Part 6 -- Part 8

Series Masterlist

Breakfast is a quiet affair. You're still trying to get your head around your strange husband. He feels like a walking contradiction. Angry, but apologetic and seemingly caring. You weren't too hurt to notice how strong his arms are as he moved you to the sink. He looked so stern and serious that, combined with the unexpected touch, you were certain he was going to lose his temper at you. Instead, he apologized.

"This food is so good," Jake comments. You realize he's already eaten most of his plate! "You're such a good cook. Where'd you learn how?"

You flinch a little at the question. "You're going to think I'm a horrible person," you preface. "The kitchen was one of the few rooms in the house my family never went to so I asked some of the staff to teach me cooking so I'd have an excuse to stay in there." You stop eating, waiting for him to tell you how horribly ungrateful you are to your family.

"That's smart," Jake nods. You look up at him, but he seems sincere. "What? You needed to get away from time to time and, while you could have just said you were managing the kitchen, you instead take the opportunity to learn a skill. Plus, that way you never have to rely on someone else to cook for you. Very smart."

"Oh, um...thank you," you sputter as you get back to eating.

"I'm guessing that's why you went to college? Like me in the military it was a good reason to get away?"

You nod and gather your courage before answering, "I even specialized in shark conservation so I'd have an excuse to be out in the middle of the ocean. Away from anything and everything resembling wi-fi or phone networks."

He chuckles, "I had similar scenarios, but in the middle of jungles. All I'd have is a sat phone or something that would only occasionally work." He pauses to take a few more bites. "Honestly, I think one of the reasons I went into Coms and Tech is so I could learn to detect if my phone was bugged by my parents."

Both of you go quiet again for a bit, alternating between bites of food and sips of coffee.

"Um," you start, "would, can I ask..."

"Feel free to ask me anything," Jake assures.

"Do you have any food preferences I should know about? Things to avoid? Things you're allergic to?"

Jake smiles, "no allergies, as far as I know. And I am, by no means, a picky eater. You cook, I eat, simple as that."

"Okay, um, what's, what's your favorite food?"

He thinks for a minute. "Honestly, I'm a sucker for a good cheeseburger. I know, I'm pretty basic like that."

"It's a comfort food?"

He takes a breath, "maybe. Growing up, my parents had almost complete control over my diet. In high school, me and a couple friends would sneak out for lunch and hit up the burger place down the street. It was the closest I had to rebellion."

Your eyes go wide. "That's...I never could!"

"It was definitely stupid," Jake agrees. "I'm not sure what would've happened if we got caught, but we needed some way to act out. I didn't want to become a bully, I didn't have sports as an outlet, so I needed something else."

Silence falls over the two of you again for a bit.

"I hope you don't mind me asking," Jake starts. "Why sharks?"

"They have such a horribly undeserved reputation," you begin. "So much so that they're over-fished and almost no one cares. They get mutilated for a delicacy and they did nothing wrong! They're incredibly important to the ocean's ecosystem but because of some stupid movie series no one bats an eye when they get hunted to extinction. It's just...not fair!" Your emotions start catching up with you so you so talking for fear of being taunted and sneered at for being "too sensitive".

"You're really sweet," Jake says, his voice barely above a whisper. "Have you been able to do any conservation things since graduating? Like a fundraiser or something?"

You hang your head in embarrassment. "Mother and Father would never allow it. Said they didn't want the family name associated with cold blooded creatures for fear of the comparisons the press would make."

"That's bullshit," Jake softly exclaims. "You can't even make an anonymous donation or something?"

You bite your lip, trying to gauge how much you can trust him.

Jake sees your reaction, "have you already been? Going behind your parents' back?" You stay silent. "If so, I seriously congratulate you! That's dedication to your cause and a sign of how strong you really are."

You're glad you're keeping your head down so he can't see the shock on your face. You really do hope he's sincere. That he can be trusted.

After a bit more silence Jake starts grabbing up the plates. "Guess I should keep my end of the deal and get to work on the dishes. Thanks, again for the delicious breakfast."

"It's not a problem," you whisper, fighting the urge to clean up for yourself.

At that moment you hear the door to the penthouse open and Jake's father loudly proclaiming, "we're here!"

Alright Espighty,

Tell me of the anatomy of bugs in your au.

I need to know

Ok, SO. In my COTL canon, most creatures actually still have their species-specific breathing systems. Bugs still have spiracles, fish still have gills, etc. They have all evolved to have a psuedo-lung system so they can talk like mammals can, but that's the only function the pseudo-lungs have. The species-specific respiratory systems are what actually get oxygen into the blood.

For instance, Leshy.

I like to think he has spiracles on his sides like a caterpillar. They're just behind his short extra arms. It's part of why he prefers to wear just a cloak instead of a full outfit. He doesn't really like having to breathe through fabric. (It's just a personal taste thing. Some bugs are ok with it, some aren't.)

This also ties in to why Leshy does the little 'raptor hands' pose all the time. Whenever he's standing still, he will unconsciously hold his arms out of the way of his spiracles. It's a worm mannerism. Most other worms do it too.

Shamura is a bit of a special case, but I ultimately decided to just give them a similar system placement to Leshy.

They are one of the aforementioned "bugs who do not mind wearing regular clothes".

And then for the fish side of things, Kallamar.

Aquatic creatures can breathe underwater and on land. However, they do still need some level of moisture. If the gills get too dry, breathing becomes extremely uncomfortable, even painful, and it gets significantly harder to get enough oxygen. It's not necessarily enough to suffocate, but it's very unpleasant and best avoided. Anchordeep had enough dew in the air that aquatic creatures could breathe very easily, but for those that live elsewhere, it's common practice to wrap damp cloth around the gills. Which is why I always draw Kallamar with the scarf. It helps him breathe.

[cal-daisies-and-briars]

I feel bad asking for more but I'm so excited for trans Eddie 🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️🧜‍♂️

Don't feel bad AT ALL! I am loving all the enthusiasm for this one.

57 for 🧜‍♂️:

---

What the fuck? What does Buck think they’re going to do? Swim or something else? Eddie doesn’t like where this is headed. Not that Buck isn’t super hot. He is. Just… Eddie would prefer if they…

Wait. 

Wait a second. 

Buck drops his shirt onto the ground and Eddie sees them. What he thought were top surgery scars. For the first time, he gets a clear view. And, uh… They definitely aren’t. There’s several thin slits in his skin. Not scar tissue at all. They almost look like… Like fish gills. 

“Uh…” Eddie struggles. “Buck, I don’t know-”

But Buck doesn’t wait to listen. He strides right into the water, wading until the water is up to his waist. Then he sort of just… Drops. Like all his height has disappeared. Eddie doesn’t know how to make sense of what he’s watching. Buck seems to shift a little right before Eddie’s eyes. Body changing, though Eddie isn’t quite close enough to make out all the nuanced details. Similar looking gills appear on his neck. Something changes with his hands. 

And then… Then Eddie sees it. The craziest thing he’s ever fucking seen in his life. Buck twists in the water, and as a result, a large, silvery-scaled tail, with splashes of a hot orangey-pink color, like a sunset, rises above the surface and slaps back down again. 

Eddie nearly screams. He stumbles backward a few paces. 

Buck turns around to look at him. 

“You coming?” He calls out.

And so Eddie, completely baffled and sort of thinking he must still be high, says the exact same thing. 

“What the fuck?” 

ii. 

So there’s a substantial chance Buck got this all wrong. Eddie is looking at him like he is a complete freak of nature. He is, but that’s beside the point. The point is that Eddie said they were the same, and now Buck can see that’s very much not true. He’s still alone. And now, on top of that, he’s spilled a secret he was never meant to tell anyone. 

Now he’s probably fucked. 

“Oh, shit,” he whispers, noticing the abject horror on Eddie’s face. “Shit, shit, shit.”

If Buck wasn’t in the water, he’d probably be keeled over from panic. Whenever he’s in the water and like this, he always feels a bit more at ease. But even that can’t snuff out his current dread. 

“What are you?” Eddie asks, eyes bugging out of his head. 

Well, isn’t that sort of obvious?

[ellouchi]

Ok Mouthwashing crew cat assignment as well as hcs.

(all images are taken from google search)

Curly: the hardest for me to assign, I would say Main Coon or LaPerm. They have personally similar to Curly's and appearance vise too.

Cat Curly would get along with all the cat crew. He loves to sit near windows and observe the outside world. His favourite toy would be fish shaped, but he doesn't have any strong preference. This kitty is very polite and clever: when you call your cats he understands you and gathers all others cats. The best bug hunter, Curly will save you from any unwanted bug. Brings stuff to you too, like small trinkets or even his prey (still alive though, be careful!!). Camera likes him and he does very good poses.

Post stove cat Curly would be alert and quiet. Unfortunately he would be depressed, having troubles playing and eating, preferring to sleep at some secure place without people. Meanwhile cat Jimmy would become more confident and erratic, making trouble for everyone in the house. Curly wouldn't like taking his meds at all, his meows are extremely hard to listen to. Cat Anya could be found near him more often.

Jimmy: street Tabby cat with evil looking green eyes (found with flees and diseases too💚💚💚)

Cat Jimmy is a menace. Knows he is not allowed to scratch furniture and walls but still does it. Takes others' toys and hides them all the time. Fail cat because he can't groom himself properly (cat Curly has to help). Meows are weird and loud: DO NOT close any doors. Jimmy loves hunting, always in hunting mode but as mentioned above he is a fail cat. Play fights with Curly a lot, once he tried with Swansea and it didn't end well for him. HATES patting but doesn't mind head scratching. His tail is a no-no. Steals food from others, especially Curly (because he lets him), so you have to lock Jim away somewhere.

Swansea: Persian is made for him!!

Cat Swansea is very old and independent. He's hard to read, but if you manage to learn how, you'll be rewarded. Likes to be alone and watch the order in the house from his favourite spot. Quite distressed if something is amiss and doesn't like new stuff and strangers, especially kids but he has the saint's patience. Flicks tail in annoyance, flicks tail in annoyance, flicks tail in -- Swansea can eat anything, but he knows he's not allowed to eat human food. Would still look veeery intently at the ice cream you bring. If it doesn't contain chocolate, give him a lick or too....

Anya: unsurprisingly Russian Blue, from my experience very gentle cats.

She doesn't get along with all the cats. She and cat Jimmy have had nasty fights (he always initiated them), other cats had to step in as well as you. Anya enjoys human company more, especially if it's the humans she knows. Otherwise she hides somewhere for a while and then tentatively returns to sniff newcomers. She can sense negative emotions well so she will come and sit on the lap and purr... for hours. Cat Anya loves sleeping beside you or under your covers with you. She chirps and looks at you when you call her. A foodie, don't feed cat Anya too much or she will get sick.

Daisuke: Japanese bobtail cat with calico tri colour coat (cute bell provided)

Cat Daisuke is a menace but in light-hearted sense. He loves to explore your house, always gets stuck somewhere or breaks something but never on purpose. If you open a cabinet or a drawer, expect to find him sitting there (he will learn to open things himself anyway). Jumps when scared but quickly recovers. He's a young cat so he's still very active, loooves to play, the faster the game the better. Doesn't like to play alone though, he needs attention from anyone or he will sulk. Successfully begs for treats: Daisuke looks very cute and polite and you hate yourself for caving in every single time. Sticks to cat Swansea: one time Swansea hisses at Daisuke, the other time he grooms the younger cat. Strange.

♡ He had a silly little crush on you as a kid,, he is plain head over heels as a grown up now though,,,,,,,,

♡ While the others just pushed him to train more and more until he was mentally exhausted, you would take him on little meditation forest picnics to clear his head and have fun after you're done with the (serious) meditations

♡Lloyd is amazed by your ability to always show him a part of a familiar place that is absolutely new and virgin to him,,

♡he loves how you find the beauty in every little being,, seeing you so in touch with your element gives him more motivation to explore his own and improve everyday

♡ you two would be rolling around in the grass and catching frogs and he would be the happiest he has been in weeks <3

♡ you are this boy's heaven and he thinks you are literally amazing,,

♡ you dislike forcefully growing your plants out so you play the guitar and sing to them to help them grow,,, he really likes singing along with you <3

♡Lloyd is a sucker for greek mythology and he loves pointing the similarities between you and the gods that rule over the wildlife. You adore listening to him ramble about it and its so interesting to you,,,,,,,

♡ Lloyd takes notice of how you're just as wild as the forest - gentle, beautiful, but still mystic and untamed,, he is in love

♡ He caught you catching a fish for an injured mama bear with your bare teeth. Just like that. UH-

Kai

♡ At first when you and the ninja begin to train under Wu together, Kai is so jealous of you,, you make the mastering of an element look so easy, while he was struggling so much,, of course he wouldn't let you notice, pfft yeah and give you an ego boost-

♡He is actually scared of embarrassing himself in front of you, since you look really nice and he wants you to think he is cool,,,,,,,,,,,

♡ Kai is about to lose his lunch when he sees someone cutting one of your limbs off during a battle,, he almost faints from worry while you just shrug it off and start growing a new one while the others take care of the villain and the half conscious Kai.

♡ When he comes to his senses, you're almost done shaping your new fingers into their original shape and he is blown away

♡ HOW THE HELL@@@????@

♡He is so impressed!! Kai actually realizes your body works just like a plant and is very curious on what else you can do, but doesn't want to annoy you so he keeps his questions to himself and sensei Wu

♡ Kai is proudly showing you off at dinner time that night!! He tells everyone how you were so brave and amazing and how your power is incredible!!!!!!!! He is also impressed with your pain tolerance

♡ At one point he notices your weakness to the cold and he is gladly there to warm you up he is dying on the inside he is so flustered

♡ Kai only buys you chocolates and never flowers, because he thinks you would be mad that he gives you your dead babies??????? Once he switched the chocolates with poppies in a pot (with a ribbon on!!) and it was adorable,,

♡ he is scared of bugs and when he makes you mad you put beetles in his hair

♡ you love sleeping in his room since it is so warm and toasty,, you bring your water bottle along every time and he finds it adorable, because you act just like a plant <33

♡He loves it when you change your hands into different objects/weapons,, you started chasing a screaming jay with your gigant axe hand and he kept hyping you up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Zane

♡ you're weird, he's weird - soulmates1!!!

♡ Zane is absolutely in love with your connection with nature and wants to see the world through your eyes,,

♡ sometimes he gets a little insecure about how you can love him - a nindroid, knowing what you see, feel, your deep connection with life, but you are quick to comfort him that he is a living being that deserves just as much love as anything else that breathes the same air and walks the same earth as you all <33

♡ Zane spends a lot of time trying to understand how using your elemental power can come so easy to you and not the rest of them, but when he starts to join you in your free time more frequently he starts to understand - you just have fun with it. You let every new ability come to you naturally and you practice it little by little until you perfect it. You completely understand your power and do not pressure it. While Wu, purposely or not, guides you all to use your powers to fight, you use yours to create, to give, to help, to observe and to drown yourself in every sensation that no one else really can - your unique ability to understand every living being,,

♡ The titanium ninja is able to see the beauty that comes with your mastery and you both start learning from each other.

♡ You are in love,,

♡ Zane is quick to notice how your habits resemble ones of a plant and takes great care that you feel okay with the urban life of himself and his brothers <3 the most gentle boy ever,, reminds you of a daisy,,,,,

♡ The ice ninja is surprised to find out that you can survive on water and sunlight for long periods of time. Of course you never refuse to enjoy Zane's five star meals, but when food is scarce, you prefer your 5 liters of water and two hour long sunbaths,,

♡ HE IS VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU DON'T GET COLD,, Zane knows the cold is extremely harmful to you and you're more sensitive to it than his brothers so he gets really worried sometimes and tells you to get a coat in the 30 degrees Celsius summer weather,,,

Morro

♡ Morro sees you as so powerful,,, and very stunning <33

♡ When he first gets redeemed, he is struggling to make contact with the ninja and the butterflies in his stomach whenever he sees you approaching are not helping!!!1!

♡ At first you are very shy around him, because you find him very cool,, one day you come to him and quietly ask if he could use his wind to bring some rain clouds, because of the hot and dry weather and that is your first conversation,,,,,,, you are so shy,, he is in love

♡ You thank him for his help and invite him to spend some time with you outside

♡ PLEASE TIE HIS HAIR UP AND PUT SOME FLOWERS IN IT HE WILL ACT LIKE HE HATES IT, BUT HE IS ACTUALLY IN LOVE WITH IT,,,,,,,

♡ You make these meetings very regular and you enjoy each other's company so much <3

♡ Morro is very surprised to find out that you are aware/can hear what is happening around every compound plant - flowers, trees, etc.

♡ This ablity of yours is mostly very fun to use,, you regularly get a listen to some drama, heartfelt conversations, people complaining about their day and many others. You sometimes can't help it, but burst out laughing on the dinner table, because of a funny conversation that you could hear,,,,,,

♡ Morro loves hearing about them, but mostly loves listening to your laughter <333 He loves it when you are laying close to each other and you tell him about the people that share their love - a man writing a poem for his wife, a boy confessing his love to his crush, an old lonely lady wondering if she'll meet her dead lover in the afterlife,,,, it makes you both very emotional and you love sharing those with him because you both find them beautiful,,,,, it also helps you two to keep your relationship healthy and always know what is actually important <3

♡ Most of the time you are able to tone down almost completely all the noise, but some times it gets unbearable and overstimulating to the point you're breaking down,,, </3

♡ Morro is always there for you, holding you in his arms and keeping you away from any noises you could avoid. There is not much he is able to do to help and it breaks his heart </3 he gets so worried,, he goes to sensei Wu for advice.

♡ When it goes away you would be SPOILED,,,, mans is not letting you out of his sight for atleast the end of the day,,, <33333 HE LOVES YOU AND CARES ABOUT YOU SM !!!

Nya

♡ Water and plants?? Girlfriends.

♡ Nya absolutely adores you,,,,, she is just so in love,,,

♡ You help her understand her element more and she helps you with it so much,,,,,,

♡ You help her study different species and different cures for poison and she is always able to find a new spot for you two to explore

♡ She is absolutely in love when you put red flowers in her hair,, ITS HER FAVORITE COLOR!!!

♡ In her early training she wasn't really able to control much - only moving and creating water and she was so sad every time there was a flood somewhere, seeing your sad face,,, when you notice her looking at the ground guilty you pepper your girlfriend with kisses and reassure her that she has absolutely no fault <33

♡ She is very curious when you experiment with your powers!!!!!

♡ You could clearly see that Nya was needing an extra pair of hands when working on her Samurai X armor and she was very surprised to see 3 faceless girls made from lianas and vines coming up to her

♡ you appeared behind the 3 semi-sentient beings and told her that the 4 of you would help her out so it doesn't take as much time <33

♡ Nya is amazed, but she is mostly surprised that these 'plant copies' of you are able to understand and process information to a certain level,,, HOW!?!?

♡ You end up finishing the work on her armor in an hour and from then on she spends the entire day asking you questions about them!!!!!!! She is very interested in this!!!

♡ You explain to Nya the entire process which took around 4 months to perfect - starting from a little flower, then a tall fig, morphing and changing the forms to make your 'copies' look more soft and human,,, when you quietly mention you wanted to impress her she is RED!! YOU TAUGHT YOURSELF ALL OF THIS FOR HER???? dying on the inside,, system overload,,,,,,,,,,, <333333

Cole

♡ Everyone is jealous of how well you two work together as a team, especially when you fight!!

♡Your elements combine with great harmony so do your personalities <33

♡Cole adores your little forest dates and especially when you two talk about bugs and beetles <33 HE LOVES BEETLES!!!!1!11

♡ Since Cole is kind of the muscle of the team he ends up with little bruises and cuts littered all over his body after every battle and is delightfully surprised to find out that you can not only regenerate super fast, but you can also heal others with your herbs within minutes!!

♡ The way to Cole's heart is through his stomach so its definitely a win-win!! He is absolutely shocked the first time the bruises disappear within minutes and when he figures out you can heal with your food he is absolutely stunned,,, he is very curious and asks about your recipes and if you could help him be as good as you,,,,,,,

♡ You would all be coming home and the first thing to do is stuff your boyfriend's mouth with your lavender biscuits,,,,

♡ Zane may be in charge of the cooking, but you're in charge of the desserts <33

♡ Cole was in tears one time when you made him his mom's broth when he was sad,,,,,,

♡ When you're feeling overwhelmed he tries to recreate your treats with your healing herbs to cheer you up,,,, they are very ugly and lumpy, but they are tasty and made with a lot of love, so you two cuddle and eat sweets all night until you feel better <33

♡ He finds your love for wild animals very adorable,,,, a bear tried to attack the boys, but you just went up and hugged it as if it wasn't just trying to kill you all,,,,,,, YOU STARTED DANCING A WATZ WITH IT AFTERWARDS HOW ARE YOU SO PURE??!1!

Jay

♡ its a weird combination - nature and lightning, but you two make it sound so natural!! <3

♡ Jay is the ray of sunshine to your flower <33 His parents absolutely adore you and you love them a lot too!

♡ He is very impressed by all of your abilities! He is very vocal for his amazement and praises you all the time <33

♡ As a person who got sick every other week as a kid he is very jealous by your immunity to all bacterial, fungal and almost all virus infections. YOU NEVER HAD A SINGLE DAY OFF FROM SCHOOL AS A KID WHAT,,,,,

♡ He is a sucker for fruits and he loves it when you grow him fresh blueberries on the spot,,,,

♡ He sees you eating flowers out of the blue outside and when you tell him they are actually edible he is hesitant, but tries one for you,,, now he can't stop,, HE IS OBSESSED,,

♡ Your powers are somewhat connected to your feelings so it is not rare for you to accidentally grow something when someone gets a reaction out of you,,, JAY LOVES THAT,,,,,,, it shows how you are an actual person with feelings and he finds it so precious,,

♡ When he gets you all flustered, flowers start popping on top of your head,, he really succeeded if you got some blue ones among the others,,,,

♡ Sometimes cactuses pop out of nowhere when you get annoyed or angry

♡ All flowers in the room bloom when you're feeling happy and new ones come to life when you laugh <333

♡ Your power is so beautiful,,, he is ready for marriage,,

♡ Jay is very scared of your semi-sentient carnivorous plants,,, they don't like him very much </3

♡ You can literally make a whole army of those, but you just teach them how to dance<33 you are so pure,,,,

[incubationformadness]

What do you think an accident pregnancy before the revolution would have looked like for Haymitch and Effie?

I think there are two ways it could have gone.

Scenario A:

This is the most realistic scenario - it would have ended in a termination. Effie would be alone - by the time she realised she was pregnant, Haymitch would be back in District 12 - and her lack of intimate friends would make her feel very lost. And I think that she would be spooked by the legal repercussions of having a child with someone district - my headcanon is that such a thing would be technically illegal (particularly considering that Snow would be so suspicious of District 'infiltrators' in the Capitol, after Sejanus), and punishable by a hefty fine. But I also think that prosecutions are quite scanty, because to be prosecuted for such a crime you have to admit it happened (similar logic to how the Gamemakers couldn't directly punish Katniss for shooting an arrow at them, without revealing that she...shot an arrow at them).

Not to say that no such children existence in my fic universe. I do think that there are kids born to District women and Capitol-origin Peacekeepers, either out of rape or clandestine affairs, but their paternal ancestry is never overtly acknowledged and they are considered district. This is loosely based on how, during slavery in the United States, the 'children of the plantation' were still considered the property of their white fathers, and subjected to the same treatment as any other enslaved person.

Children born to a District father and a Capitol mother are a different kettle of fish, however. A Capitol woman could, quite plausibly, have a child with a District man and get away with it - there is no such thing as a standard District phenotype. It has probably happened before, but such children would not have their district heritage acknowledged and be raised as Capitolites. I'm using the colonial principle of partus sequitur ventrem ("that which is born follows the womb") here - that maternal ancestry determines whether or not a child is born free. Nonetheless, there would be a massive amount of social stigma. And I do think that if a Capitol woman confessed to a doctor that she was pregnant by a District man, she would be heavily coerced into an abortion.

Anyway, this leads us on quite nicely to

Scenario B:

Effie could keep the kid - which would be a very interesting scenario, one which I have considered. By the time that she could tell Haymitch that she was ever pregnant, the kid would already be a couple of months old. This would be a massive shock for him. He'd have a lot of complicated feelings about it. I think that had his family and girlfriend never been murdered, he would have gone on to have children of his own, but his fear of endangering other people - not to mention his own sense of self-punishment - have kept him in a state of solitary confinement since their deaths. So finding out that he has a child would be utterly terrifying.

She and Haymitch would agree to never tell the child that Haymitch is their father, for their own safety. And they would stick firm by that decision until after the revolution. This would be a cause of great grief for both of them, but Haymitch in particular. While the idea of his child would definitely be a source of comfort - especially as his kid would never have to fear being reaped for the Games - he would be unable to get to know his own son or daughter, or raise them in the traditions and culture of the Seam. Also, he would carry a great deal of anxiety about his child being corrupted by the Capitol.

And here's the catch - Snow's government would absolutely find out. Everyone in Panem is under some degree of surveillance, but victors especially. The Tribute Centre and trains are bugged to the high heavens. I don't think that the kid would be killed, because they're leverage which Snow could use against both Haymitch and Effie. A fanfic version of Mockingjay in which both Effie and the kid are imprisoned by the Capitol? Hoo boy. Haymitch is a messy character as it is, but he would be going absolutely bonkers yonkers in District 13. He'd be trying to strangle Plutarch.

I won't lie - Scenario B is really interesting, and I might save it for another fic. I can't see hayffie kids happening post-war but the dynamics of a pre-war Capitol/Seam kid has soooo much potential.

[tiny-flickers]

i actually wrote down all my thoughts as i listened to the sounds of nightmares and i thought they would be funny to share so here (instagram followers have already seen this but.)

all under cut bc i’m just gonna post it all at once (brackets are things i added later)

—————

ch 1: the workers in the walls

“patient number 1220… referring to children by numbers…….” is SOOOO CRAZY LMFAOO 😭 they know what they did there

imagine being named “no one” (noone) bro that is crazy. that’s even sadder than “mono” because at least he is SOMEBODY. like ik that’s not her actual name but the fact that that’s what she chose as her alias…

“otto” sounds a bit similar to “mono” idk [no it does not?? idk what i was going on about here]

i wonder if noone’s nightmare of being trapped inside a giant relates at all to the giant baby that’s going to appear in ln3

i wonder if she’s talking about the wax bellman (who was removed from the games but still has a portrait in the maw) when she describes the guy who appears in that room in her nightmare [she wasn’t btw]

the shadow children???? or glitched remains perhaps

the music & audio is very maw-like

gears?? making a song???? the giant is totally some sort of living music box or whatever. & she keeps describing the area as being made of stone and it’s sort of implied in the ln3 trailer that the giant baby turns people into stone so…

noone distinctly smelling this chained up guy and saying that he smells of sausages gone badly is sooo guestcore

perhaps the world of little nightmares is an alternate dimension which one can access through dreams

the lady??? noone describes her as being the keeper of the stone giant and the world beyond the walls

AND describes her face as being equally old and young

or perhaps the “stone giant” IS the maw [it’s not]

“the ceiling was a white clock face, but all the numbers were wrong” time loop reference fr

oh yeah this is a prison

so it’s gotta be the maw or something similar at least (but it doesn’t seem to be a boat so)

ok when the mysterious lady appears and gets noone’s dream friend the lady attack music from the first game plays which definitely makes me think she is the actual lady. and she’s covered in chains because she herself is a prisoner if you think about it (especially considering the six/lady connection)

and noone describes her mouth as having “blackened teeth inside; hungry for something” which further emphasizes the connection

^^“…something that swelled inside me” she wanted her SOUL fr!!!!!

noone saying that she feels like she doesn’t exist sometimes :( probably why she chose the name

also “water sickness”???? silo??? [silo trilogy reference]

she thinks she’s possessed by bugs or whatever and idk if that will connect to ln3 or what [more like parasites but.]

mutual dreaming bro what if that’s what happened with six and mono

see cuz “cece” kinda sounds like “six” too (i mean i’ve already seen theories about this but)

ch 2: a penance at the bathhouse

“the candleman” has GOTTA be the wax guy [except he’s not…. the name really threw me off here]

noone says she likes moths. there are big moths that can be seen in cages in ln2

noone’s nightmare!!! maw reference!!! she saw an ocean and saw a bunch of boats coming out?? “and from their mouths, plump men and women emerged. faces hidden behind wooden masks” ITS THE GUESTSSSS!!!! are all these “fish-like contraptions” part of the maw then?

also she mentions that they’re going to a “lantern-lit market” which might be what we saw in the ln3 trailer???

“a voice whispered ‘hey!’” LN2 REFERENCE

“gazing into its spiral always gave me relief” no man you are going to be hypnotized!!!! hypnotherapy is a bad idea in the little nightmares world!!!!!!!!!!

noone saying that the candleman wants her to open herself to this world and that he’s been with her all along…… i feel like that sort of connects to the wax bellman’s profession LMAO [HELP]

makes sense that these guests would be obsessed with cleansing and purification considering the masks and the fact that they were likely warped by the signal tower

“i was quite happy surrounded by the dark” six energy

ch 3: the theater of the mind

yippee!! [I FORGOT TO DELETE THIS ONE LMAO]

“in the dark, a hand let go of mine” SIX & MONO REFERENCE

noone being trapped in this big shopping mall is kinda giving fnaf security breach tbh

mannequins…. no……… not again….

the projector shaped like a giant eye??? like in the maw??

THEY CALLED HER NO ONE :(( NOOOOO THATS WHAT HER BULLIES CALLED HER NOO

no wonder she chose that name

“this place had been warped by pain” “even the walls began throbbing” definitely related to the signal tower

“don’t take her. not this one, too” ok but what if that’s like. mono or something trying to get someone to stay with him in his nightmare [it’s not but that would be cool]

ok so noone was on tv probably because of her sickness thing but the fact that tvs are such a prominent thing in the ln world also makes it suspicious….

ok so otto’s professor was like what if there’s other realities beyond our perception guys lol [ln multiverse]

ch 4: two of a kind

oh ok so he kinda does believe that noone is traveling to another reality/world at night not only because of her nightmares but because her body keeps disappearing before his eyes….

guys this would be so crazy for my ln/dracula au [LMAOOO]

she’s going into the upside down fr

guys they’re going on a ferris wheel

is this like the carnival place that’s gonna be in ln3

“it’s nowhere” that’s the world the games are set in!!!

not sure if this means that six & the other characters are just dreaming or if noone is just in a world parallel to theirs

perhaps cece is a previous version of the lady

wait he just said “the ferryman” ????? not the candleman?? like the ferryman from little nightmares???!!! the guy who took six to the maw??!?!?!1!?! [guys no way it’s the ferryman from little nightmares]

ok yes i’m thinking now that the nowhere is a parallel universe

ch 5: a deluge of the inevitable

i guess it would make sense that the candleman/ferryman is the guardian between worlds since he’s sort of like. someone who delivers people between places (like six to the maw) plus the two characters do look similar… the ferryman could totally be the candleman but just wearing a mask [i was too fixated on the wax bellman thing]

noone has a tumor???? wtf!!?? :( is this because of the water sickness or whatever

nome???? ITS A NOME!!!!! THERES A NOME IN THE SEWERS!!!!!

“little mushroom fairy” awww

“the first non-hostile being you’ve met that wasn’t another child” oh buddy do i have something to tell you

“you believe this place transformed him?” YES THE SIGNAL TOWER DID IT!!!!

BRO IS GETTING POSSESSED BY THE SIGNAL TOWER LMFAOOOO

ok so otto created this contraption that allows noone’s dreams to be projected onto a screen

but the screen was all blinding and static-y and showed a creepy eye looking at him….

the signal tower’s transmissions are gonna leak into your world bro do you have any idea what you’ve done [it didn’t really but. this would have been an interesting way the story could have gone]

ch 6: the lonely way

she reappeared somewhere that was not her bed?? weird

nawww he’s just using her now

i was wondering why otto was calling the candleman the ferryman but it’s because that’s what cece called him… and that’s what we know him by because of six…

“a doctor’s coat, a pink tutu and shoes, and a yellow raincoat”

THE RAINCOAT BROOO (and ik otto reacted strangely to the fact that it was yellow which is why ppl think cece is six but i’m not sure yet)

“tan trenchcoat” that is SO mono

“a shape in the distance. an outline of a door,” DONT OPEN IT DONT OPEN ITTT!!!!!

“it’s a liquid” it’s the signal tower goop! do not open the door bff!!!!

I KNEW THE DOOR WAS GOIJG TO HAVE AN EYE ON IT GOD DAMN IT DONT OPEN IT!!! THE THJN MAN IS IN THERE!!!

ahh shit the door is creaking open

wait the candleman is behind the door? not the thin man?? maybe this specific door is the bridge between the worlds then (bc noone said it didn’t have a doorknob on it which i’m pretty sure it did in the game)

“where is my sister” wait is cece his sister :00

ohh that’s why noone asked if the picture otto had was of his daughter because she looked so young…. but he just lost her at a really young age

the stairs are going every direction at once?? this HAS to be the signal tower. or some dream-like manifestation of it at least

all the stars noone sees in this place are EYES i KNEW it!!! the facade is crumbling!! it’s the signal tower!!!!!!

the door merging into faces of children… probably the children that were taken to feed the signal tower….

nawww he’s going to start experimenting on another kid now 😭

wait so did the candleman just… take noone away????? I NEED MORE EXPLANATION HELLO??????

wait if it was the lady that was the weird mannequin it would make sense for her to have the raincoat in her chest wouldn’t it because of the pictures in her chambers of (possibly) rcg???

so if rcg IS her daughter then she probably would’ve gotten the raincoat from her

or maybe CECE is rcg….

idk i’m going to have to look up more theories now

[spewing my ‘rcg=flashlight girl and the lady’s daughter’ nonsense]

[felixstudios]

if the managers got magically turned into toons, how do you think theyd react, what kind of toons would they be, and how would they navigate their new bodies (and possibly new lives)?

I'm not Felix, but I hope I can answer this about as well as she can.

DUCK SHUFFLER:

-He becomes a red duck with green legs after a slot machine accident.

-He doesn't find it particularly surprising or alarming and simply rolls with it.

-It wouldn't surprise me if he'd quit his job to officially join the ranks of the Toons.

PRETHINKER:

-Brian either becomes a raccoon, or he becomes some kind of bug Toon not available in-game. He'd be a pale pink.

-He's in complete disbelief about this change and refuses to leave his room for several months. He loses track of time and eventually becomes so bored and lonely that he ventures out.

DERRICK MAN:

-He becomes a bronze colored bear.

-Raine is accused of using magic of some kind, but she seems genuinely confused about what happened. Unable to locate the cause, he's forced to mingle with the Toons as a Toon.

DEEP DIVER:

-If only in-game species are available, she'd likely become a non-domesticated species. If it can be anything, she'd become a fish. She'd be a deep blue color.

-He wouldn't have much commentary about his situation. Additionally, he'd almost exclusively keep to himself.

RAINMAKER:

-The species situation would be the same as Mary, except I could see her either becoming a dog or a fish. She would be light blue.

-She'd be happy to explore the Toon world from the inside and play several Toony games. Most likely, she would resign from her job.

LAND ACQUISITION ARCHITECT:

-He becomes an orange fox.

-At first he's shocked and in complete disbelief, but after a while he learns to cope and fit in with the other Toons.

GATEKEEPER:

-She becomes an alligator. Her color scheme would likely include greys and incredibly desaturated blues.

-She refuses to show herself for a very, very long time out of embarrassment for what has happened to her.

WITCH HUNTER:

-He becomes a dark purple bear.

-A very similar situation to Holly's reaction occurs.

PUBLIC RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE:

-He becomes a light pink cat.

-At first, he hates his new situation. But then, he finds a great sales pitch to use on Toons along with an idea to escape and becomes incredibly grateful he magically changed.

BELLRINGER:

-He becomes a yellow kangaroo.

-He's quite shocked at the turn of events, but he elegantly navigates the situation and keeps a level head. Eventually, he learns how to act like a Toon and blend in.

MULTISLACKER:

-He becomes a cat with a mix of greys and purples.

-Doesn't say or do much about it, but his dad is incredibly horrified and keeps trying to make him into a Cog again.

MOUTHPIECE:

-She becomes a blue dog with yellow ears and yellow legs.

-Although she quits her job and starts cooking with Toon ingredients, nothing really does change about her.

MAJOR PLAYER:

-He becomes an orange and yellow bat.

-He flaunts his new change proudly and uses it as a selling point for more tickets to his shows.

FIRESTARTER:

-He becomes a red kiwi.

-He tries to hide what happened to him out of fear of what COGS, Inc. will think, but eventually the truth comes out.

PLUTOCRAT:

-He becomes an ice blue alligator.

-He attempts to run his operation like nothing has changed, but his Satellite Investors aren't so keen on working with a Toon since it's a risky investment. He's forced to close his pizzeria.

TREEKILLER:

-He becomes a green bear.

-He tries to convince himself he's only having a nightmare, but after his denial is over he's left feeling depressed and empty.

CHAINSAW CONSULTANT:

-He becomes a dark red deer.

-He's still trying to figure out what to do.

FEATHERBEDDER:

-They become a kiwi, and their color scheme is desaturated purples.

-They still sleep a lot and don't really change much.

PACESETTER:

-He becomes a pink and black dog.

-He makes a huge public scene about his transformation and tries to go back to being a Cog, citing his reasoning as him being more beautiful as a Cog.

Midnight Headcannons for Hiveswap/Friendsim Characters (Part 1)

These may be very well liked, or very controversial idk. If you write a fic (unlikely but who knows) based on any of these then PLEASE lmk. Part 1 because some I may feel uninspired + I don't wanna do all of them in one post. Xefros Tritoh: THE BOY HIMSELF.

He is a semi closeted midwest emo (I mean look at him) and a fully closeted stereotypical emo aesthetic enjoyer.

Ever since he started the Grubbels with Dammek, he's actually gotten quite good at singing, and rapping. (this is based on the line that Dammek passive aggressively hinted that Xefros needed vocals practice, and If I were Xefros my insecure ass would start practicing REGULARLY.)

If he were not plagued by constant anxiety he would sleep a lot, and be a very sleepy person (Sloth lusus). Or rather he requires more sleep than the average troll, and when he gets it he's very energetic. Because of his training with Dammek to "sleep anywhere" this would result in him frequently falling alseep while standing if he didn't get his proper sleep.

I want him to kill Trizza with a baseball bat. Off with their heads and hit a home run. Preferably with a baseball bat covered in nails.

He's trans. That one's not from me I've heard it tho and it's cute as hell imo headcannon immediately accepted.

His crush is a tealblood "reporter" (hobbyist photographer and blogger) who wears rollerskates (manic pixie dream boy.) I say this purely because Idk what traits Idarat and Tegiri have over Tagora besides being more masc and having glasses. And they are both not rat men unlike Tagora (/aff). Anyway because of lack of information I say what I want.

Last one because I genuinely feel like this was in the game but I'm not. Certain. Anyway Xefros looks so generic that so long as he isn't wearing his sign it would be genuinely impossible for any drone to find him based on his face. Dammek:

He got most of the parts for the weapon off of trolls craiglist

he will either instantly obliterate Jude's sense of self and self worth and have to work up from there to realize he needs to be nicer or he'll lose his moirail (he already has) or he will be shockingly ok to Jude and just be closed off and he will have to work up to expressing affection normally instead of survivalist training.

he's a little robotics geek he will get his hands on a cell phone and fucking destroy it when he gets to earth./joking to early. He MAY destroy a tv. I think based on his building skills he would be fascinated by earth technology.

the cameras installed in Xefros' hive have lasers. Xefros does not know this.

He gets his fancy normal disks from mallek (I've also heard this from another person- I would credit but I can't find it at the moment) Mallek:

Has 13 piercings. (IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW)

he's either a part of the rebellion already, or will be soon enough

He actually knows a mutant which makes him being "cool with mutants" an even weirder more awkward thing to say

he bullies people on 4chan. The homestuck earth equivalent of 4chan. But still earth. he finds it informative and he likes giving their computers the types of bugs that will make them only play slitherio.

His strife specibus is a serrated curved dagger (snake fang like almost)

He has a snake tattoo on his right thigh.

He intends to get sleeve tattoos, he just hasn't perfected the design yet, or found someone he trusts to do it.

Hey you know that character who we've gotten like 1 concept art of. Yea Jerann him. They're boyfriends. Sorry I don't make the rules but he gets a fish nerd boyfriend.

He keeps oblong meat products in his house in case Diemen ever wants to crash.

He's going to give Xefros a piercing when Xefros becomes an emo boy /hj Joey: (I know she should've come first but she's not one of my favouritesss-)

Joey would lose her shit if she saw the barbie movie or Murdoch Mysteries

On a similar note, she would do barbenheimer for/with jude

She has a slight fear of clowns now (reasonable)

when she gets scared while on alternia, she looks up at the sky, and the stars, and thinks of her mom

I think that Joey and Marsti have an excellent opportunity to get along. A vet is just a doctor for a different species after all, and I'm sure just as Joey would be eager to learn Marsti would be eager to teach and get a bit flattered and someone respecting her aspirations and knowledge. Marsti:

Has the nickname Mars

If Marsti could dress up more she would go for a steampunk streamlined vibe.

In the route where Marsti ditches the player at Gahlek's house, she steals a book on her way out

Marsti survives the train crash floating in her bucket.

Marsti wanted to go to Jeevik week because she liked the challenge cleaning up after it might bring.

[livingthedragonlife]

*throws myself into this chatbox like an ogre bitch slapped by a dragon* 50 (more) ROOK QUESTIONS 4. 9. 15. 39.

you are getting SO TOSSED AROUND IN MY INBOX! HEALING POTION,,,

[the ask game in question]

[my Rook, real name Valonril, also Val, I use all 3 interchangeably]

4. What does Solas think of Rook?

NOT HIGHLY, APPARENTLY.

Bitterness aside, I think Solas admired Rook’s determination to defeat the gods at any cost, but had absolutely no faith that he’d be able to do so. He may be stubborn, but he’s also a child (comparatively speaking), and knows nothing of sacrifice. Rook made a good effort, but now it’s time for the adults to take over. Also I think he was bitter Val snarked at him so much.

By the end, I’m not sure if he realizes how much Val hates his sorry ass, because he brought Mythal and the Inquisitor back to him. Whether or not he realizes that Val only did this because he knew it was his best chance at getting Solas to cooperate, I think he’s grateful for the chance to put his past to rest, and start working on the future with the woman he loves.

Meanwhile, Val is looking at them kiss in that ending cutscene like… is this allowed?

9. A sweet scene between Rook and their LI(s):

Once Valonril finds out Davrin used to sing to the halla, he neverrrrr gives this man a moment’s peace. He’ll affectionately pester Davrin to sing to him while they’re chilling together, whether they’re in the Lighthouse or taking Assan for mushroom hunt. Davrin will huff and puff indignantly every time, but secretly enjoys how easily he can put Rook to sleep with just a few verses of a Dalish lullaby.

15. Who else has a crush on Rook?

That one Venatori guy you can overhear during Unwanted Guests for sure.

Real answer: Val has a type, so he didn’t flirt with anybody else on the team. He did, uh, get around quite a bit when he was in the Veil Jumpers, so one of them seeing him come back a year later leading his own team and saving the world? Yeah. Okay. Perhaps there’s something to that.

Specifically companions tho? He and Bellara are besties and very similar, so she might have had a thing for him. Unfortunately he is very gay so it would never happen, but they still love each other platonically.

39. What’s it been like, living in the Lighthouse?

Rook likes it fine enough, it’s interesting and it’s got a lot of history, but nothing beats living under a forest canopy to him. He misses hearing the sounds of the trees and birds and bugs, he misses the breeze, the smell of earth and grass. It’s how he’s lived his whole life, pretty much, and being confined to a single small room with a big fish tank is quite a culture shock.

Call of Duty OC: Reghan Satrinava-Idrissu

Physical features Questions

ALL CREDITS GO TO @escapetoluna FOR THE QUESTIONS LIST

Note: more Sergeant Satrinava 🤓 I didn’t answer all the questions since some of the info is already in the ‘dossier’ I posted earlier. ♡☆°・

————————————————————————-

What colour is their hair?

Black, but he has natural strands of white

How long is their hair?

In its natural state, it rests at his waist, but if flat ironed, it’s down to her ankles. Yes, she has been asked to cut it, and no, she will not.

Does it cooperate? Is it frizzy? Does it stay in place?

It cooperates for the most part. He doesn’t spend too much styling it (he doesn’t know how).

Reghan is very particular about his hair though and knows what products to use when washing it and as a daily moisturiser.

How do they usually wear their hair?

When on missions, he either has it braided or in a bun. When he’s at home/base, he lets that shit roam free.

Do they play with their hair? What about when they’re upset or nervous?

Reghan is always fiddling with her hair even when she isn’t nervous. That being said, Captain Price knows when she’s getting restless if she’s moving her hair around a lot.

What is their eye colour?

Gold. it is literally the gold equivalent to the blue eyed stare, especially since his skin is much darker in contrast.

Him and Johnny purposely stare at everyone intensely. (Reghan taps out as soon as the person makes eye contact though)

How would you describe what their features look like?

He has surprisingly soft facial features, but nobody notices until they get a proper look at him, but her muscles and height make her seem rougher.

Do they have any piercings?

Reghan has a few ear piercings and has a fake septum ring that he wears some days.

Do they have any tattoos?

Both his arms and legs are COVERED in tattoos. What most people don’t know is that he brings his sibling Basil with him to numb the area getting tattoos because he will cry otherwise.

Left arm:

Stylised version of the welsh dragon swirling onto his chest

Stars

Plants

Bugs

Cultural designs

Abstract designs

Eyes

Planets

Other small designs (everytime you look at his arms, you get the urge to find Waldo…Captain Price actually found him)

Right arm

Similar to left arm

Dandelions

Crows

Fish

Legs

Sword

More cultural designs

Snakes

sun/moon

Ass

Small Moon jellyfish (right asscheek)

Back

not even gonna bother listing all of ‘em.

Do they often paint their nails?

As often as he can since he’s in the military, but he only likes black

Are their hands worn / rough?

His hands are pretty rough and have a few scars from being in the military

Do they pick / bite their fingernails?

Yes, but he tries to tone it down if he’s just gotten his nails done.

Do they pick at their skin or at scabs?

She picks at her skin. She used to pick at her scabs, but Price started spraying her with water every time to break the habit since Reghan would bleed depending on how bad it was.

Are they very tall?

Yes. Reghan is still holding onto that title as the tallest in the army.

She’s very strong as well, more than she is aware. She has playfully pushed someone and sent them flying. Since then he has been extra careful with how he is with his teammates.

Even though she towers over everyone, she’s very cuddly. He usually lays down on top of Soap when they’re cuddling, but only rests the upper half of her body on him so she doesn’t accidentally crush him to death.

[the-nexverse]

Let's entertain the idea that your OCs like to play video games (even the ones that might physically struggle with it), which games do you think are everyone's favorites?

If it absolutely wouldn't be up someone's alley, which game do you think they'd at least give a try, and why?

viddygaem.....

Agnes: graphic action games, the first God of Wars come to mind. strangely enough, i also see her enjoying more ambiguous story games like Shadow of the Colossus or Dark Souls. actually, she'd love the soulsborne genre a lot, and would spend a decent amount of time grinding and getting genuinely good at them. feels proud of her hardcore gamer skills, but isn't elitist/gatekeepy about it and would give people advice on what builds would best fit them and their playstyle if she ever found the right forums to do so

Ryan: king of RTS 4X resource management games for sure. always knows what's going on, where's it going on and how's it going on. and of course, it always goes well for him

Lisabel: graphic and psychological horror games. Mortuary Assistant kinda thing. never gets visibly jumpscared, always has some observations about the technicalities of the IRL medical procedures. body horror is also up her alley, Resident Evil and Silent Hill. and of course, The Sims, either no cheat speedruns minmaxxing everything or discovering new ways to torture sims you could've never thought of. with mods, anything is possible :)

Eric: Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and similar cozy games. something he can sit down and chill with for a while. undisputed fishing minigame master

Léan: FOSSIL FIGHTERS DS!!!!! wacky creature collectors 4everrr!!!!! SPORE!!!!!! HATES the Jurassic World games for the dinosaur inaccuracies

Rask'r: i think he'd go NUTS for VR games! perfect for practising his IRL combat moves. Blade and Sorcery stuff. i think he'd also enjoy stuff like Boneworks. not sure if he'd get dizzy tho. or how he'd fit the headset on his head. oops

Raz: hmmm, not sure. i don't think he'd be a videogame fan, but i see him enjoying Tetris at least. simple to learn, easy to play, a good choice to simply have a short good time. he wouldn't be a pro at it, but he'd moderately enjoy it

Donovan: the Wii fascinates him, and it's good physical pseudo-exercise. oh! and card games. honestly, i see him doing fairly well with MtG Arena and Hearthstone

Lee: you give him a tablet with one of those bug/mouse apps for cats and he slams his hand on it at full force the second something moves onscreen. congratulations, you need a new tablet now

Vreytus: chess. actually, i can see him playing 5D Chess with Multiverse Timetravel. and winning

Bug: oooh this one's hard. hmmm, it's difficult to find something stimulating and entertaining enough for them. maybe something fast-paced, reaction-based... i can't think of any games that fit those descriptions and aren't online competitive FPS games tho. EDIT: HOW DID I FORGET CAR RACING GAMES

Chad: even with his disabled arm, he'd find a viable way to play competitive FPS games. CoD, Counter Strike, PUBG (that one still a thing?), Valorant. knows all the gun names and optimized builds and keeps himself update on his game of choice's meta. he'd even make for a decent esports player! also stuff like L4D2 and Vermintide? idk what that genre is called, but biiig power trip from getting a busted build and mowing down hordes of enemies. hates fortniters and calls them normies alt. Forza Horizon CoD FIFA player. still calls fortniters normies but now it's even funnier

Lewis: cozy game lover, but also VNs including dating sims and puzzle games. i can also see him as a big enjoyer of story-driven games and classic J/RPGs. OH, and Spore of course!!! :DDD

thanks for the ask!! very curious topic for sure 🤔

[panfishonthefly]

The Perfect Fly Rod for Panfish

Hands down, the most frequent question I am asked is what is the ideal rod for chasing panfish. Before I answer that question, we need to consider our quarry. Panfish is a term that covers a broad range of fish, including members of the sunfish family, including crappie, rock bass, and warmouth, as well non-sunfish like white and yellow perch, white bass, yellow bass, Rio Grande Cichlids, and several other smaller freshwater fish. While these fish may be on the small side, they are hard fighters that live in a wide range of habitats and eat a wide variety of flies, from tiny midges to big air-resistant poppers and foam or hair bugs.

The perfect panfish fly rod must perform well on a small farm pond or sprawling reservoirs, as well as tiny creeks and big rivers. It should be able to delicately cast a tiny dry fly, as well as handle a sizeable hard-bodied popper. I should be able to handle streamers and nymphs fished on floating and sinking fly lines. That's a tall order for any fly rod, but the ideal panfish rod must be light enough to allow you to appreciate the fight of these diminutive fish.

While I love the fight of scrappy bluegill on an ultralight two or three-weight fly rod, these rods are often too light to handle some of the larger, less aerodynamic flies I enjoy fishing. Casting double fly rigs, something I do quite often, on these light rods can be difficult, especially in windy conditions. As a result, I have settled on four-weight fly rods as my daily driver, although I still fish lighter rods when conditions are right for it.

A fly rod around seven and a half feet in length is ideal for me. It is long enough to make long casts on open water but compact enough to use on small streams or areas with a lot of overhead cover. While the current trend is to make rods stiffer and faster, I prefer slower, softer rods as they fit my casting style. I also like how mid or full-flex rods allow you to appreciate the fight of these smaller fish. A good bluegill will bend this type of rod down to the cork!

Fiberglass, especially modern S-glass rods, fit this bill perfectly. The only downside to these rods has been their ability to cast some of the larger flies I fish or deal with very windy conditions. I have often wished some of my favorite glass rods had a little more backbone in the butt section to deal with wind, big flies and the occasional big bass grabs a fly intended for panfish,

Building The Perfect Panfish Fly Rod

This past January, while attending the Fly Fishing Show as a featured fly tier in Marlborough, Massachusetts, I struck up a conversation with Jordan Ross, the owner of JP Ross Fly Rods. I was introduced to Jordon by good friend and fellow fly tier Fritz Miller, who owned a few JP Ross fly rods. He knew Jordon had a soft spot for panfish and thought we should meet.

During a slow spell at the show, I wandered over to the JP Ross booth to check out some of their fly rods. While speaking with Jordon, it became clear that we had similar tastes in fly rods. I cast a few of his rods and frankly loved them all, but they were similar to other glass rods I already owned. When I mentioned my desire to have a modern, lightweight, s-glass rod that could handle big flies (as well the occasional bass), cast in windy conditions yet still allow me to appreciate the fight of a smaller fish, his eyes lit up. He had a project he was working on that might solve my problems. He developed a fiberglass fly rod called the Toad. What set this rod apart from other glass four and five-weight glass rods on the market today was the fact that this rod was built with a stiffer butt section but retained a traditional feel in the top three sections. Jordon modified the butt section of this rod to make it more stiff and stronger for applications that need a little more backbone in the butt. While doing so, he kept the ferrule design the same; that means the TOAD butt section is interchangeable with their normal S-Glass fly rods.

Jordon handed me a 7 1/2 foot four weight with a Toad butt section, and I headed back to the casting pond. On my first cast, I could immediately feel the difference. That stiffer butt section allowed me to put as much power as I wanted into the cast, and the fly rod responded perfectly, laying out long, accurate casts as well as handling a short line with ease. I was sold.

We discussed collaborating on a rod project during the show, and I agreed without hesitation. Jordon brought in the incredibly talented artist Jeff Kimball to make the rod something special. Jeff Kimball's artwork appears on several of JP Ross's fly rods, and I was very excited to see what he could come up with regarding a panfish-themed rod. The results are breathtakingly beautiful.

In a few months, I had a JP Ross Panfish On The Fly edition fly rod in my hands. While I wanted to start spreading the word about this collaboration immediately, I wanted to put the rod through its paces first to ensure it performed as well as I thought it would. I have tested the fly rod in various fishing situations this past year and I am thoroughly pleased with the results.

Of course, my main objective was to use the rod for panfish. I used the rod at the start of the season, casting delicate midge patterns to early-season panfish. As the season progressed, the rod passed its second test delivering streamers and multiple wet fly rigs to pre-spawn sunfish and crappies. This past summer, the rod flawlessly handled bulky foam bugs, hair bugs, and popper/dropper rigs. Throughout the season, I fished in various conditions ranging from blustery late winter days to windless, sultry summer evenings. The rod cast flies of all sizes and still allowed me to appreciate the fight of smaller fish. As is usually the case, several larger predators were encountered, including a largemouth bass that topped the scales over five pounds. The stiffer butt section on this fly rod allowed me to handle this big fish with confidence.

In addition to my panfishing endeavors, I brought the rod along with me on several trips around the country. I used it to fish for smallmouth bass and landlocked salmon in Maine. While I typically would not use a four-weight in these situations, I wanted to put the new rod to the test, and it performed wonderfully. The fly rod also traveled with me to the mountain west where it felt at home on the small backcountry streams where I fished. I even put it through what I would call a torture test by fishing it on the Madison River, where it successfully landed several rainbow and brown trout over twenty inches. If you have ever fished a big river like the Madison, you know how strong these big trout can be.

After an entire fishing season, the rod has lost that "new" look. The fine cork grip has been darkened with the slime of hundreds of fish, but the artwork on the reel seat and blank still shines as bright as the first time I took the rod out of the tube. I have caught many species of sunfish, crappie, rock bass, large and smallmouth bass, rainbow, brook, and brown trout, landlocked salmon, and even arctic grayling on this rod over the last few months. It has cast everything from delicate spinners to big poppers, and I am happy to say that the rod has exceeded my expectations. I am ready to share it with the world!

If you are interested in a rod for yourself…

The purchaser can customize JP Ross fly rods in several ways. If the artwork I selected does not resonate with you, let Jordan know, and he can discuss other options with you. In addition to the standard reel seat artwork, you can add custom artwork to the blank, the butt cap of the reel seat, and the rod tube. This customization also applies to the grip. If you do not like the tapered half-wells cork grip I selected, you can customize the grip to your liking.

I want to be brutally honest here. Do you need a custom-built fly rod to enjoy fly fishing for panfish? Absolutely not! The motto of JP Ross Fly Rods is "Simply Fish," and that certainly applies here. I often tell folks to fish the rods that you already own. Don't sweat if it is a little too light or a bit too heavy. Just get out, enjoy the great outdoors, and fish. However, if you have been searching for the perfect panfish fly rod, I have one for you to consider. Check out the JP Ross "Panfish on the Fly" edition TOAD 7'6" 4 weight four pc fly rod. If you decide to pick one up, you will not be disappointed!

Also learning about different religions is cool too! Personally, im a christian (the nice kind who actually loves thy neighbor) but I find the differences and similarities in religions fascinating.

My friends. My best friend is @irenecatz. We met back in like 2022 in December. We have been friends ever since. We got to meet each other irl in the summer of 2024. That was the best day of my life. She means so much to me, and without her I may not even be around anymore.
