How many au's do you got? and what's their names

Oh sweet mother, that's like counting grains of sand at the beach at this point-

I'll handpick from what I've posted and then add two or three more:

1. "Can I stay for a year or two?"/CISFAYOT- Alfred's Mentally Ill and goes to stay with Arthur to unwind so he can get back to work ASAP. Just to be jumpsacared by Arthur having gotten therapy and who is now enforcing obligatory therapy on Alfred which absolutely works. He has a stern dad-to-president talking to with Alfred's boss after christmas and has him put on paid sick leave so he can start actually getting better.

2. Lighthouse au - Arthur's a lighthouse keeper, Francis is a myserious specter of the sea that lures him in

3. Time Travel au - Alfred forgets to mind his business when out for a walk in the English Woodlands and ends up stepping through a fairy-circle-esque circle of branches and trees and is teleported back to early middle age England to meet England when he was 200 years old.

4. Domestic FACE au/Domestic au: A modern day, human au centered around the FACE-family, but where I've branched into including the nordics for self-indulgence. There's not really any plot, it's just a slice-of-life/Buying groceries kind of au :,)

5. Pirate au: (They are countries in this) Arthur's a pirate on the run from the English Crown, Alfred's a wee lad that hides in a crate of oranges and sneaks onto Arthur's ship. Arthur recognizes that he's a nation, thus let's him stay at the price of menial labor. It's an au where Arthur weren't there to discover Alfred in the 17th century and were held prisoner i England until he broke free and went to sea. Meanwhile Alfred's been growing up with his people around the east-coast but wants to explore and do more things, feeling like he's meant for more, so he finds a ship and sneaks on.

Gonna make a read more so this doesn't go rogue on the dash:

Here are the ones I haven't posted about because there's not really any art of it:

5. Medieval comedy sketch: In which we follow Arthur (Nation) through his very eventful life in the 15th century as a personal guard to an excessively annoying prince. The prince eventually grows on him and Arthur's ready to lay down his life several times for him, but turns out so is the prince. I started it initially as a full-on comedy sitcom (think Monty Python), but it became a comedy melodrama in the end.

I'm not mad about it though, one of the more lighthearted and fun au's to write - It's honestly my favorite one.

6. Big, little empire: This is prime example of biting off more than you can chew for me. This au is also medieval, but much much earlier- It's set in around year 1000, during the reign of King Cnut the Great and is about Arthur's and Asger's (Mathias, once he's properly christened) relations, personal and political. My plan for it was to explore Arthur as starting out watching empires and becoming one himself - Though with the constant nagging at the back of his head that he is not meant for greatness and the doubt is what consumes him in the end.

7. Race you to the end: Yet another prime example of too much plot for a skilled procrastinator who gets easily overwhelmed with details. This au is genuinely one of the saddest, most heartwrenching au's I have ever had, and I have MANY.

The au is nationverse and is about Gilbert and Ludwig maneuvering Gilbert's bucketlist once it becomes apparent that Gilbert is terminal. The title itself makes me want to cry, because it refers to the first scene where they're at the beach; Gilbert insists they race to see who reaches a group of seagulls first and ends up winning by tripping up Ludwig. I know it's a spoiler, but Gilbert does die at the end and Ludwig goes back to the beach from the beginning and chases a pack of gulls by himself.

8. Portrait of the modern nuclear family/Family unit: Tw for talk of drug and substance abuse for this one, lads.

This au is about FACE, but unlike my other FACE au's, it's dysfunctional. MAJORLY dysfunctional. Alfred is caught up with meth/cocaine and juggles a failing career on the side that leaves him to take up loans to fund his addiction. Matthew's caught up with weed and alcohol, though he's managing to seek help and make an attempt to get better, because he does not want to end up like Arthur and Francis. Francis is a bonnafide wine-alcoholic ("but it's wine, so it doesn't count!") and Arthur's "just" an alcoholic who has too much to say and too much work for his own good to maintain.

Together they make the perfect cocktail for family get together's like birthdays, holidays and whatnot, because all four of them together always ends up ruining the occasion. But they all want to pretend they're normal, so they keep doing it. Over and over again. (Nationverse)

9. Alfred gets lost in the Canadian winter wilderness au: Exactly as the title says, Alfred's on his way up to visit Matthew over the holidays just to get caught in a blizzard. He sees something in the middle of the road, swerves and crashes. It's just about Alfred wandering through the thick of it surviving and encountering ✨folklore creatures✨. It's a bit of a mystique, a bit of a horror au.

10. Haunted house au: Alfred forces Arthur to come along with him on several trips to American and European haunted or abandoned houses for the thrill of it. They end up in an actually haunted one in the US and things go south very fast. A very cliché horror, but one that I also enjoy writing immensely.

I am ending it here, but know that I do have more 🪩💃

A New Beginning: A Supergirl 6x20 Re-Write

Chapter One: Back to Reality

There was definitely a new air about National City that night, and there was definitely a new air about Kara Danvers as well. Sitting in her chair in the main meeting area of the CatCo bullpen, wearing a red and cream tartan suit with her hair perfectly blown out; almost as if she flew there in a rush so she wouldn’t be late.

Thanks to a very important person at her sister’s wedding, who can only be described as the living embodiment of regality with a soft marshmallow center, and a droning force in short but fun-sized packed persona over the phone, she decided that this interview was not only the right time to tell the City she called home for years who she was, but all to breathe. To become herself. Her WHOLE self.

“Are you sure you want to do this Kiera?” The incomparable Cat Grant almost floated in to do this interview, she was that mystical and ethereal. “Once you do this, your life will be changed, and the horrid, ridiculous guest appearances start.”

“I’m sure. This is exactly what I need to do.” Kara takes a relaxing deep breath to calm her nerves.

“And none of your family knows you’re doing this?” Cat’s eyebrow makes an ever present curious arch.

“Nope…Though this would be a good surprise.” A slightly nervous, but at peace chuckle was the clear indicator that she was ready.

“Well then…” Cat gave her famous, let’s get down to business smirk. “Let’s make history.”

*The Lena Luthor Foundation--Head Office*

Catching up on some paperwork, Lena had lost track of time.

“Knock knock.” A rap on the door frame from Andrea had greeted her. “Figured you could use the company and pick me up.”

“Andrea.” A smile brighter than Rao itself was the indicator that she needed a break. “You’re a lifesaver. And thank you. I lost track of time, I actually forgot to eat.”

“Well, when Kara is off changing the world in her new Girl Boss position, someone needs to be there as back up.” Andrea began to unpack a bag of Big Belly Burger, and turn on the tv in Lena’s office. “So, where is Kara exactly? Didn’t you tell me she would be here too?”

“She was, but she had something come up with Cat about changing the layout of their next issue. And something that big, I wouldn’t keep her from that. I told her she could simply make up to me at home.” Hiding her smirk when she said that was not even going to happen.

“I bet.” A chuckle was bound to happen. “I’m happy for you, Lena. Ever since our last catch up after Alex and Kelly’s wedding, it seems like you and Kara are closer than ever.” Andrea was genuinely happy for her friend.

But what she didn’t know was that there was indeed a moment between her and Kara at the wedding. However, just as she was about to say those three words, Nia had called them to wave goodbye to the blushing brides.

“We are. It feels very cathartic that we can just be ourselves with each other. And after all of that time I spent being angry at her for simply…” She definitely couldn’t reveal Kara’s secret. “Keeping a family secret to herself, I had time to think about all of that.” Lena shrugged as she ate.

*The Suburbs of National City*

Family Movie Night was in full swing at the Danvers-Olsen household. Tonight’s plans: Chocolate Drizzle Popcorn, A giant order of potstickers no one had to fight over because Kara wasn’t there to inhale them like a Hoover vacuum, and a big pitcher of lemonade with “special additions” for the adults.

“Alex, hurry up! The movie is starting.” Kelly hollered from the living room

“I’m coming.” She warmly chuckled, followed by a delightful peck on the lips and greeted Kelly upon her return. “Movie nights require extra blankets.” Alex lays one over Kelly and Esme, who was practically shoveling the popcorn by the handful.

“And I feel honored to have finally made a movie night. It’s been a while since I’ve visited. The Tower has kept me rather busy. With you ladies enjoying your time off, and Kara being a big shot with Cat, Brainy, Nia and M’Gann are helping as much as they can.” J’onn grinned warmly as he leaned back in his armchair.

“And tell M’Gann we said thank you for her gift. That Martian salt lamp, I’ll admit, was a little…odd. But the living room was the perfect place for it.” Alex quickly retorts.

“Sssssh.” Esme takes a break from chewing. “You guys are going to miss the best part.” She jokingly glares at them with her crystalline amber-brown eyes.

“It’s the beginning.” Kelly could help but laugh at her daughter’s reaction.

“Exactly. Everything you need to know is in the beginning and I don't want to miss a thing.” She goes right back to devouring her popcorn, eyes practically glued to the TV.

All three adults exchange a glance that read “I swear she’s smarter than all of us.”

“She gets that from you.” Kelly smirked, mouthing to Alex, before turning to the screen herself.

While watching, Alex just took in her surroundings for a moment. For all her life, she had dreamed of having a family of her own. Of having a partner that would love her regardless, good times and bad. Pinching herself to check if it was real was no longer necessary. Her dream had finally come true. With a content exhale, she wrapped her arm around Kelly, pulling her close to snuggle under their blanket.

*CatCo Bullpen*

“Thirty seconds to air, Miss Grant.” A camera assistant reminds them as the equipment setup is finished.

“Are you ready to make history?” Cat smirked.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.” Kara took a deep breath, closing her eyes just for a moment. In that moment, all of that conflicting weight about having to choose between Supergirl, and Kara Danvers…was gone. Yes, she still had the trauma she never really dealt with, but finding a therapist would be tomorrow’s plan. Right now, she wanted to show those little girls out there who look up to her, that you can have as many sides to you as you want.

With a definitive and proud nod to the camera person, the red light turns on.

“Hello National City. You know her as Kara Danvers, CatCo’s Ace reporter and NEW Editor In Chief. But tonight, it is my great honor to introduce to you…Supergirl.”

As she was saying those words, trying to remain as professional as possible, she could feel her sense of pride grow. Cat had known Kara since the start. Yes, she was mean and hostile. But it was only because she wanted Kara to see her full potential, and as soon as she figured out that Kara and Supergirl were one in the same, she pushed Kara harder. She knew the doubts were still there. Hence the blunt, but caring pep talk she had given her over the phone. Cat always knew how great Kara’s value was. Being able to not only break the story about Supergirl, but to be able to interview her protege in the end…She hadn’t had too many “proud mom” moments in her life, but seeing the person Kara had become over the years right in front of her; The growth she could see from Kara’s smile alone, it was certainly just that.

And even though Cat knew her identity for years, hearing her mentor say it, seeing her mentor smile while saying it, it took all of her willpower to not tear up. In that presence space, Kara and Supergirl were whole.

*The Lena Luthor Foundation--Head Office*

Andrea had nearly had her milkshake come out of her nose watching the TV. “Wait, you’re telling me…” Her Sage/Mint Green eyes wider than usual, she had to set down her dinner. “All of those times. The time Supergirl saved me when Nxly nearly threw me up against my back office wall, that weird white tiger incident…”

Lena simply sat there, stifling a chuckle while nodding. “Yeah. It’s a lot. But it was for Kara to tell you herself, and not me.”

Rubbing her face as if that would help the news process faster, Andrea leaned back in her office chair getting pained realization across her face. “Kara was missing for those weeks. Her hesitancy to write about the Phantoms. Her being scrambled…oh my god.”

“Andrea, it's okay.” Lena reaches for her friend’s hand to assure her.

“It’s not Lena.” Shaking her head, refusing to act like she was nice to Kara. “I was nothing but rude to Kara. I shot down every idea, criticized her work when it was perfectly fine. I couldn’t even pick up on the fact that the Phantom situation probably caused her even more trauma after I forced her to write about it.”

“That’s an understatement.” Lena whispers under her breath.

“Even sending William to flat out snoop on her and the Super Friends was a dumb move. It…” Andrea was flashing back to that video.

“Don’t even go there. It wasn’t your fault. As nice a guy as he was, he could’ve prevented his own death. Sending that video to guilt trip you was a shite move on his part.” That was one thing that made Lena angry about that situation: there was an easy solution, but someone with a small brain decided to have the last word.

“I know.” Giving a somewhat sad smile, Andrea was grateful for Lena’s assurance and advice. “And Hopefully opening a school in his honor, as well as an award, is the first step to getting future Kara Danvers’, Nia Nal’s and William Dey’s pursuing the truth.” Looking at the clock. “Well, I should go. Tell Kara I said hi.” She gives Lena a much needed hug, and turns on her heel.

“I will Andrea. Drive safe.” As soon as she left, she practically lunged for her phone.

“Two things: That suit, The Cher Clueless vibes REALLY suit you ;). And when you get home…we need to talk.”

With an effervescent smirk, her own heart growing warmer by the second, Lena sat back in her office chair, and watched the rest of the interview with Kara and Cat. She had always been proud of Kara; who wouldn’t of their own best friends accomplishments? But with every word Kara spoke, Lena could visibly see how much her words to Kara at Alex’s wedding helped.

“My girlfriend is HOT.” She chuckled to herself.

*The Suburbs of National City*

A silence had fallen in the Danvers-Olsen household. While J’onn, Kelly and Alex were a mixture of shock and pride, Alex especially. There was her baby sister, at peace with who she is on TV, being interviewed by the person who had seen her grow just as much. Her eyes were glassy with tears, causing her vision to slightly blur. Despite the stinging in her corneas, a smile as big as the milky way galaxy was plastered right across her face.

“Aunt Kara!” Esme on the other hand, practically flew off the couch to sit closer to the TV so she could watch her aunt in all her glory.

The look she had on her face was priceless, magnified by one hundred.

“Well, if that isn’t the cutest thing on this planet.” Kelly grinned, watching Esme. “I don’t think I’ve seen Esme with this much wonder before.”

“Wouldn’t you if your Aunt was a superhero?” J’onn beamed, listening to the interview questions. “Even being interviewed, she has a gift with words.”

“I’m not surprised. If there was one subject she was good at in high school, it was creative writing.” Alex quickly dabbed her eyes so she could have a clearer view while watching. “I always thought Kara would do something like this, but just print. I had no idea that she was going to let Cat interview her.”

“It’s pretty full circle if you think about it. That one issue of CatCo you showed me, Cat was the one to break the story. I think it’s poetic that Cat is the one to finally get Kara to open up about being Supergirl.” Wise as ever, Kelly too had a twinkle of happiness watching.

“But that would mean…” Alex’s cogs were turning. “Oh…wow. That means Cat has always known too.”

“Aunt Kara really needed a different disguise.” Esme laughed at her own joke.

“Yeah…glasses were definitely not the best idea.” Alex responded with a resounding agreement.

“Can we go see Aunt Kara tomorrow to tell her we saw the interview?” Esme turns to all three of them, puppy dog eyes turned all the way up to 11.

“She mastered that quickly.” J’onn smirked at her reaction, watching Alex and Kelly slowly but surely cave.

“If she’s not too busy with work?” Alex turned to Kelly for the assist.

“I think your Aunt Kara would love that surprise.” Kelly booped her precious little button nose.

“Yay!” Esme cheered. “I’m going to go draw a picture of her to give it to her tomorrow before bed.” She takes off running to her room.

“I will take that as my cue that movie night is over.” J’onn surges from his chair to give the girls each a hug.

“Thanks again for coming, J’onn. Esme wouldn’t let up about inviting you to movie night.” Kelly jokes, returning his sentiment.

“She really does have everyone wrapped around her finger.” He fondly jokes right back.

“I wouldn't have it any other way.” Alex gives him a bear hug with a pleased feeling of content. Both she and Kelly waved goodbye, then began to pick up the aftermath of snacks.

“So, how are you feeling?” Kelly could always tell when something was on Alex’s mind.

“Like someone just shook the emotional magic eight ball that was inside me, and asked “Is Alex going to cry?” Answer: Without question.” Alex’s sense of humor always somehow made her feel less emotional in order to get herself to stop crying. “Though, I’m shocked Kara didn’t text, or reveal anything about this.”

“Maybe that was the point of the surprise. All of those pep talks you’ve given her over the years, plus Lena, and whatever blunt and slight scary pep talk Cat gave her…was the push she needed to do this.” Kelly came up behind Alex to wrap her arms around her waist, resting her chin on her shoulder. “It’s nice to see your sister be her authentic self.”

“You’re right.” Grinning, Alex spun to meet Kelly’s luminous brown eyes. “And between you and I, I think Lena did most of the pushing to get her to this point. Now if she’d only just remove those blinders of hers.”

“You’re bad.” Kelly teased before leaning in to meet Alex’s lips the rest of the way.

“Cue the song Bad to the Bone.” Alex, quite pleased with herself, closes the gap. “Come on, let’s go see how our little Bob Ross is doing on her masterpiece.”

Hand in hand, they stood watching Esme. Swelling with a sense of home and completeness, that couldn’t help but turn to mush watching their daughter reach for color after color as she drew Kara on TV. To them, this was their definition of perfect.

*CatCo Bullpen*

“Thank you, Miss Grant. This is exactly what I needed.” With a loud exhale, Kara felt freer than she had ever felt in her entire life.

“I should be the one thanking you, Kiera.” Cat admits. “These next words I’m about to stay within this bullpen…” She then turns to give the iciest glare to the camera operators. And just like that, as if by magic they disappeared. “I may be snarky, callus and rude…” Immediately, her finger goes up to ward off any sarcastic comments that would come out of Kara’s mouth. “But I really do care. Those Groucho Marx glasses of yours, you didn’t need them. That disguise worked about as well as the superhero’s first suit in a pilot episode on the CW. I already knew you were special. Whether it be your writing, or how you interact with people. As far as I'm concerned, you were Supergirl in the office. Even then, I knew you were giving people a sense of Hope. Being able to do this here, with you…Not only has it been the highlight of my entire career, it is the moment I am most proud of.”

“I don’t --I…” Kara quickly pinched her tear ducts to stop herself from crying before giving a reserved, but very big hug. “Thank you.” She shakes her feelings away, taking a step back.

“You’re welcome.” Cat didn’t let many people hug her; Kara was one of those lucky few. “Now you better run along to your girlfriend, because I’m sure she wants to see you after this momentous occasion.”

“How did you?!” Kara’s face instantly goes Hubba Bubba pink.

“Oh please, it's about as obvious as the beginning of every Christmas and Valentine’s Day movie on the Hallmark Channel. Go.” Cat shooed her as she packed up her stuff.

A booming woosh was all that was heard as Kara left. She knew she had to figure out what the second half of Lena's text meant. Did she forget something? Was she in trouble for eating the last piece of cheesecake? Getting an I’m Sorry as a just in case was her best bet.

Here it is. My very first chapter of my Supergirl fanfic. I’m super nervous about sharing, but please let me know what you think in the comments, and any KIND constructive criticism you have as well.

hello!! can you write cronus being friends with human eridan’s matesprit (m or gn)? ty!!

thanks for sending this ask this is such a different and cool idea, im so sry it took so long ;-;

Warning: none rly, just some sibling behavior between the Amporas/ maybe foul language

Disclaimer: do not copy, repost, take or feed to AI or NFTs anything I post

Masterlist

A Spy on the Inside - platonic Cronus x Eridan's human matesprit!reader

Despite how clingy Eridan is with you he's still very privy about his personal life

not with you, but with his "extended family"

it took him some perigees being with you before you to even met his lusus

in Eri’s defense his charge has a horrible temper and has hated everyone he met before meeting you

But Cronus is a whole different thing

Eridan told you multiple stories when you were meeting each other of his great ancestor, a troll legend that worked under )(er Imperious Condescension herself, the Orphaner Dualscar

and now that he met pre-scratch Dualscar and it was just bizarre to say the least, and to be honest, he didn't really like him at all

he actively avoided the older Ampora every chance he got

and he would do anything in his power to keep you as far away from the sea douche as possible

When you asked him about it he waved his hands around telling you that you're just to handsome and precious for Cronus to not flirt with you

Eridan also told you of the not at all pleasant experience he had when he met Cronus

and with that you decided that you yourself didn't really want o meet the failed Orphaner

Especially because of all descriptions you heard of him from the others, he sounded like a creep, a weirdo and someone you wouldn't aproach without at least bear spray and a taser

But as always, fate had other plans for you

Today you were going out to grab yourself some coffee, take a walk to get out of the house for a bit and have some time for yourself

Cronus, who just can't mind his damn business for the life of him, saw you for afar, he immediately recognised the scarf Eridan "lent you" and approached you

fortunately not with the intention to flirt or even bother you, but with a plan to piss his little dancestor off as much as possible

Cronus ended up actually being someone fun and easy to talk to and once he revealed to you his diabolical plan, you were immediately on board

Every time you saw each other you would tell some of the most embarrassing stories of Eridan that would come to your minds or coming up with various different pranks you could pull on the small troll

and next time you saw said troll you'd drop little hints that you knew of some stories he has too embarrased to tell you

But as time went on you started to hang out more and more just for the fun of it, to enjoy each other’s company

And once the little violet found you out he was pissed

as well as worried for you

But when he found out you and cronus were just being little shits together, no second intentions, he went back to being pissed

for a whole ass week he didn't talk to neither of you

not until you showed up at his door with ice cream and some shitty fashion police episodes

Little Danny really missed you and jumped into your arms as soon as he opened the door

He knew he couldn't do much about your new friendship other than cutely pout at you while you laughed

Eridan loves your laugh and always tries to make you smile, but not when it is because youre laughing at his old wiggler photos Cronus got from Skyhorse Dad

Despite all the teasing and joking around you still loved him and didn't just want to make fun of him

so you and Cro started to work together, once more behind Danny’s back, but this time to craft him a surprise

Together you wrote him a short story of a prince who was prophesied by angels to use their magical powers to defeat a great evil, said destiny being passed down to them by their ancestor who failed to fulfill it

ok, cronus came up with most of the plot and ofc, the self centered bitch had to insert himself in some way

but the idea was just so fun that you just needed to write it

besides, it didn't need to be super good, it just had to be readable and fun for Eri

Once you present the gift to him all the pouting and grumbling is gone and in it’s place you got an arm full of matesprit

As much as your fish prince pretends that he doesn't like magic you can literally see how his eyes light up and how his ear fins flicker with curiosity when it comes to it

And while reading your story its no different

the troll curls up on one of his softest piles, dragging you with him for cuddles, and reads it all in one day

Eridan just absolutely loves it all, the overused plot, how the main character is “just so like him!”, the grammar mistakes you ended up overlooking

by nightfall he’s purring to you until you fall asleep as a thanks, he will maybe talk to Cronus next night, right now he’d rather be spending some time with you

since cronus stole you away for some nights for this -3-

because of my need to understand characters way too hard in order to write them I’m going to ask you some questions that will probably help me. mainly Robin and Adam centered because I plan to write them as they are sickeningly adorable

What would they do if they got a day purely to themselves

favorite activities/hobbies of Adam and Robin that do not include tormenting humans. I mean stuff like would they binge watch a tv show they like

would they go anywhere fun on a day off like the park or would they stay home in pjs all day

favorite snacks of theirs? I’m talking things like hershey kisses or other sweets

1: Day to themselves? Rare, but the ones they do get are usually days they go on dates or spend time with their family. They’ll be happy just to have a day off. Purely to themselves— no one else involved— date night or just a night at home.

2: Robin loves anything outdoors. Adam does too, but there’s not many things he can do with his back. They like to dance together and do puzzles— like big, ornate puzzles. 3D puzzles, 2D puzzles, any puzzle. They love it. One of their favorite summer activities is taking some of the kids out on the boat (referenced in my Father’s Day one-shot) or to the beach (Adam stays on land and under an umbrella).

3: They’ll probably go out! They’re busy bodies, staying home all day feels wrong for them— even on days off. They like to go to zoos, museums, parks, restaurants— they have so many souvenirs because their kids make them buy one for every major place they go to (aka, anywhere with a gift-shop)

4: Robin loves strawberry shortcake, and Adam loves caffeine-free coffee cake (he cannot have caffeine. He does try to have it but is always stopped. His body cannot process it properly). But smaller snacks? For Robin I’d say she likes those chocolate-covered pretzels and kitkats (she eats them like a heathen). For Adam I’d go with literally everything. The Dad will eat everything handed to him.

#welcome to the table #wttt #welcome to the table au #wttt gov #family ties au #wttt assistant #wttt oc #ask and answered #Adam has literally eaten Genuine Mud Pies because his baby kids make it for him and ask him to eat it #Eating Kitkats like a heathen is the only sin against food Robin will commit #Days off? You mean Date Night #Adam dresses like a dad Always btw and Robin looks good in everything

in business, in life (silvio ricci x oc [hyacinth])

Event: Ikemen Prince gift exchange hosted by @ikemenlibrary and @sunnyikemen || Hugehugehuge thank you to these two for being such amazing organizers and guiding me through my first-ever gift exchange <3

This was written for the lovely @tacogawa ! This is something I wouldn’t normally write, so I hope I did your OC and Silvio justice- i had so much fun and inspiration writing this, plz enjoy!!

Summary: Silvio claims he’s the best businessman in all of Rhodiolite and Benitoite combined. After finalizing an investment plan with his fiance in her bookstore, she challenges that claim in a series of business competitions!

Notes/Warnings/Tags: Established relationship (Silvio and Hyacinth are engaged) + Found family with Leon, Clavis, Jin, and Nokto aka some of the other princes that were requested + my attempts at humor + fluff at the end; EXTREMEEELLYY minor spoilers for Silvio’s backstory, it’s only there if you squint!

Word Count: ~2.7k

“There’s one last thing I need to show you,” Hyacinth declared, close to finishing up the tour of her bookshop. She stopped right in front of an unassuming door that said STAFF ONLY.

“I don’t need to see your supply closet, Hyacinth,” Silvio said brashly.

“But-”

“I trust that you know how to spend your money on cleaning expenses and your facilities.”

“Oh,” she blinked. “Why can’t you ever give a straightforward compliment?”

“It’s like you always say: I’m hopeless.” A ghost of a smile could be seen upon Silvio’s lips.

Hyacinth playfully rolled her eyes at him, “At least you’re self-aware.” She gestured to the door, “This is not my supply closet, though. It’s, well, let me just-” Slowly opening the door, she walked inside the room and turned on the light switch. Silvio followed closely behind.

His eyes scanned the room which was filled with rows of display cases containing gems of all colors and sizes, reflecting light from the chandeliers dangling overhead. Some were unrefined, but many of them were polished, placed within jewelry as the center stones of rings or hanging onto necklaces and bracelets. “Not bad,” he said. He held some unrefined sapphire in his hand and squinted. “These are…Obsidianite, aren’t they? All of them are.”

Hyacinth nodded.

“How did you manage to obtain these?”

“Remember how my parents were Benitoitian pirates? I still have some connections, some old friends who provide me with a…variety of goods, some would say.”

“That’s one hell of a way to stimulate the economy.” Silvio ran his hands along the display cases, “Always full of surprises, ain’t ya?”

“I just thought you should know now since you’re actually planning on moving forward with investing,” Hyacinth explained. “If, somehow, I get caught, I don’t want you to be in hot water too. Not as a prince of Benitoite.”

He snorted. “Is that really why you haven’t told me about this? If I’m investing, there’s no way you’d get caught, and even if you did, I’d bribe them into silence.”

Hyacinth let out a breath of relief. “So, really, this is okay?”

“Business is business. Though, this ain’t the way I’d do it.”

“Oh yeah?” Hyacinth crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame as she watched her partner walk through the room. “How would the great Prince Silvio do it?”

“First of all,” he picked up a necklace with a sparkling light pink diamond, laying it on his palm to see how it would reflect the light. “I would store these better. The light and humidity here can degrade some of them over time.”

Hyacinth sighed. “I know that. You think I have enough money to get full-scale climate control here?”

“Second of all, the reason you’re not making enough money for that is because this is a bookshop,” he continued, ignoring his fiance. “I would auction these off instead of running this store underground. You’re not gonna reach the right audience by selling these here.”

“I’m not trying to sell to rich strangers. I like forging personal relationships with my buyers. I want these gems and jewelry to go to the people who will take care of them.”

“You’re not making any money like that.” Silvio put the diamond necklace around Hyacinth’s neck and whispered into her ear. “This is why I’m the better business person out of the two of us.”

Hyacinth stepped forward and turned around to face Silvio. “No way!”

Silvio smirked, ignoring Hyacinth’s words while admiring how beautiful she looked with a diamond necklace that matched the engagement ring he gave her.

“Silvio, you are not checking me out right now!”

He merely shrugged.

“Okay,” she paused as the gears turned in her head. “I challenge you to a barter battle,” she said, pointing her index finger at him. Hyacinth’s eyes flitted around the room. “Whoever can trade up to the most valuable item-“ her eyes landed on a pencil next to Silvio. She grabbed the pencil from the table and shoved it towards Silvio “-from this pencil, is the better businessperson.”

He took the pencil from her, unimpressed. “Y’know you’re talking to the number one negotiator in all of Benitoite and Rhodiolite, right?”

“Do you accept my challenge or not?”

He sighed. “You know you’re gonna lose, right?”

“We’ll see about that,” Hyacinth replied. “Okay. If we’re doing this, though, we need to do it properly. We need a third party to determine the value of our final goods.” She tapped her chin thoughtfully, “Ah, yes! Jin and Leon should be in town later in the evening. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind.”

“Those two aren’t qualified to judge-”

“You’re scared to lose, aren’t you?” Hyacinth asked, taunting him.

“As if, woman. Even with their biased judgment, I’ll still win,” he smirked, flashing a cocky smile.

“May the best businessperson win!” Hyacinth exclaimed triumphantly.

+++

“After our long deliberation,” Jin started, “we are now ready to declare a winner.”

Hyacinth couldn’t stand still, the air around her was charged with anticipation. Meanwhile, Silvio stood still next to her, his arms crossed with a cocky smile on his face.

“Before we do that though, we just wanna say that we thought both of you did a great job and that the final monetary value was very high from each final item, much more than we expected,” Leon stated cordially. “The winner of this barter battle is Hyacinth!”

Silvio’s jaw dropped momentarily, stunned into silence.

Hyacinth grinned, “Aw, thank you so much, guys. Not for choosing me as the winner, but for taking the time out of your busy schedules to do this.”

“Of course, Hyacinth! You’re family, we’re glad to do anything we can. Plus, we haven’t been able to see you as much ever since Silvio took you away,” Leon teased.

“Yeah, it’s not fair that he gets to have you all to himself now,” Jin frowned. “He better be treating you right.”

“Absolutely. He treats me like I’m royalty.”

“How did Hyacinth win? What was her item?” Silvio asked in disbelief.

“Given that his brothers are also royalty, then I don’t think that’s a good thing,” Leon laughed, ignoring Silvio.

“Um, he treats me like a queen?” Hyacinth tried correcting herself.

“His mother was a queen, remember? That didn’t pan out well,” Jin added.

“I’m right here, dammit!” Silvio exclaimed. “Hyacinth, what the hell was your item?”

A soft smile painted her lips, “Let me show you.” With everyone following her, she opened the door to her bookshop. They walked past shelves and shelves and arrived at the back corner. Silvio was met with a deep purple rolled-arm sofa, one that was definitely not here before. Its arms were gilded in gold and the velvet was fit for royalty. “I managed to get some seating for the space. I’ve gotten so much customer feedback about having a more comfortable space to read, so I managed to trade for this.”

Trying to hide his pride in Hyacinth, Silvio opened his mouth to speak but then closed it.

“Yeah, we ultimately decided Hyacinth as the winner even though your item had a larger estimated value. It’s because she keeps her customers in mind. We thought that was the most important aspect of business,” Leon clarified.

“I knew I traded to the highest value,” Silvio retorted. He turned to Hyacinth, clicking his tongue, “I could’ve just bought you a sofa. As many as you wanted. As many as your customers wanted.”

She shook her head. “These sofas are actually from a customer’s family. They’re priceless.”

Silvio only sighed as Hyacinth stared at the furniture fondly.

Jin let out a hearty chuckle, “Your business strengths complement each other well. You make up for each other’s weaknesses. The two of you are great business partners and life partners.”

Hearing Jin’s words, Hyacinth grinned widely at Silvio. He couldn’t help but smile back at her.

“Thank you for being our entertainment for the day, we were able to kill two birds with one stone! While we followed the two of you around, we were also observing all the townspeople and places today. Rhodolite feels like a major trading hub whenever Silvio’s in town,” Leon said. “Thanks for that.”

“Money follows me wherever I go,” Silvio said smugly.

“The results of our competition tell me otherwise,” Hyacinth mumbled under her breath.

Silvio’s eye twitched in irritation and laughter erupted from Jin and Leon. “Take care, you two. We gotta head back to the castle. We’ll see you soon,” Leon said, bidding the pair farewell.

Silvio and Hyacinth watched as the two princes of Rhodolite walked away. “The only reason you won is because they’re softies! Jin and Leon don’t know business,” Silvio complained.

Hyacinth hummed dismissively. “You said you’d still win despite that though.”

“I traded up to the highest value item. Is that not winning?

“Not to Jin and Leon. And to me,” Hyacinth snickered. “We could have a rematch if you’d like, say, with Clavis and Nokto as the judges. A new challenge, perhaps.”

“Those judges know commerce a little better. What would this new challenge be?”

“Whoever has the most sales in a day wins. I’m sure you’re an investor in some other nearby bookstore. Be an employee for the day.”

He scoffed, “My days of working for someone else are behind me.”

“Well, do you have any better ideas? You’re not scared again, are you?”

“Again? Since when was I afraid of any business challenge? I never was and I sure as hell am not now. I accept.”

“Great! Clavis and Nokto could monitor us to see our customer interactions as well. They can determine the winner holistically,” Hyacinth said cheerfully.

+++

Silvio approached the sign that said ROSE PETAL PAGES. The urge to kick the door down was raging through him, but he thought about what Hyacinth had always told him: “What if you break the door? It’s gonna be other people that pay for it…not everyone has money to throw away like you.” He sighed and glared at the door. Begrudgingly reaching for the doorknob, Silvio shuddered at the rare feeling of having to open a door.

The disgust on his face stayed. “Prince Silvio?” the merchant at the sales desk greeted him. “H-How are you doing? We have a new shipment of the finest books from-“

“I’m here to sell, not buy. You can take the day off, I’ll do your job for ya today. I’ll pay ya too.”

“W-What?”

“I’m here on important business. Take the day off or risk losing your top investor.”

“Y-yes, Prince Silvio.” Hurriedly picking up his bags, he rushed out of the door.

“Are all your investees this scared of you?” A voice asked from behind a shelf.

“Clavis,” Silvio greeted the purple-haired prince dryly.

“A little birdie told me you’d be at a bookstore in town.”

“Yeah, and that same birdie told me you and Nokto would be better judges than those other brothers of yours.”

“Indeed, business expertise does fall more under the domain of the foreign affairs faction. Hyacinth did mention that you felt last week’s challenge wasn’t being assessed objectively.”

“It wasn’t,” Silvio replied curtly as he walked behind the sales counter to evaluate the money box.

“Did you try to bribe Jin and Leon into naming you the winner? Prince Silvio of Benitoite begging at the feet of Rhodiolitian princes — what a headline!”

“Hyacinth bribed them with attention before I could get to them with money,” Silvio grumbled.

“Well, I can’t blame them. She seems busier than us these days. Luke always complains about her lack of presence these days.”

Silvio was always aware of Hyacinth’s relationship with the princes, all of them acting like her older brothers. He sighed, “How’d you know I’d be at this bookstore?”

“Just because you’re investing in private businesses doesn’t mean that information is private,” Clavis smiled slyly.

“Fair,” Silvio replied as he opened the money box and dropped in some money for the worker he just told to leave.

“It seems you’re paying that man more than three times his daily wage,” Clavis observed.

Silvio scoffed as he shut the money box, “What sort of patron do you take me for?”

+++

“Good morning, Hyacinth. What lovely books are you selling today?”

“Nokto, it’s been so long! Thank you for indulging me and judging these silly business games.”

“I’d indulge you anytime,” he said with a wink.

“Uh huh,” Hyacinth deadpanned. “I have a book just for you.” She grabbed a tattered book from under the desk, some of its pages falling out. “It’s been gathering dust, waiting for you.”

Nokto’s face instantly turned sour as he looked at the cover. The almanac’s title was Growing Bellpeppers: From Planting to Harvest. “Ugh, I think I’m gonna throw up.”

Hyacinth laughed, “Go throw up outside then!”

“Please, you’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

“But you’re gonna drive away all of the female customers,” Hyacinth whined.

“Or I’ll bring them in.”

Hyacinth stared at Nokto in mock disgust as he grinned back. The two of them almost immediately erupted in laughter.

“Don’t mind me, I’ll just watch you work as I lounge on your new, luxurious couch. Jin and Leon told me about the look on Silvio’s face when they said you were the winner. I’d love to see it myself.”

“Silvio and I expect you to judge us fairly,” you said, giving him a pointed look.

“Sure, sure,” Nokto replied as he put his arms behind his head, sinking comfortably into the sofa. “Anything for the future princess of Benitoite.”

+++

“For his shrewd marketing and patronage of his businesses, Nokto and I have declared Silvio as the sole winner of this…little game of yours,” Clavis announced.

“As expected,” Silvio acknowledged.

“No! Don’t tell me it’s because I showed Nokto that book,” Hyacinth feigned offense.

“Unfortunately, no. It was actually because you hurt my feelings, saying I would drive all the ladies away. Oh, how you scorn me,” Nokto replied sarcastically.

Hyacinth just shook her head with a smile. “As much as Hyacinth is a great communicator, Silvio just had more sales. He was very clever, using his princely status to draw in a larger crowd.”

“Ah, nothing beats the prince privilege,” Hyacinth noted in defeat. “If only I had that.”

Nokto shrugged, “Maybe, but you could’ve used your future princess privilege to draw in a crowd. I’m so sad that you couldn’t take my hint.”

She sighed, “I guess you’re right. Silvio actually won this one fair and square.”

“Damn right I did,” Silvio replied.

“At least I lose with grace!”

“The two of you complement each other well. Silvio is savvy with negotiations and the handling of money, while Hyacinth is incredibly attuned to her customers’ needs and efficient in organization,” Clavis concluded.

“Leon and Jin mentioned something like that too,” Silvio mumbled.

+++

“Thank you, my love, for entertaining these games of mine,” Hyacinth said as she leaned into Silvio’s shoulder, wrapping an arm around his torso where they sat next to each other in the moving carriage.

“It was my pleasure,” Silvio said quietly as he ruffled Hyacinth’s auburn hair. “You held your own against me, I’m impressed.”

“We’re tied, one to one, I think I did more than just ‘holding my own.’”

“Headstrong and savvy,” Silvio observed, “This is why I’m gonna marry you.”

“Ah, so you’re just marrying me because I’m a good business partner?” Hyacinth teased.

“I’m marrying you because you’re my life partner. You make up for everything I can’t even imagine doing or being- not just when it comes to business,” Silvio said sincerely. “Sure, you push me to be a better businessman, but you push me to be a better person too.”

“I love you,” Hyacinth muttered into Silvio’s chest, inhaling his salty, metallic scent that always reminded her of her childhood — the sandy ports of Benitoite, filled with barter and brine.

“I love you too,” Silvio replied as he ran his forefinger across the engagement ring that found its home on Hyacinth’s finger. It wasn’t made with the finest Obsidianite minerals, despite how easily Silvio could’ve obtained them. Instead, its band was filled with the sand of Benitoite’s beaches, and the center stone was a modest light pink diamond, exquisitely carved into a Rhodiolitian rose. It symbolized not just a union of allied nations or trading partners that helped each other, but that of a Rhodiolitian citizen and a Benitoitan prince. A union of two people — two lovers — who vow to cherish and support each other in business and in life.

A Man of Presumed Importance

[No content warnings for this one. Just having fun while writing]

It was around midday when Aladdin and his group of allies broke into the Citadel. Sitting upon the throne awaiting their arrival was Mozenrath, proud as he ever was and grinning from ear to ear. Finally, he had Aladdin in his midst. He would have preferred a smaller number of people or animals in his presence, but no matter. Today was the day that he got what he wanted, all because of a previous intruder who looked too similar to Aladdin for it to be a coincidence!

“Oh, you’ve arrived safely!” Mozenrath exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air in mock-excitement. “I was so worried in this climate that you would be too busy for me!”

“Cut the chatter, Mozenrath,” Aladdin snapped, his eyes dark with anger. “Where is the prisoner?!”

Mozenrath barely held back a smile as he let out a gasp in mock-offense, clutching a hand to his chest. “Why, your manners, street rat! If I didn't know better, I'd say you weren't excited to see your family again!”

Aladdin grit his teeth hard, glaring at the necromancer. If what they had heard from Mozenrath was true, then he had taken a person hostage that was connected to Aladdin by blood. Was it his father?! He hadn't seen him in so long! Was this how they met again?!

Mozenrath's grin grew wide in sadistic pleasure as he watched Aladdin fume to himself. “Oh, strike a nerve, did I?! Well, why don't I reunite the two of you, then?!”

With a final laugh that seemed to echo throughout the room, Mozenrath raised his gloved right hand in a fist before flicking out all of his fingers at once. Immediately, a pitch-black substance emerged from the floor in between the lord and his guests, growing upward until it was about five feet tall. Once it seemed to reach its limit, it splashed outward, opening itself like a flower and spreading its adhesive surface all around it, revealing the trapped upper-half of the man squirming about in its center. A man who looked awfully similar to Aladdin. ...Someone whom Aladdin was all-too familiar with.

“YOU?!” Aladdin snarled.

Mozenrath laughed, humored by the street rat's shock and anger. “Aw, aren't you happy to-”

“WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!”

Mozenrath’s voice faded, his eyes widening in an offended expression. He didn't expect his evil gloating to be cut off so quickly. The necromancer glared down at the street rat, only to find that Aladdin wasn't looking at him in the first place. The prince-consort’s eyes were wide and his teeth grit in anger as he stared at the man in the black sand.

Even Princess Jasmine looked surprised. Her eyes went from Mozenrath to his captive to Aladdin as she tried to understand the situation. “Aladdin, what is going on?”

“He knows what's going on!” Aladdin snarled, pointing an accusing finger at the sorcerer's captive. Mozenrath looked over at the man in the sand, his eyes now narrowing suspiciously.

“Behan,” Aladdin continued, almost sounding like he was scratching the name out of his throat, “did you not learn your lesson last time?!”

The captive in the sand looked both surprised and rather sheepish upon being called out in such a way. He quickly raised a hand up to rub at his neck as he spoke. “Well, I wished to see my nephew, and I got it. Another plan of Behan Yerbak!”

“ANOTHER PLAN?!” Aladdin snapped before pointing at Mozenrath. “Are you working for him this time?!”

Now things made more sense. Mozenrath frowned and narrowed his eyes further at his troublesome captive. “Oh, have I brought you in the middle of a family spat?”

This seemed to trigger something in Jasmine's memory. She gasped and then pointed accusingly at the Aladdin-lookalike. “YOU! Do you have any idea how much trouble you brought to my father?!”

Behan seemed to be taken aback for a second before giving Jasmine a classy, toothy grin. “Ah, so my name has been on the tongues of the people! Another reason that I should be-”

Aladdin cut him off. "You are not welcome back in Agrabah."

Behan seemed to perk up, for whatever reason. "Ah, but nephew, think of the riches that-"

“That's enough from you,” Mozenrath cut in sternly, raising up his gloved hand. In an instant, the tar-like sand surrounding the prisoner rose up and splashed over him, enveloping Behan within its magical depths before he was able to talk himself into any more trouble.

With the prisoner out of the way, Mozenrath glared down at Aladdin, who glared up at Mozenrath alongside with his wife and non-human friends.

“Territorial dispute, I see,” Mozenrath grumbled sourly.

Aladdin paused for a moment before nodding slowly, still holding his glare. “Something like that.”

It took a few more seconds before Genie started up with a “WELL-” and was immediately cut off by a blast from Mozenrath's gauntlet, sending the group flying back. Once they regained their bearings, they each hurtled themselves forward. Even if the fight was to free a captive that none of them seemed to care for, they had a score to settle, and being in each other's presence was practically an invitation to bring it up.

What're your aus? I started reading twin snowflakes way back and so far it's the only one I've touched but I'm interested in the others (life has just been busy

Basically all these aus exist because I had the random thought “what could life be like depending on which main RWBY girl ended up liking Jaune. From that, boundless changes and scenarios were born to the point that they’re all incredibly separate down to people who live and how Salem was beat, when, etc.

There’s Lasting Embers, my pride and joy for being the first I did. It’s Dragonslayer shipping. I’ve actually made three completed stories in that au that are drastically shorter than Twin Snowflakes. Frozen Blood is Adam centric, being about if he survived the fall and being saved by a mysterious woman who has an invested interest in keeping him around.

Second is called Shackles, dealing with Blake and Yang reuniting a couple years after saving the world. An unexpected visitor arrives and now the end up going on a mission involving the very subject that strained their relationship.

Third story, which I technically wrote first is Lasting Embers. This is about Jaune and Yang’s daughter, Yujin, celebrating her 15th birthday to the best of her ability when she gets the surprise of a lifetime, her mother and aunt retuning home after over a decade. I’m pretty sure this is people’s favorite story. It’s one of my earliest so it’s a tad rough in comparison to more recent works; I still love it.

Second was Twin Snowflakes but you know more or less that’s it’s about Jaune and Weiss’s kids dealing with a mysterious and chaotic problem that threatens their family; among other things.

Third is Rosebud. That’s Lancaster, which has Carmine Arc-Rose in the center of things. Originally I had planned to write Snow Flakes and Rosebud at the same time but I’m a single person and life is very hard. That being said, it has lots on one shots and a completed story story called Rosebud Prep which is essentially the Prologue that explains why things are the way they are.

Lastly is Premonition. This has the least amount of material so far, mainly consisting of a one shots or questions people had. No full blown story yet but I’ve known forever what it’s about. This au is definitely more laid back and slice of life core than the others.

Everything that’s underlined will send people to a post that has all the chapters plus a little more for each story respectively. Snowflakes isn’t finished yet so such a post doesn’t exist yet. I have quite the journey gather all those together. If I find the time I’ll try making hyper links on the chapters that’ll send readers forward and not just backwards.💀

Also…

interdimensional Moms

interdimensional Dads

Two fun little stories of if the parents of the main kids all met at a table and talked about their lives. Little bit of spoilers obviously but also insight into more things.

Time to ramble about D&D character concepts, because every other DM I know never has any free seats in their campaign.

A rogue who's small, even for the standards of their own race. At a young age they were kidnapped and indoctrinated into a cult centered around a hag coven worshipping some old forsaken god-thing. Throughout their life the character is treated as the runt of the litter, the absolute lowest thing of the cult; so much so that they lose their sense of personhood entirely and refer to themselves as "this" or "it". Inevitably the ritual meant to summon the god-thing into reality goes tits up and explodes the hag coven, allowing the character to escape from the cult and wander somewhere in the wider world. The theme I wanted to go for with this character was 'failure'. A half-feral character with such a substantial lack of social ability/ self-respect/ common sense/ etc., only good at sneaking and backstabbing and spitting poison words - how can such a character grow into something more? How much does it take to reform them? How much internalized failure can be undone?

Another one is more of a comic relief character. A gnome rogue who used to be at the head of a powerful mob organization. She calls herself Brittlebones, but her former lackeys called her "Mom". Turns out that being nice and making homecooked meals for the goons that work for you can ensure their undying loyalty. But after 30-something years of organized crime, Brittlebones decided to turn her back on that life and start new as an adventurer - except her former lackeys are trying to convince her to come back and run the business again, because it's so much nicer when she's around.

Another one is Mool, loxodon barbarian. This one is pretty simple, he's a barbarian with such a low intelligence modifier that he's unable to grasp the concept of evil. He knows how to feel good or bad about things, but beyond that any abstract understanding of morality are lost on him. This was much to the frustration of the wheelchair-bound hag that tried to raise him as her agent of evil. He doesn't get the implications of why she's telling him to kill, he just does it because she cooks dinner and that's why he has to do it, because she told him so. Mool is such a gentle soul, a precious giant bean; he just needs a better wrangler.

The opposite end of the spectrum is Kazh. A barbarian with intelligence as his highest stat, who is frighteningly sharp-witted. He makes the plans of attack, he figures out what the next step should be for the party. But beyond a thin veneer of civility, there's a ravenous beast waiting to pounce and devour. He's especially brutal in combat and has no qualms with abandoning any sense of morality if it can further his bloodlust. Unlike Mool, he's fully aware of the evil he commits, and he revels in it.

Gonna close this post with another martial class (yes it's a theme with me, I don't like using spells all that much), a rogue who's gotten the raw end of a bad deal. Callaghan Black, former son of a noble family invested in the occult, was a bystander to a ritual which opened a rift to the Far Realms, where he bore witness to something mindbreaking: a god being devoured alive. He escaped with his life, but his sanity was shot full of holes. Callaghan used the last of his money on a wizard who promised him to get rid of these memories. Surprise, the wizard majored in necromancy, and used his body as a vessel for an experiment instead. The outcome was a success: Five souls merged into the body of one person, fighting over control of the body. Unfortunately for the wizard and the general population, the soul who won control over the body was a serial killer. I think it would be fun to play five different personalities switiching back and forth, each with their own agenda.

That's all I want to write here. Steal whatever you like if you want to, these characters probably won't ever see actual play otherwise.

That One Time

crossposting: ao3

synopsis: Minnie thinks she remembers life as an Explosion with two older sisters, a notoriously intense celebrity father, and one of the most stylishly self-directed mothers in the world.

for kloktober day 1, favorite character or OTP.

I was planning to unveil some fankids when AOTD came out... and then I promptly killed them! I still think about them sometimes, and I hope I don't get slammed for writing nategail in the year of our lord 2023 after AOTD did a really good job at showing us what ought to happen in situations like that, but I think their family would have been funky and sweet.

full text under the cut:

Minnie was on the edge of her seat watching her family’s faces twist and search around for one another as they waited in the dead center of a mile of three-lane standstill traffic. Driving a hellcat didn’t make anyone immune… The point of the trip was to recreate something Lyssa did years ago: When asked what she wanted for her thirteenth birthday, she threw up her hands and cried out that all she wanted was a normal family. So, they rented an AirBnb within a five minute walking distance from their paternal grandparents’ house and spent two and a half weeks eating, living, and vacationing like a family of “regular jackoffs.”

Lyssa was back from Brown for spring break, and helplessly scrolling social media and trying not to be embarrassed that sitting behind her agitated dad (seething behind the wheel) looked better than taking GHB in Amsterdam like some of the Birkin-toting business administration girlies who called themselves her friends when they read her last name on the panhellenic “rush” interest form. The classes were tough, the readings were long, but aside from being asked for money or to give her father ziploc bags of slimy sex toys when she went home for the holidays, she enjoyed her new phase of life. For the trip, she pulled out some jeans and camisoles and some foam sandals from a couple years ago to make the best of their casual trip. Since she couldn’t do readings or answer emails in a moving car, she was scrolling through a grainy scan of an old Ayn Rand lit crit.

Kenzie looked and acted a lot more like her father, fidgeting and making comments about the people who had given up on civilization altogether and stepped out of their cars. Her snapchat and her instagram stories were being populated by views of the O MPH speedometer she took while her mom wasn’t blocking the shot. Without anything to post, she had nothing to do, and whatever she had coming through her headphones wasn’t entertaining enough. Time is money, and money all depends on content… Kenzie was convinced of her potential to make enough money to live on outside of the inheritance she could expect from their father, and it came at the cost of almost anything fun. Her grainy meal replacement smoothie had melted into a cloudy soup in the cupholder. She reapplied her lip gloss, pulled down the top of her stylish celery green athleisure co-ord and flipped through TikTok.

Mom wasn’t as sensitive as Lyssa, and had been returning emails the whole time they were en-route to the aquarium. Up at the front of the car, the parents had been in a gentle match of social ping-pong, with pokes, small talk, his firm hand resting on her leg or her moisturized fingers, shining like bronze, squeezing his shoulder. She re-tied her curly hair back with a scrunchie (Tampa water had pissed her hair right off… different water meant different products, and it’d been a long time since she had to face the “ethnic hair care” section at a Walmart) and made a face when Dad tried sucking air out of his empty coffee cup for the fourth time.

When she went into the bathroom at the gas station about an hour ago, he ducked in after her and bought three bottles of Johnny Bootlegger. When she came outside, he was finishing off the third one around the corner of the building. Minnie saw her glance over there, but all she did was pull the car around so someone else could get to the pump.

Now, in the jam, all he did was shake. At least, for now… There were times where it lasted five minutes, half an hour, or a week or two at a time, then left quickly, or left and came back, but periodically he’d be shaking for one reason or another. Since his eyes weren’t yellow, he wasn’t slurring his speech, and he wasn’t confused, his daughters knew they could rest easy and stand by; it would pass, it always did. As unnerving it was to see someone so big in every way crumble at the drop of a hat, there was a shared understanding that nobody was enjoying it or causing the sky to fall out on purpose, especially not him. The girls understood their job to stand by and stay the course, whether it meant minding their own business or sending cards to hospital rooms when they can’t be there.

“Fucking… cocksucking-” He touched the gearshift like there would be a point in taking it out of park. Mom laid her hand over his.

“Relax, Nathan. We don’t have anywhere to be. Oh, look-”

Someone walking around leaned against Lyssa’s door, talking to someone else in the lane beside them.

“Are you fucking kidding me?”

“Yeah, Dad, what the fuck is he doing?” Kenzie had her phone out and rolling. If her mother wouldn’t have explicitly prevented her, she would have been streaming their whole vacation live, but instead she had to take a chance and was shooting for her Instagram story. “Can you see anything?” She fixed the way her fringe laid in case she had to flip the camera around, but a couple hairs got mixed up in her eyelash extensions and had to be guided out.

“He’s just fucking… talking, I guess.” All the time, he was scrutinizing the surround and peeking into the vehicle’s blind spots (their window tint helped them avoid paparazzi and unfriendly agitators well, but one could never be too careful in a luxury car sitting in the middle of the interstate in Florida). He snatched some sunglasses from the console and pulled his hair onto the right side before punching the horn and watching the guy jump forward so suddenly that he tripped. The man caught himself from that, but his momentum sent him stumbling into someone else's rearview mirror, until he finally hit the asphalt.

Minnie laughed so hard it hurt. By the time she was slowing down, her sisters were starting up again just because she was still struggling to say anything other than “He went- Oop!” and howling. The guy’s popped-out eyes and wobbly feet were absolutely stuck in her mind like a commercial.

Giggling, her mother turned around. “Are you ok, Minnie?”

Kenzie was re-playing the video she took of the whole thing, which included Lyssa forgetting and dropping her phone when she heard the horn. It was all caught in the same shot for Kenzie, and she couldn’t have been happier to catch her sister like that. Lyssa was griping and feeling around for her phone in the floorboard.

“Yeah, mom!” She grinned from the third row and spat a curl out of her mouth. The whole car of green-eyed shower drain murderers (anything you eat is subject to having at least one long hair in it, curly or straight) settled into satisfaction with the jest and the renewed sense of ease it left behind… they didn’t have anywhere urgent to be, and they were a normal family, as normal as any family was, in the middle of the heat of the world.

But Minnie sat back. Her solitary reflection in the globby puddles of nickel, clinging to the earth like scabs, took the thought with it. Had it ever happened? Like a play, like a streak of light, like seeing without remembering, the memory passed like a train, so visually overwhelming and then definitively ended, disappearing into the distance and shrinking all the while.

Fic projects 2023 (and beyond?)

Making a list just for kicks! (So I can beat myself up at the end of the year? PERHAP.)

Cheongdam-dong couple ‘verses :

1) Strawberry ‘verse: Han Sung-hyun is a rockstar and South Korea’s first openly gay musician/celebrity. Park Do-won is...just some ex military guy who runs a laundrette while trying to keep his family of seven (5 daughters and 2 grandmas) afloat. After almost accidentally saving Han Sung-hyun from death-by-bullet, Park Do-won gets bullied into hired as Sung-hyun’s bodyguard. Why yes, they do fall in love, but first Sung-hyun must PROBLEMATICALLY flirt with his new LORGE employee and get social media cancelled for it, have a couple of near-death experiences, become Fraulein Maria to Do-won’s five girls, and generally be rescued from his life of fun and depravity to become a BORING DAD (spoilers: he loves it), and also maybe rescue a whale. I have lots of ambitions for this project; for one, I want to imagine what having someone like Han Sung-hyun out there between 2000 to date might have meant. I know there are a few prominent gay celebrities in SK, and I plan to read up whatever I can get my hands on about queer culture in SK as well as the music industry in the last twenty years. The latter is probably easier to access. So far all the google search on LGBT issues in SK has given me is..fairly depressing pieces that are centered around the very real homophobia and discrimination. If anyone has any recs- either in fiction or non fiction about being queer in SK, and about the music industry as such, throw it my way! Thank you. :D

2) Wooster -Sageuk verse: Yes, you read that right. Ok, this is the one in which (JWS/Bertie) is the fourth son of the current king, and a completely useless royal. His brothers, both elder and younger are in a death match for the throne; our guy is chilling out on his small estate up north doing the bare minimum to keep the barbarians at the gates. Into his life comes one Very Brilliant Person (Kim Tae-ri/Jeeves). Now, Tae-ri isn’t a noble born AND she had the misfortune to be afab in those Neo-Confucian times but is she going to let that stop her? NO. So she wiggles her way into (useless) spare heir’s household dressed as a man, and quickly becomes indispensable to him. Meanwhile, LJJ is a soldier in JWS’ army and also a conman with a business on the side; he’s basically sticking with JWS because he figures this guy is not basically interesting enough for his life to be in any kind of real danger, so he gets his soldier’s pay as well as quietly makes money selling contraband. What he *doesn’t * know, and couldn’t possibly begin to guess is that JWS has been PINING for his low born soldier for A WHILE. So, the main plot would be around how Tae-ri, having realized that all the other princes are genocidal freaks, starts an elaborate game of thrones to put the Useless (but not genocidal) Spare on the throne of Joseon, while also solving his Love Problem (which is the only problem that Useless Spare is actually interested in solving.) I want to write this because I love Wodehousian shenangians and queering history, but I’ve also watched like- three sageuks in my entire life- so I feel like I don’t know enough about the genre or you know, actual history, to pull it off with any degree of competence. Still, it *is * one of my favourite ideas, so I’m going to keep it on the list.

The above two are probably the more “high difficulty” writing ideas, and realistically, I’ll have time for one. At the moment, it’s going to be Strawberry ‘verse, but well, you never know.

Other Fics:

3) Lucky Star: This is the next instalment in Terms ‘verse, and is the story of how Do-chul and Hong-gi adopt their son, Min-woo. This fic was meant to be a bridge fic to the final instalment of the ‘verse, but quickly expanded itself in my head. I’ve been trying to crack it for some months now, and it’s not going anywhere, because I can’t seem to figure out what I want this fic to be about. I hope I can do that *sometime * this year because I love these characters so much, and I want to just keep writing in this ‘verse.

4) Sequel to Juche/ Part 2 of The Exiles: This one feels like something I’ve made unnecessarily difficult for myself by throwing the characters into mid 1980s Patagonia, for god’s sake, at the end of Juche. I mean, I did it for Reasons (good Reasons), but I also know very little about that era, so this is basically the classic “bit off more than you could chew” problem, which, come to think of it, maybe the problem with all my fics. Still, I have a much more solid idea of where I want this fic to go than Lucky Star and I think I can fudge some stuff and hopefully get away with it, so!

5) Christmas Fic : This is the one F/F fic I want to write about [Kim Hye-soo] and [Tang Wei], long time frenemies, who both got out of the small town where they grew up and made good. Christmas sees them back together in their hometown for the first time in many years: Hye-soo’s boyfriend has just dumped her, and Tang Wei’s fiance is looking for an excuse to break up with *her * although she doesn’t know it yet. Cue small town Christmas event shenanigans between the two women as they try to one up each other; with the stakes getting progressively crazier until everyone around them can’t wait for them to just leave; they WILL, and they’ll also kiss (and other things), and go back to their fabulous big city lives where they get even richer and make men cry. (The good thing about this one is that I don’t have to start writing this until October at least.)

I suppose there are chances that some show or movie might come along that grabs me by the hair and derails my nebulous plans for the above, but it’s unlikely. Kdrama- at least the ones I enjoy watching- doesn’t seem to trigger the fic writing part of my brain, and I don’t feel enthused by most of what I see the mainstream fandom producing either. I’ve had the most fun last year creating these imaginary worlds that are largely untethered to any particular show/ canon, while retaining the fannish aspects in terms of world building and style of story telling.

Fellow writers! Tell me in notes/ replies what you’re hoping to write this year, if you had unlimited time and energy. What’s ticking inside your lovely brains? TELL ME ALL!

Do you know those early 2000s to mid 2010s shows with 26 episodes per season and full of filler eps where one of the characters like, learns to play soccer or whatever, just for that to never be brought up again for the whole of the show?

If stranger things was one of those shows, what filler episodes would you write?

(originally sent this to foodiewithdahoodie but it was so great I'd love to see more answers now)

hiiii omg i love this question. here are my thoughts:

i have to say a beach episode. for sure. always gotta have one. bonus points if, like, canonically we are in the middle of the winter during the show and the characters somehow end up??? at a beach??? but we can let it slide because we get to see mike having Gay Panic over will being shirtless LMAO

literally el learning to do anything. maybe she goes on an adventure in the woods and learns about the animals and bugs and plants. maybe she learns how to cook (even if the final product is objectively horrible). or maybe she learns how to like. sing or something. idk just something like that

okay because i'm a singer myself i NEED a musical episode. sorry not sorry. there is literally NO need for it at ALL but maybe all of the characters are participating in the school musical or maybe they're all putting on some choral performance and anyways we get a random musical episode with choreography and everything. would it be very weird and out of place? yes. would i eat that shit up? absolutely yes. and then it's never mentioned again. obviously.

for more Gay we could have an episode where mike and will are planning to go to a party or something with all of their friends but then all of them are busy, so it ends up being just the two of them (forced proximity my beloved) and they talk and almost kiss maybe. but then they get interrupted. but they also have a lot of fun at whatever event they go to (maybe it's a dance)

LUMAX FIRST DATE. PLEASE. it takes place a few weeks after the snowball and lucas takes her to the arcade. they have a lot of fun and we get them holding hands and being silly and max being HAPPY god please

adding onto this, we could also get an episode centering around one of the times max dumped lucas and how he won her back. it's very cute and sweet.

this is the last one i promise -- an episode centering around the wheeler family and how Dysfunctional they really are. maybe we could get some wheeler siblings bonding moments (mike and holly actually !! interacting !!) but it's also an exploration into how ted and karen's failing marriage affects the kids. it deepens the audience's understanding of mike' s character but then is never mentioned again LMAO

#yeah i went a little overboard and what about it #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #el hopper #lucas sinclair #max mayfield #lumax #byler #��#st.txt

my favorite things/moments from red white and royal blue

so basically like the whole book but bear with me

“they’re saying you got your asshole bleached” “that one is true” “i thought so”

the fact that june and nora are so clearly fucking but we have the most unreliable, oblivious, self-centered narrator ever (affectionate) so its never actually put into the books

“a strawberry-blond, whip-smart democrat with high heels, an unapologetic drawl, and a little biracial family”

june’s plane reading material like what is she on

nora calling alex out for crushing on henry right off the bat. literally on page 10. sis knows whats up lmao

“maybe it is technically a rivalry. whatever.” enemies to lovers is winning

the ENTIRE viscount convo at the wedding please😭😭

“its cute how you think everything is about you” “it should be honestly” “thats the spirit”

the double meaning when alex is thinking about how his fingernails were too stubby to pick out the staples in the pic of henry because his hands weren’t “like a girl’s”

“he’s too perfect. alex wants to poke it.”

“sorry i’m not obsessed with you like everyone else. that must be confusing for you” “you know what? i think you are” iconic

ellen reading the word “cake-tastrophy” with audible distain

alex seeing the paper that says “agreement of terms” and being like “um”

“so you can hate the heir to the throne all you want, write mean poems about him in your diary, but the minute you see a camera, you act like the sun shines out of his dick, and you make it convincing” (ive had this memorized since the first time i read it lmaoo its ingrained in my brain forever)

“have you met henry? how am i supposed to do that? he has the personality of a cabbage”

what the fuck is competitive yachting

“does he get one of these for me?” “yep. and for the record, making it was one of the most depressing moments of my career”

“okay. ill do it. but i wont have any fun” “ god i hope not”

alex thinking his type of love story is more shakespearean and then june saying his and henrys situation is shakespearean

“who does that? who names a dog david? he sounds like a tax attorney. like a dog tax attorney. drink.”

the image of baby alex trying to force an orca wrangler into early retirement because of “inhumane whale practices”

alex’s internal dialogue about shaan (and luna for that matter. god hes so bisexual)

i know henry planned that riding practice so he could come around the corner all bathed in the sunset on a white horse in perfect riding clothes

“haven’t decided yet, but astonishingly, it will not be based on you. remember how we sometimes talk about things that are not about you?” “yeah, weirdly”

“’sorry. er. i was just. cornettos.’ he gestures vaguely toward the refrigerator, as if hes just said something of any meaning”

every time alex refers to henry with any sort of royal title

alex almost missing the question when on a literal talk show bc hes too busy admiring how hot henry is in his sweater and button down (relatable)

alex always describing henry and his eyes with words like fresh and soft and blue

alex being into politics because he genuinely cares about people 🥺 it really is the better timeline

“you know, we have got to stop ending up like this”

“you’re not the prince of me?” “bloody hell”

alex bucking his hips up into henrys 😭 i just know henry almost blacked out lmao

“i cannot believe even mortal peril will not prevent you from being the way you are” yeah

the way they know each other so well without even knowing each other (henrys above comment^, alex calling him out for not being who he is, the entire closet convo and them both just instinctively getting things once they actually stop and breathe for a second)

“wow, youre wrong” the most alex thing ever

i need to be inside cash’s brain to see what he sees when he opens the closet door and they’re just laying side by side on the floor, blinded by the sudden light

“no booty calls” *literally uses it for booty calls*

bitch mcconnell

the way alex describes every attractive man he encounters in vivid detail, practically drooling over all these men, and thinks hes straight

luna immediately trying to get alex to admit hes gay for henry lmao

“you wound me” “you exhaust me” “i enchant you” “ill call security”

all the random emotions alex finds to explain the hot flashes from hot guys doing hot things

“alex you need other friends. friends who arent in congress” “i have friends! i have june and nora” “yes, your sister and a girl who is also a supercomputer”

“but we were ever so careful, dear”

alex being comfortable around henry not caring what henry thinks and being “as weird and manic as he wants”

“i dont know who you think you’re kidding, you hufflepuff-ass bitch”

shaan has a “motorbike”

“like a dickensian street urchin” pls

henry describing like everything about sailing and alex saying “cool” eight hours later 😭😭

everything about pez

alex canonically watches videos of justin trudeau speaking french and thinks hes straight

“he would really appreciate it if henry would stop proving him wrong”

“you are the thistle in the tender and sensitive arse crack of my life” “thanks!”

“tell shaan i say hi and i miss that sweet sweet ass xoxoxo” “i will not”

the entire part of the Great Turkey Calamity. im not even gonna be specific with this one. the whole part. from the part with alex and ellen talking all the way to the texts aboout henrys dad being a babe. everything in between those. its too good to even make a list. how does she come up with this shit. its so good.

“henry’s got his candy cane jim jams on”

“he just doesnt often get told hes good enough” THE SIGNIFICANCE

junes reaction to finding out alex was talking to henry about family shit and then comparing it to a love story

alex freaking out about henry being on the guest list and nora going “this is interesting” i love her

alex with his lowercase letters and henry with his perfect grammar

them going from texting every couple of days to answering each other within seconds

alex saying henrys voice is “like very expensive velvet, something moneyed and lush and fluid all at once”

alex throwing his head back and laughing and henry grinning at him is just so them

the hips convo and “watch me” *gulps down champagne* “i am”

the whole get low scene oh my god the imagery is so good

“you absolutely must know i did not” and alex and nora being horrified henry hasnt experienced this specific experience

forever obsessed with nora and alex being ridiculously smart little nerds but both still being absolutely chaotic young adults who grind up on each other and kiss for fun and start rumors that theyre fucking. the character depth is delicious

“are they too drunk to communicate in english?”

“one, henrys lips are soft”

their first kiss is the equivalent of literal butterflies and cartoon hearts fluttering around and their second kiss is like the height of passion. we love it

“but he thinks about henry, and, oh” asjhkdfbdkbfkjsdfb

alex and nora are the exact people who would have a marriage of convenience planned out

the entire nora/alex bisexual talk lmaooo

“still waters, deep dicking”

“you’ve been, like, draco malfoy obsessed with henry for years-do not interrupt me-”

nora knowing henry is gay but in that way that gays just know and alex being like what???? because somehow this never clicked for him

nora and alex both being bi but reacting to it in exact opposite ways

“the class is ethical issues in international relations. he really has got to stop taking classes so painfully relevant to his life”

alex seeing henry on a date in the magazine and spending a very short time being angry before his common sense and trust for henry and noras words all work together and then his realization and then him immediately being sad for them instead. and then him being like lmao im not straight

imagine youre liam and youre on a date with your bf and the guy you did gay stuff with in high school who is now the fsotus calls you out of the blue and asks about said gay stuff because hes having a sexuality crisis and then he apologizes 😭😭😭 liam is so funny too

“its alex. yeah, him”

alex seeing henry in his suit and his immediate thought is how much he wants to rip it off

“oh,” henry says, like an idiot.

“looking like the goddamn james bond offspring that he is”

“shut up, shut all the way up, oh my god”

i mean, the red room. dinner, hamilton, hot and heavy, god save the queen, yk

all of the inner dialogue from this entire scene lmao so aggressive

“he wants to follow the sound down his throat”

“hes unsure of the dress code for inviting your sworn-enemy-turned-fake-best-friend to your room to have sex with you, especially when that room is in the white house, and especially when that person is a guy, and especially when that guy is a prince of england” this sentence should just be the entire blurb honestly. hidden gem.

“hes done research. he has diagrams. he can do this.”

“his stomach does some embarrassing acrobatics he plans to never tell anyone about ever”

“henry is tall and gorgeous, half royalty, half movie star, red wine lingering on his lips”

im sorry but if someone took my elbow and kissed me while smiling and simultaneously shut and locked my bedroom door i would simply pass out

“he can practically feel the wind in his hair. its ridiculous.”

“so, like, fuck the moors”

alex “we’re still whatever we were before just, you know, with blowjobs” claremont-diaz being all “you went out with a girl” right off the bat lmao

“alex’s frenetic energy and henrys aching sureness”

the descriptions

alex being obsessed with the little curve of henrys waist and his hand being there and that being his proper “god i love men” moment

“devastating”

when alex says wait and henry immediately stops and alex like reassures him oh my god

“hi” “hello” “im gonna take your pants off now” “yes, good, carry on”

im laughing so hard at henry being in love with him for so long and he finally kisses him and alex hurtles through a sexuality crisis and then is like “alright lets go fuck”

“fucking eyelashes”

“alex is living for it, watching henry come undone, letting him be whatever he needs to be while alone with alex behind a locked door”

the part about the fruit basket like 1) lmao fruit and 2) i love that hes not weird about henry having experience like yes

imagining henry copying alex saying “freaking out” aghh

“for fuck’s sake man, you just had my dick in your mouth, you can kiss me good night”

alex is so in love lmao

henry laughing <3

“it should not provoke anything visceral, carnal, or bodice-ripping in nature in him at all”

“you look...sweaty” “im gonna go uh. say hi to henry”

“enjoy your summit with the english delegation”

“fifteen days removed from henry swearing at the ceiling of alex’s bedroom and unsure of how to proceed”

“what in the rich-white-people-sex-dungeon-hell?”

“he whips a thick leather strap off a hook on the wall and alex almost blacks out”

alex’s verbal reaction to the polo attire and henry trying to keep up

“henry is swearing up a storm, which is still disarmingly sexy”

“that shithole? not if i can help it” “oi! thats disrespect of the crown, that is. insubordination. ive thrown men in the dungeons for less” “hey, dont threaten me with a good time” ok london boy

the way henrys name in all the emails is different words that fit hrh

actually all the different names they use in all the emails overall

“and its all so fucking french”

“alex has to admit: henry really has a solid handle on his personal brand”

“but perfect stoic prince charming laughs when he comes, and texts alex at weird hours of the night: youre a mad, spiteful, unmitigated demon, and im gonna kiss you until you forget how to talk. and alex is kind of obsessed with it.”

“and alex is drunk and fucking transported, feeling every moment of twenty-two years and not a single day older, some kind of hedonistic youth of history. birthday head from another country’s prince will do that”

“and alex’s heart goes so fucking weird that he has to put his head in his hands for a full minute. (but, like, its fine. its not a whole thing)”

“for the record, i agree with you, but also, tell me more”

never seen a book bring up such a natural build up to a love of gay history and how important it is

“hes starting to understand what swelled in his chest when he reads about stonewall, why he ached over..” YES. THATS IT. THATS THE FEELING!!!!!!!

“i will chop my own tit off”

“i will staple your dick to the inside of your leg if it keeps it in your pants”

alex knowing when henry is in his moods and wanting to help

“baby”

the phone call where henry spills about his family and then alex spills about his past and then about both of their previous dating experience and mental health and gahhh

“two parentheses enclosing 3700 miles”

“i miss you” “i miss you too”

the way it ropes in how alex missing dinner with june brought up past shit for her

june finally snapping and them talking about henry

“you have so much in you, its almost impossible to match it. but hes your match, dumbass” ahhHHHHHHHHHH

“hes like some kind of billionaire, genius, manic-pixie-dream philanthropist.” yep thats pez

the facetime when pez and henry are in the car and alex feeling better because henry looks well rested and the goofy banter

llwynywermod does NOT sound like it should. idk what it should sound like but not like it does.

i know henry saw his love mirrored right back at him in alex’s eyes and knew he had to make a joke

“theres something so incredibly intimate about sitting on the bed they wrecked the night before, the only one who watches him create Prince Henry of Wales for the day.”

“hes got a suspicion all these feelings are why he held off on fucking henry for so long”

“so this is the gang now, huh?”

“how is a man to get anything done knowing alex claremont-diaz is out there on the loose? i am driven to distraction.”

“o fathers of my bloodline. o ye kings of olde. take this crown from me, bury me in my ancestral soil. if only you had known the mighty work of thine loins would be undone by a gay heir who likes it when american boys with chin dimples are mean to him” please

i love alex going back to henrys emails when he is upset

“utah ugly, christian ugly, ugliness couched in dog whistles and toothy white smiles”

“not every white supremacist is a meth head in bumfuck mississippi- there are plenty of them at duke or upenn on daddys money” BLESS

“as if alex, first son of the united states, is unfamiliar with how campaigns work”

the text thread with henry alex june and nora lmao so chaotic

“1. tf is this? arent there poor people in your country? 2. ive already been in the royal box” “you are a delinquent and a plague. please come?”

“don’t worry, i dont think they can detect the thick air of horn-town betwixt you two from the lawn”

“all mischievous smiles and swooping cheekbones”

henry touching two fingers to the back of alex’s elbow mm

philip and henry are the equivalent of a strict parent and rebellious child. “oh you hate alex being in the box? we’re gonna go fuck in a supply closet then. fuck you”

the way henry got right up in his space but didnt kiss him im-

“just so we’re clear, im about to have sex with you in this storage closet to spite your family. like, thats whats happening?” “right” “awesome, fuckin love doing things out of spite”

“and it should be- it should be funny. it should be hot, stupid, ridiculous, obscene, another wild sexual adventure to add to the list. and it is but...it shouldn’t also feel like last time, like alex might die if it ever stops”

“you’re brave. i could use some of that”

woman at her toilet

obsessed with alex and henry both having so much knowledge to share with each other

“and alex’s heart doesn’t spread itself out in his chest, and he doesn’t have to grip the edge of the settee to steady himself. because thats what he would do if he were here in this palace to fall in love with henry”

“i see you more than i see clean underwear”

“if shes not giving it to you, im not giving it to you. shes much nicer than me”

“there’s this way henry has of listening to the erratic stream of consciousness that pours out of alex’s mouth and answering with the clearest, crystallized truth that alex has been trying to arrive at all along”

“oh fuck me” “blurgh” “fucking shit. goddammit ass fucker” “what” “jesus tits”

the mental image of this entire scene but especially “henry flies out of bed too. he truly is a picture, wearing an expression of bewildered panic and absolutely nothing else”

“get in there” “quite” “yes we can unpack the ironic symbolism later”

“zahra is standing there with her thermos and a look on her face that says she did not get a masters degree to babysit a fully grown adult”

“it is, alex thinks half hysterically, a very solid visual pun”

“do i even wants you to explain what the fuck is happening here? literally how is he even here, like, physically or geographically, and why- no nope.”

“oh my god i thought you were getting into international relations or something” “i mean technically-” “if you finish that sentence, im gonna spend tonight in jail”

“youre literally putting your dick in the leader of a foreign state, who is a man, at the biggest political event before the election, in a hotel full of reporters, in a city full of cameras, in a race close enough to fucking hinge on some bullshit like this, like a manifestation of my fucking stress dreams, and youre asking me not to tell the president about it?” “um. yeah?”

“would it make any difference if i told you not to see him again” “no”

“ask me if im afraid of the crown”

“exploring your sexuality: healthy, but does it have to be with the prince of england?”

“history huh? bet we could make some”

“the phrase ‘see attached bibliography’ is the single sexiest thing you have ever written to me”

“should i tell you that when we’re apart, your body comes back to me in dreams? that when i sleep, i see you, the dip of your waist, the freckle above your hip, and when i wake up in the morning, it feels like ive just been with you, the phantom touch of your hand on the back of my neck fresh and not imagined? that i can feel your skin against mine, and it makes every bone in my body ache? that, for a few moments, i can hold my breath and be back there with you, in a dream, in a thousand rooms, nowhere at all?

“ill let you look at one boob. the good one” “theyre both good”

“theres a combination of girl sounds from the back seat”

“hi love’ he hears henry say quietly, privately, right into the hair above his ear, and alex’s breath forgets how to do anything but laugh helplessly”

imagining henry grinning in the passenger seat and bopping his head to the music aghhgndksk

“lbj was obsessed with his own dick. he called it jumbo and would whip it out all the time. like in front of colleagues, reporters, anybody” “american politics. truly fascinating” “you wanna talk, henry the VIII?”

“a little appreciation for the patron saint of gender-neutral bathrooms in california? little shit”

“and alex is. well, alex is so in love he could die”

“-maybe even with the apron still on-”

“i didnt realize this was a jazz brunch”

the skinny dipping is so cute before it goes wrong

“hes spent too much of his life talking, talking, talking to not know the signs when someone doesnt want to hear him anymore”

“henry you motherfucker! henry, you piece of shit, get your ass down here”

“alex’s heart is going to fall out of his ass. henry looks unimpressed”

“really nice. fucking ghost me for a week, make me stand in the rain like a brown john cusack, and now you wont even talk to me. im really just having a great fucking time here. i can see why all yall had to marry your fucking cousins”

“seriously’ he says, helpless and indignant”

obtuse fucking asshole

“i fucking love you, okay?”

“i never imagined you would love me back”

MY OWN BOY MEETS WORLD REBOOT - WHO'S WHO (I)

Lately I wrote and posted two entries about ideas I had for a hypothetical Boy Meets World reboot (that you can read if you want to here and here). Because of numerous deviations in regards to the original material that I plan to make, I decided that it would be a nice next step to make a few posts explaining each character, which ones would be the new ones and what would they contribute to the story, and which ones would be the already existing and what alterations I could’ve made to them. Hope all of you enjoy it, and I’d probably (definitely) write posts explaining each one of the most relevant characters in more detail, using these posts as master lists.

THE MATTHEWS-MUNROE FAMILY

One of the major changes I wanted to make to the show is to change the family dynamic a little. So, instead of Alan being Cory and Eric’s father, he’s now their stepfather, with the boys’ biological father being a different character who died before the show’s events take place. At the same time, Alan would also be a widower with two children of his own from his previous marriage, a boy around the same age as Cory and a girl. Part of the conflict in the first seasons, both dramatic and comical, would come from Cory trying to adapt to this new environment. We’d also see more of both Amy and Alan’s respective families.

Cory Matthews. Amy’s youngest son from her previous marriage. At the start of the show, after finding out her mother is seeing someone, he doesn’t have trouble getting along with Alan, but Kurt and him are instantly appalled by the idea of having to not only live together, but also share a room. A turning point for him would be when he joins the audiovisuals club and then the theater club, where he’s forced to spend more time with those classmates he used to make fun of thinking they were nerds and weirdos, eventually befriending them. He’d also become more appreciative and considerate towards the good teachers he has, including Feeny ofc.

Eric Matthews. Cory’s older brother and Amy’s first born son. At the start of the show he would seem like a vain, self-centered teenager more concerned about chasing skirts and being popular among his peers than caring about his brother or his grades. When the Munroes move in, in contrast with Cory, he doesn’t have any trouble whatsoever getting along with Kurt, but he’d have it with Alan. Most of Eric’s character arc would be like in the original BMW (graduating high school, failing his SATs at his first attempt, getting into college at its second, moving into Jack’s apartment), only without dumbing him down as each season passes, although he would still act a little bit eccentric, and making him bisexual and ending up with Jack.

Kurt Munroe. Alan’s first born son from his first marriage. He’s also Cory’s classmate, but the two of them are not friends, with Cory usually making fun of him for being into things that he considers girly. Because of this, he’s less than pleased about the idea of becoming Cory’s stepbrother and living with him, even teaming up with Cory to make their parents break up, although they’re soon discovered and grounded. But eventually the two boys warm up to each other until they become pretty close. Ironically enough, he never had trouble getting along with Eric from the beginning, which makes Cory jealous. He’s also one of the only five members the theater club originally has, and the only one of the two boys, besides Arthur Kacavas. As he grows up he realizes he’s into boys instead of girls, with Eric being one of the first people he tells him about.

Alan Munroe. Kurt and Megan’s father, he’s a long time employee at a store where Amy usually buys groceries. At the start of the show they start dating and then get married, with Alan becoming Eric and Cory’s stepfather. By the mid-seasons Alan quits his job to open his own business.

Amy Matthews (née O’Brien). Cory and Eric’s mother. She works as a paralegal in a law firm. At the start of the show she starts dating Alan Munroe, whom she spends up marrying, becoming Kurt and Megan’s stepmother.

Megan Munroe. Alan’s youngest daughter.

Finn Matthews. Amy’s first husband and Eric and Cory’s biological father, he died when Cory was only four years old, so he barely remembers anything about him, and whenever the subject is brought up, Amy and Eric, as well as Feeny of all people, react with extreme discomfort. Amy and him met in college, and he worked as a teacher in several high schools, with John Adams High being one of them. He was also the captain of the basketball team when he was in high school, one of the main reasons why Cory wants to join in.

Elizabeth Munroe (née Hummel). Alan’s first wife and Kurt and Megan’s biological mother. Alan and her met when they were in high school. Like Finn, she died before the show’s events.

Cory O’Brien. Cory’s maternal grandfather, despite the fact that he was named after him he’s not particularly close to him for a variety of reasons: First, he lives in a different estate, Ohio to be more specific, and second, and the most important one, emotionally speaking his mother and him are not exactly close to each other, either.

Richard O’Brien. Amy’s younger brother, who unlike her, managed to become a lawyer and now lives in New York. The relationship between the siblings is kinda vitriolic, especially because Amy always felt that their father unfairly favored her brother. And also because Richard likes to act like a smug around her.

Maurice Matthews and Claire Matthews (née Calvert). Eric and Cory’s paternal grandparents. They’re from New Jersey. Unlike with his maternal grandfather, Cory is pretty close to them. Amy also has a close relationship to them, despite the fact that they’re just her parents-in-law.

Mildred Munroe. Alan’s younger sister, because none of their parents were barely present when they grew up she was basically raised by her brother. She still acts like a wild party animal, and Cory initially sees her as his cool aunt, although as he grows up he starts to see that it’s more complicated than that. Despite her general immaturity, she’s able to give good advice to her nephews from time to time, especially to Eric and Kurt, probably because being a lesbian herself she has a better grasp of what they’re going through.

Bernice Munroe. Alan’s mother. Similarly to Mildred’s case, Cory initially sees her as a cool granny, but the more he learns about her and how she raised Alan and Mildred, which it’s not very different to how Chet raised Shawn, the more he realizes that the situation isn’t what it seemed at first. After her first appearance, the rest of her sporadic appearances have the running gag of her bringing a new boyfriend every single time, saying he’d definitely be the one this time, with Alan being quite skeptical (and eventually proven right) about it.

Eddie Munroe. Alan’s father. Besides his name and the fact that he was even less around his kids than his wife when they grew up, little information about him is revealed, with Alan himself saying at one point that he doesn’t even know if he’s still alive.

Hugh Hummel. Kurt’s maternal grandfather. He never liked Alan, and even after his daughter’s death he remains hostile towards him. Despite this, he looks after his grandchildren. Granted, this is only in regards to his daughter’s biological kids, with him not even bothering to learn Eric and Cory’s names being a running gag.

STUDENTS FROM JOHN ADAMS HIGH (I). CORY'S CLASSMATES AND FRIENDS

Characters that are introduced as Cory’s classmates, and who eventually become part of Cory’s friend group and the main cast. Most of them would also be expies/pastiches/inspired by characters from other shows about teens at school that were released after BMW ended its original run, mostly Glee, Victorious and Euphoria.

Shawn Hunter. Cory’s best (and at the start of the show, actually only) friend since they met back in elementary school. Like in the original, Shawn comes from a less economically stable background, having been raised in a trailer park, and a more dysfunctional family, with a father who constantly leaves and returns. The three biggest departures from the original would be that he’d actually be one year older than Cory and Topanga, with him being held back a year when he was in elementary school; he would’ve to join the theater club because one teacher says he found a lighter and firecrackers on his locker (they aren’t Shawn’s, the teacher planted there), in exchange to not tell Feeny about it, which means that Shawn could be expelled from the school, with Shawn initially hating it but then enjoying it and befriending the other few students at the club; and that by the mid-seasons he’d be adopted by Mr. Turner and his love interest in this version, Audrey (who btw, is @oceangirl24’s OC, and I want to thank her so much for giving me permission).

Topanga Curtis. Cory’s love interest. Instead of constantly retconning when they first met like the original show did, Cory and Topanga would have met at summer camp when they were at elementary school and they sorta dated, with Cory not thinking too much once it was over until he found out that not only Topanga moved to Philadelphia, but that she was going to attend the same school as him. Another major changes would be that, instead of moving from Philadelphia in one episode to return the next one right after, it would take her more than a season to come back; being raised by a single mother instead of a married couple; and instead of deciding not to go to Yale to go to the same college as Cory, she would end up going to Yale.

Arthur Kacavas. Cory’s classmate who starts as the closest to a Minkus’ counterpart alongside Emilia, being the straight A student that Cory and Shawn see as the teacher’s pet. But the more the two boys get to know him, the more they realize he’s not so different from them, with even Shawn finding out that Arthur’s family’s economical situation is only slightly better than his. He’s one of the theater club’s original five members, and the only boy among them besides Kurt. He also ends up in a wheelchair after getting involved in a car accident. In later seasons he becomes Leo’s stepbrother, and realizes he has feelings for Kurt.

Emily Barrett/Emilia Sánchez Sullivan. Like Arthur, Emily is initially seen by Cory and Shawn as nothing more than a teacher’s pet. She’s one of the only five students that originally joined John Adams High’s theater club. She’s been raised by her adoptive father, a lawyer who, as she grows up, realizes just adopted her so he can live vicariously through her his frustrated dreams of youth of becoming a Broadway star. In later seasons she discovers a passion for writing, and decides that she wants to become a stage director, playwright and lyricist instead of an actress. Emilia also has a tendency to, as she describes it, imagine people singing songs as if they’re in a musical, also the show would play it more as being ambiguous about if it’s just Emilia’s imagination, or something else.

Leo Dashwood. Emilia’s only friend at the start of the show. Tomboyish and a bit of a troublemaker, the two girls are at the beginning kind of a rival genderswapped duo to Cory and Shawn. Funnily enough, Cory’s first kiss would be with her instead of Topanga. By the mid-seasons her father dies, which deeply affects her. In later seasons she becomes romantically interested in Julie Anne.

Lily Ferguson. Initially introduced as the pretty popular girl at Cory’s class, partially thanks to her being the only girl in the new school year who got accepted as a cheerleader. By the mid-seasons, she would get kicked out of both the cheerleaders and her own home by her father because she got pregnant, with almost every one of her so-called friends turning their back on her, with Cory and her friends being among the few who do something to help her, with Lily even living at Shawn’s trailer until her mother takes her back after leaving her husband. In later seasons she becomes Kaede’s stepsister and André’s girlfriend.

Kaede Murata. A goth girl obsessed with scissors that Cory initially finds creepy. She’s also one of the theater club’s five original members. In the first season her best and only friend Tara stops hanging out with her and rejects everything they had in common to be with a boy named Paxton Park, making Kaede incredibly reluctant about making new friends, although ironically enough the first friends she makes after it are Arthur, with whom she initially teamed up to sabotage Tara and Paxton’s relationship, and Cat, who surprisingly didn’t find her off putting at all. Her friendship with Emilia, on the other hand, would be more of the vitriolic buddies kind. In later seasons her father marries Lily’s mother, therefore making the two girls stepsisters.

Mónica Jones. The youngest of a dentist’s four kids, Mónica dreams to become a pop star, but she lacks confidence and her father is not exactly supportive. She’s one of the five original members of John Adams High’s theater club, and Emilia actually thinks that her voice is better than hers. She’s also a yaoi fangirl who likes to write fanfiction and draw fan art of her favorite ships. Ironically, it is through her fanwork that she initially bonds with her love interest, Ethan. Her father disapproves of the relationship, although his reasoning is the fact that Ethan comes from a blue collar job family who has to live in the same trailer park as Shawn’s after Ethan’s father lost his job.

Cat Calvino. A classmate that Cory initially finds irrtating because of her quirky behavior. One of the three original members of the audiovisuals club, being passionate about make-up effects and costume design, and the only girl there. To everyone’s surprise, when she joins the theater club it turns out that she has an amazing singing voice, but she hates singing in public or to people she’s not close enough to. After she finds out that guys find her “hot enough to hook up with, but way too weird to have for a girlfriend”, she decides to stop dating all together until she finds a guy who would want to be her boyfriend because of the way she is. Because of her troubled homelife, in the later seasons she moves to live with her grandmother.

André Diop. The seemingly more normal of the audiovisuals club’s three original members, he’s a talented musician and singer with encyclopedic knowledge of anything related to music, but a terrible dancer. In later seasons he becomes Lily’s boyfriend after a misunderstanding which made Lily believe that the one he liked was Kaede.

Robbie Vergara. A boy that stands out because he uses a puppet he made himself to talk to others. When Cory joins the audiovisuals club, where Robbie is one of the only three members, he discovers that Robbie can talk to others without using a puppet, but only if he trusts that person enough, and even then he stutters. Despite his issues with communicating with others, he’s a nice singer and guitar player. He also has a crush with Cat, and in later seasons he becomes more open about the fact that he’s trans, partially thanks to Julie Anne's help.

Santiago ‘Santi’ López Mejía. A boy from the basketball team, he tends to act like your typical douchey jock and like he’s an irresistible ladies’ man, hitting on Topanga multiple times. He’s actually gay and in love with his childhood best friend, Brandon, although he’s afraid to admit it.

Brandon Pitrè. Santiago’s best friend since they were kids, he’s on the school’s water polo team. He seems to have a hyperfixation with everything related to water and the sea, from swimming to marine biology. Contrasting with Santiago, he has a sweet, quirky personality, and he has no problem whatsoever befriending Julie Anne or Cat. To Santiago’s relief, it turns out that his feelings for him are reciprocated.

Julie Anne Vaughan. An old childhood friend of Cory and Shawn who moved out of town before the first season’s events take place. When she returns by mid-season, now presenting as female, Cory develops a crush on her, although the feelings are not reciprocated, with Julie Anne being interested in Leo instead. She also quickly befriends Cat, thanks to their similarly quirky personalities, and Robbie, who’s trans too.

Isra Beckett. A new student that transfers to John Adams High when Cory is in eighth grade because his adoptive parents moved from Canada to Philadelphia. Because of his good looks, he quickly becomes incredibly popular among the girls at school, although to everyone’s surprise the girl he’s interested in turns out to be Kaede of all people. Shawn and him become close friends as Shawn gets to know him and finds out that, like him, Isra has also dealt with abandonment and poverty before he moved to the States, being abandoned by his father when he was just five years old and living in an orphanage for four years. (thanks to @sometimesgrows for allowing me to take inspiration for the backstory they wrote for Beck)

Ethan Evans. A boy from Missouri who transfers to John Adams High in Cory’s freshman year. He joins the basketball team and quickly becomes the star player. Despite his popularity, he turns out to be an actual, genuinely nice guy, although initially Cory and his friends suspect that his kindness could be just an act. He’s also bisexual and a fan of Mónica’s fanworks, becoming her boyfriend later on. At some point after his introduction his family has to move to live in the same trailer park as Shawn because his father lost his job and they can no longer afford to live in the rental apartment they used to.

Whelp! Time to do this again. Except it's parents for cannon characters and not one of my ocs this time. NONE of this is cannon, it's just some fun au/headcannon backstory stuff I thought of. WARNINGS: Abuse, neglect, drinking, etc. Read at your own risk. -Their names are Kibishii(strict) Sakaki and Kanzen(perfection) Chikazoku. -These two are the unfortunate parents of Deidoro Sakaki and Tomoyasu Chikazoku and both are their own brand of terrible in different ways. And it all started with a partnership. A business partnership, it was what their entire relationship was to one another and still is if you were to ask either of them of their past 'romance' with one another to this day. It was strictly business. Both their families were very well off, and while they didn't really particularly like each other, they could tolerate each other enough to write up a literal marriage contract to combine assets that would benefit the both of them and their families, however they failed to calculate any unfortunate children that could and would be brought about in this long term Partnership. After all that's what it always was from the beginning. A business partnership between two people, same with an office. Nothing more and nothing less. -Kibishii Sakaki can be summed up in one word. Strict. On both herself and those around her to always get what she wants WHEN she wants it. She has also been known to be vain, stubborn, and very, VERY scary when her temper bursts from missing deadlines in her company's office. This attitude toxic as it may be, has actually benefitted her unfortunately into getting her way throughout most of her life. Whether it be to convince her family of something she wants, climbing her way through the ranks of the company she works for, or just anything in general. She is in deed a very much a 'It's my way or the highway' type of person. This did not change when she met and 'married' her partner, or when she divorced, and whenever her children were born. During her life, Kibishii grew up having to claw her way through school, often blaming her parents for their poverty, and eventually into a company that dealt with health insurance and distributing the many health plans and products heroes and their agencies would use. Many will regrettably admit that she is good at what she does, and thus it wasn't too long when she climbed her way from office worker to manager to Top Supervisor of the company in her selfish climb to success and riches. Her quirk, Puppeteer, helps her with that getting many things done at once. Her quirk allows her to force her will onto others to do what she would want them to do and, while it IS illegal and knows she'll get arrested if caught, often uses it on her many employees to make them meet deadlines, but this often leaves her with a great headache as she has to strain herself to use it. She often drinks much wine and alcohol to deal with this problem. -Kanzen Chikazoku is however the opposite of this. In the fact that he is a very, very emotionless person. He rarely if ever shows emotion other than blunt and indifferent. In short he hates people. He doesn't like being around them. Which is where his quirk, Clonage, comes much to his advantage. Kanzen is able to mold a complete clone of anyone from anything just by using his hands and willing a chair-sized object into whatever person or persons he wants them to look like and what he wants them to do. He is very scarily efficient in his work as well having worked at the same office Kibishii works and is in charge of his own floor with his own office in charge of the insurance center's entire online security which MUST be protected securely as it holds the health information of many, many heroes. In the wrong hands it could be deadly. Which is why he made sure his networking was secure and trusted no one to do anything for him but himself to make sure nothing went wrong. The only times you'd see another person who isn't a clone on his office floor, would be someone delivering something, or the occasional visit from his boss. -Which is how the two of them met one another. Kibishii being in a higher authority position than him often made 'mandatory' visits to see him which was only her asking about something he did more perfectly than her or asking him to complete a certain task within the network within a certain amount of time. In a rare display of respect from her, Kanzen was one of the few people she respected, but only because he was able to meet whatever expectations she put on him with flawless accuracy and was competent enough to manage a whole floor by himself, and he in turn thought she was an efficient boss meeting deadlines and managing so much. In fact it was him who brought up the potential partnership to her in order for the both of them to climb the ladder more. They could both mutually benefit from having a partnership using their skills to push each other higher with mutual benefits they both obviously wanted. A 'marriage' would only be on paper and ensure that if anything happened to one of them, the other would make sure to keep all the benefits in their names easier. It took a little bit of convincing on her end but ultimately she agreed and things were smooth sailing for them both for a long while as both continued to Excel at their lives. Until Kibishii fell pregnant with twins. -Both were....Not very excited at the idea of becoming parents of unwanted children. Kibishii more than Kanzen. She did NOT want these children, and Kanzen did not care and was ever indifferent to the situation. So he did nothing to stop kibishii from doing what she wanted. After all she wasn't his 'wife' outside of a small piece of paper. She was a business partner and accomplice. Nothing more than that. He was the same to her. He wasn't going to make her take maternity leave if she didn't want to, anymore than she was going to force him into being responsible for the children once they come, but she continued to strain herself even more know, and continue to drink her stress away after a hard day's work. ....And it resulted in a worse outcome but not how one would think. -Two twin boys were the result of whatever partnership the two had and were named accordingly before being dumped into the arms of a hired babysitter the first chance they got before continuing life as usual. They weren't interested in them anymore than beyond what they could do and what they could become. Which is what exactly they were disappointed to find out the results of them. Because of the results, both are disappointed and as a result, decide to 'divorce' once the twins both turn five and the results of their quirks are revealed, each one getting a child as per their 'split assets' agreement. -Tomoyasu Chikazoku (A.K.A Skeptic) has always had a slightly bad immune system resulting in him getting sick often, this was especially so as a child when he often got sick, and has a low alcohol tolerance due to his mother's actions. He is the younger twin by a few minutes and was raised by their father. Their father remained emotionless and often put a lot of pressure on his son to reach the same perfectionist level he had achieved in his life working hard. He had to succeed. After all HE was the one with the more powerful quirk abilities. So growing up, he was always applied pressure by his father and stressed to get everything right, which resulted in Tomoyasu's fear of failure and becoming a perfectionist as well, often getting stressed out when things don't according to plan which can result anywhere from an angry outburst to a panic attack. His father wouldn't really 'punish' him or do anything when he didn't meet his expectations, but he would relay how disappointed he was to have a son who couldn't meet his standards, especially since he inherited his mother's famous temper when things didn't go his way. Tomoyasu had barely if any contact with his mother outside of her dumping Deidoro onto his lap to 'babysit' which is why the two brothers were even able to have a relationship growing up at all. -Deidoro Sakaki however was the complete opposite. He has a higher tolerance for both sicknesses and alcohol. A byproduct of their mother's actions. Instead of gaining a quirk like his parents or a mix like his brother, his quirk was warped into the Sloshed quirk he has now, which angers his mother very much to the point she barely acknowledged him growing up. But what he didn't gain in brains, he certainly gained in body compared to Tomoyasu. A much more healthier body with a better immune system which can tolerate many things alcohol included thanks to his quirk. He is also physically stronger, more flexible, and he's able to climb on walls/ceiling and can throw daggers with better accuracy (as seen in the anime-) but unfortunately these traits were not acknowledged by his mother other than the occasional ''Tch. At least you can do that much." when he did sports in school as it was something he could be good at and bring home ribbons and the occasional small trophy. He sadly became used to the lack of attention from his mother and as a result, can be clingy now as an adult. Although he was able to keep a decent relationship with his brother growing up thanks to their mother often dumping him on Tomoyasu to 'babysit' whenever she needed some 'me time'. -Currently today both are either retired or struggling from the hero war destroying their built up 'legacies'. If asked about their sons, both would deny they had one or out right ignore it as they are ashamed of the two ex-villians they have became. Which considering might just be for the best
