Hello! May I request a ff about chrizzMD where y/n participated in the 20v1 and everything kept going wrong for her but somehow she managed to win or something like that? Thank you very much x
I really enjoyed writing this. If anyone wants a sequel with their first date let me know
20vs1 ChrisMD
When Y/N saw the tweet that the one, the only ChrisMD was taking applications for a football themed 20v1 she immediately thought about entering. She had a following, it wasn't huge by any means, about 75k subscribers where she did book reviews and some travel to different destinations and attractions like odd museums, places off the beaten path. It was enough to make a living and that was enough for her, knowing not everyone achieves major success but she could do what she loved and paid the bills so she liked her life.
One of y/n's worst personality traits was her indecisiveness, she liked the thought of doing the video, it could be fun and of course she thought Chris was a very attractive man but on the other hand what if she made a fool out of herself? She went back and forth about this for days, it was her friends who eventually convinced her it would be a good opportunity. It was only when she had filled in the application and sent it off that she realised she was one day over the deadline.
“Fuck,” she said to herself when she read the line again and cursed her indecisiveness again. She pushed it all to the back of her mind however and once again just concentrated on her content, using a random number generator to chose the order of the five books she had just purchased to review.
To her surprise one day y/n received an email to the account she used for professional matters, when she looked at the address of the person who sent it her heartbeat quickened, she could feel it beating hard through her chest, it was from ChrisMD. She went to click on it quickly and in her haste clicked on the one wrong email at first, but she found the right link and read the words, trying to keep calm.
Dear y/n Thank you for your interest in the latest 20v1 video. We had more applications than we thought so firstly we would like to thank you for your patience while we went through them all. We didn’t expect the response we received and are sad we cannot have everyone in the video we would like to. However we would love to have you participate in the video, please respond to this email if you are free to film next week Thursday and we will give you further information and instructions. ChrisMD and his team.
The message was professional and a little cooperate but y/n had to real in her excitement, this was a video for content and Chris probably wasn’t truly looking for love in a video, then again who knows what would happen.
The day of the shoot y/n was incredibly nervous. She walked onto the pitch and met all of the other girls, Chris’s producer Jamie introduced himself to everyone and explained what was going to happen for the first round. The weather wasn’t great, it was grey and cloudy which wasn’t too unusual for London, everyone just hoped it wouldn’t start to rain.
“Oh my God there’s Chris!” A girl with an American accent enthusiastically shouted, y/n looked over and there was the small curly haired man, taking a seat next to Calfreezy and ArthurTV. Y/N had to admit that although she did find Chris attractive he was much, much more attractive in person than he was in photos, he seemed quite relaxed as he laughed at something Arthur had said. The girls were all lined up, y/n was firmly in the middle of the pack.
The first challenge was to go up and introduce yourself, you were to say a pick up line and then try and score a goal. Y/N watched on as she saw her fellow competitors go bye and soon enough it was her turn.
“Okay Chris next up this is y/n,” Jamie said off camera knowing this would be edited out of the video, the girl walked in front of the table and had a small nervous smile on her lips.
“Hello y/n how are you?” Chris asked smiling and nodding at the girl in front of him. She smiled and swept her hand through her high ponytail.
“I’m good how are you guys?” Her voice came out a little more high pitched than usual but at least it wasn’t shaky.
“Good thanks, so when you’re ready.”
“Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again wearing my Arsenal Jersey?” Y/N said, and Chris laughed a little bit, ArthurTV however wasn’t as impressed.
“Then why didn’t you just wear an Arsenal top?” The brunette asked, a confused yes slightly mischievous look on his face.
“Actually yeah!” Chris laughed along with his friend. Y/N looked down at her England top and panicked slightly, fumbling over her words.
“It’s the Euro’s I’m being patriotic,” she replied hurried.
“Fair enough, kick the ball when you’re ready.” Chris could tell the poor girl was really nervous, he had gone through all of the applications and knew a small bit about all of the girls there, he knew this wasn’t the usual type of content y/n was used to so understood her nerves, he wanted to make sure at least the girls all had a great time regardless. Y/N took a deep breath before running up to the ball, kicking it with her right foot she looked and put her hands on each of her cheeks when she saw it slam into the post on the right hand side.
“Unlucky! But you seem really sweet so I’m going to put you through to the next round,” Chris said, his hands clapped together in his usual way whenever he spoke in videos.
“Thanks!” Y/N replied and skipped a little when she went back to the waiting area to watch the rest of the girls.
The next segment was taking free kicks. Something y/n wasn’t looking forward to too much, she wasn’t much as footballer, she instead used to do dance and gymnastics when she was younger so the complete opposite end of the spectrum to football.
“Any tips?” Y/N as she placed the ball in the spot. “Just run up and follow through with your foot, like one swift movement,” Chris coached y/n nodded before muttering to herself. “I’m going to hit someone,” when the eventual video was released this utterance was clipped three times, which could only mean that her foresight was unfortunately correct. She had a good run up but looked in horror as the ball span and landed straight into Arthur’s face.
“OH MY GOD I AM SO SO SORRY!!!!” Y/N exclaimed through her hands which were over her mouth in shock. Both Chris and Freezy of course found this hilarious and Chris couldn’t stop laughing at the sight of his friend now rolling around on the floor.
“I am really am sorry,” the girl said over and over again as she walked over to the injured party.
“That was amazing, for nearly decapitating ArthurTV you’re through,” Chris stated clapping his hands in amusement.
“This is going to go on the shorts channel isn’t it?” Y/N replied blushing as she walked away, causing further laughs from Chris and Freezy. Round three was a talent round. Instead of doing something she did usually y/n decided to learn a new skill, she had spent hours and hours learning to juggle.
“Oh no she’s got more boys, quick everyone duck!” Arthur joked when y/n walked up.
“I’ll stand far away enough so no one should get hurt this time,” the girl explained. She started off well, juggling the three red balls with ease, that was until she dropped them, cursing as she did.
“At least I didn’t hit anyone this time,” she said sheepishly.
“You know what, I’m going to put you through to the final round,” Chris said with a smug smile on his face, y/n was as shocked as anyone and thanked Chris before calming herself. The last portion was a chat with Chris, Arthur and Cal. Y/N sat down saying hello again.
“So, you hit the bar, hit Arthur in the face, dropped your balls and you’re still here,” Cal started off the conversation.
“I know I can’t believe it!”
“He must really want to shag you,” Arthur added and the girl sat there open mouthed and Chris places his head in his head.
“Fuck sake,” the curly haired man uttered.
“I have had a shocker though, and I was late getting my application in. I must seem really scatty but I promise I’m organised,” y/n defended herself and Chris nodded.
“Give me some book recommendations,” Chris asked looking into y/n’s eyes. They were green with flakes of brown throughout, Chris loved how unique they looked.
“The ministry of time is a great escapism if that’s the kind of thing you’re looking for,”
“I am always looking to escape the intrusive thoughts,” Chris revealed and y/n couldn’t help but agree while feeling her heart a little.
“I get that too, but books are a great escape.” The talk they had wasn’t too humorous but it was deep and real and meaningful, as much as a five minute conversation could be. The final girls lines up, the three hosts looking over towards the two finalists. Chris had his hands clasped together as he faced the women.
“Well it’s been a fierce competition and you both did amazingly well but my winner and unfortunately a date with me is, y/n! congratulations!” Y/N smiled in shock and hugged her opponent. She ten made her way over to Chris and for the video they held hands and looked back towards the camera but both y/n and Chris felt a little thump when their hands intertwined. After the shoot y/n held back at Chris’s request, he had his phone in his hand and a sweet smile on his face.
“Thank you so much for coming. I know it was a video but if you did want to go on that date for real then I’ll be happy to,” Chris asked a little shaky. Y/N smiled and nodded.
“I’d love to.”

Hey RBS.. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead. Do you think Globalfever fansite is being managed directly by someone from GG/DD’s team. Many a times I wonder how that site able to get tickets to all of our boys events and capture such close up candid shots of GGDD unless she is part of their inner circle?
Example today - https://weibo.com/7320958826/OydEkDN0w
not sure if it’s original or edited.. from that video it looks like XZ acknowledged her words of Jiayou and bye bye
Hi Natashayishan, thanks! I hope you're well, and that you have a wonderful week too! 😊
Here's the video for those who don't have access to Weibo.
To answer this question I'm going to start by explaining a bit of background about fansites and how they function (I'm by no means an expert, but here's my understanding of how it all works).
Part 1 - Fansites in General
There has been a lot of talk about fansites over the years, and some have faced accusations, criticisms, confusion, suspicions, theories both positive and negative for a very long time. I think they're largely misunderstood by a lot of fans.
For example, it's not uncommon for people to believe fansites are stalkers, or that they shamelessly profit from the unauthorized use of a star's image or footage, or that they're organizations that exist for the purpose of exploiting stars.
This isn't really how it works at all. In general, a fansite is just one fan who follows a star's career and enjoys sharing photos and videos they take of that star. Plain and simple. Some fansites involve more than one person, but most are just made up of individuals.
Yes, they sometimes make money selling photo books and other merch, but that money tends to go back into supporting the star -buying endorsement products, arranging events and giveaways, buying or upgrading equipment needed to create fansite content (cameras, computer equipment, software), paying for tickets (many of which are overpriced reseller tickets) and travel/accommodations to attend events, etc.
It might seem glamorous - and there's undeniably a glamorous aspect to it - but to me it looks very stressful, like a huge headache. These fans generally have their own lives and careers outside of fandom, so coordinating everything, waiting in lines, standing in the rain outside appearances and events, not to mention the pressure to attend events and post regular updates, and all the haters and antis they are constantly dealing with, the amount of stress and frustration they deal with must be immense.
It's a lot of work, and for this reason, fansites don't always stay fansites. Some retire as their real life interests and obligations shift. One of my favorite GGDD fansites - Midnight Dream - retired a few years ago. 😢
Fansites are an important part of any celebrity's support system. While no - they aren't part of a celebrity's team or on their payroll, they do play a huge part in helping to bring attention to a star and build buzz around them, their projects, their appearances, events and other activities.
If you want an analogy that might help it make more sense to you, just look at some of the sports fans across the globe who will follow all the matches, follow team developments, team picks, managers and training, and share all that info on blogs, podcasts or dedicated sports fan sites.
This is very similar. They're just really dedicated fans who build a following by being where we can't be, and sharing their experiences so that we can feel like we were there, too.
And they provide the fans and the stars an immense, immeasurable service IMHO, despite what we might agree or disagree with about the way fandom culture works. The content they capture and share is almost always far more intimate (generally without being invasive), and of a far higher quality than that of the professionals hired to cover these events on behalf of media agencies and management.
Fansites do get some official support from time to time. For example, there are events where fansites can get approval - almost like a press pass or a security pass - to attend and be in certain locations within or near facilities to take photographs, video, etc., but they are not hired or compensated by the star or their team.
A lot of it is also largely unknown/unknowable, so it's hard to be sure of the details. There are always going to be rumors and claims. For example, there have been claims that during SDOC Yibo was allowed to invite 4 fansites to come to the finale, and of the 4, he chose 3 BXG fansites and only one solo site. I haven't seen proof of that, but the claim was making the rounds a lot at the time.
One thing we do know - he chose a fansite photo to give to Yangkai when he was courting him to join his team in season 4. (Of course, solos made a huge stink and Youku ended up editing the footage to remove the photo, but we saw what we saw).
There are other examples of GG and DD interacting with or showing acceptance of their BXG fansites. I started looking for some references and then realized it was not something I have time for or interest in. I'm not here to give a comprehensive analysis anyway, I'm just here to give a simple-ish answer to your question. If others want to discuss that in the notes, that's fine.
So, hopefully some of that background info will have answered parts of your question, and gives you more tools to evaluate things on your own moving forward.
Part 2 - Global Fever
As for Global Fever specifically, well... Global Fever is one of the most treasured BXG in the entire fandom. This dedicated fan has been following GG and DD BOTH, since they debuted. She is more than just a CP fan, she's been a supporter of their individual careers since day 1.
Yes, since back when Yibo was still the White Peony.
She became a CP fan in the natural way - by seeing her faves work together on The Untamed, by watching them interact and by following them and their careers. No, she doesn't work for their teams (they both have dedicated teams of their own, and they don't need to pay fansites who - after all - will do this stuff for free). It's just that she's recognizable to GG and DD because she's been a fixture in their lives for so many years.
And this is something solos need to get their heads around: BXG are fans too. I think there's this conceit among solos that THEY'RE GG and DD's fans and BXG are something else, but in reality (and, no doubt, in the eyes of GG and DD) BXG are their fans too.
Never could that be more apparent than when a dedicated fan like Global Fever jiejie is calling 'Zhanzhan, jiayou!' and 'byebye!' as he's boarding an elevator on the way to the stage. Of course GG recognized her and smiled at her. Of course.

How Much Do Systems Matter?
This post is directly inspired by the video "You shouldn't use DnD for narrative campaigns." by Questing Beast (aka Ben Milton) about the Polygon article "Worlds Beyond Number is teaching me things that no D&D book can" by Charlie Hall.
The video and article basically posit the following:
TTRPGs can use concretely designed procedures for certain types of challenges and scenarios while having much looser procedures for other types of challenges or scenarios
Just because a TTPRG has less thorough rules on a type of challenge or scenario than a different RPG tackling the same subject matter doesn't automatically make the former worse at being used for these scenarios than the latter
Depending on the preferences of the table, having a robust mechanical framework for one element of gameplay while lacking that for other types of gameplay may be preferrable than having robust mechanical frameworks for both
Having distinct game mechanics for narrative progression and character interactions is uncommon in D&D and derived games, but is very common in story games, e.g. most Powered by the Apocalypse games.
The Polygon article includes this quote by Worlds Beyond Number's Brennan Lee Mulligan: "[People say that] because D&D has so many combat mechanics, you are destined to tell combat stories. I fundamentally disagree. Combat is the part I’m the least interested in simulating through improvisational storytelling. So I need a game to do that for me, while I take care of emotions, relationships, character progression, because that shit is intuitive and I understand it well. I don’t intuitively understand how an arrow moves through a fictional airspace."
This intuitive knowledge on handling emotional beats, narrative, and characters of course stems from years of experience Brennan has as a writer, actor, improv teacher, comedian, camp counsellor, and professional TTRPG GM and player.
Using Ron Edwards design language (s. his 1999 essay "System Does Matter"), Brennan wants to run primarily narrativist games, while 5e would fit Edwards' idea of a Gamist system, i.e. one which involves the pursuit of "winning" against NPCs.
Now let's look at 5e: it's generally agreed upon that 5e is opinionated on combat, while also being vocal that exploration and social encounters, while less fleshed-out, are still part of its pillars alongside combat, meaning the game is still encouraging you to pursue these types of play.
Combat is a very fleshed-out series of systems. The action system is centered on combat, both in terms of time and types. Spellcasting is very distinct and allows for casting mostly offensive or defensive spells. Class progression usually focuses on improving one's combat capabilities.
Exploration and social interactions are much more bare-bones.
On the social side, a few more recent supplements have reintroduced the classic Attitude table present in earlier editions and which are a mainstay of the OSR community. Additionally the DMG spends merely three pages on how to run NPCs, mostly using fairly general advice instead of concrete game mechanics. Interaction between player characters is also barely discussed in 5e rules.
Exploration is similarly simple, mostly related to the omnipresent but simple skill system, as well as some relatively simple rules on weather, hazards, overland travel speed, and tracking rations.
5e's shift towards simplified rules for these two pillars, including simplifying the skill system into a mostly binary failure-success affair is a shift away from earlier D&D editions and some of its direct competitors, e.g. Pathfinder, Rolemaster, GURPS, and The Dark Eye, which often would involve subsystems for various aspects of social or exploratory encounters, s. Edwards' "System does Matter" essay and his point on simulationist games.
So if Brennan wants to run a narrative game where we can realiably use his knowledge of narratives and character writing to create a compelling story while having a set system as his backup to run situations where violence becomes a factor... Using a game like 5e is a decent choice.
Of course other systems might be even better for that. Shadowdark for example may just be the perfect fit for someone wanting to run a narrative game with occasional combat. The combat rules are thorough enough to cover the fundamentals. Sure, you may just need to get rid of real-time torches, the key mechanic which sets Shadowdark apart from other OSR games, but subtracting a mechanic, instead of modifying it, is a relatively uninvasive procedure.
Personally I too like it when my TTRPG, especially stuff intended for medium- or long-term play, doesn't touch social and narrative elements much mechanically.
Meanwhile games like Ironsworn and Heart - The City Below, which are much more narrative-focused, do have issues where their resolution mechanics clash with the fiction in ways that would pull be out of the story we're trying to tell. Heart has the issue with the Supplies resistance not being shared within the group, and Ironsworn's fulfillment of vows can be glacially slow (s. A. A. Voigt's "Ironsworn: A Narrative Dilemma" video essay).
Ultimately, it all comes down to preference. Personally, if I wanted to run a fantasy game with magic and a strong narrative (like Worlds Beyond Number), with the clear goal of not getting bogged down in combat or minis, I'd legit use Shadowdark as described above. If I knew I wanted to tell a specific type of story and knew of a game that was designed for these types of stories, I'd definitely give it a read and talk about it with my players before we adopt it.
However, I do implore folks to not Ship of Theseus a game with tons of homebrew and houserules so that it's no longer recognizable as its original game. If you ever feel compelled to do that, ask other players what systems might be a better fit for your needs.

More No Storm but Vertin has a Time Traveling Arcanum Content
Inaccurately Named Modern AU
* Apeiron
I think with like knowledge and math becoming more accessible sooo many people in Apeiron would go to the outside world to share their knowledge because 77 (37s mom) showed that even the people most faithful to their school of thought are interested in calculation machines. Give them Mathway.com and people would lose their minds.
6 would be a professional gamer. In fact he’d take so well to modern society that he’d be one of those people thriving in the 2020 lockdown and being away from Apeiron. Afterwards he’d also recover fast and put daily walks into his schedule or something cause he knows how badly his physical would’ve gotten. 6 would have an Instagram that’s the weirdest thing ever. People use it as inspiration for arg characters because he unintentionally posts with the vibe of someone extremely inhuman, and even though with the internet most humans would be aware of nonhuman arcanist they’d still be like what… There’s several video essays breaking down theories on who or what he might be. On the other side his posts are all pictures of objects he sees on daily walks that he sees have interesting dimensions to them or placement in a scene. The issue is that he doesn’t give any preamble or context to his math like 210 who wants to share math with the world would, or 37 who genuinely wants to teach, he just drops it in the caption and closes the app. He’d also have a YouTube explaining how he wins matches with others and insane speedrun content and how he beats games in under three minutes in extremely stupid calculations and exploits. His uploads are once in a blue moon but he’s a really popular faceless YouTuber (unlike 37 he reads comments and thinks about the questions he gets a lot, and even answers them in other videos). Also his like daily wanderings until he wants to go back home and risk interaction with others.
37 would get ahold of the internet like fish to water. She’d be an early YouTuber on 6’s recommendation and get super popular without realizing it. Her upload schedule is a “think of something start recording it and post with little to no editing” kinda style that for her ends up being 6-12 videos per week. 37 probably wouldn’t even realize there’s a comment section but Sophia knows it. Sometimes she’ll relay the comments to her from fans if they’re questions or constructive, but she mostly keeps them for herself because she’s happy 37 is branching out even if she isn’t entirely meaning too. I think 37’s content is a personality type. She’s giving constructive lessons that are informative but her personality and voice made her gain an audience mostly there to listen to her as background noise while she does homework. She does have a very loyal core audience of economists and radiologists since the topic she circles back around to the most is patterns in the weather and how they can be applied to daily life. Her most viewed video would be a super complicated explanation on how to predict when the next storm will happen in your area, and the top comment is a link to a website where someone made it into a calculator (it works with like a 5% chance of error). Also fun fact Vertin tried to use it once and the website was down for a week after she tried it. Sophia would have more kids centered content. Her follower base would mostly be parents who sit their kids in front of an iPad during work, but heavily monitoring their internet use and want them to watch content that’s good for them. She’d be faceless but unintentionally blow up super hard for story reading content, and her process for making up original stories. Afterwards she’d take a huge social media break entirely, only helping 37 with hers before slowly going back to her usual audiobook content with locked comments.
On that note, it’s slightlyyyy canon based, but I also think 210 would become good friends with Sweetheart after the island opened up and he reached out to her through Pandora to be their liaison. They’d do a ton of promotions and fashion statements. 210 already has an established interest in beauty, arts, and how they tie to math, and Sweetheart as a person who’s mathematically perfect would be his best excuse to study arts. Then Sweetheart would enjoy the company of any asexual, especially if they’re good for her image, and 210 is genuinely there to vibe and enjoy the beauty of the world. I also feel like he’d have one of those instagrams where he’s super popular for his looks but vast majority of his posts are sky pics and pictures of flora he sees.
I think in the story Sweetheart and Pandora are already on pretty good terms but I think in a Modern!Twist AU Pandora would be even more active in her writing. I think she’d have a small but famous journalism company where she employs only those she deems have a fresh perspective in a way she can’t supply. I talk about it in my other post, but Marcus interns there after getting an associates degree journalism during her dual enrollment and finishing Highschool. 210 and her run top series in UTTU for numbers and art analysis in a way people hadn’t thought of before, and Marcus runs a deep dive on historical spaces and the hidden stories within them.
UTTU would sometimes have interview segments where guest slots of an employee’s choosing (approved of by Pandora) will get a special feature. Windsong is the most reoccurring interviewee alongside Vila for research papers in ley lines and ecosystem observations respectively. Both are very popular features every time due to how they provide perspective on Marcus’ and 210’s segments.

~Haiykuu Head Cannons: Karasuno Edition~
Hinata
He’s actually a really good dancer. If he didn’t discover that tiny giant video, he would become a professional dancer. Besides volleyball, he does dance on the side, but he keeps it a secret from his friends and the team. The only people that know are his family and Takedai-senpai because he walked in on him once. Hinata thought he was alone, and he did a short and quick dance, but Takeda-sensei came in early and caught him. He did promise not to tell anyone about Hinata's begging. He would also have a secret TikTok account that he would post dancing videos to, and he would post his own original videos and K-Pop dance routines.
Kagayama
He would babysit his little cousins and younger family members and he’s actually really good at it. He keeps it a secret because he's scared Tsukishima might make fun of him. He would babysit either on weekends or on vacations like Golden Week or Summer/Winter breaks. He never thought of having kids in the future but after babysitting he might rethink it.
Daichi
He used to be a chubby baby. He lost most of his weight during middle school and doesn’t even remember being chubby. He found out when Suga and Ashai came over for the first time to his house and his mother was there and she showed them Daichis baby pictures. The three boys were all shocked when he saw that Daichi was a pretty chubby baby and ever since that day Suga and Ashai would make fun of him. They didn’t mean it of course but Daichi always prayed that no one else finds out, not because he’s ashamed, it’s because he doesn’t want it to be such a big thing.
Suga
He can bake. His mother would teach him how to bake when he was younger and he still does it to this day. Everyone on the team knows about it, including Ukai and Takeda-sensei and he would bring in baked treats once and a while for them. The only downfall is he doesn’t know how to make a certain dessert which is flan. He always wanted to learn how to make it because it wasn’t native to Japan but he never got the hang of it. It pissed him off a lot but the team always gives him support with the whole thing, making Suga try and try again but always failing at the end. On an upper note, Suag is an expert in making red velvet cupcakes which are his favorites.
Asahi
He can play the electric guitar. Asahi had a slight emo phase and he bought himself an electric guitar and he learned it pretty quickly. He used to play it everyday during the night but after he joined volleyball he really didn’t have time to play that much anymore. It stayed in his room collecting dust and he honestly forgot about it but he got asked about it by Noya and he decided to find it…and sell it for some money to put towards college.
Nishinoya
He watches every Gordan Ramsey show. Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmare, Hotel Hell, EVERYTHING! He binge watches them and he would quote the man randomly in some situations. He knows nothing about cooking though but he does know how to run a kitchen and how idiotic people can be with their jobs. He’s always wanted to meet the man but he is also too scared to have a convo with him because he doesn’t want to get yelled at.
Tanaka
He wants to travel the world. After high school, he wants to travel out of Japan and go visit America. He wanted to buy a vacation home in one of the states and travel again to visit some other Asian countries like Korea, China, and India. England, Greece, and Rome are also on the list but he wants to visit those with Kiyoko. He thinks it would be a romantic trip for the both of them and he mainly wants to impress her.
Tsukishima
He has never eaten candy. His parents wanted him to grow up healthy which meant getting him used to healthy foods. They didn’t let him eat anything sweet or with too many calories and only gave him foods with high nutrition and protein. There were never any chocolates or candies in the house as he was growing up and now that he’s older, he isn’t fond of sweets. He has tried them before but he spits them right out and complains of how bad they are. He does, although, enjoy the taste of caramel. It’s the only thing he can stomach and now that he’s older, his parents let him eat anything he wants because they know how responsible he is. He wouldn't eat it all the time or alone even, he would only eat it with fruits like mangoes or strawberries and only during celebrations like his birthday, christmas, and Halloween.
Yamaguchi
He has eight piercings. He lost a bet back in junior high and was forced to get them but he soon got used to them and didn’t mind them. No one but Tsuki knows of course and he wouldn’t really show them off because they can’t have piercings in japanese schools. He wouldn;t show them off outside of school either because he’s a little shy but he’ll probably wear jewelry when he’s older or in college. If you’re curious, his piercings are three on each ear, his nose, and bellybutton. On his left ear he has one on his lobe, an orbital, and a helix. On his right ear he has an industrial, daith, and an upper lobe. He has a septum bull ring and a small piercing right above his belly button.
Ennoshita
He drinks tea daily. He seems like that kind of person who would enjoy all the flavors. It also is a good way for him to relax after practice. When you have to deal with Tanaka and Noya after Daichi I think you would need something to do to relax yourself before you lose your shit. The thing is that he didn’t like tea when he was younger, he always thought it was too strong and he doesn’t like hot drinks a lot but when he was stressing over exams, one of the second years suggested tea to him. He gave it a try and he has been on it ever since.
Kiyoko
She enjoys watching and doing makeup and skincare videos. She was never the type to get into all that but then she saw Yachi watching it one time she was hooked. She spent most of her money on makeup and skincare and started with following tutorials and posting the photos on Instagram and soon enough she started posting review videos on products and her own tutorials. Tanaka and Noya lose their shit every time.
Yachi
She's a slave to rhythm games. She started in junior high and never got over it. She would play during her free time but after becoming Karasuno's manager, she spent less time on them. She would minimize the time to only playing during lunch and at home. Hinata would watch amazed at her talent and asked to play, he would lose every game.

There's this older lady at camp whose job is to watch the younger kids of the camp directors. They're all under 10 years old, not part of the actual campers here. That is it. And since day one, she has been constantly nagging me about hanging out, or including her in pictures and videos. You know, the thing I'm doing for the parents of the actual campers. She's the kind of person that will talk talk talk and not let you get a word in edgewise. Not even kidding, she threw me into a full blown panic attack because I made the mistake of taking her up on an offer to go on a store run at the start of everything.
So this week is trip week for the kids, they're all off on different trips. I'm here at camp to A: work on some camp long projects like organizing old files and getting the photo printer working. Stuff like that
And B: travel out with the food drops to 2 of the trip groups to capture footage and be here to capture when the biking and kayaking groups make their return.
With the teens gone, this lady, we'll call her F, has turned all her attention back on me because she's bored again. And then, she starts going on about how her friend runs a Tshirt printing business and needs a portfolio and oh could I please help set that up for her?
So I said: "My hourly is $75."
She looks full on shocked and offended. "Well it's just pictures, it's no big deal"
"Regardless, that's still setting up a website, organizing the pictures, collecting and posting contact information and that's if the pictures are even of a high enough quality to post without editing, which I highly doubt. And I am very busy. So. $75 an hour."
"But it's just pictures, it's easy-"
"It is a service. And I don't do free services. I am a professional. I have given you my price."
"Well can you at least send me the website for making one?"
"Since it's so easy, I'm sure you can find something that will work for you yourself."
Then I just left her sitting there at the lunch table.
As a terminal people pleaser, I tell you what I am riding that high of firmly saying no.

I wanna know your family headcanons for most/some of the guys beyond the vague confirmations of who's got one parent/both.
Like, names of those confirmed with siblings their names/personalities, maybe something on what you think is up with Vil's mom/Deuce's dad?
Okay gonna go by Houses to make it easier for me. *Spoilers head for a few characters in future books*
Any names that are not from the games are my own creation. A vast majority of the characters I haven't named yet. Those who have names are going to be featured in Season 1, ones without names will probably get them in the future. (Some names may change)
Heartslabyul
Riddle
Parents are separated, or living apart for the most part, it's one of the reasons his mother gets away with a lot of stuff with her son. Father travels a lot and visits his family (namely his sister and his parents) who live in the northern part of the country. Mother's family is from the capital and comes from old money, father is not that well off, but known for being well versed in medical healing and also normal medicine.
He has an Aunt on his father's side that is a Vet that lives to the north, and she has two kids, not sure about her own husband or wife.
No siblings as of this time. That's about all for Riddle that I know.
Trey
From Cannon, his parents run a bakery, and he has several siblings, I think with him he has seven, Trey being the oldest. Three girls, and with him four boys. I figured they might be a cat family, or a rabbit family as far as pets go. Maybe a duck. Not sure yet.
He has both sets of grandparents who live not to far from the family home. Both of his parents have siblings. Dad has two brothers and a sister. One brother is married, the other is not, the sister is married too. Married siblings have at least two kids each, brother has four, sister has two. Mom has three brother and two sisters. The sisters are married one brother is engaged, the other one is dating still and one is divorced but is dating a person who has kids.
Cater
As we know he has a Mom and Dad, and two older sisters. Both are in college, they're roughly a year or so apart in age. One wants to be a dress designer, the other is into making her own jewelry. They adore their brother, but don't quite get him. They kind of wanted another sister, and tried to make him into a girly boy without realizing how that is affecting him.
Mom is a photographer, and she, like her son loves to use social media. More professional and tends to take landscapes and non people images, like sweets and other such things. She also knows how to edit videos. Works for essentially Getty photos in that world. His dad works in a Bank, he's a higher manager and is extremely math oriented and very organized. Also very sociable when he wants to. His hobby is kite making.
Cater's parents have kinda spoiled him from time to time, because of all the moving. They don't know about his issues all that much because he hides it. He has his own convertible red car that he can drive at home, it's an older model, but he likes it a lot. His mom gave him a go-pro to film his skateboarding which she actually uploads for him on Magitube, it's small but it's her way of supporting him.
Mom has a twin brother who lives out of the country. Not sure where, he's apparently a long time traveler and doesn't communicate much with the family outside of postcards, infrequent calls and suddenly showing up. Dad has two sister's (younger one is named Mary) and a step brother. Not sure about one of the sisters other than she's a lawyer with kids and is frequently at functions that the family needs to attend. She's always busy so Cater's family over the summer has to watch her two daughters, who are more of a handful than Cater's sisters. His other Aunt, Mary, is a hippy/beatnik type person. She's very sweet but absent minded, which is nice for Cater because she's very chill and lets him get away with shit. She lives in the Shaftlands not too far from the Fairest City. His Uncle is a broker, and likes to boat a lot, maybe queer, unsure.
They have a pet parrot from his Mom.
Ace
Ace's Mom is the mage, she's a teacher at a local elementary school. His dad used to be a stage magician, and now created props and other things for the local theater in his hometown, as a small time business owner. His dad doesn't have magic, but is an avid reader of Mage Histories. Basically his brother complies to Cannon.
Ace's older brother is seven years older. According to Ace, his bro more excited about Ace getting into NRC than Ace's parents were. He's an alumnis and previously in Heartslabyul. Ace talks with his brother over the phone until the wee hours, on occasion, which can make him over sleep thus being late to class. Ace's older brother built up a whole repertoire of magic tricks from his days as a student. Ace learned them by watching, playing, memorizing and replicating, since his brother refused to tell him how to do it. It's through these experiences that Ace has become quite adaptable.
Both learned slight of Hand tricks from their Dad. When ever the three of them are together they challenge each other to pull off various magic tricks. Ace said that his older brother told him, "The most convincing lies are sprinkled with a dash of truth." this implies that Ace learned to lie thanks to his brother or at least was inspired by him. Ace's brother bought an expensive watch with his first paycheck, he framed it as if it was Ace's birthday gift but gave him an empty box instead. He later apologized, and gave Ace candy, which annoyed Ace. Ace's brother purposely snuffed out the birthday candles on Ace's cake, resulting in a fight between the two. We can tell that Ace's brother is a prankster. Ace's brother did his internship at a theme park management company designing shows and attractions.
He currently works for that same company. There's a picture of Ace's brother in the hallway by the teacher's lounge, it's when his brother led the card parade for the Interschool Spelldrive tournament. Ace says his brother is not the type to make sweets for him. Ace's brother wasn't interested in dorm life. He also told Ace about ways to kill time at the dorm. Ace describes his brother as light hearted, casual and easy to get along with. Ace also admits it's advantageous to have a brother since they a role model to follow, as well as refences his school life and job hunting as examples.
They have a pet dog named Rascal, he's a mutt and likes belly rubs.
Deuce
Mom, Dylla delivery driver. She met his dad in High school and the two hit it off well. Her father was a contractor, and her mother worked at a animal shelter, not sure if she was a SAHM, or had another job. Family loved to garden though.
Deuce's father passed away when he was about five years old. His family is wealthy, but he was the rebel of the three kids and the youngest. His parents wanted him to continue in the family business, accounting since the older siblings passed on the title, and he refused, wanting to become a mechanic and work on cars and motorcycles. After he met Dylla in school and the two hit it off as both enjoyed similar music, they started to date, and when he proposed to her in senior year, his parents threw a fit, and cut him off.
Deuce has not met his paternal grandparents, he has one Aunt and one uncle that he's yet to meet. His Aunt is an artist, and his uncle works in the offices at an animation studio in Fairest City. Both of them would like to meet Deuce at some point, but they don't know how to properly contact since their brother kind of cut them all off after his parents disowned him.
Grandpa passed when Deuce was 11, so it's been him, his mom and grandma. They have no pets but they did have a rabbit that eventually passed on after 15 years. Haven't had a pet since. Grandma likes to do jigsaw puzzles with him, and they play board games together. Deuce learned to crochet from her.
In my story the leather jacket he wears is his later fathers.
Savanaclaw
Leona
Has one older brother Falena, who is the regent right now. When they were younger they were super close and Leona would follow him around like a puppy. Falena still loves his brother to bits, and isn't sure how to help him as Leona pulled away from him. His wife is Shani, the two have known one another since childhood. Her father is one of the members of the parliament. Where as Falena is very soft, open and welcoming (Mufasa meet Alexis Leon Midford) she can be strict and some what serious most of the time, keeping her husband and son in check from causing trouble (Think Francis Midford meets Sarabi). She's known for being very dignified, but she has a soft spot for Leona and has been trying to get the brothers together again.
Of course everyone knows Cheka, he's covered.
Other family include, His mother Kito is the more serious one of the two parents. She is helping Falana run the country while her husband is ill. She is the one who disciplined the brothers when they were younger, she also was once the bodyguard to their father. That's how they met. She likes puns as jokes, and has a dry wit. She plays music, and is very good with bead work, but sucks at cooking, much like Lilia. His father is Nyata. Kind and wise, known for his compassion and willingness to be diplomatic over destructive. Highly loves the natural beauty of the country. Loves Chess and taught both Leona and Falena how to play. Knows how to carve and whittle, and made Leona the chess board and set he has on his desk. He was very robust, and muscular before he grew ill, it's a genetic disease, but he's still kicking and doing his best to help his sons. He wants both Falena and Leona to make up. Loves them equally. (Kind of twisted from King Richard from Robinhood)
Leona looks like his mother, while Falena looks like his dad.
As for other family members. Zawadi is Cheka's best friend and cousin via Kito's family though her second sister. Kito has three sisters, unknown status right now about them other than Leona has mentioned his crazy Aunts to Ruggie before.
Bahati is his former governor and is now Cheka's though he sees Leona as his own son. Bahati has a brother Omari who is a lawyer as seen in Book 3.
Clarus Martelli is Cheka's guardian/bodyguard, is not a mage, and distantly related to Leona through his Sister-in-law, via her mother since her mom, Imara is his Mother and Father's bodyguard. Clarus is a no nonsense person when it comes to guarding Cheka but she and Leona have been friends since they were little, and up until he pulled away from her friendship. She's like Edward in some ways, can be strict but also very kind, and competitive. Also they share a unique dynamic, and Cheka keeps trying to play match maker, he tells Clarus all the time he wants her to marry his Unca Leona, to which she says, when he gets the thorn pulled out of his behind, maybe. Cheka keeps trying to find that thorn on Leona. She is 20 like Leona. (She's slightly twisted from Pretty scar from Tokyo Disney Sea and a bit of Kovu)
Imara is not a fan of Leona, and is more like a kinder version of Zera. She is very strict, very serious, doesn't seem to laugh at all. Cares deeply for her children to sometimes a worrisome degree. She's extremely protective of Kito and Nyata as they saved her live after she fell into a depression when her husband up and vanished after the birth of her youngest daughter.
Jabari is the oldest child of Imara, at 25. Not a mage like his mother. He is very different than Nuka whom he's twisted from. He's a very chill and loving guy. He became a kindergarten teacher rather than follow his mother into becoming a guard. He's a pacifist, by choice and a Pescatarian, and enjoys growing herbs and spices in his garden. he does know how to fight but prefers words over fists. Likes to do thing honorably, and always tries to let others go before him. He loves hand crafted crap, and is the sort that will buy the dumbest souvenir that he can. Also tends to collect anime figures, and enjoys singing on a ukulele. He's very tall and lanky for a lion, and always seems to be in a meditative mood. "Leona...my man, just Zen, reach inside and pull out that inner child. Enjoy the macaroni and glitter. It'll make you smile, and when you smile, the world will smile back. See...the sun's smiling now."
Asami is the youngest child of Imara at 15. She just started the mage school in Sunshine city, getting it from her father. She looks the most like her dad, and she hates it. Sweet but rebellious, very much your typical teenage goth in some ways. She prefers lots of black, likes metal and is part of a rock group called the Sheer Cons (Ha ha ha). She and her siblings get along very well, except for the clothing and make-up which her and Clarus butt heads over, as she wants to be a guard, but also doesn't want to be uniform. Has a crush on Leona, and makes it fucking clear in that she's interested in him. Very competitive, and likes to play sports. Loves soccer/football, does spelldrive, and intends on beating Leona one day with the express intention that if she does, he's gotta marry her. She's been saying this since age 5.
Clarus's father has a relation to the royal family distantly, but has not been seen in fifteen years. He was sweet talker and went to jail for a few crimes. It's rumored he may have been the one to point out where the princes were for the attempted kidnapping. (He's twisted from King John)
Ruggie
Lives with his grandma in the slums outside of Sunshine City. His mother died when she gave birth to him. She was very sweet and was very excited to be a mom. Never finished college as she married his father after she found out she was going to have a kid. Ruggie has he picture in his room, when she was in High school. She, like her father, was a mage. She wanted to be a doctor with magic. She met Ruggie's dad in college, both dropped out.
Ruggie's father, non mage, tried to raise him but left during Ruggie's third birthday, leaving him with his grandma. Grandma calls him a deadbeat and couldn't hold down a job. We don't know where he is at this time. He has a brother who does keep in contact with Grandma, but the family is distant due to the situation with Ruggie's dad. They seem to dislike him as well. They also come from the Slum area, though they're a bit more well off.
Grandma is known for playing bingo, and making donuts, and knitting. Strong woman who raised her daughter on her own after her husband tragically passed away in an accident. She worked two jobs, one as a secretary for her husband's bakery which was owned by his older brother and one as a night janitor. She recently retired and does part time work at the local library. Warm and kind but no nonsense. She's very much a protector of her grandson, who looks a lot like her daughter down to the droopy eyes. Ruggie, like her daughter is very smart and cunning. Always sends him care packages, and was very proud of him getting into Night Raven.
Jack
Don't have much on Jack's parents yet. I know that his mom and dad are mages, and I know that they are soulmates as he puts it. His mom is a white wolf, and his dad is gray. They do a lot of outdoors stuff as a family, I think his father writes books, but I'm not sure if it's textbooks or fiction, but it has to do with outdoor things. They did meet in college, and I think his mom edits the books for his father and does maybe the page layouts for him.
Jack has a younger brother who is not a mage, and is in middle school, so about 11-12 in age, while his sister is 6 going on 7, or somewhere around there. His brother can be a handful at times, as he can play jokes on Jack, though it's more of a kids teasing thing. He's good at outdoor stuff too, though not sure what he specializes in. He likes to draw though a lot and paint. His sister likes Vil a lot and has a kiddy crush on him. His brother can get moody about not being a mage. But they love him dearly and look up to him and Vil as big brothers. She's very energetic and tomboyish. She tends to get into more trouble than he older brothers, and likes to swim a lot and does dancing for fun. She also likes to rearrange her room and has said she wanted to be an interior designer at one point. She and Jack's brother likes to watch DIY shows for fun when they're being lazy.
No pets as far as I'm aware.
Octavinelle
Azul
We know his mom runs and owns a restaurant and his step dad is an attorney. His biological mom and dad are divorced. He has a very good relationship with his mom and his Stepdad. His stepdad got him a book to help him collect coins and encouraged him to do so as a hobby. His mom is very active in the community and likes to help out a lot when it comes to supplying food for events.
(He might be getting a sibling in the future since Ursula had one in the sequel movie and Najima is based on Jafar's sister from the game, so...yeah I'm holding off on this aspect right now. )
He hasn't seen his bio dad in a long time and he's not interested in getting to know him again. All he remembers is that he made his mom cry, and he's an octopus too. He may have been a chef. There used to be a picture up on his mom's wall that she took a marker too before she put it away of them.
He does have his mom's parents around, but his material grandparents live in a different town than him and it's harder for them to travel as they had their daughter late in life.
Jade and Floyd
Father is a mobster who seems to work with some shady people, he helps to run a company but I don't know what type yet. Their dad has the personality of Lau in a lot of ways, and comes off as loyal but also shady as hell at times. He shares the black hair of the twins, and the last name. Unknown if he's got siblings or not, or if he's an only child, and where he came from. He's very quiet about his past, even to his family.
Their mother looks like them, and is a very cunning woman from a family that has mob connections. However she runs her own business legally and has no ties to what her husband does, and keeps it that way. Should her husband go to jail, she will happily protect her sons first over saving his sorry ass for getting caught. She is a investor of sorts, and runs a business to help with stocks under the sea. She's very much a mama bear type, but will knock sense into her sons should they cross the line.
As of now I don't know if they have any siblings. Their mom has sisters and brothers, but I don't know how many or how many cousins they have. They do have a large extended family though.
Scarabia
Kalim
Kalim's father was not the oldest son, in fact he took over after his two older brothers were killed by rival family members who wanted the family company. He is not a mage, and met his wife on a boat tour, as she was visiting family in the Silk city. Kalim's dad is a very hospitable man who can be a bit naïve in how he does things. He's been best friends with Jamil's dad since they were little. Always smiling, he comes off as friendly and very bubbly like his son. Though he's constantly worried for Kalim, and is a shewed business man, he is also someone who follows the rules to a T, and this can sometimes end up hurting Kalim and his siblings. Regarding Kalim's grandfather and Grandmother on his dad's side, both have since passed but he has a unknown number of siblings, some of whom are from his father's second, third, and fourth marriages. Not at the same time! Kalim has mentioned to Cater that his grandfather had a bad habit of leaving his other wives after his grandmother passed because he wanted more sons and they gave him daughters. Kamil has said if he was a girl, he still would have been given the slot for leading as his father feels that anyone can do a good job leading the company.
Kalim's mother is very sweet, but she has her own negative aspects. Kalim is the only one who is a mage like her of her biological and adopted children. Yes all 30 are not hers, and no her husband doesn't have a harem. She is very close to Kalim, and trained him before he went to Night Raven College. She would have preferred him going to her old school in the Scalding Sands, but he wanted to go where Jamil was. She also has a weird thing about his hair, as it once was as dark as hers, but now is white due to the poisons that he has dealt with. She used to say his hair was lovely, but now when she looks at it it only causes her to be sad, so she tried to hide that when she compliments him. His hair is never brought up. He has one Aunt on his mother's side that he knows of.
Of his 30 siblings, seven are biological, the rest are all adopted via his father and mother wanting to have a huge family. We know of his younger brother who is also studying to become a advisor to Kalim, and is far more business savvy than Kalim. All the sibling love one another and they call one another by nicknames since Kalim can't always recall their real names.
He is also the direct cousin of the Prince that is the ruler of the Scalding Sands. Who has a beef with Jamil as he doesn't trust him with Kalim and is very protective of his cousin. Not sure of his age, yet. The Prince's cousin is also at Night Raven as a fourth year who is right now on his internship until spring semester. He doesn't like Kalim at all and was upset that his elder cousin gave the Housewarden position to Kalim.
Kalim's elder cousin was previously at Night Raven college, related to his mother, and was the previous Housewarden. He is now working somewhere in the Scalding sands but writes Kalim every few weeks to see how things are going.
Jamil
Jamil's father has been a friend of Mr. Al Asim since they were kids. Jamil's grandfather and down the line, has been an advisor/butler to the Al Asim family since an incident where the Al Asim patriarch saved him and they have a kinda life debt owed to the Al Asim. So the family has since worked as the Advisor/Vizor/Butler for god knows how long. Jamil's father is very strict and dedicated to Mr. Al Asim who he respects and sees as dear friend. He doesn't want to lose his post because that would mean a loss of high status and station which he prides himself in. Jamil's grandfather was more strict on his Jamil's dad, and pretty much beat (not literally) into Jamil's father the sense of tradition and how a Advisor/Butler should act and gain the favor of the Master of the house.
Jamil's mom is a kind woman but also someone, who, like her husband is staunch on traditions and status seeking. Jamil looks a lot like her, and took to braiding his hair due to his Aunt, mother's sister, doing it for him when he was younger, before she left. His mom is very much a person who cares for her son but like her husband sees her kids as a bit of a means to an end in some cases. Think Mommy influencer type in some ways.
Jamil has at least one Aunt who travels around, and she was very kind to him and Najima when she lived with them as a teenager/twenty something year old.
Najima, is his sister, and she looks very much like His father.
Pomefiore
Vil
Vil's Father Eric Venue gets along wonderfully with his son. He started out as a bit player in theater, graduating into soap operas in his late teens, eventually becoming seen as a leading man. He eventually left the show to become an actor on a popular prime time tv series as part of a team of Robin hood like characters that would take back from greedy people. It was While on this show he met Vil's mother, who was a up and coming starlet, she was one of the main characters on the show. The two hit it off and dated for the majority of the shows run, Eric leaving after several seasons to star in smaller movies, and then moving up the chain. He and Vil's mom married, but the marriage wasn't a happy one, and after they had Vil she ended up realizing that she wasn't cut out for motherhood. Eric and her separated, and she gave him sole custody of their son. The two moved to a smaller apartment, as his ex wife wanted to keep the larger one. Eric is a kind father with a wry sense of humor much like his son. Vil has learned a lot from his dad, and gained his smile, and laugh, along with aspects of his eyes. He later started in a famous Video game movie, as he also enjoys video gaming when he was younger, though he hasn't had time to play console games, he does like on the go games to play with on down time (think 3DS, or Switch light or mobile games). He reads a lot and is a producer, does script writing, directs plays and has directed TV series as well, he also runs a smaller talent agency, and still acts in plays, movies and tv series. He recently ventured into Voice acting and also teaches as a Professor at the local University in Fairest City in the Theater and Speech department.
Vil's biological Mother, is an unknown person to him as he wants no contact with her. She's a well known actress who looks a lot like her son. Vil inherited his sharp features, violet colored eyes, and blonde hair from her. She is considered one of the most beautiful actresses in the movie industry. When she first met Eric she figured she could use him to prop herself up and the two grew as actors, until Eric began to outpace her in getting Movie Roles. After they married she started to grow jealous of his assent in acting and the push he got in the show they were both starting in. Eventually the show was cancelled and she went on to make several independent films. On the outset they looked great, but internally she was seething that Eric was doing better than she was. Upon learning she was with Vil, Vil's mom was thrilled at first, but then found out that it would be harder for her to be offered parts where she was seen as the sexy lead. Having a baby was hard on her, and she eventually came to the realization that she wasn't in love with Eric, and didn't want to have a child with him. After a year of taking care of Vil, she abandoned both of them, with the intent of restarting her career, free of a husband and a son. She has been watching Vil from Afar for years, and more recently, with his Social media influence, and fame, she's considered making contact. She's remarried in recent years to an older actor who already had grown kids. She wanted to reconnect for a documentary she's doing on her life.
Vil's stepmother is Vanessa Lee Schoenheit. Vanessa and Vil have a very strong relationship, and have had one since they first met when Vil was about 3 going on 4 years old. Vanessa has an interesting past, one that Vil respects highly for her being "true" to herself and her feelings about her music. When Vanessa was a teenager she and her brother started a band HALYX, which they gathered friends to help fill out the band. Vanessa was the lead singer, along with her brother and one of her best friends being back up vocals. The band did well enough that when they continued it into College, where they met an Agent who offered them a chance to become produced by a record label. The group took the chance, and they recorded and did what he said. The Agent ran away with their demo and money, leaving the group in debt. Vanessa, not wanting her friends or family to have to deal with the situation took on the full debt herself as she was the lead, and spent years paying back every debt that the band got stuck with. After the situation with the Agent, the bad split up. Vanessa finished college and became an lead event manager and coordinator. (Basically part of the team that handles the Met Gala or Film Festivals.) During one of the events that she was coordinating for a Charity, Eric happened to notice Vanessa and had his friend, who was his date for the night, play wing man to get a chance to ask her out for coffee. After several friendly meetups, the two started to date, and Eric slowly introduced Vanessa to Vil. It was love at first sight for her to the little boy, the two got along well, and after three years of dating, Vanessa married Eric in a private ceremony. She still works as an event coordinator and Vil considers her his mother. She is his biggest supporter and fan, ready to always help him out and comfort him when trouble arose. She was also his earliest singing coach and taught him to play a piano, even though he doesn't keep at it. She was trained until college in dance, so also taught him dancing, and the two hang out doing shopping and make up as well. Vanessa and Eric have tried to have a child, but have been unsuccessful over the years and are happy with just Vil as their one and only. She's a natural blonde, but used to dye her hair black.
Vanessa's brother is Vil's Uncle, and works as a lawyer and Professor. He and Vil are close and his family visits during the summer and holidays. Vil's cousins are very excitable at times, but he deals with them rather well. They always want "Cousin Vil" to praise them. He is married to his partner, and the kids are from his partner's first marriage.
Both Vanessa and Eric's parents are still alive. Vil's grandparents do not live in the same town as they do, and he doesn't get to see them very frequently due to his and his parents work schedules. They do come down for holidays and send him cards and other gifts for his birthday.
Rook
I don't have a lot on this one because of how limited the information on Rook is...But...
Rook's family is pretty much the equal of the Phantomhive Watchdog family in Twisted Wonderland. While not reporting directly to a specific ruler, they work for a international group, ala Interpol, who deal with Blotings and other matters that the world doesn't want causing a new war.
His father is a gentleman, serious and firm but kind. He wants his children to be able to fend for themselves, and unfortunately he's kind of caused Rook's emotional state to be stunted for a while. He does care about his son, it's just that he wants Rook to be a person that is able to deal with the serious implications of taking a life.
Rook's mother is a softer person. Still strong and brave, and like her husband dedicated to their work. However she is more involved emotionally with their kids. She isn't always approving of her husband's methods. (She's twisted from Helga from Atlantis)
Rook's older siblings are very proud of their brother, but I'm not sure they share his sense of beauty, but they support him and his efforts to better and enrich himself. His younger siblings, thanks to Rook, are being more emotional and he managed to get his father to agree to do a different test for them rather than send them out into the jungle.
Epel
We've met Epel's grandmother, so...Not much to add on that front.
Peepaw is a very kind soul and a strong person. He was very good looking when he was younger but is now shorter and older looking. He is a happy old timer with a strong work ethic that he instilled into his grandson and tries to teach him about the land and farming. He also likes to brag about Epel's carving skills, and show them off to his friends.
Epel's dad is a kind father who finds it amazing that his son looks so much like his mother in law. He met his wife when he was working as an hired summer hand on the farm. He eventually married her after a while of courting, and the two had Epel. His family knows Epel's mom's family and has for years since the two families live in Harveston. His father's family runs a small gift shop in town, they moved to Harveston when Epel's Dad was a kid.
Epel's Mom is Meemaw and Peepaw's second youngest daughter. She always wanted to be a witch like her mother but wasn't. As one of the main business operators to the farm, she and her siblings help keep the farm running and are always looking for a new way to help keep the business afloat. She looks like her father and is a very cute type of person with a strong work ethic and ambitions. (Based on a twisted form of Slue-Foot Sue) Epel get's his hair and eyes from her and her mother, though she looks more like her father. She was thrilled when Epel found out he had magic and wanted him to go to school for it.
Cousins, Aunts and Uncles, I don't have much on them, other than Several of his family are much like Epel. Only one of his cousins is not like the rest of the family, and she lives in the Capital of the Shaftlands, working in the hospitality industry. She's the daughter of His Grandparent's eldest daughter. His youngest cousin, a boy, does horse riding for fun.
Ignihyde
Idia and Ortho
We've met the shrouds, so all I can say is the following.
We know a bit about Grandma Shroud, so not touching that.
Papa Shroud in my mind looks a lot like Vincent, but has a grown up OCiel's personality. He's shy and mindful of others, but also can be firm when he needs to be and is very gentle with his sons. He also liked to read to them stories of adventure and started their toy collection to ensure that Idia and Ortho had joy in their lives even though they couldn't go outside. Idia and Ortho inherited their father's eye color and flaming hair. Idia got his father's eye shape, while the rest of his features are based on his mother. The two met while at work, when Idia's dad brought over coffee and teas to the tech department, and Idia's mom fell head over heels for the shy boy. She actually perused him and while it took a while, eventually she proposed to Papa shroud and he said yes. He's always worried about Idia's future, and wishes that his son didn't have to continue the family tradition.
Mama Shroud is the bubbly one. She comes from outside of STYX and started to work there after her time in her magic Academy in the Kingdom of Heroes. In my mind she looks a lot like Rachel Phantomhive, but personality wise she's a mix of her and a grown up Elizabeth Midford. She's outspoken and everything excites her. She can be strict, but is a loving mother who would do anything for her children. Prior to Ortho's accident, she and her husband did try several times to persuade the Olympus organization to allow the boys time outside of the STYX facility but it fell on deaf ears. While her husband has flaming blue hair, her hair is a red/pink color, which she likes to keep in pigtails or ponytails and she has him braid it at night. When they first met Mama Shroud knew that she wanted to be with Papa because of how kind his eyes were and she wanted to make him smile. They became friends and she fell for him hard, leading to her pursuing him, much to his shock and shyness. Eventually she asked him to marry and he said yes. She loves building models with her sons, and is proud of both of their accomplishments and hopes to see both graduate and do what they want in life.
Diasomnia
Not touching too much on family for various characters as we have a lot on that now.
Malleus
We know about his mother and somewhat about his grandmother.
Levan, or Raverene, Malleus's dad we already know a lot about personally, I'm only going to add that he was a blue color due to the shading in Malleus's hair, and that Malleus has his father's deep and polite voice. (For myself I'm twisting him from the Reluctant Dragon who is very much a model for Levan's personality). I don't know enough about him other than I think he was close with Lilia too.
Malleus's Grandfather, I see as a noble knight who courted the then Princess Maleficia, and they had their daughter. I feel like he may have been an older fae and passed on before his daughter was of full age. Malenore (Maleanore -where the hell are they getting these spellings from?) has her father's sharper angled face, and his sense of rebelliousness that he gave her.
I have a very strong suspicion that Maleficia grew up a lot like Queen Victoria where her life was pretty much monitored and she was very lonely from the get go, only getting freedom when she became Queen. Her husband I see more as Albert, who grew up as a normal noble and was very shy but also kind and gentle as a person. Both parents loved their kids, but Malenore's dad was more the giver of hugs while her mother wasn't good with kids.
I think that Malleus has distant cousins but not sure about them.
Lilia
So what I know so far is that Lilia's parents were weavers. At some point earlier in his life his parents passed away. He did seem to have an elder brother as a sibling, but he too pass during some event that had him and several other members of Lilia's village venture out past the mountain range of the Black Scale Castle.
While the Queen and King were passing through his village, Lilia, was spotted by the King and Queen. The former liked his energy and took him in to raise him in the castle. Maleficia loved him but didn't know how to raise him, he had a better relationship with her husband, who trained him in swords and got him to want to become part of the royal guard.
Arawnwye (Pronouced Ah Ron Wee), known as the Witch of the Forest, her blood line goes back to the days of King Taran and Queen Eilonwy, who were once one of the rulers of Briar valley before the rise of Briar Rose and Philips line and then the Draconian family. Ages ago one of her ancestors helped to defeat a mage who was a monster, and in doing so, the family was cursed to have a long life, where it was hard to have kids. She was the one stuck with the curse to have no kids. As a strong mage she helped out the humans and had a good relationship with the fae, and her skills were whispered about around Twisted Wonderland. (Think third most powerful mage in the world at the time.) She met Lilia after he was wounded in a battle and he ended up in her garden where she asked him if he was trying to water her flowers with his blood. She became his first human friend, and helped him over time. The house he eventually took Silver too was hers. The two became close, eventually becoming a couple, which was hidden for reasons, only Malleus's dad and mother knew about the relationship and were sworn to secrecy. The others that eventually knew of them were his two friends, Baul and Finnius (Ptitsa's father). She and Lilia had pet nicknames. She died before Malleus was able to be born, and five years after Melenore passed in her battle. (I can't say more due to not wanting it to spoil too much).
Silver
We know about his family, so I don't think we need to go over this too much.
Sebek
Mother is the daughter of Baul, and she is very much like her father. She helps her husband in his dental practice, and watched over Silver from time to time for Lilia when she wasn't working.
Sebek's father lived on the Coastal Cities. He became a dentist to help others, and followed in his grandmother's footsteps. He has an Uncle that lives in the Queendom of Roses.
I kind of see him and his wife as Milo and Kida from Atlantis.
Sebek's brother is a zoologist and is trying to work on the conservation of Briar Valley's flora and fauna. He is a happy go lucky person like his father, and looks like his mother, much like Sebek. His sister is local studying to be a linguist and teach others Nocturnal and Demiural fae languages. She has her mother's eyes, but her father's brown hair and features. She adores her grandfather and loves to fish and cook. She and her brother consider Lilia their great uncle, and call him uncle Lilia all the damn time.
STAFF
Crowley
Nothing as of right now.
Divus Crewel
Parents are from the Queendom. His mother is a fashion designer, who uses magic to do her work. He inherited his magic from her. His father is actually a toy maker who has his own shop and line of toys in the Queendom and they're very popular. His mother is very kind but comes off as aloof like her son. His father is warm and jovial, and has bright blue eyes. Divus inherited his looks from his mother.
He has an older brother Andre, who, while a mage, isn't as strong as Divus. When they were younger they got along well, then Andre changed and the two drifted as the older brother started to work as an Accountant and began to see magic as not such an impressive thing, and seems to be jealous of Divus for an unknown reason to him.
Sabine is Divus's younger sister who works with his father making toys. She enjoys fashion and is very much the sort that loves to annoy her brother Andre with tricks, but also adores Divus. She has no magic so she went to fashion school to be a designer, but it didn't work out and she started a fashion doll line for her father's shop which does well.
Ptitsa Zhar
His mother is a mage bird beastman from Sunset Savanna, and his father is the main archivist lord Finnius, formally a member of the Royal guard. His mother is where they get their last name, and is stern but kind. (Think Francis from Black Butler) while his father is as bubbly as all get out and is always trying to be kind. He's an owl nocturnal fae (though there maybe some Day fae in his family line).
Ptitsa has a younger sister who's signature is the opposite of his and can make things grow. She looks more like their father, and is twisted from the nature sprite from the Firebird short from Fantasia. She and Sabine are friends, and like to tease their older brothers.
Ptitsa looks like his mother but has his father's sharp and large eyes, with his mother's color. His sister is short and looks like their father, but with her mother's eye shape.
Mozus Trein
We learned about his family in the Masquerade event so nothing new here yet.
Sam
His grandmother is known as the Queen of the Bayou.
Maika McNamara
Half Mermaid half Human, his mother is a cousin of Prince Rielle, and part of the royal family. His father was a fisherman.
He is married to Klara who is a therapist/psychologist, and they have two kids. Clarabelle who is the youngest and Horace who is the oldest.
And that's what I have. XD

The Doctor’s Daughter returns for four new adventures 
3 May 2024
Tags : Stop PressThe Worlds of Doctor Who - Special Releases
Georgia Tennant returns as Jenny in Saving Time, a brand-new box set of four full-cast audio adventures from Big Finish Productions.  
Tumblr media
Introduced in the 2008 Doctor Who television episode The Doctor’s Daughter, Jenny is the artificially created offspring of the Tenth Doctor. After escaping Messaline at the end of her debut story, she now stars in her own series of travels across time and space. Georgia Tennant, also known for TV series including Merlin and Staged, has reprised the role on audio numerous times since. 
At the end of her last adventure, in 2021 release Still Running, Jenny had escaped the pursuit of the cyborg bounty hunter COLT-5000, also known as Geraldine. But now, she’s being pursued by another version of COLT-5000, which used to be her best friend Noah (Sean Biggerstaff). 
What happens next will be revealed in Jenny – The Doctor’s Daughter: Saving Time, due for release in October, and now available for pre-order as a collector’s edition CD box set (+ download) for just £29.99 and as a digital download only for £22.99, exclusively here. 
This new box set contains four exciting episodes:  
Florence O'Connor and the Sandwich of Doom by John Dorney A Beginner's Guide to Monsters (and How to Slay Them) by Rochana Patel  Genesis of the Humans by Adrian Poynton  Reboot by Lizzie Hopley 
Georgia Tennant, who is also associate producer on the series, said: “It's always a joy to be back at Big Finish and to jump back into Jenny's boots again has been a dream. We pretty much pick up exactly where we left her and Noah, so it's full pelt from the off, and in no time, they're back on an adventure. 
“Sean and I have been friends for such a long time now, but we live very far apart, so getting to do a week in the studio together is not only a chance for Jenny and Noah to get back together but also a chance for Sean and I to catch up and have a laugh. Not too much, obviously, as we are super professional actors… mostly. We really hope you enjoy it!”

g1-style silly show in the modern day where the tfs have social media:
Hound has a youtube where he posts videos of animals and trees that he thinks are cool (most are completely ordinary but ppl like his channel anyway bc he brings a whimsy to the ordinary that’s very charming)
Jazz also has a youtube where his videos are edited in cool ways and he’s got a travel vlog type vibe. He loves to talk to street musicians and check out festivals and stuff. Other autobots regularly guest star on his shenanigans
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are streamers. They do fortnite and valorant and occasionally react to stuff. Suntreaker does tier lists of Earth vehicles (very few make A or S lol). Sunny also has an instragram and very occasionally he’ll post his art but mostly its nice selfies or silly pictures of Sideswipe
Skywarp, Rumble, and Frenzy film pranks on each other and on the other decepticons and also do reaction stuff bc ppl love seeing aliens react to classic Earth culture. They also read Thundercracker’s terrible fan fiction and film his reaction when he hunts them down for revenge
Soundwave makes ten hour videos on youtube of weird sounds (like space noise and the sound of microwaves (the energy not the appliance)). Ppl think its weird asmr.
Blaster is also on youtube and he makes playlists and helps produce for indie and growing artists. He’s also got a vlog channel about the happenings on the Ark (he could film it professionally but he likes an amateur-ish look to it)
(Soundwave tries to sabotage Blaster’s youtube which results in Blaster and Jazz teaming up to get back at him. The rivalry has developed a noisy and invested audience whom Soundwave will occasionally nuke the accounts of when he thinks theyre being too annoying)
Prowl runs the official autobot twitter and that’s the only social media he uses (Jazz has tried to get him on others but Prowl consistently refuses so Jazz just makes him a constant on his own platforms) (actually he might get on reddit occasionally to be pedantic)
Wheeljack and Ratchet have a loosely myth busters vibed youtube where they showcase Wheeljack’s latest invention. They have a lot of scientists in their comment section losing their goddamn minds as the laws of physics are regularly flouted but they also have a good chunk of viewers there for the explosions. Ratchet also does videos of caring for cars that are filmed the same way as middle aged men who do the same sort of video
Optimus, surprisingly, has exactly zero social media presence except for when he appears on somebody else’s thing or if he’s on the news for some reason (like doing a volunteer thing at middle schools or after dealing with a crisis, manmade or decepticon). This is because he knows he’ll get in roast fights on twitter and get himself in trouble with Prowl (and also if Megatron learns he has a social media he’ll never get any peace again)
oh and Megatron definitely has a twitter where he yells at human politicians and talks smack against trolls. He’s blocked by like half the platform while the other half watch in morbid fascination as he gets his ass handed to him by basically anyone with a spine to backtalk him (Soundwave is sent to nuke or hack the accounts of ppl who piss Megatron off too much. he also sends them mean prank stuff in retaliation, which the trolls actually view as a badge of honor)
i could probably continue but i wont rn lol

fucked up rpf time !!!!!! thinking about the mumbo snuff film idea again.
i think grian would send him messages about making a film or documentary together, just like the one they did about grian's cats. except grian's messages keep delving into darker subjects every time he makes a suggestion, until eventually he drops the snuff film idea. mumbo is all the way in the philippines at the time, so he can't really check in on grian and make sure he's okay. but grian says he's not depressed or suicidal, just really likes the idea of being graphically murdered for some kind of goreporn film.
grian starts putting all these plans together - where mumbo could film without getting caught, how grian would make a final video for his channel to make it seem like he's just quitting youtube then disappear (and maybe he ropes a few of their other cc friends into this, making them promise to make certain comments about grian's quitting to ease the audience's mind), etc. mumbo is very concerned but can't deny that he likes the idea too, because he's just as much of a freak.
in a distant little cabin somewhere in the mountains, they would meet, finally. grian would be so happy to be able to hang out with mumbo again, tbh. they'd probably fuck about it.
then mumbo would spend about 5 hours setting up three different cameras all pointing at the bed, making sure they all have the most perfect quality and settings possible. he would probably use extra lighting setups too. a boom mic even. he's a professional.
he would have so much fun cutting grian open and messing around with his insides. grian would scream and cry and beg for it to stop - he would say he's changed his mind, he doesn't wanna die, stop, stop, stop - but mumbo would know to continue. especially since grian remains hard as a rock despite the blood loss.
mumbo would draw it out for hours. i bet. then maybe fuck the body once it's over. i say maybe but mean definitely.
then he would clean up, bury the body (maybe keep a few bits for himself, just as a little treat) and get to work with the footage. oh he would have so much fun editing it. their close friends would get the unaltered final footage, then he would blur their faces for a dark-web release. it would be mumbo's proudest work. the most raw, unfiltered 'acting', with beautiful shot composition and lighting, wonderful sound design-
he nerds out about it a lot. that probably gets him going more than the actual footage itself. online, he claims it is all fake, but people do doubt it. luckily, they're all freaks too, so no one reports it to any authorities. what would they do, anyway?
just thinking about mumbo, and maybe scar or pearl, speaking about grian quitting like 'ohhh yeah he had to quit for his mental health <3 yeah we still stay in touch tho!' and eventually the fandom moves on, asking other fans not to bring grian up, because it's rude! so he's mentioned less and less, until people stop worrying about it.
meanwhile, mumbo has that beautiful footage always with him. wherever he travels, he keeps that special moment on a usb or drive, just so he can always be close to grian. and jerk off to his brutal, gorey death. hehe
