I just wish to see peanuts and Dogday getting along for once please-
Interloper: Sleeping Dogs Lie
Peanuts was a very squishy toy.
Understandably so, Dogday thought, since the little thing was made to resemble a plush toy, meant to be hugged and squished.
Squished like Peanuts was currently being. The pup laid across Dogday's chest, face free to carefully pinch and squash between his fingers. Peanuts merely snoozed as Dogday pulled and poked, uncaring of the way his head stretched.
If anything, he enjoyed the attention, judging by the lazy thump of his little tail.
Something about Peanuts irked Dogday. The way the toy acted, begging for your attention, blocking Dogday himself from getting any, it was infuriating. But there was a distinct. . . youthfulness to the pup. He was young, very young, in need of care and love.
Dogday despised the miniature critters, back when he lived within the factory. Before the Hour of Joy, they were more annoying, little pests that the kids liked to chase and hug and that enjoyed stealing food or getting underfoot. After the hour, they were starved and crazed, feasting on whatever decomposing husk they could find, regardless of whether the damned soul was still alive.
Peanuts was the first you found that was actually different. Whatever the reason, Peanuts was more affectionate than his fellow little critters. He willingly followed you around, ate from your hand, snuggled into your chest to sleep.
Following Peanuts came Biscuits, and then Cubby. A trio of little mischief makers that Dogday never expected to come to care for.
But here he was, petting Peanuts as the pup snoozed on his chest.
Was this a family? Dogday couldn't remember the last time he felt like he truly belonged someplace like this. Before he was. . . him, there wasn't much. Not that he could remember, at least. And while the other Smiling Critters were all trauma bonded, they all had their own issues that kept them from truly feeling like friends, much less family.
This. . . this was different. This was freedom, as Dogday chose to stay with you, his angel, and all the others did too. They could leave, technically, could go find what the world was about. But they didn't want to. They wanted to live here, with little rascals and your loving touch.
Speaking of, Dogday sighed as he felt your lips press to the top of his head. You moved to kiss Peanuts too, chuckling as the pup whined happily.
"Sweet dreams, boys."
Sweet dreams indeed.

There's a certain CCCC summary video that we really, really like. We think it is a great video for people if they want to grasp the story more clearly, if they're confused, or if they're listening to the album for the first time.
That video being Chonny Jash and the Weight of the Mind on Youtube by W3tBl@nk3t. We think they cover it really well.
However, I'm sharing this for a different reason; they say few certain things that really struck with us until now, that I'd like to share with the fandom. Sometimes, we see people really just.. Miss the point of CCCC entirely, and I'd like to shine a light on what was said here. If you'd like to hear this for yourself on video, the timestamp is 35:57-36:45.
“..I bet we all could relate to that, they are the prime example of the side of you that suffers and the side of you that hates yourself for suffering:
The side of you that just wants to slow down and feel everything even to the unhealthy extent of not being able to do anything else(1), but also the side of you that so desperately wants you to get over it(2).
Sure, laying in bed all day every day to rot isn't healthy, but neither is boiling things down and invalidating your own emotions. Both are paths to inevitable disaster, and that's what Chonny is doing here. Keep in mind that the idea behind this album is being whole, and that means neither of these sides are entirely in the right or the wrong; this album is about inner compromise and acceptance(3).”
1.) The side of you that suffers; Heart. He is representative of Whole's emotions, he holds them. Your emotions can go haywire, especially when one's mentally ill and has no way of their feelings being validated. An emotional person like Heart suffers under the weight of crushing, devastating feelings. He wants to feel things out, have time to just process everything, even if it takes them days or weeks to get over it. It's not healthy, but feeling is what he does, and he wants to help because he knows he has importance. Solely focusing on just your emotions isn't the best thing to do, however.
2.) The side of you that so desperately wants you to get over it; Mind. Many people have been there, have wanted themselves to stop wallowing in their own emotions and just do something else, even to the point where you think feeling things out is unnecessary. This is also unhealthy, but not intentionally. Like Heart, Mind just wants to help, everything he does is in best interest. This is what he thinks will get them to move on the quickest; to leave behind emotions and focus on anything BUT that. Also not the best thing to do.
3.) This album is about inner compromise and acceptance; About being whole. Neither of Heart and Mind are right nor wrong. They have their own ways of doing things, of what they think will help their whole self out the most, but both are unhealthy despite the good intentions. They fight over who's wrong or right, when they shouldn't even be doing so in the first place. It's your thoughts against your emotions, basically; your feelings contradict your thoughts, and it leads to an inner war of sorts. This won't make things better, which is why you can't have Mind over Heart or vice versa; you'll need both of them. In the album, they are only able to be whole when they get along. They harmonize, they 'combine', they see eye to eye with each other and work together instead of fighting over and over. Inner compromise is achieved with this, and acceptance can lead them away from any disaster that there's to come.
What we're trying to say is that mental health is a large thing tackled within CCCC, and yet we see a lot of people who overlook it; thus, end up missing the point of the whole album. We see a lot of people believe Mind's perspective a little too much and treat Heart quite harshly, or the other way where people demonize Mind and say that Heart is perfect, when it's not really that in the slightest.
This is not a hate post towards people's interpretations of CCCC or how they view characters, I'm just saying that people can tend to overlook what's in the very narrative, and we see a concerning amount of people do such.
Anyways. Stream CCCC and put your Hearts and Minds in the get along shirt. Have a nice day.

I am so sorry to all of the Soul enjoyers#whole was technically mentioned but this is not about him. so sorry to the Whole enjoyers as well#we rreally really really like this CCCC video#a lot#it does a great job at explaining things and is fairly good for an unbiased telling of the story#to reiterate though this is not a hate post#it's just a bit frustrating to see how many people say that mind is right or heart is right#but no.. that is not the point of cccc#and it's even in tse as well. the line 'neither is right yet neither is wrong'#personally we are big fans of heart and will defend him since he gets so mischaracterized#but we know and acknowledge that he isn't 100% correct and can be wrong for what he wants to do and has done#we love Heart but he did not have to pull that gun.#also. more justice for characters who make mistakes but aren't automatically super evil because they're just human.#we've seen how people lack that understanding in the fandom </3#hmsw are so incredibly flawed in a relatable way with such good writing#we feel like people overlook that so much#this post was scary to make but#we're doing it#here goes#CxC rambling and yapping#we haven't posted purely text posts in a while please don't come for our heads c4 fandom

I love the idea that, whenever a Cybertronian space-faring vessel lands or docks within a predominantly non-Cybertronian space station or port, that it's required that they either confirm or deny whether their vessel is sentient or not before being permitted to land.
1. For proper accommodation and clarification, along with the chance for communication between the vessel and crews working the station/port.
2. Because there has been... incidents... incidents that have led to the requirement of the above reasons.
#an irate dreadnought with a brain and very big feelings could wreak all sorts of havoc on an unprepared station unfortunately#also. itd be a bit shocking to be just some guy working the fuel station. idly complimenting a shiny cruiser only for it to say 'thanks <3'#transformers#maccadam#tf idw#tf worldbuilding#???#i mean. yeah. its technically world building. we dont see much of that kinda stuff#but im sure as hell thinking about it rn#i love wacky sci fi worldbuilding. theres not enough of it on a broader galactic scale in tf sometimes#like. they mention other aliens and hubs in a few continuities i think. but then they only do so much with it#outside of crossovers ig#idk. i just like thinking of how beings other than humans perceive cybertronians and the colonists#like. they're new to humans. usually. but theyve had other alien neighbors for millions of years#transformers surely are quite talked about on a broader galactic scale. and obv taken into consideration either for good or bad#they're nigh immortal. they're constantly fighting each other and dying. they're peacekeepers. they're warlords. they're big. they're small#they're fucking weird. and somehow end up all over the place#they hate your kind. they love your kind. they think you're disgusting. they're offering to be your car#how many citizens of their galaxy nervously attempt to politely ask a vehicle if its alive or not on a daily bases in popular hubs/stations#its so funny to me#also. thinking about fic stuff relating to idw1. and like. all the background aliens and their factions fascinate me a bit. its fun inspo#mtmte#lost light#nearly forgot those. since other aliens and factions are featured in them a bit#slowly getting through robots in disguise rn. and all the nail stuff got me thinking about neutrals finding homes amongst other aliens#also like. some of the darker stuff thats mentioned about cybertronians being sold or indentured. like. hows that viewed broadly?

Valicer Multiamory Month, Day Eleven: Home (Multiplayer Wonderland AU)
The inexorable march of Multiamory March (har har) (by @polyamships) continues onward today -- this time with another one of the alternative prompts subbed in for the regular one! Because I couldn't really think of anything I wanted to do with the given Day 11 prompt, "pining" --
But when I took another look at the alternative prompts, my brain immediately latched onto "home" and went "what about a story about the Multiplayer Wonderland group exploring their newly-built house together?" :D And so here we are, with the fivesome of Alice, Smiler, Victor, Victoria, and Emily doing just that. Shout-out to Chapter 5 of PlayerPiano's "Love Stories" Corpse Bride fanfic for what I'm sure was the subconscious inspiration for this idea! Hope you all enjoy!
--
“So – what do you think?”
“It’s wonderful,” Alice said, running her fingers along the ivy pattern in the parlor wallpaper. “I know we all had a hand in designing the place, but – there’s seeing your house on paper, and then seeing it in real life.”
“I know,” Smiler agreed, patting a plush couch. “This is amazing.” They glanced over at Victor with a little smirk. “Dare I ask how much it cost?”
“No more than my parents could afford,” Victor replied, smirking back. “Trust me, they barely felt us dipping into their wallet. In fact, Mother hinted that she could have done with us spending more.”
“Really? This place is already pretty damn big.”
“You’ve seen my family’s mansion – Mother wanted us to go even bigger.” He rolled his eyes. “Probably hoping to show off just how much canned fish could buy to the Everglots.”
“To be fair, it buys a lot – certainly more than we could, before my marriage to you,” Victoria remarked, looking around. “Though, actually, I’m pretty sure my mother is also pleased we live somewhere so big as well. Perhaps it softens the blow of me taking such a step down in status.”
“Well, bully for them,” Alice said, folding her arms. “If it stops them giving us grief about Smiler, Emily, and myself living with you, I’m all for them thinking you’re into conspicuous consumption.”
“Perhaps they just think we’ll be better hidden away from society in all these rooms,” Emily joked, bouncing in place. “Oh, but it is so nice for all of us to have a bit of space to ourselves! I really didn’t expect you to actually give me a room just for dancing!”
“We know how much you love it,” Victoria said, smiling as she looped her arm through Emily’s. “And if I got a room for sewing, and Victor for his piano, and Alice for her drawing, and Smiler for their chemistry…”
“Which, I love how you put that up in the turret,” Smiler said, grinning. “Makes me feel like a wizard in a tower.”
“Which is ironic, given that was always Victor’s favorite game to play back when we were small,” Alice chuckled. “But yes, it really is lovely to have a space that’s all mine. And a house that’s all – ours.” She blinked some sudden wetness out of her eyes, then laughed. “Certainly blows my initial sketches out of the water.”
“To be fair, Alice, you drew those when we were eight,” Smiler reminded her, ruffling her hair. “And when there was only three of us to worry about.”
“And it was still a very nice house,” Victor agreed. “Though...I wouldn’t be opposed to this one making its way into Wonderland now.”
Alice grinned as the vines on the wall sprouted rainbow-colored flowers. “I’ll see what I can do.”
#MultiamoryMarch#MultiamoryMarch2025#valicer#fanfic#valicer multiamory month#victor van dort#alice liddell#smiler alton#corpse bride#alice madness returns#the smiler#four victorians on a roller coaster#three player AMA au#thanks for the inspiration PlayerPiano and Love Stories#yeah I remembered reading the house tour bit of the story over on FF.net when she was exclusively posting over there#and thinking it was very cute#and now I have my own version for my own polycule :p#Victor happily using his parents' money to make a house where everyone has a space of their own and feels welcome#and yeah Alice in the original write-up for the AU designed a house for her Victor and Smiler to live in as a child#that was basically a mirror-flipped version of her own house with a few extra rooms for them#(the idea being that the Liddell House at the top of the mountain in the Land of Fire and Brimstone would be THEIR house in this AU#because it's mirrored as compared to the version we see briefly burning in A:MR before she enters the Dollhouse)#so I had to make sure to mention that#Alice is a touch emotional about now having a REAL house with room for everyone she loves#oh and no I don't know how Emily is still around in this particular AU yet#if she's still in the Land of the Dead and just visits regularly like in Technicolor Phase#or if she's technically now a Wonderland resident like in the original 'Somebody I Used To Know' idea (before Smiler showed up)#and they're using magic to give her a presence in the physical world#if I ever seriously write anything from this AU I'll figure it out then!#queued

i havent finished tamn (chpt 30), but I have a little theory about immunity. I'm assuming the virus is usually fatal via fever, as in the fever kills the victim and then resurrects them. while gri and q survived the fever but are still infected, thus the "immunity". i just love sentient zombie stories! sorry for redundancy if you answered something similar to this in the past
That's the gist of it, yeah! Calling themselves "immune" is a bit of a falsehood on both Quackity and Grian's part (though not an intentionally misleading one- Grian picked up calling it 'immune' from Quackity, and Quackity calls it that because he's a very "if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it's a duck" kind of person). They're both still very much infected, though, which means they carry and operate with all the symptoms of the virus (just skipped the "dying horrifically" part).
That being said, we figure that there are a few people out there with True Immunity (i.e. no adverse reactions/symptoms to a bite) but sadly, in the context of TAMN............ neitehr Big Q or Gri are one of those people - 🔒
#TAMN asks#anonymous#KEY HERE TO ADD!!#first of all we love talking about zombies here so never apologise omg we'll chat about 'em forever#plus I don't think?? we've mentioned much about the virus itself on tumblr?#most of our Technical Conversations about it have been in comments on AO3 tbh#SO YES#like you and Lock both said#they're not truly immune#they're both still infected--they just never died#I LOVE the idea of it being the FEVER that kills most people#we didn't really discuss which particular effect triggered by the virus would've done it#but I think the fever makes a lot of sense#and there's something so poetic about a fever being like#your body's attempt to save you#heating up to kill the virus#and it ends up killing you instead...#SO YEAH I ADORE IT#MAKE IT CANON BAYBEEEEEEE#thank you for reading our fic and sharing your thoughts! :D#god I should've just added to the post itself#these tags got longer than I thought they would sdhjdjfk SORRY -Key

New Sparrow art!!!!

My silly. Beloved. Holy fuck I'm older then him now.
Anyways, Silly little details that are important to me:
The feathers are from his most common nicknames!! (Darling Crow, Raven, Bluejay, The Shrike/Butcherbird, Magpie, Sparrow)
Nat 20 bc he's lucky. also because he's heavily Victory coded.
Ace of hearts w/ knife - 'Ace' is his pet name for his boyfriend and he did accidentally kill someone via stabbing them in the eye for Racer
The coins numbered 7 are sliver, while the ones numbered 13 are gold, therefore the traditionally 'lucky' number is on the less valuable one and the traditional 'unlucky' number is on the more valuable one!
Dice colors - If the D20 was real it'd actually be clear with gold flakes and numbers, but I was limited by my art style ;-;
@thenopequeen hey I know it's been forever but may I offer the silly as tribute :] /silly
#please ignore the hand holding the die. please i've never draw something like that before and I am too tired to deal with it lol#my art#oc art#oc#original character#Alex 'Sparrow' Widdow - OC#newsies oc#well this is based off a more modern AU but still :p#btw the mention of Sparrow being 'victory coded' is from an old AU I never talked about#it was a percy jackson AU where Sparrow was a son of Nike while Racer was a son of Tyche#and bc they are idiots (/affectionate) they decided to test whether luck or victory would win in a game of chance.#bc of a prophecy they got involved in#so uh yeah. tbh maybe I should dig up stuff from that AU. never got far with the plot but goddamnit the characters were cool#traditional art#traditional drawing#also as a side note: I'm aware that technically butcherbirds aren't shrikes but some shrikes ARE nicknamed 'butcherbirds' so#sorry I really love corvids. and shrikes are like cousins and I just think they're neat :3 (can you tell I'm neruodivergent from this /lh)

For the prompt post: Terra/Caelus in a modern/no magic/human AU 👀 just them being them in a different font
Jumping ahead in the cue a bit because I'm trying to write a separate thing for them and I need to work on their characterizations.
For those who don't know who Terra/Caelus are, they are my two god characters in the universe that I am building. Where this is a human/no magic AU I'm not gonna talk about the facts that I have about them to catch people up to speed (but I WILL give them if someone asks, I will tell you so much if you ask I can't shut up about them) and we'll see where this goes.
Anyway, moving on, and I'm not paying attention to anything specific this time around so it will be under the cut ^^
─── ・ 。゚☆: .☽ . :☆゚. ───
"Love," Caelus said quietly, poking his head into the room. "Are you awake?"
"No," Terra grumbled, turning away from the door.
"Oh, okay," Caelus said. "Guess I'm going to the farmers market by myself today. That's fine, you need your rest--"
Terra was turned back around in a heartbeat, making Caelus chuckle. "We're going to the farmer's market?" She asked.
"That's what we agreed on last night, yes," Caelus confirmed.
"Who's gonna be there?"
"Well, there's no way to know for sure, but I heard through the grapevine that the smoothie maker you love so much--"
That got Terra out of bed, squeaking in excitement. She rushed around the room, clamouring to get ready. Caelus openly laughed this time, the sound reverberating in his chest.
"I'll get our bags ready," Caelus said, dipping back out of the room.
By the time he was ready, Terra came tearing out of the room. "Come on, let's go," she said.
"Shoes," Caelus said.
"Right, that would be important." She bent to grab her sandals, and Caelus raised an eyebrow.
"You sure you want to wear those?" He asked. "You know how much walking we have to do."
"It goes with the outfit, I'll be fine," Terra said. Caelus just sighed, a small smile spread across his face. He already packed her sneakers, just in case.
When Terra straightened again, Caelus held out a granola bar. "I'm not even hungry," Terra countered.
"You will be in about five minutes. It takes fifteen until we're there, and then probably another ten before we get any kind of food in our hands," Caelus said. Terra took the granola bar with a huff, rolling her eyes.
Caelus kissed her cheek before opening the door. Terra flounced through, smiling. As he was closing the door, she spun back around.
"My bag--"
Caelus held it out to her.
"Oh. Well, thank you. What about--"
"It's all in there. And I have the keys," Caelus answered.
"I really can take care of myself," Terra said.
"You can, but you were busy and excited, and I know that you get forgetful when you're like that," Caelus reasoned, turning to lock the door. "Besides, it's you. I don't mind taking care of you."
"Well, thank you anyway," Terra said. Caelus didn't have to look to see she was flustered. He could hear it in her voice.
"You'd do the same for me," Caelus reminded. He turned back to her, reaching his hand out, "Come on, let's get going before it gets too busy."
Terra took his hand, smiling. There wasn't much conversation between the two of them on the walk down, but that was fine by Caelus' means. He got to watch Terra take in the scenery, munching on the granola bar that he gave her. She was as handsome as ever like that, early sunlight making her glow. There would be a few things along their walk that would spark dialogue between them, usually in the form of Terra remembering a fact that she told him about certain landmarks or ones that were tangentially related to whatever train of thought she had in her head. It was always something new with her.
For example, they were passing by a construction site that had been there for ages, and Terra gasped.
"Did you know that this is gonna be the new Playhouse?" Terra asked. "Cause I did not until I was looking it up a few days ago."
"I actually did not know that," Caelus hummed. "I had never thought about where it was moving, just that it was."
"I also found out that a lot of people were upset they're moving the old one," Terra said. "Which, I get, but also that building is so old. They're building a new one because it's getting unsafe to be in there. Not to mention the new one is gonna have, like, three different-sized theatres, so it actually allows for more events to happen."
"Interesting," Caelus mused. He was never sure what ever prompted Terra to look up this information, but it was entertaining.
Once they got to the farmers market, Terra bolted for a food truck, tugging Caelus along. It didn't take as long as usual to get some food, and they were sitting at their usual picnic table in no time. A few of their friends found them, and they joined as well. Caelus hadn't seen the three in a while, it was a nice surprise.
"We've been out of town on a contract," was the explanation given by Ases.
"Can't separate the three of you, huh?" Terra teased.
"We're just that good," Amos said, slinging his arm around Ditia, the third in their group, who rolled their eyes.
"Oh!" Ases said, drumming against the table briefly, "Terra! Did you see the new mugs?!"
"New mugs?" Terra questioned. "Where?"
"I have to show you, come on," Ases said, as she reached across the table to grab Terra's hand.
"I'll be right back," Terra said hurridly to Caelus, just managing to kiss him on the cheek before being pulled off. Amos shouted after them, jumping up to follow.
Ditia sighed, resting their elbow on the table so they could put their head in their hand. "Never a dull moment with them, huh?"
"Never," Caelus agreed, smiling. "Wouldn't change it though, would you?"
"Never," Ditia parroted, giving a smile of their own.
"They're gonna come back with so many mugs," Caelus murmured, before going to take a sip of his smoothie.
"So many mugs," Ditia agreed, laughing. "five bucks says they come back with matching couple mugs."
"Yours or mine?" Caelus asked.
"Both," Ditia said.
"You know what? I'll take you on that one," Caelus said, reaching out his hand. Ditia shook it firmly.
"Brave, knowing our partners."
"Just Terra or just double A, maybe. But it's unlikely that they all come back with the same idea," Caelus said.
"We'll see about that," Ditia said, sipping their coffee.
It was fifteen minutes before Caelus saw Terra again. It was clear that the group went to more than just the mug stand, and Caelus chuckled. However, when he saw two mugs in her hand, two in Amos', and one in Ases, he groaned.
Ditia laughed, "hand it over, big guy," they said, holding out their hand.
"How'd you even know?" Caelus asked, fishing out a five-dollar bill.
"They were talking about it when we saw the stand earlier," Ditia said, pocketing the money. "I knew they'd convince Terra if she found the right set."
"That's cheating."
"That's gambling, my friend," Ditia said.
"Caelus!" Terra called out now that she was close enough. "Look! They had matching mugs!"
"I see that," Caelus said.
"They have cats on them!" Terra said, placing them down in front of him. They did in fact have cats on them, one sporting a black cat and one an orange cat. "I think they fit us perfectly."
"I think they do too, Love," Caelus said, tone soft.
"It was really Double A's idea, they were getting matching mugs for them, and they said that I should look too," Terra said.
Caelus glanced at Ditia, who winked. "You don't say."
"Look at what else I got," Terra said, starting to unload the tote bag she no doubt also bought.
Caelus smiled, settling in for the explanations that were going to accompany each item. He really couldn't go to the farmers market without this situation. However, he wasn't about to tell Terra no. He'd listen to her ramble for ages.
He wouldn't change this for the world.

uugghh when you said you like aoki because of leaning towards characters in position of power I FELT THAT ASHDHFKD even since I was a kid I somehow liked the leaders of the groups the most and it HASNT CHANGED HELP (maybe its the sense of responsibility, god knows i dont have one)
stanning daigo like look at this depressed dude steering this cruiser called Tojo out of the rocks to sink gracefully at the shallows after the previous captain (cough kiryu cough) abandoned ship. You’re doing great sweetie i’m cheering you on. Keep pretending you’re all serious and know what you’re doing king 🫡
i like it when characters are evil cause its funny to my brain :) but no real shit cause Being In A Position Of Power is so tremendous and. Powerful LIKE you are responsible for so many people ... what you do with that responsibility can be frightening or benevolent and ouuuggh.....
i've gone EXTENSIVELY into why i love daigo but a major part of it is his character progression and the fact he tried so hard for the tojo until he couldnt. i wont get TOO into it lest i end up typing TWO Why I Like This Character essays in a day but how his attitude and his experiences change over time is so cool to me and i love it so much...
#long post#masadai#i mention it in these tags im tagging it for everyones sake#snap chats#like what i love about y7 is its message that 'just because someone isn't to society's standard doesnt mean they're bad#and just because someone is 'admirable' to society's standard it doesnt mean theyre good'#its a simple message but still i love seeing it#i think that's partially why i think masadai#while hilarious and unserious as hell as a concept for the most part- also weirdly appeals to my brain on a small sincere level..#maybe it's just cause arakawa was like 'hey you know what's going on in my son's brain right... you guys are like the same age....lmao'#but it's just interesting to me to see the difference in how daigo and aoki utilize their influence and responsibility#especially in the context that technically aoki is on the 'right' side of society while daigo is on the 'wrong' side#(and obviously we know aoki's terrible person while daigo's proven to be MUCH more likeable as an individual. that type of thing is always#of course they got their positions for SIGNIFICANTLY different reasons but still.... s'cool to me...

aj infodump because i need to talk about him more but I don't feel like drawing it
• he gets terrified whenever people call him just “Amber,” because it's JUST his first name. it's obviously different when it comes from adults, but when people he knows call him Amber it's like a warning alarm goes off in his head
• he LOVESSSS drag races. he's way into the biking scheme, but he loves a good car race. he goes with steve to races a lot when they're not busy.
• he's been deemed too young to be in a biker gang unfortunately, but he still manages to snake his way into a few of their hangout spots because he's a little freak stalker who admires other bikers. his favorite place is this hidden bar owned by a gang called “Heavens Survivors”, and he knows it because of a biker guy named Hog.
• despite mainly knowing steve and sodapop, he also knows ponyboy and two-bit quite well because of how frequently they bug around the DX.
— [ he thinks of ponyboy as a nerd, and a kid. but he thinks he's neat and intelligent - way more intelligent than most his age. but he also recognizes his “classic 14 year old” traits. ]
— [ he fuckin' loves two-bit, thinks the guy is the shit because he's hilarious. but he also doesn't fuck with him too heavily. not really his vibe, because he's a quite type. but he likes two. not a bad guy. ]
— [ as for steve and sodapop, those guys are his pals :3 even though they're mostly just coworker friends, they hangout out of work too since they're nicely close in age. if he's got nothing to do, he's probably with soda and/or steve. ]
• he hates bees. hates them to death. he loves honey, but he hates bees. they're tiny little shits, and OUGHHH he hates yellowjackets even more. couldn't care for wasps, but he hates every genre of bee there is out there. (he has childhood trauma from being stung twice in one outting when he was playing lil' league, and it got his ass so bad he passed out on the field mid game despite the poison not even effecting him. he just freaked out too hard.)
• he hates parenting his little brother, but he LOVES taking care of the kid and hanging out with him. Jeanie is a real smart kid for his age just like Ponyboy, but he gets to really admire his brother a lot more than he does Ponyboy. he wishes the best for his little brother.
• but also like, just like any other brother he does indeed beat the shit out of Jeanie. lovingly. and he's never too hard on the kid, he just likes messin' with him. dangling that bitch from the ankles and shit
• he doesn't really like socs much, but he doesn't hate them either. it's one of those moments where he's like "listen, if they don't fuck with me or my buds, i see no issue. I'm not just gonna hate a bunch of people because of stigmatization and grouping people into the same bullshit because of race or how much money they got."
• same goes for literally anybody though. he's just not much of the generalization group type unless it comes to the government. that's the only part he does stigmatize. “ fuck the government ” mentality.
• he never listens to it much in public, but he is a BLUES LOVER. he loves the blues. so bad. he'll be laying in bed at home with Jimi Hendrix or The Black Keys playing with not a care in the world.
• he secretly wishes his mom would either start caring and living again or just get over herself. as much as he loves her, he really does resent her for how she acts – because she just,,, doesn't.
• his dog Donut is his favorite guy to talk to in the whole wide world. aside from Jeanie. he takes Donut everywhere, on walks and car rides just so he can yap to his puppy. And Donut just listens. and sometimes he'll bark back. He thinks they understand each other on a deeper level.
• speaking of talking, he actually usually doesn't when with people aside from those two. either he's intoxicated and rambling, or maybe he's sober and bitching.
• Gets tension headaches like a motherfucker for wearing his bandana all the time. The ultimate swagger that unfortunately pinches his head.
• his dad influenced a lot of his interests, especially bikes. his dad would take him to all sorts of shows and races, and even had a bike of his own (which AJ took once he passed), and he treasures the bikes most.
• and whilst ALSO on the topic of his dad, he hates talking about the guy. he doesn't joke about his death much, let alone bring it up, he kind of ignores the concept of "father".
• but after his death, he kind of resents the guy because of the fact he did it to himself. he's already accepted it and everything, he just can't help but feel kind of shitty about it.
• his favorite snacks are ruedas and chamoy, the strawberry candies, and ...bacon bits. Just plain bits. Couldn't tell you why.
• not much of a drinker, but he loves whiskey. that's his kind of alcohol. he's okay with some other stuff, not big on beer, not huge on vodka, and he's fond of tequila because of his dad. but whiskey is his kind of alcohol. he just likes the burn.
• if there was any weapon to designate with AJ, it'd probably be a sledgehammer. either that, or a wrench. He's the type to use tools and chains for fighting weapons instead of blades or heaters.
#aj hawkins#the outsiders oc#headcanons#except they're technically canon#i posted this early on accident and had to private and edit it bc I didn't finish my rambles#my tumblr broke whilst making this#grahhh i love him#curtis gang mention

oooooohohh a background episode about aunt lydia!!!!!!!!!!
#one thing i do really love about this show is the tiers and layers and complexities of the oppression like.#yes the aunts inflict horrible treatment on the handmaids. yes the wives are complicit in the crimes of their husbands.#yes technically the marthas have a higher position than handmaids#but you have to remember at the end of the day they're all people.#they're all human beings. who had normal lives before all this. no matter how indoctrinated they seem like. that's a normal person#you cannot dehumanize anyone involved because they are all deeply human.#the tiny peeks that you get of like. their lives before. it's so beautiful and tragic and poignant#when aunt lydia reveals she was her sister's baby's godmother.#when someone mentions reading serena's book.#when the handmaid's all told each other their real names at the grocery store.#the small moments of humanity. ouaugghh....#the handmaid's tale
