Headcanons for my Batkids Young age au part 4:

Batkids ages:

Damian: 5 years old

Tim: 9 years old

Jason: 12 years old

Duke: 7 years old

Cassandra: 8 years old

Stephanie: 9 years old

Dick: 15 years old

Superkids ages:

Jon: 5 years old

Kon: 9 years old

Little Damian is easy to distract with the animal discovery channel since he loves it, due to his trait of being an animal lover, especially cartoon shows that have animals as characters in it, but if anyone tries to steal the living room remote and change the channel, he will get upset and give a really big tantrum until they change it back

Jon tried pretending to be a puppy one time after wondering what it was like for Krypto, so he would always be trying to make cute little fake barks, eating his food with his mouth instead of his hands or fork and spoon (though, Lois made sure to remind him about table manners), and he would also always be playing with Krypto outside in the backyard on his hands and feet too, running around all over the dirty ground like that, which would dirty him and his clothes up, giving Clark and Lois extra, unnecessary laundry to do. Though, thankfully for his parents after almost a month of this little act of his, Jon stopped doing it after deciding that he liked living like a human better

All of the Batkids always ask Dick for piggyback rides

When Kon had came over to meet baby Jon for the first time, he was a little jealous at first at the thought of a sibling taking over his place as the new child in the family but after finally meeting Jon, those bitter emotions left him and he instantly grew to love the little half Kryptonian. He also began to enjoy spending time with little Jon, enjoying their fun times together, he later on realized that maybe having a sibling instead of being an only child probably wasn't so bad after all

Damian likes to paint on Tim's face sometimes when he's asleep and hides once he wakes up, since he'll know that it was definitely him, since it's not the first time that he usually does this to his big brother

Duke has a favorite lion plushie that helps him feel safe whenever he's having a nightmare or can't sleep at night. Though, during a loud stormy night outside the Manor, Duke, after going downstairs with his plushie to go grab some of Alfred's delicious chocolate chip cookies, bumped into little Damian in the hallway upstairs. He could see that the boy that was usually a tough one, was slightly shaking and had a bit of an almost fearful expression on his face. Duke, who was curious, asked his little brother what he was doing walking around the halls so late, though, Damian, who didn't want to look like a coward, just replied saying that he was just looking for Titus since he had left the room. Duke knew he wasn't being honest though, since he had seen the puppy peacefully sound asleep in the boy wonders bedroom while passing by after coming upstairs and before he could say anything about it, a loud thunder struck outside, creating a loud sound, made Damian jump in front of Duke, revealing how scared he was feeling, so after seeing the reaction of his little brother, he asks him if he's scared of the thunderstorm that's going on, but Damian cuts him off, telling him that he is being ridiculous, since he isn't afraid of anything, which Duke knew wasn't really true at the moment. After a few seconds of Damian still trying to deny that he was actually scared while Duke was telling him that he obviously was, Damian jumped up in fear once again, due to another thunder strike that had happened at that very moment, so Duke, who can see that he was obviously scared, gives Damian his favorite trusted lion plushie and hands him one of the cookies that he had gotten from downstairs, telling Damian "Here, you can have Liony, he's good at protecting you when you're scared." Damian, hesitantly, as he's hugging Liony the plushie tightly in his arms, asks Duke "But what about you? How are you gonna fall asleep without him?", since he knows that it's his favorite plushie, but Duke tells him that he will be fine and that he needs him more than he does and that's what Liony is there for anyways, to make sure everyone's safe. He also offers that if he wanted, he could sleep in his room for the night if he wanted and and that they could even hang out the whole night while he holds onto Liony, which Damian accepts. So they spend the whole night in Duke's room having a fun time together, building a little fort with the beds pillows and blanket sheets, then sitting in it with their flash lights on once they're done, while eating their chocolate chip cookies, talking and quietly laughing the whole night together. Later on in the early morning, Bruce and Alfred, while checking up on the two young brothers in the room, see the sweet sight of them both asleep in their fort together, both hugging eachother and Liony the brave plushie who was in the middle. A warm smile grows on both of the men's faces as they both quietly leave the room and gently close the door so that they won't wake them from their peaceful sleep

[theflirtmeister]

if you're still doing the kiss prompts?? 15 + bethany/martha

Martha’s university dorm is small and cramped, and the bed is hardly big enough for one person, let alone two. Bethany makes herself as small as possible, back pressed up against the wall, and watches Martha undress for bed, taking in the sight of Snoopy pyjamas and fuzzy socks. 

“What?” Martha says, wrinkling her nose at Bethany’s staring.

“Nothing,” Bethany says. “I just didn’t realise you were trying to seduce me.”

Martha’s cheeks flush, and she roughly throws back the covers to climb in beside Bethany, her knees cold as they knock against Bethany’s own. They’re not even alone in the bed - Martha’s toy lion that she’s had since birth is nestled between them, like a very tired and faded lesbian prevention guard. 

“I like being comfy,” Martha mutters, adjusting Liony so that he’s tucked under her arm. “I thought Snoopy was cute.”

“The cutest,” Bethany says, rolling over to face her. “Just like you.”

“Shut up,” Martha says. She smells of mint toothpaste and the lotion that Bethany bought her for Christmas, something spicy. Bethany had watched her put it on before bed, and resisted the urge to lick it off with her tongue.

“Make me,” Bethany says, because she’s nothing but original.

Martha rolls her eyes, and wriggles close to kiss Bethany on the mouth, sweet and simple. Bethany kisses her back, eyes fluttering shut, and they’re Martha-and-Bethany again, making out in the cramped bed, Martha making delicious noises as Bethany slides her hand under her Snoopy top.

“Wait,” Martha says, out of breath, and Bethany tilts her head. “Liony can’t watch this.”

“Oh god,” Bethany says. “Liony. He’s so young.”

She props herself up on one elbow to watch Martha gently lay Liony down on the bedside table, covering his eyes with a tissue. It’s so adorable that she wants to bite Martha on the shoulder, cute aggression only fulfilled with teeth. Martha gives Liony a little pat on the stomach, and turns back to Bethany, now satisfied.

“Hey,” Martha says.

“Hi,” Bethany replies. “Want me to call you Roundhouse in bed?”

“Please,” Martha says, and Bethany pulls her close.

Nickname/s (used by STAY): Hutchy, Teddy

Date of Birth: June 26, 2003

Zodiac Sign: Cancer

Place of Birth: Bonn, Germany

Ethnicity: German-Korean

Height: 5’6” (167.64 centimeters)

Weight: 137.6 lbs (62.4 kg)

☆ Face ☆

Hair (length and original color): Black, prefers to keep mid-neck

Eyes: Left: blue, Right: green

Extras (blemishes, scars, etc.): Freckles sort of like Felix’s; all over his cheeks and nose, a mole on the upper right corner of his lip

☆ Facts ☆

He’ll mindlessly bounce his leg up and down or tap his foot, when he comes to his senses though, he’ll stop, fearing he was bothering someone with the constant subtle ‘click click’ noise

He has a kitten and is always looking forward to seeing him when he gets back to his home

He was 15 when Skz debuted

He trained for 2-ish years 

He loves listening to girl groups and giving them support, his favorite is (G)I-DLE.

He has a very feminine sneeze but no one really knows why nor do they really mind, they just find it funny (his siblings and friends)

Ash has a younger brother and 2 older twin sisters, his brother is named Parker and his sisters are Tatum and Hayden

He used to wear brown contacts because he was self-conscious of his heterochromia

He has naturally pink cheeks

He has a baby-blue bunny that he can’t sleep without

When he got a phone for the first time, his sister Hayden, got him a Miku phone case so when that phone died for good, he was really sad but only because of the phone case (luckily though, he got a similar, if not better, Miku phone case and has it on his phone now)

If he’s sick in bed with nothing to do, he’ll mosey into the living room or a room with a comfortable laying place with a TV and either binge The Seven Deadly Sins or South Park

He keeps his 3 friendship bracelets on from his best friend whom he met in 6th grade and will often call that friend despite the time difference

If he had to marry a male idol who wasn’t in his group, he’d pick Beomgyu from TXT

He’s very afraid of any bug unless it’s the common beetle which isn’t very common for him because he’s only found them about 1-2 times

He kept most of his essays from 7th-8th grade because he missed all the teachers from those grades

He’ll cry for no reason whatsoever and will likely cry more when someone asks him what’s wrong because he has no idea why he’s crying, he just is

Once, in 7th grade, he jokingly asked his science teacher for a Diet Coke and she gave him one but she told him to not tell anyone or let anyone see it because she technically wasn’t allowed to give soda to students.

He hates wearing clothes so he’ll often wear shorts and a tank top unless he’s outside in fall-winter

Speaking of seasons, his favorite is Fall

If he had to pick between Pepsi and Coke, he’d easily pick Coke, specifically Wild Cherry Coke

Back at his home, he has almost 3 walls of squish mallows and even more that are crowding under his bed and on his bed

He used to be horrified of thunderstorms but after he hadn’t had one in a while, he was really happy when he found out that around his area, a very gnarly one was going to hit in a few days (but soon regretted it and went back to being scared)

If he could, he’d adopt a bear cub and raise it as his own baby, preferably a brown bear

His friends make fun of him (playfully of course) for cosplaying so many female or feminine characters like Felix Argyle/Ferris, Elizabeth Lionis, and Grelle

He gets his nails done professionally every few weeks and if he gets bored of the design but doesn’t have time to get them done professionally, he’ll ask on of the other members to help him paint them because of how shaky he is

He gets really happy whenever he finds a Cotton Candy Bang energy drink because he can never find them anywhere

He uses the 🩵 emoji the most

He gets really happy when he sees blue as it's his favorite color

I would add so much more but this is getting long

Prince Lionhead from Umbrella of Hope in Pittsburg, California

Click here for more information about adoption and other ways to help!

Click here for a link to Umbrella of Hope’s main website.

11 yr old purebred Doll-Faced Persian with limited vision and High Blood Pressure (NEUTERED MALE) available for ADOPTIONMeet Prince Lionhead Rabbit IV, Esquire aka 'Pea-Elle' Prince Lionhead (Prince, Princey, Lion, Lionhead, Liony-head, Simba-Doo, Mush-Mush, MRAOW-MRAOW) is an 11 yr old Doll-Faced Persian. He is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and has had senior labs. P-L takes a daily medication for high blood pressure. The medication is stupid-cheap but he will require regular vet checks to monitor his blood pressure so his new owner must have the budget for that. After trial and error, he prefers the pill version in a pill pocket (over the liquid version which he said did NOT taste like tuna as promised). He will come with a year's supply of his current dose which seems to be working well for him (for anyone who cares, it is amlodipine 2.5 mg and he takes 1/2 tablet per day). Our vet recommended a pouch food that helps with hydration (ProPlan Veterinary HydraCare available without a prescription on Chewy.com) as BP meds can be hard on the kidneys (his kidneys are currently fine). P-L eats this with Weruva low phosphorous wet food and dry crunchies as a side. His current dry food is ProPlan LiveClear that helps with human allergies as his foster mom is allergic to cats but he can eat whatever senior dry food you would like him to be on or what your vet prefers. He does not seem to be picky. The supplement and the wet food cost around $100/month plus the cost of dry food and we buy them on Chewy.com (no prescription required). Prince Lionhead came to us from SFACC where he was relinquished after his 90-year-old owner fell ill suddenly and ended up in a nursing home for end of life care. We have many pages of previous veterinary records and it seems that his owner was doing her very best to care for him when she was having trouble even caring for herself. Due to having high blood pressure that went untreated during the time that his owner fell ill, it has damaged his vision. He CAN see, but he does not see well. His vision has improved over the several weeks we have had him in foster care and our vet says it is 50/50 if he will continue to improve. He does fine and we consider this a non-issue. Due to his need for regular blood pressure checks, his wet food and supplements and his grooming needs, he is NOT a cat for an owner on a budget. He's perfect with his litterbox, a sweet and gentle soul with an easy purr and a love of petting (even belly rubs!) and cuddling He's never had a bad day in his entire life - he was VERY loved in his previous home and it shows He loves snuggles, belly rubs, butt rubs, petting, brushing, snuggling and love. He has five canine companions, and he hates them. But this is just presented as hissing and avoidance. He has learned to co-exist with the two little dogs who LOOOOOOOVVVVVEEE him. So he could probably live with respectable dogs especially if he has a place to retreat away from them when needed. He DOES lay on the bed with them to sleep with the humans. The 4lb dog thinks he's winning P-L over with his invitations to play and P-L seems less and less annoyed with him but has not responded to the invitation to play. Stay tuned, we feel the little dog will win him over eventually like he did the resident grumpy dog (LOL) He recently discovered a love for catnip and loves to have the area above his tail 'patted' to initiate his play mode. He loves to use his 'murder mittens' to make kitty biscuits on your tummy and will sometimes offer you a face bath with his rough tongue -- especially in the middle of the night We think he'd feel the same about cats. Kids? Yea-party type yes. Superhero-type, ehhh probably not

Sorting A Redtail's Dream (SHC)

(link to explanation of the system I'm using here)

Hannu Viitanen is an unabashed and entertainingly bastardous Snake primary. He's very much a Selfish Snake, who only cares about himself and Ville...and in darker moments, only about Ville.

His secondary is Bird, I think. He likes lying, admittedly, but Snake secondaries don't have a monopoly on that-and he isn't particularly good at it tbh. When it comes to solving problems effectively, he uses plans and tools-nets and lightning rods and remembered bits of information.

Ville, on the other hand, is a Badger Primary. He loves people, he loves groups, and he consistently pushes Hannu to do things for others. He's deeply distressed by Puppy-Fox's callousness, not just because he and Hannu are being hurt by it, but because he can't imagine thinking that way. Yet when the time comes to turn the tables, Ville doesn't hesitate to join the hunt and is the one to put an arrow in the redtail in the end. To quote the SHC Founders, the Badger primary tendency to dehumanise 'is how you get racist [Badgers], but also how you get [Badgers] who unapologetically deny they have any debt of fairness to, say, abusers'. After putting them through an absolutely horrific set of ordeals, Puppy-Fox is easy for Ville to stop considering as a person.

Ville's secondary is Snake. He's good at improvising, and though he doesn't lie often, when he does he's better at it than Hannu. He's comfortable using emotional manipulation-you can find him on TV Tropes as an example of the trope Crocodile Tears-and he adapts easily to being shapeshifted into a whole bunch of different forms.

The other characters are harder to sort, as they get less screen time. Some best guesses, though; Paju Kinnunen feels very much like an exploded Lion Badger whose attempts to control the people around her in the name of Doing Things Right have gotten frankly kind of frightening. The Swan of Tuonela feels like she's a Snake Lion stuck in a job better suited to a badgersec, and getting increasingly burnsplodey in the secondary about it. I think there's something Liony about Kokko, though not sure if it's primary, secondary, or both. And Puppy-Fox is a Double Snake who pretty much embodies the Trickster archetype.

burnt badger primary (lion model) + bird secondary (bird performance)

Hello Wisteria! Hope you're doing well.

I want to ask for some help with my sorting. It was pretty stable for some time, but now I have doubts again.

The major difficulty for me is my secondary house. For primary, I'm pretty sure I'm a Burned Badger with Lion model. It was not the easiest thing to admit, because I don't like the idea of confirming to community, but I'm actually very people-oriented. It's important for me to find my place in the community where I can help people with my sphere of competence. However, I have suffered too much from situation when I was the only one who understood that the established morality of the group I belonged to was actually hurting the members of this community. 

I’m definitely seeing some Burnt Badger primary. 

I'm also neurodivergent and even when I see that there's a problem, I don't know what to do with it, especially when it's something about people's psychological well-being, and it's literally pain for me. On the one hand, it lead to burning - I don't trust in my own ability to be helpful for people around me

It does sound like your secondary is a bit burnt - that’s probably why you’re having problems nailing it down. 

and even though I hate myself for such thoughts, I sometimes catch myself thinking that sometimes people really don't deserve respect and love. 

Okay. I can read that as Burnt Badger primary, definitely. You want to respect and love everyone, but that doesn’t feel doable/safe... and you feel guilty about that. 

On the other hand it helped me to develop a pretty stable Lion model, which helps me to trust my intuition and my own sense of morality rather than other people's opinions when those factors contradict with each other.

I hope you find a group that suits you better. 

However, secondaries are way more... Complicated. I don't understand exactly which one is my natural instinct and which one is my learned model.

It was pretty easy for me to exclude Badger and Snake secondaries. I don't resonate with the idea of adaptability that are associated with Snake secondaries, for me it's just lying, and I heavily dislike lying. 

Hmm. This is a very heavy knee-jerk response. Which normally makes me say Lion - and usually Lion secondary - but I’m still trying to figure out how your Lion primary model fits into your system. 

Also I do not find hard work to be the best way of achieving goals, I'm a type of person who thinks that it's better to work smart than hard, and I happily use shortcuts if they a) don't hurt anyone; and 2) don't give me dishonorable advantage.

Okay, I agree. You’re probably not a Badger secondary. But there’s that Badger primary preoccupation with fairness creeping in. 

However, it's way more difficult for me to differentiate between Bird and Lion secondary. Even in my childhood I had traits of both and they become so heavily integrated with each other that any attempt to figure out who is the main one becomes a reason for headache.

I’ll help you out as much as I can here, but if it’s helpful at this point in your life to just say “I’m both” ... I don’t think I have a problem with that. 

Reasons why I might be Bird:

I am going to say I am already leaning Bird. Because you did start in with a LIST. And I *suspect* that some of your more Liony tendencies might be related to your primary. You clearly like Lion a lot... and are a little conflicted about your Badger primary. 

1) Even though I don't feel like I actively collect "useful tools", I'm definitely a knowledge hoarder. I like to read different stuff, and I just randomly and totally unintentionally gather information I find interesting and fun, like a dragon gathers random shiny thingies. I might not even remember the source, but I can remember every detail in a random fact I have seen ten years ago in a Wikipedia article. Sometimes such knowledge is useful, sometimes just fun, but it happens automatically.

Okay, there’s some Bird here definitely. And it’s not the “scaffolding” type of Bird secondary that I would *expect* from someone who’s neurodivergent and modeling bird as a support system.

2) I infodump. Like A LOT. I'd I'm interested in something, I can speak about it for hours.

That just means you’re neurodivergent. That’s not a Bird thing. 

3) If it's not an emergency situation, my first reaction is to withdraw from the reality for a few minutes

That wording makes me think of dissociation, which is again kind of its own thing. But I also don’t think English is your first language, so I’m not going to read too much into it. 

and try to figure out logically what's happening and what should I do with it.

4) I have a need to have a possibility to plan things in advance, instead of changing my plans every hour because of external circumstances.

Okay sure. I’m hearing prep-work secondary (Bird or Badger) who doesn’t like making split-second decisions. You clearly value the Bird skillset. 

Reasons for Lion:

1) I'm a pretty harsh and agressive person. Majorly I'm calm, but some things can trigger me so much that I immediately jump into my "berserker mode", and if the trigger was strong enough, I can go from total chill to desire to unalive someone during just few seconds.

That sounds like like we’ve got some anger issues going on, which is something any secondary can struggle with. 

2) I tend to be the "hard truth teller," in most situations I say exactly what I think even if it might lead to a conflict.

This sounds like a Lion primary. It’s not about solving problems, it’s about doing something because it’s right. I suspect that Lion primary feels safer to you right now than Badger primary, but if it is indeed a defense mechanism, that may be where the slightly aggressive vibe of this ask is coming from. 

3) I often end up being a leader, against my own will, because no one else have chosen to take the responsibility.

That is indeed a Lion secondary trait... but Lion secondaries tend to like being leaders, and you seem super conflicted about it. 

There's also one interesting trait that seems to be a mixture of equal Lion and Bird parts. I'm somewhat a planner, I prefer to know things that I need to do in advance, preferably at least few days, but instead of having a detailed plan with exact timetable, it's more like a puzzle with pieces that I can combine with each other to make something solid. 

Rapid-fire Bird.

I don't plan more than just hooks and anchors that allow me to remember what I need to do or to say. 

I like your metaphor. I’m not totally sure I understand it. But I have definitely compared Bird secondaries to fishing hooks before. 

I'm also pretty good in using infodumping as a way to hide from people that I lack competence in something.

I expect that you may additionally have a bit of a Bird secondary performance, that you use to buy time, or when you’re in an unfamiliar situation.

Well, I hope that it wasn't too chaotic to analyze)

No, not at all. 

Feel free to ask any questions if something seems unclear or needs more details to analyze! And thank you in advance.

I’m reading you pretty solidly as a Bird secondary. You’ve got this defense mechanism Lion primary that kicks in, and that’s where the Lion energy is coming from. I’m also not reading your secondary as particularly burnt, and in retrospect “not knowing what to do especially when it's something about people's psychological well-being,” should have clued me in to how it’s your primary burning, not your secondary. I truly don’t see a problem with modeling a really loud Lion until your Badger primary gets back on its feet, and hope everything goes well for you.

Shameless Self Promotion

So, let me tell you about my Endless Story.

Once upon a time, I was hanging around a website writing fanfic for my very first online fandom. And I made friends through the site, in the fandom, and we all had different perspectives on the characters in canon. Sometimes we could juuust about see where we'd each inserted a little wedge, making our take unique, and sometimes it was a bit more murky. At some point in these interactions, my versions got entangled with other people's versions, and while I still had my fanon worldview, I now also had several AUs as well.

Add about 20 years to really think about what makes people into what they are, and what it might take to make them truly heroic...or truly villainous.

That's the story I call 'The Ghost'. I'm not going to deny the fandom roots here, but I think my characters and my world stand on their own. I'm sure, if you've encountered the source I'm drawing from, you'll at some point go "Oh, that's who that is," and maybe that'll make the story more interesting or maybe it won't. I will say that even if you can see what source I'm drawing from, it wouldn't be wise to assume I'm being 'true to canon'; the roots may be fanfic, but the story is not.

Besides. By the time I'm done there'll be at least four more 'canons', plus several worlds nobody but me's ever encountered.

Why give it a shot? Because everyone likes to have something to read, and I post chapters every week. You'd get the first hundred and fifty chapters for free, and after that it's a mere one dollar a month because I'm very very broke and hoping my work's worth a small McDonald's coffee to you by that point. If you've read any of my fanfic series over on AO3, you know about what to expect - I am character driven, I hate the idiot ball, I tend toward tangled politics, I don't write sex scenes much. And sometimes things get Dark, but usually don't end that way.

Here's the main opening characters, just in case that helps you:

Gudrun Thew: A man in his seventies. Born to nobility (hated it), served in the military (really hated it), one of the first known psionics (he's an empath). For Reasons, he wound up leading a revolution in a country he'd never lived in, was elected President-for-life after they won, and retired from public life not long after his only son disappeared, apparently forever, on a mission to save the world from a time-traveling lunatic. Polyamorous (at one time), and loves cats.

Kuthumae Lionis: Gudrun's son. Technically in his forties, looks like he's in his late 20s/early 30s because Time Travel Shenanigans. For Reasons, was essentially raised by a military boarding school (didn't mind it), is an almost legendarily good mercenary (quite proud of it actually), took the job to save the world from the time-travelling lunatic because he was pretty sure his team could do it, and the world in danger was the one he was living on at the time. Unfortunately, because Reasons, he got Stuck afterward and didn't come back to his native time when he was supposed to. The story begins about thirteen years later. Kuth's sexuality is hard to define, but I'd go with "aromantic bi demisexual with extremely specific tastes".

I mean there'll be more, but that's where it starts.

You can begin reading here. The story is 'endless', but there are some reasonably firm plot/character arcs, and if that helps you keep track then there's a kind of masterlist of the public stuff here, otherwise you can follow the public chapters by using the masterposts:

The 2019 Master Linkpost is here. The 2020 Master Linkpost is here. The 2021 Master Linkpost is here. The 2022 Master Linkpost is here.

Have you any guessed about the sortings of the Mentalist?

@missbrunettebarbie and @laufire have already sorted The Mentalist, and I don't disagree with their sorting. But because I'm bored and you deserve a show, I will try anyway 😉.

Patrick Jane (original sorting: snake/snake)

He could be a super burned badger primary, burned way before Red John ever came into his life so that he only had his wife and daughter left. But he is so obviously happy with just Lisbon in season 7 that he wants to run away with her at one point, just them. And he loves the folie á deux he has going on with Erica, even though Teresa and his team don't like her. That's not a badger's happy place, not at all.

I'm trying to come up with reasons for bird or lion, and I'm drawing a complete blank. Even when he is burned for most of the show, he is burned in a snakey "I'm toxic for my people so you need to stay away" way, not in a liony "I've lost my way" or a birdy "What even is real anymore?" way.

As for secondary... yeah, I'm not even gonna try. He is such an obvious double snake, and I get him in a way I only ever do my own sorting that I can't be devil's advocate here.

Teresa Lisbon (original sorting: bird/badger)

I have tried, and I can't see her as anything but an idealist. There is a great moment somewhere in the beginning, where Patrick challenges her belief in the justice system for a single person, and you can see her inner conflict plain as day. In the end, she gives in, but she's not comfortable with her choice at that point.

What about lion, though? She often stands alone for what she believes in, and if "close cases (to get dangerous people behind bars and protect innocents)" is her belief, as she has said so many times, it never changes over seven seasons and several years.

But if she was a lion, shouldn't she be better at trusting her gut instinct? It's Patrick who has to talk her into it when they choose which of their old cases they should look at, before they identified Highbark and Grace gets kidnapped. And the Teresa Lisbon who willingly plays a psychic at a diamond show in season 7 is not the same person who argued with Jane about the ethics of deceiving people in season 1. And I don't see her beating herself up about it, either. She has accepted Jane's way of thinking, as long as her core value of "close cases" is untouched. I know it can still be a lion, but I think there would be more moral dilemma in her character arc if she was.

The first thing that pops into my head when I think about her secondary is lion: she is in charge, and she takes charge as naturally as breathing. But then I think about how she grew up with three younger brothers who she practically raised herself, and I realise it might be a model she adopted because it's what's needed to get the job done.

She can improvise and try a few different approaches in a pinch (think footprint in blood and half-written message on a notepad when she escaped from prison). So is she a snake then? If she is, she is in neutral all the time, because Lisbon is Lisbon, always and everywhere.

She might be a bird secondary, though. She certainly likes plans and follows them very well. But she kinda has to, since her survival often depends on it. And she doesn't collect skills, or things, or people, like a bird might. When she plays tricks with Jane, she feels like an actor bird, and she could definitely be rapid fire at a crime scene.

I do see badger, too, in the way she relies on her team and follows the rules, at least in the beginning. But we don't see her too broken up when Grace and Rigsby leave, or when her whole organisation gets dismantled and she is demoted to chief. And as for the rules, she defies them at every turn for Patrick, time and time again. Yes, she nags him about it, but she also protects him from her bosses or other angry people with power. That could also be her primary, though.

I think Lisbon has a burned secondary, and it burned when she was a child and had to raise her brothers. She does what she has to, and there is no particular joy in any method. She lives in her primary mostly.

The post is long and the hour is late, so I'll do the others another time.

Sorting once upon a time in wonderland

WILL SCARLET: SNAKE/LION Will Scarlet Something I found interesting is that for a thief he hates lying lol and he is terrible at it as well. Must be the lion sec. I have no idea how the merry men thing worked for him.

The snake doesn't need much explanation, he literally cares to help or not depending on whether you're one of his people. He was petrified (sort of) for a while but then immediately latched on to one person (Alice) after she helped him. He doesn't have any problem with doing crimes (except the lying to people who believe in him part) He's the down-to-earth cynic jokey sidekick to Alice the idealistic heroine ! < 3 I actually find it interesting how like, he's a rootable character and other characters say he's 'a good man', but that's only Anastasia and Alice saying that so like hdkjshkj he's a good friend and is amazing to his people! But I find it funny that people think of him in an heroic way when the moment Alice or Anastasia aren't involved he doesn't really care and he likes doing crimes haha. He ocasionally will like do liony choices bc that's what Alice would do and he trusts her but in general he's. just a rogue character who loves his people and I love him.

ALICE: LION/LION

Alice is the hero of this story. She has that liony thing of believing in her self and what she's seen and experienced even when NOBODY else does. Her and Cyrus have that 'you don't need proof for love just belief' idealist thing. She just. Wants to do the right thing it's pretty self explanatory. She has the conflict of being able to get revenge on people she thinks are evil but doesn't because that'd make her like them in her eyes (very liony reasoning). I find it interesting how kid Alice and kid Jafar both want to be seen by their parents... But she finds a lot more people who believe in her and that makes all the difference. (simplifying I know their early lifes are very different but I do think an ally would've changed Jafar's story)

She's a lion secondary! she may have a fun bird sec model bc she does have tools and uses them but it's more like, she knows the world bc she explored it and knows things from that, than actual bird sec. She doesn't plan much and thinks on the spot and is great and figuring out ways of situations like that! love her. She also cares a lot about being genuine and is frustrated when people are like, faking and lying and not being themselves.

CYRUS: LION/BIRD ? Cyrus is kinda hard to grasp as a character to me but he's such an idealist and we don't see him jumping much into stuff, he has 'tricks' but they're tricks that he learned. It's hard though because him being a genie is such a great tool so he could technically rely on that a lot for reasons but actually be an improvisary sec (the only thing we see of him pre-genie is him cheating at cards to scam people which could be something he learned aka bird or something he improvises?) However he just doesn't give off an improvisary vibe for me? He's very measured in his actions. So I'd say bird sec for him. Also I'd say lion because he, like Alice, wants to do the right thing and I get that vibe from him but he could be a bird as well, I just know he's an idealist mr. 'you don't need proof for love only faith'.

JAFAR: LION/bird? His dynamic with Anastasia seems to me like he probably has some improvisary somewhere which gives him an edge over her on some stuff but he also plans like she does. It looks like it was something he learned as an extra to me, more of a tool. Soo I would lean towards lion sec who built a bird secondary with Amara and focused all his being into obtaining power to get what he wants. One of his main traits as a kid was that he was brave and dared to do things that could get him hurt, like going to the sultan or looking at Amara's eyes. I think the whole sultan storyline not only fucks up his primary but also makes him feel like his secondary isn't enough, and we mostly see him being more lion sec as a grown up when he feels completely in control. He's very determined. I guess he could also be a rapid fire bird but idk to me this combo makes more sense. He uses actor bird when he pretends to be Alice's dad and we see him asking so many questions before so he has all the info for the role. Lion primary because he cared so much when he was younger about his dad recognizing him as his son even after (redacted) because that's his identity and his name is very important to him and it's all about principle and it being WRONG that he didn't get his rightful place on the court and the life he was meant to have. He pretends to be a snake for his partner and then goes lol kidding and his decisions are very.. you can tell he feels justified morally in a lion way. His morals get skewed A LOT (I'd say he's maybe exploded?) which makes sense considering *vague gesture at his whole backstory*. He also is very disgusted with Alice bc of the fact she's a young lion prim who didn't have the reality check he feels he had and so he thinks she's too naive and needs to wake up and stop believing in anything being 'right' or 'wrong' in a way that feels very 'I'm projecting' at his young self. The way he reacts to Alice's dad is very much him projecting as well.

ANASTASIA: SNAKE/BIRD (with badger primary model?)

Like Will, Anastasia's motivations are very clear cut, she wants to have a good life with the people she loves. However, she starts out conflicted because she just left her mom and is struggling with this idea of fame and happiness that her mom instilled of her would be her future. I also think this is the first time she's on her own and is young and idealistic about how easy it'll be to survive just the two of them, so finding that it's difficult scared her. I think she had a catherine from wuthering heights moment of, what if I can have both yknow. And then there's a new mother figure who seems to actually care for her, which is what she's always wanted. But anyway she seems to try and build a badger model to try and feel happier after the whole (redacted), but it doesn't work because she's faking it and doesn't truly build connections. She later builds a true badger model and tries to be better after seeing the actual real people she hurt, which works better now because she's doing it while embracing her snake and focusing on individual people rather than just knowing about it from a distance and while being burned AND while thinking there's no point to it because of her plan. Anyway. I don't think you can argue for anything but snake for Anastasia, she would do ANYTHING to get her person back as it's shown and any redeeming behaviour we see from her is connected to her person.

Bird sec bc this girl can't improvise to save her life and plans everything out very long term and is so stressed when something in the plan goes wrong. And she has an actor bird for her queen perfomance (and the way she starts with it is so bird, just repeats a quote from someone else until she gets the right affection).
