The Wonder (2022)

Set in The Irish Midlands in 1862, the story follows a young girl who stops eating but remains miraculously alive and well. English nurse Lib Wright is brought to a tiny village to observe eleven-year old Anna O'Donnell.

Warning: Review may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.

JayBell: I have mixed feelings about this movie. The concept itself is rather promising. The tone is appropriately creepy and foreboding. The acting is nothing to complain about (my love for Florence Pugh continues).

Plus, the characters themselves get a good amount of depth. Florence Pugh's character is definitely strong-willed and determined and she has a beautiful mix of logical intelligence and empathy. I also like that newspaper dude isn't motivated only by his feelings for the new hot girl in town, but a deeper traumatizing past.

I really love a mystery in a movie. It's fun to guess along and try to figure the case out alongside the characters. The mystery is drawn out as long as it can in the movie, which I think influences the pacing and the timing of the big "reveal" and the conclusion. To me, the pacing felt a little off as a result. Furthermore, since the movie wants to keep the mystery as long as possible, the motivations of key characters like the mother don't get as much clarity.

After the big reveal, I still felt a bit confused as to who held certain beliefs and why the mother and daughter made certain decisions. Some of which I can assume, but ultimately, I would have liked to understand the mother's true feelings about her daughter, her son, and so on. I think this greater insight into their characters would shape how I feel about the conclusion.

Also, kind of confused at what the nun added to the movie. I wish she had more of an impact. And the council of men are ANNOYING for sure, but aren't they wondering why there are no bones or anything leftover from the fire?

But in the end, I'm glad for the "happy" ending, even though I'm not sure it may be the healthiest ending. I suppose mentally unhealthy is better than dead?

Anzie: I knew this movie was going to be crazy but in a “heheh this is really crazy,” way. And it totally was, bc remembering it I feel like I’m having a fever dream. Don’t get me wrong it was great- Florence Pugh could be in literally any genre, any time period, and she kills it. Like Florence Pugh is from 2024? Uhhh have you seen her in a 1800s dress?? Bc she’s totally from the 1800s. Anyway. The premise is interesting and trying to guess how the girl wasn’t eating/ was eating and all that- I do think it was such a great but odd choice to contrast that with how many times you see Florence Pugh’s character eat.

I hated the stoopid council of men and I will be speaking no more on them.

Towards the end I was getting so over the girl. Like stop and eat. Pllllsss. Especially when her tooth came out I got a knot in my stomach. And I feeellll bad for that bc of why she didn’t eat. And it was sick and twisted. And I get the whole identity and the stories we tell ourselves deal the movie is trying to convey. But part of it felt slow after everything we had seen - and weird bc although I did pick up on part of the reasoning regarding the brother (especially seeing the weird demon eyes painted over his painting even tho that’s a totallllly normal thing people used to do) I never got a bad vibe from her mother or any animosity towards the girl?? Too bc she was feeding her the “manna” which barfff. Also if you’re that sick and twisted in your logic and reasoning how can you just switch it off if people observing your child are there 24/7? But what do I know- surely not how to victim blame my 11 year old daughter into starving to “save” her dead perverted brother’s “soul,” if he had one.

Finallly- the ending is so not what I expected but I think it’s as close as a happy ending this movie could have. I think there are ethical situations since Anna became Nan?? And like if she could process her trauma without a new dissociated identity would she choose to leave her family to go be the nurse and reporter’s kid?? (Probs considering what happened??) And I really wanna know if Nan was the nurse’s baby’s name or did Anna just like it. Like is she replacing her?? Anyway I choose to ignore it and just accept the weirdness of them becoming a family. (Totally called the reporter and the nurse marrying even if it’s fake) It’s nice. 😅

I did like the narrative at the end and how there are so many children that are affected by issues like starvation or abuse every day that should be addressed rather than passively observed- like how the counsel of men did and wanted Lib to do too. I think using the actor that worked in the house- who was really only just there- and only really told us little tidbits like how Will’s family starved and locked themselves away while he was gone- to call back to the little flipping bird toy was also really great, making the audience think about if the Anna/Nan situation is freedom or a cage, and that like Will said - it depends on how you view it.

* I hate how easy it was to say when Anna died she was in such shock her dress caught the flame and that all the council has to say is she isn’t getting paid.

* I also hate that my brain made me dream of the reporter guy as a vampire that was in control of evil flying monkeys.

Omg ty for tagging me!! This should be hella fun! I hope I did this right...I spent like 2 hrs trying to go thru songs and outfits. Was a great time trying to flesh out this part of her personality a bit more though!

5 Songs, 3 Outfits

RULES: post 5 songs associated with your OC, followed by 3 outfits they would wear

Tags: **I am terrible with the tagging thing so PLEASE if you see this consider yourself tagged ok?** So, Sagora Crefort is a wood, half-elf druid. She loves animals, has an obvious love of nature, and just appreciates living a simple, carefree life (esp with Gale). She's been through significant trauma though, but through time and with a lot of help from Gale, she's been overcoming a lot of her demons, or at least starting to. She's also suffered great loss in her family before the tadpole nonsense, and this has shaped her personality in a lot of ways. She was expected to be a stoic, serious, shrew of a woman, but through such a dire circumstance (tadpole shit,) she met someone who makes her feel loved and happy, and more free to experience life. (Gotta fic series about her story, and her time with Gale on AO3 if you're interested!) So, let's start with her 5 songs!

World Spins Madly On - The Weepies This one really speaks to her state of mind with a very close loved one passed away. Listen Here

Bloom - The Paper Kites This is just one of many songs that describes how she feels about Gale. She just wants to always be close to him because he makes her feel so loved and safe. She has no idea how she got so lucky, but she dies for every moment with him. Every touch. Every kiss. Listen Here

Devourer - Aidoneus So, I think this song kinda paints a reasonable picture of how she felt after her trauma. She just felt empty, and numb, like nothing more than a hollow shell of her former self. She's trying to come to terms with how she feels, and how she will move forward. Of course, she somehow feels like she could have done something different to stop this from happening (even though there wasn't). She's angry at the world at this point in her life with only more tragedy to come (this is post bg3 backstory btw). Listen Here

In Venere Veritas - HIM This one is special, because I see this as Sagora's AND Gale's song as they both go through some really awful shit in their lives as individuals, and choose to work through it together on this wild, nonsensical healing journey. Thanks, Ilithids for bringing these two dorks together, I guess? LOL "Let's fall apart together, now" is such an incredible line because it says to the other person that you are not alone, and we will work though our collective shit together so it sucks a little less. We're healing, we are picking up the pieces, mending our broken hearts, and forging a new path together. It's quite pivotal for Sagora because in a time where she expected to suffer alone, she found this wizard who was hurting as much as she was, if not more so why not figure out how to overcome the challenges together? Listen Here

Wolves of the Revolution - The Arcadian Wild Sagora has always kinda stepped to the beat of her own drum no matter the situation. In the face of any adversity, or strange looks, or whatever, she's done her best to stay true to herself. During her journey with the companions, she continues to fight for what's right, and do her best to live a life that Silvanus would be proud of. After all, she was supposed to become First Druid in her grove before the Ilithids took her. Through her many difficulties, she did her best to lick her wounds and move on. She survived. She thrived. Listen Here

Now, for the OUTFITS!!! WOO! 1. She is a VERY casual, relaxed person. More than likely, she'd be in some very light, comfortable pants that are easy to move in like these. (not the top tho...ignore that lol).

2. If we're going formal she would 100% wear something dark green, or dark teal. She loves a plunging neckline, and flowy/fun fabrics. Again, she does like comfort so she would more than likely choose some sort of airy fabric, but with nature-themed details. Tulle isn't her first choice, but she does appreciate how fun it is to wear so she indulges from time to time.

OH, she'd TOTALLY wear a flowery antlered crown like this (but with...real antlers ofc lol)

3. Last, but not least, sleepwear! Again, she is built for comfort, not for speed (lol) so she'll be, more often than not, wearing some sort of airy, light PJs while lounging about the tower in Waterdeep with her beloved Gale. And they would absolutely be only partially buttoned because...well, let's face it. She needs to take them off. A lot. Can't imagine why tho. 😏 I was also trying to find something that was long and maybe silky? or maybe like some sorta see-through ish fabric? something that would drape loosely on her body that is equal parts sexy asf and very comfortable. I couldn't find what I was looking for so this is the alternative. Either way, her clothes are coming off. heh. 😏

5 Songs, 3 Outfits

Tagged by @twistedapple - thank you~ And tagging in: @miradelletarot @morb-untamed @littleprincepaladin @daiya-owoda and @firlionemoontav Also if anyone is reading this and hasn't been tagged and wants to join in, well I'm terrible at choosing and remembering usernames so consider me tagging you in~ Going to put all of this below the cut so it doesn't clog your feeds, but this will all be based on my favourite Tav from @atavsguide, (all chapters are on that side blog as well as AO3). She is my absolute disaster of an elf and a woman who knows so few limits I'm genuinely concerned for her safety. Split heritage leaves her with a pale tone to her skin and long dark hair that's more often tied back to keep most of the blood out. I don't often describe her much in the fic and honestly don't have any good screenshots that I'd say really embody who she is to me, so you'll have to live with outfits and vibes~ Anyway, Tav's outfits and music below the cut!

Formal Outfit

Tav...doesn't really do formal, but Raphael did make her a dress in her dream which was later brought into vivid reality. Hardly the finery suited to the upper classes of Baldur's Gate, the inspiration was arguably more about making her feel uncomfortable and acutely aware of the particular eyes on her form. Tav is far more at home in leathers that carry a lingering scent of blood and sweat, something she can fight and escape in, but even the seasoned rogue knows when a distracting disguise is useful.

Casual Outfit

Tav is fond of red and black, but half her outfits are scavenged and stolen. Lacing and corseting isn't for fashion, it's to make sure things fit in the first place. A jacket keeps out the cold, but a distracting top underneath can be useful for a variety of scenarios... Pair all this with a comfortable pair of boots that come halfway up her shin, nice flat soles and well worn leather, soft to running down the harsh streets but still tough enough to withstand planting a solid kick when necessary.

Lace up leather trousers, Leather City https://www.theleathercity.com/product/womens-lace-up-flare-brown-leather-pant/

Lingerie

I struggled to find anything that matched what I'd see our favourite disaster in, so I went with something sturdy but sexy. Dark, alluring, she knows what she wants at the end of the day and that's clearly [explicit redacted] with whoever falls into her bed - "take pleasure where you can, you never know when this night might be your last".

The Music Of ATG's Tav

1. Empire of the Sun - Solence

An old favourite, playing on the shifting moods between longing and a need to find a way out of a loop that never seems to end. Warming up to the idea of love being for herself and not just what other people get to enjoy is not easy for Tav but that doesn't mean she doesn't desperately want to hold on to every moment of sunlight on her skin.

2. Break Me - Serenity

Lyrics of resilience wrapped in a sensual tune with a harder edge. Tav has this on repeat now and then. She's never sure if she feels strong or sad, but it's a song that resonates with a lifetime of troubles interspersed with whatever moments of bliss she can steal for herself.

3. Dawn - Echo Black

Listen this might be becoming a battle of "who needs therapy more, Lia or Tav" but I promise this is all her~

4. Masks - Aviators

I'm not saying that Tav has trust issues...but she definitely does. You don't survive for 2 centuries on your own without building up your defences and learning to see through the convenient lies and faces everyone hides behind in the street.

5. Fire Up The Night - New Medicine

When Tav cuts loose, she thoroughly enjoys herself. Lust is a chance encounter to indulge in, an opportunity to explore, and she's not letting a single one of those chances pass her by.

--- --- OK that'll do it! I spent way too long on this but it was fun~ Thanks for the tag! I'll have to get some more OCs in my head eventually, but not until Tav's found the end of her story~

[signedeclipse]

Characters that appear on your page: basically all the demons... & Uzui xD

It's really admirable that you like to write for niche characters tho! (signed, a lover of niche characters LMAO) but since you'd like to write more for them and since you posted a prompt list (which is AWESOME!) I'm gonna leave a request for one of them 👀

Can you write some headcanons for the prompt "gyokko teaches his s/o how to make pottery"? I love gyokko so much (and his interactions with muichiro were just PRICELESS) he's just a weird gremlin 🐟 but I've never actually seen any fanfic with him or anything else of the sort, so I'm really curious to see what you have in mind for him! Since it's one of the prompts you really want to write I'll give you total freedom over it, you can write whatever your heart desires! <3

- 🌈

Gyokko [X Reader]

In which Gyokko teaches his s/o how to make pottery.

Gyokko always shows you his art through every part of the process

You are probably the only one in the universe that can get away with critiquing him in any way that isn't 'it's perfect as is'

And of course, the moment you show any interest in making pottery yourself, he is on it

Teaches you where to find clay, how to properly turn it into usable clay, and all sorts of tricks to make different shapes

Your pots always end up more delicate than his, always having a softer look while his are bolder

And he's impressed, watching you work into crevices he can't manage

If yours ever break or crumble, he'll assure you that it takes a while to get to his skill level

Painting them is always fun

Because he is absolutely a million steps ahead

Trying not to laugh and trying to guess what it is you painted so you don't get sad

" Maybe I should stick with lines... "

" Maybe so "

" You aren't supposed to agree with me, Gyokko! "

Does not let you anywhere near the kiln; too hot and dangerous

Also, because sometimes, if yours breaks while firing, he will glue it back together so you can't tell

He will make some of your pots his home

The pots he had during the Swordsmith village were mostly yours

Which was why he got extra pissed

'You can break my pot, but if you DARE touch my wives-' type

Authors Note - Changing my format to be a little more A E S T H E T I C!! Please enjoy and take care of yourself <3

I also never see fanfic for him!!! Idk he is a bit of a guilty pleasure, I know he is super cool but I think people are thrown off by his looks lol! Still, I hope to write for him more!

Thank you for letting me go off LOL

[ratsoh-writes]

Okay-

No angst this time.

SO snuggles into Skeles arm and just blurts out "(weird sibling) has a bf/gf/whatever. They are just as chaotic but with more common sense, which doesn't stop them at all. Now if these two ever get married, we are going to live on a military base-" two crazy maniacs.

Now, small timeskip. SO and skele are married, weird Sib is married to crazy partner. Imagine, SO and skele don't want kids yet but sib has kids. Imagine if sib asked SO n skele to babysit the two satan spawns for them for one weekend.

The kids seem like angels when theit parents are there, but the moment they leave, hell is lose. These kids meant it when they said "after snacks, its war." they have put up pranks n such, booby trapped everything and are just little demonic hell spawns. Bonus points if these kids are triplets. They just troll skele and SO by pretending to be the other one. Just utter chaos. But dinner time? Its truce, only during dinner. Then back to war.

Dealers choice, tho i am curious if Snipe would have a stroke with these three demons.

Snipe: sure snipe has a stone. Of course he does. But don’t forget that he’s not just paranoid. He’s a highly skilled, observant, clever, AND paranoid mafia boss. The kids have one day to shape up, then it’s war. They suddenly find that every prank they try to pull is stopped cold. All their avenues vanish. The dumber goons who were helping them have vanished as well. Snipe has basically put these children in pranksters hell.

Cash: by the time crazy sibling comes back to pick the kids up, the home looks like a war zone. Glitter, paint, rubber chickens and various other prank items litter the floor. And in the middle of the living room inside of the pillow fortress is cash passed out with his three nieces/nephews. Those kids will be crying to stay another day. And honestly cash just might cry himself. He loves them

Willow: the kids were hell spawn. For an hour at most. Then willow had a talk with them about their behavior. They all apologize and are much more mellow the rest of the stay. As a reward for their good behavior, willow and oak take them to a water park the last day. Oak and SO have no idea what willow said to make the kids behave.

Wine: it takes him no less than twenty minutes to find out the trick and be able to tell them apart. That’s one prank they can’t pull on him. Don’t forget, wines little bro coffee is also a notorious prankster at times. Wine let’s the kids have their fun the first day, then puts them hard at work the next few days. They can’t prank if they’re too busy lol

Rust: even demon spawn children can’t resist the baby magnet man. Sure the kids are still mischievous, but not nearly as much as they normally are. And rust is amazing with them. At least one of the triplets finds their life passion when they stay with him. They definitely cry when they have to go back.

[inklingofinspiration]

hello may i have demon slayer match-up

my name is rex, i’m queer and use they/them pronouns and i’m 15. And i would prefer someone not over the age of 19 plz.

have like a caramel colored skin-tone (i feel like saying im black may be easier but 🤷🏽‍♀️) and im 5’3. Rn i have a purple-pink short mullet and i have pretty curly hair, im pretty chubby but i have an hourglass shape (but i have super noticeable hip dips) , i got pretty big fucking tittes (not even in a bragging way, im a fuckin k cup bro😭) and thicc thighs(thicc thighs save lives, sorry i’ll stop). I dress pretty alternative but i cant just choose one subculture tho, i wear a lot of heavy eye makeup. I could say i dress kinda “showy” but thats kinda what only fits me, but also who gives a fuck.

Honestly I don’t really have a type. Tbh most of my relationships have ended pretty badly cause they ether only wanted something sexual from me or I was “too clingy” when i just wanted basic ass affection. But the most I want is someone who is physically affectionate (like kisses, cuddles, and hugs for days) also im ok with pda to an extent like i will hug and like cuddle you but im not gonna make out with your infront of others thats weird af.

Im a libra sun, scropio moon, and gemini rising. This means that im a pretty social person and always wanna hang out with friends and just have fun, but moon in scropio makes my emotions rlly haywire and kinda boosts any sorta negative emotion, which is hard when you have chronic anxiety and major depressive disorder. Which also means i take medication for it, which i forget a lot. And because of these things i have anxiety tics, where it ranges to making noices and twitching a bit to full on hitting myself and saying random shit. But I really like making people laugh, it makes me feel helpful, but im also good at being to mother figure for people. I also like playfully bantering with people, like i love you but will full on roast you and get into fake fist-fights. I am a bit of a violent person at times but I have a punching bag and boxing gloves which help a lot. But I only get that angry when someone uses an insecurity of mine against me or is talking bad about someone i love, cause it you do that im beating your ass. I do have a bit of body insecurities mainly about my hip-dips and stomach. But because im curvy i get hit on by adults a lot and its creepy as fuck.

My hobbies include art (painting, drawing), sleeping (because i stay up mad late😭✌🏽), reading comics, Marvel and D.C superheroes, and super villains, cartoons, and anime/manga.

My favorite music genre’s are rock, alternative, emo, rap, and a little bit if indie music.

Personality: funny, sarcastic, creative, kind, inappropriate and the right times. Like im not gonna pull out a dick joke in front of your family

I don’t really have a type and im queer so i dont have a gender preference, but anyone who’s love language is physical affection cause im a clingy bitch

I have a couple ideal dates. So the first one is like an indoor picnic and a movie, an arcade date, and a stargazing date where you get take out or fast food and drive up a hill to see the stars and you like cuddle n shit.

A/N: I've been wanting to do a KNY matchup, so let's do this. But first, can I just say that you sound like such a stunning person?? (You cannot tell me that you're not, I know I'm right) Your hair must be fucking incredible, I absolutely love mullets, and don't even get me started on how nice and fun of a person you seem to be [/pos]. Your request was a blast to read through, so I was pretty hyped for this matchup and knew off the bat who you would pair well with.

*・⬪・──────・⬪・*・⬪・──────・⬪・*

I'd ship you with. . .

Inosukue! Honestly, it would be so funny watching the two of you interact at first; when you guys first meet (if I'm reading you correctly), he would be challenging you to some random ass competition off the bat, it doesn't matter where the two of you are. After seeing you kick ass (you can't tell me you wouldn't) during a fight with a few high-level demons, he'd take it as an indirect challenge and there would be no getting out of it. He would probably want to actually fight you, but you'd probably have him on the ground in, like, a minute, so all that would do is make him even more fixated on beating you in something.

For the next few weeks, he will turn everything into a competition, whether it's who can eat their dinner the fastest, who does the best in training (assuming you're not a hashira), etc. You humour him for a bit, maybe even the first two weeks, but after a while, it just gets tiring and even Inosuke needs a break at some point. He'd probably end up stumbling across you painting//drawing after a long day of training at the Butterfly Estate, and would just kinda watch you for a minute. While it’s truly out of character for him to be stunned into silence, just watching you so at peace and makes him wonder how you’re able to switch between your social and robust self to. . . something like the quiet, tranquil ambiance you had about you then.

But once he snaps out of it, he'd march over to you and ask what you were doing, that kind of thing. When you explain that you're just drawing//painting, all your free will of drawing what you want to is over, you get no more of that. He is forcing you to draw him, no matter how much you protest, and after you're done, he's parading around and bragging to EVERYONE that you drew him. To be honest, he wouldn't stop talking about it for the next few days, and if he ever needs a boost in an argument with someone (Zenitsu), he's bringing it up.

"You can't just take my food!" Zenitsu cried, clearly agitated and distraught over the fact that Inosuke had taken over half his meal after he had polished everything else off. Tanjirou had gone off to give Nezuko some food, which had left you in charge of watching over the two to make sure they didn't wreck some ancient hashira heirloom that was left lying around, but not even five minutes after and they were already looking like they were about to start swinging at each other. Inosuke, who barely even looked up from the stolen food before continuing his fervent attempts to eat everything in sight, grunted a low chuckle, clearly only encouraged by the lightning-wielder.

"Why not? You left it sitting there, so I called it," He responded between vigorous bites, the entire scenario only making you watch in flickering bemusement, torn between whether you should intervene or let it continue on. Entertainment while you ate was never something you could complain about, and this was certainly better than any play you could go see; besides, nature had to work it's course somehow, right?

"Rex-chaaannn," Zenitsu whined, his voice instantly gaining a more sugary sweet tone, rather than the course, unchecked one he had used on the boar head just a few moments ago. "Tell Inosuke to give me back my food."

You bit your lip in an attempt to hold back laughter when the accused slayer shouted something from across the table, "Shut up, Monitsu!"

The clearly incorrect pronunciation of his name sent Zenitsu into a fit, shouting practically unintelligible things from how fast he was talking, looking as though he were about ready to jump across the table to try and fight him when you burst into laughter, unable to contain it any longer. Inosuke spared you a brief glance, but the somewhat proud smirk that took residence upon his features as he continued to eat wasn't something that you exactly missed but chose not to point it out.

"I don't think there's much for you to eat now anyways," You finally commented after recovering from your fit of laughter, heaving an amused sigh when Zenitsu let out a noise of dismay.

"You can't keep taking my food, you simpleton!"

"Yeah I can, they drew ME, not you, so that's just another reason that I'm better than you!"

It would just be a love hate relationship between you guys; while you have your playful fights (both verbal banter and physical), you'r always there to back the other up in combat and Inosuke appreciate the support in his own, odd little way. For whatever reason, though, he still feels like he has to prove that he's better than you and insists that he just lets you stick around to give you something to do. When really, it's probably just the other way around.

I get the feeling that you'd probably throw your arm around his shoulders after a successful fight and boast about how you two did more work than Tanjirou and Zenitsu (playfully, obviously). Whenever you do that, it fills him with so much pride and for a second it doesn't register in his head for the first time, like?? 'They're not challenging ME? The hell's this about?' before realizing what you're saying and it only makes him more egotistical. He'd put up a weak front and say something like "Lord Inosuke did most of the work, Krex!" (the incorrect name </3) but wouldn't say much against you aside from that.

When you guys start dating and he gets introduced to physical affection, he gets so confused by what the hell it all means, but secretly enjoys your hugs nevertheless. After the two of you confessed, he would definitely brag about it and hold it over everyone's heads, like he did with the drawing, and it's just beyond humorous at that point.

Inosuke would 100% finally get your name right, and whenever anyone complains that he gets yours and not theirs, his knee-jerk reaction is always to respond with; "Yeah, 'cause they're important". Would cause endless conflict among people, but it's worth it seeing him be so stupid, insulting and caring all at the same time.

He carries you around a lot, especially enjoys giving you piggyback rides or parading around the Butterfly Estate with you hefted up on his shoulders, announcing to everyone that the two of you are "coming through". He will probably show you off a lot, because he just finds you to be such a great person and wants everyone to know that you exist and will be sure that no one cuts you off when you speak!!

He teaches you his breathing technique, change my mind.

As far as your ideal dates go, you're probably the only person who would be able to get him to sit still long enough for that kind of thing, let alone ENJOY it, but he's willing to do whatever makes you happy. (Don't be discouraged by however begrudgingly he may act when following after you to go to them, he's hyped to get to spend time with you) While he has his different ideas of fun, you always manage to persuade him to do that kind of stuff with him, and he'll almost always agree.

*・⬪・──────・⬪・*・⬪・──────・⬪・*

A/N: I hope you enjoyed, this was super fun to write, and I definitely laughed quite a bit when writing it! I'm so sorry if this took a long time, I have six weeks exams, so I was busy studying, but I should be getting to these super soon. Thank you guys all for the requests, matchups are now closed, but will be reopened as soon as I clear out all the ones waiting to be done.

Not at all you sound like a v v interesting person! Fun fact you have the same birthday as Kacchan from mha ^^

Congratulations you are a:

Demon hunter!

Breathing style: 🐅 Breath of the Tiger 🐅

Fun fact about the breathing style : This is an extremely aggressive and destructive breathing style, the users of this breathing style are usually flexible and agile. The breathing styles mimics the ability of the tiger so the strikes of the blade are agonizing to the opponent and is described as if they are being attacked by a furious tiger

Are you a hasira?: No

Who is your tsuguko or mentor: Your mentor is Obanai Iguro

Lover: Sanemi Shinazugawa ( Status: Married)

Family: Genya Shinazugawa ( Brother in law) Sanemi Shinazugawa ( Husband )

Who you are most close with/bsf: Shinobu Kochō

What people think of you: At first glance you come off as a bit scary but when getting to know you you’re actually very sweet!

Description for your nichirin sword: The blade of the sword is sliver, the hilt is in the shape of a spiral and the handle is orange

Description of your haori: You wear a regular haori with this design ( no you didn’t skin a tiger to get this 😭)

A good character trait: Stealthy 

Headcanons

At first you and Sanemi hated each other, your personalities are kind of similar so you both clashed a lot, when you fist met him you were trying to be nice and introduce yourself but because it’s Sanemi he blew you off and since you don’t like rude people you give him the same energy and were mean to him just as he was to you. You guys fought, a lot practically yelling at each other every minute of the day. Over time however, Sanemi developed feelings for you, mainly because he liked how stubborn you were and you were able to stand up to him something no one ever does, you also developed feelings for him but because you both were so stubborn you two refused to tell each other how you felt. One day while you two were yelling at each other Shinbou shouted “ My my why can’t you two just shut up and make out alrady?” You both got super flustered and stormed off in different directions later on the day Sanemi came up to you and told you how he felt and he was so happy to hear you felt the same 🥺

Genya got you a pet cat for your birthday since you love them so much, Sanemi hates the cat tho, because every time he’s near it it’s attacks him

[followmybones]

Hi my name is rex, i’m queer and use they/them pronouns and i’m 15. And i would prefer someone not over the age of 18 plz. I do not have a gender preference when it comes to match ups. And i would like a Haikyuu and Obey me(ik when it comes to obey me they r demons so the 18 thing doesn’t matter) match up

have like a caramel colored skin-tone and im 5’3 (short king). Rn i have a purple-pink short mullet and i have pretty curly hair(the ethnic popped off hehe), im pretty chubby but i have an hourglass shape, im pretty busty(im a fuckin k cup bro😭) and thicc thighs(thicc thighs save lives, sorry i’ll stop). I dress pretty alternative but i cant just choose one subculture tho, i wear a lot of heavy eye makeup. I could say i dress kinda “showy” but thats kinda what only fits me, but also who gives a fuck.

Honestly I don’t really have a type. Tbh most of my relationships have ended pretty badly cause they ether only wanted something sexual from me or I was “too clingy” when i just wanted basic ass affection. But the most I want is someone who is physically affectionate (like kisses, cuddles, and hugs for days) also im ok with pda to an extent like i will hug and like cuddle you but im not gonna make out with your infront of others thats weird af.

My ideal date is probably a movie date, indoor picnic (i fucking hate bugs), or a take out/fast food and stargazing date.

Im a libra sun, scropio moon, and gemini rising. This means that im a pretty social person and always wanna hang out with friends and just have fun, but moon in scropio makes my emotions rlly haywire and kinda boosts any sorta negative emotion, which is hard when you have chronic anxiety and major depressive disorder. Which also means i take medication for it, which i forget a lot. And because of these things i have anxiety tics, where it ranges to making noices and twitching a bit to full on hitting myself and saying random shit. But I really like making people laugh, it makes me feel helpful, but im also good at being to mother figure for people. I also like playfully bantering with people, like i love you but will full on roast you and get into fake fist-fights. I am a bit of a violent person at times but I have a punching bag and boxing gloves which help a lot. But I only get that angry when someone uses an insecurity of mine against me or is talking bad about someone i love, cause it you do that im beating your ass. I do have a bit of body insecurities mainly about my hip-dips and stomach. But because im curvy i get hit on by adults a lot and its creepy as fuck.

My hobbies include art (painting, drawing), sleeping (because i stay up mad late😭✌🏽), reading comics, Marvel and D.C superheroes, and super villains, cartoons, and anime/manga.

My favorite music genre’s are rock, alternative, emo, rap, and a little bit if indie music.

Personality: funny, sarcastic, creative, kind, inappropriate and the right times. Like im not gonna pull out a dick joke in front of your family

My description for what i look like is pretty bad so here:

I match you with…

Tetsurō Kuroo!

Kuroo would probably be more “clingy” than you, and I feel like you two would be good together, or at the very least, your dynamic would be cute. Kuroo would find it very easy to banter with you, and I feel like you could get along alright with Kenma, which is very important to Kuroo. I also feel like you guys would generally get along, considering your personalities.

Kuroo would totally dance around it for a little, but eventually, he would be the one to confess. It wouldn’t be too out there or anything. He’d definitely buy you some flowers and ask you out while offering the flowers to you. It'd be something simple, but he'd also try to keep it cute.

For a date, Kuroo would probably set up a fort in his living room and then collect food (probably take out and your favorite movie snacks) in a picnic basket so the two of you could “camp out” in the fort and watch cartoons and movies all night. He’d get super extra about it too; he’s getting an air mattress for the two of you to lay on, the fluffiest blankets he owns, and putting up fairy lights.

Your relationship would include a lot of Kuroo hyping you up, he’d be so starstruck with your style, and he’d adore you so much. Your relationship would be so silly and really sweet. I see a lot of teasing and inside jokes happening between you two.

Despite not having depression or much anxiety himself, he’d definitely help with your depression and anxiety in any way he could. He’s definitely familiar with anxiety, because of Kenma, so he definitely has some tricks up his sleeve to hopefully help you cope.

And finally, a runner-up matchup: Leviathan.

[oikaw-ugh]

HI BABE NUMBER 4 FOR THE CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE PLSSSS

HELLO SOPH! NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS HOW I’M SO HAPPY THAT I GET TO SHARE MY OC IMSUCHANERD-

Full name

Nakajima Fujita  (Breathing form: Breath of Art)

Preferred name/nickname

Fujita (for the lOVE OF GOD, DO NOT CALL HER FUJI SHE HATES IT)

Generally referred to as

The one with the brother complex HAHAHAHAHAH

Appearance.

Speech.

Sex: Female

Height: She’s gonna kill me for this but she’s 5 flat :’)

Weight: Somewhere around 55-75 kilos hehe

Build: She used to be thin but when she became a slayer, she started developing curves.

Hair: Her hair is long, it reaches up to her waist and is jet black in color. Maria (another OC from this universe) once suggested she should cut her hair but she refused because her brother likes it long. HAHAHAHHA

She used to bun it at all time but it becomes a hassle during missions so she buns half of her hair instead, the rest on lose.

Skin: Described as ‘porcelain and smooth’ by Amida (another OC from this universe) and is prone to sunburn so she hates travelling at day which is inevitable lol.

Eyes: Her eyes are crimson red in color. Maris likes to joke that she has ‘bloodshot eyes’. As for shape, they are round, almost similar to a doll.

Mouth: Thin.

Hands: Smail and slim. They used to be very smooth but she started earning callouses the longer she is a slayer.

Feet: Small.

Scars: None.

Other features: None.

Noteable features: Amida, Maria, and Junko (the other 3 OCs) kept on saying she reminded them of Japanese dolls.

Mannerisms.

Accent: None

Verbal Ticks: None

Language: Let’s assume they speak Nihonggo.

Articulation: She loves to use poetic words. By poetic, we mean words that are not familiar to Amida just to piss him off. For some reason, explaining herself is a difficult task for her. She just expects anyone to immediately understand her.

Laughter: She mostly scoffs, especially when she mocks Amida and Maria (lmao she has no guts to mock Junko. I mean, who does?) for doing something stupid. But when she’s genuinely happy, she laughs so loud and it’s very contagious, she’d even snort.

Grump: None

Breathing: Fujita is usually composed but when she finds something new or interesting, you’d hear her gasp like a child and it’s cute.

Health:

Face: She squints her eyes as if she’s reading whenever she tries to think. Also, she always has this scowling face and Amida, Junko, and Maria are convinced that she’s just disgusted with everything. kinda true.

Hands: None.

Legs/Feet: None

Habits: She likes to run her fingers through her hair or to play with the tips of her strands. It’s a coping mechanism.

Posture: Very poised! ‘Lady-like’ the way she was taught to pose.

Walking posture: Very poised as well.

Sitting posture: Very well-mannered (especially in Japan’s way of sitting? Where your knees are folded?)

Personal space: She hates people who stand or sit too close to her...well, except her brother and her husband :))))

Spacial awareness: VERY MUCH AWARE! She’d flinch at almost everything she finds disgusting. A slight brush of your skin would send her yeeting!

Personal.

Diet: Picky-eater. She loves sweets, tho.

Sleep: She sleeps early! Her maids always made sure she slept early so it became a habit.

Excercise: Nope. She hates physicaly activities despite being a demon slayer.

Activity: She does not like to move a lot. She even lets Maria do the chores. She expects everyone to work for her, similar to how the maids work for her all the time. Ik it's weird because she's a slayer, she's supposed to be very active but nah

Cleanliness: SHE HATES GETTING DIRTY. Which is a problem since she slays demons for a living.

Odour: Amida once said she smelled like home :’))) Maria said she smelled exoensive and Junko said she smelled like water.

Medical drugs: None

Narcotics: None

Addictions: None

Illness: None

Injuries: None

Parasites: None

Other:

The Past.

Introvert/Extrovert: I would say an extro. She’s from a wealthy family and is very confident on everything she does. In fact, she approached Amida and Maria first (the reason why they became friends)

Optimist/Pessimist: in between? She doesn’t really care of what happens.

Gender: Female

Sexuality: She knew she was straight. Then she met Amida, a bisexual. And that...kinds of blow her off to this day. 

Romantic: She’s never tried it and she feels like she would never. bUT SIKEEEE she is now married.

Memory: Depends. If it’s about her brother, then yes. It’s sharp. But if it’s about her friends, kind of sharp. But if it’s about things she doesn’t give a fuck, no. Her memory sucks. If it's about her husband, though...she remembers every little thing about him which I find cute.

Planning: No. She goes with the flow most of the time. Maria and Amida does all the planning in their missions (they do missions together).

Pensive: No. But if the actions has been done...she’d overthink of it whether if it was too much or stuff.

Intuition: Kind of...good of making right decisions at the same time no. She’s very spontaneous, I can’t tell.

Goals: TO KILL ALL THE DEMONS.

Insecurities: None. She’s ‘perfect’.

Achievements: She killed the demon who killed her brother. Well, we’d like to think of it that way. She raided the demon den where her brother was assigned to raid and she killed every single one of them successfully.

Anxiety: Back when her brother was still alive, she’s always anxious if his letters during missions wouldn’t come. But know, she's afraid of losing her friends, especially that they separated ways after the defeat of demons.

Overwhelmed: During her brother’s death, she felt everything was too much she actually ran away from her own home. She was also very overwhelmed when a cErTain sOmEonE asked for her hand in marriage

Self-help: Dealing with her own problems, she kinds of let the others do it for her :))) (she used to order Amida around and she’d pay him with her money lmao)

Comforts: Her brother. Unfortunately, he’s gone. But now, she finds comfort from Maria, Junko, and Amida (especially Amida).

Philosophy: OOOOH I haven’t thought of that.

Triggers: Mention of her brother, death from demons, demons, Amida getting hurt (this is rooted to the fact that she kinds of see her brother on Amida or something) and her friends getting hurt.

She also thinks it’s very important for her, Maria, and Junko to marry someone wealthy after they retire which Maria and Junko objects as they had their experiences with men. She'd eventually take this back though as no rich man has given her the happiness and contentment Amida was able to offer.

Parents/Guardians: Her father is old but is very supportive of his children. She’s very close to his brother so when she found out about his sudden death, she did not take it easy. She ran away, swearing that she’d kill the demon who killed him.

Along the way she found Amida, Maria, and Junko. Spontaneous as they can be, the four became demon slayers and they had to return to her home for temporary refuge.

School: No. But she was pampered well by her household.

Adolescence: She actually tried to shape herself into someone her brother would love.

Leaving home: She swore she’d kill the demon who killed her brother, resulting to her suddenly running away. Though she came back months after, wounded, along with Maria, Amida, and Junko as they came from a bloody mission and they needed temporary refuge. Her father was surprised and somehow upset but was more glad that he finally knew what has happened to his daughter.

Further education:

Life events: She ran away from home, went to different villages and she eventually met Amida (I’m not gonna describe too much since this is a huge event for Amida), she eventually met Maria who is a Demon Slayer which enticed her to join as well.

Worst day of their life: When demon slayers went to her household, bringing along with them his brother’s blood and torn uniform.

Lessons: She learned that though her brother would never come back, she can at least avenge him.

Looking back: She never regretted the things she did. She never regretted staining her hands for the sake of her brother.

Relationships.

Interactions.

Family: Redundant but her brother is very important to her but now, she gained new friends she consider as family. As for Amida, she finds him very special. It’s either because he reminded her of her brother or it’s because of how Amida looked like when they first met.

In the future, Fujita would return home after the demon's defeat and she'd have surprise visits from Amida who was looking for "solace". These visits became something she anticipates, almost similar to the feeling when she awaits for her brother's letters. And before she knew it, she grow more fond of Amida each visit. She fell in love.

Friendships: She had lady friends from different household but she never felt the sense of friendship not until she met Maria, Fujita, and Amida.

Friends in need: Fun fact: When she saw Amida for the first time, she was horrified and so, she treated him with good clothing and good food.

Annoyance: Dealing with arguments, expect Fujita to SCREAM a lot. She wants to prove her point. She wants everyone to understand her and she thinks screaming is the best way to extend her thoughts.

Romance: She liked the thought but dismissed it anyways as she cannot imagine herself living the rest of her life with someone who is not her brother. She does see herself marrying someone wealthy once she retires.

SIKE! SHE MARRIED AMIDA.

Marital problems: None so far.

Adversaries: -

Enemies: DEMONS. And anyone who hurts her friends and brother.

Strangers: She does not hold back when she’s with strangers so people who do not know her think she’s actually very arrogant (which she is) and bitchy. It’s just her personality, though.

Fun stuff: SHE LOVES PAINTING, HENCE HER BREATHING FORM (BREATH OF ART). She likes Haiku and paintings!

Dating: None because she's married.

Best friend: Amida, Maria, and Junko

Love: She considers her brother her love of her life. Whether it is romantically or not, I have no clue. This was her thinking not until she fell in love with Amida.

Respect: She respects no one but her friends and her brother. Especially Maria, she respects her so much.

I’m not gonna include Life ‘cause most of it don’t apply to them hehehehe

Mingling: She does not go along with others well due to her personality.

Comfort levels: She does not feel anxious or bothered when talking to people. It should be the other way around. How dare they bother her-

Physical: No she doeesn’t like affectionate actions.

Group: She’s fine with groups. She doesn’t feel anxious. It should be the other way around.

Jealous: She’s jealous of those who still have their brother on their side.

Temper: SHORT. She likes it when she annoys others but annoy her once, she won’t hesitate using her breathing form on you.

Empathy: She surprisingly empathize to those who lost their loved ones from demons. 

Affectionate: She shows her affectionate like a tsundere would do. She’d be subtle and like, defensive when caught in the act HAHAHAH

Distaste: I know that she use to emphasize how she is disgusted with Amida but it’s her Tsundere self kicking in. When she really dislikes someone, she’d ignore them completely.

Responsibility: The only responsibility she knows is keeping herself alive and keeping her friends safe. That’s all.

Self-esteem: HIGH. VERY CONFIDENT. You can say she is the spokesperson of the group.

Honesty: She’s very honest with her thoughts. But if you want her to speak of something personal, now that’s difficult. But surprisingly, she opens to Amida very easily.

Leader or follower: Follower. She admires Maria and thinks Maria knows what’s best especially on missions.

Praise: She loves praises! She likes it when people point out her well-done hair, her beautiful clothes, her beautiful breathing form. But let Amida compliment Fujita and you’d see her blushing as she tries to diss him >=}}}

Criticism: She will only accept them if they came from Maria or her brother.

Insults: She takes it hard! She’d think of that all the time and she’d try to prove it to you that you’re wrong. She’s basically a royalty! How dare you insult her?

Embarrassment: She takes compliments well....if they aren’t from Amida or his brother.

Flirting: This is a lowkey Tsundere, Ma’am. We know no flirting!

Attention span: Very short lived if she does not take interest in it. But let Maria speak and she’d be all ears.

---

I know no one asked but I have 4 OCs from Demon Slayer universe and I'd love to create this with them but I'm confused on which OC do I make one first.

So pick a number between 1 and 4 :) (Number 4 is out-)

road head in the heartland


painted in procreate on 10/11/2020 on a 2020 11-inch ipad pro with an apple pencil on my grandparents’ dining room table


initially shot on 10/11/2020 with the wide lens of an iphone 11 pro while driving through cornville USA


4032 x 3024 resolution

214.45mb file size


so this was a fun one! i’ve been struggling to “paint” my own casual iphone pics—learning to recreate the images i see in my mind when i am BLASTED is tricky! but it’s also soups fun.


the initial photo was snapped as i was driving around with my mom since we needed to retrieve some warmer clothes from my empty one-bedroom. since my paranoid breakdown, i’ve been staying in a chaotic intergenerational household—my grandparents, my mom, and obi and me. while i can’t wait to go home, i’ve tried to use this time to reconnect with myself in a meaningful way. hence the paintings!


anyway, i was admiring all thos nice leaves and thinking “americana man, corn is boring but also kinda pretty maybe? i would NEVER wanna live here but i can appreciate it while driving through it.” so i snapped some pics as my mom drove and we listened to t-swift (or, more accurately, as i forced her to endure multiple taylor swift albums with frequent interruptions where i explained why i love a certain lyric or what was happening in taylor’s life at the time that she wrote that song and UGH ISN’T GETAWAY CAR THE GREATEST SONG EVER FUCK).

okay um so i had this pic and i was like “okay motherfucker let’s paint this” and i just started brushin’ acrylic and seein’ what might come of it. LO AND FUCKING BEHOLD, i was like wait “what if I ROTATE THE PIC SO THE ROAD LEANS RIGHT AND NOT LEFT.” oh hell ya. road to fascism? NOT GOOD. nice.

then i was thinking “okay these trees, i really wanna make em POP” and then i found the rainforest brush and BOOM we have a fuckin RAINFOREST FOLKS. in illinois. what the fuck.


okay so then i thought “ok when was a cool time when nature got PISSED at america” and thought “MOUNT SAINT HELEN’S.” and like, i LOVE mt. st. helen’s because even though it was destructive af, it also had very nice and pretty things that grew in its Wreck. it also happened in 1980, just like ronald reagan. hmmmmmm!


okay so now i am PRETTY SURE i’m remembering things out of order—you’ll have to check out the youtube version of road head in the heartland (when i get around to uploading it lmao sorry) to fact check me. but i know at some point i was like “need eagle” and so there’s an eagle flyin’ through the cloud but you can’t really see them. but they’re there!


then i was like “wait….what if this road to fascism is covering up green and it’s separated from the brightness of nature with this human-made, essentially untouched gutter that shines brightly in an image consumed by clouds of ignored and obfuscated apocalypse? i love the gutter. i live in the gutter. here, it protecc.”


and then i thought “oh shit, that car could have DIPLOMATIC PLATES” like in diplomat’s son (WHEN I WOKE UP HE WAS GONE) and it’s drivin’ right into the shit, and then BOOM there’s the white house. just smack-dab out of the way and so consumed by its own palace intrigue that it barely notices fuckin’ mount saint helen’s blowin’ us up, let alone THE FUCKING SUPERNOVA i inserted in the top right and lit up and then buried in more cloud.


so now, the white house is completely irrelevant, but also all roads lead to it. american conundrum!


trump is an actor and an avatar of fascism in this story—his own demons have driven him to where he sits, and he only exists because he is nothing more than a right-wing caricature projecting the conservative american id onto an unwilling host. he is the paranoid style that powered the nazi rally at times square in 1938 (or was it 37? 39? not sure don’t wanna google rn). he shapes and creates the swamp but he is also compelled by it. it’s a WILD feedback loop.


i would love to see the network graph of trump’s twitter accounts—not just who he follows, but whose tweets he lingers on, whose hateful screeds he absorbs, whose oaths of fealty to Q tempt the mad king with the dream we all KNOW he thought about when the pee tape was filmed. (it’s real!!! i will not cede this to anyone!!!!!)


so then i just…um, shit. uh…OH YES. THE HEAD THAT THIS PAINT IS NAMED FOR. so infected trump is in the white house but he also finished paving the road to this Wreck (let me be clear—reagan initiated it), and so his head is embedded in this road no doubt about it. therefore, road head. in the heartland. cornville USA.


and, uh, yeah. from there, go crazy with interpreting this. i’ve got a few other ideas but i think this covers the highlights.

[shhdarkishere]

I’VE FINISHED THEIR REFS

FINALLY 

Okay so here’s the deal:

Anthony (Zerachiel)

angel of children and the sun

started painting during renaissance when he was often a model for Leonardo da Vinci n such 

loves painting Angel, space and plants

has a room dedicated to all kinds of greenery (kind of a greenhouse) which is “guarded” by a burmese python called Snunkie

Earth > Heaven

thinking? bibtch wHERE? I’M GOING IN-

angels don’t dance but he decided to learn tango to add a bit of spice into his boring life full of plants and paints

if you call him Tony, I hope you like the taste of paint

has a huge tattoo on his back (a squiggly snake with a sun-shaped halo)

owns a white Bentley that plays soft™ n sad™ (both Cavetown and Queen)

is fascinated by Angel’s wings

baby but easily pissed off 

anxiety

forgives too fast

star freckles

chaotic good

didn’t have a good night’s sleep since the massacre of the innocents (started sleeping well again only thanks to Angel)

Angel (Furfur)

Great Earl of Hell

his specialty should be lying but he’s just the worst at it

art AND BOOK collector (mostly Anthony’s art tho)

teaches divine things from said books

appears cold and serious but is easily tilted/flustered

gives exactly zero fucks about Hell, he does small tricks just for fun

can do puppy eyes if he wants to

often forgets to wear his shades (and gives zero fucks abt it)

doesn’t understand the appeal of dancing 

fluffy deer cuddles w/ Anthony (that often turn into nap time)

food!!

insecure about his naked wings (thinks they ew,,, plus they v sensitive hehe)

called himself Angel as a big fuck you to Heaven

teases Anthony a lot

loves peaches and strawberries (they remind him of Anthony,,,)

DO NOT TOUCH (unless ur Tony)

lawful neutral 

is a winged deer by default but can miracle the wings away 

Their relationship

"are you two dating?” “no?? h?? who the fuck knows anymore”

basically so close they don’t need to be officially dating

haven’t kissed yet tho, just deer cuddles and maybe handholding that nobody was a witness to

GET A ROOM

Anthony’s mind is in a constant state of “Is he flirting or is it just his demonic personality??”

so he just assumes he’s playing and often gets mildly annoyed (”I’M TRYING TO WORK HERE”)

“Ah shit did he mean Angel or angel??”

Anthony tries to express his love by painting Angel

Angel flirts through complimenting Anthony and his art

“angel, dear (Angel think this is a pun and hates it)”

“dear boy, Monet, strawberry shortcake (”I’m taller than you...”)”

More stuff:

[smallgayblanket]

New/revised/whatever- List of stuff

Egos (Marks/Jacks) that I have written for or at least actually have thought about HCS/other universes for:  (Just some brief rambles about them, please don't hesitate to ask about them :3)

  -Anti,   Two takes really, I like him soft, like him mean, hes just fun to write, plenty of different ways to spin why he acts out, what he is and all that. My current fav way to portray him is a missing piece of Seans soul, which means hes unstable as a ‘person’ (cough, not really a human but not, not human either.)  And how he has static filled blue eyes but usually hides them with the scary emerald green...

-Jameson,  I will always stand by this kinda universe i created with a friend aages ao that Shawn took away Jamesons voice when being puppeteered by an awful ink creature that shares his body.  Giving Jameson a lovely fear of knives, some scars, and some very damaged vocals..

-Crank, Oh my fucking boi, a near dead human spliced with a bunch of robot parts..human skin tangled with wires and a heart incased in metal..hes a right mess, a voice in his head that makes him feel all sorts of bad.. He tries his best..he cries oil,  I hardly get to write  him but I love him.

-Blank, another big fav oi, black hollow eyes..a tendency to faint... My Hc involves him having been in an accident that almost killed him, leaving him with a very rare heart condition. He also has an aura which..kinda ties into him having a few abilities and stuff. 

-Nes.. He started off as my own kinda Ethan ego, basically Ethan who was mistreated and really lost his marbles..hes great for the real twisted messed up kinda stuff, so dependant on others, a minor murderer, and has been eyed off by a certain ice cream driver for quite some time...

-Were eth,  Okay granted this was literally just kinda an idea that..Eth became a were wolf boi, fangs, tail, ears. Hes just a fun lil pupper

-Eden. Succubus Ethan basically, but well, he again kinda turned into his own thing separate from Ethan. He's got a tail and wings, and hes a lovely lithe thing. He doesnt dare do things without consent, just gets a bit touchy-feely when hes gone without any energy for too long. Very wide stunning saphire eyes. 

- Jackie  Oh my lad..Buff, trans, adorable, sweet. I always love tinkering around with how/what powers he has tbh..and like- I’ve always had the hc that his eyes are lilac?? or gold. Depending on things.. and he works either at a comic book store, a gym, or at the counter of a gas station. Gives the best hugs. Also I love AUS where hes a phoniex because of uhm?? Big fucking red wings??? YES.

-Hen, Getting his accent right is tough but other than that I love writing about the tired doctor living off coffee and ignoring himself in favor of others. 

-Chase The fucking best dad, sunshine lad. Running a vlogging channel and doing his best while combatting depression..I hc him to have chronic fatigue so he has to push himself extra hard. but He does well in trying to get better and look after himself and only slips up like any other helpless human. Very fun to write. 

- Robbie.   Sof.t zombie lad. Drown in a sweater. Stutters and is v quiet. Slow with speech. Struggles to see sometimes. Loves soft textures.Loves attention. Overall soft fucking lad.

-KOTS, To mean known as Simon. Actually v smart, big brain, very scattered n shy and nervous and squirrelish. Loves books n plants, loves nature. Red is his best colour. Warm sweaters and nuzzling and cuddling up. I always get torn between him being a hybrid of human/squirrel or just a lovely soft guy. 

-Yan ! My fem nb/trans gal! They’ll kick ass with their katana, have the hots for Bim, and looove Japanese culture and stuff. Very adorable. Loves pink. 10/10 love to write. 

-Technically I do have a muse for Mark, or..idea? I’m thinking about shoving it into my own oc/thing..but basically he got tortured n abused by Authy so hes not quite like the real life markimoo..just a nervous mess whose dealing with his traumas..

-Bing, Skater lad, yellow/orange eyes, sunflower vibes. Tries his best, clumsy as fuck, great for a laugh when hes not cowering under google.

He is a fucking nerd (Minor adhd lets be honest) He fucking loves space and science and space/science related lights. He has a bat plus with spacey wings. He likes reading, likes being clean and is quite a quiet indulger in food which has left him with a big of a softer figure. Super gentle nature..nothing like the arrogant portrayal we got in some videos. 

-Angus   I love this man!!! Part Aussie, part irish, a whole lot of gruff old dad with a soft spot for nice people and animals, has his own big place, next to a large ass forest. Loads of scars. Loves boots and cameo coloured clothing. A lovely guy when you get past the rough edges.

- Lucio Witchy..dragon soul something or other- Deaf.Paralyzed? In the arms??They might use alot of energy trying to hover around instead of having to use a chair..(I mean how many witches do you see with chairs??).. Although they could not have use of their arms instead, like..paralyzed from the shoulder down- they still have them but theyre effectively useless and easily sore.. (which might make magic really hard, cause theyd have to master it again without their hand gestures.)

[aced0g]

For the 'Inquisitor as Companion' asks: 7, 9, 10, 13, and 17 for Evander and Aspen?

Aspen Lavellan: 

7. What would be on their tombstone in the fade (what is their greatest fear)?Hmm, Aspen’s greatest fear would probably be dying alone. Because of his past isolation was used as a big method to try and break him. He hates being alone and to die alone terrifies him, no one knowing where he is or that he’s dead. He doesn’t talk about it much but if you ask the right questions in game before this mission you might have been able to piece it together. 9. Where in Skyhold would they be found? (e.g. Cole is in the tavern rafters, Leliana in the top of the tower, Varric in the throne room, etc.)Aspen loves being outdoors, so you’d probably find him near the stables. In his clan he was training to learn how to care for the halla, so even though the Inquisition may only have harts its enough to give him some comfort when he misses home. (also since I headcanon that he comes from a mountain elf clan the size of the harts is no surprise to him and actually comforts him more. Normal Halla to Aspen seem so small cause his clan’s mountain halla are like moose sized)

10. If Inquisition operated like DA:O, what would their gift items be? What would their approval and disapproval Feast Day items be?Hmm gifts for Aspen would probably be centered around his homesickness, I’m thinking the simple ones would be: ancient elven glyph stone (located in the emerald graves), dalish poem (purchasable in one of the book stores),  small carved halla (can be purchased from the clan in the exalted plains), carved dalish trinket (found in the exalted plains), elven scarf (also can be purchased from the clan in the exalted plains), dalish recipe (found in the emerald graves), a small painting of a forest (found in emprise du lion). The two important ones that would trigger cut scenes would be: climbing powder, this would be something you would have a war table mission for. When you give it to Aspen his face would just light up and he’d take you to one of the nearby rock faces and with the powder bag on his hip he’d just start climbing and encourage the inquisitor to follow. The boy loves to rock climb. The second one would be his amulet from when he became a true hunter from his clan. It would also be a war table mission you unlock after he tells you about how he lost it, it was ripped off of him and tossed aside when he was captured by slavers and he misses it dearly. When you give it to him he would be surprised that you found it and even listened when he was talking about how it was lost to him and go “Ma serannas … my thanks Inquisitor. this means a great deal to me.” and most likely give the Inquisitor a hug. If the Inquisitor is Dalish they would have the option to reply in Dalish which would only make him happier. 

As for Feast Day his approval gift would most likely be an ironwood longbow you could have made from the clan in the Exalted Plains. It would become his main weapon that you could of course enhance and enchant but not swap out.The bow would give him a +2 to his Dexterity stats. Since he has the vallaslin for the elven god June the bow means even more to him as the carvings along the bow are related to him. To a non-Dalish Inquisitor there would be an option to ask Aspen what the carvings mean and he would gladly tell. With a Dalish Inquisitor Aspen would just be thrilled that they remembered.

For his prank gift it would probably be a book on the Chantry and how to follow the Maker. Reading it aloud in battle would give everyone in the party but him a bravery effect I guess? Aspen would just be annoyed and probably get it, squint to make sure he was reading it right and then just got, “Thanks…”13. If the Herald didn’t have them tag along to prep the trebuchets, what would they do during the battle for Haven? (bonus: would they join in on the impromptu Dawn Will Come choir practice in the camp?)

If he’s not tagging along to prep the Trebuchets he’s standing on the gate walls and shooting any enemies that get too close to it or try to attack those fleeing the carnage. When he sees the dragon he actually gets knocked off and injures his arm so he runs into the Chantry, either that or get killed by a red templar. As he runs tho he makes sure that others get in before him. In the camp he’s probably battling his own fears and no. He doesn’t know the song or really what’s going on and kind of just raises a brow and glances at well Solas cause he knows Solas probably doesn’t know this song either. 17. Where do they hang out in the Winter Palace? What’s their thoughts on the nobles/The Game?

He stays in the ballroom close to the advisers, why? Because that way Leliana can glare at him anytime she notices him about ready to blow up on a noble that calls him a servant. His thoughts on the nobles is that they’re a bunch of pompous racist assholes that can’t see two feet in front of their nose. He’s clearly in Inquisition regalia, he does not have a tray, he’s not a servant but they see the ears and just assume he is. Aspen couldn’t care less about the game. He thinks they should just shoot whoever the problem is with a few arrows and be done with it. Needless to say when he’s in the ballroom he grabs a drink every time the tray comes round, and when he gets called away to help search the grounds he gets to take out his emotions on their enemies.

Evander Virani:

7. What would be on their tombstone in the fade (what is their greatest fear)?

His greatest fear would be corruption. Evander strives to be a hero despite his past, despite what he was told growing up. What he fears most is becoming the demon and monster that he told he was bound to become. His burn scars are a constant reminder of what can happen if he loses control and he doesn’t want that to happen. 9. Where in Skyhold would they be found? (e.g. Cole is in the tavern rafters, Leliana in the top of the tower, Varric in the throne room, etc.)

I think he’d be found in the forge to be honest. One of his ways to calm down is working in the forge, using his magic to melt and work the metals into the right shape, so that’s where he’d be in his free time. Plus we never get to see companions in there so I think it would be fun. 10. If Inquisition operated like DA:O, what would their gift items be? What would their approval and disapproval Feast Day items be?

Evander’s gifts would more so focused on comfort. The guy’s been through a lot of shit before the Inquisition so he needs comfort. The simple gifts would be: a mabari plush (found in the Hinterlands near Redcliff), a book of jokes (purchasable from one of the book shops), a long black scarf (found in emprise du lion), a worry stone (probably found in Redcliff), a steel dragon statuette (purchasable at Val Royeaux), dragon tooth earring (found in the hinterlands), soft black sweater (found in emprise du lion). Now as for the important gifts: His brother’s shield. This would probably be something you need really high level approval for even to unlock the war table mission to retrieve it. When he left Tevinter he was in a hurry, and he regrets not taking something of his brother’s with him. The shield itself isn’t something Evander can use, but it brings him comfort. He keeps it on a wall in his quarters with a candle burning beneath it. When you give the shield to him he honestly can’t believe that you managed to find it let alone send someone all the way out to Tevinter to go looking for it. He’ll get flustered and say it wasn’t necessary and the Inquisitor will have the option to comfort him and even hug him. The second important gift would be a letter from his mother. Evander made sure she had enough funds (anonymously) to escape Tevinter, after she left he lost contact with her. He knows what clan she used to be from and probably mentions to the Inquisitor how he hopes she was able to find her family again. This would unlock a few war table missions. First you’d need to find her clan, then be skillful and approach the clan without raising alarm. Then you’d get the letter and when you give that to Evander as he reads it he would probably start crying happily. He thought his mother would hate him for not being able to protect Romulus but she’s just overjoyed that Evander’s still alive and out of Tevinter as well. Later on the Inquisitor can ask about Evander’s mother again and he’ll inform the Inquisitor that they keep in contact now. 

His approval gift for Feast Day would most likely be something similar to that magical sword you can find on one of the astrarium missions? It would fascinate Evander to no end and it would allow him to do more damage in battle as he’s not only adept at casting spells, but actually using weapons such as swords. It would be a replacement to him using a staff and you would be able to find upgrades and enchant it similar to how Bianca works for Varric. 

His prank gift would be pink butterfly fingerless gloves. Evander doesn’t really wear many colors, and he needs gloves to hide the burn scars on the back of his hands. He would accept the gloves and they would be a bonus 5 armor but they just look so out of place on him. 13. If the Herald didn’t have them tag along to prep the trebuchets, what would they do during the battle for Haven? (bonus: would they join in on the impromptu Dawn Will Come choir practice in the camp?)

If he’s not tagging along he’s helping everyone get to the chantry and protecting those who don’t have weapons. There are many people still outside of the gates and as soon as he has one group inside he goes out to get another. It’s only when the dragon attacks that Evander goes to the Chantry himself, and even then its very last minute, just before the Inquisitor gets in themself. At the camp Evander knows the song but he doesn’t join in. He’s scared. He doesn’t know how to react really and the song honestly means nothing to him. The scene would probably cut to him just sitting with his head down rubbing the back of his neck. 17. Where do they hang out in the Winter Palace? What’s their thoughts on the nobles/The Game?

Evander is hanging out in that cool smoking area that you can find Varric in and that takes Halla Statuettes to unlock. He’s not new to the game and honestly is quite skilled at playing it, but he’s not here to play the game. He’s here to smile and wave and keep an ear open for any useful information. That doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy a good drink and something to smoke while he’s at it. The nobles are easy to manipulate and get rumors and information out of. One of his favorite things to do is get expensive drinks (remember his taste buds are shit and it all tastes like vaguely flavored water or really really flat beer) and just talk with them on the tastes and how its such a good year and its hilarious to him because he’s just pulling it out of his ass and they’re agreeing. The nobles here make him want to strangle them but he hides it quite well. Mostly they want to know about why he’s a half elf. Each time he gets asked he comes up with some crazy story that the nobles just seem to believe is fact.

Q&A Julian and Emma

pianoviolin831 said: Hi Cassie! I just first wanted to say thank you for writing such a wonderful world with diverse people — as a Chinese American girl, it’s nice to see representation! This may be really stupid, but how does Julian not realize Emma still loves him at the end of LM even tho she’s dating Mark? Because they were kissing by the attic in LoS before Emma said “Mark” and I was just confused how Julian didn’t realize Emma still had feelings for him. Did Julian just want to believe Emma loved Mark? Ily!️ Thanks! :)

It's established as early as CoHF that Emma once had a bit of a crush on Mark and that Julian is jealous:

Lately she’d been noticing a lot more things about Mark—the way the odd, faerie-influenced shape of his face was appealing, and the breadth of his shoulders under his T-shirts. She didn’t know why she was noticing those things, and she didn’t exactly like it. It made her want to snap at Mark, or hide, often at the same time. 

“You’re staring,” Julian said, looking at Emma over the knees of his paint-splattered training gear. She snapped back to attention. “At Mark—again.” He sounded annoyed. 

All throughout Lady Midnight, it's clear that Julian is jealous of Mark in a way that he isn't jealous of anyone else. Not just about Emma, but about Mark’s relationship with his brothers and sisters. Mark is everything Julian wishes he could be, but can’t be. Though he knows Mark has had a bad time of it these past years, he’s also resentful that the weight of all responsibility has fallen on him for so long. 

“You have to understand,” she said. “Julian does everything for these children. Everything. I have never seen a brother who is so much like a parent. He cannot only tell them yes, he has to tell them no. He must deal in discipline and punishment and denial. Whereas you, you can give them anything. You can have fun with them.” 

“Julian can have fun with them,” Mark said a little sulkily. 

“He can’t,” said Cristina. “He is envious because he loves them but he cannot be their brother. He must be their father. In his mind, they dread him and adore you.”

“Julian’s jealous?” Mark looked astonished. “Of me?” 

And:

“It was surrounded by Mantid demons when we went, so we have pictures of the inside but not the outside,” Mark said as Ty went to get the photos. “As for the demons, Emma and I took care of them.” He winked at Emma. She smiled, and Julian felt that short, sharp jab of jealousy that came whenever Mark flirted with Emma. He knew it didn’t mean anything. Mark flirted in that way that faeries did, with a sort of courtly humor that had no real weight behind it. But Mark could flirt with Emma if he wanted. He had a choice, and faeries were notoriously fickle . . . and if Mark was interested, then he, Julian, had no right or reason to object. He should support his brother—wouldn’t he be lucky, after all, if his brother and parabatai  fell in love? Didn’t people dream about the people who they loved loving one another? and later:

Julian’s hands stroked her hair. “I know it’s ridiculous. But when you had a crush on Mark, when you were twelve, it was the first time I remember ever being jealous. It doesn’t make any sense, I know that, but the things we’re most frightened of, we can’t make ourselves dismiss them. If you and Mark ever . . . I don’t think I could come back from that.”

So why can’t Julian dismiss the idea that Emma has decided she wants Mark instead of him? Because of exactly what he said: the things we’re most frightened of, we can’t make ourselves dismiss them.This is his deepest fear and insecurity. It’s not like Emma picked the story about Mark at random. She did it because she knows Julian, and she tells Julian that she and Mark are together because it is the one thing she can think of that could make him stop loving her. Julian trusts her, and trusts her not to hurt him; though the parabatai bond makes it forbidden for them to be together, Julian knows perfectly well that Emma wouldn’t come up with a story that would hurt him so horribly unless it was true. She has literally no reason Julian knows about to lie to him this way. It wouldn’t occur to him she was lying, because he doesn’t know about the curse. We simply don’t assume people we love and trust are going to tell us horrendous lies for no reason, it’s wildly out of character for Emma, and indeed it’s something she would never do except that she knows about the curse — and Julian doesn’t. And because of his specific fears and insecurities regarding Mark, Julian is more willing to believe the lie than he would be had she chosen any one else to lie about. That's why Emma chose Mark to lie to Julian about. He was the only one with whom her plan had a chance of working. It didn’t work because Julian wanted to believe it. It worked because he was afraid of it.

How do you think Daenerys is going to react when she finds out Jon is a Targaryen and technically has a better claim ? Sorry you defend her well so I always come to you when I'm worried lol so many people on tumblr are saying she won't react well

I’m glad to know that I’m known as a fierce Dany defender because… that’s what I thrive to be, lol. So- about the whole Targ thing, the incest and all… really what I can say is I don’t know? Because really, I hate how “intertwined” Jon and Daenerys have become despite the obvious incest thing. Hence why I don’t ship them: with their chemistry and the whole lore behind them, were they not related, I’d ship that shit like 100%. I think it’ll be so difficult for them to “deal” with all this that I try not to think about it too much because I think they’re going to HURT a lot. I’m still able to recognize that the scripts, the scenes themselves and the actors, all state that Daenerys and Jon are in love at that point. Like, it’s not a lie, we know Jon isn’t the type of dude who sleeps with a woman for fun - or to fake an alliance *rolls eyes*. It “yiiiikes” me but it’s canon. It’s a very delicate situation.I think we have to look at the characters to kinda guess what is gonna happen. Jon has had a story about accepting who he was, a bastard, and someone who had a greater purpose than “the wars south”. Jon’s post-s5 journey has been about him claiming his place among his own family - the Starks, and still, his “greater cause” that no one else believes in. Hence why him allowing himself to fall in love with Daenerys is such a strong thing, because… well, he was supposed to have other priorities: he even states that in canon, to Davos. Davos says “I’ve seen you staring at her good heart” and Jon’s only response is “we don’t have time for that”. I really, 100% don’t see Jon learning that he’s Rhaegar Targaryen’s son and be like “well I guess the Throne is mine, then!” I don’t see him throwing that info at Daenerys to be like “I’m a better Targaryen than you!”. I think it’ll mostly affect Jon because he loves Daenerys, and he just found out that 1) they’re related (Kit himself said that Jon isn’t the type of man who would KNOWINGLY sleep with someone he’s related to) and 2) probably, that his heritage might threaten Daenerys’ claim to the Throne- and kinda shake her alliances (potentially) or her “security” as an Heir. Hence why I think Jon will NEVER come out officially as anything but “Ned Stark’s bastard”. Kinda like Ned, who kept the secret all his life, out of “duty” and love for someone else (Jon and Lyanna mostly). Jon is Jon Snow. You can see it among the fandom itself, NO ONE takes him as “Aegon Targaryen”. So I think he’ll remain Jon Snow and never claim anything more than that. And he already achieved A LOT for a bastard, he’s King in the North right now, ffs. Now of course I think he’ll tell Daenerys, but for different reasons than his claim.As for Daenerys, it’s hard to say what she thinks about incest. On the show, she has a very twisted relationship with Viserys, so that might not jolt good memories to her. But in the books, Daenerys is basically raised by her brother telling her that had she been born earlier, she would have married Rhaegar and Robert’s rebellion would have never happened (and that then, it’s her fault all their family died because she wasn’t born at the right time *rolls eyes* typical abusive bullshit ya kno). Hence, Daenerys was raised in a “well you would have married your own brother!” mentality, in the books. On the show, we’ve had Daenerys’ whole journey being about shaping her as a leader, a Queen, and a woman of her own. I don’t see Daenerys bending the knee to Jon and I don’t see Jon asking her to do that: they’re way beyond that. Daenerys swore to help Jon before he bent the knee, she was over this idea of “petty wars” for the throne and who has allegiance to who. She wanted Jon to accept Cersei’s deal at the Dragon Pit if it meant them having Cersei’s army to help them against the WW. Hence, Daenerys was ready to accept that Jon “came back” on his allegiance to her, for the greater good. I’m tired of people presenting Daenerys as a crazy despote who is STILL thinking about the Iron Throne. It’s at the bottom of her priorities right now: she’s LITERALLY riding north with all of her army, abandoning her stronghold of Dragonstone, to get to Winterfell and help people who owe her nothing. People whom she knows, won’t accept her right away. Daenerys had nothing to gain in trusting Jon at the beginning of s7: for all she knew (and tbh Tyrion vouching for Jon was a stupid move, because they hadn’t seen each others for 7 fucking years and stop pretending that there aren’t tons of GoT characters who literally switched alliances in that time), Jon could have been an ally to Cersei trying to have Daenerys shift her focus for Cersei to hit her. I mean? Yes we know these characters, but they didn’t know each others at the time. In the meantime, when she learnt more about Jon, Daenerys literally trusted Jon with everything: she sacrificed one of her dragons for him ffs. She rode North, risking her own life to save him, on nothing - at this point - but his words that Ice Zombies were a real thing. Daenerys’ trust in Jon is absolute, otherwise, again, why would she fall in love with him if it weren’t? I mean I could add another argument to that using the leaks that I’ve read but I’m not going to spoil it. All in all, people who pretend that Daenerys could turn on Jon like the second she learns that he’s Rhaegar’s son are… delusionals. And just blindly hate Daenerys or like to pretend that she’s “the Mad Queen” or whatever. It’s not Dany who made a vow to help him and ends up not sending any troops. *shrugs* She’s coming to Winterfell with her FULL FORCE: the army she spent YEARS to build, through horrible trials and difficulties and all that struggle. She could lose it all to help Jon and to fight for a cause that is way greater than the Iron Throne. Tbh I think the Iron Throne is as relevant as Cersei seems to be in the trailer: not at all. Anyway now I know Spring will eventually follow and if King’s Landing is still a thing, if Jon and Daenerys both survive, the question of the Iron Throne will still be a thing. Now I’m wondering if Daenerys’ vision in the House of the Undying didn’t represent what we already saw on s7: winter coming, Daenerys walking to claim her throne, but being “called” by another purpose. She steps away from the Throne and then walks North of the Wall. It’s basically what she did by the end of s7. The Snow in KL could be a symbol for Jon and not even the fact that the King’s Landing is gonna be destroyed by the Night King, who knows. I still think Daenerys has a stronger chance to end up on the Iron Throne than Jon. Personally I’m still on the side of believing that Daenerys will even be pregnant, which would mean that Jon and her wouldn’t even have some kind of “power struggle” over whose claim is stronger than whose. They’d do what is best for their child. And yeah I know the most memorable “incest child” was Joffrey, but let’s all remember, as Tyrion himself said, that Myrcella and Tommen were very good, nice and gentle children, even tho they were born of incest. I don’t know if I believe the marriage theory because as I said, I don’t know how Jon and Dany will react about the incest thing. Will Jon still marry Dany and still be with her even tho Kit said that it’s not Jon’s type? Idk. Maybe it’ll be an “impossible love” kind of thing. Maybe it’ll be a call-back to what Maester Aemon said: what do you choose between duty and the love of a woman? The feeling of a newborn in your arms? At the time, Jon believed Ned would choose duty, that it would be the honorable thing to do, soooo? Again, seeing from some leaks I’ve read that I won’t put into details, I think it’s a strong possibility to have Jon not being anywhere near power at the end of the show, but rather roaming North, leading what could be the “after Night’s Watch”, like with Tormund and people going North of the Wall, like perpetuating this idea of “Shield that Guards the Realms of Men”. It’s also a thing that could separate Jon and Daenerys, their very different ambitions: Jon stated several times that he could just live in a cave with Ygritte, with nothing but love and food and good company ya know. While Daenerys has rejected “good company” (Daario) for the Throne, already. I mean, yeah she wasn’t in love with Daario, but Daario did offer her a “simple relationship” and she refused it. Also to come back to her vision at the House of the Undying, we do see Daenerys refusing to live in a hut with a man she loves (Drogo… it’s presented as love in the show, so *shrugs*) and their son, because something else called out to her- her dragons, reality, her claim to the Throne. I’m rambling a lot, right? Anyway to be clear, I don’t think Daenerys is a “Targaryen demon” who will unleash her wrath upon Jon and try to kill him or destroy him when learning he’s HER BROTHER’S son. Like? Okay I know Dany never met Rhaegar, but she still tried to learn a lot about him - in the show’s canon. She’s named her dragon after Rhaegar. She loves him, and she’s in love with Jon. These things don’t just go away, and the characters won’t become sudden enemies circling around the Throne and making war to each other. I just roll my eyes at all this “targ bowl” / “dark!dany” bs. It won’t happen. Daenerys is better than that and I can’t wait for all these people to shut the freak up for good- when the show ends. Daenerys is painted as a hero on the show, and anyone not seeing it, is just trying to bend the story. Yes she’s had to make hard decisions, just like a lot of other characters have. She struggled with these decisions and had remorses about these decisions, like A GOOD PERSON would. I think Jon and Daenerys in their relationship are beyond the Throne. I don’t think Jon fell in love with Daenerys with the idea of “well I’ll become King if she wins!” and I don’t think Daenerys fell in love with Jon with the idea of “wow I’ll unite the North and the South by doing that!”. As the scripts and the characters point it out: it’s not the right time for it to happen, it’s not even right for it to happen because in fact they’re related (hence Bran’s voice over the sex scene), but it happened because… sometimes heart is stronger than duty. Hence, it mirroring Rhaegar and Lyanna’s marriage on the show: Rhaegar and Lyanna chose love over duty (even tho no comment about book!Rhaegar). They ended up being a tragic story. That’s a very strong theme in both Daenerys’ and Jon’s storylines. Duty vs Heart. I do think there’s a decent chance for them to choose love, even tho it would probably be “too good” of an ending for GoT- like “they lived happily ever after”: so maybe they’d turn tragic like Lyanna and Rhaegar, idk. So I’d say maybe they’ll choose duty and that will split them up? And if that’s the case, well we know from their storylines, that Dany’s duties will be as a Queen, while Jon’s always lied elsewhere, dealing with things Kings and Queens didn’t bother to take seriously. I’m sorry to all their fans, but I think Bran’s voice being over their most intimate “love confirmation” scene, just kinda foreshadows the fact that they won’t just be a fairytale story that will end all good. I think they have more chances to be tragic, but I don’t think they’ll be separated by their claims over the Throne. They won’t fight over the Throne. But tbh as much as I don’t see that happening, I also don’t see Jon and Dany just shrug the incest reveal away and keep on being lovebirds in denial. I think it’ll hit them in their intimacy as people and not as Heirs, is what I mean. *shrugs* A very long answer, sorry. I probably rambled a lot. I think people are jumping to conclusion: even tho he’s Rhaegar’s son, Jon has no relationship to him and no ambition to claim it as any “legitimacy” at ending up on the Throne. To me, Jon has never been a character wanting power like this- several characters said, “Jon Snow is no King” or “Jon Snow doesn’t want to be King” and these are important traits of his character that won’t disappear just because he has a new daddy who would have sat on the Iron Throne in another reality (also let’s remember that Rhaegar REFUSED his place as Heir to the Throne, and that he left Westeros with Lyanna *shrugs*). To me, Rhaegar, Jaime and Jon are very similar characters, in that they’re mostly Knights and don’t thrive for power. Rhaegar already refused power. Jaime also did as an Heir to Casterly Rock. Daenerys, Sansa and Cersei are the ones who are similar to each others, on the other hand. All three were raised to be Queens. All three imagined themselves as Queens. Anyway, that’s my take on that, I think the fact that only the “legacy characters” (Sam and Bran: Sam wanting to be a Maester, and Bran being the Three-Eyed Raven) know about Jon’s real heritage, is also a big clue: that it’s not about the story, but more about the legacy of what will survive after the Winter, and what will become “History”, kinda. I mean, if you think about it, after Robert died, Ned could have come out with his bastard son and say “well he’s Rhaegar Targaryen’s son!”, I mean? He would have had Howland Reed to back him up. But he didn’t, because I don’t think it’s meant to make Jon into a “player” for the Throne. And I think Sam and Bran are the most loyal, selfless characters, who will accept Jon’s decision if he decides not to “come out” officially as Rhaegar Targaryen’s son and Heir to the Iron Throne. Did I end up answering the question? Idk, man. Sorry about all of this, lol…

For WIP Week

Abandoned idea from a few years ago, a melding of two of my favorite things, Buffy and Portal! Of the idea that the Initiative ships off some of its demons to Aperture. Because....reasons. Spike-centric (or, well, Spike-exclusive ). Very sloppy. Outline-quality, lots of meandering, unfinished, unpolished concepts. Riddled with editing notes. I didn’t even bother with capitalization. Still, there’s some fun stuff in here.

(I don’t care if anyone reblogs, just don’t put it on any of the aggregators, please. This is too rough drafty and embarrassing to be filed away as Content Worth Looking At.)

(captured by initiative again. s4 – s5. initiative shutting down, cementing off. exterminate all demons. riley pulls some strings to have spike shipped off instead of staked. the smallest of favors. i'm still on team riley-isn't-a-total-douchebag. he's aight.)

an hour later, spike and three of his ugliest friends are caged and carted into the back of a semi for a cross country drive across america's finest bypasses. through a hole in the wall watches steel and mortar slowly give off to rolling green-gold fields. teeny tiny farmsteads, clarkston and robin glen and with some disgust, notes the turnoff for a lake angelus, some thirty miles north of detroit.

(his initiative vamp neighbor, 90s grunge clothes, grunge name – trevor – fledge too young to drop game face.)

“christ, i heard about this place. some science lab in a salt mine underground. they say this place does weird experiments.”

met with deadpan, disbelieving stares, and a disgusted tsk from the blond lady-vamp, what's-her-face, something with calendars. april or may or half-past-eleven, day day day, sunday, right, that was it.

“they took my appendix, trevor.” sunday lifts her shirt, revealing a line of stitches, “for their mix-and-match potato head monster. what the hell is a frankenzombie going to do with a shriveled, century old organ? it doesn't even do anything. how is that not weird.”

“no man, I mean really, really weird. cross-dimensional travel, like stargate. bug people. turning your blood into gasoline.”

spike snorts. “I drive a '59 fireflite. gorgeous piece of machinery, but bollocks for mileage. single digits. could due for some petrol on tap.” sad, longing, separation anxiety. his desoto was 2200 miles away baking in the california sun. once he made his way back to the west coast, he'd find those military wankers for a dechipping, kill the whole lot of them, and piss on their corpses for good measure. then he'd book it to south america, away from scalpel-wielding lab jockeys, bouncy-haired slayers and the root of every major humiliation of his unlife over the past three years. bon-fucking-voyage.

ugly demon: “that's why you should switch to a hybrid. my prius gets great fuel economy.” how does a demon that big fit into a mid-size?

(ugly demon = horned, beastly. “your primitive human anatomy lacks the necessary mouthparts to vocalize my true name. what sort of creature only has one tongue? you may call me henrietta.”)

trevor is oblivious. “they were some respected science lab back in the sixties. now? when they're not making you test out their weird experimental products, they make you run through test courses, solve puzzles. and it's all orchestrated by this giant murderous robot. like HAL from space odyssey. once people go in, they're never heard from again. it's true. my cousin knew a guy who was there, he told me all about it.”

“if no one ever gets out, how the hell does your cousin know a guy, you stupid sod.”

trevor's fangs close with an audible click, and he sits sullen for the rest of the commute.

as it turns out, stupid sod and cousin-of-sod actually did know what they were talking about.

housed on the outskirts of a wheatfield, through a gated parking lot, innocuous brick building. on the loading dock, a hispanic man in blue work coveralls wheels a dolly into the back of the mac truck. looks at his living cargo with what spike considers to be an appalling lack of concern, considering the very blatant human trafficking unfolding before him.

“you're not the parts I ordered.” gruff texan drawl. yells to the front, “where are my chamber parts?”

driver swings around front, clutching a clipboard, hands it off. “friday, likely. this is your wednesday shipment.”

“these are people.” texas squints at array of annoyed, tired faces, takes in the gnarled brows, the shackles, and the powder blue scrubs, eyes finally settling on the barbed, hulking form of henrietta. “theoretically. why do I have a shipment of mangled faces, billy idol--”

“hey!”

“--and one-fifth of gwar? are we making a music video?”

the driver shrugs. “i just deliver. sign the thing.”

texas reads off the clipboard: “subject donation from sunnydale university. volunteers?”

“experimental lab rats,” trevor offers.

“prisoners,” spike corrects, growling. “this has got to be in violation of the...what's it? geneva convention. I feel unduly treated. I want an attorney. actual, not one of those 800-number infomercial suits. due my civil rights.”

texas blinks owlishly. “what civil rights? you're not even american.”

“i'm sorry, I didn't realize I needed to shit red, white and blue to not be accosted against my will.”

ignores bitching. “are you even human?” points at henrietta. “i don't think that's human.”

(“what multiverse are you lot from?”

“california.”

“huh. always had my suspicions.”)

he was hoping for an upgrade to trousers, denim, in a dark blue or black. maybe a pale wash if it had a grunge-enough look to it. what they gave him was a pair of coveralls in sunshiny bright incarceration orange, with lines of white piping tracing the seams and a stitching of black lettering across the breast pocket labeling him as HST0017. for fuck's sake.

“i'm not wearing this.”

“as soon as you pass through that emancipation grill, any unapproved paraphernalia is forfeit.”

“meaning what?”

“your current clothes will be emancipated. pffft! you could go naked, wouldn't be the first test streaker, but I gotta warn you, there's the acid pits, the gun turrets, and oh, the lasers. burns like a bitch, and that's not even touching the potential crotch-rotting radiation--”

“just give me the fucking jumpsuit.”

they surgically grafted a band of white metal to the back of his shins, where a long curved spring of steel could be notched, lifting his feet into a painful arch, weight balanced on his toes. he was suddenly that much more impressed with the slayer and her preference for fighting evil in teetering heels, which did wonders for making her teeny weeny hobbit legs look elegant but offered only a promise of scuffed heels and snapping ankles in grave dirt. angelus-grade torture, he decided, hobbling awkward and bird-like from one side of his little glass prison to the other.

he found the entire affair ludicrous, demeaning, and oh, stupid, until he witnessed another test subject slip on a slick of orange goo and nosedive off a platform, pancaking wetly across the tile in a display of hilarious cartoon physics. it was admittedly very, very funny, and funnier still watching jaded custodians squeegee up the red smear that used to be a person, but not something he was looking to experience himself first hand.

“you know, I can see the upside of not doing my best wile e. coyote impression,” he groused, “but you should really have these things in boot form.” shifting uncomfortably as the screws in his knees creaked, puckered and itched.

rick looks at him, surprised. “that's.....that's an idea. we'll take that into consideration.”

(aaaaaaand a jump to the P2 section. slightly better quality, a little less outline-ish. tho very stream-of-consciousness)

waking up with a dry mouth, mouth full of cotton, mouth full of fluffy biker beard, and where had that image come from? like all the moisture had been sucked from the room, stale recycled air like new car smell and musk. where is here? bed, desk, dinged up dresser, ceiling-mounted tv, blacked out and coated in dust. walls decorated with murals of snowy mountains and ski lodges, tacky thrift store oil paintings. the bed he's laying on has a threadbare blue hospital blanket, and a man-shaped crater pressed into the mattress, like a police chalk outline with serious gravity. motel room? UGLY motel room. there's no windows in the room, just slated blinds stretching the length of one wall.

can't move, groggy, wet limp noodle muscles, the dead waking. stares down the length of his body. dressed like a petrol station attendant, orange jumpsuit rolled mid-shin, legs bony and corpse-white. wow, seriously overdue for a date with mr. sunshine.

figure out the who the what and the why after he quenched this sahara on his tongue. room to the left of the bed, loo, good, yes. force himself to move, up and over, muscles clenching in rebellion, stumble over with white white legs buckling like a newborn deer. sink, yes, water churned and choked god why is it taking so long finally sputters out, drinks and drinks tinny tap water until he feels like he's going to burst. sates the fire in his mouth but not the thirst, the hunger, god what is that?

looks up in the dark of the bathroom into the mirror, and sees nothing, just dingy white tile where his face should be. huh. well that's just... different. it's unnatural, he knows, because hello, does still remember how a mirror works, even if he can't remember much of anything else. experiments, lifts the crusty dry slab of soap and watches its reflection bob phantom-like in mid-air. right, so, the mirror isn't broken, just him. but it doesn't feel wrong, like somehow he's just used to staring at empty space in the mirror.

what the hell is he?

sits back on the bed, hands clenching knees.

beyond the doorway, he expects a hallway, maybe, decked out in the same mottled 70s look his room is themed, or a carpark dotted with out of state license plates and neglected marquee signage. but there's no cars, no buildings, no outside. just a massive storehouse, stretching up and out beyond what he can see, dimly lit by flickering yellow halogen. snaking lines of track above his head following the catwalk he's standing on, weaving between towers of grafted metal and grey-green storage units stacked like legos. huge. massive. his own room was in a storage box, labeled next to the door.

test subject packed on 11/17/1999 EXP: indefinite ADT SLM M SHRT

short? was he short? well sure maybe by comparison of the super humongous warehouse he was stored in. not a very helpful selection of information, most of which he had already established. a picture would be helpful. a name. a passport. a blockbuster rewards card. literally any brand of identity.

goes back in, shuffling about, looking for something he's not aware of yet. there's a pad of paper in the desk and a cheap ballpoint pen. picks up the pen, but it feels awkward and childish gripped in his hand. moment of panic that he's illiterate, until he swaps the pen to his left. it feels much more natural.

--mirror challenged. am a ghost? --left-handed. evil ghost? --posh penmanship though --orange is not my color --i could do for a tan

pauses thoughtfully.

--who the fuck am i

sound of screeching metal and cracking drywall, urban destruction at its finest. implied shortness a sudden and unexpected gift as something ghosts over his head, ruffling his hair, clipped english accent as a storage crate cranes above him: “--ten thousand flippin' vegetables--” carves a winding trail of destruction as it tears through crates and cables and catwalks before finally coming to an explosive stop, half buried in the far wall.

his own crate tips, agonizingly slow with groaning whale song of careening metal, before momentum and gravity takes it for its own. crash bang boom, gaudy motel mountain ski lodge avalanches into another stack of crates, creating a domino effect. check-out achieved, in more ways than one. leaves him stranded on a creaking catwalk with no more than an ugly jumpsuit, a pad of paper, and more questions then before. he left the pen on the bed. bugger.

picks a direction and walks. periodically checks crates. like his own, all decked out like vintage motels, oil crusted murals and tacky faux-wood paneling. and on every bed is a person. all coated in a fine layer of dust, gray-skin, perfectly preserved but very, very dead. room after room. men, women, children. old young tall short fat skinny. a varied collection of corpses lined up like sleeping porcelain dolls. flippin' vegetables, indeed.

turns a corner and comes face-to-cornea with a massive metal eyeball. yells in surprise. the eyeball screams, then rears back on the rail suspending it. in its backwards attempt at escape, cracks into a closed door where the rail vanishes, and stirs woozily on its axis.

“what's that then. you alright?” he asks, cringing even as he speaks. it feels more obligate social politeness than actual concern; he honestly could not give one flying fuck about its condition. beyond that, asking a metal eyeball of its well-being seems ridiculous, even in light of this entire weird situation, but it—he—chuckles nervously, looking all at once embarrassed and grateful for the inquiry. an impressive emotive feat, considering he's lacking the other 95% of his face.

“sorry, sorry! you startled me! wasn't expecting a human to come waltzing out of nowhere, considering all of them are dead. corpses usually aren't so ambulatory.” the glowing iris slits to a suspicious blue line. “though in your particular case--”

“you're bristonian,” he says, realization dawning.

“no,” the eyeball chided slowly, with a patronizing squint, “i'm a robot.”

“your accent. you talk like you're from bristol. bristonian.” stubbornly. not getting into an argument with a fucking metal orb. “i heard you speak before, back in that warehouse. you're the one who almost ran me down with a crane. who taught you to drive, mr. magoo?”

“hey now! how about some leeway? bit of a limb deficiency here.” the robot waggles its handlebars in demonstration. “i haven't exactly mastered the art of ten-and-two.” sudden realization: “say, you talk like me! i'd say we came from the same development wing, but that's unlikely, you being organic and all that.”

did he now? that hadn't even occurred to him.

he weighs the language on his tongue, the thoughts in his head, parsing through words, foods, spellings, culture. carparks and car boots, wheatabix, man-u, european craft beers, and a strange smug superiority over chirpy, obnoxious californian twang. and of course, a beautiful array of curse words rolling fluid off his tongue. “bloody hell, sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks – oh god, you're right, i'm english too.”

he was a londoner, his accent said as much, though with a sort of languid, unpolished quality that came from excessive travel and extended exile from the mother country. he hadn't been home for a long time. expat? study abroad? he didn't feel like a student, well past adolescence, but he didn't feel like much at all, beyond hopelessly confused.
