Hi, how are you? How is your day? I hope you are having a good day.I read “Overseas” and I was wondering if you could do that for SWORD leaders and mighty warriors. If you have the time.

ᴀʙʀᴏᴀᴅ

Pairing: SWORD leaders x gn!reader (separate), Ice x gn!reader

Summary: SWORD leaders and having a foreign s/o they kept secret until they didn’t

Warnings: swearing

Authors note: Thank you for requesting! I’m glad you enjoyed ‘Overseas’!! I only included Ice for Mighty Warriors as he is the leader, I hope this is okay! This is my first time writing for him and Hyuga too, apologies for any ooc. In future I plan to include MW once I’ve grasped their characters more!

Request: above!

ʜɪɴᴏ 'ᴄᴏʙʀᴀ' ᴊᴜɴᴘᴇɪ

Most of this man’s life is a mystery, Yamato and Nobaru probably got a board of red strings and photos for him

 How he met his s/o is a secret he’ll never tell, but knowing him, it was probably after a fight, probably casually grabbing a drink with dried blood painting his nose and upper lip

 s/o likely cleaned him up on the spot, and he didn’t shoo them away bc a) he has manners believe it or not and b) he thought they were cute and why the hell would he say no?

 He did smile though! Barely but from up close it was clear as day

From then on, he met up with them until they left, but s/o flies over to visit him whenever they can and the rendezvous continue

This guy is a texter, a rare caller. He’s texting them whenever he can, which is suspicious to the others bc he never answers their texts that quick

One time Yamato was in deep shit and Cobra aired him, but the moment they text? Mans like lightning

He leaked his s/o by pure accident and with the help of his friends snooping. His s/o sent him a package once a month of goodies from their country, with a letter and photos included and Sannoh just happened to get their hands on this before he did

Eyeing up the box, Yamato, Dan and Tettsu sheepishly gave each other looks. It wasn’t usual for Cobra to receive any sort of mail, let alone turn up at the diner. But the way the box was coated in cute stickers and little drawings of snakes piqued dire interest among the others. Their cold, mysterious leader, having an admirer?

“Think we should open it?” Tettsu asked, gently shaking the box to hear the rustling coming from inside.

“You’re fucking stupid, are you asking for a death wish?” Yamato hissed, snatching it off him and gently placing back on the back table where the man in question usually sat, “This is Cobra’s business, and we should stay out of it.”

“Or we can watch from afar, he’s here, act natural.” Dan grinned, him and Tettsu scurrying to the table in the centre of the diner, under the bottle chandelier and giggling like schoolgirls. Yamato rolled his eyes and sat at the bar. Cobra strolled in, eyes darting to the box in an almost panicked state. The boys pretended to not notice, but Cobra noticed Yamato taking a not-so-subtle glance his way as he ran his key through the tape.

Opening the cardboard shyly, he was met with a letter addressed to him, his real name, not his alias. Dan, Tettsu and Yamato snuck up behind him, looming over his shoulders for a peak. At that point his secret was out, Junpei gave up on trying to hide it as he rummaged through the tissue paper for the contents of the gift. Photos of s/o’s day trips and travels, one of those amusingly shitty tourist keyrings you find in the cities, handmade items they’d passionately told him about, a polaroid of the two of them they’d taken on their last visit to Japan and more. His favourite this time was the small Cobra figurine, with a note attached saying ‘punched a man for this like you taught me <3’. A smile graced his lips upon reading the letter, the other bewildered, practically hearing Cobra’s heart thump in his chest.

“Damn, not even we get Junpei privileges.” Yamato whistled; eyebrows raised in shock.

“And you never will.” Junpei scoffed, placing all the items back in the box and taking off.

ʀᴏᴄᴋʏ

Definitely met his s/o in his club

They were at the bar, probably fending off some creep when he came over, getting the guy removed and permanently banned

Rocky introduced himself and apologised and their story continued from there

Gives the vibes that s/o just moved to Japan and was getting to know the area when they found Club Heaven

 Teaches Rocky new one-liners in their native language for sure, also telling him about their country in general and all the culture shocks

And he listens to all of it happily, fully intrigued with the way they carry themselves and speak

 Oh this man always lends them his coats, and they playfully wear his glasses bc it makes him smile every single time. He finds when they impersonate him the cutest

White Rascals actually had no idea about them until they burst through the doors one evening, panicking about being late to open the club

“So uh…this a thing now or a new member? Companion?” Koo asked for the group, giving y/n a hesitant look. Rocky only pulled them into his lap, coat still wrapped around their shoulders.

“S’my angel. She’s gonna be stickin’ around now.” He threw their legs over his lap, thumb rubbing their thigh. Koo and the others only nodded, focusing on opening the club and worrying about asking the details later.

Despite running late, the club still held its lively state with flashing lights, crisp sound blaring through the speakers, bar busy, dancefloor packed and Rascals serving the people when needed. At the top of the balcony, the VIP area, Rocky leant back on the red sofa, cigar smoke floating from his lips as his s/o melted into his side, legs over his knee and hand on his chest. Kizzy and Kaito side-eyed each other, still unsure of how the situation came to be and where this person came from to start with. Sure, they’d seen them at the bar, how could they not? But what were their intentions with their leader? They agreed, silently, with a nod to each other that Koo would be the one to ask since he’d already opened that can of worms.

ᴍᴜʀᴀʏᴀᴍᴀ ʏᴏsʜɪᴋɪ

OH BOY this interaction did not go smoothly

In fact, Yoshiki most likely either made the most awkward meeting or the most embarrassing one

He’s still cute tho, and his s/o thought so from the start

His shower packed up and the plumber wouldn’t come until the morning, but he really stank and so what does this kid do?

Go next door to his new and incredibly gorgeous neighbour who just moved from overseas

Man is fumbling when they let him in, he can’t believe he’s folding so fast

And somehow, in broken English (because it’s the only other language he knows from middle school), this awkward encounter gets him their digits

And dates, and a label. And amongst all this time passing, not once did he remember to tell his friends at Oya

His stomach dropped at the knocking on his door, eyes frantically looking for Seki and Furuya’s. Both men, looking back at him like deer in headlights, motioning him to answer. Murayama stood up nodding, making his way to the front door, mind screaming at him for forgetting to say something sooner, they were going to freak out like usual.

Opening the door slowly, he peered back before looking at y/n’s bright smile.

“Hey ‘Shiki! You busy?” they chirped, Seki and Furuya’s heads snapping around towards the entrance way.

“Uh, yeah. My friends are over right now, but I’m free tonight.” Was all he could muster up with such a dry throat. Saying goodbye he closed the door again, shaking his head as he took his walk of doom back to the living room and flopping back onto the couch. The silence killed him, so he kept his head thrown back and eyes closed, counting down from five. Four. Three. Two. One.

Furuya and Seki yelled, confusion and banterous hurt in their tones.

sᴍᴏᴋᴇʏ

Pure accidental meeting but he was so sweet

 s/o probably took a wrong turn and ended up lost in Nameless City, devastated by what they were seeing

Until they bumped into Smokey, expressing their sympathy as well as the situation

Smokey did help them tho, showing them the way to where they were actually intending to go but s/o claimed they’d remember the route to see him again

They sent letters back and forth since that day, and s/o would fly over to help out the people when they could

Definitely wanted to tell Rude Boys but was hesitant about their reaction and never got around to it

Until s/o visits the base asking for Smokey and the boys stand there, guard up asking why someone looking so out of place wants their Smokey

Drawing back one of the ragged fabrics used as a curtain, y/n poked their head through first before shuffling into the base completely. They kept their footsteps quiet, not wanting to disturb the boys who were gathered in the middle. Yet Smokey was nowhere to be seen. Nerves bundled in their stomach, they’d never properly met the boys before, only seen them on patrol.

“Excuse me,” they called, all their heads snapping around to face them, “Christ- is Smokey around?”

Takeshi stood up and approached her slowly, the rest watching ready for any kind or cue, “He’s not here right now, can I help you though?” Their shoulders relaxed, letting out a breath as they gave him a small smile. Takeshi lowered his guard in return, glancing behind him for the others to do the same.

“Ah, I’m y/n, Smokey told me to come visit him here. That’s all he said.”

“Sounds like Smokey, vague but to the point.” Takeshi chuckled. As if on cue, Smokey’s figure trudged in, a smile gracing his lips upon seeing y/n. He pulled them into his side and placed a kiss to their head, watching the boys’ faces scrunch up or eyebrows raise.

“Boys, meet y/n, my s/o. Y/n, mee the Rude Boys.” Was all he mumbled out before slipping his hand into y/n’s and leading her to their meeting circle.

P scratched his neck, “Okay, why didn’t you say anything before, Smokey?”

“Forgot.”

ʜʏᴜɢᴀ ɴᴏʀɪʜɪsᴀ

This man fully lost to them in Poker at a Daruma festival

But was he mad about it? Not really, he was more impressed at their wits over anything else. No one dared gamble against Hyuga

So when s/o placed their winning cards down, smirking at his face, mans had to know them better

Probably made them his companion for the night, asking them if they’d come back to see him and of course they said yes

They kept this little thing between them for a while actually, until Hyuga wanted them around often, feeling a lack of excitement without them

And that’s how his s/o met Daruma properly: beating them at Poker

“Hyuga, I dunno where you found this person, but this is just embarrassing for Daruma.” Ukyo groaned, accepting his defeat and dropping his cards.

“You guys are just really bad at this, I thought you had experience?” y/n mocked, watching another member stare at their cards intensely. Hyuga’s arm remained wrapped around y/n’s waist, firmly keeping them on his lap while they played.

“No, you’re cheating!” Sakyo hissed, pointing a finger at them. Y/n shrugged, taking their turn and hearing another guy wail.

“Bold statement to make about Norihisa’s s/o, don’t you think?”

“You’re a monster!” Sakyo watched another Daruma lackey lose, y/n taking the chips for themselves.

ɪᴄᴇ

This guy is a festival attendee and a chronic one at that

So, he met his s/o at one of those when chasing them around the world

Gives me the vibes that his personality with music and destroying SWORD are complete opposites so when s/o bumped into him in the crowd, he happily vibed with them

Ended up eating together and finding out they were also festival chasing and decided that they’d attend as many as they could together, talking in between until eventually calling themselves a couple

Ice didn’t tell y/n about Might Warriors until later, he wanted to surprise them with a club they could properly find refuge in

 He also didn’t tell MW about s/o, bc it never came up mainly

Ice I’ll come find you y/n How will you do that? Ice Baby I can spot you in any crowd

With strobe lights flashing, bodies dancing in all directions and music so loud the floor vibrated, y/n’s head was in no other place but bliss. Ice’s pride and joy surged through their veins as they relished in his dream.

Their thoughts were pulled back to earth as the familiar sound of a beat Ice had shown them months prior blared through the speakers, swaying their hips shamelessly to the rhythm. Large hands caressed their hips, pulling them into a firm chest and hot breath making the hairs on their neck stand on end.

“Told you I could spot you in any crowd.” Ice mumbled and they felt his smirk through his words. Spinning around to face him, y/n’s arms wrapped around his neck.

“Never doubted that,” they smiled, eyes flickering between his and his lips, “I’m gonna be expecting VIP access.”

“You had it by default, baby.” He laughed, capturing them into a sweet kiss.

“Hate to ruin the moment, but who the fuck is this?” A voice yelled over the music, breaking the two apart.

“Jesse! This is my s/o, y/n! They're kinda one of us but also not.” Ice replied. Y/n didn’t care whether they were a Mighty Warrior or not, they were Ice’s and that’s all they needed. Jesse’s glare softened and morphed into a nod of approval before slipping through the crowd to the VIP lounge.

"Oh, you're gonna lose that bet."

You look at Giselle, taking in her unamused face under the weird half-lighting in the corner of the library. She has one side of her over-ear headphones slid off, her phone open in her hand to her messages.

"How d'you figure?"

She raises a brow. "What exactly did Yeri bet you?"

Yeri snitched about the bet. Of course she did.

"That I couldn't seduce one of the guys who always use that study room by the time the library closes." You point across the library floor, to the row of doors along one wall.

"Yeah. At about 12 midnight, you're gonna owe her..."

"A week of meals," you supply helpfully.

Giselle sighs.

"You're doubting my game?" you ask.

"No, I just know-"

"You should be on my side about this, what the hell?"

"Have you ever spoken to any of them?"

The guys who use that study room are a bunch of loud, beautiful performing-arts types. Their hair changes color on the regular, but it's always shitty, like they exclusively do it at home in the bathroom. Usually, you can hear them clear through the walls, but since this floor is almost always empty (hence why you yourself study here), they don't get in trouble. They also seem to know the tall bespectacled student staff who runs the front desk, so you suppose that helps.

"No," you say.

"Then why do you think you'd suddenly be able to pull one?" she asks.

You're resolute. "Don't doubt my game!"

"I'm pretty sure at least two of them are dating each other," Giselle says.

"That's not my fault."

The side-eye is strong. "Sure. But don't blame me when you're starving to death because all of your meal swipes are going to Yeri."

Giselle snaps her headphones back on, and ignores you like she'd been doing all evening.

You have two hours to seduce one of the guys.

Might as well start.

You're thinking maybe the mop-haired one who always wears the Warriors jersey. He's cute, and he's got something desperate about him. Like maybe just the attention would be enough to seal the deal. And if not him, there's the skinny jeans guy who's always hanging around Mark and Jaehyun from the graduate music department.

But when you get to the study room and peer in the tiny window, there's only one guy inside.

It's one of them. But it's the most enigmatic one.

A generic, soft, handsome face, unassuming in a big sweatshirt. You remember seeing him in a tank top earlier in the fall, though, before it got cold, and you know he's got some shoulders and arms under that heavy fabric. You'd watched him for just a little bit too long, that day.

He's not the one you were going to pick, but he might just be the one you secretly wanted most.

You're just kind of staring, and after a moment, he looks up. Suddenly, as if you'd thrown something at him. He furrows a thick brow.

Sheepish, you point, asking wordlessly if you can come in. He nods, still a picture of confusion.

"Hi," you say, as you close the thick wooden door behind you.

These rooms aren't quite soundproof, but they are meant to at least partially muffle the noise from group projects and stuff.

"What's wrong?" he asks.

It's an odd question.

"Nothing," you say. "Um. I just wanted to...say hi."

He tilts his head to one side curiously, kind of puppylike. "Why today?"

You're thoroughly caught off-guard. "I'm sorry?"

"I see you here every day. Why today?"

"Less embarrassing when you're alone," you say, and though that is not the reason, it is true.

He nods once, firm. "Okay."

"What's your name?" you ask.

"Jaemin."

Jaemin is exceptionally off-putting. Usually, you have game. You weren't lying to Giselle about that. But this dude...you already don't understand him at all.

You tell him your name, too, and he just nods.

He's off-putting, but you might as well get started. You've met college guys before. Usually, the bare minimum of concerted attention is enough to catch their interest. They're easy like that, always desperate for some ass. You smile.

"You're really handsome, Jaemin."

He nods again. "I know."

Most of his attention is still on the textbook open in front of him.

"You know," you repeat.

"Yeah. I own a mirror."

He should be infuriating, what with the things he's saying, but he's speaking so matter-of-factly. Not arrogant, just assured. Rather than making you want to leave, his bizarre manner is making you want to pull up a seat.

"Do you mind?" you ask, gesturing to one of the seats across from him.

Another nod. "Doesn't look like you have anything to study, though."

"That's okay," you say. "What's that?"

"Book."

"Obviously. For what?"

"Pre-med."

He's pre-med. Of course he is.

"Cool."

Slowly, so slowly, Jaemin closes the book. He looks across the table at you, gaze even. "What do you actually want?"

He doesn't even seem annoyed, but still, you wilt. "Do you want me to be honest?"

"Sure."

"My friend bet me that I couldn't seduce-"

"Seduce?" he interrupts. "That was you seducing?"

Jaemin smiles. It's incredibly charming, flawless teeth and matching eyesmile, the kind of big childish smile that changes his whole face.

You shrug, helpless. "I mean, kinda."

"No offense, but were you even trying?"

It's hard not to be offended. You scoff. You stand up again, and take a few steps backward toward the door.

"I was trying," you say.

"That's worse, then."

He stands up too. He's taller than he looks seated and slouching. He tilts his head again, looking at you curiously. You could probably duck out right now and then just hope that he never talks to you again, but then he asks you the most ridiculous question.

"Do you want me to show you what it's supposed to be like?"

Your stomach drops. "What?"

Jaemin's smile is so bright and empty, but he has terrifyingly intelligent eyes. Like he's putting on a show, and he knows that it's working.

"Do you need me to show you how to seduce someone?" he asks.

"I...I mean..."

"It's an offer," he says lightly. "You can say no."

You'd be fucking insane to say no.

"Sure. Yeah."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." You swallow your nerves. "How do you seduce someone, then?"

His smile drops into a pout. "Easy. Someone just has to want you."

Jaemin has his hands in his jeans pockets as he wanders around the big wooden table toward you. He's slouching again, shapeless in terrycloth, but suddenly, visions of his bare arms fill your mind. He stops short just in front of you, making you look upward to meet his eyes. His tongue pokes out between his teeth, daring.

"I think it's already working," he comments.

He leans down a little, forcing you to bend backward to keep a respectable distance between the two of you.

"Do you want me?" he asks.

Skilled, measured, his gaze drops from your face, down your chest, down and down, and snaps back up to your face. You can tell this is formulaic for him, that he really is just showing you the method to his charisma. But you can't help how it's making you feel.

The bloom of butterflies in your stomach from the close attention, the buzzing under your skin as he checks you out so openly. He's gorgeous. He smells pretty. And he's so close to you.

"You can tell the truth," he adds.

You realize you're still bending your spine awkwardly, so you duck away from him, seeking refuge against the table edge, behind his turned back.

He laughs, full and a little shrill. "Come on, now."

The table is solid against the back of your legs as you catch your breath. Jaemin does turn around, though, and he laughs again at whatever expression he finds on your face.

"Oh, you want me," he says.

"I didn't say that," you answer.

Jaemin's smile twists, just a little, taking on an edge of the cold intelligence in his eyes. "Then tell me you don't."

He gets closer, again.

He walks right up to you. Nearly chest to chest. One of his hands is gentle on your side, a little bit of persuasion, until you're sitting on the tabletop. It makes you a good head shorter than him, perched as you are. Jaemin nudges in to stand between your spread knees.

He's not touching anywhere he shouldn't be, not saying anything. He's just looking at you.

It's good that he's not touching you, and good that you're wearing pants today, too, because you can feel yourself fucking throbbing at his careless attention.

"Tell me you don't want me," Jaemin repeats.

He's playing chicken with you, now, as he leans in close again. His eyes are so brown. The ends of his hair are absolutely fried.

His face is inches from yours when you break.

"I want you."

That tongue pokes back out between his teeth. He's way too pleased. "I knew it."

It occurs to you, then, that as much as he accused you of not doing anything to seduce him, he didn't have to do a goddamn thing to seduce you.

You shiver.

"Tell me," Jaemin says. "What were you going to do with me, once you seduced me?"

"I mean..." You blink at him. "I mean...I just...nothing, I guess."

"Hm."

He taps you on the tip of your nose with one pointer finger. It's fond in a way that sends the butterflies into a frenzy.

"Then that's what I'll do with you," he decides.

Like a switch flipping, Jaemin's smile turns bright and sunny again. He pivots on the spot, and goes to open the door again. He gestures you out.

Dumbfounded, you obey, weak legs taking you right out into the library again.

"Try again next time," he tells you, cheerful.

The door shuts.

Giselle is never going to let you live that down.

[sapphic-agent]

i love your team avatar rewrite! can you talk more about kids?

You don't know how happy this makes me🥹 I'll break it down like they're OCs (even though the only technical OCs here are Tyro, Suma, and Lian).

(Link to the original Gaang post: https://www.tumblr.com/sapphic-agent/747738712838995968/rewriting-the-gaang-in-lok?source=share)

Kya (major changes to canon):

She/Her

Earthbender (Lavabender)

Firstborn child of Katara and Haru

Green eyes, brown hair; resembles Katara the most

Temper like Katara, but lacks her caring and nurturing nature. Blunt and to the point like Haru. Can come off as rude, but that's not her intention. Her mouth got her in constant trouble as a child. Loved probending as a child and looked up to Toph

Probender (later Manager of the Probending Arena)

Lesbian

*Notes: I like canon Kya just fine. But similarly to Katara, I feel like LOK really just didn't bother to do much with her. She's mainly there to give Tenzin a reality check and reaffirm that Aang was a shitty father. So I really just built her up mainly from scratch. You can resonate her with canon Kya or think of her as a completely different character. Katara was always going to name her first daughter Kya, so to me it makes no difference. Also, I made her a lavabender instead of a metalbender to match her temper*

Tyro:

He/Him

Nonbender (Chi-blocker)

Firstborn and only son of Katara and Haru (middle child)

Blue eyes, brown hair; looks a lot like Sokka

Calm demeanor like Haru, but empathetic and softhearted like Katara. The most sensitive of his siblings, but also the nicest. Learned Chi-blocking from the Kyoshi Warriors after visiting Kyoshi Island for the summer. Very interested in law and politics from watching his mom

Attorney, President of Republic City

Sexuality undetermined, closest guess is pansexual

*Notes: Tyro loves his sapphic aunts (Mai and Ty Lee). I like to think of him as that friend that's always there for you, even when they're going through hell (but not parentified like Katara). Why did I make him president? I don't know*

Suma:

She/They (I know I wrote daughter, but she doesn't mind being referred to as daughter or sister by her family)

Waterbender (Healer)

Youngest child of Katara and Haru

Blue eyes, brown hair; looks like Haru (same complexion as his mother)

Finds it hard to understand emotion, doesn't pay attention (spaces out when people are talking, can't focus on classes that don't interest her in school, etc.). Comes off cold, even to her family. Most assume they don't care about anything. It was a shock when she chose to become a Healer, but her patients usually love her

Healer at the Republic City Hospital, Head Healer at the Republic City Hospital

Aromantic

*Notes: Suma is probably way closer to canon Kya than my Kya is. But they're also a lot less emotionally invested in people than Kya. They're definitely on the spectrum in case you couldn't tell*

Lin Beifong (basically the same as canon):

She/Her

Earthbender (Metalbender)

Firstborn child of Aang and Toph

Green eyes, black hair; resembles Toph

Grouchy, tough, and a hardass like Toph, but has a strong sense of fairness like Aang. Bosses her siblings around. Butts heads constantly with Suyin because of this. Studied under her Aunt Suki to become an officer

Republic City Police Officer , Republic City Chief of Police

Bisexual

*Notes: As you can see, I didn't change much about Lin. The biggest thing is probably that she didn't become a police officer to impress Toph, she did it because of her own sense of justice. I love that for her*

Tenzin Beifong (basically the same as canon):

He/Him

Firstborn son and second born child of Aang and Toph

Airbender

Gray eyes, black hair; resembles Aang

Tries to be calm, but has a short fuse. Feels like he has to live up to being the only Airbending child of the Avatar. Can be distant with his family because of this, especially Aang. Finds it hard to connect with his siblings

United Republic of Nations Councilman

*Notes: Tenzin is way more of a black sheep here than the golden child in canon. Him and Aang having a hard relationship because of the expectations placed on him is one thing I'm very proud of. I think he feels like he has to be this perfect son and feels like he can't approach Aang about it. And Toph is a less than understanding person, so he can't really talk to her either. His biggest regret is never opening up to his father before he died. So he suffers in silence (lmao)*

Suyin Beifong (basically the same as canon):

She/Her

Third child of Aang and Toph

Earthbender (Metalbender)

Brown hair, green eyes; resembles both Toph and Aang (has the complexion of Toph's father)

Free-spirited and fun-loving like Aang, but extremely stubborn and hates rules like Toph. Very clever and innovative, a troublemaker as a kid. Clashes with Lin heavily due to her issues with authority and competes with her. Leaves Republic City (of her own volition) to travel the world and creates Zaofu and the Metal Clan

Leader/Founder of Zaofu, Head of the Metal Clan

Demisexual

*Notes: I'll be honest, I love Su and think she's over hated in canon. Maybe it's because I see a lot of myself in being the youngest child and having a bossy and condescending older sister. But anyway, her backstory is one of my favorites in the show, so that's why I didn't feel the need to change it too much. Also, her choosing to travel the world similar to how the Air Nomads did is a nice touch with Aang being her father. Although, a fight with Toph might have been what made her leave, I'm not sure. Demi because I can't see her loving anyone she doesn't share a deep, personal connection to like Bataar*

Bumi Beifong (slight changes to canon)

He/Him

Youngest child of Aang and Toph

Nonbender

Gray eyes, black hair; resembles both Toph and Aang

Extremely intelligent ("mad genius"), but absolutely can't take anything seriously. Prankster, the bane of Lin and Tenzin's existences. Looks up to Aang and is very close with Su, drives Toph crazy. Very interested in combat, war, and strategy

Soldier in the Second Division of the United Forces, Commander in the Second Division of the United Forces

Gay

*Notes: Nothing you guys say or do will ever convince me that Bumi isn't a man kisser*

Lian:

She/Her

Only child of Sokka and Suki

Waterbender (+Chi-blocker)

Blue eyes, auburn hair; looks like Suki but has Sokka's complexion

Playful personality, loves bad and corny jokes. Easygoing for the most part, but knows when to get serious. Trains with the Kyoshi Warriors like Tyro does

Firefighter, Chief of the Southern Water Tribe

Pansexual

*Notes: I love Lian a lot. It's so weird that Sokka of all characters didn't have kids. Out of everyone, I would think it would be Toph. So I obviously gave him one with Suki. I don't think I said so in the Gaang post, but yes she's a Waterbender. Also, why are both her and Tyro pan? The Kyoshi Island affect, it's something in the water*

Izumi (basically the same as canon):

She/Her

Only child of Zuko and Jin

Suspected Firebender, unconfirmed

Amber eyes, brown hair; mostly resembles Jin

A calm, rational person. Loves history. Painfully non-violent because of that history. Her heart is to the Fire Nation and repairing the damage her country has done. She also has a deep love for Ba Sing Se because that's where her mother is from. Some might call her reserved before they get to know her, to her friends she's one of the nicest people ever

No one knows if she's actually a Firebender or not, she's never confirmed or denied it even to her closest friends. Doesn't feel the need to. Looks at it like a political strategy; no one can say she's favoring benders or nonbenders. She is a master swordswoman, though

Archeologist, Historian, Fire Lord

*Notes: I decided not to choose if Izumi's a bender or nonbender. I like the theory that she keeps is secret in canon as a political move. I don't know if they kept it vague in canon on purpose, but I like it that way. I kind of based her off Nico Robin from One Piece*

That's pretty much it for the Gaang Kids! I'm pretty proud of how everyone came out. Hope this satisfied you!

[I keep using Twi.light Prin.cess Gan...I guess because the situation and everything is giving me his overall vibe...even though I'm still not sure what he would look like at this point. And it's not like I could art any ideas anyway but.

To give some loose background on what I'm cooking for a potential story for him in this crossover AU, here's a messy post under the cut because it's a lil long:

So basically, Ganondorf survived the destruction of Hyrule (which, as I think most people here know, I made its own planet for ease of crossover shenanigans). Before that, at around the time he would have been trying to snag the Triforce, Frieza's forces come across Hyrule and the Gerudo and, since they're a formidable warrior race with a bit of A Problem, Frieza offers them a deal: he (read: his soldiers) teach Ganondorf and the Gerudo how to harness ki to deal with Hyrule being shitty to them and take it over in exchange for basically swearing fealty to him. It would be a situation like the Saiyans are in sort of save for the fact that the Gerudo stay planetside instead of going out and conquering: the Gerudo rule the planet in Frieza's stead, but it and everything and everyone on it belong to him. He also tacks on taking Nabooru as part of this deal which is how she ends up on the Frieza Force with The OG Squad.

With ki at their disposal, the Gerudo are easily able to deal with Hyrule and take over, thus ending their problems with their neighbors hating them and, basically, wishing they would just die out. Over the years, Ganondorf and the Gerudo have everything they need and then some. They're no longer forced to resort to thievery to survive. Hyrule is theirs...or mostly theirs.

But, of course, that doesn't sit well with Ganondorf. From the moment he cemented the deal with Frieza, the Gerudo king knew he would try to overthrow him. It was inevitable; no one rules him and he was not satisfied serving another. Hyrule should belong to him and his people, no one else.

This dissatisfaction and ambition drove him to continue his search for the Triforce, a far easier task when no one could stand up to him and his armies. Soon enough, he is successful in invading the Sacred Realm. The lack of balance in his heart transforms the Sacred Realm into a land of darkness and chaos and, much to his chagrin, the Triforce shatters when he touches it. Only the Triforce of Power remains in his possession.

Eventually, through his soldiers who are likely stationed on the planet, Frieza catches wind of the Triforce stuff (and probably either surmises Ganondorf is trying to use it against him OR outright finds out that's the case because…well it is) and that pisses him off so, despite their deal and Nabooru holding up her end of the bargain and Ganondorf not really doing anything treacherous yet, Frieza destroys the planet.

Thanks to the Triforce of Power (as well as probably a combination of his own, innate abilities in ki and magic as well as potentially the Demise connection if I decide to play with that or perhaps using the Sacred Realm somehow to pop in and then gets spat back out, Ganondorf survives the destruction of the planet and ends up on a new one. (I also really want to play with my idea of the planet's destruction causing the Sacred Realm to "leak" into the universe with like…native creatures on different planets evolving into amalgamations of half Hyrule monsters but that's a WIP idea).

As far as what he's been up to, he's certainly made this planet his own. Took it over by force if need be, filled it with monsters, and has been seething over the destruction of his planet and people. Trying to find a way off the planet. Plotting to somehow figure out what happened to the other pieces of the Triforce so he can bring his planet and people back. Find a way back to the Sacred Realm to find answers. Anything but wasting away on some strange, wild planet basically alone (I kind of want to go with the idea that the planet he finds himself on is "uninhabited" and maybe hostile; kind of like Vampa in that regard. Be a good parallel to freeing himself from the trap of the desert only to find himself back in a similar situation again...only this time, it's completely alone). The man is angry and wants nothing more than to revive his people and find out who destroyed them in the first place so he can take revenge.]

tw// grooming i dont go there anymore but finding out how tigerheartstar fans are harassing ppl for pointing out how he groomed dovewing is so hilariously pathetic because it reminds me of how this one person vagued me in response to my tigerdove is grooming post and kept using the craziest possible ways to excuse it. "tigerheart was immature for his age because he grew up during a fucked up period of ShadowClan so its okay that he was dating dovepaw because they had the same maturity levels as each other!" this is going to sound crazy but an adult going after a young teenager is going to be inherently grooming no matter how "immature" the adult is. an immature adult is still going to hold more life experiences than a child and that'll put them in a significantly higher position of power every time no matter how you look at it. its the same vein of how groomers will use "you're mature for your age!" to excuse going after younger kids. due to this him mistreating dovewing isnt an example of "relationships having their ups and downs" but rather an adult preying on a teenager to pressure/manipulate them into doing what they want. (you cant even call this an oots thing, he still does that in their relationship. she has little to no autonomy outside of tigerheart since he pressured her into coming back to the clans LOL). "well the cat years to human years calculator dont show them as having as much of an age gap! (yes this really happened)" this is going to sound crazy but the cat to human years arent going to represent the cats on a 1:1 scale. we know how old these characters are based off of how theyre written and what the story presents them as. like how kits are typically meant to represent young children, apprentices are typically supposed to be teenagers going through middle/highschool. though i wouldnt entirely call this a strong source, kate cary had (or still has) a thing called blogclan and you can apply to be put on the allegiances. what rank you get is determined by what age/grade youre in and if i remember correctly apprentices are middle and highschool aged. i feel like this should be considered a bit of proof that the writers view apprentices as teenagers and write them as such. (its also important to note that apprentices are consistently written as being immature). tldr: fuck your cat year calculators apprentices are teenagers and warriors are adults. he went after her when she was newly apprenticed leaving her the equivalent of 13 years old AT BEST.

now does this mean i think people who like tigerheart support grooming? absolutely not. coming from someone who likes crowfeather (who is also a shitty person in canon) who you like doesnt determine your viewpoints. its the way you go about them does. acknowledge that theyre terrible people and get used to the fact that people will not like them because of it LOL.

Not a RG person (or any kind of shipper really), but I don’t entirely gel with your earlier post on Ruby and Oscar, more specifically the latter. Because the way I read the story’s themes, it seems to me that much of their shared theme is being drowned out by the legacy of those who came before them.

Ruby, through the constant comparisons to her mother, her lineage as a Silver Eyed Warrior, and effectively being Ozpin’s successor as the leader of those against him despite not really wanting the role (even though she stepped up as admirably as she could).

Oscar however is literally at risk of being drowned out, just being subsumed by the Ozma collective and becoming nothing more than another face with Ozma’s traumas and failure to change. He’s not proving himself his own man; he’s struggling to preserve what little of himself is left in the face of an unwilling mental parasite, all while constantly battling the fears of both himself and Ozma.

To me, it seems more likely that what might happen at the end is that Ruby and Oscar end up leaving on a journey together once they’ve been freed of their respective obligations; Ruby can finally be a normal huntress saving people without bearing the weight of the world, while Oscar can finally find his own identity and have an adventure without the risk of losing his personality. Their goals would align pretty decently on that regard.

I get the gist of your point, but I think we disagree on a few key things.

The most pressing one is Oscar's situation. While he is definitely at risk of being consumed by Oz in universe, I don't think that that's where the story is pointing to at all. Nothing we've seen from Oscar's character development so far leads me to believe he's sinking into his fear at being consumed. Every time he's been given the choice to be like Oz, he's gone against it.

In volume 6, when he knows about information that Oz is keeping hidden, he fights against Oz's possession and tells the group. In volume 7 after Ironwood goes off the deep end, he chooses to trust that Ironwood can be reasoned with when Oz would have just given up. After being tortured by Hazel he chooses to trust him and Emerald, something Ozpin was incapable of doing. He's the one teaching Oz that Oz can change. With every volume his convictions grow stronger and his sense of right and wrong solidifies.

It's true that he's struggled with the idea of where he ends and Ozpin begins, but I don't believe for a second that what we're seeing play out is Oscar losing his identity. And like I said in my previous post, it's because he knows all of Ozpin's fuck ups that he's able to see Oz for who he is and grow to be better. If he were truly at risk of becoming just another Ozma, then I would think him completely redundant as a character.

He is absolutely not drowning in Ozpin's legacy.

I also don't really like the phrasing of Ruby being Ozpin's successor. He was her mentor, sure, a shitty one at that, but I don't think he's been much of a leader of anything for a long, long time. Now, he certainly used her mother's leadership abilities to his advantage, and when he saw the same potential in Ruby he used her too. But I can't accept the idea of him passing down a mantle to her. Not to hate on the guy, I do like his character an awful lot, but that man did nothing to help her grow into leadership except one speech that only helped to catalyze her depressive spiral lmao.

But that's more of a personal gripe that an argument against your point. I think the main problem we have is that you've read the themes differently from me. Despite how depressing the show can get, it's a lot more hopeful than people give it credit for sometimes. And specifically for this post, than what Oscar stans give it credit for.

They often read his fate as something a lot more cynical and tragic than it actually is imo, and try to find a lot of similarities to Ruby in order to ramp up the angst. And there's nothing really wrong with that, I'm no stranger to making my faves suffer more than they realistically would, but I just don't think Oscar is in that much danger. I think the narrative is pointing a very clear and direct line towards Ozpin disappearing from his mind and the cycle of reincarnation ending. Oscar's arc has been about finding out who he is, but that isn't just an endpoint goal, it's something that's already happening.

But if you don't believe that, if you think that he's still actively being corrupted by Oz, then I think you'd come to the conclusions that you have in this ask, and you'd see more parallels to Ruby's spiral. And that's just not what I see.

Isaborou x Gintoki (tormenting Oboro with varying levels of awareness)

With how closely Isaborou and Oboro work it's inevitable they had to have hate sex at one point (credit to @averagelonelypotato for this genius headcanon)

This doesn't do anything for their working relationship in fact they seem to hate each other more after each interaction

After the Baragaki arc however their hate-fuck sessions, few as they are, dwindled even further

Oboro didn't really notice or care until after one session where mindlessly looked over Isaborou's shoulder to see who he was texting and realized it WAS GINTOKI (credit to @averagelonelypotato as well lmao)

Needless to say it was a long, long time before their next hate-fuck

After that, Gintoki basically became Isaborou's secret weapon for getting out of any future interactions/meetings with Oboro

If Isaborou thought a meeting with Oboro present was lasting too long? Brings up how he just bought Gintoki some lingerie for special occasions wink wink

If Oboro showed up as backup for a large battle unexpectedly? Brings up how he thinks Gintoki's abilities with a "sword" are really sexy

If Oboro accidentally bumps into Isaborou in the hallway because they're going to the same place? Starts playing his recordings of Gintoki's moans

Oboro feels like this is the closest he's reached to a living death even with Utsuro/Shoyou's blood

It all comes to a head when Isaborou and Oboro are forced to have a meeting after a really hard week in Isaborou's home (neutral zone) and they're both getting on each other's nerves

And then someone knocks on the door

Isaborou and Oboro lock eyes as Gintoki's annoying voice drawls through the door

In less than a second Isaborou's leapt out of his seat and shoved Oboro into a side closet just as Gintoki opens the door

Oboro's just staring at the closed closet door in disbelief, then his hand starts creeping towards his hidden needles

Gintoki obliviously sits in Isaborou's lap and starts complaining about his shitty day and Isaborou just hums non-commitedly as he wraps one hand around Gintoki's child-bearing hips and frantically texts Nobume with one hand behind his back

"nobume-chan >:((( did you forget i'm having a meeting with Obo-chan right now??? why did you let Gin-chan come in???"

"did you forget I was in the house the last time you fucked Oboro senpai at 4 am in the next room???"

"nobume-chan plz"

"daughter <3 <3 <3 has her notifications silenced"

Though his face doesn't change Isaborou desperately fights back tears, especially as he sees the closet door open slightly, needles gleaming in the light of his elite lightbulbs

Biting back a swear, Isaborou shoves Gintoki down under his desk and points his gun towards the closet door, disguising the sound of the safety clicking off by strategically slamming his knee into the side of the table

The movements of the needles freeze as Gintoki starts screeching under the table, none-too-pleased by the sudden turn of events

"Gin-chan" Isaborou coos, effectively drowning out Oboro's overpowering bloodlust with his own and successfully capturing the attention of both silver-haired warriors with the sickly sweet tone

"You're not the only one who's had a rough day. So I suggest you stop being an entitled brat and figure out how to make it up to me before I start choose to end our peaceful relations right here and now."

Oboro knows he's not just talking to Gintoki and reluctantly lowers his weapons to sulk in the closet. Isaborou is too valuable of an ally to lose at this time, even though it drives him insane to know just how easy it would be to kill the samurai right now

Isaborou relaxes minutely and switches the safety back on as a loud whimper comes out from underneath the desk

He looks down to see Gintoki has dropped into sub-space at the sudden tone, looking up at him with a mixture of confusion and fear

Isaborou softens, placing his gun in one of the many hidden compartments in his desk and pulling the samurai back onto his lap

"I'm sorry pet, that tone was uncalled for. I didn't mean it darling, Daddy was just in a terrible mood."

Oboro shudders in disgust in the closet and covers his ears

Gintoki's still deep in sub-drop on Isaborou's lap, confused and hesitant to touch the older man

Isaborou clicks his tongue, causing Gintoki to flinch before Isaborou leans forward to kiss him deeply

Gintoki gasps into his mouth before quickly accepting the tongue invading his mouth, letting it explore as he moans loudly in the room

Oboro has retreated to the other corner of the closet, covering his ears

Isaborou continues lazily exploring Gintoki's mouth, only taking breaks to tease and apologize breathily into his ears, causing Gintoki to mewl helplessly against him

Once Gintoki has gone pliant beneath him, Isaborou murmurs against his ear:

"You're always such a good boy for me~ Why don't I make both our days better, and fuck my thanks into you pet?"

Gintoki moans helplessly, hearts in his eyes as he whimpers out a "yes please Daddy~"

Thus starts Oboro's seven hours in hell

With the exception of the closet, no space in the office was spared from these two animals

The floors, windows, desk, and yes even the closet door were repeatedly used for the insane mating that went on between the two pervert samurai

Oboro had curled into the fetal position at the other end of the room, fruitlessly covering his nose and mouth against the smell of hardcore sex seeping under the door

Nobume had smartly left the house shortly after switching off her notifications, another L for Oboro as his texts for help on his rarely-used phone were promptly ignored

Only after the sun had set and rose once more did the two samurai finally call it quits, Isaborou carrying Gintoki out of the room to wash him off in the bathroom and leaving a flippant remark that the maid will come in eventually to clean up the mess, anything in the room can handle itself for the moment

After he was sure no one would be returning to the room, Oboro crawled out of the closet fighting back tears, before accidentally touching something on the ground and jumping to his feet

He considered using one of Isaborou's guns to off himself or at least momentarily erase the memories, before seeing how Isaborou's desk was covered in more mosaics than an art exhibit and skedaddling out of there

Needless to say Oboro never set foot into Isaborou's house again and Gintoki gladly accepted the random extra sugar baby money that came with Isaborou's usual monthly deposits (wink wink) with glee, no thoughts in his empty, sugar-addicted, horny brain

I feel like most E/riel’s are all bark. They keep talking about how Gwynriel’s are misogynistic, when we say we don’t ship E/riel or that we call Elain boring for liking gardening and baking, and for being feminine. But I’ve seen very few Gwynriel’s say gardening and baking is boring. If anything, I’d E/riel’s are the ones behaving like that. They make fanart of Elain in Illyrian leathers, wielding a sword and dagger while she’s covered in blood. Say that she’s a spy and if she saw Azriel beat someone she’d think it’s hot, even though that doesn’t fit canon Elain. Because canon Elain hates violence. Which there’s nothing wrong with. I’ve actually seen a lot of Gwynriel’s praise Elain for being feminine and say they want her to stay that way and not become a sword-wielding-warrior.

It’s funny how they bash Gwynriel’s for the baby thing (since Gwyn has pliant bones and I don’t like it either) but then they accuse Gwyn, a survivor of assault, for luring Azriel to the training ring and library and giving away the necklace, but Azriel, who is a grown man, consciously made that decision. It kinda feels like victim blaming almost. Why is it always Gwyn that’s blamed for that situation? And in his bonus chapter they point out how Azriel “found himself at the library” and how “glowing” shows her evil lightsinger abilities, but in the beginning of the chapter with Elain, he notes that her hair is “glowing like dawn” and “he found himself in the room” (I can’t remember the exact words). It honestly feels like cherry picking to fit their ship. The hypocrisy. It is possible that Gwyn is a lightsinger. But do I think she’s a villain/evil? No. It would be stupid for many reasons I can name, but if Gwyn is a lightsinger then it honestly makes her even more of an equal to Azriel than she already is.

And happy birthday!🎂🥳❤️

oh they definitely are. to be fair, i have seen some people dismiss elain and her hobbies as silly or boring or not important but i haven't actually seen that for a bit. not saying it doesn't still happen but i feel like a lot of people that did say things like that, grew up and realized how shitty their takes were lol

but e/riels call out that then turn around and do the exact same thing to gwyn. actually, they say worse things. they're absolutely horrid to her, and gwynriels, simply because they're scared. i mostly laugh at it these days but my god they can be vile

e/riels version of elain sucks. full stop. i don't mind sjm writing warriors or anything, i love them! but elain, at least so far and what we know of her, isn't like her sisters. she has always been the odd one out, despite her past closeness to nesta and how they both left feyre out of things. feyre and nesta have been described as two sides of the same coin and it's so true, then we have elain who is... well elain. she's an archeron, but she's not quite like her sisters, and i love that about her. i can relate to this, i want to explore her character, not whatever e/riels have made up

i don't like the baby argument either and i rarely see gwynriels discuss it. i think it's been years since i've seen anything about it in a fan argument. i think e/riels bring it up more than we do and then they cry and point the finger at us. like i didn't do anything! i don't care about that!! i have plenty of other canon instances of why i think my ships will happen!!! leave me out of your weirdness (not you anon, i'm speaking hypothetically to e/riels lol)

it definitely is victim blaming. gwyn was assaulted in a horrible manner, why would she ever lure anyone and more importantly, why would sjm ever write her to be luring anyone? taking away their choice much like hers was? whether it's on purpose or not, it's still a gross thing to write, and i don't believe sjm would do that for one second. it's clear she loves gwyn, she's not going to be some secret villain, but of course since she and lucien are threats they're both the big secret baddies!1!!1! 🙄 they're literally so transparent idk why they act any differently. like say it with your chest!! stop hiding behind the fake concern and shit mean girl attitudes

az went there of his own accord. the only reason sjm used that wording was to allude to something else, something deeper between them. like he was drawn to where she is because of a mating bond. if there's any magic at work, it's that!!! we've seen this multiple times from sjm, where two characters are drawn to one another "for whatever reason", she's telling us to pay attention. hell, she did this same thing recently in hofas! the lady loves her mates. end of story

and finally, thank you for the birthday wishes!!! 🥰💖 i'm so sorry it's been almost a week since you sent this. i've been a bit busy and i like to try and collect my thoughts before i reply. i appreciate it so much and thank you for sending this ask <3

[irawhiti]

thank you for taking the time to write out the tā moko post. it was very helpful and informative as someone who doesn’t know about the practice at all and felt a little overwhelmed about where i should start to learn about it. I know it might seem dumb but i was genuinely confused why a person with tā moko making a character wouldn’t want that option. but now it makes sense because i get they’re unique with special meaning to each person, it’s not the same when a video game makes a mockery with a shitty cookie cutter version. so thank you i know you must have to explain it a lot but it was a very helpful post for me and i didn’t want to take that for granted!

no worries! everyone has to start learning somewhere and it's completely understandable if you don't know the ins and outs of a closed culture practice that you're not a part of lol. as long as you're willing to listen and learn and you're respectful about it then you're all good, i'm glad i could help you understand

i do have to explain this kind of thing fairly frequently, you're right lol. it's fine though, i choose to explain it since i mean... while there's a lot of people asking in bad faith and weaponising us against other people (e.g. the whole "well what if māori WANT these in the game? did you ever ask them? why are you against representation?" every time someone points out appropriation, even if the person they're talking to is literally māori 🙃 ask me how i know) it is worth helping people understand when they're genuinely just unaware of why this sort of thing isn't appreciated. unfortunately it's extremely common for facial moko to be used in rpg-adjacent games like baldur's gate and, consciously or not, it's often rooted in racist stereotypes about us being war-hungry, predatory, barbaric, giant, scary tribal warriors.

at best, people add "tribal face tattoos" to their games because they think they look intimidating and badass. at worst, we get the maormer: a race of very large, seafaring, warmongering fish elves with "intimidating tattoos" and a habit of going to war with their colonisers (This Is Bad In Canon and they always lose) while carving wooden totems in a far off exotic tropical continent, lead by an evil godking wizard who rides sea serpents in the elder scrolls series. there's obviously a huge difference in egregiousness there, don't get me wrong lol, but neither option (nor anything between) has anything even close to representation in mind

my art timeline :-)

hi! i’m making this because i was inspired by maxpawb’s post i saw on toyhouse , which then led me to look at all my own art that is still somehow intact in my storage. this only details stuff from when i started posting online, not from when i started drawing traditionally as a wee lad. partially because my sketchbooks are lost and partially because i never really wrote down dates on my art to begin with.

a lot of dates are lost, due to the aforementioned problem of me not writing things down.. and also i have awful dissociative memory problems so there’s way too many gaps in my life. but i really did want to do this to see how much i could find & how much i could recollect.

content warning for VERY brief mentions of grooming, as well as minor mentions of real shitty friends

everything is under the cut! there might be another rb if or when i hit the image limit. curse you, tumblr.

date: ??? , i had to be around like. 11 at the time

this was when i joined warriors amino and i deleted my account because i got in trouble for having social media, LMAO. i eventually came back with a new one though. this is probably one of the only surviving art pieces from when i was THIS YOUNG, everything’s on an ipad that’s so broken it won’t even charge

i learned how to use the smudge tool on ibispaint at this time and thought i was the coolest bitch on the block for my blending

may 2019, i was like 12

my return to amino (and brief period on deviantart, which i never used again lmao) i was specifically on wings of fire amino + warriors amino. i was obsessed with airbrush shading.

this is one of my first fursonas which was a wings of fire fanflight called kitsunewings or smth. and also my first species character (he predated the dragon), a bayfox, which was drawn in krita. i never used krita again after this. coincidentally, i was also never active in bayfoxes after submitting him.

i crawled back to ibispaint no matter how many new free programs i tried.. (also tried firealpaca once. i couldn’t even figure out how to draw a line…)

may 2019, 12

the rise of my longest lasting fursona. she got stolen on a shitty app called anime maker once. i can’t remember if she’s older than the dragon, andromeda, but her older iterations definitelt are. this character was just the FIRST first fursona that i actually called that, since i didn’t even really know what a furry was at first

june 2019, 12

my first commission that i sold for like 30 deviantart points (i only used the site for commission purposes, as mentioned before i never really used it lmao)

also i tried to make a closed species on wings of fire amino. second image. it was terribly stressful ; this was around the time i met my longest lasting group of friends (hi freak bin! 5 years <3) and.. some of the worst people i’ve ever met in my life at the same time, LMAOOO

also here’s this kokichi ouma dog i made before i even knew what danganronpa was. i would find out much later, unfortunately

march 2020, still 12 (cause of my august birthday 😒)

there’s a really big gap in my files here. sad! my art kicks into gear at this point tbh, i like how i did the lines. wish i had the energy for such clean lineart still :-(

i think around this time i lost contact with the people who were my groomers (which i would realize later) and i’m thankful that i don’t even remember what their names are.

april 2020 - july 2020, 12

okay these aren’t awful actually. HOW WAS MY ART SO DETAILED. i admire baby frets power, jesus christ

i also did a design raffle when i hit 500 amino followers which is still the most i’ve ever gotten as a following. pretty crazy, i wonder who owns this dude now, i still think they’re cute

august 2020, 13

wow i’m 13 now look at that. i had to go digging for this one, only one i could find that was remotely close to my birthday (it’s the 25th!) this was a drawing for my friend bea lol

was still friends with some pretty shitty people from wings of fire amino, and it was really taking a toll on me. i don’t remember drawing as often as i used to during that time because of all of that.

december 2020, 13

i wish i could still draw backgrounds.. i need more practice

january 2021, 13

okay honestly these are really cute. i don’t know wtf kind of motivation i had for this much detail. the shading is pretty damn good

april 2021, 13

still going strong with the shading and backgrounds. not much to say around this time either lol. the first one is an older design of mine, but they’re pretty damn cute.. i wonder what happens to the desgins i lose track of? but ik this guy has a toyhouse profile i just refuse to look through my like. 200 pages of character designs on there…

july 2021, 13

PUDDLE! PUDDLE OH HOW I MISS YOU. my original favorite oc, i got so much art of him & drew him so much he reached 100 pieces in less than a month. i also met my best friend through this dude.

my art got.. blocky? here? idk what i was doing with all of that but it lasts for a while. lol

october 2021, 14

one year older and i got neo twewy for my birthday and it changed my life permanently. in several ways. anyhow, here’s frindoka furries.. they live in my files forever and will never b drawn again because they got redesigned several more times LOLLLLL

this is the month after i broke off permanently from my shitty old friends, with support of some other friends of mine. thank you guys… i did proceed to get harassed and made paranoid over my text messages by the shitty friends cause they were mad i got one of them banned from a furry adopts server for being literally dangerous. i do know it was them bc it was admitted to & they were some of the only people i gave my phone number to. i was kind of dumb for that

i was happy after my birthday because 13 was one of the worst years of my life. literal constant spirals and breakdowns because this is when i realize i was, in fact, groomed. i’m well and handling it better now.

january 2022, 14

my first d&d character, the mark of my eventual spiral into heath insanity… shadow how i miss you. i ended up redesigning them later on

march 2022, 14

i got into a pokemon arpg around this time and it took over my life for MONTHSSSS. kind of a shitty community in it though, but i appreciate how it improved my artwork. i’m back at the backgrounds! it’s shut down indefinitely now. rip eeveemporium

Incredibly Specific Scenarios™️ Coming out to find their car blocked in by other parked cars.

Toad's back at it again at Krispy Kreme. I've chosen to interpret this as "parallel parked and the person both behind and ahead of them are on their bumpers."

Time - It starts off as general annoyance. He stands there, looks around for a minute to see if anyone appears to be the owner of the offending vehicles. Of course, this is in vain. Then he's getting into his car, trying to eek it back and forth in the space without hitting anyone or the curb. As soon as he taps the first car, his temper is going to flare badly. He's going to sit there in a huff for a minute or two getting more and more annoyed until he just starts rolling forward and back, forward and back, tapping both cars repeatedly until he can get out of the space somewhat unscathed. The urge to get out of the car and physically lift one of the other vehicles is strong in him, though.

Twilight - Well, shit. Ain't that just his luck. Twi is so polite that he's likely going to rock back and forth in the parking spot trying diligently not to hit anyone, but with his big ol' rusted farm truck there's no way he's not going to put a scratch in either the luxury sedan parked in front of him or the minivan parked behind. This country boy is going to leave an apology note and his phone number as though he's the one to blame. He'll never hear from the other driver.

Wild - He doesn't even remember parking his car here the other night, let alone how long ago he parked it here in the first place. Did he park up on that other guy's ass that close? When Wild gets into the car he'll realize that he's out of gas anyway, so he's likely going to figure out public transit for the day and forget all about his car come the evening.

Champion - He's the type to grab the bumper of the car in front of him and try to lift it at least partially out of the way. In peak condition, he'd probably be able to. And he's going to leave that fucking car half on the curb as he goes on his merry way.

Warriors - Oh. Oh. Are you kidding me??? Wars is going to pace around, squawking on the sidewalk and pointing at the situation, waiting to see if any neighbors peek curiously out their windows at him and come out to own up to the situation. When no one does, he's going to take some photos of the situation demonstrating just how close both of these assholes parked to him, and then go back inside and pester Sky in to driving him wherever he wants to go anyway.

Sky - This boy doesn't parallel park his car, ever. Crimson is his mid-80s sleeper car that's in pristine condition and is kept in storage in an unnamed location in Castle Town. Not for any serious or nefarious reasons, mind you, but because he would simply rather die than let any of the guys know where he keeps his baby. He visits her at least twice weekly to wax and pamper her. If anyone blocks in his garage, he's calmly calling to have them towed.

Legend - Well well, if it isn't someone's lucky fuckin day. Legend has zero regard for the condition of his own shitty little beater car, let alone anyone else's. He's getting out of that pickle Philly-style. Did you know that there's a lot of "play" in the brakes of most cars? To the tune of maybe a foot, in some cases. Such that Legend will pull forward into the car in front of him until hit hits the one in front of them, then backward to the same effect, and so on and so on, maaaany more times than is strictly necessary for him to get out of his parking spot.

Hyrule - Please, if you will, imagine a dead-eyed Hyrule at 6:00 in the morning getting into his car, blocked in on the street, and just. Laying on the horn. Long and loud. Just sipping his coffee and waking up the entire fucking block until someone comes and pounds on his window to ask him What the fuck, sir!!? and he can roll it down and calmly ask, "Is this your car? Do you know who it belongs to? I need to get to work."

Four - Is already doing the mental trigonometry of how many rounds of forward-and-reverse it's going to take to get his vehicle out of there. He's going to eek that thing back and forth with precision until he can get out, so help him Hylia, even if it takes him all fucking afternoon.

Wind - He's cursing, he's spitting mad, he's keying that asshole's door and taking a photo of their license plate to doxx them later. Nevermind the fact that he was probably the one to park unnecessarily close to them in the first place. He gets so mad that he decides it's not even worth the errand he was going to run, so he heads back inside to do whatever it is this little gremlin does.

Dark - Bold of you to assume he can park.

Shadow - Hope you weren't fond of those tires, asshole. Shadow will only slash 3 out of 4 of them, though, because if any less than 4 tires are flat you can't make an insurance claim on it.

I want to know about the SB ass kicking angst fest lol, please?

Oh Bear, you've stumbled on something for sure. 😂 This does have spoilers for the start of FFXIV's second expac, Stormblood. It also goes to some dark places (violence, mature topics specifically to do with pregnancy), so please be aware of that before clicking the read more!

SB ass kicking angst fest is a longfic about Aureia's first encounter with Zenos and its immediate aftermath. At the start of Stormblood, venturing into another war with Garlemald is the last thing she wants--the more distance she has from her home country, the better, but the time has come for her to face down her past.

Zenos is someone she knows very well on account of him being the crown prince. When she was in Garlemald's military, he greenlit her special ops group for service. She has fought him one-on-one before, she knows how he fights; he knows how she fights intimately as she left an impression on him all those years ago. The obsession with her started many years back, and though she's a different person now and uses a different name, he knows who she is immediately from how she fights.

And he kicks her ass (hence the placeholder name asdfasd).

Facing Zenos sparks a lot of anger and rage in Aureia; he represents something to her that she wants gone. She wants her past killed and silenced. And by getting her ass kicked, she gets the idea in her head that the only way to do that is to kill him herself. End things personally. She is in a very uncontrolled state when she fights him, and it's to her disadvantage as she can no longer think clearly or strategically and this is not a foe she can defeat when she's blinded by emotion, even if those emotions make her stronger.

It takes a long time for her to recover from her injuries. No one really has time to attend to her after her immediate wounds are seen to, so she's left spiralling with her thoughts and digging the hole deeper and deeper. The one person she probably needs right now is Aymeric, but he's in Ishgard and occupied with his duties. He makes sure that she is okay over a linkpearl, but he is inevitably pulled away to something else. It's not unusual for the Warrior of Light to get injured, so while he is concerned, he knows that she's in good hands and that she will be okay.

So, Aureia's mental state is very fragile and she is feeling very lost, very hurt, abandoned and very angry when she discovers that she had a miscarriage. The miscarriage has nothing to do with the fight, it's a natural occurrence without any outside factors, but it's hard for her not to combine the two in her head.

At this point in her journey, she doesn't want kids. It wasn't even on the table. It never has been. She had never seen herself as someone with a family, or deserving of a family--in her mind, she's done terrible things, she has so much to make up for, someone like her isn't deserving of a good family. Her own parents turned her into a weapon for the Garlean military and when she thinks about it, she is constantly worried that she will inevitably end up passing on some shitty behaviour to her future child if she has one. She's a very broken person and she's not ready for this kind of thing.

But family is a bit of a rough topic between her and Aymeric. He's under social and political pressure because of his station, it would be easier for everyone involved if he and Aureia were married. And he also wants a family. They're divided on this topic and have agreed not to discuss it while the war is ongoing.

So she's left sitting there, with knowledge she doesn't know how to process, grieving something she didn't want. She cracks one day while in her sick bed and tells Thancred, swearing him to silence. Once it's out, she buries it deep and forces herself to forget.

And she never tells Aymeric what happened (this is perhaps the first of many signs that their relationship is going to fail).

i think it’s the fact that he can go so many directions that makes it hard for me to write him argh i want to write him soooo bad. AND STOP free his haircut let him live only he can pull it off 😣

if you write for kaiser pls do something twisted i would be SO invested you don’t understand. and omg let me hear about that nagi plot pls pls

i def feel that HAHA i think in every fandom people will interpret characters in their own ways but some characters (ex rin, shidou, barou) tend to have pretty standard fandom characterizations from fic to fic (now whether i AGREE with these standard characterizations is a separate thing but at least they are consistent) and others can be completely diff depending on who the author is. i think kaiser (and to a lesser extent nagi and sae) is subject to the latter where everyone sees him in a slightly diff way so it’s hard to nail down which version of him YOU want to write yk.

AHHH i feel like kaiser is a really good character to write darker stuff for so i do think that if i wrote for him it would be a heavier story than what i’ve been putting out recently. and we shall ignore the haircut…tbh rooting for a kainess breakup because long hair kaiser/man bun kaiser is so MAJESTIC i think ness gives him the shitty haircut on purpose so he can gatekeep

nagi plot under the cut!! heheh it’s pretty convoluted and also atm just a bunch of rough notes on my ipad…i would have to try writing the first chapter a couple of times to see if it even flowed the way i wanted it to and to make the according adjustments if it was something w potential so even if i do ever end up writing this particular story the finished product might be very different than this!! that said i am in fact sharing the entire outline so i fear you will not be very surprised by any plot twists if i ever work on this or post it

basically it’s a mix of a couple of fics for other fandoms that i never got around to writing + some newer ideas that i have had!! the main cast of characters is ofc y/n and nagi but also rin is there!! and sae and reo but they’re secondary to the main trio

it starts off in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monsters and which has a loose oligarchy-type government. y/n is the bastard child of duke l/n, who is the head of one of the influential government families. when she’s youngish (twelve or so??) her mother dies and officials attempt to arrest her for identity fraud when she claims that she must be sent to the l/n estate as they are her only surviving family. she manages to escape and learns how to use some weapon (either a sword or a spear idk atm) to kill monsters as she has a strong desire to protect those less fortunate than her, as well as to prove herself and one day find her father so she can have a family again.

on the other hand nagi is the eternal warrior (there would be a more researched title for him but atm this is my placeholder) whose original self was there 1000 years ago when the apocalypse began and was the only one able to fight back against the monsters when they appeared. he has been reincarnating (though WITHOUT his memories LMAOAO he’s not ancient i prommy he just looks the same/has the same name in every lifetime) and once people viewed him as a defender of the people, but a while ago the mikages (another one if the influential families) took custody of him and he’s basically been their enforcer for the past 100 years so people kinda hate him. he is kind of jaded and lonely after witnessing/causing so many deaths and he doesn’t see much of a point to life besides following whatever orders reo/the mikages give him and killing who he’s told to.

at some point nagi is told to kill y/n (it’s revealed eventually that it’s because duke l/n realized she’s out there and called in a favor w the mikages but we don’t know that at first) but instead of killing her he ends up saving her life. even he can’t explain why he took the initiative to disobey orders for the first time so he decides he’ll stick with her for the time being until he can figure it out (plus going back to the mikages isn’t really an option considering he’s gone against them)

while y/n + nagi are on the run, they meet rin, who is VERY confused about a lot of things. the itoshis are basically the family above all of the other families, and he’s supposed to be their heir, plus he has memories of having a great childhood with his parents and older brother, but for some reason he finds himself on the street with nothing but a note in his fist that says “don’t trust father and sae”. nagi and y/n decide that rin’s goals of trying to reclaim his position as heir and figure out the meaning of the note (which is in his own handwriting though he doesn’t remember it) align with theirs of finding duke l/n and. just chilling ig?? idk nagi is kinda there at that point HAHA. anyways so they all decide they’ll work together.

a bunch of stuff happens blah blah this entire part will come to me when i’m actually writing LMAOOO. anyways then it’s revealed that before getting thrown out, rin realized that if he ever got to close to asking questions/getting curious about the apocalypse, he’d suddenly forget what he was doing (in an unnatural way not just him being dumb), so he began writing down notes to himself to keep track of his suspicions. however he is found out and his notes are burned before he’s cast out and his memories selectively erased, though he managed to save the note telling him not to trust his family so that he didn’t end up falling into the same pattern again.

rin reveals that sae has the power to alter memories, and that he suspects the itoshis (plus the other influential families) also have some knowledge of how the apocalypse began and how it can be ended/the monsters gotten rid of for good. y/n reaches duke l/n but he rejects her and says he wishes he sent nagi after her sooner, and that he also regrets sending them any money at all because things would’ve been better if she would’ve died as a kid. nagi manages to round up the members of the influential families (#boyboss 😜) and sae has a change of heart from seeing rin again after so long; he says that there is a way that they can stop the apocalypse from ever happening, but that means that the influential families lose the power they obtained after the fall of the world, so they’ve been hiding it from everyone since they discovered it.

every generation, an itoshi is born with the power to wipe memories and send one person back in time. with that power, they could conceivably return to the beginning of the apocalypse and prevent it from ever happening. sae is the one with that power in the present and he decides that having wealth/whatever isn’t worth the destruction of the world, so he agrees to send back y/n, as he believes she has the best chance at managing to set things right.

y/n travels back in time and meets the first version of nagi, who ends up falling in love with her. unfortunately even before the apocalypse things were kinda unsettled as everyone realized Something was going to happened, and eventually a world war breaks out, which og nagi and y/n get involved in. y/n is fatally wounded at one point, but before she dies she manages to tell og nagi everything about the future and how he has to stop the box containing the beginning of the apocalypse from being opened. sadly og nagi invented being down bad and he is so distraught by her death that he opens the box and curses himself to the cycle of reincarnation so that he can meet her in the future.

y/n wakes up back in the future unsuccessful and also shocked that the one who started the apocalypse was nagi (even though current nagi has no clue about any of this). sae is furious that she wasted his power and didn’t actually accomplish anything, but at some point rin realizes he also has that power?? not the memory part he just can also send her back to the past…not sure why this is the case but it’ll come to me as i’m writing and hopefully not feel like an asspull DHSKSJSJ. anyways even though she’s lowkey traumatized y/n agrees to try one more time.

og nagi falls in love with her again ofc (we’re three for three here if you all are keeping track) but before the world war can break out, y/n kills nagi. he is understandably shocked but instead of being angry at her he tells her she must’ve had a reason and dies decently happy considering he was murdered for something he hadn’t even done yet 😭 because nobody else has the knowledge of where the box is besides y/n, the apocalypse is averted, and the world war is concluded in a relatively typical way instead of supernaturally, so life goes on as best as it can.

however, y/n is then stranded in that timeline of 1000 years ago, without anyone she knows (as og nagi is obviously dead and the others aren’t born yet). she can’t return to a future which doesn’t exist so she’s just stuck there for the rest of her life.

the epilogue is a series of letters she writes to nagi and rin, detailing her life and how she misses them. the last letter is addressed to nagi, wherein she explains that death is coming for her soon and she hopes that wherever she ends up next is the same place that he is. it’s kinda unclear whether she’s talking to og nagi or her nagi from the no-longer-future but you know me and my open endings 🤩 leaving it up to reader interpretation is my fav thing and i will do so at the slightest provocation

roisin. roisin please elaborate on bramblestar’s corpse

hiii!

so, i never did finish that arc (I read 3 or 4 books of it and then stopped caring about the releases) and it's been a few years so! might be missing a bit of important info but!

you remember ashfur? squirrelflights ex that tried to kill her children before they were revealed to be leafpools?

ashfur dies (murdered by hollyleaf) and goes to star clan (questionable considering other cats have gone to the dark forest for far lesser crimes and also? squirrelflight and leafpool almost got sent to the dark forest in a shitty trial and done much less than he has?)

bramblestar gets sick (possibly caused by ashfur somehow?)

while losing one of his lives due to the sickness, ashfur somehow possesses him. the mechanics of this were probably explained better later, but I don't know them.

no one knows it's ashfur

he basically starts like. really going down hard with the warrior code, punishing cats for like. nothing. and he ends up banishing like 3/4s of the clan at least.

(this includes squirrelflight and jayfeather and pretty much everyone importanr I think. btw)

he also encourages everyone else to do the same, which ends up really resonating with riverclan.

mistystar kicks out a few cats, including mothwing because she doesn't believe in starclan (even though mothwing has been there for her and saved lives. how many times now? lmao)

anyway all the cats banished sort of form their own group

squirrelflight comes up with a plan like "ok he (still thinking its bramblestar) will regret this if he sees that I'm injured. i'll blame it on a dog or something and come crawling back so I can spy on them or something. mothwing, beat me up" (mothwing does not beat her up bc she says her job is to heal. jayfeather, however, happily volunteers for the role lmao.)

the plan works i think lmao

while this is happening, bramblestars spirit is just kind of. floating around being like wtf.

anyway he finds rootpaw (one of the three main characters of the arc) an apprentice in skyclan

he can see ghosts or whatever because his dad is tree, a former loner who was part of the sisters until they kicked him out for being male. he can also see ghosts (i cant remember if he can also see bramblestar)

that! is about as far as my knowledge goes. i don't actually know how they solve any of this bc i didn't get that far. i do know, however, that everyone knows he's actually ashfur at this point bc squirrelflight realized it and blurted it out at a gathering.

(that was a cliffhanger though so. who knows if they actually believe her lmao)

[emperorsfoot]

I always wanted to ask Do you have a favorite version of Keldor? I personally enjoy the CGI version.

It took me a long time to get to like the CGI version of Keldor. His design is so dramatically different from every version of Keldor that came before him that when the series was first released I thought he should have just been an OC with a different name. His race was different, his backstory was different, and his motivations are different. He is not the same Keldor as the Keldor I fell in love with.

But none of the characters in the Core/CGI Masters of the Universe are the same characters that people feel in love with before. Everyone is different. Cringer is no longer an adorable grainy cat but is now an aged mentor and pseudo-parent figure. Man-at-Arms who previously was the mentor and pseudo-parent figure is now one of Adam's peers. Ram Man became Ram Ma'am and was given a backstory and depth of character development I never even imagined for the character before.

Everyone in Core/CGI is different from what they were before and that includes Keldor.

At first I didn't like this version of him, but now I see how he fits in with the rest of the world and cast he's paired with and I do appreciate and like him.

But my favorite Keldor... hm, that's a tough one.

I like aspects of every version of Keldor.

I like the Classics-Line comics version of Keldor for his motivations.

In the Classics continuity, Keldor does not start off evil. He is the eldest son of King Miro and next in line for the throne. But the population is divided and racist and Keldor is half non-human. The people already did not accept Keldor as their King, and their prejudice is only validated when Keldor is implicated in the death of his step-mother the dowager Queen.

This does not instantly make Keldor bitter, resentful, or "evil". As Keldor is leaving Eternos (banished for a crime he did not commit), his thoughts are of unity and healing. Of unifying Eternia as one people.

Later, even after he's been Skeletor for decades, at the conclusion of his final battle with He-Man as he lay dying, Keldor reaffirms that peace and unity was what he really wanted all along. He begs Adam to be a good king to all people of Eternia, both human and Gar, and all races.

Classics-Line Keldor is a tragic figure who dos the wrong things for the right reasons and is doomed by the narrative.

But I also like DC Comics Keldor.

Overall I hate the DC run of the MotU franchise. I feel like they did not understand the world or the characters, or even the point of Masters of the Universe. DC did not know what MotU was or is supposed to be. They did not do the reading and turned in a shitty class project.

But they did do one(1) interesting thing, and that is Keldor's backstory.

Prince Keldor is once again the eldest son of King Miro. But this time he's not a legitimate heir.

He's a bastard.

He's not just a child born out of wedlock, he's a child that his father was ashamed of and always resented.

Keldor grew up as the black sheep of the family, a public shame to his father who had an otherwise spotless reputation as a heroic warrior and champion of what was "right".

Keldor was denied any kind of connection to his mother and her people. Miro wouldn't let Keldor visit Anwat Gar, or even study the Gar language and culture from the confines of the palace in Eternos. Keldor was made to assimilate into Eternos human society even though he was not fully human, did not look human, and would never be accepted as a human among other humans.

DC's Keldor is also a tragic character.

But unlike Classic's where he was a noble hero who went down a dark path, DC's Keldor is a marginalized person who was pigeon holed into becoming the villain. His society and his own family gave him literally no other option except to become the monster they already saw him to be.

I like 2002 Keldor because the angst (and absurdity) of his backstory is exactly something my 12-year-old self would have come up with if I had known such a character existed back then.

Once again, Keldor is the half-brother of Randor, uncle to He-Man, and the eldest son of Miro.

But it seems like in 2002 Miro had no idea Keldor even existed.

Instead, some great cataclysm befell the Gar people either shortly before Keldor was born, or perhaps when he was still an small infant. Keldor's mother, holds Miro personally responsible for the tragedy that befell her people and seeks to use her son, Miro's own son, as an instrument of revenge.

That tragedy in this backstory is two-fold. One that Keldor never even had a chance to be anything else besides the villain. He was bred to be an antagonist and already set on the path before he was even aware of the world enough to realize he might have a choice. Two, he's seeking revenge on the wrong man. It is not his father, Miro, that is responsible for the cataclysm its Count Marzo.

2002 Keldor's story is a greek tragedy.

Finally, I also really like the original Keldor from 1987, because he's just a blank slate and can be anything we want him to be.

Keldor was King Randor's brother. But we don't know if he was older or younger, or if he was half-Gar or fully human.

All we do know for sure is that he was an aspiring sorcerer who's experiments went wrong and he was trapped in dimensions beyond time.

In an interview with the writer for this comic, they state very clearly that Skeletor is Keldor. The name "Keldor" was coined specifically because is sounds like something you could get if you mispronounce "Skeletor".

Skeletor is Keldor.

But, that is never explicitly stated or shown in the canon comic. So if someone hasn't read the interview and doesn't know the Word of God, then there's no reason to assume Skeletor and Keldor are the same man. In a previous comic its stated that Skeletor is a "demon" from another dimension.

A person could come up with any number of wild stories with this information. Perhaps Keldor and Skeletor are not the same person but instead switched places. Skeletor is a demon from another dimension and when Keldor's spell went wrong it teleported Skeletor to Eternia and Keldor into the demon dimension to take Skeletor's place.

There're lots of possibilities!

Anyway, to answer your original question:

I don't have a favorite Keldor.

I love all Keldor's equally, but for different reasons.

If I absolutely had to choose, I would say the "version" of Keldor that lives in my head is my favorite, and that version of Keldor is an amalgamation of all the versions of Keldor that've been made to date.

Fandom + Joan for the meta ask game!

JOAN!!!! ❤❤❤ thank you for asking! I love talking about her.

For the sake of not conflicting timelines or universes, I stuck with my oc canon where Booker doesn't betray the Guard and things happen normally up until the point where Merrick's men ruin everything and kidnap Joe and Nicky. None of that shit happens. Just some weird new team dynamics forming since they've got TWO new immortals hanging out with them. (I also feel the need to share this ask about Copley for info on that situation and my oc canon.)

Put this whole thing under a read more because it got LONG.

What do you think the fandom for your character would be like? Are they a fan favorite, a love to hate villain, derided for whatever reason, or something else?

Honestly I don't know! I think Joan is a pretty harmless character, she's just chilling and doing her own thing, so she wouldn't be hated. The Old Guard fandom is pretty good about loving all the characters, so she's gonna be fine. I think she'll be especially loved by the people who like characters who just want to do their own thing without getting dragged into plot shenanigans lmao. Hopefully Joan would be to the aroace fans what Nicky and Joe and Andy and Quynh are to the gay fans - the rep they're looking for in action movies. But more critically, because this fandom gives unequal attention to the women vs the guys, I think Joan would unfortunately fall into a similar category as Niles, which is often "the side character who's there to be the best friend supporting the main ship/the newbie to the experienced older ones" if not ignored completely. But for the ones who don't do this, I think she'd be the cool character who just does her own thing, who has a journey of her own that's fun to analyze and talk about! And a long, kinda sad history that would have a lot of potential for fics!

What feelings does your character most often instill in their fans? Affection? A desire to protect? Open lust? A love/hate dynamic? Why do you think their fans feel this way?

Definitely a desire to protect! Girl has been on her own FOREVER! she has anxiety! But also I can see people wanting to be her lmao she lives on her own, pretty securely I might add, she's got a cat, she's best friends with the crows, she's living that Ursula from Kiki's Delivery Service life. Joan's just a normal person, living her life, she just has had a long time to figure out what she wants her life to look like and make it happen, and I can see fans finding wish fulfillment in her.

By contrast, what would their haters dislike about your character? Is it a petty complaint? A mischaracterization of the character or their intentions? Are they just a woman in a largely male-centric series?

I can see common complaints being that she's "boring". Which honestly is fair. She's meant to be boring - or at least have a boring life. She's not an action hero, she's not a warrior, she's a civilian. She wants a normal life, or as normal a life as she can have.

Joan also has issues with how she deals with her frustration over the whole "I wasn't alone but I thought I was" situation. She tries really hard not to take it out on the old guard, but sometimes it slips out without her meaning to even though she knows it wasn't anyone's fault and it was just shitty luck. When it does slip out, it ends up directed at Andy as the leader of the group. I can see some fans having issues with that, since people have similar issues with how Booker felt alone in his grief despite having his friends.

What controversies/drama would your character incite in fandom?

She's pretty low-drama, but since fandoms can be pretty casually or not so casually aphobic, her being aroace could be an issue. I feel like the old guard fandom is better than other fandoms, but I haven't seen all corners of the fandom and ngl I don't want to.

Joan's attitude towards her immortality and how she lives her life is in conflict with Andy's attitude, and that causes some conflict between them, so I can see the fandom getting into discourse over their respective philosophies. But since the movie takes the philosophy that nihilism isn't the answer, or at least that trying to make things better isn't meaningless, I can't see this being a huge controversial topic. maybe in smaller corners of the fandom.

What fan-material would exist for your character in fandom?

There'd probably be angsty artwork of her being alone and feeling lonely lmao. I can see a lot of fics analyzing her loneliness and anxiety through the centuries. Fics that explore how she navigated the centuries alone, as well as lots of fics where she almost meets the guard but just misses them, or aus where she did find them. Fics where she and the guard are just hanging out and being a found family together. I can see some angsty aus where she ends up captured before canon and Nile dreams of her and they're like "Wait there's another one of us out there BEING TORTURED???" and they go save her.

Is your character the subject of ‘imagines’ or ‘x reader’ style blogs?

Well, I haven't seen many imagines for The Old Guard in the first place, but since Joan's aroace, I sure hope not!

Are there any tropes fandom would put upon your character, for better or for worse?

"Hates romance." She hates it in regards to herself, but otherwise she just doesn't care about it. (You react with digust at the idea of dating your friend one time and you get labelled for life...)

I think people would also try to make her a woobie but like, even though she has had a rough time of it she's not miserable. She's learned to live her life as it comes, and yeah, she's lonely, she has her traumas, but she's still enjoying her life.

People might also assign her as a character who simply has the worst luck or the worst timing and. Honestly I think that would be kinda funny so I don't mind it.

What would be the ‘incorrect but wildly popular’ interpretation of your character in fandom?

The fandom would try and make Joan and Andy have conflict all the time and that's simply not true. Their philosophies clash. They have some beef, but that's mostly to do with their own issues and how it connects to the other. They themselves actually get along and respect each other a lot. They do have some conflict, but they still get along outside of that.

also I feel like people would make Joan a little "too anxious"? She does have anxiety but I feel like they would overdo it somehow, I don't know.

What corners of fandom would consider your character blorbo material?

I feel like The Old Guard fandom blorbo-fies all of the characters pretty well. But I really hope that the aroace members of the fandom would like her and make her their blorbo! Like that's the dream for me.

oc meta ask list!
