Merlin and Meliodas headcanons because I'm ignoring canon.

They always stay up late and talk, both their sleep schedules are fucked anyway so might as well talk to each other. They don't admit it but it's comforting, since they've known each other the longest out of anybody. The others are high-key concerned but don't intrude.

In the past 3000 years, whenever they run into each other they have the most BRUTAL drinking competition. That leaves them both wasted for the next day (Merlin has a hangover cure but it's about a 50/50 chance she'll give it to him)

Meliodas being Merlin kinda dad 👀 okay don't judge me but I wanted canon to give this to me, but since they didn't I'm giving it to myself. Meliodas sees Merlin as a little sister (maybeee daughter) he isn't really protective over her, he knows she can handle herself. But if she were to get hurt this man would internally freak the fuck out. If she were unconscious Mel would def sit by her bedside until she woke up.

He's kinda concerned for her mental and physical health (he should be concerned about his own but that's to high of an expectation) like shes not outside alot, if it's not for getting things for her research. And she'll neglect her own needs (like food and sleep) when she's really busy with experiments. Also she's depressed (go fight a wall over this, her trivia says she regrets being born) anyway I feel like Meliodas sees himself in her and that really hurts him. He sees she's not doing well because he's literally going through the same thing 😭

Merlin has been there for a few of the Elizabeth reincarnations. Especially in the beginning when meliodas and Merlin found each other again, after the holy war was over. Merlin didn't grow close to any of the Elizabeths. Until she did, it was like she got her sister back for a few years. Then the curse hit and she died. Merlin didn't show a whole lot of emotion but meliodas could see she was so broken after that. Meliodas didn't want to make Merlin even more traumatised and thought only one person should go through this curse so he distanced himself from her alot. And that's why Merlin wasn't there for the other Elizabeths as much.

When Stephen Ambrose’s Band of Brothers came out, Chris’s mom told him that his grandfather was in the book. But when he read it, he was disappointed to see that Doc Roe was only mentioned in it three times.

“And I closed that book thinking, ‘Pop-pop didn’t do anything in the war.’”

Years later, after checking into a hotel for the premiere of the show, he and his family were in shock to hear that episode six was all about his grandfather.

You know, sometimes you just play an otome and go "that's my son" and then he's the mom of the group. It just happens like that sometimes.

Please share the Sims I would be so gracious 🙏

erm I wasn't sure if you meant post them to Tumblr or actually make the Sims public so imma do both.

They definitely aren't perfect but I tried my best!!

And, ofc, here is my account so you can find them. Sorry for the keyboard smash name this is my dad's account from like seven years ago I'm trying to change it 😭

the title is just "Jack and Nurm"

Uhh I used stuff from the packs below, idk if it'll let you download them without these but if it does just change the missing traits/clothes:

Island living

Cats & dogs

Realm of Magic

Holiday celebration

Erm so like yeah!! If anything is inaccurate or you think something would work better feel free to change it! I tried to make them accurate to how I see them, but tbf I do sometimes mix up headcannon and cannon, misinterpret stuff etc, plus it was tricky trying to decide on aspirations n such, there's no "legendary adventurer" or "cartography" themed traits to my knowledge lmao

[silvermeww]

for your Kalosian Woods AU, I have two questions! (1) what’s the direction you’re gonna take Amourshipping/Ash and Serena’s dynamic in? Their friendship along with the romantic subtext felt like it had a lot of potential in XYZ-proper but never really got utilized. And (2) how’re you gonna tackle Showcases? I’ve been meaning to work on a Showcase restructure but I’d love to hear your ideas :D

Hey there!!!!! For the first question, I 100% acknowledge the force of Serena’s crush on Ash in the XY series— even if I did tweak it so that she would fall after meeting him for the first time, watching him train for the Gym and having seen him fall off Prism Tower inspiring her to see him through tinted lens (and how it evolved from the admiration she had for him when they were kids so long ago). While XY anime itself had the weird notion of making everyone down for Ash (a terrifying scene after coming out of the professional haters of BW and literally every series before it) (ngl though I am a believer of the polycule + Bonnie idea lol, it exists in my heart), I can’t deny that side of Amourshipping even if I’m not a shipper myself or even much of a good writer for romantic relationships imo. In my AU I want to show how that love for him grows and eddies throughout the series: from their first meeting to taking up her own dream of showcases to seeing Ash lose himself in his endless hunt for strength— how she puts him on a pedestal because he was the first Trainer she knew, the strongest one she knew, and back then how she didn’t know better, relying on him instead of taking the risks herself and working with other people for a change. You’re absolutely right in the potential their relationship have in XYZ especially; with Serena coming to the tail end of her first Showcase season, ending up in the same place as before but with a totally changed perspective, and Ash fixating more than ever on being the best of the best, distancing himself from everyone else… and of course, all of that feelings and realisations coming to a head in Snowbelle, the Crisis, and the aftermaths. And also having both of them face each other at the end of it all and realising how much changed. I’m not really sure if I’m wording any of this right or if what I’ve said even makes sense heh, especially since I’m not too far ahead in this AU, but their friendship and that romantic subtext is definitely going to play a part in this series, and even if the plot details changes like the weather I’m going to do my best in keeping it as true to its potential as it should be (because a girl can be in love and also grow as a person, in spite and despite and even with it— you’ve just got to find the right angle).

(Also I’m going to have fun with that crush, so it might meet some light-hearted banter and miscommunications and all of that stuff. I mean, hey, these are kids on a journey lol. There are going to be awkward moments for everyone at some point, but they’ll grow past it as with everything else. Also fun memories. :P)

For the second question, wow, I’ve been giving it so much thought lol. I’m nowhere near the Showcases right now (although it is closer than what canon gave us in my AU) and yet it’s all I can do to plan for how it works. I have spitballed a few ideas with friends but for me (so far) I honestly want more of it to be outdoors. Showcases as a whole has this pesky problem of being a one-to-one copy of Contests but ‘declawed’ by having no battles, and it really gets me because if we’re discarding battles then we have to actually redefine Showcases as a whole— because the battle portion is the ultimate showing of precision and control with your Pokémon and their moves, which is what Contests are all about. Especially with AG and DP, we see examples of atypical Appeal rounds with Harley going for a more terrifying show of power, while Kenny (as :/ as a character as he was) goes for showings of strength— even though they are not ‘beautiful’ they still get to pass, because it really is about how your bond can perfectly translate to moves that can command the audience and grab their attention, naturally highlighting the Pokémon. With Showcases though, to me, they are more about creativity— about how a Performer can work with their Pokémon to get past certain obstacles which are based off a certain characteristic the Kalos Queen should have (the Theme round or whatever it was called lol) and then the Freestyle showing off what they uniquely bring to the table, their own brand, what they want to be remembered by (in which I thought that they could bring props to that originally but eh, that’s what my AU is for!). Sheesh, I went through such a big rant and I still feel fired up heh, but ig this is to say that since Showcases are about creativity, the outdoors location would be a great way to show how they deal with everything. On a sunny day, would they use Grass or Fire Types? Would they call out a Rain Dance and form a rainbow? Of course they wouldn’t actually have an open venue if it’s raining or snowing, but in different terrains can you see the characters stand out, I feel like. Also giving all sorts of Pokémon room like Flying or Ground. I have a bunch more ideas of course, about it being connected to PokéVision (still mad about how that concept got dumped) and having small events where people can get to know the up and coming Performers, getting hints for the Theme section so we don’t get the most unbalanced group of people and have a real competition (that always bothered me ngl), as well as other tweaks to that whole system. Showcases can be good in their own light, it’s just the rep of it being baby ‘only girls’ Contest (still thinking about the girls bit ngl) along with the stupid popularity bit of it (not that the concept is bad in and of itself, just that it should have a place and not be the be all end all of passing to the next stage) (it’s only good for the Freestyle, can I say that?) that makes it flop. Also because it came in so late and left so early. And the rivals kind of sucked because they weren’t given any time to grow. And the way Serena wasn’t challenged enough through them. So basically, I’ve got A Lot of thoughts about it and it’s going to be a headache to go through because it desperately needs a redesign to be viable in any way. But that’s the fun bit about an AU, isn’t it heh. Tell me about your ideas, I’d love to hear about them and thank you so so much for the ask!!! :D <33

i sense how on the contrary, when moon is in Zeph’s local group the members will all go ‘omg youre actually letting us do this’ or be surprised of her leniency with almost anything(or if she gets upset she wont be yelling her ass off and will try to remain calm), because of how Zeph would usually be so strict with em and they didnt expect better

see- first you gotta understand that the chancla doesn't really Hurt the iterators. while they definitely can feel through their puppets, those things are made to be sturdy (throw a normal or singularity bomb into Pebs' chamber,he's fine, i know he just doesn't have health but worldbuilding is worldbuilding so i guess a fully functional iterator is fine with blackhole into the head). it maybe stings for a sec but it's not worse than gettin pinched (also where did you get that she yells at em, she's only exclaimed so far i think. if you check how she handled Innocence, that's how she generally goes about it- no yellin for the sake of puttin 'em in place, she's just venting out her frustrations into the air)

the Point of the chancla is to get the target's unwavering attention so she can talk some sense into them WITHOUT using the senior privilege which is far more invading since it cuts straight through their systems and forces the juniors to stop everything to pay attention. these things are giant supercomputers! they are going to have a different perspective on what counts as "too much"/"too bad" than us humans! it isn't used to limit what they are doing unless the thing they are gon do is explicitly threatening to their safety, the limiting is what the Senior Privilege does!

in that lil comic with Pebs, Suns, Nish, Inn and her, she doesn't actually even hit Nish in the last panel, the chancla is only supposed to suddenly appear from behind next to his face n he gets startled + drama queen points. i've admitted in the tags of it that i gave up on the last page so i don't blame anyone for not gettin that since i haven't put enough effort into communicating it

with what she's doin back in her own group, she Needs to be this strict if she wants her plan of keeping everyone reliably long-term safe to work

and her groupmates would undeniably miss her. they love her! they don't want some lenient stranger without constant spice to her instead of their ramshackle beloved Azzie!!!!

Sowing seeds of discontent and disharmony by hanging up on my parents birthday phone call the second my mom asked if I gained weight. Hope that sits badly on their minds while they think about how that's the first call I've engaged with them in 2 months and it was for the dogs birthday. Dad scrambling to text me for my mom that she didn't mean it. Like fuck I told her I've been having a rough month and day. She couldn't keep it to herself that badly. Fucks sake

[danidoesathing]

A headcanon of mine is that, contrary to what Heimerdinger claims in episode 4, the Arcane version of Stanwick Pididly was actually just as horrible as his League Counterpart. In my mind, Arcane-verse Pididly still did utterly terrible things under the table and plagiarized his students' research: he was just able to hide it via a combination of an excellent reputation in the Academy, taking full advantage of Heimerdinger's naiveté/ignorance, and in general being more subtle. (Heimerdinger dismissed the rumors because he thought they were trying to destroy the reputation of someone he considered a good man and dear friend-and Pididly's death led to him idealizing the man even further, because he doesn't like to speak ill of dead colleagues.)

Basically, I see Arcane-verse Stanwick Pididly as "Madarame if he actually got away with it".

ooooh yeah i was always confused about that scene with Stanwick's memorial in ep 4 because like. yeah its a nod to the lore and way to show things this version of the world and the characters were going to be vastly different than the game's canon, but it still felt weird to me how long they lingered on it. like hey heres a guy from the lore! he's dead here. he was kinda ok here allegedly but rip loser. anyway.

it makes a lot more sense that it's more an example of Heimerdinger's naivety and willing ignorance. the fact that the bastard was praised and got statue despite all the awful shit he did. he gets to be remembered as this great teacher when that legacy is built on the back of the people he stole from.

(somehow i doubt that if the same thing happened to Viktor in this timeline, heimerdinger would do much for him either. i could easily see him saying "oooh well uh. sorry i cant help my hands are tied :/ sorry about your life's work tho". At least we know this Jayce would've ripped Stanwick a new asshole, so maybe for his sake its better he died before he could.)

I love the idea of Mage Viktor having multiversal beef with Stanwick after the shit he pulled in the league timeline. like oh you thought you were just stealing credit from this zaunite student and think you're safe from the consequences? well newsflash asshole he became a multiversal god wizard of the arcane in a few other timelines and he still hates ur guts so he kills you in every universe. he's infamous spiteful and holds grudges like its a sport. he has a rule against interfering with timelines with the exception of 1. saving his soulmate and 2. killing your ass. that second one isnt necessary to his plan he just fucking hates you forever and ever. get fucked lmao

[magistralucis]

Reading Severed again. I am noticing, more strongly this time around, just how thanatically obsessed Obyron is as a character - for him, death defines everything, not just the question of what to do about Zahndrekh. His lychguard phalanx, his insistence in referring to humans (e.g. the Callidus assassin) as 'mortal', citing his own tomb size to describe his status. For someone obliged to not-die for as long as possible, Obyron is rather particular in that he seems to view death as a welcome enemy, a salvation which hurts then stops hurting. He's always ready to embrace it, and he's really sad about it, and neither sentiment stops the other. The best gift he has to offer to his lychguard friend (Neb) is to let him die by his side. At the garden, when he saw Zahndrekh slipping, the first thing he actually did wasn't running off in denial - but to claim a memento, slipping right into the ritual of post-mortem remembrance, before he even knew if he'd need it. Bits of his living self forgotten in the void. Always ready to die or let die. Whether Obyron was always like this, or if this was a long-term worldview change caused by Zahndrekh's degradation is debatable, but I wouldn't be surprised if this man was straight-up born grieving

my sister tried to call me/text me last night but it was after 8pm so I was already pretty high so I was like “no.” and didn’t answer but now I’m reading her text to me this morning and I’m so torn between being sensible and not accept her apology OR give her the reaction she fucking wants out of me lmao
