#i wanna be old n gay with sb just like that

[cannibalvillains]

About shipping my muses, n stuff.

Gonna keep this a a constant WIP, as I figure stuff out. But I decided this could be fun to make for mutuals who maybe wanna ship. Give yall an angle.

Generally ship tropes I like; Arranged Marriage, Toxic, Hate-fucking, queerplatonic stuff, partners in love and crime aka "murder boyfriends", whatever the Addams Family had going, tragedy

(.... Sorry im not awfully good with pure fluff, just don't do it for me. Also; pointing to my no smut rp rule)

Brief details on each respective muse are under the cut!

MHA______________________________________________________

Dabi (demiromanic bi)

Tbh if my Dabi actually has feelings for sb id say its time to run. He is obsessive as hell and he can't do relationships normally. He has straight up stalked several other muses by this point. It was for different reasons but affection is definitely one of them. Also expect it to be undoubtly toxic. He can genuinely love but also it's god awful. He's honestly most easy to deal with on a "we only fuck and nothing else" type basis.

Ships i like for him; Shigaraki, Twice, Hawks (only toxic hatefucking), ...

Overhaul (aroace, repulsed type aka "dont fucking touch me")

Right out the gate: don't expect normal relationship dynamics with him. Just don't. Fact aside that he generally just sucks with people, Im serious when I say he's aroace. He will never fall in love with another character and he will happily die a virgin because that stuff just makes him beyond uncomfortable. That said, I wrote him in tight knit relationships before and they have been some of my fav in recent past. Either way it's a slowburn.

Ships I like for him; Kurono, Nagant, ...

Spinner (bi-curious)

Tbh this man is open to be shipped with almost anyone. I haven't really done stuff with him yet, and he is also very open. Doesn't think about this stuff right now but he would try his best if put in the situation.

Ships I like for him; ???

Eri WE DO NOT SHIP THE CHILD

Enji (disaster bi, in denial abt liking men)

Taking current canon into consideration; Enji is old, tired and doesn't seem himself as "attractive" anymore. His marriage was more duty than love and these days he is most in of all concerned with fixing things with his kids. Trying to ship him at that age would take a lot of convincing. Trying to get him to cheat on his wife like 10 to 20 years prior is an option but can only end terribly. (please I absolutely wanna do that!!) Anything before his marriage would be battling his drive to become the number one hero. (also fun)

Ships I like for him; All Might ( yes its terrible ), Rei ( yes its complicated ), ...

Twice (gay, hopeless)

He's a mess. You may think this means he best works with other people who are well put together, but I (terrible person) like to see spiral, together with other messes. Enjoy.

Ships I like for him; Dabi, anyone LOV tbh (also just purely platonic stuff; we love to see it), ...

Bakugou (bi)

Main criteria for people Bakugou likes; they stand up to him and give him challenges. Just straight up best compatible with muses who are either an asshole equal to himself, or just say "No, stop being a dick. I won't take your shit." If your muse just follows along with whatever he does he will not give them the time of day. He won't care.

Ships I like for him; Occhako, Monoma, Fujimi, ...

JJK_______________________________________________________

Sukuna (aro, an egnima)

I dunno yet what gets him... but you gotta be strong else he will just crush you and be bored. Probably best to get his interest through powerful Jujutsu/fighting skills though, obviously.

Ships I like for him; Gojo, Uraume, Toji, ...

Gojo (GAYYYY)

Definitely struggles to relate to people with his whole "its lonely being the strongest" business. Definitely not easy to connect to and will not be honest about his feelings. But BOY does he seek connection! Pathetic little man!

Ships I like for him; Geto(duh, tho tbh also love it as just best friends), Sukuna, Nanami, ...

Yuji (???)

I dunno yet, somebody give him Jennifer Lawrence! Or his former classmate, that seemed cute. Either way he is a sunshine boy who probably clicks easily with people but later in the story of jjk it may be difficult to get close, the trauma of losing people and all that....

Ships I like for him; ???

Maki (???)

I dunno yet either, give her Jennifer Lawrence as well! Ok no, forreal though. I think she needs someone who can help her relax and not be so stuck on her goals all the time (tho do support her goals... and shittalk the Zen'in clan together...!!)

Ships I like for her; ???

Kenjaku (EVIL)

Would probably fuck anyone. I dunno if you should get near them though. There is like.... ALL THE RED FLAGS. Doesn't care much for the people they start relationships with. To them it's just all a game.

Ships I like for them; Yuji's dad, Gojo (while disgused as Geto, def in a toxic af way), ...

OP________________________________________________________

Law (gay af)

Honestly, this guy has a terrible taste in men and he knows it. He also hates it. He wants to have a good relationship but he got a tendency to get into the ones he regrets, and doesn't regret, but so damn regrets. I think there is a lot of fun kinda drama to be had here.

Ships I like for him; Kidd, Bepo, Zoro, Robin ( yes i said hes gay... they just match ), ...

Doffy (bi and awful)

On the outside Doffy is sweet, charming and flirty, makes all the compliments and expresses his care for his person of interest. He is also manipulative, possessive and most of all cares for himself.... YOU SHOULD RUN.

Ships I like for him; ...

BLEACH___________________________________________________

Zagetsu (nope)

Eh. I just have him to be a creature tbh. If you wanna ship with him genuinely, CONVINCE ME.

Ships I like for him; NAH

[interstellarbookofflowers]

happy points (?) let's see how many i can make up

i had lunch! prolly wasnt nutritious but who cares

i also had my vitamins

this is not happy but i finally watched the last of us and nOW IM HEARTBROKEN

[mercemerry]

     ( maya hawke, trans female, she/her, fire emblem: three houses ) * &. i know it must be scary for you, leonie pinelli, after surviving the takeover. to turn into someone like leighanne “leigh” phillips, a twenty-five year-old pool lifeguard at the delmare & student at castle town university, right here in castle town. just remember that you are as honest as you are competitive, and to be wary, be safe, be true to who you are : neutral through and through. ( hywia )

      hey howdy hey what’s UP my DEERS ( please don’t murk me ) i’m back with . . . hopefully my last character for a while ?? i don’t really have any plans for anyone else as of Yet - leonie is a character i,,, absolutely adore but never thought i’d pick up in the beginning but holy HELL i love her and i’m so excited to write her and i’m here to defend her from all slander. click for more abt her under the cut !!

BEFORE THE SNAP  /  L E O N I E  P I N E L L I .

soooOOOOO. okay. in FE3H , Leonie is a student of the Golden Deer house/class and like a few of the other students , she’s a commoner instead of a noble. and right off the bat you find out one thing - that she’s an apprentice of Byleth’s father , Jeralt , and he’s her hero and she idolizes him.

this !! was from an instance where Jeralt stopped by her little hunting village and rescued the people of her village from poachers ; he basically taught Leonie a few things she knows , and she referred to herself as his apprentice since. 

it was because of him that Leonie knew what she wanted to do - she wanted to be mercenary , especially one that could succeed the man she idolized.

so flash forward to years later at Garreg Mach’s Officers Academy - Leonie got in through her entire village basically paying for her to go , and for that she baaaasically accumulated a lot of debt from it. she’s really frugal with her money because of this. but turns out !! jeralt’s there , and he brings his kid , byleth , with him , and leonie sort of forms a one-sided rivalry with them since they’re pretty much the next-gen and Leonie wants to prove she’s on-par with them , if not better , because they’re pretty much Jeralt 2.0 in terms of fighting premise and that was Leonie’s goal.

eventually , though , this rivalry turns into Leonie being attached to Byleth through mutual grieving once ( spoiler alert ) Jeralt bites the dust , as well as Leonie making a promise to Jeralt that she’d watch over Byleth if anything happened to him - essentially , filling Jeralt’s role , but not in the exact way she expected.

a few cool things !! leonie is really skilled in hunting & fighting - she makes a very good cavalry unit with skills in lance & archery - i’m setting her up to be my bow knight on my current playthrough - and holy hell she has a LOT she can boast about. she’s just a really good unit and could probably level a battlefield by herself with minimal grinding in-game.

her personality is very honest & truthful , but blunt in a sense that more often than not , even if the situation doesn’t call for it , she WILL speak her mind and give brutal honesty if she believes in it. sometimes , she’ll immediately say what she’s thinking , even if it’s here jumping to conclusions or snapping impulsively. i... honestly really adore that about her , since it’s not very similar to me , but i kinda wish i had her bravery in that sense.

but hOLY HELL is she determined & hardworking and she’s actually a pretty cool person - she’s what i call a chaotic lawful because she’s,,,, a subtle kind of chaotic that still has her own code. she’s also REALLY GOOD at managing her time & money and kind of sees every single opportunity she has to train and work hard and yeah leonie is no fucking slouch and we gotta stan that.

she’s one of the gd members who regularly says ‘fuck’ but also ‘watch your fucking language’ if, like, lysithea or sb swears. the one who probably contributes to as many chaotic fuckshit shenanigans as she tries to fix.

anyways i’m gay and i am sOOOOO excited to write her !! i’m not exactly dECIDED yet in what path i want to pull her from out of either verdant wind or crimson flower , since i love leonie staying with the deer and can’t really see her wanting to ally with the people who killed her mentor ( twsitd , who worked with the empire briefly ) but also a timeline where she follows byleth and fulfills her promise to jeralt - who was also extremely suspicious of the church. it’s INTERESTING and i haven’t figured it out yet.

also she’s a chaotic bi bc i’m a chaotic bi that loves to project.

also okay i just also wanna say pls no. ‘leonie wanted to [REDACTED] ur dad’ jokes they kinda,,, sorta,,, make me rly uncomfortable esp since leonie sees jeralt as pm her mentor and Nothing More so if u could just refrain from tht i would b !! grateful.

AFTER THE SNAP  /  L E I G H  P H I L L I P S .

okay soooOOOOOOO. trigger warnings here for parental death & murder. 

so she survived the takeover , and remembers all of the events of her past life , but . . . leigh phillips did not have a good time here in castle town.

she grew up firstly with a family who wasn’t doing so well - they were happy , certainly , but they lived in a bad part of delaware & it wasn’t the best scenario because there were a lot of times leigh went without basic needs. but they made it , it was okay.

thought things really changed when leigh was a teenager , just shy of sixteen years old when her parents were murdered during a home invasion & she was the only survivor.

still a minor - scared & alone - she was taken in by a family friend and her husband who were perhaps waaaay more well-off than she was. this essentially was a tragic rags-to-riches story , where a girl who had nothing lost everything she had , but was taken in by a loving home that gave her everything she ever wanted.

and in castle town , that sorta-kinda was her reputation. she was coddled & cared for by her foster parents and didn’t really have to do anything to support herself - she got a job at the local rich people hotel as a lifeguard , but she didn’t need it. she had a full ride in college paid for by her foster family & anything she asked for. 

THEN SHE WAKES UP.

wakes up as in , she wakes up with this new past & life in castle town and the thing is . . . leonie ?? isn’t a fan of living the rich kid life. isn’t a fan of not having to work. isn’t a fan of allowing herself to be coddled & protected & sheltered and basically have everything served to her on a silver platter.

she finds out how this happened and while she doesn’t condemn the people who took her in - because they are good people - she starts defying it in any other way. she starts working odd jobs at other places and saving any penny she gets. and this is weird , because everyone else in castle town knows her as this spoiled rich girl who would get all of the best things she wanted and now ?? she wants to live on her own ?? support herself ?? she’s shopping at walmart and the thrift store ??

hell yeah.

leigh’s whole mission is to pretty much break away from that reputation that was created for her in this fake life ; and that , in turn , basically has her trying to morph back into one more like home. she currently is living by herself , but is still employed at the delmare since , yeah , it’s a job , and any job will do. but she doesn’t really want to rely on her foster parents anymore for support , since they did a lot for her but she doesn’t like the idea of overstaying her welcome.

so it’s sorta-kinda a case of leigh is acting . . . VERY DIFFERENT from how she would prior to her realizing she’s actually leonie pinelli from fodlan and not someone else. so it’s gonna be a reALLY interesting dynamic to play and i’m so so SO excited for it.

anyways !! i’m gonna be heading to bed , but tomorrow i’ll be back for plotting & stuff  and will do some replies/starters and maybe even some wcs to get the ball rolling for my girl !! love y’all xoxo

Zach Randolph's dual role is setting the standard in Sacramento

The 36-year-old is still getting it done on the court, even as he passes on his unique wisdom to his young teammates.

BROOKLYN — Zach Randolph is sitting in front of his locker, barefoot with a white towel draped over his lower body. His toenails are longer than he’d like them to be tonight.

“Aye, Fox!” he yells to point guard De’Aaron Fox. “Grab me some nail clippers!” The rookie obliges.

At this stage in his career, Randolph commands respect and gets it from all directions. Except from a stubborn nail on his big toe.

“Not sure if y’all wanna be here for this,” he laughs. “This thing might go flying in somebody’s eye.”

Had this story been about shrapnel in the form of toenail debris, it could have ended there. But this is about Randolph, whose fulfilling career continues to grind away midway through his 17th season in the NBA.

Randolph reached a career milestone in Sacramento’s narrow 104-99 win over Brooklyn on Wednesday. He picked up his 10,000th rebound, making him just the 20th player in NBA history to achieve that stat with 18,000 career points. Randolph finally has a chance to reflect on what may be a Hall of Fame career, that a big kid from a little city in the Midwest could have never imagined.

“Coming out of Marion, Indiana, no sir,” he said, with a smile. “It’s a blessing. I’m thankful, man. I know my mom’s looking down on me and she’s smiling. So it’s a blessing all the way around.”

Congrats, Z-BO!

A post shared by SB Nation NBA (@sbnationnba) on Dec 20, 2017 at 5:17pm PST

At 36 years old, Zach Randolph shouldn’t be doing the things he does on the basketball court. His 21-point, eight-rebound outing with three assists against Brooklyn is a prime example.

There are 3 minutes and 45 second remaining in the second quarter. Randolph is standing on the sidelines, hands on his hips, waiting for a dead ball. His first-quarter damage had already been done: seven points in 9 minutes on 3-of-4 shooting.

Z-Bo’s coming back in to cap off the first half.

First it’s a step-back mid-range jump shot over Tyler Zeller. On the next possession, there’s no step-back needed: He looks Zeller in the face and drains a cool mid-range J at the top of key. A few seconds later, he goes coast-to-coast before finding Willie Cauley-Stein in deep post position. Had Bogdan Bogdanovic not missed an easy layup, Randolph would have accounted for eight straight Kings points.

That’s the Z-Bo effect both Vince Carter and Kings coach Dave Joerger have taken note of.

“He’s very calming,” Joerger said after the game. “When we don’t know what we’re doing, we’re running around all over the place, we know we can go to Zach. It’s very calming for us.”

Adds Carter: “For our team, for as young as we are, when we get erratic and all over the floor, we can rely on that for sure. We can put the ball in the post and we’ll get a good shot, mostly a bucket.”

While Randolph is excited about hitting his scoring milestone, points don’t matter to him as much. Nah. Z-Bo’s been known as a banger on the glass his entire life.

“I’ve always been a tremendous rebounder,” he says. “You can go back to high school, I always had a knack for the ball.

“So I really am proud about that. It’s a blessing. I thank God. I’m thankful.”

Still, Carter let it be known: Zach Randolph can rebound, for sure. But it’s his “God-given ability to score” with a dominant, poster dunk-like force that gives defenses fits.

“There’s no guessing,” V.C. says. “Other teams know it also, it’s just can you stop it? A lot of times you cant.

“It’s just amazing. You look at the guy who is not gonna drop-step and dunk on you, but the way he scores is like a drop-step and dunk on you. Because you can’t do anything about it. Plain and simple.”

In this stage of Z-Bo’s career, it’s not just about getting buckets. It’s about molding the next generation of NBA talent, specifically the young players in the Kings’ locker room.

Willie Cauley-Stein remembers his emotions when he first learned Randolph had signed his two-year, $24 million contract in Sacramento. “I said, ‘OG?!’” he recalled.

He rattled off his former mentors: Rudy Gay and Rajon Rondo. Then to get blessed with both Randolph and Carter? “It was over,” he said. “I knew my game was about to get tight.”

In his third season in Sacramento, Cauley-Stein relishes having a 16-year veteran and two-time All-Star to learn from.

“He’s just a professional man,” he said. “Him being in the league for so long and he’s still playing at that elite level, it’s great to be a prodigy and study him as a mentor and as an older brother. I’m just blessed that I’m able to play with him now instead of against him.”

For Cauley-Stein though, he’s also learned more about how to move off the court. Z-Bo taught him there’s no loyalty in the game of basketball, not at the pro level. Relationships mean more off the court than they do on, and expanding his platform will make both he and the people around him even better.

“You’ve gotta think five steps ahead, and that’s after you done playing this game and what you set yourself up for,” he said. “And he’s one of the best dudes at it.”

“You’ve gotta think five steps ahead ... and he’s one of the best dudes at it.”

Carter sees it from a different perspective. Some young players might think they have an edge on Z-Bo because they’re more athletic. Few dare to think they have more talent. But that’s not the case. Not by a long shot.

“They’re not gonna out-compete him,” he said. “He loves the competition. And sometimes, not having the most athleticism doesn’t mean you can’t be a great player in this league because he’s ready to compete with anybody, any name. I don’t care if you’re taller than him, faster than him, whatever. You have a fight on your hands.”

Randolph’s role now is different from what it was with The Grit N’ Grind Grizzlies and the Portland Trail Blazers. It’s whatever they ask him to do, and that’s a mix of helping the young guys develop while shouldering the offense as the Kings’ stability beam down low.

And as he listened to the accolades after the game — 18,000 points and 10,000 rebounds — it wasn’t the 6’10, 260-pound big man standing before us. It was the little kid from Marion, Ind., who never thought in his wildest dreams this would happen.

“That’s what it’s all about. I played ball out there on the concrete,” he said. “That’s what we did was hoop. Coming out of Marion, we got a real basketball tradition. We got hoopers coming out of there. So, it was ingrained in me.

“That’s all I did was play ball. That was my dream: to be in the NBA and play ball.”
