w/ the release of act 2, it seems that nobody is asking the big questions such as:

where is ekko?

if viktor died once and came back after a few days of being in the sourdough starter, does that count as his three-day jesus resurrection?

if the above is true and he's dead again, are we about to witness the second coming?

do we think cait and vi had enough time in between tousling around in the dirt and planning their little ambessa betrayal to have a quickie?

if the 'get jinxed' song is canon within the arcane universe, was that a self-titled mixtape she released or is it just a famous pop song that everyone was getting down to... good marketing either way

where is ekko.

was it mel's mystery magic/connection to the arcane that saved her (and by jayce by proxy since he was standing so close) from jinx's rocket?

jayce.... no bitches ....

where is ekko????

where the hell is ekko?????????????

Wanting to leave the council (and Mel) at the drop of a hat because he realised his place is in the lab (and with Viktor), but realising just too late and loosing him in the process due to the repercussions of not choosing him earlier (what happened with Skye and his night with Mel). Jayce Talis the bisexual disaster you are.

Obsessed with the way that Nemesis would steal your money, buy items or boons you might need, destroy doors to rooms where you might get a beneficial boon or item.

And the only way for this to not happen? You have to be better than her at it.

I've bought the items she'll be watching in Charon's shop (she's like "hey!") or run ahead and got into the room I wanted to before she has a chance to, or beat her at her wager. Mel has to be more an asshole towards her than she is towards Mel.

Literally kudos to Supergiant for making an actual nemesis out of Nemesis lmao.

HI. can you draw a v. With her glasses. Thank you my dear friend

GOTCHA BOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[melmedarda]

I don’t think we’re all talking enough about Mel subconsciously trying to protect Jayce from the bomb. Sure, we don’t have any explanation yet as to how they survived without even a scratch on them, but the implications behind it all is amazing once you stop to actually think about it. It seems clear she may not know what happened, but the thought of her love for him potentially activating her powers to protect him, as well as herself, from the bomb is driving me crazy.

Yes, the gold shining on her back may tell her when imminent danger is heading her way, but the thought of her running into Jayce’s arms and throwing all caution to the wind. The thought that if they all were to die in that moment, she’d want to do it not only in his arms, but from trying to protect him if she could. The thought of her magic potentially activating to save him, to save her. Am I crazy? Am I the only one thinking about this?

DIES DIES DIES THROWS UP BLOOD AND DIES AGAIN. Because first of all, the season opened with them. Second If they were going to die, they were going to die in the arms of the love of their lives. I can't do this. I can't. I've been thinking about it but I've been mostly normal but I can't. Because the way they were holding each other, and then how Jayce's first word, first thought was for her.

THROWING UPPPPPPPPP GOD I LOVE THEMMMMMMM and Mel's last thought was for his safety ARE YOU INSANE. THEY ARE INSANE. I AM INSANE. Gosh. The implications of like.... Everything ever. When will it be my turn. If I think about them for too long I feel compelled to write something but I have too much homework for that right now. Evils of all evils.

SOORY BUT THE TENDERNESSSSSS LOOK AT HOW HE'S CRADLING HER FACE LOOK AT HOW SHE'S LOOKING AT HIM LOOK AT HOW HE'S COMFORTING HER..... THAT'S HER MAN. THAT'S HIS WOMAN.

any thoughts of sheaf you’d kindly share with me?

(you made me obsess over her🖕🏻)

OMG??? thought this day would never come.... IVE CONVERTED ANOTHER SHEAF FAN???

thank u sm!!!

okok so im going to share my hcs and how they came to me, whether they're based in canon or i js thought it fit with her.

home life

"a limber little girl from district nine did a back handspring after she recieved a bread roll" tbosas p.96

i treasure this quote so much because it's like the only sheaf-specific quote in the whole book. i usually base sheaf's home life on the fact that she is able to do gymnastics and, more specifically, perform for others. another quote, though it isn't directly about sheaf, also intrigued me.

"lucy gray and coriolanus resumed their picnic seats and watched the show. 'we're a regular circus troupe, we are,' she said as she picked bits of meat off her bone." tbosas p.97

though this quote is from lucy gray, it reflects on not only her but the previously mentioned sheaf and treech who were performing. we know that lucy gray is actually a performer because of the covey, and it is a popular fan-theory that treech has some involvement in theatre (thank u hannah for blessing us w this 🙏), so it isn't far-fetched to imagine sheaf has some experience performing too?

i personally see her as an orphan who is around seventeen years old. i hc this specific age just because it makes more sense for her backstory and she could easily look like a little girl whilst being much older due to malnourishment. she grew up very poor in an orphanage after her parents were shot by peacekeepers for rebel-involvement. district nine, to me, is a very musical and performance based district. sheaf, along with some other of the orphanage kids form a performance troupe (somebody singing, someone playing an instrument and someone performing). sheaf, in this instance is the performer. i think she'd be able to do things like walk on a tightrope and swing from ropes as well. she's extremely flexible and fast which would have aided her in the games if she got to compete.

personality

i have alot of posts analysing how i see sheaf's personality. i find it difficult to explain how i see her sometimes, but to me she's just a much more curious version of katniss everdeen. she's cynical, she's perceptive, she's determined and she's always scheming. she's a kind heart under a tough exterior. she fights nonstop for what is right, and believes the system of hate doesn't need to be changed, it needs to be destroyed. she's also a massive hater irrelated to katniss but yk. she would definitely be open about her hatred of the capitol, and would not be compliant with androcles during their interview. i have a post linking her to katniss here, which elaborates how sheaf's upbringing influenced her to be the way she is.

relationships

i haven't mentioned sheaf's relationships much on this blog, but i do touch on her past relationship with a fellow orphan, pip thistle, in my panlo and sheaf fic, linked here.

i believe sheaf has intense trust issues, specifically toward adults. she mainly distrusts people because of how they treat the orphans in nine. orphans get sent to the games over and over on purpose, because they won't be missed as much. sheaf hates this idea, and actively fights against it, until it's too late.

pip thistle, another orphan who sheaf loves more than anything, gets sent to the games and dies. sheaf becomes distraught and starts being more and more rebellious back home, which eventually results in her getting reaped. she doesn't do it on purpose per-se, but uses it as an opportunity to try as hard as she can to avenge the love of her life. she never gets the chance. she dies before getting into the arena. she fought so vigorously, performing for people that she hates, just to die before she even gets to try and fight. she dies in what she thinks is in vein, and hates herself for it.

i also think sheaf and panlo have a close relationship, though they only knew eachother from afar before the reaping. they vow to stay together during the games, and though sheaf doesn't trust him at first, they end up becoming very close. sheaf only blames herself even more for panlo's death, since he dies before she does of his injuries.

misc

here are some misc headcanons from both me and the amazing @persephoneprice on sheaf's character!!

This isnt very yandere or dark butttt. Could you do virgin!Shigaraki who doesnt understand sex like AT ALL, headcannons? (≧∇≦)

Yesss! Also if you have like cute regular Head cannons you'd wanna see, I have a cute and regular blog @ameliaenya404!

Virgin!Shigaraki HC

♡ He has absolutely no idea what he's doing. Poor boy didn't even think he'd make it this far, and now he's going into cardiac arrest over seeing a bit of nipple. Yeah sure he watched a little hentai but he's smart enough to know that isn't exactly the best point of reference.

♡ You're going to have to guide him through it. Holding his hand and guiding it slowly to every where he can touch, how it feels, how to touch, ect ect. It's a sensory experience for him mostly, feeling your soft skin against the pads of his fingers, how your slick collects on them. He's incredibly cautious though, as to not dust you accidentally.

♡ He really wants to do everything perfectly seeing as you're the most important person to him. The performance anxiety is getting to him and you have to assure him it's okay, that he's going the right pace, that it feels better than you could have ever imagined.

♡ He might fuck up a little but just gently guide him through it and he'll get the hang of it. Soon enough, with a little love and patience, he's fucking like a pro.

[ameliaenya404]

Could I have some cute fluffy clingy headcannons of Shigaraki? (≧∇≦)

Ommggg hiii! Yes of course 🩷🩷🩷

Hope u like this and have a good day!

Clingy Shigaraki HC

♡ This poor boy is touch starved to the max. And his player 2 is just sooo soft who can really blame him for wanting to have his hands on you all the time?? Even if he's meeting with AFO - much to AFO's displeasure - you're tagging along and he's holding you like a teddy bear.

♡ He's on you no matter where you go. Bathroom? He's there. Cooking in the kitchen? His arms are wrapped around your waist. Gaming? He insisted you sit all pretty on his lap.

♡ The first time he touched you he cried. And let's be honest he probably crys after sex too but we like that in a man. After his touch destroying everything for...well his whole life, he can't believe he gets to touch something as pretty as you and not dust you.

Can the soul animals be harmed? Like if they get hurt from a mission do their animal counter part get hurt? Or is death the only time physical harm happens to the soul animal? Sorry if some questions are to spoil-ish

Now that Chapter 3 has been posted, I'll gladly explain with detail. As you might of figured out from Reader's pov, soul animals can indeed be hurt. It can be any degree of injury, from minor to major. The only determining factor on whether the soul animal becomes injured or not, is the severity of the injury in the mind of who the soul animal represents. If they don't think the injury is a big deal, the soul animal remains unharmed.

For example, Batman's soul form is almost never injured, because Batman knows he is skilled, and rarely views his injuries with a degree of high severity.

This also means that if Reader ever got a particularly terrifying papercut one day, it would appear on their own soul animal and oh boy would the Batfam freak out.

The Batfam in general have particularly interesting interactions with this soul animal feature. Bruce has absolutely used it to check whether any of them were injured and hiding it after patrol, something that Steph definitely rubbed in the others faces, since she couldn't get caught that way (until now lol).

At the same time it's not that effective, since the Batfam tend to often overlook their own injuries anyway. It does however mean, that they would not react well at all to any of Reader's injuries, since they're so used to not having any of their soul animals exhibit them.

Another thing to note is that human anatomy isn't the same as a soul animal, so the location and appearance of any injuries can sometimes appear a little differently. If someone's soul animal form is a butterfly, the butterfly can't exactly portray a leg injury. So some other type of injury would appear instead.

Reader has absolutely cut themselves at one point and became mildly concerned about it, whilst the Batfam were trying 20 different new methods of tracking you down to give urgent medical care you clearly needed. I mean, a little cut on your soul animal form? Clearly Reader is previously injured and needs them to find them urgently!

Thinking about it, they absolutely have a very long and detailed file about every injury Reader's soul form has ever exhibited, along with an even longer list of speculations as to the actual injury and what that could mean for tracking you down.

It's perhaps a tad bit excessive.

currently thinking about Satan in nightbringer vs in the original

thinking about how in nightbringer he's always outside HoL when he wants to be alone since the others are always in the library + they keep chaining him to his bed, so he most likely doesn't feel safe in his own room to begin with

how Asmo keeps trying to invade his personal space (asking to do his hair, nails etc.) and doesn't take the hint, and how Lucifer casted a spell on Satan so he physically could not leave his side for a while, and how he's never really allowed the time to properly work through his emotions

that dinner party where the others all started talking about the Celestial Realm until Satan eventually stormed off

the way he describes being in their presence as torture and refuses to see them as his brothers, yet he's instantly calm around MC because they treat him decently

how the others kept complaining over how the demons of the Devildom were treating them-how they were discriminated against because they're fallen angels-yet they keep on treating Satan, the only full-fledged demon of HoL, like some feral animal that has to be put down in two days

currently thinking about how the very first thing we learn about Satan in the original is that he masks his emotions

him saying that he loves to go on walks alone and how he gets to meet all kinds of different people that way

thinking about how he's usually in the library instead of his room

when they were all up in the human world and the other brothers were outside stargazing, meanwhile Satan stayed inside. And when asked about it by Lucifer, he claimed it was because he wanted to read before offhandedly mentioning that they're reminiscing about the Celestial Realm and he won't understand any of it anyway

he now gets along better with all of his brothers and yet, when the two of them got lost once, he told MC that there's no need to worry, because his brothers would come looking for them, making it a point to add that they wouldn't search for him

that time Satan ran away to the human world and Levi, Asmo (arguably the two brothers closest to him) and MC came to bring him back. How he started getting angry at one of their questions, so they opted for running away instead of even attempting to comfort him in any way

how his first response after Lucifer told him to leave HoL was to actually pack his things; how he was fully intent on leaving, and how when MC comes to check on him, he instantly tells them that his brothers would never stop him from leaving, that they think it's funny

the way he seemed genuienly surprised when MC accepted after he asked them out to the dance, and then admitting he actually thought that they wouldn't want to go with him

MC being his main source for comfort, and Satan even calling them his sanctuary. How before MC it was books and cats; his room being filled to the brim with books, to the point it's become a safety hazard, and him always carrying cat treats with him

currently thinking about how Satan's first instict whenever he gets angry is to isolate himself, if possible even lock himself up in his room for days on end and how his brothers don't seem to pay it much attention (Levi once said that they already had a shut-in, they don't need another one). And how he doesn't even necessarily need to give into his wrath, how simply getting worked up over something someone else said is enough for him to isolate himself

also thinking about the whole idea of 'you become the person that would have saved you when you were younger' and how Satan in the og game is literally so full of love and very kind, patient and compassionate when given the chance to fully be himself
