oh my god i love them

[kelperings]

kelper i heard you wanted kmhn related headcanons. this is kind of that but also its own thing

looks you dead in the eyes. hajime hinata dog coded. do you hear me. do you he’s. he’s a dog he’s puppy dog he *pointing* please do you hear me that’s dogy that’s a DOG th

he’s a german shepherd to me. he’s fiercely loyal to those he cares about, protective. if you come for his family he will attack without remorse or regret, with a booming bark and and sizable bite force, but when he cares about you he is nothing but kind and gentle, soft fur and worried nuzzling. intimidating and rightfully so but a big sweetheart deep down

there’s a police dog metaphor with izuru somewhere— his own loyalty to a corrupt institution used against him, training the soul and love out of him until he’s nothing but a tool, a weapon that immediately and inevitably falls into the wrong hands

but he recovers and postgame he’s a lot like a rescue, cautious and distrusting of new things but still so so sweet and full of love and loyal underneath it all. he may lash out sometimes or be afraid of seemingly random things but he’s getting better and finding happiness and he’s so so overjoyed to be loved and alive.

his classmates are his pack. they’re his family, and he’d do anything for them. he works to keep them fed and safe and healthy, and if he sees you as a threat to them you best believe he’s getting between you, growling and snarling to stay back, sharp teeth bared and ready to defend them.

he wants to be helpful. he does things for people and brings things to people in an effort to make them happy, works very hard to contribute to his pack responsibilities. he needs to help, he needs to be useful.

he craves praise and recognition from others, and gets giddy when he receives it. he relishes appreciation and nothing makes him happier than knowing he’s good, he’s doing a good job, he’s being good, he’s a good boy. he needs to be told he’s good

whenever he’s sick or injured he gets quiet, reserved. he’ll go off somewhere quiet on his own for a bit to get better, and he’s hesitant to tell anyone. he won’t stop anyone from taking care of him, but he’ll insist they don’t have to, and he won’t ask for help unless it’s an emergency.

when he plays he’s energetic, all excited barks and full-body wiggles. zoomies. sometimes he plays a little too rough and someone gets hurt but he always stops afterwards, checking in on them and apologizing and making sure they’re okay before play resumes

to get some komahiners in here he cuddles like a dog too. he likes to rest his head on nagito’s thighs, or his shoulders. sometimes he’ll just walk up to nagito and press himself into his side (doggy hug), and of COURSE he loves when nagito runs his hands through his hair being petted is a universal dog joy

i’m so insane about this. hajime is a DOG do you understand. he’s. he’s a DOG that’s a fkcuhing DOGGGGG he’s a dog can ANYBODY hear me for the love of god hello

I HEAR YOU!!!! I HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR!!!

firm believer in german shepherd hajime hinata i believe that german shepherd hajime hinata and fang hajime hinata are one. same person. its all hajime hinata at the end of the day. the world is hajime hinata.

i have a feeling he’s super uptight after noticing how often he does it, in his classic hajime hinata wayHEY GUYS HOW MANY TIMES CAN I SAY THE NAME HAJIME HINATA IN ONE POST LETS FIND OUT.

but anyways i actually fw this SO INCREDIBLY HARD ILOVE IT. THANK YOU MARZI PLEASE MAKE A MASTERLIST OF YOUR HCS I WILL GLADLY DRAW ANY OF THEM AT WILL. UR HCS GIVE ME LIFE.

[literallyjusttoa]

Took a lil break from drawing bc I unexpectedly got busy, but here's some doodles of a fun world where Apollo just stuck with the first thing he was the god of (shepherding) and lived on Delos with his mom instead of ascending to Olympus. Because Apollo's life would've been so much happier if he got to live with his mom as an immortal farmer. He deserves this.

[mimikabii]

i forgot about the splatfest for the first time in my life because of pikmin 4 help

[purplelupins]

I was so cute when I thought I was writing dark!Father Paul/Monsignour Pruitt in Lamb…now as I’m writing The Red Sky of a Shepherds Warning I’m laughing maniacally because y’all are in for some proper dark!Father Paul. It makes more sense for this story. Plus why the hell not

[lesbians4armand]

just spent over an hour frantically googling and looking through art auction sites, muesum pages in french and several wikipedia articles to try and find out how much adoration of the shepherds with a donor is worth in todays money. and got nothing. all for a fanfiction maybe 500 people might see if im lucky. im nothing if not thorough

[starki1d]

I'm still expanding on this but if somebody else wants to throw their hat in the ring, the more the merrier

Shepherd's daughter hcs

only child, expected to follow in daddy's footsteps

enters the military at 18

Shepherd's not above pulling strings (has done it all your life 💀) and gets you into the shadow company

You and Graves are an item, it's expected of you to be with him (it's giving me young love, old money vibes)

And Graves is great and all but the Las Almas mission and you meet Ghost and Soap, and LV 👀

Graves treats you like a pet of sorts and orders you to stay away from them, using the old ✨'m not just your fiancé, I'm your commander✨️

being the brat you are, you sneak in a few minutes with either of them whenever your teams are working together

Still expanding on this, might just make it Ale centered instead of Ghost

I LOVE THIS !! AND I CAN DEF PICTURE SHEPARD'S OLD ASS BEING LIKE THAT LMAO

YOU SHOULD WRITE A FIC OR DRABBLES ABOUT THIS !!

[dairylamb]

What does wool feel like during phantom shifts (if you get them)?

-thatonesalamandertherian

hii!! it feels like a constant itch i need to rub against something - not with my hooves of course, but against a fence post in a paddock! i have experienced it only a few times but yeah it’s not the most comfortable feeling but it is affirming.

thank you for the ask!!!!

[sabines-wrens]

i've known howler for like two hours and i would die for him no hesitation

[ughigottaheadache]

Just wanna say as a carer who's always related to tommy shepherd, your posts made me click that he's a carer like me (which made me tear up a little ngl)

It is always wonderful to see a reflection of ourselves in heroes, isn’t it?

I’m glad my posts helped that click haha! Honestly I feel Tommy being a carer for Martin is such a perfect way of showing us his incredible capacity for kindness. Plus, I doubt many other people in universe would even want to look after him, being a wielder of dangerous magics, forgetting and remembering, on a cycle, of what he can do.

[agnesandhilda]

"soft wet pussy" okay but where's my love for hairy gaping cunts

[myketheartista]

thoughts on docsuma? :)

it’s alright tbh, i only enjoy some (hermitcraft) ships like this one when my friends are into them but im pretty removed from the docsuma scene in general aside from dbhc. the individual characters are silly and the chemistry is entertaining, but i don’t watch either of them on my own time or actively think abt the ship. i simply like them to support my friends.

WiP Wednesday

(extremely late, like at least half a year lmao oops)

Thankies for continuing to include me in y'all's tags: @socially-awkward-skeleton @josephslittledeputy @aceghosts @adelaidedrubman @shallow-gravy @derelictheretic

From Feel Good Drag ('The Boys' AU)

It feels like filler but I promise its not. I needed to post this before the bits I really wanna delve into for plot reasons.

"Can't bribe me with money, can't shower me with shame. Another killer from a broken home, until you come on me with manic fame. You wanna know about it? Well I'ma be fucking with you every time. Story broken, you're behind. Yeah, when you ask about it? You can rest assured I'll give you my best side. Seems we all have friends to find.” - Avenged Sevenfold, “Natural Born Killer”

“So, I’m sensing you’re havin’ some doubts. About me.” Alex decides to just say it, if she lets him sit and stew in his own thoughts that might lead to paranoia, and that may not be good for her. She’s noticed Butcher’s gotten quieter, and she’s caught him looking at her like she’s a puzzle to be solved, like she’s not what she seems.

‘Fair play to him, really. His instincts are very good.’

“That right?” Butcher asks, looking up and tipping his head against the wall, watching her from the opposite side of the room. Alex snorts an amused note and rolls her eyes.

“What’s on your mind? Think I’m workin for the other team?” Alex asks, unfolding her legs from underneath her and stretching, leaning back on her hands in the second bed. Alex was not about to live like someone on the run, so she didn’t really mind putting them up somewhere hospitable.

“D’you trust easy?” He asks her bluntly, and her lips twist up in a lopsided smirk.

“Oh God, no. But my inquiring mind wants to know. Maybe I can dispel some of your fears?” Alex offers, knowing if they have any chance at all of dethroning Homelander and Vought, they need to be on the same page and able to trust each other enough to not be preoccupied thinking about a betrayal. Alex is keenly aware of the dangers that come with seeds of distrust.

Butcher scoffs.

“Yer a ghost, love.” He tells her empathetically, as if trying to drive the point home with that single vague sentence. Alex tips her chin and raises her brows, inviting him to elaborate.

‘Humor me.’

“All yer official documents say Alex Shepherd died a U.S. Marshall, back in ‘99. But tha legend of ‘er haunts tha biochemical unda’ground. And Alice Sterling’s too borin’ ta be tha real you. ‘ow on Earth can I trust ya?” Butcher asks her, tone well controlled as he casts her a look that says he knows she’s too smart not to understand where he’s coming from.

“You did your homework. Very thoroughly. I’m impressed.” Alex praises, genuinely taken aback that Butcher had managed to find enough about her to reach the correct conclusion so quickly. She and Wesker had crafted her alias(es) (and death) very well, but Alex is attached to her identity – it was just paperwork to her, erasing her trail.

“But all of that’s just proof of how good I am at what I do. And we know that’s why you reached out. You needed a proven professional.” Alex replies, expression relaxing into an easier little smile, resting her head on her right shoulder.

Butcher makes a grumbling noise that sounds annoyed – perhaps he’d say ‘chuffed’, in the negative sense – but he doesn’t seem angry. Alex finds his moods and their sudden shifts fascinating. He’s such a stark contrast to Wesker’s eerie controlled calm she’s so used to.

“However, if you’re as thorough as I think you are, you already know I’m very reliable – its hard to keep clients in my business if you fuck them over. I didn’t only do my husband’s dirty work.” Alex reminds knowingly; she is well aware of her reputation in her professional circles – she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t proud of her ability to juggle Wesker’s daunting/dangerous requests and her own independent clients during their busiest years.

Butcher watches her thoughtfully, his expression largely remaining the same, save for a few twitching muscles in his neck and jaw.

“Yer good at that.” Butcher tells her with a knowing little smile, pointing in her direction.

“And I wasn’t even trying.” Alex replies, taking a little joy in the situation – while counterproductive, a little naughty part of her always enjoys when she makes people nervous/wary/uncomfortable.

“You know more about me than I know about you; surely that’s somewhat comforting?” Alex adds, filling in Butcher’s silence.

“Ya ‘avent asked.” Butcher shrugs her off, leaning back against the wall.

“Would you be honest if I did?”

“Depends.” He shrugs.

Alex smiles – that answer, at least, was honest.

“I’m not gonna put you on the spot, don’t worry. People tend to get comfortable tellin’ me weird shit. You’ll let me know eventually.” Alex tells him, amused by the quick confused expression on Butcher’s face.

‘Occasionally, dear heart, all you can do is be patient. So you must be patient.’ Wesker’s voice reminds Alex, from some distant, private corner of her mind.
