Without You (Chapter 15)

Chapter 15: Here's T-Rex, Here's Trouble

An unfortunate visitor to the Deadmans and Makoto wants to strangle Karizaki.

AO3:https://archiveofourown.org/works/43371954/chapters/123768916

The flowers that Hikaru bought, a few days ago, sit in a cup in his room. They don’t have any form of vase or really anything else good for keeping flowers in, so Hikaru always just filled a cup with water and put them in there. They stick out oddly and lean, even after he attempted cutting the stems down. He just accepted they’d wouldn’t appear as a perfect bouquet. And he really didn’t care much for them to.

As he’d intended for them to, they livened up his empty room. A splash of color that wasn’t his clothes or the blanket Hana had made for his last birthday. Just… something to make it all less miserable. Maybe, when Hana got back, he’d get her help to pick out some plants to keep in his room. That would be nice.

He’d made a habit, since he’d gotten the flowers, to go out and walk around every day, keeping an eye for alerts to any Deadmans appearing. That way, he could hurry over and do what he could to keep people safe, even if it was as little as helping people evacuate or helping a child find their parents. Hikaru had found a new purpose in life, and he was happy to have done so.

He thinks that Hana would be proud of him – will be proud of him, or at least something similar. Happy for him, maybe, or just glad that he’d started to figure things out of himself. Of course, he was still stuck with his parents, it wasn’t like he had anywhere else to go – while he could, in theory, ask to stay with the Igarashi family, he didn’t want to impose on them, and besides, it was still within the reach of his parents and Weekend. Only the way he’d be free of it all was if he found somewhere they couldn’t get to him, and he didn’t think such a place existed. If it did, it wasn’t anywhere he could get to.

That was okay, though. He thinks, once Hana comes back, everything will be good and fine again, and he’ll be happier than before. That was all Hikaru would ever dare to ask for, especially now that he had to go through his life without Hana in it, again.

Pulling his jacket on, and with a spring in his step, he leaves his room and heads out, prepared to just wander around until something happened. If nothing else, the walk was probably good for him, and it gave him time to think.

“Ikki… I wanna go out and fight again.” Vice whined, distracting Ikki from his perfectly interesting sports magazine. Ikki liked to read them, if only to be reminded of that brief while he got to feel like a normal kid, even while with the Deadmans, when he’d gotten to play with other kids. It had been a long time ago but… Ikki had found he’d liked it. Not that it had lasted long, but they were memories Ikki couldn’t help but cherish.

With a sigh, Ikki placed the torn piece of paper that was his makeshift bookmark in the magazine, so he could find his place later, and set it aside. “Why? Father hasn’t gotten on our case about going out and fighting again, so there’s no reason to.”

“It would be fun, come on.” Vice sounded a little giddy, “I mean, sure we weren’t trying to beat them, but we could push the Riders a little harder. We’re trying to force them to be stronger, right?”

“We are trying to help them get stronger,” Ikki conceded, “but… I don’t want them to hurt, and I don’t want father to realize the extent of our power with that Driver.” Though they’d both been careful to hold back when fighting, they’d felt just how much power they had as Riders. And they had no way of knowing if their father knew the extent.

Even though Vice had a mask that obscured his mouth, Ikki could tell he was pouting, “You know, he’s ‘spose to be ‘round today. I overheard a couple of his lackies mention it.”

His breath caught in his throat. “What? Father?”

“Yeah,”

There was… a lot that could happen when their father visited, and Ikki would consider none of it good. Especially now that Hana was here full time, he just knows that if she catches sight of any of it, she’s going to try to pick a fight, and that wouldn’t go badly. If she was lucky, he’d go easy and let her out mostly unscathed, but that wasn’t in character for their father.

No, it was imperative that Hana get nowhere near their father. The question was of how they were going to do that. Hana usually spent most of her time with Sakura, and when she wasn’t, she was usually in Sakura’s room. Maybe find a way to keep her in there? At worst, then, she’d probably only catch the aftermath of whatever happened.

“We… we can’t let Hana see what father does.”

It seemed Vice had caught Ikki’s train of thought, judging by the worried tone in his voice. “Oh. That’s gonna be hard.”

Ikki couldn’t help but sigh, “Tell me about it.”

“We could try to drag her out for a fight,” Vice suggested.

“You and fighting as a Rider again. That’s not going to work, anyway, we’d have to keep her out most of the day and we can’t be fighting for that long.” They’d get tired, and it wouldn’t really accomplish anything.

Vice pouts again, “I just want to see how strong we really are.”

Shaking his head, Ikki responded, “We can’t, not as long as father’s got an eye on us.”

“How boring.”

“Better than the alternative.”

---

There’s… something off, Hana realized. She can’t say what, exactly, but there’s this odd feeling in the air, something in how tense Sakura seemed, perhaps. Hana had seen Sakura dressed up in a few ways, the primary two being as Jeanne and then as Sakura Akaishi, a proper and formal woman who looked to mean business. Even when she’d arrived at Happy Spa with Ikki, that day, she’d been dressed in a pretty blouse and pants.

Today was sort of like that. Sakura fussed over her hair and her clothes and her everything, seemingly obsessed with everything being perfect with not a hair out of place. For some reason.

Hana had spent the past hour and a half watching her, and was becoming a bit concerned.

“Sakura, is something wrong?” Hana called.

Sakura sat her comb and hair pins down, turning to face Hana with a pleasant, but certainly fake, smile. “Why do you ask?”

“You’ve been at it for an hour and a half and are still going. You don’t care about your appearance that much.” Her tone was dry as she pointed out.

Smile falling, Sakura sighed, “It’s not something you should worry about, but I must ask that you stay in here today.”

“How come?”

It takes a few moments for Sakura to think, clearly cautious in doing so, before she answered, slowly, “Father is visiting today.”

From Hana’s understanding, a visit from Akaishi was never a good thing. That didn’t explain much, though, except perhaps why Sakura wanted Hana to hide away in her room all day. “…Okay…”

“And I’d like to keep him far from you.”

“Why?”

A frown graced Sakura’s lips, which had been carefully made red, but not too red, by lipstick she’d applied earlier. Hana thinks it’s too subtle, but she figures that’s probably what Sakura was going for. “I do not trust him around you.”

What did that mean? “Do you think he’s going to try to do something to me or whatever?”

The frown only deepened, “Please, Hana, just… I don’t want you getting hurt.”

Oh, Sakura was really very serious about this. Well if she doesn’t agree, then Hana’s going to feel terrible. It was obvious that she was already worried. If Hana doesn’t agree, then she’ll only worry more.

With a sigh, Hana had no choice but to concede defeat on the matter. “Fine, I’ll stay in here. Work on my knitting, I guess. I’ve got to find something else to do when you’re not here.”

A relieved smile comes to Sakura’s face, “Thank you, my queen. I’ll get you some flowers tomorrow, you can pick them out.”

Hana couldn’t help but giggle, “Oh, you know my weakness. The best way to make a bee like me happy is with flowers.”

“Then I’ll get you many flowers. As many as you want.”

“I don’t think there’s enough room for that many.”

Sakura looked less stressed, now. It really must have been a relief to have Hana agree to stay where she wasn’t going to run into her father.

Not for the first time, Hana couldn’t help but wonder just what Akaishi was like. She’d heard bits and pieces, between Sakura, Daiji, and Ikki, and she’d heard what he was like as the Director of Fenix, somewhat, through Tamaki. But that didn’t tell her much. The siblings made him out to be terrifying, almost like some kind of heartless monster, but they were always sparse on the details.

Maybe Sakura’s stress and the way she obsessed over looking perfect was warranted. Hana could vaguely recall she’d once said that their father was very particular about them being perfect. That they could show no weakness. Hana suspects that’s why Daiji and Kagerou had been so harsh to her the day that she trained with them, or why Daiji was so insistent on keeping his crush on Hiromi to himself. Akaishi probably drilled it into their head that loving someone was a weakness.

Which made Hana standing here, as Sakura’s queen, a very large and bright act of defiance. Probably the biggest “fuck you” that Sakura could do while still being under her father’s control. And it made all the more sense that Sakura wanted her nowhere near Akaishi, because if he realized what Hana was to Sakura – and surely he did – he’d probably want rid of her.

But who’s to say he won’t try to do something to punish Sakura for her weakness, even if he gets nowhere near Hana herself? With that in mind, Hana couldn’t help but worry once more.

“He… won’t hurt you, will he? For loving me?”

Once more, Sakura stopped what she was doing. This time, she didn’t turn to face Hana, just stared at her through the reflection in the vanity mirror. She’s careful when she answers, “…I… don’t know, Hana.”

“What kind of father hurts his own children?”

“No good one, I’m sure.”

---

Absentmindedly, Makoto watered Hana’s flower box, eyes darting between the box and the sky. It didn’t look like it would rain, and with Hana gone, someone had to keep her flowers alive. She wouldn’t be very happy if she’d found they’d died while she was gone, he was sure. Just one more, small, thing to add to the list of chores he’d taken on. He didn’t mind, especially if it was for one of his siblings.

He was far from perfect, but Makoto tried to be a good older brother, even if he still never quite knew how to. This whole thing with Hana was just the newest of the trials he had to figure out how to work through. He was still working on figuring it out, but he’ll get there eventually. Like so many other things, he had to.

Somehow, he thinks the biggest hurdle will be Tamaki, but he’s not prepared to talk to him about it yet, and he suspects that Tamaki wouldn’t be very open to it. At the moment, at least. So there was only waiting to be done on that front. Makoto was good at waiting, he often had little else to do.

“Makoto, good afternoon.” He’s snapped out of his thoughts by Hikaru’s voice. Compared to several days before, when Hana had been “kidnapped” in front of him, Hikaru looked far better.

“Hikaru,” Makoto greeted with a small smile, “You look… well. I’m glad.”

Hikaru laughed a little, “Yeah, it was… rough, at first but… well Hana wouldn’t want me moping around.” There’s a determined glint in his eyes.

He wasn’t wrong, either, Makoto suspected Hana would be happy to hear that Hikaru was doing well. “You’re right, she wouldn’t.”

“When she comes back, I hope she’ll be glad to hear. And I’m glad you’re keeping her flowers alive.”

“Of course, she loves them.” Makoto responded, “When Hana gets back, you’ll be one of the first to know, only after us and our parents.”

His smile fell, “Oh, yeah. How are your parents doing?”

“Better. It was pretty hard on mama especially but… we know who took Hana, she’s almost certainly alive, so the chances of her coming back sooner or later are pretty good.” Makoto grimaced, “It’s just that this all reminds her too much of what happened to her children before, I think.”

Gaze cast to the ground, Hikaru said, “It must be hard. But you guys are lucky to have parents who cared so much. If I got kidnapped… honestly, I’m not sure mine would notice.”

Right, Hikaru and his tenuous, at best, relationship with his parents. Though it would probably mean more if Hana were to say it, Hana wasn’t here, and as the eldest, it was Makoto’s duty to pick up the slack. “Well, Hikaru, if you ever feel you need to, you’re always welcomed here.”

“Er, it’s not like they hit me or anything,” Hikaru was quick to assure, “I just… well you know. We’re not close. But they don’t do anything to hurt me.”

“Sometimes, not doing anything is just as bad.”

Hikaru laughed awkwardly, “Well, anyway, I should be off. See you!” He’s quick to hurry off, obviously not wanting the conversation to continue any longer. Makoto wasn’t all that surprised.

With Hikaru off and Hana’s flowers watered, Makoto returns inside, ready to start on his next task. Which was… oh. Yukimi had taken care of the rest of the cleaning while he was out, which meant other than busywork cleaning of the entrance and foyer, he didn’t have much left to do. Joy.

This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened, but there was just too much that could be on Makoto’s mind for him to want his mind to be idle. He just wasn’t quite sure the best way keep himself busy while at the front desk. In the end he digs out a pen and paper and flips to the practice questions in a math textbook. He’d just gotten this one a month or so ago and hadn’t gotten a whole lot of time to work through it, yet, what with the Deadmans and being a Rider taking up a lot of his time.

Though he gets perhaps too absorbed in the math, as he doesn’t notice that someone’s come into Happy Spa, let alone who it is, until an annoyingly familiar voice stabs through his concentration.

“Ooh, whatcha working on there, Igarashi?” Standing in front of the desk was none other than Karizaki. The man that Makoto would rather avoid, after their uncomfortable interaction the day the Chameleon Deadman had appeared.

Looking up, Makoto set his pen down, quick to shut the book and try to flip the paper over. “That’s none of your business.” He’s not quick enough, as Karizaki snatched the paper right from Makoto’s hands. “Karizaki!”

Karizaki laughed, peering at the paper, “Wow, that’s some complicated stuff. Thought you didn’t finish high school?”

“I didn’t,” Makoto snatched the paper from him, the corner tearing and remaining in Karizaki’s hand. “And I was working on that. What are you here for, anyway? Definitely nothing urgent.”

“Why else would I come to a bathhouse? For your services, obviously.”

“Joy.” Makoto gritted his teeth, forcing the most polite smile he could muster and making himself shift into Customer Service mode. It was very hard, as Karizaki was currently filling him with a great annoyance he suspects is unique to Karizaki. “I’m still charging you, same as anyone else.”

Reaching into the pocket of his ridiculous coat, Karizaki smiled, “Of course, I’d expect no less.” There was something smug in his voice.

Makoto very desperately wanted to tell him to fuck off.

But he did not, as that would be impolite and bad customer service. Though did it really count when it was the annoying scientist who kept causing you some trouble or other (Makoto counted the fact that he’d made the Drivers and Vistamps at all as trouble)? No, it probably did still count. Unfortunately.

Despite going so far as to volunteer to work at the front desk, Makoto absolutely despised customer service. He hated forcing himself to be nice and polite, and while he’d gotten very good at it, it didn’t change that he still didn’t like it any more than he had to start with. But he made himself do it.

If nothing else, he considered it a strange form of self-imposed punishment. And it probably had done his patience some good, though there were times like these, with people like Karizaki, where that really didn’t mean much.

“I wonder if anyone’s told him he has a very punch-able looking face.” Regardless, though the thought came to his mind, Makoto was not going to voice that observation to Karizaki. That would be impolite and bad customer service. And also would probably just cause trouble. That didn’t mean Makoto didn’t think it was at least a little true, he just wasn’t dumb enough to say anything out loud. Not when he was stuck working with Karizaki for the foreseeable future.

Once more, Karizaki broke him from his thoughts, as it occurred to Makoto he may have been staring in Karizaki’s general direction. “See something you like?” And Karizaki winked.

Makoto held in a blanch, instead putting on a smile that he hoped would convey how much he wanted Karizaki out of his sight. “I was staring at the family portrait on the wall behind you.” He lied.

Karizaki glanced back. Makoto wasn’t making up the portrait, at least. It was from Tamaki’s high school graduation, Tamaki in the center, Hana on one side and Makoto on the other. Their parents had insisted on taking the picture, and like all family photos, it ended up in Happy Spa.

Then Karizaki looked back at him, less of a smile on his face, “How are you guys holding up? Your brother won’t tell me, instead he just growls. Think he’s in a foul mood.”

As if Makoto hadn’t noticed days ago. He sighed, “Karizaki, go take a bath. Now’s not the time for this.” Not to mention Makoto just really didn’t want to have this conversation with Karizaki. He didn’t believe Karizaki cared, at least not unless it affected him in some way, maybe his ability to test his inventions or something.

“Fine then,” Karizaki pouted, “I’ll ask you again afterward.” He sauntered on into the bathes.

Though Makoto would never say it out loud, he hoped very much for something, even a demon or the Deadmans in some way, to happen so he didn’t have to be here when Karizaki came back out. He didn’t want anything to do with Karizaki’s feigned concern, it was a waste of both of their time.

He’s relieved, thusly, when not too long later he gets a call that Revi’s appeared again, this time he has a demon with him. That was going to complicate things. While, unlike last time, he and Tamaki were in a lot better shape for fighting, even with Mr. Kadota’s help, it would be hard to juggle Revi, Vice, and this demon. Not that they had much choice.

Makoto rushed out, hurrying to where Revi was, Tamaki and Mr. Kadota already there, clearly ready to fight. Revi’s faked relaxed posture – he was clearly too tensed to be relaxed – changed upon Makoto’s arrival. The demon stayed at his side, seemingly docile, for now at least.

“Good, you’re all here.” Revi spoke, reaching into his jacket and pulling out the Driver and T-Rex Vistamp, like last time. “Now let’s get on with this.”

Activating the Vistamp and stamping the Driver, a text conversation appeared behind him, just like the last time. It must have something to do with how the Driver worked, Makoto almost wanted to ask Karizaki next he saw him, though he suspected it would simply put Karizaki in a huff.

This isn’t too bad for him to make us do.

It could be far worse. Doesn’t mean I like it.

Aww… lighten up a little I- Revi.

You know they can see this, right? It’s projected behind me like some… hologram or whatever.

I know. We just have to be careful with our thoughts. Not that your father’s here to punish you for them.

They can still see this, Vice.

Er, right, sorry…

With Revi and Vice standing there, accompanied by the demon, Makoto, Tamaki, and Mr. Kadota take the opportunity to transform. Makoto would love to linger on the meaning of the conversation between Revi and Vice, but now wasn’t the time for that. He could worry about it later, when they weren’t about to begin a fight.

Tamaki takes Vice again, Mr. Kadota Revi, and that leaves Makoto with the demon. It’s not the worst, he figures, but he’d prefer to be helping Mr. Kadota with Revi. Especially as he seemed a bit more tired than normal, Makoto had to wonder if something was bothering him, or maybe Daiji had dragged him into the exhausting training he was always dong. It really doesn’t matter why, though, what did matter was that he was clearly tired, even if only a little. And that made Makoto worry.

Maybe it was a bit hypocritical of Makoto, given how often he fought while tired or still somewhat injured from a previous fight, and Tamaki did the same. But Makoto wasn’t very important, and Tamaki was stubborn. There were too many people relying on Mr. Kadota for him to be so reckless with his own well being. Maybe Makoto would have to try to guilt him into taking some rest, after this.

It says something about the fights he’s been getting in most frequently that Makoto doesn’t have to pay his fight with the demon much mind, finding that he could easily defeat. Maybe there was some upside to constantly fighting opponents way out of his league – it pushed him to improve much more quickly than if he had only been fighting demons like this one.

With the demon defeated, Makoto can turn his attention to helping Tamaki and Mr. Kadota. Not that Tamaki needed much help, he was faring even better against Vice than last time. Though as Tamaki tackled Vice towards Makoto, he called out, “Koto! You handle Vice, I’m helping Captain Kadota!”

Makoto figured he should place some faith in Tamaki’s capabilities – and besides, he spies a new Vistamp in Tamaki’s hand. So he nods and decides to focus on fighting Vice, taking Tamaki’s place.

Tamaki activates the Vistamp – the Jackal Vistamp. Upon stamping it on his Driver, a gun appeared in his hands, in a manner not dissimilar to how the Marlin Vistamp gave Makoto his own weapon.

Pointing the gun at Revi, Tamaki focused, clearly looking for an opening to shoot Revi without too much of a risk of shooting Mr. Kadota instead. The moment he sees it, he pulls the trigger and shoots – it proves to be more effective than any other gun Fenix has, as Revi stumbles when it makes impact.

If there was one thing Fenix had actually taught Tamaki from the ground up, it was how to shoot a gun, and he certainly seemed good enough at it. Makoto had no real way of judging if that was an accurate assessment, and frankly, he didn’t care. As long as Vice and Revi were at least fought off, if not outright defeated. Giving Tamaki a proper weapon was a good way of aiding that.

---

The moment Hikaru heard that Revi had appeared, and with a demon to boot, he rushed towards the location. He arrived quickly, while there were only a few scattered squads of Fenix soldiers present, and many people were still trying to get far away.

The before, Hikaru set about doing his best to help people, reunite anyone who got separated from someone they’d rather not be, be it friends or children and their parents. Every person he helped, even if it was just helping someone who stumbled and fell, made him feel… better. Like he was actually doing something.

Like maybe, he could make someone’s life just a little better by helping them get to safety sooner, or lessening the amount of time they spent distressed. Maybe it wasn’t much, maybe the Riders were doing far more, but… It was still more than Weekend was doing. That was enough for him.

When Hana got back, maybe she could help him. It could perhaps help satisfy that need to fight that she always had, though he wouldn’t get his hopes up. Not to mention that it might not be a good idea to have her all that close to where a demon or the Deadmans might be, for a variety of reasons. He quickly scratched that thought; this was something he’d do on his own.

That was okay, maybe that was the purpose of Hikaru Ushijima.

---

Sakura is shaking when she enters the room, Hana is quick to set her knitting aside, shut the door behind Sakura, and wrap her arms around her. “Sakura?”

Tightly, Sakura wrapped her arms around her, leaning to place her face in Hana’s shoulder. “I… I just need a- a minute.” She sounded so strangely… small.

“Love love…” Lovekov took her place beside Hana and Sakura, prompting Hana to maneuver Sakura to the bed. Lovekov followed, slithering up onto the bed and wrapping her stubby arms around Sakura, the best she could.

“What’s wrong?” Hana asked. Was this because of Akaishi?

She pulled Hana tighter, “Father…” Sakura said slowly, “expects only the best from us.”

Hana wants to make a joke about it, if only because she can’t think of any other way to respond. She’d gotten that impression about Akaishi from only the things she’d heard, it was little surprise that he really was as bad as he sounded. But what Sakura right now was comfort, not Hana making light of the situation.

Maybe she hadn’t understood just how terrible Akaishi was.

With Hana’s silence, Sakura continued. “He said… so many things. He always says them, it isn’t a surprise but…” She lifts her head, just a little. Hana can see tears in her eyes. “it still hurts. When we’re not enough, he makes sure we know. That’s why I hide Lovekov away – she’s my weaknesses, all bundled into one demon. I’m sure father knows of her, but if he can’t see her – then I can’t show weakness.”

“Love… Sakura love. Love.” Hana still didn’t understand Lovekov – she’s not sure she ever will, at least not like Sakura can, but she can make out enough of what Lovekov meant to do. She was trying to comfort Sakura.

Holding Sakura tightly, Hana said, “Whatever he said, it’s just to hurt you. I bet it’s all wrong – and who cares about weaknesses? We all have them, hiding them doesn’t do much good.”

“It makes it harder for those who oppose you to exploit them.” Sakura responded, tone grave, “unfortunately, it’s a sound strategy, when you must lead people. In that regard, it is better for us to be feared and respected than to show an ounce of weakness or anything else that may make us seem the same as others. Besides, that would be a lie, to come off like we’re normal when we’re not and never will be. A cruel lie.”

Before, Hana had wandered about the Deadman base. It sounded plenty like the people there respected their leaders, at least to her. She didn’t understand what fear had to do with any of it. Or why being seen as normal was so bad – sure, normal was boring and she thinks the people who think themselves normal are more cruel than those who think themselves not, but being seen as normal wasn’t really a bad thing. It had kept Hana from the people who made Tamaki their target, at least to some extent.

Though Hana had questions, she considered that it might be better to leave them, at least for now. So she changed the subject, “It’ll be okay. Anyway, I knitted today, like I said. I’m making you a sweater, since you like being all warm.”

With a small laugh, once more against Hana’s shoulder, Sakura seemed to smile, “I’m sure it will be wonderful, and I’ll cherish it.”

“Love love!” Lovekov loved, stubby arms waving up and down.

Sakura laughed, more this time. “She says you’ll have to make her one, too.”

Hana laughed in kind, reaching to give Lovekov a pat on the head, “Of course, Lovey.”

---

After using the Demons Driver, Hiromi had begun to notice he was more and more tired. Like he’d been working himself hard, even though it hadn’t been any different from before. Sometimes, he felt like he might collapse as soon as he was out of sight of Tamaki and Makoto.

Maybe tired wasn’t the most accurate word for it. Maybe the better word was drained. Like someone had sucked all the energy out of him. He could manage it now, but if it kept up, who knew what could happen. Makoto had helped him with Revi last time, Tamaki this time, but who knew how long that would keep up. He had to be able to fight on his own, otherwise there’d be no point.

Not to mention, he didn’t want to worry anyone, certainly not the Igarashi brothers. But he also wanted to keep word of this sudden drained feeling from getting to Daiji, as well. If Daiji found out, he’d do nothing but fret, and that was the last thing Hiromi needed – Daiji shouldn’t be fretting about him, anyway, and should be paying his own wellbeing more mind.

This was probably nothing, anyway.

Disney:

I ship you with Flynn Rider!

alright, we already know that flynn has a secret soft side to him, and i 100% believe that you unlock it without trying, on like, the second time you meet flynn.

i want to say that you met flynn fairly early on in his life - when he first got out of the orphanage and was still a thief in training. he probably made some dashing rescue when you were cornered by some thugs, and you thanked him with some coin and maybe a dinner? who knows. both of you are young and neither of you well off financially, so you share what little you have. when he leaves, you noticed he let you keep your money. so he’s a gentleman, huh?

he continues to find reasons to stop by your village, his excuses getting increasingly worse over time. on all of his visits, flynn seems to have the mission of getting to know you better - and you’re not going to easily reveal your secrets. after all, a girl’s gotta look out for herself, doesn’t she?

flynn learns that you are a very ambitious person with a lot of smarts that you’re proud of, and he likes your confidence - it’s something he’s had to build over a lifetime, so he loves the fact that it comes so easily to you.

he also loves your optimism. he used to have it, once, and it’s refreshing to find someone who truly and honestly believes in the world.

getting to know you is slow going, but it also takes time to get to know him, so fair is fair. and the more you learn about each other, the more you want him to stay. you, of course, know about his life on the run as a master thief, and he has hidden in your house plenty of times before.

what’s most interesting about your relationship is that flynn talks about the future with you. you know what you want to do with your life and are working towards it with all the tenacity in the world. you are headed in one direction and nothing can stop you, and that inspires flynn and reminds him of himself. and both of you are going to do all you can.

(if you want to get some angst in this headcanon set, maybe your ambitions take you to the castle - maybe you want to be a healer or someone who offers intellectual council, idk. anyway, your ambitions put you in direct opposition of flynn, and the two of you probably have a few run ins. and while there isn’t animosity and you always let him run free, there is a distance between the two of you. BUT, your time at court doesn’t work out and you have to go back to your roots - to flynn.)

or! maybe you’re an actress in plays! you know that if you were, flynn would sneak into your shows to watch you and would leave you a single flower after your performance.

you’re relationship is a lot of fun! it involves a lot of sneaking around, a lot of stolen, soft moments, and then talks at the kitchen table, with the candle burning low and all the world between you two.

ugh, i just love this concept.

Marvel:

I ship you with Peter Parker!

you and peter are the sweetest couple ever, two nerds who probably had feelings for eachother for a long time, but were too shy and awkward to mention them.

since you mentioned video editing, can i propose the idea of you taking videos of spider-man, not knowing it’s peter? may i propose the idea of you making youtube videos about spider-man and kind of being his hype man in the early stages? may i suggest the idea that you are the reason why spider-man blew up online, and it stresses peter out to no end?

i really want peter to bring you into the fold and tell you that he’s spider-man because you’ve been bringing him a lot of attention and have started making theory videos on who he is and how he got his powers, and the stress of you possibly figuring out and telling the whole world is literally killing him.

then you can work to steer the evidence away from peter and to someone else, lol.

alright, but back to basics - you and peter both have altruistic goals! peter wants to make a difference and you do, too. you’re both kind of quiet in your goals but work toward them with a fervor, and it’s good for both of you to find someone with so much drive and willingness.

also, the two of you are nerds! you can be nerds together! you would never have to hide your interests from peter and that is honestly such a relief. you definitely geek out over harry potter and all sorts of movies - you’re still trying to sell peter on paying attention to the full lore of star wars, but he really only listens for you and ned.

you both are a little sensitive, but you are able to work through that together. you both are unafraid to lean on the other and be vulnerable with each other, and that’s an exceptional trait to have, so the fact that you employ it so early on is good.

peter, too, has that young at heart yet old soul vibe to him, and that’s because he’s had to struggle in life. he’s lost a lot of people and is poor, all of which ages him (mcu peter doesn’t really have this vibe, but other spideys do), and yet he is still a teenager! he’s still trying his best and wants to see the world! he has wonder in his eyes, and that makes him young again. you understand how he can be simultaneously both, which is good, because explaining that can be rough, and he also understand that in you. lots of mutual understanding is good for you - esp. since his life is so complicated, being spiderman.

oh! peter also loves watching bootl*gs of musicals with you. the two of you will hang out at his place, eating microwave popcorn while trying to enjoy the shaky video. peter talks a lot through movies, but it’s all good, because if you kiss his cheek, he gets flustered and goes very quiet for at least 10 minutes.

Harry Potter:

I ship you with Draco Malfoy!

okay, you gotta stick with me here, because i promise you i have some thoughts about this

i mostly get post-war vibes. i imagine the two of you didn’t interact a lot at school, and if you did, it was in passing - partners in charms once or twice, nothing that could make the two of you especially hate each other later in life.

i’m going all out and saying you both work in the ministry - in the same or similar departments, both of you working late into the night. you, because of your ceaseless ambitions and draco because working clears his mind from all the horrors of his past.

it first starts out that the two of you pass by each other at night, almost shutting off the lights on the other because you thought you were alone. i imagine that draco approaches you first - he has a problem that you can help him solve, and he’s pleasantly surprised by your pride in what you know and the vehemence with which you state the facts. he didn’t know you were so strong willed. it vaguely reminds him of himself, and that’s where the interaction ends.

after that, though, he’s bridged the gap. now, he’ll come over to you for advice on how to do some of his ministry work - you’re really good in a lot of areas, and you’re incredibly concise. when he comes over to your desk, you now ask him about some of your own challenging problems, and the two of you are work friends, now.

it’s a slow burn to end all slow burns, but eventually draco brings you a cup of tea/coffee/hot chocolate one winter's night when the two of you are working late - his way to say thank you for all of your help. he’s not used to this - reaching out and being nice, but you inspire it in him.

one night he helps you walk some paperwork back to your house - some work you still have to do over the holidays - and he offers his help, if you need it.

i imagine that you don’t exactly want to call draco malfoy over to your apartment during the holidays, so you don’t, but when you realize how far you are behind, you call him over on a saturday and the two of you work all day. it’s mindless filing, mostly, so the two of you have time to talk, if you want to. draco’s pretty silent this whole time, but you are talkative and you eventually get him to crack. you talk about your earliest years at hogwarts. draco rolls his eyes at how dramatic he was and groans at some of his actions. (”remember when you made those “’potter stinks’ buttons? you had a button press in the slytherin common room and gave them out to everyone. i can’t believe snape let you keep a button press!”) the two of you have a lot of tea and you go to get lunch at a restaurant nearby, and when you’re walking back after your meal (where he laughed - actually laughed at something you said) he turns to you and sincerely apologizes for all that he was in his hogwarts years. and because there was never too much bad blood between you two, you shrug off his apology.

and it takes a lot of time for both of you to open up - and i mean a lot of time. you guys steadily become friends who tell each other everything, and it’s you who drags draco to parties with other school mates whom he reconciles with (although he still gives apologies to the main trio, quite often). because you’re a little more extroverted, you bring draco out of his shell while still being introverted in your activities.

you also take draco to your favorite muggle places - the theatre being one of them. i want to say that you go to see les mis or hadestown, because i feel like draco would actually really like those musicals. you also do a lot of movie watching, which draco loves. he gets to set aside his troubles for a few hours or so, and it’s nice.

a few more ideas - you teach draco to cook, you realise draco has a love for poetry and find it very sweet (but you lord it over him, of course), you gossip about your coworkers together, and you star gaze.

EVENTUALLY the two of you get together, and it’s just really sweet. draco’s not big on pda, but he will always give you his arm, or he will hold your hand, and the love is in the gentle stares and soft smiles.

#2.5k celebration!#celebration #lxncelotships #i went off with your draco headcanons but i had some thoughts™

A Subpar Guide To Unine

I was inspired by this video, their new album coming out on May 6, 2020, and also yanjuniverse saying something about not knowing them and wondering if there was a guide or something so yeah!

anyway please enjoy my nonsense it’s fun and there are a lot of songs and performances that I recommend looking at!

if anything is unclear, send me a message or something! i just want everyone to love Unine

Unine is the second nine member group to be created by Idol Producer/Youth With You/QCYN/whatever you want to call the competition show. The group is made up of Li Wenhan, Li Zhenning, Yao Mingming, Guanyue or Guan Yue, Jiayi, Hu Chunyang, Xia Hanyu, Chen Youwei, and He Changxi.

The official fandom name is Nano. Unine debuted with their EP 《UNLOCK》 on May 6, 2019. Their album 《U-Night Flight》 will be coming out on their one year anniversary May 6, 2020.

As someone commented on YouTube under one of their videos, I can’t remember which one please don’t ask, they are a more vocal line leaning group whereas Nine Percent was more rap line leaning. I think it’s neat to see the contrast between what people want to see in any given year and how different their music styles are.

Some members have been in or are currently in other groups as well, so you may see some familiar names if you don’t know Unine (yet ;})

Members:

Li Wenhan

Final Rank: 1

Leader, Center, Main Vocalist, Lead Dancer, Sub Rapper, Face of the Group

‘94 Liner

A Cancer with his birthday being July 22

Yuehua Entertainment boy

Representative Animal: Shiba Inu

A member of the Sino-Korean boygroup Uniq

There his position is Vocalist

He is fluent in Chinese, Korean, and English

His nickname is Hanhan

He is also an actor and owns 2 cats and a corgi

He says that every time he’s working on a new project he adopts another cat or dog

He is very caring towards his younger trainees and is always looking out for them

Neighboring Tarzan was a good performance of his and it also contains 5/9 Unine members so that’s pretty frickin cool tbh

His audition stage was Uniq’s “Monster” and it was a great performance like Minghao and Jolin were jamming along to it

also the flower petals at the end that they then had to clean up killed me it was a beautiful effect but ill planned with the consequences

“gui-ze” meme stemmed from this performance

please let this tired man rest

He studied in the US but then left to focus on his music career

He has a great singing voice and is always ready to help his members and he is just a good leader wow

Li Zhenning

Final Rank: 2

Lead Dancer, Lead Vocalist, Lead Rapper, Face of the Group

‘95 Liner

He is a Scorpio (like me!!) with his birthday being November 5

BG Project boy

Representative Animal: Koala

Nicknames include Shenshen and Black Pearl due to his tanned skin

He has a cat named Aoao who is a little over a year old now I think maybe?

He didn’t get noticed until his Retreat performance where he pulls his tie

He used to be one of those people who was like “this person is actually quite good; nothing’s wrong with him, but I can’t remember him” and like he considered himself like that and him debuting at the no. 2 spot was really well deserved and i am so proud

This is also the performance where he rapped and he spent so much time practicing for it and it was successful and I am just really proud of him bc he leans more as a vocal and was really struggling and wanted to make sure he did it right and i’m jsut really proud i love himso mcuh

His dancing in this stage was unmatched by anyone else there (and this sounds biased because i am)

Li Zhenning vs Li Shenshen

on stage mans is focused and completely undaunted and carries sexier concepts well

off stage mans is baby boy. baby. he’s goofy and adorable and i love hiim so much

compares himself to a koala because “especially [his] nose shape is similar…and [his] eyes look blurred…[and he’s] sleepy all the time”

we stan a short king (he’s 5′9 which yeah, is taller than me, but still)

He dances so well and just owns any stage he is on

Rebuild is one of my favorite stages hes done and coincidentally has 5/9 members of Unine in it, though they didn’t know at the time of course

He was incredible during this stage like ugh i didn’t have a bias bc he was there, Mingming was there, Changxi was there, i had no way of surviving

Hair Color King

He had a blue-lavender color during Rebuilt, in Unine’s Set It Off mv he had blue, he’s had black and blond and he’s rocked all of them

Yao Mingming

Final Rank: 3

Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist, Sub Rapper

‘97 Liner

He is a Capricorn with his birthday being January 5

One Cool Jasco Entertainment boy

Representative Animal: Cat

He had been a trainee for six, almost 7 years, when he debuted with Unine

He had several near debuts including with Seventeen

Speaks Chinese and Korean

Because of this, he was very closed off at first with the other trainees and eventually had to have a talk with Zhang Yixing PD

The gist of the conversation was that Mingming was sort of…doubting, I guess you could say, his talents and Yixing told him to treat the show as if he were a new trainee

This led to Mingming becoming more open with the other trainees and more confident in his talents and skills and it really showed and I was really happy he was able to debut bc he deffo deserved it

Mingming’s gray and floral suit in the Rebuild stage is something i think about on a weekly basis at least it’s a really good look for him guys

also just the confidence and cockiness he has during this stage i love to see it

He also has an opportunity to really show off his dancing skills and i loved it for him

He can do imitations really well and likes to imitate Hanyu a lot

think Yesungie and Eunhyuk except accurate

He has very feline features

this has nothing to do with anything he’s just really really pretty

is it because i am biased? perhaps

Guan Yue

Final Rank: 4

Lead Dancer, Lead Vocalist, Sub Rapper

‘94 Liner

He’s a Capricorn with his birthday being January 16

Cast Planet Entertainment boy

Representative Animal: Rabbit

The leader of XII Constellations as a whole and the subunit The Wind

12C is a CPE group with a concept of having four 3-member units, each focusing on a different music style

The Wind focuses on bright and upbeat music and was the first to debut in 2017

Currently there are only six members of 12C

He knows sign language as both of his parents are deaf and when the trainees are allowed to call home, we see him talking with his mother

He has a lot of love and respect for his mother and it shows

His goal in life is to make enough money to support his family so they don’t have to work

I love Guan Yue’s “Turn Up” stage like the cockyness and confidence he has is fantastic i love to see it

his costume is also pretty good esp considering what the trainees sometimes have to wear

also Shenshen and Mingming are in it as well

His performance in Ugly Beauty was incredible also

I loved his Neighboring Tarzan performance bc he was able to include his dialect in his rap part and I love when trainees are able to bring more of themselves into a performance

I want him and Chen Linong to collab bc he was essentially idp2′s Nongnong with the infectious smile and incredible stage presence

the cutie, sweetie, angel, sweetheart, etc. of the group and of the show’s run

Jiayi

Final Rank: 5

Lead Dancer, Lead Rapper, Lead Vocalist, Visual

‘98 Liner

He’s a Cancer with his birthday being July 14

Star Master Entertainment boy

Representative Animal: Bear

Is a member of Mr. Tyger

There he held the roles of Visual, Lead Vocalist, Sub Rapper, and Youngest

One of his nicknames is Little Star

He can play the saxophone

His favorite part of his body are his eyebrows, which, valid

Jolin Tsai’s Xukun

So like y’kno how Yixing was a fan of Xukun the moment he saw him? Jolin was a fan of Jiayi the minute she saw him

The “Ugly Beauty” performance was certainly something to witness

Jiayi as a blond was a fantastic look and i miss it. a lot.

like Neighboring Tarzan was very good look for him even tho the stage costumes were a little a lot extra

his dance was great and bitch got them body rolls on lock

Jiayi vs Huang Jiaxin

on stage focused, determined, owns it

off stage he’s a giant goofball and i love him so much

hes like unfairly handsome but thankfully likes to make dumb faces

somehow he still stays pretty its upsetting at times

Hu Chunyang

Final Rank: 6

Main Raper, Sub Vocalist, Youngest

‘99 Liner (like me!!)

He’s an Aquarius with his birthday being February 5

Yuehua boy

Representative Animal: Golden Retriever

Nickname is Yangyang

Was one of those nerds who would rather stay behind in class and finish their work than go and eat or whatever

Mad respect tho bc i am too when i am at campus dkfja;lsdk

At his audition stage, he covered Wang Yibo’s rap in Uniq’s “Monster” and honestly who is doing it better than him?

I want to see him and Justin interact so bad they had to have they’re both YH boys

@ YueHua let me please have this

Yangyang in the Neighboring Tarzan performance really emphasized how great he is at rapping

he seems at first like a shy and introverted guy but is a mean and grouchy little man when you get to know him

i love to see it

older trainees were always looking out for him

he has a really stable rap voice

Xia Hanyu

Final Rank: 7

Main Vocalist, Sub Rapper

‘97 Liner

Gemini as his birthday is June 11

Show City Times boy

Representative Animal: Wolf

He can play the piano incredibly well and also plays the guitar

His first impression was that of “the big bad wolf

However when he gets more comfortable with the group, he becomes a big softie and his smile compels me to smile

Still uses his dark looks to his advantage thoooo

he was being dramatic and mean once and then like after saying his ‘insult’ immediately cracked and started laughing and hiding his face

HIGH NOTE KING

shenshen in response to a performance said he immediately got goosebumps

Neighboring Tarzan was a great way for him to show off his high notes imo

He had red hair one time and I miss it a lot bc it looked good

Chen Youwei

Final Rank: 8

Lead Rapper, Visual, Sub Vocalist

‘98 Liner

He is a Cancer with his birthday being July 7

Ciwen Media boy

Representative Animal: Pig

Attended Zhejiang Sci-Tech University and majored in fashion

He can play the guitar

He modeled and is also an actor, having been in several cdramas

The most notable of these is “Story of Yanxi Palace” where he played 5th Prince

He was greeted as such by the other trainees when he walked into the room

He’s also a scholar and this was shown in a rap he had created during the show

mans is the donghae of unine

in that they’re teased for how they speak

his mandarin is bad and donghae’s korean is bad

his rapping is good and he seems like a real sweetheart

mans also likes to munch, saying he can eat 5 meals a day

He Changxi

Final Rank: 9

Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist

‘97 Liner

He is a Sagittarius with his birthday being November 24

OACA Entertainment boy

Representative Animal: Lesser, or Red, Panda

His English name is Jerry and I deeply hate how much it fits him

His nicknames include Xixi and Yong Ri Didi

He loves a good ginger foot bath

Like it was such a well known fact that Yixing even asked him about it once

He wasn’t really noticed until his performance in Fire which is especially impressive considering that his performance wasn’t filmed in front of an audience but instead one of the practice rooms

there was a competition between two teams for each song and the winning team would get to perform on stage in front of the youth producers

Xixi really looked so fierce and confident in the Rebuild stage I was so proud

He also did a dance cover of EXO’s “Love Shot” and if you’ve been following me for a minute you know that i love EXO’s music and it was great to see

his killing part was also a reoccuring meme

Mingming loves teasing him and it’s so funny

UNINE Videos: (flashing lights warning)

《春日記憶 Memories of Spring》 – My favorite song by them, this is the lyrics video in Chi/Pinyin/Eng

《春日記憶 Memories of Spring》 – This is the performance from their fan meeting I believe. The choreo is so beautiful and I want an MV like last week.

《春日記憶 Memories of Spring》 – This is their performance from the Reedit Stage.

《SET IT OFF》 – official MV. There’s a lot of jumping out of windows, Guan Yue has purple hair, Shenshen has blue hair, and Jiayi and Xixi look great. The song is a bop, there’s a nautical theme, what more could you ask for? A coherent plot for an MV??? Overrated. It’s essentially Unine’s 《RULE BREAKER》. It’s from their second mini album “Unusual”.

《SET IT OFF》 – This is a live performance at the Mnet Asian Music Awards. I have a bone or two to pick with the sound editor of the video but they deliver a fantastic performance. I like their choreo a lot and it’s more clearly able to be seen on the live stage.

《BOMBA》 – official MV. Their first single I believe. Very colorful and fun, the song matches the vibe of the MV. Mingming’s iconic holding a geometric hanging light like a pear is from this MV. Hanyu also spends half the MV wrecking my bias. If I had more braincells I would do an analysis of the MV but alas.

《BOMBA》 – From the Reedit Stage.

《官方直拍 Like A Gentleman》 – Live performance from their fan meeting. I really like this song and the costumes for stage are stripey and I love stripes. The lights and screen in the background are in neons and it kind of gives the performance a nostalgic feeling and it’s just a really cute song.

《官方直拍 Like A Gentleman》 – The lyrics video in Chi/Pinyin/English. The song is really cute you guys and Changxi and Mingming are great in it.

Videos From the Other Groups the Members Are In:

《爱的就是你 Love Is You》 – XII Constellations: The Wind ft. Liu Jia

《燃烧吧，拳头 Burn, Fists》 – XII Constellations: The Fire [flashing lights warning]

Note: this doesn’t have Guan Yue but I decided to put it in here to really exemplify the concept that 12C is about. Also the song lowkey pops off and reminds me of my emo phase

《Monster》 – Uniq (Chinese version)

《EOEO》 – Uniq (Chinese version) [flashing lights warning]

《钛戈》 – Mr. Tyger [flashing lights warning]

《夜空悬浮》 – Mr. Tyger [flashing lights warning]

OC MASTERPOST

Alright, putting this together you really notice how old most of these characters are, theres a lot of cliched and coincidental stuff in there that i & others came up with when i was 15-21. Finn got the whole brunt of my edgy scene teen angst phase... but then again Asher is brand new and not looking any better so there’s that. Sorry children, i love the drama. Also all of them being queer men is absolutely just teenage me living out my queer male identity through them before i even knew it hasghj.

NAME/NICKNAME: Finnegan Bastien Jeong-Bak / Finn, Junebug (by his fans) (his terrible mish mash of a name is product of his parents forcefully pushing their heritage away to make it easier for Finn to fit in, once they reached his sister they were more relaxed about the problem)

AGE/BIRTHDAY: 27 years / 17.04.

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: French Canadian / Asian (South Korean)

BASED ON: /

GENDER/SEXUALITY: Cis male / bisexual (probably pan if he’d be more informed)

FAMILY: FATHER | Jin Hee Jeong | 48 years | janitor | very difficult relationship, for most of his life he considered his father to be a good dad till the drinking started and then the abuse, hes still not quite ready to let his relationship with his father go, so he keeps in contact, which often led to fights with Shawn, as well as the fact that Finn still has not outed himself in front of his father out of fear of rejection

MOTHER | Yeon Soo Bak | 47 years | owns a café | similarly rocky, they are now at a good point but he knows his mother struggles with his identity and life choices, so much she tried to manipulate a lot of things in the past but learned to leave that be, he is grateful towards her for leaving his father when she did. he bought her a café cause he loves her so much

SISTER | Sun Marise Haywood, née Jeong-Bak | 24 years | stay at home mom | he was always close to his sister, she just assimilated into his friend group in high school, and still is an important part of his life, or is again, they had a phase of not talking after some jealousy issues regarding his relationship with Shawn and her friendship with him, Sun is very protective over her brother and his mental instability and does her best to keep him healthy. That includes a very strict anti-Shawn stance, regarding the pain he has caused her brother in the past. Sun is happily married and has a daughter, a fact that somewhat relieves Finn, at least someone in the family that fulfills their mother’s wishes.

NIECE | Molly Florence Haywood | 4 months | A literal baby. Finn famously is not very keen on children, especially babies and goes out of their way. His niece however managed to steal his heart, plus he can just give her back to her mother when she becomes troublesome, the ideal arrangement. He likes to spoil her.. not that she would care at this point.

HALFBROTHER | Bryant Cole Reno | 7 years | student | His father’s illegitimate child with an American prostitute. Classy. But not Bryant’s fault. Finn learned of his existence when he was 3 and has since then sort of taken part in raising him, not that he would ever consider that to be true. He is very sensible to his brothers living conditions considering the bad stuff he himself experienced growing up, and does his best to ensure him to grow up happy and healthy, which includes denying him contact with their father (despite not pulling the same measures for himself). Bryant is a smart kid, overachieving, Finn already feels like he is dancing circles around him, and truly does not know where the kid gets it from.

FRIENDS: Noteworthy are on the Canadian side: His childhood/youth best friend Kitty (deceased), almost equally important Logan & Colin (all three of them share a brain cell), his ex-girlfriend of 5 years Emily (rocky long distance friendship atm), ex-affair & close friend Raphael (his voice of reason). On the American side: Close friends Randy (trashfire bff) & Jade (cinnamon bun), his ex-boyfriend of ~4 years Shawn (heartbreak!!).

S.O.: No one atm cause he is, even after 2 years apart, still very much desperately hung up on Shawn and not getting over that breakup anytime soon. Learning that Shawn is in a new relationship has thoroughly pulled the rug out from under him and left him questioning why Shawn managed to move on so much quicker (and if the other guy is more attractive than him). He also struggles very much with the fact that Shawn has made extremely positive progress in the two years without him (unable to see that the same is applicable to himself too).

I guess that still deserves an entry here:

Shawn Alexander | 28 years | currently Barkeeper & Musician | Shawn comes from a rich family and therefore has the polar opposite starting conditions to Finn, but nonetheless experienced many shared interests, but also miseries, from abusive fathers to drug use. With two general distinctions: While Finn’s mother acted after discovering the abuse, Shawn’s mother stayed complicit. While Shawn escaped into his heroin addiction, Finn developed an strict anti-drug stance after Kitty’s death. They were a volatile mixture, the good times were extraordinarily good, the bad ones catastrophic, with Finn quickly acting out when cornered and Shawn reacting aggressively, their fights were often ruthless. Finn has considered many times since they broke up that maybe people who love each other, even this strongly, are not necessarily automatically meant to be together. That does naturally not have any impact on his feelings or his lacking ability to act reasonable when it comes to emotions.

OCCUPATION: Professional Tennis Player (out of spite)

ABILITIES: highly athletic, good cook, excellent singer & musician, good technical understanding (esp. towards cars), fluent in french (native) & english, minor knowledge of korean

INTERESTS: cooking, music, sports, cars, video games, podcasts about movies, games, techincal innovations and whatever obscure topic interests him at the moment (podcasts, games and other media is stuff that he only recently discovered for himself, since his job does not allow for a lot of time with his friends, so that’s his compensation)

APPEARANCE: 6′3″ tall and muscular (but too lean for his liking, he cannot built up mass for the love of it), dark brown eyes and nearly black hair, currently a little over chin long but worn in a bun or ponytail (he feels like short hair makes him look like a child, but he’s also just too busy/lazy to get haircuts every couple of weeks), a prominent scar runs through his left eyebrow, he has multiple tattoos, a flower pattern on the inside of his right arm, a skeleton with a laurel wreath on the inside of his left arm, a geometric pattern just above his ankle on the inside of his right leg, more geometric patterns on his shoulder blades and a moth in the middle just below his neck

PLOTPOINTS: born in Montreal to south korean parents | best friends with Kitty (Catherine) | best friends with Logan & Colin | struggles in school because of growing up with multiple languages, hyperactivity and later problems with authority figures | free time either spent on the streets with his friends or with his father at his job as a mechanic | relationship with Emily age 13 | growing behavioral issues at first misunderstood as ‘only’ adhd | starting music (drumming, later other instruments) & sport (tennis) to make him tired | dedication to sport & music as compensation for bad schoolwork, to show he’s at least good at something | father loses job, becomes driving instructor | move to poorer area of town | added stress in family setting | with 15 diagnosis BPD after behavioral issues became increasingly dangerous | Finn becomes aware of his father’s drinking problem, often being the one to take care of him during and after these times | with 16 affair with 25 yo Raphael (in hindsight Finn finds this somewhat alarming) | more time spent away from the family, more time on the streets with minor criminal activities & drug use (in varying degrees, Kitty taking heroin being the strongest) | school work evens out through good grades in subjects he was interested in vs bad grades in everything else | with 18 family vacation in New York, Finn meets Shawn, they have an ons | break-up with Emily, after she finds out about his affair & one-night-stands | after Finn & the others were away for another vacation they come back to find out that Kitty has used the opportunity to kill herself with a planned overdose, Finn never reads the good-bye letter, he spends the next months in a state of emotional crisis and gives up on finishing school, when he can get out of bed he spends his time with sports as an distraction | Jin-hee’s alcoholism & job clash as he and a student get in an accident with alcohol in Jin-hee’s system, he loses his job and the trial, now having to pay heavy compensation for the damages, pushing the family further into poverty | Finn and his father start to fight more and more, with Jin-hee’s condition worsening and Finn provoking him, either actively, or by choosing not to carry his weight in the family and generally being an undesirable son, resulting in Jin-hee venting his anger by hitting his son | with Finn turning 21 his mother definitively discovers what had been going on, she leaves Jin-hee in an ugly divorce, takes her kids & moves to New York | despite everything Finn keeps contact with his father and has somehow managed to mostly forgive him | Finn & Shawn meet again & quickly end up in a relationship | when Finn learns about Shawn’s heroin addiction he wants to end things, but decides to give him a chance | what follows is 4-5 years up and down with two break-ups, one after a series of misunderstandings and meddling from Yeon that end up with Finn cheating, another one after a burned Shawn learns, after giving it another chance, about things that Finn has hidden from him, such as Jin-hee’s illegitimate child that Finn himself has only recently met, and a row of events unfold that lead to Shawn attempting but failing suicide | when he learns about it Finn declares Shawn as dead in his eyes and tells him he never wants to see him again | another emotional crisis for Finn and again he throws himself into sports to drown out the bad thoughts and make himself too tired to think, only this time he meets the right people and with the right support ends up gliding into the professional sports world | he spends the next two years building up his carrer like a madman and thoroughly enjoys being occupied at all times, as well as for the first time in his life having a stable and strict rhythm to his days, a healthy sleep cycle & positive reaffirmation that help with his mental stability.. oh, and he’s pining for Shawn of course

BONUS INFO: I created him when i was a wee teen but wrote him in different RPGs almost till today, so there were a lot of different versions and revisions. Originally he was a caucasian redhead, it was only years later that i put it together that much of his family dynamics and some of his character would very much fit a minority/immigrant narrative. He was always french-canadian, but in the beginning he moved to England instead of New York (fun fact: it was Canterbury, which is why i later used the city for Teddy instead). Really sad to have lost Shawn’s accent, but honestly it makes much more sense for the city to be so much closer to home. If i would call any of my OCs my main OC it would definitely be Finn, he is my obsession, there’s next to no days where i don’t imagine him in some sort of scenario, AU or canon. I am however hesitant to use him for anything, since part of his story, meaning Shawn’s character, belongs to my friend Mel, who i’ve lost contact with. When i was last writing him in a RPG i used korean actor Kim Bum for his faceclaim, and i still like to reference his pictures, look him up and you’ll see what i mean with Finn looking younger with shorter hair.

NAME/NICKNAME: Wendell Theodore Parker / Teddy

AGE/BIRTHDAY: 19 years / 23.09.

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: British / Caucasian (or whatever the god side counts as)

BASED ON: originally comes from a Percy Jackson RPG

GENDER/SEXUALITY: Cis Male / gay

FAMILY: FATHER | Julien Samuel Parker | 45 years | cardiologist

MOTHER | Demeter | goddess of harvest, agriculture & fertility of the earth

STEPMOTHER | Katherine Marie Parker | 44 years | lector

HALF-BROTHER | Bradley Howard Parker | 24 years | author (alias J. B. Baxter)

HALF-SISTER | Amanda Carrie Parker | 20 years | student of cultural sciences

+ a shitton of half-siblings on Demeter’s side

FRIENDS: Rufus Whitmore | 19 years | Son of Apollo | Actually Zeke’s best friend and No. 1 in the ‘kick Zeke in the ass to make him stand by his feelings club’ which is why Teddy is phenomally thankful for the support. Maybe due to his dad Rufus generally has a very healing, hardworking and good-natured personality, though combined with a bit of a superiority complex.

Caspar Renier | 19 years | Son of Dyonisus | With Dyonisus practically being the party god and all Caspar is very much the agent of chaos in Teddy’s life. He lives for experiencing new and exciting things and likes to incite the same in others. While Teddy loves all things safe, Caspar brings the risk, but somehow the two manage not to annoy each other, but to balance things out. Caspar is Teddy’s best friend since the early days of the academy and reason for many good things that Teddy would have otherwise been too timid about.

Riley O’Donovan | 20 years | Son of Ares | Basically Teddy’s arch nemesis since the early academy days. For some reason he has decided that Teddy was just the right person to push around and pick on, supported by his twin and another half-brother. Teddy, being the pacifist that he is, and generally trying to avoid confrontation, did his best to stay out of their ways, telling himself that fighting back would only make them fight harder. Teddy was with them when the academy was attacked and Riley’s brothers died. Together they fought and survived. At their next meeting they quietly recognized that the experience had connected them and to let bygones be bygones. They are developing an akward friendship with lots of guilt and grief, that’s mostly consistent of helping each other out and, weirdly enough, unquestionable trust through shared trauma.

S.O.: Zeke... i don’t remember his surname, since Teddy is a RPG character he is obviously another person’s character, i’ll try to think back on more info. As a Hermes son he is the charming wayfarer type person, with a guitar on his back and a taste for freedom, i believe he was a year older than Teddy. The relationship is rocky at best and Teddy feels unloved most of the time but his intense feelings for Zeke make him want to hold on and hope for the better just for a little while longer.

OCCUPATION: Student

ABILITIES: [supernatural] control over plants and weather in the immediate vicinity, too much use of his abilities quickly causes hunger, headaches, nausea & exhaustion | an integral instinct about the beginning and natural end of lives, when he concentrates he can tell a person’s age, or if they are close to the end of their lives in case of a natural death. he chooses not to use this ability | his control of plants is quite trained, changes in the weather are mostly out of his control & follow violent mood swings. They show themselves as changes in temperature in his immediate vicinity

[other] low abilities in sword fighting (he shows little motivation because of his pacifistic nature, but has good instinct when it is necessary), slightly better at archery & hand to hand combat, good at riding & general animal handling

INTERESTS: monsters, he has an affinity for anything monstrous and creepy, in fiction & reality, as a unusual choice for Demeter children he wants to work with monsters in some capacity in the future | animals | plants

APPEARANCE: unkempt wavy to curly blonde hair in various states of darker blonde to bleached to grown out color, darker blue/green eyes, 5′10″, cycles through being slightly underweight & healthier depending on his mental state, his clothing style has no apparent rhyme or reason and consists of anything he likes, mostly color- & youthful, wears a leather necklace with a coin pendant at all times. he chooses to be mostly clean shaven, but has a surprisingly strong beard growth

PLOTPOINTS: born, officially, as the 3rd child of the parker family based in Canterbury, happily growing up in a loving upper to middle class family | only trouble so far is the inability to sit still and concentrate on school classes | with 14 he learns of his true nature and the world of gods & demigods | spirals into thoughts of being an outcast and disruptive in his family, considering his father’s infidelity and his ‘mother’s’ will to live with her husband’s illegitimate child | decides to run away after witnessing a fight between his parents while on vacation in America | gets picked up by Zeke, another runaway child, and as it happens another demigod | after sharing their stories Zeke reunites Wendell with his family against his will, Teddy initially resents him for it | the family reconciles, Wendell’s ‘mother’ confirms how much she sees him as her own son | Teddy starts to visit Gaia Academy during his regular school holidays, where demigods get educated and trained according to their special circumstances eg. myths, monster attacks & magical abilities | his brother begins to write about a fictional character based on Teddy’s life and has success with a series of children’s books | reconciliation & later close friendship with Zeke | big homesickness | a bad first romantic/sexual experience, the adjustment to the world of myths & the stress of constant change between regular school & academy life leads to an overwhelming sense of loss of control, which results in an eating disorder that he learns to control via therapy and his family’s support | dreams of becoming a monster herdsman despite his lack in battle prowess due to his strict pacifistic beliefs | is bullied by 3 Ares sons during most of his time at Gaia | gets in the awkward situation of falling in love with his close friend and self-proclaimed heterosexual Zeke, feels the situation is too hopeless and the friendship too precious to do anything about it | pines for years | drunkenly kisses Zeke after receiving a thoughtful birthday gift (aforementioned necklace) | panics about said kiss after Zeke steers clear of him for the rest of the week | turns out Zeke just had a whole week of gay panic™ and needed some time to come to terms with maybe possibly being in love with a guy despite not usually being attracted to men | Zeke confesses & agrees to a relationship | the thing is messy, with lots of sneaking around and no pda, even in private, allowed as Zeke struggles with a religious upbringing and acceptance of his new identity | as a whole Teddy deals poorly with this behavior but endures for the chance of being with his hopeless yearlong never gonna happen crush | meanwhile the world of the demigods is in chaos with wars between different pro- and anti-god-fractions | when an anti-god-organization attacks the academy, Teddy is forced to fight and kill to survive next to his longtime bullies | he & his loved ones survive but afterwards he is not only traumatized by his own actions and the things he has seen, but also the fact that he of all people survived while better fighters died | while the academy reorganizes itself he spends time at home and struggles with the discrepancy between his vs his family’s experiences and not being able to share what happened with a medical professional to work through his trauma | disillusioned he decides it is time for him to mature, when the academy reopens at a new location he dedicates himself to more battle training and after reconciling with the one surviving bully through their shared experience even asks the ares son for personal training

BONUS INFO: Oh, Teddy boy! He also went through several RPGs and rewrites. The first one was a pretty basic Percy Jackson RPG, with Camp Halfblood and all. In that version Teddy was a child of Hebe, and chose to leave his home in one of the many Springfields in America for the safety of his family, since monster attacks suddenly started happening. On his way to the Camp he met Zeke, they had a little road trip and fought their way to their destination. It was a lovely story of hurt/comfort with Teddy being helplessly lost and scared and Zeke taking care of him. An unlikely team that strangely worked out. The whole runaway thing in his current story might not make a lot of sense, but it was our way of incorporating the original runaway/road trip story that was near and dear to our hearts. I’m not sure why i ended up making him a brit when we switched forums, maybe because i missed British Shawn and had to make up for it. The new RPG obviously had a lot of changes on the Percy Jackson Story, it was just inspired by the idea of demigod children but that was about it. Again, since Zeke is not my character i am hesitant to work with this, also i would like to make the setting more original, though i guess there’s only so much you can do with demigods, maybe creating an entirely new pantheon idk. That’s the problem with RPG characters i suppose, they are rarely uninfluenced from other people’s creations, and often based on preexisting works, but i refuse to give up on him. When i first created him i had Boyd Holbrook in mind. (Which is very fun considering his look in Logan, i imagine later Teddy to look like that and what a big fucking ooc contrast that would be to him rn.) Here is an avatar that captures the Teddy feel during the original road trip very well, bonus the matching Zeke ava (obviously portrayed by Jackson Rathbone), bonus bonus a Rufus ava, ft. Aaron Taylor-Johnson:

NAME/NICKNAME: Avery Sanders / Ace of Spades (a sort of artist’s name), Ace

AGE/BIRTHDAY: 22 years / 15.05.

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: American / Caucasian? (or whatever, the god thing, plus he does not know his dad)

BASED ON: said Percy Jackson inspired RPG

GENDER/SEXUALITY: Cis male / asexual (/ poly/panromantic?? he does not know either or really care honestly it’s all just whatever)

FAMILY: FATHER | Michael Hide | deceased

MOTHER | Nyx | goddess of the night, daughter of chaos

HALFBROTHER/LEGAL GUARDIAN | Dale Sanders | 42 years | ?? occupation: lying bastard weasel?? | Their relationship sure is something. In short Ace IDOLIZES his brother big time, though he would never say those words out loud but it is very fucking clear to everyone. He is like a miniature Dale, or trying to be, or trying to surpass him. This makes the last developments in Ace’s story very very complicated. He’s still kinda brainwashed enough that he’s still holding on to the hope that he’s just not informed enough to understand his brother’s motives.

FRIENDS: Benedict Bovine | 21 years | Son of Morpheus | Ben & Ace were roommates in the academy, and no friends for a long time. The Morpheus son was just too much for him, too happy, too optimistic, too intrusive, too annoying. But that’s probably exactly the personality you have to have to stick with Ace and not give up on actually truly befriending him. Somewhere along the way they ended up being best friends which Ace is secretly desperately clinging to because not too many people bother with trying to get close to him even with him being actively unapproachable. Ben has gained a special status in his life and therefore special treatment, namely experiencing Ace’s more positive characteristics and rare insights behind the mask.

Elisabeth Fendi | 22 years | Daughter of Nike | As a Nike daughter she likes challenges, and befriending or even dating Ace certainly is just that. But she had positive reinforcement by looking at Ben’s & Ace’s relationship and knew the goal was achievable. Long story short Ace lost a bet and had to go out with her, and actually kinda enjoyed her ambitious, competitive nature. She whittled him down to becoming friends at least. They certainly do not treat each other overly tender, but that suits both of their nature’s just fine. Elisabeth just kinda started hanging around Ace & Ben and the three are now sticking together.

S.O.: Well not sure actually, there was one version of the Story where Ace dated a girl named Liz, and Elisabeth certainly has some of her characteristics. But it definitely occurred to me that Ace himself has no desire to actually pursue a romantic or sexual relationship of any kind, but has no problem having sex if it just happens to happen. In another version of the story Ben, Ellie & Ace end up having a threesome under somewhat dramatic circumstances and i’ve been playing with the idea of both Ben & Ellie looking to enter a polyamorous relationship with Ace and him just kinda going along with it cause it’s whatever to him and he loves and trusts them and likes being close to them so it’s not a huge difference to him anyways.. which would just be Ace clumsily trying to show his genuine feelings for once and learning how to express affection, both physically & romantically and probably failing a lot. I think i’m sticking with it but i’m not sure about the circumstances yet.

OCCUPATION: Student

CHARACTER: callous | unimpressed & unfazed | has built up a pretty impenetrable unapproachable wall & layers of alter-egos before anyone can end up actually getting to know HIM | lone wolf | slightly misanthropic traits | paranoid & suspicious | fake superiority complex, talks himself into feeling superior to cover up insecurities | cool | hardy | streetwise | casual, mostly outwards to reaffirm his cool, relaxed persona | stoic pokerface | disrespectful unless respect is earned (mostly through undeniable talent in skills he considers worthy) | rebellious, tactless, provoking | trouble with authority figures | might not show his emotions but has no trouble speaking his mind even in unhelpful ways | critical, towards himself and others, actively looks for flaws | show-off | willing to learn & commit himself to bettering his abilities at all times | proud (of his abilities and his reputation) | long-sighted, analytical & strategic thinking | intuitive | resourceful | has talent to lead but decides not to, does not want responsibility over the actions of others | keeps his word always, to a fault, even when joking | persistent | humorous, ironic & sarcastic | underneath his fake persona actually awfully sincere, it just takes time to get there | pathologically loyal | protective, self-sacrificing & caring towards close friends | despite everything and unbeknownst to himself actually undeniably morally good & heroic

ABILITIES: [supernatural] control over shadows | sensing nightmares | Ace is rather trained in hiding in or concealing his movements with shadows, depending on the time of day and the contrast in shadows he can completely hide his presence, the later it gets in the day the easier it is. The control over seeing other people’s fears and nightmares on the other hand is completely out of his hand, it usually happens against his will and leaves him with an aftertaste of said fear that he then carries around for a couple of days.

[other] excellent speed & sword fighting | years of hellish training with his brother have left Ace with an uncanny reaction speed and instinct towards incoming danger, his battle prowess has led to many monster encounters that at this point are neither hard nor surprising.. and honestly kinda fun | musical talent | Ace has lost his heart to electronical music and uses much of his free time to create his own tracks under the pseudonym Ace of Spades. They are mostly rap & electronic mash ups and remixes of popular songs with his personal spin added to them | composure | at any given time Ace has trained himself to stay calm and not show his feelings, so much that at this point he can hardly stop it, which leads to many frustrated people in his life who constantly have to guess what he’s feeling or if he’s even feeling anything at all. It has also made him a practically unbeatable poker player

INTERESTS: music | big city life | close quarter combat | technical gadgets esp. for creating music | challenges | irony | birds | movies & games & writing reviews | dumb irony, he lives for it, he has picked the elective prophecy class that is meant for the demigod children that actually have some sort of fortune telling ability, just because he thinks it is funny to sit between these actually clairvoyant people as a clearly non-gifted person trying to read something in tea leaves or whatever that has no reason to be true, he goes very long ways for stupid jokes & stories that might end up amusing just himself

APPEARANCE: light blonde hair cut into a buzz cut for convenience, almond shaped light blue/grey eyes, with his 5′8″ a little under average height with a broad build, average weight, his athleticism is countered by bad eating habits and most of his hobbies consisting of siting around for an extended amount of time, almost perpetually wearing a pair of ray-ban sunglasses (he’s light sensitive and likes to hide his eye-movements, but also just thinks it’s cool, as an added bonus it seems to provoke people), his clothing is mostly athletic and casual but he also enjoys throwing people off with unusual pieces, often seen with baseball-caps front or backwards facing, generally not a lot of effort put into his appearance aside from maybe considering what would make the look ironic, also owed to lack of money, lots of his clothes are worn out hand me downs from his brother peppered with the weird shit you can get at thrift stores

PLOTPOINTS: Since his father died while his mother was pregnant she had to improvise and ended up leaving the baby at one of her other son’s doorsteps | Dale, probably rather incompetently, improvised and with lots of peculiar quirks, raises the kid in a tiny, rundown Chicago apartment supporting both of them with occasional part-time jobs | With his knowledge of the world of the gods Dale decides to prepare his half-brother early | Once he learns that that is not normal Ace spends some time worrying about his brothers sanity, regarding the unusual habit of teaching a kid sword fighting and testing his abilities with surprise attacks, but enjoys himself too much to question it (he never thinks about that the constant vigilance and dedicated training might be considered somewhat abusive living conditions for a child - might not have been healthy but it DID make him stronger and that was surely a good thing Dale had in mind, very normal, totally okay.. he is incapable of seeing, or wanting to admit to his brother’s flaws) | They live off fast-food or anything they can get their hands on, with occasional unpaid electricity bills or similar poor conditions, but with a strong sense of solidarity | School was not his favorite thing, he had to get out of his - in his eyes - fun unusual living conditions to sit still and be well behaved and listen to weird stiff adults, and the children made fun of his ragged clothing and general otherness | Spends his free time exploring Chicago, roaming the streets, getting into minor trouble here and there, or with his brother, fighting or watching him make music or play around with electronics, or watching movies, playing games | As is tradition, learns he is a demigod with 14 which honestly does not really come as a huge surprise to him, at least his brother did not turn out to be some weird doomsday nutjob and had a reason for all the sword fighting | Gets kinda excited in hopes of getting along better with other demigods than he did with the other human students.. turns out him being a demigod was not the problem in the first place. Does at least find some like-minded people in his half-siblings. | At home he starts part-time jobs to support his brother, starts making music himself, has several blogs with movie and game reviews, and of course the usual duels between him and Dale, which he never once wins | After graduating regular school with 19 he is not very motivated to continue his training at the academy, but is basically tricked into finishing it anyways, by his brother suggesting he would win this one since he himself has never graduated Gaia. At last, something to be better at than his brother! | When the academy is attacked by an anti-god-organization Ace fights easily and competently.. till he is faced with fighting the one person he has never beaten, his brother. He fights him anyways, conflicted by the feeling of betrayal and sheer disbelief that this could actually be happening. Naturally he loses and ends up skewered through his torso by his brothers sword. When he is unconscious he gets saved and healed by Apollo children, and the fight is over when he wakes up again. He first of all tries to find out if his brother was maybe captured or killed, but finds no trace of him. | When he returns home while the academy reorganizes he finds the apartment empty, half hoping for his brother to come home so he can confront him, his top priority being to learn why his brother has been acting that way because he still refuses to believe that he actually tried to kill him, and rather wants to think that Dale must have had SOME kind of reason that would make all of this okay. | Dale never returns. Ace bitterly sells all of Dale’s belongings to pay for the bills of the apartment that he is suddenly sitting on all by himself, which makes his home very sad and very empty | Ellie and Ben visit him, well aware that Ace’s entire worldview has been shattered and not trusting him not to do something reckless [enter possible threesome here?] | Ace starts to obsessively try to find out about Dales whereabouts and the group he was working with, both Ellie and Ben being annoyed and worried about him doing this on his own refusing any help or interference | Ace manages to find what he believes to be a temporary hideout for the organisation and some documents that he hopes to find further clues in | When the Academy re-opens Ellie & Ben convince him to go back there, with Ace secretly just hoping to hear more about the official measures of the demigod world that have been put in place to find and stop the organization | He shares the found information with what is basically the equivalent of the police in the demigod world, and exclaims to be eager and capable to join any deployment, but is of course refused | Instead he silently plans to take off on his own again, hoping to find his brother for answers or revenge, depending on the outcome

Okay, but here’s the FUN part of the whole story, something that Ace is not even aware of anymore: When he is 18 he finds out about his brothers activity in the anti-god organization (their name is rubicon by the way) and is as always immediately willing to copy his brother and join them, regardless of their shady morals. Thing is, they have a selection process where they have an oracle check potential candidates, turns out the oracle decides that Ace’s heart is just too good and pure in the end to make him an effective member. They alter his memories, fill them with a normal summer of an 18 year old Ace, and send him back home none the wiser that he would have absolutely done the exact same things he found so impossible for his brother to be doing that it ruined his entire conception of the world. Fun. I hope he does not find out.

BONUS INFO: I cannot begin to describe how funny it is to read Ace’s character sheet. Sounds conceited maybe, but every time i reread it, which is maybe once every couple of years, i make myself cry from amusement. It’s so stupid. It is completely written in his voice and it is fucking hysterical, he is such an idiot wow. His vita starts with a rewrite of Will Smith’s Prince of Belair rap, and that’s just the beginning. I wish i could show you but it’s in German so that’s probably useless for most of you. But please know that i really fucking love it and am amazed that i wrote that at some point. I always had trouble figuring out how i want him to look. I believe i used Garrett Hedlund as a faceclaim on the RPG site, but it was not 100% fitting. Dacre Montgomery’s portrayal of Billy in Stranger Things has some Ace vibes, but also not entirely. Imagine their lovechild i guess. I also never planned on him being asexual, the connection to his name was not planned at all, it just hit me a couple of months ago out of nowhere and i immediately knew it was true. Of course he is asexual!! Also i have not yet decided whether his brother is an absolute cold bastard, or if Ace’s instincts about him having reasons are right. Regardless, Dale’s treatment of Ace is not okay from the very beginning. That’s where this whole story started, cause i found it so interesting for the idealized bigger brother that just seems to be cool and fun to actually be somewhat or very much abusive, e.g. Dave & Bro Strider in Homestuck who were very much the stepping stone here. I really liked Bro when i first read it as a baby teen, and then later saw the discourse over him being abusive, and only then did i realize shit you’re right in actual real life that stuff would be ptsd inducing wow, in that very moment i myself was Ace and had my weird idealized image shattered, so i wanted to make a character that could show how easily it is to overlook this stuff sometimes. Also totally just forgot for a while how sad a lot of his character is, ppl did not like him even before he made himself hard to be liked so he’s very distrusting and negative towards people for a long time.😥 Better make up a weird persona for people to dislike at least they’re not disliking my actual self cause they never actually get to see it. WHELP most of my other characters are either fun or tragic depending on the situation, Ace is just both simultaneously at all times

FAMILY: FATHER | ? ? | 42 years | multibillionaire business man / sociopath criminal | their relationship can very much be described as a hostage situation, there is nothing pleasant here, his father obsesses over his legacy and the idea of what he wants Asher to be and Asher resents him with a burning passion

MOTHER | ? ? | 41 years | unfortunate trophy wife | there is not much of an actual relationship here, since he started art school they have pretty much not talked a single word, he resents her for being distant and quiet and complicit in his father’s behavior

SISTER | Claire ? | 22 years | various creative part time jobs | the one that luckily got away!! Claire dodged a major bullet and got out of there as soon as she could, living her dream as a independent artist in various fields from writing plays to performance art, Asher adores her & would never tell her about the truth of his situation since she got out of there unscathed, they call each other regularly, but don’t see each other as much as they would like to, she is a big reason for his own interest in art

SISTER | Stella ? | 5 years | Kindergartener | Stella is loud and quick and knows no boundaries, a happy energetic little girl. Asher probably spoils her.

BROTHER | Leo ? | 5 years | Kindergartener | Stella’s twin brother but the polar opposite. Timid, soft-spoken and kindhearted. Asher probably spoils him too. Asher is also fiercely overprotective in regards to his brother, cause he knows how his father likes to treat his sons. Luckily he also knows that his father would takes his sweet time before revealing his true self, but he dreads the possibility of his father involving his brother earlier nonetheless.

FRIENDS: May ? | 21 years | photography student | awfully loyal, May comes from a rich family herself and can therefore understand or excuse a lot of Asher’s less pleasant traits, she is too stubborn to let him push her away and is glad he has mostly given up towards her, now she just has to get him to treat others the same way. knows he has troubles with his father, but does not know the specifics since Asher would rather take that info to his grave to protect her. is worried, always, since Adam disappeared, but has no other solution but soft encouragement for Asher to move on

S.O.: Devin ? | 20 years | animation student | Half Mexican/Half Afro-American. Anxiety kid, moves to his father’s new family & his sister because they live closer to his future art school, falls in love with the wrong white boy. Big nerd, big introvert, all about anime & games, spends more time on the internet than anywhere else (sound familiar anybody?🙈). Romanticizes the wrong behaviors. Draws, a lot, any given time, super talented, Asher envies him. Big cuddly, kind, somewhat shy and self-conscious, cannot say no or be mean most of the time. Just 100% good soul. Shows Asher the wonderful world of fiction and other entertainment cause that guy apparently grew up in a cave. Asher is 100% hurt and Devin is 100% comfort, Asher feels bad about that. Devin is impressively patient and supportive and the sole reason Asher can breathe again. Sometimes. Asher does not know what he could possibly be bringing to the table but Devin seems content, Asher does not understand why.

OCCUPATION: Student of Photography/Economics Night school

CHARACTER: i feel like Asher needs two separate character descriptions since he’s living in extreme circumstances that have greatly changed his characteristics over the course of a year or two, but i’m sticking with Asher today, just know that he used to be happy, carefree, outgoing, a huge charmer, even a flirt, remnants of some of these more positive traits can still be found if you catch him in the right moment.. and then there’s the things he mostly pretends to be that don’t really belong there either, but i guess that shows how others perceive him

ABILITIES: His father’s irrevocable antiquated notion of how a person of his status has to be educated resulted in a flashflood of tutors from the moment Asher was capable of learning things, involving classical music, several languages, riding, sailing, debating and the more exceptional choices of self-defense through various ways including knife and gun handling, owed to his father’s choice of a rather dangerous lifestyle. The only ability that grew out of his own interests is anything regarding photography. He also has the uncanny ability to switch personas in an instant, he can go from cold asshole to so charming that it puts others at ease, to collected proud superior son in a second, depending on what is needed, these different modes are crucial for his survival.

APPEARANCE: Groomed snobby rich boy that looks down on you. Black hair, pale blue eyes, 6′0″ tall, lean. Judging by his clothes alone obviously wealthy. Mostly somewhat sophisticated with lots of dress shirts and classy cuts. A serious young man! Contrasted by more relaxed clothing choices in his personal space. Mostly black & darker colors. Tattoo of a dead raven on the inside of his right underarm, he hides it in front of his father who hates it. Unquestionably a pretty boy™ but Asher has grown to detest his looks, avoiding mirrors or photographs. He looks too much like his father. Has dimples if he smiles brightly but nobody gets to see them anymore.

PLOTPOINTS: The most entertaining way to start the story is probably through Devin’s POV, and then explaining Asher’s behavior with his life story. Very quickly: Devin, moving to his father to visit the art school in an nearby town, is searching for a new therapist he had been visiting for social anxiety, through a work connection his father organizes an appointment with an prestigious therapist before the schoolyear starts. He gets curious about this well dressed tense looking guy he sometimes meets in the waiting room, and starts to hope to see him more often, but never manages to work up the courage to say anything, till one day the guy storms in mid breakdown to interrupt Devin’s session and demands that the therapist had to see him immediately. Devin uses the opportunity to get his attention for once and earn some bonus points, graciously offering him his session. He even gets a thanks later when they meet at the pharmacy, so he’s happy, and hopelessly crushing on this dude. With help of his sister he figures out that the guy is actually local celebrity, billionaire son Asher, that just happens to visit the very same art school Devin will be visiting soon. So Devin very much looks forward to that and spends lots of time daydreaming about getting together with Asher, who actually kinda seems pleasantly surprised to see him again in the school setting. Asher is distant, but friendly at first, and thanks to Asher’s friend May who is welcoming and inviting in Asher’s stead, Devin somehow luckily gets roped up into the group that sometimes hangs out with Asher, with him graciously paying for any expenses. Devin manages to overlook Asher’s more unpleasant sides, willfully focusing on the good stuff instead, not wanting to give up on his little fantasy just yet, with Asher warning that he would and should come to hate him eventually. What follows is a wild up and down of Asher either being sweet or an complete asshole and Devin being thoroughly confused yet intrigued, the guy is obviously troubled, often leaving class early in a panic or not showing up at all and generally looking like a nervous mess on some days, which just makes Devin want to get behind the reason for everything. On one of the sweeter nights he manages to get a kiss out of Asher, only for him to show his cruelest behavior yet the following days, either ignoring him completely or reacting aggressively. [Cue Asher’s Story:]

Born in a cozy coast town to a filthy rich family. | Firstborn son therefore in his old-fashioned madman of a father’s brain his legitimate heir, instead of his two years older daughter (lucky her tho) | Father puts every breath of his being into grooming Asher to be his successor, which includes high pressure, expectations and next to no free time from an early age. No failure allowed. Knowing nothing but this high pressure environment Asher just complies and honestly somewhat enjoys putting maximum effort into things to please his father and his own ego. | Somewhat sheltered upbringing due to wealth & little free-time | Easy time in private elementary school where a lot of pre-existing effort lets him relax a little more. He makes a row of superficial friends, but still spends most of his time studying, only socializing when socially expected. | Still very success-oriented in high school, but learns to relax a little more around newly made friends of less stressful backgrounds. | Gradually without really realizing when it began ends up in a relationship with lower upper class boy Adam, they later discuss and decide they started dating somewhere around age 15. | The relationship is accepted and free-time allowed as long as Asher continues to perform exceptionally well in everything. | Both boys share their love for art, while Asher starts getting interested in photography, Adam focuses on painting, both inspired by and potentially aiming to later visit the prestigious art school in their hometown | The twins are born! Asher is instantly smitten with the little creatures and proceeds to be a loving brother | Asher’s father starts to take him to business meetings and other professional settings as insight into his later life as his father’s successor. | Asher, most likely not unaffected by his wealth & prominence of his family, has some successful exhibitions of his photographs and gains a small amount of recognition in the art world. He decides to pursue the profession full-time in the future, not entirely revealing the decision to his father just yet, who lets him play around with his hobby as long as he brings home achievements in that area as well | goes into prolonged discussions with his father regarding his wish to study photography, who eventually caves under the condition of Asher simultaneously visiting business classes on weekends or in the evening | Both Asher and Adam get admitted to the art school (it needs a fancy name i just dont have one yet) and study there after their graduation from high school | The meetings Asher’s father brings him to start to kinda rub Asher the wrong way, as some criminal elements get revealed, his father’s comment being that it was time for him to learn about these essential things as well. Asher is morally appalled, but has not even begun to realize the extent of his father’s criminal activities, to which he begins to introduce him more and more in the following years. | Asher eventually fully understands that his father is head of a self-built mafia-like organization that seems to reach most of America in some way, and that that is the true succession his father is grooming him for. While Asher might be able to agree with some of these duties, he soon realizes that most of what his father is expecting him to do from now on are things Asher is not willing to do under any circumstances, like brutally punishing people for offenses against the family in varying ways, that Ashers father insists on carrying out personally to further his ruthless reputation and control over his underlings, partners or rivals. | For the first time in his life he fails to meet his father’s expectations and actively goes against orders which results in his father pressuring him in any way he can. When Adam suddenly disappears without a trace when Asher is 18 he immediately has the uneasy feeling that his father was involved, he did not however anticipate his father actually truly murdering his son’s boyfriend to set an example of what happens when Asher disobeys. | Asher has a complete breakdown, spends some time at a mental health facility, and comes to the decision to tell everything to the police, only to have them call his father and have him pick him up. Further tries to tell any authority about what happened end in similar ways, his father seemingly having control over everything or always being one step ahead. Eventually he threatens Asher that if he continues, he would have him convicted of Adam’s murder, having plenty of psychiatrists to falsely attest to his guilt. Asher refrains from trying to out his father, half because he was scared of the consequences, half because if he truly would go to prison - which at this point did not eve sound bad to him - his father would most likely just shift his attention to his younger brother instead, which ends up as the main intervention to Asher being able to escape the situation in any way. | From now on Asher spends his time terrified and traumatized, trying his best to please his father in ways that do not include physically harming other people. At the same time he starts violently pushing every friend or acquaintance away, to make sure his father would not find another person to use as motivator and punishment. May being the only remnant of his former friend group that refuses to leave his side despite him lashing out against her here and there in hopes for her to finally get it and leave him alone. | A year later there’s this black guy about his age that apparently has the same therapist and ends up in the same class at school and is genuinely nice to him without asking for something in return which hasn’t happened in a while and feels so nice he forgets himself and gets carried away, being nice right back, and unfortunately can’t help himself having lapses in his self-control towards this guy over and over again, cause he’s just so kind and warm and welcoming, and it feels so so nice, but instantly regretting it as Devin gets clingier and bolder, but still not being able to stop entirely, till he stupidly kisses him one night and immediately has nightmares of his father murdering Devin, which allows him to draw the line and finally be as repulsive towards the guy as he should have been from the beginning. I have various potential scenarios in mind for the following but they mostly go like this: Devin, trying to figure out why Asher is like THAT, learns about his long-time boyfriend disappearing last year and never being found, with the police claiming there were signs of him just running away to a bigger city, but Asher and Adam’s family believing that something must have happened to him. He deduces that Asher has developed a massive fear of abandonment (which in a way is true but way understated) which is why he keeps pushing him away when he gets too close. When he confronts Asher he just gets furious at the mention of Adam and eventually gets so worked up that he starts talking about Devin not understanding ANYTHING and that he has no idea in what kind of situation he could end up in when he sticks too close and that he should just fuck off, but Devin naturally just picks up on the weird shit and Asher sounding increasingly scared, so he keeps poking at the topic till Asher finally breaks down and tells him that his father is basically a sociopathic criminal mass-murderer and being Asher’s friend let alone boyfriend paints a big fucking target, and then he just ends up having to explain the entire situation in hope that Devin learns and just stays quiet but most of all stays the fuck away. Long story short: he doesn’t. He vows not to leave Asher alone with this any longer, and now that he knows that Asher actually likes him there’s no way he would stay away anyways. Asher still very much tries to convince the other one to leave him be, but to no avail. The rest is them finding an arrangement that works out with lots of secrecy and sneaking around and pretending to not even know each other (more or less successful), Asher panicking a lot, and dealing with a shitton of guilt, but kinda learning to live again and not just function miserably, and them trying to find a solution to Asher’s problem that does not involve people potentially dying, and Asher just dreading the next time his father calls him in and what he might expect him to do then. I have more plot points planned out but i’m just gonna keep them for myself for now. 😋

BONUS INFO: First i gotta say Asher is very much a character i created to cope with stuff when i was feeling really fucking low last fall. I made a character that’s hanging on by a thread, because i was, so i could at least use these feelings for more lifelike daydreams and give them more of a purpose and direction. The initial idea that sparked the storyline was a person falling in love with a clearly unwise choice, which ended up being Devin crushing on the dude having a mental breakdown at the therapist’s office (genius boy). Somewhere along the line the main character shifted to Asher because of the aforementioned reasons. Devin’s POV is probably really more entertaining though, since he gets to unfold all the mysteries that Asher is keeping from him. Inspirations? Uhm, i guess Life is Strange (a mixture of Nathan & the Prof, and the art school setting), the general John Wick world and Veronica’s family in Riverdale, god also laurel’s family in htgawm

So uhhhh I drew a lot of RWBY this year... only two of these are non RWBY and tbh I could have just as easily put something RWBY for June Template

Retrospective under the cut bc it’s LONG

RETROSPECTIVE January: First piece of the year! I still like this piece and I think it shows how much I improved from the original version of it. Also I just like looking at it bc it's soft content of my rare pair. I do think I made the rose look photorealistic which looks... bad esp with all the other more stylized flowers, and I got lazy with the bleeding hearts by just drawing one set and flipping them. Emerald's hair also could look better. February: I made this around GNG week, which was a fun, good time, long before the server imploded on itself. I got really lazy with the backgrounds, obviously, but I do like the poses in this one, tho it helped that I based it off of screenshots from Young Justice. I also just really like how Merc looks in this one. March: March wasn't a very prolific month for art, I don't think I produced much besides this and one comic piece for GNG week. I'm not sure why exactly, I can't find any specific reason why I would be unproductive that month. I'm gonna just assume I was drained from work all the time and didn't have the energy to put out good art, and also I was getting into a slump bc all my art was starting to look same-y. This piece isn't very good, but I chose it because I did it without a reference, and at this point that was going out of my comfort zone. It's obviously not super dynamic, but at the very least you can tell I intended there to be motion to it. April: This also wasn't a very prolific month for art, not as bad as March, but for the same reasons. I was also really starting to feel burnout from the RWBY fandom, specifically wasps and conflict within the GNG server. This was also when the Art vs the Artist meme was popular, and I realized I didn't want to do that meme because my art was too similar and boring, which also brought me down a peg. Though I put out a few good chibis in April, I chose my Mercury redesign bc I was really proud of it. I could never get the Emerald redesign to mesh quite right, but I can say I'm really proud of how Mercury's came out. May: May had me bounce out of my art slump and in full force trying to expand my skills! Specifically exploring painting. Although May was about as prolific as April, what I did create I put a lot into. It was difficult to pick between this and my app of Edison, because I'm really proud of both, but in the end I went with this commission of Mercury because I pushed myself to try and use an interesting perspective for the piece instead of my usual stand still and face the camera pose. Because I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, this was one of the best things I made all year, and may be my favorite piece of the year. June: TIME TO STRESS OUT ABOUT CONNECTICON! So if you follow me on twitter, you might have noticed I made a lot of posts at the beginning of the year low key throwing shade at myself for drawing my oc's instead of more "important" art. Well, that important art that I was procrastinating was con merch, and con was the second week of July, so I really had to get my ass in gear to finish merch on time (spoiler, I didn't finish a lot of it on time). This piece and July's piece are both posters I made for Connecticon, and while I like July's much better, that doesn't mean I find this piece bad. I really should have known that no one at con would realize it was a goonies reference tho -_-; I also lost a lot of love for this piece after season 6 of Voltron, which I watched while I was about 60% of the way through this piece, so I had to force myself to finish it. July: I love this piece!!!! Don't get me wrong, I know it has flaws, but look at it! The lines are so crisp, the colors look good, Roman and Merc's expressions are mwuah chefs kiss, and I just love all of them!!! ... except for Neo. I really didn't do her justice in this piece, her hair is too fluffy, her head is way to oversized to the point that she looks like a bobblehead, and her eyes are too close together. Really if you take out Neo's head that whole problem goes away. I also love all the tiny details I put in this one, from emerald's chaps to roman's rose to Neo's lace parasol. You can tell I was way more passionate about this piece than I was about the Voltron piece. August: pretty sure this is when I quit my job cashiering, and thank god bc customers suck. If I was going off of sheer popularity, Chibi Pyrrha would have taken this slot no contest, and while I love chibi Pyrrha, I don't think it was the best of the month. I chose this little princess and the pauper au doodle because I tried a year ago to draw these two dancing, and it looked like dog shit. It was flat and ugly. But this has motion to it, and even looking at it now makes me feel warm and happy inside. It's just a good cute drawing of my otp. September: My piece for the RWBY tarot project! I have a lot of mixed emotions about this one. on the one hand, I love how mercury looks, his expression, the lighting, the visceral gore from his legs (ESPECIALLY THE VISCERAL GORE ON HIS LEGS) and the hands of the undead, all look stunning and I don't think I could be more happy with how they turned out. And then we get to the background. The caduceus isn't the worst thing ever, but it's severely lacking in quality compared to the rendering on mercury in front of it, and a lot of it is clearly pixellated from me trying to stretch and squash it just right. And the fire is a hot (no pun intended) mess. It's flat, incoherent, and doesn't lead the eye anywhere. It's a shame too because I wanted to do more with it, but I a) didn't have enough time or patience to figure out what I needed to do to fix it and b) didn't want to go outside of my comfort level, so I gave up and decided to be satisfied with what I had. October: October was another good month for art, I made a turnaround sheet for Moss, painted a full body (and slightly lewd) Rudy, and made a decent attempt at inktober. Ok, so I got like 2 days in, but I improved a lot on inking from last year! Fun fact! this piece was originally going to be fan art of Lindsay Jones, but after I did some thumbnails to figure out a pose, I thought it would suit White Diamond better, and I could also sell it as merch. I love this piece. I think I captured the sinister mood well, and conveyed the story I wanted to without any dialogue (at least the notes on Tumblr make me assume I did a decent job, lotta people really wigged out lol) I really worked hard to get the lighting right on this one, and I think it shows. My absolutely favorite thing about this piece funnily enough, is Amethyst. I think I just did a great job drawing her and I'm proud of myself ok. Stevens bubble and my trouble figuring out how to get WD's leg just right are the only things that I dislike about this piece, but I might go back and fix those. November: IM SO PROUD OF THIS COMMISSION!!!!!! I worked so god damn hard on this chef's kiss poifect, and it really shows. I started using a new brush at this point, the Ojing series on Clip Studio Paint, which I recommend and have been using a lot since. I've also been using this shading technique since drawing this. I love how it sort of fades out but it's still really crisp. I also love all the little details that give this piece character, like her shoes and the stripes on her jacket. This piece really takes a lot of the stuff I learned over the year and combines it into one piece, and I could not be prouder of it. I have absolutely no problems with this one, though I do find the weapon a bit plain, but it's what the client described. December: AND NOW IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!! I had been working on this piece since August, going back to it every now and then and getting frustrated. I'm really glad I came back to it and finally finished it, since I love this pair and I put a lot of effort into it back in August. However, I'm also really glad I completely overhauled a lot of it, specifically the flowers. Though I'm not 100% happy with the mums in this one, they look a thousand times better than the mums I had originally sketched back in August, and were part of the reason I had such a hard time finishing this for months. I also thought it would be nice to end the year on the same note it started; with a flower couple. I've definitely learned a lot since January, and I hope to continue growing in 2019! 2019 GOALS!

Random domestic headcanons for the captains please?

i had to do this over because the domestic hcs i saw on tumblr were more of a parents theme hehe. i’m a little inexperienced with these, so if they’re not up to par, feel free to ask again c: ||

Sawamura

will agree to all he needs to do tbh

this man will cook all the meals no matter what. it will take some practice to get each dish right, but he does them nonetheless, and all of them are fantastic

if you’re working in the kitchen, he’s one of those guys that will come up from behind and watch you chop veggies and hand-tenderize that meat, thinking he’s got the best of the best in the world (even though you’re not but you’re still the best, bless the crow father)

I have a headcanon somewhere where he’s proud to call himself the Crow Father™, even though you called him that first because of his legacy in Karasuno

^ he really really likes being called the Crow Father

^ and Dadchi

Fond of Post-Its or little notes? You’ll soon find your supply dwindling when you start finding small pages of i-love-you’s and good-morning’s on your coffee mugs

Oikawa

because he can bake, he bakes a lot of things with his kids. it’s his other way of spending time with them.

^ and he leaves the cleaning to you

Movies! With the huge plasma TV in the master bedroom and a surround-sound system in place, he pulls everyone in for Movie Saturdays (for as long as he promises to help clean up afterwards)

Can’t cook an egg, but can make the house shine spotless.

Kisses you and the kids before leaving for work or practice, or for whatever the hell he does when he leaves the house

Dates once a month. Just the two of you; Uncle Iwa-chan said he’d watch the kids

^ flowers, five-star restaurant, movie, the works

^ OR he’ll take you for ramen and drinks

^ whatever you want tbh c:

Kuroo

will taste test everything that you make. everything

If he wakes up early on a weekend, he’ll just pull you into his arms, nuzzling against your skin until you wake up. He won’t let you go though; it’ll probably hours until he lets you go (or if you’re disturbed by tiny stomachs [and probably big stomach!] growling for brekky)

Flowers. Just flowers every single whenever he tries. The house will smell of them if he keeps it up

putting on music on his sound system, esp the cheesy ones, will cause him to pull you in to dance with him, whether you’re in pants, skirt, or paint-stained shirts and barefoot

some nights he’ll be in this ‘existential crisis’ mood, and ask all the questions. indulge him, and he’ll go on and on about the theories he’s thought about in his free time, which he doesn’t really get to do with most people because they think he’s weird (he only does this with kenma btw, who actually listens and filters his theories)

^ and you’ll see how he lights up like a hecking Christmas tree

Ushijima

painting the house: try painting on the back of his shirt. soon you’ll mysteriously find your own back covered in paint as well.

kisses! on the top of your head, on your cheek, on your shoulder, just everywhere he can reach

lowkey likes it when you slip into something of his. He thinks it’s weird, but he’s got no complaints

there’s an hc somewhere where he’s into plants. I support that he’s good at taking care of a lot of them. If anything, he’ll be a florist if the volleyball thing doesn’t work out (which will)

there’s an hc out there that he doesn’t show his affection as much as, say, Kuroo (who’s a total sap), and that’s okay. but he tries. like, getting lunch if you’re too busy, drawing a warm bath if the rain caught up to you and you forgot an umbrella, or if you’ve had a bad day and need ice cream and cuddles he’ll come to the couch with a movie, a tub and blankets

Bokuto

wakes up in the middle of the night and makes sure you’re safe and sound, tucked nicely in bed (and in his arms) bc he’s such a sap too

he’s a space heater, and he knows it. when it’s cold and you’re shivering he’ll just randomly pull you in

^ he lives for that sigh of relief

bridal-style carry. every time

^ esp when you’ve fallen asleep and he needs to carry you into the room

likes being asked to do things. like he’ll probably whine and everything, but he loves you so much he’ll agree to everything you ask him to do

^ just don’t ask him to do anything beyond his abilities, like cooking

^ if you do, only do it if you want the living space burned down

as you can see, almost all of the hcs are about him being such a prince charming. this is because he really likes the idea of being your prince charming

^ and sometimes the idea isn’t the reality

^ and sometimes the reality sucks

^ nonetheless, he really tries. like, if you need someone to do the heavy lifting he’ll be the one to offer to do just that

^ and if he knows you like that he can show off his guns, he’ll gladly strip and show off

Futakuchi

litters his clothes. Someday you’ll find a long lost shirt under the bed or couch

utterly no good with house chores, but can fix the plumbing, lights, cable TV, you name it; he’s the handyman

will bring snacks to where the TV/iPad/game center is. Charging in the bedroom? He’ll have a bowl of popcorn at the ready, watching YouTube on how to take care of goldfish.

If he comes home to you cooking, he’ll say, “Ah, that again?” and snickers at your reaction

He’s got a game center set up, so you, him, the kids, friends, and family can enjoy playing Mario Kart or Diablo III

Daishou

pretty OC about a lot of things. You know Levi from AoT? Sugu’s just…marginally less

^he’s mostly the one that keeps the living space spic and span

loves pranking you. plus points if he can get the kids to join him

tickles! If he can’t wake you up in the morning he’ll try to get you up with tickles

despite being able to clean the house, he doesn’t know where the cups, ketchup, cereal, mayo, marshmallows, biscuits, and a ‘handful’ of other things are hidden in drawers or cupboards

^ and when you ask him to get a pair of shears and say ‘it’s just there!’ he’ll ask ‘WHERE?’ as he looks for over 30 minutes

Terushima

walks around the house in a hoodie and boxers (shorts or briefs, take your pick ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) )

^ and fluffy bunny slippers!

will ask if he can join you in the shower

^ half the time with intent, half without

^ but actually will wash your back and kiss all the places while he does it

greets you with a kiss on the head, says goodbye with a kiss on the head, every time

^ and will ask you about your day, and actually listens intently, laughing off the heckers that made your day bad and being amused when you messed up

^ over ice cream or coffee ofc, his treat

#haikyuu!!#headcanons #captains #sawamura daichi #oikawa tooru #kuroo tetsurou #ushijima wakatoshi #futakuchi kenji #daishou suguru #terushima yuuji #domestic headcanons #i already added daishou to the list since he's been requested a lot lately c:#there ya go guys <3 #ahh i almost forgot bokuto #bokuto koutarou #internally screaming while doing bokuto's #AHHHHH

hhhhhhhh dude dude like mannnnnn like hhhhhh okay imma talk about loz for a sec and like i know i brought it up before but i love like so much okay like oot was my first time playing time playing any loz game and my lord it was the shit like the storyline the characters the graphics the sound track the quests and side characters liek everything really made it feel like so much mroe and like i feel so much for it like heres link growing up and hes like what around ten or so and hes got some friends and he finally gets his fairy and then his tree dad goes and dies right after telling him lmao sorry but you kinda gotta save the kingdom k bye and like this kid this kid literally knows jack shit about anything but he goes on and does it anyways he goes and helps zelda he goes and helps the people who are in trouble along the way and plays some rad ass tunes on his tiny lil ocarina of time while doing it and like even when he gets put into the future like he sitll has the mindset of a ten year old hes still as innocent and earnest and pure hearted as when he first started and like holy fuck dont get me started on sheik like shit sheik is so damn cool and like knowing that it was zelda all that time like fuck yeah zelda can kick ass fuck yeah zelda got muscles for days fuck yeah she can punt you across the kingdom and like at the end when she thanks him and sends him back and time so he can enjoy the lost time like shit dude i know zelda meant well and all but like hes experienced so much with and for her hes done so much give the kid a break and then even then navi in the end like leaves and then eveything continues in majoras mask and again hes in his ten year old body but now wiht the experiences and knowledge and basically memories from being seventeen like hes got so much mroe than what his body and mind should handle at this point and he wanders into the forest again all in search for an old friend to look for navi and like when he gets sent to termina after trying to chase after skull kid and like havign those nightmares witht he scrubs like hes gone through so much and i only want more for him and like he doesnt have to save termina he doesnt he doesnt need to do anything he can let termina get smooshed to smitherins by the moon for all the work hes already done for hyrule but he does it anyway and he rewinds time again and again and again and again so he can fix all of these problems for all of these people he does all of this to bring some sort of proper ending for these people who have the last three days of their lives the last three days before their deaths repeat over and over and over and over and over again and he saves them each and every time he rewinds time and he goes through all this shit i mean this ten year old mother fucker is doing olympic bakc flips and twirls and shit after oot like shit boi and then like oh myy gooddddd like damn botw like fuck dude that game means a whole lot to me like its lacking a lil bit in the presence of an evil and i mena i know its ganon and all but like shit i could ignore that motherfucker for all eternity if he wasnt being such a total asshat to zelda and like i mainly beat that motherfucker up just for zelda like for once in a game ive never wanted more to save her like they went so much into detail abotu her and like dude those memories thos cutscenes? like that shit made everythign and i truly love her she works so hard and shes held up to this image of being extremely spiritiually adept because of all her ancestors ebcause of all the other zeldas but she jsut cant she jsut cant do the same thing and so she tries in other ways she tries to udnerstand and get a grasp on sheikah and ancient tech so she can at least be prepared to stand against the calamity when it does come and like the champions all worry about her like the girl nearly got herself killed in the process of trying to awaken her so called spiritual powers and like dude finding out that in the beginning zelda legit hated links ass like they put so much mroe into her like she she hated seeing that he was a prodigy that he didnt have a single trouble in the world and then finally link speaks up and he tells her he talks to her about why he keeps quiet and like the two finally bond and like the two dorks love each other so much that it really does go beyond friendship and romance like they legit would die for each other that one time that zelda was this fucking close to getting her ass handed to her on a silver platter and link was beat the fuck up like he went to save her and then the time when link was basically on his death bed and a guardian was about to pulverize him zelda stood between him and the guardian this bitch wasnt even thinking about having her spiritual powers she was legit ready to die for him if it meant he could run away and get to safety and i mean luckily she her spiritual powers did come out but she legit realized it when she was so genuinely scared but chose to stand up cause she cared for him so much and like these two kids fight so much and have gone through a lot both on their own times and also together but like i love them so much no matter what timeline theyre in
