A DC X DP IDEA #37

Progenitor

Imagine dis…

I saw a TikTok about this and some A03 fics inspired me as well.

It is about the eldest daughter being parentified by her parents towards her younger siblings.

Many fics portray Danny as much closer to Jazz as she is the one who raised him since their parents are so focused on their ghostly research, and even during crucial days like holidays are filled with arguments.

There are very few where I saw Jazz feeling motherly love towards Danny, doing things only a mother would dare to do for the sake of her child.

…

Danny was originally born as Danyal Al Ghul, the lesser twin of him and his older brother, Damian Al Ghul. Danyal has the softness that no Al Ghul should have, the innocence that seems to bloom within his heart that seemed impossible to grow under the harsh desert sand and discipline within their grandfather’s rule. He tried to open up to his twin, after all, they came together, so there must be something to be linked between the two brothers.

Yet it was naive thinking of him, it had met him a deep scar on his right cheek for such an act.

He also tried to reach out to his mother, surely the woman with whom he shared a connection both blood and flesh, and the woman who had carried him and his brother within her womb instead of the artificial womb that grandfather insisted for their development for future advantage.

He received nothing but a slap and an hour under intense torture that no toddler should ever experience.

He also tried to reach out to their guard, the guard with hazed eyes. Damian had immediately lost interest in their supposed guard but he stayed. He observed the guard found little things that he quite enjoyed with the guard, the nameless guard would hold the book as if reading but now actual movement reading, so he would occasionally sit on his lap and let him read a book and read it out loud, sometimes he would see him nod along or a slight twitch of his fingers or face.

He got attached to his guard, and despite being catatonic he still had the moves of a deadly fighter so Danyal began copying him, learning from him, every time he got as much as a scrape his guard would kneel and stare at the wound as if he could stare the injury away. It made Danyal smile as he knew that his guard was trying to make it better but knew nothing of how.

Under those glazed eyes Danyal heard him speak for the first and last time. It was another day for Danyal and his guard yet when he entered his chamber he was gone, leaving Danyal to care for his heart that had been broken for another time.

Slowly but surely he made a wall around his heart, he loved so much, he loved so much yet no one stayed for him. No one gave their love and devotion back to him. So he put up walls, so that his fragile heart that had been torn into pieces by those he gave his heart to, would never further break.

It was a normal day really, a small time group of assassins that had been absorbed by the League a long time ago held loyalty to their former leader who had been executed by Ra. In an act of revenge, the remaining assassins poisoned the two heirs of the Demon head and immediately killed themselves.

As Danyal lays down on the cold floor of their private chambers with Damian already unconscious he begins to wish, from the books he manages to read with his guard he learns of a legend, wish upon a star tell no one and your wish will come true, he began to wish for his next life for someone to love him with all his heart.

…

He was reborn, the moment he blinked his eyes he noticed that had regressed into a mere baby. He was born into a family of scientists, if he can call them that, ever spent most of their time tinkering away and discussing their l; latest project. It did not bother Danyal Daniel much as he had experienced firsthand how to be compared and be ignored in favor of your much in favor of brother.

But this time it was different, instead of being left behind by the older sibling she stayed. Jasmine or Jazz as she preferred, stayed and looked after him, which confused him for a bit, being the more favored sibling both by their parents and the desolate town around them, she could left him to fend for himself, but still, she stayed.

She read so many books that reached passed her height, about parenting and how to take care of a baby. It was all new to him that he didn’t know what to do with all of the attention and love that seem to radiant from his sister to him.

He saw some of his age group civilians see how they look at their guardians and parents and how said guardians/ parents would act towards them and made a realization that he finally found the one, the one where he could lower his walls and give his entire heart to, mother? Or father? Titles that whispered inside his head. Whenever he needed help she was there, whenever he was in distress she was there to comfort her. Each time she was there, both mother and father she had filled both roles despite having the opportunity to go away and be great using her intellect and own means she stayed just for him.

He physically fumbled and tripped at what to do with the amount of love that he could ever wish to have, not only that 2 more joined in loving and caring for him. Samantha Ingrid "Sam" Manson and Tucker Foley are friends who are with him through thick and thin, even at the moment of his death they were there.

To get back to them forever loving him, he defended the town where his precious people lived.

Ellie was a surprise he sometimes wished to have a younger sibling to care for, it may started rough but both are going somewhere. Then there is his older self from the future, he saw himself if he managed to lose the most important people in his life. Dan knew both in and out the things he kept secret and every thought he made, both made a slow and shaking bond but when something clicked within them, it was there to acknowledge.

It had been perfect, Daniel Danny’s life had been, a family that loved him it was all he ever wished for. If only Maddie and Jack never did discover who he was, being cut open and witnessing how your very insides move and twitch made even the hardened soldiers faint. Jazz’s scream echoed the deep lab that coated his blood at every nook and cranny.

The moment he woke up he felt nothing but dread, he was back….

Deep within the walls of the League, a lone boy let out a silent scream to the skies.

…

Danyal woke up three days after Damian woke up, He could not get into his head, he still retained the memories of when he was Danny, some scars that only Danny ever had yet it all felt like a dream, a haze and illusion that his mind had made. From that day on he began moving through the motion, without putting any life or force in each swing, being the good little soldier that all wanted. Slowly the light in his eyes was lost and if you were to observe him from afar you’d see an asset, not a boy walking through the motions of the day.

Ra was pleased, the tool that he had seen but a dull knife was slowly sharpening itself, while both Damian and Talia remained indifferent.

…

The twins were 10 when they were sent off to their father in Gotham.

Richard “Dick” Grayson immediately took a liking to Damian as he not only saw Jason in him but also a child that needed guidance, which was cemented when they all thought that Bruce had died, it was right then that moment when Dick ensured to be the guidance that Damian needed, all while leaving Danyal.

Jason tried to be closer to the demon brat but whenever he tried to initiate some of his old habits back when he was in the League and back when his mind was still hazy he was met with a sword in his face he thought that he was shy and kept on trying to connect with said baby brother, all while leaving Danyal.

Tim is reserved and becomes guarded when Dmain threatens him and cuts off his line, he also sets up expectations towards the silent twin who seems to be a wallflower most of the time but that doesn’t deter him, so when Tim and Damian begins working on a relationship, they just didn’t see the other twin that had been left behind again.

Bruce has many regrets in his life and when his biological kids appeared he swore to be there for them, it was when he was lost in the time stream that he promised himself to be more involved in all of his kid's lives, from Dick’s job as a cop in Bludhaven to Damian’s artwork at school. He made sure that he had the time for all of them, never repeating his mistakes, yet he also left Danyal behind.

…

Constantine is sweating, as much as he rather summon another bloody demon to deal with the problem at hand, he knows that even the strongest demons he could call forth could not defeat a denizen of the Realms. He already explained to the rest of the JL that only a denizen that is either equal or greater power can defeat whomever it is making the citizens of Metropolis depressed and being murdered left and right. As he drew the summoning circle to summon the strongest that could catch this call, he just hoped it was something he or the JL could pay.

As he activated the circle, large blue flames began to surround the entire JL base that are both cold and hot. He closed his eyes shit at the sheer intensity of this being’s raw power to the point every JL member from both Dark and Maine is pushed 5 feet back at the intense power when he opened his eyes to look at what kind of being he just summoned he immediately paled to the color of paper.

There she is, in all her glory, blue flames that flow down to her back, standing 8 feet tall carrying a javelin, she wears a stunning navy blue gown that combines elegance with a militaristic edge. The sculpted shoulders, embellished with gold-embroidered epaulets, gave her a commanding presence, while the fitted bodice embraced her figure with effortless grace. A satin belt with a gold buckle tightened her waist, and the A-line skirt fell just past the knee. Subtle gold accents traced the seams, giving the clothing a regal appearance. The garment, worn with tailored slacks underneath, gave her freedom of movement evoking the authority of an empress.

He just summoned the bloody Mother of the Infinite Realms, the mother of the prince of the Infinite Realms that defeated the tyrant Pariah Dark. He immediately prostates himself alongside the rest of the JL Dark realizing whom John Constantine just summoned.

…

The rest of the JL that remained standing looked in awe and caution at the being that Constantine managed to summon, as well as the rest of the JL Dark’s behavior towards the being. All sweaty and bowing in reverence. In the most polite tone they ever heard from the con artist he asked for their assistance in containing a rouge denizen and their payment for such an endeavor.

The being looked at each of them slowly, feeling their very instincts to bow at least at the being when they felt their eyes on them and ultimately paused on Batman. She pointed her weapon at the Bat cladded hero and asked him for him as payment, not anything that Constantine was thinking but hearing his skill as a great detective their payment was for Batman to look for her treasure that she had lost and at moment she had felt the moment they stepped into this universe. Batman agreed after they had smoothed over the details of said contract. The empress, Nightigale, summoned her knight and told him to deal with their denizen and toss them back into Walker’s prison.

Looking blankly at Batman, he had no choice but to let Empress Nightingale follow him back to the cave for her to foresee the investigation of her treasure and to ensure he fulfilled his end of the deal.

…

The moment Bruce stepped inside the cave he noticed Empress Nightgale had also stopped dead in her tracks and looked intently at his youngest, Danyal, who had been training at one of the cave’s training mats. What’s more interesting is that Danyal also stopped and stared at the visitor that Bruce brought along. Just as he was about the introduce the two, he saw Danyal the ever-quiet child sprung into life and tackled the empress, while Nightgale herself had her long arms wrapped around Danyal.

Bruce saw Danyal’s eyes spring into life, tears welled up in his eyes and a pure smile stretched across his youngest face. Suddenly Bruce felt Bane had punched him again, he had never seen his youngest so happy, so full of life ever since he met him. He always thought that his youngest was independent, so quiet that he had left him with his devices, somewhere within Bruce’s mind whispered that he was too late once again.

…

News about Danyal’s sudden change of attitude had reached all of the members, even in the deep corner of space.

Dick, Jason, and Tim are now seething with rage and disappointed at themselves for the wasted time they wasted in being Danyal’s life. Who has now an older sibling that despite his menacing appearance adored and teased Dnayal in a way that erupted laughs and giggles from the boy?

Dick forgetting that they were twins, Dick kept reassuring himself that he was too busy but with each memory that he visited Danyal is always right behind them looking at them with lifeless eyes, as if he had just made a different choice back then.

Jason for forgetting his ward that had adopted when he was in the League, probably the only thing that kept him sane as the green clouded in his mind when he was dunked in the pit was the fact his little chick was within the walls and the thought that he might hurt him halted his massacre.

Tim who had now noticed the small notes scattered on his desk that were not the handwriting of anyone he knew yet the initial DW, always assumed that it was Damian who was quietly helping him in cases but the revelation that it had been Danyal made him want to turn back time. He had noticed early on that Danyal wanted to be closer to him, but pushed the boy away for expecting to be like Damian.

Damian is seething with jealousy as he notices that Danyal begins spending most of his time outside with the demon that stole his brother. He kept bringing up to his father that the being that Constantine summoned was a demon already mind-controlled Danyal. But even though he cannot stop and drink in the joyful face that Danyal has whenever he is with Nightgale, he keeps remembering the time Danyal acted this way towards him.

Talia is also seething beneath her mask of indifference how dare this thing claim to be her son’s parent? It is not she who had given birth nor she is the one who ensured they both survive, but the fact that thing gifted Danyal the head of the Joker and her father’s head after revealing to her son her own father’s plan that even she is not privy on made her want to revive her father herself and be the one to end his pathetic life, how dare his father plan that horrendous ritual behind her back.

What if prehistoric reader is so motherly and protective of Baki because back in her time when she was little, her mother dutifully cared for her until her awful demise by some predators and she wanted to give some love to Baki. So he won’t feel as alone and scared like she did. Until she met Pickle anyway.

At some point in one of the stories (perhaps pregnant or mother reader?) I had approached this idea of prehistoric reader being curious about Baki’s mother. She lacked the tools to question him about his family, but once she acquires a more complex vocabulary she begins probing for some background. Does he have a mother? If so, where is she? I’m picturing one of those classic anime scenes where both people slouch in neighboring swings in an empty playground on a late evening. Baki has a stick in his hand and is doodling in the sand, a clumsy attempt at a family portrait. He’s not quite sure how to explain all of the details. He points at the drawing of his mom and then looks up to the reddening sky and reader’s eyes widen in realization.

“Dead?”

“Dead.”

She can feel her chest tighten and immediately regrets intruding such sad memories. Baki notices her awkwardness and chuckles, reassuring her in a quiet, soft voice that it’s not a secret to be avoided. He returns the question and now it’s reader’s turn to point at the sky with a melancholic smile. Then again, even if she hadn’t died, she would be long gone by now. What a strange thought.

Learning the circumstances of the death are a completely different story. Reader is filled with wrath once she connects the dots and Baki has to hold her back and plead to allow him to deal with it himself. Safe to say that motherly reader will never look at Yuujirou the same. That man will feel her vengeance sooner or later. No sin goes unpunished. Not under her watch.

[Heatwave X Femme!Tiger!Reader]

[Word Count: 2904]

[Warnings: N/A]

[Note: I’m sorry this took so long!! It took me a while to get a proper idea but I hope you enjoy this!]

—————————————————

The news of a new addition to the rescue team shocked everyone, especially when learning that this new addition wasn’t a rescue vehicle or even had a vehicle alt mode, they had an earth animal as their alt mode, a tiger. So when Optimus brought them along to meet the rescue bots, they were reasonably surprised when they saw how large this femme was, clearly a strong bot with a calm aura around her.

Heatwave doesn’t trust her, almost immediately after seeing her, it’s not that he wouldn’t trust a non rescue bot, it's just the fact she’s never been apart of a rescue team that he doesn’t trust, especially a bot without a vehicle mode, sure, she’s strong, but that will only get her so far, as leader of their team, he has to think about his teammates strengths and weaknesses, as well as the safety of his team, and this new bot has far too many weaknesses in his optics. Yet, he says nothing about it, not wanting to go against Optimus, especially since the Autobot leader seems to trust this femme, so she can’t be that bad if Optimus seems to think she belongs on their team.

As Optimus leaves, he glances at Heatwave, recognizing the look in his optics, he knows the rescue bot doesn’t trust the new bot, but he has the suspicion that’ll change in a few weeks of them interacting. He gives a curt nod and a “good luck” to the team before leaving through the ground bridge, leaving the team to their own devices and the new bot.

Cody, ever excited to meet a new bot, runs up to the femme, a thousand questions running through his mind as he introduces himself to her. “Hi, I’m Cody!” The child was more than happy to help this new bot adjust to their new environment, like he did with the rescue bots.

“Hello Cody, I am Y/N.” The femme looks down at the small human with a small smile on her face, almost instantly feeling a need to protect the human boy, which she assumes is due to the fact he’s so small, like a little sparkling.

She looks up when the helicopter, she now knows as Blades, practically bounces over to her with a wave and smile, his own questions on his glossa. “Have you ever watched human tv? It’s hilarious, you need to watch it sometime!”

“I have not, I suppose you will have to show me sometimes, Blades.” She hums, returning his smile with a soft one of her own, watching as the others start to ask her questions, she chuckles softly as she answers them with the best of her abilities, not yet noticing the optics glaring at her back.

Heatwave continues to glare at the femme with suspicion, he has his own questions but he refrained from asking them now, just watching the others interact with her, he is glad his team seems to be happy with the new teammate, that much he does recognize and care for, he wants his team to be happy. Now, he does notice that the way she's treating his team and Cody is with true care and an almost motherly aura surrounding her as she speaks with a gentle smile and voice.

Heatwave vents heavily before pushing off the wall he was leaning on to go introduce himself and make his status as leader known. He walks over to them with his arms crossed, a stoic expression on his face as he stops just before the crowd of his teammates surrounding the femme, noticing her glancing over at him before she had fully turned to face him.

“Heatwave. I’m the leader of this team.” He held out a servo to properly introduce himself and see where this femmes respect stands in this team, more importantly if she returns the handshake if she respects him.

“Y/N, I hope to do well on your team.” She shook his servo in return, she has a strong grip, clearly she does hold a lot of respect for him, that much he could tell, it does a little to ease his suspicion and distrust.

Heatwave nods before backing off and walking away, letting the others continue their questioning and conversation. He still has his distrust and suspicions but he says nothing for now, leaning back on the wall with his arms crossed and a heavy vent. He perks up slightly when Chief walks over to him, standing up straighter when he looks down at the human.

“Don’t trust her, huh?” Chief had leaned against the wall next to the mech, his hands in the pockets of his trousers, watching his family happily introduce the newcomer to the things in the bunker.

“No. I don’t see how she can be helpful during missions, she’s not a rescue vehicle, if anything, she’s more closely related to predacons than rescue bots.” Heatwave grunts, his shoulder’s heaving as he looks back at the team, watching her with narrowed optics, he can tell she has no malicious intent, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a threat.

“Don’t worry, Heatwave,” Chief chuckles a little, watching his family with fondness. He's glad they’re getting along with their new friend, who seems to be quite fond of them as well. “She’s a good person, and her alt mode will definitely help us with rescues that are on more difficult and challenging terrain that you can’t traverse easily. Also, from what Optimus told me, she’s incredibly strong as well.”

Heatwave sighs, yet he argues no further, begrudgingly acknowledging that she would be the best in a rescue with difficult terrain, it’d be useful that she’s also strong enough to hold her own if she needed. He continues to watch her with narrowed optics though, he can acknowledge her strengths, but that doesn’t make him trust her more, he’s still struggling with accepting anyone new to the team.

—————————————————

It’s been a few weeks since Y/N joined the team, and Heatwave still doesn’t seem to trust her fully, he’s appreciative of her help on the rescues that he and his team can’t reach, specifically in forests and the mountains, she definitely has the advantage in that field with her tiger alt mode, she quick and strong, he can respect that.

But currently, the team is batting down Griffin Rock as a large storm rolls over the island, their human companions are pulling sandbags over to buildings so water doesn’t flood underneath the doors, Heatwave and the other bots are moving large storage containers away from the docks and properly stacking them while their metal frames are pelted by the rain coming down, Chief was about to call the bots back so they can return to the firehouse, but a deafening crack of lightning split the sky and crashes into an old, unstable building, forcing its foundation to crumble and crack, the building tipping over and falling.

The initial shock forced most of them to freeze as they are still recovering from the loud crack of lightning, but they’re taken out of their shock when Y/N broke into a sprint, quickly placing herself between the building and the humans, holding the building up, offering the only support to the broken building, planting her pedes firmly on the ground so she won’t budge at all despite how heavy to building may be.

The team started to try and find a way to fix the damage so she doesn’t strain herself holding it up for so long, if she were to release it, the building would crumble and become debris that the storm could fling through the air, but it was too severe, the foundation wouldn’t hold no matter how much they tried to find a way to repair it, but as the rain grew heavier and the winds grew stronger, it was growing too dangerous for the humans to remain outside without the threat of being injured.

“Get out of here, I’ll be fine, I’m more than capable of holding the building up until the storm is over!” She digs her claws into the brick of the building, remaining steady as she tells the others to retreat, she doesn’t want them to risk their lives when she’ll be able to hold out until daybreak.

They were all obviously hesitant to leave her alone, they didn’t want to abandon her when anything could happen to her, but Heatwave stepped over to her, a serious expression on his face. “I’m staying.”

“Heatwave-“ When she tried to object, Heatwave cut her off quickly, his tone sharp and serious.

“I’m staying. It’s my job to make sure my team is safe and last I checked, you’re a part of my team.” Heatwave crossed his arms, stubborn and refusing to let her get a word in, he may not fully trust her, but she’s his teammate, he’s not leaving her in the middle of a massive storm.

She stares at him before sighing in defeat and nods, letting him stay with her throughout the storm, no matter what she says or does, he won’t leave or accept her request to get somewhere safer than here. Heatwave nods to the rest of his team, a silent way of telling them to retreat back to the firehouse and wait out the storm before returning when it’s over.

The two of them watch the rest of the team leave, Cody showing the most concern for Y/N as they drive away, leaving the leader and femme holding an entire building up alone. Now they must wait through the night for this storm to end, the raindrops pelting against their frames, causing Heatwave to shudder a bit while he keeps an optic on her, making sure she can actually take the strain of holding a building up for so long.

Heatwave keeps her company, making small talk to fill the little silence the storm gives them, watching the dark clouds blend with the night sky, plunging them in a world of darkness as they speak, as the hours pass, he learns more of her and her past, why her alt mode is so different from everyone else’s, any of his earlier suspicions of her slowly dissipate throughout the night, he has gained a true respect for her when he finally processed that out of any of them, she was the first to move towards the building as it fell while they all remained frozen, she did something he couldn’t, and he can respect that, complimenting her strength and intuition which earns him a soft smile from the femme, causing his own ghost of a smile to appear on his face.

—————————————————

As the clouds clear and the morning light peeks through the clouds, Heatwave gets a call from Cody, who is quick to ask if Y/N is okay, which Heatwave assures the boy that the femme is more than okay and still standing, even though he can hear her metal frame straining against the building, her optics had shut at a point so she can focus on holding the building up longer. Cody then informs Heatwave that they’re getting Doc Greene to come down to the docks to find a way to get the building out of her servos without destroying it and causing more problems. Heatwave is more than thankful to hear that news, bidding farewell to Cody before returning his focus to her.

He can tell she’s straining, her pedes are trying to slide and move on the wet ground beneath them, her metal farm creaks with struggle as she grits her denta. He knows he has to keep watch of her so she doesn’t fold under the stress of the weight above her, he truly doesn’t want her to get hurt or damaged in any way, he cares, so he waits with bated breath for everyone to arrive.

Heatwave looked up once he heard Chase’s siren coming in their direction, he could hear Blades flying above as well, he heaved a sigh of relief, looking back at her with concern and relief. “They’re here, you’ll be relieved of your duty soon.”

She could only grunt in reply with a stiff nod, she could feel the stress her body was under, groaning quietly as her legs creak with pressure from the building, her arms are shaky, yet she kept her claws firmly stuck in the bricks of the building, refusing to give in just yet.

As the Chase pulls up, Cody practically hurls himself out of the car door, sprinting over to them with concern written all over his face, he skids to a stop in front of Y/N, while the others start to work on getting the building off her safely.

“Y/N! Are you okay!” Cody was obviously worried about the team's new addition, which was so very kind of the little boy, warming her spark for a moment as she gave him a strained smile.

“I’ll be better…once this thing is off me…” Her response was strained, obviously showing how much pressure and stress her body is under as she trembles for a moment, her legs no longer coordinated and unsteady beneath her.

Doc Greene is quick to find the reason why the foundation was so weak in the first place, there were cracks all throughout it which weakened the already old buildings stability, causing it to fall. Heatwave and the other bots are quick to help remove the building off of her, using their combined strength to lift the building before setting it on the nearby grass so it can later be fixed or demolished.

After they set it down, Blades runs over to her, having her sit down in the sun so she can warm up and recover, he was able to recognize her exhausted state, giving her a once over to make sure she wasn’t injured by the strain, luckily he found nothing which made the medic sigh in relief before he got up to return to the others, sternly telling her to take it easy, which makes her chuckle and hold up her servos in surrender before he walked off.

Heatwave walks back over to her side, sitting down beside her, knowing her tendency to try and help even if she’s already injured and in pain, so he’s making sure she stays put, but he doubts she’ll actually try this time, she just looks exhausted from his point of view anyway, he can see the way she trembles and vents heavily.

“Why aren’t you with the others?” She looks over at him with a tired expression, obviously she’d be tired after holding up a building which weighs only primus knows how much, she was curious why he was sitting with her, she really wasn’t going to move much, she’ll probably go into recharge back at the firehouse when they return.

“I…” Heatwave paused before lowering his voice so only she could hear him. “I was worried…when you had caught the building last night…and when you said you’d stay there for the rest of the night, I was afraid you’d get hurt…” He sighs quietly, looking away from her and towards the ground, his arms resting on his knees.

“Awh, so you do care about me, that’s sweet of you, leader.” She grins weakly, teasing him with what energy she had left, she was truly exhausted but now she was also incredibly grateful that he stuck with her throughout the night, she was more than happy to have had the company, she doesn’t know what she would have done if she was completely alone.

“Hey!” Heatwave barks with a scowl, getting a hearty laugh out of her before she shakes her head and looks at him with a small smile.

“But…thank you, Heatwave…really, I’m not sure I would’ve made it through the night without you by my side…” She spoke in a quiet and tired voice as her exhaustion started to hit her at full force now, making her loopy and sleepy.

Heatwave was genuinely surprised at her gratitude, he wasn’t exactly subtle with his distrust of her at first after all, so hearing her actually thank him and say that she wouldn’t have made it through the night without him makes him a bit flustered, his faceplates heating up with a light blue hue as he huffs, and turns his helm away from her with a grumbled “No problem…just don’t do something that stupid again.”

“Of course…” She chuckles quietly before leaning against his side, making him more flustered than he was previously , leaning up to gently plant a small kiss of gratitude on his cheek, before she started to doze off against his side, optics closing with exhaustion, her frame relaxing against his own.

Heatwave grumbles but doesn’t push her away, letting her lean on him as he rests his helm against her own, closing his optics as the stress and anxiety from the night fades away as they fell into a recharge next to each other, his team is definitely teasing him about it later, especially Kade, but that doesn’t matter to him now, they both need the rest, especially her, so they rest, a soft blue hue on his face as he breathes softly while she slept beside him, breathing peacefully as the sun shone down upon the two autobots, warming them and assuring a warm recharge.

maria hill x f!reader

comfort fluff - 1.4k words

It was the middle of the night. You had barged into her office as you usually do, and sat on top of the edge of her desk.

“What do you want Agent? Also, don’t you and won’t you ever learn to knock?” Agent Hill asked, gazing up from her stack of papers and work pile, looking up at you intensely. “I mean I am your boss. You could have at least a small amount of respect from me."

"You're still awake" you replied, with relief tinging your voice.

She lets out a deep sigh. “I’m too busy to go home today. Now answer the question, Agent. What. Do you want?” She’s obviously tired and irritated, but it isn’t anything she was too unused to. Her job always took precedence.

"I can't sleep Maria" you answered.

She sighs, temporarily placing her work and pen down. “Are you having nightmares? Or are you just in a rebellious phase right now?” She asks in a flat and monotone voice. But in reality, she was worried about you.

"Probably the latter, I've been sleeping past 4 lately."

Maria shakes her head. “You know how unhealthy that is. Why have you been doing that?” She asked, standing up from her chair and standing before the young girl. The two-decade age gap was certainly showing here.

"I'm not sure", you said softly, with a hint of uncertainty as to why your sleep schedule has been deteriorating of the late.

She sighed. “What have you been doing in these 4 am awake nights?” She asked with a frown, looking down at you, looking at your face and trying to analyze you.

You said softly with a sigh "Just trying to do anything but sleep." You've been struggling finding the will to actually go to bed, even if you were sleepy or the mild headaches were starting to form.

She sighed deeply, placing a hand on your head before starting to play with your hair. “So you’re tired right now…and you need to rest.” Maria Hill mumbled in a soft and gentle whisper-like voice. You were surprised, it was as if she was a different woman for the first time in a while.

You pouted slightly, grumbling "I am tired but I don't want to go to bed Maria".

She nodded, understanding. “You’re scared to go to sleep? Or are you just not tired enough?” She tilted her head slightly, continuing to play with your hair while asking.

“Come on. You need to sleep. The walk back to your room will be nice. And I’ll drive you home personally, in my own car...” She said firmly and calmly, almost like a mother would tell a young child to sleep. “Come on. I’m too tired to carry you.” She said, her voice soft and gentle, and the harsh frown on her face had also gone. “Don’t be stubborn.” She said firmly once again, giving you a faint yet warm smile and stroking your head once more.

You hummed softly, giving her a simple "fine."

“Good..come on now.” She said in a soft and motherly tone, as she stopped stroking your head once more and reached out with both hands for you to take. “Come on. You’re going to fall asleep in my car. I can already tell.” She said with a deep sigh, and walked out of the office, with you holding her hand.

You certainly disagreed with a passion, retorting with no bite "but a car is clearly the best place to have a nap anytime Maria." Sleeping during car rides was a common thing for you, as not only did it prevent any motion sickness from forming but it also gave you an extra bit of rest, which had never hurt anyone.

She sighed. “If you fall asleep in the car then I’ll carry you out and to your apartment. And trust me, as a former S.H.I.E.L.D agent, I have the strength to do it.” She threatened, in a soft yet firm tone. “I mean do you want me to really do that? I’m giving you a warning here, agent.” Maria said firmly, stopping for a second before continuing to walk, holding your hand as you followed behind her.

"I don't mind Maria", you replied. In all honesty you did not find it a single bit repulsive to be carried and even enjoyed the idea, especially by her.

She sighed yet again, opening the door to her own car and letting you enter first, before she entered the car, and sat down next to you. Starting the engine.

“Here we go, let’s get you to bed. Sleep well (y/n).”

She sighed, putting on her sunglasses and starting to drive. She would occasionally glance to your side and look over at you for a second, seeing if you were in a deep slumber. They continued to drive for a few more minutes in silence, before stopping at your house. She parked the car, looked down at you.

"(y/n)?"

You hummed sleepily in reply.

She let out a deep sigh, before opening her car door and picking you up bridal style, closing the door, and looking down at you.

“What the heck am I going to do with you..” She muttered under her breath, looking up at your house. She started walking forwards towards your house. Her footsteps making a soft noise against the pavement, trying not to wake you up.

“We’ve arrived.” She whispered in a low, soft tone as she arrived at your door, setting you down on your front step, her arms around you and holding you in them.

“You need to unlock your door now (y/n). Or do I need to pick you up again and use my key to open your front door?” She said firmly, in a soft tone, trying to wake you up as she leaned in close to your ear, keeping her voice low. It was almost like she was flirting with you.

You knew very well that you did not give her a spare key, surely she didn't have a key to your house, or did she? "You don't have my key but there's one underneath the mat" you mumbled sleepily.

“Thank you for telling me.” She whispered to you, smiling softly as she leaned in and kissed you on the temple. She gently set you against your door and crouched down to reach down under the mat, grabbing the key under the mat and unlocking your front door, and opening it with a soft nudge.

“Now, (y/n), you need to go to bed.” She said softly, gently picking up and carrying you in a bridal position through your house and to your bedroom, before very gently laying you down on your bed.

You hummed softly at her kiss. She sat down on the edge of your bed and slowly took off your shoes, setting them aside neatly and placing them by the bed. She would take off your jacket, shirt and pants as well, leaving you in some underwear and a bra.

“There you go, much better.” She said in a soft whisper-like voice, covering you up with your blankets and looking down at you. “Stay in bed now will you?” She said softly, reaching down to your side and brushing her hand against your cheek.

You reached out to hug your other pillow on your bed and hummed.

She sighed, watching you do that for a moment, before getting on some bed too and laying down next to you, wrapping her arms around you.

“There you go. Nice and warm.” She said in a soft tone, pulling you close against her and holding you close as she stroked your hair, gently playing with it. She would occasionally give your forehead a soft kiss.

"Good night," you whispered.

“Good night.” She whispered back softly in reply, wrapping you in her arms and looking down at you. She was going to be staying like this with you for some time. Maybe for a few minutes, an hour or even for the rest of the night.

She leaned down and kissed you on the forehead again, before slowly drifting off to sleep while still lying like this together. It wasn’t exactly the outcome she was expecting this evening, but she didn’t mind and felt more than content.

Please tell me about your IHNMAIMS headcanons!!! :3 I will eat them up

HEHEHEHE HIHIHI!!!

:3 multiple people asked me to talk about it and I talked about it with people in DMs too so here's the post for group discussion where I tag you all @average-hyperfixator @paig-does-it @infectiousliterature @a-st3r hello!!

God where to begin?

I was mainly talking about Ellen last night. I like. For context, I have this huge ihnmaims doc just *filled* with headcanons, how I would rewrite their backstories and psychodramas and such. Things like that!!! I only have like. Ted filled out coherently at this point, but I've been thinking about the others too. Like Ellen!!!

I really want to write her in a light where she's not. That soft-spoken, sweet, submissive and cowardly person that she's like all across the franchise. Like, she is, but not until AM messed with her, yk???

The Ellen I imagine...

Grew up in a very loving and very supportive family. She definitely doesn't come from money, but she's not really well-off either. She's kind of in Ted's situation in terms of financially, maybe a bit worse.

But!! That doesn't stop her or her family. She was loved. She was taken care of. She was encouraged. And as such, she's a very confident, strong-willed, determined woman when she grows up. She loves to learn, loves to do whatever she can get her hands on; stem, psychology, anthropology, history, computer science, engineering, etc, etc. She just wants to know all she can!!!

And man, with that type of determination + love of learning, it gets her places. She's a high achiever, maybe a bit of a perfectionist and hard on herself, but she's done so many great things in her life, she's admirable!

The only issue is... While family and friends may support her. While she's still achieved so much. It leaves a bitter aftertaste knowing that...

Well, she's still a black woman. Yk?

And that means she has to limit herself. Keep her light dimmed. In order to really... get anywhere she wants. Even if she hates it. Because, society only sees her in that light and nothing more. No matter what she does, her race and gender will still hold her down. If that makes sense?

She's kind. She's caring. She's a good person. She always has been, but wouldn't you also be kind of snarky and passive-aggressive if people diminish the things you do, just because of what you are? Being constantly compared to a white woman, or even a white man, being asked when you'll finally settle and start your "true calling" (marriage and kids), etc?

I like to think she's witty and cunning and just so smart, and seldom few people want to accept it due to their racism and misogyny. And it's awful

And then... The world ends. It blows up. Now you're the only black woman left on Earth alive, surrounded by men, and a sentient AI strips you of all those things that made you *you*. Turns you into someone you don't recognize.

It was AM's doing. Her becoming that soft-spoken, motherly, cowardly woman. That's not who she is. That's AM forcing her to take on a more traditional role; a wife, a mother. An accessory to a man. Because what would be more humiliating than that, to a woman who was so much more?

She's trapped in a box she can't get out of. One with a sliding door, always reminding her of what she could be, but it's too far out of reach. Trying to grab it will risk in your arm getting chopped off, or worse. (Thank you to paige-does-it for this idea specifically <333)

But still

The door can open. And she can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

So she has hope. She keeps it, close to her chest, and tries to give others the same. That they can survive this. That things can be better than they are now.

Not necessarily because she believes it, but...

She'd go insane without it.

(781) Rishen

(Fem) reader

(Goddess) reader

Imagine Rishen befriending this kind, moth/praying mantis goddess who is older and wiser about her insect abilities. And she helps him through his own struggles, like learning how to weave her silks better, or teaching them how to deal with their antennas or helping them to take care of their wings. She almost becomes this 2nd mother to him. And she's absolutely fine with that! Even getting a little protective when she sees Alessio playfully messing around with her sweet boy! Wrapping her fuzzy wings around him as they turn a orange red as a warning to Alessio!

(I based this idea off of Mothra from Godzilla KOTM and Godzilla x Kong The New Empire! Mothra's design is based on a Moth and a Praying Mantis, and I thought of sweet lil Rishen 🥺 and I thought it'd be super cute for them to have this figure in their life who's willing to help them, even if they are a goddess!)

((Also Mothra's wings change color due to bioluminescent, that's how she communicates in the movie, so that's why I added that detail. If y'all never seen the movie, if suggest viewing a few clips, she's literally BREATHTAKING 😌))

𖹭 ps. this was such a good concept AH I love the goddess reader sm! also I checked out mothra and it's soo cool !!

“woah there -”

emerald eyes proudly bore their bored pupils as an orange glow flashes across his face. the gleam is his boyfriend has long since been replaced by the stoicism of your face as you hover behind him.

“aha - mama - you don’t have to worry,” his attempt at assurance only has a loud puff emulating into the air. one that raises alessio’s brows and hands in sus. even if he may not understand the situation.

“alessio is just playing. . .”

“oh for his sake, I do hope so.”

the echo in your voice rings through the air together with another huff. a nervous smile finds his way onto alessio’s lips and his head cocks to the side with a bit of a chuckle.

“promise I’m not tryna turn him into a mothball.”

“MOTHBALL!?”

your roar punctuates with a large flap of your wings. to wish rishen’s laugh follows swiftly along with his arms that hoist quick to wrap around you. “he is playing! mama please,”

“I am not fond of your mate.”

“mate -”

both exchange a look. alas rishen can all but yelp as you pull him along and disappear into thin air. with a confused alessio left behind. already missing his dearest beloved.

“where are we going?” rishen hums. the tilt to his head makes your fingers itch to pet at his newly sprouted antenna, and so you do. the softness in your gaze returns as you set him atop one of the many nature-adorned buildings.

“silk training.”

“thought I finished with that for the week?”

his smile has you sighing. your wings tuck behind your tall figure in defeat and your gaze instead casts to the busy city life below. what a blessing of technology and nature. you are impressed by their harmony.

“alessio is nice,” rishen assures. “a bit of a troublemaker. . . but he loves me. and I love him.”

what more can you do but bring a hand to ruffle at his hair. your long, feathery lashes droop along with the corners of your lips.

“I am aware. yet I still view you as a little larvae. . .”

he is more than ready to nuzzle his fluff head of hair into your hand. the flutter of his wings reminds you that he is all grown up. your dear little bug.

Digital Circus x ROTG Idea!

Manny - Face of the Circus, the Ringleader, and is basically a softer spoken Caine with a moon for a head instead of chatter teeth. He sees the circus members as his children and friends, even if the only one who puts up with him is Jack. Tooth humours him, but clearly doesn’t like him, North is incredibly cautious about him, Bunny doesn’t know what to make of anything yet, and Sandy is…there.

Circus Members

Jack - The oldest circus member yet visibly the youngest. He’s also the welcome wagon for new vict-I mean acts! No one can get a read on him due to his hyper friendly nature and his insane amounts of teasing. Most believe he’s older than he acts and his mind just broke after the years of being here, but no one is quite sure. He’s gone a bit insane over the years, seeing people come and go so much, the smile he wears clearly forced in some moments but won’t drop the act.

He looks like normal Jack, but is a paper doll with scrapbooking eyelets. He can ‘disappear’ by rotating his body to get out of trouble and can glide around the circus with ease. Tends to talk to Manny like an annoying old friend.

Toothania - Obviously takes up Ragatha’s role of the caring older sister/motherly and tends to baby Jack to an almost smothering extent. Jack adores it, and if one of his pranks go badly, he has a habit of hiding behind her. You know, as long as she isn’t the victim of the prank.

She looks like a Skydancer, her arms able to come out of the wings. She does have a base, but it’s in her room since she doesn’t like using it all too much. Like Jack, she can also glide, but not unless she uses her base beforehand.

North - Is the main father figure to the circus members, as well as the muscle for adventures. He tends to be a bit forceful with his affection and has a habit of squeezing anyone he wishes to hug with a death grip. He has wrinkled Jack one too many times.

His appearance is very reminiscent of matryoshka dolls, or nesting eggs. He can hobble around and slide to get where he needs to go. Jack has a bit of hiding things in him and pulling out the most randomest things to save the day in many adventures. If push comes to shove, the other members can hide in him to protect them.

Bunnymund - Is the newest member to the circus. His first meeting with everyone didn’t go very well, him ripping Jack’s arm off as he had a panic/rage attack. Bunny has since chilled out mostly and seems cautious around Jack due to not really knowing how to apologize for what he did and the more he learns about the kid, the more crazed that smile he has grows in his mind. He’s cool with most of the other members, him and North having friendly competitions, him and Tooth generally chilling and relaxing with nice tea, and him venting to Sandy about anything that bothers him.

He looks like a big plush toy bunny, somehow taller than North, even without the ears. He’s very fuzzy and most of the other members love to hug him due to it. Recently a new use for his body had started to warm him up to Jack, and that’s using his soft plush body as a landing pad if the paper doll flies a bit too high and crashes back down. He’s also saved Tooth from a very similar fall.

Sandy - Is not really an active member in the circus. He’s almost always sleeping, or what could be considered sleeping. Jack says he’s the second oldest member, having coke just a little bit after him. When asked more about that time, however, Jack will clam up and not speak about it. Sandy does coke on missions, and even though it seems he’s sleeping through it, Will be an active member of the gang when asked. He’s very close with Jack and seems to be more wary of the other members.

Sandy is made mostly of clouds and can float with ease, his white and fluffy appearance having many yellow and orange undertones, as if the sun is rising behind him. Jack uses his floating to his advantage and to help him glide. Jack is also the only one light enough to chill on his little cloud he tends to sleep fly on. He does love going on adventures, but sleeping through while the others move his cloud is what normally tends to happen.

Pitch abstracted and was a storm cloud, coming in with Sandy together.

I hope you like my ideas! 🤭 If you have anymore, I’d like to hear them!

[witchthewriter]

hi! I know you've been doing a lot of these recently but if you could do a birth chart for the marauders I would absolutely love that 💕 whenever you get the time ofc I know you're busy and you still put out a lot of content despite that so, props to you for that!!! 😊

People with this alignment believe in doing the right thing no matter what 'side' they're on. They help others because they have the desire to do so, not because the law or anyone else, tells them to do it. They know laws can be unjust, so they do not blindly follow them. Most protagonists have this alignment.

One of the Major Arcana Tarot Cards, this card embodies growth, divinity, celebration and evolution. It represents abundance and material comfort, sensuality, security and emotional support. With An Aquarius Sun (open-minded, free-spirited, rebellious), Cancer Moon (intuitive, insightful, motherly) and Taurus Venus (this is the card's zodiac). Lily is feminine and doesn't rid herself of it to pursue her brilliance. She also doesn't put other girls down for being feminine or for not.

𝐒𝐔𝐍

𝑨𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒔

Imaginative, idealistic, and intellectual. This is the wise, old grandparent of the zodiac. Why? Aquarius is an evolved sign endowed with wisdom, patience and self-control. Second-to-last in the zodiac. Aquarius holds its head high with confidence in its ideas and opinions like a grandparent who has lived a full life of experiences and learned the lessons that have provided wisdom, patience and clear judgment.

𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍

𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓

The Moon aspect exaggerates or overemphasizes the qualities of said zodiac. In this case, the Moon exaggerates the Cancer zodiac, which is ... a hundred times more emphasized because the Moon is Cancer's ruling planet. Someone with this placement has emotional maturity, someone who is good in family situations, and someone who attracts a lot of attention without being overbearing or overtly trying to get attention.

𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆/𝐀𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐓

𝑽𝒊𝒓𝒈𝒐

Virgo is an Earth sign; the other two - Taurus & Capricorn, are on either end of the spectrum. Virgo is like the middle ground - they love getting into the details of things, of People with this placement are difficult people to get to know. They're intimidating without trying to be. and can seemingly see through your soul and uncover your intentions.

𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐘

𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓

Mercury represents the way we think and its position in element and house shows how we reason, pointing towards thoughts that preoccupy our entire existence. People with Mercury in Cancer have a soft and emotional approach to logic and communication.

People with this placement are great at expressing their emotions and have a way of making people comfortable with deep conversations. They don’t like small talk, which can make them put up a wall. Instead, they open up and relax when they are in the presence of other people who can go “there.” As an intuitive, sign, someone with Mercury in Cancer seems to always know the right thing to say, even in a delicate situation.

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒

𝑻𝒂𝒖𝒓𝒖𝒔

It's particularly fitting that Lily has a Taurus Venus, as that is the zodiac card for The Empress (I didn't do it on purpose btw). Taurus is ruled by Venus, so when Venus is located within the constellation itself, the sensual stereotypes of both sign and planet expand exponentially. A Taurus Venus is incredibly touchy-feely and desirous of physical connection. They’re also very feet-to-the-earth partners, craving stability and reliability.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒

𝑮𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊

The Mars aspect reveals the inner workings of our mind. It represents what makes us angry and how we express that anger. Our desires and how we go about getting them. The sign position of Mars reveals much about our basic animal nature. Mars in Gemini means a person is a highly intellectual and communicative placement. These people are great at debating, they love interaction and talking about all things.

Charming, brazen, roguish, adventurous, quick-witted, observant. This type is also known as the Daredevil. They're thrill-seekers, impulsive, energetic and very clever. Very influential and persuasive, they often become the leaders of the group - though they rarely like being so. Other ESTP characters include Jaime Lannister, Aquaman, Amy Pond, Han Solo, Robin Hood and Jennifer Check.

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅

Like the characters Robin Hood, the 11th Doctor and Mary Poppins, James Potter is also a Chaotic Good. That can be a bit murky with his interactions with Snape - he was definitely a bully and that cannot be denied. But ultimately, when it's good against evil, James is a Chaotic Good. The upside of this alignment is that they will do absolutely everything in their power not only to help innocence, but bring about change if they can.

𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃

𝑲𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔

This card represents a person who is assertive, hasty, confident, self-assured and a tad aggressive (also a bit of a bully). Once the knight sets forth towards his goals, there is absolutely no stopping him. He doesn't see - and he doesn't care - about any upcoming challenges.

Proud, bold and creative. Leos are truly natural-born leaders. They are charismatic, dramatic, energetic, passionate and full of life. Leos maintain a “king of the jungle” dynamic in almost every social group they are a part of. Fixed Fire which means they are dramatic, courageous, arrogant, and charismatic. Ruling planet: The Sun. Associated with Zeus.

𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍

𝑳𝒆𝒐

A Leo Sun is very different to a Leo Moon. But having a double Leo in one's chart means ... you exude a very bold, brazen and dramatic persona. And that is exactly how James is. Don't be intimidated by that though, because Leo's can be one of the most loyal signs there is. Also, Moon in Leo people are not necessarily outgoing. This can balance James, and keep him from being too much.

𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆/𝐀𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐓

𝑮𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊

Gemini Rising people love to ask questions, to move around freely, and to mingle. They have a big curiosity! Definitely restless and often quick in physical expression, natives of the Gemini Ascendant exude an air of impatience even if they don’t mean it. Quick-witted and possessing the gift of the gab, Gemini Rising is charming and talkative as well.

𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐘

𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔

Ruled by Mars, the planet of action, Mercury in Aries people speak quickly and sometimes without thinking first. People with this placement are passionate in their expressions. They are honest and direct which is great in some situations, but can be harsh in others. Mercury in Aries communicators make quick decisions–so quick that you might think they don’t much like thinking things over. The truth is, Aries communicators don’t have a lot of patience for mulling. Their decisions are often driven by the need for instant gratification.

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒

𝑳𝒆𝒐

When Venus Leo people are in love, they are proud, even boastful. They love to court and be courted, and they need to feel very special. Pleasing Venus in Leo involves paying lots of attention to them. They love to be adored, pampered and admired. They have a strong ego and want to feel like they are needed.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒

𝑨𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔

Mars is at home in the sign of Aries, act first, then figure out the rest later. People with this energy are unafraid to take action and often tend to be quite courageous. However, that can also make them quite brash and impulsive — diving in first and thinking about it later.

Many say Sirius is an ESTP like James, but I don't necessarily think so. There's more darkness, more mystery with Sirius - and James loves humour, he likes keeping things light-hearted and fun. Sirius is observant, analytical, and detached to most things; besides that which he loves.

𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅

When it comes down to it, Sirius is Chaotic Good to his very core. He doesn't want to hurt the innocent, but trauma has skewed his way of thinking at times. He detests authority and believes freedom is the only way a person can feel true happiness. Because of how he grew up, especially.

I chose to use this card, particularly in reverse, because of the message of inner truth, and quiet power. The message is that you either are or you need, to find your inner power and truth. This is very real for Sirius, in the sense that he was trapped by his family both physically and mentally. Part of his story is that he broke out, he knew hat he believed and it didn't line up with his family. He didn't want to be involved in their filthy opinions.

When the Sun is found in the mysterious sign of Scorpio, the emphasis is on the subtle and profound. Motivated by a need for emotional closeness, Scorpios seek connection and truth. Those born with the Sun in Scorpio often have much to learn about the nature of intimacy and power.

However turbulent their emotions may be under the surface, Capricorn Moons keep cool-headed and come across as indifferent. Capricorn Moons are often quite hard on themselves and would benefit from letting their guard down once in a while. Moon signs also tell of the relationship with one's mother. And the relationship of a Capricorn Moon means it was/is very tough.

Sagittarius Rising favours independence and freedom. With Sagittarius Rising, they like to travel, see new places, and learn how the rest of the world lives. There is a like for money, but their real appreciation is for the independence it affords. One of the most obvious and endearing traits of Sagittarius rising is their willingness to keep up a sense of humour.

𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐘

𝑮𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊

Having this placement elevates a person's quick wit and love of humour. Witty, curious and entertaining, they enjoy playing with language and toying with people. They bore easily and learn best from teachers and environments that possess a healthy dose of stimulation.

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒

𝑺𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒔

Free-spirited, independent and courageous - one wouldn't think this sign is good in a pair. And even though a Venus Sag needs space not just to move about their day unhindered, but also to mentally and emotionally grow and expand infinitely. But when they find the right person, Venus Sag's need to feel like they can grow and expand their horizons through their relationship. For example, they want to learn new things and experience everything together.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒

𝑺𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒑𝒊𝒐

This aspect gives someone a cunning and intense nature. Once they set their minds on something and desire it, they will stop at nothing to get it. They're very calculating and often eight steps ahead of everyone else. Mars in Scorpio love to challenge themselves to do the impossible (aka becoming an Animagus)...A Scorpio Mar's weapon is their stinger, poison, and secrecy.

It is well-known that Remus is an INFJ - insightful, perceptive, empathetic, thoughtful, kind, analytical, idealistic and intuitive. Remus has always been the heart of the Marauders, the one who keeps everyone in line, helping the others with their homework, and in turn, they gave him an undying loyalty.

𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

𝑳𝒂𝒘𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 then 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅

They’re the protectors, but also seen as morally rigid and stubborn. Always do the right thing; what’s expected of them by society. Feel very uncomfortable breaking the rules. And then when Remus is befriended by Sirius and James, everything changes. He's much more comfortable breaking the rules - but there has to be a good cause for it!

𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃

𝟓 𝒐𝒇 𝑷𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒅

The Five of Pentacles reversed indicates an end to difficult times. When Remus meets James, Sirius and Peter, his problems are now their problems i.e., they're no longer alone anymore. With this card, a person may start to feel as if life is worth living again and they are regaining their self-confidence.

𝑽𝒊𝒓𝒈𝒐

Virgos are naturally adaptable to the ever-changing nature of life — they're great at staying organized and on top of their schedules, even in the midst of chaos. Virgos, like the other Earth signs, are incredibly grounded and hardworking. This sign is arguably the most observant zodiac, and notices all the little details that everyone else misses. Methodical and practical, Virgos always have a plan and a course of action to make things happen. Therefore, Remus, as we all know, is the most grounded of the Marauders. The one who keeps the others from doing too much & going overboard.

𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍

𝑨𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒔

I chose to put the Aquarius placement as his Moon, because it amplifies the qualities in a person. The qualities of this placement is: extremely observant, sociable but a loner at heart, idealistic and progressive. Most notably, Aqua Moons often grow up feeling “different”...

𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆/𝐀𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐓

𝑷𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒔

People with this aspect are sensitive individuals, with an ability to “pick up on” the unseen influences in their surroundings. They're the type to toss in a surprising, profound quip. Remus is the type of person that has an innate warmth. He makes people feel at ease, comfortable and with his empathetic ear, makes others feel as though they have a shoulder to cry on.

𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐘

𝑮𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊

Having the same Mercury as Sirius makes a lot of sense to me. Especially since they both have a connection. Platonic or romantic, doesn't matter - but they click. In the same way that Remus and Lily click because they both have Aquarius in their chart. Bookish, intellectual and ready to learn.

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒

𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒏

This placement means Remus is dependable. His relationship with Tonks shows that he will stand by his person no matter what. Venus in Capricorn men project an aura of competency and their loner-like behaviour. They are a little shy in matters of the heart, but they don’t want you to know it.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒

𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒏

Strategic, hardworking, and are always after the long game, unafraid to put in the effort because of their innate desire for victory. When it comes to conflict, these people are cunning and practical, understanding that drama is a waste of energy unless they are coming out on top.

This could be argued (and I would have no problem if it was) but it's always difficult to place people who aren't good. ISFJs are quiet, proper, gentle, soft-spoken and detail-orientated. Traits can be linked to Peter, but it's difficult to attribute his corruption. Was it in his last year of Hogwarts?

𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

𝑵𝒆𝒖𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝑬𝒗𝒊𝒍

Those with this alignment might follow rules if it serves them, but they do not feel bound to them. This alignment usually makes alliances with others to further their own agenda, but have no issue with double-crossing their allies. This is actually quite true when you think about it in terms of the Marauders when they were young. Peter chose that friend group to further his popularity and not be the target.

𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒏

The Moon represents fears and illusions. Plagued by recurring nightmares, having constant anxiety and thinking your future is bleak - when it's all about perspective and courage. I chose this card because Peter chose to be meek. He chose to whimper in the corner and sacrifice others for his survival.

𝐒𝐔𝐍

𝑪𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓

Cancer is the animal of the crab. I chose this aspect because of that element; where there's a hard shell surrounding the body to protect it. And I see Peter as someone who needs to be protected because he is so cowardly. He's sensitive and can be manipulated easily. However, he can also manipulate others easily as well.

𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍

𝑳𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒂

Now, as we know the Moon in a person's chart amplifies whatever sign is in this aspect. Moon in Libra people have a strong need for partnership. Without someone to share their lives with, they feel utterly incomplete. In terms of Peter, it means he can't stand on his own, he can't stand up for himself either. Libra's like to placate, they like to be the peacekeeper.

𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆/𝐀𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐓

𝑷𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒔

A Pisces Rising is constantly changing their personality to adapt to those around them. They have a sense that no-one really knows who they are, and this is so true for Peter. And having Remus have the same Ascendant means they can bond over feeling as if they don't fit in.

𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐘

𝑳𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒂

They intuitively know the right things to say to smooth things over and can be very diplomatic. Unfortunately, they may often find themselves in the middle of conflicts because they are the ones trying to keep the peace. Mercury in Libra people are often the friend that both people in a disagreement confide in.

This can be conceptualised as Peter being the confidant in the group, the one that the boys go to when they want to get something off their chest.

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒

𝑳𝒊𝒃𝒓𝒂

Every individual saddled with the placement of Venus in Libra is an absolutely unhinged romantic. Libra Venus loves love and will impulsively overturn their entire life to indulge it if the vibes feel right for even a second. Unfortunately the vibes may not always actually be right when they feel right.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒

𝑷𝒊𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒔

Mars in Pisces brings an individual an emotional and sensitive nature. Mars is complicated in Pisces: As a Jupiter-ruled water sign, Pisces is all about bringing things together while Mars seeks to separate. The result often leaves a person acting a bit flakey. Their strength is less about divisiveness and more about flexibility and raw emotional power.

[merakiui]

hi mera!! this is my first ask but i hope it doesn’t get eaten, but before that i just want to say i enjoy your writing a lot, especially your azul writings???? and azul thought 2 was so good, that one got me on a tight octopus grip. i look forward to the sequel

i want to share this idea that got stuck in my head for days: nun!reader running an orphanage but it’s low on funds until one day rich businessman!azul makes a visits and donate a large sum of money

at first it seemed like azul did it out of generosity from the bottom of his heart and reader is incredibly grateful and indebted to him…but as it turns out he has other intentions

he’s deeply inlove with nun!reader but she’s a nun!! she can’t return his feelings sadly but azul finds a way… as he keeps donating more money to the orphanage and nun!reader has to make it up to him…with her body perhaps? like imagine they’re doing it an empty church after the kids of the orphanage go to bed

also it’s optional but imagine adding rollo to this scenario as the priest!!!

AAAAAAAAA YES YES OTL this is such a yummy concept omg!!!

You can't thank him enough! Oh, you're so grateful for his generous donation and you go on and on about how exciting this is. With these funds, you can buy more workbooks for the kids, replace the chalkboard, buy better ingredients for meals, replace some of the old bed frames, and more! Azul's a little annoyed with all of your never-ending prattling. Sure, it feeds his ego to see you bow your head over and over in thanks. But you could put your mouth to better use instead of just verbally expressing your thanks. >:( he's impatient and horny, but he smiles politely and tells you it's not a big deal. He loves to help those in need! Please come to him should you ever need any help.

You insist that he must come with you to meet the kids. He's a little unsure at first, but you're just so bright and bubbly and he decides he might as well accept your offer, if only to build rapport. Come the next day, he's knocking on the door to the little classroom and poking his head inside. The kids all adore him. They think Mr. Azul is the nicest, coolest guy they've ever met! They prepared drawings and wrote little thank you letters to express their gratitude, and he feels so fluffy inside when he notices how the kids flock to you when you tell them to give him some space. He watches the way you interact with them, so soft and sweet and motherly. It's not fair that you're a nun sworn to celibacy. What he wouldn't give to make you a mother...

Azul didn't think he'd become so fond of you so quickly, but every day spent with you is a blessing. You're just so perfect. Even the kids think so when he asks them about you. "What's Miss (Name) like?" he'll ask and the kids all say such nice things about you. Some of the girls giggle and gossip amongst themselves, eagerly theorizing if Mr. Azul is interested in you. It doesn't help that everyone calls you Mama in the orphanage; it really tests Azul's patience and restraint when the kids come running up to you and tugging on your habit to get you to play or to drag you to Azul because they found him shopping in town. Some of them try to pair the two of you together, setting up not-so-subtle dates under large trees in the courtyard. You find it charming and amusing; Azul thinks it would make for a nice reality.

But then his current reality, which is just as good (for now), is uprooted when Father Rollo comes to visit. Though he looks frigid and stern, he is very gentle when speaking to the kids. He reserves smiles for you and them, or so Azul has learned from observations. When he met Azul, he hesitated to shake his hand, looking at him as if he was a pest, before welcoming him to the orphanage and thanking him for his donation. Azul already dislikes Rollo. Most of all, he's jealous that the kids talk about you and Rollo as if you're a match made in heaven. What's so good about that father anyway! He looks as if he's crawled out of the grave, what with his dark circles and gloomy disposition. Azul, on the other hand, is handsome and put together and eloquent. So why do you seem to look at him as if he's the love of your life? It should be Azul you love, not Rollo! Azul would give you the entire world if you asked. He loves you! He's infatuated!

Maybe he'll just have to prove it to you before the eyes of the god you have so much faith in. :)

Do you have any HC Ronal just mothering spider

I love the idea of ronal seeing this boy who just wants to fit in, want to never stop learning, who strives to be the best he can, and feeding into that as a love language, and also helping him feel like he doesn't have to be like that to be deserving of love and family. aka, most of these are about her becoming almost like a mentor in a way, like a parent mentors their children, but making teaching very personal.

she takes spider out on her Ilu everyday, showing him something new, something important to her. it's personal to them, a time he gets to be held by his mother, spoken to in a soft but wise way he has always imagine a mother would one day speak to him. its a time she gets to hold her new baby, a baby she wishes she had gotten to bond with more in his life, no matter how logically impossible that wish is.

she may have lost her spirit sister, but she makes bringing him to see the tulkun a priority. sign lessons too, working it into everyday life just so he can become fluent. connecting him to his siblings is important to her.

she makes sure he feels included during family meals, sleep piles, going to the family bathing pool, etc. she makes sure he doesn't feel like he's just tagging along, but that he is meant to be there.

she worries about him physically; she knows his human body was never meant for this world, nor half of his normal activities. she pays special attention to his hands and feet, how scarred and calloused they are. she clicks her teeth at his thin frame (even if he's lean with muscle, he's still just so tiny to her, she worries) and the shiny skin on his nose, cheeks, and shoulders (sun damage). she makes a ritual of applying balms and ointmants, treating his hands and feet with oils, feeding him filling meals each and every night.

ronal makes sure to use terms of familial possession and terms of enderment for him. she doesn't use his name often, she typical calls him "yawne" (beloved), "maitan" (my son), or "yawntutsyìp" (darling/little loved one) [keep in mind, these came from the learnnavi site, and I don't know if these are accurate to the metkyina people or their dialect]

nags and disciplines him like any other mother would nag and discipline their children, the boy craves structure, normalcy, motherly love (even in the form of tough love).

I personally hc that ronal isn't the touchiest person, in terms of like hugs and like full body touch, but she's a hand on the shoulder type mom. she's always touching her kids in her own way. she's always has a hand on him, on his back/shoulder, in his hair, holding his arm. he always knows she's there.

speaking of hair, she definitely helps manage that (I think after neteyam he hacks it all of during his mourning period). she makes sure it doesn't dry out and tangle from the salt water, styles it in the traditional metkyina way (with a little help/education from mac and norm, his hair is style more appropriately for his hairtype, cause man have they been waiting for a chance to do that).

she knows that he wants to help, to be of use, but he can't be a hunter due to his body; so she teaches him how to cook and craft, to use the land (cause he has to relearn a lot of stuff in this new territory). she finds he really likes making jewelry and helping cook (both are very communal activities, its done in tight groups, he likes that). she definitely sticks back with him, spending more time doing that over hunting unlike before.

she has multiple beads on her song chord for him; when she first adopted him, the first time he met the tulkun, the first time he called her mom, etc.

[nightlight-stardust-and-rain]

So the general consensus is that Alastor's mom is in heaven, and that she'd disapprove of her son's actions, right? Though shit, I'm a slut for supportive parents, so have other ideas :

Idea number one : Alastor got his taste for murder from his mom, and she is also in hell because she killed people too (we don't know for sure she's in heaven, after all. Being a good parent doesn't keep you from doing horrible things sometimes - edit : apparently it IS canon that she's in heaven. Oh well. Guess this is an au idea now). Maybe she was involved in Alastor's murders, maybe she killed people separately from him, maybe she stopped killing people after she had her kid, maybe she only killed one person, point is : she's in hell too. She actually died after Alastor, who found her the very instant she landed here (he knew about her own killing(s) and heavily suspected that being an extraordinary mother would not redeem her in heaven's eyes, so he was waiting for her with extreme attention) and helped her adjust to hell. She decided to open a restaurant near Cannibal town, it's pretty famous in the Pride ring. She and Alastor live very near each other and spend as much time together as they can, but they mostly try to hide the fact that they're related and close because Alastor has some powerful ennemies and his mom is not quite as powerful as he is. They share a lot of deer features but try to camouflage some of them so people don't guess they're related (they both have a tail but only Alastor's mom lets hers be visible, they both have white spots-freckles but Alastor hides them, they both have antlers but Alastor's mom hides hers in her curly hair, they both are red-themed but she tends more towards purple and he exaggerates his red, etc). Rosie and Niffty are the only ones who know that she's Alastor's mom (other people who know them might know they're close, but not that they're related), and Rosie and Alastor's mom get along like a house on fire. So much gossip (and blackmail). He would introduce her to the hotel at some point (maybe as part of the staff? A part-time cook?) but he'd only call her a "dear friend". It would take some time for the others to guess their relation. Husk suspects heavily because he has eyes and he's seen them interact, but his monstrous boss being soft creeps him out so he doesn't look too closely. Angel Dust only tries hitting on her once, because the glare Alastor shoots him is the most terrifying thing he's ever seen (he's suddenly glad Alator restrains himself when Angel flirts with him). I think Charlie could benefit a bit from a motherly (or grandmotherly??) presence too.

Idea number two : Alastor's mom would absolutely have killed some assholes, she just lacked in opportunities and ended up in heaven because despite thinking about it real hard she hadn't killed anyone. She's been trying for a very long time to find a way to send messages to Hell (because her boy is absolutely down there and she doesn't think he would appreciate if she fell from heaven for him.). At some point she learns about the exterminations, which.... Exterminates any good will she may have had towards heaven haha. The possibility that her boy's been gone all this time, killed by some angel? She snaps. Of course now she has to fall from heaven, if only to check if her son's alive. How does one falls from heaven? She figures murder must do the trick. But who? That's also obvious. The leader of the exterminators and the most annoying man she's met in heaven will do!

That's how Alastor's mother murders Adam before he goes after the hotel, falling in the process. Luckily she falls right where she wants to be! I like to think that she's not phased by her fall at all and appoints herself the hotel's cook.

[fatuismooches]

omg omg omg i’m brainrotting so hard abt arlecchino rn im so sorry if you’ve already been sent smtg similar but hear me out: childhood friends to lovers w the one and only knave <33

growing up w her in the house of the hearth, ur the only person she has a soft spot for <33 even when she began ascending the ranks of the fatui u know she’d always come back to you <33 i’m entering delulu land but im LICHERALLY going crazy over the idea that the reason arlie killed the previous knave was because they threatened you and she was not having that dgjskdjdjd im scratching clawing at the walls of my enclosure

BONUS: whenever u show up to fontaine’s hearth all the kids get very very excited bcos they’re going to be able to break SO many rules and arlie will mostly let it slide since she’s just so damn weak for you <33 all u hv to do is bat ur pretty lashes a little and she’s folding like a wet paper towel (“another story surely won’t hurt the children 🥺🥺 please?” “………fine”) one of the kids accidentally called you ‘mother’ once in front of her and her brain did a hard system reset for like 5 entire minutes LMFAO lyney is SO tempted to set up his idiot pining father with a special in-house magic show but lynette is a 100% sure arlecchino would straight up murder him if he tried (though she does agree with her brother in that father should just confess to you, because there’s no way you would ever say anything other than i love you too)

AHHMAKAONDW DW ANON I TOO AM BRAINROTTING HARD ABOUT ARLECCHINO AND I ADORE THIS HAHAHA CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS ONE OF MY FAV TROPES EVER 🤭 ooohhhh im words i cant describe rn…

Going to the House of Hearth and seeing shes always the quiet, solitary, speak to no one kid and your interest is piqued right away!! Yeah she ignores you for a while but you keep following after her so earnestly! On the missions, during playtime, during mealtime when she leaves to eat somewhere by herself but somehow you find her anyway… how can she not start to warm up to you? :( slowly but surely that cold mask of hers starts to melt just a tiny bit… you two are inseparable at that point, she refuses to work with anyone else <3 Arlie is… s-s-soft for you 🥺

AND UGHHHH her not forgetting about you even when she’s a higher-up, and a Harbinger 🤭 everyday, when she’s learning to adjust to her new duties, learning to deal with more incompetent people by the day… Arlie can just come back and rest her head on your shoulder and relax ❤️ (lmao regardless if it’s the former Knave or a random person they will be GONE hehe 😈😈)

AHHHH ANON THE BONUS IS MAKING ME GO CRAZYYY AJAIAIBDW I WOULD ADOPT THOSE BABIES IN A HEARTBEAT, THEY LITERALLY GET SO EXCITED BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS WHEN THEY HEAR THAT YOURE COMING!!! Help I would so be the parent who lets them break rules (within reason of course)!!! We can stay up past your bedtime!! Pillow fights and spooky stories and everything!! We can bake cookies together and playfully fight!! There are so much possibilities omg and Arlie is just like 🧍‍♀️yea there’s no way she would let this happen usually but,, sigh, the kids are literally beaming in happiness and crowding you and you’re laughing and smiling and looking so soft,, so fine, she’ll let it slide. But don’t expect her to join! (She’ll pop up around dinner time ❤️) (you *may* get her to join you for that one last story time, but it’s a very big *maybe*)

THE CHILDREN CALLING YOU MOTHER AHIAIVFW YESSS YESSS like bro you just give off motherly and parental energy to them, you are the parent they never had :( I always hc Arlie’s partner as being hella overprotective of their kids, like they are NOT getting hurt on your watch!! Making them separate meals if the regular food isn’t to their fancy, making sure their clothes don’t have holes in them, tucking them into bed and all :( Please the child would act as if they just said something normal and you’re just smiling really hard and blushing a lil bit and Arlecchino is just like 😐 outwardly but inside her heart is racing a bit ANISJAIAI. Like it just clicks for her that you’re really so wonderful… omfg she loves you so much.

And omg omg I would sooo love to be around baby Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet, they deserve the whole WORLD… you would clap and be surprised when they come home and show you all the new tricks they learned… you’d be their willing member from the audience to join them!! And Freminet, he’s a shy baby so you would just read him stories and help him with the big words :( you’d help him find more mechanical stuff to play around with and fix! And although Arlie doesn’t like when kids cry… the kids love you because they can cry into your arms and you won’t tell a soul 🥺

HAHAHA LYNEY BEING HIS FATHER’S WINGMAN 😭😭 he would so do it but Lynette reminds him every time that his life would be FORFEIT if he ever tried doing such a thing! Lyney is still thinking about it though 🤔, even the younger kids have caught onto Father’s pining for you! Like bro… Arlie, it is so freaking obvious how much you two like each other just kiss already smh (the kids have bets on who will confess first 🤭)

Hii, so my silly thoughts running would the reader in cacoëthes hate their baby? Or like would they try to give the child a better life than what they had to live

GREAT QUESTION ACTUALLY

i wanna say that she wouldn’t completely hate the child, she kinda eventually learns to love her baby during her pregnancy cause a baby is a baby, they're going to be born without hate or any ill intent, but she still holds a particular kind of fear towards them. they’re a part of her but also a part of the very monster that’s taken her to this place. the thoughts of what if they end up exactly like him comes to mind constantly: obsessive, selfish, deceiving. she's so terrified of what her baby would end up as but when the child is finally born (i feel like reiner would be more of a girl dad idk if i said this before), all those worries are washed away. reader can only silently promise to give this sweet child a complete ignorance of what it's truly like living in marley, so in a way, she's really trying to give them a good life compared to hers.

i've said this before in previous asks (maybe lol) but reader does have a large portion in her heart that shares a deep softness towards reiner and no matter how much she denies it and how insanely irrational it is, it's true. don't forget though, a small part of it still resents the hell out of him, it's basically the only sane part she retains but holds back. why? not even she herself knows but it's most likely the hormones making her bounce back and forth in her mind.

reader is mostly trying to protect the child from what the father truly is and her desire to run away again but with her child starts up again. there has to be a better life for them than constantly being under the watchful eye of him and she attempts running again when he offhandedly mentioned about getting her pregnant again once she recuperates. she doesn't get far and he catches her of course, threatening to take away their child from her if she does anything like this again. she can only weep and agree, clutching the baby deeply in her arms and preventing him from even trying to hold their kid. reader actually does eventually let him hold their baby but only if she's nearby and watching him bond with them; she always becomes a nervous wreck during it and reiner rationalizes it as just her motherly instincts so he never pushes/taunt her about it or pressures her to calm down. he really wished that she'll finally give into the idea that she's no longer going to get out of marley after the birth of the first child, but hey, that's what a second child is for 🤪🤪

ATLA vs NATLA: The same woman problem

There was one thing which particularly stood out for me in the live action ATLA (though it is not alone in this phenomenon) and that is how all the female characters seemed like they were reduced to the same basic archetype. We've seen it a lot in the media recently, the cool girl who is slightly wry, incredibly competent, badass, kicks ass, you get the idea. This is very much the modern makeover I felt the female characters in NATLA were given, and it got me thinking about ATLA and how good it was at presenting different types of women.

We had Katara who was fierce and nurturing, Suki who was cool and competent, Yue who was soft and kind, Toph who was brash and confident, Azula who was smart and scary, Ty Lee who was bright and mischievous, Mai who was insoucient and loyal. In the live action it felt like we just got different flavours of the same person.

I didn't take as much issue with the fire nation trio, Azula seemed pretty in character and we didn't see enough of Mai and Ty Lee yet to judge. I hope that they and Toph keep more of their strong personalities in season 2.

But Katara Suki and Yue fell pretty flat for me. A lot of Katara and Suki's personality traits were sacrified in the name of making Sokka less sexist. His learning in this area centres around his relationships with Katara and Suki and, therefore, with this aspect of his character removed it necessitated changing theirs. I don't personally see this as more progressive than the alternative.

Katara A huge part of Katara's personality is removed in the live action. Her nurturing, motherly nature has long been a point of contention in the fandom. But it represented a subset of women who are like that (ask any eldest daughter if Katara resonated with her). In the cartoon Katara and Sokka definitely trade off on being the responsible one of the group. Katara takes care of the basic needs, the emotional needs, and keeping the group together. Sokka takes care of navigating and the safety of the group. I don't know why they couldn't have kept this. Instead, Katara is treated like a child by Sokka (a whole year her senior and apparently all the wiser for it). The way that Katara takes over the role of her mother in the animation is reality for a lot of girls, these things often fall on daughters and I think Katara was a really important character for highlighting this.

Sokka's story focusses heavily on him trying to live up to his dad, so we could easily have had a parallel with Katara trying to live up to her mum. Characters can have more than one motivation, but for Katara we were just given her waterbending. And even here we miss key things through Katara being taught healing rather than discovering it herself, and then rejecting learning healing in favour of learning to fight. Ironically, NATAB has failed to understand the message of the northern water tribe arc - that both healing and fighting are important. And that is Katara: she heals and she destroys. She is a nurturer and a fighter. She is both, and both are important.

Additionally, a lot of Katara's relationship with Aang comes from her concern over him. With this absent, their relationship doesn't feel as strong, Aang instead being the one to teach and help her. Katara's emotional bond with Aang is also used in the live action as a plot point but it falls short of the emotional impact of the original because we have not been shown that bond. Katara's nurturing nature being contrasted with her fighting spirit and prowess is such a wonderful personality contrast which really rounds out her character in the animation and I felt its absence.

Suki I already talked about this briefly in my overall review so I will be short here. I personally didn't like what they did with Suki's character in the live action. In the animation I love how playful Suki is with Sokka. She is very self-assured, she knows what she wants and she goes for it. With Sokka's character changes we don't see this side of Suki with him anymore, she is unsure and un-wordly. Sokka seems instead to take the lead. She may still have the physical strength but the live action Suki feels lacking in emotional and internal strength for me. Added to this is her mother, who further brings out a side of Suki that isn't in the animation and I don't particularly identify with her character. I honestly can't quite explain my issue with other than it gave me an off feeling and the ick. I feel like I've seen this character so many times before, whereas Suki in the animation felt really refreshing.

Yue This is where we see the biggest departure from the animation. It's like they were so scared to make a main female character anything other than badass (in a very specific definition of badass). Every other female character I mentioned at the beginning can fight, and can fight well. Yue is the only main female character in the original who cannot, who doesn't even bend, and I think that's really important. It's important that Yue uses words instead of fighting, it's important that she does this despite the difficulties she faces due to her place in the world as a woman.

I was confused about why they would keep the Northern Water Tribe's tradition of women not being allowed to fight but not also keep the patriarchal governing system in place. Making Yue a bender and a priestess takes away the whole point of her original sacrifice, which is that you don't have to be physically strong or an amazing martial artist or bender to make a difference. It's Yue's heart which matters. Apart from the Avatar, Yue is arguably the most important character in the whole of the story. She is a soft girl, she is a kind girl, she is a girl who hasn't really been given much of a voice, she is a girl who has had her life very much decided for her. And she saves the moon. She saves waterbending. She does that. Only she could do that. To me Yue is an important parallel for both Aang and also Ozai (and to a lesser extent Zuko and Azula). She is the example Aang must follow, her destiny was to save the moon as Aang's destiny was to be the Avatar. These things are decided, how they approach them is up to the individual. With Ozai, Yue is his foil as a good leader. Unlike Ozai she never held the power of leadership, but she did assume the responsibility. She sacrificed herself for her people, Ozai sacrificed his people for his power.

The way they characterise Yue in NATLA just felt like too much of a departure from the original for me. They even make fun of the original when Yue says that she isn't really like her princess act (her act being how Yue is in the animation). Absolutely no hate to the live action actress as she was just acting how she was written and directed (although for me personally I also did not get any Yue vibes from her in terms of looks), but that Yue was far closer in personality to Katara and Suki (and even Sokka) than the animation Yue was. It's ok to have different types of female characters, and I hate how Hollywood has created this homogenised female archetype that is everywhere now.

I will end this on saying this is my personal opinion, a lot of this is based on feelings I had while watching it rather than concrete thoughts so obviously many people will disagree with what I have said, which is totally fine! I did find the characters to be a bit flat, I don't think there's anything wrong with making characters a bit more individual and vibrant even in something which is supposed to be "realistic". And once again I feel like the writing of female characters in particular has been let down. I think we sacrificed elements of the girls personalities in order to make them all extremely competent (apart from Suki who was too competent so they pulled her back towards the middle lol). As I've said before, much of this might have been solved by having a 10 or 12 episode run which allows for more character development and less plot. I think studios need to seriously think about whether this format serves the stories they are trying to tell.
