drawing/explanation of buffy and/or dawn summers scars/design? i love ur willow and i want to know how u think abt buffy & dawn

ah thank youuu!!! I love to talk designs so I will do my best, I haven5 done any refrence sheet with either of them and def have less hcs cause well willow is the center of my brain but I do very much have thoughts. (I’ve got a criminally low amount of Dawn drawings despite the fact she’s my second favourite character)

doing a lil cut off cause it’s prob gonna be a lot of text, warning self harm mention at the Dawn part!!!

so starting with buffy. Some little details include that I draw her with moles cause they’re pretty and I like having more texture on the skin when I draw it, I draw her with a tooth gap cause it’s cute and fun, aswell as curly hair cause she has it every now and then but mainly cause I loveeeee drawing curly hair aswell as bc my bf has curly hair and buffy makes me think of her so yeah :) as well as shark bites every now and then bc of the same reason. I loveee drawing her with bandanas as well as whatever those things she wears in the drawing below are called.

Onto scars I don’t have many that specific ones. I don’t have her like injuries as memorized as I do willows and also yk slayer healing. Face scars I only really draw her with one, that being an eyebrow scar she got after getting a piercing in s4 that IMMEDIATELY got ripped out on patrol (willow took care of it, Joyce didn’t even have time to panic over the piercing before having the scar as her whole new problem)

i often draw her with scars on her knuckles cause punching and/or bandaids on them and her fingers, the bandaids on her fingers are also partly cause well splinters, preventory measure. I often draw her with bandages and bandaids on the rest of her body too. They aren’t often that needed or needed for a long time but still, keeping the wounds from infection.

other than that i tend to give her the scar from when she was shot in seeing red (tho im thinking about making it like, look less like a normal scar since it was healed with like, really strong dark magic). And then just small and big random scars that don’t really have specific connections (she can’t herself remember when she got most of them. Too many fights. Too many scars, they become insignificant, but there's still too many, she knows that much)

as you can probably notice I loveee enhancing Buffys childish whimsy cause she lost a lot of her more so teenage years than childhood-childhood and I like to let her just breathe

Onto Dawn, my dearest, everyone’s little sister.

she has a tooth gap just like her sister as well as mini mini canine looking teeth like some people (Michelle trachtenberg included) have.

draw her hair mostly straight but I’d probably say it’s at least wavy, I at least used to draw her with vitiligo and Marie Antoinette syndrome and I’m not sureee about that head-canon anymore but I still like it, so it’s 50-50

she also has freckles!!!!

For scars I really don’t have much check on canon injuries with her but I’ve got some

She has scars from when glory opened/tried to open the portal in the gift, it serves as a reminder of what happened also logically speaking she’d just simply probably keep those scars

she still has her scar from blood ties, but other than that I hc that she’s had a continued problem with sh so therefore just like with willow, she has multiple sh scars on mainly her arms.

Her eyes stares into your soul so bad. Get contact lenses /j

Tech’s pov

Tech carefully watched the woman on the ground beside him as she slept. Y/N looked peaceful despite the fact that just minutes ago she’d gone white as a sheet when Tech examined her broken leg and then promptly passed out when he’d set it. She hadn’t made much of a fuss though, and for that Tech was very glad. He was certain he could physically keep Y/N still if he had to but he would rather not deal with all the drama. Dealing with emotions was something Hunter was naturally good at. He knew the right things to say while Tech always seemed to say the wrong thing. It was annoying. After all, wasn’t it only simple psychology? Tech frowned as his thoughts drifted to his brothers. He hadn’t heard from them since the explosion cut off their exit. He tried his comlink again and was met with a cold silence.

Jammed. Or the signal was lost when the ceiling caved in.

Y/N mumbled something in her sleep and he glanced over at her. With the anger and fear gone from her eyes, she looked younger.

Peaceful

It was such a stark contrast to her earlier attitude. Tech brushed a stray hair from her face. Y/n smiled and moved to nestle her face into his hand. He froze and almost wished she’d wake up and be repulsed by him - or even angry with him. Anything to get rid of this feeling that invaded his senses. It made him feel weak and Tech could not afford to be weak.

Not here.

Not with the empire breathing down our neck.

No, it was simply a reflex. She was cold and his hand was warm. It was only natural that the human body reacted in such a way to seek warmth.

Self preservation.

He nodded to himself, convinced now that there were no unexplained feelings. Just chemical reactions. He had let his imagination get the better of him, something he’d not done for a very long time. He must have hit his head in the explosion. Yet another reason to do a scan once they returned to the Marauder. Tech frowned in concentration as he turned back to the broken comlink. If only he could get somewhere higher to boost the signal.

The console.

That could work.

Carefully taking the wires from the bottom, he hooked one to the left of the com and the other on the right. With a few more tweaks, the comlink crackled to life.

Not perfect, but workable.

“Tech…respond...out…ship…signal” Hunter’s came through the static in pieces. Hopefully the connection would be better on their side. “Tech here,” he began. Best to keep communications short and simple. “Trapped in the console room. Heavy fire has blocked the exit.” His message was met with more screaming static. He was beginning to think the signal had dropped again when Hunter’s voice cut through again. It was much clearer this time.

Thank the Maker.

“…loud and clear, vod.” He could hear Wrecker whoop in the background.

“Good. However, the information has been compromised.” He replied steadily.

“That’s less than ideal but we’re gonna get you out of there. Hang on tight and get away from the door.”

“Understood.” Tech quickly backed away from the entrance just as a loud bang resounded, shaking the walls. The rubble blocking them in burst apart. Tech ducked to avoid being hit by the debris. Light from a headlamp streamed through enough to see Wrecker’s frame burst through the opening.

“See,” he shouted behind him, “I told you it wouldn’t collapse on ‘im!”

“I’d just like to get out before the whole kriffing thing explodes,” grunted Crosshair, annoyed that Wrecker was right. But at the same time, he was glad that his brother was safe.

“Crosshair was worried about ya, Tech.” teased Wrecker.

“Was not. I knew you were smart enough to not get yourself killed even with Mr Blow-It-All-To-Hell over here” Crosshair snarked back.

“Of course I’m smart enough to keep myself alive,” Tech rolled his eyes.

“Guys, enough,” said Hunter coming from behind his two brothers. He glanced at Tech, “Glad you’re ok, but Crosshair is right. We need to get out of here before the whole thing blows.” As if on cue another tremor shook the room. He looked past Tech to the unconscious figure behind him and frowned. “Who’s that?”

Tech glanced at y/n, “She was decoding the information when I arrived. She’s injured.”

“I say leave her,” Crosshair glanced over and then back into the hallway, narrowing his eyes.

“We’re not leaving her.” Tech said harshly. Hunter sighed and nodded at Wrecker who lifted the woman in his arms and began carrying her out the door.

“She could have useful information.” He motioned to Crosshair who slung his rifle over his shoulder and took the rear. Another explosion rocked the ship as the console burst into flames. “We need to leave. Now”

**********************************************

“…Y/n…”

“….empire….could be a threat…”

“…have some questions…”

Voices faded in and out. Tech was there…with some others.

His brothers.

He’d mentioned something about his brothers before. The room was cold. I shivered and opened my eyes.

Too bright.

I groaned and shut them again.

“She’s awake,” a low voice stated. I opened my eyes again, squinting at the brightness until my eyes slowly adjusted. A tall, gray-haired man with a toothpick in his mouth leaned against the door frame across the room, arms crossed. He had a tattoo of a blaster scope’s crosshairs on his scowling face.

Interesting choice.

He was wearing armor similar to Tech’s.

He doesn’t look too happy.

Nervously, I went to reach for my blaster but was stopped short by the binders securing my wrists to each side of the bed.

Shit. Not good. Very not good.

I gulped, my throat was dry and I felt suffocated.

Pull yourself together!

Breathe.

Don’t panic.

Taking a deep breath, I pulled at the restraints, testing them, trying to free myself.

“Hey, calm down.” Another voice drifted through the room. A man made his way over to me. He had longer hair and the side of his face was heavily tattooed. He didn’t sound threatening, but he didn’t sound calming either. It was more like a command. “We’re not going to hurt you, y/n” he said.

“Yet,” growled the taller man by the doorway.

“Crosshair,” the long haired man warned, giving him a sharp look. Crosshair shrugged and spat out his toothpick before walking out of the room. The long haired man looked back to me and crossed his arms.

“How…” I began. My voice was hoarse and dry. I coughed, swallowing thickly. “How do you know my name?”

“Tech told me,”

“Tech’s here?”

“Yes.”

I looked down at my leg. It didn’t hurt much anymore. Someone had affixed a bone mender to it. He followed my gaze. “Your leg should be healed in a few hours.”

“Thanks?” I spoke cautiously. “Am...am I free to leave?” I pulled at the binders again. He shook his head,

“You’re not going anywhere right now. Not until you answer some questions.” Tendrils of panic gripped again at my lungs, threatening to cut off my air supply. I took a deep breath, trying to will away the suffocating fear.

“And if I don’t?” I narrowed my eyes at him, hoping I didn’t sound as strangled as I felt. My heart pounded.

Torture

Pain

Death

Mutilation

I was sure nothing good was awaiting me with his answer, but he only shrugged,

“Then I guess you’re stuck here.” I huffed in annoyance.

“Hunter?” Tech rounded the corner looking intently at a datapad. “I think we…” he stopped and lowered the datapad. “Oh, you’re awake.”

[clairecrive]

hi i know your requests are closed but could you do headcanons about how it would be to work through almost getting a divorce with nikolai lantsov after kind of falling out of love then deciding not to and working on getting their relationship back to how it was before because that unbreakable love for each other is still there and its noticeable. ive always wanted to read abt this and im asking this request from a number of writers cos i find it so cool to read everyone write their take on it.

cant wait to see what you come up with! thank you<3

A/n: taking a lil break from studying to write this. btw, hc take me less time to write so if you have more you can always send them in and I'll do my best to answer.

(tags are at the end)

SHADOW AND BONE MASTERLIST

okay so, the idea of letting Nikolai go is absurd to me. However, I can see how there could be some strains in a relationship with him.

if we remain in a canon situation, I'd say that the biggest thing that could come between you two up to the point of almost divorce is his ambition and dedication to Ravka

Nikolai is a strategist and the thing he wants more is seeing Ravka free and thriving and he'd do anything to make that a reality

so, he'd be plenty busy

busy to the point that you'd go months without seeing him

whether he's in Ravka working on his projects with David and Nadia or he's in another country on a diplomatic visit

of course, he has invented flying ships and all but those kinds of journeys still are long and tiring

however, since you are in the picture, I'd like to believe that Nikolai would try to find a balance between his country and his love

if not simply for the fact that he loves you and he loves being with you

if he's married you, there's a reason. right?

so, I feel like whenever he's back from a long trip away he'd take some time to spend it with you. First days in between the sheets and then doing some of your favourite things together.

just to spend some quality time with you

that's until he slips away more and more to take care of something

at first, it's a couple of hours before dinner

then he misses dinner entirely but spends the afternoon together

then only mornings together

until it comes the time you wake up and his side of the bed is cold

of course, you were aware of the life he led

his ambition and dedication were two of the things you loved most about him

but you missed him

he was gone so much that it didn't feel like a relationship anymore

it seemed like a free trial for widowhood

you had confronted him about this

many times

but he was still the King of Ravka and he had responsibilities he couldn't forfeit

and despite his best intentions, it seemed that they didn't match with his marriage

and you understood that. his role and the many things he had to take care of. really.

but you were tired of being alone a feeling unimportant

so, one day you decided to wait for him. Nikolai was the first to wake up and the last to fall asleep.

but that night, you waited for him. sat in your bed, hoping he'd come too late

when he did step into your room, he was surprised to see you awake. at first, he was delighted. he missed you too and the idea of being able to spend some time with you brought him endless joy

however, he soon noticed the expression on your face, your arms crossed on your chest and he understood that whatever reason had made you wait for him, wasn't anything good.

as much as it broke your heart to say the words, you told him what you had been thinking about for months now.

"this marriage is not working out for me anymore."

Nikolai's heart broke. truly shattered at your words.

he knew he'd be walking on a fine line and it was only a matter of time before you'd snapped again

but he never thought it'd come to this

divorce

what a wretched word

Nikolai hated it. he hated the fact that he had been such a shitty husband that you now wanted to have nothing to do with him

he tried to change your mind, promised that he'd do better, that he loved you and you were his whole heart even though he'd done a shitty job to show you.

but you knew that despite his words were genuine, his promises were empty.

and you were simply done. you couldn't take any more of this.

when he understood that he had pushed you too far, Nikolai relented. He accepted your decision and told you that he'd take care of it.

in the meantime, you went away.

there was no reason for you to stay. you were alone anyway so staying just to sleep in the same bed as he felt ridiculous

the time apart was agonizing for both of you. unironically, knowing that he was just a few feet away made it easier for you to bear the loneliness. And Nikolai?

Well, he had forgotten how to function. The absence of your presence affected him more than he would have thought. To the point where he could only think of you and how he couldn't lose you. The divorce wasn't official yet and he was already miserable.

So he took some time off and he joined you.

Again, he asked for forgiveness. pleaded for you to give him a second chance and if not, to at least allowed him to spend the days before signing the papers together.

and you agreed. you agreed because you had missed him so much. because you still loved him.

those remaining days were spent in utter denial. neither of you acknowledged the truth of your situation but unspokenly decided to make the most of it.

and saints, it did nothing but remember why you had fallen in love with each other and decided to spend the rest of your lives together in the first place.

when the time was almost up, neither of you wanted for it to end.

but the problem remained: you couldn't go back to the same routine

but letting Nikolai go wasn't possible neither

so you talked to him. explained your reasons and your motives and that above all you loved him

he felt so much relief in knowing that there was still a tiny chance of making this right

he renewed his promises of being a better husband, of changing his work schedule so that he could be more present.

he had even handed you a sheet where he had drafted his new schedule and well, it was completely different

of course, you knew that there would be times where he'd be inevitably busier but as long as he made an effort, you'd be fine with it

and so you agreed, you gave him a second chance and you were proud to say that Nikolai was living up to his words

and you were happier than ever

[normal-thoughts-official]

First of all the whole daddy thing is fucked. Because so many reasons. But secondly, love your smut and a few weeks ago I accidentally read a piece of smut where Magnus is a dom and he _lets_ Alec hump his leg, I didn't finish reading it because Dom Magnus is just odd, so I thought, maybe, if you felt like it, you could write your take on that scene, just the right way round.

hggghhhnmmmmhh loOK i love this trope more than life itself okay im surprised it didn’t come up on my blog before (well it might have but. anyway) like i just hgggghhh YEA 

look i just. god damn. so many possible scenarios for this? i love it like, magnus and alec in pandemonium (dauihdsiadhadadada i just realized that from looking at my blog one would probably think that pandemonium is canonically a sex club or something, but anyway, ANYWAY), magnus in nothing but a pretty, short little skirt, a harness squeezing his perfect titties, and a collar dahsdiada alec fully dressed, lounging comfortably in Magnus’ Throne Couch™, magnus straddling his lap. and all night alec’s been teasing him, groping his tits and his thighs with his Big Hands™, pulling him closer by the leash and kissing him, all deep and filthy as his hands run over magnus’ body, disappearing under his skirt, rubbing his thighs and coming his close enough to his clit to make Magnus squirm and moan a little into his mouth. and magnus is just- he’s been teased all night, okay, and every time he turns he can see someone watching them with intent and he feels so exposed, and sometimes alec pulls him by the harness instead of the leash, and his hands just feel so good and demanding all over magnus’ body, and before they got to pandemonium alec had been edging him with a rabbit vibrator, and he’s just- desperate and wet, looking a mess, all dazed with his cat eyes out, and alec keeps just. making out with him, which is great, but nothing more, and he’s whining a little bit, and he can’t help the way he ruts against alec in little thrusts to try and get the pressure that he desperately needs on his clit that he hasn’t been getting ever since they left home

and every time he does, alec gives him a little slap, which only makes his hips buckle forward more because goddamn he loves it when alec spanks him and he needs something, but then alec shakes his head and pulls him by the leash and tells him to behave, and magnus is soaked through and just the sound of alec’s voice all commanding like this has his cunt clenching and throbbing, achingly good, nowhere near enough, and at this point he’s almost lost in pleasure, whining and moaning out little pleas for alec to please let him come, please, please, he’ll do anything 

and alec just smiles at him and pulls his leash again, and magnus goes eagerly, only to get a surprisingly chaste kiss- and then a tug on his hair that almost has him screaming in pleasure because he’s so sensitive

and alec is teasing him all the while, of course, “look at you, such a needy little slut, sitting in my lap wearing my collar, letting everyone see how much you like it when i treat you like this. we’ve only been making out and you’re already such a beautiful mess.” and magnus begs, begs, begs, sir, sir, please, please let me come, please

and alec’s like alright. but you’re gonna come just like this, humping my leg like the needy, desperate slut that you are. i want everyone to see what you look like all pathetic and needy, [and fuck does this make magnus moan harder, knowing that alec knows that he loves being called things like this, knowing that alec does it on purpose, knowing that it should be humiliating but it just feels so perfect-] humping my leg to get your release

and before that magnus had been facing alec, but alec makes him turn around so he’s facing the crowd, watching everyone watch him as he humps alec’s leg, alec looking all put together with a drink in hand, and him just a little mess, moaning and rutting against him in abandon because he needs it so bad, so much, and he’s so fucking close already, and alec is tugging at his leash, not forcefully, not enough to hurt or choke him, but enough for him to feel the pressure of the collar on his neck, focus on the sounds of the little tag jingling as he does so, and he feels the slightly cold air on his nipples making him shiver in pleasure, wanting more but getting only that, whispers of sensation, and if he opens his eyes he can see people all around just looking, getting off to the sight of him being humiliated like this, in the most delicious way. and fuck, he comes so fast, embarrassingly so, but it doesn’t even matter because he’s been on edge for so long, and alec teases him again, “oh, you poor thing, you really wanted it so bad, didn’t you?” and he’s still sensitive so he’s still whining, little movements of his hip over alec’s leg

but alec tugs at his leash again and gets him off alec’s lap, which makes him whine at the lost because it was good, so good, but not enough, but when alec shushes him and looks at him with those dark, commanding eyes he knows what’s to come. and then alec takes him to a private booth and fucks him in earnest, because he’s been kind of on edge for a while too, watching magnus like this, all beautiful and needy and just giving alec all that power willingly, happily, enjoying it. and he fucks magnus hard and fast, the kind of fuck where all magnus can do is moan and mewl and grab at the sheets, overcome by sensation and pleasure and just going pliant and relaxed even before he comes again, just safe and sated doaijsdadjasdaduaidsaas :’) 

or if it’s less public you have magnus kneeling at alec’s feet, looking up at him with his real eyes, pupils blown, cum on his lips and face after servicing alec and getting him off, hair a mess, and he just looks so expectant, sated and eager at the same time because goddamn he loves it when alec uses him like this, loves being used to get alec off, and he’s horny and wet without having even been touched. and alec cups his cheek (way too tender for a scene like this, but he can’t help it, and he wouldn’t want to, not with the way magnus enjoys it and melts against his touch and looks even more debauched and blissed out) and tells him that he did such a good job, that he deserves a reward. so he tells magnus that he’s allowed to get himself off against alec’s leg fijfaojf and magnus thanks him, unprompted (which fuck, shouldn’t be this hot, but is) and it’s just magnus, kneeling, humping alec’s foot and moaning lowly as alec runs his hands through his hair and mumbles little words of encouragement, tells him that he did such a great job today, that he should be proud, that he deserves this. and magnus preens a little at the praise but also flushes at the humiliation of getting to hump alec’s leg as a reward, of having to work for it, of being so desperate for relief that he took alec’s offer without a second thought. and he comes, a long, needy orgasm that feels almost punched out of him, has him thrusting erratically against alec, little “ah ah ahh”s of pleasure leaving his lips, until he just comes down, melting on the floor, so damn happy and satisfied

and alec asks him how he’s feeling and he says “perfect,” and alec smiles and says “me too,” and kisses his forehead, and then takes him to bed and cuddles with him and tells him that he’s so beautiful, so perfect, that alec is so honored to be with him, that he loves him so much, that it means the world to him that magnus trusts him like this. and it’s perfect and magnus is just so happy and relaxed and daoshdaudhash yeah it’s great

a ramble abt humes, anomalies, and other weird things

ok so basically ive had these thoughts rolling around in my head for a while now, and with egos post from awhile ago ive been having even more of these thoughts so i decided to put them down on paper. i apologize if these seem a bit incoherant as im not really good at putting whatever my mind comes up with into words, but i wanted to share these so. here goes nothing.

so, ego was talking abt how the longer you are behind the veil or working with anomalies, the more non human or anomalous you get. now this ties into humes in an interesting way…  if you dont know what humes are, id suggest reading these two articles as well as these four supplements on thaumatology and reality bending to get a better grip on what im saying, or you could click the read more below for the quotes i based this whole rant off of. but anyways! as one of the articles describes, the hume levels of reality benders are abnormally high, and the area around them abnormally low. so! how does all this sciencey mumbo jumbo tie into egos theory? well, you remember the law of diffusion from science class yes? and how particles tend to move from high concentration to low concentration? (this is also mentioned in scp 3001!) so! what if when one spends enough time around anomalies, the abnormal hume levels the anomalies generate would “rub off” of said person, thus making them anomalous as well. this also ties into one of the three basic principles of thaumatology: “like produces like”. now i may be stretching the rules here, but as one of the big rules of the scp wiki states, “there is no true canon”, so i can do what i want. the whole “rubbing off” thing would also explain how quite a few of the researchers (at least, the ones that survive long enough) end up with an anomalous quality or two(eg king, gerald, iceberg)

not only that, but this also ties into how and why the foundation operates, or how i think it does, at least. you see, another rule of thaumatology is “Observation Changes Reality”. this, when combined with “Like Produces Like” and “The Part Affects The Whole”, can be expanded to mean that anomalies can “spread”. there is another thing that supports this as well, nexuses! nexuses are “population centers that also seem to attract anomalous amounts of anomalous activity”(mind the tongue twister), so if an area has a high enough number of anomalies, it can cause a snowball effect and drastically increase the anomalousness of said area. an example of this could be boring, oregon, where wilsons wildlife solutions takes place. now, keep in mind this is all purely speculation and just my version of canon so im obviously stretching things a bit! but!! what if the foundation is so crazy about keeping normalcy because if the whole world were to know and believe in magic, a situation like in competitive eschatology could happen? this is nicely explained from this lengthy quote from this magic orientation: “if everyone outside of Sigma-3 all became Type Blues like me — then our perspective on the world would change. And if that happened, we might not be able to hold back dangers to reality any longer….It could be the end of containment, forever. The end of the Foundation's preservation of normalcy. And then we'd all be at the mercy of all the horrible things out there, the old gods and demons that would ensure humanity does nothing but huddle in caves around campfires and scratch on the walls, forever…. And it ends with being unable to believe that Cthulhu can be contained behind sheets of steel and walls of stone.” this, is why the foundation operates, or at least how my version of the foundation operates. if the serpents hand or the chaos insurgency were to get their way, humanity would be more at risk of all the paranormal dangers in the world. of course, there is a big hole in this theory, that being how in the hell could the rest of the anomalous world not know about this??? one explanation could be that they do know, and just dont care, as both the hand and chaos wish to change the world to be more anomalous in some way. another, more implausible explanation is that this whole thing is simply overlooked in favor of the groups respective goals. again, this whole thing is really cobbled together and based off of a few lines from the wiki that i interpreted in my own way and this whole rant quite frankly kind of chaotic, so i apologize if some things dont make sense or if there are a few holes in this theory. 

So, bluh, thats my whole little rant/theory abt my scpverses rules n shit. I apologize for the general incoherence of this whole thing as my mind jumped around alot while writing this lol

SHIPPING INFO !! ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER?:

if you guessed stevetony, surprise!  grab yourself a gold star from the sticker sheet.  i mean it’s obviously not my only ship, buckytony is practically tied at this point for it (thanks winter soldier 2018 and dean, it’s all your fault).  i was on the tonyfelicia train before that last issue of black cat came out, my main crossover ship for him is completely out of the blue (rj maccready, listen, it happened, i can explain to you how it happened, it’s a very tearful tale of miscommunication and awkwardness and the end of the world), i can see a lot of potential ships, maybe, where he’d settle in and do fine with it.  but my main ship for him is tony/being happy and loved and safe, which is really the only otp for him that matters to me at all.  is he happy?  does he feel safe?  does he feel loved (at least part of the time because god if he doesn’t have massive self image issues)?  then we’re good to go.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO WRITE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?:

my main goal here, which probably sounds stupid but whatever, is to give tony healthy relationships that he can grow in to balance out the shitty ones he’s had in canon.  it’s why i’m not here for toxic ships for him, it’s been the majority of what his love life has been.  i’m also not a fan of angst for the sake of angst with no resolution.  back to that whole no toxic ships thing.  it wears me down, guys.  angst with a purpose is great.  angst just to make myself mad is not my thing, especially since there are things that will be inherently touchy because of tony’s history.  basically what i want are ships where he can develop and maybe start to feel comfortable enough to let the masks down, not things that will put them back up.  so no, not happy fluff all the time, but if there’s gonna be drama, i’d rather it not be the kind i can picture in a high school relationship.  there’s enough possible friction with tony as is that i don’t need to manufacture it.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?:

typically...i don’t even consider a ship with a character under 25.  closer to 30 and above is actually better, usually, because honestly, tony’s not some twenty-something.  with tony i’m not super comfortable, usually, with large age gaps.  he’s in his early 40s, for him someone closer to his age and maturity level (which is more mature than i’m betting most people think) is better.  tony needs an equal partner with some life under their belt, you get me?  he’s a lot to handle, not just because he likes to barrel ahead and do what he wants to do anyway because he’s stubborn and thinks he always knows best (which is a thing that has to be negotiated and stood firm about), but because he comes with some issues and trauma from past relationships.  he’s not some squeaky playboy that’s never had a relationship, he’s been abused, he’s been used, he’s been cheated on, and he’s been hurt.  a lot.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?

yeah, i’d say i’m very selective.  i don’t say this to like...discourage people from it, like, at all.  by all means, i’m all ears to possible ships.  but i like there to be a basis for a ship?  some interaction that’s platonic?  to see how they click first.  and also i really, really prefer it to be a thing where we talk about it.  i’m gonna use mala and dean as examples here, but.  we have such detailed headcanons and shit because we actually talk about shit.  there’s a lot of stupid what if scenarios that get passed around.  also i have a habit of sticking to one or two portrayals for it.  mostly because tony’s wrapped around those like a squid and i can’t pry him off.  but also because i’d rather have fewer, very well developed ships than a bunch.  shipping’s not my main goal, i’m just here to write for my idiot spam in a can.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?

my rule of thumb is that if it’ll get censored on network television, it goes behind a readmore.  will there be things of that nature on this blog - of course there will be, i think it’s fairly obvious tony is a huge fan of sex.  it’s the casual stuff he sucks at.

WHO ARE OTHER THE CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?:

in marvel specifically?  i can squint and see peter quill and tony maybe having a thing with the right development.  doomtony, but don’t @ me i don’t want to hear it.  tonyemma honestly - but i can’t say one way or another if it would ever be more than fwb.  tonyrhodey is another big one.  really it’s less for me about general characters and more about individual chemistry between portrayals.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?:

i’d uh.  appreciate it?  bascially don’t assume because you rp x, y, or z it means you get a ship.  like i said before, i kind of stick to one or two portrayals per character with this kind of thing and also depend heavily on chemistry.  if there’s nothing there, there’s nothing there, and i’d rather it not be pushed on me without discussion and some feeling things out.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:

more or less.  ships aren’t the end all be all for me, but they’re nice to have.  i like to watch tony grow when he has a safe place he feels loved and doesn’t feel the need to put on the song and dance all the time.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP?:

to a degree?  like i have ships i’m super attached to, can’t imagine shipping with another version, and others i’d like to try out.  i’m not single ship, but i’m picky, so take that as you will.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:

it’s less that and more which ships are my favorites that i have and the answer is all of them, because they’re all unique.  fe is a good one to see where his morals and emotions come into conflict with one another, to a degree.  mac is about hope for a future he hadn’t wanted.  steve and tony are...well.  steve and tony, it’s seeing that requited and seeing them just naturally move into that next stage of their relationship going forward.  bucky’s all about healing.  i like themes.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:

send me a meme, come talk to me in ims or disco, whatever, but let me know so we can talk about it and see if anything’s there.

Who the heck is my muse anyway: 

Creeping up on middle-age, part-time Happy Huntress, part-time musical performer, wolf faunus lady who occasionally plays with gender presentation, mostly on stage. She has a painful past, but it only hardened her into a stronger, kinder self who wants to help everyone else to never hurt that badly, or at least not have to shoulder the pain alone. All she wants is to empower people, and yet all she seems to do it make them weaker and intimidated in her presence. Regardless, she continues to try and inspire through words and music, and protect through fists and claws.

Points of interest: 

black and white wolf tail, thorny vine tattoos wrapping most of her body, a semblance which cancels out others’ semblances, skilled in Aikido, guitar, keyboard/piano, and vocals. Graduate of Sanctum and Atlas Academies. Her huntress license lapsed after its first expiration date and remained that way for ~10 years until she reinstated at the behest of Robyn Hill. She will love you if you love yourself, and likewise do her best to truly scare the shit out of you if you mistreat others.

What they’ve been up to recently:

In mainverse, she’s living her best life in Mantle city, trying to bring hope to the masses and occasionally going on stake-outs for Robyn Hill or acting as entertainment or security detail for her rallies.

If you want to meet her somewhere in the past, you can find her either just looking to survive, mastering her music, or completing combat training followed by huntress training. then, trying but failing to work effectively as a licensed huntress, and slowly feeling like she’s lost herself before she finds music again.

Where to find them: 

In chronological order:

Morkmani Village Anima forests Argus Sanctum Academy Atlas Academy Mantle city  - wherever the work was   - performances at nightclubs, bars, street venues, coffee shops, etc  - libraries, cafes, anywhere she can sit and work on her stuff  - her apartment  - supporting other people’s shows! having fun in the crowds.  - out shopping, especially to add to/update her wardrobe with cool shit

Current plans:

make the world better! or at least feel like less of an oncoming storm. continue to be a badass? love as many people as she can. from a distance, usually.

Desired interactions:

WHEEZE. A lot of this is similar to the associations bit in my page but here we go.

Robyn recruiting her to join the huntresses, any and all shenanigans that may follow. Fraternizing with fellow huntresses in general, or missions together.

Qrow and/or Clover semblance shenanigans and training. Also her and Clover generally giving each other shit bc it is just So Much to have those two egos in one room.

Bitching at Ironwood about what trust and loyalty REALLY means or maybe just her venting to someone about him, but this requires her getting to know him somehow in the first place, or at least to hear from others what he is like. idk. this muse has meta feelings about micromanagement, I would love to thread them.

Giving Weiss vocal training classes when she was a lil’ girl. and/or catching up in current verse. 

Briar getting to meet Blake and absolutely gush about her speech at Menagerie bc she saw it from some scroll recordings.

Basically anything with Jaune. I still have no idea what is going to happen when these two semblances meet each other. I do know hers can basically act like a spiritual resistance weight to help his get stronger. It probably goes both ways. Semblance arm wrestling is what I’m sayin’. But also she just.......... she has a lot of feelings. It’s like a Qrow/Clover thing too where she looks at him and sees everything she could be, but isn’t. She’s too proud. Help her work through this and question herself a little bit so she can come out better for it, and realize they are both different yet who they are supposed to be.

Silver eyes training with Ruby!!!! She doesn’t know anything about them besides what she’d find out from the crew, but she does have plenty of skills and pep talks that can probably help Ruby focus and/or project her power. Briar's semblance color is silver for a reason.

Semblance/aura training with anyone in general. But when I say that I also mean “learning not to rely on your semblance” training. She’s good for that. She may get being a professor for it added to either her history or her future, idk yet.

This also leads into being able to have a discussion with Oscar/Ozpin about a different take that can help her fully realize her semblance abilities. If you’re interested, we can chat mun to mun so I can let you know my ideas and you can decide how your muse wants to guide her through it.

Other OCs idk who what where when why how but that’s exactly the point. the whole verse is our oyster, let’s see what happens. come @ me. let’s let our muses help develop each other.

Offered interactions:

Briar’s actually pretty easy to have interactions with villains? She probably won’t know any better if she runs into them and they aren’t immediately stirring trouble. For better or worse, she’ll give them the benefit of the doubt if they are trying to confide in her about something or just chatting.

Also I haven’t made one yet but she’d be damn good for a villain herself AU.

She will listen to you! She will sing to you!! She wants to make you happy and help you grow, plz come to her with whatever. (Or vice versa! She’s not difficult to get to open up and she will talk with you about her own doubts and demons if u want).

Anyone can watch one of her performances and/or come find her hanging around the venue afterwards. I’ll probably make some opens for this kind of thing.

Are you another performer character??? Duets??? duets.

Faunus mentor!! Music mentor!!

Sanctum or Atlas Academy student days can be a thing. Likewise for her more interspersed street performances during those times.

future volume interactions if you’re comfortable with hcs of what goes down until we find out canon. She can go after Robyn/Qrow in the immediate timeframe, or run into any of the kids in the process. I like to think she joins up with the main cast to head to Vacuo when that happens. Whether to just bring her music along for them and/or to start spreading it to more reaches of the world bc hopefully Atlas/Mantle is under control at some point and in good hands with Robyn and however that leadership shakes out, and damn the whole world needs hope right now, so it is... Time To Dream Even Bigger.

Current open post/s: 

here’s the open starter tag!

Anything else?:

I thought there was a shipping section on here but uhhhhhh i’m too much of a wuss to make one myself right now. maybe a bias list in the future. I feel like I should get some general interactions going first.

Nobody ASKED for any of my shitty Pokemon character doodles... BUT IM IN A MOOD.

SO yall have to deal with it.

This is under a read more so dont come at me about it being annoyingly long. Blame Dumblr. Theres a SHIT TON OF DOODLES UNDER THE CUT.

First off I wanted to give Holly a whole classroom of friends... it wasnt GONNA be an all girls school... but I kept crankin of little girly Mons....

I dont actually have a shiny Darumaka or Eevee... but theyre two of my favorite shinies...

I drew these four after so theyre a bit different in style. Shiny Swirlex has the same excuse as the other two shinies... I just love the shiny colors

They also needed a teacher so I repurposed one of my older characters because I thought itd be funny to have a swan teacher... cuz swans are so scary but they care for their babies well.

Darla and Delilah can be bothered with threats because theyre safe with Mr Shandra.

Mikhail only takes classes that are small enough to fit under his wingspan so he can keep them all safe. And Eva and Tiffany learn from the best and just get pissed off like their teacher.

((Hes more bark than bite though... hes not a great fighter and a double weakness to Electric? Garbo. But he puts up a convincing enough front.))

And because he was a swan I gave him a life mate. The only other being that gets any softness from him.

He was an ex pirate.

Mikhail has no interest in criminals!!! So the captain gave up the pirate life and married a very short tempered bird and gained a lot of weight...because I wanted him chubby.

---

‘’Spider’’, Esi, and dear ol Dad. Despite Reds best efforts to keep Esi out of Osborns hands he still ended up an immensely shady bastard but at least hes not as broken as ‘’Spider’’.

I didnt finish their moms because I couldnt settle on a design for Spiders mum....

Now Spider works for Caedere his beloved boss who would never ever lie to him ever. (Hint: Spiders nature is ‘naive’)

---

I tried revamping Ray and Hebanon...  but Ray still gay as hell for his boy.

I bullied Sparky a little. He’ll probably be fine even if Rays got a Mega evo. Its the name of the game Ray... hes supposed to knock his opponent out... you cant get pissed when ever Hebanon gets fucked up in battle.

---

Did I post these? Am I ever gonna finish these character sheets? No. And look I forgot the most pressing detail of Zippos and thats his fuckin Arbok mark on his back. IM A FOOL.

Kreetan and his mum and dad.

So many little comic things I’ll never finish because theres too many and instead of just stopping and finishing something I keep adding to my unfinished doodles instead. This is why I dont take requests or anything.

I time where Leif and Cyndy actually grow up?

THEY ALL HAVE CAT EARS.

Zippo is curious.

.....AS A CAT.

Polly is here too!! And shes ready to punch someone RIGHT IN THE NOODLE.

I also thought itd be nice to draw out some other Chars of Zippo and Crizs generation.

Theyre.. as you may have guessed are not finished yet.

Clem is a timid lad, Mira... not so much. Very brave

Addy is a modest princess type

Jubilee is a sassy lass.

And Criz. A sweet bashful boy whos never done anything wrong and certainly will not die because no one would be cruel enough to let that happen.

((EYES EMOJI))

Babby Clem, Addy, and Jubilee.

WHO’RE THESE ASSHOLES?!

---

Updated Mistletoe. One spooky righteous(in his own mind) lad.

She only looks stoic to start... but shes quite the weirdo.

She just got here and shes ready to go home. What a mood.

Now for some less polished individuals....

Meh meh meh lookit me IM OMI. Im gonna put three of the exact same Pokemon in the same group so Pwnyta has to suffer tryna come up with different designs.

...But I do like them. I imagine that they remain Ekans because they wont need the mark of their tribe so no one will no where they come from. So spooky.

I was torn between the codename ‘Sundown‘ and ‘Daybreak‘ for Crobat.

By day hes a wholesome trustworthy priest... by night he tortures people for a shady shady bug man. He’ll determine if youre truly innocent.

Doc has to deal with all these fuckin weirdos... he just wants to be a doctor... BUT AT WHAT COST DOC?!

This is a sequel to the doodle comic I was makin in a previous post... Kop and Doc develop an interesting friendship (In Kops mind. Its more a ‘stalker with a crush’ situation) But hey if Kops not being paid then hes got no reason to hurt Doc.

...Docs a fun character to bully because hes so smarmy and small.

---

AND NOW FOR SOME SCIENCE BITCHES.

A man of few words and an intense curiosity with mortal beings and his own existence.

A spooky lad who doesnt quite mean to torment his subordinates... its just his Pressure.

Id imagine his form changes are a bit like Iron Man in IW when hes fighting Thanos.

I drew some more science bitches...

Some casual clothes for the original three stooges.

Shes deaf Franz! She cant hear you.

Ya know IDK if itd be ‘canon‘ that they all met as kids... I just thought itd be cute. Little psychic babies all doofin off together... the most troublesome one being asleep 90% of the time due to being an Abra.... and narcoleptic. Abra sleep so much naturally... Geller sleeps even MORE... thats why hes so incredibly smart even for an Alakazam.

I had a whole little redo sketch comic idea of Mewtwo breakin loose and fuckin shit up.... (its never been finished)

Franz tries to put him to sleep. (it doesnt work. He needs Emanuel and Nola to save him and he gets his arm broken for bein such a cheeky lad.)

Mewtwo doesnt have too much of a problem with Geller due to his soft spot for kids and pure desire for knowledge... but if hes gonna protect the other assholes then PERISH.

Dont worry though big boss Deo wont let his subordinates die let alone the second smartest after him... and saves them all pretty easy. A sharp tentacle arm through the chest will stop even Mewtwo.

Some booboos happen tho...

But hes fine eventually and finds his ex wife home watchin the kids.

Shes promptly expelled.

Geller also goes back for Dilla and steals him. Lifes too short not to adopt an ancient fossil baby.

Emanuel isnt delighted... but he doesnt have the heart to call the authorities on a man who risked his life to save him.

Fossil Mons come in two types-- Resurrected fossils which have the skin color of the primary coloring of their Pokemon form so they can be solid black or blue or red or w/e... Ancestors of ancient Pokemon have normal skin tones.

And another comic sketch idea... where Geller and Roswell are gifted with some fancy new Mega stones... Ros? Not too keen on the idea hes seen what can happen to a bitch when they Mega Evo... he aint got time for that. Geller goes HARD for SCIENCE.

Ros: Geller I know your a spoon guy but stick a fork in that bastard cuz hes done. COOKED. If he thinks im riskin my ass for his bullshit. Lets go tell him off together (im scared to go without you...)

Geller: We experiment on living things all the time for the sake of scientific progress.... are we really too good to be subject to our own studies?

Ros: YES. ABSOLUTELY.

After seeing Geller use his without hesitation, putting his body through a world of hurt for the sake of SCIENCE!!! Ros couldnt pussy out on his boy...

His Mega is just FABULOUS and now he loves it.

--

I was also makin a team with the Pokemon that have the highest stats (non Legends/Psudos/Megas) but I got bored after Blissey. She has a Togekiss wife I didnt finish either... Oh well.

Shes a bold lass and prefers double battles with her support wife. She doesnt like using dangerous moves as its in her nature as a Blissey to heal.

---

(I forgot his whiskers... OH WELL)

I wanted to give Flaminio some people who missed him after he got spirited away by his Ghosts.

After he disappeared people looked for him but he was never found and years and years went by and people stopped looking. Even Clove and Ceto had to move on.

Koban is a loyal bitch though and he never let it go. He still wants his friend back. Hes an old boy now... so old people probably call him ‘Nekomata‘ and wonder when his tail is gonna split.

Mun Name: Nixe

OOC Contact: Tumblr IMs or Discord (mutuals only, preferred method)

Who the heck is my muse anyway:

Alanari is an exiled, raised-Dalish elf whose role in their main verse is the Herald, and later, Inquisitor. They were a scout with the benefit of middling magical talent, though they’re undertrained according to most standards. 

Points of interest:

Alanari was exiled from their clan prior to the Conclave, and reactions from Dalish who know of their ‘crime’ can range from sympathy to hostility. Those who don’t have reason to know may make assumptions, and depending on their closeness, Alanari may correct them. 

They’re an elvhen apostate who is initially suspected of murdering the highest-ranking human religious leader in Thedas, and even once their innocence is proven, distrust likely lingers. 

At some point after the end of the main game, they’re openly in a relationship with an elf hailing from Tevinter. Whoops, more distrust. 

They’re openly disdainful of nobility as a whole, without distinctions made for character or behavior. Their good opinion is hard-earned.

Not long after the first attempt to seal the Breach, Alanari attempts to flee Haven, only to be discovered and coaxed back by Solas.

They use their anger at the injustices committed by the world around them as a shield; to those who don’t care to look deeper, that anger is all they hold, and rather ineffectual, if also annoying. 

What they’ve been up to recently:

They interrupt a ritual and get thrown into the Fade for it, then wake up to find they’re being blamed for events and deaths they can’t recall. They’re reluctant to stay when just about everyone around frightens them, and need encouragement to do so. 

Eventually, they’re too involved to simply walk away (without being caught again), and soon after an enemy finally shows his face. It’s at this point that there’s no turning back, the responsibility outweighs their fear. 

(following Trespasser) 

They leave Orlais to return to the Marches, and their immediate goal is to warn other clans of an increased threat: not Solas himself, necessarily, but any who might fear what he might do and seek to remove his potential allies. 

Secondary to this (but not in terms of less importance) is protecting what refugees they can from others who might prey upon them, from bandits to slavers. Humans (and Vashoth) are sent on their way once safe, and elves are given an offer of a life where they need not exist in fear. 

Thirdly, they learn what they can about the magic which still lingers in forgotten corners of the world. They have no intention of opposing the veil’s removal, but seek to protect the elves as a whole from the aftereffects. 

Where to find them:

Anywhere Corypheus is a threat, and where there are rifts. This canonically ranges as far north as Kirkwall, but I would be interested in the possibility of them even further from the epicenter, say, Rivain (given the PC can contact a seer there to help Cole) or even Antiva. Interestingly, a ship bound for Antiva on the night the Breach formed came into contact with a legendary ship once it had docked, one which appeared to be manned by spirits. 

Additionally, a letter found during Trespasser states that at least one rift was present in Antiva City, and was closed in the spring preceding the Exalted Council.

Within Skyhold, they can be found in their tower, the sparring ring, the barns, and the forge, where it’s not quiet, but where they can have a moment to breathe (and being there reminds them of their father). 

(post-Trespasser) 

Hasmal

Ventus just before and during the Qunari attack 

abandoned elvhen temples

(with even more plotting) in the paths built between eluvians

roaming the Marches and Nevarra

Current plans:

To keep Corypheus from conquering Thedas. A magister from a time when elves, no matter their origin, were even worse off than in modern day, gaining more power is unacceptable. 

(post-trespasser) They finally walk away from the inquisition and all the power it’d given them, in order to live and chase their own desires without restriction. 

finding and rescuing refugees

hunting slavers

learning all they can about the nature and formation of the Veil, as well as possible outcomes of it being removed

exploring undisturbed temples, hoping to find artifacts and lingering magic they can put to use protecting the elves under their protection

Desired interactions:

Arguments regarding the far-reaching decisions they make. One which comes to mind first is the aftermath of the Wardens being banished. Something I’d like to explore is the decision being temporary and is rescinded once Corypheus is out of the picture and thus no longer able to seize direct control of Warden mages, which is something that frightened Alanari immensely. 

Threads with Briala’s other agents, whether canon or OC.

Plotted interactions following the conclusion of trespasser. Alanari leaves Orlais, but they don’t exactly turn into a hermit, they’re active in the Free Marches and sometimes sneak into Tevinter. Possibilities I’m especially interested in are those where they’ve never met, and so your muse wouldn’t recognize them immediately, though there’s also room for them to realize given basic knowledge of what had happened to Alana during Trespasser.  

Offered interactions:

Devout Andrastian muses making assumptions about them based on popular rumor, whether those involve them personally, or the Dalish as a whole, and whether said devout muse is willing to be corrected or not. If the latter, there’s the potential for negative relationship-building. 

Also regarding Andrastians: muses who believe wholeheartedly that Alanari’s god-touched, and either having that affirmed or discouraged based on who they are or the actions they take. 

Comparing differences in magic backgrounds and even just how there are little-referenced distinctions between elvhen and human senses and talents.

In the case of another elf holding political power, Alanari coming to face that anyone is capable of subjugation, and the worldview changes which might stem from that realization. Trespasser builds on this theme, with the inquisitor taking control of events in ways that only hurt their reputation and ultimately forced a drastic change. 

Anything else?:

I prefer at least a little plotting, no matter the verse. In their main, it’s less of an issue (they can go just about anywhere and have access to most world leaders), but in others, I need to establish reasons for there to be interactions, since Alanari is up to things which necessitate some secrecy.

klance + d (I love your writing!!! )

Aaaa thank you so much!!! I don’t do it often and im doing these minifics instead of updating my like.. Acutal big fics lmaooo.. For ref this is gunna actually be a tidbit set in universe of THIS fic of mine!! This is set roughly 7-10 years ahead of canon and the boys are married my dudes. (ho boy it’s still a wip and is like 19k+ words. Please go check it out!! ;;0;; )

“Waking Up.”

There wasn’t a whole lot of days when they got to wake up gradually. It was either blaring alarms, someone’s voice calling over the intercoms (sometimes just an exhausted sounding Pidge calling them to get their asses out of bed.. Sometimes it was Allura’s clipped voice calling them out for drills for the second time, honestly what is taking you two so long. Do not make me come and get you personally) or it was just that one of them was up and didn’t give the other too much time to have a lazy morning in bed.

This day though? None of that applied. Of course Keith stirred around the time he typically woke up for his morning routine, a quick run often with Shiro before a shower and then breakfast, though today he didn’t push the sheets off enough to get out of bed. He remained curled up around Lance, nose pressed to the buzzed hair on the back of his neck. Keith kept his eyes closed as he shifted some, arm snaking more around Lance’s waist, pulling his husband just a tad closer to himself. There was a soft murmur from Lance though nothing else. Keith smiled softly, pressing his lips lightly to the back of Lance’s neck for a fleeting moment.

It was nice to have a morning like this. The team was split for various reasons, Lance and Hunk off on a diplomatic mission on Foblara and Keith heading off to deal with some planning with the Blade. Keith had been back to the castle rather quickly, only pausing in his tasks to make a quick run for some items Lance was running low on. It was a simple meeting with the Blade, but one that had to be done back on one of their bases less prying eyes and prying ears grow partial to the words exchanged. Lance and Hunk took longer. The simple diplomatic mission, that was honestly a breeze for the two charismatic men, went awry. No Galra though there was an assassination attempt. Despite the work they’ve done, they hadn’t won the heart of all in the Universe just yet. Hunk was to head back with Allura soon, but Lance was in the pod for a few varga and they had no plans of sending him back just yet. With that mess relatively taken care of, Keith was more than happy to hold Lance close for now.

Keith was pulled from his thoughts as Lance stirred a bit. Keith let go of him some so that Lance could roll over onto his back, eyes still shut and face mask flaking off a bit. Keith shifted to sit up some, getting a proper look at Lance. A strand of hair fell into his eyes and, in a smooth motion, Lance cracked his eyes open and brushed the strand back.

“Morning, Samurai,” Lance mumbled. His hand lingered, gently brushing along Keith’s cheek.

“Mornin’, Love,” Keith drawled with a gentle hum. “Sleep well?”

“Mhmmmn.. Better than I do in that shitty pod.” Lance grumbled out the last bit and for added effect dropped his hand down to rub his own neck.

“Maybe if you stopped throwing yourself at people you wouldn’t wind up in the pod so often,” Keith teased lightly. While Lance’s selflessness has saved their asses more than once and was something that Keith absolutely loved about Lance, it also was a site for concern.

“Well maaaybe you should tell people to stop shooting at us,” Lance said, voice dripping with snark. His tongue poked out at Keith. “I wouldn’t have to save your asses either if you maybe watched out more.” He snuggled a bit more into the blankets before going to scratch at his chin. He paused, fingertips brushing the dry face mask.

“Might wanna wash that off..” Keith idly commented, moving to lay back down. He lazily reached out to their nightstand to grab his holopad. The screen came to life and a picture of the team came up, Lance was holding the camera, face a bit too close and at the edge of the picture. His hand led back to clasp with Keith’s who was pulled into a tight embrace by Hunk. On the other side of Hunk, Pidge was grinning but also clearly trying to worm her way out, (She had complained about her long hair getting pulled during the hug and Hunk apologized profusely despite her insistence that “no really it’s fine!”) Allura had an arm partially thrown around them and Shiro and Coran were squeezed into the frame. Keith smiled softly at the photo and with a flick of the wrist, it was dismissed as the reports and agendas came up. His eyes flickered over to Lance as he sluggishly pulled himself out of bed.

“We don’t have much to do today.. Want to go out or stay in today..?” Keith called out as Lance disappeared into the adjoining bathroom.

“Go out!” There was the sound of a few bottles being knocked over, the tap running and a beat of silence before Lance slid out. Keith chuckled with an amused look.

“Baby, I’m taking you out on an amazing date today,” he purred, striking a bit of a pose and lidding his eyes some. Keith couldn’t help but laugh.

PSA: Plagiarism/Resurfacing of Manipulative Person

Beth/Noelle/Meg/Wesley/Ash/Elle ( dormre/longbottmwrites/ elleswrites )

It’s been months of watching and seeing as Beth has just wormed her way back in the community and while I had someone who was once close to her tell me themselves that elleswrites/Elle was Beth months ago, there hasn’t been a way to prove it. Not only that but for a few years now, she has taken aspects and parts of a canon character that I have worked hard on making divergent from fanon which I will start with in this PSA. Please know that I don’t want to be doing this, and while the copying is important, her behaviors towards others is much more so. The fact of the matter is, Elle/Beth is a manipulative person who has plagiarized and manipulated people in the past and is now trying to do it again. First, I’ll start with the stolen headcanons and later on I’ll get into some proof on how I came to the conclusion, with evidence, that Elle is Beth -- besides just multiple people agreeing with me on the subject. 

IN CASE YOU DON’T KNOW WHO BETH IS: Beth is someone who’s plagiarized multiple times and gotten called out for it [ x ], not only that, but was abusive to her friends and manipulative as well [ x ]. Here’s is one PSA made about her, as she also ran a blog called rppositivity [ x ] Not only that, but in the past she has gone by multiple alias’ ( which everyone is entitled to ) that I listed above, not just as a change of name, but as a change of person, claiming to be several different people. Has joined RPs this way, has bullied people including 16 year olds, and manipulated them into doing a PSA for her. Not only that but for those of you who will probably say ‘but this is in the past’ and ‘maybe she’s changed’ it doesn’t change the fact that this happened less than a year ago and that she’s doing old behaviors again. Here’s a whole tag that goes into more of what she’s done, etc. [ x ] 

HEADCANONS/IDEAS STOLEN: 

FIRSTLY: the sunflower headcanon.  This first post is from a blog of mine ( which I can show you by link but i only took a screenshot of the HC and date. ). This HC I’ve had for a VERY long time, I could probably pull out an app from an account where I have it saved privately on a sideblog. [ x ] 

Here’s Beth/Elle from a talk tag making the same headcanon: [ x ] 

SECONDLY: Collecting memories headcanon. 

Here’s a description on a blog of mine, I provided the URL, it’s been up for a while this blog. [ x ] 

Then, Beth/Elle’s headcanon from the same mock blog. [ x ] 

I think it’s very evident that she took that headcanon from me, as she even goes so far as to mention jewelry in her own headcanon. 

THIRDLY: My Alice has always been a deeply athletic person. In this post here, and many posts I’ll link after, it shows evidence of my Alice doing rigorous physical activity. [ x ]

 Here’s the exact thread/post with the timestamp -- THREE MONTHS AGO [ x ] 

Here’s Beth/Elle’s more recent post of her making one of her character’s archetypes the Athlete. [ x ]

Here are more mentions of my Alice’s physical activity and training. This is simply just extra proof of this characterization with Alice being very into physical fitness and activity. If you look at the collecting memories headcanon, you’ll see her mentioning she does martial arts. That’s only part of it.: 

Here’s the first thing [ x ] [ x ] that are from this account [ x ]

Other mentions in musings [ x ] [ x ] 

If you need links to these to prove time and date, please IM me, though it should be in these posts and/or able to look up. 

I also mention in that post that Alice loves cats and dogs, but especially dogs. Beth/Elle did make a headcanon on her alongbtminps making the same claim on her headcanon. Another long running headcanon I’ve had. Though, that’s, I believe, more common for an Alice to have ( i think ) so I’m not going to link it -- I just thought I’d point it out. Later in on this post, on a stat sheet it says that Alice loves cats and dogs. On Elle/Beth’s Alice inspo blog, she shares that same headcanon.

Here’s a few musings posts that, while I know anyone can reblog, this evidence above plus the fact that Beth/Elle used to do this years back and last year from my Alice tag on other blogs ( though I don’t have evidence of that because her old blog was deleted ), I’ve been waiting a few days for it to pile up.

My blog dated November 14th [ x ] 

Her mockblog, dated November 19th [ x ] 

My blog three weeks ago, as you see it says ‘3 weeks ago’ if you need the exact date, I’m sure I could get it for you. [ x ] 

As you can see, she reblogged it STRAIGHT from my blog and Alice tag. [ x ] 

The rest of the stealing ideas / things evidence I have I unfortunately don’t have ALL of it to show but besides all this, I have some mobile screenshots of her taking certain pins from my Alice pinterest board, which I now privated due to her taking things. I don’t have the notification anymore of her taking pins from it,  but just know I blocked her from a different Pinterest account that called her out as Beth/Elle, where she then deleted the Alice Fortescue/Longbottom board, that she also took pins from. I had to block her a second time when she did this as well from her new account. She also took a picture from my Alice pinterest board ( which is very far down in her board ) and has it has her icon on Pinterest.

My Alice board [ x ] 

Her Pintrest [ x ]  NOTE!!! It says Elle B. 

 ( Also, to add though ANYONE can use any faceclaim -- this simply just adds to her watching me/my characterization. Last year she used Lindsey Morgan as Alice, right after I started using her as Alice. More recently, she's been using Deborah Ann Woll as Alice on her mockblog  -- who I used as Alice when I posted that first headcanon. This is a little MINOR thing but it shows she's been around and watching. It adds up. ) 

THIS BRINGS ME TO, Elle = Beth. 

Besides the name of Elle B., here’s proof that her old Alice blog, porcelaindagger, was her [ x ] 

Alice’s home life in both her mockblog alongbtminsp and porcelaindagger are EXTREMELY similar. In Beth’s post on Elleswrites, she mentions Alice’s dad’s name is Henry [ x ] 

If you read the rest of the description on her mother [ x ] 

Then, on porcelaindagger -- Henry Fortescue [ x ] 

Also, a description of her mother which is EERILY similar to alongbtminsp/elleswrites mother even if they have different names [ x ] Here’s a more up close screenshot -- I just wanted to provide that with the url of the blog. [ x ]  Not only that, but here’s her mother talking on the blog about her views of Alice being an Auror etc. [ x ] [ x ] 

Then it says, on Alice’s character sheet on porcelaindagger that she loves ANYTHING Shakespeare [ x ] 

On elleswrites mockblog alongbtm first moodboard for Alice, she uses a Shakespeare quote. [ x ] 

You have to understand that Beth/Elle fooled me for a few months? I thought it was a different person, I was really friendly with her, she would tag me in things as well on my personal blog. I'm usually excellent at tracing this kind of thing. The minute someone told me it was her, it made sense, because a lot of the formatting is the same, both Beth and Elle love Twilight dearly, there's just a lot of other similarities. But I was really fooled with her personality and just how she was with me, and I had no idea. 

Now, I figure, she talked to me and was nice to me to get close to me so I wouldn’t see the similarities? That she was being manipulative by being nice and kind, tagging my personal blog in things, etc. I was fooled by it but when someone else mentioned and pointed it out to me, it made complete sense. I’ve known for a few months now and not known what to do, have been scared and I hope that this is enough to at least warn people that it is her. 

This has caused me a lot of anxiety, truly, for the past couple of years and I can’t imagine how the people she was directly horrible, abusive and manipulative to feel and felt with her around once again. To have her get way with this once again. 

Even with all this evidence, I hope that you DO NOT send Elle/Beth/Wesley/Meg/Noelle any anon hate. In fact, please don’t send her any anon hate. In the past when she’s gotten anon hate, she’s used it to victimize herself and garner sympathy. Besides that, it’s just not right.

Anyways, I don’t want to be doing this but I felt I had to, and honestly -- she’s not doing a great job at hiding it. Even if you don’t believe me, I think at this point it’s good to get the suspicion/facts out in the open because I know for A FACT that I’m not the only person who thinks that elleswrites is Beth. 

Thank you for reading.

[annieoftheshitposts]

this post used to be a link to the old canons page but i’m turning it into a text dump of the revised one for people on mobile [or who have bad wifi/computers that the fancy schmancy script on the canons page wouldn’t play well with.] theres a lot sorry not sorry. here we go.

Canon Info

 Much more is said about Annie in external sources than the game itself, here's copypastes of all I know of and go by.

From the 3rd DLC Character Voting page:

As popular figures in nationwide folktales, a children’s television adaptation of Annie and Sagan’s adventures was inevitable. The show’s success lies in its pair of live action hosts, who are as convincing as their cartoon counterparts. Though what the public learns about the real Annie might surprise them. Annie is a seasoned fighter who has been around for a long time, acquiring many skills and powers along the way. Her sword is forged from a meteorite and can channel the power of the stars in its sweeping cleaves. Her right eye bonds her to her Remote Parasite and partner, Sagan, who grants her powers of a galactic motif. While some of her abilities carry more of a sparkly magical girl motif, Annie tries to execute them with the same sternness.

From "The canon info thread" on Skullheart Encore forums:

-Annie is several-century-old. Her immortality was gained when her parents wished on the Skull Heart so that Annie would never have to experience the hardship of adulthood, thereby making her forever a child. -She has had many different weapons and abilities throughout her life. - Sagan, her remote parasite. keeps her right eye in his mouth. - She’s physically not able to swear due to her condition - She is familiar with Double due to her experience fighting Skullgirls - Annie has encountered a lot of Skullgirls and has killed a lot, but not the same a lot. She’s seen the cycle multiple times and seen how they become stronger each time and is looking for the underlying source now. - The Annie of the Stars show is very similar to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show with live action segments with cartoons and PSAs and commercials in between. - Sagan can talk. Somehow. - Annie hides her immortality by getting a new hairstyle every few years. The show tells the audience that they have simply changed the actress. Eliza also pulls a similar trick

and finally some other misc. scraps that weren't covered above:

-annie has some kind of "super" or "powered up" form, in which she seems to fuse with sagan. it can be seen on her

move concept sheet, in the end of robo-fortune's story mode, and as a very tiny feature on one of robo-fortune's merch posters, but to my knowlege it's never really been talked about.

-she's been depicted with an "incognito outfit", presumably for going out in public and not being recognized by fans.

-sagan is named after renowned astrophysicist carl sagan. this isnt really relevant to anything but it's not on the wiki so i figured i'd share :b

-and this random pic of annie in the past with a different look, plus gun and minus eyepatch, apparently official art from the "digital art compendium". i haven't seen the source for this one myself though, and count this one more as speculative canon since that ingame image up there with her eye uncovered doesn't show a scar or any kind of damage from this.

-another canon fact about annie is she is strong and brave and i love her.

Headcanon (Annie)

this is pretty disorganized bc i come up with and revise random shit on a fairly regular basis, but the very least it should be all here and up-to-date. [though on this text post version i may forget to keep it updated oops.

she can still only normally see from the one eye in her head [and likewise probably has terrible depth perception lmao], but she can “project” her vision into the one sagan has if need be, during which time both he and her main eye are blind.

even though sagan’s vision is his own and she doesn’t actively “see” through that eye most of the time, the stuff he sees still becomes part of her memory and she can recall it if need be, though it’s far less tangible and kind of a surreal experience trying to do so.

the space where her other eye was is now just...space. like empty starry void stuff. yes, TECHNICALLY, you could put stuff in it but why would you. sagan can feel when something interacts with it and it’s really just weird and uncomfortable for both of them.as sagan is the source of their powers, the strength of her abilities is slightly dependent on her distance from him. something like long sustained flight is really only capable if they’re touching, but she still has ample firepower and ability to zip around for a pretty good range otherwise.

Not interested in anime

absolutely hates being called her full name; hasn't gone by anything other than "Annie" for longer than anyone that should be alive today should know.

part of her curse of eternal youth is remembering everything up until the point it kicked in and she stopped aging [i.e. when she was Actually a kid] exactly as well as if she hadn’t aged.

from that point however, a lot of it is hazy as shit aside from more recent times [as you’d expect from someone who’s been around hundreds of years]. this one's gonna be angsty as shit when i address it and you can thank @sandstriker for that. fucker.

also hates being restrained. by the concept sheet and beo's story, her fighting style is very kinetic and relies heavily on mobility; take that away and you get one very uncomfortable and very angry starchild. [this one's 'cause of y'all with the handcuffs asks. this is part of why she's so agitated rn.]

what's in the pouch? whatever is alternatively convenient. is it snacks? is it a quick incognito disguise? is it her whole entire sword? who knows. i think it might be infinite hammerspace in there.

i haven't put much though into this side of her story yet, but i've decided part of the mythos of the "annie of the stars" character as a figure of legend is that she literally lives, among the stars.

if there's enough folktales about her to base an entire show off of, i'm willing to bet she used to be less elusive when she was just about fighting skullgirls before dedicating herself to the whole "looking for the underlying source" thing.

Headcanon (Sagan)

tl;dr: as far as things go here, he's essentially a cat and/or younger sibling.

Sagan's canon information and characterization is basically nonexistant, so i got to do pretty much whatever i wanted with him lmao.

simply put, he's a little gremlin of a partner, but he is genuinely good-natured and a happy-go-luckly little dude. mischevious, loves to get up to Shenanigans, go off and hide/disappear to fuck knows where for several hours, climb and sit on tall things[or failing that, annie's head], etc. @sawkinator has described him, regrettably accurately, as "the Token Disney Animal Sidekick". he has a lot of mannerisms like an animal, but is still very much a being of at least average human intelligence. he's also surprisingly indestructible. far from invincible of course, but in canon he's been shown to be quite stretchy and...possibly have minor shapeshifting capabilities?? he's pretty much immune to being squashed and feels very little [if any] pain from most things. really, as far as i can tell he's pretty much a weird sentient plushie. like, if it's not going to damage a plushie, it's not going to hurt him; examples being: getting knocked back really hard or falling a long way? not a problem. fire? problem.

Sagan tends to be somewhat nonverbal and generally only uses a few words or short phrase at a time when he does speak, which sounds something like the voice clip below. that being how it is, he can be kind of inscrutable and more than a bit jarring to most people--though at this point annie's been with him more than long enough to be completely desensitized to it and doesnt quite get why anyone would be perturbed. fortunately, with that familiarity also comes understanding, and she can easily "translate" and articulate more from his expressions. this understanding is a two-way street, and on its other side is sagan's sensitivity to her moods. annie's not particularly...communicative of her emotions, but sagan can always tell when she's having an off day or something's bothering her, and is far better than anyone at helping her feel better. all things said and quirky antics aside, he and annie are exceptionally close and fiercely protective of eachother the moment it comes to it. they don't make a big deal of showing it outwardly, but they know they've always got eachother's backs.

he's taken quite a liking to beowulf as well, and beo defintiely shamelessly enables sagan's shenanigans.

as i see it, annie may be the passion and power of their operation, but sagan is the heart and soul. beowulf is like....comic releif and emotional support. not entirely necessary, but certainly welcomed to have around. yeah. listen im a big sap i just want them all to be good friends ok. i love them.

also sagan does like and watch a lot of anime.

Blog Canon

miscellaneous happenings that either have continued relevance/significance, or y'all just won't let die. there's not a overarching plot to this thing at all, but geez we’ve kinda gathered some history here huh?

taught sagan to say fuck [and other swears, in her stead]. he used to have to do it on command but he's gotten really good at filling in for her.has a

stoat fursona that beo helped her make. she thinks it's neat/cute but has no real attachment to it.

attempted to sue the crystal gems for ripping off her entire shtick [it didn't go well]

beowulf also taught her how to dab.

@sparkeletran is a nuisance and must be stopped

the 70$ pile of high school musical merch. sagan and beo both wear the t-shirts sometimes. she hates it. don't let her attitude fool you though this is actually the best and most important ongoing joke in this whole damn thing.

the first handcuffs stint. they’re gone now but they had a good ~30-post run, and she did take to learning lockpicking because of it.

this.

hey. guess fucking what lads. handcuffs ROUND TWO 'cause y'all just don't fuckin' quit. the first mini story arc sorta thing, in which she visits the cirque des cartes and has an aggravting encounter with taliesin. [currently ongoing][hopefully soon ending]

[[redacted for ""spoilers""]] due to said encounter with taliesin

sparkeletran is a nuisance,

"the official annie of the stars instagram is just cat memes but with sagan" it's canon but i haven't decided whether it's something she would have had already or a recent thing. [either way, hasn't been touched on yet due to the arc taking so long]

badart annie is sorta like her own thing at this point but nothing that happens with her is canon; she p much just shows up for exceptionally dumb posts. we did give her noclip though which is terrifying. on that note i may as well include the things that are Not canon but y'all won't let me forget

beo's animated belt thing. look. it doesnt talk.

spray-on boots.

the lawnmower weapon

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh homestuck

Be sure to TAG THE PLAYERS WHOSE CHARACTERS YOU WANT MORE CUES TO INTERACT WITH, and REPOST, DON’T REBLOG! Feel free to add or remove sections as you see fit. Template here.

MUN NAME: Hannah OOC CONTACT: I prefer through the inbox, but the IM is also acceptable (either way it’s likely you’ll have to wait a day or two!!) and, if we get to talking a good bit I also have skype !

You should know that I am a very scattered person and sometimes it’s like an entire week in between me logging into this blog but it’s nothing against you!! I just have very limited focus.

WHO THE HECK IS MY MUSE ANYWAY:

To quote myself joking about the whole situation: “like, a trust fund princess, but for the mob.” Lu is a businesswoman by day and professional thief by night.  She comes from a bloodline (passed through matriarchal heritage) that is tied strongly to an organization of assassins and thieves ((think Black Widow “Red Room” but less .. well, just less)) The only reason she wasn’t raised a killer is because she was (per her late mother’s wishes) raised by her brother instead. The real irony comes in when you realize she became a thief anyway because of her brother’s ties to a criminal syndicate. Now that I’ve said all that and you expect a queen of darkness: she’s an actual sweetheart who is very lively and sociable and generous. She has created and supported more charities than I could feasibly list, and there’s a 100% chance she wants to invade your muses’ privacy for one reason or another.

POINTS OF INTEREST:

She’s been appearing in various news and tabloids fairly regularly since 2013, with a significant increase the last six months due to the “unsure” future of her business. She’s young and POC and queer and the head of a fortune five hundred company: as many friends and allys as she has, there’s more than a few out there (rivals as well as just general not-so-nice people) who don’t hesitate to drag her name through the mud any chance they get for any reason, so it’s an equal chance to have heard something bad about her as it is to have seen her making a headline. She also has something of a lack of respect for leaving things untouched, meaning that if she sees something she’s curious about, she’s going to pick it up or touch it, etc. She’s very tactile and sometimes people think it’s weird?

WHAT THEY’VE BEEN UP TO RECENTLY:

So much. Building up the family company and bearing on down anyone who has any potential involvement in her brother’s death or sister’s threatened safety. In her down time she actually has been a little more introverted than usual, finding that some social settings drain her out more than they used to. I use the term “down time” loosely though - she’s the type to keep busy to keep from being overwhelmed by her heavier emotions, so she’s definitely been clocking a lot of time just doing things. Anything that seems like it’s worth the time.

WHERE TO FIND THEM:

At work, obviously, or on “other” business. She’s also likely to be found at galas and events in the city (and sometimes abroad.) More accessibly, she’s known to frequent cafes for the fun drinks and also to people watch. She also does a decent amount of charity work, so you might see her somewhere like a woman’s shelter or something. And, of course, there’s always the “just around” option (walking her dog, shopping, etc.)

CURRENT PLANS:

Nothing too set in stone - I like to sort of just go with the flow of threads and also I never know what my next idea is going to be. That said: mostly just her dealing with trying to keep her reputation(s) up whilst chaos surrounds her. 

DESIRED INTERACTIONS:

Honestly? All the things. I love any interaction and dynamic I get.   The more chaos the better >:)

If I were to pick things though: I’ve always wanted something more like an openly hostile relationship for Lu to be tangled in, just because it hasn’t really come up. I also think it would be interesting to see a more “professional” relationship, as Lu tends to be really informal with a lot of her contacts. Also I’ve been trying to get someone to play her younger sister for 9ever so that would also be really cool if maybe somebody wanted to try that? She kinda could use some close lean-on-your-shoulder type friends right now too, but will probably never admit that.

AND OH YEAH : I wanna play with AUs more? Like I love OCs and Lu’s original verses but I want more interactions with canon characters in their worlds tbh. I had a TWD verse and a Supernatural verse and I never got to really mess with those?? But I definitely want to play around with more AUs.

OFFERED INTERACTIONS:

Anything revolving around this mess that’s being made of her double identities! For instance: someone else’s muse could take responsibility for her brother’s death or the attacks on her sister, or we could just plot out them having some information about it, etc.

And, of course, there’s always: -Your muse hiring Lu -Your muse getting hired by Lu -Your muse and Lu working together for some reason

CURRENT OPEN POSTS:

None right now! But I hope to put one or two up soon.

ANYTHING ELSE?:

This took me forever to respond to and I apologize.

Mun name: Miyu/Myka/Mint OOC Contact:  IM’s, or ask for my discord drop. I sometimes suck at replying to instant messages in time, but I’ll try my best!

Who the heck is my muse anyway:

Shinjiro Aragaki of Persona 3, a founding member of the anti-Shadow group by the name of SEES. A tragic accident involving the then 16-year-old losing control of his Persona and resulting in the death of a single mother caused Shinjiro to leave his team behind one and a half years before the main plot’s timeline and to live in a constant state of self-loathing and guilt over said event, isolating himself from others completely. He initially tries to forget about his trauma, coping in extremely unhealthy ways (both physically and mentally) - though as he is unable to do so, his past catches up with him in the form of a revenge plot and is what eventually leads Shinjiro to an unfortunate fate of either death or a several months long coma, depending on the version of the game.

Points of interest:

1) Despite his scary looks and seemingly tough and intimidating attitude and presence, Shinjiro carries deep down an extremely caring and warm personality, constantly worrying and looking after others. He keeps this trait hidden to his best ability as his desire is to appear strong and reliable, though no matter the effort put into the tough guy act his true nature tends to constantly shine through in various ways regardless. If your muse happens to be in trouble or danger, you may just be able to count on Shinjiro to save the day - or at least take care of the aftermath, as his concern and selfless willingness to help often reaches out to anyone in need (and deserving) of help, not limited to his friends and loved ones.

2) In canon timeline Shinjiro is plagued with feelings of burdening guilt and self-loathing at almost all times due to an accident he cannot stop blaming himself for. This results in distant, standoffish and defensive behavior, pushing or attempting to push others (especially those worried for him) away. Keep this in mind in regards to interacting with my muse in this timeline especially; he won’t share - and if he shares it is hugely dependent on the person and he still won’t share a whole lot. In addition to this, Shinjiro is an introvertby nature and will rarely approach another person unless they are a close friend or in need of help, or otherwise forced to co-operate and interact. He also generally doesn’t talk much.

3) Shinjiro loves two things above others: animals and cooking. Especially dogs will cause the boy to smile and act a lot less on guard than usual (as long as no other people are around to witness it), revealing once again his true, gentle nature. Cooking on the other hand is more than just a hobby for the young man, but instead a passion. Leave it to Shinjiro to cook a meal resembling in its quality something taken straight out of a cookbook, to teach others about the secrets of the craft or to shame you for your eating or cooking habits. Getting him to cook you something may still be somewhat of a difficult task, extremely dependent on the situation as well as the inquirer.

What they’ve been up to recently:

Dependent on the timeline and/or the verse.

In a canon (or P3P’s FeMc route) verse before Shinjiro rejoins the ranks of SEES, Shinjiro will be living most of his days and nights on the streets, wandering around and helping those in trouble or alternatively, taking part in shady deals with a group of criminals by the name of Strega. Shinjiro’s health is in a constantly deteriorating state due to the use of Persona-suppressants (a drug used to seal away or control one’s Persona) that he gets from the group in exchange of these deals, resulting in more or less noticeable symptoms in addition to the strained state of his mental health. In the same verse a little later on Shinjiro will be part of his old team once more, fighting alongside his friends and eradicating Shadows for one full month before his eventual departure - making his time limited and scarce and thus affecting the threads based on this verse in many ways.

This blog will also include verses of anything before the game’s main plot’s timeline, including timelines such as: childhood, pre-SEES (2007), SEES’ first fighting days before Shinjiro’s accident (2007) – as well as anything after the fact before April 2009.

In a post-Nyx verse Shinjiro is a coma survivor, resurfacing from his coma after the events of October 4th sometime in early February, though he is dispatched from the hospital later in April. Shinjiro will no longer be depending on the use of suppressants, his health slowly but surely returning and improving. A chain of events also leads to the boy’s closure regarding his trauma and reconciliation with Ken, resulting in Shinjiro’s resolution, evolved Persona and a gradually improving state of mental health as well - able to finally stop obsessing over his past trauma. He is a returning student of Gekkoukan High, now one grade behind his own age group, working diligently in order to finally graduate high school and through that get his life back in order. This verse is my blog’s MAIN AU, and a lot of interactions deemed impossible or unlikely in the canon verse may or may not be set to happen in this verse. It is also the only verse in which romantic shipping occurs (not counting crushes or something lowkey that isn’t dating, etc). The default version of this verse is somewhat of a “everyone survives” type of an ideal, alternate world in which Nyx is sealed with some additional help, though depending on some details I am willing to RP a version including the protagonist’s death as well. This AU welcomes the male MC as the protagonist as well despite coma route originally being FeMc exclusive, though some details will obviously change.

— Crossovers and other AU-type of deals will be discussed case by case.

Where to find them:

Back alley of Port Island Station

Iwatodai dormitory

Tartarus

Iwatodai Strip Mall, more specifically Hagakure’s

Any given place in Port Island

Gekkoukan High (pre oct 4 2007 & AU only)

Current plans:

1) Redemption. To pay for causing the death of Ken Amada’s mother - in any way the boy in question sees fitting, going as far as to be willing to forfeit his life for the cause.

2) Protect and look after loved ones. Shinjiro keeps a close eye on his friends, worrying and looking after their health, safety and needs to the best of his ability.

3) Getting his “shit together”. AU verse. Finally (even if a year late) graduating high school. Finding a job (preferably cooking related) and a place to stay in. Settling down.Maintaining his health - both mental and physical. Maintaining and improving his relationships. Fulfilling his new resolution by living looking after and watching over the boy whose life he’d once ruined. Honoring his new, second chance at a better life.

4) To fight alongside his friends once more. AU verse. In order to redeem himself for the loss of progress and the trouble he once caused SEES (Akihiko and Mitsuru) with his departure, Shinjiro decides to participate in the activities of the Shadow Operatives later on and for some time. This is also to take full advantage of his new, stronger and now stable Persona, as well as to ensure Amada’s chance at a normal childhood as much as possible by filling in for him whenever needed.

5) To lead a normal life. AU verse. Sometime after his mid twenties, Shinjiro will forfeit all Persona-related fighting once more in order to lead a life free of all things related to Shadows and Persona, to live life as a normal citizen. He may never be able to fully leave Shadow-related things out of his life due to his close ties with other Persona-users, but it is no longer what his life revolves around.

Desired interactions:

1) DEVELOPING ALREADY ESTABLISHED BONDS. Exploring and developing the familial bond between Shinjiro and Akihiko - all timelines included. Exploring and developing the boy’s friendship with Mitsuru, an old friend and teammate. Exploring and developing (and fixing) Shinjiro’s bond with Minako, including a possible romantic relationship first unsuccessfully established in the Portable-timeline prior to October 4 and finally given a second chance in the main AU verse. Developing Shinjiro’s extremely complex relationship with Ken, especially after Ken’s change of heart toward the older male. I also need a Koromaru to RP with, seriously.

2) GETTING TO KNOW THE REST OF SEES. I want more interactions with the rest of SEES too. All of them. From Shinjiro being a “super senpai” (direct quote) to Junpei to the Hierophant being a cooking instructor to Fuuka. I also need to establish relationships with characters like Minato, Yukari and Aigis as the games particularly lack interactions between Shinjiro and these three. At least that’s how I feel like.

3) STREGA. Shinjiro shares a rather interesting, complex and conflicting relationship between Strega. They aren’t friends, but they aren’t necessarily enemies either (that is until Shinjiro decides to rejoin SEES). A lot goes on between them, Shinjiro somewhat trapped in this troubling situation. Where did it all begin, how did they find out about each other? How do they interact outside of their shady business deals and blackmail? How does each Strega member feel about Shinjiro? These are all things I need to know.

4) Interactions with characters from other Persona games can always turn out to be rather interesting, Persona-users or not (and “normal people” in P3′s universe too!). I am also very open to crossovers of any kind. Don’t be afraid to approach me even if our characters have never canonically met each other. OCs are welcome too, as long as I am able to learn enough about them from you to know how to interact at all.

5) Childhood threads, adulthood threads etc. Anything outside of the canon timeline deeply intrigues me and is something I desire to develop and explore.

Offered interactions:

1) FRIENDSHIP, COMPANIONSHIP AND SUPPORT. As is mentioned in my rules, I am not someone very open to romantic shipping as a personal preference of mine: my muse for it is extremely picky. Friendships of any kind are hugely encouraged, however! Even if my muse may not be the easiest to get to know up, close and personal, deep down he is quite kind, friendly and caring and it may not take a whole lot for him to care enough to worry about your muse as well, even if they don’t yet know each other super well. Perhaps our characters could be fighting alongside each other toward a mutual goal? Characters that are already friends or acquaintances with Shinjiro may also be able to explore various types of interactions and situations and further development. Whichever the case, I will rarely (possibly never) turn down a friendship of some sort with my muse. Shinjiro needs friends. He is also the ideal character for a big brother -type of a relationship, which is why I’ll be super hyped to RP friendships with child muses as well.

2) COMPLEX, UNPLEASANT INTERACTIONS. As much as I love tender feelings and friendship and as easy as it is to make Shinjiro care for your muse, it isn’t hard to make him dislike someone either if they end up crossing the Hierophant’s strong, personal values deeply enough. Or perhaps your muse has something against Shinjiro for whatever reason? I want complex and unpleasant situations and relationships that cause deep and conflicting feelings and opinions. Good example of this is Strega, which I mentioned previously, though other characters may be able to develop similar (mutual or not) distaste with Shinjiro as well. Misunderstandings, blackmail or other threats, fighting, enemies, grudges, danger and more - all are situations I’m interested to explore.

3) ANGST. Let’s be real, Shinjiro may just be your go-to muse for some angsty interactions, angsty as is his whole backstory as well as his whole character during the canon timeline. Due to this fact angst from my muse may or may not be guaranteed to happen at least to some degree at some point in time, but it may be easy to explore your own character’s angsty feelings or situation with the help of my muse as well.

4) Any type of plotting and just casual interactions too are extremely welcome! I am super open for pre-established relationships, new verses and AUs. If you have an idea or wish to interact with me, don’t be afraid to send me stuff, to contact me or like my starter calls etc. I am here to write and explore both different kinds of relationships as well as my own muse; his feelings, thoughts, motives and development and I tend to think all interactions contribute to it at least to some degree.

Current open post/s:

Starter call

Anything else?:

Generally a bit slow due to my poor concentration at times, fatigue and awful sleep schedule. Super eager to interact with all kinds of muses though! Still getting into P5 and mapping out my verse for it; I do want to RP with your P5 muse but please be patient - coming up with good ideas is harder and slower when you don’t 100% yet know what you want. Will get done though. Same applies for muses of any other series I may not be familiar with or don’t yet have a verse for and OCs, possibly.  I am not chronological with my replies either, but simply answer according to what I have the most muse for at that moment. Thank you for your patience!!

Tagging: Everyone. This post is super useful!

Rated M for abuse, sexual content, and discussion of rape/non-con.  Canon-typical violence.

Summary: It’s Ral Zarek’s sixth year at Hogwarts. And everything would be fine if Jace wasn’t totally occupied with his new girlfriend, to the point where it’s honestly kind of weird, and Ral’s starting to be concerned.

Chapter Fourteen: Mending Touch

           Jace poked at his food. He was huddled in his cloak in front of one of the many little alcoves in the library. Technically, food wasn’t allowed, but Jace didn’t give a fuck, and the teachers seemed willing to overlook minor infractions on his part right now. Which they damn well should, he thought bitterly, and then felt his stomach turn over. He didn’t deserve special treatment, no matter what anyone said.

           He probably should eat. He was hungry in a sort of distant way, but everything seemed so tasteless that it was difficult to get himself to eat. And Ral still wasn’t awake. He kept asking and asking, but every time he asked he got the same answer, “he’s doing fine, but the nerves aren’t healed yet, it’s better if he stays asleep.”

           How did they know? He’d tried reading everything he could lay his hands on about the Cruciatus Curse, but he’d had to stop doing that after he’d thrown up over a part of the Restricted Section he probably shouldn’t have had access to in the first place. He’d managed to clean it up and leave before anyone found him, but the books hadn’t been happy. Several of them had followed him around for the rest of the day, complaining in rustly, incomprehensible voices.

           Someone shoved a very garish image of a cartoon sandwich into his head. Mirko could have been subtler, but they seemed to be trying to make it easy for Jace to know when someone else was in his head. Jace was very carefully not thinking about the fact that, although it was true that Mirko could get under the protections of his cloak, he was pretty sure he’d heard snatches of other thoughts even from inside. That shouldn’t be happening. That shouldn’t be possible.

           “I’m not hungry,” Jace sighed, out loud. His stomach rumbled. The cartoon sandwich grew eyes and looked at him accusingly. “Okay, I am hungry, but I don’t want to eat.”

           Ral wasn’t eating, after all, Jace thought mulishly. Of course, he was in the hospital wing and getting all of his food magically, but it sounded suitably dramatic in Jace’s head. There was the suggestion of a sigh in the back of his mind, and a cold wind brushed against his neck like a not-quite-corporeal touch. The banishment had left Mirko somewhat less willing to take a solid form. Jace was just glad that somehow the boggart had managed to use their connection to hang onto his memories, in spite of the love potion clouding his mind at the time.

           “Jace?” Jace froze. It was Professor Lovegood’s voice. Pulling the hood of his cloak up, Jace felt for his wand, wondering if he should try out that invisibility charm he’d pulled out of Liliana’s head. Before he could make up his mind, Kallist shot up into the air, spitting lightning in every direction.

           “Kallist, no!” Jace hissed, but it was too late. Professor Lovegood poked her head around the bookshelf.

           “Oh, hello,” she said. “You know, if you get the books some rubbing alcohol, they’ll probably calm down.”

           “The books?” Jace echoed, trying to sound innocent. One particularly irritable one chose that moment to snap closed on his ankle, and he yelped.

           “Yes, I upset them earlier this year, so I’ve tried to make sure I knew the kinds of things they liked.” Jace hadn’t paid much attention during Herbology this year—or any class—so he wasn’t sure if Professor Lovegood usually had that wide, vaguely dreamy smile on her face.

           “Um, I see.”

           “In any case, Hermione—Professor Granger, I mean—sent me to tell you that Mr. Zarek is awake.”

           Jace stopped trying to surreptitiously nudge the book away and looked up at her. It was suddenly difficult to breathe. “He—he is? Is he—okay? Can I see him? Or—does he—want to see me?”

           Professor Lovegood smiled. “He’s feeling much better, although his nerves are just a little oversensitive still, so Madam Pomfrey is trying to get him to stay in bed. I think his exact words were, ‘Tell Jace to get his ass down here, or I’ll soak the entire Hospital Wing.’ You should probably go down, because I think Madam Pomfrey looked like she really wished she could give him detention.”

           Ral was bored. After his first waking hour of lying around in the hospital wing, most of the tingling pain in his nerves had subsided, leaving him slightly achey and very restless. Madam Pomfrey always seemed to force people to stay in bed about five times longer than they wanted to, and Ral was getting really concerned about Jace. Jace had already had issues that Ral didn’t really know how to help, though he thought he’d been getting better. But now—

           Someone knocked on the door. “Who is it?” he yelled irritably. If it was Madam Pomfrey with another foul-smelling potion, he might just “accidentally” have an electrical outburst and shatter the damn thing.

           The door opened a crack. “It’s me,” Jace said, so quietly Ral almost didn’t hear him. “Can I come in?”

           “Yeah, of course.” Ral wriggled upright. “How are you?”

           Jace stopped in the doorway and blinked. Kallist was hovering nervously over his head. “I—I’m fine. How are you?”

           “Aching a little, I guess. I don’t think I still need to be in bed, but you know what the teachers are like. Way too careful about all the wrong fucking things.”

           For another moment or two, Jace dithered in the doorway, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet in a way Ral hadn’t seen him do in years. Finally, he practically ran across the room to Ral’s bed and sank onto it. “I’m sorry,” he muttered into his cloak. “Oh god, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.” Something wet fell onto Ral’s hand.

           “What the fuck,” he said stupidly.

           “Do you, um—” Jace paused. “Sorry. Just—just a sec.” His voice was wobbling. “Do you want me to leave?”

           “What the fuck, Jace? No!”

           “I’m sorry.”

           “Jesus fuck, why?”

           “For ignoring you. For not listening to you. For not responding to your IMs over the summer, and being a fucking dick to you this whole year. For getting you—for—for—”

           “Oh my fucking god,” Ral said limply. “You were literally under a spell, Jace, what the hell? Do you really think I’d blame you for that? What the shit?”

           The little pile of misery under the cloak tugged at his hair. “You should,” he mumbled after a moment. “I should’ve—”

           “—thrown off the most potent love potion any of the professors have ever heard of, gone toe-to-toe with one of the most powerful dark witches in history, and nearly fucking killed her into the bargain?” Jace blinked at him. “Because you kind of did all that, you idiot.” A tiny lightning bolt from the cloud above him suggested that Kallist agreed with Ral���s assessment. “Now get over here.”

           “Are you—sure?”

           Ral rolled his eyes and felt that strange staticky sensation rise up along the back of his neck again. Ever since he’d woken up with his nerves still twitching and jangling and oversensitive, it had been all too easy to trigger. And for once, he’d discovered there was something he wasn’t in too much of a hurry to research. He really didn’t want to know any more about the effects of the Cruciatus Curse than he already did. Well. Not yet, anyway. He made a mental note to come back to it in a couple weeks. “Yes, I’m bloody sure,” he grunted, and a spark materialized at the tip of one flopping lock of hair and sizzled down onto the sheets near his hand.

           “Right.” Jace took a deep breath and slid down the bed to him. For a moment, he sat still, then he had a hand out and bunched in the hospital robes Ral was wearing. “Oh, Ral,” he said, wearily. And then he was pressing his face into Ral’s chest, and to Ral’s consternation and horror, he was sobbing. “Fuck,” he muttered. “Oh, fuck, I thought—oh fuck, what did I do?”

           You were supposed to hold people when they broke down like this, right? Ral gingerly put one hand on Jace’s back and tried not to think about the fact that he was stupidly oversensitive right now. “You didn’t fucking do anything,” he said, biting his lip because Jace was squirming and that was not fucking fair, universe, that was goddamn fucking cheating. Jace was definitely positively one-hundred-percent not in a good mindset to be dealing with Ral exploding romantic feelings all over him. It could wait.

           No, it can’t, caroled a particularly annoying segment of Ral’s brain as one of Jace’s hands brushed across his collarbone.

           Yes, it damn well can, Ral told it fiercely, but he did press his face into Jace’s hair, because he wasn’t a goddamn saint.

           “Shut up, we’re both fine,” he mumbled angrily. “Also, I have these sweet new stripes in my hair now.”

           Okay, so he actually had asked about those. Is that normal? he’d said to Professor Granger, fingering the long white streak as he stared in a mirror. I look like fucking Rogue, he would have said, except she probably wouldn’t get it.

           It’s been documented in other cases of the Cruciatus Curse, Professor Granger had answered. I don’t believe it’s exactly common, and, no, so far no one knows exactly what causes it. As you might imagine, no one has been exactly eager to do an in-depth study.

           “You look like Rogue.” Jace managed a laugh.

           Right, they’d seen the film together, hadn’t they? Because Jace was still huddled in his cloak, as if he’d never come out again, so he probably hadn’t read Ral’s mind just now.

           “Well, um, actually…” Jace sighed. “The cloak hasn’t been entirely cutting it since I woke up.”

           “Oh. Well, shit.”

           “It’s easier with people I’ve read a lot, and I can turn it off if I focus,” Jace explained. “But it is sort of there if I’m not thinking too hard.” He put a hand to his head. “It’s okay. I’ll be okay. I’ve dealt with worse shit.”

           “You mean like this whole year?” Ral tightened his arm around Jace. “Look, I’ll, uh, I’ll try to keep my thoughts quiet, okay?”

           Jace rubbed a hand over his eyes. “It’s fine. Really.”

           There were huge, dark circles under his eyes. “When’s the last time you slept?”

           “Uh,” Jace replied, staring vacantly for a moment. “Oh—I mean, I was in the Hospital Wing unconscious till a couple of days ago.”

           “Have you slept since a ‘couple of days ago’?”

           He looked to the side. “I tried,” he muttered. “But you were—I didn’t know if you’d be okay—and it was my f-f-f—”

           “If you say it was your fault again, I will punch you,” Ral said. “And then I’ll probably get detention, and that will be your fault.”

           Thank god, Jace laughed at that, though the sound was a little wobbly. “I haven’t really been able to sleep, I guess.”

           “Well, Madam Pomfrey keeps trying to tell me I’m not allowed to set foot outside of my bed, and you clearly need to be in bed way more than I do. So why don’t you stay here and sleep?”

           Jace gaped at him. “I haven’t been sleeping with you this whole semester and you—you want…”

           “I dunno if we’re quite at that stage in our relationship yet,” Ral grinned, getting a frustrated scowl from his friend. “Yeah, yeah, of course I do. How many times do I have to tell you none of this was your fault, I don’t blame you, you’re my best mate, and—and—” also I’m gay and have more than strictly platonic feelings for you and please don’t be reading my mind right now, Jace, because I don’t think I could deal with that on top of everything else, “—and that’s never going to change,” he finished, a little lamely.

           “Ral—I do not deserve you.”

           “No one deserves me,” Ral grinned. “I am too awesome for that. But if anyone did deserve me, you’d be on top of the list.”

           “R-Right.” Jace tugged his hood down, but not before Ral saw the easy blush rising to his cheeks. “Okay. Well. I guess I should try to get some sleep, huh?”

           “You should. You really should.” Ral tried not to reach too much as Jace laid down and slid back against him, but he was pretty sure Jace would have to be deaf not to have heard the low noise Ral made when Jace curled into his front. Thankfully, Jace didn’t say anything; he just took Ral’s hand and pulled it around to his chest so that they were spooning. Not quite how they usually spent the night together, but Ral was definitely not going to complain. Although he wasn’t sure how he was supposed to get any sleep at all.
