The hearthead was the second species I ever submitted to the Sagan 4 Alpha timeline, and accompanied the opportunity shrew as a sauceback which evolved in reaction to it. Hearthead's defining characteristic is the presence of photoreceptors inside the scent pits, allowing for some limited vision. Though the hearthead is not considered a true ornithere (avian/bird-like sauceback), in addition to its eyes it already has a number of other characteristics which would later be common to ornitherian saucebacks, such as aerodynamic feathers sporting just a single unbranching rachis (most other neodromeodonts have branching rachises) and ornithere-like skull and jaw morphology (which gives it its characteristic heart-shaped head).

Side note, the reason for the skull morphology was because I had made something up before we actually knew how sauceback jaws worked, and it turned out to be plausible anyway because hearthead already evolved from a sauceback with an unusually strong bite force. With that in mind, I wonder what non-hearthead harnessback jaw muscles are doing. I would imagine they'd probably already have a transitional form going on where the muscles which flex the jaws up and down in other saucebacks are instead being used to stabilize them for pinching, as that's actually the set of muscles that became the biting ones in hearthead--something they accomplished by moving the attachments closer to the center plane (which would probably result in greater and greater stability as well) and developing upper and lower sagittal crests.

Not that any of that makes sense if you've never examined the sauceback musculoskeletal diagrams. (hey @evolution-incarnate you drew the bones, do my musings about muscles and skull morphology seem sound?)

Timeline: 2024 October 14th, Monday, midday Location: Dragon Entertainment Office, Bangkok Mood: Stressed, discouraged, worried Attire: See this post. Baby boy is in oversized clothing and a more relaxed fit, since he's been banished to the mail room With: @ippotis Music: N/A

Chai was stressed - but then again, these days, when was he not? He had become so familiar with the feeling because it followed him around all day and all night, keeping him on his toes and also weighing heavily on his mind. The young man was always rushing, trying to prove himself worthy of holding down a good job, because he couldn't afford to leave Dragon Entertainment - even if, every day, there was a chance he would bump into him.

Khun Dan hadn't fired Chai after the Japan trip almost a month ago, but was very obviously putting distance between them. Since... the onsen incident... Khun Dan had been virtually absent from Chai's life.

Chai went to work as normal on the Monday after his arrival back to Thailand, nervous about what was going to happen now between himself and Khun Dan, only to be told by his boss that he'd be moving to a different department in the company. He was no longer needed as Khun Dan's assistant.

Chai was conflicted about that. On the one hand, he was relieved; Khun Dan had apologised to him in Japan, but they hadn't talked about what transpired, because Chai had been a wreck. But now they were back in Thailand, and they still hadn't talked, leaving everything kinda... unfinished. And he wouldn't even know how to face Khun Dan everyday after what happened, if they didn't talk about it - not that Chai was going to bring it up. No way. He was terrified of confrontation. He had also decided not to file any kind of complaint or report against his boss. For everything that went wrong at the onsen, he didn't think Khun Dan was a monster like other men he knew. If he was, then Chai believed that more would have occurred in that hot spring. Still, not having some kind of resolution kept Chai in an anxious state, so having a job away from Khun Dan would definitely help settle his nerves.

The other part of Chai though... felt like he had failed. He failed himself, he failed Khun Dan, and he failed his P'Rachi. This was one of the best jobs he had had in terms of prestige and income, and Chai had been getting so much better at it. He hadn't had the experience, but was still lucky enough to have the chance to work it because of his mommy Rachi, and now it was gone.

Instead of being Khun Dan's assistant, Chai had been moved elsewhere - set and costuming, because they needed extra hands. He worked his best, as he always did, but on his third day he tripped over a paint bucket and fell through one of the backdrops, ripping it straight down the middle and getting himself and his colleagues covered in paint. The next day, he was moved to the script-writing room; but after he accidentally jammed the photocopier and then mixed up the order of the scripts, he was moved again. Then again. Then again. Until finally, Chai was put away in the mail room. He... he didn't even know mail rooms still existed these days...

At least it was... just him. Nobody else would be caught in his accidental line of fire. But Chai didn't know who half the employees were in this place, so it was taking him time to deliver everything - and he knew that was pissing people off.

Trying to be quicker, Chai was rushing down the corridors while staring at the names on the envelops before he bumped into someone's back. Like some kind of goofy cartoon - and in true clumsy Chai fashion - the young man fell back on his ass with an eep! with his papers and envelops thrown out of his hands and scattered on the floor.

"S-sorry!" Chai said to the person in front of him, immediately giving them a wai. "I didn't hurt you did I- o-oh... Khun Dan..."

Chai didn't know who he offended in a past life to be so unlucky. Because the person he had collided with was none other than his old boss - who he hadn't seen in a while...

A new shop in the Tower in an alternate reality in which Cayde-6 and Uldren have started the Dumbass Hunter Agenda in what is known as The Brightest Timeline. Jolyon and Ikora understand your pain. 

[sovpologist]

Jolyon Masterpost

Jolyon now has enough lore to have people interested in him, but not enough to have his own page on Ishtar Collective, which is frustrating. There’s way more to know than just what’s mentioned in Uldren’s character bio, so I thought I’d write up a basic bio for Jolyon and a basic timeline for Uldren and Jolyon’s relationship. 

So who is Jolyon? 

Jolyon Till is an Awoken sniper, currently working to defend the Reef from the Taken. He is also referred to as “Jolyon Till the Rachis.” “Jolyon Till” is likely his full name, whereas “the Rachis” is just a title, coming from the Greek word rhákhis, meaning backbone/spine. His friends call him “Jol.” Jolyon is quiet, dedicated, loyal, honest, and deeply traumatized from his experiences in the Black Garden. He was one of Uldren’s closest friends.

Timeline: 

It’s unknown when Uldren and Jolyon met, but it’s stated they went to “combat academy” together. Uldren used to pull pranks on Jolyon, like trying to dye Jolyon’s uniform bright yellow. This prank instead stained Jolyon’s skin, turning it from “blue to bright green.” (Holdfast Bond) 

Jolyon eventually became a Crow, a member of Uldren’s elite task force/spy network. He liked to tinker with his weapons. He modified his Supremacy rifle, and he may have built the Lord of Wolves gun. (Lord of Wolves– Grimoire Card, The Length of a Chain | Part I)  

Uldren convinced Jolyon to enter the Black Garden with him, and the two successfully explored and returned from the Black Garden. This was the beginning of Uldren’s rapidly-deteriorating mental health. While Jolyon was not corrupted by the Darkness like Uldren, he still suffered from nightmares and heightened anxiety from their experiences in the Black Garden.  On their return, Uldren seemed to be excited about the implications of what they saw, while Jolyon was horrified and distraught. Uldren wanted to tell everyone about what they learned, but Jolyon was traumatized and didn't want anyone to know about their experiences. This led to the two growing apart and becoming distant, as Uldren became preoccupied with his own plans and gradually forgot about Jolyon due to the influence of the Darkness. (The Length of a Chain | Part I, After the Heart | Part I, Jolyon) 

It’s unclear when exactly this scene took place, but I’d place it shortly after Uldren and Jolyon returned from the Black Garden. Mara is furious that Jolyon didn’t stop Uldren from going to the Black Garden. Jolyon tries to explain to Mara that Uldren didn’t enter the Black Garden to defy her; he wanted to impress her. Mara, upset and scared for Uldren, lashes out and asks Jolyon if he has more loyalty to Uldren than to her, accusing him of treason. Jolyon responds by appealing to Mara’s love for Uldren, saying that he feels the same way she does and that Uldren saved him from self-doubt and despair when “Laviska” died. It’s unclear who Laviska is. The name sounds feminine (by Awoken naming conventions) but nothing is confirmed; this could be a former partner, family member, close friend, etc. Jolyon says Uldren is his brother and he loves him, and tells Mara if that’s treason, then so be it. It’s unclear how Mara responded or how this confrontation ended. (Holdfast Mark)

When Uldren turned himself in, Jolyon was part of the strike team that apprehended him and took him to the Prison of Elders. Uldren at this point was heavily impacted by the Darkness’ corruption and his own worsening mental health after Mara’s death. Uldren didn’t remember Jolyon, but vaguely recognized him, saying that he was “handsome” and that Uldren “wanted something from him once,” something “important.” (Free | Part II) 

At some point after Uldren was put in the Prison of Elders, Jolyon went to a bar and got drunk, reminiscing about their past. He felt guilty for going with Uldren to the Black Garden, feeling responsible for turning his friend into a “monster”. He says that he misses Uldren’s “stupid arrogance” and his “pranks.” (Holdfast Bond) 

After Uldren was killed and laid to rest, Petra went to Jolyon to see if he wanted to pay respects at Uldren’s grave. Jolyon refused, telling her that in his eyes, Uldren died a long time ago. Before she left, he told her that he still dreams about the Black Garden. (The Supremacy) 

When Uldren is resurrected as Crow, Petra goes to tell Jolyon the news but Jolyon already knows. Petra tells him that Crow took a lot of “abuse” from Guardians after he was rezzed and that it has humbled him. They reminisce about how Uldren used to be and Jolyon says he’d like to see how Uldren has changed for himself. Petra warns him not to approach Crow, explaining that Mara wants to limit Crow’s contact with others. Jolyon is upset but pretends to be fine with this, saying he’s gotten used to Uldren being dead. (Eternal Recurrence) 

As of Season of the Haunted, Jolyon has not attempted to contact Crow, and Crow has not reached out to Jolyon. However, the memory of Uldren reminisces about watching the Cabal with “my friend Jolyon.” (Destiny Lore Vault) 

[jennyellie]

I just thought about the sad things that Walter had to go through before the movie's timeline and it made me sad.

1. No one wants to talk to him and just ignores him except for very important notices from the HTUV.

2. Everyone thinks his non-violent gadgets are stupid and worthless.

3. At lunch break they don't allow him to sit together, so he probably eats at the desk or worse, in the bathroom stall.

4. Other employees had close colleagues to come by and celebrate or be together at special days.

Walter didn't have anyone to be with. Not even on his mother's memorial day.

5. I wonder if he ever got paid properly...

( it's just a guess. But if they didn't, that's BS)

6. THEY DIDN'T WRITE HIS NAME RIGHT ON THE PLATE- 🤬🤬

For the drabble prompts can I have 1 with Chris & Nicki please?

It’s been a long, dang time since I’ve written anything for Chris and Nikki, which meant I had to go back and reread some of the stuff I’d written for them to get back into the flow of them. It was definitely fun and I want to write some more stuff for them.

Before I get on to the story, however, I do need to mention something. While this story takes place in May 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak does not exist in the Chris & Nikki timeline. That is because their mini-series Chris's To Do List (which was written in 2016) would not be possible if COVID-19 existed. It was a hard decision for me to make, but after careful consideration, I have decided to not create a plot hole in this Chris Evans x OFC's timeline.

Title: Birthday Cake

Pairing: Chris Evans x OFC (Nikki Evans)

Rating: PG

Prompt: #1 - "Can we make cake? I like cake."

Warnings: n/a

Disclaimer: This work of fiction is not to be reposted, used or translated without my permission.

Because of how tumblr can be silly about links, I will reblog this post with links to the masterlist and the prompt list.

May 2020

Chris smiled as he looked around the table, watching his family eating dinner together. It was nights like this that made him glad that he had decided to take a break from acting for the summer. His kids were growing up so quickly and he didn't want to miss more than he already had. It was still hard for him to believe that his baby girl, Rachel, would be three next month. Let alone that his first baby, Josh, would be seven on his next birthday.

His eyes focused on his middle child, Aiden, whose birthday was just a few days away. The boy had been excited for weeks, reminding them all that his birthday was coming up soon and Chris couldn't help but tease the boy a bit. "You know, I seem to recall that there is a birthday happening soon," he said, playing dumb. "But I just can't remember whose it is." He looked Nikki. "Do you remember?"

Nikki sighed and shook her head. "I can't, but it's on the tip of my tongue," she said playing along. "Is it you, Rachie?"

"Yes! Imma be threeeeeeeee!" the little girl sang out.

"No it's not! It's me!" Aiden exclaimed, glaring at his little sister. "My birthday is on May 9th and that's before June." Then he glanced at his mom. "Right?"

"Right," Nikki confirmed with a smile. "And that means your birthday is this week."

The little boy's eyes popped open wide. "Already!" he exclaimed, making his parents and older brother laugh.

"Already," Chris said with a smile. "I know you and mom planned a party with your classmates, but do you want to do anything fun with the family?"

"Can we make a cake? I like cake," Aiden requested.

"Of course we can make a cake," Nikki told him.

"Can I make a cake with dad?" Aiden asked, his eyes sliding from mom to dad.

Nikki had to bite her lip to keep from laughing at Chris's deer in the headlights look. Reaching under the table, she squeezed Chris's knee and then answered for her husband, "Absolutely. I'm sure dad would love to make a cake with you."

"I can't bake a cake," Chris stated a couple hours later when he and Nikki were alone in their master suite, all three kids in their own beds.

"It's not as hard as you're making it out to be," Nikki assured him. "And you're a much better cook than you were when we got married."

"Keywood there is cook, not bake," Chris pointed out as he followed her out of the bathroom and into their bedroom. "You're the one that does all the fancy baking. Remember that time I tried to bake cookies and it ended up a burnt mess that was just one giant, crispy cookie."

"That doesn't count as a baking fail," Nikki countered. "Because that was the shitty oven that got way too hot and, therefore, not your fault." She laid her hand on his chest. "You don't have to make the cake from scratch. We can use a box mix."

"You're not going to let me out of this are you?" Chris sighed.

"Do you want to disappoint your son?" Nikki asked.

"Of course not," Chris said as he sat down on the bed looking defeated. "But I also don't want to disappoint him and ruin his birthday party."

"You won't ruin his birthday party," Nikki assured him as she kneeled behind him on the bed and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "He and I already picked out a cake for his birthday party. The cake you guys will make will only be for the family party on Friday at your mom's."

"Alright," Chris said, giving in. "But I want to run through the directions with you before he and I start. And if there is something you'd do that isn't listed in the directions, tell me so I can do it, too, and not mess up the cake."

"We can do that if it will make you more confident about it," Nikki told him. She kissed his cheek and then pulled away. "Go get ready for bed, love."

When Friday morning finally came around, Chris was still nervous about baking the cake, but Nikki had been coaching him all week. He had helped her and Rachel make cookies and had helped them make banana bread too. The last bit of "training" had come last night after the kids were in bed, he and Nikki had verbally walked through the steps on the back of the cake mix box and now he felt semi prepared.

"Are you ready to make your birthday cake, buddy?" he asked Aiden, who stood on a step stool next to him at the island.

"Yes!" Aiden exclaimed. "Can it have blue frosting?"

"Yes it can," Chris said with more confidence than he felt. Nikki had predicted that their son would want to have a colored frosting and had, therefore, picked up a container of plain white frosting and food coloring to use with it.

He'd asked Nikki to sit at the kitchen table to oversee everything, but she had just kissed his cheek and told him she believed in him. Then she had gone to the office to do some work, leaving him on his own.

"Alright," Chris said, looking at the ingredients that he had taken out of the pantry before calling Aiden into the kitchen. Per Nikki's suggestion, he had also already measured out everything and had them lined up in the order they needed to be put into the stand mixer. "Let's start by washing our hands. And then we'll start adding everything into the bowl."

Once their hands were washed and the oven turned on to preheat, Chris read through the directions aloud one more time. Then he and Aiden started the process of dumping things into the bowl. A process that was surprisingly simple, he realized once it was finished.

By the time the oven beeped, Chris and Aiden had the cake mix dumped into a pan lined with a piece of parchment paper, another of Nikki's suggestions. He made Aiden stay on his step stool while he put the cake into the oven.

With the timer set, father and son worked together to clean up the kitchen, Chris handing non-breakable items to the boy to put in the dishwasher. It made the process slower, but Aiden enjoyed helping.

When the timer went off, Chris checked the cake, putting a toothpick in the center like Nikki had shown him with the banana bread and smiled when it came out clean. He told Aiden to keep back as he pulled the cake out and set it on a cooling rack.

"Can we frost it now?" Aiden asked, excitedly.

"Nope, it's too hot for frosting right now," Chris told him. "We'll have to wait until Josh gets home from school."

Aiden visually deflated and Chris felt like he'd let him down, but Nikki had told him that the cake had to be cool for the frosting or else it would just melt. "Why don't we go see what mommy and Rachel are up to," he suggested. "Maybe we can watch a movie."

Aiden nodded his head and they went off to find the ladies of the house. With Rachel still napping, Aiden got to pick out the movie and allowed his parents to sandwich him on the couch in the playroom while they watched the movie he picked out, Onward. The position eventually led to him stretched out on their laps with his head on his mom's lap, where he ultimately fell asleep.

By the time he and Rachel were up from their naps, Josh was home from school and it was time to frost and decorate the cake. While they worked, Josh sat at the table doing his homework with Nikki looking on as she colored with Rachel.

"Can it be more blue?" Aiden asked as he looked into the bowl that Chris was stirring the now vibrant blue frosting.

"I don't think we want to add any more food color," Chris told him. "I think we're already going to have a hard time seeing your dinosaur candies."

"Oh," Aiden frowned. "Mom, can you take out some of the blue?"

"It's too late for that," Nikki told him. "But you and dad will figure something out."

"My friend Johnny's mom put cookie crumbles on his cake so it looked like the ground," Josh told them. "And mom wouldn't let me have a cookie after school because we're having cake tonight."

"That is a great idea," Chris said with a grin. Grabbing the cookie jar, he pulled out four of the chocolate cookies they'd made earlier in the week and put them in a ziplock bag. Then he handed the bag to Aiden with a spoon. "I'll frost the cake while you break the cookies with a spoon."

What followed was a noisy affair of Aiden beating the cookies and Chris mumbling things under his breath as he attempted to frost the cake. Nikki had helped him take it out of the baking pan earlier and they'd put it on a rectangular cake board that she'd picked up just for this occasion. She'd told him that it was like buttering toast, but it wasn't.

"This is not like buttering toast," he told his wife when she came to check on his progress.

"It doesn't have to be perfect," Nikki reminded him. "Especially if you're going to put cookie crumbs on it." She squeezed his arm gently and then went back to help Josh with his homework.

Three hours later, the whole family was at Chris's mom's house to celebrate Aiden's birthday a day early. They'd dined on pizza from their favorite pizza place, per Aiden's request, and had played bingo for prizes. Now it was time for cake and ice cream, which meant that Chris was nervous all over again.

"Relax," Nikki told him as their moms' took care of cutting the cake and dishing ice cream after they'd all sung happy birthday to Aiden. "It's going to taste great."

And it did, Chris had to admit after he'd taken his first bite. It wasn't the best cake he'd ever eaten, but it wasn't the worst either.

"This cake tastes great, Nikki," her step-brother Mikey said.

"I can't take credit for this one," Nikki told him. "Chris and Aiden made it."

Chris felt himself turning red as all eyes went to him.

"Now that you mention it," his brother Scott started to say, but stopped when his older sister reached over and flicked his ear. "Hey! I was just going to say it was really blue."

"You two did a great job," Lisa told her son and grandson with a big grin.

"Thanks, grammy," Aiden said, proudly. "I think I want to be a baker when I'm big. And then I'll make you a cake that's as big as your house!"

Chris felt a sense of pride as he listened to his son talk about his plans for the future. He'd always promised himself that he'd encourage his kids to pursue their dreams. He had conquered his fear of baking and, in the process, had unknowingly planted a dream in his son's heart. With tears in the corners of his eyes, he reached over and took Nikki's hand. He'd never felt so proud.

Hey, what are the overwatch children's ages? What's their age differences?

Hm, well that’s an interesting question. Currently in the main story Family Is Who You Choose, I’ve been bouncing around through different points in the timeline which is why all of the children haven’t appeared and only some of them are referenced.

However, I do have their ages and their birthdays mapped out. So, if we’re going from the time Hanzo joins the Watchpoint (which I summarized around October 11th, 2076), these would be their current ages.

Note: I made posts prior to actually fleshing out the timeline stating the kids were at different ages. This is the official representation of how old they are. 

Shingen Shimada - 10 years old

Hayao Shimada - 6 years old

Tsubaki Shimada - 10 years old

Khalid - 10 years old

Mariam - 4 years old

Claire - 8 years old

Rachie -  8 years old

Wrench  -  7 years old

Phillip Oxton - 3 years old

Zhuri Ogundimu - 10 years old

Harold “Harry” Winston II - Newborn

Valentine - 9 years old 

Roxanna - 8 years old

Deidre O’Deoiran - 7 years old

Saoirse O’Deoiran - 7 years old

Jingyi Zhou - Hasn’t been born yet.

Ellie - Hasn’t been born yet.

Tekhartha Monty - Not online yet.

[sol-luminosus]

Do you have any Rachad head canons? Care to share? :D

 Yep, lots of ‘em! Let me section it out (to also help me recall ‘em. Also, this might be pretty long please bear with me)

Cadet Years

1. Chad and Rachel have been acquainted with each other since childhood. However, they weren’t actually close then. At some point, they’ve worked together under the same squad as shown in Operation: M.A.U.R.I.C.E. (I’m supposing this is an entire class of cadets belonging in the same batch)

2. It was apparent from the start that Chad was a promising prodigy and stood out amongst the others. From then on he’d been officially assigned on Moonbase. Meanwhile, Rachel discovered her knack in espionage and trained as a spy under KND’s intel gathering unit. In my head cannon, this is KND’s Intelligence Department and HQ is stationed on Moonbase.

So, their only connection then would have to be: Classmates –> Same Sector

Global Command Years

1. Whoop whoop, fast forward to being full-fledged operatives. After Numbuh 100′s reign, Chad eventually found his way up in the ranks and secured the spot of Supreme Leader. He doesn’t really interact much with Rachel until later on at this time, where she herself had been successful in her career path and is considered as the top spy of her time. So much so, that there were moments where she’d directly report to the Supreme Leader himself.

2. Their personalities and regard towards each other was much different at first. I’ve always seen Rachel as not being a people person in her run as a full-time spy. She was quiet, and preferred to work alone. She’d accomplish her tasks dutifully and especially hated it when things didn’t go as planned. (Something I derived from F.U.G.I.T.I.V.E. when she had a rage episode at Fanny) However, her general disposition is reserved. The only one who seemed to get under her skin though, is Chad. 

Let’s just say she piqued his curiosity. (Tbh, I’ve always seen Chad as a curious person) It’s a Supreme Leader’s job to look out for his organization and the members within it but Rachel was specifically interesting for him. He’d make efforts to try and get close to her, but Rachel would often be rigid and preferred to keep things professional. But this doesn’t mean that his attempts at friendship annoyed her. In fact, she admired him and looked up to him like everyone else. It’s just how she really is with personal relationships. 

Before they both knew it, they hit it off really well and being close was a given to them and an unspoken acknowledgment with their peers. 

3. The first person to ever admit that they felt something more than friendship for the other was Rachel. Here we have 11 or 12 years old Rachy understanding for herself that she had a crush on the Supreme Leader and silently recognizing it. She doesn’t go over the episode of denial and just takes it in. (I doubt she’s one to do that tbh) But, it’s not something that she tells anyone and just kept it to herself.

4. In addition to item 3, the first person who does understand she has a thing for Chad is Abby. 

5. Rachel’s personality drastically develops during this period. Being with, and working alongside Chad has taught her a lot of things. Rachel may sometimes come off as scarily stern but she’d always been someone who cared a hefty lot for her comrades, one of her golden traits. I like to think that it was Chad that encouraged her to believe in her potential as a leader, and later on this inspired her to strive for the position of Supreme Leader after his defection. 

6. I don’t know if I’m the only one that’s noticed that Rachel often preferred to wear very muted colors with her either always seen wearing dark plums or blacks prior to being a Supreme Leader. (this could’ve been because she was under espionage however) Though, I’m fond of the thought of having Chad as the reason why she’d discarded the whole monochrome apparel and decided to go for bright and calming colors as a means to remember him by. (I’m thinking of writing out a fic for this head cannon btw ㅇ◡ㅇ)

7. Chad was the one that started calling her ‘Rach’. And since then, to Rachel, it’s become a very endearing way to call her.

Relationship Summary thus far:  Classmates –> Same Sector –> Acquaintances –> Friends –> Close Friends

Defection

1. For one thing, this isn’t something Chad wanted as an outcome for himself. Assuming the role of an undercover operative and being treated as the enemy of the entire organization he’s worked blood and sweat to hold up was distasteful to him. But the possibility of being accepted into g:KND was also an enticing thought. So he’d grabbed the opportunity anyway. But that didn’t mean it was something he wanted to disclose to Rachel. For one thing, it would hurt her. But if doing so meant continuing being part of the KND then the consequences of his actions was something that he’d been willing to face. At the very least, he could still watch over her and protect her albeit from a distance.

2. Chad’s lack of explanations for his actions had always been something that hurt Rachel, yet she maintained professionalism anyway each time he’d report to her on Moonbase as a double agent. She understood things just couldn’t and wouldn’t be the same between them, especially with the fact that from then on, he’d always give her the cold shoulder. It’s a thought that Chad’s teenage angst isn’t just a mere act to keep up the ‘typical teenager attitude’. For one thing, he’s got a lot of resentment in his system towards the reality of growing up, the g:KND itself, and Numbuh 1. That then contributes a lot to his personal relationships.

Even so, it confuses her more that he never fails to look after her, even saving her countless times from her own missions had he been coincidentally on duty either as a Teen Ninja or a TND operative. Sometimes, she was beginning to think that he’d deliberately be there just to make sure that she was safe. 

3. Basically, if it concerns Rachel’s safety, all forms of reason just instantly flies off and over his head and he rushes in right away just to make sure she wouldn’t get hurt. 

I’ve always thought that Chad was rather impulsive and having to do that was characteristic of him.

4. I also like to think that Chad and Maurice become pretty close as teens despite their seemingly conflicting personalities. And it wasn’t too hard for Maurice to figure out that Chad definitely had feelings for Rachel. Other than that, it wasn’t a surprise for him to understand that Chad hasn’t fully realized his own feelings for himself. (He can get really dense on the love aspect.)

5. Rachel may be accepting of her relationship rift with Chad, but his undercover missions that involve flirting with different girls and even going out with them at times for intel gathering incessantly gets on her nerves. It’s during these times that her temper is shorter and tends to spend excessive hours honing her battle skills. (and imagining she was hitting his face with her staff instead of the training dummy)

6. Chad’s own understanding and coming into terms with his feelings for Rachel is gradual. Whereas it was a simple understanding on Rachel’s case, that wasn’t so for him. 

Ok, actually this is going to overlap with my thoughts with him and Stacey although it’s part of the whole head cannon

So, where does Stacey come in? We do know that he’s depicted as being in a relationship with her. It’s a thought of mine that this is part of the image that he’s trying to keep up with. But while that’s the case, it doesn’t mean that that’s all she is to him. Underneath that jerk of a teen is still that boy that highly valued the people surrounding him, and she’s someone he deems as a friend and part of his new circle. However, he’s wondered for himself at times, why he just couldn’t see her in a different light despite Stacey being a nice girl and all with even a lot of admirers.

And more than once, he’s always found himself, looking forward on each of his trips to Moonbase so he could deliver his report to the Supreme Leader. It’s always something calming to him, and having just a glimpse of Rachel’s face immediately dispels the questions in his head. From here, he begins to understand.

This is also something that he looks back to later on in his older years, and without a doubt, would shake his head at with how silly he was that he just couldn’t get a clue. 

Relationship Summary thus far:  Classmates –> Same Sector –> Acquaintances –> Friends –> Close Friends –> It’s Complicated

g:KND Route

1. Chad doesn’t want her to know about it’s existence for the reason of wanting to keep her safe but well, that doesn’t exactly go as planned. We find Rachel’s status as a fugitive in this timeline. It’s a thought that her reason for vacating the position of Supreme Leader had nothing to do with age. Rather, it was during this time that she’d finally discovered the existence of the g:KND and the threat the organization posed. So when she went rouge, everything was pre-planned, and our runaway teen is furious and on the way to take matters into her own hands and to help stop the g:KND. Along with that, to rescue Chad and to actually give him a piece of her mind about the whole fiasco and secret keeping he’d been doing to her for years.

Relationship Summary thus far:  Classmates –> Same Sector –> Acquaintances –> Friends –> Close Friends –> It’s Complicated –> It’s Still Complicated

Alternate Timeline: TND

1. Let’s say the whole g:KND deal didn’t happen. After her time as a Kids Next Door operative, Rachel gets picked out as one of the teens to remain affiliated with the KND under the TND sub-organization. She still has a strained past with Chad after his ascension as an undercover agent (only difference then is him having no goals of joining the g:KND) and tries to avoid him at all costs. But encountering each other is an unavoidable aspect since the TND is much smaller as compared to the KND. 

2. He still has a habit of throwing all reason into the bin and looking after her to the extent of his capabilities. They often end up bickering due to this.

3. Much to Rachel’s discomfort, her family’s taken a liking to Chad. He didn’t have the best relationship with Harvey but eventually, learned to get along with each other. So, she’d often find him hanging around in her house and it irritates her to no end.

4. The reason for her irritation in item 3 is still linked with her confusion of him with his conflicting actions towards her. She’s not quite sure if he wants to rekindle their relationship or just plans to incessantly annoy her for some unknown reason.

5. For items 2 and 3, he has feelings for her, thus his actions. His 16 years old self still doesn’t understand this. Maurice often finds himself massaging his temples out of exasperation from him still not realizing after all the years that passed.

6. Chad’s parents have known Rachel as a child. At times even in their teen years, she’d wonder why they’d call her to check up on their son despite having a fallout with him in their adolescence. Nonetheless, she can’t seem to understand for herself why she’s happy they’d think of her when it comes to Chad.

7. Chad and Rachel have always belonged in different cliques, with Chad being with Maurice, Cree, and the other McClintock teens and Rachel with Patton and Fanny. Even then, their paths always seem to cross with Chad and Rachel often bickering that it becomes a habit for the 2 groups to encounter each other. At first, Fanny would glower at seeing Cree’s face, but Chad and Rachel’s banters become so routinal that the 2 girls would actually have the heart to exchange civil ‘heys’ and ‘hellos’ with each other, to Patton’s disbelieving horror.

8. It sets Chad off when a guy attempts to get cozy with Rachel especially when they have the nerve to refer to her as ‘Rach’. Nuh-uh, he’ll wreck havoc if he hears that.

Relationship Summary thus far:  Classmates –> Same Sector –> Acquaintances –> Friends –> Close Friends –> It’s Complicated –> They’re together, like why can’t they realize it?

Latter Years 

Overall, disregarding if we’re going with the g:KND or no g:KND timeline, I doubt that they’d really have it easy. Chad and Rachel’s relationship always seem to be stuck on that ‘it’s complicated’ category during their youth. They’re both very duty bound characters, whether the reason for it is riding on what people expect of them on the roles and responsibilities that they to fulfill or for the good of the majority of people. They’re each other’s soulmates, something which they may or may not understand later on. 

At some point, it’s a thought that their paths might even completely drift away from one another with each of them growing up and maturing with the other completely absent from their lives.

In this head cannon however, when they do find each other again, they make no more hesitations. And although they’ve been through a lot, people aren’t surprised that they still ended up winding up together. 

And their little blonde spitfire that’s the spitting image of Chad with Rachel’s indomitable spirit in him is a proof of this. ´･ᴗ･`

Phew, that was lengthy. I know I was only asked to share my head cannons but I swear, these were specifically categorized in my head from which timeline they came from. 

These head cannons may also vary because at times for my fics, I’d also include head cannons exclusively reserved for whichever universe the story is set in.

Thank you for asking this! I really enjoyed answering this ask! (◑‿◐)

Also, here’s a little sketchy Rachad / 274/362 art I did some time ago when I was practicing my former art style (very manga / manhwa style inspired I know) prior to how I usually draw in now.

Timeline: 2024 October 18th, Friday, evening. Location: Théo Café & Restaurant, Bangkok Attire: See above - Rachi is the Queen of Everything! And Chai-Chai is finally smiling! With: @chaisarinawat

Rachi and Chai have wanted to go out to eat together for a while, and finally had a chance to do so. Rachi was happy to see that his baby Chai wasn't sad any more, after what happened in Japan, treating him to a good meal.

Rachi also texted his P'Dan, lifting his silence since Chai indicated that he had forgiven him and was going to try and move forward - Chai did say he still wasn't ready to totally trust Khun Dan, and Rachi understood.

Like the mommy he is, Rachi gave Chai advice about work and how a different mindset could help him with feeling more comfortable, even if he was moving around to different departments.

At the end of the night, Chai gave his mommy Rachi a big cuddle, mentioning that he was so happy to have found a friend like him.

Avoid violating chronology when plotting story

Unless youre plan a skilful writer or have 1 incredible editor, turn d give birth the urge to reassign back and away in quantify from exposure to moving-picture show. Instead, set up the degree as it unfolds chronologically. That is, present the neverthelessts in the sequence that they would occur. \n\n usually violating chronology conf physical exertions readers. Thats beca riding habit severally sequence mould in a tw chalk uple contains its own milieu. For example, a legend set in 1979 probably ordain have fonts talk of the township slightly or affected by gas shortages, flash and the Equal Rights Amendment plot very some people at all use computers in their workplace, and no one has a carrel phone. In contrast, a fable set in 1999 probably will have timbres lecture about or affected by gas on a junior-gradeer floor a dollar bill in price, low unemployment, and universal health care; a majority of workers use computers in their workplace, and um teen have jail cell phones or at least pagers. If you unendingly shift mingled with these two time frame, readers may have to delight in wherefore the parts dont use their cell phone to expire out of a jam in the 1979 scene or how theyre fit to easily grasp gas to purport wherever they a care(p) in the 1999 scene because keeping data track of what year the story is occurring poop be difficult. \n\nThis doesnt plastered that such a story cant work. legion(predicate) good novels erupt chronology. But if youre going to essay that, doing so should rush the story to a greater extent dramatic or help straighten out a character or theme. \n\nOf course, sometimes we need to add a scene that occurs in our storys timeline to begin with some of those weve written. kind of than restructure the story, we superpower include it as a flashback or relate it as translation in conversation among two people. \n\n stay fresh flashbacks to a minimum, however. What makes the flash back sizable is that it is a modified, right on moment that unveils crucial information about the character. Utilize flashbacks also many times, and the moments trance to be special; the reader mogul even wonder why those flashbacks werent simply organised chronologically. \n\nResist exposition as well. A quick develop or even sentence in dialogue is passable, that avoid written material a tenacious passage in which a character reiterates a medieval event as if he were a news rachis or someone reading loudly from an encyclopedia. \n\nOn a more line-by-line direct of report, present enlarge in scenes as they occur chronologically. When non doing so, youre employ a rear-view mirror description, in which an quarry is described scarce after its been part of the action. For example, He slid into the cave hollow that his foot had and felt. This type of composition allows the reader to regulate the setting entirely after the character has interacted with it in s hort, its like looking at a landscape through with(predicate) a rear-view mirror.\n\n adopt an editor? Having your book, billet document or academic radical proofread or edited earlier submitting it can ascend invaluable. In an scotch climate where you incline heavy competition, your writing needs a second centerfield to give you the edge.

Timeline: 2024 October 17th, Thursday, 4pm Location: Dragon Entertainment Office, Bangkok Mood: Stressed, discouraged, worried Attire: See above - Chai Chai is tired Dx With: @ippotis Music: N/A

Chai has been tired these days, working two jobs - one during the day and one at night. The pay cut from being Khun Dan's assistant to the mail delivery boy was hard on his finances, forcing him to pick up more hours at the escorting service.

In between his work, he did finally message back his P'Rachi, who was trying to get in contact with him. Chai had been so worried that his mommy would hate him, having no doubt already spoken to Khun Dan, but Rachi instead comforted him. They talked for a long time, with Rachi even apologising for what happened, expressing his unhappiness with his P'Dan and letting Chai know that he was there for him if he wanted support. So at the very least, that was something positive.

Right now, Chai is doing his last mail run for the day, knowing it would be time for him to leave soon. He waits for the elevator patiently, yawning and rubbing his eyes. The doors open and two people inside exit, leaving it empty. Chai steps, presses his floor, noticing that the lift will stop once before it gets to where he needs to go...

Timeline: 2024 October 11th, Friday, 11:54 P.M. Location: After Party, Bangkok. Mood: Horny, Restless, Sexually Frustrated Attire: See this video With: @savagexgarden -> One Night Stand Stranger -> Random Escort Music: Fashion by Britney Manson

One night stand/s...

The night was not going planned.

Rachi had attended a fashion show with Sing, the famous actor, though he knew him more as Nong Red's best friend. They had watched the show, with Rachi getting ideas for outfits he could wear for his social media dance videos, and now were at the after party. Did Rachi have a bit too much to drink? Yes. Did he care? No. There were so many things he wanted to forget right now and partying with Sing - who wasn't really that into it - and drinking was the best medicine.

His dancing attracted the attention of a lot of people. Rachi hoped one of them would take him home. He usually paid for sex, but he was fucking horny and restless and there were no escorts in sight.

Eventually someone sidled up next to him, grinding into his ass and whispering about how sexy he was in his ear. Rachi asked if he wanted to find a more private place - he said yes. So Rachi found Sing, told him he was leaving early, and left with the stranger.

It went downhill from there. His one night stand just... didn't seem able to commit. Their make-out was hot, but that was all the other seemed willing to do. Didn't even try to touch his dick, and he even had the nerve to ask Rachi for his phone number - Rachi told him where to shove it and stormed away, reminding himself why he stuck to paying for sex instead of taking a chance.

Since the only people who would do the things Rachi wanted were escorts, he turned to them. He went to a club he knows would offer that kind of service, and found someone immediately - tall, dark hair, muscular - no, Rachi was not seeking out someone similar looking to Aisoon. This just happened to be his type of guy, okay?

They talked, briefly. Rachi wanted to play. He was fine with whatever price, even took care of booking a hotel room - he just wanted to fuck.

The escort was... fine. Just fine. Maybe Rachi was too drunk to get it up in the first place. Or maybe he was turned off from the one night stand. Or maybe the escort just... got the job done. There was no playful banter. No foreplay, no role play, no tension---

God, was Rachi ever going to find another escort that matched up to him??

Rachi has many past lovers, though none of them ever stuck around. Their role in the relationship was an act, their feelings for Rachi non-existent, with their priorities lying mainly in the man's body and what it could do for them. Break-ups came out of nowhere, with Rachi on the receiving end of all of them, causing the man to become despondent when it came to finding a partner. He'd often complain to Dan, who has heard every. single. one. of Rachi's love-life and sex-life stories.

Currently, Rachi's 'romances' include a plethora of men from the escort services he uses. He's found out that while it can by costly, he'd rather sleep with people who he won't become emotionally attached to in order to spare himself any further heartache. Plus, escorts are usually fine with his more devious desires, and are willing to play with him in the way he likes.

>> PLATONIC:

Dan Sangchareon, 30M, childhood best friend

Rachi and Dan have been best friends since childhood. They know each other better than anyone, from their fears to their desires. They're incredibly close, with people around them often mistaking them as being in a relationship.

Chai Sarinawat, 23M, friend

Rachi met Chai at the younger man's workplace at the time, where he was working behind a bar at a nightclub Rachi visited on a whim. They got to talking - there's no better person than a bartender to talk to - and hit it off quickly. Chai was drawn in by Rachi's confidence and carefree spirit, and Rachi immediately felt a need to protect and watch over the young, down-on-his-luck man. They have a good relationship, jokingly calling each other "mommy(mummy)" and "baby/son/child". Rachi helped Chai get a job as Dan's assistant, after seeing him struggle to make ends meet. He knows that Chai has been in an abusive relationship and is terrified of seeing his ex, but does not know to what extent.

>> BACKSTORY:

Rachi was born to Lertchai and Asmara in Bangkok, Thailand. His father owns the 'Victory Gym' company and manages various gyms and fitness centres across Thailand and has a few across Asia, including Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. His mother is a women's only fitness instructor. The two bonded over a passion for fitness and exercise, keeping in touch even when Lertchai was travelling to other countries in Asia to manage his company.

The two eventually fell in love and married, having a destination wedding in Indonesia and another ceremony in Thailand.

When Asmara was pregnant with Rachi, the tests all came out that she and Lertchai were having a baby girl. They had the name 'princess' picked out in Indonesian and Thai; however, Rachi came out a boy. Lertchai changed his name to Mongkut instead, meaning 'crown'. As Rachi grew up, his mother recognised immediately that her little boy was a little princess too, and so gave him the nickname 'Putri'. Rachi is only called Putri by his mother, Mongkut by his father, and introduces himself as Rachini or Rachi to everyone else.

He has a good relationship with his parents, who are based in Bangkok but travel a lot throughout Asia for his father's company. While he doesn't like working out at the gym, he does love cardio fitness like his mother, helping instruct yoga and pilates classes. His father also helped him open his own studio in Thailand, where he's currently building his career as a trainer for models and actresses, as well as occasionally providing light fitness services for others.

Timeline: 2024 October 25th, Friday, 11:37 P.M. Location: An exclusive club in Bangkok. Mood: Horny, restless, sexually frustrated. Attire: See above - when dancing, he ditches the jacket. Boy is looking fine asf With: @residentbadboy Music: Up - aespa

Rachi had been keeping himself busy in the days following the listening party. It had been a fun night overall, and good distraction from his feelings of frustration. A lot had happened in the past few weeks, and Rachi was filled with pent-up sexual tension that was not easily satisfied.

During the day, Rachi was at his studio, focussed as he recorded videos for his social media. Before the listening party, there had been a fashion show, and Rachi had been the one instructing the models on how to improve their walk and movement. Since then, he had been getting a lot of requests for videos and tutorials on his growing online platforms, which kept him busy. He was back to talking with P'Dan, who had made an effort to make amends with his baby Chai-Chai, and Nong Red - while still lacking in some memory - was doing a lot better since his accident earlier in the month.

Needing a change of scenery, Rachi decided to close his studio early, exhausted from instructing and just wanting to dance. A few friends he had made at the listening party invited him to an exclusive club, so he had gotten ready to go. One of those people seemed interested in Rachi, messaging privately and flirting around about dancing with him when they got there. Rachi responded in kind. Why not? Maybe they'd fuck tonight too. And Rachi hoped that if they did, it would be better than the last couple of times he slept with someone.

Maybe it would be like... him.
