Hello, I've been thinking about this for a while but how do you think the Wuwa men would be like as dad's, if you can please include Geshu Lin because there are not many posts about him

The Weight of Legacy

Tags: Geshu Lin, Jiyan, Fatherhood, Headcanons, Parenting Dynamics, Emotional Distance, Tactical Parenting.

Warnings: Mentions of Emotional Distance (Geshu Lin), Themes of Rigorous Expectations and Tough Love (Geshu Lin), Subtle Themes of Anxiety and Self-Doubt (Jiyan), References to Past Trauma and Lingering Guilt (Geshu Lin and Jiyan), Exploration of Parenting Styles.

Geshu Lin would be a demanding and no-nonsense father, believing that life’s challenges should be faced head-on. He would teach his children the value of strength, discipline, and resilience, pushing them to be self-reliant from a young age.

He would have high expectations for his children, expecting them to excel in whatever they do. However, his praise would be rare, as he would focus more on improvement than celebrating achievements.

Geshu’s emotional presence would be somewhat distant. He may struggle with showing affection in traditional ways, focusing more on instilling a sense of purpose and duty. His love would be expressed through actions, such as ensuring his children are well-prepared for the world.

While he may seem indifferent to the emotional needs of his children, Geshu would ensure their safety and success by preparing them for harsh realities. He would not coddle them but would ensure they are ready to survive and thrive in a dangerous world.

Being a former general, Geshu would likely teach his children combat techniques from a young age, emphasizing discipline, strategy, and the importance of decisive action.

Geshu’s own tragic past would color his approach to fatherhood. He might overcompensate for his perceived failures in leadership, and his lingering guilt could drive him to push his children too hard, trying to make up for his own lost opportunities.

Jiyan, despite his stoic exterior, would be a deeply compassionate father. He would always ensure his children’s emotional well-being is a priority, offering support and understanding even when he is under pressure.

Jiyan would teach his children the importance of justice and protecting those in need, but in a gentle, caring manner. He would want to ensure they understand responsibility but also feel loved and nurtured in the process.

As a strategist, Jiyan would approach fatherhood with a logical and thoughtful mindset, planning ahead to ensure his children are well-prepared for the future. He might be the kind of father who has a long-term vision for his children’s development, balancing their academic and physical growth.

Jiyan would show his children the importance of balance in life—how to be both strong and kind, and how to be a warrior while maintaining compassion. He would work to avoid the mistakes of his predecessors and ensure that his children never lose sight of their humanity.

Jiyan would be a forgiving and patient father when it comes to discipline. He would prefer open communication, understanding his children’s perspective and offering guidance instead of harsh reprimands.

Jiyan’s own doubts about his role as a general would carry over into his fatherhood. He might constantly worry about whether he is doing enough for his children, driven by a desire to avoid the emotional and physical sacrifices he endured growing up.

*Saturn Natal Aspect Snippets*

Sun Trine Saturn: Likely a persistent, disciplined, hardworking, and reliable individual. They tend to easily earn the trust of others. They may have good luck with networking or having a positive reputation. But they can be overly cautious to where they stifle spontaneity and creativity. They can also have a judgmental side.

Can struggle to have close relationships with authority figures, maybe parents, or teachers. Finds it difficult to tap into creativity or go after their desires, being pulled away or stifled by obligations. Can have a lot of inner strength and their ambition can be their guide and light.

But could look down on their softer side. Can be self-critical. May have a lot of emotional reserve and inhibition. Will still have to heal or face their fast-lane maturity as an adult.

Can be very ambitious and strategic in life. But being overly cautious or rigid can be a challenge for this more comfortable aspect.

Saturn Trine Uranus: This aspect combines innovation with practicality, allowing individuals to implement original ideas and progressive changes in a structured and sustainable way. May have good luck with technology, abstract ideas or theories, and thinking or doing things outside of the box. Even though this aspect is harmonious, conflict between old vs. new can still exist within them. Tradition vs. the nonconventional, sustaining vs. change, order vs. chaos can still happen when these two planets interact.

Saturn Opposite Uranus: A need for freedom and frequent change and a need for predictability and stability may haunt them. They can have conflicting desires and expectations with who they are in their society and what they want out of society. May find it hard to commit to long-term plans or goals. Life may seem unstable for them often. They can be highly adaptable, enduring, and enlighten individuals as they grow.

Saturn Square Uranus: Can swing back and forth from being highly rebellious to a rule follower. Can be resistant to change but have a disdain or fear of stagnation, causing internal conflicts. Can equally fear and be fascinated by the unknown. This placement can pave the way for understanding structures and systems in their life or society and how to break free of them. Has a great desire for liberation and inner authority.

Saturn Trine Neptune: This aspect allows people to balance practicality with imagination. This is the artist who is business savvy. This aspect can also make one highly compassionate and purposeful in their giving and actions. They may have a strong drive to join a career of healing or helping others. Or they may be part of charities and nonprofits. However they need to be careful of being around controlling and restrictive environments. This can stunt their growth and happiness.

Saturn Opposite Neptune: This aspect can create confusion and tension between idealism and practicality, leading to feelings of disillusionment or uncertainty when reality does not align with dreams and expectations. Without grounding they can fall into vicious cycles of disappointment. But they can be highly compassionate and empathetic. With a grounding influence they can be a responsible healer or spiritual leader.

Saturn Square Neptune: Conflicts between the spiritual and tangible side of self and life can cause them frustration. May struggle with getting in touch with their spiritual side OR their more logical, down-to-earth side. But they may master introspective skills and become highly enlightened as they grow/mature.

Saturn Trine Pluto: Makes individuals perceptive, hardworking, diligent, strong, and determined. We have two powerful planets working together. Pluto brings depth, destruction, healing, transformation, empowerment. Saturn brings wisdom, maturity, strategy, lessons, and realism. They can be blessed with self-mastery and a strong, effective willpower. But they may be overly serious, negative, or controlling, and easily stressed.

Saturn Opposite Pluto: May struggle with inner power struggles. They may swing from intense confidence to crippling anxiety or self-doubt. Can easily feel overwhelmed or restricted by responsibilities and limitations, resulting in periods of frustration and potential burnout. These individuals will likely experience many profound transformations in their life. Introspection and honing their intuition will be helpful to them.

Saturn Square Pluto: May feel like they never have enough control or power over their life. Leaving their comfort zone, sticking to discipline or a routine, inner authority, independence, and ultimately empowerment may seem extra hard for them. But they can learn to be resourceful, perceptive, and enduring over time. They may find empowerment in unexpected ways.

💌 glowettee hotline: issue #001: navigating cliquey vibes: finding your light in chilly uni halls

(some text blocked in favor of anon's privacy reasons <3)

welcome to the very first edition of glowettee hotline, where we fix your study slumps, productivity spirals, and it-girl dilemmas with a mix of soft discipline, coquette motivation, and glowettee philosophies.

i’ve been obsessed with the idea of creating a space where we can romanticize self-improvement, push ourselves academically, and embrace that girl energy, without the burnout. and after receiving 17 (!!) submissions already, i know we’re onto something magical. love you all <3 - mindy

hi darling, hope you're having a lovely, wonderful day!!

i'm so excited you reached out with your q today, because i literally know how challenging it can be to feel adrift in a sea of cliquey vibes at uni. it really sucks when you're surrounded by friendly faces in one circle but then find yourself in classes where almost everyone else seems distant, unwelcoming, or even downright snobby. i totally understand the weight of feeling unsupported especially during group work or oral presentations. so, let’s chat through some super detailed strategies to help you not only survive but thrive rn in these tricky social settings.

navigating cliquey vibes: finding your light in chilly uni halls

by mindy @glowettee (glowettee hotline, submit here for personal advice: https://bit.ly/glowetteehotline)

⋆. 𐙚 ˚appreciating your core circle & celebrating your uniqueness⋆. 𐙚 ˚

firstly, your core friend group is such a precious gem. remember, having a close-knit set of people who know and love you is more important than being universally liked. here’s how to make the most of your supportive tribe:

• before tough classes or presentations, lean on your close friends. even a quick pep talk or a smile exchanged across the room can boost your confidence. • use your circle as a sounding board for your ideas. they can help you rehearse presentations or give you tips on how to navigate group assignments. • celebrate your wins together. even if it’s after a brilliant group discussion or just overcoming a day that felt isolating, take some time to share those moments. • remind yourself daily that your worth is not determined by the acceptance of everyone around you. you are a unique, clever individual radiating positivity. never forget that.

2. ⋆. 𐙚 ˚turning group projects into a positive challenge⋆. 𐙚 ˚

group assignments can be super intimidating when you’re unsure whom you can rely on. but think about it as an opportunity to discover parts of yourself you might not have met otherwise. here are some practical steps for navigating group work:

• start by introducing yourself warmly. a simple "hi, i’m [your name]—i'm excited to work with you all" can set a friendly tone. • initiate a casual group chat or a quick get-to-know-you meet-up before diving into the work. suggest grabbing coffee or even meeting in a quiet corner of the campus to chat. • assign roles based on everyone's strengths. this not only clarifies who is doing what but also gives everyone a chance to feel valued. propose clearly defined tasks by asking, "what part do you really love doing?" or "which part feels natural to you?" • if some group members remain distant or rude, focus on collaborating with those who are engaged. sometimes, it’s okay if one or two people are enthusiastic. quality over quantity. • always have a backup plan for situations when group dynamics falter. perhaps create a personal outline for the project and set aside time to rework any loose ends. this helps you retain control over your part of the assignment, even if others aren’t as invested.

3. ⋆. 𐙚 ˚building personal resilience and managing class anxiety⋆. 𐙚 ˚

feeling out of place in classes where few familiar faces exist is completely normal, but there are some really neat ways to boost personal resilience. i like to think of these techniques as little self-care rituals that build your inner strength:

• start your morning or class prep with affirmations. say something like "i am enough" or "i belong here" as you look in the mirror. these affirmations can be surprisingly powerful. • cultivate a mindfulness practice. even just five minutes of deep breathing before class can help center your energy. use mindfulness apps or even a simple timer to guide you through a quick meditation. • keep a journal of small victories. jot down every little win, like speaking up in class or even smiling through a challenging presentation. these notes become a lovely reminder of how far you’ve come. • set up a pre-class ritual that calms your nerves. even if it’s listening to your favorite song, enjoying a cup of herbal tea, or just giving yourself a gentle pep talk, these rituals let you enter class with a positive mindset. • acknowledge that it’s okay to feel anxious. instead of trying to push the feeling away, wrap yourself in understanding and self-love. after all, every uni student feels the pressure sometimes.

4. ⋆. 𐙚 ˚creating meaningful connections beyond your immediate classes⋆. 𐙚 ˚

even if certain classes feel socially isolated, there are countless ways to build community on campus. sometimes, the most unexpected connections can blossom into the most sincere friendships. consider these avenues:

• join uni clubs, societies, or interest groups that resonate with your passion. it can be a creative club, a study group, or a casual meetup for a shared hobby, these environments tend to be super welcoming. • attend campus events, workshops, or talks. these can be fantastic settings for meeting people outside the rigid structure of classroom interactions. it's a chance to meet someone who shares your vibe and interests. • volunteer for student-led initiatives. taking part in projects or community service can show you a side of your peers that you wouldn't normally see in a lecture hall. • look into mentoring programs or campus counseling services. many unis offer support that not only helps with academic stress but also with social challenges. sometimes, sharing your struggles with someone who understands can be incredibly reassuring. • consider creating a little interest group of your own if you notice others who feel similarly isolated. even a small, informal study or discussion group can help you forge lasting bonds.

5. ⋆. 𐙚 ˚reframing challenges into growth experiences⋆. 𐙚 ˚

it’s natural to feel disheartened when you face exclusion or cold responses. but often, these challenges are little nudges guiding you to develop a thicker skin and a stronger sense of self. try out these reframing ideas:

• view each uncomfortable encounter as a step towards personal growth. every time you overcome social hurdles, you’re building resilience and learning more about yourself. • remember that some people’s unfriendliness is more about their own insecurities than any shortcomings on your part. their behavior says more about them than it does about you. • channel any negative energy you encounter into creative or academic pursuits. write down your thoughts, doodle your feelings, or even consider a blog post about your journey. creativity is a wonderful way to turn pain into something beautiful. • celebrate your uniqueness. the qualities that set you apart are what make you valuable. sometimes, it’s exactly those differences that will eventually attract the right people into your life. • let every difficult experience remind you of the person you are becoming. each challenge faced is a victory in building your inner power and empathy.

6. ⋆. 𐙚 ˚personal rituals that keep you grounded⋆. 𐙚 ˚

i believe in creating a few personal rituals to help navigate the ups and downs of uni life. these little practices can serve as anchors on days when everything feels overwhelming:

• before class, take a quiet moment to enjoy a comforting cup of coffee or tea. let that be a moment just for you, a time to gather your thoughts and breathe. • keep a small token or journal with you. it could be a piece of jewelry, a lucky charm, or even a handwritten note that reminds you of your intrinsic worth. whenever you feel isolated, hold that token and feel the support it symbolizes. • make a mini “positivity checklist” for turbulent days: 1. take three deep breaths. 2. text or call a friend from your trusted circle. 3. quickly jot down one thing you’re proud of from the day. 4. give yourself a moment to reflect on a past success. • if ever the weight of anxiety feels too heavy, try a quick self-soothing exercise like stretching or taking a brisk walk between classes. little bursts of movement can reset your mind. • remind yourself that self-care isn’t selfish! it’s essential. investing time in nurturing your well-being pays off in your academic life and beyond.

⋆˚ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆final thoughts & encouragement⋆˚ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

i know how overwhelming it can feel rn when every class and group project seems to amplify your insecurities. but darling, every challenge is also a lesson in disguise. use these moments as opportunities to cultivate your strengths, build resilience, and discover new facets of yourself. your uni journey is uniquely yours, sprinkled with little moments of growth, learning, and even unexpected joy. sometimes, the journey might seem rocky, but every bump is teaching you how to rise a little higher each time.

remember, you are not alone. even in moments where you feel isolated, your inner strength and your supportive circle are there to hold you up. take these strategies at your own pace, experiment with what feels right for you and make adjustments as needed. your story is still unfolding, and every challenge you overcome adds another beautiful chapter.

sending you the biggest virtual hug and all the good vibes!! keep shining in your own unique way and know that these hurdles are just stepping stones to an even brighter future. i hope these detailed tips bring you some comfort and clarity, and if you ever need to chat or dive into more ideas, feel free to send more asks!! remember to take care of yourself and keep believing in your incredible journey!!

and that’s a wrap on glowettee hotline: issue #1. i am so obsessed with this already, and i can’t wait to dive into more of your guys' questions.

if today’s advice helped, let me know in the replies/reblogs: what’s one habit you’re changing after reading this? let’s romanticize self-discipline together. ✨

Studyblr

Studyblr is a portmanteau of “study” and “Tumblr,” referring to a subcommunity on the microblogging and social networking platform Tumblr that centers around academic motivation, study aesthetics, productivity, and educational self-improvement. It is part of a larger trend of internet-based productivity and self-betterment communities that use social media to share resources, inspiration, and personal progress. The Studyblr movement rose to prominence in the mid-2010s, particularly among high school and college students, and has since evolved into a broader cultural and pedagogical phenomenon. Unlike traditional educational tools or support systems, Studyblr is grassroots and peer-led, combining elements of digital journaling, lifestyle blogging, and academic coaching.

The Studyblr community emerged organically from Tumblr’s broader user base in the early 2010s. It was initially inspired by the pre-existing aesthetic blogging culture of Tumblr, which was characterized by curated visual content, moodboards, personal diaries, and thematic tagging. As users began sharing photos of their study spaces, handwritten notes, planners, and school routines, a distinct identity coalesced around the tag “#studyblr.”

This emergence coincided with growing global interest in academic competitiveness, mental wellness, and productivity among digital-native students. While the community had no official founding date or centralized leadership, key influencers—users who consistently posted high-quality, original content—helped shape its ethos. Over time, Studyblr expanded beyond static images to include long-form reflections on study strategies, mental health, goal-setting, and the lived experiences of students navigating academic systems.

Studyblr is perhaps best known for its distinctive visual and textual aesthetics. Content typically revolves around carefully arranged photos of notebooks, stationery, desks, laptops, and textbooks. These images often feature natural lighting, pastel color palettes, and neat handwriting in cursive or block letters. The emphasis on presentation serves both motivational and aspirational functions: it reflects the user’s effort and self-discipline, while also creating an idealized image of productive student life.

Beyond visuals, Studyblr content is deeply text-driven. Posts often include personal essays, daily study logs, motivational affirmations, study tips, productivity challenges, book reviews, and planning systems. Many users integrate bullet journaling and time management methodologies such as the Pomodoro Technique, Eisenhower Matrix, or Getting Things Done (GTD) framework into their content. The aestheticized academic life depicted in Studyblr is often aspirational, yet it can also contain candid reflections on academic burnout, impostor syndrome, and the pressure to perform.

Studyblr functions as a decentralized, informal learning network. Users share and exchange knowledge across disciplines, offering peer support, explanations, and curated resources. Unlike formal education systems that follow rigid curricula, Studyblr promotes autodidacticism—self-directed learning based on personal interest and need. It is common to find comprehensive guides written by users on how to study specific subjects, prepare for standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, or A-Levels, or learn foreign languages.

These peer-led instructional materials often emphasize metacognitive strategies, such as spaced repetition, active recall, mind mapping, and Cornell note-taking. Studyblr can thus be viewed as a space for educational praxis, where learners not only consume knowledge but also critically reflect on how to learn. In this sense, it parallels and intersects with the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement, albeit in a more informal and socially curated manner.

Studyblr supports a complex and multifaceted set of identities. Users often present themselves as diligent, growth-oriented individuals who are striving to improve their academic lives. However, the community is also interwoven with issues of self-image, performance, and socio-cultural pressures. Many Studyblr participants are women and girls, and there is a strong feminized aesthetic to the community, including a focus on journaling, pastel tones, and emotional self-care.

Despite its empowering potential, Studyblr has been critiqued for perpetuating perfectionism and romanticizing productivity. The aesthetic emphasis can lead to a performative culture where the appearance of studying becomes as important as the actual work done. This dynamic mirrors broader critiques of social media platforms where curated self-presentation can mask internal struggles and contribute to anxiety or imposter syndrome.

Studyblr also functions as a digital safe space for marginalized students, including LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent learners, and those with mental health challenges. The community often provides emotional support, practical advice, and solidarity across identity lines, creating an inclusive environment that is often lacking in traditional academic institutions.

Tumblr’s platform design—featuring reblogs, tags, and anonymous messaging—facilitates the decentralized and viral nature of Studyblr content. The use of tags like #studyspo (study inspiration), #productivity, and #studentlife allows for rapid content discovery and thematic categorization. Reblogging allows users to build upon others’ posts, adding commentary or visual remixing, thus fostering a participatory culture.

Many Studyblr users extend their presence across platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and, more recently, TikTok. These migrations have contributed to the cross-pollination of related communities like Studygram (on Instagram), Studytwt (on Twitter), and StudyTube (on YouTube). Each of these platforms introduces distinct norms and media affordances, but they share common themes of academic productivity, peer support, and aesthetic curation.

While not formally recognized by most academic institutions, Studyblr can have measurable educational benefits. Its emphasis on goal-setting, reflective practice, and resource sharing encourages students to engage more deeply with their learning. It can enhance intrinsic motivation and help students develop executive functioning skills such as planning, prioritization, and time management.

However, critics argue that Studyblr may reinforce elitist or exclusionary narratives. The idealized images often feature expensive stationery, minimalist furniture, and uninterrupted time—luxuries not all students can afford. Furthermore, the emphasis on constant productivity may inadvertently glamorize overwork and contribute to toxic hustle culture.

There is also a tendency toward Eurocentric and Anglophone academic norms, which may marginalize students in non-Western contexts. While some Studyblr users challenge these biases by posting in other languages or highlighting alternative educational systems, the dominant aesthetic and rhetorical style remains rooted in Western liberal education ideals.

A distinctive feature of Studyblr is its intersection with mental health discourse. Many users openly discuss their struggles with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other psychological challenges. This openness creates a dual narrative: one of ambition and productivity, and another of vulnerability and resilience. It also reflects broader generational shifts in attitudes toward mental health, particularly among Gen Z and late Millennials.

Self-care routines, therapy experiences, and coping strategies are frequently discussed alongside study schedules and exam prep. This integration of mental wellness and academic performance represents a holistic approach to student life that stands in contrast to traditional educational discourses that often neglect emotional labor. However, this discourse is not without tension—there is an ongoing debate within the community about whether the focus on aesthetics and high achievement can undercut genuine mental health advocacy.

Studyblr is more than a niche interest group—it represents a convergence of education, technology, identity, and aesthetics in the digital age. As of the mid-2020s, while Tumblr’s overall user base has declined from its peak, the Studyblr ethos continues to influence newer platforms and educational content creation. The cultural DNA of Studyblr can be seen in online productivity communities, Notion dashboards, digital journaling apps, and even remote learning pedagogies that emphasize autonomy and engagement.

Its legacy lies in reshaping how students view learning—not merely as a path to grades or degrees, but as a personal, expressive, and communal act. Studyblr illustrates how digital communities can serve as sites of both empowerment and critique, offering new possibilities for how we understand motivation, knowledge, and the lived experience of education in a connected world.

Summary: What if Stray Kids went to Hogwarts?

Pairing: none

Genre: headcanons

Warning: none

Word count: ~900 words

Comment: (The reason for the sorting is based on them irl and my opinion of them while the Headcanons are non-idol!). I do not support JK Rowling’s statements but Harry Potter is my childhood so I gotta suck it up rip. Not letting drama ruin my childhood :( prompted by SKZ in London and pics

Requested by: no one

Written: 19.01.2025

Taglist: @skzdreamer13 , @rayzyart , @blueohs

Gryffindor

Seo Changbin

Why: he is loud and incredibly brave when it counts. He is that reliable guy who will help you when things get tough and when it isn’t easy to do so. He ain’t ashamed of being himself (whether it is acting cute or showing off his muscular gains)

Headcanons: he was definitely on the quidditch game as a chaser (or keeper) but then moved to commenting after a few too many close calls. He isn’t very good at explaining what goes on but his reactions and energy are contagious. Definitely fails potions at least once. He is not a great student but he does his best. He often gets points reductions for breaking stuff with badly cast spells.

Kim Seungmin

Why: he is incredibly honest and bravely telling things that aren’t particularly easy to admit straight to people’s faces. He isn’t an extrovert by any means but he knows how to stick up for people. He will proudly voice his thoughts despite all risks that may come with it.

Headcanons: this guy was made to be a prefect. He mostly became one for the prestige and perks but he is also incredibly disciplined which means he’s both a good one and a pain for any trouble maker. He is a very good student who’s well liked by all professors because he doesn’t cause any trouble. He is definitely one of the best beaters on the quidditch team.

Ravenclaw

HAN

Why: he is super creative and thinks outside the box a lot. He also loves learning. (Though his interests change all the time). He is also fairly smart and quick to learn.

Headcanons: definitely one of the most scatterbrained of all. He is known for being a genius and he does surprisingly well in most subjects. He is always interested in new magical artefacts and trying new spells (or even creating new ones). He loves to be a commentator during Quidditch games.

Hyunjin

Why: just like HAN, Hyunjin loves creating and art. While he is not incredibly smart per se (I mean… paboracha leader), his creative thinking earned him a spot in Ravenclaw.

Headcanons: one of the most popular students on campus, he loves looking around and admiring the portraits and architecture. Definitely a more artistically gifted student than academically but he manages. He definitely had (at some point) a remembrall but he lost it.

Hufflepuff

Bang Chan

Why: Chan is incredibly caring and lives for the members (so his friends and family). He isn’t really into personal glory or grand gestures and while he likes learning, he craves love. Taking care of people is in his nature and he values his personal relationships above all.

Headcanons: he got pushed into the role of prefect (and then Head Boy). He was made to be a leader and, despite his protests, he got pushed into it. He actually enjoys it and is fairly lenient (not at first but as he got less sensitive), especially on younger guys (aka I.N). He used to be in the quidditch team as captain and keeper but he quit to focus on his role as Head Boy.

Felix

Why: this guy is a cuddle bug and a ray of sunshine. He loves people and people love him… self explanatory, really. Plus he is not really brave (that’s not his core trait. Like he is brave in some aspects but that’s not the point).

Headcanons: this guy knows everyone and I mean everyone. The moment you step food on Hogwarts grounds he is there to greet you with a smile. This super sweet guy didn’t get on the team but he is an avid Wizard Chess player. At any time he is ready to play whatever (though he gets angry easily when things go horribly bad for him). He loves to hang out at Hogsmade. He is quite good in potions.

Slytherin

Lee Know

Why: he can be intimidating/scary at first but he really isn’t. He is incredibly driven and ambitious (so Slytherin) and he is always trying to improve himself. He is also very playful and a bit of a troublemaker. He is very clever and resourceful but not necessarily in an out-of-the-box way.

Headcanons: he is thought to fit in with the “mean” Slytherins and to be about to become a dark wizard (based on his looks and attitude) but he is actually a really nice guy. He became prefect (for the perks) but he does the bare minimum. He is the first to cause some mischief so he turns a blind eye a lot. He is particularly gifted at Care for magical creatures and potions.

I.N

Why: first of all, this guy is ambitious. He wants to improve and prove himself (to literally everyone, even though we already think he’s awesome). He is also very resourceful and disciplined. He believes in the need to respect formalities (aka a bit of a tradition lover) and can be strict about it.

Headcanons: he is a very good student who tries his hand at pretty much everything, looking for his perfect match. He really likes the competitive aspect of duelling so he is interested in Defense against the dark arts and Transfiguration. He became a seeker because he liked the game and team though he is a bit struggling due to his clumsiness.

feel like posting about my Freaks but instead I'll post about the setting inhabited by my Freaks.

At The Arcane University takes place in 2053, in part of what used to be Wisconsin- the United States no longer exists as an entity, having been broken up after a second Cold War sort of situation around 2004 (the current big dog in town is China).

the titular Arcane University is part of an international organization called the Falke Institute, and the Madison campus is one of many around the world established to study magic- Campus 16 is by far the largest in terms of surface area and population, effectively being a self-sustaining city of about 90 thousand people.

magic has only really been properly understood as a science since about 1960, although its study has made it clear that magic has always been a subtle background element in human history. since the 60s, Aetheric Studies has led to massive advancements in essentially every other scientific discipline, from clean energy to agriculture to magnetic tape storage media.

Campus 16 (est. 2023) is partly an experiment by the F.I. to test a whole bunch of Aetheric technology mostly focused on sustainable food and energy production. everyone attending and working at the Arcane University is ultimately part of this experiment- students and staff are provided basically-free housing and amenities, with the understanding that everyone is expected to contribute to the common good and general campus upkeep.

given its size and enormous population for a university, Campus 16 is split into six Districts in an attempt to make management and coordination easier: the four main University Sub-Campuses (Allard, Hayes, Tai, and Belmonte, sometimes called Houses) which each contain student & staff housing, academic buildings, and various student services and recreational areas; the Daris District, a relatively small administrative area; and the Common District which encompasses the bulk of Campus 16's support infrastructure for food, power, transportation, etc.

some notable staff: Rector Ikaros Dume, head of the University Court; the four Housemasters: Deborah Kranz (Belmonte), Arran Darrow (Allard), Tugev Vasarraseppä (Tai), and Nalini Bhattacharya (Hayes); the Administrative Head of Housemasters, Raisa Böhmer; Tjeerd Geels, Chief Civil Engineer.

in addition to various magic disciplines, martial arts of various denominations are taught throughout Campus 16. every other winter season, there's a University-endorsed tournament arc.

okay that's it for tonight. maybe I'll post about my freaks tomorrow.

[winnterreise]

hello! please, if its no trouble (i 100% understand if im asking too much, i know itd be a bit of work >_<) would you ever be willing to write an analysis of reiji? at least a summary? i adore DL and have for years, but ive never been able to quite understand his character and why he does what he does! (i am a tripletologist lmao i focus on them) i adore your blog and the way you discuss reiji! id love to hear from someone like you what reiji is all about and what makes him tick :) only if its okay though! youre extremely cool!

-resident guy who loves character analysis

Hi! Of course! Take my words with a grain of salt though because it’s always easier to understand a character when you’ve had similar experiences.. I’m a very lazy and unenthusiastic person so I hope you’ll understand🧍I adore characters like Reiji because of how drastically different they are from me. Unfortunately I cannot afford to write a full analysis as of now because I haven’t gone through all the games yet! The amount of reading and note taking I’d have to do (outside of the two games I already played) would probably be like writing an academic paper… I’d love to dig deeper but unless I’m super free and motivated please don’t set your expectations to high for me! That being said I’ll try to summarize my thoughts here.

I feel that he grew up to be the way he is because fate was simply just that unfair to him. It’s no surprise that one will develop some sort of coping mechanism if they failed to receive proper care and support when they were younger. In Reiji’s case, I feel like he’s had a competitive personality since the very beginning, and that he isn’t that type to simply sulk because life isn’t treating him well, but he’d strive to become the best he can so that Beatrix might at least cast a glance at him. Because of that, he’s set out the same sort of expectation for everyone else around him.

And then there’s Shu who received so much attention but is also put under tremendous pressure. I won’t go into detail about him, but he has his reasons for wanting to escape from what is thrown at him, too. I don’t blame either of them for turning out the way they did, but Reiji did have to live his life in resentment for Shu, an uncomfortable reminder of how little his mother seemed to care for him. A lot of this is just surface level, though. When it comes to family, especially vampires whose true ages remain a mystery, there is no singular emotion that can sum up the nature of their bonds. My guess is that Reiji doesn’t exactly ‘hate’ Shu so much that he wishes genuine death upon him, or else he’d probably attempted a long time ago. Shu might be a bit of a lost cause to him, wasted potential, one who threw away and did not cherish anything that was given to him.

Now imagine harbouring all of these negative emotions for your entire life while unconsciously having an inferiority complex, becoming obsessed with your own worth and abilities just to prove a point that you are someone that matters. This is probably also the reason why he appears so strict with Yui. There’s definitely some sense of projection. He’s ridiculously disciplined and expects the same level of dedication from everyone else, expecting them to prove their worth as he tried or still tries to do. I feel that he didn’t allow himself to display any weakness, and so despised it when he sees signs of that in others. His way of caring for others I expect would also be twisted in a some way. He genuinely believed that discipline, control, and constant self-improvement is important to survival. It’s all he’s ever known, probably.

Lastly, someone did a wonderful character study a while ago. It’s much more elaborate than what I have here. I really like their take on him.

“Taekwondo: The art of self-defense”

Carljames Niño Taekwondo journey began at age seven, during his 3rd grade year. His earliest memories of participating in taekwondo were filled with excitement and nervousness. He remember learning the basic stances and kicks, struggling perfect them but he enjoying every moment. The first time he broke a wooden board was one of his proudest moment it made he feel strong and confident. Mastering the discipline and techniques, especially flexibility and balance, presented significant challenges, as did overcoming his fear during sparring. However, consistent practice, guidance from his coaches, and gradually building confidence through training and competitions helped him progress. His instructors and senior athletes served as role models, their skill and dedication shaping his mindset and emphasizing the importance of perseverance and hard work.

Balancing training with school and family was challenging for him but he managed it by sticking to a structured schedule. He made sure to complete his schoolwork before training sessions and used it free time wisely. His family also supported him by helping his schedule and encouraging him to stay focused on both academics and taekwondo. Minor injuries, like bruises and muscle strains, were frustrating, but he recovered physically through rest and proper exercises, and mentally by maintaining a positive attitude and using setbacks as motivation. He found that consistent repetition of techniques, combined with strength and flexibility training, was highly effective, improving his speed and accuracy. He handles the pressure of competition by focusing on his training and trusting his preparation. Before major events, he manages his nerves through deep breathing, visualization, and reminding himself to stay calm and confident. Music and light stretching also help him relax and focus.

Elias Drake-Thorne

— / — / —

Face Claim: Jonathan Bailey

———

Full Name: Elijah Henry Drake Thorne

Age: 26

Height: 5’11

Zodiac Sign: Virgo (reserved, analytical, and observant)

Nickname(s):

“Elias” (tends to have a softer, more modern sound compared to the traditional)

"Eli" (a casual version of his name)

"The Silent Observer" (due to his quiet and observant nature)

“Eli-Bear” (it’s what his mother used to call him)

Relationship Status: Single

— / —

Personality

Elias Drake is a figure of quiet strength and subtle complexity. His reserved nature allows him to carefully observe and analyze situations from the sidelines, stepping in only when he feels he has a complete understanding. This calm and stoic demeanor often masks a more impulsive side, revealing a slightly rash and temperamental edge when things don’t go as planned.

Despite his reserved exterior, Elias exudes a quiet confidence. He doesn’t need to be loud or overt to make an impact; when he speaks, people listen. His calm and gentle mannerism makes him approachable, yet he tends to be soft-spoken and slightly sarcastic, especially around new people. His empathetic nature allows him to offer kindness and support, though this is reserved for those he truly believes deserve it.

Reserved and Observant: Prefers to stay on the sidelines and notice details that others might miss, giving him an edge in understanding complex situations.

Quietly Confident: Makes a strong impression without needing to be overtly loud; his thoughtful insights and calm presence often capture attention.

Independent but Collaborative: Enjoys working alone but understands the importance of teamwork and collaboration when necessary, balancing solitude with cooperation.

Slightly Rash: Although generally measured, he can act impulsively when his temper flares or when faced with significant challenges to his principles.

Kind but Selective: His kindness is genuine but selective, extended to those who earn his trust and respect. He is gentle and supportive but discerning about who receives his warmth.

Protective and Loyal: His loyalty is unwavering for those he cares about deeply. Elias’s protective instincts ensure that he stands by and defends his loved ones, even if he seems distant to others.

Quirks and Interests:

Bookworm: Though he enjoys reading, he has a stronger passion for films and often uses them as an escape.

Slight Temper: He tries to keep it in check but can be a bit hot-headed when frustrated.

———

—Background 🗞️

Elias Drake-Thorne grew up in a gritty, crime-ridden neighborhood of New York City, an environment where survival demanded caution and sharp instincts. His family lived on the fringes of society, often struggling to make ends meet, but they instilled in Elias the importance of resilience and intelligence. The loss of his parents instilled a deep desire for justice, but unlike the flashy superheroes he saw on the news, Elias preferred to operate in the shadows.

His quiet and observant nature helped him navigate the dangers of the streets, but it also set him apart from others his age, who often resorted to louder, more aggressive means of coping.

Struggles in School:

Academically, Elias was never the best student. He found it hard to focus on traditional subjects that didn’t capture his interest. However, when it came to technology, engineering, and creative writing, he thrived. Teachers often noted that while Elias lacked discipline in some areas, he excelled when left to explore topics on his own terms.

He was the kind of student who would rather figure things out through hands-on experience than by reading textbooks. His self-directed learning led him to develop a keen understanding of technology and electronics, often repairing gadgets or inventing small devices for fun.

— | — | —

Career at Stark Industries:

Eventually, Elias’s natural talent with technology earned him a spot at Stark Industries as a tech consultant. Despite his unconventional academic background, his skill set made him an asset to the company. Elias was particularly valued for his ability to think outside the box, offering creative solutions to complex problems.

While he kept a low profile, preferring not to attract attention, he found satisfaction in contributing to projects that supported the Avengers and enhanced Stark’s technology. His job allowed him to quietly play a part in protecting the world, even if he was never on the front lines.

Passion for Writing:

Though technology became his career, Elias’s true love has always been storytelling. He developed a passion for writing early on, finding solace in crafting narratives that explored justice, corruption, and the complexities of human nature. In his free time, he began writing investigative pieces, focusing on the darker, hidden parts of New York’s criminal underworld.

His reserved nature made him an excellent investigator—people rarely noticed him, and he was adept at blending into the background. His articles, though often published anonymously or under pseudonyms, became a way for him to expose the truths others were too afraid to confront.

————

—|—|—

—Likes ☕️

Iced Coffee: Elias has a penchant for iced coffee, which keeps him alert during long nights of work or writing.

Drama Shows: He enjoys drama shows, particularly those with complex characters and intricate plots. He finds them a great escape and a source of inspiration for his own writing.

Mac & Cheese: A comfort food that reminds him of simpler times; he often makes it for himself when he’s feeling nostalgic or in need of a quick meal.

Simple Fashion: Prefers understated, practical clothing—jeans, simple tees, and comfortable shoes. He values functionality over fashion trends.
