#tbh the only time i can really think of him being a leader rather than a right hand is in the empires crossover

[light-glue-blazed-terracotta]

just watched gems latest episode and theres something about how bdubs is like. yes i killed the dragon for you. i killed it for you gem. for you. i assume it was his task bc he was rly pushing for her to go kill it but tbh theres something about how he's latched on to gem opening the portal and instantly being like ah, finally, a leader. someone i can pledge myself to. he was kind of angling for mumbo to be his new kingmayor but mumbo isnt really like that so gem opening the portal was a relief. finally a king to follow. and he just goes when she tells him to and basks when she praises him for doing it. the guy really just cannot cope without having someone take charge of him huh. he needs a figure to swear his undying loyalty to (other than etho ofc. thats a whole other thing) and if he doesnt have one he will make one. and in this session he had the opportunity to be the hero and become a leader himself and he was like no actually im going to kill the dragon for gem. ill join her army and fight for her. because he doesnt know how to do things for himself he HAS to be an underling. he doesnt know how to be anything other than a loyal dog i guess. god.

#secret life spoilers #bdubs #bdoubleo100 #geminitay #im kidding but im also not kidding #tbh the only time i can really think of him being a leader rather than a right hand is in the empires crossover #which is like. something interesting to consider #maybe in another universe bdubs is the hero instead of the heel. maybe being on empires tapped into that a little bit. #maybe its just our bdubs that has a bad case of right hand arm man silly rabbit disease.

What do u think about enha's ideal age gap??

this is just my opinion !!! i don’t know if they’ve ever spoken about this and even if they have, it’s never set in stone 🤍

𓆉 heeseung: 1998-2003

i think heeseung is the type of guy to think he wants someone who is younger but then actually fall for someone older tbh… it would probably be quite refreshing for him to be able to spend time with someone older than him for once, so he can feel like he’s achieved something when he shows off his mature side, rather than having to be that character all the time.

other members under cut

𓆉 jay: 2001-2004

i don’t think jay would actually care about age honestly, as long as the person has goals and a similar outlook on life, then he’s happy. with that in mind, at 20/21, i think someone of a similar age to him might get along better with him than having a hugeee age gap, but it really doesn’t matter to him.

𓆉 jake: 2003-2004

i think jake would feel more comfortable with a younger partner, one that he can learn with and grow with. he loves watching his partner flourish and grow with his own advice and wisdom in mind. he likes being relied on and like he can help his partner out by sharing his own life experiences.

𓆉 sunghoon: 1999-2002

at the moment, prefers older tbh. he doesn’t make them a parental figure but he does love being babied and looked after to a certain extent. maturity is important to him and those younger than him may not have the same level of maturity as him, so he would shy away from even wanting to find out because he wouldn’t want to get hurt.

𓆉 sunoo: 2002-2003

he’d prefer someone his age, they’re more likely to understand his jokes/references and enjoy the same things as him, but over time i think that would become more flexible to the point where he wouldn’t care about any age gap as long as he still felt there was balance.

𓆉 jungwon: 2003-2005

around the same age, maybe a little older, for now. he doesn’t want too big of an age gap (especially with someone younger) because of maturity and life experience. i know most of his group is older than him and he’s still a powerful leader, but in a relationship, it could be difficult to maintain such balance with someone older.

𓆉 ni-ki: 2004-2005

uncomfortable with anyone that isn’t his age at the moment. the dynamic would be off if he was with someone younger, definitely an imbalance of power, but this only applies while he’s young. as he gets older, it could change. as for someone older, he’d probably feel pressured to act a certain way at the moment, but again when he’s older things could change!

Tim x Darry headconnons plz (like if they can get married or what is it like if they have an adopted child) SORRY TO ASK SO MUCH I just love this ship and its really my favorite one

THANK YOU🙏🏻

Omg tarry is my favorite pairing, I have made these little ship headcanons as well (tarry hcs)

BUT onto these ones

They mostly bond over being both the leaders of their respective gangs and over taking care of their younger siblings ❤️

They are terrible with emotions, communication between them is like pulling teeth 😭

They also have a hard time with each others siblings. Darry CANT STAND curly and is scared of Angela. Tim gets along with both pony and soda but anytime he gets them into trouble darry gets mad at him.

He’s really rather not piss his beau off

They’ve known each other since they were kids (thanks to living in the same area) but were never friends. It was only really after Darry got more involved in greaser stuff that they got along lol

Tim can’t cook for shit. He tries but it sucks so bad. Darry keeps trying to help him but Tim is unhelpable.

Darry is aware that Tim can handle himself, but still gets protective when ppl talk about him. Tim gets mad every time (but also does the same thing)

And omg I’m all the way into this list realizing that I did not answer the other part of the question so I’ll do that now

So for marriage (not legal for homos in the 60s sadly, so I’m sure it’s just a celebration among friends and family) it probably takes them awhile. I can’t imagine either of them really wanting to settle straight away. Maybe they’re in their late twenties/early thirties

Tim probably moves into Darry’s house after pony and soda move out (and after angie and curly are well off enough to be alone)

Tim probably stops gang life in his twenties, just because he gets older and more mature (and not cool anymore) darry stops once the others stop.

For the wedding, again, family and friends. Probably in the form of a cookout at their house. They get rings but I don’t think either of them wear them (they don’t seem like jewellry wearers. They probably keep them on chains around their necks)

Pony officiates lol. Idk I just feel like he would. Soda cries the whole time (Steve has to physically pull him off of darry)

I imagine dally and curly pulling some sort of nonsense at the wedding to piss Tim off (yes I’m choosing to keep dally and Johnny alive)

Tim’s gang isn’t really his family, at this point in his life, he probably doesn’t even know them anymore. So it’s just curly and Angela at the wedding for him.

Darry ofc is the one that people came to see (mr star of the show)

As for a kid, I’d like to say they probably wouldn’t have one, at least not for a while. They both raised their little siblings, they aren’t eager to do it again.

BUT it’s also cute to imagine them having a baby (especially because of how tim is canonically good with babies)

Idk where they got it. Maybe it was left in their doorstep, idk. Fact is, they have a child

Tim wants to be the cool dad but darry has taken that spot without even trying.

Baby adores darry because he’s strong and can throw it in the air ❤️

Tim is jealous ofc. He’s way cooler than darry, the baby just isn’t smart enough to see that yet

Baby still loves him a lot though 🌸

They’re good dads. Not perfect ofc, but they love the baby and the baby loves them.

Now as for the baby’s one million uncles and one aunt.

Angela LOVES the baby. Like, darry is worried she will steal it. She’s always trying to get the baby to say her name (baby calls her “Ana”)

Twobit is next on people taht are obsessed with the baby. I’m sure he has his own kids (seems like the type tbh) but the baby is DARRYS kid. He can’t wait until it’s old enough to be a bad influence on

Dallas is not allowed near the baby because Tim refuses to put the baby down when he’s around (he thinks dally will somehow corrupt his >1 year old and make it dally jr)

Soda is the best uncle by far. He and Johnny are very soft with the baby. Soda is, however, guilty of dropping the baby. He is no longer allowed to hold the baby.

Johnny is scared to hold the baby, but once it’s walking he will play (very gently)

Steve, curly, and pony are the babies worst enemies. Baby fucking hates them so much and it breaks their hearts.

Baby bites steve any chance it gets. Hits him, grabs his nose (which everyone else thinks is adorable but Steve sees it for the attack that it is) Steve has no clue what he did but the baby is his #1 hater

Baby doesn’t like pony. Wont even look at him. Pony adores the baby and this rejection hurts.

Curly and the baby tussle quite often. Baby loves yanking his curls (getting its grubbing fingers tangled in, as someone with baby experience, ow ow ow) if the baby pulls his hair, he pulls the baby’s hair right back. They are sworn enemies.

He loves the baby ofc but keeps a careful distance.

Baby grows up to be an okay kid. Can’t do anything without darry or tim finding out since they both know EVERYONE.

Idk someone name the baby my brain is mush

[randomnameless]

Something that really bothers me about the rose coloured glasses vis a vis tellius and fe fans (ESPECIALLY from 3h fans who learned about tellius later) is that many like soren purely because of his main ship (i mean i like ikesoren too but come the fuck on) and jokingly characterise soren as a stereotypical nasty mean limp wristed sarcastic gay man instead of a deeply flawed branded angry at the world and definitely trauma bonded to ike, but micaiah is still absolutely getting raked over the coals over the blood pact and not being ike’s fangirl

Well,

Jokes often involve flanderisation, so Soren being flanderised to oblivion when people joke about him isn't something I really care about, but maybe that's because I'm not really fond of Soren to begin with lol

What annoys me more is when some people try to rationalise Soren's anger and backstory by either pointing at Almedha or Deghinsea being responsible for everything, and I'm like, what.the.fuck?

Almedha's just, idk, I won't call it sexism, but damn - that woman loves her son who is the only reason why she hasn't completely lost her mind over 1/losing her powers 2/being casted away like trash by her "BF" 3/being rejected by her dad 4/thinking her brother was tortured and abused to death because of her actions 5/being separated from her beloved child.

Deghinsea being "uwu bad bcs he's the reason why brandeds are rejected by both beorcs and laguz" is another take I really am not fond of, and iirc I wrote a post earlier this year about it? But to some people who buy the "Crusts BaD" as the reason why Fodlan sucks, I guess they need to have someone to name and pill all of the world's nonsense rather than, well, in Tellius' case, realise that the worldbulding and the lore really sucks, to the point where the duology touted as the most "against racism" of the franchise, is pretty much way more racist than anything Tru Piss can throw us (yes, because in Tru Piss we have characters rejecting coexistence, in Tellius, it's the world mechanics - whenever a Beorc and a Laguz coexist too much, the Laguz dies...).

As for Miccy,

Just like, imo, Soren gains some "new" attention and "uwu excuses for why he's being a snarky jerk at times", Miccy used to be bashed when FE10 was released (with all the Mary Sue accusation being thrown around!) because she was written to be a sort of foil/antagonist to Ike, and when the party reunited, she was demoted to a "soul-jar" role, let it be regarding the greater plot, or, even, her own backstory!

TBH, for people who didn't play FE10, if Ike is the bestest thing since melted cheese, Miccy, who opposes him, must be BaD and so you can pile everything you don't like on her, hoping to see it stick.

Or even worse, I've seen posts here and there comparing Miccy to Supreme Leader and how misunderstood uwu she is, which is the worst insult poor Miccy ever received since FE10 came out rofl

#2goldensnitches #do you want to kill me friend lol #once upon a time discussions about soren and miccy were very animated lol #anyways i still don't like how some part of the fandom tries to uwu him #he is a character with flaws that sure are never called out in the game and by the main character but #they exist #and to uwu them away is imo a disservice and not a good reading on him #'but his backstory sad uwus' Sephiran also has a crapton of sad uwus for his backstory #and yet the game chews him out about his plans to destroy the world because hey fuck off #it's not fair to condemn the world and everyone who lives in it for your suffering #It's sort of hilarious because sometimes I wonder if Miccy wasn't also written as a Soren foil #Miccy is the one who doesn't like when Beorc call Laguz names #she lives in racist land and knows she has to hide else she'll die too #but she still came to care about the people who live here #she gets to talk to Vika who feels weirded out by her being a branded and yet they agree to continue talking/being friends despite it #Miccy never insults Rafiel calling him a half beast #Soren follows Ike and his lead but Miccy has to take the lead despite wanting to follow Pelleas at first #tfw we know more about Soren's backstory even after being kicked away from Daein than Miccy's lol #granted I loved what FE10 with Almedha when you see that some of his worst traits/flaws are actually shared by his mom lol #tl;dr : a Soren raised by his mom would have been even more of a jerk than the one we got #i have a lot of feelings about how Miccy was treated in FE10 which in turn sort of explains the vitriol she received from the fandom #but that's for another post lol else it'll be too long #basically FE10 is more Ike v.2 than a game where Miccy is the Lord

[thatswhatsushesaid]

nice! i will say, i have only seen the show so my opinions are based on that

okay so first off, i agree with you that both the usually portrayed versions of Niè Huáisāng aren't accurate. he's not helpless (though he certainly can seem so at points, i.e. when he and Wangxian are trapped in the cave with the stone fairy) but he's not a strategic mastermind either.

Niè Huáisāng, to me, comes off as impulsive and clever. he thinks quick, and in his younger years, he uses that mainly to avoid the things he has no interest in doing (cultivating, using his sabre- can't say i really blame him for that, given what Niè's usually end up succumbing to). in later years, he's surrounded by a bunch of things he never wanted to do (running the sect, being a leader in general, and paperwork), and he's still trying to avoid those things (playing dumber than he is, whining to Jīn Guāngyáo and Lán Xīchén because he knows they'll dote on him).

and i think, at least in part, avenging his brother is more impulsive than anything else and may not have, entirely, been something he wanted to do. the revenge, in the end, exposed a lot of Jīn Guāngyáo's secrets to several people, and i think Niè Huáisāng just kind of hoped one of them would be angry enough to kill Jīn Guāngyáo (or maybe that his brother’s fierce corpse would) and i really think, in that last moment, when he realized he went to all of this trouble and Jīn Guāngyáo wasn't going to die, he panicked and made someone else take care of the problem. but i also think, up until that moment, Niè Huáisāng was on the fence about killing Jīn Guāngyáo.

Niè Huáisāng wasn't shown to be a violent person in the show. he liked to catch birds, paint fans, and collect erotic novels. but, i can't believe he lost all attachment to Jīn Guāngyáo if it took him that long to actually get him killed. Huáisāng, like i said, is impulsive and even the smartest guy in the room (which, i say this with love, he is not) would have snapped, right then and there, and turned it into a fight. but he didn't. he dug into all of Jīn Guāngyáo's secrets and, yeah, he eventually exposed them, but i think part of him was looking for a reason; either a way to excuse or condemn Jīn Guāngyáo, something that would push him to one side of the fence or the other. and the other part of him was stalling and avoiding the problem until he absolutely couldn't.

sorry for the text wall. Niè Huáisāng is my favorite out of the show so i have a lot of feelings about him

oh these thoughts are so delightfully crunchy, and I think I largely agree with them, to a point. I know I mentioned somewhere else recently (at least, I think I mentioned it on tumblr, tho tbh it might've been through a discord conversation) that rather like nmj, jgy spends an awful lot of his time in the story un-murdered for someone whose opponent's intention was always to murder him. for nmj, I think he lives for as long as he does because jgy genuinely does not want to kill him despite multiple attempts on his life and enduring increasing pressure from his father to make it happen--up until nmj punts him down the jinlintai steps and humiliates him/his mother in front of the entire lanling jin sect.

(pausing here just to say: I am so sick and tired of the comments by the antis on this point that jgy did not deserve to seek any kind of retribution or vengeance in the face of this insult. like is it only fine when the gentry resort to violence to satisfy insults to their honour? anyway)

so, yes, I think I vibe with your point wrt nhs and his revenge quest! not only because I also agree that he just could not, and did not want to decide what to do, but because yes, he absolutely did care about jgy! I think those feelings are especially clear in cql given how the drama reshapes the relationship that jgy-as-meng yao has to the qinghe nie. he is nhs's body guard and protector (and, uh, babysitter), and I often think of that glimpse we are given of nhs anxiously pacing outside the throne room while nmj aggressively interrogates freshly-stabbed (to protect!! nmj!!) meng yao after wen chao's assault on the unclean realm:

this 👆👆👆is not the behaviour of a little guy who is ambivalent or otherwise emotionally uninvested in the outcome of this interrogation. he is fretting! he is worried! and then afterwards when meng yao has been ousted from the nie, huaisang is the one who sweeps up to him to try to support his shoulders. because meng yao is still, you know, freshly stabbed by wen zhuliu in this moment. (you're welcome, da-ge. thanks for the banishment. could he have a bandaid maybe--no? no ok that's fine)

ultimately, tho, even if he waffles and can't make up his mind for over a decade, I do think nhs does want to kill jgy when he finally succeeds in doing it. and maybe he tells himself that he is doing it to avenge nmj, rather than for even more personal reasons (e.g., 'san-ge murdered da-ge, but he betrayed me') but let's be real, we will never know. whatever interiority nhs has, either in the novel or in the drama, remains hidden from the reader/viewer, and all we have to go on is the framing provided to us by the camera lens, and by what wwx shows us in the text.

and in cql, this is that glimpse we get of nhs's face right before he tricks lxc into stabbing jgy:

(sorry you get my meme, I couldn't find my original screenshot womp womp)

anyway, that's the glower of a little guy who has decided he is definitely gonna do a murder.

#asks answered #thank u for sharing all of your thoughts #I enjoy them so very very much!! #mdzs meta #nie huaisang #let him have birds!! 🕊️

[fuck-customers]

More of a fuck coworkers/leaders. The other day I was in the stockroom part of my store, on top of a ladder with hands full of product. Someone on our walkie talkie calls for me, saying there’s a customer in my dept that needs my help. Naturally I have to drop everything to go help- and since a coworker had to call for my help, I’m guessing it’s something only I can help with.

Wrong. I finally find the customer and he’s like “do you guys carry this brand?” And I’m just like are you fucking kidding me I dropped everything for THIS? So I ask the guy what the first employee did and he’s like “yeah he didn’t really try to help me he just said someone else would come.” So I finish helping this guy, but afterward I’m pissed bc these are the type of questions EVERYONE should eb able to answer. We literally carry around little cell phones to look up this kind of shit. It would’ve taken that coworker maybe a MINUTE of his time, at the most, to help that customer but no instead he made me drop everything I was doing to answer the most simple fucking question. And this happens all the time, and after this one I was fed up, so I get on my walkie talkie, and mind you I was not ugly or rude or anything, I literally just said “hey guys if a customer has a simple question that can be answered with your device, pls try to help them before you call for backup bc it’s not always easy to drop everything you’re doing.” Bc not only are you wasting my time, but the customers time too. You’d think the leaders would back me up on this, because we’re constantly lectured on how we need to do anything and everything for the customer, but nope! Instead, my boss (he’s cool, the only cool one tbh) tells me that THREE different leaders came to him to complain about that comment I made. Which is insane bc that day I made the comment on the walkie, I had several coworkers AND a leader tell me they liked what I said bc the exact same shit happens to them too and it gets rly fucking old. You expect customers to waste your time with dumb shit, but not your coworkers. But yeah apparently those leaders thought I was way out of line or summ which in retrospect I can agree that it wasn’t rly my place to bring it up, but the issue i raised was important nonetheless and clearly not just to me. But no we’d rather focus on being petty and cliquish than actually addressing this problem, bc how dare that lowly employee criticize my leadership, even in the most indirect way... idk I just really hate all the leaders at my store (besides mine) bc all they do is complain and talk shit about my dept, and not just me specifically. One complaint was that we didn’t look like we were working hard enough (even tho we consistently meet all goals and quotas), and ofc my boss is just like “I’m sorry my workers aren’t constantly stressed out and running around like headless chickens…?” And I’m also pretty certain this is all just bc our dept is (and has been for some time) wiping the floor with all the others. We have the highest sales while everyone else is leagues behind on goals, AND the other depts are having hella turnover bc, guess what, EVERYONE HATES THESE PETTY CHILDISH ASS LEADERS

[ne0nwithazero]

In the Deltafell AU, Are Host and Mike a couple while having Tenna and everything?

omg the Fell AU... Literally, my friends and I were literally talking about it just days ago LOL And then I briefly spoke about it in another Deltarune AU server... Is the call coming from inside the house or is this Ask a coincidence?

But I haven't worked on my take of it ever since I made Tenna, so it still only includes Mike and Host and no one else hahaha

Though I have been quietly rotating the idea of a Fell Klieg lately, but this isn't about him

For a recap of where I last left in my Fell take... Watch out I'm about to jumpscare people with the old art so I'll hide it under the Read More.

Content Warning, it's old art where Mike looks skinny, though in the context of this AU, that would actually make sense... hm

Also warning for the edginess that's expected of Fell AUs tbh :'D I like horror stuff... And weird robot gore

old art old art ew scroll up ew aNYWAY

Uhh geez yeah Host never even got a finished Fell design, I wanted them to look a lot more femme than vanilla Host but I never truly found a proper direction for it

Mike is Mike, he's still tiny, and I couldn't get him not to wear pink so he settled on a fashionable hot pink instead, but that's beside the point

Recap of these two is that their meeting and backstory might have started the same as their vanilla counterparts. But the difference is that rather than Mike staying a broken mic with a broken body that didn't work, they uh... Found an alternative solution.

All the Microphone Darkners are detachable from their bodies, so Host being the silent terrifying behemoth they are, took matters into their own hands. Mics are such a common darkner type, who would notice if a few of them were to start going missing?

When his body was to start giving out, Mike would gladly use himself to lure his fellow mics to Host, posing as a helpless Microphone being chased, only to watch as his loving spouse would… What's a nice family-friendly way to describe the act of forcefully ripping those mics off of their bodies and killing them? Hands that hold Mike with such care, just as easily crushing those like him… All so he can get a new functioning body to hold them with…

Truly, is this not what love is? I feel like no matter the AU, M&H will always be a couple, no matter what… I feel they'd find each other in every universe...

Characterization-wise, they're both a lot more villainous, naturally, neither hold any remorse for the lives taken so that Mike can continue to pilot bodies that simply do not belong to him…

Somehow the knowledge that Host can very easily kill him is not lost on him, if anything, I think he finds that to me the most compelling part of it all… Host on the other hand, too loves their wonderful husband… And much like their vanilla counterpart… They will not hesitate if someone dares lay a hand on him… They simply have little care for morals in the Fell AU

The overall lore of their vanilla counterparts has evolved a lot since I last worked on the Fell AU, not to mention all the adjustments that had to take place when Tenna was added to the timeline and a lot of things had to be shifted around… They went from "Just some guys" to "Dark World leaders" so that's ever so slightly different

I did not consider how Tenna would function in this AU, or if he's even viable at all LOL I don't really have a Cable AU Fell Spamton to work off of, since his presence does end up defining how Tenna feels about Mike and his own presence in the world.

But at the same time, imagining M&H as that trope of the evil villains that are just the nicest parents ever is very fun to imagine hehehe

Vanilla Tenna is a bit wimpy no matter how tough they try to seem, and I image Fell Tenna being a bit more assertive or even hostile hehe

I feel like they'd either be super chill about their parents' habit of just killing mics (And using their power as Dark World Leaders for other purposes) and not care, or they're actively against it… I'm inclined to believe the latter since Tenna's thing is also being an awkward opposite of his parents, but him being against their villain acts also makes me wonder about how M&H would feel in this AU. I can't imagine them resenting their own kid, even as edgy villainous versions of themselves…

I'm also unsure of how/if the Flower Shop Tenna storyline is even a thing in this version of the AU or not. Tenna's disappearance affected the vanilla universe so much, and I feel like Fell M&H with a missing kid would very much go on a killing spree to find him LOL

I don't know! These are just random brainstormings and what ifs… Maybe if I ever feel inclined to do anything with this AU again, I'll try to concept a Fell Tenna hehehe

#Jay Asks #Anonymous #Mike #Host #Tenna #Fell AU #I need to find the old AU art and tag it with Fell AU #They're so buried back and I do NOT have the patience to go look for them hahahah #Sorry I can't keep things short #It's been a while since I properly discussed this AU #But I like the concept of the weird murder duo hehehe #And Mike is just destined to have parasite metaphors on him so I think this fits

Fluff Alphabet - Manjiro “Mikey” Sano

Happy Monday! Heres some Mikey fluff to start the week :)

Fandom: Tokyo Revengers Letters: M, I, K, E, Y Warnings: None, Fluff

Enjoy ~

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

He never thought about it –especially being the leader of Bonten

When he met you he kept the idea of marriage to a minimum in his mind but the longer you’re together the more he could see himself marrying you

He would propose very low key

Probably when you are at his/yours/your shared apartment

He would bring it up really nonchalantly tbh

“Do you want to be my partner? As in my wife/husband?”

“I want you in my life forever. I can’t imagine it without you.”

Marriage with Mikey would be sweet and a bit tricky cuz he may be gone a lot

I nspired - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helping them overcome personal problems?

Mikey’s s/o helped him somewhat cope with his dark impulses

They didn’t “fix” him, more so helped him find ways to reel it in when needed

I do think if Mikey is to open up to anyone it is his s/o —but only if the relationship is very serious and that trust has been built

I believe when Mikey is in a serious relationship he finds himself wanting to be better and more playful but mostly when alone

The gang will be gobsmacked if/when they see Mikey’s s/o bring out those buried deep parts of him

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

He’s good but not super experienced

Your first kiss was quick but purposeful —Almost nonchalant

He more less just pulled you in and got it over with bc he liked you and felt showing you could be easier than saying it

It most likely happened in his office

Your first kiss was stunning but very welcomed and after words you shared a few more kisses till you heard someone coming

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

I think you’d think he’d be very dominant but i think Mikey has a bit of a passive streak in your relationship

Obviously when it’s needed he’ll get very serious

But Mikey doesn’t hover and isn’t controlling when it’s not necessary

However I do think that it could take time to build to that / there will be ups and down in this aspect in your relationship

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

Mikey seems like pretty indifferent when he’s gone from home / from you for work

But since being with you he’s gotten used to cuddles and the softer comforts in life

So if he’s gone for more than 3-5 days he starts to really miss you

He may seem colder I guess and a bit irritable to his fellow gang members

He’s not a huge texter but if you text him he’ll answer every one –when he really misses you tho he will start conversations / update you

Although he may not say it, he really enjoys a phone call at the end of the day when you two can and have time to talk about your day and hear your voice

Send him voice messages if you can, he loves hearing your voice throughout his day

And on more than one occasion he’s fallen asleep on a call listening to you

Hope you liked that! Feedback & Interaction is always appreciated :3

💛 ~

[tonberry-yoda]

Hello again. It’s me 🌻 how are you? How is your weekend going?

I‘d really cuddle up with Yaku Morisuke rn. Could you do the fluff alphabet with him for AFTERCARE? I think he deserves being taken care of, after being a Mom for everyone all the time.

oh my goodness hello sunflower anon! my weekend is going great! i hope yours is good as well! this is a super cute idea! i really hope i did it well, i dont know all that much about Yaku so i had to do some refreshing lmao. i wanted to write this last night when you submitted it but i was just getting into bed, so that's my bad lol. hope you enjoy lovely!! <3333

Fluff Alphabet with Yaku (A F T E R C A R E)

Pairing - Yaku x reader

Warnings - none!

Notes - thank you so much 🌻 anon!!! i love your little ideas and i love a good fluff alphabet to get me motivated to write! i hope you enjoy this and have a lovely day!!! <3

And don’t forget REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!! So, if you want to request any writing, don’t hesitate to ask. Please read my pinned post before requesting though. Have a good day/night and please stay hydrated!! <333

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

he would love it when you come to practice and he would try to do the same for activities you love

study time is a must for you too so you would always choose somewhere like a cafe or a bookstore or even just an empty field

he likes to have as much alone time with you as possible, so it's always little remote areas to hang out with him at

also i just think he would love hand holding, so expect that anytime you hang out or go on a date

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

communication is key for this sweetheart

if you too ever fight, he would distance himself from you for a while just to get his thoughts in place

once you're both ready, you talk

he would forgive you pretty easily unless the argument was bad

but other than that, he would just understand your side of the argument and then let you listen to his, just communicating how you both feel

even if he doesnt agree with your side doesnt mean that he wont listen to you or forgive you, you just might have to take the time to understand each other better

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

he is a busy student and so are you

he loves a good routine

until summertime

when its summer, yall will try out some crazy fun stuff

going to places and riding rollercoasters, eating new food, going to Tokyo, etc

during the school year though, he needs a routine, not only for volleyball but for school as well

expect a lot of study dates and nothing too crazy until your next vacation from school

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

i dont know tbh

i think it switches

i think you're both pretty equal thinking for ones self, but also worrying about each other

you both take time to plan dates and whenever it comes to paying, you usually split the bill

i dont think one is more dominant over the other, but i do think he gets worried about you often, so sometimes he'll take that leader momma role when he is worried about you lol

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

he is super romantic

he loves kisses and hand holding and CUDDLES

this man is all over cuddles

i think he can be pretty cliche buying you flowers and dinner and a stuffy

he loves to do whatever he can to make you happy, buying your favorite snack or something that you liked in a store, but didnt buy for yourself

also if you visit him during practice he will randomly run up to you halfway through and smother you with kisses before continuing practice

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

this man will bring you whatever you need

water, a stuffed animal, some food, a backrub, whatever you need, he's got it

if you call him in a panicked state he will slow you down telling you to breathe and then ask what you need, bringing it to you in 15 minutes or less

if you're crying, he will let you sink into his arms and he will whisper sweet nothings into your ears until you are ready to talk

he will never rush you when you are in this sort of state, that would just make things worse

he will wait until you are ready and in the meantime try to get you to drink some water

will usually let you talk it out over some cuddles

[tolkien-feels]

Tbh, I just feel like it’s important, that with Elros to emphasize his like mannish-ness and his mannish ancestry, because not only does his choice to be human shows that in some way we can assume that is what he connected more with, just like…frankly? It’s his human ancestry that lends him and his ancestors legitimacy to being kings of the edain/dunedain as he would technically have been born from all three groups. Taking the mannish out of Elros, is really weird to me, like that’s not to say he doesn’t like acknowledge his elvish roots, I just think it’s probably like…more impactful to empathize Elros as a Mortal Man than as a Half Elf since, unlike Elrond, he seemed to have committed to a human persona rather than a half elves one which makes sense considering like, the idea of like, once your mortal, that’s it. You’ve chosen. You have to commit.

Idk, I just really like a much more mannish elros, like he seemingly choose to be mortal bc he wanted too not out of love or duty so like, I feel like it’s nice to have someone want to be human, and it also makes how much later numenoreans didn’t want to be human even sadder? 

That makes sense and is very valid!

I........ ended up writing a fairly long post about this, so here it is under a cut. The tl;dr though is that I agree with you on some points but would like to push back a little on some others.

Personally, I tend to go with Elros, like Elrond, being Very Much Elros Peredhel. Granted, this is probably just me projecting - my family is from China but I'm not, so I tend to want to latch on to characters who have mixed heritage and refuse to pick a side. Which does not mean being "kinda like an elf." It means being something else altogether.

(As a side rant, my blood boils when people take characters like Elrond or Arwen and do math to figure out what race they "really" are. Genealogical math can be fun, but it's irrelevant in terms of how characters identify. People don't... measure parts of their identity to fit their dna. I know that's not what you're doing, anon, I'm just ranting because it's relevant to how I approach the twins.)

Having said all this, I feel like Elros made his choice for a reason. If I had to pick someone (other than Elrond) to compare him to, then maybe I'd go with Aragorn? Aragorn is equally comfortable speaking of himself as one of Elrond's race and as a mortal man. That's how I imagine Elros - holding overlapping identities and seeing no contradiction in that.

Now, of course, he chooses to be one of the Edain, and he's surrounded by them all the time, he's their leader. I very much think being immersed in a culture he already identified with to begin with would very naturally lead to Elros becoming much more Mannish than Elrond is. So in that sense, I definitely agree with you, Elros is much more of a Man than Elrond.

But I also think Elros chose "to abide with Men" and Elrond chose to "be numbered among the Eldar" - I don't think either of them becomes one single race. The way I headcanon it (and again, I'm sure this is me bringing my personal life into the text), they chose whose fate they wanted to share. But they grew up to adulthood being peredhil, and I headcanon they don't really want to be anything besides that, that's who they are. Their choices are extremely important, of course, but I really like to headcanon that it doesn't flip a switch that changes their identity in any way (though of course it informs their choices going forward, which in turn impacts them, but that's just how life works for everyone.)

...unless it's really tragic or really funny in which case I'm ready to throw this under the bus and oversimplify this very nuanced issue, because that's the kind of person I am.

As much as I'd love to see Squirrelflight become leader, I really do feel like the end of Shadow was meant to be a red herring. And there's two main reasons why:

The last time we had a cat travel to the Moonpool to receive her 9 lives from StarClan, she was promptly murdered by a group of dogs. Being that the dogs were never tracked down, and that Curlfeather and Frostpaw were attacked not too soon after they had passed the WindClan-ThunderClan border, it's very likely that these same dogs may pose a problem for Squirrelflight. Especially since she will have to travel in that same direction.

2. If Squirrelflight becomes leader, it's almost guaranteed that she will make Lionblaze her deputy, since she appointed him as deputy during the events of the previous arc. Making this aunt-nephew duo the two leading cats of ThunderClan makes the entire nepotism conflict we saw during Nightheart's apprenticeship irrelevant within the text.

I actually do remain optimistic tbh and do have some counterpoints here which I’ve been considering

1. The medicine cats have been going to the Moonpool frequently without issue before and after Curlfeather’s demise. Also Squirrelflight, Bramblestar, and Jayfeather will be coming the opposite direction than RiverClan to the Moonpool, going through their wooded territory rather than open moor. Granted if these are the same dogs which attacked Sparkpelt then ThunderClan territory would already be known to the dogs. But even so if Jayfeather is with them he could probably give a more advanced warning about the dog’s incoming approach as well, enough for the party to get up a tree like Frostpaw did. But like I say given how the other Moonpool trips have been without issue, I can only hope Squirrelflight will be ok, especially if the dogs were brought to the moor especially just to kill Curlfeather by a malicious cat. So I would personally say a dog attack on Squirrelflight is unlikely, but we also have to bear in mind how biased the Erins are against Squirrelflight which could definitely sway in the whole “she gets attacked by dogs or doesn’t get lives for another reason” territory.

2. I’ve seen people say this about Lionblaze quite a bit but personally I don’t see that happening after the broken code. Lionblaze was so bad as leader that old man Graystripe was begged to take over. He was acknowledged as bad by the text and willingly took a step back and let Graystripe lead, and recognised how his anger issues made him unsuitable to lead. I think the main reason Squirrelflight selected him was because he was a senior warrior and someone she personally values and trusts that was part of the rebel group alongside her. Squirrelflight had the very real possibility on her hands that some of her clanmates could have broken away and still followed Ashfur and she needed someone by her side that she could be sure wouldn’t do that. Given how his time as leader ended I doubt he would be appointed deputy a second time, Squirrelflight was undoubtedly briefed on what had happened once she got back.

Hi yes atla au yes. Here's the thing. Yes I wanna know more Abt your au (and I might send in more asks Abt it after this) but uhhh I wanna know thoughts on who would/could be a part of the kyoshi warriors 👀👀 like in or outside of your au bc like technically they're non-bending women warriors in canon but also you can mess with it a little bc creative liberties of aus.... 👀👀 I just love them a lot (I adore Suki so much yk)

(atla/stranger things asks!)

if nobody else got me i know that toy's ALWAYS got me tbh <3 <3

*cracks knuckles* alright, so. i am pulling this out of thin air toy. i need you to know this. everything that is being written right now is being thought of as i go, so if i contradict myself lol... but here we go! let's talk about the kyoshi warriors!

i think the kyoshi warriors, as an entity, would unfortunately become a relic of the past. like with the way that bending and inventions both evolve even just by LoK? yeah, i think the hand to hand combat of the kyoshi warriors probably becomes something that is more just studied as maybe like some sort of martial art? and then their rich history of obviously being formed by kyoshi and then also having suki, who played a key role in ending the 100 year war, be one of the most famous leaders of the kyoshi warriors.

BUT. here is where my brain immediately went after that.

i've talked a little bit before about how i think jonathan would dislike his bending because of the abuse that he was subjected to during training with lonnie. lonnie sucked all the joy and freedom of airbending out of it, and while jonathan is an airbending master, he doesn't really enjoy it. the only time he does enjoy it is when he gets to teach his little brother, who absolutely loves airbending!

so i like to think that alternatively then, jonathan pursues other interests. we know he loves music and he loves reading, and i think in this world, we know there are lots of threats in the avatar universe, so jonathan would probably wanna look for an alternative form of combat skills (even before will's kidnapping and everything). so, he's studying combat styles in the library, and he begins to learn about the kyoshi warriors and their rich history. and yes, the kyoshi warriors began as a group of women warriors, but obviously we see that sokka joined and was able to learn from them and let's be fr for a second in that jonathan byers is the definition of "fuck gender norms"

so, imagine jonathan just saves any extra money he can to buy himself replicable fans to learn how to fight with. and when joyce and will are asleep, he goes out to their backyard, and he begins to practice. and sometimes, he'll use his airbending, because initially it does help with getting the movements down and with the fluidity that it takes to use the fans and to fight with them, but eventually he stops using his airbending as that crutch and just fights with the fans. he wants to be independent of his bending. he doesn't want to have to rely on it, the way lonnie always drilled into him. and yeah, there's a part of him that wants to prove lonnie wrong and show him that jonathan doesn't need his bending. he doesn't have to like it or use it or anything.

we meet jonathan in book one, and he and will are the reverse parallel of nancy and mike. with nancy and mike, we see the elder sibling being the one who loves and excels at her bending, while the younger sibling has a difficult relationship with it. with jonathan and will, we see the elder sibling having a difficult relationship and even refusing to use his bending except in certain cases, while the younger sibling (initially) loves it and is pretty good at it. and nancy and jonathan's arc together gets to explore then why jonathan prefers to use the kyoshi warrior combat methods and his fans rather than his bending, including some arguments between them where jonathan reminds nancy that not everyone could afford fancy amazing teachers to help them learn how to bend.

now i'm getting off topic lol. anyways. eventually, i think jonathan works through his bending trauma (concurrent to will handling his own), and he ultimately makes peace with it and combines his love for the kyoshi warrior combat fighting with his airbending for some fucking AWESOME jonathan byers fight scenes.

(ps steve asks jonathan to try and teach him out to use the fans, and jonathan is too nice to say no lol. and yes when jonathan was learning he went all out and did the makeup because he wanted to learn about the culture and fully embrace it, as best as he can. he makes steve do the same, but ah... steve is not built for fighting with the fans lol. it doesn't work very well.)

#andi's asks #atlagate #stranger things/avatar au

[theabysscomeshome]

For the meme, Venti, Zhongli, Ei, and Nahida. Archon squad let's goooo

I'll do my best.

Venti

Sexuality Headcanon: Who even knows. Does wind have sex? Does he still think about sex the way a wind spirit would? Did he just adopt his bard friend's sexuality as his own and move on? We just don't know. Gender Headcanon: Pretty sure that if Venti ever thinks about gender it's only to think up ways he can make it as chaotic and unorthodox as possible, because Something Something Freedom, amirite? A ship I have with said character: Venti/Xiao is pretty cute. Just the mental image of him going out of his way to play in a place where Xiao can hear it. For no reason other than to bring some peace to his soul ;o; A BROTP I have with said character: [shrug] The previous image does work just as well as a brotp. A NOTP I have with said character: [shrug] A random headcanon: Not a headcanon exactly (I... don't have many headcanons for Venti) but I've always wondered just how much Venti knows about why Kaeya is in Mondstadt, where Kaeya is from, and/or anything about his family slash the group that sent him (if different from the Abyss Order). General Opinion over said character: I'm gonna be honest, Venti is fine and all but I have always had basically zero interest in him as a character, oops.

Zhongli

Sexuality Headcanon: I am wide open. Willing to go with absolutely anything. Heck, maybe he's switched over the millenia. Gender Headcanon: I tend to go along with the fanon that he's been other genders before and just goes with what he feels like when he mingles with the humans. A ship I have with said character: I'm very fond of Zhongli/Childe, as I think most of my friends know. Zhongli/Venti can also be very fun. Haven't given a lot of thought to anything else. A BROTP I have with said character: Zhongli and Childe is way up there as a brotp I love. I also vastly prefer Zhongli & Guizhong as a platonic lifepartner ruling pair rather than a couple. A NOTP I have with said character: Again, don't think there's any particularly hated ones I've come across. Even Zhongli/Guizhong I don't hate, it's just not my preferred configuration. A random headcanon: He's kept in contact with every (or almost every) generation of funeral directors in Hu Tao's family, and in the past (when humanity was less removed from the gods and the adepti by necessity) has even collaborated with some as either Rex Lapis or a powerful adeptus, and this is the source of some of their knowledge of the spiritual world. General Opinion over said character: I like him. I don't spend a huge amount of time thinking about him, but when I do it's generally positive it's just not 'I will now spend a month fixating' kind of positive.

Ei

Sexuality Headcanon: Lesbian, probably. Sapphic definitely, given Miko. Gender Headcanon: Funnily enough the only time I've really thought about gender-adjacent things with Ei was in an ABO au where Ei just does not realize that a large part of her discomfort in trying to model being the perfect omega leader in place of her sister, is that she isn't an omega. But she's spent so long first as her sister's double and then as her replacement, that that whole feeling is intricately woven up into all the other ways she differs from Makoto. Anyway idk exactly how I would translate that into a non-ABO verse, but I feel like I'd want to bring over at least some of it, just because it does open up fun new layers with makoto and also dissolving her body and making new ones and possibly even the way she treats those bodies afterward. A ship I have with said character: I am fully in support of Ei/Miko, they deserve each other (said both affectionately and exasperatedly), and I tbh haven't thought that much about other ships, especially since I prefer Sara/Shogun over Sara/Ei. A BROTP I have with said character: With Miko again, naturally, and I'm also very curious about her old party (and Chiyo). A NOTP I have with said character: [shrug] Ei/Shogun maybe? But even then if you wrote it right (i.e. not ignoring their canon dynamic and power difference and agency issues) I might enjoy it. A random headcanon: I wonder sometimes if she never really felt she was qualified to run Inazuma, and her clones were (partly, initially) an attempt to make someone better that she could pretend was Makoto having things under control as always. (But they were never close, because she didn't really understand why Makoto did things or what she wanted, and so how could she ever recreate something similar?) General Opinion over said character: Pretty indifferent tbh. I haven't really been hooked by her character in general.

Nahida

Sexuality Headcanon: Man, she's a 500 year old kid whose entire knowledge of the world comes through people's dreams. She's either not thought about it at all before, or she's spent a lot of time watching people's wet dreams and documenting all the fascinatingly weird things humans dream up in them, and either way I have no idea how that translates into the first time she tries out something irl. Her previous self was probably bi tho. Gender Headcanon: Radish. A ship I have with said character: The goddess of flowers in her past life, definitely. Possibly a drama-filled ot3 with the two of them and Deshret. I haven't finished the archon quest yet but I'm shipping it even if it's jossed. In present-day idk. A BROTP I have with said character: [shrug] Fandom's really running with Nahida and Scaramouche rn, but idk if I'm feeling the dynamic most people are going with. We'll see how it plays out. A NOTP I have with said character: [shrug] A random headcanon: The first chunk of questline we get regarding her had me thinking she was actually created by Rukkhadevata as part of the Akasha system, and I'm still very fond of that. It's been jossed of course and no longer works at all with Genshin's storyline but there are, I think, some very fun things you could do with the concept in, say, a sci fi au where the Akasha system is some kind of galaxy spanning AI network. General Opinion over said character: There are parts of her I like and parts I'm indifferent to. I didn't end up liking her enough to pull in the end, so there's that. She does make an extremely cute radish.

You still taking Rosewick requests? Idk what you like to do.

How about Ruby breaking Roman out of Jail?

I kinda want to make a second chapter of this fic tbh, I loved writing this one

Also I didn’t know how to end the fic, it kinda ends poorly imo, I hope you enjoyed this though!!

Everything was going great compared to the last year. Roman was caught by the Atlas Forces, and, most importantly, the Vytal Festival was coming up in only a few weeks.

Everyone was excited, well, except for Team RWBY’s leader, Ruby Rose, who’s feeling rather depressed.

“Whats wrong, sis?” Her sister, Yang, sat on her bed next to her. “Oh, its nothing.” Yang raises an eyebrow. “C’mon Ruby, y’know you can tell me anything.”

“It’s just… Well,” She was a bit terrified of Yangs response. However after carefully considering her words, “I feel like Roman could’ve changed.”

With a thousand words running through Yangs brain, she could only respond with “Really? You think he could change?”

“I wish that I could maybe visit him one day— But like only to talk to him nothing more than that-“ Ruby was starting to stutter as Yang interrupted, “Don’t worry,” She laughed, “I understand.”

“I don’t think there will be enough time for that, we still have the Festival.” She stands up, walking towards the door, but stopping to turn back, “By the way Ruby, good luck!”

“Right, good luck to you as well!”

It was only a day until the Vytal Festival, Ruby was nervous— Not because of the Festival, it was about Roman Torchwick, he couldn’t leave her brain.

She overheard where his whereabouts were a few days after his capture. She couldn’t just go and talk to him— Unless if she decided to break him out, which she did decide on doing.

“I’m only doing this to try and change him.” But that was just an excuse.

Sneaking into the building using her semblance, and if she got caught she would try to use her status of being a student of Beacon Academy.

Fortunately for her, no one caught her. Walking down the hall carefully, she saw him, their eyes met.

She got flustered, excited and nervous all at once. She saw his smug face, almost like he knew she would be there.

But a keypad was in front of the door, she planned for there to be. But she looked back up to him gesturing the numbers on his hand.

He was right, she opened the door to reveal a rather disappointed Roman. “C’mon Neo, what took so long on the door?” “Neo?” Ruby backed up.

Roman was stunned, he lets out a laugh, “Red? You broke me out?” She became red in her face. “I… I wanted to talk to you.” “What is there to talk about?” Roman crossed his arms.

“I wanna talk to you about you becoming a better person!” He continues laughing, “is that it? You know that I won’t, right?”

She was frozen, her mind was blank.

“Well, thanks for breaking me out Red, but its a bit early don’t you think?”

“What do you mean early?” “Don’t worry, you’ll find out sooner or later.” He smiled. She wasn’t about to leave him alone, she was going to stay with him, even if that means skipping the festival.

Call of the Abyss VI [pre-release hcs]

More than any kind of concrete ideas or stories, Im just rambling around from the COAVI annoucement video

Just the idea of this 5 people departing from the metropolis outskirts (or from the capital wither is possible) to the space, its not like a fancy organization that sponsored this crew, taking the scraps from other inventions laying around to make this ship work.

Personally I like the idea of this being a van that has been upgraded to work like a space ship, it works like both a transport and a home to the team, just something silly, why not?

About the reason this particular group is there Im not really sure, could easily be that they have been baited by telling them theyll be rewarded for going in the space when in reality they could been given to wuchang as a sacrifice like the video was telling about, or theyre legit space explored that have crashed onto wuchang's planet, only after actually reading more into the lore and the actual realease of coa we'll know

Tbh even if the official leader of the group is not announced yet, I do believe it'll be Melly, even if Andrew is show on the foreground, she has more potential, but I do think that they both could be fighting constantly on who actually leads the group

Melly is for sure the more intelligent of the group, or the most cunning one perhaps, I do like to think that shes the one that pilots the ship, the brain of the team if you may say, I do believe shes knows a lot about outerspace life, myb even speaks more than one alien language, and the culprit behind the snacks always dissapearing the first week theyre brought in the van

Andrew is the link from the earth to their ship, his clunky headphones are the ones allows him to get on calls from the earth or nearby radio waves , when in a mission he either a 100 things at once or is dragged around by the others, no inbetween, didnt volunteered to be part of the mission, but is very much interested in the benefits it brings

Annie I just think she fits into being the one with the most knowledge in the enginnering and mechanic of the ship, or myb tecnology in general, shes the copilot of this team and one in charge of the music most of the times for her good taste, she has indeed named both the van and her bucket hat and probably other things around the place, and the only one who knows how to properly refill the gas tank

Ganji is debatable the physically strongest of them and the one most ready to fight when in danger, the oxygen tanks on his back are the key to his sudden burst of energy, but if he isnt napping during the flights he shows a somewhat endearing interest in the cosmos and all on space, being guilty of bringing aboard all sort of trinkets and critters after missions

Joker is, well hes basically that wild card, not even him is sure how did he got on the ship but since hes helpful the others let him stay, has a vast knowledge about space and traveling around it, with this hes normally the one that plans out the route for the ship to travel through and where the nearbys spacial inns are located at, feels more at peace in the black cosmos rather than having to be on land

Now with the antagonist of the story its pretty obvious wuchang has to be a cyborgs, a living being covered in metal or a straight up android, if this is indeed inspired to the Lovecraft collection and by the name of whisperer of darkness like the story, I have the idea of wuchang being the ones to call the space crew to his location in a fake call for help, only to get them to fall on his trap so that they can be sacrificed to a higher being, in lore they could either be the two sides of a same coin or actually show them as different individuals

Most probable thing is that I'll be changing this post as more information from the event comes out or just create a new post on the #idv coavi tag since the brainrot is indeed strong

[superwholockian93]

hii! this pi-erd :D

i've read your addition on my analysis and now that you'd explained it from the novel side, im even more convinced that all this chaos was commenced from the production team's planning instead of thua as a character. and maybe it's indeed that ayan was just there as a catalyst, not a group leader.

it's a relief tbh and disappointing at the same time cus as you said, the change they made in the series didn't do thua justice. instead, he looked more antagonistic rather than, idk, "heroic"? from your description abt novel-thua, he's generally more objective, but colder. more "merciless" than what louis projected in the series. it made more sense that thua became more radical at the end, as his patience reached the limit. like he's the guy walking safely between the student prefect and the rebel (this is from louis' interpretation in maya tv interview). but, damn, his portrayal of thua made him softer and like, more submissive and indecisive? so, it seems like we're seriously getting clowned by his innocent facade and then became greatly devastated when he became so extreme and seemed unapologetic and hypocrite.

i think, the series might've downplayed the tension in the book, so they could end it in 12 episodes. series-thua was absolutely more adorable and, despite not being so taken with kan, he def looked like he's more into this relationship with kan.

Oh hi! :D

To start of, it's nice that you like art and wish to analyse it. You don't need to have a degree for that! And art, as they say, is open to interpretation~

That said, sorry if I confused you but Thua isn't heroic in the novel. He's the "hero of the story". As in he's the one who uses the facts that are presented in front of him, applies logic, connects the dots and AGAINST HIS NATURE decides to fight/stands up for the people - the juniors - even though he did none of that for himself! That's what I mean by a hero. His character arc is of growth. There's a journey. In comparison, look at Ayan's. His priorities/morals sort of fly out of the window right when he's involved with Akk. The novel doesn't focus on romance that much actually so it's all character building.

Louis plays Thua really well. He's a muscular guy with baby like features who is very robotic because he's repressed and "shy" cuz he's been burned by the people around him for being different. He's on the sidelines and prefers to remain there because he's comfortable. Don't attract attention. Don't cause troubles. He's fine like that but he realises there are people - his classmate - who are actively feeding into the conspiracy and causing genuine harm. That disturbs him. That's what first raises his alarm. Then Ayan comes in who is so vocal about the school's oppression and for the first time it clicks to him Oh, not only what they're doing *is* wrong but one such as him *can* protest (At least, us Asian kids know how difficult that could be even when you're not part of the marginalised sections) against the school authorities. That's what triggers him and then his step dad he doesn't gel with also tells him how he was mistreated and wrongfully accused of things he hadn't committed. Thua notices the pattern with the juniors and realises now that the system will and has been perpetuating bullshit to suppress kids and they could harm the kids if so required.

That's what drives him to Do Something™ about it. He still doesn't do anything drastic. He puts little stuff into action - they differ in the series & the novel. Like, he manipulates Kan to burn the stuff while in the series he steals the diary.

And, he thinks Ayan will go on to help him when he discovers the truth except Ayan finds out and does nothing about it and helps Akk dodge it. Also, he uses him and Kan getting close as a means to keep an eye on Kan's friends. He does grow attached (& he maybe he had a little bit of feelings from the start but from what I had read I didn't feel that way; to me it had read like Thua only likes him later due to Kan's persistence) but he's willing to let go of it. He's acting in greater good. The thing I love the most is as he demands Akk to confess, Thua considers his own actions and wonders to achieve an end for the Greater Good if whatever means is required and if deviating from the path is required, if it is still justifiable. The difference is unlike Akk he was fully conscious of his actions and independently made them and was completely prepared for the consequences of his actions.

You get all of his POV only in the penultimate chapter so it comes as a complete shock to everyone and is an amazing moment to read.

He does get back with Kan later after a few days when they talk it out and Kan understands his POV.

The mistake the series does is A) they sensationalised the reveal by their choice of editing and shooting or whatever

B) They made Thua out the leads instead of using anonymous/background actors or the ones mentioned in the novel - people lose their objective right there instead of focusing on/listening to what is being said or shown; viewers, especially, International ones seem to be more interested in debating whether that was morally correct or not

3. They took away Wat's plot and turned it 180 on its head and make him the one who suggests the Bl movie and even then the progression/continuation in these scenes are laughable

4. There's also no consequence of the impending fight between Kan and Thua - they could have used what Kan told Akk in the novel to show US how they resolved the matters

*Now* it's weird because Thua was always bullied and he wanted to stand up except he has helped orchestrate all this AND out his bf 's best friend who also lied to his bf but this bf doesn't really care about any of that?

They undercut it so quick.

5. Like I once said before, 10 weeks of build up was resolved in 10 minutes with no actual consequence

6. They made Ayan call him the villain while simultaneously the show ended up framing him as one

It was such a thin line. Actions can easily be twisted and misconstrued. They had one job and they fucked it up. Most people I know who have read the novel applaud the author for Thua's character but the show's focus on romance is sometimes so much that it stumbles on the key message of the story.

Look, I know this is a bl and the team with the poorest budget and anti monarchy sentiments didn't hope to have any popularity or possibility of s2 but some resonance with the local audience n interest of the GMMTV/bl audience. So they wrapped it up with the most forced happy ending for Kanthua. I know they want to show queer characters who get a good ending but a good ending isn't always a happy ending. That too in a story so grounded in reality. Especially, one that comes at the cost of story telling.

Also, good ending is possible - it happens in the novel itself but with a slight change in their actions and the way they were framed I don't see how Kan and Thua could work in the series' universe.

I'm aware books and television series are different media and adaptations can vary a lot from the source material but if you read the novel and think 2 minutes on it you can tell they thought they were doing something impressive but the landing is just -

I love those scenes in the series because I love Louis's acting in those moments so I'll probably Rewatch them a lot but the series successfully, killed off my interest in series kanthua 😂

And, it also managed to bungle it so hard that most people are failing to see the point of the episode was that the corrupted, oppressive system is the villain and perpetuates its crime again and again and will continue to target people they can control and who will succumb to their web.

There's so much to write on that alone but here we are talking about why Thua is or isn't the villain when it should have been obvious to most if not everyone that that isn't the point of the story :)
