SAAVIK GOT TO LIVE A LONG LIFE RAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xxplastic-cubexx]

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...

[rawliverandgoronspice]

being a zelinker that enjoys nuance and the pairing not being the sole focus of this series is like being killed by rocks. I can only imagine how it feels like for ganon mains

hahaha well yeah I feel like. I don't mind Zelink at all, especially in certain games, and I love them having this special transcendant bond; but I feel like people who do insist Zelda games are about Zelink and nothing else, and having any other kind of HC about what their relationship means is akin to blasphemy is not that encouraging for creative interpretations overall.

either I don't understand vein's character at all or my interpretation of him runs contrary to fandom consensus

Introductions ✨✨

Hey! I'm Coriander. It's not what I go by in my other blogs on here but I want to keep things a bit more separate, at least at first. This is gonna be a long one (sorry) so I'm adding a cut.

I'm exploring Hellenic polytheism, and have only recently started, but it's something I've been considering, in a way, for over a year. I don't have a big, intense story that marks the beginning for me; I didn't necessarily feel a personal, spiritual connection to any of the deities from the time I was a young child in the way others describe, and I haven't had an intense experience that marked the beginning of my path.

I've always felt drawn to Greek mythology, though. I have a distinct memory of laying on my stomach on the floor of the school library in 3rd or 4th grade, reading a picture book about Hades and Persephone. It kept my attention the way others - even Egyptian mythology, another major interest - didn't. I, of course, had the classic queer kid experience of being super into the Percy Jackson series for a while, but my interest in it predated that. The specific deities I've been drawn to have changed somewhat as I've grown up, and they definitely shaped some of my interests. But delving into them again has helped me see connections that weren't explicitly connected to Greek mythology. I felt drawn to Athena growing up, for example, and my love of owls was definitely shaped by that. Even though that has settled into the background somewhat, that connection has persisted in things like my knitting and desires to dye yarn and learn how to weave (side note: I associate crochet more with Apollo, actually, despite it also being a fiber art). I felt connected to Artemis and Persephone as a kid, but that waned as I got older, discovered I was trans, and began my transition. I've felt connected to Hestia and her quiet hearth-keeping since I learned about her: I've always strived to make myself & my space safe and welcoming for others, and being told I succeeded in that is one of the best compliments I've received. But my interests in the morbid (ex Pompeii & the Paris catacombs), psychopomps, rocks & minerals, and keys weren't explicitly related to Hades. Some of the connections didn't click until I started to look into him more seriously about a year ago. I was an artist and had interests in writing, poetry, singing, and playing instruments long before it actually clicked that all of those fell into Apollo's domain, as I associated Athena far more with visual arts as a kid. I also didn't realize that he & Artemis cover diseases (another long-running interest) until very recently. The concept of xenia, too, was something I grew up with to some extent, even though no one called it that. My father modelled it to my siblings and I; I even learned about it within the context of ancient Greece at some point growing up and it stuck with me, despite not knowing the name.

I grew up Mormon, and was incredibly devout until college, when the pandemic forcibly separated me from that environment and I not only discovered that I was queer in several ways, but realized that the Church 1) wasn't safe to stay in and 2) wasn't actually true (which came later, when I started to get over my fear of reading "anti-Mormon literature"). During that period between those two realizations I got into tarot and using plants and crystals for their correspondences (two other interests growing up), as well as using rocks to ground myself. At that time, I considered myself a "liminal Mormon", and was reaching out to Heavenly Mother specifically via tarot. But as it set in that Mormonism specifically, and Christianity generally, wasn't for me, I got more and more interested in modern witchcraft separated from the belief system I was raised in.

It never quite felt right, though. The constant need for protections and doing something "the right way" lest things backfire and you invite the wrong thing into your home, or hurt yourself, or others, or or or, made my anxious & scrupulous brain go into overdrive. I wasn't even sure I believed in it spiritually, or if I was just interested in it from a mindfulness standpoint, and staring down the barrel of comically high piles of research without knowing where to start was exhausting. The concept of dual deities, the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine, put a bad taste in my mouth (which bled over into Persephone for a while because she and Hades are often used to symbolize those archetypes- sorry Persephone). But, not wanting to listen too much to my discomfort (since part of it may have been, and probably was, prior conditioning), I pushed ahead and actually completed one ritual that had all of the steps - cleansing, representations of the four elements and directions, etc. - and was very carefully designed to leave room for growth and change. It represented the start of my path. I still have the jar I made during the ritual, though I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it.

Around that time, I was considering whether or not to work with deities- specifically Hades, as that was who I felt the most drawn to at the time. The idea interested me, but I wasn't sure if it was from an academic or spiritual angle. I'd really only seen deity work from a modern witchcraft/neo-pagan perspective which, again, didn't sit right with me. On top of that, I wasn't quite ready to let go of Christianity even though I already functionally had, and was terrified of doing something "wrong" and getting, for lack of a better term, sent to (figurative) hell. I decided to do a simple "yes/no" tarot pull and got about the clearest "no" you can get: a reversed Ace of Swords. So I decided to let it rest and that, if I ever felt drawn to it again, I could re-approach the topic.

So, for over a year, I didn't touch it. Continuing with witchcraft after the ritual didn't feel right, either, so my altar collected dust while I tried to sort out my spirituality (or lack thereof). I settled on "I don't know and that's okay" and left it at that, trusting that when the time came, and I had more energy and mental space, that I would be able to start looking into things again.

I never truly stopped thinking about the idea of deity work/worship, though. It was always in the back of my mind. I figured it was because of the way I was raised and tried to sever my idea of spirituality from how I was conditioned while I worked through my religious trauma, got on anxiety medication, and learned more about myself and how I interacted with the world (including that I have both ADHD and autism, something that surprised no one).

Recently I talked with a witchy friend about my thoughts on divinity and what is or isn't out there (neither of us were sure but we both felt like there was something), and that conversation gave me the button I needed to start looking into paganism again. I realized at work a week or two later that I could just look up the different paths of paganism (a term I'd recently heard that hadn't clicked before then) and see if there was one that did fit. The first site I found not only had a clear, concise explanation for belief systems I hadn't knowingly come across before, but it touched on Hellenic polytheism and gave a recommendation for someone to watch to learn more about it. And unlike the sharp knot in my chest that warned me away from attending BYU, and going on a mission, and delving further into modern witchcraft as I'd been introduced to it, learning about Hellenic polytheism felt right. It was heavy and grounding and like home. Many of the issues I'd had with other neo-pagan systems - the constant vigilance & protections & concerns over trickster spirits, for example - simply didn't exist there, or were approached very differently. I still had a mental block about it, though, and realized it was because of that tarot pull a year prior. So I did another one, and got a clear "Yes, jump right in. We're waiting for you". And that's where I've been since which, granted, hasn't been for very long. I've felt especially connected to Apollo and Aphrodite recently, who I believe reached out in a different tarot pull recently - using the same card, actually - which is interesting because while I've appreciated different ways Aphrodite has been depicted, I haven't felt very connected to her in a way I realized was her until recently. It makes sense, though- I got into my first relationship around the same time I did that ritual, and not only are we still together a year later, but a trinket I used to ground myself during those first few months is also pretty directly associated with her. I'm planning on adding it to her altar/shrine area as soon as I find it (it's also still amongst the moving wreckage).

But anyway, hi! If you read this far thank you for taking the time out of your day to do so. If anyone has recommendations for books or other educational resources, or discord servers/other online forum-esque communities, please feel free to share. I've been enjoying looking through the tags and getting a feel for the community here, too; hopefully I'm here to stay.

I'm gonna ramble about fic writing (while taking a break from actually writing, but I'm making progress this time! I promise! woohoo. knock on wood). ANYWAY, one of my favorite things to consider as far as characterization goes is self-awareness. Because there's so many different ways and degrees to which a protagonist can be self-aware, and I just LOVE seeing how characters shift (not necessarily 'grow') over the timeline of a story. I love thinking about where a specific character would choose willful ignorance, where they would choose to come to terms with a harsh reality, where they would be entirely oblivious, where they're NOT oblivious but can't even verbalize it in their own internal monologue... chef's kiss. My favorite stuff to write

i think ive seen this idea around a few times but not too recently, but i dont really understand when people say that skyward sword fucked up zelda lore or whatever. idk if i missed anything in sksws story or just happened to miss something in general but ig. i dont really understand that opinion

[valiant-portabella-pirkko]

fun fact: I actually have not 1, not 2, but 3 dedicated playlists of OST-style music for my various Guild Wars 2 AUs, and... that, of all ways, is the closest I get to "outlining" my stories. every sequence has a dedicated track that I picked out according to what I'd imagine playing in-game if it was an actual playable story arc in Guild Wars 2.

Regrowth's playlist has 59 songs and Flourish has 28.

then the Tideturners have one too, with a grand total of 22.

......... I don't have a problem,

TPoF Fox Headcanons (Vol. 1 - General)

Various TPoF Fox headcanons I thought of in response to a strawpage gimmick/request. :3c

a/n: If you’d like me to share headcanons based on more specific topics, please feel free to ask in my tumblr inbox. :)

word count: 1k

warnings/tags: SFW + NSFW | captive/captor themes, toxic dynamic, power imbalance, just lots of headcanons, nothing too “eyebrow-raising” tbh. :p

Ren is a bit of a drinker. I see him drinking most days after work to take the edge off from a stressful auction or especially brutal livestream.

His typical go-to drink is an old-fashioned, or just whiskey straight if he isn’t feeling up for making a cocktail.

If he gets especially drunk, I can see him expressing deep remorse for his line of work or how he treats potential lovers/pets. Whether this remorse is fully genuine or just theatrics is left up for you to decide.

Ren also smokes cigarettes, but only rarely if his day is extra stressful. He certainly drinks more than he smokes.

Ren prefers partners and pets that are more compliant and don’t really challenge his authority. Though, I can see him being a bit more “loose” with his dominance and being more charitable with pets or partners that don’t fully adhere to his “rule of law.” He may be fair, but don’t push it. Little mistakes will not warrant drastic punishment, but unruliness will be a surefire way to piss him off, and he may not be able to handle himself accordingly if worked up. (i.e. you will not live long with him if you don’t behave.)

Ren asserts his authority and dominance in physical ways, but also verbally. He uses patronizing and condescending speech to those “beneath” him. He particularly likes using the word “little” to describe those he holds power over and to make them feel small, breakable, or insignificant. (e.g. “little girl/boy,” “little pet,” etc.) Adding “my” and “sweet” in front of the word “little” also adds on another layer of patronization and possessiveness, so those are also mainstays in his vernacular, but are used in a sweeter or gentler context mostly. :3

Ren has no set physical type of person he prefers to seek out for his needs, be it sexual or to fulfill his twisted urges, though I think he would prefer partners/pets who are physically larger than him, either taller or by body mass. Partially due to the satisfaction and power he feels from dominating someone larger, and because he’s mostly accustomed to dealing with people larger than he is.

He does however prefer people who can be described as “cute” or “innocent.”

THOUGH…I do see him favoring chubbier/rounder people… :3c Could it be lingering preferences because of Strade? Possibly! Or because he just finds roundness a more “cute” feature.

Big doe eyes are his biggest weakness. If you bat your lashes just right as you look into his eyes, you MAY be able to win him over and manipulate him in your favor, at least for a little while and if you don’t over-extend your reach.

It was once said in a post by Gato that Ren doesn’t have a tits or ass preference, whichever is bigger he prefers, but I like to think if REALLY had to choose, it would be tits because of his love of anime/hentai and the abundance of large breasts that media tends to showcase.

Ren has a preference for people who present in a more feminine manner. Male, female, gender-nonconforming, or non-binary, Ren will forcibly feminize his partners and pets to make himself feel more “manly” in comparison.

In the same vein, he has an affinity for dollification…He is someone I could see playing with dolls secretly when he was younger, and having his own life sized doll to “play” with is his biggest teenage dream realized. :p

If his partner or pet has a menstrual cycle, you better believe he is VERY into it…He can smell the pheromones they give off and can deduce what part of their cycle they are in…Ovulation, Luteal Phase, Follicular, to Menstruation…there is no hiding from him…and no, he will not buy you pads or tampons. Only diva cups or free-bleeding for you! (Use your imagination as to why.) :p

Ren’s favored sexual position is obviously doggy with biting added to the neck and shoulder if being especially rough, but he does also enjoy more “romantic” positions like missionary to see his partner or pet’s pretty face. (Or tits, whichever suits his fancy in the moment.) :p

I don’t see Ren as someone who necessarily relishes in the tears of his partners or pets unless they are crying FOR him and not BECAUSE of him.

For livestream victims and auction products, I feel he couldn’t care less about them and their feelings; they are merely a means to a financial end while his partners and pets have potential for being lifelong romantic companions, something he has always dreamed of attaining.

Fox seems like the type of man to fall in love with/become obsessed with whomever he sticks his dick into and they actually reciprocate/enjoy being fucked by him. He’s had this whole notion of “no one will ever fuck you willingly” ingrained into his psyche his entire life, so the thought of someone actually enjoying being used by him leaves him with a high he will ALWAYS want to chase.

Ren craves romance more than he would care to admit. He believes he is owed romance and the other spoils of life after facing severe trauma and rising up from his hardships and making a name for himself despite his misfortunes; but at the same time he doesn’t think he is fully deserving of it because of the awful things he has done and the pain he causes towards those he is supposed to love.

Ren’s youthful spirit derives from his stolen young adult years under Strade’s captivity and his subsequent foray in the sale of humans and torture-for-profit livestreams. One moment he’ll seem his actual age, then at another moment’s notice, he can almost seem like he is 19 again.

HELP I JUST HAD A THOUGH

WHAT IF

Blunt reader became a harbinger

SO thought I’d update anyone missing out bc of the new year but-

I made this silly thing called Blunt Language AU, that was my 1st post for this blog/fandom actually! :D

I’ll link it here, but TLDR: it’s just our modern speech sounding “ancient” to the Teyvatians, who speak really flowery/fluffy/lots of context in comparison!

That’s all you rlly need to know to read this I think, so enjoy! :)

☆

u fall into Genshin Impact, and Snezhnaya is where you land first type of energy lol

weird golden star falling from the sky? that sounds like a prophecy the Tsaritsa knows abt alright

so they sent Childe, one of the friendliest (if not The Friendliest) Harbinger, to see if it was a valid claim you’d finally descended,

and ofc as soon as the redhead heard you try and talk to him, he knew the claims by the small village nearby (who had taken u in from the cold weather/taken care of you) were legit

pantalone did manage to squeeze some examples of what you’d possibly sound like into his head before he left so while Childe personally has a tough time talking to you, it doesn't mean he’s not willing to try!! >:)

he mostly just kept asking questions forever until he understood what you meant, and as soon he got u were asking abt the Tsaritsa, the other Harbingers, himself, even how to get Sneznayan-made clothes lol

he was like: 👀👀👀???!!!!

it wasn't so much recruitment at first as it was “omg the exalted one wishes to learn abt us, the Tsaritsa and her Harbingers? abt me?? well would your highness like to come to our palace perchance???!!!!”

= have u ever been seduced and worshipped by a god and her country?? would you like to- ??? ← Childe actually

and with that convinces you to come straight to the Harbingers/Tsaritsa’s very home

No, you’re not just spoiled.

No, you’re not just pampered.

You are cosseted and coveted.

The Tsaritsa makes her first in person appearance to the people in decades to personally announce your return, and to get a festival going to literally parade you into the capital lol

And tbh it was kind of shocking how quickly the people of Snezhnaya are able to whip out the party supplies, within days of traveling via horses/sleds/carriage/trains all kinds of transportation, u arrived at the capital in full swing of a parade for you

The Tsaritsa herself in what looks like a genshin-ified kokoshnik, the elaborate headress draped with a veil so thin it looks like frost covering her face,

flocked on either side by her harbingers in full (kinda goth) ceremonial outfits waiting on your arrival too

needless to say you are properly smitten intimidated

and you stay nervous around them for the first few days or so,

that is before you run into the weekly, what you would call “family dinner nights”, but they call “dinner reports”…

in which Childe, the only one you’d been comfortable enough around to be a bit more genuine to, and surprisingly the only one to quickly adapt to your speech after traveling with you for days, would translate for you what tf you were saying to them vs. what everyone at the table was saying to you/around you

you would also like to propose other titles for these weekly dinner meetings you’re invited to, aka “family feud dinner night/family fight night/harbinger on harbinger hate night/fruit on fruit crimes, if you will” 💀

the Tsaritsa is just peacefully talking to you abt any and everything, bc ofc Pierro’s on her right, and ur on her left

(she and Pierro are surprisingly soft spoken, very polite, and able to say something interesting/take an interest in whatever subject you all end up on)

u don't think you've ever been more comfortable and on such equal footing around ppl sm older than you (what are older ppl to you, but to them ur literally fucking eldritch with how ancient u are, and u can tell with how they treat u like it lmao)

hard cut back to the rest of the table:

an argument that just gets louder and louder has broken out between Childe, Dottore, La Signora, and Pantalone abt who should get free time with you first/get to do smth with you first as you get over ur adjustment period here, Childe has taken his butter knife to throw and just barely missed Dottore’s eye, and it is now embedded in the back of his fancy chair (the servants placing down dinner courses just move abt w/the most bored expressions on their faces)

(u send half the table if this group gets out of hand and u just: “Please shut the fuck up, each of ur comebacks take 30 minutes and it’s killing me” 💀 bc they're the most likely to understand u too, even Pierro/Capitano/Pulcinella chuckle a little, and u think the Tsaritsa smirked under her veil)

ur honestly too scared to see what Scarmouche, Sandrone, and Arlecchino are arguing about, because they're arguing so silently further down the table. They have murder in their eyes.

Columbina and Capitano are having a peaceful collab over weapons, armor, and clothing to offer you, Pulcinella is close enough to both participate in that convo and in you, Pierro, and the Tsaritsa’s convos too

by the 2nd week you've decided to choose chaos, and get them to play board games together sometimes (they cant all make it all the time, tbh u don't know if u can handle that either) but groups of them will play at a time

u remembered early on what a dick Dottore was, and sentenced asked if he’d like to play this new board game called “Monopoly” from ur world with Childe, Pantalone, Pierro, Arlecchino, La Signora, and Scaramouche all together :)

(so what ur trying to bring khaenri’ah part 2 down on his head as punishment?? u owe scara and collei that at least)

Columbina is more than happy to help get you Harbinger-like clothes to wear since ur so interested in the style!! (yes yesss get converted, she already has a title picked out for you)

she also giggles anytime u talk abt whether u like an outfit or not, bc u just “no thank you I’d rather wear a trash bag than that shirt, but lets try another?”

meanwhile the tailors in the background u could literally edit them to one of those videos where it just zooms in on their faces with a vine boom of shock

like Pierro, ur unranked, just above the other Harbingers really, as it wouldn't do to make you the 12th Harbinger or smth

the names they gave you being, “The Playwright” or “The Renaissance” or even “Drammaturgo”

(pls anyone who speaks Italian correct if I'm wrong ToT )

ok but the first time, unsurprisingly, one of them got snappy with you, likely Scara I would think,

Scaramouche, pissy: “And what shall we do if it appears our almighty god is perhaps a descender who is entirely human? Why I dare say you’d be transgressing on privileges that were never yours to begin with!”

Every other Harbinger, the Tsaritsa herself, the servants, the frost on the walls: 😶😦😨😶‍🌫️

You, unbothered, still eating and fully expecting this moment: “I don't want to hear it from someone who has god-mommy issues. You shouldn’t have an opinion about me, ur biased.”

yeah, so obviously, they’re emotionally all attached now whether they know it or not, and this was of course the moment they realized they're god would fit in so perfectly here

(the other nations are going to have to pry you from Snezhnaya from their cold dead hands, esp since u now have legal deniability to visit bc ur technically a Harbinger, only commanded by her majesty lol)

(Scaramouche, Arlecchino, and Sandrone were fighting about who gets the room nearest to your quarters lol)

(Capitano won, somehow??)

☆

sorry ive been slow lately guys, been just trying to work on alllll the fics these past weeks/days/however long its been??

oh wow, shocking twist and new development, but now I'm starting to see a lot more industry people than before conceding that totk had serious high level flaws and express frustration at the design philosophy developed around that title

this wasn't the case even six months ago, so that's something

[convexfuss]

- GHOST PERI AU -

(AKA Petrified!Peri because that name is cool as FUCK.)

REFERENCES ALSO AVAILABLE HERE!

REGULAR COLORS / HIS BODY [NOT GHOST]

GHOST COLORS / HIM AS A GHOST

SO. You may be asking, "what happened to him?" And I am here to EXPLAIN! :]

This AU is still a fairly [pun unintended] big WIP, so some details are still all over the place/undecided, and some may change over time; constructive criticism, opinions/thoughts, questions, are all appreciated!

The general idea is, well... divergent from the finale. What if, after the chip is grabbed and Hazel, Wanda, [and maybe Cosmo? I don't recall if he goes with them/ends up somewhere else] go to fix the wand, Peri explodes. And it gets undone when Hazel wishes to fix Fairy World. Buuuttt... not quite!

It wasn't her 1 Millionth Wish that she used up on Fairy World— which is why it Doesn't Quite Fix Him Going Kaboomey. But I imagine that having 1Mil Wishes had a mild influence on What Happened and why exploding DID get fixed... sort of. [I need to brainstorm specifics on this.]

ANYWAY.

Peri looks GENERALLY normal most of the time, except for, well, *gestures at reference.* Outside of THAT [cracked wand, cracked crown [crack hidden by the glow], slightly off color pallete], there's some other stuff that's just a Hint of Wrong.

Like coughing up confetti and/or rainbows [without any other sign of magical backup [which he can't experience anymore because he did technically already die via backup.]] And sometimes the funny silly wacky expressions that happened during buildup [big ol' eyes/pupils, star shaped pupils, funny faces [like when he was talking to Dev.]

Throwing this in here. Sometimes he just stares like the TBH Creature. It's kinda silly kinda funny. I need to make a Petrified!Peri TBH emote because that fits well.

I was ALSO thinking about the idea that sometimes limbs can detach [the ghost fairy in that one ep is what gave me this thought], mostly for expressive purposes/fun silly purposes. It can be seen in this image here! Still DEBATING on this, though.

ANYWAY.

ANYWAY.

Cosmo and Wanda Don't Know He Died [because of not being right there] But something Is Off. Peri probably doesn't at first either until they [themself] put it together through context clues, and then they're like, "ooohh no, mom and dad probably don't know I exploded!" And he gets REALLY nervous about them finding out because that'd be A Lot and he doesn't want to Worry Them [because... he fucking died.]

So. There's a lot of him just trying not to Act Suspicious. Which only makes them both concerned! I have so many silly funny interactions between them that I imagine, actually!

Like...

Peri: *Talking. Suddenly... star pupils!*

Wanda: Um. Sweetie?

Peri: Hey do you see that?

Cosmo: Oooh, see what?

Peri: Over there! *Points.*

Cosmo + Wanda: *Looks over.*

Peri: *Disappears.*

WHICH. YEAH. SO. GHOST FORM. They're completely hidden when they're actually a GHOST, and has no wand/wings when they're a ghost, either [they do have wings normally, I just forgot to include them in the reference.] And I imagine whenever they poof into their ghost form that they leave a tiny bit of confetti behind!

ALSO.

He reassigns himself to Dev on his own [who didn't forget after the finale.] And his magic is kind of fucked up. Cause he's DEAD and look at his fucking WAND. So wishes kinda get fucked up when granted a bit sometimes ehehehaha...

ANYWAY.

I am also dumping my Peri headcanons onto him. They're transmasc nonbinary and use he/they pronouns and they're also aroace! :3

PLEASE. PLEASE send me any asks if you have any questions! You don't have to ask to draw them, either— just tag me in any art if you ever make any, please! :]

How Allison Cameron would react to a reader who has low empathy

Warnings: Cameron being a little insensitive at first due to ignorance, general warning for her guilt trippy/overly judgmental nature (which I personally love tbh but that's just me), brief mentions of death/sickness in a medical setting/context

A/N: this is partially based on the opposites attract trope but I mostly just wanted to write something with Cameron being her pathetic self /affectionate

Honestly knowing Cameron she would most likely be pretty judgmental of you at first I'm not even going to lie, probably even going as far as to avoid you unless it was absolutely necessary to work together

This would only be lessened some if you were her superior or someone who she looked up to in general (basically someone like House)

Even then she'd still be a tad bit wary of you, probably assuming that because you display low empathy you don't really care about other people

Obviously that's an outdated stereotype that doesn't apply to every single person with low empathy but as someone who wears her heart on her sleeve for everyone to see she'd most likely buy into it

It's only when she sees you comforting the family of a dying patient that she realizes you actually do care, just in a different way that she does

She does her best to put her preconceived notions about you to the side so she can get to know you better, and finds out that you're actually a decent person, if not the best

Sure, you struggle with empathy and displaying your feelings in a way that seems genuine, but it doesn't make you a bad person. It's just the way you are

Realizing she made a mistake when it came to judging you before she even got to know you, she for sure goes out of her way trying to make it up to you, even if you insist it's fine

She gains a new perspective and a certain amount of respect for you after that- and if you want to go down that road, maybe she even goes so far as to forming some sort of crush on you like she did for House, though whether it's because she actually likes you or because she thinks she can "fix" you is up for debate

End notes: I love Cameron so much she's my favorite girlfailure ever <3

Some Hatchetverse headcanons

I've been thinking about implications.....

I've been saving these up for a while so I can do a megapost so here we are. I've pulled in points of evidence where I can but I don't think there are any outright spoilers (the cut is just mostly for length) but so be aware that there are at least some context spoilers.

This ended up being long enough as it is but maybe I will make a part 2 especially once i've rewatched NPMD

TGWDLM

It's probably obvious in how I play him but I'm of course an Autistic Paul believer. I see how he acts in myself and some of the things he does in my friends and also this and this video add years to my life

Since Bill is like 13 years older than Paul according to the wiki at the time of TGWDLM, I like to imagine that Bill maybe either interviewed him or mentored him after he joined CCRP. I mention this in the tags of this post but to further on it, I can totally imagine Paul immediately latching onto Bill as someone who is very kind and supportive especially to younger team members (see Melissa), especially since he didn't have a particularly supportive upbringing (see being taken to musicals and made to feel like shit).

I'm assuming that Paul joined CCRP upon leaving university (since he seems like a one-job kind of guy, and I'm basing this off my friend who has a similar seeming-job), which would put him at around age 21-22. Alice is 13 years younger than him according to the wiki, which means he may have been babysitting her from when she was around age 9. Which I think is adorable, no wonder she thinks he's cool. He probably brought over his gameboy and let her use it to play Animal Crossing.

Speaking of videogames, we know from Forever and Always that he plays videogames to relax. Or at least one. Which do we think this is? I'm taking suggestions but tbh, the only game that truly takes up 100% of my concentration and distracts me from my thoughts and anxiety (which I also absolutely displace onto Paul) are rhythm games. For me it's Project Diva but I can actually see him getting really into Rhythm Heaven. I don't think he's a big rpg person or games where you play as a character (e.g. mario or final fantasy)

This kind of leads into the biggest question and I think the biggest source of Paul HC contention........ does he actually dislike musicals? Do I think he dislikes music? No. I think he likes some specific music and may even, in rare cases, be caught humming. Do I think he likes musicals? No. I'm a Paul vs Musicals believer. I think this comes from a) when being dragged to a school that (presumably had a theatre programme whereas his didn't so) had better resources and more funding, where kids were being applauded and praised while he was made to feel small. This comes from this video where it's explained way better and I would definitely recommend watching it, but it is representative of his own lack of self-value and how he puts his needs last. But ALSO b) I do also think it's an autistic/ overstimulation thing from the setting. It can be both! I definitely think he gets overstimulated easily. (This comes from just after Not Your Seed where he blocks his ears and curls up to stop himself from hearing the girls sing/scream at him, despite the fact he KNOWS at this point that the infection is spread by being killed and re-animated. So sitting still there was the worst thing for him to do in practicality.) TLDR: Musicals: NO. Music: Some is ok. Get this man some Loops Earbuds and he MIGHT be able to go to a concert with you.

In that same video as above actually they suggest that the Infected retain some degree of their own personality, and the infection has the side effect of removing a lot of inhibitions and removing the reason to hide what's inside them. It's not technically my headcanon it's from that vid WHICH YOU SHOULD WATCH, but it basically explains why in Join us and Die, the change in Charlotte's personality is so jarring. My HC is that she's been penting up so much anger and upset for so long regarding Sam and her situation, and feeling powerless. No wonder when she loses her reason not to be sweet and polite all the time she goes all guts out rambo on everyone (ESPECIALLY TED who has been essentially using her from her perspective).

Speaking of Charlotte, I think it is less of a HC and more just how she comes across, but I think she is a very big romantic. She dreams of being a disney princess and being swept off her feet. See: just before Tied Up My Heart where she runs like a little girly and kneels down like she's fucking Snow White. I love and support her. All she gets is Sam and Ted and she deserves better.

Emma was on her way home from work when the meteor struck... Did Infected!Nora call her BACK into work in the middle of the night to practice Cup of Roasted Coffee? I'm surprised she didn't quit right there holy shit. Knowing that she probably did the whole of TGWDLM on 0 hours sleep, and also was probably already exhausted from having a job AND putting herself through college makes me respect her so much. That would explain why in Perky's Buds and Forever and Always she's so much more chill, she's actually slept!

I think Paul is actually very physically affectionate once it comes to it. I love that Jon Matteson basically has him grabbing onto Emma (in Cup of Poison Coffee & Join Us and Die), Charlotte (in Show Me Your Hands), and Bill (in Not Your Seed) to protect them at every opportunity. He even goes to catch Sam when he falls at the end of Show Me Your Hands despite the fact that he's been threatening them with police violence for the last 3 minutes (I know this is probably a staging thing to keep Jeff safe but still). If someone is in danger his immediate reflex is to grab and put himself in the way. It's Fight, Flight, or Fling your arms around your friends.

Why is Paul the best dressed person in the office? Bill and Ted both just wear shirts of different colours and a colourful tie but Paul is the only one in a full suit jacket and black tie. Is this because he's hard working or professional? No, further down I mention how I think he's actually quite lazy. Is it because he's boring? No I don't think so, he has things he likes! Even if his contentment with them considered 'dull' or 'mundane' by the rest of the world. No, here's what I think: he wears a suit jacket while everyone else is just in shirts because this man's circulation is NONEXISTANT. His hands are CHILLY and he needs some mittens. Melissa, please turn off the AC in floor 3. This man is Too Cold.

Ted thinks Paul is his best friend and thinks Bill is lame. Bill thinks Paul is his best friend and thinks Ted is a weirdo. Paul thinks hmm i want some coffee. Both of them have a kind of unspoken tension about it meanwhile Paul is just No Thoughts head Empty. JK i do think he thinks Bill is his best friend but he doesn't see it as much of a massive deal as Bill does

Black Friday

I like the idea that 'But they are intimate' becomes a local Hatchetfield meme along the lines of 'Oh god they were roommates'. Tim starts saying it at school and the kids who've never processed that word before all start saying it because it's hilarious, then it gets on tiktok and you know how it goes. Emma is cringing the whole time, until Paul realises and cringes as well, and then she uses it to laugh at/with him.

I know it's not technically a headcanon... but after watching a review of Black Friday, I have an alternate version in my head that addresses some of the pacing in the second act. (don't get me wrong I love BF but i do get where the guy is coming from!) where Ethan gets to live to the end of the musical. I'm an Ethan fan personally esp how he becomes such a father figure to Hannah and is so supportive of Lex. He wants to marry her in Yellow Jacket ffs!! Let them be close! I have this image built up in my head of him wanting to defend them from all their problems with his tough exterior but being frustrated and helpless that he can't actually do anything to address their real, systemic socio-economic problems. He gets patched up by Becky, and sticks with her and Tom to prevent them from finding Hannah, watching and juxtaposing their descent into Wiggly madness. During Do You Want to Play, he fights with Tom and Becky to protect Hannah but is knocked out and ends up getting taken to Linda along with Becky where they get tied up. Before Lex arrives with Tom, he manages to free himself with his switch blade. He gives it to Becky so she can free herself but runs to help Hannah. Without the doll to summon Wiggly, they try to sacrifice him in order to bring Wiggly through the portal/give him a vessel like Nibbly. He comes face to face with Wiggly himself as he and Wiley try to convince Ethan to come over to Wiggly's side, preying on his eagerness to throw money at Lex and Hannah's problems to save them (as he does in Yellow Jacket). In the end his knowledge that just the nice moments he is there for Hannah and supports her through her visions are what matters saves him. He gets his own song (maybe with echoing stings from Made in America or Black Friday) but just before Lex arrives, knowing they failed, Linda stabs him. Lex gets to save him this time and they have a tearful reunion, and get to sing together in the final number. TLDR Thank you Dragons that's my pitch I'm accepting investments to let Ethan live

Also not really a headcanon, but I ADORE that in the series so far, the two characters that John Macnamara has trusted to save the world are Lex and Paul, two people who are just trying to live their lives and get through the day but care about their friends and will do whatever it takes when the chips are down. Except the president he doesn't count because he shit the bed and that was the whole point

We know that Wiley/Wilbur Cross was John Macnamara's mentor. I imagine mourning losing him to the Black and White must have been awful for him. In TGWDLM he says 'The experiences I've acrued... have given me a deeper understanding of the cosmos and of our place in it. I follow a higher law than any institution could decree, and that's the universal truth of love and the strength of the human heart.' I went into this about to write that the experience might have been losing his mentor, but wouldn't that have taught him the opposite? Wilbur's heart was weak and his mind was lost... But what if Wilbur went into the black and white to save John? It was an act of love and strength all along.

I love lex more than any one and she deserves better.

NPMD

I'm a trans ftm Richie believer and this is definitely not just me displacing my feelings onto him... This is mainly because I think it would make that scene where he gets accepted by the football bros even stronger and I need to see it happen...

I also think he probably draws and is writing a manga sue me

I think that he likes magic the gathering...... I've just gotten into it and I swear that that's not just the only reason why! I think Paul got him some (Paul likes boardgames which we know from TGWDLM and a card game like this seems like the next logical step into nerddom before dnd) to bond with him and it spiraled from there.

I explain my reasons why I like the idea of Paul and Richie being close below, but I think Paul comes to Richie's games sometimes to support him, especially when he started out being a mascot. He needs Loops and to sleep for 17 hours afterward to recover but he is there for Richie GDI!

Also not a HC but Grace Chastity is my favourite character and she deserves better. I love THIS video on her and basically support every suggestion about her, but I wanted to highlight that there's an alternate universe where she works through her issues in a healthy relationship with Jason/someone else and becomes the kinkiest guidance councilor in the US. I want her to have a supportive partner who lets her explore!

Nightmare time:

We know from Hey Melissa, that Paul puts in headphones when he doesn't want to engage with people at work. What does he listen to? He could very well be a podcast person, but I'm willing to bet that he actually does like some music. His hate for musicals seems specific to the setting and the social awkwardness stemming from childhood events, so here's my pitch: I think he listens most to movie soundtracks. I think in one of Jon Matteson's livestreams he mentions that CCRP was initially created to be a buzzfeed style movie review company, we know he watched Moana and has opinions on it, and we know from when he asks Emma about film that this is something he at least engages with. I can imagine him fucking vibing to the opening of the Hobbit or something when trying to concentrate.

Not really a headcannon since it's essentially confirmed in Hey Melissa (Mr Davidson: Don't work too hard! | Paul: I don't!) and also the fact that he 'spends his days surfing the web' rather than working, but I think Paul is actually quite lazy and a huge procrastinator.

We know from Forever and Always that Emma's line to try to kiss Paul for the first time was 'want to smoke some pot and make out'. Do we think they got high and had their first make out session like that? I like to think so. Follow up question, what is Paul like high? I've never smoked anything before so definitely open to suggestions. But since Emma enjoys it so much I do think Paul partakes with her occasionally to share in something she likes, and if anyone else he knows found out they would be shocked to think of him as a stoner. It has helped with his anxiety.

My favourite characters from Nightmare Time are Duke and Miss Holloway... I love them sm they even inspired a story I'm currently writing. HOWEVER... I do have a bone to pick with Holloway over that fucking note. 'Could I have BEEN any clearer?' YES IT COULD QUEEN. If you know someone is going to be faced with a body they can't let be taken to the morgue, then INDICATE that and don't make him feel bad for then you having to change your identity if it's that important! This is unlicensed Duke himbofication and, while he may indeed be a himbo, forcing that on him is unethical!

General:

I'm not too familiar with the All-Jon-Matteson-Characters-Are-Related family tree, but I do like the idea that i've seen floating around that Richie and Daniel (DANIEL!! MY BABY!!) are brothers and are Gary Goldstein's kids from various affair partners, with Paul being his half-brother (hence the different surnames) and so uncle to his kids. From Paul going to Sycamore, it seems as though his parents weren't the most wealthy, so I can definitely see Gary, becoming a ruthless lawyer to wealthy clients, favouring getting a high income and financial security, rather than relationships with his kids and partner(s). We know from Forever and Always that Paul is also savvy in terms of financial security, insurance, etc... but didn't go off the deep end that much, so I think he is very supportive of his Nephews. I think maybe I saw the family tree thing on @boy-jerrys-blog so kudos fam.

Also was anyone going to tell me that Beige Jacket Reporter from Hatchet Town was Boy Jerry or did I just have to figure that out for myself????? Who let this man join the workforce??

If Paul had like 1 ounce more conviction and consideration for his own desires I think he would get himself a dog now that he's an adult and has financial safety (definitely a rescue) and that thing would have the best most love-filled life ever I cry thinking about it. Someone take this man to a shelter and he will have a field day and maybe cry.

Actually he might not do it because he has trauma from seeing spot die but GOD JUST LET HIM BE HAPPY AND GIVE IT A GO IT'LL BE GOOD FOR YOU PAUL JUSt maybe buy a sturdy leash
