a new face on sixth street.

wise x reader || 1k wc

in which wise is very focused on solely his proxy and manager duties, and is definitely not intrigued by your move to sixth street.

note: new blog, new beginnings! it’s been so long since i’ve written anything, i feel like i’ve forgotten how. wise has been rattling around in my head nonstop for the last two weeks, so here’s some indulgence~

a deep breath.

you needed one; lifting boxes to your flat was the most work you’d ever done in your life. mr.chop was helping, for you’d moved into the room just behind his shop, but it was still a bit much.

sitting down on the ground for a break, you scanned your surroundings. so this was sixth street. quite kind, quite warm- it was new, but you had a feeling you’d like it.

opposite to your door seemed to be the side of a shop. what was it? random play?

“har, ya interested in the video shop?”

mr.chop appeared in front of you, snapping you out of your thoughts. you nodded, and his eyes suddenly lit up, seemingly with an idea.

“you know what? you should take a break to meet the managers! they are your age, you know, and- don’t tell them i said this- but they don’t really talk to anyone but each other i think. yes, yes, this will be good! they ordered some noodles too, you can go give it to them. you will be neighbours after all!”

>>-<<

a deep breath.

wise found himself having to take one when he saw the new face in front of him.

he really had no clue why. was it because you were a new customer? the video store’s business was quite fragile, more people meant it was getting better, so naturally he was excited. that was it, right? right?

the girl walked past all the shelves, scanning their contents, but also seemingly looking for something. she had a bag of noodles from mr.chop’s, which smelt eerily like his own favourite flavour.

“can i help you?”

she jumped, with a bewildered look on her face. wise looked at her widened eyes, and the way she held her hands close to her chest in alarm, and found himself needing to take another breath.

“ah, y-yes! i’m looking for the managers of this store. these noodles are for them, mr.chop asked me to bring it to them.”

another breath.

really, what had gotten into him today? was it because she had come looking specifically for him? wait, no, no, what kind of reason was that?! he was the manager of the store, of course people would look for him!

“well, you’re in luck. you are looking at him right now.”

her eyes lit up. “really! i’m [name], it’s nice to meet you. i’ve moved into the flat just next to this store, so in a way, it’s like we’re neighbours! here, take the noodles. they’re fresh, better eat them when their hot.”

wise reached out to grab it from you. for a fraction of a second, the tip of your fingers touched- it could barely be computed as skin contact, and yet wise felt it through his whole system. the pits of his stomach did a flip, his chest nearly jumped! for the goddamn life of him, he couldn’t think of why?

you were having thoughts of your own. who was this guy? he looks so cool, so handsome? his voice is so clear, why’d he stop talking? would getting a membership to this place mean seeing him m-

“thank you for the delivery , miss [name]. my sister and i are really grateful.”

shit, you were still holding your hand out, even though it no longer had the bag! hastily, you put both you hands behind your back, nodding awkwardly.

your mind was blank for things to say, so you looked around. the shelves were stocked with all sorts of movies and records. you could spot your favourites, as well as titles you’d never heard of before.

“it’s a lovely store you’ve got,” you amused. “quite fitting for you, i should think.”

he raised an eyebrow. “oh? what do you mean by that?”

you felt your cheeks heat up. yeah, what did you mean by that?

“it’s just, this store seems cozy and safe, and you have the composure of someone you’d feel like talking to about anything, you know? i mean it in a good way, really! the store gives off the same energy as you do, and anyone could feel your presence here even if you were away.”

he was silent for a couple of seconds. had you said too much? before your thoughts could go overboard, he broke into a soft laugh. it was so crisp, you found yourself wondering if any of the tapes had a recording of it you could loop for hours.

“well, i’m glad i’ve left a good reputation on you, miss [name]. i hope to see you- ahem, your patronage often.”

“right! and i hope to see you around too, mister manager!”

you waved and turned to leave. barely a day in sixth street and your heart already hummed with a new crush. opening the door, the fresh breeze made a poor attempt to cool down the warmth you felt all over. then suddenly, you remembered-

“your name! mister manager, i don’t know your name!”

he had a soft smile, steadfast and enduring. “it’s wise, miss [name]. i was wondering if you wanted to know,” he shook his head, grinning. you mentally cursed at yourself. how could you forget something so basic!

he walked closer, with a movie tape in his hand. you caught a glimpse of it- Life Before the Hollow; presumably a history documentary. his eyes locked with yours, and he stuffed it in your hand. “consider this a welcome gift.”

he seemed to want to say more, but he didn’t.

you inspected the record in your hands, and the boy who gave it to you. you shouldn’t get your hopes up, and yet-

“i guess i have no choice but to come back again now, mister manager wise! you’d best be here when i do!”

Shark Week

Relationship: Remy LeBeau/Gambit x Reader

Fandom: X-Men

Request: Yes by Anon

Warnings: Fluff, Mentions of Insecurities

Word Count: 1,015

Main Masterlist: Here

X-Men Masterlist: Here

Summary: It is the start of shark week for her. No, not like that.

It was the most wonderful time of the year. No, it was not Christmas. Far from it actually. It was the middle of July, but it was the best time of year according to a certain someone. That certain someone that dragged Remy into her shenanigans no matter how sharky they got.

Yes, it was finally time. It was shark week. The entire school knew what the next seven days entailed. She was not leaving her room for anything other than necessities, and she would be making her boyfriend watch it with her. But Remy did not complain. In fact, he liked that she was so passionate about these creatures. They had their own rituals and routines for these days that had become second nature after all these years. In the beginning however, things were not so smooth. But, like most things, with time and practice, they became better and easier.

During the day on Sunday before the programming started at eight, the couple made their way to the aquarium, where they spent all the time they had in the shark and whale exhibit. While they were there, she would be spouting off random facts about the animals while the Cajun listened intently.

“Did you know that while their actual name is Zambezi, they’re commonly called Bull sharks because of their noses being so squared off and rounded as opposed to pointed like most other sharks? They also get bull from the amount of testosterone in their bodies, making them one of the most aggressive animals on the planet.”

“Beluga whales are known as the canaries of the sea because of the chirping sounds they make. They sound like the little songbirds when they talk.”

All the while, Gambit was smiling and nodding along with the new information being supplied to him. He would follow after her, never pushing her to go faster, with a hand on the small of her back. He enjoyed being able to watch her like this. In her element. She watched the animals move in the water with awe and admiration. With a couple of hours left till the coverage started, they began to make their way back to the mansion so that she could get all cozy and ready for her week to start.

Shark blankets and whale pillows littered their bed. She wore a whale shark onesie so that she could have the best of both worlds and did not pick a side. On their walls were framed pictures from famous photographers of her beloved creatures. Her lover was just returning with snacks and beverages when they got to the ten minute mark on the timer.

“Perfect timing, beau. Got a few minutes to spare. I’m so excited for this year’s shows. They all look super cool. At least they aren’t doing those mocumentaries anymore. Those ruined their years.” She rambled, setting up her tray with everything that she was going to indulge in for the evening. He just chuckled as he helped her set up her sharky little nest.

Chips and dips were in matching, attached bowls to make for easier handling. Bags of regular chips and candies were disposed of in favor of adding them to a few party trays that they had for this specific reason. Their mini fridge housed their favorite drinks so that nether would have to go too far away in order to collect them. All of the dishes, the cups, even some of the food was shark and whale themed. And everyone in the mansion knew; never touch the items unless they wanted to deal with a grumpy girl and her defensive boyfriend.

“All for you, chere. Now, le’s hope dat da X-Men don’ need us dis week. Gambit could use a week off, ya know?” Once they were done, he laid down in the bed with her to enjoy their time together. He was dressed in normal clothing, although he had been convinced to wear a cut off T-shirt that had a shark on it. Although, the shirt did have a Mardi Gras theme, so he was alright with obliging his lover.

“Ooo! It’s starting!” She exclaimed gleefully, shaking in her spot just a bit. He laughed once more at how excited she got, and then they turned to the programming.

It was a healthy obsession, one that did not hurt anyone. And it was a give and take. She got this week to dictate what they did in their free time, and he got a week of his choosing during the rest of the year to do the same. A fair bargain that worked for them. As he relaxed further into the mass of themed pillows on their bed, she snuggled into his side, placing the food on top of their legs.

“Thank you, Remy,” came her whisper.

“Whatcha thankin’ Gambit for, chere?”

“For doing this with me. I know I tend to take over when it comes to these animals, so I appreciate you indulging me with this.” Her words were slightly muffled as she hurried herself further into his side.

“Chere,” Remy pressed a kiss to her head through the hood that was up, “ain’t no problem to let you have your thing. I love seeing you like this, so if dat means lettin’ you take over for a week? So be it. Everyone has their thing.”

After that, there were no more words as the science began playing out across their screen. But her heart felt so full as she processed her boyfriend’s words. Her love for oceanic creatures was something that she had since she was a girl, but sometimes it scared people away when they realized how much she loved them. But not Remy. He stuck through every aquarium date, every factoid, and every shark week. Even if she got insecure about her obsession from time to time, he would remind her that it was okay. Everyone teased her for it, but Remy was always right there to reassure her.

She had nothing to be sorry for. This she now knew, and believed, wholeheartedly.

my very long, very thought out, and hopefully not the worst costume analysis on all the main/support characters on school spirits, hope you enjoy <3 (spoilers though if you havent finished season 2 and dont want spoilers dont read)(also this is like not official at all im just a random person who talks like i know things i dont)

School Spirits ; a tv shows made by paramount about a girl who maybe died and now is hanging out with all the school ghosts while her living friend, that somehow she can see, tries to solve her murder and/or save her. Its a circumstance that lends us to really creative and fun costume choices, but as its a smaller production company AND for a YA genre show, im guessing they had a bit of a shoestring budget for the costumes. But you would never know, because they did phenomenal with what they had.

Before I go further, I want to take a moment of appreciation for the creative team (sorry creative team i know yall generally dislike being mentioned but im doing it anyways because ur cool and i love costume teams <3333). per imdb, the main costume designers are Beverley Huynh and Rebekka Sorensen-Kjelstrup. The rest of the costume / wardrobe department is made up of an assistant designer Karley Schroyen, costume coordinator Fiona Roberts, asst. Costume coordinator Elysha Low, costumers Lindsay Gjertsen, Lily Quirin, Megan Kennedy, and then my favorite spot, the buyer Melissa Sharon David, who does not appear in credits but is on imdb. There is also the set supervisors but tbh im unsure why they’re listed in the wardrobe section since thats generally a stage management position, except the set supervisor, whos job it is to keep the costumes looking like they’re meant (no letting actors near it with messy snacks essentially), and thats Kayla Irwin. Also the production designer is Charlie Campbell, whose basically the one in charge of overall vision. These are the names you should think of when appreciating the costumes. if youre complaining about them though its totally fine to forget their names i'd even encourage it <3

With the people that helped make the costumes acknowledged and thanked, lets move on to their actual creations. The ghost lend more interesting analysis, but even the living students still have interesting choices made in their costuming. Order will be ghosts > crossovers > living - character by character, in time order

Janet, 1958 -

Janet. Where do i begin with this little menace. Probably the disconnect between her outfits and where we see her in most of the show. From the 1950s, she dresses to fit the mold. A peter pan collar, perfectly pressed. A golden sweater, for the golden child (bought or made by her grandmother ofc). The 50’s silhouette, the just begging to leave behind the shirtwaist silhouette in favor of mod (which we will get to with dawn!). She does change a few times, but shes almost always in a golden yellow top, and when shes not she is in starkly different blue and green, which we only see prior to her death, showing just how much of her was stolen in her death, reflecting what we see in the scars through clothing. Generally though, shes in yellow when around Mr. Martin. Green and blue plus red and orange makes yellow. Janet pre fire + fire, = yellow. Just an interesting notice. She looks cute in a headband i hope they put her in more next season.

Shes a smart girl, so shes technically breaking barriers and such, but she doesn’t personally want to be doing that, just, wants to do science. And her clothing reflects this. She follows all of the rules, just, also is smart. Shes not trying to ‘break the rules of society’, and that adds a really nice juxtaposition to the ghost version of her, who very much has reached her limit and is breaking just about any rule her ghost self is able to!

Future scientist Janet, a girl not wanting to rock the boat, that manages to naturally be so talented that she rocks the boat. Three times, in death, s1 finale, and the literal boat scene in s2. No matter how she tries she cant help but rock the boat. No matter how she tries to fit in and where the acceptable clothes, she will always have, and always wear, her lab coat. So excited to see where they take her character.

Mr. Martin, 1958 -

Sigh. Classically dressed for a teacher of the time. His sweaters may have been considered a bit much. But he really just leans into the socials structure and rules of the time (which make sense they died at the tail end of the first red scare so its unsurprising that he is dressing per the ‘classic american’ figure). Outside of that he kind of just looks like a generic d.c. villain. And i really don’t want to think about him too much. So im skipping him and leaving you with just what is already covered.

Actually… maybe the mcarthyism aesthetic on him was fully intentional. Maybe that was the point. I keep looking at images and even his hair is styled that way. He is dressed in perfect propogandistic americana outfit for the time. Which could be reflective of him, a farce for a caring teacher. One that first killed his prized and favorite student and also the one holding them back from crossing over in an attempt t o study, constantly sacrificing students for his ego. Just (symbolically) like the country at the time. Interesting.

Rhonda, 1963 -

Rhonda my darling, my television counterpart. I’ve left her for last to write about. Shes the one that brings me the most difficulty to analyze. Its like looking in a weird mirror. Am i a bit baffled we didnt get a proper mod 60s ghost? Yeah. I can make due though.

Rhonda’s got a very serious shell. Shes from a time of chaos, and had one of the most world shattering deaths, only doubling down on the need to have a shell, to protect herself. And as she manages to find her way back into trusting people, letting them in, letting the shell lapse, she will probably either lose bits (say the hat) or just change clothes, add things on with more color, like the lollipop. She wants to connect, deeply, but shes been burned too many times. And shes self aware of this. She knows its all a performance to keep herself in a bit of a bubble. In a way i think she would really get along with claire over this, xavier as well.

Additionally, she was mourning. Herself. Her friends. She thought everyone hated her, that they thought she brought it on herself. It took multiple steps, including her accidentally summoning a (to be)girlfriend, and then said (to be)girlfriend going the extra mile to prove to her that, no. they blamed themselves, her killer, but not her. And with that, she was able to get back one thing that was crucial to her living - music. What is a beatnik if not writing poems if not in a basement listening to people tell stories and then writing about that. And she now feels like she can get that back, without a crippling guilt or pain always there to creep up behind her. Because shes heard the second verse now. And maybe just maybe we’ll see more of a ‘greaser’ version of her (pink jacket), one with a bit more confident and creativity to her, now that she knows she can let it back in. which will hopefully be the start of her letting others back in and being on her merry way to crossing over (but not before we get some sapphic time please)

Dawn, 1972 -

I’m fairly certain Dawn only has one outfit, so this will be entirely about that one, its also one of the ones i’ve seen off set so I can judge on materials and stuff as well :). Dawn is a hippie. No question about that. But notably, shes a hippie in the tail end. Shes holding onto it. From 1974 on the style just about flickered out of popularity, almost like dawn was the start of the end (not literally but symbolically). Her outfit is also one of the least time accurate on the show, but i can let it pass (still time accurate but if we were going for iconography of the time shes not in it).

Shes got a lovely bright orange pair of pants on, they’re very much a modern pair and not a then pair but this is not a historical so it doesn’t matter they’re cute. You never really see it in the show but shes got a white longsleeve crop shirt on, but it has a little blue design in the middle of it, which can be seen on the actresses tiktok. I think they just ended up liking the monochrome orange on her so they block that part of the shirt. Then an orange fringe vest and an orange bandana on her head, paired with her orange hair. We are clearly going with the color orange to symbolize the 70s.

Dawn, in life and death, just floating about. Just having a good time. Being a sweetie, but not thinking too hard. The inverse to rhonda in a way (who is thinking and only being friendly to a point). In death she just wanted to be appreciated. To be seen. And her highlighter orange represents that, and when she is seen, she leaves a trail of highlighter orange flowers. To forever be seen, to be left floating about, bringing joy for eternity via little flowers.

Yuri, 1977 -

Time to talk about our resident stoner. Yuri, who kept up a con of not talking to anyone for damn near 40 years, only top give it up when a cute guy walks in. adore it. Lets see if i can connect that to his costume.

He is quite literally just in jeans and a long-sleeve. I have no idea if there is any design on the shirt, because his lovely apron covers it. It works great for the con, and he does get to spend all of his time just making things out of clay, which is very much great for him (as he is a lover of making things out of clay). I do unfortunately think that yuri has the same fallpoints Quinn does, in that we just don’t know enough in order to properly dissect him.

But, if i were to reach, as someone who spends all his time at the pottery wheel, making things, he is good at molding people. Helping people become what they are. A character fully dedicated to helping others, building up others. Im sure theres also aspects of ruining them, as you restart projects or reuse their materials, but we have yet to see that. I’d anticipate that the path we expect Yuri to go down in the future is exploring how to create himself. Who he is when not creating. What his self worth may be when separated from his creations, and the impact that will have emotionally on him.

There’s an aspect to Yuri that is very messy, unfinished. Not as an insult but in a way of, forever being worked on. An unfinished project. He really is like the embodiment of pottery which is so cool and odd well done to everyone involved there. There’s also a separation though - a using of the clay to separate to put a line between. In so many scenes his arm is covered in clay. He hides away in it, avoiding, everything. Theres something to that and I hope they explore it.

Wally, 1983 -

Ah waldo. Wal… idk i havent come up with fun versions of his name like roriculous(rory williams/pond) yet, i will though. His costume was the one to spark this whole idea, something about the stupid simplicity of a sweat set really got to me. Also really want to see it on Ruby Cruz but that just me being really gay.

Wally. 80s jock football player turned absolute teddy bear. And they managed to visually address that. By just taking off the football uniform, and putting milo in that fuck ass sweat set. Im tempted to not even write anything else, it just gets to the point so well. What else is there to say, rehash the scene with charley, the scene at the start with maddie telling him how to flirt with her? Ive never seen a character more perfectly represented by their costume. AND ITS SO SIMPLE. Like. costume dept yall really did so good with this.

Everything we see him wear; outside of the uniform itself; is soft. Soft hoodies, soft armbands. They’re all fuzzy and fluffy. The uniform itself is, plastically, it has a metallic shine. Completely opposite of everything else we see him in. Just like how he has truly grown. He has shaken the bad societal taught aspects of his personality and become the living (dead) teddy bear that we all know him to be. But he still knows how to be a big bear. Protecting his friends, using his bear-ness (go with the metaphor please) in the scar to block and protect Charley, nearly repeating his death events. Hes such a fun character i adore him so much. I’m really glad they got a theatre boy for his actor, it adds that perfect angle to make it believable.

Mina, 1987 -

I’m going to say too much about her and you’re not going to believe me unless you also have worked in a theater. You’ve been warned <3

Mina, our lovely little catwalk ghost. She’s been in what, one scene? Two? Regardless, i love her. To start - a moment to learn. Stage lights are really fucking heavy and bulky. They’re on average like a foot tall, about 15 pounds at lightest. Heavier in the 80s. Additionally, they go about 100 feet up. And safety cables? Only added around the 80s. I’d imagine the school cheaped out and didn’t get them, leading to Minas death in 87. She has a line about someone not tightening it or something but that is quite literally what the safety cable is for - just in case.

Her death outfit is one of the coolest fits you could wear as a techie. Shes got every damn tool she could need. Truly that outfit is incredible for her job. Every theatre has a joke or rumor about a ghost, one that protects or takes care of the theatre. And you take them seriously, just to be safe. Shes a great representation of that. As someone who spent many an hour in the catwalks of my schools theatre, they did her perfectly. And im glad shes out looking over the rest of the students, i appreciate her fictional self. Luv her and her techie fit <3 (also note - her hair is up. Who on the crew designed her shes perfect i love her)

Charley, 1995 -

CHARLEY, what a lovebug. I adore charley. I already covered him a touch in the og post about this; but - charley fully exists within the 90s vibe, and the way the oversized clothing that was all the rage at the time ends up existing as a way to showcase how in death, he learned how to take up space. To be himself. That he can be loved while being himself. To be fully himself.

The classic 90s oversized boxy t-shirt. Tucked into the also oversized bulky jeans, with the bulky cuff. Big glasses. Big denim jacket. His eyebrows!! Even his hair is reaching for the sky! Everything about Charley is trying so hard to take up space. But as we know, he wasn’t able to do it in life. The scene of his scar, himself being his biggest hater. He seems to hate how much space he wants to take up. Hates how instinctively he takes it up. But in death, thanks to the other ghosts, he becomes a version of himself that he lets, happily, take up that space. He becomes the first ghost to talk to maddie, quite literally putting himself out there as much as he possibly could, being the first to talk to the new girl.

Then we see him start to fully step into that, fully learn to trust himself and love himself, enough that he is able to (like rhonda) basically summon himself a boyfriend. Its like the school gave him a lil present for the character growth. But essentially we get to see him not only realize this aspect within himself (learning to take up space) but he also begins to help Yuri with it as well, or at least begins to help Yuri, exist, as a ghost, rather than just a life locked away in a tower (greenhouse).

Quinn, 2004 -

Y’all quinn is only ever in the band uniform. So all i can really do is address within that context… so, forgive me if this one is shorter.

Quinn, after dying on the bus for a band event, stuck playing on the grounds with the rest of the band. Only awoken when a pretty girl (Rhonda) screams and begs for them to wake up. (star crossed lovers if i’ve ever seen it). Clearly much of Quinn’s perception of herself is based on being in the band, being part of it, one of many making up a larger group. Just switched out band for being a member of the scooby doo squad. I want to attribute the blue to quinn just being a soft and sweet person, but i worry im reaching with that, as its just the school colors. Shes just a little band dork idk i love her but we just don’t know enough about her yet I don’t think.

But, in an effort to reach regardless, Quinn being stuck in the band uniform is similar to wally being stuck in his football uniform - they both threw their lives into these orgs, wally for others, but as far as I can tell, Quinn for herself. Quinn was very quiet and slow to join the group, maybe in band she was able to pretend to not be real, similar to how they still remain essentially frozen. And in breaking out of that, and joining the other ghosts, she realizes she can be as loud as her instrument herself, be that much. Similar to charley, in finding himself and taking up space. Her hair is kind of reflective of this as well, with the ends being curly and voluminous and her bangs laying flat, like she wants to be voluminous but is used to staying within her marks. Its guesswork but I think its text supported.

~The living are less fun to analyze sorry about worse analysis~

Maddie -

Our lovely lead <3 i still really dont get the hair choice ; but i’ll do my best. I tried to notice during the show if this outfit was a one off, or if maddie dresses like this daily, and honestly, I don't know, despite actively trying to figure it out. Which means most likely - maddie just really doesn't care about clothing, about presentation. Shes the natural opposite to Claire in that way, which parallels nicely to their childhood flashbacks, maddie saying no because everything was already a mess but claire having to let down the facade to ask for help.

Simple camisole, red flannel (proper flannel not the thin ones that does matter; she knows quality clothing shes not shopping fast fashion), black jeans. A real basic and simple combo for a basic day of school. It sets Maddie up in the first episode to just be a normal teenage girl, albeit, one going through a lot. I mean, shes dead after all.

Im certain the bob means something. Its such a particular bob. Not french length, not shoulder length, its not even jaw or chin length. Its like she badly cut it herself the week before (only the week before because any more before and it would be longer). Maybe shes growing out a pixie? Im just very perplexed by that choice.

But yeah, the core of her costuming is just to solidify how normal / kind of sad she is as a person (as in emotion). Shes busy taking care of so many others that she forgets to take care of herself. Its literally her scar, throwing herself away to save others that can’t be saved. Hers is one of the most on-the-nose costumes, but thats because shes the main character.

Simon -

Simon is always (for what we see on the show) going thru it. He does not have time to think about his clothes that much; and yet - hes always dripped out. Hes got very good style. Its simple and subdued, but very nice. Linens, soft natural fabrics. A man of taste.

I want to focus on the jacket he wears sometimes, hes a very practical guy. A warm jacket, a jacket ready for just about any weather. Snow, rain, wind, anything. Which is very reflective of him as a character. He is very level headed, very stable, reliable, a guy who can handle just about anything you throw at him. Just about. Which is where the little white fur bits on the collar come in. that stuff is GREAT when its cold. Its also icky as hell when its wet. You touch just the wrong nerve, push him just tooo far, and he will crash. He will snap, he will become that sticky-static-gross that sherpa gets when wet. However. When it dries. Its good to go again! Back to ol reliable. Just him when he lost it for a minute there when he thought he was hallucinating Maddie.

He actually has multiple of these, it seems. A brown/black and a red, at least. Im going to take the two as an indicator of/for the finale and how S2 ended. How he would be the 2nd. How he would be the next to exist both within the living and among the dead. 2’s all around. I really don’t know the order he wears them in, which would be very helpful, but theres something there about having red so clearly on him, marking him as the heart and soul of the show. Someone with so much love that it bleeds onto his clothing. The black jacket representing him trying to not be such a caring guy but failing dramatically (thankfully, since its part of what makes him so lovable).

Xavier -

I mean how much is there to say about a grumpy emo boy in grumpy emo boy clothes. They have him dressed like a modern day dean winchester (which is funny and fitting because one of his previous co-workers played young dean for a bit there; degrassi fans im sorry for the sad-jumpscare with that one). But if I must be serious (and I must I know myself) ;

He’s never in less than three layers. Thick layers at that. He really doesn’t let people in. Always in dark clothes, always trying to hide himself. This is extra obvious when paired with the nicole-band-secret-texting situation. Even when hes being himself hes still hiding himself. Its likely what caused him and Claire to even bond in the first place, both constantly hiding their problems in corners. He’s not putting any effort into his styling. Except he is. He has perfected the art of looking like hes not trying - i’d assume because his dad would chastise him for trying.

Even the fact that he hardly blinks ends up being a costuming choice, because his open eyes are just present at all times. Hes both always thinking and never thinking. Ever presently detached from his body. Which only comes to matter more towards the end of season 2, with him literally acting as the go between, being able to separately see the living and dead. The non-blinking-ness turned into symbolism for his existence in between the two planes. Not dead and yet not living. Forever stuck where things ended, when maddie ended. I really do love his character, and i’m happy to see people coming around to his grumpy ass. Not to be classic but I do think hes a classic example of an onion style character, layers on layers. So many layers that he has found himself as the conduit between not only life and death, living and dead, but locations. He is how we will know about other ghosts. Hes connecting them to a larger map.

Nicole -

This is the first living student I am working on, which means they have purchasing power! They have multiple outfits! More to analyze. Nicole is always seen in bright colors, big fabrics. She similarly to Charley likes visually taking up space. Unlike Charley, she is also very confident and is able to do that in her life as well. She often catches hate from the audience, due to her very large personality (frankly y’all are too mean in general towards her shes only mildly annoying). Practical clothing, despite the patterns. Almost always jeans and a sweater. Shes a girl with a plan, and shes gonna make sure she can do it.

I think there’s a balance to Nicole, one that without Maddie is off. And i think thats emphasized in the clothing choices. With simons simple, subdued clothes, and Nicole's bright and loud clothes, Maddie's dark and grumpy-ness balances all of that out, rounds out the group. The same likely applies in their personalities, with Maddie normally being the glue between them (thank god for xavier taking that place a small bit). Theres generally a bit less to analyze with the living because well, they are still figuring themselves out, whereas the ghosts have mostly had decades.

Nicole wants to care. She wants to help. But she can get in her own way with that. (blue covered in brown outfits multiple times, muting her own personality + care) Think about when you wear something just a bit too bulky or just too large and you lose the ability to move your arms right. I think that happens to her. Inverse of Charley almost. She doesn’t know how to contain all of her personality, much less direct it in the way she wants to. She’s really funny so im trying to find a tie in with the clothes but im not finding one. Its there. I just can’t see it.

Claire -

Claire loves purple. Shes always in it. Like nicole, attention is something she knows how to command. Like Charley, it might not be done intentionally. She looks as if she tends to just pick cute and comfortable clothes, little thought going in to how others would see it. (she just has good taste; paired with the way she acts, shes doing it for herself not others). The whole way she treats being on the cheer squad and all seems like a self aware performance. She knows shes always performing for others, so she just, is gonna do it well and on her terms, type of thing. Even her hair and makeup - its like the inverse of Mr martin. Shes not ‘following’ any of the classic ��cheerleader’ rules. Big eyeliner, big eyeshadow, shes gonna be herself and damn anyone that stops her. Unless they're dying, ofc, because shes an absolute sweetheart at heart, just with a bit of a tough exterior (except not really, as can be seen with her eyeshadow. its big, but its soft and glossy). If anything, I think shes the most emblematic of a classic ‘2010s’ or ‘2020s’ style, which actually concerns me. She’d have a VERY interesting death plot if they were to go there.

Claire is like the only fully put together member of the living characters, and I think that aspect of her clothing is very reflective of her personality. She’s not originally in the friend group. Shes from a different area of the school, basically. And visually, per her clothing, you can tell that. She dresses like a ~normal person~ insta account. Shes holding all of her together with the visuals. Hiding all the bad. Hiding any issues she may have behind a perfectly crafted outfit. And she does it very well. She is incredible at hiding her difficulties. And i would imagine that that will end up being part of where her story goes as (assuming) the show continues.

Batman Rogues & Defending Trans/NB Reader from a Transphobe

Characters: Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Scarecrow, Riddler, Mad Hatter

Word Count: Approx. 550

TW: Implied that Reader was misgendered/ridiculed for their gender presentation & now the rogues are gonna get revenge for it.

A/N: These are super short but the sentiment is the point. They may be bad guys but even bad guys will use your preferred pronoun. (Don’t tell me they’re all OOC, I literally do not care. It’s my page and I’ll write what I want!)

Poison Ivy:

Does not hesitate to kill/poison ppl with her plants on a regular day, so you can bet she’s more than happy to do it to any pos harassing you.

Calls them an ignorant parasite before coiling them up in her vines.

Shrugs her shoulders while flipping her gorgeous red hair and tells you not to worry.

“Bigots are more useful as fertilizer, anyway.”

⋆

Harley Quinn:

She whacks ‘em with her giant hammer until they apologize. (Sometimes they pass out first, but that’s not her fault.)

If she doesn’t have her hammer, she sets her Hyenas on ‘em. She loves it when her laughter combined with her hyenas' laughs slowly drown out those of your tormentors.

“Aw, what’s the matter? Fellas don’t feel like laughing no more? Well that’s too bad, ‘cuz, I’ve got one hell of a punchline for ya!”

⋆

Catwoman:

She sneaks into their home later and steals their prized possession.

Gets extremely petty and personal with it. Half the time it’s not even an item of financial gain, just a personal one.

There’s a box in your apartment filled with random devices, stuffed animals, and photo albums. (One time she even stole a guy’s cat.)

“What? It’s not my fault the cat likes me better. They’re great judges of character after all.”

⋆

Scarecrow:

Oh, he uses his fear gas on them 100%.

But he may not do it right in the moment. He prefers to have his goons grab them later and bring the asshole back to his lab so the both of you can have some fun.

He enjoys watching them sob and cower, and he orders them to apologize to you. Hearing their fearful whimpers as you stand tall in their presence makes him love you all the more.

“Fret not, my dear. Soon enough, they will be sniveling glories in your name. I will make sure of it.”

⋆

Riddler:

He’s not one for immediate physical confrontation but before those fuckers know it, he’s hacked their phone/car/computer- any device they own.

He’s incredibly intelligent, patient, and vindictive, so he likes to play the long game in fucking them over.

It all culminates in sending them on some wild goose chase. He forces them to don a black and white prisoner costume as they navigate his riddles, all the while letting them think they have an actual chance at winning, but of course, that’s never the case. He likes taunting them over speaker right before he finishes them off:

“What’s black, white, and red all over? Think quick…You!” *queue bomb collars*

⋆

Mad Hatter:

He doesn’t get why people can’t just let other people live! Ugh! He hates it when assholes shit on his parade, and he will not stand for them doing it to his partner.

He uses mind control to humiliate them, and torture them- convince them that they’re living with body and gender dysmorphia themselves- so they can see how they like it.

He releases them after a while, enjoying the effect the fallout will have on their social life and mental status. (It’s a little fucked up to fight transphobia with more, just different transphobia, but the guy’s got a few marbles loose so…)

“I’ll make them pay. They can’t belittle our Wonderland and get away with it!”

A/N: Are they short? Yes. Did I proofread? No. Do I care? Also no. The bottom line is that hate will have no home here on my blog.

On today’s instalment of random ass EJ stuff…

Braids ~ EJ’s Culture

Here is the post where i show a few more pictures.

The thing is, these braids are a sign of age and experience.

For a long time, EJ refused to wash its hair because he thought humans wouldn’t be able to put them back and it’s very difficult for him to do it. There are different braids in different positions with metal charms that mean different things. So, he didn’t mess with em. His hair got stimpky asf and Liu had to beg him to wash his fucking hair!!

A lot of the charms and braids seem to revolve around ruts/heats. The truth of the matter is that their hair is what makes their ages obvious- unlike humans, they can be understandably mistaken for a child. (It’s more often that other demons will try to eat them because they’re older or will try to snatch them if they’re younger) it is the equivalent of turning 18

There are “Rules”

❌ Cutting it

❌ Dying it

❌ Shaping it (straightening, curling, etc)

❌ Pulling the charms out

❌ Pulling it out

✅ Having hair ties

✅ Changing braid styles

✅ Undoing the braids temporarily

✅ Using headbands to pull small strands out

Styles and Orders

The order(s) of the braids are really important. Since they show the age and experience of the individual, the placement is everything!

Full Styles

(0) Center: He usually is wearing that style, with the experience braids behind his ears.

(I) Locks: usually done for occasions like holidays in Hydra. It is meant to give a sort of casual style, I guess. This is also used for children.

(II) Box Braids: these are typically seen as formal, but EJ prefers them over the locks. These are meant to be for older demons, but not old-old demons, yk?

(III) Corn Rows: this kind of hair is reserved for only older demons. EJ isn’t allowed to use this style.

Maturity Braids

(I) French: these braids are again for super old demons. EJ can’t use em.

(II) Fishtail: offspring

(III) Twist: stages of growth

(IV) Spaced: mating and mating cycles

“Charms” on the Braids

Age Bands

Rings of silver or gold that circle around the braid. They always go on the Twist braids. These show development rather than a number. (Material, number of rings)

(Silver, 1) hair is long enough to have braids

(Silver, 2) killed some thing by themselves

(Silver, 3) tail is grown out/solid

(Gold/Rose Gold, 1) can rut/go into heat, but not old enough to do so

(Gold/Rose Gold , 2) has had a rut/heat

(Iron + Crystals, 3) rocks/spikes have formed around their frame **FULLY GROWN

Experience Charms (Orange/yellow circles)

(I) has had a rut

(II) has had a rut with a partner

(III) has had children

(IV) has been a parent/cared for a child

Mental Maturity (Blue circles)

(I) is old enough to fight/defend themselves and has shown an act of mercy

(II) has learned regular practices of mutual respect

⬆️ Sisterlucifergraphics

Damn this took a while, huh?

Well! Here ya go lmao

My Dr. Sozonius LORE Headcanons

✨Warning this is a bit long✨

Sozo is a character that has lived for a very long time. Whatever that mushroom was on their head not only influenced Sozo but kept them immortal. We know really nothing bout Sozos past so I made some headcanons for silly fun and for me to visualize who Sozo was and what his life may have looked like. I want to do my best to keep this as game accurate as possible, so there will be quotes from the game. The quotes are not at all in order! I kinda just bring up random Sozo quotes as I go. Also I apologize if this doesn't make sense or if I ramble (I get excited about certain topics)

thank you so much @7moonbird for going over and editing this for me, Love ya Pookie!

And so we start:

Sozonius was born in the days of the old faith. He was present the day the Bishops declared the genocide of the lambs and he actually played a big part in assisting the lambs survival. However, he almost got caught and had to stop helping the lambs to keep his family safe. He's never seen any of the bishops(maybe) but his village was part of Darkwood and therefore under Bishop Leshy’s ruling.

VILLAGE

Sozonius village was mostly a colony of Carpenter Ants, there were a few other species living there too but it was mostly Carpenter Ants. I imagine there are different races of ants depending on the region they’re in; so there could be fire ants, pharaoh ants, and more! Most ants get along nicely and work together but sometimes other races of ants can be more temperamental and cause conflict between colonies. Carpenter ants are a more calm type of ants, they aren't aggressive but they are incredibly strong. Carpenters ants are known to live in trees; they hollow out trees to make their homes and they like to stay off the ground as much as possible in case of floods and other dangers.

In the colony they had their ruler, the “Queen,” who looked over the village and did queenly business (not gonna go too deep into it). Everyone had many different jobs, ants are hard workers and very strong. They made marvelous structures, farmed a lot of crops, and knew how to work together when there was a threat. Sozo’s village was one that many others would try making deals/trades with. I would talk more about his village but that's not why y’all are here lol.

Sozonius was a fellow damn near everyone in the village knew. He loved his work and he loved to talk about it to anyone that expressed that they wanted to listen. He was that guy that you could get stuck in a conversation with and struggle to end it. He liked to ramble about his work and kids. Other than that though he never really started conversations with others, he would keep to himself unless someone interacted with him.

And I could definitely see him having a science rival but nothing too bad lol.

FAMILY

“Where am I…? Where is… my family…?” are the words Sozo says when he turns back into Dr. Sozonius. I like to think he had a wife and two children. They didn’t have the best marriage but they made it work out for their two sons. His wife was a bit stubborn and very honest. She would say things before thinking which did cause issues, but Sozonius let it slide because he loved her so much and wanted a happy family for his sons.

Sozonius was a very funny dude. He made dad jokes all the damn time, his family would pretend to hate the jokes but in reality they did love them.

Sozo Dialogue “Now all Sozo can think about is mushrooms, mushrooms, MUSHROOMS… They don’t leave mush-room for anything else! Ha!”

(Also, this next idea is inspired off of @kuphulwho headcanons for Sozo. I loved her ideas and I recommend y'all look at her headcanons too!) Aside from Sozonius being a mycologist he had a side hobby of art! He wasn't the best artist, but he was really talented with sketching plants/fungi, he liked to make art of anything that interested him. He most likely wrote an educational picture book about Fungi, there's probably an old copy of it somewhere.

This art hobby caught the interest of his two sons, and they also started to pursue art. Sozonius would take his free time teaching his sons how to draw plants and such. Sozonius would hang his kids' art everywhere in their house, it was like walking into an art museum haha.

JOB

Sozonius studied mycology which means he studied fungi. Sozonius knew fungi could benefit his society and he wanted to help educate others about the importance of fungi. Soon he learned enough of a new discovery of mushroom people, neither plant nor animal…Sozonius then made the decision to go on a solo mission to study the Mushroomo people.

THE MUSHROOMOS

Dr. Sozonius Dialogue “My name is Dr. Sozonius. I was researching the Mushroomos that live in Spore Grotto… strange creatures, Neither animal nor plant…”

Sozonius went to Spore Grotto and at first, he studied the Mushroomo people from a distance setting up a campsite near the Mushroomo Village. When the Mushroomo people discovered Sozonius they welcomed him into their home, cheerful happy little things. Sozonius was given the chance to learn more about these strange creatures up close! How could he say no? Sozonius was welcomed into Spore Grotto and was treated like a god.

Sozonius asked the Mushroomos many questions, but getting any actual answers from them was difficult. The Mushroomos treated Sozonius like he was their most special guest, they danced and sang for Sozonius. They would mimic Sozonius and follow him around, making sure to do anything he asked of them. There would be many times when the Mushroomos would offer to feed Sozonius menticide mushrooms but Sozonius knew a lot about fungi and declined their offers. However, there seemed to be a special Ritual the Mushroomos took part in…

Sozonius had been in Spore Grotto for many weeks now, it was time for him to leave, he had studied enough and was ready to return home but the Mushroomos were surprisingly sad when he announced this. They wanted to show Sozonius a sacred ritual to them before he left, he wasn't aware of the menticide mushrooms being part of it…

Dr. Sozonius Dialogue “They gave me Menticide Mushrooms, and then… that’s the last thing I remember…”

After Sozonius was tricked into eating menticide mushrooms and also gave Sozonius a crown, a crown that would grow into Sozoniuss mind, he shall be the Mushroomos leader… And the new Sozo was made. (literally just think of Ice Age 2 when the lil sloths take Sid to be their fire king, however they don't sacrifice him)

The mushroom on Sozos head is very powerful, it makes me wonder what it is exactly, it gives the person wearing it immortality, but also causes the user to go insane (don't forget that Sozo is also being fed menticide mushrooms) the mushroom crown kinda reminds me of Chemachs crown. It seems to have a mind of its own and a face. I feel like the Mushroomos for days straight made sure to give Sozo a diet of only menticide mushrooms to make him forget everything and to possibly power the mushroom crown. They would constantly tell Sozo that his mind would be open and free, that it would make him feel better, and Sozo being under the influence of the mushroom listened to them.

A Mushroomo Dialogue "Once you taste the Menticide Mushroom your mind will be opened."

As the years went by so did all the sanity Sozonius had left, but in some moments Sozonius seems to still be aware but not all there.

Sozo Dialogue “Sozo had friends... Followers... family... now Sozo has mushrooms..."

Sozo over time seems to start to dislike his followers and call them liars. He even becomes quite cruel to his followers. Yet he also mentions that he trusts the lamb and wants the lamb to protect him from his followers which makes me believe that Sozonius is somehow a little aware and fighting against the mushroom crown’s influence. He is mad at the Mushroomos for lying to him, tricking him, making him into who he is now.

Sozo Dialogue “No need to thanks Sozo. Build it at your Cult then come back to me. Sozo shall grant you one last gift. Sozo is always fair. Always repays this debts. Not like those LIARS out there."

"You did it! Now I know I can trust you... not like those nasty liars outside. They are always watching, always listening! Here take this. You are Sozo's best friend, you are Sozo's only friend."

"Sozo can trust you now, Sozo will pledge himself to you! You will protect me from those liars outside and bring Sozo mushrooms!"

(Also a side note that my gf brought to my attention last second lol! Apparently parasitic mushrooms rely on insects to spread. That is probably why they tricked Sozonius into staying and eating menticide mushrooms. Maybe it's been that long since they've seen an insect)

SOZOS IMPRISONMENT

So, this next little headcanon of mine is an interesting one and might be confusing to explain. Was Sozonius imprisoned within his own mind while under the control of the mushroom crown? If he was, I can see him being stuck in a sort of loop, imagining his family and friends. Think like Mabel's Bubble from ‘Gravity Falls’ weirdmageddon. Sozonius is trapped in a mental bubble, stuck in a false reality as the now mushroom-infected Sozo takes over his body and actions.

In Sozonius’s mental bubble he is in a place where trees are big, tall mushrooms and flowers are mushrooms, everywhere he turns its mushrooms. He knows something is wrong, everything is too strange, everyone he loves is there with him but is it real? It feels like he's living in a dream. Sozonius proceeds to talk to his friends and family as if they are actually there in which I noticed that Sozo will talk to the menticide mushrooms as if they are actual people.

Sozo Dialogue “Precious, perfect little mushrooms, Sozo is here now, Sozo will always be here…”

”Sozo is busy now… Sozo must commune with the ‘shrooms.”

As time passes more mushrooms grow in his mind prison, and they keep growing and growing until they start to grow on the people he loves. He knows something is happening, he's going mad, and he starts to search for an exit, he needs to escape this false reality that the mushroom crown has created for him.

He starts fighting the mushroom crown’s hold on him which causes him to regain some awareness. This is when a part of him realizes he’s been tricked, and he starts refusing everything the Mushroomos give him and becomes cruel to them. However, the lambs have never done him wrong before and the lamb (from the cult) begins to be the only person he can trust. At least until it becomes too much and well… we know Sozo’s fate.

SOZO’S REVIVAL

So Sozo doesn't get resurrected until all the bishops become mortal (at least in my playthrough)(I might change this to he was part of the cult before the bishops I’m not sure). So all the bishop siblings are in the cult and learning the ways of mortal stuff and Sozo appears around the same time, still the crazy Sozo we know and love. However, he’s still very addicted to the menticide mushrooms and both the Lamb and night workers have found Sozo digging through the mushroom crops like a lil racoon.

Based on the game, Sozo likes to run around the cult and do his own thing; he often looks very spaced out but the moment someone talks to him he starts spitting nonsense before yelling at them to go away. The only people Sozo will talk to are people that give Sozo what he wants, which is menticide mushrooms! If you do that for him he will talk your ear off with nonsense, in conversations with him he will often talk about his followers, them being liars and disgusting little creatures. One day though Sozo’s personality seems to change? He starts to tell the lamb,

“Sozo was just here, all alone, thinking about mushrooms... Uh, Sozo means Sozo's little Mushroomo followers!”

”Yes,, they must be so lost without Sozo. They love Sozo! Everyone loves Sozo - especially Lamb!”

“Without their great and beloved Sozo, Mushroomos must be so scared... YOU! You must save them! Save them and bring them to Sozo.”

”They will be trapped in Anura. They are always getting captured when they don't have their great Sozo to protect them. Rescue them and bring them to me.”

But when you bring the followers to Sozo he ends up eating them. At first glance you can assume it's just his addiction, in which it most certainly could be! He sees a big mushroom and he's like oooo~ delicious but there's also a possibility of this being Dr. Sozonius’s anger coming out. The whole fighting against the mushroom crown’s influence and realization that he’s been tricked. Maybe a mix of his addiction and anger for what they did to him? I’m not too sure if Sozo eating the Mushroomos was a problem before he joined the cult.

Of course, this addiction must be stopped so the lamb decides enough is enough and refuses to get more Mushroomos. This causes Sozo to dissent and, with little choice, the Lamb has to put him in rehab. I imagine it would’ve been a struggle getting Sozo to the prison without the Red Crown’s help. With the power of an ant that is Sozo’s size it's a miracle he didnt break that pillory while he was in it. Sozo just stayed silent and didn't fight; the person he had put his trust and hope in has imprisoned him. Sozo is a bit depressed at that moment.

After Sozo has been re-educated, released, and cured of his addiction the mushroom crown finally falls off his head. Which, like I said before, makes me wonder, was it being powered by the menticide mushrooms Sozo has been eating or is it something else?

But Dr. Sozonius talks about some stuff before saying,

Dr. Sozonius Dialogue “I can’t help but feel that I have you to thank for… something. You have my loyalty, I will remain here and serve you. Please, take this!”

Sozonius was ready to live his life rather than reunite with his family in the afterlife. He wasn't expecting to be resurrected after dying in the cult from old age. But Sozonius gave the lamb their loyalty and promised to stay in the cult and serve them. The Lamb had been so kind as to give Sozonius an immortality necklace, the Lamb didn’t want Sozonius to go yet… and Sozo’s heart was too kind and soft. He will have to wait a bit longer to return home to his family, but maybe some good things will come out of staying longer~

Also! Who do we think Sozo was talking to?

A Mushroomo Dialogue "Who is Sozo talking to when he whispers in the dark...?"

Is he talking to himself? The mushrooms? Or the Fox?

#THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN TO MAKE #THANK YOU SO MUCH MOONBIRD #I hope yall like my idea of what Sozos story might be so sorry if I rambled a lot #hope yall like to read #my headcanons #cult of the lamb headcanons #cult of the lamb sozonius #cult of the lamb #sozo headcanons #cult of the lamb sozo #cotl sozo #cotl sozonius #cotl headcanons #sorry if it didn’t make sense😭#cotl dr sozonius #dr sozonius #the shattered crown AU

Note

This is sort of a joke so only do this if you want to but: brothers with an mc who eats moss like kris from deltarune. It's..... weirdly attractive? There's a sheep joke to be made here

Sometimes we need a silly little joke, and that's okay. I hope you like it anon. Is the moss thing related to this blog name or is it just random? Also, I don't know who that is - and I had to look up what deltarune is. Maybe it's an age thing or maybe it's just one of those topics I know nothing about. Either way~

Also, I'll be honest, I set up an excel sheet with all of my requests organized by post type before I did this request. Now I feel more organized. Yay.

The demon brothers react to MC eating moss

(SFW) (silliness)

Word Count: +1,600

Lucifer

No. No. No. No. “Spit that out right now, MC.”

They’re going to give this poor single parent of 6 an aneurysm. Moss could be dangerous for MC. Where did they even get that? Did they at least wash it before shoveling it into their mouth?

What is he going to tell Diavolo if moss gets them sick? “Yeah, sorry about needing you to call a human doctor for MC. I looked away from them for one minute, and they started eating moss.” He has a responsibility to keep MC safe.

Lucifer is the type to order MC to get a psych eval when he sees them eating moss. He knows it’s weird and potentially dangerous. This kind of unusual behavior should be closely monitored by a professional.

He’ll nearly lose his mind believing that MC had definitely lost theirs.

“What in the Devildom has gotten into you? Have you utterly lost it? MC, I can’t handle these kids on my own anymore. I need you to be sane and relatively normal, please.”

Please don’t do this to him. Lucifer needs stability in his life, and eating moss is not the picture of stability.

He will make MC’s potential problem about him for a bit in true bad single parent fashion.

Mammon

“The hell ya doin’?!”

Mammon will not hesitate to point out how weird he thinks they are. He doesn’t want to hurt MC’s feelings, but he can’t stop himself from giving them a look of confusion and light disgust.

“That can’t possibly taste good, can it? Ya can’t just go ‘round eatin’ any plant ya see.”

Once the initial surprise works through him, he’s just worried about MC eating something weird. What would he do if they got sick? What would he tell Lucifer? He’s their guardian, and he takes that role more seriously than he likes to let on.

Mammon’s the most likely to try to physically remove the moss from MC’s mouth (but Lucifer is a close second). It could be dangerous. He’ll confiscate MC’s moss if they have any left and keep a close eye on them.

His search history from that day will be telling. “is moss dangerous for humans” “is moss dangerous for humans to eat” “types of moss that are safe for humans to eat” “how to tell if my human is sick” “human ate something bad what happens” “why did my human eat moss” “is my human mentally ill” “Devildom human doctors near me” “human-friendly moss” “good dates for humans” “how to charm weird humans” “how to romance weird humans no magic” (He got distracted.)

Leviathan

Levi finds it funny (and he probably actually knows which character you’re referencing, anon). It’s weird, sure, but he figures whatever MC is doing, it’s pretty harmless.

He wonders if that applies to algae. It might make cleaning out his fish tanks a bit easier if MC can and wants to eat it. The thought pops into his head, but Levi decides against it.

It’s strangely comforting that MC has something weird and arguably off-putting about them. Usually, he’s the weird, gross one. (This is where creepy Levi kicks in and he wants to know more about MC’s weird habits. Maybe if it turns out that they’re super weird, he can keep them all to himself. However, Levi lets his creepy thoughts go as quickly as they came.) Levi unlocked new information. Friend points +50. MC’s charm points +30.

“If I kiss you right now, that’s close enough to touching grass, right?” That’s a thing he’s supposed to do, isn’t he? Shit. He didn’t mean to say that out loud, but it’s too late.

Levi’s one of the brothers who will just let MC be and do their thing. He might double check and make sure MC isn’t going to get sick, but after that, he’ll leave them be. It’s not really his business. If it makes MC happy, he won’t judge.

Satan

Oddly supportive boyfriend.

The man’s a little feral and weird. I think he would find it kind of precious and adorable; it’s kind of like how cats like to eat grass.

He’d spend a while figuring out which mosses are safe to consume, asking MC if they have any preferences for which moss types they enjoy. Do they prefer certain textures and mouth feels? Are certain colors preferable? Which moss tastes the best?

Then, he would set up a moss terrarium for MC filled with their favorite mosses. Satan may ask them to help him build it as a cute little craft date. This way, MC will have a way to safely snack on moss whenever they wish. A terrarium has the added benefit of MC being able to control where the moss comes from so that they can avoid any harmful bacteria, viruses, pesticides, etc.

Of course, Satan understands that eating moss is unusual, and he may question what it is that compels MC to eat moss, but he doesn’t see the need to stop it.

He may taste the moss himself (in the same way that someone with a pet may be tempted to try pet food). It would, in all likelihood, disappoint him, but MC’s enjoyment is all that matters.

Satan has a real “MC can have a bit of moss – as a treat” kind of mindset. He’ll probably try to see if he can hand-feed MC like they’re a stray cat. He’s weird, too, but we love him.

Asmodeus

“Honey, no. This isn’t how we transition into our feral era.”

Asmo thinks it’s kind of gross, but he asks if maybe eating moss is good for the skin or something (because he can’t think of any other reason MC would even consider eating moss).

When they tell him that’s not why, he gives them a troubled stare with his arms crossed over his stomach. “Uhm, hun. Why are you eating it then?”

Even if MC tells him that it tastes good, there’s no way he’s trying it unless it has incredible health and beauty effects. He can’t stomach the thought of it.

After the disgust washes over him, the concern floods his system instead. He asks if MC is sure that they can and should be eating moss. Regardless of what MC tells him, Asmo will go to Satan or Lucifer (probably both) to make sure that MC isn’t putting themselves in any danger. He couldn’t handle it if MC got sick. All that stress would destroy his skin (and break his heart beyond repair).

Once he ensures MC’s health, he tries to just let MC do their thing. “Just please don’t eat that stuff around me, ‘kay? And if you eat it, please brush your teeth before you kiss me.”

Beelzebub

“Aw, MC, are you hungry? I’m sure we have something more delicious than moss in the fridge. I was just on my way to get a snack. I’ll pick one up for you too, okay?”

He’s probably eaten some moss in his time. He’s no stranger to eating weird things, so his reaction is the least judgmental.

Sometimes moss looks delicious, right? It just makes sense to him that they would want to try eating it.

Beel will definitely ask them to spare some of their moss so he can try it, too. If the moss tastes relatively bad, he might be weary of their tastes in the future, but as long as eating it won’t hurt them, Beel doesn’t care.

Beel is probably the only one who would try to suggest tastier methods of eating the moss. “What about putting it on top of ice cream? Or maybe in a cheeseburger. Mmm. . . cheeseburger. A moss salad might be more appetizing, too. I could blend it into a smoothie or some soup for you. How does that sound?”

It makes him feel a bit comforted that they both have eating habits that others think are weird – like it brings them closer and is a special connection only they can share.

Belphegor

He’s seen Beel bite into a pillar at the castle when he’s hungry. He’s not too troubled by a bit of moss-eating.

Belphie trusts MC not to be stupid enough to ingest moss that would be toxic to them, and not worrying saves him a bit of energy and time. Additionally, I think Belphie would be relatively knowledgeable about plants, so he would probably be able to tell if what MC is eating is likely to kill them.

For the most part, he just doesn’t care. MC could even kiss him with fresh moss breath, and he won’t give a shit. It’s probably better than morning or fish breath, and he’s still getting a kiss, so he doesn’t see a reason to complain.

He won’t be ultra supportive like Satan, but he will be a bit more enthusiastic about it than others – mostly because it gives him an idea for a prank. He could make soup with moss in it, have MC bring a bowl to Lucifer, and eat one themselves so he isn’t suspicious. Then Lucifer would end up eating moss soup. He could probably do that with multiple types of food, too.

One (stupid) point of contention will be that Belphie thinks moss is better as a pillow than as a snack, but he acknowledges that’s a ridiculous difference of opinion. However, that could be a nice date idea: find a mossy forest where he can take a nap while MC gets to snack on moss.

He will probably get scolded by Lucifer and Mammon for enabling MC’s behavior (and not at all because he goes on weird moss dates with MC).

Can you write some more Captain boomerang, fluff head cannons I loved your last one, and really would love some more 🥺🥺🥺

Abso-friggin-loutly! Fluffy/domestic HCs P2 [P1 Here]

CWs: Jealousy, guilt tripping. None graphic mentions of unrination. Rating: General

On days off from work (I use the term work, lightly) he is such a lazy git. He’s lounging on your couch in nothing but his undies and socks, both of which are ridden with holes and thoroughly stained ‘but they’re still good tho, here, have a whiff of that’ drinking beer and watching mindless action films or guilty pleasure sit-coms.

If you join him, he will happily spend the whole day there, unmoving until one of you has to eat or pee.

I hope you like physical touch because he will not keep his hand off you the whole time either. Playing with your hair, stroking your skin, sneakily trying to tickle you in order to force you into a more provocative position.

He also loves to be touched in return. Likes it when you trace your fingers over his tattoos, play with his hair. Scratch his scalp and he’ll start twitching his leg like a dog when you hit just the right spot.

Use a pen to play dot-to-dot with his freckles and he’ll get the result tattooed permanently.

Absolutely hates doing chores, and will try just about any underhanded tactic to get out of them.

Oh sorry, love, I forgot. I know you did ‘em yesterday, and the day before that, but I swear if you do them tonight we can do that thing you like. But you’re just soooo much better at it than I am, I always do it wrong.

No weaponised incompetence, I swear down if he fucks it up, it's because he genuinely is that dumb/has never been shown how to do it.

Claims to be outdoorsy, but if you ever take him camping or hiking he will complain the whole time that his feet hurt (because he’s wearing inappropriate footwear) and there’s dirt on his (already filthy) coat.

He would never admit it but he’s more reliant on his creature comforts than he lets on.

Does, however, genuinely enjoy playing sports together, mainly footie or frisbee boomerangs.

Can say some pretty nasty stuff during an argument. He will almost instantly regret it but is too stubborn to be the first one to apologise. Instead, he’ll do everything but say sorry until you say it first or you come to an unspoken agreement that you’ve both moved past it.

I did the dishes, an’ I went down to that food place you like and bought back dinner. Come on babe, don’t be like that, you can’t stay mad at this face, I know ya’ can’t.

Is very much the petty jealous type, doesn’t mind you having friends/being close with people, but takes it as a personal insult when you compliment them.

Funniest person you know, I thought I was the funniest bloke you know, remember that time I made you laugh so hard your drink came out of yer nose?

I’ve got a shirt like that, you never say I look good in it. Yes, I did, I said… Oh, well I don’t remember that.

But when the shoe is on the other foot, he’s such a hypocrite, he loves it when you get jealous. Especially if he’s still stinging from his own envy, he will actively try to make you jealous.

Loves kissing you, all the time. Got his arms wrapped around you while you’re trying to get stuff done, planting kisses up and down your neck, on any piece of skin he can reach.

You’re not allowed to go to a different room without giving him a quick kiss before you go. Even if he isn’t in either of the rooms.

Oi, I’ve got a bone to pick with you, you left the bedroom to get a drink and you didn’t kiss me on your way. You weren’t in the bedroom or the kitchen. Yeah, and?

He’ll take whatever kisses he can get but his favourite are the sloppy ones, tongue halfway down your throat, saliva leaking, noisy kisses.

Brags about you constantly. Every criminal, law enforcement officer, cashier, random lady at the bus stop way more about you than they ever should. Stories are often accompanied by many candid photos of you, photos you would cringe to see if he ever revealed them to you. Man wonders why he’s so easy to find by the law, when everyone from here to Sydney knows what you look like, what you do for a living, your favourite places to eat etc.

He also keeps polaroid pictures of you, they’re always either loose in his pockets (cause he never carries a wallet) or pinned to the wall of whatever prison cell he’s locked up in. Many of which he’s drawn on. Some doodles are pornographic but most hearts, stars, halos, and speech bubbles with illegible writing that’s supposed to say things like ‘I love you Digger’ or ‘Miss you every day’.

He doesn’t really know how to convey it but he really does cherish you.

A Little Salaar Rant:

Rewatched Salaar again for the nth time and am just so curious as to how the sequel is going to go.

Like number one, a part of me believes that Aadhya is a misdirect as a love interest because in the nicest way, Deva and Varadha are too into each other to care about anyone else. I really don’t think that anything Aadhya says or does can make Deva prioritize her over Varadha (when it comes to matters of safety- like if someone was holding a gun to both of their heads, he’d be picking Varadha no doubt). Even in their interview where they were describing what they take away from their characters:

• Prithvi talked about how Varadha feels incomplete without Deva.

• Prabhas talked about how Deva’s priority is Varadha first, then his mother, and now Aadhya.

• Shruthi talked about how Aadhya doesn’t even belong here and how she just accidentally wandered in and how her character is important in driving the plot forward.

I feel like in the end, they’re just gonna make her a love interest because that’s usually how these films go. But that feels so weird in the context of this movie because it wouldn’t really fit into the character dynamics that have been established. A part of me hopes that she can just be a friend at the end of it all, especially since her and Deva will probably have a side quest as they deal with the asthikalu. But anything more than that wouldn’t really feel just to the story at hand. In my opinion anyway.

And number two, the plot of the next movie will concentrate on the war between Deva and Varadha. I’m so interested about how they’re going to play that out because I cannot picture either of these two wanting to actually hurt each other. It even feels like in Prithvi’s entry scene, Varadha doesn’t look excited by the fact they’ve found Deva. Instead, he kind of just looks tired/done/like there’s a burden on his shoulders. Most probably because he doesn’t want to actually kill or hurt Deva. I feel like he’d rather just turn a blind eye to his location than actually hurt him.

In terms of how the movie ends too, I know Prashant talked about how the last scene of the movie will be the same as the first scene in the movie. Which makes me think that it might end with Deva dying, because what happens in the first scene is Deva doing what he has to in order to protect Varadha. Like maybe the movie will end with the current pole! But that would be so sad… like I need both of them to survive and live out their lives together. Or, if one goes, the other goes with because with how intertwined their souls are, I don’t think either can really survive with the other being completely gone.

I think a big part of me is just hoping that they’ll end up together at the end of it all because their actions showcase nothing but love and regard for the other. It’s something that goes beyond friendship (every interaction that happened between them has literally happened before in other movies with straight couples). I don’t think I have enough faith in Indian cinema at this point in this to truly believe they’ll let Varadha and Deva become a couple.

But I really wish they would because it’s about time. Also, you can’t have a story this big and dramatic, rooted in the story of these two characters who would literally do anything for each other in a setting as bloodthirsty as Khansar, and think that it isn’t a story about love. Ya know?

Also random, but a part of was also thinking about the conflict that happened in Khansar that led to Deva and his mom having to leave a second time. Like post that is when Amma probably really got scared of the power of her son and truly realized what he was capable of in the hands of Varadha. Especially because from my perspective, whatever blood bath occurred that led to Deva feeling guilty (cuz blood on his hands) has to have occurred because he needed to protect Varadha. So even though what happened probably wasn’t directly Varadha’s fault, I kinda of want to see Varadha and Amma being able to meet each other in 2017 and there be a tension in their relationship too. Where Amma probably is wary of Varadha since she knows the power he has over her son and where Varadha probably just feels this sense of unease because how do you confront someone who was like a mother to you?

In general, this is just a rant as I watch and rewatch and try to process my own thoughts. I feel like I know mostly how the plot is going to go and what to expect out of the second film. But there’s also the bigger part of me that hopes that instead of taking the generic way out (the way most series and movies seem to be doing now) the creators will take the time to do justice to the film and to the characters by allowing it to be what it is, rather than fitting into some mold of their own expectations.

Bastard’s Cabin

relationship - Newt x Male!Reader

setting - The Scorch

word count - 1k

request - Okay another idea (and a longer one this time so pls take as much time as you need🙏) okay so Newt x male reader (obviously) that takes place in the scorch when they’re kind of just traveling. Think Reader is like Lucy Gray Baird from the hunger games: ballad of songbirds and snakes. Reader has a somewhat thick country accent like Lucy and it’s all like that one scene in the hunger games movie when Lucy Gray is singing with the covey in the pub. Read would be doing the same thing singing with their family in the pub but the one line that I really want in it happens when someone goes up to the stage with a flask of moonshine and Lucy Gray goes “Is that for me? Oh, c’mon y’all you know I gave up drinkin’ when I was twelve” takes a drink and then continues “It’s to clear my pipes, y’all, to clear my pipes!” I want the Gladers to just kind of stumble upon the pub as they’re traveling in hopes of shelter and Newt is just immediately locked onto reader. They can also meet after reader finishes preforming and he just kind of playfully flirts with Newt while also being a little odd (Basically Lucy Gray coded reader) - 🪶

authors notes - I've never watched nor read Hunger Games so... go easy on me.

Rowdy crowds sitting as a mass beside the stage, all shoving their faces with beers and burgers. [Name] held the microphone far from himself, leaning it slightly down. He coughed into his elbow, looking up to see the pub door open and a group of boys and one girl line in. They looked around curiously, one boy’s eyes staying on [Name] an uncomfortable amount. The boy was blonde, almost dirtily. He stood with more weight on one leg than the other, a slight leaning to him. He was cute, but clearly scared.

“[Name]!” a person below him shouted. [Name] lowered his head, seeing Silena holding a metal flask. “It’s some gin!” she grinned, shaking it and raising onto her toes to hand it to him.

He scoffed a laugh. “For me?” he questioned with a jesting tone. “Oh, come on, Silena! You know I ain’t dranken in years! Not since I was damn near twelve!” he chuckled.

She giggled and he snatched it up, shooting the gin down his throat immediately.

“Oh it’s to clear my pipes, y’all! To clear my pipes!” he announced in defense as the crowd gasped, a wide smile still set on his face. “Thank ya’, Sil.” he said, handing it back to her.

“Mhm!” she beamed with a smile, scooping her dress up in one hand and skipping into the back kitchen.

[Name] pulled the microphone back up to him. “Alright y’all,” he sighed. “pipes are definitely working.” he hooted, shaking his head back and forth quickly to wake himself up again.

After his song was done, he made his way down the tiny sliver of steps on the side of the stage.

“Sil, all I want is some food.” he tried to convince, stretching his arms across the bar like a cat.

“Do you have food money?” she retorted, slapping his hands away to wipe the green bartop with her little red cloth.

[Name] rolled his eyes. “‘Do you got food money?’” he mocked, fishing out his torn leather wallet. “Yeah,” he groaned, handing her a ten.

Silena smiled, snatching it up. “And what can I get for you?” she raved, a taunting smile on her lips.

He coughed a barely intelligible order, a jumble of words he hid over chasing out an imaginary frog from his throat.

“You want your usual.” she said with a bare expression, her flat face a pawn of the game where he leaves his usual behind.

Nodding with a reluctant frown on his lips, he raised his brows. “Yeah…” he admitted. “Quit callin' it childish!” he groaned, throwing his head back. He saw a glimpse of that boy again, causing him to spin around on the wooden chair. “Know what? Forget that…”

Standing up quickly, [Name] made his way across the bar to where the boy stood behind a pool table. His shirt was thin and dirty, globs of grime sticking to random bits of the fabric. “Need a new shirt, do ya’?” he asked, sticking his hands in his jean pockets.

The boy looked down, picking at the hem of the long sleeved shirt. “Yeah, guess so.”

That accent was new. Charming, but new nonetheless. [Name] raised a brow, but ignored it. “Well, you stay right there. Will ya’?” he asked, oblivious to the fact that the boy had no clue he was originally offering his shirt.

[Name] went to move and go fetch a new shirt for the kid. Seeming put off, the boy stopped and questioned him, “Why? And who are you?”

Tilting his head with a smile, [Name] responded kindly, “[Name]! You?” He lifted his hand from his pocket and held it near the boy. The boy took it, shaking it softly.

“Newt…” the boy said, turning his head and looking around. “Can I ask you where we are?” he asked feverishly, his eyes locking on the rest of his friend group trying to bargain with Silena for some discount or deal.

“Uhh…” [Name] stumbled, newly finding out that not everyone in town had been here before. “Bastard’s Cabin.” [Name] nodded, pointing up to the red neon sign. It flickered forebodingly, making a hideous buzzing noise.

Newt nodded and swallowed harshly, his eyes moving to look at [Name] again. “So uh, you sing?” he gulped out nervously, his stance against the table becoming more and more awkward.

“You betcha,” [Name] smiled. “Now, we gonna get you a new shirt or what?” he said, wrapping his hand around Newt’s arm and tugging him around the corner.

The changing room was small and cramped, peppered with the messes of past performances. The only orange light they had was now dimly and unfit to light the room properly. [Name] shuffled over the mess and pulled a new shirt from his open drawer. It was nice, a cleaner version of what looked to be the same shirt.

“Catch!” [Name] grinned, underhand tossing the balled up shirt into Newt’s hands.

Newt looked down at it and then up at him. “Well look away now,”

[Name] quickly nodded his head, spinning around. He could hear the fabric sliding against itself as Newt lifted the shirt. “So what’s got ya’ here?” [Name] attempted to make small-talk, lifting himself onto the heel of his foot and rocking back and forth with his hands behind his back.

“Being chased by WICKED.” Newt replied flatly. “You can turn around now,”

[Name]’s mouth had dropped. “Well! The hell ya’ doin’ here for?! Let’s get a move on!” he shouted quietly, jumping over the mess and grabbing a bag. “C’mon! Pack whatever you need, we’re hittin’ the road,” he exhaled in exhaustion, shoving the green backpack into Newt’s palms.

Clinging it to his chest, Newt looked bewildered. [Name] scooped up randomized items and filled the bag. “Come on,” he urged, rushing out of the room. “Silena!” he shouted, his hands cupped around his lips.

She spun—looking down at the bag—and threw herself over the bar. She ran to [Name], slapping him upside the head. “Damnit!” she complained. “Better get your friends,” she advised Newt.

“Tommy!” he yelled. Tommy and the others’ heads quickly turned. Newt beckoned them over, to which they obliged.

“What’s happening?” Tommy asked Newt, looking sweaty and scared.

Newt shrugged, looking back to [Name].

“WICKED, ya’ said? We gotta go.” [Name] breathed raggedly, tossing the bag over his shoulder.
