Another idea I would love to see you write (and it doesn't have to be NSFW if it makes you uncomfortable) is Malarkey, Babe, Chuck, Shifty, Winters (and anyone else you want to write) reactions to seeing all the various scars you received during the war for the first time. The scars can be wherever on the body you want to put them and the injuries that caused them can be different for each guy if you want; I will leave that to your creativity and discretion. I would just find it interesting to see how you think they'd react bc, while injuries during the war became probably a daily occurrence for the men that they've grown accustomed to, you're technically not a man and how could you have gotten hurt?

ugh I absolutely love this request it’s so creative, thank you sm!! I hope it’s what you were picturing, if not feel free to request another :) i’m comfortable writing NSFW but for this request I haven’t gone too crazy, but there is some mentions of potential smut? I can also understand how the topic of scars should be a TW- but no mentions of any self inflicted scars. Easy Boys reaction to seeing your scars:

Dick Winters:

I think he’d probably notice the small, circular scar on the back of your lower hip during seggsy time.

he wouldn’t point it out, seeing as that seemed rude and a bit off putting mid activity- especially seeing as it was one of the first times the two of you sleep together.

it’s afterwards that you’re cuddling when his hand travels down, “how did you get this?”

“oh, that scar?” You’d begin to laugh, leaving him a little confused. “Accidental cigarette burn from a guy I was treating in Normandy.”

Dick is a little confused, you seem so amused so he’s following along with a smile but it’s the most confusing thing ever.

what actually happened is pretty lighthearted, you were treating a wounded guy in the infirmary in Normandy, and well, his eyes were bandaged up and accidentally mistook you for the ash tray?

a pretty funny story, it burnt at the time, but you don’t mind the small scar, in fact it’s even amusing to you. Dick doesn’t notice it often, but when he remembers the story you told him he’d smile every single time he’d see it again.

Babe Heffron:

In Austria you’re wearing your summer uniform/ clothes, things are more relaxed, and so when your top falls down your collarbone the slightest bit, you don’t think anything of it.

“Wha- hey! How’d you get that?!” That was until a certain Babe Heffron chimed up, sounding overwhelmingly concerned, eyes focused on your upper chest.

“What?” At first you’d cover it up, unconsciously before even realising what he’d seen.

he’d hurry over, taking a peak to sigh with relief when he realised it was an older scar.

“Babe.” You’d grumble, pulling your top further up out of embarrassment.

“Oh, hey- no, don’t be upset, I was just worried thas all. It’s not everyday I see a lady with a scar, y’know.” His hand would smooth down your arm, worried he’d offended you, but he’s so sweet, how could you ever be upset at Babe?

“It’s from Bastogne, right?” Unlike the other men (apart from Gene) Babe would probably recognise where it was from.

“The bombing at the church, yeah.”

“I like it, looks cool.” He’d be so honest and genuine, at first I think you’d be a little shy, but Babe finds it so unique, and well- it makes you you.

the major downfall however is that you obviously got hurt, resulting in this scar. He can’t bare the idea of you hurt, it sends a chill through to his bone.

Chuck Grant:

Chuck is no stranger to scars especially after the war, so when he notices you’ve got a couple littered around your leg he doesn’t point them out due to knowing how sensitive that topic can be.

theyre white and faded now, only small, but I feel like Chuck would probably recognise they’re from Bastogne- like he’s seen the wounds the splintered trees cause, he figured it would be something like that.

in reality they were a present from Haguenau. An exploded building left your leg semi trapped, luckily not broke, but it hurt like a bitch and left you with the constant reminder of the pain.

You’d tell him one day after a shower, when you caught him looking at them. “I know they’re ugly.” You’d wince, conscious.

“Ugly? No, c’mere, babe.” He’d pull you into his lap, hand on your thigh as he kisses you so tenderly.

“Nothin’ about you could ever be ugly, doll.” Ugh he’d be sooo sweet and kind, reassuring you in the best way possible whilst accidentally seducing you.

Shifty Powers:

Too cute omg, he wouldn’t even really notice too much, I mean everybody has scars. You’d lay and night and he’d caress your skin, not caring if there was a scar or two littered around your shoulder.

“How’d ya’ get this?” He’d ask softly when the two of you were both falling asleep.

“Nothin’ exciting, I was playing around in the water when we were in Austria and caught my shoulder on the pier gettin’ out the water. I wish it was a better story.”

Shifty would find it so amusing because only you would wish you had a better story to tell about a scar. The rest on your body are from your childhood, Shifty would love hearing the stories that come along with each scar.

Eugene Roe:

Unlike some of the men I think Gene would’ve actually been there when you got injured.

you’re a woman, part of the medic team, a field nurse really which is attached to easy company, so you’re close to the men, especially Gene, throughout the war.

Gene would still remember vividly the day you got hit, how he failed to protect you, cover you. A sniper came out of nowhere, catching you in the shoulder. Gene can only imagine the bullet was meant for him and not you.

He’s the one that patched you up to the best of his abilities, it’s one thing treating a man, but to be treating a girl? Especially one he liked- well his hands were shaking and he was reassuring you non stop.

the scar left was only small, luckily there was no complications and you got lucky and could get back to work real quick.

Every time Eugene notices the scar it reminds him of what happened to you. At first he wouldn’t talk about it. Then, slowly you get it out of him and he’s so soft with you.

“I just don’t know what I woulda’ done.” He’d sigh, burrowing his face in your neck/ chest pressing kisses to your skin.

“Well you don’t have to think that, cos I’m still here with you now, Gene.”

Don Malarkey:

Don would actually notice the fresh scar on leg during Haguenau when you were rolling your socks up, he gets a peak at the flesh on your calf.

“Woah, that looks nasty, how’d you get that?” He comes and sits behind you, waiting for you to turn around.

“Fuckin’ tripped and fell, Malark. Out of everything that coulda happened to me I got this from falling over.”

Malark is more concerned about your wellbeing but he’d be lying if he said he didn’t break a smile.

“That’s just your luck.” He’d smile, rubbing your leg gently to check if it hurt. “You’re ok now though? So you don’t need carrying around everywhere?”

“I wouldn’t object to that…”

No but seriously, Don is a massive sweetheart, he probably would carry you around Austria just for the fun of it, he still blames it on your ‘cut leg’ that he needs to do that.

in reality he’s just flirting with you and knows it’s super easy for you to kiss him whilst he’s holding you like that.

Lewis Nixon:

“What’d you do?” He’d ask as soon as he saw it, running his hand back against your hair, revealing a kinda small scar placed near your hairline.

it’s early in the morning, the two of you are lounging in bed with a cup of tea or coffee, preparing to have a lazy day.

“Oh, it’s from running Currahee, I face-palmed the floor.”

“Ouch, what did Sobel say?”

“thank god he wasn’t there to see it. I got a matching one on my knee too, from the same fall.” You’d pull out your bare leg from the covers and he’d purposefully slide his hand up your thigh, then over the scar on your knee.

“Nice. Battle scars.” He smirked, teasing and pulling your leg over his to give him a cuddle.

[salty-an-disco]

it's honestly so insane how much of an impact I had on this fandom kamskksmdmdm

Like. wtf do you mean I'm not just a shadow moving about and my words actually have an effect on the space I inhabit????

[getreadytosmash]

In regards to the difference between "mutants" and "mutates", often I classify them as this;

Mutants: Born with powers, have a genetic marking that means they WILL get powers at some stage

Mutates: Obtained or given powers by any new or external means

So Hulk, Jen, Samuel, Red, Betty, Rick, Samson and Emil are all classed as mutates due to not previously having powers up until they obtained them in some way while Skaar, Hiro, Lyra and Gwen would be classed as mutants since they're second generation mutates/were born with their powers.

Carmillla is a Shifty Case due to the fact that she was born before Bruce was mutated and as a genetically engineered weapon, it's up to debate over whether or not she would have powers forming if it weren't for Monica playing with her genes. Especially when you consider the fact that Carmilla was only supposed to be immune to most warfare rather than being able to absorb it and shoot it back out.

Hii :3

Do you have any headcanons for misfits if they were in steampunk/fantasy au?

I love your headcanons so much <3

Hi anon! Thank you sooo much, you don’t know how happy it makes me that people actually like my stuff LOL

Fantasy time? Fantasy time. Imagine your standard DND world with steampunk technology. Let’s see…

- Lenore is a human artificer. And in this universe we can actually KEEP her family’s influence with the railroad.

- Her family’s trains and steam powered machinery are more than just that- they use magical components to be more effective and better than competition.

- Lenore and Theo were still very musically gifted here. Can’t take away that sibling bond

- maybe in this universe Theo died under more mysterious/foul play circumstances? Giving Lenore a motive to go and form a party and all that

- maybe Lenore was present and got injured/lost consciousness and can’t remember what occurred that day. got her hip injury from it

- then her father keeps her locked inside not only to protect her from whoever did this to her and Theo, but because with her hip now permanently injured he doesn’t really see her as useful anymore (asshole)

- Speaking of which, she still sets fire to the mansion and ditches at night.

- Steals a prototype of a very fancy gun that her father was planning to make to her sold. Magic, of course.

- Also still resumes the identity of the fictional Leo Vandernacht.

- She fled on horseback from the house and to a small town. This is where the story of the party begins

- Lenore has a kinda shitty cane right now, forced to use a large stick until she can actually find a store that has canes.

- She comes across a small crowd watching a bard perform. A tall, elvan man using illusion magic to entertain while also somehow playing a floating lute without touching it.

- As she stops to peer over, she feels a hand poke at her “cane” with a clicking tongue sound

- “Goodness, how is this supposed to support you at all?”

- Lenore sees- the same man. Turns out he has his illusionary self performing while he goes around to loot the crowd for anything that looks valuable. A very shifty bard indeed.

- This is how Lenore meets Duke, an elf bard that uses his charisma and many skills to draw crowds and hopefully people careless enough to leave valuables unattended.

- oh speaking of Duke. So I can keep his French. French = Elvish here. Let’s pretend.

- Lenore makes a lot of jabs at him for what he does, but he insists that the performing is his main thing and that’s what he loves. He only does the ‘look around for things to take’ deal in richer areas where they won’t notice losing a few things. Think like…a better Robin Hood.

- He gives her exactly 5 gold pieces and tells her to get an actual cane. After some more banter and light hearted jabs, he just decides to go with her. They’re fast friends.

- Lenore ends up getting a nice cane that supports her hip far better than an oversized stick could ever do. She vaguely explains her circumstances in half truths to Duke, who then decides to take her to the tavern.

- The walk between the store and the tavern is where they meet Pluto…because he tries to pickpocket Duke.

- Duke doesn’t even seem phased. He just shakes his head in fake disappointment, lifting Pluto up by the scruff of his cape.

“Again, mon minou? How many times must we go through this?”

- turns out they know each other. Pluto is a human rogue who has lived underneath this town his whole life, using theft to barely scrape by. He tried to rob Duke once and now it’s like a little game. Duke finds it amusing, and Pluto honestly keeps trying just to see him again.

- Now the three are a trio!! Lenore keeps jabbing at them both for being thieves, even revealing that she stole most of the items on her person as well.

- Pluto and Duke doing the same thing for different reasons: listen. Pluto using theft to survive, barely holding on. Duke doing it to make a statement, someone who has plenty but takes anyway to very slowly make an influence on the world both through performance and helping others. Nice little “doing the same thing for very different reasons” thing.

- Tavern time. They meet an adorable Eladrin girl who is working there as a waitress named Morella (Paladin of course). She’s a student in town and this is her part time job.

- They also meet Berenice and Eulalie here. Berenice is a tiefling fighter, Eulalie an aasimar sorcerer. They’re actually part of the local adventurers guild and are celebrating a recent victory in which they took back a village from a raid.

- Lenore takes interest in the guild, which leads to them all sitting together with Morella frequently coming by to chat.

- Oh yeah Pluto definitely has met them before too. He made eye contact once with Eulalie while he was sitting on a roof and he nearly fell off.

- He’s seen Berenice underground. He doesn’t know what she does, especially watching her go between the dangerous underground and to the surface, but he watches her wrap her bleeding knuckles with concern.

- This is the start of something new for her, something she can tell is worthwhile. All of the people she’s met since coming to town have already started to mean something special to her.

I did WAY more than I expected i’m so sorry anon-

Fixing Yaz (Dr Who): Yasmin Khan - companion, police officer, lovelorn piner. Most criminal error in Chibnall era was the weird work status of Yas. Bad writing: but what if after the Tim Shaw story in her first episode, she asked for a sabbatical from the police force? Seeing an alien and a civilian death on the same night would take it out of anyone. Headcanon like this explains why when she had guns pointed her she never used her power as a police officer - and also why she never arrested folks like that shifty American fella. The sabbatical was to officially start after the Tim Shaw paperwork was due and all that. But then she ended up in space with The Doctor - and on her return, she officially began without telling anyone as they didn't need to know. She was now a TARDIS traveler on a real sabbatical in space and time. EDIT: Or simply she didn't arrest people as she would need to explain to the police who The Doctor was, why she was there etc Too much paperwork! Better to tip off her cop colleagues anonymously.

Omg I need your headcannons

Please share

These are very vague because I don't have a lot to go on, but if I think of more I'll post them.

He had a brother and sister. I'm leaning towards Uta being the youngest for reasons I'll talk about below, but yknow what would be interesting? If one of his siblings were a TWIN. It'd add another layer to his fear of abandonment and being left behind.

Since he's powerful even by ghoul standards, I wouldn't be surprised if Uta's family were wiped out in a planned extermination bust. Perhaps Uta managed to escape on his own or had help from another ghoul, but I can't imagine his mum and dad being taken out individually by chance by one or two investigators. It's not outside the realms of possibility, but they created UTA, so I think catching both parents off guard when they're with their kids is the best way to go about it.

I think he would've lost his family at a very young age, before his teens. I don't think he had a lot of stability in regards to a family life.

Throwing this out there: what if Itori and Yomo are "stand-ins" for the brother and sister he lost? There's an angle I've never heard before.

Now for some general ghoul headcanons about family etc.

I think it's extremely normal for ghouls to have lots of kids. Considering the short shelf-life they tend to have, parents want to ensure their kids have a chance of survival should they become orphans. One way of increasing their chances is to make sure there are multiple kids to look out for each other.

It's a benefit to have kids a few years apart. That way the parents can focus on teaching one kid at a time how to be a ghoul and survive, instead of dealing with multiple toddlers. there's also the plus that the eldest will be able to watch over the younger kids whilst food is acquired.

Only-child ghouls are indicators of a cushy life! Think Shuu, Hinami (until...yeah). Not always a hard and fast rule (see:Eto), but there's a ghoul mindset of strength in numbers. If a couple only has one kid by choice, it's probably because they're not concerned about their longevity being challenged. Only-child ghouls have parents that are stable AND tough.

When a ghoul mentions that they "used" to have siblings, in 99% of situations the siblings they lost were older. Like in a lot of of human cultures, emphasis is on looking after the younger ones. It's a given amongst ghouls that it's the older siblings that will sacrifice their life.

BUT! Because of this, there's a lot of stigma (and suspicion) surrounding situations where the OLDER sibling is the one to survive. It's usually perceived as a weakness, or something shifty has gone on, since the "protect the youngest" is so ingrained in ghoul customs and society. Due to this, some ghouls will lie and say it's their OLDER brother or sister who died.

More people saw my Freddy Riley posts than I thought they would so I thought I'd throw some non-selfship stuff out there for fellow Freddy fans :D I eat sleep and breathe Inverse Mercury now and I wish they weren't so vague with essence lore sometimes cause I want to know everything about him... I have some headcanons of my own that I'll put under the cut :3 And if anyone has ideas of their own or something they disagree with I'm very curious to know!! These are very loose ideas and I think I could be easily swayed on some things

💠 I got the idea stuck in my head that he shares some loose similarities to Shang Tsung from MK1, so in my mind now I feel like Inverse Mercury had a similar upbringing. Freddy wasn't raised in a particularly wealthy part of the realm, but very early on he realized how to skillfully wield his greatest weapon– his words– to his advantage. Much like one of his deductions in the game says, he needs to "seem" hard-working, because those are the kind of people that others put their trust in. And as Shang-Tsung is described in his wiki, he is "Too lazy for hard labor and too shifty for honest work". I think Freddy, growing up, valued his own wits above all else, and thought he was too good for the life he had. He strived to be more, but at the time he had to settle with being this snake oil salesman.

💠 Because of how vague the lore is presented I can't tell if Inverse Mercury is still technically related to the law and acts as an attorney? If this is the case then I imagine he used a lot of his downtime burying his nose in books, having an insatiable thirst for knowledge because he knew his intelligence would be a great shortcut into achieving a lot of his goals. And also maybe he studied law in particular to be able to find loopholes to protect himself from getting into legal trouble LOL

💠 Now I don't really know how he came into a position of power, to the point where he had people groveling at his feet like in the trailer. In Shang Tsung's case he got his power from a 'mysterious' benefactor (who turns out to be an alternate version of himself), which I don't think is likely to happen in Freddy's case. For now I just choose to believe the nature of his job and his passion for reading brought him to the ancient books that he familiarized himself with, and used to his advantage. I also think he was probably more well off than Shang Tsung was at the very least, so he probably had easier access to these powerful texts.

💠 Finally the dynamic that Freddy has with Eli in this essence reminds me a lot of the dynamic between Shang Tsung and Syzoth (assuming I interpreted the essence lore correctly). In summary (also referenced from the wiki), Shang Tsung once asked to study Syzoth for his unique ability, and when he refused, Shang Tsung threatened his family– effectively manipulating Syzoth into working for him. Eli similarly seems to have been deceived or manipulated in some way, and we know something like this would definitely not be below Freddy Riley (as much as I love that man).

These are all the ideas I have so far 🫠 I'm so normal about Inverse Mercury I promise (this hasn't even touched on how I wish I could insert my sona into the narrative, but this was supposed to be Freddy Riley centric because I felt bad posting so much about the two when I also just want to show my appreciation for him alone. I did have a little oneshot for them that I wanted to write, but I thought maybe I'd turn it into an x reader despite the very little demand I see for stuff like that because I wonder if maybe people would prefer that instead JDNDJD who knows... )

[lovelyd0gg]

Hi! Can I request some headcannons for shifty powers? I really love your account btw💗

Hi darling! Ahhhh thank you so much for that compliment<33 I'd love to do a shifty headcanon! Thanks for the request! (Same thing with Harry Welsh, I don't really know his personality well but I'll try my best!) Enjoy<3

Shifty's reaction to you buying him his favorite gift for his birthday!

Warning: PURE FLUFF, lovey dovey<33

𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬.

•Shifty's birthday was right around the corner and you knew exactly what you wanted to give him for his birthday.

•(Now this isn't canon but I feel like he absolutely loves Transformers but never admits it to people he doesn't know well.)

•So you went to the mall and saw a really big transformer figurine that you knew he'd love.

•So you bought it! It was a pretty big gift so it was gonna take some time to wrap it but eventually you got it!

•You hid it away and soon enough, his birthday rolled in!

•You woke him up excitedly since you got everything ready beforehand!

•You gave him the gift and his eyes widened slightly. You could tell that on the outside, he was being silent and quietly thanking you.

•But on the inside, he was squealing in happiness.

•When he opened it (gently, because I have a feeling his hands are soft instead of rough) he saw the transformer box and he immediately had to pause opening the gift to process what you got him.

•It took him 5 minutes to just stare at the transformer because he was so shocked😭

•He immediately started to hug you and thank you multiple times.

•This was the first time you saw him acting like this, he was usually introverted and quiet so this was very interesting!

•By the end of the day, he was cuddling with you (the transformer standing on your night stand, watching the both of you cuddle.

•It was weird, yeah, but you wanted to make him happy, and you definitely did<3

[bellewintersroe]

Would you please write a headcanon for Malarkey, Babe, Chuck, Shifty, Liebgott, Winters (and anyone else you'd like to do) about them seeing you dressed "like a girl" for the first time. I mean all pin up looking and everything (tastefully of course though). Maybe you had to wear army fatigues just like the rest of the guys (and of course no makeup or ability to do your hair or wash everyday) and that's the only way they've really ever seen you. But you finally get the chance to really dress up for once (you're a girly girl). I'd love to know what you see their reactions being.

Oooooo being a girly girl myself I LOVE this concept!! Easy Boys x Reader - how they react to you dressed up.

Don Malarkey:

Normally Don would just muck around with you, he’d think you’re beautiful either way but he feels comfortable with you to joke around like he would similar to how he is with the guys.

so when you walk into that pub one day all dressed up like one of those pin up girls he’d seen in the magazines? Good lord-

Eyes pop out of his head fr.

double takes- cos he’s so mf stunned like- it ignites something deep inside of his body and every single inch of his body is on fire.

I feel like he’d sorta look at you differently when you’re having a conversation, like he’d be smiling and blushing- I think he’d be stammering, maybe he couldn’t hold eye contact as often?

like he’d suddenly stop throwing jokes in your direction and actually engages in a more quieter and normal? Conversation. Like you’d probably be so confused until one of your friends tells you why you’re so nervous.

unlike the other guys, I don’t think he’d make a move, not that night anyway. He’d probably be too nervous. I think after that he’d be a little more nervous around you, maybe he’d be fearful some other guy has swooped you up before he could??? Babe Heffron:

I feel like Babes reaction would depend on if he’s had a few to drink or not. But let’s say he’s sober?? We’ll set the scene in Austria, you finally have access to pretty clothes and makeup again- which you missed so dearly throughout the war.

slowly you’re doing yourself up again, getting used to being around the men all dressed up- I think it would be super nerve wracking.

Ofc all the men notice cos their jaws are on the floor, but Babe’s mind is lost. He knows that he feels the strongest out of all of these guys, you took such good care of him in Bastogne and his soft spot for you becomes well- a big fat crush that he can no longer hide.

He takes some hyping up from Ramirez and whoever else before he scurries up besides you, walking as smoothly at he can, looking all handsome in his uniform.

“Hey y/n.”

“oh hey, Babe!”

“you look real pretty y’know.”

then it would be your turn to be a blushing mess, he’s grinning towards you with a sparkle in his eyes, and although he’s nervous the genuine desire and longing for you is obvious.

“Thank you, Babe! You look real good in your uniform too.” He doesn’t expect you to throw a compliment back so for a second he’s turned away from you with a shit eating grin on his face.

“Yeah well, ya’ hair looks real nice too.” The boys deffo told him to compliment your hair and your eyes- and that’s what script he sticks to at first before growing enough confidence to genuinely compliment everywhere else on your face (and body??)

Ur bum looks real good in the dress you were, and if Babe thought you were beautiful in your army fatigues, oh my goddddddd-

Babes just a sucker, he often looks stunned and in awe of you- because that’s what he would be, real complimentary to the point you have no option but to just kiss him.

plus at the end of the night when you two have spent some time together, he loves to twist his finger through the loosened curls in your hair.

Chuck Grant:

Probs one of the men that giggles and woops at you when you walk into the small pub the troops have taken over in Holland.

ofc it’s all fun and games they’re ur friends and by no means are objectifying you.

but anyway Chuck is all amused at first, but his smile slowly fades when he feels the fluttering of his heart and stomach and oh fuck- he’s in love with you.

he knew it before, but now seeing the way all these men are looking at you in your pretty dress with your hair and makeup all done- noooo, he has to make you his there and then.

“Later, suckers.” He’d take a last swig of his drink before carrying it in his hand, sliding away from the table and approaching you. At first he’s oozing with confidence, hyped up from his cheering friends, but when he actually gets close and sees your red painted lips smiling up to him he’s a gonner.

“Uh hey… can I sit?” He awkwardly spokes, it’s a little funny but you’d find him so cute and ofc he’s fucking handsome asf so you oblige.

Accidentally stares in awe when you’re topping your lipstick up.

“You want some?” You’d tease and his lips would pull into a charming smile. “Yeah, but not from the stick.”

oooo the flirtation would be on the second he gets a little buzzed from the alcohol, you’re clearly flirting back and not to sound rude because it’s obviously consensual- but Grant can’t keep his hands to himself.

seriously he’s never seen your body so…. Tight? Like your outfit is still modest but hugging you in all the right places, if you move onto his lap at some point in the night he’ll probs get a boner.

deffo goes back to his bed that night with a smirk and red lipstick stains everywhere.

Shifty Powers:

Ugh shifty, shifty, shifty, where do I start?

yeah he’s super respectful and sweet, we all know that, but he deffo has a smart side to him. Let me explain.

when you walk into that ‘pub’ in Austria, all dolled up, he’s smirking and hiding behind his cup, eyes roaming a little too far down your body than he intends to.

he’s love struck, like he already knew you were the most beautiful thing on this planet, but now you’re a god damn Angel.

but when you’d come to sit with him out of all the other guys, again, he’d be smirking behind his pint glass.

“Y’know you look real beautiful, Y/n.” He’d give you the most genuine and kind compliment you’ve received all night, he’d hook his arm around yours to walk you somewhere, ugh he’d probably come across really calm??

I do think Shifty would be sweatinggggg, like boy he’s nervous on the inside, and when you clasp your hand with his he’s gulping.

not to sound crude, but he probably hasn’t seen a woman in a while, not one as amazing as you- so he gets a little hot and bothered when your hand runs over his shoulder.

he’s not one to be too forward, I think he’d be more traditional so he wouldn’t necessarily make a move on you- but he’d tell you how he feels there and then.

being honest he wants you soooooo bad, he feels the ache in his chest even just glancing at you. Plus, Shifty can tell you’re glowing both inside and out, he’d probably pick up on that and make you swoon like you’ve never before.

Joe Liebgott

Listen Joe has been knowing ur attractive for a realllllll long time. Like im talking since Toccoa and all.

But nothing comes of it so he treats you like his little sister, like similar to Malarkey he’d joke around with you, ruffle your hair- he likes that you’re not afraid to get dirty and have a little fun.

like he’d probably rugby tackle you (gently?) because he knows you’re so just down to earth and cool.

so he hold off all the compliments or what not and his flirtation is more through playfulness?? Like you just have a bond and he fucking loves ya- he tells you all the time, but all of a sudden you walk in looking like a fucking pin up model and he gasp- loves you in a way that isn’t so… platonic?

uhhhh Joe’s shifting in his seat, eyes fixated and mouth slightly hung open. Has to tense his jaw and blink away just so nobody see’s him looking like a creep.

doesn’t know how to act around you?? Like he’s acting all nervous and awkward because you’re so fucking beautiful and done up and god, all the men want you in there.

tries to be mean as a form of flirting, but that doesn’t work- it goes badly wrong so he ends up chasing you out of the pub, grabbing at your waist.

“Hey, y/n, slow down. I didn’t mean it like that!” “Then how did you mean it, Joe?! You think I look tacky!” “No I don’t! I really don’t!” He kinda laughs again and you attempt to shrug him off but uhhh he get carried away and the feelings just fall out his mouth. “Truthfully-” “shut up, Joe.” “No, truthfully, I think ya look gorgeous. Like shit doll, I think I’ve fallen in love with ya.”

The admission is only followed by more and more and he blurts out how nervous you made him feel- his ability to express emotion all these years later surprises you and you’d just kiss him so quickly he almost stumbles off his feet.

tells you you should dress up more often like that for him.

Dick Winters:

Ummmmmm probably already with you?? Winters has seen you all dressed up before but after a particular long time of seeing you struggling, he’s in awe to see you looking so radiant and happy.

watches from afar with the most loved up feeling ever, he’s extremely secure in your relationship, yet still oogles in utter awe from you.

has to put up with the other men (they don’t know about your relationship) staring and gawking, he legit has to close Babe’s mouth for him??

but seriously, he just smirks when he sees you laughing at the men’s advances on you cos he knows he’ll be the one in bed with you that night.

and you are ugh- he’s so amazing and can’t get over how perfect you looks, he even asks you to leave the dress on when you’re doing the deed 🙈🙈.

“I’m so glad I’ve got you all to myself.” He’d mutter whilst you’re wrapped up in his arms, hair and makeup slightly frazzled. “Me too, I couldn’t cope for a minute longer not speaking to you out there.” “And all of them gawking at you… I mean who can blame them, you look absolutely beautiful.” Lewis Nixon:

Ummm what the fuck? He’s amazed? Jaw is dropped and he has to put his glass to one side whilst Dick pushes his jaw closed for him.

“is that Y/n?” He’d squint, “as in our Y/n?”

wastes no time in getting to know you and sit besides you, it’s not like you two haven’t talked before, but you’ve never really been close or had the chance to be. Now, the war in Europe is over and Lew is divorced, it opens new opportunities- hence why he comes and speaks to you.

a little Dutch courage never did no harm, and in Lewis’ case it began a beautiful relationship. But holy fuck- he’s in complete shock at how beautiful you are, your hairs pinned up to perfection, your makeup is highlighting every feature of your face so perfectly.

you should best believe that your lipstick will be smudged over his thumb and lips later that evening, cos Lewis isn’t one to waste any time…

Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss and Mansplain Manipulate Malewife incarnate my beloveds 🧎🧎🧎

Wanda and Cosmo are, as you can see, a designed a lil bit differently for my au. For Cosmo especially I based him more around his pilot/really early episode self, where he was more of a slick, shifty car salesman type of character, whos mishaps came more from his malfunctioning wand than his stupidity.

He's been given more of a househusband role in my au, and he keeps his blind adoration for his wife, which i always found adorable. Mans may not always know exactly what's going on, but he's ride or die for his family.

With Wanda, I leaned into the fact that she comes from a highly feared/respected Mafia family. Threaten her husband or son, and she'll cut a bitch and look damn good doing it. I kinda headcanon yellow as a colour associated with power, since fairy crowns/wand stars are yellow, so she's always dripped out in some form of gold/yellow, and this is a fashion choice that gets passed onto Timmy somewhat, with him having gold star earrings and crown symbols on his sneakers.

i’ve seen people do this and i’m super curious to see your take on it: casting your mutuals as bob or the pacific characters? which mutuals remind you of which characters? you don’t have to do this of course but i just figured you’re so so awesome with your headcanons and takes on different characters, it would be super fun to see your takes! love your epiphany series so much!!! take your time on epiphany, i’ll simply be here rereading the chapters 😌

hi anon! i've been sent multiple asks like this and have been kind of putting it off...but here we go!

@merriell-allesandro-shelton -> Eugene Sledge - I know obviously Louise LOVES my man Snafu Shelton, I feel like her personality gives off Sledgehammer vibes. She's super nice, but can be stern and take care of business when needed. Also, she likes having a tight-knit group of mutuals (in a good way) like Gene had his group in K Company. Love you, Lou!

@blvestxr -> Alton More - I couldn't choose anyone other than Lena's man, Alton. When I think of him, I think of Lena, and that is why I totally would cast her as More! I also feel like she has the ✨pizzaz✨ that just gives off Alton "no I didn't steal Hitler's personal photo albums, sir" More <3

@hxad-ovxr-hxart -> Babe Heffron - Idk why but it was the first thing that came to my head and I'm not arguing with it.

@footprintsinthesxnd -> Pat Christenson - again, idk why...but it makes sense in my brain. Jess is an AMAZING writer and is very talented in making moodboards and other visuals. I think that is why Pat makes sense to me. He was an artist after all!

@ronsparky -> Shifty Powers - From our interactions, Jessica totally gives off Shifty vibes! Shifty is just a sweet little bean, and I totally see her as the same! I love her work and am very glad that she decided to join our growing fandom!

[leosrpaccount]

intro

HELLO. i am leo. i'm 24 and use he/him. i'm a trans dude looking for other trans dudes and transmascs who are 21+ to roleplay with! i prefer all chars to be 25+ and the word limit i generally tend to hit is somewhere over discord's normal character limit (thought it can ABSOLUTELY go further.) i will make a server for us! MxM only.

conditions

PLEASE please please only use faceclaims from: written description, picrews, your own art, or commissions purchased by you. this is my major dealbreaker.

21+ only!

transmascs or trans men only! i want a partner who understands transmasc chars on a fundamental level, considering i almost always have my main characters be such.

have some energy and enthusiasm! i am super active and would love an equally active person to work with. i draw art, i make playlists, i headcanon round the clock, i am HERE. you will gain a very energetic partner who loves multithreading if we're a good fit!

i tend to prefer you make a new char on the spot, but you can TRYYY (emphasis on try) to pitch a pre-existing one to me. i just really prefer making new things and helping you through them. this concept is just as new to me as it will be to you, i've only sorted out character stuff and know the setting pretty well because i've played ttrpgs in it!

nsfw necessary!

characters:

THE MAIN GUY:

genesis, 29, a transmasc clone/cyborg (a weird bit of both) of apocalypse-bringing power levels, though he does not want to do so and instead buries himself in work for his boss, a supervillain (your character!). deadpan, flat, unexpressive, and hides a lot of fondness for his boss.

Y/C:

a supervillain, all side chars' and genesis's boss. you can do this up any way you want, but the vibes should be as follows: has enough money to have a whole team back at base, does wrong but isn't 100% bad. otherwise, go crazy!

THE SIDE CHARACTERS:

bolt, 28, a transfem recon expert with lightning powers, always cheerful and supportive, a bit of a team mom. and angel, 27, a grouchy token cis medic and also catboy.

plot vibes:

set in masks (the ttrpg's) setting - halcyon city, a metropolis full of aliens, intergalactic travelers, heroes, and villains.

doing evil, but also doing good by those you hold close. just because the world claims you're evil doesn't mean you're all bad.

love, crime, and acting ordinary even when doing villainy. lead a semi-normal life, but be all about shifty biz in costume.

anyways... dm me for further inquiry! i'd love to see you there. : ] please give me a nice intro with your message so i can immediately feel out if we'd be a good fit, just saying "hello" or "is this still open?" will not do it for me. thanks a bunch for reading! i have art of every character (though some of it is. just a sketch,) so i'd be happy to show!

[rogue-durin-16]

This is a fun idea that I’ve had rolling in my head for a while, but you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to! What if the reader likes to draw, so obviously, when surrounded by those snackable men in East company, she draws them! She puts little notes next to the faces (ex. Thinks he’s gods gift to women, or sweetest man alive), and maybe how some of the Easy boys would react to flipping through the sketchbooks and seeing the notes? With Toye, Luz, Bull, and Shifty?

A/N: I drew them for no reason. In like half an hour. I am so stupid somebody sedate me. Btw I actually read this when you sent it and thought omg I love it, and then completely forgot it existed. Enjoy these super delayed headcanons? <3

Warnings: none

JOE TOYE

"Hey, whatchu got there?"

Bad start.

You halfheartedly let him flip through the pages and this man's slack jawed.

Keep in mind that, while Joe knows you sketch in your free time, he has no idea you sketch them.

Double shock when he gets to his face.

Doesn't process the silly notes at first because something's not clicking.

You drew him. Him. Out of- him?

Tries his best not to blush

Genuinely doesn't know how to react

AND THEN HE SEES THE NOTES

This man cannot hold back a little smile of endearment when he reads 'toughest motherfucker' because that's a big ass compliment.

Specially considering he thinks he's a dud.

'an actual sweetheart' this man choked on his own words. A SWEETHEART. HIM. A-

"Do you... Like it or...?"

"It's— yeah no, I-I love it. They're really good huh..." Tries to act cool while he hands it back.

He can't look at you in the eye for a hot minute because you made his brain shortcircuit with a quick sketch.

Tough and a sweetheart. No one had ever called him a sweetheart.

Toye knows he's got a soft side to him, but it's buried so deep he never thought someone would notice.

Bot you did, and it keeps him up at night for months I'm not even kidding.

GEORGE LUZ

George is bored. He's very vocal about it.

You don't care. You're very vocal about it too.

Well too bad because Luz wants attention so he's going to annoy you until he gets some.

Verbal vexation doesn't work because you're currently focused on sketching Malarkey, so he switches to plan B; snatching the sketchbook away from you.

Immediately teases you about drawing Don while you chase him through the house you're billeted in.

Flips through the pages without actually seeing shit because initially he just wanted your attention and he got it.

But then he catches a glimpse of his face and sudden he's actually interested.

A boyish grin lights up his gaze.

He's way too happy about a damn sketch and he knows it but he can't help it.

You drew him and he looks handsome. He has never thought of himself as handsome but apparently you did.

Shoves you away to read the notes.

'Easy's source of joy'. THE REASSURANCE HE FEELS-

He snickers at the 'human lucky charm.

Then his head snaps at you in disbelief.

"SHORT?!" He's FLABBERGASTED. It's your turn to laugh.

Also run because George is so chasing you.

He's not sure what he's gonna do when he gets you. Probably hit you with the goddamn sketchbook. Probably kiss you idk he'll see.

BULL RANDLEMAN

Bull knows you sketch them for fun.

He's caught a glimpse of a couple of drawings here and there but never said anything, not even to you.

But now you two are sitting by each other's side at a bar in silence and he's adamant about making a conversation with you.

He bumps your arm, tilts his chin at you and then at the sketchbook peeping from your bag.

"Can I see 'em?"

How are you gonna say no to this absolute darling? To be fair you forgot about the little notes on his drawing.

He nonchalantly flips the pages, occasionally nodding and making quiet comments.

"You got talent, Y/n/n."

He's got the book wide open so you can see what he's seeing. And you see his drawing. And the notes.

Bull's heart swells at the sketch. It shouldn't surprise him— the fact that he's got his own page, but it does.

He reads the first note and the corner of his lip twists up. HE READS THE SECOND NOTE AND SNORTS.

He quirks a brow at you. "Anything you wanna tell me?"

You're mortified. He assures you he's completely kidding. Congratulates you on the drawings. Gives it back and watch your every move.

Husband material huh?

SHIFTY POWERS

Shifty makes eye contact with you while you're sketching him. Thrice.

First time you give him a mortified smile and he doesn't get why, but he returns it.

Second time he knows something's up. He sees the sketchbook.

Third time he walks up to you.

You attempt to uhm pretty much run away because you just finished so there's no need to stick around anymore.

He cuts through and get to you before you can leave.

"What were you drawing?" He asks, but he means 'were you drawing me?'

You show him and his eyes light up with joy.

He struggles with words but his visage is a very telling sign that he actually loves it.

He goes through everybody's sketch and asks if you were gonna add any notes to his.

The fact that he seems so excited about it dims your embarrassment and gives you a little bit of courage.

So you take back the sketchbook and scribble the notes before giving it back.

HE LOOKS EVEN HAPPIER.

'certified guardian angel' HELL YES, HE'LL KEEP YOU SAFE ANY DAY.

'lovely but deadly' he wants to kiss you. Much like Toye, he's not used to people seeing both parts of him, but... You do?

"Could I... Maybe... Keep it?"

You're surprised no one else has asked for the drawing. Maybe they assumed you wouldn't give it away.

Shifty's eyes widen momentarily when you rip the page and hand it to him.

He'll cherish the sketch forever.

Can I request fluffy headcanons of Shifty falling for a girl?

I have talked to @hellitwasyoufirstsergeant about this in depth at some point and it has given me a whole new love for Shifty. 

All requests are open💕

Taglist: @hellitwasyoufirstsergeant @floydtab

I feel like for Shifty there wasn’t a ‘falling in love’ process before he met her. There was a time before he seen her, and there was everything after that moment. There is no in between for him. It's a sudden and quick process and he just knew the second he saw her that his single life was over, and he wanted her more than anything. It was only after they began their relationship that he realised the ‘falling in love’ thing would be him loving her more and more than before.

The first time he laid eyes on her he could physically feel his heart sing with happiness. He couldn’t look away from her direction, and while he was never a big believer in love at first sight, he definitely was when he seen her smile.

Shifty is a blusher and it doesn't take much to get him to blush but, there are different levels. He blushes lightly when he is complemented or when everyone stares at him on his birthday. He turns undeniably red when he sees a pretty girl looking at him, and it only gets worse if he makes eye contact with her.

Even from the opposite side of the street he would feel a little bit awkward because he doesn't want to keep staring but he can't look away either. He wants to remember everything about her. He knows that he will never feel the same again and he wants to make sure he appreciates the moment enough.

Letting her walk away was one of the biggest regrets of his life and he swears if he ever saw her again, he would do anything to talk to her. He couldn’t get the picture of her laughing in her little blue dress out of his head and he spends the next two weeks moping around, planning what he would say to her and how he would ask her out.

When he finally sees her again, he would be mesmerised. It is in the exact same place he had seen her previously and he was stuck to his place on the path. But he finds enough confidence from somewhere and before he knows it his feet would have him moving towards her. And of course, he trips over his feet, but he doesn't let that stop him from getting to know the prettiest girl he has ever seen.

When he tries to ask her out, he can help but stutter and mumble. He is always messing up his words by thinking faster than he can talk. Eventually, he gathers himself together and he is really formal. He introduces himself as Darrell, thinking Shifty wasn’t proper enough for such a pretty girl, and the way she says his name is his new favourite sound. He likes to call her ‘Miss’ and ‘Ma’am’ even when she insists he just uses her name.

After the first date he wouldn’t wait around long enough for a goodnight kiss. Once he made sure she was safely at her front door, he says a quick goodnight and leaves. He wanted a kiss, he really did, but he didn’t want to put her in the position where she felt awkward, like she had to kiss him. He would be way too nervous to make a move.

The whole way home he couldn’t help but relive the whole date. It was the night he knew he wanted to marry her. Shifty loves being in love. He didn’t know such a strong feeling could be felt towards someone. And he is really glad he somehow managed to ask a girl like her out, even after he tripped.

The following few months was kind of repetitive in their relationship. They spent all their free time together and sometimes Shifty would surprise her with an afternoon walk when he was finished work. No matter how tired he was, he always wanted to be with her. 

He has a picture of the both of them tucked into the frame of the mirror in his room. Every time he looks at it his heart swells and he falls in love all over again. Shifty doesn't fall in love with his girl just once, he falls over and over again throughout the years of their relationship.

She is the one who has to hold his hand and every time without fail he blushes the deepest shade of red possible. It’s only after they have been together for ages will he be the one to make a move. He is constantly learning new things about her and just when he thinks he has her completely figured out, he learns something new.

Their shared first kiss is the definition of the sweetest moment ever. He never wanted to spring it upon her, but he didn’t want to over plan it either. He would be really relieved when it just kind of happened. He didn’t know what to do with his hands and they randomly ended up in her hair, but he doesn't remember moving them there.

His lips are really soft so when she randomly leaned in for a quick peck, he blurts out that he loves her. It was the first time he had said it out loud to anyone. He thought it was the most unromantic way to have told her, and he was completely convinced he had messed everything up. The smile on her face when she says it back changes his mind very quickly. From that moment on he tries to tell her every chance he gets, and he likes to remind her that she is the light of his life.

Relationship Heacanons | Darrel "Shifty" Powers

SFW 

Omg, this sweet boy.

He would touch you like you are made of glass.

He is so gentle, and a true gentleman. 

Long walks in the woods.

Let me tell you, he knows everything about you, mostly the things you don't know about yourself.

We all know is observant, so he knows and reads your body language like It's the palm of his hand.

The way you move your leg when you are stressed, the expression you make when you see something you like in a store or even the fact that he knows how much you love him just by your gaze and how your shoulders fall down of relief every time you see him.

He does the same, mostly when he is in crowded or loud places.

Poor baby :(

This man has a thing for giving you flowers.

Almost every day he will come home and bring you random little sidewalk flowers with his sweet smile and say "It's for you love."

Please, just give him a kiss after that or he will stand there waiting for one like a puppy <3

If you ask him to teach you how to use a rifle, he would gladly teach you; "But safety first" he will say.

He loved to put himself behind you and position your hands in the right place with his hands over yours, while giving you tips.

"Don't think too much, control your breathing and remember, It's okay to not get it right at first. Takes practice sweetie."

If you were with him in Easy and you had a good shot, gosh he would admire you so much.

Shifty is so understanding.

If you were sad, tired or even on your period, he would be so caring. Even if you hide it, he will know.

"You wanna talk about it or be left alone honey? Or maybe a hug?"

Just imagine him saying this by the side of the bed, with those sweet eyes and that gentle soft voice.

Praise him or say how handsome he looks and he will blush instantly.

He is not much into pda BUT It's the little things that count, for example when you hold his arm when walking outside, or the way you smile at something you see, something he does or says. He catches everything.

His kisses are the most tender. He brushes your hair, places his hand on your waist while doing it. 

He has the softest hands.

About his family and how hard it was to explain what happened and how guilty he felt for what he did in the war, was something you helped him with.

Shifty knew that he was doing his job like everyone else, but he didn't know if his family would see it in the same way.

But in the end it turned out fine, his family understood how a great soldier he was, and how much he deserved that recognition and inner peace by their and your acceptance.

NSFW

So gentle and passionate. 

The long walks in the woods would become kinda boring, so you and Shifty would definitely find a way to pass the time.

Wink Wink.

Again, he is a body language master, and by that I also mean that he knows where, when and how to touch you.

"Am I hurting you love? Do you want me to go slower? Is it okay this way?"

So sweet and oh god, he knows how to use that tongue.

Gosh, and his soft moans by your ear.

He kisses your neck and collarbone like your skin is a feather. 

He is so sensitive in his abdomen, scratch him there or on his back and he will get goosebumps.

Let him take care of you and tell him how good he is making you feel.

Ride him with really smooth movements and he will say "Yes ma'am/sir" and get on his knees. (Not literally… okay, maybe if you ask him to.) 

He interlocks his fingers with yours during missionary.

He just loves face to face positions, mostly the one where you are on his lap and holding his shoulders, basically hugging.

He absolutely lives for foreplay, he could spend hours seeing you shiver under his touch. 

If he comes home with you wearing lingerie, prepare yourself  to see his jaw drop and get all nervous and red. Also, give him a minute to admire you before he starts feeling you. 

Let me tell you, this sweet man is the best at aftercare.

He likes to pull you to his chest, play with your hair, run his fingers through your skin, and you should always expect soft spoken check-ins. 

And if both of you don't fall asleep, you will take a bath together and relax a little in the bathtub.

It's in this times of you just tenderly feeling each other's skin that he drops the sweetest I love you’s.
