Part 8

As you made your way to school, music streaming through your earbuds, a cheerful tune filling your ears, the warm sun caressed the side of your face, bringing a smile to your lips. It had been a while since you felt this genuinely happy.

Feeling light-hearted and carefree, you practically skipped your way to school, replaying the events of the previous day in your head.

Gwen held on to your wrist, inspecting the braided bracelet. ‘’Did he tell you why he gave it to you?’’ she asked.

‘’Not… really? He just said it would be something for me to smile at,’’ you said shrugging.

As you both grabbed your books, getting ready to head to your separate classes, Gwen kept giving you these mysterious and knowing looks. Finally, unable to contain your curiosity, you turned to her with a raised eyebrow.

‘’Why are you looking at me like that?’’ you asked, confused.

Gwen shrugged, the books in her hands shifting, ‘’I dunno’, you just look… happy.’’ Rolling your eyes playfully, you bumped into her, and she responded with a nonchalant shrug. Eventually, it was time for the two of you to head to your respective classes – you to science and her to math.

You stepped into the science class, clutching your books against your chest. Your eyes scanned the room, and there he was – Miguel, sitting at a double desk, his head resting lazily on his hands as he cast a casual glance in your direction. Your heart skipped a beat for a moment as you debated where to sit.

The question nagged at you: Should you take the seat next to him? But then, you wondered if you might be too eager, and if he wanted some space, not to spend every class together. A frown crossed your face as you swiftly made a decision – the desk in front of him seemed like a safer choice, right next to... Reilly.

As you walked past Miguel's desk, out of nowhere, he nonchalantly kicked the stool next to him. The stool flew at you with surprising force, smacking you in the side. It didn't hurt, but the suddenness of it shocked you, causing you to nearly drop your books as you caught the chair to keep it from toppling over. Miguel glanced at you, his head still propped up on his hand, seemingly amused by the whole incident.

Placing your books on the desk, you settled into the chair, but not without catching the disapproving look your teacher shot your way. You quickly fixed your hair, trying to keep a low profile as you quietly hissed.

"Could have just asked me to sit next to you," you mumbled under your breath, feeling a bit flustered by the whole ordeal.

Miguel, ever the cool and collected one, just shrugged with a mischievous smirk playing on his lips. "You're the one who decided to sit down. I didn't say anything~," he teased, clearly enjoying the moment.

Feeling a mix of annoyance and embarrassment, you turned your head to give him a sharp look. As you gathered your books, preparing to stand up and move elsewhere, Miguel acted swiftly. He grabbed hold of your chair and pulled it back, effectively keeping you in place. His smooth and effortless movement left you momentarily stunned.

Leaning in, Miguel's gaze remained fixed on the front of the class as he whispered playfully into your ear, "don't disrupt the class, tontita." Despite trying to ignore the shiver that went down your spine, you couldn't help but feel a bit rattled by his proximity.

As if sensing that something was amiss, Miguel continued in a hushed voice, "You feel alright? Your face is a bit red." The slight concern in his whisper made you bite down on your lip, trying to keep your composure in check.

"I'm... fine," you managed to respond, your voice wavering slightly as you felt him leaning in closer. His proximity was almost intimate, his lips teasingly brushing against your ear.

He tutted playfully, his voice dripping with warmth and affection. "Don't lie to me, amorcito. Clearly, something's got you feeling very nervous."

You nervously licked your lips, trying to avoid his intense gaze as you glanced out the window, trying to focus on anything but him, or the way he was eyeing you.

"Or is there another reason your heart is beating that fast, hmm?" he teased, his fingers gently resting against your wrist, the sensation made your eyebrows furrow, and you turned to look at him.

His voice turned hushed, and the Spanish words flowed effortlessly from his lips, sending shivers down your spine. "¿Te pongo nerviosa?’’ he asked, eyeing you curiously, ‘’¿Te gusta cuando hablo en español?" he asked, and you struggled to catch the meaning behind the words, too busy focusing on your breathing.

Turning your head to meet his gaze, you couldn't help but be mesmerized, your breath catching in your throat. His head tilted slightly, a small smirk gracing his lips as his eyes roamed over your face, lingering on your lips.

Then, he spoke again, his thumb tracing gentle circles over your knuckles. "If you wanted me to whisper sweet nothings to you in Spanish, all you had to do was ask, amorcito." The way he said it, the warmth in his voice, it made your cheeks flush, giving away your feelings.

Class seemed to fly by, and by the time the bell rang, you were almost as red as a tomato. Grabbing your books, you hurriedly left the room, trying to compose yourself.

The rest of the day was a blur as you attempted to focus on your other classes, though your mind kept drifting back to Miguel. As you made your way to your final class, your heart pounded in your chest. You flinched when you felt a hand on the small of your back, gently guiding you into the Spanish classroom.

Miguel was behind you, and even though he didn't make direct eye contact, a small smirk played on his lips. He led you to your usual table, but just as you were about to sit down, he playfully moved you to the side, letting you take the seat by the wall and the window.

Huh?

Maybe... this was a perk? You couldn't help but wonder if he was trying to show you how much he cared by being considerate. Now that you two were a bit closer, maybe he wanted to be nicer and show a sweeter side of him?

But, as you glanced down to the hand he had on your thigh, your thoughts quickly shifted. Sitting there, perfectly still, he made sure no one would notice, especially since you were on the inside of the table. That's why he gave you his seat, you realized.

The sneaky bastard!

He was hunched over, his head resting on his hand as he used his other hand to point at different Spanish words and prompt you to say them. Your thighs instinctively twitched, and you tried to discreetly close them, feeling a rush of embarrassment wash over you. You dared to glance up at his face, and he met your gaze with a small, almost innocent look – well, as close to innocent as Miguel could manage.

However, his hand on your thigh didn't move; it didn't trail or retreat. It just stayed there, driving you crazy. He wasn't blatantly groping you, but he wasn't keeping his hands to himself either. The internal struggle was real – your body ached for him to move, to touch you, and you found it hard to concentrate on the Spanish lesson. Your cheeks grew an even deeper shade of red.

Trying to maintain some composure, you cleared your throat and managed to continue with the lesson, but his proximity and the teasing touches kept you on edge. Every time his fingers lingered on your thigh, your heart raced, and your mind went blank. It was a mix of excitement and frustration, all happening while you were surrounded by other students and trying not to make a scene.

Despite your best efforts to focus on the Spanish words, your thoughts kept drifting back to Miguel and the tantalizing tension between you two. You silently prayed for the class to end soon, eager to escape the moment and get some fresh air.

"Why are you doing that?" you hissed, glancing up at him.

"Hm?~" Miguel hummed, sporting the same nonchalant and innocent look on his face.

Pfft, innocent my ass!

"Your hand, why... what are you doing?" you asked, feeling a bit awkward about bringing it up.

"You want me to move it?" he replied, his tone taking on a touch of seriousness, as if he wanted to assure you that all you had to do was tell him, and he'd comply.

Your cheeks flushed a darker shade of pink as you slowly shook your head. "I didn't say that... just... if you're not going to..."

"Well, you haven't asked me to do anything. Not yet, at least," he responded in a husky tone.

If your cheeks got any hotter, your head might just pop. Suddenly, he used his other hand to flick your forehead, and you blinked, looking at him with confusion.

"Enfoca esa cabecita tuya. Say that word for me," he said, pointing at the paper.

Despite the teasing and playful banter, you couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement mixed with nervousness. Miguel's presence had an undeniable effect on you, leaving you unsure of how to react to his teasing yet tempting advances.

The rest of the lesson followed a similar pattern. Miguel would point at words or sentences, and you'd do your best to repeat them in Spanish or explain their meaning in English. At this point, there was no denying that he knew the effect his Spanish had on you. His hand either lingered on top of yours or rested on your thigh, serving as a constant reminder of his presence beside you – a tall, broad, and undeniably handsome man fully invested in, well… you.

Glancing up, you caught him staring at you with a certain glint in his half-lidded eyes – a mix of mischief and alluring darkness. You couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking, but with the way his thumb softly stroked the inside of your thigh, you had an idea- or two.

The atmosphere was charged with a tantalizing tension, leaving you feeling both flustered and strangely exhilarated. Miguel's proximity and subtle touches had your heart racing, and you found it increasingly challenging to concentrate on the language lesson.

---

Walking away from your locker, your bag hanging off your shoulder, you stared straight ahead, your heart hammering inside your chest. He was walking behind you, a silent agreement that you were going to walk home together. There was something so mysteriously exiting about the fact that he didn’t join you at your side, but instead just walked behind you, close enough that you could smell his cologne.

Swallowing hard, you stole a glance back at him, and instantly, your cheeks flushed with heat. The way he looked at you was intense, his eyes devouring every part of you. You felt a tingle of nerves as his gaze traveled up to your hips and ass, his eyes half-lidded with an alluring smirk slowly forming on his face. You watched as his canine tooth teased with a slight peek, you found yourself momentarily entranced, and in that split second, your steps faltered, nearly causing you to trip. Swiftly recovering, you straightened up, forcing your gaze forward.

Finally, he caught up and walked beside you, emitting a small chuckle that made you feel a tad embarrassed. Just as you were about to break the silence, he surprised you by grabbing your backpack, effortlessly slinging it over his shoulder, and intertwining his fingers with yours. Your face turned bright red, and you were acutely aware that people passing by were stealing glances at you, which only intensified your blush.

---

As the train gradually slowed down, approaching your stop, he gently lifted your hand, planting a tender kiss against your knuckles. Handing you back your bag, he smiled at the way your eyes fluttered, nervously taken aback by the sweet gesture.

"Get your ass home, amorcito," he teased, and you found yourself simply nodding in response. As the train pulled away, you watched him smile slightly, and you let out a deep breath, slowly shaking your head in disbelief.

Making your way home your head was filled with one thing and one thing only; Miguel O’hara. His eyes, his hair, his skin, his face, his hands- oh god his hands… The way he smiled, the way his canine would stick out almost looking like a fang, his body, his voice-

The list went on and on, and your brain started slipping into more impure thoughts. You wondered what it would feel like to have his hand against your bare thigh, to watch his half-lidded and lustful eyes look at you, perhaps from a different angle – looking down at you, running his tongue over his lips and those inviting fangs, as he smirked. Imagining him looking down at you, head tilted to the side, with one hand in your hair as you--

"Y/n!" you heard your name being called out and turned around to see your aunt standing there, enthusiastically waving at you. You hadn't even realized you were already outside your home, but there she was, heading towards her car.

You watched as your aunt made her way into the car, a friendly smile on her face as she waved you over. Intrigued, you made your way over to her, "aunt May, where are you off to?"

"To the bank, sweetie. I need to get some paperwork done and sort out a loan," she replied, her expression showing a mix of determination and mild concern.

You furrowed your brows, wondering why she needed a loan. "Do we have money issues? I could get a job and help out if you need me to."

Her smile softened, and she shook her head. "Oh, no, dear. It's not that serious. They've just been taking their sweet time with your uncle's pension is all, and it's been a bit frustrating. But don't worry, we'll figure it out."

You opened the door, tossed your bag in the back, and joined her with a reassuring smile. She looked at you, pleasantly surprised, and asked, "You're coming with me?"

"Of course! I won't let any snooty banker mess with you," you replied, your smile mirroring hers, as she started the car.

---

As you sat there, observing the bank clerk giving you the most fake and greasy smile you'd ever seen in your life, you mentally sighed, feeling socially exhausted. This was definitely not how you had envisioned your afternoon, but you weren't going to leave your aunt to deal with this jerk by herself.

You watched as he flashed your aunt a sickeningly sweet, pearly white smile, appearing impeccably put together from head to toe. Despite his polished appearance, there was something about him that just rubbed you the wrong way. It was as if you could sense his true intentions beneath the facade as he pretended to help your aunt while suppressing whatever unkind thoughts he had. He tried to mask it with false sweetness, but his unpleasant nature was unmistakable.

"I am so sorry, ma'am, I fully understand what you are saying; however, there is nothing we can do here today, at least not from my end," he said, clasping his hands together on the desk.

"I see... well, where would we have to turn then? This is mortgage money we are talking about, a roof over our heads!" your aunt said, glancing at you with a mix of sadness and embarrassment. Had this situation been more significant than you realized? Perhaps she had been keeping you in the dark to spare you from worry. Your aunt and uncle had always wanted you to focus on your education rather than getting a job, which made sense, but if they needed help, they should have told you.

You looked up at your aunt, offering a sad yet reassuring smile.

"Well, that would be the line, right over there!" The clerk cheerfully pointed towards a line that seemed to stretch endlessly within the bank.

"We already stood in that line; we've been here for over two hours already. They directed us over to you," your aunt explained, clearly exhausted.

"Yes, well, that is the line you need to be in, so..." he replied, his unpleasant smile remaining on his face.

"She just told you; they sent us over to you. We're not standing in a line for another two hours to be told we need to leave as it’s closing time," you said, your patience running thin. "So, help us, let us speak to someone that deals with pension stuff, specifically."

He eyed you, his smile faltering for a moment before he caught himself. Your aunt mumbled something about not being rude to him and flashed him an apologetic smile.

Ah, I caught that, dirtbag.

The clerk opened his mouth to say something, but you leaned forward, hands on the desk, staring up at him with intense eyes. "I get that this is your job, and you just want to get through the people behind us until the clock hits six and you can stamp out. But this is our home, our livelihood you're neglecting, so please. Help us."

You watched as the corner of his mouth twitched, his smile almost faltering again. "Listen here--- kid," he said, then flashed your aunt a smile, which made her eyes narrow. He leaned towards you, and you sensed his insincerity. "I'm telling you, I can't--"

Suddenly, he stared past you, a look of pure fear on his face before he quickly ducked down under his desk, leaving you and your aunt sitting there, blinking in confusion. Suddenly another desk came flying past the desk you were sitting at, and you and your aunt let out a scream, crouching down on the floor.

A man with four mechanical arms attached to his torso, laughed as his steel appendages pushed desks, chairs, and people out of his way. Your aunt crawled over to you and pushed you behind her, instructing you to keep low as she glanced around, and the bank clerk hid behind her as well.

‘’I'm here for the money, but I don't mind crushing a few of you, if you tempt me," the man declared, turning around with an smile on his face.

A metal arm pointed towards you and your aunt as he spoke, "YOU! Open the vault!"

Both you and your aunt realized he was talking to the bank clerk behind you, the one shrinking back and shaking, holding onto your aunt's shoulder.

"I... I can't!" the clerk stammered, which seemed to send the man into a fit of rage.

The metallic arms slammed into the ground, pulling the man across it and towards the three of you. You watched in horror as one of the arms smacked into you, sending you flying to the side with a painful cry. Your aunt cried out for you, reaching for you but was pulled to the opposite side, being held down by one of the metal arms. You yelled for her as the man picked up the clerk by his arm, hoisting him above all of you and staring at him, teeth gritted together in a snarl.

"OPEN IT!"

"I CAN'T! I- I WOULD IF I COULD! I SWEAR!" the clerk cried out, but the man scoffed and flung him away, sending him towards a wall with deadly force. However, he was saved just in time as a web flew out and caught him, lowering him to the ground slowly.

"That's not very nice of you, Doc Ock. These fine people are just here to do their daily banking," a voice said.

You watched as Spider-Man dropped behind the villain, tilting his head to the side as he observed him. Doc Ock turned around, an evil smile on his face as his shades slid down his nose ever so slightly, taking in the sight of Spider-Man.

"Why don't we take this outside, buddy," Spider-Man said, his arms crossed over his chest nonchalantly.

"Oh, I don't know~ I'm here to make a withdrawal myself, and I do so hate standing in line," Doc Ock replied.

You watched as the metal arm tightened around your aunt, pulling her up from her feet and hoisting her over to him, above the floor. She cried out, and you panicked, eyes darting around in a haze, searching for anything to grab onto. Spider-Man tensed up, as if he was about to charge him, only to freeze as another arm flipped out a large sharp blade.

"Ah, ah~" Doc Ock tutted at him, "we wouldn't want to—"

His head shot forward, the metallic arm letting go of your aunt, allowing her to crawl away in fear as you swung the heavy metal lamp against the back of his head. Doc Ock swung around, a metal arm coming up and grabbing you by the throat, lifting you into the air, choking you. Your face went red as you spat at him, telling him to get his stinking hands off your aunt. He pulled you close to his face, a snarl on his face as he was about to say something.

Suddenly, he dropped you as a pair of legs flew into him, kicking him into the opposite wall. Dropping to your knees, your hand clutched at your neck as you let out a few dry coughs. You watched as Spider-Man landed back on his feet in front of you, a worrying hand held out towards you before he froze. As you looked up at his masked face, you saw him staring down at you, the eyes on his mask looking almost wide, as if he recognized you.

Did he recognize you from when he saved you before?

Suddenly, your head whipped around as a piece of the wall that had been broken off on his impact came flying towards you. You barely had time to close your eyes when Spider-Man caught it, without even looking away from you, his masked face glued to you. He dropped the piece of broken-off wall at your feet, blinking to regain himself. He looked at Doc Ock and then back at you. Grabbing the front of your shirt, he pulled you safely behind a desk and leaned close, his eyes turned into slits as if he was glaring at you.

‘’DO. NOT. MOVE.’’ He said, making it sound more like a warning than a request.

You watched, glancing past the desk as he moved forward. His fists clenched tightly, then abruptly released, fingers arching as the tip of them extended in to sharp talons. You sat there, mesmerized, as he effortlessly leaped into action, crashing into Doc Ock and sending him hurtling towards the wall. The impact shook the room, and the battle commenced with an electrifying intensity.

Your aunt crawled over to you, her hands on your shoulders, inspecting you with fear in her eyes. She rested a hand on your cheek, and you responded by placing your hand over hers, flashing a small smile. Together, the two of you watched the intense battle unfold, with metal arms flailing and grabbing onto anything they could to toss at Spiderman.

People started rushing out of the bank in a frantic frenzy, the blaring sirens adding to the chaos outside. Amidst the panic, your aunt tightly grabbed hold of your hand, urgently guiding you towards the exit. However, in the rush, you stumbled and fell to your knees, a sharp hiss escaping your lips from the pain.

Despite the discomfort, your aunt didn't relent, pulling you up as she continued towards the door. Unfortunately, a mass of people suddenly converged, bumping into the both of you, causing you to lose your balance and fall to the ground again. Struggling to keep up, you called out for your aunt amidst the commotion as people unknowingly trampled and tripped over you.

Finally, a security guard noticed your aunt's distress and quickly rushed to her aid. He helped her back up on her feet and then guided her towards the exit, leaving you behind for a moment. As you glanced up, your aunt's worried face appeared through the crowd, her arms outstretched, urging you to join her. However, before you could reach her, the tide of people pulled her away and outside.

You swiftly gathered yourself, managing to regain your footing amid the chaotic scene. Pushing aside a man who nearly trampled you, you rushed over to a nearby pillar, using it as cover while you surveyed the room. The situation inside the building was becoming even more dangerous, as canisters were shot inside the building and scattered across the floor. One of these canisters landed dangerously close to you, and you found yourself frozen in shock, unable to move.

In an instant, the canister burst open, releasing a thick cloud of smoke that quickly filled the room. Despite the haze and disorientation, you remained focused on finding an escape route. Your eyes darted around, searching for any possible way out of the suffocating situation.

You caught a glimpse of a small window to your right, determination took over, and you sprinted towards it, desperate to find fresh air. However, in your haste, you accidentally collided with a woman, sending her stumbling backward. You quickly reached out a hand to help her up. She took your hand with a shaky 'thank you,' and without a moment's hesitation, the two of you ran towards the window together.

But before you could react; the woman was pushed down to the floor, and you found yourself pinned against the wall, a metal arm pressing down on your throat, making it hard to breathe. You watched as Dr. Octavius, emerged through the smoke, his metal arms moved with eerie grace, skimming the floor as they carried him forward.

"You!" His snarl echoed through the chaos as one of the menacing metal arms lunged towards your face, giving the impression of a malevolent creature eager to sink its jaws into you. A mix of fear and adrenaline surged through your veins, prompting you to grab hold of the arm in a desperate attempt to defend yourself. However, your resistance proved futile as Dr. Octopus effortlessly lifted you off the ground, his iron grip constricting your throat and robbing you of precious air. Gasping for breath, you struggled to break free, the room spinning around you as the grip tightened, leaving you feeling helpless.

Another one of Dr. Octopus's menacing metal arms shot out, catching Spiderman by surprise as he attempted to lunge at him from behind. The villainous doctor swiftly seized Spiderman by the ribs and slammed him into the wall right beside you. A pained grunt escaped Spiderman as he collided with the unforgiving surface, leaving him momentarily stunned.

As Spiderman looked up, his eyes met yours, and he froze at the sight of you pressed up against the wall, a sharp claw held menacingly at your throat. Tears welled up in the corners of your eyes, the terror of the situation overwhelming you.

The eyes on Spiderman's masked face shot up in shock, but he wasted no time. With a growl of determination, he slammed his hand above your head, his talons digging into the wall to anchor himself in place. Despite Dr. Octopus's attempts to pry him away, Spiderman held his ground, using his other hand to grasp the claw around your neck, attempting to pry it open.

The claw emitted whirring sounds and sparks flew, as if it were a living creature in pain, but Spiderman persisted. With a forceful motion, he ripped the claw away from your throat and pushed forward, delivering a swift kick to Dr. Octopus's face. The impact sent the villain stumbling backward, his metal arms releasing Spiderman to support their master instead.

Spiderman sprang into action, showing remarkable strength as he swiftly grabbed both you and the woman on the ground under his arms, carrying you both like bags of potatoes. With incredible agility, he dashed toward the window, leaping out with ease despite the added weight of carrying two people in each arm. In a split second, he released the woman, tossing her safely towards a group of cops who awkwardly caught her.

Turning his attention to you, Spiderman was about to set you down, but his instincts kicked in just in time. He jerked his head up and shot you into the air, catching you on his back and webbing onto a nearby building. Just as he did, two clawed metal arms came flying toward him, digging into the ground where he had been standing moments ago.

"I know you're not a fan of heights, but I don't really have much of a choice, I'm afraid," Spiderman quipped as he firmly dug his claws into the building's wall, scaling it with impressive speed.

You clung tightly to his back, your legs wrapped around his hips and your hands gripping his shoulders. As he mumbled a quiet "hold on tight," you glanced back and found your hand instinctively digging into his shoulders, a small whimper escaping your lips.

Spiderman looked back at you and then glanced down at what caught your attention. There was Dr. Octopus, scaling the building behind you, his metal arms slamming into the surface and propelling him upward.

"Man... this guy just DOESN'T. GIVE. UP!" Spiderman muttered, emphasizing each word. As he continued climbing, he carefully moved you from his back to his front, ensuring you were safely pressed against him.

"We gotta stop meeting like this," he joked, then webbed onto a part of the building. Using his legs and arm, he kicked himself and you higher up the building, one hand securely holding your back to keep you close and safe.

"I... I didn't think you'd remember me!" you joked back, glancing down to find that Dr. Octopus was no longer following you. A slight worry creased your brow as you anxiously looked around.

Spiderman's head perked up, and for a moment, he stopped and locked eyes with you. "You kidding me?" he asked, glancing down to scan the area. "Who'd forget a face as pretty as yours?" he said with a playful smirk behind the mask, trying to lighten the tense situation.

The building shook, causing you to hold onto him tighter, fear gripping you as you looked up at him. Just as he leaned in, seemingly about to say something, you noticed a danger above. Your eyes shot up in panic, and you urgently warned him to watch out.

Reacting swiftly, Spiderman grabbed your hips, pulling you off him and tossing you into the air, like a cheerleader doing a basket toss. You cried out in surprise as you landed on a part of the building with a large ledge, barely able to regain your footing before witnessing one of Dr. Octopus's metal arms slamming into Spiderman, pushing him against the building and then pulling him away roughly.

"No!" you screamed, reaching out for him.

"I will be right back, promise! Don't—uh, MOVE!" he managed to get out before being pulled away from you and the ledge you sat on.

You were now perched precariously on the ledge, your back pressed against it, aware that any wrong move could send you tumbling to the pavement below. Your head spun from the height as you watched Spiderman engaging in a fierce battle with Dr. Octopus.

Amid the struggle, Doc Ock caught Spiderman and looked between the two of you before turning his head to Spiderman with a twisted smirk. "Didn't you get the memo?" he taunted, pulling Spiderman close to his face. "It's not take your girlfriend to work day!" With a forceful move, he raised Spiderman into the air and threw him into another building, sending him crashing through a window.

Fear engulfed you as Dr. Octopus turned his attention towards you. Panicking, you reached for anything around you, trying not to move too much. His metal arms pushed him off the building he was on, and he quickly approached you. His claws dug into the walls next to you, making you flinch and nearly slip off the ledge. One of the arms wrapped around your midsection, preventing you from falling but leaving you hanging over the edge of the building.

Spiderman swiftly landed on the roof in front of you and Dr. Octopus, his head moving between the two of you frantically before stopping at Doc ock.

‘’Doc… don’t. There’s no need to hurt anyone else!’’ He said, his hand held up in surrender.

You couldn't help but whimper as Dr. Octopus pulled you closer to his face, while Spiderman flinched, as if wanting to intervene but restraining himself. "Well, my dear, what is so special about you, hm~?" Dr. Octopus inquired, tilting you slightly to get a better look at your face. Your gaze darted between him and Spiderman, a mix of confusion and terror etched across your features.

‘’Nothing is! It’s just kind of in the job description to save all citizens.’’ Spiderman defended, adding a sheepish, ‘’Sorry kid, no offense!’’ Despite his attempt at humor, you cried out, feeling the pain intensify as Dr. Octopus's arm tightened around your ribs.

"NO! STOP!" Spiderman's voice rang out, a potent mix of anger and fear in his tone.

Threateningly, Dr. Octopus warned, "Lie to me again, and I'll crush her spine." He shifted you to a more visible position, causing the arm to tighten further, and you let out a whimpering gasp.

"OKAY! Okay, just-!" Spiderman growled, his clawed fist clenching tightly as he looked up at Dr. Octopus. "She... she's special! Okay?" Dr. Octopus seemed intrigued, and the arm holding onto you moved back slightly, loosening its grip, allowing you to breathe again. "How?" he asked, eyes focusing on you.

"JUST LET HER GO!" Spiderman roared, making you flinch.

Dr. Octopus turned to look at him, a sickening smirk on his face as he casually shrugged. "You got it, Spidey," he replied nonchalantly. In an instant, you felt the arm release you, and you began to fall, hurtling towards certain death below.

"NO!!!" Spiderman's desperate cry pierced the air as you fell. Time seemed to slow as you made eye contact with him, his masked eyes wide with fear and shock. You reached out for him, your hand trying to bridge the distance as your hair obscured your vision.

Reality hit, and you realized you were falling to your death.

In (a very interesting!) reply to a recent ask, you said: “There are positives to having a monarchy, it does work to protect democracy even though it shouldn't.” In what way do you feel the monarchy protects the democracy? I don’t disagree with you but I’m curious about your reasoning! Is it the fact that the PM is in fact beholden to someone else who can hold him to account in theory (even if royal political interference is frowned upon in practice)?

So this will sound like a cop out but truly I could write a book on it, it’s just impossible to answer fully in a Tumblr message lol. You can start with our podcast episode Cones of Power (my favourite). It’s from about 34 minutes to 44 minutes. I’m the slightly less posh one who is very excited to be talking about it haha. I’ll try to keep it short but I could say much much more.

Essentially the greatest asset of having a monarch when it comes to democracy is that by giving power to the monarch you stop someone else having it. We know in practice that the monarch respects the government and the will of the people and so in most cases they do what the government tells them. They don’t use their powers. But they could. And that is always the elephant in the room with every prime minister. They can’t rally the troops to depose the monarch because the troops don’t swear allegiance to them. They can’t sign a law that makes them prime minister forever because the monarch’s loyalty is to the constitution and they have the power to stop it. They can’t pack the Supreme Court with their extremist besties because the monarch has to approve any appointment.

You might think “but Jessica, you’ve explained how the monarch prevents a dictatorial PM but what about the monarch becoming a dictator?” And that’s a great question! Theoretically the monarch can do what they want. But this is where the UK is strange and complicated. We have no single written constitution. The monarch doesn’t become a dictator because of constitutional conventions, rules that are not technically law but are generally accepted to be binding. To quote UCL’s dedicated constitutional unit:

“The fact that such rules are non-legal—and so legally unenforceable—does not mean that they lack enforcers, or sanctions; though these will be political, not legal in nature. Nor does this mean they are unimportant, compared to legal rules: on the contrary, conventions play a key role in the British constitution, and in other constitutions as well. They ensure that the constitution operates in accordance with prevailing constitutional values; existing conventions may evolve, and new ones emerge, in line with changing practice and changing attitudes. In this way, significant constitutional change can occur, over time, without any fundamental change in the law.”

The key constitutional conventions for the monarch are that they will be non-partisan and they will not use their powers but will instead defer to the government’s wishes. If you listen to another podcast episode Beauty Base Zero we talk about it at the start. The conventions we have now, for all their silliness and traditionalism and archaic qualities, are not arbitrary. We have them because of 1000 years of constant refinement and change, 1000 years of trial and error. So if the monarch doesn’t stick to those conventions, just because it’s legally ok doesn’t mean it won’t have consequences. Historically monarchs who have acted against convention have at best been forced to abdicate and at worst have had their heads cut off. Convention is set by what we the public deem acceptable. We elect the government to act on our behalf. So if convention is violated, the government have a mandate to act on our behalf to correct it. And so in turn the monarch generally behaves and does what convention dictates, because it would be bad for them if they didn’t.

In short, the monarch has the final say which the government doesn’t have and needs. The government has the public mandate which the monarch doesn’t have and needs. And so together they create balance, neither side can ever be too powerful or destabilising.

I appreciate it sounds counter intuitive - give up democracy to protect democracy - but it does work surprisingly well. Monarchies are consistently overrepresented amongst the most democratic countries in the world. It may not work for every country (Greece, Romania etc), it isn’t the only system that could work in theory, and it doesn’t erase the other solid arguments against the monarchy but I think a lot of the rhetoric from fellow anti-monarchists is “if we remove them that fixes everything and they have no positives” and that’s not true. And I think it’s dangerous to rush into the biggest change to our country in centuries without having a real conversation - not mindless nationalist flag waving, but also not blinkered and naive hot takes in an effort to sound progressive online. So unless someone could propose a democratic system which would work just as well (and costs nothing to implement lol) I’d be wary of voting to remove the monarchy at this particular moment in time, given the instability in this country at the moment. Even if I oppose it on theoretical grounds.

Finally, he pulls back to a more reasonable distance with a shaky sigh. It’s a sound of relief. You want to hug him, and all the past hims who have ever been hurt by anyone.

this quote made me so 🥹 like yayyy resolution ugh i could cry

A drop of warmth makes a splash in your stomach and slowly spreads through every vein and capillary until you’re sure you’re glowing gold.

His own eyes are shiny and full of wonder as he studies you for a short while, like you're doing something much more awe-inspiring than sniffling in the passenger seat of his car.

You give him an exaggerated nod, still sniffing, and the smile that grows on his face is like seeing the sun rise above the ocean. You love his smile. You love him.

these three parts are so golden and perfect and lovely i’m smiling typing this ugh i love it i LOVE IT. i love this part so much i haven’t read it in a while so it was even better coming back to it yayyy!!

YOU

I see you like the warriors of hope from danganronpa

Any hcs you can share?

Finally! /hj

Quite a few, tho they may not be the best lol😅

Also, influenced by my 'Princess of Light' AU—basically a universe where Monaca met Makoto instead and was inpired by him.

Oh, and the rest of the Warriors are yanderes cause why not?

If anyone wanna check it out, here! I have some hcs that are specific for that au as well—if anyone is interested, I can post those too.

Anywho, hcs. Tw: angst, dark stuff. I'll add some silly fluff ones at the end so just scroll there if you wanna avoid the heavier drabbles

Monaca Towa

I have a feeling that Monaca is a bit like Cruella and/ or Himiko Toga. She already had some questionable tendencies that only worsen with the way she was treated; she just needed some help but we know how that ended up

Monaca def has a sibling complex. I think she always just wanted a family. No matter what, it's a fact: she was just a kid; a half-sibling was still a sibling to her, yet Haiji was absolutely disgusted by her very existence. (As someone with two older siblings I can't even imagine the pain)

I mean, just look at her wiki. The way it describes what others, what Haiji thought if her? Her own quotes? Yikes

Which is probably why she was so quickly and obsessively attached with Junko; the person who could be her sister—her family

Wanna know the 'best part'? It is canon that she knew perfectly well that Junko not only didn't actually care for them but was using them too. Ouch

Nagisa Shingetsu

Due to what his parents put him through, he abhors games where you have to grind or constantly level up.

He does however love cute casual/ mindless stuff; games where you can just turn off your brain and enjoy yourself—games where you don't need to be perfect, you can just be you

He is either completely terrified or utterly apathetic to needles. Like when the school nurse come to give the annual shot, he's either gonna break down or be like 'huh, another one.'

Pretty numb to sensations most of the time. Especially bad during exam week or if his parents have a new theory they wanna 'try out'

Kotoko Utsugi

Panics when men get into her personal space—espeacially fearful of the older/ bigger ones

Has dark tendencies too; it's unfair that she had to go through the abuse, so why not share the pain?

She'd tear some of the girls' skirt or top, or splash water onto them.

She wants other girls to be tainted so that she herself feels less dirty

When she used to act in school plays, she tried to spend as much time at rehearsals so that she didn't have to at her 'other job'

Probably has an eating disorder—mostly cause her mom keeps telling her she needs to be cute or else she is worthless

Jataro Kemuri

His obsession with hatred comes from the belief that while he is despised he is still paid attention too

Afterall, hate and love aren't opposites—they're paralells. Apathy is the true opposite

Jataro would pick being degraded and laughed at 1000× over being ignored

His worst experience was when his mom got so fed up that she didn't even get mad at him, just glared and walked away. A whole day of damning silence

Also, likely why he says random stuff; it confuses others and gives him their attention, if momentarily

Masaru Daimon

Due to his dad's addictions, Masaru flinches at the sight of a lighter

Additionally, he really hates strong smelling substances

He learnt how to patch himself and knew basic medical skills at a young age

As we've seen, he can also be self destructive; bruising himself when he feels like he's not living up to the title of 'Hero'

Lived off instant foods since his dad only gave him meager pocket change for it.

Now, onto the more light-hearted ones!

They like playing the Sims and/ or Minecraft together! Kotoko would design their characters and work with Jataro to build their house; Nagisa prefers playing free/ creative mode cause there's no goals or restrictions to abide; Masaru would likely be the only one hyped to finish certain milestones purely to brag; Monaca, well, she's gonna unleash all her pent up frustrations on those poor Sims/ mobs.

They used to have movie nights together! It was Kotoko's idea since it was an adorbs trend. Initially it was just the girls but eventually the guys joined too. They usually do it either at Monaca's place or very rarely at Jataro's.

They each have different love languages! Jataro's is physical touch, since he never recieved anything from his mother due to her disgust of him; Masaru's is words of affirmation as his dad never really said anything good about him and only talked when necessary; Kotoko's is quality time—since, prior to Monaca, people only interact/ spend time with her they have an ulterior motive; Nagisa's is acts of service—as he never had someone do something for him that didn't harm him; finally, Monaca's is gifts—she's the girl who has everything, but feels like she has nothing—a present, no matter how big or small, as long as it is genuine is precious to her

Speaking of, Monaca prob has a few gifts from the Warriors, and possibly even her other classmates, that she keeps. She says it's just for future blackmail but her heart says otherwise

Masaru is actually a pretty decent cook! He had grown tired of fast food so much he actually learnt how to make some basic meals. He sometimes even cooks for the others—mostly to impress them but still! Though he much prefers eating then preparing the meals

Jataro is awful at cooking tho—in fact, he's banned from the kitchen. He tends to get distracted and ends up putting random things into the mix

I have a feeling that all the Warriors have a 'liking' to Monaca, by different degrees however: Nagisa's is of course pupply love; Masaru thinks that they belong together since he's the Hero and she's the Princess; Kotoko probably sees her as a pure untainted angel that needs to be protected; and Jataro... well, maybe he's just confused lol

get to know me ask game

Tagged by @telomeke , @magpie24601 thanks!

RULES: bold the ones that are true & tag 10 people to do it.

APPEARANCE

blonde hair // I prefer loose clothing to tight clothing // I have one or more piercings // I have at least one tattoo // I have dyed or highlighted my hair // I have gotten plastic surgery // I have or had braces // I sunburn easily // I have freckles // I paint my nails // I typically wear makeup // I don’t often smile // I am pleased with how I look // I prefer Nike to Adidas // I wear baseball hats backwards

I don't dislike tight clothes, but loose clothes will always win.

Four ear piercings. One on the left, three on the right.

I discovered my love for nail polish around five years ago, along with my love for glitter.

It's more that I don't pay much attention to how i look. I can look better or worse, and it won't really affect any aspect of my life, so it's not important.

HOBBIES & TALENTS

I play a sport // I can play an instrument // I am artistic // I know more than one language // I have won a trophy in some sort of competition // I can cook or bake without a recipe // I know how to swim // I enjoy writing // I can do origami // I prefer movies to tv shows // I can execute a perfect somersault // I enjoy singing // I could survive in the wild on my own // I have read a new book series this year // I enjoy spending time with friends // I travel during work or school breaks // I can do a handstand

Only two, Thai, my mother tongue, and English.

I can swim, sure. Not very well, tho. I still remember my PE teacher being, "How can you be this slow?" at an extracurricular event.

I enjoyed writing those posts about the Thai language and culture a lot more than I expected. I also started writing a fanfic recently, and it feels kind of good. Tbh, going into this, I thought I would be able to enjoy the result but not much the process. But the process is okay too. It's a pleasant surprise, considering that I was a kid who submitted less than 500 words for a 1000-word assignment.

I can do origami, and I like doing it. I stopped now because it piled up, and since it's made of paper, Idk what I can do with it except just store it in a box.

I started a new book series. I may or may not finish it by year's end.

I enjoy spending time with friends. Of course!

RELATIONSHIP

I am in a relationship // I have been single for over a year // I have a crush // I have a best friend who I’ve known for ten years // my parents are together// I have dated my best friend // I am adopted // my crush has confessed to me // I have a long distance relationship // I am an only child // I give advice to my friends // I have made an online friend // I met up with someone I have met online

I have been single all my life, actually. Not even a single crush. Probably an aro.

Most of my friends are people I've known for more than ten years. I don't know how to make new friends😅

I'm not sure, actually. Maybe? At what point are people considered friends by others?

AESTHETICS

I have heard the ocean in a conch shell // I have watched the sun rise // I enjoy rainy days // I have slept under the stars // I meditate outside // the sound of chirping calms me // I enjoy the smell of the beach // I know what snow tastes like // I listen to music to fall asleep // I enjoy thunderstorms // I enjoy cloud watching // I have attended a bonfire // I pay close attention to colors // I find mystery in the ocean // I enjoy hiking on nature paths // autumn is my favorite season

I enjoy all that except bonfires. I have attended bonfires, sure, but it was against my will lol

MISCELLANEOUS

I can fall asleep in a moving vehicle // I am the mom friend // I live by a certain quote // I like the smell of sharpies // I am involved in extracurricular activities // I enjoy Mexican food // I can drive a stick shift // I believe in true love // I make up scenarios to fall asleep // I sing in the shower // I wish I lived in a video game // I have a canopy above my bed // I am multiracial // I am a redhead // I own at least 3 dogs

If I don't sleep in a car, chances are I will get car sickness.

Mexican food is great! It's my favorite way to eat uncooked vegetables.

If not by making up scenarios, how do you fall asleep?

I mean, technically? But also not really? I am multiracial in the same way that I believe that if a person is born in a place that is not isolated, then that person must be somewhat mixed. My mom counted back and said she knew for a fact that our family had at least five different ethnicities, but that was quite far back? The closest one is from my grandparents on my dad's side.

Tagging : @shouldiusemyname, @akkrosu, @rocketturtle4, @troubled-mind, @scarefox, @lurkingteapot, @williamrikers, @blmpff, @dimplesandfierceeyes, @airenyah

as I write two posts at the same time, I tag the same people in both posts lol. Everyone, please feel free to ignore one or both.

wow, snc made things more dramatic and now i definitely have to write this up today lol

okay. so, i do and have done the occasional tarot card reading on snc. you can see all the past ones i've done here. but i haven't done one in a while.

then everything happened on colby's bday and curiosity got the better of me so i had to see what was happening.

DISCLAIMER: i am an extreme novice at tarot cards. not to mention each card can have a multitude of meanings depending on who is reading them. this is just what i believe the cards are telling me. i went into this reading super positive and light, just wanting to know what the universe could tell me.

that being said, if you don't agree with the reading or with me doing readings on snc, i get that. totally understandable. you don't have to read this, especially if it's gonna upset you. feel free to ignore this. this was all in good fun and good faith. at the end of the day, i'm not claiming to be right or that everything that is said is 1000% factual. this is all for entertainment purposes only. take this with a grain of salt, and have a good day :)

HOLY SHIT THIS IS LONG so strap in lol

so i ended up doing two readings on sam and colby. one card in particular popped up in both readings, and i think that card is super significant to them: queen of wands.

i'll come back to that card after everything is said and done.

so the first reading, i asked "what's snc's current friendship like/going thru?" these are the cards i got. i'll give a bit of a description of each card and then i'll tell you how i think they relate snc/the situation that is happening. also, i use this site for most of my interpretations/how i understand these cards. i also have some books i use occasionally.

first card i got - the hermit. initial thought this was sam, since it's one of his birth cards. but looking at the reading as a whole, it's not him. or at least i don't feel it is. about the hermit: needing to be alone, to reflect, clear your mind of everyday problems and whatnot. looking inward to understand the shit you're facing now. reclusive.

second card - five of pentacles reversed. when i used that website, one of the things that stuck out to me that it said: FORGIVENESS. the card itself (in reverse) is about the worst being over, but not expecting things to change overnight or immediately. regaining stability.

third card - page of wands reversed. interesting card in the reverse, bc it's about making hasty decisions, and moving on but only bc you're impatient. moving on to more meaningful projects.

fourth card - queen of wands. i'm just gonna quote the site bc i like how they word this card: "…depict a person of extreme focus and fiery passion. She is courageous and individualistic, though at times she may appear self-centered. They have a positive and an uplifting energy; they represent someone who is willing to be by your side and stand up for you."

fifth card - ten of swords reversed. this card is about hitting rock bottom, realizing you're there, but also coming to the conclusion that there is nothing but up from here. starting anew, but you having to take the first step to get yourself out of the situation.

sixth and final card - ten of cups. super positive. super great card to have. emotional satisfaction, happiness, joy. all that good stuff. one thing to note, the way the website worded it "…satisfaction in your family, relationship or companion. It represents an idyllic state of comfort, harmony, peace and love which makes you feel like you are in paradise."

okay, so what does all of this mean??

how i'm reading it (which again, someone else could read this a bit differently, so take what i say as you will) is the first two cards are colby. initially, like i said, i thought the hermit was sam. but looking at the overall reading, i don't think he fits into that card as of right now. the third and fourth card are sam. and the last two cards are the problem and solution.

so, i think that colby is feeling a bit like a recluse. or at least wants to be one. if you know anything about colby, you'll know that he likes his alone time. he likes to be by himself. and i think this past year, he didn't really get to be alone. he was always either doing something with sam (like editing, filming, travelling, partying, literally living together, ect) or he was with other ppl. and i think this, combine with the fact he was alone for christmas (but not in a sad way - he decided to be alone and take a vacay) shows that he wants to have down time again. something that maybe he felt like he didn't get to have this past year. and i think that card mixed with the five of pentacles reversed, shows that maybe he wants to gain some stability back. he feels off center. and he'll be able to gain it back, but he needs to share how he feels with sam.

which leads into sam's cards. i don't think it's a stretch to say that sam is a workaholic. colby is too, ngl. but i think colby also likes to take breaks, to have down time. sam on the other hand isn't like that. he seems like the type to think a three day weekend is enough time off. sam constantly needs to be on the move, constantly needs to be working. he doesn't want down time bc he's too jittery. the page of wands reversed shows he's impatient currently and just wants to jump back into work. that the two weeks he took off for christmas was far too much time and now he wants to start working again. move on from what they did last year and become bigger and better this year, even if colby isn't ready (hence the hasty part of it all). the queen of wands also shows he's extremely passionate about the work he's gonna get into this year. he's excited for what's to come, which could explain why he wants to jump into it so quickly.

the ten of swords reversed - this is what the fight has sorta caused, in a way. or rather, how things feel now. and the ten of cups is how things are gonna play out once things have settled and snc have worked things over.

this next part is TRULY just me assuming so again… salt grains lol

i think colby wants to slow down a bit on the workload. or at least distribute it better so that it doesn't feel like a mountain. sam, on the other hand, sees colby wanting to slow down as almost quitting, which ISN'T WHAT COLBY WANTS. colby just wants to be able to have a vacation this year, and let it be a vacation. not a work vacation where they have to film or edit, but a legit "relax, do nothing" vacation. i think this past year colby felt overwhelmed by the workload and most likely wanted to talk about this sooner. but sam kept pushing it off, saying "oh we'll talk about it later. just work these next couple weeks and we'll talk about it then." but that time never came. so it most likely came to a head when colby got back from vacation and sam, the workaholic, wanted to immediately jump back into doing work, even tho the new year hadn't even started. colby told him no, and that's how the fight began. now they're both feeling a bit petty, a bit upset with one another. which is why both new years and colby's bday they didn't hang out.

but all is well, bc clearly with the ten of cups - things will work out. they will find their balance again. it's just gonna take some time.

the second reading i did, basically reiterated the same thing here. maybe explained some stuff further, but the overall general jist is the same.

i ended up asking for cards representing each of them, plus their problem and then the solution. i ended up again with six cards.

and i just wanted to add bc it is important - six is a fantastic number with friendships. literally the embodiment of heart. it's an empathy number. okay just wanted to add that in.

sam was represented by the king of swords - head over heart, remain objective, stick to facts. the website also said that this card showing up mean you should reason with others.

colby was represented by six of cups - wanting to return to happier times, nostaligic, missing what you once had. looking into the past to find the answers you need now.

the problem was shown as the four of cups reversed - wanting to live in the moment. starting anew, seeing the beauty in life. this card also being the same suit as colby to me feels extremely connected aka how he feels.

solution - three cards came up for it. first being nine of swords - fear and anxiety. destructive mind, possibly something that has troubled you before (dear lord this card now is CLICKING FOR ME. you'll see why in a minute). next card was the king of wands reversed - rash, hasty decisions, no restraint, pushy and overbearing. and the final card, again, the queen of wands.

so again, what does all of this mean?

i think that the main issue that's been plaguing colby for a hot minute is that he feels like they are spending all their time working and not enough time both living in the moment and/or getting time to relax (which he briefly mentioned wanting to do, living in the moment, on a recent podcast on xplrclub). sam, on the other hand, doesn't mind the lack of vacation or time off bc (and this is no offense to him) he lives to work, not works to live. and if he's happy like that, that's great. but he can't expect colby to feel the same way all of the time. colby needs time off, but sam sees that request as almost insulting - like colby wants to stop working when they are in the prime of their careers. maybe colby also wants to venture off and do something on his own, and sam doesn't like the sound of that either bc that would take away time for him to work on SNC Enterprises.

colby misses a time when life was easier. but i think he also misses when sam used to be a bit… kinder? maybe more open minded? something like that. bc, and to relate back to that one card that i said was clicking, they've basically had this conversation before. a couple years back, like 2016/17, snc along with nate and alex went on a trip together, one of the yearly boys trips, and sam tweeted out an apology to colby saying this:

so clearly, this is an reoccurring issue in their friendship. sam gets too wrapped up in the business side of things, and all colby wants is his friend back. which i think is why colby is both feeling nostalgic (both for old sam, so to speak, and also just the previous less stressful life he once had) and reclusive. he wants his alone time, but he also wants to be able to have things work better than what they are currently. sam, i think, is a bit blindsided by the business of it all, and is not allowing himself to see his friend hurting, even if it's subtle. sam isn't great at expressing his emotions, he's said that himself before, and i think he's ignoring colby's emotions bc it could affect everything. but it doesn't have to get that way as long as they work things out. not to mention, but i think sam is also scared to lose colby which is why he might be ignoring what is happening and instead just trying to focus on working, which is something he can control.

regardless, i do believe they will work things out. the queen of wands i think is a great representation of them when they are at their best: fiery, passionate, but individuals. i think in the mists of all of this working, they've lost themselves to some degree. they work best when they have outlets outside of one another. it makes sense; everyone needs time to themselves and away from their friends. we all love our alone time. i think these past years snc have been so wrapped up in their business and growing, that they've lost time for themselves. and while sam is able to "function" like this, most likely bc he's ignoring his own needs, colby cannot. so all he wants is a bit of slow down period for them both, which will definitely be beneficial in the long run. sam just isn't seeing it that way rn.

i also know that a lot of ppl that read this card usually see it as a feminine card - or the sign that a woman is coming into your life, but what i kind of interpret it as is that they both need to allow themselves to feel, to get in touch with their feminine side, and open up to one another. that way, they can work passionately without feeling like they're drowning.

TLDR: snc possibly had a fight bc colby is overwhelmed with the workload they had this past year (and might want to do things outside of SNC Enterprises). sam is a bit insulted by that bc he's a workaholic. they will eventually work on this and make it thru, but it will most likely take some time.

a slight add on to all of this, i also have been dabbling in asking yes/no questions, which you can in fact do. i've seen multiple different ways to ask yes/no questions - some just involve looking up to see if a certain "means" yes or no, some do whole spreads and get a general idea - but what method i found to be the most easiest for me is just shuffling the deck and seeing if the card that falls out is either upright or in reverse. upright yes, reverse no, maybe being the card falling out sideways. some of the answer might be inconclusive, which just means to me that i shuffled for a long time and either nothing came out or i got too many cards (like half the deck) falling out, and i interpret that as the answer being a bit muddy or ever-changing and thus can't be answered rn.

idk if i truly believe in this, but i find it interesting and fun. so… here are the questions i asked lol

did they fight - yes are they upset with one another - yes x3 (three cards fell out all facing upright… so i'll take it as a definite lol) is it about stas - no is it bc of something colby wants (possibly a bit of seperating/going his own way) - yes does sam feel abandoned/left behind - no does colby want to take a break - inconclusive does he want to slow down - yes is that why they had a fight - yes is there more to the fight than just this - yes...? (it was a bit hard to pinpoint bc i kept getting so many cards, most upright tho. but realistically, no fight is ever really just about one single thing so… take this as you will) is colby scared of losing his youth - yes is sam scared of losing his youth - yes will they work out their fight/differences - yes and no (literally two cards at a time came out and said both yes and no) is it gonna take some time - inconclusive they still love and care about each other right - immediate yes will they come to a conclusion even if they have to agree to disagree - yes is colby upset with stas - maybe / yes (again two cards) is that why he didn't hang out with everyone on his bday - no (which makes sense based on the other yes/no question)

okay, feel free to send in any asks about this. if you made it this far, congrats. you deserve a trophy lol

love the Magnus art and the buster response :D very cool! I’ve kinda run out of things to say lol and my weeks been packed. here’s a question: What is a standout G1 Episode or Marvel comics moment for you?

#gl

Thank you!

Also, hi, gl, haven't heard from you a bit, don't worry about running out of things to say, because I always figure out something to yap about.

Anyway this one's a bit long, because I have to tell you about something that happened on Twitter with my response to you and tell you about cartoons and comics

Also I would like to tell you that I posted the strawpage gimmick and response on Twitter and my response got over 5000 likes and your strawpage to me got like over 1000 likes and a fanart, and I wanted to let you know that because it's your art and I'm sorry that it went viral I didn't mean that lol if you want me to shout you out I will, but don't feel pressured to break the anonymity

Okay, so back to the question at hand.

Season 1

Episode 7 "Fire in the Sky"

It is good. Fun Jazz bit at the start. I like Skyfire and I really like Starscream in this one. I like how it shows his ambitiousness and how he sees others but how he puts his ambitions first and how he doesn't hesitate to hurt people he cares about for his goals. I think he's an interesting villain and I like it.

I love Episode 8 too. "S.O.S. Dinobots."

It has everything good in there. Wheeljack ans Ratchet's ingenuity. Autobots learning about Earth things, Spike and Bumblebee once again, getting in situations they shouldn't. The stubborn nature of the Dinobots. And of course my favorite bit

"Inhibitor shells... my equilibrium... destabilized... OUGHHHHH!"

"Megatron has FALLEN! I Starscream am now your leader! Decepticons, follow me!"

Season 2

Episode 4 "Attack of the Autobots"

I just like it. I like how all the Autobots care for eachother and are careful not to hurt eachother and I love the Bumblebee and Prime moment at the end. And I love Ratchet and Sparkplug in it too

Episode 16 "The Master Builders"

Optimus playing Basketball. Also Hoist and Grapple are great. I love Grapple. He's so real.

Episode 27 "Make Tracks"

I love Tracks. Him and Raoul play off of eachother so nicely. It's so fun.

Season 2 Episode 30 "The Secret of Omega Supreme"

I love Omega in this and it's a touching episode and I love how Optimus is so compassionate towards him

Episode 34 "Triple Takeover"

So fun! Love Astrotrain and Blitzwing

"Coach! It's a tank! What do I do?"

"Give him the ball!"

Episode 37 "The Search for Alpha Trion"

Establishes a lot. Introduces the Female Autobots. I love them. Elita is such a good leader and I love that it's implied that they managed to survive 4 million years even with so many bots away.

I LOVE THE MOVIE, but the question isn't asking about the movie, is it?

Season 3

Episode 4 "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4"

Rodimus is... so depressed, so done with everything. The bit where he short circuits himself. Get therapy man. Also love the lore drop. I think it's very interesting. I think the Quintessons are interesting.

The next episode, the fifth part of the Five Faces of Darkness Quintology has a quote I like from Rodimus:

"We Transformers have looked into the face of our creators... and seen the face of an enemy."

It's just cool. I could talk about it more but I already talked so much and I haven't got to comics.

Episode 8 "Dark Awakening"

Just messed up. And Rodimus was so willing to give up the Matrix and just... Ough

Episode 28 "The Burden Hardest to Bear"

Rodimus just struggled the entire season didn't he? God. At least Kup's trying to help

Okay, comics now

US Issue 5/UK Issues 22-23 "The New Order"

You know, the one where Shockwave shows up and everyone is dead? That was so cool. A really strong start to the comics. I feel like it really sets it apart from the cartoon.

US Issue 7/UK Issue 26 "Warrior School"

Ratchet and Buster save the day! God I love Ratchet in this, I love him, I'm so normal about him.

UK Issues 42-44 "Crisis of Command"

US Issue 8/UK Issues 27-28 "Repeat Performance"

The Dinobots YAYYYYYY! Also Ratchet is GREAT once again!

I love that the trauma of what happened the Optimus with Shockwave stuck to him. I love that he doubts his command so Prowl tries to come up with solutions that make it worse. I love Bumblebee's self esteem issues. I love it.

US Issue 16/UK Issues 57-58 "Plight of the Bumblebee"

Bumblebee can't catch a break ever.

US Issue 17/ UK Issues 66-67 "The Smelting Pool"

Blaster and Scrounge my beloved...

UK Issues 96-97 "Prey"

Optimus is worried that the Autobots wouldn't make it without him. His solution is stupid.

US Issue 24/UK Issues 105-106 "Afterdeath"

This shook me so much that I had to talk to my mom about it

US Issue 26/UK Issues 109-110 "Funeral for a Friend"

Ratchet, it wasn't your fault you have to listen to me.

UK Issue 132 "Kup's Story"

KUP!

UK Transformers Annual 1987 "Vicious Circle"

I really love how in the comics, the things that happen to the characters stick with them and it can take multiple issues to resolve/never resolve

UK Issues 160-161 "Salvage"

Ultra Magnus and Megatron VS PTSD very cool

UK Issues 166-167 "Legion of the Lost"

This story arc is really cool and interesting and I like the amount of robot body horror in this series. Springer...

UK Issues 168-169 "Meltdown"

Impactor... It's just cool. Read it.

UK Issues 199-205 "Time Wars"

Iconic

US Issue 60/UK Issues 252-254 "Yesterday's Heroes"

Hot Rod is so stupid that Optimus's grief-driven suicide is postponed

US Issue 61/UK Issues 259-261 "The Primal Scream"

What if god was under your feet the whole time? What if while all this death and destruction was happening to you for millions of years, he was there the whole time and he just slept. What if you died twice and you found god and he was asleep and uncaring? Anyway, Bumblebee yells at god.

US Issue 70/UK Issues 309-310 "The Pri¢e of Life!"

OUGH OUGH OUGH OW OW OUGH OW

Anyway sorry that my words on them vary, but those are my favorites overall and I can talk more in depth out of all of them, sorry it took so long

Also these are just some of the ones that stand out to me! There are a lot of good moments that I missed!

I'm not sure what the Royal Grimoire quote has to do with anything. It says there were clans who swore an oath to protect Mondstadt. It says nothing about the Ragnvindr clan existing at that time and being one of those clans

It describes them all as "Prominent famillies in Mondstadt history" aka Ragnvindr family name is around as old as Gunnhildr and Lawerence

No? Being the descendants of a guy who played a key role in the downfall of the aristocracy and continuing to be influential in the 1000 years since then is already enough to be considered prominent, I'd say. They don't also need to have been involved in the first Mondstadt rebellion on top of that to earn that epithet

Why shouldn't he be kin with a guy who looks extremely like him and carries the same ideals?

I didn't say he wasn't. In fact I specifically said that them being related is irrelevant.

And EVEN SO. What in the world would you want us to call him? He is Nameless. So give us an alternative.

No lol. Not my job

I don't work at HoYo, I can't give him a canon name. And I'm not the CEO of Genshin fandom, I can't make everyone agree on one fanon name either. And frankly I don't think that that's a problem. Genshin has A LOT of nameless historical figures, and the vast majority of them don't have fanon names. You want a name to call him by, come up with one yourself

There is a guy called Lawerence at the gates of Mond who seemingly has no relation to the Lawerence clan, so its very possible in Mond to share names. Why can't Ragnvindr and Ragnvindr share names?

This last bit here almost made me just ignore this whole response 'cause it just seems like such an obvious bad faith argument TTOTT but y'know on the 1% chance you're actually being serious with this I'll answer in earnest:

Sure they can. Unless Ragnvindr's parents were just REALLY creative, Ragnvindr likely already existed as a name. There would have been other people named Ragnvindr before him. Perhaps it even dated back to more than 1600 years prior. We don't know the red-haired warrior's name, it could have been anything. That includes Ragnvindr. Sure. But that whole scenario of two guys coincidentally having the same name is not what the original post was about. It was specifically about the use of Ragnvindr as a clan name in an era that predates the use of Ragnvindr as a clan name. This is completely irrelevant to that

Oh my gosh STOP CALLING THE REDHEADED WARRIOR FROM THE REBELLION 2600 YEARS AGO RAGNVINDR. The Ragnvindr clan is called that after a guy named Ragnvindr from Vennessa's time. 1000 YEAR AGO. Even if the redhead warrior from the rebellion against Decarabian was an ancestor of Diluc and Crepus HIS LAST NAME WOULD STILL NOT BE RAGNVINDR, BECAUSE HE PREDATES THAT FAMILY NAME. STOP GIVING HIM THE NAME RAGNVINDR IN YOUR FICS

excerpt from the McLennon discord server

What follows is another conversation from the McLennon server, this one spanning a few days. The conversation started as a result of a twitter thread that one of us found interesting. I don’t think it would be fair to highlight this person so I have excised any links to the Twitter OP, I don’t want to point anyone towards them and give them attention they didn’t want.

In this conversation we discussed some of the negative responses to Paul McCartney’s Here Today, namely the type that complains that he still isn’t being honest enough when he sings it (!?) -- and what, exactly, John Lennon saw in Paul McCartney.

Minimal editing was needed on this conversation so it should be easy to follow.

mynamesbetty — 10/16/2022 Interesting Twitter thread on "Here Today" - OP is of the opinion that even though it's clearly about John (and Paul admits it) it's not as emotionally deep as other songs that are probably about John that Paul hasn't copped to.

Leggy Maddingway — 10/16/2022 it is simple and might come off as superficial but its still abt the fact that Paul wishes he had told John "i love you" to his face and of course there's plenty of baggage attached to that 💔

mynamesbetty — 10/16/2022 And his inability/failure to say it is, of course, just one facet of his relationship with John

I do agree with the songs they list in one of the replies being about John but I'm not going to say that any of them mean more than the others

Leggy Maddingway — 10/16/2022 nodnod big agree

mynamesbetty — 10/16/2022 Especially "Yvonne's the One," it should be officially released so I can cry about it whenever I open Spotify

Leggy Maddingway — 10/16/2022 ;---;

VeggieRavioli — 10/18/2022 I've come back to this thread several times over the past two days, trying to make sense of their POV, and I'm still so perplexed lol

I just can't understand why someone would believe that Here Today lacks emotional depth.

like yes, I definitely agree that it doesn't encapsulate everything about their relationship, that wouldn't be possible with 100 songs, 1000 songs even. And I agree that other songs of his do more to capture the jagged, raw edges of his grief/feelings for John

but in terms of the Here Today "not saying enough" and "not representing what John and Paul have"... well isn't that kinda the point? It's one side of a conversation that Paul never got to have, it was never meant to epitomize their entire relationship. He wrote it because he just wants to talk to him again, and laugh with him again, and tell him just how much he loves him, and go "remember that time when we?" It's a simple song because at its core, what Paul wants is very very simple - he just wants John to be there with him

And that's exactly why he returns to it again and again in concert, instead of Dear Friend or The Lovers That Never Were or any of his other John songs that really rip your heart out to hear, let alone sing - why would he waste precious stage time doing that when it could just be him and his guitar and his John?

namaste — 10/18/2022 Fully agree.

I wonder if there is not a cultural misunderstanding at play too? For someone as utterly reserved in a very English way as Paul, this is him inspecting his own heart on a busy highway with drones filming and an audience clapping. I'm amazed he's even written such a song. It only hints at the depth of what was/is going on with Paul and John.

I do think his occasionally bizarro quotes, typically to assure he is perceived a certain way, have led some commenters to think he can and would wish to expose his most private inner truths. Sex and mariage he's not scared of going TMI on ofc. Love for a fellow man, well this song is a near miracle.

It's like a John lense has been applied to read Paul's lyrics here.

Leggy Maddingway — 10/18/2022 It's someone complaining that Paul is not John, again

It always comes back to the same thing, "we want you to be John Lennon and we'll lowkey resent and insult you for it"

Paul can't be anyone but Paul and he can write songs like this but he cant write like John

Leggy Maddingway — 10/18/2022 In a lot of ways John was the one who solidified the idea that celebrities should be completely open about their lives and then use that "honesty" as a marketing tool. I'm sure other people did it before him but he standardized the idea that celebs should just puke their feelings everywhere. So people who don't, because of reserve/shyness/wanting to keep things private, get the same treatment as the quiet kid in class: "wow she's really stuck up huh."

So you get threads like this where someone who thinks they are being sympathetic to Paul will complain that one of the most honest songs Paul McCart has ever written still isn't honest enough

namaste — 10/18/2022 Right? The madness of he’s not loving John lovingly enough. It’s the best he can do and it’s him showing his heart to millions.

I’m pretty sure John, if he had been here when this song came out, would have a) stuck his head under a blanket for a minute, b) been terrified by its intensity because he would have understood it fully and there’s a lot expressed and implied that would have placed him at some sort of crossroads, and c) gone “How on earth do I deal with that?”

Leggy Maddingway — 10/18/2022 We can criticize Paul and carp about how he wasn't [X] enough but the fact is that we didn't choose Paul so our opinions mean jackshit. John however did choose Paul. And he kept choosing Paul even when he got better offers. He saw something no one else did and found it irreplaceable and probably very charming in its own specific way. (See: how John's temper makes Paul's heart go doki-doki. John is the same way about Paul's weirdness.)

John would appreciate the song quite a bit and done all these things you listed lol. The whole point of Here Today is how uncharacteristic it is of Paul. When taking it in a broader view we realize that it costs Paul immensely to be this open about anything.

It's just wearying. No one in that situation could win. You treat people politely and with respect: "omg you're so two faced!" You actively keep your temper in check and negotiate to get what you want, by getting people what they want too: "you're acting so suspiciously, we don't trust you!" You say "I give up, I don't understand people and I'm too tired to keep trying" and journalists shit their pants, track you down in the ass end of no where, and then call you defending your family and property "a tantrum." You try to keep lines of communication open with your friends who say "are you human?" in a letter that they want published in a magazine. Your ex is murdered by a failson and everyone wishes it was you. When you write a song about your feelings and you try to out words to the emotions that have been clattering your head for years, the Twitterati complain "its not honest enough."

Man, it fucking sucks.

anyway Here Today is perfect no changes

mynamesbetty — 10/18/2022 And I think part of it is the r/iamverysmart line of thought that only complicated things with a lot of moving parts are worthwhile of time and analysis, when in reality simple and direct are often more impactful

Like, Here Today doesn't have multiple layers of references to past John and Paul, a big arrangement, lyrics that need a dictionary and Wikipedia open to understand, because it doesn't need to be that

It can be Paul and his guitar talking to John, like they did for all those years

namaste — 10/18/2022 John would probably be bowled over by this song, touched, and a bit scared. Then he’d post a dig on Twitter to preserve appearances and his brand. Then he’d recuse himself and write another apologetic love song in response at a minimum.

Paul offered predictability in every facet but hid them well. John craved and needed that and everything else to anchor him. The better offer John got we know of was terrifying for it’s constant spirited renewal. It couldn’t work which is a shame. It succeeded in other ways.

I don’t even know really why Paul bothers with social media, but then here’s the thing, he needs attention in a way he can manage so understands he’ll get bs and has a billion buffers social media can augment. And he’ll never have enough of those.

Plus, I suspect there’s a very curious kinky side to his engagement in the dead of night because under the mirage and marriages, he’s the same randy bachelor of yore and he can put his f off stilettos anytime like Ringo did not so long ago.

Paul’s not home reading In Search of Lost Time, he’s in his studio being less digitally illiterate than people think.

Leggy Maddingway — 10/18/2022 please read my ao3 paul

i think Paul is deeply hidden enough that we'll never exactly know what John saw in him but the fact that Paul could tie that ineffable quality of his to stability and some pushiness, made him super attractive. That's part of what makes Here Today so devastating imo. It's not just what it represents, its the context of Paul's other behavior that makes it so impactful....

anyway Paul is actually pretty good at this music stuff who knew

Leggy Maddingway — 10/18/2022 Paul offered John quite a bit, a lot of which we'll never know, some of which we can guess at, and the rest was put on display during and after the Beatles years. IMO Paul showed John that a person could be completely unhinged (Hamburg) but not lose themselves completely -- tho I think John didn't realize how rare Paul's self control was. Finding someone that clicks with your abrasive personality, fulfills you creatively, likes all the things you like, is willing to be nudged out of his comfort zone, and doesn't lose his head when presented with grand visions of wealth and success making him a stable presence in your life is remarkable in of itself. (George and Ritch grew up in even worse poverty than Paul but they bought into what Eppy sold them, purportedly.) All of that would be enough on its own but with Paul I think there was also the intrigue of his dualistic nature and how he's completely at ease with that dualism -- maybe not with all the urges it produces but accepting that he will always be that way. (Ref: that part of The Lyrics where Paul blabs that he thinks everyone is dualistic and can't imagine being any other way therefore everyone else must be too, surely?) For John, who always second guessed himself, this quiet admission of "yes this is what I am even if I don't always like it," would be attractive. "How the hell does he do that?" Admiration and envy.

And to top it all off, Paul loves him. John's flaw was that he couldn't stop himself from testing him but Paul loved him in spite of -- or maybe because of -- that too. Even when John went out of his way to make Paul feel unwanted or unwelcome, a pattern that repeated from Gambier Terrace to past the end of John's life. Even John's own words couldn't make Paul stop loving John.

Leggy Maddingway — 10/18/2022 The creative aspect can't be undercounted either...John was disillusioned with Yoko, she did offer him some positive stuff (encouraging him artistically, giving him enrichment that the others couldn't) but John never clicked with her the way he did with Paul which I think was the driving force behind the outburst where he yelled I WISH I WAS BACK WITH PAUL in front of many important people.

And then there's just ineffable chemistry... Whoever else John met along the way, they weren't that and he realized he couldn't keep starting over with new people. He would always be missing something which is just 💔

Like damn the more I think about it the more incredible Here Today becomes.

Finding the creative partner who also loves you selflessly and is compatible with you is a once in a lifetime thing, the universe almost never offers second chances with that. No wonder Paul is heartbroken.

namaste — 10/18/2022 Perfectly said.

Yes, there is something powerful and exceptional about Paul other than uniqueness the world perceives of him, which John only truly knew, with Mike I suspect, Linda 99.9%. Other than irreducible - even by them - chemistry they retained through thick and thin.

Obviously that core of iron Paul has, someone who could and did stand up to John as you note in your other post. Enraging and demanding of respect. John's nature was by all indications not to hang around after storms and he never really left. He acted up in part possibly in fear of losing Paul for good, hemmed and hawed, feeding through his actions a correlation whether negative or positive.

Interesting quote by Derek Taylor with additional anecdotes to that effect. 1977. I simply do not believe their last meeting was in 1976 (given there is also a credible report which I don't have handy of Paul seeing John before his Bermuda sailing trip). And Paul is very persistent. Another one of those attractive qualities. John doth protest too much as Derek Taylor indicated.

random hanta headcanons

KING of impressions & u can fight me on this

u name it -- shaggy, kermit, JD (heathers,,, who sounds a lot like a certain dusty fella we know,,,), shakira, hades' skelly, owen wilson, mickey mouse, edna mode -- you name it. he's better at doing things around his register tho

likes to come up behind people & start talking to them like a character or respond with a character quote in their voice

is seconds from snapping at any given moment :)) they're the only one w the brain cell aside from katsuki in the bakusquad. sometimes.

absolute enabler to denki & eijirou

WIZARD with a box cutter ???

really good at throwing knives!! he can also do knife tricks >:3c

dating or not, denki & shoto are his closest friends!! he values them a lot 🥺

tries to piss off katsuki (harmlessly) at least once a day

DIE HARD ABBA FAN

single mama! talks to her every day!!! he loves her!!!!

she’s teaches yoga sometimes, which definitely fed a bit into his more bohemian vibes

used to be obsessed with patterned duct tape & was super sad he couldn't make his look like it :((

him & aizawa train together sometimes!! aizawa teaches him moves he uses for his scarf to see if hanta can replicate them

personally i don't hc him as a stoner, it doesn’t make sense to me, but he definitely got a little too excited for brownies his cousin made once & ate a few too many before realizing what they were ✊😔

used to have braces -- those perfect teeth of theirs aren't hereditary, but they take good care of em!!

toru was sad she never got anyone to do staring contests with her, so he suggested she put mina's falsies on and neither of them could stop laughing at how she looked that they forgot what they were doing in the first place

mirror pic king 🥵 def pulls his friends back if they pass by a reflective surface to take a pic!!

okay him. and denki,,, as noel and cody IM SORRY IM SORRY OKAY IM SORRY BUT I HAD TO SAY IT

he gives off maaaaaaajor streamer vibes & likes to fuck around on websites marketed toward younger kids (like dollmaker websites, barbie games, poptropica, u kno). he has a pretty large watcher ratio!!

speaking of, i love @error-thisblogisdead ‘s fanart of podcast!sero and they 1000% have a joint podcast with todoroki that features other kids from class 1a & sometimes 1b. he tries to encourage everyone to be featured on the pod for their Very Own Episode at least once (if they feel comfortable) & it usually revolves around a certain topic they’ve picked

i mentioned it before, but hanta loves true crime. hanta, shoto, momo, and mezo like to watch crime documentaries together, but it usually takes a while because they keep pausing the video to theorize and yell at each other

loves dungeons & dragons & is more than happy to DM for friends if anyone’s interested

eventually, after being pestered by izuku enough, hanta DMs a test oneshot for a few people who end up begging him to run a campaign. these people were izuku (naturally), eijirou, ochako, tsu, yuga, and katsuki (who is actually really good at RP once he loosens up). they’re still working on a schedule, but it’s always on hanta’s floor & it’s very loud. toru, kyoka, and momo like to sit in but don’t play.

everyone else is invited to watch if they want except for: shoto (tsu jokingly asked him to cast “fireball” & sho’s a shithead that almost did it), denki (wants to read the PHB/module books & wont give them up if someone needs it), tenya (backseat driver even tho the man knows Nothing abt d&d), hitoshi (also kinda a backseat driver but more of an enabler toward the party “huh, aoyama could totally use disguise self and p--” “SHUT IT, MINDFREAK”)

likes to try weird foods! so far the weirdest has been “live” tentacles, but he almost choked to death and hasn’t tried since lol

likes going shopping with tsu, mezo, and mashirao bc they’re the “clothes don’t fuckin fit me” squad. tsu can usually find things for herself pretty quick, but is generally just a good vibe to have around

ALWAYS wears fun socks. everyone wants to see which pair they’ve got on that day

did a bit of ballet as a kid, but was mainly into gymnastics!!! his mom got him into it because of the yoga classes she’d bring him to while she taught and he just wanted to see how far he could keep stretching after that!

i also really like the idea of hanta being an aerialist!! that tape technique 👀

i’m pretty sure i saw someone headcanon that he can play the cello, which i absolutely agree with

guitar, too! prefers acoustic

#drug tw #hanta sero #bnha headcanons #mha headcanons #Sero Hanta #hanta headcanons #sero headcanons #sero bnha #mha #bnha #boku no hero headcanons #class 1a headcanons #cellophane

💿Sun 13 Dec ‘20💙

Happy Birthday, Fine Line! Have a Louis show! (Seriously, why can’t I get cool shows for my birthday like that??). So today’s been a busy week, huh?

It is, of course, Fine Line’s anniversary, and the celebration kicked off last night, with a twitter emoji (it's Harrrry! Doing the FL pose so so tiny!) and the DYKWYA website changing. It’s pink and black and blue and white, and now tells us that we’re “loyal” and “marvelous” and “memorable” and “powerful” and “rare” and “real” and “staying six feet apart” (or 70 other lovely options). So either HSHQ got their thesaurus out, or they tuned into Louis’ show last night, because that’s EXACTLY how I would describe it. Anyways, the day started with a Harry sighting! Well, a video from last week that is, of him doing a MakeaWish FaceTime in a blue snapback. And then there was a Harry Lambert interview, where he directly addressed the discourse around Harry’s fashion choices, saying, “Harry will never wear something that he doesn’t want to wear...I always say, 'I‘m not doing my job if I’m making someone wear things' because I just think if someone gets comfortable in what they’re wearing, then it doesn’t matter if I think it looks good.” He went on to say, “There’s never an element of me forcing him to wear anything”. So - TAKE THAT, transphobes! We all recognize that saying “the mean gay man is making Harry look gay/genderqueer” is, uh, a REALLY bad take, right? Anyways, hopefully that’s the end of it, but we all know it won’t be. He also told us that Harry chose the (fake) pearls, asking “can I just wear these every day?” and they were only replaced with real ones after that strand broke, that he tried to get H out of the Vans for the Golden vid but he said nah, and about the Golden and WS videos “I kind of saw it as the same man just in a different place in the world” which, well- yeah? But the implication that that man was not Harry is interesting. Aside from that, we got some more terrible merch from HSHQ (including a shirt that is a glove with legs stuck on it, wtf), a few celebratory tweets from HSHQ, The Forum, Jeff Azoff (there's a theme here lol) etc, AND! A post from Harry himself: “I couldn’t be more grateful for you all continually finding new ways to change my life. Thank you for listening, and for everything else. I love you always, but especially today. H”. What? That’s his name, isn’t it?

But, of course, H wasn’t the only one celebrating online today! Louis came back and answered some of our questions about the show. The first is that he sold over - are you ready for this? - OVER 160,000 tickets for the show, making it the biggest online show of 2020 by a solo male artist, and the third largest overall of the year. Even the Sun had to admit how “exceptional” that is, describing the show as "the equivalent of eight nights at London’s O2 Arena." Doing the math, this means he raised over $3.1 million from ticket sales alone! HOLY SHIT! Hearing that, Louis came on twitter to say (in reply to a quote by his PR company lmao), “This is truly incredible. No major label, no radio, yet here we are. The feeling of support I get from you all every time I do something is unbelievable. Forever Thankful! And they never see us coming!”. Of course, this incited another round of label discourse, wondering if this means he is still an unsigned artist. Does this simply mean the livestream wasn't put on by a label, yes, does Louis absolutely know about the discourse and is he being deliberate, I would also say unmistakeably yes. Which is not to say we know ELSE it might mean -- is he signed to an indie? Still label shopping and waving how much more they need him than vice versa in the hopefuls' faces? Signed but the contract doesn't start until there's a record in play (which when you negotiate your own contract and establish artistic freedom, as we can be very sure was Louis' priority, is what labels DO - they don’t manage every aspect of an artists career)? Signed by a major label, but shading the FUCK out of Syco about radio play for Walls? What we DO know is that it wasn't a label that put the livestream on, and damn if that doesn’t make it 1000% more badass. “Memorable”, “powerful”, and “rare” indeed! He’s still early in the process of LT2, as he told us yesterday, so we might have to wait a little longer to figure out what’s happening business-wise, but he made sure to tell everyone that his fans were an integral part of his processing the most inspiring way possible: “the power and the magic comes from the people you guys,” I COULD CRY that's MY inspirational leader THANK YOU. He goes on to say “don't undermine your role in all this... together with your support we're unstoppable!” He also called us “fucking relentless” (god knows that's true) as Walls hit the charts AGAIN, and talked about how the money raised will go a long way. “WE did that!!”

And with that, let’s talk a little bit more about last night’s (“bold”, “extraordinary”) show! ‘‘Copy’ is making its rounds on the internet, but YouTube continues to take down recordings of the show, which SUCKS, because everyone should be able to see it! Maybe in a few days when some time has passed, they’ll let it go up without an issue, or maybe they'll answer our pleas (come through one more time Louis!) and put out a DVD (and live album too how about, YES? Yes.), til then there are the downloads going around tumblr! Good thing we got Louis' seal of approval or just imagine the discourse. The ‘H’ shirt Louis was wearing last night is a Reebok shirt, which was being distributed in a few different places, such one where you could get a discount if you used the code ‘HL40’ and another where it was $28, lol. Was it the loudest Louis shirt ever- I mean I would say an unqualified NO but many are voting YES and are reeling so that's really fun! Welcome to the gang guys. Not likely to win any awards for being loud with such incredible competition but still very good SBBing-- Louis was wearing a stuffed bear t shirt in rehearsal pics. When you know you know, I guess! ;) The band is also soaking in the praises (as they should!) and have been re-posting fans’ stories on Instagram all day (as did LTHQ) - cheers, boys!

Today’s Liam and Roman alarm was ALL us (well, not allll us, Roman did explain that the alarms would feature fans every Sunday, but then he handed the mic over). “Waking up to Liam and Roman is the best thing EVER! I don’t know why it gives me so much serotonin,” said one fan. I do! It’s because Liam is a real, live puppy dog and he’s so genuinely sweet to his fans. Love him lots, but I love him even MORE when he’s ON the advent alarm!

#harry styles #louis tomlinson #liam payne #wow what a day!#anyways I love these guys lots and lots and it was a gorgeous show!#and also fine line is a gorgeous album ive been streaming it today #anyways!#song of the day!#Wake Up by Julie and the Phantoms cast #let me tell you a secret: my fourth most listened to genre on my spotify wrapped #was showtunes #so what does that say about me??

MLQC Men Headcanon Notes

Now that I’ve spent more time with these men (it’s getting close to 2 years!) I wanted to share the general thoughts, themes, motifs, etc. that I keep in mind when I’m writing their character.

This is 1000% headcanon territory, so feel free to take what’s useful and ignore what’s not LOL but I’d also love to see people add in their own “character reference cheat sheet” to this!

(I’m especially curious because, due to being of Asian diaspora, I write best in English but my understanding of the characters come from CN/JP text). Incidentally, if anyone feels ANY of this when reading my fics, then that’s all I could ever ask for LOL.

LI ZEYAN

He is Capricorn² and, while the game doesn’t make explicit mentions to this, I associate the element earth with him because of this. He’s described with attributes like being steady, calm, and always in control. He is the epitome of an immovable boulder and things revolve around him, not the other way around. I like to draw on imagery of unbending steel and/or the stable ground.

Meanwhile, like the goat of his astrological sign, every step he takes to climb to his goal is assured. He doesn’t do anything spontaneous or without thought, so if he does lose control and act without thinking then it has to be a momentuous occasion. Basically, it’s really important to me that if I write a loss of control, then it’s likely to be the centerpiece.

Keeping in mind that his Evol is time control, I also like to try and subtly weave an atmosphere of how everything happens at his pace. Winter being his season only adds onto this because the world stills when it’s covered in snow; everything becomes muted, hushed, and slowed in this season.

The chemistry in his romance arc is how his pace and control gets disturbed, but he adapts quickly and learns to go along with these moments of whimsy. Or more like that’s his character development and how love changes him.

His canon (spirit) animal is the cat and lion. Felines go along very well with the emperor or noble archetypes he has in all his AU cards, because cats are stereotyped as being independent and haughty animals. He’s not big on PDA or excessive skinship, but he’s not disagreeable to them either. Too much stimulation and, like a cat, he’ll probably show exasperation. Ignore him for too long though and he’ll come to share his presence with you.

For me, his love is shown through quiet acts of service that don’t have any attention drawn to them. Him just being in the same room or giving his attention is how he emotes his love.

He’s quite low-key in his normal life so he doesn’t seem like someone who gets confused over commoner things, but there are also moments where he spends an enormous amount of money without blinking. If life can be made easier with money then why not, right?

Keywords: Calm. Steady. Earth. Immovable. Control. Exasperated Affection. Time. Cats. Literal Capricorn. Winter. Mature.

ZHOU QILUO

First thing that comes to mind is the sun and heat. Fire is his element and so I go for stereotypical imagery like flares of passion and burning bright. He switches expressions and moods at the drop of a hat and he’s a mood maker to the extreme, but there’s no hiding the way he shines with his love for his love.

However, because he’s also Helios, it’s really important for me to play around with dualities and explore the other side of this positive imagery. So, just like how the sun can bring warmth and life, it’s also a deadly laser something that can hurt people by blinding them or setting fires. It’s also fun to remember that the moon only has light from the sun’s reflection.

Game-wise, I believe Helios has been described with cold and ice imagery but, because I try to keep that imagery for Li Zeyan, what I like to consider instead is that extremely cold things can “burn” you too. Frostbite can also be called ice burn.

The sky is repeated imagery for Luoluo too, because of his eyes, but I’ll admit I’m still uncertain about how to interpret this for his character. Generally, the sky represents freedom but...? How I approach this is that the sky doesn’t discriminate and protects everyone below it (echoing his quote about how he protects the light in the dark).

On this note about the sky being welcoming, I view Luoluo’s love as one that accepts his love no matter what they’re like and he grows together with them (unlike the two adults, Li Zeyan and Xu Mo).

However, again, it’s super important to remember his duality and just because he’s a playful mood maker doesn’t mean he’s not able to switch into a serious and mature mode. He keeps his innocence and warm heart despite the darkness he’s seen and understands.

His canon animal is the bear which also makes me tilt my head. I can only see this as how bears are seen as both cuddly and cute, but also fierce and protective. He was also given a stag but... no one uses that LOL.

Keywords: Fire. Passion. Playful. Innocent. Little Sun! But Moon. Spring. Sacrifice. Darkness. Sky. Mischievous. Mood Maker.

BAI QI

Every single cell in his body is attuned to his love. You ever lose your phone and then, for the rest of the day, you feel as if you’re missing an important piece of yourself and you have intrusive thoughts wondering where it is? That’s him. You ever see something so cute you experience cute aggression and don’t know what to do with yourself? That’s him. You know those dogs that strain at their leashes on the streets because they want to go and greet you? That’s him.

It’s all about the yearning.

I know, I know, I wrote essays about how he can survive without his love and how he’s someone who carries both love and a greater justice BUT let’s not kid ourselves that he doesn’t revolve around his love like Jupiter around the sun.

Anyway, so the game shoves wind descriptions down our throats. It’s literally another vehicle for him to emote his love and, to be honest, I don’t do much with it other than use it for that. I talked about it extensively in my character essays, but I suppose I play with the irony of how he’s only free because he has a home can return to. [Loneliness SR Wind and Care Call] “Because I have a place for my heart, I can fly anywhere.”

I don’t believe the game emphasizes this any more than it does with the other men, but I try to always have a point of contact between Bai Qi and his love because, again, the yearning and vibrating with All That Love. He’s such a physical character (military archetype) that I also want to emphasize that in writing.

In addition, I’m all about him being the most feral of the men. Heck, his canon animal is the wolf which is great for both its stereotypical and non-stereotypical meanings, such as being a lone wolf and ferocious animal but also a pack animal that can’t survive on its own and needs a pack. Meanwhile, NW717 is described in-game as a monster.

Look, one of his signature descriptions in the game is resting his chin on or against his love’s head and nuzzling them. I’m not baselessly trying to push my kink I swear.

So, like how Bai Qi said in [Light Bath SSR: Tenderness Call] that maybe he only shows his gentleness towards select people (his love and mother), he’ll give the person he loves all the warmth of his being but, oh boy, I see him as being a beast who will remember his true nature upon being chained; the “chain” of love gives him the reassurance he needs to be truly free... in all its meanings.

Keywords: Ginkgo. Summer. Primal. Wind. Love is love is love. 3-Point Contact. Wolf. Yearning. Vitality. Justice. Freedom. Physical. Restraint.

XU MO

First, given how vocal I am about Elex’s changes, this is probably going to be the most drastically different section out of everyone vs. their English version.

Soft. Light. Gentle. Kind. Gossamery. Feathery. Ethereal. Faint. Whenever I write him, do I literally open up a thesaurus to find synonyms for gentle, light, and soft? Yup! LOL.

Fun fact, in CN and JP the word for “smile” and “laugh” is the same character and so sometimes there is ambiguity when translating if there’s no clear markers. The writers definitely had a word in mind when they wrote the scene, but unfortunately we don’t have the ability to check with them at every use and so sometimes it does come to subjective interpretation.

For me, Xu Mo is characterized by a lot of quietness. Game-wise, there are enormous usages of silence and descriptions of emotional fluctuations in his eyes so Significant Silences and Looks are a major thing with him and in my writing for him, which is why I always choose “smile” over “laugh” if there is any ambiguity in the line (I believe Elex leans towards chuckles).

On a similar note, the game also gives him a gigantic serving of descriptions that only ever use the word for “light, slight, faint, soft, gentle” in JP and CN. It gives him a very floaty and dreamy feeling, even if he’s doing something physical. So, it’s important for me to keep a similar atmosphere when writing and make everything feel as if it has to be shared in a whisper.

A bonus here is that it doesn’t require much to turn this ethereal feeling into a melancholic one, so you get that dash of angst that layers over everything. Leave a few things unknown here and there, incomplete actions, eyes that get averted and Boom. Angst.

Shifting gears, but if my imagery of Bai Qi’s love is like a tense, vibrating, and restrained chain of yearning then Xu Mo’s love is like a flood barely being held back by a dam. Knowledge of the quantity and weight behind the dam is terrifying, but it’s safe to be submerged inside it. Much like Luoluo and Helios, Xu Mo also has a dangerous duality in Ares and so I also like to play with this imagery.

So, on this point, I like to preserve an underlying sense of darkness (all-consuming possessiveness, etc.) and envision that he also wishes to stain his love in his colors, like a drop of ink on white paper and how it seeps into every fiber of the paper until the whole thing is saturated with him.

Incidentally, I’m reminded that—whenever possible and natural—I want to exclusively use water imagery with Xu Mo. The game supports this too! He is described with extensive water imagery and so I try to use water metaphors, analogies, and similes.

I try to make sure every sense is present, but I feel like the game emphasizes (especially with the red thread of fate imagery) that Xu Mo and his love are connected at a soul-deep level and so I always keep in mind a mental, emotional, and spiritual aspect.

Lastly, his canon animal is the fox (we ignore the black goat LOL) so contrasting his elegant, scholarly, and gentleman’s air with a black belly, teasing, and mischievous air is also important! Sexual but with, you know, class.

Keywords: Butterflies. Monochrome. Artist. Red Thread. Autumn. Melancholy. Water. Soft. Gentle. Light. Faint. Dreams. Spiritual. Fox.

LING XIAO

I’m getting more comfortable with him, but he’s still shrouded in so much mystery. If every one of the other men treat their loves with gentleness though Ling Xiao is definitely one who isn’t afraid of roughhousing. He’ll act first and then ask for forgiveness afterward, if needed.

But I like to keep in mind that, for all his roughness, he’s still a good kid at heart and when he saw MC’s skirt rising up when he tried to pull her over the fence he immediately stopped. So, a bit of a bully but without any humiliation.

Intelligent, strong, and dangerous but hiding all of that beneath a devil-may-care attitude and someone who does things on a whim. I don’t know what to do much with his canon animal being the shark except to attach it vaguely to this point and think that, as an apex predator of the sea, it does things at its own pace (somehow, it gives me the image that he likes to bite... but, uh, that’s probably just me LOL).

Keywords: Mercurial. Lightning. Sarcasm. Physical.

ASH CONGRATS ON 1K!!!! you deserve every one and more :)

could i get all the emojis pls? and for the fic rec hmmmmm hurt comfort maybe hehe

ILY you absolute talented rockstar

m!!! you’re such a sweetheart ily SO much 🥰♥️

🔭: I’ll recommend a fic (more like fics lol) to you:

first off bestie i’ll have you know that for a second i was like ‘ooh i’ll tell her to read a not-so-good day I love that one’! then i realized I can’t do that bc you’re the one that wrote it lmfao- so if anyone else happens to read this i highly recommend this fic by m!! it’s one of my favorites 💛

contact comfort by @there-must-be-a-lock this fic is the epitome of hurt comfort it’s SO GOOD: reading it feels like someone wrapping you in a blanket on a tough day- it’s so soft and perfectly in character and just !!! I can’t recommend it enough 💜

i’m okay by @reidspurple gosh this fic!! it’s absolutely stunning and reading this tugged at my heartstrings in the best way: from the reader being worried about spencer to him comforting her and ensuring he was okay i was a puddle of tears the whole time 💕

my silent screams, our wildest dreams by @samuel-de-champagne-problems i LOVE this fic so much! the format is absolutely stunning: from the list of things the reader knows for sure to the journey of finding out/sharing the news i was 1000% silently screaming the entire time I read it ♥️

📚: i’ll post a line from a wip:

He was four the first time he felt it. The feeling of never quite belonging.

The kids next door would play with him when their mom was looking and turn their back on him the second she walked away.

His dad would yell ‘great try, kid!’ whenever a baseball was hit in his direction and he missed, but the second he thought Spencer wasn’t looking he’d roll his eyes.

Too smart for the kids section at the library, not smart enough for the adult one. Too mature for kids to like him, not mature enough for adults to take him seriously.

He was used to it, a life of never fitting in.

But then he met you- and suddenly everything changed.

🔎: i’ll give you a quote or poem that reminds me of you: “I hope you are blessed with a heart like a wildflower. Strong enough to rise again after being trampled upon, tough enough to weather the worst of the summer storms, and able to grow and flourish even in the most broken places.” -Nikita Gill

💫: i’ll make you a short playlist: okay bestie since my brain always associates you with travel here are some of my faves from my travel playlist!

Wild Heart: Bleachers

Paris: The 1975

Blackbird: The Beatles

Coastline: Hollow Coves

Wildflowers: Tom Petty

🧠: a random fact from my spence factoids doc: The first road trip from San Francisco to New York City cost $8,000 and took 63 days to complete in 1903.

Headcanons for Jakurai, saburo and Rosho with a s/o who has a thirst for knowledge (they mostly study obscure subjects) and can pull up almost any sort of information/facts from the top of their head? Almost like a walking encyclopedia lol

━━ ∘◦ ☆ ◦∘ ━━

Pairing: Saburo Yamada x reader; Jakurai Jinguji x Reader; Rosho Tsutsujimori x reader

Genre: Fluff

Warnings: None

A/N: This one was cute! I wish I was intelligent enough to remember things haha Enjoy~

⋘ ──── ∗ ⋅◈⋅ ∗ ──── ⋙

Saburo Yamada:

Saburo is going to be so impressed by your extensive knowledge

as a kindred spirit and someone who is also pretty book-smart, Saburo will understand your quest for knowledge and will support it

he thinks you’re one of the smartest people he’s ever met and loves that you can pull out facts about anything

but also, he’s too proud to tell this to your face because he doesn’t want to admit that you’re smarter than him

he’s still just a child, he’ll grow out of this phase eventually

whenever the two of you are on study dates and you know all of the answers to the textbook off the top of your head, Saburo literally feels himself falling more and more in love with you

while he finds his own love for knowledge something that’s nerdy and weird, he finds yours to be something cool and attractive

honestly he’s a little jealous that you make intelligence look so cool

you both enjoy going to museums and Saburo is just in awe of your knowledge the entire time

neither of you even have to read the plaques on the walls because you already know everything about the exhibits

whenever you give him a little tidbit about information, it makes him get a little flustered and he’ll turn pink because he’ll think it’s just so cool that you know things like that

and he’s so happy to be dating someone that always has something fascinating to add

but again, he doesn’t want to come off any which way, so he’ll just cough and shrug it off

but on the inside though, this boy is freaking out and his heart is going 1000 miles (km) a minute

“Wait, really? Whales can be - uh, I mean...that’s cool...whatever”

“Saburo? Are you okay? Why are you turning red?”

overall, he loves that you know so many facts about so many different things and will always want to test you knowledge

despite the fact that he’s never once found a topic that you know nothing about

Jakurai Jinguji:

Jakurai thinks it’s exceptional how learned you are on so many different topics

as someone that has spent years in medical studies, Jakurai not only appreciates your excitement to learn and retain knowledge, but also your ability for applying it in any situation

he believes that knowledge can be very powerful, so having an s/o that’s like-minded will make him very happy

whether it’s something as mundane as shopping or something as intense as a date night, Jakurai loves hearing you drop little factoids

he once told you that your fondness for knowledge “keeps his brain young” and you couldn’t stop laughing at that

the more obscure the topic, the more interesting Jakurai finds it

we already know that he has a penchant for interesting, unique things, so hearing you go on about a strange species of fungus or the history of chapstick makes him fascinated

“I’m sorry, Jakurai, am I rambling again?”

“Darling, I could listen to you ramble for hours. Please continue"

He isn’t ashamed to admit that he loves listening to you talk about your passions, and he always encourages you to tell him the most recent interesting fact you learned

as a whole, Jakurai quite literally finds your vast knowledge sexy and if you talk long enough, it’s going to put him in the mood

what can I say? the man gets turned on by intelligence and honestly, who can blame him?

Jakurai sometimes writes medical papers and will ask you for random facts when he does, wanting to see how much you know about any given topic and if there’s anything you say that can strike him as a good topic to dive into for the paper

when he ultimately gets published in medical journals, he always makes sure to credit you in them as well

overall, he’s going to love your intelligence and your mind will definitely be one of his favorite parts of you

Rosho Tsutsujimori:

Rosho thinks your ability to pull any information at the drop of a hat is incredibly attractive and impressive

as a teacher, Rosho has always preached and believed in the idea of ‘continuing education’ but you take it to a whole new level

at first, he was a little intimidated by your knowledge and he felt somewhat lacking because he was in the field of education and yet he didn’t know half of the things that you did

however, after a while, he came to love your intelligence and your mind

and he understands that knowledge is your passion, not something that you use to lord over people

once the two of you start dating, he’ll constantly be asking you about different topics

whenever there’s a change in the curriculum for his class, or whenever he wants to lecture on something new, he’ll run it by you first

“I’m thinking about discussing this during lecture tomorrow, Y/N, what do you think?”

“Maybe you should wait a while before using this topic because there’s actually a lot of discrepancy surrounding the legality of...”

he loves having discussions with you and most date nights usually end up in the two of you having deep conversations about many different topics

one time you two got kicked out of a restaurant at closing time because Rosho got lost in hearing you talk about the different types of buttons used in 15th century French clothing

there are many times where he’ll feel burnt out from work or stress, and that’s when he loves hearing you talk about obscure things

it helps him re-gain his love for learning and makes it easier for him to dive back into his books and his work

one time you were talking about a topic and he actually ended up using it for his lecture the next day at school and quoted you in it

his class thought this was the cutest thing ever

overall, Rosho is going to find your thirst for knowledge refreshing and helpful to many of his own endeavors as well

alright, Olive, I'm back with a weird question. (but first of all, I hope you're doing good! how awfully rude of me to not start my ask by that) because you're so good at psychoanalyzing people (and I adore your rambling thoughts), I was wondering if you could maybe help me? I've always wondered who my godly parent would be in the PJO universe - it's been the biggest mistery in my life since I was 8. I just haven't found myself in any figure of the Olympus, maybe because I'd be the child of a minor deity? I've thought about Apollo, and I genuinely like it, but idk, maybe I need a more thorough analysis. I've also gotten Iris and Hemera from other people? I just think your piercing mind could see right through me. anyway, this is weird lol, I hope you don't mind me asking this! and don't worry if you can't answer, it's totally fine. 💜

asdfgfddfgfd, when i get my two weeks off for summer break, i should just do placements for inquiring mutuals because honestly it's one of my favorite things,,,

also, before i get into it (because i have some thoughts™), i'm going to plug one quotev quiz that i think is better than the rest when it comes to these matters: this godly parent quiz.

now, clara, i am not nearly as versed in pjo cabin placements as i am in hogwarts houses, but i'm going to give this my best shot:

first, i think i would be remiss not to mention that you are a libra, and libra is associated with themis, (idk really what that means since i'm not into astrology, lol), but themis isn't mentioned as one of the gods with a cabin, so i'm disregarding that. if we are following this logic though, i think that aphrodite is also associated with libra, so perhaps you could fit into that cabin? personally, i don't see it as strongly as i see others, but you do have a hopeless romantic streak, and a strong sense of community, which could sway you in that direction.

as for apollo, i'm going to unpack that for a minute, because it's very interesting that you'd place yourself there, and i'm on the fence with that myself, lol. (this is very stream of consciousness, so let's see where this section takes us)

i definitely see the association with the arts - music and poetry - although in my mind apollo has always been the performer, and less of the creator. i always associated the muses more with the creation stages of music and poetry. like... the muses are the fashion designers and apollo is the model going down the runway. or the muses are the writers and collaborators in the writers room and apollo is the actor or director. so, while i see the association, i think it's a little weak, because you strike me as more of the quiet artist who's behind the scenes, rather than the bard singing in the pub, trying to get coins. but, you know yourself better, so maybe it's a good association.

and after that, what always strikes me about apollo is the volatile contradictions of his personality. i mean, he's associated with the sudden death of children (rightfully so, i mean he slaughtered all of niobe's sons), along with his sister, artemis, but he's also a healer. he's like that "i'm a healer, but..." meme, which is funny as hell but also a little concerning. like, in many stories he is that godly sort of intelligent strength, but also he's really volatile and has quite a temper on him. i don't really think this relates a whole lot to you, because i get the vibes that you are generally mild mannered, but when something pisses you off, you let is really simmer. i feel like you aren't one to fly off the handle - if you do, it's probably been stewing within you for a while, and whoever your anger is directed at really knows that you're upset, and they knowingly pushed you to that place. i feel like you're more of a grudge holder than hot-tempered (but girl, same).

and then, of course, we have apollo's prophecies. now, maybe this is me reading too much into your scientific mind, but i think you are concerned with the future, but also don't think too much of it is predetermined. i feel like you are more of a trailblazer than that, and might just be prone to ignoring or actively working against anything you saw in the stars, asdfghgfsdfggfdsdfggfd

oh, and, apollo just has so many unfortunate romances, and on one hand, i have you quoted that you are more of an eponine than a cosette, but also, no hate to apollo and his tragic affairs, but he's openly mocked eros, and that truly gives off the vibes of working off of one (1) braincell, and you are too good for that, clara.

and just going back to personality, i think you have a lot of flexibility that just doesn't fit with the apollo cabin.

tldr; kinda but no?

now, i'm gonna kinda hop back into possible theories.

one of my gut reactions was the say athena, but after thinking about it, i'm still a little unconvinced. you have the intellect and pride for this cabin, and i feel like you would get roped into helping a lot of heroes like athena, but you also just have a charm to you that athena lacks. part of athena is that she's unapproachable and her pride is excessive. you, again, are too flexible to be athena. she's staunch where you are willing, and i feel like the rigidity of her nature is too constricting for you. it's very similar as to why i didn't place you in ravenclaw.

i also considered nike because of your competitive streak, but this placement kind of takes away from the underdog vibes i get from you. the righteous fury... the glee in the moment... it's definitely there, but i feel like there's a level of unsurety to your psyche that you don't really get with nike.

which leads me to my final analysis, where i think you would do well as a child of tyche.

let me go through this. so, i mentioned your competitive streak with nike, and that is 1000% evident in tyche. tyche is all about luck and fortune, and i feel like competition is a shoe in. children of tyche like to dabble with the unknown or the novel - it makes life interesting. they like to go against another and see where the cards fall, and if lady luck isn't on their side.... well, tonight's just not their night. they have a secure base to fall back on, and that allows them to stretch their wings and fly.

furthermore, with nike, victory is expected and guaranteed. luck is far more fluid and unpredictable - it's harder to pin down. you can have a lot of luck and a lot of things working in your favor, but still, the desired end result isn't set in stone - it's likely to happen, but there's always risk. this risk leaves for an air of quiet self-assuredness that isn't overbearing. there's always uncertainty in the mix, and that leads to less overt confidence. it also adds to the thrill (or the anxiety).

plus, i think that the gap between fortune and certainty (a pitfall of risk) leads to a lot of checks and balances that i really see in you. there's a lot of clear headed logic that gets weighed against ambition and desire, and it makes for a kind of pragmatism that doesn't stomp out dreams, just looks at them realistically.

which means i feel like a lot of people ask you for advice, clara. it also makes you a decision maker for sure. you might falter for a moment, but in the end, you make a choice and you live with it.

also, i have a personal headcanon that children of tyche are really well rounded, which harks back to my gryffindor analysis of you, where i mention that you have many tools in your box. you are able to manipulate many different things, and you can look at them from many angles, and i love that for you.

i also think this is a good placement for you because luck is all about what-ifs. it's about actively manipulating the world around you. like i said when i mentioned apollo's prophecies - i don't think that you do very well with the predetermined. some things, certainly, but one (1) you are too stubborn to believe you can't change things (oh, the contradictions of a gryffindor and child of tyche), and there's also a level of desperation that things won't always be like this. luck can come to anyone in any place. this is definitely tied to your bleeding heart - you care for people who have fallen on hard times, and you can't help but pray that it's only temporary.

oh, and i headcanon that tyche holds grudges sO BAD. she is only outdone by nemesis and hades.

anyway, this was long and it winded, but TLDR; i hereby herald you a child of tyche. you are my lady luck, clara.

#asks #mutuals #lol i need to get a tag like:#olive psychoanalyzes friends #anyway i hope you like this! i feel like i kind of raked apollo through the coals asdfghjhgfdfghjhgfd #but lISTEN you don't get to be one of the big name gods without being messy as hell #but lol now i feel like i need to re- assess my status as a child of hecate because i didn't go this in depth for mYSELF
