#i love it when i have to headcanon a character's entire existence besides his appearance

[legosnek]

I'm never forgiving Lego for not making shows for other original themes because from what I've seen from the Lego community on this site, I reckon a lot more people would love Monster Fighters or Ultra Agents if the characters actually had some personality

[thewritertiger]

i have the same teen bill theory omg there's a lot of evidence that points to it pls post more!!!

ok...this will be a lot....(you want to kill me? right? You want to make me insane right?)

why bill cipher is just a kid?

This theory has some holes but I always took it as a headcanon for Bill

The theory starts when Bill mentions in his book (in the interview he does with himself) that he is accused of being a teenager but in reality, he is a pre-teenager. Knowing his age is one billion twelve years, and if you take away the one billion you are left with 12 years.

But Tiger Bill has existed since our world was created. How is he going to be a pre-teenager? Well, here comes the Peter Pan theory, characters like Peter Pan, Edward Cullen (Twilight), King and the Collector (The Owl House) are immortal characters who live millions of years but still have a young appearance and a young mentality (despite how long they live, they still have a mentality according to their age). In Bill's case, he has been seen doing things that could be considered "childish" or "immature", and let's not even talk about the tantrums and pranks he has gotten into. I see Bill in the series as a capricious child who wants to rule the world as if it were a lollipop.

And how is it that Bill can live so long and still be a 12-year-old boy? Simple: when he left his physical form in the nightmare realm, his age was “paused” and he has not grown or developed since then. He only grows again when he regains his physical form. And since he has been in his mindscape form throughout his entire journey on earth, he has not grown or developed maturity-wise since then. So he remained 12 years old from when he left his realm until the end of the series.

And the flirtations with Ford? And the fact that he drank? And the other things he said in his book? As Ford himself said (in the Latino version) “Bill is not a god, he is a dramatic and needy child looking for a stage.” Everything that Bill does is an act. He is willing to do whatever it takes to reach his goal, even pretending to be an omnipotent adult and even making humans fall in love with him. Surely Ford realized that Bill, besides being a source of knowledge, was just a capricious child who wanted to get attention, getting HIS attention, telling him nice things so he would pay attention to him because that is what every child wants. Besides, that was the way to achieve his goal (the portal). And it is a little sad that he is capable of doing ANYTHING just to receive attention and achieve his goal.

Bill made Ford feel special, and in some way Ford made Bill feel special. In addition, it is also very constant that they refer to Bill as someone “immature” “a child” or “a teenager or pre-teenager” in his book

I compare Bill a lot with the collector of the owl house: both are cosmic beings of omnipotence, both have family problems, both are treated as weird, both had a tragic past, both went to another world to fulfill a goal of domination, both want attention and both have unreal and creative thoughts that they apply a lot in their magic.

and when we talk about Euclidia, I feel that Bill when he was a baby or a child had a tantrum or an attack (and I feel that it was related to not wanting to take the doctor's medicine) and that ended up unleashing his hidden power and destroying his world. Or he wanted to show the stars to his parents and others so much that he ended up using his power to show them, but that ended up destroying his dimension. Alone and without parents, he found a world in which he fit, the realm of nightmares. More creatures like him welcomed him into their world and he learned about them. He was very worried that his world would be destroyed and that he and his friends would be stranded in nothingness again, so at the age of 12 he set out on that journey to find another world to live in.

Am I justifying the horrible things Bill did with the excuse that he is just a child? ehhh… I don't know and I don't want to get into that debate because it would be too long….

So in summary: Bill is a 12-year-old boy with family issues and a capricious child who wants attention and has a hard time maturing even if he pretends it

but remember! is just a theory!

i hope you like my theory and hope I explained it right. I really love this theory is one of my favorite

[twst-lovecraft]

Waah! I just loves you little things post! May i request something similar but with Azul, Rook and one from your choosing? ty ty

twst character x reader || fluff || romantic relationship (at crushing state) [🌻]

TW: mention of childhood trauma because of bullying, lack of self-worth (Azul); OOC  

Little things they do: {part 1} {part 2} 

Summary: {part 2} - Little things that they do when they're crushing on you, although they do not notice their change in behaviour.

Characters(s): Azul Ashengrotto, Floyd Leech, Rook Hunt

Au note: Thank you anon for liking my humble headcanons 💖 And for the random character I choose Floyd because the spinning wheel online said so - Last but not least, thank you my dear friend, Yiini (they do not have a tumblr), for helping me with headcanoning Floyd in this request! 

Azul Ashengrotto:

Azul would also be in the denial category because of his cautiousness and self-doubts despite he knows the existence of his more vulnerable sides. What he has learned throughout his childhood is that you should suppress your emotion and put on a facade so that you seem invulnerable to the public eyes. The same things when he started to notice his feelings beginning to blossom. He started to think of the worse scenario: you will reject him in the first place and he would have no chance at all to win your heart and favour.

The first sign that Azul is holding feelings for you is that he would become more distant from you than usual. His facade would be easier to spot as when Azul must have a conversation with you, he would put on his fake business smile and attitude which is weird if you had known him before (rather you had been one of his childhood friends or you had known him ever since your first year in Night Raven Collage).

Azul might need a little push to fully court you properly or a reason for him to live in the moment without caring about the consequences. You might catch him "accidentally" walking alongside you to classes when Azul had entirely accepted that with romance; he needs to try before assuming anything.

Azul would also be one of the boys who really hard to catch him slipping up something important, especially his more vulnerable sides and his little soft spots for you. This usually happens off-scene when he's alone because he always tries to be presentable to you whenever you two are sitting in the same room. Sometimes when Azul's in his office and VIP room, he may wander his thought to you or reminds him of one of your hobbies when going through some paperwork of Mostro Lounge. When he's going through the suggestion of the seasonal menu of the Mostro Lounge, maybe it was spring and you perhaps like strawberry and a type of strawberry flavour desert on the new menu might remind him of you.

After some time, he would appear more vulnerable in front of you and your chances of catching him off guard are more regular than before. Azul would easily be touched by your kindness to everyone and him despite of his sketchy reputation.

If you two could schedule some alone time with each other (which would definitely make Azul feel over the moon), Azul would drink up every drop of your affection and care and you might hear him ramble about how tired he's. He would have the trust to ramble to you freely without a care that you would judge him for it. Because he knows that you're not that kind of person which is also the reason why he had fallen for you in the first place.

Floyd Leech:

Floyd would be confused for a while when he started to liking you because he seems like a person who did not have any experience with land dwellers’ romance nor had read about it in the first place. At first, Floyd might think that he had a heart attack or nearly dying because all of the air has been suck out of his lungs whenever he’s standing beside you. You bet that Floyd is extremely baffle with this situation that he’s facing. He would also be less focus during his shift at Mostro Lounge which makes Azul very frustrated. 

Sometimes after, when Floyd finally understand the feelings inside of his chest is actually called “love” and he’s being introduce to the topic of romance and how the human body would react whenever they’re near someone they’re attracted to. He would also immediately became more clinger to you despite of his mood. 

If he has a sour mood, Floyd would basically talk your ear off and became so whiny like a child who had lost one of his favourite toy and expected you to coax him with love and care.  

Like Azul, Floyds loves to rambling every things that he feels at the moment when he sees you. Another thing is that Floyd actually do not needs to hide away his crush for you. He would express that openly for everyone to see, because of that, no one would even dare to mess with you ever and anon. Floyd would also has the urge to hug and squeeze you with love when ever he cross path with you in the hallway. 

Much like Azul himself, Floyd would very much being reminds of you through simple objects in his everyday life. Unlike Azul though, Floyd would immediately show the thing reminds him of you in a heart beat like a child who had discover something interesting on their own and waiting for you to praise them. If he saw an interesting rock on the road then he would simply bring it to you and said this rock is special because it’s reminds him of you. 

As you can guess, Floyd is a big tease himself and even before he has notice his feeling for you, Floyd has been teasing you from the start, trying to get a reaction out of you. Even drag you further into his rendezvous, outburst of emotion to do something all of a sudden. He might wanted to skip Trein’s period so he just pick you up drag you by himself to a place where he could show you the interesting things that he had just found and keep you for himself. 

Rook Hunt:

Rook is also a tough nut to crack. Despite Rook claims himself as Le chasseur d’amour, he might take a while to started notice his feelings for you is romantic because Rook simply spend all of his time to admire beauty and sang his heart out to praising the concept of “Love”. So for him to notice that his action towards you act out of that concept it’s gonna be a whole journey. 

With Rook, the synopsis of slip up does not exists in the first place because he has always openly express his honest feeling about everything that’s surrounding him but before Rook could realize his own feelings, most of his action was act out on unconsciousness psyche while chasing after the said concept of love, romance and beauty in life. 

As Rook go on his outdoors activities to search and discover undercover beauty and charms of life, he always made a mental note, even speak out his thoughts that nothing could compare to your ethereal charms and beauty. That’s when reality hit him, the Hunter has finally met and understand the feeling of love and it was right under his nose yet he can not recognize it. 

Even before Rook realize his feelings, you can guess that he has his eyes on you for while before that. At first, it might not because you had shot a Cupid’s Arrow straight through his heart but rather you had caught his interest like a few beastmen, mermen or faes in the school ground. 

But after Rook known about his undying love for you, the purpose of his observation tendency started to changes. In the past, he may used to observe you from afar to gush or singing praises about how adorable you are (even if you’re like taller than 6 feet), at the present, he think you’re adorable still but he prefer to just watch and admire you from afar. After all, Rook is kinda a hopeless romantic himself.

my towering love

zhongli is concerned on why you feel insecure about your height

because in his eyes, he thinks its your best feature

he loves that he can just glance over to you while telling stories, and he especially loves that excited expression on your face when you’re intently listening

zhongli adores locking elbows together and parading around liyue, quietly showing everyone that you were his and he was yours

so when you suddenly begin to shrink into yourself as you two go on your usual outings, zhongli feels like he did something wrong

he doesn’t miss how you look at yourself in the passing windows either

it shouldn’t be that much of a shock to you when he confronted you when you arrived home

zhongli asks you questions occasionally, leaving plently of room for you to explain what and why you’re feeling

and even when your words seem to fail you, zhongli does his best to be patient and understanding

when you reveal that you feel so out of place with him because of your height, zhongli wants to hug you so tightly that your insecurities are squeezed out of you

if any tears seem to spring from your eyes, zhongli is quick to brush them away and kiss your cheeks

he murmurs praise and adoration for you, reassuring you that he loves your height and has never found himself embarrassed about it

when you ask him if he’s really sure about that, a part of his heart breaks at your expression

“In my eyes I see the most beautiful and charming woman every single day. Does that sound like embarrassment to you, dearest?” 

he doesn’t really understand why you’d be upset with your height

diluc does try, but he can’t wrap his head around why you’re so hard on yourself for just... existing

he loves standing by you, head to head and shoulder to shoulder

it makes his heart swell with pride that he has you beside him through and through

so it really confuses him when you adjust your outfits and appearance to appear shorter, grimacing at yourself in the mirror when the results are unsatisfactory

diluc tries to introduce the conversation lightly, but you keep changing- no, avoiding the topic entirely

it hurts him slightly when you do this, because it feels like you can’t trust him and open up

at one point, diluc manages to ask the question when you’ve lowered your guard and feel the most vulnerable

and he’s both delighted and saddened when you open up

diluc offers his hands to hold while you talk through your emotions

he’s not bothered if you squeeze them or rub your thumb over his knuckles to ground yourself as you talk. he just offers you a gentle smile and nods for you to continue

if tears seem to be slipping down your face, diluc will carefully and nonchalantly wipe them away with the tips of his gloved hands

when you finish, diluc asks gently if you’d like a hug or to be held for a while

with his hands around you and chin gently placed on your head, you feel most at home and most happy with him

diluc presses kisses to your head and forehead, slowly trailing down to your cheeks then lips

when he breaks away, he stares at your face with his gentle red eyes so full of love

“I love every single part of you and I always will. Promise me you’ll always remember that, for the both of us.”

kaeya often forgets that you’re as tall as him

you two always have found a way to get comfortable, even with your similar heights, so it never really bothered him

he’s only reminded whenever he looks at you from a distance

and when he does? this man has HEART eyes and he feels his knees buckling slightly

kaeya has unknowingly fallen for your height as well as everything else about you 

honestly, he’s surprised when he starts noticing the signs of insecurity in you

...have you always been like this with him? was he only noticing the signs now because of how close you two have gotten? if that was true then what else had kaeya missed? or maybe this was a more recent occurrence? if it was, then that meant that he might have-

these thoughts aren’t helping him, or you for that matter though

he tries to find the “perfect” time to ask you about it, somewhere private that lowers your guard

so, after a night at home drinking, kaeya casually asks the question

he’s not expecting you to just open up so quickly, so drunk that you don’t even realize what you’re telling him

he is just so... sad for you. it’s a mixture of pity and also heart break, in an odd way

kaeya is quick to wipe away any tears that you may create, a gentle frown appearing on his face

while you talk, kaeya will rub your back and press light kisses all over you. when you pause to catch your voice, kayea will murmur gentle reassurances and encourage you to keep talking

he loves you and your height, and by the time he has tucked you into bed you’ll realize that

“Hey, hey, it’s alright now. I’m here for you, darling, and I always will be from here on out.”

childe has always seemed unbothered by your height

sure, it can sometimes get in the way of cuddling, hugging, and other intimate things, but he's grown used to it by now

unbeknownst to you though, childe absolutely loves it

he sees you as the perfect sparing and training partner

even if you outright refuse to battle with childe, he'll still try to tackle you to the bed whenever he comes home

it usually ends with both of you laughing while childe hugs you tightly and kisses you all over your face, missing you so much

so when you start to make the odd self depreciating joke, childe is really shocked

but you’re quick to change the subject before he could confront you about it

he begins to really worry about you when those jokes transform into statements of self hatred muttered under your breath

when it's finally crystal clear to childe that you need help and reassurance, he is fast to provide that

the next time you two are alone, he’ll bring up his concerns about your recent behavior

when you open up about your insucrities, childe is honestly shocked. he genuinely never realized that you might have been insecure about it, because childe has always loved it so much

he’ll immediately snap out of his shock if you begin to cry, quickly hugging you and apologizing if he ever made you feel like that

childe just wants to pepper kisses across your cheeks and head, cradling the back of your head and holding onto you as he reassures you that he loves you for being you

he promises you that he’s not going to stop doing all of this until you understand how much he loves you and your height

childe is offended that you think he’s kidding around

“You think I’m joking? Why would I ever joke about loving my beautiful giant? Ow, ow, okay- sweetie that was a joke! I love you so much, honestly.”

itto was shocked to see someone as tall as him, or close to his height at least

he was super attracted to you because of it, actually. it’s what eventually got you two together 

itto sometimes forgets to tell you how much he loves your height, only because he just assumes a beautiful girl like you already knows it

he gets confused when you try to appear smaller, adding more layers to your clothing and refusing to wear raised shoes

luckily for you both, itto is quite blunt whenever he notices something is wrong

he’s not afraid to ask why you’re feeling like this because he is genuinely curious

when you tell him that you’ve just felt so... inconvenient to him, itto’s heart breaks a little bit

he’s very quick to assure you that it isn’t the case at all. itto loves you so much and you have never been inconvenient to him at all

itto will hug you very tightly and kiss all over your face, murmuring over and over that he loves you 

if he sees you crying, he’ll try to make jokes to cheer you up and hug you tighter

itto will be so shocked if you start apologizing, pulling away from you to look at you

“As you boyfriend, I need to let you know just how beautiful and amazing and smart you are. And clearly, I haven’t been doing that enough. So, starting now, the only thing you’ll be hearing from me is how much I love you. You alright with that, cutie?”

thank you for reading 💖 all forms of interaction to my posts are appreciated 💖 

[shotorozu]

hellolololo!¡! so i recently saw this video where their

s/o goes on to omegle and the other person from omegle like goes “hi ur cute” or “u have snap?” and then their boyfriend just enters the frame,, can u do that to todobakudeku separately :3

if u dont understand u can check this out 😭 https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSJdEqc7V/ tyy ❤️❤️

“ur kinda cute” on omegle

(tiktok prank)

character(s) : todoroki shouto, bakugou katsuki, midoriya izuku (bnha)

part two — part three

legend : [Y/N = your name] they/them pronouns used, quirk not mentioned

headcanon type : fluff, crack — ‘x reader’

note(s) : i love these types of requests 🤩 so i plan on making 3 parts with this (oh and don’t worry, i’ll finish the other tiktok prank series i have going on at the moment)

also, there’s no proofread on this so if there’s any typos or mistakes, sorry! i’ll be editing them in the morning

┈ ✁✃✁✃✁✃✁✃✁ ┈

todoroki shouto

okay so, the entire tiktok idea was planned— but the part where shouto came in surely wasn’t staged

so, being a curious young person— you wanted to make a tiktok, where you went on omegle just to speak to people for fun

and inside of your head, you’re kinda thinking that “this is dumb, omg im going to get flashed on there.” also while you were setting up your laptop

but you just used the appropriate tags and !! you were set off for an adventure

you set your phone aside, and you filmed most of the experience— cutting out the not so interesting encounters out of your tiktok

and then came on a dude, who had a,, unique reaction. he didn’t seem all that fishy— until he asked you for your snap (your social medias, essentially)

“you’re kinda cute, y’know. how did i not see you before?”

you shake your head, “oh no no! i appreciate your compliment, but i’m very much taken!” your mind immediately flashing back to the image of your icyhot boyfriend

“nahh you’re lying! i don’t see any dude back there”

oh,, and that was because shouto was out getting snacks 🧎 “no really dude, i appreciate it! i’m very much taken and being disloyal is out of the question!”

this dude just kept insisting and insisting, and due to the struggle— you weren’t able to hear the door knob jiggle

it seemed to be that his advances came to an end, and your lover made an entrance— a mop of red and white peaked out from the door frame

and the dude literally got scared and ended the conversation 💀 because you really weren’t lying!

you also figured that it was time to end your omegle shenanigans, and finish the tiktok— because your boyfriend was already there “hi love, who were you talking to?”

you closed your laptop, and offered him a smile “i was on omegle for a tiktok! i’m glad you’re back.” you discard your phone, wrapping your arms around his torso (and also making sure you don’t delete the draft)

shouto doesn’t say a lot, but he immediately accepts your touch, setting the groceries aside.

he doesn’t question the fact that you were on omegle because well,, he had to get used to your shenanigans on tiktok SOMEHOW

a few hours later, you posted the tiktok— and almost immediately, the tiktok gains a lot of attention

“i love how your boyfriend drove the last dude away 💀💀” “man the last dude didn’t take the hint 🗿” “your boyfriend indirectly protected you! we need more guys like him.”

you snicker at the comments, which ultimately gathered shouto’s attention “what’s up, love?”

you show him the tiktok, “the tiktok did well.” he’ll comment calmly, but shouto’s lowkey MAD ?? that a dude had the audacity. but he’s just glad that you’re happy just maybe,, don’t go on omegle anymore 💀

“love— next time, let me in on your tiktoks.” he says, running a thumb along your cheek lightly. because he was actually quite entertained, putting everything aside

bakugou katsuki

as if bakugou katsuki would let you go on OMEGLE, a place that’s known for having the sketchiest people to ever exist— but make it virtual

but being with you made him realize that well,, if you want to do something, you’ll go through lengths just to do it.

even the great bakugou katsuki can’t really stop you. whatever makes you happy— but oh, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t highly discourage it

which lead you to go on omegle for a tiktok in the other room, while bakugou exercised in the very next room.

when you told him that you wanted to film a tiktok, bakugou only shrugged— “don’t do overly dumb shit.” was what he only told you and he left the door open too

you then set up your phone and laptop, applied the appropriate tags— and went off to make your tiktok

you only filmed the interesting encounters, and the people you met on there were very diverse in personality and just,, in general.

after the 4th encounter, then came a rather interesting dude. he didn’t seem all that ordinary but he wasn’t spectacular. he was just nice

and the conversation was rather normal— until he started asking for your socials “putting everything aside, do you have social media? you’re really cute.”

you reject immediately, “oh no, i appreciate your words but— i already have a boyfriend.”

you just have to hope that he noticed bakugou walking back and forth with equipment, but with his next words— that doesn’t seem to be the case

“i didn’t see anyone back there, a simple no would’ve been sufficient instead.” uh oh

“no really, i—” and before things escalated, katsuki’s head peaked through the door frame, freshly out of the shower “are you almost done, idiot?”

the dude literally looked behind you, and thought “oh shit, their boyfriend is bakugou fucking katsuki.” because bakugou is famous for,, multiple different reasons

the dude’s camera shakes in terror, “oh uhm,, it was nice meeting you!” not long before he dips from of the conversation, never to be seen again.

closing your laptop— you end the tiktok while bursting into laughter, and this action just confused katsuki ever further. he heard you speaking to someone, and when he looked, the person was nowhere to be seen

“what are you laughing at??”

“nothing katsuki, i was laughing at the tiktok i just made.”

then— you figured that it would be best to tell katsuki now that you were on omegle (long story short, he wasn’t pleased)

he scolded you that you shouldn’t be on omegle, but let’s be honest, he couldn’t stay mad at you— so he just cuddles the frustration away

when you upload the tiktok the following hours, it blows up pretty quickly—with comments like “LOL IS THAT BAKUGOU KATSUKI??” “he had guts until he saw bakugou katsuki 💀” “tbh i’d be scared too”

and when you report the news the katsuki, he smirks— “as he should be.”

midoriya izuku

at this point, izuku is very much used to your shenanigans on tiktok. he’s very supportive of whatever you do all in all

but, about omegle,,, yeah,, as much as he trusts you— he does not trust omegle. he’s aware that it’s a shady place, and he doesn’t advise that you do go on that website bc he cares

so when you brought up the tiktok idea, he proposed that he’d be there, right beside you just to monitor if anyone’s being weird :)

and that’s great! because you also wanted to ask if he wanted to be a reoccuring guest in your tiktok— and of course, what kind of boyfriend would he be if he opposed?

he helps you set up your laptop and phone— all of that sort of stuff, and then you guys were off to make an interesting tiktok

oh, but izuku did apply the appropriate tags because he didn’t want you to see odd things he was secretly nervous but,, you were very ethusiastic, so he was too.

the first several people were interesting in their own way— especially with their reactions to your boyfriend appearing on screen

usually, they’d back off with, and comment on how cute your boyfriend is— wishing the both of you well before calmly leaving to meet new people,

that was how it was, until you met this person in particular.

he sounded very,, egotistical— i wouldn’t say that because you’ve just met the dude, but he acted like everyone wanted him or it sounded like that

then he says, “you definitely have a phone number, right? you’re cute, just my type.” wkdksmd this is awkward since izuku’s right beside you, but he’s just outside of the frame

then, izuku pops out of the frame— in all his cute ass glory, he gives a small wave to the not so pleased stranger

“please, that’s your boyfriend?” he scoffs, “with those arms, he looks like he could be your little brother! now let me ask again—”

it’s really weird?? because have you seen izuku’s gainz?? and this dude’s audacity is extraordinary.

but little did this guy know, he’s looking at midoriya izuku— and,, you’ve seen his performance in the sports festival.

the dude takes another glance at your boyfriend, who’s sitting there right beside you— and he realizes who he was talking to

“oh shit, you’re—” and before the both of you could realize it, he nopes out of the conversation.

after that encounter, you burst into a fit of laughter— the look on izuku’s face being priceless. “you should’ve seen your reaction!”

“haha, i guess he knew who i was,” he says bashfully, cheeks warming up. because it registered in his mind that people actually knew who he was. “can you,, upload the tiktok later? i want to hug you— i mean! if that’s fine.”

of course it’s fine! you oblige, and give him all the hugs he could ever need

after cuddling with izuku, you do upload the tiktok— and an hour later, your tiktok notifications blow up

the tiktok all in all gathered 1M views, 780K likes, and over 1,500 comments— most of them saying stuff like

“your boyfriend’s reaction was so cute?? i know he looked like he was going to punch him through the screen but 👀” “last dude was just not it.” “LMAO HE REALLY TRIED IT” “is your boyfriend IZUKU MIDORIYA??”

when you excitingly showed him the tiktok’s results, he was certainly pleased— because most of the comments were positive, and also because the tiktok’s results made you happy

“i’m glad that it did well!” he’ll sigh in relief, pressing a kiss against your temple, let’s just not go on there ever again

Amphibia season 1 rewatch + notes :)

So I just finished rewatching the ENTIRE season 1 of Amphibia and I have some notes on the episodes that stood out to me! There are some quick notes, a couple lengthy analyses and even some headcanons sprinkled in! It's like a written stew of season 1! I'll be doing a written Amphiba stew for season 2 too!!

It's kinda long so you could just skip this or hit the keep reading button and give it a read! 

S1: E2 Cane Crazy

Anne shows general disregard over other people's things

(Mimicking Hop Pop and breaking his cane, throwing all the wood carving things that Loggle made, even a coo coo clock that she even said was nice (And for him to say it took 20 years to make right after she broke it))

S1: E2 Flood, Sweat and Tears 

Anne would be the WORST during sleepovers and I LOVE IT!!! My girl is just being a tween, staying up late, playing would you rather and keeping everyone else up. I think that's ADORABLE and now I'm thinking about how sleepovers might've been back home with her, Sasha and Marcy… 

She also just stays up late in general?? She reads dumb magazines and eats CRUNCHY snacks. She is really just 13,,,

And it looks like Sprig does it too, not as much as Anne (probably because he is younger than her) but it seems like it has to be in his terms. Before, he looked to be annoyed with it when he was trying to sleep. But, if he was awake, like in the beginning or at the end of the episode, he had no problem staying up playing would you rather!!! 

S1: E3 Hop Luck 

Anne: Old things are dumb! 

And 

Anne:* violently GRABS Sprig and shoves him against the wall* don't you DARE talk about pineapple in my pizza… Ever…

Anne: 

Sprig: 

Anne: Okay! Let's go get these ingredients! 

HHHH ANNE!!! I love this funky little child SO MUCH!!! 

Hop Pop loves these kids so much that he was willing to put aside his old, traditional family recipes in exchange for making pizza with them. My heart is gonna explode I'm-

Anne please don't make your surrogate frog brother get married just to get some pizza dough I'M BEGGING YOU-

S1: E3 Stakeout 

Hop Pop: I'm a crisp 68!

Is Hop Pop actually 68 or does he mean more of 68 going on 80 68? Either way he looks great! 

Anne has Blam Berry Blitz ("the drink that punches you in the face and doesn't stop") in her bag along with all the OTHER stuff we already saw (air pump, toe nail clipper, pencils, cat toys, bath bombs, etc)

Anne is officially those friends that have EVERYTHING in their bag no matter what. 

I really like the relationship between Anne and Hop Pop, how they both in some way yearn for what was but in different ways (Anne wanting to go home and Hop Pop's olden ways when he was a little pollywog) but are still similar in how they try to remember. They try and try and try to keep what little family/friends they have safe and protected. They love the relationships they've formed with other people (And with each other) and would go great lengths to help and protect them!

Also I MAY be looking way too into it buuuut was Boulder-Tron (that rock dude that Polly hallucinated at the end) supposed to foreshadow Frobo??

S1: E4 Taking Charge 

Okay quick one, Anne nearly having a whole ass panic attack when her phone dies because she couldn't look at her photos or videos of home actually made me sad. This girl is only a CHILD and her entire home and everything is gone and she for real thought she couldn't ever get it back,,, 

Hop Pop: I mean, the part where the island itself is revealed to actually be…!

Sprig: No! 

Polly: Don't!

Anne: Spoilers 

I dunno why and again, I MIGHT BE LOOKING TOO DEEPLY INTO THIS, but maybe this is foreshadowing something with the land of Amphibia? That maybe there is more to this crazy land than we know? Maybe even a reason it, along with all the other universes even exists??? 

S1: E5 Breakout Star 

AHSBWJOA ONLY EPISODE 5 AND ANNE ALREADY HAS HER PHONE'S LOCK SCREEN OF THE PLANTER FAMILY I'M-

S1: E7 Dating Season 

Anne said that ⅔ of ALL soul mates start out as "just friends" 

…

I'm looking at you, team Sashannarcy 

S1: E7 Anne vs. Wild 

Hop Pop's behavior at the end of the episode when Anne finally shows them the calamity box is awfully sus…

He doesn't say anything but "may I?" To inspect the box and then is like "Nope, never seen it" I just feel like he knows something and then adding onto it with the whole burying it to protect his family just sounds like… he definitely knows something, maybe not a lot but there is something he's not telling the others 

Also, why would a book that HE has have information on the Calamity box?? 

(I fully support the Dr. P was a Planter and also possibly the pink frog who was friends with King Andrias theory)

S1: E10 Toad Tax 

At this point, Anne said that she has already been in Amphibia for over a month now. 

(And damn, Sasha's been in prison for like a month,,, yikes)

Also Hop Pop teaching Anne how to pay taxes is so adorable, she really is part of this family now guys,,,

And I love how Anne was able to win over the Wartwood people by being her natural, charming and not to mention caring self. Anne, like Marcy and Sasha, can be selfish because honestly what kid, especially a 13 year old, isn't. 

But what matters is that she always tries to make up for it. 

Yes she did join the arguably sketchy toads into getting the taxes from everyone in order to feel somewhat included in ANYTHING, but while she was doing it, she knew it was wrong. Anne knew it was wrong and tried to give back some of the stolen stuff. Hell, even at the end she risked her safety to protect people she felt didn't even LIKE her, like, Anne literally broke her arm from them because that's just how Anne is. 

S1: E10 Prison Break 

I always forget how like,,, SUPER cunning Sasha is. I mean, she was able to talk FIVE toads into quitting within a WEEK as a PRISONER. Like?? 

Grime: That's not a bird. It's a heron, a murderous predator that happens to love the taste of flesh 

Sasha: Cute 

The lines in this show I'M-

So Anne was a varsity tennis player and Sasha was a cheerleader and did Tai Chi. I still can't believe they were both jocks,,, 

(Well, Sasha I get but Anne? Sweet ol' lil baby with the lanky limbs Anne???) 

Hey um, why the FUCK does Grime have acid spit?

Sasha: *looking at photo of her, Anne, and Marcy* Hold on for a little longer, girls. I'm coming for you. And when I find you, we're gonna get home. But first, I think we're gonna have some fun with this place 

Okay so this line right here. Now I may not be even remotely correct but this line, this last piece of dialogue spoken by Sasha right before the episode ends leads me to believe that she… doesn't take this world seriously. 

At least not yet. 

I think the 3 girls all see Amphibia differently: Anne as more of an obstacle, a wall preventing her from being home, Marcy sees it as an escape from her life with constant stimuli, and Sasha, she sees it as just really another thing to control. Everyone and their mothers know that Sasha can be a little more than controlling and we all know that she liked being lieutenant just a little too much. 

This world is interesting to Sasha, not in the interesting that Anne sees it (who is interesting in the new people and the relationships she's formed) or Marcy (who is also interested in the relationships she's formed along with the thirst for knowledge and again, the constant stimuli in an environment where she isn't stifled and allowed to flourish). 

No, Sasha sees Amphibia as interesting because it gives her something to control. In a world that is not your own, a world that you will leave eventually, who would actually FOLLOW the rules put in place there? Especially a 13 year old who is basically like a war commander who, even if she does do something wrong or breaks a rule or two, the only person who might even dare to stop her is Grime, and even then, he might just encourage it because it is season 1 and they aren't that close and he doesn't really care for Sasha at this point. 

She also is actually very logical. Everything she does in Amphibia, all the morally questionable things she does, it is always for the same reason (or at least at first), to get her and her girls home. Wanting to sacrifice and kill Hop Pop at the end of season 1? Well The toads had promised if she helped, they'll help her find Marcy and bring the 3 of them home. She cares for Anne and Marcy SO MUCH that she is willing to go great lengths to help keep them safe. 

But even though Sasha didn't really care about anyone in Amphibia besides Anne and Marcy at first, it doesn't mean she won't ever. We see countless times throughout season 2 of Sasha caring. She feels regret with her impending betrayal on Anne and Marcy, she cares enough to try and warn Anne about King Andrias' evil plans. Hell, even in the season 3 intro we see her and Grime at Wartwood and it looks like they're gonna be starting another rebellion against the king to help all the amphibians in Amphibia. 

I just really like watching Sasha's appearance and knowing what will happen in the future with her character. 

S1: E13 Trip to the Archives 

Anne: I get this place. It's like a library from my world. Zoo books and manga, here I come! 

So whenever Anne goes to the library, presumably with Sasha and Marcy, she'd go straight to books on animals and manga probably while Marcy did whatever work they needed (if Anne's dialogue in season 2 with Marcy always doing the work for their group projects was anything to go off on)

I dunno, I think that's kinda cute that Anne liked reading books on animals and probably reading all the manga that Marcy recommended. 

Maybe Anne and Sasha would sit right next to each other while Marcy worked and read fun manga together and cackle with each other while Marcy tried SO HARD to concentrate and NOT infodump to them because she's read that specific manga 20 times and HAVE YOU GOTTEN TO THAT ONE PART WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER GOES- 

S1: E15 Wally and Anne

MOSS MAN!! 

When Anne wakes up in the middle of the night and goes to grab Wally at town square, her hood is up and it's dark. The only thing we can make out of her face are…

Glowing blue eyes.

Glowing eyes that share an uncanny resemblance to the moss men.

And Anne loves doing elaborate, silly handshakes? That's so CUTE! Too bad none of her friends liked them as much as she did :( 

When they finally reached the foggy mountain place, Anne noticed glowing blue butterflies and started to follow them, which led her right to the moss man.

WAIT ANNE ALSO DID ROCK CLIMBING BACK HOME?? FUCKING JOCK!!!

S1 E20 Reunion 

Okay I WAS about to say that there wasn't anything to say about this last episode that hasn't already been said before BUT

The last couple moments, when Anne is holding Sasha off the cliff and trying to pull her up with the Planters, there's a couple interesting shots that I would like to talk about. 

While the Planters were holding onto Anne, they say things like "Hang on, Anne! We got you no matter what!" 

And even when the stone cliff starts to chip and break, none of the frogs back off, they don't loosen their grips, they just keep holding onto Anne. 

And they will never let go. 

Because they love her. Because in only 3 months, Anne was able to get a surrogate frog family and dozens of other frog friends in Wortwood. Because Anne has this amazing support system both literally and metaphorically. Because Anne is Anne. And Sasha...

Isn't like Anne. 

Matt Bradly himself even said that both Sasha and Anne are different from Anne, Anne is the heart, the emotional connection in their logical worlds. Anne can make so many friends so easily and Sasha… Sasha became a war genral, she lost a fight against the one person who she thought would never fight back. 

Sasha doesn't have what Anne has. She doesn't have the kind of skills to make such strong relationships, the kind where you risk your life for the other, in such a short amount of time. 

Hell, they even play a song called "Lean on Me", Anne has people to lean on and they would lean on her just the same. She found these people, made these friends, formed amazing relationships, in only THREE months. 

"Maybe you're better off without me"

And Sasha was only dragging her down. 

Sasha loves Anne, she cares for her and would do anything to protect her. That's why she let go. She didn't want to drag Anne down, to hurt her more than she already has. 

Sasha would do anything for Anne, even die. 

Over all notes: 

Season 1 is SUPER FUNNY!! The lines hit and they don't rely on toilet humor to get the audience to laugh. They use great one liners and physical humor that isn't fart or butt jokes. They do an excellent job on showing how crazy the world of Amphibia is through humor like how the animals are always eating each other. 

I really like how the characters were crafted so carefully! And the storyline!!! You could notice things that get explored in season 2 and I can't WAIT to see how many bread crumbs were left to lead up to season 3!

HOW DOES ANNE KEEP SO MANY THINGS IN HER BOOK BAG??? 

That stuff is in her SCHOOL BAG, why would she bring it to school??? So far I've got an air pump, toe nail clippers, pencils, cat toys, bath bombs and an energy drink. WHY??? I wonder if she held on to any of Sasha or Marcy's things too or ever forgot to give them back

Also again, I'M STILL IN SHOCK OF ANNE BEING A JOCK. I don't even know why I am, I knew she played sports and stuff it's just,,, she's so lanky,,, 

Her and Sasha are jock buddies and WILL shove other jocks in lockers if they ever pick on their nerd Marcy.

I also am in LOVE with Hop Pop's screams lmao

Be ready for an analysis of season 2! 

[littleoddwriter]

So in the comics, Sionis's skull mask is actually NOT a mask and the result of him cutting off his face. What about a story where Roman entrusts with Zsaz with disfiguring him?

Perfection | Roman Sionis x Victor Zsasz | ZsaszMask

1) Anon, please, you need to tell me what comic you saw/read this in, because I've read pretty much all of the ones Roman is in and it's always a mask (he's called Black Mask for a reason after all). It's usually just fused with his face because it was burned to it.

So, I'm genuinely just curious in which comic book version he cut his face off, because I'm not aware of it, fjdhfjkskfsl. And I need to read it. Please, dhjgsdjfhsf.

2) This turned more into a character study, whoops. I hope it's still to your liking anyway. Thank you so much for the request, it was super interesting and it totally got out of hand again... (cue no one being surprised).

I hope you enjoy! :)

summary; see above.

notes; TW / CW // Dissociation; Delusion; Psychosis; Visual Hallucination; Murder; Violence; Blood; Cutting; Disfiguration; Scars; Identity Death. That should be everything important.

A/N: Also, Roman suffers from BPD, like always in my Fics, so that's where this is all coming from, as I headcanon that it started out as the general symptom of having a distorted sense of self, and developed into a delusion, and then he suffered a psychotic break with hallucinations and such, resulting in his disfiguration.

[And remember that psychosis is a very serious thing and that I'm not using it lightly here. Psychotic people suffer. They're not bad people for having psychosis. They deserve love and respect. Don't use it against people, don't disrespect them with it and do not under any circumstances use it as a synonym for evil. Thanks.]

Everybody knew just how much Sionis cared about his perfect looks. Always, at any time, he had to look and be presentable, and he had to be perfect doing it. His parents had drilled it into him from an early age on, not caring much about anything about him, other than his appearance. He was one of the faces of Janus Corp after all. He had to be perfect in order to make the cosmetics sell better.

Still, when Roman looked in the mirror he couldn’t recognise himself. It was as though he was staring at a stranger. He painted his face and took great care of it; always making sure it looked immaculate. It didn’t help the disconnection he felt from it, though.

Sometimes it only made it worse, because really – he was just putting on a mask, wasn’t he? He made himself look absolutely perfect, so that others couldn’t possibly see what was underneath the surface.

He was a cruel and sadistic man, one with many issues, and a crime boss behind his businessman persona. That was all him, but it also wasn’t.

No, this cruel man was Black Mask.

The persona he’s made up to make a name of himself in Gotham’s underbelly. That was who he really was. Not Roman Beauvais Sionis. No, that man was just a mask that his parents had constructed and that he’s kept up all his life in a desperate attempt to gain approval and respect.

But every single day, one more crack appeared on this mask, and another piece broke off on worse days. Soon, none of this ‘Roman Sionis’ would be left.

He could feel it.

He could see it.

When he looked in the mirror, all he could see then was this broken mask, an empty shell, waiting to fully break apart and let the inside rear its ugly head to its fullest.

Some days even, he would sit in front of his vanity and look at himself for a while, seeing the way he cracked and broke apart slowly, but surely, how his skin was crawling with the feeling of it. It made him itch. He desperately needed to get it off.

So far he hasn’t dared to do it, though. He couldn’t make himself take a knife and just carve into this fleshy mask.

He hated the way he hesitated every time.

This mask didn’t mean anything.

It was just an unnecessary hurdle he had to overcome to be who he really was, to the fullest.

He’s already made a good progress of realising himself with the Black Mask, but it was just there to hide his perfect exterior, to seem more malicious, to protect his precious skin.

That particular night, he’s worn his Black Mask and had gotten into a nasty fight with some other criminals. While Zsasz and his other goons were usually so good at keeping him out of it, this time wasn’t so.

Victor had been busy fighting off three men at once – and really, Roman admired the way he’s overpowered them after all, soaked in their blood, three new tallies on his skin. It was magnificent. Zsasz was so gorgeous to him. He knew who he was; he had no qualms about whether or not he looked perfect. He wore each tally as though it was a medal – and in a way, Roman guessed it was. Sionis envied him – this freedom Zsasz had that he so desperately wanted.

Black Mask had been attacked by two men of his rival. He had tried shooting them, but one of them managed to knock his revolver out of his hand. It was okay, he wasn’t entirely incompetent when it came to hand-to-hand combat after all. Still, that didn’t mean he liked it.

During the fight, he’s taken some punches to the face, which was fine; the mask saved him of some of the damage. But then one of the muscles took it off his head, leaving him vulnerable. He hated it. It enraged him. His rage caught on fire, bursting into roaring flames. He went to beat them up with more fervour. He didn’t care anymore. He just wanted them dead.

And he did kill them, after one of them had swung a knife at him, slashing his left cheek. He wrestled it out of the guy’s hand and stabbed them both in the neck, watching with cold eyes as they bled out right in front of him.

The turmoil around him and Victor had started dying down by then. Eventually, they were able to go back home, death and victory hanging fresh in the air, excitement buzzing under their skin. And for that one night, Roman hadn’t even cared that there was a cut on his otherwise immaculate face, or that it would most likely heal into a nasty scar.

Of course, that hadn’t lasted very long.

The next morning, he had started crying because of it, too upset over his ruined skin, the evidence that his mask was slowly but surely breaking apart. He couldn’t stand it.

When the cut had healed, though, and it was merely a pink scar, and not as ugly as he had expected, it was easy to cover it up with make-up. He did that for a while, until he seemed to have reached his breaking point.

Roman has just gone through his usual nightly routine, which always took way too fucking long anyway for the fact that he’d never look as perfect as he wanted – no, not wanted – felt like he had to. And like so often, he just sat there in front of his vanity and looked at himself, staring at his face.

Was it really his face? He just couldn’t tell.

Was that really what he looked like? He didn’t feel like it.

It was just all wrong, so far away, not him.

No, that was underneath.

Everything important was only skin deep.

Or was it?

What if everything important was under the skin?

What if skin was nothing but a fucking hindrance?

What if perfection was nothing but an illusion? He was sure that it was.

Perfection didn’t exist.

Nothing and no one was perfect. He should know. While his parents tried to appear as though they were above everyone else, they really weren’t. They struggled with the fact that the Wayne’s were above them financially, but also as humans. Roman’s parents haven’t ever felt human to him at all. All affection was nothing but a lie, all ‘perfect and happy family’ was nothing but a show.

So no, perfection didn’t exist.

Then why did he even bother conforming to something that was only a construct anyway?

No more, though.

As he looked at himself in the mirror, it had become distorted. That wasn’t unusual for him. It happened a lot, especially as of late. He saw the crumbling mask that was his supposed face. Pieces broke off, starting by the scar on his left cheek. Those pieces were falling away, revealing only darkness. It was as though one was breaking a porcelain doll’s face in. Hollow inside. But that wasn’t what he was. He wasn’t hollow. His true self just needed a little help to come out.

“Zsasz!” he shouted for his partner.

It felt far away, as though someone else had shouted it, someone that wasn’t him. But then again, this wasn’t who he really was anyway.

“Boss?” Zsasz came into his dressing room.

He didn’t take his eyes off the mirror, looking at Victor through that.

“I need you to help me with something. You’re the only one I trust to do it right,” he stated, holding up the carving knife Zsasz usually used to peel off faces and slit throats on his command.

Victor looked at the knife and then back at him, looking confused. “D’you need me to kill someone?” he asked, unsurprisingly.

“No- well, technically yes, but not really,” he answered cryptically.

“Uh, sure, alright. Whatever you need me to do, I’ll do it, boss.” Zsasz was always so fucking loyal and obedient. It was truly lovely. That was exactly why he trusted him with it – and because Victor’s knife skills were definitely superior to his own.

“Good boy,” he purred and let Zsasz take the knife from him. “I need you to ruin this,” he continued, gesturing his hand around his face in circles to let Victor know exactly what he was talking about.

“Your face?” He nodded. “Are you sure, Roman?”

“Don’t call me that,” he hissed angrily, “And fucking do as I say! Ruin my face. I trust you to do it right and not have this body end up dead. ‘Kay?”

He didn’t know if Zsasz understood what he was on about, although it was so very clear to him, he couldn’t fathom the possibility of someone like Victor Zsasz not getting it.

“Alright, sure. Whatever you want,” Victor murmured then, “I need you to turn around, though. I can’t reach you well like this.”

Nodding, he turned around in his seat, facing Victor, who stood beside him on his right. “Go on then.” He twirled his hand, index finger up, for emphasis, like he always would.

In a way, he felt giddy with excitement, although some underlying anxiety lingered beneath it all. It would be okay, though. He was certain of it.

This was right.

This was what was supposed to happen.

Zsasz took a deep, steadying breath. Then he pressed the blade’s point against his right cheek. For a moment he didn’t do anything else, looking him over, giving him an exit to all of this. But he was so absolutely certain of himself in that moment; he wasn’t going to back out.

Not this time.

“Do it, Victor,” he ordered with a steady voice, conviction clear in it.

Nodding, Zsasz put pressure on the knife and pressed the tip into his skin, drawing a three inch line down his cheek with it. He didn’t react to the pain. He couldn’t feel it. He was so disconnected from it all.

Zsasz continued to slice into his face’s skin, making bigger and smaller cuts, all deep enough to scar, just like he did for his tallies. Blood was oozing out of them, running down his face, his chin, falling on his precious pyjamas – those with his face on it. It was alright, though. He wouldn’t need them after this anymore, anyway.

Eventually, Victor stopped cutting. “Is that enough, boss?” he asked.

He turned around and looked at himself in the mirror. He’d have to wear bandages over his face for a good while, that was for sure. It was worth it, though, because now it was perfectly ruined – disfigured.

Roman Beauvais Sionis was no more.

Due to the blood all over his face and running over his lips, he could only nod a little. He didn’t dare talk just yet.

Then Zsasz cleaned up all the cuts and bandaged them, making sure it was all safe and secure for the night.

While his face was slowly healing, Zsasz had inquired why he’d asked him to do it in the first place. He explained it to him and Victor understood – just like he knew he would. That was exactly why they were so strong together; why they had been meant for each other; why there was never a question about whether or not their relationship had been a good idea.

No one but Victor Zsasz could understand him. And no one but him could understand Victor.

When he was able to leave the bandages behind, Victor ran his fingers over the would-be scars. His eyes reflected the admiration and wonder he must have felt. It delighted him. He knew it had been right.

“Thanks for trusting me with it, by the way,” Victor had murmured that night as they lay in bed.

“Of course. No one else could have ever done what you have,” he replied, kissing his partner, “Thank you for not refusing to do it,” he added, his lips brushing against Zsasz’s as he talked.

“Anything for you, boss. Told you so.”

“I know. Still, saying something doesn’t always have to mean anything. Only actions truly say what words can’t.”

“Yeah, I s’ppose you’re right.”

It was just so easy to be with Zsasz. He couldn’t have possibly asked for someone better at his side.

The next morning, he looked in the mirror without any kind of bandaging and for the very first time in his life, he felt a connection to his mirrored image. He could finally see himself.

Now when he wore his Black Mask it wasn’t to hide, or to protect – no, it was only to symbolise his true self, put emphasis on it. He had nothing to hide anymore.

Perhaps perfection existed after all. Just not in the ways that society believed in.

He realised that, when he stared at himself in the mirror, in awe.

“Perfect,” Black Mask whispered, stroking his fingers over the scabs on his face.

And he truly was perfect.

[wakaoujisenhime]

In your opinion what jobs (besides playing basketball) do you think Gom and Kagami would have??

That’s a pretty interesting and hard question, my dear anon! Let me think and try to completely ignore the creator’s canon job choices for our dear boys (シ_ _)シ also I wasn’t sure if you wanted me to do some headcanon scenarios so I kinda mixed my answers and some short HC imagines!

━━━━☆ ━━━━☆ ━━━━☆

Kagami

ok so according to the Characters Bible he would’ve become a firefighter and I can actually see that

but if you ask me, he could’ve also become a professional cook who specializes in Western as well as East Asian cuisine

he’d never give up on basketball though, so Kagami would most likely continue playing street basketball in his spare time

Kuroko

the canon take on Kuroko’s job is a kindergarten teacher, which is understandable but doesn’t satisfy me that much

I always imagined him as a librarian and a freelance author, mainly because of his silent and observant nature as well as his love for books

the image of him sitting outside of Maji Burger in a blue cardigan, a pair of glasses on his nose, legs crossed, slurping on a vanilla milkshake while he thinks about his next book’s scenario just seems to fit him a hundred percent  

Kise

I still can’t understand why sensei chose to make him a pilot and where that idea even came from, but OK

Kise is, in my eyes at least, born for the stage...and with that, I don’t only mean that he’s the born movie actor, but he’s just made for the show business

theater, ads, series, late-night-shows, gaming shows, you name it

he’d try every single existing genre before picking his favorite and sticking to it (personally, I think he’d pick J-Dramas and the advertising of beauty products for both men and women)  

Midorima

CB says doctor and I couldn’t agree more

but I can also see him work as a teacher in chemistry, biology, and math OR he’d take an entirely different path and become a professional classical musician

no matter what job he does, he’ll take it very seriously and be very strict with himself or his students, but much like any other human being, Midorima would also have his vulnerable moments especially when he’s forgotten his lucky item

another thing I’d like to imagine is him having a secret blog dedicated to astrology and fortune-telling inspired by Oha Asa of course

Aomine

I can’t help but chuckle every time I remember that he would’ve become a police officer, but it does suit him in a way

in all honesty, it’s pretty hard to imagine him doing anything else except basketball, but I’d like to think that he has the potential in becoming an idol group’s manger

Aomine would usually take care of the more experienced female idol groups and appear to be quite the jokester to others, but his idols know just how hard he’s actually working for them

you know when friends/roommates etc. see their friend who’s fallen asleep somewhere random and they just giggle and cover them with a blanket? that’s 100% Aomine and his idols  

Murasakibara

Bible said pastry chef and I’m somewhat satisfied

if you ask me, not giving someone who loves sweets as much as Murasakibara an own bakery is a little sad, so I’d like to say that he owns one and functions as not only the owner but the main confectioner as well

have you ever heard of Buddy Valastro or seen his TV show “Cake Boss”? because that’s how I imagine our purple giant in the future

Akashi

he would’ve become a professional shogi player and I don’t even dare doubt that for even a split second

with a multi-talented young man like him who can basically do anything he wanted, I’d like to say that him being a professional rider would actually suit him way more

Akashi owns his own horse and loves it to bits and no matter which media you consider I think that he enjoys horseback riding the most since it gives him that sense of freedom he’s always longed for

Bucci Gang Headcanons!!!

I’m not really one to usually post this kind of stuff, but these are some lil headcanons my pal @jjadegreen and I have come up with while stuck in the same house during the quarantine!! 

These literally range from *probably would happen* to *fucking crack* so y’all have been warned...

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Giorno is one of those people that has a secret sweet-tooth. Like. An insane one where if he actually decides to indulge in it he cannot fucking stop. 

When he does go overboard, it’s usually because Bruno got his favourite ice cream flavour from the store and it’s always at some ungodly hour of the night.

He usually blames it on Mista somehow. Accidentally ate the entire tub of ice cream at 3am? No biggie. Just put the spoon on Mista’s bedside table while he’s asleep! 

Everyone blames Mista for it EVERY TIME and now he’s not allowed to eat any ice cream when they buy it. Mista thinks it’s the Sex Pistols because he swears he doesn’t remember doing it. 

Giorno just sits there like *sweats* “yeah uh no it had to be Mista, right? There’s definitely no one else it could be, right? Right??”

One time Abbacchio caught him in the act at like 4am and they have yet to bring it up.

He would spill Giorno’s big secret, but he really likes to see Mista suffer.

Narancia wears skirts sometimes and it’s not a big deal. He vibes, they all just vibe. No toxic masculinity here. 

Narancia is genuinely afraid of those “IF YOU DO NOT SEND TO 10 PEOPLE THIS WILL APPEAR AT THE END OF YOUR BED AT 3AM” emails.

One time he couldn’t do it because Bruno took his phone away and he sat in bed all night fucking trembling in fear of what chain mail monster would eat his face off this time.

Abbacchio hates geese. No one knows why. Not even Bruno.

Narancia’s real stand name IS Aerosmith, but he’s dead set on calling it Lil’ Bomber because “that’s his rapper name.”

Mista is lactose intolerant but he doesn’t know because he just thinks it’s normal to feel excruciating pain when you eat ice cream. 

“Like how pineapples hurt your mouth when you eat them.” -Mista probably

Bruno literally had to take him to the hospital one night because he inhaled too much ice cream and would not stop throwing up and Mista was like “wait this doesn’t happen to you??”

Trish hates butterflies because *fun fact!* butterflies often feed on not only nectar and fruit, but DECAYING CORPSES of animals! 

When she was a kid, she was walking in some alleyway and ran into a dead animal covered in butterflies. One landed on her arm and she fucking screamed. She will never look at them the same ever again...

Giorno loves to make things into butterflies when they all spend time together, and Trish literally has to suppress a shudder every time one goes near her.

Fugo is one of those people that is basically not afraid of anything, but when a fucking bee comes near him he will LOSE IT. He’s one of those people that will have to get up and run away from a bee when it flies near him.

If you tell him that it will leave him alone if he stops moving, he will punch you.

Giorno likes to make shit into bees sometimes just to fuck with him

Bruno does not like dogs. It probably stems from some childhood experience that went sour, but he does not care. He will be stone-faced during any mission or situation, but if a dog tries to jump up and greet him he will freak. The fuck. Out.

One time Narancia and Mista brought home a dog from the streets and mama Bruno was like “NOPE” and zipped himself out of existence.

Abbacchio found him locked in the closet under the stairs when he got home and made them get rid of it.

Leone was more of a cat person anyway.

Abbacchio eats raw pasta.

Fugo plays chess with himself. When Giorno joins the team he’s like “ugh finally an intellectual” but Giorno has literally never seen a fucking chess board in his life and is too scared to tell Fugo so he just keeps making up excuses as to why he doesn’t “have time” to play chess with him today.

Mista doesn’t shower but he has a BOMB-ass face-care routine. Even Trish is jealous. His face? Baby soft? Ten out of ten. The rest of him? Axe body spray out of ten.

Narancia went through a goth phase pre-canon. Abbacchio was not happy because Bruno kept referring to him as “little Abba” but he let Narancia use his good lipstick anyway.

Mista found his special hat in a street gutter on a rainy day and it matched his sweater so he decided to just keep it. Abbacchio does Trish’s makeup. They go to Sephora together. I don’t make the rules.

Giorno never really told anyone (besides Bruno) that he got his stand naturally so they all assume he got it from Polpo’s lighter and when he mentioned something off-hand about “when I was a kid Gold and I…” everyone’s just like “bitch hold up-”

Abbacchio wears coloured contacts and his ass literally cannot see without them. 

Yes they are expensive as fuck. He blows half his pay-check on them every month. 

One time he lost them right before a mission so he had to pull out his heavy prescription glasses from like 8th grade. They literally looked like this.

I think you can imagine the outcome

Growing up, Giorno only listened to three songs. 

The only reason he had access to these songs was because he found a really old Walkman on the side of the road when he was wandering around once. The tape only had three songs on it; Dancing Queen, It's Raining Men, and some song by Mozart. These were the three songs of Giorno’s childhood. 

He still has it and likes to listen to the tape when he gets sad

Narancia doesn’t know what a period is. Neither does Mista. 

Bruno forces everyone into the living room after overhearing this and makes them all watch one of those really awkward sex-ed videos from the 90s (you know the ones)

It was one of the worst days of their lives

They still have the tape and Narancia sometimes slips it in the VHS player when they all least expect it just to fuck with everyone

Bruno once held a capo meeting at their house (biggest mistake of his life) and all you could heard blasting through the walls of the other room was “YoUr bOdy MiGht Be gOiNg tHrOuGh sOmE cHaNgEs, fOr eXaMpLe yOuR P-”

On that note, Giorno was definitely that one kid who took notes during Sex-Ed

Abbacchio listens to Avril Lavigne

Giorno shaves his arms. It kind of started by accident but now he literally cannot stop or else his arms will look completely fucked up

Bruno has sensitive teeth. He can’t drink water that’s too cold cause it hurts his mouth. Abbacchio makes him tea :)

Fugo plays piano to help him with his anger. He would say that he plays saxophone too, but it’s more like violently screeching into the mouthpiece instead of actually playing it.

Narancia thinks that lesbian is a nationality

Even though Giorno lived in Japan for just a couple years, he’s still pretty fluent in the language because his mother would only speak Japanese to him growing up

The gang has no idea that Giorno is Japanese and when a foreigner is struggling Giorno just swoops in with perfect Japanese and they’re all just really confused.

Giorno doesn’t cry during movies or TV shows, but he’s one of those people who fucking BAWLS during video game credits

Mista and Narancia beat Ocarina of Time together and Giorno was watching from the sidelines and AS SOON as the credits started rolling there were tears.

When KK Slider starts to sing in Animal Crossing New Horizons and your character is brought into a music void and the credits start rolling he tears up just a little bit

Mista is squeamish around dead bugs. Not live ones. Dead ones and solely dead ones

Mista and Trish go thrifting. Mista goes to check the pockets of clothes for spare cash (cause he’s a broke bitch) and Trish goes to buy clothes

Everyone thinks that Mista doesn’t change his clothes but he actually just buys like 7 of the same outfit

Mista sneezes like a white sports dad. You know the sneeze.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Bonus Bruabba shit because Jade and I always go fucking HARD when talking about our local mafia dads:

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Bruno ties up the little strings on Abbacchio’s tiddy shirt every morning.

They got promise rings. Leone’s trying to find a nice time to actually propose but the gang keeps fucking it up every time they try to go on a nice date together

Bruno and Leone watch thunderstorms together

-The rest of the bucci gang stay inside and play monopoly or something when’s its stormy but these two bring out blankets and sit on the front porch and just be all soft and shit watching the lightning light up the sky and listening to the rain on the roof above them.

Bucciarati and Abbacchio have been mistaken as the following: 

Bruno as a woman and Abbacchio as a man. Abbacchio as a woman and Bruno as a man. Two lesbians. But never an actual gay couple.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Yeah so I have no idea what that was. These were taken from a google doc we have together that’s just all these jumbled, crack-filled headcanons just for fun. I’m sure you can sense the pure chaos in this. 

Go give my dude @jjadegreen a hello, sis made most of these!

uhhh let us know if you want any more from any other parts. Cause y’all know we probably got some. <3

We Need to Talk About Blake Belladonna

I’ve made a number of posts recently explaining how Adam successfully fooled parts of the fandom into thinking he was something he wasn’t, but now I want to talk about how he also successfully fooled parts of the fandom into thinking Blake is something she isn’t, because there are far too many people who seem to fundamentally misunderstand her character.

In order to make my point, I’m going to go through some of the words I’ve seen some of those people use to refer to Blake.

“emo”

This is one of the most common ones I see thrown around, and back at the beginning of the show I could see why. But it’s very telling when people continue to use “emo” to describe Blake even once we find out what Blake’s been through to make her into the person she is today, because it shifts the blame to her by dismissing her very real trauma she’s faced as just her being “emo.”

“shy”

This is the one that really clues me in that someone has zero clue who Blake actually is. Because you’d think that given her very first appearance is her sassing the hell out of Weiss, given the number of scalding roasts she’s delivered, given she openly brags about knowing how to disable military-grade security systems, and given when Weiss refers to her as the “quiet one” in V5 Blake literally corrects this very mistake herself, that people would realise that Blake isn’t shy. But I guess their desire to cling to their headcanons is stronger than their ability to pay attention to the show.

“quiet”/“passive”

This is the same woman who pointed out the persistence of Faunus inequality to Ozpin during her interview to get into Beacon, humiliated the school bully in the middle of a lesson in front of the entire class, set fire to her own house in order to win a fight, and tied up a racist asshole while threatening him with immense bodily harm and had to be held back by Velvet in After the Fall. Yes, she is so quiet and passive.

“privileged”/“entitled”/“pampered”

Lmao she grew up living rough on the road with her parents in the White Fang and has been attending marches, protests, etc. since she was a little child, not to mention they only got the big house after Ghira became the Chieftain of Menagerie meaning she wouldn’t even have lived in it hardly at all before she went home in V4 since she was once again living rough with Adam’s splinter group of the White Fang, so that doesn’t scan whatsoever.

“coward”

I saved the best until last, you’ll be pleased to know. Over the course of the show Blake has left her abuser on her own with no support system, signed up to risk her life protecting innocent people from the Grimm, chosen to try and stop the White Fang instead of staying out of the fight multiple times, put herself in danger by throwing herself between Yang and Adam and saving Yang’s life in the process, and faced her personal demon by herself on more than one occasion and gone toe to toe with him.

Those are not the actions of a coward, and falling back on an ingrained defence mechanism once because she saw someone she loved brutally maimed doesn’t make her a coward, especially not when she makes the decision to fix that mistake and stop running away.

Now we get to the main point, which is that if you consider for a moment, you’ll realise that almost all of those words are the kind of thing that Adam used to call Blake in order to put her down and dismiss her worth.

“Running away again? Is that what you've become, my love? A coward?”

“What you want is impossible!”

“Still too afraid to face me on your own.”

“Can you do anything besides run?!”

“But you're selfish! You're a coward!”

And several times in the show we see Blake parrot the same degradation that Adam used on her about herself. She calls herself a coward, consistently doubts her own judgement, and says that her Semblance is only good for running away, because Adam drilled those ideas into her head until she believed them herself.

The only reason that Blake is withdrawn and closed off at the start of the show is because she’s had to learn to be that way as a defence mechanism against Adam’s abuse. But it isn’t really who she is, and the countless glimpses we’ve seen of her true self from the very first episode of the show should have been enough for people to figure that out.

The whole point is that Adam is totally wrong in everything he says about Blake, and by extension she is totally wrong every time she beats herself up emotionally the same way he did because he made her question herself so much that she thought only his opinion of her was correct.

Anyone who took what Adam said and Blake then quoted about her character at face value and thought it was right either just missed huge swathes of the show and doesn’t have the faintest idea how to read between the lines, or just like Adam they want Blake to “behave” and so they use the same bullshit rhetoric and create faults in her that don’t exist to give them an excuse to hate her because she’ll never be the person they want and/or expect her to be.

To summarise for the Blake haters with the narrative comprehension of a turnip, here is a list of things that Blake is not and never has been:

emo

shy

quiet/passive

privileged/entitled/pampered

a coward

And here is a list of things that Blake is at least at the beginning of the show:

closed off

withdrawn

traumatised

No wonder y’all think her characterisation is “inconsistent” if you don’t even have the most basic understanding of what her core character traits actually are i.e. brave, compassionate, ambitious, and really goddamn dorky or the most basic knowledge of the effects that emotional abuse has on people in the first place.

Okay so I got an ask like,

anonymous asked: whose ur favorite Hazbin character? Like your absolute #1 and why?

and technically my answer is Alastor, but Sir Pent is such a close second that I gave my reasons for him too in that ask, and now I’m making a second post about Alastor.

Reasons I really like Alastor but like, only slightly more than Sir Pent:

- Honestly “I can suck ya dick” *IMMEDIATE BRAIN BREAK FACE* is probably the moment I, like, mentally latched on to Alastor’s character, and at that point I don’t think I even knew yet that the creator had said he was ace. It just... I could feel the aceness in my soul. Like that thing where Jedi run into somebody and go “oh you’re strong in the Force, I can tell.” That was just such a perfect and succinct ace joke, and by that I mean like it feels like a joke from an ace perspective. Like it was so relatable.

- tbh half my reasons for liking Alastor are “oh that’s relatable,” which is hilarious, because like... I don’t like characters because I relate to them, ever, but because I think they’re interesting in their strange/different ways. Alastor is the sole exception I can think of where half the reasons I like him is because I look at him and go “oh big mood.” Other ace or aro characters I’ve seen in the past just make me go “oh... okay. cool. nice, representation for me” and then I don’t really care about them. Alastor, though, the SECOND I learned he was ace, something in my brain went “FUCK YES. ONE OF OURS.” I immediately sat down and started writing a character study fic about Alastor being ace/aro in the exact same precise way that I’m ace/aro, and that was even before we got confirmation that he was aro. I was ready to go all in on him anyway.

- Half the reason I like his ace/aro-ness when I don’t care about it as much on other characters is because like... usually, when you get an ace/aro character, it goes one of two ways:

1) their entire character is built around/“in tune with” their ace/aro-ness, in a way. Most obvious when you have the stereotypical “robot/alien that cannot love,” but also seen in “character that is naive and pure and innocent and lustless,” “character that acts like an actual literal child,” “character that acts like a bad autism cliche,” “character that’s too cold or cruel or emotionless to feel love,” etc. And that’s boring, when they’re only ace/aro because the writer cannot imagine a character Like That being any other way, or because the writer cannot imagine an ace/aro being Any Other Way. 

Or, 2) they’re written as “too normal,” as in, like, NOTHING ABOUT THEIR PERSONALITY or life experiences or anything seems shaped AT ALL by the fact that they do not share an internal sense of lust and/or romance that most of the rest of the human species not only has, but also is obsessed with.

And Alastor falls in neither camp. He’s gregarious and talkative and puts on little performances wherever he goes, and he obnoxiously butts in on somebody else’s group project by begging for an opportunity to help out and then obnoxiously volunteers his friends who hate him to help with the group project, and he’s manipulative and dangerous and secretive and violent, and he hides his emotions and he disguises when he’s feeling weak... and also the quickest way to throw him off his game is to make a sexual pass at him because he’s blindsided so hard by it that it’s like for a moment there he forgot that sex exists.

And that’s what I want to see. A character whose personality isn’t based on/tied into his ace/aro-ness, BUT we can clearly see his character IS INFLUENCED by the fact that he views the world through a completely different lens from everyone else.

I can imagine that Alastor had to puzzle through What Is Love/What Is Desire, purely on a psychological “what’s going on inside other people’s heads?” level, as an outside observer incapable of participating it and trying to understand it based on anecdotes and fictionalized accounts and descriptions and conversations, comparing it to the emotions inside his own head and trying to go “so it’s kind of like this feeling plus that one and those, but More, and Different, and in that Other Direction.” I can imagine that as a kid Alastor “decided” to have crushes because he knew it was about that time it should be starting, and it hadn’t happened by then, so maybe what he needs to do is pick whoever he thinks is best-looking and get going with the crushing on them, right? I can imagine that Alastor spent his teen years waiting for his desires to “turn on” the way they did for everyone else, and being slightly puzzled when they took so long, but also okay with it because the more he thought about it the more it seemed like it was probably a nuisance—no one around him was someone he’d like to be attracted to—so he was fine with the fact it was taking so long, and he sort of assumed that it wasn’t because he didn’t have the capacity for desire but because none of his peers were desirable to him. I can imagine that he had his first kiss at like fifteen and thought it was horrible and gagged on it, and within an hour decided this was absolutely hilarious.

I can imagine Alastor having all these experiences—which are experiences I had. I’ve never seen another ace/aro character I can easily and naturally imagine having a single experience in common with me. Because no other ace/aro characters feel to me like ace/aro characters. They’re either characters with an ace/aro sticker arbitrarily and meaninglessly slapped on them, or they’re a walking stereotype about lovelessness.

- Besides Alastor’s spectacular Asexuelle Panique™ face, the other single line that made me latch onto him was “Why does anyone do anything? Sheer! Absolute! Boredom!” There are some very specific character types that I’m an absolute sucker for, and one of them is: extremely powerful character, at the top of their game, unstoppable and uncontrollable and unmatched, a loner who likes it that way, BUT they’re bored as hell, either because they’ve met all their goals or because they don’t know how to set any—and the boredom is eating them up inside, it’s driving them slowly mad, the sheer tedium of trying to fill one day after another with nothing to do is weighing down on them, if depression is usually compared to a heavy rain then this depression is like an endless empty waiting room, or depression like solitary confinement, or depression like an unmoving sun shining on an infinite flat desert, the depression of a completely empty hollow life leveled flat by infinite interminable boredom, a boredom they would do ANYTHING to get rid of, a boredom that’s like a withdrawal, a boredom that makes your hands shake and your pulse quicken with desperate need for the drug to stave off the withdrawal symptoms, but god, you don’t even know what the drug IS, you just know you NEED it, some form of stimulation, ANY stimulation, you’re going mad in this empty desert with your hands trembling and the withdrawal clouding your mind—

Have I mentioned that I have ADHD? Did you know that untreated ADHD can result in depression specifically due to chronic mental understimulation? I keep telling myself “bruh, don’t headcanon Alastor as having ADHD, you don’t even headcanon that he has any other traits that line up with ADHD symptoms,” but like. That one line. “Sheer! Absolute! Boredom!” I felt that in my very bones. There is desperation in that man. There is desperation in him that speaks to me like nothing else does. Like to the point that if it turns out that Alastor secretly DOES have a secret evil manipulative scheme going on I’m going to be annoyed/disappointed specifically because his driving motive isn’t boredom, lmao.

Anyway I feel for characters like that. I like to explore that desperate despairing boredom. I like to force them through that understimulation withdrawal, drive them to do stupid wild desperate things to try to get the stimulation they need. And then, when I’m feeling nice, I like to help them find a cure. Usually I imagine the cure is “dude, you’re such a loner that you’ve cut yourself off from the rest of the human race, you have NO human connections, even when you’re technically interacting with other people you’re still completely emotionally isolated inside your own shell. Make some goddamn friends and start to care about other people and their lives and you’ll find that the act of having other people exist in your world who matter to you will give you that stimulation you’re desperately missing.” Because these desperately bored characters are also desperately emotionally isolated. And they might be happy/content in their isolation—but they’re not doing anything to cure their own understimulation like that.

(“Hey OP is that how you cured your understimulation?” nah I got ADHD meds.)

- Remember everything that I just said about how much I love that Alastor is aro? Well forget everything I just said. Chuck it out the window. Bye.

So every once in a while I find a character that, for whatever reason, I really, really, really want to see pining. I want them to be in love, and I want it to be unrequited, and I want it to go on for years. I want them sobbing in private and then hiding it completely when they face anyone else. I want them to hurt so bad they feel like they can’t breathe. I want them unable to think about anything but their beloved. I want it festering inside them like an infected wound. I want it to hurt. Forever.

(“Hey OP do you uh, do you ever, yknow, want them to get their loved one?” yeah sure whatever)

For some reason, Alastor is one of those characters. Why? I dunno. I haven’t figured out my mental pattern on these ones yet. Maybe it’s specifically because it’s so incongruous with his outward appearance/and attitude. Maybe it’s because he’d do a really really good job at hiding it, but also I think he’s probably kind of a mess inside under his mask, and I think adding unrequited desire under that mask would mess him up anymore in really spectacular ways. Like a china cabinet that shifted in an earthquake so that if you open all the doors all the plates will fall out and break, except they’re already all broken inside of the china cabinet, but he’s in denial about that as long as he doesn’t open the door. I dunno, I’m speculating.

- On that note: I feel like he’s probably, like, hypercompetent and super powerful and super successful on the outside, but actually he’s a sort of screwed up dork who’s got no idea what he’s doing. (I present the furby organ as supporting evidence.) I like extremely powerful deeply feared dorks, ESPECIALLY when they have no idea what they’re doing.

- Also, affable villains. Totally friendly/sociable and totally evil.

- I dig his weird radio schtick. Like, Radio Stuff isn’t a thing I specifically like about characters, but on him I think it’s cool. Character gimmicks that can go a lot of ways and that you can do a lot of stuff with in character development are fun.

I think that covers all the important bases.

[blue-haired-grace]

For the fan-fic writer questions: what is your favorite fic that you’ve written? What are some headcannons you have for your favorite character to write? I also saw you mention OCs! If you feel like it, could you share a little about them? I love hearing about people’s OCs!! No pressure to answer all of these!

First of all, I apologize for not responding to this sooner. When I was writing my reply for the first time (it was quite long and almost finished), my computer became unplugged and since my computer is really old, the battery doesn’t work anymore. Whenever my computer isn’t plugged in, it won’t turn on or it’ll immediately shut off. I was REALLY upset when this happened and I lost my entire reply to your Ask; looking at my computer and my own stupidity for not using a Word document first was getting on my nerves so I needed a break.

Second of all, AAAAHHHH SOMEBODY ELSE SENT ME AN ASK!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! YOU’RE AMAZING!!!!! <3 <3 <3 *coughs* Sorry, got a bit overexcited there. Thank you for sending in an Ask! I don’t get very many in, so I’ll respond to all of the questions as best as I can! <3

 What is your favourite fic that you’ve written? : Oof, this early on and we’re already picking favourites? :D I’ll have to go with, “Right Now”, written for Day 3 of Commander Fox Week. I spent the most time working on this one, so it more perfected than the other two I’ve done so far. I like how I portrayed Fox as having to be cold and uncaring because of the position he’s in, but he still cares even if he doesn’t know how to show it all the time. I’ve received praise for my depiction of grief, so that was a major sigh of relief for me. I also got to write my first OC, who has garnered positive attention and has led to me writing a series of one-shots based off of him and his squad. It may be the one that has gotten the least amount of attention on the sites I’ve posted it, but I’m still very proud of it and the attention it has gotten.

What are some headcanons you have for your favourite character to write? : I’ll be doing Fox. He’s the character I’ve written the most. If you’d like headcanons of other characters, just send in another ask (shameless, I know)! 1. Fox doesn’t like Palpatine. There’s just always been something... off about him. Palpatine feels manipulative and slimy to Fox, even in the earlier times of the war and it only got worse as it went on. From what Fox has observed, he also felt that Palpatine’s relationship with Anakin was a bit disturbing. 2. This headcanon is inspired by @koyacyi-vode. Fox’s remaining batchmates are Cody and Wolffe. The three are very close and take care of each other as much as they can. They are also the only two of Fox’s brothers who can ALWAYS tell when he’s lying. Whenever Cody or Wolffe (or both, but it’s rare) are on Coruscant, they always will meet up with Fox. Whether to annoy him in his office to take a break, get a drink, or something else is dependent on Fox’s mood, to be honest. I still like to read other options of who his batchmates are, though! 3. Besides his batchmates, Fox is closest Thorn. As he is also a commander in the Coruscant Guard, him, Stone, and Thire best know why he acts cold and uncaring (besides Cody and Wolffe, obviously). Thorn managed to stay more relaxed than Fox and is better at taking care of himself, so he’s made it his personal mission to annoy Fox into taking care of himself when Cody or Wolffe aren’t available. He is the only person besides the previously two listed that can get away with annoying Fox a lot and Thorn has no qualms about comming Cody or Wolffe to yell at Fox for neglecting himself.

I also saw you mention OCs! If you feel like it, could you share a little about them? I love hearing about people’s OCs!! : You want to hear about my OCs? :’) Alright, so the two that don’t exist in Star Wars Canon are Duke and Morale. The three that exist (killed by Barriss Offee to frame Ahsoka), but had no names or personalities are Ghost, Sketch, and Throwpillow. Together, they make up Spark Squad. Sketch is the unofficial leader of the squad. He acts the oldest out of all of them and is almost constantly exasperatingly rolling his eyes at his batchmates. For the most part, Sketch is a pretty serious person, but he’ll let loose around his batchmates and he comforts them when they need it. He’s not the best with his words, but he’ll give hugs and sketch cute little pictures on anything he can find to cheer them up. Ghost is very quiet. He doesn’t like talking very much, isn’t comfortable with physical affection with anyone besides his batchmates, and is comparing himself to his batchmates a lot. For the most part, Ghost had always been drawn to people with confidence in themselves. He is much better with words than Sketch is, but is very shy about, and is typically the one that others go to when they want words with their comfort. Ghost also has a talent of making himself appear blend into crowds. Throwpillow likes being active the most out of all of his batchmates. He is really good at pushing himself and others to the limit. Throwpillow is also terrible at comforting someone; even with brothers like Sketch and Ghost, it’s just not his thing. He can listen and do his best to empathize, but he has no idea what to say and hugs with him are almost always awkward. He’s much better at keeping them active to keep whatever is troubling out of their mind. Originally, Throwpillow’s name was Pillow because after long nights of ranting, his batchmates found him soft enough to sleep on. After an incident with Commander Fox (which I’ll be writing a one-shot about in my Spark Squad series!), his name became Throwpillow. If Sketch took on the role of big brother, Duke took up the role of overprotective big brother. He loves his brothers and would do anything for them, at his own expense included. Like Throwpillow, he’s a good listener but doesn’t know what to say to comfort someone; he is very good at giving hugs though, even if it does make him a bit uncomfortable. His comfort comes second to his brothers. That ankle he broke to push Pillow out of harms’ way? Better his ankle than Pillow’s. Stealing materials to sketch on and with so Sketch wouldn’t get caught and he would? They need him here to lead the squad; Duke can afford to be caught. Late nights spent reassuring Ghost that he didn’t need to keep comparing himself to others and bringing himself down? At least Ghost will get some sleep after, even if he doesn’t. Back talking that Kaminoan the day he didn’t come back? Worth it if Morale wouldn’t cry about it later. Morale is the most optimistic out of the entire squad. If there’s a positive in the situation, he WILL find it and tell it to others with a wide grin on his face to keep up morale. He’s amazing at keeping others happy, but it’s extremely easy to make him sad. He’s good at hiding it, though. He wants to make everyone else feel as if they have a chance and he views his sadness as selfish. He is viewed by the other four as their youngest, and they all do what they can to keep him happy, while he makes others happy. He is the last man standing of Spark Squad.

I don’ know how to end this, so thanks again for the Ask! <3 I hope it wasn’t too long! xD

Mapping La Sirena

Welcome one and all to the Mapping La Sirena Project!

If you are a fan of Star Trek: Picard and you would like to know more about the show’s most prominent ship, to check out floor plans and screencaps, and to discuss theories about the layout of this magnificent vessel, this is will be the place for you!

(Long, slightly rambly introduction and masterpost after the cut ;] )

Hi! My name is Lili and I’ve been a fan of pretty much all things Star Trek ever since I started watching Voyager at the tender age of 6. Besides the sometimes goofy, often brilliant storytelling and the wonderful characters, I always loved the worldbuilding of these shows - and in particularly the starships.

When Star Trek: Picard started airing a  few months ago, I was immediately drawn to the main ship, La Sirena. The mixture of the monumental physical set, judiciously used CGI, and sheer attention to detail made me fall madly in love with this little mermaid, and I wanted to find out every little thing about her that I possibly could. And since I imagine, I’m not the only one who feels this way, I decided to take you all on this journey with me!

What am I doing here?

As a reader and writer of fanfic, I know how helpful it can be to have a clear sense of the location your story is set in. When I realized that a good month after the final episode of ST:PIC season one aired, there still was no floor plan of La Sirena easily found on the web (easily = using my very limited googling-skills), I figured somebody had to sit down and do it. And apparently, that somebody was me. (May the gods help us all =D)

So, I sat myself down, and over the course of a few long days screencapped every single last scrap of Sirena that appears on the show. I now have a library of reference images and will post my progress as I work through them, trying to determine questions about the general layout of this ship, the details of its architecture and furnishings and all the questions that still remain. By the end of it, I am pretty confident that I will have a mostly accurate floorplan of the set that was used on the show (at least the parts of it that were shown to us thus far). We might even end up with the basis for a plan of the ship as it would exist in-universe (more on the movie set vs. “real place” issue later).

The following soon-to-be-links might give you an idea of what I plan to post over the next few months and I’ll keep adding links to this post as I go. So, without (even more) ado: Have fun exploring La Sirena!

Some Considerations

Tv Set vs . Starship

The set of La Sirena is just that, a tv set. When building a set, there are many constraints of time, budget, and practicality that will force the creatives to make decisions that will not always make sense when mapped onto a “real” starship. Take, for example, the fact that the Captain’s Quarters and the Conference Room were likely filmed in the same physical set, just redressed for the occasion.

Of course, there can always be Watsonian explanations for these kinds of incongruities and I’d love to hear people’s takes or read fics about them (after all, the entirety of La Sirena is apparently equipped with holoemitters, so I suppose technically, anything is possible).

But I am sticking with the Doylian “it’s a movie set” approach and will generally ignore these kinds of problems when trying to draft an in-universe-accurate floorplan of what we can know of the ship so far. I will be very diligent about pointing out whenever I handwave anything, though, so if you want to stick as closely to what we actually see on the whoe, you’ll know which parts of my analysis/headcanon to disregard ;)

Questions about “silly little details”

I have spend a ridiculous amount of time on this little project so far and in the course of it have gotten pretty familiar with a lot of aspects of the interior and exterior of this amazing starship. If you have any questions regarding details about what we can see of La Sirena on the show, please ask me and I will do my best to help! I absolutely love digging into the really nitpicky, tiny little scraps of information, and at this point, I can probably tell you straight away which scene might provide the info you’re looking for or whether there likely is no answer and you’ll have to get creative. So if you don’t feel like scrubbing through the entire 10 episodes of Picard to find out, say, the colour of the plates produced by Sirena’s replicators, please shoot me an ask, I’m always utterly delighted to help! (They’re white, btw.)

And just to make clear what I mean by “tiny little details”: in the course of writing some of my stories, I have collected answers to such important questions as

On which side of the desk does Rios have his chair? (Both)

How many cups are on the shelf next to the replicators? (4, even when one of them is currently in use)

Could a football roll under the railing on the upper deck and fall down into the mess hall anywhere but where the stairs go down? (No, there is a raised edge all around the rim that would catch it. Bouncing would work, though, since the space between the railing bars is large enough.)

Could I just say “Fuck it, I’ll just write it however, because it really doesn’t matter at all?” Yes. Would it be better for my sanity? Probably. Will I still keep trying to figure out as much about this crazy little ship as I possibly can at every turn? You betcha! So, no question is too silly, please ask away!!

A Quick Thought on Fanfic and “Accuracy”

This whole project started because whenever I write fanfic or make up stories set on La Sirena, my brain keeps insisting that we need to know which side of the mess hall the replicators are on! We need to know where exactly the holodeck is located and whether a football could fall to the lower deck through the railing. I would never hold anyone to these standards of “accuracy” - in fact I frequently don’t hold myself to these standards. Fic is for creative expression, so if in your imagination, La Sirena is twice the size of what we see in the show and has a ton of additional rooms and features, I would love to read that story! I want to create a resource for anyone looking for Sirena references to get inspired, not to point out inconsistencies or canon-divergence in lovingly created fanworks. I hope it comes across that way =)

She ra reboot Bow headcanon

 Just a disclaimer - this is just a headcanon, I’m not suggesting it’s canon in the show or will be in the future (the showrunners can do as they please with their characters) but this is something I’ve been toying with in my head for a little while now: 

In my mind, this version of Bow is a trans guy  First of all,  His “totally practical crop top armor” covers his chest area specifically and he even covers this area when bathing: 

And he also does this with his dance clothes: 

My thinking is that he’s proud of his body, particularly his muscles and likes to show them off but he’s not comfortable showing his chest for some reason - that reason could be scarring or because he was brought up around women and girls. He’s Glimmer’s childhood friend after all and says “you’re all princesses around here, I’m like... the only one who’s not a princess”

For one reason or another, the area Bow and Glimmer grew up in doesn’t have many men and boys (perhaps they’re fighting in the war effort? Although women fight too in their universe so I’m not sure about this explanation). Bow asserts his masculinity but was socialized around women and maybe taught that showing your chest is improper.  It could be that Bow was born female (hence him sticking around/ being protected in this kingdom) but later realized he identified as male which everyone was cool with and he began presenting as such + perhaps always covers his chest to alleviate dysphoria.  Bow was also the only one with an entirely positive view of Seahawk when the best friend squad first met him and remains in awe of him throughout the episode - Sea Hawk presents an obviously strong masculine ideal in his appearance, being the first male character we meet besides Bow that’s central to the story/ isn’t just a side character,  and I think Bow wanted to be noticed and accepted by him.  As a trans man, myself, I can say that being recognized by others of your gender as your real self is incredibly euphoric. 

Ultimately, I love Bow as a character and whether cis or trans, I’m very glad that there’s a character out there showing that men and boys don’t have to fit a specific mold - they can be highly compassionate and emotive and have lots of female friends & support women & also be strong and secure in their masculinity.  Bow isn’t shy about the love he has for his friends and he’s the first to trust Adora when she’s still a prisoner of theirs, but he’s also able to kick butt on the battlefield - all of these qualities exist in the same male character and it’s fantastic!

Hi there Miss Squiggles! Lately I’ve been looking through the amazing bouquet you and the gang have made together, and I kinda wish to add my own Rose, but I have a few questions: does the Rose’s name have to have some mention of roses and foxes, since there is the Remnant color-naming system, or is it just a name hearkening to a Rose? I was a bit unsure about that. Also love everything that you’re doing, you’re a huge inspiration to me!

‘Sup Beaver. Pleased to meet ya, fam.

The Roses in the Gardenof Roses are iterations of the Rose Fox Character which derived from a Pineheadheadcanon where OscarPine has another Rose in his life withwhom he shares a close-relationship with besides Ruby Rose (be in the past orpresently). Since the CRWBY have alluded to Oscar drawinginspiration from The LittlePrince, the RoseFox character is meant to embody both the Rose (or rather the Fake Rose as Miki-chan rightfully put it)and the Fox from the tale.

To explain, here is a description of themeaning behind the Rose FoxCharacter:

“…As most of us Rosegardening Pineheads haveinterpreted, aspects of The Little Prince story is being used to influenceOscar’s story. In the Little Prince, the Prince was in love with a Rose; asingle red rose that had blossomed on his home planet.

The Rose was very vain and made the Princebelieve that she was the only rose in existence but to the Prince’sdisappointment, he learns that the Rose had lied to him when he discoveredother roses during his travels off-world. This revelation greatly upsets thePrince.

However the Prince soon meets a wise red Fox.The Prince befriends this fox and it is through its teachings that the Princeultimately learns that his rose was his one true love. The only rose thatmattered to him because he loved her.

Rolling with this thought, I wanted to createa character that embodied the Fox from the Little Prince along with the lastingmessage he left on the Prince. But then I decided to take that concept a stepfurther by also having this character draw inspiration from the Rose from thestory as well.

As Pineheads, we all know that the Rose inOscar’s story—the one he is meant to fall in love with and be his one true Roseis of course going to be our silver eyed protagonist: Ruby Rose. As establishedby the series, Ruby and Oscar have grown close within the span of two seasonswith their relationship destined to blossom further going into the Atlas Arc.Whether that means a very trusting close friendship or a beautiful romance isat the call of the CRWBY Writers.

That being said, this squiggle meister wantedto toy with the idea of … what if …Oscar had another Rose in his life who he shared a strong connectionwith. It is this Rose who ends up challenging Ruby on her relationship andfeelings toward Oscar.

As the other Rose, this character provokesRuby as she is another person that Oscar is very close to, who he couldpotentially be love in love with even given their bond. However as the Fox,this character will not only help Oscar to see his true feelings but also Rubyas well. As a matter of fact, the true purpose of Rose Fox character is to aidboth our Rosebuds in realizing what they truly mean to one another…”

This is pretty much how the Garden blossomed.It is a multiverse of lovely RWBY original characters based around this type of character.To read up more on the origins of Rose FoxCharacter, check out this posthere. So to answer your questions:

Your Rosedoesn’t necessarily have to be named ‘Rose’or even have the name ‘Rose’ in theirname (for example: Miki’s Ianthe Regem) but to keep things cohesive, it would be great for them to have a name that at least alludesto the rose or a particular type of rose since this character is meant to be another Rose to Oscar in their story.

For example, in the case of my Rose, I namedher Rose, short for Rosaline, on purpose for the sake of her sharing the word Rose in her name with Ruby Rose. In the storyI created for my Rose in her universe, as the OtherRose she’s meant to be Ruby’srival—the one who challenges her on her feelingsand relationship with Oscar. She’s also another Rose for others to compare Rubyto (who wasn’t her mother Summer Rose) so having the two share that trait intheir name fit perfectly.

Your Rosehas to be a fox Faunus; as explained in thedescription of the Rose Fox Character. It doesn’t matter what kind of fox sheis (red, arctic, fennec, marble, grey, kit, etc), just so long as she’s a foxand her Faunus trait is entirely up to you. It could be her ears, tail, justclaws and fangs, etc.

Hope that provides you with the answers yourneed Beaver. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I’m pleased to hearthat you’ve been enjoying all of the Garden content and find it inspirational. That means alot. 

Honestly I can’t take all the credit. This multiverse wouldn’t be a multiverse without my Garden fam. It amazes and inspires me each time I see these awesome folks share their awesometastic Garden art and fanfics. Ly, Chels, Miki and now Nyka and Cloud have made this whole experience fun along with the interest and support from everyoneelse who have enjoyed our ideas and content thus far. It still kind of floors me to this day how far this has come from whereit all started.  Hope the fun continues to runsmoothly and I’m eager to see what else blossoms from this RWBY multiverse ofours.

I hope you’ll have fun too Beavs once your Rosehas been born. Looking forward to meeting her and letting the other Roses meether too.

@lookyeekiti @che1sea-xiao-long @miki-13 @nykamito-x @cloudburst-paint-water

Meet Beaver-sen everyone and brace yourself m’friends, it appears a new Rose may be bloomingin the Garden soon. Our 7th Rose may be coming soon.

Amazon releases the Boom! Buffy a day earlier than its published date - I thought it was just a fluke with the first digital copy, but I preordered the second issue and it happened again.

Buckle down internets, here are some mildly quick reactions to issue 2 of the Boom! reboot

okay, so the preview panels are fun to guess about and theorize but wow, dialogue really puts everything in context and all of the supposed drama that I was thinking/okay reading other people’s thoughts re: what was going to happen -- I was wrong about pretty much everything except for Buffy disliking Joyce’s boyfriend. Of a year. 

who is probably most likely not evil or going to die in a horrible fashion ...right?

Nice meeting you Eric.

The pacing of this issue is just as quick as the first one - I feel because there are so many characters and such a rich mythology to draw from, that there’s going to be a long run of introducing all of them into the Boom!verse before there is a long sustained arc - that we meet 2-3 new characters each issue and then get a corner piece of the overall puzzle.

This is both good and bad - because it can be overwhelming to a new reader who may not have seen the show and is experiencing Buffy for the very first time in comic form, but for a long time fan like myself - these little introductory drips make me really impatient for what comes next. I just want to collect all the Scoobies and get to the story!

The new additions - Eric and Rose don’t strike me as anything more than love interests currently and are appropriately supportive of Joyce and Willow. 

They’re more like cameos but I hope they will get fleshed out in future issues.

Onto canon characters-

Cordelia, Cordelia, Cordelia. In full Queen C/Tracey Flick mode. The twist is that there is no animosity between her and Willow, and Cordelia is that rare popular person who’s actually nice to everyone which is so not how popular media portrays high school to be. I know! Willow envies Cordelia but it’s not due to any messy romance issues, it’s because she thinks Cordelia is so much nicer, smarter and more beautiful. Rose sweetly reminds her that she is all that too.

So for everyone who was worried that just because Willow wears crop tops now she isn’t the awkward insecure muppet skinning sweetheart from the show --- she still is.

Cordelia’s confidence and charisma have been amped to 11 in the Boom!verse - she’s running for class president and already has been Ms. Sunnydale 2017 and 2018. In a conversation with Spike, she also reveals that she doesn’t care what other people think about her.

It’s interesting in this introduction of Cordelia- she’s the most overtly confident, with it character so far - Buffy has that whole secret identity she’s poorly keeping and burgeoning slayer powers, which leads to prickly independence and sassing of authority figures and also a remarkable lack of knowing how to read a room, Willow has self-doubt about her own worth, and Xander -- well those blue boxes were his blogs and feelings of alienation the entire time. They’re three separate characters that are drifting alone in the same direction, whereas Cordelia has the appearance of popularity, beauty, and connecting to others. So ...pretty parallel to the show actually.

Robin - similar to Cordelia in the confidence department - he’s also super smooth - the closing distance between him and Buffy in each descending panel was a nice touch. Buffy, who is already on edge for inadvertently showing off her slayer speed to the track coach, mistakenly thinks Robin is flirting with her - which he neatly turns around into a compliment and a flirt. It was cute, but I want to know why he fell off a roof.

But back to that other meet cute - Cordelia spots a few of her campaign balloons floating around Sunnydale woods and because she’s environmentally minded, runs to catch them.

Spike is lurking in the woods. As you do.

This dialogue:

What’s a nice British guy like you lurking around high school campuses for?

Luring girls like you into the woods.

What big eyes you have, Grandmother.

Cordelia does not interrogate Spike further about why he’s hanging out in the woods and even offers him a ride -- but this is brushed off due to Cordelia’s belief that paranoia is pointless - “..what’s the point in assuming everyone is out to getcha?”

Oh you sweet summer child.

They’re all so young, Gandalf. *sniff

And Spike knows her name, so that’s going to end up real well.

I thought it was both believable and telling that Xander’s blog box wrote “Girls don’t even have to try to be likable. A friendly smile, and they have anyone wrapped around their finger.”

Spoken like a boy who doesn’t know anything about girls. But he’s in pain and we’ve seen what happens when people are in pain and don’t reach out - as quickly as the Scooby Gang assembled in the first issue, they are distant from each other in this issue as other characters are introduced. Xander is constantly shown as an outsider looking wistfully at Willow/Rose and Cordelia. And the chat group with Buffy/Willow, he really feels left out. I honestly hope they don’t go down the path Jonathan did in Earshot with Xander’s characterization, but that last ominous blog box - When am I gonna finally get what I want? <shades of school shooter I’m just saying there’s media precedence>

And finally, to Anya and Drusilla - they’re the keepers of the Spooky and hint at an arc - what brought them to Sunnydale in the first place. Drusilla knows Anya is a demon and can’t be tortured or killed, and Anya tricks Drusilla with a psychology trick, which -- I’m not sure I like, but I will admit I laughed at Anya’s smug expression in the last panel. Bet you feel real dumb right now -- indeed. I’m going to calm down on the theorizing of future previews because they are misleading without dialogue. 

So future issue: JENNY CALENDAR (Year Book Club will now be meeting in Ms. Calendar’s classroom in Room 106), the school play is Phantom of the Opera (could be worse. could be Cats.) and there’s a sinkhole in the Science Wing.

And there’s a gossip girl style bulletin at the beginning of the issue:

Ok, guys, NEW SCHOOL YEAR UPDATE! There’s a new student named Buffy and she seems SUPER cool, but also, like, super introverted? Btw I am GREAT at talking to introverts, but she spends all her time in the library with the hot dad librarian. Weird. Also, I hear she walks around a lot at night STABBING PEOPLE. Who does that? Maybe she just needs a new friend to show her that stabbing is bad!

Immediate headcanon: this is Harmony writing these updates. Also Xander’s blog has only three followers. 

Final verdict - they’re still hammering out characterizations and the tone of the story, but I dislike that the Scooby Gang has basically evaporated in the second issue and that the cameos of the love interests don’t really add anything to the story except to announce their existence. Eric is totally not going to bite it at any time.

Buffy basically only hangs out in the library and hasn’t attempted to make any other friends besides Xander and Willow, there is no Dawn (and no Mr. Gordo, this is outrageous), Cordelia’s charm offensive makes me think she’s going to reveal herself as a Mayor Wilkins type later on but until then, shine on you crazy diamond. Giles is there to be annoyed at Buffy and I find myself in that odd position of being both on their sides but mostly like Giles, get your feet off the table, Buffy. I was hoping to find out more about when Buffy started training with Giles - they’re definitely not close yet, still very much in the I’m just doing this because I have to and why don’t you take your sacred calling more seriously, you frivolous American teenage girl phase. But yeah, she’s bratty to both Joyce and Giles.

Willow and Rose were there to be cute, and that’s appreciated but again - Rose didn’t really bring anything meaningful to the storyline.

Also yeah there’s a giant bat monster that kills vampires loose in Sunnydale.

Must be Tuesday.
