#their general gay aura

[batssybaby]

so i’m pretty new to batjokes/the dc fandom (as in the past seven days new) but in every fic i’ve read, the joker has felt… so familiar to me. like i’ve known him as a character for years. and it’s been so easy for me to get into his headspace and write his voice and so this entire past week i’ve been like ? what is going ON is this like a weird soulmate character thing?? is the joker my one true fictional dude?? i mean i’m cool with it he’s funky but wtf ?? but i just realized. it’s. he’s rumplestiltskin once upon a time.

[no1totell]

for a masc lesbian i attract a really incredible amount of male attention. i think guys must like the utterly disparaging attitude i employ towards them

[rcbertsugden]

I did not sleep last night because I'm so excited to see A View From The Bridge today like I am not in the slightest bit a theatre nerd except for this one play. I've got two copies of it, I'm currently listening to my playlist that reminds me of it and I'm definitely going to reread the copy I'm bringing to get signed by the cast on the train into London despite last reading it a week and a half ago. Its just so messy and soapy and fucked up and scratches a very specific itch in my soul and I've been wanting to see it live for 10 years but I've never found a production I could get to from where I've lived so this is such a long time coming and I'm so so excited to finally see it performed.

[emblemcest]

Still can't stop fucking thinking about that one post that's like 'the great thing about Cole is that he's simultaneously gay and in love with his sister.'

Revolutionised my understanding of characters tbh. Literally cannot think of a better metric for the quality male character is other than that. It's simple, it's clean, it's so easy to understand:

Is he:

a) gay?

b) in love with his sister?

If Yes, he is a good male character.

That's all you need to know. 10/10 no notes.

⋆⭒˚.⋆ The Good Witch: Glinda Upland Inspired Things To Script

❝ Popular! You're gonna be popular!❞ this things to script was made at the request of @cinnamoncilla, hope you enjoy <3 once again this was heavily inspired by the now deactivated @premiumbitch

-`♡´- Center Of Attention

Like our dear pretty princess in pink you are always the talk of the town (or oz in this case!) no matter where you are whether that's in munchkin land or down at the ozdust, eyes are on you. Every time you walk into a room, you are instantly bombarded with attention. All eyes are on you, your name is on their lips, their thoughts only filled with good things about you. People are constantly in complete awe in whatever you do. From a simple toss of the hair to a funny quip people are constantly amazed by you.

-`♡´- Royal Treatment

It seems as if everyone was made to be at your service. People move out of the way when they see you coming. Do you need a spot at lunch? The whole table is cleared. People fan you when you are too hot, hand you some water when you are thirsty, hell people would get down on all fours so you could sit on them when you are feeling tired. No one ever messes with this hierarchy, in fact people love it. People live for you and they would die for you if needed.

-`♡´- Glinda The Good

You are kindhearted, warm, and caring. You are quick to help someone in need, land a warm shoulder, and even put yourself aside even if it's for a second just to make someone feel better. Some may even say that you are magic, your presence could change the gloomy gray sky into a beautiful blue. You could make flowers bloom from wherever you stand. People naturally gravitate towards you. You are comforting and a breath of fresh air. Through the darkest times, you offer a beacon of hope and light for all.

-`♡´- General Glinda Things

You have a radiate glow around you, your aura appears to be as golden and as bright as the sun.

Although you are so careless and have a heart of gold, that doesn't mean you allow people to walk over you. No, you are determined to get what you want, and you would stop at nothing to get it. People adore you, but they are smart enough to know not to cross you.

You have an alluring personality. People want to be around you naturally. Whether it's romantic or platonic, people desire to be in your presence.

You are multifaceted, deeper than what meets the eye. People whom you genuinely care about become the most important aspect of your life, you find yourself willing to do anything and everything just to put a smile on your face.

Pink is your color, no pink is your brand.

Your beauty is unmatched, and you are the standard. People constantly walk around questioning how they can achieve your perfect features; your jawline, cheekbones, plump pink lips, your everything.

Obviously you are wealthy and very influential, you are a household name. Everywhere you go your reputation proceeds you, you are that popular!

Your voice is crafted by an angel, it soothes, heals, it is simply magic. People are in awe of your voice, each note you sing ends with a standing ovation from whoever is nearby.

You are a natural born leader, causing everyone to follow in your footsteps without even trying.

You are a radiant ball of sunshine, you are a bubbly, passionate popular, and lovable (and totally adorable)

You're gay.

[self-loving-vampire]

The Lord of the Rings is generally well-regarded relative to a lot of other conservative fiction and a big part of that has to do with its sincerity and overall gentle spirit. It kinda comes with the territory with making the protagonist a small, unassuming, and vulnerable hobbit whose greatest strength is not his fighting ability but his capacity to resist the temptation of power and domination even at the cost of his well-being.

A more typical conservative would be more inclined to make the protagonist of something like this into some kind of Doomguy figure. A stoic killing machine whose entire existence is built around Cleansing the Undesirables without mercy and who would never in a million years "lose aura" by crying or complaining about his burden, much less sympathize with Gollum or get gay with Sam.

It would be a much more spiteful, hollow work.

Also there would be a suspicious and graphic preoccupation about orc sexuality and orc NTR.

[theunholybastard]

Could you do more era 3 ghoul content??? Anything, go wild lol

Absolutely!!! Perfect excuse for me to dump all my headcanons 😈🙏 I have not written NEARLY enough for this era smh </3

Era 3 Ghouls General Headcanons

(CW - Brief mentions of sex and poly/open sexual relationships)

Omega

•Very popular headcanon I know, but Terzo and him are lovers. Duh, goes without saying.

•Open relationship, but even with permission, Omega doesn't like to sleep around much; not without Terzo, at least.

•Big softy. Biggest softy. Can't watch sad movies. Or happy ones. He'll cry either way.

•Hopeless romantic. Long walks on the beach at sunset, candlelight dinner, rose petals everywhere, the whole shebang. Needs it like oxygen.

•Loves kids. Always dreamt about being a father, having a big family. Like, a big family, 5-6 kits ideally.

•Him and Alpha are always arm wrestling in the Ghoul den. Terzo is forbidden from being watching because he enjoys it wayyyy too much.

Alpha

•Resting bitch face under that mask. He's a chill guy, but he sure doesn't look like it.

•Also loves kids, but unfortunately, kids don't seem to like him. He's just too big and intimidating, and his aura is just a wee bit less pleasant for the little ones than Omegas is.

•Not to mention he's a bit awkward around them. Like he does not know how to talk to kids at all, just treats them like mini adults. (Like "Hey man what's up" to an infant or some shit)

•Has the opposite of a sweet tooth. He will physically recoil if the tiniest bit of sugar is in his coffee. He needs it black and scalding, anything else is like desert in a cup.

•May or may not have fucked Secondo once. Or twice. Or maybe a bit more than that. Who's counting?

Mist

•Genderqueer sapphic (no I'm not projecting)

•Them and Sunshine... Yeah, lovers.

•Mist and Sunny are probs the only Ghoul couple in the Ministry that is strictly monogamous. It's against a Ghouls nature to only have one partner, Ghouls are by default poly and insatiably lustful creatures. These two just happened to defy all odds.

•Very protective. They sre small but mighty and WILL bite a motherfuckers ear off. Quite confrontational when prompted.

•Big nature lover! Especially bodies of water. (She's a water Ghoul, after all)

•When they're having a bad day, they'll just go to the nearest pond or lake and wade in the water, the sound of toads croaking and crickets chirping calming her enough to return to civilization.

•People (Pebble, mostly) have had to physically pull her out of the water because she won't stop recreating the painting of Ophelia anytime she is slightly inconvenienced. They may be a bit dramatic sometimes.

Pebble

•Evil little gay boy. Not really, but kinda.

•Pissing people off is his hobby. It gets him all giggly. #1 ragebaiter.

•He has a soft spot for Mist, they're probably the only Ghoul he won't intentionally be a little shit to. BFFs 4eva <3

•Absolutely TERRIFIED of Primo. Hides behind Alpha anytime hes around. Alpha hates it.

•Takes up a lot of hobbies spontaneously. Literally anything you can think of, he's tried out for at least a week. He's been getting real good at glassblowing recently.

•DON'T touch his drums. He doesn't trim his claws and he will go for the eyes first.

Ifrit

•Loud talker. Absolutely terrible at volume control, if he's not actively thinking about it, he's yelling every sentence.

•Lover of spicy foods, the more tongue-numbing the better. Handles it better than any other fire Ghoul, it's scary...

•Big ol' goofball. You can't take anything he says seriously, it's either a setup to a joke or an elaborate prank. Ghouls will be Ghouls, I guess.

•Secretly a huge magic nerd and is VERY ashamed of it. Pebble is his #1 bully about it. Only a select few can be trusted to see him do a trick or two. He's very good at slight of hand.

•Old ladies seem to love him. I don't know why. He doesn't either. He's not complaining though, he fucking loves being invited to bingo night.

Zephyr

•Fiber glass eater. I am so serious he thinks that shit is delicious.

•Chronic pain, mainly in his legs and back. Lucifer knew he would be too strong if he had full mobility.

•Closest with Ifrit and Mist. Other than that, he doesn't really enjoy being around that many people. Not because he's a hater (like Pebble) but because he's a loner. Fiercely protective over the few he lets occupy his company.

•Quiet. Doesn't talk often, but when he does, he's very direct and well spoken, cool and calm, never raising his voice.

•Clueless. Cannot read social cues, its takes someone starts screaming at him for him to realize he may have said something upsetting.

•Ifrit is always "borrowing" his clothes because he just smells too damn good. He pretends to be annoyed by it but in reality he's actually flattered. He's a terrible liar too, hence why Ifrit continues to "borrow."

Phil/Special

•Probably the most normal guy in the Ministry.

•Hes slightly off-putting sometimes because he zones out quite a bit and doesn't realize he's staring into someones soul. Even when he isn't zoning out his eye contact is really intense.

•Also likes to keep to himself most of the time. Nobody really knows what he does all day by himself, nobody asks. Enjoys the company of Zephyr and Alpha on the occasion.

•Cannot play music for the life of him, which is why he wasn't in the touring band. He tried to learn anything, guitar, drums, singing, and he sucks at all equally. It kinda bums him out sometimes, because he's so damn passionate about music. Its chill though, he enjoys his role in the Ministry fine enough. What is his role, exactly? Uhhhhhhhhh

Snow White and the Evil Queen

synopsis:- The Evil King, Kaiser, has just found out that some whimsy guy with skin as white as snow (not really), named Alexis Ness, is the finest shyt of them all! After some mid witchcraft, it is up to you, the princess, to save Snow Nes– I mean White.

warnings:- fluff, crack, mentions of witchcraft and poisoning, seven short gym bros, an ad break

🌸:- so the nonconsensual kissing of unconscious peoples in the OG story always weirded me out so theres obvious consent here, also no one is kissing unconscious people thats disgusting. also thank you so so much to @jeonwiixard for beta reading i love u ho

divider creds to @/uzmacchiato

A long while ago, back when people didn't have wifi, they used to spend almost all of their time in front of cursed mirrors instead. And by 'they' I mean Kaiser, The Infamous Evil King.

No one knew where he'd gotten the mirror. Some say he got it for 30% off at Walmart. In his defense, it seemed like a good deal.

Anyway, every day, he would ask his enchanted mirror the same question.

"Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the finest shyt of them all?"

And for years, the mirror lied comfortably, like a toxic best friend.

"Obviously you, King. Look at that winged eyeliner."

But then came a day when the mirror was particularly thirsty for drama.

"Actually... it's Ness. He was voted white boy of the month, don't blame me."

Hearing that made Kaiser so infuriated that he threw a Swarovski-encrusted goblet at the wall.

"WHAT?! NESS?! The stable boy with those god-awful Labubus?!"

The mirror flinched. "The forest aesthetic gave him mad aura. He glows now. He has thousands of followers on Faestagram. He even winked at that cute princess."

Kaiser scowled. "Fine! If he wants to be the finest, then he can be the deadest too!"

"That's not a word..."

Ignoring the mirror, Kaiser snaps his fingers. "Oh, Royal Huntsman! I summon thee!"

In came Isagi, looking as tired as ever. "Yes, Your Royal Pain-in-the-Ass?" he deadpanned.

Kaiser ignores that too.

"I need you to take care of a certain... stable boy for me. Take him into the woods and make sure he never comes back."

"You want me to kill Ness."

Kaiser shrugged. “Let the wolves have him. I don't care.”

“I thought you liked Ness.”

“I liked being prettier than Ness.”

“...You're insane.”

Kaiser grinned. It was almost maniacal. “And you work for me.”

Isagi sighed in a way that clearly showed how done he was with his shit.

“I need a new job.”

With the promise of views that would make for some bomb selfie backgrounds, Isagi lured Ness into the woods.

Ness twirled. “Wow, such fresh air! I feel radiant. This is doing wonders for my skin!”

“You're literally wearing perfume.”

“I prepared for this journey. It's called aesthetic.”

“You know you're supposed to be dead, right?”

Ness paused. “Like… metaphorically?”

Isagi pulled out a dagger.

Ness started screaming like a generic anime girl and threw a raccoon at him.

Chaos ensured.

Eventually, Isagi gave up, rubbed his temples and snapped, “JUST GO. Run into the woods. Hide in a cottage. I don't know. I don't care. I'll tell Kaiser you tragically tripped over your own narcissism and drowned in a puddle.”

Ness sniffled dramatically. “You… you're letting me live?”

“No. Isagi is a free elf, bitch.”

After a near death experience with some incredibly violent tree branches, Ness found himself at a suspiciously symmetrical cottage.

Outside, a sign read, ‘NO SKINNY LIFTERS.”

In the cottage, lived seven cursed gym bros, all once tall and hot, now short and beefy.

Their names were; Biceps, Triceps, Glutes, Back, Chest, Legs and Shoulders. They even had a cat named ‘Pre-Workout’.

Ness, of course, stumbled inside. Ah, you can't take him anywhere!

The seven short, aggressively-jacked men were all shirtless, and glistened with sweat. They were all doing various workouts while Taylor Swift's ‘Bejeweled’ played in the background.

“...Did I die and go to gay Valhalla?”

Bicep paused mid-plank. “You're not protein.”

Chest scowled at the trail of glitter Ness left behind. “And you're shedding sequins on our yoga mats! We use those for pilates, you know!”

Glutes gasped. “Is he injured? Or just that radiant??”

“I swear to John Cena if this is another cursed royal…,” started Shoulders.

Ness clutched his pearls. “I am not cursed! I'm persecuted! And I've walked for hours. My fresh manicure broke! A squirrel threw an acorn at me!”

Glutes looked over to his frat brothers with his large doe eyes. “Can we keep him? Please?”

Legs sighed. “Can he cook?”

“Can he spot?”

Ness perked up. “I can make a divine mushroom omelet! And I sparkle when I cry.”

All seven gym bros turned to each other, and nodded slowly.

“He may stay.”

You were a wandering princess who heard rumors of ‘a boy finer than the king and dumb enough to trust raccoons', so naturally your first instinct was to investigate.

You found Ness dramatically pretending to faint in a meadow. He fluttered his lashes when you touched his shoulder.

“Oh, dear Princess!” he cried out with a hand to his temple. “I think I have been poisoned! By jealousy!”

You blinked. Then sniffed. Then sniffed again.

“Is that Bleu de Chanel I smell on you?”

Suddenly the world became dark. A single spotlight shone down on Ness as jazz played faintly in the background.

He flipped his hair in slow motion. Water droplets came out of nowhere.

In his hand was a bottle of perfume, which he held gently as he stared into an imaginary camera.

He spoke in an obnoxiously french accent. “Pride by LGBTQ. Wear your colors.”

Everything went back to normal after that.

“Um… what the fuck was that?” you asked.

Ness chuckled, his voice going back to normal. “It was a sponsorship. I'm an influencer, honey, how do you think I pay my bills?” (a/n:- this is a joke, there are no sponsors <- for legal purposes)

“Oh, okay,” you were already used to the weirdness in fairytales from experience, so you didn't let it get to you.

Then just as you thought nothing weird was gonna happen again, a shadow fell over the meadow once again.

“Step away from her.”

It was Kaiser, emerging from the fog like he paid the weather to match his mood. Which wasn't that unlikely now that I think about it. Anyway, his cloak was billowing. Rings glinting. Hair slicked back with excessive amounts of rage and hair gel.

“Really?” you deadpanned. “Witchcraft? Again? Micheal, we've talked about this.”

He looked at you with stormy eyes and his mouth twisted into a pout. He ignored Ness entirely. “You should've picked me.”

“You literally tried to murder a man with a fruit basket! I mean, look at him!” You shoved Ness’ face towards him. “Does he look like he can do any bad thing ever?”

“Darling, he winked at you! The audacity!”

You rolled your eyes. “And you tried to turn a forest into an ice biome because I said I liked winter.”

“I was being festive.”

Before anyone could throw hands or poisoned apples, the gym bros appeared. All shirtless and oiled up and holding tree logs as dumbbells.

“Who's threatening the sparkle twink?”

Kaiser squinted. “What the… Why are they so small?”

“We got cursed at a rave,” muttered one.

Chaos nearly broke out until Ness, sensing a romantic climax, gasped, clutched his chest and dramatically collapsed into a fake coma.

“Only a true love's kiss can save me!” he wailed pre-collapse. “Just saying!!”

Everyone turned to you, the hero in this story.

You, who had never signed up for this nonsense, sighed, knelt and leaned in.

Only to be yanked back by Kaiser.

He growled, “If you kiss him, I'll…I'll hex the moon!”

You stared him down. “And if I kiss you?”

Silence.

Even the birds stopped singing.

“...Then I'll burn every mirror in the kingdom and let you ruin me,” he replied way too fast to be nonchalant.

Ness sat up, offended. “HEY—”

You kissed Kaiser cuz well, who could resist?

It was electric, ridiculous, and lowkey kind of hot if you ignored all the gym bros watching.

Somewhere in the distance, the cursed mirror exploded in protest. It was just that good.

Kaiser pulled back, dazed. “I forgive Ness for existing.”

You smirked. “You're welcome.”

In the end, Ness became a loved forest influencer with 2.7 million followers, the gym bros embraced their dwarfism and opened up a gym named Flex and Hex available to fae of all heights and you and Kaiser ruled together, with him making laws out of pettiness and you vetoing 70% of them.

And you all lived happily ever after.

[swanonymous]

Ok I finished the OUAT rock opera! Thoughts:

-Cruella ate this whole thing up ngl. Ursula and Ariel were great, too. Overall the cast got a decent laugh out of me

-I think they mentioned tacos like twice in this? I totally forgot about that, but now I think I’m a sleeper agent and my conditioning will get triggered the next time I hear that word

-Chatttt, how much aura do I lose if I admit that I would unironically bump Charmingstein and Tinker My Bell 😭 the other songs were kinda forgettable though

-Honestly, this whole thing fits in between season 3a & 3b well enough where I’d buy it if you told me it’s canon lol

-Glad they acknowledged SwanQueen a little at the end there. Just in general the in jokes all worked pretty well (tacos, Neal’s rent, Ruby randomly showing up, all the subtle jokes about Mulan and Aurora being gay, etc)

-No idea what the FUCK was goin on with Rumple but it’s ok because I lost my shit laughing when he finally showed up

-Also: Charming’s stupid ass sacrifice made me lose it. David is just built different

-Snow with the ukulele 😭 Mary Margaret Blanchard apology video when???

Overall a batshit good time. Made me wonder if I was high the entire time (I didn’t consume anything that would have that effect at all today) so that’s some kind of achievement I suppose. Overall 8/10, would watch again

The Silco Saga, Part Two*: Vander and Silco haunt the narrative (and are kinda gay for each other)

*This is the second (well, actually third) post in a series I’ve lovingly dubbed “The Silco Saga, a retrospective after Season 2”. It’s halfway between flow of conscience, meta, headcanon and review, spawned from my Arcane brainrot (and recent S1 rewatch) and vaguely aimed at trying to reevaluate the entirety of Arcane with a focus on my Main Man™ Silco. Here is Part 1 (on how S2 handled Silco and Jinx’s relationship) and Part 1.5 (miscellaneous thoughts regarding timeline issues and Silco’s actions towards the kids in S1ep3).

Please feel free to comment! I love hearing different perspectives on this show.

Also, quick disclaimer (just in case it wasn’t clear from the title of this post): I ship them. Don’t like, don’t read. And I swear to God, if I hear anyone say “but they’re brothers!!!1!”, know that I’m going to curse your entire genome until the thermal death of the Universe. Bye.

——————————————————

Vander’s original sin

The portrayal of Vander that emerges from S1 and S2 is that of a man who is trying to do good by his people, but is plagued by guilt and shame due to the horrific acts of violence he committed in the past. S2 clearly shows us that the events of the Day of Ash and the subsequent attempted murder of his best friend/comrade/homoerotic situationship (I’m looking at you, Brokeback Mountain jackets) were intensely traumatic not just for Silco, but for Vander as well. I’ll admit I didn’t much care for him in S1 (mostly because of his goody-two-shoes aura which most of the fandom seemed to latch on to), but I think the elements S2 added to his backstory turned him into a wonderfully complex and contradictory character. It cements something I already kind of sensed about him in S1: that there’s a distinct layer of hypocrisy in Vander’s strict adherence to pacifism (to the point of inaction), which is not really a byproduct of a deeply held personal belief about the ethics of non-violence, but instead a way to cope with his guilt about Silco and the other victims of the Day of Ash revolt. Vander chooses to “atone” for his sins by suppressing all forms of violence, both internal and external, thus generating a safe but stifling environment in which the Lanes survive, but arguably cannot thrive long-term. And in line with Arcane’s tragic narrative, he gets ultimately punished for it: he’s forced to loose all that he holds dear (Silco, the kids and his peaceful little world) and to ultimately embody what he hates and fears most about himself (being a violent monster only capable of destruction).

During my first watch of S2 I couldn’t really figure out whether I liked or not the fact that Felicia’s death was the reason for Vander’s “betrayal” of Silco (it felt a bit contrived and love-triangle-y), but after giving it much thought I have decided that, in fact, I quite like it. It plays heavily into the theme of guilt being central to Vander’s character, and how this guilt really ends up snowballing into something completely unmanageable. Guilt about Felicia (and probably many others that died on that day) leads him to turn on Silco; and later, guilt about Silco ultimately makes him give up all violent means of revolution because he’s too afraid to harm the people he loves. Guilt also becomes a motivating factor for his adoption of Vi and Powder, since we now know he’s not just selflessly picking up two strays, but acting on a promise done to a dear friend who’s just died because of him. The fact that the details of his “betrayal” of Silco are kept pretty much a secret also reeks of guilt and shame. There’s this layer of selfishness and cowardice to his actions that I find very refreshing for a character that’s introduced to us as the closest thing to a paragon of virtue in all of Arcane.

It’s deeply tragic how his inability to properly deal with his past impacts the rest of the narrative; perhaps, had he told Vi the real reason for his unwillingness to rise against Piltover, and not the wishy-washy “violence bad, be responsible” speech, she would have been less rash and black-and-white in her thinking.

I wish S2 spend more time on the two sisters reflecting on Vander and Silco’s relationship. While it’s natural for us to draw parallels between the dyads Vi-Jinx and Vander-Silco, in reality their situations are quite different. There was no ‘betrayal’ between Vi and Jinx, just two grief-stricken children unable to handle an immensely tragic situation; but, due to the ‘lessons’ imparted to them from their ‘parents’ (lessons which themselves were distorted due to their own inability to deal with their past), they are led to believe their situation is as hopelessly unsolvable as it was for Vander and Silco.

The letter

I still haven’t decided on whether the letter would have worked on Silco or not. I think timing plays a big factor. The Silco we meet in arc 1 of S1 probably wouldn’t have been swayed; he’s already too set in his “rebirth” mentality, and the new man he has become doesn’t care about Vander’s sentimental platitudes. A younger Silco, with less time to crystallize into his new identity… maybe. I think the Best Timeline of S2ep7 (yes, that’s what I’m calling it) sort of implies that Silco got the letter almost immediately, given the state of his wound (and the absence of Shimmer).

I wonder if we are also meant to implicitly understand that his use of Shimmer in the Worst Timeline (a.k.a. Arcane, the Netflix show) had some kind of negative influence on his psyche. After all, Shimmer does seem to impact the emotions of its users; if it did influence Silco’s radicalization, it would make his story doubly tragic. I’ve always found his use of Shimmer an interesting tidbit in S1, and the fact that the show doesn’t explain it very much beyond using it to show the amount of trust between him and Jinx has always been very intriguing to me.

Anyway. I think that, in any case, the letter would have been only the first step in Silco and Vander’s trajectory towards reconciliation. They both have a lot of issues to unpack; I love the headcanon going around that one of Silco’s prerequisites to their “peace treaty” is for Vander to rejoin the political fight for Zaun. It sounds just so… in character for Silco to demand something like that; it acts as both a justification and a shield, preventing him to expose himself too much at the beginning, while ensuring that he and Vander remain close.

I think it was already clear in S1 that they both secretly craved to be close again, especially Silco, given how hard he still tried to convince Vander to work with him in S1ep3. (Which is kind of insane of him, if you think about it, but I guess working closely with the man who tried to murder you — and almost succeeded — kinda fits into his whole “almost dying turned me into an Übermensch” philosophy?) Now, with Vander’s letter in S2, we know for a fact the feeling was mutual. Which is, again, horribly tragic for them both, because they’re both so set in their respective ways that actual reconciliation is made impossible.

And they were miners (oh my God they were miners)

Since we’re already kind of on the topic of whether or not Zaundads is real (or just the fruit of our collective hallucination), let’s give to Caesar wha belongs to Caesar: I don’t think the writers meant for them to turn out that way. Their dialogue doesn’t particularly strike me as hinting to anything beyond a very close friendship.

… The animators, however? Those French fucks (affectionate) knew what they were doing. The imagery of the jackets stored one inside the other cannot be a coincidence. There’s really no other cinematic parallel I can think of that doesn’t ultimately lead back to Brokeback Mountain. They were insane for that, and I’m deeply thankful to their perverted French minds (extremely affectionate) that they had the balls to just… put it there. No further comment. Just a glaring nod to the gayest movie ever.

(Also, Brokeback Mountain’s most iconic quote — “I wish I knew how to quit you” — perfectly applies to Vander and Silco. They just can’t seem to let each other go. Silco is still harping on about Vander years after he died. Vander can’t even bear to mention Silco in S1, and the moment they meet again the first thing he blurts out is “I’m sorry”, right after Silco murdered his friend — RIP king Benzo, you didn’t deserve it — in front of him. They match each other’s freak so well, I tell you.)

And then Silco’s scene in the Best Timeline. Just… the touching. The tenderness. The affection. Benzo going “ack!” at them while they gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes. It’s just… chef’s kiss. No further comment. Is it, perhaps, self indulgent? Yes. Is Silco’s line about forgiveness cheesy and a bit out of left field? Yes. Do I wish Ekko had more time to ask him what he meant by that, and get in on their backstory (since it would have been deeply meaningful for him too, given how much he idolizes Vander)? Yes.

(Someone please write me fanfiction of this scene. I beg you. I would do it myself but I lack the talent.)

Would I also watch 10 seasons of them being gay married and doing the most irrelevant domestic nonsense? Shamelessly. My poor blorbos deserve it.

Most of the shelves in his apartment are empty—he didn't have much memorabilia, photo frames or items that are personal/scream "Reigen" because his place is less a home and more a place for him to sleep and shower and eat. He does have generic self-help and anatomy (for massages) and exorcism guide books, but not much else. However through the years he starts keeping potted plants and has a mini vegetable garden in his balcony (mostly cherry tomatoes, but others too, like green onions and the like) and flowers in vases on his tables and little cacti and succulents and houseplants around.

At some point he also keeps photos in frames. There's one from an outtake from the s&s company's employees lineup photo he thinks is "necessary for their professional image" and insisted on taking (the resulting photo was framed in the office and in the website; in the photo he looked like a smug cat, Mob and Serizawa looked like stiff wooden panels, and Tome, horrified, looked eerily similar to her mother, while Dimple despite being there did not appear in the photograph), and it was a picture of Mob mid-way through blinking with his hand up in the beginning of forming the peace sign and Reigen arguing at the air while Tome argues at Reigen. Also in it Serizawa looked exasperated and confused.

Despite not actually wanting psychic powers, Reigen really, really wants to see their auras. The few glimpses he gets from when the espers use enough power to gain some semblance of visibility to the naked eye leaves him mesmerised.

He also isn't really afraid of them. Sometimes he feels Mob's or Serizawa's aura wrapping around him, like a protective touch on his shoulder or the small of his back when a client gets especially rude or rowdy, or during an especially dangerous exorcism. It freaked him out at first but he gets used to the warm, buzzing static over time.

His nose scrunches up when he's trying to concentrate.

He only learnt the existence of the undo button when he took a photoshop class one time.

He takes the kids and Serizawa to outings sometimes but with a strict (however fairly (and unusually) generous) budget. This leads to beach episodes and zoo/amusement park visits and hikes to watch meteor showers Tome talks about a lot during the weeks prior.

He's practically memorised the kids' favourite snacks and keeps them in stock in the office's snack cabinet. They are sweeped out clean without fail every single week.

He turns on classical music/instrumentals in the background when he's trying to focus. He always needs some sort of white noise.

One time Tome gave him handmade chocolate. They turned out to be chocolate-covered bugs from her friend. He hasn't and will never recover from the trauma.

When Mob first arrived he tried to quit smoking (replaces it with chewing gum, lollipops etc) but immediately caves 2 weeks in. The longest he's lasted without a cigarette is a couple months. He indulges in the occasional cigarette once every few weeks but keeps a limit of 4 sticks/week and not going beyond that. He sometimes fails to keep his word.

There's always the smell of tobacco clinging on him and his suit. He can't get rid of it.

His emergency contact includes his mom and Mob before he switched it to his mom and Serizawa because, well. Mob's a kid. His mom doesn't use the number he has saved anymore but he doesn't bother asking for her new one.

Food/Drinks Headcanons

He likes citrus.

He likes mushrooms, and moreso when in dishes like soup.

He isn't exactly a coffee person, but when he consumes caffeine it hits him almost immediately. You can practically see it set in in his eyes. He gets jittery and restless. (More so than usual lmao.)

He isn't a tea person either, nor does he have a preference in tea, though they keep different kinds of tea in the office and most of them are not-so-cheap-but-affordable hojicha, which are the clients' popular preference, so he drinks those.

When he makes tea he often leaves the kettle on for too long. His special move is pouring cold water from the sink over the cup(s) to compensate for his mistake.

He doesn't cook often for himself, but he has enough cooking skills to be confident enough to make a good meal when he tries/should he need to impress somebody, but not enough to go without a proper recipe. The problem is that he references them without actually following them. He's too impatient and stirs things when he should let them be, he refuses to measure practically anything, he forgets things and leaves after turning the stove dial on the highest setting and burns the food and tries to do multiple tasks at once without following a set order, he uses too many pans and pots, and he makes a mess. He's a menace in the kitchen but he can be trusted enough not to burn it down.

Follow-up on that last one: he thinks cooking can be a hobby of his if he dedicates more time on it, but it's the kind of activity that's easier (and more enjoyable) with company. He lacks that.

Physical/Appearance Headcanon

I stand by the hc that Reigen bleaches his hair. Mostly because I think he greys quickly. His natural hair is dark brown almost black, and the strands are stiff from constant bleaching.

He's got scars all over him from exorcisms and fist fights and what have you, but most of them are little nicks and cuts that have faded over. The notable ones are his top surgery scars (and this is an insignificant but harmless detail but the nerves on one of his pecs healed weirdly), the scar over his back from when Sakurai's sword sliced him back in the 7th division arc, and the scar mostly hidden under his bangs from the rubble that hit his head back in Mob's psychic outburst.

He has a little pudge around his stomach. There are stomach rolls there when he bends or slouches.

He tries to keep himself fit by working out, but he has horrible stamina. Around confession arc he starts having more defined muscle along his arms, though they've always been there from massages but hidden beneath his sleeves.

He takes good care of his hands and are very mindful about them. He thinks they're one of the first things a client would notice about him (but that's mostly because he moves his hands around a lot). Aside from the massage oils he uses during "physical exorcisms" he also uses lotion to keep them soft. He trims his nails short regularly and makes sure they're clean. Despite all that they are sweaty almost 90% of the time.

He. Has. Prominent. Eyebags. This man is an insomniac and a workaholic. He uses cheap foundation sometimes to cover them up but they get cakey and cracky during the day and he sweats buckets so they're mostly futile. He keeps using them anyway.

His lips have a darker shade from years of smoking but he tries to keep them from getting dry by using lip balm.

He has freckles all over his skin and spanning along his shoulders, and they practically bloom on his skin during the summer.

He has little crinkles between his brows and the edges of his eyes, lines under them. Some are smile lines, some are frown lines.

He has crooked teeth. He keeps good hygiene of them, though.

Family & Childhood Headcanons

He used to sit on his hands to stop them from moving because he's been told multiple times that they gesture a lot when he talks.

He had a childhood dog.

His mother used to make lemon cakes for his birthday.

His grandparents used to garden. He used to help.

The first time he smoked a cigarette was age eleven, when his father offered it to him one time to "have a taste of what it's like to be a man". Age sixteen, he started sneaking out to smoke. By the time he grew up the habit stuck and he mostly smokes as an excuse to take breaks between customer service during his watercooler job. (This was picked up from my short little fic drawn to the flame which is somewhat of a character study centered around Reigen's smoking addiction :D)

His sister is a lawyer and makes wild gesticulations with her hands when defending a client in court. (Ik it was probably mentioned somewhere that she works for a bank BUT when have I cared. Also the vision of wild wrist rotations being a thing that runs in the Reigen family is too good to not practically be canon already.)

His grades weren't all great but he tries. He just can't seem to pay attention in class or sit still for too long. He sucked (still does) at math.

In school he was pretty popular because he's loud and charismatic and lays the charm thick on first impressions, but popularity comes with it some kids that weren't as fond of him as others are.

He calls his sister sometimes, or at least picks up when she does. He wishes he got to spend more time with her before they moved out.

I imagine young Reigen as skinny with gangly limbs and too-big hands and there's always a band aid on him somewhere for some reason.

Anyway that's all I've got for now. I might come up w more but. *shrugs* who knows.

Now that I think about it, maybe I should make a post for headcanons of Reigen's sister... hm.

I'm not gay but is it weird that I want to kiss Rollo on his (probably very dry) lips? Help

I mean....

Look at him look at this character design, the silouhette, his aura, his presence ??? The robes with the slits on the end ?? The 18th century cunty shoes ?? Puffy sleeves ??? Golden emborideries ?? That insanely cool staff giving him at least +10 charisma !!! (The general priest-ish look...)

And that face omg the tiny bangs + eyebag + "tired of your shit" look and almost constant frown

HOW COULD YOU NOT WANT TO KISS THIS MAN !!

I absolutely understand the feeling, bring him some chaptstick and go for it tbh

[kiyomitakada]

Hello!! Recently re-discovered Death Note after my teenager year, and I'm on the floor about so many things. god. Question that's been haunting me: What would a happy ending for Misa even look like? Is she doomed in every timeline by her own doing? Question born from by how I was making lil fluff things as Post-Angst aftercare and truly could not get her there in a way that didn't feel character breaking in one way or another, which was FASCINATING to me. I Can't Fix Her Even As The Author. help

hello!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT MISA AS WELL. IT IS MADDENING. like, light writes his own doom but at least he visibly hesitates at some points. misa stares her death down and declares with a grin that that's where she wants to go!

"is she doomed in every timeline by her own doing?" god, what a question. honestly, left to her own devices: probably. i don't know if you're making lil fluff things as complete AUs or canon divergence AUs or just like little pockets of fluff in the hellhole that is canon timeline but i'm guessing it's the canon divergence AUs? in which case yeah, i think every version of misa whose parents are dead latches onto the person who avenges them and i think every version of misa in general wants some kind of grand storybook love and unfortunately light just happens to be the perfect target to delude herself into thinking fits both categories. so if you diverge at any point after "misa's parents die and light becomes first kira" misa is kind of fucked. most of the ways i've seen people save her are by getting someone (usually L or rem) drag her out with tooth and claw because misa is never leaving herself no matter how bad it gets u_u you're right it's just. Not Her. i cannot see it!

if you're curious about how i attempted to save her i did write a remisa fic about rem haunting the yagamane residence and accidentally making misa spiral enough that the denial broke down lmao

otherwise i think you kind of have to trick her into it. she gets intensely competitive especially with other girls in the equation, you could use that against her somehow (my kiyomisa bias means my first idea for getting misa out of there was them both being determined to "win" about light so much that they keep inviting each other to dinner and only realize like 5 weeks later that they're kind of just dating now). in first arc she has a bunch of friends we only ever see in peripheral glances, like her occult friend who helps her make the tapes (who she frames for being kira, lol, lmao) and her nurse friend nori who helps with disguises; how does she meet these people? obviously she doesn't really care about their wellbeing but she must have been charming around them enough for them to be willing to do all this for her. maybe she meets up with one of them at a gay bar she doesn't realize is a gay bar until three drinks in. oh god that's an idea: Get Misa Drunk And See What She Does! in vino veritas baby! (*footnote: this is not actually true out of fiction)

i hope all of this is some use but anyway i laughed really hard when i first saw your ask because yeah, misa is SO doomed. with lil fluff pieces i often just make up a setting where she's already slightly mentally healthier and Out Of That House because otherwise i will trap myself into 10k words of worldbuilding (i know this from experience). she's everything to me i wouldn't have her without her aura of bubbly neon tragedy
