Random Togami Headcanon 10

I can totally see Byakuya oversleeping on accident in which he freaks out a bit cus he never oversleeps (or just sleeping in without meaning too when it's over the weekend or something). I mean, Byakuya just gives off the vibes of a guy who has a set schedule for his daily activities. Like, he wakes up at 5am every day. He's still susceptible to sleeping in now and again in this happens because of major burnout. He is in denial though about his major burnout. Makoto probably has to like, kinda calm him down a bit. Not that Byakuya's REALLY freaking out tho. Just needs some reassurance. As much as the heir wants to pretend that he doesn't want human contact and interaction, he kinda craves it with Makoto, especially when the two start dating and basically living together. But, for that reassurance, maybe Makoto ruffles his hair and Byakuya just completely freezes like his brain is a windows error screen.

Makoto is then like, "Oh crud! Did I make you uncomfortable?" And Byakuya kinda just sits there for a bit cus he's still processing what just happened. My guy is just in shock. Or, who knows. What if Makoto tries to hug him instead or he offers to. And Byakuya is just lost so he just nods without even thinking. Then, Makoto pulls him into a hug, but he accidently pokes him in a sensitive area. Cue hijinks. And by hijinks, I mean the two of these goobers trying to one up each other via wrestling. Or kissies. Or wrestling and kissies. Neither of them are winning though. Also, side note like, the image of these two roughhousing is quite... interesting. Like, it's not what you'd FULLY expect from them, but it's oddly cute. It's just the two of them being comfortable enough to get a bit rowdy with one another. Like, why is that cute? Why is that cute?!?!? WHY MUST MU BRAIN FUCTION IN A WAY THAT MAKES ME FIND THIS CONCEPT SUPER FREAKING CUTE?!?!?!?!

...but nobody came.

Man. So many characters in these games have major abandonment issues.

Flowey with "nobody came", which the Echo Flower dialogue confirms is him speaking from experience, feeling like Toriel forgot all about him, or worse, was glad to be rid of him.

Spade King saying the Lightners left the Darkners behind and forgot all about them.

Jevil being locked up and having no one to play with.

Spamton saying he was left to rot at the bottom of a dumpster.

Susie telling Kris in the "New Girl" post that someday someone would take Kris away and Toriel would forget all about them, or even be glad to be rid of them. Susie is definitely transferring her experiences onto Kris.

We don't know what Kris said to Susie in "New Girl", but one theory is "I know," or "Good." While this is only a fan theory (and one I don't agree with), it is worth noting that "...but nobody came" also appears in Snowgrave Spamton Neo whenever Kris calls for help.

Gaster was lost in the void, shattered across space and time. And now no one remembers him, except for his followers, who can't even speak about him directly without fear. (I'm including Jevil and Spamton as Gaster followers- they certainly came in contact with him.) This is just my own headcanon, but I often imagine Gaster waking up in the void, and his first thoughts being, "Where am I? It's so dark, and so cold," screaming, crying, begging for help... but nobody came.

For each of these characters, even if the exact dialogue isn't used, they all have an aura about them of "...but nobody came." All of them have at some point felt alone, trapped, and helpless, and nobody came to their rescue. Granted, this hasn't been positively confirmed for Susie, but given that she almost quotes Flowey when she screams at Kris, it's easy to deduce that she also had a "...but nobody came" time in her life.

And so many other characters face rejection or abandonment, as well. Toriel divorced Asgore in both timelines, leaving him desperate to see his children and his wife again. Shyren lost her voice when Shyra fell down. Maddie and Mettaton both ran off to fuse with their own bodies, leaving Napstablook alone. No one can remember Ruins Dummy's name. Mettaton was Alphys' friend until he became a big... heh, sorry, I almost said "big shot" (fitting, tho, isn't it?). So Alphys felt abandoned until she met Undyne... and then if you kill Undyne, Alphys disappears, apparently having committed suicide. Snowy left home because his mother fell down and his father hated his jokes, so Snowy felt abandoned. Ralsei is described as "the lonely prince." All of the Darkners feel abandoned by the Lightners. Queen divorced Spade King because he neglected her. Spade King pushes Lancer away- or, possibly, outright abuses him- so Lancer calls Rouxls his "Lesser Dad," even though Rouxls largely pushes him away, as well. Papyrus...

Papyrus...

"Forgettable." Still striving for a double-digit follower count on Undernet. Can't get into the Royal Guard. Works himself to the bone but can't get any recognition, much less a friend. May have "left home due to happiness." And most important, has a brother who is willing to avenge his death.

Everyone loves Papyrus. Everyone knows his name. More people talk about Papyrus than about his brother. holidaygirl1225 is asking everyone if they know how to find his egg again. Undyne is Papyrus' best friend. Alphys thinks his posts on Undernet are hilarious. The biggest differences in the ending for neutral runs fixate on whether you spared him or killed him. He even becomes king if he's the only one left alive. Why does Chara call him "Forgettable"? Why does he not think he has any friends? It's honestly a bit like Susie saying, "Why would anybody really wanna be my friend, anyway?" Except that he never lets himself say exactly that- but his whole attitude of "I can't make any friends, I have to work hard for people to like me" says it all.

It's like he does have an abandonment issue, but he's not giving in to it. Did he... Was he... was sans the only one who ever came when he called? Is that why these two are inseparable?

Much as I would like to leave this essay on this dramatic note about everyone's favorite skeleton, I also want to mention Dess. Most people believe that Dess is the one singing, "Don't forget, I'm with you in the dark." This feels like the exact opposite of "...but nobody came." How is she holding onto hope? Even though a lot of people miss her, nobody's looking for her anymore. They've all moved on. All except... her sister. Can Dess see Noelle searching for her? Who exactly is with Dess in the dark, anyway? The player, I presume, but could it be someone else?

attack on titan roleplay search [always open]

hello all! i'm looking to step back into writing & roleplaying after an abrupt hiatus for very personal reasons. my apologies to anyone i may have been in talks with before. if you are still interested, definitely feel free to reach back out! but i want nothing more right now than to write for my comfort fandom, attack on titan.

❧ 18+ writers only. preferably 21+. i'm a 26 year old woman and only interested in writing with people near my own age or older.

❧ canon/oc pairings & doubling.

❧ third-person, past-tense, multi-paragraph. descriptive writing is highly preferred. "pointless" details that fully bring the scene to life are my bread and butter. i love knowing how the characters are feeling at any given moment, their internal struggles, or character building of any sort. not everything needs to be action and dialogue. i love a good mix of everything.

❧ my post length ranges anywhere from a couple of paragraphs per character to 1k onwards. at the moment, i'm not really looking to do major novella like i have in the past. shorter responses are what i'm really craving rn.

❧ reply times can vary, so i'm looking for a long-term and laid back partner. roleplaying is a hobby first and foremost, and i never want it to feel like a responsibility. i am about as laid back as they come in this regard. take as long as you need, always -- the roleplay and i will always be here waiting! that being said, i am ghost friendly. it's really never that serious, so don't feel bad if life gets too hectic. :)

❧ i love to plot, headcanon, make playlists, the like. i'm also an artist (digital + traditional art and doll customizing), so expect some doodles if we become friends! i'll be the biggest fan of our ships and your oc. ooc chat is encouraged but not necessary. plotting is an absolute must, though.

❧ i don't have many limits and am completely fine with dark themes, especially given the mature content of AoT. but i'm not looking to erp. plot and story take priority always!

❧ be willing to write side characters to fully flesh out the setting/story. i will write as many as we need for a scene.

❧ canon setting is highly preferred! canon divergence is encouraged. not interested in the modern AU for my side at the moment. AUs i would love to do rn are medieval fantasy or a fallout crossover.

❧ please be literate! proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. i consider myself an advanced writer and would like someone who is on the same level.

❧ my favorite themes to write are drama and romance. angst, suspense/horror, fluff, and slice-of-life are honorable mentions. i like action, too, but i am much more interested in character/relationship building.

❧ i'm looking to write against eren jaeger. i can play anyone, but have most experience with levi and reiner. i am comfortable writing most of the cast. just ask and ye shall receive.

❧ willing to write over email (preferred because i'm ancient) or discord (not a huge fan but willing to work with it). maybe even tumblr, but you'd need to be patient with me while i learn.

like this and i will reach out or shoot me a message yourself! i promise i'm super nice. <3

😉💋🎥🎀 for tymon cause now I’m curious lmaoo

sex+romance headcanons!

😉 What are my muse’s fetishes/kinks?

Oh my God listen. He's... he's got a lot okay. D/s dynamics but like the very intense and strict D/s dynamics. Branding but not on him. CNC. Really anything on the more intense side if I'm honest

💋 How many people has my muse slept with?

I honestly don't know? Because like... idk man he's probably goes to brothels a lot. For sure in the double digits.

🎥 Who is my muse’s celebrity crush?

CLINT EASTWOOD

He would probably say someone like Eva Green but. It's Clint Eastwood. It's absolutely Clint Eastwood no question. Tymon tries to play it off as like he just thinks Clint Eastwood is a good actor or like, yk, he identifies with the type or character Clint plays (which Tymon no you're a generational wealth rich fucking kid you're not like any of those characters if anything you're the antagonist). But I can guarantee you Tymon would sleep with young Clint Eastwood no questions asked

🎀 Who would my muse sleep with if nobody ever had to know?

Okay. For canon? Probably Aemond. And I hate saying that, but my gut knows it's true

Intro/Pinned

Jay || 23 || They/He || ♤♡ || ADHD + ASD

-> I'm Jay!! Trans masc non-binary guy!! Currently utterly obsessed with The Eltingville Club/Welcome to Eltingville and by extension Bill Dickey. I want to throw him at a wall (lovingly).

-> Sideblog!! My main is an art blog @jay-sketchin! I'll reblog any non self ship art I make of the club from there. My other self ship blogs are @coles-scythe and @draw-your-self-ship. I made a separate blog for Eltingville stuff bc of anxiety. Also autistic hyperifxation yippie 🤠 Everything that doesn't fit any of these blogs goes to my personal sideblog @stfu-im-thinking-abt-blorbo.

-> I have a lot of F/Os, but the only ones I'll be talking about here are the club (Bill is a romantic F/O, the rest are platonic.) However, if you're following from a self ship blog, then please dni if you also ship with T.ohru A.dachi from P.ersona 4 or J.in K.azama from T.ekken, I'm extremely uncomfortable sharing them. Bill doubles are perfectly okay though!!!

-> Idk how active I'll be!! My phone hates the Tumblr app rn (it crashes constantly), mobile site is buggy and slow as hell, and I don't really use the desktop site anymore. Most of my posts here a gonna be Eltingville related and primarily be for my self ship AU + self insert OC Jay (what a creative name /j /lh)

-> DNI = Genral DNI criteria (bigots, TERFs, exclusionists, transmeds, zionists, etc.), pro//shippers or com//shippers or pro//fiction or whatever the fuck you call yourselves now, toxic anti//shippers, loli/shotacons, real people shippers, and doubles of the characters I mentioned above ^

The Self Insert OC

(Keeping it under a readmore bc I yap too much.)

Relationship chart template made by @//that0nefangi1rlinyourarea!! Idk who made the digital version of the model sheets tho :(

I'm making a separate post detailing his lore. Here's a quick basic rundown/synopsis for now.

Jay is roughly 17/18 during the main comics and pilots, like the guys, and 26/27 during the epilogue. They're the youngest and shortest of the group.

Jay is also trans!! He uses exclusively he/him during the main comics and pilot, but switches to primarily they/them in the epilogue though they're still cool with he/him, too.

I headcanon that the guys created the club sometime in middle school when they were around 12/13. Jay joined shortly after the club's formation and was given the role of secretary of video games.

Like the others, his love of video games started out as genuine innocent enjoyment and a desire to have fun with his friends, but turned into an unhealthy obsession pushed into being a gatekeeping snob. The type to cry "fake fan" if you haven't put 300+ hours into each and every game within a series. By the epilogue, they've mellowed out significantly and has turned around to trying to make games and provide resources for up and coming developers like themself. Redemption Arc type stuff.

Bit of an artist during the comics, and can't take any criticism either. Will either blow up in anger or burst into tears, depends on if he's on his period lol. He gets severely burned on his right arm (his dominant hand) after Bill burns the comic shop down. He's still able to move and use his arm, but not with as wide of a range of motion as before. Best comparison I can make (until I draw it) is Dunban's arm in Xenoblade Chronicles, but they can still grab/grip things decently well. After becoming disabled, Jay leans more into 3D modeling and 3D art since drawing is much more exhausting/painful.

Bill and Jay develop crushes on each other shortly after meeting. They eventually figure out each other's crushes, but refuse to admit it due to pure nervousness. However, as they become more toxic people, it turns more into hostility and aggression. Constantly getting into arguments and fighting. They make each other worse </3

At some point between Marathon Men and The Intervention, they do try to start dating when Jay points out how their constant bickering is bringing down the club. They decide to just suck it up, admit to each other's faces they like each other, and start dating. Worst mistake of their lives tbh.

After The Intervention, things kind of get a little better for not only them, but between the entire friend group. Arguments are a little less intense, they don't get kicked out of Bill's house as often, and they actually start acting like friends again.

But all of that crumbles when Bill tries to get a job at Joe's comic shop. He starts spiralling and undoing all of his progress with mending his friendships and relationship, and ultimately still causes the events of This Fan... This Monster!. The fire destroys not only the shop but any chance of Jay and Bill remaining together.

And then even more stuff between This Fan... This Monster! and the epilogue + post canon stuff that I still gotta write aaaaaaaa

"What experience can a six year old have?!"

"Well let's see, my parents abandoned me in the woods. Clearly they hate me."

"...I know she's right, but it still hurts to hear."

Oh.

So she's just kinda accepted that she's awful.

"The adults in my life think I'm a demon with no redeeming qualities, so that must be true. Might as well live off that."

Does that imply that Fiore was an accidental pregnancy...?

I mean I'm not a mother, but I know that's something that can happen if you don't, you know, control yourself.

Oh not these two again.

YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING THE PAST THREE EPISODES. GET OVER IT.

"Hey Tom, I know I said this a dozen times, but I really am sowwy. Can you forgive me?" (Jake)

"You don't have to apologize."

"It's all me. It's always my fault. I'm the one who always has to take the blame for things like this."

"Maybe they're making up."

"Wow Miriam, how'd you learn to do that?"

"Back in my day, I was secretly a serial killer!"

"Tom! Are you okay?"

Missing Digidestined Theory

Hi and welcome to my humble abode. Tonight at 4 am, I'm going to (try) to make sense of some Digimon shit. Namely the number of Digidestined in Adventure's world, and how that correlates to a certain statement from the producers. This is entirely headcanon, possibly AU, and also made at 4-6 am. It also contains spoilers for the new 02 movie. There is a brief mention of child death. And it ends with complaints about the timeline and epilogue.

EDIT: This is no longer solid for several reasons, mainly conflicting information in 02 the Beginning, the presentation of clear AU as a theory, and the use of a ship blog as a source. On the first, I had not seen the movie yet (and now have doubts that Lui was really "the first", but that's a theory that basically ends in "Daigo/Maki's group were still first"). On the latter two points, I really should know better, and I apologize.

I have closed notifications due to some rude behavior, so I won't see any updates on this. However, I also deleted the original edit mentioning that since it itself was rude. There's really no reason to leave this up, except I like the idea generally and for archival purposes. If you still wish to read it, it is stored below. Just get ready for 40 year old Lui, lol.

I'll hook you with this- there weren't five Digidestined globally in Maki's time. There were eight.

This goes off a statement from one of the producers. You can read it all here.

Basically, the number of Digidestined worldwide would double. This ensures everyone would have a Digimon partner by 2027 (aka, the epilogue).

Doing the math- the number would exceed the global population (approximately 8 billion people) in 2020 (becoming 16,777,216 to be precise- 2019 cuts it close with 8,388,608, but the math is not wrong either way).

The exact statement says this "doubling" occurred from the Parrotmon incident forward. I personally believe that's BS because Willis exists. He receives Gummymon and Kokomon around the same time that the original Botamon spawns. There's also Meiko, Ken, and Ryo (depending on how you interpret the WonderSwan games). Meaning the number of Digidestined is higher than 8, and possibly already doubling.

Let's assume Lui is the first Digidestined. He seems to be around his early 20s (or ages really well- maybe it's Maybelline). Then Daigo and Maki's team came after him. Then Adventure team and so-on.

This all rides around this comment, as there are no official ages for Daigo, Maki, or Lui and we need them. User SharpeBB from With the Will points out the following, which I used as it's the only logical explanation I can find.

So based on this theory- assuming they were 11/12 when they were chosen, and Maki's age in the flashback is as SharpeBB claims, the original Digidestined would have set out on their mission in 1987 (using the age of 9 as a baseline for reasons I will explain later and computing in Maki's age of 21).

I assume for this theory that Maki was a Digidestined for at least two years prior to losing Tapirmon (referring to the flashback involving the Harmonious Ones). My tri. knowledge is a bit rusty. But since that flashback occurs in the Digital World, I'll have to assume she met Tapirmon in the real world, there was time fuckery similar to Adventure, adults were looking for the members of that team in the Real World, or any combination of the three.

So- 27 (Maki's age) minus 9 (assumed age when first she became a Digidestined) is 18. 18 years before tri. in 2005 was 1987.

There are five of these "original kids"- Daigo, Maki, and three unnamed ones. But you may notice that five is not an even number, nor a multiple of two. The lowest number of Digidestined that must exist globally at that time is eight. This doesn't mean for Maki's team specifically- they could be in another country, like the numerous American Digidestined.

So going backwards- there would be four Digidestined (globally) in 1986, two in 1985, and one (Lui) in 1984.

Incidentally, Lui was born on a leap year...which 1972 is. Using the baseline of 12 years (based on the above image), he would be 40 in 02 the Beginning. Let's just say he ages well.

So I bet you're tired of BS- let's get to the meat and potatoes. How many Digidestined really exist by the time of Adventure? Well, with 12 years between 1987 (original Digidestined) and 1999...the answer is 32,768.

Remember that not all Digidestined go to the Digital World. Some of this number might have died (we can't rule out "accidents" in the Digital World entirely, nor death via other means). Others might have stayed in the Real World and never went to the Digital World. Still others might have let their inner child- and partner- die (see Kizuna). But given the time gap between Daigo/Maki's team and 1999 alone, I don't think all 32,000+ of them were twiddling their thumbs.

There's more threats out there that we don't know about. There's more dead kids than we can fathom. And worse still, this only accelerates the amount of time until everyone has a Digimon. It would exceed the global population in 2009 with 16,777,216- that same number from the start- three years before 02 the Beginning.

Yet we can see that this is not the case. Ukkomon's MO is to give everyone a Digimon partner, which the world is not ready for. Recall that the production team claims the worldwide doubling occurred starting with Tai's team. Including those eight and the four outliers I mentioned, everyone would have a Digimon by 2019 (with an estimated 12,582,912 partnerships- this exceeds the global population). In 2012, this number is merely 98,304. Which makes sense for the Ukkomon plot.

So I wasted your time. Except...

I still feel this math doesn't account for things like Daigo/Maki's team and Lui. The producer's math states there are 64 Digidestined globally by 2002. But this cannot be the case as how do the Digidestined from before- or even kids like Willis- factor in? Like, they fit numerically, but how did they find their partners? Why were they chosen? Especially those before 1999, if it all connects to the Botamon in Japan? Also- assuming Lui is as young as he looks (i.e.- around Davis's age) makes Maki older than him...which makes no sense, given the average age someone becomes a Digidestined and her own assumed age.

It makes more sense for Lui to look really good for forty than the entire timeline does if we assume that the doubling began in 1999.

And this is because of two issues. One is "left hand not talking to right hand" throughout the Adventure timeline. There's simply no communication between departments (especially for the WonderSwan games, the canonicity of which is flaky even in my own personal timeline). This has resulted in other plot holes throughout Adventure canon.

Another is a hardcore determination to keep the epilogue canon, despite conflicting elements from tri. on forward. The link at the very beginning attempts to explain the epilogue, yet includes some absolutely bonkers explanations for things like why Matt became an astronaut (basically, there's extraterrestrial threats made in response to digivolution, and the Dark Masters are implied to be one of them, despite actually being linked to Apocalymon- is he also an alien???).

There was supposed to be a season 3 that would have evened out a lot of this (I'm afraid I forgot the link- if someone has it, let me know so I can add it). But we never got it, so the epilogue will never make logical sense. Almost all attempts to canonize it cause batshit lore to enter the chat, or it simply does not mesh with batshit lore from tri. onwards.

Both of these elements cause massive plot holes that make the 1999 doubling pace simply not work. So I'll play with this AU/headcanon some more. Besides, I personally find the idea of Digidestined hiding for decades interesting...

Thanks for surviving to the end!

Edit

Fixed a calculation to include Meiko (forgot her by accident.).

[kitkatopinions]

The fact that the majority of the ships I ship aren't canon in their media is a tragedy. But I'm starting to think that writing interesting enjoyable romances with actual chemistry where one part of the pairing doesn't either act like they're more in love with someone else or like they don't really like their partner is just like, a super rare hard to achieve thing for media writers somehow.

Because off the top of my head, I feel like I could count the amount of canon endgame relationships in media I like where I don't like something non-canon twice as much without hitting the double digits.

So like, if my ships became canon they might not even be well done and I might wind up not liking them that much anymore, like with what happened to Ren and Nora in rwby. Loved that ship until the writers who suck at romance started focusing on them and writing them as this big important romance. Now I only really ship them in headcanons and while throwing Jaune in there too as a polyamory. Because the writers sucked so badly at their romance that it kinda put me off the pairing. If my ships became canon, most of them would probably wind up like that.

DA02:TB WAS AMAZING!! Personally, I enjoyed it WAY more than Last Evo Kizuna, and that's really saying something since I think about DA:LEK a lot. I'll be talking about spoilers and my thoughts down under the readmore line!

Okay, so I'll start off with the one thing I somewhat dislike first before getting to positives and just gushing about details: I didn't really like the fact that the digivices dissolved. That's it, really. This is mostly because I'm a bit worried about how travel between the human world and the digital world would work, now. (Also, maybe this is just my Miyakari brainrot, but I was thinking about how this would make it harder for Hikari to visit Miyako... it's ok, my lore brain comes before any kind of shipping brain, but I'm a little bit sad.) Personally, I'm just headcanoning for fun that they eventually can just. Go into digital screens persona-4-style since I think that would be goofy, but that's probably not going to happen lol.

On Rui: I was really pleasantly surprised at how he's written!! Honestly, I felt his frusturation; honestly, I was a bit peeved at what Hikari said to him when he first told the 02 team about the time he broke his digivice due to what Ukkomon did, because even though I agreed with her on what she was saying, I felt like she was ignoring his point of view and his understandable grief. (People aren't perfect when responding to other people's trauma all the time though, so I don't mind from a story perspective.)

I really liked Ukkomon's weird eldritch tentacle form. The tree branches make me think that it's probably Yggsdrasil that Ukkomon has contact with? Since they didn't specify what Ukkomon's connection is, I really hope they explore it more in the future with more episodes, or maybe even another animated series. (Though, maybe a movie would be better for the sake of a more polished end result? Idk, more digimon content is always welcome to me.)

The one scene of Daiken baiting was kinda funny but a little sad since yknow it's queerbait and we know it won't happen canonically due to the epilogue 😭 and the directors doubled down on the epilogue in interviews so we know its not happening... I remember clearly seeing Daisuke blush, but I think Ken was largely unaffected, which, if that blush is anything other than embarrassment, has some slightly sad one-sided connotations. (I'm a Bi Daisuke truther. Maybe I'm delusional. Who cares it's for fun)

This is just a small detail, but I noticed that Silphymon's voice (in the dub at least) (I watch sub usually but the only viewings near my area for both today and tomorrow were dub viewings) was just Tailmon's voice and had none of Hawkmon's voice, which was kinda interesting? It doesn't matter much, it just stuck out to me. I thought it was kinda funny.

I do wish the 02 cast interacted with each other a bit more, but I'm not nearly as bitter about that as I thought I would be, since Rui was a main character I enjoyed. If there's more digimon media in the future that riffs off of this movie, I *would* like it if the 02 cast got more focus, but Rui is a welcome addition to me. (I hope they all get to meet Wallace again at some point... that would be really fun [said by a person who has Hurricane Touchdown as their favorite movie])

Overall, I thought the movie was really good. It had a few other issues, and as someone who's used to the sub I found that the dub voices weren't *entirely* my favorite (except Rui, Rui's performance was excellent), but they didn't bother me as much as I thought they would, making for an amazing experience imo. Review sites I've looked at put it at a B, but for my personal opinion, it's one of the best pieces of digimon media in a LONG time. I'd recommend that you watch it yourself to form your own opinions though (if you haven't watched it and are still reading this for some reason hah) since that's what really matters.

Snowflake Challenge #6 In your own space, post the results of your fandom scavenger hunt. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

This one looked super fun, and I'm doing both physical stuff as well as a few digital things, bc for some of these I had more than one thing I wanted to share so. :D

Search in your current space, whether brick-and-mortar or digital. Post a picture or description of something that is or represents:

A favorite character

Sausage and Santa Perla oml <3

I can't list one without the other ofc. Sausage's lore captivated me in Empires s1, and hasn't let go yet. The lore he's running in Empires s2 is just incredible. It's made me cry far too many times, and I'm just so invested in whatever the hell he's got going on. Also I love a good excuse for religious world-building, and having Santa Perla to work with has been so fun. <3 I'm really looking forward to what Pearl decides to do with her side of the lore now that she remembers as well.

2. Something that makes you laugh

It's Mark Watson, Alex Horne, and Tim Key! This is collectively representing them as a group of friends and just doing stupid shit together, but also No More Jockeys, Mark's long shows, Key's works, and the non-Taskmaster stuff Alex does, though there's not much outside of the Horne Section these days lol, he's a busy boy.

For digital things, may I offer the following: - Longform: Big Fat Quiz 2015. It starts off fairly sensible then gets derailed by bad dong, and only gets more off-track from there. A classic. - Shortform: Carrot In A Box. Need I say more. rip Sean Lock, you bastard genius. </3 - TV series: 15 Storeys High, Sean Lock's sitcom from way back when. It was rec'd to me by a friend, and I don't regret finding a copy to download bc it's so good. <3 - TV series: This Is Jinsy, weird, full of songs, nonsense and whimsy, def worth tracking down a copy of this show. It's so good. Makes me laugh so much. <3 Greg Davies in drag is also a lovely touch lol.

3. A bookshelf

These are the Taskmaster books that still exist. I tore up an awful lot of them to make 1000 paper cranes a few years ago. XD Also have some Key and Horne and Watson. <3 The three books on the far left are my current reading material.

4. A game or hobby you enjoy

iykyk >_>

(and yes at some point I will be making a Dinnerbone nametag for that blue sheep :D)

5. Something you find comforting

Cub omg. <3 I just find his voice so soothing and comforting, and bingeing through his episodes or watching his streams is very comforting for me. I'm really enjoying all the daily speedrunning streams atm bc they're on when I'm awake during the mornings for me, so I can have breakfast and chill with Cub and it's so so nice. <3

6. A TV show or movie you hope more people will watch

Double The Fist is an old Aussie TV comedy that I maintain is actually a metanarrative about the intersections of queerness, homophobia, and toxic masculinity (ESPECIALLY in the second series) that I am woefully inadequately skilled enough to actually write on, but trust me bro, everyone in the main cast is some flavour of queer and I'm here for it. It's very good.

bonus shout out for Set The Thames On Fire, bc it's such a good movie and more of you need to see it frfr. <3 There were some really, really interesting headcanons going around linking Noel's character in this movie back to his character in The Mighty Boosh as a bonus if you like that kind of thing.

7. A piece of clothing you love

look I won't be able to wear these for like another four months but they are super comfy and I adore them so much. <3

also yeah I didn't take these out of my chest of drawers bc lazy and also I live in a dark cave of a room, the lighting is terrible everywhere. XD

8. A thing from an old fandom

The Prisoner! Dhani Harrison got me onto this bc he named his band thenewno2, I adored their music, and when I looked them up, discovered what it was named after, and then I dived right in and fell in love with it. I can't remember which specific episode order I prefer out of the five or so that exist, but yeah!

I've written crossovers with The Prisoner for my last 2/3 fandoms, so maybe I'll get there for Hermitcraft one day. :D?

9. A thing from a new fandom

ConVex my beloveds <3

If you want to know why they took over my brain, I would like to point you at this 3min edit of ConVex lore and let you take it all in. :D They're insane, I love them so much. XD

MY THOUGHTS ON LUMINE'S TRAVELER ARCHON QUEST (from 3.5)— read more cause idk how long this is gonna get everyone.

Just to let you all know that I in-game play as Lumine. So when I say Abyss Prince, I'm referring to when AETHER is the leader of the Abyss Order.

First thing's first. Kaeya calling Paimon a FLOATING LITTLE WHITE HAIRED FAERIE and having her as the address for his Letter is FUCKING HILARIOUS. IDK about y'all, but I laughed. I mean KAEYA'S NOT WRONG. She's basically SUPERGLUED TO LUMINE.

Ahhh Kaeya, how I've missed you. I haven't seen you get any screen time since FUCKING SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER! He says he's here on official business, and I'm inclined to believe him. And we've NEVER ONCE seen Jean actually pissed. She's always so cool and collected, even when angry or sick. So if Kaeya's seen her actually pissed off then yeah it would make sense if she terrifies him. But he could also be saying this in jest.

Paimon chastising Kaeya for drinking on the clock while also telling him to STOP HOLDING A GRUDGE AGAINST DILUC AND GIVE HIS BIG BROTHER THE INFO is golden. Since Diluc is no longer a Knight and he HATES any and all alcohol despite being in the business. So it would fall to his brother who loves his wine to be sent for spice deal for wines because he'd HAVE to taste them. Dawn Winery is too busy to send people ALL THE WAY TO SUMERU for this.

And then there's the casual Kaenri'ah name drop. Just out of the blue while talking about his past. He said, "when he was very young". So I'm looking at anywhere between the ages of 4-9. Why not 10? because once you hit double digits, you slowly start to learn more and more about the adult world, making you grow up little by little. Kaeya will never be in the single digits again in terms of age. He'll always be in the double digits. He'll start having more responsibilities by the time he's 10. They'll be little and a lot less than Diluc I'm sure, but he'll still end up having some responsiblity entrusted to him and that'll grow as he does.

He wanted to find out about Khaenri'ah. He read it in a book somewhere. Either in the library at the Knights HQ or in the library at Dawn Winery. And he's probably kept the book with him ever since. Since Lumine would know if she saw anything, any book, that has any mention of Khaenri'ah within its pages. But what he did was very serious. He probably scared Diluc and Crepus half to death by being a stowaway aboard that ship.

Kaeya as a kid used to believe that had some sort of destiny to Khaenri'ah. And that's what everyone in the RPC, theorists, etc headcanon or think. That he's got to be some sort of savior for them. But I don't think so. Khaenri'ahns didn't have a God at all. And yet the CRYO ARCHON HERSELF, THE TSARISTA, or Celestia or whoever truly grants the Visions to a small percentage of people thought he was fit enough for the power of a Cryo Vision; a small amount of the power of the Cryo Archon herself. Khaenri'ahns detested the gods and yet Kaeya is friends with the Anemo Archon himself as well. If he had some sort of destiny to avenge his distant homeland then he would still harbor such hatred towards the Archons and the other Gods that failed to win a seat in Celestia and would have forsaken his Vision. That thought of him having some sort of destiny faded after some time and now he's more Mondstadt than Khnaeri'ahn, regardless of his roots. He'd protect his friends and his life there in Mondstadt if push came to shove.

I would assume that what we heard during the Wine festivial of Kaeya's father's last words to him, that he was their last hope, was that he was their bloodline's last hope at something GOOD; at something decent. Not the last hope for Khaenri'ah. Because remember his family, the ALBERICHS were REGENTS OF KHAENRI'AH. Not Queen, King, Princess or Prince. But REGENT. And REGENT is someone who rules FOR someone else, either due to the monarch being mentally unstable or a minor, and it is a position that is not INHERITED but granted by the monarch at their choosing usually to a someone of NOBLE FAMILY.

Kaeya knows he's being cut off. From what? We don't know.We can all assume that it's the power from the Abyss or the Abyss Order itself. But what if it's not? What if the love of a mother and a father? Of having blood related siblings? I'm sure he still loves Diluc with all of his heart, but there are things that he's kept from him. Perhaps it's something more concrete. We don't know yet or perhaps we'll never know. We just have to see.

Then there's the last name Alberich. The very same name I was just talking about. Dain comes in and says that he knows the last name Alberich is the same last name used by the man who founded the Abyss Order. This does not make Kaeya "Prince of the Abyss Order" as that role immediately went to Aether when his journey was done. Not even "king" would be correct. As the founder would have had to induct his family into the order for it to be a "family business" and have Kaeya inherit the title. And if that were the case then there would be no need for Aether as the Abyss Prince.

Put a pin in that for a second. I'll come back to that.

Lumine and Paimon go with Dain to the Avidya Forest. To an old abandoned hut. The hut is checked out, the only things worthy of note are the strong smell of medicinal items coming from the bowl and the broken mirror. Lumine takes on some pyro slimes while Dain goes off to check the ley lines in the area living Lumine and Paimon alone for the night.

It gets a little emotional as Paimon reveals that she hopes that Lumine isn't growing or doesn't grow tired of her. Lumine has to cheer her up because Paimon being down in the dumps hurts her to see, she doesn't like to see her friend or any of her friends sad. It gets even more emotional when Paimon asks about Aether and her travels before they came to Teyvat. Lumine tells her a little bit about their travels and how this is the first time in all of her life she can remember ever being separated from her big brother.

Paimon notices that Lumine is exhausted and probably a little sad since she brought up Aether and so she tells Lumine to go sleep and that she'll wake her when it's time for her shift since Paimon is taking first watch instead of her. Lumine falls asleep, dreaming about Aether.

She wakes up to Dain but everything is groggy and disoriented and she doesn't move to get up and she doesn't see Paimon at all or hear her. But Dain tells her to go back to sleep while he goes back into the forest after he tells her that he noticed her tear stains. She falls back asleep and wakes up sometime in the late morning.

That's when she goes to the hut and sees weirdly dressed man with STAR SHAPED pupils. Just like Kaeya and Dain. Immediately I know that he's Khaenri'ahn. But I don't know WHO exactly. He's mentally unstable, since his moods go from one extreme to the next and during the conversation with Lumine, Lumine is introduced to a hilichurl by the name of Caribert. Now Caribert means GLORIOUS WARRIOR in Old Frankish and probably has the same meaning in Khaenri'ahn or something similiar.

What strikes me is that Caribert is HALF KHAENRI'AHN AND HALF MONDSTADTER. And he's this man's illegitimate son. Meaning he was born out of wedlock. We only see Caribert in his hilichurlian form, so we don't know what his eyes would be in his original form. This man, his father, is trying to give his son's mind some clarity again so that they can talk again at the very least.

The man "Eide" tells Lumine that he was fed up with his arranged life, which means an arranged WIFE and KIDS and everything planned for him but not by him. But then he met and fell in love with a Mondstadter woman turned naturalized Khaenri'ahn citizen. They had an affiar and it produced a son, Caribert. After that, he had to hide his love and his son from the eyes of his family. He couldn't be there for either of them, as "Eide" said, "I resented my life arranged by my family… Caribert faced great hardship from the very moment of his birth, all due to my selfish desires… and I was never able to be there by his his side for any of it…" So this tells me that Caribert was perhaps sickly from the time of his birth. And he also had to deal with being a hidden son, who would be viewed as a great shame by his noble paternal family and half siblings and thus grew up poor.

"Eide" during the Cataclysm went to his lover and his son, more than likely ABANDONING his first wife and kids, and watched as mother and son were changed into hilichurls. But because HE, his first wife and their kids as well as every other Pureblooded Khaenri'ahn were just that PUREBLOODED, they received a curse of Immortality. While those who were of the other nations, or were only half Khaenri'ahn, were turned into hilichurls. Lumine helps make some medicine for Caribert but it doesn't work. And "Eide" goes slightly more insane at the fact that it failed. But she reminds him that maybe one dose isn't going to be enough. Maybe it'll take more than one.

When Lumine and "Eide" go into the Chasm via the route into Sumeru after the man freaks about a lone hilichurl being Caribert and they end up facing a Frost Abyss Herald who tells them to go back that they have no business being down there. Now normally Abyss Heralds, Lectors and Mages (thus far) all have attacked Lumine. So it's strange that this one gives Lumine and "Eide" a chance to escape unscathed. But it ends up a battle anyway a "trial of destiny" as the Herald called it since it came to think that they were there for some sort of audience. Audience???? WITH WHAT OR WHO?! They go in and they see all these hilichurls bowing down to a crystal hanging in the sky. And it gives off the same familiar and unnatural evil that the Defiled Statue gave off. GREAT JUST GREAT!!!!!!

"Eide" bows and it reminds Lumine of the deceased thief from the Treasure Hoarders. YEP THIS IS BAD PLACE TIME TO YEET! And Lumine tells Eide pretty much that but is stopped from trying to pull him out of the trace/bow by a voice in her head, describing itself as a "sinner" not a god and to go and become a transcented one and learn the truth. Then the voice zaps "Eide" with a purple light and goes dormant.

THAT CAN'T BE GOOD OF FUCKING HELL NO. "Eide" gets up and Lumine and him return to the hut and they try the medicine again and this time it does work. I'm wondering right now if it's not the Abyssal Power that the voice gave him that made it work… Once Caribert regains his mind and he and "Eide" talk for a moment or two, he's told not take off his mask and to never look in a mirror. For good reason. Hilichurls hate how they look as they mourn the faces they can never have again.

Lumine and "Eide" go to unnamed/unknown sanctuary to go see the crystal again and find it missing "Eide" ponders if it was really a "sinner" and not a god after all. But soon as they return to the hut, Caribert had gone missing and "Eide" finds the broken mirror. They search around but find nothing. They decide to search outside of the hut and run into some forest rangers. One of them tells "Eide" that he saw a hilichurl just walking aimlessly and left be after a brief and heated confrontation.

Lumine and "Eide" find Caribert and he's got the dark purple Abyssal power following out of him. And he tells his father that it hurts and that he can't take the pain anymore and that he's sorry just as he takes off his mask and starts to fall the power explodes out of Caribert and Lumine passes out.

She wakes back up in the hut, but with only "Eide" there. Caribert is nowhere to be found. Lumine panics, understandable, as she doesn't know what happened to Caribert after he took off his mask. She hopes that he's okay, that he's not dead. And "Eide" laughs and tells her that Caribert can now weave his own destiny that he has become the "Loom of Fate".

So Dain is looking for A HILICHURL WITH A SCARF ON HIS ARM?! AND WHAT DOES THIS DUDE MEAN WHEN HE SAYS CARIBERT HAS NOW BECOME THE "LOOM OF FATE"?! IS HE DEAD, IS HE STILL ALIVE????? Or is he something else entirely now???? Is he something that's no longer human or hilichurl? Has he become something almost mythical to the point where Aether has to be the one to now find him as a part of his plans??????????

"Eide" then reveals that he's really CLOTHAR ALBERICH and is the FOUNDER OF THE ABYSS ORDER. Since he worshipped the thing that was a "sinner" and he figures that only salvation for a sinner must also come from a sinner. And then he reveals that to the people of Khaenri'ah that like the Abyss, which is mysterious and powerful and otherworldly, Lumine was viewed in the same light and everyone figured that she would lead them into a bright future.

Clothar then reveals to Lumine the title of PRINCE OF KHAENR'IAH. Which isn't right. If it was Lumine he was talking to then it would have to be PRINCESS! Right????? Well, Lumine looks into the broken mirror and doesn't see her own reflection staring back at her but AETHER'S INSTEAD! Meaning that this wasn't really happening in the here and now. THIS WAS AETHER'S MEMORY RIGHT BEFORE HE JOINED THE ABYSS ORDER AS ITS PRINCE.

The dream memory ends and Paimon and Dain are there relieved to have her awake and she relys to them both about everything she saw and heard. Dain reveals that 100 years after Clothar founded the Abyss Order he went completely mad due to the curse and then simply vanished. And that Aether had made no mention of this to him during their travels except for the "Loom of Fate" a few times.

Lumine asks Dain to help her dig up the field remembering the weird mushrooms that Clothar had given Aether for the medicine. There she finds two human skeletons. One male and one female. And around one of them, the female, is a scarf that Lumine recognizes as having once been Caribert. Then she says that she thinks the male skeleton, which was brought back over here at a later date, was Clothar's and that he found some way to break the curse of immortality and died.

Dain wants to say more but he has to go and shift through his memories. And he's pretty sure that an person he refers to as "he" as seen Lumine and that if it is who he thinks it is, Dain will be in touch later on at some later date once he's shifted though his memories and leaves Lumine and Paimon. Lumine gives Paimon and hug which is sweet.

— —— — —— — —— — —— — —— — —— — —— — —— — ——

Quick thoughts on the Abyss Heralds, Lectors and Mages. I think that the Abyss Heralds were the royal mages and their apprentices and other minor mages were the lectors and mages that we fight against in the game. That they were toying with the Abyssal magic and energy and it turned them not immortal humans or hilichurls but into monsters of the Abyss. And that they have their memories which haven't eroded away due to the curse of immortality. They know hilichurlian because it's a corruption of Khaenri'ahn.

The only royal mage who DIDN'T turn into a monster of the Abyss is Peirro, the 1st Harbinger. He left Khaenri'ah, but due to his being a pureblood, he's still cursed with the curse of immortality.

— —— — —— — —— — —— — —— — —— — —— — —— — ——

Now back to Kaeya. Is he Caribert?! I don't think so. It's possible, but only just. But Caribert is the "Loom of Fate". Meaning he can be ANYTHING or ANYONE at this point. I think he's something that's not human or hilichurlian or Abyssal monster. I think he's something more mythical now and is in hiding because he knows that if he's found by the Abyss Order it will be the end of everything. It's why Aether and the Order is so hellbent on finding the "Loom of Fate" since it's a major part of their operation to revive Khaenri'ah.

And if Kaeya was Caribert in a new form, Aether would know I think since he knows the feeling of that power that Caribert was trying to hold back and then when it exploded. No I think Kaeya is descended from Clothar through the family he had that was ARRANGED. As a noble, regardless of fantasy or reality, or even a royal; marrying for love was very rare. Everything from birth was arranged for Clothar. As he was either the OLDEST son or the SECOND oldest son in the Alberich family at the time of the Catacylsm. So that means he has no freedom in what he wants in terms of life. His only rebellion was falling in love with a woman who was NOT noble and who bore him an illegitimate son who he could not even with. So Kaeya being descended from this legitimate line of the Alberichs would make more sense.

And we KNOW THAT KAEYA IS A PUREBLOODED KHAENRI'AHN TOO. Because BOTH HIS EYES, even the one that's hidden, the one that has the scars from the night Diluc and he fought, are star shaped. Yes he's dark skinned, but who says that all pureblooded Khaenri'ahns were PALE?! We've only seen 3 pale Pureblooded Kaenri'ahns. Dain. Peirro. Clothar.

That's how Kaeya knows about Dain being pureblooded. Star shaped pupils. And STAR SHAPED PUPILS are the immediate identifiers of someone who is pureblooded either by descent — pureblooded Khaenri'ahns marrying down the line to other purebloods — or by the sole factor that they are the cursed immortal humans of that ruined nation. Dain even says that humans, pureblooded Khaenri'ahns by descent or cursed, still live in Khaenri'ah despite it being in a ruined state.

[aroninshonour]

Ngl I think that Kai knew what being the chosen one actually meant since the very beginning, even if he didn't portray it like that in the beginning.

He knew that responsibility was a lot, and once he figured out that it was a mere child who wasn't even in the double digits who had to bear that responsibility, he just wished it was himself even more because he didn't want Lloyd to have such a burden that he's known for a long fucking time. He knows what it's like not having that childhood, He knows what it's like to have a big responsibility, even if his wasn't as big as Lloyd's was at the time to him it felt like he was holding up the weight of the entire world just for his sister, and now he's determined to help the little green child who has been chosen to save the world of Ninjago.

Kai wished so badly for it to be him because he didn't want anyone else to have to deal that burden with tons and tons of weight on it. He just wanted to bear the burden of the world on his shoulders so nobody else had too.

Even if it was hidden behind the mask of just wanting to be someone special from the beginning...or maybe that wasn't a mask either, even if he knew the consequences.

I know I'm looking to much into this for a kids lego show but I honestly believe this. Like I headcanon this as Canon because it's just that surreal to me and I love it 🧡

Kai never really stopped wishing that he had been the chosen one

I adore your writing and you and just...asdfghjkl; this is so sweet of you.

If you're not already following @lightcreators, everyone, you should be. That is one quality blog right there. I'm constantly blown away by the sheer volume and quality of all their writing. So go follow now. You won't regret it. <3

[aprillikesthings]

I'm so envious of people who write fast and write easily. I can often picture scenes but then I go to describe them and there's just no way they'd work that way, or once it's in words it looks fucking dumb, or I can't find the words to describe the things I can feel and see in my head, and there are days it's like this monumental effort to get down ANYTHING.

But also: up until l literally 2016 I had convinced myself I couldn't write fiction at all! So part of me still believes it's all been a fluke and I will once again be unable to write fiction any day now. Which isn't true??? That's. Not how it works.

I only started writing because I'd fallen hard for Amethyst/Peridot in SU, and there was a tiny handful of fics in the tag. I wrote down a silly headcanon in narrative form and posted it before I could change my mind--and people liked it!

And then I had an idea for a story, and then another story, and then another one--and people liked them! I was writing for a tiny corner of the fandom, but anything new I posted got about 100-150 hits and a few dozen kudos in the first 24-48 hours, because that was the number of people obsessively checking the ship's tag and attempting to read everything.

(It's still funny to think about, but I wrote, like, a double-digit percentage of the explicit Amedot fics out there; which means that anyone who liked smutty stories of those two had likely at least attempted to read my stories!)

And then like a week after the first K/DA video came out, I managed to post the first explicit Akali/Evelynn K/DA fic, and shit blew up from there. I will never forget the :O of watching my hit count climb to 1000 in a single day. I kept refreshing the fic over and over and realizing: dozens of people are reading this. Right this second. While I sit here in my pj's. WHAT. THE FUCK.

For a few months? I think?, that first K/DA fic of mine was the third most kudos'ed fic for the entire League of Legends fandom tag!

(If you sort for the pairing/explicit/by kudos, I'm still on the first page; but definitely not top five, lol.)

I still think my K/DA fics are some of my best writing, but a huge reason for it was being in a very active server (...which I started) and constantly bumping ideas off of each other. Also if you're writing all the time you just get better at it!

I wrote a few things for Arcane, and what's wild is that one of them is my most popular fic by FAR, but so many people were reading Arcane (...okay, specifically CaitVi) fics that that one is nowhere near the top for that fandom, by any way of measuring things.

ANYWAY. I've said all this before.

But I'm hella out of practice writing fic. I mostly yell into the void here when I'm stuck on something, though I've been doing that less lately.

But I've never been a fast writer! There's been a handful of times I've managed more than a thousand words in a single day, and I know people who can do like 4k words per day on the regular, no problem.

And even the stuff I do write, these days I want to edit like fifty times before posting them. Mostly because my ability to spot issues in my writing is sharper than my ability to fix them, I guess? But also because I constantly change my mind on things.

I'm not going to lie: I knew I wouldn't get a lot of readers, I'm writing an au a lot of people don't care about four years after the end of the show. But it still sucks to see how slowly any of my numbers increase. I got hella spoiled back in the day; I took a screenshot of the kudos email after I posted the one explicit CaitVi fic I wrote because it was BANANAS. (And posted it to facebook to brag lol.)

But dammit, I want to tell this fucking story. I haven't even gotten to the good fun stuff yet; the stuff I'm really excited about that I've seen in my head a thousand times.

I keep refusing to let myself write it, out of fear I won't write the stuff in between, but I think I might sketch out some of my ideas anyway, just to help push me to write the stuff between now and then.

ugghghgh it's been nearly a week since I managed to write anything on my au fic but I got some words down finally

Dunno if they're any good but it's something

Writing them being apart, meeting new friends; all that shit--it's difficult!

But also once again I ended up googling shit like "what were school lunches like in the 1960's" (bad, but mostly bad in the same way home cooking was at the time--nothing fresh, lots of meatloaf and canned green beans and pints of milk)

Sakusa Kiyoomi

Sakusa can be blunt, a little insensitive to others, and sometimes a jerk. 

Especially when he has turned you down for the twentieth time. 

Your teammates noticed that everything in the gymnasium was set up and ready for practice. 

It was a clear sign that Sakusa had rejected you again. 

Of course, you were far from Sakusa’s ideal type. 

Who would like girls that are so persistent and do not tire? 

As the captain of the Judo team, the team's male members always offered to go ‘teach’ that Sakusa bastard how to treat a lady right — quoted by them. 

After hours of persuading and bribing, your teammates finally got you to let go of Sakusa. 

Summer vacation was coming up, but competition season was around the corner, so no holidays. 

A couple of schools have sent invitations to Itachiyama. Together with the vice-captain, the club advisors and coaches, they sorted out and invited them to join their summer training camp. 

Now, with their new training regime and her friends occupying her, Sakusa was out of her mind, temporarily. 

Sakusa noticed the absence of your presence in his life and…felt kind of empty.

He would sneakily walk past your classroom to see if you were there, but you were not there. 

To be honest, he missed the times when you would excitedly greet him in the hallways, your poor attempts at making umeboshi onigiri or how she quickly lifted up his mood. 

As much as he hated it, Sakusa went to Komori for some advice. 

“Let me get his straight. When you see her, your heart races, your mood improves, and she makes you feel better. You definitely like her. After so many years, you finally just realised that you have feelings for her?” Sakusa just kept quiet and continued to stretch. 

Like you? As in romantically? Really? 

It was as if Komori could read his mind and decided to push Sakusa a little more. 

“You know…I heard our school is inviting some schools to join their Judo training camp, and the guys are very interested in y/n.” Hearing that, Sakusa frowned and got up from his spot. 

Komori lets out a laugh knowing that he has successfully made Sakusa understand his feelings and maybe evoke a little feeling of jealousy. 

---

Your parents were called to the school because your results were a little concerning, and you were in the last year of high school; there are the college entrance examinations that, with your current results…it is pretty worrying. 

“Wow, honey, she sure got your genes~!” Your mother laughs as your teacher presents your result slip to them. 

Your father took over the slip, read it closer, and then started laughing. 

“Like father, like daughter! At least it’s double-digit!” Your father slaps your back, and you look away in embarrassment. 

“Luckily, one of our top students of the cohort has offered to tutor her. He also came out with a schedule.” Their attention zoned to the name of the student who would tutor their precious daughter. 

Sakusa Kiyoomi. 

There was no doubt about it. It’s the young boy that used to be their neighbour. 

“Alright, study hard! Let’s go home!” Your father cheered while your mother apologised for his frivolous attitude. 

You hurried your parents out of the staff room, only to bump into Sakusa. 

After avoiding him for two weeks, it was a little awkward, and now he is your tutor; your thoughts are in a jumble. Just when you thought you got over him, he is, making your heart race again. 

“Oh, do you have time now? I wanted to talk about the study sessions over the summer vacation.” You look at your parents, but they are giving you the thumbs-up. 

So, for some privacy, Sakusa is leading you to the back of the school, near the school garden. 

It was nerve-wracking to go to such a secluded place alone with your crush of ten years; your heart was beating so fast that it sounded like it was going to jump out of your ribcage. 

While collecting yourself, Sakusa returned from the vending machine with drinks. 

He got you coffee milk, your favourite drink. 

“I heard from your club advisor that you were struggling with your studies, so I offered to help. You don’t mind…right?” 

You spot the light blush over his cheeks and the nervous playing with his long fingers. 

“Nope, I should thank you!” You smiled brightly at him, and that smile undoubtedly did something to his heart. 

---

[*timeskip to summer training camp] 

Sakusa was not going to go easy on you. You two have a very strict studying schedule, and Sakusa got to know you better. 

It was just a coincidence that the judo and volleyball clubs have training camps the same week. This was good since, after morning practice, it will be a study session with him and another study session after dinner and bath. 

“Stop staring at my face. Focus on the questions.” Sakusa taps your head with his pencil, and you pout at him. 

“But, you have a handsome face that I just can’t stop staring at.” You joked and smiled at him. 

Sakusa pulled up his mask and motioned for you to finish your questions. 

Underneath his mask were his cheeks like tomatoes, blushing real hard after you playfully flirted with him. 

Not even one question later, you were starting to be flirty with him. 

“If I am in the top 10 for the next mock exam, can you go on a date with me?” You expected him to reject you, but he did the opposite. 

“Sure, if only you get in the top 10. Now, focus.” He lightly flicks your forehead and looked away to hide the light blush across his cheeks. 

God, this man, is he playing games with you? 

.

.

.

.

Sakusa can feel the stares that he is getting from the Judo team and it is definitely not friendly. Instead of sitting with your team, you chose to sit with Sakusa, so that you can finish up your questions and go for extra practice with your coach. 

“Also, can I meet you after your extra practice? I want to tell you something.” He asked and you almost choked on your rice. 

He hands you the glass of water so you clear your throat. 

“Okay, where do you wanna meet?” 

“Near the school garden. See you later.” Sakusa got up and before he left, he lightly pats your head. 

Sakusa Kiyoomi…just pat your head. 

HE FREAKING PAT YOUR HEAD!

“Stay with us, captain!” 

---

The summer night was not as cooling as you expected but it was still tolerable. Sakusa was sitting alone in the garden, seemingly deep in his thoughts. Your heart were racing as you approached him. Over the past weeks, he was more gentle, considerate and closer to you. 

“Sakusa-san, did you wait long? Sorry, I had to take a bath before coming.” You sheepishly smiled at him before cautiously taking a seat next to him. 

“No worries. I really owe you an apology.” 

An apology? 

When he realised that you were staring at him, he turns away. 

“Don’t stare at me. I wasn’t sure of my feelings and I was pretty embarrassed whenever you confess to me. I want to apologise for not taking your feelings seriously and disregard your efforts. Even though it’s a little late, but I am trying my best now to get to know you better and acknowledge your efforts. 

I was having sleepless nights on whether do I like you or not after you decided to give up on me. 

After asking and making sure of my feelings…

Y/n, I do like you. Can you please don’t give up on me? Instead of you chasing me, this time, I’ll do the chasing.” Sakusa declared with a soft smile on his face. 

You were stunned. 

Did your ten years of crush finally have some progress? And, he even said that he will do the chasing now. 

Instead of giving him a reply, you threw your arms around him. He naturally wraps his arms around you. 

“You’re really serious about chasing after me?” You asked again, just to get some reassurance. 

“I am. Once I’ve said it, I will put my heart to it.” 

And it all starts again, except that this time, Sakusa is doing the chasing. 

.

[*bonus timeskip — y/n & Sakusa’s third year in university] 

As usual, your boyfriend of two years was waiting outside of your class, all freshen up after his match. Your classmates were all whispering because the star athlete of their volleyball club were waiting outside.

“Kiyoomi! How was the game? Did you get hurt?” You greets your boyfriend with a peck of his cheek and his cheeks turns pink. 

“Not in front of others…We won and I’m not hurt. What do you wanna eat?” He wraps his arm around your waist, holding you close to him. 

Unlike him, you decided to retire from competitive Judo and pursue sports medicine instead. You wanted to continue to support him and it was even a miracle that you got into your major. 

“I want to eat that dish you made last week. Can you make it today? You’re sleeping over at my apartment, right? It’s Friday and you don’t have to return to dorm on the weekends…” You coyly nudged him. 

He laughs a little and shakes his head. 

“Yeah, I’m staying over. We have to stop by the mart to buy the ingredients. Oh, do you wanna stop by the cafe that you mentioned yesterday?” 

After all those chasing, it was definitely worth it. 

“Yes! Let’s go!” You cheered and was about to walk ahead, but he stops you. 

Sakusa points to his lips and you knew what he was hinting. 

“Congrats on the win~!” You tip-toed and kisses his lips. 

Now, both of you are in a good mood for your cafe date and sleepover.

[littlelordalphinaud]

hello! do you have any estinaud as parents headcanons? (-:

Hello! I'm sure I can come up with some!

So firstly I don't think either of them would choose to be parents, persay.

But also I doubt they'd run away if the task were to fall upon them.

So it's likely that find a child that needs them.

Actually now I like the idea of Alphinaud returning from Garlemald with a tiny wee one tucked into his coat because no one had wanted to claim this baby so Alphinaud had planned on bringing them back to Eorzea to find them a home since they're not Garlean (my brain is presenting a tiny Viera but really any child)

Estinien: Uh, what is that?

Alphinaud:... Okay so listen!

The original plan is definitely to adopt the baby out to people who actually want a child, who have lives that can support having a child, etc etc

Except it takes a while and by the time people are starting to come forward, the two of them are attached and uh, too bad I guess, their kid now.

Alphinaud is the primary caregiver. He's easily panicked and read every damn book on child rearing AND THEN begged for tips from both his mother and F'lihaminn, so he gains some amount of confidence with the necessary tasks to care for a baby.

Estinien on the other hand, for the longest time won't hold the baby. He's absolutely terrified of hurting them. Terrified he'll drop them or they'll cry and he won't know what to do. He barely remembers his own parents anymore, he was raised by the army, by the former Azure Dragoon, and is self aware enough to know that while it served him well enough, it wasn't the best upbringing.

But he brings Alphinaud everything that's needed and is quite happy to interact with the baby as long as they're in a basket or someone else's arms.

Once the baby gets a little bigger, a little less breakable, Estinien gets more involved.

This kid grows up so loved and protected. They also get taught young about how violence can be used to protect but it can also be used to harm and crossing that line can be easily done so you need to pay attention to situations before you choose violence.

Estinien, surprisingly, is amazing at bedtime stories. He has the best stories and tells them well

Alphinaud frets over every hiccup, scraped knee and fever

The kid is given the Leveilleur name, because Alphinaud knows how well it opens doors in life.

Estinien is BANNED from taking them to Radz at Han until the kid is in double digits. So he brings Varshahn to Sharlayan again to meet his kid.

Speaking of, once he's over the fear of hurting the baby, Estinien 100% turns into one of those "Have you seen my kid??? I have 20 pictures of them in my wallet, take a look!" Type of dads.

They choose to raise the child in Sharlayan because of its removal from danger.
