I don’t know if your requests are open or not but could you do a teen autistic+adhd reader x Mha characters (prefably male or gender neutral) who has trouble saying please and thank you cuz that’s how their brain is wired and they get ridiculed a lot about it? Any character is fine obviously ignore this if you don’t want to write it :)
Oh my gosh absolutely you the first ever ask and you were so polite I’ll do my best to do this Justice.
Platonic Bakugou x autistic+adhd! Reader
Summary some of you friends don’t understand your way and start trying to “make you do better” Bakugou calls them out for their shit
Sfw
Cw: some judgey comments from a few characters about why the reader seems “rude”
You were all sitting at a table. You don’t remember who first put the idea out but now you and your friends were out for dinner. You scanned the room with you eyes making note of things that felt important to you. Where the bathroom was at. Where the food was brought out at. How long the waiter would wait to come to each table. You look at the menu again. Taking a deep breath to focus in on it.
By the time the waiter had returned you had finally made a choice.
You put you finger to the menu to point at the item
“this one” you say confidently.
“Is that everything?”
“Yeah”, you hand the waiter you menu. The waiter finishes up collecting orders and walked off.
“Aye man wasn’t that a little rude of you?” Denki said from the other side of the table.
“How so,” you questioned not seeing what was rude.
“You just sounded super rude. Like please might be a little nicer,” he shrugged
“Sorry i forget.” And that was the truth you had other things taking up you brain power it was easy to not use the term so many things are important.
“Maybe next time you can let them know your thankful for the food when they come back” ochako chimes in leaning around a few people to look at you. You nodd just to get them to move the conversation along.
When the food finally arrived you took you plate with a nodd. Not only a few seconds after you were given you plate you felt several people looking at you.
You turn to see several of your friends looking at you expectantly.
“What?”
“Say thank you” it was iida’s turn to remind you of “how you failed”
“What if I don’t want to”
“It’s rude not to” you felt yourself getting annoyed. You understood that you had a hard time explaining why you didn’t say polite grades often but you had thought this topic was over with.
“Oye I don’t remember to say thankyou or please and you never give me shit so drop it.” Bakugou speaks up annoyed at how some people seemed to be treating you.
“Compare to me they are plenty polite so next time you want to try to reprimand someone for not wanting to waste there time on pleasantries try me it’ll be fun.” He finished with a smirk.
Everyone finally turns to there food and the people next to them. Bakugou looks Acrossed the table at you
“Don’t ever think you gotta waist you energy on things that don’t matter to you okay.”
You nodd and smile glad that you got some good friends who acually care
A/n
I’m so sorry this took so long to do.
I myself am trained so hard in pleases and thank yous that this was acually hard. It was a fun challenge to do though. My original plan was to be platonic fic but wasn’t a Bakugou one but him being a character who give the least of a shit made him an easy fit.
I hope you have a good day night or evening

Anyone wanna hear my Tucker Foley headcanons? Yes? No? I’m putting them out here cause he deserves more love
After all the Ghost attacks started he actually got quite a bit of anxiety, tends to happen when, your, your friends, and everyone you knows lives are in danger. Not to mention he’s on the front lines! 
He watches a lot of like super comforting, cute shows. think like fun funky comfort cartoons. They really relax him. But he can’t sit still watching anything, always gotta be doing something (Not my ADHD ass projecting) 
So he sketches a lot, he’s into graphic design too! 
He collects keychains, for when he gets a car. really cute ones! He’s got a lilo and stitch one.
his parents are wonderful and he feels so, so guilty when he comes home at three after hacking skulkers armor. They worry about him, he knows. He could tell them he’s ghost hunting. Wouldn’t even have explain the his-best-friends-a-half-ghost thing! Danny’s a fenton, which tuck could use as explanation. But. He’d have to lie either way, right? And he’d rather his mom and dad don’t have to think about him risking his life
He was really good at tech shit before ghost shit started but nowhere near his skill level now. Like, he figured how to use ECTOPLASM in tech! Trying to hack him? Get Haunted! And he fuckin hacked a GHOST! Tucker is baffling and terrifying Anyone With A Job In Tech
Everybody knows theres a hacker working with Phantom. No one knows WHO. Tuck finds this absolutely hilarious, he starts a social media account for ‘The Mystery Hacker’ he also keeps spreading fake clues
He’ll be unstoppable when he gets a car. He WILL run over assholes, no hesitation
He and Sam agree on this
He loves his friends very much, ok? Just like I love him. Give Tuck more love <3

hey, could you write headcanons about how Lucia, Oswald and Lucas would be like in a romantic relationship with autistic person?
lucia, oswald, & lucas +a gn!s/o with autism
big disclaimer: i am not autistic. my basis for this post lies in my previous research of asd, reading works by autistic writers, and my encounters with my lovely friends who are on the spectrum.
genre: fluff
cw: reader has high functioning autism, language as usual
Lucia
❧ ok first off y'all would be the perfect adhd + autism duo, things just instantly click between the two of you
❧ that being said, shit just kinda flies out of his mouth sometimes and he says the darndest things that hardly make sense-- please feel free to interrupt him and have him explain in more,, understandable terms
❧ he probably had a special interest growing up but had to stifle it in favor of learning politics, so he feeds off of your special interest and gets just as into it as you do
❧ in fact, he sees you going about your life in tandem to your special interest as an "it's okay!" to finally start indulging in one of his own :,)
❧ he genuinely thinks that you're the smartest person in all of nightmare, going as far as to declare you an expert in your field and will come to you with any and all questions he has; please info dump to him, he loves it
❧ he's usually big on physical touch but he'll respect your wishes if you prefer to not be touched, or he'll always ask permission to touch you
❧ he's gotten used to having to hold intense eye contact for extended periods of time due to his position, so if you're the type to also make too much eye contact, you have nothing to worry about! he doesn't find it off putting at all! however, if you find eye contact uncomfortable, he'll remind himself to look at something else when talking to you every now and then
❧ before meeting you, he had no idea what stimming was, nor that it was something he kinda already did, like he'll tap on his desk with his pen or he'll shake his leg a lot; he used to have such a hard time sitting still but learned to mask his fidgeting over time
❧ same goes for fidget/stim toys, he's always on the lookout for something new to try with you, and the two of you have built quite a collection of favorites
❧ he absolutely funds more research on autism in nightmare, and he makes sure there are good facilities with quality resources and support available for all
❧ the first time he witnessed you have a meltdown, he kinda freaked out a bit; he genuinely was at a loss for what to do. but he asked questions after and learned from it, and now he's a champ! he's invested in a little care basket full of comfort items for when you come down
❧ he makes sure to adjust his room to meet your sensory needs. he's a generally kinda messy person, but he'll tidy up for you. he'll also invest in some good curtains and maybe even a canopy for his bed
Oswald
❧ he's soso patient and understanding so you never have to feel self conscious or bad about anything around him
❧ he's relatively new to the issue when it comes to the medical side and the terminology, but he has some experience handling it thanks to noel
❧ if your special interest has something to do with gardening or really anything nature related he gets a little excited because that's something big you two have in common! and he takes it as an opportunity to learn from you
❧ ofc that goes for any special interest you have, no matter the topic. he recognizes that it's something important to you and wants to learn all about it as best he can
❧ he's not an especially touchy person in general, and always preferred to ask before touching you anyway which is perfect for if you're not comfortable with physical contact
❧ ngl he was a little perplexed at stimming at first, but not in a bad way, moreso in a "wow that works? interesting" kinda way
❧ he also finds it lowkey adorable when you get caught up in stimming, and he just kinda admires you
❧ he'll keep a pocket sized sensory toy in his pocket at all times in case you ever want one. he'll also make it a point to carry a small case for ear plugs when you go out in public, and a little snack in case you can't find any safe foods anywhere
❧ speaking of safe foods, he always makes sure he keeps a cabinet in his cabin full of your safe foods and ingredients to make them
❧ he's very empathetic when you have a meltdown, and he's very quick to help and find out what you need in that moment
❧ if you're prone to any harmful actions during meltdowns, or even as general stims, he'll try to direct it away from you. like if you hit, he'll have you hit him or something soft so you won't hurt yourself, or if you bite your nails, he'll hold onto your hand and give you a sensory item to chew on instead
❧ his cabin is sensory heaven, never too bright, never too loud, nothing overpowering to the senses. it's very peaceful and calming
Lucas
❧ this mf speaks in riddles half the time which is hell if you have a very literal mindset. please tell him to speak right lmao
❧ he has sensory issues when it comes to clothes, like he cannot stand tight clothes or heavy fabrics; you bet he knows all the best places to get clothes that suit your exact needs
❧ he's got a deep knowledge of a lot of obscure things and is always thirsting for more, which makes him great to info dump to and with; he's such a great listener and will actually absorb what you tell him
❧ he's surprisingly not a very touchy person, and he's always super mindful about when and where he's touching you, and he's always so gentle
❧ he also always seems to know exactly what you're thinking and feeling, even when you can't express it properly, it's almost uncanny but it's mostly just insanely helpful when you feel stuck
❧ if you ever feel too insecure to stim or if you just get too tired of masking in public, he'll take the two of you to a secluded area where you can let it all out and do what you need to feel comfortable
❧ if you're prone to more harmful stims, he stops you before you can even start and suggests an alternative. he carries a little bag of emergency items for you at all times, and it's full of stuff like ear plugs, sensory toys, snacks, and even your meds if you take any
❧ he's very quiet when it comes to handling your meltdowns; he can read you well and immediately prepares what you need without a word spoken
❧ he keeps a messy house, and if that's something that causes you stress, he'll try to keep it more organized or at least categorize everything with your help
❧ he also has a ridiculously comfy bed, like something you'd only see on pinterest, and it's the best place every to unwind and relax

Astral/Shark kissing for the writing prompt (hmm I have to specify the kiss??? "Passionate"? Hmmm maybe? D:)
never wrote anything about this pairing but i'm excited!! hope you'll like this :DD
Here's the prompt list for anyone who wants to request anything!
--
Astral does not expect to fall in love with anyone, after all, his goal was to collect the number cards and regain his memories. Nothing more. But.. he did. And it was puzzling.
And to his surprise, it was not with Yuma. He did love Yuma, of course, how couldn't he? He was endlessly lovable, even if he tended to get sidetracked with the most benign things. But, he did not love (well, what he thought was love) him, for his affection belonged to Shark. (Or Reginald, which he seemed to hate being called).
He didn't know why he liked him. It was odd, frankly, for Astral to hold such a liking for this purple, flaming ball of aggressiveness.
For starters, Shark was reactionary, he was quiet, he always pushed Yuma away, and the worst of it, he was a bit of a tsundere. He abhorred those things. What was wrong with Astral?
It was the same for Shark, and it came as a surprise to him. They'd barely ever spoken, just a few passing words and glances. But why couldn't he get him off of his mind? It was clearer for Shark than ever for Astral.
Shark isn't romantic, and he isn't charming in the least bit. At least that's what he thinks. He's barely even affectionate to the people he loves most.
But, even with his self-doubts, the tension is getting to be too much. The both of them know it, hell, Yuma might even know it too. It's suffocating, whenever Yuma comes around with Astral (whose always stuck to him by the hip), he doesn't know whether to say hello or to blurt out that he likes him.
He was tired of watching him from afar. Shark absolutely detests these feelings.
So Shark finally does something about it.
He invites Yuma and Astral to go out and get lunch together. He knows Astral will tag along. After all, wherever Yuma goes, he seems to go.
Astral doesn't eat much. Anything, really. Nobody can see him anyway, and Shark would NOT go through the embarrassment of ordering for a blue ghost (He's sure Yuma would, though). But, Shark hasn't eaten much, too. There he is, quietly sipping on his cappuccino, all while Yuma talks and talks like the ADHD-brained, lovable fool he is. Astral is sitting next to him, intently listening. it's the middle of the day and barely anyone is around.
But, Yuma suddenly gets up from his seat, "Ah, I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back!" Yuma explains, "Maybe you shouldn't have asked for so many refills." Astral replies, eyeing Yuma's half-finished glass of soda on the table, among 3 other empty ones with half-melted ice miserably dying at the bottom. "Shush!" And then he's off.
It's almost like the stars are aligning in his favor. Yuma is gone, and they're all alone.
"What's your problem with me?" Shark swallows, breaking the silence between the two. His heart almost jumped out of his chest right then and there.
Astral always remains neutral, in most cases. He has always been a sort of injured baby deer, if it made any sense, "What problem? I don't see the problem."
"You know what I'm talking about." He huffs, Astral's studying his face closely. "There's no need to be gentle about it, Reginald." Shark tenses up at the use of his first name, "Do you love me?" How could he have known? Did he make it obvious? There were so many questions swarming in his head, buzzing like flies and honeybees.
"Fine. We can call it love." He's sweating, shaking, almost. Shark doesn't even realize it at first, but he's flushed and turning pink.
"Yuma will be back soon. Kiss me or leave it."
Straight to the point, huh?
 Quickly, Shark grabs Astrals illuminating blue shoulders. He pulls him close and smashes his lips against his. He does it so fast, Astral would scoff about it if he wasn't being kissed.
Astral doesn't feel at all like he expected. His skin is cold, almost as if it had been freezing for years. The soft glow that emanated off of him was tingly on his skin. It only adds to Sharks' desperation, and Astral's too. Their tongues dance in a rhythm, each movement an unspoken declaration of their desire. It was a kiss that spoke of longing and connection, a kiss that transcended words and touched the deepest recesses of their souls.
Shark's lips are warm, the lips of humans were always so comforting to Astral but he never knew how to put his ghostly finger on it. Shark has that coffee smell on him too, it's intoxicating, almost sweet as a flower.
And finally, Shark pulled away. He needed to breathe, Astral did not.
"Hey, what'd I miss?" Yuma walks back to the table.
It was like nothing even happened. How did Astral do it? The afterglow of the kiss is plastered on Shark's face. "Nothing, me and Reginald were just having fun while you were gone." He replies.
Shark will so get Astral back for this. But not now, later.

I really can’t sit on Tumblr while I’m hanging out with Dad because I’ll be laughing at the absolute nonsense you people put on my dash and I can’t show him because he’s like a scary old man who doesn’t find the absurdist nature of the internet funny

Mina Ashido Headcanons!
@jewel116 requested some headcanons of our Alien Queen and I am here to deliver!
Some of these also could be considered BakuSquad HCs, hope that's alright.
I also went ahead and included some Adult Mina and 18+ Mina Headcanons too. Both are below the cut and clearly stated. Warnings are posted at each header mark.
If anyone has any other requests, lemme know!
Basic Mina Headcanons
Warnings: It's as fluffy as her dang hair! (Swearing)
. Most definitely has ADHD! In class, she is constantly tapping her foot on bouncing her leg as a means of trying her best to keep focused.
. Has a collection of shirts that she has designated for sleep and loungewear because she's burned acid holes in them by accident. Sometimes she'll wear them to concerts and shows if the design is cool enough.
. Loves piggyback rides! Frequently will run and jump on the backs of the guys in the BakuSquad. Even Katsuki himself puts up with it after a while.
. While Katsuki is the 'mom' of the squad, Mina is the one everyone goes to when they need comfort. Denki will curl up in her lap after a long day, Eijiro frequently goes to her when his insecurities creep back in, Hanta shows up late at night and they talk in her room about nothing just because he doesn't want to be alone, and Katsuki, well, he shows up to her room, slams the door and complains for a solid half-hour after reading a particularly heartbreaking scene in a manga while she listens to every word and validates his feelings.
. Mina worries far more than people believe she does. Her bubbly, loud, personality usually masks it but she knows when people are lying to her about what's going on in their heads.
. Sitting properly in a chair physically bothers her. She'd much rather be hanging upside down off it.
. She lowkey likes that the boys get protective over her.
. Mina is the type of person who gets A LOT of random thoughts that pop up in her head and one of the few people who actually will engage with the sheer randomness of the ideas is Shoto. Not only does he engage, he comes up with his own! The two can talk for hours.
. Loves hosting 'spa parties' in the common area of the dorms, everyone is welcome to join.
. When road trips happen, she's making the playlists (technically, she and Kyoka switch off).
. Tries teaching Tenya, Izuku, and Shoto how to flirt. After a very embarrassing first hour, Shoto didn't learn a single thing, Izuku was only good at it when paired with Shoto and Tenya... Tenya had her SHOOK! Man has game and she made sure everyone knew!
. Has weekly meetings with Yuga where they drink tea and spill the tea.
. She is so damn ticklish. Hanta was teasing her one day, she warned him to stop, he received an elbow to the face for not listening.
. Tried to grow her hair out once but it didn't grow down... it grew OUT. Mina thought she rocked it, and she totally did but ended up having it cut back down so poor Tsyu could see in class.
. Wakes up early three days a week to practice her hand-to-hand combat with Eijiro. Mina wants to improve her technique and Eijiro needed to work on his mobility, it benefits them both.
. Just Dance is her favorite game, she dominates.
. Easily forms new interests.
. Won't admit it but she gets jealous super easily.
. Will be the first to attempt to throw hands for a friend! I HC she was picked on as a child for looking so different but it never really phased her too badly, she likes looking different but understands that not everyone thinks like she does. So, if someone were to say something about Mezo's facemask, she's stepping in to defend the guy without hesitation.
. Knows every TikTok dance EVER. If a new one comes out, she's mastered it by end of the day and her account is always up to date.
. (Popular idea but important to reinforce) Mina and Eijiro co-founded a club, Horn Buddies, specifically to make Eri feel more welcome. They take her on trips and group outings. The only horned person who's not allowed to join is Pony because she was rude as heck to Mezo.
. Mina gets extra competitive over board games.
. She can ice skate and roller skate like a champ.
. Mina is resilient, dedicated, and passionate. She has goals and the girl will achieve them.
Pro Hero - Adult Mina Headcanons
Warnings - Mentions of alcohol use and swearing
. Gets several tattoos and piercings.
. Starts a roller derby club with most of the girls from 1A.
. Loves going out to the hottest dance clubs just as much as she enjoys staying in and munching on take-out food with friends.
. The Horn Buddies club she formed with Eijiro has now expanded into regular society and both young heroes couldn't be more proud. Together they've formed a foundation that strives to help those with non-flashy, unconventional, or misunderstood quirks feel welcomed and loved.
. Does her best to shop small whenever she can. Mina wants to help her community in as many different ways as possible.
. Becomes a fashion icon for many small, just starting out, alternative clothing lines. They love her look and the standard she sets.
. Goes to fashion and runway shows with Momo on the regular. While Momo prefers buying right off the rack, Mina goes to thrift stores and buys items that are coming back into style.
. Does her best to stay in touch with her classmates. She really cherished the friendships she made and goes the extra mile to make sure everyone stays connected.
. Has told off Shoto's father. Sent the man an anonymous bag of flaming dog shit as well for making his son so damn stressed. Sorry, not sorry.
. As long as she isn't in the middle of a fight, Mina will always stop to take a photo with a fan or sign an autograph. In or out of costume, she doesn't care.
. In high school, Mina's room was always decked out for the holidays. She goes decoration crazy and it is always done well. But, now that she's an adult with that pro hero money and her own place, she's the best house on the block decorated for each and every holiday! Inside and out! Also throws holiday-themed parties.
. Got absolutely trashed with the BakuSquad one night and taught them all how to twerk. By the end of the lesson, she deemed Katsuki was the best of her students.
. Loves to drink. Is a lightweight. Katsuki and Eijiro have carried her home more times than they can count.
NSFW 18+ Mina HC Below - Minors DNI
Warnings: Drinking, rough sex, mentions of orgies, handcuffs, impact play, and praise kinks. Subtle sexual relations with BakuSquad, Jiro, Todoroki, and Ochaco.
. The Queen of stripteases and lap dances.
. If any of her friends are at a party or some event and they need a fake date, Mina is their go-to person. She's handsy. She's flirty. And has no problem with platonic make-outs.
. Always encourages kissing-themed games at parties. Seven Minutes in Heaven, Spin the Bottle, those sorts of games. Mina also loves to play cupid and has rigged a game or two to get people together.
. Has made out with every member of the BakuSquad at least once as well as Kyoka, Shoto, and Ochaco simply because she was curious.
. Has attempted to start an orgy with the BakuSquad before when intoxicated. Still mentions it in passing just in case they change their minds.
. Has gone further with Katsuki and Eijiro though. Maybe both at the same time once or twice or several times...
. Wonderfully filthy dirty talk. Can even make Katsuki blush.
. (A personal favorite of mine that was in a previous post) When they were first years, Eijiro asked innocently enough, to touch her horns. He was gentle but that didn't matter. Our poor girl was so damn flustered! Her face turned red bright, she felt hot, and she had to go take a very cold shower!
. Ei felt terrible about it. It took them both maturing for her to explain exactly why she reacted that way... and then asked him to do it again.
. Is likely to send NSFW texts and photos while people are indeed at work. She is a Pro Hero though so only certain people are allowed to have those photos. A scandal is the last thing she wants.
. Very good at communication and is not afraid to speak her mind about what she wants and needs out of a relationship and her sex life.
. Loud, very loud, very needy.
. Fuzzy handcuffs in every color she can think of and adores impact play.
. Let her know she's doing a good job, Mina responds well to praise.
. Big cuddler after sex. Wants to snuggle into you and more than likely take a nap.

How the First Four Brothers react to MC with ADHD
Due to my ADHD and knowing the severity of the highs and lows, here’s my take on the boys reacting to such a situation. First Four. Hope you like it.
Here’s the last three brothers and bonus additives!
Lucifer-
Would have found out through Diavolo but didn’t think much of it. His brothers were already ridiculous, it was going to be difficult to deal with a human let alone an idiot human. Cue the grumbling complaints prior to your arrival.
However, after meeting you and realizing you actually did seem to be less of a nitwit, he pays more attention. Fidgeting. Social anxiety that isn’t read in your face but body language. Variation of sleep and forgetfulness, but always so willing to keep trying harder to impress.
Well, that’s a delightful difference. Maybe he needed to understand this a bit better. He sits you down casually and finds a subtle way into the conversation. Maybe mentioning you seem quite talkative at times and tired at others.
Explaining it to him is easy, even if he doesn’t react. He may not fully understand your view, but he can sense it is a topic that makes you uncomfortable. Presses very little. No, instead, this demon will ask Barbatos for information. Probably in a way that might seem insulting. “The human seems to be lacking in a curricular front and I need information on their issue.”
Takes extra care once finding out specific issues and how to alleviate them. Maybe through suggestions. Asking Beelzebub if he’d seen the human eat today. Asking Satan to assist the human in their studies. Pulling every fucking string imaginable to make your life easier in the Devildom. After all, this has to be successful.
Your smile and less socially awkwardness helps too. He enjoys it and soon praise is a regular routine from him with little harsh critique at your failings. Watching you flourish summons feelings in his chest he hadn’t had in eons. He just wants to keep nurturing you… from a distance. Well, he’ll try from a distance.
Mammon-
ADHD boy himself. He hears about it from Satan and snorts it off. Fuck that. Stupid irregular human.
However, after meeting you, this baby boy is hooked. You talk fast when you’re happy, you randomly collect things that don’t make sense to others? Oh, you like to do impulsive shit too? Sign him up. Although it’s always gonna be his idea, no human could ever affect his decisions!
Soon you’re praising him. Patting him on the head when he helps you. Genuinely, you’re the nicest mess he’s ever met. Never bullying him. Always being supportive even if he fucks up. What the fuck? Did he just meet the love of his life? He could kiss you, but you know, you're human!
You never say no to his antics, but definitely don’t let him have everything he wants either. It’s so frustrating and sexy. No way, not sexy. Nope. Just annoying and he loves the way you have a list of things you ask yourself to remember before walking out the door.
You forgot your bag!? Hold on, he’ll get it. He does that a lot too. You forgot your water bottle? Not to worry puny human, the Great Mammon will get you one. You need help cleaning your room for a surprise inspection by Lucifer? Shit, let’s throw everything under the bed and forget it! None of it will matter anyway. That’s tomorrow’s problem.
What gets him the most. THE MOST. Is your sad moods. He gets them too. Instead of being a false ego and vocal, he’ll just crawl on the bed with you and listen to you talk. Cue puppy dog eyes and blushes. He will tell you stories of all the times he fucked up to make you feel less in your feels. Laugh with him and not at him, and he’s a goner.
All in all, he doesn’t get the specifics, but he understands YOU. He may gripe and moan, but this sweet boy will be your best friend, (Maybe more, ya know, if you want?)  through the best and worst times. Just don’t tell him you don’t love him. Rejection like that would crush him as much as it does you.
Leviathan-
Oh geez. Another idiot normie with problems? Don’t sign him up to help.
Finds out you like video games because you get nervous around people and can hyper focus on them if they’re good? Welcome to becoming his best friend! He will encourage you to find  ones you like from his vast collection. He will explain the details of their importance and potentially wreck you in competitive ones.
Totally relates to having a poor sleep schedule. Stays up all night with you on insomnia riddled ones with a fresh anime. Even if you’re not an okatu like him, he will explain the plot and offer his snacks.
Wants you to never leave his room. Don’t join the normies!!! They judge! Stay with the shut-in and have fun, p-please? 
Realizes he probably has several of your problems after you physically stim by twirling your hair or sweater string for hours. Realizes it more when he has to remind you to drink because humans are weak.
Loves. Your. Praise. Won’t praise you back at first until your intimacy level is higher. However, he will always offer to buy you cool things that you couldn’t afford with your impulse buy list on Akuzon. Welcome to Levi’s ultra tight friend circle.
Doesn’t care an iota about your disorder, just knows you understand him and wants to keep you all to himself. Lucifer warned (threatened???) him several times not to hold the human hostage with snacks and video games as bait.
Satan-
ADHD. Ah, a human disorder. Immediately gets all the reading material he can find. Finds out that this is going to be an interesting experiment. Even more intrigued and doesn’t show it, but prepares for all the possible scenarios of how this could go in the Devildom.
When he meets you, he’s standoffish, but not unkind. He knows enough now to know it’s not personal that you don’t want to talk because of anxiety, even with demons. Takes mental notes of everything you do in the first couple of weeks. Sleep schedule, eating habits, hygiene. All the routines that make him your own personal stalker.
When he finally approaches you, it’s when you're huddled in the library at the bay window with the curtain surrounding you. He kindly asks you what you're doing and you say it’s to make you feel less overwhelmed. You have a project due and it’s your first one.
He offers help and a less loud place to do it so you both aren’t interrupted. That’s when he finally gets you alone to talk. While you're doing the project he mentions he’s been brushing up on ADHD. He also asks if he can continue to help you study if you want a companion, knowing it’s more difficult to focus alone.
He is the equivalent of your own personal trainer in a sense. He offers many avenues on how to handle the Devildom and even offers to tap into his contacts if you need anything. Starts to think of you as a cat. No shit. Pats your head when you do well. Makes sure you’re eating, reading, and overall happy.
You still can’t tell if he’s doing it because he’s continuing this odd research or because he wants to. However, even with his masked smile and standoffish nature, you still wheedle into his heart. He could never get angry at someone who just tries SO HARD to impress him. 
Absolutely appreciates that you join him on pranks that have to do with Lucifer. That’s the only impulse he feeds. Well, that and you curling up with him and a book until you are snoozing against him. Yes, he strokes your hair like a cat and smiles.

i haven’t officially posted my own treasure planet headcanons, so that's what this is! some of this might be ooc but i don't really care because they are fun to think about, so yeah, enjoy!
this is gonna be long so i’m gonna put it under a keep reading
it makes me so sad that they supposedly don’t keep in touch at the end of the movie, so that's where headcanons come in. Jim and Silver went thru WAY too much to not keep in touch, Silver couldn’t leave Morph without being able to see him again either (Silver literally refers to himself as Morphs ‘dad’ in one scene!!) they at least send letters or have some sort of burner phone, with Silver being a wanted criminal and all. for a while they probably just sent letters, Jim talking about the academy and Silver sending little gifts from his escapades such as a lava rock or an especially interesting coin. Jim keeps all the gifts in a box, along with the letters but if he feels especially attached to a gift, he’ll set it on his window sill of on the rim of his mirror. as much as I like the idea of Jim getting Silver a jitterbug/ladybug, realistically Silver would be the one to set the idea into motion. Jim gets a larger gift and its a little phone, made of parts that Silver could scrap together (or on he found in a shop on a traders planet), he immediately sets it up and texts Silver. it was really nice for them to talk in real time and were probably already discussing the idea, even though Silver could get caught, so Jim was really excited about it. Jim now keeps Silver updated on life events and Silver calls every now and then to tell Jim about his travels. Silver hasn’t quite figured out how to send photos but once he does, he starts sending some everyday (including some hilarious selfies, akin to what a dad would post on Facebook).
Silver absolutely visits, for a while it was very, very scarce because he was still wanted but was sneaky enough to come and see Jim every few months. he comes and hangs out at the inn for a few days while his crew is out at bars or stocking up on items for their next adventure, as well as they know better than to fight their captain on his decisions. during these visits, Silver tells Jim (and anyone brave enough to sit near them) stories about what he had seen, creatures he had encountered and wonders they had discovered. Jim tells Silver about his time at the academy, new friends he’s made and what he’s learning, including some complicated stuff. sometimes Jim even get so into it, he brings out a textbook to express his point. while Silver is pretty smart, he has no idea what Jim is talking about (because its usually math and obscure facts) and usually just smiles and nods as Jim rambles. (lol this may be me projecting my ADHD onto Jim but i have the feeling he info dumps to people hes comfortable with)
speaking of the academy, i think despite all the combat training and captaining that Jim is learning, i think Jim would be really interested in math. like a surprising amount. it would probably be difficult to start off but once he did, hoo boy he could not stop. there were some hurdles he had to face but eventually he landed in a pretty advanced math course (not the highest but still pretty up there, maybe like calculus or applied mathematics). knowing some math was important as a captain, having to deal with probability on a ship in the Etherium, but Jim was fascinated by numbers and the way they made up the world. i think he would be really interested in physics or theoretical stuff, which is difficult but i think he could do it. he probably uses his previous experiences in space to help him visualize the math, which helps a lot.
the first time Silver came to the inn, Jim practically tackled him. which was no big deal since he’s almost double Jim’s size, Silver was more worried about Sarah and what she thought of him being a pirate and all. Jim assured him that everything was ok and he asked her but Silver still felt a bit nervous. he felt like he was intruding on her territory. but while Jim had run upstairs for something and Silver stood sheepishly in the doorway, Sarah came over with a smile on her face and shook his hand. he wasn’t expecting that at all, he was more ready for a glare from the kitchen or even a talk about ground rules. Sarah talked to him about how excited Jim was (she was also kind of excited, she had met plenty of pirates and was almost as fascinated as Jim was) and how she was grateful for Silver staying in her sons life. Silver felt much more comfortable after that and they started talking too, (not sure if it would be romantic or not, it would be cute but i love them just being friends as well) they became pretty good friends. Jim loved it, even if they weren’t married or Silver wasn’t biologically related to him, he felt like he had a full family again. when Jim was busy or sleeping, Sarah and Silver would chat over coffee or in the kitchen while Sarah cooked, Silver helping. Sarah would probably rope Silver into helping her at the inn once she learns he can cook and he kind of falls into a routine. come see Jim, hang out, when Jim is busy/out, go put on an apron.
(this one is 100% projecting lol) this is a pretty loose hc, especially since it started as a joke but now i really like it. i think Jim, as well as Silver, is transgender. Jim wasn’t really expecting Silver to be trans, as are most (he passes super well lmao). i mean, many pirates were gay, why can’t space faring ones be trans? hell, Silvers crew probably has a slew of queer folk among them, if not all of them being some sort of LGBT. body modification looks like a regular thing in their world, so i think Silver has already had top surgery, whether he was planning to or not. by that i mean that i think Silver could have been injured, woke up and found that something was missing. worried he may have become more cyborg, he checked, winced and found that bandages had been bound around his chest. ‘well that's out of the way’. despite not wanting to be vulnerable around his crew, most of them if not all of them know he’s trans since most of them didn’t see it as some sort of weakness, it was just who you were. (if ya’ll are interested, i have some crew hcs like gender and sexuality but this post is mainly about Jim, Silver and Sarah)
(continuation of the trans hc) when Jim came out to Silver, there’s a moment of silence between them. in Jim’s head it was awkward, but in Silver’s, things started clicking. Jim was worried Silver didn’t understand and quickly explain but Silver comforted him, and explained that he understood. Jim was the confused one now and Silver quickly cleared that up, explaining that he too was trans. Jim was relieved, confused and surprised. he hadn’t expected that outcome but that wasn’t bad, if anything he thought it was cool. he had more in common with his adoptee-dad than he had thought. Silver now makes sure to emphasis his compliments when Jim is working, hoping to boost Jim’s ego and make him feel better. it works and Jim feels even more comfortable in his own skin. (i have another part about Silver taking Jim to get top surgery but they would need Sarah’s permission first, not that she’d say no but Silver doesn’t want to encounter her wrath xD)
i’d like to think that Silver takes Jim up on his ship, not for plundering but just to sail around. the new crew had already seen Silver in action and decided nobody wanted to question him about Jim, especially since he was causing any trouble. eventually Jim couldn’t really visit Silvers ship anymore, being a Navy officer and all but that was ok, Silver still came to the inn and Jim had his own ship/s.
Silver knows all the drama around town, mostly because Sarah hears it fro customers and then gossips to Silver about it. Silver will come in, say hello and she’ll start, he’ll probably respond with something like ‘no way, they did that?’ and then he’d listen as she worked.
when talking to Jim, Silver refers to Sarah as ‘ma’ and Sarah starts referring to Silver as ‘dad’ since they have become Jim’s collective parents, and it doesn’t bother either of them.
after Jim lets Silver get away at the end of the movie, Silver stays on his own for a while, though no one knew that. he got a larger boat, just big enough for him and he wandered planets, drifted through space, just thinking. he wasn’t sure what to do next, he was a wanted man but he also had no crew. the thought of settling down passed in his mind but he couldn’t bring himself to do it, he was comfortable in the Etherium, he would get cabin fever after a week. so he continued being a pirate, it was rough work but he loved being among the stars, exploring the galaxy. Jim knew this and didn’t want to push Silver to stay at the inn for a long amount of time but they still made it work.
Silver has little experience with children, having none of his own until Jim (i’ve seen people give Silver children as his backstory but he doesn’t strike me as that kind of guy, not that he wouldn’t want kids but he’d have to choose between family life or pirates life. that's too much for him.) the most experience Silver had was with helping people at port and with his crew, anyone young enough to need guidance and smart enough to listen.
Silver loves music but really only know sea shanties, drinking songs and some old folk music, but he can still be found singing with his crew and humming while he’s working. Jim on the other hand listens to a lot of music, especially after treasure planet. (this is assuming they have all the music we have xD) he listened to brooding teenage music before, like Teenage Dirtbag or bands likes Greenday, but now he has a few shanties on his list as well, plus some classical music for when he’s studying or relaxing. he also listens to ABBA, either because he just likes them or because his mom plays them in the inn.
Jim, Sarah and Silver have way more pictures of each other now. the inn now has multiple family photos with Silver included, Jim has a framed image of the three of them and Silver has a little scrapbook. it’s the only thing he’s ok with having on his ship, still worried about being seen as ‘soft’ (even if he is a big softie and everyone knows it).
Silver usually wears a pretty simple working outfit with his nice coat and hat but when he does want to look nice, holy shit does he do it well. sometimes when he’s dressed up he wonders why he doesn’t do it more often just for fun but then he thinks of the countless times he’s had to throw out shirts stained with blood. he would never let that happen to his nice clothes.
i really like the idea that if things had been different, Sarah Hawkins would have been a pirate, and a damn good one at that. maybe she wasn’t in this life but that doesn’t stop the occasional daydream and questions to Silver about his lifestyle. he offers to take her on his boat when he takes Jim and she hesitates but says yes in the end. Jim definitely didn’t get his wanderlust spirit from Leland. (this is a little ooc for Silver but not for Sarah, i 100% believe she would be a pirate) maybe after Jim joins the Navy, he buys a small boat, big enough for him and his mom and they go on trips where they just enjoy the Etherium.
you cannot tell me that the second Silver was out of earshot on the long boat that he didn’t cry his eyes out. motherfucker may know how to hide his feelings but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have them, he’s a sucker and he knows it. when he gets more comfortable around Jim and Sarah, he finds himself getting way more tearful from touchy feely stuff. Morph being cute? sobbing. Jim called him dad? waterworks. literally anything that tugs on his heartstrings? has to go to his cabin to cry his eyes out. the first time Jim and Silver met up again, they both just started sobbing.
Silver, Jim too probably, has PTSD (sorry if i get anything wrong, i’m not sure what else to call it) to an extent. it isn’t intense to the point that he gets overwhelmed with emotions and has flashbacks (unless it has to do with his missing limbs) but he does have some nightmares and prepares for the worst in most scenarios. Jim has to remind him that the bang at the door wasn’t pirates, it was just a unruly customer and that the silhouette he saw outside was just a passing ship, not canon fire. Silver apologizes every time, despite not doing anything but switch to his sword and brace but he can’t help but feel bad for worrying them. i can’t imagine the kind of terrors he has about loosing his limbs.
Silver, when he detaches his arm, will forget he only has one hand. sort of like that video with the astronaut back on Earth, but instead of gravity, he keeps handing stuff to his cyborg hand, dropping the item and they being confused when he can’t find whatever he had. he’s just so used to it by now, he’ll even gesture with his missing hand and not realize he can’t convey what he’s doing. Jim has been asked to hand his stuff, Silver will try to grab it without look and ask Jim why he didn’t hand it to him. Jim has to remind him that he doesn’t have his cyborg arm, leaving Silver apologizing. its always lighthearted between them and they joke about it but Jim knows Silver is still bothered by it a little.

I was tagged by @feveredcharm to post 10 characters I fell in love with in 2021 some time ago, drafted this post before tagging people and then promptly forgot about it 👍
So these are going to be exclusively characters from Chinese media because I literally ... did not get into anything new in 2021 that wasn't in Mandarin. 😂
Sorted chronologically (in order of when I started liking them) because why not.
1) Lan Wangji (The Untamed) - I remember saying, at some point, "I have a headmate like that." Except he actually reminded said headmate of a younger, kinder version of himself so that was cool? I absolutely headcanon him as autistic and generally just,, love him. He is beauty, he is grace, he will break all the rules for Wei Wuxian and no one saw that coming. A+
2) Nie Huaisang (The Untamed) - I watched the whole series 3 and a half times in a row (yes...) and on my 3rd watch I made a game out of watching only NHS anytime he was on screen at all, which was highly entertaining. I can't really explain why I love him so much except that he seemed very relatable in the early days (flashback), and the later developments were just fascinating. I've got this headcanon that he had a chronic illness early in life that made him faint frequently, but over time he got better/learned to control it and simply never bothered to inform anyone of this 😈
3) Wen Kexing (Word of Honor) - where do I even start! He is such a trickster, his backstory is heart-wrenchingly tragic, there's a scene that makes 100% of trans viewers go "oh so he's trans," he has magically induced amnesia about past trauma, his shameless flirting is incredible, he is played by Gong Jun, what more can I say. Also, kudos for pulling off "crazy villain" (he's not the villain of the story but yk) in a way that makes me relate instead of being annoyed?? (Sometimes u just want to go feral)
4) Shen Wei (Guardian) - another one for the "I have a headmate like that" collection, but also omg I just love him so much. All three, uh, versions of him. Sexy professor Shen Wei is my favourite, I guess? Also definitely autistic, you can't stop me.
5) Zhao Yunlan (Guardian) - considering that he's practically a cop, it's impressive how much I like him. Must be the shameless flirting, again. 😂 And he's just so chaotic. Doesn't know how to sit like a normal person. Terrible at taking care of himself despite having a chronic stomach ailment (mood). Probably has ADHD. What's not to love
6) Wu Xie (Daomu Biji/The Lost Tomb/etc., henceforth shortened to DMBJ) - ah, Wu Xie. 😍 I don't think I ever used the phrase "comfort character" before him. The thing is, I would actually want to hang out with him because I know he would neither judge me nor find me boring, and how often does that happen?! Especially TLT2!WX is very close to my heart - the way he just seems to be bursting with love and compassion and curiosity. But I like Seasoned Adventurer WX, too, and I'm so glad he gets a happy ending after all the shit the story throws at him. That is also highly comforting!! He is very easy to headcanon as gay and arospec IMHO.
7) Wang Pangzi (DMBJ) - it's hard to sum up this character when he's so different in each adaptation, but above all he's delightfully weird. The writers don't always treat him well, which is a shame because he's amazing when they get it right. Definitely some manner of neurodivergent, often gives off strong queer vibes as well, sometimes gets to be fat and fashionable and extremely cool at the same time, mom friend, alternates between being the voice of reason and participating in the general chaos; I would like to summon him to cook some delicious food for me please. And have a movie night together.
8) Zhang Qiling/Xiaoge (DMBJ) - XIAOGE!!! My ... poor little meow meow. (No but seriously, he is such a cat.) I have a lot of feelings about this character, what with the amnesia and the trauma and the way he rarely speaks, which imho definitely comes across as an inability to speak at least as often as it seems to be a choice. But his friends just accept this. He is loved. 😭 Xiaoge's entire story is about the desire to find out who he is, as well as maybe learning to see himself as a person with needs and wants instead of a weapon/tool who must sacrifice himself to protect others. Needless to say, I cannot get enough of this
9) Hei Xiazi/Hei Yanjing (DMBJ) - what an absolute disaster. My favourite raccoon in human form. "I'm dropping hints that I'm immortal." Gives no fucks, may have minor crisis upon realising that he accidentally developed A Feeling. Somebody help him
10) Xie Yuchen/Xiao Hua (DMBJ) - ok so I exclusively credit Ultimate Note for this character's inclusion on the list, although TLT2 Xie Yuchen is also pretty great (and sexy, and slightly terrifying). But in UN he is just- *gestures wildly* I could write a whole essay about this. I won't do that in this post. Suffice it to say that he is also headcanoned as trans by nearly everyone, for good reason, and everything about him seems strangely subversive - I can't figure out how much of that was on purpose. I realise I just said almost nothing in a lot of words, but if I tried to get more specific, it would become an essay. Aaaaa
Honourable mentions: Wei Wuxian, Ye Baiyi, Gu Xiang, Ye Zun, Da Qing, Liu Sang, Huo Xiuxiu, Zhang Rishan, Liang Wan. (3 of these are women, I'm so sorry none made the cut hgfsgs)
I'll use this as an opportunity to find out what some of my long-term mutuals are into these days ... struggling to remember usernames tho 😅
Tagging @lyriumrain @egregiousderp @miss-dansukker @icryyoumercy @bengesko @tiredragedemon @downwarddingo @yeahlikethebird @faunmoss if any of you feel like doing this!

Motivation During Lockdown
Headcannons for my lovely fellow Pascal Rascal @agentdaiquari​!
I was just gonna ask, if you could write a headcannon for each boy (Whiskey, Frankie, The Max’s, Oberyn, and Ezra) how they would help you get motivated and up and moving? Cause of lock down and my adhd brain I’ve gotten extremely lazy and I’ve fell into doing everything last minute again.
I really hope you enjoy these! I had a lot of fun writing them!
|| Writing Masterlist ||
Get added to my Taglist!
Tumblr media
Jack (Whiskey) Daniels
Jack Daniels is an absolute sweetheart when it comes to looking after you during lockdown. He’s looking after everything in your place, doing all the chores and keeping the house organised for you so all you need to focus on is your work and what you need to get done. He wakes you up with sweet morning kisses and pulls you out of bed playing soft music to gently wake you up. Jack would be working with you keeping you motivated and on task by working beside you. He also brings you food and water so that you’re always looked after. He’s supporting you by looking everything you could need, taking all the unnecessary things off your plate. Once you’ve finished everything for the day, he makes you a lovely dinner and afterwards he pulls you into his arms as you dance to one of your favourite songs. Swaying together as you rest your head in the crook of his neck as he tells you how proud he is of you.
Frankie Morales
Frankie Morales is an absolute angel getting everything you could possibly need to finish your work. He’s also your biggest supporter. He wants to get invested in whatever you’re working on so he can learn more about your passions and your work and help you out in whatever way he can. He wants to be someone you can bounce your ideas off and share your thoughts with. Frankie is so excited for all your new projects, “You can do anything you put your mind to mi pequeña estrella. You’re the smartest most incredible person I know. You’ve got this.” He always gives you a little burst of kisses all over your cheek to make you laugh so you’re in a good mood to work. He loves hearing your gorgeous laugh before he lets you focus. He comes in to check on you when your focused, bringing you water to keep you hydrated and kissing you on the head in reassurance throughout the day.
Maxwell Lord
Max Lord is all about hard work. He doesn’t want you to have to struggle like he did so he wants to make sure you succeed in everything you do. He gives you a motivational pep talk whenever you’re struggling to focus. “No ones going to make it easy for you mi Corazon. You have to take what you want and what you deserve. You have to work hard and show everyone what you’re made of my darling.” He wants to motivate you and push you because he knows how much you’re capable of and how much you can accomplish if you set your mind to it.  But he’s also ridiculous at the same time. He spares no expense when it comes to you and motivating you is no exception. He buys you everything you could possibly need for your work and your projects. If you needed to fly all the way to Venice just to see a certain play, he would do that. Anything to support you.
Max Phillips
Max Phillips loves to push you to your full potential, he helps you wake up early so that you can start working earlier like you want to. He helps you organise your day by creating plans for what you need to get done. “I just want you to have a plan so you can work effectively darling.” The fact that he’s a vampire and barely sleeps means that he helps you wake you up and helps you stay up. But once your work and projects are done for the day, he helps you relax and get some good rest by curling up next to you in bed so you can fall asleep on his chest for a peaceful night’s sleep. He stays awake stroking your hair as you rest, humming Romanian songs softly so you can gently drift off to sleep ready for the next day of hard work.
Oberyn Martell
Oberyn thinks the best way to motivate you is to promise you rewards and gifts for working hard. “My little lion, what should be your reward after a hard day’s work? My princesa deserves the world, maybe I can treat you to some dessert later.” He’s also your biggest supporter, showering you in praise at every opportunity he can possibly find. Even if he doesn’t quite understand what you’re doing. “You’re just too smart for me little one. You’ll have to teach me angel.” He loves to hear about everything you’re doing, listening intently while you explain your work and your projects. Of course, at the end of the day once all the work is finished, he takes you out into the gardens as the sunsets, bringing a small little basket so the two of you can bask in the dying light of the day drinking fine wine while you rest in his lap and slowly drift to sleep while he caresses your hair.
Ezra
Ezra just wants you to relax during this tough time. He knows how hard this has been on you and he wants to help take the pressure off and refresh you so you’re ready to work and stress free. He loves to run you a nice hot bath with some soothing soaps and essential oils to help clear your mind. He lights a collection of candles around the bath, turns the lights off, and plays some calming music so you can sink into the bubbles. When you get out and get ready to start your day, he makes your favourite warm drink and walks you to your office where a small fresh bouquet of flowers sits next to your work. He went out to pick them while you were in the bath, bright and lovely colours with a soft aroma wafting from them. He wants you to have something that reminds you of him while you work, something that will make you smile whenever you look up from your desk.
Marcus Moreno
Marcus Moreno being the nurturing man he is wants to look after you by spoiling you. His favourite way to do this is to wake you up with breakfast in bed to start your day off perfectly. He cooks you your favourite breakfast, making a complete mess of the kitchen in the process. He brings you your meal on a little tray with evidence of the mess he’s made on his forehead where he’s wiped his brow and accidently smeared one of the ingredients. With a beaming smile he pulls you into his chest to rest on his shoulder. “Only the best for my little one, to start your day off right darling.” He’s also stocked the kitchen with all your favourite treats from the farmers market in preparation for the long week ahead. He also helps you with whatever your doing giving you advice and suggestions for whatever you’re doing. He loves to share all your achievements with everyone who will listen, friends, family, even the server at the Starbucks round the corner from your house.
Pero Tovar
Pero Tovar will force you to do your work whether you want to or not. After falling back asleep curled up in your sheets after your alarm has gone off, he will gently nudge you, waking you up. When all he hears is grumbles in response, he lifts you off the bed, cradling you in his arms as he carries you to your workstation. Plopping you down in your seat with a grunt as you protest. He leaves and comes back with a warm hearty breakfast to get you started for the day. After placing the breakfast next to your hand, he pulls your gaze towards him by tugging your chin with his finger. As you look into his eyes, he smiles at you. “You can do it mi amor, I know you can.” He waits, watching you finish your breakfast taking the dishes away once you’re finished, he kisses you lightly on the shoulder and leaves you to your work.

Since you like Luz and Camilla's bond and since it's Luz appreciation week, would you give some headcanons you have about how they interact after Camila finds out about the isles?
I don’t remember when this was sent but it’s certainly not Luz appreciation week anymore lol
But imma still answer it because I love Camilla Noceda
Luz, for the first time probably in Camilla’s presence, picks her words very carefully. I think she’s relieved beyond belief that she’s in her mother’s arms again, but then once the initial reunion is done, Camilla puts her hands on her hips and Luz just sorta shrinks and laughs nervously because what do you even say????
I think it’s a lot of culture shock for Camilla at first too; much like Luz jumping at every little thing when she first arrived, Camilla is on edge 24/7 even with her daughter explaining how things work. How no, there’s nothing wrong with that demon, he just is a sentient slime and is totally chill. Or yeah, that demon does like eating the flesh of the living, but like, only if you piss them off, so just leave them be and you’ll be fine. Camilla has to keep her head in like, Emergency Nurse Mode in order to remain calm and not scream at everything (she still screams at a lot of things).
Camilla is mostly just overwhelmed I think? So Luz takes things super slow. As much as she would love to just tell her mom everything, she knows this is already a lot after not knowing if they’d ever see each other again. So I think Luz just sorta...sprinkles in new information into conversation. She DOES tell her about Hexside though because Luz has never loved school so much before and she knows her mom would love to hear about that.
I think it takes at least a week or so for Camilla to like. Get used to the Demon Realm in general? And after that point Luz starts telling her more stories of the adventures she’s gone on and magic she’s learned how to do. And don’t get me wrong, every single story makes Camilla want to just take her baby back to the Human Realm and lock her in the house so she’s never in danger like this again, but she’s also seeing how much Luz has grown; how much more mature she seems, how grounded she’s become, and it’s all this growth that makes Camilla see how much this world has helped Luz. So she holds her tongue as she watches her baby girl gush about everything she’s done and learned, because she looks so happy. And Luz was happy in the Human Realm too, but it wasn’t nearly this happy. Her happiness in the Human Realm was always tinted with a hint of apprehension, an underlying sense of resignation at the expectation of not being accepted by her peers.
I can’t remember which post it was, but I know I said previously that for the first few weeks, Camilla absolutely despises Eda. Any time Eda throws her two cents in to a story Luz is telling, Camilla just glares at her with a sort of murderous look that makes Eda pause and go silent again. Camilla has the right to be angry, sure, Eda should’ve sent Luz home the moment Luz showed up in the Demon Realm. But, she also gave her a place to sleep and food and knowledge and a familial love that Luz treasures. She’s given experiences that really shook Luz up overall (like facing Adaghast and Piniat), but allowed her to learn how to separate fantasy from reality. At least, in private conversation Luz explains as much, but now Camilla just wants to be petty because she never thought she’d see her baby again after she discovered Luz never went to camp. And to find out she’d been under Eda’s care this whole time? Oh Camilla wishes she could just throttle that woman’s neck for not bringing her baby back to her sooner.
Luz I think is mostly just scared that her mom won’t accept this new life Luz has made for herself. She’s on edge for as long as her mom is on edge and is only able to relax when she sees her mom start to get used to her surroundings. The apprehension is always there, just sort of simmering in the background, at least until the day she comes back to the Owl House after an outing with Lilith and sees Eda and her mom having a civil conversation. And not just civil, they actually look like they’re enjoying each other’s company ?? Camilla’s petty grudge against Eda seems to have completely vanished in the time Luz was out with Lilith and now they’re chatting like they’re best friends. That’s when Luz finally lets out the metaphorical breath she’d been holding this whole time. Her family, both versions of it, aren’t at odds anymore.
It still takes a lot of talking between them for Camilla to really accept the reality of it all. Luz will always be her baby, that will never change, but it’s hard to watch Luz grow up and make her own life-changing decisions and put herself in dangerous situations. Camilla has to remind herself to put herself in Luz’s shoes and really think about why Luz is so much happier.
I don’t know how this compromise shakes out tbqh. I’d like to imagine they have to sit down and really discuss what Luz wants to do next. Because as much as Luz loves the Demon Realm, is it actually what she wants? Does she really want to only live in the Demon Realm? She’s still a kid; opinions change as you age. I think they find a sort of compromise with Luz agreeing to be “home-schooled”. She needs to finish her human education before she devotes herself entirely to life in the Demon Realm. That way, at the very least, if Luz decides at some point in the future that she wants to go back to the Human Realm more permanently, she’ll at least have her GED under her belt. Luz is only hesitant because she’s already got so much work as the only All-Track student at Hexside, but that’s a better compromise than being forced to leave the Demon Realm and start attending Human school again.
Camilla’s seen her fair share of kids coming into the hospital with concerned parents, she’s attended to some of them personally and discovered they were in because the child was suffering from debilitating amounts of stress. She knows it can be hard. She was learning how to raise her own baby when she was still in school after all. She gets it. But she insists that Luz at least finish human high school online; she can get tutoring if need be, but she is not just dropping her entire life to go pursue life in the Demon Realm. Not on her watch. She’s going to make damn well sure that her baby is prepared for life in either Realm.
So Camilla rolls up her sleeves and gets to work; she formally pulls Luz out of public school and starts researching online schools with flexible schedules. She makes sure Eda is in on this plan too; she will NOT be making Luz work for her potions business OR Human Collectibles stand unless absolutely necessary (as in, Eda and Lilith are both unable and they are in dire need of funds and only Luz knows how to Turn That Profit™️). If Luz is caught up on ALL her school work and wants to chip in on Eda’s businesses, then yes, she can go, but not until then. Eda’s sort of sour about that (she’d never admit it in a million years but she loves having Luz at her stand; having company is nice and with the whole No Magic thing, they’ve been spending their downtime studying and practicing glyphs) but she lets out an over dramatic groan and agrees. (Luz, somehow, in what little downtime she has nowadays, draws up actual lesson plans for Eda to go over on the weekends when she can’t join her at the Human Collectibles stand. Eda adores them because 1) holy shit, her apprentice is so fucking talented, look at her GO and 2) Luz adds??? All sorts of cute encouraging notes??? In the margins of her lesson plans???? And little doodles too and it’s Eda’s favorite part. It’s almost like Luz is there with her going over the lessons with her goofy commentary).
On Camilla’s days off she’ll head over to the Demon Realm and help Luz with her (human) homework to the best of her ability; she knows it’s hard and Luz has a lot of stuff on her plate, so she helps her calm down her overwhelmed ADHD brain by helping her sort out what work she has and organizing it all into Doable Piles. Whenever she helps Luz with her homework, it’s all peppered with stories of various things Luz and her friends did that week. Camilla always uses that to her advantage; the more she learns about the things that are exciting to Luz, the more ammo she has in making her Human Homework more interesting. She’ll use analogies to Luz’s stories to make whatever homework thing relatable and will hide a sneaky smile whenever she sees Luz’s eyes light up with interest/recognition. She knows how her baby’s brain works: Luz will only do the homework if it interests her. If it relates to her friends? Sure fire method of getting homework done.
My brain has been absolute mush in the last like, month?????? So I apologize for how late this is ! But thank you so much for the ask, I love Luz and Camilla’s relationship, you’re so right. <3333

INTRODUCING...
          HALLE BAILEY, CIS WOMAN, 20, SHE / HER   ⟨  ✽  ⟩   hey, you haven’t bumped into nia williams lately, have you ? they have been living here for the past two years ( during the school semester ) and during that time, locals have gotten to know them as quirky & charming.  a little birdie told me they can be quite vain & devious  though. explains why they’re an architecture major at whitby university. they really remind me of field time at six am and still making your eight am looking flawless, spandex shorts under short skirts paired with high heels you can run in, && impeccably manicured hands handling any power tool with ease. if you’re ever looking for them, i bet you can find them around the retro room. 
HIGHLIGHTS...
          the daughter raised by a single father, a former nhler, though also with the help of his teammates’ wives and girlfriends — a unique situation that shaped her life ; a lover of beauty, no matter what it may be, but a little obsessed with it when it comes to herself ; tiny but with a nose for scoring, speed, and elusiveness on the field that’s made her a two time women’s soccer mvp and she’s only a junior ; sometimes comes across as a little ditzy and airheaded, but though she has the look of a girly-girl, looks can be deceiving and certainly don’t underestimate her ; has an incredible knack for turning old things into new and desired items, mostly with regards to furniture and knicknacks.
Tumblr media
THE STORY...
— cole harbour, nova scotia, the birthplace of sidney crosby the next one, eight years later — nathan mackinnon, and six years after that : nia williams. her birth was unplanned, however ; her mother only twenty and working towards med school. her father a halifax mooseheads player just having fun at her conception, now twenty-two and playing out his dreams in the nhl with the montreal canadians.
— things always work out in the end, though, and at twenty-two her father became her sole guardian and growing up quite a bit in the process, her mother vanishing from her life at that point and never re-entering.
— she was technically raised by a single father, but she was also perhaps raised by the veterans on the team and most importantly, the wives and girlfriends of her father’s teammates whose care she was left in the care of during games. it was them that taught her the things that her father couldn’t, and nia never wanted for her mother, that space happily and willingly filled by almost two dozen women who were older sisters, mothers, aunts... they were family.
— but even with all the make up and fashion advice, nia was very much her father’s daughter as well : crawling around the outdoors, going one-on-one on the ice, swimming in the ocean and still looking flawless while doing it. michael williams was a good father in the end, and grew into the role.
— she play hockey and soccer growing up, seeming to have a nose for offense, as elusive on skates as in cleats. nia could’ve been great at both sports, was great at both sports, but in the middle of high school she made the switch to focus on soccer full time. her passion for the ice remained, but the opportunities in soccer were stronger — and she loved the outdoors, loved the field in the early hours of morning.
— it was in the summer after grade 11 that she was offered a scholarship from whitby university to play women’s soccer ( amongst others ), but whitby fit the bill for what she wanted, and port briar reminded her a lot of home in cole harbour with the chilly sea. so after graduation, she was off to whitby to play soccer.
— on the college scene, it became obvious that nia simply put, was a star. a small but ever elusive forward who had speed that didn’t seem possible with her stature and an ability to score like no one else. the campus loved her, the team loved her, and opposing teams loved to hate her on the field. she was named mvp of the team as a freshman, a feat she would repeat her sophomore year as well. she’s currently gunning for her third.
MISC...
— architecture feels like an odd choice for those who don’t know nia well. she tends to come across as a little bit of an airhead, ditzy, not always the greatest with common sense. but she is actually quite book smart and sometimes, the ditziness is just a bit of an act. she had fostered a bit of FASCINATION with arenas having been in so many growing up, she began to harbor a desire to design one ( and to do it better ). sketching had been something that held her attention when she needed to be seated and still, and that fit in perfectly. after entering whitby undeclared, nia found herself drawn to the architecture department and program, officially declaring at the end of her freshman year.
— nia is hardly ever still : tapping fingers, jumping knees, sitting and then standing. she was diagnosed with adhd when she was seven. she is medicated for it now, but it also still manifests in attention deficient for her, leaving a wake of unfinished projects in her wake. sports had been one of the few things that held her attention, kept her occupied, and one of the few things she worked to hone her skills in.
— because of her tendency to jump from one thing to another, it’s no surprise she had a litany of hobbies that she’s tried : you name it, she’s likely tried it once. everything from yoga, to sewing, to painting, to rock climbing. in some ways it’s made her a bit of a jack of all trades, though she always comes back to soccer in the end. 
— however, one of thing did stick, kinda. in high school she took a woodworking class and from that spawned a hobby of furniture upcycling. her father had always been good with his hands and she knew her way around power tools, still does. she takes great pride in being able to fix things to be usable again, and loves to shop around the retro room or drive around port briar looking for things left at the curb. it can’t be a huge project though, like anything, if it’s not done in one go, chances are she may never return to finish the project. 
— she lives in an off-campus apartment this year after spending the first two in dorms. she’s looking forward to having her own space and kitchen ( even with roommates ).
— rigid schedules help her to keep organized when her natural tendency is to fall back into messiness and chaos. living with a neat roommate has helped her in some ways, because though messiness is her tendency, she finds that neatness helps her to keep focused and on track. being reminded to clean every week has been good for her.
— her favorite color is red and she has a penchant for red nails and red lipstick.
— her father is now an assistant hockey coach in the ncaa, but not at whitby. she sees him when that school in in town though she’s always rooting for whitby. her summers are spent back in cole harbour and she is still in touch with some of the wives and girlfriends who she’d been so close to.
— she’s an early bird, as odd as it is. she’s always loved sunrises over the atlantic ocean. you can find her either on the field or out for a run in the early hours, and then when the snow flies, likely doing yoga.
PERSONALITY...
— on the surface nia is very much a pretty girl. always looking flawless, a little ditzy, a little shallow. her smile is her weapon and she uses it to get people on her side. she likes people to like her, though one might hesitate to truly classify her as a nice girl or a mean girl. she ends up falling somewhere in the middle as most people do, never mean without cause but not friends with anyone. her enemies aren’t always obvious, something kept under wraps with petty glares and muttered comments. she doesn’t go looking for trouble, but if it crosses her path she meets it head on. her soccer star status has endeared her with some and made her just as many enemies, especially on their rival teams. she’s generally sweet to everyone she meets, but wrong her and she’ll be the first to be shit talking behind your back.
— men and women alike find her charming, something that suits her tastes. she’s been in a fair number of flings, though nothing that she ever saw as longterm. nia in general doesn’t look at the big picture, which has frustrated some who saw something more with her. but people still love her all the same. it’s a power she pretends to not know she has, but she’s more devious than her lipsticked smiles portray her to be.
— she has a thing for looks, rarely looking less than pristine herself, even in the middle of practice on a hot pre-season day. beauty, she’s been told, starts on the inside, and she does believe that, but helping along the outside never hurts either. she likes to feel good about herself, and comfort doesn’t always take precedence.
— nia always has a schedule, but at the same time, she’s almost always late. time management is a thing she’s still working on, and the only advice is to tell her anything is fifteen minutes earlier than it is.
— she’s a pretty girl, but has never felt like she had to stick to that box. instead, she has a way of just looking flawless no matter what that does. people judge her from her appearance and she knows that, but she also relishes in being able to prove people wrong. she knows her way around a math class and almost every power tool there is, she’s not afraid to get dirty --- just looking bad, so she’ll find a way to make mud look flawless. she’s obsessed with beauty, just not always the most conventional forms of it.
APPEARANCE...
— 5′0″, built lithe and fast.
— style : cute and cottagecore on the daily, but isn’t afraid to toe the line into edgy for nights out. a bit of “hardness” can make its way into her outfit in blacks and faux leathers matched with flowy silks and puff sleeves. she can make the switch from “good girl” to “bad girl” as quickly as she wants, depending on how she’s feeling that day.
— jewelry : an absolute sucker for jewelry. often is on esty too often despite her already extensive collection of bracelets, necklaces, and rings. her style is often dainty jewelry, though she doesn’t discriminate.
— tattoos : a small butterfly on the back of her left shoulder
— scars : several small nicks and almost invisible ones
OOC...
hiiii. it’s ollie again ✌️😎... and bc i normally play hockey bois... here’s my self-indulgent tie to hockey via nia whoops.

Six Notable Attempts at Baking the Best Cookies Ever
Three updates in three days???? 
@mechanismszine I’m only like nine days late for this one! And more are coming!
AO3
(I totally restructured my entire ao3 organization because of an adhd/caffeine fueled breakdown, so please be patient with me)
The Toy Soldier had a mission.
It was a mission of it’s own choosing. There were no orders associated with this mission, no strings attached or people to please. In all of it’s maybe-existence, this was the first time the Toy Soldier could recall having a mission like that.
It liked the feeling, it thought.
The mission was simple enough in theory, but it had been years now and the Toy Soldier had yet to succeed. It was determined, with all of it’s wooden heart, to make the best damn cookies, ever.
The criteria for what made a cookie the best possible cookie were quite simple. If all of the Mechanisms liked the cookie, it had no option but to be the best. The Toy Soldier’s friends had such differing tastes that if it could make a cookie all of them liked, it had to be good. No, not good. Perfect.
~~~
Re-sequenced spinach cookies had been the first attempt.
According to Nastya, the octokittens liked the re-sequenced spinach. The octokittens were known to eat anything and everything they were fed, but the Toy Soldier decided that would be as good a place as any to start. It found an old recipe book in a back corner of Ivy’s library, and found a sugar cookie recipe that seemed simple enough. To make sure there was enough re-sequenced spinach to be noticeable, the Toy Soldier decided to replace all the sugar in the recipe with powdered re-sequenced spinach.
The cookies glowed when they were done, but so did half of them food on the Aurora on any given day, so the Toy Soldier figured they were fine. When it finally found the rest of the Mechanisms and offered the batch to them, only Raphaella agreed to try one. She seemed rather pleased with the result even if it wasn’t as sweet as she was expecting, but she also died seven seconds after declaring so.
As far as the Toy Soldier knew, that was not normal for cookies.
~~~
Gunpowder cookies had been the second attempt.
Gunpowder was most definitely not fit for human consumption, but neither were gasoline and ethanol and Ashes drank both of those on a semi-regular basis. And the Toy Soldier knew that Gunpowder Tim very much liked gunpowder and other explosives. It extrapolated that he would probably enjoy a cookie that tasted like one of his bombs.
The sugar cookie recipe still seemed like a good starting point, and given what little feedback Raphaella had provided, it decided to leave the sugar in as directed. Instead, it replaced the flour with the gunpowder. There were so many white powders required for cookies, removing one seemed like it would be fine.
Tim had taken one look at the cookies, and walked away without a word. The Toy Soldier thought that was probably very rude, but given that half of the cookies had exploded in the oven and the other half made rather interesting clunking noises when dropped, perhaps not.
~~~
Chocolate chip cookies had been the third attempt.
The Toy Soldier had entered the kitchen on the fourth day in a row (the third day had resulted in a failure that need not be discussed) to find Marius already waiting for it. He was sitting on the counter, flipping through it’s recipe book, humming thoughtfully.
“Hello Marius, Old Chap!”
“Oh, Toy, you’re here, good.”
“You Have My Recipe Book!”
“I do, yeah. I thought I might make a request.”
“Do You Have A Favorite Type Of Cookie? I Can Make It For You!”
“Yes! Well, no, but I might!” Marius hopped off the counter and set the book down, open to a page near the back.
“I Don’t Understand!” the Toy Soldier said, walking over to look at the book over Marius’s shoulder.
“I’ve never actually tried a chocolate chip cookie, but I’ve wanted one for a long time.”
“Oh! That Sounds Like A Very Good Idea Indeed!” The Toy Soldier declared, immediately moving to collect the ingredients. “Do You Have A Specific Flavor You Wanted? Raphaella Says That Re-Sequenced Spinach Cookies Tasted Very Good, And I Imagine Chocolate Would Just Make It Better!”
“Um, just chocolate. You don’t need to add anything else,” Marius said. The Toy Soldier thought he seemed very unsure of himself. “Sometimes, simple flavors work best.”
“Well That Is A Lovely Idea! I Will Make You Plain Chocolate Chip Cookies!”
The cookies had actually turned out very well, it thought. None of them glowed. None of them exploded. None of them melted in it’s hands.
By the time the Toy Soldier had found the rest of the crew and gathered them in the kitchen to try it’s latest attempt, the octokittens had eaten all the cookies that Marius hadn’t. Surprisingly, none of the Mechanisms were disappointed.
~~~
Snickerdoodles had been the fourth attempt.
This attempt was shortly curtailed when the Toy Soldier discovered that there was absolutely no cinnamon anywhere on the Aurora, and there were no planets within eighty five light years that grew cinnamon trees.
According to Ashes, the cinnamon-free cookie dough was still rather tasty, but this only came to light a week after the Toy Soldier had scrapped that attempt and obliterated the dough with obscene amounts of fire. It wasn’t sure what cookie dough Ashes was referring to, but it was somewhat hesitant to ask.
~~~
Peanut butter cookies had been the fifth attempt.
The Toy Soldier was quick to learn that Jonny was quite allergic to peanuts, a fact none of the crew had ever before had reason to discover.
For once, the Toy Soldier thought Jonny had a legitimate reason to attempt to throw it out of the airlock. The problem with Jonny’s revenge attempts was that Jonny couldn’t get within ten meters of the kitchen or the Toy Soldier without going into anaphylactic shock and choking to death.
After a week of distanced rage and declarations of murderous violence, Jonny and the Toy Soldier came to a hesitant truce that involved a very purposeful lack of both airlocks and peanut butter.
~~~
The Toy Soldier was on the verge of giving up.
This was a mission it had given itself. There had never been any orders for it to obey, so it could choose to stop at any time. It knew this. It wanted to stop, but it was this far in. It couldn’t stop now. It was so close! It just needed to try one more recipe, and then everyone would love the cookies and it would have made the perfect cookies and made everyone happy.
Hoisting itself to it’s feet, it spun towards the mixing bowls and came face to face with Ivy, Marius, Raphaella, and Ashes.
“Oh, Hello Friends,” it said, moving around them to get to the counter and begin spreading out the ingredients. “How Are You All Doing?”
“We’re good, Toy Soldier. How are you?” It was Marius who responded, voice hesitant.
“Oh Jolly Good, Jolly Good.” There was a brief, whispered discussion from behind it, before Marius stepped forward into it’s peripheral vision.
“Really? Because it kinda sounds like you’re, you know, not so good.”
“No, I’m Perfectly Fine, Marius.”
“Toy,” Marius spoke gently, bringing his hand up to it’s shoulder. “What’s wrong?”
It paused for a moment, thinking. Something was most definitely wrong, it now realized. It just didn’t know how to explain.
“What Type Of Cookies Do You Like?”
“Toy, that’s really not what we’re talking about,” Raphaella said, stepping up to it’s other side.
“I Know, Raphaella. But I Want To Make You All The Perfect Cookies. I’m So Close To Figuring It Out, I Just Need To Make The One More Batch!” It tried to put on a smile, but despite the permanent one painted on it’s face, it could tell the attempt fell flat.
“Why don’t we help you?” This time it was Ivy who spoke. “I don’t have much baking experience myself, but I know every recipe from every planet we’ve ever visited.”
“I’m really good with an oven,” Ashes added. “I even know how to not blow them up!”
“And I’m pretty good with chemistry. That’s all baking is, when it comes down to it,” Raphaella said with a smile.
“It’s really not, Raph, but that’s what I can be here for,” Marius laughed. “So what do you say, Toy? May we join you?”
This time, the Toy Soldier’s smile was much more genuine, and it nodded.
At some point, Jonny and Nastya entered the kitchen, and ended up making a batch of frosting based on an old Cyberian recipe. Brian wandered in just as the first batch was ready, and ended up being the only one who wanted to take them out of the oven. The Toy Soldier was intrigued by the fact that cookies needed to be removed right at the timer. Waiting until the oven cooled down was evidently not right, and explained many of it’s previously burned batches. It resolved to buy oven mitts the next time they touched down. Tim claimed he could smell them from across the ship, and showed up just in time to get involved in a rather vicious frosting war. 
At long last, the cookies were ready.
The Toy Soldier could say with absolute certainty that they were the best damn cookies. Ever.

constantly aggravated by how much that’s expected of adults is completely inaccessible to me as someone with ADHD, and how that constantly makes me feel like a child or like I’m incapable of being a functional person because of it
the example: i’m given a physicians bill from an ER visit back in February. it’s 2000 dollars. That’s scary and so I procrastinate on calling about it for about two weeks. I finally am able to sit down and call my insurance to see what’s up. I get through to them and they explain to me that they billed the wrong insurance. All I have to do is call the physician number and ask them to bill the correct insurance. So now this is a multi-step process.
So I try calling the physician. The phone line is busy. They have a high volume of calls. Please try again in a few days or email us. I email them about it, which also takes a lot of mental energy. The problem leaves my mind because I “took care of it”
I am reminded of it three days later. I haven’t gotten an email response yet. I try calling again. Please try again later we have a high volume of calls and cannot accept your call at the time. Or try leaving a message. I try leaving a message which also takes a lot of energy. I don’t hear anything for a few more days. This entire time it’s in the back of my mind. I’m terrified of my bill being turned over to a collection agency. I don’t have the spoons to try calling every day because every time I call I have to go through a bunch of phone menus and input personal information which takes a lot of energy.
i finally get a response to my email: please call your insurance provider to obtain the claims address to send the bill to. Now I have to do two more steps: call my insurance again (more phone menus and personal info and hold music) and THEN try once more to contact the physician with that information so they can bill to my correct insurance bc apparently they don’t know how to just send it to my insurance themselves and I have to do that for them
this is a several week, multi step, incredibly layered process that requires a LOT of mental energy where I don’t know what my end goal is because it keeps shifting, and I keep being unable to actually reach the person I’m trying to talk to. As someone with ADHD, this takes an absolutely unbelievable amount of mental energy to accomplish, and I STILL have at least two more steps to go before this can stop hanging over me. also not to mention our healthcare system is immensely fucked up
i hate it here so much. i hate having ADHD, I hate that our world is not designed for it, I hate how hard it is for me to do things like this, I hate that they make it so hard to do things like this and I mostly hate my doctor for telling me to go to the ER when I was having debilitating chest pain back in february so bad I could barely move because all they did was tell me I was completely fine and I still don’t even know what caused that pain in the first place

I got two different Asks about my headcanons for Wu and one of them was from like a week and a half ago, sorry about that, Anon! It’s been A Week. I’ll just answer this way, it’s easier than trying to cobble together two separate asks.
In any case, yes, I can give a sort of quick and dirty reference to Wu as I’ve written him in my fanfic. I don’t generally like doing this kind of thing but I get that people don’t want to dive in without at least a little bit of a clue as to how I see him. But I want to note that my first fic, Please Excuse My Penmanship, was written right after the show’s final episode in December of 2014 (I sat on it for two months before publishing it) and because of that it is not comic-compliant nor does it reference any sort of Word of God things that Bryke said after the show ended/on the DVD commentary.
I’ve been writing this utter behemoth of collected fics for over five years now and have done so.much.research. (Some of the history from Imperial China, for example, was so juicy that I wholeheartedly stole it and worked it into my fic.) My fic has fluff, it has angst, it has found family, it has slowly revealed backstory, it has politics, queer characters, neurodiverse characters, disabled characters, oh and a good half of it is focused on the Beifong family, so there’s them, too.
What my fic isn’t, however, is a crackship. I take it seriously; probably too seriously for someone who just wants a quick fun read on their phone between classes. So that’s good to know before diving in. 
Also, much of it is written in first person via Wu’s diaries. Some of you will probably just scroll right past this entire post now because of that but I’ll say this much: I’ve gotten, over the years, a great deal of comments from people telling me they normally loathe first person but loved Wu’s. So. It’s probably worth a try. In my not so humble author’s opinion.
With all that said - here he is!
Wu was born in the autumn of 156 (making him 4 years younger than Mako). His paternal grandfather was King Kuei’s son by his queen (making him a full-blood younger brother to Wu’s great-aunt). His paternal grandmother was a kitchen maid who was given consort status after her son was born. Both of Wu’s grandparents died before he was born. Wu’s father was the only royal of his generation to make it to adulthood and he was assassinated when Wu was five years old. Wu saw very little of him and has very few memories of him. 
Wu’s mother was a very high-ranking nobleman’s daughter whose estate was near Gaoling. She had much older parents and was an only child. (Through her Wu is very distantly related to the Beifongs and also to the Northern Water Tribe’s royal family. The premise being here is that all of the nobility around the world is related if you go far back enough.) She dies two days after Wu is born. She was very, very wealthy (like Bezos level wealthy) and Queen Hou-Ting sees to it that all of that wealth is taken care of in trust for Wu and it is still his even after the fall of Ba Sing Se.
Wu is Hou-Ting’s only direct heir and is raised in the Palace at Ba Sing Se. He has an extremely strict childhood (he never leaves the Upper Ring and only very rarely leaves the palace itself) and while he is extremely well-educated has very little contact with the outside world, much as his great-grandfather Kuei did.
When Hou-Ting is assassinated by the Red Lotus Wu is fifteen; he is rushed out of Ba Sing Se to the safety of Republic City, where he is mostly left on his own and goes to utter and complete pieces. He goes through several bodyguards before he is assigned Mako; by that time he is sixteen, has cut of his traditional queue, only wears modern suits, spends money like water, and watches every single mover/reads every single cheap novel/listens to the radio non-stop - which is where he learns all of that slang. He has zero social skills that do not involve him ruling a nation (which he is terrified to do). His weirdass behavior during Season 4 of TLOK is explained by his not having the first clue as to how real people live and thinking that he can learn by watching movers and reading romance novels. (We all know how that goes for him.)
He is an extremely self-centered person but not a selfish one; he also has a terrific crush on Mako that he has absolutely no idea how to handle due to inexperience. 
NOTE: I have not written homophobia into my version of this universe and so there is no coming out angst for any of my characters, canon or OC. There are no coming out stories at all, in fact. Many of my characters (canon and OC) are queer and I am very matter of fact about it; gay marriage is legal, polyamory is legal (although not necessarily practiced everywhere), trans people openly exist and it is simply par for the course.
By the time Wu leaves for Ba Sing Se to dismantle the monarchy he is just about to turn nineteen; it will take him two years to put provincial governments in place with an entire cadre of advisors and abdicate. He dislikes Ba Sing Se and recognizes that if he stays he will be under constant pressure to rule in one form or another, so he relocates to Republic City for good. (Mako does have something to do with where he relocates, but Wu wasn’t planning on sticking around regardless.) Many, many people are unhappy with him dismantling the monarchy and there’s a lot of political stuff in my fic regarding the Royalists.
Wu and Mako do get married. Eventually they will have four children together and Wu will have another spouse. (This is common among nobility in the former Earth Kingdom and is expected; it is not illegal in Republic City but isn’t the norm among the natives.) He buys Toph Beifong’s old mansion from Lin (her parents built it for Toph when she was pregnant with Lin but it has been sitting empty since Toph left Republic City) and remodels it and that’s where they live.
In my fic Wu has very curly hair that he pomades within an inch of its life (I’ve been loving all the fanart going around now where his hair curls!!) and he whines about it a lot. He is a very finicky eater and never really gets over bossing people around. He does a lot of charity work and is on all of The Best Committees. He’s an extrovert who loves parties and hosts a lot of them. He has ADHD and suffers from PTSD and writes and publishes very popular romance novels under a penname for several years before his family finds out about it. He will make an effort to cut the slang out of his speech and will eventually go back to sounding like a very well educated royal. He gets real pissy if people refer to him as “your Majesty” instead of “Your Highness” since he abdicated. He has zero idea how money works (and never will) but is known to bribe the fuck out of people to get what he wants (something that will give his husband gray hair). He does not hold himself accountable to anyone or anything and that will never really change for him. He mostly gets away with it because he does have a lot of charm for a dude who believes that he’s above everyone else.
He is a fairly unreliable narrator, bless his skinny little ass.
His best friend is Huan Beifong, and you’ll just have to read the fic to find out about that.
My pissy Wu can best be summed up by this gif of Prince:

The Beagle Coin
Fandom: Ducktales 2017
Characters: Louie Duck, Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck (Dewey & Huey mentioned)
Notes: Autistic Louie, ADHD Scrooge, ADHD Dewey
-
Special Interests, Louie decided, were both a blessing and a curse.
They were a blessing when they brought you joy and excitement, when you had someone to talk to them about. When they were something normal and not too out of the ordinary, because otherwise the people at school would look at you weird and laugh about your weird obsessions and- he didn't need to go down this rabbit hole right now. He didn't like to think about the other kids at school. They didn't matter. He had his brothers.
They were a curse, however, when you would never be able to complete a collection you have been working on for years. When the missing piece was taunting you oh-so smugly. When it was <i>just</i> out of reach. Close enough to grab it but with such great consequences you couldn't even dream of taking it.
It frustrated him.
Louie's special interest was money, particularly coins. And no, that didn't refer to him wanting to be rich or anything, that was a completely different dream. Having money just for the sake of spending it was really great, but having coins in your collection and knowing all of the history behind the coins, being able to talk about when they were forged, and having so much knowledge in your head you can even put your nerdy brother to shame? That was the best.
Over the course of their adventures, Louie had discovered so many coins he didn't even know existed and it made him so happy! His collection was ever growing. Back when they still lived in the marina he didn't really have a lot of coins. A few old quarters and one of every current coin, but none of them were actually valuable or special in any sort of way. Still, they had emotional value and he cherished them. He knew all the history behind why they had the coins they had today, which led to the missing piece in his collection: The elusive Beagle Coin.
Before Scrooge bought (more like stole) Duckburg from the beagles, they had already started producing some currency. It was only coins and not a lot, but they were known as beagle coins. Nowadays they were worth more than Louie's entire life and super rare, so the chance of ever getting one were below zero. Or, well, so he thought.
Turns out Uncle Scrooge has one.
He was helping Uncle Donald clean the money bin when he stumbled upon the fabled missing piece in his collection. Of course his reaction was immediate, happily clapping and bouncing as he went to show it off to his uncle.
"Uncle Donald look what I found! Look! Uncle Scrooge has a beagle coin! Can I keep it Uncle Donald, please please please?"
Uncle Donald, obviously, told him to ask Uncle Scrooge. Bummer. The old miser would never let him steal it- have it, not steal it. Louie would never steal anything, he was the most honest person he knew! Plus the stern look Uncle Donald gave him kept him from even attempting it anyway.
"Come ON Uncle Scrooge! Please let me have it? I don't want to sell it, I want it for my collection!" "Laddie, do you think I'm daft? This coin is worth thousands of dollars, I'm not going to give it to you. You will sell it and who knows in whose hands it will end up in then!"
Uncle Scrooge really was just as understanding as Louie had predicted: not at all. He wouldn't even listen to Louie trying to explain how much this coin meant to him, which just ended with him being incredibly frustrated about being not listened to, and eventually just having a meltdown. That caused a ruckus and Scrooge pretty much just kicked him out of the money bin.
Well, that was a disaster.
He refused to talk to anyone after that for a few days. It went well for the most part, even when he couldn't really stand Dewey exploding on him about how you shouldn't ignore your family. Huey brought him back to earth quickly by, very angrily, explaining to his brother that Louie was obviously listening and probably just nonverbal and that he should sit down Dewey, he's obviously not doing good!
He managed to hide his mood from Uncle Donald for a few days, not really looking forward to explaining why he refused to talk to anyone, least of all Uncle Scrooge. But Uncle Donald had dad senses, and he was onto Louie, which meant Louie couldn't flee for long. And soon enough he was cornered.
"Okay, Lou. What's wrong? You've been avoiding me for days and I can sense there's something wrong."
And Louie wasn't sure if it was all the frustration that was pent up or if it was because talking to Uncle Donald felt safe, but whatever it was, he spilled the truth pretty much immediately. He began venting about how Uncle Scrooge didn't take him seriously, and about how he refused to listen to him and how overwhelmed he felt by the whole situation.
Needless to say, Uncle Donald didn't take that too well. He patted his head before stomping off. Not five minutes later you could hear his signature anger outburst, loud and echoing throughout the halls. Then everything fell quiet for a while, and Louie briefly wondered if Uncle Donald might have fallen asleep from exerting too much energy by being angry but then he could see his uncle walk down the hallway, Uncle Scrooge in tow. He looked apologetic and Louie was suddenly very aware of the fact that Uncle Donald would probably have murdered Uncle Scrooge if he refused to apologize.
"Ah, laddie. I am sorry. Your uncle... definitely showed me how important this coin would be to you. I wasn't aware coins were your, what do you call it, special interest?”
He was fidgeting a bit and Louie could tell that the other clearly had issues dealing with neurodivergencies, despite having ADHD himself (at least according to Uncle Donald. He overheard him talking about it when he was soothing Dewey about his diagnosis, and how it was fine and normal. "Our family might not be the most neurotypical, but we are the most daring!" That had calmed his brother down a significant amount). Louie could at least appreciate that he was trying, the apology seemed sincere enough.
"I didn't mean ta make you feel like your interests weren't important, but me boy, you need to understand I can't just give you such an important artefact! It's worth a fortune." "But Uncle Scrooge I won't-" "No, I can't afford to lose that much money."
Hopes dashed, Louie looked down to the ground, ready to go back to have the damned thing taunting him. He was about to go "okay, whatever" when Donald intervened.
"How much is the coin worth? I'll pay for it." "Donald, the coin is worth over thousands of dollars." "Well, luckily my life savings are worth almost 10.000 dollars. They were supposed to get me through retirement, but this will be worth it."
Scrooge looked taken aback by that and Louie was honestly just shocked. Uncle Donald couldn't do that! Some stupid coin wasn't worth all that!
"Uncle Donald no! I don't need it that badly-"
Louie might be a conman and devious, but he was also not completely immoral, especially not when it came to his uncle. He knew that Uncle Donald was still struggling with money, so nuh-uh, absolutely no way he was taking that. Judging by Uncle Scrooge's reaction, the older duck wasn't a big fan of that idea either.
"Laddie... This coin isn't worth you wasting your life savings. Okay look, I'll trust you on this okay? I'll trust Louie to not give the coin away and I'll trust you to make sure he doesn't lose it. I don't want to take ye money."
Donald seemed to not have been expecting that, blinking in confusion a few times before smiling softly. Louie, on the other hand, was ecstatic, bouncing excitedly and hugging Scrooge before pulling away quickly and pretending that didn't happen, trying to play cool.
"Yeah, um, thanks Uncle Scrooge."
His giant grin betrayed him, but both of his uncles had the courtesy to not mention it, though Donald did ruffle the feathers on top of Louie's head, making the young duck huff a bit.
