Have some (late) Christmas cheer. Finn would make a great HAB (husband and boyfriend) during his retirement!

All credits to @lumosinlove !!

Finn waved a hand to the guards outside of the players box, flashing his pass and quickly jogging to the door. He was panting a bit, running late from a department meeting at school, and stumbled through the doorway a bit. Pascal and Celeste Dumais turned to look at him, both with matching amused expressions, as he made his way to his seat. 

“Hi, hi, sorry I’m late,” he breathed. He gave Celeste a kiss on the cheek and clasped Dumo’s hand. “Did I miss warm-ups? We had a meeting after school, last one before the Christmas break, and it went way over.”

“Ouais,” Pascal said. “Puck drop in a couple.” His eyes were mischievous. “You know, it’s okay if you’re not here for warm-ups every time. Your boys look good.”

“Yeah, but I didn’t give them a good luck kiss.”

Celeste snorted slightly. “They’ll be fine, Finn.”

He nudged her gently. “You don’t know that. Logan gets very upset when he doesn’t get a good luck kiss.”

Pascal was shaking his head. “He’s got you wrapped around his finger, mon fils.”

Celeste scuffed the back of his head. “As if I don’t have you in the same position.”

Finn watched as Dumo’s eyes lit up and he leaned over to kiss the side of her head. “Ouais, you do.” He nudged his chin towards the ice. “Allez, puck drop.”

Sure enough, the players were taking to the ice for the start of the game. Leo was in goal, and Finn watched him jump up and down a few times to warm up his legs. Logan was on the outside of the circle, bodying up to an Anaheim player, while Sirius took the face-off. Another forward, a young guy by the name of Ethan Binesi, was their other winger, eyes intently on where Sirius’ stick was splayed across his knees. It was a trip, still, seeing Logan in a Lions jersey again. He’d taken back the number 10, which looked just as gorgeous on him now as it had on his first Harvard jersey. He saw Logan look to Leo briefly, give a nod- I love you- and then he readied his stick. The ref hovered the puck above the dot and the game began.

Sirius won the face-off, immediately snapping it back to Logan, who shot off and stick handled his way around an Anaheim player. He had his head up, searching for a lane, finding Binesi who had faked out his own guy on the opposite side and was hanging out by their offensive zone dot. Logan sent the puck flying onto the Binsei’s stick blade for a slap shot, but the Anaheim goalie blocked it.

It was a physical game, Logan and Thomas getting sent to the box after someone got a little too close to Leo, who held his own spectacularly in the five on three that resulted. Finn couldn’t help but be absolutely smitten as he watched them, as he always was when he got to come and see them play. He loved the game, he missed it, and he was happy teaching, incredibly so- but there was something else about being able to spectate his husbands like he was, being able to finally watch them together after so long of Logan being apart from them for the majority of the year. They were all deliriously happy, sparking that same insatiable feeling they’d had when they’d gotten together, engaged, married- Finn’s heart stopped in his chest every time he saw their shoes paired together by the door, every time he looked up from grading at the table and found Logan sitting on the counter, keeping Leo company while he cooked them dinner. He wanted them forever- which, he guessed, was already implied by the whole marriage thing. But he wanted to marry them over and over again, preferably every day, if he had his way. He’d dance with them like he had at their wedding, spinning Leo around the dance floor by his hips, holding Logan close during softer songs. He’d kiss them like he had at their ceremony, when he had taken each of their faces in between his palms and kissed them so deeply he had almost knocked them over, even Leo, who had a few inches on him.

Finn watched them shake hands with the other team after a demanding third period. They’d won 1-0, a shutout for Leo and an assist for Logan, but it wasn’t much of a lead. Logan would inevitably want to seethe a bit in the car, Leo going over everything that could have gone wrong that would have made them give up their lead. That was one thing Finn didn’t miss about hockey: the constant reviewing every little thing he’d done and feeling like the weight of the entire team was on his shoulders. He found it easier, though, to help Logan and Leo let loose from those experiences, having gone through it himself. He kept finding creative ways to take their minds off of it- asking Leo to read him his students’ essays out loud so he could fairly grade them, rubbing Logan’s feet while he colored in an adult coloring book (he’d really taken to them recently). He’d gotten really good at mocktails, too, so when his husbands were in between games or intense training sessions, they didn’t have to drink alcohol but could still enjoy the taste and the conversation that came with Finn mixing them drinks. 

He gave Pascal and Celeste each a hug, waving good-bye to other family members in the box, and scurried down to go to the locker room. When he entered, it felt a little like he’d never left. There were a few new players, a few not. Sirius, Remus, and Thomas each came up to give him a hug, and little once-rookie Cole held out his fist for Finn to bump. Even Kuny was still there- although, it seemed like he was never going to leave. He was almost a permanent part of the structure of Gryffindor Stadium at that point. 

He spotted Logan and Leo, stalls side-by-side, at the other end from where he’d entered, and walked up, placing a hand on Leo’s head as he was unlacing his skates. He jerked his head up in initial surprise, which softened immediately upon seeing Finn. His blue eyes twinkled out at Finn from his otherwise flushed and sweaty face. “Hi, sweetheart. How are you?”

“I’m sorry,” Finn said. He pressed a hard kiss to Leo’s forehead. “I’m sorry, my meeting ran over, and I wanted to be here to kiss you good luck, but it went so late-”

“Sh, it’s okay, honey,” Leo said. He looked amused and leaned up to kiss Finn properly. Finn felt the tension in his body melt away and he rested his hands on Leo’s strong shoulders. “I’m happy to kiss you whenever you have time.”

“All the time,” Finn said, nodding eagerly. “Preferably all the time. What do you say we all quit working and just make out all day, every day?”

Leo blushed. “Well.”

“Ouais, I like that idea,” Logan chirped. He was smirking when Finn turned to him, even as he leaned over to kiss Leo’s cheek. “Especially if it makes you blush like that.”

Leo rolled his eyes but was smiling at Logan. “Stop that.”

“Non, non. You can’t return me.” He kissed Leo’s cheek again, then his lips. “Forever.”

Finn’s heart jolted at the words, even at Logan’s sarcastic tone. “You hear that, Knut? Grumpy says forever, so I guess that's the verdict.”

“Non, I’m not grumpy,” Logan retorted. He looked at Finn petulantly. “And if I am, it’s only because I missed out on my good luck kiss.” 

“I’m sorry.” Finn pouted. “Forgive me, baby? It’s almost Christmas.”

Logan smiled, his nose scrunching. “Ouais. Bisou.”

Finn complied, taking Logan’s face in his hands like he’d been thinking about doing all game and tilting it back as he kissed him hard. Logan smiled against his mouth and rested a hand on Finn’s side, rubbing up and down slowly. When they pulled apart, Finn kissed his forehead and looked down at him. “Better?”

“Ouais,” Logan said with a soft smile. He went back to unlacing his skates. “But I think we would’ve won by more if you’d kissed me before the game.”

Leo snorted. “Right. Because that’s the reason we hardly had any net.”

“Sh, nut,” Logan said. “No jinxes.”

“What jinxes?”

“The superstitions.”

“I thought we’d established that we didn’t adhere to our superstitions, and that’s why we only scraped by?”

“Okay,” Finn interrupted. They both looked up at him suddenly. “No more hockey talk. Time to shower, home, dinner, sex, and bed.”

Sirius, who was in the stall next to Logan, choked a little on the water he was sipping. “Jesus, O’Hara,” he said. “I did not miss your locker room talk.”

Finn stuck his tongue out at him. “You’re just as bad with Loops and you know it.”

Sirius rolled his eyes but didn’t deny it. “Stop distracting the boys while they get undressed.” He seemed to realize what he had said the second he said it. “Wait-”

Finn’s eyebrows shot up with a mischievous grin. “With absolute pleasure.” He turned to his husbands, who were watching him with fond smiles. “You heard the captain. Get undressed, let’s go.”

Sirius just sighed roughly and went to the showers. 

Leo smacked Finn lightly on the hip as he stood up to remove the rest of his padding. “You’re such a mence, you know that?”

Finn just watched appreciatively as more of his body was revealed with each article taken off. “You love me.” He grinned wider. “You married this menace baby.” He put his hands on either side of Leo’s hips, now free of everything except his thin Under Armour layer. “No take backs.”

“Hm, I’m not so sure about that,” Leo said, but he kissed Finn gently. “I’m going to shower, then we will go home.”

“And then we’ll have dinner, and then-”

“D’accord, rouge,” Logan laughed. “Ouais, sounds good.”

“Yay! Yay, yay, yay, my favorite.”

“Tu est fou, chérie.” Logan let out a sigh as he pulled off the rest of his clothes, too, then grabbed a towel from his locker. “D’accord, we’ll be right back.” He kissed Finn’s shoulder as he passed. “Stay out of trouble, oui?”

“No promises, babe, you know that.”

Logan just pinched his hip as he and Leo walked to the showers. 

***

An hour later, when Finn walked into the living room after his own shower, he encountered his boys not following his ‘no more hockey’ instructions.

“Ouais,” Logan was saying, sat at the counter. He was talking to Leo, who was working on dinner. “We weren’t maintaining our triangle shape in the attacking zone, Le, it just made it-”

“Whoa,” Finn interrupted. He wrapped his arms around Logan’s shoulders to squeeze. “Time out. I thought I said no more hockey talk?”

Leo, at least, tried to look a little sheepish. “We were just-”

“Nope, nope. You already reviewed it all with coach, I’m sure of it.” He pressed a hard kiss to Logan’s cheek, the muscles tense with a smile under his lips. “Home time is for relaxation. Home time is Finn-time.”

Leo laughed as he stirred something on the stove. “Finn-time?”

“Mmhm,” Finn affirmed. “Because I don’t see you all day, so home time is for hanging out with Finn, eating dinner with Finn, cuddling with Finn, and doing you-know-what with Finn.”

Leo’s eyes were bright as he looked over at him. “You-know-what? What’s that exactly?”

“You know exactly what that is, my beautiful nutter butter baby.” He rested his chin on Logan’s shoulder. “So no more hockey talk tonight. Just Finn-time.”

“Ouais,” Logan sighed. He leaned his head against Finn’s. “Sounds good.”

“Finn and Logan time,” Leo whispered. He leaned across the counter to press a kiss to each of their foreheads. When he pulled back, he was smiling so gently at them that Finn thought he would seep into the floorboards. “My favorite.”

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012

It has been so, so long since I've watched this show. I grew up with it as a kid; I remember being traumatized by the rat king. As a kid, I don't think I watched all five seasons, but I did watch a good deal of it with my siblings. Well, my youngest sibling started watching it for the first time, and eventually my other sister and I decided, well, why not?

We very quickly became invested. It brought a sense of nostalgia. Not only that, but we could appreciate the characters more than we did before. We could relate to a specific one. For me, it's Leo. Even better... I have three younger siblings. It's almost strange how my siblings and I "match" the personalities of each turtle, and in proper oldest to youngest order, too. Obviously, the personalities aren't a complete match. Additionally, the genders are different. I have one brother and two sisters.

Still, Leo has many "oldest traits" that I could feel on a personal level. I can't even count the amount of times my sister and I pointed at the screen and laughed "that's so you!" or one of our other siblings.

The sibling banter is absolutely top notch. It's savage (as it should be) and creative. My siblings and I are very close, so we know what proper sibling banter should look like. Despite the banter, I really appreciate the show including a loving bond between the turtles. They would do anything for each other. When their sibling is badly hurt, their cries are so raw it physically hurts to hear. They lash out or protect.

The plot, while occasionally cliche and predictable, is interesting and action-packed. The turtles don't win every battle, of course, and they suffer through so much. The finale for each season is gut-wrenching every single time.

We're not going to talk about the romance. *gags*

Oh, I have my opinion on the romance, too.

There's just something about 2000s or 2010s shows (animated shows included) that really capture your attention.

This is a kid's show, but the producers didn't shy away from gritty, traumatizing details.

Honestly, if you're super bored and like action-packed shows, even if they're animated, you should seriously check it out.

[tokyo-debunkers-headcanons]

Eyoooo, thanks for answering my last ask!!! anyways, gotta new one for ya, same groups if ya able but with a really pretty/attractive mc s/o like manhwa mc level kinda pretty. I can imagine kaito being somewhere along the lines of 'they tossed me over their shoulder and I've been on it ever since' with a little touch of internal screaming. I just wanna see if any of the boys would be flustered or have their ego stroked with having a really pretty s/o -👾

Thanks for sending asks in fam! This will be fun since I have so many ideas for these boys!

JIN KAMURAI

Being honest, his ego is entirely stroked by an attractive MC.

The one thing he finds a pain in the ass is all the gossip. He's always hearing some baseless rumor that someone is cheating or MC got surgery done or whatever.

It pisses him off to hear people talk about his beautiful/handsome partner like that.

Whenever he gets the chance to show MC off, he does and he makes sure their outfits are to DIE for.

Congrats! MC will most likely be spoiled with a new fancy wardrobe. (He would do this with any serious partner but it's AMPLIFIED with an extra attractive MC)

Whatever they need for their skincare or whatever routine they need. He'll take care of it. Just give him a list and he'll get someone on it ASAP.

TOHMA ISHIBASHI

The ego boost this man gets! OH MAH GOD!

He's not shy and he knows what he's about so he's not necessarily flustered, but he's definitely proud to land such an amazing looking partner.

A lot of others start referring to MC as royalty once they start dating, they start it sarcastically of course but when Tohma hears it, he flips it right on its head.

I mean like, using it to fluster MC: bowing, taking their coat, carrying things, etc (again, he'd be doing that stuff anyways) but he would take the time to fluster MC at the same time.

What i mean is like kissing the back of their palm and whispering against their skin something along the lines of,

"Only the best for my Prince/my Princess/ your Majesty/etc"

KAITO FUJI

Kaito does not know how the hell he got here with them but he doesn't give a single fuck.

He will spend the first part of this new relationship in all of the self doubt, because In his mind, this could be a prank or some kind of mistake. But when MC shows him that, no baby girl this isn't a mistake..? Mans here thinks he's died and that MC really is his guardian angel.

He will try to spend what money he has to try and spoil them how he thinks they deserve. He's just really trying his best.

When Frostheim throws their fancy ass balls, Kaito is BEAMING with pride. Yeah, he's on the arm of the best looking person here! Eat it!

And when they dance with him, there is so much internal screaming going on. He's worried he's gonna mess up and make MC look dumb, but with some time he'll loosen up and have some fun.

LUCAS ERRANT "LUCA"

Okay, another one with gossip. But its surprising not about the relationship itself. Its about each individual.

I think Luca and MC have separate fan clubs. I'm sure We've all seen that Luca has fans at the school. an extra attractive MC for sure has one too.

It all started with the two fanclubs talking shit about the other and spreading rumors. Like the usual rumors about cheating, or about how they don't deserve the other, etc.

However, there is a small part in each club that joined forces to try and spread gossip to break them up.

Ofc it doesn't work, Luca and his partner trust each other and do their best to communicate, so it doesn't really effect the happy couple all too much. I mean if you're gonna be subjugating a demon together, there's a LOT of mutual trust going on there.

ALAN MIDO

Alan would be a bit more protective of his partner, because in his experience (*cough cough* LEO *COUGH*) more attractive people, aren't really fighters.

If and when MC manages to prove themselves capable in a fight, he'll back off a little bit, but he'll still be a little protective.

He'd try to do things he thinks MC would like, that he's not the most comfortable with. Like fancier dates, dressing up, going out, etc.

If MC wants to squash that, they gotta do it RIGHT AWAY, since in his mind, they're more attractive so they've gotta like the fancier stuff...right?

SHOHEI HAIZONO "SHO"

Sho is a guy who will take them out for rides on Bonnie (his bike) but he doesn't really care about their appearance.

Sure its a plus and all, but he doesn't care if their hair looks really good today, they're wearing a damn helmet when they go on rides.

He figures MC knows their stuff when it comes to appealing design, so he values their opinion on his project (those who know, know). He takes all their critiques on the chin and does his best to listen.

its still his so he won't let them change it entirely, but he'll for sure keep it in mind.

LEO KUROSAGI

Okay if you think Luca and Jin fans were wildin, Leo's fanclub is WAY worse.

To start off, Leo will do small things with MC. Probably not show their amazing face too much.

It's a mix between wanting to keep things as private as possible and keeping them all to himself.

The internet being the internet, someone eventually got a pic of them together and people figured out that MC was this mysterious partner that Leo has been hiding.

Once the secret is out, he's full on bringing them into his content, like get ready with me's, matching outfit checks, etc.

On the down side, there's a LOT of MC haters out there. Leo typically ignores those comments, he figures their just jealous (of him or MC im not sure)

But if anyone even TRIED to threaten or do his MC. they're done. Their reputation might as well be in the trash. Leo is absolutely not above blackmailing someone to get what he wants so good luck to whoever fucked up that bad.

[limi-strology]

My astro observations:

I'm by no means an expert, this is based on my experience!

●∘◦❀◦∘●

☄. *. ⋆*·˚ Leo suns are pretty warm people. I mean it as in they make you feel welcome in a new place and try to help you socialize with their friends. Even though they are really popular and usually in the center, they'll talk to you, pay attention to how you're feeling and encourage you to talk more in the group! It may put you on the spot, but that's how they show they care. I find it really sweet, they just want to help you get out there and approach people. They're great friends, especially if you were around toxic people previously, these fellas will kinda heal you in a way ❤️‍🩹

☄. *. ⋆ Leo risings also have a confident vibe surrounding them. Even those who are more on the introverted side give off the impression that they are quite dynamic? Idk how to explain this, they just kind of stand out. I think it's more obvious when they're with their closest friends, they're usually the ones cracking jokes, being loud, taking up a more leader-like(?) role. Part time entertainers, part time hype people. You go guys, let's keep up the fun vibes in our friend groups ☀️

☄. *. ⋆ Libras are so charming for no reason?? Like, both personality and appearance wise, I'm amazed. I love how they always listen to both sides of the story and try to find solutions that are fair to everyone. They're generally sweet and angelic, they tend to forgive a lot (don't you think they'll forget it tho, they'll probably be more cautious around you afterwards) up until you hurt them deeply. After that, they get sarcastic and cold, you do not want to get on their bad side. Regarding their physical appearance, I've noticed a lot of them have full lips and freckles (or multiple beauty marks on their face). I'm getting a cute energy just by looking at them, I don't know why, I just found every Libra I've met so far adorable in a way. Sure, they're mostly described as handsome and beautiful (and they are, not gonna lie) but I'm just seeing an innocent? youthful and carefree image of them. Also they're kinda curvy? Even the more lean ones are a little thick in the booty or thighs. 🤭

☄. *. ⋆ I've noticed Scorpios suddenly becoming really soft and smiley around kids and pets. They'll start cooing and waving at the kids, might even talk or play with them (if they know them well). Similarly, they'll get excited at the sight of a puppy or a kitten and will probably pet them and give them snacks. And what amazes new even more is that kids and pets seem to like them back! I don't know what it is about Scorpios and their energy, but I've seen so many babies/toddlers staring and smiling at my Scorpio peers in fascination, and whenever we encounter stray animals they seem to gravitate towards them. It's really cute to see that, warms my heart a lot. Like, intimidating who? I'm only seeing cute happy people ☺️

☄. *. ⋆ Capricorn moons have a hard time opening up about things that bother them. Even if they feel the most comfortable with you, they'll most likely hide some things. They'll talk about it eventually, but they'll probably reveal small parts of it each time, kinda like building a puzzle but taking many breaks in between. Maybe they feel like they can be judged and/or mocked and want to see how others react first? I hope you guys are surrounded by sweet and accepting people that you can trust and share things that trouble you with them 🤍

☄. *. ⋆ I used to think Aries placements make you more hot-headed/aggressive, but the more people I've met, I've realised they're more on the ambitious side. Strong willed, they know exactly what they want. Sometimes their parents may pressure them into studying something they think is best for them during college, and the Aries person will probably do that, but then they'll do the thing that truly interests them. I noticed Aries suns are quite fit and enjoy any kind of exercise/sports, it just makes them feel good, while Aries risings are mostly attracted to athletic people, or are fascinated by people who go to the gym. They also have a fiery, self empowering aura going on and I love that for them 🔥

☄. *. ⋆ Scorpio venuses, wowww... Okay, first of all, your loyalty is so admirable. And the fact that you always try to find solutions and maintain peace in your relationships, especially the men with this placement, I'm impressed every time 👏 I'm getting Morticia Adams vibes, and by that I mean that I'm seeing elegance with dark themes. Also, in formal/party settings, guys look great in all black outfits and girls rock red lipstick. I know it sounds a bit generic, but it makes you stand out from the rest, even if everyone is dressed practically the same. It's like you're just in your element 🤌

☄. *. ⋆ My fellow sun square moon people, how are we feeling? Do you also have that mind vs heart battle on a weekly basis? Like being two different people at once, with one being more assertive and independent (Sun) and the other more sensitive and insecure (Moon). Your upbringing could be genuinely good, with no one really hurting you deeply, yet you still struggle with your emotions and might have low self confidence. Probably people pleasers, even if your mind is telling you to do your own thing instead, you will probably have a hard time saying no. And don't get me started on this whole conflict of what you want exactly. You finally start living on your own like you've always wanted and make time for yourself? Yeah, but why is no one here to pat you on the back and give you reassurance yet? Where's the support? Hate independence. You eventually surround yourself on the daily with people who actually care about you and show you the affection you deserve? Well, now it feels too stuffy in here, let's self isolate from all the people we love until we feel horrible again because of loneliness. Don't know how else to describe it than just 🙃.

●∘◦❀◦∘●

Thanks for reading! It's my first time making an observation post so I'm sorry if it's not that accurate, I'm basing this on people who are close to me and whose chart I've checked a few times.

Hope you have a nice day~

[kekaki-cupcakes]

Hi luv! May I req for Leo falling for a mischievous (cat-like personality) demigo (maybe ares, idk) after she beats him while sparring so he continuously asks her to spar just to spend more time together (and maybe she knows it and just plays along, maybe tells him she’ll go on a date with him once he beats her?). Idk this was just an idea, thought I got. Do not feel pressured or anything obvs!

Heya this has been in my inbox for a while and I finally got a good idea lol cause I don't wanna be posting half assed WIP's. [this is also combined with a request for Leo Valdez x daughter of Athena reader I got a while ago btw]

Enjoy <3

love is stronger then everything [except Clarrise, of course] ---Leo V x Daughter of Athena reader

»»————-　★　————-««

Leo was a mastermind. 

Like, obviously you were the daughter of Athena, but he was the one behind it all. He was just… so smart.  It was unbelievable sometimes. Not to be big headed or anything, he was just the most intelligent person in the room.

Well, in this scenario, it wasn’t the room, it was the arena. And that’s about where his cunning brain cells decided to sit on the bench and do their nails with Piper. 

He’d tell them off later, if he ever survived the sharp eyed sharp edged girl in front of him who was somehow holding a war axe made of solid imperial gold over her shoulder like it was nothing. The sight of your arms distracted him of his incoming death momentarily, but then you just had to open your mouth. “

“Valdez, are you gonna spar with me, or was the six step official challenge at breakfast with a disco ball and three tonnes of strawberries for nothing?” 

“Four tonnes, actually,” he managed to squeak out, and then shifted his grip on the sword he’d borrowed from Jake, who’d only laughed in his face when Leo told him he’d challenged you.

Judging by the way you fiddled with your camp beads necklace and then swung the smooth golden axe stained with something remarkably similar to human blood, Jake was right. Leo gulped and stepped back, ready to scramble out of the way and clang his too big sword against the edges of the axe he only just realized were sharp enough to cut through bone. 

You seemed to pity him as well, which Leo didn’t appreciate, but at least you gave him a few extra seconds to scramble out of the way.

A moment later there was sand in his eyes churned up by your sneakers, the ones with little green string snakes as laces. He vaguely remembered snakes being a symbol of Athena, only that thought was scrapped when he had to step back to avoid having his skull split in half. 

Piper cheered sarcastically and passed Jason a leftover strawberry from this morning’s events. 

You spun around and the axe made a crater in the sawdust covered ground. Leo turned and half heartedly swung his hammer at your shoulder, but you dipped back and knocked it out of his hands in less then a second, leaving him defenseless. 

Leo launched himself backwards and felt his shoe skid on the ground, sawdust billowing up into his vision as gravity decided to ruin his day, and his dignity. 

He was contemplating just falling asleep right then and there, when a gray sliver appeared in front of him. He had to cross his eyes to identify the metal poking his nose as the tip of your war axe. Leo just got comfy on the ground, resting his hands beneath his head as you glared. 

Apparently you weren’t satisfied with the early defeat, gray eyes narrowed as you snapped. “What on Olympus was that, Valdez?”

“Me fighting?” He asked hopefully, squinting up as the sun angled itself behind you. He brushed away the thought that it made you look a bit like an angel, despite the frown on your face and the weapon at his throat. 

“Well you aren’t any good at it, so don’t bother,” you said, hooking the axe over your shoulder and marching off. “I have to go help Beth with the capture the flag plans.”

Leo huffed, blowing a strand of his curly brown hair out of his face and grinning up at the roof, which swirled a little. He might’ve bumped his head a little too hard, now that he thought about it. 

Then another face swam in front of him and Piper popped a bubble that smelt vaguely of grapes. She looked towards where you’d disappeared out the arena’s swinging double doors. “What in the ever loving fucknuggets was that, Valdez?”

“I liked their version better,” Leo grumbled, and sat up slowly, feeling his bones groan internally at him. “And it’s not my fault their fit. And strong. ANd have a huge weapon. And pretty eyes. And-”

“And a nice ass?” 

“Yep, especially in those camo pan- why are you looking at their ass?” Leo asked suspiciously. Taking a hand from Piper to get up properly. He stretched his arms above his head and tried to stop thinking about your butt. It didn’t really work very well, and then his thoughts skipped along to your thighs and the really cool scar along one and he missed half of what Jason was saying in between the smile he was trying to hide. 

That didn’t matter very much though, because Leo was struck with the best idea in the history of children born of the literal ideas god. Well, maybe that was Athena, not Hephestus, but your parents were a problem for later. Way later. Like when you’d decided Leo was more than just a rock stuck in your shoe.  

That was something he could work on though. 

He just had to impress you so much that you’d agree to go out with him. Building something cool would be the immediate option, but he built cool things everyday. It wasn’t easy, per-say, but it wasn’t a date-worthy achievement.  

Piper snapped her fingers in front of his face and Leo jerked his head back, “huh? Sorry I was just thinking…”

“About what? Finally giving up on-”

“Imma single handedly win capture the flag!”

»»————-　★　————-««

You handed out the last of the helmets, blue plumes dotting the crowd of demigods jostling around and yelling about lice and how their butterfly clips wouldn’t fit underneath the bronze. 

You chose to ignore those ones and turned back to the little canvas tent someone had dragged out from Bunker 9 to set up base in, even though it couldn’t be used during the actual game. You weren’t actually sure what the point of it was, but Clarrise deemed it necessary, and you decided not to argue with her, in the interest of living.

The Athena cabin had managed to swoop in and ally with the Ares cabin before Connor got there, so you managed to rein in the help of Butch and his siblings [which meant that the Red team would have quite a few problems involving pegasi droppings in the hours to come], the two twins of Nike, the Dionysus and Hebe kids, as well as the smattering of Aphrodite kids that were ready to get blood under their perfectly done nails. A few of them seemed too happy about that prospect, but Drew had heart shaped arrows and Charmspeak, so you ignored the fact Lacey was singing about chopping off heads. 

Annabeth propped her sneakers up on the table, smudging mud on the map of the forest as she did so, to tie up her laces. “So, we’ve got puddles of pegasi shit under the leaves, I asked Holly and Laurel who could make the most nets so we’ll have enough to trap most of the Hermes cabin under by the time we start, and then Clarrise and her lot can just heavily maim the rest.”

“Nice,” you noted, and pushed the coloured pins for each demigod wiping blue warpaint across their cheeks around the map to their places. “We’re against Will’s dickwits, so they’ll do that thing and keep the sun behind them to blind everyone on our team.”

Annabeth fiddled with her camp necklace and glared at the map. “ And what are we supposed to do to counter that? Ask Apollo to take the day off??

“Start handing out sunglasses.”

Someone dragged a bucking gray pegasi through the opening to the canvas tent and chaos broke out, Butch yelling orders at a group of Dionysus kids who began feeding the freaked out mare shiraz. 

You turned away before you were lumped with the task of dealing with them, and reached for your axe. A sticky note fell off, the yellow paper floating to the ground. 

Hi hi so if i win capture the flag by myself then will you go out with me also i cant ask you this in person because jasons teaching me how to use a sword and im about to run out of sticky note and now ive forgotten what i was trying to say

The note ended there, and you frowned, trying to ignore the twitch at your lips when you turned the greasy crinkled paper over. 

right yeah this is leo by the way you probably already figured that out cause no one else is smart enough to beat all of camp to go out with you the flying horse distraction was my idea too by the way im a genius you should definitely go out with me okay now im out of pa

“Who’s the person?”

You nearly decapitated Drew in that moment. You lowered your axe and shoved the note in the back of your pocket that you only just remembered wasn’t there, courtesy of the armor you’d donned. “What are you talking about?”

“The love note,” she insisted with a curious smirk, lipgloss shining. “They sounded pretty excited and now you’re making that face oh my god you actually like them back!” 

“Do not!” You snapped back, tightening your shoulder guard and hefting your bloodied axe over you shoulder. The pegasi was led out of the tent as you shooed Drew in the same direction. “Now go back to your station, we’re starting in five.”

She squinted at you for a second, then her eyes widened as he jaw dropped. “Leo!”

You blinked, wrinkling your nose. “Okay how did you even-”

“Seeya later!” Drew called over her shoulder, skipping away with Butch to find her section of the woods to patrol, her assigned heart shaped sunglasses slipping down her nose. 

You narrowed your eyes at her retreating figure, but then one of Clarisse's sisters was wondering if the no killing rule had changed in the last four minutes and you were promptly distracted. 

»»————-　★　————-««

“Why don’t you just run along there and turn Travis into a toddler for me?” You asked a son of Hebe who nodded solemnly and disappeared into the trees. Light dappled the leaves on the ground and once you’d ordered around the rest of the soldiers in training, the bellowing horn sounded. 

A tense silence filled the woods, no one daring to make the first move and startle the spies out of their trees and the runners from their starting places. You pushed the cat eyed sunglasses up your nose and adjusted your sweaty grip on the axe, which must have weighed as much as the Hebe boy you’d just sent on his way. 

Blue streaked the sky behind the clouds, but the blue you were concerned about fluttered peacefully in the wind from where the flag had been nestled in Zeus’s fist. 

From what you’d planned, the Nike twins should be hiding in the two pine trees in font of you that had grown on either side of the track you knew the red team would take, nets between them ready to trap the enemy. Drew was placed behind you with her bow and arrows, ready to take down anyone that made it past Holly and Laurel. 

And if the lucky little fucker made it any further, you had your axe ready.

The rest of your team, save the Ares kids bordering the river, who were ready to maim but not kill, were causing a distraction that included a lot of grapevines and a reenactment of the Hamilton Musical [the second half was to be acted out at the campfire later that night]. It was sure to distract the Apollo cabin while  Annabeth donned her blue Yankees hat and snuck through. 

The only way it could go wrong at this point, is if a certain fluffy haired pointy eared son of Hephestus went through with his sticky note proposition and burned down the entire woods. 

Considering the fact he’d challenged you to a duel four times this week, you wouldn’t be surprised. Not that you minded. His concentrating face was sort of cute, especially when he stuck his tongue out a little and that time you’d pinned him to the sawdust covered ground you’d realized he actually had a few little freckles along his nose. 

And he really liked strawberries. That you could admire. 

Okay, maybe you looked forward to whatever proposition he’d set up at breakfast each day, but it mainly had to do with the presents. And definitely not that grin he’d get when you agreed.

If he won this game of capture the flag, which was impossible for one demigod anyway, and you did go out with him, you’d get to see that smile times one thousand. It sort of made you want him to win.

Then you shook the thought from your helmet cladden head. Your team was going to win this, and you’d stab Leo yourself to do so. 

Lightly, though. 

He still had that crackly laugh you could place from across the dining pavilion, you couldn’t kill him. It made your brain melt for a moment, which wasn’t something a daughter of Athena needed. But, he was a certified genius. Maybe that would even it out. 

»»————-　★　————-««

“Where the fuck is Drew?” You yelled into the forest around you, but only the crickets and startled squawking birds answered. Metal clanged and the crickets were silenced when your Axe thudded against a tree, handle first. 

Austin smirked, and his bow knocked into your shoulder hard enough to leave a bruise you could already feel forming. 

You ducked another blow and stumbled back, stumbling a tight ring around the sun of Apollo to get back to your weapon, glancing around the clearing as you did so. Holly and Laurel were nowhere to be seen, and there were certainly no nets to help you out in the one on one ambush. 

You’d been waiting around for some action when suddenly there was a lot but still not enough, because apparently everyone on the blue team had decided they’d rather fall asleep in their stations than help you. Even without them you could hold up your own, grabbing your axe and swinging it around at Austin when he came back for seconds. The arrow in his hand seemed less scary once his bow was in two splintered pieces at your feet.

He stepped back, face falling, and the daisies crushed underfoot sprung back into their slightly crumpled places when he backed away properly, turning to where the blue flag was still untouched on the top of Zeus’s fist. 

You paused, lowering the axe in confusion once he called out to nothing, “Oi! Move it loverboy, I’m running out of time!” 

Then you froze, because of course somehow, against all odds, a panting Leo was clambering up the highest point with the red flag in one tightly closed hand and a second later he was holding the blue one above his head victoriously as well, a stupidly wide grin on his cute face. 

He let out a yelp as pebbles began to slide around his feet but then you couldn’t see him anymore, pushed to the back of the crowd by a stampede of yelling demigods brandishing weapons.

It took you a second to realize they were cheers and not war cries [the difference was hard to make out most of the time], so you weaved through some Hermes kids who were chatting animatedly and a Demeter girl with a stump where her arm had been. Will rushed along behind you to her side once you’d gotten past both teams of the now over capture the flag game. 

“What the fuck is this?” You yelled up at Leo, who sent you a double thumbs up and then began hopping down the pile of boulders, the flags now held with his crooked teeth.

You squinted up at him, watching his green army jacket get caught on an overhanging branch and then when he jumped down finally, you were there to cross your arms and glare at him.

“Sup?” he smirked, holding his hands behind his back and rocking on his feet. “Did you get my note?”

Apparently he guessed your answer through your facial expression and then held up the flags like an offering. You ignored a fatal sounding screech from an Aphrodite boy in the distance as Leo chewed his lip. “So…. I won!” 

“And how, exactly?” 

Leo glanced to the side, and you followed his gaze to a smirking daughter of Aphrodite, who’s hoop earrings shined with blood that definitely wasn’t hers, judging from Drew’s satisfied expression. He then pulled out another crumpled up sticky note from his jacket, which was stained with something dark. He read out in a stilted tone, “I have to make a flamethrower, a chariot with poison shooting arrows, a two real life hoverboards, about thirty pairs of water, lava, and acid proof headphones, and a few jetpacks.”

“Right,” you muttered, tilting your head at Leo.

 He blinked obliviously at you and tucked away his extensive list, probably not able to hear you speak over the yelling crowds that bustled around carrying bandages and broken weapons, already busying themselves with the aftermath of the set up blood-bath.  

“It was worth it,” he shrugged, “but I’ll be stuck in bunker nine for the rest of the my life.”

“Maybe you can take a day off.” You unfolded your arms, resigned to the fact all of Camp Halfblood was about to witness this. Then you stepped forwards a little and leant in to whisper in his pointed ear. “...Y’know, for our date.” 

Leo blinked.

“Someone get the Leo extinguisher!” A Hebe kid yelled, and there was a general uproar of chaos from everyone but you weren’t really paying attention because Leo had patted down his flaming torso quickly, only that didn’t change the color of his face back to normal.

He narrowed his eyes, but the grin had never faded and you could see his fingers tapping along his thighs a thousand miles an hour. “You serious?”  

You nodded.

“DID YA HEAR THAT?” He yelled at the crowd of teenagers, cupping his mouth with a scarred hand, “I GOT A HOT DATE YALL!” 

“Don’t make me regret it,” you muttered back, rolling your eyes, but when Leo smiled up at you you knew you’d never regret it, so instead you just smiled back, shoving your hands in your pockets while Piper started screaming from Jason’s shoulders. 

Leo clapped his hands eagerly, “great, now you gotta carry me.”

“That’s cringe.”

“I’m being serious,” he said and held his arms up so you could grab him bridal style. You paused for a moment and then resigned yourself to the fact this might be the rest of your life. It wasn’t too bad, you realized, when Leo wrapped his arms around your neck and pointed in the direction of Will triumphantly. “Forward, sexy steed!” 

“One, if you ever call me that again, I will literally throw you off a cliff, and two, why do we have to get to WIll?” You asked as you carried him through the crowd in the direction of the stressed out blonde anyway.

“Cause Clarrise stabbed me in exchange for letting me win.”

Stars and Thoughts

Hogwarts Legacy Characters Zodiac

(Just some thoughts about main student Characters signs, as I know the Zodiac from experience speaking to people around, with any offenses to others <3)

MC: Virgo ♍️

My MC character is a Virgo, close to Libra. Collected, clear, stable Earth sign. They are loyal, ambitious, sometimes even sarcastic and toxic, hard to reassure or change their mind. But closeness to Libra balances out excessive persistence and harshness. Good and talented learner, loyal friend, cleaning maniac, order fanatic with calm but tough character.

Ominis Gaunt: Scorpio ♏️

Ominis is a classic early Scorpio, born in the end of October/beginning of November, from 25.10 to 10.11 to my taste. He is also close to Libra, which makes him a smooth Scorpio. Mysterious, with unique appearance, sarcastic, with amazing humor sense, calm, not very talkative, attentive, strict and just. You are afraid to come close and speak to them, thinking they would sting you hard, they seem too dangerous to approach to… But if you are brave enough, you shall know how kind their heart is and how vulnerable they are inside. Their sting is only a mean to protect their gentle soul.

Sebastian Sallow: Leo ♌️

Early, July Leo, very close to Cancer. Still emotional and vulnerable as a Cancer, but already self-lover and arrogant as a Leo. Thinks he is a center of the Universe and the world is spinning around him, yet, when the truth hits hard, he can break into open and uncontrollable emotions mixed in Water and Fire. Stylish. Self-confident. Claims a crown, world and wealth before he earns it, ambitious, charismatic, energetic, chaotic, unstable and warm. Can be an arrogant king and a crying baby, sometimes at the same time.

Garreth Weasley: Aquarius ♒️

Typical, absolute Aquarius. Born somewhere in the middle of February. Absolutely on their mind, full of new ideas. Creative rebels, going against the system, having their own thoughts about everyone and everything. Calm until they have a new absurd idea, inspired, stubborn, experimental. Fails don’t scare them, they are ready to try again, again, again and again, creating their own worlds. Can be a pain in the ass, never give too much attention to safety, they are never bored and people around are never bored both them. In both good and bad sense.

Natsai Onai: Capricorn ♑️

The beginning or the middle of January. Stable. Serious. Kind. Calm and just, emotionally conscious, aware, you can always rely on them. They are prudent and smart, do not give up in difficult situations and always try to solve the problem. If they have something in mind, they will see it through to the end, sacrificing themselves with a straight smiling face. Talented and stubborn in their studies, careful, diligent, decent, logical and hell of hard working.

Amit Thakkar: Gemini ♊️

June ending, the closeness to Cancer makes him a mumbling talkative and emotional baby. You cannot ever shut them up, but you don’t really want it. Curious, wondrous, greedy learners and readers, dreamers, open mind, but unable to step much outside the box. They are scared of something that is more than written in their book, but they know the subject perfectly. They need a huge amount of time to recover from stress and an ear that is ready to listen about their horrible adventure, slowly turning into a scientific monologue.

Poppy Sweeting: Aries ♈️

Born in the middle of April or end of it, closer to Taurus. Stubborn and focused. They look quite innocent and casual, but are capable to be extremely surprising anyone with their zeal to achieve their goal. They have a sharp look and a brave, kind, loyal heart. Can be absolutely crazy and reckless in a good sense of those words, being a complete angel outside. Being close to Taurus also makes them loyal and grounded, calm, but still stubborn and burning with idea they have in mind.

[bellysoupset]

I hope all is well with you, Soup. Not sure if you've gotten more info about your health, but I've been thinking about you. If you feel like answering, can you talk about nicknames/terms of endearment your characters have for each other? Not just for the couples, but obviously those too. But like, does Vince have something he usually calls Jonah, and vice versa? Or only when they're annoyed with the other, or at some other particular time? Only if you have the time/desire to answer, of course. I know I've been kind of needy, lol.

I thought I didn't have any nicknames between my characters, but then I sat down to answer and realized I actually do!

(about my health, thank u for the well wishes. I'm still waiting for my appointment day and going slowly crazy over it urgh)

"Honey" is how Vince and Wendy call each other and they save that exclusively to one another.

"Babe/baby" is my universal nickname and all my couples use it with each other, as well as they use that with their friends. Wendy tends to call Bella "babe" and Bella has called Leo "baby" in more than one fic.

Bella calls both Vince and Luke "big guy", but mostly Vince.

Vince only calls Bella "beautiful"

Everyone and their mother call Leo "kid/kiddo". Vince, Wendy and Jonah call Leo "blondie" when they're being sarcastic. Sometimes Vince calls him "goldilocks"

Very rarely people will call Bella "ginger/red", but when it slips up its normally Vince or Jonah.

Vin calls his younger sister "bambi", which is both meaning the little deer and a simplification of the italian "bambina" which means girl.

Jonah calls all the girls "darling", but only when he's worried.

Only Bella calls Luke "Lu", which is a derivative of latin languages that tend to shorten the name to the max.

If Bella is feeling particularly corny she'll call Lucas "mi luz" (my light), and it started as a mockery but has stuck around.

Leo calls Jonah "angel" and Jonah is starting to call him that too.

Everyone calls Leo "Casper" given how white he is.

Bella sometimes calls Luke "gringo"

Bella is the one that calls Wendy "Tink" the most, but Luke has called her that before. Mostly other people call Wendy the full "tinkerbell", but Bella shortened this like she shortens everything.

If Luke is feeling veeeery cheeky he'll call Bella "Isa" because he knows it makes her flustered. It's not a name he uses in bed! It's a family nickname and that makes her feel like a teenager.

Jonah is the only one who calls Wendy "Dee" and he only does that when feeling horrible/super thankful and in a rush.

Jonah gets very VERY snappy if any man calls Leo "baby" in front of him (he bites Vince's head off in a fic because of this).

Jonah and Luke both call each other by the surname if they're particularly prickly that day. Atwood/Banks.

Bella calls Luke "handsome" when she's feeling frisky

Vince has ALL the old fashioned nicknames for Wendy, including "doll" and he hasn't tried "baby girl" because of its bad reputation, but give him a few years

Lucas full names his friends/SO when he's pissed. "Isabella Atwood-Martinez!!" / "Vincenzo Monacelli!!!". Vince does this too, but only with the guys.

"dude/man" is a mandatory nickname in the group.

Lucas calls Wendy "ma'am" because he likes how it makes her blush.

Leo has Wen saved in his contacts as "Wicked Witch of the West"

[silverwarewolf]

mkay i know i promised to post excerpts but life is really fucking busy right now sooooo we're switching things around. today! today you get bloody whiskey. and some saturday asks later.

so. welcome, everyone, to this week's writeblr content - it's a little dynamic i thought up called "use two different picrews to portray what your characters look like and what they see themselves as"

in other words, you will see the character's regular appearance on the left (picrew by PotatoLord), and on the right you'll see what they would draw/describe/picrew themselves like (picrew by nuggts).

feel free to do a similar dynamic for your own OC's!

without further ado, bloody whiskey main cast under the cut. enjoy!

Leo, well, what can we say about Leo. He sees himself as a little more awkward than he really is - he's the kind of person who realizes they're in their twenties and go "I'M AN ADULT????"

That also means that, where others only see a friendly demeanor, he thinks it's painfully obvious that he's got a crush. No, it is almost unpercievable to the others, much to his misfortune.

Irvine, Irvine, poor lil Irvine. He's haunted by a lot of things. His past, his vampirism, the paranormal. Somehow, it's easier for the others to note that there's something bothering him than the tension between him and Leo.

So, in the same vein but the opposite end, his facade of obvliviousness and simply happening to be good at stuff like handling animals, butchering, and cooking, is not as good of an act as he thinks it is.

Tanner is pretty consistent, as it turns out! I think the only difference is that he sometimes gets a sense of self doubt about like, his style or how he presents and such, while everyone else pays no mind to it, they think he's cool. Also, his transgender experience is very personal, yeah? so i thought it would be fitting to represent that in this "inner" version of his.

Kamryn is also pretty consistent. If anything, what others percieve as a dry and sarcastic character is five times stronger than he truly means it - he does have that specific sense of humor, but in his mind it's not really that strong? So why does everyone think he's this "cool tough guy" when he's just chilling?

It works in his favor though, for the most part. The charm that he knows he has is also five times stronger than he believes it.

Jo, my sweet angel. She has the opposite issue - to her, she's quite animated and friendly, very whimsical. But sometimes it takes a bit more effort so that her feelings actually translate into her facial expression / general demeanor.

They can appear reserved at times, but once you get to know them, they're actually pretty fun to hang out with. And yes, she and Kamryn are very good friends in part due to this, even though to the outside eye they look like they're always locked in a 5D chess battle.

Louise is somewhere in between the two. She's generally pretty chill, but sometimes she feels unapproachable. Maybe if she opened up about her interests more, it would help! Her siblings didn't really know that she liked exercise (and women), and they only found out way later than Irvine did. He's just observant like that, totally no other reason.

Anna is having a bit of a crisis by the time we meet her. So, she generally thinks of herself as being way less cool / stylish than she is on the outside. She's working on it, though! Once she befriended Tanner, things have been going better for the both of them in that regard.

Winny is more like Josephine. On the outside, she appears like a serious and collected engineer, but on the inside there's a much more animated personality. She absolutely LOVES videogames and holiday seasons, and she's also a lot more adventurous than she looks. I mean, she's been taking motorcycle lessons from Kamryn, after all! Who knew?

Aunt Harley is one of the more consistent ones, I'd say. The only real difference between other's perception of her and her own is that she feels a lot more casual about things? Sure, she owns a very successful farm, but she just feels like she always did decades ago - she even has the same energy!

In truth, she actually enjoys when people see that deeper side of her, youthful and innovative, rather than simply middle aged and mildly wealthy. Only Irvine and Edmund (who isn't on this list) have seen that side of her.

Last but not least - Cousin Kathleen! She's very sure of herself and isn't afraid of showing it! Confident, stylish, and good at her job - she's ready to take on the world whenever!

Some other Kathleen facts: she enjoys horror movies and is actually the one who most regularly accompanies Irvine in the more paranormal moments of the plot. Anything to see a vampire in action! Don't worry about her clothes - she knows how to gets bloodstains out of them, and it's not like her business isn't successful enough to buy another, if it comes down to it.

Chapter 9

Snow Day and Trauma

"Snow day, hurray so magical and new. There's so much we can do! " Raph sings while pushing a huge ball of snow down a hill

"Snow Day no training only fun, We've only just begun! I'm glad I'm here with you!" sings Leo while also pushing a huge pile of snow down the same hill that ends up rolling onto a slide and landing on Mikey while he's making snow angels with Mayhem.

"Snow day hurray! Barometric pressure is so low but my heart is all aglow! Revenge up my TECH BO!" Donnie sings while using his tech bo chain saw to cave a Jupiter Jim snowman.

"Snow Day! Our snowman is the best, Jupiter Jim fans will attest.

Oh Me Gosh, My coats a VEEEST!" Mikey sings while adding some accessories to the snowman and the sleeves of his coat fall apart thanks to Donnie accidentally cutting them off.

"Snow Day! Hurray! We all should be so proud! Snow Day! All together sing out LOUD!" April and I sing together while sitting on Raph's shoulders to place the space helmet on the snowman's head.

"SNOW DAY! HURRAY!", we all sing together

"Great job fam and Donnie I guess," Leo says sarcastically

"If I wasn't so enchanted by our replica of Jupiter Jim I would probably say Look over there PUSH!" Donnie says while pushing his twin into the snow

I laugh hysterically and end up falling into the snow. Raph puts up a flag from his favorite Jupiter Jim movie which almost immediately gets shut down April and Donnie. They then suggest their favorite movie but Leo, Raph, and Mikey laugh at the suggestion. Mikey brings up the fact that they only laugh during the opposite's favorite movie because of Raph's hard cranium-breaking stuff as he falls asleep.

"Yeah, my head takes damage like a boss! Leo hit me!" Raph says confidently

"Oh please let me!" Donnie says while turning his Tech bo into his rocket hammer.

Leo and Mikey tackle him, I fold my arms and pout a bit because I kind of want to see if Raph's claim is true.

"Wait a minute Aqua hasn't said which movie she likes," Leo says while smirking

Everyone turns their attention to me and I flip Leo off for stirring the pot.

"Look guys, I don't have a favorite movie-" I say but I'm cut off by Mikey

"It's ok Aqua we know our movie is your favorite" Mikey says while pulling me into a hug.

"Uh nuh uh, our movie is her favorite" April says while squishing me in her bosom.

"Can't breathe April" I muffle while pulling away

One of Donnie's claw hands from his Tech shell pat me on the head, "It's ok you don't have to say it out loud l know in my heart where your loyalty lies" says Donnie

Little did we know Ghost Bear was still holding a huge grudge against the Turtle brothers and seeing us having fun and our light-hearted arguing he decided to try and sabotage our snow day. Put of nowhere a snowball hits Raph hard and he starts accusing Mayhem of being the culprit. Which causes us to mutually agree on a snowball fight to settle our differences.

"Yes last player standing gets to fly their team's flag," Raph says

"Ok, we're up for a friendly game, no safe base, no weapons, NO MERCY!" April says menacingly as I Crack my knuckles.

"Guess I'm on ] team, which is the winning team" I giggle

Donnie uses a mechanical claw hand to grab me and place myself next to himself. I blink a few times and look at him, while Mikey lists off-limit types of snowballs.

"We aren't savages," Mikey says after listing them off

"Speak for yourself", Donnie says evilly while stroking a snow skull.

Ready, set, SNOW!", Raph yells and the fight commences

We start throwing snow at each other and giggling. April and Mikey are sledding down a hill throwing snow at each other until his sled slips up a slide and he's sent skyward. Donnie and Mayhem get hit by Leo's snowballs, I take my revenge and start creating snowballs with my powers and tossing them with my vines at him. Apparently one of my snowballs hit my Dads while thru were having a relaxing day out in the snow. But I was having too much fun to notice, I sneak around looking for my next victim but I end up in the crossfires of Donnie's mechanical claws showing absolutely no mercy while throwing snowballs. Raph calls a time out and we have a cocoa break. I add whipped cream to everyone's cup spray some in my mouth and gulp it down with my cocoa. Mikey ends up landing in the middle of our circle and I hand him a cup. I put a tiny dollop on Donnie's snout and giggle while he tries his best to lick it off. I start to wheeze and laugh and lean onto April for support. April the sneaky person she is snaps a quick video of it.

It's hard to believe that a few weeks ago tensions were high after escaping from my now estranged family and Draxum.

×Flashback×

( ⚠️ WARNING This segment discusses self-harm, panic attacks, vomiting, and blood ⚠️)

3rd POV

When you guys got back to the lair things seemed to go on as normal but even though everyone acted like they knew you'd never be helping the Foot Clan they had their suspicions, Splinter told the boys and April to keep a close eye on you. Everyone was able to attempt business as usual, all except Donnie. It was extremely hard for the purple-clad turtle to wrap his head around the fact you associated with the enemy so to speak, and he started withdrawing from you. Less time in the lab watching him tinker with a new invention, no late-night coffee runs, and even movie nights weren't the same as he stayed locked in his lab giving the excuse of coming up with a new scientific discovery or he'd just up and leave the lair going on "patrol".

It all came to a head when you came to the lair unannounced with a few boxes of pizza and a new game to play with the boys. Even though you live with them and have your room there now, you usually let them know when you are on your way home. Making your way to the kitchen you see no one is there, so happily carrying the boxes you start searching for the fam, hearing voices coming from the TV room you're about to make your presence known but hearing your name being mentioned you hold off on getting their attention and listen in from the shadows.

"My sons, we cannot let the Foot Clan continue collecting the rest of the armor. We must remain vigilant and continue your patrols for any unusual activity. Now how goes the surveillance on Aqua?" Splinter stares while pacing back and forth

"Nothing out of the ordinary Pops" Raph says

"Yeah, it's almost the same routine with her every day, school, swim practice, sometimes choir rehearsal, a quick trip to the corner store for a snack, a detour to the library, and then she comes home," Leo says unamused while fiddling with his sword and April is texting on her phone.

"I see, at any time my sons the Foot Clan can contact her and recruit her once more-" Before Splinter can continue he's cut off by Donnie.

"I put a tracker on her phone so-" Donnie was then interrupted by his twin.

"You mean to tell me this whole time we could have known her location without having to physically spy on her?" Leo shouts as he points at Donnie with his sword.

Soon the brothers and April start arguing but the sounds are muffled as your ears feel like they are filled with cotton and your purple eyes well up with tears. They were keeping watch over you, they didn't trust you. Your heart clenches in your chest and it's like the wind is knocked out of your lungs. The immediate reaction is to flee so you do so, dropping what's in your arms, quickly making your escape out of the lair and into the bustling streets above.

Once the pizza boxes hit the floor the arguing stops, quickly looking towards the sound they see the boxes on the floor and quickly put two and two together. Looking at each other they nod and start searching for you. Splitting into groups April and Splints, Leo and Mikey, and Donnie with S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N. April starts blowing up your phone with calls and texts while riding her bike, Leo jumps through his portals, Mikey swings from building to building, Raph jumping from rooftop to rooftop and Donnie hovering with his rooters from his battleshell while looking at his arm remote to track my location.

Aqua POV

After hearing the conversation I made my way to my comfort spot on top of a high skyrise rooftop. Once there I start heavy breathing, trying to take in as much air as possible but my lungs are burning from my uncontrollable body-retching sobs, I clench and claw at my chest trying with the fruitless effort to stop the pain I feel in my heart, angry red marks crisscross my chest as blood starts to trickle down, I cross my arms trying to stop my body from trembling, piercing my skin with nails leaving half moon marks and pulling them down my arms creating bloody scratches. It starts to rain, I know the classic sad scene from the movies. My hot tears running down my cheeks are a stark contrast to the cold rain that's pelting my screaming skin, I could use my powers to direct the rain from hitting me but it felt refreshing. Seeing the tracker on my phone blinking, I open up the back of my phone not caring that it gets wet, yanking out the tracker, I stare at it wanting to destroy it but knowing Donnie it would be near impossible. finding a pigeon, and attaching it to it, watching it fly away thinking about all the signs I missed or just chose to ignore. What hurt the most was how Donnie distanced himself, going from being close friends to strangers in a matter of days.

Looking down at the lights below, I dangle my feet on the edge of the building and swing my legs, pushing my now-wet hair that clings to my face, wiping my face and slowly calming myself, but my sadness was replaced with anger. Clenching my fist I punch cement flooring and it causes a huge dent in it, before I can process my shock my eyes start burning, closing them tightly and rubbing at them profusely once the pain subsides and I open them the world looks different, everything is more vibrant with color, I could see heat signatures from the people inside the building, the lights from the surrounding buildings and streets below blind me. I look at myself in a puddle and see my eyes have turned cat-like and are a bright glowing purple just like in my nightmares. I jump back and look at my hand that is now no longer a hand but a red tentacle-like appendage but as quickly as I see it, it turns back into my hand.

"What's happening to me?"

Donnie POV

Weeks have gone by without any word from Aqua. I can't help but think I had some part of her disappearing. April hasn't seen her at school but somehow her assignments are turned in on time and she's being marked as present for classes. How this is possible I know not, but Aqua is quite capable of hacking into the very mediocre school computer security to adjust some things. I tried hacking in myself to find her location but she has deleted her digital footprint and her IP addresses change from state to state or country to country so I can never pinpoint her location, which is very frustrating, to say the least. It didn't help that we were sent on a wild goose chase when she attached the tracker I placed on her phone to a pigeon

"Clever girl"

The pressure is on to find her and hope she hasn't been taken back to the Foot Clan. Looking back at the recording, seeing her face go from her usual happy full-of-life expression to a look of pure betrayal and anguish is unbearable. We've exhausted all avenues to find her, it's as if she never existed. All of us including I reluctantly had sessions with Doctor Feelings about our "feelings" on the situation. But the thing is I don't want to feel, emotions are useless to me so all I've done during these sessions is listen to how everyone is handling this. Mikey has tried to come and have one-on-one sessions but one day I cave.

"Alright Doctor Feelings is in session, You have the floor," Mikey says hesitantly

"Sigh, as you know Feelings aren't my thing, I find that they can hinder one's mind and cause people to react in not productive ways. However, I've been feeling these unnecessary things lately, and well..."

Mikey listens intently and thankfully doesn't interrupt

"I feel as if I failed one in finding her and two in being a good friend, I-I never should have doubted her and pulled away like I did."

My shoulders start to relax as I get these "feelings" off my chest and the tightness in my plastron starts to dissipate slightly.

"I just want to find her..."

Mikey walks over placing a hand on my shoulder, which causes him to stiffen slightly. The moment is broken when Leo barges into the lair shouting for help. Rushing out into the atrium and seeing a bundled-up person in his arms.

"It's Aqua and she's very sick," says Leo panicking

The purple-clad ninja immediately jumps into action instructing hid twin to bring her to the Med Bay. Once I'm placed on a med bed and Leo's hoodie is removed from her the sad state of her condition is revealed. It has now started to become cold outside and he can see my chapped cold bloodied lips, uncontrollable shivering body, pale ghost-like skin, and skinny fragile frame. Mikey brings in warm blankets, Leo grabs some IV fluids, S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N sends a group message that they found me and soon everyone crowds around in the room looking at their friend/daughter. Donnie is busy working to try and get her as comfortable as possible.

"She has pneumonia, we will have to quarantine her and give her plenty of fluids," The purple terrapin says.

Closing off the area and donning PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), Donnie inserts the IV into her, wrapping her in a warm blanket but not before noticing the bandages that encircle her arms and shoulders, staring at her sunken pale face he couldn't help but gently stroke her cheek, wondering where she was and what she did to cause this. He attached a heart monitor and soon the sound of her thumping heart fills the room. Sighing long and deep, he sinks into a rolling computer chair, taking his palms and covering his eyes while shockingly a few tears escape his eyes and 6 onto his lap, hearing footsteps he quickly wipes them away and looks in the direction of the noise.

Leo walks in with a solemn and understanding look on his face. He placed his hand briefly on his purple twin's shoulder. He started explaining how he was on a pizza run and he ended up seeing me on a rooftop meditating, he tried to get her attention but it was like she was in a trance and no amount of tapping, shaking, or yelling snapped her out of it. Covered in a light layer of freshly fallen snow he removed her hood and saw the state she was in fearing the worst he portaled both of them back to the lair. Donnie nods his head slowly and brings his attention back to his friend hoping she will wake up soon.

Soon Master Splinter comes to visit, Donnie hasn't left her side just in case she has someone there when she wakes up.

"What can cause her to be in this state?" Donnie says sadly

"My son the human brain is one mysterious thing, Perhaps she experienced such emotional pain and trauma that in order to escape the feeling she performed ancient deep meditation technique. Very powerful and dangerous if not done properly. While in this state your body and mind go into a deep sleep, but to survive the body starts to eat away at itself to stay alive. She must have been in this state for a very long time to turn out like this." Splinter said

"How long will she continue being in this state?"

"I know not, but all we can do is help her body recover"

And so he did, as the days went by Donnie routinely changed the IV fluids, inserted antibiotics into the fluids and added ointment for her wounds that were now turning into scars, April would give her sponge baths, brush and style her hair, and talk to her about her day at school. Each member took turns talking to her as she was in her Sleeping beauty state. Donnie would go on his info dumps about his projects and quietly beg you to come back.

"Please come back to us, to...me" He whispers

One day when Donnie was finally convinced to eat something he reluctantly went to the kitchen with his family, Mikey made dinner and was plating Donnie's food when he heard the heart monitor pick up its thumping pace, dropping the plate he quickly made his way back to the med bay and sees that her eyes are open.

Aqua POV

Something was calling out to me, I don't know for how long but the darkness had me feeling so safe and secure that I didn't want to leave. I heard each member of the turtle fam talk to me and it made me think of the happy times but the dark shadows reminded me of the hurt they caused so again I didn't fight it. But I finally decided I needed to wake up when I heard Donnie beg me to wake up, opening my heavy eyes was no easy feat, the darkness tried its hardest to keep me. I broke through it and saw dim lights, I heard a heart monitor thumping away at a fast pace and slowing down as my eyes and body started to adjust. I hear the fast-moving pitter-patter of feet, turning towards the noise I see an out-of-breath Donnie, he slowly makes his way to me and turns off the heart monitor. He looks at me not knowing what to say soon the rest of the gang piles into the room and stares at me in shock.

There was an awkward moment of silence so I broke it by saying, "I'm back from the dead". That gets a round of chuckles and small smiles from the group. April rushes over hugging me and tears run down her face, I hug her back while my tears start to form. Soon everyone joins the group, even Donnie gives an awkward hug.  After Donnie runs a full diagnostic test and gives me antibiotics Mikey gives me a plate of some delicious-smelling food, but not having much of an appetite I pick at my food. The gang gives me space to give me time to come to them when I'm ready. The person I've been in close quarters with the most and Donnie and it was very awkward to say the least.

"How are you feeling?"

"Emotionally or physically?"

"I-uh both I suppose..."

"I guess I still feel a bit numb..."

"I see"

I continued this way until I was given a clean bill of health by Doctor Don. Making my way to my room, I take off my sweaty clothes, glancing at the full-length mirror I see the now angry scars on my shoulder and arms and sigh. Taking a quick shower, putting on an oversized t-shirt and sweatpants I text Mikey...I mean Doctor Feelings. Mikey knocks on my wall, I say that he can enter, and he pushes my space-designed curtain so he can come in, We sit on my bed and I hold onto a pillow.

"Whenever you are ready, speak your mind and don't hold back"

*sigh* Well I guess I'm just hurt that everyone assumed that I knew what my dads were doing. I know that it's hard to believe but I suspected something but not on this kind of scale.

Mikey nods his head but continues to listen intently

"I love you guys like family and I would never hide something like this from you guys especially when the whole world can be at steak. I left my home, my life, and everything I knew to stand by your guys' side"

Once I was finished Doctor Feelings hugged me tightly. He states that he obviously won't share what we spoke about unless I want to, but he suggests that I tell everyone in person. Once he leaves I do some thinking and not being able to sleep, I decide to make myself a cup of Joe, shuffling to the kitchen in my fuzzy slippers I see a dim purple glow and know immediately who it is. Before I can turn around to make a quick escape I sense Donnie's dark brown eyes staring at me. I turn back around and shyly shuffle my feet.

"Can't sleep"

"Y-yea, I have a lot on my mind"

"I understand that"

He takes a sip of his coffee while grabbing my signature cup and making my coffee the way I like it. Gratefully take the cup and take a sip of my own.

"So I know you aren't good with...feelings"

"Scoff Ouch, duh I am perfectly capa-"

I quirked an eyebrow at him and put a hand on my hip.

"Uh yes continue"

"Anyway, I've been thinking and I need to get something off my chest. I now realize why you started distancing yourself from me, but it still hurts...."

He awkwardly scratches the back of his neck and sighs as he puts down his cup on the counter.

"Yes, I regret how things turned out, my intention wasn't to hurt you." He hesitates to word his feelings but continues. "My calculations on the probability of this going wrong...well obviously didn't pan out in either of our favors. I will do anything in my power to right my wrong"

Giving a small smile I gently punch his shoulder. "I'll hold you to that Von Ryan" I say with a giggle.

He returns the smile and chuckles

*End of flashback*

After recovering from my laughing fit, I see Raph trying to put his team's movie flag up but Mayhem shut that down quickly, and soon we picked up the snowball fight again. In the midst of it we hear this terrifying howl and out of the trees jumped Ghost Bear. But he looked very beast-like, Raph started to fangirl big time and was taking a ton of selfies, my shock was heightened more when Ghost Bear tried to punch Raph but his punch went right through him as his arm turned into a ghost form. But once the ex-pro wrestler figured out how to control his newfound powers he punches Raph into a tree almost knocking him into our beloved snowman. Soon he turns his attention towards us and starts charging.

"Mayhem a little help" Leo says

Mayhem portals himself to the lair grabbing our weapons, while we are busy running for our lives and taking our snowman with us. Mayhem drops our weapons on us and we get into a fighting stance. But before we could attack he destroyed the snowman. We have a brief moment of sadness but we come to an agreement that being together watching the movies is what's important and fun. Ghost bear kicks our butts without having to physically hurt us because our attacks went through him and would hit one of us when he jumps on Mikey and flattens him into the snow that allows us to climb up trees to hide. But he finds us and cuts them down with his claws. Then Raph gets an idea to stop Ghost Bear.

"I got, you guys stsy close enough so he's attavking and stays soilid Well use our icy environment just like Jupiter Jim did," Raph says proudly

"Wow full circle," Donnie says sarcastically

Mayhem blinds him with one of our flags, Mikey wraps his kusari-fundō’s chain around him to trap him, Raph smashes a fountain, while I direct the water into Leo's portal, Donnie uses his Tech Bo to freeze Ghost Bear while the water pours on him and soon he freezes in place while trying to grab the flagpole. We take a sigh of relief and come to the conclusion that since we all love Jupiter Jim we should all be part of the flag, so we all tie our scarves to the pole and watch them blow in the wind.

"Woah woah wait, how come Raph's is on top?" Leo asks, I facepalm while giggling and throwing a snowball at his face earning a smirk from his purple twin and me giving a knowing smile back.

[longingwithstars]

either you had a book with your nose buried in it as you put one foot in front of the other or eyes in the sky watching the dragons flying around as staff tried to wrangle you in check until it was time to grow up. you were a child who stayed under the bed prepared to catch the monsters and under the bed until you hear the crown calling your name. you hid behind father and mother as you tried to not see all the darkness around but knowing the world you grew up in is a vicious place because its all you’ve known and maybe you don’t want to see such darkness anymore. eyes that burn with passion but can also turn cold with a single word. doing thing. well by sheer hard work and determination but fueled by spite.

  narrative...

first born and future heir, Tahlia was born on a very hot, more than typical, day and she came out screaming as if to let the world know she had arrived. doted from a young age, many told them how not only was she adorable and that she had the face of angel but that she was destined for great things. tahlia was a quiet child, always her head in an alchemy book or eyes in the sky watching the dragons fly.

Tahlia from a young age was taught by her scholars that the greatest idea was for Lyris to be prosperous and she couldn't agree more with them. she was a quick learner, following along what ever learning they had for her as well as many other quick lessons. she did develop a knack for alchemy and spends her free time working on various projects she hopes can help her people.

when Tahlia became of age, oh how her life changed. She was out there being amongst the people and attending sessions with her father. she knows her whole life has been planned for her the moment she was born and sometimes has had thoughts of what would her life be if she could do something different but knows to put those thoughts behind. she wants to continue the family legacy. she has heard of the calamity that is at the kingdoms gates and knows that she must do what she can to stop it from causing more destruction.

Personality wise, Tahlia is your typical social butterfly who enjoys being the crown princess. can talk your ear off like no other but has a way that when they are with others, they just blurt everything to her. is known for her love of alchemy from such a young age that has only grown that she can talk your ear off about the subject. Tahlia can be a bit sarcastic and reckless, maybe it comes with everything having somehow always been in her favor and knowing she has others around who can support her. Tahlia can be very blunt as she isn’t one to sugar coat things ( if you’re straight with her, she’ll be the same with you ). has aspirations to be a dragon rider (maybe a little bit jealous of hearing her mom and siblings talk about their bond with their dragon) as she thinks its one way she can help protect her people.

Ships came natural to her, whether being able to make friends real easy or jumping straight into a relationship with someone. with friends, she’ll be loyal, the one to take care of you when sick, the one you could use for any excuse. though the minute you cross her or if you do something to her siblings, its over between you both and might fight you. with love, she loves the idea of love to a fault but she loves the chase aka the honeymoon phase. once the fire dies down, she’ll either dip before it gets serious or does something dumb to mess it up. just know that once its over, she’s on to the next person she finds with thoughts in the back of one day finding something true but knows it can be a weakness (even though she sees the relationship her parents have and wants something like that).

— OPEN CONNECTIONS;; 

ride or die ( open to one ) ;; the bestie, the platonic soulmate, the one she would do anything for, maybe they have pet names for each other, etc. they are the best of friends and no one can tear them apart (maybe?).

exes ( open to two ) ;; honestly, i just like exes. bonus points if there’s still tension and hook up but then regret it or if they’re just really good friends now with no tension at all. maybe they hook up here because tension is there. i love all options.

will they, wont they ( open to one ) ;; essentially a flirtationship. they flirt too much that others assume that they are dating or are going to at some point. maybe the idea has been on one of their mind but they are too good of friends to ever cross that line (?).

one (or more) night stand/ fling ( open to many ) ;; one night, she was maybe a little bit down and needed something to pick her up. this worked. or maybe they met up at the bar or a party and it just happened. whether it’s turned into a regular thing or was just one night can be determined later.

old friends ( open to a few ) ;; maybe they were friends early in their lives or another way, but somehow, they fell apart. maybe she did something stupid and drove them away (could be fun for plotting purposes).

party buddies ( open to a few ) ;; she isn’t one to say no to a night of drinks and partying that leads to her regretting in the morning. just know she is ready for night 2 if they are prepared.

enemies / frenemies ( open to one ) ;; however these enemies/frenemies became known to each other can be determined later, but either way, dislike / hate / talk about each other behind their backs.

honestly anything else you can think of, i’m down for!!

bio page

childhood:

being born into a crime family wasn’t an easy pill to swallow. while they were a kid, akira and his mom had a very close relationship. often, most would see him attached at the hip to his mother. his dad, most of the time, was too busy dealing with deals and taking over the city to even notice when the pair weren’t at home. even going as far as being successful in kindergarten and elementary school. their parents were often told that he was a child genius. at that time, his angel would dress him like his own personal doll, and he was often called the face of the family. but at the age of eight, his mom was taken out as a hit against his family. the hit happened while he was at the park with his mom.

adolescent:

it was after his mom passed that akira realized she was the only person who truly cared for his well-being. there was no longer a reason for him to dress up nicely and go outside when going outside was the thing that killed his mother. his grades started declining, and he became more cautious of those who would approach him. his family started seeing him less and less when it came to dinner and weekly meetings. it was in moments when he shut himself in that he fell in love with computers. even while shut in, he wanted to prove himself to his father. so, when requested to dig up information on his enemies, he would use his knowledge to find out anything and everything that could be used to bring them down. it was also during this time that he struggled with his self-identity and being comfortable in his own skin.

TMNT PIA: Character introduction - Raphael

(I do wanna stress that his design has changed quite a bit since I drew this, I just don’t have an updated version yet)

Hamato-Teng Raphael is a scorpion mud turtle, he’s 16 years old, 5’7” and goes by he/him pronouns, bisexual. He’s the second oldest. This version of Raph, similar to Mikey, is very much a combination of many other version of the character, the main two being ‘87, as shown by his overall sassy and sarcastic nature, and also 2003, just a slightly more chill version. He still gets angry quite a lot but he’s not got as short of a temper as Raph is usually depicted having, he more so just gets annoyed and won’t actually yell and get angry unless it’s something that’s a real trigger for him or he’s already under a lot of stress. He’s not very proud of it though. Overall, Raph has a very brash and sarcastic personality with a quick, sharp wit. He will often use these traits to deflect criticism or insults, and side-step responsibility. He will switch between playful and destructive as he pleases, and his humor tends to be crude and crass, with an emphasis on dirty and violent jokes.

(This is your reminder that thus series is rated Mature, there are no actually sex scenes but the boys do like to jokes about it from time-time because well they are teenage boys at the end of the day)

A few fun facts to get to know him better

Similar to Mikey in this iteration, he also has a tendency to be the annoying older brother who’s constantly teasing and ‘bullying’ his younger brothers (Especially Leo) whenever he gets a chance, but where Mikey’s is usually calling them names, holding things just out of their reach and jumping out of the closet and scaring them, Raph takes it a little further e.g. randomly wrestling them out of nowhere, hitting them completely unprovoked, stealing their things and hiding them, kicking them off the PlayStation, pushing them too hard on their homemade tire swing so they fall off, giving them unconnected controllers so that they think they’re playing the game with him, splashing water at them, throwing a ball with too much force etc. as well as his tendency to make everything a competition.

When it comes to weapons, he prefers to use two at the same time e.g. sai, katanas, daggers, tonfa and even nunchucks. He can use a bo (which he has a tendency to set in fire whenever he uses one) or an odachi just fine but he prefers the feeling of using two at the same time, mainly in part because he’s ambidextrous.

He has a surprisingly deep, passionate appreciation for romance. Because of this, he’s a bit of a hopeless romantic who jumps at the opportunity of a girlfriend or boyfriend that he completely ignores their red flags and even his own.

He’s a surprisingly skilled seamster. He makes most of his own outfits as well as stuff for the others e.g. Leo’s cape and Donnie’s hoodie.

Because of how long and sharp his claws are, he tends to avoid touching others because he’s scared of accidentally hurting them. This was a lot easier to avoid when he was younger as Splinter would just clip them for him, but now that he actually uses them them for defence in case he looses his weapons, he can’t do this anymore.

If I had to pick a voice actor that I would like for Raph to be voiced by I would definitely pick Michael Kovach, who you may know as the voice of Angel Dust - Hazbin Hotel (pilot), Jaxx - The Amazing Digital Circus and Rocky - Lackadaisy

You already know who I'm gonna ask for😻 Astral for the ask prompt thingy?

Here we go!

Favourite thing about them

Everything His personality! I love how he is capable of being super serious and cold but also the sweetest guy ever! In the first season, especially near the start, he was the most sarcastic guy ever, and was just done with EVERYTHING, but under all that he's genuinely sweet, just look at him in Cross Duel XD

(I also really love his dub voice. It may sound a bit too old but it's really good, especially how he can sound like a fed up parent one second then a very loving brother the next)

Least favourite thing about them

What happened to him at the end. His way of getting Yuma to duel him in the final duel episode was a bit weird, and his attitude was not like him at all. I feel like it would have been more in character for him to be like 'I don't want to do this, but I have no choice, it's what I was entrusted to do...buuuuuut if you maybe duel me I'll have a reason not to' rather than the cold act he put on. I get that it was to raise stakes and all, but you can have a high stakes emotional duel without making one betray the others, like Joey and Yugi's duel in the Duelist Kingdom Arc. Also I am not happy that he was the only one who didn't get to stay on earth. If frickin' VECTOR deserved a normal life so did he!

Favourite line(s)

(Tired parent voice) "Two multiplied by four is eight"

"Oh, please. You snorer." (Yes he really did call Yuma this. Twice)

(Affection brother voice) "I believe that is called '✨detention✨'

The whole speech he gave when taking over the duel against 96 "Yuma, please know I will always be here to high five sky with you" (you hear that? That's me sobbing)

Also my favourite line (so far) in Cross Duel "I feel the same way about you <3" (this is just a dating sim at this point XD)

BrOTP

Him and Yuma! Obviously. They just ARE brothers, you can't convince me otherwise. I also like to think that Astral's mentally adopted Yuma and considers him his child. Aside from Yuma another one is him and Nelson- they're best friends post series and go off on anime rants at 2 am in the morning on the phone to each other and Nelson uses his connections to get Astral rare merch.

Also thanks to cross duel, him and Yugi are a brOTP (Astral likes how nice Yugi is and Yugi just wants to be there for him), as well as him and Yusei (he sees Yusei as a big brother, and he and Yuma remind Yusei of Leo and Luna, plus Yusei keeps an eye on him) and him and Yusaku (ptsd kids who help each other cope) and also him and Skye (they're both sweet kids and i love the idea of skye helping him calm down when he's triggered)

OTP

me None :)

I just don't ship him with anyone, he's very much aroace (i say that like i dont hc EVERYONE as aroace with only a few exceptions XD)

nOTP

(Hides) Him and Mist! I'm sorry, I know how popular that is, but I just can't ship them! I can easily see them as brothers, but not lovers. Not just because of them looking like twins but also I just don't think it would be a very healthy dynamic. (Also Astral and Don Thousand, because apparently that's a thing. Even if I didn't hc Don as Astral's father, that ship just makes me uncomfortable. Astral's clearly a child and Don is clearly an adult)

Random headcanon

Astral can drive despite being underage. Really really dangerously. He once had to drive a car because Kaito couldn't. In Kaito's words: "Never again!" Did they all live? Yes. Did Astral destory a lot of property? Also yes.

Unpopular opinion

I've already mentioned this one before: I can't hc Astral as nb/ using they/them pronouns. Canon has already established Astral as he/him, and while I fully understand if others want to hc him that way, I just can't, sorry.

Song I associate with them

Angel with a Shotgun (probably because of an amv I watched of him) and also Queen of Mean from Descendants 3 XD, I just think it suits the Sargasso events when he lost control. Also that bit in Happier than Ever, "I dont relate to you, cause I'd never treat me this shitty" sounds like him yelling at Eliphas.

Favourite picture of them

Any scene where he's smiling! (I have waaay too many screencaps to go hunting for one)

Example: THIS SCENE!

Etymology: Deliah – The Delilah is a type of dahlia; The Delilah symbolizes beauty, commitment, and kindness. Another meaning is finding inner strength; the Victorians used the flower to signify a lasting bond and commitment between two people. They can symbolize elegance, inner strength, change, creativity, and dignity. They can also symbolize positivity, resilience, wildness, and happiness. Generally, dahlias symbolize new beginnings, fresh starts, enduring kindness, and even grave in challenging times.

Lillie – Variation of the nickname “Lily” – These flowers represent purity, innocence, rebirth, and resurrection just to name a few. Lilies may represent mourning and to some they symbolize death because represent the moment when the soul departs the body.

Holmes — Surname of literature’s most famous detective (and possibly one of literature’s earliest cases of a character with ADHD).

Face Claim: Young Lillie - Malina Weissman

Young Adult - Katherine Langford (Hannah Baker/Morgan Stark/Nimue/Leah Burke/Meg Thrombey)
