my science teacher's least favorite element is beryllium because it killed her dad

that's not one of the elements that usually kills people

(Based on facts: story, vignettes, and voice lines - his and other characters' - not just my headcanons)

Serious about his intentions Sebek is deeply committed. You'll never feel insecure about your future together.

Loyal. Insanely Loyal. You can feel 100% secure in this relationship. Sebek would never cheat or give you any reason to doubt his loyalty.

Clear communicator He expresses his thoughts and feelings clearly (some might say boldly). He simply doesn't want to leave room for doubt, so you won't have to worry about "hidden meanings" or "unsaid innuendos".

Supportive Yes, in a… Sebek kind of way, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. But if you're okay with his style of communication - or grow to appreciate it - you'll find him to be an incredibly supportive partner. He'll cheer you on, motivate you, and give you pep talks when you're feeling down.

Strong and protective As a personal guard to Malleus Draconia, Sebek is in peak physical condition, and now that strength is dedicated to protecting you. He might encourage you to train as well, but only because he cares about your health and wants you to feel strong too.

Romantic Beneath his loud, tsundere exterior, Sebek is a true romantic at heart. Expect love letters, flowers, dreamy walks in nature - and even horseback rides under the moonlight. Just not too often.

Well-read and educated Sebek excels academically and dedicates a lot of his free time to personal reading. Contrary to popular belief, he can talk about much more than just Malleus. Start a discussion about a book he's read or his favorite dish, and you'll see just how captivating and engaging he can be. *He's also invested in your personal growth, so expect plenty of book recommendations and possibly shared reading or study sessions.

Caring and attentive His training has made him highly vigilant, and he applies this attentiveness to his everyday life. Sebek notices every small detail about you - your mood, your state, your preferences. He'll go out of his way to make you comfortable and avoid anything that might upset you.

Resourceful Sebek's training from a young age included surviving harsh conditions and mastering all kinds of weapons. In a crisis, you can count on him to keep you safe and handle any challenge.

Extra

Family man Sebek comes from a happy, loving, and big family, which has subconsciously set an example in his mind of what a family should be. Plus, you'll gain lots of adorable relatives!

Dental perks This might not seem important, but his dad is a dentist. So, in addition to all his other qualities, you'll also have perfect teeth - no small benefit considering how expensive dental care is these days! :)

Baby Zenos being curious of everything means Atticus can't skip out on tuning anymore and Solus gets extra hands for some of his tools.

vibrating with sadness because uranium is only thought of the bad boy boom boom element… pre WWII and everything uranium was used as a colorant to dye cheap glassware, depression era glassware was mass produced and accessible to people even during the economic depression, and was often the only beautiful thing people could afford, it was even given out free at movie theaters! anyways it’s still just as beautiful now and I collect it and it’s marvelous behold

ooh glow-y

disappointed papa armin

More like disappointed in (my) lack of papamin propaganda? Sorry anon, I'll get around to it, atm I'm so tired i can't even feel my extremities lmao.

On the whole tho, I think Armin as a parent would be equal parts lax and equal parts strict. The former because he'll probably want his kids (coughcough DAUGHTERS coughcough) to grow up as freely as possible, doing all kinds of stupid, kid things. The strictness would come as a kind of way to keep them healthily in check, like staying away from fistfights and avoiding unethical practices... (He's done enough unethical things to last generations, his children don't need to contribute 🥲 or something)

But he'd be pretty much chill and relaxed most of the time, humouring his kids' slightly fucked up interests like how interspecies mating works or some shit, welp. Getting him disappointed would be somewhat an achievement (and not a good sign).

Actually no, he'd get so sad he'd cry, and make everyone else cry because papamin is crying *sigh*

"communicate or break up" is the known standard relationship advice that aros usually give to others when asked, and the fact that caseys go-to resolution for her own relationship problems is to communicate and solve misunderstandings while ludgers go-to resolution for his is to break up at the very first opportunity is very funny to me.

people really do not know what they're talking about when it comes to Elizabeth Woodville's social status, huh?

I guess this is a matter of personal taste, but, apropos of BATMAN: TAS and its unwelcome latter-day revival, I *hate* "aesthetic" pseudo-retro settings. If you want to do a period piece, do a period piece, but don't half-ass it (looking at you, Mark Russell), and if you want to do an AU, give some real thought to where and how it diverged and what that affected. Historical fiction is a lot of work, but if you don't like it, no one says you gotta do it — if all you really want is to have some characters dressed in vintage clothes and driving old cars, just do that, rather than this noncommittal "It's like the '30s, or maybe the '50s, except there's no racism or sexism and the computers are from the '90s" bullshit.

Part of my problem with that kind of Aesthetic Nostalgia setting is that it ends up being a fairly short walk from nostalgic AU to people mistaking it for actual history to fashy RETVRN propaganda. This has happened before: For instance, rise of Reagan-era neoconservatism was closely tied to '50s nostalgia, as exemplified by the rediscovery (on cable and syndication) of '50s TV shows like FATHER KNOWS BEST and LEAVE IT TO BEAVER, where Black people didn't exist except maybe for the occasional funny maid and married couples slept in separate beds. This was fiction even when those shows were originally on the air, but the Baby Boom generation (the bulk of whom were very young children in the fifties) really latched onto the idea that fifties TV represented some kind of true depiction of a prelapsarian era of squeaky-clean Traditional Values, where LGBT people and people of color (particularly Black people) hadn't yet been invented (or at least Knew Their Place, Unlike Today's Decadent Corruption). We're still paying for that.

If your highest aesthetic aspiration is to outfit all the characters in your story in authentic 1955 Dior A-line dresses, go with g*d, but don't tell me your story is set in the '50s, or even the pseudo-alt-50s, if you're not willing to do the work.

Yotasuke Takahashi - Blue Period

Propaganda:

Art prodigee that doesn't want and have difficulty making friends. Definitely has gifted child syndrome and a few mental illness. He's also very agressive toward the main character and it's very gay
