'i feel like everything got so jumbled' is everything to me. it's my perfect victory because over and over in the aac au, that's what it's been about. that c!dream had a plan and a reason and then the anger and the cruelty and all of that made it so messed up, like a tangled web and yes, he was the one holding the strings, but he was caught up just like everyone else.

'i feel like everything got so jumbled' because it did, because that's what people are like, in the end, and that's what he's always been struggling against, isn't it?

#LITERALLY in my fic dream has said things like this or thought it MULTIPLE TIMES #so you understand that when i say i won. i mean it fucking LITERALLY #loyal talks about stuff and things #aac au #dream smp #dsmp spoilers

In Transformers: Surge, Soundwave is the chief of the Cobalt Sentries, Decepticon alliance's secret police that handles both internal matters and espionage. Respected and feared. Howlback is his deputy, and the Reflector trio is propably also there and transforms into a spy satellite.

Soundwave is cobalt blue with yellow optics and visor, and looks like something between TFP and G1 Soundwaves i guess, with the tentacles. His altmode is some sort of a surveillance plane that deploys different types of drones (ground, flying, underwater, etc) that are his cassettes' altmodes. He was a spy before the war, working for whatever citystate he's from and operatinng in a citystate that would later join the Autobot alliance, where he had a liaison with the singer Blaster.

He orders/tolerates terrible things, but unlike Shockwave who admits to himself what he's doing is evil but thinks ends justify the means, Soundwave is convinced he's doing the right thing and won't let go of that idea because he really needs to believe he isn't evil. The war and the things it forces everybody do are bad enough already. When the war ends in a truce, Soundwave doesn't like the results and how Megatron or whoever took his place just gave up, and starts conspiring with Shockwave despite the guy being a traitor because they're agreeing.

Soundwave is also autistic, because i think he, Shockwave, and G1 Starscream come off as autistic. I've also considered making TFS Soundwave an aac user because he couldn't/wouldn't speak in TFP, but i'm concerned would that possibly be bad rep? I'm autistic and have this thing that's propably selective mutism, but i'm not nonverbal or an aac user...

Surge Soundwave is intriguing as all hell, his altmode sounds cool, and his role in the decepticons has to lead to quite the interesting situations (especially post truce, if his alliance with Shockwave is any indication)

#maccadam #transformers #i cannot answer the aac question as i too am not nonverbal or an aac user #iicr in tfp we see him talk in the last few episodes of s3 and we see him talk in RID15 (the wiki refers to it as a vow of silence?) #so for him it was definitely a wouldn't talk situation in canon #but in a lot of the fics I've read where he honest to god couldn't talk were interesting as hell and i find it an interesting take #Soundwave #transformers: surge #Shockwave #megatron #blaster

Sometimes the only thing that gets me through the day is knowing I can escape into writing Scamander brother repartee. (18k words from the current posted point in Head Under One Wing…)

SW Fanfic - Spare Me Your Voice ch 6 (end)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/38163151/chapters/98430498

Summary: A conversation is had, and Luke moves towards the future.

Fic summary: Luke, hoping to find a way to avoid being doomed by his father's Darkness, journeys to Dathomir to see what the remains of the Nightsister's have to say about the Force and balance. Unfortunately, nothing goes as planned, and Vader himself shows up to pick up the pieces.

Excerpt:

Luke pulled his knees up as close to his chest as possible and pressed himself further into the small, dark corner of the first supply closet he’d found. It had been a bad time for the Imps on board to renew their interest in him; he couldn’t take their stares as he’d run through the hallways, tears blurring his vision. He couldn’t touch the Force, but he’d felt their eyes on him all the same.

His chest shook with sobs he tried to muffle. Small, pathetic whistling noises escaped him anyway.

Stupid, stupid to ever let himself believe that these kriffing curses would ever go away. Stupid to think his father would still care about him, still want him around with them. Stupid to think he was anything but doomed after he found out who his father really was.

True, this wasn’t exactly what he’d pictured when he first thought about it after the reveal on Bespin, but it was all the same in the end, wasn’t it? He was no Jedi, and he never would be. All that he was, was…

Useless.

Another sob shook him. He buried his head in his arms, propped up on his knees, and curled tighter.

I thought of this idea this morning and I just had to write something down:

What if Henry had Down syndrome?

I have so many wips I don’t need anymore, but I might have to explore this one further.

“So if you had a crush on me ‘the whole bloody time’ then why did you run away when I introduced myself at the Olympics?”

Henry stares at Alex with one eyebrow raised, not sure if Alex is messing with him or if he truly doesn’t get it.

“Because I had no reason to believe you would be any different,” Henry says, then immediately holds up a finger to ward off the question he can see on Alex’s lips before grabbing his iPad to type into the aac program.

He lets Alex read off the screen as he types, one hand twirling absently in Henry’s hair as he reads the response.

“Every time I go out in public, people either talk about me like I’m not there, or they talk to me like I’m a child, or worse, a pet.

“I suppose it’s not fair to you for me to automatically assume that you would be that way too.

“I didn’t truly think you would, but there’s always the off chance no matter who it is, and I couldn’t bear to have the fantasy of you I’d built up in my mind tainted, so I ran.”

Eating Habits-Miguel O'Hara x platonic!teen reader

sequel to my last fic???-am i fr going to make this a series👁️👁️

Miguel notices a change in your eating patterns😧

warnings-bad writing/grammar/dialogue, angst, bad eating patterns, possible ed???, ooc miguel???, implied abuse/neglect (reader has bad eating patterns bc of fam), might be triggering for some, dw they end up happy again i promise, the word mijo is used like once???

again implied nonverbal reader (nonverbal rep bc i said so🫡) making this up as i go tbh-reader may use aac or communication cards

autistic coded reader????

AGAIN, ENGLISH MAY BE MY FIRST LANGUAGE BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IM GOOD AT IT(AGAIN, JUST MAKE THIS CLEAR, I AM INDEED A NO SABO KID🥴)

povs may possibly change at times-lowercase intented as usual🤩(possibly no use of y/n in this one🤷‍♂️) IM SO TEHE AB THIS MAN (AND SPOT BUT WE DONT TALK AB THAT) sorry for all the warnings, just wanna make sure yall know what to expect

over time, you and miguel had.. unexpectedly started to bond more and more, which surprised a lot of spiders. the two of you were both equally closed off, but even then miguel had interacted with more spider people than you had. since your arrival, miguel had been the only spider person you had interacted with due to your mistrust.

most of the spiders had decided to simply not acknowledge your new friendship with miguel..simply because miguel had scared them off for you.

with you and miguel forming a new bond, he started to notice something about you..

while you enjoyed all types of cooking and baking, you never really ate much. miguel had chosen not to acknowledge it because he thought you just had a smaller appetite than most spiders, and he also thought his judgement was just clouded due to the fact that he had to eat more than most spiders did.

maybe your portions just looked small because of his size? he glazed over the thought, but it didn't make much sense, he ignored until..

your eating habits became worse, he had now come to the realization when he decided to treat you to a hamburger and you only ate a couple of fries..days later he noticed that when you had cooked something for the rest of the spiders, you hadn't plated any food for yourself. he felt a heavy pang in his heart, he knew the signs, because he would often neglet his humger needs due to his work.

when he brought up his concern that you were not giving yourself food you simply pulled out your cards, flipping to a card that said "no" and another that said "hungry". (A/N-i refuse to believe that reader would have "not" on their card bc "no" is way more conventional so pls dont come at more for this)

miguel heavily sighed, if course he didn't believe you, he could see the fear and sadness in your eyes. when he saw that look, he knew he had to do something.

a couple days had passed and you had stopped cooking and baking all together. you were simply just sitting on a couch that was placed in the HQ living quarters for everyone to use when suddenly you saw a large figure in your peripheral vision. you instantly knew that it was miguel. (A/N: MANS LITERALLY WEARS HIS SUIT EVERYWHERE OK?😭)

once he was in front of you, you decided to look up to him, furrowing your eyebrows to indicate your confusion. he wore an expression that you still were not used to identifying.

sympathy.

he pinched the brige of his nose, this was going to be harder than he thought, "we have to talk, mijo".

you pulled out your phone, getting your acc app ready incase if you need to respond to whatever he was about to announce. trying to do so calmly, as to not make him worry.

you gave him a nod, as to let him know that you were listening. he moved in order to sit next to you on the couch, his weight making a significant shift on the cushions.

"i need you to look at me alright? you don't even have to give me eye contact" he didn't want to pressure you, because he knew how much stress eye contact gave you at times.

you looked in his direction and tilted your body towards him.

he took another deep breath in and out before saying, "i noticed that you've been.. eating less, i mean, eating less than you usually eat.." he trailed off, he had to think carefully about his next words.

as soon as he said this, you looked away with a pained expression on your face.

he touched your cheek, and you flinched at the movement. "hey, none of that alright? i just want to make sure that everything is fine, mijo. has there been something on your mind recently?" he removed his hand from your cheek, wanting you to be able to fully process everything.

you let out a sigh and clicked one of the words you had preset on your app. "family" the robot voice spoke.

miguel nodded, although he hadn't seen everything that had happened he knew that overall, it wasnt the best situation. there was a pause before the robot voice began to speak again.

"food. bad" miguel's heart broke, and his strong stature had softened. he wanted to hug you, but he wasn't sure if he was overstepping your boundaries.

he carefully thought over his words before speaking, "never let anyone ever tell you that good is bad for you, alright mijo? it gives you strength, and helps you live" he looked right at you, making sure you digested every word he had said. he could see you blinking tears away, but they just continued flowing.

abruptly, you began to hug him. miguel was caught by surprise at this, as you buried your head into his chest. he awkwardly patted you on the back.

"from now on, i'll help you out" he stated. he felt you nod your head in agreement, head still buried in his chest.

from then on miguel made sure to coach you during mealtimes, giving you praise when you started to eat normal portions. (a/n hes channeling his inner sport mom vibes🥰). with miguels help, you started to feel more comfortable treating yourself to small treats, and even eating infront of people without caring what they thought about you.

at this moment you realized that, miguel might be your true family.

A/N: CURRENTLY SOBBING DID NOT MEAN TO MAKE THIS SO SAD IM SO SORRY PEOPLE.

on a realer note:if reader is just like u fr id encourage you to please seek some form of help/support system💞its important that u take care of urself-there are multiple free resources that you can find online just with a simple google search

small explanation ab readers fam: due to neglect, reader was never given a lot of food, and the food they made would be for their fam. and their fam would often shame them when they were allowed to eat (again, if reader is just like u fr, pls seek some sort of help)

also if we could please refrain from using the comment section to trauma dump/nbr (i am not a professional, nor am iequipped to handle other's problems)

Roope/Robo for the ship ask

A MOST BELOVED DOCUMENT. (sry anon for this insane reply pls feel free to stop reading after this first paragraph ahlsdfkh) basically 2124 are my favorite stars ship even though it's generally difficult to articulate what makes them so intriguing, but i also think that That in itself is why i enjoy them so much haha. imo the more subtle and unsurfaced and laborious to construct narratives for the better!

i spend possibly too much time contemplating robo's character and i know that we (or i guess i...) often talk about his Just A Guyisms, which i do believe are an effective assessment of his general demeanor but alsoooo 2124 is just so rifeeee with introspective potential that it krills me every single time i think about it. as @kitnita perfectly put it in this post getting to "work backwards from pre-existing intimacy" is what makes them so much fun, because they have arguably nothing that connects them off-ice and yet demonstrate an almost automatic complementary style on-ice. and the fact is that unlike pavs and robo who play within a similarly restrictive framework, the entire ethos of how 2124 play together is that roope's strengths lie in the negative space of robo's, and it's not so much just the inherent beauty of Your Line Is The Only One I've Ever Known (places hand on chest. this is of course a large part of it as well!) but really actionably that robo plays in such a tactical fashion that allows him to effectively activate roope's motor. and i think roope is the kind of guy who sees that and is like... This is what binds us together 4 life. and it's really like... the ultimate marriage of skillsets which is also what makes the way they eschew any journalistic effusiveness (esp roop although obviously part of that is language-barrier related) so fascinating. like top line hold themselves to an extremely high standard and i think robo is extremeelyyyy aware of the weight of his responsibility as a goal scorer, but they're also both reticent about overcommunicating the importance of their "chemistry" to the media and i feel like that makes it... even more delicious???

i don't know if any of this makes sense but tl;dr To Me the ultimate romance is when two people play beautiful hockey together :) and in my head i also like to live in a world where that's roope's biggest philosophy as well. like roope talks about his connectivity to the home crowd and how he feeds off that energy and although it's not like... necessarily evident, i love characterizing 2124 as basically: despite roope being the most complete player on the team and appearing more mysterious or withdrawn compared to robo's pr capabilities, robo is very much the one who hyperfocuses on singular, self-reflective assessments while roope is more inclined to contemplate his chemistry with robo. and i love seeing it as the Roope_Confessional being "i know that I Don't Need You to play good hockey but it's always better when you're here so why would i want to change any of that?" whereas idk whether robo is prone to the same sentimentalism. and that's what makes them fascinatingggg! like all these weird little unexpected nuanced reversals to Roope being obviously the "cooler" and fashionable one, but also frankly the sort of cringe diehard loyalist "soulbonded to the spirit of the aac" guy whose greatest joy is Buying Miro New Clothes, who cares in very bleeding-heart understated ways etc. all of that really lends dimension to their dynamic despite robo being seen as the antithesis to pretty much all his interests.

i also find their cultural context quite interesting but maybe that's for another day because this is already a ridiculous post.... but briefly something that really informs a lot of their dynamic both in practice and in fic is obviously the existence of finnmaf and roope and miro functioning as the heartbeat of it, and we have moments of robo facetiously referencing them and essentially picking up Spare Euros (aka swedes aka petey and nils) on the side and existing on the outskirts of their friendship. and robo is someone who's moved around a lot and has a pretty varied background and he's talked about how he didn't really recognize the weight of that until he became a public figure and grew into the responsibility of his professional role, and that shows a lot in how he carries himself and interacts with media. and with roope being an "unknown" quantity in some aspects with the language barrier and being from finland i loooveeee any potential fic/narrative that kind of peels back all those little cultural layers or even flips their situations (e.g. post-retirement fic set in finland, soulbonding with the ability to speak/understand finnish—but also Not Understanding and finding comfort in that is part of the appeal so there are a lot of places to take this... etc. etc.). 

i will stop here but beloved ao3 user murkya truly does a wonderful job of capturing them and probably in a more entertaining and digestible manner than anything i said here does :')

premise: desperate to escape pandora's vault amidst horrific torture, dream uses what he knows of the death and revival and his allies in the shadows to free himself, hoping to recoup and rework his plan to slow the advancement of the crimson egg.

ranboo is used to waking up places with no memory of how he got there but this time he's in a familiar place with an (un)familiar person; the training arena beneath techno's and phil's cabins with dream who insists that ranboo was the one to revive him.

now techno has to figure out what to do with the escaped prisoner and what to do with the man who definitely isn't his friend but did save his life once. besides, destroying a country together kinda bonds you. doing what's right isn't always easy or clear cut but the syndicate is dedicated to doing so and in the process challenges the notions of who is worthy of healing.

but that's not as easy as it should be.

characters: technoblade, dream, phil, ranboo, niki, punz, awesamdude, quackity, and michael underscore beloved. including minor scenes with badboyhalo, tubbo, and tommy.

setting: canon divergent starting before wilbur's revival though mostly follows main plot beats of the dsmp

theme song(s): 'soap' by the oh hellos & 'swing life away' by rise against

general feel: a very plot light fic, mostly fluff and comfort with some angst and hurt, touching on themes of ptsd and trauma. you are safe with your friends, the kitchen is where you learn to love, and everyone is deserving of kindness. redemption doesn't mean regret or forgiveness or even 'i'm sorry' being spoken aloud, but finding a reason to want to be better. sometimes that is a dog. sometimes it's wanting to make pie crust. sometimes it's an anarchist book club.

The Owl House - Hunter & Darius - Autism Acceptance Month Prompt 3 : Nonverbal

**Past child abuse, panic attack Prompt : Write a fic where a character either is nonverbal or goes nonverbal Headcanons : Autistic!Hunter, Hunter's new pet bird is named Pancake, Hunter (and Alador) use an AAC device, Autistic!Alador (mentioned)

It'd been a few weeks since Luz went away to college, so her regular visits to the Boiling Isles came to a sudden halt.

That wasn't to say she blocked them all out or anything. She would often video call with her mother, who would invite the others to join in on the call and she'd even sent a few handwritten letters, but her physical presence in their world had stopped.

Hunter wasn't taking it too well.

He understood ahead of time, of course, the concept of her no longer being with them, but it was different when it actually happened. She'd been a constant in their lives for years, and now it had been several weeks without her.

His mood had been shifting wildly with her absence- Sometimes it was panic over the idea that she'd abandoned her. That she'd abandoned him. Other times, it was depression. He ate less and less and spent more time in his room, just staring at the ceiling.

All this was weighing on him, and it eventually led to a nonverbal episode.

Truly, he felt silly for not sensing it sooner. He knew that he'd go silent if he got so overwhelmed- It'd been an issue his whole life, but he hadn't dealt with it that much since Belos was defeated. At most, he'd get a little overstimulated and go nonverbal for a few hours and then he'd be back to normal.

But, this was familiar, this quietness. He knew as soon as he woke up that he wouldn't be talking for a while, and that thought scared the living daylights out of him.

See, no one knew this was a thing that could happen. The only people that knew of these episodes was Belos, who'd grown so tired of the quirk over each generation of grimwalker that, by the time Hunter came around, he had no tolerance for it and would lock the boy in a room for days on end until he got talking again.

This thought made him feel horrible. What if Darius locked him up? What if Willow realized how weird he was and broke up with him? What if everyone abandoned him?

Darius knocked on his door and he flinched back wildly, his breath picking up. Pancake went over to the door and opened it- Hunter was in his pajamas, so it wasn't really an invasion of privacy to let the coven head inside.

"Oh, Hunter" Darius said sadly upon seeing the boy's panicked state. He slowly and cautiously sat by the boy on the bed, just holding out his hand and allowing him to grip on as tight as he needed to calm down. Eventually, the panic wore away, but Hunter still looked nervous. "What is wrong, little prince?"

Hunter opened his mouth to speak but no words came out, causing a few fresh tears to fall. Darius frowned for a moment before getting up and leaving the room, which made Hunter cry more because he was right. Darius was abandoning him.

Only, that wasn't the case, as the older witch returned a minute or two later holding a tablet. It was a device they'd gotten from the human realm for when Hunter or Alador couldn't speak. All they had to do was type into it and an automated voice would speak for them.

'Can't talk' Hunter typed slowly, keeping his gaze focused solidly on the device.

"Well, that's okay" Darius chuckled, surprised that this is what got Hunter so worked up. The kid went quiet all the time, as did Alador. They both would get overstimulated and then go "nonverbal", as the human called it, and then they'd be fine again. It was just part of their normal, and no one judged them for it, especially since plenty of other people in the Isles dealt with the same thing.

'You don't understand' Hunter typed. 'This isn't just going to fix itself in a few hours. I'm probably going to be like this for a few days at LEAST'

"Oh" Darius said, and Hunter cried a little bit more.

'I'm so sorry' Hunter typed through tears. 'I'm sorry, Darius, I'm so sorry' he repeated, his breath coming out in short gasps as he began to sob. 'I didn't mean to get so worn down, honest. I'm so sorry'

"Hey, none of that" Darius told him firmly and Hunter finally looked up at him, scared out of his mind. "Can I hug you, Hunter?"

...

'What?'

"Well, I'd like to hug you to let you know that I'm not upset with you, but I don't want to touch you if that'll stress you out any more" he explained. "So, can I hug you?"

'Please'

And so, Darius leaned over and wrapped his arms around the sobbing boy. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Hunter gave a small tap on the man's back, his tears mostly gone.

"I'm not mad at you, kid" Darius told him firmly. "It's okay if you're not back to normal for a bit, okay? And I'm sure the others will understand, too. We love you, Hunter"

'Belos would lock me up when I got like this' Hunter responded after a moment and now Darius was the one tearing up.

"Oh, kid..."

'Don't pity me, please' Hunter typed immediately. 'It's just hard to grasp that you won't do the same'

"Never, prince" Darius told him. "I promise, okay? I'll never do anything like that to you. I love you more than anything in this world, got it? I'd sooner gauge my eyes out than do something like that to you. We'll work through these next few days or even longer however you need to"

Hunter just smiled and leaned against him and Darius knew that was his way of saying Thank you and I love you

"I love you too, kid"

batling_out_of_hell is writing a TRULY AMAZING Cass and Tim fic, called Raised By Wolves!

Pre-Robin and Batgirl Tim and Cass start working together to protect Gotham. The people they protect become very loyal. Cass is nonverbal, and Tim introduces her to AAC. Everyone is written perfectly.

Still in progress, but it’s perfection y’all. Beautiful perfection.

#people write things #CASS and TIM #CASS!! #it is so wonderful #please read and then talk to me about how great it is #I need to squee and it will possibly take days for the Very Little Sister to read it

Some Team 8 + Sand Sibs chara sheets

I procrastinated writing yesterday by doing little chara sheets for my polycule AU.

Kiba and Shino have been dating since they were teens. Shino and Hinata have been dating since college. Kankurou and Kiba start dating at 22/25 (I am writing this fic). Hinata and Kankurou may or may not have some queerplatonic relationship going on eventually.

I used this picrew for the sheets!

Additional facts!

Kiba:

Inuzuka Kiba isn't his legal name, he is still officially registered under his deadname and his father's family name. He might change it once his father's dead, probably not before that since he doesn't want him to know about it. The rest of the polycule handle most of his mail so he doesn't have to deal with it unless necessary.

He is Japanese through his father and Filipino through Tsume.

Hana is his half-sister (different father).

He transitioned in his late teens and has been on T + post-top surgery for some years now.

He got a hysterectomy for endometriosis.

He doesn't smoke much anymore, mostly vapes, which allows him to control CBD/THC levels and ratio better.

Kankurou:

He doesn't identify as trans, but might identify as non-binary somewhere along the way. He's fine with being seen as a man and conveniently goes by he/him, but is honestly a bit too psychotic and dissociated to really have an opinion about his gender and gendered body.

He is Jewish through his mother, but was raised by Baki (here, Rasa's half-brother) so most of his relationship with Judaism and Jewishness is self-taught reconnection.

He had only one brief relationship before Kiba and had sort of settled for the idea of not trying to look for partners (both romantically and sexually) because it was a lot of work and socialisation and it didn't feel all that too important for him, but hey, shit happens. (Kiba happens, and it's good shit.)

He gets a colectomy and stoma bag for his ulcerative colitis around 25 (again, the KankuKiba fic is about that). He probably won't try to get a reversal surgery in the future because he hates surgeries and hospitals.

Shino:

He mostly uses Makaton and text-to-speech as AAC. The former is easier for short indications and requests in daily life, and the latter for more complex conversations.

He gets on opioid replacement therapy sometime during his teens, although still injects occasionally as an adult.

He was initially assigned male at birth, and then reassigned female during his childhood, which he (very understandably) did not live well. Shibi defended his right to choose his gender presentation and refuse further intersex surgeries after that, and he's been mostly living as a boy/man since then. He half identifies as a cis man, half not because dissociation and plurality and trauma make gender complicated but he's sort of working through it. He'd still consider his relationship with Hinata straight, and his relationship with Kiba gay.

His parents broke up when he was a kid (in part over the decisions made about him) and Shibi raised him for the most part. He sometimes sees his mother as an adult, but they're relationship is not very good.

Hinata:

It's been a bit of a struggle to slowly acclimate Hiashi to her being part of a polyamorous relationship, but he does like Shino a lot, so that helped. (He doesn't have an excellent opinion of Kiba but they also mostly never see each other and they're happy with that.)

She has a fairly ok relationship with her family now, but being able to move out and live in group with way less hierarchy and a whole lot more community support has been very healing and helping with having more resources to maintain her relationship with her family too.

Kankurou does all her phone calls (as that of about everyone in the polycule, to be honest).

And the sibs!

Gaara:

He's had a lot of autism-related struggles as a child/teen, but functions much better as an adult now that he understands his needs better and has accommodated his daily life to them. He works as a landscaper but has a lot of at-home work hours.

Lee is his first relationship (I also have a fic about that) and he does think he's gay? But also never has thought about neither his orientation nor the idea of dating and who he would want to date much before that, so he's not sure. He's going with that for now.

He waxes his eyebrows because he compulsively plucks them otherwise. Dying his hair also helps with trying not to pluck them.

He was mostly raised by Yashamaru, who is Jewish and raised him Jewish, but has a bit of a complicated relationship with that because there was a lot of projection on Yashamaru's end, and difficulty to see him as his own person and not just his late sister's baby. He's not religious although he sort of still observant out of habit. (Ex: he doesn't necessarily care about eating kosher, but it's also the food he's used to make and eat, so he will still go for that most of the time.)

Temari (in pyjamas mode in this picture because I didn't have something less casual that fitted her style in the picrew):

She works as a diplomat and is very much a workaholic. The trauma is strong but the grind is stronger.

Just like Kankurou, she was raised by Baki and her connection to Jewishness and Judaism are mostly self-taught. She is a bit less observant than Kankurou.

She has chronic pain that she probably ignores a bit too much, but who can really stop her. (Kankurou should try and probably does.) Compression stockings enthusiast.

She has a motorcycle that Kankurou is very afraid to ride. (Gaara is okay.)

I'll probably do more in this AU later!
