#technically a hc but just a funny observation

[oleander-nin]

I had a flight today and those give my anxiety so i wrote out a buncha hcs to try n distract myself you dont have to actually read these i just already have them and dont plan posting them anywhere: Mostly non yan because i couldnt think up much that hadnt already been said. Grammar a tad funky cuz i wrote these on my phone (☍﹏⁰)

Leo 100% scared Raph with that one car jumpscare video when they were kids

Mikey watches those stupid 3AM videos and probably thought Momo and various creepypastas were real when he was younger

Leo and Donnie are both really into FNAF, but Donnie has been unable to to beat any of the games and Leo cant figure out the lore (I know Leo is smart and Donnie is good at videogames but this is funny so I dont care)

I feel like Leo would write in a diary

^ He would scribble (crush name) Hamato with hearts around it in it, because he’s corny like that

Donnie listens to Hatsune Miku and nightcore

Donnie never grew out of needing glasses from when he was a kid he just refuses to wear them

Leo will try to do dad stuff with Casey jr like playing catch but Casey jr is older then him ( “Late teens to early 20s” so probably 17 at the youngest (I actually dont remember if that was the exact phrasing but something similar)) So it just ends up feeling goofy

This is an observation not a headcanon but Mikey is obviously physically the weakest and he throws like a whole skyscraper at the Krang I know they were made for war but jesus christ what was Draxum feeding them

Casey jr refused to grieve for anyone he had lost before coming to the pressent because theyre technically still here. He knows its not really the same and theyre still gone but has decided to ignore that

Yan Donnie would probably originally assume he was hyperfixated on whoever he was crushing on (I checked you can hyperfixate on people) and just be incredibly annoyed about it finding it real hard to actually focus on anything

Donnie has a bunch of online friends since its the only way he can really make friends and he’s chronically online

Yan Leo would probably get jealous of objects like if his crush was clinging onto some stuffed animal instead of him he would get mad

Raph had a gravity falls phase

Casey jr is incapable of doing standard everyday stuff and generally kinda sucks with anything non combay

Mikey’s favorite superhero is spiderman Donnie’s is batman Leo’s is deadpool and Raph’s is superman (not including in universe stuff)

Raph does not know how to cook at all he once burnt the water

The turtles(plus april maybe) all tried playing minecraft together and it ended in a lot of TNT

When they were kids Leo told Donnie that he was immune to pain and told Donnie to punch him so he could prove it Leo ended up with a bloody nose

this is another observation but in the movie when Leo almost slices kranifed Raph A you can see him sorta start to flicker back(i think havent seen the movie in a while and i dont have the wifi to check), which was probably intentional on the krang’s part for the last thing he’s consciously there for to be his brother killing him and B you can see Leo mouth ‘no’ as he realizes what he almost did

When Mikey was first starting out at art he was reaaaally bad at it awful anatomy, shading with black, ect ect obviously he’s really good now though

April introduced Casey go ice skating together on the weekends

Splinter will say stuff like “Skibidi rizz” much to everyones dismay

im away from home at the moment so you’ll probably get a break from my yapping for the next couple of weeks haha

-🍰

Ah, I hope your flight went good! I can relate, takeoff and landing gives me the heebie jeebies. Wishing you safe travels, SS Cake.

"Leo will try to do dad stuff with Casey jr like playing catch but Casey jr is older then him ( “Late teens to early 20s” so probably 17 at the youngest (I actually dont remember if that was the exact phrasing but something similar)) So it just ends up feeling goofy" - LMAOO I LOVE THAT

"Yan Leo would probably get jealous of objects like if his crush was clinging onto some stuffed animal instead of him he would get mad" - Yes yes yes, completely agree

"Raph had a gravity falls phase" - Probbles asked Donnie to help him with the codes/lore and such too

Sorry I didn't comment on them all😅 I love getting these but they're hard to answer because I don't know what to say lol. I loved reading these and I hope you have lots of fun on your trip. Stay safe!

[inevitablestars]

HEY LINDS this is my Official Attempt to sway you towards perciver i hope you like it and that it doesnt turn you off them forever, now first off!

general relationship potential:

percy and oliver are in the same year and as far as we know they are the only boys in gryffindor in their year which makes them not only roommates but also the only boys in their room. for seven years.

percy is incredibly misunderstood by his whole family pretty much always, they all avoid him or are rude to him or just misunderstand him completely. with oliver's proximity its very likely hes the first person ever in percys life to properly observe him and understand him!!!

percy is the most career driven singleminded ambitious motherfucker in gryffindor.... second only to oliver!!! who is the most quidditch obsessed bitch on this planet and arguably has more solid career goals of anyone in that entire series. they are hyperfocused! they are girlbossing! they are not getting a wink of sleep bc they both get so lost in their work they forget what time is!

classic jock/nerd combo except oliver is a jock who is secretly a nerd (think of all the quidditch stats!!) and percy is a nerd who is secretly a jock (percy is a master spellcaster and nobody can convince me otherwise, that man fought multiple death eaters on his own at the battle of hogwarts and you do not get that kind of skill from just sitting behind a desk)

idk theres honestly a lot of directions one could take them but theyve just got so much chemistry and so much in common but also different and theyve got so much potential

(in my head they are the definition of autism/adhd solidarity but i know that not everyone hcs them that way which is cool too)

now for fic recs!!!

Twenty-nine - 85k - Endrina

percy weasley-centric fic that is honestly one of the most creative interpretations of him ive ever read, it goes deep into his past and his canonic decisions and stuff but theres a twist to it that is just gold, also its a whodunit where oliver's been framed for murder and only percy knows hes innocent its very very good and definitely played a huge part in me falling in love w percy's character

A New Life - 89k - AnotherAuthor, myroaringtwenties

percy and oliver meet post-war and help each other get their lives moving forward again, its very well written and very sweet but mind the tags its kinda heavy at points, it doesnt shy away from how hard the war was on everyone but the community that the weasleys and the quiddich players have is very warm and i love it

At least he has great abs - 12k - Irisen

this one is a cute shorter nonmagic soulmate au where oliver is a famous footballer and percy is a politician and they end up being soulmates, its very funny and light and i just enjoy it

(also i am technically writing a perciver fic rn its called Rely On Me and the first two chapters are up on ao3 but its my first fic attempt and i havent updated it all summer bc Life so pls dont feel obligated to read it i just felt like it would be weird if i didnt mention it)

anyway! i hope you enjoyed this if nothing else and if you read these or find other perciver fics or just wanna talk about em lmk bc i am always down to talk perciver i love them with my whole heart and soul <3

josephine hello. is this from literally ten months ago? perhaps it is. but i'm here now.... you mentioned perciver earlier and it reminded me that this has been sitting in my inbox for SO LONG

alright let's get into this

• iconic of them to be alone in a dorm for seven years together that already screams soulmates

• you're so right these two get their minds set on something and they're going to get it they're going to achieve whatever they want (tbh i already think they should put that energy toward like Getting Together but i distress)

• nerd jocks! a slay tbh

• i see the autism adhd thing i get it

• i also think like yeah i agree they have a lot in common when you dig into them but from one glance it's like ? these two? really? but then you see who they are at their core and it's like oh of course how could you think anything else (i have a lot of characters and dynamics that this sorta concept applies to i get it)

also love the inclusion of fic recs which i will check out when i am back to reading <3 consider myself convinced (it did not take much you already convinced me by just sending this ask)

[biscuitsofthesevenseas]

Ima just drop the rest of these rewrite ideas (Credits too @sonicfan1837 for writing some of these)

I HC that Sea Fairy is Black/White Pearl & the rest of the Gem Mermaid's mother, so it'd make no sense for her to abandon them, so she's gonna help, only to get frozen under the curse. That way, she isn't indirectly the reason Black Pearl became...well...herself

The St Pastry Order isn't thrown away like dirt and is a vital part of the Odyssey storyline (With the white masks and shit)

Pastry Cookie joins the Cookies of Darkness after learning the truth of their “gods” (The witches)  

All of the Beast Cookies have their own version of the Dark Side of the Moon to talk to their Soul Jams new holders (The most funny one being Eternal Sugar randomly falling asleep because shes the Beast of Sloth and Hollyberry having to wake her up to communicate with her)

The Beasts are much more relevant instead of being randomly thrown in during Beast Yeast and never being mentioned before that 

SEA FAIRY ISN'T A SIMP FOR THE MOON (she still likes her, but doesn't go as far as she did during A Mermaids Tale)

SEA FAIRY ALSO DOES HER GOSH DARN JOB AS A PART OF THE ELEMENTAL COOKIES-

All of the Beasts were created from the personality Witches from Witches Castle (Mystic Four was made by the Witch of Order, Shadow Milk was made by the Witch of Logic, Burning Spice was made by the Witch of Aspiration, Silent Salt was made by the Witch of Observation, Eternal Sugar was made by the Witch of Happiness)

There are good witches and bad witches, the bad witches ate the Cookies and enabled the Beasts to destroy everything, and the few good witches locked them away (BECAUSE FUCK THE BULLSHIT THAT THEY WERE ONCE GOOD, NO) 

The witches basically got FUCKED during the Salem Witch Trials, so uhh…yeah, they’re dead 

Gingerbrave & the others tell the truth instead of hiding it from everyone 

DOOMED YURI!! (Aka abyss monarch and aquamarine+more doomed yuri ships I can’t think of)

MORE DADDY-I MEAN DARK CACAO ANGST

Smoked Cheese & Burnt Cheese are brother and sister (yes I hc SC as transfem, ok?) 

Golden Cheese & Smoked Cheese actually talk things out, and Smoked Cheese is NOT the villain 

The Beasts are stuck in separate prisons across the lands they once ruled over. Burning Spice laid in the Great Destroyer's Tomb, Mystic Flour hid in her cocoon, and Shadow Milk was trapped in a tree.  

As for Eternal Sugar, she’s inside one of her clouds, and Silent Salt is trapped in the Bottomless Pit 

Oh you thought Dark Cacao & Dark Choco was the only angsty family we got? Hell no. Capsacian angst with Burning Spice baybeeeeeeeee (I know it would be ancestry, but who says it can't be a fucked up mother/father and son reunion?) 

Since the Beasts are treated as Eldric gods, they often get offerings at their prisons. This is based on a hc of mine. 

EVERYONE WHO GOT A FAKEOUT DEATH ACTUALLY DIES FOR REAL (Ex: The Christmas gnome guy and Frilled Jellyfish) (Only one exempt from this rule is Sherbert since technically he’s still dead)

Speaking of which, Sherbert is basically the messenger of the Elemental Guardians 

Faeries and Gem Mermaids are creatures of Cookie Mythology 

I actually agree with some of these, and they could help patch up some of the big a d gaping plot holes in cr storylines.

Thanks for dropping these!

(a continuation of the other post bc Gotta Ramble About Trees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! said me, #1 Irminsul Fan Since Day 1 Of This God Damn Game-)

tonitonis vs nahidie vs rhukkie

i hc the difference between the two tonis and Nahida is this:

the two tonis know exactly what they are to Irminsul - they are human-originating, independent branches of the great tree.

due to their initial circumstances of gaining its favor (revival and op powers) in exchange for serving it, Irminsul as the entity views the two as branches of itself. however, technically speaking, the two are not literal parts of Irminsul, more "grafted" with a portion of itself.

Nahida, while being a pure branch of Irminsul, was expressly "cut off" from Irminsul to prevent her from being contaminated from the get-go by forbidden knowledge by Rhukkadevata - and even then, this truth was erased with the retconning of world history, to Nahida "simply having amnesia due to using up all of her powers during the Calamity" rather than being a separate successor.

as such, while Nahida has the abilities to interface with Irminsul much like the two tonis, she is not considered a "part" of Irminsul - both literally and as per the Irminsul etntity. she is her own, essentially very small and independent tree.

as such, Nahida is not bound by Irminsul's rules for itself or its proxies. neither does she have (immediate; she can learn, with time) access to the tree's more esoteric secrets.

now, the difference between the tonis and Rhukkadevata:

Rhukkadevata had similar conditions as the tonis - she was, after all, Irminsul's avatar at the time. to be precise, she was a part of Irminsul's mess of a clusterfuck personality that wanted to and did intervene in the world.

her focus was the betterment of the world - the desire and the hope that Irminsul's power and knowledge could lead to greater happiness and prosperity for the people that carved the history Irminsul watches. the idea that non-intervention, while alright, was the lesser step to take. that it would simply be better to lend its presence to the world that Irminsul, somewhere, surely did love.

in other words, she was a true part of Irminsul - both biologically and to the Irminsul entity - who was given a free pass on ignoring Irminsul's baseline restrictions.

biased? cheating? maybe. lmao. whoever said irminsul was fair and impartial all the way through its long existence, huh? to have a sense of ego means the capability of being egoistic, after all.

nonetheless, Rhukkadevata didn't want to go overboard and just dump every bit of advanced and esoteric knowledge on the world. she truly hoped to encourage the joy and discipline of learning, of the richness of gaining wisdom itself. you could say as such that she was hand-holding humanity as it learnt to walk - helping surely, but ultimately, the effort of standing and putting one foot forward after another was from the people itself. she gave her knowledge (cheat codes) only when the people were truly stumped.

also, on the hypothetical premise rhukka is still around in the same room as the tonis - yes, the tonis are sorta subservient to rhukka in status. not by a whole lot, but still lol

DAINSLEIF THE TWLIGHT SWORD AKA THIS YOUNG MAN THINKS HE'S OLD? LOL HAHA WATCH THIS SAID TINY TONI SLAMMING 100000 YEARS OF KNOWLEDGE INTO THEIR HEAD-

not much info on dainsleif is around currently so this is PURELY 10000% hc and speculation based

specifically, the idea that dainsleif has merged with irminsul in some fashion.

if that's the case, dainsleif is in a very funny position of being Junior Leyline Intern to his senior tonitoni leyline gofers. well in my head he is anyway.

i like to think dainsleif tried to use the leylines to help with his curse, and got cool leyline powers and the ability to observe the world and it's history through it. but this wasn't necessarily bc Irminsul the entity actually determined so - more a case of dainsleif making use of the leylines, much in the same way man figures out how to cook meat with fire, combining whatever man-made or man-learnt knowledge there is towards an advancement.

aka in simpler words dainsleif just did some shit with the leylines and got some stuff out of it on his own. he's not considered a part of Irminsul and is not obligated to serve it.

that said, by being able to peer through the leylines, he's possibly aware of the two tonis and them having some kind of connection to the great tree.

tiny toni the harbingy vs tiny toni the irminsul gofer vs the world

you'd think Irminsul would be more pissed about Tonia being a Harbinger and using her Irminsul-gifted endurance and abilities for what essentially amounts to warmongering with Celestia - but tbh they don't care that much? lol

as previously noted, Irminsul doesn't care if people discover the secrets of the tree and might scientific advancements based on Irminsul - if they get to these things on their own, without Irminsul or its proxies giving away these things themselves.

as such, they will tolerate if civilizations learn to divine knowledge from the leylines and flourish upon the roots - they will tolerate if, say, Abyss Mages tend to take cuttings and sprouts of the tree for elemental usage they otherwise wouldn't have - if third-parties capitalize on the tree and its parts on their own, with their own hands and on their own two feet.

it's why they weren't too bothered when the younger Tonia was taken in by Dottore and experimented on - as long as she didn't say shit herself, didn't give away any knowledge or secrets, they were more or less turning a blind eye. Tonia, after all, is a "branch" of Irminsul. a part of it. that can be studied on, much less like any inanimate part of the tree. she just has the ability to walk and talk and think for herself, which Irminsul was only watching to see if she would leak anything she shouldn't.

callous? certainly. tho, not to say some part of Irminsul wasn't very offended by all of this - surely, some part of it was ragingly upset. remember, they aren't wholly nor perfectly cohesive in terms of having a mind of its own. however, if they were to do anything about it at this point, that would defeat the whole point of putting down a non-interventionist baseline for themselves.

that said, it would seem paradoxical for Irminsul to not care about what happens after - that Tonia had massacred hundreds in her futile jailbreak (one life has so many ripples as is), that she became a Harbinger after and leans on her Irminsul side for her duties. in a sense, it should seem like Irminsul is intervening in the world. she is, after all, paving history with Irminsul's powers.

Irminsul is aware the situation is more complicated for her - Tonia was and is still a young child, only ending up killing all those people due to being mentally out of it from being put through more duress than any normal person would. she was brought forward to the Tsaritsa as a possible tool and as a vulnerable child. none of this occurred with her as a servant and proxy of Irminsul itself.

Tonia's actions and choices that followed were not motivated nor based upon her connections to Irminsul. they were purely due to the girl's personal desires and interests, her human side and not the side that must be devoted to Irminsul.

at the very least, that is the argument that some parts of Irminsul - and her elder counterpart, who holds a fair amount of sway with Irminsul - make for the young girl.

so long as Tonia doesn't cause dramatic changes to the world in her role as Irminsul's servant - not as a person of Teyvat, not as a Harbinger - then fine, they can let things (barely) slide for now.

in any case, the younger Tonia is viewed funnily by Irminsul - as a serving branch at minimum, yes. but she's also considered something of an ineffective branch (has no real will to live, only doing her duties bc she simply has to), and requires putting some resources into being coddled (for the parts of Irminsul that advocate for tiny toni to do whatever she wants bc they don't like feeling regret and also that's a kid!!!! ya stupid heads have some heart and morals!!!!).

[diabolt]

having fun at the idea of syn learning about leviathan and belphegor being princes of devildom when in her hell, the seven deadly sin titles are earned.

[caffeineaddicted-noonie]

Hii! Sorry this has taken me, literally all day haha

But idk how to do this, so i guess I'll just start lol

So, some of my hobbies are writing (duh), reading, and riding my bike

For personality, i guess I'm pretty funny, I've been told I'm a leader, and I like to get stuff done quickly, and i have anxiety (ha! It sucks.)

My favorite color is blue, I love music, and i love animals, and my favorite animal is a shark

Idk if I did this right, but have fun with this :) and tell me if you need more haha

💖 It’s not a problem!

Here’s You and Jason Todd *cough* I ship- I Hope you like this, it is a bit short tho. Also, feel free to ask me to write anything about this ship (you and Jason I mean *cough*)

❤️ You’ve got anxiety? Don’t worry~ You have a personal teddy bear to cool it down! He was trained to be observant. very very observant. You don’t tell him that you have a problem? You dont need to call him to have a conforting cuddle session.

❤️ besides him veing observant, he’s pretty understanding. He gets what you feel since he has it too, so he knows what would make you feel better! He’ll get yourm your comfort food, put on your fav shows and just be by your side.

❤️ But tell him if your not in the mood for those things. Bc if you aren’t, you have three choices. One, you can talk to him about it. Two, he would just be by your side and give you love through physical touch. Three, he’ll give you some alone time if you really need it ;)

“It’s fine, I want you to take your time. Even if you need days, as long you promise me you’ll be fine in the end, I don’t mind. Also, I love you lots,” ah oof- he smiles before leaving.

❤️ Ok, he’ll race you with his motorbike. I know it seems unfair but seeing you pout slightly and argue how unfair he was as you lose is just- an adorable sight to see. He adores you personality sooo so much <3<3

Imagine him just smiling while you debate and argue. You knwo that smile where he also chuckles. That smile in highscool love dramas. The one where your heart just go WOWOoOWOWo

❤️ Knowing that you can take care of yourself (most of the time) lifts a lot of weight off his shoulders. But don’t hesitate to call him if you need help. AND he will also not hesitate to help you as well <3

He’ll leave you lovely sticky notes when he’s m.i.a. “Remember to eat, or I’ll deliver a tons of food to you, I will. Aggresively with love <3”

❤️ Animals and Sharks are cool. His favourite animal, my hc, happends to be the Megalodon. I know, it’s not technically an animal (existing), but hey, it counts to him.

❤️ HE WILL READ TO YOU. HE’LL READ ANYTHING. EVEN HIS WORKS. I MEAN- HE STUDIED ENGLISH LIT— SO, prepare yourself for a whole book based on you two- Also, he’ll secretly, I’m telling you, fr, secretly, ask his friends to read your works bc he knows it is hella GOOD. JASON APPROVED.

❤️ Again, 👁 🚢

❤️ He trusts you a lot, he’ll crumble into pieces in front of you even. Being his lover won’t be easy with all his work, problems, the crime and the amount of times he has reincarnated, but he knows you’ll get through it with him. What love makes you do am I right?

❤️ PREPARE FOR A LOT OF AFFECTION. ok, he’ll ask it from you as well <3 He’ll text you, “You, me, couch and..just us relaxing :D”

[lime-gutz]

The mercs with a SO with telekinetic abilities? Kinda like Stephen King’s Carrie White ( can usually control it but sometimes will go into a trance and cause all sorts of anarchy when horribly overwhelmed) If you don’t want to do all of them how about medic, scout, and spy :3

OOOOOOO okay that concept sounds really fucking interesting. As we all know the tf2 universe is wack as hell and so like, yeah this concept..

Let's get general hcs out of the way before going into specifics with each of the 3 to give everyone a better understanding of like...my thought process??? (I'll mention the other ones in passing through this but I'll be focusing on the specific 3 you've given me).

I imagine if there was such a 10th class, one that is telekinetic, I'll be calling them the Telepath as their class name, I assume would have gotten such an ability through means of. Well. Obviously telekinesis is very not normal so this could go lots of ways, taking into account that you mention specifically causing anarchy when overwhelmed/experiencing a breakdown I wanna be fun and say the Telepath got this ability in the form of a curse. (For what? Idk have fun with deciding, I'd like to hear!)

I would like to say they've been experiencing this curse for years of their life and had grown old enough with it to the point of knowing how to keep such an ability in check as, when not doing that it could lead to dire consequences. That being in the form of a completely wrecked house or general surroundings.

So by the time they were employed as a mercenary they are well fitted with the knowledge of how they know it works, how they personally deal with it, how far this ability can really go as in they know their limits, and how to control/keep themselves in check as to not break anything..doesn't mean that absolutely nothing happens of course but for the most part, is able to keep things unbroken.

Now, with that out of the way, let's get into the 3 specific mercs you've picked for me to talk about.

Medic:

(General)

You had his attention ever since he read the words "Telekinetic" on your papers that were given for him to observe any medical records! He was excited to meet you..and experiment on/with you specifically. No doctor just has patients with telekinesis!! He's most definitely going to take every opportunity he can to run experiments on you to see just how much the difference goes between you and just a normal human subject.

Practically bouncing on the heels of his feet, his hand lightly shaking under your firm hold of a handshake, an unsettling grin on his features as you both shook has when you first met but..again! He was excited and eager to start whenever he can with the experiments he has planned.

Insanely talkative with you during said experiments. He gets like this when he's eager to devour any knowledge and experience he can get his bloodied hands on..and talking helps him think more. He can talk about just. Super casual things that has nothing to do with what he's doing or talking about what he's doing in the moment (although you're not sure if it's for your sake or if it's just a habit he does for himself.)

Finds it absolutely rejuvenating to watch you fight on the field. You're really something! It's glorious to see your telekinesis abilities in action, while your abilities can only do so much, the much it could do was such a sight! Ohoho!! How you can break enemy bones, their blood decorating the hot sandy grounds of the desert, how you can use the rough terrain to your advantage and gain the upper hand..You're thrilling to watch.

While he can see some restraint on your part when it comes to keeping your emotions in check the best way you possibly can, (as he is well aware of what can come of you becoming wildly overwhelmed) He still chooses to work with you more on how to better your ways of doing so...better??

He's not the most patient man, not by a wide margin or patient in any sense of the word, he has to understand that it also wouldn't be wise to just. Fly off the handle when getting frustrated with you in particular for whatever reason as doing so would result in a completely wrecked base. He keeps this in mind because once they've all experienced such an attack its not really something that you can really forget ya know? That's not to say he's softer with you when talking to you or being less blunt but he can show some restraint on his own emotions just a bit for you.

(Romantic)

-apologies if the telekinetics aren't really talked about here, I feel like overall telekinetics are used more so on the battle field and not for everything the Telepath does

Realizes that overall, you've done a good job managing yourself when it comes to being grounded and staying calm in situations where he could even say he probably wouldn't be as calm. Accompany this with you willingly working with him to find perhaps even better solutions to better dealing with it and you then gain just a bit of admiration on the "doctor's" part.

I view Medic as someone who's generally more willing to let looser when he's around someone he's particularly close with. More fun, less...serious if you will?? Sure he's generally jovial and not serious, but I imagine he's even more so when around company he actually enjoys being around so it's no surprise it's what he started doing with you if you both actually gained a bit of a friendship.

It's a common occurrence to see you both messing with each other in a playful manner, nothing downright cruel or mean, just playful. Ex. When he tries the "Ohoho! You can't possibly reach what you're wanting! Look at how short you are compared to me!" Being a tall man and holding something out of your reach to which using your telepathetic abilities you're able to slip said thing out of his hands quite easily, which leaves the man chuckling as he means it all in good fun.

If you're sitting there like "wtf I want some soft stuff too give it to me you bitch" I reply "okay man mfuck" and give you the softer stuff like, right now. Never fails to get a small smile out of him if you were to use your telekinetics to just brush a stray hair our of his face and smooth it back in place to keep his hair neat. Or if you use it to push his spectacles gently back on his face correctly and no longer crooked on his nose.

Enjoys just the simple touches such as you hooking his arm with yours as he works for a little bit if the work he's doing doesn't require a lot of movement, or just a simple kiss to his cheeks and nose..maybe a peck to his lips if he's busy with something. Not to say he doesn't enjoy more lingering touches when he's not horribly busy however!

Quite enjoys laying his head against yours and leaning some of his body weight onto yours and you doing the same back to him as to balance the both of you out into something more comfortable. He finds that your presence is good to have while he works, helps him feel down to earth and less tightly wrapped in his spiels of thoughts.

Scout:

(General)

Finds that your presence and abilities are both handy on field, although he insists you're not as good as him..he's not gonna not give you credit for how utterly fucking cool it is to see someone use something that resembles literal super powers!! But! He also finds your skills useful for playing any tricks on an unsuspecting teammate...if you're in on it of course, if not he'll complain and whine to you that you should at least try it with him and to think of how cool and funny it would be if you did.

Beg you to do things like, for instance, could you make him fly in the air? Your abilities can only go so far of course and not wanting to disappoint, you were successful!...for a few minutes before his ass flopped onto the floor and he got a bloody nose. However as if blood was not dripping from his face currently he was insistent that they have got to try it again sometime!! Flying felt so cool!!

Probably the teammate who has the most interest in your abilities solely for the fact he thinks it's super cool and only thinks of cool ways for you to use it cause..c'mon!!! He doesn't understand why you wouldn't just use it all the time it would make SO many things easier!!

In an attempt to understand you as a person better and how you live with such an ability he's keen on asking questions if you don't get annoyed with him asking so many and then shooing him off. His questions are more so for curiosity and getting to know you reasons as opposed to Medic's who curiosity was mostly scientific.

He's a dude who has a sense of longing to have..someone to like/relate to. Someone to trust and call his friend! And if you're able to show him that you're someone who can deal with his antics, questions, and things that others will find annoying but are things you accept of him..hey man. You got his loyalty and friendship. Take good care of that.

He really likes to talk about just a bunch of things if you're someone he considers a friend. He's not holding back! He's gonna let you hear all of thoughts he has in the world! Or..talk to you about more serious things that only you as friends would share with each other and no one else perhaps...his worries with his mom and knucklehead brothers, or you and your worries.

(Romantic)

Scout is someone that could be described as super touchy with those he feels close enough to. Which st this base, he doesn't consider anybody quite close enough for anyone to ever see. 'Cept you of course. Growing closer to Scout he's way more comfortable wrapping an arm over your shoulders, giving you side hugs, bumping your side with his affectionately and such.

Okay in his defense with that date he tried to set up with Pauling he totally wasn't expecting a giant fucking mutant bread to come and attack the lot of them so, technically while Spy considers him a failure in the department of wooing women the set up of the date wasn't....horrible???? I mean. It looked like a prom yeah but hey! He's learned a thing or 2 from that experience and so he's more likely to have something at least slightly suited more to your tastes since he's gotten to know you better.

You like to push his cap over his eyes quickly with just a flick of your telekinesis before battle starts, leaving him to laugh and fix it before he quickly and effortlessly catches right back up to you anyways. It's okay though, he gets you back later by pressing a cold beer to your neck if the battle is won.

If given the go ahead by you he'll sit with you somewhere and have either an arm draped over your shoulder or your head on his chest as drones on and on about whatever it is he's currently thinking about. He likes talking, and you like listening to him talk even if you don't follow every single thing he says, you get some comfort out of it.

He won't admit to anyone..but you maybe, that your a huge softspot he has. Like, his family is his softspot..and with family that includes his mom, his brothers, and you to some extent, and he'll be sure to remind you every now and again that he's loyal to you and only you. You can trust him when tells you, but reminding you about that fact never hurts!

Overall, he trusts and loves you to the fullest and he can only hope that you return both of those in full back to him. He's indulged the most information about himself personally and his worries to you and only you, and you've done the same for him.

Spy:

(General)

Standoffish with you in your initial meeting. Your first impression of him was one you couldn't really say was kind or nice in anyway. While the man wasn't downright cruel he still couldn't be described as nice. After all, he did blow smoke in your face upon initial meeting. However, you didn't return this first impression in kind back as you were quick to gather the smoke blown at you in a sphere kind of shape and have it blown right back in his own face, his expression souring quite a bit.

He can be mad all he wants, but you let it be known on your first meeting that you're not letting yourself get pushed around. Something that while not in that moment, he grows to appreciate and admire that you're not gonna let people like him walk all over you.

Once you've proven your worth as a teammate to be welcomed on the team by proving yourself in the face of battle, he's lightens up on you considerably. He views his actions as a sort of..tough love kind of situation if you will. He figures that, if you're really deemed fit enough to have your own spot on the team with the rest of them..then he has no need to keep being tough on you as he thinks it would no longer be necessary if you're already here to stay correct?

Finds some of your antics when using your telekinesis amusing..not that he would admit that out loud of course. You swear you might of heard a sucking in of breath to laugh, soft chuckles, or hell even a few snorts from this man a few times when you mess with people but..you also didn't have proof it was him so you wouldn't know completely.

Has admitted to you at one point that you were more tolerable to be around as opposed to the other teammates, not to say that none of them could hold good conversation no, but most could get a bit tiring to socialize with and it was quick to make him want to reside back in his smoking room. You however, were someone he can actually bear to talk to for more than an hour.

Can also admire your skill and how well in check you can keep yourself, it shows serious restraint on your part and that's not so easy for everyone. He finds it admirable that you try so hard as to not cause any kind of harm to anyone or break anything.

(Romantic)

Okay dunno if you can tell but this guy is very much not a low key kind of partner. He's one to shell out quite a pretty penny on gifts he knows you'll enjoy or dates he takes you on. It's a love language of his.

Is also not low key at all when it comes to affection much in public. Hand holding, kisses to the corner of your mouth, kisses to your hands and forehead, the works of that sort but is sure to not overwhelm you if you're not to heavy on that.

You can give the love back whenever you're on the base, super simple things that sure, aren't as out there as Spy's but are gestures he can appreciate no matter how small they are. Using your telekinesis to fetch him a lighter from across the room as to not have him get up to retrieve it, or to use it to tidy up his tie or flick dust and dirt off of his pristine suit.

You find that although unwilling to part with too much information himself, he's very much listening to things you have to say. A sharp eared good listener if you will, he supposes all of those years of eavesdropping on his end has done him some good as he's very much still listening even though he may be occupied with something.

Indulges himself in your company far more than anyone else. Mostly in the dark evenings as he's usually off doing his own things after battle whatever those things may be. Isn't one to talk about work when everyone is clearly not having to do it as of right now, he just wants to wind down at least a tad (as he never allows himself to completely relax as that would pose a danger to the kind of job he has of course.)

Finds that your a good reading partner, not for reading out loud to or you reading out loud for him but, you're someone good to be around if you wish to work around someone who has a bit of life around them as although silent in speech you're not silent in activities that don't require talking. Reading for example, you don't speak but you're also not silent, your soft breathing, maybe the quiet whistle of your nose as you breath out, the light sound of your bouncing your leg against fabric, or just the sound of rustling and turning pages. It calms him.

Please do more of the writing head canons. It’s really interesting to see other people’s ideas on the topic, so if you can be bothered, I would highly appreciate more, thanks bye <3

Y’all don’t know how happy I am to talk about these headcanons, they are my babies and I love them so much :’) thanks for asking g <3

Handwriting Headcanons

Same dynamic as before, try to guess whose handwriting it is before reading and tell me how many you got right! <3

You can find the first post here (no need to check it tho)

Quick disclaimer: halfway through making my initial notes, I remembered I had one (1) single lesson of graphology in my applied linguistics class, but that was a year ago and some information might be off. I just thought it was neat to include.

Another quick disclaimer: I don’t know much about Hylian, but I like to think it has a similar stroke system to Japanese, so the pressure and accuracy of your strokes play a major role in your handwriting (among other things, ofc.) so there are some parts where I focus more on that

(First Row, from left to right)

Sky

Our first boy is mother hen! Believe it or not, he has the prettiest handwriting out of all of them! Sky: probably has nice, even elegant handwriting because Sun forced him to practice when they were little. In the end, that paid off because his handwriting is the prettiest one. There’s no pressure, but he is confident in what he writes that his lines aren’t thin. Mistakes? what is that? this boy has impeccable grammar and spelling. No mechanic errors to be found in his letters! I’d like to think that many of Hyrule’s classic/staple poems were originally written by the firt king aka sky child. Like, imagine, after a retiring from being a Person of Power (as the first ruler), Sky finds comfort in the arts: revisits his old woodcarvings and starts writing poetry about the world he still doesn’t fully understand. wowie. tldr: sky writes poetry and you can pry it from my cold dead hands.

This is what one of his letters would look like: 

Next one is the one and only, our Hero of Time

2. Time

I’ll die on the “Time didn’t know how to read and write” hill. His handwriting is simple, not pretty but not messy. It has some grammar and spelling mistakes here and there. Can become unreadable if writing in a hurry, he sorts of forgets spaces between words are a thing/letters have different sizes and lowercase letters end up the same size as capital letters. I’m not saying he sometimes forgets to write articles: he just doesn’t want to. Honestly, he just has this dad-neat handwriting. He is a gentle dad and writes like a dad, if he puts too much pressure onto the paper, his handwriting become too sharp/angle-ish and ends up looking ugly. And as much as he would like to not care about it, in the end he does (:

Malon taught him how to write and it was quite the experience. At first he didn’t want to because he was ‘too old’ to learn and it was torture at first, but now look at him devouring his cowboy novels. 

A chunk of his handwriting: 

*sniff* such a dad quote.

3. my mansss, your  4x1 deal at Target: Four

Look, my boy is patient! He could do some nice and fancy lettering if he wanted to. He was taught that handwriting and spelling said a whole lot about him as a person, you know, like a first impression kinda thing; so he always proof reads more than twice before sending ­a letter. Super rare grammar mistakes.

The faster he writes, the more slant his writing becomes. Under stress/ when not sure how to write things down, run-on sentences are everywhere and his handwriting is inconsistent in general (I don’t headcanon each part of him having completely different handwriting because handwriting becomes muscle memory over time. It’s just slightly different variations of the same, like idk  Vio’s handwriting is neater than Green’s and Red writes hearts instead of any dot/circle and no, I do not take constructive criticism on that, jk i do.) Adding on to each of the colours’ handwriting, I’d think Red and Green write with words slanted to the right( inclined), Vio is a mix of the opposite, so reclined and straight, and my mans blue a true neutral writes straight (kinda like Time’s).

The logic behind this is that inclined writing supposedly means honesty and need for giving (and getting) affection; reclined means, as you can probably imagine,  defensiveness and repression of true feelings, but also shows great concentration; straight handwriting means self-control, observation and reflection as well as distrust and indifference. But as complete being (tm), Four just writes as in the image example which is not too straight and not too inclined, and I believe that’s a good middle for him

HOWEVER, if I’m feeling in the mood for crack, I totally accept this boy to have the ugliest, chicken scratches-looking handwriting! :’D It’s just funny to think that someone like him, who has to be precise and careful in his work, can't write neatly to save his life. 

One of his letters would look like this: 

Also I just LOVE how his hero titles look in this font ksksks

and that’s

(Middle row, from left to right)

4.- Mister Bunny Boy - Legend

His uncle taught him how to write. I’d call his handwriting pretty and neat at a first glance, but he presses too hard on the paper, most of the time staining the back or the following page. Sometimes will retrace some words if he doesn’t like how it looks (which only makes it messier). According to my notes, a thick or strong handwriting represents determination/commitment.

As I also headcanon him to know many languages, mechanical errors are more present than grammar ones; that is, weird capitalisation of words. Punctuation is somewhere in between; uses too many commas when he should just cut the sentence. he mixes punctuation from two languages or more in writing when too distracted (or too focused, because, well, pressure.); when he writes for himself, he has almost no problem following said language’s punctuation rules. Also, this is just polyglot culture, and I’m projecting a bit, but when he forgets a word in the language he’s writing, he just replaces it with its equivalent in another language because we don’t care about fluency, but rather functionality. in this household (more on that in my language hc, ksksks).

An example of his writing:

so powerful

4.-  Mr. Wolfman, howl me a song - Twilight

I don’t have much for him because 1) I don’t think he writes a lot and 2) he is a hands-on/visual learner, I’ll die by that. He only learnt how to write because Ulli insisted it was important and he was not about to disrespect his momma; he IS That Guy, but doesn’t really write enough to have neat handwriting.

Many people seem to overlook the fact that his house is filled with books and write him as completely illiterate (which if not explored properly, ends up feeling a bit disrespectful and full of prejudice, but go off I guess; and that’s on my core Headcanons for Twi); however, he sticks to simple sentences. Knowing how to read and understanding a text is different from knowing how to write them. Like, when we would see a semicolon and understand its position in the text, but didn’t understand the nature of it. Is this clear? idk i’m sorry. So yeah, boy reads a lot, writes very little.

As for his Actual Handwriting, as opposed to Legend, his handwriting is thiccc but not because he presses into the paper; he is just that messy, he has no sense of ink-flow-control, he does what he can with what he has. To the untrained eye, his handwriting illegible letters like v, n, u are very similar; when he makes notes for himself he does it in the form of doodles or small ‘icons’. But! He reads a lot, so he rarely makes spelling mistakes (: he is your go-to guy when you don’t know how to write a word.

An example of his writing:

He keeps a journal, sue me.

3. My first born- Warrior

Okay, first off... I accept this is completely biased. I saw the idea and said “That’s True”. If you haven’t, please read Effective Communication; or The Lack of Thereof by htruona, a fic where the boys reflect on the language barriers between them. It’s incredibly funny and probably what made me start making these silly notes. So, if you’ve read that fic, you know where I’m going.

My man, Warrior, can’t fucking write. I mean, he physically can, but it’s very bad. Here’s the reason for it, tho, and it’s not his fault: Technically, he knew how to write alright but he joined the military and whatever note he had to write had to be concise or in the worst case coded. He mixes capital and lowercase letters. If we consider that he joined the military at around 15, his handwriting and grammar had yet to continue developing. Just think about how after summer break, your handwriting was always slightly worse than before because you didn’t write for an entire month. Now think what 2 years can do to that. Hmm, not cool, dude. He makes quick notes, when writing he’s all gotta go fast. he is the lighting mcqueen of writing; good for emergency messages, not ideal for love letters. His punctuation also suffered a lot, he only know full stops and commas and hardly uses them. A sentence for him is either one word or fifty without a single comma, no inbetween.

His hero title and an example of his writing.

(Bottom row, or what I like to call “fuck cursive” row)

7.- Magic man - Hyrule

I’m basic and I do agree with the popular headcanon of he not knowing how to write because well, y’all know his Hyrule. He only knows how to write his name because that’s important, same with numbers. I don’t see why would he write/read except checking the roadsigns. (he can even use this as an excuse for getting lost frequently; he thought it said something different.) But I do think that because his habitual reading consists of roadsigns, his ‘punctuation’ is weird af and places full stops/points/periods at the same level of his words and his commas/question/exclamation marks below them. Yk, creative license. Sadly, I don’t have much about my magic hands man so here’s what his writing would look like if he actually wrote a paragraph:

Man, I love Hyrule.

8.- Man, I don’t understand this boy -  Wild

Cursive? ain’t nobody have the time for that. He woke up and had to save the world in his underwear while not knowing how to read nor write.  He learnt during his journey and was taught by multiple people from different regions, that explains his inconsistent spelling of things and names for them. So Wild knows language variations for many items and uses them interchangeably (even if they aren’t exactly the same). Another headcanon related to writing/language skills that I’ve been thinking about is that if the shrine was able to cause amnesia, I’m sure there were other areas in the brain affected which leads us to language disorders such as agraphia and aphasia. But that’s a story for another day ksksksk

An example of his writing (after relearning)

9.- The best of sons - Wind

I don’t have much for him and that makes me sad. Look, he’s a kid, doing kid things like stabbing dudes on the head. This boy was taught cursive by his grandma, but could never do it and no one needs it anyway. His handwriting is good enough for his pirate life, Tetra is the one to handle Official stuff, he just gotta sign. Spelling and grammar mistakes abound. He is still relatively young and can correct his handwriting if he desires. But same as Wild, with how many times he’s been thrown out and hit his head, I’m starting to consider some language disorder for him as well.

An example of his writing:

aaand that’s it.

Thanks, y’all for showing interest in this silly thing uwu it was fun to finally talk about this. If you ever want to discuss ideas/headcanons(especially if they are related to language and culture), I’m your person (: I’m always happy to hear new headcanons. Feel free to add anything to this post either in a reply or in a reblog, I’d love to hear from y’all <3<3

[ayyyez]

Is it too late to request some serotonin in the form of soft fluffy comfort hcs for Kakashi and Tobirama, and maybe Genma if you feel like it? I know he's not on your list tho so absolutely don't worry about it if you don't want to ❤️❤️❤️

a/n: Katie I gotchu bby! I can do Genma any day after all our convos about him and I’ll try to make them extra long ❤️ warnings: none 

Genma Shiranui

Probably the most likely out of the bunch to actually know how to comfort another human. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not an expert but he tries and it’s a soft sight to see. 

Genma can come off as more the sweet talking, happy go lucky guy but he actually does pay attention and observe you. So he can tell almost right away when something isn’t right. 

If you’ve just come home he will great you like normal and wait. If you act like things are fine he will observe you. He wants to see whether he needs to push for you to talk or just kind of hold you. He’s good at holding you. 

If you try to go about your usual routine he will play dumb. “Hey, you sit down I’ll do this for you.” You can tell instantly he’s up to something but with your own issues you let it go and let him take over. Later he will come and talk to you. 

But let’s say whatever is going on is big and you just sort of explode? Will let you scream, cry, whatever you need. The whole time he has a hurt look on his face. It’s not that you hurt him, not at all, it’s that he HATES seeing you hurt. 

Either scenario his words will be absolute. No funny business, no sweet talk or rambling. Just plain “Everything will be okay.” or “It’s not your fault.” If none of these work it will just be the “I love you, okay?” Now that is something he doesn’t say lightly. 

The aftermath is a lot softer and sweeter. Takes you to the couch or your bed. Sits with you, arms around you. Feels a lump in his throat, he’s itching to say something but he doesn’t know what. He thinks he should be doing more but honestly, he is doing a lot.

Stroking your hair, your back, pulling you closer every so often. Just squeezing you in general to communicate “I’m here.” He’s awkward but he loves you so he tries. 

When the breakdown and cool down and you’ve talked it out, he will be a little more light hearted. Will try to make you laugh or smile. His smooth talking delivery is awkward and off but that in itself is funny (in the moment anyway you can tease him about that later). 

He becomes a bit restless like he needs to be doing something. You need water? Food? Should he cook? Burns something because he’s a little shaken up and he can hear his mother scolding him in his head lol. 

All of a sudden gets really talkative. He is trying to distract you and stop your mind lingering on whatever has brought you down. It will sometimes turn into a deep and meaningful conversation that allows him to open up more since everything is raw and vulnerable. 

He will still have you either in his arms or be touching you in someway. It’s his way of comforting you and letting you know he is there. He isn’t going anywhere. Bless this man, honestly. 

Kakashi Hatake

I guess it depends on what age Kakashi is. Younger Kakashi, comfort is all physical because he has no idea how to talk about feelings. It’s all long, drawn out hugs that feel like he would die if he let you go. Sometimes it does feel that way to him. 

Also younger Kakashi would spend the night which in itself is a big deal. He wasn’t big on attachments and generally would run the second things got intimate, emotional or otherwise. 

But older Kakashi is wiser and far more versed in talking to people. He still struggles with the whole aspect of comfort but he has a better understanding of talking your emotions out. 

Won’t even feign ignorance to your different mood. Will straight up ask you “What is it?” or “Is something wrong?” He will not let it go either so you can’t even pretend to act like something isn’t wrong. 

He won’t be aggressive about but he will calmly ask you again or just start explaining to you the importance of not bottling your emotions (as if he is one to talk but I digress). 

It eventually pushes you one way or another and you let everything out. It actually breaks his heart to see you in pain but he can’t worry about him because it’s you he is concerned with. 

Kakashi begins with the logic of the matter. He doesn’t belittle whatever you are going through but helps explain the logic and that it’s normal for you to feel this way. Acknowledges your feelings in the matter. 

Once the logic is out of the way he gets a little softer. The physical sides of his comforting will roll out here. Especially if you are really down. He will put an arm around you and pull you against him. His grip is secure, with no signs of letting go. 

Doesn’t really talk much after that. Like when he was younger his instincts to just hold you close take over. Let’s you judge how long to stay like that. If you give him no indication of wanting to move he will at least suggest moving to the bed to be more comfortable. 

Lies down so you are facing each other (even if you don’t want to look at him) he will look at you. Arms still around you. Will stay up the whole time even if you fall asleep to watch over you. Won’t let you go. 

Will whisper things to you when you sleep like “I’m sorry.” or “I’m here.” He hopes this will help you on some level. And maybe he is saying them because he feels he should do more. Presses a kiss to your forehead when you definitely are asleep.

When you do wake up he will press more soft kisses to you forehead, just below your eye (especially if you cried and they be puffy) and one to your lips. It’s enough to distract you for a moment and concentrate on how warm it is in his arms. 

Tobirama Senju 

Look. This man just sucks at comforting. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t try to ease your worries. He’s just not going to scoop you up right away and plaster you with affection. He’s not that man. He can still be soft though.

If he tries to comfort you then you KNOW this man loves you. Similar to Kakashi, if he notices you are off then he will ask you about it. “Is everything alright?” If you lie to him he will be a little salty but will forgive you for it. It’s not like he hasn’t done the same thing. 

He won’t prod straight away but will watch you with keen eyes. You can feel his gaze on you the whole time. If you don’t seem to improve then he will ask (demand) again that you tell him. “What is going on?” 

The look in his eyes, ah it’s a mix of concern but also a little hurt- like don’tyoutrustme? Damnit Tobirama why you have to take things so personally lol. 

So you confess whatever is on your mind or whatever happened to leave you in need of comfort. He listens keenly the whole time and waits for you to finish. A few tense second goes by and he just goes “Hmm.” He isn’t dismissing you okay, he is looking for the right thing to say. 

His words are always deliberate. (well mostly he is a drama queen.) Will hit you with his summary of the situation, to make sure he understands correctly then hits you with the logic. He’s a logical man most of the time. 

But the logic doesn’t cut it. Even if it makes you feel a little better, something more is required. And he is just lost because what else can he do? Thinks long and hard but like he is so damn awkward at intimacy he kind of just goes “It’s been a long day we should go get some rest, come on.” 

Now this is Tobirama code for I don’t know wtf to do but I don’t want to just dismiss this so let’s go cuddle. Well technically he thinks sleep not cuddle but every night Tobirama falls asleep clinging to you so it’s sort of the same thing. 

The second you get into bed he comes up behind you and puts his arm around you. Presses his body against his back. This serves two purposes: to give you comfort and so that you can’t see his face. He is a little flustered by cuddling up against you so quickly so just let it be. 

His hand seeks out yours and he pulls it against your body to tighten the embrace. Won’t initiate conversation but will talk if you do. Honestly does hope this makes you feel better. One of his more softer, less selfish moments tbh. 

[agentmika]

maybe „past“ for the ask game?

Funny enough the things that keep coming up are Kepler & Lovelace moments in my Kepler lives au WIP doc rn! I'll share both snippets b/c I wrote a few versions of how they met again and how that meeting went and I've since changed the plot slightly so one of these versions might never see the light of day. not telling you which one tho 😘

one potential meeting: "Kepler," she said curtly. "Lovelace," he said slowly, his voice ticking up in a warning lilt.

"Oh don't worry about it," she said, voice filling with fake cheer and very real anticipation. "It's just getting even! I didn't bring my gun unfortunately, but one type of blunt force head trauma for another will have to do."

She stepped closer. Kepler didn't budge from where he sat on the couch.

"First time's the hardest anyway. Second one will be a breeze." Her voice was deliberately light, but her eyes sparked with vindictive anger and glee.

"My past observations would suggest differently," he remarked dryly. She lunged towards him, arm raised.

He wouldn’t shield himself. She would not get the pleasure of his fear. He even tilted his head up, to meet her.

another moment:

"You shot me."

"You asked for it."

Her eyes could've burned a whole through him. If they had been any closer to that damned star, maybe she could've. He looked down to where his hands rested in his lap. Brought them up and spread them wide.

"Technically," he said, "these hands never even touched the gun that did it."

She scoffed. Loudly. But he ignored her and, as he'd begun to do often since first being Not Dead, looked in particular at his right hand, and wiggled the fingers. The flesh and bone fingers, unbranded by a Goddard Futuristics logo.

In the past, they might as well have been. And he'd have been damned proud of it.

What did he think now? I just keep finding more things w/ past. I like this line and it's making me excited again abt making this Lovelace + Jacobi + Kepler dynamic :))) She glances past Jacobi, at where Kepler waits patiently away from them. He follows her gaze to where he stands on the street corner, looking to the stars. His face is unreadable as always.

also I'm probably never gonna post this bit but wrote a mini script-esque moment b/t Jacobi, Maxwell, & Eiffel, presumably sometime during canon and referencing a HC of platonic SI-5 cuddles:

EIFFEL: So are the three of you...are you guys in a...

MAXWELL (working on something): Are we what? Spit it out Eiffel.

EIFFEL (trying desperately not to admit he was anywhere near their quarters): I just thought- I mean- you and Jacobi seem so close!!! But then Kepler and Jacobi have this weird tension between them and then you and Kepler hav-

MAXWELL: -Oh. You saw us sleeping, didn't you?

EIFFEL (in that squeaky eiffel voice): ...no?

MAXWELL: Well to answer your question since I'm feeling generous today: no, I'm not in any kind of relationship besides the SI-5 with either of them.

(JACOBI FLOATS PAST IN THIS MOMENT)

MAXWELL (isn't looking but knows he's there): Now JACOBI THOUGH, I don't knowwww about the Colonel and him, but there's definitely Something Else going on there.

JACOBI: HEY! Stop spreading lies about me Maxwell.

MAXWELL (sing-song & also messing w/ Eiffel now): Wouldn’t dream of it, babe!

Send me a word, if it’s in my wip document I’ll answer your ask with the sentence (maybe w/ some additional context) that it appears in

[headoverjojo]

Can I get hcs for Bucci Gang and La Squadra if they had a member for a long time and she’s got a bad case of baby face so everyone thinks she’s like 15 but no,,, honey,,,, I’m an adult. DJDKFNCN lots of teasing would happen probably.

Hello there! I’m sorry, I did it just for Bucci Gang, since I accept requests just for one group a time. If you want me to write it also for la Squadra, please send a request again when I’ll open the askbox!

Bruno’s gang dealing with a new member with a bad case of baby face

(Under the cut for lenght!)

Bruno Bucciarati

Truth is, he really thought she was even younger than Giorno, the first moment he saw her. His first instinct was to send her to school, as he tried to do with Narancia, but she had already taken Polpo’s test and the Caporegime himself assigned her to the team, so he couldn’t, in fact, do anything.

He tends to treat her as a child. He’s way protective and caring, as he was with Narancia when he first joined. He can’t help it: in his eyes, she’s young and especially didn’t deserve it, so the least he can do is to protect her from the bloody mafia life.

One day, however,the truth came out. When she flawlessly completed some really complicated contability paper, Bruno, stunned, asked her if she, like Fugo, attended university at a really young age. When she replied telling that she attended university at 18, as everyone else, he’s utterly shocked. So… she’s actually not a teenager? She’s even older than him?! She just laughs, seeing the disbelief in the leader’s face. Her baby-face hit again!

Leone Abbacchio

When he sees the new member, Abbacchio heavily sighs. Another child? Are they a gang or a family house?! Passione’s not a place for children and teenargers! So, at least for the first period, he’s very cold towards her, as to scare her off and convince her to go back home.

However, as it was for Narancia and Fugo, even if they’re technically his seniors, -and, in the end, for Giorno too- he warms up to her. She’s with them, now, and there’s nothing else to do: she’s family as much as the other boys and he has to protect the family.

After seeing her fighting, however, the doubt starts to root in him. His suspicions are confirmed when she says she had taken self-defence lessons for all high school and more, making her, in fact, way older than what he thought. She smiles, half amused and half exasperated, when he tells her so. Of course… her face did it again!

Guido Mista

Mista huffs, seeing the new member entering the HQ. She seems so young… too young to stay with them. This, however, doesn’t mean he’ll not be amicable: right because she’s young she needs protection. Even if she knows how to fight and has a stand, she’s still a teenager: he knows that certain scars will never heal and he wants to prevent it.

Mista acts like a big brother, as he does for Narancia, just more protective. If they’re on mission together, he does his best to finish it as fast as possible and not let her see the corpses. When they’re at the HQ, he keeps her company, while the Pistols nap or play with her. In general, he’s happy to have her around: he always wanted a little sister.

The truth hits him like a train when, watching a replica of a rock concert happened not so long ago at San Siro, he says that it would have been nice to be here and she says that she actually was here. Mista’s really perplexed: how could she be here if she was barely a teenager? Laughing, she reveals her real age, shocking him to no end. How was it possible?? He needs a bit to recover, but then he goes back to act as usual: older or younger, she’s still the sister he always wanted.

Narancia Ghirga

Narancia is really happy to have someone younger than him in the gang. As he did when Giorno joined, he shows off and acts tough, to let her see that he’s a real mafia man. However, it doesn’t take long to show his more funny side: seeing a movie together is enough to help him to loosen and start to joke with her.

He isn’t bothered by her young age, since he too was barely a teenager when he joined. He knows that, sometimes, life can be so hard to let you mature more than your own age. Seen that she’s more or less old as him, if not younger, he bonds a lot with her: the others are too old -and even too mature- and, even if he loves them dearly and enjoys their company, sometimes it’s nice to pass some time with a person of his age.

He finds out that she’s actually older than what she seems one day when he was doing some math exercises Fugo gave him. He was struggling, trying to remember the order of the operations and not to mess with numbers, when she offered to help, saying that she wasn’t bad in math, at high school. He’s totally bewildered: she finished high school? So… so it means that she’s actually older than him? He needs a bit to warm up again, after this revelation, thinking he made a fool of himself. Just when she reassures him that she enjoyed the time they passed together he relaxes again. They can stay friends, so!

Pannacotta Fugo

He’s the more welcoming, after Bruno. He always tries to be nice with new people, to make them feel at home. Plus, the new member seems so young… even younger than Narancia and himself when they joined. She must have passed really bad things, if now she’s in mafia, so he tries his best to let her feel at least at ease, even if they’re, in fact, all criminals.

He knows firsthand how heavy is to lose everything such at a young age, so he doesn’t try to scare her off: if she’s here, it’s because she doesn’t have anywhere else to go. He bonds with her thanks to books, following her advices and giving some to her, in an exciting cultural exchange. It’s enough to form a strong friendship between the two, in the end.

One day he was preparing some exercises for Narancia and she offered to help him. The exercises she wrote down were really well done, too well done for a teenager on the streets… was she like him? When he asks how she knew such exercises, she says that she did these at high school, when she was a teenager. This makes Fugo understand that she’s way older the 14-15 years he gave her, to his disbelief. She just chuckles, finishing to write down the exercises: it’s fun to see the surprise in his eyes!

Giorno Giovanna

Giorno, even if he doesn’t say it aloud, is relieved about her entrance in the gang. Finally he’s no more the rookie, so he could act more freely. Plus, it’d be nice to be the senior of someone: it’d be an important experience for when he’ll be the Boss. So, while he’s nice with her, he’s also observant, trying to know her more and to understand if he can trust her or not.

When she finally gains his trust, it’s way easier to interact with him. He’s still a teenager, all in all, even if he’s more mature than his own age. He doesn’t ask her too many questions about her past: if she’s in mafia, something bad must have happen and he doesn’t want to be nosy. He’s a nice company and he’s a supportive and caring friend.

He finds out her real age after stealing her wallet. It’s an old habit of his: he doesn’t steal for money, now, but just to check the documents. So he rummages in her wallet, analysing her documents; his eyes widen, when he sees her age on her identity card. How can it be?! She seems so young, how can she be even older than Bruno?! He’s shocked. When he returns the wallet to its legitimate owner, she laughs, when he tells her about his discovery. She really should have told him about her bad case of baby face!!

[alo-piss-trancy]

hello! do u have any omo hcs for any mha chars? if not, that's okay :) btw some of the stuff u posted from a while back was from homestuck, just wanted to point that out ig- have a good day!!

To answer your other thing first, yeah I know hom/estuck! :D I never got super into the fandom side of it or even finished reading it unfortunately bc it's just SO LONG (I got up to some point in the middle of Act 4 or 5 I think? That was years ago though). I know the 4 kids and the first batch of trolls around their age (K/arkat and all of them) but once it gets to the older ones from that other timeline or whatever I got lost and only really know about D/irk and Ja/ke haha. I've still tried to avoid spoilers about the stuff I didn't read and the ending and such since maybe one day I'll have nothing else to read and finish it lol. The most interaction I really do with it nowadays is reading the occasional omo fic or looking at art because the piss side of that fandom was chock-full of quality content (and in some places still MAKING IT ) that I'm still working my way through.

But you didn't ask about that you asked about SUPERHEROES! SO HERE WE GO! :D

I've posted a few for certain popular chars like De/ku, Baku/gou, and Tod/oroki before (which I will reblog right after answering this in case you'd like to see those), so I'll do a few of my favourites this time!

M/ina (aka pink bae) :

* Pretty big bladder, but not a high tolerance for pain after a certain point. As soon as she feels a nagging urge she usually just goes instead of waiting. She can technically hold a lot/for a long time if need be, but it really bothers her and psyches her out.

* Drinks WAY too much soda. Not that it really affects her bladder, it's just unhealthy lol

* Very whiny and vocal when she needs to go. At first jokingly/to vent her annoyance, then if she's desperate enough it's solely to distract herself because somehow talking about it is easier than struggling in silence. Groans really exaggeratedly to show how annoyed she is.

* Super bouncy, like hopping up and down on her toes or bouncing in her seat in class/on the bus. Tugs the hem of her shirt down to cover or places her hands to the front of her bladder and presses while doubled over/bouncing on toes. You know that kind of stuff.

* Doesn't really grab her actual crotch unless dying. She'll press her knees together/grind her thighs though, or rut against the edge of her chair

* She tends to sweat/get flushed when super desperate/straining, and if she's especially nervous she might lose control of her quirk enough for her feet to slip in a light bit of acid. Usually she can keep the quirk under wraps even while bursting though.

* If she wet in public/in front of important people, she'd be pretty embarrassed and would take a few days to get over it. But if it's in front of friends she doesn't mind as much. It's still an uncomfortable experience but she can usually find a way to turn it into a joke with everyone instead of them laughing at her expense. She has a good sense of humor about it and hey, at least she finally got to pee.

* Will pretty much pee anywhere. Boy's bathroom, outdoors, a bucket, whatever. The only time she'll hesitate or refuse is if it's super gross.

* Has gone in the pool once to see if the rumor was true. Only once though.

* Probably doesn't have an omo kin/k, but is open to experimenting either way.

Toko/yami (birb boi) :

* Tiny bladder (like smaller than De/ku's). Gets squirmy shortly after a single juice box or small soda. Cannot get through drinking a large-sized drink without multiple potty breaks. Mostly sticks to water except for rare treats because caffeine goes through him so fast.

* Very self-conscious and shy because of said tiny bladder. Doesn't like looking weak or seeming baby-ish compared to his peers and def doesn't want to have to ask multiple times on long trips or classes, so he tries his best to monitor his liquid intake and sneak away when everyone is busy. This usually works out okay since he's so good at hiding out in corners/being quiet, but it's becoming harder now that he has /gasp/ friends who want to keep tabs on him or include him in stuff. He would low-key rather die than tell anyone he has to go at all, let alone if he has to go really REALLY badly. Dorm sleepovers will be hell.

* He isn't really pee-shy as far as public bathrooms go, but if he has to take an emergency pee outside or smth he has a hard time going, esp if he has someone with him trying to stand guard. Some people probably like to joke that because he's part animal he can go outside whenever he wants. That is Not The Case and it isn't funny

* Da/rk Shadow, on the other hand, gives no fucks and will try his best to force birdy to say something or blurt it out himself. Mostly at very embarrassing and inconvenient times with crowds, or hollering at everyone to wake up and move out of the way during said sleepover in the middle of the night when To/koyami is trying to sneak past the maze of sleeping bags to get to the bathroom quietly. Da/rk Shadow would be lying if he said he didn't get a bit of amusement from making birdy boi so embarrassed, but at his core he also does it because he's concerned the poor guy's gonna hurt himself testing his limits so often, and he would be even more embarrassed if he wet himself so HE'S DOING HIM A FAVOUR REALLY.

* Mostly fidgets with his legs. Lots of jiggling and partial bouncing and shifting weight from foot-to-foot. Crossed whenever he's sitting. Squeezing and rubbing thighs together, the whole she-bang. If he's alone and it gets this bad you can count on a full-blown potty dance.

* If he really has to keep up a good impression and can't afford to let anyone know, he can stop the fidgeting, but pretty much only by standing stock-still and straight and not really moving. His whole body ends up shaking from the strain though so it isn't actually that much of a cover

* If he's literally about to pee himself/knows he has to hold it for a LONG time with no other options he'll cave and hold himself really tight, but he seriously has to be on the verge of a full blown accident before he'll dare do this. Even around close friends he'd usually rather just try his best to keep his legs together and put up with the few leaks praying they don't notice.

* He leaks a LOT of tiny trickling leaks. He never loses control in one big gush, it just keeps dribbling out and he stops it for like half a minute and then it starts again, rinse and repeat each time more agonizing than the last until he finally loses full control and the rests hisses out.

* He tries to be quiet when desperate but the worse it gets the more he starts to let out little whimpers and moans, which can then devolve into incoherent rambling. By the time he's about to lose it he's basically Izu/ku levels of chatter, albeit much much quieter.

*When he does finally let go completely (whether that's in the bathroom or in his pants lol) he definitely has those fullbody pee shivers. You know the lil shudder all the way up his spine, complete with the softest little moan and his eyes slipping shut? His head feathers floof up for a second when he does it and it's adorable.

* If he wets he's going to be completely mortified. He doesn't cry (openly at least, his eyes will be watery), but he isn't as good at maintaining a stoic facade as Tod/oroki could. He's shaky and his words come off broken, he can't quite calm his breath hitching. Depending on the witness, he might try to BS an excuse to leave immediately and pretend it didn't just happen, not confronting them for several days until he's tracked down. Or he might break down enough to be unsure how to leave/end up staying to be comforted.

* probably doesn't have a ki/nk for it himself but would hold/wet for a partner. I don't care how edgy he looks he's 100% a SUB

* Da/rk Shadow would enjoy being the dom and even have birdy hold for him maybe, using his shadow powers to poke and tease at his bladder

Ts/u (froggy) :

* BIG bladder. Is that friend who never seems to have to pee no matter how long you've been hanging out. She also has a decent pain tolerance and keeps control fairly well. It takes a lot to push her into a state where she's at risk of wetting.

* Always well-hydrated. Always. Mostly water, juice, or tea, she doesn't drink soda very often. Doesn't mind it though and the caffeine doesn't seem to affect her much, but the fizzing's weird.

* She doesn't really give outward signs of desperation. She doesn't bounce around or grab herself. The most she'll do is press her thighs together, or cross legs if she's sitting. Usually she just tries to stand still and focus on keeping control, and will be less talkative. Usually she's very observant of her peers and the situations around her, so her classmates can tell something's up when she gets like this and keeps missing details or not joining conversations.

* Still appears pretty calm, even when bursting. You'd have to know her very well to tell that she's nervous.

* Not shy at all about asking/leaving to go when needed, unless it's an extremely formal or serious situation. Even so, if genuinely close to wetting she'd excuse herself or find a way to take care of it.

* If desperate during an actual hero mission, she would intentionally wet herself as soon as the need started affecting her performance. Pride isn't worth making errors and putting others' lives at risk, and taking time to find a hiding place/get out of her costume wouldn't be an option.

* No problem going outside or in odd receptacles, even around friends. She's not going to go out in the open, but has no problem going while someone keeps watch or asking for a bottle during a long bus ride.

* Pretty chill about going in water, but still has standards. In the shower/further out in the ocean where it doesn't affect people? Perfectly fine. In the pool or a closed lake where people are hanging out? That just makes you a jerk. River? Depends on whether it's a super clean stream or already gross, and where it leads to.

* No omo ki/nk to speak of. Pretty confused about it, but perfectly chill with giving it a try if someone asks.

Kyo/ka (earphone girl) :

* Average bladder. High pain tolerance. Can hold for a while longer if necessary, but she'll struggle/wet eventually.

* Not shy at all about leaving/asking, barring special circumstances. Not a fan about going in weird places/outdoors, but will if she has to. She'll gripe about it though.

* Doesn't get nervous so much as frustrated when desperate. She's the type to bang on the door to snap at someone to hurry up, or yell at the bus driver to pull over before she soaks their seat. Her squirming is mainly just leg crossing or jiggling when seated, foot tapping when standing. Lots of sighing/growling and grumbling to take her mind off of it.

* If she's genuinely close to losing control though or in one of those special circumstances, she won't be nearly as frustrated. Instead she gets unusually shy and quiet, withdrawing to the corner and trying to stay unnoticed while she squirms and whines under her breath.

* Will only grab herself once she's on the verge of losing it. This is when she gets truly nervous and starts to panic.

* Wetting is embarrassing no matter what, but her reaction heavily depends on the circumstances. Close friends can comfort her after some sulking and then she can kind of chuckle about it. Regular peers get some threats not to talk about it, then she'll withdraw for a few days before she can get over it. Strangers she just tries to get out of there ASAP and wants to crawl under a rock

* Probably has a pretty big omo kin/k (mostly seeing others desperate, but sometimes indulges herself), but she's super embarrassed about it. You'd have to work real hard to get her to bring it up/ask you to participate. If she can though, oh boy is she gonna be into it. She gets a real thrill out of the dominant side of it, teasing people and watching them squirm (she's a very affectionate dom so expect some kisses and hugs while she casually straddles your bladder), breaking down their defenses until they lose control just for her. She does love being the sub on occasion though, it's nice to be the one flustered and nervous/having to be coddled for a change since she's usually so chill and tough.

Ko/da (animal whisperer) :

* Average bladder despite his large stature. Not overly weak, not overly strong. Mild pain tolerance. Can force himself to hold on for an exceptionally long time if necessary, but will be much weaker and prone to accidents afterwards.

* Pretty dang shy about asking/leaving, and is also legit bladdershy in public restrooms unless they're completely empty. Usually holds it during classes and then slips back to his dorm room's private restroom during lunch hour. Once he grows comfortable enough around certain friends he can use their dorm/house bathrooms, but that still takes some coaxing and a lot of visits to ease into it.

* He actually has less trouble going outside as long as there's plenty of cover and nobody's around (like a forest or smth). Animals don't judge the way people do. It's definitely not his first choice, but between say, a campground public bathroom and the woods, he'll take the woods.

* While most of his classmates/teachers in 1-A have gotten to know him enough to understand most of his miming communication, when he has to spend time with other classes/teachers or strangers in town, it can be a struggle. He's much more hesitant to 'speak up' about his need in the first place, and even once he does they don't really understand at first and it gets really embarrassing (short of doing an actual potty dance or starting to leak they might not figure it out in time). Sometimes he just writes it down instead/types it on his phone, which helps, but he's so used to charade communication that half the time he forgets that's an option.

* He tries not to be too obvious about his need when desperate, but isn't the best at hiding it. He gets really sweaty and can't quite wipe the nervous expression off his face, and his body posture is really tense and shaky. To be fair, he looks nervous a lot of the time, so most people might not pick up on the exact reason unless they know him well.

* When it gets REALLY bad he starts to squirm a little, pressing his knees together or rocking on his heels, shuffling in his seat, or the classic 'both hands gripping the edge of the chair with legs on either side, but you're not actually grabbing your crotch so it isn't obvious right?'. Any further and he'll do the actual crotch grab and a full potty dance, complete with tears budding in the corners of his eyes and little whining hums and whimpers.

* If he wets, he will be completely humiliated. Horribly ashamed, trying to clean up the mess but with no idea how, crying and on the verge of panic. That's all just alone. Have it happen in front of friends or in public and it's even worse, because now they're all gonna think he's a baby and not cool like them and he doesn't know whether to keep apologizing/crying or run away to hide forever.

* Luckily he's pretty easy to comfort once people try. He won't learn to laugh about it or anything but if people convince him they aren't mad or gonna make fun of him, he can meekly accept the offer to hang out or go back to join whatever group he left once he's cleaned up and had time to decompress.

* Doesn't really have an omo kin/k, but is a big sub with a humiliation kin/k so he could go along with it for his partner. He kinda likes the whole squirmy, blushy side of it and all the comfort and spoiling he gets afterwards uvu

Pi/xie Bob (blonde kitty teacher from the summer camp arc) :

* I actually don't have many for her since she was only in a few episodes, I just think she's really cute and cool

* Probably pretty good bladder capacity and strength to hold. High pain tolerance and endurance

* Would wet during a mission to avoid making mistakes bc she's a professional and isn't that embarrassed in the moment, but she thinks it's kinda gross and will shower ASAP afterwards. Also because her group is kind of idol-esque so there's a reputation on the line.

* Will go outdoors without much fuss if she needs to, but definitely prefers more civilized accommodations. You know she's got a nicer private bathroom than whatever general camp one the others have to use. Pros get privileges.

* Bounces/whines a lot when desperate and kind of paws at her crotch without really grabbing it. Lots of leg crossing and wriggling/hunching over. Only when by herself or with her close friends though. If she's in Pro-Hero mode trying to make good impressions or teaching camps, she can mask her needs remarkably well to focus on the task at hand. She forgets what she's saying periodically or has a shakier smile, but that's about it.

* FYI those giant cat paw gloves make getting a decent grip on her crotch imPAWsible

* Wetting is kind of embarrassing but she's also super relieved so it kind of balances out. Unless it happened live on tv or smth she'd probably be able to get over it pretty quickly. In front of any camper students she'd be embarrassed on the inside, but not let the flustering show. Instead she turns it into a teachable moment.

* Could have an omo kin/k or could not. We don't know a ton about her so I like flexible hcs.

[lumen-tellus]

ok so ive always hced as a joke that my circletti ocs have awful naming skills and that its a genetic thing somehow, but now im starting to think that maybe their lack of creative naming ability stems from their stifled, law-abiding angelic heritage maybe?? 

the angels of my personal worldbuilding are, after all, created with in-built instructions to observe the universe and maintain/enforce the laws set by their creator, and thats it. they were told thats their purpose, and thats it. and then their creator fucked off to nowhere and stopped sending any word, so all the angels have taken their instructions to be the sole thing they have and gotta do throughout the duration of their existence. they are servants and tools to maintain the integrity of what their creator has made---the watchers.

what their creator has absolutely failed to let them know (on purpose) is that they have and can have personalities and opinions. their creator made sure they had that potential, as difficult as it can be to realise because of their conflicting instructions that prioritize just being cogs in the machine basically. so all fallen angels are basically those angels that managed to see and feel their own individuality and budding ego, so to speak - but falling doesnt mean they straight up give up their machine-like essence or habit for being like that.

i mean - the first fallen angel named herself Lilith, and when prompted for a last name, just added Lilithud (in a slight panic bc she couldnt think of better). her twin daughters are similarly named in a v plain fashion, though i havent quite figured their names yet myself but i can assure you they dont have super cool names and dont have amazing naming skills themselves

like, one of those twin daughters - Maud, which isnt her real name - named a fallen angel who came to her ‘Soleil’, bc she lives somewhere in the french wilderness and said angel literally dropped down from the fucking sun (from her own perspective)

and then theres Evan and Philia aka Ange and May’s parents. Philia is a fallen angel and as of this writing, Evan is Maud’s sister’s son aka Maud’s nephew. now, both of them named themselves aka are using aliases for whatever real name theyve got, and while their aliases do sound marginally creative (well evan’s doesnt at all but thats a personal view), im willing to bet that Evan has a slightly less creative real name courtesy of his mom and Philia’s chinese name is Min Fei written with the characters for ‘people’ and ‘wings’ aka winged people. like. thats. straightforward af

and then comes Ange, whos chinese first name is written with the characters for ‘love’ and ‘reason’ or ‘power’ depending on how its written which even she thinks kind of sucks bc WOW CHEESY. May has a nicer chinese name but her english middle name ‘May’ is. nonetheless. just a convenient name taken out of her chinese name, Mei Li. in other words, Philia couldnt think of better names, and Evan is similar in addition to genuinely thinking Philia had great ideas for names.

and then theres Sylvia. she has a wonderful english name, but thats only bc i hc that Al gave her the name and ofc Al has better naming skills riporoo. Ange and May still got first dibs on her chinese first name which. depending on how its written is kinda funky or surprisingly eloquent, though spelling her chinese name in english does make it look boring a bit riporoo

and yeah i know technically im the one naming all my ocs but its funny to just think up a convoluted running joke and then figuring out there might be some weird rational logic to said joke via worldbuilding
