#she has no canon race

[madeofjules]

Thg non-canon things that are claimed as canon?

Oh man this will probably start some fights lol, but just to be clear I'm not saying that all of these can't be true or people are wrong for believing they are. It's more just that we don't know for sure because they're never confirmed in the source text and therefore (IMO) cannot be labeled as canon. Here are some common ones off the top of my head:

Finnick was the youngest victor ever

Rue's death sparked the rebellion

Everything Katniss did was for Prim (it all started with her protecting Prim, yes, but Prim stopped being her sole motivation after she stepped into the arena)

The Quell was rigged for Finnick to win

Peeta refused to kill (he literally said he would so idk where people got this from)

Katniss was indigenous or Katniss was white (these are the two most common ones I see people claim as canon, but her race was never stated)

Peeta's family didn't care about him or he didn't care about them

Katniss always assumed she'd marry Gale (she said that other people probably assumed it, not that she did)

Career academies

Foxface killed herself

Katniss was the first ever volunteer in district 12

Annie wasn't a Career (there isn't a single reason to believe this)

Peeta was still hijacked after the war

Katniss never experienced desire or wanted to kiss anyone (saw a fan art about this and I was just like, did we read the same books?)

Peeta wasn't a good tribute (boggles my mind that this is a popular take)

Katniss's mom didn't love her, didn't try to reach out to her after the war, and all the other stuff people make up about her to demonize her further

Disclaimer: canon can be murky when there are both books and films. The THG movies repeatedly contradict the books and some characters are completely different than their book counterparts, so it's really not possible for both canons to exist simultaneously in one universe. That's why I view the source material as the ultimate determinant of canon.

Of course, there are some movie-only details that could be true in the books as well, like Finnick being the youngest victor. My issue is more with people claiming that movie details refuted in the books are canon, or combining movie-only canon with book-only canon, or simply picking and choosing what is and isn't canon based on their preferences. I see people do this disingenuously to push certain narratives, like "the weird thing my favorite character did in the movie isn't canon but the bad thing my least favorite character did is".

All of that brings so much inconsistency and bias into the story that it starts to lose meaning and purpose, so I think it makes the most sense to only consider the books "true" canon when viewing the story as a whole.

None of this is to say people can't have headcanons or things they prefer over book canon or anything like that. The fun part of fandom is being able to engage with the material in a way that means something to you personally. So please don't take anything I'm saying as an attack on your opinions because that's not my intention.

RTTE didn’t give us enough of the three siblings: Dagur, Heather, and Hiccup. Like MAN we had just ONE episode of the three of them together and then nothing 😭 I needed more Heather x Hiccup scenes bc their sibling relationship is everything.

Thinking 100 years post canon about widowed mithrun (from kabumisu) and marcille (farcille) meeting every other day or so just to check on each other (they understand each others grief too much)

Regardless of ships, i think mithrun and marcille can be good friends, once they pass their initial hiccup of attacking each other at the dungeon. That might take some time, since marcille is scared of mithrun and mithrun working on his desires, but the thing about them is that they all have the time in the world.

“I think she likes you!”

Cruise has always been a fan of animals, being raised having five giant terrifying monsters as pets (and one not-so-giant cat)! On her days off from racing, she likes to spend time at Hot Wheels City’s animal shelter, helping to care for the animals there- a much tamer duty in comparison to her estranged Father’s beasts. When one of the newest additions to the shelter is a litter of kittens, she drags Coop along to meet them.

ugh, I just came across my unfinished intro for Divinity WIP (an idea I had and then shortly abandoned back in January) in my drafts, and man, I was cooking so hard with that WIP concept. I'd love to get back to it someday. Sadly I can't even share the intro, because there's too many unfilled blanks. (Character names, mainly. Literally no one has a name. Also I have no idea what the fuck the plot is for this story. It's vibes only around here.)

But like, look at this shit!!

Can you become a god and retain your humanity?

(about the protagonist, a trans woman who receives divine power)

Is there any future for a mortal who loves a god?

(about her best friend/qpr partner (nb), her ever-loyal guard dog)

Themes & Tropes: platonic love | best friends who would do anything for each other | devotion as a form of love/worship | immortality as a form of death | transformation | "don't go where i can't follow" | divinity vs humanity | loyalty as a fatal flaw | self-sacrifice as self-destruction

(thanks again to @daisywords for the phrase ''immortality as a form of death'' which will be burned into my brain for the rest of my life.)

Seriously, this wip idea is so fucking cool, and I can't wait to get back to it someday.

"oh it is SUCH A SHAME, Loki, that only ONE of you can ascend to the throne of Asgard. HOW UNFAIR. by the way, have you ever GIVEN ANY THOUGHT to what would happen if your brother were to DIE IN AN ACCIDENT? you know... i bet a CLEVER AND AMBITIOUS YOUNG LAD like yourself has all sort of IDEAS about how Thor might be hurried off to Valhalla, eh? i expect you could even - HYPOTHETICALLY OF COURSE - arrange for something to happen to him that nobody could possibly blame you for. have you any... Loki, are you listening to me? Loki, you little shit, pay attention this AN IMPORTANT LIFE LESSON i am trying to impart here."

Who is your ideal Nettles fancast? Just curious because I’ve seen you use a couple of different people.

Lol, ideally my top pick would be Sophie Wilde:

She just has such a sweet face and fits Nettles canon description perfectly. Lol it’s a pipe dream though considering she has several projects in the works and I doubt she’s even on the HOTD teams radar. Though ironically she’s playing opposite of the guy who played Ser Laenor’s first lover in her new miniseries(Tom Jones).

Next up would be these two ladies:

Simona Brown

and Karla Simone Spence:

Both are British, have the right look IMO, and are fantastic actresses. Crystal Clark would be another great actresss for Nettles. She’s actually who I originally envisioned for her:

I think she’s free right now considering the show(Sanditon) she was on just ended.

Really, honestly at this point I will not complain who they cast as Nettles as long as the actress is Black/Blackish and brown-skinned. This is my only requirement for Nettles. I’ll be honest and say Nettles has the literal worst fancasts(not surprising since half want to act like she doesn’t exist or if she does they don’t want to her being Black).

Most of the actresses in said fancasts aren’t darker than a paper bag and some are non-Black/Blackish women which I find completely vile when people insist that she isn’t Black/Blackish when a. how Nettles is described is how you would describe someone Black and b. she looks like this in the lore and the official art:

The behavior of this fandom when it comes to Nettles period has been downright deplorable. I’ve already stated this, but I’ll state it a dozen times, I will straight up not watch this show if HBO looks over a host of Black/Blackish actresses to race bend the only in canon Black/Blackish character and more importantly the only in canon Black/Blackish woman.

I’ll keep it cute and leave it there🤷🏽‍♀️ Bottom line, I have my preferences, but I will literally cheer on any actress who they cast to play Nettles as long as she is visibly Black/Blackish.

tags from @yuri-puppies: #this is such a good addition prev!!!!#i hadn't noticed how kabru's laios infodump serves to get the readers to... basically take laios seriously#and to understand why he could be perceived as a threat#although we already know he's the protagonist so i'd say the trick is more in getting us to believe#that dunmeshi is the kind of fantasy story that has a destined hero of prophesy and make us forget that it's a genre deconstruction#i love love love the idea that kabru is almost aware that he's in a story#both as a ptsd survivor's guilt coping mechanism (“if not for this what was the point of me surviving”)#and because he LITERALLY is#(i'm always thinking of those xmas exchange extras kui did where everyone's talking about their gift#but kabru is freaking out about exactly what kind of au is this)#and it's not that he's wrong genre savvy - he's remarkably correct in his assessments relative to the amount of knowledge he has#it's just that laios is such a genre-busting powerhouse#*strayitaliangreyhound.mp3 playing in the distance*#(sorry the labru brainworms took over for a second. back to our regularly scheduled content.)#“and it's not Kabru's schemes and stories that allow him to help Laios” <- this so much#his attempt to strategize evacuating the dungeon fails but his impulse move to save a life succeeds#his attempts to narrativize mithrun's backstory are completely unfruitful from a plot perspective#and even though he ingratiates himself with the canaries and tries to guide laios through deceiving them he prevents no plot events#until it all unravels and he's forced to honesty (ch. 76 my beloved)#and even in the denouement he's still fretting; trying to rationalize and narrativize wtf just happened#hngggghgkdlgd i love him so much#dunmeshi#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi manga spoilers

We really get to see Kabru exercise his social awareness and his story-crafting skills this episode, like how he tailors his backstory differently to Toshiro and Namari (and the Floke twins out of frame!) - framing the massacre of his people as a result of elven interventionism and focusing on his personal tragedy; contrasting his hardworking mother to the faceless, dispassionate elven forces

vs how he talks about Utaya with the elves, first by making them take him seriously pay proper attention to him, indirectly invoking Milsiril's social capital to create a nepo-baby persona* that paints Kabru as not-like-the-other-tallmen, why he's practically a Canary

*i said persona. if you call him a nepo baby in my notes i will send a squad of trained skunks to your house to eat your plants and spray your kitchen counters and also block you

(baffles me. BAFFLES ME that there are readers who fell for it. at least the Japanese VA did a great job of making it sound just fake enough for the audience to clock it as a successful deception check, so it should be clearer now)

Only then he appeals to their emotion, framing Utaya as being about the elves' misplaced best efforts and the losses they suffered, framing the death of imperial soldiers as equal to the brutal massacre of a large city's worth of people. That emotional appeal and successful positioning of himself as aligned with the Canaries is what allows him to ultimately propose his plan to evacuate the dungeon.

+ extra: canon-type family relations: jin itadori & sukuna are brothers, itadori is a child here ( 8 years ).

boyfriend-girlfriend life with sukuna except he thinks he's being replaced — in all seriousness. sukuna's seconds away from destroying his nephew's remote-controlled cars collection.

can the kid move? he wants yuuji gone. he's not jealous of him, he just wants your undivided attention back on him. if he knew beforehand that agreeing to jin's invitation over would result in this, he'd probably fly out of the country with you to avoid it.

manspreading on the sofa with one hand slung over the backrest, he swirls the beer in his other hand. his brother's in the kitchen, stacking the extra beers in the fridge.

“you can help me, you know?” jin calls sukuna out, lacing his voice with slight annoyance.

“nah,” sukuna responds, waving him off.

he's busy watching you sit on the floor with yuuji, pretending to race against time with him.

it's not all that bad when he thinks about it — never mind, it is. the kid's had you on the floor since you walked through the door. not a moment spared for his uncle. all yuuji did was look up at sukuna, stick his tongue out, and engulfed your legs in a big hug.

ever since then he's been sulking in the corner. jin can only pity him for so long — it's been an hour, he needs to get over it.

jin sneaks up behind sukuna, gathering his fingers to surprise attack him. in only a matter of seconds he's subjected to the ear-pinch-and-ring combination.

sukuna flinches, immediately swatting jin's hand off.

“you must've gone fucking crazy!?”

he gets yet another ear-pinch-and-ring combination from jin.

“i have a son, don't curse.”

“fuck that boy,” he whispers under his breath, cupping his ear. it's hot from the pain — most likely already gained a red shade.

even after such commotion both yuuji's and your attention didn't turn to them. you both are far too immersed in the racing game.

the brothers are now both on the sofa: one has his attention on you and the other has his attention on the unattended mail on the coffee table that's been neglected two days ago.

“this one? no... that one? also no...”

“jin, quit mumbling.”

“cover your ears then.”

rolling his eyes, sukuna downs the last bit of beer remaining in the bottle. he's now officially out of beer and too lazy to get one.

being left without a distraction, he's forced to observe jin's house. it's nothing extraordinary. he believes his house to be better.

he voices out a sigh, slouching and spreading his legs further apart. the boredom's hitting him earlier than it usually does — this is your fault. if you weren't busy zooming cars around the living room with yuuji then he wouldn't be bored.

as sukuna's busy with complaining, he doesn't notice yuuji speed walking to the sofa with a broken car in hand. you're right behind him, sporting a smile that says you got yourself in some trouble.

“daaad, the car!” yuuji whines, climbing onto the free spot between his dad and his uncle.

jin hums, raising his eyebrows but his gaze is fixed on the mail as he's still sorting them out.

“it broke,” the boy complains, pouting at the toy.

“it lost control and rammed into the wall,” you explained further, sitting on the armrest on sukuna's side.

sukuna's arm fixes itself around your hips. he's slightly smirking at the news.

that doesn't go unnoticed by you. you're more than familiar with your boyfriend's joy at other's misery. you shot him a glare with a light tap on his shoulder.

“is that so?” jin's attention is now fully on his boy. he takes the glasses off, pulling yuuji onto his lap.

taking the car into his hand, he inspects the damages. it's not too much, and it's fixable.

“dad will fix it later, okay,” reassuring yuuji, jin ruffles his hair.

yuuji nods, jumping down from his dad's lap to return to the toys. as he's on his way, he turns, appearing to have suddenly remembered something.

“(y/n), come play with me!”

“no, she won't,” sukuna answers for you, ignoring the harder hit you gave him on his shoulder.

“i'll be right there, yuuji,” this time you answer, giving him a warm smile and a thumbs up.

“give the boy a fucking brother,” sukuna grumbles, looking at jin with pure annoyance.

jin shoots his brother a smile, giving him no reply before he goes back to reading the final mail of the bunch.

[wtfforged]

my campaign hiatus has gone on for too long so to cope ive combined my interests at their maximum potency and had some dnd-strawhats thoughts

thoughts in depth under read more... :)!

this is SO self indulgent. their designs literally did not change. but i am a firm believer that dnd doesnt have to be european high fantasy. and also one piece literally IS fantasy. no changes are necessary to fit into dnd. ive already imagined plenty of campaign/oneshot ideas inspired by one piece. so this was basically just an exercise of trying to replicate their canon abilities in dnd 5e as much as possible without totally homebrewing everything. well. aside from luffy. you just cant take away or change his stretching.

LUFFY: (human monk. drunken master subclass. outlander)

the only plain human of the crew to balance out with the fact that he still has rubber powers. obviously a monk. but drunken master subclass specifically because i think the flavor(not the fact that its about being a drunkard) and abilities both fit him really well. this line in the subclass' flavortext especially fits him: "A drunken master often enjoys playing the fool to bring gladness to the despondent or to demonstrate humility to the arrogant, but when battle is joined, the drunken master can be a maddening, masterful foe."

ZORO: (tiefling fighter. samurai subclass. bounty hunter)

a fighter with the samurai subclass is so very incredibly obvious... but i actually had a lot of fun geeking out while comparing the abilities to what he can do in canon; Fighting Spirit, Rapid Strike, and Strength Before Death especially! tiefling is also pretty on the nose for his demon pirate hunter shtick and asura form, but i thought he'd be really human-passing for a tiefling and theorized about his tail getting cut off at some point or another before joining the strawhats. initially wasnt gonna give him a feat, but i gave sanji a feat so i thought itd be unfair to not give him one as well, so sentinel fits the bill pretty well i think!

NAMI: (tabaxi rogue. arcane trickster subclass. criminal)

cat burglar -> full grown literal humanoid cat. this one is INCREDIBLY self indulgent... i love... cats... theres nothing deeper to this and no other reasoning. i took cat burglar and ran with it. can you tell that i love izutsumi dungeon meshi? rogue for the aforementioned burglar-ing as well, and the arcane trickster subclass for when she picks up climatact! the mage hand will be very useful for her pickpocketing. in the future as she levels up with timeskip, i can totally see her multiclassing into wizard as well! weather wizard!

USOPP: (lightfoot halfling artificer. artillerist subclass. urchin)

I HAD SO MUCH FUN THINKING ABOUT HIS CHARACTER SHEET. halfling's Naturally Stealthy ability lets him hide behind his crewmates since theyre (almost) all bigger than him, so its perfect for hiding behind zoro or sanji all the time. Lucky is also perfect for him, and I think Brave fits pretty well too when he puts on the sogeking mask. artillerist artificer is also very fun! tinkering and making magic items for his crew, and i think Eldritch Canon or Arcane Firearm could both be easily reflavored as kabuto or any of his inventions. for emphasizing his sniper-ness, the spell sniper feat was also necessary. i think hes my favorite of all the concepts. big ears and long nose combo is so cute to me.

SANJI: (half-elf monk. drunken master subclass. guild artisan (cook!))

race was mostly based on vibes i wont lie. squints. and that vinsmoke balogna or whatever too ig. but mostly vibes. along with the idea that i think a dwarf zeff raising him would be really funny and cute. monk is also obvious, and same subclass as luffy for mostly the same reasons. though the flavor fits him much less, i think the abilities still fit him perfectly, and this blurb specifically; "Your martial arts technique mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer." i really wanted to give him a different subclass from luffy, but i dislike all the other monk subclasses a lot and i found none of them fit him as well anyways, so to try and give them SOME differences, i gave him the crusher feat.

CHOPPER: (awakened deer(shifter statblock) cleric. life subclass. hermit)

this ones definitely a mouthful im sorry. awakened deer for obvious reasons, but due to magic instead of devil fruit stuff. when i was struggling with his race, i looked a lot at shifter because of his forms, but it occurred to me that itd be super cool if he could shift between all of the different shifter options instead of being stuck with just one to replicate his rumble balls. something like heavy point/guard point=beasthide, horn point/arm point(?maybe?)=longtooth, walk point/jumping point=swiftstride, and brain point=wildhunt. hed definitely need some kind of nerf though to balance out that homebrew... and cleric for class. duh.

ROBIN: (high elf wizard. order of scribes subclass. criminal)

robin is definitely the one i struggled the most with just because of her class. elf came pretty easily- shes very elegant and i think shed look cute with super long ears- and i landed on high elf instead of wood elf for the int-based abilities. i was really on the fence between sorcerer and wizard for her because i knew shed be a full spellcaster, but i didnt feel that any of the subclasses really fit her. i ended up going with wizard for order of the scribes since it focuses on texts and knowing everything. but also because robin with a flying talking sentient book would be crazy cool. it could also be similar to how she spawns mouths and eyes places to talk to or watch people. my "fuck it, why not. this would be rad. its my house" mindset kicked in with her i will admit. also the One with the Word ability made me cackle out loud when i read it. thats the funniest ability ever. anyways, i cant really think of a way to replicate her powers, but maybe we could just reflavor a bunch of spells to be her limbs or clutch; hold person, maximillian's earthen grasp, or evard's black tentacles. thatd probably work okay, and theres a handful of spells to replicate her ability to spawn eyes or mouths. unrelated, but i imagine nico olvia to be a drow. why? her hair is white. i am a simple man!
