#it has a tiresome and childish self-obsession to it

[radio-charlie]

Impatient for the world to have a hangover recovery Sunday morning where we all go: we thought American culture was the coolest shit ever for... almost a century? What the fuck was that? LOL

[fanwright]

Only au I can think of is the college aid everyone has one of lmao

Okay, I’m gonna concentrate on another show/anime for this one. I don’t actually have a College AU for any ATLA/LOK characters yet. Guess I go against norm on that! I’ll get back to you on this once I do have a few for ATLA/LOK.

I will focus on anime that I like instead, called Girls Und Panzer - its basically about high school girls piloting tanks from WWII. Very simple, very niche. I’ll provide visual aids and gifs for this one just in case. The head-canons will be tairly short. 

HC #1 - The Crew - Five new members are selected from the various high school Tankery teams and are moved into university housing. The four new crew members will live and work together constant to hone their skills as a tank crew. The five new members are - Erika, Darjeeling, Anchovy, Katyusha, Yukari. 

^^^ This is Darjeeling. She will act as the crew’s tank commander. Calm, collected, chivalrous, and a bit of a poet. She was recruited from a high school that specializes in piloting British tanks and was her team’s former commander. She was the commander of her own Churchill Mk. IV tank. She loves drinking tea.

^^^ This is Anchovy. Or Chiyomi Anzai, to use her real name. She act as the crew’s assistant driver. Hot blooded, loud, arrogant, and self-assured. She was recruited from a high school that specializes in piloting Italian tanks and was her team’s former commander. She commanded an experimental Italian P-40 tank. She’s a bit of a glutton and her favorite food is cheese pizza.

^^^ This is Erika. She will act as the crew’s driver. Aggressive, combative, sassy, and a bit of a loner. She was recruited from a high school that specialized in piloting German tanks and was the vice commander of her team and tank commander of a King-Tiger. Drinking German wine is a secret passion. 

^^^ This is Katyusha. She will act as the crew’s gunner. Childishly arrogant, emotional, panicky when things go against her, and very sensitive about her small stature. She was recruited from a school that specialized in piloting Russian tanks and was her team’s overall commander. She commanded her own tank, a T-34-85. She has sweet tooth and desires to be tall one day.

^^^ This is Yukari. She will act as the crew’s loader. Cherrful, friendly, and excitable, she is a fanatical tank enthusiast and historian. She was recruit from a high school that previously had no specialization in tanks, but was her former team’s assistant driver, radio-operator, and loader. She helped pilot a Panzer IV G Model. She has a large collection of tank figurines and memorabilia.  

They are literally all the roommates from hell. They will have a hard time getting along. And yes four out of the five girls here are meant to play up some national stereotypes a bit. 

HC #2 - The Tank - This is a short one! Since they have been recruited into a university team (and by extension now in college) they will be piloting a tank to help with their training. Interestingly enough it will be a tank that none of them are quite familiar with. They will be piloting an American M26 Pershing tank.

^^^ Basically this ugly green metal behemoth of a tank.

HC #3 - Best Buddies and Dorm-mates - At first Katyusha is a bit weirded out by Yukari and her obsession with tanks and is, of course, envious of her height. This however, is quickly overcome as Yukari practically starts to gush over Russian tanks, to both Katyusha’s amazement and embarrassment. Katyusha, despite being the former leader of a team of Russian tanks, knows very little about them - except for one: the massive KV-2 tank. Yukari tells Katyusha even more about the KV-2 and she is enthralled… though she acts like she knew all along. And so Yukari and Katyusha become surprisingly fast friends, with Yukari becoming the “big sister” type for Katyusha, to which she is secretly grateful for. Katyusha now gets to ride on Yukari’s shoulders and be taller than everyone. 

HC #4 - Axis Versus Allies v.1 - Erika and Anchovy don’t get along, but both girls do not like Darjeeling very much since bot of them wanted to be tank commander. Anchovy and Erika really don’t like Katyusha however because of her childish nature. Anchovy routinely gets belittled and made fun of by both Erika and Katyusha, which both enrages her and makes her sad. Darjeeling doesn’t care for Erika’s and Anchovy’s hatred of her and thinks they’re quite rude and tiresome. Darjeeling and Katyusha for the most part don’t fight with each other, but are very, very suspicious of one another and  secretly do not like each other’s attitudes. Katyusha thinks Darjeeling is stuck up and hates how tall she is, while Darjeeling abhors Katyusha’s childish and immature nature. Yukari is unfortunately caught in the middle - Erika and Anchovy take advantage of her cheerful nature and pass on chores to her, Katyusha and Darjeeling get along with her for the most part, but Darjeeling hopes that Yukari being Katyusha’s new best friend will help Katyusha mature, so passes on some helpful advice when she can. 

HC #5.1 - Axis Versus Allies v.2 - So what I just described above is supposed to roughly reflected the alliances made in WWII. Erika and Anchovy represent Germany and Italy, while Darjeeling and Katyusha represent Great Britain and the Soviet Union respectively. Its basically playing up some historical references for amusement and fun. Anchovy being hot-blooded  and prideful but constantly being belittled is supposed to reflect Italy’s experience in WWII - willing to fight and bragging that they can fight, but doing very poorly, with the Germans looking down on the Italians and the Russians thinking of them as a joke. 

HC #5.2 - Misc. Head-Canons - Their interaction in the dorms and classrooms in general should reflect a bit of college life and historical references. Anchovy becomes a bit of a Hot Mess, with a string of boyfriends, brief flings, and terrible phone break-ups, trying to find a steady guy that she can meet a pizza place (which she eventually does). Darjeeling replaces her tea habit and takes up drinking beer and other hard alcoholic drinks, often quoting plays, poets, and books as she’s drunk. This lands her a part in a school play. Erika learns to be a bit nicer to people when, quite surprisingly, she presses Katyusha buttons in the wrong way and just really pisses her off, ending in a big fight but a heart felt apology later on. Katyusha learns to mature thanks to Yukari and realizes that her childish attitude also led to the big fight with Erika. She doesn’t get taller, but she certainly grows as a person. Yukari eventually becomes tank commander and the roles are switched up.

And that’s it!

RELATIONSHIPS MOM: Céleste Charbonneau HOW WELL DO THEY GET ALONG: When she’s feeling playful, Céleste is definitely the one she runs to.

Bouncing on her heels.

HISTORY BIOGRAPHY: Born a synaesthetic, Lady Charbonneau’s family fretted for her sensitive hearing. As a result, they silenced and removed her from the world, raising her as if she had been deaf from birth. Their only child remained a mystery to most of Inkopolis, locked behind closed doors for her own “safety”. Her close friend, Nia Di Napoli, frequently removed the headphones that muted everything, helping her solidify the courage to defy their decision while giving her the opportunity to adapt to sounds she had yet to experience. 

This habit of babying her remained throughout her adolescence. Despite training efficiently in self-defense, and constant attempts at proving herself worthy of respect, her family reciprocated with buying out her Turf War matches and downplaying her ability. Finding that out coaxed her into sneaking into the Adult Ranked Matches late at Inkopolis Tower, where they couldn’t bribe people into losing. Of course, dealing with high ranked squids while being only C- yourself grew tiresome, but persistence eventually brought her to S+ at age 17.

Desperate to receive some fragment of respect, Bonbon put herself up for drafting come her eighteenth birthday. The Charbonneau family has a long-standing history of war, benefiting troops through monetary and physical means. One of the elders, Bourbon Charbonneau, fought valiantly as a captain in the Great Turf War hundreds of years ago. Keeping up the legacy, she thought, was her only chance of being her own person.

While every decision has seemingly furthered her depression, she continues on a path already tread in the hopes that such a safe route will bring about some sort of reward, even if it isn’t bountiful. Another option for her, her ability to sing entrancing songs, lies in wait, hoping to be utilized.

FIRST APPEARANCE: A mysterious, minuscule pinkling took a tournament by storm without even giving a word as to her age, rank, or background... and donated the proceeds to charity?

KNOWLEDGE LANGUAGES: Inkling, Sign Language, Human French, Written Octarian, Learning Hylian. SCHOOLING LEVEL: College student, essentially. FAVORITE SUBJECT (S): Linguistics and Theatre INTERESTED CAREERS: She wishes she knew. She’d love to actually sing, though. EXPERTISE: Theatre, Song and Dance. CHEMISTRY: A MATH: A LANGUAGE: A+ GEOGRAPHY: B POLITICS/LAW: B- COOKING: F, until she pays off the teacher. MECHANICS: C BOTANY (FLOWERS): A MYTHOLOGY: A DRAMATICS(ACTING,SINGING): A+++

READING LEVEL: College graduate. HOW GOOD ARE THEY AT PLANNING AHEAD: Always have a plan!

ROMANCE . DO THEY TAKE INITIATIVE: Definitely. She’s very needy and you’ll know it immediately. HOW DO THEY ACT(SHY,ETC): While very avoidant when crushing, she’s super clingy and affectionate when dating. GENTLEMAN/LADYLIKE VS KLUTZY: Ladylike with a dash of klutzy. She shows her real side if she really trusts her partner, so they have to deal with a near 180 of the persona she shows on a daily basis. GO SLOW VS JUMP INTO: Jump into! She puts all her apples in one basket. PROTECTIVE: Extremely. She’s very feral and primitive at times. ACT LIKE FRIENDS OR LOVERS: Her lover has to be her best friend. WHAT KIND OF PRESENTS DO THEY BUY: She actively stalks her partner’s wishlists or things they see as they cruise around together, and has them anonymously delivered, as it she wasn’t obvious. If she hasn’t a clue, she’ll start sending dorky things she thinks are nice to try to gauge their interest. TYPE OF KISSER: She steals small kisses, before elongating them with lots of lip tugging. Definitely fond of it. The type to really get into it. DO THEY WANT KIDS: Not really, but can be easily persuaded. DO THEY WANT TO MARRY: Yes. MAKE GOOD OR BAD DECISIONS: She has a tendency to make bad ones, but hopefully her partner corrects that. :^) Or at least doesn’t let her. ARE THEY ROMANTIC: Yes, albeit cheesy and dorky deep down... HOW ARE THEY IN BED: She prefers to be dominant, and that’s all I’ll say. GET JEALOUS EASY: Not if she is trusting of her partner, but she is definitely very anxious and wonders if she’s good enough frequently. WIFE/HUBBY BEATER: Uh, no. MARRY FOR MONEY: click this. FAVORITE SEX POSITION: uh WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ON THEIR DREAM DATE: A nice long exploration through untraveled territory---just the two of them. Lots of hand-holding, kisses, and cuddles. Good food would definitely seal the deal as the best date ever. OPINION ON SEX: She’s yet to form one, although she’s occasionally thirsty. It doesn’t really come to her often. As long as it’s consensual, she’s down for anything.

WaPo Writer: What Can Real Conservatives Do in the Age of Trump?

If you had hoped that the November elections would bring an end to the tiresome machinations of the NeverTrump conservative movement, those hopes have thus far not come to pass. Some conservative sites, like Red State, have practically turned into political outlets indistinguishable from the Huffington Post in their anti-Trump fervor. And “conservative” writers who ply their trade at newspapers like the Washington Post and the New York Times…well, they can always be counted on for some of the most elitist, out-of-touch commentary in American politics.

It is from one of those writers – Michael Gerson of the Post – that we get today’s headline. In a column this week, Gerson wondered what “real” conservatives could do in the age of Trump.

“Trump has been ruled by compulsions, obsessions and vindictiveness, expressed nearly daily on Twitter,” Gerson complains. “He has demonstrated an egotism that borders on solipsism. His political skills as president have been close to nonexistent. His White House is divided, incompetent and chaotic, and key administration jobs remain unfilled. His legislative agenda has gone nowhere. He has told constant, childish, refuted, uncorrected lies, and demanded and habituated deception among his underlings. He has humiliated and undercut his staff while requiring and rewarding flattery. He has promoted self-serving conspiracy theories. He has displayed pathetic, even frightening, ignorance on policy matters foreign and domestic. He has inflicted his ethically challenged associates on the nation. He is dead to the poetry of language and to the nobility of the political enterprise, viewing politics as conquest rather than as service.”

Oh, is that all? Apparently Gerson, like so many of his likeminded colleagues, would prefer it if we had Hillary Clinton in the White House. Far more important, in their eyes, to uphold the imaginary “dignity” of American politics than to actually fight back against the destructive policies of the Democratic Party. These jokers think that it’s more important to be seen and noticed as a “true conservative” than it is to stand up and fight for what’s right. And if supporting a Republican who doesn’t touch all the bases prescribed by William F. Buckley is the alternative, they would rather sit in the peanut gallery and throw mild barbs at the Democratic leadership. At least then, their reputations at the finest country clubs in D.C. would be kept intact.

Gerson goes on to nervously contemplate the options for conservatives who can’t bring themselves to support the president. Should they form a third party and go from there? Run against Trump in the 2020 Republican primaries? Show the GOP the error of their ways by simply supporting the Democrat running against Trump?

Well…how about dropping your hardened, nonsensical, academic opposition and simply allow things to be as they are? How about recognizing that it’s okay to have a Republican president who doesn’t fit your bill as a “true” conservative? How about taking some solace in the fact that, for four years at least, we’ve been able to put the brakes on our national head-first slide into democratic socialism?

We don’t need or expect “true” conservatives to give Trump a pass on every single thing, nor do we want them to suddenly support things they would have never supported in the past. But it’s time for NeverTrumpers to be realistic about the situation as it stands, and appreciate – at the very least – that we have a president who won’t sell the country out to every Islamic country and ludicrous social justice theory in the world.

Or, sit there and pout for the next three and a half years. Whatever makes you feel good.
