Stray kids x genderneutral!reader headcanons
Random Stray Kids prompt headcanons because I’m too lazy to write a whole fucking fic but I still want to post:
Pairing: Stray kids x Genderneutral!reader, established relationships for all of them
Warnings: Just fluff, one teeny tiny mention of throwing up, Remember that this is all just my opinion!
Would they win a pillow fight against you?
Bang Chan:
Technically, yes
But my guy is too whipped to allow you to loose
He’s gonna let you win
And he’s also gonna let you brag about it
He’s so cute AShSJKMVFNDjsk
Lee Know:
Yes.
My guy is gonna be COMPETITIVE
You better run
He wont back down
He is gonna tease you about your loss for days
It’s hot though
(is it just me that finds being teased hot???)
Anyways you’re absolutely done for😻😻😻
Changbin:
I think it’s 50/50
On one hand he would totally win and then brag about it endlessly
Like bro is jacked there is no way he wouldn’t win
Lots of muscle flexing if he wins😶
But
On the other hand
He is baby girl
He would loose and complain
He would be pouting for the rest of the day
Hyunjin:
No
Bro is dramatic asf
If you hit him, my guy is going to be screaming, crying, throwing up into a pillow case instantly
I don’t think I need to explain anymore
Han:
No
He would try
Eventually you’d end up getting the upper hand
He’d be the type to just hold the pillow above his head to protect himself and scream
I think he’d just congratulate you when you decide to spare him💀
Felix
Yes
I have no idea why but I think he’d just be insane at pillow fights
He seems like the type to just be good at them
He’d be so sweet about winning though
He’d eventually give up after declaring his win and just cuddle with you instead😭
Seungmin:
Yes
This bitch is evil
How do you cheat in a pillow fight?
Idfk but he’ll find a way
After winning this dumbass will be pinning you to the floor while making fun of you for losing
If you tell him that he cheated he’ll just evily laugh and ignore you
Literally satan if he had an adorable laugh and was hot
I.N
Mostly no
Most of the time he won’t put any effort in
“Isn’t this a bit too childish?”
If you do get him to participate he’s winning
He’ll be putting up the fight of his life
Similar to Seungmin, he will be pinning you to the floor while making fun of you for losing
Bro is trying to make you blush
If he succeeds his mission will be complete
What are their love languages?
Bang Chan:
Words of affirmation
He will shower you in praise
But you need to shower him back
Call him pretty.
Call him talented.
Call him sweet.
He will melt
Lee Know:
Gift giving
Bro is bad with words
He’ll give you cute shit
You’ll give him cute shit

Felix
Physical touch
This is obvious
Just let the bitch hug you
Seungmin:
This was hard
Probably gift giving
I don’t have much reasoning
He just gives the vibes
I.N
Acts of service
He wants to do shit for you
He wants you to do shit for him
It's practical
How much would they tease you and what they would tease you about?
(I love this prompt my brain is so incredible)
Bang Chan:
I don’t think he’d tease you very much
If he does its more like 😻 instead of 😼
It would usually be you blushing at one of his many shit pickup lines he says instead of just making fun of it
“Aw look at you!”
“You’re so pretty when you blush”
“Did my pick up line work? Are you in love with me now?”
Lee Know:
Daily
24/7
Bro can’t stop
It would be for you making a mistake, blushing, breathing or doing anything at all
If you show any signs of getting flustered from his teasing YOU BETTER RUN
“How did you even do that? What is going on inside your head?”
“Oh my god are you blushing?!”
“I made you blush! That is so funny”
“You are so red, it’s so fucking cute”
I gave up on the rest of the members because I'm sleep deprived😻😻😻 sorry🤷♀️

Bang Chan:
Cheek
You’re sitting down doing nothing
He’ll kiss you on the cheek
You’re making some food
He’ll kiss you on the cheek
You’re having a bad day
HE’LL KISS YOU ON THE FUCKING CHEEK
Cheek is a weird word
Lee Know:

Rosebush!
Design Notes:
Its pretty much the exact same as the last one, I just redrew her <3
Character Bio:
Rosebush
(Rosetail)
Lesbian; she/her
Age as of 1st arc's beginning: 8 cycles, 10 moons; ~52 Hyrs
Title meaning: -bush = A sturdy cat, a cat you can depend on; is especially good at building; a cat who spends much of their time helping around camp and fixing dens
Caretaker of Thunder Order
Mentor: Tawnyspots
Mother: Poppydawn
Father: Windflight
Siblings: Sweet
Half Siblings: Dappledew; Thrushcloud
Kits (outsider sire): Redtail; Spottedleaf; Willowchime
Grandkits: Darkstripe; Sandstorm; Poppy; Flint; Graybelly; Sootfur; Rainwhisker; Sorreltail
Other notable kin: Downnose (niece); Cricketstep (nibling); Star Ravenscourge (nephew); Dustpelt (nephew)
Extra notes:
She defo has a secret outsider gf or something, she deserves a gf. If I wasnt attached to Snowstorm and Thistleclaw's fucked up relationship plot, Rose would have been Snow's mate.
Character Summary:
Rosebush is a sort of jack of all trades in the Caretaker role, she is very big and strong, she's one of the best builders in the Order, and she does a lot of the heavy lifting around the camp. She also is very loving and empathetic and loves caring for kits, elders and just anyone who needs some love and care. She's a big buff lady who loves and cares about everyone.
Rose is the mother of Redtail, Spottedleaf and Willowchime, she always wanted kits so she found an outsider to sire a litter! Its pretty sad that her kits had such short lives... at least Red and Willow are carried on through their children.
Rose is also in cahoots with Bluefrost and Thrushcloud about Thistleclaw's assassination. She doesn't join in herself, but she instead stays in camp with Spotted, she knew her daughter needed her.
Rose is one of Bluefrost's best friends, Blue, Snowstorm, Thrushcloud and Rosebush are/were a tight nit friend group, and were almost always spending time together. The deaths of Snow, then Rose and then Thrush is one of the biggest blows to Bluefrost's mental health.
Rosebush dies early in the first arc due to illness, though she lasts longer than in canon bec I think her death would be more impactful if her relationship with Bluefrost, her kits and the Order was established first.
...
[Image ID: A digital drawing of Rosetail from Warrior Cats. She is standing with her right side showing, she has a calm expression and a smile on her face. She is a big chubby tortoiseshell and white molly, she is mostly black, with pinkish-orange spotting on her back, tail and the top of her face, there are pink spots on her sides in heart and droplet shapes, there are also a black spot like this on her flank. The lower half and middle of her face is white, and this continues down her fluffy neck and stomach, her paws and tail tip are also white. Her eyes are a teal green color, her inner ears are pink, her nose is dark pink and her eyelashes are green like her eyes./End ID]

Straight Venomous
Chap. 8
A/N: Okay here we go babes shout out to all you fine mfs reading this i see you also feedback is always appreciated and I hope you enjoy! 4,749 word count EDITED 1/11/2023
T/W: Yandere, cursing, mention of murder/eating people(its venom y'all), reader is afraid to eat at some point bec she thinks its poison(its not lmao)
It irked your very soul to admit it, but despite everything that lead you here, you couldn't be more comfortable.
The queen-sized bed seemed like it was made for you specifically, cradling against your body in a way that made it hard not to relax. Lavender and mint wafted subtly through the room so as to not overwhelm your senses, the floors could be heated/cooled depending on how you felt in the moment, and the stimuli weren't half bad either. Plenty of books, all scarily your favorites and or ones you'd been meaning to read, and the art supplies you'd forgotten during your escape from the old apartment had miraculously appeared in one of the drawers, a few succulents dangling from the ceiling gave the cozy space a breath of life.
Dreamy lighting from the bedside salt lamp paired with the cold breeze constantly pumping through the vents had time melding in this unrecognizable way. The only way you'd managed to tell time was even passing was Jason coming in with food.
You imagined your experience would be vastly different had you been truly connected with your extra-terrestrial friend- he was still somewhere in you there that much you could feel, only now it was like a wall was placed between you and Venom blocking all communication, it felt as if you'd been drugged or something, the haze in your head unnatural. You'd taken to eating the smallest amounts possible, figuring they were using the food to drug you.
Then there was that unending buzz thrumming throughout the air. You chalked it up to the air vent in the corner of the room constantly pumping out a cool breeze, It was mostly so annoying because of how feint it was. Just barely audible, only heard if you stopped breathing, the incessant noise made your head hurt if you focused on it too long.
It was the day after Jason's confession, you'd gotten shit sleep and woken up rightfully grumpy, all grogginess vanished from your body the moment you registered multiple humans staring at you from the opposite side of the glass.
You shot up with a start, backing against the corner of the bed, nearly scaling the wall with how harshly you pressed against it. "It's okay- I- we didn't mean to scare you, I knew we should have waited shit- it's okay sweetheart."
"These assholes just had to meet you." He offered a look of sympathy as You tried to process the three other men currently gawking. "Get any sleep at all last night?" Jason asked breaking the small tense silence that had fallen over your group, he set down a steaming mug in a small box, a door on either side of the glass.
Gathering yourself as best as You could, tentative steps were taken, and before he could close his side you were yanking on your handle.
"Nice try beastie." Robin said nearly pushing Jason aside as he waltzed over with that fucking grin, "Only one side opens at a time so you'll have to think of another way to be annoying." His hand gripped the handle with white knuckle force, his teeth bared in a mockery of a smile.
Your dreams of grabbing the closest one by their jacket and slamming them into the glass were quickly crushed by the taller male, you took the chance to truly observe him as the last time you met he hid his face. He stood tall, arms crossed in a permanent expression of annoyance, most frustrating thing had to be how pretty he was, copper skin and thick dark lashes were far too nice for such a douche, his tone just as bitter and angry as the last time you heard it.
You stuck your tongue out relishing in the little victory that was his scowl deepening. Jason nudged the smaller man aside to ask once more, "You didn't sleep at all did you?" He seemed to be waiting for something, his face twisted into the most aggravating expression of care, you sighed through your nose and opened the small door, instantly the scent of cinnamon and dulce wafted in the small space, you glared over the cup as you took a long, obnoxiously loud sip.
"Yeah well sorry if I found it sorta' hard to sleep in a fucking box. I'm not used to being a pet." Taking in all four of the men before you was jarring, to say the least.
There was Jason, whose stare made you feel a whole complex cocktail of emotions you weren't nearly equipped to deal with yet, then the man who introduced himself as Dick Grayson, the most visibly eager to be there and the last face you remember seeing at Arkham before everything went black and you woke up here.
He gave a happy little finger wave when your gaze met his.
Tim probably shocked you the most. A bewildered "Pretty boy?" escaped your lips without thought as he nearly buckled from the sound. His face flushed a deep cherry red, lips began to tremble and he had to pinch his thigh in order to force his brain to start working again.
"Hi stranger, long time no see huh?" He gave an expression far too sheepish and charming for his position and shyly looked away, deep brown eyes unable to stay off of you for longer than a few seconds.
Robin stood in his usual get up only this time sans mask. His glare was pointed. Emerald eyes blazing at you from across the glass in a way that had a smirk tugging at your lips. Clearly, someone was still a little tender about your last meeting.
"How's the back?" You tilted your head in mock sympathy earning another heated glare from the vigilante. Without skipping a beat he replied,
"How's the monster?" Instantly wiping any traces of amusement from your form. You met his glare with your own and huffed through your nose in an effort not to throw something.
It seemed like a new day, you'd awoken with a plan brewing in your noggin, since three out of the four were acting like lovestruck idiots you'd treat em' like one, the cage was so well designed the only way out was one of them.
Currently, you laid on your bed, head dangling off the edge in an attempt to get your brain juices flowing, you knew logically the only way out was if you played their game, sure with V temporarily out of commission you'd have to do this the long way, but freedom would be yours again, that you knew.
As of right now, Jason was your best bet for escaping, you knew how protective he was and if you played your cards right he'd probably walk you out the door.
First things first, you needed to figure out how exactly they were keeping your not-so-little friend at bay, you couldn't leave here without getting V back.
Robin, as he refused to tell you his name, was smug when he spoke of it before, as if he knew you couldn't reach out to Venom. He was the key to finding out the how, granted he'd be a hard egg to crack so instead you focused on the puppy dog trapped as a man that was known as Dick Grayson.
Dick was a very intense person who never lost the grin on his face, no matter what you did he was cheesing like you'd handed him the world on a platter. He spent most of his time with you talking about all the things you'd do together once you finally "acclimated". All the ways he'd make up for "it", whatever that meant.
The way he looked at you- stared you down with that predatory gleam in his baby blues, made you feel grateful for the walls keeping him out. What really got under your skin was the way he spoke to you. As if you'd known each other for years as if he was your closest friend and not a man who you met for the first time when he'd broken you out of Arkham.
He also had this bad habit of speaking in "We's", no matter the fact that you rarely responded, no matter how little interest you showed, he never wavered in his enthusiasm.
"We can get out of the house as soon as B clears this stuff up with Penguin." He said one afternoon grabbing your interest. "There's nothing to clear up." You responded staring a hole into the wall, propped up against the side of the bed, you finally looked to meet his excited, longing stare with a blank one. He visibly lit up at the attention, sitting against the wall to mirror you.
"We're just trying to keep the bad guys off your back." His tone was sincere. As if he truly believed in his actions. You had to fight the urge to laugh at the irony of the statement. "You being dead serious right now?" He sat up straighter at the question, dark brows furrowing in seriousness. "As a heart attack Honey."
Brows twitching at the pet name, you interlocked your fingers and sighed, trying to correct him was a losing battle so instead, you switched tactics, if he wanted to talk you'd get him talking about the right stuff.
You made a noise of confusion before cocking your head ever so slightly. "See Jason I understand- what's your excuse for putting me in this boujee hamster cage? This gets you off or somethin'?" He huffed a laugh through his nose, his smile feeling a lot less threatening now, he almost looked like a human when he wasn't burning holes into you.
"God no, nothing like that." He trailed off, eyes nervously shuffling between you and anything else.
"I'm not sure you know much about Bludhaven, but it's sort of my jurisdiction." He began to look away, and his hands began rubbing up and down his crossed arms, a strangely vulnerable position for a man not locked up right now nevertheless- he looked guilty which, given the circumstances made sense but this seemed different.
"I'm in charge of keeping the people there safe. And the night you got- that night at the lab, I was too late to save you." Your eyes widened, shoulders squaring as you registered his words. He knew?
"And I can't forgive myself- not when you're going through what you are because of me." He'd begun chewing the tip of his thumb as he spoke, an anxious tick no doubt.
"I'm the reason you're in here- I couldn't protect you then but I can now. I will keep you safe, even from yourself." He stood to his full height, pressing his forehead against the glass as if he could go through if he pressed hard enough.
"One day you'll understand, I'm a patient man Honey so take all the time you need to accept this." He'd say it with such certainty as if he already knew you'd come around to being abducted by vigilantes.
Tim Drake was an enigma. He freaked you out the most. Something in his eyes was so chilling. He was the dangerous kind of smart which made your escape plan all the more difficult.
What rubbed you the wrong way about Tim was his uncanny ability to tell what was on your mind like he could tell what you were thinking, read between your lines, almost as if he was reading from a script.
"Your turn to babysit I take it?" You asked one day barely looking up from your book. You always knew it was him by the way he hummed as he unlocked the door. Surprisingly quiet, it almost shocks you when he plops down just outside where you're sitting, arms full of your lunch and some kind of high-tech tablet.
"Don't think of it like that-were just hanging out." He'd say from his seat, you could hear the smile in his voice whenever he spoke to you as if he couldn't be happier just being near you. He always had something with him when he came, be it a laptop, phone, or tablet the man was constantly tinkering. "You hang out with a lot of illegally detained people?" You asked hoping to gauge his reaction.
He laughed not looking up from his screen, he'd been furiously typing since he came in, almost like he was excited about something.
"C'mon you don't really care about the law- and besides," he flipped the tablet around to show you what he was doing, his finger slid across it rapidly scrolling through a morbid collage of every single person you'd eaten. Every drop of blood on your hands was on the screen and suddenly his smile felt a lot less friendly.
"I'm the only person in this house who knows who you really are. Not even Jason knows about all the bodies under your belt."
He placed the tablet on the floor the screen side down and began to toy with the strings of his hoodie. "I know everything, all the ugly stuff." He placed his finger on the glass, tracing an invisible heart, staring at the thick plexiglass as if unhappy with its enforced borders,
"And I want you all the same." He tilted his head, refusing to break the smoldering stare down you'd begun. "Do you think they will?"
You opened your mouth to respond but no words dared to come out, the chilling threat was said with such a calm smile it unnerved you to your core. Naturally, you spent the rest of his visit staring at him in horrified silence.
Robin, as he demanded you call him, was probably your favorite babysitter by far, because despite treating you as if you were the bane of his existence, and his near-constant demanded attention, he actually provided some sense of entertainment.
Being kept from Venom was taking a toll on your mental state, after all, you went from a constant companion to total silence, plus he wasn't acting weird like the other three, he wasn't making grand declarations like Jason or speaking to you as if you were the weird one for not being cool with their actions, like Dick, he didn't have some sketchy ulterior motive like Tim, he seemed to genuinely dislike you being there as much as you did.
Damian spent all of his time in your space poking and prodding, desperate for you to show your teeth again. If his taunts didn't get a reaction he'd move to belittle, then mock, and back and forth until he got you to look at him, sneer, glare, anything he wanted you to bare down on him like the animal you were.
"Don't tell me that thing was everything special about you-how utterly disappointing."
"Your mama's disappointing."
"She's an exceptional woman you swine-" your smug laughter would kill his words on his tongue and light that fire in his belly again, the same one he'd felt the night you first crossed paths. He knew fury at your smart mouth yes. But he was more excited you still had that fight in you. He intended to pull it to the surface. Your time with Damian was probably your favorite time of day simply because it broke up the weird Twilight zone world the other three lived in. You're never telling him that though.
Jason was the hardest one to be around, maybe because you still cared for him, either way, it all came to a head one day.
He'd tried countless times to speak with you, ranting, saying everything on his mind as a way to fill the crushing silence. But you were still too sore about it all to respond, no matter how desperate you were for the comfort you knew he'd provide, the wound was still raw.
This time would be different you decided. This time you'd do the steering.
Like clockwork he appeared, only this time with a pep in his step- and instead of a silver tray topped with an obnoxiously healthy meal, was a greasy brown bag.
"Snuck you in some good stuff." His voice did little to stir you from your concentration, the relaxed position you'd found yourself in was the hardest to maintain in his presence. He always matched you whenever it was his turn to babysit you. If you were standing he stood, if you were pacing he'd keep up from his side of the glass.
"Bruce thinks you should only have home-cooked shit- something about how unclean the average restaurant in Gotham is, I know the old man can throw down but this always cheered you up." He shook the bag, his half-hearted smile not reaching his eyes. "Breaks my heart when you don't eat sweetheart."
"Give V back to me and I'll eat." The response was far from what he wanted to hear but he did nearly jump at the sound of your voice being directed at him. You'd taken it the hardest with him, feeling the most betrayed. It had been days since you last graced him with your voice, he was mostly just happy you were speaking to him.
"I'm sorry about that. They didn't listen to me when I said to just leave it alone." He'd placed a paper bag lined with grease in the box they used to deliver food, taking a seat against the thick plexiglass dividing you. He toyed with his portion dejected, visibly searching his mind for the right words to placate you. "B is still deciding whether or not to give him back-"
"God, do you hear yourself? He's not some fucking toy I just-" you took a moment to calm down before taking an aggressive bite from the messy burger he'd given you. "You gotta see how fucked up this is right Jay?" You pleaded setting the food down with a defeated sigh, appetite quickly vanishing.
"I know you hate this- I know you hate me. I get it really, but you gotta believe me," he set his own food down to press both hands against the glass, that stare he gave threatened to burn you where you stood.
"I need you to know I'd never let anything happen to you- as fucked as that sounds coming from this side of the door- you're everything to me." His breath began to break towards the end of his sentence, his thick black lashes beaded with un-shed tears.
"Oh, Jason." Your voice was thick with everything unsaid in your body. "I couldn't hate you."
The gasp he choked out made your throat swell. But you forced your voice to be steady and sighed. Playing this the right way was everything if you wanted your plan to work. "I'm not eating because I can't." Toying with the edges of the soft shirt you had on helped sell the idea. Granted it wasn't a complete lie, V being absent was having an effect on you, your working theory was Jason would worry you right out of the way of whatever the hell was happening.
"I don't feel right Jay- Somethin' about being away from him like this-." You punctuated your words with a delicately placed hand on the glass where he rested. His shiver not going unnoticed.
"Venom isn't just something that happened to me- he needs me and I need him, when human bonds with a symbiote there are certain..things you need to do to stay alive."
"Just tell me." He begged eyes wide with a frenzy that chilled you. "Anything- I'll do whatever you need just tell me."
"You gotta give him back to me- I won't run. Not from you." His chest heaved with anticipation, waiting on your words. "I could keep you safe." He said more to himself than you. "I know I've done bad but I wasn't trying to."
"I don't care- whatever you did, whatever you will do, none of that matters to me. I just wanna keep you safe and happy."
"Then give him back." He rested a fist against the spot where your hands rested, eyes darkening with the thought. "Whatever you need. I don't care what I have to do to who. Just give me time, I have no idea what B is using but I'll find out for you." He seemed so eager to please.
A part of you ached for using his devotion in such a way but also these mother fuckers stole you and took your best friend. You steeled yourself to give him a smile,
"Thank you, Jay. For saving me."
He stared you down with such raw devotion and absoluteness it sort of scared you. "Anytime baby."
And with that, he was practically stomping out of the room.
Jason found himself buzzing from the interaction. He'd been torturing himself with the thought of you hating him for days. Every time you refused to meet his eye or worse when you did and looked at him with that expression of betrayal broke him a little more. He had resigned himself to it, surrendered to the idea that the price of your safety was your hate, and that he deserved nothing more than to be despised by the woman he breathed for.
But now he knows the truth- you couldn't hate him, you said it yourself, he knew you were just scared of the others, terrified of what the big bad bat would do to someone who didn't play by his rules. Jason could protect you from them all, and if the way to secure that future where it was just the two of you, as it always should have been, was to give you back the murderous alien? He was gonna find a way.
Tim watched Jason storm through the house from his room, a handful of screens decorated his wall, everyone having an image of you, one was a live wallpaper of all his favorite pictures you'd taken of yourself, and the others had every possible angle of your room. Naturally, he listened to everything you talked about with Jason, the anger twitching in his veins wasn't triggered by your little plan so much as it was by Jason being the one you went to. He thought showing you he knew what you were was a perfect way to show you he could be trusted but you go and do this?
Don't get him wrong Tim knows Jason cares about you, but he also knows he's smarter than him and could easily press a button that would jam the frequency keeping your symbiote dormant. Bruce had figured the concept out by tracking down the data from the lab, the researchers used high-pitched sounds to keep the aggressive aliens in line. He modified their tones to something that wouldn't hurt you, but keep you from your little friend until he deemed you fit, if ever.
See Tim saw right through Bruce, the older man claimed he was doing this for the betterment of the world but he was just as infatuated by you as the rest of them, he liked having power, especially over someone as strong as you were, and he knew if you didn't pass his tests, Bruce would never give your abilities back. Tim pouted to himself for a few minutes before a lightbulb went off and he realized he could get brownie points with you and throw Bruce under the bus if he caught Jason before he got tired of searching and started shooting.
He bolted up out of his seat to cut Jason off before he confronted Bruce. Tim all but sailed down the stairs nearly knocking into Alfred. He sprinted until he caught sight of Jason in the elevator, hand on his pistol. Tim threw himself through the doors just before they closed and grabbed the hand holding the gun in an iron grip.
"If you go down there like this Bruce will win and you'll never see her again." Jason easily broke the hold and took to using the barrel to hold Tim against the wall by his throat. "You wanna' say that again Timbo?"
Tim licked his bottom lip and threw his hands up in surrender. "I'm just saying- I know what you're trying to do and if you fail now, Bruce can take her somewhere none of us can get to." Jason's sneer fell a bit as he considered his words. He dropped him with a grunt and quickly holstered his weapon. "You got a better idea I take it?" Tim rolled his neck and thumbed at the red mark with a look of pure irritation. "Of course I do, I'm not you after all."
Bruce was semi-surprised to see the two of them enter the cave where he currently sat going over a case the commissioner had given him. "What's going on?" He asked looking over his glasses, his hands still working as he turned his attention to his two sons.
"Something gotta' be wrong to pay you a visit old man?"
Jason's foul mood was less volatile now, more like his usual brand of bitterness whenever he spoke to Bruce, so the older man didn't question the hostility.
While they did that awkward tango in the cave. Dick was in his room busying himself with learning more about you. Sure he had all the files and raw data, but he didn't know you, not in the way he wanted to. Yeah, he could wait for you to open up on your own time (which he knows is inevitable) but he's never been a patient man.
He bought a copy of every book you have, all the albums that you listened to most, and he even had one of your oversized hoodies on, he'd bought bottles of your perfume to spray around his room so it always felt as if you were just in there.
Dick lay on his bed surrounded by books with different tabs marked, he was taking notes of the things you might be interested in conversation-wise, his blissed-out expression was almost permanent when he thought of you, of all the things you'd get to do together once you came around. He knew it was a long shot but the idea of fighting with you side by side one day was way too appealing not to try and make reality- all in due time he thought to himself if he closed his eyes he could feel you laying beside him, reading something with his head in your lap.
Damian stood still as a statue outside your door. Glaring at the metal as if it had personally offended him, You didn't know it but he found himself there quite often. If anyone ever caught him he'd say something along the lines of making sure their prisoner had no chance of escaping but deep down, he just wanted to go in there. Whenever it was his time to "bond" with you as his father so eloquently put it, he spent the night before buzzing in his bed, the kind of excitement from being a kid the day before a field trip, where all you can think about is getting to be there.
Despite his sour face he genuinely enjoyed every second with you, sure you two did nothing but talk shit but it still gave him that electrifying fiery feeling he got the first time you two did this little dance.
Each man was eager to prove themselves to you in some way or another, and even though you were the one in a cage, you held the most power in the house, you just haven't realized it yet.

The Unexpected
Merry Pitchmas @anotherbechloeshipper! Kind of wild that I've gotten you for this more than once now, but happy holidays Amy!!
The unexpected. That was, by its very nature, what Beca was never quite prepared for. She, in her late teens and now early 20s, outwardly portrayed herself as a pretty chill person- someone who rolls with the punches as easily as they breathe. But the truth is that Beca wants nothing more than to be prepared in any situation outside of music. She hates when things are out of her control, but she’s learning, more and more, that sometimes the unexpected can be better than any scenario she could have expected or even planned for.
After many months at Barden, nearing the holidays to be specific, she had not only joined an acapella group, like seriously?, but made rather close bonds with two of the members. Namely one of her captains, Chloe Beale, and perhaps the most unexpected one, fellow freshman Stacie Conrad. While Chloe had made it her mission to befriend her, Stacie had been more of a silently acquired friendship that neither of them outwardly spoke of. Over the course of about a month, Stacie and Beca both learned, slowly but surely, that they both, quite frequently, get told that they are not anything like what people expect of them based on their looks. The two grew quite close rather quickly, the friendship starting with knowing looks when someone made comments regarding them to outwardly defending each other to outsiders. This strange relationship, while unexpected, proved its worth in spades during all the nights spent together studying, venting, and sharing things about themselves that they haven’t with others.
Beca’s relationship with Chloe was different than the one she had with Stacie. There was a… tension between her and Chloe. Beca honestly didn’t want to admit to herself what the tension was, despite knowing very clearly what it was, before she accidentally mentioned it to Stacie one night and had to face the facts. She has a giant toner for Chloe. In turn, after seeing how uncomfortable the admission had made Beca, Stacie admitted to her own toner for none other than Chloe’s best friend, Aubrey Posen. Beca’s face had scrunched in distaste before relaxing, shrugging and saying “I mean, yeah I can see you two working,” and that was that.
Beca is snapped, literally, out of her musing by Aubrey’s hand in her face.
“Earth to ear monstrosities! Did you hear any of what I just said?”
“Ear monstrosities to ground control, what the hell do you want now?” Beca says, doing her best imitation of an astronaut, earning her a few laughs from the Bellas.
“Haha. Very funny. We were divvying up responsibilities for the Chrsitm-Apella party. The Trebles are hosting, so they are in charge of-” Beca mostly focuses on the conversation after Chloe winks at her, forcing her to focus on literally anything to try and stop her face from getting as red as Santa’s suit. She looks at her phone as she receives a notification and swears under her breath.
“Sorry to dip, but Luke is sick and asked me to run the station for the night.” She says as she gathers her stuff, leaving the auditorium after getting nods from Chloe and Aubrey. After they finish, Aubrey takes it upon herself to visit the station to let Beca know what she is responsible for in regards to the party, Stacie chasing after her.
“Hey, I’ll walk with you, I’m headed this way anyway,” Stacie says with a smile. They walk in comfortable silence until they reach the station. Aubrey glances around, not having been there before, while Stacie walks right in, greeting the girl at the front by name. Aubrey follows her with a slight frown.
“You know her?”
“Yeah, I come here and hang out with Bec pretty often, so,” Stacie responds.
“Oh,” Aubrey responds, a little cold. Before Stacie can comment, the two of them hear Jesse loudly talking to someone they can’t see.
“No, dude, it’s for sure gonna work! All I gotta do is get Beca under the mistletoe and kiss her, then she’ll totally fall for me,” he says, gesturing wildly. Aubrey glances at Stacie, as if waiting for a response. All Stacie does is huff a little laugh and shake her head.
“Are you not going to say anything to that?” Aubrey asks incredulously. Stacie raises an eyebrow.
“No? I know he doesn’t have a chance with her, no matter what he does. Actually, it might be funny if he tries that, Beca will probably punch him,” she says with another little laugh. Jesse continues lamenting to whoever he was talking to, and Aubrey stomps over.
“Hey! Have a little respect, would you? Even I know that Beca has rejected your advances before, no means no! Not to mention that she’s in a relationship!” She interjects at Jesse, startling him.
“Huh? You don’t know anything about it, Aubrey, she doesn’t even like you! And what do you mean relationship?”
“Her and Stacie!”
“What?!” Jesse yells and Stacie asks simultaneously.
“Ok, Aubrey has a point, Beca is absolutely not into you, but that’s not why. Beca and I are totally just friends,” she clarifies quickly.
“Wait, what? But, Chloe and I thought you were together, that’s why neither of us ever-” Aubrey cuts herself off suddenly. Stacie, sensing her embarrassment, pulls her away from Jesse to continue the conversation.
“That’s why you and Chloe never what?” She presses. Aubrey groans, putting her face in her hands.
“Well, I mean… we thought we were respecting your relationship by not… making a move on either of you…” she trails off, glancing at Stacie to gauge her reaction. Stacie grins salaciously.
“Oh? And who were you going to be making a move on?” Aubrey stutters, her face getting redder every second before muttering a ‘you,’ making Stacie’s grin grow. “Well, that works just fine for me. That gives me an idea, though.” Brushing some of Aubrey’s hair behind her ear, Stacie leans in close and whispers her plan. Aubrey, through her embarrassment, nods her agreement.
“Perfect. I’ll see you Friday, then, pretty girl,” Stacie says with a wink before turning to head toward the booth, Aubrey getting a breath of whatever shampoo Stacie uses as she goes, managing to turn and leave without falling over like a lovestruck teenager. Stacie, for her part, barges right into the booth and sits on the table, waiting for Beca to turn to her, as per their usual.
“Aubrey said you’re in charge of cups. Said ‘there’s no way she can fuck that up.’ But also, there’s this Italian place I’ve been meaning to try, so you’re coming with me Friday.”
“Alright, whatever,” Beca responds with an easy shrug, hanging out with Stacie isn’t unusual.
“And dress up a bit, its a little fancier than the usual places we go.” That makes Beca raise an eyebrow, to which Stacie just says to trust her. Again, Beca shrugs, then turns back to the task at hand.
Friday night, Beca finds herself outside Stacie’s dorm. Walking right in, Beca finds Stacie dressed to kill in a blue cocktail dress and black stilettos. Beca lets out a low whistle.
“Damn, Stace. Am I underdressed?” She asks, referring to her own button up and nice jeans with a pair of pumps. Stacie shakes her head.
“No, that should be good, you look hot.” Beca laughs as the two of them head out. They call an Uber and Stacie takes the opportunity to drop a bomb on Beca.
“So, we’re going on a double date,” she says casually. Beca’s head snaps over so fast her hair smacks Stacie.
“We’re what?!” She hisses, acutely aware of the fact that the driver is definitely listening to the gossip.
“I said what I said, Beca. We’re meeting some people there for a double date.” Beca’s eye twitches at how blase she is about this. “And before you ask, no, I won’t tell you who.” Both her eyes shut then as she lets out a long breath before resting her head against the back of the seat, fully resigned to her fate. Upon arriving at the restaurant, Beca trudges behind Stacie like a kid on the way to the doctor.
“Lighten up, would you,” Stacie says as she opens the door for them. Beca merely smiles sarcastically. “Hi, we’re meeting someone. The name should be Posen.” Beca’s head snaps up when Stacie tells the hostess that. Wait, Posen? That means that Aubrey is one of the people they’re meeting? Then… could the second person be-
“Hi, you look beautiful,” Stacie greets Aubrey when they get to the table. Beca’s brain short circuits when Stacie sits next to Aubrey, leaving her to sit next to Chloe, who looks like an actual angel in her green dress. Chloe is also stunned looking at Beca, but snaps out of it quicker to look over at Aubrey while Beca manages to sit.
“Bree! What is going on?”
“Well, funny story… When I went to the radio station to see Beca the other day, that obnoxious Treble was talking up a storm about how he was going to woo Beca, and I stormed over there to tell him how disrespectful it was of him to ignore Beca’s relationship like that…”
“My relationship?” Beca asks confusedly.
“Right, so, Chloe and I were under the impression that you and Stacie were together,” Aubrey clarifies before continuing her story. “Stacie reacted about the same as you, only, well, I may have said more than I intended to.”
“Wait, so you’re not together?” Chloe asks, gesturing between Stacie and Beca.
“Absolutely not. No offense, B. I’ve got my eye on someone else,” she says, winking at Aubrey, who promptly turns red.
“That means that it would be okay for me to ask you out on a date then, right?” Chloe asks, turning to look at Beca while biting her lip nervously.
“I- wha- you want to- I mean yeah,” Beca stutters, face now matching Aubrey’s.
“Virgins, the lot of you,” Stacie mutters under her breath, earning a gentle swat from Aurbrey. “I already told you it was a double date, Beca,” she says playfully.
“Just because you said so doesn’t mean that's what she wants,” Beca says quickly.
“It is,” Chloe says, grabbing Beca’s hand in her own. “What I want, I mean. I want it to be a date.”
“Me too,” she responds shyly, squeezing Chloe’s hand with a smile.
Once again, Beca has been presented with proof that your life, no matter how hard you may try, is never fully in your control, for everyone else is free to make their own decisions, which can throw a wrench in your plans. Whether for better or for worse. Though, it seems for Beca, all she’s been getting have been bonuses and upgrades. When she was shipped out to Georgia for school, she had planned on going one year and leaving, planned on spending as little time with her father as possible, planned on making absolutely no ties so that when the year was up she could reemerge from where she had firmly planted her head in the sand focused on her music. And yet, what she got was a renewed relation with her father, a group of girls that are quickly worming their way into her heart, a best friend who will be with her through thick and thin, and, apparently, love.
“Just because Chloe’s head over heels for you doesn’t mean you can change the setlist,” Aubrey says.
Well. Maybe not everything is unexpected.

I just watched Pop Culture Detectives critique as superheroes as reactionary and defending the status quo and villains as disruptors (even when their goals are wrong and authoritarian), and I think it did a fine job summing up the MCU, but I think it would lose something when if you’re doing a conversation outside that specific focus if you don’t acknowledge that there’s very significant times that WASN’T the case in early superhero comics.
For example, several early Superman comics have him actively disrupting society. He wasn’t a friend of the law early on. He destroys an entire “slum” and forces the government to rebuild better housing, and the police come after him for this.
He infiltrates a prison to expose its systemic abuse of prisoners.
He forces war profiteers to experience the terror of war firsthand until they stop.
But as the tweet thread I linked notes, this stops. Modern Superman often states he can’t interfere in wars because humanity has to sort out their own conflicts, that he can’t use his power against systemic issues because what if he becomes the power hungry god imposing his will on humanity? It’s interesting some comics posit that if Superman was more active about social change, he’s become the ‘invader’ Lex Luthor says he is. Especially if you consider Superman’s roots as an immigrant allegory, which makes it come off like he has to avoid being too disruptive or he’ll be labeled a ‘bad immigrant’.
There’s sometimes callbacks to the roots of Superman still, like the issue where he fights that cop probably (I was out of comics by the time that happened) but of course it’s pretty absent from the movies.
It’s also worth noting that Clark Kent is an investigative reporter (often exposing the crimes of billionaire CEO) which is an inherently disruptive job. PCD mentions that heroes do tend to be creative in their civilian identities but says it doesn’t seem to connect much to their superhero selves, but I don’t think you can separate Clark Kent the reporter from his superhero activity, because they’re often closely tied together, I mean he literally took the job so he could get leads as Superman.
Then there’s Wonder Woman, who was definitely a disruptor in her early incarnation. She was absolute here to spread Marston’s idea of feminism and have others follow her. She wanted to make more Amazons. She wanted a society where women had power. She would literally take her female villains and introduce them to the pleasures of femdom and BDSM reform them, convert them to her ideology, get them to join her ranks. The comic was CERTAINLY reactionary in other ways, and Marston’s feminism was flawed, but he wrote the comic explicitly because he was hoping for social disruption, that Wonder Woman would be the building block in the utopia he envisioned.
And there was some of that in SOME modern WW comics when I was into them- I was drawn to Greg Rucka’s Wonder Woman because there was a huge emphasis on the fact she’s an ambassador for her culture, and diplomat actively working to change the world, someone who’s seeking social reform and has an ideology. However, it is true that even those comics were mostly about her reacting to threats in her superhero life. (And then in the movie’s that’s entirely absent- feminism isn’t bought up, she goes into hiding rather than mounting a social justice campaign.)
And then on the Marvel side of things. Cap fighting Hitler actually didn’t reflect the status quo of America when it came out. In-universe it did to a degree, because America had entered the war in the universe of the comic, therefore Cap was doing patriotism, but out of universe America HADN’T entered the war yet and it was controversial to take the stance we were definitely going to and sauy Hitler was bad. We all know the story of nazi-sympathizers coming to harass the creators and Jack Kirby declaring he would fight them. So there’s a very interesting dichotomy there!
Anyway, it’s interesting to see this discussion because it’s definitely a very minor theme in my own book about a girl who becomes a supervillain. Look forward to that, I guess!

This is... a Becquerel.
That energy is unmistakable. This is a troll, or possibly a human, who has been spliced with the MEOW code, creating a being with Bec’s powers, and what seems to be a devious, intelligent mind.
And that mind has been tasked with the destruction of the universe.
He also seems to be located in the Intermission’s manor. The guy doesn’t just share an employer with the Felt - he’s their missing cueball.
He might not fit the Lord English coat, but he’s certainly higher in the power hierarchy than any Felt member we’ve seen before - I’d like to see Slick try to kill this guy.
You try to be the white text guy, but fail to be the white text guy. No one can be the white text guy except for the white text guy.
Is this the first time a character has been completely immune to the comic's ‘commands’? I know Dave resisted one, and John resisted WV, but this is a Hussie-submitted reader command, which feels like a bigger deal.
The white text guy is known as Doc Scratch.
Sounds like a DJ. Well, he’s dressed in all white, so maybe he’s an actual doctor - a researcher, or laboratory scientist.
His intelligence isn’t a ruse, I’m pretty sure. This guy is legitimately a brainbox, which makes me wonder if that’s the MEOW code at work. If it is, just how much does Bec really know?
He is an officer of an indestructible demon known as Lord English. His job is to pave the way for the arrival of his master, who will be summoned upon the termination of the universe. He has worked at this task for many centuries, and will continue to do so until THE GREAT UNDOING.
This is mostly just a confirmation of what I’ve already suspected. It’s notable, though, that unlike the billion-year-old Bec, Doc Scratch seems to have existed for mere centuries. I guess there’s no reason the Frog Temple can’t have been deposited that recently.
Scratch is Alternia's FIRST GUARDIAN. Every planet destined for intelligent life has such an entity meant to protect it, and facilitate the planet's ultimate purpose. A first guardian is typically almost as old as the planet itself, and each has a unique, circuitous origin through the knots of paradox space. They can be born into a great diversity of forms, though they all share a common, especially potent genetic sequence. The code grants them near omnipotence, and when merged with a host of great intelligence, near omniscience as well.
This, however, is one of the densest infodumps in the entire comic. Allow me to summarize:
Every planet that will ever have intelligent life, will also have a First Guardian. They’re usually deposited on the planet shortly after its creation.
Every First Guardian is created in a different way, but they all come into being through ‘the knots of paradox space’, which I’m interpreting to mean that they’re all created through time travel.
First Guardians do not have a set appearance, but they all have DNA - and their DNA always contains the MEOW sequence.
MEOW grants them what is dubiously described as ‘near omnipotence’. We know they at least get teleportation, size shifting, portals, enhanced speed and immortality.
Provided the genetic base is sufficiently intelligent, it also grants them extreme clairvoyance. The implication seems to be that Becquerel does not possess this trait.
First Guardians are supposed to facilitate their planet’s ‘purpose’. This purpose is not specified, but seems to require intelligent life.
That’s what we’re told, but there’s also a chilling implication here, hidden slightly under the surface.
Bec was created in a Veil facility seemingly designed to create him, and the code used to do so was implanted in a Player. Plus, these things are created by time manipulation, which is Sburb’s bread and butter. First Guardians seem to be closely tied to Sburb, even if they’re not formally ‘game constructs’.
A First Guardian is spawned on every world with intelligent life. In other words, they show up on every world that will develop the tech to run Sburb.
It sounds a lot like a planet’s ‘ultimate purpose’ is to generate Sburb sessions.
A First Guardian is the first symptom of your planet’s doom.

FIONNA(My Take) - PART I
I keep seeing all these takes and complaints about Fionna's body type. So to destress, I'll just put my own take here. These are from observations, research, etc. as well!
First I'll put out some screenshots of how Natasha draws Fionna.
If you're wondering why her waist goes in despite being chubby; Thats because she's pear/ plum chubby. Notice how compared to the other Plus characters, her upper body is thinner and its much closer to the thin characters upper builds, albeit she has slightly thicker arms and broader shoulders (implying some of the chubbiness went there too).
Now notice how her lower body is closer to the plus characters lower builds since the skinny AT characters are shown to have noodly legs. NOODLY = NORMAL AVERAGE LEGS
That's why her waist is still small(her upper body is much smaller than her lower in comparison to the other Plus AT Characters), and also why her chubs only show when she bends or sits, because most of the "chubbiness" is below her waist and some on her shoulder and arms so they don't look noodly.
This is how Natasha and the crew draw Fionna as well,(its pretty obvious when you observe enough to see) and you can tell how her body construction is different from the other plus characters. She's meant to be a different chubby body type.
Her stomach chubs are mostly noticeable only when she bends or sits. These are some plus characters in comparison to her as well.
Finn and Fionna are not an actual variant of each other. They contrast each other, adult finns build(both farm and OG) are inverted triangle while fionna is triangle/ pear. Natasha mentioned how Fionna was merely inspired by Finn but is not an actual Finn genderbend. This info was also implemented when Prismo mentioned how he had subconsciously inspired Fionna and Cake from Finn and Jake.
Women tend to develop at the ripe age of teenage years(12/14 above), most of my fellow teens at the time did so, including myself.
Even I gained a chest in 5th grade, I was 9-10 at the time.
Curves shouldn't even be sexualized in the first place to begin with, theyre naturally there, whether its very noticeable or just slight. Even with thin characters like PB and Marcy, their curves were still there.
For Fionna who is pear/ triangle shaped chubby, the curves would of course be more noticeable because of this body type.
Fat distribution works differently for both sexes(you can search that up via Google)
Fionna is Bunny-inspired, merely an OC of Natasha who is inspired by Finn. She is not a version of Finn. (Ex; Peridot was inspired by Invader Zim)
Fionna being bunny inspired, has bunny-like features. Bunnies are built with strong thick legs or lower bodies as their defense.
If people are complaining about her design. Think of Flame Princess, her build is closely similar to Fionnas, and yet her gender-bend Flame Prince is built differently as well.
Young Fionna was already 14-16 at the time of introduction. At this age, most girls are already closely physically matured. (Highschool already proves that if you observe the girls ages 14 and up, some even develop at an early age believe it or not)
Fionna simply matured earlier as women mature earlier but then their maturing stops at a certain point. While men mature slower physically but then suddenly gains a growth spurt later in life so while their growth is stunted at first, it happens fast when theyre at a certain age.
Like how Finn would look the same till 16, only taller, but most likely after his growth spurt, he becomes the finn we see in the spin offs, combined with his adventuring lifestyle.
Fionna looks the same, just with a thicker mass, because her growth happened early but stopped after she'd reached the physical maturing endpoint for women.
Different body types exist. AT had these, it just so happens that most of the recurring characters were thin, like PB and Marcy.
The similarity with Apple Chubby is that both still gain some fat on their shoulders and arms because again, any type of chubby still has distributed fat in this area cause they're still slightly overweight. The difference is that; Besides their arms and shoulders, other parts of the body fat distribution went elsewhere. For Apple, it is most apparent on their waist and stomach, then a little on their legs, etc.
For Pear, there's a slight stomach chub that is apparent when one bends, kneels, or squeezes. But the majority has been distributed below their waist(Hips, leg, thigh, etc).

i think the fell xenologue does a great job at characterizing some of the royals beyond the vanilla game mostly because every single royal has like one or two core principles that really make them who they are and so getting rid of those one or two things completely converts them into a completely different person. like alcryst losing his self doubt, celine loses her empathy, hortensia loses her resilience, etc etc. but i think my favorite version of this has to be fogado, who has in my opinion the most drastic change. i think all of the other royals have very outward presenting traits that you can easily catch onto and see theyve lost. but fogado is just a little different, because what fell fogado lacks isnt really a trait; he loses his sense of love. (rest under the cut bc it turned into an essay. my bad also fell xenologue spoilers obvs)
“our” fogado (?? idk how to differentiate between them. work with me here) is not an easy person to read in universe. he makes it very clear in chapter 13 that he’s pretty good at deception and is very willing to make use of that skill. his supports with timerra and pandreo also tell us he’s gotten used to keeping up a specially crafted persona meant to kind of suppress his feelings (that timerra and pandreo can see through but. like 1. theyre smart 2. sister and bff ok moving on). but he doesn’t do it out of malice or because he just likes being tricky, he lies because he loves. everything in fogado’s life is shaped by what he loves: his country, his friends, and his sister. every single motivation he has is fueled by this: the constant partying, how often he leaves the castle, all his acting. its even in his goddamn class name (cupido) and birthday (feb 14) if you needed the game to spell it out for you
so thats why when we get to the fell xenologue, the fogado we meet is changed in that one specific way: his love is gone. we know this because of a few things, the first of which is that he is honest. aside from the robe (in which he is assassinating someone! but also. lets be so honest with ourselves here. you can see his fucking face) he’s immediately upfront with his intentions: he wants the bracelets, he wants power, and he wants you to die. and thats it. he just kind of hands you that information, and then fucks off when you win. on what earth would our fogado do that? dude wouldnt even tell you if he broke his leg, he just partied a little hard last night. but thats just it isnt it? our fogado lies because he loves people, hes protecting them. fell!fogado is transparent because he’s not protecting anyone, he doesn’t care.
but the biggest kicker in fell!fogado’s lack of love is in his interaction with our timerra. our fogado loves his sister more than anything, as he literally plans his entire life around making HER life easier. he sacrifices even just spending time with her just because he needs to make sure hes fully prepared to keep her safe (not that timerra wants that for him but he doesnt really get that. which is another topic i could dive into but this post is long enough lets not make it a novel). fell!fogado though? well you see–
any love fogado holds for his sister, or any love at all really, is just not present in fell!fogado. and you could say that maybe its just because of the corruption, but then why do we still see love between the fierenese and brodian siblings? even fell!timerra still loves her brother if her conversation with our fogado is anything to go off of. but the writers know that fogado lives and dies on his love for people, its his entire being and so much more so than the rest of the cast. which is why thats what had to change in him for the fell xenologue. it wasnt really just a flip of the switch haha murder thing (though. it could have been handled better. lets be real) but it was the loss of everything that makes fogado him. and i think the fact that this gets to be highlighted in the dlc just makes base game fogado all that much more interesting, because it cements his motivation now that we know what he's like without it. fogado is a guy driven by love and its just fucking great
#fe fogado#ann gets engaged#im not really sure what compels me to type up gigantic rambles in the middle of the night but. whatever#anyways so next up on the agenda: my argument for why hes aroace—#ok kidding bc thats purely headcanon and has nothing to do with fogados motivations but cmon. let a girl dream.#anyways when i first started typing this out it was supposed to be like. four sentences about me liking the contrast between the fogados#whoops!#my hand mustve slipped#but idk i just like. i like talking about fogado bc i feel like not enough people really do#and like theres discussion about him but its usually either shipping stuff or unit viability#both of which are valid! its just that in those discussions fogado as a character takes a backseat#which is j such a shame bc. grerahhekkdke hes sooo compelling. im putting him in my washing machine#oh and then theres the racism in the fandom but. wow. fe fans and racism noooo way. so shocked#/s if that wasnt obvious#and THEN if there is discussion about him as a person theres like 50% chance its j ‘oh hes claude 2’#which i have already expressed my frustration about as i love both of them and theyre j. so not the same.#but people assume bc they know claude they know fogado and thats just not true. its so not true.#whatever im not trying to make the tags longer than the post i just think fogado is neat :)#engage fav? yeah. top 10 fe character? ykw. probably#ok goodnight

PLA Arceus’ Chosen AU
More info (its a lot):
Giratina was able to escape the distortion world on it’s own, appearing in the land of Hisui when PLA takes place. It attempts to distort space and time, trying to lure Arceus out and defeat it’s creator for punishing Giratina, much like Volo’s plan in the original story. Arceus knows it can’t let the even smallest chance of losing to it, as it would most likely mean the end of the universe. It can not have it’s other two spawns, Dialga and Palkia, fight Giratina as they were put into frenzies due to the distortion of space and time. It decides it needed a human and their pokemon to attempt to defeat Giratina. However, the people of that time weren’t experienced trainers or even got along with pokemon very well. So, it decides to pull people from the future who Arceus deemed worthy to defeat Giratina.
Adaman was the first person to be brought to Hisui. His past life was nothing special, he was in his last year of college studying history when he was taken. It caused him to leave behind dearly beloved friends and family, but he knew this matter was no important. His team wasn’t the strongest he came to realize, he would need to train them. Catch new pokemon perhaps. Maybe get himself a bit stronger. He did so much to delay his adventure, wanting to be as strong as possible before going up against a literal god. However, Arceus had noticed Adaman wasn’t making progress for a long time, it worried Adaman wasn’t up to it. So, Arceus took away the glowing gold symbol on Adaman’s shoulder signalling its abandonment, leaving a deep scar in it’s place. To insure Adaman wouldn’t spread the word, and change history in a way that could be detrimental, Arceus took every single one of his memories and left him in Hisui so he wouldn’t be roaming his original time with nothing. And took his beloved pokemon just in case.
Volo was the second person, having lived not the best life before. He had a cheap apartment shared with someone he didn’t like, working in retail to get by. It wasn’t the best. Whenever he was chosen by Arcues to quell Giratina, it was a blessing to him. Not only could he be important to the universe, but he was correct about Arceus being the universe’s creator. He was right about Dialga, Palkia, Giratina. It gave him pride. He gathered a pretty powerful team, and he felt confident. However as time got nearer to approaching Giratina, thoughts swarmed his head. What else could he have been right about? Was he right about everything? What would happen once he had won? Would he have a throne next to the god he worshiped dearly? Would he be able to control the world as he pleased? Perhaps even recreate it into a new, better world? These thoughts were infested in his head, so much so it slowly pushed him to madness. Arceus saw this as a terrible sign, and before Volo could even fight Giratina, Arceus abandoned Volo. Left him in Hisui to be alone in his corrupted mind. Arceus taking Volo’s memories for safety did help him stop many of those thoughts at least. However, despite the god taking most of his memories and pokemon away, Volo can remember mostly everything that happened in Hisui. Especially that the god he loved left him to rot.
Irida was the third, taken from her very nice life with well liked family and friends. She would admit she was a little privileged as well. She was taken once she started her 2nd year of college, and was a bit unhappy her life could be ruined by this. Nevertheless, she adventures through Hisui to do what Arceus had asked. Unlike the other two, she made friends with several people in Hisui. People she could rely on if things went south. She thought it would be helpful if maybe she took others with her to defeat Giratina so that there would be no chance of defeat. However, as she explained to these people this plan and what her purpose was, Arceus abandoned her. People knowing about this could change history in a way that could create a paradox, and she wouldnt even be there because of it. So, it stripped her, and the others involved, of their memories. It was hard for them to return to a life they didnt remember, but they could do nothing else. Irida would feel bad if she remembered what she did.
The 4th chosen was actually a set of two people, Ingo and Emmet. They were already terribly strong trainers, and having two people attempting to fight Giratina should guarentee success. The brothers genuinely have a great time on this quest. Fighting dangerous pokemon, traveling across a new land, getting to see history take place, its very interesting. Nothing like what they were used to, but they could do this. They had eachother. However, they weren’t as experienced with physical fighting than pokemon battles. I mean, they basically stood unmoving on a train car all day. Eventually, they came across a dangerous Alpha pokemon. They didn’t have enough time to pull their pokemon out before the Alpha struck at Emmet. Ingo couldn’t patch him up in time, he had to have a pokemon battle to defeat the Alpha to insure they would be safe enough to help Emmet. By the time the Alpha fainted, Emmet was unmoving on the ground. And so, Arceus abandoned them. Ingo has no reccolection of what happened. He doesn’t know what his life was like before he woke up with no memories. And yet, he can’t help but constantly grieve for the death of his brother he doesn’t even exists.
Dont worry, theres a LOT more to this. We’re just getting started

its a good thing i can draw more or less at will bec i wouldnt be able to make this a Profession if i drew the way i write.
writing is like being possessed and i just get forced into opening google docs and banging out 2k words in 3 hours and then being incapable of writing anything else for 6 months.
(also yeah 2k words isnt a lot but considering there was no prior draft of any kind like not even a rough idea of whats going to happen/ where its going to go it is pretty reasonable- its truly just a one liner and writing start to finish and figuring it out as you go for me. which is psychotic.)
(god i used to write in high school and a bit in college, but hen it was mostly structured academic shit which was very meticulously planned)
#the holy grail is when the two meet and i make comics#but tbh at requires stars to align and like a blood sacrifice i feel like

What are your thoughts on episode 7 of Chaser Game W and the direction the show is taking? Personally, I think it's a pity that we are not getting any scenes where Itsuki and Fuyu discuss their relationship and where they are standing. On a positive note, it was great to hear Fuyu say the word "lesbian" and, even if Itsuki didn't say it herself, her friend (I can't remember his name now) said she was a lesbian, too.
mmm i can't complain too much about the story and its direction bec the show is just a little over 20 mins across 8 episodes and im mostly satisfied with what they did with what they had
that said, i also would've wanted more introspection on both itsuki and fuyu and maybe a define-the-relationship conversion between them as well but based on the next ep preview i think they're gonna save that talk as the dramatic climax of the finale
i also didn't expect them to say the actual word either so i was happy they did! but i couldn't help but laugh at the lightning effect tho aldkjfkdlsd poetic cinema istg
i don't doubt i'll enjoy the finale tho, i had no expectations for this show, i just saw the "ex gfs to enemies to lovers again" concept and its about adults!! and watched it immediately and yet i've really enjoyed it so far, the characters and the dynamic between them were pretty good, hell i even enjoy the b plot
anyways, i wish all of us a satisfying chaser game w finale next week!!

My Review of Foul Heart Huntsman by Chloe Gong
See a full list of my book reviews here
*Disclaimer: there will be spoilers later on in the review*
Review Word Count, non-spoiler: 697 Review Word Count Total: 1,480
After a year of waiting, we finally got the sequel to Foul Lady Fortune, and of course I need to scream about it in a long form way even though I’ve been screaming about it all week through various posts. I preordered the book on Apple Books (not sponsored), so I got it at exactly 12:00 a.m. EDT and I read it in a little over day because I have no self-control. Did it cause me to get behind in work? Yes, but that’s neither here nor there.
Moving on! Foul Heart Huntsman picks back up after the plot twisty events of Foul Lady Fortune with Rosalind dealing with not only her identity as the nationalist spy Fortune being exposed and Orion’s absence after he was captured by his mother and his memories wiped. She grapples with how to get him back after her identity is exposed, a task that is near impossible, but under the guise of a national tour meant to inspire unity in the countryside, she manages to make it out of Shanghai to try and find Orion. But when the tour goes wrong, she must rely on old adversaries to save Orion and all of China from his mother’s chemical invention and potential foreign invasion.
I will admit I am a little (or maybe a lot) biased since the entire Secret Shanghai series has become one of my favorites in this last year, especially the Foul Lady Fortune duology, so my thoughts on this book are mostly positive. I love Chloe Gong’s writing style so much so that I, someone that doesn’t highlight or annotate books, started highlighting my favorite quotes. There were tons of truly poetic lines in the book as well as its fair share of humor and just strong emotions in general. I was honestly amazed as to how one person could capture so many distinct genres in one book so beautifully and also tell such a compelling story at the same time.
One of my favorite parts of this book was that despite Rosalind being the main character we get to see story arcs for pretty much every other relevant character, they all change in different ways during the events of the book which was super entertaining to read. Without spoiling anything I will say Pheobe’s arcs was one of my favorites as she grows up quite a bit throughout the course of the book and it probably near the top of the list when it comes to trauma and internal issues resolved.
My main complaint with this book is just how quickly we jump from one plot point to another. I understand it was something that had to happen as there was a lot to cover but not enough material for a third book, which I’m grateful that isn’t the direction that Chloe took us, but it still was a bit intense. There were multiple times I had to just put down the book since I got overwhelmed with the sheer number of things happening at once, but I would rather have this than a drawn-out book just to create a third one. Because of this there were multiple points in the book where things were too coincidental, and I get that this has to happen to a certain extent in fiction, but it did feel like it was happening a lot just to advance the plot quicker.
Despite that I had a great time reading the book and it was a beautiful conclusion to one of my favorite series of all time. I will let you all know that we had the happy ending we were promised, and it was honestly much better than I could’ve ever imagined, which I will scream about in the spoiler section. I really couldn’t have asked for a better conclusion to this series, I was screaming and crying for various reasons throughout my entire read through and was very emotional about the whole thing for at least two days afterwards. I’d give this book an “I cried about it for days but in a good way” out of ten and really recommend you all go read it if you haven’t already.
Spoilers Below!!
As per usual I have a lot of thoughts, but because I have been very emotional about this book over the course of the past week (please scroll through my Foul Heart Huntsman tag if you want to see more nonsense) so I’m going to try and talk about new and cool things.
First I just want to expand a little on the whole “things were too coincidental” point I made earlier. The one thing I have more of a gripe about, the rest I’ll excuse since they can be played off, but when Orion was dying, and Rosalind just so happened to take him to Lourens’ lab, and he just was there. I mean I guess you can say he wanted to see his lab one last time or whatever which is why he left Roma and Juliette’s house, but it just felt a little too plot convenient for me. I mean, I’m glad everything worked out for them, but the everything surrounding it just rubbed me the wrong way. Just a minor complaint but I’ll get over it.
I already had my cry about Roma and Juliette being reunited with Alisa and Rosalind, which was a great moment for me, but seeing the whole gang back together (including Celia, Marshall, and Benedikt) plus Orion was one of my favorite parts of the whole series, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Another thing that made me feel all warm and fuzzy was just all the couples. We finally saw Oliver and Celia get together, Rosalind and Orion reunion, Pheobe and Silas! I think I was most emotional about Pheobe and Silas’ kiss scene; it tore me apart just as much as Celia and Oliver’s first kiss but for some reason Pheobe and Silas hit.
Another thing that really tore me up was how much Rosalind and Orion love each other. Despite the fact that Orion lost his memories he still loved Rosalind and while she had a bit of a struggle since he wasn’t her Orion, she still loved him a lot. They have one of my favorite couple dynamics, I love how Orion is just a giant sap and Rosalind isn’t having any of it but is secretly loving it. Also, just how they gave up their abilities and became normal people for each other was so touching. Rosalind had accepted her fate that she was going to live like that for the rest of her life, and then eventually die from it after Lourens told her that the serum he used was unstable, but the way Orion was literally dying and chose to save her. Like Rosalind said, she had wanted someone to choose her, and Orion did, he was willing to die for her and I’m getting emotional typing this. Maybe I cried when he proposed in the epilogue, who knows.
I also need to talk about the exclusive Barnes and Noble epilogue (there are links to read it in the notes of this post I made if you haven’t read it already). I need to scream about Roma and Juliette having a whole entire child, I cried a little when Rosalind showed Orion the little card in the first epilogue and cried even more when we were introduced to Katherina. Another thing that made me cry was just how Pheobe and Silas were together and in love and happy and when she asked him for a kiss, tears. Of course, Oliver and Celia being married made me so beyond happy, I love that for them so much. The whole wedding also made me cry because Rosalind and Orion are in love and of course there was an incident at their wedding because that’s the kind of people they are and the daffodils and the amount of love they have for each other. The whole thing was so sweet I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better ending for the series and if I think about it too hard, I’ll cry again.
I’m going to keep this ending in my brain and not think about how like four years later China gets invaded by Japan and all of World War II, Chloe mentioned this in her authors note and now I won’t stop thinking about it. Everyone survives the war and they’re all happy, that’s cannon, I said it, I make the rules. Anyways I was, and will continue to be, super emotional about this book until the end of time. I encourage you all to please come into my inbox to scream about literally anything in this book, I love talking about it and will continue to talk about it forever so please join me!

Daisy! I LOVE HER SO MUCH <3
I based her design on a red/cream ragdoll cat bec they are so pretty, and when I think of Berrynose and his mama I always imagine those silly red colorpoint cats :)
Daisy is wearing a fern along with some blue tinted daisies bec in RoC she is mates with Ferncloud!
Basically the only thing Im changing about her is that she becomes mates with Ferncloud instead of being with Spiderleg! Fern had a crush on daisy the moment she met her and was overjoyed when Daisy joined Thunder Order. The two spent lots of time together and Fern was like a second mom to Daisy's kits (Btw I renamed Hazeltail, Cowtail and Mousewhisker, Haywhisker bec I thought farm themed names would be cute!).
Fern and Daisy ended up becoming mates and they had Daisy's second litter together (the donor was a loner)!
I thought about giving Daisy a title (suffix) bec in this au its less of a name and more of a symbolic thing but I decided against it bec I like the idea that Daisy just didn't want one, and wanted to be called just Daisy by everyone! I think she just feels like she doesn't need a title to prove that she's an important part of the Order!
[Image ID: a digital drawing of Daisy from warrior cats. She is laying down with her front facing mostly forwards, her paws are dangling in front of her in a relaxed position and she is smiling, with her mouth open like she is talking. She is a fluffy, long furred, round shaped, cream tabby color point molly with blue eyes. She is a light cream color, with slightly darker dilute red color point tabby markings on her face, legs, tail and back. She has a fluffy hair tuft and a green fern and two pale blue daisies next to her ear. Her inner ears, nose and mouth are all light pink./End ID]

🤍SOLAR RETURN(2022-2023)🤍
my masterlist
ITS MY BIRTHDAY YALL!! I know nobody is going to see this but yknow i want to talk about my solar return chart cause why not!? im not really good at interpreting charts very well so bare with me. Please.🤚🏾 Now, let’s do this😼
Isn’t she ✨pretty✨?
Im going to be using this chart here and this 12 houses chart too to help me along the way. Im not interpreting my aspects cause i’m still struggling with it.
First off, my Sun is in the 11th house.idk what else to put because the sun in the 11th house is kinda self explanatory 🧍🏾♀️
MY MOON IS IN LEO! I saw that is its conjunct my ascendent so i could be wearing my heart on my sleeves this year or i could gain weight this year(especially since my moon is in the first house and i can’t remember where i saw it but someone said the moon can indicate plumpness which im very excited for! I’ve always wanted to gain some weight)
My rising is also in Leo so i could be very bold this year or maybe a Diva( A diva is a female version of a hustla👩🏾🎤) or i could be exuding a lot of confidence this year or gain a lot of it. Maybe my hair will be fuller(hopefully). I also find it cool because my asc is at 9 degrees and my natal asc is at 9 degrees too! And 9 is a Sagittarius degree so i coukd be double cheeked up or a lot of knowledge shall be bestowed on me
My mercury is in the 10th house in Taurus. Im very intrigued to see how it would work because my natal mercury is in Gemini(home sign baby)AND its at 15 degrees(gemini degree)[ Fun fact: im also Gemini dom and my dominant planet is Mercury🫣) Now, imma be honest. I have no idea how to translate mercury in the 10th house. The best thing i can think of ag the moment, is that my mind is very career based because Mercury rules how we speak and think. Very goal oriented. It’s also in Taurus so maybe careers that involve the arts like Singing(Taurus rules the throat) would be my main focus which is crazy because i lowkey want to become a singer
My venus is also in Taurus in the 10th house so the fact that my venus is at home is spectacular! Taurus energy baby. So again, could be focused on the arts but also my fashion sense could improve a lot too since venus rules fashion(i think don’t take my word for it) Venus also rules love and beauty so i could be romancing some suitors this year honhonhon or they would be romancing me honhonhon. OMG WAIT. Venus rules beauty….am i getting my long awaited glow up!?🥹🥹🥹 PLEASE im TIRED OF THIS SHIT! but don’t make me look older though. This Gemini energy i have is keeping me looking young and i like that😏. My venus also squares my ascendent. In my natal chart, my venus TRINES my ascendent. I think i will have a strong glow up since Square is a tight/harsher aspect or i would dive into things like makeup and stuff. Back to the 10th house, i saw that it conjuncts my MC so maybe my arts/sense of fashion/beauty is my career’s main focus(??)
Mars! My mars is in one of its home signs, Aries. So i have some big go getter energy with me this year which nice paired up with my 10th house stellium. My mars is in the 9th house….idk y’all um. Ok so, Mars is mostly known for its passion, intensity, drive, and seggs. So, i think i would be very passionate about those 9th house themes especially since it is in Aries. I also could be more upfront, confrontational, and bold(ayyyye fire energy)i don’t think it indicates it but maybe i’ll meet a foreigner(9th house) and he would be ambitious or i would be ambitious towards him idk
Jupiter!! My Jupiter is living it’s life in the 9th house since one of its rulers, Sagittarius rules it. Its also in Aries so my luck my come around quickly or my abundance may increase quickly which nice because my natal Jupiter is in Libra in the 12th house💪🏿. With it being in the 9th house, my philosophical thinking, the way view my religion may expand or i may travel a lot more this year all that good stuff
Saturn. Now, im a little worried because it is in my 7th house and saturn is all about restrictions😁 and it’s in one of it’s home signs, Aquarius😁. Lovely. But yknow what, maybe this could work out. Maybe i’ll meet a long term partner thats offers stability and wants to be with me forever and marry me or i could be having trouble developing connections with people and having to learn from it because Saturn said so💃🏾UPDATE! So i just saw a post on tik tok saying that saturn is in retrograde! AAAAAAAH SO GOOD THINGS SHALL COME💪🏿
Uranus. Now, Im a little excited because it’s also in the 10th house in Taurus and at a Cancer degree(16). Uranus is mostly about unexpected changes so maybe i would have a career change all of a sudden or maybe my reputation would increase(or decrease but let’s not talk about that🤚🏾 out of sight, out of mind or in this case out of mind, out of sight hehehehe) Now, since it is in Taurus, Taurus likes to take its time on things but will still get it dont regardless, so maybe these unexpected changes will happen slowly. Its also squares my Asc so it could play which again, in my Natal chart trined my ascendent.🧍🏾♀️ These changes about my looks might be very drastic now that im thinking about it🧍🏾♀️.
Neptune. My beautiful Neptune. Its at home in Pisces and it’s in the 8th house so. I think this will benefit me because natally, i have an 8th house stelli(sun, merc, and venus) so adding pisces energy into that *chefs kiss* wonderful or it coukd he deceptive towards me and it could all be a lie✨✨✨
Pluto! It is in Capricorn which is giving hardcore lover that only likes dark colors, his only personality trait is how emotionally damaged he is and he only likes hardcore sex like BDSM. and he’s a billionaire cause why not lol jk(not really) but pluto is all about transformation and breaking down the old to make way for the new. It’s in my 6th house so my routine may change or my work ethic which is cool(ig) because im in my 6th house profection year. yaaaay
I WAS ABOUT TO END IT UNTIL I SAW THAT MY NORTH NODE IS IN MY 10TH HOUSE AND IN TAURUS OMG!? YALL THIS IS SO GOOD. I CAN LAY A PROPER FOUNDATION FOR MY CAREER OR MAYBE BE SEEN AS REALLY GOOD AT IT AND MAYBE KNOWN FOR IT OMG YALL! i really won at life y’all
But anyways, im very excited for this year. It’s my senior year of High school and off to college i go. I really hope that my 10th house stellium helps me figure out what career to go into because i’ve been struggling to figure out what i want to be. If there’s some cool things you see, please let me know and tell me about it. Im open to all discussion. Hopefully my 10th stelli is doing it’s job because this is one of the few times i want my information out here. If you’re an astrologer, please tell me how i did based on my interpretations. All love and vibes, pulsatingcoochielips is out.
Love yall ⭐️

i saw your tags about disliking flirty sleazy hw link, but what's your opinion on a more nuanced take on it? taking the flirtiness and 'prettyboy' characterisation and putting some depth to it. This is admittedly more about Warriors lu than hw Link (i'm very slow at getting through games unfortunately and thus have little info on the game itself), but i think that is where a lot of that characterisation started outside of him simply being pretty in the game? i've seen a lot of writing of him where people have really delved into WHY he's flirty and such, and i do have my own thoughts.
this might get uhh rambly hes my blorbo so i apologise if any of it is hard to understand lol
one aspect of it i think is the recognition and idea that beauty and attraction is something that can be weaponised and used to your advantage. obviously this is seen with: all of Cia and her obession with link (i do think his pretty looks is partly why she goes for him over others in these characterisations). so in turn Warriors knows it's a powerful tool and uses it to his advantage - presenting himself in a very specific way that makes him look the best, both for his men and as a barrier of sorts. if he's put together on the outside he's put together on the inside. it's also probably one of the few things he can control in war, making sure his scarf is perfectly positioned and his hair is neat and his sword is clean: the perfect image of the hero. I also think its a coping mechanism, this control.
another aspect i've seen is that his flirtiness and womanizer reputation is less sleeping around, and more not being able to handle romantic commitment, which is very interesting to look into, especially considering again, Cia's business. It makes sense that someone who has been told they're great and powerful (and had the rise and fall of that ego boost) has confidence, yet someone who has had that weaponised against them is wary of letting people in, especially in the context of relationships. that is often a vulnerable position, having someone know you, and with Cia's 'personal space issues' it makes sense he'd want to be in control of a sexual/flirty situation (by flirting and making the moves) yet not actually commit to any of it when the opportunity arises (touch averse, ptsd, etc).
a lot of it seems to be about a sense of control, and how quickly it feels you lose that once you feel you cannot control the surface level presentation you put forwad. he has a reputation of being a womanizer - a war started bec a girl liked him! - and thus he keeps it up to keep in control of the situation.
i also dislike the one dimentional playboy warriors/hw link characterisation, but this is what i usually do with it when writing and just rotating him in my head. if you have any info about hw link in particular that reinforces/contradicts any of this i'd be happy to hear it! and your general thoughts (dw too much about spoilers, my autism craves blorbo info over potential story spoilers and it'll be a while before i get to most of it anyway). i do also see Warriors lu and hw Link as two seperate characters, and am interested on where the deviation in characters they are, its always super intruiging to see where the differences are.
also, i hope you are having a good day/night! you got a cool blog :3
matching blorbo!! i am always down to talk abt hw link, i would die for that man.
now im gonna start w this disclaimer: im not the biggest fan of wars characterization in LU, mostly bc he's not that developed and the fandom took what little they had and ran with it in a direction i dont like. that's no hate to any fans or ppl who do like him, he just isnt my cuppa tea! i 100% see him and hw link as diffrent characters bc to me too much doesnt line up
so my dislike of the 'cocky overconfident sleazy flirty pretty boy' characterization comes to the oversimplification of the few traits we have (bc you're right, there isn't much to go on haha. hw is not known for its characterization), a lack of interest people seem to have in his and cia (and by extension lana)'s relationship and the trauma it causes, and people just relying on stereotypes instead of building character. we know a few things for sure from the game & out of game material: link has a strong sense of justice, he acts before he thinks to an extent, he is a tad overconfident (which bites him in the ass and he has to learn to grow from), he's kind, and can talk to fairies. it's not a lot to go off of, so i understand when people tend to grab onto a few stereotypes and not go anywhere from there but i think that does his character a disservice.
1)on the pretty boy thing: is link gorgeous? absolutely. he's the Prettiest Link by sure, just look at him. he's wearing fuckin eyeliner. but i think people look at that character design and turn it into meaning he obviously must be vain or self-centered. i'm fine with someone characterizing him as caring about his looks; i agree that he probably does to an extent-- no one runs around with something as much of a hazard as that scarf is (it's a wonder he wasn't strangled with it) in a warzone without being somewhat connected to your appearance-- but i feel like if you're going to write him as the 'pretty boy' it should be done like you idea was, with actual characterization in mind, and not like, okay his game model is hot so he must be obsessed with himself. i actually really, really like the ideas you gave abt stability and coping through self-expression btw, i think that's a great idea and i can completely see it. my problem with the 'vain pretty boy' characterization mostly comes from that i think of link as dealing with a lot of discomforts with his body over knowing that his looks are part of the reason why cia attacked; i figure that knowing that being attractive is part of the reason why people are dying (even tho it is 100% no his fault) would totally fuck up your relationship with yourself. i think that his appearance is something he takes care in as a coping mechanism while also being something he completely dissociates himself from. nothings gotta hurt like someone seeing you as purely the 'self-absorbed pretty soldier' when, in your opinion, you being the 'pretty boy' is costing people lives. i think his view of himself and his body is wrapped up in trauma so when people jump to 'oh he has eyeliner he must be completely obsessed with his appearance' instead of examining it further it makes me twitch.
(also, unimportant, but the reason i think cia chose him was because he resembles the first hero the most, and since the first hero is the ultimate form of the hero's spirit, link is the next best thing. she obv can't go after the first link, he's hylia's boyfriend, but this link is right there for the taking)
2) okay next point: playboy link. i also agree with your characterization! i just think that unfortunately, it isn't a very common one. so im like 97% sure that the flirty characterization came for LU, as there is like. no basis for it in game, and i think that a majority of people write it totally wrong. racist implications of a toxic dark-skinned woman chasing after a white man aside, link was stalked. he was sexually harassed and objectified. he had to go fight in a castle with his face fuckin plastered on it-- a war was started bc cia was obsessed and wouldn't respect consent, that's a big fucking deal, and i feel like people don't acknowledge that it is? that must mess with your sense of self, control, consent, agency, trust, etc so, so badly. i feel like sooo much of the flirty characterization 1) turns sleazy, which i see as wildly ooc, esp given his history with consent 2) glosses over the effects of trauma completely. any kind of relationship he's going to have for a long, long time during and post-war, friendship, sexual, or romantic, is going to be affected by cia. cia is likely something he's going to struggle to cope with his entire life. i see it as deeply warping his ideas of consent and causing a significant amount of self-worth problems. and so many people go 'okay he sleeps around' and stop there. it does a disservice to him. if you want him to be a flirt, you have to acknowledge his trauma, ya know?
3) completely cocky link. okay so we know that link is headstrong and acts before he thinks. we know this for a fact. as a private, he abandons his post at the castle to go and fight, and then in the same battle rushes off on his own to protect impa and takedown volga, an extremely stupid idea that would have gotten him killed if he didn't have the spirit of the hero. the fact that volga didn't roast him alive is a fucking miracle. @ link pls use your brain. we also know that he got overzealous when he drew the master sword. he saw his troops as invincible serving under the blade of evil's bane, which has slight validity tbh, it is the master sword after all, but then two things happen that i think really led to him changing himself as a person: dark link & the turn coats. so dark link is flat out a reflection of his negativities and having to fight it was a fuckin slap in the face that what he was doing was foolish and wrong. the turn coats also served to show him that he was very much not invincible. so between the two of those, i think he had a lot of growth. making him a cocky ass ignores that growth completely unless you acknowlage the world around him
also, on the fairies: fairies are good judges of character. i don't think he'd a bestie to the fairies who can talk to them in their own language and chills with the great fairy if he was a total ass
okay i think im finally done word dumping but uhhh i love this man so much. so so much. i adore him and i just want people to put thought into him when they write him bc there is SO much to explore if you just look

-ˏˋ sweetheart diaries ˊˎ- #2 🕊🌱 🐥 !!
૮₍ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ₎ა ♡ ༘
⋆ ✧₊ﾟmay 13th 2022 🦋 🫧🎐 ⊹ɞ
posting yesterdays diary log bc i was too tire to do it SLKFJLSDKSJS hehe. so yetsterday wasnt too bad again ! i wasntn sure on what to wear so i wroe a black pinstrip e skorts, a white puffy ruched tank, and a black t shirt button up tht had pretty rhinestones on it fo r buttons tht matched w my af1s and pearl necklace <3 🪄✨💖
︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶
i woke up at 730 this time ))): but stil made it in time to straightn my hair (cos i shower on may 12 n hair got rlly wavy ) which was crazy !!!!! im proud of not being late late ⏰😁
at school i had a math test for mu trig, n it wasnt too dificult acc, i k i need to finish the homeworks still and do some word problem s as the last page is what i strugg with the most cos is the most difficult, so ye! OH AND IGOT MY TEST MARK BACK FOR 2 OF THEM AND IM SO HAPPY BC I GOT AN 88 ON ONE AND THEN AN 86 ON THE OTHER !! i still a a+ student. n then in art we were doing mosiacs n i almost done my butterfly one, i jus need to grout it ! i think blue, white or black, or maybe dark blue grout wouldlook good 😮😵💫😵
break came n i scroll on aliexpress n played a little bit of projec sekai, have to get my daily in ! 😈 my main card is mizuki’s pink bow one, n then my title cards r “luka fan” “i love them all!” and “hbd airi” cos theyre all pink and aesthetic. and im thinking of all this new stuffs i wanna get on aliexpress, ever since i starte d regressing frilly stuff and pink sweaters is like,, really interests me which is crazy cos usually, even though i do love pink , i dont think id ever wear wear it or have super frilly stuffs, but i hav this idea in my head and idk if itll work or look how i want it to ,, though its opened my eyes to appreciate croquette aesthetic and cutsey ones more , i nev er thought id be into croquette though ive been into brandy melville ditzy stuff and soft girl vibes, and i think agere (age dreaming / half agere) allows me to feel mor girly and comfy in it even though u dont have to be a specific aesthetic to be agere. 💗
in regards to age regressing, i feel really guilty and shamefula bout it, because its almost involuntary righ tnow ); but talkign tomsyefl in a child voice in my head is soo much ebtter than hearing intrusive thoughts or mean voices. i just hoope it can balance it bc my ocd kicks in and says that the reason why i love pink and all these cute stuffs is because im an age regressor when really, i loved cute stuff before age regressing and so now that im sort of age dreaming that cute stuff i really really like! it had nothing to do with each other ther is no correlation. i like cute stuff because I WANT TO !!! not bc its trnedy or becuse im age regressing . i do like cute stuff. silly mind likes to play tricks )): (₸~₸)
work was soooo slow for a friday ))); i mostly did greets and extreme detailing but it was super boring and i was starinrg down at the clock. i do love internships dont get me wrong bec its a big opportunity though these days work is so dry and theres not a lot of sparks to it anymore, though i do feel like woring here hs help s lots wiht my confidence and public speaking! beforehand i was very shy to go and greet customers but now it is slowly becomign muscle memory so i am proud of myself cos of that
my mom picked me up n she was super hungy so she went to get some bourbon chickn from food court, we ate in the car in the shade and jus talked, n then went to home depo for a water tnak gear n some other thingies, i laid in the back seat while waitn for her cos me feet tire fromw orking, n then we went home ! i spent time w m sister for a littl bit n then played sims 4 hehe n tthen went upstairs to hug teddy n b on my phone for a little, ate some popcorn yumyum popcorn my favourite, n then mom n sister went out for food so i spent some time w my cat roscoe while waiting, n pet his soft orange white fur while he licked his blanket. mom n sister came back with CHICKEN NUGGET!!! i so happy abt that cos i havent had maccas in a long while so i enjoy my chicken nugget while looking at aliexpress smore, ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
i was trying to focus on relaxing cos whenever id os oemthing i always feel very guilty. shame i livewith everyday , and it was a battle of tellignmyself tht i deserve to relax, and live i nthe moment, so i did! i worked on my bllogg, played arsenal fps game with my close friend, went on dizzy n smashed my anxiety of setting my acc to online and spent some more time w him wathc ing him play sonic, ready or not, stanley deluxe, and listening to undertale music he pciked out. speaking of undertale, i lstening to respite rn from deltarune . i dont relly like playing underale or deltarune and i never hav, btu ive seen him play it and i liked the music ^u^ i also did some creating and tried to make some roblox softline clothes, it difficult tho bc it was un-hardlining my other creation, so i ended up quiting it )): ill pick it up tmrrr probably after i take care meself. 🎆
i was srolling on shein while watching stanley deluxe , n then he went to bed so i did too, i was on my phone a lil more beside teddy n then around 12:35 i decided to sleep instead of fighting it. 😊😴💤
