Ship ask game! random letters: A H I S Y

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

okay so i've been rewatching dawson's creek so pacey/joey is Big in my heart right now. i love them so much?? there's something about their relationship and love that just Hits!!! and then i've also been going through and organizing my writing and i read over some of my saphael stuff and just,,, i miss them,... oh! and with doctor who coming back donna and the doctor are the msot wonderful friendship i love them so much

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

probably TV? i do love reading but it's a bit harder now? and i tend to read a lot more nonfiction than i used to so yeah.

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

probably? but nothing is coming to mind right now. but i've been here so long that... gotta be? haha

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

okay so this is maybe slightly canon and just more expanding but there's an episode of strange new worlds where spock gets turned human and he's really struggling with it but also really enjoying it as well? and he's tried so so hard in the past to Not be human, to the point of literally having nightmares about it. but then he actually becomes human and, yeah, it's all the bad things he thought, those emotions too foreign and painful and unsure of what to do with them. but it's also freeing in a way he hadn't expected. so when he's turned back into a vulcan, he's not as afraid to be a little more human than he was. he actually allows himself (and takes the time) to think about how he's feeling and what that means. and he's not as emotional, obviously, but he still feels it and he sees the power that the emotions can have and it's. nice.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

for awhile that was a lot of dctv shows and then i finally broke down and watched them. this is probably the case with a lot of stuff that i watch. i don't know if there's much i could really pin point to right now since i haven't been back here for long enough.

send me questions

In the name of my BLAM ‘22 renassiance, if you have any prompts you want to shoot my way, feel free to head over to my main account and hit me up. I’m filling old prompts today so it just feels right, y’know?

[shadowhunterspolycule]

polycule wanting to plan something special for raphael. everyone gets roped into it. magnus is added to a group chat even more chaotic than the immortal squad group chat, and loves it. he loves seeing how much his boy is loved by this group of people and knowing raph is so cared for, after all he's been through and all he does for others -maiaisbia

u know me, always happy to have ppl appreciate rapha

my first thought tho is kinda angsty which is the idea that maybe they want to do something for him on the anniversary of rosa's death. they all know it hits him hard and that he always keeps track of it, because, well. he likes to torture himself

anyway the polycule knows that he will spend the whole day sulking to repent for his sins or whatever SO they decide to make him a little something. they know it's a day for mourning and they want to respect that but they want to help him do that a little more healthily at least, so over the year they gather as much information on her as they can (not difficult. just bring up something vaguely related to old women or little girls and rapha is At It with the stories of his lil sis, eyes far away and fond smile in place) and prepare a memorial for her, y'know? and they make all of her favorite foods that she and rapha used to share or that rapha would make for her, and play her favorite songs and gather pictures which they get magnus to spell so they won't fade

and rapha is shocked in several ways because he didn't expect any of this, and when they said they had something for him he thought they'd try to get him to do something unrelated which he just- can't because he can't forget her. but instead they made something to celebrate her, not in the sad despairing way that rapha usually does, but in a happy way, and where he gets to be with all his friends and partners and just be comforted and talk about her All Day. and it feels really good, for the first time since he started keeping track of the anniversary

and magnus of course is just beyond elated that there are so many people looking out for his son, wanting to make sure his mourning is respected but that his day also isn't miserable. and he's more than happy to help and be there for him on the day, too 🥺

Simon: I guess that's your knew best friend now, Santiago.

Simon: Emphasis on 'Iago', backstabber.

[shadowhunterspolycule]

the first major snowfall in ages finally hit nyc recently and all im imaging is the Polycule attaching snowboards and the such to the back of simons van and them just being happy with snow day activities

oof, this ask is from so many months ago, i'm so sorry. i was very busy. i'm also not sure how great my answer will be because i'm a whole ass brazilian so i have no idea what snow day activies are, but i will try anyway

so, major advantages: meliorn has magic and maia is a werewolf and if i'm not mistaken it's said or implied that werewolves have a higher core body temperature than humans. or maybe i made that up, but it's canon for me

major disadvantages: raphael and simon are vampires, which means that technically they are kind of "cold-blooded" creatures? i mean they would still have other important temperature regulating mechanisms such as mitochrondrial heat production and muscle contraction, but they basically don't have a heartbeat/blood flow/arguably blood at all, which is a major way of regulating core temperature, and canonically their skin feels pretty cold, so like. they probably are more suscetible to temperature changes is what i'm saying (i'm mostly going off this source [link] for this. i'm already overthinking this answer good job me)

plus i am once again saying that raphael is from guadalajara which means that like me he is used to Worm Temperchoores, like, WAY warmer than NYC's, and he grew up without pretty much any kind of snow at all. and sure he's lived in NYC for years so he's SOMEWHAT used to the cold but he still spent his formative years in guadalajara, so like. he fucking hates the cold, is my point

but back to major advantages: meliorn and magic! which means they can do something about it. don't ask me what, but i'm sure they can do Something. i mean i'm sure to some extent the downworld has already figured out a solution to this problem cuz while it might not kill them (since they're immortal) it is very uncomfortable and probably makes them slower, which is a disadvantage to say the least. plus raphael has magnus who knows that raphael is a grumpy ass in the cold. also i think java is similarly hot so magnus Gets It, but idk what the temperatures usually are in jakarta

anyway my point is that magnus probably got some coats/vests/blankets spelled for his boy so they can keep him toasty (since they are otherwise kinda useless for vampires since they rely on trapping body heat and vampires don't have any) and vampires in general probably have access to that kinda stuff, but still, rapha gets grumpy and his face is still cold and everything is just awful and he doesn't understand how gringos do it. his complaints fly for about 2 days before the New Yorker Squad™ (particularly simon and maia, who drag clary and inevitably everyone else is there) decides that they've had enough of this and that raphael will learn how to enjoy the snow

he is like "i am not willingly going into the snow! you don't understand, i'm a vampire, i won't get back my body heat the way you do". simon: "i literally am also a vampire". raphael: "you're just a fledgeling, you wouldn't understand" "i've been a vampire for like, ten years!" "seven" "same thing" "it's so not the-" "i have gone through enough winters to be able to understand, and you, sir, are going to learn to enjoy the snow. have you EVER even made a snow angel?" "no" "well this changes today"

he literally has no excuse because meliorn has this super sweet spell that keeps him from losing heat so like. he doesn't even need a coat (he's still wearing it and preferably also a scarf and gloves because he is, first and foremost, dramatic) so he is forced to have a day off and go play in the snow, woe is him

(he tells the clan that should they need anything they should ring him, but they're like "nah simon has promised us pictures of you in the snow, we can handle ourselves" and it's not like raphael is too busy these days, really)

anyway! they have fun. simon strikes me as the winter lover kind of person altho really i think he enjoys all seasons in their own way, but like... hot chocolate and scarves and snow fights, yes? and while i think maia might prefer warmer temperatures she can double enjoy herself in the snow now that she's a werewolf because she gets less cold and like, damn, tell me that being a wolf and jumping headfirst into a pile of snow wouldn't be fun. you can't, unless you're a bad taste bitch

i also think maia is the building snow forts kind of gal because, idk, she just looks that way. and sure she's excited about kicking everyone's asses during snowball fight but FIRST she needs to have a full fort complete with towers and windows for her to throw snowballs from and shit

rapha is the one that helps her build it the most cuz he likes the motions and besides it is a little less energetic than whatever it is that the rest of these wackos are doing. again izzy didn't get any chances to play in the snow either so naturally clary is dragging her around from snow activity to snow activity and running around everywhere and holy shit they have so much energy. simon is there as well naturally and eventually they make it their goal in life to ruin maia's and rapha's fort, which ends up kickstarting the mandatory snowball fight. even tho maia only has a half complete fort

(eventually when everyone has left maia and rapha will come back and finish the fort. it's the principle of the thing. raphael also wants to build an igloo or some shit and maia rolls her eyes but actually i can see him being into building snow things? it's just soothing and nice and quiet and he can pretend there's Elegance and Finesse to it)

and meliorn is just watching them curiously the whole time because of course they know snow but they dont really know about Snow Activities these funky little non-seelies dedicate themselves too. i feel like the seelies have their own snow activities, maybe like, festivals? dances with the snowfall and games to welcome the change in the environment, that sort of thing. but they are nothing like snow angels ("it doesn't look like an angel in the slightest, just like you kept moving your legs and arms in the snow" "thats what it is" "right, so...?") or snowmen ("also doesn't look like a man" "meliorn we aren't exactly artists") or snow fights (altho that one they can appreciate) and they're really interested in like participating even though they dont understand and everyone has to keep telling them that it's Not That Deep and izzy is so amused she just kisses them one billion times

eventually they start doing it just to get more of those laugh-filled kisses of hers

also at least one of them, probably izzy of rapha or meliorn since they are the snow ignorant ones of the group, is absolutely horrible at making snowmen. probably izzy tbh because shadowhunters dont exactly have a knack for these things. like clary's snowman is all artistic and simon's is fun and creative, maia's is pretty, raphael's and meliorn's look like the Platonic Ideal Of A Snowman, and izzy's looks like A Pile Of Dirt. clary giggles at it for an embarrassing amount of time, which inevitably leads to izzy taking the snow from her snowman to throw snowballs at clary and triggering a new snowfight

and then they have some soup inside and cuddle under a blanket as they fight over what they should watch and all is well with the world

[schreibfederlaerm]

And they were roommates 1/?

„Really, Magnus, you don’t have to do this. I can survive on my own.”

“It’s fine. I love being your companion for your first day on college and you know it,” Magnus said, handing Raphael more flyers without looking back to see if Raphael actually took them before letting go. “They grow up so fast.”

Raphael rolled his eyes. “Still not your son.”

Magnus waved his hand dismissively before continuing. “Also, I want to make sure you don’t end up with the wrong people.”

“So, anyone outside of your fraternity?”

“I have exquisite taste, Raphael. You should be grateful that I already took the three-year-long process of handpicking the most interesting personalities on myself.”

The younger man wisely decided not to comment on that and focused on the stack of paper in his hands instead. There were maps for every separate building, one sketch of the whole campus, menus of several take-outs and a couple of more or less desperate attempts to convince the freshmen to join their clubs. Raphael silently wondered if it had been a bad idea to let Magnus take over his college orientation when he realized what the bright pink flyer was advertising for.

“I really don’t think I’ll need to know when the ballet group practices, Magnus. Are you just handing me things randomly?”

“Nonsense. It’s vitally important for you to know their morning lesson plan by heart.” They had passed about half of the booths that were huddled on the square and Magnus hadn’t once stopped his vigorous pace for more than a few seconds. But Raphael was way too focused on not losing sight of his red highlights to question their destination.

“How so?”

“Well,” Magnus said, sidestepping a couple, “that’s when the gross doorman is distracted by them stretching on the lawn right in front of your dorm. And when you come back from one of the frat parties or your newest beau, you don’t want someone who asks a lot of questions, do you?”

Raphael stopped moving, forcing Magnus to finally disrupt his speed walking. “When? You know I’m not here to party, Magnus. That’s not—”

“—what that scholarship is for, the college has given you so much already, including your own room, you must not betray their trust by, god forbid, having fun,” Magnus finished his sentence. He laid a hand on the other one’s shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. “I know. This is a great opportunity and I’m very proud of you for making it this far. But having fun won’t take away any of the things you accomplished. I promise, thambi.”

For a long moment, Raphael stared at his friend. Then he swallowed, brushed off his hand and said: “Hey, isn’t that the fraternity you hate so much?”

There was a split-second when Magnus didn’t seem to fall for it and his eyes were filled with worry. But one blink later, there was his dramatic self again, making a disgusted face. “Phi Delta Alpha.”

As far as Raphael understood, Phi Delta Alpha – which stood for their motto, facilis descensus averni, the descent to hell is easy – was something like the nemesis fraternity for the one Magnus belonged to – Ny Theta Delta, which stood for nolite timere discere, don’t be afraid to learn, or, if anyone but someone of authority asked, not the dicks. During their weekly calls, Magnus had painted a vivid picture of the two fraternities. His was a beacon of acceptance, diversity, eternal friendship and glitter. Theirs was the bland, boring and blatantly close-minded example of the average frat.

Magnus arrived at the booth only seconds later and Raphael wondered whether that had been his goal the whole time. Knowing Magnus, he hurried to catch up with his friend, before the booth conveniently caught fire or something. He was just in time to hear Magnus try to convince some guy of this frat’s natural awfulness.

“…seen their logo? Normally, it would be beneath me to point that out, but the letters clearly form a phallic shape. And not a pretty one, I might add.”

The guy – tall, black hair, dark eyes, exactly Magnus’ type – looked down at his spiky hair and seemed to get more flustered with every passing second.

“Actually,” another guy who had appeared behind the booth’s table said with a condescending smile, “Alec has already made his decision. The ugly dick frat it is.”

Alec shrugged in reaction to Magnus’ raised eyebrow, blushing slightly. “Jace is my brother. Literally,” he added quickly, before correcting himself again. “Well, not literally, we aren’t related, actually.”

“That’s obvious, darling,” Magnus said.

Raphael was about to remind him that they had things to do when two girls walked over from the neighbor booth. Did this uncomfortable conversation group really need to grow? The redhead let herself be pulled into Jace’s arms while the other girl – who had a striking resemblance with Alec, except she was maybe even prettier – sized Magnus up.

“Everything okay here?”

“There’s nothing to worry about, bisquit,” Magnus answered with a smile. Raphael took a closer look at the redhead he now guessed to be Clary – hers and Magnus’ mother had been roommates in college and Magnus loved to complain about Clary’s terrible taste in men. “I take it that you still haven’t come to your senses about that dissolute blond rapscallion?”

Funnily enough, Jace looked only mildly amused by that description and Clary even smiled back at Magnus. “Sadly, I’m still quite fond on him. And who have you got there?”

Immediately, the attention turned to Raphael, who slipped his hands in his dark jeans. “It’s Raphael,” he said and shot everyone a quick glance. “I go here now, too.”

As soon as the words had left his mouth, he realized how weird they must have sounded. He didn’t look as young as he was, he reminded himself, there was no reason for them to question his right to be here. But nobody seemed to care about that, anyway.

“Freshman, huh? Me too. Maybe we’ll have some courses together!” The black-haired girl who just had to be an actual sibling of Alec shot him a grin. “I’m Izzy. And don’t listen to Magnus, PDA isn’t that bad.” When Jace made a face, she added: “I mean, Phi Delta Alpha isn’t that bad. Go on, tell’em about that tolerance thing.”

She elbowed Jace encouragingly.

Jace nodded as Clary squeezed his hand. “Yeah, we’re going for a new way of handling things. You know, now that I’m one of the older brothers they actually listen to me, so we… well, will be more open. Won’t repeat last year, you know?”

Magnus huffed. “What a lovely idea.”

Last year, Phi Delta Alpha had gotten their hands on the phone numbers of several Ny Theta Delta members, leading to an awful “joke” involving gay porn sites which had the Dean almost expel half of the latter frat. The truth came out eventually and the frat boys of Delpha (as it was often shortened) were advised to refrain from such behavior in the future. The Ny, who were known to present a safe space for many minorities on campus, were not given a proper apology. And Magnus was not one to forgive and forget.

“I have one word for you and your brothers: Pathetic,” he said to Jace. Then he turned to face Alec again. “As for you: Apodyopsis. I really hope you reconsider your decision. Call me if you do. Some friend of your brother here should still have my number from that hilarious prank last year. Let’s go, Raphael.”

Raphael didn’t get the time to watch their faces – or ask for the meaning of Apodyopsis. As he turned around, some white blur rushed into him, pouring something cold all over Raphael’s black shirt.

The white blur turned out to be a young man with brown eyes wearing a white shirt – well, what used to be a white shirt and was now dripping with coffee. Raphael’s shirt was in the same state. At least it had been iced coffee; Raphael wasn’t sure if he could have controlled his temper otherwise.

As it was, he interrupted the other one – who was sputtering one apology after another – with a low growl. “Idiota.”

The boy stopped mid-word and stared at him with helpless puppy eyes. Raphael chose to henceforth ignore this annoyance and turned to Magnus. “Where can I change?”

His friend had watched the scene in surprise but composed himself quickly. “Of course, dear, I’ll show you your room.”

They left without another glance at the abashed figure still holding about four cups with varying amounts of coffee between his hands.
