Talk about-Nikki about Caleb <3

Send “Talk about-” and a name for my muse to talk about that person! || @nezumivc103221

Hearing his name hits her like a freight train. The shifter's entire body goes numb. Heart falls into her feet at the memory of her best friend and adoptive brother. Dark blue eyes sting, and as much as she tries to fight them, she can't stop the tears from spilling down her cheeks.

"He should've been the one t' make it out." There's so much more for her to say, but words are caught behind the massive lump in her throat. So many qualities about him that she admired. All of which Nikki is sure would have grown and blossomed had he only the chance.

"Caleb would've turned out to be a much better person than I am."

[she-walked-away]

Do you have any theories to share with the class? I remember the Huntington's theory you had came true!

I have A LOT OF THOUGHTS and thankfully @thisbuildinghasfeelings indulges them and helps me map them out.

I think the biggest theory I have is Carlos has a new job- but I have like 2-3 theories on what it is and why. They've been hinting at a career change for him for like 3 seasons at this point. Do I think it will stick? idk

I think my main theory is that Carlos is working dispatch or something along the lines of that. I know it seems kind of random, but if Carlos isn't going to be police anymore- he will most likely still be in a first responding position because that's just how the 911 verse works. The thing that kind of helps me with this theory is that Rafa talked about it being something different than he has ever done before and I think anything Texas Ranger-y is too similar to what he's done before with police and the detective stuff.

Also the angst hoe in me wants Carlos to be on dispatch and hear TK get injured (as told he gets injured at the Chicago con) and be able to do nothing about it because he's not there. Also- more grace and carlos scenes PLEASE!

Second theory is that he's working undercover on Gabriel's murder case- which ALSO fits being different than anything Rafa's done before. We do know that figuring out what happened to him is supposed to be apart of the season, as told by a cameo from earlier this year and that Carlos has a five episode arc- which I'm assuming and i know you're not supposed to, is about that. My supporting theory about that is kind of what Jen's ( @strandnreyes) V-day fic was about. Like Carlos is living somewhere away from TK- but I'm kind of theorizing that they meet up every episode or 2 to check in with each other and have *steamy* scenes. Kind of fits with Brian talking about how relationships kind of turn on a head and imagine they act like they're apart through the first episode and we see them reunite at the end happily in love but carlos undercover!

This also culminates to Carlos either seeing or hearing about TK getting hurt and he cannot react. I want the ANGST. The evidence for this one other than just speculating is I have a theory that the party at the loft where they were all nice and fancy in the Cameo vid is a "welcome back" Carlos party and TK makes a spectacle of putting Carlos' wedding ring back on him because they're THAT cheesy in love. (the easy answer was that he wasn't wearing it yet before they film but i'm taking it a step further).

I think these are the main ones I have now just for carlos and tarlos, so I'll be curious if they pan out! Basically if they're making TK get injured again- they better indulge my angst whore ways and have Carlos be unable to do anything about it and see him internally or externally freak out because Rafa is so good at that and it's just *different* now that they're husbands.

[shippers-history]

hello. this is...shipper's history

pinned post or an attempt at one. this is the selfship blog of a 27 year old, white, tme mediple system (NO SYSCOURSE PLEASE it makes me uncomfortable and feel bad about myself) with ocd, autism, adhd, and plenty of other undiagnosed stuff that i'm sure i'll never get diagnosed with because i'm not viewed as a person tbh that likes self shipping with characters nobody cares about. now this is a COLLECTIVE self ship blog so our collective sona is pennigeorge:

| V

and xe is our sona for pretty much anything and everything selfship. so it exists in the king of fighters universe, garou: mark of the wolves universe, pokemon universe, fate universe, etc. basically all purpose oc for anything selfship.

we ship pennigeorge with (romantically):

-poison (she/her) (canon trans woman, headcanon unlabeled but likes mostly women and nonbinary people with the rare attraction to men here and there. also kinda gray aro. also headcanon fat :3)

-hugo andore (they/them xe/xir she/him) (headcanon maverique butch as a gender transfem, headcanon demisexual lesbian. also is romantically involved with poison.)

-lucia morgan (she/her) (canon cis woman, headcanon pansexual, headcanon NOT A COP IN THIS VERSE BTW, headcanon likes anyone as long as they give her food, also headcanon fat rushdown ala bob)

-seth (they/them) (canon nonbinary, headcanon greyromantic quoisexual. pennigeorge is teaching them how to heal :3)

-juri (she/her, it/its) (headcanon gender[REDACTED], canon bisexual. pennigeorge found it through dan hibiki and is getting used to her quirks and teaching it how to heal :3)

-dan hibiki (they/it/taunt) (headcanon genderfluid genderfree omnique (meaning gender always changes so they're always gay), headcanon quoisexual grey-panromantic. has Very Big Feelings for it's polycule (poison, guy, juri, blanka, seth, and pennigeorge) and won't hesitate to say it. also headcanon fat :3)

-leonardo da vinci/caster (she/her) (canon nonbinary (?) trans woman, canon bisexual. headcanon grey aro. flirted with her master, penni, during the holy grail war, until she started catching feelings for xem for real and ended up not wanting to leave it. can't admit she has feelings for penni, though)

-gaius julius caesar/red saber/saber caesar (he/him, they/them) (headcanon gender undefined and greygender, implied bisexual. originally summoned in the holy grail war by pennigeorge to summon a protector, caesar decides to give pennigeorge all of their protection that he can offer. however, their feelings start going beyond a "protector" figure, and struggles with guilt and shame over his growing desires for pennigeorge as their original wish was to reunite with cleopatra and caesarion.)

-gym leader lenora (she/her) (headcanon greygender, unlabeled polyamorous. pennigeorge is a lab assistant in her and hawes' pokemon lab and pennigeorge ends up falling in love with both, with lenora returning the favor. lenora often takes pennigeorge on archeology excavations to strengthen their confidence; she believes they have the potential to be a talented pokemon researcher, but mer confidence CLEARLY needs work.)

-charlotte lola (she/her they/them pi/pinks) (headcanon edgecute, pangender, demigirl, and demifemache, implied bisexual. pennigeorge met her while she was on a quest to find her "ideal marriage candidate", and lola, wowed by pennigeorge's large boobs but simultaneous gender ambiguity, immediately fell for xem. she soon realized pi was nonbinary, and pennigeorge taught pink Words for that. both gender and neopronoun words. which they readily embraced, and readily became as pangender as possible, with pinks main genders being edgecute, demigirl, and demifemache. eventually married pennigeorge along with gotti like in canon. just extra gay because pi married a nonbinary person.)

these are the main romantic ccs. qpp ccs may be elaborated on late when we feel less sleepy.

🎪 (Multi)Verses 🎪

v: Don’t Mess With Me! (Harlequin Carnival Years)

Aatos Lampo is the lead singer of a band called Harlequin Carnival who are slowly climbing the ladder to fame by performing gigs at local concerts, bars, pubs and any venue that will take them. Aatos dreams of one day becoming the next big rock star.

v: Everybody Wants To Be A Rock And Roll Star (Famous AU)

What if Aatos had got off the stage when he noticed the weather starting to change? What if he’d survived and had become a famous rock musician, playing sold-out gigs in stadiums around the world? This version of Aatos answers those questions. Taking on the stage name of The Poet, he is finally living his wildest dream.

v: Dreaming Wide Awake (Main)

No one really knows where the mysterious singer - known only as the Poet - came from, but his music has taken the world by storm. His songs seem to have a dreamlike quality to them, taking the listener away on unseen wings into their greatest imaginings. The Poet seems obsessed with sharing his power with the world, to allow them to see the way things he does and everything that makes his world wonderful. However, a keen eye might notice a similarity between the Poet and the infamous Aatos Lampo, who reportedly died after a tragic stage accident…is that just a theory, or is it possible he may have survived and now has an ability far beyond the comprehension of imagination alone? 

(More About The Poet's Abilities)

v: Set The World On Fire (Puppet Master)

The Poet has become obsessed with his own abilities to the point where he enjoys trapping people in a state of dreaming. Anyone who tries to escape his power will be brought to heel and anyone who stays will slowly start to waste away in the real world until death. 

(More About The Poet's Abilities)

v: I Want More (Just To Be Sure) (Personal Assistant)

After the accident, Aatos fell into a deep depression and faked news of his death to disappear into obscurity. However, a few months afterwards, he got a job as a Personal Assistant for a Fashion Industry. Trying to get his life back together, he has discarded music and singing for the time being in favour of simply trying to live.

v: They’re Locking Up The Sun (Discord)

Private Discord verse. Used mostly just to tag things!

v: How Wonderful Life Is While You're In The World (Happy Ending)

Aatos has reunited with Caesar and the two of them are happily married with two children (Esteri and Leo). He's semi-retired from music, too apprehensive to sing in the event that his voice ensnares anyone; but, above all, he is happy.

@bagelsandbugs sent in a symbol for Henry

Henry had heard that his father had almost died. He wasn’t quite sure what had happened. People didn’t tend to tell the kid every little detail, and he hadn’t had his memories for a little while anyway. Everyone had been through a lot while he’d only had memories of a life with his mom in New York. And it hurt to remember now that his life hadn’t been that. He had more friends and family now, sure, but they all had suffered so much.

He went to find his father, quietly sitting down beside him. “Hey. Mom says you’ve been through a lot. But uh, good news is I remember you again.” It was kind of bittersweet. Henry hadn’t really known his dad that well before escaping Pan’s curse with his mom anyway. They’d just started to build a relationship. At least they got the chance to start again, now that he had memories back …

“Do you think maybe we could do something today? Like the arcade. Have I showed you that? It’s still like you’re in the 80s, and that’s what makes it fun. Or the movies! You know they still play Star Wars in the theatre sometimes? The original?” Both activities were very safe. At least for a little while, Henry could keep his dad safe. He’d grown up without him, and then almost lost him. Henry didn’t want anyone to get hurt, and right now Neal seemed like the one he was most likely to lose.

SOFT(ISH) ANGST PROMPTS || STILL ACCEPTING! || @edgyearring​

edgyearring asked: “ please, tell me why you’re upset. tell me who did this? ” @ nanashi

[Nanashi scrunched his features as Naoya pressed him for information about his dismal mood; sure, he'd probably just been concerned, but Nanashi tended to close himself off even more when others attempted to console him, unhealthy as that was. It was unlikely that he'd vent about anything to Naoya in this state, regardless of any “bond” they had -- nothing against him, just personal issues from Nanashi's end, forged from years of self-reliance in a post-apocalyptic world ( though it certainly didn't help that he had a literal inner demon eating away at him, causing him to suddenly experience paranoia and distrust with every relationship he had ).]

[He crossed his arms, warily glancing at his friend, then redirecting his gaze to the ground. No, he couldn't really express or even explain his distress as of late. Nobody even knew about Dagda yet, did they? Maybe Nozomi, but that was because she had Dagda's own mother keeping her company -- and even then, he wouldn't really be comfortable discussing the way that the demon had simply...gripped his mind. He didn't even understand it himself. He felt like he was losing it, both mentally and physically -- the demon could manipulate his body whenever he wanted, usually in ways that would force him to bend to the demon's will. It was debilitating, having the knowledge that he could get his strings pulled at any moment, and that -- someday -- somebody might be killed because of it.]

❝ ...I'm fine. ❞ [A blatant lie, but it hopefully wouldn't matter in the end. He just had to power through, keep his distance -- prevent himself from getting "attached," at least as far as Dagda knew -- and then...and then what? What was Dagda even planning? All he could hope was that his friends would make it through safely, and that he would be the only one put in harm's way -- Dagda could revive him whenever he pleased, after all. No big deal, right?] ❝ Don't worry about me. Let's just get back to the mission. ❞ [With that final statement, he glanced back up at Naoya with a subtle desperation in his eyes -- the sort of pleading stare that begged him not to ask anything else.]

Dossier - Haru

FULL  NAME.     Haruka Katayama (  片山  春佳 )  / Haruka Amalio Katayama 

MEANING.   Beautiful Spring: the season of Earthbening and of new life and hope

NICKNAME.    Haru, Ruka, Ru, Harumaki (by his parents), Haru-chan (by his parents when he was younger) Maki (by his father)

GENDER.     male.

ETHNICITY.     earth  kingdom (specifically mixed Filipino and Japanese)

HEIGHT.     5′3″, 5′5″ later on

AGE.     16   ( verse dependent ).

ZODIAC.     Taurus  (persevering, honest, stubborn. element: earth. ruling planet: Venus)

SPOKEN  LANGUAGES.  multilingual . English, Tagalog, Japanese, a little bit of Spanish

Physical Characteristics!

HAIR  COLOR.    darker brunette with warm undertones

EYE  COLOR.      warm, umber brown

SKIN  TONE.     light brown, with a few freckles from being out in the sun

BODY  TYPE.     slim, with somewhat muscular arms from doing farm work

ACCENT.     a bit ‘rural’, akin to the Osakan accent. In modern verses he doesn’t appear to have a strong Japanese or Filipino accent when speaking English unless he’s around people he’s comfortable with; then you may notice ‘th’ sounds changing to ‘d’ sounds, and ‘v’ sounds changing to ‘b’ sounds.

VOICE.   a low tenor, on the softer side, steady and guarded around people he doesn’t know or trust, but otherwise is very sincere

DOMINANT  HAND.     ambidextrous

POSTURE.     cagey, a bit hunched and tense like he’s trying to blend into the background. It loosens up significantly when around people he’s comfortable with

SCARS.     a few random ones on his legs and knees from childhood playing, later, a hand shaped burn mark on his right bicep, and not a scar but; a birth mark on his right temple shaped a bit like a heart

TATTOOS.    none in main verse

SIBLINGS.    none

PARENTS.     Amalia de la Cruz (mother), Tyro Katayama (father)

PARENT  INVOLVEMENT.    raised initially by both parents, Haru was rather doted on as a child, seen as a gift due them being quite a bit older when he was born. Attached to both of them, he’d be taken to watch and eventually help with jobs on the farm and in their shop, and regularly practiced earthbending with his father. Haru was a rambunctious child, and they often let him run off with the few other children in the town, but as the control of the Fire Nation grew tighter, his parents became stricter, more blunt about the unraveling state of the world. His father was taken with the other earthbenders when he was 12, leaving his mother to continue to care for him on her own. The loss of the father he so admired hit him hard; the grief, along with the stress of the Fire Nation occupying their town, and his mother becoming stricter forbidding him from earthbending, put a strain on their relationship. After the town was liberated, their happy reunion was short-lived, quickly becoming tense with Haru and his father wanting to leave and keep fighting and his mother wanting them to stay. Ultimately, they did leave, reuniting again properly after the war.

OCCUPATION.     resistance fighter, post-war aid worker for neighboring towns

CURRENT RESIDENCE.     he does travel more post-war, but likes to stay home whenever he can

FINANCIAL  STATUS.    “lower middle-class”/ “working-class”

RELATIONSHIP  STATUS.     single

SEXUAL  ORIENTATION.     gay

ROMANTIC  ORIENTATION.    gay

LOVE  LANGUAGE.     acts of service and physical touch

RELATIONSHIP  TENDENCIES.   at first hesitant to acknowledge feelings of love, but once he does he’s quietly devoted, wanting to be near them often and do things for them to show he cares. he becomes much more touchy, gradually getting much more comfortable with asking for physical affection and giving it freely. He gravitates to those with similar ideals to him, who are compassionate, firm in their beliefs. Although he’d be embarrassed to admit it, he’s a romantic, and would enjoy taking his partner on dates and doting on them. However he does have a tendency to be avoidant when it comes to negative feelings, swallowing them down and often finding talking about them difficult. But he will make an effort to communicate better.

miscellaneous!

THEME  SONG.    Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance/ figher - Jack Stauber/ Seventeen Going Under - Sam Fender/ Ewan - APO Hiking Society 

HOBBIES  TO  PASS  TIME.  practicing earthbending, pottery, football (soccer),  cooking, drumming

[pekorosu]

just a lil “if ash lived” headcanon that i need to unload somewhere bc i've been holding it in for a long time

- set within the manga ‘verse

- takes place when ash and eiji are in their early 30s... so around the mid 1990s?

- i don’t get the weird animanga trope where older = longer hair, so they’re gonna look the same... maybe with slightly shorter hair bc they get regular haircuts now 

- (note: i've always interpreted long-haired eiji as symbolic of the fact that he couldn't move on from ash’s death)

- ash and eiji will continue living in the states, idk if still in NYC or somewhere else. they’ll move around a lot though.

- ash will mostly remain underground as he had to fake his death after lao’s stab, but he does it in a "hiding in plain sight" kind of way. only a handful of people know he’s still alive.  

- ash spends most of his time on the computer, mostly coding, hacking, being a nerd, among other fun stuff.

- he also takes on “jobs” anonymously, and occasionally from max (who’s still into investigative journalism) when he needs info that can only be obtained through Dubious Means.

- i also like to think that ash's a bit of a hacker robin hood lol. but he isn’t doing it purely out of the goodness of his heart, as part of it is a subconscious need to atone for his “sins” and cleanse the gnawing and persistent feeling of shame that gets amplified when he’s around eiji.

- also whatever he’s up to these days would ofc still be Highly Dangerous and Illegal, but it keeps him busy and would sate the part of him that’s still hungry for adrenaline without him having to engage in stuff like active bloodshed or substance abuse. basically that’s how i imagine he’d try to cope with life the only way he knows.

- eiji continues to do photography and other part time gigs bc he does not like the idea of mooching off ash forever, and he slowly makes a name for himself.

- ash and eiji live together but they are NOT together in a romantic sense... not yet >:)

- therefore eiji will probably date other people in the meantime, which gets a little troublesome bc it's not like he can bring them home to where his secret Very Important Friend is secretly hiding.

- ash will maybe have one-night stands every now and then. or not. idk. this isn’t a very important detail.

- anyway there will be lots of clueless but mutual pining :)

- ash especially, is of the opinion that they should start living separately bc someone will eventually track him down, maybe someone who has a past or present grudge on him. combined with his current activities, it’s only a matter of time before eiji would unwittingly get dragged into his problems again.

- eiji is v adamantly against that plan bc he's sorta developed a debilitating sense of paranoia that ash might just get killed somewhere while he’s not looking. not that ash isn’t paranoid either, but his insecurities often tip the scale over to “eiji is safer away from me” than “with me”.

- basically they’re doing their whole “stay. no, leave. no, stay” dance all over again, but like, dragged out over MANY YEARS.

- you thought eiji’s letter would’ve cleared up any crossed wires? 

- HELL NO

- like yea, there was probably a beautiful honeymoon period of about a year or two after they reunited, before their respective trauma and issues started creeping in and fucking things up again.

- esp on ash’s end, i think he’d engage in a lot of self-sabotage. and eiji is only human, he has his own limits and baggage too.

- there will be a government conspiracy plotline but on a smaller scale compared to canon that i am unfortunately not knowledgeable enough to worldbuild on, but it will probably have something to do with cybercrime/cyberterrorism/stuff like that bc it needs to tie in with ash's hacking shenanigans.

- i've heard that sing ends up becoming some sorta political big shot in yasha? idk, i haven't read it myself, but since china’s rising status was mentioned in GoL i imagine the plot should relate to that somehow.

- therefore sing would also get to be in this story! 

- i guess this means yut-lung would come into the picture at some point as well, and it would be a good opportunity for a redemption arc but i haven’t given it much of a thought bc i’m indifferent to his character orz SORRY.

- look i can’t do plot, but i am basically envisioning a political thriller with a side of slow burn romance (wait, you mean like a rehash of canon?)

- i’m thinking max is the one who kicks off the story by bringing something fishy to ash, and they just end up uncovering more and more and MORE stuff as they keep going.

- so for like 80% of the story, ash and eiji will be separated bc ash will be busy spying or infiltrating something... and being at the center of Plot Things, while max and eiji will be more on the outside dealing with the journalist side of things. i’m fond of max-ash interactions but i’m also REALLY CURIOUS about max-eiji’s dynamic :D

- meanwhile sing will be like, half in and half out i imagine. he's versatile like that lol

- ...i did NOT mean that in a dirty way

- anyway, this will provide ash and eiji ample space to work out their issues separately, as i think living in close quarters for so many years has actually been aggravating them. ofc those issues don’t get 100% resolved by the end, but some time apart from each other to cool off and spend with other people should provide a bit of perspective.

- i want ash to make some NEW FRIENDS (!!!) that are on the same wavelength as him bc there’s only so much that he can tell eiji and i’m sure he gets rather lonely, so there will be OCs that he will meet in the middle of Plot Things.

- ash will get trapped at some point. preferably with sing so they can have a much needed heart-to-heart talk. they’ll have a lot to hash out, ranging from the events in BF, shorter’s and lao’s death, all the way to ash’s love life. 

- btw i like the idea of eiji and sing being close drinking buddies who confide in one another but ash is kinda, justalittle, not very happy about that LOL 

- i mean, it's not like eiji can confide in ash when ash is the topic at hand, ya get me? as for sing, he’s similar to ash in the sense that they live dangerous lives, so i imagine he just finds it nice to be able to hang out with someone mundane like eiji every now and then.

- not to say that ash and sing aren’t talking to each other at all, but i think they’d have a bit of a rift between them. sing probably does feel some resentment, both at ash for killing lao AND at himself bc he knows deep down that given a choice, he would’ve saved ash over his own brother. ash can sense that tortured vibe, so eiji’s like their middle man. AND THAT’S WHY THEY NEED A HEART-TO-HEART TALK

- (SIDE NOTE: i want akira to have a role in this too. i actually have a separate headcanon that happens prior to this story... kinda like an alternate GoL? 

akira goes to the states to visit eiji, but ash is also there, yeah? akira and ash start out sorta prickly with each other bc ash is all weird and standoffish and always cooped up in his room. she probably mistook him as a jobless model mooching off eiji at first since 1) eiji and ibe have never spoken about him back in japan (cuz he’s supposed to be dead), 2) why would eiji be living with some random hot guy? unless they met during one of his photography gigs? right??? 

and then she ends up witnessing them in the middle of a tiff, which makes her not like ash even more bc HOW DARE HE YELL AT POOR OKUMURA-SAN??? UNGRATEFUL JERK!!!

but over the course of her visit, she snoops around learns a bit about their history and gathers hints as to why their r’ship is kinda strained. also ash and akira somehow end up bonding (reluctantly) over their emotional insecurities and part on a friendly rivalry to win over eiji’s affections (which eiji is completely oblivious to. also akira may have been 100% serious but ash was just jokingly playing along with her (OR WAS HE???)). anyway long story short, ash teaches akira some cool tech/IT stuff along the way so that leads to her gaining an interest in the field. 

she won’t be able to do much in this story, but a minor role would be cool :)

 ^ a lighthearted gyoza-making scene amid all the angst)

- (SIDE NOTE #2: i ALSO want cain to feature in this, but bc canon provided very little bg info on him it’s hard for me to figure out where he’d fit. but i suppose that’s precisely why it would be great to include him, since i can just make up my own backstory! lol. for now, i think he should be connected to one of the new OCs to make him more central to the plot. or heck, he can be involved himself! ...yeah, i’m just salty about how cain was treated more like a convenient plot device compared to the other major side characters. we barely know anything about him even though he was one of ash’s most trusted allies. #caindeservedbetter2k20)

- anyway, back to the main story. ash (and his new "friends") barely escape where they’re held hostage. ash would be rusty with combat now as he’s spent the past few years doing only stealth work and being rather sedentary. 

- so there’ll be lotsa old man!ash jokes like them poking fun at him whenever he complains about his back hehe

- when they finally emerge outside they find themselves in the middle of nowhere! they then hijack a passing pickup truck and do a roadtrip back to civilisation. ROAD TRIP FTW

- at this point, quite some time has already passed and ash even has a fuzzy beard and mane and all. he’s standing at the back of the truck with a small smile on his face and the wind blowing in his hair, thinking GONNA GO BACK AND SEE EIJI, MISS HIM LOADS, HELL YEA 

- (bonus: this song and this scene is the catalyst for this entire headcanon btw)

(drew this about a year ago. i was trying to imitate the manga’s art style... and the ash i had in my mind was a little different. i’m too lazy to redraw, but he’s fuzzier now okay! MORE FUZZ! like an actual freakin LION!)

- meanwhile, eiji and max will get into some deep shit around this point? 

- eiji in the pic above was me imagining that the Bad Guys had tossed some damning evidence (eg. severed body part?) on the ground like “ash’s dead/ash’s in a lot of danger now so hand over all the info u have”

- and eiji and max are like. SHOOKETH

- this would be the 3rd time ash has “died” after all, and as they say... 3rd time's the charm...

- eiji almost gives in, but then max spits in their face like fuck no and then... yeah. they get beat up and taken away or something lol

- EDIT: hmm... what if the Bad Guy is someone IN the government, and he uses his power to get eiji and max arrested for aiding and abetting a wanted fugitive (ash). and then ash has to rescue them... JAILBREAK STYLE

- also it might be cool to introduce ash's mom somewhere in this story... maybe SHE'S the villain! mwahaha *drama intensifies*

- anyways they will get saved by ash and gang bc that’s just the way things go, BUT! only on the condition they already made it out at least 80% of the way bc GODDAMN IT👏LET👏EIJI👏BE👏BADASS👏FOR👏ONCE👏 

- (that is, after he overcomes the initial shock of ash possibly being dead again... again...... again............)

- there will ofc be moments of “oh my god, you’re okay” "i thought i lost you...!"

- something like this, because one can never have enough cheesy reunion scenes

- this will eventually lead to REVELATIONS (of the romantic kind, yes) 

- buuuut they will never say "i love you" directly to each other bc ash is too emotionally constipated and eiji is too japanese. it's okay, they will communicate it through heated stares 👀

- i would love for there to be a scene where they have to be separated again for Plot Reasons and ash sorta hesitantly goes all "...will you wait for me?" as a direct parallel to canon!eiji's "i'll be waiting" and it’s like,

- FINALLY! 

- FINALLY!!!!!!!!!! ash has finally allowed himself to ask for this, to let himself want it! 

- and eiji would be like OF COURSE I WILL YOU BIG DUMMY, ALWAYS AND FOREVER

- but i think it'd be hilarious if eiji pops up while ash's in the middle of the final showdown and ash's like WTF I TOLD YOU TO WAIT FOR ME and eiji's like I WAS WORRIED OKAY YOU WERE TAKING SO LONG

- idk how this is supposed to end...

- oh wait! since the plot is government-related, maybe Someone will be able to pull strings to wipe out ash’s criminal record (past and present) and give him a brand new 100% legal identity, as thanks for his efforts? or maybe ash (or sing) just does it himself somewhere along the way LOL. anyway, he’ll be able to start over with a fresh clean slate and finally work on recovery FOR REAL NOW. yes this is a happy ending AND it didn’t require him to go to japan /flips off canon

- ...i realise it’s never going to be that simple but W H A T E V E R

- (also they probably will visit japan in the future with that shiny new passport... gotta meet the in-laws and all y’know)

- who do i gotta pay to write this cheesy self-indulgent fic for me

Timeline / Verses

Past Reincarnation. - Princess Marcella

I. The Half-Blind Princess While thought of as handicapped with one look at her black eye-patch, Princess Marcella is a force to be reckoned with. Her ambitious mind and sharp tongue is as intense as both her swordsmanship and her passionate romance the Prime Minister she is madly in love with (and he madly in love with her). But fate can be cruel and their love story is cut short with his death … will they ever be reunited again in another life?

Current Reincarnation & Neverland Doppelgänger. - Lady Margaret Hawke

I.  The Littlest Sailor During when little Maggie is mistaken for a ship’s boy “Magnus” and goes to sea.

II. The Loveliest Lady in London Margaret’s single years before her arranged betrothal to Lord Hawke

III. Lord & Lady Hawke The years married to Lord Hawke leading up to his early passing (or as all suspect fowl play).

IV. The Merry Widow The years as a widow Lady Hawke discovers her freedom.

V. The Future Countess of Highbury Lady Hawke is betrothed to the Count of Highbury, and before she has even walked down the aisle, she’s grown to loathe her to-be second husband. She needs an escape, however long or short. So on the pretense of visiting her brother she goes to sea aboard the dinghy The Tempest. Alone. And gets caught in a storm. And thinks it’s her end. Or is it?

VI. Neverland / The Castaway [Main Verse Prologue] Margaret and the wreck of the Tempest drift on currents to Neverland, and are discovered by Captain Hook (@totheplank) and the Jolly Roger. James personally sees to her recovery, and to her surprise for being a pirate, treats her hospitably. In spite of this, after expressing her gratitude, Lady Hawke makes multiple escape attempts as she tries to uncover who really is Captain James Hook?

VII.  Neverland / The Greatest of Adventures [Main Verse] Lady Hawke - like her bird namesake - must fly away. And one successful escape attempt later aboard her now repaired dinghy The Tempest, she navigates these peculiar waters and shores of Neverland (thankfully being in Captain Hook & Master Smee’s company long enough taught her enough tricks to navigate Neverland’s ever changing environment). She left a note for James with a hint of a promise for her future return, but now she can’t quite shake off why she can’t stop dreaming of his forget-me-not blue eyes.

VIII.  Neverland / The Bird of Prey [Main Verse] Like the hawk returning to the falconer’s trusted arm, Captain Hook & Lady Hawke’s paths cross once again. (One shout of his iconic ‘SMEE-EEEEE’ and he’s loud enough to instantly find and recognize anyway). Lady Hawke fully comes into her own as a Neverland pirate (why not live life dangerously?) seeking treasure and adventure and discovery… and the pearl of Captain Hook’s eye as their love story unfolds. No longer will either of them be alone & unloved.

VIX.  Neverland / Peter Pan & The Darling Children The events of the Peter Pan story/movie/etc.

Future Reincarnation. - Mrs. Mary Astor-Darling

I. The Loveliest Lady in Bloomsburg Mary Darling. Wife of George Darling. Mother of Wendy, John, and Michael. There never was a happier, simpler family.

V: Prince of Earth (Silver Millennium)

During the Silver Millennium, Earth was under the rule of a single king and queen, and their only son and heir was Prince Endymion. Trained extensively in the politics of the time, he still found himself smitten with the Moon’s princess, Serenity, despite tensions between the kingdoms. Maybe he knew better, but the heart was a powerful thing and he couldn’t resist following it to her.

When war broke out at Beryl’s prodding, he rushed to his beloved’s side, only to die in his efforts to save her.

V: Tuxedo Mask (main canon era)

Reborn on Earth as Mamoru Chiba, the former Prince’s life was anything but easy. He lost both of his parents in a car accident when he was very young and lost most of his memories of those early years. Oddly, he began to regain parts of his memories of life as Endymion, leading to him seeking out the Silver Crystal and Princess Serenity in hopes of getting his memories restored.

Working alongside the Senshi as Tuxedo Mask was originally an arrangement of convenience until the fateful day he gave his life for Sailor Moon and was awakened by the power of the Silver Crystal. Reunited with the reincarnation of his past lover, he would spend the next several years fighting by her side and doing his best to protect her as both Tuxedo Mask and Endymion.

V: King of the World (post-canon and Crystal Tokyo)

After the dust has settled with the final fights and they’ve both finished school, Mamoru returns to Tokyo to marry his love. He works as a doctor up until the beginning of Crystal Tokyo, at which point he takes his place as King Endymion.

[nomadpunkv]

Some note on canon divergence on this blog, I’m gonna go into some in depth stuff regarding the ending of the game as well so PLEASE! If you have not finished the game yet DO NOT READ; spoilers are head ( this post will also be tagged with the spoiler tag) !

CANON DIVERGENCE MASTERLIST ON THIS BLOG

1. Vance does not have the relic by default. In his primary main verse tagged as “ᵐᵃʸᵇᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ᶜᵃⁿ ˢʰᵒʷ ᵐᵉ ʰᵒʷ ᵗᵒ ˡᵒᵛᵉ; ⁱ'ᵐ ᵍᵒⁱⁿᵍ ᵗʰʳᵒᵘᵍʰ ʷⁱᵗʰᵈʳᵃʷᵃˡˢ* ( main I )” he comes to Night City to find his twin sister, Vera, written on @streetpunkv​ is the one who meets Jackie first, goes on the heist job and ends up with the relic & Johnny Silverhand in her head. The reason Vance can SEE and HEAR and FEEL the effects of the Relic as well as Johnny Silverhand is because he and Vera are NEURALLY LINKED via a cyberware tattoo that the two of them got when Vance first reunited with her so they’d ALWAYS be together. So while by default Vance doesn’t have the relic in his head, he can FEEL it & see & hear Johnny.

2. I DO have a verse where Vance has the relic tagged “ˡᵒᵒᵏ ʷʰᵃᵗ ʸᵒᵘ'ᵛᵉ ᵈᵒⁿᵉ;ⁱ 'ᵐ ᵃ ᵐᵒᵗʰᵉʳᶠᵘᶜᵏⁱⁿ' ˢᵗᵃʳᵇᵒʸ* ( main II )” where he ends up with the Relic and it essentially swaps Vera & his place in the story and sees him being the one suffering the effects of Johnny and the relic with Vera being the one watching & feeling without actually suffering.

3. Vance is TECHNICALLY a “nomad” lifepath V, but he and his twin sister grew up in a gang out in the badlands until Vera was roughly 13 and she decided to leave to go to Night City. Vance stayed with the clan until he was 26 and decided to leave to find Vera again after he got tired of Nomad Life and being apart from his sister. This follows the baseline Nomad opening for the game, with Vance rolling into the town outside the Border of Night City in his Galena Rattler, getting comms up and running and then running his job for Jackie. However the tweak to this is during the time they’re together, Vance actually tells Jackie he’s looking for his sister, Vera. He hasn’t seen her in 13 years but he knew she set out for Night City. Jackie, having known Vera ( now going by V at this point ), discreetly calls her during their drive into the City, and this leads to Vance & Vera reuniting for the first time in 13 years. From there the 1.5 year time skip is Vance-centric in that he sticks with Jackie & V and their friends to set up roots in Night City

4. Vera is CANON across all Vance’s timelines as he’s the ENTIRE reason he’s in Night City to begin with, so she’ll come up in threads often even if it’s with OTHER Vs, but it should be assumed that she’s in existence if VANCE is in existence.

5. Vance does NOT go by “V”. He never has, and he never will. If referred to as such he’ll correct the other person.

6. Vance cares deeply about Jackie and the entire Welles family, however he chose to take VECTOR as his last name as he didn’t really have a father figure growing up and while he admires Mama Welles, Vance was closer with Viktor than anyone else and began viewing him as a father figure to the point where he eventually ( albeit quietly ), starting telling people his name is ‘Vance Vector’ and he affectionately ( and jokingly ) refers to Viktor as “the ‘ol man”.

From here on out now we’re getting into spoiler territory with the ENDINGS:

7. In Verses where Vance HAS the Relic: He does storm Arasaka with the Aldecaldos after helping Panam and their clan with as much as he does. He isn’t named an OFFICIAL Aldecaldo, but he’s an honorary member and he actually pulls a bunch of strings to help get them out of Night City once they’re ready to leave. He regularly messages Panam to see how things are going with the Aldecaldos and makes sure they know if they ever roll around town again that they’ve got a friend in the City.  Per Rogue’s Request: Vance KILLS Adam Smasher, and as a reward for doing so, takes over the Afterlife for Rogue becoming a fixer in her place so she can retire and live out a somewhat normal life now that Adam is gone, but he remains in very close contact with his sister.

8. In Verses where Vance DOES NOT have the Relic: Vance helps siege Arasaka alongside his sister and again per Rogue’s request decides to kill Adam Smasher with Vera’s help. When all is said and done and Vera returns back from splitting with Johnny’s persona and what Vance does from there is DETERMINANT upon what Vera does. 

IF VERA LEAVES NIGHT CITY: Vance doesn’t give it a second thought and absolutely goes with her regardless of what anyone tries to say, he is dedicated to staying with her and while he’ll miss people and even offer to have them tag along for the ride, he ultimately doesn’t try to force anyone to come with them on their next adventure.

IF VERA STAYS IN NIGHT CITY: As aforementioned in Vance’s relic verse, he takes over the Afterlife from Rogue ( or Vera takes over from Rogue ), after she retires and they stay TOGETHER in Night City continuing to live out their lives as they try to undermine corpos and make as many eddies as possible to become Night City Legends.

9. Vance as the Owner of Afterlife: Also another real important thing to note is Vance as the owner of Afterlife actually works WITH other Fixers from time to time. Not always of course, but from time to time he does. He also doesn’t entirely give up being a merc. Everyone in the Afterlife makes it a point to be secretive about who is in charge at the Afterlife after that and Vance is very careful to craft a narrative that makes leadership of the Afterlife elusive and mysterious to A) prevent a target from being put on his back B) make it so he doesn’t have to be completely taken out of the action with being as young as he is.

Exploring the Representation of Death in Children’s Literature and Picture Books.

Illustration from Michael Rosen’s Sad Book, 2011 Illustration by Quentin Blake.

Death  in “unavoidable” (Poling, Deveraux 2008) for all living things. 

When typing in ‘Death Children’s Books’ into amazon, over 400,000 search results arise.

Several children’s picture books that focus these three main death concepts  “(a) irreversibility, (b) unavoidable and (c) nonfunctionally...” (Poling, Deverauz A:Hupp, 2008) :

Death: I Miss You (A First Look At) by Pat Thomas and Lesley Harker (2009) 

Badgers Parting Gifts by Susan Varley (1987)

We Had To Say Goodbye Before We Even Met, by Irene Teague and Gainne Knox (2020)

Michael Rosen’s Sad Book, by Michael Rosen and Quentin Blake (2011)

Illustration from Badgers Parting Gifts by Susan Varley (1987)

While researching into the presentation of death within children’s literature, I have found several articles I would like to explore further within my research. 

Death Sentences: A Content Analysis of Children’s Death Literature. Poling, Deveraux A;Hupp, Julie M; National Library of Medicine. 2008.

 “…The components of children's death concepts include beliefs that (a) dead things cannot become alive again (irreversibility), (b) death is ultimately unavoidable for all living things (inevitability or universality), and (c) all bodily functions cease after death (nonfunctionality)

  “…children must also work out the subtleties and full implications of what death really means. Such subtleties extend beyond biological facts to include cultural beliefs and practices and emotional processes of grieving.”

“…younger readers invite a social construction of knowledge as parents and children engage in mutual interaction with the material (Fletcher & Reese, 2005), whereas storybooks targeted to older children may be read in the absence of collaborative communication with an adult.”

 “The majority of the books we evaluated were fiction (85%) and dealt with human death (65%).” ~ Interesting that over 50% of books evaluated for this study were regarding “human death”. Perhaps there is an interesting juxtaposition between the way human death and animal death is presented in children’s literature.

Global Perspectives on Death in Children’s Literature ed. By Lesley D. Clement and Leyli Jamali (review), 2019

 “and by perceiving "death as a permanent state," which denies the deceased the ability "to reunite annually with the living"…” – Discussing about how certain literature topics discuss text using cultural ideas about death, including” suggesting that the Day of the Dead is "a variation" of Halloween”.

  “"western constructions of death, children, and childhood have infiltrated many corners of the globe" (Flying Kites and Other Life-Death Matters, Clement)

“ by perceiving "death as a permanent state," which denies the deceased the ability "to reunite annually with the living"…)

 “The Last Resort: Death and Liminality in Children's Picture Books on Emily Dickinson," Clement considers how paratexts, liminal spaces and text-image interactions act as invitations for children to read representations of death in picture books on Emily Dickinson.”

“Global Perspectives on Death in Children's Literature concerns itself with depictions of death within the context of games and play.”

Rosana Kohl Bines looks at Brazilian folk rhymes—specifically, the content, form, and the dynamics of the playground game Tangolomango—to discuss how this "never-ending cycle of verses" brings to fore the resilience of childhood and illuminates the interrelationship between life and death.”

Death themes in literature for children ages 3-8 By Seibert, D; Drolet, J.C (1993)

“death themes are presented in a positive, realistic way that promote healthy development. Because of its positive presentations, children's literature is recommended as a leaching tool for death education.”

Summer’s End and Sad Goodbyes: Children’s Picturesbooks About Death and Dying.  By Wiseman, Angela (2012) 

“Unfortunately, people of all ages experience death; however, it can be particularly difficult for young children...”

“ How can picturebooks, particularly written for young children, support children’s grief when someone dies? How do the illustrations and text of picture books express and convey the aesthetic and emotional experience of loss.”

Children’s grief reactions, the way that they respond to their loss, are dependent on the child’s sociocultural context and individual development. As a result, children demonstrate multidimensional ways of perceiving and reacting to the experience (Slaughter and Griffiths, 2007; Willis, 2002). 

The Harvard Child Bereavement Study (Worden and Silverman, 1996)….documented children’s responses to loss into adulthood, reported two significant findings related to children’s responses to death. First, many children often immerse themselves in everyday activities as a response to their overwhelming feelings about grief ….the reality is that they may need more emotional space to process their feelings and therefore mourn for longer periods of time (Koehler, 2010). Second, the study revealed …children have delayed reactions to their loss that spans their lifetime. For some children, their sadness is intensified years after the death … they think about the role that the person could have played at various times in their lives (Howarth, 2011)

[gta5-watchdogswriter]

Soooo, I did mention this before and I might as well give more on her. 

Let me introduce y’all to my Watch Dogs OC, Eden Bane. Well, she is more of a multi-verse OC, which means she can adapt to any universe I put her in. Correction: She is more so that in terms of rping. Her main and default verse is Watch Dogs, which has a lot of information more than any other universes I put her in. Besides my book’s universe that is. 

Anyways, I had her for almost six months now. I knew Watch Dogs before that, but never joined the fandom until Late May - early June. June 9th is the official date that I introduced Eden to the world. I was in process of making her a day or two before then though. I had no intentions of naming her Eden. In fact, I was struck on choosing a name and made my roommate choose the name for her, which she chose Eden. 

It’s funny cause of how similar her name spells like and pronounce as to Aiden. When I realized that info, I start making jokes about how some of the Watch Dogs characters can mistaken their names if they weren’t careful enough, making both get confused on who is being referred to or called to. Some of my friends begun to start shipping them too, which makes it even funnier when it comes to their ship name. Even one of my friends couldn’t come up with a ship name because of how similar their names is. Their ship name would basically be their own names. 

Moving on, Eden is a woman in her late thirties. The exact age is unknown. She is described to be a cheerful, energetic, and chaotic woman, who - if y’all haven’t known yet - has a thing for creating chaos. It’s why there’s mostly two types of relationships she has. Either people are annoyed by her presence and wants her out of their lives, which is difficult to do, or they join her on her chaotic spree. The reason why I say it’s difficult for her to get rid of because once she is in your life, she is there for a long time, no matter what type of relationship she has with you. She always seem to find her way into your life, regardless of what you do. 

Her chaotic nature is the reason why she has another identity called Cha0tic. Selective few know the connections between the two. Otherwise, everyone is clueless of who Cha0tic really is. So many stories and rumors came up because of that. Eden even made sure there is little to nothing that would connect the two as one person. She even made sure her mannerisms, body language, speech pattern, appearance, e v e r y t h i n g, is different as Cha0tic. When she was younger,  she had a different name. It was a little before she had to rescue her sister that she changed her name to Cha0tic and kept it since then. 

During the events of the first Watch Dogs, Eden kept a low profile. She kept off the radar for a little while to help her sister out. Annie - the name of her sister - been through a lot. So, Eden wanted to avoid causing too much trouble. Unfortunately, one of the jobs she had to do resulted in her having to kill off some members of the Chicago Southclub. For a little bit, Lucky Quinn was confused on who was behind it. It wasn’t until Brad, a shitty ex boyfriend of Eden’s, came in and pointed fingers. How he knew is unknown. Eden  and her best friend had to deal with Lucky Quinn and later Iraq. Shortly before Iraq was dealt with, he ended up killing Eden’s best friend. After he was dealt with and solving the problems with Lucky Quinn, Eden left Chicago and disappeared for a little while. Whatever happened during those years is unknown exactly. 

She was later found in San Francisco. During that time, she remained to work alone before joining Dedsec. It’s quite surprising to see such things cause she normally worked alone. But since joining and getting closer to the members, she ended up helping out a lot with Dedsec. Even can be seen helping in Legion.  I like to mention that Eden was in Chicago when she was a teenager. Up until she was able to move out on her own and left Chicago to live on her own. Since thirteen years old (or rather a little before), she had been into the hacking business. She only went into it because of her sister, Annie. Their father was a shitty person, which is why Annie ran away from home. Eden wanted to make sure her sister was okay. 

At one point, she did get separated from her twin sister for like ten years before they were reunited again. While Willow did hacking on the side, Eden had it for a full time thing. 

There’s a whole bunch of other information to drop, but like I said, it’s a lot. I don’t want y’all to read a long ass post. I do like to mention that Eden has Russian and Indian in her. Out of all of her siblings, excluding Willow, Eden looks more like her father. She looks like she is adopted because of her olive skin. Don’t think she is scrawny either. She is pretty built. She hides her body under her baggy clothes.
