#thinking abt the fact he's canonically a gossip

[kartsstuffig]

my son. my boy.

[nocofamilyau]

Out of curiosity, Do you think Cody would still keep in contact with Gwen? And is Ezekiel doing better now atleast?

(me shamelessly asking a random question before asking abt my favorite character to not look suspicious /j)

like in canon (or, at least taking Christine Thompson's word for it..), Cody's attraction to Gwen fizzled out after World tour ended. sure, they kept in contact for a little while after but eventually that came to an end as they naturally moved on with their lives

this was from another ask that's now invisible in my inbox (probably due to the account that asked being deactivated - its pretty much on me for not answering what's in my inbox sooner/being put off trying to put each ask into a coherent order, deepest apologies for that), but it's mainly Cody that constantly wonders how the other TDI contestants (except the ones that he already still sees personally) are going, I guess more as like a passing thought.

(also, yet another retcon, hopefully the last one for a while - I mentioned in an earlier post that Cody was close friends with Sierra, who co-writes for his celeb gossip blog.. well the blog is still a thing, but has long since been abandoned. it was more of a side project Cody did during his 20's, with Sierra occasionally writing some stuff for it here and there. one day however, something clicked in Cody's mind - something that should have clicked long ago, and he stopped spending as much time with Sierra. hell, he probably hasn't seen her in years at this point, probably for the better..)

as for the Ezekiel question... oh man, I was sort of dreading when I would bring this up, since this idea has been stewing in my mind for a good while now, and admittedly, from one Zeke enjoyer to another, this will not a pleasant thing to reveal, but there needed to be a reason for Total Drama to be cancelled in this au, other than to needlessly justify why all newer generations of TD cast members are much younger than they are in canon

Ezekiel's dead. when he fell into that volcano in the World Tour finale, he didn't end up making it out (I mean, dude was submerged in BOILING LAVA - I get its a cartoon but its far from believable that someone could survive that). some say he was put out of his misery, others think it was a perfect example of how greed could ruin a person, but all in all, it was fucked. it was not a pretty death, and the fact that Chris and the TD production crew still had the AUDACITY to keep footage of and broadcast someone's death on international TV was enough to get the show cancelled immediately and get the shit sued out of Chris. at least now he can't terrorise anymore teens, sucks to be him...

[mangledscrimp]

OKAAYYY LALA HAVEN’T DONE ONE OF THESE IN A WHILEEE

Angela Ledore!! For Diabolical Yuri au!! Her ref!!

tralalalaaa As usual I’ll go into detail abt each bullet and mayyybe add some facts into this as well!!

poo ignore how bad her side profile is in da corner,, I don’t really car

Bullets-

•Curling hair

Angela and Hershel are very good friends! When Hershel initially met Angela, Angela had straighten hair. Overtime as they grew closer, Angela adored Hershel’s hair and wanted to style it similar to hers! She really enjoys her new look.

•Pronouns

Angela still goes by she/her in this au lolsss

•Questioning herself

Angela has no idea what to label herself as. She’s still learning and doesn’t want to attach herself to a label just yet.

•Last name

Angela’s full name is Angela Ledore in this au. I like to think she has the last name of Ledore and that Henry just takes her last name in the future. lalala!

•Good friends

Angela is very good friends with Alphonse and Hershel. Though, Her and Alphonse tend to spend more time together, gossiping or just hanging out and having fun! They often skip classes together to go shopping or visiting a cafe, sadly Hershel wouldn’t dare skip, she’s too busy in class!

Unmentioned in the main bullet; Angela is decently good friends with Henry. She doesn’t get to talk with him much since he’s kept at the ascot mansion majority of the time, but when he’s with the group, she enjoys his company greatly.

•Still friends..?

Angela and Randall have a rocky friendship. They used to be really close since they were itty bitty critters but, things seemed to really drift apart after Randall’s father had gone missing. Both Angela and Alphonse seemed to distanced themselves from her. They didn’t mean to, Randall just started acting weird once she found this mask that her father had owned. Nonetheless, they still hangout with Randall now that Hershel joined the friend group.

•Brother

Angela’s brother in this au is named Giuseppe (NOT THE ONE IN CANON LOLL!!). He was about 18 when he had gone missing. He and Izan (Randall’s father) were pretty close since they both had an interest in ancient civilizations. With one being relatively close to stansbury, they decide to check it out. Sadly, after that day, He hadn’t come back. A few days past and a picture is hung up in the hallway of Angela’s house. It had a pot of chrysanthemums on the end table where the frame was hung. Angela didn’t know what it meant at the time so she assumed that he just went off to college, at least that’s what her mother had told her.

Little fact!

•Future

If angela was a teenager in the future era with technology, she’d definitely be glued to her phone. She’d enjoy music from popular artists (would she be a swiftie…..frown face)

[gardenofhope]

I may or may not have ended up writing around 2k words after making this post the other day... it REALLY made me think abt some characters I haven't thought twice abt before... kind of fun! this is subject to change, but I'm glad I now have an idea on how the twins interact with a good amount of canon characters.

Lula's list is the left image, while Luca's is the right. you can hear my insane ramblings under the readmore.

Meta Knight:

Lula: A given. Lula was scared of him at first obviously, but once she started training with him and realized he regretted his previous actions and is truly trying to make amends with her, she warms up to him… Especially after having a breakdown in a storage room on the Halberd and he tries to comfort her. They become very close over time, and she can trust him with just about anything.

Luca: Again, another given, despite the fact that Luca absolutely despised him at first because of what Meta Knight did to his sister, it takes him a VERY long time to warm up to Meta Knight. Meta Knight taking Luca to the Fountain of Dreams at a time where he needed it most definitely helped, however. Luca was also very excited to learn about the existence of the Halberd despite his initial feelings about Meta Knight, and now he has a hand in helping with maintenance/repairs on it. At this point in time, Luca trusts Meta Knight as well, often confiding in him with things he won’t tell his sister.

Bandee: 

Lula: Lula would have already been friends with him for a while, but they grew closer once Lula started training with Bandee on her own, since he’s very skilled with his spear and was more than happy to help Lula improve at fighting with hers when Meta Knight asked him to help. I see them both being the kind to put a lot of high expectations on themselves, and constantly pushing themselves to “be better”. They confide in each other often, and they’re both grateful to have someone who understands how they feel. Lula also gifts him apple baked goods on occasion! 

Luca: He sees Bandee as someone who’s very kind and hardworking… very reminiscent of his sister. He gets along very well with him, and is happy to see Lula act more like herself around someone like Bandee.

Taranza: 

Lula: Lula probably finds him to be a bit snooty at first before they get to know each other better. He'd show her his huge royal garden [assuming he rules over Floralia after triple deluxe], his personal library and every inch of his castle, probably wanting to impress her, but to Lula he would just come off as showing off to her. Though they bond over time due to their shared interests in gardening and reading. They visit each other on occasion to help out in the other’s garden, all while Taranza complains/gossips about anything and anyone he deals with in Floralia. Lula secretly loves gossip, so she eats all of it up.

Luca: Thinks he can be a bit stuck-up at times, but holds no ill will towards him. Gets to hear about the petty gossip Taranza tells Lula. Loves every bit of it. Though, all the books Taranza makes him read relating to magic tires him out at times...

Magolor: 

Lula: Friends because of how much time Luca spends with him. She’d find him annoying every once in a while, but would be a big fan of listening to him whenever he starts rambling about something he’s been studying/researching recently.

Luca: At first, Luca is off put by how… suffocatingly friendly Magolor was, he could tell that Magolor was trying way too hard to put up a front and be nice, while Magolor was just kind of desperate to make new friends. They get along better once they start talking more about their shared interests and Magolor acts more like himself. They’d ramble to each other for hours on end, and Luca would be EXTREMELY fascinated by the Lor. Magolor also helped Luca better understand and control his magic, as well as Taranza. 

Susie: 

Lula: The two of them hang out and do “girly” activities together, they relate to each other in some way from Susie not having much of a childhood to Lula being trans, so they indulge together in these activities as a result. Mainly shopping, where Susie will not hesitate to spend an enormous amount of money on things she doesn’t need. Lula very much appreciates Susie’s company, and while Susie probably wouldn’t outright say it, she feels the same way…also Lula likes to tell Susie embarrassing stories about Luca so she can make fun of him later for it. Usually happens when Luca annoys Lula more than normal.

Luca: Susie seemed a bit TOO interested in Luca’s electrical magic when they first met [he’s basically a walking battery after all], and she offered him a job at Haltmann Works when she learned about his proficiency in working on machinery. He immediately declined, though was willing to go on a tour of the company. A tour to him is like going to an amusement park for a day. Susie definitely got on Luca’s good side after that. Him and Susie would discuss plans/projects together and actually understand what the other is talking about. They’re both extremely smart, they both kind of have an ego about it, and they both love gossiping to each other! Good for them <3

Kirby: 

Lula: Kirby’s friends with just about everyone! He’s the first one the twins would meet. He would LOVE her cooking, and Lula would always invite him inside for a meal should he come and visit the twins. Lula tries to help Kirby get over his fear of caterpillars, but its slow progress. He’s surprisingly perfectly fine with other types of bugs, however.

Luca: Kirby would be one of a few people willing to listen to Luca’s ramblings on whatever project he’s currently working on, despite the fact that he would have no idea what Luca would be talking about. Luca really doesn’t mind though, he’s just happy to have someone who listens. The two of them also try to steal Lula’s leftovers on occasion, or try to grab a bite of whatever she’s cooking before she’s finished. Lula will ALWAYS blame Luca, even if Kirby secretly takes her food without Luca knowing…

King Dedede: 

Being appointed as a knight and a ranger by the king himself would mean they’d be on good terms ideally, yes? The twins were nervous to meet the KING of Dreamland at first, but very quickly realized how kind and down-to-earth he was. He shows respect for the two of them over how willing they were to help during the events of star allies and katfl, and gave them their titles between those two games. He sees the two of them as hardworking and determined to help anyone in need, shining examples of Dreamland’s residents!…he’s also a big fan of Lula’s cooking, like many others. Both of the twins help out occasionally around the castle when needed, they hold him in high regard, and find his rivalry with Kirby kind of really funny. Thankfully it’s a healthy rivalry at least!

Gooey: 

It's Gooey. Everyone loves Gooey. If you don't, you're lying to yourself.

Adeleine: 

Lula: She would get into arts and crafts because of Adeleine! They would draw/create together often, along with having picnics where Lula would bring baked goods. They would just enjoy each other’s company without the expectation of having to hold a conversation, parallel play for the win!

Luca: Draws with her and Lula on occasion, usually draws new plans for any projects/inventions he wants to work on. 

The Meta-Knights:

The twins spar with the Meta-Knights often as part of their training with Meta Knight, as well as constantly having to be on the Halberd. Took the twins a while to act like themselves around all of them in the same way it took for them to do so with Meta Knight. Lula often brings them food she’s made herself, and all of them are VERY ecstatic every single time [well except for Javelin cause. y’know…robot]. Luca probably gets caught by one of them often for trying to snoop around the Halberd, whether its to look in the engine room or trying to disassemble Heavy Lobster for the tenth time to see how it operates... After a while the Meta-Knights unofficially claim the twins as part of the group.

Marx: 

Lula: Marx likes pranking her WAY too often. He’d see right through her act when they first meet, and uses it to his advantage to annoy her/get under her skin. He also finds joy in jumpscaring her when she least expects it, though he doesn’t usually go through with any bigger pranks since Luca wouldn’t hesitate to electrocute him, despite them being friends.

Luca: Friends, but known to fight on occasion due to how much Marx likes pestering Lula. Put these two and Magolor together and you will never know peace. 

Daroach: 

The twins are big fans of hearing Daroach’s many stories of hunting for treasure with the Squeaks, now whether he exaggerates some details of his stories for dramatic effect or not is up to debate. Has probably tried to teach Luca how to steal, much to Lula’s dismay. 

The Mage Sisters: 

Lula: She’d get along with them! Enjoys hearing the banter between the three of them, I can see her getting along best with Francisca I think? I can imagine the four of them and a few others like Adeleine/Susie/Ribbon having a “girls night” of sorts on occasion, whether that’s just watching movies together and eating snacks, or going out exploring/sightseeing and getting caught in sticky situations as a result.

Luca: for some reason it was easier to come up with stuff for Luca…

Zan Partizanne: Get along well, especially since they both have electrical magic, leading to her showing Luca some cool attacks and possibly indulging him in letting him use her drums that she uses as a weapon. 

Flamberge: Tries to see how far he can annoy her until she gets too irritated, in a similar way to how he loves to annoy Lula. She’d try to get on his nerves too in revenge. They enjoy each other's company!

Francisca: Not the most comfortable around her because of her ice magic, but acts nice to her since she’s friends with Lula.

Elfilin: 

Lula: Thinks he’s incredibly sweet! His upbeat personality always lightens her mood. 

Luca: Always happy to see him! Keeps an eye on him to make sure he’s doing alright.

Sillydillo:

Lula: Thinks he’s a bit weird…

Luca: They both hoard collect things, and build random things together with the junk Sillydillo finds! A fun activity for the two of them.

Clawroline & Leongar: 

I imagine the two acting very sweet towards the twins after getting the chance to properly meet them near the end/after the events of katfl, they would have a soft spot for the twins and are always happy to see them whenever they visit.

Animal Friends: 

No strong feelings about them! They’d all get along fine.

Ribbon: 

The twins only hang out with her when Adeleine is around, probably doesn’t see her often since she’s from Ripple Star, aside from the times she accompanies the Queen when they visit King Dedede.

Shadow Kirby: 

Both of them want to try to get to know him better, but Shadow Kirby acts aloof and keeps to himself most of the time.

Dark Meta Knight: 

Lula: A bit intimidated by him, but still acts polite towards him, surprisingly on good terms. He dislikes her mirror counterpart, however.

Luca: Does not trust him at all, reminds him of how he felt about Meta Knight at first, despite DMK literally doing nothing to them. Though, learning about the events of katam does not help.

Prince Fluff: 

They’ve probably only met him a handful of times outside of any important diplomatic meetings with Dedede, no strong opinions.

Gorimondo: 

Lula: All she knows is that he’s fought Meta Knight multiple times before. Is secretly impressed by how often he fought him without fear. 

Luca: A little intimidated by him solely because of how TALL he is. He’s very friendly though!

Hyness: 

Neither would not want to be around him after the events of Star Allies, and with how he seemed to treat the Mage Sisters during it. They would just try to avoid each other for the most part.

Sectonia: 

Lula: Knows bits and pieces about Sectonia from being close friends with Taranza, but doesn’t push him to discuss more about her than he already has. 

Luca: Might have heard about her briefly, either by Lula or Taranza himself.

Haltmann: 

Lula: Has heard that he was Susie’s father in passing, but otherwise she really has no idea who he is.

Luca: Susie tries to not dwell much on her father after the events of robobot, and despite Luca being nosy, he knows the topic seems to be a bit of a sensitive one for Susie, and minds his business. 

Fecto Forgo/Fecto Elfilis: 

The twins never went to Lab Discovera, and Elfilin would refuse to talk about any mention of it or his past to anyone that isn’t Kirby/Bandee, or Leongar/Clawroline I think…

Galacta Knight/Morpho Knight: 

Not entirely sure how to incorporate either of them into my au/canon properly… kind of thinking about incorporating Meta Knight fighting Galacta [meta knightmare ultra], and Galacta’s… very brief appearance in star allies. though I do admit, I see Galacta Knight being very good friends with the twins, especially Lula.

Elline:

…I forgot she existed. No one ever talks about her LMAO idk shes just there. ive played very little of rainbow curse and that was years ago, so.

[persephoneprice]

Wow, who might I force you to talk about? (Felix Ravinstill) I can’t even imagine? (Felix) I don’t have my sideblog url in the corner to help me out. (Felix)

for this ask game! abyssal wants to talk abt felix? that’s crazy. wouldn’t have expected this ask from you at all!

my first impression

i’m going to be honest- when i first read the book i don’t think felix even registered in my radar.

my impression now

that is one disaster of a man. i wish abyssal would hurt him more (affectionately). <3

favorite thing about the character

strictly in canon? the fact that he’s related to the president. sorry felix, it is the most interesting thing about you.

in the real canon (abyssal’s ravinstill extended universe)? his relationship with festus & artemisia.

rip felix, sorry that the most interesting thing abt you is ur relationship to others…

least favorite thing

i feel like he could have done more for dill! i don’t think he was like. an outstanding mentor.

favorite line/scene

Well, I might as well use what little I have. It’s hers,” Felix said, and punched something into his communicuff.”

favorite interaction that character has with another

Cars were waiting to carry them back to the Academy, and Coriolanus found himself with Felix and Dean Highbottom. The two seemed to know each other socially, and they largely ignored Coriolanus while they caught up on gossip.

a character that i wish that character would interact with more

festus creed

i actually would be very interested in seeing him interact with dean highbottom more. give me the details of their gossip session!!

another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character

this one i’m struggling with for felix! who is felix like?

okay, fuck it. this is going to sound insane but why is he lowkey giving aaron burr from hamilton to me.

a headcanon about that character

i cannot think of a single headcanon that you would not already know so i’ll just share my fav-

his beef with livia cardew <3

a song that reminds me of that character

noah kahan’s unreleased song the great divide.

an unpopular opinion about that character

idk if this counts as an unpopular opinion or what, but i think he probably would be judgy towards pippa abt the cannibalism :/

favorite picture

i hope u don’t mind me sharing this

because what the fuck is going on

[fincalinde]

I’ve been rereading it’s worth it every time and that + the post abt mxy reminded me of how much I like your take on what happened! the way that… it’s not malicious on mxy’s part and at first he doesn’t even seem to realize how obvious he’s being, but he does eventually escalate to actual, unwelcome, come-ons towards jgy (the first scene when he checks on him and gives him heart eyes vs the “I’m yours” scene, is what I’m thinking here)

Thanks so much! I put a lot of thought into making MXY canon consistent, and I really wanted to capture how desperately vulnerable he is without minimising his behaviour. And off the back of this I've written an entire post about JGY and MXY exploring how JGY chooses to handle the MXY issue in canon, so here goes.

The relationship between JGY and MXY is a complicated one. JGY is the victim of MXY's inappropriate behaviour, but this isn't what could be considered a traditional perpetrator-victim dynamic. MXY is younger, less experienced, less powerful, and has at least one unspecified mental health condition. Even before JGY becomes clan leader, he has authority over MXY even if simply by virtue of being MXY's elder and quasi-mentor—and once JGY actually is clan leader, he literally has the power of life and death over MXY.

Before JGY is clan leader, he's in a much more awkward position because any harassment he receives from MXY either isn't going to be believed or no one is going to do anything about it. JGS isn't going to step in to protect JGY from the brother who is at Golden Carp Tower literally to reinforce how easily he can be replaced. It makes sense if JGY is, if not necessarily fending off open advances at this stage, then at least navigating treacherous waters. MXY is in awe of him and can't physically overpower him, but JGY is still forced to live with him.

Once JGY is clan leader, he has far more options. It's telling that he doesn't quietly dispose of MXY—which he could easily do. I'm actually going to digress and talk about JGY's many other illegitimate siblings for a moment, because I never really see them brought up and we know they are plentiful and many of them have perfectly respectable mothers. Like MXY, the very fact of their existence is absolutely a threat.

We get one extremely unreliable indication in the text that JGY might have killed off some of his other half-siblings. During the scene in which everyone turns on him and starts shouting baseless slander, one of the claims thrown out is that before he had his father killed he spent a couple of years quietly eliminating his various illegitimate and unacknowledged half-siblings. I don't for a moment think this is true or that we are intended to think this is true, considering other claims include JGY, a prostitute's son, only rising to power by sucking up to NMJ and LXC; and JGY deliberately orchestrating XXC's death for having the temerity to politely reject an invitation to join the Jin at a time when it was led by JGS.

So obviously this is nonsense. But, OK, it's not as though it's completely implausible that JGY might have wanted his half-siblings out of the way. He didn't intend for JZX to die but he certainly didn't hesitate to put him in danger. Let's take the least generous read possible and imagine that this demonstrably false gossip has a seed of truth: once he comes to power, JGY begins to quietly eliminate his other half-siblings to ensure no rivals emerge. We know JGY is ruthless. It makes sense that he'd be taking precautions.

But we also know JGY is not solely ruthless, and that he is also generous and loyal and repays his debts in his own fashion. Maybe he did bump off half-siblings out of fear that his enemies could rally behind one of them. But he doesn't have QS quietly killed, even though it would solve his incest problem, because he is so profoundly grateful that she treats him with respect and love and makes nothing of his background. And, more interestingly, he doesn't have MXY quietly killed either.

JGY is an efficient and capable man, but he has a habit of putting people who know just a little too much in out of the way places where he doesn't necessarily have to think about them but they remain as loose ends. I'm not necessarily saying my read is that JGY was definitely systematically killing off his siblings over the years, but I do think it's something he is in theory capable of (I support him), so the fact that MXY is kicked out without subsequently having a terrible and terribly convenient accident is notable. It's also consistent with his habit of not following through completely on eliminating risk of exposure (however small) if he feels affection and/or gratitude towards someone. See: NMJ, XY, QS, Sisi, etc.

I think it shows almost supernatural forbearance that MXY is deposited back at Mo Manor. He really could so easily have been killed. He knows about the Jin's experimentations in demonic cultivation, which makes him a liability, and has even seen WWX's notes. If JGY were really as ruthlessly pragmatic as so many in fandom seem to think, MXY would have died in a convenient accident not long after arriving back at Mo Manor. The only explanation is that JGY is genuinely fond of MXY, and in classic JGY fashion this means putting MXY in a miserable situation that's out of sight and out of mind so JGY can continue to flatter himself that he didn't kill him.

Jia + Interactions

These are kind of under the implication of either 1: this is after atsv and all is well again or 2: the conflict of atsv never occurred and theyre all friends and miguel is just a tired overworked dad (this one preferably I jus want them to all be friends is this SO hard to ask)

pav:

- actually really good friends

- they trauma bonded over that one time hb bought chinese food (fondly, or not, remembered as The Incident)

- Verging into annoying little brother and equally annoying older sis territory

- Really really snarky that it might be bullying atp

- I like to think pav is a little nosy esp w drama (did u see the way he was w gwen and miles like cmon 😞) so jia would gossip a lil. she tries to not but eeeuyghhhhh maybe just this once [it was in fact not just this once]

- because! he's a nosy little fella i think he'd enjoy watching some dramas w rlly outrageous plot lines. jia enables by sending him reccomendations so he can watch w gayatri ajajaj

- I drew this once but in anomaly hunter au pav constantly pesters jia for credits so he can buy food cause he spends it on knives AHSBJAS

- bullies him but gets bullied back

gwenny:

- I have no idea on how jia would fit into the timeline of events within the canon lore hence the preferred implication of how atsv conflict never happened and I can make shit up HAHDHWHS but gwen was the offical spider to bought jia into the hq

- I made a comic abt this WAY EARLY of making jia but it was abt miguel and his slow ass descending platform LOLOL but yea they kept in touch

- they used to be that polite friendly but slowly got more unhinged over time

- flicks web balls/rubber bands(??) at the other

- share similar swinging patterns by jia is a bit more sporadic and leans towards a parkourish style while gwens likeee gymnastics?? I forogor the word

- bullies her for fun abt miles

kilometers:

- oh ☹️☹️

- ik i literally said that these are under the impression of the events of atsv not occurring but if jia ever saw miles' like full story (from itsv to atsv) she honest to god would've been like ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

- this is literally just me projecting but if y'all remember the scene in itsv where aaron found out miles identity AND THE SCENE WHERE HE LOOKS SO FUCKIN SCARED OF HIS UNC AND LOOKED SO SMALL CAUSE HES (13??14?? I forgot) and I think the only thing she would've said is just

- he's just a kid ☹️

- he was just a boy ☹️☹️☹️

- She would've been really sad and he makes her really sad cause he was so young

- her son btw ‼️‼️

- also bullies him abt gwen

miguelito:

- sheeeee doesn't exactly respect him as much as she should but she also doesn't care enough to disrespect him straight up??

- it's more bc the first impressions of him has always been very unserious so she doesn't take him very seriously 😭

- Especially after watching him descend so incredibly painfully slow on his little elevator platform

- gen z employee and tired boss vibes

- She calls him bossman which he's like 🗿stop calling me that but she's just 😆 idcccc

- Also calls him 老大 for fun too and it basically means like,,,boss or head honcho or top dog or something along the lines idk how to translate it

- only reason she's seen around him is cause she likes lyla and thinks she's cute

[eskawrites]

ur so right about robins high school band shenanigans. i want it to be revealed that actually robin has a secret double life and has all this insane band drama happening all off screen that none of the other characters know about. i want her to casually make an offhand comment abt like stephanie guthrie-from-band burning jacob swartz-from-band's music notes in the parkinglot of their local denny's at 4am. like "oh yeah thats big trombone steven who got into a fist fight with dave because he one time stuffed wet cheetos down his clarinet during practice"

this is basically canon to me lmao you can't be in band and not have a lot of secondhand drama. and tbh i think given that her primary group of friends has drama that's, like, my gf was raised in a secret government lab and i went missing in an alternate dimension for a week and my best friend was killed by a monster while i lost my virginity to a boy i didn't even really like that much, she'd probably get a lot of stress relief out of listening to band kids' still-wild-but-drastically-lower-stakes teen drama

(can you imagine if that ever came into play, though? like in the same vein of robin rambling about the girl on her soccer team getting hurt, she starts reeling off band room gossip and ends up unintentionally spilling some Plot Critical Fact about a classmate or teacher or something)

[andro-dino]

shogun steel main gang hcs bc I’m thinking about them atm and how much I love them

- I’ve said this a billion times before but I’ll keep saying it until I die, they are very affectionate with each other. Of course, it depends on the specific people and how their feeling at certain times, but they will take any opportunity to cuddle or hold hands or just generally have some kind of contact with each other for comfort. idc if this is ooc canon is what I make of it

- Ren and kite bonding over being petty third wheels to Zyro and Shinobu is an idea that is so important to me you have no idea. They will argue with each other and be dumb any other time but instantly bond over hating on those two being losers

- This is one of my hyper specific projection moments but ren specifically any time she sees them being remotely affectionate to each other at all will immediately turn to the nearest person and go “get a load of these guys”

- underrated duo dynamic is ren and takanosuke being wlw mlm rivals/besties/gossip buddies. you just know they share the most scalding of tea while training with each other

- actually I just really appreciate their dynamic as a whole. they’re both very ambitious and headstrong bladers who are constantly working their hardest to grow and improve and I think they’d really bring out the best in each other. They have some great friendly banter thrown in there too. neither of them are afraid to throw in some really funny disses

- maru is such a creechur I really cannot appreciate that enough. she has adopted everyone as a big sibling and there’s nothing they can do to stop it, she just perched on their shoulder one day and there was nothing they could do to stop it

- the only exception to this is with kite and eight, because eight and maru are like two cats who don’t like each other being mutually stanced up and staring each other down in anticipation for one of them to pounce

- eight once was showing off a bunch of skateboard tricks and Zyro was like “psh that’s easy I could do that” and immediately ate shit and died and eight laughed at him for hours and has never let him live it down since

- kite likes to pretend he doesn’t care about any of them but takes really careful notice of their likes and dislikes and makes sure to accommodate for everyone when he can and gives them really banger gifts on special occasions but frames it as him being like “I know I know I can make and find such amazing things that’s just how it is for mr perfect” and the others are like “kite holy shit this is so kind of you thank you so much????” and he tries really really hard to pretend like he doesn’t really enjoy hearing that

- sakyo does not know how to interact with any of the main gang on his own outside of beyblade but he and taka are a package deal so he tends to tag along whenever takanosuke hangs out with any of them and he’s like the awkward cousin at a family party who just sits in the corner silently bc he doesn’t know how to approach anyone

- I think it would be funny if eight randomly started hanging out with him in that way that little kids do when they just decide they like you all of a sudden and sakyo just has no idea how to deal with that but ig he’s got a snarky little dude hanging out with him now and asking if he’s got any games on his phone

- benkei does not hide the fact that ren is his favorite child. he loves all of his kids dearly but ren is his daughter and hes very attached because he sees a lot of himself in her and wants her to be less dumb than he was when he was younger (may or may not be drawing a comic with this exact premise atm)

- this one’s kind of off track but I’ve thought abt it a lot in the past and started thinking abt it again. Kenta takes a shining to sakyo and kinda takes a bit of a mentor role over him accidentally and at some point Sakyo’s like “you act like you’re so much older than me but our age gap isn’t even that big (bc I hc sakyo as like 15-16 and ss Kenta as 18-19)” and Kenta’s like “well yeah but im the adult here?? I kinda just figured???” idk it’s just a neat dynamic I like a lot

- Shinobu and Ren go clothes shopping together. Ren likes spending Shinobu’s money and they bond over what they like, stuff they could share if they wanted to, and also shit talking stuff they think is ugly

- all of them get in really stupid arguments over the dumbest things. they’ve had big group debates over which flavor of ice cream is the best or whether or not cilantro tastes like soap

that is all for now they r very important to me thank you and goodnight

[yuukei-yikes]

you are so right about takane and kano being besties. they are late night gossip buddies!!!!!! any contradicting canon can rip that from my cold dead hands

they would 100% goofingly share the worst hot takes with each other as some kinda game. or like. point at something random and be like "i need your strongest opinion on this right now." just…. the friendship vibe that i can only succinctly sum up as "late night gossip buddies"

and personally i feel like post-str takane would probably be the person kano would be most comfortable with confiding in because she's just the right ratio of outsider-to-insider. i mean yobanashi deceive is basically just kano traumadumping to ene right lol

LIKE FOR REAL!!!! EXACTLY!!!! SRRY IN MY LAST ASK I ALREADY WENT OVER KANO&TAKANE PARALLELS BUT MAN THEYRE EVERYTHING TO ME THEY ARE BEST FRIENDS!!!! chaos duo for real.

kano making all these parallels. knowing takane is just like him fr because she's also playing a role, she's got the same kind of twisted personality, how out of all people he chooses HER to open up to for the first time, says he's not looking to make her dislike him, says he's jealous of her ability to doubt people & her sense of self, also in the novel route THEY DIE TOGETHER....

he sees himself in her and how he'd like to be. like theyre so so SO similar. like him she is playing a role yet takane manages to know who she is and what she wants or likes or hates. like him she's also someone who's lost their most precious person yet manages to move forward and keep going without resenting anyone and in fact going out of her way to help someone else. kano is so insanely jealous of it all💗

sorry. i will go insane about takane AGAIN i literally just did in the other ask but teehee MORE

takane's resilience, determination and will to live and help and love and forgive despite everything always gets me. she's so warm and loving *punches wall* its why i love her so much and also why i hate second manga route so much. takane would never kill herself. shoves this in ur face

like that's why takane gets opening eyes in the first place!!!!! opening eyes was the ability that was allowing azami to appear before others inside the daze and once she gives it to takane, azami is at the brink of disappearance (holds head remembering azami keeps giving out her snakes as a way to save as much people as possible even if it means dying BUT THATS NOT WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT) but this translates into takane as well. like even if she is dead she wants to be out here. she will make a place for herself. takane has the will to live, and will always make it out of anywhere as long as she's got herself, even if she's alone. she literally projects herself into existence even when dead thats how damn stubborn she is. determined to tell haruka her feelings as SOON as she realises them without thinking of what that means for their relationship because that's just not her priority, her priority is to let him know in the first place. AUUUGGHH. TAKANE BEST CHARACTER EVER I LOVE U TAKANE also why harutaka is so awesome because it's cute that out of everyone its TAKANE with all these characteristics who gets the love story arc and then actually manages to have a happy ending with someone as loving and caring as haruka!!! and it goes both ways!! except im not talking abt haruka so!!! sniff sniff... str harutaka... (holds head)

erm. yeah. anyways. sorry for going crazy again. i just love takane💗 LITERALLY I JUSY MAKE EVERYTHING ABT HARUTAKA SORRY OK RIGHT KANOBACK TO KANO

i think kano is the kind to notice all these things and be like Man. wtf. but like i said!!! i hate the antagonistic light of it. i know kano's an ass and thats sorta the point, but isn't he like. like the shit he does to takane and the way he talks of her from his pov grazes the unlikable. because we all love piece of shit morally gray characters like kano like i LOVE kano, he's such an interesting character and i love all the nuance u need when consuming kagepro and seeing everything he does but shit likethe way he acts with takane goes a little over the line to me bc it has no real basis other than angry at takane by proxy to shintaro and/or the jealousy (but then again its not like the jealousy is made into such a big deal in the first place and its just a passing comment) like it just seems unfair and uncalled for. like he's REALLY taking it out on her and then played as a joke.

SO TO ME. KANO HELPING TAKANE WITH HER BODY MEANS A LOT. he can go cry outside LATER. to me that is his way of apologizing too. in his little twisted way!!! like not only is here ur body but i will hold you and dry you and get you clothes and some food and water. takane allowing someone to pick her up and see her when vulnerable and kano helping someone his sister adored it just rewires my brain. theyre both silent thru it all but make it through. AUUUGGHHHH IT WOULDVE BEEN SO GOOOOD

AND YEAH EVERYTHING U SAID 10000%% takane being the perfect ratio outsider to insider is SUCH A PERFECT WAY TO PUT IT AUUGGHH also gossip buddies prank masterminds BEST. FRIENDS. FOREVER. for real!!!!

[dykevanny]

you asked for asks so-

if you could make one headcanon for each of the major characters in the current FNAF story canon, what would they be?

Each of them…… well here’s some hcs that are real to me :3

I think will and mike are both gay . I think thats a fun headcanon.. except will is super repressed about it and kind of takes out his internalized homophobia on mike? Another complication in their relationship tou know. Mike sorted out all his feelings on his sexuality in his early 20s before sl luckily but still…..you knoww

The ghost kids still act like kids in the animatronics, they don’t trust any adults because of what happened to them. They’re real nice to kids though hehe

the ghosts in general can shift their form a little but have a consistent basic form... Usually a dark, vague form with a bright color to mark eyes/details. For example william as glitchtrap in princess quest.

scrap baby fixed herself up but intentionally left her hair looking a little crazy, she likes it better that way.

alsoooo Charlie in life had a huge interest in clowns (which is why security puppet looks like one) and that rubbed off on Liz a lot :3 hence why Liz liked circus baby so much..

crying child/Evan taught himself to sew to fix his plushies and clothes,, he never wanted to bother mrs afton about it.

mike has sharp canines . Like a fox!!

Henry is also gay fun fact he’s a single dad and adopted Charlie !! He’s also a bear trust me trust me

puppet and mangle are FRIENDS traust meeeeee they hang out in pup’s box sometimes. Spaghetti besties..

Ennard/molten freddy likes collecting old animatronic heads to use as masks for funsies. <3

vanessa . I’ve talked about my hcs for her . But here’s one…. She’s always wanted to make a video game!! She has a passion + special interest in coding and has al;ways loved the way you can tell stories through games. Unfortunately she didn’t get the time to once will started possessing her. She’s working on a game to sort of. Process everything thats happened.

Gregory has discovered post-sb that he likes fashion a lot :3 Cassie inspired this a little

cassie has learned a lot abt robotics in her time post-elevator ending,, she single-handedly fixed the glams and helps maintain the mimic

mimic……i have rewritten it in my head. But i think it has a soft spot for children as a result of being made as David’s companion. Also that guy uses it/it’s i think

roxanne wolf transgender.they used to have foxy but then foxy was like yarghh. I am not a guy. So they rebranded her completely . Hrt hit so hard she’s a wolf now.

glambon was a bit of a gossip i think :)

ummm.also the glams (besides Monty) have faux fur so they’re fluffy…

[misfit-alley]

@froggods YES HI HELLO welcome to our insane rambles abt. (ot3 name undecided lmao) !!!!!

so like. here’s the thing. logically I understand that blake and seven would kill each other dead before ever entering into anything even remotely romantic !!!! logically this is true and I accept it. HOWEVER !!!!! in my heart !!!! all of a sudden, the super dramatic love triangle of ~who will dolly choose?~ that botb gossip loves to focus on is suddenly like…. well surely they have to have chosen by now right? 🤨 Surely there’s no reason for seven to still be hanging around dolly and blake if his ex chose someone else ?? and blake def wouldn’t be just sticking around the reunited lovers except to hassle them if there wasn’t smth still going on right ???? What’s Going On Here???

all while meanwhile the ACTUAL timeline of the relationship is like. “no dolly you can’t date both of us 🙄 we literally hate each other 😠” -> “okay yes FINE you can date both of us 🙄 but No we can’t all go on a date at the same time that’s Weird!! we still hate each other!! 😤 just choose one and go on the other date later” -> “yeah sure I guess we can all three just go together occasionally even tho we don’t want to !!! ��� but it’ll be cheaper if we do it all at once vs u doing the same thing twice every time” -> “are u guys ready to go yet or what 🤨 we literally have a reservation”

blake is forever and a day a lil shithead and I know this in my heart so even after he figures out that him and seven are def also dating Each Other and not just dolly (and goes through the stages of grief abt it) he just. Doesn’t Mention It. even tho he’s def relishing it, he just gets this lil knowing smirk abt it and enjoys seven’s anguish when he Does in fact figure it out later. u know that “you think I’m gooorgeous~ you want to kiiiss me~” scene from miss congeniality? blake @ seven (and he’s right !!!)

obvs any Actual details would have to wait until we know more abt blake’s romance (considering rn it feels v “at least we’ll always have botb </3” and so until proven otherwise it’s canon him and dolly fail at doing long distance, break up for a year or two and then reunite and stick together like glue forever) BUT. until then. love triangle of bitches who hate each other turning into triad of bitches who lovingly annoy tf out of each other my beloved……

oh and also this

[ofherlionheart]

📕📗📘📙📖📚

daaamn okay let’s do this!!

in my head there’s a companion piece to like the sun that’s a mai POV that bops back and forth in time to explore her relationships with ty lee and azula and zuko. also largely abt her sense of sexuality and gender, particularly as 1. someone who meets/exceeds basically every fire nation beauty standard and 2. as the spitting image of her mother (who she does not have a gr8 relationship with). mailee endgame of coooourse

like the sun sequel, wherein zuko becomes izumi’s father. how, u ask? he’s doing his blue spirit thing when he shouldn’t be and he comes across a mother and her newborn (i named her izumi, mama says, because i discovered i was carrying her when visiting the spring at the temple); the mother dies, z can’t save her, but he can’t just leave the baby. how hard can it be to take care of a child, anyway? he brings izumi back to the palace and is like, can i get a wet nurse? and everyone LOSES their shit. ‘fire lord zuko how did u end up in possession of a baby?’ ‘she’s mine,’ he says and refuses to elaborate. the staff finds a wet nurse and gossip starts flying around, all omg the fire lord had a secret baby mama somewhere. when sokka first hears abt izumi he freaks the fck out — not b/c he thinks z had an affair (the thought doesn’t even cross his mind), but b/c he’s like 1. this baby is now a part of z’s life, this is immutable fact 2. i am part of z’s life 3. omfg i’m supposed to be part of the baby’s life?? that’s a degree of commitment and faith in the future that I DONT KNOW HOW TO PROCESS. like a nerd sokka doesn’t tell z any of this. shenanigans and misunderstanding as z embraces fatherhood super enthusiastically and sokka’s brain is short-circuiting and constantly being witness to all these dadko moments

percy/annabeth from pjo boarding school summer-before-senior-year-college-tour-roadtrip au!! bounces between the summer and the journey it took for them to become friends and end up on this roadtrip. annabeth POV, the slow realization that there’s something more to life than, like, grades and good colleges and career success. 

daichi/suga canon divergent haikyuu fic: daichi has always inspired suga to work harder; suga has always inspired daichi to be more adventurous. so daichi applies to a few unis in tokyo (gasp! so far from miyagi!) and is super excited to tell suga abt it (ofc suga applied to tokyo unis, he’s pretty smart and has always talked abt leaving miyagi for university) but suga beats him to the punch … he got the same scholarship as shimizu to go to america for college. daichi is proud of him! anyway college college blah blah one night daichi’s grabbing drinks w/ noya and suga’s instagram comes up, daichi says something abt that american boy who keeps showing up in suga’s posts and noya’s like oh yeah his boyfriend. daichi: ????? noya: yah dude didja not know? anyway suga can’t be super open abt it on social media b/c he’ll lose his scholarship if they find out he’s queer. blah blah daichi goes to visit suga in america during a break at school and he meets the boyfriend and realizes his feelings about his best friend have evolved blah blaaaah idk how this one ends lmfao. i mean ik there would be smooching but that’s the extent of the detail i have in my head

sneak preview to a prompt ask game drabble but yet ANOTHER zukka modern au 🤪 this time z and s meet in brazil while they’re both doing research out of the same university. sorry i keep making z and s absolute nerds?? anyway there’s beach volleyball incredible food amazing music. but all international flings between foreigners must end eventually. no plot here rly just vibes

this one is mostly a joke, buuuuuut haikyuu au wherein oikawa fcks up his knee in HS and has the deepest mope about losing volleyball. accidentally gets really into kdramas while serially moping, becomes proficient in korean thru that. one weekend he’s visiting tokyo with hanamaki and matsukawa and when they’re at a mall oikawa’s pounced on by a scout who’s like, hey wanna be an korean idol? oikawa’s like haha maki didn’t i always tell you i was so beautiful and mastukawa’s like he’s fluent in korean and hanamaki’s like he practices cute expressions in the mirror all the time and duets pretty good with his showerhead. scout leaves his business card, oikawa’s like ‘u guys r so mean for making fun of me like that’ and they’re like lmfao as if u could actual become an idol. oikawa: TARGET. LOCKED. he’s remembered how to work his ass off again. anyway fic would start like, 4 years after his group’s debut, they’re on tour in the united states where iwaizumi is oh-so-conveniently doing college. ‘iwa-chan your skin got so much darker!’ ‘you look fckn translucent’ ‘i’ll risk getting a little tan only for you, iwa-chan’

Put “📓” or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I’ll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven’t written but daydream about.

[rintarous]

since ur angsty text BROKE my tiny heart (which it was rlly good btw good job 👏) how about some cuddling hcs with ur favorite bnha boys 🥺👉👈

a/n: i hope this fixes ur broken heart that i caused 😔 i got too carried away with kiri bc kiri rights kiri bEST BOY p.s kaminari’s hc turned into PG 13 im sorry 😔

bakugo katsuki:

this mf right here

he’s that rough cuddler

cs mans never cuddled in his LIFE

and also the fact he’s a big ass tsundere

he’d probably give in once you hit the puppy eyes on him

which he can’t resist btw even if he won’t admit it

at first he’d be literally so stiff like kirishima’s quirk

and grunts every now and then

but as your cuddle sessions turned into weekly sessions which then turns into daily sessions,,,

he’d grow use to it and be the softest human alive

probably takes it up a notch and tell you to just lie down on his chest instead of being cuddled up to his side

!! HE’S BIG ON RUBBING CIRCLES ON YOUR SKIN !!

like at some point in your cuddle sesh, expect this boi to rub circles on your back, your sides, ANYWHERE HE CAN GET HIS HANDS ON

which lulls you to sleep if you’re being honest ,,,

he’d be like: huh??? once you stop babbling about your day

and he looks down at you to find you sleeping peacefully

he has this satisfied smirk on his face

and don’t tell anyone but he steals a kiss every once in a while when he knows youre knocked out cold

he doesnt want you to know he’s just too soft for you and tease the living daylights out of him 

uwu 

todoroki shoto:

another mf who can’t cuddle to save a life

as someone who,,,, didn’t experience much affection at all

he’d be clueless on what to do

so i believe he’d be the small spoon when you two just started cuddling

mans would literally FREEZE in your arms, not knowing what to do in this position

but he really likes the feeling of his hair being brushed away

he’s just a kitty stuck in a human body alright !!!

he’s kinda stoic and not keen into showing emotions but you can feel the love radiating off of him

and once he finds the courage, he looks up at you saying “can i try being the big spoon?”

AND UR HEART DID FLIPS 

ur brain: ADSJKHDADUAHDAJAKJA

and just like bakugo, he’d be stiff and doesnt know what to do

as he is pretty dense at everything 

and you just tell him to relax and be comfortable at what hes doing

and sooner or later, he’d get the hang of it

when it’s cold outside, you cuddle to his left side

and when it’s hot, to his right side

most of the time tho, you’d cuddle up at his right side

cs you like it cold 

overall, he’d be an okay cuddler

and because of this, you prefer to be the big spoon

A+ for effort tho 

uwu

kirishima eijiro:

AH YES KIRISHIMA THE BEST BOY

unlike the other 2, this dude right here,,,

god at cuddling

knows his shit!!!!!!

MY MAN WOULD BE SO SOFT AND UWU

YOU’D PROBABLY WANT TO LIVE IN HIS ARMS FOREVER

even if you didn’t ask, he’d throw his arm over your shoulder casually no cap no cap

then he’d pull you to his side 

since he’s naturally a warm person so sooner or later you’d lean to his side

till your cheek is now squished against his side

which makes him go uwu mode

and almost stranggle you cs you were too cute 🥺

i swear im a bakugo stan-

kiri is just,, the manliest of the manly 

n e way 

he’s the type to trap you in his arms

if that doesnt say anything to u idk man 

he’s so loving that you might start crying whenever u think about this man

he’s the type to throw in that puppy eyes whenever you leave 

expect to cuddle with him literally when classes end

!!! THE TYPE TO SAY/WHISPER SWEET SHIT WHILE YOU CUDDLE!!!!

FUCK DUDE I’D CUDDLE WITH KIRI ANY TIME ANY DAY 

just a natural sweet sweet boi 🥺

uwu

midoriya izuku:

izuwu here, probably thinks he knows what hes doing

but in reality he doesnt know what the fuck hes doing

he probably did his research about cuddling and all that shit the moment he got in a relationship with you

but thats okay!!! cs its the thought that counts !!! lmfao

he’s painfully stiff and tries really hard to make you comfortable

making you giggle 

cs izuku is just the cutest bean ever

he’d probably make that face when he was moving his head up and down when he was staring at his computer when he was a kid unironically as he cuddles you

“izuku, just relax!!!” you laughed at his distressed state 

“ehehehehe…. how”

so you end up being the big spoon

showing him how it’s done

and izuku just wanted to hide embarrassment cs he didn’t learn shit abt the stuff he’s been reading online 

he’s open to suggestions tho!!!

so once you hold him like the baby he is,,,

he gradually gets the jist of cuddling and wants to try it for himself

in his head: man being cuddled is way better 🥺

you find that he’s a bit comfortable now 

so every once in a while, he’d cuddle you but most of the time its you who cuddles him

but thats okay!! cs thats izuku who ur cuddling

and everything is just fine with you if its izuku

uwu

kaminari denki:

another dude who knows wtf he’s doing

mostly bc he experienced this before hand

since denki is kinda flirty,,,,, he’d put his hand under your shirt

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

naturally a good cuddler

plus you get to charge your phone when you’re with him LMFAO

be careful when he sneezes tho,,,,

prepared to be shocked,, 

literally

anyway

cuddles with him would usually mean endless gossip about anything or anyone 

when he’s feeling it he’d put his hand on your chest

with no malice or whatever, he’s just that type of dude to just hold ur bo*b

might give it a squeeze if he’s feeling brave LMAO

but mans doesnt mean any harm

it’s just he cant keep his hands to himself KJADSHAJHDJKA

since he’s pretty open about your relationship,,,

he’d cuddle with you in the common room

making everyone passing by lowkey gag 

“get a damn room” bakugo grumbles as he goes to the kitchen

ENDLESS SIDE KISSES

my man kaminari cant live without physical affection y’all

and he’d probably brush ur hair away too damn what a man

uwu

tamaki amajiki: 

PROTECT THIS LIL SHIT !!!!!

cuddling with tamaki would be a damn miracle

cs it happened rarely

due to his,,,,, nervousness and shit

even asking you out almost made him pass out

if it werent for mirio and neijire, you two would never become canon at all

since he’s a nervous bub,, expect to be the big spoon

which is a good thing tbh cs all you wanna do is PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS

he’d intertwine your hands together and probably do that one face: (￣～￣)

but its okay!! cs it means progress amirite!!!!!

this boi mustve felt so sorry to you cs he’s the man in the relationship right?? so he gotta be the big spoon

so like overtime he’d muster all the courage he had left and ask to be the big spoon

you can literally feel him shake from the other side of the room when he asked you so quietly

“c-can i…. t-try to be the…….. ᵇᶦᵍ ˢᵖᵒᵒⁿ“

AND WHEN I SAID YOU SCARED HIM SHITLESS WHEN YOU LITERALLY JUMPED IN HIS ARMS

YOU SCARED HIM SHITLESS

again,, he almost passes out when he barely catches you

so you two ended up cuddling on the floor

buT IF IT MEANT TAMAKI BEING THE BIG SPOON,, YOU’LL TAKE ANYTHING 

you can still feel him shake under you

but you squeeze his hand around you reassuringly and kiss his cheek

“you’re doing so well my baby”

and my dude turns into a dark shade of red

“t-thanks?”

uwu

fanfic recommendations

for @kittensocute bc i heard “atsukita” and “iwaoi” in reference to fanfiction and i am There

i took your “i love slow burn or slow build fics... so i like relatively shorter burn fics (20-30k). If its a 10k oneshot slow burn hELL SIGN ME UP” and absolutely ran with it.

i listed my fav iwaoi fics (17) with a longer word count (longest is 80k) that are all mostly either canon compliant or divergent with only two straight up AUs. none of them feature heavy nsfw content and most if not all are tagged as friends to lovers lmao. feel free to read the my thoughts or just go into them blind!! and they’re all in order of how much I absolutely adore them :^)

now atsukita is not a big ship *sobs* but here are some of my favorite fics (7) of them! a lot of them are shorter bc i guess that’s just. what happens when it’s a small ship LOL. 

the formatting in this is fucked if you open it from ur dash but if it’s on my actual blog it should be fine!

Iwaoi

the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle

Word count: 66k

thoughts: my absolute absolute absolute favorite iwaoi fic. the characterization, the fact that oikawa’s a bastard but because he and iwaizumi are older (late 20s i believe), it feels more realistic and sad rather than oikawa being a bitch for the sake of it. spoiler alert it’s slow burn and pining and mostly oikawa not realizing his feelings. this world building is pretty cool bc iwaizumi is the professional player while oikawa is an entomology professor! also i love non-linear narratives bc of This fic. there’s mutual pining in this fic but it’s really really really subtle to the point where you dont even know if oikawa likes iwa. this made me cry like twice.

sunset towns

Word count: 33k

Summary: In the summer of 2020, Oikawa Tooru returns home from his first successful stint as captain of Japan’s national volleyball team. In one hand, he holds the undisputed weight of an Olympic medal, and in the other, his unresolved feelings for a childhood best friend.

thoughts: the tone in this is So similar to the courtship ritual that I liken this as an alternate story even though it’s still oikawa’s pov. professional player oikawa and regular guy iwaizumi and oikawa is just. bumming around at iwaizumi’s place and naturally he messes up but things happen.

told before and told again

word count: 4k

thoughts: i looked through literally all the tags i could’ve thought of for this and nearly cried when i found it agian. outsider POV!!

In damp earth my body

Word count: 15k

Summary: Onscreen, the nation’s favorite setter has arranged himself so that he’s bowing, forehead pressed to the court, like he’s thanking everyone for their kindness thus far, like he’s asking for forgiveness. Hajime thinks: shit, it’s really happening

thoughts: oikawa retires and moves in with iwaizumi and they blur the line between roommates/best friends and being fwb. this is an iwaizumi pov and the pining is obvious on his end. as a iwa stan the tone made me feel weird bc it makes it seem like iwa cares more abt oikawa than he cares abt himself but. its a good fic

i grew up, you grew down

word count: 19k

thoughts: this is also SO funny bc basically oikawa retires and moves in with iwaizumi and becomes his stay at home wife and a bunch of shit happens like people think that oikawa is dating ushijima and oikawa basically loses it every time. here’s one of my favorite quotes:

“Oikawa also bought a new ultra-strength vacuum cleaner he’d decided to name Ushiwaka out of sheer spite, because it sucked all the air right out of the room. Iwa-chan didn’t think the joke was that funny when Tooru told him, which was frankly very hurtful and insensitive.”

Mint

Word count: 19k

thoughts: iwaizumi is moving and oikawa planned a perfect last hangout and it goes to shit featuring matsuhana. oikawa pov where he pines more than iwa which is something i can get behind!! and this was written in 2015 and iwa’s moving bc of a sports medicine program so iwaizumi stans know and love him sm ;;

Almost a Stranger

Word count: 16k

thoughts: same premise as mint LOL except they’re on a trip together and there’s more non-linear narrative!! this one is a little more mature in tone than mint i would say (funny how people just like splitting them up and throwing them in different countries huh)

with every second that you could give

Word count: 9k

Summary: The journey of Iwaizumi and Oikawa going for gold.

Quote: He knows they’re too close. Iwaizumi knows it too, and they both decided to move in together anyway.

thoughts: iwaoi roommates and they’re both obviously and really pine-y for each other and everyone sees it but them. srsly. they’re sleeping in the same bed. like my god

Lost in Translation

Word count: 9k

Summary: Because misfortune come in threes, Iwaizumi Hajime starts his Thursday having a screaming fight with Shittykawa, spends his lunch break listening to the UCI women’s volleyball team gossiping about how Ushijima Wakatoshi had gone public about his longtime love affair with Oikawa Tooru, and closes out the day by drunkenly dropping his phone into a sewer grate.

thoughts: so funny. so sososoosso genuinely funny. the tone is so snappy and iwaizumi honestly just sounds like a confused teenager (which he is in this) and it gets extra points for including a lot of american culture that a lot of the other iwaoi college au ones don’t include for like. obvious reasons lol.

Something Borrowed

Word count: 16k

Summary: In which Oikawa and Iwaizumi have always been a foregone conclusion to everyone else, but a massive, unanswered question to one another.

thoughts: iwaoi roommates thats abo but it’s like. mentioned twice. whiny and possessive oikawa makes an appearance in this but it’s done really well

things that change, things that stay the same

Word count: 8k

Summary: Oikawa realizes he’s in love with his best friend; it sucks for a while. (But only for a little while.)

thoughts: high school getting together!! my second iwaoi fic ever and this one is just. so sweet. just an unsure oikawa realizing iwaizumi might be more than someone he wants as a best friend. this fic is honestly really really lovely.

galaxies, within you

Word count: 21k

Summary: Hajime and Tooru move in together at the start of university. Too bad they’re stuck with the two gremlins that haunt their apartment.

thoughts: ok this fic was so funny. theyre uni roommates and matsuhana just come fuck shit up and they all act like idiots together even though they go to different schools. and this really throws me back to university days.

thoughts: pro! oikawa and iwaizumi haven’t been close for a while until oikawa invites iwaizumi to go to the games with him. there’s a lot of frustration and pining and actually talking about feelings (aka iwaizumi losing his mind and getting advice from people like akaashi)

Summary: “Where?” starts Iwaizumi.“ My parent’s old lakehouse, silly, didn’t you hear me the first time?” OR: Oikawa takes Iwaizumi to his lakehouse for two weeks, post-graduation.

thoughts: this was actually my first iwaoi fic which is funny bc the author doesn’t even like oikawa much and i didnt even ship anything in haikyuu before i read this fic and now im in iwaoi hell. oikawa is really frustrating in this in that it’s basically a really good character analysis on how oikawa comes off as a Mean person all the time bc he’s manipulative and there’s some explicit content

Summary: Oikawa was always the brave one. Hajime just followed two paces behind.

thoughts: iwaoi roommates with oikawa admitting his feelings first back when they were in middle school and iwaizumi putting that thought on the backburner until. obviously. things happen.

Desperado

thoughts: one of my favorite aus. it’s all from kyoutani’s perspective and it’s almost so au that they’re original characters (if that makes sense). basically iwaoi matsuhana are ex-grifters except iwaoi are estranged and daishou somehow brings everyone back together. excellent world building and reading the pov from someone not involved with the iwaoi drama was refreshing

thoughts: a mythical kings au that’s just. so pretty. iwaizumi ends up becoming oikawa’s servant for some reason and the world building is a+ because you can feel the trust and frustration from both of them build

my second atsukita fic that rly sent me down atskt hell ;; what is essentially post-break up when atsumu gets signed to msby and he’s just Pining and sad for the most part. but the established relationship pre-break up was written really nicely because it just fits my hc of them just being domestic and atsumu being blatantly head over heels

i read this this morning and it wrecked me. domestic relationship atsukita?? sign me up

mythology au with kita as a regular person and rest of inarizaki as fox spirits! it’s cute and the world building is absolutely lovely but it is an au so they might seem ooc but their core character values are still there

wild blue yonder

literally full of similes and metaphors and it’s more of an abstract read i guess? but it’s so beautiful and soft and this is exactly how i imagine their relationship

atsumu confesses and kita ignores him and it’s a couple years after the fact and it’s mostly just weirdly domestic almost roommate like except for the fact that atsumu makes it clear he likes kita LOL. they’re really in character for this!

pillow talk before atsumu’s first game! the atsumu pov and voice is amazing

if we were both alone

word count: 7k

now this was actually my first atskt fic that sent me down this rare pair hell. it’s an explicit chat fic (both tropes i usually try to avoid) but atsumu types like me (except for the nsfw parts alksfjd) so i guess i like. feel appreciation LMAO.

if you do read like any of these fics pls let me know so we can discuss

Hello Im the hp anon I'm sorry my message made you uncomfortable I didnt mean to i understand your feelings about hp and being in the fandom again im sorry xoxo

I cant remember if it was you who liked lord of the rings but if it was you maybe legolas and aragon seeing each other again years after lotr. If it wasn't you dont worry about it or even if u do like lotr but don't feel like doing it its okay please continue and have a good day

hi anon dont worry abt it at all your message was very nice i just wanted to explain my position on hp stuff in general nothing to do w you :)

i do love lotr well remembered ! my high fantasy is a bit rusty so im wary of writing in tolkien voice but i will give you my general thoughts on them post canon below and hope that you vibe with it. sorry this is so late i forgot it was in my drafts 

this isnt prompt specific but i want to say i love that the movies have legolas keep jumping people who even raise an eyebrow at the shaggy unwashed dude whos apparently gondor’s promised king bc iirc canonically they are not really friends pre fellowship and at most have like met once or twice after aragorn tracks gollum to mirkwood or something. legolas is just very ride or die for people ig?? tracks with his threatening the riders of rohirrim later. we love movie characterisation. really went in on the ‘besties w a heart shaped locket of their initials’ vibe.

also the fact that aragorn and legolas are both royalty avoiding courtly duties in hilariously similar yet distinct ways. like yes they are both on a mission for the greater good so its not like theyre irresponsible leaders (and legolas’ father approved his going) but up until moria legolas is fully like ooh roadtrip with humans and dwarves and shit. fun. while aragorn is brooding immensely about the shadow of responsibility creeping closer to him daily. its just funny to me. legolas is so young in elf time.

after mordor falls i totally believe legolas and aragorn keep in close contact tho. like yes they are busy what with legolas skipping off home to report that he survived the fall of evil and also made some new friends or whatever and aragorn trying to rebuild the ruins of gondor but also i think they probably exchange heartfelt letters across middle earth and legolas visits often. esp in early years bc gotta keep track of those hobbits and their very short little lives. legolas loves inventing Elf Songs ™ off the top of his head that are just odes to his fav human. aragorn not so secretly also loves elvish poetry so he appreciates it.

also this goes for all surviving fellowship members but legolas def has a place of honour in gondor w increasingly dramatic titles & whenever he comes by aragorn will spend his nights with him walking the top walls of minas tirith talking philosophy and history and counsel. legolas is a prince too of course. sometimes they go for fun hikes bc they’re both roamers. no one else thinks it’s fun when the king and his elf bff decide to trek across countries on foot but they enjoy it. (arwen very reasonably prefers horseback and sometimes if he’s coming too they let gimli pretend he’s keeping her company when he’s sick of keeping up with their long legs.)

at certain points legolas is busy wandering for a while and the next time he’s over he has to meet aragorn and arwen’s kids. i think he’d be so obsessed w the concept. like gimli would be the best uncle easily but legolas would be like Woooowww omg little freak children i love them. aragorn look. omg it can talk. cool. he def teaches them mirkwood elvish slang and songs to balance out the rivendell influence. aragorn and arwen both find it funny but lowkey arwen sometimes gossips w him abt it because like . yeah half-human babies Are weird. even hers. at least one of their sons is reciprocally obsessed w legolas and spends his infancy viciously pulling at his hair. eowyn finds this very funny as the other token blonde often in gondor.

i refuse to go into angst so i’m not going to talk abt fellowship deaths but i think legolas stays on middle earth longer than he would have liked to help arwen cope after aragorn bc he is Equally Devastated. esp after the kids go. their last goodbye before legolas and gimli leave at the grey havens will have lasted a very long and sad time i think. very weepy on all sides. but she gets it. legolas can’t lose his last close friend to death.

in a modern human au aragorn n legolas r annoying hiking obsessives & post each other on their stories so much you’d assume they’re dating. legolas fights trolls on aragorn’s socials daily despite aragorn’s attempts to convince him he could not care less. they have matching tattoos of like, constellations on their ankles. aragorn is the only person who can memorise legolas’ ever-changing and very weird coffee orders.
