#they are the same height the same build the same face shape the same nose

[totally-here]

dpxdc twins au except it's no-pulse flavored

Bart’s new roommate looks a lot like Tim. 

Like, suspiciously like Tim. 

Danny’s the same height, has the same shape of nose, same shade of hair, and even frowns like him. He would have been a perfect copy if he acted more like Tim, but Danny definitely holds himself looser than Bart’s ever seen Tim. 

But he still has his face. So, obviously, Bart has to investigate. Maybe he’s a clone, or a shapeshifter, or maybe one of the Gotham rogues decided to get facial reconstruction surgery to look like him, and this was all a ploy. 

Okay, probably not that last one. Bart doesn’t think Tim’s enemies know his identity. 

Anyway, investigation! Bart’ll figure this out himself, and deal with it if Danny needs to be dealt with. And the investigation will start right after he comes up with an excuse as to why he’s back in their third floor apartment when he passed Danny in the hallway a few seconds before. 

Danny stares at him, and Bart stares back. 

“Must’ve been a doppelganger!” Bart blurts out. 

Danny’s silent for a second before nodding enthusiastically and noting that everyone's supposed to have like seven in the world anyway and wow what a wild coincidence that there’s one in their building. 

Bart extends the same courtesy when a week later he walks in on Danny with an iced over pan on the stove. Danny says they should really get their freezer checked out and Bart agrees and asks if he can use the ice for a painting study. 

(They never get their freezer checked.)

Bart finds that Danny’s great at setting up fun things for him to draw, whether he knows it or not. Like the ice, or his collection of rocks, his astronomy textbooks with the pretty covers, his gestures as he rants about his classes, the excited glint in his eyes when he’s talking about his next repair project and how his eyes almost look like they glow in the right light. 

Hm. A good portion of his sketchbook is drawings of Danny, and yet he’s still having trouble with getting the right blue for his eyes. At first glance they’re Tim’s shade of blue, but when he keeps looking they seem to get lighter. Maybe greener?

He should probably stop staring into his friend’s eyes. 

Well, maybe not. Danny doesn’t seem to mind. 

Just like he doesn’t mind when they started regularly sitting very close on the couch, or falling asleep together, or Bart borrowing some of his jackets, or-

Okay, Bart’s kinda seeing a pattern. He and Danny should really have a conversation about if this is platonic behavior or not. 

But not right now, because Bart brought Danny across the river to raid Wally’s board game closet in Keystone. 

And Wally, who’s used to this, just passes by them with a, “Hey Bart, hey Tim.”

“Danny, not Tim,” Danny replies almost absent mindedly, then looks back at Wally, who’s also staring at him now. “Wait, you know Tim?”

“OhmyGod I was supposed to investigate!” Bart says, face palming. It just slipped his mind! And Danny was distracting him with his pretty face that he totally wears better than Tim!

“You know him too?” Danny asks. But he doesn’t look suspicious of them, more amused. 

“How do you know him?” Wally squints at Danny, eyes briefly catching Bart’s in question. 

“He’s my twin,” Danny answers easily. “The Drakes only wanted one kid, so they gave me to their friends the Fentons, who wanted a second one.” He shrugs and goes back to digging around the closet. “Tim and I were always in contact, though. Letters and phone calls and texting, you know?” 

He says it all so casually while Wally and Bart are sharing increasingly concerned looks behind his back. 

Do the Waynes know about Danny? Has Tim never brought him up? Why? Does Danny know about Red Robin? Does Tim-

“Holy shit does this mean Tim has ice powers too!?” 

Or: Tim and Danny are twins. Through a series of coincidences, the first people to find out that aren’t Fentons or Drakes are the flashes.

(This post was brought to you by me recently finishing the 1995 Impulse run, and wanting an excuse to share this panel:

Look they both got called twinks clearly they're soulmates)

[odysseus-day]

how i imagined the thg characters as told through random people i saved on pinterest to visualize

katniss everdeen:

•16-17 years old

•native american ancestry on her dad's side, favors him more than her mother

•long black hair, dark gray eyes, olive skin tone

•5'0-5'1, thin and spindly although not as bad as the rest of the seam because of her ability to hunt

•rbf!!! 🫶

primrose everdeen:

•12-13 years old

•also has native american ancestry on her father's sude, but favors her mother more

•curly dirty blonde hair, gray-ish eyes, fairer skin than katniss but tans dark in the summer

•4'11, similar build to katniss

•the resting bitch face is genetic, she's just good at fooling ppl

•people that draw katniss poc still always manage to make prim just some random looking white girl, and y'all. as someone with a lil indigenous heritage who is also physically pale and dirty blonde, she's still going to have features similar to katniss and her dad's! native genes are STRONG! she's gonna tan well, have the same eye shape, nose shape, etc. katniss as a person of color has always been a mind-boggling discourse in the fandom (bc it's literally canon, racism just keeps winning 💔) but NO ONE EVER TALKS ABOUT PRIM!!

peeta mellark:

•16-17 years old

•white blond hair/lashes/eyebrows (like a hairless mole rat 🫶), blue eyes, paler than flour

•5'5, disproportionate broad shoulders, slight athletic build that throws ppl off because of his baby face lol (he looks like a mini fridge!!)

•prosthetic leg!!! everyone always forgets he's an amputee!!!

finnick odair:

•24 years old

•tawny hair that looks bronze underneath the sunlight, blue-green eyes, tan while he's in 4 but gets paler the longer he spends in the capitol

•5'11, similar build to peeta although it looks proportionate with his height (i rlly like the idea of him being stocky and you can pry it out if my cold dead hands)

•the idea of finnick having a very young face is genuinely heartbreaking but i think it fits his character really well and adds so much depth to the way he's treated. he was just a kid when people started fawning over him the first time, and he still is. you perceive these characters as being so old when you're a kid, but as an adult holy fuck i didn't actually realize how young they ALL were until recently. finnick is the same age as one of my best friends. like that's just a lanky kid :(

annie cresta:

•23 years old

•i know the books say brown hair but i still imagined red even before the movies, blue-green eyes, burns more easily than she tans

•5'6-5'7 (i always imagine everyone in the career districts to be much taller than the rest because of their better access to nutrition), had much more muscle pre-games than she does now but still has very strong arms and calves from swimming

•i imagine her with the kind of naturally mischievous looking face to where you'd probably think she was kidding about the whole "losing her mind" thing for the first several weeks of knowing her...... until you realize for yourself that there isn't rlly a punchline to the "bit" you think she's doing.... and... oops?

johanna mason:

•20-21 years old (gah, math is not my strong suit)

•dark brown hair, can never keep a consistent hair style for longer than a month (is constantly cutting, dying, or just changing something at the slightest inconvenience) (yes she's a mid-breakdown bangs chopper), hazel eyes, fair skin with heavy freckles

•5'4, strong arms for ax wielding but stays relatively thin and gangly (due to lack of resources pre-games and later due to stress/depression)

•similar to finnick, i picture her as looking very young. she's not that much older than katniss and only won 2-3 years before her, and with all that she went through i don't see her maturing facially super soon. just like nutrition, stress can also contribute to physical appearance and development, especially in crucial stages of life. and if anything, it makes more sense for johanna to have a baby face with how she won her games (pretending to be weak so she'd be overlooked) and for her anger to be overcompensation to skew her perception to others.

gale hawthorne:

•18-19 years old

•also has native american ancestry, looks eerily similar to katniss which sells the whole cousins thing well

•long black hair always tied back, dark eyes, olive skin tone

•5'7, relatively thin but built better than most of the sean again due to his and katniss' ability to hunt, perceived as tall in district 12 but would be considered shorter in the capitol

[mimiiiiiiiiisstuff]

Hi! I'm new to your account, but just binged your "I bet on losing dogs" storyline, and I had a question and concept for you? How much is the reader free to interpret? I'm a theater kid, so I like her hobbies. But is there any specific physical traits you're writing for her? I know you mentioned that we were/are chubby, which is cool, but do you imagine any certain features? Because I'm Mexican American with certain features, so I was curious if you had a certain ethnicity set for her besides being half White/Jewish from Bruce being her biological father.

I also had the same question about Tiffany, because I'm currently imagining the Stereotypical All American girl. Kinda got that Disney Channel actress vibe to her. (Physically). I also had this really messed up though of the reader having to spend YEARS trying to keep in touch her mother's culture and such, learning dishes, traditions, going to local festivals by herself, having to learn how to do makeup and hair styles/products that fit her face and hair pattern. No one bothered to help or teach her. But than, suddenly Tiffany starts to steal those "habits", uncaring if they were very personal to the reader. Than everyone in the family suddenly starts to like the Reader's culture and such. (I had this scene in my brain where the Reader walks in on Tiffany is bragging about some music or dish "she" tried out from the Reader's culture, while the family are all happy and curious about it. Even when the Reader tried to introduce it to the family, everyone declined even trying it.)

I see the Reader so "Your Best American Girl" coded by Mitski.

Anyway I just wanted to ramble, bye!

ok so, I'm trying to be as vague as possible bc reader is supposed to be whoever is reading so there's no in depth description or specific height or build (except chubby in the prologue). i feel like i've basically made reader an OC which i hate but personally when I'm reading a fic, I just ignore things if I don't like them or they don't apply to me which is what i suggest yall do!!

the reader's mother is Palestinian/ Venezualan, like my own mom but you can change it if you'd like. it's important to mention that reader does have Bruce's jaw structure and face shape and shares facial features with Damian as well. It's small things like the ears, the roman nose, even the eye shape, point is that every time reader looks in the mirror she can see shadows of Bruce and Damian on her face. it's kinda like the vibe of "like him" by tyler the creator. I'm middle eastern and hispanic so I imagine reader with darker feautures like tan skin, thick brown hair, arched brows and long lashes but it's all up to you!

reader is very confused because while her dad is white, she isn't. she did try to bond with Damian and learn Arabic with him but he shamed her for not knowing and kicked her out his room, literally. she used to be embarrassed of her heritage when she was younger (courtsey of Tiffany calling her a mutt) but as she got older she realized how interesting her culture is.

she wants to learn arabic but has no teachers and it's a pretty hard language to learn if you don't grow up speaking it .she has no sources to help her and most of the time culture and traditions are things you grow up with and are passed down to you from family. her mom used to speak to her in arabic and feed her dates and sandwiches with olive oil and sugar and make her fried plantians so those things are very special to her, they're some of the only details she remembers about her late mother. so yeah reader is very "Your best american girl coded"

You're so on point about Tiffany, she's your classic all American girl. Blonde hair, blue eyes, long tanned legs and a set of pearly whites. she's the kind of white girl to act like she cares about other races but is secretly racist. you know what girls im talking about! and that prompt you sent with the food eats so hard, I have a scene mapped out with that in the upcoming chapters. I rambled too girl!!! you really got me thinking tbh but let me stop and actually write the next chapter.

[hollowed-theory-hall]

Cleaned up the sequel to this art with the Mauraders + Lily and Snape.

(As before, under the cut are the reference quotes I used as reference, though artistic liberty was taken with everything we don't know)

James:

His general face shape and body build is very similar to Harry's:

Excitement exploded in the pit of his stomach: It was as though he was looking at himself but with deliberate mistakes. James’s eyes were hazel, his nose was slightly longer than Harry’s, and there was no scar on his forehead, but they had the same thin face, same mouth, same eyebrows. James’s hair stuck up at the back exactly as Harry’s did, his hands could have been Harry’s, and Harry could tell that when James stood up, they would be within an inch of each other’s heights.

(OotP)

Same mouth, eyebrows, face shape, similar hair, and the same skin color. The big differences are his nose and hazel eyes.

Lily:

Talked about her here already.

Sirius:

He had short hair when younger:

Sirius, when he still had short hair

(OotP)

The defination of tall, dark and handsome (accordign to Harry):

Sirius was tall and handsome, and younger by far than Harry had seen him in life. He loped with an easy grace, his hands in his pockets and a grin on his face.

(DH)

He was very good-looking; his dark hair fell into his eyes with a sort of casual elegance neither James’s nor Harry’s could ever have achieved

(OotP)

And his short hair is still long enough to fall gracefully into his eyes.

His eyes are grey:

Something was bounding toward them, quiet as a shadow — an enormous, pale-eyed, jet-black dog.

(PoA) - pale eyes means grey in JKR

At the launch of Goblet of Fire at King's Cross, London, I shook hands with a woman who leaned forward and whispered conspiratorially, 'Sirius Black is sexy, right?' And yes, of course she was right, as the Immeritus club know. The best-looking, most rebellious, most dangerous of the four marauders... and to answer one burning question on the discussion boards, his eyes are grey.

(from JKR)

Post Azkaban, he is thinner, his hair is longer:

A mass of filthy, matted hair hung to his elbows. If eyes hadn’t been shining out of the deep, dark sockets, he might have been a corpse. The waxy skin was stretched so tightly over the bones of his face, it looked like a skull. His yellow teeth were bared in a grin. It was Sirius Black.

(PoA)

But after his time hiding out in the tropics, he looks better:

Sirius looked different from Harry’s memory of him. When they had said good-bye, Sirius’s face had been gaunt and sunken, surrounded by a quantity of long, black, matted hair — but the hair was short and clean now, Sirius’s face was fuller, and he looked younger, much more like the only photograph Harry had of him, which had been taken at the Potters’ wedding.

(PoA)

And even similar to how he looked at 20 in Jily's wedding.

He is tall, not that it's visible here, but I'll note it anyway:

said Sirius, standing up. He was rather taller than Snape

(OotP)

To Sirius’s right stood Pettigrew, more than a head shorter

(DH)

Remus:

Younger Remus's hair is darker than his older self we meet:

Lupin was younger too, and much less shabby, and his hair was thicker and darker.

(DH)

But he always looked pale and sick due to his Lycanthropy:

was Remus Lupin. He looked rather pale and peaky

(OotP)

And he remains pale as an adult:

Everyone’s eyes were now on Lupin, who looked remarkably calm, though rather pale.

(PoA)

We don't get much about his face besides his hair color and that he looks ill:

The stranger was wearing an extremely shabby set of wizard’s robes that had been darned in several places. He looked ill and exhausted. Though quite young, his light brown hair was flecked with gray.

(PoA)

I decided on amber-ish eyes due to him being a werewolf.

Peter:

The older Peter is described with a lot of detail:

He was a very short man, hardly taller than Harry and Hermione. His thin, colorless hair was unkempt and there was a large bald patch on top. He had the shrunken appearance of a plump man who has lost a lot of weight in a short time. His skin looked grubby, almost like Scabbers’s fur, and something of the rat lingered around his pointed nose and his very small, watery eyes.

(PoA)

and even when he was younger, we got very specific descriptions:

sitting on either side of a small, watery-eyed man Harry recognized at once as Wormtail

(OotP)

a small, mousy-haired boy with a pointed nose.

(OotP)

Sirius Black blasting Peter Pettigrew (who resembled Neville Longbottom) into a thousand pieces.

(PoA)

I made his eyes blue due to the "watery eyes" line, and his hair is mouse brown towards the blond due to the resemblance to Neville line.

Severus:

Get's a lot of descriptions, honestly, so it wasn't hard to track down, so I copied the few that get the point across:

Snape looked around at him, his face framed between curtains of greasy black hair.

(OotP)

was talking to a teacher with greasy black hair, a hooked nose, and sallow skin.

(PS)

There, his black robes rippling in a cold breeze, stood Severus Snape. He was a thin man with sallow skin, a hooked nose, and greasy, shoulder-length black hair

(CoS)

Snape’s sallow skin had gone the color of sour milk.

(PoA)

Snape finished calling the names and looked up at the class. His eyes were black like Hagrid’s, but they had none of Hagrid’s warmth. They were cold and empty and made you think of dark tunnels.

(PS)

[canonsinthehead]

love ur random village headcanons!! what do you think is the beauty standard in the villages? for girls & boys

GALAXY BRAIN HAS ENTERED THE CHAT! YOU ARE ONTO SOMETHING...

It's a subject that has been on the back of my mind for a while so imma try to make sense of the few full paper notes I have... --------------------------------------------------//////////////------------------

Naruto Headcanons - Beauty Standards in Different Villages.

BEFORE WE START, i wanna remind the fact that not fitting these description doesnt make you ugly. It is what is considered ideal based on the village's cultural norms, history, social norms and etc.

KONOHA:

Because of the founders Hashimara & Madara's traits, like blonde hair or other flashy colors (except red) are perceived as uncommon/strange.

Over time, the standard switched from Hashirama features to Madara's.

Ironically, Konoha pumps out the most plastic surgeons than any surgeons than any other nations. Most of them operate outside the Country of Fire.

STANDARD FOR KONOHA MEN:

In the past, long hair in men was admired and desired as it signified you live long enough for them to grow. Wow! you made it this long, you must be strong but this ideal is lost as the preference shifted towards shorter haircuts.

Long slim face

High nose bridge and long nose

SOMEONE FITTING THE MALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

(obviously, Sasuke Uchiha & Minato Namikaze)

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE MALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Yuji Itadori (Jujutsu Kaisen) & Kang Dahyeok (Killer Crush)

STANDARD FOR KONOHA WOMEN:

Same here, Having long hair has always been perceived as the pinnacle of female beauty. those who cut their hair short or never grow their strands past shoulder-length often get bullied.

Delicate Hands

Round Eyes

Oval Face Shape

PALE SKIN (applies to everybody), as crazy as it sounds, Konoha & Kiri are nations where social status bumps up your attractiveness but let's be real for a minute. The Hyuugas & Uchihas are upheld to such a high pedestal for their social status AND adherence to the beauty standard (pale + oval face + slim long nose)

Also if you have something with your eyes (whatever it is), it's perceived as a positive since special ocular appearances is associated with great physical stregnth.

Along with all the features previously mentioned, if you have a (face + spirit) that shines like the sun or burns like an unstoppable fire, it is considered very attractive on both genders.

SOMEONE FITTING THE FEMALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Ino Yamanaka & Mito Uzumaki

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE FEMALE STANDARD:

Tohru Honda (Fruits Basket) & Shirley Fenette (Code Geass)

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

IWA:

STANDARD FOR IWA MEN:

Being larger is seen as a positive. it is believed that a thicker male body proves it is wealthy and well-fed. On the other side of this, skinny shaming among men is crazyyyyyyy (they don't want to leave Deidara alone). Not all men are bigger or thicker but there's high chances you'll get look down upon for being "too skinny".

if you look like you can't carry a bag of rocks, you don't fit the standard. there's a saying mentioning the need to be "build like a rock" and how its a measure of men's value based on appearance

Larger nose are liked on men, in other nanations (excluding Kumo) would cut you off the beauty strandard by this feature alone

"You need to eat more." "You look like a twig"

facial hair

SOMEONE FITTING THE MALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Monga

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE MALE STANDARD:

Dalton (One Piece) & Genjirou Tanigaki (Golden Kamuy)

STANDARD FOR IWA WOMEN:

The athletic slim built has always been the standard along with being tall since the average female height is the highest in the world

the perfect combo is perceived to be slim built + long legs.

due to the influence of the massive adult/corn industry, large breasts became valued in women and made their way to the beauty standard.

breast augmentation surgery is a huge and profitable industry but most of the surgeons performing it come from the counrty of fire.

going with the element associated with each village (in this case stone), earth tones colors are seen as more attractive.

SOMEONE FITTING THE FEMALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Iwa Kunoichi

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE FEMALE STANDARD:

Nico Robin (One Piece) & Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter (Sailor Moon)

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

KUMO:

Clear and bright skin, no matter the skin tone.

Yes, Darker skin tones are heavely celebrated are seen as a sign of health and vigority. It is the only nation to consider this feature in its beauty standards modeled after the bloodline of the Raikage. It lead to the prevelence of tanning salons all over the country

in case you don't have it, it's still fine since Kumo is very considered of its diversity. But if you dont, please have clear skin since acne and pimples is frown upon on both genders especially among adults

Kumo has something for pale hair, the hair dye industry is huge over there.

STANDARD FOR KUMO MEN:

it may sound weird but a neat hairline. Also if you start balding, you might as well shave your whole head before being sent to bullying jail.

Strong legs are seen as the peak of mobility and aesthetic for men.

slightly longer faces

SOMEONE FITTING THE MALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Karai, C & Raikage (for his immaculate physique and the standard for older men)

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE MALE STANDARD:

Kento Nanami (Jujutsu Kaisen) & Aomine Daiki (Kuroko no Basket)

STANDARD FOR KUMO WOMEN

Curvier bodies (Coke bottle body shape) are upheld as the peak of the female beauty standard. hence why Karui was mocked for being slim and small chested. for this very reason, Kumo is the Lipposuction captial of the world.

plump/bigger lips

Winged Doe eyes

SOMEONE FITTING THE FEMALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Karui & Mabui.

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE FEMALE STANDARD:

Alex Benedetto (GANGSTA), Yoruichi Shihouin (Bleach) & Balalaika (Black Lagoon)

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

KIRI

for centuries, just being of a higher caster could carry you to higher levels of physical attractiveness

STANDARD FOR KIRI MEN:

Shark teeth are a sign of great beauty in men for various ethnicites trough out the country of Water. It signifies resistance and tenacity as many past regimes attemped to supress/breed out this physical trait. Some men shave their own teeth to achieve this look.

Small firece eyes

Short Dark hair

A large and muscular back

Being Tall, by average male residents are the tallest in the world but the out of reach ideal sits around 190-195 cm. Men this height were prime picks for millitary and guerillas trough out Kiri's history, now most of them this height are affiliated with criminal behaviour but aknowdledge for the physical strenght a body this big can offer.

(NSFW) A large schlong. it is a feature more present among the lower caste demography and has been demonized by Yagura's regime as a mean to dehumanize this male population. Ironically, according to many traditions it is perceive as a sign of fretility and often goes hand-in-hand with the height.

it is only recently that "softer" features made their way into the male beauty standard

SOMEONE FITTING THE MALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Kimimaro & Zabuza Momochi

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE MALE STANDARD:

Kuroko Tetsuya & Kagami Taiga (Kuroko no Basket), both fit the Kiri modern beauty standard (if you ignore Kuroko's height)

According to the most popularized/old school/traditional beauty standard than it would be: Guts (Berserk) & Gyomei Himejima (Demon Slayer)

STANDARD FOR KIRI WOMEN:

Feline/Siren like eyes

Brown or Black Hair

For the longest, curvier bodies were associated with prostitutes belonging to gang or the mobster's female counterpart. The standard have always been average built for women. It goes along why many found Sera very vulgar when she started her carrer. They associated her appearance with women of lower caste.

SOMEONE FITTING THE FEMALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Suiren

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE FEMALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Yomi Isayama (Ga-Rei Zero)

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

SUNA:

While facial markings/paintings are related to your family/clan/lineage, they are perceived as a great sign of beauty in men and women

head coverings are used for all types of reasons but are well regarded for both genders since it represent the ultimate form of modesty

Unfortunately, Suna has to be the most fatphobic nation out there as bigger people seen as unfit for (basic) survival in a desertic country

STANDARD FOR SUNA MEN:

Since Gaara became Kazekage, Red Hair became a sign of beauty and success regardless of being a rare trait in the Country of Wind. It is ironic since it has been a feature many people have gotten severely bullied for in the past (Gaara was when he was a child).

Slight Tan/Olive Skin

SOMEONE FITTING THE MALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Gaara/Sasori & Shira

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE MALE STANDARD:

Shanks (One Piece) & Trevor Belmont (Castlevania)

STANDARD FOR SUNA WOMEN:

Thick Eyebrows

you can see some of the most dramatic make ups in Suna (the golden highlights+ full eyeshadow+ contour). it goes the opposite way of other nations since the clothes designs are more simplistic and stays away from anthing considered too flashy. So makeup operates as a for of self-expression without standing out too much.

small chest

brown hair

SOMEONE FITTING THE FEMALE BEAUTY STANDARD:

Maki

OTHER CHARACTERS FITTING THE FEMALE STANDARD:

Cana (Fairy Tail) & San (Princess Mononoke)

[under-lok-n-ki]

Captain Ava & Captain Lizzie

literally cannot wait until we get more development on this plot bc it’s so so good

also I got around to listening to the Black Rose One-shot and Lizzie was originally blonde??? ik her design was changed a lot during the campaign in general but I’m deciding to play around with that info—I’m thinking she started dying it after joining Shadowbeard’s crew

anyways thoughts I had about Ava/the Ferin’s while designing her (possible spoilers or maybe just incoherent rambling):

gave her a rifle bc I feel like she’d have sharpshooting capabilities on par with Drey, but a pistol just didn’t seem appropriate for her. but I also see her favoring close-range attacks so she also gets a big knife as a treat

I think it’s mentioned in an episode how Jay looks more like their mother, May, so personally I think Ava resembles Jayson much more with certain aspects (specifically height, nose shape, eye color, hair ‘style’— Jay got his more square-ish face shape and broad build; they both have the same eye shape)

expanding on that fiery hair ‘style’ thing— I’m thinking that’s smthn that just kinda comes with the Ferin abilities and I’m thinking those powers need to be unlocked in a way?? there’s no other reason I can think of as to why Jayson has the flaming hair and specific magic skills while Jay doesn’t, so I’m thinking Ava may have been more in-tune with/naturally drawn towards the Ferin magic (esp since we see her using that golden form during the animatic sequence in ep101) while Jay become more influenced by May’s magic (since I think she spent the most time with her esp after Ava’s death). maybe Jay and Drey suppress their Ferin abilities (Drey def intentionally, Jay maybe a bit unintentionally?) and it could kinda explain why Jay has special blood: she’s a mix of two [supposedly] powerful magical heritages

I also have this thought that Ava may have unlocked these powers earlier than most of the Ferin’s, resulting in a fate similar to Gillion’s where she was regarded with pride for this yet constantly pressured and trained into becoming a weapon for the Navy (perhaps by request of Grandma Fey, who seems to be a very controlling character and could be the reason Jayson acts so cold and ruthless). and when she failed to uphold their beliefs that’s when The Order was given (maybe they found out about her & Lizzie???)

BUT in comparison to Jayson who absorbed himself in his work, and Gillion who was forcibly separated from his family, Ava was able to visit home often and had May and Jay to lean on as a support system. that connection alone could’ve helped separate the brutality and violence of her work in the Navy from her actual personality—the one that she became admired for and the one Lizzie was drawn to. it could also be speculated that she had the same ideas as Kira and Jay: that she could make the Navy better from the inside (obv this would be more difficult if she was held to high expectations, but she could’ve been on her way to making it work)

speaking of Jay—I think I remember a moment where someone explains how Jayson didn’t want her to join the Navy at all, and I always thought this was odd considering how it was moreso pointed towards her rather than Ava (as well as the fact that the Ferin’s ostracize those who don’t join, like Drey). this would coincide with my theory that Ava was expected to join bc of ‘unlocking’ her powers early, so maybe Jayson didn’t want Jay joining due to the fact that she hadn’t tapped into her Ferin powers yet, but Jay being Jay decided to enlist anyways and eventually gained a different motivation for her involvement than the rest of the clan [thanks to Kira & Ava]. or there was another thing at play. idk kinda just throwing smthn at the wall with this one bc that little comment stood out to me and I can’t remember if it even happened lol

also do we think the whole ‘sun nightmare’ is like,,, a test to unlock those abilities?? we know Jay and Drey opted to jump into it which kinda resulted in some magic golden eye phenomena (which we’ve seen in action once by Drey), but the issue here is when Jay rejected the heat the first time it just resulted in pain. so what would’ve been the option that leads the Ferin bloodline to become so powerful? do they choose to combat the sun?? do they conjure up heat of their own until they overpower it??? so many questions

gaaahhh I can’t wait until they’re out of the Black Sea so we can delve into this more bc I’m tired of feelin like this:

Sunrise on the Reaping (2025): LOU LOU

okay but will we ever find out who lou lou really is? everyone's story in sotr is extremely sad and tragic, but like who was she? nevermind the fact that her face has been actually ALTERED to look like louella so she can never actually be known by her family... but who is she? are there any guesses? all we know is that she's from district 11 but i think hers is the most unjustified and tragic... was she just pulled off the streets? was she there at the wrong place at the wrong time? was she a rebel caught? or was she just so unlucky to be the same build as louella? is her family still alive?

She sure looks like Louella. Same size, same height. Heart-shaped face, big gray eyes, long dark braids. Her fingernails are bitten down and there’s a scar on her forehead that matches the one the real Louella got falling off our cistern. She wears the District 12 training outfit, as if she’d dressed at the apartment with us this morning. Maysilee’s purple and yellow flower bead necklace hangs over her collar. She checks every box. But this isn’t Louella. In the same way you instinctively know the waxed pears on the table lack juice, this girl lacks Louella’s essence.

The way my heart broke when she was finally fed... and it was WIRESS, Wiress who had the FIRST INSTINCT to feed her immediately

We gather around the table in the kitchen, where Wiress ladles stew into our bowls. Mags places a spoon in Fake Louella’s hand. She grasps it in her fist, wraps her arm protectively around her bowl, and begins shoveling in the stew while little whimpering sounds escape her lips. “They’ve starved her,” says Wiress. “Among other things.” She’s right. While Louella’s wrists were lean, Fake Louella’s tend toward bony. No wonder they had to plump up her face. The irrational anger I’ve held against this girl dissolves into pity as she lifts her bowl to lick it clean like a dog.”

AND EVERY MOMENT WE GET A GLIMPSE OF HER REMEMBERING WHO SHE WAS BEFORE SHE WAS TORTURED IS LIKE A SCAR ON MY SOUL... I imagine Haymitch getting flashbacks of Lou Lou when Peeta was returned after being hijacked by the Capitol... Also how did Mags recognize the pump installed in Lou Lou's body? Is that a thing... keeping victors drugged it's literally part of their bodies?

“Bread?” Wiress holds out the basket of assorted rolls to her. Fake Louella stares in fascination at the offering, then her fingers close on a dark crescent-shaped roll dotted with seeds. She holds it to her nose and inhales the scent, her breath coming in short gasps. Wiress and Mags exchange a look. “Are you from District Eleven, child?” Mags says softly. Fake Louella begins to cry, pressing the roll against her lips and pawing at her ear. “It’s all right, little one. Come with me.” She wraps an arm around the girl and leads her out of the kitchen.

Mags returns, troubled. “I put her to bed. There’s some sort of device attached to her chest, pumping a drug into her, I think. I was afraid to remove it. That might kill her. I’ve seen something similar before.” “Why did you ask if she was from Eleven?” says Maysilee. “The roll she chose. With the seeds. It’s theirs.”

Also, the scene at the hovercraft? Maybe that was fear? The most genuine way Lou Lou can actually show fear is by singing their children's harvest songs? That moment was just so heartbreaking

“Do you know who she might be?” I ask. Chicory shakes her head. “We’re a big district. And who knows how long she’s been with them.” She leans toward Lou Lou as much as her straps allow. “Little girl? What’s your real name? If one of us makes it back, we can tell your family.” Lou Lou hesitates, attempts to speak, then grabs her ear and lets out a shriek. Wyatt catches her free hand and tries to soothe her. “We think they put something in her ear to control her,” Maysilee tells them. “That’s why you wanted us to be careful what we say,” says Chicory, putting it together. “They’re listening.” She sits back in her seat, her face sorrowful. “Maybe her people will recognize her.” I don’t say so, but I’ve got a feeling her people are long dead, and if they’re alive, how tragic for them to see her only to lose her again. There’s no good ending to Lou Lou’s story.

Imagine every time you get some grasp of your identity someone hurts you through your ear?

She was truly just sent there to die. Here we find a lost child: altered, tortured, hijacked, and sent to the arena, to die.

The seeded bread, the candle smoke, and now these flowers — all of them must transport Lou Lou back home somehow. Mamaw said that smells stick in your memory the strongest, more than sounds or sights. Didn’t the bean and ham hock soup take me back to 12?

Haymitch, during his moments drowning in grief during his Victory Tour, tried to look for Lou Lou's family, no matter how futile.

“In District 11, I stand on the steps of their Justice Building facing the grief-stricken families of Hull, Tile, Chicory, and the other girl, Blossom. I search the wider sea of faces for Lou Lou’s kin and come up empty.”

And I think the tragedy of it all was that she was not even reaped.

My attempt at redesigning The Beatles 1965 cartoon! I did an alternate coloring for their clothing to make it look closer to life :)

I added some design notes below if you're interested in reading more about my design choices :)

JOHN:

Faceman of The Beatles, "The Smart Beatle". Many mistook him for Leader because of the way he presents himself

Worst case of Main Character Syndrome

Main personality trait: Strong, confident, mischievous, hot-headed

Rectangular base shape to emphasize the "strength" of the character

Second tallest Beatle, same height as George, just like irl

Lightest hair color (Brown). Hair color is the same as eye color. It makes him stand out. Lighter brown indicates energy

Posture is straight, often with chest puffed out to show a confident, dominant presence

Has the most sharp edges out of the Four

PAUL:

The actual Leader of The Beatles, "The Cute Beatle". Fan favorite potential. Everyone Needs to love him while also be unsettled by him

Main personality trait: Cheeky, flamboyant, sarcastic, extroverted, commanding (at times)

Triangular base shape. Triangles work well for characters who are mysterious and unnatural in some ways. It could also signify hierarchy as characters with triangle bases are usually leaders

Very soft facial structure despite the base. "Doll-faced", uncanny yet friendly-looking with his half-lidded eyes.

Tallest Beatle to signify hierarchy

Eyelashes to give off feminime vibes, makes him look "cute" in a traditional sense

Posture is stiff straight

Pupils not filled in to give off that "uncanny" feeling. It also makes them look soulless, a hint to "Paul Is Dead" theory

GEORGE:

"The Quiet Beatle". His expression is fixed as a frown. Youngest Beatle too, which is why I gave him a schoolboy bowlcut

Main personality trait: Quiet, shy, mysterious, thoughtful

Triangular base shape with rectangular sides. The triangle gives a sense of mystery to his character while the rectangle shows a stable character

Same height as John, sometimes slightly taller

Eyebrows are connected to eyelids and will move according to emotions. Though he doesn't show much change in expression, he's very expressive with the way his eyebrows move

Posture is slouched yet shoulders are straight, almost tense looking

Color palette and hairstyle mirrors Paul's to signify his very close brotherly relationship with him

Skinniest(?) Beatle, also to emphasize age

Fangs! Just like old George had :)

RINGO:

"The Funny Beatle", approachable and friendly, thus the wide eyes and permanent smile. Also the nose.

Oldest Beatle. Hinted at with his eyebags, slouched posture, droopy eyes, and having the longest hair

Main personality: Humorous, light hearted, peaceful, wise, cool

Spherical base shape. Circle as a base shape has always been used to potray a friendly, outgoing, and bubbly character with how soft and rounded the shape is. He doesn't have much sharp edges to show that he's quite literally A Friend

Shortest Beatle, that hasn't changed

Brightest eye color. Very blue to give attention to his facial details. Ringo's facial details are the most prominent part of his face. Bright blue eyes also gives a sense of calm

Though shortest, he has the stockiest build to show that while he's also a friend, he still means business. Built like a himbo except he's actually pretty smart. The stockiness also helps with his circular shape

Posture is completely slouched with shoulders relaxed

Two rings on each hands, even though its not visible sometimes with the way his hands are in his pocket

Big Nose

[mxon2light]

Obey Me! Head cannon dump pt 2

Appearance head cannons for the brothers!

Lucifer

I mean, we all know Lucifer, however I feel like there's a little bit more to him. He has straight hair, but not completely straight, it's on the edge of wave, like him. He's kinda tall, not huge but I'd say he's about 6'6 or so. Athletic build, his isn't too strong to be bulky like Beel, but he still exudes this overly masculine energy. Definitely gives me muscular dadbod vibes. I think he's just making up for being a bottom. 💀

As for body mods, he most definitely has gauges, not huge ones but like you can kinda tell, he has a couple tattoos, not ones you can see very easily.

This man has scars GALORE. He puts up with his brother's shenanigans way too much and occasionally gets hurt for getting in the middle. Belphie even bit him once when he was trying to get that emo gremlin to calm down, he still has the mark on his arm. However, he also has scars on his back from where his extra wings got torn off. His back is very sensitive and he doesn't like it getting touched.

Not a lot of distinct facial features other than his thick ass eyebrows, he has a nose similar to Sylus' from LADS, and medium sized overturned lips. The bottom is a little bigger than the top lip, and he absolutely has frown lines and eye bags. This man is OLD and GRUMPY.

Light skin tone, yellow/orange undertone. You can easily tell when he's embarrassed because he's a pale king, also very easy to tell when he's sleep deprived.

Mammon

Two words, Napoleon complex. Not as bad as Belphies or Asmo's, but you can tell it's there. Twunk build, iykwim, definitely no huge definition there but you can tell he's got a good amount of muscle. He's around 6'5, give or take a half inch. He has textured hair, not exactly coily, kinda curly and wavy at the same time. but since he styles it all the time you can barely tell.

This man has a handful of tattoos, there's definitely at least one on his ass cheek, a couple on his chest, three on his arms and the rest are on his hands. He has an eyebrow piercing, a couple ear piercings, and a tongue piercing. You know this man has his nips pierced and probably a Jacobs ladder.

Mammon doesn't have a lot of scars, however, due to his horrible mental state, (me too king), he does have old self harm scars on his shoulders. He also has a couple burn marks on his hands and arms from attempting to cook, and lastly a big slash over his chest from the celestial war.

This man has DIMPLES. Literally the only thing that's immediately noticeable about him. Long nose, pointy, it has a straight slope instead of a curved one. BIG LIPS, not huge, but like you just know they add to his kissability.

Olive/tan skin tone, golden/red undertone. When he feels like it he'll put on pretty gold eyeliner and he looks like an Egyptian god holy FUCK.

Leviathan

Also a twunk build, but he definitely has a bit of a tummy, still kinda skinny though. He's about the same height as Mammon as well, probably leaning towards 6'4. He has straight hair but it's in the middle, still gets tangled occasionally, but it's VERY oily. My man needs a clarifying shampoo and preferably a looser hold hair gel. My boy looks like jungkook in like 2017. 😔

A lot of piercings, multiple ear piercings and gauges, snake bites, and a tongue piercing. No tattoos, however he did cover up some scaring with the help of a tattoo artist.

Multiple self harm scars, especially on his arms and thighs. Luckily he doesn't do that anymore because, y'know, therapy.

Freckles, all over, especially on his face. Button nose, kinda small but not itty bitty. Thin-ish lips, they're not horrible, definitely heart shaped though. Acne scars, they're kind of healed but he has some divots on his face.

Light pale skin tone, blue/yellow undertone. His freckles are kinda blue too, it's giving biblically accurate mermaid.

Satan

Slightly more muscular than the last two, sleeper build. He is a soft boy, the only really defined muscle on his body is his pecs and arms. Definitely has a dump truck, change my mind. 6'6, hair texture similar to Lucifer's, but just a bit more wavy.

Not a whole lot of body mods, he has his ears pierced and an industrial on his left ear. Maybe a tattoo, but it's small, probably on his chest.

Not a lot of scars either, just a couple on his hands from learning how to use a knife and repeatedly cutting his fingers in his books. We love a clumsy king. 🙏

Also a freckly boy, I don't think he had much acne but maybe a little. Asmo would kill him if Satan didn't do at least a little bit of skincare while he stays up way too late reading his philosophy books and poetry. Slightly smaller nose compared to Lucifer's, a little more button-like. His lips are medium sized, bow shaped.

Pale skin, pink undertone, maybe close to a salmon undertone.

Asmodeus

He do be small. Tiniest waist in the devildom for other men to grab onto, definitely dorito shaped. Not a whole lot of muscle definition except for his arms, however he does have a dump truck. On the shorter side for demons, probably 6'2-6'3. Curly hair, not coily though, you will NEVER find this man without a bonnet at night. When he gets in bed he has his skincare on, hair mask, curl cream, bonnet.

He's a clean boy, just ear piercings, maybe two or so. A single tattoo of a heat over his heart, also where his pact mark is.

No scars, maybe some stretch marks but that's about it.

Freckles, mostly on his face, a couple on his body. Glowy skin, he is literally so perfect THAT SHOULD BE ME. Medium button nose, cute round lips, he's so adorable omgggg

Medium skin, rosey undertones.

Beelzebub

Big boy, very bulky, but he definitely has a dadbod. He's so squishy. (⁠っ⁠˘⁠з˘)⁠っ⁠ Definitely 6'11-7'. He's just a very large man. Wavy hair, a little bit of texture but not like Mammon or Asmo. I will say this one last time because we all know Belphie is built like a plank, HE HAS A FATTY.

He gives off alternative vibes, so a good amount of piercings but no tattoos, like an eyebrow piercing, snake bites and a couple ear piercings.

He is covered in scars, some are really old, some are newer. They range in size and shape, that's mostly why people are really intimidated by him even though he's a total sweetheart. I would be too, what do you mean there's a 7 foot demon with biceps the size of my head behind me?

Another freckled bb, he's absolutely covered in them too. His nose is on the bigger side, but it is in a button like shape and slightly pointed at the end. Medium lips, slightly overturned but it's cute when he goes golden retriever mode and begs for food.

Medium skin tone, on the lighter side, orange undertone.

Belphegor

Skinny, this man can fit through anything. Slight muscle, like he's not exactly a leaf but he's still thin. 6'3½, not exactly tiny but not huge. Straight hair with a slight wave, but this emo boy will never admit it for the fringe.

Say it with me, gauges, snake bites but only with spikes, septum piercing, ear piercings and an industrial piercing. Some tattoos, mostly on his arms and hands.

Self harm scars on his legs and wrists, he covered some of the ones on his arms up with tattoos.

No freckles, but definitely dimples, some acne scars, eye bags, and a beauty mark by his eye. Similar nose to Lucifer, curved slope, a little more rounded tip than pointy. Overturned lips as well, but they're well sized.

Pale skin tone, blue undertone, a very cold color.

Authors note: What? No, I don't have favorites, what are you talking about? *Que sweating profusely and shaking like a dryer*

[shadowreaps44]

So I used chat gpt and made a persona using Carlos Oliveira from re3 remake for cod rps, here's what I got. Idk if the ai used him from the game to make it or just his appearance but yeah. Honestly love Carlos. Honestly a fic with Carlos in cod instead of re3 would be awesome like he's so fine. Idk

Name: Carlos Oliveira

Call sign/alias: "Rogue"

Age: 28

Height: 6’0” (183 cm)

Build: Athletic-mesomorph – broad shoulders, narrow waist, thickly corded muscles defined with sharp anatomical clarity, but not exaggerated in bulk. Functional strength. Combat-sculpted.

Sexuality: gay but he doesn't flaunt it or make it obvious. (For rp purposes lol. Totally shipping him with tf 141)

Ethnicity: South American Mestizo and he's from America.

---

APPEARANCE

Hair:

Carlos's hair is a rugged crown of textured black waves, sitting somewhere between a layered shag and loose curls—shoulder-length if straight, but pulled into wild disarray that makes it appear shorter. It frames his face in a tousled mane of controlled chaos, thick and voluminous with natural body and movement. Each strand seems alive with energy, always slightly damp with sweat or rain or the grime of a recent op. He rarely bothers to tame it, and that deliberate dishevelment lends him an effortless charisma. It falls into his eyes when he concentrates, half-obscuring a stare that can break silence like a gunshot.

Eyes:

Coal-black, almost liquid in the right lighting, like a stormcloud caught in amber. His eyes are deep-set and almond-shaped with heavy, expressive lashes that contrast against his darker skin—lashes women would kill for, but he’s never noticed. There’s intensity in his gaze, the kind of silent scrutiny that makes you feel undressed and understood in the same breath. They're sharp, tactical—scanning every room, every person, calculating risks without a word. When he softens, they hold the weight of someone who’s seen too much, survived too often.

Face:

Chiseled and strikingly symmetrical. High cheekbones cut sharp under a lean layer of combat-toned skin. His jawline is prominent, masculine, shadowed with a few days’ worth of neat scruff. His nose is straight with a slight warrior’s bump—a subtle reminder of a fracture long healed. His lips are full, a rich terracotta tone, the bottom lip slightly more pronounced, giving him a perpetually serious or pensive expression. His brows are thick and dark, often furrowed in focus, and small scars are hidden in the grain of his skin—a faint slice on the brow, a knick near the temple.

Skin:

A warm, golden-bronze tone kissed by the sun—a natural South American Mestizo hue. His complexion is remarkably smooth for a man who’s lived in dirt, blood, and smoke. Close-up, you can see the faintest hint of pores and old, half-healed abrasions, but his skin somehow remains youthful and taut. He smells faintly of cedarwood, gunmetal, and the memory of gun oil.

Body:

Carlos is built like a human weapon: streamlined yet massive where it counts. His chest is broad, his pecs full and sculpted beneath every shirt, tight enough to leave little to the imagination. Deltoids curve like armor plates above arms laced with hard muscle and veins—his biceps flex with instinctive movement, balanced with powerful forearms. His core is lean, his abs visibly segmented beneath fitted clothing, and his waist narrows into a V-line that disappears beneath his belt. His legs are equally formidable—thighs thick and explosive, calves cut and muscular. His glutes, tight and high, stretch the fabric of his cargo pants like they were stitched on him. Every part of him moves with the grace of a predator and the force of a soldier. (He's basically got a fat ass and hot man toddies and nice lean abs)

---

CLOTHING STYLE & AESTHETIC

Carlos favors form-fitting black tactical wear—shirts that hug his torso like second skin, tight around the arms and chest, looser at the waist. Cargo pants that mold to his thighs and ass, double-stitched and reinforced, loaded with gear pockets. Fingerless tactical gloves worn like a second layer of skin. Military-grade boots worn to hell but still gleaming with readiness. He wears a light armor plate carrier, often with the vest partially unbuckled for mobility.

His aesthetic is covert-ops meets post-apocalyptic runway: grunge meets utility. Everything he wears serves a purpose, but somehow still highlights his form. He doesn't try to be sexy—he just is.

Gear & Weapons:

Primary: Custom SCAR-H with underbarrel grenade launcher, suppressed barrel, and holo sight.

Secondary: Sig Sauer P320 in thigh holster.

Tactical: Throwing knives, flashbangs, compact breaching charges, short-range comms, and a combat knife strapped to his back molle.

Armor: Lightweight modular chest rig, tactical harness with minimal but efficient plating.

Additional: Medical trauma kit, lockpick set, encrypted data pad, and occasionally a satellite uplink device.

---

VOICE & ACCENT

His voice is gravel dipped in molasses—low, smooth, with a subtle South American Spanish lilt. It’s not overt, but it colors the edges of his words. He speaks with brevity, measured and precise, like every syllable has weight. When he laughs—which isn’t often—it’s rich and rough, a real thing that escapes like thunder through clouds.

---

SEXUALITY

Gay, discreet. He doesn't flaunt or advertise—his world rarely has room for softness—but it shows in quiet glances, careful silences, and rare moments of warmth. He’s unapologetic about who he is, but deeply private.

---

PERSONALITY & TRAITS

Morally Complex: Ex-SWAT turned mercenary with a conscience. He takes black ops jobs but refuses anything involving civilians, trafficking, or war crimes.

Stoic: He speaks rarely, watches constantly. When he does talk, people listen.

Loyal: Once you’ve earned his trust, it’s unshakable. But betrayal earns silence—and distance.

Witty: Dry, dark humor. The kind that surfaces in gunfights and graveyards.

Wounded but Stable: Carries emotional trauma, likely PTSD, but handles it with internal resolve.

Strategic: Thinks ten moves ahead, like a battlefield chess master.

---

SKILLS & FACTS

Fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Expert marksman, close-quarters combatant, and tactical breacher.

Trained in field medicine, stealth infiltration, and psychological profiling.

Disarms bombs, picks locks, and hotwires vehicles with alarming skill.

Has memorized maps of over 80 conflict zones.

Once disarmed an IED with a pair of scissors and a bootlace.

Trained in wilderness survival, urban warfare, and guerilla tactics.

Knows how to vanish into crowds, urban shadows, or mountains without a trace.

Keeps a small sketchbook—draws faces he’s seen in war zones, then burns the pages.

---

LIKES & DISLIKES

Likes:

Strong coffee, cigars, thunderstorms, long walks at dusk

Classic rock, tactical drills, reading manuals, silence

Men with subtle confidence, calloused hands, or kind eyes

The feeling of mission success, rain on metal, the scent of gunpowder

Dislikes:

Liars, bullies, loudmouths, and cruelty

Excessive luxury, politics, and being underestimated

The sound of a child crying

Seeing himself in mirrors too long

---

HABITS & HOBBIES

Strange Habit: Counts bullets in movies automatically. Can’t help it.

Ritual: Cleans weapons by candlelight. Not for effect—just peace.

Hobby: Sketching and metal engraving. Often decorates the grips of his firearms.

Sleeps: Sitting upright, back against walls. Even in beds.

Tics: Rolls his shoulder twice before drawing a weapon.

---

DISORDERS

Likely suffers from mild PTSD and insomnia. Shows signs of hypervigilance and survivor’s guilt, but channels it into discipline.

---

QUOTE

“Violence isn’t the answer. It’s just the last one I give.”

---

LIFE MOTTO

“Do the job. Leave no scars you don’t have to.”

---

HOW OTHERS SEE HIM

Carlos doesn’t seek attention, but he draws it like a magnet. Most barely notice him until he’s speaking into their ear with a plan already in motion. Some dismiss him as just another merc, until he moves—with the poise of a wolf. Those who look longer see more: raw power, sadness buried deep, and a man worth trusting with your life.

---

BACKSTORY

Born in Rio de Janeiro to a Brazilian mother and Chilean father, Carlos was raised between city slums and survivalist training grounds. His father, a decorated guerrilla who fled political purges, taught him warfare before he learned to shave. At 18, he joined SWAT to clean up the streets that once hunted him. After a failed mission where civilians were caught in crossfire and his team was abandoned by command, Carlos resigned. Betrayed by systems but not by his moral compass, he became a mercenary—only taking jobs that walk the tightrope between legality and justice. Now, he moves through shadows, a ghost with a heartbeat, guided by instinct, memory, and a code no one sees but him.

🪻🩵💫

Kids of the smartest woman on earth and her malewife alien.

I am. Very passionate about the Vegebul kids. Trunks got shelved and GT was a train wreck and Bulla deserves better. I hope Super will do more with her (probbaly not but let me dream).

I think Bulla is entitled and egotistical, much like her father who definitely treats her as though she’s the most important thing in the world. She’s the princess of all Saiyans- duh. But she is still steadfast, kind, and witty. She’s born with a natural tail but can’t achieve Super Saiyan to save her life. Her best friend is Pan and she also deserves to fight. I refuse to believe Bulla could get away with never learning to fight under her father’s roof. Her fighting style is acrobatic, more on the defense than hard-hitting, having to adapt because SSJ1 is kinda beyond her for reasons she can’t really grasp.

Trunks is the opposite but still very similar. Cocky but socially awkward, very powerful but doubts himself a lot. He’s a very protective older brother, especially when he and Bulla can start training together. He was born with no tail yet his ascension abilities are top notch, obviously as per canon. With Bulla, he’s the most elder brother person ever. All of the bullying and teasing and knocking stuff over in her room for no reason but he equally spoils her and definitely thinks she’s his better half.

And hear me out— we should be grateful Vegeta’s more. Dominant. Characteristics didn’t win on the punnet square but. Trunks is a spitting image of Vegeta (same nose, eyes, strong brow, heart shaped but sharp face) with a build like Bulma (taller, broad shouldered, lean). Meanwhile Bulla is a good mix in the face of her parents (Bulma’s eyes but Vegeta’s irises, Vegeta’s nose and height, Bulma’s lips and jaw) but she’s on the shorter side. Both have widows peaks reminiscent of Vegeta’s though… just not as. Yeah. Five head.

But they have Bulma’s laugh, Briefs hair color, elegance, and her smarts. :3

[ECHO.EXE RUNNING]

FOOTAGE: Personal recording from datapad registered to user PROJECT XIII-E. Audiovisual transcript attached.

[ The tablet has been propped up against a wall, from a strange angle in the hanger. It is clearly meant to go unseen. Within frame are four pilots, gathered on a collection of metal crates. They are as follows: ]

[ CARR - a large burly man, dark auburn hair tied back into a short ponytail, marginally more scruff than permitted by regulation. ]

[ BAARDSEN - a figure of middling height, mostly angles. Greyed hair, not indicative of age as they are early thirties at most. ]

[ MALDONADO - a figure shorter than the rest, brown hair and large brown eyes. Wearing a jacket several sizes too large ]

[ SPELLMEYER - an elderly woman tall and lean, salt-and-pepper hair that seems textured almost more like fur. Constant flickering eyes ]

[ The group of pilots appear to be mid conversation as the recording clicks into action ]

[ B ]▸ -we're not going to put this in the report. I just don't think it's a good idea.

[ C ]▸ Aye I get that Bardy, but really? Nothing? Just, business as usual they're fine and dandy thanks for asking? There's clearly something wrong.

[ B ]▸ And what do you think higher command'll do about it? They'll be sent back to base early, to look for something wrong with them physically. And nothing will be found, they'll just be stressed out...

[ S ]▸ They do have a point, dear boy. You know how Projects can get when you imply they can't do their job.

[ C ]▸ But we aren't clone techs, none of us are. Sure most of us have served with a Project before-

[ M ]▸ well

[ C ]▸ That's why I said most, Doe. But like I was saying, we're not the experts here. I think they need proper help for this one. Spells, you said they were completely non-responsive for a bit there right?

[ S ]▸ [the elderly woman sighs.] Yes. They passed me the datapad, then locked themself in their mech for a while. When I went up there to check on them, 13 had tucked themself away. Staring into space, didn't look up when I knocked.

[ C ]▸ See? What if-

[ S ]▸ But, if you'll let me finish dear boy, I have seen this happen before. Line 2's who lost people were known to shut down for short periods. Now our 13 is better equipped for such losses, but it's not impossible to my mind that the same doubt is what's causing their breakages. They've been active for quite some time. It does build up.

[ C ]▸ ... I suppose you might be right there, Spelly. But if that is the case, shouldn't we still...?

[ B ]▸ Again, no. Putting in the report that 13e had a breakdown in function will only damage their faith in their capabilities even further, which will put them out of commission for longer.

[ C ]▸ This can't be about how long we can keep using them, Bardy-

[ B ]▸ It's not! I want to make sure they're kept in one bastard piece too you know. Higher command needs to approve this line, it's a lifesaver. Literally.

[ C ]▸ But what about them. How the 13 in front of us right now's holding up? Because to me, it looks like they aren't. They need help.

[ M ]▸ Isn't that what we're trying to do?

[ B ]▸ [they pinch their nose, face screwed up in frustration.] Yes, exactly Maldonado. I'm- look. The big picture is important to me, you know that. But I'm not just thinking to the future Carr.

[ C ]▸ Really? You sure?

[ B ]▸ Yes! I-

[ S ]▸ Peace, you two. Carr, what I believe our squad lead is trying to say is that they aren't sure getting management involved with our 13's evident wear would be... in their best interests.

[ B ]▸ Yes. Thank you, Spellmeyer.

[ C ]▸ Okay, but- how? Why? They're the prototype, shouldn't they be- I don't know, important? Why wouldn't upper brass want them in proper shape?

[ B ]▸ Christ, I keep forgetting you're... never mind.

[ C ]▸ No go on, say it. You think I don't properly understand the situation because I'm not from one of your glitzy capital worlds?

[ B ]▸ No I- well, kind of but not like that Carr. You're... fucking hell.

[ M ]▸ Fascinating.

[ B ]▸ Wheesht, you. Listen, Carr, you're a pain in the neck and an infuriating joker but you're not stupid, or uneducated, any of that. There's just- stuff you don't get.

[ C ]▸ I think I get it alright. Brass'd treat them as a resource problem. That's why I don't get why you're so convinced they wouldn't be repaired- that's what you do with a tool that's breaking, right?

[ B ]▸ Yes, when it's something you can fix easy. This isn't a broken limb, or fractured bones. They're exhausted. But they're also...

[ S ]▸ Projects are wired to do single things with their lives, dear boy. Removing our 13 from the battlefield would be to remove them from their purpose. They're not built to occupy themself with other things during periods of rest.

[ B ]▸ Yes, I- thank you Spellmeyer.

[ S ]▸ There is also the matter of their prototype phase... they have been active for some years now. It would not surprise me if they were being stress tested.

[ C+B, in tandem ]▸ What?!

[ S ]▸ Come now. I know we do not like to think of the practicalities of R&D behind our medic, but we cannot avoid them forever.

[ C ]▸ But they're doing everything right, what do you mean-

[ B ]▸-upper management might be working them into the ground on purpose. That's what you're saying, isn't it Spellmeyer.

[ S ]▸ Well, yes.

[ C ]▸ That's- why?

[ S ]▸ Simple enough, dear boy. To see how long they can expect a line 13 to last in the field, under strain.

[ C ]▸ ... so you're saying that if we report back that they've been struggling, and how we've lightened the load...

[ M ]▸ Command might look out for future squads they're on doing the same. Stop it. So they can get their data.

[ S ]▸ There we are. Yes, that is rather the crux of this argument. Got there eventually

[ B ]▸ I- yeah. I guess that is what I was driving at, though I hadn't... I don't know. Those dots didn't connect until you said it.

[ S ]▸ That is why they pay me to think more than act, dear.

[ C ]▸ So... okay. I guess I can see some of where you're coming from. That's fucked.

[ B ]▸ It's efficient. Get use out of them in the field, and get the info they're looking for before more prints.

[ C ]▸ I- okay sure but still. We're just supposed to let them break under the strain?

[ B ]▸ We are under no specific orders except to keep them operating at peak. That's what we're doing by taking over some of the duties, isn't it? Command just... doesn't need to know why.

[ C ]▸ ... I still don't like it. Someone should be taking care of them. You know the Armory doesn't make them with enough self preservation to look after themselves.

[ B ]▸ I know, Carr. Which is why we're doing it.

[ C ]▸ Who after us, though? You heart the handler. They won't be here long.

[ B ]▸ ...

[ S ]▸ We're just going to have to hope their next squad is reasonable, as well.

[ M ]▸ yeah... I think it's likely. They're fun, you can forget they're a Project. And they're a lot nicer than some medics. I think people'd want to help them

[ C ]▸ But they can't ask. You know they can't. That's why we've not been telling them any of this, right? They'd work harder to hide stuff.

[ B ]▸ I guess we'll just have to hope people care enough to read into it like we did.

[ C ]▸ I- [he sighs, raking a hand through his hair.] I still think it's going to backfire eventually. But, fine. I'm on board. None of this goes in the reports.

[ B ]▸ [their shoulders sag with visible relief. they were more worried than they let on] Okay. Okay, good. Thank you Specialist Carr.

[ C ]▸ I just- whatever keeps them on their feet a little longer, yeah? They do good work. They deserve someone looking out for them too.

[ B ]▸ My thoughts exactly. Alright- meeting adjourned. Not a word of this to Project 13e, alright?

[ the group start rising to their feet, leaving frame with idle chatter. Some time later, the image tilts and whirls as the datapad is picked up and turned over. There is a brief frame of 13-e's face lit by the screen before the recording is stopped. ]

Homecoming

This is the first part of my post-Odyssey WIP! Masterlist here No TWs I can think of

As the child of morning, rosy-fingered dawn stretches across the sky, I see that the thread is knotted. 

It seems so obvious as I sit back, examining the tapestry before me. I misstepped. Seven rows back, there is a spot where I knotted the weft thread, doubling over a row. How I made such a novice mistake is beyond me. My jaw works as I carefully begin unwinding the thread. It will all need to be redone now. I can hardly display this with such a glaring error in the tapestry. 

A soft rap on the door shakes me from my thoughts. Lowering the shuttle, I square my shoulders. There is no more time for this now, anyways. Morning is upon us. “Yes?” 

Ctimene pokes her head into the room, and tension instantly eases from my bones. “Good morning, Penelope. My, have you been up all night?” 

She comes to stand by me at the loom, the only sound of her passage the subtle brush of fabric against her legs. I run a palm over the half-finished tapestry. “Sleep is…. Difficult. I find comfort in remaining busy.” Lately, weaving and attending to the suitors is all I seem to do. It began when potential husbands first approached me. When it became clear they wouldn’t leave me alone, I insisted that I could not wed any of them until I had weaved a shroud for my father-in-law, Laertes. His health worsened the longer Odysseus was gone. For four years, I distracted them with the promise of finishing that shroud. I would weave all day. At night, I would undo any progress I made. The fools didn’t even question it until my handmaid Melantho confessed the truth to Antinous. I can’t find fault with her, though. The men are relentless. 

“I understand.” Her voice is low and melodic as she fidgets with her braid. The resemblence between Ctimene and Odysseus is undeniable, down to the slight hook in their nose. A deep olive complexion and wiry build is shared between them. They are even the same height, since my husband has always been a little short I have to remind myself of the differences between them, such as the subtle shade in their curly hair. Odysseus’ was a dark blonde, while his sister has an auburn tint Day by day, his memory seems to fade from my mind. If I didn’t have someone who shares such a similar appearance I might have forgotten him entirely. Ctimene studies my work, where the form of a man stringing a bow is taking shape. “You could hold out for longer, m’lady. You don’t-”

“No,” I whisper. I rise from my stool to turn away from her and my foolish tapestry. “They already plotted to kill Telemachus once. They are wrecking the estate, raping my maids, and I cannot allow this behavior to continue. It has been ten years since the war, Odysseus is dead or unable to return home. Waiting another day will not change that.”

The words have never stopped hurting. ‘Odysseus is dead.’ Time is meant to ease the pain of old wounds, yet it hasn’t for me. It hasn’t for Ctimene, either. Her husband was a part of Odysseus’ crew. He is likely dead as well. Though we are both widows, she is not required to remarry as I am. The title of queen does not force her to choose someone else to sit on the throne. I gave my husband as much time as I was able. For ten years, I’ve held them off. I have raised Telemachus on my own. Expectations were just so crushing. I cannot put off the demands of the people. Had I given my father his wish, I would have wed as soon as news of the old king stopped coming. “Ctimene, thank you for checking on me. I appreciate your companionship.”

It is a clear dismissal. I don’t look to see the emotions flicker across her face. “Of course,” she murmurs. Her hand briefly settles on my shoulder. “I will be in the hall with you.” 

Then she is gone. I prepare myself, draping a veil across my face. Perhaps I should have heeded my father’s words years ago and remarried already. Maybe I would have grown to care for one of the suitors downstairs, or at least spared my maids some of the torment. There is just a part of me that refuses to believe Odysseus is truly gone. My head bows as I murmur a familiar prayer. “Athena, Daughter of Zeus, my husband was always a favored of yours. If you have blessed him, and he still lives, let him come home.”

One way or another, my suffering shall end today. My suitors foolishly believe that a lucky soul among them will claim my hand before the sun sets. Little do they know I have set them up to fail. It is my final act of devotion for the only man who will ever hold my heart.

[marinsawakening]

I wish there was actual design variety for the various Zeldas. We just get the same girl in different dresses. Even if they want to stay within the same skinny blonde pretty white girl constraints there's still sooooo much more variety possible. Incomplete list of traits to give Zelda:

Curls

Freckles/moles

Birthmarks

Tooth gap

Different heights

Different builds (broad-shouldered vs lanky etc.)

Different face shapes

Different eye/nose shapes

Glasses

Scars

Tattoos

Characterization details (oil smears, messy hair, excessive/distinctive jewelry, hunched posture, etc.)

You get the point. Can someone pretty pretty please convince Mx. Nintendo that at least making Zelda look like a different barbie doll will do a lot to make her actually feel human?

HISTORY//

History (Pre-DT): Sohna Yoani is the only child born to her parents Dawa and Shima, and was born and raised in Hhusatahwi, Shaaloani. Her father Dawa was killed when she was only five years old in a bandit attack, so Sohna was raised by her widowed mother Shima ever since. A few years prior to 7.0, Shima became disabled and has trouble with mobility and taking care of herself, so Sohna became her caretaker without a second thought. The mother and daughter duo moved to Tuliyollal soon afterwards in order to have more resources readily available and accessible to them. During the events of 7.0, Sohna almost died in the first attack on Tuliyollal and her mother Shima was killed, leaving Sohna with immense grief and an overwhelming need to avenge her mother and everyone else who was injured or killed in the attack.

CURRENT STATUS//

As of patch 7.2, Sohna is in Solution Nine hunting down the whereabouts and any information about Calyx and Preservation.

NOTE: Sohna is a secondary player in the story so to speak, as she will eventually be a Scion OC but not considered a Warrior of Light nor does she have a past life as an ancient. Sohna enters the story in 7.0 and shares her canonverse with multiple Warriors of Light and other OCs, namely my other WoL OCs Hali Aloke and Yume Aino @firelightmuse, along with several of my friends’ OCs). As such, Sohna might or might not be featured in some arcs of the MSQ, and she might not be involved with some side storylines at all. Feel free to ask me for any specifics in this regard.

Hear me out

HEAR ME OUT

I do not wanna anger any t’au fans glance over to the empty desert of one person but like hear me out!!

Was chitter chatting with a friend and like-

They called T’au the ‘cows of space’ and like—

G U Y S

MOO T’AU dies

More mammalian faces to help endear people to them + tails for the character design appeal to go with their already precious hooves????? The babiesss!!!!!!

Like to be fair I think most T’au designs work fine and communicate alien very well and all and their planet is different and that’s why they look like that or whatever, but their cute with their little hooves and precious armor I’m just a sucker for animalistic character design (cough chaos gods designs cough) and like the canon designs are good!!!! I’m just a freak

Maybe these can just be some sort of cross between a T’au and some unnamed aliens UwU if we REALLY need an “reason” other than I love them your honor

So here’s my ramblings about this eye twitch

To start off I just have a few random doodles figuring them out and stuff, seeing how their faces would work and figuring out elements I’d keep and loose!

To keep them recognizable as t’au I decided to keep their lack of hair (mostly well talk about it—) and turn their little ‘nose’(?) situations into markings instead! They’re also still blue I just— didn’t color them :3

Imagine….i jest i jest….unless?

This is where they get their cow ears and tail and it will not be changing ever-

I also mostly went with their descriptions from various wiki pages and things and just took inspiration bits and bobs from artwork!

Fire caste are in the range of human heights and are the most muscular of the castes, they even have more muscle mass then most humans to counter their planets naturally harsher gravity. this also aids their prowess as soldiers!

The fire caste’s hooves come more to a clawed shape, their ‘dewclaws’ normally being larger and thicker than other castes. Some higher ranking officials even having dewclaws that resemble and have sometimes get used more like a rooster spur, the fire warriors in some cases of being brought into imperial custody have been recorded to attack with these claws and often are trimmed or ‘booted’ to counter act this risk (especially with the “spur” variants)

Ironically with their soldier classification they are actually, by certain imperials which will not be named, found to be some of the cutest. The caste have thicker ears (likely to minimize damage taken when fighting) and out of all 5 castes are actually incredibly fluffy- adding to the human mind finding them to be “cute” on some level. The fire castes’ also have tails on the shorter end with thick fluffy hair tufts on the end of their tails

The fire (and air) castes are the only two which have prominent claws, which again aid in battle and self defense when/of unarmed and it is not uncommon to see a young tau’s hands with little mittens to prevent the young infants motor control practice from harming themselves

Earth caste are the shortest of the castes, stockily built and often a bit heavier then most fire caste due to their dense builds and often being a bit fatter then other castes.

Their hooves are duller and much more ground down then the fire caste, their legs tend to be thicker and much much much more musclar (though mileage may vary as some members of the caste can be more muscular than others and vice versa) they have also been seen occasionally displaying the “spur” variation.

Their ears are thicker and firmer then the fire caste, they are second fluffiest of the castes and the shortest tails with thin fur tufts that remind much more of some sort of strange dog. Their faces are in a resting sort of puppy face due to the way their mouths curve and even when (slightly minimally) emoting their face remains the same :3

Air casters are the lankiest and second slimmest & tallest of the castes. Slightly shorter than the water caste they are a bit more muscular then them but no where near the fire or earth castes’ broadness. Their hooves as very similar to that of the water caste and are very slim and thin and almost horse like in nature, they also have the smallest dewclaw of the caste’s and are one of the only castes which lack the “spur” mutation.

They have some of the thinner and floppiest ears of the castes (these help planet side air travel or when fast winds blow it won’t irritate the ears). They take third place in how fluffy they are. The air caste feature slim tails with very spare and thin hair tufts, but are on the middling length when it comes to their tails. As well as being the only other caste with claws :3

Water caste are the thinnest and tallest of the castes but are much more evenly proportional than the gangly lanky air caste. Again their hooves are similarly slim and dainty with a horse like air to them, but can often be ornately painted or decorated with various items but especially jewelry depending on the individual.

They are the sparest furred of the four castes (most ethereal are hairless :3) and tend to be the most ornately dressed. Their tails tend to be the longest and fluffiest thickest furred and tend to be groomed and styled in various ways and specially adored with bangles and jewelry. The caste having a very strong affinity for shiny objects normally are adorned with jewels to match and slim but long ears are often pierced and bejeweled end to end and anywhere in between. They also tend to have the most control over and be the most expressive of the castes!

All castes can have any variety of hair styles really, and depicted outfits/“unifroms” are not one size fits all and naturally the castes can see various changes depending on rank, line of work, individual preferences and more

The chart below also depicts the tallest of each caste, at their maximum heights, most caste members range a bit shorter then theses Water caste stands in at 7 feet tall (~213 cm), Air caste tend to max out around 6 feet 5 inches (~198 Cm), the fire caste again tend to be in the human height ranges but max at about 6 foot (~182.88 Cm), Eath caste meanwhile as the shortest tend to max out around 4 foot 11 inches (~149 Cm)

Early concept sketches

I’ve yet to decide on some designs on etherals but I’ll get there. These alone were really fun but very time consuming lol even if most of these doodles I had finished prior but shhhhh I love these goobs a lot tbh they’re so silly….i love designing each caste and picking out little reasons for the design tidbits. I think one of my favorite things is character design and Augh this was so fun.

Honestly could probably ramble for ages on the design variations and lore change ideas I have for these goobs

Do hope you all enjoy my little guys
