Of course, when I'm trying to sleep at 3am is when I finally figured out how to fix that transition scene that I've been stuck on for months, thank god I have docs on my phone

[axelein]

I think the wiki may be wrong with frosts age tho, it would make more sense if he was in his early 30s at least bc we know that carnival lecroux have known each other for around a decade (its mentioned in one of the eps I believe it's one of the desert one correct me if I am wrong) and he was only taken into his order at about 8 and we have no clue how long he was adventuring on his own or just with gricko

and if the whole gang is in their 30s to forties I would assumed torbek also is as in the episode where they're either in the garden outside the palace or with the mushroom peddlers gricko mentions them all being middle aged and doesn't include torbek meaning he could even potentially be one of the oldest bc of the extra five years

if im wrong abt anything pls tell me btw I just remembered some of this bc I recently watched the eps

After looking at the fanwiki for the ouaw cast, I wanna discuss about something

From what I could gather, Gricko is the oldest with 44 (I rem that he is the oldest tho I'm not sure where his age is mentioned, I might have just forgotten), Kremy is second with 42. We don't have an official age or age range for Gideon, but I imagine that he is around Kremys age and definitely older than Frost, who, according to the wiki is apparently around his 20s? (Again I believe to remember that it was mentioned that he is the youngest, not sure where the age range is from)

My question here is, were does Torbek fit in this?

Somehow I find it difficult to estimate his age, both before and after he joined the party.

He is at least of drinking age (whatever that is for Bugbears) and that for a long time before he joined Cranival Lecroux. But he also doesn't seem like he would be older than Kremy, and I'm only guessing that because he calls him "Mr. Kremy", that might just be a form of formality, but eh whatever.

And now, we are talking about how he was I in the Feywild for 5 years, but I believe that it was said that it has been at least 5 years, it might have been longer.

I might be dumb and it was mentioned somewhere but I couldn't find anything specific about his age.

Part 2

a/n: this one is probably 40% smut parts here. Pregnant sex is the bees knees, speaking from experience. A 💋 will mark where it starts and ends in case you want to skip it. There will definitely be a part 3 lol

BabyDaddyToji was enjoying your pregnancy more than you were.

For starters, and not to be crude but the sex was unmatched. Toji had a thing for cumming inside of you raw before but now?? With the only motivation not to no longer being relevent, there wasnt a day where Toji didnt want to be inside of you.

Granted, he wasnt jumping your bones 24/7. Especially in the beginning. He let you set the tone for that based on your mood. And it was rough in that first trimester. It seemed like as soon as you confirmed the pregnancy , every symptom in the book hit your ass like a mack truck.

You slept majority of the day.

You spent many mornings, afternoons and evenings face down in the toilet.

Your mood was unpredictable, although you did your best not to crash out and frighten Megumi or take it out on Toji.

Even when you did, Toji didnt take it personally.

You’d been snippy with him all night over the smallest things.

He closed the door too loudly when he came in the bedroom, not helping your hormonal headache whatsoever. When he asked you how you were feeling, it was returned with an attitudinal “How the fuck do you think I feel? I cant eat. Im always tired. My back hurts. My head hurts. The dog’s wont stop barking..” you trailed off. Toji approaches where you were now sitting up at the edge of the bed, bent over with your face in your hands.

You were a mess. Your hair. Your skin. You just felt gross and overly emotional, something that was so unlike you. Toji knew it, but unlike you, he at least understood why.

The tears were already flowing by the time he joined you on the bed, reaching for your hands to pull away from your face.

“N-no Toji....” you sniffled, attempting to hide yourself from Toji as he gripped your wrists gently. He smiled as you fought against his strength pointlessly , and he pulls you into him for a hug he knew you needed.

Mind you, Toji was far from perfect. There were plenty of times when he didn’t know how to comfort you or the right thing to say at the right time. But being with you over the years improved his sense of compassion and empathy towards others, meaning you were no exception.

Toji rubbed your lower back, pulling your body as close as he could.

“Im sorry, baby. Seems like today is kicking your ass..” he says with his lips in your messy hair. You chuckle dryly at the sentiment, sniffing back the snot threatening to dribble from your nose.

“Yeah.” You sigh. Toji hums against your crown, slipping his fingers under the elastic waistband of your leggings. Not in a suggestive or sexual manner, just to hold you better. He sat with you for a few seconds in silence before asking you if you wanted him to get out so you could rest.

“No…” you mutter, clutching his t-shirt. You gave in to his embrace and nuzzled his chest, your breath stuttering from the sudden rush of emotions. Toji smirks.

You were so cute when your were stubborn.

In other news…

Your body was gradually changing. Too much in appearance , although your tits were gigantic now, but more in how you felt and responded to your environment.

For starters, nothing tasted or smelled the same, in good and bad ways alike.

The smell of cooking/ grilled meats? ❌

The scent of certain cleaning products and laundry detergents?✅

Megumi’s dogs? (Although you still loved them to pieces) ❌

The sweet and savory combo of pizza and strawberry toaster strudels stacked on top of eachother with the frosting and marinara sauce melding together? ✅

The smell of Toji’s favorite instant ramen? ❌

Eggs? ❌

Yogurt? ❌

Chocolate? ❌

The scent of anything Toji related? His cologne? His after shave? His sweaty shirts straight from the gym? ✅✅✅

But despite all of that, especially once the sickness and exhaustion began to taper out as you entered the 2nd trimester, you were horny.

Like VERY horny, tracking back to the opening statement..

And fuck, Toji loved it.

💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

He’d barely made it inside after returning from dropping Megumi off at school before your hands were at his belt.

“Whoa..” Toji’s brows shot up as well as his hands when you made quick work of undoing his pants and pulling his dick out. He wasnt even hard yet and he still felt heavy in your hand as you stroked him slowly.

Lips at his neck and your other hand pushing his shirt up, you mumbled against his skin.

“I want you so bad it hurts..”

And it did. The spike in hormones, coupled with the increased blood flow down there made everything feel 10 times more intense. All Toji had to do was kiss you and you felt your inner thighs become slippery against each other from his wet you were. After a simple ‘brb’ smooch on his way out the door to take Megs, your clit was engorged and your gummy walls clenched in need of him.

You tried rubbing one out but you were too frustrated to get yourself there.

You needed release.

You needed him in the worst way.

Toji groaned as your expert touch had his dick jumping and swelling to life with every stroke of your hand.

“Hurts?” He frowns at your choice of words. You paused trying to undress him to take Toji’s hand and guide under your large sleep shirt to cup your sex. You had soaked through the fabric of your panties and just Toji’s touch had your walls pulsing.

“Fuck..” he exhaled,taking the initiative to rub your puffy clothed lips as if to sooth you. But all it did was rile you up even more.

“See?” You whimper and Toji cusses under his breath again.

“Shit, babe…How are you always this fucking wet? Hmm?” He tilts his head, now the one taking the reigns.

“Toji..” your breath hitched, breaking and stalling as the rough pads of his fingers rubbed yiur clothed pussy. His fingers found tiny hill of your clit pressing through your panties and he circles it slowly. You gripped his flexing forearm desperately, breathy moans leaving you as your back collides with the wall adjacent to the front door, with Toji’s height eclipsing you in his shadow. He speeds up his antics, all while pressing his lips to your pulse in a gentle kiss.

By the way you keened in his ear, Toji was sure of one thing.

“Gonna cum right here? Right now?” He asks, strumming his middle and index over your civered clit faster. You nod with you mouth agape, digging your nails into Toji’s arm.

“Yesyesyesyesyesbabyplease..fuck..”

Your knees buckled as the wave of pleasure washed over you, a gush of slick staining the your underwear. Anyone walking by outside definitely heard your cry of ecstasy, but Toji never gave a damn about his neighbors.

“Shit..c’mere” he pulls you towards him by the throat for a sloppy breathless kiss, licking into your mouth and catching every moan off your tongue as he rubs your sensitive folds over your drenched panties.

Without warning, Toji picks you up like you weigh nothing to carry you in the room, tossing you on the bed to fuck the ache out of your pussy until it was damn near time for Megumi to get out of school.

But as you began to show around week 14-15, Toji was more mindful of how he handled your body. You assured him that you could take it and encouraged him to go harder, but it was pointless. He was just too damn big and you seemed way too fragile to be bent in half and pounded the way he used to.

The tenderness was welcomed in exchange though..

As much as you loved your belly, you hated how it blocked your view of Toji eating you out. Watching his tongue glide over your puffy lips and clit made you even wetter and Toji lapped it straight from the source. He groaned at the taste of you. Not that he didnt love your pussy’s flavor before you were pregnant but there was something more intense about it now. Even your scent was more potent and addicting, having him thinking about burrying his face between your legs all damn day.

Toji ate your pussy like his life depended on it, swirling his tongue over the hood of your clit and flicking its underside in the way he knew would make you shake.

“Mmmhmm” he moaned against you, hugging your thighs and caressing your baby bump affectionately.

You’d attempted to crane your neck to get a glimpse of what he was doing in the beginning but now you just surrendered to the fact that you wouldnt be seeing anything down there without a mirror for a while.

That was ok though.

Allowing yourself to focus only on what Toji’s lips and tongue did to you made cumming on his face most enjoyable for the both of you.

💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

“Are you ready to know the sex?” your doctor asks from behind the monitor. You glance at her in surprise, even though you knew the question was coming.

Toji hated that he couldnt be there and damn near walked out on a job if you hadnt convinced him to stay and focus.

But you really wished he was here.

“Could you write it down and put it in an envelope for me?” you asked, doing your best to keep your gaze from traveling over to the big mounted screen on the wall, and your doctor obliged.

That way when you took it to the bakery and asked them to pipe the corresponding color frosting in a pre made jumbo cupcake, it would be a surprise both you and Toji could share.

Summary: In which you find out loki’s secret and he fears your reaction.

Pairing: loki x reader

Genre: fluff ,maybe a hintt of angst

W/c: 928

A/N: saw someone talking abt jotun loki and my brain went brrrrr.Wrote this at 5/6 in the morning on 0 sleep so apologies in advance!If yall liked it id love to hear your thoughts

Marvel MasterList

A frost giant.unbelievable.

Loki stood in odin’s vault,hands firmly gripping the handles of the casket. He watched as his skin changed to an icy blue,an equally icy chill running down his spine. The all father had conveniently fallen into the odin-sleep.

“Leaving me when i need him…typical” he said to himself. It wasn’t like he had an audience and with him being the acting ruler,and his mother being in his ‘father’s’ chambers, he needn’t fear intrusion.

The only person aware of his little secret,who was awake anyway, was his mother and he intended to keep it that way.for as long as he could.

Eliminating thor would guarantee him the throne and by destroying jotunheim,he’d garner enough of the public’s love to hopefully keep his throne,should his secret come to light.

‘Does heimdall know?’ He wondered to himself.

‘No matter,He can be dealt with if necessary”

Loki was so lost in thought that he missed the,

“There you are!” You huffed out.

You marched on upto him and noticed he wasnt…himself.

At this sudden revalation, you started taking quieter,more measured steps towards the boyfriend-shaped figure in front of you.

You let out a tentative “loki?” To which he jolted, his hands immediately letting go of the casket and his now-red eyes staring at you with both surprise and slight fear. Not fear of you,but the fear of being discovered.

“Y/n, dont…dont do that.” He said letting out a breath he didn't know he’d been holding in. And when you didn’t reply, instead merely staring at him in bewilderment, he suddenly remembered how he looked. He stumbled backwards, his hands flying to brace himself against the stand of the artefact behind him.

His finger gently brushed against the casket and the fading blue returned once again.

Noticing this, he pulled his hands to his front.clasping them and lookin on at you,awaiting your reaction.

What would you do? Yell at him? Leave him? Threaten to tell the rest of asgard?

All the worst possibilities ran around his head and he began to tear up.

He was broken out of his turbulant thoughts by your hand brushing against his cheek.

He was shocked, to say the least.

Of all the reactions he’d thought up,this wasnt one.

He leaned into your touch,fearing this would be the last time he would feel it,your soft cold hand against his wretched skin.

“What is this loki?” You ask in a whisper,staring at him with not fear,not anger,but wonder and curiosity.

You were now stood quite close to eachother not impossibly so, but quite.

“I-“

“Were you cursed?”

“In a manner of speaking…y-”

“Does it hurt?”

You knew what he was,you’d seen frost giants before so it wasn’t illiteracy that made you disregard his current state.

You really were asking him if he was okay as he stood before you, a blue monster,kin to those you’d fantasised about killing in your youth…

Was this real?

He needed to know it was,so he spelled it out for you,

“Y/N,im a Frost giant.”

He let out in a voice laden with melancholy,regret and was that fear you heard?

“I know” you merely replied as you traced the patterns on his skin.

At this he pulled your hand away and held it.

“What do you mean you know?! Y/N im a monster! Dont you understand!”

Your expression shifted to one of annoyance,another unforseen reaction.

“I understand quite clearly loki.”

“Then why haven’t you-”

“Why haven’t i run out screaming? Cursing you? Why havent i tried to kill you?”

His silence told you that was exactly what he was about to ask, more or less.

You sighed before stepping towards him and placing his hand on your shoulder,he flinched but didn't move otherwise.

You took this as your go-ahead and wrapped him in a hug.

You stayed there for a good three minutes in silence before saying,

“Loki,i dont give a single ratatosk whisker if you’re a jotun.i love you.”

You pulled away at that to look him in the eyes and saw the tears forming there.

As they fell from his eyes,you caught them with your thumb and placed in on tongue.

Now it was his turn to look at you in confusion.

You waited a beat before saying, “for a jotun you cry asgardian tears.”

He smiled at that,scoffing at your antics.

“You’re ridiculous”

“Yeah well im also yours so get used to it” you said as you went in for another hug and this time he hugged back holding you like you were the most precious thing in all the nine realms,and to him,you were.

“Are you sure?” He whispered out,almost like he hoped you wouldnt hear.

“Always.And never forget it” you said,pressing a soft kiss to his lips which had him chasing yours as you pulled away.

“Why did you come down here anyway?” He asked finally realising it was rather odd for you to have come to the artefacts vault;unless there was a purpose for your visit that is.

“Ah yes, Frigga was calling you.” You said pulling away and pulling him by the arm towards the exit.

“Alright then” he said as he let you drag him out of the chamber that held his secrets. You really were something else,and he’d never been more grateful for anyone in his entire life.

Weiss smiled as she looked out at Beacon through the window of her family’s airship, two years of training and exams had practically flown by. And she couldnt be any more nervous. She was sure she belonged at Beacon, and the flight from Atlas was long enough that she was able to change into something that fit her better for a first day at the academy so she wasnt worried about how people would see her. No, her worry was with the strange powers that she had trained with for the last two years, still unable to control them well. She was glad she was able to keep them hidden during the exam her father had administered for her to prove she could attend Beacon, but even then it wasnt easy to explain why her weapon had frosted over or the flames that came in her eyes. 

Even as the airship landed, she couldnt help but run her fingers over the gloves she wore in an attempt to hide her powers. Not that they helped, but they certainly helped her feel better. Once the airship went still, she gathered her bags and started to make her way to the Beacon courtyard. 

“Would you like any help, Master Weiss?” Klein asked as he stayed near the door to the airship. 

“I can handle it, Klein,” Weiss answered. “But… thank you. I am going to miss you while I’m here.” 

Klein nodded and gave her a smile. “You know how to reach me if you need anything. And that includes if you need any assistance with doctors here.” 

“I think I can handle that on my own, but… I’ll keep that in mind. And I’ll keep in touch.” 

“Please do, Miss Weiss.” 

A smile crossed Weiss’s lips upon hearing Klein’s words, glad that he still accepted her no matter what. It was a comfort to hear, almost taking away the nervousness that she felt as she made her way towards the cafeteria for orientation. At least, that was the plan until she felt someone run into her and knock her over. Weiss picked herself up with a groan, only to be met with one of the students standing over her and offering a hand. 

“I’m sorry, I didnt see you there.” 

Weiss took the girl’s hand and stood up, dusting herself off before glaring at the girl. “Dont you know what you could’ve done?!” 

The girl rubbed the back of her head. “I… dont know what you’re referring to.”

“You could’ve caused an explosion with dust!” Weiss yelled out as she started to pick up some of the vials that had spilled out from her bags. She inspected the vials and made sure everything was still securely closed before packing them away. “You’re lucky nothing’s loose. Even as a powder its still volatile.” 

“You’re the one who needs to pay attention then. How’s anyone supposed to know you have that much dust?” 

“W-well… I-I… Most people know who I am!” 

“I dont.” 

Weiss took a deep breath to try to calm herself as she finished putting away her dust vials. She could already feel the familiar surge of the powers inside her as her eyes started to sting from the heat of flames that wanted to appear. “I’m Weiss. And you are?” 

“Ruby,” Ruby answered with a smile. 

“You should still pay attention where you’re going.” Weiss paused as she picked up one last vial and looked it over. It was unlabeled but certainly looked more like something you’d get from a doctor. “I dont remember this one-” 

“That’s because its mine!” Ruby said as she snatched it away. 

Weiss frowned a bit, but let it go. If it was Ruby’s, then there was no sense in getting angry at her snatching her own vial away. Though, she still thought it was rude. She finished making sure the bags were back on the trolly correctly and tightened up a few straps to keep things in place. “It was nice to meet you, but I do need to make my way to orientation.” 

“A-actually, could I come with you? I just got here, but… I do feel a little lost about where to go.” 

“Lost? How could you be lost-” Weiss pinched the bridge of her nose and took a deep breath as her voice strained to keep from yelling. It was just her luck that she’d run into someone so ill-prepared to be at Beacon. “Arent you a bit young to be here?” 

“Yeah, but professor Ozpin offered me a spot here after stopping a dust robbery.” Ruby fidgeted a bit while she adjusted her backpack. “I guess I ended up a bit too excited and forgot where we’re supposed to go for orientation. Though, it doesnt help that Yang left me too.” 

“Fine, you can follow me but then we go our separate ways.” 

“Thanks!” 

Weiss rolled her eyes a bit as she felt Ruby pull her into a hug. Once she was let go, she grabbed her trolley and started moving forward towards the cafeteria. Her steps started to slow as she looked around at all the other students around her, her eyes lingering on the girls she saw. Most of them were wearing skirts or pants that let them move around, and those that werent seemed to have weapons that let them sit still at range and far away from combat. She couldnt help but look down at her own clothes feeling ill prepared in her own right. Sure her combat gear was tailored to her body, but it felt… lacking when she thought about it. It still felt like something she was expected to wear to be her father’s heir. 

Ruby put a hand on Weiss’s shoulder. “Everything okay? Your eyes look like they’re burning.” 

Weiss quietly pulled out a hand mirror and looked at her eyes, heart nearly stopping when she saw the flames in her eyes. At least it was only the flames. She wasnt sure she was ready to try to explain anything else like ice forming or burning someone’s clothes. “Y-yeah, its my…uh.. m-my semblance,” she lied. “Something about getting emotional makes it manifest differently.” 

“Sounds like Yang’s. Her eyes change to red when she gets angry or uses hers.” 

“Its not really like that, but… I guess that’s close.” Weiss closed her eyes and took a few moments to try to shut off her motions like she trained herself. No anger, no fear, no nervousness or extreme joy, just calm. Nothing to allow her powers to channel themselves. She waited until the sting in her eyes was finally gone before opening them again. “The cafeteria is just ahead. You should be able to find it without too much issue.” 

“Arent you going there too?” Ruby asked. 

“I have a call I need to make beforehand. You go ahead and maybe we’ll see each other again.” 

“Maybe huh?” 

“Just go.” Weiss relaxed a bit as she watched Ruby walk off, not quite sure if she made a friend or an annoyance. Either way, she didnt seem to recognize her name just like everyone else around didnt seem to recognize who she was. And while that should’ve made her feel disappointed, it did make her feel better that she could try to be herself without anyone thinking it was strange. 

She made sure to get off the main path to the cafeteria and stood next to a tree as she pulled out her scroll and dialed quickly. Her heart started to race as she heard Klein answer the call, her voice went quiet as she spoke. “Can… can you put in an order for a new combat outfit to be ready in a week? I’ll send you the details, but… I think I’m ready.”

Hello! I have a question for the ending od the LOtL.

At the end Ciri is talking to some guy that geralt and yen r married happily while wiping away tears... that guy tho.... wasnt he the guy at thr beginning of LotL that was so toxic in that elven realm? Sorry english is not my first language so I try to understand it.

And what are the arturian legend stories in it? With Kobus de Ruijter and stuff? For me they feel a random.

Could you please explain?

Thanks in advance!!

sorry this is a bit late! several things to untangle here. this is kind of my "5-minute version" so bear with me :)

at the end of lady of the lake, ciri is speaking to galahad, who is one of the grail knights from arthurian legend (although, in the witcher at least, it's clear that galahad is the grail knight, singular, and as such he is the one to meet ciri).

ciri, because she is the potent and re-activated lara gene, symbolizes the grail, which is this symbol of purity and rebirth. this is why everyone in the saga is after her, for the prospect of her inborn powers saves; however, no one asked the grail herself how she feels about that.

at the beginning and at the end of lady of the lake, galahad is with ciri in the arthurian legend realm (a story-world, if you prefer to imagine it that way).

this is indeed a separate world than the main one of the witcher (i.e., the one with the continent, the one with 90% of its landmass in its northern hemisphere, the one which is going to face the white frost in around three millennia from now).

however, the arthurian world is not the only world which ciri enters, as her powers allow her to travel to any world and any story. this is the fun postmodernist aspect of the book in which ciri can go to any time and any world, appearing in any story. including our own. these worlds are neither near nor far from one another, which is why they are said to exist in the "Spiral".

amongst these other worlds ciri travels to include the world of the elves (the aen elle), which is where ciri is unable to escape from for a long time; first being held in a tower by a lake, and later living in the palace at tir na lia. this is where tower of the swallow ends and where chapter 5 of lady of the lake takes place.

the "toxic guy" you are referring to may be avallac'h, who she meets at the end of tower of the swallow, which, is pretty funny to call him some "toxic guy" but to ciri's perspective, would probably be pretty accurate.

why this melding with arthurian legend? sapkowski's interpretation of the modern fantasy genre is that it, at its core, is based around the legend of king arthur and the quest for the holy grail. by merging witcher with the grander story-continuum and the "original" form of fantasy, arthurian myth, he humbly submits his work into the fantasy canon, as he ends the story and lays it to rest. (only then to resurrect it when he feels like throwing us some midquels or prequels now and again).

kobus de ruyter is just a random redanian soldier from chapter 8, who appeared in condwiramurs' dream in chapter 2 by shouting "the eagles! the eagles!" which is also a reference to lord of the rings but in context refers to redanian reinforcements arriving as they fight the nilfgaardian invasion at brenna. the purpose of using minor characters like this just adds to the alive feeling of the world.

he is not connected to the real world or another story-world in any way such like galahad and avallac'h are, but you may also be picking up on two things: sapkowski gives his fictional characters real-life european names, and also includes (invented) historical figures in the worldhopping sequence in lady of the lake. but just because a figure has a real-life name does not mean they are supposed to be from the real-life world.

now i have to know what songs everyone sings and what they sound like!!!! i personally think emma frost would sound like holly and sing turning tables (i know she wasnt in the og post but i know it in my heart this is her), and then scott is totally finn singing losing my religion. and all of the boys can sing man in the mirror (such an underrated performance, again scott is finn).

i literally cant believe this hasnt been done before. youve just opened a realm of possiblities for shitposts.

Ahh, this is a lot of fun. I just had to answer this one right away. Let’s see.

Warning: this is a very long post. If you don’t know anything about Glee, it might not make sense. I didn’t include every single X-Men, as I can’t really imagine what they’d sound like. If you come in here and say, “where’s (blank),” I will put thumbtacks in your shoes.

If you have your own ideas, I’d love to hear them.

I feel like this goes without saying, but this is only focusing on the voices and performances, not the characters themselves. There would be some crazy comparisons, if that were the case.

I can see Emma sounding like Holly. If she was in Glee, she’d probably be a Cheerio, or a substitute teacher like Holly. Turning Tables is a good fit for Emma (definitely singing it about Scott or something like that). I can also hear her as Cassandra’s voice. She’d kill the Americano/Dance Again cover.

Yeah, I imagined Scott sounding like Finn, or maybe Blaine (only for his Cough Syrup performance, which I think fit Scott). I mostly imagine Finn because Jean probably sounds like Rachel, and Rachel always overpowers Finn in duets. That makes sense for Scott and Jean.

Following that line of thought, Jean’s song is definitely It’s All Coming Back To Me Now. But actually… Jean could also have that slow jam voice that Shelby has (Jean sounding like Elsa from Frozen is so funny to me). I just think I Dreamed a Dream fits Jean’s character so well. And also, Shelby ate Rachel up in Poker Face. Not my favorite cover from Glee at all, but Shelby sounded nice in it.

Warren would definitely be a Warbler. Hunter’s voice is very underrated, and I can see him doing Live While We’re Young. This may be controversial, but I actually kind of enjoyed the Whistle cover. It’s fun. Warren could pull it off. I can also hear him sounding like Elliott in my head. I never thought I’d hear Adam Lambert sing Marry The Night, but here we are.

Bobby probably wouldn’t be a Warbler, but I think Skylar’s voice matches him a lot. He’d have that bit of texture around the edges. My Sharona isn’t a favorite song of mine, but the energy has Bobby written all over it.

Okay, another Warbler one, I know, but a small part of me can hear Hank sounding like Sebastian (obviously, their characters aren’t anything alike). Part of me imagines Hank having a surprisingly soft voice, and Sebastian’s Want You Back performance is actually kinda good. But I’m going back and forth on it. I can can also hear him as Cooper Anderson. I think if we go with Blaine for Scott instead of Finn, he would do a great job duetting with Hank in Somebody That I Used To Know (one of Glee’s best covers, in my opinion).

Storm is 100% Jane. I can see her having a smooth voice that can easily fluctuate between soft and powerful, and Jane fits that so well. I don’t know why, but I like Glee’s Rather Be performance. I think it fits Storm a lot. That being said, she definitely pulls out the Tightrope performance at some point. She deserves it, it’s so good.

This might be favoritism, because Roderick is probably my top singer from Glee, but I think his Mustang Sally performance fits Gambit a lot. I really wish Roderick (and all of the season 6 kids) got more performances. I think Gambit would have a bit of that powerful soul sound and texture to his voice. And then he can sing Take Me To Church with Rogue as the harmony.

You know, Rogue can go a couple of different directions. I can actually see her being Quinn in Unpretty or Bree in Nasty, but maybe with a bit more twang. She’s a Cheerio in my head because Magneto would 100% send her to spy on Glee Club.

Kitty probably sounds like… Kitty. Maybe she’d do Everybody Talks with Piotr, who I’m back and forth on for sounding like Jake (if you can see the vision, Piotr would kill Jake’s Let Me Love You cover). But I can also see her being Britney in Me Against the Music, with Illyana as Santana. I can see Illyana sound like Santana, but also…

… Follow me with this. I feel like Illyana would be one of the top singers. She’d probably hide it, but she has a voice of an angel. And for that, she sounds like Mercedes in my head. I just think she has the ability to pull off that gospel sound and just chooses not to. Kitty would probably walk in on her singing And I Will Always Love You and be like, “bitch, you gotta join Glee club.” She’d kill Bust Your Windows, too. I just think Illyana has a lot of energy and power behind her voice.

I’m torn with Kurt. He could totally pull off Bryan Ryan in Piano Man or Dream On (it’s just someone has to be cursed with sounding like Will Schuester), but I kind of imagine him as Artie, too. If we go that gospel sound for Kurt that Artie has, I think he’d do something sweet like Isn’t She Lovely. But then he could be Rory in I Wanna Go Home. I feel like Kurt could hit some high notes. And he’s also a Cheerio at some point. Wanda convinced him.

Betsy is Santana. I will not elaborate. She just is. Betsy auditions with This Girl Is On Fire and kills it. She’d probably be a Cheerio at some point, too. And she can sing Smooth Criminal with Warren as Sebastian. Objectively one of the best Glee covers.

Jubilee… if she isn’t a joke character like Sugar, then I can actually imagine her sounding like Dani (yes, you heard that right, Jubilee sounds like Demi Lovato in my head… I just think her voice would be very textured). Jubilee would sound so sweet singing Here Comes the Sun with someone like Storm.

Kind of out of nowhere; Sue Sylvester’s Vogue performance reminds me of Moira. I can see Moira filling Ms. Pillsbury role in Glee, but her singing voice sounds like Sue in my head.

Okay, Wanda is either Madison or Tina. I think Madison fits very well, and she can even sing Come Sail Away with Pietro. But she might have a bit of that texture that Tina has. Her song would probably be Because You Loved Me if that were the case. Wither way, she’s 100% a Cheerio, since Magneto runs the cheer team.

Lorna has 2 different voices in my head. Like Wanda, I can see her sounding like Madison, but I kind of think she’d be great at ballads like Sunshine. She’d kill All By Myself, and then have a fun duet with someone in Telephone (maybe Wanda as Rachel, but let’s be for real, Sunshine ate Rachel up in Telephone). Sunshine just sounded so great.

Pietro in my head sounds like Mason. I’m not a bit Pietro fan, but I’ll bless him with the amazing performance of I Want To Break Free. You’re welcome, Pietro fans.

That’s all I can think of. Again, I’d love to hear your own thoughts.

CHARLES XAVIER X OC pt.5!!!

Part II of post prologue

PLEASE CHECK PREVIOUS PARTS OF THIS STORY ON MY BLOG FOR WARNINGS!!!

AN: DON'T MIND THE RANDOM TENSE SWITCH IN THE MIDDLE! I DON'T WANT TO GO IN AND FIX IT SO JUSt GO WITH IT!! Haha! I'm a terrible writer *facepalm* Also once again, im not sticking to plot so i know that shaw wasnt technically chilling with the rest of them specifically when charles and erik are there and capture frost! And also that the group hasnt really gotten training at this point in time, once again, im pretend that's not the case for the story. 

The past few weeks had been mostly sitting around, occasionally I was actually needed. Usually I felt as though Shaw was flaunting me. Showing off his overpowered mutant ally that little did they know wasn't actually an ally. Even less now that I had actually helped the enemy. That instance being really the only thought going through my head that actually had any substance. It sparked a little fire in me that I hadn't felt in so long. Was it purpose? I hadn't had a purpose in so long, at least not one of my own, and it seemed that just that small act of rebellion was breathing new life into me. To my team, I stayed the same unresponsive and disconnected person I had been for the last forever. Only now, I wasn't actually feeling that way inwardly. I had Charles to thank for that. As weird as that was.

I thought of him often. Unfortunately often meant pretty consistently. I gave myself the excuse that it was about rebelling against Shaw after so many years under his control rather than just Charles. But it was both. 

Currently we were in the car heading to a meeting that Shaw had set up with a russian operative. We had landed in russia about a week ago I was happy to be off the submarine. I was sitting in the middle seat of a sleek black car and I kept my focus on the dashboard in front of me. I didn't want to know what Shaw and this man were planning out so I used my disassociation as a defensive strategy. We got out of the car and made our way through, what looked to be, an entirely abandoned parking garage. We were pretty far away from any buildings so I wasn't sure why it was even there.

 My brain felt itchy all of a sudden. I felt a small shock of adrenaline start up inside of me and I didnt really understand why. I was planning on not listening so I wasn't sure why my body was suddenly so awake. 

Shaw walked forward to the man that was standing just a ways ahead of us. He turned towards me, snapping his fingers signaling for me to follow beside him. I caught up and held my hands behind my back at the ready for my powers.

“Check for others that may be hiding, I don't trust this guy.” Shaw whispered to me discreetly. I flexed my hands behind my back and focused on my surroundings. I felt the blood of each member of my team, of me, of Shaw, and of the man ahead. Suddenly I felt the rushing blood and beating heart of another person, several people, further away but they were here, I knew that. I glanced around but saw no one. I slowed to be able to focus more, something was moving on my right, past shaw in the stairwell. I watched as a head poked out. Charles’, head. 

We locked eyes, mine flashed wide, surprised. That explained why my mind was acting up. Cause he was near and it, for some stupid reason, wanted him to connect with mine again. He looked at me with a glint in his eyes. I looked away quickly before anyone noticed me looking at him. That's when I felt the click of him entering my mind. 

“Was hoping I’d see you here.” his voice told me he was smiling. 

How am I supposed to respond, Shaw’ll hear me. I panicked

“That's alright honey I hear you loud and clear.” He said, somehow reading my thoughts

Oh. I glanced over to Charles who chuckled silently before ducking back behind the walls of the stairs to god knows where

Shaw nudged me.

“So? Jesus May.” He said getting impatient with me. 

In only a split second I had a gazillion thoughts going through my head. Should I say there are more people here? If I don't then he’ll know I wasn't telling the truth when these guys pop out of nowhere. I can't do that, Shaw would be absolutely livid. But charles…

Before I think any harder the words come out “No ones here.”

What am I doing?? Oh god. 

“Good.” Shaw mumbles. “This should go smoothly then.” 

I swallow, thoughts flashing to when charles and everyone else with him would reveal himself and Shaw would know that I was wrong. I could already feel the taste of blood in my mouth and the headache forming.

Shaw shakes the man's hand once we reach him. The rest of Shaw's protege are a little ways behind us. Shaw talks to the man who hands him a yellow envelope that looks rather large. My eyes are flitting around trying to feel out where everyone is and how many there are.

I feel a body, someones blood, seem to charge, the blood in their veins seems to catch fire. I whip around and push Shaw towards the ground and out of the way of a blast that shoots out at us. I hope that me saving his life will give him less incentive to beat me later. Another red beam blows across the space at the man in front of us who goes flying into the concrete wall behind us causing it to crumble and deteriorate. I whip around to see an entire team of basically teenagers coming towards us. I recognize the girl from before but there are several others, all suited in fighting suits and doing surprisingly well coordinated attacks for their age. I feel in my mind that charles is still connected to me and search him out. He's calling orders to the group, they listen to Charles with unwavering trust, I can tell by the way their nervous system relaxes just slightly with his orders, he guides them and helps them to stay alert and on the offense. I wonder what it would be like to have a leader like that.

Wait! I call to him in my head. He glances in my direction but that's the only clue I get that he heard me. 

Shaw is up on his feet yelling at me to do something. I'm still on the ground when another body seems to appear out of nowhere

“Erik! NOW!” Charles’ voice booms across the garage. Suddenly my wrists are clamped together by metal bars that have been torn from the railing of the sides of the parking garage. They fly through the air at me and before I can react have a hold on me. I'm dragged back to the far wall by my wrists. When I make contact my head splits in pain as it bangs against the concrete. Charles winces at me before turning his attention on Azezel fighting him as he flashes around, I worry for a moment that Charles isnt good enough but he seems to manage alright with the help of the other mutants.

 I yank on the binds around my wrists but they have been bent into the wall keeping me stuck in place. Frost yells at me to stop them with my powers but my head is spinning and I can't get a grip on anything but the blood spilling out of the side of my head. I can control blood without my hands but it takes a large deal more concentration and focus than I am able to muster up right now. I try to move that back into my head but I'm slipping in and out of consciousness. 

I groan as I pull on my wrists again but they are pressed firmly against the concrete. The whole parking garage seems to be coming down. There's at least four stories above us that seem to be losing support with each blow shooting across the expansion. I worry that if I can't get out of these binds I'll be crushed under the concrete. 

I cry out for help. My team seems to get farther and farther from me as the fighting goes on. The blood seeping out of the wound on my head spills into my eyes turning my vision red on one side. I feel my mind go in and out of focus and I realize I'm losing too much blood. I gather myself to try and use my powers with my mind otherwise I know I will die here. A deep breath and then I've connected with my own blood, guiding it out of my eye and back into my head, while it moves I take out the impurities it gathered on its way out of my head. I feel every speck of dust from the concrete and push it away from my blood. It swirls as I pull out everything else that shouldn't be entering my blood stream. I begin forming a thick scab to hold the blood inside my head but before I get very much of it done there's another searingly loud bang. This one sends a shock through my body at its proximity and I lose focus so I can make sure It didn't come too close to me. The room is caught in fire and the action is even more distant. I wondered if anyone would come for me once there's a winner. I wondered if there would be a winner. Will Shaw kill them all? Is he going to kill charles? Or maybe… Charles would win. 

Another goran escapes me, the pounding in my head is only intensified as the explosion dies down and leaves me with a loud ringing in my ears. I feel tears coming on though I'm not sure why. Some of the blood from my head wound drips out again but it's significantly less than before and I assume it's good enough to turn my focus on trying to escape the metal pinning me to the wall. I plant my feet against the concrete and give myself a little leverage to stand. Once im stood up, i try to slip my hands out from that angle but nothing budges. I push my feet down to try a little harder but still nothing gives. My foot slips on the dusty concrete and I land back on the ground. I feel my blood trickle down my neck giving me chills and making me light headed again. I can feel myself getting hot as the smoke fills the garage, it slips out slowly through the opening on the sides but it fills my lungs nonetheless. Things are beginning to get hazy again and I can't seem to get a full breath in. Due to the ringing in my ears I can't even tell if there's any fighting anymore. They could have all left and I would not have known. Still I call out 

“Shaw!” I wail. “Frost?” My voice sounds muffled in my head. My head lulls as I lean against the wall to support my weakened state. I feel myself slip down the pile of rubble im leaning against, my shirt tearing and the sharp concrete scraping my back open. I can't tell how bad the damage is as I feel the garage tremble above me. I try calling out one more name, before the smoke in my lungs makes me black out.

SONGS THAT U RELATE TO UR ITERATION . pls . blinking at u .

FOAMS AT THE MOUTH OH GOD SO MANY

definitely the biggest one for the tmnt themselves is “little soldiers” by the crane wives

its difficult to explain in detail Why but a lot of the tmnt’s story in uuau is the fact that their entire existence was doomed from the start , no matter how they used to hold hands when walking through crowded streets so they wouldnt lose each other, no matter how they understood they were the Only mutants around (plus their mom, splinter) so they had to stay together, In The End , one of them becomes their enemy, and they are almost destined to die together because love wasnt enough when they were younger

a song for the general energy of the story however would be “empire now” by hozier !

bc usagi comes from the Future, where the earth had survived a world-ending war, he goes back and fights in the very war that ended everything and created his home ! also the sun is a very important motif in the story , seen as both creator of the new world and destroyer of the old, lots of duality in its power 🫡🫡and this song jusy sounds like a rly epic amv tbh

anddd here are songs for some of the tmnt (plus usagi) that i think represent them very well

usagi:

usagi knows what happens eventually with the war but he keeps fighting the losing battle anyways bc of ? blind hope ? devotion ? having nothing else left to live for since his home wasnt smth he had anymore ? who knows

(i dont have a good singular song for leo whoops)

donnie:

after the 4 turtle brothers went down to 3 , donnie didnt cope well lol ,,, hes emotionally neglected like severely . youngest child moment🤪🤪

(i also dont have a good one for raph whomp whomp)

mikey:

dont mistake the amount of attention to mikey for favoritism i hate this guy and im not explaining his songs but if you do listen to them um . Hope his character becomes more understood

and “army dreamers” is also rly good for this iteration

trying not to spoil much about this iteration but also its kinda impossible to spoil anything bc there is So Much LMAO

[ythmir-writes]

dr. zayne "i'll use my body as payment" and "i always pay my debts" is all bark bark woof woof at first but then i remember his Myths and -

or, what you (i) would like to say the moment zayne decides its a good time to self-sacrifice

i hold his hand tightly, pull him back into a tight embrace because No, you don't have to, you don't have to do this zayne. there is no situation dire enough to come to pass in this world that should warrant that extreme a sacrifice

do you think you going on there and freezing yourself so you can stop a Wanderer attack will make tomorrow a little brighter? do you think its only you specifically who can save us all from the worst case scenario and save the world? dr im-so-brilliant-i-finished-medical-school-and-got-a-license-in-the-time-it-takes-someone-to-sneeze?

i dont want your sacrifice! i dont want to walk on roads paved with your bones. i dont fucking want to live in cities thawing from your frost because you thought unleashing a blizzard only you could do and wiping yourself out in the process would be a brilliant move to protect them. i dont want to take the cup that holds your blood, i do not want to have to look at the world and see you only in memory.

i want you here. i want you holding my hand. i want you poking at my forehead because i didnt bring enough warm clothes again or because i wasnt able to take my meds on time again or because i freaked out you werent calling when you shouldve -

i want to be there to bandage your wounds. i want you bandaging my wounds

you are the most selfless, kindhearted, driven, and dedicated person i know. your bravery is second to none - most infuriatingly so whenever you think you can save even just one soul but please!! dont ever fucking think you have to carry that burden alone.

remember that time you managed to parry that Wanderer attack and reminded me consistently of it for three days? do you remember? because i do! every day. every goddamn day i go out to do my work and you do yours, it all rattles in my head. you told me that i could rest easy because you have my back. that whatever happens, safety is a priority.

you told me that im not fighting alone anymore. i cried at that, remember? and you did too, you sentimental shmuck

so why the hell do you think you have to do it all alone? what kind of mental gymnastics did your brilliant brain do for you to reach the conclusion that its okay to leave me behind when youre out there fighting for the world, for Linkon, for us

for me?

i want you fighting with me, please

please

pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

dont do it. dont go -

let me fight with you too

I discovered you recently and was scrolling through your stuff when I fell in love with your Joker redesign. It’s just so Good! Not only is your art style perfect (for all your art, really) but the thought you put into it was just wonderful. My favorite part were the horns, they just fit so well! I’d love to see any other ideas you have, but really I just wanted to gush about how much I loved it. Thank you!

Aw, that makes me so incredibly happy!!!! As much as I rag on P5's story execution, I do adore all the potential there is to the characters and the potential in redesigns that better fit the character's personalities. I'll repost all the ones I've finished for funsies, but I think now is actually a good time to mention that I'm going to be compiling all my p5 redesigns into a little zine (a re-de-zine haha) with more detailed thought process behind what I was thinking when redesigning them (there wasnt enough blank space for all my notes, or my sketches)! I'll add some blurbs from the document I have in [these] brackets! I actually focused heavily on his mask, so I'm super relieved and excited that it's what you liked most about it!

JOKER

[[Aside from Akechi’s prince outfit (which I think was flawlessly executed), I knew that I couldn’t allow myself to butcher Joker’s design- especially since I intended to remake his mask, despite his mask being perfect as it is (and was also my base for the Black Mask design before I decided to remake everyone else). // My main concern was to make the outfit represent all of PT’s, not just Joker, but I also wanted to highlight Akechi’s part in playing as his foil. As such, where Akira has a heart shape connecting all phantom thieves together by a silver string of fate, Akechi has a distorted red glow that extends chains to weigh him down as well as wings to show his ability to choose his own path.]]

AKECHI [[I wanted to keep his face obscured, but add an option to show himself if he wished. So, a hood helped cover him up for me. It helped me make it feel as though it’s a “lost” part of Robin Hood that still clings on to his Black Mask design- a desire (though weak and decaying) to be a good person underneath it all for someone he once cared about. //

Akechi's chains (from his heart) symbolize his outlook on bonds, and how they tie you down, whereas Jokers symbolize the strength he has with his teammates. I felt like this was a little too sad to write on the concept page. Reading “Goro Akechi has no friends and it manifests in his Black Mask outfit” isn’t the most uplifting sentence you want to stumble across.]] ANN [[Ann was often forced to hold her tongue around Kamoshida in order to protect Shiho, and Shiho in turn tried to do the same to protect Ann. The whip I created for her is a play on the phrase “hold your tongue” showing a lion with it’s mouth open and its tongue hanging out- filled with thorns and ready to be used as a weapon to protect those that she values. One of her biggest weaknesses now becomes her force for change and success, and she ultimately uses her power as a thief to open the maw of the man that told her to be quiet- revealing all his ugly secrets with his own words.]]

FUTABA [[This one doesn't have any notes I can share yet, but she took ages to design, so that's why, lmfao!]]

MORGANA

[[ I wanted to make him blend in more with a classic SMT demon such as Jack Frost, but still distinct enough to stand out as “more than a demon”.

//

Since Morgana is the collective human hope, I think he can take any shape or form. I only retained his cat persona because I wanted to stay true to the original design concept of it being an animal. If I was allowed complete creative form over a “guiding light” however, I think I would base Morgana’s design on Anubis or psychopomps- guides of souls (souls of human hope). The interesting thing about psychopomps is that while Anubis is also an example of one, commonly, so are crows. Meaning, I would have to design Morgana to fit a canine in order to imply Akechi himself could have perhaps had a guide similar to Mona if he was not used to bring about ruin. However, Morgana’s cat aesthetic is tied into Joker’s own traits (sometimes down to mannerisms), so getting rid of the cat persona was not something I really wanted. That, and the fact the last protagonist was based on a loyal dog made it hard for me to choose canine. I would have liked to pull something out of zoroastrianism if possible, but I was not sure how far I could take it before his design became entirely unrecognisable. And the point of a redesign was not to entirely change them to become different characters, but just to play around with different themes to better fit the character and their backstory/feelings/traits.

]]

I really hope this content was fun to read!!!! The next design I have in my WIPS is Yusuke. Honestly, I find Ryuji and Yusuke are going to be super challenging, since I ADORE their designs and I genuinely do not want to just touch them up randomly without purpose and happen to downgrade them. Morgana and Ann were my easiest targets haha.

Frieza's analysis #1: Frieza's transformations.

Frieza, our dearest lizard tyrant, is well known for his transformations, one of the most in count. I wanted to look closer to them and determine, why exactly those forms look like such and their functionality.

This post will include 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Final, 100%, Golden/5th, Black, some notes about Cold, Cooler, Frost and even Kuriza.

Lets start with Final form. Frieza's and the others' true form, excluding Cold (questionable). Final form is simple and slick in design, compact, covered with durable layer of bio armor all over the body from birth. Frieza technically is not naked, but rather an armored knight from birth. Colors of said bio armor is usually white, with slightly bluish tint on Frost, and more colorful appearances, like Black on Frost, black and metallic black on Black Frieza, two colors of gold on Golden, possibly purple on Cooler.

Why i assume Frieza is covered in armor and isnt nude? Its based on Frieza's other forms, where same white skin appears as bracelets and chestplate. It is also worth noting that body gems Frieza is known for only do grow on said bio armor as it is case with devolved forms of Frieza and Kuriza, also with Cold and Cooler. Frieza does shown posessinv pink skin underneath the armor so id only naturally assume white skin is second layer. Tho, it is also worth noting that when Friexa transforms from previous forms to 4th, he shatters into pieces, as if true form is sealed within devolved forms, assuming, that pink skin is most likely an outer layer on its own.

It is still unknown what purpose gems serve. More about it on planet deepdive.

Now! Onto other forms, starting with 100%. No. Its not a form, but rather a body state high ki fighters can achieve, including Super saiyan grade 3 and Cell.

Golden form/5th evolution. From Golden Frieza arc we learn that Frieza did picked golden form to show who is superior, assuming, he indeed designed form itself. It also explains why Cooler' 5th form looks so vastly different. Why is that?

Its mostly due to their mentality. Cooler always had an inferiority complex, disliking his brother's achievements, as his father does acknowledge Frieza as superior. Unlike Frieza, Cooler did trained, since he acknowledges the instant transmission technique, using it himself, assuming he unlocked form after training on various planets. His form is massive and probably was plannet to be used on Frieza, since Cooler never shown it to anyone else and probably had before Frieza' defeat. It also shows his desire to be stronger, more intimitading and bigger, showing his inferiority side. Unlike Frieza, who only shown off himself more with golden form, who wasnt much different from his true state, mimicking one color he could not defeat. Who was stronger than strongest. Super saiyan. Frieza probably took gold to own it, to show that this color of defeat will be his color of victory. Only negative trait he got rid off with Black form, accepting his true self. Same acceptance also appears during first form.

Now to lesser forms.

Third, being the first, was the very first time Frieza sealed onto in itself, sealing his power. It is wild, beastlike, probably done in earlier ages. Instinctive vile nature manifested into monsterlike appearance, to scare off and look more imposing. It could also be due to Frieza' complex of being short, which he himself hates due to mocking. Looking scarier and bigger only makes sense. It is also possibly a trait shared with Frost, since Frost do mirror Frieza and probably as well needed sealing his power. But , unlike Frieza, Frost lacks it, probably never needing it or trained enough to control himself. It is also lacks on Kuriza, who may have been less peaceful kid or never let allowed to have said form. Or maybe never uses it, not liking.

It is also possible third form is Frieza specific, due to how maliceful he was. Frost could simply mirror him.

Second form, second seal. Probably based off Cold, since Frieza does admire his papa, who was leader of strongest army before Frieza, someone most feared. Frieza mimimcking him and basing off power on Cold makes sense, since he does mimicking with superior also with gold.

Now, about Cold. Its highly unlikely Cold has a form stronger than his existing state. We cannot be sure if Cold even has other forms. It may be simply decorative to look bigger and above everyone, since it is tremendously strong. 40 million power level, unlike 1 million of second form. And yet, he still acknowledges Frieza at 60 milliion (true form) to be stronger than him. And when mecha Frieza died at 120 million, Cold simply cowarded and was ready to adopt Trunks for being strong only to sneak attack with blade. Its more of a bluff form with Cold and i doubt he has stronger form. Frost on other hand, lacks this form, probably either skipping it or lacking Cold figure to based it off, only having third under "assault form" name.

As for first form, third seal, Frieza probably accepted his own identity and based it off himself, saving traits he inherited from Cold form. So he is admired and be feared of for being himself, rather than being father's shadow. It is also shared by Kuriza and Frost. Kuriza probably based it off Frieza, his daddy, while Frost probly wanted to be a face of a hero that would br like him himself.

As for mecha, it is just mechanically updated Frieza that uses his full power without powering up.

And no. Metal cooler is not a form. It is an avatar Cooler built after becoming one with Big Gete Star.
