#i have a lot of thoughts about this au i need to do more with it

[writingastory]

Xavier:🍋-Alphabet

Warnings: Explicit (obviously lul), written for fem!reader

Genre: Canon AU; MC (including storylines) is non-existent.

A/N: Time to bring this classic back. 😏

A = Aftercare

🌟 Xavier is such a sweet soul. Before Aftercare even becomes a thought, he just wants to bask in Afterglow: steal soft kisses from your lips, plant the sweetest kisses everywhere his mouth can reach, pressing himself to you as close as he can (without suffocating you).

🌟 He just needs a few moments of snuggling like this, with him still inside you, until he's naturally slipping out ever so slowly.

🌟 Once that happened, he will ask you what you need and bring it to you. Something to clean yourself, a shirt, a nightgown, a snack, a beverage - you name it, he'll make it happen for you.

-

B = Body part

🌟 I feel like Xavier would be obsessed with your hands. They are so small and soft in comparison to his.

🌟 Remember the Nightly Rendevouz? When he held your hand so gently against the window? Yeah, he loves your hands.

🌟 Definitely making sure that your fingers stay entwined from the beginning to the end. He doesn't want to lose that connection, under no circumstances.

-

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

🌟 He loves to creampie you.

🌟 More specifically, he loves cumming deep inside you - and then watch his seed trickle out of you slowly.

🌟 Please don't be shy to spread your legs for him and let him watch.

🌟 Bonus points if you let him rub you to another high and he gets to watch your sweet pussy flutter and clench, pumping out his cum.

-

D = Dirty secret

🌟 Actually, this man doesn't really have a classic dirty secret. You basically know everything.

🌟 Except maybe that he thinks about letting you dom him completely for once. He's not quite sure yet how to articulate that wish, but he'll get there.

🌟 Please just bind this man to the bed and wear him out, okay? He needs it every now and then.

-

E = Experience

🌟 Not the most experieced, but!

🌟 This man is always very atuned to his loved ones, especially to the woman of his heart. So, he really doesn't need a lot of experience to know what he's doing. He sees and feels your reactions. Xavier quickly understands what you like and what you don't like.

-

F = Favorite position

🌟 It's either Flatiron or Missionary.

🌟 Either way, it's gonna be a very close variation. He craves close skin-to-skin contact.

-

G = Goofy

🌟 Unintentionally goofy sometimes. Just like he is in real life.

🌟 And that's also kinda the reason: This man has no separate personality for intimacy and sex. You get the same Xavier between the sheets that you get for grocery shopping on a Saturday morning.

🌟 So sometimes, even if he doesn't mean to, he's a little goofy while he's pressing inside of you.

-

H = Hair

🌟 Probably doesn't have the wildest hair growth anyway.

🌟 Still, he makes sure it's all neat. Doesn't shave clean though.

🌟 Also doesn't expect you to follow any "routine" for your body hair. You like removing your hair? Okay, sweet. You don't like removing your hair? Okay, sweet.

-

I = Intimacy

🌟 He's so focused on satisfying you....

🌟 Seriously, if there's a time he does not think of sleeping... it's this.

🌟 He's so sweet, too. Whispering soft words, greedy for kisses and for touching you...

🌟 He's a very soft dominant man. Yes, he likes calling the shots in bed - but he does so very gently. You're a treasure and you're ought to be treated as such.

🌟 Only exceptions are when you explicitely tell him to be rougher... or when he's jealous. That's another story, though.

-

J = Jack off

🌟 Not a fan, honestly. Not even before you two became a thing.

🌟 His thoughts may have derailed every now and then, but never to a point where he had to relief himself in some way.

🌟 Even less since you two became a couple. Why would he use his hands when yours are so much more talented...?

-

K = Kink

🌟 Voyeurism.

🌟 Need I say more?

🌟 Check "C" in this post. 😭

🌟 He totally would have you touch yourself while he watches, just saying.

-

L = Location

🌟 Everywhere it happens. Except in public. He's not a fan of public sex. That would always be an unpleasant thrill, and he'd have to rush... and he doesn't want that.

🌟 His favorite would be the bed though. Mainly because he can just snooze off once you're both satisfied.

-

M = Motivation

🌟 Huge on physical motivation.

🌟 Yes, seeing you in cute or sexy lingerie is awesome... but if you want to get him going, you need to get physical with him.

🌟 Scratch his scalp gently, kiss his neck, nibble on his collarbone - or just boldy squeeze him through his pants. He'll be mush and putty in your hands.

-

N = No

🌟 He will not do anything that hurts you.

🌟 He'd probably not even choke you, even if you asked him.

🌟 Harming you is not on his agenda.

-

O = Oral

🌟 Loves giving and receiving equally.

🌟 He would not want to finish like this, though. He'd much rather finish deep inside of your perfect pussy. But he loves when you get on your knees for him.

🌟 On the other hand, he loves burying his head between your thighs. This man will take his sweet time with you, spread you open gently and lap at your entrance and your sensitive pearl carefully. He revels in the quivers he feels around his tongue.

🌟 Please pull his hair when he goes down on you, it'll make him moan against you. :)

-

P = Pace

🌟 Depends on his mood. If it's a good day, he will take his time. It'll be sensual, passionate, a slow build up to the crashing waves of your orgasms.

🌟 If it's a bad day (or you riled him up, you bad girl), he's gonna be a lot more demanding and fast. He'll pound into you with more vigor and purpose.

🌟 Same happens when you ask him to be a little rougher with you. No matter the occasion: if he happens to fuck you a little harder and faster than usual, he'll make sure to press you down, so that you have no other choice than to take what he gives you.

-

Q = Quickie

🌟 Loves shower quickies. I don't make the rules.

🌟 If his morning shower contains washing your hair and filling you up... who is he to complain?

-

R = Risk

🌟 The riskiest thing during sex this man will do... is to try out new positions.

🌟 He's not a huge fan of taking risks. He wants intimacy to be enjoyable and not nerve-wrecking.

-

S = Stamina

🌟 Lots of Stamina on this one, he's fit as hell.

🌟 Still, he can only go one round - but that round will be worth it. Don't worry, he'll make you finish several times before he even thinks of finishing himself.

🌟 When he finishes, it's like a switch was flipped in his brain. He's satisfied, he doesn't need more than one round.

🌟 That's also why he makes sure you're thoroughly satisfied before him. He knows that once he's done, he can't go on any longer - so he takes care of you first.

-

T = Toys

🌟 No.

🌟 Would probably be confused by a lot of them?

🌟 Also, why would you need those? You have him? 🤨

-

U = Unfair

🌟 Unintentionally unfair and teasing.

🌟 He's rubbing you so good and you're close? He'd pull away, confused why you're annoyed suddenly? He was just repositioning himself to eat you out. He knows you prefer finishing on his tongue, so why the long face...?

🌟 Also, this man says the lewdest things with the straightest face. "This is welcoming me back so warmly. Can you feel it?" he'd whisper, not understanding why you're embarrassed? He was just stating a fact? :(

-

V = Volume

🌟 Noisy, but not loud.

🌟 Definitely a breather and groaner, not necessarily a moaner.

🌟 He'll make sure to breathe and groan right into your ear though, so you can hear him, no worries.

-

W = Wild card

🌟 Xavier is so obsessed with your body, but in a non-sexual way. He could spend hours just tracing your form with his fingers, finding all the little imperfections that make you you - and he'd love it.

🌟 So, don't be surprised that you find him watching you getting dressed or undressed or taking a shower. He's not trying to be creepy. He's just in awe of your beauty.

-

X = X-ray

🌟 5 inches / 12.7 cm

🌟 Pretty straight, and girthier towards the base. A few veins here and there.

🌟 His tip is slightly pink.

-

Y = Yearning

🌟 Surprisingly high. This man could go at any time during the day.

🌟 After your first time of making love, you did it daily - sometimes several times a day - because he simply could not keep his hands to himself.

🌟 You two are still very active, but mostly during "set" times and not just at any time during the day.

-

Z = Zzz...

🌟 Okay, we know this man can sleep anywhere, anytime. After sex is no exception. Once you're both clean and comfy, snuggled up under the blankets... he's out. Just like that.

🌟 He'll wrap himself around you btw, so there's no escape. You're sleeping, too. :)

Any little tidbits from Molten!Dreams you’re willing to share?

Sure! Let’s talk about Molten!Dream’s Dreamtale. Long Post Incoming!!

The village and the Great Tree (the Tree of Emotion, but I’m calling it the Great Tree here because I think it sounds better) were surrounded by a vast old growth forest. In summer, the climate surrounding the Great Tree was dry and hot. In winter, it was wet, rainy and chilly, but snow was incredibly rare. It was not unheard of for forest fires to happen here.

Prior to the Apple Incident Molt and Rem never went so far that they couldn’t see the Great Tree. To them, the extent of Dreamtale is/was a massive, endless forest. If the forest had an outer boundary, they never saw it, only heard "unbelievable" tales of it from traveling merchants who insisted their world had an end to it. crazy talk. (and then Nightmare/Rem started reading. turns out, those merchants were telling the truth! it still felt an outlandish tall tale, but perhaps a little more believable outlandish tall tale.)

There were some aspects of the original Dreamtale that I don’t particularly care about; Neil the Cat, may or may not exist in the Molten!Dreams Timeline, if he does exist, he missed his chance to mentor, watch over or influence Dream in anyway (fate adverted!) because the brothers fled in the immediate aftermath. (more on this later. i want to make a comic about it.) The Tree of Life, the Tree of Magic and by extension, Lanny and Quetzalcoatl, aren’t relevant to Moltendreams, so I don’t seen them existing within Moltendreams’ canon. I think their involvement would be... whats the word? It doesn't make sense to my brain. They don't fit.

At some point I plan to revise Reapertale to better fit Moltendream’s multiverse. I say this now because I rather lean into Reapertale than use the Tree of Life. (the Tree of Magic feels a bit redundant on this note. why do we need a Tree of Magic when we have Creators? or even Ink, in some case. in Molten Dreams, Ink is a Muse of Creation rather than a being that actively creates AUs but my point still stands. etc. etc.)

The Apple incident was preceded by a string of misfortune.

The village was struck by a drought the previous winter. And the following spring and summer were unusually hot. Crops withered under the blistering sun. Food reserves plummeted. Wells dried up. Things got tense.

Despite the drought and the fires, the Great Tree was unaffected. While trees in the surrounding forest and in the village turned brown, the Great Tree was green. It bloomed flowers in spring while whole fields struggled to sprout. And when crops failed to produce anything that summer, the apples of the Great Tree were plump and ripe. The contrast between the immortality of the Great Tree and the fragility of life within the village, seeded resentment and bitterness...

Tensions between Dream and Nightmare, and the villagers, grew as a result of it. But that is neither the end nor the beginning of that story.

On the Village itself:

You’ll have to excuse the sketchiness, I haven’t drawn in a while, I’ve spent the last month and half trying to pick up my tablet only for my brain to tell me I’m apparently allergic to it. is the floor lava? noooo my TABLET IS LAVA!!! Any-who, moving on!

Notes:

Local architecture uses geometric shapes with lots of sharp angles and straight lines.

Windows are tall and narrow. No glass is used.

General construction materials will typically include stone, clay, hardened mud, and stucco. Wood is used sparingly.

Originally I played with the idea of the villagers using thatch for their roofs but on second thought, decided that idea didn’t fit the aesthetic.

i have tentative plans for the monsters who lived in the village to thematically follow mythology from the same regions I'm taking inspiration from for the architecture.

real world inspiration takes a lot from ancient Armenian, Roman and Mesopotamian architecture. Unfortunately, i am bad at drawing buildings and actively avoid it, but in the future i want to lean into this more. at least visually.

Gideon headcanons because we need more of them I think‼️

-Born on July 9th, 2002 (this kid is older than me wtf)

-Rainbow baby, idk why but it just makes sense to me.

-He has BPD and OCD because I say so (l'm projecting)

-He becomes a correctional psychologist when he's older. He's been in the prison system and he's seen what it does to other people, he genuinely wants to help and he's better at listening to people when he's older.

-Volunteers at an animal shelter post weirdmageddon.

-Tries to reconnect with his parents post weirdmageddon. He eventually connects really well with his mom, but his relationship with his dad is always a bit weird and awkward.

-Briefly thought about becoming a vampire so he doesn't have to grow out of the cute kid thing, decided against it because the town was dumb, but not that dumb. 

-His dad tried to fix his corrupting soul/anger issues using the memory gun, and it backfired horribly by blocking out most of his memories with his parents.  (Also I should note that he does have a memory tube thing in the graphic novel and I think more people should know about it)

-In a pokemon au he would have a Woobat fight me. (Pale blue, psychic, no neck, ect)

-Befriends Pacifica post weirdmageddon. It kinda starts out as them hanging out together because nobody else will, but they end up having a genuine connection.

-He helps his ex convict friends with functioning in the real world after weirdmageddon, as much as he can anyways.

-Has minor identity crisis after weirdmageddon and during his "regular kid phase" he wants to be normal but normal doesn't really fit him.

-Eventually adopts the biker aesthetic from the ex-convicts after a while too. Ghost eyes gives him his old blue headband from prison. He kinda plays into the whole "outcast" thing.

-I also just like the idea of cute aesthetic -> actually evil and punk aesthetic -> chill guy that's trying to be better if that makes sense lmao.

-Ghost eyes just kinda lives with him now. He's allowed to adopt a grown ass man, as a treat.

-Some of the ex-convicts end up working at Bud's auto mart. And fix up the cars after they kinda took over during weirdmageddon.

-Ghost eyes and Gideon's parents have a weird relationship at first, but they eventually kinda co-parent him together. (Pic related)

-His "love" for Mabel was actually just him getting super attached to his first friend that treated him like a person and was around his age and thinking “she's a girl and I like her therefore we need to date each other”

-Loves rodents and small birds :)

-He also really likes to read. He and Dipper like the same books, but they have wildly different takes that they will fight each other over.

-Speaking of Dipper he kinda becomes a mentor/ older sibling figure to him. Dipper finds himself seeing himself in Gideon and giving him advice and stuff, and Gideon ends up genuinely listening to him.

-They share a lot of interests surprisingly! Mysteries, the secrets of Gravity Falls, books that are probably meant for older readers, ect. They don't agree on much though. (Dipper and Gideon parallels make me go insane btw)

-He and Pacifica are able to be friends with Mabel and her group of friends after a while. Gideon feels more comfortable in girl friend groups, he feels like he's able to be himself more.

-After a while Mrs Gleeful starts to regain her memories, and she starts to get overwhelmed. Her and Gideon stay at the mystery shack for a bit to sort out their feelings about both her and Bud being in a brainwash cult and the fact that Gideon doesn't remember a lot of his childhood because of it. (Also Mrs Gleeful and Melody should be friends I think. Also Gideon and Soos should also be friends. Everyone should be friends. Friendship is magic guys.) 

-He had his mom's hair color before the amulet changed it. I'm a brown haired Gideon truther sorry but not really. 

-His hair goes back to normal sorta?? Some parts are permanently white. He might start dying his hair one color so it doesn't stand out as much.

-His hair was that long because he physically couldn't cut it due to the effects of the amulet. (This is the most oddly specific curse ever who tf made this amulet)

-He is able to cut his hair eventually, but he doesn't realize it on his own. A monster tries to attack him but it gets his hair instead, giving him the first haircut he's had in years lmao.

-He doesn't know that Ford is the author. He actively avoids him because he associates his face with being tortured for like. Two days straight.

-He eventually finds out after a while and he's...Very conflicted. On one hand he looked up to this guy and even sorta admired him, but over time he started to blame "whoever's bright idea it was to hide a book of cursed spells near a kindergarten”

-Ford tried to apologize to him and it's extremely awkward because 1. Ford is the most autistic man alive and 2. Gideon tried to kill his grandkids because of the amulets' influence. Everyone involved feels really guilty, confused and terrible.

-Gideon gets over it eventually though. It takes the help of Ford explaining why he did what he did (aka the evil demon ex making him not think clearly) and a therapist, but he slowly gets better.

-The amulet was it's own entity that talked to him, Gideon considered it a friend even. After he loses it, when he's almost asleep, he can hear it whispering to him. Whispering how It misses him so much, and he needs to take revenge on those that wronged the both of them.

-The whispers slowly get fainter in prison, and completely stop post weirdmageddon.

-Gideon gets a FUCKING THERAPIST‼️

[grayskiesandink]

You know, i've always really liked Ink's concept of forgiveness/way to deal with conflicts and now with your jewish interpretation, i like it even more!

So, according to Ink's FAQ, Ink never tries to attack a enemy first and always tries to reconcile and understand where the problem is coming from, which includes him talking with the enemy in order to be able understand the issue and try to brush them in the right direction.

You may already now this but i realllyyy want to explain for anyone who doesn't, there's a concept in judaism called "teshuvah" (meaning "repentance" or "return"), it's a concept of forgiveness where the perpetratir undergoes a rigorous self-examination that requires engagement with the victim, by confessing, expressing regret and making an active effort to right thr wrong of what they commited.

I've always thought that his formula of dealing with fights to be very Teshuvah all around! In my opinion ofc

But anyways, i think the previous anon expressed their thoughts incorrectly because his need to "follow the script" is not a part of this headcanon at all. (it's actually a result of his abandonment issues, dissociative outlook on pretty much everything and always thinking what's best for the creators rather than what's better for him but i digress)

What i could however consider a part of this interpretation is his importance on life and the creations. It was said by comyet that Ink thinks all creations/life should exist because "it's fair", and that's actually one of the main reasons to why he decided to protect such creations in the first place! He loves them with all if his nonexistent heart and wants them to exist (this does imply that he protects AU's with bad endings but i'm trying to focus more on his want for living you know?)

yes !!! finally someone talks about Ink's fighting style...... It is so important to me that he's not this aggressor- in reality he'll do anything to not have to fight/aim to kill. He's a talker!! Fighting uses up his ink and that can always be dangerous (in how I write Ink- he does fight a bit more often but there's reasons for that. I still like to keep in mind his usual fighting style. and also my Ink is Not canon). It's really interesting to connect teshuvah with his fighting style... turning it around in my brain. honestly I always find thinking about forgiveness and how characters would deal with it super super interesting. I am always thinking about how Ink would deal with forgiveness. does he acknowledge his own mistakes... I think he'd more openly engage with his mistakes towards the Creators than he would for other people. is he haunted by his actions towards other characters. is he??? does he understand that's what he's feeling??? I NEED TO KNOW !! WAHGAG. Ink you're so cool and interesting I love youuuuu. I love thinking about Ink's worldview <3 I agree with everything you said about his attitude towards the scripts- I haven't seen it put into words often but there is something super intriguing about how at the same time he's both self sacrificial and selfish. I say selfish in the most non judgmental way to be clear, textbook definition of the word. How I see his desire to keep the scripts running is both out of deep respect for the creators and out of a desire to keep them happy so they keep creating (giving him access to the life force he needs). But, at the same time, this means everyone he cares about is put at risk (his dads!!!!!!). He's sacrificing his own personal attachments so he can focus on his own survival (at least, in part. I do think it's clear he just loves the creators). I do agree that his love for all creations is very Jewish of him <3. slaps the top of Ink. you can store so much love in this lad. soul or not. I think there might also be something to how he views everything as fiction- you can argue that he's fighting for the life of the creative work. the characters in it aren't like. real deaths. technically. idk. there's a lot to think about !!! I love answering these asks btw I hope that's clear. everybody feel free to come into my askbox and talk about Ink and also Judaism to me

5 fic recs from Vic

While I get un-stuck in my writing, I thought I'd share the love and recommend some fics I adore. These fics have either made me 😱 scream and throw my phone from fluff, plot or yearning. 🥵 drop my phone on the train and blush, or wish I had a cigarette. 👻 have lines that haunt me for days and make me contemplate my life choices.

Or some combination of two, or all 3.

Disclaimer: check tags if you need to. I'm mostly an F/M smut person, your mileage may vary.

The Wonders of Tevinter Magecraft by lovenug. Goddamn. Magic sex toys and a fucking wonderfully sweet moment in the living room in chapter 2. 👻😱🥵

Mourning Dove by @prawnqueen. "Tell me [...] allow me into yours." Jesus suffering fuck. 👻

i heard people are dying to get in here by @heylittleriotact. One of my mutuals let me know when chapter 6 dropped, that they would skip their own wedding to read it, and holy shit. Modern funeral home AU. 🥵👻

Seeds in the Garden by @vicsplinters. Listen. If you ever need a kidney, or another organ, I'm your gal. Not like they're going to be mine, anyway. But seriously. I was spamming about a line from a series and they picked it up and ran away with it and when I tell you I am just not a pregnancy fic person but this one ... gods, yes. 😱🥵👻

A Close Call by @razildor. Back when I was writing DAO, DA2, DAI, I ... was fairly vanilla in my smut writing. Two decades later (oh fuck I feel old where's my walker), I'm a lot less so, and right now cockwarming is one of my current ... turn-ons, pure and simple. Sooooo this one, right up my alley. *mwah* 🥵

I want to do more of these because as some people have said this week, the EmmRook fam here and on ao3 are just the sweetest, most supportive old-man-fucker-friends or old-man-romancers I've seen in a very, very long time, and we should be proud of that, and keep it going.

Because holy fucking shit have you looked outside lately? I am only going to be able to survive these next four years and then some with a fuckload of edibles, Diet Coke, and ao3/tumblr, okay? My job is ... something else. I need this shit to relax.

So there's the love! I'll try to do this at least once every two weeks.

If these are your fics, if you have a tumblr, lmk and I'll tag you!

With 🖤, victoria

[mybelovedmoon]

this is an interesting discussion to have tbh and i like getting to hear other chronically ill people’s thoughts on it! same thing applies for my rambles here, not saying this to invalidate your experiences or your perspective, just want to share my own thoughts on it since i didn’t rly add anything to it before haha

i think a lot of this honestly just depends on the person and the chronic illness. different illnesses obviously have different symptoms and different people experience things to different levels of severity. so i’m def not by any means saying no chronically ill person can or does have good grades, bc that would be factually false and ableist.

i’ve had almost perfect grades up until this point in my college degree, to the detriment of my own health like remus may have, but this academic year is honestly a lot harder on me for reasons im unsure of—i think some of it is a cumulative effect though, and im only doing a 4-year degree compared to the 7 years of Hogwarts. plus, this is not mentioning my high school career, in which i got Ds in most of my classes and missed so many days of school i nearly didn’t pass high school at all just based on attendance. we don’t even know if there’s an attendance requirement at hogwarts! but in a modern day college or high school au there might be.

there’s also the fact that hogwarts is huge, and has a ton of stairs with, canonically at least, no elevators or ramps, meaning he’d have to use more energy on a daily basis than a lot of us in the modern real world have to with ADA (this is not to say all campuses are accessible, but a lot are at least partially so). there’s the fact that some of the classes, like DADA, are a lot more physically involved than the classes many college students are taking in the real modern world. and going back to the attendance itself, we don’t know if hogwarts grades on attendance but a lot of modern day public schools require attendance and if you miss too many days you cannot move on regardless of grades. as for college, a lot of professors at smaller universities grade on attendance and hogwarts seems to have relatively small class sizes. so if professors aren’t willing to be flexible on that? his grades would be shit just from sheer number of absences.

then there’s the fact that remus may not be old but he has been ill for a very long time, having been bitten so young. if we think of lycanthropy as a progressive illness, which seems likely based on various canonical descriptions, it will have had a lot of time already despite his young age.

also what makes lycanthropy different from a lot of real illnesses is the routine nature of the flares. he will have at least one flare every single month. with a lot of real illnesses people can go months without flares when they’re on proper treatment. they’re unpredictable and randomized, you might have twelve one semester and two the next. lycanthropy guarantees he will be sick for at least a day every single month, but likely more (because i don’t think there’s a lot of detail on this in canon but i find it immensely hard to believe that the full moon would only affect him the night of).

and lastly for many chronically ill people success in academia depends quite strongly on how accommodating and flexible professors are. we don’t know much about the marauders era professors iirc, so we don’t know if they’re decent people who would allow him flexible deadlines when he’s ill or not. we don’t know if they’re prejudiced against werewolves and refuse to accommodate one. i might be forgetting some details bc i haven’t read the canon series in many years but even if we meet some of them i know for sure we don’t know them all. plus just because someone seems nice from a 2-minute flashback doesn’t mean they aren’t ableist etc. and depending on the illness, the severity, etc pushing through just is not always physically possible! yes there is a certain extent to which you can ignore your needs and overuse energy you don’t have but it’s not always possible. my brain fog has been really bad this semester. i can force myself to do all the readings for my classes, but i physically cannot force the information to stick in my brain, so going through the motions does shit for my grades. we don’t really know what kinds of symptoms he has but if remus is injured and physically cannot, say, go gather plants from the forest for herbology, or he gets dizzy/lightheaded and cannot brew a potion bc the steam/heat will actually make him pass out, or whatever else, it won’t really matter how hard he tries or wants to push through. to be completely candid about something i’ve not even said out loud yet, i’ve had to give up on my dreams of going to law school because i am physically unable to maintain the grades necessary to get into a decent school, or to do the amount of reading law school entails, despite my best desperate attempts at pushing through even when it’s destroying me mentally and physically.

anyways, as i said this isn’t to negate anything anyone else said, it’s just my own interpretation of things! ultimately we’re working off of very little canon information about this and i’m not here to tell anyone their experiences are wrong. i think it’s a really interesting conversation to have though.

people who think rjl would have really good grades have never been chronically ill and had to miss school consistently because of it. I'm sure he was smart! I'm sure he did really well on tests! but there has never been a character I'm more sure struggled to achieve the academic success that he was capable of.

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

do you want to hear my three houses college major takes of course you do let’s do this king

Edelgard is a political science major. I’m doing these based on more of a modern au fyi but I think polisci fits the bill with her no matter what. I’ve seen arguments for criminal justice but I tend to lean towards polisci thinking about career paths

Hubert is in biomedical engineering. I was going to say bio at first but with how much he worked with agarthan technology I thought putting him in some kind of engineering program would be interesting

Ferdinand is a criminology major trying to get into law school. Three hopes confirms he went to the officers academy to study and build a case against his father

Dorothea is in mass communications. She’d minor in music but I don’t think she’d spend all that money for a degree in it. Communications I thought would work because it’s like media in relation to society. I could see her as a film major too but that’s a bit of a stretch

Bernadetta is a creative writing major I don’t think I need to argue that one

Petra is a geography major. I was going to say international relations but in this sort of non noble modern au I think geography fits her personal interests. I know she hates math but geography lets her study so much stuff at the same time and it’s very Petra to me

Linhardt is a biochem major again I don’t think I need to argue that one

Caspar I honestly can’t imagine doing a four year program and I could not find anything that actually fit him. I could see him doing a two year certificate program or some kind of trade school in something like welding

Dimitri depends on how much we remove from the scenario. Kill his family and you have pissed off criminal justice major Dimitri. Don’t kill his family and you have forestry major Dimitri (based on that one convo he has with Dedue in hopes I just really love this concept)

Dedue is a horticulture major. I don’t know if this is exactly what he would choose to do, but it’s what I think he’d be happiest doing it’s just very lovely for him. I could also see him as a nutrition major

Felix is a kinesiology major. I don’t think he’d pick a major instantly, but I think he’d really click with kinesiology once that reason budding talent kicks in

Sylvain is a film studies major and I will die on that hill. It’s a communications adjacent major, which is what he’s consistently good at and he loves art and I think a lower level of urgency would let him get into it a little more. I could also see him in journalism

Ingrid I actually don’t know. She and Ashe both really leaned into the knight thing (Ashe at least had a very easy alternative for me to go with). I can see her as some kind of engineering major (I just don’t know what field) because it’s a very respectable career path and because Ingrid just has major woman in stem vibes

Annette is an education/mathematics double major ENOUGH SAID.

Mercedes I initially wanted to say nursing, but I think social work or child development fit her a lot better based on her ambitions. I’m leaning towards child development

Ashe is a classics major. If you’re going to look at me and tell me this guy would not lose his mind if you let him study ancient literature and civilization you are WRONG.

Claude I could see double majoring in anthropology and polisci. I think he’d throw in some sort of chemistry minor just for fun

HILDA IS A FUCKING MARKETING MAJOR. Fashion marketing of the school offers it but oh my god this woman screams marketing major I mean that as lovingly as I can. I know some schools have specific jewelry/metalsmithing programs but it’s not common enough for me to jump at it

On that same line of loving slander Lorenz is more than just a business major. He’s an entrepreneurship major. I honestly think he’d be really good at it though

Marianne is in pre-vet but we already knew that. She’s canonically helped a horse through labor

Lysithea is definitely a stem major but I have no idea which one. I could see her doing something insane like astrophysics. Actually yea Lysithea would fucking love physics. Or neuroscience

Ignatz definitely started off as a business major, crashed out, switched to art history so he could still feel “sophisticated” before finally committing to art

Raphael is a hospitality major and I need you to hear me out on this okay PLEASE. Most of what he’s interested in requires a large amount of math which this man does not care for at all and would die doing. His family runs an inn during three hopes, so hospitality is a very reasonable degree for him. He’d only go to college to help his family more anyway let’s be real

Leonie I think would like geology. I was between that and forestry because I think Leonie would be really concerned with environmental waste in a modern au. I ultimately chose geology because I think she’d eventually get bored out of her mind in forestry

Yuri is a sociology major. I was tempted to also throw polisci at him, but sociology I thought focused more on the things that he really cares about plus I think he’d die in a political science classroom

Constance is a biology major. I was going to say chemistry at first but then I thought about bioluminescence and thought yea. She’d like that. She’d like that a lot. I don’t actually know much about the specifics of stem majors so please correct me if I’m botching course material

Hapi I think would be a botony major. I just think she’d really thrive on figuring out all the different ways you can fuck around with a plant. Hapi I love you but I genuinely don’t know what the fuck she’d do if she went to college. I don’t think she would even want to go to college or she’d go in like her thirties

Balthus. I’m actually gonna need help with that one.

Anyways have fun bye

In the chilhood friends au, would Jayce become a Councelor? And if he do, would he be more of Silco's side or would he seek his advice?

I imagine Jayce asking a lot of questions to both Vander and Silco because he wants to understand Zaun, his favourite person (Viktor) is from Zaun so he wants to know.

I haven't actually thought that far ahead in that verse. But I do rather like in any verse where Viktor is more connected to Silco and Vander that Jayce gets to have at least a short stint on the Council.

The reason for it is because of by Viktor having a connection to Silco it means Jayce has a connection to Silco (or rather Silco has a connection with Jayce). And in this verse that connection is established much earlier because of Jayce and Viktor's friendship (because, again, if Jayce can get letters to Viktor then Viktor is begging Silco to let him have playdates with his new friend and Silco is not actually amazing at saying no to his kids and this isn't something Vander will say no to for them both). I don't think Jayce is as much a puppet councilor like Silco would want him because Jayce is actually rather moral and anti-corruption.

However I do think he definitively more listens to Silco than a lot of the other councilors do and will at least investigate the claims Silco is making about the parts of Zaun being in need of money being put into them. And because Viktor has a very alive and demanding family in Zaun (that Jayce of course wants to get to know because family is important to him) Jayce has visited Zaun a lot more than he does in canon and so has seen with his own eyes how much Zaun needs money and support to resolve the massive inequality between the two halves of the city. And also, yeah, grows up asking Silco and Vander a lot of questions about Zaun so he can learn more about Viktor and his culture. Questions that they answer honestly.

The frustration on Silco's part is that Jayce also then creates projects that he oversees to ensure the money is spent effectively for the designated use it's given (partially because he can then be helping to build something even if it's not being done by his hands - it's probably his favourite part of his job). While Silco a little bit more wants a blank check that he can use how he sees fit to help Zaun. There is no ability to skim a bit off the side to funnel into side-projects and weapon-caches for the long-term goal of independence.

Yay finish this one! After finishing Connie I just gotta draw Lloyd cause the way that he is described really sounds found to me especially his oni dragon form! And also cause I seriously need to practice drawing guys like seriously the last time I drew a guy was in October and I think that doesn't quite seem fair since the guy was just an au version of MC that I've made and since he's a robot I took some liberties on not fully drawing the human anatomy so yeah, tho still cute mechanic boy tho.

Honestly I didn't go too crazy with the design and just drew Lloyd the way the fanfic described him which what I've listed is pale, tall, athletic body, pointed ears, fangs, freckles, scars, bright green eyes, and mussed styled blonde hair. Honestly if I'm being honest I was just trying to give him a elven vampire look cause like come on just read the description Lloyd was given in the fic? Pointed eared fanged blond haired boy with green eyes that can also turn red AND purple? No wonder the reader of this fic is simping for him, he's basically a combo of fantasy elf prince and horror vampire lover and with her book loving heart she couldn't handle the amount of hotness he is! 乁⁠[⁠ᓀ⁠˵⁠▾⁠˵⁠ᓂ⁠]⁠ㄏ

And then for his ninja gi at first I wanted to draw Lloyd with his gi in the cover of the fanfic from Wattpad but I decided to add in elements from his gi in the sons of garmadon and took some liberties cause I couldn't draw the mask right cause I ended up making him look like a wrapped sausage with the first mask I drew him in, tho with this experience I now understand why most fanarts of the ninjas in Ninjago are them not wearing masks cause like those things are HARD to draw. Or maybe that's just me, seriously can someone confirm to me if I'm right for this cause like when I search up Ninjago fanarts most of them are the ninjas not wearing their masks ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

The real fun was when I drew the oni dragon form! Tho I was working backwards with drawing Uchu first cause since he's described as the evolved version of Lloyd in his oni dragon form It was an easier process with making Uchu first cause if I made his final form then I can work out what it may look like in it's premature state! Tho I will say this even tho it's a fun experience drawing this it was NOT easy cause the description of this form is something. Uchu and Lloyd's horns are described like crowns on their head but with how it's described with Lloyd grabbing his front horn and also the two fronts of it being kissed but the horns also described as tiered with each set being longer then the others, I was seriously racking my head trying to figure out what it looks like and don't even get me started with Uchu's horns then being described as antler like this part seriously put dents in my brain (⁠~⁠_⁠~⁠;⁠) Tho luckily at the end i end up getting a design I like and with the horns design finish I just sorta made Uchu's form literally just more exaggerated and longer but trying my best to make it look regal the best I can. Tho I just made Uchu have super long braid cause I just thought it would be so cool that in his oni dragon form his hair grew longer which give him like a dragon looking tail braid and I thought it would be so cute Saisho braiding and brushing her hubby's hair. And I just gave Lloyd's oni dragon form not that exaggerated, long and darker and I was done! Tho I gotta admit I'm sad that I couldn't color his scales have that golden shine to them but sadly my yellow pen ink got covered too mush with the black colored pencil so there's nothing I could do about it, but besides that I'm happy with the results cause I honestly did not think I could do anatomy besides girls this well since I haven't practiced it a lot! ⊂⁠(⁠(⁠・⁠▽⁠・⁠)⁠)⁠⊃

If anyone is wondering what the heck I'm talking about this is a fanart from Ninjago fanfic made by @samseaaa called butterfly effect, here's a link any of you would like to check it out!

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR SMOKESCREEN CONTENT

YOUR AU’s your content and awesomeness make me happy!!!

As a 100% smokescreen stan you help keep us going!!!

I especially love the rescue bots one. Do you have any more thoughts about it?

Like how does he get treated by Megatron after being captured in your AU ? What does megatron do to sway him? Would he tell him stories of rescue bots past?

Do the other decepticons have a soft spot for him? Do they help him escape? (it would be interesting to see his dynamic with knock out hehe)

How do rescue bots get treated in general and how does that effect smokescreens treatment before and when he comes back to base! Oooh What happens next?

How do the autobots react to the “only” rescue bot , their little rookie being held captive? Esp since megatron always respected Rescue bots and is trying to sway him??

No pressure to answer but I’d love to hear what u think!

I ADORE YOUR BLOG!! You have my support!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

dhjbvjdhbvjd thank you so much that means a lot to me :D, and as for the questions >:3

Once Smokescreen is verified to have been a Real Genuine Rescue Bot, things change quite dramatically from canon. For one, Smokescreen is kept unconscious following the procedure and is moved into a new room. It's an old, long unused officer's quarters. There is a vehicon guard stationed outside 24/7, and at regular intervals a separate vehicon will come and deliver him energon. After several days of "good behavior," he's even allowed to visit an observation deck, albeit with Megatron himself accompanying him

were it not for the fact his door was locked and he wasn't allowed to leave, he'd be more of a guest than prisoner.

Admittedly, the lax behavior is partially due to Smokescreen realizing very early on that if he plays into the Helpless Frightened Rescue Bot image that Megatron seems to have gotten into his head, he'll have a much easier time escaping later

which he does :D but that's something that'll be talked about more in depth later, right now: Megatron

Megsy's got a weird thing going on where he manages to be both very respectful but also incredibly patronizing at the exact same time. He'll praise Smokescreen for his ability to rise up and become a medic despite the functionism shit that was going on in one sentence, but then in the next lament how the autobots """took advantage of his ignorance""" and """are keeping him captive"""

Megatron made one major miscalculation, and that being Rescue Bots don't just help the Cybertronian Race. Even if what he was saying about the Autobots was true, it wouldn't change the fact that Megatron has on more than one occasion shown his ill intentions to humanity as a whole. And because of his strained relationship with Team Prime, Smokescreen ended up spending a LOT of time talking with the kids, and he does not take very kindly to all the danger they've been put in by the Decepticons specifically targeting them

Smokescreen is on decent terms with a handful of Decepticons. First, Knockout, and they bond a GREAT deal over bitching over functionist assholes from their past. It's very cathartic, especially after having to play so harmless with Megatron, but he definitely needs to be careful lest he let too much slip. There's also Dreadwing, but they're more on neutral terms.

Then there are the vehicons and eradicons :)

eventually, Smokescreen manages to talk his way into being allowed to help out in the medbay. Nothing actually important or life saving, just patching up scrapes and banging out dents

however, one of Smokescreen's strongest suits is his bedside manner. He makes nice conversation, keeps pain to a minimum, and just... treats them with common decency.

luckily for him, the foot soldiers of the decepticon army have been kinda starved for that

they won't help him, they're too absolutely terrified of high command to... but if they turn the other way if they see him sneaking spare scraps of tools out of the medbay, then that's nobody's business.

As for your next question in regards to Rescue Bot treatment:

Prior to the war, over the course of millions of years they managed to leverage an amount of wiggle room with functionism. They are still some restrictions with rules and "form" requirements, but the Rescue Bot organization was a master of making up new positions and bullshitting paperwork to make it work. Public opinion was outwardly fairly neutral, but behind closed doors the majority adored the Rescue Bots. Upper classes... less so, but they couldn't afford to publicly declare otherwise.

There was still a lot of flaws with the system, and cracks of functionism sneaked their way into it, but they were trying their best with what they were given.

During the war, things got a bit messier. Countless Rescue Bots were getting caught up in battles, there was a huge drop in new members, more and more were dying or going missing. It also didn't help that some even scorned them for not picking a side.

Eventually... they were completely wiped out.

The Autobots were so, so hopeful when they found Smokescreen. A Recue Bot that was alive and well, who could remember parts of a culture and organization that was considered to be long since lost. If he made it to the end of the war, if he survived just a little bit longer, perhaps the Rescue Bots could be revived

As for when he's captured... they aren't too worried about him being harmed. It's still possible, but it's a fairly well known fact that Megatron during the war respected the Rescue Bots and punished any who conspired against them. However, that was a long time ago, and Megatron is far from the same bot he was back then

They're more worried about the affect on Smokescreen's mind. On what he'll be told, how Megatron will twist his words and break his spirit

[discordiansamba]

some more assorted thoughts about the white phosphorus AU:

rin may or may not have a tiny hoarding problem. he hates throwing stuff away. this is a direct consequence of growing up with minimal possessions. his bedroom is a minefield of stuff.

(you can really tell which half of the twins' dorm room belongs to rin.)

he raised goldfish as pets with his mom while they were both confined at the Vatican, so she could teach him how to care for living creatures. they were still alive when yuri died, and he refused to leave them behind so shiro had to have the whole tank brought with them to the monastery.

(they have all since died, and rin never replaced them. but he still has the empty tank.)

shiro leaving futsumaya to find shiemi has given rinka a flower crown made of woven sunflowers. he bursts out laughing at the sight. this is the kid that he resented for so long? that everyone's afraid of? they're all idiots, he thinks.

(one of the priests teaches rin to press flowers. he saves the whole crown.)

living in the world outside the room he's been confined in for his entire life is just one huge chain of firsts for rinka. his first summer! his first fall! his first winter! his first snow!

shiro: where's...?

nagatomo: he's running around outside barefoot in the snow

shiro: of course he is.

rin going from weird feral gremlin child to someone who can mostly pass for a (slightly weird) human. god bless yuri, she did her best, but rin is an absolute mess those first few years of living at the monastery.

the only demons kings rin has met are mephisto, amaimon and beelzebub. he likes beelzebub the best out of them, though sometimes it's fun to let off steam with amaimon in a way he can't with humans.

rin voice: i only know three demon kings, but i'm putting money on samael being the most eccentric.

rin, much later: i was fucking right.

the idea of the other exwires being intensely unnerved by rinka and shiemi just. oh! that's my friend! hi rinka! :)

rinka: hi shiemi! :)

shima: ...in some ways, i think moriyama-san is the strongest of us all.

(everyone just nods)

samael has long since taught rinka how to hide his demon heart, but he shows it to shiemi, just once. she smiles and says its warm and toasty.

shiro: don't worry about the right eye of the impure king. i got a reliable guard to watch over it.

(flash cut to rinka, sitting in front of where its sealed, yawning and in his pajamas, complete with bedhead. this sucks. they were supposed to have the day off today. he was going to see kyoto tower.)

rin: i don't have a deeply rooted complex about the fragility of humans in comparison to myself or anything. no need to deeply examine my reactions to look for one.

the exwires interacting with rinka with his mask off is just like. okay. yeah. if you didn't have that thing, we would have connected you to rin *a lot* sooner.

(it's going to take a little while to get used to seeing rin's expressions with those eyes.)

while yukio is away on his middle school trip to kyoto, rinka just lounges around the monastery. it gives the priests whiplash. oh right. that is his actual appearance.

rin swinging by the old men's dorms during the exwire exam preparation training camp with food for everyone, only to find everyone doing collective bariyon punishment. hm. he's missed something.

(he leaves right before the lights go out, and the ghouls arrive. yukio freaks out because he's pretty sure his brother is still somewhere in the dorm. by himself. unarmed. what if there's more ghouls?)

(there were. but rinka can handle himself.)

(neuhaus' true target is yukio, this time. he can't touch the paladin's familiar, after all.)

You can ALWAYS tag me, I love being tagged.

Idk how much you're ok with me adding to your post, and this isn't perhaps fully on topic, but I have one singular thought in response to this that mainly consists of why they don't trust Wild.

It's because he gets so many injuries I think

example-

They are all so concerned look at their faces, gosh

Legend perhaps isn't too bad overall in his actions towards Wild- I mean Wild is the one he chose to go with when the group split the first time (at the beginning of the divine dark reflections arc- I mean they argued but they still chose to go together right?) Mainly it's just that Legend can be a bit rude to everyone. But here's this-

'He's not hurt again is he?' *zooms in on the word again*

It seems like it's a normal event for the Wild child to get injured.

...obviously

Here's some of Jojo's words- I think it's a bit related

'I see him as 'always hurt' because he pulls all the reckless stunts. while the others are more puzzle solvers...'

So basically my thought is this: the others don't view Wild as stupid- they don't see him as an idiot who they need to tie down before he does something idiotic- no, they see him as a hero who gets hurt... a lot. like a lot. And yeah he and Wars are a mess lol

If you care about someone, you don't want them to get hurt. If you see someone getting hurt a lot, you want to keep better track of them to make sure they're safe.

The others do their best, and I think it'd be hard to know how to handle this guy who you care about who is totally chill with jumping off a cliff at any time. In fact, didn't he suggest he climb down a cliff alone as the immediate solution to following the shadow?

Oh my Hylia, he did

Honestly that scene (in the shadow pt. 4 btw) is kind of funny to me with this dynamic-

Wild: *is trying to offer solutions*

The others, immediately: DO NOT CLIMB DOWN THE CLIFF

I love Wild, and it's a big part of his character that he is so creative and stuff- but what else could they do other than shoot down his idea when it consisted of scaling down a freaking cliff alone over a bloodthirsty monster you don't know much about- it was just a really bad idea of his ok.

Also the art and photos is from Jojo @linkeduniverse au :D

I think it's hard for many to not be defensive of Wild right now (most recent update is Central Room pt.4), because of all the drama with whatever is going on with him and Wars, everyone, etc.

But I love them :) I love that their concern is quite legitimate- that they have reasons to see Wild and perhaps treat him a bit differently.

I guess.. I guess you could say... it's because he's... I mean he's a little bit Wild

I am hilarious

:)

hello lu fandom i have started falling back into lu and i have thoughts on wild again

anyways i think that there are a few members of the chain that don't trust wild or give him the ability to demonstrate his own abilities. and i imagine it would be frustrating for wild to constantly be held at arm's length or constantly be yelled at for doing things incorrectly. legend, time, and warriors are the worst for this.

this post by @luna-loveboop (sorry for the tag!) discusses how warriors tends to view wild and how wild acts in response to that. wars has been shown to hold wild to the standard of one of his soldiers, which is not something he does with any of the other links. in turn, wild doesn't really know how to act around or talk to warriors. legend (although he has been shown to joke around with wild from time to time) doesn't seem like he really likes wild much, let alone trusts him. leg's always calling wild things like "crazy" and insinuating that wild is too uncivilized and routinely nitpicks the way he does things. time, right now, is just on edge so he's more of a hardass than usual. he and wild tend to get along well, but i personally tend to headcanon that there's still a lack of trust in there.

i think it can be insulting to wild when he's a hero in his own right, who woke up with nothing one day and was told to save the world. yes, his methods are different from a lot of the others' methods but that's the nature of his game(s). i think the way that legend and warriors routinely treat wild is the most telling and the most likely to cause issues. wild hasn't said anything about this yet. either he doesn't want to cause a problem or he just hasn't noticed.

oh hey! i was reading a fic the other day where Wangji was once misspelled as Wangu. which leads me to: MDZS Pingu-style??? noot noot!

Do you think love can bloom on the sea ice?

[buubonita]

I see Past/Passive Nightmare defending himself at least once from the constant harassment and the villagers using this as an excuse to further spread the idea that he is bad and turn Dream against him at some point.

[pigeonstab]

Cross and Dream would be unstoppable. In a bad way. Those two are both overworking machines and Blue is so so tired of having to wrangle them into resting.

oh yeah before i forget cute mttpoly headcanon because i said so: when killer finds out (through SOME way of means. he has his ways) that dust and horror like something then at every chance he can he goes and finds that thing for them :3 because I SAID SO AND IT'S CUTE ‼️‼️ (something something killer has no idea how to properly show affection and appreciation after believing his whole life was meant to cause pain and suffering to those close to him and now that he's trying he does silly goofy stuff like this hehe,,,,,,, dust is DROWNING in piles of fluffy blankets and books. horror cannot keep up with eating the amount of snacks killer keeps stealing for him 😞😞😞)
