[rissfrizz]

TMNT 2012 but we make Karai even more of a secret big sister

[zacksfairest]

Please sort Vaela and Zaresh by Hogwarts house, Avatar bending elements, and which TMNT turtle they would identify with most, if any. What would it be like if they had met as kids? Teenagers? Talk to me about a role swap AU because I am always here for those

rubs hands together oh boy oh fucking boy

this got REAL LONG im so sorry

Hogwarts house:

Zaresh: Slytherin. No doubt in my mind. He is ambitious and cunning as all fuck. The entire reason he was banished from his home in the Underdark was because he was caught stealing from the matriarch that had taken his father as a lover, and was only caught after snatching a few choice baubles…..probably half a dozen times. The fact he wasn’t caught sooner (and they only knew about the one time) is all thanks to his cunning, honestly.

Vaela: Maaannnnnnn……..is it possible for her to change houses? Because I’m feeling SUPER Hufflepuff before she meets Zaresh, but after she escapes him, I’m feeling more of a combo Hufflepuff/Gryffindor. Gryffinpuff? Is that what they’re called? But she wouldn’t be straight up Gryffindor. Her time in Zaresh’s clutches completely rewrites how she sees the world (Hufflepuff apparently believe in fair play, which is absolutely something Vaela before her captivity would believe wholeheartedly, but with Zaresh’s manipulation and deceit, that would go flying out the window), but not…completely? And she more just rebuilds herself to be far more courageous and have a fuckload more self confidence as she slowly but surely faces the demons Zaresh created. So yeah TL;DR: Pre-Zaresh: Hufflepuff, Post-Zaresh: Gryffinpuff

Bending Elements:

Zaresh: Fire. Through and through. He is all passion and impulse, claims and consumes whatever he wishes. An unstoppable force in the face of nearly everything he comes up against, whether through manipulation and deceit or brute force and savagery. He does not know mercy, if there is one thing his people taught him, it is that mercy has no room in a drow’s heart. Not that he has any desire to make room for it in there, anyway.

Vaela: Water. She is not destructive by nature, she is calm and loving and soothing and gentle. She never had a truly violent impulse in her life, and, as much as she wished to be important and stand out in society, the heart of it stemmed from a want to help people. She wanted to be like the famed and legendary adventurers she’d grown up hearing about, occasionally seen passing through her city on some great quest. She wanted to be important, but help people on that path. To earn that fame through helping others.However, just because she is not destructive by nature, does not mean she cannot be, something that Zaresh will later learn after she has escaped him. She is no longer that carefree, lonely girl he met in the market, and she will not go quietly if he comes for her. She will swell like the fiercest sea in a raging storm.

TMNT: (i love this category oh my god)

Zaresh: None. He will identify the most with The Shredder. He is not at all a warm and fuzzy person.

Vaela: MIKEY!!!!!!! Mikey is so happy go-lucky, but he does not fuck around when it comes to his friends and family. After Vaela escapes Zaresh, she purposely does not go home, choosing instead to just run, because she knows her family is the first place Zaresh will look for her, and she is not willing to put them in danger in order to be safe. She knows Zaresh would gladly kill her family to get her back, and then lay the blame for their deaths at her feet. That is exactly something I could picture Mikey doing to protect his brothers. He would never put them in danger, even if it meant running off by himself.

Kids:

Oh, man. Ohhhhhhhhh man this one hurts a bit. Zaresh is a product of his childhood. Drow society is savage, brutal, violent, entirely selfish and self pleasing, and matriarchal. He kinda hates women because the only women he has ever really known beat him into submission, reminding him that he is nothing but a lowly male drow. To raise your hand to a female drow means death. He didn’t even really know his own mother, the matriarch that took his father up as a lover had his mother killed so she could have his father. Zaresh was only kept alive because his father begged for it, the one memory of his wife that still lived. I like to think that maybe his mother might have truly loved both her husband and their son, but who knows! Zaresh never knew her and for all he knows she was just as cruel and terrible as that bitch sitting on the that gaudy throne.

ANYWAY I DIGRESS, let’s say, if they met as children, they are left without the oppressive influence of drow society. I think they could have been friends. I really do. Zaresh probably could have been a loving and sweet boy and played adventurer games with Vaela. He would always try to convince her to play the princess he has to rescue from the evil red dragon, but she would huff loudly and refuse, saying that if he’s gonna fight a red dragon, they would be fighting it together.

Vaela would be pretty much the same, but maybe with a little less of a sense of mediocrity, because with a friend like Zaresh, who entertains her wild fantasies of being a famous hero, she feels a little less lonely and insignificant.

Oh wow that one hurt a lot THANKS LIZ.

Role Swap AU:

HOOOOOLY SHIT. So are we talking Vaela is a female drow banished from her home and making a life on the surface? Because WOW that would be even worse than Zaresh. Zaresh is making up for decades of the denial basic rights, relishing in this newfound power he has not being seen as “some lowly and insignificant male.”  Which is bad enough.

But a female drow? She would think herself entitled to anything and everything she wants right off the bat. She would be cold and cruel. There would be no passion. Zaresh is all passionate pursual of what he wants, what he deserves. Vaela would be cold, calculating, and cruel.

Pursuing the escaped Zaresh? Her prized wood elf? It wouldn’t even be to get him back, it would purely be to right the very grievous slight against her. She couldn’t care less about getting him back, but this male wood elf, lower than even her male drow elf kin, dares to slip through her fingers? He will be begging her for death by the time she is through with him, and, even then, she may just leave him for the wolves to claim.

Zaresh would be the sweetest boy you could ever hope to meet, probably with a passion for crafting and music (specifically the violin), but would also have fantasies of going out into the world and leaving his mark, whether it be through various adventurers or with a traveling music troupe.
