#theyre eclipse coded

[rattys-prinxiety-countdown]

Here's a prinxiety thing I wrote about prinxiety w my friend for an au. All written by me, based on mine and my friend's head canons

"Roman but he's a child of the sun. Sun kissed skin that is lighter than his father's and darker than his mother's. Long hair that he dyes red, long hair that looks like a burning sunset in the right light. A man who has never, ever been slighted by the sun in a picture. Whose smile and excitement burns brighter than anyone thought possible. Who literally lights up a room. Whose hugs are warm, like he's got a furnace burning inside of him. Whose passion and love for things he experiences is more intense than anyone realizes. Who always sought out the sun in a room when he was a child, even as a toddler who didn't understand why, who just understood the sun was good. Who always stopped to bask in the golden glow like he was a part of it. Roman but he's a child of the sun. Virgil but he's a child of the moon. Who is born in the middle of the winter, on the coldest night of the year, on the night of a full moon, who is literally cold to the touch, who is lale as snow, who comes off as cold to other people (see what I did there?), the opposite of Roman in every way (bc he's the sun see what I did there), who is most active when the moon is high in the sky as a night owl, who sometimes gives it his all and sometimes gives it half, just like the moon waxing and waning. The moon meets the sun and the sun makes chase and they meet and it's blinding for everyone else to see (an eclipse)"

Anyway the sun and moon are in love and I love them

— 👑

theyre so poetry coded guys, this was so pretty.

Roman lights up Virgils world and Virgil reflects that light back to him I-

[socksandbuttons]

me seeing the dark sun theory with him being eclipse and sun merged and im like

Ur missing a lot here but gjkbdv I think this also can stem from the fact of how Dark Sun feels about Moons. Like the merged video, that Moon? Didn't want to hurt or even kill him. Just 'Youre having a moment ur still getting used to this. ur baby' Basically having more patience and perceptive immediately to that not being the Sun he knew. But not hateful. Just 'Yeah ill call monty over here but this might be fine'. Like the Eclipse half is now at front of releasing that anger plus with Sun's? Yeah theyre gonna get aggressive real quick but I'd say it'd burn thru fast. clearly it was early enough before they made the channel and almost after being seperated. Early enough that now this Solstice being here can bite back and Moon will have to handle yeah thats... not a piece of code he left in there but thats still his brother even if theyre new. Dark Sun while not always one for truth I'd say would've been pushed to his absolute limit as a Sun. We've seen Moon's who are just... straight up negligent and terrible. And I'm a firm believer he got to where he was just being on his own as a Sun. One who's own bias towards moons really did just fuel getting his own happy end and other Suns (one who didnt... even need the help?) fates.

That kinda hate just.. while Eclipse has every bit of that its more stemmed in abandonment- It feels different with Dark Sun. It feels far more Sun vs Moon. More deep seated loathing that feels far more personal to a Sun. If that makes sense.

[moon-buggg]

hi this is that anon from before who mentioned dr. sunshine,, what abt having sun and moon as like... those two testing bots from portal 2, atlas and p-body!!! theyre even orange and blue lol!!! theyre test subjects your honor

hm, thats a fun idea! I might play around with it as a sort of au of an au because I do want this au to be primarily eclipse focused

I ultimately think they're going to be earlier iterations of Eclipse's code that were never fully wiped. I imagine them acting as the angel and devil on Eclipse's shoulder, offering how they would handle a situation without really being sentient in the same way eclipse is, if that makes sense. Old bits of discarded but not deleted code whispering to him in text boxes like how you sometimes remember advice from an old friend who you haven't talked to in years.

or, in less poetic terms, when they were training the AI that would eventually become eclipse, they used data from his earlier iterations. When eclipse is calculating how to react to a situation, he generally gets a suggestion each (give or take) from both Sun and Moon's integrated databases. They had their own personalities and quirks, which means the suggestions are not things eclipse would usually come up with on his own. Think that one post about the chat ai that is "haunted" by the ghost of an early chatbot they used to train the ai

It won't be a big part of the story if I ever write anything for it, its more just a fun way to really play into eclipse being a sentient ai

[strawbubbysugar]

I love your take of eclipse!! it's sad but good! I loved it! Like garnet in a way :D I loved how you described them that it was the way their code was supposed to work in the first place ah! it just sounds so beautiful ;w; like they are finally themselves? in peace? I LOVE IT!!! CRYING HAPPY TEARS!!!

Thank you so much!!! Yes I took super heavy inspiration from steven universe fusion on how I think he works - it makes the most sense to me!! Like Sun and Moon are still there! Theyre just a part of someone now together, that doesnt erase them as individuals!

[starcare-official]

Your headcanons 👁️👁️ hand them over 🫵😐

If that‘s too vague of a request then just your headcanons about Eclipse would be fine ^^

general headcannons,, i think the dca has like tiny paws and not actual feet under their shoes. not that you'd ever see it. i also like to think that sun and moon get a bunch of bracelets during the day and usually moon has to throw then away at night. unless the kid is a hyper-regular or its a matching bracelets

eclippsee though? i think theyre very hyper and malfuctional. like their code is a weird jammed mix of sun and moons that ends in a very shaky unsure robot.

theres a bit more i couldnt fit here but more feel free to ask about more specifics

[turbotasthick]

BIG BLOODY BROTHER AU RAMBLES: HARVEST

1. What is he and what does he do?

Harvest is a bloodthirsty robot. Intended by eclipse. Eclipse created him to be smart to help him in his endeavors. Harvests specialties include Building and Coding...

2. Where does he "live"

Harvest has ran away from eclipse, and he lives in an abandoned building. So far he has made it a home/lab. He has one very specific place he puts bloody in and its VERY well hidden and well built.

3. Whats his personality?

He still is bloodthirsty. His animalistic tendencies are lessen though- hes more akin to an insane mad scientist here.

4. What does he enjoy?

Just like the original, he enjoys killing people and eating, torturing. However THIS one enjoys the slow painful route. He loves to take his time, he LOVES to use weapons and gadgets he could make in his little makeshift "lab"

5. Whats his "parenting style" (FYI THEYRE BROTHERS BUT HARVEST IS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR BLOODY)

i guess since bloody is still a baby here he is very very loving and clingy but as bloody grows older i think hes "balanced" He allows bloody to do as he pleases but always sets rules and boundaries he has to follow. Curfews, and no girls.

6. Any ailments?

I think his bloodthistiness. It hinders his intelligence a lot. Its hard to tinker and concentrate in his work.

I do like to think after the separation of code harvest suffers from chronic migraines.

alchemy and robotics au!!!!!

mmmmmmkay hi :]]] basically this post is my dumping grounds for my newest au its only like 11 hours old 🫶 dumping ground under the cut

basics first!!! basically varian from tangled the series makes robots and theyre all dca creatures because the brainrot is so real. also some of the robots are from the sun and moon show (fyi i might not be getting the tsams characters characterized correctly, mostly because i only started getting into the characters n stuff about?? 3 days ago?? so forewarning 👍👍) varian makes most of the robos during the amber period so that influences how he designs a bunch of em!

silly doodles ahahhf

each robot and basic gist of them time!!!!

solar: first robot varian makes, helps keep his experiments and alchemy/engineering in track, science buddies <33 (nicknames for varian [thank you sunny for these agh <33]) : buddy, var, nerd (/aff, varian would probably retort that solar's also a nerd) )

moon: second robot varian makes, pretty much a feral defense system (he gets his very own spotlight later down the road) (nicknames for varian [thank you sunny for all of the nicknames <33] : vari, starlight)

sun: caretaker and emotional support robot, likes cleaning up the place a bunch (nicknames for varian: vari, sunshine)

earth: second caretaker, who varian accidentally made act similar to rapunzel out of a sense of bitterness (she likes styling and cutting his hair !!) (nicknames for varian: varbear, vari)

lunar: made sometime after the amber melted, not at all sure where to put him since i havent focused on him very much whoops (nicknames for varian: nerd (/aff lmao), var-var, vari)

(ruin) eclipse: also made sometime after the amber melted, nice sweet blorbo who makes for a very nice friend and loves helping around the castle (nicknames for varian: ALSO varbear, probably starlet)

moon is such a creature in this au he is the most creature you will ever creature (he attacks eugene shortly after the amber melted and varian overworks himself so much trying to get the violence out of his code)

at that point in time old corona is still being rebuilt and with the attack and the previous overwhelming guilt that gets added on to by that varian is completely spiraling but trying not to show that around anyone, especially the robots and his dad, hes split between helping rebuilding and recoding moon and taking care of the robots and hes way overworking himself

all of the robots are like varians siblings btw so its quirin and his 7 kids

alr thats all i can think of right now if you guys have any questions my ask box is extremely open 🫶

[muzzlemouths]

thanks so much for the answer! i love the idea of eclipse bein so frightened when theyre def the most frightening thing in the house themself lol- how do you think eclipse feels about halloween in general?? do they enjoy the spooky season and would they wanna do any other traditional halloween activities?? :0

eternally grateful for your second ask because this time i genuinely just forgot to reply. saw the message while out 'n about and went "oh! I'll reply to that when I'm home again :)" and. you won't believe what I did not do.

ANYWAY. I think LiT!Eclipse would be pretty divided on halloween. that is to say, i think they'd be skittish around haunted houses and scary decorations, but they would really enjoy dressing up in costume — especially when provided with the chance to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. Something about making kids smile just brings them buckets of joy! Almost like it's built right into their code... hm! weird 🤔😏

But of course you can't have treats without some tricks! They would no doubt get a kick out of giving y/n a little spook. It would start small (like hiding behind a door to scare them on the way inside), but would probably escalate pretty quickly once they figured out just how difficult it is to actually make y/n scared, even for sillies.

But I mean, come on. Y/N lives with the walking embodiment of a horror movie, already, what were they expecting? It'll take more than a little prank to get a good scream out of them.

Platonically hand holding you with SAMS and OCD, Autism, and general rep. Your tags are so true

As much as I do love ADHD rep i think i felt a part of my soul be set on fire when moon said he had adhd and not autism Like !! I think Monty is great ADHD rep for the most part, all the way down to the high expectations from parents that we can never quite meet (although in MGFS its definitely more than just that and likely not intended to be connected to his ADHD, i think it would make it even more interesting to have it correlated) And I'm not saying we can't have more than one ADHD character either - but they chose the autism coded characters of Lunar and Moon to have ADHD instead and it almost feels like its bc they consider ADHD to be "acceptable Autism" and that !! pisses me off a little bit. Ofc thats just my interpretation and not what theyre actually saying but regardless

Anyway Moon, Lunar, Eclipse, both sides of Bloodmoon, and Earth are all so very autism <33 peace and love on planet earth

[bones-of-a-rabbit]

idea,, readerbot au, but. Eclipse(tm)

short explanation: Eclipse is, in simple terms???, a virus or stray few remanents of code (thought to be deleted) gone haywire and MIA. he only exists as that code, though complex, he has no processor or body in any way; he just kinda (after getting free) runs around through the Fazbear systems peeking through cameras n occasionally tampering with with stuff in small ways (oh nooooo the lights went out when u crossed the room,, oh nope theyre back on just as u reach the switch! oh wait darn theyre out again as soon as ur halfway across th room again how could that have happened)

ReaderBot accidentally 'catches' the 'virus' while working on the arcade machine Eclipse had been stuck on, and is, naturally, quite worried n freaked out but can't seem to isolate the 'virus' in order to anti-virus it out of their system. Eclipse, having been trapped, isolated, and bored for years now, is erratic and unpredictable, inadvertently messing with ReaderBot's systems at odd times n making them confused n scared. After a while, Eclipse kinda chills out a bit after realizing Readerbot is actually afraid of him, and by the time Readerbot isolates his code and can antivirus him, he's too much of a sort-of-roommate for them to go through with it. the two become friends, Readerbot grateful for someone who can actually understand them, and Eclipse ecstatic to have someone to interact with after so long alone. and yeah Eclipse definitely starts crushing on them like hardcore sorry i dont make the rules he just does that on his own

tidbits: -Eclipse can alter their sensors to 'appear' in their field of view, but only as a sort of 'illusion' only readerbot can see -Eclipse can sort of 'hear' Readerbots thoughts, and is always very upset when they are feeling anxious or down, partly bc he can't physically do much to comfort or help them; instead, in an attempt to do anything he can to cheer them up, he does,, silly stuff? like if readerbot is almost knocked over by a customer and just stands there lowkey going 'geez, some people' eclipse will appear and mime kicking the rude person in th ass skhfjsdhfjskhdf -readerbot almost gets caught reacting n 'talking' to,, nothing. like multiple times. the kids think 'oh, they have an imaginary friend! neat!' while everyone else is like squints 'staffbot,, buggy? staffbot needs debugging? maybe reset staffbot? hmm. but so much data in there,, maybe is nothing? hmmmmmmmm. better keep eye on staffbot.' -(and yea sun n moon would have some kinda feelings abt readerbot basically letting a whole entire other entity/deleted version of them live in their head rent free) -(and also yea Eclipse is the remains of a prototype Daycare Attendant that got scrapped n replaced by Sun n Moon hehe :3c this definitely causes no drama at all 100% none)

ok now doodles,

[spinaroos-47]

So the secret S2 poem for now is " seething seas and puppet strings, he no longer dreams of kings as above rush darkened skies, as below- "

That's really interesting, its one of the things i cant stop thinking since like, Eda's requiem, when i discovered about the code

Seething seas is pretty obvious, puppet strings im pretty sure it's related to Belos, the "he" is interesting. There has been theorizing that this he is Belos, which i did think of, but like, could it be someone else? Hunter maybe? King? The collector? Theres not a lot of options of characters that use he/him that would be likely besides these

The kings bit make me unsure of it being about belos no longer dreaming of kings. King is kinda obvious why it could be him, as well as Hunter, both being desillusioned with king-like figures.

And the rush darkened skies is intriguing me a lot. Could it be the eclipse? (Actually belos didn't say that it was going to be one but its a safe assumption) Since a solar eclipse does make the sky darker all of a sudden. This eclipse thing is what makes me think it could be the collector.

Also i only realized as i wrote the poem here that "as below" probably isnt on the same line as the rest, it does makes more sense with how i put it here. So this mysterious "he" doesn't think that kings are above rush darkened skies, but also doesnt think theyre below something anymore

[the-incorrect-quotes-show]

theres only one more week until theyre supposed to give eclipse the star, what would happen if they didnt?

would he lock sun and moon inside until they get it? will they start the lunar and eclipse show? would they basically kill sun and moon until they got it?

what if he did?

does he not know he will basically die as well? he'll just revert back to the kill code. will he become the moon we know?

speaking of: what about moon? if lunar is what hes supposed to be without the kill code, what would happen to lunar? will there just be two lunars? since he wasnt made to exist like this, will he just shut off? will there just be two suns and moons?

i am scared to find out either way

[kraviolis]

sorting the owl house characters into hogwarts houses, because im cringe

luz - ravenclaw

she’s creative and clever and is always searching to learn new things and loves learning just for the sake of learning. shes incredibly witty and quick thinking and open-minded. she’s constantly finding clever, creative, and original ways to solve her problems. she hardly blinked when given the opportunity to learn magic, and only continued to show an intense amount of intelligence and appreciation for academics. shes very resourceful as a human learning magic, finding a entirely new form of magic when it was apparent that she couldnt do it the traditional way. she’s very aspiring, wanting to be a witch and an author since she was very young. she’s very logical about a lot of things, like how it doesnt make sense to not allow witches to study multiple tracks or that people were imprisoned just for being themselves. she’s highly encouraging of individuality which is a lesser known trait of ravenclaw but very important. she can be a perfectionist at times and tended to avoid social interaction so she could persue her creativity. she’s outspoken, an overthinker, and very competitive. i think a lot of people might say she’s a hufflepuff, as she’s loyal and kind and hardworking, but luz values learning and creativity above any of those other things— this is evident, when she makes the decision to stay in the boiling isles to learn magic rather than go home to her mom, thus putting knowledge and creativity over her own family.

eda - gryffindor

she’s not afraid to stand up for herself and others and will never back down from a challenge. she would rather die as herself than live unauthentically. she’s very passionate and empathetic. she’s rebellious against rules that dont make sense to her and cares intensely for her friends and family. she has a strong internal moral code that she sticks to intensely, never straying from it. in the very first episode, she breaks into the conformatorium just to get a paper crown thats important to king. she let raine break up with her because she didnt want to burden them with her curse. she forfeited the match with lily because she knew her sister wanted to be in the emperor’s coven more than she ever did. she’s sacrifices herself for luz & king over and over again because she cares so deeply for her.

king - slytherin

he’s self-centered, smart, arrogant, and highly ambitious. he would do anything to achieve his goals— which was at first reclaiming his throne as the king of demons, and then turned into finding out where he came from. he tried to use luz as a means to reach his goals when he became an author, nearly sacrificing their friendship. he became incredibly loyal to luz after that in the same way he’s loyal to eda, the one who raised him.

(other characters under the cut)

lily - slytherin

it was between this and ravenclaw, because she’s incredibly intelligent and does seem to enjoy learning and has a great mind, she’s also incredibly ambitious and prideful. the deciding factor was that she cursed eda just to reach her own goals. she’s still loyal to eda even when working for belos, which says a lot to how she’s loyal to only a select few people. to her, the ends justify the means (making amity cheat to appear like the better teacher, cursing eda to win the duel, kidnapping luz to get belos to cure eda, losing her magic to help eda)

amity - gryffindor

this one was hard, i swapped between slytherin and gryffindor a lot for her. she’s ambitious and intelligent, but also not afraid to do whats right even if means breaking the rules. she’s self-sacrificing and empathetic and prideful. she ended her friendship with boscha to help luz and willow win. she didnt like luz at first because luz kept cheating and messing up her life, which means she has a strong moral code against cheating and bullies. she’s rebellious in small ways at first but once she started realizing how terrible her parents and belos really were, she pulled away extremely quickly.

willow - slytherin

not surprising, if you take into her account of self-preservation and bending of the rules to suit her ambitions. in the first episode she agrees to cheating just to get ahead in school because she wants to make her parents proud, and in the end she switches to the plants track so to her the ends justify the means. she pulled out of the grudgby game when luz pushed her & gus too far, a perfect example of that self preservation. she has a sense of loyalty that extends to very specific people but she always makes sure those people are taken care of. her parents, luz, gus, and eventually king, eda, and amity, too. she wouldn’t die for them, but she would kill for them.

gus - hufflepuff

sure, he has the ravenclaw curiousity and thirst for knowledge, but he’s very kind, hard working, has a strong inner sense of justice and fairness, and is tolerant of others. he helps mattholomule even if he’d been a jerk before because it was unfair if he didnt. he helps luz break into belos’s castle to find a cure for eda, lets luz borrow his library card to see amity, and hated it when mattholomule tried to lie about the human objects. he knows what it feels like to be left behind and underestimated, so he makes an effort to be kind to others who seem to be in the same boat. he’s very young but already so accomplished which is a testament to how hard he works.

hunter - hufflepuff

this one was HARD. it was either slytherin or this, and a deciding factor for this is the fact that he is self-sacrificing. he sacrifices a lot for other people, even if it doesnt seem like it. in the palisman episode, he sacrifices the palismen getting away despite knowing he would be punished for returning empty-handed. in eclipse lake, he leaves to find the titans blood for belos when he simply could have stayed in the castle and been safe. he’s viciously hard-working, dedicated, and loyal to his family. he lets people’s actions speak for them. he doesn’t immediately judge luz for using wild magic and actually seems interested in it before remembering to be loyal to belos. he’s patient, too, as seen by his interactions with luz. he gets frustrated, sure, but he still works with her. he’s modest about his rank and title, preferring to not flaunt it more than needed. but he does take pride in it. he’s kind in his own way, specifically to belos and lil rascal, but you can see it in his interactions with amity & luz, too. with amity, he empathizes with her and gives her advice that he thinks is true, and offers to dig a grave for her too when its apparent that neither of them are getting any titans blood. with luz, he gives up the palismen and protects her from kikimora. that boy is a hufflepuff for sure.

raine - gryffindor

oh buddy theyre the biggest gryffindor ever. they extremely, extremely brave. they have terrible stage fright and anxiety but they still became head bard, and they still ran an underground resistance group, and they still gave everything up just to help eda. they have a strong sense of whats right and whats wrong and incredible amount of passion, empathy, and integrity. they have a great sense of pride— “How did someone with stage fright end up as Head Witch?” “I’m just that good.”— and are very selfless. they stopped eda from sacrificing herself because they knew her kids needed her more, they sacrificed themselves in eda’s place and gave up everything they had just so eda wouldnt have to.

camila - hufflepuff

she’s extraordinarily kind, even when she’s terrified. she’s accepting and open-minded and hardworking, making sure to show luz that she loves her creativity but still wants to make sure luz can do well in school and can make friends. sometimes you can do something you think is kind but isnt really. she’s also a single mother doing her best to give her daughter a good life, which is a credit to how hard she works and how dedicated she is to her daughter. she even took the day off of work to drive luz to camp because she knew luz was anxious and wanted to reassure her. she’s patient with luz, and even when faced with the scariest moment of her life, she’s still thinking of how luz feels rather than her own fears and anger. she’s very much a hufflepuff in the way that she’s quiet and unassuming but fiercely protective of her family.

vee - slytherin

she’s opportunistic and has a sense of self-preservation. she’d rather save her own skin than do that right thing. she’s cunning, having pretended to be camila’s daughter just to have a place for herself. this isnt a bad thing at all, though. she’s also loyal to camila, who she sees as her family, and even got into a fight with luz over how she treated camila. she still listened to luz and let luz help her so that vee could remain living as luz. she doesnt feel guilty about valuing herself ahead of luz.

belos - ravenclaw

honestly? not a hard decision. he’s smart, sure, but he’s not people-smart. he didnt think lilith would betray him after he admitted to lying about healing eda. he doesnt understand loyalty, not even to those close to him. he’s rational and logical rather than emotional. if the theory that he is philip wittebane is to be believed, then its obvious he has an appreciation for learning and knowledge. belos distinctly reminds me of lockhart, or even quirrell, who were also in ravenclaw. he’s got an arrogance to him that blinds him, believing himself to be the smartest and strongest witch on the isles and thus underestimating others, which will only lead him to ruin.

[kokichis-dead-dove-club]

I know there are lots of WC books, boy do I know. But put your most faves of the series and rate them - shipping-shiggy.

oh fuck this is HARD

hmmmmmm...... im gonna do this in categories i think, putting under the cut bc this could get long

alright i'll start with super editions, since theyre the most cut and dry i think

crookedstar's promise, it's super good, very emotional, i love crookedstar

tallstar's revenge, very gay, love it

this one's kinda difficult bc i havent read most of the older ones in a long time, so i think my answer would probably change once i've reread them, so... tentatively, im gonna say crowfeather's trial, for the sole reason that i have been a crowfeather fan since i was 10

ok next up im gonna do it by arc, and then after that i'll pick my faves out of those faves

for the prophecies begin:

into the wild, ofc

rising storm

i think a dangerous path and the darkest hour are tied here

honestly, the first arc in general is just rly solid, probably the best in the series (altho not my favorite arc)

now for the new prophecy... disclaimer, i havent read these books in at least 6 years, and i dont remember hardly anything so im going off wiki summaries lmao

starlight (windclan civil war my beloved, oh if only you were better fleshed out and expanded on)

sunset (good bramblehawk content lmao)

moonrise

power of three time

eclipse!! when i was a kid i reread this book over and over bc i thought the battle in the tunnels was just SO fucking cool, and yknow what? i was right

dark river

the sight

omen of the stars

the last hope for the sheer impact it had on me as a kid (also i still cry over firestar's death lmao)

night whispers

the forgotten warrior

dawn of the clans, my favorite arc!

the first battle, it has my favorite line in the series and is just. so good.

a forest divided

path of stars

a vision of shadows

SHATTERED SKY this is in my top 5 of all time, i LOVE how fucking dark it is, i can't get enough, i want more warriors books that are this level of fucked

thunder and shadow

the apprentice's quest

honestly this arc... kinda sucks lmao, it has some high points but overall... nah

the broken code! this is probably my 2nd or 3rd fave arc, i rly liked it

lost stars, incredibly strong start to an arc

the silent thaw, was not bored for even a single page reading this one, which is very rare for warriors

darkness within bc of how dark it is, even in comparison to the rest of this arc; like, that scene where the sisters are trying to summon bramblestar's ghost but instead it's a bunch of ghost cats screaming in agony?? fucking awesome

aaand i can't rly rate the current arc since theres only one book out dnfgdjkfh but i really loved river, i think this arc is gonna be pretty good!

soooo overall rankings! we have:

shattered sky, i could read it again and again, i swear

the first battle

into the wild

and just for funsies here are some of my least favorite books, not rly categorized bc im getting tired of typing<3

yellowfang's secret, leopardstar's honor, squirrelflight's hope, the sun trail (seriously fuck this book), outcast (every time the erins write a traveling book i die a little more inside), the fourth apprentice, river of fire, and the place of no stars

[m-feys]

OK NEURODIVERGENT GAANG TIME BC I WANNA

these hcs are kinda halfway set in a modern au bc thats my context for this ! (gonna split it up so its not as long bc i drafted the original and it was LONG) water tribe siblings first !!!

Sokka

adhd/autism king 😌

[ID: a screenshot of Sokka standing on a raised stone platform with a map of the Fire nation hanging behind him. He’s holding his arms stiffly by his side with a wide-eyed look on his face, brows raised as he has his mouth open, saying something. End ID.]

- schedules to survive, he likes to know what hes getting into and if you try to change plans on him without warning he’ll be very resistant

- smart kid who doesnt study, oh he tries, oh boy does he try, he ends up reading the same sentence over and over until he gets distracted by drawing something, working on the blueprint for his latest invention, or with researching something completely unrelated to what he’s mean to be studying. then he tosses and turns all night because he’s stressed by not having studied, but when he actually takes the test he makes a 105, despite there not even being a bonus question, he just answered the essay question so well the teacher gave him an extra 5 points

- special interests?? we got em!!! classic weaponry (think swords, boomerangs, but also, like canons and catapults and shit) engineering/physics, art/drawing, strategy games. he tends to hyperfocus within his special interests, so like for a week he was hellbent on building his own full sized trebuchet, much to the dismay of Gran Gran who just wanted to grow her tomatoes without them being crushed by said full size trebuchet

- (also he plays all types of games probably, but he def plays those ones where you take over the world, like the ones online and azula also plays them too and they end up being rivals, while not actually knowing who the other is outside of their usernames)

- he also talks a lot in his classes/is like the ‘class clown’ and ppl think this is him not focusing but engaging this way actually helps him focus way more than sitting silently, a lot of teachers dont understand it but the ones who do are actually paying attention and realize that he’s generally talking/joking about their current topic

- some observations (this shit is all canon babey!!!) - sokka is great at being a leader and communicating in groups he’s in but he really really struggles in front of crowds, one-on-one and sokka can talk well, joke and stuff but as soon as he’s separate from other people and everyone is just listening he clams up (solar eclipse pt 1). he also loves to joke and make people laugh, and a lot of the time he misinterprets stuff because he’s autistic but he also will realize this and do it anyway because he thinks it’s funny and he likes laughing with his friends (idk if this happens in canon but i do this and sokka does too bc i said so :^). He also takes up the protector/comforting role but despite his best intentions he can sometimes say insensitive stuff and not even realize what he’s done to upset people (when he happily told aang ‘the whole world thinks your dead!’) works best when he feels needed, if he feels unnecessary or like something doesnt matter he struggles to complete it (i feel like the beginning of sokka’s master rlly demonstrates what i mean here), and this goes both ways, he will put too much value into certain things that he cares about and can get his priorities mixed if he’s focused too much on what he believes matters more than what might be most pressing (zuko destroyed his suki sculpture, oh right bc he was attacking aang)

Katara

she also has adhd/autism, (so do both Hakoda and Kya 💙)

[ID: a screenshot of Katara, Hakoda, Sokka, and Bato. Hakoda has his hand on Katara’s shoulder as they both look at Bato who is saying something, she has curious look on her face with her brows raised, while Hakoda looks exasperated. Sokka beside him his also looking curiously up at Bato, with one brow raised and the other furrowed. Bato has a neutral expression on his face as he speaks. End ID.]

- palms sweaty thoughts spaghetti, she tries to be practical bc she thinks someone needs to be but really her brain is like a runaway train, she sees something that needs doing and is like, guess ill do that now! and drops whatever she was doing first. she can get very anxious because of this because all the thing that need doing start to pile up because theyre all in her brain at once. that and as much as she tries to be practical she’s very impulsive, getting help from other people really helps alleviate this stuff

- interacting w ppl, when she was only part of her own smaller community she had a lot less toll on her, bc she knew everyone and was used to them, as she meets more people she gets really frustrated with how many people seem to refuse to say what they really mean. Katara is very straightforward herself and she says what she means, so even tho she gets more and more perceptive when interacting with new people, she resents how much she has to work just to decipher what people really mean half the time.

- caring for ppl, with people she cares about communicating is much easier bc she knows them, so she’s very open about her feelings around these people, and she can be hyper empathetic at times, but then sometimes she will say SUPER insensitive stuff off the cuff because she’s just very impulsive and she might regret it after the fact but she really struggles with apologizing because being wrong makes her feel like ppl are going to reject her

- perceptions, she knows what’s expected of her by the world, but she really rejects the idea that she has to stay in her role. still, she has internalized a lot of these expectations and tries to perform them, even when she sometimes struggles. beyond herself, she’s very certain about what she knows is wrong and has a strong moral code, she sees something wrong and she wants to fix it.

- she’s awful in school, not because she’s not smart, but she’s smart in ways that society does not appreciate. she doesnt care at all about all the worksheets and math she’s never gonna use, and all the history that got distorted, she’s much better at learning stuff on her own and she will go on deep dives of subjects she cares about and is super knowledgeable abt them.

He has a slight grin on his face with his mouth open to speak, eyebrows raised and looking at the viewer calmly. He’s wearing his usual blue tunic with the Earth Rumble XI belt along with his earth kingdom bag hanging across his chest. The text on the image says, “This post made by ADHD Sokka gang. End ID.]
