Even more rambles about the ending of Attack on Titan + alternate ending idea because I think the idea that it was the only way to protect Paradis is complete horseshit.

One of the weaknesses that Paradis had that was very crucial to how things came to be was that Paradis doesn't have much experience with diplomacy. These people thought they were the only humans around, they felt they had no need for diplomacy, international trade, and how the world worked. I think this caused issues with how they handled Lady Azumabito and how Hizuru demanded a "test Rumbling" as part of it's terms of diplomacy.

They are a young, naive nation that is vulnerable for exploitation, and we see Yelena really milk that; fortunately the people of Paradis are not that stupid and did eventually think something was wrong. When I watched those scenes I also couldn't help but think about instances in the real world where a superpower helps a developing country and then runs that country into debt. Though I think Hizuru might have been more likely to do that than Yelena due to the demands for the iceburst crystals.

Had Paradis had someone who was more diplomatically minded, maybe someone from the Reeves company or a former member of the royal court, they would have someone who would be selfish in negotiation and assume the other party was selfish too.

This may have played into Eren's growing cynicism of the outside world being nothing but a nightmare to be cleansed.

I think had Paradis done more research about the outside world, diplomacy, international relations, etc. The Rumbling could have been avoided.

Which gets me to the alternate ending I would have loved to see. Wherein Paradis courts other nations who hate Marley. Unfortunately, other nations are said to hate Eldians more than even Marley. I know this was one of the reasons for a test Rumbling was so that other countries wouldn't just like, invade Paradis and sack the island of all it's resources. Paradis would have to have another bargaining chip.

Funnily enough, Armin could have been that bargaining chip. Hey he's a walking nuke. Wow, that sounds horrible, treating Armin like some kind of object to be loaned like that. Or Paradis could say "hey we have a reusable nuke that turns into a 200ft burning kaiju upon detonation and is reusable".

Another bargaining chip would be a country that been invaded by Marley wherein Marley heavily uses titans against them. Paradis would have intel and resources to deal with them. Even though technology is surpassing titans, titans are still used by Marley as we saw with the Eastern Alliance fort. Nations have to rely on anti-titan technology but it still is very fallible.

Which gets me to another method to achieve this:

Unite the world against Marley. Bring the truth to light. Enter the international stage with bravery instead of fear.

Imagine this. During Willie Tybur's speech, Eren says the same kind of stuff to Reiner as he does in canon. He does not transform though. Instead he talks about how he's not going to give that asshole the satisfaction he's looking for. He then smiles at Reiner begging for forgiveness and tells Falco to remember that night well where he saw the true face of Marley.

While Willie Tybur is awkwardly waiting for Eren to eat him, Armin steps up. Armin gives a scathing "how dare you" speech in front of everyone to Willie. Armin even threatens to transform if someone ever shoots him, so that Marely's military can't gun him down there. He brings up every crime that Marley has done to the rest of the world and concludes that Marely is no different from the old Eldian Empire. Marely was just mad that Eldia was not them. Armin mentions how Paradis was the victim of Marley for a long time, and that Paradis has been honed into being excellent titan killers. Of course he would have to bring up the Rumbling as an "or else" thing.

So basically gives the world a warning: please be nice to us, or else. Also I am a walking nuke. We are willing to be nice and friendly, we have suffered the same as you. Also I am a walking nuke. Fuck Marley, you don't have to risk the apocalypse to get your hands on shiny iceburst crystals and oil, we'll help you if you help us. Also I am a walking nuke, and I have a friend here who can literally like fucking eat you right now, do you want this theater to be a warzone? Because it's your choice if you want it to be. Oh yeah, and lets not forget, I am a walking nuke.

So what happens if this is successful is that Paradis modernizes and gets diplomatic and economic ties with other countries. Maybe Eren supercharges this by, after touching Zeke, instead grants Paradis Eldians the power to communicate through paths. This becomes a massive boost as he just gave Paradis Eldians and their allies internet (but allies need a proxy of course). This causes Paradis to rapidly advance enough that titans aren't a necessary threat. Eren can end the curse here without fear of Paradis being invaded without titans. Ymir will learn the power of friendship and be given her own voice, and have someone listen.

Just to spice things up, we learn that in the canon timeline, Eren sent a final message to himself in the past, a cry for help. A last ditch effort to change things. And it has some connection to Ymir's vision of an alternate past where she does not sacrifice herself for the king, and reveals that there can be fractures in the timeline and the way things are preordaned, if somewhere out there Ymir was able to diverge her own past.

There is an epic battle where Zeke is infused with other titan serums, eats Laura Tybur and becomes even bigger final form monke. He tries to eat Pieck too and Pieck doesn't like that of course. Basically, Marley fucks over it's own titans to hell and Zeke is complicit and whines about how Eldians shouldn't exist blah blah blah. Somewhere in the paths is the version of Eren that did wipe out humanity with The Rumbling, the one who made the original cry for help. Zeke makes a pact with him, but this Eren of course betrays him at the last moment like in canon. I'm sorry but the idea of Eren vs. Eren final battle is really cool.

What happens to Marley and with other nations is basically a lot of things coming to light, about the darkness within everyone, and even some atrocities that are blamed on Eldians to actually not be so. However Eldia was still an empire and yeah did a lot of bad shit too.

People might start to hate Marleyeans the way they did Eldians and year that will be a point of conflict. That can bring up the cycle of hatred theme and Paradis now has the capacity to stop the cycle.

Meanwhile, Paradis opens for tourism. Uses the "we are Eldian devils" thing as a gimmick for the morbidly curious. People leave with the worst thing seeing someone eat a potato at a socially inappropriate situation.

Meanwhile, Armin shoves the beauty of the outside world to Eren's face and makes him realize there is still what he wanted so badly out there. Hey, look open fields of grass with funny long-necked hooved animals, hey look, kitties, hey look, glaciers! Hey look, people from the other side of the world who never even heard of Eldians. The world he sought out, the world in that book is not dead, it still exists and it deserves to be protected. Armin can figuratively (and literally) grab Eren's hair and shove his face on the beauty and freedom of the world that still exists. He shoves Eren's face on a kitty's warm fur.

And it ends with Ymir somehow being freed at the end, ending the curse and the power of the Titans peacefully, right before Eren's time is up. Or maybe not. Maybe he dies and accompanies Ymir to the afterlife, content the future for Paradis is safe. Maybe some bullshit makes it so he was able to stretch his remaining years by becoming partially a being of the Paths and the physical world (he seems to do that in canon at the end, you know, existing outside his physical body a lot).

Heya! Since request is open, can I please have a headcannon and angst for America with an advance and perfect country!reader?(Romantic btw)

What a mean by that is that Country!reader has advance technology, like REALLY advance. Their technology is traced back hundreds of years ago and it's better then today's.

And the perfect part means that the land they rule is completely different from the other countries. Country!reader is strict and takes things seriously so when ruling crime barely happens,if you do something bad you actually get punished for it, students are not being disrespectful to teachers,etc.

While most country this days have crime going around everywhere corner, people who done horrible stuff like SA gets sentences like 2-3 years in prison ( or maybe no punishment at all)while people who doesn't deserve to be in prison get more than that( the justice system is unfair :( ), students are so disrespectful to the point where that insult their teacher or hit them,etc.

Country!reader is really secretive and not willing to share their tech because they think the others will not use it for the good and they don't interact with the others that much. Country!reader is disappointed with most of them especially America.

America probably hated country!reader from the beginning but started to have an attraction to them. Unfortunately for America it's gonna be unrequited.

Hope you have a good day/night and take care of yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

ʜᴀᴛᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴏᴠᴇ

✎ᝰ A/N: It's such a long query.... Oh well, what I wrote looked better in my head, but alas, something didn't work out. But I hope you enjoy it at least a little bit

✎ᝰ Cr art: villain-v (on lofter)

₊⊹ America has always tried to get information out of you about how you managed to achieve such technological breakthroughs and prosperity, because if he gets such information, it will naturally be to his advantage. Probably every country could understand that, including you. Well, you were not stupid, so you easily realized that America needed this information for a reason. That's why your relationship didn't work out.

₊⊹ Each time you let him know that you wouldn't tell him anything, but he was stubborn. He thought about how he could achieve the same result and tried to do it himself, but unfortunately nothing worked. Fortunately, he did not come to you every day and "torture" you.

₊⊹ Over time, however, the situation began to change slightly. Whenever possible, conversations increasingly turned to personal topics, avoiding political ones. And yet, despite this, your vigilance never wavered.

₊⊹ Thanks to that, you've started to get to know each other a little better. Maybe America isn't so bad after all. After all, he's fun to be with sometimes, even though sometimes he acts like a jerk. Well, you seemed more serious with him. You were like two opposites.

₊⊹ America eventually began to have romantic feelings for you. At first he tried to deny it. "Am I really in love with them?" - he kept saying to himself. Yes, he's not bad with you, he enjoys spending time with you, but that doesn't mean anything. Besides, he sensed your wariness towards him. But still, something made his heart beat faster.

₊⊹ When he decides to confess to you, and you respond with non-reciprocity, your refusal will probably be like a dagger plunged straight into his heart. He should have seen it coming, should have kept his feelings under control, but his heart, foolish and naive, didn't listen to reason. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it and could only accept it.

₊⊹ He will pretend that he is not in pain, which will naturally be a lie, but he will never show it to you. His gaze will remain firm and confident, his voice steady and calm. He will continue to joke, laugh, keep the conversation going as if nothing had happened.

it's yapping time: main characters whose whole personality is being smarter than everyone

I know this seems completely out of the blue, but I'm currently watching Ascendance of a Bookworm with my bf and I just keep thinking about them. The nerds. The geniuses, actually, that sometimes pop up in some anime and inspire equal amounts of love and hatred in me.

It's a complex topic because smart characters are rarely done well in anime to begin with. Death Note ends up falling apart towards the end, Classroom of the Elite is just kinda stupid and other anime nerds end up being perceived as smart only because everyone else near them is dumb as fuck. I'll not even get started on the Promised Neverland cause that thing still makes my blood boil.

So yeah, we don't have a nice track record there. But there are some nice examples, like Dr. Stone. I still have some nitpicks because of course I have, but all in all it's a solid anime that entertains you with a curious premise and cool execution. And the best thing? Senku is depicted as someone much more intelligent than everyone else not just because he's from a time more technologically advanced, but because he was already much more science-focused than the average in his own time.

He also works well in his context, and his friends' knowledge of modern inventions or lack thereof can be easily explained by the peculiarity of the story. After all, it does make sense if in a rustic post-apocalyptic village people didn't know of some medicines, a very specific knowledge, but knew other stuff because their ancestors managed to make it last through anecdotes.

But things get dicey when we are explained the context of Ascendance of a Bookworm. There are a lot of things bugging me in this anime, but one of the small details that bugs me the most is Myne's intelligence and knowledge. She was a normal girl that reincarnated in a kid's body in a fantasy world, so HOW IN ALL HEAVENS DOES SHE KNOW THE STUFF SHE KNOWS?

Okay, okay. I get that this isn't so far fetched, because I'm a girlie of many special interests too. Just like Myne, I love learning about the most random things, and I'm proficient in the hobbies I do even though I'm young. But what annoys me is, in addition to that, everyone around her never knows enough about life than her, or knows just enough to be a match to her. Cooking with sparse provisions? Myne does better even with ingredients she doesn't know. Manual work like making baskets and hairpins? Even with different materials she still does it better than other people. Bargaining with a merchant with a lot more experience than her? He's impressed by her skills.

And this here is the problem: you have to be REALLY naive to believe people didn't do all this shit in a medieval setting. Because if in real life we could do it, in a fantasy world with magic OF COURSE people would do all this stuff. Just because a world isn't that technological advanced, it doesn't mean people didn't do art, complex inventions and the like. And what irks me the most is that POOR PEOPLE ALSO DO ALL OF THIS. I'll even say that in terms of survival and using the most of materials, a medieval person would know better than the average modern person, because we live in a pretty wasteful society.

So yes, I think it was stupid that NOT A SINGLE WOMAN working with weaving knew how to make some flowers for a hair decoration. I think it's stupid how nobody thought of cleaning their hair with some soap, even though nobody likes to live filthy. I also think it's stupid that a poor family with limited resources wouldn't know many uses for each and every thing they get. It's just so weird and uncanny that every adult looks at Myne's inventions and balk as if they couldn't possibly have thought about it (also why doesn't anybody question that this is coming from a 5 year old? lol).

"But Yas", you might say, "this is a fictional world with a fictional character made for some low stakes intelligence power-fantasy, just like most isekai!" Sigh. You're right. I know. Truth is probably nobody cares about this stuff but me, and there's no reason they should, either. I guess it's just wishful thinking, in the end. I love the care and thought authors put in their work, and I also know smart characters CAN be done right, so it's just a shame that in anime it is so rarely done. But this applies to a lot of stuff, so it doesn't actually matter that much lol

In the end, this is just something that's been on my mind that I wanted to put out to the world, so don't be too hard on me, okay? I still appreciate Ascendance of a Bookworm despite its many flaws, and it doesn't mean people that love it are dumb!! I just love it when authors are also nitpicky like me lmao

I think I was just too hyped up and then disappointed by the story, as many people told me I would absolutely love this anime. Just shows how we can't trust blindly another's opinions, and it's best to see things completely and form opinions on your own.

#its yapping time!#ascendance of a bookworm #anime #dr stone #it makes me sad to bash a girlie like this #specially a book girlie like Myne #im sorry darling i swear i dont hate you they just did you dirty #yas reviews anime

Zarck Fic WIP taster <3

Hi y'all! Small update for my fic which will eventually be put up on AO3...

I'm almost finished with the plot outline!

And I've started writing the actual thing... Here's the first couple paragraphs as a taster:

Prologue (status: incomplete)

The Commander was sick of waiting and watching in silence.

Waiting on a solitary distant planet for upwards of five entire years, devoid of any other kind of social contact, had started to take its toll. Zarck had to give them at least a little bit of credit, as it took them years for that distress beacon to be activated, spewing out their signal to anyone who would listen and come to their aid. It definitely outlasted his prediction that his wayward team would barely last a year by themselves without getting killed, or even worse, tainting the Pupa’s evolution so severely that their mission would culminate in utter failure.

But he certainly hadn't expected the team to last that long. Yes, under the right care and proper attention, the Pupa should have only needed a year or two to mature and see the terraforming cycle to completion, but seeing as they hadn't wrecked it up in maybe six years he couldn't help but be intrigued by their pure dumb luck. That Korvo he had left "in charge" was truly never meant to be leader, Zarck often mused to pass the time, and if anything this utter failure even after so many years of denial (for surely it hadn't taken them all that time for the mission to fall apart, those stubborn, pigheaded adults must have put off sounding the alarm for a while), proved that Zarck had been exactly where he needed to be: in control.

The first two years of waiting had been his most difficult. He had waited, at first eagerly, to detect that distress beacon within the first six months, knowing very well the group did not have the skillset to take care of the Pupa without him- he hated being put with the most clumsy, naive set of Shlorpians on the homeworld to work alongside, but there was no fighting those who had made the decision to pair the team in such a way. After the first few years, counted with pebbles, sticks and scratch marks littered all over his tiny escape pod, he had begun to assume the team had already perished, none of them around to even sound the alarm, but he paid those dark possibilities no heed. After all, it was merely a What-If situation. No matter what, with the right quantum entanglement technology, this make-believe reality would cease to exist upon the press of a button, and everything would be restored to how it was supposed to be. No questions. No arguments.

Korvo’s reckless stupidity would prove his inability to be team leader, and he would surrender the position instantly back to Zarck as soon as he realised it was not all that easy as it was made out to be by their Commander.

Oh, how he longed to see the look on that idiot's face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hope you liked it! Please feel free to interact with this post to show your support <3 I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas and even any questions!

And as always, I hope you have a good day/night depending what time you're reading this at!

-WinterB

#solar opposites #tervo #commander zarck #zarck #korvo opposites #terry opposites #I'm so excited to see how this goes ngl #If this turns out anything like how I'm imagining it to be...#idc if the show makes this fic arbitrary this is my what-if ok

The importance of the cure and Joel's choice

If there's something I don't understand in the The Last of Us fandom, it's how some people manage to minimize the importance of the cure. I think some people don't realize how essential this is.

From the start of the first game, we learn that tests were carried out to find a vaccine and unfortunately failed. This may seem like a pointless information, but on the contrary, it shows exactly how humanity reacts after realizing the seriousness of the infection. They are looking for a solution and we know how important it is. We experienced it with covid 19 when the disease was spreading and no one took it seriously before thousands of people ended up in hospital and died. The magnitude was certainly not the same but we know that if covid 19 was a critical situation back then, the infection must be a completely different story. But unlike the game, we had a cure, several even, and they never had that chance.

People die, but the infection does much more than that. They go crazy, suffer excruciatingly and kill everything that moves. The disease spreads quickly and you have no physical means to prevent it other than killing people you thought you could save. Imagine seeing your loved ones go through all of this, being infected or killed by the infected. It's horrible. So imagine learning that despite all the efforts of every country in the world, despite all the technology and knowledge of humanity, no vaccine has been found and you are all doomed.

If no one succeeded before, many then gave up on the idea of a vaccine. Survival has become everyone's main concern and the world has become completely chaotic. There is only one group that has maintained the idea of a cure and that is the fireflies. They are ready to do anything for this, even to go to extremes. They seem naive but deep down they are only desperate people who want only one thing, for all this to stop and go back to the way it was before. In 20 years they found nothing so imagine how they must have felt when Ellie arrived. She represents everything for what they fought for, what they suffered so much for. Ellie's immunity is their last hope for a cure.

Generations could be saved just by that. Thousands of deaths and so much suffering could be avoided. Fireflies aren't evil for wanting that. Their way of doing things is questionable but we are talking about a world where morality is defective and does not allow you to survive. Yes, they should have asked Ellie and given her a choice in this matter but, the cure is so important that they couldn't risk her refusing and resisting. Even if Ellie was going to say yes, they couldn't know and what is one child's life worth to thousands of others ?

The choice between saving Ellie or the world is an impossible choice. Even if we think we can make this choice, we can't. Some people try to find justifications and say that one of the two choices is better. For example, this whole story explaining that the cure wouldn't have worked anyway and that Joel did the right thing to stop them. Even if in real life the operation would not have worked, we must not forget that it is fiction and that in the game, it would have worked if Joel had not intervened. They would have had a cure if the operation could have taken place.

What Joel did, even for Ellie, was horrible. It was a selfish act EVEN if we understand why he did it. After all, it's so much easier to be in the shoes of someone who never knew Ellie, who doesn't know who she is. Sacrificing a stranger for the world and your loved ones is what anyone would have done. But Ellie is no stranger to Joel (or to us) and he couldn't let other people kill her. However, we can't blame the Doctor or anyone else for wanting to sacrifice Ellie. There are no good moral solutions but from a rational point of view we know what would have been better.

In Joel's place we would have saved Ellie and in the whole world's place we would have sacrificed her. No matter what action we might have chosen, none of us would have been a bad person in itself. But the impact of our decision affects the whole world and in return, the world will see us as a good or a bad person. These are just the repercussions of our actions.

I think Joel was aware of this horrible thing he did but he accepted it because for him nothing else matters except Ellie. Just like Ellie does, I love Joel but I also blame him for his actions. This is why Joel's death is not surprising. It was only a matter of time before someone found him and made him pay. Whether it's Abby or anyone else, they all have reasons to want to kill him. After all he represents the second condemnation of humanity.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Thanks if you read to the end! I really tried to explain my thoughts as best as I could so I hope it's clear

#the last of us #tlou2 #tlou #the last of us part 2 #joel miller #joel tlou #ellie the last of us #ellie williams #ellie tlou

Hey y’all!! It’s time to introduce templetale and it’s characters!!

To start; the au templetale was set on the surface. It’s an au where monsters and humans lived together within a large forest surrounded by a barrier. And of course after the crash, they joined the rest of the AUs.

In templetale, monsters and humans worked together thousands of years ago to put up a barrier around their forest to protect themselves. It’s been long forgotten what exactly was the enemy they were shutting out, but nowadays, the barrier serves as more of a symbol of their dedication to their ancestors the fae

This au has the most complete history of any of the others. They still have old records of a time before the wars where other races lived with monsters and humans. Many believe these are just myths though and take it with a grain of salt.

After the crash, most temple monsters simply just mixed in with every one else. They don’t really stand out magic wise unless they’re one of the monks or a dedicated follower to who took the pact of peace. These monsters (and mages) only develop magic that can help others, any magic that can cause harm is shunned.

The temple grounds now consists of the monks who maintain it, the library staff, and the permanent guards stationed to protect the staff and records. The grounds are surrounded by a barrier maintained by the monks. It’s said to be powered by the same runes that made the barrier of their old forest, recreated by the Drake monsters. People and things can pass through a front and back entrance easily, as long as they show their IDs to the guards

Now let’s meet the characters!

Zen (templetale sans)

Zen is a smaller skeleton monster at only 5 feet tall. He’s 44 years old and has pebble grey magic. His ecto is smooth and soft, but not real chubby.

Zen is a calm, gentle and kind fellow. He’s not shy but can come across as distant being a monster of few words. He’s affectionate with his friends and family, and doesn’t really have much of a sense of danger or survival from coming from such a peaceful au. This tends to lead him into lots of trouble to his brothers horror. Zen is very much technologically illiterate and struggles to learn how to use modern devices, but he’s wonderful at anything nature related.

Zen is a temple worker and monk in the national library, and barrier grounds. His job is a mix of grounds keeping, giving tours, giving sermons, and farming. He’s one of the few monsters left who speaks and reads the old languages fluently, so he’s tasked with translating as well when it’s needed

His special ability is a heightened sense of touch. When he holds onto people, he can tell things about them that normally other senses do; like what they had for dinner, if they have health issues, or what mood they’re in.

As a monk, he was never taught to create magical attacks, instead he has made a pact of peace. His only magic skills are picking things up, soul checks and healing

Hobbies: gardening, birdwatching, playing the lute fiddle and harp, scrapbooking, and swimming

Loved items: the color bronze, honey glazed pears and apples, mead, instruments, new sheet music, forest birds, bird feeders, the text of mother magic

Shield (templetale papyrus)

Shield is a skeleton monster aged 39 years old and standing at 6’1 feet tall. He has a dark moss green magic and a cute tooth gap. His ecto is lean muscle like a runners build

Shield has a lot of energy held back behind a carefully trained sense of self control. He comes across as stoic and dedicated when you first meet him. And he is, on the job that is. When shield isn’t on duty, he’s playful, bouncy and just a real sweetheart. Some think he’s naive like the other temple monsters, but that’s not the case. His time in the guard has taught him to keep watch for others intentions. He’s not so easily tricked.

Shield had been set to train as a monk before the crash, but when the royal guard was reformed, he jumped at the chance to join. He’s now stationed at the library and barrier grounds as security. He works closely with the drakefell guild and the other guards to keep the records safe.

His special ability is rapid growth. He’s unique in that he got the vine growing abilities of his petal monster mom, but without any vines on his body to use it, instead the roots of any plants around him are affected. Roots will grow to massive sizes for him at will, and shrink as well.

His magic weapon is a handsome shield made of bone. It’s spiked on one side and is painful to crash into. It’s how he got his nickname

Hobbies: sparring, swimming, social drinking, first person shooter games, parties, shooting ranges, gardening and entertaining kids

Loved items: the color royal purple, craft beers, small kids, nachos, the halo series, cool misshapen gourds and gourd art, patriotic tshirts

Side characters

Shrine: templetale gaster, a rather bubbly monk at the temple grounds, a real sweetie. Every one thinks he’s younger than he actually is. He’s a skilled musician and plays the ambient music inside the library’s main hall

Daylily: a lily-like petal monster and the soulmate of shrine. Daylily (or Lily for short) is also a monk on the temple grounds and is one of the main garden keepers. She’s a gentle and warm soul, well to those who don’t flirt with shrine that is.

PERSONALITY

audrey's personality is a bit of a hodgepodge, and she herself is a little bit of a contradiction. at heart, audrey is funny and sarcastic in the right amounts. she cares deeply about many things, and people. she worries about and cares for just about everyone, and rarely has a bad word to say about anyone. she is laid-back, a little bit naive, and very smart. even still, she considers herself to be an introvert. social interactions take a lot out of her, and at times she can come across as a bit of a bitch. within herself she is shy, and struggles heavily with anxiety. she has been diagnosed with both that and depression, and sometimes withdraws for hours or days to recharge her batteries. she is very empathic as well.

WRITTEN BY: Laine (she/her), est.

BACKGROUND / BIO

triggering / sensitive content: cancer, cancer scare, death, parental death, depression, illness.

audrey danyell mathis was born in charleston, sc to her parents, james michael mathis and irene audrey barnes-mathis. her mother was an elementary school art teacher, while her father was an executive at a high-powered law firm. for the first 10 years of her life, audrey lived in what many would have considered the lap of luxury. She attended the best schools, wore the best clothes, always had the latest technology, and lived in a home within a gated community.

when audrey was 9, her mother encountered a health scare- possible cancer. while she was thankfully in the clear, the brush with the diagnosis left her parents in a more awakened state than they had ever been. realizing just how many years of their lives they'd let slip away focused too much on work, they made the decision to sell everything they owned in favor of pursuing a simpler life. this decision landed them in merrock, where audrey's parents pursued their dream of opening a bookstore. thus, bookends was born.

the mathis family lived happily in merrock for many years, until irene's health scare popped up again...this time, as more than a scare. unfortunately, things declined rapidly. by the time audrey was 14, her mother had passed. losing irene was an incredible blow to both the family and the community.

james did his best to maintain the business as well as to ensure he gave audrey the time and attention she needed, but losing his wife proved to be far too much. the loss of his beloved sent james into a depressive spiral- one he never really came out of. it wasn't long before audrey had to finish growing up completely, now taking over her mother's duties in the home and in their family. she fell into a routine with her father- one that was distant and succinct- suddenly it felt as though everything she'd ever known was ripped from under her.

after graduating high school, audrey chose to attend the well-known university a few towns over, taking primarily online classes so that she could remain close to her father and at home. majoring in english education, audrey graduated a semester early and in the top 5% of her class. despite her promise, she remained exactly where she was- living with her father, helping to manage their lives and the bookstore.

when audrey was 22, her father james fell (seemingly inexplicably) ill. after caring for him for nearly a year solid, audrey lost him too. since, she has remained in the home she's lived in since the age of 10, continuing to go through the motions as she attempts to move forward. she is very active in the community, though often keeps more to herself than anything

sorry if this question upsets you because you've answered it a lot, but is mary a child/teen on Blackout Hospital? i supposed she was young because of the game console thing and her naiveness, though its part of her personality i feel like she's a minor in this game

No. Mary is not a child. Mary is not a teenager. Mary is not a minor. Mary is an adult woman.

I don't mean to sound harsh, or mean, or cruel, but I am quite frankly sick of getting this question and people's inability to see Mary as an adult. I don't think you are trying to "bait" me into getting worked up or something, but because this happens often enough, I need to say something about it.

Mary's appearance should not be an excuse as to why people see her as a child. She's essentially the same height as Twyla in Cemetery Mary, but not one person has ever came to me saying they suspected Twyla of being a teenager? Or a child? Or a minor? Is that not weird, when they look so similar?

In Blackout Hospital, Mary is shown to be around the same stature as other adult characters. Yes, she is a short person. A petite person! But there's plenty of adults who are petite too--do you call anyone you see under 5'5" a child?

(Images presented for comparison)

I think some people also conceive the notion in their heads that Mary is younger due to having a flatter chest than some of her other female/feminine peers. I, however, find this to be pretty ridiculous for a few reasons.

One, is because it is completely natural for people to have different body types. There are teenagers who have big chests. There are adult women who have small or even flat chests.

Two, because as I have openly stated in the past--Mary is designed with the potential to be interpreted as a cis or trans girl. If one were to read Mary as being a transgirl, it would also make sense for her to not have much of a chest.

I think using Mary's personality as a reason to read her as young is...well, in the most polite way I can possibly say this...I think it's bullshit. Because I notice this trend happen across hundreds of characters and now it's happening with mine.

Characters who are mean are perceived as older, more mature. Characters who are nice are perceived as stupid, and younger. Twyla and Mary are around the same height and have nearly identical figures, but because Twyla is mean no one spares her a second glance and because Mary is nice everyone accuses her of being a child. (Even with characters who aren't Mary this happens. Dr. D. Light is often portrayed as stupid or gullible or idiotic when he's...literally a certified doctor? He isn't stupid--he's just nice.) Similarly, it's interesting to me how when Reginald doesn't understand a piece of technology he's often viewed as older, but when Mary doesn't, she's viewed as younger? Why is that?

And, because this has recently been confirmed as part of Mary's canon, I ESPECIALLY do not like Mary being accused of being a child/minor when Mary is autistic.

The infantilization of autistic adults is a real issue, and there's plenty of articles and conversations on the topic. I don't necessarily want to start a whole new conversation about that here, but I will say that because of it, it really does rub me quite the wrong way when people accuse Mary's personality or mentality as being that of a child. I often wonder how many traits Mary displays that people see as "being that of a child" when they're really just "traits associated with autism".

But I think a big flaming gun in this whole argument is that no one in these universes where Mary exists treats her like a child or a teenager. When Mary meets Twyla in Cemetery Mary she describes her as looking college-aged AND also around her age. No one brings up any objection as to why Mary would be allowed in a bar that serves alcohol. No one ever brings up the idea of Mary currently being enrolled in a highschool(Except in a game like Here For Sweethearts, where she is a highschooler just like EVERYONE ELSE). No one brings up an age difference when it seems like Mary and Reginald could be romantically involved in CM. Twyla accuses Mary multiple times of dating Reginald in CM without mentioning any difference they could have in age or why it would be inappropriate if they were dating. When *slight Blackout Hospital spoilers, I'm sorry!* Hyllindrix sees Mary wearing a wedding ring, he asks her if she is married without any sort of mention that she would be a child bride or something similar. Reginald has line in Blackout Hospital where he refers to her as being a woman. Vasilis, a clearly established adult with a job, says things to Mary like "These have been around since WE were kids".

And part of the reason receiving asks or comments like these makes me so mad is because it always feels like you guys are trying to accuse me of something. Like you are covertly trying to catch me in a "gotcha!" moment where I'll admit Mary isn't actually an adult or something, so you can frame the relationships Mary has with other people as being something predatory and gross and "expose" me as someone who is okay with that kind of content. And that makes me really sad to be viewed as someone who would portray that kind of stuff as OK in my work.

Mary Anta is an adult woman. I have never treated her like she is not. None of her in-universe friends have treated her like she is not. And I think that is what I want people to take away from this. If YOU view Mary as a child, a teenager, a minor, when she clearly is not then that is on YOU. I am not the one infantilizing Mary. You are.

#mary #mary anta #what do i tag this as? a rant? important?#i just hope I can staple it to my head the next time someone accuses Mary of being a minor #the implications there are always gross and unappreciated #and i promise you there are plenty of real life young adults who look and/or act like mary #doesn't make them children either #ask #reply #important #rant

Levi and Armin’s intelligence, and how they relate:

I think the four most intelligent characters in Attack on Titan are, in no particular order, Erwin, Hange, Armin, and Levi. I know some might dispute Levi being on this list, but I’ll explain why I think so as I go through each of their unique, intellectual abilities. I want particularly to focus on how Armin’s and Levi’s respective intelligence’ relates to one another too.

Erwin is obviously the most strategically brilliant and visionary character in SnK. His ability to assess situations and know the right and necessary moves to make in order to advance is unparalleled, as is his ability to see the benefits beyond tangible, achievable goals. He also knows better than anyone what needs to be said in order to spur people on into action, to get them to commit and act, even when it goes against their own survival instinct. He knows what it is that appeals to people in terms of finding meaning in their lives.

Hange is clearly the most scientifically intelligent character in the story, and the SC’s success was directly bound up in Hange’s ability to think outside of the immediate, knee-jerk reaction of horror at the titans that most had, with their desire to better understand them and what they were. It’s Hange who first considers with seriousness that the titans are human, and that completely changes the way the SC approaches the problem of them. Also their ability to think up and develop new technology is what allowed the SC to fight back against the Armored Titan, and to later have as much success as they did in their attack on Liberio.

Armin’s intelligence lies in, I think, his wisdom. Yes, he’s also very strategically brilliant, most especially when it comes to putting two and two together, and working out what’s going on beyond the apparent surface. But his true strength lies in the fact that he isn’t deluded about the harsh, ugly reality of the world, he fully accepts it, and yet even in that understanding and acceptance, he still finds meaning and reason in living, still finds beauty in life and its small, precious moments. He isn’t naively optimistic, he’s just optimistic, because of that wisdom, in understanding you don’t need some grand purpose or meaning in your life to make your life worthwhile.

And that leads directly into Levi’s intelligence. Where Armin’s intelligence is in his wisdom, Levi is probably the series’ most emotionally intelligent character. He understands people, and human nature, more than any other character in the series. That’s part of why he’s so compassionate and kind, because he understands and is able to empathize with what other people are thinking and feeling, which is a large part of the reason he made the choice he did in Shinganshina, choosing to revive Armin over Erwin. Because Levi recognized that wisdom and unique ability in Armin. That Armin understood and accepted the harsh reality of the world, that he accepted, while talking with Eren and Mikasa, that they could never go back to a better, more innocent time like before the titans broke through the walls, yet still he maintained an innocent ability to appreciate life and find beauty and meaning in it, to find something worth living for in something even as simple as seeing the ocean. It was that kind of hope that humanity needed in order to continue on and have a fighting chance at a real future. Not a hope based in ignorance or naivety, but a hope based in accepting the cruelty of life, but still finding it worth while anyway.

This in many ways parallels Levi’s own view of the world and of life. Levi also understands and accepts the harsh reality of things, understands that violence and war and cruelty are a part of the human condition, that life itself is predicated on violence and death, but he’s still, despite this understanding and acceptance, able to believe that life is precious and worth fighting for. Maybe directly because he understands how fragile it is, how quickly and easily it can be taken away. It makes him the opposite of a nihilist, just like Armin. The both of them don’t shy away from or deny the darker aspects of the human condition, but neither do they allow that acknowledgement and acceptance to sully their belief in the value of life.

We see Levi’s emotional intelligence manifest directly as his compassion and empathy, in how keenly aware he is of the emotions of others. It shows in him knowing when those around him need a break, when they could do with an expression of gratitude, when they need support or encouragement, or some kind of comfort. And that’s what really makes Levi humanities strongest soldier, and why his comrades believe in and trust in him as much as they do. They know that he’ll carry on shouldering the burden of their hopes and dreams, no matter what, because he understands those hopes and dreams, because he understands them and what they were fighting for.

Bad fighter Mobius M. Mobius is the best kind of Mobius M. Mobius, Actually.

I already loved Mobius more than most of the MCU characters before episode 6 came out, but THAT scene in Ravonna´s Office was really game changer for me. Until then I was actually sure, that this man is a great fighter. Because HOW THE FUCK COULD HE NOT BE, RIGHT? I mean...

he looks so sure of himself, He´s going on those missions with trained hunters all the time, he´s fearless! And then Ravonna says: “even with that, you´re of no danger to me” And I was like: Ha! keep dreaming girl He´ll show you! And Mobius was like: “Is that what you think? Let´s see..” And I was like: Yeeees that´s my boyyyyy!!!”

And then Ravonna was like...

Mobius in the air in like a split of second. And I was like

But Mobius freaking smiled and was like: “Yeah you were right”

ok. OK. HE´S MY FUCKING FAVOURITE NOW. THERE IS NO ONE BETTER THEN HIM SORRY. Suddenly I was lost. I was blown away. It was HE BETTER STAYS IN MCU FOREVER OR I WILL SCREAM type of feeling. So let me get this straight. He can´t fight. He probably knows that he is not a good fighter, and he... HOLY SHIT. THE WHOLE SERIES IS SO MUCH BETTER!!! .... As much as I love the idea of strong Mobius with long hair and daggers, looking for Loki through entire universe… I´m not sure, if I really want to see that in canon. I just love this cute and non-combatant version of Mobius too much, I´m sorry! Let me explain my weird brain please: we have lots of strong heroes in MCU – those who are great fighters, or those who had to learn how to fight. The one thing I always loved about Iron man was the fact, that he really needed his brilliant brain, his technology (suit) and bravery to fight. And in the end he was the hero who saved them all. I mean… yeah. There are side-kicks, like Happy Hogan, or Luis (Ant man´s best friend) and I LOVE them! But none of them has got as much screen time and importance, as Mobius. When I think about what I love so much about him and his dynamic with Loki, there is always this one thing that prevails: one of them is an incredibly strong but also very careful god (not when he´s drunk though) who uses a lots of strategies and plans, while the other is a tiny man in a suit who can´t fight shit but runs into the throat of a danger every chance he get and no one can´t stop him. just look at him!!!

He goes on missions with these trained hunters to just look around for clues and has no concerns about potentional harm whatsoever.

And he even finds the time to stand up for normal people and be kind to them in the process:

Once Loki has no collar, on his neck he could break all Mobius´s limbs in a matter of seconds if he wanted to, but Mobius is completely sure he has nothing to worry about around his Loki. He´s not scared of ANYTHING, especially of Loki variants. Like EVER! :D

let me break it down in detail for ya. I made a list: When they are taking Loki on his first mission outside, Loki asks, if no one is concerned that he is going to has his magic back...

well, maybe someone actually is concerned by that but it sure as hell isn´t Mobius. He just simply says that he could get Loki to Time keepers if he won´t try anything and like... this one line is getting on Loki so much, that Loki even tries to use it few moments latter xD And here is the best scene ever:

LOKI: “we can go anywhere!”

MOBIUS: “I´m not taking you for a stroll along the promenade, much less an apocalypse” FEW MOMENTS LATTER:

Hang on. Wait. So you telling me, he took this man outside without permission, without backup (you know, hunters, that actually CAN fight), right to the apocalypse, knowing that Loki can use his powers anytime, however he wants. It´s just... God. I love him!!! And then he just hands him the daggers like it´s no big deal!

Like are we all aware this man has no any super powers, no big strength, nor any impressive fighting skills and he is willing to give him daggers for a mission, where this god is capable of magic and everyone else in team ECCEPT mobius is at least able to fight????? And he just has that small bulletproof vest, and a raincoat and he chats with Loki in a rain like it was a fucking another apocalyptic DATE?

Ok. Let´s jump to the episode four He goes and persuades Ravonna to let him interrogate Sylvie and he is straight up arguing with her, even when he´s told how dangerous Sylvie is. This man LOVES danger!!!

Once he has doubts he decides to risk it all and swaps TemPads right behind Ravonnas back.

And he is watching it OUT LOUD in a place where anyone can show up at anytime!

no but serously. This is a face of a man who is EXCITED for a dangerous adventures with Loki. Yeah, lets bring this whole place down together!

And then we have this scene. Mobius really has a nerves to pull “ ha ha I had to take it by mistake” line right there.

But once he understand he´s gonna die, he just take his fate with bravery and talks to Ravonna about life he really desires.

And remember that time Ravonna warned him about this variant and how dangerous she is? He casually saves her, just like that. No big deal.

He even has a time to make teasing notes about how Sylvie should be more careful jumping to a strangers car like that and how she really is one of the Lokis.

And after he saves her, he manage to apologize to her and make her to like him. EVERY FREAKING LOKI LIKES HIM! - that has to be his super power I swear And then Sylvie is like: well actually let´s go back there, I think It´s the best idea ever. And mobius is like: What back to the angry cloud? - oh great. fuck this why the hell not. Lets do it.

so... while Loki and Sylvie are getting closer, lets show us, how literally every Loki likes Mobius (like not even alligator loki wants to hurt him, even when Mobius suggests that he is a liar I CAN´T) And just random (AGAIN) during the chat saving Loki and Sylvie (without even knowing) when he inspires Classic Loki to change.

He offers free tickets straght to the TVA to kid Loki, classic Loki and an alligator. I mean... What a LEGEND.

when he gets there he just knock on Ravonna´s door and is like - lets talk about it xDD

And he isn´t even suprised to lose that fight. He makes himself comfortable on the floor: yeah you were right. Here we go again. Just prune me already, doesn´t matter, I have my Lokis there anyway.

But make no mistake, I don´t think he is stupid, or naive. That is the most fascinating thing about him. He is brilliant. He can makes great plans (it surely as hell was him, who come up with the high school scheme) He is a great investigator, he is familiar with psychology very well, he know how to manipulate people just as well, as Loki. He can interrogate flawlessly (when jealousy is not involved) And when he woke up in the Void, he was able to escape certain death, choose a car and drive around looking for Loki - and eventualy save Sylvie. He is a very capable man. I dont think he shouldn´t have any power. Like - he has his inteligence, his knowledge of all languages (I want to see him chat with Groot please), his knowledge of psychology, knowledge of how TVA works... He can have his pruning stick, TemPad, bulletproof vest and a raincoat for what I care. but most importantly he has his kind heart, love of adrenaline, and he is a freaking Loki expert. And let´s not forget, every Loki loves him. Also, he has a damn luck as well :D It´s like - Loki always ends up loosing, so Mobius is fine - even when he should be dead about million times already. (one man´s void is another man´s piece of cake) So when they are togheter. There is no way for Loki to actually die. Not by his side xD So I don´t think he needs to become great fighter. I believe, that this is a hundred times better. Creators should explore this dynamic to it´s bottom before they make him fighter with super powers or something like that. ( I wouldn´t mind long hair though) I´m sorry. But I just really love that. I love how small and fragile he is, but he wont be scared of anything. And now he´s Loki best friend (while having masive crush on him, let's be precise ) So just imagine all those amazing scenes that could come with that. Imagine there is some very dangerous Loki variant that everyone has problem to deal with, and Mobius is gonna be like - you´re so cute guys, nice try. Now let me talk to him, will ya. Imagine some big battle where our Loki and Mobius are fighting side by side with Avengers and Loki is using all his potential, and he is so stunning in his leather but he can´t focus very well, because few metters from him is a small, fragile man in a suit just using TemPad an afucking pruning stick. And Loki didn´t even want him there in the first place. So they are arguing like married couple right then and there and every avenger AND enemy in close distance just can´t believe these two are real. also Loki saves Mobius by taking him in his arms right on time and running to safety with him

Maybe this post is completely useless and has incredibly bad english like every text I write, but I don´t care. I just wanted to loudly appreciate this mans non-fighting skills and his hilariously huge courage. End of the post. have nice day! Bye!

Sweet and Spicy

Vision x F!Reader / Loki x F!Reader

Summary: Vision and Loki as your Sugar Daddy Headcanons

Warnings: some fluff, some tension, nothing dark—for now.

It has become obvious that I cannot get enough of these two. I mean, how can you not? They’re both perfect. I dunno if I did this headcanon thing right but I still hope y’all enjoy 💚

Vision

Protector and provider. That’s Vision’s thing.

As a protector, if someone even accidentally bumps into you at the mall, he’d immediately scowl and move to wrap a protective arm around you, keeping you close and away from anyone else.

Even from the weather, he's keep you safe. Draping his coat over your shoulders while you both stroll at the farmer’s market one cold evening.

His warm hands would cup your face while his blue eyes shine against the moonlight and how you would swoon when he kisses you softly, completely taking your breath away.

As a provider, he'd make it a point to give you everything, even if you never asked for it. That you’d become cautious talking about things you need or want after he bought you the lasted flagship phone.

You tried to reject it, telling him that he doesn’t need to spend such an amount on you. That your phone was still working, just really slow.

He took out the sim card and threw the device in the bin after grabbing it from you. “There, now you can use the new one.” The smile doesn’t reach his eyes and you already know that he won’t take no for an answer.

You take the device and look at it, facing him when he pinches your chin and tilts your head back.

“What do we say when we receive a gift?” He’d say as if you were a child.

You swallow thickly and give him a small smile, one you think will satisfy him. “Thank you, Daddy.”

“Good girl.”

Loki

Loki is also a provider. Gifting you the most lavish clothes you never even imagined purchasing.

“I deserve the best.” He’d say with arrogance. “And how can I have the best when you keep dressing in rags?”

“I’m sorry, Daddy. I’ll do better.” You’d tell him.

But he’d only scowl and continue to throw dress after dress at the poor sales lady, anger and regret evident on her face as she follows Loki through the boutique.

You want to believe that he means well, that he simply wants to give you the best things. But his words always drive a knife to your heart, doubts filling your head that he does it because he can’t have you looking plain beside the regality that he adorns himself in.

Though sometimes, he'd prove himself to you.

And you love the sweet side he shows you, although scarce.

Dining you in the fanciest of places, a bouquet at the ready, and the way he looks at you when he greets you with a kiss makes you feel like he will grab the moon from the sky and lay it at your feet.

“You deserve the world, Darling.” He’d tell you while he holds your hand, slow dancing to the quartet he’s hired for the evening.

Vision and Loki

It makes you realize just how alike both men are.

Sweet and affectionate yet hiding a darker side within.

It baffles you that despite their difference in appearance; where Vision is blonde with brilliant sapphires, Loki’s hair is as dark as the night, emeralds glinting against the light, you sometimes cannot tell them apart.

Best friends since they were kids.

Two adopted boys who were treated as outcasts by the society they grew up in and thrived on the love that their adoptive mothers gave. And seeing the women as their savior.

They found a companion in each other.

They once told you that they shared everything as you sat between them on your couch, entertaining you with their childhood tales. The first time you invited them in your apartment.

They share a love for books and learning. Constantly teaching each other everything and anything their mind latches onto. That Loki grew fond of science and technology and Vision found politics quite amusing.

You were naive then, thinking that the best friends wanted to simply spend some time with you. Someone they were constantly fond of.

You were only seeing Vision that time and he’d invited Loki to tag along.

They were so close, their thighs brushing against each of yours as they talked about the past.

You breath then hitched when Loki placed a hand on your thigh, making you lean against Vision who wraps an arm around your shoulders, stopping you from moving away.

“So it’s only natural, Darling—” Loki droned, his face inching closer to yours.

And Vision continued, his voice low and sultry against your ear. “—that we share you.”

Rise of the tmnt has some of the best characterization that I've ever seen. I have some plot related criticism (which becomes unimportant given the target audience of the show, you know children don't notice plot holes lmao) but I can analyze the characters much more than any big shot Marvel or Disney movie I've seen.

So here we go (remember this is my own free interpretation and analysis, I am well aware that I might get things wrong):

Each of them are smart in some ways but dumb in others:

Donnie: academically smart, technology genius, very hard working, determined, passionate but has a hard time understanding emotions (which doesn't necessarily prevent him from being considerate though)

Raph: common sense smart, responsible, experienced ("Do not eat THE POISON!"), but he's bad at strategizing (his plans are kinda bad lmao) and he can't keep his cool under pressure sometimes

Mikey: emotions and feelings smart (heck, even Dr. Delicate Touch gets the job done when he wants to take care of a situation) but completely lacks common sense (this may be due to him being younger than the others though)

Leo: he's plain smart. He's really good at strategizing, tricking people, he knows the right thing to say to people at the right time, he can keep his cool under pressure, BUT he's lazy and inconsiderate at times. Also very academically dumb (like come on who doesn't know what "nigh" means lol)

I could make an allignmennt chart out of this. And a circle:

Leo can do what Raph can't (strategy), Raph can do what Mikey can't (common sense), Mikey can do what Donnie can't (empathy) and Donnie can do what Leo can't (working hard).

[One note about Leo and Donnie: it's so on point that Leo is lazy because achieving things come very easy and natural for him, thanks to his social skills and quick thinking, while Donnie has to work hard by making machines (I mean for him it's actually easy and fun but it's still a lot of work) and using creativity to invent new things that can help him through everyday life. Both of these ways of living are effective though very different. In their case, one can't do the other. Now it's not like Leo and the others never work hard, but Donnie is on an exceptional level so that's more of his thing, just like everyone else is on an exceptional level on their own thing.]

And that's why they're 1) the perfect team because they complete each other 2) the perfect cast of characters because every viewer (mostly teens of course) can relate to at least one of them (if not all of them)

There's also some parallels and things in common with all the characters too (they are brothers after all) even if it's for completely different reasons:

Donnie and Leo both have high self esteem (most of the time), which sometimes develops into arrogance and self centered behavior, but mostly because they're actually hiding insecurity

Mikey and Raph are both very considerate of others and are always concerned about everyone (even though Raph is like that because of his morals, he feels like it's his "duty", while Mikey is just a spread love kinda guy lmao) and naive

Both Raph and Donnie are well aware of their responsibilities (Raph saved Leo and Donnie shielded Mikey in the film)

Mikey and Leo are both good at socializing

Leo and Raph are both leaders (Raph more as a caretaker while Leo more as a guide) who occasionally don't trust their fellow team members and take burdens all on their own (just look at the entire plot of the movie lol)

Mikey and Donnie are very different, I can't remember anything they have in common at the moment but maybe that's just me

Lastly, it's so great and well written how everyone changes across the show:

Raph learns to trust his brothers more and to not take burdens all on his own (the season two finale was all about that)

Leo learns to be more trustworthy, less arrogant, and more responsible as he does things prepared to face the consequences in the end (mainly in the movie, in the show he doesn't have a lot of character development)

Donnie learns to accept and be open minded about others even if he can't fully understand them (he realizes that he can't "fix" his siblings, but he actually needs them for who they are) and he also learns that others do the same for him (that time April told him something like "we don't like you because of your tech, we like you because of you" had me sobbing)

Mikey becomes generally more competent, mainly in fighting? Cause he can throw entire cruise ships and buildings? I can't really think of more deeper character development, he's the nicest loving ray of sunshine ever even though he can be harsh if necessary, he's a pretty balanced guy that's all. But maybe I missed something I dunno

I can really do some high school literature homework level analysis lmao this show is amazing

#rottmnt #rise of teenage mutant ninja turtles #three weeks ago I wouldn't ever have thought that I could make a whole essay of freaking ninja turtles but here we are #I am a sucker for good writing #even more if I don't expect it #april and splinter are also incredibly well written but I got lazy so I did only the turtles #maybe some other time #long post

How the dorm leaders react when they catch you kissing someone from their dorm [Part 2]

A/N: AND HERE IT IS! Oh my god I still can't believe I managed to get this done! I actually stayed on task! Honestly these three were probably my favourite from the original post, I've had far too much fun writing these bois.

And what can I say? Playfully flirty MC is a good MC u wu

Warnings: Heavy smooching, possessive talk, and the reader just really pushing the dorm leader's buttons~

Part 1 here!

“How dare you...?”

Vil was more than happy to be coming back to Pomefiore with all the stuff that had happened today. Classes were more annoying than usual, he had to chase Leona down to tell him to get his work done and there had been some problems in the modeling studio that caused the lights to be brighter than usual and now he had a headache that only a nap could fix.

Thing was, if he wanted to keep his schedule as tight as possible he would need to stay awake for...another 6 hours.

One good thing was waiting for him though. Rook had greeted him at the entrance and let him know that the Ramshackle prefect was in the dorm today as per his request.

Good.

This would keep him awake. He remembers promising you a lesson in proper skincare in order to remedy whatever you did once you woke up in the morning. Deep in the back of his head he remembers you telling him that you just splash cold water on your face but he preferred to think that you at least put some sort of moisturizer. Maybe.

He rushes to his room to freshen up and makes sure that he has the materials he needs. Vil had decided that his own brand of face cleansing products would be a good start for your skin. The tingles in his fingertips went ignored as he thought of you thinking about him in the morning. It wasn’t that sort of thing at all, he reminded himself. Dorm leaders were supposed to help each other out, despite how often they were at each other’s throats, and he was just fulfilling his role not just as a dorm leader but as a...friend.

Vil takes one last look at the mirror and makes his way down the row of rooms in Pomefiore to reach the Lounge, only to stop when he sees you being pulled into one of the many rooms by what was clearly a Pomefiore’s students hand.

Wait what?

It’s almost alarming how quickly he approaches the door and puts his foot in it, choosing to stay quiet as he sees that the two people in the room didn’t even bother to wonder why the door hadn’t closed all the way. The student was pressing kisses against your lips in small intervals, choosing instead to talk as you run your hands up the expensive purple robe and taking in the little designs.

“I had a new lip scrub I wanted you to try out.”

“Really? Then why aren’t we in the bathroom?"

“That’s rather forward for a dorm leader. Is everyone in Ramshackle this daring?”

Vil couldn’t even pinpoint the student’s name. That was your first offense. The only thing he remembers about him is the man’s caramel brown hair and how it contrasted beautifully against his dark skin. After that, nothing could pop into his head that would make that student even remotely interesting for you to be hanging off of him like that! Of all the people to be with, it just had to be a nameless potato, didn’t it?

The hairs at the back of his head stand up as the potato hands you what he believes to be the best lip scrub in the business, which only makes the alarms in Vil’s head go off even louder. That brand wasn’t even known for doing lip scrubs! In fact, they once put out a three in one shampoo/conditioner and the fact that the student even had that brand in the dorms and you just blatantly accepting it was your second offense.

And as much as he wanted to focus on that being the thing that truly bothered him, he felt the alarms deafening him as he saw the potato’s hands wrap around your waist as he kissed you again, your lips parting to let him inside.

He shouldn’t be looking at this, he should be leaving and just leave you to your own devices. The lesson wasn’t important, you weren’t that important to him--

Amethyst eyes widen when you tilt your head as the student starts kissing down your neck, already choosing one spot to make his own as he licks and nips at the skin while you dig your fingers into his robe.

Vil didn’t really know how to describe the sudden surge of energy that caused him to fling the door open and grab the student by the back of his robe and pull him backwards, eyes glaring at you the entire time as you whisper his name, as if suddenly remembering that you had a previous engagement before this whole ‘sticking your tongue down a Pomefiore student’s throat’’ business.

“Prefect. My room. Now.”

You put your hands up and walk out of the room without looking at him, Vil letting go of the student’s robes and walking out after you. He didn’t even need to tell him that he was in trouble, the student would realize it soon enough once Rook delivered the chores that needed to be done by tonight.

A list only that student would be getting instead of the entire dorm.

Vil closes the door of his room and turns the lock rather harshly, looking back at you sitting at the edge of his bed still staring at the window. You weren’t trying to defend yourself, you weren’t even looking at him.

“I hate to be kept waiting, Prefect. Not just that, it is extremely rude to keep someone waiting just so you can fraternize with someone in my dorm.”

No answer. He grabs his desk chair and sits down so he can face you directly.

“What made you go and pick that potato?”

“Why would that be any of your business Vil-senpai?”

It was very much his business, if you asked him. He would have been okay if it was Epel or even Rook that you had picked to make out with but he wasn’t just going to stand around and watch as one of the student’s whose name he didn’t even know threw all of his work out of the window! So he asked the question again, this time getting a chuckle as an answer which only served to upset him even more.

“Out of anyone in my dorm you could have picked, you had to go with someone who offers you such a low quality brand of lip scrub?”

“That is your problem with this? What he offered me? Me and him just started hanging out, we know nothing about each other! I just wanted to change that.”

His headache was coming back again.

Vil put hard work into everything he did. That was his work ethic and people be damned if they thought it was too much. Maybe they couldn’t handle it but they still respected it, respected his craft and the work he put into it.

So why do you, of all of his recent projects, disrespect him so blatantly?

It was clear you weren’t ready yet, Vil wasn’t done working with you yet. After doing something like this, and right inside his dorm, he knew that you had just taken all of the careful brushes and strokes he had decorated your canvas with…

And burnt it right in front of his eyes.

Which is why he didn’t necessarily feel any guilt when he grabbed your cheeks and pulled his own lipstick out of his back pocket, ignoring your protests.

“Quiet.”

He applies the shade quickly and before you have any chance to protest, pushes his lips against yours.

The kiss is anything but sweet. It’s almost punishing. Vil was reminding you that you were a work in progress. He still had so much left to teach you, so much left to work with you and if you kept rushing things you were going to make him mad. Once he was done with you, you could go about your pitiful little life and kiss whoever you wanted and he wouldn’t even bat an eyelash.

A hand grasps at his wrists as you press his palms on your cheeks, your tongue gently pressing against his lips so you could slip inside--

Nevermind. This sort of impatient kissing would also have to go.

He pulls away and pushes you onto the mattress, your eyes hazy with eagerness and confusion as Vil removes his jacket and gloves and leans down to trap you below him.

“Were you this greedy with him? Did he also get this treatment from you? No, don’t answer. I fear I’ll only get angrier if you do. Now be an obedient little potato and stay still, the first thing I’ll fix is that messy kissing of yours.”

“ :( “

Snacks runs had to be the most annoying and heart pounding of his usual daily life quests. If waking up was a struggle enough, especially when no special loot such as new anime or manga was available, it was hard to complete such basic tasks without some sort of incentive.

Although Idia guessed that not dying of starvation was enough of an incentive.

He walks down the corridor of his own dorm, humming a quiet tune to himself as he looks down at all the snacks he had acquired. Which, score! They even had a limited edition chip flavor that came with the card of one of his favourite idols! It took everything in his power to not just spend all of his money on more than one bag but he had such a good day today that he knew his gacha pull luck just had to be good.

The door to a room behind him opens, Idia quickly picking up his pace and hiding behind a corner as he looks at who it could be. He isn't against anyone in his dorm but...he didn't have the means to engage in any conversation that wasn't about his current FPS game or Gakemo so--

"Thank you for the help! I thought my phone was beyond repair!"

His hands tighten around the chips pressed tight to his chest, eyes wide in surprise as he sees you stepping out of the room.

Of all people...why were you here so late?

The student laughs as he scratches the back of his head, handing you back your phone and looking away.

“No--No problem! I...I honestly didn’t think you would come to me for help. I integrated the newest magical technology on it as well as voice activated features and a--a brand new messaging app that sends messages faster!”

Idia clicked his tongue as he heard the student speak. Look at him showing off. You didn’t know that he was taking advantage of your naive mind! You didn’t know anything about magic so, of course, all those features would sound fancy!

When it was literally taking your phone and just downloading some fancy new apps on it!

Yet there you were, marveling down at it as if you had just gotten the latest version.

Well maybe he shouldn’t complain too much, even from here he could see your smile. A part of him worried that all this luck he was suddenly getting would affect the luck he would get on his chip bag but...you were worth it.

Such a rare event shouldn’t be left unnoticed.

Maybe...maybe if he stayed here you could walk by and he could open up the ‘bumping into each other late at night’ event?

“So how can I repay you? Do you need anything done?”

Idia tunes back into the conversation as he frowns, looking back at the two of you as the student looks at every single corner of the ceiling instead of looking at you.

Payment? The guy had just downloaded a couple of apps that wasn’t good enough reason to offer some sort of payment. He frowns and taps his foot impatiently as the guy stutters out a few excuses before finally giving you an answer.

“A ki--A kiss? Would that be alright?”

The Ignihyde dorm leader almost falls down as he hears that, retreating further into his corner as he glared daggers at the guy who had just dared to ask for such a bold request.

A k--kis--kiss? A kiss...from you?

This guy was starting to piss him off! He should just be content staring at you! You were a SSR character all on your own! That guy should be happy he even got to talk to you at all and shouldn’t ask for more than he was given! He already rolled for such a life changing event why would he even want more!

His eyes soften when he sees you mull it over. It was okay, you could reject him. Such a guy wouldn’t even be worthy of a kiss from you so you so all you had to do was say no! Go on, [Y/N], just reject hi--

Idia can feel his heart breaking as his muscles stop working, dropping all of his stuff on the floor with a thud as the sound echoes. Yet it went ignored, the other two people in the hallway too busy with their own activities.

When...when had you even kissed him? Idia only remembers you putting your phone away and the moment he blinked you had already pressed your lips against that other guy--!

He should be leaving, why isn’t he moving?

The student’s hand goes to your waist as you deepen it, his face turning a deep shade of red as you pull away and tap his lips.

“Was that your first kiss?”

“...y--yes..”

You were smiling and giving him such a rare, almost ultimately rare item and Idia didn’t know how long he could stare until he combusted.

So all he could do was turn around…

And run as fast as he could.

He ignored the familiar voice calling out his name, footsteps quickly following him as he started to run out of breath.

Making a poor otaku like him run, even now you were still being so cruel to him!

Idia’s door slides open as he bursts inside, ready to bury himself in his bed and never come out again--!

Only to stop when he hears you hiss in pain.

Blue eyes turn around to see your foot jammed into his doorway, not allowing the electric door to slide closed. A part of him wants to immediately go to you and ask if you were alright but he stops himself as the image of your kiss flashes through his mind again.

“[Y/N]-shi! W--What--!”

You rub at your foot and sigh, walking in with a confused look as Idia presses his back against his bookshelf. He knew it. If a SSR character could be brought to real life, this is the sort of power they would have over him.

The kind of aura you were emitting was enough for him to want to get on his knees, but he chose to remain strong.

“I was calling out to you…didn’t you hear me?”

Idia turns his head and looks at the floor, the pain still raw and emotionally taxing than what he was used to. Disappointment was one thing but heartbreak was a complete other monster!

“Shouldn’t--Shouldn’t you be with your boyfriend?”

He spits the word out, annoyed that a guy from his dorm could unlock...no...could get someone like you. You were open to every single activity Idia gave you, you gave him good feedback and didn’t get scared when you two disagreed on something. Every manga he gave you, you read and every anime he told you to watch, you would watch it.

You were receptive, you were attentive, you were what Idia wanted in a real life friend!

He hadn’t dared hope for more!

That still didn’t mean he couldn’t fantasize when he was all by himself.

“Boyfriend…?”

You tilt your head in confusion before chuckling as you realized what had happened.

“Oh so you saw that.”

Is that all you were going to say?! You had just taken his heart and crushed it into tiny little pieces and you were just going to talk about what a pervert he was being!

Someone just KO him now, like right now!

“Yes...I saw. So what? You were just ki-kissi--doing that thing from everyone to see! So you should just go back to him instead of bullying me in my own room!”

Please just leave, he wanted to cry in peace.

Yet you stubbornly remain, just like the first time he met you.

“Idia I don’t know what crazy assumptions you are making but that guy isn’t my boyfriend.”

You put up one finger.

“He fixed my phone…”

Another one follows after.

“And he asked for a kiss for payment. Simple as that. You shouldn’t act like you caught us doing something major. It was just a kis---”

Large hands land on your shoulders as Idia now stands in front of you, head hung low as he mutters something to himself.

“Just a kiss….just a kiss.”

You jump as he gets close to your face, eyes staring at you pleadingly as he cupped your face.

“JUST A KISS? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE? AN EXTRA RARE CHARACTER SUCH AS YOURSELF SHOULDN’T BE GIVING OUT SUCH RARE ITEMS LIKE THAT!”

He shakes you back and forth.

“IF YOUR KISS WAS JUST NORMAL THEN EVEN I...I COULD--”

Idia’s eyes fall on your lips, the rush of adrenaline mixed in with his built up desire for you all culminating in two choices popping up in his head. And for the first time, he knew that hesitation was not an option.

So he dives in.

His lips met yours roughly, not really moving them or anything but just pressing them against you. You put your hands gently on his chest but he takes it as a protest, which only causes him to push them onto yours even more.

This was...disastrous.

He had never kissed anyone before. How in the world did he think that he would be able to kiss you? Ah, maybe this was a dream? Right! He had just dreamed all of this up and you didn’t really force your way into his room to confront him!

His hair flares up when you cup his face, pushing him away slightly and tilting him in such a way that your lips would meet in a much softer fashion. He looks down and sees you closing your eyes, following in your footsteps and melting inside your kiss.

You both pull away slowly, Idia opening his eyes and blushing when he sees you licking your lips and sending him a teasing grin.

A rare sight...made only for him.

“I feel like I just spent all my stamina on this one event...so I don’t want to go unrewarded. Can we go further? I want to go further. What option do I have to pick for you to do that again, [Y/N]?”

“Don’t touch them.”

“YOUNG MASTER! WHERE ARE YOU!”

Malleus sighs as he looks on at the Diasmonia students gathered around the outskirts of the school, smiling as he sees Sebek directing them each and every way. Sebek really didn’t give up, did he? One of his classes had been canceled and he was eager to see the gargoyles around Ramshackle in a much better light but he figured Sebek would cause up a stir when he didn’t find him in his classroom.

As much as he appreciated him, Sebek didn’t have to walk him to every single class.

He sighs and goes deeper into the woods behind Ramshackle, the small broken path there leading him down a familiar terrain.

This is where he usually walked with you, after all.

Seeing this place in bright light was so very different. Instead of it being illuminated by his lights, the sun peeked out from over the trees and provided a sunny trail instead of the usual moonlight. He took a deep breath as he breathed in the smell of flowers all around, all of them growing wildly around him and defying any human to try and tame them.

His fingers trace some of the thorns he found on some of them, the flowers attracted to his touch and moving closer to his hands as a small vine wrapped around his finger.

All with his magic’s help after all.

This was his safe space. Malleus would come here during his first and second year and lose himself in the wilderness. In here no one would fear him. Here every single thing was responsive to his touches and even dared to touch back. Some of the wild rose bushes also reminded him of him, Malleus adding a bit more thorns around the flowers as in to emulate the very home he missed.

In this lonely place, he flourished.

But it wasn’t so lonely now, was it?

His third year had brought one big surprise. A human. A child of man who did not know who he was or what he was capable of. They looked at him as if he was just any other stranger roaming around their dorm and not the next ruler of the Valley of Thorns.

And Malleus, being the very curious person he is, found himself pulled to your inattentiveness.

He had dropped many hints that he was eager to get to know you more, relishing in the fact that you two were starting to get closer. And while he had hoped to keep his identity a secret a bit longer, he found it almost unbearable for you to not know who he was.

If you were so open with who you were, then he should show you the same kind of respect.

How wonderful that you were now on a first name basis with each other.

Malleus could walk over to Ramshackle dorm now and knock on your door without hesitation, smiling as he sees your excitement at just what places you two would discover in the dead of night.

Bummer you couldn’t be with him now.

He had seen you come out of your dorm and ask Sebek if he needed any help, to which the fae replied rather rudely that no human could ever track down his young master, so he was a bit reluctant to discover any more places without you by his side.

These walks were something you two did together, after all.

So he remained at this spot, touching everything and anything that would strike his fancy while going deeper and deeper into a small clearing you two had found. A large tree decorated its middle, the leaves falling gently upon the ground as the sun shone down on the large pond that provided this part of the forest with the water it needed to balance out the sun’s gentle rays.

“Shhhh, don’t make too much noise.”

Malleus stops as he hears your voice, his head immediately turning towards the sound as he hears rustling behind him. He smiles and turns to where he thought you were coming from only to be struck by a sudden idea--and immediately hiding among the trees and bushes so you couldn’t see him.

Would you be surprised to find him here?

He hoped so. Malleus had the habit of appearing to you suddenly so this wouldn’t be breaking any traditions between you two. If he played his cards right, you might join him on a walk all the way to the edge of the island.

“Prefect do you know where you are going?”

“I do! I’ve been here so many times. Now come on!”

Another person’s voice. No...he had heard that voice before.

Malleus retreats back into his hiding spot as he sees you rush by, holding by the hand a Diasmonia student as he rushes to follow you. You smile and turn around, still holding his hand while the other looked on in amazement at where you had led him.

“Prefect...this is…”

“Like it? Me and Malleus found it a while ago. This is how we know we are close to the edge of the forest.”

The Diasmonia dorm leader smiles as he watches you show the student around, pointing out different sights and sounds as the other watched on in amazement. That student probably had never gone anywhere this secret and while Malleus was glad you were showing off the place you two shared…

There was a feeling deep inside his chest that flared up angrily as he caught the student looking at you more than his surroundings.

Green eyes watch as the student’s hand clenches and unclenches, seemingly working up the courage to do something as you continue speaking. Which was rather rude, in Malleus’s opinion. You were explaining some wonderful things about the flora here and he was just staring at you without engaging in the conversation.

And how did you two know each other? Malleus had never mentioned you in Diasmonia except to Silver and Lilia, had he known you before him?

Malleus hands grip the tree bark tighter as the student takes your hand, stopping your explanation as he gets you to focus your attention on him.

What--?

“I’ve been eager to find some time alone with you.”

The student clears his throat before pulling you by the hand gently, your surprised look turning into one of playfulness as you follow along with his movements. He leads you to the edge of the pond, spinning you around as you allow him to position you in such a way that you are now closer to him than before.

Which only makes the angry feeling in Malleus’s gut flare up even more.

“Have you now? What for?”

An answer Malleus wanted to know as well.

Blushing, the student smiles and leads you into a dance with no music which only served to make you laugh and make Malleus’s fingers dig deep into the wood of the poor tree.

In the dragon fae’s eyes, you two are dancing for hours without caring about who was around. Why had he even brought you here? This student was part of Sebek’s surveillance crew and yet here he was not doing his job. But he wasn’t the one who brought you here…

You were.

Your actions were lost on Malleus as the dance finishes up, the student dipping you low before bringing you up.

“So you brought me here to dance? Who knew Diasmonia students were so charming.”

Malleus didn’t like the way you were smiling, nor how your hands rested on the student’s shoulders. He hadn’t seen this side of you before, you were playing along with this student and his motives.

Had you always been so playful? Malleus had only seen you during the night and whenever you two spoke it was a conversation worthy of two friends sharing experiences together.

But not this...never this…

“Well, not just a dance. I’ve wanted to state my intentions outright.”

The tree starts to crack slowly as Malleus can feel more thorns growing out of the rose bushes around him.

“Ever since you arrived, you have been an enigma to me. You are always so helpful even to those who do not seek your aid. Even now, you didn’t have to help me search for our Young Master."

He wasn’t searching for anyone, he was too close to you for Malleus’s liking and he needed to learn how to respect your boundaries.

“Yet you still offered me your help...and I…I want to...”

The student was leaning closer as his hands slid down to your waist, Malleus staring as you started to tilt your head as you placed your hands on his chest while his lips were dead set on meeting yours--!

Your face is tilted up as cold lips meet yours, your mouth opening in a surprised gasp as the hold the student had on you was no longer shy and timid but angry and possessive. These lips were pulling you in closer and closer, greedily eating each and every sound you were making as the air was slowly stolen from your lungs.

A string of saliva is left hanging as you two separate, your eyes fluttering open as you think of something to say to such a ravishing kiss.

Only for them to open wide in surprise as you see who you had really kissed.

“Malleus!?”

You turn to look behind the fae’s back, the Diasmonia student looking at his Young Master in mild panic and surprise while Malleus presses you close against his chest, clearly hiding you from view.

Right before the student even had a chance to taste your lips, Malleus had rushed out of his hiding place and pulled him away by the collar of his shirt.

For a dragon to watch on as something that was his was so close to be taken away, the surprise must have gotten to him.

“Go tell Sebek to head back to Diasmonia and call off his search. I will be there by nightfall.”

The student tries to stutter out a response but Malleus glares back as he keeps you pressed firmly against him.

“Now.”

You watch the student leave in a hurry, following the broken path you had led him in with. Your eyes peek up to look at Malleus but the dorm leader waits until the sound of footsteps is long gone before tilting your face up again and leaning down to press his lips against yours in another rough and dominating kiss.

Hands push you forward as your back collides with the huge tree in the clearing, Malleus making sure that the back of your head meets the bark gently as his lips never parted from yours. You wrap your arms around him as best as you could and let out an involuntary squeak when the fae decides to pick you up so that you could pull him in even closer.

He is the one to pull away first, hands firmly on your bottom as you wrap your legs around his waist to support yourself.

“Malleus--”

The fae presses another kiss to your lips, effectively silencing you so that all your attention would be on him.

“Don’t ever bring someone else into this place, child of man. Do I make myself clear? This place is our haven and I will not have someone else come steal both it and you away from me. Well, even if you don’t understand, I’ll make sure to explain it to you thoroughly. Now...kiss me again.”

Hello, congratulations for receiving 700+ followers! :D

I kind of wonder if that request is ok, since it isn't twst chara x reader whatsoever, but I'd like to ask for general headcanons(who they are and how they met each other) with Savanaclaw put into gaslamp fantasy AU(I imagine it as more of steampunk + high fantasy settings, because of my preference to Victorian aesthetic, but if you have more ideas with Edwardians, then go for it :) ).

This was a lot of fun to think about and imagine in my brain theater, hehe. -Shopkeep

Gaslamp Fantasy AU With The Savanaclaw Dorm

Of course still a prince in this universe, but continues down the path of a 2nd son that knows he won’t be in line for the throne anytime soon. But unlike our Leona who kind of just lazes about in NRC days, Leona in a gaslamp fantasy is busy scouring the skies in his airship.

While he may not be the next king, his family and brother expect him to still play a role in the royal family. While his brother takes care of official matters, Leona was given responsibilities as a protector of his kingdom’s people.

While Leona does indeed do his job, does he exactly do it right…? Not really. Think of it along the lines of, “Hey I’m a sky pirate to take down other sky pirates” “Leona, you can’t do that.” “Watch me.”

Also this just gives him an excuse to stay out of royal affairs and happily sail among the clouds. You can think of the Savanaclaw dorm being his rag-tag sky pirate crew.

I imagine unique magic is still a thing within this world. The properties of King’s Roar are still the same albeit rather than turning things into sand, he instantly causes his surroundings to turn to rust. This can be devastating especially within a world that relies heavily on metals for technology.

Though he puts up the front that he’s an uncaring, greedy pirate captain, we all know he cares. He could have easily gone down a path of abandoning his legacy and being a full fledged pirate but every treasure he eyed or adventure he craved, it always benefits his kingdom in some way. Whether people realize it or not.

Cheka is COMPLETELY enamored over the idea that his uncle is a cool sky pirate. He’s so intent on being a pirate too when he grows up and the family is trying desperately to not let him get too influenced by Leona.

Definitely has a get-up very similar to his Halloween outfit. Though he would have more of a ruffled shirt that’s still showing off a lot of his chest because… Yeah… Anyway, he may have to lose the eyepatch and nautical details, but I do like the hat. Just give him a bandana underneath it and bam, there’s our captain.

He may not be the proper definition of a king, but he’s a king among clouds and thieves and you know what? He likes that image a lot better than a prim and proper prince on a throne.

Oh you know Ruggie is gonna be our cute wise-cracking thief from the bustling city streets. He’s busy hustling through the crowds, pickpocketing snobby nobles and pulling fast ones on poor naive newcomers.

Knows a busy city like the back of his hand. Incredibly acrobatic and can shake any guard off his tail by doing some dynamic tricks. A slippery little guy!

I cannot get the image out of my head that his outfit would be so dang adorable. Like everything he wears looks too big for him. He wears overalls with so many patchwork pockets, chunky boots, his shirt has rolled up sleeves, fingerless gloves, and typical funky goggles around his neck. Also often dirtied with soot or oil.

I had this thought that besides finding coin or his next meal, Ruggie also often looked for scrap machinery and automatons that may have been thrown out. A part of Ruggie feels sympathy for the automatons that were thrown out entirely just because they happen to have one mistake in them or something.

He often fixes them up by himself and does some pretty amazing work, able to bring a machine back to full function. He often has these automatons work around in his makeshift workshop or he gifts them to any kids or families within the slums to make their lives easier.

Ruggie would never say this aloud but a part of him believes that the automatons he takes care of do indeed have consciousness and actually understand him. But he knows that’s a silly idea. What he doesn’t realize is that with this belief, he is tapping into his unique magic.

Laugh With Me manifests differently in that what should be an unfeeling and mundane automaton will listen to him and act on his command like a living being for a short amount of time before going back to their original state. He has yet to tap into this magic fully yet and will discover it over time.

Ruggie was picked up by Leona one day as Ruggie was bold enough to dare and pickpocket him. Though Leona was quicker, able to swiftly take back what was his. But he saw potential in Ruggie, seeing how quick witted he was and his talent in handling machinery. He always did need a shipwright…

With a promise for wealth and greatness, Leona offered an opportunity to Ruggie to come join him on his airship. It took a little convincing as Ruggie was reluctant to leave his family behind, but with enough convincing from his grandmother and the local kids, he boarded Leona’s ship and somehow naturally became the right-hand man of Leona.

The latest addition to Leona’s crew and a bit of an oddball compared to the grizzled and salty sky dogs. He definitely looks the part with his tall and strong stature, but his sense of duty and honor is quite a rarity among pirates of all people.

To some, this may be seen as a weakness, but to Leona, he values these kinds of qualities and why he wanted Jack on his crew.

Jack originally was a simple working man, hired as extra muscle for various heavy duty jobs like working around construction areas or factories. He worked these odd jobs to help bring food to the table for his family.

Sadly his family has fallen on some hard times as his parents are getting too old for work and his younger siblings are a bit too young to be working. Jack would rather see them get a proper education unlike him who got straight to work after basic schooling.

There was also… Another issue he was dealing with that made his life harder. A curse of lycanthropy, unfortunately given to him by a rogue werewolf that stumbled into the city and attacked him while he was making his way home from a late shift.

Jack hides this secret desperately and cages himself far away from his family every time the full moon rears its face.

It was during one of those nights that Leona and his crew found him. Leona had heard reports of some beast prowling in a city and a large reward was going to be given to anyone who could bring its head in to the city guards.

During that night, Leona witnessed that despite being such a feral beast that was half-man, half-wolf, Jack’s absolute instinct rather to protect than kill astounded the prince. He needed that kind of loyalty on his ship. The fact that he could turn into a powerful werewolf was a bonus.

At first Jack absolutely refused Leona, not wanting to take part in any piracy plus he had his ailment as a lycanthrope. However, Leona didn’t back down, showing that he didn’t care about Jack being a werewolf. He respected the man in the monster and promised that through their journeys, they may find a cure for him. Plus, sending his family money via the treasures didn’t sound like a bad offer either…

Jack gave in eventually, boarding the ship and making a place for himself as their newest member. He definitely has a lot of learning to do, but Jack would find in due time, he’ll fit right in.

Also, appearance wise, Jack would keep it rather simple but god, does he make it work. A loose shirt, tight fitting pants, a wrap and belts around his waist, and some solid boots. Please consider him also having facial and body hair…
