#you: do they like their birthdays?

[gloomforrestrunes]

how does the main cast feel about their birthday? do their feelings change through the series?

i cant really answer this in the context of canon because birthdays arent really celebrated! its moreso coming of age ceremonies, and its mostly just nobles and high ranking animals that do that kind of stuff. im sure there are some outliers here and there.

but i can answer this in the context of the human au!

laxo and kenta both grew up in a household that was unable to fully celebrate birthdays due to finances, so their answers are a bit complicated. laxo probably has more negative feelings about his birthday since he associates it with putting a burden on others to give him something, which stems from his dad always trying to get him something when he was still around, and laxo always noticing how stressed he was about doing so. kenta's feelings about it are a bit more positive. even though raven never did anything for her birthday outside of a cold acknowledgement, laxo always tried his best to give her something, which was usually one of his homemade flower charms. i like to think that little tradition of him giving her homemade things extends into their adulthood. c: laxo, on the other hand, constantly tells the people around him not to get him anything when his birthday comes around, because people giving him gifts makes him feel bad. he definitely gets better about letting people be kind to him as the story goes on.

maya is a twin, so she shares her birthday with her brother, axel. because of this, she always associated her birthday as something that she shares with him. so when they lose touch after she runs away, she cant shake that association. as such, she cant help but feel shame whenever her birthday comes around, even though she's steadfast in believing that running from home was the best thing for her. i think the only way for her to completely shake that feeling is to get closure from him.

after his mom died, kane always saw his birthday as something that wasn't for him, but for the people who were throwing the celebration, namely feli. you can imagine that she goes all out with the festivities, while making passing comments about her expectations of him as he gets older. when his mom was alive, his birthdays were a lot more personal and actually about him. but when he started living with feli, they just became hollow and superficial, turning into another reminder of her crushing expectations for him. so the excitement he feels for them turns into dread. im sure that changes once he gets away from that toxicity. c:

everyone out of the way, this is the only thing I'm going to be thinking about from now on.

(okay, there is one more thing)

[just-an-enby-lemon]

The thing about jonmartin is that Martin wants to be a romantic, he loves poetry and probably watches romance but for him it is a fantasy, a silly game he plays. Martin is at his core very cynical. Things don't work out for him so he doesn't really belive in romance, it is a pretty dream but that's it. He is pratical and realist. Dating Jon he has to remind himself it is real and he actually struggles with romantic gestures, it is something he has to remind himself to do, to remind himself he can do even and honestly who even has the energy and what if Jon doesn't even like it?

Jon on the other hand wants to be cynical. His first coping mechanism was pretend the things he was afraid of weren't real and goddam if he isn't afraid of love. It didn't really work to him so far so it's easy to pretend he doesn't care. But he is a romantic at heart. He saw love and he read about it and he has enough evidence that it is undeniable. And to be honest Jon was always to much a bunch of mushy feelings hidden in a grumpy (and bitter and afraid) trench coat. Dating Martin he has to hold himself so he isn't too much. He plays the grumpy unromantic guy at first. But he just can't stop giving flowers and planing dates (this is the guy that saw a theme park on a fear domain and considered how he wanted to take Martin to a romantic ferris whell date [until he discovered Martin was afraid of them]) and making all the silly things one does when in love.

TR: Martin is deep down very cynical about love but wants to/pretends to be a romantic and Jon is deep down very romantic but wants to/pretends to be cynical about love.

[starry-bi-sky]

my martha knight au in a nutshell:

Danny/Martha: see up here?

Danny/Martha: *taps skull*

Danny/Martha: intense psychological damage

-----------

Danny/Martha: *upon finding out she's pregnant*

Danny/Martha: oh my god i cant be a mom, I'm fifteen and homeless--

Danny/Martha: im going to be a terrible mother--

Danny/Martha: i live in a cAR--

Danny/Martha: what if the baby inherits my powers? Oh no--

-------------

Danny/Martha post giving birth: i've only had Bruce for a minute and a half but if anything were to happen to him i won't even need to fuse with Vlad, I'm razing this goddamn planet to the ground myself

Danny, to Baby Bruce: you are the last remaining thread of my sanity. I'm going to give you the world :)

---------------

Danny/Martha prior to getting pregnant: Fuck it, if everything in my life has led to this moment, i'm allowed to make one stupid decision. I'm getting drunk and getting laid

---------------

Danny/Martha while Bruce was a toddler: i swear to fucking god i am going to kill the next person who talks to me--

Bruce: hi mommy!! i brought you something!!!

Danny/Martha, immediately flipping on a dime: hi baby!! what do you have?

Bruce, a weird child like his mother: a spider :)

---------------

Danny/Martha, talking to Falcone after he made an unsavory comment at her and Bruce: If you ever come near me or my son again, I will dig up your shithead father's corpse and make you eat his skin.

Danny/Martha: do you understand me

Falcone:... crystal, ma'am

---------------

Danny/Martha new in Gotham: *getting mugged*

Danny/Martha: *grabs man's arm*

Danny/Martha: I AM GOING TO BREAK YOU IN HALF LIKE A TWIG, FUCK BOY, DO YOU HEAR THE WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH--

(she then proceeds to terrorize Gotham's night life for the next extended period of time, mostly unintentionally)

---------------

Danny/Martha: Danny Fenton?? No. you must be mistaken, my name is Martha Knight.

Danny/Martha: this here is my littlest knight, Bruce.

Danny/Martha: I made him all by myself :]
