hey!! i love your writing so so much oh my god. your account is just perfect– if it's not too luch to ask (and forgive me if this is a little long) can i request headcanons with taskforce 141 + masc reader???

reader's kind of distant from the rest of the task force. they all get along with him just fine, does what he's asked to do on missions and all that, but he just feels kind of... absent. nobody really gets what his deal is, but they've gotten used to him. (BONUS POINTS IF HE ALSO WEARS A MADK HE DOESNT TAKE OFF THAT OFTEN... i wanna be cool too </3)

one day he wakes them up, and (to their surprise) tells them that he had a nightmare. this is the softest his voice has ever been and the most he's ever opened up– just. fluff and comfort lolz :p

FIRST TIME WITH FLUFF OR COMFORT!!!

i’ve always had a hard time writing this kind of stuff but i’m cleaning out my inbox so.. ^^

SORRRYYY IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO GET TO THIS >3<

it sorta implies angst?? like the nightmare is something serious of an issue?? idk

(Callsign will be Anon to make it easier for me ☹️)

Anon has always been distant, keeping some space and never really contributing to any of the conversations x But they still treasure him just as much as each other. They understand that some people just have a hard time with stuff like that or just don’t wanna get into it in general.

Soap and Ghost always makes constant visual checks to see if he’s still part of the group, since he’s always quite as a mouse it’s hard to keep track of him. Price would make sure to save a seat for him whenever he’s a little late. And Gaz would always check up on you from time to time.

They make sure you felt part of the team. Just because Anon doesn’t really have a deep connection with any of them doesn’t make him any less one of them.

—

In the middle of a mission they all had to sleep in a safe house for the night. A rather small one since they had to share a room together. Sleeping bags all lined up across the room. One soldier found it hard to get at least a wink of sleep. Price’s and Soap’s loud and grumbling snoring didn’t really disturb them since it was practically white noise to him now.

After half an hour Anon finally found the ability to be carried into rest. It was peaceful for a while. Until he woke up violently, body twitched when he woke up from how intense it was. He found that it was hard to keep his breathing under control and try to focus on one thing. Physically and emotionally.

He put this off as a last resort and tried everything to calm himself down. But when all else failed he turned to Ghost beside him. Reaching for his mask and hastily pulling his mask over his head, hesitating before bringing his hand up to shake Ghost awake, he’s a light sleeper anyway.

“What? What happened?” After a second to comprehend what was happening he sat up and looked around, thinking something happened, like someone broke in or someone found them. But once he saw his comrade’s, somewhat, relaxed but worried eyes and stopped.

Sitting up fully and comfortably, he asked if everything was alright. Judging by his lack of response Ghost nodded, immediately understanding and not making a big deal out of it since this is way out of his comfort zone.

“Go on.” He nodded his head, sitting next to him and relaxing against the wall, still half asleep but still willing, very willing, to listen and comfort if needed. Ghost listened intently as Anon began to explain and mumble out what happened in his sleep.

“Uhm.. Fuck— Now that I’m thinking about this, it sounds stupid—” Looking down and fiddling with the edge of his sleeping bag Anon’s interrupted by Ghost.

“Just tell me. You’ve already got me up” He’s probably not the best one for comfort, but he knows he’s trying, not the best with his words, but he’s willing to listen.

It stuns him for a second with his bluntness, but chuckles lightly, knowing that he really does wanna listen. He starts to explain, second guessing himself every couple sentences, but slowly he gets more comfortable with sharing.

Halfway through Soap starts to stir and move in his sleep, making both stop and just stare. Turning around to see both sleeping bags empty, Soap immediately sits up and searches for them, only to see them off the side, sitting together.

“Oh.. shit..” He calms himself down, both Ghost and Anon look at each other before looking back at Soap. He slowly sits up and crawls over to where they are, next to Anon so he’s between Ghost and Soap.

“What’re you two doin’ up?” Somehow his accent is deeper when he’s half-awake. Slouching back against the wall, almost leaning on Anon’s shoulder.

“I couldn’t sleep after.. a.. uhhh… nightmare” Anon was hesitant to explain, wondering if waking up his friends were really worth it, hoping that they wouldn’t make fun of him. Soap just hums in response.

“Nightmare? Al’right. Continue” To Anon’s surprise, Soap wants in too. He looks back to Ghost who just shrugs and nods, silently telling you that it’s up to him whether he wants to share or not.

Before Anon can even start again, both Price and Gaz wake up, both confused as fuck, but following along, dragging their sleeping bags over to him. They were all now wide awake, Price laying back in his sleeping bag, arms crossed, half-awake but still lucid enough to understand stuff coherently.

Anon started to explain again, relaxed to see how supportive his teammates are with how little they really know about him. Once he got to a certain part of the nightmare, the part that really made it a nightmare, his lungs felt tight once again.

Suddenly his mask felt so thick and concrete, he had to lift it up to his nose to breathe. Blubbering out apologies between breathes as they tried not to stare too much.

“Nah, nah. You’re fine” Ghost reassured him through his mutters, rubbing his back to try and soothe him. It didn’t, but it was something. Something that they were there to listen.

“Don’t force yourself if you don’t wanna tell” Gaz nodded, not wanting to force Anon to go too much out of his comfort zone, in the chance that he changed his mind and wasn’t okay with sharing this kind of stuff.

“I’m fine.. fine” Anon nodded his head, realizing how much of his face he exposed and tried to cover it up with his hands so he can still breath. But for those couple seconds that his lower half of his face was open. A large, old, scar decorated his lips, diagonally going from the top right to bottom left, almost reaching his chin.

With something so unexpected being exposed, the fact that Anon even reached out, it made them all alert to watch out for his emotions and how he’s feeling. But what was most surprising for them, was how he talked. It was usually so stern and short, always getting straight to the point. Almost robot like. But now, it’s softer, more warm but sorta confused, he fumbled in his words a little but it was just so different than how he is out on the base.

An hour has passed, but now that all of that is out of Anon’s head, and everything, almost everything, was off his chest, the sleepiness started to catch up to him. In the midst of Ghost explaining how he was feeling and the possible reason for it, Anon was already asleep, snoring softly as he struggled to keep up.

They knew that this was something you’d never do. So it was a sort of shock for him to break his blocked off demeanor. But it made them feel good that Anon even considered venting. Even if it was something small like a complaint or something annoying, they wanted him ti let it out.

(this has been in my drafts for forever T-T)

I have a blurb request (or it can be headcanons it’s up to you and it’s totally no rush like take your time ily.) but Youngest Adopted Roy sibling, Tom, and Greg being the trio that everyone thought Kendall, Shiv, and Rome would be. Like you have three underdogs, three people that most would never place bets on just absolutely proving ppl wrong.

honestly idk if I did this the way you were envisioning it but it’s here :0 if you want me to redo it just tell me what you want to change and it’ll happen :P

the first non x reader on my profile, what have you done to me… /lh

thank you for requesting anon, I love uuuuu

word count: 999 (completion and new beginnings!!!)

CEO, COO, MPH

“Fucking move, Gregory.”

“I would if I had space, but I don’t!”

You’re crammed in between the two of them as they bicker. “It’s a small ass elevator, and that’s fine,” you hiss, the elevator finally coming to a halt on the sixtieth floor. The three of you were here on a mission: get them to sell. You were meeting with the heads of a company Logan’s been lusting after, and it was imperative that you got them to fork over their rights.

It’s not that you were so good at your job that Kendall had decided to send you with Tom and Greg, it’s that Logan wants the sellers to think that they’re not taking this seriously. So they send two randoms along with the head of some department at Waystar. You feel oh so important.

Tom smooths his tie down as you walk slowly through the hall. “I know this is all just pretend for Logan, but I’m going to actually try.” He glances back at you. “You help me do the talking. Greg gets to just sit there and look pretty.”

“But I- I have things to say, too,” Greg protests quietly, Tom shouldering open the conference room door.

“Just don’t say anything stupid,” Tom replies quickly before pasting a dazzling smile on his face, turning to the few people gathered in the room. “Gentlemen. How are you, how are you? I haven’t seen you fine folks in a while.”

You and Greg exchange a glance. You nudge him forward into a few handshakes, following suit as the sellers and their lawyers go from Tom, to Greg, to you. You take your seat in between the two, across from all of the other men.

“I don’t think I’ve seen either of you before,” the CEO says, awkwardly smiling. He gestures vaguely in the direction of you and Greg.

“They’re two of my most trusted, and between you and me, my most favorite,” Tom says smoothly.

“I handle all relations, communications, and media,” you supply, keeping your face passively sweet. “I was the one you were emailing with before all of this.”

The CEO’s eyebrows raise in recognition. “Oh, you! I don't know why I didn't recognize your face. I've read all of your work, actually been to all of your press conferences. You're so delightedly and properly educated, unlike your siblings. You were much more pleasant than the first person we spoke to.” He leans in conspiratorially, glancing at Greg when he speaks his next bit. “I know you’re technically both Roys, but Siobhan was less than pleasant to interact with. I don’t know how either of you do it. You don’t understand the relief the lot of us felt when they said we’d be meeting with you all instead. The first sit down we had?” He shakes his head.

“Yeah, uh, they can be intense,” Greg replies, eyes brightening. “Sometimes it feels like I’m in over my head, you know?”

The CEO nods, sighing. “I think we’re all friends here, and friends can be honest.” His eyes flick over the three of you. “And if I’m honest, we’re a little… apprehensive about this entire thing.”

Tom leans forward in his seat, his brow furrowing in concern. “Is it the money? Because I can assure you, the number isn’t the issue.”

The CEO shakes his head, a hand running over his chin. “No, no. The money is… it’s amazing, what can we say?” Polite laughter echoes through the room. “It’s just… the management.”

Tom nods, shifting back into an upright position. “Well, that can be sorted, can’t it? What are we thinking?”

“What was offered to us, Mr. Wambsgans, is that Roman Roy takes over the company from us for whatever number we thought appropriate. We like the money, we just need someone different at the helm.”

Tom hums. “I think for us to rearrange things, we’d have to give you a number. And it’ll probably be much lower than you want it to be, just because of… personnel issues.”

“See, I think the three of you would do a fantastic job, based on how we’ve interacted over the last month.” The CEO leans back in his chair. He points at Tom, then Greg, then you. “I see a CEO, a COO, and a Media and Press Head. At least, ones I’d be happy with handing my company to. And as long as we’re still over the seven figures, as initially agreed, then I suppose the money isn’t an issue.”

“We’ll relay the message,” Greg tells him, smile on his face.

“Ah, I know where I know you from, now!” The CEO’s face lightens. “You’re the fellow that helped out with the shareholder issues we were having back in October! You were a ray of fucking sunlight, I tell you. I thought the shareholders were going to dump us, I have no idea how you did it.”

Greg looks surprised. “Oh, I, uh, didn’t know you knew about that. I was kind of just given the order, and, um, I got involved, yeah.”

“I’m quite glad you did. Well, now I’m sure. I trust the three of you with my life, and I trust the old geezer as far as I can throw him. If he can come to terms with the three of you leading the troops into war, the company’s good as yours. Retirement’s on the horizon, for me…”

The CEO drones on for what feels like several more years, talking about his new young girlfriend and all the things he planned on doing once he’s retired. The vacations he’d take, the people he’d meet… You checked out after twenty minutes.

When you’re finally done and out in the hall, and nobody’s around, Tom pumps his fist in the air. “Fuck yes!”

“Did that just happen? Did we just do that?” Greg asks.

Tom doesn’t respond, just loops an arm around both you and Greg, and hoists you both into the air in victory.

hey i’m not sure if you’ve gotten this question before but do you have any random carmy headcanons?? i feel like talkin about the best boy in chicago :)

omg no one has asked me this before ty! i spend all my time thinking about carmy so i would love to talk about the bestest boy <3

ok assorted random messy carmy headcanons:

• he’s got undiagnosed adhd and i’ve got an entire list of justifications for this headcanon if anyone cares

• carried round a little teddy bear when he was a kid because i mean he’s literally called bear someone bought that kid a teddy bear.

• his favourite meal he’s ever had is something mikey made. probably the braciole

• got some jokes made at his expense by the international staff at noma for being italian american. “you don’t know how to make real authentic italian food, your family makes american garbage” kind of stuff

• probably had one dickhead teacher at school (everyone’s had at least one) who wanted him to stand up and read aloud in spite of his stutter. got shit for that and for not making eye contact with the class when he spoke. poor boy suffered so much at school :(

• first thing he ever learned to “cook” as a tiny little baby was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. he doesn’t remember this bc he was too young but mikey put him up on a chair in the kitchen and showed him use a butter knife

• more of a mikey headcanon, but little mikey *did not* want another younger sibling. was not into the idea at all. then carmy was born and he immediately loved his baby brother more than anything in the whole entire world 💔

• the idea of virgin carmy is very endearing to me and just makes sense given the combination of his anxiety, the way his self hatred manifests in him just not allowing himself like anything good at all, and his lack of social life. but even if he has had sex before he’s still like had zero relationship experience but i mean that part’s canon.

• i like the idea of his angels tattoo being the very first one he got since it’s for sugar and mikey

• i don’t know when and i don’t know how but he gets that denim jacket he sells in the pilot back. me and jeremy allen white are in agreement on this.

• his mommy issues fascinate me. i don’t think she was ever abusive to carmy but between trying to run the beef and raise three kids on her own she probably didn’t have as much time for him as she wanted to and when she was around she was stressed and agitated and not great company. like her sons she probably had some undiagnosed mental illness going on and that had a big impact on carmy. probably worse than it did with mikey and sugar since they had their dad around longer. and i imagine carmy’s probably more like his mom than he ever wants to think about.

• speaking of his dad, i think carmy hates himself so much he probably sometimes thinks “oh maybe if i hadn’t been born maybe my dad would still be around. maybe one more kid was just too much and if it had only been mikey and sugar it would be fine.” he’s wrong of course, but this is the same boy who blames himself for mikey dying.

um ok i probably have a million more carmy thoughts but this is running long so here you go anon!

also if anyone ever wants to come into my ask box and talk about carmy (or sydney or richie!) please do i love to hear people’s thoughts!!!

hi! may i request headcanons for polnareff, hol horse, caesar, mista and gyro reacting to their s/o flirting with them while they're both fighting against some random enemy please?

This is kind of all over the place but I was kind of struggling with this prompt, even though it's super cute and can definitely make for some fantastic headcanons. Anyway, sorry this took a while.

Also the French in Jean's part has summaries in English in parenthesis. Sorry, I can't help myself when I write about my French husband.

Jean Pierre Polnareff

Bless his heart he really does try to stay calm when you start your usual antics during a fight with a user you two encountered alone

But it is very hard to focus on the task at hand with your constant teasing

“Tu viens souvent ici, mon amour?” (come here often?)

“Mon ange, je t’aime, mais ce n’est pas le temps!” (i love you but now is not the time)

You laughed

“il est toujours temps de te faire rougir!” (there's always time to make you flustered)

Your current enemy didn’t seem to enjoy your little back and forth, planting a punch on your stomach that knocked the wind out of you and sent you flying

Polnareff panicked, shouting your name as he countered the attacks of your foe

“Je vais bien!” you called, wiping the blood now dribbling from your lip (i'm good)

Did you have a slight issue of getting off track and constantly flirting with your husband when you should be paying attention to the battle at hand?

Yes

But you couldn’t help yourself

You loved him dearly and always wanted him to know that he was on your mind

Because what if one day

That’s the last thing he hears?

Hol Horse

Hol Horse is usually to focused in on the moment to do anything else but fight, but he can’t help himself during the end of one battle

His hat had flown off of him, and you managed to snag it, placing it on your head for the rest of the fight

By the time everything was over, you were still wearing it, checking over your husband for any injuries

“Are you good, hon? You got hit pretty hard,” you asked worriedly

“Oh I’m fine, sweetheart. I can’t help but notice yer wearin’ my hat.”

“Oh yeah”

You took it off, placing it on his head

“I just didn’t want it to get destroyed during the battle, I didn’t have time to give it back to you”

“Oh I’m not mad, darlin’. I just hope you know what this means for tonight.”

You placed a peck on his cheek

“Sweetie, you’ve used the same tactic more times than I can count. I know what it means.”

Caesar Zeppeli

When you and Ceasar start to whisper sweet nothings to each other, it’s not a problem for anybody else

Except Joseph

Because he just has to butt in to every conversation Caesar has

“Can you two get a room! I’m trying to save the world here while you’re off smacking each other’s asses!”

You roll your eyes

“That was one time—”

The feeling of a slap on your ass makes you hit Caesar in the arm

“Two times. But still, talk during battle is only a sign of weakness if you’re too dumb to do two things at once!”

“(Y/N)! Are you calling me dumb?”

“If the shoe fits, JoJo!”

“Caesar, butt out of this!”

Somehow, the only people you end up fighting at the end of the day are each other.

No surprise there

Guido Mista

Please do not ever flirt with Mista during a fight

He has a one track mind

I repeat

Do not

He will end up shooting himself

Somehow

All the time

Every time

Please save the dirty-talk for afterwards

God bless him

Gyro Zeppeli

(I have completely forgotten his character imma be completely honest so if this is ooc i apologize it’s been a while since i’ve read part 7)

There is really only one thing on his mind the entirety of the race

Winning

And while he would do anything for you

He will get pretty heated if something you say distracts him enough to put him at a disadvantage

He loves hearing your voice at night, and would do anything to keep you in his arms forever

But he’s also pretty hard-headed about his priorities at the moment

And during most of the day, that’s not you

While that can seem rude, he can only imagine how happy the two of you will be if he wins and gets everything that comes with it.

A Very, Very Unfinished Pile of Theory of Everything Headcanons (Ayreon)

Last semester, my English final was a presentation relating the overall theme of the Forever saga to that of the more popular works of H.G. Wells. Details of that argument aside, the thesis was that Ayreon’s emotional core was the presence of small-scale acts of love juxtaposed against large-scale existential tragedy, balanced in their individual power. That we are messy and self-destructive, and in the grand scheme of things we mean very little in the universe, but we are resilient and alive and human and that has to be worth something.

I really like this aspect of the main story, and it got me a perfect score on that assignment. It had a ten minute time limit and I was fighting for my life to stay under it. While I was downsizing the script, I couldn’t help but think of an earlier idea I had drafted about how The Theory of Everything on its own was a really incredible example of the mad scientist archetype turned completely on its head (it was a science-fiction analysis class). Specifically how that script was almost three times longer than the original H.G. Wells one, that took me a solid twenty minutes to read aloud.

I literally wrote an hour long lecture about The Theory of Everything. No headcanons. No extra theories. Literally just picking apart its canon plot.

I think this is why I have so little extra writing for it. The story as its given is airtight and just…fucking incredible. Arjen wrote it with a very clear theme in mind like he did with Transitus, but TToE isn’t missing half of its story because he couldn’t pull in the cash to make a movie out of it. You can feel the intention behind every single character, they feel like real people, it has so many layers to it and it is literally, objectively, the greatest prog album ever made. Fight me.

But anyways: For lack of better phrasing, there isn’t much to “fix” in that sense. Almost all the headcanons I have for The Source or Transitus boil down to a few things:

I was being self-indulgent with a favorite character and it snowballed into a genuinely informative trait/subplot that informs the main story (a certain hc I have where Henry just fucking shoots Daniel in the back by mistake sometime between Two Worlds and Talk of the Town, turning into this weirdly effective commentary of how Daniel is conditioned to his brother’s shitty behavior and Abby hauling ass to get him out of that headspace)

I am curious about aspects of an album’s worldbuilding and get a little excited while filling in the blanks that were perfectly fine being left alone (doing mental gymnastics trying to build a version of The Source where these five academics, three politicians, two religious figures, one robot and one random spaceman viably know each other)

The rarer option that I am genuinely disappointed by how a part of the story was handled and completely ignore this small part of canon to make the overall story be more effective. Or attempt it, at least (Lavinia’s entire character undermining Transitus’ themes and her contradicting her own motivations, and me, in turn, just writing her character from scratch while keeping with the basic story beats [her seeing ghosts, doing shady shit with Henry, etc.])

But with TToE I’ve felt very little need to do any of these. If I were to really dive into it with intention I think I would start building off of the whole bank robbery plot in Phase III (just a slightly weirdly framed plot point for me), but I haven’t thought about it. It’s not that glaring of an issue and there’s few other places in the story where I think adding anything would make it more effective.

This isn’t to say that Transitus and The Source are objectively worse in any sense, but they leave a lot more up to interpretation, allowing me to write so many add ons that they become structured and essential to each other’s function.

It’s fun with those two albums. With TToE I really have to look for cracks to fill and it’s kind of useless.

Not entirely, though. I’ve got a few hcs, and maybe they’ll warrant dozens of google doc pages of context one day like the other two albums:

Two central things sparked curiosity. Setting, and how the parent characters came to hate each other that much. Naturally.

This started four-ish years ago when I was pacing around my parents’ house with TToE on the mind (as it often is), and my brother put on this show called His Dark Materials. I watched the intro to it all of one time and just…knew this was the aesthetic TToE should have.🔗 At least combined with dark academia. It’s an album about physics and ghosts, that seems reasonable enough.

…funnily enough, as I later found out, His Dark Materials itself has a very dark-academia-esque vibe, and the plot is entirely based upon the intersectionality between science and mysticism and trivial human attempts to make sense of it.

So. Pretty fitting.

This really stuck with me, and a handful of the characteristics of the show and books became the basis for the way I picture The Theory of Everything. Mainly the visual aesthetic, like I said, but also the fact that the story starts at a parallel version of Oxford University. I don’t have some giant case study for this like with Transitus/New England. I just think it’d be a cool and vibey setting. Maybe it’s the American in me but there’s something about a thousand-year-old college with a campus made of literal goddamn castles that borders on the fantastic.

From there, you have a decent excuse for The Prodigy to run off to Ireland, where you can choose from one of like 200 different pretty little isolated lighthouses for him to lose his mind in, far enough away for him not to be found as long as he did. Not to mention it lowkey matches with the overt Celtic influence of the music. Or Scotland, if you want some weather symbolism from the North Sea.

Solid setting, if I say so myself, and it actually influenced the family’s whole situation. Here, The Father (Mike) is a physics professor at Oxford, and The Mother (Cristina) is the director of the Bodleian Library. It’s how and where they meet in 1991 (though the mother is in an attendant position at the time), as shown by the only part of this I have drawn out:

They hit it off, and marry in 1993. Their first and only child is born two years later and they love him half to death. Everything is more or less nice and normal.

In 1996, Mike stumbles into “proof,” more or less, of the theory of everything being a singular, solvable equation through his work, practically by accident, and begins focused work on it with enthusiastic support from his wife. Life is going great, Cristina is promoted and the two are balancing things well enough.

The boy shows little to no social development into his toddler years, but his parents don’t think much of it. His father was similar at his age; they’re not worried. They even go as far to say he’ll turn out just as ambitious and smart as his dad and relatives, coworkers and family friends go along with it, setting insanely high expectations for this literal three year old. Mike keeps working on his theory.

The boy enters preschool at age four; still no improvement. Just isolates himself and draws indiscernible patterns on everything you put in front of him. His parents finally try to intervene to some degree, hiring private instructors and talking with some other psych/child development people they know through the university, to no avail. Nothing changes. He just stares off into space, doesn’t interact with any of them and supposedly doesn’t pay attention to lessons. He still isn’t speaking. Cristina is finally concerned

Around the same time, Mike makes a significant breakthrough in his work, gaining worldwide attention. He receives massive grants from in and outside of Oxford to continue his work, and quits his teaching job to make more time for the endeavor. Cristina is left as the family’s sole provider. She understands and is in agreement on that decision, that’s not the problem yet. The problem is that Mike is becoming more or less indifferent to their son hits five, not seeing any previously projected greatness he was supposed to have in his father’s footsteps. Cristina, much more conscious of balance in her life and how having kids works, isn’t sure what to make of that. Their relationship starts to strain.

From there, as Mike keeps working, Cristina takes the kid to all sorts of specialists around England but none of them can pinpoint what’s “wrong” with him. She tries much more actively to connect with him like they’re telling her to (though she still enrolls him in the university’s affiliated primary school program, against their suggestions), bringing him everywhere. Buys him little memory games since that’s all that seems to hold his attention. She’s past any belief of him being some secret genius like his dad, not that her opinion of her husband is super positive at this point anyway. She’s just dead-set on her son having some sense of normal in his life.

By 2002, Mike has completely secluded himself and works nearly constantly. He has made no progress on his theory since 1999 and the fame garnered from his breakthrough has faded. The family is running out of money and Cristina is exhausted. The boy is ostracized at school and still (almost) totally nonverbal. Her coworkers keep suggesting these weird holistic remedies that she refuses. She knows better than to fall for all that new age, pyramid scheme bullshit.

The son’s condition, whatever it is, worsens until mom, desperate, puts her foot down in 2008 (or “gives up,” if you wanna put it like that) and drags her husband and son to this private practice in Scotland she was told about by a friend, suspicious but ready to put up with anything at this point.

😐👍

You know I don’t think I’ve ever rly done a post on why I like Mako, my forever blorbo:

He’s just the kind of neutral character I like and I think it’s because I really don’t have a strong personality and I tend to like characters some people think are boringg because they’re the straight man. Scott Summers was my favourite x-man lol.

He has weird eyebrows. It’s a plus for sure.

He has a tragic backstory, but it’s trauma that’s related to poverty. His parents were killed young and he’s been in a caretaker role since he was eight. That leaves him emotionally stunted. Emotional constipation is my jam. There is literally a post compiling all of the characters in the legend of korra crying, and Mako isn’t in it because he doesn’t cry. I think he needs a good cry.

Also his parents were killed by a firebender, he is a firebender, the show never explores this juicy source of angst.

He generally cares and is very protective over his friends. He doesn’t even really hide it, at the start of book 1 it’s clear he only cares about the people he cares about. This changes by book 4 when he sacrifices himself for the city. His world has expanded.

There’s a ruthless side to Mako, he can be a little dark, see how he threatened people for Korra in book 1 (and then Wu in book 4 lol?). He killed Ming-Hua and my own HC is that he was probs fine with because out of the four I think Mako is the most pragmatic (though tbh I don’t think we’ve seen all of what Asami can offer so maybe second most. Think Asami would murder easily).

I like his dynamic with Bolin a lot, and a lot of book 3 slaps because of this (ignore whatever the jail thing in book 2 because it’s just strange.)

I also like his dynamic with Wu which is why I’m a wuko shipper lol.

He is a very bad communicator. I think that’s neat, because communication is actually something people in general suck at talking, and I don’t ever really like people saying ‘just talk!’ A response to characters conflict, because people don’t just fucking talk to each other. Communication is hard.

Mako starts an eighteen year old who thinks he knows everything but really doesn’t. The only person he has had to rely on his entire life is himself, so his outlook on the world is very warped by his own perception of it, so I think he lacks introspection and can’t really relate to many people emotionally so he couldn’t understand Korra’s frustrations in book 2 (though yes to say Korra was also in the wrong). By book 4 he has grown more chill to trust and support Korra implicitly (who has also grown as well).

I love the breakups. Mako and Korra and Asami all seemed to like each other but never really understood one another. A lot of the issues between them were not just started by Mako (ppl forget Korra initiated the love triangle by kissing Mako without asking when she knew he had a gf) and it’s just teenagers being dumb and not being honest with eachother. I don’t think the writers set out do this in book 1 but by choosing to end the relationships in book 2 I feel like there was some awareness to the flaws present in the relationships. It is, accidentally, one of the more realistic relationships squabbles on a kids show. I love that shit because I’m weird.

All of this leads to this incredibly flawed doofus who means well. I think that’s blorbotastic.

Anyway because most of the fandom hate for the relationship drama is towards Mako I feel the need to defend him since it’s just not that bad. I also feel the need to explain every time that Mako dying would have been a very bad way to end the series, please guys, I will fight you in the streets over this.

None of this is very well explored in canon. I don’t think Mako is a blank slate character, a lot of his character is defined early on and is consistent, but it is not well developed beyond the initial setup at all. This is great for fanfic and it’s fun for headcanons. Hooray!

Because it’s underdeveloped your headcanon doesn’t need much time to work with canon as long as you actually watch the series.

#mako #tlok #lok #legend of korra #it’s half two. why did I feel the need to explain this now

A Long Night Paid Off-Shouta Aizawa x Male! Reader

Male! Reader, wanted to throw a fic together cause it’s been a while since I’ve done a full length fic, fluffy content, Aizawa being really sweet and gentle, kinda pulled a few ideas from the headcanons post bout Zawa

TW for mild gore description, wounds, blood, and wound cleaning

CIS Women and Female Aligned people, please DNI, this story and all of my others are for non-binary, masculine aligned and male readers!

The villain was supposed to be low level and borderline harmless, but of course things are never what they seem here. He had gotten more than a few good cuts in you by the time the fight was over. Now normally those wouldn’t be an issue, just get the costume patched up at your agency then do the same to your wounds. But herein lies the issue, one of the largest cuts was on your back, in a spot you couldn’t exactly reach.

“God damnit, I didn’t want to have him have to patch me up tonight.” Sighing as you made your way up the stairs to your apartment, finally the door number you had come to call home came into view. Pulling out your keys you unlocked the door trying to be quiet upon your entry, but you can never sneak around another Pro Hero, especially one like EraserHead.

“Sit down on the counter, I’ll get the med-kit.”

“Holy shit Sho, you scared the fuck out of me.”

“And you scared the shit out of me by coming home like that without cleaning any of those.” He had a point, he always does. Opening the medical box he began to pull out some alcohol wipes, a smaller bottle peroxide, bandages, gauze, and some antibacterial ointment.

“Come stand over the sink so I can pour this.” You obeyed his command and moved to the sink where he began to pour some of the peroxide over some of the wounds. “I thought we agreed that you would be more careful out there.”

“We did, and I tried, but when the villain has three sickles he’s swinging it makes it a little hard.”

“Turn around, I want to see that big one.” And you thought he hadn’t seen the one on your back quite yet. Turning around, Shouta carefully poured some of the peroxide over it, collecting whatever dropped down your back with a kitchen rag. This was the only one that you actually felt the sting of the peroxide on, but you knew the alcohol wipes would be worse when those got used. “I know it hurts, you’ve never gotten anything this bad back here, the nerves haven’t been damaged yet.”

Once he was done with the peroxide he helped you move back over to the counter, holding your hips to help you up onto the granite slab. Opening a couple of the alcohol wipes he gently swiped the wounds to clean them up from debris or excess blood that dripped from them. Finally after what felt like an eternity of stinging, he unrolled the bandage roll and unpacked the gauze. Carefully using the gauze to spread some of the antibacterial ointment onto the wounds he used his other hand to grab the wrap and begin covering the large one on your back.

“There, that should be it.” Shouta stepped back from the counter as you looked over everything he did to you.

“Thank you…sorry you had to be the one to patch me up, again.” Moving closer to you he put his hands on your waist and placed his forehead against yours.

“I would always prefer being the one to clean you up after a fight because then at least I know you’re getting patched up properly. Now, it’s late, and we’re both tired, let’s get to bed handsome.” Humming in agreement you tried to stand off the counter only for Shouta to grab your thighs and pick you up.

“I can walk just fine Sho, I don’t need you to carry me to bed.”

“But then I don’t get to do this.” Cutting off his sentence short he carefully moved one hand to squeeze your ass. The action only made you groan as the dark haired man only chuckled in response. Once he made it to the bedroom, he dropped you on the bed before climbing in with you.

“Goodnight Sho, I love you”

“I love you too (y/n)”

Hi there! I sent the ask you screenshotted about Sansa and Arya. Your post popped up in my recommended! I wanted to clear things up: I have come up with this kinder interpretation of the underlying source of Sansa’s atrocious treatment of Arya because I love Arya and it makes me sad to think that one of her only living family members really truly hates her. I think the way Sansa treated her is just awful and really inexcusable for a girl her age. I have a little sister and thought I “hated” her for the first few years of her life (when I 3-5) but I didn’t hate her. I was scared because I had separation anxiety my sister took up so much of my parents’ time and energy because she never slept and cried all the time. Of course I didn’t treat her anything like Sansa treated Arya, but I took these feelings I had as a very young child, this misplaced false “hatred” and tried to look for an explanation for Sansa’s behavior that wasn’t just true hatred. Because I’d love for them to reunite and eventually develop a healthy sibling relationship.

It’s not like I think she’s CONSCIOUSLY concerned for Arya. She’s never expressed concern for Arya and her whereabouts and safety in her chapters. But we’re hardwired to care for our family. I think she just struggles to reconcile her family love and her conformist nature because she’s a kid who doesn’t have the emotional maturity or self awareness to resolve these feelings. It’s like how Arya has occasionally expressed frustration with her struggles to perform in “ladylike” activities. Arya doesn’t truly wish she was more ladylike. What she really wants is to be accepted, loved, and praised. She sees Sansa being praised for these things and envies this praise. Thankfully, her desire to be herself outweighs her desire for praise, so doesn’t try to force herself to conform. Just another example of how kids sometimes misidentify their feelings.

I never meant to try to excuse Sansa’s behavior. I do not relate to her as a character at all. I relate mostly to Daenerys but also a lot to Arya, especially my childhood self. As we got older, my sister became a strict conformist whereas I’m a non-conformist and for most of our lives she’s been pretty cruel to me for being different. I guess in a way I project Sansa into her, if that makes sense, because that’s how I’ve come to understand my sister’s treatment of me. She does what she thinks she needs to do be treated well, and it stresses her out that I don’t conform. I think people do have a right to hate Sansa and criticize her treatment of Arya. I guess my only point is that I wish people gave her a little more sympathy and tried to see that her actions, though inexcusable, may have some more complications roots than just Sansa hates her sister.

If you’re going to like, accuse me of secretly being a Sansa stan, know that I have a replica of needle displayed on my wall. I truly wholly love Arya almost as much as I love Dany. Hopefully this is coherent!

I'm stopping at the part where you admit that your reasoning is based on a headcanon of yours.

That is quite literally the problem here and what I was addressing—you are minimising what is being said and mentioned in the text. You agree that it is horrendous how much Sansa does not care, nor would I say she actually holds much love in general for her. So what is the purpose of this exchange?

Not everyone in your family is going to like you. That's fine. The approach that Sansa has in regards to anything Arya does or says is not. It's deliberately abnormal on the author's part. That is why Sansa was created in the first place—as a means of discourse amongst the family.

Arya was one of the first characters created. Sansa came about as a total opposite b/c too many of the Stark family members were getting along and familes aren't like that. Thus, Sansa was created; he ended by saying they have deep issues to work out.

[Source]

Trying to excuse any part of their antagonistic dynamic in favour of a headcanon is not what the author intended.

Not me sending an ask but then ignoring the ones in my own blog 😳umm.. how about some Halloween headcanons with agata? Like what he would do, how he feels, his costume, etc. anything else you’d like to add too 🧙‍♀️🦁

All’s well — I’ve been sitting on an ask since Nov 2021 myself haha

Hope you enjoy! Agata’s fun to write for because he's the youngest lion pspsp

— Psychic

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

General Halloween Headcanons

Halloween is one of the bigger holidays in the Beastars world: there's something very captivating about being able to just dress up and pretend you are someone else, if even for a little while.

It isn't uncommon for smaller herbivores to dress up as stronger herbivores, and vice versa.

For carnivorous animals, Halloween is one of the only days where it's acceptable for them to be scary and threatening — claws and fangs are sharpened.

Halloween also serves as a fun way to pick on social norms, and give commentary on pressing social issues: it's not uncommon to see herbivores dressed up as the most recent predation victim as a sort of statement.

In spite of all this, the Black Market doesn't really do Halloween; or at least, the gangs don't. (Not officially, anyway)

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Agata’s Feelings on Halloween

Having been raised outside of the Black Market, Agata had some exposure to Halloween.

When he was younger, his mother liked to dress him up as the ‘threatening lion’ Agata’s father never quite was.

But outside of that, Agata has never participated in any sort of Halloween event, but by God, he wants to change that.

It's just his luck that this year, the Shishigumi isn't as busy around Halloween. It gives him a good excuse to leave the Black Market and explore how people celebrate the holiday.

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Agata’s Exploration [Prose]

Agata wasn't used to riding in the back seat, but Dolph insisted that he did. Something about how the passenger side seatbelt was broken, and how he didn't want to be pulled over for something as stupid as that.

With a low sigh, Agata rest his head against the hard, leather seat. He and Dolph’s eyes met in the rear view window.

“Kid,” Dolph said. “Your stop is coming up soon.”

Agata nodded at that, and Dolph’s eyes drifted back onto the road.

Looking out the car window, he could see that the storefronts were decorated with all sorts of things: paper cut-outs, fake skeletons — one store even had a fake re-enactment of a predation.

It was almost frightening how looser everyone became when Halloween was involved; doing something like that was a major no-no any other time of the year.

Catching his reflection on the window, Agata began to stare at himself. Really stare at himself, and look at everything from his face to his dark mane. Idly pulling at his mouth, he lamented that it was too late to grow out his fangs.

But that was fine — it wasn't like he was going to get a costume or anything. No, he was just going to look around and see what was for sale…

“Uh, Dolph?” Seeing the older lion not stop the car made Agata lurch forward. “You missed my stop.”

Dolph made a low noise of disapproval. “I can't park in the middle of the road, now can I?”

“Park?”

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Agata + Dolph’s Exploration

Dolph really didn't plan on sticking around with Agata.

At most, he planned to give Agata some extra cash (nothing much, just an extra $200 or so — Halloween costumes could be expensive, and what if Agata got hungry along the way?) and then return to the Mansion.

That being said, Dolph is glad he decided to walk the streets with Agata: the younger lion’s curiosity is infectious.

Agata never got the chance to grow up properly, and it's so obvious that Dolph can't help but feel guilty whenever Agata stops walking to stare, or examine or touch a Halloween display.

It's mostly due to Dolph’s insistence and not-so-subtle nudging that Agata considers getting a costume at all.

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Agata’s Costume

Agata wants something simple: so, no fur-dyes, or styrofoam horns, or anything of the sort.

He’s metaphorically dipping his toes in. Even though he wants to have fun this Halloween, he’s still the youngest member of the Shishigumi. And while the other lions probably wouldn't say anything, or even care ... well, what would they think?

Agata’s low self-esteem threatens to get in the way, and while Dolph can't handle the root cause, he can try to make Agata feel a bit more confident in his decision.

Dolph winds up dragging Agata to different stores, and encouraging him to try on simple costumes: the ones that are just outfits with as few accessories as possible.

In the end, both Dolph and Agata wind up paying for mobster costumes. They already dress like they're part of a gang (because they are), and it just feels "right".

(Agata thinks it's hilarious that they went to so many stores, just to wind up dressing up as themselves. Dolph finds it more amusing than hilarious)

⋆﹥━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━﹤⋆

Conclusion

As Agata and Dolph walk back to the car, they receive many compliments on their realistic mobster costumes.

Neither of them were wearing their store-bought costumes yet.

All in all, it's a successful outing. Though it isn't discussed, both Agata and Dolph agree that they'll be doing the same thing again the following year.

Agata believes he’s too old for trick-or-treating, so honestly, maybe he could hit up a club next Halloween? Or go to one of those adult costume parties? Either outing sounds like fun to him.

Still keeping with the same prompt, just with the fandom changing to Mystic Messenger! There’s actually only a few polyships I really enjoy for this fandom and chose randomly from those ones so I hope all my Mystic Messenger fans will enjoy the polyship headcanons for Yoosung/Reader/Saeran!

Who’s the cuddler?

I have always had this strong headcanon that Saeran is a little touch-averse at first. He really wants that physical affection, truly he does. But it makes him uncomfortable and a little scared for quite a long time and it needs to be something that he’s eased into and given space and time to become comfortable with. Yoosung would be the more physically affectionate on initially because he just really loves the little acts of holding hands or cuddling with you. They make him genuinely happy. In the long term, though, after he’s become more okay with it, I feel like Saeran is the more physically affectionate one overall, with long, firm hugs being his thing.

Who makes the bed?

It would have to be you because honestly, both of these boys are kind of slobs in that regards. They just don’t think to make the bed unless they’re told to or someone makes a comment about it. That being said though, Yoosung changes his sheets more than Saeran does.

Who wakes up first?

I honestly feel like it would have to be you or Yoosung but only like 90% of the time. The other 10% it’s Saeran, but only because he just plain out hasn’t slept. I’ve always strongly headcanoned that Saeran has issues with sleep and there are times that he’ll go days without sleeping and then just micro-naps until his body just can’t handle it anymore because both his mind and body are just too exhausted, and he crashes. Yoosung, if given the choice, will prefer to sleep in a bit, especially if he’s spent the night up with you and Saeran or up gaming but he can get up early for school or work.

Who has the weird taste in music?

Saeran’s tastes run weird because they’re really split between what Saeran likes from childhood, what he liked in his Unknown persona, and what he liked as Ray. Ray preferred soft music and instrumentals or classical music from the Romantic period, while Unknown was really into trap and rap music. Saeran though…he remembers the songs Saeyoung sang with him as children and lullabies soothe him still.

Who is more protective?

I feel like Yoosung can get more protective, definitely, and especially so after everything that happens in the game. It can come across at times like he doesn’t trust you or Saeran or doesn’t think you guys will make the right decisions because he’s incredibly poor at finding the words to describe why he worries so much about you and usually ends up putting his foot in his mouth a little. It’s actually what causes most of the larger fights with Yoosung.

Who sings in the shower?

Saeran does it. He hates singing in public because it embarrasses him to have people watch him sing. He’s fine with singing to you over the phone or when your eyes are closed and he thinks you’re sleeping…but the shower is his private spot where no one watches him and, because he genuinely enjoys singing, he lets himself do it in there.

Who cries during movies?

Oh my god but is Yoosung ever a sap when it comes to anything even remotely sad during a movie. He just gets really into his media, and he connects deeply with those fictional characters and when bad things happen to or for them, it can upset him deeply. There were definitely cut scenes even in just his video games that made him tear up.

Who spends the most while out shopping?

Yoosung can live on a pretty reasonable budget but has a tendency to throw money away on games when he has a rough day. Saeran…despite growing up with relatively nothing, really, he never quite learned the value of money or how to budget it or manage it and he’s the worst one for spending without thinking, especially so if he’s using card instead of cash.

Who kisses more roughly?

Saeran’s kisses are hesitant, especially at first, but can become very rough when he gets comfortable or stops feeling embarrassed and just surrenders to the moment.

Who is more dominant?

It would have to be a combination of both you and Saeran. Yoosung is definitely quite submissive. He would honestly be just as happy to turn over every big decision to you and Saeran and have you two make all the decisions. Saeran’s streak of dominance is more out of needing to feel like he’s in control of his life and his decisions after so long of not having any control over those things.

My rating of the ship from 1-10?

Honestly, it’s probably about 6 or 7 out of 10. It’s not an absolute favourite, I have to write about it so much kind of love, but I’m definitely a fan because I think these two balance each other out well and would interact with both each other and with the lovely readers (or myself, if I’m having fun with self-ship fantasies) in such interesting ways.

1, 16, 18 & 29 for Seidou?🙂 I just love my boy Taki so much💕

Another one for Takizawa! Such a silly guy.

1, My first impression of them

I suppose I could do this twice for before the half-ghoul nonsense and after. Before, I believe I’ve talked about how none of the CCG characters really registered in my mind until :re and Takizawa isn’t a profound exception. He was one of my favorites, but it was really a “the best of the worst” situation. The moment that caught my attention most was definitely the “I don’t want to die” scene. He’s just like me (joking, obviously.) But seriously I think that was a turning point for the CCG for me, they were kind of the stock character bad guys who got a couple chapters to be fleshed out, but they were still narrow-minded and somewhat two dimensional, mostly because of their lack of fear. Because when you think about it, every CCG character we focus on before :re is some variety of talented investigator with no need to fear, and no shown instance of it. Amon, Akira, above average. Houji and Shinohara, decently experienced. Juuzou and Arima, prodigies that speak for themselves. In comparison, Takizawa is shockingly human and average when placed next to those exceptions. That desperation he has, the moment where he simply can’t pretend this is just a normal job and that he’s on par with the rest of them hits like a brick. So my first impression was neutral but the first time I noticed him was incredible. For after, in his first appearance in :re, I loved him on the spot. I had actually heard and seen of what would happen to him and had thought "Oh another artificial half-ghoul? Previously from the CCG? With a design like that? He'll probably be a main antagonist or something!" I was wrong, :re has like 5 artificial half ghouls and it's a little ridiculous. But he's still a personal favorite. Freaky raccoon. 16, A childhood headcanon

Rocky was a gift from an uncle who adopted the puppy and quickly realized his apartment wasn’t large enough to house the creature. Seidou’s birthday was coming up quickly, so he got the best present of his entire life. His parent’s weren’t initially enthused about the idea, but Seidou got attached to him so quickly they didn’t want to take the dog away. He’s named after the film. Funnily, his mom was always Rocky’s favorite, with Seidou as a second no matter how much time they spent together.

18, How do you think they were as a kid? (Like, were they shy, noisy, wild, etc) Impressively middle-child like for an eldest sibling. He’d do anything for the compliments of his parents or teachers and was quickly upset when it seemed his sister was getting preferential treatment. He wasn’t unloved or anything, I just imagine from his talks with Akira that he used to be something of a “gifted child”, and once he started curving down into a more average realm he was desperate to still receive that same amount of attention and praise simply on account of being accustomed to it.

29, How do you think they would be as a parent?

Before ghoul-ification? Fine. I Don’t think he’d consider himself ready for parenthood and frankly neither would I but if he somehow got stuck with a child that presumably wasn’t his because you cannot tell me he could ever, out of the options for fathers in tokyo ghoul (none of which are good except for maybe 3) human Takizawa is not the worst. The kid’s going to have a couple issues if he’s doing it alone but if he’s got someone to help him, he could probably raise a decently functioning human being with inferiority issues and fatherly resentment at worst. Congratulations human Takizawa, I grant you the “You do not suck at this as much as you could” reward.

After being turned into a ghoul on the other hand? God help that child. If he manages not to have a mental breakdown from the responsibility and abandon and/or eat the thing I do think he could raise it… kind of, but I do not think he would be good at it unless he had several points of help, and at that point you might as well just give it to them because in contrast to his human self, there are actually few worse options. He’s simply not mentally stable enough to give them consistent love and attention and I highly doubt he knows how to take care of a kid’s physical needs either, or how to keep them out of dangerous situations, so we should all be thankful his biology is so screwed up at this point that, unhelped by plot power like Kaneki, he’ll probably never have a child. Could be interesting as a fic or something but I’d pity the ghoul/half ghoul that comes of it because the issues will be countless if they even manage to live to adulthood. I grant ghoul Takizawa the “You do suck at this as much as you could.” reward, however he’s not the worst of the worst as he would at least try his best if there were no alternatives for this kid. With enough support he could do it but I think he’s best off in the “older brother type” role.

Unpopular opinion: Steve Harrington is so far from being autistic it makes a mockery of the diagnosis. I know there will be screams of outrage from all corners of tumblr, but I’ve worked with autistic folks all across the spectrum. It was my full-time job for years. So yeah, I have expertise in the area. But that means nothing on the internet.

The head-canon that Steve is autistic is projection, which is fine. It’s normal. But to pretend it’s real, and get angry if/when an internet diagnosis is challenged is silly.

Sometimes I wonder if some of his so-called fans like him at all, because they project so hard onto him that they erase what makes Steve Steve. I mean, he’s also not trans masc, nor is he a cis man who likes getting feminized, dyes his hair pink, cries all the time and calls his lover daddy. I like d/s stuff sometimes, but the ones that over-babygirl him turn him into an unrecognisable character.

People do what they want, but again, getting offended when their ideas aren’t accepted is silly. Fans and authors this should just admit they’re using Steve as a self insert because they want Eddie Munson to spank them, or they want Steve to have whatever neurodivergence or gender issues they have. I don’t know exactly why they do this to Steve of all the characters, but that’s what it is.

hmmm. i will just say, firstly, that a lot of people that like the headcanon of steve being autistic, are autistic themselves, and just working with autistic people doesn’t mean that you can 1. speak over them, or 2. know every single thing about autism that will ever exist. they see traits they have in steve, and are excited to see them, or to be able to relate to a character. that’s not a bad thing.

i haven’t seen anyone get angry over people denying this headcanon, maybe you have! but if you’re approaching them and speaking to them the way you worded this ask, i wouldn’t be surprised if they got a little defensive.

i do agree that some people go over the top with the feminised stuff, and it is something that i complain at length about, but what’s wrong with trans masc steve? they’re still writing steve as a masculine character, he’s just also trans? i can understand being thrown by the bdsm stuff, but like… why is trans masc steve a totally different character?

i post quite a bit about not liking specific ways people characterise steve, and i’ve not had anyone really get offended, or rage out at me, so maybe it’s just the corner of tumblr you’re on. because yeah, people totally project onto steve (and every other character lol) and it can be irritating.

but honestly, you kinda just sound like you hate headcanons. don’t get me wrong, there are some i do Not like. but trans masc steve, and autistic steve are pretty tame. what’s the big issue there?

like, i don’t like feminised steve because i think it contributes to the sexualisation of gay men, and the trend in which people assign one man and one women to gay couples. but you seem to not like these headcanons because… people like to explore their mental illnesses and gender exploration with their favourite character? idk.

(also, i really don’t think not seeing steve as autistic is an unpopular opinion, most people don’t)

I’m still obsessed with 5SOS5, so I want to focus on Bad Omens for the Marauders’ era. It can even apply to platonic relationships, like Lily and Snape because we canonically know that Snape was hurling slurs at other Muggleborns and Lily was justifying her friendship with him to towers (“It’s too late. I’ve made excuses for you for years. None of my friends can understand why I even talk to you. You and your precious little Death Eater friends—you see, you don’t even deny it! You don’t even deny that’s what you’re all aiming to be! You can’t wait to join You-Know-Who, can you?”), so Lily ignored the signs of what her best friend had become until she no longer could (“Can't help the way I keep ignoring every omen / Every omen / Heaven knows I should let go / It's nothing that I don't already know”), that song is ridiculously fitting for the backdrop of the war and how it’s tearing apart every relationship (romantic relationships [like Jegulus if that’s your ship, Wolfstar where Remus and Sirius canonically distrusted each other, but probably tried to ignore the signs until they had to acknowledge “there’s a spy, and I think it’s the man sleeping beside me right now”], platonic relationships [Peter and the Marauders where none of them realized his betrayal until far too later, Lily and Snape], familial relationships [Sirius with his family depending on how one views his relationship with them in the years before he left.]) People who tried to keep their relationships, hoping that eventually they’d go back to the way things were if they just ignored the warning signs, but eventually they were no longer able to pretend and had to acknowledge that this was irreparable.

Also, unrequited love (“I cried in your dark brown eyes for the thousandth time / 'Cause you love somebody / I died when you left that night for the thousandth time / 'Cause you love somebody else”) fits great, so Snape/Lily from Snape’s perspective in Seventh year, where he utterly destroyed his friendship with her but still is in love with her, and then watched her fall in love with James. Unrequited relationship set during the first war are honestly perfect for this song, because it’s got the distrust element and the “watching the person you love be in love with someone else” aspect; 5SOS decided the First Wizarding War was the theme of their 5th album (note, this is a joke, they have not made any comments regarding Harry Potter, the album just has great vibes for it)

It's fine, I'm not hyperventilating or anything.

Look, I've actually listened to this album (at least the songs i like from it) a lot since it was brought to my attention after its release. And as I've said before, I've never been a follower of 5SOS. I think before someone actively began passing me their songs, I'd listened to one by choice and knew it was them, and that was only because I came across it on the radio one day.

But it's like they really did craft the perfect album here for the First War years within HP, and I love that so much. I could rant on and on about several of these songs in relation to headcanons for that era/ships/characters, but Bad Omens is a BIG ONE. It's actually become one of my favorites, right up there with Caramel. And then I was guided to the music video, which was admittedly a trip, but it was also so very perfect.

I think in my initial review, I compared it to Wolfstar (also Jegulus), but I think I remember saying it gave me strong First War vibes in general, and it definitely does that. It can honestly apply to every relationship during that time period, whether platonic or romantic, no matter what side of the war someone fell on.

I love your comparison to Lily's and Snape's friendship and how it fell apart. I have...some issues with Snape that I try not to vocalize to often in a serious way, mostly sticking to joking headcanons that don't amount to much, the him watching Lily slip away from him and fall in with James, fall in love with him as he stood back and was forced to watch must have hurt so badly. I think Snape was too obsessive to a degree that any relationship between him and Lily couldn't have been sustained for long, regardless of his meddling with the Dark Arts and who Lily considered to be bad people, but the song fits so well because of that and everything else.

The whole Peter betrayal thing as well. None of them saw it, not a one. Peter was that good. He blended into his surroundings that well and was so easily overlooked that no one had the slightest idea of what he was truly doing. But you can't tell me that somewhere in him there wasn't guilt. There are numerous substantial reasons to dislike JKR, but the fact that she never once even tried to explain why Peter did what he did will forever be one of mine. Those were his best friends all through school and beyond. No, we don't know what happened, how they treated him, and maybe it's a fandom thing (though i don't think it completely is) but I've always thought James cared a lot about Pete. I think he kept Peter close because he liked him. They must have liked him, otherwise why stay his friend? Why trust him enough to give him the responsibility of keeping your family safe?

Say what you will, but they loved Peter, and he must have loved them at some point. It makes no sense why Peter would have betrayed James of all people. Sirius, maybe. That actually lines up because I think Sirius was cruel to Peter when he wanted to be, had little patience for him overall, so him framing Sirius is sort of like his just desserts. He didn't do anything to Remus that we know of, and I think that's because Peter likely always idolized Remus just as much as he did James and Sirius, but Remus was always far kinder to him in the grand scope of things. So something must have happened at some point to make Peter think that betraying James and essentially being the cause of his death was warranted. Was it because he drifted away, focused on the war and his family more than his friends? I don't know, but I'd like to, because there are gaps there.

(sorry. that was a tangent i didn't initially intend. oops)

Back on the main point, Peter must have had some sort of guilt for what he was doing and what he did. You can't be that cruel after spending half your life with people you claim to like/love and then blow everything up with one action and decision. So relating this song back to him and the way everyone circled around him and never focused in on his true nature is so very fitting.

I could write an entire ten page essay on this song in relation to Wolfstar. I've been thinking about it a lot and trying desperately not to do so, because I know the more I do, I'll want to write a fic about it. And that's the very definition of been there, done that repeatedly, not just myself, but the Wolfstar fandom as a whole. The entire Remus/Sirius distrust, slipping away from one another but still clinging on out of desperation has been done so many times and I'm trying incredibly hard not to add more to it unless it just won't leave me alone.

What I really want to talk about with this song is Jegulus. And I'm no expert. I'm only just pushing my toes into the water with it, trying to acclimate myself with the whole thing because I actually really like it in a way I thought I wouldn't we I jumped back into fandom and found it to be this large, growing thing that I'd never even seen mention of back in the day when I was writing before. It was a bit baffling, but...I dunno. I'm coming around to it more and more. But my point is don't judge anything I say to harshly because I'm only going off of the small amount of things I've seen/read.

But just think about their relationship in relation to how we know canon goes. James gets tired of chasing after Lily, falls in with Regulus somehow at some point, possibly before he gives up the ghost. Maybe it's Reg that makes him see reason and that James is being a knob, I don't know. They gravitate to one another, fall in love, but it's never the most stable of relationships because it can't be. Regulus is still a Black, James is exactly who he is in every way, that golden boy, head in the sun, pure to his core no matter what you want to say about him bullying (which has two completely different sides, but that's not the topic at hand here). Regulus is a Slytherin, James a Gryffindor. Tensions are mounting higher because of the growing war. They're constantly being tugged apart, in different directions, but they try so hard.

They ignore the signs when they can, they focus on one another as much as possible, but it's never enough to avoid the outside world circling around them like vultures. Regulus takes the mark and James can't sit by and watch his life go up in flames because of his decision, so he finally says enough and pulls back. He dives into his Head Boy duties headfirst, sways Lily to him in the process, but maybe him and Regulus continue to drift to one another because they can't help themselves and James still holds onto the hope that he can convince Regulus to turn his back on his choices. It doesn't work. James finally says enough, sets off into a life with Lily instead, fully committed, and Regulus can't tell him why he has to stay where he is, why it's so important, but he goes after the locket for James, to try and make it easier to put an end to the war. And we all know how that ended.

Shulk

better him than the guy in my url! anyways. the most personally relatable xenoblade protagonist because i too am a nerd and fucking lame (affectionate)

spoilers for xenoblade 1 under the cut!

First Impression: i didn’t know about xenoblade until smash bros happened. so anyways, here’s me watching his trailer, and i go, wow, this guy is cute. this is what i like to call foreshadowing. then, i eventually started to play the n3ds version, and i go, “wow, he’s just like me fr”

Impression Now: wow he’s so much like me that i almost want to pass away from embarrassment about it sometimes. he’s a genuinely enjoyable character but xenoblade 1 typically has better characters to offer. also if you get too used to him wearing glasses you can’t ever unsee his face feeling weirdly empty without them

Favorite Moment: him choosing to spare egil, which kind of goes hand in hand with me not necessarily having an issue with him sparing mumkhar even if it’s a terrible decision, for... reasons. but on the subject of him sparing egil, i’m obsessed with this particular bit of dialogue;

“I can't kill you, but I can stop your blade. And I'll do it. Over and over again, until... we understand each other. OK?“

Idea For A Story: mythra and him finally getting to Monado Talk. it’s actually something i’ve had many ideas for. i need to write it. lol

Unpopular Opinion: i legitimately think he’d give zanza a second chance if given the opportunity, but be healthily wary about the whole thing for obvious reasons. considering he chose to spare mumkhar of all people, and his reaction to alvis repeating what zanza himself had already said, though... i think the seed is planted and very much there. anyways i’m team “shulk forces zanza on a redemption arc himself” if it were somehow possible. it’s like, he wouldn’t forgive zanza right off the bat of course, but he’d help the man try to atone if he really wanted to; a lot of his dialogue in 2, the fact he even outright references the events of prison island in 2, and doesn’t speak of zanza maliciously in future connected makes me even more firmly convinced about this

i also think he needed more development just like the rest of the party did, but he’s less of a victim of it than the rest of them are. i’d argue fiora needs the help even more (same with meyneth)

Favorite Relationship: his relationship with his whole party means the world to me and i also find myself leaning toward his relationship with dickson, too, due to it being weirdly relatable (outside of the whole “getting shot because you’re the vessel of a deity” thing.)

Favorite Headcanon: he needs glasses to see, he’s trans, and he’s autistic. in fact, he’s so autistic you don’t know what to do with him (in reference to this post)

also that he actually has a sense of taste and is able to taste things just fine, he’s just such a picky eater that it goes hand in hand with the au of tism, and that his liking of veggies in 2 is him being too polite to say no still. if anything, i like to think the whole zanza thing diluted his tastebuds a little and he just never noticed it

#inbox games #this is not nearly as wordy as i want it to be but i'm running low on thoughts and energy due to having a bad week thus far #sorry it's so late also

I’m glad you’re doing good!! Thank you for thinking about me🫶

There were many things I didn’t like in ACOSF, I didn’t like some things cassian did, they were uncalled for and he was far from the character I got to know in the first trilogy, I still liked him of course, but I started liking azriel equally

As for KOTC, I liked Emilia up until half the book, but then she was… idk her inner monologues were a bit cringy at times. But wrath… wrath and pride are my favorite brothers atm,

Spoilers for those who have not read KOTC yet

I’m glad she accepted to marry him, HONESTLY I would have caved way earlier than she did

Also I did not expect him to be the devil, but I had the suspicion in KOTW when his tattoo was the snake, I remember thinking why give him the snake if he’s not the devil

I did not expect vittoria to be alive like… what is she that she has wrath unable to talk about it to Emilia? Like what is the curse

Is there bonus content? Because I’ve seen someone talking about how wrath has to always find new reincarnations of emilia and is cursed to fall in love with her and then lose her and then find her again and so on, like it was canon, and it would make sense but I’m unsure whether it is actually canon from the bonus chapters or it’s headcanons and theories

- stellestreghe

Yeah, I love Cassian. He's my fave bat boy, but when it came to acosf he seemed kinda off. I like to think he was in a mindset of desperately wanting to help Nesta. No matter what it meant, she was in a bad place and he'd do anything that he thought would work. You know like a tough love kinda deal. But the exchange with Mor in the beginning I didn't like. There wasn't really any development in Cassian. He was basically a supportive horny bat boy with allergies and that was it. It was a little disheartening because we all know there are so many layers to him and he loves fiercely and wears his heart on his sleeve. I wanted him to defend Nesta more in front of the IC. Like when Rhys says, "Get her out of this city before I kill her." and Cassian is pissed with Nesta. Are you serious right now? Rhys was in the wrong. DEFEND YOUR MATE. But we did get that beautiful scene of them by the lake so I guess it worked out.

Azriel.....I don't like him lmao. I was never on the Az hype train, to begin with. As much as I appreciate a few moments of him in the books and his bond with Nesta. I think he's selfish and obsessive and I just don't care for him. His bonus pov which I have linked below further proves why I just don't like him. Honestly, if he didn't show up again I wouldn't be upset about it.

It's so funny you say that about Pride cause yeah. He's such a cunning asshole but I dig it. He's a fun one. Wrath of course has my heart I love that demon. Me too, Emilia babes he literally killed a man for disrespecting you, treats you like a Queen, loves your cooking, and is fine af what exactly is there to debate? MARRY HIM.

I do see your point on Emilia btw. I think that's an issue with a lot of books the internal dialogue of the whole push and pull. It's great here and there but sometimes and in this case, it was a lot and tiring and at one point you're like omg just pick. Then the whole ordeal of stealing from Pride, being cursed and not telling Wrath who could probably have helped and you would've gotten your powers back. She's a mess sometimes. I love her but yeah

I too had suspicions he was the devil since kotw. There were so many connections and it just made sense. I was more than thrilled to see that as the outcome. It's always a great feeling when your theory is correct.

Vittoria! talk about a plot twist! That shocked me! I gasped when I read that and I can't wait to find out more about her and what her deal is. What was she really doing before her "death"? we all thought she was conspiring with the wicked. Maybe she was? Maybe there's betrayal coming from one of Wrath's brothers. Or maybe she discovered something else and is seeking vengeance. I do know that Wrath is cursed and just can't speak on it. There's a block and he literally can't say. (I believe that's mentioned in the book. I don't remember but I'm doing a reread here soon.)

I love the whole reincarnation aspect! The whole thing on Wrath finding Emilia again and again though, I don't think is confirmed. It's just a theory for now. In the books, you can gather that yeah, they're reincarnated lovers. We know that. but this continuing loop Idk about. From what I gathered reading it, they were starcrossed lovers, it didn't end well obviously and Wrath has been locked away in hell ever since which defeats the whole constantly finding her and falling in love only for it to end again. If Kerri confirmed this it would be news to me. I don't read all the excerpts she posts cause I don't wanna be spoiled.

all the bonus stuff is below for you to enjoy! just click the links and they should work!
