#these are like completely and totally official

[hokanovastella]

I say this every time but it's a detail that will get lost in history. This movie is the reason that so much of dnd is considered free use and in the public domain now.

When the movie came out, Hasbro (the company behind the "official" D&D company) was pulling some shit with the OGL license. They wanted every twitch stream and every indie project and every creator to give them the final say and part of the revenue made from their projects and creations. Critical Role? They wanted a slice of that. Your favorite creators who made things like the Combat Wheelchair? Any small streamer who streamed their house game with their friends? Give the money. It didn't matter if they were a company or someone who wrote one-page mini-games using 5e rules, Hasbro would want to take a chunk of percentage from whatever money you made.

So in response, we all went 'Oh alright. You want our money? Too bad. We're cancelling whatever subscriptions we have under Hasbro. DnD Beyond? Yeah, we're taking our characters off that and back to pen and paper. That movie you just made with A-class Actors and over a hundred million dollars? We'll just stay home. We will TANK your shit to the ground. You aren't the only voice in the ttrpg community.

And in response, Hasbro released a 'community survey' that asked what we thought were fair and reasonable concessions to make in order to keep using the official materials or compatible creations with the 5e game. The wording in the survey was highly manipulative, not giving you a chance to say "We don't want Any Changes To The Original License, you Greedy Overlord Cunts." So the community banded together and stood strong in our response.

Things were Not looking good for Hasbro. This was spreading far outside of Dungeons and Dragons now. Fans of Magic the Gathering were starting to rally their support, their youtube comment section was a mess, and both Dropout and Critical Role were both threatening to leave the DnD properties behind for good. Their reputation had totally tanked.

And then one morning, someone noticed that there was a document over 400 pages long listed under the Creative Commons 4.0 International License (Fans of a specific podcast will recognize this). Some unknown member of the DnD team had listed the entire 5.1 edition! Rules, spells, characters, settings and locations. All were free to use with appropriate credit given to the original owners, no revenue slice required!

It looked like a panic decision, or a last-ditch attempt at peace, or unclear instructions sent to an intern. But I'll always remember when the update came out that Hasbro shot themselves in the foot in their confusion, and how it looks when you make corporations panic.

People are saying that the new 5.2 edition will still be under Creative Commons. But I still think it's important to keep an eye on whatever companies got going on under the hood, or stay in the loop with blogs or social media accounts who help others stay updated whenever something legal happens. Fandom and fan spaces aren't completely in a bubble from reality, which is why it's important to remember how precious true creativity is. Companies can buy and restrict brand names, but they would be nowhere without the people in basements and bedrooms making truly original creations.

So yeah! That's ultimately the reason why this movie is high up on the list of my favorite movies. The effects were a blend of digital and practical, with some amazing rigs and costumes coming out of the behind-the-scenes! Along with what everyone above listed as clever rule references to the actual game and gamely, we also should remember this movie as the main point that eventually broke Hasbro.

Fuck Hasbro, support creators <3

hii! So, i just read you new aizawa fic and i Saw that you wanted aizawa x reader requests, so here is a aizawa x fem!reader one:

The reader is a doctor (you can choose if the reader hás a quirk or not) and she is really good at what she does. As a consequence, she is called by principal nezu to teach the first years how to help people without their quirks ('cause it's important). Aizawa didn't know the reader was doing this and the reader wanted to surprise aizawa. And she did. She teaches class 1-A and aizawa remains close to her. Closer then usual, and the class notices and after a lot of questions and a flirt from mineta directed to the reader, aizawa finally that the reader is his girlfriend/wife (you can also choose).

This may or may not and up with them havingsex at the end of the day, because aizawa gets turned on by the reader's competence and the way she handeled the class. And her brain 🤭

Hope you do it! Love your writing! 💗

⸝⸝ ＃┆ 𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑‘𝐒 𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒! ⎯ 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐀 𝐀𝐈𝐙𝐀𝐖𝐀

summary: When U.A. calls in sweet doctor to teach Class 1-A how to perform emergency medical care without relying on quirks, no one expects their usually stoic homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa, to react the way he does. So she turns out to be Aizawa’s secret wife, and everyone sees, even Eraserhead isn’t immune to being totally whipped.

warnings: whipped!aizawa, doctor!wife!reader, secret marriage, fluff with a side of chaos, Class 1-A being nosy, overprotective Aizawa, one-sided Mineta flirting, wife reveal, smug Nezu, subtle fanservice, teasing, soft Aizawa moments, mild language, swearing.

wc: 1.4k words.

anon: I actually loved the request, but i didn’t like how my writing turned out for it - thanks for your very well explained request — I love these !

“You didn’t tell him?” Nezu’s ears twitched with amusement, his head cocked to the side like a curious cat. Mischief gleamed in his beady eyes.

You slipped on your lab coat with the ease of someone who’d long mastered her role — calm, competent, unshakable. The smile you gave was sly, foxlike.

“Nope,” you said. “I want to see the look on his face when I walk into his classroom like I own it.”

Nezu gave a pleased little hum. “Excellent. Consider this my official endorsement of marital chaos.”

You laughed softly, shouldering your medical bag. The request to teach at U.A. had come days ago — a short-term course for the first-years on non-quirk emergency medical care. Triage without powers. Crisis management with nothing but your hands, your brain, and some gauze.

It was exactly your specialty — and of course, exactly what U.A. needed.

What Aizawa didn’t know was that you’d already said yes.

And now? You were about to walk into his classroom, completely unannounced.

Class 1-A was already seated when you arrived, a low hum of chatter echoing off the high walls. Aizawa stood at the front, wrapped in his capture weapon like a tired shadow, his usual bored expression firmly in place.

The second you opened the door, twenty pairs of eyes turned toward you.

Well—twenty-one.

You stepped in, white coat catching the breeze, heels clicking softly across the floor. Confidence radiated off you like sunlight.

“Good morning, Class 1-A.”

You didn’t look at Aizawa — not yet. But you felt him freeze. Felt the air shift.

“My name is Dr. (L/N). I’ve been brought in to lead a few sessions on emergency medicine — specifically, how to help people without relying on your quirks.” You scanned the room, letting your words settle. “Because no one cares if you can shoot lasers or explode walls if they’re bleeding out in the rubble.”

A few students blinked. Midoriya already had his notebook open.

Still not looking at him, you continued, “These next few classes might feel more like basic training than hero work, but I promise you — this knowledge will save lives.”

And then, just for a split second, you flicked your eyes to the corner of the room — where Aizawa hadn’t moved, hadn’t even breathed, as far as you could tell.

You gave him the smallest wink.

His eye twitched.

You turned back to the students. “Any questions before we begin?” You asked before starting.

The class went better than expected. Pressure bandaging, fracture stabilization, how to keep someone alive with nothing but torn fabric and willpower — they were surprisingly engaged. Focused.

But by the end of the hour, the students had picked up on something far more distracting than medical techniques.

Aizawa hadn’t left.

He always left guest lectures.

Instead, he stood against the back wall, arms folded, gaze locked on you like he was watching something precious he hadn’t realized he’d missed.

It wasn’t lost on anyone.

“Sensei’s staring,” Asui said plainly.

“Wait… yo, is he—smiling?” Kirishima whispered.

“No way.” Uraraka blinked. “Did he just nod?”

“He never nods,” Kaminari muttered.

Mina squinted. “Hold on—hold on a second. You guys. He’s totally got a crush.”

Unfortunately, that’s when Mineta piped up.

“Hey, Doc! If you’re single, I’d be happy to—”

“Mineta.” Aizawa’s voice sliced through the air like a scalpel. “Sit. Down.”

Mineta yelped and folded like a lawn chair.

But it was too late.

Now they were really invested.

“Sensei, how do you know her?”

“Wait, were you in the same agency??”

“Wait, is she your ex?!”

“Are you dating?!”

“Did you meet in the hospital like in those movies —?!”

“OH MY GOD IS THIS A DRAMA?!”

Aizawa sighed. A deep, world-weary sound, like he’d seen this coming and was still annoyed it arrived.

He stepped forward, slow and deliberate, until he was standing beside you. The class fell instantly silent.

He looked at them. Then at you. Then—without fanfare—rested a hand on the on your back and said, completely deadpan:

“She’s my wife.”

A beat of total silence.

Then — “WHAT?!”

Mina shrieked like she’d just watched a season finale.

Midoriya fumbled his notes. “Wait—I knew it! His body language shifted 0.4 seconds after she entered the room—!”

Kirishima was shouting something about manly secrets.

Jirou scoffed and turned away, but the red in her ears gave her away.

Mineta cried. Actually cried.

And you? You laughed. Hard.

You leaned gently into Aizawa’s side as the class spiraled into chaos, your hand brushing his. “Well,” you murmured, “that went better than I hoped.”

He didn’t smile — not fully — but the crinkle at the edge of his eyes gave him away.

“You’re coming back next week?” he asked, voice low.

You nodded, still laughing. “Three more classes.”

“…Good.”

And Class 1-A never got over it.

They adored you after that — not just because you were sharp and commanding and knew how to set a dislocated shoulder with a popsicle stick, but because you made their grumpy, half-zombie homeroom teacher act like a man in love.

I have this Aaron idea 👉🏻👈🏻 what about Aaron x personal assistant? Where she’s being taking as a hostage? And he is in full protective mood losing his mind, think about Emily and Reid in that cult episode where he was all worried?

Please, don't quit

---------------------------------------------------

Hotch's pov

After everything that happened with Foyet, with his prision break we were assigned an "assistant" to help, me specially, with the organization of the team. Of course I was against it but honestly, I had nothing to hide so she was just about to find out.

There was a knock on my door at first hour in the morning, I completely forgot the deal so I furrowed my eyebrows and asked

- who is it?

The door opened slowly, just her head peaking.

- hi, sir, good morning. I'm the new assistant

- oh yes - I tried to hide the fact that I forgot

- forgot? - she smiled softly, making me smile as well, which it's hard, but she was right

- I apologize - we shook hands, she sat across from my seat and we exchanged some words about the job, about what the team needed and what she was sent to do according to Strauss.

- I'll introduce you to the team now, so let's head out.

When I opened the door the team was too obvious about the fact that they were waiting for her to come out of the office.

- you think they were too obvious? - JJ whispered just for me to hear.

I just made an "obviously" face

We gathered in the meeting office.

- team, this is our new assistant, y/n y/l/n - I introduced everyone and we started.

I was only worried about her not having the stomach for the type of cases we received, and started with this kind of pictures was hard, so I focused more on watching her reaction than to the explanation of the case, I already read it at my office for this very reason.

She didn't seem to have any kind of reaction, like she was prepared to what she'll see here, that was a good thing. She didn't got in the way of us giving a profile either, she knew it was not her job, which is something I really appreciated, last time with Strauss in the team it wasn't so easy.

We got into the jet, still talking about the case, when I noticed she moved in a... Peculiar way, now, first I thought she had a thing about flying, but then I got another thought, so to rule one out I asked

- is everything okay?

- yeah, totally fine

But then I noticed she was staring too much at a certain picture

- did you notice something? Or something you wanna share?

- the body disappeared looking like this?

I nodded

- so, where are her earrings? Did that happen with the other victims as well?

- nice observation

She nodded back. It was gratifying to have not only someone who didn't inject herself in the investigation without that being her job but also knowing when to speak.

We landed and everyone went to fill their request, y/n was staying always with me.

- a year later

It's been a great year for the team, today it was the last official mission of y/n with us, then they'll do an evaluation to see if she was still needed. I honestly did need her, she's a great part of the team and after a year we were already used to have her help there. But I also don't want the team to look like it needs a little help still.

- we have a high risk, undercover mission for your team, but not all of it. The plan was settled three days ago, getting to the conclusion that to not put the whole team at risk, but also using it's more important people for this specific request, we only need the help of agents Prentiss, Dr Reid and miss y/l/n

A high risk mission? And put in danger three of my most valuable people? It was something that I had to think through, but also, I didn't really have a choice.

- how much time do I have to think about it?

- tomorrow morning, but... Hotch, you don't really have a saying in this, but your opinion and perspective is always welcome

- I'll give you my thoughts tomorrow morning

We said goodbye and I went home immediately.

Opening the door, leaving my shoes and coat there, I sighed and thought about everything, putting everything in place in my mind before fully entering the house.

- hey! I made dinner, Jack already ate and is sleeping since like an hour ago

She came smiling and kissed my cheek, I grabbed her arms, I guess my face gave me away before I could even say anything

- what's wrong?

My hand going so fast to my forehead wasn't a good indicator either.

- Strauss talked with me today

- did she find out? - her eyes went wide

- oh, no, not at all. Maybe we can have this conversation in the living room, it'll be more comfortable

- oh, of course, oh my god, sorry, come in, relax, I'll bring you some water so you prepare yourself better before you tell me

We sat there, I took a few sips of water while she waited patiently. She got her legs on top of the couch, putting them on top of mine, I softly caressed her legs up and down, and she rested her arm on the couch, while looking at me, still waiting

- she told me about a mission

- you're going?

- no, she told me there's a place of interest that needs to be investigated, so the best way is to go undercover, for that same reason they don't need the full team. Only Prentiss, Reid and... You

I put my hand on her cheek, reassuring her that if she wasn't comfortable she could back off and let the others do the job

- I see, when is this going to happen?

- I need to give an answer tomorrow morning

- so you'll let them know

- actually, no, they're doing it anyway, I'm just allowed to give my opinion or another strategy, but being honest, there's not really another strategy

- then I'll go

- wait, don't rush

- they'll make me go regardless, my love... Are you worried about me?

- of course I am - how could she make that question? I grabbed her hand and planted a kiss on it's palm.

- I'll be fine, I'm taking the brains and mouth of the team, I bet we will do great as a team, and I also understand your worry, and thanks for letting me know so soon... So, what's your opinion?

- what?

- or what are you going to tell them tomorrow morning?

- I... Actually don't know - I laughed embarrassed, I'm too tired for all this, I laid on her chest, while she caressed my hair, and we stood there for a moment before finally going to bed to get proper rest, I needed my head sharp for tomorrow morning.

- the next morning

We woke up and had breakfast with Jack. After saying our goodbyes, I left Jack at school while y/n drove directly to the BAU. When I entered, Strauss was already waiting in my office.

I got into the office and after discussing the things for a while, there was nothing I could do.

That afternoon they left in another jet.

Constantly checking my phone while she filled me in with everything that was going on.

- "we finally got to the place, so I won't be able to text as much, talk to you in a bit, love you"

- "ok, tell me everything as soon as you finish, love you too"

The day went by slow, I had a lot of papers to fill and sign, the mountain just didn't seem to go down, until I received a call.

Y/N's pov

We got into a car with a lady that gave us instructions, she was a police officer. We were supposed to be social workers... Well, them, and I was a teacher who was just as support there to give my insight about working with children, great.

Just from looking at the building I got goosebumps, I really wished Hotch was here with me right now.

We greeted the main guy at the place, he looked short, a little old but also like he was hiding something evil behind that fake big smile, but I knew I couldn't make a face that'd give my thoughts away

We entered the place, starting with the most important area, the school. The kids looked healthy, but also a little sad, like a kid that was "fine" by being too overprotected

Everything was fine until we met the leader's wife, who was a kid around 15.

- you are his wife?

She nodded, proudly carrying the title. Which was crazier to me is the fact that her mom was the teacher, and she allowed that, almost seemed proud of it too.

- how old are you?

- 15, are you judging my husband?

- not at all, it's the same questions I asked every kid, we need to fill these forms with your basic information

- cause I'm happy, he treats me well, he's the best man I've ever met, he's honest and kind and strong and intelligent

- we're not here to talk about that, I'm here to make sure every kid is fine and receiving the education you deserve.

- I won't be at school for long, I need to start thinking about my duties as a wife and mother

- you have a kid?

- not yet, but soon, he promised

I turned to look at Spencer and Emily, they gave a serious look.

Everything was going according to plan, until it wasn't.

All of the sudden some gunshots were heard right outside the school, everyone got scared, the teacher led us into a tunnel. I never carried a gun but I could see Emily and Spencer going to grabbed theirs and remembering they didn't carry one right now. Shit.

We got into a basement with the rest of the people. The gunshots were still going outside, with the cult's people shooting back.

- we need to get the kids to safety - I told Emily, but the leader heard me.

- no one is going out - he stood in front of me - who sent you?

- we were sent by social services, what does that have to do with anything? We have to get the children safe

- no one's getting out of here

- I'm not asking - I stood my ground, he took me by my hair, pulling me to another room

He punched me un the face and grabbed me by the hair again

- I'm not gonna ask again

- I don't even understand what you're implying! What decent adult wouldn't like to get the kids to safety

- they're safe here! They're more safe here than anywhere else! - he slammed me against a table and left the room

I stood up, cleaned my blood and stayed there for a while, what was a supposed to do now? Just get out? But I didn't want to worry Emily or Spencer either, I got up and walked back to the main room, he was giving a speech and organizing his people

- and you! - he pointed at us three - not even you are getting out

I just huffed

After all of these, we all reunited at the chapel. People worried about their kids but still following their leader, it was unbelievable

Emily softly squeezed my hand and I turned to look at her, she just glanced outside, I turned and noticed a black SUV outside.

- this is gonna be hell, right? - I whispered

She lightly nodded.

The FBI stablished communication with the leader, but he was hard headed, we got to sneak a few cameras in key places and some intercoms, so the FBI could stablish a strategy.

That night the leader had a special plan for me.

After everyone went to their room to sleep, I was sharing bed with Emily, but one of the girls went to the room to call me, telling me it was urgent. Emily offered to help too but the girl said the leader only asked for me. So I stood up and followed her

When I got into the last room, two pairs of hands quickly got a hold of me. The leader punched me in the stomach, making my legs lose strength, but the men quickly grabbed me, then he punched me in the face, over and over again, just making some pauses.

- are you going to talk now?

- I don't know what you're-

Another punch

- don't play dumb with me, are you're friends also in? Give me the details, I don't want lies. You know - he started to walk around the room - I'm special, and God made that clear for me, I can sense when someone is lying to me, is one of the gifts I'm most grateful for

- I'll give you information if you promise to believe me

- go on

- the social workers didn't know, they think I'm here to supervise them, but I'm actually with the FBI, please... Don't do anything to them

HOTCH'S pov

Rossi called me urgently, I stopped the conversation I was having with the other officers and followed him

I saw everything, since the moment she got the first punch to the lie she was saying right now to protect Prentiss and Reid

What was she doing?

I was so close to just bust through the doors if he didn't believe her and he planned to hurt her

But it looked like he actually believed her

She was good, I never doubted that, but it was hard seeing that happening, and even harder to try and control my reaction, although I was sure Rossi already knew

Y/N'S pov

The next morning was hard as well, people was starting to mistrust their leader, and that was making him worse and worse. There was tension in the air

Emily told me she was given a plan, and told me to just follow her, and so I did.

But in the middle of the plan I lost her, I was certain she got the kids safe, but I was stuck here, in the basement with... The leader.

The minute I saw him caught me I stopped, but I had no place to run, and he knew this place better than I.

- going somewhere?

- you know I am, what does it matter to you?

- you just think I'm gonna let you go that easy?

- is God telling you not to? Or your pride? I believe is the same thing to you

He huffed, that's when I noticed the knife, I tried to hide my scared face

- my God keeps telling me many things, and I just want to obey

He lifted the knife, running directly to me, my first instinct was to duck down, practically sitting on the floor, he hit the wall behind me and I went between his legs, jumping when I bumped something behind me

It was Hotch

- drop the weapon, now!

I ran behind him.

- I won't repeat myself

- neither am I

He ran towards Hotch with the knife, making him pull the trigger, twice, I covered my ears and turned to look away

He dropped dead and Hotch quickly turned to me

- are you okay?

- I- I will be...

I was shaking, and I couldn't control it

- everything will be fine - he hugged me, I couldn't stop some tears to scape

- oh, god - he said cupping my face

- is it that bad? - I laughed between sniffs

- no, not at all, but it pains me to see you like that, to not be there for you when you needed it

He kissed my most wounded cheek, it hurted a little but it also made me feel like I was already safe, like it was all over

I stood up but my legs gave out for a bit, Hotch didn't wait for me to try and stand up, he immediately carried me outside, putting me directly into an ambulance

- thanks - I whispered

- after all of this all I can say is... Please, don't quit

I laughed and kisses his cheek

- maybe it's time

He knew what I meant

- a few days later -

I spent my recovery days with Hotch attending me the best he could, he cooked for me, fed me, helped me with my showers and we even watched movies while he stroked my hair or vice versa.

Even jack came to visit me a couple of times, he was already accepting me and I liked that

My job at the BAU was over but it was to begin something new, something good.

The end

[elamarth-calmagol]

I guess everyone knows I'm into Murderbot now. I decided that if other people could flood my feed dash with random shows, I could, too. I came late to this party. I had Murderbot on my list, but I didn't try to get it until after the show came out, and by then, everything was checked out with a line except the audio book. I can't remember ever listening to an audiobook before, but I had a long drive down to my friends who are both Murderbot and audiobook fans, so I figured All Systems Red would keep me awake for most of the drive, and by then I'd be ready for music or something. I ended up downloading the next book at a rest stop. Then, having listened to two books in one day, I watched the first episode with my friends, which is officially the fastest I've ever jumped into a fandom. I listened to the next two on the way back, and then watched the rest of the show at home. I was going to chill out after that, but I literally found myself unable to chill because the air conditioning broke. So I lay in my bed listening to Fugitive Telemetry and not moving, because what else do you do when you have no AC in Florida in the summer? And yet, I still can't read fanfic because it's all about Network Effect.

Anyway, I decided to share my character opinions comparing the books and show.

The ones I like

Murderbot: I've decided to save my opinion on why it's not so bad for SecUnit to be played by a white man for another post, since it turned into too much of an essay. My mental image of it was poisoned because I saw pictures of the Alexander Skarsgard as SecUnit and also listened to a recording where it was played by a man, so I never thought of it as androgynous. (All the books but Artificial Condition were the full cast version. I'm not sure why, given that my friend got the originals from the same library. Apparently, the full cast version left out some lines?? Which is completely unacceptable! But both versions have a male narrator.) And I think Skarsgard was fantastic. I love his subtle expressions, especially the horror at being asked to socialize. If I take the book literally, SecUnit's face should be highly emotional, but I always saw it as totally blank unless I was told otherwise, which is basically Skarsgard's face. I was disappointed that the wide-eyed horrorified face only happened early in the season, so hopefully, they find somewhere to fit it in next season.

Gurathin: I imagined Gurathin as shorter and heavier and maybe Eastern European? But even if my mental image was more solid, I never would have come up with his show actor because he's so unusual and distinctive. Which is a good thing. I do find the perpetual bags under his eyes kind of distracting, though. I think the show mostly did a good job with Gurathin, though I think it must be spoiling something from a later book with his backstory. I don't like that he was already suspicious of SecUnit from episode one because it made the reveal about the governor module less effective. (Also, why did everyone let him get away with saying SecUnit should be executed for malfunctioning?) But anyway, what I really dislike is the focus on his relationship with SecUnit at the expense of Mensah. You can see this in the fandom's reaction of immediately shipping them: their interactions were the strongest in the show. If they could have had both characters be equally important, I would have been happy.

Mensah: I love show Mensah. She immediately wiped out my previous idea of her in my mind (who looked more like Bahardwaj, I think). When I finished Exit Strategy after watching the show, I couldn't handle the high and youthful voice of the voice actor, because That's Not Mensah. I liked the subplot about her panic attacks as well, though I didn't really like the one on the hill because she was being stupid, and I prefer the book version of that scene anyway. I am really disappointed by the lack of relationship between her and SecUnit through the first nine episodes. I guess the writers thought you need conflict-ridden relationships to make an interesting show, and its feelings about Mensah are too positive to be interesting. I am so relieved that she was the last human they showed in episode 10, though.

Pin Lee: I had trouble tracking all the characters in the book, probably due to the audio format, so I didn't really pick up on who Pin Lee was until the end. I saw her as a skinny, neatly dressed office worker type, so I was thrown for a loop when I saw them in the show. They come across as way too rude and aggressive for lawyering, though later books imply that everyone is scared of her, so I guess it's not completely out of left field. I was hoping for their true lawyer form to be revealed in episode 10. Really, that should have been their moment for heroics, but Gurathin took center stage yet again. Sigh.

It took me ages to realize that they were nonbinary in the show, but while I'm not sure if it was planned or they just chose a nonbinary actor and decided to run with it, I thought that was a really good idea. In the first four books, we only get one nonbinary character, and te is apparently an established gender from ter homeworld. I think there's also someone going by they/them in Fugitive Telemetry, but I'm not sure. So while there is a sense that gender has evolved, we don't see much in the way of flexibility in gender identity. The only options seem to be male human, female human, and bot, plus any cultural genders your planet uses. Pin Lee being nonbinary shows that people can define themselves, and it's not considered weird or confusing. That also means that SecUnit (once it's free) could declare itself to have a gender if it wanted to, and if it's still Bot Standard Agender, that's its own choice.

The ones I don't like

Ratthi: I mostly noticed Ratthi in All Systems Red because I kept trying to figure out how his name was spelled. (Rati? Radi? Roti would be funny.) I literally learned the answer to my question from the show subtitles. He shows up more in later books, and yeah, I see why SecUnit considers him to be a friend. I did NOT like him in the show. He's such a himbo, it's embarrassing. For most of the show, I don't even see how he's useful to the team or why Dr. Arada even likes him. Thank god he finally has a good part in episode 10.

Bahardwaj: Bahardwaj was the first person whose name I knew because she was critical to the first scene. (I wish the show had also started there, in the middle of action.) I imagined her as basically a female version of show!Ratthi: a lot younger, thinner, and more South Asian. But aside from appearance, she feels frenetic and just wrong in her acting. I liked seeing her doing surgery, that was cool. But most of the time, when she was on screen, I wished she wasn't.

The ones I have no opinion on:

Arada: I don't know whether I even knew Dr. Arada existed. I know that when I counted up the characters, I came up one short on the women's side, so someone disappeared in my mind. So obviously, I had no opinion on how she should be acted, and I have no objection to her.

Overse: Again, one of the women vanished from my mind, and it could have been Overse. Given that I couldn't keep track of all eight people, I think it's okay to drop a couple of characters, even if I disapprove in principle.

The other one:

Volescu: It feels kind of wrong to switch out the person SecUnit originally drops its helmet for, but I realize that they were trying to make the show simpler, and Arada is important later whereas I guess Volescu isn't.

LeeBeeBee: I have never been so happy to see someone's head explode. I still don't think she was necessary, but there were some interesting moments from her, so (as SecUnit says) whatever.

Giant obey me doodle page!!

at first it was mostly just to explore my MC (Raymond)'s design and i was like "well i want to figure out how tall she is compared to mammon" so i drew mammon but then I remembered i headcanon asmo the same height so i drew asmo and... it went down hill fast and suddenly i have 7 of these fuckers in my face.

As i finished up the sketches of the boys i realized i wanted to add more of my personal headcanons of them- like usually, outside of the exchange programs, demons would exist with their demonic features out n about (horns, tail, wings and freakishly proportioned limbs) like we see the normal RAD students do in the manga

but since the second human exchange student would be staying with them- Lucifer strictly asked for the brothers to take more effort into "looking human" to seem more welcoming and ensure the program runs smoothly but their appearances differ anyway- like how belphie puts zero effort into seeming more human with his gross long fingers and tail n horns out to still nonchalantly stick it to the man (although perhaps it would change depending on his relationship with MC- painfully aware he was in his demon form when he killed them), Asmo keeping his horns because you 'shouldn't let hide beauty !!' while Lucifer and Satan generally just look like tall humans- but its not like Satan actually respects Lucifer's wishes or anything, I think its just Satan's default normally since he wants to come across as calm and collected.

any other changes to their being are just because some of their outfits are fucking ugly. dont @ me. i'll probably actually do drawings of what id want them to look like but have half assed headcanons for now

the rest of the doodles are just little cute little interactions between raymond and the boys
