#Swatch doesn't acknowledge him

[raviosrupees]

My parent rates LU Link's based on first impressions

[warning foul language, mention of alcohol, and my parents very negative impression of Wars !!! note this is my parents impression based off of the LU concept sketches + descriptions. a lot of em aren't accurate]

TIME

Very God of War, Kratos. PTSD Link.

when all the others are hanging out he's in the cups. He fought the moon? Sounds about right. Everyone else is talking and goofing off and he's got the thousand yard stare.

No one talks about how he cant get a full nights sleep. Please let him nap. Maybe let the owl take a nap too.

*stares at him for a very long time, before taking a sip of mimosa*

TWILIGHT

blond hiccup [httyd] very viking. Humble? Hiccup. Animal whisperer? Does he have a dragon? he turns in to a wolf? good for hiccup. getting over a complicated relationship? ...... h-

OH HE HAS GOATS? I love goats! Love this guy.

WARRIORS

Ah, douchy paladin! Yeah he's got the hip flex, he knows he's the shit. Very prideful? Of course you are. Leader type? Women problems? Not surprised. [said they most wanted to punch this one]

"This one writes himself. On Reddit forums"

FOUR [their 3rd fav]

"eeny meeny hippy genie" They've got the weird flowy scarf hat, they're super tiny! Dwarf.. chaos gremlin-- No that's a changeling! I don't think that's actually a Link, I think they faked their way in. Not that I blame them, its a pretty cool crew to be a part of. Spy for the fae realm.

WILD

5th grade school photo link. He's really excited for his first day of school and has a planner for all of his classes.

Good at navigation? Kudos for being a good boy scout.

Her 2nd favorite.

WILD

"Legolas Link" he likes to run on snow, flip his hair back + forth and shit talk dwarves [changeling doesn't like that]

"takes any questioning of his princess too personally? Why are they questioning his princess in the first place? *squints* Why is he so upset? Feel like maybe we need some codependency therapy-

IDENTITY CRISIS DUE TO MEMORY LOSS???? oh no, there we go, the therapy- INSECURE? THE ONLY ONE THAT FAILED? Dude, I think douchy paladin needs to take him to therapy-, maybe it'll convince him to get some too.

Proceeds to go into a rant about his sheikah tech being called weird magic: "Why are they calling his magic weird? That's rude ! They need to have more open minds, no wonder he's insecure! He just needs to feel confident and supported in his new environment and they're not being very supportive right now!"

*orders another mimosa*

LEGEND [their favorite]

"We've got stoner wizard link..." "Which one?" "He's wearing red, and like a fancy staff with a ball at the end for walloping on people who say he's not a real wizard" He just smacks em and says duh yes I am, but usually he doesn't bother with it bc he's too chill.

He's the Millenial of the linked universe. "Chooses not to be a leader type? 'Nope, Im good, just here for a paycheck not a promotion. Some PTO would be nice. Another adventure? He'd rather start a commune"

"Seems unaffected by his adventures?" Uhh he is though. He's just delusional about it now.

HYRULE

Classic link [true] silent generation, nobody acknowledges him. "just happy to be included," mistaken as a hobbit.

"He's actually a traveler, never stays in one place" "Ah so post adventure Bilbo baggins, who wants to see mountains again."

*starts singing "the road goes ever on and on"*

SKY

Foppy link. Fabulous haircut, cape swooped over one shoulder with the gorgeous coloring, contrasting belt-- he knows color schemes way too well, he could be in project runway.

"Not the leader type? Sure he's too busy worrying about fabric swatches. Views the master sword as a blessing? Yeah, I bet he does."

Very confidently decided his Zelda is a beard.

[[THE STOICISM OF THE FATHER]]

Presenting one of the 28 Swatchling siblings of my AU. Though all Swatchlings are able to change their range of colour depending of their mood or upon request, these Swatchlings were born of a particular colour in the spectrum, which matches with their personalities but doesn't lock them in one single mood (as the mind is fickle and malleable as clay). They are "shards" of the original body of Swatch.

Glace is one of the Swatchlings who has the longest of legs, thus making him taller than average. I drew inspiration from the bird Sagittarius serpentarius for the design of his character. I guess the opposite could be said for Tempranillo (who was born with shorter legs compared to his size and now sports robotic motorized legs as an adult Swatchling).

Glaze is naturally the most impassive of the siblings, being born with an apparent stolidness that hid strange preternatural capabilities for computation. He's regarded as the one to have failed to convert his previous drone personality to the one of a fully fledged independent Darkner. Talking to him requires of a particular technique because Glace is unable to understand nuances. He will take everything literally so one must have great care with the choice of words while asking him for something. He also speaks in the same way as Queen, but with all the feelings removed and in a more hoarse synth voice.

Because of this apathetic nature, usually none of the siblings hangs with him outside of work, only Ciel. Glace was the first to be drafted by Ciel for his personal "guerrilla", admiring his sibling's natural traits and gifting him a weapon on behalf of Swatch, who also acknowledged that such tool would suit Glace to increase the defensive power of his flock and deck better the defenses of the Palace at large. Glace is then seen mostly following Ciel as if he were some manner of personal bodyguard, and the loyalty Glace shows to Ciel is only matched to his obedience to their father. The times Queen has ignored Glace because of taking all of her words in the literal sense are countless, and she only tolerates him around because of his practical usefulness, but would rely on Swatch to issue any commands to Glace. She is jokingly worried about Glace turning against them because she knows about A.I. Being a Crapshoot, and would ask Swatch to take good care of "His Borgling".

In all, despite being a cold-hearted Swatchling, he still has his own moral boundaries, being a zealous protector of his family and of those who is charged to defend. He would be also the only one daring to question Ciel without making this one to burst a fuse. The honesty of Glace is what keeps Ciel sane, as he knows that only subjectivity will come out from the beak of his brother, relying on his input when Ciel wants to hear a second opinion. This steeliness of Glace has tempered the fortitude of Ciel in a positive way, and Swatch has seen this improvement on Ciel after he paired them together for work. He thinks that Glace is what keeps the furore of Ciel at bay, and since then, his squabbles with Marama has diminished somewhat. However, he's still worried that Ciel's paranoias might end rubbing on Glace, but the Swatchling seems to be enduring through all of them in the only way Glace knows: impassionatingly.

As an integral part of the Bird-Butler-Band (BBB), Glace doubles as the beatbox of the group, complementing the keyboard of Tartaglia with a myriad of new electronic sounds. Once his sibling Fenouil composed a score for Glace to sing to and to increase the repertoire of the band. The song was named "Hero Facing the Black Sun" and it was Fenouil's way to say that the one who would never succumb to despair in the event of an apocalypse would be their sibling Glace.

Though his strength is on par with the average Swatchling, his abilities excel at keeping the enemy at a distance while snipping the the weak-points of the target. His weapon of choice is a custom Walter WA 2000 that Swatch made for him, baptized as the Chanterelle Noir. He wields it upside down as he has no need for the scope in order to triangulate the targets with pin-point accuracy.

If not available, he's also able to use any other fire-arm, but has special predilection for his rifle as it was a gift from his father. He can summon and unsummon it at will. Like his father and all of the other Swatchling siblings, he's also able to shed feathers from himself that can turn into dart-like birds to attack enemies in a pinch. These feathers can regrow at will and the amount is tied to Swatchling's remaining stamina.

Along with his siblings, he's a shard of Swatch, embodying the cold-hearted nature of Swatch's subconscious. Swatch keeps special care of him, because Glace reminds him to the apathy he could have succumbed to if not rescued on time by Queen and Tasque Manager. He desires the best for his progeny and wishes for Glace to be always on the side of ORDER and to never side with CHAOS, to avoid his son to fall into that dangerous spiral of nihilism that almost seized his sanity and Darkner heart in the past.

Thanks for reading all of my non-sense (if it makes sense to anybody).

For the fic rec ask meme: 2, 12, & 17!

(referencing this post) || [12 & 13] || [20]

#2 🔁 A fic you’ve re-read several times:

HAHAHAHA this is one y'all already know, hee hee! It's my fave Johnlock fic, and the one I go back to as a palate cleanser at least once a year :)

A Promise Made to Be Broken by PlantsAreNeat (E, 37,018 w., 7 Ch. || Fake Relationship, Pining, Slow Burn, RST, Eventual Relationship, Primarily POV Sherlock) – A young John makes an ‘if we’re still single at 40, we’ll get together’ pledge to a woman who ends up all wrong for him. She keeps reminding him of the promise, and won’t let go of it. John asks Sherlock to pose as his boyfriend at a family wedding, so as to dash her hopes permanently. Sherlock, who has at last acknowledged his feelings for John, reluctantly agrees despite knowing how painful it will be to ‘have’ John, but not keep him.

#12 💘 A fic you couldn’t stop reading once you started

Answered this one on this ask, but I DO have another one I can add!

White Knight by DiscordantWords (M, 69,840 w., 13 Ch. || S4 Compliant/Post S4, Marriage For a Case, Jealous John, Pining John, Janine / Sherlock Fake Relationship, Serial Killers, Case Fic, Undercover as a Couple, Weddings, John is a Mess, Misunderstandings, Wedding Planning, Jealousy, Drunkenness, Love Confessions, Angst with Happy Ending) – Green. The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience. Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it. Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.

#17 ✨ A fic you wish you could read again for the first time

AHHHH I WANT to say A Promise Made to Be Broken again, but I want to try to keep different answers for all of these, so here's a different one I just enjoyed reading so much:

Corpus Hominis by mycapeisplaid (E, 47,709 w., 12 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Case Fic, Fluff, Romance, Frottage, Angst, Anal, Blow Jobs, Rimming, Spas / Massages, Shampoo, Jealousy, Fake Relationship) - John knows the human body intimately. He’s had plenty of opportunity for study as a doctor, soldier, and lover. There’s one particular body, however, he knows very little about. When Sherlock launches himself head-first into a new obsession and they get sent on a case in an unlikely location, the pair discovers each other’s bodies with confusing yet delightful (and sometimes hilarious) results.

[Fic Rec Ask Meme]

EDIT: OKAY I LEGIT JUST REALIZED WHO ASKED THIS ASK. I did NOT purposely choose #12's answer because it was the author asking, I PROMISE Y'ALL. I just read the ask and picked another fic. <3

[qqueenofhades]

35. "Everything went according to plan." Garcy?

35. "Everything went according to plan."

The morning sunlight is full of dust, the whining of a circular saw, and occasional obscenities in an admirable number of languages, accompanied by various bangs, creaks, and thumps that sound like a circus ringmaster is attempting to train elephants in the attic. Downstairs, where she's hanging new drywall and sponging plaster into the cracks, Lucy raises an eyebrow at the ceiling, hoping that the whole kit and caboodle doesn't come crashing through. They were able to buy this house at a steep discount precisely because of the amount of work that it needed, and naturally, Flynn scoffed off the idea of hiring a professional. He would, he informed her, do it all himself, thank you very much. The end, no more debate.

As usual when Garcia Flynn makes up his mind about something, there is absolutely no use in arguing with him about it, and honestly, Lucy doesn't mind. There's something cathartic, therapeutic, about the two of them using their own hands to build a new home together, something that's just theirs and doesn't have the lingering aura of the past, something to take them into the future. It isn't a question of money; they sold Carol's house for several million bucks, Flynn has considerable savings socked away from his well-paid security contractor days, and Denise has quietly arranged for them to receive a generous lifetime federal pension in gratitude for the whole saving-the-world thing. As long as they don't go too crazy, they're set, and besides, it's about the ritual. The making of new meaning, place and space and time. The place that will grow into them, and them into it. A place to come home to every night. Lucy can barely imagine it.

The house is about two hours south of San Francisco, just outside Monterey; you can see the Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Ocean itself, gleaming and blue. It's one of the most scenic and affluent parts of the Bay Area, it reminds Flynn of the Croatian coastline of his childhood, and since Lucy doesn't have to worry about commuting to Stanford anymore, they pretty much had their pick. She isn't entirely sure what she's going to do next, but the uncertainty is part of the journey. The comfort of living in the past was always knowing what was going to happen, for better or worse. The future has no such guardrails, but she's ready for it. She is.

Just then, there's another thump and crash from upstairs, much louder, and Lucy looks up. "Garcia!" she yells. "Everything all right up there? What are you doing?"

Several indistinct grumbles answer her, but a moment later, Flynn descends the creaky stairs, with plaster-of-paris flecks in his dark hair, a smear of wood oil across his cheek, and a generally disgruntled expression. "It's fine," he informs her. "Everything went according to plan. No need for concern."

Despite herself, Lucy laughs. "Does the plan involve dropping things and making an enormous racket?"

"No," Flynn says grimly. "That was an unfortunate side effect. But I need to run to the hardware store for entirely unrelated reasons. Is there anything else you need while I'm there?"

"Pick up some paint swatches," Lucy calls after him, since he's already grabbing his sunglasses and bulldozing for the door. "We can start deciding on what it's going to actually look like when it's done."

Flynn grunts a terse acknowledgement, but by then he's already outside and swinging behind the wheel of his car, a bright red Mustang that he says he has damn well earned for all his years of toiling in sadly Mustang-less purgatory. Lucy can't argue with that, and she glances through the dusty living room window, biting a soft grin. For all his bumps and flaws and sudden unexplained incidents, there is truly nobody else in the world she would rather do this with.

[missarchivistdoodles]

how bout some in general headcannons for deltarune? Do you like chapter 1 or chapter 2 better?

I like chapter 2 better than chapter 1 because it feels larger and more polished. As for general headcannons?

1. Ralsei is a sneaky bastard and you cannot convince me otherwise. He knows too much, he keeps showing up, and he walks with his hands behind his back. Nobody does that unless they're evil! I don't think he's outright evil, but he is definitely NOT telling the truth/the whole story. Also what's in his basement? WHAT'S IN THE BASEMENT GOAT BOY?!?!

2. Spamton & the Addisons are brothers - this is my personal take. I like the idea of family drama and family fluff and reuniting etc. etc., it just gives me warm fuzzies to think of them accepting him back, as you can see from Warning: Battery Low. Which is going to make my other story (working title is Begrudge) an exercise in imagination, because while there is a family reunion, it is not a happy one. ;3

3. Queen was NOT married to Spade King. I get that they're king and queen, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Also she doesn't seem to recognize Lancer at all or really acknowledge him until Castle Town (unless I'm forgetting something?). I also don't think she's a completely batshit insane evil ruler, I think SHE thinks she's a benevolent ruler, but is working in what she believes the best interests of her people are, not what they actually are. Also what the hell is her dialogue? I have so much trouble writing her, otherwise she would have been in more of W:BL.

4. Swatch is the Swatchlings eldest brother, and they care deeply for them. They're not afraid of maice because they always had to protect their younger siblings from them. I do like Swatchton, but I in now way think it's cannon. They could have just as easily been good friends instead of lovers.

5. Susie + Noelle = adorable and I am rooting for them!

6. Mike is the TV character we see at the end of chapter 2 and will appear in chapter 3. This may be more of a hope than a headcannon, but damn am I hoping! I'm also really, REALLY hoping that Toby will see everyone's love for Jevil & Spamton (and the other five puppets to come) and will give them a happy ending through their armor/weapon returning them to their darkner form in the end and letting them live happily ever after in Castle Town.

7. Rouxls Kaard is an adorable squishy man who was abused at the hands of Spade King and is just trying to find a place in the world that fits him, and in doing so he comes across as insufferable and an asshole when really he's desperate to belong and have someone to serve. I think if some of the other characters offered him some patience and sympathy Rouxls could flourish in a job, but...he's just so oblivious about how others perceive him that he's never going to get the chance. Also he's hilarious and whenever I say 'God Dammit' now I do it with a pause between the words.

* (Admittedly, they had not gotten off to a great start. But now that Spammy had been popping up more often and had even come to the café — even if just to Stare at Swatch — perhaps it was time to put all that behind them.)

* (A cup of lemon tea is left beside the blanket for Spammy.)

> spammy doesn't...say anything. he makes no movement or sound to acknowledge that swatch had been near him.

> he clearly did know, though, because after they've left, a small hand comes out from underneath the blanket and moves the cup underneath it.

> he appreciates it.

abt my swap au i forgot to mention but Blue and Spam ARE in love but have an even more complicated relationship.

Bc well Blue is the one that has issues expressing himself, and swap!Spam ISN'T like regular Blue (who's cares a lot (usually too much) and goes out of his way to help those he cares about). In this au Spam is exactly the same as he is in canon before his big shot era- just with the added tidbits i wrote on my post. He DOES have a few sales but not much-so not much confidence, and socially he's not as good as he'd like to be. He says the wrong things at the wrong time, doesn't always get cues or hints and is both blunt and stubborn. Spam HAD his dream of becoming a big shot, but when Blue was the one to achieve that, Spam got very jealous and upset. He was jealous of the success itself, and the fact that his friend was the one to become famous instead of him- unlike regular Blue who was jealous of how Spam idealized Swatch. Spam DID try check back on Blue when the latter started having problems- Spam was still jealous but made an effort to see if his friend was ok; but Blue was already gone. The ensuing guilt and self-hatred Spam felt made him quite depressed and that certainly didn't improve his sales.

Swap Blue is just as mad at his all ex-friends, as regular Spam is- if anything maybe Blue's more mad because he tells himself he WON'T forgive any of them and to just burn these bridges and... Well definitely not move on (he doesn't know how to) but not think of or acknowledge any of them ever again. So when, post-neo, Castle Town has all of them in the same place, Blue prefers to stay a pair a glasses rather than start a scene as he knows he will. Spam manages to see him and one thing Spam is very stubborn, so whenever he manages to see a glimpse of Blue- glasses or not, he runs and keeps trying to start a conversation. At first he (clumsily?) tries to talk as if nothing ever happened; he's ignored to say the least, so he tries other things. He fails each time- is either ignored or gets quick, scathing replies that tell him to buzz off (Blue doesn't swear in this au- Spam does though). But Spam keeps trying- he knows he's not any good and clumsy at best but he really wants to fix things, because he misses his friend (and perhaps crush? Spam himself isn't sure) despite all the bad feelings he had in the past. He knows he's probably more annoying than anything but he just wants things to work, somehow. Spam doesn't want anyone to help him- he wants to fix his most meaningful friendship on his own.

Spam tried everything- pretending nothing's wrong, feign confidence, gifts (he even tried giving some of his own cars (both real and toy ones) since that was one of their mutual interests), apologize (he even tried overdoing it), cry (that one was on accident)- everything except for honesty, because he figured that be the one thing that would break their relationship permanently. When Spam had finally exhausted everything that was written in 'Communication Skills for Dummies' and other such ressources and was about to lose hope to ever be on good terms with Blue again, he finally admitted why he tried so many things- he was his real, blunt and genuine self when he explained his jealousy and the guilt and ensuing depression, and that he, despite his many desperate attempts to fix it all, did understand why Blue felt the way he did- and that he just wished they could 'get back like we used to be in the good ol' days'. But that he didn't know how to do so. And that he wish he did- because maybe it could have all been different, and better for the both of them if it were the case. Blue didn't say anything- but for the first time he truly looked at Spamton and fully listened, without letting his animosity cloud his thoughts. He thought he wouldn't care for any type of apology, especially from HIM, who he was closest to and trusted the most before Blue's big shot era. But he always liked Spam's bluntness and honesty, as in Addison society being falsely engaging with customers AND colleagues is all too common. Blue figured out Spam was less and less honest with each attempt to reconnect, and despite himself wanted his friend to be genuine and unapologetically himself- while Blue wouldn't accept the apology (he was too deeply hurt), he just wanted to know the truth. He was surprised to hear that he wasn't, in fact, the only one to suffer from it- Blue figured his ex-friends never thought of or felt anything for him ever again, after his downfall. So to know he did matter that much to someone warmed Blue's heart, despite himself. He wasn't ready to forgive, but maybe he could start to move on- especially now that he had new friends.

I think afterwards the two aren't as tense around each other, and while they aren't friends they're tolerating each other's prescence. Spamton sometimes makes (more or less awkward) conversation starters (like 'Nice weather today eh?' (there's no weather in Castle Town)), but this time Blue actually tries to answer, and doesn't do so in a sarcastic or dismissive manner. He's not exactly cordial either (he doesn't know how to be anymore, besides his customer service self; despite not being friends he feels his ex-friend deserves better than fake customer-pleasing smiles) but Blue tries. They avoid talking about the past- they both try to move on. I think there'd realistically be 'accidents' from one or the other expressing himself clumsily, and/or crossing boundaries and other such hurtful things, but they both do their best to improve and grow past their mutual social issues. Spam probably ended up accidentally admitting his feelings to Blue, who was confused ('how can ANYONE love ME?', he told himself) but truthfully admitted that he didn't know what he was feeling besides 'lonely', and that he was ready to 'GIVE THIS [Relatinship] A [[Go!]]'.
