#something for all two fans of BAS that exist lol

[jalpunny]

Redrew the AU version of my OC Neiji AKA "Shadow Demon

[the-melting-world]

picrew

Seeing as how long I have been a HUGE fan of the airbender series (ATLA), it's actually kind of ridiculous that I never got into the fandom. Anyway, humor me while I go through each of my ocs and babble about their roles, histories, and bending styles in the ATLA universe! Also please excuse the fact that they had zero afro-textured options for hair in this one lol.

*Check under the cut for an unnecessary amount of lore.*

Kipling ~ Waterbender | Northern-style waterbending, vine/plant-bending, healing

Water Tribe Babeyyyyy

I don't really see Kip hailing from the Southern or Northern Water Tribes, but rather from a coastal village that developed after a handful of Southern Water Tribe hostages escaped one of the prisoner of war strongholds in the Earth Kingdom. I mean, if Hama (The Puppetmaster) and the plant benders from Foggy Swamp were any indication, there were water benders scattered all over the Earth Kingdom during Lord Ozai's military campaign.

Bending-wise, Kip has always been an average waterbender, whose bending is strongest when she's manipulating the water in plants and vines. When she comes of age, she is determined to advance her skills and find a way to serve her tribe more directly. So she travels to the Northern Water Tribe to seek an apprenticeship. There Kip advances her skills in traditional water bending forms (because up until then, her methods have been rather unorthodox) as well as her affinity for healing.

While Kip is up north, she does get close to Princess Yue in their healing classes. For a long time, Kip develops what she believes is a stupid crush, but eventually discovers the Princess has mutual feelings. Step aside, Sokka, you ain't the only one. Kip and Yue explore their relationship, but only briefly until the guilt and paranoia of getting caught and tarnishing Yue's reputation catches up to them. Kip ends up leaving in the dead of night leaving nothing but - you guessed it - a poem for Yue to find.

Kip happens to be one of the travelers Team Avatar meets while they're on the road. It's quite some time after the invasion of the Northern Water Tribe. This is after Yue has passed on, but before the group reaches Ba Sing Se. Both being kind of self-taught waterbenders, Kip and Katara bond very easily. Kip has a hard time being around Sokka since it's the first time she's felt something for someone since Yue. Still, despite Kip's efforts to ignore Sokka, they end up bonding over a lot of stuff, both stupid and serious. I'm not going to go into details about what went down when they inevitably learned of each other's past relationships with Yue, but yes, there were lots of emotions. A lot of Kip trying to run away and shake herself of Sokka. A lot of Sokka battling between pursuing her or leaving her alone. It's a mess. And no I still don't know how it turns out. Haven't planned it out that far.

After Ozai is defeated, Kip makes her living as a traveling waterbending instructor with her good Earth Kingdom friend, Khleo. She travels the territories, finding hidden water tribes and informing them of the fall of Ozai. She works with Khleo and the community members to open smalls schools, closely modeled after the earthbending schools in Omashu.

***

Khleo ~ Earthbender | earthbending, sandbending, lavabending

Khleo had a rocky start to their journey. Sorry, I couldn't help it.

They were born in an area that bordered on the Si Wong Desert and the mountain chain dividing the land from Chameleon Bay (where they later meet Kipling.) Naturally, Khleo picks up a little bit from each of the known forms of earth manipulation. Although they develop into a fully realized master by the time they reach adulthood, they don't ever try their hand at meltalbending when it starts to gain popularity after the fall of Ozai.

Khleo grew up poor and had to resort to unsavory business ventures with the local sandbenders in order to keep food on the table. But since they were the sole bender that could calm down the nearby volcanoes whenever they acted up, they were always regarded as a hero within the community.

Eventually, the Fire Nation finds a way to complicate Khleo's existence and they have to flee their home. First, they cross the mountain range to Chameleon Bay, where they meet the waterbender Kipling, who they easily bond with. Khleo and Kip travel together for some time until they run into Jet and his crew. Jet's lifestyle appeals to Khleo, who was tired of roughing it. But Kip takes one look at Jet and knows that he's bad news. She and Khleo part ways.

Like most of the kids in Jet's crew, Khleo blinded themself to his activities in order to survive and stay connected to a family group. But when his actions become too hard for them to go along with, they abandon the Freedom Fighters and go to go look for work elsewhere.

Khleo had set their sights on Omashu, where they believed they could earn an honest living and still practice their bending without the eyes of the Fire Nation bearing down on them. The journey was tough and Khleo had a few brushes with death, but they made it to Omashu. There they were immediately hired by a cabbage vendor who struggled in the past with keeping his wares in one piece. Khleo guarded his cabbage stand for all but a week before they were noticed by some Omashu academy trainers. They offered Khleo a job as an instructor in multiple earthbending forms. Surprised, but very willing, Khleo accepted. Eventually, Khleo was inducted into the Order of the White Lotus.

Years later, Khleo reunites with a very emotionally scarred Kipling. She stays with them until the capture of King Bumi, after which they quickly leave the city so that they can carry out the will of the White Lotus in hopes to undermine the Fire Nation's plan to conquer the Earth Kingdom on the day of Sozin's Comet 2.0.

***

Ozy ~ The Avatar Firebender/Airbender hybrid | firebending, airbending

Ozy's kind of special. He has an affinity for two elements.

He was born in the Fire Nation in a very, very small village on the coast of Crescent Island. When Ozy's parents noticed that their child was something of a prodigy, they brought him straight to the Fire Sages.

Now, there was a split among the sages. Some were loyal to Lord Ozai while others were secretly members of the Order of the White Lotus. One of the members recognized Ozy's affinity for airbending very early on and did everything they could to protect him.

Without being able to say goodbye to his parents or getting an explanation for what was happening, Ozy was sent to the Western Air Temple (you know, the cool upsidedown one) where he learned airbending with the help of older White Lotus members as well as spiritual experts like Guru Pathik (the same guru who taught Aang how to navigate the Avatar State.)

As Ozy became more and more enlightened, he came to believe that his gift was not a rare one. When he was not actively practicing the rudimentary components of bending, he was meditating on the factors that led the majority of people to believe that the ability to bend was inherited based on the ethnic and cultural group into which they were born. He thought that while this was true to some degree, additional affinities could be unlocked through the forgotten teachings of the Air Nomads.

To test his theory, Ozy went on a very dangerous journey to the Library in the Si Wong Desert, where he met and became very bonded to Uncle Iroh. Thankfully, Iroh and Ozy managed to not get eaten by the Library's spiritual patron. Later, Ozy declined Iroh's invitation to the Order of the White Lotus, instead choosing to retire to the Northern Air Temple. Thre he ended up assisting the mechanists with the construction of the flight technology (part of which had already been stolen and weaponized by the Fire Nation.) Ozy never left the Northern Air Temple to help in the fight against Ozai. Instead, he remained and became the first of the Air Acolytes, from which grows a community that later founded Air Temple Island and discovered the next child born into the Avatar Cycle - Korra of the Water Tribe.

***

Sun Bai ~ Airbender | proficient in airbending. Technically.

Bai, unfortunately, did not discover that he was an airbender until he was well into his twenties. The only way he unlocked his affinity for bending was through a traumatic event, the effects of which he managed to suppress for several years. It wasn't until Bai found himself in another flight or fight situation that he spontaneously called upon his connection to the air element. (Turns out Ozy was kind of right!)

Once Bai realized what he was made of, he made it a point to gather as much knowledge on the subject as he could. Everything that he came to understand about bending was self-taught. Meditation came more naturally to him, but even that required additional training, discipline, and theory to fully master. (He was basically the opposite of Avatar Korra, who picked up on the manual technique of airbending quite easily, but struggled with its spiritual component.)

Bai didn't really play a role in the fight against Lord Ozai. He didn't run into any of the Trio or Team Avatar. His journey didn't really start until after the war. At which point he meets General Adrenaline, and then later, Sascha of the Water Tribe.

General Rosario Adrenaline ~ Firebender | firebending, master in lightning redirection

Like Ozy, Adrenaline was another firebending prodigy. (In fact, it was Adrenaline who worked very closely with Princess Azula to hone her lightning redirection technique.) Eventually, Nali's skills were exploited to the fullest in the Fire Nation's military campaign, but long before that, firebending for her was a means to perform and entertain the masses.

Adrenaline grew up in the same circus troupe as Ty Lee! They had been best friends since childhood and ended up escaping together.

While Princess Azula always favored Ty Lee and Mei over Nali as bodyguards, she often went to Nali for "companionship." Azula kept her relationship with Nali very private. It lasted well into Azula's teenage years and got pretty serious. Though neither of them considered themselves in love with the other (just due to the fact that there was so much of a strain on them thanks to social hierarchy, and Azula being Azula) Nali developed a very deep, unhealthy loyalty to Azula, that in the end, resulted in her banishment from protecting the royal family.

After she was banished, Nali linked up with Zuko, who wasn't really all that happy about it, but Iroh steps in and gives the wise compassionate uncle lecture. Zuko folds and Nali becomes one his crew!

Nali and Azula continue to pursue their relationship. And now that it started to hinge on whenever Azula came around to fuck with Zuko's head, you can imagine how even more unhealthy and eventually toxic it became. Nali was torn between her loyalty to Azula versus her loyalty to Zuko. And Azula... didn't really care. It was a mess. Didn't end pretty.

Only after Azula was imprisoned by her brother did Nali finally wipe her hands completely clean of the Fire Nation's royal family. Not really caring what was happening in the rest of the world, she stumbled around from territory to territory, drinking, gambling, and taking up muscle for hire gigs to keep herself afloat. Until she meets and unexpectedly bonds with a very lazy monk, who needed an escort through the Serpent's Pass.

***

Sascha ~ Nonbender | weapons specialist - firearms and projectiles

Solo ~ Waterbender | Southern-style waterbending, bloodbending

Sascha and Solo were both students of Hama. Nuff said.

Although the twins soaked up much of Hama's ruthless, yet practical attitude towards survival, they just didn't inherit her very deep, eternal loathing for the Fire Nation.

They also realized that she was pretty messed up.

When Sascha and Solo were of age, they made a clean break from Hama and decided to open up a business in one of the towns along the mountainside.

Having grown up in the Fire Nation colonies, Sascha and Solo were very used to hiding their connection to their Water Tribe heritage. They blended in well and opened their garment and optics shop. It was a strange combination, but they managed to stake their claim in the community.

However, the two of them were still very clear enemies of the Fire Nation. They rebelled by getting the information out to other Water Tribe refugees living in hiding. Solo taught bloodbending in his self defense classes (which was much easier for him to pull off rather than traditional waterbending because it required less physical labor and thus did not put as much of a strain on his body.)

Meanwhile, Sascha would show Water Tribe nonbenders how to assemble firearms, which at the time, were considered still very new and dangerous technology.

Solo was happy with their life, but Sascha grew bored and restless. She wanted an adventure.

Then one day a very strange monk winds up wounded on her doorstep in the middle of the night. He's riddled with bullets - the kind of which only Fire Nation militia and Sascha herself would know how to remove and treat the damage they could cause...

And a treat for those that made it this far! 😜

Me!!! A water-airbender hybrid. And you're damn right I would have some hair loopies!

Tsubasa: “Oh, yeah. Did you know there’s a dance lesson day organized by the office? People who want to practice on their own, regardless of unit, can go.”

Soushi: “And you’re a kind senpai who treats people to things like ramen afterwards, right~?”

Tsubasa: “What an indirect way to ask for that lolol. Since you have such a big body, I’ll treat you.”

Soushi: “That’s a weird reason (lol). And I hear you always treat Dai-chan-san to things?”

[bigskydreaming]

This thread twitter. com /snarkybatbrat /status /129796110968136499 isn't new but this is what we deserve. I hope dc sees the hate they're getting and does at least something to change their plans for him. The did for Tim. But of course, Tim is white and has fans on high places.

Hmm, I’m getting a this thread doesn’t exist notification even when I take out the spaces, but I’m guessing its to do with the Flamebird talk elsewhere on that person’s feed? Cool, cool. Honestly, anything and everything other than what they’re actually doing with Damian is what we deserve, lol. Like, the bar is too low. There is no bar in Ba-Sing-Se.

Sigh, to be perfectly honest, this and the other Big Two of my Big Three Schrodinger’s Plot Twists, like.....just have me more impatient than anything else. The three things I’m most antsy about seeing the resolution to - 

- not because I intend to like, give a fuck about their resolution and will almost certainly view it as unworthy of the trees they are printed on, may the ghosts of those trees haunt DC forever, like, I’m talking poltergeist dryads and Phantom Ents lumbering through the halls of DC while middle management flees shrieking before them - 

But like, there are three specific things I want to see hurry up and get resolved already, so I can know precisely what SPECIFIC resolution it is I’m ignoring as I proceed to headcanon��“Okay but what if instead of [crap] it was this [actual quality] and if over here with [just the worst idea ever] it was actually [idea unsullied by proximity to King, Lobdell, Tynion, and the rest of the Legion of Ick] and also if only [DC NOOOOO] had instead been [DC YESSSSS] like, whew, what a world [where DC comics are things I want to read instead of just set on fire with my mind] instead of, y’know [a world where DC comics are things I want to just set on fire with my mind instead of read].

Anyway, my big three of the ‘mo are:

1) Literally Everything To Do With Damian Just Stop, Leave the Poor Kid Alone, Puberty Is Hard Enough Already

2) Bea. I don’t trust them with Bea, solicits do not make me any more keen to trust them with Bea, just. What are you going to do to Bea. I know you’re going to do something, DC, because you’re DC, you can’t just let a perfectly good character who has a perfectly good and even healthy relationship with the character who might FINALLY be getting back to a state where he’s in a perfectly good place to actually BENEFIT from such a relationship, like. Exist. Let alone reciprocate ‘lol like what would that even be like wow weird who even said that, quick, somebody fire them, I don’t like their vibe.’ I know you have some insidious plot in mind, SOME brainiac over there had to have said somewhere along the way “hey wouldn’t it be cool if now we like had BEA get amnesia and forget about Ric because SYMBOLISM” and because you don’t hire editors competent enough to yell THAT’S NOT WHAT SYMBOLISM IS, YOU COLOSSAL TWIT, NOW GO STAND IN THE CORNER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE DONE.....oh god, that’s it, isn’t it? That’s what’s going to happen to Bea, I bet. I said ‘quick imagine you’re DC, think like them, what would they do’ and I reached down to my asshole and pulled out the worst thing I could think of and I just fucking prophesied, didn’t I? Well fucking fantastic. Thanks a lot. Now I feel complicit.

But yeah, basically. Like. Bea is LITERALLY (one of the rare times I’m actually using that word right) the ONLY consistently good thing about this entire story arc, so of course someone was probably like mmmm, how can we ruin that though. So its not a matter of IF I’m gonna wanna smite them, its more I’m kinda just waiting til I know what specifically it is I wanna smite them FOR. Will it be they kill Bea, so brb, gotta smite them? Will it be they reveal Bea’s actually an agent of the Court all along, so brb, gotta smite them? Will it be that Bea pulls off her energy mask and reveals she’s actually, idk, Lady Shiva because why the fuck not at this point, as she cackles FOOL, IT WAS ME, THE WHOLE TIME and Dick’s like oh nooooo gross, you’re my sister’s mom, and then she pulls off another energy mask and goes HAHAHA, IMBECILE, ITS ME, PERPETUA, ITS A DOUBLE PLOT TWIST, and Dick’s like wait, who? And she’s like dude. Its me. Perpetua. Dark creator goddess of the whole multiverse? The entire past two years of the entire DC comics line has basically all been about me, me, me? Where have you been, living under a rock? And Dick’s like no, just with amnesia, and she’s like aww, nuts. I did not think this all the way through.

And then I smite them.

I mean, ultimately it makes very little difference I suppose, but I like to be specific about what it is I’m ignoring. It just feels more pointed, and pointed means stabby, and I’m all about stabbing DC at the moment, so. Pointed it is!

3) And finally, the resolution of the Ric Grayson arc all in all, or rather, just specifically in terms of “Will at least ONE person apologize to Dick and center HIM in his own storyline that he was the biggest victim of?” or will it be more like “Welcooooooooooome, to the start of our latest annual Dick Grayson Apology Tour, first stop, the siblings he just beat up while brainwashed and already feels absolutely terrible about having been used as a tool to inflict pain on while having absolutely no ability to do anything about it, what a dick that guy is, am I right?”

Again, not that it’ll make a ton of difference in the whole Ignoring On Account of All The Suck thing, but it does help inform what flavor of pettiness and peeves I sprinkle atop all my Hahaha You Guys Are Just The Worst posts from that point on.

*Shrugs* What can I say? I just hate going store bought if I can help it. Its that little individualized touch of spite that really gives a grudge some zest, y’know?

plot / memes! ♡   im gonna be honest, i dont like memes because a lot of people dont know how to make them work. you end up with like 6-10 replies in to a thread w. no solid location and its like? lol. and my muse is too erratic for plots. i dont like being tethered to plots either, not when my muse is unpredictable as fuck. i like on-the-fly, on-the-go improv. we have a solid location, a solid motive to start with, and we improvise from there. either learn how to keep up or dont.

✨ TAGGED BY: i stole it :) ✨ TAGGING: im lazy so anyone that wanna do it

Clean bandit symphony taken down from youtube

The program is available as well via ABS-CBN Entertainment’s Facebook page and YouTube channel as the network made a digital pivot and will offer more content via online streaming. It is also available on many cable and satellite TV providers like Sky Cable.Īside from airing on A2Z, “ASAP Natin To” can also be viewed via cable on the Kapamilya Channel (Sky Cable Channel 8 on SD and Channel 167 on HD, Cable Link Channel 8, G-Sat Direct TV Channel 22, and PCTA member cable operators). The first episode of “ASAP Natin To” this year that featured Andalio and Alonte’s “Symphony” number aired on A2Z Channel 11 via analog broadcast in Metro Manila and nearby provinces. Hindi ba siyempre ang mga fans, sobrang nabo-bore din sila kapag wala silang inaabangan sa mga iniidolo nila? Pero sobra kaming nagpapasalamat sa inyo kasi nandiyan pa rin kayo hanggang ngayon at mas dumadami ang family natin.” When asked for a message for their fans who stuck with them even though they did not have any show during the pandemic, Andalio said: “Maraming salamat sa inyo sa paghihintay. Details: Symphony Lyrics Clean Bandit feat. Iba 'yung experience pero sobrang nag-enjoy kami sa set,” added Andalio. This video is a guitar tutorial intended for those who want to learn how to play Clean Bandit Symphony Fingerstyle.

His audience is those who want to learn how to play covers either fingerstyle method or rhythmic. First time namin kasi after pandemic, ngayon na lang ulit kami nakapag-taping. The frame is just of his guitar and how he is playing it. “Sobrang saya nila katrabaho and 'yung taping sobrang saya. In an interview backstage at the ABS-CBN Christmas Special last month, the two shared what it was like taping the series under the new normal. Titled “Unloving U,” the series follows a forbidden love between the two lead characters portrayed by the two. The Outsider Week-End Musical Interlude: Clean Bandit - Rockabye ft. Come back Duffy and your Diet Coke bicycle, all is forgiven.Aside from occasionally gracing the ABS-CBN variety show on Sundays, Andalio and Alonte are also set to star in their own digital series that will be available on iWantTFC in February. More likely is that they’re just sucking up to their Microsoft overlords: it doesn’t exactly take a Black Flag fan to spot that Clean Bandit have always seemed like a group more likely to say “I’m with the brand” than most. Who knows, maybe it is Clean Bandit don’t exactly seem like a night out with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler in terms of LOLs. Like it?” At which point the band laugh as if this is the funniest thing they have ever heard. “What are you wearing, Cortana?” he asks, like he’s in a shit version of the film Her. Neil, undeterred from having his garms dissed by an algorithm, tries to chat up Cortana. The song was also released as the sixth single from Larsson's second studio album, So Good (2017). It is the third single from Clean Bandit's second studio album, What Is Love (2018). And if you last long enough without clawing out your eyeballs or jumping into the hole in the ground your mind willed into existence, well, things then turn a bit weird. About Symphony 'Symphony' is a song by British classical crossover band Clean Bandit featuring Swedish singer Zara Larsson. ‘Rather Be’ was released in December 2013 39.Since then, the song has become an international hit, partly due to the music video becoming a viral hit on YouTube, with now over 248 million views.

If Clean Bandit’s reason for accepting the job was money then they weren’t paid enough if it was to create something even worse than their music then they went too far. ‘Rather Be’ is a Dance track, released as a single prior to Clean Bandit’s release of their début album, ‘New Eyes’. Cortana, which even Robin Thicke would concede is a Siri rip-off, promises to remind cello player Grace not to dance on tables while mocking the band’s violinist Neil for his taste in hideously garish jackets. Clean Bandit quotes I'm just so honored to be able to travel around the world and play songs. In it, the band chat with the Windows Phone personal assistant as they prepare to attend the Brit awards. C lean Bandit, the Cambridge-educated group who looked at dance music and thought, “What this needs is more violins”, redefine cringe-worthy in this new ad for Cortana.

Whats your opinion on the headcanon that bakugou is hard of hearing because of how loud his explosions are? If you dont mind my asking

I think I answered this q on this blog already? Maybe? But anyway, I don’t exactly mind it, but I can’t say I share the headcanon myself - for one, because I’m of the opinion that their bodies are built to withstand a safe use of their quirks (a bit like you can’t break a leg by simply walking, you know), so in general I’m not a fan of headcanons that include damages caused by simply doing what their bodies were born to do? 

But also because generally, even under the assumption that his body isn’t made to hold up with his explosions, isn’t it awfully convenient how only his ears take damage in these scenarios? What about his eyes? How come he can still see with no problems even with the continuous exposure to the explosions’ light? How about his hair? How come he can stand so close to fire without it ever being damaged by it? His palms have thicker skin and we know that thanks to his UA file, but what about the rest of his body? How come he can stand smack in the middle of an Howitzer Impact without getting even slightly burnt? When you say “only his ears aren’t made to withstand his explosions” what you’re telling me is that his whole body is tailord to deal with his quirk but his ears, and that just feels unrealistic to me - by which I mean, when this is the scenario we’re talking about, you can’t give the fault of the damage to Bakugou’s quirk. It’s a problem his body has, not a natural consequence of having that sort of quirk. And imho with those premises you sort of end up with a different kind of story, you’re supposed to write it differently - that’s what I think, at least

Anon said:Maybe the reason Baku raises his voice so often is because he can’t hear very well, which isn’t due to his explosions, rather, he was born with bad hearing to protect him from taking damage by them.. and then his other senses are sharper to even it out, and his body can even subconsciously notice air vibrations, resulting in really fast reflexes.

Ah, this is also another reason why I’m not a huge fan of the headcanon - don’t get me wrong! If you like it then go on, I’m not trying to stop anyone from enjoying ideas and possibilities!! But personally I like Bakugou not having any reason to be loud-mouthed and rude, that’s just his personality and how the environment he grew up in made him, and lately I’ve seen the hc used to justify his behaviour more than I like? Bakugou being an asshole is just who he is, and I love it! I love that his life made him like that and I love that he’s working hard to fix that flaw, giving him an external reason, something he has no control over, to justify his personality changes the core of his character too much, and that’s not something I’d ever want to do tbh

And it’s also cool to think that he was somewhat genetically engineered to be better in a fight to compensate for a lack of earing (though again, why only his ears and not his eyes or his sense of tact too), but that goes to cut on all the hard work he put in becoming as good as he is, right? If that’s what you like than who am I to stop you! But Bakugou’s hardworking nature is one of the things I love about him, I don’t really feel like taking away from him all the effort and work he put through the years in becoming as good as he is now

Anon said: Kiri’s grades suddenly getting sky high after Baku started kissing his cheek for every correct answer

Kirishima: “OKAY NEXT CHAPTER LET’S GO”

Bakugou: “the fuck, no, we’re done, that’s how far we went in cla–”

Kirishima: “GOING A BIT AHEAD CAN’T BE A PROBLEM CAN IT”

Anon said: Kiri is seriously talented at dirt doodles

lmao it’s just stickmen hahaha

Anon said:aww your miri/tama collage is so precious! have you considered doing something like that for kiri/ kami as well? those boys are in desperate need of some love.. totally understand if not! have a wonderful rest of your day/night :3

Uh, well, it’s not like I “haven’t considered” doing it, but more than a collage it’s… just how I always draw? Only usually I cut the pics for each of them to be a different image so they’re easier to see, while yesterday I was too lazy to do that and left them all on the same canvas haha so I guess yeah next time I’ll feel like drawing krkm if you’d like I can leave the drawings all in one pic, that’s just less work for me after all lol

Anon said:Ahhhhhh~ I had had… Such a need for miritama after that chapter and I couldn’t find anything w the right feel or anything and ??? Then you just??? Bless you thank you they look wonderful and so so soft and happy and I’m just !!!

AHHHH!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I’m glad you liked them :O

Anon said:thank you good lord you’re gonna help me get out of the depressive spiral chapter 152 has put me into

BOI ANON DON’T I FEEL YOU it’s why I drew those to being with hahaha

Anon said:DUDE YOUR PINING KIRISHIMA GOT ME DEAD HOLY FUCK SO PURE SO AWESOME 10/10

Anon said: I just recently became obsessed with MomoJirou because it’s an incredible ship and I can’t get enough and then you give us these adorable drawings of them? I cry

Anon said:fran….your girls…… they’re so good……..

Anon said:I love how you drew Momo 😍

Anon said:FRAN THANK YOU FOR THE MOMOJIROU CONTENT I LOVE IT I LIVE FOR IT I HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF MOMOJIROU FOR SO LONG AND NOW I CAN SEE SOME BEAUTIFUL ART OF THEM IN YOUR STYLE WHICH MAKES IT TEN TIMES BETTER THANK YOU

AAAAHHHHHHHHH BOI THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I’m ??? so glad you guys liked them???? Momo is so hard to get a grasp on for me, it makes me happy to know I did her right!!!!

Anon said:What do you think about futakuchi? xox

He’s my fav in Dateko!!!! Also one of my two biggest #same in Haikyuu haha (the other’s Kuroo lol)

Anon said: I haven’t seen semi on your blog for a while? ;)

That’s 100% most probably because there hasn’t been any haikyuu on my blog for a while, I’d say :O

Anon said:You keep drawing… So many soft things I’m in love… momojirou is so sweet it cleared my skin (and !!! I know you said you have no idea how to draw her but she looks wonderful and I loved it!!) And pining Kiri his face at the end??? Saved me. And STUDY DATE I CAN’T FORGET tbh baku looked so good esp the way you drew him kiri I Understand. Anyways you’re a blessing and I hope you have a lovely day!!!

God anon….. you just go……….. and slay me like this……. how am I supposed to deal………………………. (ilu)

Anon said:Does the Octopus Team still exist? I was scrolling through Shouji tags and saw the art.

I’m not sure what this ask means :O like, are you asking me if I’ll ever draw them together again? Because tbh that one doodle sort of just… happened while I was doing something else……… oops….

Anon said:Is it just me or are you getting more and more notes a lot quicker? Bc congrats my friend

:O thanks!!! But to be fair I think more than on my art this is mostly on the Bakushima becoming a much more popular ship, lately! The anime will do that haha

Anon said: I literally check your blog multiple times every day to see if you’ve posted anything new, your art just makes me so happy??? Like it could literally be bakugou as an orange and kirishima as a strawberry and I would reblog it faster than lightning and stare at it for five mins. Your style is just so nice and it like…. flows well?? Is really clean??? IDK HOW TO DESCRIBE IT MY DUDE but BASICALLY i love everything you do and thanks for blessing us with all the cute kiribakus and bokuroo :))

sob thank you ;O; so much ;O; holy shit ;O; ;O;

Anon said:So I’m new to the BNHA fandom and you’re probably the first artist I stumbled across but I am HOOKED. I love your bakushima A LOT and your headcanons are so perfect I get so hype when I see them on my dashboard *v* Do you ever think about what would happen if Bakugou’s family found out about his new relationship? Do you think they would love Kirishima? (Of course they would it’s impossible not to). I imagine that would be an interesting scenario!!

I’m 100% sure Mitsuki would be like “HOW THE FUCK did you manage to get such a nice kid to like you” but when we’re being honest Masaru is a super sweet man married with a firecracker too so does she have any right to talk? Nope, she does not 

And thank you so much for the compliments!!!! :O this fandom is super full of talented and nice people, I hope you’ll have a great time in it!

Anon said:Dude like mate honey love bunch bro man,,,,, YOUR FR*CKING ART!!!! SO H*CKING GOOD???? BAKUKIRI (cries because I love them so f*dging much) LOOK SO GOOD IN YOUR ART STYLE? SO PURE! WHOLESOME!!! I just went through your art tag for the last hour and I love everything. Kirishima is my FAVE I LOVE HIM!!!$ and the Baku squad mm mmmmmm good shiz right there. AND YUUJIIIIII AND BOKKUROOOOO AND THE VOLTRON AU!!!! Honestly we have such similar tastes ah. Anyway I’m running out of words love you fran xox

HOLY HECK I LOVE YOU A LOT TOO ANON!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE KIND WORDS!!!!!!!!

Anon said:Kirishima and bakugo furiously (not mad just intense) making out I know what your thinking but please give it a try

I mean the idea isn’t something I mind at all, but drawing this sort of things requires a specific mood for me which isn’t easy to come by and more often then not when I do draw that sorta stuff I don’t finish nor post it? So in general that’s not the type of things I’ll draw as a suggestion, sorry orz

Anon said: Whenever I see a new post from you but it’s reblogged I immediately go to your original post so I can read your tags. I love them so much!

Heck !!!!! I’m glad you enjoy my nonsense? hahaha

Anon said:*whispers* hey hey…. kiribaku hide and seek got any thoughts on that

Are you asking about one against the other or hiding together? …either way I can only see that ending in disaster and explosions ngl lol

Anon said:It came to my mind after reading your last comic that Baku usually dresses up pretty nice¿? Its canon that his family works for the fashion industry and his costume is SO EXTRA™, we never really see him in cringey or weird clothing (please correct me if I’m wrong (?)) but I still like the idea of him having lots of skull/punk tees and struggling to find normal stuff lol

Wouldn’t call them cringey or weird, but it is canon that every time we’ve seen him out of his costume/uniform in the manga he’s worn either plain black tees/tank tops or t-shirts with skulls on them :O that’s actually his canon style, I wasn’t taking a wild guess back there haha

Anon said:I miss your art on my feed on the days you don’t art. So I scroll through your old posts whenever that happens. (This is not a plea or pressure for you to do anything more often btw. You make so much amazing art and contribute so much to this fandom. I love going back and looking at all your art. We are not worthy!) I literally can’t think about Kiribaku and the Bakusquad without thinking of your art.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you!!!!! Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;O; 

Anon said:Cons of Kirishima being the protagonist of MHA: He would constantly be hurting himself and making us as the audience suffer in the worst way. Pros: if the recent chapters are anything to go by, he would be /very very pretty/ by now due to how much he’s been beaten up

I still prefer him healthy and happy tho ｡ﾟ(*´□`)ﾟ｡ once in a hospital bed is enough for me //sob

Anon said:I can’t describe how happy these deathstar doodles made me?? Your art is top notch as always but you drawing one of my all time favorite ships when there’s so little content for them gave me strenght for the next 57 years, thank you sm!!! And have a good day!!

Anon said:Ahhh you have no idea how much of a blessing it is to see deathstar in your artttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!! I love you so muchhhhhh!!!

I’M!!! HAPPY!!! YOU GUYS LIKED THOSE!!!!! I never understood why there was so little content for them tbh, like??? Okay the anime didn’t reach any of The Good Stuff for them and most fans never read the manga, but the manga makes them such an obvious ship?? So good so right so healthy and supportive and beautiful b o y rereading that manga gave me a lot of feelings bless the two of them ｡：ﾟ(｡ﾉω＼｡)ﾟ･｡

Anon said:Oh my god, I was just looking through like all your art and I realized how much you’ve improved. Like oh my god you’re fantastic, all your art looks so great. I mean this as a compliment and that’s you’ve improved a lot and you’re so great. ❤️❤️

THANK YOU OH BOY (●´□`)♡ this means…………….so much…………. gahh

Anon said:i got so busy with college apps and entrance exams that I stopped watching the anime around the intern time and I stopped reading the manga around about the time sun eater faces off against those guys. man I have so much to catch up on but I still don’t have much time at all. all I know is Mirio is being an angel and I’m at peace with that.

Mirio………… is such a good boy……………….. he deserves so much more…………….. so much better………………….. o

Criminal Minds s04e08 Masterpiece - or that episode where I realize that Jason Alexander can also be a dramatic actor :O

Episode 08 – Masterpiece

Hey guys! So last time we were introduced to Henry Lamontagne! So happy! He’s so cute! Also, apparently Jordan is now officially taking over JJ’s post till she comes back from maternity leave … god, I have a bad feeling about this.

Let’s just see what happens.

I don’t like this.

I don’t like this at all.

There are bugs (the insects), and cameras, and then underground forgeries. That look like they belong in the Louvre, but I don’t get it.

I’m so confused here.

“Most of us have done extensive post-graduate work in areas such as abnormal psychology and sociology, as well as intensive study of relative case work and existing literature …”

“But that’s after selection to the unit. First you have to be an agent, work in the field, and that’s what we’re here to talk about.”

Aw, my poodle and Rossi are giving a seminar.

Wait. Is that Jason Alexander or am I conditioned to assume that any fat Jewish guy with a round face that looks like the moon is George Costanza?

“What did you study?”

“Criminal justice. But sports appreciation was all full up at my community college.” Oh my god, I love you so much, Rossi, he got his degree from a community college??? SO AMAZING!

“I hold doctorates in chemistry, mathematics, and engineering, as well as B.A’s in psychology and sociology.”

Oh my god!

“How old are you?” Oh my god! “Uh, I’m 27. As of last month, I turned 27.”

I love you, Spencer!

“I’m – I’m also completing an additional BA in philosophy. Which reminds me that I have a joke.”

“How many existentialist does it take to screw in a light bulb?”

Rossi whispering: “Don’t.”

“Two. One to change the light bulb and one to observe how it symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of cosmic nothingness.”

Oh god, that was hilarious!

How can no one but me and Spencer get it????

“Um, an existentialist would …”

“Okay, before he does his quantum physics knock-knock joke …”

Oh god, I actually had to pause this cuz I laughed so fucking hard.

Oh my god, this show is literally the best thing out there. I don’t know why people at my job diss this.

Maybe cuz I’ve gone back in time, and it’s in season thirteen in the real world, but I don’t give a shit.

Their silence after the guy ask if they shot anybody. Oh my god.

Ha. Jordan is messing up. You can’t top JJ, sweetie.

Whoa. Derek just stepped to the rescue? I love you, but back off. You need to go to Penelope, baby.

Whoa. He’ll call the guy personally? Awesome.

Hey! Whoa! Back off bitch!

My angelface was just trying to help you, and you go after him like he just stepped on your turf like you’re in some West Side Story bullshit flick? Uh-uh. Back off.

Whoa. Okay. That just came off gangster. I’m sorry.

I’m a white girl from Israel, whose only connection to anything remotely “African” is that my late grandfather came from Egypt. Sorry, guys.

“Well, from now on, Supervisory Special Agent Morgan, if I need your help, I’ll ask.”

Bitch.

I really don’t like Jordan Todd. Not one bit.

“You do know we want them to actually join the bureau?” “What?”

“Existentialism?” oh god, Rossi making fun of Reid is the funniest thing ever.

And did that girl just seriously try to hit on Reid? Wow.

“I tell them I shouldn’t – they keep on sending me here.”

Oh my god.

“Wouldn’t they sit in the dark and hope that the bulb decided to light again?” “Excuse me?”

Yeah, excuse you, dude with a girl’s hair.

“An existentialist would never change the bulb. He would allow the darkness to exist.”

And that is definitely Jason Alexander and my excitement level just skyrocketed for this episode.

Reid’s impressed face, and Rossi’s all like, oh shit, who’s that guy? I’ll never get him down from the tree after this bozo.

So the guy lathers him with flattery, and is like, “I wanna show you something” and Reid’s like, sure.

And a second earlier Rossi was looking at his watch and he’s like, dude, we don’t have time for this shit. Come on.

Wait. Why did he just hand them a dossier with seven homicide victims’ pictures? What’s going on?

Wait. I’m sorry. But I can’t take Jason Alexander seriously if my life depended on it, yet here he is in one of, what I am assuming, his rare dramatic roles. What the fuck? How can you cast that shlump in a dramatic series? I’m dying here.

Acid?

“Are you saying that you killed these women?”

Wait what?

“There is still time to save the others, though.” WHAT?

“Others?”

“Five more.”

Oh my fucking god.

This just became the most awesome episode ever.

HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I FREAKING LOVE JASON ALEXANDER???? BECAUSE I FUCKING DO!

Mark Twain: “Let us consider that we are all insane. It will explain us to each other. it will unriddle many riddles.”

Have I also mentioned that I fucking love Mark Twain? BECAUSE I DO!

“You’re my boss, correct?”

Er. Yes. But why are you being so aggressive, bitch?

“I report to you.”

Yup.

“Has my job performance been to your satisfaction, sir?”

“It seems fine.”

And yet you bitched at my honeybuns, so back off.

“And if it weren’t to your satisfaction, you’d tell me?”

No, I’d kick your tiny badonkadonk out of here.

“I can promise you that.”

“Because I can do this job.”

Nope.

“I’m sorry, has somebody suggested that you can’t?”

And lady, better check yourself, before I wreck yourself. Hey! No need to be a bitch to Prentiss, she only said hi.

“I’m missing the coroner’s supplemental for victim 3.”

“That’s supposed to come in this afternoon. I just turned that in last night. When do you sleep?”

I’m with Prentiss here.

Hahahah oh my god, I’m so with Hotch on this one, even to me it sounds ridiculous that he turned himself in and challenged Reid and Rossi. Lol.

Oh my god, David Rossi said “Something hinky”.

“It’s obviously tank girl.”

“Tank girl?” “Absolutamundo.”

Shit. Lynch is back. I hoped they broke up. Fuck.

“Is she even a good guy?” WHAT?

Lynch the Bitch, listen to yourself, ‘she’ and ‘guy’ don’t go in the same sentence, you idiot.

“Um, A. She’s not a guy at all. Big plus.”

“B. She is all about wild hair dye, flatulence, nose picking, spitting, explosive vomiting, occasional random sex, and more than occasional drunkenness.”

“And she has a tank.”

“And that, mon ami, is girl power.”

You said it, lady.

“Superman can fly.”

SO WHAT?

Oh god, this is going to be long. Fuck.

I’m so sorry, guys! Apologizing in advance.

“Thank you for the help with the … uh … stuff thing.”

See, that’s why I hate Lynch the Bitch, he’s trying to be all smooth, but it ain’t natural, and he’s trying to lie about being there, when everyone knows they���re together. And he’s being a douche. Fuck you.

“Kevin, you don’t have to lie.” See?

“Possible?”

Yup, your gorgeous ears heard correctly, lady.

“Kevin?”

“Yes, sir?”

“She’s busy now.” So get the fuck out.

So he isn’t a professor at the university they lectured at okay.

“Your degree in philosophy surprises me, Dr. Reid. It doesn’t fit with mathematics and engineering.”

“I kind of like it because there’s no right or wrong answers.”

“Without right or wrong, how would we recognize perfection?”

What?

“Are you having fun?”

“It’s quite a bit more complicated than that.”

How?

“You wouldn’t understand.” “Try me.”

Hey! Not nice, Jason! Why assume Rossi’s an airhead?

“I’ve read your books, David. You’re not of the intellectual capacity to grasp what’s going on here.”

WHAT? Oh my god, that was one major burn.

“If you’re trying to piss me off, it’s not gonna work. But if you killed seven women without leaving a trace of evidence, why turn yourself in?”

So much for ‘not of the intellectual capacity to grasp what’s going on here’ XD

“Imagine what the world would have missed if Da Vinci never showed his work.”

So he sees himself as an artist? Oh god, I wanna barf.

“Hey, how’s it going?”

“Why?”

FUCK YOU BITCH!

I’m about to slap that bitch in the face so hard, her brown, gorgeous skin would literally turn purple. I’m not kidding.

Fuck. The five Jason mentioned were the daycare lady and the four kids. Fuck.

“Are you pissed off yet, David?”

Oh god, I love this man so much, even if he’s the bad guy here.

“It’s not your fault, you know. Your IQ is your IQ. It’s not education, David, it’s genetics.” Oh my god, does he ever stop?

“What’s this?”

“I need to explain what a pendant it?” “What does it mean?”

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you.”

“You have the right to have an attorney present. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.”

“Do you understand your rights …”

And then Jason keeps on interrupting to make fun of Rossi and provoke him. Love it.

BAM.

“Do you understand your rights?”

He doesn’t want a lawyer? Oh boy.

“Harming a person weaker than you doesn’t take any special ability.”

“Neither does slamming your fist down on a table.”

WHOA.

“Bring Dr. Reid back with you.”

Now you’re making demands?

“I never have any normal fans.”

Oh honey.

“This guy loves the attention.” Ahem.

“He has a god complex.”

Well, that’s true.

“We need a button to push.”

Oh god, I love it when the real good actors get to be the most prominent. Amazing.

What’s reverse profiling?

“From the unsub to the victim.”

Oh boy.

Crap. Morgan didn’t get anything. Fuck.

“You have to be fingerprinted to be a teacher.” Why?

Sounds sketchy.

“What kind of professor doesn’t teach?”

“A researcher? Someone on a grant, maybe.”

God, I hate that woman.

“There must be some sort of central grant database. I can’t imagine the government just handing out money and not ….” Looks around. “I’ll look into it.”

I love you!

“Psychopath.”

To say the least.

“Be nice to them.” HA.

Wait. Did Hotch just pair up Morgan and Jordan? FUCK.

Ah. So Rossi is a genius. He wants to play with Reid’s mind, so they’re not gonna let him have what he wants. Awesome.

“Ok, how far could he have gone from Loretto and make it back to Fredericksburg by noon? There must be some sort of mathematical equation to do this.”

“Should have paid more attention in algebra.”

“Note to self, get Dr. Reid in here ASAP.”

I love you so much.

An incoming email?

Oh shit.

Penelope just got an email with a video of the victim. Fuck.

“You have something going on more important than me?”

“My dry cleaning is more important than you.”

Oh burn.

“I think you’re just a big-mouth wannabe who doesn’t have the guts to do anything at all about this.”

LOL

Wait. Did he just admit he was at it for five years? DAMN.

Did he just flinch away from Prentiss?

“A god like you doesn’t have a problem with women, does he?”

Oh crap.

They got him.

“Hiding in the weeds like a snake.”

Yup.

When it comes to women, he’s just a nervous bunny.

“Rules?”

Oh boy.

“Two o’clock.”

“And then there were four.”

WHAT?

Wait what?

“Every two hours, one of them will die.”

SHIT.

“Is there something else I need to know?” “Only that I’m rooting for you, David.”

Oh, Jason is a GENIUS actor! Fuck! He’s literally scaring the shit out of me.

And yes, I’m aware that I’m only 20 minutes into the episode. And no, I’m not sorry for making this the fucking longest review ever.

“There were four when I went to go get you.” Fuck.

“Well, maybe the gas provides another purpose.”

“Such as?”

Oh my innocent honeybun.

“It’s a chess game, he’s two moves ahead.” Shit.

Wait. David thinks he’s making progress? Then that’s good, right?

Hey! Whoa!

David. Calm down.

Hotch was just making a suggestion. Not a slight at your intelligence. Baby, relax.

Calmate.

Yeesh. Chillax.

I really don’t like Jordan. I really fucking don’t.

She just puts herself apart from the team and it’s not right.

And then Morgan tries to show her that she is now, and it’s fucking driving me insane, because she’s one bitch that I can’t stand. And I don’t normally do this to members of the FBI who join the team. Well, okay, I did it with Lynch, but once again, only because he was in my ship’s way.

“Do you know that I was born with an extra y chromosome?”

So?

“It means… I was born to be a killer.”

WHAT?

That makes no sense.

No wonder Rossi finds this funny.

“That’s junk science, a joke. It was debunked years ago.” I love you, Rossi.

“If those people die, it’s because you chose to make it happen.”

Word to mouth!

So that lady is an airhead, like I assumed.

Morgan just talked to her in the car, and she took nothing from it? REALLY?

He wants to talk to the husband, because men respond better to men. It’s basic. Ugh.

Hells yeah. It’s a fucking weird position to leave toys in.

My lovely genius.

“I know where to find them.”

WHOA!

“It’s an irrational number known as ‘phi’.”

“It’s based on the ratio of line segments to each other and of the whole.”

What?

“It’s called the golden ratio.”

“Golden rat.”

Yup. That’s the website.

“It’s a ratio found all through life. In fact, many people that we find conventionally attractive are proportioned based on that ratio.”

Damn.

“He made a reference to Leonardo Da Vinci, remember this?”

“Da Vinci used it in a lot of his paintings. As matter of fact, the Last Supper …”

“Reid, Reid, how do we find them?”

Yup. Hotch once again stopping my genius poodle’s tirade of infinite knowledge to get to the point XD

“The whole concept is represented by this pendant, including the logarithmic spiral created using a Fibonacci sequence. Follow me on this.” XD

“He’s subconsciously counting off the Fibonacci sequence in his head over and over again.”

Oh crap.

I love it when Spencer goes off on explanations that eventually prove he’s the most genius of geniuses to ever genius this earth, and then they find the victims.

WHOO!

Whoa. Hey. Hotch is taking Reid and Prentiss? Not Rossi? Weird.

“There’s still something bugging me about this.”

Why?

“Do you know what homo sapiens sapiens mean? It means man, wise, wise …”

“We named ourselves doubly wise.” Wow.

“Humans are a blight.”

What? “You hate humanity?”

“Every bit as much as you do.” What?

I’m really confused here. It was all because Rossi’s books mentioned that there is pure evil out there? Oh dear.

“Any man who feels that the only way to have power or purpose is to hurt others deserves pity.”

Wow.

“You may have your vengeance, as I am about to have mine.”

WHAT?

“They’re never going to make it out of that house, David.”

Oh dear.

“It is about your team.”

WHAT? NO!

Fuck you, asshole!

“The minute they stepped into that house, they were dead.”

Oh god no.

“You lose.”

Oh god.

Oh shit. The man Rossi called “the face of pure evil” is actually that fucker’s brother? Oh god.

So he had a fiancé, who broke it off with him, because of that fucking brother. Oh boy.

“Vengeance.”

Oh god.

“I killed twelve people, ‘cause of you.”

Wow. Okay, this review is long, and the finale is going to be long too. Prepare thyself.

“You took my family. I take yours.”

Oh dear.

“Did you get all that?” WHAT?

“Every word, boss.”

Oh snap!

They fucking recorded him! Oh my god.

Wait. Hold up. So they knew it was all a ruse? Reid figured out everything? They saved Kaylee and the kids? Derek is still alive? Oh thank fucking fuck!

“You’ll only face murder charges on the original seven women.”

“With no evidence.”

‘Yeah. You, uh, mentioned that when we first met, that we would never be able to get you on those. But I think you’ll discover that the videotaped confession has the power to move a lot of jurors.” BOOM.

YOU DO NOT SNEAK UP ON ROSSI!

Crazy Henry. Ugh.

“I’m going to be there when they strap you down for that lethal injection. And just before they hit the plunger, I’m going to lean in really close and tell you to say hello to your scumbag brother.” DAMN.

So Jordan apologizes to Derek, and he takes the blame? OH MY GOD THIS MAN IS IMPOSSIBLE!

Oh my god, this woman is driving me up the walls! Someone kick her in the shins!

“This is going to be interesting.”

Uh, no, poodle. It’s going to be annoying as fuck.

Jason looks so majestic here. Even though he’s being led to the execution. Damn.

Martin Luther King Jr.: “Man must evolve for all human conflict; a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”

LOVELY!

Okay. Whew. That was fucking intense. Holy shit.

Okay, so first off the bat, I HATE JORDAN TODD SO MUCH! Just had to put it out there.

Now, about Jason Alexander, holy shit that man is amazing, I can’t believe such an actor actually exists, where he can be this genius comedian on the one hand, and then this brilliantly dramatic actor who can assume any persona of the role he’s undertaking, and it was just breathtaking to watch him and Joe Mantegna working together. I was literally on the edge of my seat.

I literally cannot wait to see what else this season has in store.

So, I’m gonna cut this short, because this review has just exceeded the 3,000 word mark, and that is seriously long – I haven’t written fanfiction chapters this long in a while. Yikers.

So, I’ll leave it here, say THANK YOU because you are all amazeballs. And enjoy the photos that didn’t make it into the post above XD

[theclaravoyant]

Huntingbird for the ship ask

lol these two… (send me a ship)

who hogs the duvet

Hunter. He moves around a lot more when he sleeps than Bobbi does. Plus, what can he say, he’s a fan of not freezing his ass off.

who texts/rings to check how their day is going

Bobbi sometimes contacts Hunter to see if he’s alive, but Hunter has always been the more forward of the two when it comes to general expressions of love. Of course they often end up bickering and being annoyed (sometimes pretend, sometimes less pretend) but at least they know everything’s normal that way :)

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts

Bobbi. Hunter claims he’s tried but she’s too picky, to which Bobbi rolls her eyes, but yes, she is better than him at creative & impressive gifts. She listens to him more than he thinks she does.

who gets up first in the morning

Bobbi, because she believes in routine and exercise. Hunter can function in the morning when necessary, heck he’s a trained army man, but if he’s not being called to task by a drill sergeant the morning can pretty much get bent most of the time.

who suggests new things in bed

Hm, I think they have pretty even footing on this one. They’ve both lived some pretty adventurous lifestyles that might incline them to try ~new things~. I do feel like Bobbi initiates a lot of it though; I feel like she likes to challenge herself and experiment (ba dum tsh) while Hunter’s more of the “I’ll try anything once” kinda guy

who cries at movies

Neither of them are particularly comfortable with doing it and I think they can both shut themselves off if they’re getting too emotional, but if they’re feeling particularly safe and raw at the same time I think both or either of them could have a bit of a cry. They’ve been through some shit those two.

who gives unprompted massages

Hunter. He has nearly had his hand broken a couple of times so now he tries to make sure they’re not too unprompted, but he knows Bob is a stressed little bean and doesn’t like to make a big deal out of it, so he does what he can.

who fusses over the other when they’re sick

Bobbi. She likes the bragging rights of claiming that Hunter’s a whiny baby, but also, it’s something she ‘knows how to do’ where she feels she struggles with other displays of affection.

who gets jealous easiest

Ooh, that’s interesting. I think they both get jealous in different ways. Hunter knows their relationship has been unstable in the past so if Bobbi’s flirting/being flirted with or being secretive he can get a bit angry and insecure. Meanwhile, Bobbi knows she’s not as emotionally available as she feels like she should be, so if Hunter’s getting close to someone she sometimes struggles with that. I think Hunter’s comes out as more visibly jealous though.

who has the most embarrassing taste in music

Bobbi, probably? Hunter probably has a stable favourite collection of like, classic rock or something, while Bobbi’s music tastes are all over the place. That’s not to say she’s embarassed by it, but Hunter definitely is. Although they do both enjoy picking super cringeworthy songs for karaoke and cringing it up.

who collects something unusual

Neither of them collect much, but Hunter has a few pieces of religious iconography that nobody expects him to have.

who takes the longest to get ready

Bobbi. Lookin that fine while also being 500% ready to kick ass at all times takes some mad skill

who is the most tidy and organised

Bobbi. Neither of them have that much stuff, but Bobbi is also a scientist whose career has depended on her organisational skills. Hunter can make a bed in like 1 minute but in terms of general life skills, Bobbi.

who gets most excited about the holidays

Hunter. He’s always been a big fan of relaxing, and much better at it than Bobbi, so the holidays actually mean something to him whereas she carries her stress around so she doesn’t have as much fun sometimes.

who is the big spoon/little spoon

Bobbi’s usually the big spoon, bc she’s a squillion ft tall, but sometimes if she’s having a super hard time, Hunter’s the big spoon. He usually takes it seriously and everyone’s super soft and it’s great.

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports

BOBBI. OH MY GOD. I mean they both have a pretty strong competitive streak but Hunter also has major heart-eyes which can make him vulnerable to being distracted. Bobbi is on top of her game and she will kick whosever’s ass is necessary

who starts the most arguments

Hunter. Bobbi’s more of an “ugh, whatever” kind of person whereas Hunter has a strong sense of justice, a loud voice, and a sense of irritability like nobody’s business.

who suggests that they buy a pet

Hunter, and it’s a dog, and it’s a PTSD therapy dog, bc therapy dogs are awesome and they could totally both use one. As could their squad of pstd suffering friends.

what couple traditions they have

They always ‘celebrate’ their birthdays, even if they’re not together. If they’re especially pissed at each other, or on a mission, they may not actually contact the other person, but they always do a little something. On the other hand, they don’t celebrate anniversaries, bc their relationship is a mess and it’s impossible to keep track of.

Plus ofc “don’t die out there.”

what tv shows they watch together

Pretty much anything, it depends what they’re in the mood for. They’re a big fan of criticising stuff they watch though. And I don’t think Bobbi’s a huge fan of football/soccer.

what other couple they hang out with

FitzSimmons probably.

how they spend time together as a couple

Mostly trying not to die? They’re also big fans of sex, arguments (including the good kind, coz those do exist), cooking together and complaining about/false commentating/etc. movies.

who made the first move

Hmmmm Bobbi probably?

who brings flowers home

Hunter, mostly so that he can make “honey I’m home” jokes even when they live in super dangerous or otherwise non-domestic scenarios like say a secret military base underground

who is the best cook

Neither of them are amazing, they’re both pretty functional, but Hunter can make a few dishes really well, so I’d go with him.
