I’m pretty new to kaeya ships and I want to know how Kaebedo appeals to you!! /This isn't a sarcastic question I promise 😭

So far, the only ship I get is Rosakae because haha bi couple/girl that says bruhh x guy that says hiii

Do you have any recommended kaebedo fanfics? Thank you <33

i think the biggest appeal of kaebedo to me is the parallels between them. both are from khaenri'ah and were abandoned by a parent figure with an unclear mission on their shoulders and ended up finding a home in a place they fear they will have to betray one day. even without a romantic lens there is SO much potential here!!! they must know of each other's secret to some degree, there's no way they don't. they could form such a deep connection based on these shared origins. let them bond hoyoverse!!!!

its insane to me that kaeya and albedo have never exchanged more than five words in game when theres so much material to work with here.. especially because they DO know each other! the game tells us that! kaeya has an "about albedo" voiceline (Albedo, eh? Calm, collected, and incredibly talented. He's the type everybody likes, some even more so than others. What, you into him as well?), albedo doesnt have an "about kaeya" voiceline but he does mention him in one of his "more about albedo" ones (The time required to sketch portraits closely correlates with one's mood. I could spend half a day sketching Huffman, while I might only need three strokes of the pencil to sketch Kaeya — one for the face, one for the eyepatch string... and one for the eyepatch.) and, actually, pairing that with this

from a past event i think we can say it's implied that albedo draws kaeya fairly often. kaeya seems to babysit klee frequently, which is all the more chance for them to get to know each other more..... they live in the same region and have so many themes in common LET THEM TALK! LET THEM TALK!! kaebedo as a ship is kind of built from the ground up with just minimal canon content and our wild imaginations but hey. the potential is right there. also i think they look cute together. anyway, fanfic recs, you say? i have some<3

Calcium, Carbonate, and Other Things That Run Bone-Deep by Princeliest

Albedo comes knocking at Kaeya's office door, and asks Kaeya to kill him. All in all, it's the worst falling-in-love experience that Kaeya has ever had. (Albedo fears a lot of things. He's never reached out for help with any of them, but he's also never had anyone see him and reach out first.)

this is genuinely one of the best fics ive ever read in my life it's SO good. i kept rotating it inside my mind for days afterwards. and the kaebedo dynamic here is one of my favorite renditions of it too!!!!! like they cannot live through a normal love story it has to be weird when they are both involved. and this fic executes the brand of weirdness i expect from kaebedo perfectly. the characterization for both of them was really good. warning for some body horror but if you're okay with that it's part of the charm in this fic i really enjoyed reading those parts

this wordless dance, in the night by untunedviola

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Kaeya mutters into Albedo’s chest. Albedo pulls him closer. Gentle fingers thread through his hair. “You don’t have to.” He sighs. “I know.” Kaeya’s relationship with his mother tongue, his family, and Albedo develops in fits in starts.

i just reread this while searching through recs on my bookmarks and!!!!!!!!! this is THE kaebedo relationship study EVER. it's so good. its more focused on kaeya since it's from his point of view but albedo is a central crucial part of it. it explores their connection to khaenri'ah and the connection they could have with each other because of it SO well it's really amazing! the angst is delightful i love this one.

and you should check out this author's other works!! seriously the way they write kaebedo is like the best ever. i havent read all of them but the ones i have read were immediate favorites. untunedviola if youre out there

The Curious Investigation on the Investigation Captain by evesbeve

“This is not an invitation to spoil me,” Albedo says through a bite, a hand over his mouth. “As you have with Klee.” “I have no idea what you are talking about," Kaeya laughs. “Although… would it really be that bad, if I wanted to take care of you?” (Or: When Sucrose mentions that she's been worried about Albedo and his constant cases of zoning out, Kaeya takes it upon himself to investigate the situation.)

a lighter, fluffier work to make up for the angst of the previous recs. so sweet youll get cavities honestly. works to read while giggling about how much you love these silly little characters. bonus ragbros and other mond characters. really nice read!!!!

i wish i had more recs but i really dont. i need to read more about them honestly.

im deeply sorry for taking like three months to answer!! many such cases im afraid. i hope my kaebedo propaganda has worked on you or anyone else reading this

#WHEW THIS TOOK A WHILE TO TYPE OUT #askpilled #kaebedo #kaeya #kaeya alberich #albedo #albedo kreideprinz #kaeyaposting #also lmao rosakae as girl who says bruh and guy who says hiii is so real #fic recs

if i had the motivation to write, i have sooo many ideas for writing abt wyllstarion. there are some v good fics for them out there, but i kind of want more that are wyll-centric. bc i think astarion would also be good for wyll.

like, theres the whole monstrous transformation thing. astarion has had 200 years to adjust to being a vampire spawn, while wyll has had days/weeks of being a devil. and astarion can be very kind to a tav/durge who goes through similar things to him, and i think he'd also be that way toward wyll.

and there are also the parallels btwn mizora and cazador, but wyll refuses to see it. hes sympathetic toward astarion bc of how cazador coerced him into being a vampire spawn, but when its compared to what mizora did to him, wyll rejects it and says it was his choice and he knew what he was doing. i think some rlly interesting conversations could come up w/ that. it could go several different ways, and theyre all juicy.

i just think theres a lot of potential for bonding, and tension btwn the two, and it would be happening at the same time. bc they have similarities (cazador, mizora, the "ive prayed to every god, no one answered," and "the only thing i've ever gotten from a god is a cold shoulder"), but they also have massive differences in their world views that would rlly clash and cause fun conflicts btwn them that they could both grow from.

#wyllstarion #this doesnt even have to be explicitly in a romantic context #but it would be fun if it was #anyway the first paragraph isnt necessarily a criticism of the wyllstarion fandom #the game hasnt been out for long #and there arent many fics in general #so its fine that there are gaps

so uh sorry in advance if this question is annoying or if you've already been asked it before but. I haven't read the GGY book yet, I know what happens in it for the most part and I plan to read the pizzaplex books in order, but as someone who hasn't read it yet.. What exactly is it you see in shipping gregory and tony? no hate, just a genuine question on what about it is appealing, I don't really get it but I wanna understand it. is it something about the way it's written in the books or just the dynamic in general?

my genuine answer is the plot and story that could come from them. since its implied tony didnt know the real Gregory during their friendship and that ggy attacks him at the end of ggy I think theres so much story potential if he survives and like. as a mystery solver actually frees Gregory after realizing what's going on

I dont actually ship Gregory and tony from the strictly canon ggy book sense but I think that post ggy, tony and Gregory bonding over what they went through with ggy (in a scenario where he frees greg) and tony getting to know the REAL Gregory is just really interesting. and in my case I think beckory/romance could eventually come from that :)

it's why all of my beckory content (at least now) is always post ggy. even if Gregory was himself during their three amigos friendship in ggy I dont think beckory could happen because of what kind of people they both are. not only does post ggy beckory make more sense after going through stuff together but since tony is a selfish person with easily fixable flaws if he'll just realize them I think him growing and changing as a person during his and Gregory's (and depending, ellis, since he has to be included too. I believe in no tony without ellis) adventure would be so interesting

this ask wasnt rude or anything so dont worry :) I'm glad to answer it. this is my own appeal to beckory but others dont have my exact preferences and that's okay, but this is how I see them trying to stick as closely to in character as possible. I like seeing beckory as a continuation of ggy and not completely changing everything about the book to make it happen, you know?

I like the story and I think beckory would come from that, not purely beckory so I erase everything else. Tony's character development tied with beckory + how beckory can parallel fronnie is so appealing to me. I'm a writer so of course I love the big picture + the ship more than just the ship lol

SPOILERS FOR KUNG FU PANDA 4

This is a massive rant btw. I have a lot of thoughts about this movie

(TW: Bad spelling and not remembering any names 💀)

...

Yh so I'm ranting rn

Like it was good, but not great 🕴️. Does not compare to the first 2, DEFINITELY not the second one, that one was just 🙌🏽 . And u know, that's ok, it's hard to pull a puss in boots and do better than the originals, but still the movie was lack luster

These are my points for why:

1. Plot was SO obvious. As soon as I saw that fox I knew she d be the new dragon warrior, cuz yh. Just obvious. And you know what? I wouldv been fine with that if they developed her character more. Like her bond with po SHOULDV been developed SO MUCH MORE. It felt like their whole dynamic was she was sarcastic and he went 🥺 n that's it. Like, why couldn't they have bonded more on them both being orphans ? How she feels unwanted because the world has rejected her and KEEPS rejecting her, but Po (who has gone thru a very similar thing) can teach her that yes that may be true, but that won't always be the case and once she finds her found family she can feel accepted, just like what happens to Po.

2. The villain and her daughter - so much potential but not enough done for them. Like just. I loved their dynamic, just SO MICH POTENTIAL BUT NOT ENOUGH GIVEN. There was one flashback of them meeting. That's it. There was basically only r4 interactions between them aswell: the betrayal scene, the "I'm using you" scene,the flashback and the final fight. And in NONE of these does it show how strong of a connection they have what about their relationship makes the fox betray Poe for the chameleon??? I wish we had a shi fu and tai lung type flashback where it showed the chameleon raising her and them developing a bond so that we know how hard it is for the fox to go against her orders

3. The villain herself - what motive ? U cannot convince me that "I'm evil because all the kung fu masters rejected me because I was too small" WHEN THERES A SNAKE THE SAME SIZE AS HER AND A F*CKING BUG WHO ARE BOTH AMAZING KUNG FU WARRIORS . like no. Just no. Someone would accepted her. U can't use her size as a reason for her becoming evil, just no. Instead, why not explain her reason being that she was poor/living in the streets ? A large portion of the movie is set around how there's a large group underground who have turned to crime, and poverty is often rampant in cities, so why not use that ? It also allows her to bond more with the fox as they have the same upbringing, but instead the chameleon was never able to get past how no one helped her and everyone rejected her, whilst the fox is able to accept where she is and find ppl who will accept her. Then they could've had a rlly impactful scene in the end where the fox accepts change and wanted the chameleon to change with her because SHE loves her and would fight for her, mother daughter style. Like writing that out just rlly made me think about how much they missed the mark, almost all 3 KFP movies are about father-son bonds, this movie could've had an impactful mother-daughter bond n it blew it 😩. So yh, I don't think the villains motive was fleshed out enough, I just don't think that her being small should have been the main centre for her character. Compare her to all the past villains, her motive is too simple and not developed enough

4. Tai lung and shen. NOT USED ENOUGH. How dare u bring those GODS OF VILLAISN back and not use them properly. And also have Po barely be surprised about them . SHEN IS THE MAN THAT COMMITTED MASS GENOCIDE AGAINST UR SPECIES, KILLED UR MOTHER AND LEFT U AN ORPHAN, Y R U NOT SHOCKED OR WORRIED THAT HE S HERE. And on top of that, ain't no what that peacock would simply bow and go " 🙂" and leave. He ain't bowing to Po, why would he respect him ? Shen doesn't CARE about being the dragon warrior, that wasnt his calling or whatever. Like, i could hav accepted it if he at least had a sentence apologizing for his actions, just ANYTHING that explains why he s so calm. I'm not angry that he is calm, I'm angry that it wasn't explained 🕴️(and tbh, I don't even think he needed a redemption arc much. He did horrible stuff, yes he has trauma, doesn't explain his actions. His death was a result of his arrogance and karma for his actions, I just think his character was fine (stressing him as a character was well written) the way it is, of anything this movie and taken away from his character )

And tai lung. Most of his character in this was comedy. And him going from "you are a mistake🙄" to "actually ur not a mistake 😏" within 10 minutes was annoying. I wish there was more interaction between him and Po. Then fighting together, bonding. Have them BOTH grow to move on from the title of dragon warrior together, since that title is such a grand part of both of their identities that they both have had a tough time letting go of. Once again, I'm not angry that he made jokes n was acting goofy (that was fun, I liked that), I'm annoyed that the movie didn't explain or provide context for why he was able to get over his past feelings and beliefs.

I can understand that they died and were able to let go of their actions in their mortal life, i just wish that it was addressed or properly shown. Especially shen, in his last moments he was given the chance to fess up n be good and he still refused. Bro died with u finished business, I would like to see how he came to terms with that or at least hav it b addressed

Overall, the bringing back of the past VILLAISN was fumbled. So much potential, but not used and on top of that it just kinda makes a joke of them and their original actions.

--> quick add on that I just remembered. Where r the five ? Like, I understand that they could've get the actors back or whatever. Ok find. But why not hav the chameleon capture all of them at the start and then they remain captured/past out/in a coma the rest of the movie until they R rescued :/. Like. That's such a better way of writing them out cuz a. It gives Poe even more incentive to want to take down the chameleon B. It makes the chameleon a much more threatening villain, cuz all the chameleon does in this movie is push one dude down some stairs, and then bring back so dead ppl, lick them n put them in a cage 🕴️. I would appreciate more stakes. ALSO PO SHOULDV TALKED ABOUT HIS FRIENDSHIP WITH THE 5 MORE, cuz this guy is a yapper, ain't no way he ain't talking bout them. It couldv once again been a way he bonded with the fox, if both of them had looked up to the 5 or something like that, or maybe even just about how Po can't wait to accept the fox into his found family

ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: wish they developed po and the foxes friendship. I might hav said this b4, I hav bad memory. Just there could've been more bonding , wish there was but alas 😪

5. Poe s trauma ? Now, I'm a psychology student. I love seeing mental health and depth show in movies so I kno I'm being a bit picky. I just wished that we could see more of Poe coming to terms of all the stuff that has happened to him. Or at least referenceing it. I just think that he was way too jokey and light hearted the whole time. Like, there was a scene where fireworks suddenly went off next to him. I wish he flinched or anything like that, since fireworks were such a big thing (almost a trigger) for him in the first movie because of the mass killing of his species by shen. Like, even if he has gotten over it all, it would have been great to have him reference everything he s been through. It could hav been one of the things he bonded over with the fox, how yes, times get tough but you can get thru it if u r supported by the right people

Like tbh I think it wouldv been rlly cool if this movie focused on love :both the healthy and toxic types. Bringing back old villains can reference old baggage , like the toxic love between tai lung and shi fu, and the chameleon and the fox. It could be about breaking those toxic habits and changing to move past them and let the last go. Po couldv acted as the message of that, he could show his surroundings characters how to let go of the past to move on to a better future . Like, after everything he s been through that wouldv been so impactful.

Overall, just a lot of missed potentials in this movie. Still liked it tho. So here are some things I liked.

Visuals: fun visuals . Tho I do think some of the scenery wasn't as memorable as previous movies. Like comparing this villains hideout (wrong word but oh well) to shens, shens is so much more memorable and impactful. Looking at it you feel intimidated. In this movie, not so much. But it was still very pretty and u can tell some hard work went behind it, had some great animations, very smoothe, so yh :)

VIOLA DAVIS AS THE CHAMELEON 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 LOVE HER, LOVE THE VOICE ACTING JUST 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽 like, the chameleon wasn't fleshed out as much as I'd hoped, but I still love her because I can FEEL that's she could be AMAZING cuz everything else was great except for the lack of backstory. Like I love her power, I love her character design, I love her voice .

The gay dad's 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I loved them. Highlight of the movie for me🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 every scene I saw them I smiled. I just loved them so much, that was so cute, I love how they cared about Po so much AND CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER!! That was so cute. Loved that so much. I would watch an entire movie of them cuz just 🙌🏽🙌🏽 loved them so much.

So yh, that's it. Gonna go rewatch all the other movies now

I can't stop thinking about Luke surviving the dance (with or without dragon tbh) and basically taking over Driftmark since Corlys has gotten too old to rule it. He isn't legally Lord of Driftmark but everyone respects him and calls him as such. I'd imagine him either being a hostage for the greens for a bit before escaping them or surving the fall and finding his way around Stormlands, maybe some family in a small village takes him in for a month so that he can regain his strength. But then he is absolutely fucking furious and goes all sicko mode. He claims a dragon (could be any of them or maybe Arrax is alive) but he never really forgets how much of a problem Velaryon fleets and ships could be to the greens, so he takes after Corlys and leads the Velaryon troops into war and they win pretty much everytime. He maybe even basically (spoilers for fire and blood if you haven't read it) saves Jace in the Battle of The Gullet with Velaryon ships and his dragon. After the war no one ever dares to call him a Strong again, he is both a Velaryon and a Targaryen and he is proven himself as such. You can sneak in Lucemond into this somehow haha i just conpletely forgot about Aemond here. Maybe when Arrax dies Aemond basically thinks the debt as payed (an eye for a dragon, a dragon for an eye) and when Luke goes and claims another dragon Aemond cannot blame him for it, bc then he'd be a hypocrite. I'd honestly love an AU where Luke is captured and it's a whole story about how he goes through some shitty stuff but those only make him stronger in the end. (ig theres many plotlines in GoT that contains hostage situations too haha it just has the best potentials)

I love this and I'm gonna do a twist on it, if that's okay?

Lucerys survived, and when he came back to Dragonstone he refused to claim another dragon. He lost Arrax and the pain of that severed bond was too raw, too fresh, for him to contemplate replacing his friend. In the future, maybe, but right now? No. No, he couldn't bring himself to do that.

So, he embraced his Velaryon heritage instead.

The sea almost took him once after all, but it gave him back, and that marked him in some way. Being at the mercy of the vast ocean and allowed to survive - it changed a person.

He was more a tempest than fire now, but he's just as sharp, just as dangerous as any dragon that soared through the sky.

And Lucerys had always wanted to protect his family. It was the one thing that never failed to rouse his temper, and to defend their cause from the sea while his mother, father and siblings defended it from the sky? It was - not perfect, but as close as he could get.

He became known as the 'Sea Dragon'. His weakness for sea travel fell away to a confidence unmatched by any other, and Corlys would burst with pride at how his grandson grew to take command of Driftmark and the Velaryon fleet.

Lucerys sailed, and he fought, and he won more often than not. For all that he was young and untested, he was reckless and bold, and his ingenuity was one of his biggest strengths.

And his men loved him for it.

By the end of the war, no one who worked under his command would dare claim him unworthy of the title Lord of the Tides. Bastard or not, he carried the Velaryon name and lived up to the legacy.

(And if it were a kinder world, one where Aegon eventually decided that enough was enough and he was sick of being a pawn in his mother's games and his grandsire's ambitions, and he bent the knee to his sister? Well, Lucerys and Aemond would eventually reunite, and though he had known his nephew had survived their ill-fated fight above Shipbreaker Bay, Aemond still found himself breathless when he saw Lucerys again for the first time.

His nephew had grown in the past year, the last of his boyishness peeling away to reveal a defined jawline and strong features with the beginnings of stubble on his cheeks. Muscular and tanned from his days on board his ship, Arrax, and eyes that roiled, he looked -

Handsome, Aemond realised with a jolt.

But the thing that bothered him the most was that, for all the pain and anger that lurked between them, Lucerys didn't look at Aemond. Not during the negotiations. Not during the tense feasts that followed. Not even at his mother's coronation when they stood right across from each other. It was as if he had ceased to exist in his nephew's eyes, and that burned.

For Lucerys, his indifference was the last armour he had, because if he acknowledged his uncle, if he dared look at the man that had carved half of his soul from his chest and now seemed to live under his skin, then he'd do something he'd regret. Like kill him.

Or kiss him.

He wasn't going to tempt fate and see which side the coin landed on.

Too bad for him, Aemond refused to be ignored.)

#anonymous #HOTD #lucerys velaryon #aemond targaryen #lucemond #me holding lucerys up to you all: i just think he's neat #have another potential au lmao #the salt in our blood au

Sorry for the obnoxious astrology post, but had to put it out somewhere

Well, astrology has veen one of my hobbies for quite some time, and me in my charlos obsessed era of course had to bring them into it.

So, dont get me wrong, im not a birth chart reader, much less synastry. (Already saying, Sainz doesnt even has his time of birth known for the public for instance, so i could never make a full synastry chart that would help me to try to dissect them much more.)

But i went on and tried a synastry chart cause i had to, but i honestly wasnt expecting anything much from it.

Also, I want to be clear that synastry is not only about couples, but about the potential relationships between two individuals, so dont take this post seriously. i just did this for fun, curiosity, and cause i have free time :)

In fact theres nothing much to see there because knowing both their houses placements would be much better. However, theres one thing about it that immediatelly caught my eye.

First of all: in blue, its LEC and red, SAI. With that in mind, lets look at this picture:

If youre new to this: here is SAI'z venus conjunct with LEC's mercury (they are in fact pratically juxtaposed, in the 24° of libra). Not only this, but we can see LEC's has his own sun conjuct with his mercury, so, consequently, SAI's venus is conjuct with LEC's Sun too. Now this is the part i'm smiling.

So, to put it shortly: even for astrology-newbies, we know these are one of the fundamentally most important planets in astrology. Sun, Mercury and Venus. and the fact that they 3 are present in this conjunct, in a synastry, means that it makes the bond even more strong, taking an astrologic perspective.

Oversimplifying, Mercury: planet of communication/ Vênus: planet of relationships (any kind of them)/ sun: planet of the essence.

I did look it up and found some things interesting, but these are from astrology blogs and are generalized, so take everything here with a grain of salt. but i think its time to say i want to make clear that im not doing this to anything but give food for thought for people who like them and want to know out of curiosity, and not trying to insinuate anything about their personal lives that are not my business.

here are the links i found about these conjunctions:

mercury conjunct venus , second one

And some screenshots i liked:

Here for sun conjunct venus

and some selected screenshots:

Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk lol

Sorry for the weird screenshots, but they are readable lol (idk if the sun/venus ones are in order, but i think you can make sense out of it

Btw, here are Carlos and Charles birth charts separetedely

Is there a mandate in Teen Titans Go where they say Robin and Starfire are never allowed to be an actual couple in the show?

I don't understand why they don't want them to be together they make Starfire reject Robin.

I don't think it would cause any problem if they become a thing, they can still make comedy jokes in the show while being in a relationship at the same time.

i think TTG is a low effort parody show, so to change something fundamental to the original concept (having TTG robin chase TTG starfire) would take too much effort. the show would have to replace the conflict of unrequited(?) love with another conflict funny enough to move an episodic story forward for an infinite number of seasons.

so yeah, there probably is a mandate/rule (in the show bible or something) to prevent TTG robstar from becoming "official"

(also if you dont find the idea of TTG robstar being unrequited funny, then tbh i feel like TTG's kind of humor and even the original concept of TTG just isnt for u... it's not the 2003 cartoon v2, it's a parody and always was. by this point i feel like it (TTG's parody elements at least) are such a specific kind of humor that 89% of people won't enjoy it, and thats fine)

anyway there's also how TTG had more sincerity in season 1 when it was more like a really weird sitcom, where the titans' relationships (while still subversions of the 2003 cartoon) were mostly genuine bonds even if they acted like lobotomy patients sometimes. the comedy had limits and the characters had empathy. so if TTG robstar would ever have a chance at becoming anything near canon, it would have been back in s1, though still unlikely

but later seasons of TTG can be very mean spirited, overly cynical and deconstructive, depending on who is writing the episode (assuming the episode is even character focused at all, which became less common over time). the show went from a parody of the 2003 cartoon to a parody of everything besides the 2003 cartoon lol. sometimes i feel like post season 1 some of TTGs writers took the mob hate to heart and let negativity poison the original sitcom premise before slowly selling out

so i dont think genuine relationships between the TTG titans can happen anymore, some of the writers hate the characters enough to have broken up their friendships (someone even messed with cyborg & BB once omg), let alone the romantic relationships. except maybe that doesn't matter either because TTG resets most of its continuity every episode?? ironically TTG could still turn the ship around in terms of the series' tone and direction, though i doubt they will if the current direction makes more money

weirdly enough whenever TTG shits out another AU thing, like the big 2018 movie or the night begins to shine universe, suddenly theres unironic robstar shipping/hints in it that are soooooooo cute. besides being shipper bait this is probably because those TTG AUs feel removed from the main TTG series, so their stories feel more free like they're allowed to be sincere again, like the main show's original season 1.

unless the romance is supposed to be a joke, it needs sincerity in order to work. and its impossible to write sincerely when youre a contractual writer buried under 300 layers of irony and cynicism who doesn't even like the show youre writing for... and thats what i feel happened to the main TTG show ,compared to some of its AU stuff

tl;dr i just cope and pretend like TTG is still the goofy sitcom it used to be, partially coz season 1 TTG robstar had the (admittedly very low) potential to be real, and even if it didnt happen at least their friendship was consistently sincere. and very cute

Mudshock au:

Where I rewrite the show up till skybound so instead of the love triangle aimed at Nya, its aimed at Jay.

After Jay unlocks his true potential on his date with Nya, she genuinely gains feelings for him.

But instead of jumping into a relationship, they decide to just stay friends. They want to form a bond before starting anything serious.

Same goes for Jay and Cole, they grow as friends and get to know each other as time passes.

Jay develops a slight crush on Cole, which is actually the reason he decided to stay friends with Nya in the first place.

Jays a lot more indecisive in this au and has a difficult time choosing between Nya and Cole.

He doesn’t think too hard about it though. He just wants to enjoy their company, flirting here and there.

In rebooted, the whole, ‘love matching’ machine just doesn’t happen.

Nya and Cole find out they both have feelings for Jay through circumstances alone.

Instead of their rivalry being filled with tension and hateful words, its more of a silent competitiveness.

Nya and Cole are still friends and definitely respect one another. They’ll be competing one day and then have a deep convo about life the next.

In summary, its a competition of who can woo Jay first.

Its sort of a running gag throughout the first few seasons.

Jay can sense somethings off but has no clue whats going on. The wooing actually does work but just makes him all the more indecisive.

The thing is, Jay doesn’t know if Nya and Cole even like him. They aren’t obvious with their flirting. It’s more of a battle in his head on which crush he should stick with and pursue.

During The Tournament of Elements, Jays feelings for Cole grow due to being away from Nya. Cole, taking this as an opportunity to spend some more time with Jay.

The Cole and Jay fight happens but its a lot more mundane. It ends with Cole sacrificing himself like in canon.

Out of guilt, Jay makes up his mind then and there and chooses Cole. But he's still unsure of himself, so he doesn’t make a move.

That is until Possession, season 5. Where Jay sees his future in the temple of the first spinjitzu master. Only seeing Nya by his side instead of Cole. Since Cole had invisibility on in the future.

This just confuses Jay all over again and brings him back to square one.

Jay also tells all of this to Zane. Airing out his frustrations. Zane tries to give any sort of advice he can.

When the ninja start getting famous. Instead of the Jay x Nya x Cole love triangle being widespread news,

It just, isn’t.

Of course theres some fans who ship the ninja and make those ‘everytime jay gets flustered by Nya/Cole’ youtube videos and some who raise eyebrows when Nya and Cole subtly flirt with Jay in interviews. But the love triangle doesn’t get as bad as it does canonically.

While Nya and Cole are still trying to compete over Jay. Jays having an internal battle over the two and its causing him literal stress.

He still doesn’t know they reciprocate feelings for him, its mostly just a “this isn’t normal, I cant have crushes on both of them! I have to choose one!”

Theres also a feeling of, “do I even deserve them both...?”

Eventually, after the ninja break out of prison for being framed. Nadakhan finds Jay alone without the ninja near. (The ‘Nya rejects Jay’ doesn’t happen)

But instead of Nadakhan using Nya as manipulation to get Jay to make a wish. He uses Jays insecurities.

It doesn't work at first, and Jays very close to signaling for help.

That is until Nadakhan tries another tactic, mentioning Cole and Nya. The djinn talks of all of Cole and Nyas accomplishments. How perfect they are. And how, meh, Jay is. He says he knows of Jays crush on them, and asks if Jay thinks he really deserves them.

Jay doesn’t say anything.

Eventually, Jay caves and wishes that he wasn’t poor, that he could give Nya and Cole what they deserved.

Jay finds out he’s adopted and that Cliff Gordons his dad, just like canon.

Instead of Jay finding the ‘book on how to woo woman’ that helps him make all his terrible decisions. He ignores it, his line of thinking being “well, I’m not trying to woo them, and Cole isn’t even a woman!”

Nya finds him at Cliff Gs mansion and Jay decides to lie and say he saved up for his ‘secret base’ worried she'll be upset if she knew he wished for it.

When Jay shows the mansion to the rest of the ninja. Instead of Cole confronting him and calling him out on his ‘I saved up up for this’ bullshit. Its Zane.

Jay tells Zane everything and makes him promise not to tell anyone.

Zanes extremely reluctant but agrees.

Eventually they get on Cliff Gs ship and sail to retrieve the venom to stop Nadakhan. Zane is left alone inside the ship and tries to outsmart Nadakhan while a storm strikes outside. He loses and is trapped in Nadakhans sword.

When the ship crashes on the island, Jays wrecked with guilt over the fact that Zane was taken, along with Kai.

He thinks that maybe if he told everyone the truth, they wouldn't have told Zane to go to the bottom of the ship alone.

Jay comes clean, telling Lloyd, Nya, and Cole all about the wishes, but not necessarily why. Not wanting them to know he harbors feelings.

Cole and Nya feel betrayed. They thought that they were close with Jay. That he could tell them anything.

Lloyd's the angriest out of all of them, for good reason, and tells Jay that he has to be the one that collects the venom from the spider.

The whole venom expedition goes with Nya and Cole contemplating and then bombarding Jay with questions of “why didn't you tell us”, “why did you make those wishes”, “why did you lie to us.”

Jay uncharacteristically stays tight-lipped, sometimes making an offhand excuse.

This just deepens the betrayal that Nya and Cole feel.

Things go as normal, with Jay getting kidnapped and the rest escaping the island and conducting a plan to save him. Forgiving Jay for lying to them.

Nya and Cole also feel like they're both ‘losing’ the competition. Because how can either of them end up with Jay if he doesn't even trust them.

Cole tries to put the venom in Nadakhans drink but fails and finds Jay like in canon. They try to escape but get captured along with Nya and Lloyd.

They all waste their 3 wishes, with Jay still having his last one.

But unlike in canon, only Lloyd gets trapped in the sword. He pushes Nya, Jay, and Cole, forcing all three of them to make an energy dragon fusion.

Eventually they hide out at Zanes dads lighthouse, meeting Echo. All three of them talk and bond, trying to think up ideas to stop Nadakhan and fortifying the lighthouse.

Nya and Cole eventually sit down with Jay, they ask why he made his wishes. After some pestering from them, he admits, he felt inadequate compared to them and the rest of the ninja. He didnt feel like he was good enough. He thought maybe he could be good enough if he wasnt, you know, poor.

He doesn’t specify that he wanted to be good enough for them, to be able give them what they deserve.

They understand, reassuring him that he is good enough. They both almost confess their feelings to him before they realize that Nadakhan and his crew had found them.

They’re forced to use the travelers tea, but theres only enough for one person. Jay looks to Cole and Nya and is indecisive all over again. He can’t choose which one to save. Even though he knows he should save Nya, due to her being the target, he can’t help but want Cole to be safe as well.

Jay isn't able to get a word out, Nya and Cole looking at each other before looking back at Jay. They pour their hearts out, confessing everything. How they've loved him since the very start. They laugh when they mention the competition as they hold back the door stopping Nadakhans crew.

Jays dumbfounded, mouth gaping, unsure of what to say.

Nya and Cole grab Jay, saying his wish is the last one and the most important. Their final words being that Jay deserves the best, that they trust him to save them. They push Jay into the portal and brace themselves to fight Nadakhans crew.

They both get captured and Jay falls into his parents backyard. He tells them everything, including Nya and Coles confession.

Jay creates the ninja team 2.0 and rushes to save his friends and future partners.

Jay finds Nya locked up by a window in a wedding dress. He’s a bit flustered, since the last time they saw each other she’d confessed her feelings. All he can think of is, “how can someone as beautiful as this love me?”

His thoughts are interrupted as Nya quickly tells him that Cole was trapped in the sword like the rest of the ninja. With her help Jays able to retrieve the sword, releasing Lloyd, Kai, Wu, Misako, Zane, and Cole. Cole tries to talk to Jay, and Jay would love to be able to take a second and talk to him too. But they aren’t given the time. The 5 ninja rush to stop the wedding but are too late, forced to run and leave Nya behind.

They return later, with Nya now as Delara and the venom to slow down Nadakhan.

Flintlocke takes the shot and poisons Nadakhan, but Nya as well. She gasps, calling Jay and Coles name.

Jay and Coles hearts shatter. Cole hates himself in that moment, because if he hadn’t been a coward, if he had simply stopped playing their stupid game and told Jay that he loved him then none of this would have happened. Jay wouldn’t have felt inadequate and made his wish.

Jay blames himself, for the obvious reasons, for not being good enough, for making his wish, for not knowing that Nya and Cole loved him.

Jay hugs Nya close, with Cole kneeled beside him. He makes his last wish. “I wish… That I knew you both loved me, and that no one found the djinn teapot.”

The timeline traces back to the rooftop. Nya and Cole had just flirted with Jay. It made him flustered and confused. He gets in his head again, and the stress of his indecisiveness takes over. He doesn’t notice Dareth and the helicopters approaching.

Nya and Cole urge him to use airjitzu so he can hide behind the billboard, but then they pause, a sense of deja vu washing over them. Jay snaps out of it and looks up at them. They airjitzu down, Jay going up. They meet and hold hands, almost stunned with the situation as they drift and reach the ground. Nya and Cole stand before Jay.

Jay stares at them, the memory of Nya and Cole confessing to him resurfacing. He takes a step back before leaping forwards and pulling them both into a hug. He says he remembers everything, and that he loves them too. They embrace him in return, confirming that they also remember.

The rest of the ninja jump down, unsure of what's going on but happy for the three nonetheless.

twst soulmate au

what about a soulmate au

where everyone has soulmarks of each other n stuff (you can decide which are platonic and which are romantic)

maybe its a 'get a connection with someone and you get connected' 'meet your fated match, gain an understanding/friendship of each other, mark appears' idfk (ive read some twst soulmate fics but also it feels like everyones backstory just gets so much crueler when its there since like birth .. and it makes me sadge)

regardless

and then think of yuu as like an anchor in that big web of nrc students (and maybe others, like che'nya and neige, although likely more distant since we dont know em that well)

where yuu can like sort of guide them? that they're more aware of it. i dont think im explaining this right. but there's so many different friendships that can bloom. except its overwhelming and intense because theres so many, that yuu can be like a soothing balm. a calm on the mind, and reassurance. that they stop worrying if only for a moment, because their anchor is there, and the anchor is there to keep them grounded. that it'll all be okay. that they'll get along (there might be some rough bumps but there's the potential for friendship for everyone. honestly i love the freshmen group being a thing so much, even if at times they kind of dont get along)

in any case. now imagine that soulmates can use the signature spells of each other

sorry i just kind of want to see the chaos of that (yuu can probably do it too by like. idk pulling on the soulmate thread bond thing? shrug? more strain on that person since they dont have magic nor a magestone for blot to go into. or maybe it works the same way and yuu slowly gets poisoned the more they do it. wuh woh.)

and they're basically helping each other in that sense (i imagine the blot would then go both ways, half n half, and would also serve to be like 'hey someone used your spell' if they dont already get a warning of some other way, like a tug that they instinctively know who it came from as to be like a distress signal)

additionally. well they probably wouldn't use it unless it was an emergency

but just. imagine.

theres this guy trying to blame something on one of them (imagine we're pranking an authority figure)

so just watch as the one with a signature spell to do [this] has a clear alibi with someone else

and another person is using that person's signature spell to do the thing

so the guy can't blame that person who he thinks 'so obviously did it' because he wasn't there at the time.

well its lost once its revealed that they can do that kind of thing. but. the chaos. and maybe they're a bit op but. but but. the chaos. hehe

also idk yuu as the anchor could probably take distress signals and send it to everyone in emergencies. to help those sort of messages get passed on. (and feelings too? i like soulmates where they can send feelings to each other. its cute)

scuse me i gotta go be embarrassing under the cut brb 🚶

@cosmiccoincidence @felix-the-lemon-king well FUCK ok hi lol 👋

so like images from the engtwst translation that altered my brain forever:

so like. 🧍🙈 URGHGHHHG lol. felix u may have heard some of or all of this tangent before in the dms LOL but

my attempt at long story short: friend and i were into twst well before engtwst came out, so when we saw the official translation translated cater's "leona-kun" to "leona, sweetheart," we were like 🤨sweetheart?🤨🤨🤨 jkslajKLDJL like ik it's a casual thing meant here but. however. you see LOL

longer details: me being how i am as a person™, i let this fester in the back of my brain and it gradually grew out of control. i dont like. theyre not a pair i think of when i think of My Cater Ships. HOWEVER as i do with most leona potential ships(???) they read as exes to me here JSDLFG like. me with my soap opera lenses on [they are never off. sorry.] has me running wild w/this like leona/cater having A Thing of some undefined nature like maybe last year. tapping into cater's implied vibes of not always letting people get super close / used to kinda keeping things surface level and making the most of Being In The Moment and less concerned about making lasting ties bc hes used to stuff not lasting from his moving around etc etc whatever. like cater and leona starting off w/ a bond of just quietly being in each others space [i mean caters a chatterbox LOL im thinkin those rare moments where hes like mask off kinda lethargic or something. caycays such an interesting character w/a lotta mystery in that regard but i do NOT have time to get into that so just!!! bear with me LOL JFKLSDJF]

anyway i feel like i recycle the same plotlines with characters/ocs forever but thats just too bad: cater+ leona bonding somehow dont worry about it. idk leonas a spelldrive star and caters really good at flying so They Could Bond -> somehow falling into like a Casual Lowkey Relationship where theyre like 'we arent DATING dating, no labels and mostly just hang out when no one's around but Something Undefined is happening here. they kiss or whatever lol -> they emphasize w/e they have is strictly casual and 'doesnt mean anything' -> perhaps cater emphasized the 'doesnt mean anything' part more idk -> some forbidden feelings kinda spark anyway but one or both of em are just kinda. ignoring/denying it lol -> ive had a specific image in my brain for a Long Time of like. cater kissing lion boy. then being like ✌️its ok, its just for fun dont worry doesnt mean anything ✌️ -> and like its a mutual neutral feeling At First but like eventually i think their Situation falls apart for one reason or another and theres Tension

^i said takes place the year before the game starts but i think i also had it in my mind toying w/the idea of it as like a SUMMER FLING/ROMANCE(?) that ended RIGHT BEFORE school started. or idk maybe it ended right before they got out for break. WHATEVER.

point is those screenshots are from book 2 which is still pretty early on in the school year so ive got the vibe of like "oh things are still awkward between them, the 'breakup' is still relatively fresh, and leona feels bitter about it and is playing extra hardball with these guys and also harshly teasing them about it bc caters there and hes Emotional but taking it out sports style" lol. and supplementing that Specific Image In My Head^ i imagine in that convo in the screenshots w/cay being like 😔leona sweetheart plz chill😔 leona would just be like 😒well. it 'Doesnt Mean Anything' so whats the problem here 😌 😒

anyway. you maybe didnt really ask for the extra headcanon au lore whatever details but i gave them to you anyway LOL my LeoCay Messy Breakup AU. but i ALSO just like drawing them together bc cay is my fave and fun to draw, and leona is Also fun to draw 😔 my fave character cay + character i have been dragged kicking and screaming to kind of respect over time KLJFSDKLJFL every time leona says or does something that makes me think hes cool or smart i get SO MAD about it. seething at book 6 LOL SJDKLFJD twst with their damn complex characters making me Think Deeply 😒 and then i steal their deep blorbos and put them in my funny little barbie dreamhouse soap opera recycled romance drama plotline loop forever and ever and ev

ahem. so yea on the surface. pair that probs would never ever work out HOWEVER it's MY mind palace and i can make up whatever silly rules i want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#literally sat here head in my hands irl for a few seconds bc i was so embarrassed typing all this LOL had 2 pause and recollect myself #still gonna tag it tho. i have to desensitize myself 💪#twisted wonderland #cater diamond #leona kingscholar #twst #cereal tries to draw #if the readmore doesnt work im committing crimes. but usually it works after i edit and re-add it lol #i have a lot of cay ships bc cay is a fave character and #i cant help but put my fave blorbos through the 'everyone should love u' machine #listen not everything is about shipping however i simply Enjoy It #it is FUN #<- me defending myself when literally no one is challenging me lol #SORRY it's 1am im Getting Scared lol #its the danger hour the Big Emotions time lol time for BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gather round children it’s time for a Ted Talk about FEH and how I go about drawing these characters.

When making art for this game, I have found immense satisfaction in attempting to meet FEH on its level and remain fairly loyal to the Intelligence System’s approved content we have. This is remarkably challenging. For me, at least. I find this game’s design sensibilities run very counter to my own. That’s not a critique of any in game art of the characters (although I do think they improve greatly over time) as they fulfill their purpose really well. They are meant to be drawn 4 times max which means they can go pretty crazy on the details. But hahahaha I’m not doing that. Clearly. I’m drawing these guys by hand at different angles and posses fairly consistently, which is just not what they were built for. Don’t think when someone designed Kiran they thought of the person who’d be drawing them chilling ontop of a fridge with a bottle of mustard in their hand, you know?

So naturally I got to do some translating! And that’s the really fun part >:]

There are many things I had to find creative answers for, like Kiran’s face and Alfonse’s stupid haircut. But the one rotating rapidly in my brain atm is the Askr quartet in combat. I wanted lean hard into the fact that these four are, well, very human in comparison to every other combatant that enters Askr. They aren’t exactly helpless nor unskilled. If any of the trio raised their blade at Kiran, they’d start digging their own grave themselves. But the group are regular soldiers fighting against straight up warriors of legend. As individuals, Anna, Sharena, Alfonse, and Kiran are not that strong in comparison. No merges for these bitches they gotta work with what they got. However, they all know that. So they make up for their weaknesses through terrifyingly effective teamwork. Through the power of trauma bonding- I MEAN FRIENDSHIP they become a fucking terrifying force of nature. It’s like pissing off an ant hill or a wasps nest. A lancer goes for Alfonse and suddenly theres a swarm of five level 1 heroes making such a distraction that they don’t see Anna’s axe sweep through their Achilles heels or Sharena’s follow up shield bash.

So this means I get to convey their team composition through their body shapes and give them clear strengths and weakness for the others to cover. Which is just so god damn FUN. Like we all know Kiran is the squishiest of the squishy, so it’s really fun to show just HOW squishy they are through the immediate comparison Alfonse and Sharena. I gave those two sturdier square shapes, and thus making them shorter yet stocky. This makes it look like they could fucking launch Kiran’s bony ass to the moon and back. However, that’s on the condition that either of them could catch Kiran, as their tall slim build implies the lightweight speed they move with. Which is so!!!! Fun!!!! Aughhh big love. Kiran could literal use Sharena as cover to snipe enemies from. Meanwhile Anna and Alfonse are a bit ahead using reposition to let Anna provide swift dps without getting too beat up herself. And by reposition, I mean Alfonse using his shield as a jump pad to launch Anna at the enemy with. You know. Just bro things. Anna’s triangle shapes make her both just hearty and lean enough to pull it off, might as well go for it. Just make sure she’s properly supported and safe by the time the enemy phase rolls around you know?

And I swear, the combos just write themselves too. Like between Sharena and Alfonse, a poor soul gets caught in the worst version of ping pong as Alfonse captain America’s his shield between the two of them. Kiran could then use that same shield like Link does and surf out of enemy range, shooting at the enemy the whole way. It’s fun! These guys have the potential to really sync up during combat and be emblematic of their bonds with one another.

Example, Alfonse. Alfonse could TECHNICALLY be a stronger solo fighter if he ditched the shield. He has the constitution and skill to not actually need the extra protection, and if he decided to two hand his weapon (haha there’s a joke there) the damage he could do would be devastating. However, the shield isn’t for his protection, but to be better help to his closest friends. The shield isn’t taking as many hits for him as it is for Kiran and Anna, who can’t afford to carry shields without compromising their own effectiveness. Plus through creative (and probably not intentional) uses it helps better position them on the battlefield. It’s for THEM. The only time he’s going to stop using the shield is when they aren’t there fighting along side him.

Enter Líf.

He hasn’t had a shield for a long time now.

#These ideas have been living in my brain for too long they needed a way out #feh Ted Talk #Man I wish animating these characters wouldn’t be an actual living hell #I have so many brain animatics #fights against Líf and Thasir would be so INTERESTING with this in mind #He KNOWS their tricks #Fighting him would be TERRIFYING #feh #fire emblem heroes #kiran #alfonse #feh kiran #feh alfonse #feh summoner #feh anna #feh sharena
