From the ashes
Chapter 2 sneak peek
Lucy smiles and Tim smiles back, and it’s the most normal things have felt in months. It’s been a long journey, and painfully slow at times, but with every passing day she can see more and more of the pieces of who they were, and she can feel the first few beginning to slot back into place.
“I uh, I have something for you.”
Tim reaches into his backpack and pulls out a small notebook, the cover a soft grey and held closed by an attached elastic strap along one edge. The corners are bent and she can tell from the creases along the spine that it’s been used regularly.
“What’s this?” Lucy takes it from him and flips it open, finds herself staring at her own name in Tim’s familiar handwriting at the top of the page. She leafs ahead to other pages and finds more of the same, her name at the top followed by line after line of his script, and she lifts her eyes back to his in a mixture of shock and confusion. “You wrote me letters?”
He shoulders his pack and shoves his hands into his pockets with a shrug. “My homework for therapy was to write in it once a week. She didn’t tell me what to write, and that first day the only thing I could think of was everything I wanted to say to you. It kind of… spiraled from there.”
“Tim, this is really private,” Lucy says as she closes the journal and hands it back to him. “You don’t have to share this with me.”
“Yeah, I do,” he replies. His hands remain firmly in his pockets, unwilling to take it from her. “You deserve to know everything. If you want to, I mean,” he adds hastily.
“I… okay,” she manages, uncertain what else there is to say. “Umm. Thanks.”
He nods and takes a step back. “Have a good night.”
“Night,” she offers as she watches him walk away, but it takes nearly a minute for her to unstick her feet from the ground and climb into her own car for the drive home.
Back at her apartment, Lucy forces herself to eat a few bites even though her stomach is tied up in knots and then quickly washes up and crawls into bed with Tim’s journal, settling back against the pillows. Though he asked her to read it, it still feels like an invasion of privacy. She has no idea what she’ll find written within these pages, and as she flips open to the first page and begins to read, the overwhelming feeling is one of nervous anticipation.
(Full chapter will be posted tomorrow!)

Saw Inazuma Eleven innyour sources and already fell in love, I don't see many blogs who actively wrote for it so thank you so much!!! 💕 May I request relationship headcanons with Sousuke Taki and Garshya Wolfein? Including how they fell for the reader if possible. It's okay if you decide not to take this request though, I know these two specifically have almost no canon content nor much info, but thank you anyways just for creating this blog ✨✨✨
Hi sweetie! Thank you so much for your request ♡
I hope to be able to represent the characters as well as possible but unfortunately I haven't found anything about Garsha Wolfein so it could come ooc.
I hope you like it anyway!
⋆。゚☁︎。⋆。 ゚☾ ゚。⋆
Request: Yes
Warning: Only characters that may be ooc
Genre: gn
!English is not my first language so I apologize in advance for possible mistakes ⚠︎
⭑*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••̩̩͙⊰•*⭑
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Sousuke Taki
You are a great friend and classmate of his younger brother.
That's why you met Sousuke.
You often go to Taki's house but you never had a good relationship with Sousuke, he almost seemed to hate you (or at least that's what you thought).
Yoshihiko often pointed out to you how his brother looks at you and how he never lets you out of sight when you weren't seeing him.
This story went on until one day you found yourself at their house but Yoshihiro was nowhere to be seen.
Sousuke approached you and you started talking about this and that (not knowing though that this was all a plan by Yoshihiro to get you closer).
The more time passed, the more your relationship strengthened. And the more your relationship strengthened, the more he began to have stronger and stronger feelings for you.
One day, you thought it were like many others, you arrived at Taki's house and found an agitated Sousuke trying to ask you out. (Obviously you answered yes)
During the date he was very sweet and at the end of the day he asked you to be his girlfriend.
Of course you said yes and to this day you are still happily engaged. (Poor Yoshihiro who has become the third in hand).
⭑*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••̩̩͙⊰•*⭑
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Garsha Wolfein
You are part of the same team but you have known each other for a long time before joining the team.
Your relationship has always been particular.
You've known each other for years, you've always considered each other friends but you actually spoke little or nothing.
That's why one day you decided to talk to him to make a true friendship.
It was a strange experience for him but he wasn't disappointed. After all, one of the things he wanted to do was to get close to you.
Since your relationship has started to improve you have noticed changes in Garsha's demeanor.
He is much more attentive while talking and being with you. Anytime you're working out and someone knocks you over (even accidentally) they're going to screw up.
When you take a break from training he always makes sure to hand you the freshest bottle and driest towel (even if in reality they are all the same).
However, the day will come when, after training, he will take you aside to declare his feelings to you.
He is the kindest and most attentive guy you will ever see. Nothing like the Garsha you knew when you were younger.
⭑*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••̩̩͙⊰•*⭑
I melted into writing these headcanons
(╥﹏╥)
I hope you like them and I hope they don't disappoint your expectations!
A big hug ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ ❀

More complete list of ways that websites and books about gardening shamelessly misinform and confuse people
Using any combination of cultivar names, species names, genus names, and common names to refer to plants, leaving well-intentioned gardening noobs fighting for their lives in a lawless wasteland. Just look at this Better Homes and Gardens article on salvia.
Salvia is a genus of plants containing hundreds of species, including culinary sage, rosemary, and many species used as ornamentals. The Better Homes and Gardens list ruthlessly mixes common names for sage species with cultivar names, without giving the binomial Latin species name at all for a single one...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...and refers to two totally different plants only as "purple sage" in the same listicle
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On that note, acting like "variety" is just as important as, or interchangeable with, "species." Just read an article that said "some varieties of this plant can be invasive, so make sure to check which ones are prohibited in your area!" No. NO. No specific cultivar of an invasive plant species is going to be non-invasive. In fact, introducing new cultivars of an invasive plant will make the invasive species problem WORSE because that's new genetic material. 'Bradford' pears are invasive in the US, 'Cleveland' pears are also invasive, because they're BOTH PYRUS CALLERYANA, but the website you're buying them off of doesn't SAY that, AUGHH
Referring to plants that are enthusiastic or aggressive growers as 'invasive.' I falsely believed so many native species were invasive simply because some dumbass article decided to call them "invasive" for the crime of being able to grow in a lawn. The same websites will turn around and say that a 100% virulent invasive species "can become aggressive in some gardens" WHSFDHHKKK???
Gardening books describing a gorgeous native flower that doesn't die instantly when you think a negative thought about it: "Invasive. Evil. Kill on sight." Gardening books describing one of the worst known invasive plant species in human history that's decimating ecosystems as we speak: "This plant can be a teensy weensy bit vigorous."
totally failing to explore what it means for a cultivar of a plant to be "sterile." Here's the thing. The 'Bradford' pear was supposed to be sterile, but it was not, the cultivar was just made up of clones of the same plant, and most plants can't fertilize themselves. When another cultivar of Pyrus calleryana is planted close to it, such as the 'Cleveland' pear, surprise surprise, THEY AREN'T STERILE.
IIRC it is possible to produce truly sterile cultivars by breeding a plant that can't make seeds/fruits and cloning those plants by vegetative propagation. A cultivar of cloned, genetically identical plants with completely unchanged reproductive ability is NOT STERILE, it is just banking on no other cultivars of the plant ever existing nearby. Which is deeply stupid.
Yes, "cultivars" (the names in single quotation marks next to the name of the plant in a nursery label) are generally just groups of clones of the same founding individual. I'm not a fan of cultivars because they're basically Petri dishes for breeding disease. E.g. The Emerald ash borer was able to so thoroughly decimate ash trees in the USA partly because the gene pool of planted ash trees in American cities was 2-3 individual trees big. Now ornamental boxwoods seem to be dying off en masse in my area, and the reasons are probably similar.

Tumblr media
You slip away in the early hours of the morning.
A stroke they tell Tim, from the brain injury.
It’s a crushing blow because for a minute Tim actually thought you were going to make it, that the two of you would get a happy ending.
He puts it together in the aftermath after he hears about the video. He remembers that last night, the one the two of you were together. You’d been tangled up in bed, your bare skin brushing over his.
“I’m tired of this Tim.” You had whispered, your nose trailing along the length of his. “I’m tired of running, of living in fear.”
“Just a little while longer.” He’d promised you, his lips brushing over yours. “Promise me you’ll wait.”
That had been a month ago before Ashmore had found out about your relationship. It only occurs to him now that he never heard you make that promise, that he’d got distracted by other things because your hands had started wandering, your lips following suit.
He realises in his absence that it had gotten too much, and he doesn’t blame you. Ashmore had victimised you all over again and there is only so far you can only push another person before they snap. You had no evidence of his past abuse, except the scars that you wore beneath your clothes.
They’d found the cameras above the front door and in the living room, they were well concealed, not something you’d notice on first glance. By returning to the house last night, you’d been sending up a flare for Ashmore to come and get you, knowing he would drive by the same way he did every night.
The problem was you’d underestimated his rage. You hadn’t seen the look in his eyes when he’d seen the photographs of you and Tim, the vitriol, the violence.
He tells your story at the trial, the shit that Ashmore did to you. The beatings, the threats, the violence. He discusses the scars on your body, the ones he’d traced over in the depths of the night. When he talks about you, it’s with a heavy heart and a monotone voice because he’s been numb since the day you passed away, he doesn’t feel a God damn thing anymore.
He takes a leave of absence after Ashmore is convicted for murder, driving your ashes up the coast to Seattle. The two of you had talked about taking a trip before Ashmore had come back into your life. He still has the handwritten list of the sights you wanted to see tucked away in his wallet.
The Space Needle.
Kubota Garden.
Bainbridge Island.
He tours them all.
He takes the Night Ferry back to the city, sprinkling your ashes into the water as the lights glow in the background. You would have loved this view, he thinks.
He hasn’t shed a tear since that night in the hospital, but he bawls like a baby in his hotel room that evening, pressing his face into the pillow to stifle the noise. There’s emptiness deep inside of him because now you’re gone, and he isn’t sure how he’s supposed to live with that.
He returns to LA three days later to the news that Ashmore was shanked in prison. Your ex-husband barely survives and Tim finds himself glad that he did because he wants the other man to suffer for what he did to you. He wants him to live in terror every single day, to experience the same torture that you did, knowing there’s no way to escape it.
He goes back to work, immersing himself in the shifts, taking on extra ones. Angela takes pity on him, forcing him to come to dinner with Angela, Wes and Jack. When he holds the baby, his chest feels tight and his eyes sting because he wanted this with you, a family, a child.
He drinks himself to sleep that night.
When he wakes up, he reaches for you, his hand smoothing across the cool sheets, gripping them in his fist so hard that his knuckles turn white. He calls in sick that morning because he can’t face the day.
It’s Chen that snaps him out of it.  She needs help rehoming her dog and the truth is Tim’s needs the company. Things change when Kojo comes to live with him. He starts to develop a routine. His days get a little brighter, his heart a little lighter.
You’d want him to live, he thinks as he sits on the beach with Kojo. And that’s exactly what he’s going to do.

My Tim & Lucy stories
The collection
* my personal faves
Tumblr media
Safe place
Lucy realizes that she was wrong; Her safe place is not a place anymore, it's a person.
Trapped
It's Lucy's last day as Tim's rookie. But instead of spending it on the streets of LA fighting crime, they are trapped in an elevator together. This brings some unwanted memories back for Lucy.
Where the heart belongs
"You and I both know that there have been three people in our relationship from the beginning and I can't keep pretending to not notice that your heart belongs to someone else." (Rachel breaks up with Tim & Lucy is the one to read the message to him.)
Losing control
“I think Caleb- he-he put something into my drink”, she stuttered, and she heard Tim take a sharp inhale at the other end of the phone." (What if Lucy realized Caleb put something in her drink and called Tim for help?)
Dream a little dream of me
A familiar song is played at Angela & Wesley's wedding. Tim won’t let it break Lucy.
Found that person in you
Lucy tells Tim what happened with Chris. He finds out she hasn't just watched the video of herself in the barrel, but the body cam footage of her rescue too.
No place I would rather be *
"It's about Lucy. She uhm- she had a bad day. She's not coming out of her room anymore. I don't know what to do." He inhaled sharply, his eyes closing for a second as he swallowed. "I am on my way." (Lucy deals with the aftermath of watching the video, Tamara is worried & calls Tim.)
Can’t help falling in love (multiple chapters) *
Her gaze locked with his, brown met blue, and it was like a wave of calmness washed over her. He was studying her, his eyes fixed on hers, an intensity in them she had rarely seen from him.  Why wasn't he looking away? And when had she stopped thinking about the lyrics? (Lucy agreed to sing at Angela & Wesley's wedding and shares an intimate moment with Tim.)
Can Beauty come out of Ashes? *
“You should get cleaned up”, he told her softly, letting his hand fall back to his side as he realized the dirt he had tried to rub away wouldn’t come off. He wondered if she would ever not look beautiful to him. (Tim and Lucy share a moment after the explosion nearly took Lucy's life.)
The Reality of Losing you (multiple chapters)
“Can we talk about something else? About your engagement perhaps. Congratulations by the way.” Her words sounded more forced than delighted and Lucy bit her lip, willing herself to get her emotions under control. (Tim doesn’t directly clear up his proposal is a prank and Lucy has to face the reality that she might lose Tim.)
No regrets
Prompts: "I'm sorry I kissed you" & "I'm not with Ashley anymore"
Head in the Game
"Hey." His arm came up to her shoulder, a firm touch to bring her back to reality yet gentle enough to show her she was not in immediate danger. She startled at the gesture, her head snapping towards him, and he could see unshed tears in them. Shit. If Lucy cried right now, it was over. (Tim & Lucy find out that Rosalind escaped while being undercover together.)
Never Alone With You By My Side *
"Come on, you can't say you didn't enjoy it!" She was teasing, of course, but there was a strain on his face. "Could have been worse." "Wow!" Lucy grimaced mockingly. "Way to make a girl feel special, Bradford!" "You know how special you are." (Now that it's all over the apartment feels too empty. So Lucy calls Tim.)
When will this nightmare ever end?
"Lucy-", he began, but she shook her head. "Don't tell me it's all going to be okay, because it's not! Chris almost died, because Rosalind wants to get back at me. I can't- I-" She closed her eyes, exhaling. "When will this nightmare ever end?" (Lucy waits for Chris to wake up and Tim is by her side.)
I thought you never saw me that way
Prompt: “I thought you never saw me that way."
Some things matter more
“I only wanted space, because I thought that’s what we both needed. Time away from each other to think.” Lucy tilted her head, biting her lip. “And did it help?”, she asked, her voice wavering slightly. Tim closed his mouth again, his jaw twitching. “No.” (Prompt: “Some things matter more.")
Always find you
5x03: Lucy gets trapped. With her radio signal blocked, Tim is left with nothing but his imagination about what could have happened to her.
Where our story begins
“Vegas- it wasn’t just pretend. Not for me anyway and I...I think it wasn’t for you either.” (Prompt: "I can't be your aide anymore.”)
One Good Reason
"Then why are you pushing me away?", Lucy asked. "Don't you want-", she bit her lip. Their eyes met and she saw the question in his eyes, the need for her to finish that sentence. "Me." (Prompt: "Are you afraid to be with me?")
Healing
"It might take a while but eventually it will feel real", Tim told her, referring to her words as she had stared at Rosalind’s lifeless body. Lucy looked at him, a mixture of emotions flickering over her face. "It just- seems too easy." (Tim makes sure Lucy is okay after they found Rosalind’s body)
If Tomorrow never comes
When the nurse had left and Lucy met his gaze again, his brows were lifted. "Boyfriend?" "I said partner."  "If I recall correctly, I'm your superior", Tim pointed out. "No sign of amnesia then." (Tim asks Lucy to lay with him in the hospital bed)
Sick Days
Lucy gets sick, but goes into work anyway, because she's already taken a lot of sick days due to what happened with Caleb. Of course Tim notices.

She drives the familiar route to his house with tears blurring her vision, vaguely aware that she probably shouldn’t be behind the wheel at all. But she just… she needs to see him and it can’t wait any longer. Because the Tim Bradford who walked away from her that night outside the station wasn’t the Tim Bradford she knows and loves. But this one – the one who has spent the last four months putting himself back together, stronger and more self-aware than before – this is him. This is the man she’s always known was there, beneath the surface.

Game Assets Notes
These are plants shown in Dragon Age but aren't named in universe, just in their model files or through identification of the textures. Since most filler plant textures are just that of real world plants.
**NOTE:** When I mention they are not the known name of any plant, this comes with the caveat of being popular common names. Common names are highly variable and inconsistent. They depend on regional knowledge and association. Some travel farther than others. Common names are also not reliable identifiers.
Acacia: Black Wood ~ Note: Black Wood is a type of acacia. Both acacia and black wood are named assets.
Artichoke ~ Note: Identification comes from asset name, the artichoke flower is used as ornamentation of a box.
Banyan Tree
Boxwood ~ A type of shrub, identification comes from asset name.
Bradford Pear ~ Their fruits are edible, however their flowers are known to emit a smell akin to rotting meat. Identification comes from asset name.
Calla Lily ~ Note: Not named but identified by the texture used. It is seen in Val Royeaux planters.
Cattail ~ Note: Seen through out DAO and DAI, identification comes from asset name.
Coleus ~ Note: Not named but identified by the texture used. It is seen in Val Royeaux planters and in the Frostback Basin.
Crape Myrtle
Cypress: Italian Cypress, Topiary Cypress ~ Note: In terms of the Italian Cypress, in world it wouldl likely be called the "Antivan Cypress" given that Antiva is pulling from Italian culture, food, environments, and other inspirational elements. Cypress is a plant that is named in canon.
Daikon Radish ~ Note: Found on Dennet's farm, identification comes from asset name.
Dogwood
Elephant Ear ~ Note: Foliage found in the Frostback Basin, identification comes from asset name.
Fade Berry
Fern: Red Fern, Sword Fern ~ Note: The red fern isn't a real plant and therefore can be considered unique to Thedas. In contrast the sword fern is a real plant. Identification comes from the asset name for both of these ferns.
Forest Clover
Foxleaf ~ Note: This is another plant that is not real, no plant has this common name as far as I could find.
Gasbloom ~ Note: Seen in the Arbor Wilds, the Frostback Basin some elven ruins, and the elven ruins of multiplayer levels. Their identification comes from the asset name. There are two versions of the texture the "fixed" version is used in JoH dlc and thus explains the difference in appearance. This is not the name of a known mushroom.
Hero Tree
Palm: Curly Palm, Fan Palm ~ Note: Both palms are seen in the Frostback Basin, both are identified by their named assets.
Pear Cactus ~ Note: Found in the Frostback Basin, identification comes from the asset name.
Pine: Chir Pine
Ponga Tree ~ Note: Also known as the 'Tree Fern'. This is the tree you see in Val Royeaux garden as coming from Par Vollen, and throughout the Arbor Wilds.
Redwood ~ Note: Identified by the name of the file asset. Found in the Winter Palace, Exalted Plains, and on multiplayer maps.
Snapdragon
Trex
Waterweed ~ Note: In real life this is an entire genus not one particular plant. Though the six plants in this genus do share the common name of waterweed.
White Birch
Witchhazel

Ironwood - Unclear if this is an alternative name, the actual name of the plant, or both.
Morel - This mushroom is inferred due to the existence of Blighted Morel. However it is not explicitly specified there is a non-blighted morel.
Sponge Root - Though canonical as it is mentioned and shown in World of Thedas vol. 2 on pg. 138 with a collection of deep mushroom and surface mushroom illustrations. This mushroom was cut twice from Inquisition. It was cut from the base game as a craftable, it had a much different appearance from its final design, and then it was cut again from Trespasser. It does however still make an appearance in Inquisition as the inventory icon for Crystal Grace.
Unnamed Glowing Mushroom Is mentioned in multiplayer when there are two Lukas playing.
Unnamed Mushroom These brown mushrooms are seen in the Fallow Mire and the Frostback Basin. They are shown in two different sizes ranging from shorter than a dwarf to taller than one.
There is one unlisted mushroom, its assets is named "red mushroom" and thus is identified by textures. These is not a canon name but is included for completeness. Amanita Muscaria: More commonly know as fly agaric or fly amanita, the red top with white spots is an iconic in its imagery. You will find large swaths of these mushrooms in the Frostback Basin. Their assets is named "Red Mushroom".
Winterberry is a real plant. However, from what we see in DA2, it does not the same as the plant we have in the real world, just a shared common name.
Wormroot is another real plant name. However, due to the description in The Calling, it does not seem to be the same plant. In The Calling it is used to treat the venom of a giant spider. The real world plant is used to treat parasites in the gut and does not seem to hold any shared uses in folk lore, folk medicine, or western medicine practices.

Chenford and Contact Names
So we know in S2 because of the fake Rachel call that Tim and Lucy names in each other phones were Ofc Chen and Ofc Bradford. Based on “The Collar” and the necklace bomb Facetime they’d graduated to Chen and Bradford at this point.  Now that they are together and Tim apparently just lives at Lucy’s apartment now (he has a key and we haven’t seen him go home in weeks). Do we think they changed their contact names?? At least once their relationship was out in the open (post like 5x13).  Do we get emojis?? (From Lucy, Tim is a 40-year-old man who didn’t know what Goop was). I do think her graduating from Chen to Lucy is very funny if it contrasts with the many hearts surrounding Tim. But also Tim is kinda a nickname guy. A little bit. Maybe, I’m extrapolating from him calling Ashley “Ash”.  I just want an excuse for him to call her “Luce” or literally any pet name.  Do we get Tim <3? Do we get cute contact pictures? Are Lucy and Kojo his lock screen? How long do we think that took? Especially considering Tim was literally her lockscreen in s2 These very small details are very important to me. Please

Chenford + "I don't want to die alone."
tw: mentions of blood loss heads up, this is angsty but with a happy ending I promise!
“I don’t want to die alone.”
He utters the words before he can think better of it, a testament to how serious his injuries are. His brain to mouth filter seems to have been lost along with the liters of blood. He’d put up a good fight, running on adrenaline, but that had worn off, and he’d just felt tired. Tired, cold, scared, and alone.
But then Lucy’s voice had come over the radio, telling him they had found his location, and she was on her way to him. And all he could think was that he hoped she made it so he could spend his final moments with her by his side.
They say your life flashes before your eyes before you die, but all Tim can think of is his regrets. And his biggest regret of all; not telling Lucy how he feels. It had felt like there were so many obstacles in the way of them being together, but thinking back on it, they all seem so insignificant. Now, he mourns every single precious wasted minute. Here he was, alone in more ways than one, dying before he got his second chance at love, at having a family.
“Tim!” Lucy’s voice comes through the radio again, slightly scratchy. He just knows there are tears in her eyes and he can’t help but let some of his own fall. “Timothy Bradford, I swear to God if you die on me I'll spread your ashes over Dodger Field.”
How is it that this woman manages to lighten his mood even at death’s door?
Somehow, he finds the strength to respond. “Don’t. They'll screw up…”
“Yup, even though it will screw up the pH of the grass. That’s how you know how serious I am. You are not dying.”
He knows what she’s trying to do. Trying to keep him talking, to keep him optimistic. She’s done it for him before. But this time things feel different. And he has to make sure he says everything he needs to before it’s too late.
“Take good care of Kojo for me,” he starts, blackness beginning to creep into the edge of his vision.
“Tim! No. You’re going to be okay Tim, we’re only a minute out, RA is meeting us on scene, you’re going to go home and take good care of Kojo yourself–”
He can barely keep his eyes open through her rambling, let alone finish telling her everything he wants to say. That’s okay, he’ll just skip to the most important part.
“Lucy, I lo-”
“No. No, Tim, no, please not like this,” Lucy cries in his ear, and, finding it fitting that it’s the last thing he’ll ever do, he listens to her request, falling silent.
Everything goes black.
-----------------------
He wakes up in a bright room. After a few moments of confusion, he pieces together the familiar scenery of Shaw Memorial.
“Hey.”
He turns his head slowly to his left, resting his eyes upon Lucy, who uncurls herself from the visitor’s chair she’d been sitting in. She walks over to him, grabbing onto his hand and holding it tight. He can tell by her eyes that she’d been crying.
“Hey,” he replies, his voice cracking. 
“You’re okay, the doctors say you’re going to be good as new,” she tells him with a soft smile, and then pauses, her eyes welling up again, “you really scared me there, Tim.”
“I know,” he tells her, squeezing her hand back with as much strength as he can muster, “I’m sorry. I knew you would find me, but I was scared there too for a moment that it wouldn’t be in time.” There aren’t words to describe how grateful he feels that he was wrong.
Lucy takes a deep breath, wiping at her eyes. “So…do you want to talk about it?”

okay so intro post:
I’m Herb/Ash. I go by he/they/it. I am obsessed with the Duckverse. This is basically a Duckverse fan account. I’ve only watched/read DT17, LO3C, the life and times of Scrooge Mcduck and some Topolino comics so my content will focus on that.
my favourite Duckverse characters are: Pothole Mcduck, Flintheart Glomgold, John D. Rockerduck, Bradford Buzzard, Bigtime Beagle and Webby Vanderquack.
BYI: I am a self shipper, I ship myself with Pothole Mcduck, I am pro mspec lesbians/gays, I use a lot of tone tags and I can type really awkwardly because I get very nervous talking to people. I get paranoid so please ask before sending chainmail or similar content, also post/reblog age dreaming content sometimes.

In light of TOH's finale actually letting its protagonists murder the big bad, I want to make a list of what kids' shows let their protagonists actively kill their big bad, which ones had the bad guys die without the protagonists' involvement, and which ones didn't have the baddies die at all.
Big Bad killed by Protagonists:
-The Owl House: Luz let him die in the boiling rain and Eda and King (and Raine though they're not a main protagonist) stomp on his goopy remains
-Amphibia: Anne vaporizes the Core and the moon it hijacked. Bonus points for pummeling Andrias even after he surrendered after having a breakdown of guilt. Brutal lmao
-The Ghost and Molly McGee: Molly murders the Chairman using the power of joy. Hell yeah.
-She Ra and the Princesses of Power: Adora expelled Horde Prime's spirit from Hordak's body.
-Gravity Falls: Stan Pines killed Bill by mind wiping himself. Also he punches Bill in his mindscape. It was dope.
-Tangled the Series: Rapunzel killed Zhan Tiri, an actual demon btw, in the finale. Queen shit right there.
-Elena of Avalor: Okay so I can't remember the exact fate of Ash or the four Big Bads who Esteban was helping, and I think Esteban was redeemed. But I do know Elena fully murdered Shuriki. She definitely belongs on the Disney Princess With A Kill Count list alongside Mulan.
Big Bad killed without Protagonists' involvement:
-Centaurworld: The Woman killed the Nightmare King iirc. And good for her!
-Legend of Korra: Amon was killed by his brother via murder-suicide, rather than by the Krew.
Big Bad not killed at all:
-Ducktales: I can't recall what happened to Lunaris. Magica de Spell just got depowered. Can't remember who ultimately did that. And Bradford was turned into a nonanthropomorphic vulture... by Magica, so this doubles as The Bad Guys Do The Dirty Work.
-Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts: Mandu may have tripped Dr Emilia (good for Mandu) but Kipo still tried to save Dr Emilia from falling off the cliff. Dr Emilia rejected her help though, and fell into Fun Gus, who gets to play with her forever and ever and ever.
-Avatar the Last Airbender: I mean. This has been discoursed to death, hasn't it? Pun not intended. Aang refused to kill Ozai. Lots of people in the fandom thought this was stupid, and lots of other people in the fandom thought it was fine.
-Steven Universe: This has also been discoursed to death. I don't think I need to explain but yeah, the Diamonds didn't die.
-Legend of Korra (again): Kuvira was redeemed and Zaheer was imprisoned but not killed. Unalaq was also not killed.
Unsure because I forgor 💀:
-MLP:FiM: I know Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek were imprisoned in stone but I can't remember if it was the Mane 6 who did it.
There's definitely cartoons I'm missing.
