Not to be a loser or whatever but saying Astrid is "the man in the relationship" in Hiccstrid is wildly misogynistic and misandrist all at the same time. Enforcing rigid gender roles to pretend you're NOT enforcing gender roles is fucking weird.
Hiccup is a man, he is The Man in the relationship. All of him is masculine because he is a man, he identifies as a man, he (we can assume) has male biology, and everyone around him accepts him as male.
Acting like Hiccup is somehow "weak" or "submissive" or "effeminate" just because he's thin and has a gentler personality then Astrid walks back what Feminists have been struggling to explain for years.
Astrid is a woman, she is The Woman in the relationship. All of her is feminine because she is a woman, she identifies as a woman, she (we can assume) has female biology, and everyone around her accepts her as female.
Acting like Astrid is "dominating" or "masculine" or "stronger" just because she's a better warrior and has a more aggressive personality then Hiccup is
WALKING BACK WHAT FEMINISTS HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO DEPROGRAM FROM YOUR PEA BRAINS FOR DECADES
Personality traits and physical attributes do not dictate what makes you a man or a woman, it's how you FEEL and how you accept yourself. If you are a man thats gentle and compassionate, empathetic and patient- then you ARE JUST A MAN WHO IS GENTLE AND COMPASSIONATE AND EMPATHETIC AND PATIENT.
WOMEN ARE STILL WOMEN IF THEY'RE PHYSICALLY STRONG OR THEY'RE AGGRESSIVE OR THEY'RE SMART.
the sudden thought of bakugou katsuki sending an audio to his s/o while at the gym, where he speaks IN BETWEEN GASPS AND GRUNTS AND EVEN GROWLS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT HE'S LIFTING WHILE ALSO TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR DINNER AND SUGGESTING MEALS OR PLEACES TO GO IF YOU WANT AND THEN HE SAYS, "Ugh... whatever you... mmh... want, baby, it's yours..." AND HE EXHALES FUCKING SEXILY AS THE SOUND OF THE WEIGHT DROPPING IS HEARD.
[Leo is taking the fact that he was born biologically female simultaneously very well and also not so well but overall he’s mostly coping with the fact that it was Draxum that just essentially gave him the turtle equivalent of ‘The Talk’.]
look at that character you’re headcanoning as a trans man.
are you headcanoning him that way because you think it’s interesting, or because he’s a twink and acts kind of feminine?
if you write about him, do you treat him the same way you do your other characters, or is he distinctly separated?
can he handle himself, or is he always the damsel in distress? do you have someone bigger and stronger than him always save him?
do you make him act more childish or confused? is he super innocent and needs someone wiser to guide him?
are you willing to explore what his transness means, or do you just think it makes him hotter?
did you make him trans because you wanted to write him as the bottom? is he trans because you wanted him pregnant without "technically" writing mpreg?
are you willing to headcanon big strong men as trans men? old men? not stereotypically attractive men? men of color? fat men? disabled men?
is his transness a part of him or do you just treat it is a prop?
on the other hand, is he more than just his transness, or is that all there is to him?
do you include other queer and trans people in your work? how do you treat them in your writing?
how do you treat actual trans men? trans men who dont pass? trans men who do? who dont feel comfortable being perceived as feminine? who present in a more feminine way? who identify as more than just a man? who arent just white twinkish silly feminine men? who are kids, meaning you can’t just sexualize them? who are more than just props to be used within a story to push the plot along?
are you willing to listen to trans men who speak out on their issues, or does that seperate them too far from the fantasy you’ve concocted about them?
Headcanon Jason Todd is versed in like five different languages because he travels so much and he surprises his brothers and sister by that:
Jason, on the phone: Zasranets, ya skazal, v magazine na uglu! (Asshole, I said, at the corner store!)
Dick: Um, who are you-
Jason, still on the phone: Ryadom s gastronomom, a ne s Makdonal'dsom, u tebya yest' desyat' minut! (Near the grocery store, not McDonald's, you have ten minutes!)
Jason hangs up the phone.
Jason: Okay, we got ten minutes. Also can you not talk while I'm on the phone next time.
Dick Grayson: You... You speak Russian?
Jason: I learned it a few years ago.
Dick Grayson: What do you use it for?
Jason: To meet ... Friends from a far. So when three men enter this store, it's for totally legal reasons.
Dick Grayson: For my sake and yours, I'll pretend that's true.
...
Tim: Jason, Jason! I need to talk to you!
Jason, groaning: Anong gusto mo?!
Tim: Did you speak... Was that Filipino?
Jason: Shit my brain got confused for a second, I was talking to some... Friends about a... Meeting in a week and it's hard to switch back to English. Teaching yourself Filipino ain't easy, am I right? I asked you 'what do you want?'
Tim: I completely forgot, I'm low-key impressed.
...
Damien: Hallo, Todd hast du den neuen Film gesehen? (Hello Todd have you seen the new movie?)
Jason: Ja. (Yes)
Damien: War es gut? (Was it good?)
Jason: Mittelmäßig, das Ende zog sich hin. (Mediocre, the end dragged on.)
Damien nods and walks off.
Barbara: When did either of you learn German?
Jason: I learned it to travel to Germany to meet with a crime boss and shoot him in the brain. This was before I got better, not like last week or anything. Then I taught Damien.
Barbara: Oh, cool. I admire your honesty to me.
Jason: Yeah I respect you enough not to lie. That and you scare me.
Barbara: Habe es immer noch verstanden. (Still got it.)
ghost’s accent being pretty neutral. says he’s from manchester but no one thinks he really sounds it.
until, that is, he’s either very drunk or under heavy anaesthesia. it’s after he’d taken a nasty hit during a mission and soap had visited him near fresh from surgery that he discovers this fun little quirk.
obviously he takes great joy in throwing ghost an “english, riley,” even though the man is far too loopy to care, and probably to remember as well. and best believe soap takes a video to remember because he knows very well that ghost will do his damnedest to deny the fact he sounds like a liam gallagher clone when he really lets loose.
Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.
Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.
The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.
And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).
And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.
Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.
(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).
After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).
Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.
𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 : kinda suggestive (i mean it's me. ofc its gotta be suggestive somehow), some swearing, kinda ooc for suo. can you blame me though? we know so little about the man and we're already 140+ chapters deep.
𝐒𝐀𝐊𝐔𝐑𝐀.
- canonically doesn't own a pillow so he only sleeps on his side, curled up to conserve heat. like a cat. but after having you around? he's clinging onto you, man. he may deny it vehemently when you tease him about it in the morning, throwing pillows at you as he's blushing profusely, but he doesn't know you've taken a picture of him with his arm over your chest, tugging you close to him.
- clenches and grinds his teeth when he sleeps. you buy him a mouth guard so his jaw isn't as tense when he wakes up. (TMJ sufferers rise up)
- sleeps in his boxers when you're around but if not, he's going commando, baby. just... text him when you're planning on surprising him in the morning. give him prep time unless you're looking to eat sausage for breakfast.
- gets bed hair but doesn't care. he'd have a huge cowlick on his head but he doesn't mind. best he could do is kind of wet his hair? anything more than that is too much effort.
- very light sleeper. if he hears the smallest bump in the night, he's immediately up.
- has only one duvet and it's kind of falling apart. you gifted him a new one and he almost cried in front of you (not without freaking out about it first.)
- talks in his sleep sometimes. you record him whenever you catch him doing it just to play it back for him in the morning. he's always so confused as to how and why he does it.
𝐔𝐌𝐄.
- won't sleep unless you give him his goodnight kisses. you have to. how dare you deny him of the pleasure of kissing you before you sleep?
- always lets you sleep before he does because he reads before he sleeps.
- needs reading glasses and falls asleep with them on. CONSTANTLY. you have to remind him about them before you snooze or you peel them off when you wake up before he does. has broken one (close to a dozen) reading glasses before you came along because he kept sleeping on them.
- has to read before he sleeps. it's a necessity. he reads stuff ranging from philosophy to manga. never fails to fall asleep with a book in his hand too.
- checks on a spreadsheet he's got for his plants so he has a game plan ready in the morning. checks the weather and temperature and everything before he does his reading routine. worries endlessly if a heavy typhoon drops or god forbid hailstorms.
- HUGE SLEEP HUGGER AND YOU CANNOT TELL ME OTHERWISE. his body just naturally gravitates towards you in his sleep. it's cute. it's endearing. until it's a hot summer night and you're damn near naked because just wearing a shirt's making you sweat. ume's just a happy sleeping puppy of a man, sweaty body clinging to your side.
- a very light snorer. you rarely ever get to hear him snore. he only does after a particularly tiring day or after you've had rounds and rounds of se--
- gets a boner most nights.
- wet dreams often. you have to help him out in the mornings.
- that being said, he's very, very touchy in the mornings.
𝐒𝐔𝐎.
- sleeps like the dead. you may or may not have held your finger to his nose to check if he's still breathing.
- never has bed hair. when he wakes up, he looks absolutely impeccable. it's crazy.
- has a candle warmer set to a timer. likes sleeping when his surroundings smell good. also has a scent diffuser.
- has like... a 30 minute long ritual before bed. candle warmer, check. proper pyjamas, check. pillows plumped, check. skincare routine, done. you always end up waiting for him on the bed while he's apologizing with that sweet voice of his while crawling into bed with you.
- only ever sleeps facing up. if you want to cuddle, he could. but he can't engulf you in his frame or anything. just an arm around you or maybe with you pressed up against his side.
- he runs cold so he's got thick duvets over thick duvets. they're really soft too. hotel quality. always gets them washed.
- somehow you've never caught him in the process of waking up. he's always up before you, brewing tea or cooking breakfast. hell, he already has a set ready for you by the time you wake up.
- who am I kidding suo never sleeps.
a/n: just a quick little thing before i hop into bed. doing part two soon bc i wanna clown on kaji so fucking BAAAAAD omg (affectionately) ok goodnight babycakes.
