#I like to imagine this is the kind of stuff that Viktor would throw to Jayce's face

Alright I'm gonna ruffle some feathers I think but idk I gotta say something.
Tumblr media
For this moment and this moment only I'm going to set aside the rabid Viktor fan that I am and speak as a slightly less rabid Vi fan. She's a very close second and I relate to her the most out of the cast. Love her. So on and so forth. At this point the marketing is frustrating me less as a Viktor fan and more as a Vi fan.
When the Annecy people talked about a goth Vi fighting in the pits piss-drunk mad seeing crazy things I was ECSTATIC. Like holy shit that's such a major turn in her personality! Really fills out that whole "what does Vi do when she has no one left to protect" thing! Wow! Not to mention she's gonna be hot but that's a given. What a shocking thing to see when November comes around aaaand there she is in the trailer okay. Along with what is presumably her act 3 timeskip design judging by the longer hair. Element of surprise gone. Cool.
So where the Viktor part of me gets to waste hours yapping about where he's gonna be in season 2, what his arc will be, what he's gonna look like, what's gonna cause divorce era... feel like we're running out of room for speculation for the main 3. Room for imagination, if you will.
Like WE'VE BEEN KNEW ABOUT PIT FIGHTER VI. This isn't a surprise sneak peek anymore, everyone's either seen her in the trailer or at least heard about the Annecy stuff. Personally I no longer have the same level of insane jittery excitement to see how that arc goes in s2 anymore. Her new design is no longer a surprise and they're going to show even more tomorrow lol. I have little room to ponder "huh wonder what VI's gonna be up to." Pit fighter arc gets started and instead of my jaw dropping going "oh my god Vi honey you really are broken aren't you noooo" it's just... yeah that thing I saw during a Netflix event. Damn. Looks cool still but it's not a shock.
This massive point in both the plot and Vi's arc has become a marketing hype machine. Which dampens, you know, the whole "telling a story" thing.
What do I have to speculate about? Cait's whole iron-fist arc is fairly obvious via marketing, Vi's three-act structure has been pretty clearly laid out, they even spoiled Noxus/Ambessa turning on Piltover. Yeah, think we saw it coming, sure, but I kind of like being able to speculate on stories I enjoy. At least Jinx's revolutionary thing is pretty up in the air (which I still believe is a misdirect but I digress).
Please don't get me wrong, I really like her design and I'm still very excited to see where it goes! Obviously there's still plenty of details in between to fill out and yes I'm being slightly dramatic and yes my salt towards yet again no Viktor may be contributing to this frustration and YES pit fighter Vi is sick and the clip will be cool as fuck no matter what. But I'm honestly a little surprised everyone's so thrilled about this. I'm (likely) not watching it solely to preserve at least some element of surprise because I'm so excited for Vi next season and it sucks that they're just giving this all out in marketing.
Assuming this is the Annecy clip, that's just kinda lazy to reuse btw. But whatever this is lengthy and poorly worded enough.
Anyway bringing back the Viktor fan that I am yes I'm bitter yes I miss him yes I will not stop insisting that throwing in a few voice lines is not only perfectly reasonable as a teaser but would be more effective marketing wise than burning out the Cait/Vi/Jinx stuff bc deadass what else can they show us at this point okay thank you goodnight

Sorry in advance for the word dump. I have too many thoughts and no energy to sort them or try to be eloquent about it tonight. Pfft!
I love to imagine crossovers between TUA and Misfits and lemme tell you that I would ship the heck outta Luther/Kelly. Gorilla jokes at their expense aside, they would be so cute. She would be so good to him and vice versa, because Kelly wants someone genuine and Luther is the least performative of all the siblings and, even though he makes some very poor decisions, he is, generally, well-meaning and doing his best. Kelly’d also square up to Nathan or Diego if she thought they were being too rough with Luther. Heck, she’d throw hands with Reginald Hargreeves, zero hesitation lol
I also kind of like the idea of Alisha or Nathan and Diego. Romantically? Platonically? Both??? Who knows. But the dynamic they could have would be entertaining regardless.
Alisha’d 100% flirt with Diego though, that’s undeniable. I could probably ship them, but I’m unsure if it’d be shallow and brief, or if they’d be good for each other. That’s always a toss-up with Alisha, who I think struggles a lot more with self-esteem than she lets on. But I mostly just love squishing the more stoic, quiet characters with the extroverted party animals who rarely take anything seriously, and these two would be an interesting if short-lived combination.
Nathan would drive Diego crazy half the time no matter what, but Nathan’s just enough of a pitiable disaster who is, for the most part, delightfully oblivious to that disastrousness, that I think Diego’d deal with him just to help him out. And then they could bond by badmouthing their dads and talking about how much they love their moms. Win/win. Definitely one of their favorite shared pastimes.
All three of them try so hard to pretend they don’t have issues when they clearly do, and I can totally see either duo being chaotic while still being good at bringing softness and an itty bitty bit of vulnerability out of the other. Diego has pretty good EQ despite being emotionally constipated, and Alisha and Nathan can have decent EQ but they reserve that emotional energy primarily for people they’ve decided are safe to care about. Their differences would end up balancing them out, I think.
But honestly any combination of characters would be so fun.
Klaus and Alisha? Gossip, gossip, gossip. I think Klaus might think Alisha’s a bit mean, but his superpower may as well be getting along with anyone, so they’d be fine, and Alisha would warm up to him. The insane stories they could tell each other! I can hear Klaus’ cackling and mock scandalized gasps already. Klaus and Nathan? Chaos and shenanigans 24/7 and surprisingly insightful heart-to-hearts because their brains tickle along the same planes and wavelenths. Klaus and Simon? Similar to Klaus and Viktor. I can kinda see Klaus being a little protective of Simon in a big bro/little bro way, even if he thinks Simon’s a bit creepy. I could also see Simon coming to Klaus occasionally for advice if only because he’s so easily approachable and non-judgemental.
Obviously Viktor and Simon have a lot in common, being the quiet outcasts. Simon might not enjoy Viktor’s tendency to have a victim complex, but I think they could relate and they’d both be fantastic listeners. And omggg, Simon and Diego sparring together! Doing vigilante stuff together! Even Simon and Five being best bros would be really good; they’re both very much the characters who shoulder the most responsibility in protecting their friends/family, often alone, and they’re both the most pragmatic of their circle. However the thought of Simon and Luther in the same room would both be sweet and create a shockwave of social awkwardness that could be felt within a 10 mile radius.
I could almost ship Kelly and Diego, too, actually, now that I think about it, but I dunno if they’d click like that. There’d be a lot of respect for each other, yeah, but Diego tends to gravitate toward people he feels need help and Kelly has issues, but she’s not really the sort of person who needs anyone, emotionally or otherwise. She’s fiercely self-sufficient and doesn’t like feeling like she isn’t. I guess her and Diego are a lot alike in that way, maybe too much for it to work out as anything but platonic.
I think Ben would probably get along with most anyone except maybe Alisha and Nathan. He just wouldn’t have anything in common with Alisha, and we all know Nathan can and will make fun of someone any chance he gets. Ben might not be as sensitive as Luther, but I think his feelings could very easily be hurt by Nathan at worst. At best he’d find him grating. Nathan’s too performative and takes too much delight in bullying people, and I don’t think Ben would want to expend the energy on him if he didn’t have to.
Luther also would get along with... most of them. Except for Nathan. Nathan would make him cry without even trying. Sorry, Luther. But that’s why Lu needs Kelly. LOL
Struggling to figure out Curtis, though. Curtis is the gang’s moral compass, no doubt, but he’s also a bit of a snob and while he cares for all his friends, I think they’re really just friends out of circumstance, besides Alisha. He’d probably like Viktor but not care to get to know him. Klaus is fine, Ben’s fine, Luther’s fine, Five... Curtis would probably respect him but not really like him. They’d really have nothing in common beyond time travel and Curtis would find him too bossy and sharp to be pleasant.
Maybe Curtis would have a better chance at being friends with Allison and Diego. Diego really only for the shared athletic interest, and Allison because Curtis has always felt like the gang, sans Alisha, is a bit beneath him. Allison is more outwardly put together and “normal” than the other Hargreeves, too, never mind the fact that she has the fame Curtis wishes he had.
Allison would probably get along with all of them well enough, even Nathan, though I don’t think she’d really like him. She’s very much the big sister friend and I don’t think that’d change with the Misfits gang.
I doubt Five would care much about befriending any of them, though I could see Nathan squirming his way into his affections and Five being very annoyed with himself for it. He’d probably have the best shot at connecting with Simon, though, for the reasons I already listed. They bear a lot of responsibility and concern themselves a lot with the greater good specifically for the people they love (where in contrast, Diego worries about the people he loves and everyone else... but I digress, that’s a topic for another post entirely lol).

Could you write arcane char reaction to a reader visibly shorter than them? I am 147 cm tall so you guest what I mean, right?
a/n: i fucking love the height trope, next to enemies to lovers (also i looked up their heights on the internet so if its wrong, ignore it)
warnings: cursing if you consider that needing a warning
characters: jinx, vi, caitlyn, jayce, viktor, silco, vander
Jinx
🕷 Jinx is only 5'3 (160 cm) so she isn't that much taller than you but that doesn't mean she won't actively point out how short you are
🕷 I think she just likes being taller than someone
🕷 "don't worry y/n, i'll get that for you since you're so short"
🕷 If you point out she's only a couple inches taller than you, she'll grab whatever thing you need or are using and will parkour to the highest place in her lair and place it there
🕷 "well go on, go get it since i'm only a few inches taller than you"
🕷 She has a shit-eating grin on her face because she knows you can't reach it
Vi
🕷 She's pretty tall for a girl standing around 5'9 (175 cm) and finds your height quite adorable
🕷 Vi likes to pick you up to help you grab stuff instead of just grabbing it for you
🕷 Before you two started dating she definitely did the 'let's compare hand sizes' bullshit
🕷 Calls you nicknames like Shortstack, Mouse, Funsize or if you're being annoying she will call you Anklebiter
🕷 She doesn't like if someone else makes fun of you for your height and will probably roast them in some way
🕷 She only gets the privilege of making fun of your height
Caitlyn
🕷 Just found out Caitlyn is 6 feet tall (182 cm)
🕷 She'd find your height cute but wouldn't make fun of you for it
🕷 She knows that jokes like that get old pretty fast
🕷 Likes getting stuff for you and if you're ever helping her on a case and you can't see, she'll hoist you up on her shoulders so you can get a better view
🕷 Just imagine every funny, crime movie scene with the short person who has to look through the window
🕷 If she ever lost you in a crowd, she would absolutely panic
Jayce
🕷 I think the scariest thing about Jayce is that he is 6'7 (200.66 cm) and I think about it on a daily basis
🕷 Definitely says shit like 'how's the weather down there?'
🕷 His apartment would have high ceilings which also means high shelves
🕷 Jayce finds it funny when he sees you struggling to get something that's too high
🕷 He would get you a stepping stool for your birthday
🕷 Although he can be kind of an asshole when it comes to your height, he will massage your neck if it starts to hurt while you two are talking
🕷 Probably just throws you over his shoulder whenever he needs you for something
Viktor
🕷 The most considerate next to Caitlyn when it comes to your height
🕷 Would make sure everything you need is always somewhere you can reach
🕷 I feel like Viktor wouldn't care much about your height, he just sees as a 'it is what it is' type scenario
🕷 Don't get mad at him though when he falls asleep due to exhaustion and uses your head as some kind of pillow
🕷 He lowkey looks a little uncomfortable because he's 5'10 (177 cm) so his neck is always bent at some weird angle but please just let him sleep
🕷 If you look up at him and give him doe eyes or puppy eyes he will become putty in your hands, I don't make the rules
🕷 Viktor would probably invent something for you that would help you get things from high shelves when it isn't accessible to you, for example if you're in public
Silco
🕷 Silco stands at 5'9 (175 cm) but he always wears shoes with a heal so he looks more like 5'10
🕷 If you're ever angry at him, he finds it cute
🕷 I'm sorry but he does not find you intimidating one bit
🕷 Kind of finds your height useful because you can squeeze into smaller spaces unlike the others
🕷 Your height also makes you seem unassuming so it's also useful in that affect
🕷 The noticeable height difference gives a small confidence boost
Vander
🕷 The height difference between you two is very noticeable because he's 6'5 (195 cm)
🕷 He calls you his Half-pint because a lot of the time you'll work at the bar with him
🕷 Eventually all the regulars start calling you Half-pint
🕷 Vander probably won't express it much but he likes your height, especially if you two are cuddling or hugging
🕷 Would absentmindedly use you as an arm rest or hand rest but if you gave him a look he would instantly apologize and take his hand/arm off

I'm genuinely curious about something. How do you think Viktor would handle his partner when they're extremely angry?? I've been trying to think on it but I'm stumped.
Hot damn that- Ok, that is a great question. We got some variables at play here. Like if Viktor is the reason for that anger, or just a witness to it, and then also how that anger expresses itself.
Top of mind, Vik is rational, usually.  We see him crack at some points in canon where he’s tired and frustrated and just done. But he’s got a good heart and a compass that’s a little spinning but still trying to point north.
If it’s anger at something not his fault I’d say he’s a bit surprised but coping.  Trying to offer solutions immediately, perhaps before he even understands the full extent of the problem or before he realizes that what his partner might need is just for him to listen.  Like he starts out in silent shock and segues instantly into damage control mode.  
If its anger at something he’s done again... I just have to think his usual first reaction in bald-faced surprise, though this time I have to imagine he goes a bit on the defensive after that.  If he knows he was in the wrong then there’s probably a mildly defensive fight before he yields; trying to explain himself before admitting he was in the wrong.  If he is convinced he’s in the right... oh man are you guys in for a Fight.  
Now... If your anger is loud and physical?  Throwing things and breaking stuff and shouting?  I don’t think you’re going to find yourself in a relationship with Viktor for very long if you can’t control the baser aspects of your temper.  A bit of raised voices is fine, some heat is fine.  But borderline abusive inability to control your emotions?  Nah.  Not his speed.
If your anger is icy chill?  The kind of silent, simmering bitter chill that could give him frostbite with one look?  Ohoho.  That’s going to eat him alive.  He will do anything to get to the bottom of things, to break through that barrier and get you talking.
Either way?  I think Vik can hold his own in an argument AND that he would be willing to do anything to help his partner if there was something upsetting them. 
We get to see him mad himself a few times and I think that informs how he might treat others in the same situation.  Most notably on the bridge with Jayce after the blockade.  Jayce comes over and lays into Viktor in a typically Jayce sort of way that is not especially heated but obviously angry.  Viktor is stunned initially and then lividly furious in a quiet way because he knows he’s not in the wrong here and Jayce has no right to be mad at him or insult the place he came from.  He rips Jayce a new one with little less than one quiet sentence and then slaps away his attempt at conciliatory excuses and help.  Jayce is the person Viktor has the highest amount of regard and affiliation for that we know of, so he translates into a fairly good litmus test for Vik’s reactions with a romantic partner.

(Another TUA post, non TUA mutuals im so sorry but I’m just obsessed 😭)
TUA fandom, how do you think the brellies lives look in the sparrow timeline? Here’s mine lol:
1. Luther: I think Luther’s life is relatively peaceful tbh, and I think that if Luther would meet his other self it would genuinely kind of hurt cause he just sees this big Swedish boy happily living his life and Luther just knows he could’ve had that.
2. Diego: I’m not super sure tbh. His hero complex definitely sprouted from Reggie’s abuse (maybe he always had a strong sense of justice, nature vs nurture idk), but I don’t think he’d be a vigilante or something a long the lines of that. I’m not even sure he’d know about his powers in the first place cause like? What normal kid is just gonna discover he can change the trajectory of projectiles? Maybe during a dodgeball match as a kid he just throws a perfect curveball and he’s just like “oh that’s pretty cool”
3. Allison, again not so sure. Especially since I’ve always wondered (this is a stupid question but who cares) do Alison’s powers work in different languages too? Do the people she’s using it on need to be able to understand what she’s saying? So many mysteries lol. But back to the point, I’m not sure if Allison would know about her powers either. Mostly due to the fact that “I heard a rumour” is kind of a random phrase that doesn’t get used a lot? Similar to Diego imagine if she’s just gossiping with her friends and out of nowhere they just get mind controlled. But maybe when Allison discovers her powers she becomes famous again, although I doubt it.
4. Klaus: ok so klaus obviously knows about his powers since their pretty much unignorable, but Im wondering how that would affect his home life and just life in general. Would he learned to adapt or does he do drugs/drink again?
5. Five is by far gonna be the most different. Honestly I’m kind of hoping that Irish Five is gonna be really silly and goofy. One thing that’s interesting though is that from what we know, Fives teleporting ability takes a lot of calculation and skill in general. I’m pretty sure he stated it himself, every jump he makes is calculated. Would he still be able to jump as accurately as the Five we know? Since Reginald was the one teaching Five what I assume must’ve been some very calculated math, I’m wondering if this version five ever got taught the same thing.
6. Ben: I don’t think I have to say a lot, however I would like to add one thing I noticed. They refer to Ben as “the schemer” and that’s genuinely kinda funny since umbrella Ben was known for being intelligent. It’s nice to see that they actually kept that character trait in so there’s still some feeling that old Ben is still in there somewhere
7. Viktor: ok I’m just gonna say this right off the bat, Viktor is probably the only brellie who probably has a worse life in the sparrow timeline. I don’t know why, this is just a hunch mostly. I think that there’s probably some Russian spy stuff going. Maybe a Russian spy Viktor? Ok wait that’s actually kinda cool. But either way, I’d also love to see a Viktor who’s very experienced in using his powers and in control. Like I feel like there’s a lot of potential in Viktors powers that could be used in some really cool ways, and Viktor hasn’t really had time to really learn how to use them in different ways than just like “ haha sound waves go boom”.
Okay tbh that’s everything I have to say, if you want to add anything feel free to repost!

Hermione and Veronica ‘Ronnie’ Weasley
Summary:  A Romione WLW AU, with Hermione and her best friend Veronica 'Ronnie' Weasley, the sweet redheaded girl who... well, who Hermione finds herself very confused about.
This fic was inspired by a similar AU scenario fic by @hillnerd. As with everything Hilly does, her fic is amazing, but hopefully my fic doesn’t look too bad by comparison. 
                  Read on FFN.                                      Read on AO3.
~~~~~~~~~
Hermione Granger had a problem.
Well, not so much a problem. More of a…. confusion. Something she couldn’t quite put her finger on.
And it had to do with her best friend. Veronica “Ronnie” Weasley.
Ronnie was funny, sweet, kind, and athletic. Over six foot tall, with a mane of long red hair and a mass of freckles, she immediately caught the eye. The boys couldn’t help but notice her, and many of the girls either admired her or felt jealousy towards her. Hermione had lost count of the time she’d seen Dean and Seamus staring at Ronnie from across the common room. On a few occasions, she’d even seen Neville blush after Ronnie had smiled at him.
Not that Ronnie noticed any of this. The redhead had always felt lacking, either to her older brothers or to her younger sister Ginny. Ronnie was, like all her siblings, good at schoolwork, but she had never felt like she could stand out. She had confided to Hermione that, even if she had done well, no-one would ever think much of it, since her brothers had all done it before.
And then there was Ginny. Ronnie’s little sister was about almost a foot shorter, and with more of a nervous energy than that of her older siblings. Hermione had often wondered whether the Weasleys all had a set amount of passion, and that those of a shorter persuasion tended to be more on-edge than their lankier siblings. Granted, this theory didn’t necessarily explain why the short Charlie was so relaxed, while the taller Percy was the exact opposite. Maybe the Weasleys all just reacted differently to their circumstances.
Ronnie was not an intense person. In fact, Hermione found her almost supernaturally relaxed and affable. More prone to telling a chuckle-inducing joke as opposed to an over-the-top prank that was the preferred tactic of Fred and George.
Hermione preferred Ronnie’s way of doing things. Hermione liked a lot about Ronnie. Even if Ronnie personally thought her own matey-ness with people made her unattractive, Hermione couldn’t imagine why such friendliness and kindness could be considered unappealing.
To boys, of course. Yes, just to the boys.
Hermione had the distinct impression that Ronnie felt lacking compared to her little sister. Maybe it was Ronnie’s lack of interest in “girly” things, or her seeming-inability to act with “decorum” (as Hermione’s parents would have put it). It was common for Ronnie to wear a pair of hand-me-down school trousers instead of skirts because, as she herself put it, she hated having to worry about whether people could see up her legs.
Hermione always found herself flustered whenever Ronnie joked about this. Ronnie did have very long legs after all.
She had been friends with Ronnie for years, ever since the Halloween of first year. They hadn’t exactly gotten along before then but, since the incident with the troll, they had become firm friends. It was nice being friends with someone else in the girls dormitory; Lavender and Parvati had never really clicked with Hermione. Ronnie was the first female friend Hermione had ever had.
And then third year had happened.
The two of them had fallen out over their pets. Crookshanks and Scabbers had never gotten along and, at one point, it had looked like Crookshanks had eaten Ronnie’s rat. It had been really lonely not speaking to Ronnie for all that time.
But they had become friends again, and things had settled back to how they had been before.
Well, not exactly.
Ronnie had always been a good friend, but Hermione hadn’t understood why she had missed Ronnie so much when they weren’t speaking. She certainly hadn’t missed Harry in the same way, which was even weirder considering that Harry was a boy.
Hermione had missed Ronnie’s smile, her laugh, her beautiful red hair, the way she would throw an arm around Hermione’s shoulders as they walked to class, the way she would bound up to her and hug Hermione tightly, and the way she would stretch out in the common room so that Hermione couldn’t help but notice her-
Yes, she had certainly missed her friend Ronnie. The same friend who made butterflies appear in Hermione’s stomach whenever Ronnie smiled at her. The same friend who began to inhabit Hermione’s dreams in ways she was becoming very confused about.
Hermione had hoped that… whatever this was would disappear over the summer holidays, and she could just enjoy her friendship with Ronnie with no extra complications.
No such luck. Fourth year had just made everything even more confusing. Harry and Ronnie hadn’t spoken for a while after Harry’s name had appeared in the goblet of fire. Hermione had desperately tried to patch things up between them but, in the end, they had worked it out themselves after the first task.
It was good for them to be a trio again. Although Hermione, Ronnie and Harry had always been a bit unusual. Parvati and Lavender had always been giggling over it, asking both Hermione and Ronnie about which of them Harry was dating. Hermione had always rolled her eyes at this. To her, Harry had always been like a younger brother. Like all younger brothers, he was always getting into mischief and being annoying, but he was her brother nonetheless.
Ronnie had always laughed her head off whenever this question was proposed by Lavender and Parvati. Harry was “her best mate”. End of. Nothing more to say.
But… well, as the Yule Ball approached, suddenly Ronnie stopped laughed and started blushing, avoiding Hermione’s eyes.
‘It’s none of your business,’ she had mumbled, her ears flashing their tell-tale pink.
Hermione had felt her heart slowly sink, although she tried to avoid thinking about why.
Sure enough, the day before the Yule Ball, Hermione had asked Harry about who he was taking, and the boy who lived had blushed scarlet.
‘Er… I asked Ronnie.’
Hermione dropped the book she was holding. The two of them were in the library.
‘What? You mean… you…’
‘I-I don’t know, okay!’ Harry stammered. ‘It’s just… I needed a date for the Ball and Ronnie’s my best mate, so it made sense.’
‘Oh.’
‘Yeah.’
At that moment, someone tapped Hermione on the shoulder. It was Viktor Krum, the Durmstrang champion.
‘Excuse me, may I have a vord?’
Harry looked at the Bulgarian suspiciously.
‘Yes, it’s fine,’ Hermione said, leading Krum away into the next aisle of bookshelves. ‘Which section are you looking for?’
‘No… I… er…’
 *
 ‘Krum?!’
Ronnie’s face looked horrified. It was several hours later, in their dormitory.
‘Well, it wasn’t as if I was going with anyone, so why not?’
‘He’s eighteen, Hermione!’ Ronnie said, urgently. ‘He’s way too old for you!’
‘He’s not dating me, Ronnie,’ Hermione replied. ‘He’ll be more like a chaperone than anything else. Besides, it’s just one ball. It’s not like he’s asking to marry me.’
‘I should think not!’ Ronnie’s face was strangely angry. ‘You’re too good for him.’
Hermione felt her cheeks blush.
‘Thanks,’ she said. ‘Er, congratulations about you and Harry, by the way.’
‘You… you know about that?’ Ronnie asked.
Hermione nodded, wondering why the mood suddenly felt so tense.
‘Yes, he told me earlier. It was nice of you to go with him.’
‘You think so?’
‘Yes. I think you’ll have a great time.’
Hermione hoped that her voice didn’t sound as falsely-cheery as she suspected.
 *
 The Yule Ball was something of an event. It was interesting hearing from Viktor Krum about what Bulgaria was like, but she found herself distracted. Possibly due to the fact that Ronnie and Harry were sat only a few chairs down the table, and kept giggling over stuff. Ronnie was wearing a very lacy dress that Mrs Weasley had only managed to get third-hand; since Ronnie was so tall compared to most girls, her clothes had always been a bit… well, difficult to acquire on a budget. The dress was a few inches shorter than her normal summer shorts were, and Hermione had got the distinct impression that Harry was trying not to stare too much when they had walked through the crowd with the other champions and their partners.
Hermione probably would have enjoyed the dancing too, except that she kept looking round to see what Ronnie and Harry were up to. Ronnie’s hair was long and had a sweet flowery scent that seemed to follow it around the room. Her smile was wide as she danced with Harry, and the way she kept laughing made it difficult for Hermione to concentrate on her own dancing. Why was she so distracted?
‘Vould you like a drink?’ Viktor Krum asked, after a very fast song had finished.
Hermione nodded, and he left for the buffet table.
At that moment, Hermione noticed that Harry and Ronnie were walking towards the balcony area.
Deciding to catch up with them, Hermione darted between several other couple, and poked her head out through the curtains.
Her stomach turned to lead.
Harry was kissing Ronnie on the mouth, and Ronnie was kissing him back.
Stumbling backwards through the curtain, Hermione pushed through the crowd and began to make for the exit. However, she bumped into Ginny and Neville.
‘I’m… feeling a bit unwell,’ she mumbled. ‘Could you tell Viktor Krum that I’ve had to leave?’
Ginny and Neville nodded, but looked concerned and a little confused.
Hermione didn’t stop hurrying until she had arrived back in her dormitory. She washed her make-up off, changed into her pyjamas, and climbed into her four-poster bed.
She had started crying before her head even hit the pillow.
 *
 ‘So… yeah.’
‘Bit weird, but… well, that’s it.’
It was the next day. Harry and Ronnie were talking to Ginny about what had happened. Hermione was eating her breakfast without looking at any of them.
‘So… are you two dating?’ Ginny asked.
Ronnie laughed nervously.
‘No; but… well, we’re gonna see how things change. If it’s not our cup of tea, we can stay friends instead.’
‘Yeah,’ Harry said, cheerfully. ‘Take a bit more than kissing for us to stop being best mates.’
‘Yeah, but…’ Ginny said, her eyes darting to Hermione and then back to Ronnie. ‘Are you sure?’
‘Er, yeah,’ Ronnie said. ‘H-Hermione, what do you think?’
Hermione blinked hurriedly.
‘Oh, I’m sure you two will be very happy,’ she said, a little too cheerfully. ‘I hope you don’t me being a third wheel, then. Anyway, we need to get to first period now.’
Harry nodded, and stood up.
Ronnie remained sitting, looking at Hermione with a slightly confused expression on her freckled face.
Ginny gave a sigh, and went back to her breakfast.
 *
 The next few weeks were not fun for Hermione. Ronnie and Harry had always been a duo and, now that they were sort-of together, Hermione had never felt more like a third wheel. Even though both of them were clearly trying their best not to exclude her, she couldn’t help but feel miserable.
And that wasn’t even getting into the way her heart would thump painfully whenever she caught Ronnie looking at Harry.
It was ridiculous. Hermione couldn’t be jealous! What was there to be jealous of? Harry was like a brother to her, so it clearly wasn’t that.
No, it was something else.
It was Ronnie.
Hermione was in love with Ronnie.
She tried to not think about this. Which normally would have been difficult. But luckily, they were both helping Harry about the second task, which took up a lot of time and mental headspace. And their coursework was so time-consuming that Hermione barely had time to think about her feelings for Ronnie.
Could girls even fall for each other? Hermione had read about that sort of thing happening, but she never would have imagined that it would happen to her.
The day before the second task, she (along with Ronnie) were helping Harry with his preparations for the second Triwizard task, when the Weasley twins arrived.
‘Ronnie, you and Hermione have got a message from Professor McGonagall.’
‘What?’ Hermione asked, confused. ‘She can’t seriously ban us from helping Harry, can she?’
‘No, she just wants you and Ronnie to go to Dumbledore’s office.’
Hermione exchanged confused glances with Ronnie.
When they arrived at Dumbledore’s office, they were not the only confused people there. Cho Chang was also there, plus a young girl speaking in fluent French who was presumably Fleur Delacour’s little sister.
Dumbledore explained about what the second Triwizard task was, and how it would include all of them. Each of the champions would have a hostage, who would be in an enchanted sleep at the bottom of the great lake. The hostages would be perfectly safe underwater, and would return to normal once they were brought back to the surface of the lake.
‘Professor,’ Hermione asked, raising her hand. ‘I don’t understand; why has Harry got both me and Ronnie as his hostages? And where is the hostage for Viktor Krum?’
Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow.
‘Miss Granger, you are Mister Krum’s hostage, not Mr Potter’s.’
Hermione’s eyes widened in confusion. Viktor Krum? She was his “the person he would miss most”? Why? She’d been to the ball with him, but that was it. She hadn’t really spoken to him much since, aside from apologising for leaving the Yule Ball early. Why was she his hostage? Surely, he had friends from Durmstrang that would be a better pick?
Hang, on. Ronnie was Harry’s hostage. The person Harry would miss most.
So, that meant Ronnie was…
Hermione felt her heart sink. She couldn’t even look Ronnie in the eye, but she felt the redhead tense next to her.
Maybe Harry and Ronnie will become a full couple after he rescues her in the task, Hermione thought, miserably, as she slipped into unconsciousness from the sleeping spell Dumbledore had casted, I guess there never was any hope for me…
The next thing Hermione knew, she was treading water in the middle of the great lake. Viktor Krum was pulling her towards the shoreline. Her uniform felt heavy and sodden.
‘Where’s… where’s Harry and Ronnie?’ she asked, as Madam Pomfrey bustled them over to a tent nearby. ‘Haven’t… haven’t they come back yet?’
Madam Pomfrey patted her hand in sympathy, and tutted under her breath, as if she’d quite like a word with the person who came up with the idea for the second task.
A portion of pepper-up potion later, plus some warming spells, and Hermione was stood on the shoreline with Cho Chang and a very worried-looking Fleur Delacour. The French girl’s hostage was still down in the lake. Cho had put an arm around her.
‘They’ll be fine,’ the Ravenclaw was saying. ‘The judges won’t let any harm come to- oh, hello, Hermione.’
‘Hello. Have… have Harry and Ronnie got back yet?’
Cho shook her head.
There was a shout from the crowd, and Hermione looked round. Three people had just surfaced in the middle of the lake. Hermione could see a mane of very familiar red hair. Dashing past Viktor Krum (who seemed intent on chatting to her about something), Hermione wade into the shallows of the water. Fleur Delacour and Percy Weasley joined her.
‘I’m fine, Harry,’ Ronnie was saying, as Harry helped her towards the shore. The two of them were stood awkwardly in the shallows. Percy had stopped fussing over Ronnie, and had gone to find them some warm blankets, followed by the Delacour sisters.
Harry leaned forward and kissed Ronnie on the lips.
Hermione felt her heart sink and, turning away, she walked out of the lake, ignoring Viktor Krum’s renewed attempts at conversation, and left for the castle. People looked at her in confusion as she pushed past. She was glad that she had been given the pepper-up potion, as the February wind whipped through her.
Before she knew it, she was lying in her four-poster bed, crying her eyes out. She had somehow managed to close the curtains around her before she broke down completely. When was she ever going to get over this? She had no “claim” on Ronnie; after all, Ronnie liked boys, Ronnie liked Harry. And, next to Harry, why would Ronnie possibly look at Hermione? A bookworm. A girl. Just the best friend.
‘H-Hermione?’
Ronnie. Oh, god, Hermione thought, she can’t see me like this…
‘G-go away, Ronnie.’
‘What, and leave you miserable? Not on your life.’
‘I’m-I’m fine, Ronnie. J-just a bit exhausted from the task.’
‘Did… did Krum do something to you?’
‘No!’ Hermione exclaimed, pulling back the curtains of her four-poster. ‘Of course not! He’s barely even held my hand! What… how could you…’
‘W-well,’ Ronnie said, her ears turning pink. ‘You were “the person he would miss the most”, after all.’
Hermione stared at her for a second.
‘I don’t see Viktor Krum like that,’ she said, earnestly. ‘He’s… well… like a chaperone.’
‘He fancies you.’
‘You mean like Harry fancies you?’
Ronnie looked as if Hermione had slapped her.
‘You… you saw him kissing me, then?’
Hermione nodded.
‘Is that why you’re crying?’
Hermione mentally cursed. Her cheeks were still wet with tears.
‘I’m… I’m very happy for you both.’
‘Don’t insult my intelligence, Hermione,’ Ronnie said, hotly. ‘You’re clearly upset about it. What, you fancy Harry or something?’
‘What? No!’ Hermione said. ‘Harry’s like a brother to me! Why would you-’
‘Well, what’s your problem, then?!’ Ronnie exclaimed, coming to stand barely a few inches away from her.
‘Don’t be… it’s… well…I-’
‘Hermione, what is it?’
‘It’s not Harry that I fancy, Ronnie; it’s you!’
There was a deafening silence.
‘I… I shouldn’t have said that,’ Hermione mumbled. ‘Sorry, forget I-’
‘No, what do you mean?’ Ronnie asked. ‘Do… do you mean that?’
‘Y-yes,’ Hermione whispered. ‘I’m sorry. I know you don’t see me like that. I’ve ruined our friendship-’
Hermione stopped talking. Because Ronnie had suddenly leaned forward and was kissing her on the mouth. Hermione’s brain seemed to disengage. Ronnie’s lips were soft and delicate as they pressed against Hermione’s. The redhead’s body heat felt like a warm fire against her, despite how little they were touching.
A few seconds later, although it could have lasted for hours for all that Hermione knew, Ronnie pulled away slightly.
‘Do… do you really mean that?’ Ronnie whispered, her hands tender as they interlaced with Hermione’s. ‘You… you really fancy me?’
Hermione nodded, feeling very confused.
‘Yes. Ever since… actually, I don’t know when. But… why…’
‘I… I fancy you, Hermione,’ Ronnie said, softly. ‘I… I thought you didn’t feel the same way.’
‘You fancy me?’
‘Er, did I not just kiss you? Would have thought it’d be a giveaway…’
Hermione giggled.
‘Okay, I believe you. But how-’
The door opened. Harry poked his head through.
‘Everything okay?’
‘Yeah,’ Ronnie said, cheerfully as she held Hermione’s hand. ‘She’s okay. And so am I.’
‘Cool. And… did you both…’
Ronnie nodded.
‘Fantastic!’ Harry said, grinning. ‘I’m so happy for you two!’
‘W-wait, what?’ Hermione exclaimed, utterly at sea. ‘Harry, did… did you know?’
‘I guessed. Besides, me and Ronnie work better as friends anyway.’
‘You… you two aren’t a couple?’ Hermione gasped, looking between them both. ‘I thought… after you kissed at the lake-’
‘You are one daft maid,’ Ronnie chuckled, pecking her on the cheek. ‘But that makes two of us, eh?’
Hermione smiled, as she held Ronnie’s hand. Maybe, on occasion, the best friend did get the girl. Even if they were also a girl, too.

L E O N + cassie OR J O H N + vera .... whoever you’re feeling atm 🖤
por que no los dos!!! 💗✨
Cassie
L: Lemons 1. what is their favorite fruit? Twizzlers! lmao no uh probably apples? 2. what is their least favorite fruit? Pomegranates. 3. are there any foods they hate? Yeah! She’s not a big fan of spicy food she’s more of a hearty and carb-filled comfort food person. Like she’d rather have fried chicken than chicken wings. 4. do they have any food intolerances? Nope! 5. what is their favorite food? Some good homemade chicken noodle soup!
E: External Personality 1. does the way they do things portray their internal personality? Sort of? She’s a pretty blunt person and if she doesn’t like something/you she’ll let you know but in terms of her own feelings and how soft and emotional/empathetic she is she keeps that locked down. But put her in a room with her dad, sisters and nieces/nephews you can see how much that comes out and she lights up. 2. do they do things that conform to the norm? No, not very much lmao. She’s got a little rap sheet of trespassing/loitering/illegal gathering/etc she’s done to Get The Scoop and she’s very distrustful of almost all authority figures. Also, she’s very outspoken about the things she believes in! 3. do they follow trends or do their own thing? No way, Cassie does her own thing. She’d hate it if someone said she was following the crowd. 4. are they up-to-date on the internet fads? dkglsdkg yeah she’s on twitter pretty frequently as well as instagram. Doesn’t mean she follows them but she is...meme fluent. 5. do they portray their personality intentionally or let people figure it out on their own? Cassie likes to be perceived in a certain way but it’s more so for herself not other people so she usually just doesn’t give a fuck about what other people think after that and they can figure it out themselves.
O: Optimism 1. are they optimistic or pessimistic? Pessimistic about most stuff but Cassie also has like this really nice inherent belief that most human beings are good. 2. are they openly optimistic, throwing it on others? No not at all, she advises against just blindly trusting people/situations actually. 3. are they good at giving advice? She’s a little too....blunt when giving advice. Cassie doesn’t sugar coat things which is a bit of a problem if that’s what the person doesn’t want/needs in that moment. 4. is there anyone in their life that throws optimism on them? Yes! A lot of her friends and Leon (at least starting out) are far more optimistic about things. 5. were they always optimistic? Nah, she’s always been pretty pessimistic.
N: Never Have I Ever 1. what would they never do? Betray her beliefs! Even if someone she loves asked her to. 2. what have they never done that they want to do? Travel more in a nonwork capacity! Can’t really see the sites and experience different lifestyles if she’s...in the middle of a warzone. 3. is there anything they absolutely can’t believe people do? In a more serious way, Cassie has seen so much of what human beings can inflict on each other that it never really shocks her at this point. In a more light-hearted way, she can’t believe people eat eggs with ketchup. 4. what is the most embarrassing thing they’ve done? Cassie doesn’t get embarrassed too easily in her adult life but she definitely was a bit dorky in middle school/highschool so probably something that we’ve all done like said smth goofy to her crush or whatever. 5. have they done anything they thought they’d never do? Yes, constantly. Ever since Racoon City, it’s kind of pushed her to a place she would never have imagined she’d be in. What matters to her is that she still holds to her morals even when shooting zombies in the face. She just kind of had to adjust her morals a little bit to face that.
Vera
J: Joy 1. what makes them happy? Money, motorcycles, food (especially loaded ramen babey), clothes, custom pistols, winning. 2. who makes them happy? Johnny, the Aldecaldos, all of her friends back in Night City and those who have left too like Judy. 3. are there any songs that bring them joy? Besides roasting all of the Samurai songs in front of Johnny? Savage by Megan thee Stallion is definitely a jam of hers. 4. are they happy often? Prior to the ending of the game, yes but fleetingly? She always wanted more and more and more. After the end game, she heals slowly and learns how to be truly happy. 5. what brings them the most joy in the world? Johnny and her other loved ones...corny ass...😒🥰
O: Optimism 1. are they optimistic or pessimistic? Definitely optimistic! That bites her in the ass when she gets shot in the face and left in the dump so uh...THAT definitely makes her a little more pessimistic. 2. are they openly optimistic, throwing it on others? Lmao definitely. Her and Jackie together always getting drunk and talking up about how they’re going to make it with everybody. :( 3. are they good at giving advice? Vera’s advice a lot of the time is “kill him” or “dump him” so...you decide. 4. is there anyone in their life that throws optimism on them? Not throws optimism at her but more so helps Vera see that she’s worth more than dying young and being a fleeting memory in a fast city. Like Viktor, Misty, River, Panam... 5. were they always optimistic? Honestly, Vera became an optimistic in her early years almost to cope with the sad reality of her upbringing? She saw so much bad shit going around and was like but I’m going to make it. My life is not going to be this way.
H: Heat 1. do they rather a hot or cold room? Hot! Loves to be warm and wandering around in shorts and a tank top. It drives Johnny nuts because he prefers being colder and hates the heat (probably because he wears so much fucking leather...dumbass). 2. do they prefer summer or winter? Summer! Fond memories of breaking open fire hydrants as a kid. Eating dollar ice pops from the ice cream truck and sitting on the curb chucking rocks at cars going by. 3. do they like the snow? No way lmao. Vera doesn’t know how to cope with snow she’s like what the fuck is this. 4. do they have a favorite summer activity? Laying out and getting a tan! 5. do they have a favorite winter activity? Staying inside and ~staying warm~ with Johnny.
N: Never Have I Ever 1. what would they never do? Betray her friends or the people she came up with/her community. 2. what have they never done that they want to do? Travel! She went to Atlanta obviously but it just...ended up being more of the same shit as Night City. She wants to experience different things and different people and just get away from that shit. 3. is there anything they absolutely can’t believe people do? Pledge their souls to corporations! Vera says fuck Corpos with her whole chest while completely ignoring it might be someone’s only choice. Vera is kind of a mind like if she dies some nameless nobody at least she never “sold out”. 4. what is the most embarrassing thing they’ve done? slkdggkj definitely something while she’s drunk and partying and doesn’t remember. There are some people whose parties she crashed that absolutely hate her and she’s like...I don’t wanna know what happened. 5. have they done anything they thought they’d never do? Left Night City!

okay here’s my full character analysis??? Headcanons???? canon retelling with my shit slapped on??? on
VIKTOR LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
(under read more cause its gonna get long)
Viktor is said to be born in the borders of the Entresol level of Zaum (aka the middle), but I’m guessing that means the lower border because of how often he’d have to move or stay away from home due to accidents.
I assume Viktor had good parents. They were artisans and seemed to encourage his creative pursuits with robotics and so on. (I also believe he is trans and that his parents supported him in that as well haha).
So yes, we have this child who likes building things. And he lives in this place that is not healthy or safe for the people that live there. His parents probably go to the upper levels to work and Viktor gets a glimpse of a better place there. He sees where he’s at and at first, he is motivated by both kindness and frustration. He is a child with a passion and all these leaks and accidents are getting in the way! So he starts studying to see what he can do. Time passes though and he realizes the extent of those things, the casualities of those humam errors. So he takes his work more seriously and soon he is producing results. But of course no one takes a teen seriously, no matter how good he is.
Until someone does and it works. His inventions are good! So he keeps doing it! He’s awkward and socially anxious but he really LOVES building things so he does it and sells his work to the factories until he gets the attention of the Zaun academy of techmaturgy (this is canon btw). 
He goes into the academy and he’s.... awkward... Like, Zaun is full of weird people sure but Viktor is pretty bad at talking about anything but robotics and stuff and comes off as blunt often, so he’s kinda isolated by his peers. He doesn’t mind, he’s there to study. But professor stanwick approaches him with interest in his work and Viktor is happy he is recognized by a professional. He’s a little naive back then and trusts his teacher a lot. Which is why he is convinced to move to Piltover, despite a bit of his reluctance to leave his home. His parents wave him goodbye and he leaves.
He moves to Piltover and gets a better lab, more tools, more money and more people to help. His work just improves in time and he’s put to work with a lot of people. He once again fails incredibly of socializing properly and falls into isolation yet again (hello darkness my old friend). People end up working with him either because he’s really the best option or because they can stand him for the time he is needed {:- (
Well, that is, until he works with Jayce. Jayce is infurating and doesn’t do things the way Viktor likes doing and has this weird outlook on how things are done that sometimes just works despite it all. He’s a puzzle that doesn’t make sense and the two end up doing a lot of things together. And having a lot of discussions. A LOT of them. They are both kinda lonely. But its like.. they don’t dislike eachother?? Because they kind skipped some steps in how socializing usually goes so it just kinda worked. 
They could’ve kept going, getting comfortable in eachother’s spaces until they could just go out to chill together or something but neither of them was brave enough to try it (or smart enough to realize that could be good). 
But then at this time that awful chem spill happened in Zaun in the entresol level and Viktor rushes home to help.
I’d say this is where Viktor’s character starts like, solidifying I guess? Because I think for the first time, as a grown mature person, Viktor is seeing death and suffering with his own eyes. Death and suffering that could’ve been avoided. He’s watching all these people die and suffer and he can only do so much to repair the damage. If only it could’ve been avoided, could’ve been stopped. He knows it’s possible. Why didn’t anyone do it? 
He doesn’t find his parents either.
So he spends the next several months throwing all his energy and sanity into doing whatever he can to help these people. He builds blitzcrank and they fix evertyhign they can. It’s a fucking CHEM spill, can you imagine just how AWFUL it all was?? people were dying for several weeks after the accident , even after the damage to the structures were already fixed. These people were slowly suffering around him and he was trying and they kept dying around him. These are workers, families. It’s a pretty bad situation.
He learnes how to infuse mechanical parts with flesh in an astonishing way just to try to replace the rotten, sick parts of the people around him. Get rid of the parts that were kiling them.
And then! He finally goes back to Piltover, after it all, and the first thing he gets is the news that Stanwick stole credits on his invention of Blitzcrank.
Like.. the emotional toll of it all? He’s tired! He’s burdened with the ammount of death he saw and people wanna be shitty and play games like that for glory and fame! It’s stupid and he doesn’t understand it! He tries to fight for his right and loses because no one really bothered to support him through it (Jayce didn’t think he’d really have to and would you look at that).
He’s angry and upset and grieving and possibly traumatized. He keeps wondering why would people do that to eachother and comes up empty. So he’s here, obsessing with replacing every part of human error to garantee that people WILL live. Of course, he’s more isolated then ever and people don’t bother to sit down and listen, they just think he’s weird and obsessed and stuff like that.
So when he needs to do the colaboration on the dive suits with Jayce and they have their fight about free will, people side with Jayce quickly. They think Viktor is mad and they had seen it coming miles away. 
He gets fucking expelled from the Piltover academia and sent back to Zaun.
To his ruined home, alone, with nothing but his name and his thoughts.
Clearly that leads him into a deep depression. After all, he lost everything but he doesn’t understand why ! because sure these people in piltover like acting high and mighty and theorizing and politicizing but they didn’t have to watch children crying because they were coughing so much blood was coming out because their lungs were corroded and they wouldnt last another week. They thought viktor was mad. 
And viktor had a lot of time to wallow over it, and think about his failures and suffer on his own and he’s actual conclusion is that negative emotions ( envy, pride, sadness) clouded people’s judgemetns. They’d let others suffer for their own gain out of fear of losing. 
He thought that himself feeling sadness was just another obstacle to do what he had to: save people.
So he basically starts operating on himself until he can barely feel emotions anymore, removing his own happiness with it (but its not like he felt it anyway so what difference did it make). And then he starts plunging into work like never before, dedicated to this new cause that is the glorious evolution. He starts again from the bottom and once again he rises, because Viktor is a genious, and he is honest in his work, in his intentions. He wants to help.
 People were scared of the Mad Man Viktor, but Viktor would do anything he could to save you if you came to him. He understood limits though, he never imposed over people. Do no harm, as they say ( what would be the point of doing that?? )
And then the other toxic even happens in Sump, another really bad one, and Viktor rushes in to help. He’s keeping these people alive in his lab but he knows he doesnt have the power to keep them so. So he goes to Jayce after an energy source.
He thinks Jayce will listen to him now, now Viktor isn’t emotive and easily hurt, now he isn’t insecure, he has a cause, he has something he fights for. A brighter tomorrow.
And Jayce calls him mad. 
Viktor is kind of dissapointed, he’d think Jayce, who has always been so uncaring of people’s opinion’s would at least try to understand. He doesn’t. So he takes the crystal by force from Jayce (petty arguments can be saved for later, those people on his lab needed him NOW).
When Jayce follows him there with a hammer he understands the stakes. 
One life against hundreds is an easy math. Viktor chooses to sacrifice Jayce (Jayce chose to come here after all)
But then Jayce actually destroys his lab.
And like... imagine waking up to your laboratory destroyed, just dozens of corpses of innocent people laying around. yet another failure, yet another big price to pay.
He has to start from zero again. His reputation is completely stepped on ( he is truly crazy now by everyone’s eyes) and Jayce is a hero. Blitzcrank sticks around for a little while, moved by the same passion to help people, but blitzcrank can stand the deaths and the gruesomeness of viktor’s work, he leaves to try to help in other ways. Viktor lets him of course, blitz has free will and he isn’t anyone to stop him. 
Some people, desperate people, still come to him for help. He does his best to give them what they need. A strange cult forms and idolizes him, he hates it, he is no god, he is just another man. People thinking of him as an etheral being just proves his theory on how fear and wayward emotions lead to dumb, dangerous mistakes.
In the end, Viktor is trying to cheat suffering, cheat death at all costs.
I don’t believe he sent any golems or anything after Jayce, vengence is way too beneath him. Stealing? Maybe not, depends. I think Jayce became a bit paranoid after “defeating” viktor. Because Viktor said some big words and Jayce is suddenly realizing that truly, he has no purpose. He’s just a useless tool. He makes things sure, but what for? He’s raised as a hero but damn he doesn’t feel like it.
And to end it all, this is why I think Ekko and Viktor should sit down and chat at some point. They are so similar and so different all at once. They both love Zaun and its people, they both wanna protect them and have a passion for inventing. But while Viktor wants to reject his human side to achieve his goals, Ekko embraces it. Like, I don’t think Viktor shouldn’t even be his mentor, more like his colleague. Ekko is his own person and has a different way of doing things, but they could do a lot together as well. 
Also Ekko and Blitz are totally friends in canon so like.. yeah.. Zaun for life....
Anyway this is it thank tou all for reading this is UUUH like 1,8k words long 
extras or stuff I already said and will say again:
viktor is trans
he was an anxious yet hopeful (and maybe a bit naive) teenager
he still loves sweet things and thats canon.. he likes chilling sometimes
workaholic as seen
blames himself for literally everything like a dumbass
is kinda of very afraid of death in general
is not the kind of person that steals children to experiment on them cmon guys thats propaganda
is embarrassed of the cult following him
i guess he doesnt have his whole left arm anymore, chop chop it went
USED braces as  kid
loves blitzcrank like a son, doesnt realize it
I think thats all, sorry yall

Like I said; I don’t like Hospitals
Chapter 2
[Masterlist]
Summary:  You help Misha while he’s going through a hard time. The two of you quickly become friends, but will it lead to something more in such trying circumstances?
Words: 1766
Pairing: Misha/Reader
You wake up to hear Clara’s muffled voice talking on the phone next door. You roll over and reach for your phone to check the time, only to find it’s not there. Groaning, you throw aside the sheets and stand up.
You pad through to the kitchen in your socks to find that Clara is using your phone. She offers you a small wave and a smile, pointing enthusiastically at some toast on the table.
“For me?” You mouth incredulously, and she nods.
“Yeah, well it was good talking to you. Buh-bye.” Clara hands you back your phone.
“Who was that?” You ask through a mouthful of toast.
“Oh just Viktor. My phone’s out of charge I hope you don’t mind.” She does puppy eyes, and you roll your eyes.
“It’s fine.”
She grins and claps her hands together. “I made toast.”
“Yeah I noticed. What’s gotten into you?” You ask, in mock surprise.
“Hm, I dunno. I just feel really on today. Ya know?” She chirps, hopping round to peck you on the cheek.
“Not really.” You mumble.
“Grumpy boots.” She purrs. “Anyway, I gotta go.” You raise an eyebrow. “Meeting up with Sophia and the guys.” She explains.
“Kay. Have fun.”
She practically skips away and you hear the door slam. You sigh, wondering what to do on a Sunday, by yourself.
You opt for a quiet day of TV watching and tea drinking. You’ve just sat down when you hear what sounds like a knock at the door. You sigh and stand up reluctantly to see who it is.
You open the door to see Misha desperately trying to keep his kids quiet and usher them down the hall towards the elevator. He freezes when he sees you.
“Um, hi.”
“Hey,” You reply sceptically. “You look better than last night anyway.” You step out of your apartment only to trip over a basket of sorts. “Woah,” You exclaim, narrowly avoiding face-planting.
“Sorry,” Misha winces, “Didn’t expect to cause this much chaos.” He chuckles.
“What’s this?” You ask, picking up the basket. You see now it has a small treasure trove of fruits and chocolates and what looks like preserves.
“I wanted to thank you for being so amazing yesterday.” Misha shuffles awkwardly where he’s standing. “I was in a hard place and you really helped me out.”
“You’re welcome, but I mean I don’t need some kind of repayment Misha,” You laugh, “I did it because you looked like you could use some help.”
Misha waves a hand in dismissal. “It’s the least I could do. Keep it, please.”
You shrug, “Well, thank you.” You step outside to pick it up, and as you do you hear a dreaded click.
“Fu- uh –crap.” You cringe remembering the children present. “Sorry – locked myself out.” You say, kicking yourself mentally.
“Don’t worry about it,” Misha laughs. “Can you get back in?”
“Um,” You think, “Clara will be home in a few hours I guess…” You say doubtfully.
Misha nods, thinking for a moment. “Well if you’re looking for something to do, you could hang out with us? You know, if you want.” He adds bashfully.
“Sure, I’d love to.” You say before looking down at your feet. “Although I don’t have any shoes…”
“Ah,” Misha replies, “I should have some in the car you can borrow,” He glances out the window at the end of the hall, eyeing the rain, and a grin creeps onto his face. “Although I might have to carry you there.”
“Nuh uh mister.” You laugh, “I’m sure I’ll find another way.”
He shrugs, “Maybe.”
When you get down to the street you see the extent of the rain. There are a few inches of flooding just outside and a small river running beside the kerb.
West is wearing rain boots so he runs out into the street, giggling. Maison stays with her dad, pacifier in her mouth.
Misha smirks at you and raises an eyebrow.
You roll your eyes. “Were you actually offering to carry me? I’m fine to walk; I just might get your car a bit wet…” “I’m stronger than I look.” He grins, “Piggy back?”
“Okay.” You shrug. Misha walks in front of you and offers his back. Careful to distribute your weight, you jump up onto him, wrapping your arms around his neck. He grabs your thighs and charges forward, making you squeal. He just laughs and keeps running around.
A small, impatient voice breaks you from your revelry. “Daddy.” Maison’s still on your front doorstep with her arms crossed, scowling.
“Oh right, sorry Mais.” Misha says, walking back over; you still on his back. “This… Could be tricky.” Misha chuckles. “Okay, I think the only way this is gonna work is if Maison, you get on Y/N’s back, and she gets on mine, okay everyone?”
You laugh, “Fine with me.”
Maison’s more reluctant at first, but after some coaxing and a little bribery, you have her small toddler hands wrapped around your neck.
“Can’t… Breath,” You croak, giving Misha a pleading look.
“Maison,” Misha laughs, “Stop trying to throttle Y/N. Come on,” He walks over to adjust her hands, “There! Is that better Y/N?”
“Much,” You gasp, appreciating the oxygen. Misha just chuckles. “Okay, now on you get.” He offers his back again, and you climb on, trying even harder this time not to break his back.
“Everyone on?” He asks, surprisingly unaffected by the two people currently clutching to him for dear life.
“Yep,” You say, your concentration fully on not dropping Maison, and not falling off.
West is already getting impatient beside the car, making a moat from fallen leaves in a puddle.
Misha somehow opens a back door and manages to unhook Maison from around your neck, without dropping anyone in any puddles. He then drops you in the front seat and seatbelts his kids.
You notice how he seems to be doing significantly better than yesterday and can’t help but be slightly amazed.
He eventually buckles everyone in and flops down in the driver’s seat.
“So, where are we going?” You ask cheerfully.
Misha sighs, “I was planning on going to the park but…” He frowns, looking around at the rain. “Looks like that isn’t gonna happen.”
West suddenly speaks up, “Can we go see mommy?” He asks, sounding surprisingly cheerful - considering the situation.
You see Misha visibly tense. “Not right now Westie. How about we go get ice cream instead?”
“Okay.” West replies unenthusiastically, looking out the window.
“West! Don’t you like ice cream?” You ask incredulously, making a ridiculously shocked face.
West giggles a little. “Yeah.”
“Oh thank God, I thought I’d met the first ever person not to like ice cream for a second there!”
West grins at this, and you see Misha smile gratefully at you out of the corner of your eye.
“So what’s your favourite flavour?” You ask as Misha starts the engine.
You ordered chocolate ice cream. Despite the torrential rain outside, everything about Misha’s family seems so bright and sunny, ice cream kinda works.
“So we basically would have had to some weird ass orgies to get any further, and don’t get me wrong, we considered it – but…” Misha’s story is interrupted by your phone ringing.
It’s Clara. “Sorry, I should probably get this.” You say, smiling apologetically and standing up. You walk to the front door, away from all the hustle and bustle.
“Hey babe.” You say into the receiver.
“Y/N? Where are you?”
“Oh, that guy from yesterday – Misha – came by and I locked myself out of the apartment… Long story short; I’m out getting ice cream with him and his kids.”
“Um, okay, cool.” She says, slightly despondently.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, it’s just you seem to keep doing stuff without telling me, I wish you’d let me know.”
“I’m sorry; it’s not on purpose – these things just kinda… Happen.”
“Just tell me next time.”
“I will. Love you babe.”
“See you later.” She hangs up and you frown – she doesn’t normally care this much.
“Is everything okay?” Misha asks as you sit back down next to him.
“Yeah, fine.” You smile at him, but now you’re off in your own little world.
Is this what relationships are supposed to feel like? You wonder. Constantly wondering when you’ll get some alone time, or if she’ll run off with someone new – someone better. You have had more fun with Misha today than you have in months; maybe even years.
“Y/N?” Misha startles you from your thoughts and you realise you were staring at the rain, a frown on your face. The table seems to have gone silent.
“Hm? Oh, sorry I was just lost in my head there.” You smile at Misha, but he looks concerned.
He leans in close so the kids can’t hear and asks, “You sure you’re okay?”
“Yeah,” You nod, “I’ll tell you another time.” You nod at West who’s now climbing onto the table – his foot in his sister’s ice cream bowl.
“West!” Misha yelps, “Get down from there! How do you even do these things?”
Misha drops you off a few hours later, and walks you up to your apartment, leaving the kids in the car.
“Listen, I know today was all fun and games, but really, I do appreciate what you did for me yesterday.” Misha says cordially.
“It was nothing, really.” You deflect. “Speaking of… You okay? How’s all… That going?” You ask, your concern written on your face.
“I’m coping.” Misha smiles sadly. “It isn’t easy.” He laughs, “Especially with those monsters.”
“Yeah,” You nod sympathetically. “I can imagine.” You chuckle. “If you even need anything – friend, babysitter, someone to talk to – I’m a phone call away.”
“I appreciate it. I should probably get back before they trash the car too much.”
“Yeah, that’s probably smart.” You give him a small wave, but he dismisses it and wraps you in a warm hug.
“Clara?” You shout, shutting the front door behind you; she leaves it unlocked, much to your protest. “I’m back.”
There’s no reply; strange.
You walk further into the apartment, and as you near the bedroom you hear faint crying.
“Clara?” You call, eyebrows tenting in concern.
You push open the door to your en-suite. Sitting, knees to her chest, on the floor is your sobbing girlfriend.
“Clara? What’s wrong?” You ask, moving closer. She just wails louder, her eyes screwed shut. Slowly she raises her hand as if to show you something.
All of a sudden you recognise what she’s holding – a pregnancy test.
“I’m pregnant Y/N.” She snivels.
Chapter 3
A/N: Ooh, plot twist and two chapters in one day! Don’t get used to it i’m a lazy fucker I’m kinda busy just now, plus queen of procrastination. 
Oh yeah, also, I know there isn’t exactly much Misha action right now, but the build up is important! Trust me. There will be plentiful reader action soon enough.
Again, hope y’all like this, feedback welcome, asks open, say hi, yada yada. Have a good day :D

All of the numbers ^_O
So, this is from a loooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, but I recently, in trying to get myself to do creative stuff, found where I’d written out the responses for this, but never posted them?
This was in relevance to this OC thing. I answered 4&23 over here, and I answered all the multiples of 5 over here, so I’ve excluded them from this post.
Responses under the cut:
1: listento nightcore 
ProbablyBeryl. Without headphones, for the express purpose of trying toirritate other people.
2: cryover a tv show finale 
Saeru’sa total softie, so she’s the obvious answer (I can totally seeFirenze doing this, though).
3: break out into songbroadway-style Probably Divya. She’s very extrovertedand likes to goof around and have fun, and is not ashamed whether shesounds good or bad.
6: read shoujo manga
Hmm…probably Saeru? While she’s probably dismissed the possibility ofromance for herself, she’s a definite sucker for cute love stories,and just emotional stories in general.
7: sing inthe shower
Hisokaused to be an idol, and never lost her love of singing, so I imagineshe’s very prone to this. She’s also just generally having a goodtime 24/7.8: injure themselves trying to cook 
Divya.Being an alchemist, she’s probably not that bad at cooking. She is,however, extremely clumsy and accident prone.
9: startlistening to Christmas music in october Most likely Sanaa.I imagine she’s the sort that doesn’t get tired of Christmasmusic ever (and as a choir teacher, she probably hears it alot).
11: need help figuring out how to use theirsmart phone
Ignoringthe characters that don’t have access to that level of technology,it’d be Aristos. He’s kind of slow to pick up on things, andisn’t tech-savvy. At all.
12: get a speedingticket
Viktor.He’s responsible for a surprising amount of transportation, anddoesn’t like driving slow (admittedly, to get the ticket, he’dfirst have to actually stop for the police which is… not likely.Potentially more likely to get arrested).
13: impulsivelyadopt a cat or dog
Aoideand Aristos are both Pokemon trainers, so they’re both very proneto that, but that’s kind of cheating. As far as non-Pokemontrainers, Ahri and Willow are both super impulsive, so I could seeeither of them doing that.
14: faint at the sight ofbloodDespite the fact that I do this, I can’t really see anyof my characters doing it.
16: pull an all-nightertrying to finish last minute homework 
Duringthe time span he was in school (still not entiiiiiirely sure howschool’s supposed to work in Pokemon), Aristos was probably prettyprone to leaving assignments for last minute. His determination tonot be one-upped by Nayeli wouldn’t just let him give up on theassignment, though. 
17: explore a supposedlyhaunted building
Aoide.Gotta find those ghost Pokemon. She also gives 0 fucks abouteverything.
18: flirt with someone at everyopportunity 
Viktor’sthe most likely to flirt in general, since that’s his go-toinformation gathering strategy. Ahri will take every opportunity toflirt with the person she likes (unfortunately for these twocharacters, I have no idea how flirting works; so sorry).
19: throwanything awayNot sure what this means by ‘anything,’ butBeryl will gladly throw whatever away, especially if it’s someoneelse’s. Eilwen’s a firm believer in “recycling.”
21: takeway too many selfies 
Divya.She’s very self-confident, and also enjoys pretty clothes/jewelry,so I feel like she’d want to catalogue it/show it off. Probablyinvolves her friends in a lot of the selfies. (This is ignoring thefact that she has no access to cellphones.)
22: wearall black, even in the summer 
Idon’t really have an oc’s who fall into that sort of category(that I can think of at the moment). The closest would be Viktor, whotends to wear darker colors, and doesn’t care about the heat. (Itechnically have a RWBY oc who would wear all black, but they’renot developed enough for me to have a whole lot aboutthem.)24: keep a diaryLise Pilkvist.Despite her quiet, calm outer appearance, she’s fairly sentimentalas far as memories go.

what are your least favorite things about the manga? (ignoring original characters and things)
Honestly, despite some issues with Viktor, he’s far from my least favorite thing.
I mean, maybe the mafia men are PRETTY close because mafia and murder but.
But my least favorite thing, even if I counted the manga unique cast, is a combination of the heights being all over the place (IT THROWS ME OFF SO MUCH) and the timeline making no sense.
Like I get that these are their own stories, but the amount of time between each book is a few months minus the 2nd and 3rd which I think are just like a week at most or so? And like I think the entire story is supposed to take place within a year… And it just… it doesn’t fit and it drives me crazy. And like, it’s unique stories so it doesn’t necessarily NEED to, but it’s just a weird immersion thing and even attempting to figure out where things go, the amount of time inbetween just doesn’t work.
Like there’s a scene towards the end of the 5th book that is supposed to be, I believe, a few months (I skimmed so it could be a bit less) after all the Australia stuff… which by the guys’ outfits, have to be somewhere between 18 and 22 which is hard in itself because 19 takes off right after 18 and it’s like a mix so the ending scene would need to be sometime during all the play rehearsals and it’s giving me a headache just TRYING to make it make sense and I can’t.
I’m just too organized of a person and I really get into like… details of stuff I care about so this kind of thing, while small, REALLY gets to me. Like I’m guessing the books are supposed to be more of an AU if anything and thus, the episodes that they happen around may not even happen in “this” universe, but I guess as a manga for a game, I still kind of expected to able to imagine it along.
Also a call out to the speech bubbles that still often confuse me with who the heck is supposed to be speaking sometimes because they’re ordered so weirdly.
