#would it be weird to consider them the dads of an (immortal?) being much much older than them?

[deliriousbean]

Experimenting with how to render stuff and who better to experiment with than them...

[snexy-the-snail]

Are you taking requests?

If so, can you do either like-

Percy pred?

If not then maybe another nico prey pov-

Oh Always I'll take requests!!

Like as much as I love the idea of Percy being a feral protective pred I feel like it would only be possible with an ascension plot- More angsty he doesn't realize he's become immortal until he starts getting the urge to snap up new campers and even his friends. Like could you imagine his horror just one day laying on the beach with Annabeth, relaxed and content and just getting the urge to eat her?

As for the Nico pov absolute- ask and you shall receive anon <3))

This was certainly something.  

Being called to the underworld by his father? Not uncommon, Hades practically pacing in the throne room looking like he was about to combust? Uncommon.  

“Father?” Nico asks cautiously, his footsteps barely making a sound as he approached his father. The shadows spilling from the god receding back into a more human shape, dark eyes fixating on him. If he was any other demigod it might be unsettling, to him however, it was reassuring. “Nico.” Hades voice was reserved, and relieved. He was playing off being completely panicked or whatever the emotion he had been feeling was.  

Nico continued to press closer, soaking in the chill that emanated from the god. Cool like the earth, like shadows and the chill of the night. It was..comforting. “What happened?”  

A silence settled over them both, Nico not stopping until he reached his father’s side. He wasn’t surprised when he was immediately picked up, feeling much like a child as his father’s hands encircled him. More often than not he found that his father would stay more true to his godly height, less human looking when in his own realm. It was something he was more used to seeing than not. He leans back, resting his own hand son the surrounding fingers.  

Judging by the silence he wasn’t going to get a verbal answer anytime soon. He knew what was going to happen regardless. Any time his father got antsy like this he would end up securely tucked inside the god. He could use a nap anyway. He stretches his legs out, looking up the corners of his lips twitching up in a reassuring manner. “Go ahead. You need me and I’m not going to complain.” 

That seemed to be all the permission Hades needed, his form relaxing, shadows oozing off of him as Nico felt the familiar dip in his gut when he was lifted higher. It was hard keeping track of what was shadows and what was genuinely his dad at this point, the darkness seeming all developing. He did say no complaining, so he simply waited humming when the familiar coolness of his father’s mouth rushes over him. It was weird seeing his legs disappear into the darkness. It was something he would never get used to no matter how many times this happened. 

He pats the fingers holding him as he’s eased in further, the saliva seeming to cling to him much like the shadows would when he traveled in them. Briefly he wondered if he could technically shadow travel into his father’s stomach, considering the man was made out of shadows. He idly wriggles in further, a chuckle sounding from his father. That was good at least, the god wasn’t feeling that down anymore. “It's comfortable and you take too long.” He huffs, rolling his eyes.  

That got the train moving, the muscles in the throat rolling over his feet then legs as his father swallowed firmly. He lets a surprised squeak out before laughing at himself as he was pulled in deeper. The shadowy form of the god cushioning him as he slipped further into the god’s mouth. The tongue beneath him shielding him from the teeth. Not that He could see much anyway. Another swallow pulled him completely inside, darkness fielding his vision. He couldn’t see a thing, but it was dark and blissful, and his eyes were already feeling heavy. Thick shadowy saliva clung to him, darkening his vision even more, grimacing slightly at the feeling as it coated him completely. It was the only part he didn’t so much care for, but it was like the shadows anyway. 

He was relieved when another swallow pulled him down, gravity taking hold. He loved his father and all, but the slow pace normally stretched his legs out which got tingly after a while. The small sensation of falling washed over him as he was pulled down. Silence overtook him, the only heartbeat he could hear was his own, which beat steadily. He wasn’t scared, there was no need to be.  

His feet pass through a tight ring, the pressure traveling upwards as his legs dangled in open air under his body fully slid through. He lets out the breath he was holding, closing his eyes as he sunk into the flesh surrounding him. “It’s not a box this time.” He laughs slightly. The stomach walls rippling against him comfortingly. If anything, it was like sinking into the shadows when he traveled, only less energy sucking and more energy receiving. Percy had mentioned once that it felt like being struck by lightning in a good way and he had to agree.  

“Are you going to tell me what happened?” He prompts after a while, watching as the shadows surrounding him wispy around him, covering him like an odd blanket. “There’s no need. I simply needed you close.” his father's voice rumbles around him. That was an indication that he wouldn’t find out...at least not for a while.  

The wispy solidified a bit, feeling more like a swaddling than anything. It was like his father couldn’t get him closer. Whatever it had been the ordeal had shaken the god...which was a slightly terrifying idea to imagine. He squirms against the shadowy mass that had swaddled him, moving to get a bit more comfortable. “I’m going to nap then. I went back and forth today from the camps; it’s a little tiring playing telephone.”  

Sooner or later Leo was going to need to find a better way to communicate between camps. A phone that wouldn’t alert all monsters within a state line would be nice.  

“Very well...I have meetings to attend to. Will this be an issue?” 

“Not at all, S’ not like you talk very much.” Nico teases, stretching and curling into his own personal blanket. He cracks a smile when his father grumbles, his mind wandering as he started to drift off. “I’m okay father, I am.” He reassures, a yawn soon follows.  

“I’ll ensure that.” Hades' response came just as he was drifting off into Morpheus' realm.

I imagine shí bǎomǔ (translated via Google translate English to Ancient Chinese, it means stone nanny) is probably the nickname of choice for Wukong amongst demon monkeys. Just imagine a pairnif monkey demon's coming into the shop because, with Wukong appearing more and more often in this specific shop, of course other monkey demon's will natural gravitate towards it even if they don't necessarily know why. And the somehow goes to stone monkeys, probably because of course it does, Tang is there and a huge Monkey King fan who wants to know everything about the differences between regular monkey demon's and a certain stone monkey they knew. One of those monkey demons, he has some old world knowledge from his great something or other grandparents. Maybe he's related to one of the immortal monkeys that ended up leaving the mountain when it became overpopulated/too dangerous with all the attacks that happened when Wukong was away? Anyways he knows about stone monkeys, albeit not much. What he knows roughly translates to how they're universally known as the nannies of the demon monkey population. It probably goes like,

MK: Man, is it weird, or has Monkey King been acting weird around me?

Mei: Aw, he just loves his son~

MK: He's not my dad, Mei. He's Bern weirdly acting like a mom, ever since the baby came along. Him and Macaque both.

Monkey, not trying to eavesdrop but its impossible with the topic: *snort* Typical Shí bǎomǔ behavior.

Tang: Stone nanny?

Minkey: Old archaic name for the king's species before it became on. Grandoapa says it was cuz of their natural weakness to anything vaguely small, cute, and cublike. The king was, apparently, especially susceptible to this. Never met the guy, but my ancestors was a troopmate of his.

Pigsy: That explains how useless he was with the moon rabbit...

referencing this post on Stone Monkey behavior.

Oh my gosh I adore "shí bǎomǔ/Stone Nanny" as the monkey demon word for Stone Monkeys! <3

Imagine being a caveman-era monkey demon, and you just meet a really cool new monkey who's super good and insistent on caring for your babies while you rest or forage? That monkey would be the go-to babysitter for the whole troop! And they're tough as rocks? Coolest nanny ever!

And the monkeys who knew Wukong back in the king's early days know why the King had the affectionate nickname of "Waigong/Yeye/Grandpa Sun". He helped babysit so many infants and cubs without even asking that the younger generation just assumed he was one of their grandparents until it was explained to them that the immortal monkey was just a really good babysitter. XD

I also love the idea of modern monkey demons congregating around Pigsy's Noodles cus they know that their King and his Heir go there all the time, and that the food is good enough for a king! Pigsy unexpectedly gets a loyal customer base of excited mostly-vegetarian monkeys.

They adore Tang much to the scholar's delight, and to MK's annoyance (boy has been hearing the same stories and questions all day now). Monkey demons dont have a lot of surviving written history due to the Burning of Flower Fruit Mountain, so to have a scholar/historian like Tang trying to compile stories and second-hand accounts is considered really amazing for them!

[autisticempathydaemon]

Ohmygod I love matchups

What song are you fixated on at the moment? What lyric or verse, and why?

Too sweet by Hozier ofc ofcm I looove Hozier and the way he sings about relationships 😭 Im like not fixated on a specific lyric, I'm fixated on the wedding bells in the background of the chorus

What is your Enneagram type?

Okay it has been a FUCKTON of time since I looked at that stuff but iirc it was 2? Me being an infp is literally the only thing I can consistently remember bc ADHD brain

Do you love gargantuan Youtube video essays, and if so, which is your favorite and why?

YESS I listen to them whenever I'm playing Sims or working on something. Any of Jenny Nicholson or Li Speaks’ videos are common for that Nostalgic Essay Stuff. SPECIFICALLY Jenny Nicholson’s jeff the killer fanfiction book video because I OWNED THAT BOOK. I WROTE CREEPYPASTA FANFICTION AND I OWNED THAT BOOK

Tell me about your childhood imaginary friend.

I did not have one and I pretended to because everyone else did and I felt weird for not having one

What is your go-to way to fall asleep?

Imagining being loved and cared for 😭 or whumpy fanfiction scenarios no in-between. But they usually overlap

If you had to change your name, what would it be, and why? (In tandem, if you have changed your name, why did you pick that one?)

I named myself after a character cause I relate ofc but I also named myself echo because it was another birth name in consideration for me and it feels like… whimsical

What is your favorite of Redacted’s audios, and why?

ITS STILL “FLIRTY VAMPIRE LOSES CONTROL” BECAUSE IM OBSESSED WITH SCENES WHERE THE HUMAN PARTNER OF A “MONSTER” CHARACTER IS DIRECTLY CONFRONTED WITH THEIR MONSTROUS TRAITS AND LOVES THEM ANYWAY.

What Redacted boy holds no appeal to you, and why? Like, not the one you hate but the one who you don’t get the hype for. (I won’t judge, I promise.)

Gavin </3 I am simply not a sexual person and it puts me off a bit lol

Tell me about that one book/movie/tv show you know all the words to.

This spectacular show called dramaworld about a girl whos obsessed with kdramas and gets sucked into the world of them, but not in a “the events are real” way, in a “the entire world is a setup for the same characters to go through various plots, forgetting and falling in love over and over again” and it's hilarious and it's such a comfort show even though I can't watch it anywhere anymore I don't think. The main romance is top tier. It's so funny. And the stakes and plot twists are actually pretty good

Which Redacted boy are you platonically attracted to? Like- forget dating, which dude do you want to be your best friend?

Probably Sam? I want him to be my dad. I have issues.

Do you have a go-to thing you ramble about when you’re tired, and if so, what is it? (For example, my boyfriend knows I’m ready to sleep when I start talking about space.)

Apparently when I'm half asleep I start talking about horses? But when I'm still conscious, I mostly talk about like. Vampires mostly.

Tell me your go-to gas station and drink combo.

doritos dinamita and mountain dew yes I am basic

Tell me about your favorite playlist at the moment.

I don't have favorite playlists so much as I play 4-6 songs over and over on repeat until I'm sick of them. Currently, those songs are too sweet by Hozier, no more birthdays by sophie may, and Every Chappelle Roan Song.

What’s your guilty pleasure media, and why?

I love bad romance novels the more ridiculous and bad, the better. kresley cole's immortals after dark are fun to make fun of (no. Hate if you like them)

And whatever else you think tells me about who you are!

Uhhh my favorite form of interaction is parallel play. irl or digital, in a digital sense it means “we're liveblogging two separate things we're doing at the same time” lmao

- Asher-Echo/vampire-bite

Ooh, there’s a lot of good info to consider here. Initially, it was hard because I find Type Two’s easily compatible with most of the Redacted bois, but what said about “not being a sexual person” made it easy to choose Ollie for you.

Because he has never and will never get a BA, I love to headcanon Ollie as either asexual, low-libido, or both, so that’s one reason I think he’d be a good match for you. I also love that y’all would like so many of the same things like open-world games, bad/silly romance novels, and spending time with one another without the pressure to actively interact or engage with each other. (Also creepypastas. I love to headcanon Ollie as a horror, creepypasta fiend, given he grew up on the internet around when Jeff the Killer came to be.)

Every day with Ollie would be so comfortable and domestic, so sweet. Like, on a long weekend like this one if you’re American, I can see y’all spending it at home, a little staycation. He’d be in the other room or one end of the couch reading, and you’d be on the other reading one of your romance novels. Cattywumpus would be on your lap, because you’re his favorite. Your music is playing in the background, and you both stop what you’re doing to dance to “Hot to Go!”, because Ollie would totes love Chappell Roan.

Song:

Spillin' wine and homemade drinks/ We throw a cheers, the worries sink/ Damnit, it's so good to be alive/ We know that we don't got much/ But, then again, it's just enough/ To always find a way for a good time

Ollie strikes me as the type of guy who loves simple, feel-good, folk-esque music, someone being honest and emotional with a guitar. That’s one reason I like this song for y’all and can imagine it shuffled with yours as y’all hang out. The other is that this love song is sweet, catchy, simple just like Ollie~

Runner-ups:

Your love of the Sims and cheesy paranormal romance novels compels me to give you Elliott as a runner-up, because he could bring the things you read and create to life in your dreams, and that’d be so fun! In contrast, your Enneagram type and identifying yourself as nonsexual makes me want to pair you with Cam who gives me an asexual, easily affectionate vibe.

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[csaw]

Meet the weird cousin no one talks about at the family reunion:

Vigore! (in my head it's pronounced like Igor) (He's my OC/Sona for oxy's dunmeshi modern au)

Vampire freak, he likes getting in everyone's pants. and he's very open about it, don't sleep with him if you can't handle everyone he knows finding out lmfao

Random things about him under the cut:

He is 5'8, not very tall...

He doesn't know what romantic love is, so.. he calls everything that isn't sexual love platonic (guess who's projecting!)

He has a friend group (aside from his coworkers) and he makes out with all of them otl and has been in bed with all of them at least once... but they're just friends. Friends that have sex with each other but still, friends.

I think u could put him under the polyam umbrella, but he genuinely doesn't know what the difference between romantic and platonic love is so ... he's really confusing. He'll take u out on a few dates and introduce you to his friend group and even his family and then finally you guys have sex and then u have to ask... What are we ? 🥺😿 And he'll say smth like "we're besties :3 ur like a brother/sister/sibling to me... I love you so much." BRO YOU STUCK UR DICK IN ME WDYM IM LIKE A SIBLING TO YOU?!?!?! and then he makes out with you again- rinse + repeat. endless cycle until you cut him off or try to explain u want him romantically. Then he's like. Okay? What does that mean??

He's a vampire, I would say he's pure-blooded but he's also super young for an immortal, he's like. 27 ish. And he still works in a shitty min wage job. Plus a secret hobby that he uses to make side cash..

His mom is 200+ years old and his dad is like in his 180's. But they both look like they're in their late 30's or very early 40's

His favorite drink is O- low sugar blood with lemon and cucumber.. he likes it hot, he hates drinking cold blood (most vampires do tbh)

He got high once in highschool with his friends and ended up having a psychotic episode, so. He doesn't take drugs other than his prescription anti-psychotics now!! and his sleep meds. nocturnalism be damned...

He visited Chilchuck's store ONCE with his dad and the only reason he keeps coming back is to hit on Chil. Chil hates (?) this, Vi buys absolutely nothing and just follows him around pretending to be interested until he can try his luck again. His dad and chil are acquaintances with each other (divorced fathers get along) but .. fucking... Vi is sabotaging that relationship just by being a nuisance. He wants that hot halfling dilf to pound him out of frustration. Chilchuck hasn't asked him to stop yet... So Vi takes that as a sign that he can keep showing up! He's waiting for Chilchuck to break so he can get that hate sex he's been dreaming about since he met the guy

He acts pretty normal at work, and tries to keep a decent relationship with his coworkers (Laios + Kabru)

He is thirsting after Namari, she goes to the store he works at for groceries and.. he gets heart palpitations when she talks to him. Luckily his blood is rotten bc he's dead, so he doesn't blush! But if he was alive, you know his pasty ass would be bright fucking red. Namari is the only person he gets this nervous speaking to, tbh. He's usually really chill, or unabashedly freaky on main. This is the only time he considers thinking of a definition for romantic love, because. It feels different from platonic love. (Or what he calls platonic love at least) It's also very much a sexual attraction thing, but! There's something more?!

He's vers btw, and he low-key wants to fuck Kabru ... He has a thing for pretty twinks and dirty butches, sigh.

He wears open flannels, low cut tank tops, sometimes a band or graphic tee, and ripped jeans. He owns 2 sneaker pairs, one of the pairs is one size too big and the other is half a size too small, and then he has his combat boots that r actually the correct size but take too long to put on so he only wears them occasionally. He also wears crosses out of spite since he's a vampire and the world's biggest sinner.

He has a blade tattoo bc he thinks blade is hot and he had a crush on Deacon Frost from the first movie. He's so fucking gay oh my god

He has way too many accessories. And clothes in general tbh. But he's prepared for any occasion....

He has the vibes and personality of a stoner but bro doesn't even drink alcohol. He's too scared to do anything like that. Poser tbh

Hrmmm... Ask me questions about him idk

Oh he doesn't sweat and he wears mostly full body clothing in the day time, just to keep the sun away. Yes he gets crispy in the sun... Not a metaphor he starts to burn up and his skin turns to ashes. Vampire business.

He doesn't like telling people that he's a vampire bc of stigma around it, but he doesn't try to hide it either? It's something most people figure out pretty early on without him having to explain it lol. Also he doesn't like being sexualized bc of his vampirism, he wants you to sexualize him because he's a stinky hairy freak that likes getting pegged by older women. Not because of some stereotype u made up in ur head about him.

That's all I know for now...

[kosmicdream]

Also another BURNING question

Would you say that Knife, in the current point in time, dislikes Leadman, or still sees him as his dad, or is it more like indifference/he’s put their history behind him, or neither

Oh boy. Let me tell you, certifiedcuntboy, knife is all kinds of messed up in the present day due to leadman. Of course, they’ve always had a bit of a challenging dynamic - knife himself has always struggled with either trying to be “the mature one” while also deeply idolizing leadman’s choices, and in the end being one of the driving forces to keep Leadman in power as a “good king.” I think for a long time, he really did believe in a hope that leadman would be a person who could see and empathize with anyone, and would be a great leader because of that. But watching him crumble from the responsibility of the position (which honestly, was never right for him in the first place), as well as not being able to handle his immortality, was both deeply painful and disappointing to watch. Knife has long considered Leadman, as his father, or even Leadman as a person to be dead - which is odd considering leadman .. isn’t. Obviously leadman is not all there! But sometimes he still is, a bit. but Knife also refuses to believe the kind of person Leadman has become now - so he refuses to really believe that he really is like, who he is. And you know when Knife’s kinda made up his mind about something like that, he sees it as an absolute fact lol. Knife has considered killing him, of course, but its always something he’s “put off” in a way that, i mean, for a person who has killed so much of his family - its a bit weird that he would delay that inevitable outcome. There’s a lot of feelings Knife is avoiding there, but in the end i think it boils down to that Knife doesnt know what to do with the world or what to do about the outcome of the world without Leadman there. He might be effectively, kinda useless as a “real” leader, but his symbolic power and hold on the kingdom is still very strong. He is a foundational block for a lot of systems that keep things together, so removing him would certainly be a radical change and doesnt seem like one Knife has decided is worth going for yet. Plus like leadman is crazy strong, and there’s also a lot of crazy strong people who would retaliate for him doing something like that. So it would basically be a murder suicide, at best. If Knife didn’t have spoon and fork in his life, I think it would have happened by now. But obviously, he has his own family to consider too. Even if he’s been avoiding them by faking his own death, i think in a way he expects that to one day happen, that he’d give them that kind of pain. He’s trying his best to let go of them and “do the right thing”, but also cant commit cuz i think deep down he also knows it isn’t the right thing. He has no idea what the right thing is to do in this situation, he's stuck. So Knife repeats the cycle of his own father by being there, but also not. Being dead, but also not.

AOT Live Text Reaction

I've decided to post a live text reaction to AOT now that I'm watching it after it finished releasing. Up to episode six, here are my thoughts so far:

Everyone in this show apart from the main characters is really, really dumb. You are being actively hunted by immortal zombies you know NOTHING about. Sure you have your Big Wall-onii san to protect you, but you also have a growing population and dwindling resources. There is no excuse to sit on your hands for a hundred years. You don't even have to fight the monsters! Just go out there and study them! Invest in being FAST! In running AWAY!

Idk what on earth happened a hundred yeara ago, but my bet is that these idiots in charge somehow caused it and most definitely deserve whatever's coming to them.

Eren: He gives me weird vibes, like he's constantly angry or on edge. He seems more desperate than the average protagonist. Not even after his mom being nommed, (which was horrifying by the way, that kinda trauma CAN turn a kid into a sociopath- Eren turned out okay, all things considered.) But before that as well, he was running around trying ro make everyone see reason at age like ten, and HE was treated as the weird one.

Also he doesn't smile much, like I could count on one hand how many times he smiled in episode 5.

Mikasa: Honey. Get a new goal in life, he's not interested. Like I get that it's probably not strictly romantic interest on her part, he's the only family she has left so of COURSE she wants to protect him. That being said Eren does NOT feel the same. Hell, I'm getting the vibe that the only reason he listens to her is because she's stronger than him. Also she seem's to be the studio's favourite. All her scenes are more fluid and detailed.

I want her to grow to have more goals and interests.

Armin: He's ypur typical 3rd cowardly character. The show keeps insisting he's smart but the bar for these characters is low so my hopes aren't high. Like an example of him being smart was the curiosity to SEE OUTSIDE. And somehow that was a novel idea. But he does this weird sense of pride that comes from seemingly nowhere, it makes him interesting.

I want him to stop being a coward. But NOT in a self-sacrificial way.

ONTO THE REACTION!

Op still slaps.

I like the part where they all jump up together, and that Jaeger means hunter and is Eren's last name.

Oh so Eren is just dead. Congrats Armin on becoming the new main character! Ha. Good luck.

LESBIANS! This show has lesbians! Is this confirmed or is it just anime being anime?

See, this is the weird pride I was talking about.

Hate the wagon guy.

WHY IS THAT TITAN SO FAST?!?!

Oh Mikasa great! Kill this guy.

She seems so proud of herself for helping the citizens. Maybe fulfilling her dury will beco.e her new ambition and she'll get over Eren. Hopefully that arcs happens fast, before she finds out he's dead...

Mikasa backstory? Maybe SHE'S our new protagonist

Oh yeah what did happen to Eren's dad- OH DAMN HER PARENTS DEAD!

Look here, this is what I mean. This is not the face a normal 10yo kid would make, like this is an abnormal situation but an ordinary kid would NOT react like that.

Oriental? So is this a magical kidnapping or a racist kidnapping? Just trying to figure out what to be angry about.

Oh damn Mikasa's mum is UNHINGED!

Oh so baby Eren is psychopath CONFIRMED.

Awww, Mikasa has her mum's crazy~

The scarf!! From the ending!!

Okay yeah they're cute, I see the ship. But at the same time this pivotal moment in Mikasa's life was originally motivated by anger, desperation and finally pity on Eren's end.

Oh yeah Eren's still dead.

And that's the episode!

SO glad I didn't get too attached to Mikasa. You aren't gonna get me that easily show!

[ask-the-crimson-king]

Magnus Moment(tm)

Welcome to lore tidbits I find interesting.

I'm pretty sure I've talked about this before, but for today's entry, it's Magnus tanking an entire Baneblade shot.

So Magnus had been walking around for 13 years occasionally getting hurt in battle, purely because he wanted to. This is kind of hilarious, but also the very idea of Magnus never truly getting hurt on a battlefield until a Baneblade just BLASTS him point blank is insane.

Also him being like "damn. This is what my Sons feel?? Wow. What a coward I've been, hiding from this". I can kinda get it. But also, considering how much Magnus wants to protect his Sons from shit (scenic him removing all memory of Morningstar from them, never telling them of the Tzeentch pact til it was too late, etc.), bro not immediately jumping to "damn I really need to give them more advance shielding techniques, this sucks" is weird. He does seem to be uber protective to a degree, but not here.

Also also I wouldn't call it cowardly to try and keep yourself from taking damage and Not Dying and then suddenly you tank something that would reasonably delete someone manually to give perspective to how little you've been injured, I'd call that proof of concept of how great your wards have worked.

Also also also, immortal dad dispelled(tm).

This is also interesting considering how later on Magnus wields so much power that he literally winds up conking out for almost three days. If they were confused about him getting hurt then, HOO BOY.

Once I get to that point I'll probs make another post, cause it's got some good feels with Perturabo and Magnus attached.

Hiya! 📕 :D?

*giggles and twirls my hair* hehehe— WAIT WHICH DO I PICK TO TALK ABOUT

uhhh les go with the genshin/bnha crossover NOT dimension travel ^^

so basically— au where teyvat is just bnha’s pangaea and the archons are bare legends and stuff if anything. im leaning towards a no traveler au but either way it doesnt matter

sometime after the genshin plot is all done and over with, the leylines start drying up, the archons go dormant, people stop getting visions, etc etc until eventually it gets into prequirk era, and then quirk era and bnha plot. SOME genshin people are still around, and technically the archons are hibernating but they have little ‘graves’/shrines and whoevers still around visits them

this isnt really a full fleshed story fjkdbdj mostly an excuse to have crossover interactions while keeping the canon backstories in the same world sortof thing. and more emotional competency. yknow crossover fics where characters from different fandoms are friends bc of some similarity/shared backstory? yeah <3

note that i havent watched/read bnha at all, i just read a lot of fic

specifics under the cut

main highlights are:

xiao and hawks. they both are birds and were ‘enslaved’ (xiao and his former master, hawks and the heros commission) they both they. them

in this verse xiao is still around and suppressing whatever karma he finds. at some point baby hawks-keigo’s dad gets inflicted with karma and xiao stops it, finds keigo and takes him in. little baby keigo growing up with xiao-ge around stories of the archons and duty and legends oughdjsn. eventually keigo decides he wants to rejoin society and become a hero so xiao drops him somewhere to be found by authorities. once he gets his own apartment or something they start meeting more regularly again.

>side fic thingy where canon hawks travels to this verse. at this point keigo has graduated whatever hero school he went to and is a ta at ua. they are the same age. cue weird interactions where hawks is unnerved by everyone knowing his birthname and acting familiarly. on the reverse end everyone else (ua staff) is having complicated feelings about the very suspicious circumstances of the 23?yo that is somehow a fully fledged hero with the commission. at some point keigo gets xiao and hawks to meet and they have some vague complicated talk about being trapped by circumstances, freedom, etc

wanderer and izuku. idk something something the shared sentiment of being considered useless and abandoned for it but still striving to prove their worth yadayada.

im not entirely certain on how they meet but i kindof want izuku getting lost and stumbling upon ei and makoto’s graves while wanderer’s there. at this point wanderer is much more at peace with ei and her grief over makoto and etc and ends up telling izuku about the inazuma shoguns. izuku is charmed and wanderer gets conned into visiting him and telling him stories

idk i just feel like izuku would have feelings about raiden shogun considering: two equals who ruled a whole nation together ~ him and bakugou wanting to become heroes together. the idea of being an irreplaceable one of two, something like that

albedo is around but is mostly secluded in some underground lab maybe. he goes out sometimes for lab data but usually its for art breaks. sometime quirk era he gets accidentally arrested somehow for not having documents. later it gets sorted out and he gets publicly put down as having an immortal quirk or something. they dont know hes a homunculus tho, albedo doesnt volunteer any information so they only end up recognizing him by his artist penname, calx

some adepti/adepti-blooded are still around, as well as some ghosts. they live mostly in some pocket dimension that cloud jumper somehow managed to keep maintained. idk who exactly is around. hu tao is definitely a ghost but only to haunt the other ghosts into passing over

Hi I just finished reading you Afhiko peddling for the second time I just wanna say your writing style has me laying at your feet beautiful I tell you so I wanted to ask if we could get like a found family AU with Afhiko I’m thinking the children as izuku & Tomura also something fantasy Idk I’ll leave the story telling to you if you decide to take up this silly little idea :D

hi anon :) thanku for the ask and the compliments!! <33

so since youre my first writing request anon in a LONG time i will do the found family with tomura and izuku but this will be my only afohiko with either of them </3 im too much of a dad for one truther to involve izuku too much in afohiko and tomura is a whole can of worms with sorahiko so this is IT

that said im not doing fantasy, i dont write fantasy in general, sorry!!

and also i really hope u dont mind but this sparked a big brain idea to check off a bthb prompt so im gonna just. do that

@badthingshappenbingo

now with all of that out of the way:

no children (i WISH) (ao3 link)

bthb info: captive push (for my hero academia)

words: 1431

rating: T

Sorahiko doesn't think of himself as much of a parental figure. He's not responsible enough for that shit, the idea of some kid learning from him and taking up his bad habits- no, no way, he refuses to be responsible for it.

He should've figured Hisashi wouldn't agree- and he also should've figured that he wouldn't ask before finding a kid and raising it as he sees fit.

Shimura Tenko is the grandson of one of Hisashi's old enemies, the Seventh holder of One for All, and hearing how long ago his husband killed her makes Sorahiko feel much older than his body reflects. At some point, Hisashi must've snuck an immortality, or at least anti-aging, quirk into him, but he's always vehemently denied it and then followed it up with "and if I did, I wouldn't take it back!"

So he's stuck looking thirty-something like his husband, which at least made it less weird to be walking around with Tenko sitting on his shoulders when he'd been the right age for it.

Besides, if Hisashi is to be believed about the effects age would've had on his body, given his quirk, he would be stuck at Tenko's height around now, so he guesses it's not all bad- he's got to look at the bright side of things, or else he would be forcing his new kid to suffer through his new parents' divorce, no matter how many times they've done it before it'll still suck for the kid.

He's glad that he'd had the restraint not to divorce Hisashi on the spot once he'd found out about Tenko; he'd been disappearing into one of his "secret" (only a secret to people who don't handle all the paperwork, Hisashi) villain bases, a bar all the way out in Kamino. Obviously, he wasn't cheating, because the man is far too possessive of the people he considers "his" to even think about something like that, but he was still up to something that he knew damn well Sorahiko wouldn't approve of.

So he went to the bar, and found a Noumu and a kid who was given an awfully depressing name- Shigaraki Tomura.

The ensuing argument was on the uglier side of their usual fights, so for any other couple it would be of truly permanent-divorce-level of proportions. Hisashi said something about the kid being his successor in the future in his attempt to get that quirk, to which Sorahiko had simply responded,

"That is a child."

"He's got the seeds of destruction in him already! Look at his quirk- "

"He is six years old."

Hisashi had been forced to relent at that, and then he made the mistake of revealing the kid's full name and heritage, in what must have been an attempt to get to divorce number 17, and Sorahiko had practically blown another gasket.

"You're trying to tell me he just so happened to develop a highly destructive quirk that's unprecedented in his family history?"

"More quirks are unprecedented than you'd think- "

"And you just so happened across him before anyone called the cops or anything at the sight of a child covered in blood?"

"I will admit that I was monitoring the Shimura household due to their connection to the Seventh- "

"Oh, sure, monitoring, is that what we're calling it?"

"Sometimes things just go the way I want them to! That's not my fault if I take advantage!"

"So sometimes quirkless kids- and I saw his shoes, don't try and bullshit me- connected to families of your enemies just spontaneously develop convenient quirks for you? Is that how that works?"

So Tenko summarily stopped being raised as the future successor for All for One's empire, and while Sorahiko would have much rather dropped him off at the nearest police station, orphanage, or the like, he also knows Hisashi well enough that the poor kid would be stuck in a vault within a week to resume his so-called "training."

He has a kid now, and has for the past four years. Sometimes he thinks Hisashi ended up winning with that arrangement, and then he reminds himself that Tenko is still called Tenko and is being raised to be a completely normal child- or, well, as normal a child can be with two villain parents.

Unfortunately, it seems that Hisashi has stopped being quite so bitter about losing his initial plan for Tenko and has fully accepted that he has a kid now, and has summarily began quietly petitioning for another. He's glad that Hisashi's at least attempting to ask permission on this one, but the answer is still hell fucking no.

Tenko is tolerable. He's quiet, minds his own business, there's a decent foundation of mutual respect between him and the now-ten-year-old. It works, and he is not at all keen to try and fix what isn't broken. There is nothing he wants less than a new variable to be added to his current living arrangement.

None of that is relevant at this current point in time, however. Right now, Tenko is at school and he and Hisashi are doing some good old-fashioned illegitimate business.

Right now, some middling human trafficking operation is trying to get Hisashi and his empire as customers to their trade, so the both of them are meeting with the head of it. Privately, they plan on killing him and subsuming the operation into the empire, but there's always variability to these kinds of things.

The man, with an uninteresting quirk that he never bothered to memorize, has apparently brought an underling with him, and before the meeting even begins, he tells the girl to "bring in the goods."

She nods, leaves, and returns holding a chain, which has multiple sets of handcuffs like a hand-holding rope in a kindergarten classroom. Maybe he's just thinking that because in the handcuffs are all small children in various states of distress, with the oldest seeming to be in front and a little runt in the back.

Hisashi appraises them, no doubt looking for decent Noumu material, while Sorahiko very determinedly does not look over at them. He's never agreed with using children in the Noumu trials, and he's consistently fought both Hisashi and Ujiko on that point, but he can't make it seem like they're not a unified front in front of some unimportant scrappers. Out of the corner of his eye, though, he sees Hisashi's expression shift and light up, before turning to the girl- she might be young enough to still be in school, no reason for her to be doing things like this- and telling her to set "the green one" loose.

Sorahiko looks over at who she's freeing, and notes that it's the runt in the back, one who couldn't be older than five. His eyes and hair are a matching bright green, and his face is dripping in tears.

"Sora."

Oh, he knows that tone.

"No."

"Sora."

"That is the face of a child who has a mother at home. Absolutely not."

The child, upon hearing this, cries harder, and Sorahiko feels like he might have just stepped in something he should not have stepped in. Hisashi leans down, looking for all the world like he's perfectly harmless and defenseless, but unless the two adults are exceptionally stupid, they won't try anything.

"What's your name, young man?"

"I- Izuku. I don't, I- they told me Momma died, she's not at home, I don't have a home, I'm sorry- "

Oh, great, now he feels bad. The child breaks down sobbing in response to Sorahiko's brazen comment, and Hisashi looks over at him with a face that is somehow even more pathetic than the literal children in chains.

"Fine. No more."

He will hold Hisashi to that. This is the last kid that he will help raise, he fucking promises. If Hisashi gets pipe dreams of a third, there will be a divorce in his near future.

Hisashi smiles widely, stands, and says to the girl, "We'll take them. Why don't you get yourself and the goods outside for a minute so we can talk business?"

The girl nods silently, with a shrewd look in her eye that makes Sorahiko think that she knows what's about to happen. She ushers the children away with her, glancing between them and her boss.

Ten minutes later, he and Hisashi are both completely spotless, while the rest of the dingy warehouse is covered in blood and various bits of gore.

"Izuku will make a fantastic little brother for Tenko, don't you think?" Hisashi asks conversationally, and Sorahiko groans.

Me pregunto como interactuaran LMK canon con el au monkey king and the infant XDD seria hilarante que vieran una versión del rey mono tan relajada y seguro de mismo (muestra sus defectos y no los oculta, canon wukong) y que macaco es una madre feroz que hace tapetes con la mirada y que ambos están juntos bjsabd

used DeepL translator this time cus google was acting odd;

"I wonder how LMK canon will interact with au monkey king and the infant XDD it would be hilarious to see such a relaxed and confident version of the monkey king (he shows his flaws and doesn't hide them, canon wukong) and that macaque is a fierce mother who makes mats with her eyes and that the two are together bjsabd."

I have considered scenarios where the Canon LMK characters interact with their Au counterparts XD

Like a glitch in the Wukongverse leads to the canon and the au verses colliding.

Canon & Au MK, at the same time: "Wow! Another me! Why are you in monkey/human form tho? Huh!? I've always been like this! Wait..." Au!MK: "Wait... you're not like a default monkey? That must be weird for mom and dad." Canon!MK: "WHOM???" *cue both MKs screaming. Canon and Au shadowpeach approach one another* Canon!SWK, pokes Au!Wukong's stomach: "Whoa, this version of me has really let himself go..." Au!SWK, annoyed: "And look, this me is still an emotionally immature slob." *grabs canon!Wukong's hand* "You try being half-mortal for twenty years!" *cue a multi-SWK fight. The Macaques watch on* Canon!Macaque, suspiciously: "What about you? How come you look so... content?" Au!Macaque: "Lets just say... I learned to forgive someone." Canon!Macaque: "Ugh. Don't tell me..." Au!Macaque: "I know, I know..."

Neither versions of the characters want to reveal information that could affect the others timelines/relationships too badly, but there's still slip ups...

Especially when the kids are causing havoc around the different Shadowpeach couples.

*Both shadowpeaches are sitting around on FFM. The different kids are play-fighting* Canon!SWK: "So wait, you guys got turned mortal because of some comet?" Au!SWK: "Yeah, its a long story, and we don't wanna give away too much that could like derail your universe." Canon!Macaque: "I think we can handle some interdimensional mayhem." Au!Macaque: "Ok, so it started-" *notices the kids playing a bit too roughly. Mom-voice activates* "QI XIAOTIAN AND LONG XIAOJIAO! You stop fighting like animals this instant!" Au!MK & Mei: "Sorry Bama!!" "Yeah! Sorry!" Canon! MK & Mei: "Uh, yeah sorry!" "Our bad!" Au!Macaque, voice back to normal: "I swear even if we were still immortal, they'd make us age..." Au!SWK: "True that." Canon SWK & Macaque: 0_0 X_0 Canon!Macaque: "Care explaining to me, what the fuck?" Au! SWK & Macaque: "Language!"

Canon Shadowpeach are def a little uncomfortable around, but envious of the Au married couple. Au Wukong and Macaque are very affectionate and have been reconciled for some time. Combined with an odd number of baby Mystic Monkeys around the alternate household, and the canon monkeys have a lot of questions.

Canon!Macaque, helping clean up dinner: "Soooo... when you meant forgive, you and your Wukong sorta...?" Au!Macaque, washing dishes: "Yeah. *Stuff* happened." Canon!Macaque: "In this context; *stuff* meaning your MK?" Au!Macaque: "Yep." Canon!Macaque: "Dang. One more question." Au!Macaque: "Go ahead." Canon!Macaque: "In making your MK, did you and Wukong ba-" Au!Macaque, face bright red: "Not where the kids can hear!! The twins have our ears!" Canon!Macaque, chuckling: "Ok then. I'll take that as a yes." Au!Macaque, still a little flustered: "It involved the comet. Thats all I'm gonna say." Canon!Macaque: "...what??"

Overall everyone is left very confused but with a fresh perspective on things.

Canon Pigsy is jealous that his au counterpart has more employees other than MK (au Wukong and Nezha). Both Tangs are just infodumping with eachother, while the Sandys are drinking tea.

The ones with the biggest shocks I imagine would be the canon kids tho, especially Nezha.

Canon!Nezha: "You look... rougher than me." Au!Nezha, unsurprised: "I imagine that you're still guarding the Map?" Canon!Nezha: "Ehh... not anymore. Wukong stole it." Au!Nezha: "Hmph. And they still let you stay in the Celestial Realm?" Canon!Nezha: "Yes? Why wouldn't they?" Au!Nezha, getting more quiet: "They didn't show me such generosity twenty years ago."

Both Nezhas end up chilling for a while. Canon Nezha is left uneasy after the encounter.

Chapter 66:

In an apartment in Tokyo, some dude is sleeping on the couch. He wakes up, whines about how much his life sucks and how he drank too much last night. He wonders why he fell asleep on the sofa of all places...and then he sees Pai in his bed.

He runs out, checks to make sure he's in the right apartment, and finds a weird keychain on his person. He decides it's time for a flashback...

So last night, he and Three-Eyed Pai were having drinks. He was laughing about how humans were destroying the planet and Three-Eyed Pai said she'd kill all humans for them. He says he likes that she's pretty and violent and she has an interesting ornament (re: eye) on her head. He gives her his card and tells her to call him if she's in trouble. She responds by giving him a charm that should protect him from weak monsters. Then they get shitfaced.

In the present, he feels bad about bringing a woman from the bar to his home. Either way, he heads off to his job as a reporter before Pai ambushes him by hugging him from behind, calling him Yakumo. She then sees who he is and freaks out, asking who he is. He tells her to be quiet before people thinks he did something and tells her what happened last night. She has a hangover and, since he has to leave, he tells her to rest it off in his place and to leave the key in the newspaper box when she's ready to leave. She asks how she's going to get home and he gives her taxi money.

At his workplace, Yotsuya (the guy) is asked by his boss how the story on the environmental problem is coming. He says that it's not good; he wants to write a story on how much paper people are wasting but he doesn't think he's in a position to do so considering he works for a newspaper. His boss doesn't care because they have a deadline but Yotsuya says he's better suited as a field reporter. The boss says he was sent here because he couldn't find a single scoop so he needs to stop his bitching and do the article.

Yotsuya thinks about ever since he was a kid, he wanted to be a reporter. He wants to get the big scoop...but he's been working for seven years and he has nothing. He doesn't want to be promoted, he has no interest in women...he considers his life empty. As he heads home, he wonders what's become of Pai.

He goes home and finds his door unlocked and his place cleaned, figuring Pai did it as thanks for putting her up for the night. Then he finds her asleep on her balcony. He goes over to her and finds out she has a fever. She explains she tried to get home but her telepathy isn't working and neither Takuhi or Fei-oh would come. Not knowing what the fuck she was talking about, he puts her in bed. He figures she's lost and she says she used to live in Shinjuku but had to move to a secret hideout. She's a triclops so she has to hide and not tell anybody. Yotsuya reacts appropriately:

He thinks she's talking in slang, asking if "Pai" is something you eat. She says that's her name and she's the triclops. She's being chased for her immortality but it's fine because she's going to be human soon. They're going to use the Ningen to do it. Yotsuya is shooting sparks from his head, unable to follow anything she is saying. She has to tell him about Yakumo's dad and who Yakumo is (one of those things should have preceded the other).

He makes her some rice and ends the chapter not knowing what to do.

@doombum Okay just know you've released a dangerous beast.... (8-year-old me) A little preamble before we get into the sillies x men au is a bit of A misslater, This AU is more in the Marvel/X men universe that was going on in the 80s, I imagine all the stuff I talk about was like a weird branch off comic from someone off appearance because, It was originally a mini series that did really well! I believe this series is slightly more horrid focused than the main x men and slightly more Edgy tm before it becomes a big trend in comics!

Edit: FUCK I wasn't done typing!!! This thing is incomplete give-

Anyway.... Well it's the 1980s!! And Michael is fine. He lives in the small town of Utah with his weird British dad's Who runs a diner that Michael finds annoying And 2 siblings, He's fairly popular at school and has a really cool girlfriend named Charlie. Life is going pretty good for him all things considered. Yes he is a mutant in the 80s but it's a secret the only person who knows is his dad and the rest of his family. Anyway he's not one of those freaky ones either the only thing he can do is set his blood on fire which is cool! Anyway he continues to be your average annoying teenage boy scaring his poor little brother, 1 day Michael and his buddies decide to put Evan in Fred bear's mouth.. Yes sure Evan dies which sucks but shoving him in Fred bear's mouth also triggers his powers which causes a psychic wave that knocks out most of the town and destroys the pizzeria..

So now William is freaking out and Michael is sitting there troubletized be cause he just murdered Evan and probably outed them to the whole town which is very very bad. Luckily Will is able to spin this into one of Michael's friends both killing Evan and being the Mutant who made the Pizzeria blow up, And make sure that no one I would look into it too much.... And so Michael could go back to his life except he's very guilty about Evan now.. But Everything is fine if you act like everything is fine.

William is busy not being fine. After the bite William realized just how easy he is to kill. Also how much he really really really doesn't want to die, Like he thought if he were really really hard to hide himself and his family that he wouldn't die but Evan died, And they got close to being found out which would probably result in death.. So like any normal person would he decides the literal only way to fix this problem is to somehow figure out how to give himself immortality.... Like he's a mutant but his only ability is Changing how people perceive him, Which isn't very helpful for the whole "I don't want to get murdered" plan. So he thinks the only way to solve this is to kill kids and experiment on their genes to figure out how to Make his stupid mutant powers into something actually useful!

So he begins to Build murder clown robots and gets Impatient just Kidnaps 5 kids, Only one of them has the mutant gene Sadly all of his experiments killed the kids but Their essence attaches to the animatronics he used to transport them to his house without any suspicion so now he just has 5 very angry ghost children who want to kill him in his pizzeria....

But that isn't important because, Circus babies is now open and oh no Got stuck in the robot and he can't get her out.. She died in the circus baby but somehow something with how circus baby is built Elizabeth didn't really die die. It's not really her spirit hunting circus baby it's something else. Which means she could still use her powers. So William realizes something... He probably just created one of the best killing machines on the planet. So of course being the business man he is he plans to start selling murder robots that can kidnap specifically mutant kids And use their powers planning to also Use those robots and like dead kid juices to figure out how to give himself immortality!

Anyway back to Michael who's now very worried because his sister disappeared, He looks for her for months until finally giving up. Because of this he doesn't really know this as William begins to build himself a little criminal enterprise. About a year after Elizabeth's disappearance William gets a bit cocky, He wants to try his old gene fucking up thing on himself but he wants to do a test run on someone close to him first. So he chooses Michael who he sends down on a fake quest to save his sister in reality just leading to his doom. And you know how the story goes. Michael Listens to circus baby's voice and is killed. Though this time he has the whole medical procedure done on him which at first works pretty well. Until William realized that this really messed Michael up... He gets purple and dead looking and William genuinely thinks his son is dead since he's like a rotting carcass at this point so William just dumps his son on the outskirts of town and hopes to never have to relive that trauma again.

But Michael isn't dead. He wakes up wrong on the outskirts of town.

I would scream into the void about my X men AU if you all let me

[lollytea]

so in love with Willow taking up photography as a hobby. like of course she would. of course she'd be the type to want physical snapshot reminders of memories she treasures, people she loves, things she finds beautiful. she takes a picture of Luz giving Amity a big kiss on the cheek and gifts it to them, she takes a picture of Gus doing his best attempt at a handstand, she takes a picture of Hunter grinning, all earnest and goofy. it makes so much sense and i love her SO dearly

It makes me SO happy to think about Willow's new photography hobby. It's just so so sweet. It's a way for her to express herself!! A way to better understand this strange and beautiful new world!!! She's collecting memories in the form of photos to remind herself that no matter how bleak things seem sometimes and how much she misses home, there's so much love and laughter here. It's not all bad, it really isn't.

Willow getting excited about telling her Dads all about her adventure in the Human Realm and all the fun she had with her friends. She can't WAIT to show them her pictures. She feels like she's gotten really good at photography lately. Her friends are constantly telling her how beautiful her pics are. And though she's feeling pretty confident in her skills, she still feels like her pics are only beautiful because she chooses to focus on beautiful things. But she certainly can't tell Hunter that's why pictures of him turned out so nice.

Willow swells with pride when she gifts Luz and Amity a photo of them dancing in the rain and they bundle her into a tight hug. It's now framed on Luz's desk and Willow feels warm every time she looks at it.

She managed to snap a whole series of Gus on his brand new skateboard. There's this one pic right before he takes a tumble where he's making the absolute goofiest expression imaginable. That photo has become immortalized as the house's biggest meme. It makes everyone howl with laughter everytime they look at it. Even Camila. It's on the fridge. Gus considers it his finest moment. Willow is eternally delighted that she was responsible for capturing the exact moment that renders everyone helpless with giggles.

And Hunter....she's got so many pics of Hunter. She's kinda embarrassed to tell him just how much she as. That would be weird right?

It's after the grimwalker reveal when they finally come in handy. Late one night when they're talking of everything and nothing. It's an adjustment period. Hunter knows she doesn't hate him. But he admits that he's still having a hard time being comfortable with himself. Being a clone is confusing, as it leaves you uncertain of who you really are.

Willow is silent for a moment before standing up with a purpose. Hunter is almost startled at the abruptness. Willow marches out of the room and is gone for a few moments before she returns, armed with a shoebox full of photos. She spills them out in front of a stunned Hunter.

So many wide gap-toothed grins. Him standing by Gus with his hands hovering nervously as the latter attempts to become the next Tony Hawke. Hunter posing dramatically in his handmade Halloween costume that he was so proud of. Hunter and Luz curled up together in a tangle on the couch, fast asleep. Hunter cheering as he proudly carries Amity in a piggy back after she bet him five bucks that he couldn't. Hunter, Hunter, Hunter, Hunter and more Hunter.

All snapped by Willow with so much love you could almost drown in it.

"Maybe it would help..." She says softly. "If you could see who you are with your own eyes. Because I'm seeing. I'm seeing all the time. And I try to get every moment of it because I really like seeing..."

[core-cosmos]

I bet Willy wants the kids (mainly Scary) to trust him as a way to gain power from them via the daddy magic he would receive from that kind of connection.

Like he’s probably pretty weak right now, all things considered... Ron is gone and Terry is off getting his brain rattled by the Doodler, so he’s probably pretty low on the magic front. He still has the Doodler’s magic (if its still supplying him with some) and possibly his own magic. But he doesn’t have the additional influx of daddy magic he had in season 1.

We know he still wants power and immortality because he said that’s why he wanted to kill the Doodler, so he probably was/is going to try and get that from another source in the meantime, that being the teens.

He already had a connection with Scary (both the patron thing and them being kinda relatives) but if he had a parental connection with all the teens imagine the kind of power he’d get. Like we saw how much power the dads and omega daddies got via daddy magic in season 1 when they each only had a connection with just 1 kid (2 in Henry’s case). Just imagine how appealing having 4 of those connections would be for Willy.

Like the first thing he did when he got out was try to take a fatherly role with them. He LITERALLY SAYS “But when I’m looking at you I see a bunch of kids who kinda really need... well... my name is Willy Stampler but you all can call me daddy.” like first, that’s hella weird my guy, and secondly he is TOTALLY trying to take a fatherly role to get that sweet sweet daddy magic.

[zhonglis-wifey]

ideal partner

hi besties!!! i’m brainrotting about my genshin crushes rn so. yeah i’m doing my fav genshin characters for this one! characters here are zhongli, yoimiya, hu tao, & albedo 💓

ZHONGLI

zhongli’s ideal s/o would be quite different from him. i could really see him with someone loud and charismatic, opposed to his quieter behavior.

i don’t think zhongli would want to date anyone from liyue. i feel like they see liyue’s people as their descendants and that would just be weird lmao so it’s a 90 day fiancé moment

zhongli would need someone open-minded. if they’re gonna freak out when they inevitably find out that he’s rex lapis, then he probably won’t even bother. it’s just unnecessary drama that they don’t want to deal with. the point of becoming zhongli was to distance themself from rex lapis anyway.

that being said, zhongli still cares a lot about liyue and its history, so he would really appreciate someone who shares that passion. please ask him to tell you stories about liyue!! it makes them very happy

zhongli would want someone who isn’t jealous or possessive. if you find out about his past relationship with guizhong and you’re insensitive about it, that’ll just break his heart. they love you now, you’d have no reason to be jealous over someone who’s been dead for millennia.

YOIMIYA

yoimiya would definitely want somebody just as outgoing and energetic as her. it’s not that she has anything against introverted people, it’s just that they wouldn’t be able to keep up with her lifestyle.

she cares a lot about what her dad thinks, so he has to approve of you! i’m sure he would though lol, he’s probably gonna be happy with anyone who makes his daughter happy

yoimiya values someone who will listen to her; not just hear what she says, but truly listen and engage with her. she’s spent a lot of her life being ignored or tuned out and it’s really disheartening for her. she would adore a significant other who loves to hear her talk about whatever’s on her mind.

i feel like yoimiya would be compatible with an artist. being an artist (of fireworks) herself, she would love to be close to someone else as passionate about creating as she is. doesn’t matter if you’re good or bad, as long as you let her see whatever you’re working on, she’s happy!

yoimiya’s love languages are definitely physical touch and words of affection. the latter is pretty obvious considering how much she loves to talk. as for physical touch, she seems like the kind of person to always want to hold her s/o in some way. yoimiya will constantly want to cuddle or at least hold your hand, so if you’re not into that, she’s gonna be kinda upset.

HU TAO

all hu tao wants is someone who likes her. that’s it. she constantly suffers through everyone thinking she’s mean, annoying, and unfunny. she strikes me as the kind of person to cling to whoever shows her a fraction of love.

unfortunately, that would probably lead her to making some bad decisions in past relationships. she needs someone who will love her for her and be there when she can’t keep up her façade anymore. hu tao needs someone who understands her, who doesn’t see her as unworthy or broken.

sad stuff out of the way, of course she’d love someone with a sense of humor! life’s boring when you don’t know how to laugh. that would definitely be the first thing hu tao notices in her s/o.

but she would also appreciate it if her s/o knew how to quell her sometimes-inappropriate attitude. all hu tao wants is to fit in with the rest of the world, so if you can gently show her how to do that without changing who she is, she’ll love you forever

speaking of forever, hu tao would love an immortal s/o. she deals in death, but the last thing she wants to think about is the deaths of her loved ones. if she were to date a god or an adeptus, she wouldn’t have to worry about that. but immortals are hard to come by, so she’s happy with her s/o just being safe and evading death for as long as possible. i can’t see her with an adventurer s/o because it’s just too dangerous and it would worry her so much.

ALBEDO

albedo doesn’t care to look for an s/o and if he ever develops feelings for someone, he’d want them to pursue the relationship first. albedo’s not great with expressing himself, so he would love someone who could do that instead and be patient with him.

i can really see albedo falling for someone from outside mondstadt or khaenri’ah. he values learning about the world around him, and having an s/o from somewhere he’s never been would be beneficial to him. not that he sees you as a commodity though, he just thinks that’s a fun added bonus to who you are.

like zhongli, albedo wants someone open-minded. he has a pretty weird past and is literally made of chalk, so do with that what you will lmao

albedo would want you to get along with klee. she means a lot to him, and it would really warm his heart if you took care of and loved klee the way he does. not liking klee would be a total red flag to him.
