lily evans my beloved

headcanons about kaider that i think are really fucking beautiful:

• kai loves to surprise cinder. with coffee in bed, or with broken shit (like a med-droid) for her to fix

• cinder calls kai affectionately, “my husband and my love,” but only when they are alone

• kai calls cinder “my moon and every star in the sky” but only when they are alone

• kai loves to call her his wife constantly or his empress

• cinder still works as a mechanic while being empress

• cinder loves to wear kai’s clothes and kai always smiles when he sees her wearing them

• kai is a light sleeper, so whenever cinder gets woken by a nightmare, kai always is there to wrap his arms around her and pull her to him. she falls asleep in his arms soundlessly

• they sometimes stay up late, talking about their life. there is a lot of kissing that is involved

• kai loves to help cinder get dressed and vice versa. it’s a way he shows his affection to her and gratitude that she accepted to be his empress. he always makes sure that her crown is straight. After they dress each other, he kisses her forehead.

• cinder doesn’t wear dresses to balls. i will die on this hill. cinder does not wear dresses ever. it is shown so many times that she is not comfortable in dresses and prefers pants like at the end of winter it’s stated explicitly, “do i have to wear a dress? i don't care if you wear military boots and cargo pants. i just might. good.” i feel like kai and iko would help design cinder outfits that she would be comfortable in and most of her clothes would be in the eastern commonwealth style. she'd look hot as hell

• after long days being the emperor and empress of the eastern commonwealth, they love to sit on the floor and talk

• kai loves to rub cinders feet and cinder rubs his shoulders after long days

• they are almost always touching each other and they have a quiet intimacy that is so fucking beautiful

• cinder is always aware of kai’s moods when it’s the anniversary of his mother and fathers death. she has him cancel his duties and spend the day doing whatever he wants in order to have him grieve yet celebrate their lives. he says to her “you are my family, my love.” pressing a kiss to her hand and kai does the same with peony anniversary

• cinder loves to be kissed on the neck, and kai always obliges this want. often. whenever he can, he presses his lips to her neck

• they give each other love bites quite often, and the morning after they shower, they apply foundation and there is even more kissing. but they try to do it in less noticeable places

• they are always side by side when in meetings, and they treat each others as equals

• kai is very defensive when people begin asking about heirs. he literally loses his shit with the paparazzi. he waits until cinder is ready and tells her that they don’t have to have a child if she doesn’t want to

• kai loves to kiss cinder (and vice versa) whenever and wherever. in their room, the throne room, or against walls. always making sure it is okay with her first. they are really fucking in love and they kiss often, not caring who is watching.

• kai and cinder always (and i fucking mean always) ask for consent either verbally or non verbally for kissing, touching and sex

• cinder loves to sit on kai’s lap while they read documents together + curl and run her fingers in his hair (she literally does this when they dance in cinder)

• they have a favorite make out spot(s) and torin and iko are constantly trying to find them (but, hey, it’s a big palace) and sometimes they just walk away when they find them

• they always ask for consent before they kiss or have sex or before touching one another. i don’t care how long they’ve been married or together, they always ask for consent before doing anything and they wait for the other to say yes before they do it

• when they take showers together, kai loves to run his fingers in cinders hair help her with shampoo and conditioner. they almost always end up kissing while they’re together and cinder loves to kiss his collarbone and neck, it leaves kai breathless

• kai always kisses her control panel on her neck, it’s the first thing he does when he sees it for the first time

• cinder always loses her breath when she sees kai shirtless. like every. fucking. time.

• kai loves to place his hand on cinders waist and cinder loves the feel of his body against her while in bed

• whenever they don’t have morning meetings, they make good use of the time

• kai is always physically present with cinder, always a hand at her back or waist. or the brush a of a knee under the table, his fingers on her thigh. a brush of his lips on her neck or shoulder while she dresses, or a long kiss in bed when they first wake up. his brow rested on hers. he knows the neglect that she endured at hands of adri and that she never received love or comfort, so he makes sure that she is constantly being looked after including making she she’s had food

• sleepy kai is cinders favorite but thinks he is hot as hell when he is dressed in traditional eastern commonwealth clothes

• they say ‘i love you’ and kiss each other until they are breathless often

• years down the line, their love is still as strong as when they first met

• whenever one of them has to leave the palace, the bed always feels empty without them in it

despite pages of poems and the entire book i wrote you - you only ever wrote me two songs. the first has the lyric coming up on 7.13, the date we first started really flirting. it's been three years from then, and my life has been utterly ruined. we haven't spoken in a month. i oscillate between being a wreck and being wildly, manically happy. i go long periods without thinking of you - and then i keep myself up, tortured by memories.

i think it's important to note we had been friends for years first. that i had learned to trust you, to think better of you. that you knew who i was - and you still fucking broke me. you knew all the ways i had worked to be okay with myself. all my independence, my hobbies. you could have left me alone, is the thing. you could have let me just keep fucking living.

i keep writing paragraphs on paragraphs about what you did, what you said - who you were. how it escalated so slowly. how i am still scared to admit the truth of things, fearing your response. you taught me that fear. it's only been a month, but still - already, how strange to think of who i was while i was with you. that was a husk-girl, cowering, servile. i can't believe let you in my fucking house.

three weeks before you discarded me; you took me ring shopping. you would tell me so many times i was the love of your life, someone that you "couldn't live without."

the last thing you sent me was that second song - a new one, finally. it's about how i'll never get what i want. about how miserable the idea of a life with me is.

my mother was furious. i had to call her - i was sobbing on the floor of my bathroom about it. She knows it kills me that i can't have kids, i said, breathless, silver and shaking with anguish, Why would she make a fucking song about how sad that is.

you know her, and you know how gentle and forgiving she is. how rare her anger is. her response was slow, deliberate. sweetheart, she said, she can write any song she wants. i know my girl. you are going to write a book instead.

i hiccupped a laugh, but she was still talking. she dropped her voice low, almost scraping through the phone and onto the floor with me. it was a strange tone, almost like feeling a storm coming when there's nowhere safe to be.

i want you to rip her apart, she said. do you think you can you do that for me?

<333 hiccup and jack

a continuation to this one, where jack falls in love with hic and becomes a mortal

(closeups under the cut)

i’ll continue my rambling in here so the post wont be too long but jacks sleeve and the little fabric wall piece read lyrics of for the dancing and the dreaming

here jack is fully a mortal, his hair and eyes back to their original colour. he lost his powers, but he doesn’t care. for the first time in three hundred years he is living. and hiccup knows every once in a while, jack’ll breathe out some snowflakes while he snores so he has that :’)

jacks and toothless’s (and hiccups) favourite thing is flying, and they could do it all day every day. those moments are first ones where jack starts falling for hiccup (hic’s already way gone for the pretty winter spirit)

STOICK!!!! and teenyyy tiny hic!!! they’re important!!! also a proper look at jacks design

i know people have already dissected pretty much all of Tenna and Spamton’s dialogue connections, but i wanted to point out something i noticed that i haven’t personally seen mentioned before, and how it may tie in to their relationship. this could just be me going “i’ve connected the dots!” here, but…

these are the only instances in the game where Tenna says this specific line, and it seems like an intentional reference in the writing to parallel these moments with each other. we know Spamton is connected to and knows that jingle, because he also quotes it in his Neo fight (in reference to Tenna and Mike). it seems like it was probably an ad they made together.

many people have pointed out that the Tropic of Love was probably a special place for Tenna and Spamton, and to me, this further implies that; it also implies that Tenna was thinking about/missing Spamton in both of these moments. (and yet still tries to pretend he doesn’t miss him at all ….. )

the other evidence that the Tropic of Love is connected to Spamton has been discussed before but i wanted to put it here for clarity!

the song that plays on the Tropic of Love is called “SOUTH OF THE BORDER!!” and is the only song in the chapter to be capitalized and have multiple exclamation points, similar to the way Spamton speaks.

(i’ve also heard people say that this song and the “KEYGEN” song — when Spamton flashes rainbow colors like the trees do on the Tropic of Love — share a leitmotif, and the first few notes of both do sound similar, but as far as i know this hasn’t been completely confirmed yet? correct me if im wrong)

the only other time the phrase “south of the border” is used in connection with Deltarune is Spamton’s dialogue in the description for the “Mr and Mrs and Spamton cutting board” on the Spamton Sweepstakes page, which also feels like a very intentional reference.

and Spamton does indeed cross out Tenna with a red marker on the below page, which of course you can find linked in the “Spamton engraved wedding ring” description. there’s an implication here that Spamton bought a wedding ring for Tenna, never got to give it to him, yet still kept it for years — we know some other things found in the Spamton Sweepstakes have factored into canon in some way (Noelle’s blog posts, some questions Spamton answered on Twitter, many hidden links)

(still don’t know what went down w Spamton and Mike tbh)

basically the point here is that the Tropic of Love was almost certainly some kind of romantic getaway or memento for them — and Tenna kept it in his special version of the game even after everything that happened; he still thinks of it fondly. they both care way more than they want to let on, and still can’t get each other out of their heads (after at least a decade apart, if the hidden mailroom dialogue means anything). and, despite all their obvious anger and resentment, despite falsely believing that the other abandoned them and never actually cared at all, they absolutely still deeply miss each other. (there are so many instances i could point out that imply this but this post already took me way too long to put together! lmao)

i mean, famously bitter grudge-holder Spamton G. Spamton was overjoyed at the chance to reconcile when he realized that Tenna cares about him after all, that maybe he wasn’t only using him that whole time just to find out his secret. (“you really do care!!!”) and even after he got humiliated by Tenna yet again, Spamton wasn’t really even angry — more just disappointed and resigned. and Tenna, who thinks Spamton was just using him the whole time, that Spamton pretended to get a phone call just so he could abandon him at the very last minute, still keeps the gift Spamton gave him as his prized possession, still wishes Spamton could just be there for him at his lowest. i think all of this says a lot about how they actually feel about each other, underneath the fronts they’ve put up to protect themselves from the pain of realizing they both lost the one person in the world who might’ve truly loved them.

[as a last note: i do actually believe there is a chance for them to reconcile in the game if you keep Tenna in Castle Town. this is a Toby Fox game. the main themes present in his work are love, hope, and forgiveness — that even if you’ve been irreparably changed, even if you can never fully go back to who you used to be, even if you feel completely unloveable, there is still love for you. i think Tenna and Spamton as characters will be relevant to the overall narrative and themes of Deltarune. i do think it’s that deep. Toby is making niche pairings from ten years ago — like Burgerpants/Nice Cream Guy — canon after all this time because it will make people happy. he’s having Fangamer sell Tenna & Spamton plushies as a pair, in cuddly poses. if you think there’s absolutely no hope for their relationship… maybe, just maybe, there will be.]

none of my followers will get this cuz I don’t have any ds9 moots but oh my god. Clutches my hand. I’m gonna rant for a moment maybe ppl will find it. The way I’ve literally seen people try to outright dismiss Chrysalis just because they don’t like how Julian acted and that it was a WOMAN he was with. People literally saying it would be better if it was his (non disabled) male friend everyone ships him with instead (the fact Sarina is disabled is incredibly important to the plot and how uncomfortable the dynamic is IT IS THE POINT)

I need you all to understand that Julian isn’t a perfect naive submissive little baby he is a grown man and the whole point of the episode was his loneliness and insecurity in being the only person like him on the station. and then suddenly there’s a woman who is on his level or even smarter in some ways, and she HAS to rely on him. His relationship with Sarina has an obviously imbalanced power dynamic and that’s why it’s interesting. Idk why some of the fandom acts like the writers wrote him as an evil abuser and how dare they let Julian have nuance and make mistakes. Did you guys watch the show. You realise that including bad Julian moments isn’t the same as condoning his behaviour right. Like id accept that his chasing Jadzia for ages is played off as ‘poor Julian’ and not handled the greatest by the writers, but this episode specifically isn’t playing off his weird behaviour as okay, literally in the scene where he’s begging Sarina to say she loves him too and she says she doesn’t know it’s showing he’s been pushing it too far. Idk I love this episode so much it actually makes me cry so I hate to see so many fans dismiss it because it doesn’t fit their fanon babied version of Julian

but also if u just don’t like it that’s ok I just wanted to talk a little 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Ravenous is Haunted

Within the lore of Ravenous, eating people causes you to “absorb [their] spirit,” but what does that mean in practice?

Ives mentions that eating someone brave gives you a surge of bravery, which is exactly how Boyd goes from too scared to move to single-handedly capturing the enemy command. The spirit of his fellow soldiers and specifically his commanding officer compel him to do it. But we know that this personality shift is not permanent, it abates. However, I believe that there are other more subtle influences that remain. 

There’s a whole collection of things Boyd, Ives, and Hart do and say that mirror the actions and words of the people they’ve eaten…

The protectiveness that Boyd shows towards the Fort Spencer crew after Ives arrives as colonel is a new trait for him and highly reminiscent of Reich’s protectiveness towards Toffler. From the moment he’s stuck with Ives at the fort, Boyd also immediately decides to murder him, the thing that Reich died furious at him for not doing, and never strays from this mission at all. Boyd and Ives both headbutt each other in their final fight, a Knox fighting move, and Boyd also attempts to strangle Ives at one point, which is Reich’s. Another example that I like is when Hart says to the chickens he’s feeding “run away! run for your lives!” which is what Toffler died doing. These are all small moments in isolation, but together they form a compelling picture. 

For another thing, you have Boyd mentioning to Hart near the end the “nightmares” he’s “still” having about Reich, Cleaves, and Knox. These aren’t just random trauma nightmares, they are specifically about the three people of the Fort Spencer crew that he’s eaten. And, considering how strongly Hart reacts to the mention of this, he is likely experiencing the same thing. Since it is canon that they have actually ABSORBED these people by eating them, I don’t think it’s a stretch at all to call this a haunting. 

Put these together and you have the people who have been eaten haunting the cannibal characters at night and maintaining at least some sway over them by day, often without them even realizing it… Fun stuff!

As far as Ives goes, I think that he is less affected by this phenomenon than Boyd and Hart are. He’s been eating people for much longer than they have, he has no moral compass whatsoever, and he has a very strong personality, so he’s not gonna let a little haunting get to him. That being said, who knows what quirks of his personality we might be able to attribute to people he’s eaten in the past if we knew more about them? I also think that his assumption that he is unaffected by the people he eats is a part of his downfall, and I’ll explain that in a moment. 

The last thing I want to talk about is the bell because that’s what REALLY gets me mmmmmmmmmmm… SO! During Boyd’s fight with Ives, there’s a moment where Ives has fled the room they were fighting in and Boyd doesn’t know where he is, so he’s checking behind all these random doors and not finding him when he hears a bell ringing in the courtyard. He goes out and sees the ringing bell but no one near it. Instead of going towards it where he knows Ives is likely waiting for him though, he walks towards the barn, as if in a daze. When he enters, he sees the bear trap and gets an “Aha!” look on his face. 

Now, who do we know who is associated with both that bell and a bear trap? It’s Reich! He is the only person we ever see ring that bell and (in a deleted scene) he uses bear traps as target practice, shooting at them to snap them shut while Boyd watches. So, at the very least, we can say that Reich indirectly inspires Boyd in that course of action. 

BUT, because I am me, I’d like to take it a step further by proposing that, since Reich is haunting both Boyd AND Ives, he influences Ives to ring the bell (with Ives not consciously thinking anything more of about than “this will surely get Boyd’s attention >:)”) and then influences Boyd to walk over to the barn instead of immediately continuing the fight so he can show him how to end it once and for all. Boyd asked Reich to “tell me what to do,” and Reich answered him!

I did also write a fic about this concept a few years ago if anyone is interested!
