#uhhh something something terra get help idk

[avatarmerida]

So on twitter the other day, @rebeccaartsy mentioned she was thinking about how different things would be if Hunter was there from the beginning and it really got my mind moving.

So like my totally self indulgent headcanon or whatever,is that Hunter in season one is spending his time hunting wild witches and no one really takes him seriously so the whole time he’s trying to prove himself by trying to capture the most famous wild witch, Eda. But I like to think he doesn’t have a very strong artificial staff at this point and isn’t seen as much of a threat. He’s also either not the Golden Guard yet or just wears normal scout stuff to draw less attention. So he is always setting traps and stuff and Luz meets him and his vibe is like an annoying neighbor kid. He just gets roped into the occasional adventure because he’s there and just when he's starting to question life in the coven he gets promoted to coven head and he works even harder to be taken seriously.

Because I love how Hunter and Willow meet so much where they see the true version of each other right away in a way no one else has, I imagine their first meeting is still outside Luz and everything. Like, Hunter is messing with something plant related (maybe making a trap or liking for a rare plant to help Belos, idk) and gets tangled in some aggressive vines and Willow finds him and helps him. But the vines are from like a really complicated plant that requires extreme patience and talent and he’s like even Terra would have trouble with it and while his spitting facts Willow just untangles him effortlessly. She’s just like “boop! You’re good :)” and at first he’s worried she’s gonna tell someone or blackmail him but she’s just “no prob yo.” But she’s also very impressed that he found the plant that he did, cause they're super elusive and he’s like uhhh thanks.

So he offers to walk her to where she’s going and they start talking and he’s info dumping things on plant magic and they’re vibing and he realizes no one has ever let him talk so much before. And she likes talking to him. Then he realizes exactly where they are and before he can make an excuse to leave, Luz comes out to greet Willow and when she sees Hunter she groans. And they dive into their sibling banter slinging shots back and forth and Willow just stands there thinking like “huh, this is the guy who’s always annoying her? He’s not that bad.”

And so it’s just like a little bit where he’s always like “ugh you guys are the worst! But not you Willow, you’re great obvi.” Like he has no idea anyone would ever think she’s weak because he still met her in her element and she just thinks he’s a dork. But the crushing doesn't really start until Understanding Willow because I love that episode and I say so:

“Gus, listen,” said Hunter, as he walked through the open door of the Owl House. “Obviously, there is much I can’t divulge but upon consideration I am willing to grant you an interview for your class. The Emperor’s Coven values education, and so I could definitely offer you information on our selection process which I’m sure your teachers will find impressive and- why is Willow upside down?”

“Oh, Amity set Willow’s mind on fire and now she’s losing all her memories,” said Luz with a nervous chuckle. “But uh, what’s up with you?”

“What?” He said running over to her side and helping her sit correctly on the couch. “Is she okay?”

“Don’t worry blondie, we’re gonna get these knuckleheads in there to set things right,” said Eda. “Or at least less wrong.”

“You’re gonna entrust Willow’s mind in the hands of… them?” Said Hunter in disdain as he glared at Luz and Amity who honestly couldn’t argue with him. “They were the ones who put her in this situation in the first place! Not to mention, this location isn’t zoned for a spell of that caliber and as a member of the Emperor’s Coven I could-.”

“Listen, do you want it done soon or do you want it done legally?” Asked Eda. “Cause by the time we get the permits to do it your way Goldie, there won’t be any of Willow’s memories left to save.”

“Very well then,” said Hunter, pretending as though it was a hard decision. “I’ll allow it. Just… be careful with her.”

“Alright then,” said Eda. “Lemme whip up something to put her to sleep. She’s not gonna wanna be awake for this.”

“Oh look, the prince is here,” giggled Willow, leaning on Hunter’s shoulder for support as she noticed his presence for the first time. “Helloooo, your highness.”

“Uh, hi,” he said, not expecting her to be this close to him. “A-re you oka-.”

“Shhh,” she said, putting her finger to his lips, whispering as though it was the most serious thing on earth. “There’s something I need to tell you.”

“What?” he said despite his lips being smushed, hanging on to her words with concern.

She took a deep breath. “You have beautiful eyes.” She whispered with intensity.

His face turned bright crimson as he tried to laugh, assuming it must be a joke of some sort. But Willow’s voice didn’t carry the disdain most jokes at Hunter’s expense carried. She wasn’t in her right mind, but maybe that didn’t mean she wasn’t serious.

“Oh uh… thank you?” He said, clearing his throat. “So uh so do you?”

“Hmmm,” she giggled then hiccuped, squinting at him and then leaning in closer as though she couldn’t quite see something. “Do they make you wear that mask because you're so handsome all the time?”

“What?”

“Woo, you could cut something with that jaw ouch,” she said, her voice low and playful before erupting into another sea of giggles.

“I uh, I don’t think that’s-.”

“Nap time!” Said Eda, and Willow instantly fell asleep, leaning forward onto Hunter’s shoulder. He was unprepared to say the least, but tentatively put an arm around her to keep her steady, his eyes wide as his movements were careful.

“Alright coven boy, you keep Princess Planter comfy while I tell these two how to keep things from getting worse,” instructed Eda, pointing to Luz and Amity.

“Yeah sure okay,” replied Hunter, barely listening. Eda was telling Luz and Amity something but all Hunter could hear was the gentle sound of Willow snoring, her breathing slow and deep and peaceful. He has never been so close to her, he could see every delicate freckle that decorated her face. Her glasses were askew so he carefully removed them, because it just seemed like the thing to do. Her mind was on fire, the least he could do was make her more comfortable.

—

He watched as her eyes shifted behind her eyelids as she… dreamed? Would she think this was all a dream? She would mumble things occasionally, hopefully that meant something good? She just looked so-

“Hey Hunter, you want in on this?” Asked Gus.

“Huh?” He looked up quickly as though he was being accused of something. He hadn’t been listening. Hadn’t he been tasked with monitoring her? Is that what Eda said or had he just done it naturally? “Sorry, what?”

“King and Eda are competing to be the subject of my interview,” repeated Gus. “You want in?”

Hunter had forgotten all about being the subject of Gus’ report as he became engrossed in watching Willow sleep. Was that creepy? He didn’t mean it to be. He just felt… protective. He felt responsible. He could never fall asleep like this with anyone unless he trusted them completely. He had never fallen asleep around anyone. And he knew Willow did not have a choice in the matter but he wanted to be worthy of her trust anyway.

“Uh, no thanks maybe next time,” he said, uncharacteristically soft. “Someone should keep an eye on Willow.”

“Eh, she’s not going anywhere goldie,” said Eda as a twinkle entered her eye. “Buuuut when she does wake up, she’s probably gonna be hungry. Having the essence of your inner being threatened really takes alot out of you.”

“Oh yeah, sure,” said Hunter, looking at her in wonder. She seemed to be doing fine, but no doubt there would be brutal side effects. “Should I-.”

“Snacks! Snacks! Snacks!” chanted King.

“Oh yeah, uh I guess I could… do that,” he said softly. He wasn’t sure why he was being quiet, no one else was. But his usual tone didn’t seem fitting now. Normally, he would not take orders (or even suggestions) from civilians but if it was for Willow then it didn’t feel like succumbing to rank. It felt like helping. It felt purposeful. He carefully removed himself from Willow’s presence, mourning the loss of warmth for only a moment, and placed her comfortably on the couch. As he made his way to the kitchen, his eyes were glued to her until it was impossible to continue. Eda,King, and Gus were too occupied in their debate to notice.

---

Willow was going to be fine, she had to be. Everyone would be acting more worried if she wasn’t, right? She had always been strong and capable, he knew her mind couldn’t be much different. He turned his focus from concern into purpose. He wouldn’t admit it to the others, but he was thankful for the distraction. He felt foolish just sitting there not being able to do anything for her. He had never actually made something before, but how hard could it be? He had studied under the head of the Potions coven, how different was baking from that?

As he looked through Eda’s cupboards, Willow’s words echoed in his ears. Well, not all of them. There was one in particular, occupied by the way the ends of her mouth turned up as she said it that made his stomach flip.

Handsome.

No one had ever called him that before, not even ironically. Did she really think that? Why did he care so much if she did? Why, suddenly, did he want so much for her to?

Was it really suddenly though?

Ugh! Why hadn’t he said something cooler? He wasn’t sure she’d even remember saying it, but if she did he didn’t want his surprised reaction to prevent her from possibly repeating herself! He had never had issue thinking of clever retorts (though, to be fair he did do a fair deal of practicing in his bedroom mirror each night) and they often fell into a comfortable conversation. But sometimes she would say something a certain way or look at him too long and it would throw him off. Not in a bad way, no nothing at all like that, just… unexpected. She laughed at the jokes people would roll their eyes at or ask him to continue where normally he was cut off and all the little things just kept adding and piling up until Hunter didn’t know how he was supposed to carry them. She was so many little things, like the way she tilted her head when she asked him a silly question or how her glasses would slide off her edge of her knows when she got excited or the way she would stand close to him and sometimes their hands would brush like she didn’t care if they-

Focus! He thought, taking ingredients from the cabinets. There wasn’t much and what there was seemed to have no organizational system but he could resolve that after he figured out what to whip up. Something simple, something to show Willow he wanted to help. He didn’t know her well enough to enter her mind with Luz and Amity, but secretly he hoped he was getting there.

---

He managed to make something that resembled cookies, the smell filled the kitchen and it surprisingly wasn't an awful smell?. He remembered Willow mentioned once she was eager to get home as her father had made some and they were waiting for her. Truthfully, Hunter had never tasted a cookie but he had seen them when he walked by the bakery in town and knew the basics of their structure. Surely if he had taken a wrong turn the smell would reflect that, right? He imagined the look on Willow’s face when she saw his creation, and maybe even liked it. The flipped feeling returned to his stomach and spread through his whole chest like a wild fire when the potential look of delight on her face graced his mind.

In his efforts, he had made quite the mess. But he couldn’t help but feel pride as he quickly plated his creation, eager to return to Willow’s side. He didn’t think too much into this, he was always excited to see Willow. He tried not to think too much into that, chalking it up to the fact that she was interesting and a good listener and funny and smart and pretty and-

The point was she didn’t find him totally annoying, so why shouldn’t he enjoy her company?

And if she happened to think he was a little handsome then, well, that wasn’t the worst thing.

As he set the cookies to cool, he heard a sudden commotion from the next room. He quickly ran to see the cause, hoping it was a good sign. There was a bright flash and then he heard Luz and Amity. He stood back a moment, trying to deduce their tone before he heard Willow speak. Her voice was horse and soft, but he could tell she was back to normal. Good, he thought, feeling as though he could finally breathe again. She’s okay, she’s okay.

He went to greet her but before he could leave the kitchen, he was stopped by Luz. Before he could offer a snarky question as to what exactly she thought she was doing, she looked at him with wide, concerned eyes.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, furrowing his brow. He tried to looked past her to see what was going on. “Is she okay? Did something happen to-?”

“Willow’s fine.” she assured him, putting her arm up to stop him. “There was just some… complications.”

“What complications? Was she hurt? Does she need-?”

“No no, nothing like that but um there were some memories… we couldn’t save,” said Luz carefully.

“Like what? Did she forget something for a test she has? Because I can always-.”

“No, no uh there were more… recent memories,” Luz tried to figure out the nicest way to say this. ”Hunter, I’m sorry but we were still figuring out how things worked and it all happened so fast but… Willow doesn’t remember you.”

“What?” He felt something shatter.

“I’m so sorry, but hey, it’s an easy fix! Right? We can just introduce you now!”

“Yeah, uh I guess…” he said, looking at his current state. He had thrown on an old apron and was covered in flour, his hair a mess. This night was already so chaotic, it hardly seemed like a time Willow would want to meet someone new.

And then it dawned on Hunter: he had a second chance at a first impression.

Their first meeting had been… interesting. If you count hanging upside down by your ankle until a girl who took a wrong turn stumbles upon you helps untangle you interesting. Hunter did. But he had been so grumpy and flustered, and he wouldn’t have been had he only known who exactly had come to his rescue. She didn’t seem to care or be bothered by it, but he had come to value her opinion and he’d like to start again on the best foot possible. He had a chance for her to see him exactly as he wanted to be seen from the beginning and it felt like a chance he needed to seize.

His mind made up, he looked around for a way out before the human could return with Willow. Quickly, he climbed out the window and landed in a bush, He ducked beneath the window and pressed his back againythe wall as he heard Willow and Luz enter the kitchen,

“Huh, where did he go?” he heard Luz wonder.

“Who was this again?” Willow asked, her voice still raspy as though she was utterly exhausted.

“Uh, it’s kinda hard to explain,” Luz admitted. “But, he’ll be around again. I know he really wants to meet you!”

“Okay,” said Willow, uncertain. “If you say so.”

He couldn't help but think about the chill that went up his spine when she looked into his eyes. He didn’t understand exactly what it was but he knew it wasn’t nothing. He wanted Willow to know a better version of him. He cared what she thought. When she met him this time, he wanted it to be a meeting worth remembering.

—-

And so for the rest of the series up until ASIAS he’s trying to work up the nerve to meet Willow again as Hunter. Just when he’s ready, he gets promoted to coven bead and that’s when I’m also promoting him to Golden Guard or maybe like Golden Guard full time. So now he has more on his plate and he gets a more advanced staff and now he’s a real threat. But of course because he’s a loser and can’t stay away from her so they do interact when he’s the Golden Guard and he has that masked confidence. He’s still getting to know her so he’ll like run into her in the market or something and flirt but didn’t realize it’s flirting and he’s planning the perfect way to “re-meet.” The whole time Willow is like bugging because there’s something so familiar about him but she doesn’t know what and the others don’t tell her because they’re like still figuring out his deal. So when he does come to Hexside during ASIAS it’s much more thought through and intentional and feelings have already been caught.

Anyway sorry for a long pointless post but that’s just been on my mind k thanks bye.

I think that majority of players don’t even know that chen is one of the main character in game that it’s sad. I see a lot of people complaining about her appearing in stories after reunion arc even though her screen time is already a lot less than amiya and kaltsit… I think yj already forgot about the main characters concept lmao but her getting new outfit at different region is cool i guess but why are those outfits so weird- (sorry this is just my personally ranting…

true! before I go on my own ramble everyone else can scroll down to the bottom for (unconfirmed??) ten thousand mountains lore/trivia

i have a feeling this image is somehow related to your ask LMFAO...

actually... have they mentioned the whole 'kaltsit = past, chen = present, and amiya = future' thing outside of CN or did i dream this i feel like they said it somewhere...i can kind of see how people would think amiya is the only protag seeing as there are people who unironically think the doc is the (sole/main) protag and chen/kal acting so antagonistic early on probably didnt help lol

2. yea its sad but as always if chen has 1 morbillion fans i am one of them if she has one im that 1 fan etc drinking their salty tears 🫡🫡🫡

3. uhhh went on a little costume design ramble sorry. my outfits copium is basically telling myself she's really getting the 'dad who does not really understand fashion buying(designing) clothes for child' treatment anime-style (like what can i say other than point to the night and day difference of dossoles chummer e2 fit vs the ice cream collab fit)

i have my personal nitpicks for every outfit but (looks at gavial2 summer skin) a 8.8 is so much better than a...nvm i'll refrain from grading. but for all the nits i pick i think they still pass the baseline of costume design because of the storytelling they do

base chen: cop who likes to yolo a bit too much, leave that one button undone so roll up her sleeves, give her gloves, give her a walkie talkie/earpiece etc, e2 makes that jacket even bigger and has that yummy rhodes teal

CNY skin: still of the opinion/hc that its the dress fumizuki mentioned which is why she looks like shes wearing it grudgingly, it has shorts though at least !!

chummer: shes (trying to be) on a holungday so bring back her epic tourist c cap and make her existing recognizable jacket more summer-y, also the duck heart emoji

victorian arc: cop sideclass(?) to sheriff detective or something, embracing her cringe but free era by leaving her collars up now has the sense to tuck in her shirt and wear actual pants, better coverage against the elements etc etc thank terra nevermind the fact theyre so tight fitting this is just like khr also she looks flatter in the animated PV smile i'm reminded of a wb comment that went sth like 'why are you dressing like this when youre already 30' on this fit and shes not explicitly 30 etc etc but i really like the 'chuuni(cringe but free) at 30' vibe

yumen: passing-by traveler with the cape!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍 i really like how it looks in the cg lol with the thinner/darker stripes on the outside, ngl no fucking idea what that green box is but i appreciate chen still having a little green and yellow on her outfit, the shortness of the dress? bothered me at first but ive come to the terms that chen is a shorts enjoyer so

10k mountains: youxia-core with the hat and cape👍👍👍👍👍👍 and keeps the plastic part from chummer jacket as well as the checkers (i think they were zips but you know, the black and white alternating…lol remember how her current thing is supposedly dealing with the reality of being grey or whatever as little sense as that makes. we are in full hc territory here but its so much better than adding another 20 belts) the heels dont exist to me though

like idk it's not even a high bar honestly just nail down the role/silhouettes first before adding your morbillion belts/fanservice 😭 looking at a certain bunch of characters anyway this is why swire has the best track record for outfits 1/? ill stop here before i start tambling about her summer drip

anyway everyone should look at this Canon(as in camera brand not the other meaning) ad ft. real cormorant im convinced they got the designs from HG early because they dropped a photoshoot ~bout a week after the 4anni livestream and they got the 2hu-style sleeves right that you can never see unless you look at the sprite sheet, uh

wait what's this on the back

oh its from a poem wait whys that so famili

just going to link some translations/explainers of the poem i think but you can also look up '涼州詞 王之渙 + english translation' or something for more there's quite a few

[crimeronan]

Back to ramble a bit about the Park fam!

The addition of Darius being the main cause of the Abomination Coven getting the reputation of being a popular/versatile coven to join due to the his lazy/ hands-off facade while in all actuality allowing extremely treasonous thing to go down. And quick side-note, despite being eventually bought out by the Emperor in canon and the personal beef between Darius and the Blights, Blight industry, a subsidiary of the coven, made personal security and weapons for the public and didn’t seem to discriminate between loyalist and wild witch buyers (private sales with cloaked buyers) but only those who could afford it pay for it.

Imagining Harvey and Gilbert being really stressed about Willow’s future as Willow gets older and the eventuality of having to pick a track at school looms closer and then, while at work, Harvey walks in on an Abomination Coven coworker doing the tiniest spell that they absolutely-should-not-be-able-to-do-with-an-abomination-sigil (idk, something like magically adding toppings on their lunch sandwich when the take-out place got the order wrong. Something that would that would be just absolutely stupid to be caught out as a secret Wild Witch for)

And there’s this whole deer-in-the-headlights awkward silence:

Harvey: Did you just…?

Coworker, terrified and trying to angle their *coughcough Totally Not Fake Or Anything cough* abomination sigil to be extremely visible: No! I mean, that’s- Uh- no, pshhh ah…. whaaat?

Harvey: ……….nevermind

And later that day Harvey goes home and tells Gilbert that they should enroll Willow in the Abomination track when it comes time and Gilbert’s like, “Well, I guess. It’s as good as any other right now besides… you know. But why abominations all of a sudden? Are you thinking helping her with her homework will be enough?” And Harvey’s just, “It uhhh… There’s a lot of opportunities on that track…” while trying to think over the pros and cons of telling their husband about seeing a wild witch amidst the coven and that if only Willow could hold out long enough to “join” the abominations coven then maybe she can actually just do whatever she wants.

Except she doesn’t. And she’s miserable in the abomination track. And it was only a matter of time before someone saw just how good she was with plant magic. And, in the AU, she ends up exactly where they feared she might. Right under the thumb of Terra Snapdragon.

On a completely separate note! Willow trying manage all the tasks that Terra decided to give on one of her very rare days off in enough time that she might get to visit home to see her dads for once. And Amity/Hunter/Luz, with every ounce of parental trauma between them, “What? Why??”

I AM YELLING ABOUT ALL OF THIS. YEAH YEAH YEAH THIS JIVES SO WELL WITH ALL MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE ABOMINATION COVEN & WOULD EXPLAIN SOOOOO MUCH ABOUT WILLOW'S PARENTS.... when you're genuinely trying to protect your daughter from fascist bullshit but you can't tell her why and all she hears is "you have to be a successful career woman using magic that doesn't suck like your natural aptitude does"

OOUGH GOD. i am a SUCKER for parents fucking up not out of malice or even being misguided but simply because Parenting Is Complicated and parenting under fascism is even worse. MAN.

Betrayer 10

in which Lorgar gets irritated a lot, Kharn checks in with Lotara, and Erebus and Argel Tal talk

so who are the four ah it's our four main protags, Lorgar, Angron, Kharn, and Argel Tal Lorgar has been 100% healed Lorgar pontificates about all the worlds they've killed so far blah blah song of the warp etc etc Angron: so about that warp storm that was supposed to form from Calth

Lorgar: don't ask me what, idk yet Lorgar: but it has to be a super important death OH lorgar's gonna kill 2 birds with one stone "fix" angron and fully set off the ruinstorm so since Armatura is dead they're going to split up and go hunting in small packs Angron wants to know why not go after Maccrage

lorgar? calling something meaningless symbolism? it's more likely than you think but seriously, lmao it's the nerve centre of ultramar it should be pretty symbolic in terms of warp stuff iiii think someone isn't being entirely honest here

I wanted to pull up the arrested development gif here but I couldn't find it

boy someone's touchy

they would both hate it so much but lorgar 🤝 mortarion ITS NOT MAGIC GUYS

lmao angron just picks up a book and fans through it like "whatever" and lorgar gets the anime angry marks on his face

uncanny valley lorgar continues to uncanny valley

i mean you're the one who destroyed them in a fit of temper they didn't just do that themselves

also people should do more art of lorgar smiling irritatedly with his forehead twitching

he does that a lot in this book and time for Erebus to show up

and in that moment erebus knew he fucked up

wheeze angron is also wheezing lol erebus: uhhh yeahhh anyways kor phaeron needs reinforcements lorgar: lol. lmao.

huh another use of "whore" (in a weird spot, too) like even using it metaphorically it doesn't really work there?

erebus: about signus prime lorgar: will people shut up about signus prime it's not going to work

TYPHON MENTION okay it's time for Lorgar to analyze Sanguinius

that does track with my impression of sanguinius

and that's why Lorgar thinks he's the most loyal because he's got the most to prove or at least, he THINKS he has the most to prove

Angron takes a parting shot at Erebus (verbal) about him not being there to help when they needed him

he's going to be Very Disappointed in you if you do this, Argel Tal lol time for Kharn to go check up on Lotara and also say hi to Lhorke

lol hey Kharn remember when you hung up on her

lmao anyways it's lorgar's orders

"he wants to burn them for the sin of cowardice" and also squeeze out the last drips of suffering, kharn guesses

he doesn't really have a response to that it's a question people on every side of this war are asking and Angron is here

literally everyone likes Lehralla huh

Angron and Lhorke share a few words, and Angron remembers what it was like to fight dreadnoughts at Isstvan Part 1 ends here! on the order to salt the earth of Armatura

part 2: Nuceria it begins with Argel Tal visiting Cyrene's tomb as we talked about earlier, Argel Tal is very fun in a lot of ways he's got a lot of positive traits and virtues but ultimately at his core he's a guy fighting for evil in this specific case what i'm thinking about is him passing by the graves of his former comrades and the way he remembers them so Cyrene's worshipped as a Chaos martyr

also "the girl" she was about 50

annnd Erebus interrupt he wants to know why the world eaters are out for blood after Armatura

it's interesting because this is all we see of the Word Bearer side of things re: Armatura it sure says something when the daemon living in your skin wants to kill Erebus

heh

the Horus thing, lmao

again, lol anyways Erebus wants Sanguinius on their side because in every future where he's on Terra when they get there, they lose

erebus internally: welp guess that settles it heh

Erebus doesn't answer Argel Tal goes full daemon this really was a dangerous move on Erebus' part he could have gotten eaten here but luckily he's a fast talker or "luckily" depending on how much you hate him lol

oho it's a twist

[sl33pyperson]

time for my evil campaign:

darcel: warlock tiefling, agent of chaos and doing shit just because, the worst thing you can do to them is be boring

arukin perrikin: dwarf cleric/warlock of selune (or is it???), soft and quiet and really doesnt want to get roped into things but they have poor choice in friends

casey darzil: born into a noble family, ran the fuck outta there to become a child of nature (gnome druid whos main form is a komodo dragon, joined a pirate crew to see the world) way too bubbly and excitable for her own good

viol terra: got banned from the national roller derby comps bc she killed someone on stage. elf (either barbarian or fighter lol) with anger issues and a bit chip off her shoulder, wants to right her name to become the #1 champ finally (ignore that roller derby is a team sport. viol still doesnt understand that. they just want to be #1 at SOMETHING)

darcel and casey meet by working on the same pirate ship. they run into trouble/crash, and get help from the local selune temple where they meet arukin. uhhh idk how they run into viol. the squad gets assigned a job as payment to retrieve some artifact, they run into viol bc shes also after it (some sort of strength boosting thing) and now they r truely the Squad

🌟 1, 4, 9, 27 🌟

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?God honestly, a lot??  I’m fairly generous when it comes to ships unless there’s something Problematic™ or something that I just personally don’t like.  Rivals-to-lovers relationships are pretty hard to get me to like, and if I DO like them it would be because there’s a “friend” stage in-between there.  I probably don’t need to list off all the problematic ships that I don’t get because Icky lmao, but some examples of ones that have tropes about them that I don’t like but I’d never judge someone else for shipping would be Raven x BB, Matt x Sora, honestly basically any Edgy Loner Rival from Digimon x Digimon Girl™ (so like, Koji x Zoey, Christopher x Nene, Rei x Eri, ect) Bakugou x basically anyone (Kiri is okay ig because Kiri isn’t able to be manipulated by Bakugou, other Bakusquad members may be similar but idk, but I think that Bakugou has a LOT of shit he needs to work on before he should even be shipped with someone like Iida or Todoroki, and honestly Kiri deserves better too because Kiri isn’t a therapist and Bakugou has a long way to go before becoming a non-toxic person), SasuSaku, Allura x Lotor, and uhhh…god I’m sure there are way way more but that’s just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

4. Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?*Well I don’t think the ones I listed above would count as “NoTP”s because there’s just, really not anything *that* wrong with them (with the exception of like Bak/ude/ku which technically falls under the Bakugou one) and I’m just really over being anti-”anything that isn’t inherently nasty” because shipping drama is fucking stupid.  So I guess I’ll list off the most popular problematic ones in my fandoms- Bak/ude/ku, Slade x Terra (godgodgod gross, I know where people get it from because its in the original comic [slade’s a Bad Dude and Terra is a shitty teenager] but people DEADASS DO THIS WITH TT ANIMATED TERRA AND ITS UGHHHHH STOP THAT YA NASTIES), Sheith (stop), Shidge (stop), Koji x Koichi (STOP), Kari x Tai (STOP STOP STOP), yknow all that jazz- also apparently some people ship the digidestined with their digimon partners?  Which I mean.  I don’t really know where that falls on the problematic spectrum but please don’t do that.  OH, oh, one NoTP from question one that’s def a NoTP - and I’m iffy about how problematic it is if you did like an AU where it was endgame or something but I really do dislike it so ill put it here - is Lotor x Allura.  I didn’t like it to begin with, I tried denying that Voltron was going in that direction with season 5, I thought I was right but I was wrong, BUT Allura is 10000% done with Lotor and thank GOD she is and I don’t believe it’s a healthy relationship on either party’s part.  Idk about age and shit - all I know is I’m not a fan and I’m happy it was killed in the same season it was confirmed in (and god BLESS Allura for sticking up for what she believes in even at the cost of personal relationships, god I love her SO MUCH)  I’m also really not a big fan of SasuSaku but w/e I haven’t seen enough of naruto or boruto to really make a final call on that.

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?This is only a handful that I can think of off the top of my head butWould erase from existence if given the chance:- Mineta (BNHA): he’s a pervert I don’t like him- Jiraiya (Naruto): he’s a pervert I don’t like him, he’s also an adult which is worse (although he only says questionable things to Naruto, not any of the young girls, and he’s not bi he’s definitely straight, but that still doesn’t make it okay) and he’s just an absolute fucking asshole in every single way.  He’s tied with mineta though because Jiraiya at least has some good influences on the plot, but still that’s not enough to justify him.- Onion (SU): NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS THE OTHER TWO, he’s just really annoying (and is it bad I get ableist vibes from him? LIKE I’m not gonna accuse Rebecca here, because if ANYTHING I think Rebecca was trying to make Onion a sympathetic “weirdo” where even if their hobbies are very strange to you, you should still respect them. but I think it falls a little flat and I still just don’t like him)Would kill if given the physical (not legal) opportunity, but I wouldn’t want to erase them from the show: - Slade (TT): *still crying nearly a year after watching the Terra arc* that arc legitimately put me in a depressive episode and I’m not even kidding, the only reason I didn’t feel worse is because I was laughing at myself for getting so upset over a kids cartoon from over a decade ago.  I’m still upset though.- Biomon (Appmon): *more crying* I HATE HIM AND WHAT HE DID TO REI, I’M NOT EVEN DONE WITH THE ARC SO DONT SPOIL IT BUT HHHHWould punch in the face if given the physical and preferably legal opportunity:- Bakugou (BNHA): angry explodey gremlin needs to be put in his damn place- Marcus (Digimon): like not in a mean way because his heart is in the right place but he’s also really annoying.

27. Least shippable character?Honestly gonna have to go with Pidge on this one??  There’s like…no other characters her age.  I hc her as ace/aro but I know some people hc her as a lesbian which is also hella valid (I’m just an imprinting bastard) so I mean that probably doesn’t help but like.  There’s not even anyone I can kinda lowkey ship her with if someone asked me what I would ship her with if I had to pick someone.  It’s weird, there’s not a whole lot of characters like that tbh.

Top five FF games and top ten dergs! c:

SONORA ONE OF THESE IS SO EASY AND ONE OF THESE IS SO HARD ahhhh okay. I’ll do the top 5 FF games before the cut, and top 10 dragons under the cut :3

Top 5 FF Games

(note, these are just my personal favourites)

1. Final Fantasy IX. I just... I have so much love for this game. The characters, the world, the gameplay, the music, the story, the romance, just everything about it is so beautiful and lovely and I love it so so much. It’s so important to me and I just. Ahhh I love IX a lot and I can’t really even put it into words??

2. Final Fantasy VI. This is actually incredibly close to IX, though IX just edges it out for the top spot in my heart. VI is another game where I just love everything about it. Some of the characters are some of my favourite characters pretty much ever, like Terra and Celes (God I love Terra and Celes). The music is beautiful, I love the story so so much and everything about it is just so wonderful. 

3. Final Fantasy IV. One of the first FF games I played!! I still have very fond memories of playing FFIV DS at my grade 8 semi-formal with @pashi instead of doing something boring like dancing or socializing with classmates. I was stuck on CPU. I love FFIV a lot, and it’ll always have a special place in my heart as one of the best

4. Final Fantasy X. My very first Final Fantasy, and gosh does it ever hold a special place in my heart for that. It’s the FF I’ve poured the most hours into. It introduced me to a series of games that helped me get through middle school. It was the game that really got me into gaming in general - I had my DS and I’d play some games on it, but FFX really got me hardcore into RPGs. 

5. Final Fantasy XII. Wow, a slightly unpopular opinion but look, I really love XII? I love the world, I find the music lovely, I adore the characters, and idk it’s just a lot of fun. There’s quite a gap for me between 4 and 5 on this list in terms of how dear to my heart they are - IX, VI, IV, and X are all extremely important games to me and it’s hard to even explain my love for them - but I love XII a lot too? I just find it really fun and I adore Balthier..
