Rei Rei REI! That wip tag game you posted about—something caught my eye—Statistics Professor Ackerman??? Now I don’t know anything about statistics (one of the classes I was spared from thankfully haha) but I’m always down for some Professor Ackerman fics 🥰 Also I can’t wait to see this year’s Happy Birthday Levi event! It’s basically tradition at this point, no Christmas is complete without your countdown!

Anyway I hope you’re having a wonderful day/night, sending lots of love and hugs and kisses your way! 😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️

Star!!!! My darling!!!! <333

Hahahaha, my Statistics Professor Ackerman series is more like a collection of drabbles and one-shots set in the au where Levi is a statistics professor and reader is a part-time student in the university Levi teaches!!!

There isn't any chaptered series, nor does it follow a linear timeline; it's random scenarios involving Levi and reader!! Right now, I'm working on part two of a drabble, which is a direct continuation to part one, a request made from my Thirsty Thursday: A 100 Different Kisses hehe.

I also have a lot of other scenarios involving stats prof Levi which I'm excited to share!! Statistics Professor Ackerman was born because I was suffering so bad at statistics and I needed some outlet to project it HAHAHA. Most of the stuff will be nsfw lol, but there will be some fluffier scenarios too in the future 🤭

And yes!!! I'm so excited to plan Happy Birthday Levi this year too!! I feel weird if I don't do it. Like you said, it's basically a tradition now!!! What I have in mind is a little different from the past two years' events, so I'm really excited to finetune everything and share details about it in the future 🥰

Thank you for this lovely ask Star!!! I wish you a splendid weekend too ✨️ sending loads for hugs and kisses your way too 😘

OKAY SO…. the one where you run your fingers through their hair? aventurine 🤫 (also forgive me if it’s kinda long…)

why? because it reminds him of how a mother stokes the first few strands of their child. or how a sister brushes hair from their siblings eye when they play. aventurine as a child has this messy tussled hair— something about not being put together is so vulnerable.

anyways, as he lies their on the couch, you reading a book, your hands subconsciously running through his blond locks- he stops.

there is a poem i read by Dilruba Ahmed called ‘Phase One’ and the ending part hits so deep. I suggest you read the rest of the poem yourself!!

I forgive you. For growing

a capacity for love that is great

but matched only, perhaps, by your loneliness. For being unable

to forgive yourself first so you

could forgive others and

at last find a way to become

the love that you want in this world.

He won’t say anything, simply silence. and in those twilight hours, does he unravel and silently say ‘i love you’

13. Playing your fingers through their hair while sitting next to them on the couch. | "I forgive you, for growing a capacity for love that is great but matched only, perhaps, by your loneliness; for being unable to forgive yourself first so you could then forgive others and, at last, find a way to become the love you want in this world." — Phase One, Dilruba Ahmed

For all that he is, and for all that he wants to be (even if he is what he wants to be), Aventurine's pristine appearance buries beneath the child that is unkempt, unpolished, ragged. He wears clothes bearing the names of talented designers in the cosmos; has a watch from some pricey brand you fail to recall; is clad with shoes that touch the ground with a resounding clack, clack, clack because they are made from materials you would not see, as a regular citizen, in their lifetime.

Aventurine is always dressed to the nines, similarly strutting like a peacock with its tail raised: all thousand eyes darted and watching you, an observer, stare back.

Yet, in the arms of a beloved, the untouchable does not remain untouchable, and instead, becomes vulnerable, like shedding armor after a deadly battle. His head lays on your lap, while you idle your time away, nose buried in a book he's gotten you the other day. Time is often a luxury, and what time spent here just staring at you can be spent elsewhere making money, hungry for more, and greedy for everything, but you are here; simply unaware, or just blissfully ignorant that every second sitting here is wasted.

But you don't have that mentality, do you? You've lived life with no urgency to it. Failure falls upon you, and you decide it's okay to stumble. There is no moments where you have to sit and lap at your wounds, because there was nothing for you to get hurt from; nothing to heal from.

Your fingers course through hair normally styled, perfect, and, to you, the simple act is nothing. You've known security from the start, and he's yet to be familiar with it. Perhaps he's slowly doing so, because, when that realization comes to him, it stings.

It stings his eyes, and he turns his head away from you.

(You know more than you do. When Kakavasha turns, hot liquid staining your pajamas, you innocently swipe a thumb over his eyes to wipe away the tears. You let him weep, silently.)

Your work is delightful, I love the care you're putting in each design! If it isn't in your queue yet, would you do a Sand Wraith? I particularly love their original Rise of Berk model, reminds me a bit of bearded dragons... If you have, maybe a scuttleclaw? I LOVE their little faces and the adult is so dorky <33

(@ladydoe8, @koifishslushie)

I wasn't kidding about the requests for the Sand Wraith! Like, holy cow! People really like the Sand Wraiths!!!

I know the poll isn't officially over yet, but I was a dummy yesterday and started it very late in the evening and waiting for it would have left me with very little free time to finish the drawing ^^"

In the end, I went with the Big Family option and also handpicked a couple suggestions from some of your comments and tags ;3

Dragon #28 - A whole bunch of Sand Wraiths!

I didn't know who to say this too but i was about to explode thinking about this and you are one of the few people in hsr fandom that i trust to understand ratio so my apologies to be dumping this on you all of a sudden but... I think Ratio's technique is so interesting in a way and speaks more about him than people give it credit for. Like...creating a fake version of himself that aggros the enemy is already very meta of how hsr fandom tends to see him, esp with the number of people that started hating him after that "betrayal" scene in 2.1 xD And it makes me wonder about his voiceline where he says something like "im fine with showing my true self if it helps me teach students/cures patients but i find that doing so is counterproductive most of the time"...wdym "true self" sir...and why are your character details completely devoid of any details from your own pov...and why do you get so evasive when anyone tries to ask about your past (going by that one interview when someone asked him what he was like as a child and he's just like "what a silly question, i was a normal boy")...it seems to me the princess is hiding something...

Thank you for your ask OP! It's really interesting to think about your question, and I'm humbled by your trust! I hope whatever I cook can satisfy you in some way. It's going to be a bit long!!

Let's start by saying I do operate under the belief that we know a lot about Dr Ratio and at the same time we only know what he wants us to know, which I find incredibly interesting to his character.

It can go many different ways. A lot of people use this mysteriousness to hint at the following:

1. something sinister (I am not necessarily saying you are doing this)

2. suggesting that he is more than who he is, like he may be more than who he presents to be (may or may not be evil in alignment but just more)

3. he really just thinks divulging further personal information about him is pointless and he values his privacy as an individual rather than a prominent figure

Let me now unpack the most wrongest [sic] take, number 1, which I find to be antithetical to his character, because Dr Ratio has always been aligned with doing good. He isn't your typical good person, but he is morally pushing for good (eradication of ignorance, people finding and reaching their potential etc), and he rather he reminds me of a very stern but nonetheless kind educator who genuinely demands good be brought into the world through one's aptitude and ability (just like himself) and not relying on others to solve problems for you

Number 2 is a little tricky, since we cannot really confirm nor deny that Ratio is no longer truly following Nous after he realizes he will never be acknowledged, he may be aligned to another Aeon or none entirely! I personally dislike the Mythus/Fictionologist take, because again it is antithetical to who he is as a character. Fictionologists will rewrite history and twists facts in order to create the possibility of uncovering more, but this is akin to something called accelerationism, which is in plain words to incite chaos (bad) in the slim chances that from the chaos a great good might emerge/ be produced/discovered etc, a practice and ideology I feel Dr Ratio as he is characterized now would be extremely against. Now I do subscribe to the fact that Dr Ratio may not be following an Aeon at all or we aren't privy to who they are yet, but this is a possibility that there is a facet to Dr Ratio we have not seen yet and will down the line so...

Number 3 is where I am at now, I really, genuinely think Dr Ratio just thinks of himself as some guy who was gifted with the equivalent of 8 genius brains but it isn't anything exceptional. From how he acts, he feels like some guy who had a rather normal childhood (if not really lonely, which I talk about in my twitter thread here) and grew up to be exceptional except in all the ways he wanted/was taught to want/thought he might want.

So I operate on several headcanons about Ratio just genuinely being so smart in a planet that is presumably the remnants of the civilization in the Laurel Wreath Galaxy where a Philosopher King/Philosopher Union was mentioned. This headcanon is heavily colored by this excellent theory a fellow fan made and I have to admit I can scarcely distinguish between mine and theirs while I turn him around in my brain so do give them/their thread a read too when you can, but I do also subscribe to how Ratio must have been exceptional in a civilization that prizes scholarship and enlightenment.

Knowing this, I presume he grew up with a lot of expectations placed upon him, particularly that of gaining the gaze or glance of Nous and ascending as a genius society member or more! That is a lot to place on an individual, especially someone like Ratio who is very much hinted to have grown up very fast due to his vast knowledge and while it's a stretch to say he was forced into growing up fast, because he def wasn't, he was nevertheless seemingly not really given much opportunities to be a child, as the push for him to start university very early could suggest that his aptitude and potential were so valued that it overridden any other needs he may have. If we wanted to ask about his childhood, he would have very dull things to say too, so to speak. I imagine it wasn't eventful at all, but filled with just studies.

Where am I going with this about his statues? They are called Mold of Idolatry! Idolatry meaning the extreme adoration or love of someone. That Dr Ratio makes the statues of himself never seems like the narcissistic sort, that would imply he holds himself in an extremely high regard to the detriment of others, but Dr Ratio isn't narcissistic, he would be a vastly different character if he was. The key to narcissism is that there is a great need, to the point of detriment, for admiration.

Now, look over to how Dr Ratio presents himself to us in his 1.6 quests. He wears his plaster head as not to be recognized by others, to remain incognito if you will, and is content to sit at the sidelines nudging things along in the background rather than swoop in and take the credit as the hero when Duke Inferno was trying to wreak havoc on the Space Station. His heroic deeds are never realized by the people he saved from being spaced, that is not an action of a narcissistic man who would gloat about saving other people. No, he sees his job is done and he walks away without fanfare, without even so much as seeking a thank you from the people he saved. That's one of the clearest and most well-thought of character introductions/demonstrations in the game and a solid proof that he isn't a narcissist (again self-centeredness is different!)

With that in mind, what does the statue imply?

Dr Ratio operates by redirecting attention not to himself so he can freely move in the background. That it looks like him in funny poses speaks to a silliness I feel he never really gets a chance to let loose too often, so his "art" is his outlet. That it directs enemies to attack that instead of him, I can't help but feel like there's a sense of "look at this 'image of me' others have built up, pour your love/expectations/wants/aspirations (and the extreme opposite of that maybe?) to that likeness of me instead, and let me be free from that to be who I could be without all of that baggage"

tl;dr -- it's not that deep but it is?? I feel like Ratio just wants to be left alone to do his thing and that's what the Mold of Idolatry represents.

I hope that satisfies you, anon! Thank you for your question, since I do have more insights to Dr Ratio now. I think I'll also find a way to condense this into a Twitter thread sometime.

Helloooo I know I just commented on one of your posts (The marichat one tbh) and right after that I saw the akumatized Marinette/Princess justice and stuff and I couldn't help but ask myself a million questions all in a minisecond but I thought who would it be better to overthink these questions with than the creator?? So I just really wanted to ask

How does Chat Noir react to figuring out that Marinette is princess justice (if not that he already knew she was princess justice)?? Does Marinette have this thing for Chat noir where she doesn't necessarily harm him, just more like, try to dodge him?? Or does she attack?? Like in copycat when Copycat didn't harm Ladybug , but targeted Chat noir

Also, does Chat Noir knowing that Marinette is princess justice affect his way of combating/fighting ?? Does he try to stop her or talk some sense into her to convince her to unakumatize herself ??? ALSOO ONE LAST QUESTION, DOES SCARABELLA NOTICE MAYBE (if Chat Noir does indeed dodge the fighting style and stuff) HE'S NOT FIGHTING??

ALR ALR

I’ve been thinking about this because I’m still trying to get the “plot” for this episode done right, but IF he finds out Marinette has been Akumatized:

HE’LL BE LIKE,, really concerned for her?? Like he would try to comfort her but since he doesn’t know her all that well it’ll end up flopping a bit. But he’s lowkey trying to charm/flirt with her EVEN THOUGH she’s Akumatized to snap her out of it

Unfortunately since she’s been Akumatized based on angry emotions, she’s very hostile towards both of them. Kind of blinded by rage. But he does do this cute thing where he dances with her in the middle of the battle instead of fighting and she’s caught off-guard 😼

SCARABELLA FS NOTICES LMAOO, she’s highkey pressed he’s not fighting this akuma either while she’s getting whooped. She doesn’t realize it’s Marinette though until after she’s been rescued.

Marinette probably breaks into tears and apologize to Chat Noir and he’s like “you’re good it happens to the best of us” and super kind but he doesn’t understand that she’s apologizing because she’s Ladybug and let herself be Akumatized and she couldn’t be there to help him so he had to deal with it on his own.

[10yrratiolover]

Hello! I hope you're doing well! 😁 Ratio question for you on this fine day, provided you haven't talked about it already (sorry if you have!)

In your opinion, do you think he's still trying to get into the Genius Society? Or has he resigned himself to the idea that it won't happen? And if so, what do you think he feels about the whole thing now? I imagine it have been hard for him to accept if so.

Hi! I think I mentioned my thoughts on him and the Genius Society in passing in one of my posts but I've never really gone too into detail on it.

So, I believe it was in my character stories post that I said this

Which does pretty much capture my thoughts on him sort of giving one final attempt to prove himself worth of the GS and instead receiving a letter from the IPC.

However I will absolutely go more into detail on what I believe his thoughts on the GS to be.

So, I believe that deep down Ratio was always at least somewhat aware of the fact that he wouldn't get into the GS, though as I stated in my character story post I don't think he truly swallowed that pill until he received that letter from the IPC.

Ratio knows himself well and it's easy to tell that he sticks out from the members of the GS (that we know of), not only in just his achievements and research, but who he is and how he acts. He was always subconsciously aware of the fact that he perhaps cared too much about people, but individuals and humanity as a whole.

His Planetary Weapon was a last ditch attempt of sorts to try and prove that he too can seek knowledge without taking life into account, though the letter he did receive made him realize that wasn't the type of person he wanted to be.

(There's a wonderful post by @/overdressedcarp that incapsulates my thoughts on the Planetary Weapon in much better words and I'd recommend reading that as well!)

I think a deeper part of him may still hold onto a bit of hope that he still can make it, however he's mostly forced himself to drop the ambition.

This heavy rejection would certainly brew a lot of conflicting emotions, especially considering getting into the GS has likely been a goal for years for him. I believe Ratio wouldn't have the greatest skills with emotional regulation considering most of his life has been centered around logic and things that tend to be black and white, yes or no. Emotions are confusing, complicated, and often they don't have one solid answer.

I think he may have been bitter for a while afterwards, not towards the GS who he holds a very high amount of respect for given his interactions with them, not even towards Nous, but towards himself and how soft-hearted he is beyond the hard-stone of his alabaster head. Bitter is the best word I can think of if I had to only use only one. Melancholic, spiteful, depressed, I can imagine his students noticed he was a bit snappier following this event.

Ok more IP3 then! Very curious about any headcanons you’ve got for the Ratio-Topaz side of the polycule

anon you are my new favorite person.

i will admit, im mostly coming up with these on the go, because despite my raging hyperfixation, a decent portion of my headcanons just tend to be projection xD

they are both amazing at math, but they drive each other insane with it. topaz just does insane problems in her head, and while veri can do that, he's generally a more visual thinker

they have absolutely raced each other to find the solution to a math problem.

neither of them are the gift giving type (unlike aventurine), but they will occassionally buy each other expensive things for the other's hobby.

ex: topaz buying veritas sculpting tools, or veri buying her things for her animals

both of them are very routine oriented. topaz is a little more flexible just because she travels for the ipc, but still!

if they're both home, they do their routines together! it took a little bit of experimenting and adjusting things so they weren't bumping into each other at every step, but they got there.

depending on where they are, they might also video call while they're doing the morning/night routines when they're separate.

if aventurine tries to pull off another plan even remotely similiar to penacony, someone's getting strangled and put in the corner.

both of them (all three of them, really) have insanely varying opinions on the ipc as a whole. ratio is more negative, because as an outsider, he's able to see it more objectively than the other two. topaz has a very gray opinion on it, because they saved her people, but she's learned just how much damage they've done to other places.

one of topaz's cake cats is named after a greek phillospher, who totally isn't from veritas prime, not at all!

that is. all i can come up with right now, but really, thank you for the ask!!
