5+1 headcanons 👀

tagged by the glorious @romirola for a dose of headcanon this evening - i'm very happy to oblige! as always you may consider this an open tag from me if you'd like to join in on the fun, and we'll do a few no-pressure tags too: @zozo-01 @halscafe @autisticempathydaemon @thicchaco @mr-laveau @penncilkid mind if i pick your brain for a bit?? 💕💕

rules: share 5 redactedverse headcanons you hold, plus 1 headcanon you're still working on!

hcs under the cut!

william and vincent may not actually be biologically related [EDITOR: insert ‘blood relatives’ joke here], but they look similar enough that people often think they are.

this is not so much a headcanon as just my refusal to accept canon, but gavin coalesced LONG before 1990 - it was actually somewhere around the mid-1700s, although he only chose the name ‘gavin’ for himself in approximately the mid-1900s, not long after the end of WW2.

gavin and vincent are very good friends - they get on extremely well, and the double dates with freelancer and lovely are legendary, for several reasons.

the prime and imperium universe are not entirely separate from each other - sometimes, they bleed into each other without anybody really realising. it’s nothing too serious - a strange feeling of deja vu, or a weird dream, or a turn of phrase that just feels… right.

as beings of emotion, demons don’t naturally express themselves physically, making facial expressions and body language very difficult for them to both interpret and perform accurately without a lot of practice. because they aren’t designed to have physical bodies, they lack an innate sense of outwardly expressing and responding to emotional stimuli.

(well, +1) gavin might never admit it out loud, but he secretly daydreams a lot about being able to transform freelancer into a demon like him. even though he knows it’s never been done before, and may not even be possible, he doesn’t ever want to be apart from them and he wants so much more time with them than their human lifespan could allow.

#redacted asmr #redacted audio #romi beloved <3 #ooh a game! #i did not include chinese vincent or the echo gavin theory here #just bc i have talked about those quite extensively already so in thought i would do smth new #i have a LOT of thoughts about demons and their relationship to physicality #it is so important to me #and its something that i have to imagine shapes almost all interactions demons have on the human plane #being poured into a physical shape when they are not naturally designed to manipulate one #when they have no natural instincts to help them to manoeuvre it or to tell them what feels right or wrong in a social sense #chefs kiss. fascinating to me

The trek back up the mountain to Cloud Recesses goes much as it usually does. (Return)

Lan Wangji does not slam the door. (FIxing)

The ceremony goes as planned, as it always does. (Mirror)

In the possessed doll au, Bruce is definitely a creepy kid.

This is, after all, a haunted au.

He looks like a 'murdered victorian child' kid. Even before he watched his parents die.

Like, very big pale blue eyes. Significantly more striking /pos as a smiling adult than a perpetually blank faced unblinking child. He looks like he knows how you die. Pale skin, ink black hair traditionally styled, big dark lashes to frame those uncanny eyes. Just the hint of eye bags.

Alfred in any timeline has a spine of steel, but there must have been at least once when he was woken up in the night to a tiny shape staring unblinkingly deep into his eyes and thought 'I am going to die'. Normal kids are absolutely terrifying to wake up to, as any parent will attest, but imagine being an ex military spy now butler living alone on the most cursed land you've ever imagined, taking care of the only kid after your employers, his parents were brutally murdered, and suddenly you jolt awake in the middle of the night to see two enormous eyes less than a foot from your face, two engorged dots for pupils, staring, still as stone into your very soul.

Bruce, hushed because it's bedtime: Mr Alfred I threw up :(.

Alfred, trying to calm his thundering heart and not reflexively shoot his ward, dizzy from the sudden adrenaline from deep sleep rush, not letting himself freak out in front of the boy:.............................. Oh dear. That's not good.

Bruce, still not blinking or looking away: :(((

Wayne manor is a setting from a murder mystery at night, and it's not Bruce but Alfred that's the main character.

Perhaps, he thinks, it was always going to end this way. Not because of fate, but because the characters of the play would not know themselves to act otherwise.

@puppetmaster13u may I present?

#Batman with the justice league: *goth so dark its almost comic relief* *logical and pragmatic strategist* *creepy but a normal enough dude* #Batman in Gotham: *supernatural murder mystery slash horror game only missing the zombies* *triple edged daggers* *fear gas smog* #Ooh I hadn't thought much of the villains but let's really lean into the haunted aesthetic for Halloween #batman #possessed doll au #cryptid batfam #cryptid batman #.... Honestly you don't really need to change the villains much #It's like that Shazam/cap marvel post. Uwu strong man with the league and fighting off eldritch horrors bent on enslaving humanity at home

The sheer pity party some alloromantics expect of aromantics is really funny to me. The expectation is that we ought to feel broken or afraid that we will never be worthy of anything if not for a romantic relationship, but as the years go on, I've been so much less inclined to feel those ways.

People expect aromanticism to feel like a prison, and I think that's looking at it wrong. My aromanticism never imprisoned me - amatonormativity did. Being aromantic taught me that I can never and will never be "made whole" through romantic attraction. Amatonormativity teaches that to be whole is to be pursued, to be in love, to be possessed, essentially. Being aromantic has freed me of those expectations because I had to break those chains in order to truly understand what will make my life worth living.

I've been finding more and more that being allo will never appeal to me - I don't give a flying fuck about allo being "normal," and frankly if being normal means being allo, I simply just won't be normal.

#aro #aromantic #lgbt #lgbtq #throw a pity party for me because i died in this video game i'm playing (i am booboo the fool who refuses to eat health items) #bro why must i be so fucking stubborn like. 'ooh look at me i'm at three hearts but i won't eat the hoards of health items i have.' #like. come ON. #but yeah. if somebody expects me to be groveling about how i'm not alloromantic and allosexual i will chase them and bite them #i will make sure they have to get a rabies shot (hyperbole but you get the spirit of how strongly i feel about this) #like i'm not even *that* aro but i still hate the idea that i need to be mournful about it. i'm celebrating this actually #it's one less thing for me to stress about yo

"Mister Bashir, what a pleasure it is to finally meet you."

Julian, why in god's name would you invite him to play the villain?

#my art #ds9 #julian bashir #elim garak #star trek deep space nine #garashir #image desc in alt text #pencil #ok so on the outset it may look to some viewers as though julian invited garak to play the villain to get dommed by the scary lizard #this is not the case. not in my heart #in my heart julian felt a burst of something funny when Garak asked him ''what if you'd killed me'' #and he responded ''what makes you think i wasn't trying'' and garaks face blooms into a sudden understanding and respect. ooh. #That's that heady shit. catching garak off guard. ooooh. that's that High Quality Endorphins Happening. but. gotta pack that up for later #(he will not unpack that later) because garak also just threatened to kill 5 of his friends who are STILL IN DANGER. NO TIME FOR THIS. #so after everything. and MONTHS after OMB. he invites garak to something like a playful rematch. sort of. #after all theres only so long that garak can stomach being a sidekick u know? he needs to be able to do his own machinations. #so they make a character for him thats a villain. a little more cerebral than falcon. a little more ambiguous in his motivations. #now there's also. a secret game at play here (there are always games. doctor) and its actually between garak and his own self #you see garak Also wants bashir to defeat his character. he also wants to be shocked. challenged. a little dismantled even (state forbid!) #and because garak wants that for himself? hes going to fight tooth and fucking nail to make sure it doesn't happen. #that Gayle clip from ''COMPANY IS COMING'' but its garak yelling ''WE CAN'T LET THEM KNOW WE [WANT]!!!'' #and its a horrible idea for both of them but. oh so so exciting #you understand. #these rituals arent intricate so much as they are transparent but all encompassing. a fish doesnt know its swimming in water until its out #you understand? you understand. #thank you to anyone who found the time to read these tags i hope you enjoyed yourself and/or found what you were looking for #also garak is dressed so boring bc hes hiding himself u know how it is

Giiiiiingeeeeer~~~ 💕💖

Rise and shine~ I bring some questions for you~ ✨️

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

pink is talking about this ask game (still open!)

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

haunted stare. the one problem with writing about cannibals is that it inevitably results in a lot of googling re: the logistics of killing and eating humans, e.g. what aqueous humour (fluid that keeps human eyeballs inflated) tastes like, and what happens to the viscosity of human blood if you freeze and then melt it

🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate

[head in hands] apologies to shaw pack enjoyers but asher gets on my wick faster than you could believe and i won't apologise for it, although there are of course good things about his character:

his arc in the imperium: cataclysm is absolutely fantastic and the bits where he's arguing with vincent are so entertaining

i have nothing but respect for men who are comfortable enough in their masculinity to be unashamedly switchy without feeling like it's beneath them

he talks about star trek in exactly the same way i talk about the doctor who revival so i have to give credit for that

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

i am being so fucking serious i could not in good faith allow even a single one of these go unappreciated, so do consider this a top 3, in reverse order of recency:

@spookybeandoodle's alexis, who lives unparalleled in my heart forever and ever, she is the most gorgeous woman in the world and i love her to pieces

@sri-rachaa's gavin, who remains the most beautiful birthday present on earth, and who has the excellent distinction of being from sweet rae my wonderful friend from internet

@sincerelywhistler's vega, who ate my heart so intensely that not only do i think about that man every single day, but also whose resplendent ponytail has written itself into the next installment of my vega + warden series

#ooh a game! #thank u for the ask i am sorry it took a little while #redacted asmr #if you have never seen any of the above fanart you have been missing OUT #in the museum of my mind they hang in the most special gallery #behind bulletproof glass like the mona lisa #pinksparkl beloved <3

#dragalia lost #dragalia #Michael #michael dragalia #I dont think I've ever put this much thought in a composition in my life it went from like #ooh i should draw michael from the back so i dont have to draw all dat stupid shit in the front #to heyyy if i make the shading Green he will resemble those dope ass bronze church statues #alongside the heart frame wings thing #it's not Entirely accurate to his in game wings but Whatever fuck it we ball. I am not drawing all that. #Michael Wave

[spitblaze]

in case ur having trouble figuring out why using a news article of a singular person who happens to be a minority who did something really bad isnt good proof that the entire minority is evil. allow me to explain by way of this xkcd comic

#spitblaze says things #i just. do not know where tr/-anspho/-bes get off #posting one(1) article of some transfem lady who did something horrendously shitty #and then go 'well clearly this is how all of them are #thats a lie. i know how. its confirmation bias #if you gather enough individual news articles you could convince anyone of anything probably #every time i see te/-rfs doing that i wanna go 'ooh i can play this game too!' #and then post a bunch of articles of people getting killed by vending machines and drawing the conclusion #that vending machines are dangerous killers and we cant have them anywhere near children lest they turn into one themselves
