thinkin about family members & next gen for liw

Henry's Family

April &Thackery: April is Henry's mother. She's from a small farm in the Heart's Countyside. Thackery is Henry's dad. He used to be in a band (haha references) & was pretty wild but eventually settled down and became a doctor (he's also from the Clubs Kingdom). They're pretty good parents and tried their best for their kids.

May: Henry's older sister. She's an actress that often appears in shows/concerts held by the singing flowers.

Augustus & Octavius: Henry's younger brothers, also twins. They help their parents with the farm.

Jasper's Family

Silver: Jasper's late wife. She was a thief from the Spade Kingdom -- the two meeting by chance when she tried to steal from him. He admired both her audacity and stealthiness.

Violet: Jasper's only remaining daughter. Like her dad she likes causing chaos but unlike her dad she's kinda bad at it so she lives in StoryBrooke & annoys them instead.

While Jasper & Silver had more kits, they (along with Silver) were unfortunately killed by a bandersnatch.

Thomas' Family

Reign: Thomas' wife. She works as a chef for the Heart/Hart Family.

Abigail: Thomas' daughter. She is slightly better at managing her anxiety and gets around using rollerskates. Unfortunately, she's also very clumsy, so she trips/crashes into things a lot. She also has no sense of direction, making her get lost very easily. Despite this, she's still the only deliverer Ruby trusts.

Heart/Hart Family

Ruby: The Princess of Hearts. She doesn't really get along with her parents (namely her mother) and lives in StoryBrooke instead, working as a mafia boss.

Absalom's Family

Azure: Absalom's daughter. She has no mother, as she was technically...built by Absalom. Or, the system he's hooked up to. I don't think I've spoken about what he is yet but his body is kinda fucked up and so is Azure's! She is very artificial looking, not even trying to hide the fact that she's an android/robot. Everything about her (& her "father") is off, and the smoke that's always surrounding her doesn't help. She's also the Blue Fairy in the Tale "Pinocchio".

Intro Post

Hello! Welcome to Ask Icy’s Agents, a askblog of @snowy-squids. This is my first time running an askblog, so please be patient!

Rules

NSFW asks will be deleted. Though all my agents are over 18, this is a purely SFW blog

Asks must be addressed to a certain character, or all 4 agents!

Asks will also be accompanied by a small answer doodle!

Please no M!A asks! I do plan to possibly do ask games, however.

I am open to interaction and references to other blogs!

Characters

Violet Toyama (Captain 3)

-Genderqueer, she/they/xe

-24

The jaded captain of the Squidbeak, who is not happy with having to be in charge. She doesn’t like Agent work and the things she has done, but stays due to being close to the rest of the Squidbeak. She and Callie have been in a relationship for a few months, both characters are the same age.

Abigail Torres (Agent 4)

-Trans woman, she/her

-21

Hired on a whim, Abigail is the most upbeat of the group, using jokes to try and hide her experiences with the Squidbeak. She is outgoing and loves the presence of others, considering the group to be her closest friends. Has a twin brother, David.

Samantha Blanc (Agent 8)

-Nonbinary, she/her

-24

The most prickly and closed off of the group. Samantha has a tendency to push people away from her, only trusting a select few people. Samantha is currently recovering from the events of Side Order, and most of her memory being restored. Is Violet’s Queerplatonic Partner

Mike (Neo 3) and Fishfry

-Trans boy, he/him

-23

The newest member of the Squidbeak who works part time as a courier. He is nonverbal, and a bit withdrawn. However, he is resourceful, and has a love of travel.

Please note that RoTM is not canon to this blog and Mike’s storyline.

Fishfry is Mike’s Smallfry companion, a stray Salmonid left behind during a Big Run. Mike adopted them, and the two are close.

Shadows of the SOUL

In this AU, Frisk (now Abigail) wakes up in the underground world of Undertale, but everything is different. The monsters are still friendly and kind-hearted, but they are also struggling to survive in a world that is slowly being consumed by darkness. Abigail must navigate through the underground, fighting against shadowy creatures and attempting to uncover the truth about the source of the darkness. As they progress through the underground, they discover that the darkness is a manifestation of the characters' own negative emotions and experiences. The monsters' past traumas and regrets have created a rift in reality, allowing the darkness to seep in and consume everything. Abigail must help the characters confront their own demons and come to terms with their past in order to restore balance to the world, or destroy it by fueling the darkness. Abigail's interactions with the characters will determine whether they are able to overcome their inner demons or end the world by releasing Deo Noir, the God of Hyperdarkness. In the final battle, Abigail must face the manifestation of the darkness itself, which takes on a form that is a combination of each characters' deepest fears, stop Armageddon and kill Deo Noir, or fuse with them and try to kill Dea Blanc, the God of Hyperbrightness, in order to end the world.

BSD! OC! Ryūnosuke Niihara |P2

-:Ability:-

Main memo: RAU! Abigail/Suke Harris [P10]-[P11]

Niihara's Ability, Flawless Dispute (天イムホ 羅生門,, Ten'imuho rashōmon), allows him to materialize a marionette dagger-wielding phantom, known as Ryūnosuke, which only follows the orders of those that know it's name. When retrieving contradicting orders, it has the free will to choose unless it is from Niihara, in which the other person's will have priority.

The orders however, do not only affect the Ability, but also Niihara himself. It also allows him to utilize the marionette strings by using the thread of an inhabited piece of clothing, he used this to make others believe that Phantom has a cloth manipulation ability. Both the phantom's blades and threads can cut through anything.

Flawless Dispute (天イムホ 羅生門,, Ten'imuho rashōmon)

Color: Green

Manga Debut: Lost Souls, Suke Arc

Anime Debut: Bungou Stray Dogs: Lost Souls, Suke Arc

Light Novel Debut: A Phantom's Tale

Ability: Thread Manipulation, Materialized Guardian

--

-:Etymology:-

• The name Ryūnosuke means 'dragon' (龍/ryū), 'of' (之/no) and 'son' (介/suke). Meaning 'Son of Dragon'.

• Niihara means 'new' (新/shin) and 'original' (原/hara)

--

Namesake: The protagonist of Disbute of the Flawless Vol 1

-:Trivia:-

Only his Namesake's given name 'Ryūnosuke' is known, his last name 'Niihara' is from Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's birth name

In the Paris Arc, Sandboy is the final Akuma

Tentōchū, Ladybug! Gin, has a Red Peony in their hair

There is an original episode called Flawless Dispute, centered around Tsushima being in Paris and setting off Niihara's fuse

Another original Akuma is one that exaggerates the targets physical weakness, this caused Lordbug to cough up blood under his mask and be unable to stand

Niihara was murdered for two reasons,

1) The Hinata's found out how to control his Ability

2) And an order from the Port Mafia Boss because he was starting to defect from the organization and bringing Kouyou along with him

He slowly grew to trust Atsushi before he was revealed as a Rat, even revealing his identity to the Weretiger

Ryūnosuke grew to respect Chuuya Kagami from their time in the Mafia

Rubi (流火/Ryūka), Gin's Mafia Alias, means 'flow' (流/Nagare) and 'fire' (火/Hi). Together this means 'drifting fire'

In the Tower Arc, Phantom pretends to be a client for the agency using the Alias 'Suke Agura'

Phantom Kidnaps Atsushi by befriending and luring him alone

Phantom looses the fight on the ship (like cannon BSD), despite the whole deck being covered in cloth

His Agura appearance is one he commonly uses in the Mafia if he wants people to know it's him, but still goes by Phantom

Because of his paranoia, Niihara often had a wide eyed stare

𓆩 ♰ 𓆪 ❝ AIW ❞ ━━━━ ✦  ( looking @ my aiw next gen ocs like are yall canon?? do u work in the timeline?? what is goin on here. can u pls give me a personality to work with or something. literally anything other than a name, vague design idea && maaybbeee 1 or 2 traits. )

━━━━ ✦  ( so uhm. shit to figure out i guess: )

Mouse Triplets. are they canon?? bc its a cute idea but idk if Morphie would have kids...or who he'd have kids with. I'd say maybe I can make them his sisters or cousins instead but he's an orphan, so...that would not work...they might be able to work as Finn/Carrie/Rosemary's friends! Maybe each kid gets a little mouse friend oh thatd be cute...

Finnegan & Carrie. which one is Alice's child & which one is her grandchild/Rosemary's parent. feel like I have a semi solid idea of what I want with them.

Where do Azure, Violet, & Abigail live?? bc Ruby definitely lives in StoryBrooke. it'd make sense for Abigail to live / be with her but I also don't think she'd wanna leave her dad in Wonderland. have 0 clue about Violet, she probably travels between the two worlds often. Azure...probably takes over her dad's library at some point so she stays in Wonderland. I think, idk bc I also see her as more tech-focused?? hard to describe but I kinda see her hooked up to the internet / computers & stuff.

━━━━ ✦  ( none of this is super important now bc I'm still on s1 of liw [which might even answer some of these questions] & these guys come in during either s2 or s3 but still. I like to know where I'm going lol. )

Cauchemar.

Au bord d'un lac. L'eau noire, opaque. Le reflet de la lune la caressant. Sur la rive, des saules pleureurs, courbés. Leurs racines, à moitié enfoncées dans l'eau. Leurs troncs, noirs. Froid, très froid. Glacial. Silence. Un silence surnaturel. Aucun vent. Aucun bruissement de feuille – il n'y en a pas sur les arbres morts. Aucun clapotis de l'eau. Silence. Tout au bord de l'eau. Ta main, blanche, fine. Une main jaune, jaillie des flots. Aucun bruit. Aucune vague. Juste vos mains. L'autre serre ton poignet. Avec une force surhumaine. Il casse. Aucun cri – le tien, bloqué dans ta gorge, t'étouffe. La main te tire, t'entraîne sous l'eau. Froide, très froide. Glaciale. Aucun air. Douleur. Une douleur surnaturelle. Inimaginable. Indescriptible. Celle qui précède la mort. Celle à qui personne n'a survécu pour la décrire. Douleur. Les branches des saules capturent ta taille. Tu ouvres les yeux, mais aucune lumière. Noir. Le noir de l'enfer. Et tu y descends. Soudain, dans un flash, le visage de la personne à qui appartient la main apparaît. Long, émacié, aussi blanc que la Lune. Des yeux morts. Noirs. Te fixent. Empoisonnés. Et tu coules. Tu coules. Tu meurs. Tu coules.

-*-

La maison des Archer est plongée dans l'obscurité, embrumée de sommeil. Par la fenêtre, Shel peut apercevoir les étoiles, mais la lune est masquée par les nuages. Après être allé aux toilettes, le petit garçon, âgé de quatre ans, remonte les escaliers pour retrouver son lit. Cependant, au milieu du couloir, il s'arrête. Il a entendu un bruit. Fronçant les sourcils, le petit brun tend l'oreille. Les bruits, qui ressemblent à des sanglots étouffés, viennent de la chambre d'Headley. Shel est très étonné : son grand frère ne pleure jamais – sauf lorsqu'il tente de manipuler quelqu'un. Puis, il se rappelle qu'il n'est pas le seul à dormir ici : depuis un mois, une jeune fille partage sa chambre : Abigail Filch, sa meilleure amie.

Shel se souvenait comme si c'était hier de son arrivée. C'était le 7 juillet 2012. Il devait être vingt heures, car ils sortaient de table. On a frappé à la porte. C'est Headley qui est allé ouvrir. D'habitude, il ne s'encombrait jamais de cette tâche – peut-être avait-il pressenti que c'était très important. Le petit garçon les avait espionnés, caché dans les escaliers qui donnaient vue sur l'entrée. Dehors, un orage avait éclaté, et il pleuvait beaucoup. La jeune fille qui se tenait sur le pas de la porte était trempée. Elle a fait peur à Shel la première fois qu'il l'a vue : pâle, maigre, sale, épuisée, elle n'avait pas l'air tout à fait en vie. Elle avait l'air sur le point de tomber en miettes. En voyant son frère, elle a fondu en larmes. Des sanglots déchirants, les mêmes que ceux qui résonnaient aux oreilles de Shel en ce moment. Headley l'a prise dans ses bras, et elle s'est effondrée contre lui, comme si elle n'avait plus aucune force, plus aucune vie.

Ses parents sont arrivés à leur tour. La surprise passée, le premier réflexe de Zoe a été de donner une couverture à Abigail. Jordan lui a fait un chocolat chaud et l'a invitée à manger le reste de pâtes à la bolognaise. Une fois cela fait, ils l'ont nvitée à prendre une douche pour se réchauffer, et Zoe lui a prêté des vêtements. Pendant que la jeune fille se douchait, Jordan, Zoe et Headley se sont enfermés dans la cuisine. Shel et Liddy, sa petite sœur âgée de quelques mois seulement, les ont écoutés, collés contre la porte. Ils disaient qu'Abigail Filch était maltraitée par son père – Headley a employé le mot « torturée », ce qui était plus exact aux yeux de Shel, qui tenait aux définitions appropriées. Il a convaincu ses parents de la laisser vivre ici, un temps, avant de réfléchir à l'avenir.

Shel avait laissé Liddy devant la porte en entendant quelqu'un descendre les escaliers. C'était Abigail. Elle regardait les photos accrochées sur les murs avec un air curieux, comme si elle se demandait « c'est à ça qu'une famille aimante ressemble ? »

- Tu fais quoi ? a-t-il demandé en la rejoignant. Abigail s'est retournée, et a baissé les yeux pour le voir. - Je regarde les photos. Et toi, petit gnome, tu fais quoi ? - J'allais à ma chambre depuis la bibliothèque, a rapidement menti Shel, fronçant les sourcils pour marquer son désaccord avec le surnom utilisé. La jeune fille a esquissé un demi-sourire, puis ricané. Elle ressemblait beaucoup à Headley à cet instant-là. - Alors comment ça se fait que tu n'aies pas de livre en main ? Je t'ai grillé, Archer n°2, t'étais en train d'espionner tes darons et ton frangin. Je ne suis pas à Serpentard pour rien, le gnome ! Shel s'est renfrogné. - Bon. J'avouerais si tu arrêtes de m'appeler le gnome. - OK. - J'avoue. - C'est bien, le gnome. Exaspéré de s'être fait avoir, le petit garçon a regardé attentivement Abigail. Elle avait repris des couleurs, mais n'avait pas l'air en bonne santé. Son regard était éteint, comme si elle ne vivait qu'à moitié dans le présent. Elle nageait dans les vêtements de Zoe, qui n'était pourtant pas grosse. Shel s'est rappelé de l'expression qui avait transcendé son visage lorsqu'Headley avait ouvert la porte. La même expression qu'une personne errant dans le désert depuis longtemps, qui aurait enfin trouvé une oasis. - Tu l'aimes bien mon frère, hein ? C'est ton meilleur ami ? La Serpentard n'a pas tout de suite répondu. - Ouais. Tu vois... Il est aussi chiant que génial.

Ce n'était pas peu dire. - Wow. - Comme tu dis. Allez, va lire, le gnome, avant que je te fasse faire des roulés-boulés dans les escaliers. Shel a froncé le nez et a rejoint sa chambre, oubliant la petite Liddy devant la porte de la cuisine. En sortant de la pièce, He adley avait sans le faire exprès fait voler sa petite sœur. Après l'avoir ramassée et prétendu qu'il ignorait pourquoi le bébé pleurait, il avait confié Liddy à ses parents et était allé voir Abigail pour l'informer de la décision prise. Shel a entendu ses cris de joie depuis sa chambre.

Au début, il n'était pas enchanté à l'idée qu'une inconnue squatte la maison comme si elle était leur sœur. Abigail n'était pas du genre envahissante, pourtant. Au fil des semaines, il avait appris à s'habituer. Elle ressemblait à Headley, en plus mature et gentille – un tout petit peu.

Au cours des vacances d'été, elle avait repris un peu de poids, mais pas assez. Elle était toujours anormalement pâle, et même si elle riait et blaguait à tout v a, Shel devinait, même à son jeune âge, que ce n'était pas normale qu'elle sursaute dès qu'on la touchait ou qu'on faisait un geste dans sa direction. Une fois, elle a demandé la télécommande à Jordan, qui la lui avait lancée. Elle a hurlé, et s'est cachée derrière le canapé dans un réflexe. C'était bizarre. Peut-être que ce n'était qu'une trouillarde ?

Devant la porte, Shel hésite. Abigail fait un cauchemar, c'était certain. Mais pourquoi Headley ne se réveillait pas ? Il finit par entrer, et voit que son frère s'était endormi avec ses écouteurs aux oreilles. Il n'y a sûrement que lui au monde pour dormir comme un bébé avec Panic At The Disco en fond sonore. Le petit garçon se balance d'un pied sur l'autre devant le lit de la jeune fille, hésitant. Doit-il la réveiller ? Ça a l'air d'être un sacré cauchemar, pense-t-il. Ses draps sont en désordre, trempés de sueur, et Abigail est recroquevillée sur elle-même, le visage déformé par une terreur inhumaine. Elle tremble de tous ses membres, et son visage est trempé – de larmes, de transpiration ou des deux ?

Shel réfléchit. Il reste deux bonnes minutes à réfléchir. La solution la plus logique serait de sortir et de la réveiller en faisant un gros bruit. Bon, il réveillerait sûrement le reste de la maison avec – sauf Headley, avec sa musique. Mais, étrangement, ce n'est pas celle qu'il choisit de faire. A la place, le petit garçon s'assoit dans le lit d'Abigail. Ses gestes sont lents, car il hésite toujours. Mais il finit par enlacer l'adolescente, essayant de contenir ses tremblements. Bientôt, il se retrouve blotti contre elle. Elle a utilisé le shampoing de Zoe, ses cheveux sont imprégnés du même parfum d'amande douce que sa maman. Shel a très chaud, dans cette position, mais ne la lâche pas. Il sent qu'elle se détend. Elle ne tremble plus. Elle est immobile, et sa respiration s'est apaisée.

- Abigail, c'est un cauchemar, ce n'est pas la réalité, lui chuchote-t-il à l'oreille pour la rassurer.

Il ignore que pour la jeune fille, les deux se confondent.

I predict that the next Benoit Blanc movie is going to feature Abigail Thorn doing a comic turn as the film’s Nice Is Not Good white girl (a la Meg & Whiskey), and it is going to inspire so much Representation Discourse that leaves people who only know the movie from social media posts to think she’s a much edgier character who gets a lot more screentime instead of being mostly comic relief in a big ensemble.
