#so in my heart he is still ace but in-canon he’s definitely not

Random little One piece modern AU thoughts and I guess scenes I had about mainly Luffy
1. Luffy is the best guy to take to karaoke. While he isn’t the best singer he’s also not the worst. However he sings with his whole chest and heart and will sing duets with anyone no matter how lovey or metal. His energy always brought everyone out of their shells he just has a bad habit of singing when it’s not his turn
2. I feel like in a modern AU Luffy would still be friends with a lot of the people he met in series just under different conditions. Like water 7 instead of the mayor almost being assassinated he just. Met him. Like on good terms. idk, maybe Luffy saved tyrannosaurus and now they just exchange animals pics and the occasional “hey I’m heading to insert place where should I go to eat” and Luffy just introduces the Baratie with no heads up to Zeff and Sanji and when Sanji spams the group chat freaking out he just says you’re welcome :D
3. Luffy keeps the contacts of everyone he’s met and keep them under their nicknames. Monster granny, hammock, split head ect. It’s the only way he can remember them after all. When nami had gotten nosy and decided to go through his contacts she obviously asked who tf ice pops was. Imagine her surprise when Luffy confidently answers that it’s the mayor from a few towns over.
4. In a modern AU the ASL brothers were totally still bush kids. Like. Dadan’s (probably community house) was right by the woods and they would have a similar childhood to canon with less killing wild animals. But they also a thousand fucking percent had a Nintendo Wii. Like Ace and Sabo fought tooth and NAIL for player one and Luffy was banished to player three with the dingiest controller known to man (not even the safety strap could protect that thing from getting tossed at the tv) And speaking from my own experience as a younger sibling Ace totally spent a whole summer trying to unlock every character in Mario kart.
5. Law met the straw hats in collage at 2 am when they got kicked out of a bar and he was trying to mind his own business. While they saw him in their intoxicated state and said “you’re my friend now :)” Law was genuinely worried half of them had alcohol poisoning. An hour later he found himself in one of their apartments two of them passed out. One of them throwing up. All while he makes a grilled cheese for Luffy, the so called infamous man on campus who is crying sitting on the floor cause he’s starving. Law stayed the night to make sure none of them drowned in their own vomit and like imprinted baby ducks they have not left him alone since.
6. Luffy has been going to riots and movements for years. He started going with Sabo and Ace growing up when they were teenagers and hasn’t stopped. He also never thought to mention it to any of his friends until they saw him on the news at a protest absolutely fucking SENDING a tear gas canister back at the cops
7. I kinda wanna believe while devil fruits don’t exist in modern AU the character still has quirks semi related to their fruit. Like Robin is just, double jointed everywhere and could bend her arms and fingers in all the worst ways. Luffy can either contort his body to hide in tiny places OR he has stretchy skin. It’s nothing more then party tricks but it is cool
8. Luffy was definitely a gymnastics kid. Not in like. The competing sense. But in like the, one of the adults in his life would drop him off there twice a week for an hour. Did he participate with the other children and learn how to roll? NO! He was flinging himself full speed into giant foam mats and climbing rock walls without a harness. He was a menace to society and he was only taken to blow off some energy and it WORKED. Until he was kicked out.

I said I’d do it. So I’m doing it.
Here are all of my Twst headcanons. Have fun
This isn’t ship heavy but my ships are mentioned, so just so u know in advanced what I ship (my main ships anyway, I’m a massive multishipper but this is who’s in this post lmao)
Florid, Adeuce, Leovil, Jamiazu, Rugkali, Treyjade, Idikei
Also I’m keeping a counter of how many times I say some form of “I need to/i want to write this as an actual fic” cuz I say it a lot
I’ll be linking the shitty HC photo edits as we go, they’re mentioned a bit
I wrote this on mobile so the formatting is dogshit! Let’s go
Heartslabyul
Edits
🌹Riddle Rosehearts🌹
Bi/Demi
Genderfluid (He/she/they)
Misc:
Has a British accent, I’m pretty sure this is basically canon but I thought I’d put it here anyways.
In my head the Queendom is very much like the UK, Riddle’s accent is very posh where as Ace’s for example is heavier and less posh. This has to due with them growing up in different areas and also Riddle just generally being more well-spoken
Riddle is very gender… genfluid Riddle is a headcanon I’ve had for a while. In my head Heartslabyul refers to their housewarden as “Queen” as a gender neutral term (Think Valkyrie from the Thor films being referred to as the King despite using she/her pronouns, it’s like the inverse of that for Heartslabyul), but I have this whole train of events in my head of Riddle coming to NRC and being referred to in a more feminine light, and despite it being looked at as a gender nuetral term/tradition, Riddle sort of takes it to heart and realizes that they’re not as cis as he once thought lmao
I think it was probably a similar train of events that let her to realize they’re bi, I’ve written WIPs in which Floyd was his bi awakening and others in which it was a pre-NRC realization.
(And now we get into the really random stuff, just the random BS that I’ve been hoarding in my brain for the past however long I’ve been into Twst lmao) Riddle really likes rollercoasters. I can see Floyd or Trey taking him to an amusement park and Riddle being very nervous/scared to get on the coasters but ends up loving it, I imagine she’s a big fan of anything that makes you feel “free.”
They try to cook/bake… they try so hard… but no matter how much Trey helps him, it always comes out burnt or otherwise messed up. She can probably make simple things, like cookies or simple soup recipes, but anything more complicated than that and the entire kitchen is in flames lmao
Afraid of needles but wanted to honor the Queen of hearts tradition of extravagant earrings. Cater pierced their ears for them and she cried <3333
I need to write this as an actual fic (1) cuz it’s a cute idea in my head but Floyd was one of the first people Riddle said smth to abt being Less Than Cis, and Floyd is just Riddlesexual atp so he’s like “oh, swag. Wanna make out?” After Riddle goes on a half hour rant abt their gender crisis. This one fic “Queen’s Tea” by princesscas on Ao3 is rlly sweet and is where a lot of my genfluid Riddle HC comes from, I recommend to any Florid shippers
Hates classical music cuz his mom always played it. Likes stuff like Mitski and TV girl
They got that yummy religious trauma…. was probably raised catholic
❤️Ace Trappola❤️
Bisexual
Transmasc (He/him)
Misc:
As I mentioned in Riddle’s, he has a heavier/less posh British accent, sort of cockney. He makes fun of Riddle and Trey’s accents for sounding “stereotypical”, despite the fact that the entire basketball team mocks his accent lmao
Contrary to popular belief, I think Ace can cook! Definitely not as good as Trey, but he can certainly hold his own in the kitchen.
Considered the best freshman on the basketball team, he’s not as good as some of the upperclassmen but is still a great player.
Deuce was his bi awakening… he was the most annoying straight boy until about a month into NRC. I have a whole story in my head I need to just write an Adeuce fanfic instead of trying to summarize it in a tumblr post (2)
Definitely listens to 3oh!3 and similar bands. If you put on the song “everywhere I go” by Hollywood undead on in front of this MF he will sing every word. Riddle hates this
Designated bug killer of the basketball team. Jamil ain’t doing it and Floyd isn’t either just so he can piss off Jamil. Sometimes Ace is a shit about it though, he kills the bugs every time but often times will be annoying about it, whether that be whining or shoving it Jamil’s face
Once ate so much cherry pie during an unbirthday party that he threw up, everyone expected him to not be able to stomach cherry pie anymore but he immediately went in for another slice after he came back from being sick
He’s half English half Filipino
Thinks he’s too cool for sunscreen so he’s always burnt… also always bruised/scraped cuz he’s reckless and stupid
Forgot to edit them in but he has braces
Has ADHD
Some more abt him and his trans swag will be mentioned in Jamil’s segment (btw vote Ace on the Twst Transmasc poll)
Got an eyebrow piercing to be tough and cool (he cried)
♠️Deuce Spade♠️
Gay
He/him
Misc:
Definitely got made fun of for being gay by his delinquent buddies in his middle school days, I imagine he tried to keep that part of him under wraps when he came to NRC as he has this perception that it would taint his perfect image. Then he realizes no one in this fucking school is straight
Looks odd from an outside perspective compared to the rest of the track and field team. Obviously Jack is the biggest guy on the team, but the rest of the team are still quite muscular/tall. Deuce is very muscular for his height, but he is still short compared to the rest of the team. He sometimes gets picked on for it, but Jack always defends him (And no one wants to fuck with Jack because he’s like 6’4 and built like a fucking excavator)
When he found out where eggs come from as a kid he definitely cried. He probably still feels bad about it every time he eats them.
Autistic. I don’t have any prior evidence or any points to prove here. He’s just autistic
Also dyslexic and has ADHD
Besties with Ortho… they r little buddies and they’re so cute
Used to have a few facial piercings but took them out when he decided to switch up his image (he had a nose stud and dolphin bites). He kept his ear piercings in tho
He has heterochromia. Why? Because I said so
Korean deuce is v real to me btw
Tbh idk what kinda music he’d like… maybe classic rock? I can see that
♦️Cater Diamond♦️
Bisexual
He/they
Misc:
Was definitely raised on the internet
Is the reason that half the NRC staff tries to use internet slang, Cater cringes every time they use it severely wrong
Since most ppl in Heartslabyul are from the Queendom, Cater definitely felt outcasted in the start due to his different accent lmao. In my head he definitely has a Cali accent
Will randomly say things like “have you ever heard of Among Us?” Or “at least you’re not… Freddy Fivebear” whenever the room falls silent. Riddle hates this
Definitely a Sanrio guy… specifically pompompurin and kuromi
Not as big of a gamer as Idia but still games casually, into stuff like Splatoon and Animal Crossing, Idia’s taught him more about video games over the course of them dating but he prefers more chill/casual stuff like that. He also plays stupid mobile games all the time
Started as an instagram influencer and now he has a YouTube channel… it will only get worse from here
Laughs/talks in slang at the absolute worst moments. Riddle can be having an absolute mental breakdown and Cater’s like “this is what happens to you when you don’t like and hit that bell”
Huge K-pop fan… specifically groups like Twice and Loona. He’s gotten Ace into it too, tho Ace usually listens to stuff like SKZ and EXO
Cater’s room is always a mess. Trey will be in the kitchen like “where’d all the water glasses go?” While Cater nervously side-eyes the 14 empty water cups and soda cans on their desk. There’s plushies and books and other random shit all over the floor, Riddle says his room is a tripping hazard (to which Cater responds with ‘your shoes are a tripping hazard ;P;)”
Used to be housewarden before Riddle. Became housewarden in their freshman year and only kept the title for about a year before Riddle came in, at first he was salty but he made fast friends with Riddle due to already being close with Trey.
Loves horror movies/books
Has a few facial piercings cuz he thinks they look cool (bridge, nose stud, spider bites)
🍀Trey Clover🍀
Pan
He/him
Misc:
I did not change much in this edit lmao… I gave him earrings and an eyebrow slit thats all (got both of those things cuz of cater)
He was Cater’s vice HW too, so nothing changed for him when Riddle took the spot. He made friends with Cater on pretty much day one, and Cater didn’t know anyone else from the school at the time, so he picked Trey as his vice.
Better at baking than he is cooking, but is still great at cooking. Basically trustable with anything related to the kitchen
No clue what kind of music this man likes. Though he probably unironically listens to 1985 by Bo Burnham bcuz Cater and Ace kept playing it for him
Was sort of in denial about it when he first realized he liked Jade, but he wasn’t trying to repress it or anything. It was just sort of a “well, these are feelings that I certainly have, and I’ll see where they go, I guess.”
He ends up being the one to confess first via cake… I need to write that scene augh (3)
He’s a lot more devious and teasing than he lets on, influenced by Rook and Jade lmao. Especially with Riddle, he knows the right middle ground to not piss Riddle off but still have a jab at him. Not to self promo but my first ever fic on Ao3 “Favorite Twin” pretty accurately depicts how I see Trey
Savanaclaw
Edits
🦁Leona Kingscholar🦁
Pansexual
Agender (he/any)
Misc:
Pan and any pronouns because he literally just does not care who/what you are or who/what you see him as
Stubborn af abt it so they’d never admit this but is super proud of the whole spelldrive team, especially Epel (I’ll go more into their dynamic when I get to Epel). He really enjoys being captain despite not putting in 100% effort all the time.
Definitely has a guilty pleasure for romance novels and movies, would never be caught dead though, so he only watches/reads them in the dead of night when no one’s awake
I do not know how to edit hair but in my actual headcanon design he has locs so that’s how I always draw them
Corneal scarring in right eye, completely blind in that eye so she has pretty shit depth perception
Got a lip piercing at 14 to piss off Falena, ended up liking it so he’s gotten more facial piercings over the years. Falena doesn’t actually care, in fact he thinks they look cool. Their parents on the other hand aren’t too keen on it. Leona definitely did some of his piercings themselves, but piercings getting infected is a hassle that she just doesn’t have the time or energy for. At the moment has vertical labret, shark bites, nose stud, septum, and eyebrow
Has a type for people that can put up a fight/definitely just kill him (same)
Listens to bands like spiritbox and in this moment… don’t ask why she just does. It’s a feeling
Can cook! Doesn’t do it often bcuz he’s lazy as fuck but is capable of it
🐺Jack Howl🐺
Gay
He/him
Misc:
Has a massive respect for all the housewardens and upperclassmen, especially Riddle and Vil. He respects Leona, but thinks he could be a bit less lazy
He doesn’t really like how intimidating he looks, since a lot of people are scared of him when they meet him. But as we all know he’s just a 6’4 puppy dog. He’s definitely the “scary dog privilege” friend to the first years and anyone else he’s friends with
Likes upbeat workout music, no artists in mind but he does listen to that one the rock song unironically
The whole track team was shell shocked when they found out Jack was gay. Jack didn’t properly come out, just made some off handed comment and one of the other track members took it and ran with it (pun intended). He’s not embarrassed or concerned about it, but people throughout the school get surprised when the rumor reaches them
That one 16 year old that’s noticeably hairier than the others, it’s the wolf in him
Idk if it’s canon that his tail wags like a dog but. It is now
Definitely made friends with Riddle after he found out how much Jack respects them, they have a very wholesome friendship and Ace is annoyed that Riddle is, as he puts it, “invading his friend group”
🍩Ruggie Bucchi🍩
(Why is there no hyena emoji??)
Bisexual
Transmasc (he/him)
Misc:
I do not know when or why I started drawing him with gyaru/gyaruo makeup/fashion but I did and it has not left me
Always wanted piercings growing up, especially after seeing all of Leona’s, but never had the money to get them done. Leona did his lip piercing for him in his freshman year, aaaaaand it got infected, but they fixed it! Eventually
His relationship with Leona starts as a purely business thing, with Ruggie needing cash and Leona needing someone to do his dirty work, but it becomes a more wholesome dynamic, somewhere in the range of a friendship (though Leona would never admit that). Leona has money to spare so he pays Ruggie a lot more than the tasks are worth, and Leona has even said a few times that Ruggie doesn’t have to work for him as hard as he does, but Ruggie says he still wants to help out. Leona also buys Ruggie stuff a lot, like clothes or jewelry he likes, since Ruggie can’t afford it himself. Leona treats the spelldrive team to a nice dinner out once in a while, too.
Loves to annoy Leona on social media, and just people in general. His twitter handle is some shit like “2kool4school900” and he bombards everyones feed with stupid shit every chance he gets
Absolute besties with Kalim and Silver, but is also quite close with Jamil. He’s really the only person that’s good friends with both the Scarabia duo, so he knows all about both sides of the story.
Ok it’s time for kaliruggie. I know it’s a rarepair but I am so fucking insane about them. I wish more ppl shipped them bcuz they’re so AAAGHHH I love them so much
Initially Ruggie felt sort of guilty about it when he realized he liked Kalim, considering how far the divide is with them socially. He felt like Kalim was way out of his league and that even them being friends was hard to believe and didn’t wanna ruin what they already had. I imagine he told Jamil about his feelings and Jamil pulled out the “It’s Kalim, You’re Fine” and Ruggie realized that you could literally stab Kalim 6 times in the chest and he’d still be like “hahaha ur so funny lmao ur my best friend 🫶🫶🫶” so he really had nothing to worry about
I feel like he listens to like 2000s/2010s hip-hop/rap lmao
A lot of ppl think he bleaches his hair cuz it’s darker at the roots but it’s actually just sundamaged
He’s Brazilian btw…
Lotsa moles and freckles cuz he’s a spotted hyena
Octavinelle
Edits
🐙Azul Ashengrotto🐙
Gay
He/him
Misc:
Indirectly based on a Drag Queen so I’m obsessed w the idea of him being one… holding drag nights at the lounge and Vil just fucking shows up normally
Excellent cook, but doesn’t do it much cuz he’s so busy and also not confident in his abilities
Got sick of the twins eating octopus while looking him dead in the eye so the first thing he added to the mostro lounge menu before they opened was an eel dish, now it’s a battle of him vs the twins of who can make the other feel the most uncomfortable by making direct eye contact while possibly consuming the other persons relatives
Merfolk speak a different language (I imagine it’s similar to or just is Danish cuz the little mermaid is a danish fairy tale, tbf we don’t exactly know where it’s set but I just kind of assumed), but Jade and Azul started learning English pretty early in life, so he had no issue with changing language for nrc
Will get so pissed at you if you use the wrong plural for octopus
A lot of people thought initially that him needing glasses was a byproduct of turning human, but no. Octopodes have shit eyesight, they’re nearsighted and colorblind.
Absolutely loves animals. I mean, he grew up underwater, so he’s never seen any land animals in person before. There’s probably been one or two occasions where he’s tried to pet a feral cat or a wild opossum and gotten his hand bitten lmao
Has octopus pupils and white/blue freckles. Yes, the freckles are bioluminescent
Octopodes have blue blood, which is true in his human form too! So he blushes blue and it’s very cute. He’s very bbg
His merform is big. Like, big. I’m talking 30-33 foot long tentacles. Like dude can easily take down fishing boats. My man is a KRAKEN
He’s Italian+Danish :)
A man that listens to Mitski… he’s also probably one of those guys that listened to Inside by Bo burnham and didn’t shut up about how it changed his life for 2 months
For my Jamiazu specific headcanons, see this post!
🦈Floyd Leech🦈
Pan/Demisexual
He/him
Misc:
Oh good lord where to even start with this mf
Both the twins are hard of hearing in my HC cuz eels have shit hearing lmao
Tha twins are also danish+japanese btw
Bridge, eyebrow, and lip piercing. His lip ring is actually from a fish hook getting stuck on there lmao
Eyebags cuz our boy does not sleep <3 he stays up all night doing stupid shit and regrets it the next morning
Loves horror movies
Didn’t grow up learning English like Jade and Azul did cuz he was stubborn about it, so he struggles a bit more with it than the other two do and his accent is a bit heavier. He texts riddle at 3am like “HLELP I FORGOT THE ENGLISH WORD FOR THIS THING”
Idk what kinda music he likes and im frankly too scared to ask
Picks random stuff up off the ground and gives it to ppl as gifts (or just eats it)
My wip fic goes pretty into detail abt him and Riddle fell for each other, but I’ll elaborate here too. It was basically love at first sight for Floyd, when he saw Riddle at orientation he thought they were the most beautiful person to ever exist and was determined to make friends with him. Turns out Floyd came off a lil too strong and made a bad impression, so now he’s constantly trying to get Riddle’s attention to make up for the fact they probably hate him
Lots of scars from fishermen cuz he’s the more outgoing/confrontational one that always tries to defend against the fishermen. In my HC, and this ties into Azul hiding away so much, octopus merfolk are considered delicacies. In fact, merfolk in general are considered quite tasty to humans, so the octotrios had a lot of encounters over their years. Floyd just happens to sustain the most injuries cuz he’s Floyd.
Again, I do not know how to edit hair, but he has longer hair than Jade! It’s kinda like a mullet honestly in my head… Flullet is real and coming for u
Floyd cleans up really nicely… he joined Riddle for an unbirthday party and actually dressed decently and Riddle almost couldn’t show up cuz they gay panicked so hard
ADHD clearly
🍄Jade Leech🍄
Pan
Non-binary (they/he)
Misc:
Loves bugs and animals
Has that autistic swag
Bridge + dimple piercings
Always has to get Floyd out of fisher’s nets
They are also very gender…. They have no gender, he’s the type to see a worm or a cool plant and say “me. My gender” which, I mean same
Has been high on shrooms before, first time wasn’t on purpose but the following times? No comment
Way more physically affectionate than you’d expect. Seems kinda stand-offish and solitary but clings to Trey like a koala.
He’s sort of similar with Trey to how jam is with Azul, possessive but not in a toxic way
Scarabia
Edits
🦦Kalim Al-Asim🦦
Bi/Demi
He/they
Misc:
Let’s go the man of the hour, my husband
Has ADHD. Like so badly. Is also autistic
Avid K-pop listener. Especially twice and SKZ. Him and Cater got Lilia into it
Realized he liked Ruggie way after he started liking him, he’s a bit slow w realizing his feelings lmao. He told Jamil about it who honestly didn’t give two fucks and just wanted Kalim off his ass (then eventually finds out Ruggie likes him back so Jamil has to watch these two fuckers be oblivious to each other for a painful amount of time)
Has befriended the twins, much to Jamil’s chagrin. Those three are the reason Jamil is prematurely graying
Nose stud and spider bites he got cuz he thought Jamil’s were cool
They have a lot of scars, not as many as Jamil but still enough to be noticeable. Both from stuff that happened in his childhood and also falling off his carpet
Idk when I started drawing him with vitiligo but I did and it stuck
Tooth gap? Tooth gap. Yes
🐍Jamil Viper🐍
Gay
Transmasc (he/they)
Misc:
Alr here we are the other man of the hour. My fave
Has a bunch of piercings, he got them for the same reason he started growing his hair out, to have something about himself he could control (Idk if that reasoning for his long hair is even canon or if I just pulled that out of my ass). He’s the reason Kalim got the few piercings that he has. Jam has snake bites, labret, both eyebrows, bridge, nose stud, and septum (which I forgot to edit in lmao) also tongue piercing
Has a lot of scars, not just on his face. He’s gone through a lot and done a lot to keep Kalim safe, a lot of it leaving them injured. He’s not self conscious of the scars persay, but he does hate people asking questions about them.
Plays guitar… idk why… he just does
Plays video games with the basketball team sometimes, he had a long streak of kicking their asses until Floyd beat him in Mario kart one day and he has not forgiven him. The two now have an ongoing rivalry when it comes to video games
I go a tiny bit into my HC for the basketball trio dynamic in my fic “butterscotch”, but I’m gonna elaborate on it a bit here. Jamil didn’t plan to make friends when he joined basketball, kind of adopting the “hot loner guy” persona. He didn’t hang around anyone in his freshman year, but Floyd kinda picked on him specifically for a while. Floyd and him kinda became friends-ish in their freshman year, Jamil didn’t want to admit that anyone was their friend, but did hang out w Floyd a good bit. Floyd and Ace made friends come the next year and Jamil ends up roped into their friendship and thus the trio is born, Jamil finds them both annoying but still plays video games w them and hangs around them after practice.
Considers Ruggie the closest thing they have to a “best friend”, will claim up and down that he doesn’t have one but those two have been hanging around each other since freshman year and got closer after GloMas. Jamil was a little salty when Ruggie started basically dating their boss, but considering Ruggie was still working at Mostro when Jamil and Azul got together, Jamil basically did the same thing.
Woo Transmasc projecting time! Jamil went stealth for as long as possible, Kalim being literally the only person at NRC that knows, and Jamil intended to keep it that way. They told Azul when they started dating and Ruggie eventually, and decided he was content with that and even three was too much for comfort. Kalim runs his mouth and can’t keep secrets so Jamil was always weary even if he knew Kalim would never deliberately out him. Eventually, (and imma be vague abt this despite having an entire story in my head bcuz I might write this as a fic(4))Ace, who’s also a stealth trans guy, gets outed to the basketball team. Floyd and Jamil take it upon themselves to deal with anyone who’s an asshole about it, despite Ace’s insistence that he doesn’t need help. The team for the most part doesn’t care, but a few are weird abt it as well as a few ppl outside of the team. Jamil doesn’t tell Ace that he’s also trans immediately considering Ace just got outed and Jamil’s being cautious, but he tells him after a little time has passed and the two get a bit closer over it. Floyd finds out about Jamil eventually too
His mf frequents Reddit… specifically r/aita
His music taste is very varied. He seems like the kinda guy who broods and listens to boyloser bands, and he is, but like his top artist was also probably like Gwen Stefani or some shit
Really looks up to Leona after book 6. Their dynamic consists of glancing at each other when someone says smth stupid (much like how you’d glance at the camera in ‘the office’) and Leona being Jamil’s unofficial therapist who doesn’t actually gaf
Has a forked tongue and snake eyes bcuz being human is boring! He has gorgon in his bloodline
Pomefiore
Edits
👑Vil Shoenheit👑
Pan
Genderfluid (he/she)
Misc:
Theatre! Nerd! Knows every word to an uncountable amount of musicals.
Has a nose piercing. Around the same spot as the wart on the evil queens nose in hag form but it’s also just refreshing to see a ‘pretty’ type character with facial piercings
His hair is a little longer in my headcanon but I didn’t rlly convey that w the editing
You wanna talk about denial? Let’s talk about Leovil
Vil hated this mf. He was visibly rolling his eyes every time Leona bothered to speak, be it at a housewarden meeting or just in general. Then Leona doesn’t show up to the housewarden meeting one day (prolly overslept) and Vil was like… hey… why do I kind of miss his stupidity… then over the course of a few weeks gets to “guys… Leona might be hot” until eventually Vil falls and is NOT happy about it. I probably should’ve included this in Leona’s part but I’m too lazy to go back up, Leona’s realization wasn’t as conflicting… they just were kinda like “Vil’s a bitch” -> “Vil’s a bitch I actually wouldn’t mind kissing” -> “Vil’s a bitch and I am madly in love with him”. Only thing deterring Leona from Vil was Rook…
After a while Rook just stopped letting him cook but like in a passive aggressive way. Basically the “fresh off the grill!” “Was the grill turned on, beloved?” Kinda thing
🍎Epel Felmier🍎
Gay
Transmasc (he/him)
Misc:
Can’t see it in the edit but he has bunny teeth! He’s also missing a tooth from falling out of an apple tree
Acne cuz he has skin struggles like Deuce, half cuz he’s got stubborn skin that resists all skincare (same) and also just cuz he’s tryna rebel against Vil lmao
Looks up to Leona a lot. He was initially doubted by the Savanaclaw/spelldrive guys cuz he’s so small, but he proved himself very quickly. Leona’s super proud of him and praises him more than most of the other kids, and Epel is kind of an honorary Savanaclaw member, he respects Vil as a housewarden but just doesn’t think he’s the right housewarden for him. He feels more himself/comfortable with Leona, like he can talk in his accent and not hide anything around him. The dynamic got a bit more awkward when Leona and Vil started dating, but Leona overall understood Epel’s confliction and vowed to never expose any secrets that Epel wanted away from Vil.
He was stealth for a while w being trans, he told Jack first at NRC, then Vil and Rook, then Leona, then eventually it spread until most of the school knows. It has mixed reception, but considering the knowledge also comes with the knowledge of who’s on his side has been beneficial cuz most average nrc assholes aren’t looking to get beat up by Leona Kingscholar on a Thursday afternoon
(And Leona will deck the shit out of anyone that says anything bigoted about anyone)
🏹Rook Hunt🏹
Bi
Transmasc (he/him)
Misc:
I may not have much to put here cuz I don’t like Rook lmao
More open abt being trans than all the other tboys we’ve discussed. He helps Epel a lot w it
Idk if this should be here or with Epel but whatever. During VDC, Epel was kinda low stamina and off his game quite a lot during rehearsals. Rook showed concern and noticed this earlier than anyone else, come to find out Epel had been binding while dancing and just generally not doing it safely. (Totallynotspeakingfromexperience) Rook, who had been in very similar situations before trying to bind during hunting trips in super hot weather, taught Epel how to safely bind while being active and just in general while also being careful to not out him to anyone on the team that didn’t know (since this was before it became widespread info and only a select few knew.) Epel was getting generally dysphoric around the whole VDC thing and this is how he came to find out Rook is also trans, and by extent, Jamil and Ace. So they had their little support group which is such a cute idea I need to write it (5), I’m not realizing fully until now how trans-saturated the VDC crew is in my HC lmao
Doesn’t affect Leovil as much as you’d expect, given his obsession with fondness for both of them. He’s still annoying and is always tryna spy on their dates but doesn’t invade too much. Allegedly
Actually a great cook, though it’s not hard to top Vil’s unseasoned boiled chicken lmao

💀Idia Shroud💀
Bi/Demi
Non binary (they/them)
Misc:
They/them but still uses more masc terms, ortho still calls them his brother, cater still calls them his bf, etc
Imma jump right into the Idekei and just get this out of the way: my entire headcanon for Idikei’s getting together, dynamic everything is literally just this fic. If u like idikei, read it. Now. “So I’ll dance with Cinderella” by adverb_slut is THE idikei fic.
Quick summary if u don’t wanna read the fic (YOU SHOULD):
Idia and Cater met online (specifically through discord in the fic) and became very close over texting, Idia developing a slight crush on Cater over text. The kicker is, they don’t know each other’s identities cuz both their discords are anonymous. Idia gets cornered by IRL-Cater and texts Discord-Cater that they’ve been cornered by the school extrovert and IRL-Cater’s phone dings, queue escapades and denial and Idia falling for IRL-Cater (yes it is literally this image) and it’s absolutely perfect I love idikei
Ok I’ll stop dickriding this one fic and move on to general Idia headcanons
Alr you know the drill by now cuz I give everyone piercings... idia has Eyebrow, nose stud, septum, snake bites, labret, and Angel bites.
Also added a blue spiral to their eyes. Why? Cuz it looks cool. Duh
Honestly sometimes I can’t believe Idia is even canon. I keep thinking of shit to put here like “lmao they say sus unironically” then I remember that it’s canon
Idk if I should’ve put this in Azul’s segment but I’m here so whatever. Board games club is such a fucking hilarious dynamic I love them. Azul’s tryna pull off some sort of convoluted scheme for some of that Shroud money and then Idia is just “can you stop being a capitalist for five fucking seconds so we can play Uno?”
Continuing with board games club, Azul was one of the first people at NRC that Idia actually became friends with. They kind of kept to themselves in freshman year board games club, not interacting with anyone but ortho and if someone wanted to play a game with them and they’d only talk if it was required by the rules of the game then promptly leave. But Azul shows up the next year and actually at least vaguely understands Idia (likely due to having grown up a very antisocial/sit in the corner alone kid himself) so they take it at a slower pace but build a strong friendship. They’re sort of each other’s mutual third party since their lives and social circles don’t really intertwine so they can always get a nuetral perspective on their respective dramas via each other. I imagine Idia was keystone in helping Azul realize he’s very gay for Jamil (Azul rambles abt Jamil for 10 mins and Idia takes a very long and drawn out sip of their drink and says “Sevens, was I this annoying in my pre-Cater arc?”)
On the topic, Jamil has become roped into this. It was definitely a mutual friend situation at first but I have this whole scene in my head of Idia running into someone in an online video game (in my heart it’s Splatoon bcuz its a running joke w my friend that Jamil plays Splatoon but that isn’t relevant here) with a Jamil-esque username and texting Azul like “this ur mans?” Then eventually Jamil unfortunately joins the gamer team and becomes something akin to friends with Idia… honestly crackfic material I should write tha- *sounds of me dragging myself off camera* (6)
Owns a maid dress. Has never worn it, has never had an opportunity to wear it, no one knows about it. But they have it. For emergencies.
Their hair emotions range way farther than red=angry and pink=flustered. In my head/heart, every emotion has a hair color. It starts by changing color at the tips then the whole thing turns to the color the stronger the emotion. I will attempt to explain the colors best of my ability
Red/orange = Angry
Pink = Flustered
Green = happy/excited (happy is a more mintish blue green and excited is a more lime green)
Purple = scared
darker blue = sad (darkens the sadder they get, turns black if they get really bad)
🔥Ortho Shroud🔥
Trans!!! He/him
Misc:
Basically just came up to Idia one day and was like “BROTHER. I need to be a boy.” And Idia was like “aight, bet.”
His eyes are like baby doll eyes, it’s kinda creepy but it’s cool
I don’t have many ortho headcanons tbh… for more ortho headcanons please insert the correct CDs
CDs NUTSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Diasomnia
I don’t have many Diasomnia headcanons as I have not played book7 yet! I’m kinda bullshitting in this segment
Edits
🐉Malleus Draconia🐉
Bi/Ace
He/him
Misc:
Ace malleus came to me in a vision and god told me I was correct
Yet again, PIERCINGS. GO. BRRRRRRR malleus has I think the most out of anyone? Idk I was not counting anyway he has Angel bites, vertical labret (w a chain that connects to the ear piercing), dahlia, septum and Austin bar.
Has a fairly noticeable scar across his face
His dragon form is massive. Like the school had a brief shock of learning that Azul is 30+ feet long and then Lilia is like “HEY LOOK AT MY DRAGON SON! HE IS LIKE 70 FEET LONG FROM NOSE TO TAIL” lmao, his dragon form looks pretty much exactly like Maleficent’s dragon form in my head
Autistic swag. Autism swag. Name one neurotypical person who is that obsessed with gargoyles. I will wait.
Has made a sort of friendship with Idia, who desperately tries to teach Malleus technology. It’s a lot of fun “PRESS THE HOME BUTTON!” “BUT IM ALREADY IN MY RESIDENCE??” + “click on my computer” “how can I click on your computer from my computer” “no, click on where it says my computer” “what is your computer doing in my computer” (moreover, Idia had an initial concern that Malleus wouldn’t quite understand they/them pronouns bcuz he’s old and queue “i don’t care. I have seen horrors beyond human comprehension. Also my dad is a he/they” and Idia’s like “oh cool” lmao)
Part Chinese part French
So uh, malleus like, does not blink. His eyes work kinda like snake eyes where they’re always closed with a transparent eyelid
I kind of ship mallerollo but like not enough to rlly have headcanons of them… they’re both ace that’s abt all I got for u
🗡️Silver🗡️
Bi
Transfem (she/they)
Misc:
I don’t care what’s canon, I don’t care what anyone says, transfem silver is real and you can pry her out of my cold dead arms
Has matching ear cuffs with Sebek that mimic fae ears. Sebek wears his on his left ear while Silver wears hers on their right. Silver’s is smaller and shaped a bit more like Lilia’s ears while Sebek’s is bigger and shaped more like Malleus’s ears
Part Chinese part Japanese
Has an irrational fear of needles, has no clue why but she can’t stand to look at them. Their ear piercings are clips ons/part of the cuff (Sebek’s are actual piercings) cuz she isn’t able to get close enough to a needle to get any kind of piercing.
Always third wheeling Rugkali 😔
Didn’t come out as trans until her second year of NRC.
Again I can’t edit hair but hers is a bit curlier and longer than in canon
Albino btw
🐊Sebek Zigvolt🐊
Aroace
Transmasc (he/him)
Misc:
I’m gonna be so honest here. I��m not a massive fan of Sebek but he has grown on me a bit. (Fuck rook tho)
Was very stubborn about making friends with the other first years for a while. He met epel first who tried a few times before successfully got Sebek to hang out with the whole group, and he’s still a bit stubborn but loves the group anyways.
Has specific names for all the “humans”, e.g, Ace is ‘explosive human,’ deuce is ‘cauldron human’, riddle is ‘small human’ etc etc
Came out as trans before silver did, in fact Sebek came out quite young.
Part Chinese part Egyptian
Uses so much hair gel it’s absurd
Listens to the GloMas song on repeat
🦇Lilia Vanrouge🦇
Bi
He/they
Misc:
Trad! Goth! Trad! Goth! Trad! Goth! Trad! Goth!
There really isn’t much to say headcanon wise here he’s just perfect isn’t he
Calls Sebek and Silver his “kids that swapped genders”
Listens to a lot of death metal but also K-pop as of recent times thanks to pmc
Part Chinese part Indonesian
Eyebrow, bridge, snake bites, vertical labret and nose stud piercings
Has shaved off their eyebrows on multiple occasions
Thank you for reading the ramblings of a lunatic… this might get updated a couple times

how they sleep:
characters included: all nrc students + rollo
this is my first time posting anything to this blog but i couldn't sleep so i started thinking about twst boys sleeping and i spiralled. third years have mentions to nsfw situations!
Riddle Rosehearts
• this boy has a strict bedtime routine and is in bed in his cute little button-up pyjamas by 10pm every night.
• i think he definitely takes longer to fall asleep than he'd like, but he's too set in his mother's words of "natural sleep" to try any sleep aids.
• apparently he canonically snores and i think that's so cute. i bet it's quiet but noticeable enough for anyone sleeping with him who's sensitive to noise to need earplugs or white noise.
• i think if he's sleeping with someone, he's not big on cuddling but he likes to hold your hand or something.
• i don't think he has nightmares, but he definitely has pretty stressful dreams sometimes that leave him waking up feeling pretty groggy.
• he has an alarm clock set for 6am every day but post-chapter one i bet he's hit snooze a couple of times on weekends. yes queen have your rebellious phase.
Ace Trappola
• ace is definitely the type to brag about all nighters and how he can definitely stay up late but he's passed out by 2am
• his average bedtime is probably around 12am, but he just kinda vibe checks it instead of having a set time for sleep.
• he sleeps in a tee and boxers, sometimes the ones he wore through the day.
• i think he probably talks in his sleep. just babbles about whatever he's dreaming about. it's cute.
• he probably snores sometimes but rarely, maybe just when he sleeps on his back.
• ace is SO clingy when he's falling asleep, but once he's asleep he rolls away from you and takes the blankets with him.
• i think he wakes up pretty easily and has a burst of energy right away, but he crashes mid-morning until he gets to have lunch.
Deuce Spade
• i think he tries to have a set bedtime because that's what an honor student would do, but sometimes he gets distracted and the time gets away from him.
• this boy can sleep anywhere and everywhere and he's passed out as soon as his head hits the pillow.
• he snores with his mouth open and it's probably pretty loud. maybe convince him to wear nasal strips if you wanna sleep with him, or get a white noise machine/earplugs.
• i think he likes to cuddle if he gets to be the big spoon. you could probably convince him to little spoon though.
• i can't decide if he wears just shorts to bed or he has cute little pyjamas. my heart wants to say the latter though.
• i think deuce is like the worst type of morning person. he's so fuckin sleepy. if you don't coax him, he will just sleep in until he has no choice but to crawl out of bed.
• he's fine after breakfast though.
Cater Diamond
• absolute night owl. he can stay up super late and seems to get more awake and energetic once the sun goes down.
• he can maintain a sleep schedule suitable for class thanks to sleep aids, though.
• when the weather is warm he sleeps in the nude, but when it's cold he has sweatpants.
• i think he snores but he's aware of it and wears nasal strips so he doesn't bother you. but he only snores quietly anyway.
• is definitely clingy in his sleep. loves to be held and is super affectionate when he wakes up.
• is definitely a morning sex kind of guy. wake him up by sucking his dick and he's yours.
Trey Clover
• another night owl but not by choice.
• he just kinda powers through it like some kind of freak.
• he tries to have a regular bedtime but sometimes he'll go to bed and be asleep in 15 minutes and sometimes he's still lay there an hour later wondering whether he should give up or not.
• i think he's a really quiet sleeper. you wouldn't even know he was there if it was a dark room.
• sometimes he accidentally falls asleep with his glasses on.
• does not like to share a bed but will do so if you guys can have separate blankets.
• he doesn't like to admit it but he's the "don't talk to me before my coffee" kind of grumpy in the morning.
• if he wakes up with morning wood he's the type to go deal with it into the toilet lol
Leona Kingscholar
• i don't think he's ever even heard of a sleep schedule. he just sleeps whenever he wants.
• he'll nap all through the day and then still go to bed and be asleep in minutes.
• he def sleeps in the nude.
• i think he snores but it's like. it's got the frequency of a cat purring really loudly so it's not as annoying as you'd think.
• he doesn't like to cuddle, likes his space when he sleeps. but he sleeps so deeply he wouldn't notice if you crept into his arms.
• if ruggie isn't there in the morning to open his curtains and pull away his blankets, he just wouldn't get out of bed for class.
• you absolutely have his consent to suck him off or w/e while he's sleeping. he's so into it.
Ruggie Bucchi
• he doesn't have a bedtime, and just sleeps once all his silly little tasks for the day are done.
• i think he falls asleep pretty easily, but sleeps better with sounds around him because they help him relax.
• very clingy sleeper. wraps his arms around your waist and presses his face into your back.
• i think he definitely sleep talks, and giggles in his sleep as well.
• is a very light sleeper.
• i think he's comfiest sleeping in the nude but will wear boxers or something if he's not alone.
• wakes up super easily and is pretty alert from the get-go. but if he gets tired because he didn't get enough sleep, he walks around dazed for a bit.
Jack Howl
• similar to riddle, he has a strict 10pm bedtime.
• he can fall asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.
• i think he probably snores a bit if he rolls onto his back or if his mouth is open, but he's generally pretty quiet.
• very heavy sleeper. can sleep through most noises.
• i don't think he has pyjamas and instead he just strips off and sleeps in the boxers he wore that day.
• doesn't mind cuddling, will be the big spoon.
• he wakes up easily in the morning and because he works out even before breakfast he's very alert once the fresh air hits his face.
Azul Ashengrotto
• i think azul probably has mild insomnia and has to use sleep aids to get a decent night's rest. probably melatonin gummies or smth.
• he has a bedtime of 11pm-12am but sometimes he looks at the clock and it's 3am and he dies inside.
• i think he has those like classy satin pyjamas. i think he'd look rly cute in them.
• definitely a snorer. is really embarrassed about it but he hasn't found a way to stop it yet.
• he goes full octopus in his sleep too and will cling to whatever is closest to him. if he's sleeping alone he definitely hugs pillows instead.
• even though he has trouble getting to sleep, he sleeps like a rock once he does manage to get some rest.
• he's not good at waking up in the morning but he'll have a cold shower and morning coffee before anyone sees him and can pretend he just wakes up looking that bright-eyed and alert.
Jade Leech
• does he sleep??
• the answer is yes, but you wouldn't ever know it. the king of power naps.
• sleeps in the nude. he owns a pair of pyjamas similar to azul's but they're just for show.
• he can definitely sleep with his eyes open. i think when he sleeps for real he also grins in his sleep.
• is super quiet and still, hard to tell if he's alive or not.
• if he's sharing a bed with you he won't mind if you cuddle him, but he probably won't cuddle you back. he just lies on his belly with his head in his pillow.
• he's a light sleeper, but has learned to subconsciously drown out floyd.
• wakes up easily and can just immediately start going about his day.
Floyd Leech
• doesn't have a sleep schedule at all and just sleeps when he's sleepy. which isn't super often but it's not always necessarily at night either.
• i think he also usually sleeps nude but he has a bunch of random shit like eye masks and those funny little night caps that he's worn just because he thinks they're fun but he gets bored of them and forgets about them for weeks at a time.
• kind of the opposite of jade. starfishes out in his bed and shuffles around a lot.
• kicks off his blankets, snores, sometimes laughs or shouts in his sleep. he's the worst tbh
• he's a cuddler and will squeeze you in his sleep.
• i think he's also a light sleeper but can decide to just not wake up if he doesn't want to.
• he's rarely sleepy when he wakes up, but he does get more alert once he eats breakfast.
Kalim Al-Asim
• he has a set bedtime but it's jamil that enforces it.
• jamil def has to put on his pyjamas for him and tuck him in as well.
• i think he has really light, breathable pyjamas that cost more money than most people make in their lives.
• his bed is also filled with pillows and he has really high quality linen sheets and shit.
• sleeps easily once he settles into bed. always has a warm drink first to help him feel cozy.
• he def talks in his sleep, he might snore but only a little.
• so so so clingy. loves to cuddle or be cuddled he's not fussy. just loves the contact.
• jamil tracks his sleep and wakes him up at like the optimal time for his sleep cycles and stuff so that he always wakes up feeling refreshed and ready to go.
• eats a big breakfast every day, to keep him going.
Jamil Viper
• he tries to have a routine bedtime but his chores can sometimes mess that up. he does a lot of prep for the next day before bed.
• i feel like he'd sleep naked but also maybe not. i feel like i can go either way on this one?? either totally nude or he has similar pyjamas to kalim.
• sleeps on his side or his stomach usually. he's pretty quiet in his sleep but he does toss and turn a lot.
• has incredible bed hair because of it.
• not a cuddler. hates sharing his bed. you'd really have to work to convince him.
• extremely light sleeper.
• he wakes up at the crack of dawn and goes about prepping kalim's day. showers and wakes himself up before he greets him.
Vil Schoenheit
• master of beauty sleep. has a strict bedtime and makes sure he gets the same amount of sleep each night.
• probably drinks tea or something before bed to help him relax. also a bubble bath.
• he has really nice comfy pyjamas and one of those eye masks for Optimal Sleep.
• sleeps on his side with a pillow between his legs for elevation and stuff, he takes sleep so seriously.
• i think it'd be really cute if he talked a little bit in his sleep but he probably doesn't. but the mental image of him doing it is everything to me.
• definitely not a cuddler during sleep, but is happy to be affectionate before and after. really likes good morning kisses.
• he gets embarrassed if you wake up before him and see his bed hair.
• i think he's slow to wake up but after his shower + breakfast he's ready to go about his day.
• if you have sex before bed, he might dream about it and be a little more clingy in his sleep. moaning a little bit as he relives the moment.
Rook Hunt
• rook is one of my favourite characters but he's also the hardest for me to think of anything for. i feel like he can go either way on a lot of things??
• like does he have a bedtime or does he just sleep when he's tired. i'm leaning toward bedtime but maybe it's a newer thing for him (since transferring to pomefiore maybe)
• he absolutely sleeps nude though.
• i think he knows those like breathing exercises and stuff to get you to sleep quickly, but he usually doesn't need them because he falls asleep pretty easily.
• he's a light sleeper. very small disturbances can wake him but he's learned to tune most of them out.
• will spoon you, but is also content without.
• he. he definitely snores. like a nasally 40 year old man snore. im sorry. buy him nasal strips if you wanna sleep with him.
• probably talks in his sleep too but it's less annoying. kind of endearing, actually.
• i can't decide if he wakes up easily and just goes about his day or if he needs time to wake up and probably a shower or some tea before he can function properly.
• definitely a morning sex guy though. will wake you up with kisses and light touches and if you're in the mood it just goes from there.
Epel Felmier
• he doesn't have a bedtime, and just sleeps when he's sleepy. it's usually not too late, though.
• sleeps in boxers, but he does own pyjamas too. they have apples on them.
• i think he still sleeps with a stuffed toy, like the ones from the harveston event. he gets embarrassed about it though.
• he likes cuddling. especially if he gets to be the big spoon.
• i think it'd be really cute if he snored but like really softly. like purring.
• kind of a heavy sleeper. doesn't mind noise and stuff once he's already asleep.
• falls asleep on his front but usually wakes up on his back with his hair a mess.
• he's pretty good at waking up even if he doesn't get much sleep. if that's the case he'll just nap later.
Idia Shroud
• another night owl. he only truly feels alive after 10pm.
• because he spends most of his days by himself in his room, time kind of blends together and his body has lost any kind of day-night cycle.
• only goes to sleep once he's either finished with a game or an anime, or that one boss in that one game beats his ass too many times.
• sleeps in boxers, or a hoodie and sweatpants when it's cold.
• jacks off before he sleeps without fail. probably pulls up hentai on his phone to get off to.
• sleeps pretty still, lies on his back or his side and falls asleep with his phone in his hand.
• he absolutely snores like a motherfucker.
• talks in his sleep too a whole bunch.
• he's def a cuddler. likes to be the little spoon but will also just flop with you in his arms.
• hates waking up, doesn't use an alarm clock. ortho is the only reason he gets out of bed. eats a really sugary breakfast and snacks through the morning.
• because he jacks off before sleep he usually wakes up with an erection, and doesn't mind if you want to take care of it for him once you're both awake, otherwise he gets embarrassed and does it into the toilet lol
Ortho Shroud
• i know. but hear me out.
• he has a sleep mode and it has an asmr mode to emulate like soft breathing and stuff. idia probably added it post book 6.
• that said he has a set sleep and wake up timer and doesn't have any of the like. human qualities of sleep.
Malleus Draconia
• i think he has a bedtime but he struggles to stick to it a little bit. he's usually asleep by 2am though.
• he has really nice button up pyjamas but he also has like sweatpants that lilia got for him that have the nrc logo and big pockets that he loves.
• he's such a big spoon but i think he'd also love being a little spoon too if you wanted to. he just loves the physical contact.
• i think he also sleeps better when he's not on his own. your presence soothes him to sleep easier.
• it'd be really cute i think if he snores but like really quietly, like it's calming almost because you know he's sleeping and he's beside you.
• i think alone he sleeps on his back but if you're with him, he either likes to stay on his side holding you or he'll lie with one arm around you so you can put your head on his chest.
• he wakes up pretty easily but sometimes needs to be coaxed out of bed. if he lies there for too long he'll end up falling asleep again.
• i don't think he's a fan of being woken up with anything sexual, but he absolutely loves instigating it with your consent, or if you're not comfy with that he wakes until you wake up and if you're in the mood he's kind of insatiable.
Lilia Vanrouge
• has a bedtime of midnight but never sticks to it because he loses track of time gaming.
• just goes to bed when he's sleepy instead.
• i think he probably has a whole bunch of different pyjamas all from different places he's been to. just wears whatever he's feeling or is appropriate for the weather.
• i don't know if i want him to sleep actually hanging upside down like a bat or just like. wakes up upside down or even with his top half hanging off. i think he'd look really silly but it's endearing.
• talks a lot in his sleep, giggles. probably snores a little bit if he ends up in a weird position.
• he's a little bit calmer when he's sharing a bed, but only because he'll hold onto you and won't let go.
• big or little spoon, he doesn't mind.
• you don't even notice him wake up he just starts talking normally and you can't tell if it's been seconds or hours since he woke up.
• he likes having a cup of tea and a filling breakfast in the morning, but is also fine to go without.
• i'm sorry liliafuckers i genuinely cannot think of anything spicy for him. would he be into morning sex, or prefer it before sleep? i think he might like being stroked while he's half awake but whether it goes further is probably based on vibes.
Silver
• he actually makes me so sad.
• he has a bedtime of about 10pm but he falls asleep earlier than that sometimes.
• he's good at waking up in the morning with his alarm clock, but obviously it doesn't take long for him to get sleepy again.
• i think his sleep like in his bed and his accidental naps are very different too. when he sleeps in bed he does wake up feeling refreshed and okay for a bit, but waking from naps (usually being woken up by other people) leave him groggy and feeling worse.
• he sleeps in shorts and a tee mostly. sometimes he falls asleep before he can change his clothes from the day, though.
• i think he's a quiet sleeper. i think eng localises him as snoring but i think it's very gentle and quiet.
• he likes to sleep on his stomach, with his arms under his pillows. he doesn't mind being cuddled but isn't much of a cuddler.
• i admittedly don't know much about narcolepsy so if this conflicts anything that's true to the condition, i'd love to be educated on it. i love silver dearly and understanding his character is important to me (i have not read book 7 as of posting this)
Sebek Zigvolt
• very strict 9pm bedtime and 5am wakeup.
• he's really good at sticking to them, too.
• likes to sleep nude, but doesn't just in case anything happens to malleus at night and he has to rush to his side.
• incredibly light sleeper.
• that said he snores like a chainsaw, it's impressive he doesn't wake himself up.
• sleeps on his back and doesn't move much.
• he won't admit it, but he does like to cuddle. will hold onto you gently but it tends to wake him if you move, so cuddles are usually just for naps.
• definitely sleeps with a sword right by his bed.
• he can't sleep unless he says goodnight to his photograph of malleus first.
• he works out when he first wakes up, then returns to the dorm for a shower and breakfast. he loves really hearty breakfasts after exercise.
Rollo Flamm
• he tries to have a bedtime but sometimes he gets carried away reading or studying and loses track of time.
• regardless he always wakes up at 6am to visit the bell of solace. that's why he has those massive dark circles.
• i think he also has bad dreams that disrupt his sleep through the night.
• sleeps on his back with his hands across his chest like a fucked up nosferatu or something.
• snorer, it's p loud. he'd wear like nasal strips if you asked him to though.
• doesn't really like to share his bed. you'd have to convince him to let you in beside him. unless you marry him, of course.
• ...that's what he says anyway but if you flash him a little bit of skin he's taking you to bed and he's sucking you off until his tongue is numb. and then he's spooning you throughout the night.
• i'm sorry i'm not normal about him.
• after he meets you, he can't help but jack off every night, and then he dreams about you and jacks off in his sleep as well.
• anyway,

(hi! same previous anon!) May I request ace taking you to meet his mother for the first time? She’d definitely love you to pieces and prob show you ace’s baby pics (much to his embarrassment) but he’s glad that they’re bonding😊
This one almost got away from me, I had so much fun writing it. since you said 'still alive' I'm keeping it closer to the canon universe but with his mom in it (sort of... ish).
Warnings: fluff, naked baby Ace, GN!Reader
Word Count: 1810
     Ace grinned as he sped across the waves, holding you in his arms, safe from the fire that roared at his feet, sending his striker flying over the waters. He was taking you somewhere particularly special tonight. The two of you had been dating for a little while now and the ship was close enough that he could see her again, so he wanted to introduce you to her. You were the light of his life, the person of his dreams, everything he’d ever wanted in a person. She was the other light of his life, the woman who raised him and loved him unconditionally, the one who always comforted him and had even had the heart to take in his brothers. He visited her as often as he could, but the life of a pirate didn’t always make for frequent, planned, or routine visits. Still, this was the woman who fell in love with Roger, the king of the pirates, she understood better than anybody how the pirate life was. Hell, she encouraged it. Urging him to go out to sea when he was still young enough to be uncertain about it, when he was worried about leaving his mother to deal with his little brother, or worse, leaving her alone. When he apologized for not visiting more often, she’d simply smiled and kissed his forehead, telling him she was just happy to know he was alive. After Pops had taken him in, he’d apologized for a lot of things, but she’d just laughed and smiled like she always did. She was always so happy just to see him and hear that he was doing well. You were the same. When he worried that the pirate life would put you in danger, you just laughed it off and said you wouldn’t even be at sea if you were worried about safety. The number of times you’d waved off forgotten dates, missed meetings, or the one time he missed your birthday because he was holed up in the infirmary. The smile on your face, the light in your eyes that day, it was almost as if he was looking at his mother’s spirit in a different body. That same happiness, that same love that made his heart soar, made his heart ache from how hard it pounded for you. All either of you wanted was his happiness. Reaching the island, Ace smiled, holding you tighter as his striker sped up a little, his excitement urging him on. It didn’t take long for Ace to bring you to his mother’s home, a small, quaint little house, the smell of something delicious wafting from inside. The boy didn’t even bother knocking, opening the door, his eyes glowing like a kid on christmas morning as he looked around. 
     “Mom? I’m here!” he called, turning into a ball of sunshine and energy the moment a blond woman rounded the corner. Ace had her in a bear hug the moment he laid eyes on her, the woman laughing as she wrapped her arms around him.
     “Ace, sweetie, it’s so good to see you again!” she said as Ace attempted to hug the life out of her. 
     “It’s good to see you too, mom! I’m sorry I don’t visit more often.” he said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck, only to perk up suddenly, “Oh! This is the person I wanted you to meet! Y/n, this is my mom!” Ace said excitedly, hurrying over to you and putting his hands on your shoulders as he pushed you towards his mother. You couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped your lips, holding a hand out to the woman.
     “Nice to meet you, I'm Y/n.” you said with a sunny smile. Ace’s mom smiled and laughed slightly.
     “No need to be so formal, dear.” she said with a smile, pulling you into a hug. You couldn’t help the warmth that blossomed in your chest as you wrapped your arms around her. It was clear where Ace had gotten his warmth from. His smile might be thanks to his brothers, but his warmth was very clearly his mother’s. Pulling away, you couldn’t help but smile as Ace started telling his mother what he’d been up to and how he’d met you, a fond look in her eyes as she remembered her own love and her own young romance. 
     “So they’ve been told about all your embarrassing moments on board Whitebeard’s ship, but have they been told about the soft side of that angry little boy?” his mother asked, poking his bare stomach, making him squirm away from her, his smile dropping as he looked at his mother warily. 
     “I don’t know what you mean, they’ve already seen my softer side, I’m soft with them all the time. Just ask Marco or Thatch, they keep telling me that I’m giving them cavities.” Ace said, giving his mother a confused and slightly concerned glance. His mother gave a mischievous smile as she took your hand and pulled you into the living room.
     “Oh but they haven’t seen this side of you!” the woman said happily as she pulled some books out from a cupboard, Ace going a little pale, his excited, happy demeanor turning to one of embarrassment.
     “I-I’m sure that’s not necessary. I mean, it’s just me when I was young, so what.” Ace said, hoping to come off as nonchalant. He couldn’t make a big deal out of it, you’d get curious, but he really didn’t want you to do exactly what you were doing now as you grinned and sat next to his mother, the both of you pouring over the old baby pictures.
     “Oh, this is us in our old home on Dawn Island. I moved there for a while after Ace was born for safety. After Luffy left, though, I wanted to return here. Oh, oh! This is Ace on his first birthday! Look at his cute face! Oh, and here’s after I tried giving him a tiny piece of cake! He made such a mess!” she gushed, pointing to the various photos, her mind replaying each memory. 
     “You were such a cutie.” you said, giving Ace a teasing wink, the boy blushing as he stuffed his hands in his pockets and scoffed like he was upset.
     “Y-you didn’t have to pull out the baby pictures.” he ‘grumbled’ as he headed for the kitchen to see what his mother had made. Whatever it was, it smelled delicious and it gave him an excuse to get out of the embarrassing moment, though he was quickly spinning around, eyes wide at the next words out of his mother’s mouth.
     “This was one time when I tried to give him a bath, he hated being in the water when he was little, look at that little pout!” she said, fawning over the tiny black haired boy in the pictures.
     “Mom! Are… are you showing them pictures of me in the bath?!” Ace cried out, his cheeks turning cherry red.
     “Look at what a cute little butt he had.” you said, staring into his eyes with every word, the smile on your face just as mischievous as his mother’s. Ace groaned as he ‘fled’ to the kitchen, grabbing the food his mother had made. Despite his protests, hearing the two of you continue to go over old pictures made him feel like he was on cloud 9, like everything in life was perfect. You were getting along, even if she was showing you embarrassing old photos, his mother clearly loved you already. Then again, with how much he’d told her about you, it was like she’d known you for months already, talking with you like she would with an old friend. It was a while later that you both entered the kitchen, his mother laughing when she saw that he’d already eaten most of the dinner she’d been cooking.
"As hungry as ever, my little pirate prince.” she said affectionately, kissing the top of his head, making him blush and duck his head in embarrassment.
     “Oh come on! You already showed her baby pictures, do you really have to start in on the ‘pirate prince’ thing?” he ‘whined’ as you chuckled.
     “No need to start on it, I already saw ‘pirate prince Ace’s first treasure’.” you said with a grin, referencing one of the pictures his mother had shown you. Ace’s head hit the table as he groaned. He remembered the picture, he was 3 and he’d found a way into his mother’s garden. His clothes had gotten snagged on the fence as he’d wiggled in, leaving a 3 year old Ace naked among the hibiscus flowers. He’d pulled up most of the flowers by the time his mother found him. In the picture he sat on the ground, staring up behind him at his mother who’d just put a flower crown on him. In his lap was a small lunch box filled with squished and crumpled hibiscus flowers, his ‘treasure’. He remembered the garden quite well. They were yellow, orange, and red hibiscus’s and in the morning light with the dew still fresh, they glittered like real treasure. As much as his mother loved the garden, she hadn’t been mad at him, she couldn’t be, not when he looked so cute, trying to run away with his lunch box full of flowers, still naked and screaming that it was his treasure and she couldn’t have any. The two of you laughed as you sat down and started eating what remained of dinner. Thankfully, his mother had spent years cooking for 3 very hungry little boys so she’d made plenty as the two of you continued to bond over the dark haired boy as he tried to sink further into the table as if, by some miracle, it would swallow him whole and let him leave the embarrassing moment. Not that he actually wanted to, it was nice hearing you two get along, it made him feel warm, warmer than even his devil fruit normally made him. 
     By the end of the night, his mother was wrapping you up in another hug.
     “You need to come by again as soon as you get the chance! I’d love to see you and Ace again.” she said sweetly, a loving look in her eyes as she looked at her son.
     “Of course! I promise, we’ll come visit whenever we’re in the area.” you said with a similar smile, the two of you giving each other one last hug before waving goodbye, heading back towards Whitebeard’s ship. Once more in his arms as he sped across the waves, you couldn’t help but smile as you snuggled into his hold, he felt as warm to you as always. Likewise, you felt warm to him as well, as warm as his mother.

Hello! I saw your recent art of sabo, and in the tags you mentioned the big 3 of Shounen. I know it’s One piece and Naruto, but what’s the third? How come you like the character? Lovely artwork, it’s candy for the soul!! Thank you •u•
Ah thank you!!! The big three of shonen (for I guess the previous generation?) are Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach. Naruto and Bleach have already ended but it seems like One Piece is still going quite strong, despite the new generation of shonen anime (including Hero Aca, Demon Slayer, and the third spot is still debated! Probably JJK is my guess though that falls into its own sub genre of shonen dark fantasy I suppose)
Here are my favs! I’ll put the reasons why I like them in the read more because it’s quite long :)
Tumblr media
Despite watching Naruto first I could never actually finish it because it was so long so I kind of just osmosed the later parts of shippuden through fanfics and other such media ^^; I think it’s pretty difficult to pick a definitive fav for Naruto because I feel like it tends to fumble a bit of its character writing? I think if I had to pick one maybe young Kakashi but still kind of eh. Maybe I just didn’t watch far enough to get attached
As for Bleach, I picked it up years ago around middle school and then dropped it after the first hundred episodes or so because filler got boring for younger me but then I picked it up again in high school and managed to at least get past aizen! And then I dropped it there because I wasn’t interested in any continuation after what seemed like an already pretty strong ending.
Toshiro is my favorite because he falls into all niches of character tropes that I enjoy including but not limited to: child genius who acts responsible but is still somewhat immature, cold personality along with ice powers but fierce loyalty to close relationships. I especially enjoy child genius characters for the contradictory dichotomy of what is expected of them in terms of maturity and knowledge and the amount of pressure these kinds of characters face and how they handle it! That said, I enjoy him more for the tropes that he falls into and my personal interpretation of him rather than canon writing for him. I think that though canon is an alright base, he doesn’t get much time to shine (character-wise instead of combat-wise).
And Sabo. Oh my goodness I am brainrotting so hard over Sabo right now. The ASL siblings in general have a vice grip on my heart and really are not letting go. There is so much tragedy in the way that they are written, that works because there are three of them. Ace and Luffy spend so much effort trying to save the only brother they have left in the world not realizing that if they go they’ll be the first to go actually because Sabo is still alive, and Sabo could have done so much and changed so much if only he had regained his memories sooner. Why didn’t he remember sooner? I can only assume it’s because he didn’t want to remember, because he grew out his hair to cover a scar he wasn’t proud of, because he was running away from his origins when he lost his memories and maybe that stuck with him. I don’t even remember when Sabo was introduced as a character because I don’t think he was mentioned during Marineford? But he’s such a compelling character because he does so much to save the world and yet is unable to save his own brother! And he’s written to fit with Ace and Luffy incredibly well, being the voice of reason where they can’t be.

Alright sluts, I need some opinions.
I am currently writing a CrocMom au that has gone to far wild and completely out of my control. I have most of the plot surrounding Luffy and Crocodile's backstory and connection figured out, that's not the problem. What IS the problem is that Crocodile is to much of a whore. Crocodile has up to at least five potential love interests that I could throw at him (not including Dragon cause that has to happen for, y'know, conception.)
Buggy, Mihawk, Buggy & Mihawk, Dolflamingo, Shanks, Corozon ECT.
Now, I know some of those options might not make sense, but see, a writers mind is an unending fucking mine field of insanity, and I would be able to make those options work pretty well.
Buggy and Mihawk would most definitely make the most sense, as they are pretty canon in their interactions and I have been itching to write cross-guild anyways.
Shanks? Knowing that Crocodile created basically his kid and also could kill him at any time and is also hooking up with his two ex's? That man is already a skank and has probably dated at least half the one piece verse, this is not far fetched.
Dolflamingo? They are the ones with the most cannon interaction and could make for a very good psychological warfare/angsty fic, but also, Dolflomingo. So like, gross.
And the last and most crackship, rarepair shit I could ever think of. Cora and Crocodile. Now, in my fic, I start with Crocodile on Ohara to involve Olvia and Robin into his cannon universe (This is also trans!Crocodile, so he's a woman right now, but he transitions after Luffy's birth) and so I can give him an excuse to adopt Robin later when she's around like, 11.
So, you have a Crocodile that fits just snuggly enough into the timeline and does not have enough trauma yet (in my universe at the least) and who has already given birth to Luffy and is already slightly regretting leaving him and who has already adopted Robin. I think that there would be a really high possibility that Crocodile would meet Cora and be like "look at this sad, pathetic, wet-cat, clumsy single father. Would be a shame if someone was to just grab it.". Which would then inadvertently save Cora's life, especially if Crocodile helped get the heart fruit and then brought them back to Alabasta.
I also wanna clarify, I don't think Law would see Crocodile as a father figure. It took fuckin forever for him to trust Cora, and that was with sacrifices that spited both hell and high water. I think Crocodile would more be seen as a mentor, especially if Law would still want to get back at Dolflamingo. Cora might try to stop that. Cora would want what's best for his son.
Crocodile? Dramatic-time-to -murder-the second-strongest-pirate-of-all-time bitch? 100% would support.
Also, the possibility of Robin and Law shenanigans kind of gets my goat.
Plus, if you add in Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, it would be chaotic as fuck, and kind of amazing!
As you can tell, I am slightly leaning more to one of these options than the others (totally not just because I want to write a Cora lives au) and I think that Cora is one of the only One Piece men that Crocodile would genuinely consider sticking with because of the way he treats other people and his kids. The possibilities are fucking endless.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I would take anything into consideration and I have to decide before I write the Dragon/Revolutionary chapter.
The world problems of a one piece fic writer, man.

JJK Recs
Got a comment on this and figured I'd turn it into a post. Here are some of my favorite Gojo-centric JJK recs that basically live rent-free in my head and also very much so helped me form my own characterization for Gojo. Most of these are GoYuu bc I'm a shameless fan.
I keep the warmest truth - dehawny: Gojo/Yuuji | just adore this ace!Gojo headcanon. lowkey so torn on Gojo's sexuality bc I absolutely can see him being asexual and maybe even a bit touch-averse with the whole Infinity thing, but I also can see him being a total slut lol. This is one of my favorites and the only ace!Gojo I've found I think? The tags are just perfect and very much so aligned with my own personal Gojo heacanon 😂 "Gojou is confident about everything and that includes his sexuality", "he's also good at everything except maybe communicating"
A Duty and Responsibility - googlehome: Gojo/Sukuna this fic definitely pushed my 'bottom Gojo agenda' idk I can see this man with any sexuality I swear. Another great characterization of Gojo, and also Sukuna. I adore very serious fics with a splash of humor in the narrative. I can't imagine Gojo as a person who takes himself entirely seriously, no matter how much responsibility he accepts, or how many burdens he carries for others, or what kind of nonsense gay crisis he ends up in, so I just love his voice in this.
Countdown - Rizna: Gojo/Yuuji a fandom classic as far as I'm concerned. This is such an excellent role reversal AU - if you're into S2 teenage brat Gojo, this delivers. I love all versions of Gojo, including mouthy teenage twink Gojo deeply obsessed with his adult sensei who's Trying His Best™ to be the adult in the relationship.
Enough (A Cinderalla Story) - athena_crikey: Gojo/Yuuji in an absolutely fucking hilarious twist of irony, I actually didn't read this story for a long time because it was a rockstar AU and when I first got into this fandom I was desperate for canon stuff. Meanwhile I then go on to bust out 400k+ words of my own rockstar!Gojo AU, so I guess I'm just a fucking clown.
Heart Laid Bare - athena_crikey: Gojo/Namami incredible introspection on how Gojo handles (or rather, doesn't handle) the burden of being invincible and the strongest told in Nanami's POV. I could wax poetic about this fic and the way Gojo comes across so multi-faceted as both a man who can do everything and also a man who can't even remember to adequately feed himself. I drew a lot of the inspiration for Gojo's cursed technique in my fic from this, how Infinity is both his blessing and his curse and the parallels to his overuse of RCT being a kind of toxic spiral.
Shared Infinity - athena_crikey: Gojo & Yuuji - read the tags on this one it deals with some heavy stuff (not with Gojo) I love the way this fic showcases Gojo as a mature adult deeply protective over his students while still maintaining his kind of flippant/uncaring outer persona we see in the show. Just completely love fics that really naile the dichotomy of Gojo being both caring and yet rather unkind.
Take Two - athena_crikey: Gojo/Yuuji - specifically love how this AU fic deals with the idea of Gojo's own fame being his shield between himself in the world around him where his Infinity technique doesn't exist. I love how Gojo is handled in this one, so jagged around the edges, and just his own worst enemy when it comes to his own feelings. Also love me a Gojo who can own up to his own mistakes, look at our baby go, showing emotional maturity and everything!!
Still, More Firsts - hngr4fngr: Gojo/Yuuji man do I adore this whole series. Great porn with ridiculously excellent plot/characterizations lol like I came here for the bottom!Gojo and left with way too many feelings about how Gojo deals with his trauma and how that would effect his sex life. Also has a super interesting take on how Infinity works!
little lamb to the slaughter - voxofthevoid: Gojo/Yuuji still obsessed with the astoundingly incredible smut, just absolutely shook by how god-tier this writing is, it is so hard to write good smut, just pacing, flow, word choice... this could be a masterclass on how to write really great smut that can actually pull a visceral reaction out of a reader. I think a great deal of that ability comes from a mastery of the tone of voice of the characters, too. Gojo is just incredible in this Yuuji POV, the way he describes Gojo is just utter perfection. On a related note, in general Yuuji's voice is so fucking funny in a way that doesn't detract at all from the mood of the story. In fact I think this would be too heavy without his hilarious occasional inputs.
there is no try (but it's still going to take a while) - juurensha: Gojo/Geto I love me a star wars AU jfc. I'm not even a fan of SatoSugu but this is just *chefs kiss* Jedi Master Gojo is such a mood.
anchor - valleykey: Gojo/Geto I love this one mainly for the Suguru characterization, which I truly never thought I'd say bc I'm just not normally a fan of his character/relationship with Gojo. He's just perfect in this fic though - it just makes so much more sense for his characterization, and idk, pulls it altogether in a way I think it falls flat in canon. That isn't to say Gojo's not great in this, he's just really not the main character at all. But it deals well with Gojo's loyalty to those he deems worthy of it (even if the recipient isn't considered 'proper' by jujutsu society) and just offers a good take on supportive (and smitten) Gojo

Yuu (Al-) Asim and Jamil
Look, I needed to get this off my mind, alright? Here’s some low-key, high-key Jamil discreetly having a crush on Yuu who is Kalim’s older sibling and it might also be a teeny, tiny bit yandere but not much (maybe). Might or might not be canon to the Sibling!Yuu AU lore. I just needed to get this off my brain, okay? I might make a part 2 but with overblot Jamil though I’m not sure. Anyway, enjoy! 
===
Yuu didn’t plan on staying at NRC for long. It was fun catching up with their younger brother and letting loose for a while but at the end of the day they were still a traveling merchant at heart and wherever there’s money to be made, they will be there. In fact, the only thing that made them want to stay for so long was because of the amount of students overblotting in the school. Yuu was very sure this shouldn’t even be a normal occurrence but it’s weird that it’s happened three times already within the span of a few months.
Riddle Rosehearts of the Heartslabyul Dorm was the first one to overblot. Yuu hadn’t really planned on getting tangled with whatever was happening in the Heartslabyul Dorm at first, but then Ace Trappola had come knocking on Ramshackle’s doors and Yuu really didn’t have the heart to turn the poor boy away, especially when he had nowhere else to go. Ace had been under the impression that Ramshackle was an abandoned building so he was thinking of spending the night there. 
Ramshackle was abandoned until Yuu rented it from the Headmaster. Yuu had more than enough money to pay for it anyway. They turned Ramshackle into a small shop that sold simple, fun things that they’ve amassed from their travels. Sure, they could’ve sold the same things as what Sam had in his store and they had the resources to definitely do it but they didn’t want to compete with the local business. The older Asim child didn’t even mind if they didn’t make a lot of profit. Additionally, they weren’t an idiot to mess with Sam and, by extension, his friends on the other side. Their sense of self-preservation was working properly, thank you very much, they didn’t need to test it.
The next one to overblot was Leona Kingscholar of the Savanaclaw Dorm. Again, Yuu hadn’t planned on interfering with whatever was happening but then the students just kept getting injured left and right. Yuu didn’t have it in their conscience to just let everything be so they asked permission from the Headmaster to investigate. That one was a wild run from start to end but thankfully everything ended well.
Finally, the latest to overblot was someone from the Octavinelle Dorm by the name Azul Ashengrotto. He had tried to take Ramshackle away from Yuu after Ace and Deuce made a contract with the Octavinelle Dorm Leader and failed to uphold their end of the deal. The stern lecture those two got from Grim was really something Yuu could never forget. Grim didn’t stop until two hours later. In fact, the cat-like creature would’ve most likely continued on for a few more hours but Yuu had taken pity on the Heartslabyul boys whose legs have become numb from sitting for too long and intervened.
Though after the overblot events, Yuu began to have a sneaking suspicion of its emergence pattern. They weren’t saying they were being paranoid but they weren’t taking any chances, you see? So, they discreetly placed Kalim under heavy watch for a few days and only eased up when they could finally be assured that their younger brother wasn’t acting any different and was not in danger of overblotting. 
Currently, they and Grim were in Scarabia Dorm. With Yuu’s living arrangement in NRC, they tended to alternate between staying in Scarabia and Ramshackle since they didn’t want to impose on their brother too much, much to Kalim’s disappointment.
Having said goodbye to the others as they went back to their homes for winter vacation, Yuu also began to pack their luggage and started planning on where they and Grim would go next. Coral Sea was out of the potential candidates since the ocean was bound to be frozen at this time of the year. Yuu didn’t want to pickaxe their way through the frozen ocean. Hmm… The Briar Valley was a good place, perhaps? Or maybe the Rose Kingdom–
“Yuu?” A familiar voice spoke up and Yuu paused in the middle of what they were doing to turn their head towards the source of the voice. Standing at the doorway was Jamil. “What’s all this?”
“Oh, good morning Jamil!” Yuu greeted cheerfully with a small wave. Jamil was Yuu’s younger brother’s attendant. Yuu remembered having had an attendant once at a point in their life, too… Not anymore, though…
Well! It was best not to dwell too much in the past! Yuu had Grim by their side anyway!
“What’s wrong? Did you need anything?” Yuu asked, watching as Jamil’s questioning gaze moved to the luggage in Yuu’s bed and the older Asim realized that they hadn’t actually told anyone they were traveling soon, did they? Silly them! They forgot that it wasn’t just them and Grim here now. If they disappeared so suddenly, their brother would surely try to look for them!
“Oh, right! I forgot to tell you and Kalim, didn’t I? Grim and I are planning on traveling again.” They said and continued packing their clothes. “So sorry for such short notice! We don’t really tend to stay in one place for too long and we often travel without a heads up,  you see.”
Jamil hummed in acknowledgment and Yuu could hear the Scarabian boy approach them from behind. “Is that so? Well, would you like some help?” He kindly offered. Yuu chuckled lightly and shook their head. They didn’t have a lot to pack, they could finish this quickly. “It’s alright, it’s alright, you don’t have to! I’m about to finish up, anyway.”
However, it seemed like Jamil wasn’t taking ‘no’ as an answer as he reached out and firmly gripped Yuu’s arm, stopping them from putting their folded shirt in the baggage.
“Oh no, no, I insist.” Feeling the other grip their arm a bit too hard, Yuu instinctively whipped their head up to look at Jamil but as they did, they met his gaze and…and…
…and what were they doing again…?
Yuu stumbled backward, the feeling of vertigo consuming them momentarily but Jamil quickly reached out, a hand firmly planted on Yuu’s back as they helped the older person steady themselves.
“Are you alright, Yuu?” Jamil asked, worry etched in his features. Yuu blinked owlishly, dazed, and then frowned. They brought a hand up to their forehead and massaged their temples.
“Yeah… Yeah, I’m fine, I just…” Yuu said unsurely, a look of confusion on their face. “What was I saying again…?”
Jamil calmly said without skipping a beat, “You were planning on staying for a few more weeks. The weather’s awfully cold so you were going to live here in Scarabia instead of Ramshackle.”
Huh, that… that didn’t sound right. Did they really say that? Yuu tilted their head. “Is that so?” They couldn’t help but doubt it. Something here wasn’t adding up but Yuu couldn’t quite put a finger as to what.
“Hm…” Jamil hummed, scrutinizing them. “Maybe you’re feeling a bit under the weather? Well, why don’t I help you unpack your luggage since you said you weren’t going to be traveling as of yet. After that, I’ll make you food to help you feel better.” He gave Yuu a warm smile.
Seeing the other smile at them made Yuu smile too. What a kind and caring boy Jamil was! Kalim was really lucky to have such a compassionate and thoughtful attendant like Jamil. They were almost jealous!
Taking a quick glance at their almost-full luggage, Yuu hesitated for a bit, something in the back of their mind warning them of a danger they don’t remember, before helping Jamil unpack their things.
It was probably nothing… right?

Right...
“Fngyaaa…” Grim collapsed down into the bedsheets, exhausted. “Yuu, you notice it too, don’t you? Kalim’s acting really, really weird! It’s as if he’s possessed or something! We managed to talk him out of having to force his dorm members to staying here but then he suddenly just shifted as if he was another person!”
Yuu groaned from beside him, lying face down on their bed. “Mou… I didn’t expect he’d actually force us to train with them… To think we’d be marching the desert for hours… Was he really that upset about losing the Magift Tournament? But he didn’t seem like he was affected, even with the stress of the exams.” Yuu would know. They did put Kalim under heavy surveillance, after all. So, why now? What was so different now? “In the first place, why did we have to exercise and study with them? We aren’t even going school here.” They sighed tiredly.
The two stayed silent and still for a brief moment before Grim’s ears perked up. The feline creature sat up from the bed and tapped Yuu’s shoulder repeatedly. “Hey, Yuu… Yuu, why don’t we just go and leave? It’s about high time we start travelling anyway.”
Yuu looked at Grim with a confused expression. “What? What do you mean?”
“Fgnya! It’s not like we have to stay here! You’re Kalim’s older sibling, would he really force you stay here if you were firm about in leaving? You have to put your foot down and really mean it, Yuu! Don’t spoil him!”
Yuu sighed but didn’t deny his words. Grim had a point. They knew they should be acting their part as Kalim’s older sibling and scold him for being too hard on his dorm members. To use their vacation time for training and studying without even being able to see their family was just unnecessarily cruel. Although they felt like they were being a bit unfair to Kalim too, they just couldn’t stand by and see him ruin himself.
Yuu sighed once again but rolled out of bed. “Alright, alright. You stay here, I’ll go talk to Kalim that we’ll be heading off at the soonest convenient time.”
After making sure they looked presentable in the mirror, they left the room.
Walking down the hallways of Scarabia, Yuu didn’t expect to bump into Jamil.
“Oh, good evening, Jamil…” Yuu tried to greet the other with the same cheery expression that they usually had but judging by the look on Jamil’s face, they weren’t successful. Yuu was just too exhausted to care right now, anyway.
“Are you alright, Yuu?” Jamil asked, putting a hand on Yuu’s back as they led them to a nearby balcony to get some fresh air. Yuu felt touched by their thoughtfulness and the cold night air really helped. “Was there something you needed? You could’ve just called one of the dorm members. I’m sure they won’t mind getting you what you need.”
“No, it’s…” Yuu scratched the back of their head. “It’s fine. I was just heading over to go and have a small talk with Kalim.”
“Hm? Why is that? Why do you need to go have a talk with him?“ Jamil inquired in curiosity. Though, had Yuu been paying attention closely, it was more like he was interrogating them.
“Well,” Yuu started. There was a lot of things they wanted to say, honestly. But they don’t know where to start. “I was going to tell him to cut your dorm members some slack, you know? I know there are times to get serious and times to have fun but Kalim’s just… taking it too far right now.”
“Ah, I see… I can’t say I’m not surprised.” Jamil nodded, agreeing with Yuu’s words. “Kalim has always been… willful. Though, he wasn’t always like this. Perhaps being the Dorm Leader of Scarabia is taking a toll on him. It is hard to manage all this all on his own but the way he’s going about it is…” Jamil trailed off but Yuu understood what he was trying to say.
Some people were just good at being leaders and some people just needed… maybe more than a few lessons here and there to be good at leading. And right now? Kalim wasn’t… fit to lead, as harsh as it sounds. He was acting more of a tyrant than anything and if Yuu knew anything about tyrants, it was that people were bound to overthrow them sooner or later. Yuu didn’t want to see their brother get hurt once that happened.
Yuu sighed once again. They’ve been sighing a lot ever since they decided to stay here. Maybe staying at one place for too long was getting to them. They weren’t used to it. Ever since Yuu was young, they’d always had the habit of travelling all around different places. Yuu looked up at the night sky and watched as the stars twinkled up above.
“Objectively speaking…” Yuu gave a quick glance at Jamil through their peripheral vision. He, too, was looking up at the stars and quietly waiting for what Yuu had to say. “I think… you’d suit to be the Dorm Leader right now, Jamil.”
“...!” Jamil, not expecting that Yuu would  say this out of the blue whipped his head to the side to look at the older Asim with wide eyes. “...What?”
“I know I’m foolish at times, but I’m not blind.” Yuu laughed lightly, finding the face Jamil was making at the very moment funny. 
“I’m a merchant, Jamil. I have an eye for these things. Although you’ve tried to hide it, it’s clear that you’ve got a good head on your shoulders. You’re more than capable enough to run this place. I know Kalim’s currently the Dorm Leader but he’s still… young. He still has a lot to learn.” Yuu’s smiled turned melancholic. “Though, I do understand if you’re against it. There are a lot of households serving… attending the Asim Family and to go against them… us would be a bad idea.”
Jamil stayed silent. Yuu looked over to him with a small smile. “But, if you wanted to be the Dorm Leader, would you, Jamil?”
“I… that…” Jamil looked conflicted but he didn’t answer. That was fair. Jamil had been serving the Asim Family for so long that he was probably hesitant to even do something that would be perceived as going against them (not really but it’s not like Yuu knew what was happening). Yuu patted his shoulders gently and gave him a cheeky smile. “It’s alright if you don’t have an answer now. But if you ever do want to, just call me, alright? I may have not visited home for years now but I know my words still have weight around in the Asim Family. I am the oldest Asim child, after all.”
The two became silent, only the sound of the howling wind and the chirping of crickets preventing it from becoming becoming fully awkward.
Yuu lightly coughed. Right, they almost got off track for their real reason they left their room. “Anyway, have you seen Kalim anywhere? I also need to tell him that Grim and I are going to depart as soon as we can.”
“What?” Just like that, the peaceful– almost gentle– lull of silence between the two was broken. Jamil looked at Yuu with furrowed brows, not understanding why Yuu would just say that out of nowhere.
“Grim and I are planning on going to travel as soon as we can. ” Yuu confessed. It wasn’t like they had any reason to keep it from Jamil. Jamil was so nice and considerate and caring and– these aren’t your thoughts, why are you thinking these things, you have to wake up–they know they could trust him!
“I don’t know what happened last time but we really are planning on continuing our travel this time. I was about to head over to Kalim to tell him about this. I wouldn’t want him to wake up next morning and wonder where we suddenly went, hahaha!” Yuu chuckled lightly but their amusement died down as Jamil made no noise or movement beside them.
Feeling something in the current situation was weird, Yuu looked towards Jamil with a frown. “Jamil…?”
Although Jamil was smiling, their face held no joy. In fact, his smile appeared strained and the aura around him seemed… dangerous. Yuu tensed up, feeling a chill run down their spine. Their intuition that they honed through years and years of travel screaming at them to turn away immediately and start run. And who were they to deny their intuition when this had saved them multiple times from getting terribly injured?
Just as they were about to turn away, Jamil opened his eyes and met their eyes, the smile on his face gone. Yuu found their limbs locked in place. No matter how much Yuu tried, they couldn’t find it in themselves to look away from Jamil’s piercing stare.
“And here we were having such a sweet moment, but you’re still actually thinking of such things?” He said in a low voice, scowling in displeasure. “Looks like I need to completely wipe that thought out of your mind again. Really, why do you keep trying to leave when you can just stay? Now, look into my eyes. Snake Whisper...”
The next day, Yuu woke up in bed with no memory of what had transpired the night before. They never got to speak to Kalim about leaving, either. How odd… When Grim asked them about this, Yuu just gave him a weird look and firmly stated that they were staying in Scarabia, much to Grim’s chagrin.
Though, Yuu felt as if they’ve forgotten something very important… They wondered what it was but they couldn’t seem to get their mind to focus as Jamil smiled at waved at them from the front as the entirety of the Scarabia Dorm was preparing to go to the East Oasis. 
Yuu smiled and waved back, the nagging feeling they had getting pushed back to the back of their mind. Well, if whatever they had forgotten was important then they’ll most likely remember it later. Right now, they should get ready to march.

never made, never broken (portgas d. ace x reader)
Summary: In the kindest way possible, Ace fails to make a promise- and you don’t even realize it until it’s too late.
Notes/ Warnings: spoilers for events that lead up to Marineford, there's some light angst, follows canon; i originally wrote this to be a part of a series that featured law x diplomat! reader x ace, but i quickly realized i can't commit to multi-chapter works ;((
Word Count: 1.4k | Read below the cut or on Ao3
You looked in horror at the scene in front of you. Thatch’s blood spilled in the dead of night and Blackbeard nowhere to be found.
You turned to your left, Ace standing next to you, his teeth clenching in anger. He’s the one who guided you to Thatch’s quarters at your request, after you heard the awakening chaos of the aftermath.
“Ace, what are you thinking of doing?” You asked, afraid.
“(Y/N), you already know the answer to that question. And you know why I’m about to do it. You can’t talk me out of it.”
“We both know that I actually can talk you out of it-“
“That’s why I’m tryyyying to drown you out as much as I can, but that’s really difficult because it’s YOU!”
“Ace, Thatch wouldn’t want this. Teech has a very dangerous fruit-“
“We can’t know for sure what Thatch would have wanted. And that’s why we have to strike back now- Teech can’t be an expert in this fruit yet, he’s still gotta be learning.”
You were very clearly shocked by his logic.
“Yeah, that’s right,” he flaunted, “I learned a thing or two from you, (Y/N).”
You didn’t know whether to be angry, proud, upset, but the absurdity of the situation almost made you laugh.
“We don’t know what we’re up against. Who knows how long Teech has been planning this plot of his. There’s too many unknowns.” He didn’t even give you a second glance. “Andddd you’re not even listening to me.”
“IT’S PART OF MY TACTIC!” Ace reasoned walking to his own quarters, ready to pack a bag. You didn’t notice him slip your wanted poster into the outer pocket. After zipping it up and seeing your genuine concern, he paused, collecting his thoughts. “I can’t let myself be stopped by you, I’m sorry.”
He marched up to the deck, filled with many of the crew, all of them reeling from the events of a couple hours ago. The fire burning in Ace’s eyes was blinding. Every crew member was trying to extinguish it, telling him to calm down. Ace was yelling back, “If I don’t do anything about it, Thatch’s spirit can’t rest!”
Whitebeard, hooked up to his IVs said his name. “It’s okay. This is an exception…I have a bad feeling about this.” You, too, had a bad feeling about this. If you weren’t the only one, something was definitely not right.
“He killed his crewmate and ran away. He had been loyal to you for decades and then he threw dirt in your face!” He turned away, moving his hat from behind his neck to the crown of his head. “And above all, he disgraced my father’s name. I can’t allow that.”
The Moby Dick fell eerily silent. You wanted so desperately to stop him, or at least go with him, but you knew that would only hold him back. Your words were your weapons, but they were rendered useless in a fight like this. Not when Blackbeard so brutally killed Thatch, all for a devil fruit. Part of diplomacy is knowing when to stop the talking, and knowing when to take action. You knew this was one of those times. But it had to be carefully thought out action, not whatever impulsive thoughts Ace was thinking. But his determination was as overwhelming as the heat of Alabasta. As much as you believed in Ace and his strength, this seemed too risky.
If Ace wouldn’t listen when you spoke from your head, or if he wouldn’t listen to his crewmates, he would listen if you spoke from your heart, right? “Don’t leave me!” you pleaded, a final act of desperation. “Ace, Thatch just got killed. If something happens to you too, I don’t know what-“
“Hey, come on,” his face softened whenever he looked at you. He was scared this would happen, that his resolve would waver and crumble to ashes if he spared you even a single glance. He pulled you in for a hug, his arms around your waist, causing your arms to be sandwiched between your chest and his. “Trust me, I’ll be back before you know it. Like I said, I wanna live without any regrets. If I don’t go now…I’ll regret that for the rest of my life.”
You pulled away from Ace to look at him. Ace’s conviction for this ran deep, the stories he’s told of his birth and past that he trusted you with were coming to mind. Memories of his newfound devotion to Whitebeard as father came flooding in.
“I know. But what if…what if I’m the one who ends up regretting letting you go.”
“How can I ease your worry?” Ace’s voice was gentle, but steadfast and determined.
You leaned in and whispered into his ear as his arm snaked its way around your waist, not wanting anyone else to hear the sacred words of a promise. “Promise me that you’ll come back to me, immediately after you deal with Blackbeard. Right away. And that you won’t pull another stunt like this in the future. That you’ll obey Pops once you step back on this ship.”
“Okay.” Ace could see how serious you were. How your brows creased, and right below those arched eyebrows, your eyes were watering up. Even in distress you were beautiful to him. But he hated seeing you so sad and even more, being the cause of your worry. For you, he would agree. He’d be satisfied after killing Blackbeard. After this he wouldn’t need to do something so drastic ever again.
You held out your pinky, ready for his own to wrap around, sealing a promise. He removed his right arm from your waist and instead of grasping your finger, he grabbed your entire hand and kissed it.
“Ace-?!” Flustered, you pulled your hand back.
He chuckled. It would be a while until he saw you again, so he wanted you to be wearing a smile.
To everyone right now, he was a ball of fiery energy, unstoppable and hot to the touch, but to you, he was just Ace. Always just Ace. So you couldn’t help when you broke into a smile.
“Look at you, going from sad to happy in seconds.” He loves seeing your smile, or rather, he hates seeing you so close to crying.
You rolled your eyes. “Just because I smiled for two seconds doesn’t mean I’m not worried.”
“Yeah, yeah. Hopefully I’ll be able to find Teech quickly. I’ll head toward the Red Line.”
“Yeah he couldn’t have gone too far…Alabasta might be a good bet.” The crew was shocked you were letting him go. But it was clear to you, just as it became clear to Whitebeard minutes ago, that nothing in this world could stop Ace.
“What would I do without you?” Ace asked.
“You’d get lost,” you deadpanned.
You just barely heard the mumbles of the crew: “we gotta stop him,” “he’s too far gone..”
“Just be safe, Fire Fist, at least for my sake if not yours.”
“Anything for you, Fire Fly.” Ace sat at the edge of the ship, ready to jump into Striker. “I’ll see you soon. I can’t stay away from you too long even if I tried.” He turned to take a solemn look at the sea ahead. “This is just another mission, don’t worry about me,”
“Kick his ass, Ace. I’ll see you soon.” With a thin smile, you saw him off.
“Will do, (Y/N),” He picked up his bag, filled only with the necessities, “I’ll take care of this!” He yelled to the entire crew as he jumped down to Striker.
The chorus of “wait” and “come back” from the crew didn’t reach your ears. You waved as he let flames consume his back, his devil fruit powers activating Striker, propelling him forward, never looking back. As Ace said, it was just another mission, another everyday task of a pirate. But was it that simple?
Thinking back to the promise you made with Ace just minutes earlier, you realized it was never sealed- Ace never wrapped his pinky around yours.
You watched as Striker approached the horizon, and so did Ace, his Whitebeard tattoo getting smaller and smaller in the distance until it completely disappeared.
You sighed wistfully; a promise never made is a promise that can never be broken.

Do you have any good Tim recs? Specifically ones that maintain his canon personality 👀
honestly this is very vague to me but I'm assuming you're mainly looking to avoid the fics that woobify him or flatten him into a coffee fueled anxiety machine. if that's what you're looking for, I gotchu
ship fics
Girl what were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament? is about timber's first date!! so cute, occurs immediately after the whole torture cult thing
Practice Makes Perfect - I know for a fact I've rec'd this one before in an ask maybe a few weeks ago?? this is a fic where tim and ace!bart practice kissing. ends in jaime/bart (I'm sure they have a ship name I just don't know it) and timkon but the timpulse content is actually a really good exploration of their characters imho
friendship as another word for love - this is tagged as minor timber but I'll still put it here. actually this might not be exactly what you're looking for cause my bookmark describes it as "red robin!tim is chaotic af", but honestly I think that's just a description of actual canon
Teenagers Scare The Living Shit Outta Me - okay this might be a crack fic HOWEVER you cannot convince me that everyone around the core four doesn't think there's something hinky going on there. also again not technically a ship fic but I'm still putting it here
Gonna Be A Better One (A Thousand Miles To Your Door) occurs during the time period where Tim quit being Robin (and y'know Steph became Robin instead, but the fic doesn't really deal with that). In this au Kon says fuck that and insists on staying in contact with Tim. great timkon and feels very true to both of them!
time flies by is very emotional for me. I described this in my bookmark as "post n52/rebirth, Tim misses Kon like a phantom limb". that's a good description honestly. I've reread this so many goddamn times actually
batfam fics
Obedience - I'm not the only one obsessed with Ella Enchated AUs, right? right??? anyway this fic is actually so concerned with what is and isn't typical behavior for Tim and also is one of my favorite type of AUs so it's near and dear to me
Exit Strategy breaks my heart - although tbf a lot of these fics do, I definitely read a lot of hurt/comfort. anyway this one is about Tim taking Damian's derision to heart and deciding to leave. The Tim & Damian stuff here is just chef's kiss
The Study of Birds - Tim & Damian bond over birding
Our Common Grave - this is not the only au I've bookmarked focusing on the time Damian cut Tim's line, but the others aren't as focused on Tim, imho, more on the consequences for Damian (or lack thereof, depending on the fic). It's not that I don't like those, I love them even, but obviously they don't fit on a Tim fic rec list. Anyway some quality Tim & Jason stuff here. Ironically even though it's probably my fav batfam dynamic I wouldn't put most of the Tim & Jason stuff I've bookmarked on here, a lot of it is woobified content. not all of it, but a lot of it.
finally, one of my favorites - break. in this au Tim never really joins the batfam and only bruce and alfred ever know his identity. and then he just... stops being a hero. hopeful ending. really good in general, another common reread for me.
hope you enjoyed and let me know if you want any more fic recs!!!

Tumblr media
As the morning goes by, you and Gar spend most of it in the living room. You ate your breakfast together, far earlier than ever intended but it was kind of nice because it was just the two of you. The rest of the Titans were still asleep and Jason only came by to pluck a pancake off of your plate before going back to his room. You and Gar do spend enough time alone but not having anyone else up, besides Jason, is really nice. You just get to be around each other without knowing that someone is going to interrupt or you'll have some type of training session to get to. It's nice and comforting.
One by one, the Titans get up, Dick being the first one and he's surprised to see the two of you awake and in the living room so early, especially you. You’re not an early riser. He doesn't ask questions though and hopes it's because you had trouble sleeping and not because you and/or Jason were up to something that Gar had to talk you out of. He just lets you be while you and Gar have a rewatch of The Walking Dead.
"I'd totally survive the apocalypse." You let out a sigh as you turn on the fifth episode.
Gar lets out a laugh beside you. "You could survive anything at this point."
"Right? Probably don't even have to try." You turn to face Gar. "Okay, if the apocalypse happens," You start and Gar raises his brows at you, intrigued where this is going. "Do you think it'll be like Walking Dead, Zombieland, The Last Of Us, or Love and Monsters?"
Gar lets out a breath, looking to the ceiling before looking back to you. He's definitely thought about this. "Walking Dead or The Last Of Us, both of those seem realistic."
You let out a booming laugh. "True! That would be the most likely scenario, even in a world with metahumans."
"It's also better than Zombieland zombies that can run."
"I know! That makes the whole thing a bit more terrifying." You shake your head. "But, I hope we end up with Love and Monsters because I mean, giant animals."
"That would be ideal." Gar gestures towards himself.
"A green tiger would be very normal."
"Exactly!"
Your laughter subsides and you fall into a comfortable silence. Gar resituates and guilt eats away at your bones. He winces when he moves and you figure it's because his side hurts. You swear you'll be apologizing for it every single day until you both die. You’re very grateful for him though because he is very understanding of it. You think most people would have dropped you, wanted nothing to do with you, and wouldn't trust you anymore. But, not Gar. You’ve already apologized several times since it happened and Gar has been telling you that it's okay and he's okay with a kind smile. You’ve said it before and you'll probably always think it, Gar is unfathomably kind.
"Are you sure you're okay?" You ask, guilt coating your words.
"I'm positive." Gar chuckles softly. "I'm fine."
You nod softly. "I'm still really fucking sorry."
"It's okay." Gar urges you before taking a drink of the Gatorade. "It was an accident."
"I know." You let out a sigh. "But, I'll probably be trying to make it up to you for...the rest of our lives." You laugh softly.
"You don't have to. Rachel nearly took my hand off and I'm fine."
"She...what?" You pause.
Rachel even accidentally attacking Jason makes sense. Jason pushes her buttons more than anyone so if she were going to snap, it would be on Jason. But Gar? What could Gar have possibly done?
"Yeah, I woke her up when you guys got kidnapped. Her cloud of razor blades attacked me."
"Okay, that's not fair. How are you the one getting hurt by us?" You groan. "I'm really sorry and I'm sorry I didn't know."
You were a little preoccupied with being kidnapped and tortured and then nearly dying and nearly losing Jason. You not noticing is excusable but that doesn’t stop you from feeling guilty about it. Gar was still hurt and you should have noticed. Gar would have noticed if the roles were reversed.
"You were kidnapped and then dropped from a skyscraper. I think not knowing is acceptable." Gar chuckles.
"Yeah, that's true." You shrug a shoulder. "Still, I'm sorry." You scrunch your nose. "So, whatever you need, let me know and I will get the thing." You declare, your voice confident.
"You're not gonna budge on that, are you?"
"Nope." You let out a laugh.
Your conversation gets interrupted by an alert coming from the intercom system. The two of you look at each other with confused expressions before getting up to see who's at the door. Everyone you both know is already at the tower, besides Dick, he left out of nowhere, but he doesn't need the intercom system to come up.
When Gar hits the button for the video and sound feeds on the intercom, you both see a woman with strawberry blonde hair looking a little panicked.
“My name is Eve Watson and I’m looking for someone who I think might be here.” She says, voice panicky and rushed.
You give Gar a shrug as he looks to you.
“Maybe you should go get Kory.” Gar whispers and you nod before running off to get Kory.
Someone showing up, in general, seems a little weird. You’ve been at the tower for three months and no one besides Uber Eats drivers ever show up at the tower. But, somehow this random woman knew you had weird flying guy? That seems a little off.
You find Kory in the room with the mystery guy, talking with him while he’s still unconscious.
“Uh…Kory?”
“Hmm?” Kory looks over to you. “What’s going on?”
“There’s some woman here?” You question. “Gar is talking to her through the intercom. She says her name is Eve Watson and she thinks she’s looking for someone here.” You look from Kory to the mystery guy before looking back to Kory.
“Okay.” Kory nods carefully as she gets up. “Let’s go then.”
Kory and you make your way back down the hall and back to Gar.
“Is there someone named Conner there?” You and Kory hear Eve say through the intercom just as you approach.
“Let her up.” Kory says and Gar takes a second look at Kory, almost to be unsure about it but he does as told.
The woman comes up through the elevator, Gar, you, and Kory waiting for her to come up. When she does, she has a white dog with pointy ears walking beside her. It’s in that moment, you trust her.
You’ve always wanted a dog but your mom would never let you get one. They’re a big responsibility and you didn’t have a lot of money. With your mom being a vet, it always seemed strange you didn’t have a pet. You understood the reasoning but it did not stop you from asking every birthday for a dog. But, now, there is a dog right in front of you and you haven’t been able to pet a dog since you were uprooted from Gotham. This is the best thing that’s happened in two weeks.
“She has a dog.” You whisper to Gar.
Gar chuckles softly. “She said the dog lead her here?”
“Oh, so a smart dog.” You smile almost visibility vibrating next to him.
“Are you okay?”
“Love dogs.”
“You think we have Conner?” Kory asks.
“It sounds crazy, but the dog led me here.” Eve explains. “Tall, dark hair, looks like Superman.” Even lets out a sigh.
“Come with me.” Kory jerks her head towards the hallway.
Your smile falls as you watch the dog follow the women down the hallway and Gar lets out a laugh.
“Why don’t you go with them? I was gonna take a nap anyway.” 
“Are you sure? We could finish--”
“Go see if you can pet the dog.” Gar continues to laugh. “I’ll catch up later, wake me up before they leave though. I also want to meet the dog.” Gar beams and you laughs, nodding quickly before darting down the hallway.
You follow the women to Conner’s room, Kory noticing you. Kory doesn’t say anything though, figuring maybe you want to offer some help. After what happened with Deathstroke, Kory is willing to let you hang around for right now if you want to help. While Kory agrees that allowing any of the new Titans to go after Dr. Light would have been a bad idea, you sympathizes with you and Jason.
You reach the room and Eve sits down on the bed beside the mystery guy who’s still unconscious. The dog sits on the floor beside Eve and while the women talk, you stick your hand out for the dog to sniff you. The dog doesn’t seem bothered so you sit on the floor and cautiously pet his head. A giant smile plasters itself across your face as you pet the dog, now listening to the women talk about how Eve created Conner and how he ended up here. She goes on about how he’s going to die unless they can bring the sun directly to Conner. But, this is Kory. So, she has an idea and goes off to grab Rachel.
“So, you like….created him?” You ask, still petting the dog.
“Yeah.” Eve lets out a sigh.
“That’s pretty cool.” You state.
“It’s dangerous.”
“Yeah,” You sigh. “Having powers in a world like this seems to be. But, like, he’s half Superman and Kory will fix him so…pretty cool.” You nod your head. “What’s his name?”
“The dog?” Eve asks and you nods excitedly. “Krypto.”
“Krypto.” You smile looking at the dog. “I love dogs. Is it okay that I’m petting him? He didn’t seem to mind and you were talking.”
“Yeah, it’s okay.” Eve laughs softly.
“Hey, uh, you know, Conner saved my best friend.” You explain.
“He did? How?”
You shrug. “Dunno, exactly, I was dangling for my life but from what I’ve heard firsthand and what everyone else said, my friend was falling from a fifteen-story skyscraper and Conner came out of nowhere, jumped on a car and caught him mid-air.” Eve watches you carefully. “Look, I’m just saying you feel guilty and shit but had you found him earlier, it’s possible my friend would have died so I don’t think you should feel guilty about it.”
“He could die and that’s my fault. I created him and didn’t help enough.”
“No, you said that you helped him escape. They were gonna use him as a weapon, probably. You helped him and Kory is gonna save him. She’s a badass, trust me. So, you did good.” You offer her a kind smile.
“Thank you.” Eve says softly before looking back to Conner.
After a few minutes, Kory comes back with Rachel and she directs you, Eve, and Krypto to wait outside of the room. You sit right back down with Krypto, petting him while Kory gets Conner out of the bed and holds him up. She warns you it might get a little bit warm before asking Rachel if she’s ready. Rachel is a little uncertain and so are you.
Rachel has a hard time controlling her powers and you don’t really know why Kory trusts her so much to keep them in check right now. But, you trust Kory so there has to be a reason. Rachel uses her powers and her black and purple smoke surrounds Kory and Conner while Kory turns into a ball of fire. Your jaw nearly hits the floor as you watch.
“What…the…fuck.” You mutter and Eve has the same expression. “Sick.” You’re awestruck look turns into one of amazement and a giant smile comes to your face.
When Rachel brings her power back in, Kory stops and Conner is awake again. This definitely goes down in one of the coolest things you’ve ever witnessed and you find yourself having a little more respect for Rachel. Rachel always spoke so highly of Kory and maybe this is one of the reasons. Kory believes in Rachel enough to trust her to use her powers and not kill her. Not that you think Rachel could but it’s the trust that’s there and maybe that’s the whole issue with the tower right now. You, Gar, and Jason trust each other. But, Jason and you don’t trust Dick very much. Rachel doesn’t trust Jason and you think she doesn’t trust you very much because of your close proximity to Jason. The only person everyone collectively trusts is Gar but that doesn’t make for a very good team and you wonders if the Titans will ever work because of that.
Kory, Rachel, and you leave Eve, Conner, and Krypto to themselves, going your separate ways so they can talk. You head towards Gar’s room to tell him what just happened but his door is still shut and you know if he were awake, the door would be open. After last night, you do not want to wake him up so, you head two doors down to Jason’s room. You knock but then open the door, finding Jason standing in front of his windows, just looking out.
“Jay?” You call but he doesn’t even move. You walk beside him, looking from his eyes to the windows and then back to him. “Jason?” You wave your hand in front of his face and that seems to break him out f his trance.
“Fuck, yeah?” Jason jumps, spinning to you.
“You alright?” You ask, brows furrowed and the excitement you just felt vanishes and you worry about your best friend again.
“Yeah, what?” Jason snips and you narrows your eyes.
“You were just standing here…looking at the window?”
“You got a problem with that or something?” Jason snips again.
“Oh, snippy today.” You roll your eyes and walk over to one of his chairs, Jason shaking his head in confusion.
“Sure, make yourself comfortable.”
“I usually do.” You chortle. “Wanna know what just happened?” You ask, dropping the conversation about him because he doesn’t want to talk about it and you’re not gonna push him. Not today because maybe you owe him that much for last night.
Jason sighs and turns to face you. “Sure?”
“So, some woman shows up because of the guy that saved you and turns out, dude is named Conner and he is half fucking Superman and Lex Luther.” Your eyes nearly bug out of your head and Jason’s eyes widen.
“You’re fucking lying.”
“I could not make this shit up!” You exclaim. “So, she shows up and she’s got this dog with her who’s really cute. I got to pet him.” You beam and Jason finds it cute that you got sidetracked by the dog not the whole Superman and Lex Luthor thing. “So, in order to wake up Conner, Kory grabbed Rachel and turned into a ball of fire while holding Conner and Rachel used her powers to like keep it contained.” You ramble. “I know you don’t like Rachel or her powers but dude, it was the coolest shit I have ever seen.” You beam. “And Conner’s awake. Like, it worked.”
“He’s awake? From that?”
“Yeah, I guess it was something with kryptonite, that’s what he was shot with.” You explain.
“That’s…”
“Sick, right?” You ask.
“Yeah, that’s fucking sick. So, a ball of fire just wakes him up from a coma?”
“Guess so.” You laugh. “And there’s a dog.”
“You said that.” Jason chortles. “Didn’t realize you were a dog person?”
“Do I seem like a cat person to you?” You quip.
Jason laughs. “You're into Gar who turns into a fucking tiger.”
You pause before narrowing your eyes. "Yeah, but that's different. Tigers are not house cats." You hold your up and Jason shake his head at you. “So, it was super cool and I had to tell someone about it.”
“Gar not wanting to listen?” Jason quips.
“He’s napping, after last night I figured I’d let him nap.” You explain.
Jason nods just once. “How’d it go? After I left my own fucking room for you guys.”
Jason mostly asks because he wants to know if you both actually talked about your feelings or if you backed out of it. He figured Gar wouldn’t but he thought maybe you would. You didn’t seem too confident in your answer to Jason last night. You back out of a lot of the games you two play so he thought maybe you’d back out of telling Gar. He doesn’t hope for that though.
“Uh..." You furrow your brows. "It went, I guess. He's not mad at me or anything. He's being understanding, ya know?” You smile shyly.
"Did you tell him?" Jason asks, more or less digging for answers.
You pause for just a second, thinking about playing the game. But, then you think about how that would be unfair. You both made your decisions.
"No..." You let out a scoff. "It did not seem like the right time and..." You shrug, hiding more of the reason because you’d not about to tell Jason the reason you didn't tell Gar is because you like him. "I don't want him to feel obligated to tell me the same thing because I said it. I'll tell him eventually." You shrug it off and turn the question back to him. “You’ve been hanging out with Rose a lot…?” You question.
Jason gains a goofy grin. “She kissed me last night.” Jason announces.
“She what?” You nearly yell and you can feel the burning start in the very pit of your stomach. Definitely not jealousy.
Jason shrugs. “Yeah,” He has this cocky smile as he licks his lips.
You don’t need to know that Rose kissed him and then Jason put a stop to it like how he did with you last week. You don’t need to know that little bit of information.
“You really like her?” You ask, the slightest bit of snark in your voice that Jason absolutely catches.
Jason shrugs again. “Think so.” Jason laughs softly because he can’t have you. But, he likes Rose enough. He could like her more if he gave her a fair shot. Rose is different. Jason can’t break or hurt her. Deathstroke took care of that. And Gar isn’t into Rose.
“Good, I hope she makes you happy. She’s pretty cool.” Your words taste sour on your tongue but you swallow your pride anyway. You do want him to be happy. Jason deserves to be happy.
“Yeah, thanks.” Jason chuckles softly. “She got mad though, like right after.”
“What, why? You’re not that bad of a kisser.” You tease him, trying your best to brush it off.
“Shut the fuck up.” Jason groans, but there's still a hint of his cocky grin pulling at his lips. “I borrowed Dick’s records, he had one with her brother’s name on it. She freaked out on me.” The smirk falls as he shakes his head, brows knitted together.
“That’s weird.” Your brows furrow. “Have you talked to her about it?”
“Told her I didn’t know about it, think we’re alright now. But I didn’t even know she had a brother.”
“Seems getting information out of her is like getting information out you. Pulling teeth.” You chuckle softly. “I don’t know that is weird though.”
“Yeah.” Jason lets out a sigh but before either of you can continue the conversation, Rachel comes barging in.
Rachel storms right up to Jason and starts yelling. “How fucked up are you?” She yells, your eyes widen. “All you do is give people a reason to hate you!”
Jason just stares at her. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“The crosses on my mirror!”
“Still don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.” Jason’s voice is flat but Rachel doesn’t believe him.
Her eyes turn red as she shoves his shoulder. “Don’t fucking lie to me!” Her voice is lower and freaky with the shove.
“What the fuck?” You jump up from your seat on his chair, moving to stand in between them. "Leave him alone." You grit your teeth and you don't want to do this today. Why is she even blaming Jason?
Jason pauses for a second. He's not going to stand here and be blamed for something he didn't even do. He's been in his room since he got done training two hours ago. “I’m sick of this shit.” Jason mutters, grabbing his jacket and storming out of the room.
“Literally, what the fuck, Rachel?” You stare at her, fists balled at your sides but just for a second before you follow Jason, Rachel right behind you.
You’re questioning the universe right about now. You desperately want to know why either of you can’t seem to catch a fucking break. Seriously, what could either of you have possibly done to piss the universe off so badly? Especially Jason. He actually hasn’t done a single thing and yet he keeps getting dealt these hands and now Rachel is jumping down his throat. It’s ridiculous.
You and Rachel follow Jason into the living area where Dawn, Hank, and Kory are.
“Don’t fucking walk away from me!” Rachel screams past you.
“SHUT UP!” You scream, trying to catch up to Jason.
“Woah, hey, what’s happening?” Dawn asks from her seat at the snack bar.
“Jason drew crucifixes all over my mirror!” Rachel points her finger at Jason standing ten feet away from him while you’re smack in the middle as you all come to a halt.
“Bullshit!” Jason looks at Rachel.
“Jason, it’s okay if you’re angry.” Dawn says as she approaches the three of you.
“I didn’t do shit, okay?” Jason’s voice sounds desperate this time. “Look, don’t blame me for her voodoo issues.” Jason says as Donna walks in from behind him.
“What’s up with all the drama?” Donna asks as she stands next to Dawn.
“Someone drew crosses on Rachel’s mirror and she thinks Jason did it.” Dawn explains keeping her voice kind and calm as usual.
“I know he did it.” Rachel declares.
“No, he didn’t, Rachel!” You interject. “You’ve just got fucking problems with him so you’re first fucking response is to blame him.” You roll your eyes and cross your arms.
“Cute idea with the Bourbon bottle.” Hank starts, making his way towards the older women. “Not my type though. I’m more of a Sour Mash guy.” Hanks says, this time Jason and you looking at him with confusion having no idea what he’s even talking about. “You ever go into my room and pull that shit again, I’ll forget what team you’re on.”
“Why Jason?” Donna asks.
You let out a huff. You can’t believe you’re listening to them blame him for absolutely no reason. And when you look to Jason, he looks completely heartbroken and devastated. He has no idea what they’re even talking about. You don't think you'll forgive any of them for the look on Jason's face right now. And the fact none of them even see it, makes the whole thing that much worse.
“I don’t know what happened, guys but I-I didn’t do it.” Jason says, his voice defeated. You’ve never heard him stutter before.
“What about the picture of Elis?” Dawn asks.
“The orange soda bottle?” Donna asks, everyone pointing fingers at Jason.
“He did it to you guys, too?” Rachel asks.
“Fuck this.” Jason huffs, ready to leave the conversation.
“Hey,” Hank yells. “We’re not done here, kid.”
“You people are insane!” Jason yells, his eyes turning glossy. “I’d rather be with Deathstroke than you assholes.” Jason pauses and you can see his heart literally breaking. “You guys think everything is my fault.”
There it is. He can’t do it anymore. Even though he didn’t do anything, it’s still somehow his fault. He didn’t mean for the Deathstroke thing to happen. It was an accident and he’s the one that suffering the consequences but they’re all blaming him. They’re blaming him for this stuff he doesn’t even understand. What would an orange pop have to do with anything? The Titans have been on edge this whole time and Jason’s beginning to think it’s him. Maybe if he weren’t around, the Titans would be fine. Maybe they would all get along. They definitely would not be having this argument right now. All of this is his fault and he can’t do it anymore.
“Why is that?” You snap your attention to the older Titans and position yourself to be standing with your back towards Jason, drawing your own line in the sand. “He clearly didn’t fucking do it and none of you even suspected him until Rachel decided to fucking lose it.”
“Because I know he did it!” Rachel screams.
“Why would he do it, Rachel?” You screams over her. You’re going to lose your mind, you can feel it.
“He hates me, Y/n! Unless you’re too blind to see that!”
“You almost fucking killed him! Of course, he hates you!” You fight back, catching Rachel off guard. You will throw her under the bus. She’s gonna throw Jason under the bus, you’ll the same to her.
“You did what?” Kory asks.
“Yeah? In training, she lost fucking control and almost fucking killed him. Lifted him ten feet into the air, aimed a bunch of swords at him.”
“He hit me when I was down!”
“We were all blindfolded for fuck's sake! He didn't even hit you that hard!” It's in this moment, you’re positive Jason has always been right about Rachel because this is actual insanity.
Gar comes from one of the hallways looking exhausted. “Can’t a guy get some sleep?” His voice is drowsy and you glance to him.
“No, because everyone in the tower has literally lost their damn minds! They’re blaming Jason for some fucking bullshit!” You throw your arm out towards the older Titans.
“You’re always on his side!” Rachel screams.
“Someone has to be, Rachel! Clearly, none of you are gonna actually ask him if he did it. You’re all just pointing fucking fingers like a bunch of children.” You look at the supposed adults surrounding you. “Hey, uh, right, so how did Jason do it when I was like….with him? Do you think he ran out of his room the second Kory came to get you just do that? That's fucking stupid!"
“He's the only one that would have done it!" Rachel argues.
You laugh. How can anyone be taking this seriously right now? “But he wouldn't even do it! I know he didn't do it! He was barely fucking awake when I walked into his room! How would he have done it?!” You tell a little bit of lie. It's not that he was asleep but he was kind of in a trance when you walked in. Regardless, you know it wasn't Jason. He wouldn't mess with Rachel like that and the more you think about it, the more you’re realizing that almost every single one of their fights has been caused by Rachel.
“We aren’t pointing our fingers at him.” Dawn says calmly.
“Hank is! Rachel is! You asked him about the picture of Elis and you,” You face Donna. “Asked about a pop? How the fuck would he know any of that!? Jason’s right, you’re all fucking insane! You all take down these shitty fucking people with evidence but when it comes to your own, you don’t need evidence to point the finger! What the hell is that about!?”
“Jason is an asshole!” Rachel yells.
“He is! But he isn’t a mind games kind of asshole! And being an asshole doesn't justify being blamed for some bullshit he very clearly did not do! He’s got more of a fucking problem with Dick and Dick is the only one not experiencing this weird shit, isn’t that weird? What the hell is wrong with you guys?” You scoff.
The anger bubbles through your entire body. Every inch of you feels like it's on fire. It's disgusting and appalling that these supposed heroes can blame Jason for this. How do they not see that he's struggling? How have they not noticed he's all but sleeping in the training room and skipping dinner? You know you cannot be the only to have noticed. Gar has. They should notice. They're supposed to be looking out for you four, not making false accusations with no proof or even a motive. It's not right and it's not fair. Jason deserves better than all of them.
“Y/n.” Gar warns softly as your hands start to glow.
“No! Fuck that! Are you all fucking blind? Are Gar and me the only fucking people noticing that he is really fucking struggling right now? And all of you are going to be making it worse! He is practically living in the training room, he’s barely eating, and he’s not sleeping. I know you guys are self-absorbed and for heroes, that’s weird, too but you guys have had to have noticed right?”
The room goes silent. The only one who has noticed is Kory and she isn’t accusing Jason of anything. You can feel the burning start behind your eyes with the silence of the room. This is the most unbelievable thing you’ve ever witnessed and been a part of. How have they not noticed? It's so blatantly obvious and none of them even care. It's cruel.
“Wow.” You nod your head with a scoff. “Good work, team. Good work looking after your own.” You grit your teeth and you can’t believe these people consider themselves heroes. “You know, you get kidnapped, tortured, and then dropped from a skyscraper and let me know how that treats your psyche. He didn’t fucking do it and it’s disgusting you all even think he did.”
“Who else did it then, kid?” Hank questions, crossing his arms.
“I don’t know but it wasn’t him. I know him better than all of you. It wasn’t him, Hank.” You’re nearly whining, practically pleading with them to believe you.
“He drew the crosses on my mirror, no one else hats me.” Rachel declares.
“Okay, let me break this down because you're clearly not using your brain. Mental manipulation works best when the person doing it, lets you believe you’re on the same side. If you were on opposing sides, it’s easier to see through the bullshit. Jason and you are not on the same side, ever. So, why would it be him? Again, he isn’t the mental manipulation type. The closest he gets to it is just talking and talking and talking until you get annoyed.”
“We know it wasn’t Rachel.” Donna states. “Or Gar.”
“It wasn’t Dick.” Dawn chimes in.
“How do you know!? He’s been acting fucking weird as shit lately, too!”
Dick's been kind of down and out lately. He's been checking around the tower and you swear you overheard him talking to himself the other night. Dick seems like he's also losing it. But, again, apparently, the only people who notice are you and Gar. For people who are supposed to be observant, they all suck at it.
“Dick wouldn’t do that.” Hank defends.
“Right, so I should believe Dick wouldn’t do it because you say so but you won’t believe that Jason didn’t do it because I say so. Great reasoning there, Hank.” You gives Hank a sarcastic thumbs-up.
“Hey, watch who you’re talking to.”
“Yeah? The fuck you gonna do about it? I’ve been held captive twice and once was with Deathstroke, I’m not fucking afraid of you.” You scoff at him. “Gonna forget what team I’m on, too?”
“Y/n, come on.” Gar pleads with you.
“This is fucking bullshit and I know you know it.” You look over at him before looking back to the older Titans. “What did he do that is so bad that you guys hate him that much?” Your voice breaks with the question because you can’t imagine him doing anything. You can’t figure out why no one sees him the way you do. Or why none of them want to.
Just as Rachel is about to fight you, the elevator opens and all of you look over, seeing Dick look a little spazzed out.
“He’s here.” Dick whispers as if he’s just cracked some sort of code. “In the tower. Deathstroke’s here in the tower.” Dick explains. “He took pictures of all of us.”
You would very much, also, like to be back with Deathstroke. At least the guy was a little more straightforward than these people. Deathstroke had a reason for the madness. It wasn't a good reason but it was a reason. Meanwhile, the Titans have nothing and Dick had officially lost his mind.
“Dick…talk to me, what’s with the gun?” Hank asks, pulling everyone’s attention to the gun in Dick’s hand.
It’s this moment that confirms to you that everyone in the tower has lost their minds. Deathstroke is also completely insane but you and Jason were tortured by him and even you two aren’t that out of your minds. You aren’t sure what’s up with the Titans, but at this point, you don’t even wanna know. Instead, you figure you’ll use this time to grab Jason and try to avoid the other Titans. But, you look around and he’s gone.
“Fuck.” You let out an exasperated sigh, actively pulling attention back on you. “Shit.” Your eyes widen and the panic sets in. Jason isn’t doing well mentally and now you’re scared for what he’s going to do. Everyone blames him. Everyone hates him. He wants to be with Deathstroke over these people.
“Y/n?” Gar asks, seeing the panic written across your entire body as you approach him.
“Check the training room for Jason.” You rush as you dart the other way and everyone is left confused as to what you could be in a hurry for.
You head to his room first and he isn't there. You don't think he would go to the training room, it's too exposed. But, Jason keeps falling in his dreams and he has a thing for suffering. If it were you, you'd go to the roof so that's where you go. If Jason would rather be with Deathstroke, the answer would be the roof. He’s terrified and you can see it. He has nightmares about falling so of course, that would be his way out. To him, it’s going to be easy and accessible and no one even noticed he was gone.
You run towards the roof door, barging through it and the door flies open. Your heart sinks as you sees Jason standing on the ledge, looking straight ahead. Your feet come to a complete stop and you swear you never thought you’d have to talk someone down from this. And you hate that he even feels this way. He deserves so much better. But, you have to swallow the lump that’s forming in your throat and walk over to him.
“Jay?” You call quietly, walking carefully as if the roof is a lake covered in thin ice. Any wrong step would send you both into freezing waters.
“They all hate me.” Jason’s voice is so small and it breaks a part of you.
“They fucking suck, Jason.” You state, trying to make your voice sound like it’s not about to crack.
“It’s all my fault.”
“It’s not your fault.” You hold your voice steady as you close the distance toward the ledge. “None of this is your fault.” You state strongly. “Cam you please get down?”
“Rachel blamed me first. Maybe if I didn’t tell her to get checked by a priest.” Jason lets out a breath, ignoring the request. He swears everyone’s lives would be better if he wasn’t a part it anymore.
You take a step close to the ledge, looking over it and you feel yourself grow nauseous. You’re sick and tired of these heights but this is Jason. You look up to him and with shaky hands, you put your hands on the ledge and lift yourself up. You take a seat, letting your legs dangle as you have a death grip on the ledge. Jason glances to you with just his eyes, daring to not move his head. You’re never going to let Jason be alone in any of this. If he’s going to stand on the edge, you’re gonna be right there with him. He will never be alone if you have anything to say about it.
“Her dad possessed you, traumatized you. That wasn’t her fault, but it was her responsibility to apologize for it and listen to you about it. That’s not on you, Jay.”
“I just keep fucking up.” His voice quivers as he moves his foot forward and you nearly break.
“Jason,” You rush his name. “I am begging you not to walk off this roof.” You keep your attention on Jason and that’s all you can focus on. You can’t fucking lose him. “It’s not your fault. You’re not fucking it up. Okay? This is on them. You’re just trying to help.”
“I keep falling.” Jason’s voice quivers again. “It won’t stop.” Jason sucks in a breath and now you know why he keeps standing at his windows like that. He’s just reliving it over and over and over.
“Jason, it’s gonna be okay.” You keep your voice soft and gentle as you keep your stare forward.
Jason doesn’t know how you can even say that. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to be okay. It’s been a week and it feels like it happened yesterday. It still feels like he’s on the window washing crane. The Titans hate him for no reason. He’s never done anything to make them hate him. That’s not going to be okay and it’s not going to get better. They’re always going to hate and they’re always going to blame him for anything they can. And it’s his fault.
This always happens. Jason pushes and pushes until people break and pull away. He doesn’t even know exactly why he does it but he does. People try to help him and it all fails. He’s a mess and maybe he’s too big of a mess to ever be fixed. He’s tired of it and he’s tired of feeling like this.
“Bruce wasn’t the first one, ya know?” Jason states. “Who tried to help me. I can make a list. Relatives, teachers, cops, Dick. Nobody's been up to the task.”
You pause and you already knew that all Jason has ever wanted is feel good enough. He sabotages. You get it because you do it, too just in different ways. But, Jason is not all bad. Jason is hard-headed and stubborn and cocky. He can be a little shit and he’s a little too snippy and sarcastic sometimes. But, if anyone bothered to get to know him, they’d know him how you know him. Which is that he’s a good friend. He’ll sacrifice his own feelings for his friends, he’s self-sacrificing, and kind, and funny. He’s charming and a geek in his own way. He’s a nerd and he deserves to be cared for. Everyone gave up way too soon.
“I am.” Your voice is quiet and you peak up at him with just your eyes, keeping your head steady and your words catch Jason off-guard. “I mean it. You know I don’t lie to you. Put that shit on me, remember? You’re not a fuck up. You deserve for people not to give up on you.”
Jason lets out a scoff because he doesn’t want to believe you. “I’ve got a poison in me.” Jason lets out a huff. “Shit spreads. It can affect even the healthiest people.”
“You don’t have a poison, Jay.” You state. “You don’t.”
“Look at what happened to you!” Jason’s eyes water further, blurring his vision slightly as his voice cracks.
“What? Deathstroke?” You scoff. “I was fucked up long before Dick brought me here, alright? Gotham, death, torture, held captive, almost murdered. Almost murdered Jerry. That’s all me, that has nothing to do with you. Deathstroke was gonna happen. If it wasn’t you coming up with the idea, it would have been me, let’s be honest.” 
Jason bounces to something else. He’s finding every reason he can to keep standing here. He wants it all to be over, for the pain and the shame and the guilt to just stop. But, he doesn’t want to give up either. There are two sides of his brain playing tug of war. One of them is screaming and crying, pleading to hold a little longer while the other side is cackling and chanting to jump because everyone’s lives would be better without him in it. 
“It’s happened before.” Jason starts. “I once spent two nights in juvie and four fucking people died. It follows me like a curse.”
Your brows furrow and you hate that he feels this way about himself. No one should ever feel like that. You want to get off of this roof and hunt down every single person who’s ever made Jason Todd feel like he’s a poison and he’s not good enough. You’ll fight the entire world for him.
“Were you Robin?” You ask.
Jason pauses. “Yeah.”
“Then it’s not your fault.” You let out a scoff and you really do have something again Bruce and Dick. “That’s on Bruce. He’s been Batman our entire lives. He shouldn't need a Robin. He should have been a better Batman. It’s not your fault those people died, do you hear me?”
“I just want it to stop.” Jason’s voice finally breaks and you want to break with him but you can’t.
You want to drag him off of this roof and grab him by the face, scream at him that it’s all going to be okay and that he’s good enough. That he deserves everything good to happen because he is good. There is nothing wrong with him. He is worth the effort. But, you’re so scared that if you make any move towards him, he’ll lose it entirely. You would do anything to get his pain to stop.
“It’s not just you, Jay.” Your voice is soft. “Look, you know I have nightmares, too about all of it. It’s not just you and as long as I’m alive, it’ll never be just you. As long as I’m alive, you will never be alone in this shit.”
“What?”
“If I’m alive, you will never be alone. You won’t go through that shit alone because I’d follow you into the dark if you asked me to. You’re my best friend in the whole world and...I care more about you than I do about almost anyone I have ever met. I’d do anything in the world if you asked me to. You and me. Always.” You pause, looking behind you to see Dick standing a few feet away. “I mean it. You’re not a fuck up and you are not alone. Ever. Fuck, everyone else, okay? I am batshit terrified right now but I’m here with you because I care about you and I’d lose my fucking mind if I lost you. My life would be so much fucking worse without you in it.” Your words more intense and stern with every second. "Fuck them because you're not a fucking poison and you're not fucking cursed. And someone should have fucking been there for you. So, I will be. Now, get the fuck off this ledge.”
“What am I supposed to do?”
“Put it on me.” Your voice is so gentle, it nearly shatters Jason. "I will never give up on you. I will never let you do any of this alone, Jay. Please." You finally look at him with the final plea. Your eyes lock with Jason's and he make the decision. He takes a step back, stepping down from the ledge.
You follow his lead quickly, relieved over the whole situation and you feel like you can breathe again. You close the distance between you and wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him close to you. Jason buries his face into your shoulder, his arms hugging you tightly. Everything is so heavy for him. The weight of the world is drowning him and you are his life jacket.
And Dick sees the two of you and that’s when he gets it. When he gets what it means it has someone who is literally a ride or die. Dick worried about you together after Jerry. As friends, as more than friends, just being around each other. Something told Dick that would just be the beginning and the Deathstroke happened and Dick was certain he was right. But, now, he’s not sure if you’re the cause for each other’s destructive behavior.
You’re both just like that but you both get it. You understand exactly what the other is going through and how to handle it. It’s not about you causing each other to do something stupid, it’s that you both have someone who is there when you do it so you can pick up those pieces. He gets it now and he understands why he should have told the Titans about Jericho from the beginning. None of this would have happened. Jason would not have wanted to walk off this roof had he been honest. Maybe the Titans wouldn’t have disbanded. This is on him, not the two of you in front of him.
“This is my fault.” Dick speaks up, you and Jason pulling away from each other.
“Okay?” You question him, not even wanting to deal with him. This is also his fault, Jason and everything. This is on Dick. 
“Deathstroke, all of this is my fault.” Dick admits.
“Yeah, I said that.” You nod your head. You’re not dealing with this. You got Jason off the ledge and would like to bring him inside and shield him from the Titans. “I’ll get Rachel or Dawn or Donna to talk you down though if you need it.” Jason looks at you, a bit surprised by the venom in your voice.
“No,” Dick shakes his head. “I owe everyone an explanation.” Dick sucks in a breath, you and Jason waiting to hear where this could possibly be going right now, of all times. “I killed Deathstroke’s son.” Dick admits.

Summary: It’s clear that you have a total crush on them, but what happens next? Who confesses first? Do they tease you or do they just let it happen?
Tumblr media
Ace with a reader who has an obvious crush on them!
This man has no idea what to do-
When you complimented about his achievements, he thought you just liked him, not like liked him.
Like, should he confront you? Ignore it, ignore you? Who knows?
At first, he somewhat distances himself from you.
But then he’ll start talking to you again. Feeling more of a connection.
He TOTALLY then teases you.
“Why are you staring at me so much? Do you like me?” He would say with a smile.
And when you blush because of it, his ego skyrockets. But he can’t tease forever now..
“Well luckily for you, I like you too.”
(i still don’t think I can write him correctly help-)
Tumblr media
Whit with a reader who has an obvious crush on them!
Whit’s a similar case to Ace…
Except he notices your crush on him immediately and then teases you right after.
Ranging from cheesy pick-up lines to slight signs of affection.
And he’s always so proud when your face flushes.
But one day, you stop talking to him…
No laughing at his jokes, no “Good morning, Whit!” Every day..and he misses it…
He’s gotten so accustomed to a life with you that he can’t envision one without you.
And so, when he sees you the next time, he pulls you away, and confesses.
“Hey, uh..I’m sorry if I made you feel like my feelings are fake, but I really like you..are you willing to date me?”
(why am I blushing and shi-)
Tumblr media
Levi with a reader who has an obvious crush on them!
I fully like to think he’s so dense when it comes to love (isn’t it canon?)
“I’m sure that women like…water..” is literally his line in the VA trailer!
If by some miracle, he does find out about your crush, someone told him. (It was Eden lmao)
And then he’s blushing slightly, but inside…his heart is beating out of his chest.
You..like him? You, the prettiest one here?
(he’s definitely crushing on you without realizing it)
And then a few days later, without realizing it..he pulls you in, kissing you passionately.
“..I...sorry! I just really like you..!”
(I don’t think I portrayed his character correctly help)
Tumblr media
David with a reader who has an obvious crush on them!
This is definitely a “You fell first, but they fell harder.” Type of thing.
You, showing tons of admiration and love towards him, and him somewhat returning it with minimal effort.
He suspects you have a crush, but never gets a confirmation.
He really appreciated all the support, but he thought of you only as a friend.
That is..until he starts seeing you hanging out with Whit..
You’re laughing with him..having such a good time…and, are you blushing?
And this feeling arises within his chest. Jealousy? No, no, why would he be jealous? You’re just a friend.
(OMG! David’s an Adrien Agreste kinnie confirmed!)
Unless..what if you’re not just a friend?
Now he realizes just how much you mean to him.
And he needs to confess, fast. If you get together with Whit..He doesn’t know what he’ll do.
You’re alone now, perfect timing, he comes over to you and says;
“Please don’t tell me you’re in love with Whit, Y/n. I love you..more than I thought I could ever love someone. Please accept my feelings!”
Tumblr media
Thank you for reading! Always remember to take care of yourself! Bye! (I need to think of a better title for this but I’m too lazy-)

I have finally surfaced from the deep waters of Baldur's Gate that had me drowning for the last few months
And so, I have moved on to Assassin's Creed: Mirage
It's interesting how much it ifeels both like AC1 and AC: Origins at once. Yet you can still tell it was supposed to be a Valhalla DLC - the movements, NPC behavior (unless they are the named ones), even, to a point, the environment - reminds me of Valhalla
And yet they somehow managed to fit the mission style (at least so far) that resembles ACII into it. And finally! There is way more clutter that you can climb all over
Now
To the story itself
Baby Basim is adorable and should be protected at all costs. And should not be allowed to go without a beard
Mind, I'm not even done with the first major assassination - so that may well change yet. But right now? He reminds me of a mix of Ezio and Bayek, leaning more towards Bayek. Which makes my Bayek-loving heart beat faster.
But you can definitely tell he is his own character, still. For one - I don't think I've ever spent as much time pickpocketing people as I did here. Just going around Bazaar and nabbing the shiny golden pouches? Feels natural with Basim. And fun. I already have the achievement for it, one play session in
Stealth is another thing entirely... I'm not sure it's because I switched to a narrower keyboard recently, or is it me being rusty with AC games - or maybe even because it's intended as such. But Basim definitely feels like a glass canon. Parkouring? Assassinating? Those feel VERY comfortable, even without any substantial long-range weapon (like the bows we had in the three previous games). There are plenty of places to hide and plenty other options to use instead of taking the direct fight. But direct fight? I'll have to try and change the keybindings for dodge and parry just to make sure it's not due to keyboard - but direct fight feels lousy. Not because you can't do it, but because Basim seems to take so much damage
I'm very eager to see how Caravanserai mission will turn out

I’m a huge Multishipper and find the merits of almost any Ship for Bob’s Burgers. I’ve seen so many good content for so many lovely ships!! Here are some of my favorites (and the blogs that produce the best content for these ships):
Tina/Josh is so underrated, in my opinion. The show did make it so they’ll never be canon (probably), and Josh didn’t get nearly enough screentime, but I think they’re adorable. I loved them so much in Linda-Pendant Woman, with Tina pulling a Prince Charming and trying to find who Josh’s bandaid belonged to. And their Fresh Feed kiss!! Tbh, I kind of ship them the most (please don’t come for me) and they’re super cute. But the show’s most likely not going to do anything else with them. They have a ton of potential, and I wish they spent more time fleshing Josh out as a character. If they had, this ship had the potential of being as good or even better than some of the other ships with Tina. I also definitely headcanon Josh as Bi. That boy is not straight in my opinion.
Tinimmy is such a classic, I adore it and all of the lovely content that @drawthethingdoppelganger and @jimmyjrsmusoems have put out. These two are the absolute Tinimmy Queens, so if you want Tinimmy content, go to their blogs immediately!! It helps that this ship is basically canon, and Jimmy Jr. is such an awkward dork 😭 He doesn’t know how to express his emotions, but he does care so much about Tina despite what some people say 😒 It’s so frustrating when people always put J Ju down because of one episode (V For Valentine-Detta). Yes, it was a jerk move, but he’s a flipping middle schooler!! And it wasn’t even that bad, anyway. And one bad move doesn’t erase all of the lovely things he’s done for Tina. Like finding her Barrecklace and saying it made him think of her?? Wanting to do a Sky Kiss with her?? Agreeing to go on a date to Pie in the Sky even though he’s not really a fan, and inviting her on a completely genuine date to Fro-Yo Mama?? Come on, these two are adorable. And they deserve a coffee date sometime if DT’s recent art is anything to go by. I also headcanon Jimmy Jr. as Bi sometimes and a heavily closeted Gay boy other times. It kind of depends how I’m feeling, pffffft. @br1ghtestlight has headcanoned him as Aro/Ace, and that’s a fun and valid interpretation too, but I usually feel as if he does have some sort of interest in Tina romantically. I’m not sure. I guess it depends??
Zekina is so cute even though I don’t ship it as much as the other two. Zeke wanting to take Tina on a date to the aquarium and then out for tacos is just so adorable!! But it always annoys me so much when people say that Zeke is obviously the better choice for Tina and is always nicer to her and always has her best interests at heart. Like, Zeke is a sweetheart, but he’s had his moments of not being great to Tina. He’s a teenager just like Jimmy Jr. He’s not obviously the better choice for her just because he suggested that date of tacos and touch tanks. Zekina is lovely, and I respect anyone who ships it and makes content for it. I definitely see the appeal. But people really need to stop coming for Jimmy Jr. Yes, I will keep yelling about this forever 😭 Anyway, if you want some of the best Zekina content, you must go to @theangrypomeranian’s blog right now. You should absolutely read Baby Steps!! I started it but haven’t gotten far because of the length, but everyone should go read it and support them!! @br1ghtestlight has also written a Tina and Zeke fic (though they might just be platonic there) that I still haven’t read yet, but everyone should go read that too.
Zeke/Jimmy Jr., aka Zesto (not sure if that’s their actual ship name, but it should be) is great. It has so much potential, and I ship it a ton. I tend to ship Tina/Josh and Zeke/Jimmy Jr. the most, not because of Jimmy Jr., but because those are the ships I just enjoy the most and I think have the best potential/chemistry. But plenty of other ships have lovely potential and chemistry too!! Anyway, these two can be read equally well as platonic besties, but them being together romantically intrigues me. It would be a ton of fun, I think. They would definitely be a chaotic couple, but a cute one. I mean, Jimmy Jr.’s reaction when he thought Zeke would start going to a different school?? He was so stressed!! And Zeke always wanting to wrestle with J Ju as a sign of affection? And agreeing to do things like help J Ju get a chicken nugget in his mouth? I love.
Genecadero is adorable and @dianadeadwing has made such cute artwork for them. Gene doesn’t have many ships, and I probably enjoy this one the most. It’s definitely a rare pair. Gene deserves a cute romance with a sweet partner!! It’s weird to me when people sometimes say that Gene is too young for that when the show already tried giving him a straight relationship with Courtney. Yes, they broke up, but still. The showrunners are clearly open to giving Gene a relationship. I love the idea Diana brought up of Peter not-so-subtly having a crush on Gene and Gene just not getting the hints. But I like to think he becomes super lovestruck and a super doting partner when he’s older.
I’m cheating and putting Gene/Alexis (I came up with a super cute ship name for them now now I can’t remember what it is ☠️ Does anyone want to help me come up with one??) on here, because I was like “Welp, if others don’t want to give Gene many ships, I’ll make one myself!” I’ve grown very attached to Alexis as an OC, and I’ve suddenly realized he has similarities to Alex 😭 I imagined them both as being voiced by Thomas Middleditch, their names are similar, and are both kind of nerds. But I think that’s where the similarities end. I definitely wanted Alexis to stand out as a character, and I think he’s still different enough from Alex. Anyway, I can’t help but talk about these two, they make my heart sing. I will never get tired of making content about them or just rambling about them like here.
Gene/Sasha is such a rare pair, and the enemies to lovers potential?? Amazing, actually 🤌🏼 If this ship wasn’t so rare, I think it would have Louigan potential, tbh. I love the idea of these two talking more and bonding, because let’s be real, Sasha is 1,000% not straight. Just look at him. Their ship also kind of reminds me of Dipcifica from Gravity Falls, with the rich kid potentially opening up and becoming a better person thanks to someone else’s influence. I just love a good Enemies-to-Lovers romance, and the potential they have for banter is immaculate.
Ahhh, Roudise (aka Louwheeze, which is an incredible ship name), is just the cutest thing on earth, I adore it. I love a good Friends-to-Lovers, and I think I just have them on the brain because of Roudise Week. They’re just adorable and basically canon like Tinimmy. I probably ship them the most?? They just make me happy. I love how Rudy brings out Louise’s softer side, and Louise helps bring Rudy out of his shell. Their friendship is precious, their potential romance even more so. I just have a lot of thoughts about these two, they make me happy. Also, Louise slapping Rudy after kissing him in Bob, Actually sends me every time. If you want some of the best Roudise content, go to @ltwharfy and @devilh0rnsinc. Their Roudise content is just so lovely!!
Louigan!! This ship is great too. I don’t understand why people who ship it get blocked. There’s so much potential there!! Again, Enemies-to-Lovers is one of my favorites. And their potential for banter?? Amazing. Incredible. No notes. If you want the best Louigan content, you must go to @babsvibes immediately. I started reading Stacy’s Cardamom, which is basically her Magnum Opus. I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s incredible and everyone should go read it. She’s truly the Louigan Queen and got me interested in this ship in the first place. And she was kind enough to invite me onto the Louigan Discord, which has been an absolute blast (even though I hardly share anything Louigan on there ☠️). I want to change that and make more Louigan content. I have a lot of ideas. Y’all better watch out if Louigan Week happens again next September 👀 Louigan Week was also amazing this year!! Everyone show Babs some love for running that incredible event.
Louissica is cute and has potential. I feel as if it’s quite similar to Roudise as a cute, charming Friends-to-Lovers. But Jessica just needs to appear more and be more developed as a character, because she just hasn’t appeared enough for me to have as many thoughts about this ship as all of the others I’ve listed so far. I loved them hunting for that Wharf Monster together, that was such a fun side plot. And them bonding at Louise’s sleepover when she’d driven everyone else away.
BOBLIN. If there’s a ship from this show I love the most, it’s Boblin, no contest. There’s a reason my very first ask to DT was Boblin-related. But I’ve rambled about them enough, so I’ll try to keep this short, pfffffft. They’re an example of a couple that’s as close to perfect that I’ve ever seen. They’re so sweet you’ll get a cavity, they’re domestic, and they’re ancient as hell muppets. What else could you want?? I love how their love stems not just from huge, loud, romantic gestures. It also stems from more quiet, subtle moments. Like Bob massaging Linda’s feet. Or Linda deciding to give Bob a quiet night in for his birthday, because she realized he’d enjoy that the most. Or Bob making her a heart-shaped pancake on Valentine’s Day. You get the idea. If you want the best Boblin content, then @jimmypesto is your girl. She’s written some of the best BB fics I’ve read, and the way she writes Boblin is unmatched. She’s such a talented writer, it’s insane. She’s also written a ton of Boblin smut, if that’s your thing!!
Frondbrose is wonderful. These two also have such good chemistry and banter, it’s insane. Their Enemies-to-Lovers potential is insane. I wish they were canon so bad. They definitely need to interact more. Mr. Ambrose showing his softer side for Mr. Frond is just so adorable to me!! This man would be the epitome of “I hate everyone, but I don’t hate you 😌” They make me all giggly. I can’t get enough. They’re definitely the type to have Hate Sex once and then deny it ever happened 🤣. But everyone would know the truth.
Tedmort is so cute and has so much potential. I love it. I think Teddy and Mort’s friendship is precious already, but a potential relationship between them?? The wholesomeness meter would be off the charts. They can be an ancient muppet couple like Bob and Linda!! Mort would treat Teddy 1,000% better than Denise, but tbh, anyone else would treat Teddy better than Denise. If you want Tedmort, then @keepyourhornson-spyro is the person for you!! They’ve written some lovely Tedmort fics that everyone should read.
Marshmallow/Nat has such potential, and there should be content about them!! It just seems like such a fun ship, and I think being with Marshmallow would help Nat get over her ex-girlfriend. These two also share a similar vibe of just coming and going as they please, and “being truly free” 😌 I still love that Marshmallow is canonically Trans and Nat is canonically a Lesbian. They’re wonderful.
Hemita is a canonical rarepair, which I didn’t think was possible, but here we are. I think they’re so cute and definitely good for each other. Susmita asking out Henry in Morse Code?? That was adorable. We need more moments of these two being cute. I love them.
Barryl is such a rare pair and has won me over so much. There’s just something that makes sense about these two being together that’s difficult to describe. There’s something so sweet about Becky being able to find love after being unlucky with Jimmy Jr. Darryl would be such a sweet boyfriend to her, and she would be such a sweet girlfriend in return. They would be so cute holding hands and listening to the Frozen soundtrack on repeat. Sure, to ship them, you need to ignore Rosa, but she was only in one episode anyway. I gotta shout out @theangrypomeranian again for basically creating this entire ship herself. Amazing.
Arnlee is such a gigantic rare pair it’s insane, and they’ve definitely won me over too. They’re so cute!! They’re just two socially awkward kids who would work really well together. They deserve to have some sort of side plot where they bond. I would love that. @devilh0rnsinc made the cutest art of these two together for @ltwharfy, and that was what officially won me over. That and @ltwharfy’s adorable fic about them which everyone should go read.
I might cut myself off there, because this post is insanely long. But it just goes to show how many lovely ships there are in this fandom. And they’re all valid. Seriously, can we please just respect each other and who we ship??
Anyway, there’s a little something for everyone in terms of ships, and I just love that so much. Everyone needs to check out all of the blogs I mentioned for some lovely content❣️They’ve also just been so sweet and welcoming towards me, I can’t stress that enough!!

Am I the only one that feels that current ace is kind of lacking? Yes I get that twst is supposed to focus on dorm leaders and stuff but it feels like he keeps getting pushed to the side despite being one of the first main characters we actually meet. I wish there was something interesting going for him, like I'm well aware that the traitor theory has been proven wrong multiple times yet I still cling onto it because its one of the few ways he can be significant anymore. In general I just want more ace content plus his unique magic that hopefully comes out in book six, don't take this too literally as my wording my come off as wrong but hopefully you understand what I mean.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I definitely feel like Ace hasn’t been getting a lot of screen time in the main story since the prologue and episode 1, but I think it mostly makes sense. Each proceeding episode has to make way for new characters to play a part, so Ace kind of falls to the wayside with Deuce.
The two basically share the same amount of screen time following episode 1 (right down to their general lack of presence in both 4 and 6), with the big exception being 5; of the duo, Deuce takes center stage in the Pomefiore section due to his developing friendship with Epel, as well as his developing sense of self identity and unique magic. It kind of balances out Deuce taking a backseat to Ace in episode 1…? (Sort of???) Cuz I definitely felt like Ace was more involved than Deuce when it came to inciting rebellion against Riddle. I think maybe the perception of Ace not feeling important as of late is because the last time he was largely relevant was allllll the way back in the beginning of the main story.
That being said, I wonder if Ruler of the Abyss (episode 7) will have Ace getting his unique magic 🤔 since it’s already dealing with a bunch of hard-hitting story beats like Malleus’s impending dread of being abandoned by the people he cares for, Lilia’s departure, Yuu returning home, Grim’s realization that he will soon be alone (plus his potential OB). It’d be difficult for the devs to also squeeze in an arc about Ace feeling inferior to Deuce and coming to grips with what makes himself special… but hey, I still have my fingers crossed! 🤞 It’d be a real treat if we got to see all of Diasomnia’s UM reveals as well as Ace’s as the cherry on top! I think it could be done if 7 was like… super long or just really REALLY well written. Admittedly though, I would find this pacing a little weird, as we’d go from Deuce unlocking his UM in 5 to no progression of Ace’s reaction in 6 to suddenly addressing it in 7; you’d think it would flow more coherently if Deuce and Ace got their UMs in consecutive episodes (instead it was Deuce, then Epel), but I guess adding two extra bodies to the already bulky cast of 6 would’ve been too much 💦.
On the topic of Ace traitor theory 😅 I’m honestly shocked that it’s still around?? It’s not something I’ve ever really gotten behind, as I feel like a lot of the points brought up for it are very vague (like… “His last name is Trappola instead of Heart! He could be setting a trap!” and, “He has an older brother that used to be in Heartslabyul! Maybe Ace wants to get revenge for his brother.”). A fun idea for sure, but I don’t think I’ve seen a really solid explanation for why Ace would feasibly betray his friends in canon.
In spite of how bratty and callous he can be, I do believe Ace genuinely cares for his friends when it comes down to it and wouldn’t go out of his way to intentionally harm them. This is the same dude who took a long and extremely tedious route from the Queendom of Roses all the way back to Sage’s Isle just to make sure Yuu and Grim were okay over winter break, the same guy who was so relieved when Yuu and Grim safely returned to NRC campus.
I think there’s still ways for Ace to be a significant force in the main story (without him necessarily turning traitor), but it largely depends on how episode 7 continues to play from hereon out and what elements it chooses to focus on. It can be difficult to balance all of it, so I wouldn’t blame the devs if they decided to hold off on adding Ace into the episode 7 pot of plot points. If not in episode 7, there’s always the possibility for new main story content released afterwards to talk about Ace’s character (as well as new event stories and card vignettes where he will probably feature).

I watched Zootopia like 6 months ago on a whim, and now the fixation is still hyper...ing.
Yeah
Anyways, Judy and Nick are the best and deserve everything (I genuinely couldn't remember anyone else's names the first time I saw it) aaaaand yeah it's sad that the Fandom is basically nonexistent.
Actually, it's still going strong(?) on AO3 (i've made a few one-shots (shameless self promotion I'm Not_Quite_A_Moron there)) but still, kinda sucks.
Anyways, random headcanon time:
Nick has two moms (he doesn't have specific names for both of them, he just yells "MOM!" anytime he needs help)
Judy actually really likes eating meat, Nick just has to convince her to try it
Nick became really closed off and touch starved after the Junior Ranger Scouts incident, so now, he's a chronic cuddler (especially with Judy (which she loves))
Judy's on the autistic spectrum (she often stims by tapping her foot, and she likes to display affection via playful punches to the arm)
Judy was born on the same day that Nick got muzzled, as if the universe itself felt bad and said "here, have a rabbit" (definitely didn't steal this one from Tumblr nope certainly not)
Nick doesn't really like Gazelle's music, he's more of a rock kind of guy, but he'll stomach any song for Judy’s sake
Judy's asexual (Take one look at the nudist club scene and tell me she isn't at least demi)
Bestie I’d just like to say AAAAAAAAAA
Sorry, but I just got SO excited when I saw someone submitting headcanons! It’s been way too long since I’ve been able to have a good ol’ Zootopia discussion. Oh and I’ll certainly check out your fics! My user is Pixarpnflover so be on the look out for some kudos!✨
Anyway, I love the idea of Nick being raised by two moms! There was supposed to be a plotline about his dad—John Wilde, I believe was his name—but got scrapped along with a lot of other content. So until it’s actually mentioned in canon I’m choosing to believe his mom in the flashback was in fact a raging lesbian lmao🤷‍♀️ also would that make him a double mama’s boy?🤔
Ooo an herbivore converting to a meat diet? How intriguing! I like to think now that she lives in the city that Judy would be open to trying new foods, which would include poultry and fish. I can see her favoring sushi or even turkey.
Nick being openly affectionate after meeting Judy, and reserving most of that said affection for her? Hell yeah. He’s very unapologetic about it too. He’s waited far too long to share that amount of vulnerability and comfort with someone. No way he’s ever going to hold back🫂
Autistic Judy my beloved🙌🏻 You cannot convince me she’s even a little bit neurotypical, I will not believe you lol. I love that her natural rabbit behavior could actually be interpreted as stimming!
Dude, I have believed this headcanon for so long!! The second I found out their age difference, I just knew there had to be some kind of coincidence going on there. I mean, Nick could’ve just said “when I was a kid” when beginning the story, but instead he specified his age (or an estimate, at least) and I think that a choice on the writers’ part. Anyway, I’m a big believer in fate/soulmates, so even just the idea of Judy being born, destined to cross paths with Nick someday to heal his childhood trauma and make his life better, just melts my heart❤️😭
Haha yeah, you can tell the concert at the credits that Nick was only there for Judy😆 Not to say he wasn’t enjoying himself, he just wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic as everyone else. But ya know, the things ya do for your girlfriend!😋 I can also imagine Judy listening to music she doesn’t necessarily enjoy either. A certain loud rock song starts playing on the radio and before she can even think about changing the station, Nick goes “oh I like this one!” And so she smiles and suffers through it. She may even end up liking it anyway!😌
As for this last one, I kinda have to disagree. Not to say she isn’t ace or demi, and no hate to anyone who shares this opinion! But idk, to me I don’t think someone not wanting to see a bunch of people walking around ass-naked makes them ace or a prude (which I’ve seen some fanfics try to claim her to be?) I mean, I’m horny asf and I’d be just as uncomfortable walking around a nudist club😆😅
…I never thought I’d type a sentence like that lol
Anyway, thanks for sharing these! I sure hope the fandom comes back someday, but in the meantime I’ll be here waiting and open to exchanging more headcanons! :3
