for the character headcannons ask game, jason and cass?

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT im putting this one under a cut because it got SUPER long bc i cant shut up ever

lets start w jason

A (realistic headcanon):

ok using the ‘realistic’ category here loosely but GOD i love the idea of Damian & Jason having interacted while Jason was staying with the League before getting dunked in the Lazarus Pit. like. this obviously would need to be set more in preboot and following the Lost Days & Batman Annual 25 version of Jason’s resurrection, but god the idea of it just makes me scream in a good way. Like... these are things Jason likely doesn’t remember very clearly once he’s brought back to life more fully by the pit because he was uh pretty catatonic, but Damian being a little kid and knowing about the boy that his mother keeps around the base, that she’s trying to help bring back to health. Damian not even knowing that’s his big brother, just that he’s a presence that shares his mother’s attention. Jason again being unresponsive but like, ok god you know that part of lost days where Talia shows the others observing him that he only fights back at those he perceives as genuine threats trying to hurt him,

Because Jason can perceive that she’s safe, she’s not actually trying to hurt him, he trusts her because she saved him? thinking about lil child Damian who is ya know already being trained in fighting stuff and like the idea of him trying to provoke Jason just to see what happens but Jason not fighting back because on some level be it his connection to Talia or even little baby Damian visually reminding him of Bruce, he knows that Damian is safe too 🥺

and then when Jason and Damian meet again in Gotham as Red Hood & Robin respectively, Jason not really remembering because there was so much going on back then for him, but Damian realizing that oh... that was Him

B (hilarious):

alright so if we are looking at comics currently, in modern stuff jason is what, like 22? hes old enough to drink in the US but still definitely early 20s so around my around my age, thats what im using as a basis here. if we adjust timeline and still consider his death having happened when he was 15, that puts it around 2013. and then coming back to like interacting with people about three years later if we still kinda base things off of the preboot timeframe (since we never got a super solid retelling of the timeline of death -> resurrection -> training -> tries to get revenge aside from knowing he went to the all-caste instead of the lost days version of the story) making him reenter the regular world and stuff around age 18 in 2016. meaning a solid three years of pop culture that he was entirely missing, and like im sorry but he really doesn’t strike me as the type to bother looking into what he missed, he’s kinda busy focusing on other stuff. lets take a quick look at some major things from those years. 2013 gave us ‘what does the fox say’ and ‘the harlem shake’ . 2014 had that time U2 just put a fuckin album on everyone’s phones, The Fault In Our Stars movie came out. 2015 introduced the phrase ‘Netflix and Chill’ and the whole blue & black vs gold & white dress debate happened. imagine any of the other batkids (or even arguably roy during rhato stuff) bringing these things up and jason’s ensuing confusion. thank you for your time

C (heart-crushing):

so. there are two specific instances from rebirth era Jason i want to bring up here and much like a lot of these it’s less a headcanon and more of an inference based on observations, but i wanna take a sec to discuss Jason’s relationship with other people’s death. early in rebirth, Tim ‘dies’ from that whole thing in detective comics. he didn’t actually die, we as readers know, but in-universe they all very much so thought he was dead. frustratingly a lot of the batfam wasn’t really shown mourning him aside from in the Detective Comics Rebirth title itself (which just. when a major character dies even if its temporary- that should have a ripple effect) BUT an exception to that is in RHATO 2016, where we get this offhanded comment in Jason’s internal monologuing

similarly later when Roy, who like, had an incredibly close relationship w Jason that had just gotten mended before Heroes in Crisis, gets fuckin murdered in that whole thing... Jason doesn’t go to his funeral either. He leaves a dramatic voice mail and then visits the grave on his own later, choosing to instead keep working on the mission they’d started rather than going and taking the time to mourn properly.

Jason’s relationship with death is incredibly complicated, obviously. He has died, he has come back, and he now is willing to cross the line most other bats won’t and will kill people when he deems it necessary. I think thats something important though- he doesn’t just like... go around killing for fun (usually, some writers preboot made him a little murder happy but even then usually this still was vaguely followed) he kills people he thinks deserved it. Like, even looking back at the mess of Morrison’s Jason during Batman & Robin 2009, Jason was still trying to bring a sense of justice with who he was killing (”punishment that fits the crime”), it wasn’t killing for the sake of killing. He sees things in this kind of almost black and white ‘people who deserve it’ and ‘people who don’t’ way, and he has no problem dealing with death when it’s with the people he thinks deserve it.

but when someone who doesn’t in his mind ‘deserve it’ gets killed? i think he just goes into total avoidance mode. throws himself into other things he’s doing, tries not to dwell on it too much no matter how much he still thinks about it (this is especially evident in him consistently telling people “i’m fine!” after what happened to Roy, despite bringing Roy up literally like every few issues for a WHILE after he died and very clearly still struggling with it, Artemis is the only one who gets through to him on it a little bit)

but yeah, I just think that from Jason’s relatively unique situation of having been murdered, he knows what it’s like and he is perfectly fine wishing that on people he thinks are bad and deserve it, but it crushes him to imagine the people he loves and cares about having to experience something as painful as what he went through. not to mention the whole “I came back, why do I get a second chance at all this when they, who are a much better person than I am, probably won’t” mindset we get some implications of him having

D (canon is a coward and won’t)

hello DC i am once again insisting a batfam member is bisexual

CASS TIME

A (realistic headcanon):

ok so we know cass likes ballet. thats canon. however i think we also should in general explore cass experiencing other types of dance/performance as well, be it herself as a performer or even just watching. like... god imagine her & like my brain just automatically for group activities puts her with tim steph and duke but also for this in particular I feel would be a Jason embraced activity, but like them going to see a broadway show or some other professional theatre or something, and her just being enthralled by the reading of body language of the performers! like again by any point in current stuff cass does have like, the ability to speak fine (reading still hard tho) but even so I think like. okay im a theatre kid if that’s not obvious from the Everything About Me but one thing I always do after seeing a show is ya know spend dinner afterwards discussing it with whoever i saw it with.

I just think that like, bringing those people i just mentioned to the table to discuss seeing a show after would be so FASCINATING because cass would bring this whole perspective of critiquing their acting on a whole different level- not based on how well they delivered lines out loud, but by what their body language was saying as they moved on stage. like im very amused by the idea of cass getting a totally different picture in her mind about what a character’s motivations were because she was paying way more attention to what their physicality was saying vs the words that were written and how they were delivered. i think the debates her and the others would have would be EPIC there. jason defending the text as it was written adamantly and cass being like ‘ok yeah sure but thats not what they did’

B (hilarious):

cass having no concept of money because why would she bother? is SO funny to me. like it’s not that she couldn’t be reasonable if she wanted to, but like, she knows that the Waynes are well off so it’s not something she actually needs to be concerned about, so she just goes hog wild. takes steph out to fancy dinners and makes steph order for them since cass ya know doesn’t really read the menus, and steph’s like ‘jesus christ this costs-” “don’t worry about it” “but cass-” and she just holds up one of bruce’s credit cards and steph’s still like “but you don’t even know the range-” “it is fine”

bruce does not have the heart to tell her to stop

C (heart-crushing):

i mean this is pretty much canon but especially now after death metal where she’s remembering, not just being told by a guy using weird alternate timeline technology, that she used to be an adopted member of the Wayne family... like that hurts so bad. To look at these people who have ya know been kind to her, Bruce has still been a father-like figure to her (i mean literally from the moment they met in New 52 canon during the flashback in Batman & Robin Eternal, where he’s telling her that she’s not a monster just because of what people forced her to do.... that she’s a hero... that hug.... dad behavior), and they do to some extent treat her as family... But to then really know, to feel and remember that she was actually adopted! She was a part of their family. To look at how she’s been calling herself Orphan while working with them this whole time... that’s so heartbreaking! I have cried about this idea so much! I want so badly a conversation between her and Bruce now where he offers to officially adopt her again, I need it so bad and if it doesn’t happen at some point in the next year or two I will be so distraught.

D (canon is a coward and won’t)

i want an in-depth exploration of cass’ relationship to her own gender. being raised without language and you know with so much of her life being independent (remember: CASS RAN AWAY AROUND THE WORLD WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING ANY SPOKEN LANGUAGE) and outside of an organized society impressing too much of gender expectations on her, i feel like the way she experiences it would be very unique! like sure she’s so far been fine with being assigned ‘girl’ (ya know that comes with batgirl, and how people just automatically treated her based on how she looks) but in terms of gender expression and like her actual relationship with ‘traditional femininity’ etc like... because of how she was raised I just think she’d have a really different perspective on it that could be cool to explore, and I think she’d fall outside of the binary after she really thinks about how she identifies.

tldr on that: she/they nb cass is what i’m getting at here

Could you write a fic in which George Weasley wants to invite his crush (a Hufflepuff girl) to the Yule Ball, but whenever he tries something gets in his way and he just can't find a way to ask her? He manages in the end tho

wI rewatched The Goblet of Fire because I needed to get in the setting for this one, lol 😂. You guys are great with requests, I love writing these scenarios.

Let me know what you guys think! I’m trying to get back into the swing of writing something other than lab reports, lol. This lowkey went in a 10 Things I Hate About You direction, but I’m okay with that

The excitement of the Triwizard Tournament filled the school along with the preparations for the prestigious Yule Ball. In the beginning, Fred and George weren’t too focused on finding a date, believing that the situation would present itself at a given time. However, as the Beauxbatons and Drumstrang students begun pairing up hours after the ball announcement was made, they began to get a little nervous.

“Get a move on or all the good ones will have gone”

George nervously drummed his fingers against the air of the couch, replaying his twin brother’s words in his head. The Weasley boy stared into the crackling fire of the fireplace, drowning out the sound of chattering students in the Gryffindor Common Room. Fred had managed to flawlessly ask Angelina Johnson to the ball after deciding he would ask her five minutes before entering the Great Hall.

“Oi, George!” Fred called from behind the couch, wondering what the devil was wrong with his usually energetic brother. Fred approached his brother, questioningly cocking his head to the side as his brother stared into the fire, “Blink twice if you hear me, Georgie” He joked, but there was no response.

George didn’t hear Fred calling him, he was too focused on finding a way to ask (Y/N) (L/N) to the Yule Ball. That is if someone else hadn’t asked her after George’s failed second attempt.

Fred grew tired of George’s daydreaming and resorted to subtle physical violence to gain his attention.

“I can try again after Potions or maybe try when she’s in the courtyard—” George’s internal monologue was cut off by Fred’s hand coming in contact with the back of his head, “Bloody hell!” George exclaimed, jumping up from his seat on the couch.

“Finally!” Fred cried out, “I’ve been tryin’ to get your attention for five minutes!” He stated firmly while crossing his arms, “What’s gotten with you?”

George faced is attacker rubbing the back of his head, trying to recall if he had heard his brother calling him.

“Sorry, Fred” George muttered, “This Yule Ball situation is driving me mad!” George admitting, slumping back down in his seat, “I’ve tried to ask (Y/N) twice now but something or someone always gets in the bloody way!” George declared tensely, rubbing his forehead in dismay as the painful memories of his failures played through his head.

His last attempt had occurred two days ago after each house had concluded their scheduled dance lesson. George always traveled to the kitchens, but it had become his favorite part of the day because he would always catch (Y/N) around the Hufflepuff dormitory.

On this particular day, (Y/N) returned from the scheduled dance lesson hoping to catch up on her assignments. She stretched her arms above her head as she walked, relieving the tension from the day’s lesson, her body relaxing after letting her arms fall to her side. (Y/N) was excited about the Christmas celebrations, especially the Yule Ball, but her upcoming exams had become her main priority.

(Y/N) approached the barrels near the Hufflepuff common entrance, but before tapping the combination of barrels, somebody had caught her attention.

“(Y/N)?” George called, burying his nerves as he approached the Hufflepuff girl, “How was Sprout’s lesson?” He asked jokingly, knowing Professor Sprout would be more lenient than Professor McGonagall.

(Y/N) lowered her arm, smiling as she noticed her close friend approaching her, “You know Sprout,” She started, “She began with how much she trusts us, gave us a quick lesson, then dismissed us” (Y/N) explained, sitting atop one of the unused barrels, “All the girls wanted a private lesson from Champion Diggory” She joked, knowing George would get a kick out of it.

“Really?” George laughed, leaning against the wall beside her, “But not you?” He asked, secretly hoping she wasn’t one of the many girls fawning over Cedric Diggory. (Y/N) shook her head in reply, a devious smile spreading across her face as she looked up at Fred, “No,” She started, her grin growing even larger, “He was asking me for a lesson.” She stated confidently before busting out into larger at George’s shocked expression.

“You’re bonkers” George laughed, playfully nudging her while she sat on the barrel, “But if Diggorys asking for lessons, you must be a pretty good teacher,” George questioned, pushing himself off the wall he rested on, “You think you could teach me too?” He asked, raising an eyebrow at his Hufflepuff friend.

(Y/N) tapped her finger against her chin, crossing her legs as George stepped in front of her, “Maybe, but what would be in it for me?” She asked, a sweet smile playing at her lips, but George could see the twinkle of deviousness in her eyes.

George stepped closer to (Y/N), his body almost towering over her as he approached. Mustering up all his courage, he opened his mouth to slyly answer her question, but before the words left his lips the corridor was filled with a loud “bang!”.

The Hufflepuff Quidditch team had been transporting their Quidditch equipment to their common room, but had dropped the case as they descended the stairs. The equipment case burst open, the restraints that held the balls back snapping against the stone flooring. In less than a second, the two bludgers and the Golden Snitch began bouncing off the walls of the dungeons.

Some students screamed as the rogue bludgers traveled down the corridor as others attempted to catch the loose equipment. One of the bludgers bounced off the kitchen door and rushed towards the Hufflepuff entrance. Unfortunately for George, the bludger did not hit the common room door, instead it came in full contact with the left side of George’s face.

The impact knocked George clear off his feet, launching him several meters from where he stood. (Y/N) screamed as the boy in front of her suddenly disappeared, quickly leaping from her barrel and heading to his side.

“Merlin’s beard, George!” (Y/N) exclaimed, kneeling down beside him as he attempted to sit up. George groaned, squeezing his eyes shut attempting to make sense of what had just happened, “Bloody hell…” He uttered, his hand holding his throbbing head.

Needless to say, George didn’t get to ask (Y/N) to attend the ball with him since Quidditch Captain Cedric Diggory instead he take George to Madam Pomfrey himself. Fred attempted to stifle his laughter after listening to his brother’s story, tears welling up in his eyes until he finally lost it.

George huffed angrily, “This isn’t funny, Fred!” George exclaimed, “Madam Pomfrey said I was lucky I didn’t have a concussion and not to mention that I made a complete fool of myself in front of (Y/N)!”

Fred wiped away his tears, grinning at George before pulling him off his seat, “If you want (Y/N) (L/N) to go with you, we’ll have to show out” Fred stated, dragging his brother to the boys’ dormitories.

***

(Y/N) sat on the fountain in the center of the Clock-tower Courtyard, her legs stretched out in front of her as she enjoyed one of the books her mother had packed in her trunk. As a half-blood, (Y/N) enjoyed the conveniences of the wizarding world as well as the simplicity of muggle devices.

One of her favorite devices happened to be the Sony Walkman which she would use to play the cassette tapes her family created for her. George first noticed the Walkman attached to her waist during their lunch period, he watched as she bobbed her head to the music as she devoured the food in front of her.

Since his father was the Head of Muggle Artifacts, George Weasley was accustomed to some muggle items but he was bewildered by the machine that allowed her to transport music wherever she went. Fred and George used her love for music to their advantage in order to prepare George’s Yule Ball proposal for (Y/N).

All of a sudden, Lee Jordan and Angelina Johnson rushed into the Courtyard, their eyes immediately landing on (Y/N) as they entered.

“(Y/N)!” Angelina exclaimed happily, “We’ve been looking all over for you!” She grinned, the two Gryffindors eyeing each other suspiciously. A grin spread across Lee Jordan’s face as he took a seat beside the Hufflepuff girl, “Diggory sent us to get you, said something about a Hufflepuff meeting” He stated, confident (Y/N) would fall for their carefully constructed lie.

(Y/N) raised an eyebrow at the two Gryffindors, it was unusual for Cedric to call everyone spontaneously, but she knew better than to question the current situation. Shutting her book, she threw away her empty lunch container and followed her friends to the Quidditch Pitch.

“Cedric wanted to meet here?” (Y/N) questioned as Lee and Angelina led her towards the field. Angelina flashed her another wide smile, “Yes! He said it was important for everyone to come, don’t worry”

(Y/N) noticed their strange behavior, “It’s just peculiar that he would ask everyone to the Quidditch Pitch at such short notice…” She mumbled, but the two seemed to brush her comment off with stifled laughter. Once at the pitch, Angelina and Lee had quickly excused themselves and ran off from her sight, leaving (Y/N) defeated at the center of the field.

Letting out a sigh, she scratched her head taking a look around the empty pitch, “Cedric?” She bellowed, searching for her other housemates, but it was obvious she was alone. (Y/N) began to feel a bit frustrated, her friends had left her alone in the field and her housemates were nowhere to be seen. Her mind began to wander to the many tasks she could complete if she was currently in her dormitory, but instead, she was awkwardly standing in the middle of an empty pitch.

Suddenly, a stream of red light flew above her exploding into smaller streams as the whiz-bangs detonated in the sky. (Y/N)’s eyes widened as multicolored streams of light covered the sky, detonating at various times until the sky above the pitch was covered with different sized explosions.

(Y/N) then noticed the flying formation of students dropping flower petals unto the pitch. The petals cascaded her and a smile spread across her face as the whiz-bangs created a large “W” on the sky, realizing who was really behind this gathering.

George Weasley emerged from the W in the sky, surfing on his broom as he pressed his wand against his neck, “(Y/N) (L/N)” George started, the Sonorus charm amplifying his voice, “You’re just too good to be true, can’t take my eyes off of you��”

(Y/N)’s hand flew over her mouth, her heart racing as George sang the recognizable words. He had begun singing the words to the song (Y/N) had shown him while they were in their third year together. The fact that he remembered it and was suddenly performing it for her made her blush, her heart racing as his voice resonated through the field.

As the W began to vanish, a hoard of students marched onto the field playing enchanted instruments. (Y/N)’s heart fluttered as she instantly recognized Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”. As the band picked up the music, George broom-surfed around the Quidditch Pitch, the sound of his singing filling the stadium.

“Oh, pretty baby, and if it’s quite alright, I need you, baby!” George boomed, his broom nearing the bottom of the field, “I need you, baby… to warm the lonely night, I love you, baby!” George had never performed in front of an “audience” before, but he put all his energy in this song because he knew how important it was to (Y/N) and he wanted to impress her, “trust in me when I say…!”

(Y/N) bounced up and down on the field as George circled around her, dancing to the music as he serenaded her. Fred had continued the stream of whiz-bangs as his twin brother sang, adding an extra oomph to the beat of the music.

“Oh, pretty baby! Don’t bring me down, I pray!” George exclaimed while jumping off his broom, landing a few meters in front of (Y/N), “Oh, pretty baby! Now that I’ve found you, stay!” George’s brown eyes locked with (Y/N)’s (E/C) ones as he sauntered over to her on the field, lowering his wand from his throat.

Tears welled up in (Y/N)’s eyes, an overwhelming wave of happiness washing over her as George approached her. His gaze never left hers, making sure to keep his tone steady so she did not miss any line he sang, “and let me love you…” George added, halting in front of her with a smile on his face. His hand reached for hers, his fingers lacing with her own and bringing her hand up to press a kiss against the back of it.

“Let me love you…” George finished, his voice softening as he removed his lips from the back of her hand, “And will you let me have the honor of taking you to the Yule Ball, (Y/N) (L/N)? George added, his other hand grabbing her free one.

Tears of joy streamed down (Y/N)’s face as she fiercely nodded her head in reply, “Yes, of course!” She exclaimed, throwing her arms around George’s taller frame and pulling him into a tight hug. George’s arms wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly against his body as more flower petals flew around them.

Looking up at the man in her arms, (Y/N) had a sudden burst of courage and placed her hands on George’s face, pulling him in for their first kiss. George’s eyes widened as his lips came in contact with her soft and supple ones, his eyes fluttering close as he gave in to their kiss. His hands gripped her waist tightly, returning her surprise kiss with pleasure.

Fred noticed the public display of affection between them and set off one final whiz-bang to conclude their performance. With a smile on his family, Fred released the heart-shaped whiz-bang, a stream of pink and red hurdling towards the sky detonating into a large, colorful heart above the pitch.

“Are you sure you weren’t meant to be in Gryffindor?” George asked, pulling away from their electrifying kiss. His joke earned a smile for the Hufflepuff girl, winking as she pressed her forehead against his.

“I’ll have you know, Weasley,” (Y/N) teased, “that you shouldn’t underestimate Hufflepuffs because we’re fearless” she stated proudly, pressing another kiss against his lips.

George smiled against their kiss, happily lifting her up the ground and spinning her. It seemed as if the third time really was the charm when it came to his Yule Ball date. Now, that he found the perfect date, George could focus on creating wonderful memories with (Y/N) at the ball.

• Oh come on, he was totally looking for John's room when he ran into Mary

• NO NOT THE PADDED ROOM

• You don't understand: I actually can't watch this scene. It freaks me out so much. It's so sad, and the acting is SO GOOD.

• "Pain. Heartbreak. Loss. Death.": I'm sorry, but isn't that everything Sherlock's been through with John almost?

• Magnussen: dude I ain't telling you who shot him

• "It's raining. It's pouring. Sherlock, is boring. I'm laughing. I'm crying. Sherlock, is dying": JESUS THIS SONG

• "Mrs Hudson will cry. And mummy and daddy will cry. And the woman will cry. And John will cry buckets and buckets. It's him I worry about the most. That wife..... John Watson is definitely in danger": THE FACT THAT THAT MAKES HIM COME BACK; I'm sorry but how can you deny Johnlock after that?? He literally COMES BACK FROM THE DEAD for John Watson. Also, note how he misses off Greg and Molly and Mycroft. He thinks they don't care but they do. They care so much, Sherlock.

• "Oh you're not getting better are you?"

• MARY STOP ACTING ALL FUCKING INNOCENT YOU FUCKING SHOT HIM

• "I'm buying a cottage": I mean why not

• The fact that they're fine with each other after insulting each other XD

• I maintain that Janine is Moriarty's secret sister

• "I have an interview with The One Show and I haven't made it up yet"

• "I know what kind of man you are. We could have been friends": AGAIN she totally knows he's gay

• The fact he's self-punishing by turning the morphine down MY BABY

• The fact Greg just wants a video XD: I still want a Special Features on one of the DVDs of "videos from Greg Lestrade's phone"

• Of COURSE Sherlock's broken out, what else were you expecting John?

• Mycroft's little hand gestures like "off you go peasant": we know you love Greg really Myc

• "...stalked him one night" "foLLOWED"

• YOU, JOHN. HE'S PROTECTING YOU YOU DIPSHIT

• The fact Sherlock went back to Baker Street, BLEEDING INTERNALLY, to put John's chair back <3<3<3

• "A façade. Remind you of anyone?"

• Of course you can't Sherlock XD

• The fact he won the house in a card game with a cannibal XD

• I love this scene. Everything just suddenly makes sense. Everything she's said suddenly has a different meaning

• "You were very slow": BECAUSE HE WAS IGNORING THE WARNING SIGNS SO HE DIDN'T WANT TO UPSET JOHN

• "Even Scotland Yard can get somewhere with that"

• I feel like Sherlock had a little bit of a panic when she pulled the gun out, because he KNOWS that John is sitting there and he can't lose John Watson

• She loves John but he loves John too.... too much man, too much

• She can barely turn: the fact she knows that she may have just lost John forever

• YAAAAS WE'RE AT THE HOLMES' GUYS

• "How is it only 2 o'clock, I am in agony"

• "Is this your laptop, Mycie?" "Upon which depends the security of the free world, yes, and you've got potatoes on it"

• "Am I happy, I haven't noticed?" *gets hit with cracker*

• MRS HOLMES WE STAN A QUEEN

• "Someone's put a bullet in my boy and if I ever find out who I will turn absolutely monstrous": *takes tea to said shooter*

• When the dad is the only sane one XD

• I think even Sherlock's dad can see how much his son is in love with John

• I'm sorry but the entirety of the first bit at the Holmes': I STAN IT GUYS

• "What exactly is the point of you!?"

• "What's going on" "Bloody good question": me in physics

• Jesus Mrs Hudson is right Sherlock does look bloody awful

• "...that's me by the way, hello": HE'S SO PROUD AND IT'S SO SWEET

• "IT WAS MY HUSBAND'S CARTEL, I was just typing"

• The fact he tells him to be calm: Sherlock KNOWS that he needs to calm John down to get this sorted out

• Mary, stop being sarcy with him he's tryna sort it out

• "Because you won't love me when you've finished, and I don't want to see that happen": I mean she's not my favourite but I still feel so sorry for her

• "Look at you two: you should've got married": Sherlock: OH BABY NOT MY GAY ASS

• See, Sherlock SAYS that the reason Mary didn't kill him was because John would be part of the murder investigation, but I think it's because she's already seen what Sherlock's death would do to John: she's seen him crying at the grave, seen him drunk and screaming for Sherlock to come back, seen him unable to even walk past St Barts without seeing Sherlock hitting the ground over and over and over again, and she knows she can't do that to him again

• Paramedics: yo we here

• "She shot you" "ehhhhh mixed messages"

• "The problems are your past are your business. The problems of your future are my privilege": GET YOURSELF A MAN LIKE JOHN WATSON

• "You can mow the sodding lawn from now on": the fact John uses his wife's secret identity to get out of chores is such a mood XD

• When your mother catches you smoking: Mycroft: nope wasn't me Sherlock: *immediately blames his brother*

• "Your loss would break my heart" "what the HELL am I supposed to say to that": brotherly feeeeeeeeeeeels

• "Go and have some more": AWWW YOU LOVE HIM REALLY

• Dr Watson voice is baaaack

• Awwww at least he checks they're all still breathing XD

• "You can imagine the Christmas dinners".... GUYS THE OMENS CAME TRUE

• I love the idea that Sherlock just waltzed into Angelo's like "yo can I have a table", and Angelo DIDN'T EVEN QUESTION what he was wearing or the fact he was hooked up to morphine, just said "yoooo, I got your table sorted" and brought him food XD

• The constant flashbacks in this episode are so effective, cos they really bloody fit in

• "My brother": *literally delivers a drugged Mycroft all wrapped up with a little bow on top* "WELL I DIDN'T LIE"

• "Oh yeah we could be imprisoned for high treason btw": Sherlock stop you idiot

• "But it's Christmas!"

• "WHY WOULD I BRING MY GUN!?!!?!?!" "Coat pocket?" "YES"

• "But look how you care about John Watson": even MAGNUSSEN knows guys

• Awwwww Mycroft's pressure point is Sherlock, that's kinda sweet

• You've gotta admit Magnussen's logic is pretty sound

• "I enjoy it": yeah but you're a sadistic maniac, mate, you don't enjoy normal things

• He must have half the fucking Eden Project in his house XD

• Ooooo THE VAULTS ARE A MIND PALACE: big reveaaaaaaaaaal

• Sherlock's little look down: it's as if he's chastising himself, telling himself he should have know

• "I don't understand" "You should put that on a t-shirt": JOHN WATSON T-SHIRT SAGA #2, PART 1

• "Sherlock do we have a plan?" *silence*

• "I still don't understand" "And there's the back of the t-shirt": JOHN WATSON T-SHIRT SAGA #2, PART 2

• When Magnussen makes John let him flick his face: Sherlock can't even WATCH. He's just standing there, staring at the floor, still questioning why he didn't see it

• I mean I'm sorry but the murderous little glint in Sherlock's eyes when Magnussen is flicking John: he knows there's nothing he can do, but then he also knows what he's about to do. And he knows that John is going to hate it, but it's the only way to keep Mary safe

• THE LOVING LOOK AT JOHN JESUS CHRIST I CAN'T

• "MERRY CHRISTMAS" *bang*: JESUS SHERLOCK NO

• Mycroft sounds so panicked, like "no please don't shoot him"

• "Tell her she's safe now": THEN. That was the moment John realised. The moment he realised who he was really in love with

• All Mycroft can see is his crying, upset and scared little brother AND I CAN'T

• "You know what happened to the other one": OOOOOOO

• "There is no prison where we can incarcerate Sherlock without him causing a riot on a daily basis": dis be true guys

• SHERLOCK MAKES MARY LOOK AFTER JOHN I CAAAAAAN'T

• The fact that all acceptingly walk away, like they know what Sherlock is gonna try to do

• "The game is never over, John. There are just new players": SHERL STOP

• "6 months, my brother estimates. He's never wrong": he KNOWS he's gonna die

• The fact he can't even tell John just shows something, doesn't it

• "John there's something I need to say. Something I've always meant to say but never have. Since it's unlikely that we'll ever meet again, I might as well say it now": we all wanted it. We all wanted him to say it. Even JOHN had the hopeful little look in his eyes....

• "Sherlock is actually a girl's name": BUT HE CHICKENS OUT AT THE LAST SECOND. You can just see the disappointment and upset in his face, even on the plane, knowing that he may not see John again and John still doesn't know

• "Did you miss me?": MORIARTY YES WE STAN A QUEEN

• "You're needed": the lil panic cos he knows his OD isn't gonna work

• "Who needs me" "....England": yeah, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are screwed XD

Anastasia - October 14, 2017 Matinee

I just got back from Anastasia and I’m still internally screaming despite it ending like 4 hours ago. here’s my detailed explanation description. (and I mean very, VERY detailed. a lot of it is under a cut bc I get into super spoilery territory)

Zach was on as Dimitry, and Ian and Kristen were on for Zach and Molly respectively. ZACH. DIMITRY.

before anyone asks, I didn’t record an audio. I got so caught up in the moment I forgot lol whoops.

honest to god, even before the curtain went up I was crying when I heard the opening notes of the Prologue.

NICOLE IS SO ADORABLE

during Last Dance Of The Romanovs, the suitor dancing with Kristen didn't lift her properly and right after they looked at each other and he was like "whoops"

the death of the Romanovs actually scared me like they made it terrifying with the window shattering effects and the red EVERYTHING

Lily can actually be seen comforting the Dowager Empress after Last Dance Of The Romanovs

yes, I internally screamed when Ramin came on. don't judge me.

Gleb so confidently says his opening Leningrad monologue, then Dimitry just comes in and roasts the hell out of him

when Dimitry says "Hail our brave new land", he's mockingly waving his arms around while right behind him Gleb is doing the exact same thing and honestly same.

right after that, Gleb like goes up to Dimitry and he legit RUNS OFF STAGE IN FEAR OMFG

during the part where everyone is like saying something good about Leningrad then saying something snarky, Gleb’s face is like "see, great place waIT WHAT"

after singing his verse in A Rumor In St Petersburg, Vlad immediately hits Dimtry with his hat

everyone's so happy during Rumor, but at the end right before the final shhhh, Gleb just gets on the podium and everyone just does the shhhhhh in fear

before moving on, I would like to mention that I love Kristen Smith Davis, Sissy Bell and Shina Ann Morris.

Dimitry is HIDING BEHIND A COUCH WHEN ANYA COMES INTO THE THEATER IM

Vlad's also hiding and it scares Anya when he comes out

now’s a good time to mention that when a song is starting, the projection usually gets like a subtle change in hue and it’s really cool

Gleb does this like intimidating version of the chin thing (tm) that basically LIFTS one of the fake actresses, then he like lightly blows on one of them and they all run away

Anya throws/hits with a book Dimity and Vlad at least 3 times in Learn To Do It

When Vlad makes them dance, at first Dimitry takes these GIANT UNGRACEFUL STEPS AND ITS HILARIOUS

the background changed from winter to spring once it seems that Anya's finally confident in her ability

Gleb's like shouting in his office until he turns and sees who Anya is and his voice just softens in like two seconds

you can tell that even when Gleb is trying to be funny and personable, he's still a stiff military man

THE CHIN THING (TM) WAS SHORTER THAN PROMISED SMH RAMIN

there's one part during the last verse where Anya harmonizes with Gleb, but it's so subtle that you probably can't tell from a recording

when Gleb says “it’s the silence after I remember most”, not only is it dead silent, there’s also the sound of wind in the background

James Pierce quickly became one of my favorite ensemble members just from how he acts drunk before My Petersburg

Dimitry gets like a potato or something from the street rats' fire and gives it to Anya before My Petersburg

ANYA SAVES DIMITRY AT ONE POINT DURING THE FIGHT SCENE

when Zach was climbing the bench for My Petersburg while the turntable was spinning, you could tell he was having a little bit of trouble and it was adorable

(he also had trouble taking the second can of beans out of his bag during Rumor btw)

also ZACH KILLED IT IN MY PETERSBURG

THE LIGHTING DESIGN IN ONCE UPON A DECEMBER GIVES ME LIFE

they project the phantom images of the Romanovs dancing on the walls of the side of the theater. you probably can't see it from the orchestra seats tho

Dimitry lifts Anya A LOT

I knew from the recording that a lot of the actors were fantastic singers, but live, so many of them are STELLAR. Christy, Ramin, and Constantine in particular imo are so much better live.

btw Stay I Pray You gave me chills. that song really lets the ensemble shine. literally. half the song, Christy, John and Zach were just standing there not singing while the ensemble KILLED IT.

Anya and Dimitry leave the train compartment by the time Vlad starts singing We'll Go From There, so he’s basically monologuing the entire time

after Vlad says "I'll bow as if I'm still a frisky young pup" HIS BACK CRACKS

when Dimitry's doing that thing where he's half standing on a bench, half leaning on the train, the ladies on the bench just look at him as if he's crazy the entire time

the way that them jumping off the train transitions into Traveling Sequence was SO COOL

THE STAGING FOR STILL WAS SO

ITS PROBABLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS PRODUCTION WISE DESPITE HOW SIMPLE IT WAS

so like Gleb's standing off to the side from Traveling Sequence and he starts singing and it's all dark and stuff

around when he reaches "a son becomes a man at his father's knee", a soldier gives him his jacket. then around "I am nothing but a man with nothing but his orders to fulfill", another soldier gives him his train tickets. but then around "until your heart replies", another one gives him a gun.

at the end of it, there's like 4 vague shadowy soldier figures behind him, and he turns around and all of them salute before the lights fade.

Journey To The Past gave me chills. that's all I'm saying.

I never liked Paris Holds The Key that much, but the freaking choreography CERTAINLY made up for it. hands down my favorite choreo the entire show

before Dimitry's lil solo in Paris Holds The Key, it looks like he's about to ask Anya to dance, but someone else grabs her hand before he can. I’m nope

the projection and lighting design makes it look like the end of Paris takes place on the top of the Eiffel Tower and I am so down with that

again, Christy is FANTASTIC live

honestly, Dowager Empress sounds so broken during Close The Door and I am so not ok

Little Anastasia appears behind the windows during Close The Door and I am so not ok

at the end of the number, the Dowager Empress makes a picture she has of Anastasia face down on the table and I AM SO NOT OK

when the doorman of The Neva Club tells Gleb where to get food HE JUST LOOKS SO OFFENDED LIKE “TF WHO DO YOU THINK I AM”

the choreography of Land Of Yesterday is some goOD STUFF M8

theres a good 5 seconds Lily spends shooing Count Leopold away while she’s dancing

after the instrumental break, everyone except Lily is passed out and the lighting makes it look like morning, which is why she stomps her foot and says “the night’s young”

Vlad just sneaks up and is awkwardly facing outwards in the circle dance thing at the end of Land Of Yesterday

honestly The Countess and The Common Man is a blessing and it’s hilarious

right after they say “when you sent me our sign”, they show what it was (it’s like a super subtle hand gesture). they do it at least 2 more times in the show.

during the instrumental break, they’re both just dancing like crazy and the panting at the end involves them stretching, having cracked backs, and Vlad timing his pulse

the kiss after “until you’re kissed” is SO LONG and they do weird stuff during it, I’m just,,,, nope,,,,,

they kiss like 4 more times before Land Of Yesterday Reprise btw

Gleb watches their last kiss and his face just says “what the hell are you people doing”

also freaKIN LAND OF YESTERDAY REPRISE MAN. RAMIN IS SCARY GOOD AT THIS ROLE.

A Nightmare is actually so chilling like I can’t

it does the same thing with the lighting as Once Upon A December where Anya’s the only one properly lit and everyone else looks like ghosts but just everyone being crowded around Anya instead of gracefully dancing around her seriously sets the tone

ASKDJFLGKD IN A CROWD OF THOUSANDS B Y E

THE BLOCKING IS SO SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE

ANYA LEANS IN ON DIMITRY WHEN SHE STARTS SINGING

I SWEAR THEY GET THIS FREAKIN CLOSE TO KISSING AT THE END BEFORE DIMITRY DOES THE “YOUR HIGHNESS” THING AND I AM DEFINITELY NOT OK

Vlad’s being alone during Meant To Be makes it super powerful

also, HELLO QUARTET AT THE BALLET

THE WAY THAT EACH OF THEM STAND UP AND FACE THE CROWD WHILE SINGING MADE IT REALLY FEEL LIKE WE WERE SEEING INTO THEIR THOUGHTS

Gleb like almost pulls out his gun like 3 times I stg

Gleb is also the only person who doesn’t applaud at the end of the ballet. he’s also the only guy not wearing a tux at the ballet. (he basically wears the same outfit the entirety of Act 2 until the Finale) they really make it very clear how out of place he is in Paris.

also the ballet itself was AMAZING. Lyrica, Kyle and James were hella good

I swear I was as stressed out as Dimitry was during Everything To Win and I knew what was gonna happen

right before Once Upon A December reprise, there’s the scene where the Dowager Empress comes into Vlad, Dimitry and Anya’s dressing room and like???? it had some gold comedic timing but was also super serious????? how???????

also Dimitry watching Anya and the Dowager Empress being reunited just breaks my heart??????????

that line in The Press Conference where the guy’s like “we do exclusive interviews”, he legit pays off Vlad to start talking and they like talk off to the side until Lily gets everyone’s attention

there’s a phone on either side of the stage during that scene and the sopranos who do that harmony at “the Princess Anastasia” use them almost as microphones and I’m in love?????

GET. ROASTED. COUNT. LEOPOLD.

during Everything To Win Reprise, Gleb is very clearly closing all the doors behind Anya but like Anya never notices until she turns around

also, when she turns around, it does the song transition as perfectly as it happens in the soundtrack and it’s gr9

idk if it was just this performance, but Gleb sounded a lot more somber and conflicted during the dialogue of Still/The Neva Flows Reprise, but then when the singing starts again, he was honestly terrifying, like Anya was legit backing into a corner

this was something I noticed from the bootlegs, but I’m pretty sure no matter what angle you view it from, Young Anastasia is blocked by the archway during Still/The Neva Flows Reprise while you can very clearly see the rest of the Romanovs. idk I just always found that to be an interesting choice

at the end of Still/The Neva Flows Reprise, GLEB ALMOST PULLS THE TRIGGER ON HIMSELF AND DEAR LORD GLEB THAT GOT DARK FAST

listen,,, every time Dimitry has lifted Anya before,,,,,, she like let out a little squeal of surprise,,, except after they kiss,,,,,,,,,, she’s just staring into his eyes the entire time,,,,,,,,,,,, can y’all believe they invented love,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the Finale was just beautiful ok

especially when the singing starts again and then the Romanovs come on stage around Anya and Dimitry

all around this show was just beautiful and amazing and I cried multiple times

also Zach totally got the loudest applause (I’m pretty sure it was louder than Christy’s tbh) and yes I live for understudy/ensemble appreciation

BONUS ROUND: STAGE DOOR AFTER

Kevin was actually the first person to leave, and a few people recognized him but he just waved and left

NICOLE IS SO SMALL AND ADORABLE

apparently Christy just restocked the candy. time to put Creepy Anya above the candy box again.

John was such a nice dude

Caroline was so bubbly and happy the entire time I love her

BUT CHRISTY FREAKIN ALTOMARE

she took the time to talk to any fan who had something to say to her

like she spent like 5 minutes talking to the people next to me since they apparently all went to the high school she graduated from

and when I talked to her, I told her about how much the soundtrack and Royal Misfits helps me get through the really rough days and and she game me a hug and I’m

not

also Zach came out and everyone was like “DUDE YOU WERE AWESOME AS DIMITRY” and tbh big mood

anyways. thats it from me about Anastasia. except probably not. catch me two weeks later just randomly posting something I loved about the show because it was r e a l l y f r e a k i n g o o d.

#anastasia #anastasia the musical #anastasia broadway #christy altomare #zach adkins #John Bolton #ramin karimloo #caroline o'connor #mary beth peil #grand duchess anastasia nikolaevna romanov #dimitry #vlad popov #gleb vaganov #lily malevsky-malevich #dowager empress #meet the royal mess #hey i made this post wow #btw the large part is broken up so it's easier to read bc no one liked giant walls of text

essay on why katsuki is a very generic character and is just as overrated as the anime itself

hello people today i wrote an essay on why ya boi pork katsuki is only a very generic and mary sue character and isn’t reall that Big Of A Deal as so many people insisted. im doing a comparison of him and 4 other sports anime protags, which is a fucking disgrace bc yo/i isn’t even a sports anime. but since so many people think it is i might as well cater to their taste.

now before you send me hate and ask me why dont i spend my time elsewhere or that i dont have a life, yes, i want to spend my time hating on this anime, and second, i really do not have a life. if i had to bear with the y/oi fandom for 4 fucking months, you can deal with a small meta which you dont even have to read if you dont click ‘keep reading’

i wont go far into defining what exactly is a sports anime but here is a link for you to check it out yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sports_anime_and_manga. this page contains almost every sports anime/manga.

imo sports anime/manga tend to focus 50/50 on the actual sport and character development. while they spend a lot of time explaining/portraying certain tactics and skills, or having characters monologue through a montage, they often focus on one character at a time (at most two) when giving character development, and such development is often done through realisation during a game/competition/practice. apart from these, sports anime/manga is also about teamwork and friendship. the ultimate goal is often set to be the ‘national champion’ and the whole team works together towards this dream. either they do achieve the goal or not varies in different anime/manga.

so, lets go back to our beloved katsuki shall we. since y'all like to think that yoi is a ‘serious ice-skating anime’ *coughs* *false advertisement*, let’s do a comparison between him, and the other sports anime/manga characters from actual sports anime/manga.

I have chosen a few popular/well-known characters from recent sports anime/manga

Hinata Shouyou from Haikyuu

Onoda Sakamichi from Yowapeda

Fujida Tatara from Ballroom e Youkosou

Sawamura Eijun from Diamond no Ace

And I’m going to do a compare and contrast by listing out their

personality

ability and skills

supporters (people who support him throughout the story)

hardships

Hinata Shouyou

personality: ray of sunshine, positive, cheerful, very determined, wants to play volleyball more than anything else, and doing so also gives him the utmost joy. may be a bit of a nuisance sometimes but the goods of this child still weighs out all the bads.

ability and skills: starts off as a 60% rookie, grows up as a strong player and a valuable member of the team. again, he achieved this by being determined. has stamina through extensive training, can jump very high.

supporters: his family, his middle school friends, and now his teammates

hardships: being at disadvantage because he is too short, being teased because of it, having doubts about himself and whether or not he can really be the next chiisana kyojin or not. losing his first competition (cries forever) (now i haven’t read the manga in a while or watched the third season of the anime so i don't want to add inaccurate details)

2. Onoda Sakamichi

personality: easily intimidated, has very low self-confidence and is very shy so he doesn’t have friends in middle school at all. can talk for hours about his favourite anime/character, very loyal to friends and is also helpful to others. genuinely enjoys being in a road racing team after mastering it.

ability and skills: again, starts off as a 100% rookie, grows up to be the national champion (sheds a tear). wins through sheer determination and the will to chase after others.

supporters: his mother, his two best friends in high school, his rival, and his senpais (especially Makishima, who is a great inspiration and role model to him)

hardships: having no friends before high school, zero self confidence, his mother has shown little knowledge in what he’s actually doing (tho she is still very supportive), nearly losing his first race because his bike broke down, chasing a hundred people in a race because he fell, and now holding the weigh of being a national champion and meeting people’s expectations and his own expectations.

3. Fujida Tatara

personality: very socially awkward, doesn’t really know how to express himself and gets teased/bullied because of it. starts dancing by chance and has no former interest/experience in it but learns to enjoy it and wants to master it.

ability and skills: starts of as a 100% rookie and now he is picking up skills here and there and has great potential in winning future competitions.

supporters: his teachers, his dance partners and the friends he met at the dance studio

hardships: still not yet very skilful in dancing and there is still a lot for him to learn. wants to ace every competition but at the same time knows it is impossible. had a big fight with his current dance partner and might cause collaborative problems with her.

4. Sawamura Eijun

personality: OVERHYPED all the time, shouts very loud, sometimes very annoying but is tolerated by his friends and teammates. at the same cares and encourages people all the time, very friendly, isn’t afraid to speak up, recognises rivals’ strengths and works hard to surpass them

ability and skills: he is scouted into a very good baseball team and has great skills and more potential yet to be discovered. trains hard, runs hard, and shouts a lot too.

supporters: his family, his childhood friends from his hometown, his teammates, and himself.

hardships: fear of being replaced mid-game, not being competitive enough in such a strong team, being very far away from home, very frustrated to why he can’t control the ball as he wish, fights with his catcher/captain a couple of times.

Now we look at katsuki

personality: very anxious all the time when he is a professional sportsman and should have a great deal of experience when dealing with defeat, low self-confidence, whiney, but sometimes is also weirdly positive and upbeat and non-whiney (inconsistent characterisation which is read as ‘unreliable narrator’ by the fandom)

ability and skills: is literally an international-level skater but somehow is not good at his job (?) idk because he is an ~unreliable narrator~ and has a lot of ~depth~

supporters: his family and friends back home (whose support is often neglected), and ofc, victor-senpai uwuwuwuwuwu

hardships: self-inflicted drama and inferiority complex and ‘omg what should i do victor-senpai will leave my ass if i dont win ;;;;;;;;;’

From this we can see

katsuki is a very generic character personality wise, and his personality isn't even charming. it’s just fucking annoying.

HIS JOB IS BEING A SKATER LITERALLY LIKE???? JUST HOW UNPROFESSIONAL CAN YOU BE WHINING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF Y O U R JO B

he only values support from victor-senpai because his family and friends doesn't mean shit to him. they exist to run the onsen hotel where victor-senpai can flash him in front of everybody.

he hardly went through any real hardships as far as i can see. like i get that at first he was unfit to skate but then he magically can again and then everything was just great for him. everyone loves him (for some reason mmm do i sense a mary sue here) and he got noticed by victor-senpai through pole dancing and he hardly even practiced bc he spent all his time dating victor-senpai and won silver. lmao.

Do u have any christophe/mystery man headcanons youd like to share? Im super thirsty for them ngl and im sad theyre not more popular among the fandom so youre like my fav yoi artist for providing me any christophe/mystery man content tbh...

Hello, anon! Hmm I will try my best to list them down! Also, one of my favorite things is seeing JP twitter calling boyfriend “karepi” which is derived for the JP term for boyfriend (kareshi).

(Origin of “karepi”)

That wasn’t rly a headcanon, but it’s nice to repeat since that’s what I call him now too hahaha! Anyway, here are some headcanons :D

Chris and Karepi met when they were kids. Christophe had taken a liking to figure skating at a young age. (He has mentioned he lives for the ice.) So I believe coach had to babysit his nephew while facilitating training!

Karepi is 3 yrs older than Chris, and 1 yr older than Victor

Karepi is of Romansh descent, and can speak fluent French and conversational Italian because of the nature of his family’s business. (Switzerland has 4 official languages: French, Italian, German, Romansh.)

Karepi lives in the area of Switzerland near France (Geneva-ish?) while Chris lives and trains in high altitude (maybe Davos?) sadly I still can’t find where it is;;; but I might be correct?

Giacometti is an Italian surname, so Chris’s family was probably originally from the area of Switzerland near Italy

To note, Switzerland is surrounded by 5 countries: France, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein and that’s why they have 4 official languages lol. But in canon, Victor speaks to Chris in French. “Chris! Allez!” So I also think Chris speaks French and some Italian. (Also, I just assume everyone has at least some basic English down and that’s how they all talk with each other hahaha)

They live in opposite sides of the country so they barely see each other during their childhood. Karepi’s family is actually very businessy so they move around a lot so he wants a change of pace and attends a boarding school for high school where Chris studies! (maybe a headcanon school would be nice also??? haha)

They eventually spend more time together in high school

Karepi goes to Chris’s training sessions with Coach Josef and they always go home together!

This is the time when Chris finally debuts in the senior division where Victor wins GPF!

Chris talks about Victor a lot because Victor is a legend a prodigy and he’s also rly prettyyyy

So yeah I guess Chris does have a little crush on Victor

(who doesn’t?)

It actually annoys Karepi sometimes because all Chris talks about is Victor Victor Victoooor

Karepi grew his hair out “just to try” but it was actually because Victor has long hair lmao

Karepi’s jealousy was what made him realize his feelings for Chris!

Karepi confessed to Chris after Chris’s first podium win (because Chris and Victor were flirting lmao he can’t take it)

Karepi asked Chris to be his boyfriend on his graduation (because he’ll be moving to a university either far from the rink or out of Switzerland)

Chris loved him since the beginning but was anxious because of Karepi’s family background and business (internal queer socio-economic monologue)

“Victor is just a crush.” “Okay.” “You don’t sound convinced.” “It doesn’t matter.” “He’s really pretty, you know.” “I know.” “Is that why you grew out your hair?” “Hurry up or you’ll be late for training!”

Chris is an innocent shota trope deep inside

But Chris has Mature Eros down to a tee because he discovered Mature Eros from Karepi hehehehe

Actually, I believe Karepi taught Chris pole dancing!!!

Karepi was probably too busy with his studies and work so he’s not very athletic, so when he hangs out with Chris he gets tired easily and he decides to pick up pole dance as sport (it was unique and it fit his schedule by coincidence)

No one rly knew he took the classes until he brought up with coach that maybe Chris needed an image change for the next season from innocent shota boy to irresistable sexy beast

So they all talk about it and Chris thinks about the image change

And he drops by a gym on the way home and sees a pole dance session going on and he was so impressed

Turns out Karepi was the one performing haha so he tells coach about it and so they take pole lessons together!!!

I haven’t thought about their first time having sex but this would be the perfect time for them to do it

Chris took French/linguistics as a major in college

Karepi is all sorts haha a combination of Marketing, Business Administration, Economics, etc. because he will inherit the family business

Karepi is currently taking his MBA (and I believe he had exams and that was why he was never seen early on in the series)

Hmm, so far that’s it for my own headcanons! If you’re on twitter and you wanna see more Chris-related stuff, here are the people I follow! If you can read Japanese then you’re probably in for a wild ride :))

So there! That’s a lot of writing HAHA I wanted this to be brief but no :))) Also, fun fact!!! One of the stereotypes for Swiss people is that they’re always early for meetings/appointments (Maybe that’s why he always comes early wahahaha) and it was probably derived from their clock/watch making indistry :D

And this is why I ship Chris and his boyfriend so much because I have so many ideaaas even tho we don’t rly know who he is :)) I actually want to write more fic for them, but I lack Suisse research haha. Maybe in due time!
