Soulmate AU

———Kratos———

- He didn't believe in soulmates until he met you

- He really didn't believe soulmates because he had two wives before you

- "Soulmates? Hm. Fate is unreal.”

- Well, that was until he met you.

- Your connection: you both had a hidden tattoo that when you were close to each other, moved towards the other. Once you guys were together, the tattoos seemed to fuse and make markings.

- Ex: Your tattoos are Sköll and Hati, they were hidden by your armor / clothes. When you two were close to each other, the tattoos began moving towards one another. When you two spoke to each other for the first time, they moved towards your neck, came off your bodies, and spun around each other. After, your tattoos had each other's wolf with your previous wolf. They would sometimes spin, but other wise they were still.

———Freya———

- She did believe in soulmates

- She was sure that prophecies would always happen; that was why she was sure that soulmates were real

- She was kind of upset when Odin made her to be his wife after his previous soulmate died

- She started to believe that soulmates weren't real

- "Soulmates? Odin ruined my previous chance for one... now, maybe I can get a chance for something new..."

- Your connection: a mark / tattoo that changes color to the others emotion, only works for strong emotions.

- Ex: Freya feels sad, Y/N's tattoo is blue. Freya's tattoo is barely able to be seen while Y/N doesn't really have a strong emotion.

———Atreus———

- He was taught that soulmates were fake

- Yet he did somewhat believe in soulmates after seeing prophecies come true

- "Oh. Soulmates? Yeah, my dad didn't believe in it, yet I do."

- Your connection: Probably something like speaking telepathically a little bit before you two met. It only works if you want to talk (sometimes, you might speak telepathically on accident.)

- Ex: Atreus could be in Alfheim, you're at Sindri's house, and he checks up on you. Y/N? Are you alright? | Yep!

———Mimir———

- He did believe in soulmates

- He believed in it because he knew almost everything

- (in this Au, Mimir was never with Sigrún, but instead best friends)

- "Soulmates? Of course, (Sister/Brother/Sibling)."

- Your Connection: You two cannot lie to each other & glow when you first touched

- Ex: when you first touched, you both glowed like lamps. If one of you tried to lie to the other, the other would know when the one would lie.

———Sindri———

- At first he didn't believe in soulmates

- "As I once said. If I believed in fate, you think I would wash my hands this often?"

- But then he met you and realized that they were real

- Well, at least he realized that he liked you

- And that the things he thought was a coincidence were actually because of your connection

- Your connection: If one of you gets hurt, the other gets flowers (or something like them)on the same spot. If the wound is long, then multiple flowers. This will not happen with bruises, only for scratches or something like that.

- Ex: Sindri gets hurt on his hand, Y/N gets a flower on that spot. Or vice versa

Sorry all of these were lazy and I couldn't get any ideas

[Edit: im swapping Thor and Sindri's so uhh sorry about that]

[[Edit edit: Im switching Sindri's and Atreus's cause sindri likes flowers in my head canons :)]]

new year, new you,,,,,,,

ITS SCARA’S BIRTHDAY WHOOOOOOO 🥳🥳 thank you for being born you have infested my thoughts for the last year and a half like a cockroach and i literally cannot get rid of you no matter what i do <3

[alevens]

zolu is maybe one of the easiest ships i've ever liked. they're dating, except when they're not, they're best friends even when they're kissing and they're still captain and first mate when they aren't. they hold hands, they hug. they have sex. they don't.

Luffy can hold Zoro's katanas and Zoro can hold Luffy's strawhat and no one bats an eye. one says "You're so cool!" and the other says "You're strong" and it's just another way to say "I see you, this is why I follow you/this is why I trust you". it's not seeing each other for a long time and still knowing how the other's steps sound like against wood and sand. the captain runs and the first mate follows. it's always "Zoro and the others" and "Where's Luffy?"

if they're just friends, if they're something more, if they don't have a label for it, at its core, it's just about how they get each other. they understand how the other's mind works. however you view them, it doesn't erase they fact that they love each other in a way they don't love other people.

Fernando Alonso & His Relationship With Cards

I'm sure we're all familar with the cards on the back of Fernando's Vegas GP helmet by now, but did you know his relationship with cards goes a lot deeper?

I. Magic Tricks

You've probably seen or heard someone at least mention Fernando's propensity for card tricks. As far as I can tell he was doing them(publically) as far back as 2003 all the way to as recently as 2018. Even once performing a card trick, with a condom and a teddy bear(!??!?!??!!), in front of Valentino Rossi who said "How was that possible?"(x)

But how did this start? According to James Allen, "Fernando admits to having been heavily influenced by his grandfather, a mercurial figure, who taught him magic and card tricks, still one of his passions away from the race track."(x) And I'm not sure the validity of this one, because I couldn't find an actual source, but apparently he once said: "My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks. They bought me my first go-kart and a magician's kit."

In several interviews he described it as his hobby off track, and that he loved learning new tricks and surprising others in the garage with them! So clearly cards are pretty important to him both as a hobby but also to who he is as a person since they've been with him just as long as racing has.

II. Card Symbolism in His Helmets

This is the reason I originally made this post, but I thought I should also explain the origins of his card fascination first. As I said, we probably all remember the cards on the back of his helmet in Vegas, but did you know that wasn't the first time he had cards on the back of his helmet?

From 2008-2013, he used to have a pair of cards on the back of his helmets. The symbolisms of the cards themselves as well as the evolution of their design is really fascinating to me! Even more so with the recent development of the card choice in 2023.

Fernando said he wanted to reference his two titles in some way on the back of his helmet and after his friend sent him several ideas, he decided on having two cards(an ace of clubs and an ace of hearts, sometimes pictured with 05 and 06 on them as well), saying: "I picked the cloverleaf [the ace of clubs - Ed] to give me luck, but the only pity is that it doesn't have four leaves!"(X)

2008.

Here's the very first appearance of the cards! They're displayed flat, with the 05 and 06 clearly visible

2009.

Very similar to 2008, but with a slightly different design, and they're maybe a bit more straight with less shadow?

2010.

This is the first major change! I was sad they didn't have the years on them anymore, but then I realized they're sparkly to match with his signature lightning bolts on the top of the helmet!!

2011.

Honestly I'm still somewhat unsure if this is the actual 2011 helmet? It's pretty difficult to find clear photos of the back of helmets from older seasons. It's easiest to find them on replica sites or auction sites so I'm not 100%? But anyways, I like that this has the championship years on the underside of the cards

2012.

This is when I started getting weirdly emotional about the helmets. Do you see how they've progressed from being a centerpoint to being curled up and sad at the bottom of the helmet? Not listing the year anymore??

2013.

Same thoughts as 2012. And after this season, they cease to exist (just like his ferrari chair in the garage, WOAH CALLBACK), until cards make a reeappearance in his Vegas helmet, albeit in a different form

2013 Monaco(Honorable Mention):

For some reason 2013 helmets were easier to find proper pictures of, so I happened to witness this absolute beauty. The creativity of this helmet genuinely blows me away??? Wanting to keep the card motif, but making sure to incorporate it into the rest of the puzzle piece design?? Mwah! There was another special 2013 helmet but they didn't change the cards at all so I really applaud this one

2023 Las Vegas(The Return of The King):

The magnificent return! But look! The cards are different cards! Instead of being two aces, it's now an ace of hearts, a four of hearts(his driver number of course!) and, the, now iconic, representation of himself as a Joker. I literally could not believe my eyes when this helmet was released and I saw the Joker card, what a fucking silly old man....I really wonder if he felt nostalgic having cards on his helmet again or if he didn't think about it all and was just like, "ah cards because Vegas!!!"

III. Why Does This Matter?

*The rest of the post was factual, this is moreso my personal thoughts on the symbolism of the cards/designs

This post spawned from me recently watching the 2010 Bahrain gp and noticing "hey wait a minute...are those CARDS ON THE BACK OF HIS HELMET!?" It's a really tiny detail that's unfortunately covered up by the HANS device pretty much whenever he's wearing the helmet, so it's really difficult to spot! But I became fascinated with the fact that he had cards on his helmet before that recent helmet, and now here we are!

There's something to me about how the design of the cards evolves over the course of six seasons from the cards being front and center to being smaller, more folded up and closer to the bottom of the helmet. As I said, the 2012-2013 ones genuinely made me depressed because it feels, symbolically, like his hopes for getting another Ace are becoming more and more unlikely and falling away until they eventually fall falt and fade away entirely after 2013 and disappear for basically a decade.

But when they return? They're not the same cards! Instead of representing Fernando's championships, they now represent him as a person, displaying his driver number and his persona of being a Joker!! Though I do think it's interesting he happened to keep the Ace of Hearts, even though he talked more about the Ace of Clubs before. I'm not sure it's actually this deep in reality, but I like to think that it's him not letting his championships(and the lack thereof) define him, but rather letting who he is as a person shine and be the centerpoint instead! But on a sadder note, as @suzuki-ecstar said to me, maybe the Aces aren't there anymore because he's lost all hope for a chance at a third Ace entirely :(

The Mario movie was cute, best scenes are the ones with the bros just being. Bros.

Peppino is their cousin. That's it, that's the funny.

And per tradition? I guess? Some more (unfortunately Mario-less) doodles under the cut.

... Yeah. Twinsomnia again. These damn sibs are still on my brain. They're here to - Oh? Oh, Peppino's not a kid? They had the wrong address? Oh well. Might as well help him get through the tower!

Something-something functioning as a single character, something-something throwing each other around, something-something basically Gus and Brick.

Some more self-indulgent crossover'ish nonsense...

Same mirror, same man, different time, different reflections. Shoutout to @/rascal-rose for the idea of young Peppino having curly hair!! I cherish him.

And some wholesome stuff to top it off. (I feel like my handwriting is especially bad on the last one, so just in case, it goes "Buongiorno, ranocchio. Do you want the coffee?".)

Without colors or context, this simple and stupid comic of mine feels so, so tense; It's ominous. The difference from the tone of my last doodle is low-key hilarious though. But please, *insert ace joke here* cause I swear this is nothing serious. I don't even know why I gave in so much effort or show ya'll my progress before finishing, yet here we are. -Bubbly💙

Holy shit I thought I'd seen the worst and laziest gimmick blogs already. Congrats on setting the bar even lower.

@#$_&-+()/*"':;!?,.~`|•√π÷ק∆£¢€¥^°={}\%©®™✓[] get a fucking job

jokes on you asshole, i am in school most of the day and have multiple hours of homework every night. i just ride the bus for two hours to and from school and know how to use a queue

and you? do you understand how much work i put into this blog? how much i've learned about various punctuation so that i—with time i could easily use doing something else i might add—can tell people about things that i find interesting? i doubt it because you just have a hate filled heart from what i can see, picking on blogs that you find lazy because you can't even bother to dig.

i would have just left this in the inbox; but i really do feel like showing everyone what a fool you are. i mean, come back when you know all the brackets and dashes and have read at least one book about punctuation and then you can talk about who's the "laziest gimmick blog"

and no, i am not justifying that keyboard smash of an attempt to get more punctuation. if you want to talk about lazy bud? take a look inwards, perhaps.

found out while putting together matthias's oc page that his name has the exact same etymology and meaning as theo's name...

i’m sure this is information matthias is very normal about…

Cringetober #3 - Unnecessarily complex fit! A bit late, but I still had fun with it! Too... Much fun seeing as, again, this was supposed to be simple but I ended up going totally ham on it. Oh well, helps pass the time while my brain is still scrambled eggs from being sick.

I don't have much to say aside than I LOVE Scene Misty's whole design. She's... Perhaps not exactly true scene, but has some essence of it with the rainbows and patterns and many decorations. (So sad you can't see the GIR keychain in this one </3) ...And it's what people have been calling this design, so I'll use that name too. I remember while designing her I was just thinking of things I myself think are cool to add, and stuff Misty would probably like wearing!

Also, another fun fact, when I was a kid and Ms Paint scene cats were all the rage - something I couldn't replicate yet - my main oc was a cat with a side-kick who lived on a tiny cloud that followed them, the cloud changing on their emotions! I now always have an association with clouds and that era, so... Misty here's an total delight to say the least :) Again, a very self-indulgent thing about something close and dear to my heart.

I dunno when I'll get around making finished drawings of these concepts so take these in the meantime.
