Charles Choi and his many Kids…

So I've had this headcanon swirling around my head for a while, and it originally came to mind after reading an analysis/theory post on the Lookism subreddit. ((I need to stay off that shit hole 💀💀💀))

Anyways, the post I'm referring to is the theory that Sinu Han, Diego/James Lee, and Johan are either Charles Choi's children or have been trained by him (with the training exception of one, that being Johan). This came about because the OP saw the similarities between Sinu, Diego/James, and Charles' invisible attacks and general speed. Plus Sinu lost his eye at a young age, and the OP implied that it came from training with Charles cuz he’s ruthless or whatever lol.

It's already a popular theory that Johan is Charles' son, so idk if I need to cover that lol. Plus I think there's about a year difference in age between Diego/James, so I think it kinda makes sense like time-wise (I HOPE).

Now, with that sorry explanation out of the way, I can get to my own headcanon AU nonsense💀.

Okay so boom, Elite/Charles was a rolling stone kinda guy ((just like Gapryong lol)) and was laying pipe wherever the fuck and subsequently he has a few kids just...around. Mind you, this all happens before the BROKE ERA™ so he's just fuckin. For my HC, Diego/James would be the oldest and that babymama contacted Elite/Charles and was like: "pls get your son, he's got weird tendencies" ((Cuz I think Jame would’ve been aggy as a kid cuz he's good at everything)).

He [Elite] is like "whatever okay", so he’s raising James and another woman calls him up a year later and she wants him to take Sinu. And Charles is like "whatever okay" and raises Sinu. I like to think that somewhere in those years, Charles gets married, has Crystal, and gets divorced(?).

The BROKE ERA™ is in full swing so when Johan's mama is like: "Raising a kid is mad hard. Can you help me?", Charles is like "NAH" and leaves Johan fatherless.

Like just because Charles is raising his other kids, it doesn’t mean he’s a great dad lol. He's prolly really stressed and trying to get out of the red line that is poverty, and James' ass is NOT helpful lol. James is complaining about how he, and his siblings, should not be living like this or whatever, just know it sends Charles up a wall lol. Like how does this kid already such an inflated ego?! HE'S 10

Chile anyways um, if you got this far, thx. This is a half-formed AU so nothing makes sense lol. Like the timeline is jank and the characters might be OOC. Just bare with me pls.

If ya'll like this AU, I'll keep it going. I just had to get this out. Bye!!!

asking for your selfship headcanons bc we can never have enough of alyzuha and xiaolyssa content in the world <3

OH OH I HAVE TONS SBHJFKMGLH

also this is a mix of alyzuha and xiaolyssa :> also theyre all over the place

i have trouble sleeping so kazuha lays down w me and whispers to me and does the thing where you like draw shapes on smos back until i fall asleep to help me

also he wakes up before me but i always wake up before breakfast is ready bc idk i cant sleep for that long for some reason

as for xiao: he doesnt sleep that often bc of nightmares but he always lays w me (us?? id die if it was kazuha x alyssa x xiao)

i would rather die than be near bugs of any shape of form so both kazuha and xiao take care of them before i even notice (slight flashback to that one time i told vi changsheng would eat bugs for her lmao)

also in both cases i fall first and they fall harder bc heart eyes have you seen them

expanding on the fireworks hc which is here , kazuha would take me to a secluded area and would just watch the stars w me and maybe we would whisper to eachother and just talk all night

also as mentioned in vi's selfships series like twice i think (i keep going back to those theyre so cute) i make bracelets for us three!! theyre all custom made and like different from eachother but also when you look at them you can understand theyre a set if that makes sense

xiao gives us (i decided to go with xiao x alyssa x kazuha shh) like um blessed stone thibsg I FORGOT WHAT THEY WERE CALLED that like alert him when we're in danger so he can come fight w us before we can even call for him bc he worries :(

I SPEAK TO XIAO IN TURKISH JUST TO SEE HIM FLUSTERED LMAO

kazuha tries to teach me japanese at some point (since i think each nation has a language of its own and teyvats language is like a worldwide language as an extra) AND HE FAILS BC I CANT UNDERTSAND IT but i get upset bc i think hes disappointed in me and i try so hard to learn it on my own so i can impress and suprise him one day

xiao: "what language you speak doesn't matter as long as you're mine" USDBFHGIUJOH DIES

kazuha confesses first to me but i confess first to xiao

OKAY SO I WROTE THIS IN A POST OF MINE AND IT WAS EXTREMELY BASED OFF OF ME BUT!! me and zhongli def have tea on afternoons at least once a week where we talk about xiao

similarly i will talk about kazuha to beidou (and she'll try to embarrass him)

special occasions (like birthdays, anniversaries etc.) are spent w just us three and nothing else. like we dont run errands or any of that we just spend time together (kazuha wrote me a haiku on my bday - as his voiceline goes- once and i started crying lmao)

all of us prefer handmade gifts over bought ones so gifts are very pretty but also they all mean sth to us!!

kazuha lets me play with his hair and xiao plays with mine its like those pics where multiple people braid their hair at the same time if youve seen it before HIS HAIR IS SO SOFT ASBDJFKGLH

kazuhas handwriting is pretty if you can read cursive but xiaos is unintelligable so mine is the only handwriting that you can actually read lmao

we have two cats. because i love cats and i have two of them (OH MAYBE WE'LL HAVE 3 BC TOMOS CAT OMG)

kazuha cooks, i bake and xiao sits on the counter looking pretty as he taste tests the food

THEY TEAM UP ON ME TO FLUSTER ME AND I GO ///// IRL LIKE DVGBHJFGH

when im in pain™ they both hold me and kiss me all day to make me feel better :")

alyzuha is friends to lovers and xiaolyssa is reincarnation au (detailed verison here) but also xiaolyssa has insane friends to lovers with angst potential (it has angst potential in general but i dont like thinking abt it bc it makes me sad lmao)

thats all i got at the top of my head rn

Author's note, personal head canons, memes, and general thought processes that occurred to me while writing this Christmas story. You don't need to necessarily read them to understand the fic. The author's note was just getting too long on archiveofourown, and I don't actually like leaving a lot of notes. So, I just decided to make a private, unlisted post dump about it if anyone was curious.

Some of these head canons, I've already written out before because I tried writing Ben 10 fics in the past but always deleted them. Never really liked the directions they were going in, or I just lost the plot completely sometimes and forgot where I was going with the ideas. So, if you've already read these, then my bad. I figured I'd just dump them here anyway. I'm not arguing that any of these are true to canon, they're just daydreamed half-thought out scribbles. Don't take any of them seriously.

Author's Notes and Headcanons:

Title comes from lyrics by The Killers.

Fic is set in an alternate universe, where Ben and Kevin are career criminals. Instead of getting the Omnitrix like in canon, Ben can manipulate mana like Gwen and has a color scheme more similar to his mom's than his dad's: purple and blonde instead of green and brunette.

That thing about Carl and Sandra Tennyson being hippies:

In Alien Force, Eon was retconned into being an Alternate version of Future Ben instead of a Chronian, which kind of sucks.

Even Eon thinks being an alternate Ben really sucks; that's why he spends so much time trying to destroy all the alternate versions of Ben Tennyson. When Eon was displaced from time, he became aware of just how many versions of his universe there were. It gave him an existential crisis. He doesn't even consider himself to be an alternate "Ben" anymore but Something Else™ entirely. There is nothing else like him. He's just Eon and that's that on that.

My interpretation of him is that it's like how Luigi was originally just a recolored Mario but later became his own character.

Identity crisis aside, I'm fond of the idea that he retained anodite characteristics because in his universe, he didn't have an Omnitrix either, inheriting grandma Verdona's abilities instead. His powers are just less refined than Gwen's. While her shields are smooth and controlled, his are unstable and untamed like lightning.

Because of Eon's lack of finesse with mana manipulation, and the fact that his brain is scrambled by time shenanigans, he's always burning through his human form. Unlike Verdona, who can hold onto her human appearance for an extended period, Eon's form is always fluctuating because he can't even remember what his face looks like after centuries. That's why he sometimes looks normal human man, while other times he resembles a rotting corpse.

Paradox smelling like "burned ozone." According to this post, in the Warhammer 40K books, the description of ozone is used "to describe the smell of something coming out of the warp. For instance, a terminator teleporting in." So, that's what I used as inspiration for his scent. It's a pale blue gas that people describe as smelling like chlorine.

HC Eon smelling like space comes from this, which I guess smells like alcohol and raspberries. Not sure if I 100% believe that, but I tried to describe it as best I could.

Vacuity Village doesn't have a description in canon, so I tried to think of the most confusing stuff about it. All I know is that it's Paradox's house and it doesn't have to make sense. From the Wiki:

"Vacuity Village, also referred to as The Depository, is a place in the Null Void where those who no longer fit into any timeline go to live in peace."

Paradox wants Eon to move in with him there but he refuses 😔.

Some things I took from other fandoms, such as Vutalamine crystal. That's a Starwars property, not Ben 10, but idfc since it's fanfic. It's not even a crystal, the image of Eon sucking on one like a cigar was just funny to me. From the wiki:

"Vutalamine had other effects which made it lucrative to individuals from many different walks of life, including a calming influence which allowed the user to process information clearly and make better decisions, slowing of breathing and circulation, and reducing tremors and steadying limbs."

I figured Eon could use something to calm his head down enough any time he needs to sit down and focus.

I am not a math person at all, so don't come for me if I'm getting this wrong, but the equation thing is supposed to be Paradox mathematically calling Eon special to him. I found the equation "∃=1" which is supposedly a representation of "The Uniqueness Quantification," or "the property of being the one and only object satisfying a certain condition." I thought that was pretty cute for Eon and Paradox somehow. This is how I imagine Eon's new helmet to look like on either side of the chin. if it's too ugly, feel free to reimagine it in your head as way cooler, with hotrod flames and sexy anime ladies with large breasts:

Miscellaneous Memes

Anyway, I hope you like my story. This concludes my effort posting.

[symeona]

Haha I'm having emotions~

Okay, secretly, or not so secretly, I really like the idea of Dooku and Ahsoka as a duo?? Nno no listen, it's wholesome I know nobody cares butT

I like Dooku as he was prior to the Disneyfication of Star Wars. The guydude who called Obi Wan his grandson before asking Palpanite to spare his life? That one, your honor.

Cause my HC (supported by Episode 3 zhe novel and Labyrith of Evil) is that after losing Qui, Dooku did an oopsie. He channeled the dark side. Maybe it was just for a moment. But somehow, in the old story, Dooku finds Darth Sidious on his own, he figures it out or senses him. Doesn't tell any of the Jedi cause fuck those losers they let his padawan die! and he goes to wreck Palpatene's ass (But Palpitane got in his head, and yeah..)

Before all that, Dooku was supposed to take Yoda's place as the next Grand Master of the Order. (I haven't read that, somebody told me that. Idk how credible it is, but I dig it as an idea and I think it makes sense)

My point is, I assume that losing Qui Gon was a big deal to Dooku. A big enough deal to throw his entire life and work out the windu. On top of that, I think Ahsoka and Qui Gon share some personality traits that I find important in this case: they're both stubborn imps, they value the work of a Jedi more than the title of a Jedi, they both look inward for answers, they're both Consulares, etc.

Putting all of this together, if I could add something to Dooku's story, it would be him meeting Ahsoka as a baby.

No I will not shut up about this ☝️☝️☝️

Because Dooku was a bad bitch but a good politician, and thought slavery was barbaric, it wouldn't be impossible for him to sense Ahsoka while visiting Shili on a "diplomatic" mission? He'd also have the money to pay off the imposter Jedi or have the skill to, at least, expose them.

(I see Dooku as the Qui Gon of the Sith btw. Like they're both very grey but on opposite sides of the spectrum..)

Dooku would take Ahsoka with him but he wouldn't tell Pilpitine. Dooku wouldn't trust that Ddried up cucumbér and more importantly, Dooku might've been angry with the Jedi but he didn't hate them like Anakin did. Dooku would take Ahsoka with the intention of giving her to the Order.

He would call someone like Master Plo, someone trustworthy, because I think Dooku didn't regret his decision for leaving the Jedi. But he might have regretted leaving without somebody there to replace him?

If Qui Gon was alive and Dooku still fell to the dark somehow, he'd have left knowing Qui Gon was there.

I think Ahsoka embodies a lot of the Jedi spirit™ that Qui Gon had and the heart or Hope that Luke has. If Dooku had met her it would help heal some of his wounds and subsequently pull him away from the dark side. If only by a little tiny bit.

But it would be enough, if over time he watched her grow by his grandpadawan's and Anakin's side. It would take more energy for him to channel his powers and it would add to his weakened state if he suddenly had hope!

In the beginning of Episode 3, he loses to Anakin a little too easily (and pls I don't wanna hear about Anakin being the chosen one, he could be Avril Lavigne's double for all I care here). And in many versions of the story it's said that the Dark Side feeds on the people that use it and weakens them. Like what force lightning did to Pilpatene.

👉👈

Okay I'll come clean.

I hate when characters just die and nothing happens. Dooku died and nothing happened.

But if he knew Ahsoka was still somewhere out there. If he had pulled some strings here and there to ensure her safety? Then that means Dooku died with a little bit of hope... And that's what Star Wars is all ABOOT!!!

And I would have them meet again when Ahsoka had to battle her darker emotions inbetween Episode 3 and and the Mandalorian BUT that's another talk for another time when I'm on crack and need to scream about them again

Boop

I know a lot of the Hunter ships just feel weird to me because 1 he has never interacted with any of the people that he is shipped with and 2 a lot of them act like Hunter is in a relationship with X character, his issues are now fixed when that isn't how relationships work. Friendships don't even work like that. But a lot of the ship fics act like Hunter will just be magically fixed and that more issues won't arise. Like boy is a people pleaser, at least to those that are important to him.

That's it!!! You've hit the nail on the head of my issues with fandom culture and shipping!!! I'll be apparently the first sign anyone has seen of an aroace Hunter headcanon because everyone would rather ship him with someone he's never met rather than look for an option that doesn't involve romance, and then someone feels bad about enjoying the headcanon bc he's popularly shipped!!! And no one thinks this is weird, or wrong, or unfair!!! That's just fandom culture, baby!!!! You know how there will be those narratives where everyone gets paired up in the end regardless of actual chemistry, and it's really annoying? Fandom basically does that by immediately extrapolating romance from nothing for any characters not neatly put in relationships by canon, but it's okay now bc it's queer, so like. Duh. Superior.

Okay, in all fairness. There are PLENTY of Hunter-centric fics out there that explore familial relationships and no romantic ones, I'm sure. But I unfortunately have to sift through fifty billion ambiguously-tagged ship fics and filter out 15 different ship names/ways of tagging the relationship to find them, and THEN I still have to filter out fics with content/writing styles that bothers me. It's... not worth the effort for me. I'll just write my own.

And YEAH, not to get back into the amatonormativity/allonormativity thing (I am fooling no one, you've enabled/set me off, and I'm totally enjoying venting), but that's also, like. So common. For them to be like "Yeah, well, love will fix them!" (To quote Lilith Clawthorne: Vomit). And that's just. Hrngh. it bothers me. Because romance isn't a cure all, and "love will fix them" comes DANGEROUSLY close to "you just haven't met the right person yet" in my personal aroace opinion, especially when I hc the struggling person in question as aroace. I think a lot of the angstier ship fics actually do explore the relationship struggles Hunter will probably have, but... it always feels more like it's for the Relationship Drama™ than for any kind of actual exploration of Hunter's character. Which is FINE, okay, it ACTUALLY IS. I've been kind of anti-this for this post, but actually, fanfic writers who do this: It is YOUR fic, and just because I personally would not enjoy reading it, doesn't mean that it has no value. Not everything has to be deep, sometimes a ship fic can BE a ship fic without having to be deep, we write fanfiction for fun. Heck, half of the writing requests I do don't make sense in canon context. I wrote a whole story where they had an evil laugh contest, and relationships were assumed, past therapy was assumed, you don't HAVE to set all that up. Sometimes people wanna write some fluffy date fics for a character where no one has any issues, and you know what? That's okay. Creating a scenario where it's assumed that the issues have been fixed and these two can have a healthy relationship is fine. Sometimes people wanna write Relationship Drama™ that just uses character flaws for drama and not heavy character exploration, and you know what? That's okay. "'Yeah, well love will fix them' is a dangerous concept when exclusively used" and "It's okay for writers to not always explore each relationship in all of it's entirety when they just wanna write a lil fic" are statements that can coexist.

That got away from me, sorry. To summarize:

- Amatonormativity and allonormativity bad

- Fandoms are overly obsessed with shipping to the detriment of aros, aces, demis, etc.

- "Personal issues go away when you're in a relationship" is ultimately a harmful concept when overused, but it's okay to create scenarios where the issues have already been resolved.

- Narrative that needs to neatly pair everyone up is annoying and it's just as annoying when done in fanon.

- I will die on the Aroace Hunter hill, Dana, I'm begging you to at least not put him in a canon relationship.

Dick Grayson x GN!Reader in: Movie Nights with the (Bat)Boys™ Pt. 1

12 Days of Batmas || Day 8—Watching Holiday Specials

Movie nights are an all-day event with him, ngl.

Mans will legit take off of work and beg out of his nightly duties as well if that’s what it takes to get your schedules to sync up.

Some people might say that he’s doing the most, but those people would be wrong and should really mind their own business, tbh.

↠ Requested By: No one, technically ((but given the fact that I’ve been working on this series since last year I’m sure you’re all ready for me to wrap this ish up lmao)) ↠ Reader Gender: Neutral ↠ Content Type: SFW fluff ((but my blog’s 18+ so if minors want to consume my sfw stuff while still respecting my wishes of them staying out of this space, they can head over to my AO3)) ↠ CWs/TWs: None ↠ Betas? Nah, we don’t do that here. ↠ Total WC: ~800

So there’s no ficlets this time around folks. sorry about it but I just couldn’t come up with anything sadly. But! They’re pretty lengthy (they’re all 700+ words) so that’s something ig. Anyways, that’s enough rambling from me—have at it and (hopefully) enjoy!

Headcanon || WC: ~800

🌟 You just know he lives for stuff like this.

Dick is a man that absolutely thrives on time spent with his baby. Unfortunately being a detective as well as a vigilante’s a real time suck, so he doesn’t get to spend nearly as much time with you as either of you would like.

This makes all the time that does get to spend with you purposeful, which imo makes it even more special.

But this is all only tangentially related, so back to the HC at hand.

🌟 Movie nights are an all-day event with him, ngl.

Mans will legit take off of work and beg out of his nightly duties as well if that’s what it takes to get your schedules to sync up.

Totally goes all out—I’m talking a plethora of snacks, blankets, pillows, and fairy lights all tucked away in one of the most elaborate pillow forts you’ve ever seen in your life.

Will insist that you get in your comfiest clothes. Said clothes may or may not be matching onesies that he’s bought specifically for just such an occasion lol.

Despite all the room in the fort he’ll p. much keep you in his lap for the duration if you’ll let him. He’s a cute, clingy thing, but we been knew.

((the only real problem with this positioning is the fact that you’re gonna have to deal with him smacking in your ear/getting crumbs in your hair/etc. so have fun with that lmao))

When he’s not turning your head into an impromptu bib, he’s laid out over you. Doesn’t matter what your stature is in comparison to his—he’s gonna flop the whole of his bulk on to you like a giant man-cat.

By his estimation it’s a win either way it goes. If you’re smaller than him then he gets to cuddle-smoosh you (ofc he’s always careful to keep from actually hurting you/making you uncomfortable) and if you’re the same size or bigger he gets to be the cuddle-smooshee lol.

🌟 Will probably, no definitely, fall asleep on you at some point.

More like multiple times, actually.

Look—honey’s a cop as well as a Bat, can you really blame him?

His hype’ll see him staying up for like the first half an hour, but eventually all the rest that he’s been missing out on will demand its due. Doesn’t help that he’s stuffed himself full of sugary junk, so if his exhaustion doesn’t get him the sugar crash will.

He will totally try to play it off like he wasn’t sleeping. He’ll wake up just long enough to say something random that you guess is supposed to pertain to the movie, but doesn’t really make much sense before knocking out again.

He’ll only admit to falling asleep if you refuse to rewatch the movie with him—the movie that he only wants to rewatch because it was just that good, honest! Lots of “But looove, I was asleep! It doesn’t count!” and pouting and the like until you break lol.

🌟 When he’s not dozing, he’s another one that likes to chatter while he watches.

And it won’t just be about the movie either. His brain has a tendency to bounce around a lot during his downtime, so expect lots of tangents—but don’t worry, it’s something you’ll get use to fairly quickly, if you’re dating him.

Also a big fan of drinking games; this can be a boozy experience if you so choose, but he’s also cool with using non-alcoholic beverages or really any alternative that you can come up with.

He always picks a set of rules that he knows will get a lot of penalties out of both of you because anything less wouldn’t be fun.

((i.e. take a sip every time the business minded leading lady is mean to the small town hunk/chug the glass for every on the nose town name/etc.))

🌟 He already owns pretty much every holiday related movie known to man.

He’s not usually one for things like itineraries as he finds more enjoyment in letting things unfold as they may, but this is one of the few instances he’ll bend on that.

Because he does have so many movies to choose from, never mind the fact that like a dozen-plus Made for TV joints come out every year, he’ll sit down with you days in advance so that you can plot out what you want to watch.

He’s not at all picky about the lineup; so long as A Charlie Brown Christmas is somewhere in the mix he’s good.

🌟 So yeah, movie nights with Dick are always a good time (to the surprise of literally no one lol) so just kick back and enjoy having you man all to yourself for the whole of the day.

🌟 Up Next: Day Nine || Kissing Under the Mistletoe ((check back tomorrow!!))
