AU where Loki doesn’t interfere with Thor’s banishment at all and it takes Thor years to prove himself worthy and when he returns to Asgard everything is just. The same. Nothing seems to have changed at all and everyone greets him like his absence was a minor obstacle that didn’t fundamentally change Thor and the worst part is Loki stepped down from the place as regent without any delay and Thor can’t help but feel there’s something underlaying the way his brother looks at him now and won’t let him touch him and Thor doesn’t know what he could have missed because he doesn’t think he would have found anything wrong with the things around him and how everyone behaves if he hadn’t spent time on Earth reflecting.

People who really like shuake also seem to write themselves into a corner wrt Akechi and his relationship to Akiras team. Contrary to popular belief, the team, including Haru, does not hate Akechi. At worst, they tolerate him and deal with his attitude. Hes a good teammate and respectable fighter and the team recognizes that at the end of the day, he was a teenager who was manipulated and abused by a man who saw him as disposable. Just about every thief understands this intimately. They have the same mindset wrt adults who take advantage of the people beneath them. Under different circumstances they wouldve been friends. And if u approach it from that angle, it becomes less about Akechi being the sole person who ‘gets’ Akira, and more about the thieves being the only people in the world who ‘get’ Akechi.

When you expand your thoughts to include the thieves as members of his Team and not roadblocks that get in the way of your ideal shipping dynamic, you allow urself to give Akechi and Akira more depth and nuance to their own relationship.

Akira and Akechi are wildcards; both of them struggle with the face they choose to display to the world. Its the first time Akira interacts with someone who is, at a literal, technical level, his ‘equal’. But Akechi is one of many firsts for Akira yeah? Every thief has their bond with Akira thats completely unique and personal. Akechi will never be the person who witnesses Akiras Awakening, hes never the person who watches Akira have his restless nights alone in the attic, and hes never the person who realizes in real time that the teenager hes housing is just Some Kid, not the delinquent hes been warned about. Hes not Ann or Yusuke, or any of the thieves; he doesnt have the time or experience that they have with Akira, and I think its interesting to explore that part of their relationship, shippy or not.

Akechi is someone who is incredibly lonely and self depreciating despite his cockiness and attitude. He has no positive bonds to speak of save for his connection with Sae. To have him see a team that works together and cares for each other, how do you think he would feel? Out of place? Inferior in some way? Angry about how hes been alone for so long in this single minded quest for revenge? Wouldnt that be a point of struggle between the two of them? I think what makes shuake good for me is knowing that Akechi needs alot of time to heal, and the thieves would want to help with that process. They do it bc they care, bc Akira cares, and bc they trust Akiras opinion (and he trusts theirs in return); if Akira feels like Akechi is someone who can be trusted Now after everything thats happened, then the thieves would do their best to help. And how would Akechi feel about that? Angry about the show of pity? That even now, he has no real say in what happens to him? Or begrudgingly grateful that they are cordial with him? Because they do care, he KNOWS they care, they care TOO MUCH actually; but the one thing he values over brawn and wits is honesty- fighting for what you believe in without having to use soft words to justify it.

Hetalia Appearance Headcannons ʚɞ

England:

His pretty eyes, almond and upturned, with thick, long lashes. Always looking up at people through them, like peeking through the blinds, wary of the stranger in its town - and there are so many strangers, so few friends. Soft lips and pale skin, so easy to colour a pretty pink. Freckles if one looks close enough, hiding under the eyes, often lost under the natural blush of the cheeks.

He has long fingers and sharp cheeks and pronounced collarbones. Green eyes, green of old English rainforests, and reeds below the endless sea, and greed, endless, infinite greed. He's skinny, all bones and sharp edges. He eats no mortal food. The green eyed demon, devourer of souls and people and nations. Those awful eyes always dry, always itching, he has a quirk for rubbing them when anxious. Trying to scratch away the demon within them, that unsatiable greed he suffers from.

He's a small man, but has a large presence. An undeniable bravery, a fierce intellect, a cleverness so tricky and brilliant. Yet a tentativeness, a strong feeling of otherness plagues him. The outsider of Europe, the youngest child of Rome - a terrifying, unexpected thing that ate the whole world in an attempt to taste the nectar of the Gods. Unchosen one. Defier of fate. Wretched thing. It crawls its way through the earth into the garden of paradise. Green eyed viper, corrupter of man and nature. With him comes fire and steel and blood.

The youngest, the smallest, the runt of the litter. A terrible boy with something to prove. Godless heathen, he tears the Gods in two to embellish his own crown. His pride will be the death of them all.

The English lion and the shiny golden God, the laser upon the wall. Always chasing, unable to stop itself from trying to grasp it in its claws. A shadow in the cave of Plato or the light of salvation. In the realm of the heart where its great intelligence cannot pierce, those lovely eyes so blind and unsure.

in true wizard fashion, loux is a hoarder. deeply unfortunate, as he simply will not get rid of anything and doesn't really care if he ends up amassing enough crap to start a fire if he so much as farts the wrong way. he likes things, the type to collect lunchmeat tupperware to stuff full of sewing needles and thread, or buttons, mouse bones, feathers, and blackwyrm sacs. cookie tins for brachio seeds, old cigarette tins for harpy eyes, mason jars for blackwyrm eggs, beholder eye stalks, and gas adder acid bladders. crate upon crate of tungskin ready for sale, near endless stacks of old textbooks and stolen tomes, scrolls and diagrams, writs and treatises, crystals and gemstone clusters in wide range of shapes and sizes, hutches, display cases, stolen artifacts and weapons both human and nightfolk, cabinet upon cabinet of jarred alchemical ingredients and ritual tools - and a closet that'd blow any unreasonably wealthy person out of their own walk-in, both masculine and feminine.

he's by no means messy and keeps absolutely everything labeled and organized, regularly going through and tossing what's expired, outdated, or otherwise useless to him and replacing it all later - but he has so much. about the only thing that's regularly disorganized is his desk, and that's not likely to change since it's a place he can be found frequenting - the mess is basically in constant rotation between research, balancing his ledger, going through his records, transitory poition-making since he's a pacer, so on and so forth. that's where he does most of his...well, anything, be it magic or even sleeping (he really only sleeps in his bed if he has a partner). anyway, he keeps everything else very clean, charming a number of common household cleaning tools to automatically sweep, dust, make the bed, scrub the dishes, etc. so that, even while he's away, where he lives is always neat and organized.

"not to ocpost-" please oc post (as long as you're ok with it) i would love to learn more about holly and chun-run!! (as long as you're ok with it!!)

! oh its absolutely ok, i love being enabled ^w^ kjfngdkjf um um. this is another Entire Thing(tm) that requires Exposition(tm) so um hope youre ready to read More Paragraphs !

the short answer is

the long answer is: i went 'hey i have two* ruina-era ocs, what if i put them next to each other for fun? haha they'd hate each other ^w^' ... 'Oh God They'd HATE Each Other.' so uh, the exposition.

Holly! You've Never Met Her Before. certainly not. ttttechnically. out of narrative, Holly was originally a branch of what Cocoa's character would have been when I was first developing her. in narrative, Holly is what would have happened if they'd never been picked up by LCorp. she's... an entirely different person, basically.

in essence, if you thought the other one was unstable, Oh Boy(tm). Holly is what happens when the city Actually gets the chance to sink its claws in. it's just this time, she was far, Far less quiet about it. girlies who completely fucking failed their stat check Again. there's only so much 'keep your head down and take it' you can really handle before you're just about ready to tear a bitch apart, and well. Well! anyway.

Holly is another angle of the Human/Monster/Object tangle, in where Cocoa's development hinges on the equivalent of trying to balance several spinning plates and Fucking Up Miserably, Holly has started hurling plates directly into the audience with intent. if you will.

humans are always talking some hot shit about how high and mighty they are, the "value" that comes with just being Human, and yet their entire lives are a horrible, animalistic dance of clawing each other to shreds while hiding behind ideas and roles they themselves put into play, like it's some stupid game. that harm is just an intrinsic part of the human nature. she can't fucking stand it.

essentially, she's an odd argument between the Human and Monster corners of the tangle. not only hates the binds that the city places on them of obligation, but also the ties of human emotion-- namely guilt and connection. that endless dance. she wants nothing more than to shed these ideals completely-- unfortunately, she still intrinsically and unconsciously clings onto them, afraid to let go. a human trying to claw its way out of humanity. it doesn't matter what it takes-- she's not letting this city take her first.

...and then there's Chun-Run.

we just don't know where chun-run came from. but she sure Is, and she's Immediately going to make it a Huge Fucking Problem. being aligned with the musicians of bremen, she has.. very normal views about art, and what it means to be Alive. she's the closest thing to a human time bomb i can think of, probably.

she doesn't have much of a character... honestly kind of intentionally? her entire being is solely rooted in the present, the What Is and the What Will Be. she strives to feel what the pianist's performance invoked that day-- through any means necessary. whatever happens to Her, to anything around her-- none of it matters. first and foremost, she is a conduit. it's all secondary to that singular experience.

horrifying. painful, disgusting. striking, poignant, pungent. it makes her sick to think about, but some part of her wishes she was closer to truly Feel it. its repulsive– but she Needs to hear it again. to witness, to experience. what is it– what was it? to grasp onto an ephemeral feeling she physically cannot understand– frustrating, frustrating. but she Needs to. to make the soul sing, cry out in reverence... to call it a Song is almost insulting.

so you have the worlds most unstable walking contradiction with absolutely no outlet and an unidentified fucking thing intent on wringing some undefineable meaning from the soul through physical violence.

so like, moth meet flame.

chun-run is pretty much Instantly infatuated with holly-- but for the Entire Wrong Reasons. it's pretty much "Yeah I Could Make Her Worse." all the way down, but expressed entirely through Murder. yknow, girl things. and holly, of course, fucking hates this are you for real right now??? shut the fuck up about reaching Art through Violence there is something WRONG WITH YOU. chun is entirely convinced that she's what will harmonize closest to that sound she's chasing-- that dissatisfaction, desire, rage... it's so painfully close. and yet she refuses to acknowledge that spark! refuses to engage entirely! is it not the nature of the soul to sing? so sing girl, sing.

girlies who are trying to claw their way back to stability and girlies who want nothing more than to burn to ashes in a beautiful blaze of Being. in conclusion:

Prompt #167

Villain smiled at the squeal of the door hinges. Hero was always so polite. No breaking walls or kicking down doors for them. They entered through a proper entrance every time.

They took a deep breath before spinning around on their heel. “Ah, Hero, so good of you to— Who are you?”

The figure standing before them was definitely a hero. They had the agency emblem embroiderer into their orange and black suit—a fire gifted then. But they weren’t their hero.

“Oh!” The hero ceased cranking their head all around the room and gave a weak wave. “I’m Other Hero. You’re new assigned nemesis.”

“B-but what happened to Hero? Are they ok?”

An entirely forced smile graced Other Hero’s lips. . “They’re fine. They’re just…creeped out by you…aaaand they don’t want to see you anymore. Anyway, moving on, what’s that scary looking thing the corner? Maybe you oughta give me a monologue?”

“I-I don’t understand,” Villain said. “I only said I liked them; I didn’t do anything. I didn’t even touch them unless we were fighting. D-did they give a reason? Can you tell me what I did? Maybe I can apologize and—“

“Villain.”

Other Hero’s stood mere feet away, their expression dropped serious.

“Hero’s asked for a reassignment. And they’re not coming back. And whether they discomfort they felt around you is deserved or not, that was their decision. Pursuing them further isn’t going to change how they feel about you. Now. If you’d like some time to process this, I can just smash that whatever-it-is and leave. But if you want to fight, let’s fight.”

INCOMING MOTH BRAINROT !!!

WHAT IF MOTH HAD MORE BEAST-LIKE TENDENCIES.

what if moth is more feral like, moth likes to make nests, growls, hibernate,is kinda grumpy but not with us. likes to hunt, loves meat, etc.

moth bf making a nest out of our blankets on OUR BED and if we get close he SNARLS AND GROWLS but then it reduces to grumbles as he lets us in the nest.

MOTH STEALING FOOD AND THINGS, maybe moth is like, dragons, who are greedy so what if moth brings food of the kitchen to the nest and just eats there. maybe moth doesn't care if people see him bc he knows he can easily overpower citizens in liyue. maybe moth loves to steal jewelry .

AND IF ZHONGLI CATCHES CHILDE, he just grumbles and tries to ignore the angry look on zhongli's face. and if WE find moth, moth just whimpers and lays down

MOTH LOVES COLD AREAS.

imagine moth going all the way to the cold mountains in liyue or DRAGONSPINE, childe also loves to swim so maybe he goes to the rivers.

just.. FERAL MOTH!!

*SMACKS TABLE* FERAL MOTH FERAL MOTH YOU UNDERSTAND

ohhh but just imagine Foul Legacy's feral instincts making him super protective of you- he loves snuggling into our lap, letting out quiet little purrs and coos (if you point them out, he gets embarrassed and grumbles) but if there's even a single knock on your door he immediately tenses and looks up- if someone comes IN to disturb you he starts growling, claws gripping into your legs as he hisses and snarls until the person leaves- they had plenty of time during the day to bother you!! right now he wants your company!! his talons leave small scratches in your skin, and the minute the person hastily shows themselves out Foul Legacy softens and whines, gently licking at the wounds and curling around you- he might seem grumpy, but if you're ever hurt he instantly turns soft and worried <33

oh you are SO RIGHT, Foul Legacy really doesn't listen to anyone but you- he tries not to go out without you by his side, since he doesn't trust basically anyone other than you. Legacy's been hunted before, and is fully expecting to be hunted again- it's why he looks at everyone else with dislike and a hint of fear. but...... he really does LOVE shiny things........ sometimes you'll come home to him playing with some new shiny thing he found. when you ask where he got it from, Foul Legacy looks momentarily guilty- he has the sense to look more remorseful when you tell him to give it back. you get him his own shiny things now!! they can be expensive sometimes, but it's worth it to see the normally grumpy Abyssal beast purring happily and playing with shiny brooches and chains (he definitely takes them to put in the nest in your room)

OH SPEAKING OF THE NEST- whenever you go to Dragonspine you MUST have nest cuddles afterwards. you get chilled to the bone because of the climate and Foul Legacy often swims in the icy rivers and has to be dried off once you get home, so he'll be very sleepy with his fluff all poofed up, and will scoop you up and carry you to the blanket nest for snuggles. when he's tired, Foul Legacy is more outwardly affectionate, so expect many drowsy chirps and trills and sleepy headbumps- scritch under his chin and he's out like a LIGHT, arms wound around your waist and face buried into the crook of your neck. if you try to get up, there'll suddenly be a heavy hand on your back pushing you back down and a pair of arms tugging you into an armored chest as Foul Legacy sleepily nibbles on your fingers. he likes having you close when you sleep, it's how he knows he's protecting you!!

oh and if anyone dares try to wake you up? immediately snarls and growls. do not disturb!!!! this nest is for him and you only!!!
