Finally saw the SBS where Oda confirms what jobs the Straw Hats would have if they lived in the real world and I cannot take this seriously. Like is he aware that most of these character's jobs are things people do in the real world?? Archeologist, meteorologist/cartographer, doctor, chef, rock star, these are real jobs. Why wouldn't they have the same jobs?? Truly baffling on every level. I refuse to accept any of these as canon.

Anyway here's my objectively correct take:

Luffy: Urban explorer. He posts stuff online but it's all really sporadic and not polished at all. Despite that he still has a moderate yet dedicated following. Not that he cares about having a following. Has broken so many laws it's ridiculous but always manages to get away. Probably lives out of a van, but despite this he does not have a driver's license. Makes money in underground fighting tournaments, but it's not about the money. Spends his free time hanging out with his friends.

Nami: Meterologist and cartographer, like she has a degree, but her "job" is being a storm chaser who has a massive tiktok + youtube following. Zeus is her assistant. The rest of the Straw Hats feature in her videos or tag along sometimes. Probably also takes sponsorships but she does vet them pretty well, and gives a lot of money to charity. Works with her family on their tangerine farm in her off time.

Zoro: Master swordsman that hangs out at his old sensei's dojo giving weird advice to the noobs, but has a "side gig" as a vigilante bcs he gets into fights with creeps at the bars he hangs out at. Luffy, Nami, and the rest of their friends are often present for these asskicking sessions, though it's mostly Luffy. Sleeps in his free time, usually in the back of or on top of Luffy's van. No one knows where he lives or if he even has an apartment in the first place. Tags along when Luffy goes exploring bcs Luffy has no idea how to be safe and someone has to make sure he doesn't end up dead on the floor of some abandoned building or stranded at the top of a cellphone tower.

Sanji: Owns a food truck ever since Zeff fired him. Probably still parks near the Baratie most days(and gets into shouting matches with Zeff when he notices), but he travels around the city. He wants to open his own restaurant but it's slow going bcs he doesnt make anywhere near as much money as he could since he keeps giving free food to pretty ladies and people who are down on their luck. Still, he always manages to scrape by. Typical yelp review says the atmosphere is shit but the food is phenomenal. Doesn't have a lot of free time but spends what he does with his friends. Terminally bitchless.

Usopp: Mad scientist who spends a third of his time building wild shit in his garage, a third working in his garden, and the rest as a playing competitive Fortnite and Overwatch. Has a small but VERY dedicated twitch following. Also he def posts bs on reddit and no one can tell if he's lying or not bcs he really is just that out there.

Chopper: Med student. Doesn't get taken as seriously as he deserves but his teachers love him. He also spends a large portion of his time patching up his friends. And he's a furry. Also I could see him having a small blog where he reviews theme parks. Spends the rest of his time hanging out with his friends.

Robin: Professional archeologist and historian. Could be tenured but she's too much of a wild card for that. Def has a criminal past but doesn't talk about it that often. Absolutely can kill a person in like 10 different ways. No one has any idea why she hangs out with a bunch of weirdos but she seems happy so w/e. Follows SO many pet blogs and tags along with Chopper when he hits the parks. Also does yoga.

Franky: Automotive mechanic who specializes in absolutely absurd modifications. Like flamethrowers and shit. Probably wants to build some sort of car mecha but no one can tell if he's serious or not. Has been banned from most places of buisness bcs he refuses to wear pants. Can be found hanging around Sanji's food truck or with Luffy and his van, constantly begs them to let him do wild shit to both. Sanji says no. Luffy says yes.

Brooke: Lead of a popular local band. They sell out concerts and he has a respectable YouTube channel where he posts covers and original stuff(though he's old and the others have to help him with computer stuff). Is hardly ever seen without his massive dog Laboon, who also is the band's mascot.

Jimbe: Bro he's retired(used to be a union leader and an activist) and spends most of his time ferrying Luffy around in his van. Also helps Nami out and has def saved her life a few times. Her audience adores him, which he gets a kick out of, but he doesn't have any social media of his own. A bit of an adrenaline junkie but it comes and goes. Surfs and does martial arts in his free time, but his priority is to enjoy life and have fun with his friends.

Disagree if you want but you AND Oda can meet me on the pit about it <3

#long post #one piece #op #edit: okay I understand that these were alternate jobs now #but also I can't accept Zoro as a police officer he would never

Bells Hells playing stardew valley

Orym - chooses forest farm, makes the cutest little garden in the shape of 2 moons. Best friends with leah because shes a character that just makes sense to him, and romances elliott because dramatic dudes with lucsious hair seem to be his type ;) he also loves the junimos

Laudna - Laudna plays co-op with imogen, and they have a really cottagecore farm. Its a wilderness farm though, and laudna will not let imogen fight any of monsters because the add to the atmosphere. Her favourite festival is the flower dance, and she loves the tailoring aspect of the game

Imogen - shes a farm girl what can i say. While laudna works on the crops, imogen will gather resources to build barns and coops and look after every animal she can afford (they all have names) she downloads a mod to make the horse look like the one she used to own

Ashton - Ashton loves the mines. Once they unlock skull cavern, he will deep dive as far as he can go and use as many bombs as possible. He doesnt usually make friends with people but eventually when fcg convinces them to he cries over shanes story just a bit.

Fearne - Fearne has a very pretty flower farm, and is invested in what is happening with marnie and lewis. Once she gets the pants she will find as many uses for them as she possibly can. Her favourite festival is the egg hunt.

Chetney - Like fearne, he is very interested in marnie amd lewis' relationship, and will try to romance marnie because he can. When he finds out he cant actually build buildings by himself he tries to steal robins job, or try to marry robin. All the bachelors and bachelorettes are too young for him.

FCG - FCG loves to make friends with people, and will memorise each persons loved gift and talk to as many people as they can every day. They try to give therapy to shane but are happy that he still gets help. He decides to move in with krobus because they have a smiley face when you hug them. Because of his attwntion to friendships, his farm mostly consists of just things needed to build relationships.

Dorian - Dorian is a pretty well rounded player, with a nice farm hes spent way to much time on. He always grows blue jazz in spring, and can never decide who to romance, (he suffered rejection from hayley at the flower dance) so he invites orym to his farm and immediately proposes, and explains this with "i need the stardrop so uhhh" orym accepts. Dorian loves the music in the game and often restarts the day just so he can rewatch the dance of the moonlight jellies.

First time doing headcanons and stuff, i saw a post with orym playing stardew in it and got inspired, ill try to find the og post if i can. Sorry for any spelling mistakes, currently very tired. Let me know if you want more of this! :D

#bells hells #orym #orym of the air ashari #dorym #laudna #imogen temult #imodna #ashton greymoore #fearne calloway #chetney pock o'pea #fcg #dorian storm #critical role #headcanons #stardew valley #sdv #cr3

FlameHairSavior: People are people, Alva. Good and bad.

DIVINER: I don't think the Overseer is going to see it quite that way.

FlameHairSavior: He's pragmatic. He'll understand.

DIVINER: But will he share the data with the homeland? Will I get credit, or just be buried somewhere no one will ever care about?

DIVINER: Sorry!! Metaphorically buried!

BoyNextDoor: Ah.

HIMBO: IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU SPIN IT.

how would you improve each datable NPC in Stardew Valley?

i was bewildered for a moment before i remembered i was talking shit about them on this blog previously haha! let me see. i think most of them i have issues with just act 10 years younger than they are- so there are a few ways this can be changed?

also keep in mind i adore stardew and really do like these characters even just as they are, im just a hater lol

judging hard-

Alex

i honestly think this guy could be GREATLY improved if he were actively taking care of his grandparents. maybe we see him out walking with them, on the roof doing repairs before a rainy day, running errands for them or cooking for them, etc. boy spends half his time staring at his dog in a household of two elderly disabled folks who could use him. even a teenager could take notice and offer to help.

Abigail

shes one of the most childish unfortunately lmao. i think one of the most glaring is she goes extremely hard in an easter egg hunt against two preschoolers- maybe if she instead tried to help one of them win but got a little competitive about it, thatd be cute? idk. additionally she could work part time at the store, or at the guild, or clint's, it'd fit her character.

Sam

i get the player interactivity elements but what kind of goober goes through all the work to put a band together but doesnt know what genre they wanna play, unless theyre just a teen interested in the aesthetic of a band. it comes across sorta inauthentic. boy rolls his eyes and grumbles when his mom asks him to help clean a fish, too. cmon man, youre grown.

Sebastian

both sam and seb suffer from the same 'gawwd stay out of my room MOOOM' sort of vibes- maybe if they had an apartment together but still regularly visited their parents for dinner theyd come across as a little more grown (not to say that like, living with parents is inherently childish but how they interact with their folks comes across that way). he also really shouldn't be taking his angst out on his opinion of his half sister, and maybe if he had a little more of a solid adult go-plan than 'im gonna run away to the city' hed seem more mature.

could b better-

Shane

i dont want to be harsh on this guy but he sort of backslides after marriage hardcore. depression isnt a singular uphill climb but at least he could show hes still working on it- the occasional mention of a talk with a therapist, or cleaning up a little after himself, etc. maybe trying to eat a little better when living on a farm lol.

Penny

shes fine, other than the scene w/ george: pushing his wheelchair without asking and then HE apologizes/the scene fames this action as a good thing and you lose points with her if you point out it's rude. sometimes in trying to help people, you dont always do the right thing for them - that would be a little more nuanced for her.

im just picky-

Elliott + Harvey

theyre fine? maybe itd be fun if elliott went on some book tours or somesuch in the winter regularly after marriage, and harvey joined a plane hobbyist group or smth. they have a lot of personality but an issue a lot of these characters have is they just sort of putter out after marriage

Leah + Haley

this game has a lot of redheads lol. leah is fine though, and haley is cute. like other npcs id just want them to find their own independent success with their artistic skills- maybe letters come in the mail occasionally to them congratulating them on photos/sculptures making it into magazines, etc, to show they still have their own things going on

Emily + Maru

they're fine, i just like older/fanmade versions of their sprites more lol

#long post #ramble ramble #thank you for asking!!!#pls do not take my opinions seriously

i’ve decided to post what i had from that traitor phil au i was working on back in april as a oneshot, so here’s the full fic outline so i can link it at the end

tl;dr the full plot would have been that phil would start out intending to betray techno and actually turn him into the butcher army, but after the execution realize he really cares about techno and decide to swap sides, choosing to be the friend techno believed him to be all along

phil arriving in lmanberg and killing wilbur, seeing technoblade, speaking to new lmanberg about what happened

no one really seems to know exactly what caused wil’s downward spiral, and those that saw it firsthand either dont want to talk about it or aren’t there. eventually phil talks to quackity and quackity tells him that wil’s spiral started about when techno showed up, and if they can bring techno down, they can avenge wilbur

phil going after techno in the arctic, finding him building his house. gets roped into helping him (maybe explain here why phil is acting as he is), get to know techno

see him shapeshift into human form once the house is done and realize he’s wilbur’s age

helping build the bee farm

going to the village and seeing techno would rather trade w the villagers than act out the senselessly violent character they told him about

probably mentions that carl is his most important horse

gives phil the compass at the end of their first real meeting so phil can come back, inscribed with “Techno’s Compass” on the back, so phil starts calling him “techno”

several meetings, techno trusts phil w information such as

only has one life

hears voices and is trying to be less violent (hence throwing his all into his friendship w phil)

had something short written for this area

“Y’know, if you let the snow pile up a bit more, mobs’d stop spawning,” Phil says, though he doesn’t process the words until they’re already out of his mouth. He only just stops himself from straight-up slamming his hand over his mouth, though after a moment, he realizes he doesn’t regret the tip as much as he thought he might.

Technoblade, for his part, only nods.

“How deep?” Technoblade asks.

“About, uh,” Phil says, and for a second, he considers lying. He could tell Technoblade something too short, allowing mobs to spawn when his guard is lowered. He could also say too high, letting Technoblade risk freezing.

He balks at both ideas. Technoblade isn’t stupid enough to fall for either, for one, and besides, the idea of Technoblade suffering either fate feels… wrong, somehow. Something in Phil’s gut turns as he imagines the man collapsing in the snow, just feet from his own home, felled by some creeper he hadn’t thought there’d be any risk of spawning. Worse, Phil finds he hates the idea of coming to visit, only to find Technoblade’s frozen corpse half buried in the snow.

Phil’d… like to see it himself, he decides. A death message in chat just doesn’t have the same flair as hands-on revenge, even if he caused it.

“Another layer should do the trick,” Phil says, “Just don’t pile it too high. Don’t want to freeze.”

phil shares w nlm that techno only has one life. he also shares that techno is trying to live as a pacifist. he tries to argue that he believes techno may well have changed, and he’d like to get more information, but is ignored. he doesnt share about the voices

techno gives phil the friendship emerald once a stable trade is built up. emeralds mean loyalty, they cant be used for weapons or tools. they’re only used in totems. emeralds symbolize truth, which isn’t something that is lost on phil

phil’s very aware of the emerald in his ear when he hands over Techno’s compass to the Butcher Army

he tips dream off about the upcoming execution

he helps build the stand—he stalls so that dream has time to help and makes the would-be manner of death quick and painless when asked to finish

he sends a crow off to warn techno the day of

he tells himself that with tubbo and ranboo there that techno will be able to talk to them and prove he’s changed, that techno will be able to fight them off, that it’ll all be fine

all the way up until the butcher army comes back and they have techno

resignation, steely determination, and then he looks up and sees phil and its open and honest fear. For Phil’s Sake. and lmanberg decides to try to kick techno while hes down by telling techno that phil betrayed him

i also have a bit for this

Phil hears the crowd before he sees them. Quackity, Tubbo, Fundy—he recognizes their voices easily, shouting at the top of their lungs as they come up the street. That doesn’t surprise Phil, as they’ve never been quiet.

What worries him is that they’re cheering.

A group returning from getting their asses handed to them by the Blood God wouldn’t return home cheering.

Phil steps out onto his balcony, his heart in his stomach, and that is his first mistake.

Technoblade is in chains. His head hangs low, long hair half out of the same lazy bun he’s been wearing it in for weeks, strung around his face in a curtain that cannot hide the resignation set in his jaw. He’s unarmed and without armor, dressed down to the casualwear Phil has gotten so used to seeing him in. It’s damp with sweat, though at the least, he doesn’t seem injured.

Phil’s second mistake is speaking, an almost involuntary expression of shock.

“You actually got him,” Phil says, and Technoblade’s head snaps up.

Phil braces for rage. He braces for hatred, for the well-earned vitriol of a man betrayed. He braces for the fire that has razed nations to the ground, that has reveled in bridges aflame and smoking. He expects Techno to despise him.

What he sees is fear. Techno is terrified, but not for himself—he’s scared for Phil, of all people, even with the end of his life looming black against the night sky just a few steps away.

“Phil!” Techno calls, and he yanks on the chain, dragging Ranboo a few paces with it, “What’d they do to you?”

It burns so much worse.

techno goes Hard Into Denial. shouts that theyre all lying and they must have tortured phil or theyre trying to hurt techno more in his last moments and declares he doesnt believe them and tells phil he knows better

This Is All Very Bad For Phil’s Conscience

phil doesnt know about the totem--even when punz hops in he has no idea, when the lever is pulled, that they’ll be able to do anything. he thinks hes going to watch techno die, and have the last thing techno says about him is ‘i believe in you wholeheartedly’ even though phil’s hand may as well have been on the lever

techno escapes and runs away without looking back and phil decides, if it isn’t too late, that he wants to be the person techno believes he is

its also how phil sees tubbo being truly corrupted by power (esp considering tubbo shot him) and knows hes like. this is what happened to wilbur. this is what this place does to people

techno comes back for phil a few days later. nothing to find him by except gentle tapping at phil’s door and the tell-tale heat-haze shimmer of invis. no armor, unarmed, in the middle of enemy territory. its a show of trust and a blatant test. “Are you with me?”

techno’s very much looking for proof on either side. did phil betray him? is phil actually his friend? this is the big moment of truth for him. but phil’s still wearing the emerald, and he takes the hand techno offers, and against all good sense techno chooses to trust him

techno asks a little about it and phil tells him they used wilbur’s memory to make him. techno doesnt ask anything else

techno’s sort of. hes aware something is sus w phil. but he has to believe that phil is his friend, since he has no others and he really likes phil, so hes believing phil isn’t a traitor. not... a particularly healthy mindset tbh

tommy stuff, rebuilding the techno and phil friendship as techno prepares to attack lmanberg

being able to actually talk to tommy and ask tommy about what happened to wilbur helps settle that part of phil that’s been wondering all this time

techno comes home after the green festival alone and tells phil that tommy betrayed him. this is another test, just slightly. as he tells phil there’s this slight edge of “but you wouldn’t do this to me, right? you’re not going to betray me, right?” and phil is able to like. as he comforts techno abt the betrayal hes able to assure techno who he chose. esp when the idea of destroying lmanberg comes up and phil is right behind him

doomsday is a way for phil to declare, officially, where his loyalties lie, to completely get rid of the place that wanted to make him technoblade's enemy, to get rid of the place that drove wilbur over the edge. and techno sees phil's insistence with helping him at doomsday and hes like. ‘i never should have doubted phil, hes always been on my side’

after doomsday phil considers not telling techno. he Does Not want to talk about this sort of thing w techno but also he thinks he needs to, bc techno doesnt rlly freely share emotional needs anymore like he used to, techno cant seem to let himself start trusting ranboo, and phil cant make himself build a house on techno’s property because he feels too guilty

techno approaches phil about the syndicate and phil comes clean. he cant in good conscience join this organization w techno as techno’s most trusted right hand if he doesnt

its like. its earth-shattering for techno, but at the same time, techno knew all along

techno comes away with the idea that phil may have started w lmanberg, but phil chose techno, something no one else has done

16, 10 and 3 for Caineeeee and Cecilia plz

evening!! hello there crab controlled cat

16. What makes their stomach turn?

Caine- hmmm. this isnt something thats really happened before,,,, but i think its pretty similar with what i mentioned here, they got a spidey sense if the signal for the spidey sense was an extremely panicky feeling in their gut. i havent really thought of what would disgust them or even cross their morality enough to react that way. new thing to think about! the image of caine sneering at somebody/thing is a very fun thought.

Cecilia- like caine, shes also rather resilient, so its hard to find a situation where her stomach would turn. on top of that, she finds intrigue in the things most people find disgusting (blood and viscera for once thing), so almost nobodys seen her actually in that state. themmy has though! it was during a prank when she swapped out cecis chocolate chip cookies for raisins, she spat the whole thing out. ceci didnt talk to her for a week after that. shes never going to forget the moment she realized she was back at the farm. shes never felt so helpless before. she loses herself in those memories sometimes.

10. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?

Caine- caine doesnt actively tell lies a lot, just omits the truth. the most frequent one for him would probably be being a regene. even with being a villain or pupeteering hark, its not an actual lie they say out loud. however, its a bit unavoidable for being a regene lol. they have no regrets, its a matter of his safety and it could actively put their own plans in jeopardy, so they see no problem with it.

Cecilia- cecilia? cecilia doesnt lie! shes a very honest step thats super blunt about everything! you can trust her to always tell you what shes thinking! except for every principle shes built on. who she is as a person. hell, if she even is a person in the first place. but thats ok, thats not lying, thats just being stupid, a little silly if you will. the thought doesnt count as haunting her if she doesnt confront it!

3. How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?)

Caine- does working count. they dont have a solid sense of time, and he often loses himself in the process whenever he makes something, so a solid 60-65% of the time theyll end up falling asleep at their desk. if he remembers to go to sleep, hell either end up escaping to hark, or if they need a clear head, just thinking. theyve got a rather active imagination so you could imagine it as someone getting a story to sleep. sometimes theyll get some white noise to accompany it.

Cecilia- sketching! she keeps a notebook by her bedside table to draw things that happened during the day. the subject varies depending on her fancy, but either way, its a good way to help her get her thoughts out. sorta like journaling, but with the added benefit of being able to put down what shes feeling even if she cant place it (plus nobody could interpret what she puts in there even if somebody finds it, which is pretty sweet)

questions from here!

#new party game just dropped #how many seconds can you hold the 'ee' in 'cain-ee'#25 seconds for me #“evening” i say #as i write these tags at 2pm the next day #good afternoon i guess lmfao. though youll probably see this during the morning so gm!#caine lynzal #cecilia rider #sidestep #fhr #pulp answers #ask game

Mimic AU?

send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it ///not accepting

this ask game was almost a month ago now kjsdhkjf but in my defense.......yeah

1. mimics have a parasitic child rearing. similar to parasite birds like the cuckoo bird. they care for the baby until it can walk and starts developing its abilities and then dump it on a hybrid family. the baby will then mimic that hybrid families traits for it’s entire upbringing until they are old enough to fend for themselves. this is usually in the late teen years as mimics are naturally a very independent species. quackity was taken in by an avian family and thus: the name “quackity”

2. mimics can control what traits they mimic but they need to be somewhat close to the hybrid they’re mimicking to use the ability. the farther the distance, the more difficult it is and the more they have to concentrate to keep the features (unless they are using their fear defense mechanism. that can extend for as long as they feel threatened)

3. speaking of that, their fear response can be painful because it is involuntary. and more often than not, seeing a same-species hybrid in pain can trigger the hostile parties instincts to protect, adding another layer of defense and self preservation for the mimic

4. when quackity fled manburg and joined pogtopia, he had ram horns for a good long while. his trauma from his relationship with schlatt got mixed up in his stress of technoblade hovering over him and his body didn’t know which way was up. it’s only when techno cornered him and quackity had a panic attack that techno learned mimics don’t actually need to be afraid to mimic features...quackity can do it on command

5. for the last one ill talk a little bit about techno. so like it’s stated in the end notes of the fic, technoblade has never met another piglin hybrid. in fact, he’s kind of leaned into the mystery of his hybrid origins. a pig hybrid that loves to battle? a farm hybrid that loves bloodshed? that doesnt make any sense! (and it also gives him the excuse to indulge in the softer sides of things. pets and farming potatoes and just enjoying the slow side of life. no one would think twice about a pig hybrid farming of course!) but that doesn’t really stop his own curiosity about his hybrid traits. he knows he has instincts that differ from a pig hybrid. he learned that pretty early on. but theres a difference between knowing youre missing out on something, but having no real context on what that thing is, verses finally experiencing it and having it ripped away again. techno has tried to live with piglins. not...permanently. but just to understand his own heritage. it didnt really work out, though he keeps in touch with that bastion. there was just a culture shock he couldnt shake. techno is not from the nether, but neither is he from the overworld. its a difficult life, living with one foot in both worlds and no place to settle but he never really let it bother him until he met quackity. until a game of chase and torment somehow twisted into the first taste of what exactly he’s been deprived of all his life pack. sounder. family. belonging.

1, 7, 8, 37, C, D?

1: What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? Ward can sit still for like.. five or ten minutes unless he's super focused on his work, and half the time he works standing anyway (in which case thats.. not nothing to do so Cooper can sit still for a decent while! He used to pride himself on sitting so quietly people forgot he was there when they were younger and he's not very successful in breaking that habit. probably around the 20-30 minute mark Rory can definitely sit still for a long time, and usually cherishes the chance to because he's so busy on the farm. WILL probably fall asleep though! Sometimes just zones out, especially after a long day or if hanging out with farm babies

7: What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling? Ward: listening to rain on umbrellas and weather reports specifically for his hometown! Also, kids science cartoons. Yeah, he likes the feeling of nostalgia, though mostly when he's not regressed (when he's little, he's too active to sit and appreciate nostalgia lol) Cooper: Books about ducklings + rubber duckies, gumballs (esp the like 25 cent ones), and sleeping bags! They don't dislike the feeling of nostalgia, but they can only take so much before it starts bringing him down Rory: Juice boxes! Fruit salad skewers, and blowing on dandelions. Not too bothered either way about nostalgia, honestly

8: What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child Ward: START READING. if it wasnt a science related book, ward could not care less about it. genuinely, English classes were a misery for all parties involved! Stop going outside without a raincoat, and dang it, stop going outside in the middle of huge storms! Cooper: Would get told he needed to start speaking up for himself if he wanted things, and then would get told to stop being so demanding :/ "You need to start letting your siblings play with you!" "If you dont want them to touch your things, you need to stop leaving them out" <- older sibling never wins moments Rory: Please stop falling asleep in the sheep pen, we cannot find you. PLEASE. (POV: you are capri and you cant find your regressor in the sheep herd and the sheep totally know and wont help you)

37: Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)? Ward: Does not even bother, honestly. Basic memorization and simple frequency of usage is enough for him! ( but he's the kind of person to ask why you have color coded folders). Otherwise his work organization is entirely just.. related to the topic lol. Weather science - Non-weather science, but no fancy tricks! Cooper: Is the sort of person to mumble "Righty tighty, left loosey" under their breath! More likely to use anagrams, prefers things reasonably color coded (red engineering/security, blue science/medical, gold command). is the type to get stressed by trying to create ways to remember that are too specific, so they end up getting stress Rory: Color coding, usually! Nothing super complex, he doesnt have a lot he really needs to specifically remember

C) Did you have trouble figuring out where they fit in their own story? <- not at all embarrassed to admit my (agere) ocs are pretty much self indulgent first, story second D) Have they always had the same physical appearance, or have you had to edit how they look? Definitely edited for rory! At first he was more human and like. with horns and non-human ears and then i went "hmmm. you know what? lets have more fun with that" (also lowkey embarrassing bc i used to specifically try and like.. idk simplify? baby-fy? whatever my art style instead of just like. drawing like usual lol

#ward's personality is weather first me second #cooper has older (but not oldest) sibling in a large family syndrome so nostalgia is. conflicting for them #rory is a mc oc so its like my brain is like wym childhood. these things spawn as adults right #RIGHT?#character: ward #character: cooper #character: rory #hiii friend :D

Mayhaps I can request some modern Combeferre/Bahorel hcs please for the soul?

oh this is absolutely interesting and i have never considered it before but my one mantra is that anyone and everyone should have a chance to romance/fuck/anything combeferre at LEAST once (and maybe more if you're lucky <3)

this post is long! this is a hugo-sponsored post! expand at your own risk!

-anyway! bahorel and combeferre are two people who somewhat struggled with sexuality growing up, more so than their other queer friends and people they know. it comes down a lot to their fathers- bahorel worked really hard to impress his dad and was terrified that if he was gay, then he'd lose that. combeferre loses his father when he's 12 and sort of takes it upon himself to be the "man of the house" because that's what all of his relatives tell him to do post-funeral, and when he's going through puberty and suddenly realizing he's something that everyone around him says is bad, he feels like he can't succeed and be there for his family. both of them struggle really really hard with this and feel like if they get outed as queer, people will blame their fathers and the heavy female influence in their lifes- bahorel with his 3 older sisters and combeferre with his mom and younger sister.

-so sexuality is something both of them sort of tuck away with a lock and key. they don't mind their queer friends and they don't judge other people for being queer, but when it comes to them? it just isn't allowed. because it's them.

-so that sort of sets the stage for them. they're a pair of unlikely friends. bahorel is begrudgingly in law school because of his scholarships and his family's push for him to do better than their farming business and combeferre's in med school. they're both out of pre-law pre-med and feeling a little tired because most of their friends are out of uni already and they're still there. it's exhausting being them

-and once again, they're unlikely friends. they know each other from meetings, but combeferre sticks with enjolras most days and bahorel sticks with most everyone else. they don't have 1-on-1 time all that often because they rarely interact. however! the crux of the situation! the glue that brings them together! ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ring....... JOLYYYYYYYY!

-joly is a mutual friend of both! he and bahorel are the resident gossipers and joly is a classmate of combeferre's. he knows the best and the worst of either of them and it makes him curious because... the two just aren't friends. they're acquaintances if anything. but joly knows bahorel is both sporadic and soft and emotional at the same time, and he knows combeferre is thoughtful but also really dry and sarcastic when he wants to be and he feels like the two of them could do well together as friends. so he interferes! he makes a little gc with the three asking if they want to come over for like a wine and cheese night because the term just ended and his explanation is "no one could relax rn better than the three of us" and both of them agree because they both like and trust joly

-it doesn't work the first time. bahorel doesnt know how to talk to combeferre and combeferre feels like he has nothing to contribute to the conversation. joly is trying so hard to make it work, bless his heart, but when he tries smushing them together like dolls who should play together it just doesn't work

-but that doesn't mean joly was wrong. at all.

-the next time they meet is because a meeting got cancelled due to weather. combeferre was already there, though, and bahorel's phone was dead, so they ride through a bad storm in a doner shop together. bahorel only stands the awkwardness for about ten minutes before asking if combeferre wants a beer. combeferre sighs with a shrug because might as well, so bahorel gets up to go buy a couple from the fridge

-while he's up, combeferre sort of subconsciously watches him. bahorel is a big dude. he's tall and wide like combeferre but there's like this solid muscle that lies beneath him. his biceps and back muscles are defined, even through his shirt, and combeferre just... lets his mind wander. because bahorel is attractive and combeferre has a nice view from behind.

-but he finds it creepy and fucked up to stare at someone just because combeferre notices they're attractive, so as soon as bahorel turns around with the two beers and a regular kebab and then a dürüm, which he hands to combeferre because he "seems like a dürüm dude". they clink their little bottles together and eat quietly for a bit. bahorel keeps flicking his eyes up towards combeferre like he wants to say something, but doesn't know what. combeferre cant blame him, a lot of people suppose that he's boring, or are just plain old scared of him. so he assumes that perhaps this will just be another sad, quiet stretch of silence between the two. they're friends of friends, never destined to get along

-"what's on your wrist?" bahorel finally asks, pointing to combeferre's hand. he's genuinely curious and has noticed it a few times. combeferre typically wears long sleeves and he's only seen parts. it looks like a tattoo, but he can only see the top

-combeferre blinks at him like he's surprised, but sets the dürüm down and pushes up the sleeve of his jumper. it's a tattoo that stretches across his forearm. bahorel is impressed, combeferre didn't seem like a tattoo guy. but then he goes and pushes up the other sleeve of his jumper and oh my god combeferre maybe has a whole tattoo sleeve.

-combeferre talks about it for a little bit- he mentions that his professors advise him not showing off his arms in the medical workplace so he typically wears sweaters or long sleeves under shorter sleeves and it's a habit at this point. the one on his forearm is a piece done in remembrance of his father- something bahorel knows about loosely but has never heard him actually bring it up. he and his sister got matching ones a few years back on the 10th anniversary of his death and it's very personal to him. the other sleeve is a bit random. it's just things combeferre found cool, like birds and bones and the littlest of details that bahorel could look at all day until combeferre pushes his sleeves back down

-"they're sick," bahorel says. "really really sick". and combeferre smiles as he takes another bite of his food. the conversation goes from there, they start talking about tattoos and bahorel's own (it's just one- a small rhino skull on the top of his thigh) and it turns into animal conservation and from there it turns to documentaries theyve seen and then their childhoods and random fears in life

-by the time the weather settles down and they head off in their separate ways, bahorel says they should talk more. combeferre agrees and they wave each other off

-bahorel gets a text that night on insta. it's a meme combeferre sent that's vaguely unfunny but related to something they discussed today. he likes the message and smiles to himself because maybe he really wants combeferre as a friend

-they don't make major efforts to hang out, but they text. they text during class and they briefly speak at meetings before going off to their own separate corners and they talk before and after they start, joking about the weather and getting trapped inside again

-so they're not best friends, but it's more than they were before

-combeferre is struggling a little bit, because this breaking him a little bit. that dam he's built up in his head that keeps his thoughts of sex and romance feels like it's cracking open. he's been referred to as the "token straight friend" for years and for some reason he's terrified of changing that. he's terrified of coming to terms with the fact that maybe he's queer, despite the fact that he knows a fair amount of queer people. he's terrified of one day eventually explaining it to his mom and the possibility of arguing with her and he's terrified of people seeing him as less of a person. he's scared.

-but he's also trying to take notes at home and cant focus because he's thinking about bahorel's body and the tight shirt he saw him in recently that showed off his pecs and- combeferre takes off his glasses and presses his palms into his eyes because it's inappropriate to think of a friend that way and he's a disgusting pervert. he doesn't like bahorel because he has 'morals' and it's wrong to look at a friend that way. which is perfect, because he doesn't have to worry about being gay after that

-bahorel is different. he's repressed in the sense where he just thinks he wants combeferre as a friend so badly. he wants to talk to him more and gets so excited whenever they text because combeferre is his friend and he gets weirdly jealous sometimes. because theyre friends, and that's normal. and it's normal for him to want combeferre's attention and to take off his glasses and gently place the pads of his thumbs under his eyes to hold him in place and get a detailed look at his eyes or to run his hands through his hair to see what it feels like

-the second time they hang, bahorel texts combeferre to see if he wants to play racquet ball. combeferre is kind of ? but agrees and they go to a gym and play their funky little ball game for a few hours. they're both sweating and laughing and then laughing harder at the echo of the room and it's fun. it's really fun. combeferre wonders why he hasn't befriended someone like bahorel before and bahorel is just jazzed that combeferre likes him

-they're pretty active friends. enjolras jokes that he never saw combeferre move so much before befriending bahorel, which is maybe a little true. but they play tennis and racquet ball and they'll go on runs together some mornings and they're just always sort of out and about. they find a good activity and then roll with it

-there's this one day where they jokingly attend one of those elder swimming lessons and all the little old ladies are so flirty with bahorel and combeferre and there's a moment when bahorel is watching combeferre blush profusely at this 80 year old woman telling him he looks so strong and handsome and... he agrees. he looks at combeferre's heavy chest hair and his broad shoulders and big arms and wow. he's never noticed that about his friend before. the tattoos curve around his beefy arms and oh- there's one on his back, right across the shoulder blades.

-and bahorel has it burned into his brain. he cant sleep that night, he just... he thinks about combeferre. and his tats, and his body hair, and his beefiness. and he gets concerned because suddenly (well, not that suddenly) he's really turned on. and that's terrifying to him, because he thought he'd stamped out that part of him when he was fifteen.

-they're both attracted to each other and it scares them. badly.

-there's a day when bahorel, joly, and combeferre are all studying together at a campus library. they'll sit in silence as they work, but it's comforting to have study buddies and have that sort of incentive to keep working. they force each other to accomplish things through friendly intimidation

-but anyway, combeferre sits across from bahorel as they work. bahorel thinks that he's resting his foot against the table leg- but it's not. it's pressed up against combeferre's shin and he doesn't seem intent on moving it (literally because he doesn't know). combeferre is, once again, terrified. he doesn't know what's going on. he stares at bahorel a bit, who will look back up at him in confusion because in his mind, combeferre keeps staring into his soul for no reason

-joly has earbuds in, so bahorel whispers at him.

-"what?"

-and combeferre looks to joly before going back to bahorel with his eyebrows pulled together. "What do you mean, 'what'?"

-bahorel asks the classic "like what you see?". it's bad phrasing- he's just trying to be amusing about the staring situation. but combeferre has had bahorel's foot seemingly snuggled up next to him for the past hour and combeferre is suddenly very very afraid that bahorel is coming onto him, and he's very very afraid because this is what he maybe wants

-combeferre opens his mouth like he's going to say something, but no words come out. that dam breaks and he cant think, because his brain is flooded. so he throws his shit into his bag and gets up very fast to leave. joly pulls out an earbud with a confused look for the second where bahorel is still processing what's happening

-"whats with him?" joly asks, but bahorel gets up and jogs after him through a short maze of bookshelves. combeferre is going in zig-zags. he'd heard it was an evasive maneuver for alligators, but apparently didn't work on bahorel because a hand lands on his shoulder and combeferre is turned around

-"what did i do?" bahorel asks, very very confused. "did i make you mad? i dont understand"

-combeferre's blood is pounding in his ears because he is attracted to bahorel. he is attracted to him and bahorel's face is inches away from his own. he is so completely attracted to bahorel and men in general and he reaches forward and kisses him

-but bahorel immediately steps away and goes "wait, wait. i'm not-"

-and that's all combeferre has to hear before his face is on fire and he spins on his heels and rushes to the nearest exit.

-bahorel tells joly that combeferre wasn't feeling well. he doesn't get anymore work done that day

-the next few days are weird. enjolras has been housing a very mopey combeferre, who stays on his couch with eyes focused on the scifi movie marathon he started. enjolras tries asking him what's wrong the first day to no avail, and on the fourth day he's a little tired. so he tries again

-"what's wrong?" / "nothing" / "when you lie, the left side of your mouth twitches"

-combeferre shifts uncomfortably for a moment before sighing. "do you ever feel like there's something really wrong with you?" enjolras sort of shrugs "i guess. what's wrong with you?"

-he doesnt want to answer. he eats a forkful of two day old pad thai and sighs again. "i think i screwed up my friendship with bahorel"

-he doesnt elaborate after that. enjolras takes that quiet moment to come over and give him a little platonic kiss to the top of the head before sitting down next to him on the couch and asking what the plot of the current movie was

-meanwhile, bahorel goes to school. he goes to the gym. he goes to feuilly's apartment. he tries not to think. he fails. he practices what he wants to say to combeferre: "im sorry, but i dont feel the same way", "im straight", "i think we should only be friends"

-none of them sound right. he's humiliated at how hard this is. he's humiliated at the fact that he fears that a single man can tear down years of walls around sexuality he's built. he's humiliated that combeferre kissed him. he was probably throwing bahorel a bone- he probably had crawled into his psyche and discovered his weird attraction to him and tried kissing him once, only was so disgusted at the thought of kissing bahorel that he immediately needed to flee the scene and ignore him for a week

-bahorel is a modern man, so he turns to reddit in times of trouble. he's on r/relationships, making a general post addressing the situation and asking for help on how to fix things with his friend and how to convince him that he's not actually gay so his friend doesnt have to cross lines with him. after about 2 days he gets a few replies and a text from grantaire with a ss attached reading "lol is this you"

-he winds up attempting talking to grantaire about it and ends up sort of getting his ear talked off with no resolve before going back to joly. he poises him with a theoretical friendship with someone from his law classes and explains it that way. joly sort of gives him a look during all of this but plays along as he tries to mentally piece together who this is actually about- until bahorel mentions a library and "ohhhhhhhh"

-joly hadnt clocked either of them as queer, but combeferre seemed to be (despite what bahorel said) and bahorel... seemed to possibly be as well (despite what bahorel said). he feels a little sad because he admittedly hasnt heard from combeferre in a while (and he skipped the class they have together) and bahorel seems so stressed out by this whole thing. when bahorel's story comes to a stop, joly clears his throat and just asks outright: "do you know for certain that you only like your classmate as a friend?" and bahorel just silently shakes his head and he seems so defeated that joly gets up and comes over to wrap him in a hug

-"im afraid to be gay," bahorel says very quietly, and joly understands. "most of us are," he says in return and gives bahorel a good squeeze, "but at some point fear becomes pride"

-bahorel anxiously waits around the next few days before seeing combeferre out and about with enjolras. he's wrapped up in his scarf and coat and is looking in the window of some deli when noticing bahorel picking up an order. combeferre's eyes widen before returning to their normal state

-enjolras is busy playing some offbrand match-3 game on his phone, so combeferre clears his throat and just goes "hey. uh- we, uh, we can just forget all of it. it was a mistake, im sorry i did that."

-and bahorel's heart sinks in his chest at the word "mistake", but he swallows down his feelings and nods. he holds out a little fist bump as a peace offering, and combeferre smiles and pounds it gently.

-it's almost like their friendship ends there. they dont talk as much, they dont text as much, and they dont go out to play tennis. both of them hate that it's over, but neither of them know how to go about fixing it.

-summer hits eventually. combeferre doesn't see bahorel for a while as he goes on a summer holiday to see his mom and sister. it's a little relaxing until he gets asked if he's found a girl yet. combeferre shakes his head and doesn't admit to the embarrassing amount of times he's jerked off to... not girls. it's only later that week when he's hanging out with his sister and she tells him about her boyfriend. he's trans and at first, she was worried that their mom would end up disapproving. she was so scared to bring him home until she decided that who she liked was who she liked, and their mom's opinion wouldn't change that. luckily for her, mom was pretty understanding, albeit confused because "how do you even know who and what you are at 16" bc moms are always like that. now she's listening to lady gaga and apparently is really accepting

-this is still frightening, though, because he's eldest son and the ""man of the family"" and the thought of telling her makes him choke up. but there's this moment one night when the two of them are watching a movie together when she just decides to remind him that "i love you no matter what", because sometimes you just have to say it. and combeferre breaks down crying. she looks over worriedly because combeferre stopped crying a long time ago. combeferre's strong emotions always came out in anger after his dad's death, never sadness. he hasn't cried since he was twelve. combeferre is twenty-six now and crying into his mother's shoulder and he just opens up with ragged breaths about how terrified he is of it all and how he has so much difficultly supporting all of his queer friends and being unable to support himself and he is just so tired of feeling like he wont ever be loved the way he wants to because he's so scared of trying and failing "this late in the game"

-and his mother just listens and cradles his head because combeferre is twenty-six, but he's still her baby. and he still needs his mother. and she lets him talk and sob and talk and sob until no more words come out and she gently lets him know that twenty-six is in no way old, nor is it too late to start. she talks to him about her friend from college who didn't get married until her mid 40s and is perfectly happy, and how it isnt a bad thing to be a late bloomer. and most importantly: being gay in no way makes him any less of a man. and she would never love him any less for it

-combeferre stays there for a while. his head hurts from crying and he's tired from everything and being loved by his mom was some form of reassurance that he needed very very very badly

-when he returns to paris, he tells courfeyrac because he knows courf will tell enjolras and that's easier than telling both of them separately.

-bahorel has spent the summer differently. he dropped out of school despite passing his latest exams, he's gotten an okay job, and he's still struggling. badly. with the whole... queer thing. he spends most of his time either working out or doing things with feuilly or joly and not thinking about his sexuality- because it isn't a problem. and it isn't something to be worried about.

-only in july does he see combeferre again. prouvaire got an offer to work in prague for the next 6 months and is having a going away party, so it's one of the only times he's been this near him aside from meetings. bahorel gives a little wave and tight smile when he sees combeferre, which is returned, but they don't stick around each other bc they no-homo'd each other so hard that they repel like the same side of two magnets.

-a couple hours into the party, combeferre is sort of really high. he's on like his 4th bong rip and is blinking either way too much or way too little (he cant tell) and wow. wow. he's been watching this football game on the tv like it's an animal documentary and makes commentary here and there before bahorel joins their little smoke circle and eventually winds up next to him on the floor as they watch this football game. everybody else seems distracted with their own conversations and high bahorel doesnt have that mental filter that knows that he and combeferre are in a weird not-friend area, so he just asks how combeferre's holiday was

-combeferre is still stuck on the amount of blinks he's doing per minute and turns his head a little slowly to stare at bahorel before processing what he's said and responding. he tells him about going home for two weeks and seeing his mom and sister and you know what? combeferre is high. so he mentions that he's in the process of coming out as something and how weird it is to come out now as opposed to everyone else they know coming out between ages 13-20. but then he changes the subject entirely and starts talking about fifa and the football game on the screen

-bahorel is still stuck on the part where combeferre basically just goes "haha yeah no im gay now" and has his heart beating a little too fast in his chest before inhaling deeply and talking to him about football because bahorel isn't somebody who worries about his sexuality because he has nothing to worry about. nothing. not even combeferre wearing a short-sleeved shirt that shows off his beefy arms and his tats and his glasses sort of askew on the tip of his nose

-they talk about football until they're in the kitchen with two spoons and the pint of ice cream they found in courfeyrac's fridge, sitting on the floor again and taking turns getting scoops of ice cream as they talk about conspiracy theories and cyber security and famous statues (? you had to be there to understand). both of them feel pretty at ease, they'd forgotten that they got along in the first place

-eventually the pint is emptied and combeferre is complaining about having a brain freeze and bahorel doesnt have to worry about his sexuality but he says that he can help. bahorel reaches forward with a hand on combeferre's thigh. he pauses maybe an inch or two away from combeferre's face. combeferre stares at him expectantly with a little lopsided blink and he's just so nice-looking, in a weird way. his stubble is well groomed and his eyes are very dark and the look in his blood-shot eyes is so kind and innocent. and bahorel wants to kiss him, very badly.

-and that scares him

-combeferre blinks again in surprise as bahorel very quickly gets to his feet with a red face and heads down the hall to courfeyrac's bedroom. combeferre gets flashbacks to february and the library and he gets to his feet, leaving their ice cream stuff on the floor and hurrying after bahorel into the room

-"what's your problem?" combeferre asks after closing the door behind him. "are we just gonna keep doing this and ignoring each other?"

-bahorel has his arms wrapped around himself. "no. it's not a 'this', we don't have a 'this'." / "you wanted to kiss me" / "no" / "no? what the hell was that then?"

-and bahorel's shoulders rise and fall as he breathes, not sure what to say. "i'm scared," he eventually goes with. "i'm just scared, okay?"

-combeferre almost laughs. "im scared too, has that occurred to you? but the more we avoid this the worse it'll get. do you want this or not?"

-bahorel thinks for a moment before his nose scrunches up and he steps forward and takes either side of combeferre so he can actually kiss him this time. they're both still fairly high so it's not like... the greatest kiss ever but neither of them care too much. after a while combeferre has a hand grabbing the back of bahorel's neck and pushes him backwards until courfeyrac's bed hits the backs of bahorel's knees and he falls into a sit. there's a lot of aggressive making out and grabby hands because both of them are a little pent up. like badly pent up. like twenty-six and twenty-eight years of repressed sexuality pent up. they're allowing themselves to just... be queer dudes. they're allowing themselves to be gay, maybe, and not feel terrified because of it

-and they're not friends, not really, because they're a lot more than that. they're two people with the same relationship with queerness and figuring things out together can be easier

-courfeyrac has a riot when he finds out that combeferre had sex in his bed. he has never been more betrayed in his life! combeferre apologizes by washing his sheets and helping clean up after the party

-anyway, bahorel still needs some time to come to terms with things. combeferre does as well. self-hatred runs deep in their blood and it's hard to just overcome something like that. they're both open about it with each other- bahorel laying in bed, tracing the curves of combeferre's body as he just thinks out loud, or combeferre mentioning it when they hang out and he needs a moment

-bahorel's cat doesn't take well to combeferre. not at first. she's an old stray he rescued and nursed back to health who is very territorial and not open to meeting strangers. for the first few months of them dating, bahorel has to move her into another room when ferre is over so it doesn't cause drama. but then little by little she comes around. bahorel has combeferre feed her a few times so she can associate him with food and good vibes. it takes an even longer time to convince her to allow combeferre to pet her, but once she does it feels like he's climbed a mountain and finally reached the peak. after about a year and a half, bahorel will find combeferre asleep on the couch with her curled up on his stomach

-they're both big dudes. big dudes who are heat-sensitive and sweaty and struggle during the summer bc "omg bahorel please move over it is too fucking hot to cuddle", but in the winter they are both genetically built for spooning

-joly and musichetta are their go-to double date pair. all four of them get along really well together. the running joke is that musichetta can marry combeferre if joly dies horrendously and vice-versa bc the two of them get along so well. musichetta works as a biochemist and she and combeferre are both big STEM people and can talk about sciencey things for hours. musichetta is combeferre's emotional support straight woman.

-after about three years of being dating they move in together. their apartment is as far away from the touristy stuff that they could possibly get but close enough to the metro so both of them can get to work. they've decided that if they ever get married, they'd move either to the black forest area because both of them speak german and like the peace and quiet

-bahorel allows himself to indulge in feminine things after becoming comfortable in his sexuality. he projected a lot of his insecurities into being this all-masculine man, but that isn't totally who he is. combeferre walks in on him one day when he gets off early from work and finds bahorel testing out heels in their bedroom. bahorel is humiliated at first, but combeferre isnt here to judge him. so he explains that he likes this sort of stuff and combeferre says in return that he'll support him no matter what (and with a kiss to the cheek, he tells him that he thought the red shoes were cutest)

-enjolras and bahorel are also unlikely friends. courf and enjolras both approve of combeferre's choice in men (and despite being the most aroace a person can be, enjolras does give his input that "bahorel is really fuckin sexy" and combeferre is a lucky dude bc "goddamn"). enjolras likes bahorel's drive and thinks he's wild enough to convince combeferre to let loose sometimes

-now THESE guys love pda. ive mentioned couples who dont like pda before but this is different. combeferre and bahorel have worked for years to become comfortable letting go of that fear of not fitting into a heteronormative world and they deserve their pda. to them, letting go of that fear really is their pride. they hold hands. combeferre will keep a hand in bahorel's pocket, or an arm around his waist. they're no longer scared to kiss in public or visibly appear together. they aren't the movie-typical twinky and dainty teenagers that people are sort of used to seeing be queer. they're just two fucking dudes who love each other and theyre allowed to show off in public

-bahorel is embarrassingly loud at combeferre's graduation. embarrassingly loud. joly pouts that he wasn't as loud for him and bahorel looks him dead in the eyes and ends that conversation right where it started

-combeferre's mom really likes bahorel. it's a big relief when she meets him because combeferre was anxious about it for so long. but now bahorel goes home with him on holidays and smokes meats for dinner and cooks with her and it's just... it's domestic. and it's the kind of life combeferre is glad to have (one with a big ol man that can carve meat and somehow complains every single time that he fucked it up despite it tasting fantastic)

-bahorel's family is a little different. his parents dont believe that he's queer for a long time and struggle with accepting it, but eventually they get over it. bahorel's sisters approve, they made him feel a lot better about it when he eventually comes out. when combeferre meets his family for the second time, bahorel's dad gives him a firm handshake and murmurs that he seems like a really good man. bahorel's family isn't great at being outward about their thoughts and emotions, so that's the closest the two of them will get to having a clear approval. it's sort of emotional for both of them

-they're the airfryer meatsmoker power couple you should fear. both of them have schmoney and use their fancy kitchenware very often. because of this, they're both very good cooks and major food snobs. dont you dare serve them a frozen meal, they'll know immediately.

-they also have a little garden on their balcony. they grow tomatoes and mint and basil and little peppers and they care for them very meticulously.

-their first pride is when they're both in their mid-thirties. they had never really thought about going to one before, but after finally being out for years and allowing themselves to love each other it makes sense. it's like joly said to bahorel some years ago: "at some point fear becomes pride". they're at that point now, where they're proud of being queer. it's a big deal to see people younger and older than them all celebrating the same thing

-both of them started with their sexualities locked behind a door. it feels good to open that door and throw the key away finally. being proud is freeing, and it's what they deserve

i saw a bunch of other people doing trafficsonas and since its come to my attention that cringe culture can burn ive decided to make my own lol

still on the fence about the skull and bone charm thing. idk someone give me feedback and i might change it out or remove it

this is ermine. his name isnt permanent i might change it considering its literally just polilla’s dads name. also if it isnt obvious hes based off polilla bc my current skin doesnt have much to work off of

lives in a cave in the middle of the tundra because its ‘easier to defend’, which is codeword for ‘who the hell would put effort into building a house when you got a house built by mother nature herself right here’

literal menace. finds joy in blowing up peoples houses despite the current life hes on. also disappeared for the entire first session just to breed an entire army of dogs for the sole reason of He Could

depending on his life, his pupil color and sword gem changes color, while the badges on his sash crack and stop glowing. theres also moths on the back of his shawl that change color, and starting from green life as he loses lives he also loses moths, until hes only left with a big red moth on his last life [queue laugh track]

the beads are random colors but the ones on his dogs do correlate to the life theyre on- btw if your wondering why the heart colors are weird its bc i just color picked from his outfit and just turn the saturation and brightness up, hence why green is yellow and yellow is orange

i am planning* [*see : rotating it in my mind] on making a traffic hc post about how the players make their clothes, but the basics is they spawn in with their clothes from other servers, but as their clothes get torn up from classic scuffles such as Dying, they have to make new clothes with what they have to work with, for example: wool, leather, string, cotton / hemp / other plant-based materials, furs, etc.

as for ermine, he spawns in with his base clothes [sweater, pants, and boots] and has to make the rest of his clothes with various leathers and fur. and for the select few of you asking where he got the polar bear parts: um uh uhm,,, i personally believe that the map he plays in is alot bigger and encompasses more biomes, including cold biomes such as his tundra and also frozen oceans.

its kinda like a uhc game in a way if you think about it, with a bigger but still enclosed map, and the border slowly closes in each session until all the players are forced into the middle and ok i need to just make a proper post for this stuff Moving on

the dog breeding deal kinda backfires on him when he dies to a skeleton while farming bones [he just like me fr [bc he is]]

after that he kinda begins to realize ‘damn. im gonna die’ and starts wearing the mask more, kinda as a threat, bc we all know characters with masks are more mysterious and therefor dangerous. except for him bc he runs at the sight of any conflict as he is absolute ASS at fighting. hence the blowing everything up part

when he dies again his were-aspect starts to show itself in places like him growing wolf and dragon parts and scales and fur showing up on his face and limbs. its kinda annoying but he supposes its useful considering it also comes with heightened senses + partial night vision

and now red life. This is when it all goes downhill for everyone including him

like all stereotypical weres, he loses the majority of his sense of humanity and just starts going literally, as the cool kids say, off the shits- he doesnt hesitate to attack everyone and anyone, even if it risks him getting killed in the process. there is no stops for this man, someone is going to die and it doesnt matter who

yes he still has his dogs, at least the ones that remain, though at this point hes less a commander and more one of them, attacking in one big pack of fluffy piranhas

dubbed ‘the bloodhound’, he attacks mainly under the cover of dark, be it at night or in dark places like caves. just like his namesake, once he gets a scent on his next victim, he will track them down to the ends of time until they finally turn and fight back

the name ‘bloodhound’ comes from the concept of werewolves shifting during the full moon, the inherent violence of red lifes, the fact that hes literally a dog, bloodmoons, his red circle markings, etc. etc. tl;dr its cool

#if anythings spelt wrong sorry i dont care lol #trafficsona #trafficblr #digital art #artists on tumblr #illustration #:0

fanfic idea that i prolly will never write to its full potential:

essentially it’s acotar meets the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe.

in the modern world: nesta is 28, elain 27, feyre 25. nesta is a nurse, which she unsurprisingly hates, but it pays well and she was hoping to meet a doctor boyfriend. she does, but he’s very unromantic. it’s mostly a loveless relationship that she wants to end but doesnt. sometimes though, he’ll write her little notes for her to find in random places, and it quells the urge to leave. she has her own apartment but usually stays at her boyfriend’s.

elain’s a teacher. she works at a prestigious preschool, where they have their own garden that she loves to work on. she is engaged to grayson, a firefighter who she loves very much. she lives with grayson at his house.

feyre works at the farm with their dad. nesta and elain has tried many times to get her to leave. she had amazing grades in high school, she’s a great athlete, she could easily get into a good school and graduate with flying colors and little debt, but feyre chooses to stay with their dad, who has chosen to not only be a recluse but a sorry state of what he used to be before their mom died. she stayed because of a promise she made her mom before she passed. to earn money outside of keeping up with the farm, feyre would paint.

with help from her friend and neighbor claire, she was able to set up advertisements around their small town for paintings. she would either sell ones she’s already made, or she would paint what clients wanted her to. one day she was commissioned to paint a room. it was an eerie kind of room. it was small and there were no other furniture or decor aside from a tall and plain looking wardrobe. it was also weird because she never met the client in person. she was given instructions to go into the house, finding the key in the pot with the roses.

as she was painting. she gets the urge to open the wardrobe. but the instructions say do not under any circumstance open it. she ends up leaving early and not finishing the painting, promising to come back another day.

on solstice day, nesta and elain come to visit and wish her a happy birthday. this was a surprise as her sisters rarely visit. both sisters say they’re not really sure why they came either, that they just had this urge to come back to the farm. feyre tells them about her painting business and the recent commission on the wardrobe. elain’s interest is piqued and with a bit of wine in their system they all go to see it.

with the three women in the room, they couldn’t help but open it. it also wasn’t plain looking anymore. there were now wood carvings that decorated it. there was a mountain range with three big mountains that loomed over the others. stars in the sky, roses spotted on the bottom, designs that seemed like flames. at first glance you wouldn’t notice all these little details, but the closer they got the more they popped up. there were random figures and people on the wood now. or they looked like people with pointed ears. on top of the highest mountain were three winged men.

feyre opens the wardrobe and they’re sorely disappointed as all it had were coats and jackets and fur. they noticed that it suddenly got super cold, as if someone had opened a door. nesta said they should go back, they don’t know when the owners will get back and they don’t want to get caught. feyre goes inside though and when she doesn’t come back out, elain follows her. nesta goes as well.

thus their adventure begins.

honestly i just want a fic that expands on their sisterly relationship. something where they’re not blaming the other for whatever. i want more examples from their childhood why they are the way they are. like why was nesta so much more protective of elain than feyre? was it bc she knew elain needed it more? did she know that feyre would be okay regardless? and it seemed like there were times that feyre was okay with how things were. why wasn’t she ever mad or resentful for how nesta and elain treated her? why tf are we getting outsider povs (aka rhys n cas) talking about their relationship, and making complaints when the person affected doesn’t seem to have any. ??? this series is good about romance and found families but in regards to their actual family, it’s shitty. like even in acosf, you’d think bc nesta and elain were close that we’d get some sister bonding w them two but nope. i think sjm either hates her sister or doesn’t have any of her own. anyways i was thinking that narnia was a good series that had an actual good depiction of siblings where they were all main characters.

It doesn’t feel right…or the same I guess…

To know he’s lied and on purpose to be mean…and if I hadn’t pressed he wouldn’t have told me. Straight to my face, even though we both knew I heard him say words. And I don’t even know what he said under his breath still…that makes my heart so heavy. That’s my biggest number hard line is honesty, I’m so brutally honest even when it paints me badly, and to just do it so easily without thought… and then yesterday hearing him say that to having me plug in the ps4 wasn’t something hard for him like he said, but because he didn’t want to do it that day…just ask me because you’re tired if I’ll do it?? There’s less and less communication as the days go on and I don’t know what to think…

He doesn’t really ask how or what went on in my day or what’s up with my doctors appointments or anything unless I say something. And when I do it’s “ok got it” or “gotcha” and not even a conversation? Or I’ll be talking about something important to me and I’ll get “mhm” “ya” “ooh” like? We use to have such long deep conversations about each other or anything else…I feel like he doesn’t care anymore because it seems like he doesn’t listen or is always forgetting about me now.. he doesn’t remember anything about my appointments or what I’ve got going on even though I always talk about it, I show him things and then he does exactly the same thing as if I didn’t do it, or says the same thing I just explained as if I didn’t say it, I communicate my boundaries and what’s important for me to feel loved clearly in plain words and he doesn’t ever remember those, fuck even today he bought regular creamer even though I’m lactose intolerant and already make the sacrifice to drink regular milk, and I try to talk more playing stardew but then he just goes off doing his own thing anyway and doesn’t even try to play together or whatever he wanted? I thought he was supposed to teach me his play style and how to be better partners together and he’s just given up even when I’m still trying and it hurts…I say oo I’ll wait for you for this dungeon we just unlocked! (Because I like being included and including him, I’ve said several times. And just doing the big stuff together) and he ignores me, goes about his day, and when i finally move into a completely different task, he goes and does it all by himself no words. Same with the barn, and most everything else…if im not supposed to do stuff like that, why would you? Not to mention I would never do the big stuff or expensive things without asking? Now I just have no care for how the farm looks or turns out, which I guess is good for my detachment but really sucks because I love this game and finally thought I had someone to share it with and build something together…

I feel so ignored and isolated and punished…he doesn’t even call me the same sweet names…doesn’t tell me he’s streaming or give me his new twitch..no Facebook updates…he doesnt tell me literally anything about himself or what he’s been up to without me squeezing it out of him…and he hasn’t posted on that tumblr in forever…was it love bombing? Was it just lust from him? Maybe I’m really not enough even when I’m trying and pushing myself over my limit…I’ve put myself through so much mental sadness and work for him to just give up so easy on me? Fuck this hurts… not to mention on top of it ofc the thing to start it all off I can’t even trust him anymore… exes that show up he doesn’t tell me about, telling me you didn’t say anything when I’m sitting right in front of you, I won’t even call it weaponized incompetence because he’s better than that but fuck is it close with the ps5 and fuckingn who knows how much else because I just want to care for him however I can…

I just want so purely to be loved and to love and be happy with him…and it feels like I’m trying harder and harder and he’s getting further away…I don’t think it’ll ever be the same. And maybe that’s because of me.

I’m sure I ruined everything. Like always. Everything that’s left me has claw marks on it.

gonna collect my thoughts on on earth we're briefly gorgeous since i finally read it after four years of it being the biggest thing in every sphere. preface is that i know this was like landmark literature & i can acknowledge that while also you know griping.

so first of all i thought this was straight up memoir when i read it due to assuming it was an extension of his more autobiographical poetry.

i made a joke abt how it reminded me of barry s3 but its like, the comparison is nearly there. turning from just depthless ancient sadness to like, extremely contemporaneous colloquial language and stylings. which isn't to say that the depictions of generational trauma in gorgeous (ancient sadness) are necessarily more remote/removed of course & in a lot of ways the early aughts details are alienating when you'd expect them to be grounding.

i also noticed how neatly this fits into the like goldfinch genre which im always going on about. obviously it borrows quite a bit thematically from the big gay dark academia epics (art trauma and memory) although crucially the academia element is sort of plucked out of the story. he goes to college this seems like it would have major implications in the narrative of americanness and yet it's barely factored in. and further barbara kingsolver totally did the whole first day on the tobacco farm thing in demon copperhead down to the gloves being too big. i'm calling dc a big etc gay novel even though it barely is because it also to me derives from that same tradition. However. and the point is. it disrupts that genre primarily by not being an epic. Like the prose is actually very efficient. a lot of the scenes are precisely what they are. to my taste i actually like a very long unwinding of every mood and development from one stage of life & being to the next & i do think. gorgeous accomplishes a lot of that even if nonlinearly. but for instance in the "sometimes being offered tenderness" scene, that felt to me like a moment that could have been more thoroughly arrived at as something that fundamentally changed the terms of little dog & trevor's relationship and their understanding of their place in their own & each other's lives. but instead it is so distilled. which is interesting. in a lot of other ways obviously it doesnt seem like theres a ton of disruption as with the dramatization of violence, drugs, intense angst etc and the very knowing floaty tone of the narration. which i did not appreciate as much.

last big point had to do with like, maturity of voice. to me this still seemed absolutely like . well a debut novel. an early work. i've read some of night sky with exit wounds and i have some familiarity otherwise with vuong but i don't think i've read anything more recent than gorgeous. i really like ocean vuong in interviews and i think he's immensely quotable which is a gift some writers have whether due to insight & reflection or just composure both of which are very impressive. vuong i think has both. however i think the impression i got over and over in gorgeous was that his voice either hasn't fully developed or he's still coming to terms with how to use it in practice. i think about this a lot, like what the metric is for a "mature" and "developed" individual voice vision style whatever in writing. basically it's when your conviction matches the level of your ambition & i did not see true conviction here. which is not a bad thing in and of itself in a novel of fragmentation disorientation and resistance. but amid the confusion and the immense efforts of the narrator to preserve recollect and reassemble there are still these grand poetic gestures of generalization summary and aphorism. once again "sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that we've been ruined" (one of the most successful attempts at generalization i think).

also he says somewhere in an interview that he's working against legibility which i'm not entirely sure he does. he mentions genre bending and the inclusion of for instance butterfly and opioid trivia, he mentions nonlinearity. all of this though is honestly more or less digestible, and the novel is actually fairly rigidly structured. Especially with the amount of im gonna call them tropes maybe cliches. that dictate the general plot progression. quite legible. & i feel even stronger abt that now that i realize those actually were conscious authorial placements and not like, real life experiences that just happened to follow a highly exaggerated narrative arc. which genuinely confused me when i was reading i thought he had to be at least embellishing. and he was

oh hey since I'm not trying to wedge eden into a self-insert-shaped hole anymore I can do whatever I want with him.. anyway random eden facts time:

he is aroace & pan-alterous w a preference for women. doesnt do relationships though & gets Really uncomfortable if he knows someone has feelings for him

the tattoo on his back is of a resurrection fern, to represent his resilience in life. (initially I wanted to go w mushrooms but then I listened to resurrection fern by iron & wine & the rest is history....) idk how trigun!eden would know about those.. maybe they saw a picture of it from an old book & was like yo that's pretty dope I need that on me. & it's entirely a coincidence it was a resurrection fern specifically. idk shrug :)

farm boy at heart who looooves large animals. u know those pictures of boys napping w cows. that's him

he looks pretty sleepy all the time but he can do pretty tough work for Days. it's just that this isnt healthy and as soon as he stops he needs to sleep for 100000 months to recover

he loves soups all kinds, but prefers thick soups

honestly he'll eat just about anything offered to him & eats A Lot. he loves food & giving him food is a good way to make him love you forever

wasnt allowed newfangled technology growing up (+ his family couldn't afford it anyway) so hes hopeless w modern tech & is mostly used to y2k stuff. his fashion sense is also from that era but thats just bc he likes the vibe

hes a pretty fast learner tho so hypothetically he Could learn to use more recent stuff pretty easily. he just doesnt want to.

I feel like hes religious. at least a little bit. like he never really fully dropped the christian beliefs he was brought up with even if he wishes he did. he'll mumble prayers under his breath in stressful situations or when stuff he perceives as miracles happen, gives quick thanks before bed and meals. probably visits church whenever he's feeling Really scattered. I think having these rituals from his childhood comforts him

hmm that's all I have rn but just know I'm always rotating him in my mind. obsessed w this guy (my own oc)

4, 12, and 28 for ocs of your choice?

Good morning, thank you for the ask! :D

4. What’s a hobby they used to have that they miss?

Cyrus- cyrus used to play piano! he stopped for a few reasons (lack of time, associations to the farm, "i am not spending my money on a whole ass piano") but he still remembers how to play, even if hes a bit rusty. he doesnt see any use for the hobby at the moment, which is another reason he hasn't kept up, but who knows. i cannot for the life of me remember if daniel owns and/or plays piano(wouldnt surprise me) but if he does then theyd totally play a duet together.

Cynthia- she was very fond of photography back in the day, but she's had to drop it for safety reasons. while she didnt like photos of herself, she did own a camera and used it liberally for candid shots for most of the rangers. ortega had the most pictures taken of her ofc, she had girlfriend privileges. she also had a good few for the general scenery of los diablos, to remind her of her home. some of the photos that she treasured most were kept on her person, but it got taken away and used as ammunition by the farm when she was discovered. she would pick it up again given the chance, but thats only guaranteeing the photos cant be traced back to her, which isnt happening atm rip.

12. What's something that makes them laugh every single time? Be specific!

Caine- hes my most stoic character, so its actually pretty difficult to make him laugh, but! spoon. definitely spoon. chen has seen caine laugh more in like, 5 months than he has in the several years hes known them. its a combination of whats essentially intoxication from spoons mind, a feeling of understanding they dont usually get with people, and the fact that walks with spoon is one of the very few times he feels safe enough to let his guard down. it helps that chen has pretty quiet thoughts, so theyre not punished for lowering their shields.

Cecilia- oh man, ceci loves to laugh, shes very giggly. if i had to choose though, you can always get her with a dad joke. it doesnt matter how bad it is(and honestly the worse it is the funnier it gets). this is at least 70% of the reason she hangs out with ortega btw. that man is so corny with his jokes and cecilia is shamelessly enabling him. theyre insufferable when theyre together.

28. What do they tell people they want? What do they actually want?

Caine- ok, well. caine avoids talking about themeselves like the plague so good luck getting an answer out of them in the first place. if he really couldnt avoid it, hed just say one of his goals(getting out of hark, for instance). its not wrong, per se, but it doesnt encompass what they actually want because they dont know what they want. in honesty hes a justice step, but hes stuck as a fate step until he has a suitable moment of "oh shit thats why im doing this". they want the heroes to function as actual heroes, instead of glorified lapdogs for the state. as for when everything is finally over, they want a massive fucking nap.

Cyrus- he tells others he wants people to leave him alone, and is Very Annoyed that nobodys listening to him. the reality is, ofc, the opposite lmfao. he cant stand to be alone, hed spiral worse than he already has without people to hold him steady. he wasnt like this before, he was a lot more open with his like for people, but the farm made him paranoid of connection and he just couldnt risk it. unfortunately for him, repression just caused it to turn around and bit him in the ass. gl cyrus, have fun with your new friends <3

Cecilia- cecis extremely open, bombastic, and utterly unashamed to say that shes doing everything for the hell of it. thats still true, she really is just doing things for kicks, but the biggest thing she wants is friends. shes not shy about saying it, but she doesnt get what having a friend entails. so instead, she ends up chasing an mirage of what friends look like, without realizing it needs connection to work. the first time she found an actual friend in daniel since heartbreak, it threw her for a loop.

Cynthia- she thinks she needs to be sidestep again. its not something shell admit for various reasons– the complete impossibility of it being one of them– so instead she settles for telling ortega that she needs to stay a civilian for her sanity. to be fair, thats not a total lie, if she went back to being a hero she would crack. i know its not part of the question but as an extra little nugget, what she needs is for somebody to look at her now and still care for her even compared to sidestep. she is my only step that needs to be told "sidestep is dead" and i swear im trying to beat it into her with a stick.

questions are from here!

#ortega should go on a walk with caine and chen actually #theyd get so jealous i just know it #“chen you get to see him like this all the time??? and you never told me???”#the temptation to make ceci friendless scar is strong but my enjoyment of hunger as a metaphor for loneliness is stronger #caine lynzal #cyrus becker #cecilia rider #cynthia garcia #thank you again for the ask!#even though its noon now lmfao #pulp answers #ask game
