AUs

Avatar the Last Airbender: 🌊🔱 « v: atla »

Waterbender from the Northern Water Tribe. (Also skilled with a sword.)

15/16 years old.

Doesn't know who his father is, only that he "abandoned" them and hasn't shown his face since. Daddy issues? Daddy issues.

Absolute menace of a child who struggled throughout most of his youth to control his bending: troublemaker both intentionally and accidentally, depending on the situation.

By the time he was 15, he'd more or less mastered his bending and become an . . . unofficial soldier ("unofficial" mainly bc he's terrible at following orders so).

Fought in the Siege of the North.

If the Gaang is willing to allow another sassmaster to join them, Percy travels with them after the siege. Otherwise, he leaves on his own to put his skills to use elsewhere in helping with the war.

PS: Taught himself bloodbending. Not a preferred method of fighting but he also isn't nearly as against it as he should be. (°◡°♡)

Genshin Impact: 🌊🔱 « v: genshin impact »

Hydro Vision wielder from Fontaine. (Uses a sword.)

18/19 years old.

At 16-years-old, Percy fell into the Abyss (or was cast into it by an unknown party . . . :3c). He's totally unaware of just how long he was down there, but long enough for it to have a permanent effect on his sanity—boy's a little unhinged, now.

Further to the above, when he made it out of the Abyss, he suffered amnesia. He remembered his name, his battle instincts, and a particular distaste for the Archons, though he to this day doesn't recall enough of his backstory to know why.

Presently, he spends his time on the road seemingly "aimless," taking up odd jobs here and there or just slaughtering a camp of hilichurls for the fun of it. He's trying to figure out his past, but has had few leads to help him.

My hand slipped and I designed a Caleo fankid earlier today. Her name is Sol and she has her father’s pointy ears, mother’s eyes (and the headpiece) and the ability control fire. Will share more information when I know more about her!

(Ps. one final reminder that I wrote a Caleo fic the other day!)

Finding out the child who memorized entire sections of the Deadpool 2 script before working with Ryan Reynolds is going to be Percy the Sassmaster Jackson makes me think it might be okay

Top 10 Favorite Characters

It changes, and I like them all for different reasons, but it’s interesting to see how they connect and what they say about me. Some of the order is iffy - certain characters are too close to equals for me to decide - but I thought this would be fun.

10. Merlin

I came in way late to the game with this fandom but dang if it didn’t hit everything I like. I love his smartassery, his power - Merlin plays at unassuming, bumbling goof, but he’s the center of so much of Camelot. As you’ll see in higher parts of the list, the secret identity thing - the dichotomy of the character - really gets me.

9. Belle

She’s my favorite Disney Princess. But she also represents similar qualities to most of my favorite female characters - ones that are introverts or intellectuals that are put down for those very reasons. 

Hermione and Luna - who are unpopular because of their respective strangeness. Annabeth (as portrayed in the books or the Lightning Thief Musical - “I’ve always been the smart girl / but smart girl only gets a girl so far) who is known for her intellect, but is hyper aware that her pride is her worst flaw. I’d include them all, but I feel like I’d say the same things - it boils down to I identify so hard with them but I wish I had their ability to make my own strangeness a strength. So I picked Belle because she was the first to really make me feel this way. 

8. Derek Hale

Again, weird way into the fandom - I saw the first few episodes as they aired, back in my early teens then completely dropped it. As I got into other fandoms,  Teen Wolf crossovers, then just straight up Teen Wolf. And then I recognized it - having to go back and figure out who was who, but still - and that was around the time 6B trailers were dropped. So really I know fandom!Derek better than canon - I just find him interesting as someone who has gone through so much pain (the writers just never stopped torturing him, huh?) and his dynamics that he could have had are really interesting.

Of course, this just made me even more excited about Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, which I personally think he nailed. 

7. Percy Jackson

Right!  We’re getting higher on the list so the sassmasters are coming out. Percy is exactly the little rebel that just tries to do the right thing - he’s a kid thrown into a situation that grows up not wanting to be thrown anywhere.  In the books, he’s sarcastic, fun, and real. In the musical, he’s funny, just trying to keep up - he’s how he should be portrayed (after all, Chris McCarrell is literally Persassy)

6. Peter Parker

If you ask me who my favorite superhero is, I’ll always automatically answer “Spider-Man”, and I’ll mean Peter Parker’s spidey.  Something about watching the Spectacular Spider Man cartoon, something about Peter’s attempts to just do the right thing even though people put him down for it - whatever it is, it speaks to me. Tom Holland’s definitely works into my image of how Spidey should be. 

5. Dick Grayson

I know I said Spidey’s my favorite hero as far as gut reactions go, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like other ones more ultimately! Dickie’s Robin has had my heart since the og Teen Titans cartoon and the Static Shock one. What really gets me about Dick, though, is when he’s finally come into being Nightwing - he tries so hard to be what others need, and Nightwing feels like a freedom thing with him. (I’m seriously concerned about my boy, DC, what are you doing rn?)

4. Sirius Black

THIS MAN. Okay. Sirius is so freaking interesting to me. He’s a drama queen, a prankster. But - his history, even though he’s a rebel, connects him to a darker part of the story. He’s a Black, he got disowned, he got accused of selling out his dearest friend! He has a temper like no one else, explosive and definitely reminiscent of the only other Black we know a lot about - Bellatrix. He and Remus play off of each other so well (cough wolfstar cough), and his complicated relationship with his past and present just really get me ugh. (PS the Mischief Managers give me my favorite portrayals of Wolfstar and Sirius and Regulus tbh. All of their stuff is fantastic)

3. Jason Todd

Much as I love Nightwing, and have since I was younger, Jason Todd is my favorite member of the Bat Family. I was introduced to him through Jensen Ackles’ voice acting in that one animation, but just. Ugh. Something about how he built himself back up - revenge ridden or not - how he’s so irreverent and hopeful at the same time just. He’s so selfless and interesting and self-deprecating and I really don’t know what else about him just - 

he’s awesome. I really hope the live action version lives up to my expectations (which for now are incredibly low). 

2. Bucky Barnes

And if you asked me who my favorite marvel character was, I’d go to Bucky. This man, who stood by his best friend through the CRAZIEST shit, comes along, gets tortured, still keeps fighting, practically dies, is tortured some more with a side of brainwashing - 

he’s been through the wringer, okay?

And yet he stands by Steve. And yet he doesn’t want to hurt anyone that doesn’t deserve it. He claws his way back to being semi - okay, judging by the post credits of Black Panther. He just works his way, tries for redemption for things that definitely weren’t his fault, doesn’t blame it on the world like so many would and - not to mention he’s a total badass and let’s give credit to Seb for absolutely being an amazing Bucky because seriously.

1. Gabriel

The Trickster. The Archangel.  UGH. If you’ve followed me long enough you’ve seen my rants.  He’s wonderfully crass, tells the truth (well, the hard truths, not the important ones about himself), is so freaking self-aware. He knows he’s not strong enough to face his elder brothers. He knows exactly how to hit Lucifer where it hurts. He’s just - 

And despite what some might percieve as selfishness - which to be fair is consistent in his character - he takes care of himself first all the way up to the end and then he lays himself bare and vulnerable when there’s nothing left. (Letting Sam know what happened to him? Talking about everyone who left him to Asmodeus?) And lays it all on the line in the end - lays his life down. (I have accepted that in canon it’s probably permanent this time but in fanfic I do what I want.)

Anyway, thanks for looking at my rant and my faves feel free to rant back to me about them

The Field Guide To The North American Teenager by Ben Philippe

When Norris Kaplan moves from Canada to Austin, Texas, he is none to pleased. For a black french-canadian, Texas doesn’t seem all too welcoming. All Norris wants is to make it through his mandatory “please try” phase with his mom before being able to back to cold, snowy Canada and his best friend Eric. Despite his best efforts to stay under the radar until spring break, his plans seem to epically fail for multiple, totally unavoidable reasons. But Norris slowly starts to find his place in Austin. He finds a job at a local restaurant, makes friends with a weirdly chill dude with a strange wish to learn to play hockey and his new boss’ daughter, and maybe he’ll even find a girlfriend in the strange artsy girl who seems all too fascinating for Norris to ignore, all while jotting down observations about the workings of the American High School system and the students who are part of it in his small notebook (helpfully provided by his school counselor). Although Norris’ Field Guide to The North American Teenager might seem silly, it’s Norris’ new life and he has to navigate it somehow, especially when his smart mouth tends to get him in trouble.

----SPOILERS----

This book was awesome. It made me smile and laugh and served up some Percy Jackson-level sass and hilarious chapter titles. I loved the sarcasm, like, oh my god. I wish I was that snarky. But seriously let me tell you, from the moment I picked up this book and read the blurb on the book jacket, I felt for Norris. He moved from Canada where everyone's one joy in life is hockey (sorry for the stereotype), to Texas, where everyone's one joy in life is football (not a stereotype). I also really loved that he wasn't your stereotypical white narrator in a slice of life YA novel, I feel like those types of books are a dime a dozen these days and they don't offer up nearly as many laughs as this one did. Norris is a pretty cool main character overall, his inner monologue and his voice for that matter is just so incredibly sassy. Sassmaster to the max. Also Liam's character? Absolute gold, an “aggressively chill dude” with an actual backstory and he isn't a stoner, it’s what I aspire to be in life (joking but not really). Eric was also a pretty good character even if he was pushed to the back burner a bit. I also love the relationship he has with his mother, it’s the kind of real fun stuff that good parental relationships are made of, it was also great to see him on better terms with his dad by the end of the book. The incorporation of modern issues is relevant and seamlessly scattered throughout the text. Obviously, you can’t ever read a book without having a few issues with it. For one, I thought Norris’ thing against Ian had practically no basis as nothing really went down between them, and I get that Norris has this thing about comparing American high school to eighties movie high schools but I feel like it either should have been played up more or not brought up at all. It tended to come up at random moments that if you weren’t familiar with those movies, you’d have no idea what he was talking about. But onto more positive points! One thing I really liked about this book, although I’m sure some will disagree with me, is that Norris didn’t really have an endgame. Sure he really liked Maddie and his ultimate goal for his remaining time in Austin is to woo her and have the best senior prom ever, but he didn’t have some big internal crisis over Aarti and Maddie that made him do stupid shit, and in the end, everything was perfect and cheesy and cliche. I just love that. Again, not your normal slice of life story. Overall this story was wonderfully written and bound to make you laugh, no matter how many times you kind of want to reach into the book and slap Norris upside the head. Definitely, 10/10 would recommend you give it a read when in need of a good laugh.

Percy Jackson Princess Diaries AU where instead of the Queen having to turn an awkward, invisible, afraid of public speaking grandchild into a Queen she has to turn an anti-authority, troublemaking, sassmaster grandchild into a King

The Foxhole Court, Chapter 11 – Orange Sportsball Gets The Fuck Real

In which the Foxes play their first match of the season, I have questions about American college sports, my Percy Jackson obsession has a brief cameo, and I’m sadly less excited about Actual Sportsball Games than I should be.

Sounds good? Then it’s time for Nicki to read The Foxhole Court.

           Thursday’s excitement had nothing on Friday’s. The whole school got decked out overnight with vibrant orange and white streamers. Ribbons and banners hung off every sidewalk lamp. Live student bands took over the amphitheater for short concerts and the student newspaper released that morning gave details for the afternoon parade.

Is that, like…………. Normal behavior on game days?? Actual American high school/college students, please confirm. Is this an actual thing???

I mean, I know y’all are big on sports and school spirit, but this big??

Please understand my confusion: At my school, no one fucking gave a shit about the sports teams. I didn’t even know when anyone had games/competitions unless we got told afterwards who won what brilliant award now, and even then like 5% of us cared. And I can’t speak for my uni yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s the same there as well. Do German unis even have sports teams?

I always liked to make fun of High School Musical 3 for having those giant ass banners displaying the athletes hanging in the halls. I am now starting to realize that might be perfectly normal for American schools.

What the fuck.

Also, Neil officially came out now – as a member of the Foxes, that is, of course.

           Neil wanted to cut class and hide at Fox Tower until game time, but athletes weren’t allowed to call out without a legitimate medical excuse. Someone from the athletics committee went around all day counting heads through classroom windows, and Wymack would be the first to hear Neil was absent.

They seriously stalk their students all day in fear they might be skipping class? And these students are in college, they are grown adults, not 14-year-olds. Again, is this a thing, what the fuck??

Then again, we’re talking about the country who invented hall passes. This is probably not the craziest thing around.

Fortunately, the Foxes decide to display their first sign of group solidarity in these trying times and guide Neil from class to class. This is a really small detail, but I love it.

I’m imagining Neil as a lil baby duck who obediently follows a big spikey-haired Matt duck, a small white-pastel-y Renee duck or a glamorous blonde Allison duck, wagging behind them in a tiny duck-sized jersey.

Although, when you think about it, they’re all just lil baby ducks following a big Wymack momma duck.

(Someone draw me fanart, I’m BEGGING YOU.)

I’m getting off track. Back to the plot.

           Andrew hadn’t lied to Neil back in May. In almost every article that talked of Neil’s pathetic experience Kevin was quoted as having high hopes for him. Kevin really had said that Neil would one day be Court.

Because this is the second time this has come up: What exactly does “being Court” mean?? Like, being Captain? Being MVP? Also, is this a regular sports expression or is is Exy-exclusive? Exyclusive?? Help.

A small silver lining of future hilariousness appears on the horizon: An Exy kickoff banquet is going to happen sometime in the next few chapter, and I am HYPED. This chaotic mess of a team + all their rivals + dates + drinks can only equal a Massive Fun Time™.

Fun for us, not for them, might I add. I am dying to see this.

           “[Renee] hasn’t asked [Andrew] yet, but it’s inevitable. (…) Money’s on the table as to whether or not he says yes. Pot’s getting pretty big, so get your bet in fast.”

           The only thing the Foxes had in common besides Exy and hardship was their strange obsession with betting on the stupidest things. Neil had figured that out only two weeks into practice. A week didn’t go by when there wasn’t money on something or another.

A team after my own heart <3 Can I join? I can never find anyone to bet on dumb things in my own circle of friends.

Will I throw this piece of paper in the bin on my first shot? Will the bus be late? Will Friend A and B hook up tonight? Will I lose my (nonexistent) emotional sanity to this series before the last book is over?

I don’t know about the others, but the last one is 100% happening.

           “There’s something we haven’t told you yet,” Dan said. (…) “So Andrew’s technically legally required to take his medication, right? (…) He struck a bargain of his own with Coach. The only reason he signed with us is because Coach agreed to let him come off his drugs for game nights.”

Is this supposed to come as a big plot twist? Because I kind of saw that coming. 10 bucks says Andrew comes off his meds for all Important Moments.

*insert yet another rant about the negative portrayal of mental health meds as barbaric mind-numbing, mania-inducing ~happy pills~ here*

Anyways, back to game day!! Our beloved foxy nutcases are playing against the Breckenridge Jackals, which is shaping up to be a Fun Time™ as they are apparently the biggest bullies around (second only to the Edgar Allan Murder Mob Clique, of course).

However, when faced with his impending wipe-out on the court, our favourite Sassmaster McSavage reaches new levels of Hell Fuckin Yeah:

           “[Gorilla] will break every bone in your body if you give him the chance.”

           “Don’t worry, though,” Matt said. “He’ll probably be too busy killing Kevin and Seth to notice you.”

           “This is my reassured face,” Neil said, pointing up at his blank expression.

SAVAGE.

I actually laughed so hard at that. This is some Percy Jackson level of sass right there.

Come to think about it, I want the entire AFTG series narrated by Percy Jackson, especially the chapter titles.

“I Am Offered A Foxy Deal”

“My Troubled Past Comes Back To Haunt My Ass”

“I Get Dragged Into Some Gay Shit”

“We Kick Serious Jackal Butt, Sort Of”

Remind me to make a full post of that once I’ve finished the series.

Off topic again. Sorry.

Before we finally begin the actual match (and wow, it’s 1.1k words already), Nicky seems to finally get the mental slaps I’ve been sending him since a few chapters ago:

           Nicky looked at Neil. “Hey,” he said, sounding uncharacteristically hesitant. “We haven’t really had a chance to talk after… Well. I wanted to say sorry, but I kept chickening out. Are we okay?”

           “I don’t know yet,” Neil said.

           Nicky weighed that for a minute, then sighed and said, “Fair enough.”

Deep sigh. Who are we kidding, I can never resist a self-aware comic relief, Nicky, you’re still one of my faves. At least he knows he fucked up.

And now, finally: It’s Orange Sportsball time!!

Time for fast-paced sports action, balls flying, racquets hitting, body-checks left and right, a flurry of energy and emotion… that I simply can’t get behind.

I’m sorry, you guys, but I found myself having to double- and triple-read passages here in order to keep up with who is standing where, who is passing to whom and just generally what exactly is going on. Maybe it has to do with my own lack of interest for any sports involving balls (or actually any sports that isn’t dance, cheer, or anything involving performance), but I’m not really excited about this whole game part, to put it mildly.

Don’t get me wrong: I am loving the emotions attached to it. Solidarity, passion, group dynamics and character development shown on the field, give me all that good shit. I just couldn’t care less about who’s passing to who. Forgive me.

Did someone say passion and group dynamics?

           Neil’d watched his teammates fall apart to in-fighting all summer long, but now he finally saw them as a whole. As much as the Foxes disliked each other at times, they disliked their opponents more. They were still too fractured to be truly great, but they were good enough to give him chills.

This is shaping up to be good, you guys.

I can only imagine the sheer gloriousness in the upcoming books when Kandreil finally get their shit together and play on the field as a beautiful unstoppable three-way killing machine. I WILL DIE.

Twenty minutes into the game, Seth is crushed against a wall by three hundred pounds of pure douchebaggery – and I actually do feel sorry for him, not gonna lie – which means it’s time for the moment we’ve all been waiting for:

           “Going on for Seth Gordon is freshman Neil Josten, number ten, of Millport, Arizona.”

           Neil wondered if casket lids sounded like court doors being shut.

Ah yes, thank you for reminding me, even in the face of impending doom, how incredibly extra our boy Josten is.

           “A national champion and an amateur? South Carolina’s gotten even crazier than usual.”

           “An amateur and a cripple, you mean,” the dealer said.

           Andrew slammed his racquet against the goal, making several athletes jump and drawing more than a few wary looks his way.

This is such a small detail but it’s the /best/. Nobody insults my boyfriends in front of me, fuckface.

Bla bla bla more sports bla bla, I’m putting everything remotely interesting that’s happening in a bullet list because let’s be honest, it’s not fucking much.

Neil scores! Twice! Good boy.

Matt takes a card for the team by punching the fuck out of Gorilla, what a babe.

Also, his mom is a professional boxer? When can we meet her. I’m always a sucker for strong women who could kick my ass.

Gorilla has been hitting Kevin’s hand on purpose all the time, which is not cool, yet not surprising, ain’t no honour in Exy injuries, apparently.

That is it, my dudes.

Writing the next chapter on a coach (yet again) as I’ll be visiting some friends in NRW, so I’ll be coming to you live from my Prime Flixbus Office Space, let’s see how that works out. Till next time, ily all. <3
