Why did the whole fandom just randomly agree on how Alastor and his mother looks like in human form. Did Vivzipop even confirm his appearance???? DO WE ALL REALLY SHARE THE SAME BRAINCELL?????
Ain't no way everyone imagines Alastors human form the same. Yet here we are.

Hi! This is my first time requesting so forgive me if I did something wrong 😿
I've read your Aventurine x slave!reader and I was wondering how about reader who WANTS to be his sex slave? The first time reader met Aventurine, she's been gushing over him. Reader tries to hide it but the word "simp" literally written on her face. Every night reader dreams of riding, sucking Aventurine's cock, wanting his head between her legs, rocking her inside every night. Every time reader nears/sees Aventurine, her face got red and her legs slightly parting although she insists it's just her habit. It didn't took Aventurine long to know what reader has been dreaming of and he's gladly fulfill reader's small dream.
Bonus: reader has a degradation kink and in her mind she'll do anything Aventurine told/request her like a good pet
Once again sorry if this is somehow against your rule 😭 If you're not feeling comfortable with it you can delete my message
MR HOTSTUFF, PLEASE NOTICE ME !
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
˚₊‧desc— Aventurine noticed that one of his subordinates just can't seem to keep their eyes off him!
˚₊‧tw— smut, degradation kink, dacryphilia, blowjob, slight pet play, adult toys, buttplug, public sex?, dubcon photo taking, choking, masochistic!reader, sadistic!Aventurine, kinda yandere!reader
˚₊‧a/n— I've been having writer's block but I desperately want to write for my husband. This is the most tame fic I've written so far I think, this is soo horrible cuz I wrote this while my head hurts.
Tumblr media
He hated dealing with new recruits in the IPC, as the senior member of the strategic investment department—it wasn't really his job to do so.
They're incompetent, slow-working assholes who can't understand a single thing he says. But still—he does need to pick a partner.
He doesn't understand why he needs to, since he's fully capable of himself but it is a requirement for every Ten-Stonehearts members. Said it was something about a program training the recruits..
He goes to round the recruits and asking them questions to find which is the most suitable one for him.
Honestly, all of these recruits are dumber than Topaz's pet. The talent motivation department did a horrible job with finding these recruits.
Each one of them can't answer a simple question, when he asks them if they're willing to risk their life for a gamble, all of them just suddenly go dumb-witted as if they lost all braincells.
He doesn't mean to sound like a fellow acquaintance who nags everytime he sees an idiot, but for the love of Qlipoth are they a dumbass with a stick shoved up their ass.
He rejected all of them and was even beginning to think that he wasn't gonna pick one that's good enough, well that was until he was met with the sight of a cute girl—undoubtedly nervous.
How could he miss such a gem in these crowds? He observes you for a moment and when you glance at him—your eyes shine with admiration.
He likes it, you're cute, can keep up with his commands although you do that little thing that makes you space-out sometimes.
He's not extremely bias towards women, but aren't you just so adorable—a diamond in the rough, he thinks.
And when he asks you a question, you'd respond in a fast tone. And when he finally asks you the question that the other recruits dreaded, you'd answer in a cheery tone.
"Y-yes, I'd like to sacrifice my life for you, Aventurine! You're amazing and I'd really like it if I was your assistant even if that means I have to die just to worship the ground you walk on—" you stop when he just stares in your eyes without a response.
Bingo.
Tumblr media
"How is your recruit fairing, Aventurine? I heard that you liked her very much." Topaz asks while petting Numby that's placed on her lap.
"Mmn, she's alright." he says as if he wasn't hiding you beneath his desk, sucking his cock as he has a conversation with Topaz. He hums as he strokes your hair, Topaz still so blissfully unaware of what a happening under the table.
"How about your recruit?" he asks and pushes you down deeper by your head, you gagged but it was silenced by Topaz's talking, thankfully.
"I don't like him, it seems like I chose the wrong one. I'm even considering to drop the program off—it's not even worth it since we should be busy with other things." she sighs before crossing her arms and Numby squeals when she does that.
"Sounds like he's a handful." he almost moans but he managed to keep it in, his face is probably flushed at the moment.
"You have no idea of how much of a—Hey, you okay? You look pretty red." she mentions and almost stands up to check on him.
"Yeah—gh. I'm fine, I'm just not up for conversations right now." you bat your eyelashes at him, tears threatening to fall down whilst you take him deeper in your mouth.
Topaz nods—placing the space trotter down as the chair scrapes against the floor, Numby starts to stare at him as if aware of what was happening.
"Hey Topaz," Aventurine called out as she was leaving the room, "Lock the door before you leave, please." He accidentally let out a moan which was silenced quickly while hoping that she doesn't notice.
She doesn't question the slight moan and leaves the room with her pet following, Numby looks at him suspiciously before being called by Topaz and Numby hurriedly follows behind.
Aventurine finally breathes heavily, not realizing that he was holding his breath all these time. The fact that you're gazing up at him with those eyes of yours make his cock twitch in your mouth.
"Y-you.. Fuck.. What a good recruit I have hm? You're so—fuck.. Come here, bend over the desk." you abide, bending over the table and lifting your skirt to proudly show him the buttplug you wore that resembles a cat's tail.
"So cute.." he coos and flicks the tail, he had gifted you that just the day before you so willingly confessed your obsession over him.
"M-master—cock.." he slaps your butt once, reminding you of your place and how you're not supposed to make any demands.
"Nuh-uh, remember how I taught you? Manners, baby." you whimper at his words before fumbling over your words again which just makes you get another spank on the butt.
"No cock until you learn to ask properly." whining at his words—you try to speak properly, you do want his cock after all.
"Cock—please, Master..? I'll be good.." you manage to let out despite the embarrassment, but you're so used to being shameless around him.
He praises you for a moment and grants your wishes—the wish that you desperately wants his dick in your cunt.
The hands that were holding your hips were now on your neck, gripping your throat tightly and cutting off your airway.
But you like it—it's feels so good to be choked— especially by him! You want to die by his hands.. By his graceful hands.
"M-more.. More.." the word leaves you like a river flowing out, you drool once he pushes himself inside you and grunts.
The rhythm starts off slow and gentle before it proceeds to get rougher and deeper, you moan out and looks at him with a blurry vision.
Just before you could pass out—he took his hands off you just so you could breath in and you physically whine.
Just by that whine—he gradually speeds up faster, hitting the spots within you that you could never reach with a custom-made dildo of him.
Tears start slipping down your cheeks which he smiles at. He loves your tears, he loves it when you break down because of him.
More and more, you start to get crazier day by day—mad over a woman getting too close to him and oh he just loves that.
He kisses your tears away and grins at your dumbstruck face—he cums at the sight of it, pushing his seed deep inside your womb.
You're already gone the first round, he wants to do much much more with you. But first, he pulls out a gift for you.
A collar for you, he clips the collar on your neck. Now he can fuck you easily—and also show that you're his and his subordinate alone.

The most annoying characters in eah
This is not my opinion this is genuine fact. I don’t mean that in a joking way.
Apple White: this is obvious. I mean she forced destiny on to people, then has character development then has a fucking To Coda or whatever and goes onto the same bs she started on.
Holly O’Hair: in the show she was cool. I don’t mean that as in ‘I like her’ or ‘she has a cool design’ like genuinely, she was cool as fuck, which the other characters thought as well. But in the books… I 100% that either everyone found her extremely annoying or she was on the spectrum (WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH COOL REPRESENTATION IF DONE CORRECTLY). Like her whole personality was ‘I’m a ✨wrITer✨. I don’t feel that fact checking rn (what im about to say is right just aren’t examples drawn from the book) but she would randomly use words like serendipity and indubitably. And also someone asked POPPY how she got into being a hairdresser and Holly started telling Poppy’s life story. AND IT WAS LIKE A WHOLE CHAPTER LONG OF HOLLY JUST SAYING NOTHING.
Ginger Breadhouse: same thing with Holly. Fine in the series but in the books… okay actually she’s not that bad. But she was lowkey a pick me. Just her internal monologue. I just didn’t like how 13 year old girl she was over hopper. She made such a big deal for what. Anyways the part of kiss and spell where ginger kisses hopper and she’s his true love but everyone thinks it’s briar… stupid af. Lowkey briar x ginger.
Sparrow Hood: I mean this is literally canon. I would find some random redhead constantly screeching with an electric guitar that somehow always has an amplifier annoying too.
Courtley Jester: her voice alone is annoying
Justine Dancer: what do you mean to tell me ‘Justine Dancer, the youngest of the twelve dancing sisters […] But who does not yet know her fairytale destiny.’ (Moonlight Mystery). My girl be lacking braincells. Especially since she’s a double Royal people would be so sick of her wondering her destiny. Hmm you have 11 older sisters and your mom was a dancing princess… I wonder what your destiny could possibly be.
Meeshell Mermaid: again with the inner monologue. ‘In sea we all sing beautiful choir together and everyone’s voice is equally beautiful, except for Coral that’s why she’s the sea witch 🎀🐠. But fsr on land my voice is the most beautiful ever’ and don’t forget the ‘no headmaster Grimm I don’t want any Accommodations for being a mermaid because ppl will treat me differently *cutely forgets that’s there’s literally fairies, witch, ogres, giants at eah and she’s nothing special* so because I’m don’t excepting any accommodations people are treating me weird because I need accommodations to fit in’. Also her singing is shit.
Gus + Helga Crumb: self explanatory
Tw: controversial opinion
Cerise Hood: ⛓️I’m so different🐺 💔no one understands me🐾 I’m sorry but she legit talks and thinks like this. Also I can’t remember if it was the year book or royals & rebels but like there was a catagory that said bffa’s and cerise put something along the lines of ‘I could never have friends no one would know the true me.’ And then raven legit put Cerise down as one of her bffa’s. Cerise bffr. She’s so Wattpad alpha female coded

Hello! I’m the anon who talked about the modern au loser high elf a little while back and I’m back with an idea that hit me like a truck :) After the adorable pathetic loser and you establish a friendship (and start banging like a screen door in a hurricane), what if you start hinting at possibly making homemade porn videos with your best friend >:) Initially teasing him about his disgustingly huge xhuman porn collection, suggesting that if he struggles to find something that caters to his tastes then maybe the two of you could figure something out 👀… And maybe one day, after some creative camerawork, editing, and maybe some illusion charms to hide both your identities, he gets to post a homemade video to one of the dirty human kink forums he frequents of you bouncing that soft, squishy, sinful human body on his dick while he b e g s for you to let him cum in a mix of elvish and common ☺️ (Also may I be 🩵 anon? I know I’m gonna be back for more later 😁)
Screendoor in a hurricane indeed, gonna make the big bang look like a tea party.
We should probably give him a name eventually huh?
But fuck can you imagine it? This loser elf guy who frequents the kink forums and keeps sharing links and fantasies so much that he is definitely well known amongst the degenerates there.
One day, he just goes offline, maybe for a week or a month, and his online friends are asking about him.
And when he eventually comes back, his first post is a video of a cute human on his lap, his cock squeezed between your soft thighs with the camera only showing up to your chest.
He's leaking pre-cum just by being squeezed between your thighs, cock twitching and painfully hard. His hands squeezing your chest as he struggles not to thrust his hips forward and fuck your thighs.
The camera audio is picking up his quiet voice, shameful whispers in elvish as he begs you to let him fuck you. Pleading to allow his cock inside you and let him feel your hot wet walls clamming down around him. You coo at him as you rub your thighs together and the most pathetic moan leaves him, his fingers visibly shaking.
You're not even touching him, your hands are on the bed as you sit comfortably on his lap. He's been keeping you inside all day, orgasm after orgasm was coaxed out of you since sunrise until now.
This is payback for him being such a greedy pervert, for not being able to sit next to a human without his cock getting hard, and suddenly his fingers are pulling at the hems of your clothes and he's eyeing the space between your legs while licking his lips.
What's a better way than to teach him some discipline than edge him endlessly while on being recorded? So you can show all of the human kink losers he calls friends in the forum how much they can't truly handle a human in bed.
The second you post the video, it suddenly shots up to the top of the page. Comment after comment, hit after hit. People wonder if that's a real human, did a human actually find their forum?
But even the mods of the forum can't keep their braincells from slipping away while watching your video. Especially with how you keep pushing the elf until he crumbles, whining and crying for your human hole, talking about how he's willing to do anything just to make love to you again.
High elves really rarely use dirty words, yet the camera stand witness to all the perverted things you made him admit. Telling him to ask to fuck you, it's not make love.
The camera can't see the way his lips tremble as his pointy ears lower down slightly. He's using common this time as he asks to fuck you, please have mercy.
And you let him, giving him the permission.
He slips in you, his cum still inside you from earlier makes this easier. And fuck he's cumming already, just barely bottomed out as he's switching back to elvish and becoming a moaning mess while filling you with his cum.
But he still goes on, continues pumping and fucking into you through the overwhelming pleasure. It's like he's addicted to your body, the way his hands grip possessively at whatever they can hold, the way he keeps calling you these sweet titles in elvish that are normally only reserved for your spouce.
With the first video being such a massive hit, people are already overflowing his inbox with requests, even offering to pay for commissions.
Most of the focus is on you, they want to see the cute human ride dildos in shapes of various races. A dragonborn's massive one with rigges scales, a demon's shaped one with blunt spikes and a mean big head, an aasimar's one that curves just right to bully that sensitive spot inside you with the most beautiful colours.
People want to see the human take two or three at once, see you in a collar with a leash or on a throne with a leather whip. Some want you in frilly pink lingerie with your ass out, others prefer a classy red tight dress with your chest exposed.
A smaller group that's made of fellow elves, want to see you with your loser high elf boyfriend. Want to see him dress you up in traditional elvish clothes before ripping them off of you. Want him to teach you the most lewd words in elvish and make you repeat them while he fucks you.
Whenever you're busy or away and he can't bother you with his kisses or needy cock, he's browsing the forum and answering all the questions thrown his way.
Asking how the inside of a human felt, how much did he pay you to agree to sleep with him? What do you mean it was fully voluntary- so the rumours are true? Humans are whores?
Somehow, these questions are starting to irritate him.
A lot of them ask him if he's willing to share you, or if they can get your socials. He ends up blocking and reporting them, not even bringing them up to you.
Because...what if you leave him for one of them? What if you'd prefer a tiefling with cool horns or half-orc who could manhandle you with ease? He can't ruin the one thing in life that has made him happy- the single time fate smiled his way.
So he convinces you to let him take care of the online account, you can worry about the videos and making them, he will take care of everything else for you.
Also he still hasn't corrected anyone in the forum who call him your boyfriend, that title is making him happier more than it has any right to. So what if he didn't bring it up to you yet? He'd rather live in this fantasy where he is your boyfriend.

Hi!! Could I perhaps request MC in a poly relationship with Malleus and Riddle? Fluff headcanons would be fine! Thank you!!
𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐒
𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐃𝐋𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐔𝐒 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐀
gender-neutral warnings: genre: fluff a/n: - literally had to summon all the braincells to make this cause we never get any interactions of them tgt?? like when?? trying my best for you ofc :D - the banners belong to me, but the pictures is from the official manga! please do not steal! - please give me feedback :)
Let me know if you'd like more!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
honestly? i think the dynamics would be really awkward in the beginning. like you have riddle who recovered from an overblot, slightly lost on whether to be strict or not...and then you have malleus who isn't used to human interaction and is probably wondering how is he supposed to act around not one, but two children of man
you're the poor soul that ties these two together; the glue in the relationship. it takes a while until they are used to the new dynamic - dating you while sharing you with the other. sooner or later, they get quite close and you'll often find them chatting together about the latest novel they've read or planning dates together
it's quite strange when you reveal that you're dating not one, but both housewardens. riddle nor malleus is big on PDA, they are very discrete with their acts of love towards you, so it comes to a shock to everyone.
ace, deuce, and sebek are impacted the most. they have to deal with the boys going love-eyes all over you the moment they are back in their respective dorms, waiting to see you again. they have to deal with a teary-eyed queen and king respectively, moaning and groaning about how they have to be seperated from their beloved prefect...sigh, can you just come over and get them please y/n? #saveacedeuceandsebekfromlovesickboys
lilia is beyond delighted!! finally, malleus has a lover after so many decades~~ his teaching skills are really put to use at last!
trey and cater are like riddle's supportive parents. cater is more than happy to snap pictures of you on dates with them (how he gets some shots are really a mystery) and/or suggest date ideas to riddle. trey is also happy to bake goods for riddle on your little tea-time dates together, constantly helping riddle to make sure that everything goes smoothly
dates with riddle:
hanging out in heartslabyul, painting the roses red together, grooming the hedgehogs together and laughing when one gives riddle's adorable cheeks a cute kiss
your queen of hearts have never blushed as he does now; his face is a cute shade of maroon, almost rivalling his hair color
tea time in the rose maze is a common occurance of a heartslabyul student to see on occasion. trey is more than happy to support riddle in his relationship by baking strawberry tarts for both of you to eat. you spoon-feed riddle, smiling and cooing as riddle obliges, but not without yet another blush
study dates!! riddle is constantly making sure that not only is he scoring well, but you're also acing your studies. just because you're his king of hearts doesn't mean you get to slack off too! of course, sometimes riddle's fingers linger on your hands and his ears will glow red when he gets too close. he makes sure that you're drinking some relaxing tea to calm your nerves, making sure that you're on top of your studies as always
dates with malleus:
hanging out around ramshackle, under the starry nights, smiling gently as malleus hugs you from the back while resting his head on top of yours before pointing out to you all those constellations
when it's too dark, malleus will summon an army of fireflies, their bodies glowing a shade of green that rivaled the shade of his eyes
he is very gentle!! if you're cold, he's immediately talking off his blazer and wrapping it around you, but if that's not enough, he'll also summon a scarf the shade of diasomnia green to wrap around your neck!!
sometimes, you'll bring along new flavors of ice cream for the dragon fae to try. you never fail to laugh when malleus's eyes go adorably wide when he tries a new, unusually flavor, before he tries to feed you the same thing
dont forget about his baby, gao-gao dragon-kun! he also orders one for you, but if you refuse, malleus is adamantly on raising his tamagotchi together with you.
dates with both:
riddle and malleus try their hardest to spoil you (which is quite easy when you remember riddle is the son of a wealthy doctor and malleus is literally an heir to the throne). sometimes, you have to reign them in, saying they can't just spend so much on you
the most PDA they'll do is hand-holding or a couple of feather-light kisses. they're very polite gentlemen who know how to respect your boundaries, so you never have to fear embarassed in public nor blushing until your cheeks are rose-red. however, if they feel particularly jealous/possesive, an arm would sneak around your waist before pulling you closer, their eyes glowing ominously at the poor soul who decided to look at what's theirs
they take turns planning the dates; riddle mostly goes for something calm like a date at the local bookstore, malleus goes for food dates so he can try some new dishes, and you? you suggest the daring ones - amusement park rides, carnival activities, and/or movie dates! with you, riddle and malleus are constantly pushing out of their little bubble, exploring things together with you
that's it for now, happy reading! :D
let me know if you want part 2/with other characters!

so i am an ardent Sasha James Enjoyer, and as such i very much dislike fanon!Sasha. her personality and character do a near-complete 180 from canon to fanon, making it tough as hell to find fics that don't just make her the Braincell Mom Friend—if she's even featured—and i took that personally. i'm a fic writer, and i have quite a few WIPs bouncing around in my flash drive that feature her in at least some capacity, and i certainly didn't want to add to the pile of fics where Sasha is Like That. so, a while ago i re-listened to every episode she appears in and Compiled A List of Sasha Trivia, just random bits of info that caught my attention that help me keep a clear image of her character in my head. with maybe a little bit of headcanon thrown in there for fun.
so! without further ado: various Sasha notes bc i love her
never had any direct interactions/experiences with the supernatural before the Distortion
afraid of rollercoasters, doesn't like horror
considered herself a skeptic, thought working in the Institute made her moreso
had a "dreary" commute to work, liked peeking through the old warped windows of her building's stairwell bc it made people distort like a funhouse mirror
a bit of a pedant (calliope)
was more sympathetic towards Martin than the other two were after he gave his first statement in 022, felt bad for him being the target of Jon's ire
sososo curious, to the point it can overpower fear
deliberately didn't tell Jon about her initial encounter with the Distortion bc she knew he'd try to discourage her from going, which she'd already decided to do (stubborn)
of course, followed the Distortion (a whole-ass monster) to a cemetery in the dead of night without telling anyone about it
(she did so because it sounded like it knew a way to save Jon's, Tim's, and Martin's lives, and in the wake of Prentiss targeting Martin, she decided she couldn't take that chance)
"without thinking" she figured out how to kill the worms using CO2. i like to think that was some Knowing right there
Jon considered her the most "level-headed" of the team, and trusted her to be telling the truth
was the one to ask if Jon was okay after being caught off-guard by his surprise party (and was also the one who said it was "kind of fun, giving you a heart attack")
knew Jon was lying about his age, knew about Martin's CV (goes through her coworkers' files)
despite having hacked her way into said confidential files, she considered being recorded during Jon's birthday party an invasion of privacy
bullied Tim into stapling statements that one time
Tim was more outwardly upset by Jon's being promoted instead of Sasha than she was. she knew if she said anything about it she'd just wind up in trouble, so she kept her mouth shut
had been in academia for ten years by the time the Archives transfer occurred
knew about Danny and the reasons Tim joined the Institute
didn't think there was such a thing as a "real you," save for the actions one takes. considered everything else a mask put on for others
was dead-sure (and was correct in thinking that) Gertrude kept the Archives a mess for a reason, and was concerned about what the reason could be
and that's about all! alas it would have been wonderful if we'd gotten the chance to learn more about her, but given she's only in six episodes, some only for a moment, she really is jam-packed full of character and life. i love her so much.

a/n: stupid idea inspired by recent events :')
taglist: @stygianoir, @requiem626k, @irethepotato, @kisara-16reblogs, @dazaee, @thatdazaikin
being a thirdwheel
featuring: Dazai, Kunikida, Akutagawa, Chuuya, Ango x no one in particular, i guess
Dazai Osamu
Surprised. Very surprised.
He's usually the one who makes people thirdwheels so being on the other end is... interesting.
But mostly he doesn't enjoy it. Try as he might to return the conversation back to a three-way affair, it just doesn't work. The heck is wrong with these horny heathens?
So this is what Kunikida feels like, he thinks. Now he sort of understands why he's so mad at him when it happens.
If somehow he just doesn't manage to reassert dominance, he'll reluctantly become a sort of wingman instead. If you can't beat them, join them! Or so they say.
Kunikida Doppo
A natural thirdwheel and he knows it. He could be a professional at this if he wanted to just because he's that experienced (even before he met Dazai).
Generally finds it awkward and annoying, but mostly the former. He's at that point that he just doesn't care much anymore.
For example, he used to say something if he's being ignored by the other two. But it always goes back to them being glued to each other that he's resigned himself to his fate. I wonder when I'll have someone to look at me like that and other similar thoughts fill his mind.
He accompanies them/sits there like an adult chaperone for two pre-teens going on a date. Lowkey hates it and glares at the pair with the general disdain of a disapproving high school teacher. For some reason, it always lands him a place back in the group every single time.
...of course, except with Dazai. He only gets teased more.
Akutagawa Ryuunosuke
A natural thirdwheel but doesn't know it. He obliviously enters the scene and makes things awkward without even trying.
For example, he enters the room to grab a drink and sits in front of the two. It takes a few long stares before he realizes he's interrupted or is basically unwanted there.
He then mutters a "...sorry" and leaves. Once he recognizes an awkward situation he does his best to avoid it - that's just his style.
But if for some reason he can't leave, he'll silently and emotionlessly tag along.
He honestly thinks it's a huge nuisance and is tempted to slice their arms of to prove a point but if nothing fuels his anger, then he won't say or do anything. The most he'll do is snap back everynow and then (not that he doesn't do it regularly, but anyway).
Nakahara Chuuya
He's the most open about his feelings among those listed here. Not the angry type that happens when he's drunk; just strong facial expressions and sometimes direct wording.
But he mostly smiles at them while sitting there. Menacingly.
"Oh, sorry Chuuya-kun we didn't see you there-"
He's heard that line more than enough times but he still gets angry over it. "I'm not that fucking short, assholes."
If there's food or drink nearby, he'll focus on that instead (while staring at them all the while ofc). Better if it were alcohol like wine or whiskey so that he doesn't have to deal with his annoyance at it all. Seriously, it's extremely rude.
Sakaguchi Ango
It's not uncommon for him to be out of place/picked on, but somehow being pushed aside due to romantic matters saddens him a little bit more.
Surprisingly (or not), he's the most accepting out of all those listed here. Yes it is quite awkward but he's so used to keeping his thoughts to himself that he can easily melt back into the background if he wanted to.
But he's also the one who 'cares' the most about what's happening in front of him. Listens to the conversation intently and commentates on every single sentence internally. He liked that? That's a compliment?? How many braincells has he lost for him to say that??
He can always excuse himself by claiming he has urgent/sudden work to do. But depending on his company like Dazai he might get caught.
"Aww no need to leave so soon, Ango-kun! We love you just as much~"

Lurimol time baybeee!!! How do Lurien and Hegemol deal with the beetle breeding season, where stag beetles are essentially filled with the 'I must flip others at all costs' instinct? Ik Heg is a big softie, but if Lurien uses damselfly courting methods, I wonder how Heg might show off how big beetles show they're prime stock
Lurimol time !!! Thank you.... This one got a bit away from me eheheh so I'm sorry it's a bit long.
Hegemol is the biggest softie and is also the world's most repressed idiot, a deadly combination ashtrh. He's very, very happy and truly honored that Lurien invites him to learn damselfly dances, but... hoogh. He was able to repress the urges before and just keep himself rather set away from others when it was Time To Fling, but now that he has an actual person of his desires, and a 'potential partner' he wants to show off to... that's getting a little harder.
He may start trying to invite Lurien to come watch him spar with his other knights, who are all partially confused when The Watcher shows up and just. Does as he does (watches). But when hegemol flips Ogrim, something he really doesn't do, I think it would finally click for Ogrim what's happening as the other beetle in the group ashffh. [SpongeBobgrin.png "You like Lurien, don't you Hegemol.]
I think this would culminate in Hegemol entering and inviting Lurien to a knightly tournament that's being held for the masses, something he's explicitly expressed disinterest in before ("Ah, I'm too old for those games" or "I've no need to win adoration" etc). And coupled with a poster of a beetle hunk as part of the advertising it finally FINALLY clicks for Lurien what is Happening.
And Lurien bless his heart tries to. Help? By saying "You don't need to win my affections this way, you know. I don't even have a preference for strength." Which is intended well but makes Hegemol [deflating balloon noises] internally because sorry Lurien his mind is still in flinging mode and takes that to mean he's not the strongest and may in fact be a pity pick.
Anyway Aedmond the butler comes to the rescue that night while making Lurien his tea and explain that he just accidentally turned down Hegemol's courtship advances, and that the *ritual* of it all is very important. And Lurien's single braincell devoted to social things is like OH.................. thank you Aedmond this is why I hired you above all others.
So he still goes to the tourney and Hegemol immediately perks up upon seeing him from the ring like a goddamn golden retriever of a man and starts fuckin beetle brawling with the utmost intensity. And with every fling he glances up at Lurien in his secluded box seat (with Aedmond) and Lurien makes sure to always appear leaning forward maybe with a hand on his heart or something akin to a taken aback swoon, even if he wouldn't normally.
Hegemol ends up getting into the final match against his own first squire, Gytha, who is my huge Trans Hercules Beetle and she's definitely here to get some bitches. She and Hegemol normally brawl whenever they see each other, it's their tradition, but *normally* Gytha wins. She's younger, more spry, and as his squire knows a lot of his weak points as he's the one that trained her, and she's since developed her own fighting style and methods once she was knighted. She also has the huge Hercules Beetle horns that make it easier for her to grab and fling even huge bugs like Heg. (She is also, notably, the only non-enemy bug Hegemol will ever use his full strength against, because he knows she can take it.)
Their match may even go longer than the preliminaries because when Hegemol actually cares about what losing means (it means nothing to Lurien but yknow, Fling Brain in full swing here), he doesn't just give up on the first grab from Gytha. He squeezes his hands into her horns right before she flips him and wrenches them off of him, he traps her neck between his horns in a move that she's barely able to get out of, all sorts of shit that has the crowd going wild and Lurien now *fully* invested because I don't think he's ever seen Hegemol really display his strength like this. And Aedmond sits there like :> (sipping his drink) because oops my lord has actually fallen for the beetle courtship for real. What a shame, what a shame.
Gytha and Hegemol get to the point where they're both shaking from exhaustion after such a long bout, she can't even heft him to fling if she wanted to, and she's also caught on by the fact that her old mentor keeps looking up at *something* that he, for once, has a stake in this. She goes in for a misplaced grab that she knows will be met with resistance and all but helps to throw her weight into the hurl as Hegemol uses the last of his strength to send her skidding on her back toward the edge of the ring. She'd never tell him she did that on purpose, but also in her mind it's better to have helped her old man get some than to admit she was defeated for real (which she would have been and she knows it).
Crowd goes fucking wild, Lurien finally lets out that breath he's been holding, Aedmon sips his tea and hands Lurien a fan, Hegemol is named this year's beetle brawl champion. And all is well.
He does get a few days off after that because grandpa definitely pushed himself too far but hooogh he's the happiest bug in the world.
And after that, he doesn't super get the urge to join the brawl again once Lurien and he are rather committed to each other. He does still get cycles, but the desire to "prove himself" as a mate fades significantly. He may still toss Ogrim if Lurien happens to be watching, but he's content to know he 'won' his spot at Lurien's side.

I’m not gonna stop you from your Cheerful Chip fan fiction
Matter in fact To be honest I’m always wonder what kind of wonderful improved artful art than the last art will be with you and Chip will be
It’s just that I’m think there is a certain sad wet cat waiting on the porch metaphorically saying
But beside that, Your Art has improved over the time and I am glad to have witnessed it
-H/B Anon
P.s. I don’t know if the wording color is for you ,for me it’s Black
P.p.s. How bout role swap, our beloved Himbo and Bimbo as Toons and their beloved Chelly as a Cog (a tall Chelly is something )
hiiiiiiii nonny~ hehe thank you very much for all of the encouraging words, I appreciate it so much!!!! <3 don't worry, misty will get the braincell soon. however. for now we have more pressing things to discuss. the role swap au.
You got me going again SOOOO much lmao- Here they are!!!! The poly roleswapped!!! Unfortunately Chelly. does not get much taller lol She's just a bit taller than the tallest possible toon species'. Chelly is based on those cute little vacuums with the little faces on them. You've seen those before, right? If not please look them up they're so cute.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'LL WRITE ALL THE INFO UNDER THE CUT BC THIS GETS VERY LONG <3
Chip is a wolf toon, and Misty is a sheep toon! Both ideas were by my lovely friend @photon-crest-art whose input I appreciate sooo much!!! her ideas got me going foaming at the mouth crazy over this role swap even more than I already was SDHGDSGHDSHS also tagging @frostbite-the-bat bc they also hyped me up a lot while I was in the process of making all these!!! <3
When it comes to the whole override thing, Chip just. Goes absolutely wild at night sometimes. He's a werewolf!!! But. literally since he's already a wolf. this was also photon's idea thank you photooooon heehee <3
Misty has her weather powers still! So she can still change weather phases and essentially smite people with lightning if they make her really mad lol
Unfortunately both toons are outcast because of their respective 'quirks'. However, to their surprise, one person does support them through it all! They weren't expecting it to be this absolute nervous wreck of a cog who is, surprisingly, very very silly and toon-like! She clings to them like glue, but they appreciate it so much!! I feel like toon Chip and toon Misty would both be very sad very lonely toons, perhaps becoming more prone to bouts of low laff and poor health as such from such a poor mental state. However, they've got each other now and Chelly too!! Just like how the normal toon Chelly's health was pretty shit due to her mental state but improved having Chip and Misty around, she's now able to pay that love back ten-fold in this au!! Hehe it always comes back to 'love heals' with me <3
OH YES AND I WROTE CHELLY'S COG STATS!!!! a. and potential bossfight cutscenes. um. yeah. I went a little overboard haha. these cutscenes are uh. I think they're longer than the ones in-game??? I. don't know. I think they are. sorry not sorry >u<

Opening Cutscene 
The Toons enter the doors at the far back of the building, leading them to the real cog clinic inside. The Mechanician is seen speaking to a Flunky. Neither cog seems to notice their approach, as they are focused on their consultation while the Toons get closer.
“...and that should do it then, little sprout!”
 “Are you sure this is alright, Ms. Honeywell? Wouldn’t the Chairman get angry over that?”
At the Flunky’s concerns, the Mechanician fiddles with her hands. She shakes her head before re-addressing the Flunky.
“...R-Right. He may see it as ‘slacking’, but… well. You know how I feel about that. Just… try to heed my instructions to the best of your ability.” 
“Whatever you have the room to do, okay, bud? Remember, your health comes first.”
“Yes, ma’am! Thank you again.”
The Flunky begins to fly away, and with a nod, she sees him off.
“Of course. Come back any time!”
The Mechanician sighs, shaking her head.
“Ugh. You’d think that man-baby would realize sooner… without us all, he’s…-”
She trails off, turning upon noticing the Toons. She startles, letting out a squeak at their presence, but tries to relax herself to make conversation with them.
“Ah! T-Toons?! Uh- Ahem.” 
“Um… hello there! Are you… perhaps here for a check-up? I apologize, but… um, ahaha.. I-I only know how to treat cogs.”
“Unless you… have an appliance in need of fixing? I can do that too…”
The Toons get angry. The Mechanician pulls her hands up to her chest, taking a few steps back, clearly nervous.
“Eep! O-Okay, message received… U-Um… oh, look! Is that, um, a doodle pup?”
The Mechanician gestures behind the toons. The Toons turn around to look, all confused when they see nothing. The Mechanician begins tip-toeing away while they’re distracted. One toon looks back at her and exclaims as they see her try to sneak away. She yelps and breaks into a panicked sprint, running off into another, much larger room room further in the building. The Toons make chase.
She runs into a storage room and to an emergency escape door. However, before she reaches it, a stick of TNT thrown by a toon lands in front of the door. She startles and stumbles away from it before it explodes. The exit is now unusable. She turns, and the toons have caught up to her.
“Oh no… wait, h-hold on..! Surely we can talk things out civilly, r-right?! I… I really don’t want to fight you!”
The Toons refuse and begin to approach, the Mechanician backing up towards the wall as they close in.
“N-No, please!! I don’t want to hurt anyone… please don’t make me! I… someone, help!!”
The Mechanician reaches into her pocket, pulling out a panic button and pressing it with shaking hands. Once she does, two cogs promptly fly into the room, landing at the Mechanician’s sides. The battle begins.
Ending Cutscene (Mercy)
The Mechanician reaches to her power core, hand hovering over it shakily. She is clearly in immense pain, her panic now reaching a boiling point as she realizes how injured she really is. Suddenly, her hands clench into fists and she quakes through the pain, knocking the toons off their feet. The quake doesn’t damage the toons, however.
“STOP!!!! THAT.. IS QUITE.. ENOUGH!!!”
She shakes her head, pulling her hands to her chest protectively and looking at the Toons as they rise to their feet.
“Why…?! I’ve been clear from the beginning that I didn’t want to fight! But… B-But you just won’t LISTEN!”
Her hands rise, holding her head in distress.
“Wh-What do you even get from this… from hurting me?!”
The Toons do nothing.
“I… I get it. This war. It… must be so stressful on you. On all of you.”
“B-But… I’ve been careful… so, so careful!”
The Mechanician turns her head, looking away from the toons for a moment before turning back to them.
“I… I know we’re *supposed* to fight toons, but… I’ve never seen the point. All of this violence is ridiculous to me.”
“All I’ve ever wanted was to stay on the sidelines, and to help those who were hurt.”
“I mean… I’ve never even gone out and fought toons before, anyhow! ...So… why? W-Why me?”
The Toons do nothing.
“...Ah. So that’s why. You see me as a threat… because of what I do for my fellow suits?”
The Mechanician shakes her head in disappointment.
“Have you Toons ever put yourselves in a Suit’s shoes? A-At least… just for a moment?”
“If you did, you’d understand. I… I understand the plight you Toons go through.”
“However, you’re not the only ones suffering. Whether they fall low or high on the chain of command… we all hurt, just the same.”
She pauses, wincing in pain herself. She’s visibly twitching and glitching out.
“Wh-What, do you think we deserve for our pain to stick forever? That no-obody should help us when we’re hurt?”
“......”
“Could you i-i-imagine it yourself? Feeling like gravity’s about to crush you… i-into small, mushy, toony bits?” 
“Where… where all yo-o-ou can do is panic, and hope? Because, at th-that point, there’s nothing you can do? No way to mov-ve, or call out… or anything.”
“...You’d want your fe-ellow toons to help you when you’re hur-ur-hurt and scared, wouldn’t you?”
The Toons do nothing.
“...Right. I’d h-hope so. At the mo-oment it may be all f-fun and games… and I wish it st-stayed that way. B-B-But we.. all know that isn’t the case.”
The Mechanician sighs, twitching more heavily than before.
“...”
“W-Well… perhaps this experience has.. given you some food for thought.”
The Mechanician pauses, seeing an opening in the roof from the battle. She looks at the Toons one last time, expression saddened.
“Now… i-if… if you’ll ex-excuse me. Seems… this repairwoman… n-needs some repairing, herself. Please… if you can help it… d-don’t come back.”
The Mechanician moves to fly away, but one of the toons walks ahead of the group, pausing near her. She pauses, watching the toon for a moment, before nodding.
“It’s okay, I understand. I-I-IIIIIIIIIII-”
“..I forgive you.”
The Mechanician flies away.
Ending Cutscene (Defeat)
The Mechanician reaches to her power core, hand hovering over it shakily. She is clearly in immense pain, her panic now reaching a boiling point as she realizes how injured she really is. Suddenly, her hands clench into fists and she quakes through the pain, knocking the toons off their feet.
“STOP!!!! THAT.. IS QUITE.. ENOUGH!!!”
She shakes her head, pulling her hands to her chest protectively and looking at the Toons as they rise to their feet.
“Why…?! I’ve been clear from the beginning that I didn’t want to fight! But… B-But you just won’t LISTEN!”
Her hands rise, holding her head in distress.
“Wh-What do you even get from this… from hurting me?!”
The Toons attack.
“Gh-!! ……Heartless… y-you’re all heartless!”
The Mechanician pauses, seeing an opening in the roof from the battle. She looks at the Toons one last time, expression disgusted.
“I see now… w-why the Chairman insists we fight you T-T-Toons. You’re just as cr-cruel as some of those suits can be.”
The Mechanician flies away.
Notes
[Sorry no specific Cheats past the usual ‘Cog Capacity’ and ‘Lure Resistance’ ones because my brain is kind of melting right now lol. Also no specific damages listed with each attack besides what I already said above about the minimum and maximum for the same reason.]
Another note about cheats, I know for certain she’d have a sort of healing cheat. Knowing her personality she’d end up healing herself, her allies AND the toons. She just wanna be frens :(
Attacks
Guilt Trip
Water Cooler
Brain Storm
Rolodex
Her employee ID is based on the approximate year the first motorized vacuum was invented.
Excluding her nickname "Chelly", her first, middle and last name are all based on various companies that produce vacuums.
I was initially going to have it that all rewards could be used, but with how cog Chelly is, she'd do anything to ensure that pink slips wouldn't be used. She thinks the canons would hurt the cogs, or that someone, toon or cog, might get hit in the crossfire.
also that 3rd drawing, the transparent one. sticker :)))))))))))

If you haven’t already could you please spare some thoughts on the replacement fellas…? 🤲
Oooo yes yes yes!!
They don't have as much as John and Jack (for obvious reasons) but I do have some stuff for them based off OG The Captain and Shotgun Man + general musings
Gonna do the same as I did for John and Jack, them separate and then together
Got surprisingly long again, so read more time!
The Captain - "Police, BITCH!" - Isn't actually the captain (that would be John, technically), still calls himself that - While on-shift his demeanor is close to that of The Captain from Every StoryTime Animation and Mokey's Show, more reserved and Shotgun's straight man. Off-shift he's a lot more goofy - Acts like he has the braincell, really doesn't - Has absolutely used "Police, BITCH!" on a suspect before - A massive flirt oh my god, and most of it is cheesy gestures and sappy pick up lines - Him pulling down his shades was him trying to flirt with Jack, John, and Patty - He's tried to flirt with Patty before and she does not care for it lol - Tried to flirt with Evermore on his first day on the job and nearly got fired - Most likely bi - Mans the tip line. It's pretty uneventful (as far as this town goes, anyway), but he's noticed that every now and then this gruff-voiced guy will anonymously call in to report child abuse cases - Oddly though, any tips related to the cult seem to go missing when he's on shift, if they're recorded at all… - Still has that grey brick of a flip phone. No he will not get a new one - Orders his contacts by name and then an emoji of something he associates with them, e.g. John 🚬, Jack 🍩, etc. -- this makes them easier to search for, in his opinion. The exception to this is Shotgun, whose contact is instead BFF ❤❤🙂 - Has ~mommy issues~ - Is the one who drives bc Shotgun would absolutely try to run over potential suspects - Shotgun is the bad bitch he pulled by being autistic /j - He is actually autistic tho! Undiagnosed, probably isn't aware he has it - His sunglasses are not only cool but hide how he's avoiding eye contact most of the time B) - Readjusts his tie constantly - If he doesn't want to deal with something he'll most likely just shoot it - His favorite donuts are plain with pink frosting and sprinkles the cliche donut lol - The guy ever, a little weird but definitely one of the more normal people in town
Shotgun Man - "SHOTGUN POW!!" - Usually just called Shotgun, Shotty, or SG/SGM - Still has the shotgun, no one knows why - I don't think he has the safety on- - Has threatened many a perp by shoving the barrel of his gun in their face - Absolute menace honestly, it's a wonder he hasn't been fired yet - Sometimes leans on his shotgun (the barrel is pointed at the floor, he's not that stupid) - Almost never refers to people by their first name, instead using titles or last names (e.g. Sheriff, Nurse, Velseb, etc.). For some reason Jerald is an exception, and Shotty will always refer to him by name - Mellows out slightly when around Captain. Slightly. - Gets control of the radio and all he plays is either heavy metal or stations no one's heard of - Probably eats at Boys n Grills - Does finger guns by putting his hands together to make a single big gun - Would get along great with Dexter - GNC AF, would wear a dress for fun - Runs on cartoon physics similar to Skid and Pump, but only when it would be funny - He has ADHD :> Unlike the others he's actually diagnosed, tho he doesn't take medication for it because of course he doesn't - "POW" is a vocal stim - When he’s feeling mischievous™ he’ll rub his hands together - Doesn't know what he is but it sure as hell ain't straight - On Valentines Day he went into the station early so he could jump Captain, Jack, and John and give them surprise smooches - However bc this is Shotty it ended up playing out like a horror movie lol - Generally just someone big on physical affection and PDA, and he loves to fluster people: slinging his arm around someone's shoulder, random hugs, kisses, that kinda thing - His favorite donuts are cake donuts and he will fight people for them - Just a silly goofy guy, I love him
Both - The cops before John and Jack were real - Braincell pecking order is Shotgun Man -> Jack -> Captain -> John - They were officers at another precinct before getting transferred, and Captain actually was the captain there - Both are still friends and in contact with Jerald (the swat guy) - Even tho Jack and John kept their jobs Evermore still hired Captain and Shotgun, if only to get the press off his back about underfunding the police - "See, they're not underfunded, I just hired two new officers!" (they are still heavily underfunded) - Really they just kinda goof around, Jack and John handle the more serious cases - When they are on a case, they're... semi-competent - They're also both shoot first, ask questions later - This isn't a hc but more so an idea, but if they show up again I want them to interact with the Hobomen, there is ample opportunity to recreate the "NOOOO, IT'S PISS!!" joke with Tankman and Shotgun and that would be so funny - Both of them realized real quick that John and Jack have feelings for each other and they are such teases about it - Captain is more subtle. Shotty, in comparison, once shouted "OH, JUST KISS ALREADY!" at the two - As for their relationship to each other… - No one can figure out what these two are to each other and they think that's hilarious - For real tho, they just like being around each other. They are a package deal, no matter what way you spin them, and they ain't gonna be separated - I like the idea that in general they're a lot more upfront and casual in their relationship, offers a nice contrast to John and Jack - This also means Captain gets the brunt of Shotty's affections! You'd think Captain would be used to it but Shotty always seems to find a new way to fluster him - Are horrible enablers to Jack's pranks, and regularly help him pull them - John is so exasperated by their antics, please save him - Dunno who came up with this initially but I got it from @mallory-vallory so: I like the idea that their actual names are Scott (Captain) and Sammy (Shotgun), feels fitting. Almost no one calls them by their actual names tho - Also there's this art by Ratzzle/Charlieratqueen on twitter of the two wearing patterned scarves during Contagious Christmas and it looks so cute so that is part of my headcanon for their winter clothes now pls and thank u - If they actually had to work with John and Jack on a case it'd be fucking chaos, good lordy - Overall they're dumbasses and bad at their jobs, but at least they get it done
I'm honestly surprised at how much I had for these guys! They're definitely not rotating as fiercely as the other cop duo, but I've still thought a lot about them, both their original and Spooky Month incarnations
I think they have great potential as a comedic foil duo to John and Jack, hope we see them again in later episodes

TheAnswer had some questions in their review on "Chapter 7: Scattered like spring flowers", and we thought it would be fun to answer them here! feel free to send us in any other questions/headcanon requests :)
I wonder if you could share some meta on what are the changes to canon in this story? This seems almost like a "what are the smallest changes necessary to get to a happier ending (or - if the jianghu had more than one braincell)".
so "what are the smallest changes necessary to get a happier ending" was definitely our original premise - this entire AU actually started as a discussion about that very concept and just sort of spiralled outwards! our very first small change was Meng Yao staying at Cloud Recesses for the lectures, which we figured would butterfly-effect outwards by giving him some actual friendships, as well as a closer relationship with Huaisang and an earlier one with Xichen, and that would potentially change his priorities and situation, and then... it goes on and on. our other key premises that we started with were "what if the live action show had an unlimited budget" - and from that we hugely expanded the war section and the amount of people that exist in the jianghu, and played with the use of magic - and other other key premise was... uh... "what if there were actually a reasonable amount of women in this world, and those women actually got to be interesting characters". which was what led us to giving Yanli her handmaidens, making Mianmian a POV character, populating the side character roster with lots of women, and bringing in Qin Su much earlier in the story.
what brought Qin Su's mother here?
hopefully that's pretty clear by now ;)
Why is Lan Xichen being the distraction who's going to get captured (and not Nie Mingjue)?
this decision wound up happening because of things that we extrapolated from canon - we think that in canon Mingjue is the one who leads the infiltration to Nightless City because he is unwilling to risk other people and thus gives himself the most dangerous role. we cannot think of any other good reason why the fuck someone with minus one in stealth would decide to play assassin, unless you want to dig really deep and try and find some sort of double bluff from Meng Yao to get someone into the city to kill Wen Ruohan and Meng Yao didn't want it to be Xichen because he doesn't want Xichen to get hurt but that starts to get way too overcomplicated!!!
so if we assume that Mingjue's top priority is going to be to keep the people he loves as reasonably safe as he can - without compromising the war effort - in a universe where Mingjue a. knows Meng Yao is the spy, b. knows that Meng Yao loves Xichen and will fight and kill to keep him safe, it makes sense for him to send Xichen as the distraction, because either:
the plan goes perfectly! Xichen gets into the city and kills Wen Ruohan, and the war is over and everyone is safe
the main plan is messed up and Xichen gets captured - but he gets held in a cell and kept safe by Meng Yao until Mingjue and the rest of the Sunshot forces arrive to kill Wen Ruohan and end the war
the plan is absolutely fucked. Xichen is captured and the Sunshot forces are destroyed. in this case, the safest place for Xichen to be is with Meng Yao, who Mingjue knows would move heaven and earth to make sure Xichen survives - and if Xichen manages to escape, that means there's someone who would look after Huaisang with Mingjue gone
there's also the fact that Mingjue is literally the general leading the entire Sunshot campaign, so the idea of him not being there for the LITERAL CLIMAX OF THE ENTIRE WAR to help lead and strategise is just ????? like. from a doyalist perspective obviously it happened beause the NieYao confrontation needed to be a thing but it really makes no tactical sense!!!

Like a million years ago the wonderful @altocat was answering a lot of ask about aus where Sephiroth had a sibling or siblings. And I saw one that made my braincells actually work about how Sephiroth's life or behavior would have changed with a much more science minded sibling that worked more directly under Hojo almost like Chadley.
I ended up making like an entire OC who I have a lot more stuff on than what's here but I'm not sure if I wanna keep posting it cause canon changing OCs are such a hassle and I know most people aren't super fond of them.
But here’s basically the story up to CC:
In this au Sephiroth is one in a pair of fraternal twins. (because we all know there’s no way in hell an entire separate instance of baby is happening there. I don’t care about the Costa de la sol scene Hojo doesn’t get bitches.)
Sephiroth and his sister Eden are both very promising and performed mostly on par for a large part of their childhood. While going through testing has little if any enjoyable parts they often minded the least what the other hated the most.
Eden goes through mandatory classes and mental tests like a game and tends to dread most physical tests and training. While Sephiroth tends to mentally clock out for class whenever he can get away with it and can’t wait for chances to burn all the frustration from being cooped up in the lab.
Sephiroth picks up his habit of being of very few words very young and it often leads to Eden speaking for him when it comes to interacting with the scientist, especially Hojo, in order to get things across. The both of them often cover up or try to explain situations where the other would get in trouble. Results on successful cover up or getting out of punishment vary.
All in all they’re extremely close siblings and when they’re introduced to the public and soon after put on the field fighting in Wutai, it seems like nothing will be changing.
Sephiroth is always quick to divert press and questions to Eden. Eden is always quick to trade for missions that were recon or stealth orientated.
Things begin to split.
Eden, despite what she would ever admit, clearly wants any approval and validation from Hojo she can get ahold of. Especially with having much more interest in science and tech than the battlefield she was designed for. Monsters with oddities or mutations she often records or even snags a small sample off of to bring back to the science department like a cat with a dead bird. She’s a weasel, says exactly what needs to be heard to get what she wants. Praise, attention, recognition, she spends hours pouring over papers and journals, volunteers to help with anything she can get her hands on in that lab. She’s a little too comfortable with “playing the game” of science department politics and has the intention to win. It gets under Sephiroth's skin, that after all they’ve been through somehow she still is so enamored by anything that happens under the watch of that awful man.
Sephiroth quickly becomes the star of the war. His combat is efficient, and extremely destructive. But most of all it’s an escape, it’s a sign of his worth, his strength, that he is not the child in the lab cowering behind his sister. And he never will be again. The death doesn’t matter to him, the reason doesn’t matter to him. While in theory he understands that he is killing and this war, but he’s so divorced from comprehending what that really means. This is the closest to freedom he’ll ever get. No one is telling him what to do mid battle. He takes no pleasure in the violence but it’s his only purpose and only goal. It’s the only thing that gets him out of watchful eyes. The carelessness of it horrifies Eden, she can’t comprehend how he sees the war as anything but a loss of life no matter how much propaganda they were raised on. Life is fascinating and complicated and each one has vast connections and he doesn’t care.
Genesis and Angeal being added to the mix hurts and helps.
It softens up Sephiroth a little emotionally, instils a little empathy. It gives something positive for Eden to associate with SOLDIER work. They get jealous over each other in their own petty and quiet ways. Jealous of their new friends paying attention to the other, but also for the first time not being the only people in each other's lives. But in general it seems to be mending things.
Then a mission goes extremely wrong.
SOLDIER accelerated healing is a blessing and a curse. It keeps Eden from dying from an otherwise lethal injury even for a SOLDIER, but when your spine is shattered and it begins healing immediately around all those shards out of place, it creates irreversible damage.
Things can be done of course. With all the technology and magic that Shinra has available it’s surely fixable.
To an extent.
Eden is lucky to be able to walk at all even after all the surgeries and healing. They assure her her recovery will be quick because of her enhancements. They assure her she will be able to fight again and she’ll be moving around without pain and without aid in no time.
She doesn’t believe them.
Hojo trusts her under no one else’s watch but she can’t be useless while she recovers. He needs a lab assistant anyway, the last one chickened out. It will only be a few months.
A few months turns into a year.
And then two.
And Eden has only just now been able to make it through days without a cane but only when feeling at her best.
It hits everyone that the lab job is permanent.
Just like that they’ve had their first loss of a first class, and she’s still alive and well. Reviewing sim data and making sure what used to be her peers are in good health.
Sephiroth has a sneaking suspicion she’s happier this way. And he should be happy for her not having to be in the war. Not having to kill when it affected her so much. But he can’t, because all he can see in her is just the next Hojo. He’s holding his breath for the day she also crosses that line of ethics. That line of hubris. It isn’t hard to see her inch closer and closer.

season 3 is inherently flawed(and a rewrite/how i would fix it)
warning:this post is LONG. like...really REALLY long. it took me so long to write that i think i genuinely lost my mind and patience half way through because of how angry i got so i kept writing more. you have been warned!also feel free to criticize and disagree.i'm not a writer,and i don't know if i articulate my thoughts in the best way,but i tried.
so most of us agree that s3 is def the worst season of Galactik Football, right? The art and animation got worse, the editing was weird, and because the original writers of the series werent involved, the entire season was written like absolute shit: everything goes way too fast or way to slow, the characters are all assasinated or just act like braindead robots who do things for no apparent reason(aka because the plot is incapable of being organic so it needs to FORCE its characters into doing things they would never do if they had 2 braincells...) etc etc. But something i often find brought up as a positive is the concept of the season(NOT the execution) but honestly....im not sure i agree.
the concept of the season is that because of this new tournament, players with any kind of flux are allowed to play in any team! Now this sounds cool on paper...but in execution? not really. and thats not just because s3 is incompetent.
 I think this concept doesnt work because it has nothing to do with the snow kids. Theyre the main characters, they should get the focus. Every SK already has the breath of akillian and they care about each other very much,they also work very well together because of this, so they dont have a reason to recruit new people, especially ones with different kinds of flux. Now, theres a solution to this: the dreaded moment where a character(or multiple characters) decide to leave the team to make way for the new character. But theres also a problem with that: people dont like it when you replace beloved characters with new ones(especially ones as bland and uninteresting as Lun-zia). SO the solution to THAT would be to show what that last character was up to after they left,just like before,in the previous seasons. but then that doesnt fix anything AT ALL actually,because the problem of sharing screentime is still there. You see the problem? for every problem solved at least 3 more show up. You cant fix something that wasnt broken,aka the SK team.
the characters that leave the SK are Mei(shadows), Yuki(electras(a team that we never heard of before so theres also that)), and Djok(who joins Paradisia,the most basic,boring rivals and villains this series has ever had. they are actually so bland that the writers made them part robot to justify just how 1 dimensional all their decisions are). The 1 who joins the SK is Lun-zia, a basic,bland character with no personality who only serves as a way for the writers to introduce the 500th boring ass love drama that goes nowhere. wonderful. You would think that after they set up that idea earlier,and with how bland Lun-zia is,that they would at least do something interesting with the concept,right? WRONG. They do absolutely nothing interesting with the mix flux idea in every team. It might as well not have been there.
[The reason why mix flux teams arent allowed in the cup is very simple, everything makes sense because the world pre s3 made sense. A person can join any team they like,as long as they switch to the flux of the team they are joining because they will be representing THAT PLANET. Its also the reason why the pirates dont use flux even though they probably have it: they represent Shiloe, a place with no flux of it own. If they were to use the flux,they would be using a flux that another team already has and is using to represent THEIR planet. (OH and yet another thing about s3 that doesnt make sense , if the pirates can use the flux now, WHY DONT THEY?? jfc every time u think u hit rock bottom this season suprises u with how horribly thought out it is)]
this all isnt even MENTIONING the fact that the tournament was USELESS. actual time wasting for almost the entire season. Because later on, after Paradisia gets fucked, Harris(the ACTUAL villain that HAD setup unlike the generic,out of nowhere, dumbass, out of place oc that is “Lord Phoenix/Magnus Blade”(god thats such a stupid fucking name)) forces the flux society to hold the GFC 3 years early(cuz the cup takes place every 4 years and s3 is set a year after s2) AND THEY DO. so....WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE TOURNAMENT????!!!
I am actually going insane.this season is so bad. never have i seen such misuse of plot,worldbuilding,characters and setting. You have no idea how long this post is taking to write because as i keep writing i keep finding worse and worse things to say and keep coming to even more horrifying conclusions. its like a never ending pit, full of plot holes and ruined characters.Someone was paid to ruin this series.Let that sink in. But i think i will just give you a rewrite now. A basic fix that whatever lobotomite who wrote s3 couldnt be bothered with. Its very barebones so feel free to add on or tell me if its shit
HOW I WOULD FIX IT: 
just drop the mix flux idea entirely. The cup would never allow it and in my universe the tournament wouldnt exist because it had no prior buildup and was completely useless. Instead of wasting time on that,empty romance subplots and annoying unfunny jokes, i would focus on the aspect of people leaving the team to join another that was never fleshed out. Also build up(in s3 Djok and Mei had their arguments basically off screen and the decision to leave was robotic and would absolutely never happen that fast, Also Yukis decision made no sense too and had no build up.)
The season would start with the GFC taking place 3 years early, everyone is confused and frustrated and unprepared. It would be a mystery until its revealed Harris blackmailed the flux society like he did in s3. Under the pressure, Djok would be an asshole which would then cause Mei to leave to join the shadows,albeit more slowly.Perhaps have her be manipulated/persuaded by Sinedd,he did always hang around people at their lowest points (Djok,Rocket).Plus i think Mei would be a lot more comfortable joining the shadows since she got used to coach Artegor in s2 which would help pursuade her. I always felt that the shadows should have gotten more focus for being the main rival team, and now we have a chance for that now that both Mei and Sinedd are there. Have the team interact! Show how Mei is adapting to the team/enviorment/flux. Also Mei and Sinedd dont need to date each other. Mei can be single,dammit. 
Mei leaving because of Djok(and also dumping him) would be devestating to Djok as he can never admit to his wrongs. Yuki takes her place, but ultimately decides to leave because of the pressure and stress Djok is putting her in as well(in s2,he was being an asshole to her just for replacing Ahito while he was unwell,can you imagine how he would be if she were replacing his ex girlfirend instead?). Mark ends up taking the defense position and everyone, especially Micro Ice chew out Djok for one last time,telling him to stop being a selfish prick and that hes pushing everyone away(SERIOUSLY WE DONT NEED HIM TO LEARN THAT FOR THE FIFTH TIME). Rocket is the captain again because hes responsible.
 We would focus a lot more on Yuki and Mei,as well as everyone dealing with the fact they will have to compete against their friends. Mei would be trying really hard to intergrate with the shadows even though she knows the smog is harmful to someone as emotional as her(maybe have her mom put pressure on her again because shes the defender in a new team which is bad for popularity,as well as Sinedd because hes just Like That.(yes,Mei is staying a defender in this.she has been established to be the best in defense and im not having Fulmugus pushed out of attacker position,hes still an attacker and captain)). Combine the stress of leaving her friends,breaking up with her bf,her mom putting pressure on her and joining a new team, and Mei is an emotional mess which isnt good because of the smog. Eventually she gives up and tells Sinedd (who she has formed a friendship with)as well s the rest of the team that she just cant deal with the smog and that she knows its bad for her,and that shes going back. Sinedd doesnt take this well because of his abandonment issues(i mean cmon...hes been abandoned by p much everyone except the shadows at this point) and basically starts a fight with her in the middle of traning. Sinedd blows up at her,calling her a coward and a quitter(because in his mind,the side effects dont matter,the most important thing is the tournament and he thinks shes using it as an excuse to abandon him) and Mei yells back at him that hes pushed everyone away just like Djok(OOO PARALLELS) which pisses Sinedd off more to the point where both of them are either on the verge of tears,or on the verge of fighting each other. The only thing holding them back is the other shadow players who have basically just been watching them like :0 this entire time. Thats when Artegor asks Mei if she wants to leave and go back to the SK. She says yes but doesnt know how to. Artegor gives her advice based on his own experiences(OOO PARALLELS EXCEPT WITH AARCH AND ARTEGOR THIS TIME). Mei would come back,but Djok is still cold towards her,except he regularly gets chewed out by the other SK for this which makes Mei feel better.
 That entire yelling fit that happened with Sinedd would kick off his arc. That plot point in s2 where Artegor is being responsible with the smog and is worried for Sinedds health wouldnt be wasted. S2 didnt have time to show Artegor being a better coach and person to his team but I DO. Have Sinedd confused with how much better he treats them(kind of like in the fanfic “consequences” on ao3) and also kind of upset because he doesnt know how being cared for feels like!! he just thinks artegor has gotten soft and weak because he actually cares about sinedds health now. The shadows are confused too but mostly just concerned with Sinedd instead. Like...”yeah its normal for coaches to look out for ur health...we didnt tell u because we thought you knew and were just cool with Artegors harsh teaching methods”. So OOPS!! Sinedd finds out what having a family feels like and he doesnt know if he likes it !! feeling vulnerable and having people and parental figures care about you? disgusting...hes crying now and it kicked off his personality redemption arc
As for Yuki, i dont know what team she would join,or even if she would join a team at all. She doesnt do well under pressure. I would focus on her feeling like her only role in the team was being a replacement, first for Ahito,then Tia, then Mei. Those kinds of thoughts are a BITCH to deal with alone, so i would have someone in the SK(perhaps Mark,since he knows how it feels) seek her out and reassure her that the team still cares about her even if she left.
MORE THINGS HAPPEN IDK HOW TO CONTINUE
now u might be wondering how im ending this...im genuinely sorry but i have no idea. i havent finished watching s3 yet so i have nothing to work with or compare things to...again im sorry but im not a writer. The entire point of this post is to show i think s3 sucks so hard its actually mind numbing. I spent what feels like hours writing this post and my fingers hurt. Feel free to add on because im so tired i have no more steam left. Just so u know,i could GO ON about why s3 is horrible,i could fill one of those 3 hour youtube essays just with that,but as stated i am SO TIRED. s3 ruined a good show...its characters,worldbuilding,setting, EVERYTHING. And why? because instead of giving this last season to the og writers and ending it deserved, they got some fucking rando who writes worse scripts than i did in kindergarden. They ruined it. There probably should have been a clearer conclusion to this post but WHAT IS THE POINT. We all know s3 sucks ! it just sucks so hard that none of us can quite articulate all of it without our fingers falling off. Again,sorry for not ending this properly but i have lost what feels like all of my patience with s3 inhabiting any space in my mind...and also my fingers hurt

Day 24: Pickles, Ramirez, Victoria and some extras
The cast! We got information about the agents and Victoria!
@shields-and-depthgauges-oh-my translated their cards, so I'm just going to give my honest opinion about what the card could mean for each character.
Tumblr media
- Pickles is an idiot.
- Sorry, "idiot" is a strong word. He's a dummy (correct me if this is a strong word too, english isn't my first language)
- Maybe a himbo.
- He most likely will take Ramirez' acomplishments as his own.
- But also maybe people will assume Pickles is the one who is resolving the case while not acknowledging Ramirez.
- Which goes pretty well with the feeling of being recognized.
- To be fair, I don't have enough clips or information about this man.
- But I like him WAY better than Ryan and his mean group.
- A little disappointed he is not as intelligent as I gave him the credit.
- He is to police what Tad is to archeology, kind of.
- So that means the theory I made months (a year?) ago about him not being great at his job could be canon.
- Probably will think Mummy is a guy with a mummy/monster disguise.
- Eh, I still want him to react to Mummy.
- At least the last statement hints that he has a heart deep down.
- That's fine by me. Also he funny, neat.
Conclusion: Your typical gringo agent 🇺🇸
Tumblr media
- Powerful mexican woman.
- Truest definition of 🎶 You are the man, but I got the power 🎶
- Truly competent on her job.
- She has all the braincells of the two.
- The second most intelligent woman in the Tad's franchise after Sara.
- Or before Sara?
- Looks like she isn't in a relationship.
- Only paired up with Pickles because plot says so.
- I wanna see the relationship of these two (job relationship btw)
- Ramirez looks young while Pickles look like he could be older than Tad but younger than Proffesor Lavroff.
- Will be frustrated because Pickles get all the credit on the case.
- Maybe that's why she lets Tad go at the end of the movie?
- Can you believe we haven't hear her voice yet?
- Her voice actress is a mexican woman. I wonder how her voice will contrast to those who speak in Spain spanish.
- Will find out about the mummies and is the only one who can track them down thanks to Mummy's instagram but at the end she will understand they mean no harm and will let them go in peace.
Conclusion: This is an Agent Ramirez's stan account 🇲🇽
Tumblr media
- Friend from the institute? Remembering little wars?
- Was she Tad's friend when studying archeology?
- Or... was she SARA'S friend back when she was studying to follow her father's footsteps?
- In the first case it would make sense as to why she contacts Tad to tell him about the table.
- But here's the thing: Remembering little wars.
- Why would an old rival want to help him getting the fame he craves?
- Unless she wants to gain that fame as well. The recognition.
- Be Tad or Sara's old friend, this woman studied archeology. Only to leave it all to the paranormal stuff that she broadcastes on her TV show.
- What happened? Did she had an encounter with a ghost and that changed her whole world view?
- Probably quit archeology and embraced the ocult, earning the laughs and discontent from others.
- But there's a reason I SO WANT Victoria to be Sara's old friend.
- She could be a parallel to Mummy.
- She is excentric and odd. Most likely a funny woman, all of what Sara lacks.
- It would explain why is she in that Egypt screenshot with Sara.
- Sara will have none of her patient for her. Only teaming up with her to find Tad and her friends.
- Maybe Sara found out she is the reason Tad and Company are wanted in the first place. She will be annoyed with her, just like Tad is with Mummy.
- It could explain why, when hugging Ra-Amon-Ah, she is by Sara's side and Mummy is by Tad's side.
- Not to separate boys and girls, but the pair up old friends.
- A neutral character who has the potential to betray old friends for fame but recoving her senses at the end.
Conclusion: She is truly a mystery worth solving 👻🔎
Also there are these tweets of the duo:
Tumblr media
Tad: You looking for a place on the beach and I the emerald tablet 🤦🏻‍♂️
Mummy: If I have to go with you to seach for the emerald tablet, I will go, period.
These two I swear, they have their problems and miscommunications but are way more healthy than Stoliz.
And finally Mummy posted on his Tik Tok a video about him eating Tad's sandwich which comes from the little slice of life videos from the sequel, but I'm glad they get posted to promote the third movie since that would mean more people will be able to see them.

Some shameless self promotion to get started.
Galaxy Adventures! Character intro;
Tumblr media
Base is used in pic, but character is mine
Meet Sarah! Real last name unknown
"Well hello friend. Are you here for a rest, or here for directions. None the less, it's wonderful to see you again."
Age: 16
Height: 159.9 cm
A young light spirit who used to be human before her birth world was completely reset. Her, along with many many others who have survived the same thing, now resides in the newly created world of Solaria and works to help keep other worlds and universes from facing the same fate as hers.
Travels to numerous worlds under the protection of the GDD and her new found status, to attain her ultimate goal.
Very sleepy girl, angry marshmallow
In the world of TWST
Finds herself, along with a few loved ones, guarding young Yuu as they try to survive Night Raven College and their numerous problems
Commonly fills in Yuu's role of therapist once it becomes too much
Runs around either helping people, talking to people, stalking people, or causing minor problems
Naps anywhere and everywhere
She's attached
You wouldn't think she'd be in Genshin
But she is ( ╹▽╹ )
Forged herself a fake anemo vision
Sticks to the Traveller the entire time, she was separated from her family
Does not like Paimon, the feelings are mutual
Uses a scythe!
(Enemies do a double take upon seeing that)
Imagine you wanna talk to the famous traveller after hearing of their amazing exploits,
You have to get through a pesky fairy thing and a small girl giving ya the most threatening smile manageable (they protective)
Welcome to Jojo's
She cried upon arrival
Calmed down real quick though
Stays through all the parts, she wants to sleep more now
The introduction of stands to this world has confused her, but she thinks it's all cool
Jonathan is still her favorite JoJo, he gave her food upon first meeting
She's way attached
She cried multiple times here
Marshmallow is sensitive
Konosuba what?
She never knew a lot about Konosuba other than the fact that our MCs are all weird and useless in some way
She still wasn't prepared
Wanted to punch Aqua as soon as she opened her mouth
"I am nonviolent, however I will gladly throw a chair at your face."
All said with a sweet smile on her face
Loves every explosion Megumin causes, got hit by 60% of 'em though
Darkness low-key scares her
*Kazuma uses steal on her* "Jokes on you, I have another pair!"
High-key tries to befriend literally every big enemy
Let's fly high!
This time, she spawned in someone's home, awkward
The Hinata family was so confused but ultimately just went with the flow(after a whole scream session of course)
Hinata's mom decided to flat out enroll her into Karasuno as well
Yay, she has to go to school all over again (⌐■-■)
She clings to Shoyo, almost everywhere
Meeting the team was fun for her, she hid behind a door the entire time, only found out because of our queen Kiyoko
Clingsss
Climbs everything she sees, she's gonna give Suga and Daichi a heart attack
It's so Miraculous!
She was so bitter when she was assigned to watch over this world.
But! She's got her friends
Tatiana and Cassidy, and numerous other friends who thankfully know just how to calm her down
She begrudgingly befriended Marinette and Adrien
Ignores Alya completely
Dotes on Chloe and Mylene
Currently trying to curb some of Marinette's worst habits
"Mari, she's only talking to him. That doesn't necessarily mean that she's trying to date him. Adrien's dense as a rock anyway."
Still wonders why people don't get the Marinette and Adrien are Ladybug and Cat Noir
Probably losing braincells
Naruto running from responsibilities
She also cried here
Too many keep taking her soft appearance and assuming that she won't hit them
Not to mention that everyone here talks about her quiet voice and lack of presence
She made up multiple jutsu on the spot just to spite them and cause them pain
"Forget you no Jutsu: Bug Off" *target goes flying miles away*
Has a ball exploring
Would like it if all the ninja villages would stop trying to use her though
Stays literally no where anyone can find her
She nabbed at Naruto as soon as she saw the kid, he now lives in a wonderful little home she built in the village
No one questions how she doesn't age
Despite her loving this place, she still grabs at the next chance to jump back to Solaria
Black Butler?
Save this girl
Her being is similar to that of an angel, Sebastian tried to discretely kill her multiple times
Now uses Ciel and literally anyone else as a shield
Thankfully after proving to be useful enough, Ciel decided to keep her so he ordered Sebastian to stop his assassination attempts
The fiend is bitter about it
Sarah clings once more, she dotes on poor Ciel
He got mad
So she clings to Alois once he finally pops up
Mad that people keep trying to kill her, so she just pwns them and leaves
"Running from world to world is oh so exhausting. Maybe I should just sleep some more. That usually fixes everything."

I just don’t get Sonadow. Maybe it’s because I view them more as rivals so much that I don’t see how that will shift their relationship to lovers at all. I do like seeing small moments of these two bonding when Sonic isn’t as snarky and Shadow isn’t as closed off but that’s it. No hate to people who like Sonadow but I just can’t see them together as a couple.
I'm the last person you should ask then 😂
Gay rival ships are, by far, the most popular ships in a fandom, it's just facts - Drarry, Sasunaru, Narumitsu (for a value of rivals from the third game onward), Kazumaji (also more or less), just on the top of my head, fans see two men glaring at each other and their collective braincell goes "but what if they kissed tho 😳"
(I'm not superior to this btw. I've also fallen in the same trap. Gay rival ships are appealing for a reason)
Anyway... I don't care for Sonadow because I simply don't care for their rivarly.
Maybe it's because I played Heroes and ShTH before SA2 so I just have never experienced the hype around the character, but I think Shadow is the weakest rival for Sonic. The two... smacktalk a little? They've fought... three times? Four if you count the non canon endings of ShTH? I don't feel the connection, I don't feel the intimacy, I don't feel the deep personal bond that characterizes rival ships. Their parallels are weak (I can't see Shadow as "Sonic but dark", he's just Shadow, his unique person), their rivarly is barely there, the closest thing to a bonding moment they have is when Shadow compliments Sonic for pulling off a Chaos Control with a fake Emerald. My favorite banter of theirs is still "Not you again" "Nice to see you too" in ShTH, but as funny as it is, it's not enough to convince me that the two think of each other as special.
This is why I much prefer Sonuckles and Sonegg. Sonic and Knuckles walk the line between friends and rivals, and the two clash under many aspects: speed vs. strength, freedom vs. duty, chillness vs. hotheadedness... but they care for each other, and you can tell because they help each other even after they just fought for a silly reason. As for Sonegg, they're by far the closest enemies and their relationship is quite unique, they absolutely are as close as rivals tend to be, even if they genuinely hate each other and there's next to no fondness between them unless you consider eggman's bio in origins canon. Hell, at this point even Sonurge makes more sense, at least Surge has the excuse that she's programmed to be obsessed with him!
(just to be clear, I don't always ship with the objective of seeing two characters fall in love. I can appreciate a non-romatic ship too! But Sonadow is often depicted in a cute romantic way, so...)
I don't see any of that in Sonadow, and I wonder if I just missed something lol. But considering that a lot of people ship because ~aesthetic~, even if it doesn't make sense (there are some popular ships I can't stand for this reason...), I just stopped to be bothered.
Sonic and Shadow becoming close friends and allies? Absolutely a development I love to see. Them falling in love? Why? They can absolutely appreciate each other as people, but there's that spark missing. Them just having a fuckbuddies relationship? Not nearly enough tension for that IMO. Shadow's best bond is with Rouge and you can't change my mind :)
