cinnamon girl - sukuna

sukuna x fem. reader (reader is Nanami's sister)

Part 3 of my Hockey Player Sukuna Series - Part 1 - Part 2

Lmk if you want to be added to the tag list! :D

This road trip is Sukuna's worst nightmare. Firstly, they're playing his old team in Kyoto, the one he left in the middle of the season in questionable circumstances. His last month with the team was in no way pleasant, he was benched and constantly frowned upon by his teammates. The moment he heard about his trade offer to the Wizards he jumped on it and left without saying goodbye to anyone. He knew he's gonna get roughed up during the two back-to-back games ahead of him and that the tension would be high while in Kyoto. Secondly, Nanami was breathing down his neck constantly, keeping an eye on him 24/7. Sukuna cursed himself for not being more subtle about the way he approached you, he loathed the attention he was getting from your brother. He still wanted his approval, now more than anything, but he was not sure about the price he had to pay to get it. Sukuna was a loner. Despite having good relationships with his teammates and brothers, he preferred being alone. He found most people bothersome and downright annoying. So having Nanami around him every second of the day was a nuisance and that's putting it lightly.

"Is it really necessary that you follow me around all day?" he asked, irritation clear in his tone.

"You want my approval or not?" the blonde questions. It is not like he was pleased with the situation either, but he needed to be thorough with his background checks. Your heart was fragile and he was determined to protect it with all his might.

"I do, but is it really necessary for you to follow me around all day? What's next? Are you going to hold my dick while I piss too?"

Nanami frowns. He might have gone a teensy bit overboard, considering how tame Sukuna's days have been so far. He has a very strict and particular routine that he follows without fail. He wakes up at 6 and hits the gym for exactly an hour and forty-three minutes. After that, he takes a shower and eats breakfast, the same thing every time. Four eggs, four slices of bacon, and an obnoxiously large serving of salad. Then he calls his brothers. Yuji always answers, because they have the same schedule and this is his downtime as well. Choso, however, sometimes has clients, in those instances, his call goes to voicemail. He usually listens to Yuji's rambling for about half an hour, afterward, he hangs up, sometimes in the middle of the sentence, and starts getting ready for team practice. The length of that varies based on the coach's plans for the day, but the routine after is all the same. He goes to physical therapy, showers, puts on a sweatsuit, and returns to the hotel. He has lunch, again, the same thing every day, in different variations. He then takes a nap and wakes up two hours before the game. He doesn't even try to memorize his pre-game routine at the arena, because it's insane. From taping his hockey sticks to putting on his gear in a peculiar way, Nanami has seen everything. One thing that stands out during his daily routine is texting you because he does that constantly. Nanami knows it's you because when it's anyone else he's frowning, his expression depicts nothing but disgust. But when it's you he's smiling, he scoffs sometimes, probably because you said something unhinged. Most of the time, he is grinning like a man in love. Nanami considers entertaining the thought that he actually is in fact in love with you, but that would be crazy. Nonetheless, it is clear as a day and without a doubt that he is infatuated by you.

Sukuna's demeanor changes on the last day of the road trip, on the day of their last game in Kyoto. He is agitated, downright distressed. Nanami doesn't understand this sudden change, sure, these last couple of games have been rough on him, the unhinged comments thrown his way by his ex-teammates might have gotten to him, but they didn't seem to bother him up to this point. Something must have happened.

"Dude, stop bouncing your leg, the whole room is quaking!" Satoru whines during team dinner, imploring Sukuna.

"Shut your mouth, Gojo, unless you want to go home to your girlfriend without your dick attached." he bites back with a frightening aura.

"That's enough!" Nanami explodes, grabbing Sukuna by the collar of his dress shirt, and dragging him out. The pink-haired centerman does not fight back, despite the sheer size difference between the two of them. He could easily dominate Kento in this situation, but he refuses to.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" the blonde questions "No bullshit, Sukuna, I can tell that you're on the edge."

His tatted face contorts - the last person he wants to mutter the following words to is standing in front of him. He never talks about his problems anyway, but this is utterly uncomfortable.

"She's ghosting me," he whispers, unable to hold eye contact with Nanami.

"What?"

"You heard me, Captain! Don't fucking try to convince me to repeat myself." he explodes, shaking the blonde's hands off his shoulders, trying to leave the room.

"Why? Did you do something?" Nanami's voice is nothing but emphatic. It makes Sukuna's shoulders deflate as he takes a deep breath.

"No." he says "I don't think so."

"Do you want me to talk to her?"

"No! It's her decision, if she doesn't want to talk to me, I'm alright with that. It's just frustrating. I've been trying to act my best around you to get your blessing, but apparently, it was for nothing. What a pain."

Nanami sees right through his unbothered facade. He smiles, knowing that this idiot in front of him is down bad for his sister. That's why he calls you, to find out why you've been avoiding him.

"Why aren't you talking to Sukuna?" he asks after listening to your rambling about how fun of a day you had with Sophia and how Senna had chocolate milk coming out of her nose from one of Akane's jokes.

"Ugh, he told you about that too?" you sigh in frustration "You know, I really thought he was different, that he didn't talk shit about girls. He despises talking to the team about his conquests and relationships. I thought he would keep this on the down low, at least until our first date. And what does he do? He tells everyone in the locker room the first chance he gets."

"I was the one to question him about it," Nanami explains and your eyes widen "He doesn't talk shit. He only told me, so that I would give him my approval. He didn't want to go behind my back, he basically told me his intentions."

The way Sophia phrased it to you it sounded like Sukuna disgustingly blabbed to the entire team. The information your brother presented to you changes everything, your irritation with Sukuna disappears in an instant, but it's quickly replaced with guilt.

"Is he mad?" you ask timidly.

"Totally livid, downright lunatic." he says, his tone light, which makes you giggle. "Do you like him, Bambi?"

You think about it for a second. For the last couple of days, Sukuna has been nothing but a gentleman. He still annoyed you to no end, but he also sent you good morning and good night text every day. He texted you at every chance he got, telling you about his day, making you laugh at his stories about Satoru and how he loathes him. He listened to you complain about your unfair boss and your new annoying co-worker, about the shenanigans of your cat. He also sent a bouquet of sunflowers to your office, claiming that he finds any other type of flower stupid. "They're useless. At least with these ones, you can pull out the seeds, roast them, and use them for salads." he explains. Even thinking about him makes you smile.

"Yeah, I do like him." you say confidently and Nanami sighs. He cannot argue with that.

"Just text him back, Bambi."

"I will. Is that you giving your blessing, big bro?" you tease, making Nanami hang up the phone without saying goodbye. You laugh and you switch to the Messages app on your phone straight away.

However, Sukuna never takes his phone to the arena, because it's a distraction from his routine. So he doesn't see your message, making him go on a full rampage during the game. He's thrown to the sin bin at least six times for checking his opponents too hard, and he's constantly spewing insults at his ex-teammates, some of them personal, some of them just usual guy stuff.

"Hey Nanami-san! How is that sexy little fox of a sister of yours? I would really like to take her on a ride on my Zamboni if you know what I'm getting at." Mahito, the other team's first-line defenceman chirps the captain, and before Kento can react, he sees Sukuna fly by, with his gloves off, landing a powerful punch to the guy's face. Geto swears that the punch flashes black, which is not surprising, considering he and Gojo have a flair for the dramatic. The pink-haired lunatic lands punch after punch with a ruthless expression. This goes on until Mahito falls to the ice and the referees separate the two. As he is escorted towards the penalty box, Sukuna turns back to the defenceman and deliriously spits at him:

"Know your place, fool!"

Sukuna is thrown out of the game after that. You watch him on television, as he leaves the ice with a smile on his face, seemingly proud of himself for beating a living shit out of someone. But the fight gets the boys going, closing this road trip with a 7-1 win against the Kyoto team.

"Oh, Bambi..." you hear Senna's voice from beside you, a cheeky grin on her face. Sometimes you wonder how Satoru found a girl so similar to him. They are basically the same person, just different gender.

"What?"

"You sooooooo have the hots for Sukuna!" Akane teases.

"I do not!"

"Yeah, you do! But no worries, girl, we've been there. Guys are so hot when they fight." Senna explains.

"Sophia! Please tell these two that they are delusional." you look at your sister-in-law, imploring her to get you out of the uncomfortable situation.

"You are soooooo delusional, Bambi!" you hear her say and Senna starts laughing like a hyena. You huff out in frustration as you grab your phone to check if Sukuna texted you back. As soon as you see the message notification on the screen, a deep blush forms on your face and you cannot help, but smile.

"I will be expecting a warm welcome after getting home, sweet girl. It's utterly disrespectful to ignore someone who's trying so hard to win you over, my fragile little heart needs pampering." his text says.

And warm welcome he gets. On Sunday, at brunch. As soon as you see him step into the cafe, you stand up from your seat, going up to him, embracing his giant figure in a tight hug, whispering how sorry you are for ignoring him. At first, he is stiff, but after a couple of seconds, he relaxes, putting his bulky arms around your shoulders, inhaling your scent.

Nanami watches the whole scenario from his seat, content with the picture in front of him. The two of you arrived earlier, Sukuna insisted that the two of you have the time to catch up as siblings, another reason why Kento is pleased momentarily with his decision. He thinks back to the conversation he had with Sukuna after the game the night before.

"Thank you, for standing up for my sister, but you shouldn't have fought. That was stupid, we need you on the ice, Sukuna!" he scolds the pink-haired centerman.

"That bastard deserved what he got. And you guys did well without me anyway."

"I don't care, don't fight, you moron."

"I cannot make such promises." he grins.

"Can you promise not to hurt my sister?"

Sukuna's jaw drops at the blunt question, but he smiles nonetheless.

"Yeah, I can promise that, Captain!"

"Alright. One bad word from her, one teardrop, one disrespectful comment from you and you're done for, you understand?"

"Yes." Sukuna nods "Thank you, Kento."

However, Nanami regrets his decision during brunch. Because neither you nor Sukuna can keep your eyes off each other, the two of you share the stories of what you've been up to while you were apart, despite talking about them through messages. Nanami never felt so useless as he felt in that moment - third wheeling is truly a chore. But now he understands why you banned Sophia from Sibling Brunch because you felt the same way every time she joined. He feels terrible for only realizing this now, but the damage has been done, and he swears he's not going to push her presence at these events anymore. Nonetheless, Kento is glad to observe the dynamic between the two of you, the banter, the laughs, and the scoffs. It seems so fluid and easygoing as if the two of you knew each other through your whole lives. Sukuna seems so much softer, his rough and downright mean aura is replaced by a smile that reaches his ears, so genuine it's nearly frightening.

"Hey, Ken?" you ask, looking at him with sparkly eyes. "Sukuna and I are going on a walk, is that alright?"

"Sure. Take care!" he says and he embraces you, then shakes hands with his teammate. They have one of those silent conversations that boys have, but Kento leaves without saying anything else, but he makes sure to smile at you, as a sign that he is okay with this.

As you and Sukuna walk down the street to the park, you cannot help but ask him:

"Soooo... Is this our first date?" He looks at you in disbelief, he seems offended even.

"Do you really think that I am sloppy enough to take you here for our first date? I am a gentleman, y/n, this is what 15-year-old boys would consider a date, not me."

"Is that so? Then, when are you gonna take me on a real date?" you tease, but you're nervous that he might have changed his mind since he asked you out. You try not to show that, but Sukuna is perceptive. He knows, but he chooses not to comment on it.

"Really soon, sweetheart. Really soon."

AOT veterans headcanons

Characters: Levi Ackerman, Erwin Smith, Hange Zoe

Tags: just random thoughts on the main three vets, they/them pronouns for Hange, some may be ooc?, SFW only

A/N: Here are my headcanons based on how I percieve them, I have some more for the rest of the characters but I'm posting only three for now because they are longer than expected. (I also have NSFW ones but I'm waiting until I get more comfortable with sharing my thoughts before posting those) Hope you like them and thank you for reading!

Levi Ackerman:

Washes his hands constantly, almost too many times a day.

Would rather fight a titan with an arm tied to his back than do the dishes. The mere thought of soggy leftovers sticking to his hands makes him gag.

Avoids going out to public places because he’s aware of his popularity inside the walls and doesn’t know how to act when he’s the center of attention.

Following the previous topic and contrary to popular beliefs, this man would never reject a gift/letter/trinket given to him by a local. It can be the most random thing but he will always accept them with a small nod, he’s deeply thankful for their blind trust in him.

Yawns and stretches ALL THE TIME, he is known for sleeping as little as 3 or 4 hours per night and while he’s able to go on with his day without problems, this doesn’t mean he isn’t feeling drowsy all the time so he’s almost always letting out quiet yawns and stretching his arms to ease the soreness of his body.

Sneezes a lot when cleaning. It’s not rare at all to hear him sneeze when he’s dusting or sweeping, if someone says “Bless you” to him he’ll quietly mumble a “thanks” before getting back to cleaning.

Has a favorite seat at the dining table and gets grumpy when someone takes that place before him.

Speaking of dinner, this man eats SLOW AS HELL, he’s usually one of the last to finish his meal.

Is constantly thirsty because he refuses to drink anything but tea.

Has memorized everyone’s footsteps and knows who’s coming to his office before they even knock the door.

Cleans and calibrates his ODM gear daily even when he’s not planning on using it.

Doesn’t like to be in new recruit’s trainings because he gets anxious when most of them hurt themselves while getting used to work with the ODM gear.

Trims his hair weekly, most people believe he shapes his haircut and has hairdresser-like skills when in reality all he does is trim it to avoid losing the shape it already has.

Can’t read cursive even if his life depends on it. One time Erwin handed him a memo written in cursive and he got so frustrated because he didn’t understand what it said that he ended up ignoring the memo. Turns out Erwin needed him to turn in some reports earlier than usual and got scolded because of it.

Loves eating fruit. Fruit was considered an ultra luxury item in the underground so when he realized how much fruit he could eat once he was in the scouts, he got obsessed with it.

Whines and complains a lot for a person who’s known to be grumpy and stoic. Ask him to do something he dislikes and you’ll hear a bunch of huffs and puffs before he goes to do it.

Talks with his horse. A lot.

Wanders through the empty halls when he can’t sleep and doesn’t bother to bring a candle to light the path, the cadets now believe there is a ghost haunting the headquarters.

Erwin Smith:

Hums and whistles a lot, he’s always making some kind of noise while signing reports or walking down the halls. You can hear this man before seeing him.

Takes more time than he’s willing to admit in styling his hair every morning. He is a firm believer that appearance matters a lot so he puts a lot of effort on his.

Has a specific pair of glasses he uses when reading, almost no one knows about it besides Hange who helped him choose the right ones.

Talks in his sleep, it can vary between mumbled nonsense to full on speeches.

Has a journal that is more like a diary because he writes all his thoughts/hopes/fears on it but he’d be damned if someone refers to it as a diary and not a journal.

Is lowkey afraid of insects but plays it cool when he comes across one because he doesn’t want to come out as “weak”.

Snaps his fingers when trying to remember something.

People think he’s a very wise and smart man because it’s very common to find him “deep in thoughts”, truth is he just tends to zone out and disassociates like crazy.

Loves dogs, he’s the biggest dog person in the scouts. Often stops and pets dogs he finds while taking a walk downtown.

Cleans and polishes his shoes every night before going to sleep. Whenever his face gets reflected on the shiny shoe a smile appears on his lips.

Not always but sometimes sneaks out behind the barracks to smoke some cigarettes, tries to hide all evidence afterwards because Levi will start complaining about the awful smell.

Would rather be late to an early meeting than go without shaving, has to shave daily because by the end of the day he already has a shadow beard.

Is well aware of his attractiveness and uses it to his advantage when needed.

Visits his father’s grave every Sunday and spends most of the day there. Sometimes brings a book and reads it out loud.

Smacked his face after trying to see through a clear glass Levi had cleaned earlier, after laughing for several minutes Levi scolded him for dirtying his glass.

His wardrobe is full of neutral-colored clothes, he sucks at matching outfits so goes with the safest options.

Knows very well Levi can’t read cursive so when he’s bored, he scribbles gibberish on a paper and gives it to Levi saying it’s important to get it done by end of day just to get a laugh.

Has relatives living inside the walls who refuse to acknowledge him, some of them even pretend he died the same day his dad did.

Has an ongoing bet with Hange to see who makes Levi laugh the most, so far Erwin is winning by one but only because he accidentally fell from his horse and Levi found it hilarious.

Arm-wrestles with Miche a lot, especially after they had a few beers.

LOVES dancing, this man knows how to dance and isn’t afraid to show it. (Sadly for him he also loves to clap when dancing and this makes everyone laugh)

Hange Zoe:

Is both street-smart and book-smart, is the only person who has beaten Erwin in a chess match and also beaten Levi in a wrestling match.

Almost always has pencils sticking out of their hair, they place them there for a moment and totally forget about them.

Levi restricted them from using fountain pens because they would spill ink and stain everything and everywhere.

The reason why their glasses have straps on is not only because the risk of them falling off is smaller but also because according to them “it makes them look cooler”.

Wanted to join Erwin in giving instructions to Levi written in cursive but since their handwriting wasn’t as good as Erwin’s they opted for giving instructions in riddles, this makes Levi even more furious than the cursive ones.

Just like Levi, Hange takes a long time when eating dinner but the reason for this is not because they eat slow but because they talk a lot. By the end of the meal their food is either cold or soggy.

Tried to bite a titan once just to show them how it felt to be “on the receiving side”.

Their horse has tiny braids on its mane made by them when they were nervous.

Refuses to brush their hair because their ideas may “fall off” if they do it.

Tackled Levi once when they saw an “eerie figure” roaming the headquarters halls and thought it was a new species.

Has read more books than anyone in the scouts, knows a little of almost everything.

Says “wait, what?” at least twice when talking with someone, before that person can repeat themselves, they interrupt with a completely related answer and expect the person to continue speaking as if nothing happened.

Almost all cadets go to them for advice, they take this very seriously and never joke around when listening to their concerns.

Just like Erwin, they have relatives living nearby the headquarters but they’re not interested in one another.

Has a tendency to bite their nails when nervous, all his fingernails are short and bumpy because of it.

Is very quick at math and calculations.

Always carry a pocket notebook with them and writes anything that catches their attention so they can investigate about it later.

LOVES bugs, is always trying to catch them and examinate them. One time they trapped a cockroach and created a full design of an “armored suit” based on them, when Erwin asked where they got the inspiration for it, they just placed the cockroach in Erwin’s desk and Erwin almost fainted on the spot.

Randomly goes to Miche and asks him “what do I smell like?”, Miche stopped participating on their little riddles when Hange decided to put rotting food in their pockets before asking.

All their books have little notes and highlighted parts on them. Sometimes has two or three copies of the same book because their view on certain parts changes over time.

Takes pinky-promises as a legit way of commitment.

𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐔𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐑 !!

feat. mikey sano, draken, baji keisuke, chifuyu matsuno, mitsuya takashi (reader is mentioned here and there too!) - crack/humour/fluff (1.2k+)

nana's note: can toman boys drive cars?? no keep reading to find out about the boys and their driving habits!! spoiler alert: in no way should you drive like them please don't listen to this post LMAO

MIKEY

to mikey, the written test wasn't too bad—he went in, sat in his little cubicle, and got through the questionnaire without too much issue

dude couldn't lie though, he was sweating bullets at the demerit point questions FR

but of course, mikey boasts to everyone (especially baji but we'll get to that later) about his success, and is very excited to hit the road

didn't realize just how small being behind a car wheel feels until he sits and needs to bump the seat up a few notches LMAO

baji teases him: "you need heels on to reach the pedals, too? HAHHAHA"

is constantly driving with an :0 expression

"oh my god, the car is moving ken, im making the car move—ken, look!"

"yes mikey, your foot is on the gas pedal."

cheers when he does a left turn successfully, because fuck are those a pain in the ass sometimes

sometimes forgets to signal, and has been flipped off a few times for almost crashing in front of the car behind him

"oops!"

mikey absolutely has a snack stash in his trunk too—it's filled, and always being refilled, with sweets, savoury treats, and drinks

"y/n, could you grab me a bag of chips please? any flavour!" he yells from the front

???? what ????—you crane your head back to a fucking kitchen of snacks like it's normal for anyone to have that much

occasionally gets extremely tired at the wheel, and shuts his eyes for two seconds at a red light

it's either a honk waking him up or ken profusively cursing at him

"oops!" x2

DRAKEN

now i don't wanna be bias (user dr4kenlvr, am i right), but ken is probably the second best driver on this list

written test wise, he passed on the first try

wasn't too difficult, and the lady at the desk even congratulated him with a warm smile, to which he happily returned

he got use to the mechanisms of the car pretty quickly

all of these gears and switches were like second nature to him, considering how much he works with motorbikes on the regular

likes to play music as he drives, it varies depending on the time of day it is

nice r&b on a night drive is always his favourite though

once draken gets really comfortable with the wheel, he'll have an arm hanging out the window

heavenly sigh—he looks really good <3

never drove alone with just his G1, despite his delinquent reputation

good job ken!!

one thing though: he has an oddly high level of road rage LMFAOOO

draken thinks it's probably because he's in a car—surrounded by 4 walls—rather than being out in the open like on a bike

people can't hear him curse the living hell out of them with the windows up so...

"what the FUCK, ASSHOLE?—CAN'T SEE I'M TRYNA FUCKIN' PASS?"

"SIGNAL NEXT TIME, YOU BITCH."

"ARGHHH—QUIT YOUR HONKING YOU DICK! I HEAR 'YA"

"WHY IS THIS GUY UP MY FUCKING ASS."

yeah, he gets loud LMAOO and vulgar

with his viens popping out and shit, he probably looks crazy if you pull up next to him in the adjacent lane

just don't look over, you'll be okay

HELP

same ken

BAJI

this mf spent months studying for the written test

he was extremely keen on doing well too, because he wanted the luxury of being able to finally drive a car

baji also wanted to be able to drive his mother to and from work, so that she "wouldn't have to take public transit all the time"

love you keisuke

created study nights with chifuyu, where the boys would quiz each other on repetitive shit like signs

"okay, what's this one?"

"uhh.. there's like a merry-go-round ahead?"

"wha—? d'you mean a ROUNDABOUT???"

he had the right spirit, so chifuyu gave him a point either way AHSDHDSHF

time rolled around and baji declared him finally ready to take on the test and..

...he passed!! yay keisuke !!!

dude wanted to explode from the sheer relief, he literally picked you up and spun you around 18 times out of happiness

BUT THIS MF ON THE ROAD IS SO FUCKING WILD—he's good with the wheel, but like there's always something going on in his car

you could get whiplash by how fast he goes sometimes

he doesn't even mean to

50 maximum but he's going 80

"YOU'RE GONNA GET PULLED OVER OR KILL SOMEONE, KEI' SLOW DOWN."

"oH—FUCK, SORRY! sorry!"

also is a huge multitasker - and isn't too shabby at it

he could be calling someone via bluetooth speaker, while eating, while scratching his back, while signalling into the right lane ALL AT ONCE

miraculous how he doesn't have even a scratch or dent yet to be honest

idk man, just make sure you have your seatbelt on at all times, kay'?

CHIFUYU

i think he gets a little too excited every time he gets behind the wheel

like hes giggling with every lane change or right turn

literally fucking SCREAMS when he sees a cat walk on the road

"NOOOOOOOOOOO—"

"chifuyu, it's fine! it walked back. K-KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD!"

has a cushion specifically for peke j in the back seat where no one can sit or move it to sit

"ahh no. that's peke j's spot, you can sit in the trunk or something."

baji: "are you fucking kidding me."

LMAO

speaking of peke j, he has a component in his trunk filled with toys and cat food for him

it's honestly really sweet, how much he cares and cherishes his little cat

you can't find the heart to be too angry with him when you find cat fur stuck to the seats

i think chifuyu has a lot of fucking fast food garbage in his car too

his mom (and you) is always up his ass about it:

"CLEAN YOUR DAMN GARBAGE MATSUNO. THIS IS A CAR, NOT A LANDFILL."

like, you would sit in the passenger seat and at your feet there's just wrappers and straws and shit

you look at him with a look that just speaks volumes of "really?"

and he's all (｡╹ω╹｡)

it's an honest mistake <3

MITSUYA

oh god—the most responsible driver out of his friends by FAR

he is so so happy when he passes, because he is able to get things done quicker with a car than by walking

dropping/picking up his sisters from school, escorting his mother to places, getting groceries, visiting his friends, just about everything in his life is made 10x easier and faster

mitsuya's car ALWAYS smells good

he's always got a new car freshener hooked onto his rearview mirror when the scent runs out

his favourite is lavender <3 and his sisters like the fruity ones but they make his and your's nose tickle

DRIVES WITH ONE HAND ON YOUR KNEE !!!!!

and he does that fucking cute side smile when he talks to you but also needs to pay attention to the road

AHHH <3

LOVES to bring his sisters on drives around the neighbourhood once he gets his full license

plays their favourite songs and sings out loud with them

it'll be cartoon openings and disney soundtracks but he doesn't mind

not when the grin on your's and his sister's faces are so bright and genuine

omfg - picnics where you two set up food in the trunk and watch luna and mana play at the playground

and they rush over when they're hungry to eat and rest

HOW FUCKING CUTE AND PERFECT

MITSUYA TAKASHI IS PERFECT

i tried to look more into the boonboomgers' names because despite being obvious puns on car parts, all of them have kanji characters and therefore they technically do have specific meanings .,!!! copy and pasted this off of discord so the formatting is bad and also the spelling and grammar might be really off too so sorry about that! all of the kanji meanings are taken from a kanji dictionary under the cut

taiya - taiya's full name consists of the kanji 範道大也 (handou taiya). 大 (tai) is a kanji that has a generally consistent meaning, which is "grand"/"big"/"great", but it can also mean "excellence" and "respectful" (the quality of being respectful, not having the respect geared towards them). 也 (ya) varies depending on its readings, but when read as 'ya', it means "will it be (so)?" or "is it so?" 範 (han) means "model" or "example". 道 (dou) has many different meanings, but the ones that are most relevant to taiya's character "road"/"path", "skill"/"technique" and especially "guide"/"lead" ishirou - again, but this time with 鳴田射士郎 (meita ishirou). his first name consists of three kanji ,. 射 (i) is usually used in names to mean to "shine", but this particular kanji also means "shoot", "strike" or "aim" which is suspiciously fitting for him (professional sniper 😭 😭 ). 士 (shi) in general means a person with a duty (particularly a samurai) but it also just means "a man" in general and in a name it's usually used with another kanji to mean "a man of _". 郎 (rou) actually just means the same thing as the former, refers to a male. with the kanji in mind, ishirou's name basically means "a man that shoots" but also could be interpreted as "a man that has a clear aim" 鳴 (mei) can mean "to make/produce a sound" but it also means "to reverberate" in the sense that a person's reputation 'echoes' and is widely known. 田 (ta) is a fairly common kanji in last names that means a few things but in surnames it almost always refers to a "field" or a "countryside" ishirou's nickname 'shasshiro'/'chasshiro' refers to a chassis. the kanji 射 (i) can also be read as 'sha' mira - kind of like ishirou's except it's her last name that has 3 kanji 志布戸未来 (shifuto mira). 未 (mi) has 4 completely different meanings, which are "not yet", "sheep", "south"/"southwest", and "time" (specifically referring to "2 PM and 2 hours before and after"). 来 (ra) is usually used in names to refer to the act of "bringing" something or for something to "come" (ex. combining it with a character for something like 'joy' so the name means "to bring joy") but is also used similarly to refer to something "in the future". interestingly, 未来 (mira) can also be read as "mirai", literally the word for "future", and in tandem with her surname her name could be read as "shifting future" which can refer to how she constantly changes jobs 志 (shi) can either mean "aspiration" or "resolution" (as in a goal) but can also mean "record" or "document" and thus "memory". 布 (fu) means 3 completely different things but can either mean "cloth", "spread" or "currency". lastly 戸 (to) is again one of those kanji that mean multiple, completely different things, being "entrance", "house", "name" and "amount of alcohol" (???) jou - jou's first name consist of 4 kanji, 3 going into his last name and only 1 for his first name 阿久瀬錠 (akuse jou). 錠 (jou) means "lock", but also refers to the state of being "fixed" or "locked" into place. likely refers to his unmoving heroism but also how he views his job as a police officer ("lock" implies security and protection) 阿 (a) is another one of those kanji that mean several different things 😭 "hill", "cove", "eaves" (like roof overhangs), "to approach", and "endearment". 久 (ku) can mean "long lasting" or "ancient" but the meaning i found most relevant to jou's character was "to remain unchanged". 瀬 (se) means "shallow water", "rapids" and "position"

genba - genba's name consist of 4 kanji, 2 for his first and last name 振騎玄蕃 (bureki genba). 玄 (gen) is a fairly common kanji for names although it usually appears as its kunyomi reading 'kuro' instead. means a couple of things like "black"/"dark", "north" and "heaven" but the meanings that seemed relevant to him were "mysterious"/"profound" and "distant". 蕃 (ba) has a couple different meanings but its most common ones are "to grow"/"to flourish", "to expand" and "to increase" 玄蕃 "genba" is also a pun based on the word 工事現場 (kojigenba) meaning "construction site" in reference to his suit motif and his mecha being based off of machines you'd find in a construction site 振 (bure) can mean "to stir up" or "to rouse" (foreshadowing..........) but also refers to the physical action of "shaking". it can also mean to "rescue" or "help" (interesting paired with his catchphrase that basically means "looks like you need some help"), "flock" (of birds) and "gesture". 騎 (ki) means to "ride"/"mount"/"straddle" (a horse), but can also refer to the horse itself (used to refer to specifically horse for horseback riding) or a cavalry (soldiers riding on horses) if you have more to add onto this PLEASE tell me about it

#bakuage sentai boonboomger #boonboomger #2 reblogs and i'll derive a meaning out of each of their names /lhj #kanji arent meant to be taken literally #so even the odd ones can be relevant to their character

Side Order review

Ever since Octo Expansion, the Splatoon series has been shaking up its single player content every few years, I only really got into the series during 3’s release cycle but it must be refreshing and exciting for longtime fans. With Side Order’s release, the shake up was adding a movement shooter roguelike to the game, a very indie game idea and a very exciting one. I was so excited, I ended up playing a few runs of every roguelike I owned in preparation. So how was Side Order? How does it compare to other games in its genre? Let’s talk about it.

In Side Order you’ll be climbing the Spire of Order, one floor at a time. Each floor will give you colour chip which ranges from things you can get in gear abilities to more crazy stuff like your dualie dodge rolls having attacks, or your shots having homing. You’ll then take that buff into a floor where you have to complete an objective, either destroying portals, defending splat zones, pushing a tower, sinking an 8 ball, or defeating runaway enemies. There’s not many objectives, but the amount of different rooms you can get makes each floor varied, though the objective count is an issue to some people.

Personally, my biggest issue with Side Order is that there’s a lot of downtime, much more than any roguelike I’ve ever played…except maybe Kirby Fighters 2. Between floors, you have to watch an animation of Eight putting the chip you chose into the palette, you have to watch the animation of the elevator going up, you have to take the cage to the actual level, then after you complete the objective you have to watch an animation of Eight walking back to the elevator. This adds up a LOT over the course of the run.

That being said, when you’re actually playing the game, it’s a blast. All of the rooms have designs that can be tackled in a variety of ways, and when you start seeing repeat rooms, it’s very satisfying to improve at them, whether it be with more optimized movement, better gameplans, or even just a new build. This is really complimented by massive build variety, there’s a lot to find with synergies between chips, or unique builds for certain weapons. The game also rewards min-maxing in a really creative way. Most upgrades will yield diminishing returns…unless you max out that upgrade type. Firing rate for the blaster would go from 300% on the 4th upgrade to 1000% on the 5th upgrade, and it’s super exciting to see what each chip type does when maxed out. It gives the game a lot to explore.

There’s also a lot of little things during combat that I like. Several enemies either interact with the stage in a unique way, or can be interacted with in a unique way. You’ll have some enemies that will only attempt to paint the zone, or enemies who love the 8 Ball and will try to hit it at all times. You also have enemies that drop a top or spring that you can take advantage of. It leads to super dynamic combat. Since not all enemies paint well, or some not at all, you’re really rewarded for having stage control more than any other single player mode. Since most enemies attack you directly, you’re promoted to push past the zone instead of just staying in it, which is what you should be doing in Splat Zones normally! The bosses also follow this mentality of designing for skill expression, but to talk about them we need to go into spoiler territory.

The slowest and easiest boss is Parallel Canon, an army of Agent 4s. That’s not to say it can’t be done fast, or isn’t interesting though, as clones will scale depending on what buffs you take. However, it’s the only boss that isn’t always vulnerable. Meanwhile, the ball has a small weak point that can be expanded by either waiting, or by pushing it into a bumper. It’s super satisfying to take advantage of its positioning to get high damage while opening it up as it constantly rolls away. My favourite boss from the DLC has got to be the tower though, there’s so much risk to juggle but it’s so rewarding when done well, whether it be running under the tower to get to its weak points quicker, or only aiming for the layers you need to destroy to win. There’s tons of room for skill expression and I love it.

Special mention to the tutorial boss and final boss for sharing mechanics, meaning you can’t be blindsided by the final boss’s premise like you can in some games. (looking at you Time Eater) If we’re going into story stuff though, the game starts with a great intro, it left me really excited to keep going and has one of my favourite songs in the DLC.

However, this is one of the weaker stories in the series. The main plot is only made with one win in mind, so while the finale is very good, the pacing to get there is a little janky. I was also left with a lot of unanswered questions that Octo Expansion and Alterna didn’t leave me with, aside from the classic “is this a mistranslation” thing. That’s not to say what’s there isn’t good, Marina trying to help the victims of Kamabo Co. is very compelling, Pearl is a bunch of fun to be around, Acht is very cool, and Smollusk is a hilarious villain, even if he doesn’t have the thematic depth of Grizz, Tartar, or Octavio. There have been loreheads who really didn’t like the story but it didn’t bother me too much, except for 2 instances.

I know roguelikes have never really been known for their story, (for the most part) but I can’t help but feel like the first trailer for Side Order was a bit of a sucker punch. Seeing all this concept art for visuals and potential lore that didn’t make it into the game is a little upsetting.

The second big thing writing wise is, and I know this upsets me more than it reasonably should, but fuck man, Eight not having a personality in Side Order hurts. I know she got more stuff than Agent 4, but Eight was one of the most real feeling characters in the series. The mem cakes from Octo Expansion gave her so many little quirks, but there’s almost nothing from Eight. No poems and very few emotes. It’s especially upsetting because Eight was on Team Order but there’s nothing she can say about her situation. What Eight does get is really sweet, and it’s not a dealbreaker for me, but man, it hurts.

There’s also a few other issues like the lack of seeding or any real Heat/Ascension settings. Any challenges you want to do, like no hacks or single tone palettes would be self imposed challenges, and I do wonder if the game may get stale faster than other rougelikes. There also isn’t any secret boss, nothing like the Heart, the Collector, the Lich, or Charon to really push your skill and your build to its limits. It’s especially frustrating because it feels like subsequent runs seem to be building up to something but it doesn’t really go anywhere. But then you have moments like the Epic, Vibrant Battle, or how charming the elevator dialogue can be, and it reminds me how much I’ve loved being a fan of this series. I may have a lot of criticisms with Side Order but I did absolutely enjoy my time with it.

So, in conclusion, should you get Side Order? Well, if you take your switch on commutes, I think the answer is 100% yes. Trust me on this, I can’t tell you how much time I would put into the slay the spire mobile port if it wasn’t Apple Arcade exclusive. If you’re a fan of roguelikes and Splatoon, I would get it, this is the category I fell into and I had a blast with the game. If you weren’t already interested in Splatoon 3, there are probably better roguelikes to get, I’d suggest Risk of Rain 2 if you want a movement shooter. If you value story as much as gameplay or more than it, I would instead suggest Hades if you want a roguelike. If you’re worried about the genre’s permadeath being unforgiving, I would pick up the game, as Side Order does a pretty good job of dispelling that fear while also allowing for the high stakes that makes roguelikes so exciting. I genuinely think you will get more out of Side Order if you’re not great at Splatoon, as you’ll have more hacks to disable for if you ever want to do challenge runs. Overall I’d give it an…uhh…8/10, I guess? Can we get rid of number scores?

I cannot stop thinking about how freakishly prepared vigs-era Tensei is, like, "let me bring multiple sets of backup communicators that are EMP resistant and link to my agency office to this fun party I'm going to, you know, just in case someone attacks and communications are cut and I need to be able to reach not just my team but other heroes there and call for outside aid, like getting a metric ton of steel cables delivered in minutes".

Does he do that at every party? Is he constantly carrying around a big bag or two of spare coms, support tech, first aid kits, and other emergency gear? What led him to decide to do that? And he's got to be networking like crazy to be getting some of these things, no wonder he's constantly getting new and varied people on his team to expand what plans they can throw together at any given moment.

But this also makes him splitting off from his group that he specifically organized to best combat Stain when he hears something weird truly stupid of him, like really just picked up the idiot ball there

#Tensei ten years ago: i wanna be a hero who helps kids :) that's cool :)#Tensei five years ago: i have the tools and plans for anything and if i don't? i have a guy who does.#Tensei now: oh huh wonder what made that weird sound in that alley in the city where the guy who kills people in alleys is #what is going on with this man #(i know the doylist explanation shush. I'm trying to figure out the watsonian one)

Hello again!! I have a few questions about Determination.

Oh, I forgot to tell you. I really love your Determination Story and it makes me feel emotional. I can't wait for the next part of Determination soon!!

1) If Luffy is sun good and Law is 'moon god' then Y/N is the star of God? That's why governments after Gum Gum No Mi, Ope Ope No Mi and Y/N's devil fruit.

2) What if Bartolomeo meets Y/N?

3) How would straw hats react to Y/N is actually immortal and they still look the same just like before but have a lot of old scars?

4) Imagine Y/N cartoons pop out of their double eyes in shock just like their reactions to Luffy's giant head with a pop out of his double eyes and slam his head against the ceiling with his new gear 5 (Wano)

I think that's all I have, Thank you for answering my question!! 💖 Have a good day and night!

Hello! Thank you for your support on determination! I’m not sure when the next part will be out due to being busy with school but I’m doing my best to work on something in determination with Ace :]

For your first question I didn’t know law was a moon god? But besides that I can’t answer this much yet for plot reasons. But Nika is very important in this.

Bartolomeo meeting y/n is the same as it is with the straw hats in canon with him eventually becoming their fan. But I’d say the more time he spends with them the more he becomes a weird kinda uncle. He’s fun and energetic and constantly going on about their accomplishments, he’s not there often but when he is he quite literally appears from nowhere lol

How each of the straw hats react is varied at first but ends up becoming accepting and sad. They all kinda figure it out on their own over time with Luffy being the last (lol). Sanji is the first due to meeting y/n before when he was younger with Zeff, from there the rest of the crew slowly find out from other people and connecting the dots.

lol, them seeing giant gear 5 Luffy wouldn’t be surprising to them. The most surprised reaction they’d get is their eyes widening a bit before returning to their usual chill expression and wave up at him. Nami then is exasperatedly yelling at them to explain how seeing a giant white haired Luffy is not insane. They shrug and say their life is insane at this point and Nami unfortunately has to sadly nod.

#answers #determination!

Chapter 1: S7 "The Bad Batch"

Hunter (The Bad Batch) x Femalejedi!reader

Series Summary: You've always liked clones... At least the ones that you fought with your old Master Obi Wan Kenobi, and your older brother Anakin Skywalker, after your training you became a Jedi Knight General. However, you weren't given a platoon but a small squad... Clone Force 99.

Chapter Summary: You meet the batch and find them really odd. You have to go on a mission with them with Rex and a few other clones. This reveals an old friend.

Masterlist

Genre: Strangers to Friends (sort of) to Lovers

Warnings: cannon typical violence, talk of death, mild injuries, the Force, slight cannon deviation (mostly in later chapters)

Word Count: 2570

Author Notes: As stated in the Masterlist these stories will get spicy so 18+ unless you are old enough to handle the content. This will be more of getting to know the characters and establishing bonds/relationships. I will not be using Y/N, the OC is Aria Skywalker, Anakin's younger sister.

The battle for Anaxes! One of the Republic's largest shipyards is under attack, from Admiral Trench's Separatist Forces. Jedi Generals Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, and Aria Skywalker, lead a two-pronged assault on the ground and in the air. But after weeks of heated battle and mounting losses, the Republic's grip on Anaxes begins to slip away.

"The droids have overrun our main production facility. It won't be long before the Separatists take Anaxes. Compromising our entire fleet." Mace Windu says to Anakin and Aria.

"Pardon the interruption, General, but Rex here has a good theory on why we keep, uh... losing." Commander Cody says to the Generals. "Please, Captain" Windu responds, "The droid army uses analytic to predict our strategy. The first time we use a tactic, it's very effective. The next, less so. In fact, the more we use a certain tactic, the less effective it becomes. They learn our tendencies and use that data against us. To counter them, we're constantly working out ways to vary our attack." Rex says, "But the losses we are experiencing on Anaxes are not commonplace." "Exactly. The counterattacks are so specific, it's my strategy the droids know, my playbook." Cody jumps in, "my concern is that Rex is one of our best. If the droids can learn to defeat him, we may all be vulnerable." "What do you purpose?" Windu Asks, "Let Rex and me take a small squad behind enemy lines. There is a Separatist Cyber Center which relays all battlefield intel to their command ship. If we're going to find anything, it will be there." "If you think that it will help turn this fight around, get going. But take General Skywalker with you" Both Anakin and Aria looked at one another, confused Windu saw the sibling's confusion and said "little Skywalker." Aria smiled at Rex and Cody. "Thank you General" "Rex, is there anything else?" Anakin questioned, knowing something was off with his captain. "No, General."

Aria, Cody, and Rex all go to gear up. "Come on, Rex, time to move out." Cody says going into his barracks, "Fives, Echo, and before that Heavy. There's so many troopers gone." "Yeah, regular folk don't understand. Sometimes in war, it's hard to be the one that survives." "That's what I'm worried about." "Well, what do you mean?" "I didn't tell the Generals. They might think I'm crazy. In fact, you might think I'm crazy." "What is it?" "I think Echo's alive." "That's not possible. He died at the Citadel." "The way the droids are countering us here, the strategies I'm using, they're all old battle plans Echo and I drew up together." "Look, Rex, I hear what you're saying. But it's just not possible." "I hope you're right. But the fact is, Echo's fingerprints are all over the Separatist strategies." "Rex. You have to admit what you're saying is a long shot at best, and most likely, misplaced hope. I need you to be focused on this." "I-I know, I know. Don't worry." Cody heads for the door, "so, what squad are we taking in?" "Clone Force 99."

As Rex and Cody come out, Aria is standing with Jesse and Kix, two more of her favourite clones, other than Rex and Cody. "Look at that, the bromance is done, can we go now?" Aria asks, "hey, you should be used to the bromance, you're constantly surrounded by guys." Jesse says, "watch it, Jesse, we might just leave you here." "Oh snap" Kix says laughing, "Repeat, coming in hot on platform TT-3-9-7." A clone says over the intercom. "Hey come on you three, time to go meet this Clone Force 99." Rex says.

"So why haven't I heard of this squad?" "Yeah, what's up with that, Cody?" Aria said supporting Rex. "Experimental unit Clone Force 99, they're defective clones with, uh... desirable mutations." "99, hey? Nice touch." "They call themselves "The Bad Batch" "hm, creative" Aria says curiously.

The ship's door in front of the 4 clones and Jedi opens showing 4 very different clones, one yells "the cavalry has arrived!" Kix and Jesse stare at each other scared out of the minds, Aria can tell she can't help but laugh a little. They all take off their helmets, still looking very different, one with a small tattoo covering his eye shaped like a target. The next has glasses, then the tallest clone Aria had ever seen. Finally, the fourth was very different, smaller than the others but still a lot taller than her, but it wasn't his height that intrigued her it was half of his face that was also covered in a tattoo, it looked like a skull, matching the one on his red bandana. "These guys are clones? They don't look like clones to me." Kix says

"Sergeant, good to see you again." Cody greets the one with the skull tattoo. "You too, sir." "This is Hunter" Cody says to the rest of us. "Sorry, we're late, Commander. We ere putting down an insurrection on Yalbec Prime when your comm came in. Had a few unforeseen... complications." The big clone chuckles, "ever fought a male Yalbec?" "Um, no. Can't say I have." Jesse says, "ha, you're lucky. Only way to kill 'em is with one of these." He says as he pulls out some kind of blade. "That's right. Wrecker here cut off the Queen's stinger while she was still alive. That's why all those Yalbec males tried to eat us." Hunter says, "uh, technically, they were trying to mate with us. And, for your information, the stinger of a Yalbec Queen is a delicacy on some planets." "They call him Tech." Cody says, "yeah, he can fill your head with useless info for hours." Hunter says, giving him a friendly punch to Tech's arm. "Crosshair, on the other hand, he's not much of a conversationalist, but when you have to hit a precise target from ten clicks, Crosshair's your man." "Impressive" Aria says, "This is General Jedi Knight Aria Skywal-" "As in little sister of General Anakin Skywalker?" Tech says. "Yeah…" Aria responds, "oh my, I've heard so many things about you guys!" "Cool" "hey, Tech, stop fangirling." Crosshair says teasing. "So, Commander, what kind of "suicide mission" do you have for us this time?" Hunter says interrupting. "Let's get going. We'll brief you on the way."

They all got on transport ships and went on their way. "What are you looking at?" Jesse says disturbing the silence. The question was aimed at Crosshair, who responded with, "we don't usually work with "regs."" ""regs?"" "He's talking about regular clones. But don't take it personally." Hunter says, stepping in to avoid any conflict. "We're all on the same team, guys" Cody says. "So cut the attitude and listen up" Aria adds. "Here's the mission. Our target is this Cyber Center. It's the "brains" of the entire Separatist campaign here on Anaxes." Cody debriefs, "I could demolish that with one hand! Yeah!" "This isn't a demo job, Wrecker. It's strictly a retrieval operation." "Dang" "hey, next time Wrecker" Aria says to lift his spirits."

"INCOMING FIRE!" the pilot says, they all try to hold their balance as they get shot at. "We're going down!" Wrecker yells as he laughs. They all crash-land. Wreck and Aria help get everyone out, "We always get shot down when we travel with regs." "Cody! Help!" Kix yells, "He's trapped! We have to do something." "I'll get him" Rex says. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy Captain. Wrecker, get him out." "Get back!" "This is ridiculous. He's gonna need help to get Cody out of there." Crosshair chuckles, "He's gonna get the gunship out of there. Not Cody." Wrecker picks up the ship and throws it, so he can get Cody, then it blows up. "Boom!" they all crowed around Cody. Kix scans for injuries. "He has internal damage. I can cut the pain. But he needs up fast." "We all need help." Crosshair says as he sees droids on their way, "that blast gave away our position." "I thought getting shot down gave away our position." "Everyone find cover" Rex says, "We'll hold those position and let them come to us." "I don't think so, Captain. That's not our style. We prefer going to them. Bad Batch! Plan 82, "Shockwave!"" The Bad Batch bust into action, they defeat all the droids, while the other 5 stand and do nothing.

"That was some show you put on just now" Rex says. "Just doing our job, Captain." Hunter responds, he hears Wrecker laughing. "Hey, look, Crosshair, this little clanker likes you." Crosshair scoffs, "grow up, Wrecker." "We should move out before reinforcements arrive. Our positions has been compromised." Aria says to the Captain and Sergeant.

They're able to get into a small part of the forest and set up a small camp. They all keep to themselves, Kix and Jesse sit together on a rock while Rex is with Cody, and Batchers all together except Hunter who was further off in the distance. Aria was just standing, not knowing what to do. "So, I get what makes the other Batchers unique, but what's so special about Hunter?" Jesse says to Kix "He can put up with the other three." "He was engineered with heightened senses. A place like the Cyber Center, Hunter can feel the electromagnetic frequencies from anywhere on the planet." Tech says. "And here I thought we were smart just using a holomap." Jesse says, "well, maps can be wrong. Hunter never is."

Cody groans, "Cody!" Aria sits next to Rex. "Hey hang in there Cody." Rex says getting up, "listen up. We have to move out." "Commander Cody's in no position to move." "Already called in Evac. Kix will stay with Cody until it arrives. Aria's in charge and as her second in command I have a plan to get into that Cyber Center." "If your plans are so good, why did Commander Cody have to call us in?" Crosshair challenges. "You can't talk to Captain Rex like that!" Jesse says, "says who?" Wrecker says, as he picks up Jesse by his neck. "Put him down!" Kix says. A little fight breaks out. "Wrecker, drop him. Now." "Guys stop, come on." Aria and Hunter say at the same time. The fight stops, "we're all fighting for the same thing, right?" Aria asks, knowing the answer. "Let's cut the chatter and finish what we started. We'll do it your way, Captain. For Commander Cody." Hunter finishes. "Okay, let's gear up and move out."

The 5 troopers and Jedi move out, heading toward the Center. "Not our primary target. It's an outpost. Should we take it?" Hunter asks the Captain, "probably easier than going around." "All right, what are your orders? We pick them off from the tree line one-by-one?" "Actually, I was thinking we'd take a page from your book. Rush them head on." "I like your style."

The battle starts, "ah, clones, get them!" One droid says, Aria cuts off his head and flips over two more, cutting them in half. The 6 quickly take them all out and get inside. They take the platform up, "hey, you're not authorized..." another droid says. Again the droids fall, wrecker had to come up last. "Aw, is it over already? Aw, man!" "Not bad. For a reg." Hunter says to Rex, All right. There it is. The Cyber Center." Tech says, "It looks like the Cyber Center itself has minimal guards, about 30 droids. Oh, wait, wait. I got a massive signal coming in. A whole platoon of droids is headed this way." "Someone's noticed our handiwork back at the crash site" Hunter says, "Yeah, make sure you keep am eye on those incoming Separatist forces. I want to know when they reach this outpost." "You got it, Cap" Tech responds. "We've gotta move swiftly." "We'll grab some speeder bikes and flank them from the back." "Thats smart, Rex, Jesse and I will take the front, and then it will force them to the front to help" Aria says to Hunter. Hunter couldn't speak for a moment, when he first say her, he obviously notice her beauty but now having her ocean blue eyes stare at him, it was almost as if he could move. "You got General" Tech says for Hunter.

They set up for their attack at the Cyber Center. "Is everyone in position?" Rex asks into the comm. "Affirmative." Hunter and Crosshair respond, "Cap, you wanted to know when those Separatist forces breached the outpost. Well, they're getting there just about now."

The battle begins, Aria, Jesse, and Rex take out droids while Crosshair snips some from up top. Tech tries to delicately open the back doors, but wrecker just kicks the door open. "You take too long!" The three clones are in and kill the droids. "Tech, get to work on these computers. We'll go get the regs and the General."

Once they got outside, they killed the remaining droids. "What took you so long, Wrecker?" Aria teased, "hey, this is a "delicate operation." "Better get in there, Cap." Rex heads into the center, as more reinforcements come. Rex finds out that it is not a program but a live signal from another planet; Skako Minor. Crosshair is ordered to find a lift to get them out of there. Hunter, Wrecker, Jesse, and Aria keep fighting. As Aria cuts through some droids, she notices that there is one sneaking up behind Hunter, "Hunter, watch out!" she says as she flips over the droid and cut him in half. "Hey thanks." "Don't mention it." Tech and Rex find an audio proving that the live signal is human, and Rex cannot believe it. "We gotta go! Now!" Aria and the others run inside the Center, "what is taking them so long?" "I don't know, but I'll go check" Aria runs to where Rex is just as Tech asks who it is "CT-1409, Ct-1409" "Rex! Tech!" "I... I don't believe it." "Rex, we gotta go!" Aria yells. They make it back outside and get to Crosshair with the ship he stole.

On the ship, Tech was the first one to break the silence, "that number, Cap, what did it mean?" "CT-1409... that was my friend's Echo's number. He's alive."

The drive back was quiet, Aria was sat beside Hunter and neither were the type to talk. But he wanted to know more about this Jedi. "So… I can’t help but notice that you’re General, but you don’t do much of the ordering." "Well, I haven’t really done ordering before" he looked at her confused. "I don’t control a platoon or a squad, I help other platoon such as the 501st with my brother or the 212th with my old master. So if I go on a mission with Rex or Cody, I let them lead. Plus I don’t like having to boss around clones" "why?" "Well… I believe that clones are people too, some other Jedi don’t see it that way." "Oh… I had no idea" "is that cause you don’t hang out with Jedi?" "Yep, most likely. But you know my last mission there was a fun brunette Jedi who was amazing" "wow, I wonder who that was" they both laughed, and Rex saw that for once in a long time Aria was having fun and laughing again, after… the whole Ahsoka incident.

On Lunar Sway and Classpecting

-aortaObservatory

In my quest to analyze all of the potential classpects that make up Homestuck's Mythological Roles system, I've come to figure that Lunar Sway has an effect on a player's specific classpect as well. A Prospit dreaming Heir of Breath will be a drastically different character in some measures when compared to a Derse dreaming Heir of Breath.

While 144 different individual types of people is a very broad spectrum, people are still individual and unique outside of that. Lunar Sway provides another angle of variation to consider when classpecting, and determines the approach a player may take towards their aspect and their class.

A varied combination of these three may produce up to 288 different individual "types" of players.

Aspect is the force that is most important in a person's life, whether lacking or abundant, whether good or bad, whether they want it or not.

Class is the intended role of the player, and how they interact with or are shaped by their aspect, either actively or passively.

Lunar Sway is the worldview of the player, their perspective on life and the world around them.

To shift gears, so to speak, I also came to the conclusion that aspects and classes both fit into Lunar Sway categories themselves.

Derse

Derse Dreamers have personalities marked by a distinct and restless skepticism. Whatever their waking circumstances, chances are they will live in a state of dissatisfaction (LIFE, PAGE). Rebellion is in their blood, manifesting whether they are fighting back against a fascist dictatorship, or the most recent trend in casual footwear (RAGE). Derse Dreamers are cerebral and self-aware (SYLPH); they have a far better grasp on the landscape of their own minds than on the world around them, which they can find alienating and confusing (MIND). But as so much of their identity is built on control (MAID), they will do their utmost to hide any insecurities, often with false humility or self-deprecating humor. They may be inflexible and pessimistic, but they are also great problem solvers (MAGE), facing conflicts head-on with shrewd, calculating minds. They see one true path among an infinite snarl of wrong ones (LIGHT, SEER). They tend to be introverted, but if you win their trust Derse Dreamers are extremely powerful allies (BLOOD). However, they find sincere vulnerability difficult and will often keep people at arm's length (KNIGHT). Letting go and living in the moment is hard for a Derse Dreamer; they constantly look toward the future and analyze the past (TIME).

DERSE LEANING ASPECTS: Light, Blood, Time | Mind, Life, Rage

DERSE LEANING CLASSES: Mage, Knight, Sylph | Seer, Page, Maid

Prospit

Marked by a flexible optimism, the personalities of Prospit Dreamers are reactive and intuitive. They naturally exist in the present, rather than look to the future or obsess over the past (SPACE). When making decisions Prospit Dreamers tend to rely on gut instinct and whatever emotions they are experiencing at the moment (BREATH). This makes them quick to act and reliable in a crisis, but it also can make them capricious (PRINCE). They have trouble thinking things through, and their feelings toward specific situations and decisions can change from day to day (WITCH). They solve problems with creativity rather than cold logic, often seeing multiple options with ease and clarity (VOID, ROGUE). Because they generally take things as they come, Prospit Dreamers are less rebellious than they are adaptable (THIEF)-instead of struggling against authority, they will find a way to coexist with it (HOPE, BARD). Possibly because they are so instinctual and flexible, they like having a defined set of rules-a safety net for their passionate lives (DOOM). Naturally trusting, they have trouble with deception or hiding their true selves, and will often worry about what others think of them (HEART). The self they project into the world is often not under their control (HEIR).

PROSPIT LEANING ASPECTS: Heart, Doom, Space | Void, Breath, Hope

PROSPIT LEANING CLASSES: Witch, Thief, Prince | Heir, Rogue, Bard

Despite this binary sorting system, it isn't necessarily an automatic tell of Lunar Sway. Nepeta (Rogue of Heart), Eridan (Prince of Hope), and Dirk (Prince of Heart) were all Derse dreamers despite being of Prospit-leaning aspects and classes. Karkat (Knight of Blood), Terezi (Seer of Mind), and Jane (Maid of Life) were all Prospit dreamers despite being of Derse-leaning aspects and classes.

When classpecting, it is also important to consider that Lunar Sway and class may also obscure a player's true aspect. I suppose the more well-known term for this phenomenon is "ghosting", but what I intend to convey by this is that it goes deeper than that, and "ghosting" is not necessarily limited to the Prince/Bard destroyer classes. A player may "ghost" depending on the combination of Lunar Sway, class, and aspect.

To use a canon example, Gamzee was a Prospit dreaming Bard of Rage. His Lunar Sway (Prospit) and his class (Bard, Prospit-leaning) made him appear as a Hope player (Prospit-leaning), and obscured his true aspect, Rage (Derse-leaning).

To use myself as an example, I am a Derse dreaming Seer of Heart. Originally assigned Mind (Derse-leaning) as an aspect by the official TEZ True Sign quiz, I later came to the conclusion that my Lunar Sway (Derse) and my class (Seer, Derse-leaning) had obscured my true aspect, Heart (Prospit-leaning), on the surface level, which a quiz could not accurately or adequately decipher. My desire to know more about myself and about classpecting... culminated in this blog. But you might have figured that out already.

11/11/23

Made the mistake of weighing today.

As Hagrid says, shouldn'ta done that.

204 point something.

Surprised? After 4 meals out this week, not really.

BUT I am not working overtime and I have had great workouts, even if they have been mostly cardio.

I am also trying not to let myself fall into the Fall Pit of Despair that invariably lasts all winter.

I did a 5k on my lunch break (pictured) then added a cooldown (also pictured... not separate workouts).

I relieved myself of the responsibility of giving my friend a birthday gift and got him cash instead. He is broke again... our relationship is strained since I quit drinking and all he does is gamble and work. I also talked myself out of buying him a cake or vodka... because I thought he would much more appreciate the cash. If he is smart he will buy his own gift with it. But more than likely he gambled it last night.

I went to the thrift store before dinner to browse. Bought a hungry girl book and a verilux happylight. Which I was thrilled to find because I was just talking to my cousin about those. I almost bought a paid of size 14 Maurices jeans, but I didn't. Was thinking maybe I should wait to get jeans for a size I don't fit yet. To stop the never ending "must clean out my closet" brigade. Yet I want to go shopping. Dumb, I know... but good choice yesterday. I have to trust that I will be able to find clothes I like when i actually am that size.

I hit the gym for some tanning and stairs after the dinner.

Dinner: Realized that although there were years that I would have loved to go to that restaurant.... I do not like it anymore. Any future meals there will have to be a No from me. It just isn't worth it. I went too ham on the chips and salsa.... even though they weren't good. I was nervous and basically stuffing my face as an unhealthy coping mechanism. Ugg.

I didn't eat the wraps or sour cream. The meal was too much & not enough. I had some bites of rice and it sucked. It just sucked. 2nd sucky meal this week.

The workout was good tho. 8 min in the tanning bed feels like it might have been too much so I will only do 6 mins next time.

60 mins on the stair meal.

Wearing shorts! The nice shorts from Constantly Varied Gear. I am pushing myself to wear things out of the house that would normally scare me. 😱

I wanted a protein bar all day. It is dumb. Do I really whimsically eat 200 calories of anything else? 🤔 Not really yo.

After the workout I took but CBD gummies and lathered myself in a CBD muscle rub. Had 4 no sugar suckers & those low sugarpeach candies.

I need to work on savoring those candies and spacing them out better.

This morning I slept in and missing my 10 am healthy cooking meeting, dammit. I have been slow rolling the morning.

Finished the Jeannette McCurdy book. It hit on so many tough and relatable points in my life.... I loved it.

I won't be happy when my mom dies... my dad was the issued parent for me. But I still have alot of stuff to deal with, at 43.

How would La Squadra show their anger? Like, pure, unadulterated rage

Going to do these in two layers: what that rage would be like against a fellow teammate vs. against an ideal target, which should show the difference between anger and rage.

Risotto: Even though he feels the type who has issues expressing his anger and might prefer avoidance, I feel that in his position it would be forced to come out as telling the teammate he would see them in his office. Meanwhile a pure expression of rage might be him giving the target the murder eyes, going invisible, and hitting them with everything he has a few seconds later.

Formaggio: In the anime, his original high-spirited entry is followed up by a more sullen reply to Illuso's jabs, which feels organic: you know you got him when he stops humoring you. Because of this, I prefer the manga canon for his rage, where he responded to being angered by switching gears and becoming more somber and cold, and therefore more careless and brutal.

Prosciutto: For him we actually have canon to show that when he's angered against a teammate, he will act out and follow it up with a verbal smackdown. Unfortunately for other targets, he happens to have the ability to turn them to dust in seconds, so a complete meltdown on his part might be perfect annihilation to everyone within radius for that one target.

Pesci: He's one of the few who expresses anger by being loud rather than by being violent; I can't see him raising a hand against any teammate or being verbally abusive. In contrast we did get his form of pure unadulterated rage in canon, which tragically was just him taking a stand to fight his target with everything he had, like most characters might normally act without being enraged...

Ghiaccio: Now he will be verbally abusive on top of being loud, and I could see a push coming to literal shove depending on which teammate angered him (Risotto and Prosciutto would be the safest from him). As per canon, in a fit of rage he gets even louder, and he would not be above simply pummeling his target into a pulp in White Album armor while screaming the entire time.

Melone: I see him as the type where the anger is more logical and rational than it is passionate; he will raise his voice and argue, but he is much further from taking things personally than any of the others might. Because of this, even his pure rage would be way more controlled because it simply lacks that edge of malice the others might be more prone to feel and express.

Illuso: Another person whose anger is more audible than it is potent. Because of his defensive streak, he would constantly be lashing out and drawing back with varying degrees of ill will. Take it any farther with a random target and he would still be violent only as a last resort, as shown with Abbacchio and the mirror shard. His bark will always be louder than his bite.

Sorbet: A little similar to Illuso, but because he is less afraid of repercussions and consequences, his malice is more poignant and the cold shoulder treatment that follows is more lasting. When this gets free reign, he would start throwing his weight around in the background, orchestrating misfortunes for his target and standing back to admire the chaos.

Gelato: Funnily enough, I feel like he would be one of the healthiest in this regard because I can't see him actually holding onto grudges. If he's angered, he'll cuss you out and forget about it in five minutes or less; and even where he can give in to the full extent of his anger, the worst that might come of it is a regular fight. To my mind he is simply more built for shenanigans than for vengeance.
