#sand's shitty headcanons

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

random percy headcanons:

wants to be the photographer friend SO bad and he technically is but like 70% of the pics come out blurry or weird bc there was a monster attack in the middle of them. his instagram is truly so chaotic looking.

literally always has seashells on him someone will ask him for a pencil or spare change and he has to empty all his pockets of shells to find it. drops his backpack and a bunch of shells fall out. kicks his shoes off and sand and shells fly out and his mortal friends are like percy What the Fuck

his eyes glow underwater!! bioluminescent king. no one told him though and he didn't find out until he joined his school's swim team and terrified everyone (he managed to convince them his contacts were having a weird reaction to chlorine lmao)

he really likes art!! he doesn't just pretend to for rachel's sake he genuinely enjoys painting with her. he likes splatter paint, collages and pop art styles the best. one day after splitting some edibles they realized percy could manipulate water colors and went CRAZY with it

will ask to be excused during class and comes back like an hour later with scorch marks all over his face bleeding from one of his ears covered in dust missing three fingernails rips in his jeans and a fat lip and the teacher is like percy what the actual hell were you doing in the bathroom all this time and he's just like uhhhhhh I have ibs

the brand from camp jupiter did unfortunately (for sally) Unlock something in him lmfao he keeps getting shitty little tattoos. usually stick-n-poke but someone's friends cousin's girlfriend's brother has a gun that gets brought to parties every now and then. most of them are sloppy but you can tell what they are HOWEVER he has one that was supposed to be a seal that came out looking like one of those shitty ms paint crying memes. annabeth laughed at him for ten minutes straight when she saw it.

he wanted to dye his hair blue but he was too chicken to bleach his entire head so he just did the tips. his hair is curly though so it looks absolutely ridiculous but he loves it

percy and annabeth get a crusty little yappy white dog in college and he carries it around like a baby lmao

back to his chaotic instagram, he's got so many pics of him like, relaxing at the bottom of the mariana trench or hugging a giant squid or riding on a whale shark and his mortal friends all think he's just really good at photoshop and this is a very specific bit he decided to commit to. they're always like lol percy where do you even FIND these pictures are you subscribed to like scientific journals for the laughs? but no he just took them all on his shell phone

has an ongoing prank war with annabeth's little brothers bobby and matthew but like it's Unhinged. they're playing 5D chess and she has no idea whats going on

weird tshirts!!! he loves them! like

shit like this or those 'women want me fish fear me' shirts, anything with a funny or incomprehensible slogan is going in his closet right along with his band tees lmfao

bought estelle a panda pillow pet when she was born 🥺

can NOT bring himself to eat seafood no matter how many times poseidon has told him its fine. he's like NO these are my FRIENDS JONATHAN WAS TELLING ME ABOUT HIS GRANDDAUGHTERS WEDDING LITERALLY YESTERDAY WHY IS HE ON A PLATTER DAD. they had to give up and just start eating normal land food at the palace every time he comes to visit lmfao

gets into horsegirl antics with hazel she NEEDS to know everything the horses have to say. they spend hours gossiping in the stables.

movie nights in the poseidon cabin were 10000% a thing and when he was missing annabeth and thalia and grover (and a few others) would still sleep in there every now and then and talk about how much they miss him :(

percy and beckendorf had the worlds most elaborate handshake

he DOES impulse buy stuff just because they're ocean-themed. stuffed animals, home decor, school supplies, clothes, you name it he bought it if theres like a fish on it

has more scars from crashing off his skateboard than he does from monster attacks

grover is somehow the only person who's ever noticed percy is severely claustrophobic

has a deep passion for adele. I can't explain this one I just feel and know it to be true.

he and annabeth both proposed to each other at the same time and they were SO mad about it they kept yelling over each other's speeches lmao

he can SING but he doesn't know it. sally keeps trying to record him singing to himself but something always happens to the camera and she loses the evidence

called chiron a brony one time and mr d thought it was so funny he was nice to percy for an entire week

the camp keeps trying to convince him to teach sword fighting lessons to the younger kids but he can NOT bring himself to swing a sword at a 9 year old so he keeps getting injured

has the most complicated iced coffee order in the world his go-to local coffee shop finally just put the damn drink on the menu and named it after him

he IS the quiet kid in the back of your math class that always has his hood up to try and hide his headphones and eats increasingly elaborate meals out of his backpack when the teacher isn't looking. one time someone caught him with a rotisserie chicken in the middle of a geometry final.

he argued that he DID have enough to share with the class

currently obsessed with the image of him knocking back a container of sea salt as if it was a shot and his mortal friends being like hey! what the actual fuck! and he's just like uhhhhh anemia kills!

its his birthday<3

One Bed Trope Headcanons - SFW (Cross Guild x GN!Reader)

🤡 Buggy

You two are sharing the bed, but he’s creating a pillow barrier in the middle. Don’t you dare cross that line.

It works out since he moves a lot in his sleep. The soft barrier kept you safe from his flailing limbs.

You wake up first, clinging to the edge of the bed since all of Buggy’s sleep activity pushed the barrier towards you.

He probably crossed the pillow barrier himself and is cuddling it.

3/5 - Not the worst night’s sleep you’ve had.

🦅 Mihawk

Adamantly refuses to share the bed with you. He might sit on the bed until you fall asleep, though. Maybe.

He’ll try to refuse taking a blanket or pillow, but will give in if you insist enough.

Once you’re asleep, Mihawk will settle down on the couch. No couch? The floor it is, then. He’ll lean against the wall and get some shut-eye that way.

Mihawk wakes up first. Honestly, it’s hard to tell if he actually slept through the night or just dozed.

4/5 - You had the whole bed, but you felt a little guilty.

🐊 Sir Crocodile

He needs sleep, so he’s sharing the bed with you.

Crocodile won’t sleep under the covers, though. You should probably pull the blankets to your side before he falls asleep. Once he’s out, the guy won’t move for anything.

It’s hard to tell who woke up first. You think it’s Crocodile and his movement woke you up. He blames you for interrupting his rest.

2/5 - You woke up to sand in the bed.

⚔️ All four of you with one bed? Someone fucked up the reservation.

Sir Crocodile in the bed with you, still no blanket sharing. Mihawk doesn’t put up a fight and Crocodile will not give in to Buggy’s whining.

Again, Mihawk’s on the couch or floor. No complaints here, it works out fine.

But Buggy. He’s sleeping in the bathtub. He’ll wrap himself up in a blanket and make a pretty decent sleeping area. Unfortunately, Crocodile forgot about this arrangement before turning on the shower and drenching the poor clown.

Oh wait, there’s no tub? Just a small bathroom with a shower. Oh dear.

Buggy’s going to have to sleep on the floor, but it is hecking uncomfortable. He’ll complain and grumble until Mihawk or Crocodile (or both) threaten to give him something to complain about. Eventually Buggy will give up and pass out, but he’ll be extra pissy in the morning.

5/5 - Shitty sleep, a lot of tension and awkwardness, but now you have a great story to share.

[nekropsii]

On the topic of Eridan Discourse (eridiscourse?) earlier, I typed up a very long ask this morning (brought to mind by the discussion) trying to pinpoint a specific thing about the way the fandom handles transfem Eridan headcanons that rubbed me the wrong way. Instead of sending it I spent the rest of the day pondering it. Because the thing that was nagging me wasnt "people do it in a mocking way" and certainly not "headcanoning characters as transfem is cringe" and I finally figured it out.

(it feels wrong to use he/him in this context/phrasing so she/her it is) I feel like a lot of transfem Eridan content treats her transitioning as a cure-all for her negative qualities (sometimes explicitly as a punchline to the joke! but a lot of the time more subtly too) in a way that doesn't even necessarily come across as transphobic so much as just plain old misogyny. And yes, if you want to explore something like "once she solves this problem for herself she's able to deal with resolving her harmful viewpoints" that's cool and I get it! I might be more onboard with the headcanon if I saw more content that took itself seriously!

But most of the time it comes across as a binary of "girl will not be as shitty as when she was a boy because that is how Girl and Boy genders work" in a similar way to some June characterizations that replace her character traits to make her fit a certain image of "Girl". Beyond that (even in tons of March Eridan doodles that aren't even straight up drawn in the mocking light of the original) I feel like that same issue comes up in a ton of transfem Eridan art--she's just so flattened and sanitized even by people who seem to be genuinely trying to portray her in good faith.

This also kinda brings to mind the occasional discussion I've seen of transfem Cronus which I believe you've commented on before. My guess for most content I've stumbled on of that (including stuff I've seen one of my good friends create!) is that it's a riff on the March Eridan stuff (which afaik is the reason transfem Eridan is popular in the first place) and not taking the implications/fulfilled stereotypes it brings up into account...which (once again) seems to usually be avoided by tidying up the character flaws and ignoring negative actions to create a Good And Proper girl character which. yeah, isn't much better.

Anyways WOOF that got long but hey I think it was somehow originally longer before it became actual analysis. idk, do you think this checks out? ( oh I added some formatting inspired by how you write posts in hopes it makes it easier to follow...)

Yeah, I don't tend to be a fan of transfem!Eridan works - and even some June works - because a lot of people handle it in ways I just find... Iffy. If it's not weirdly oversexualizing a 13 year old, then it's acting like Transition is a magical Cure-All for every single one of your issues as a person. I don't think it's valuable to pretend that realizing you're Queer automatically deletes any prior character flaws. It's harmful, even - plenty of people will discover their gender doesn't line up with what's been expected of them, or that their attractions aren't a part of the cisheterosexual norm, and... Believe themselves to have done all the legwork necessary to wash their hands clean of any other bigotries. Plenty of Queer people are bigots - be that lateral bigotries, or racism, or ableism, or what-have-you - it's more common than anyone wants to admit. There is a reason that the Progress flag exists, you know?

Eridan and June tend to get flattened down to very stereotypical ideas of the gender of "Girl". June's wildly out of character and portrayed more like fanon!Jade, than... Well, herself as she appears in the comic. Eridan's issues are sanded down to the point where all she is is an evocatively posed barely-teenage mannequin in a skimpy outfit. Both of them are regularly portrayed as having had their issues blip out of existence the second they realized they might not be guys. The transfem!Cronus headcanon will never make sense to me and never be morally okay to me. To say Cronus is Transfeminine is just outright violent Transmisogyny, no matter who it's coming from. That's not even a fucking conversation. It isn't a debate. That's not cute. Really? The guy who fakes minority statuses to try to sleep with people? The aggressive, hyper-bigoted sexual predator? The sex pest who isn't above repeatedly sexually targeting children, one of which he is related to? That? You saw that and thought "That's a trans woman"? Really? You're seriously saying that with zero ounce of shame in your body? Go to hell.

Back to June and Eridan - Part of the issue is Misogyny, yes, but I feel another issue coming to play is that a lot of Tumblr seems to view Queerness as inherently Virtuous, rather than a normal thing that people just happen to be sometimes. Tumblr's prone to very... Unwittingly Catholic mindsets, and Queerness being inherently Morally Cleansing is definitely one of them... And it goes... Extremely unchallenged, all of the time. It's pretty grating, honestly.

Ghoap headcanons

Simon 'Ghost' Riley and John 'Soap' Mactavish relationship headcanons

Soap is the most affectionate in public. He always sticks close to Ghost, (minding his personal space, as Ghost isn't one for public displays) brushing up against him. Touches his shoulders, his arms, his back. He brushes their knees together under tables. Very verbal, too. He constantly makes jokes he really, really shouldn't be making at work around Ghost. And Ghost really, really wants him to shut up sometimes.

Ghost is the most affectionate in private. He touches constantly, never lets go. Adores touching Soap- it makes him feel good. Feel human. Brushing their teeth, laying in bed, watching a movie. It doesn't matter where - Ghost has to have a hand on Soap. His knee, his arm, anywhere he can, he will.

Ghost realised he was down bad during the 'alone' mission, when Soap was shot. He was terrified Soap wouldn't get up in time, wouldn't move out the way of the oncoming bullets. He ran and left Soap because he was terrified he was dead, and he didn't want to see him like that.

<><><><>

On the way to the safehouse after the 'alone' mission, Soap went into shock due to his injury. Cue Ghost having to desperately patch him up in the back of the car as Soap is fighting him off, confused and in pain. Ghost holds him down, comforts him, and they end up sitting together, pulled over on the road, listening to the shitty little radio for a while, before continuing on.

Ghost has nightmares of not saving Soap from Hassan. Dreams that Hassan was successful in throwing Soap out the window, that his bullet hit too late. He wakes up searching for the man each time. And each time, Soap is there.

Soap has nightmares too. Nightmares about being attacked by dogs as a kid, and, again as a soldier, of them tearing at his face, mauling him. Ghost always holds him close after these, and is extra careful to make sure no dogs come near the sergeant.

<><><><>

Soap does the same for Simon, when it comes to scorpions, spiders, and snakes. In fact, he has little fear of them, and will pick them up randomly to chuck them away from a dumbfounded Ghost, who could very easily shoulder his way through everything. It still makes him smile, even if Soap can't see it.

Soap's love language is physical touch, and while Ghost also loves touch, his love language is gift-giving. He collects things from every mission. A little stuffed bear, a fridge magnet, a tub of sand. Anything he finds, he gifts to Soap. Soap has a little shelf in his room just for those trinkets.

On leave, they like to drive up to Soap's sister's house and steal his niece for the weekend. She loves coming on trips with them. They take her hiking, to the zoo, to the movies. They spoil her like she was their own child. It's healing for both Soap and Ghost. Incredibly healing.

Round 2: Match 14

"Two Sides of the Same Coin"- Two things that are regarded as part of the same thing. Even if they're very different, they have at least one common thread that helps them fit into this trope.

Propaganda (under the cut):

Scrooge McDuck and Flintheart Glomgold:

(no propaganda)

Hershel Layton and Jean Descole:

"Layton is the protagonist and Descole is his antagonist for the whole prequel trilogy, with a hero/villain dynamic. Both of them have interests in archaeology and puzzles, they both know fencing, they are both excellent at unraveling a person and what makes them tick. Their confrontations are quite interesting because of this and also pretty funny at times because Descole is a cartoonish villain

MAJOR SPOILERS for this next bit idk how you handle this in propaganda but people still tag these after 10 years

In the third game of the prequel trilogy (Azran Legacy) Descole actually disguises himself by my unmasking and cooperates with Layton and pals under his real name and appearance, Desmond Sycamore. The similarities between Desmond and Layton are also very obvious and they work together very well (also turns out they are both archaeology professors). Desmond eventually reveals himself as Descole and you might feel really stupid if you didn't figure it out before the "reveal."

Des then eventually reveals himself as Layton's long-lost older brother with the same shitty father who's the main villain of the game. He goes through a sort-of redemption where he shows that he has grown to care about people more than he seemed to in the previous games where he was a villain. Then he fakes his death and they never canonically see each other again (although people often headcanon that they eventually reconcile and Des shows up to bother Layton sometimes with antics).

Also in Miracle Mask there's a pretty heavy-handed metaphor for how Layton and Des are "two sides of the same coin." There's this artifact called the Mask of Chaos which is rumored to have a counterpart called the Mask of Order. Layton figures out that they are both part of the same mask, and he and Descole (in disguise) put the two halves into this machine and solve the city from being drowned in sand (that part's not important). Anyway the metaphor is that Layton represents order and Des represents chaos and they're both two halves of a whole.

Also they both have tragic backstories where they have loved ones who died violently and they never properly coped with it. The fact that they lost each other as brothers when they were children and then lost each other again so soon after reuniting just adds another layer to this.

There's probably more tbh. Also be prepared for the layton fans on tumblr to unionize to vote for layton. We are small but mighty."

[anticidic]

Been thinking more about basilisk!Dazai and human!Chuuya lately and will probably write something eventually so here I go with more headcanons:

Dazai having an affinity for warm baths and soaking in the tub inhaling the steam. He'd love going to the beach and walking along the shore as well. He'd also really like rolling around in the warm sand and getting his feet wet by the water.

He's down to do anything by the beach because the sand and the sea salt on the wind feels so nice to him so they often have date nights on the beach making little campfires and roasting marshmallows. Also, volleyball...building sandcastles...trying to surf...I say trying because I don't think Dazai has very good sea legs when he's bipedal. I think he'd have coordination issues—falling into the water a lot (and doesn't even mind it)

When he's not in his human form, he sheds his skin much like a snake and the cycle reflects in his human form: after shedding, in his human form his skin is silky smooth, hair fluffier, his eyes crystal clear, and he doesn't wear as many bandages to cover his skin because the scales recede. But the longer the cycle goes on up until it's time to shed again, his skin grows rougher (and he wears a lot more bandages), there's a cloudiness in his eyes, and he's sensitive to light and sounds and just wants to curl up in bed.

Chuuya going out to get medicine at the pharmacy for Dazai thinking he's ill but Dazai's gone when Chuuya returns and there's a note by the bed that 'something came up' and Dazai needed to leave, aka his shitty excuse to go back into the sea to actually shed his skin because it's agony sustaining his human form.

Chuuya finds out about the truth either when Dazai's acting really weird and locking himself in a room and refusing to come out because he lost a contact lenses and doesn't want to kill Chuuya, or something really mundane like Dazai gets something in his eye, it makes his eye water, loosens the contact lenses, and some poor person just happened to be looking at him and was petrified on the spot

Chuuya feeling the subtle fluctuations in Dazai's body temperature. Sometimes Dazai's a little cooler without the lights on or the heat going. Or in the winter. He'd love being bundled in heating blankets during the winter. Chuuya turning on a little heating lamp on the nightstand and Dazai just kinda scooting closer and snuggling next to it.

Chuuya sometimes hearing on the news about the Tokyo Bay's waters being unusually turbulent that time of year and the sea life being restless in response to Dazai's fluctuating emotions. No one thinks it's an ancient creature at hand, just unusual weather patterns. Stressed Dazai just putting everything around him on edge—fishermen have a hard time leaving the ports, and more wildlife is seen beached on the shores.

Dazai brings a piece of treasure from the depths to subtly test Chuuya to see if he's actually pure hearted or might be just faking it and waiting to submit to human greed. Dazai's seen it happen countless times so when Chuuya's in awe and doesn't even want to touch it because he feels like he might disturb some ancient treasure, Dazai's heart swells a lil bit and makes him more curious about Chuuya.

Chuuya starts having vivid dreams of the sea more often the longer they're together; he's like seeing through Dazai's eyes in his dreams.

When Chuuya does put all the pieces together and realizes what Dazai is after extensive research, he goes to the shore one late night when it's silent and there's no activity to talk to the water and try to coax Dazai into resurfacing when he thinks Dazai's either not there, ignoring him, or maybe Chuuya had it wrong all along, and Chuuya just talks to the ocean in the hopes his voice carries and Dazai hears. Dazai just hearing Chuuya say that not all humans are bad. And that Chuuya really loved him from the bottom of his heart. That he's human, so he can't stick around forever, but that he forgives Dazai and he knows loneliness too.

Dazai doesn't resurface immediately because he's not in his human form and doesn't want to harm Chuuya, but the sky clears, the constant rain lets up, the ocean calms, and Chuuya hears about it on the news how it's the first beautiful day in a while in Yokohama and it's a metaphor for Dazai finding peace

[triglycercule]

at the beach so we pullin out the mtt beach headcanons GO

horror buys one of those cheap diving kits with goggles and flippers and always ALWAYS challenges killer to races

killer always accepts because he thinks he can beat horror (he loses EVERY time. horror's just too fast with those damn flippers)

dust goes up to random people's beach chairs when they're away and sits in them and then when they come back he sees how long he can gaslight them into thinking that was his chair from the start

while horror is napping killer and dust will fill up his skull with sand. he doesn't wake up until they're like 75% done

dust likes to fully submerge himself in the water and then pop up and jump scare killer (killer always gets scared no matter how much dust does it)

dust tried to scare horror with this prank but then he was pushed underwater and forced to eat the wet watery sand by horror

dust and horror don't play around with sand around killer's chest because his soul is near that area and killer VISCERALLY hates sand on his soul

killer can mix his eye goop with sand and it creates a toxic determination sand bomb that will literally knock a bitch out

dust will still wear papyrus's scarf even while underwater and then complain about how wet it is

killer will see a boat in the distance and bet that he can swim there with dust and horror. dust and horror end up losing a LOT of money once the boat comes back to shore with killer on board

horror doesn't eat his popsicles like a normal person. he waits for them to melt and then licks the melted juice and dust and killer shit on him SEVERELY for this

dust is such a heavy sleeper that horror and killer had enough time to build a sand grave for him and host a fake funeral service before he woke up. then they pretended he was actually dead when he woke up (it took all of horror's willpower not to laugh)

whenever one of those airplanes with posters attached fly over the beach dust always shoots a bunch of bones at the poster to poke holes in them

killer would build a giant dick and threaten kids to come over and look at his sculpture with his knife. then when the kid sees it killer orders them to tell their parents all about "the long schlong". he doesn't even kill the kids it's just to freak them and the parents out

dust doesn't help out while the set up the tents/chairs. horror has to do all the work and killer tries to help but then just ends up breaking something. but dust helps carry all the bags and chairs to and from the beach and car :3

killer brings horror as far out as he can in the water and then tells him to look underwater (connected to the first headcanon where horror has goggles) and then it turns out that killer took off his shorts and is flashing the fish. horror bursts out laughing underwater and almost drowns and then killer has to save him butt naked while trying to hold onto his shorts

when they finally wash off all the sand at the showers by the beach horror is the only one to really wash off the sand. dust doesn't wanna subject papyrus's scarf to anymore water (hc 8) and killer doesn't trust the shitty water pressure to get all the sand out of his joints

at the end of it they went to this nice seafood place and watched the beach while eating peacefully. and then on the ride home horror and killer slept like rocks (dust had to drive)

[flutterbruttershy]

yall cant go 5 minutes without sanding down laios's autistic freak nature huh

infantilizing ace headcanons, smoothing over his shitty social skills, ignoring how he pouts over most people being uncomfortable with what they feel counts as cannibalism, acting like his interest in monsters is purely pragmatic. what are you watching/reading with someone named laios whos like that and can you stop conflating it with the guy from dungeon meshi

[slasherbat]

Bunch of random Richie headcanon's because I love him, and been thinking about him since I watched NPMD.

(Also projecting a bit)

• Transgender and uses He/They pronouns, but doesn't mind Xe/Xem

• Panromantic and Demisexual

• Horror enthusiast, that man loves sci-fi horror films and slashers. Especially 80s ones, Aliens is his favorite film franchise.

• 100% a fan of metalcore also, his top artist would be Bring Me The Horizon (Drove Paul & Emma mad with how much he looped Kingslayer by BMTH & Babymetal)

• Also a fan of Ice Nine Kills (He will force Grace to listen to the Orchestrated version of Welcome To Horrorwood, and is delighted when she likes The Shower Scene)

• His music taste also includes, but isn't final to: The Killers (Emma got him into it) Ghost and Pals, Sidewalks and Skeletons. He has a very interesting music taste, it's kinda all over, but he likes what he likes.

• DOG PERSON, he wants one so bad, and would name it after one of his favorite characters from an Anime 100%

• He's got a really shitty Attack On Titan Stick and Poke on his leg

• Paul got him his first binder for his 16th birthday and he cried while he was telling him how to bind safely.

• He's been best friends with Ruth since 2nd grade, Pete since 7th.

• He cannot drive, or be trusted behind the wheel of any vehicle (especially Golf Carts)

• He also can't swim, and has an incredibly big fear of large bodies of water of any kind, and the beach is a huge sensory overload. He despises sand with every fiber in his soul.

• Cannot stand Coffee at all, even the smell makes him feel like he's suffocating. Absolutely suffering in the mornings while getting ready for school.

• He's got a scar on his right leg from when he crashed a Golf Cart. The first thing he said to Emma when she showed up was that they matched now.

• Richie has trouble sleeping at night, and falling asleep, so sometimes he'll just dye his hair during the all-nighters. If he's not trying to do that, he'll binge watch some of the shows on his watch list.

• Ruth will paint his nails a new color like every day during lunch or when they are hiding in gym class. It calms Ruth down when she's stressed, giving her something to focus on, and Richie likes having his nails painted since he's horrible at it himself.

[rodolfoparras]

Hi!! You might not remember me, but I’m the shy anon from a bit ago that you said had a pretty way of writing (which still makes me like 🥺 when I think about it). It was an ask about Price kind of wanting you to just collar him, touch him, have him. Anyway, I come with another thought!

As I was scrolling through your blog, I started to think about how it would be so delicious if those headcanons about a dog/wolf hybrid reader where switched to Price. Like, he’s not a lone wolf. He would be a pretty shitty leader and captain if he was, after all! Every inside Price, every instinct he has is driven by pack. It’s his pack first, his boys first. Whatever they need, he gives it to them. Because that’s what a good dog does doesn’t it? It protects and provides and maybe he’s a little rough around the edges, but all Price does is care.

And Price is gruff and professional. His bark and bite alike have landed people in the ground. He does not bare his neck nor offer his belly. That’s not how he works, not how his pack works. He needs his team’s respect and support (and there’s that niggling need for affection and attention that makes his tail tuck low when no one’s around).

But then there’s you, a new teammate. A fresh-faced rookie with excellent marks and little field experience. Your scores are fantastic, your reputation on of vicious determination. Price isn’t doubting you—everyone has to start somewhere, but you’re still new to this. To bloodshed and battlefields, to pain and misery and watching lives bleed out into the sand. But then he sees you in action for the first time, and everything just freezes for a moment.

Because, finally, Captain John Price has found someone’s worthy enough of his submission. His unwavering loyalty and dogged stubbornness a mirror of your own reflection. (And maybe it gets him just a little bit hot under the collar to see you bare your bloody teeth like that. In a challenge, like you want to protect him with bruised knuckles and a split lip.)

Hello sugar of course I rmr you and the statements still rings True you write beautifully sugar and you should def share your writing!!

And I absolutely love this!!!! I have like this image of price inching closer to old ages and god he feels lost bc without his squad he has no purpose in life besides he hasn’t even met someone and all of a sudden you arrive and he’s torn between going after you- pursuing you or just leaving you alone because he’s an old man after all no? But it doesn’t take much for him to give in literally submitting by letting you order him around on the battlefield- leaving everyone wide eyed and gasping, or practically letting you kick his ass during sparring session just bc he wants to feel your body on top of his or how he looks at you with so much love and adoration when you’re simply just existing and before he knows of it he’s found another purpose in life- to love and protect you for as long as he can

Headcanons on what the Spriggan 12 smell like (something absolutely no one asked for):

Irene smells like old books. That smell when you enter a library? Opening a book you haven’t touched for a long time? For some reason she smells like it. It gives some people an unexplained feeling that they’re about to get a paper cut.

Invel just smells cold. It’s like how ice cream doesn’t smell like much. It’s really unnerving.

Wall obviously smells like metal, but he also smells like oil and smoke. Standing next to him is like standing outside in the heat at a gas station. He’s already hard to be around because he’s so boisterous, but it makes him even more likely to be avoided. I don’t think he’s ever cleaned himself. A bath wouldn’t do much for him, so he just kind of reeks.

Jacob smells like unscented things because that’s all he uses. Unscented deodorant, body wash, shampoo, laundry detergent… it makes him smell pretty clean, but it’s hardly noticeable.

Ajeel smells like a really shitty beach day, like the bottoms of your feet getting burnt on the sand. Warm, but not pleasant.

Bloodman smells like rotting, but the smell isn’t really coming from him, it’s more the scent of his curses. When he’s in a corporeal form, he smells like wet fertilized earth, like dirt after a heavy rainstorm, but as soon as his body releases bane particles, he smells like death itself.

You know that weird lotion-y smell that a lot of old people have? That’s what August smells like. It’s kind of sticky, but not in a particularly unpleasant way. He also gives me the vibes that he uses one of those generic name brand man scents of cologne or deodorant.

Brandish smells like tea and spices. She doesn’t drink tea very often, she’s more of a fan of sweets, but for some reason the smell sticks to her.

Larcade smells like the outdoors, like that fresh cut grass smell that everyone enjoys, or dry leaves.

Neinhart is probably the only person here to actually care about how they smell. He uses lavender perfume, and it makes them smell really nice. Her efforts aren’t really appreciated, though. If only the other Spriggan actually cared about that kind of thing.

Serena smells ridiculously sweet, like a candy store. Think those big oversized rainbow lollipops. He will not explain how he made this happen.

Because of the god inside of her, Dimaria smells really strange and otherworldly. People have compared it to freshly poured concrete or tumbled rocks, but there’s something weirdly off about it. She just kind of smells wrong.

For the ask game: Micah: 7, 21

Arthur: 8, 12

Dutch: 4, 25

Yea!!! Thanks for asking!

Micah

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

Body appreciation. Micah is like unconventionally attractive.

I also like how despite the fandom thinking Micah-likers are all racist and nasty everyone I've talked to on tumblr has reached a similar conclusions for how they enjoy him:

He's hot

He's so evil and bad that the justice that comes for him is the hottest part of dealing with his shitty personality. There's nothing hotter than justice

He's so fun to watch going insane-o

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I love humiliating him: making him lose battles, get hurt, ask for help when he doesn't want it- Humiliation that is well deserved. He is very proud so for him to be humiliated is crushing! There's nothing hotter than justice

I don't like navigating his emotions. He is so very keen on keeping a strong front that it feels out of character to write him emoting to others.... He's sooooo lame for that

Arthur

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

I don't like how the fandom uwu baby done no wrong-ifies him. My man has killed so many people. That is no to say his redemption doesn't hold any water, but I feel like people sand down his meaner qualities and perceive him in a way I find less interesting/appealing/canon compliant

I also don't like how set in stone the fandom is about their own personal HCS- that is to say I don't like how others agree on a certain HC and treat it as canon. This is more of a complaint about fandoms in general, but since Arthur's story starts with the downfall of the VDL gang there is a lot that is not revealed to the audience. There's many ways to interpret/extract THE ESSENCE from him.

It's more of a complaint for those who like or see X character and don't realize one's view and enjoyment of the character is different than theirs. Said person will judge the other and not understand the multitudes of ways one can interact with the character/media/whatever. It loops back to Micah lolol

This point sort of contradicts my first point lol-- (NO I don't like this interpretation vs. no you all should be more loose and not judge other's interpretations)

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I think he did some really unspeakable things in his past. Arthur's more... I wouldn't say chill, maybe his more realistic view of the world comes from fucking up, seeing fucked up things, getting fucked, doing fucked up things.... Arthur probably tortured several people, maybe watched over people as they starved, bled out- fun things

Another HC is that Arthur was a sexist, snotty little boy + young adult and then through living life he developed empathy later on. It's just a thing I see in men sometimes. I think Arthur thinks about those bad things he did. Sometimes there's guilt and sometimes there's nothing, like when he talks about killing animals for no reason.

I also think Arthur's love of animals is not universal- It's more of an observation, but like a lot of people: if the animal isn't aesthetic or useful there is no emphathy. -Like wolves, cougars, fleas, ticks, parasites- he wouldn't feel bad about killing them for no reason. Charle's bison mission probably sunk in his mind, to care for the bison, but it would take convincing for him to have empathy about killing a wolf or to consider what it means to have a healthy population of parasites in an ecosystem.

What I am saying is Arthur would be one of those people who say we should intact mosquito and wasp extinction (we should not.)

Arthur finally sees the gaps in the extent of his empathy when he's dying from TB

Dutch

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

I would LOVE to see Dutch in my little pony, all the rdr2 characters in fact. ALL OF THEM. Can you imagine the drama???

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

I learned about RDR2's story through fanfiction at first so... "Omg Arthur's dad..?!" and now that I'm playing the game.... "UGH SHUT UP DUTCH. I KNOW YOUR SINS." I am more.... neutral to him; he's okay...

I am stuck in chapter 4 and I can't help but roll my eyes at everything he says,,, 😅

[waywardsalt]

bellum is such an interesting villain and while there are little things you can pick up abt him there’s barely anything extra about him and thats one hell of a double-edged sword lol. its basically up to us to piece everything together and decide bellum’s role in general but also nintendo really dumped this squid out on our doorsteps with no extra info asides from what exposition oshus gives (and the fact that oshus is the sole source of information on bellum is something i am absolutely taking advantage of when figuring out bellum’s past and origins n shit)

and yeah, i havent played in a hot minute but bellum does come off as very clumsy in game, ive always read it as putting more stock into just brute force rather than finesse (i’m not going to call it a brawns over brains kinda thing bc i mean. bellum is constantly a step ahead with having oshus and the spirits trapped at the start, essentially faking his death, utilizing the ghost ship the way he does, and everything he pulls off in relation to the final boss basically being a setup for cornering link and everyone else involved in trying to kill him. i think bellum is less of a sort of mindless monster kind of villain, and has a lot more going on beneath the surface so that’s fun to play with and think about)

and that brutal clumsiness does show up in bellumbeck like you said, almost none of his attacks are precise, he’s just trying to turn link into a green-and-red smear on the ground. but then there’s also the stuff with bellumbeck also having some more complicated (for lack of a better word/phrase) movements and quick reaction times, which provides interesting suggestions about bellum and linebeck (less so the latter since its hard to know for certain what any of that actually has to do with him asides from being the one made to do it)

generally looking at what bellum does and how he moves and what he seems capable of provides a lot of interesting ideas and concepts and its a bit more complicated than you would assume of a villain with. no fucking supplemental info given

does anyone want to talk about phantom hourglass. or linebeck stuff. id gladly talk with someone about ph. or other stuff

Round 1: Match 28

"Two Sides of the Same Coin"- Two things that are regarded as part of the same thing. Even if they're very different, they have at least one common thread that helps them fit into this trope.

Propaganda (under the cut):

Chuuya Nakahara and Osamu Dazai:

"They have literally been referred to by their creator as one soul in two bodies"

Hershel Layton and Jean Descole:

"Layton is the protagonist and Descole is his antagonist for the whole prequel trilogy, with a hero/villain dynamic. Both of them have interests in archaeology and puzzles, they both know fencing, they are both excellent at unraveling a person and what makes them tick. Their confrontations are quite interesting because of this and also pretty funny at times because Descole is a cartoonish villain

MAJOR SPOILERS for this next bit idk how you handle this in propaganda but people still tag these after 10 years

In the third game of the prequel trilogy (Azran Legacy) Descole actually disguises himself by unmasking and cooperates with Layton and pals under his real name and appearance, Desmond Sycamore. The similarities between Desmond and Layton are also very obvious and they work together very well (also turns out they are both archaeology professors). Desmond eventually reveals himself as Descole and you might feel really stupid if you didn't figure it out before the "reveal."

Des then eventually reveals himself as Layton's long-lost older brother with the same shitty father who's the main villain of the game. He goes through a sort-of redemption where he shows that he has grown to care about people more than he seemed to in the previous games where he was a villain. Then he fakes his death and they never canonically see each other again (although people often headcanon that they eventually reconcile and Des shows up to bother Layton sometimes with antics).

Also in Miracle Mask there's a pretty heavy-handed metaphor for how Layton and Des are "two sides of the same coin." There's this artifact called the Mask of Chaos which is rumored to have a counterpart called the Mask of Order. Layton figures out that they are both part of the same mask, and he and Descole (in disguise) put the two halves into this machine and solve the city from being drowned in sand (that part's not important). Anyway the metaphor is that Layton represents order and Des represents chaos and they're both two halves of a whole.

Also they both have tragic backstories where they have loved ones who died violently and they never properly coped with it. The fact that they lost each other as brothers when they were children and then lost each other again so soon after reuniting just adds another layer to this.

There's probably more tbh. Also be prepared for the layton fans on tumblr to unionize to vote for layton. We are small but mighty."

Wwdits beach/pool headcanons:

You know the broken glass at the beach you have no clue got there but you almost step on or you do step on? Blame colin robinson

He leaves small pieces of glass and whenever someone almost or does step on it his eyes glow

Colin also BLASTS shitty music over a speaker (a lot of country)

Young colin and nandor like to bury guillermo in sand (with his permission)

The vampires don't mind sand but guillermo HATES cleaning it off their clothes

I can see nandor boogie boarding

Despite the fact they can't drown whenever they're at a beach or a pool guillermo becomes their lifeguard

Without fail Colin gets his shit fucked by the ocean

Laszlo and nadja have matching swim suits of course

Laz and nadja are more of a chill at the beach then swim (tho they do love a lazy river)

Whenever guillermo is in the shallow part of the ocean to avoid getting water in his face/getting knocked over by waves he kinda stands like he's fighting the ocean

Guillermo tires to not swim at the same time as nandor after nandor grabbed him while falling due to a large wave knocking him over

Guillermo has 100% attempted do this

And failed miserably (tho he did slay for 5 second before getting his shit fucked)

And finally guillermo wears a swim shirts to the dismay of nandor
