Joey B Imagines: Out of My League

————————————————————————-

Summary: Flashback. The story of how you and Joe came to be. Years before marriage and your little family.

Warnings: none, fluff

Pairing: Joe Burrow x reader

Imagine universe: Beginning of… Into The Mystic

A/N: Joe is a senior in high school and you are a junior. It's your first year at Athens HS! Also, most of these students' names are made up.

————————————————————————-

August, 2014

(Joe’s pov)

“Yo! Joey!” - Zach

I turned around to see one of my best friends running up to me.

“First day of senior year!” - Zach

“Yup! Just think about it, we’re like the big dogs now.” - Joe

“Ya know it. I heard that there's this really hot new chick coming from Kentucky.” - Zach

“Well, I don't want any part of that. I've got enough going on with football and schoolwork. Don't be surprised if my next girlfriend is in college.” - Joe

“Damn dude, that was pretty forward. You haven't even seen her yet. This could be your Juliette, Romeo!” - Zach

“I highly doubt it.” - Joe

We rounded the corner to find a few more of the football guys and a few of their girlfriends with them.

“Yeah, her name is y/n.” - Cassidy

“Who is?” - Joe

After making my presence known, Cassidy turned around and rolled her eyes at the sight of me.

“Dude, what was that for?” - Joe

“Shoo, Joe.” - Cassidy

“What, why?” - Joe

“Because I'd rather you leave than explain that we have a new girl just to hear you say you're focusing on football.” - Cassidy

“She’s got a point.” - Zach

“Who's side are you on?” - Joe rolled his eyes

Before Zach could answer, the bell rang, telling us to head to first period.

The group disbanded, and when everyone else went in the direction of the same classroom, I realized I was probably going to be alone in this class.

My first period was chemistry, and sadly, the teacher was notorious for a boy-girl seating chart.

I walked upstairs and found the room. When I walked in, everyone was in their seats already.

Looking for my name attached to a seat number on the board, I found it and then went on trying to find it.

The tables were for two people, and in the back corner where my table was, I saw that a girl was already occupying the other seat.

She was pretty, I won't lie, but I'd never seen her before.

The girl was looking down at her schedule when I sat my stuff down on the table, causing her to look up at me.

A warm smile spread across her lips, and I found myself studying her face a little too long.

“Hi.” - Joe

“Hey.” - you

I sat down next to her, my mind trying to come up with a conversation.

“Enjoying your first day so far?” - Joe

“Yeah, pretty well, you?” - you

“Same. Other than my friend’s girlfriend being rude to me for no reason.” - Joe

She laughed. It was one of the cutest laughs I've ever heard, and it was infectious too.

“I'm sure you didn't deserve it.” - you

“Thank you! I walked up to them, and she just rolled her eyes at me.” - Joe

“Dang man, she has beef with you.” - you

“That's what I'm sayin’. I don't know what I've ever done to her, though.” - Joe

“Ask her.” - you shrugged

“Nah, I don't care that much. Why am I even telling you this?” - Joe

“I don't know.” - you laughed

There's that laugh again.

“I just started unloading on you, huh? Well, I haven't seen you before so tell me about yourself.” - Joe

“Well, I'm a junior, so that's probably why. I'm not that interesting though. I strive for good grades, and I do gymnastics with a side of dance.” - you

“Oh really? I play football.” - Joe

“That's cool.” - you smiled

“Yeah, I’m feeling really good about this season, I just know it's gonna be great.” - Joe

“Well, I wish you luck.” - you

“I appreciate that, and you too. Hope gymnastics goes well.” - Joe

“Thank you.” - you smiled

Before the conversation could go further, the teacher started talking about what we should expect in this class. The teacher didn't stop me and my new seat buddy from talking, though.

As we talked longer, I realized we had a lot in common. I wouldn't be lying if I said she was the first girl I've talked to about Star Wars.

She was really fun, though, and easy to talk to.

Our conversation lasted till the bell rang, and we both sheepishly smiled when we realized that we'd been loudly talking in a quiet classroom.

I stood up and started packing my things. She did the same. The rest of the students were filing out of the room when we both put our backpacks on, seemingly in sync.

“I… I’m Joe, by the way. Joe Burrow, but most call me Joey.” - Joe

“It was nice talking to you, Joey. I'm y/n.” - you

She shook my hand and walked out of the door, leaving me shocked.

y/n… new hot girl from Kentucky.

After talking to her, it felt wrong to refer to her in that way. She was really pretty, but hot isn't a word I like to use when referring to girls.

I hope I have more classes with her. Woah, what am I saying?!

Focus on football, Joe.

——

Sadly, I didn't have any more classes with y/n, but I thankfully had friends in all my other classes.

I had lunch B, and most of my football buddies were in there, but I found myself zoning out while trying to look around the room for her.

Ever since the bell rang in chemistry, I haven't stopped thinking about y/n. It was becoming a slight problem, but it seemed like all I wanted was to go to chemistry tomorrow and talk to her.

After school ended, the football team stayed after school since we had our first home game the same day.

Hours later, we were suited up and ready to go out and stretch.

When we ran out and took the field as the senior quarterback, I was naturally the one leading the pack, but my eyes drifted toward the sideline.

One of the cheerleaders was flipping while the others were in stunts, but when she landed her last trick and posed, I gasped lightly when I saw who it was.

y/n.

That's how Cassidy knew her name! She’s a cheerleader!

“Joe! Where are you going?” - Zach

The sound of my teammate yelling snapped me out of my daydream, and I realized that when the rest of the team stopped running to stretch, I kept going because all I was paying attention to was y/n.

“Oh.” - Joe

I turned around and ran to where I was supposed to be, but when I turned around, y/n was smiling at me. I smiled back.

——

We ended up winning the game, which is always amazing, but even better since it was our home opener.

After walking back into the locker room to hear what the coaches had to say, I showered and packed up to find my parents.

I wasn't at all surprised when most of the cheerleaders were standing outside waiting. Most of their boyfriends were players, so they'd wait after for them.

My eyes landed on my parents and brothers, but as I was walking in their direction, I heard a familiar voice calling for me.

“Joe!” - you

I turned in the direction of the voice to see y/n speedwalking over to me with a smile on her face.

“Hey, y/n.” - Joe smiled

“Hey, you did well! I knew you said you played football but I wasn't expecting that. You're super good.” - you

Is it hot out here all of a sudden? Why is my face heating up?

“Thanks. You're really good too. I know those flips are hard to do. You make it look effortless.” - Joe

“Thanks… sorry I distracted you though.” - you

“Not your fault, I just wasn't expecting to see you. You look uh… good, by the way.” - Joe

“You too.” - you giggled

Just as I was about to say something else, I heard my mom's voice calling for me.

“Sorry, that's my mom. I gotta go.” - Joe

“It's all good. See you in chem?” - you

“See you in chem.” - Joe

As I walked away from her, I felt something I'd never felt before.

Oh no.

——

Next Day

It was Friday and lunchtime.

All my teammates were feeling good after the win yesterday, and sure, I was too, but that wasn't what was on my mind.

This morning in chemistry, I found myself lost in a conversation with y/n again. The disappointment when the bell rang was insane. I never wanted to stop talking to her.

She was just different.

The attention she got from other guys was because of her looks, and she was pretty, gosh, she was pretty… but I didn't like being around her for that.

We had a lot in common and never ran out of things to talk about. She listened to what I had to say and gave great feedback. We talked about our futures and what we wanted to be when we graduated.

I told her about my hopes of going to the league, and what she replied with gave me a flutter in my stomach that I'd never felt before.

“If you make it to the NFL, you have to invite me to come see you.”

I’d known this girl for two days and I was already ready to make that promise.

My mind was so stuck on that altercation that I didn't hear Zach talking to me from across the table.

“Joe? Joe!” - Zach

I flinched slightly and looked up at him, all the guys at the table watching me with weird looks on their faces.

“Sorry… I spaced out.” - Joe

“Anyway, Cassidy told me that y/n was asking about you at their lunch.” - Zach

“What? What'd she ask?” - Joe

Should my heart be beating this fast?

“Asked if you had a girlfriend, I guess. Don't worry, though, Cas told her that you're focusing on football.” - Zach

“Oh. Okay.” - Joe

Is that really what I want?

“She’s so funny to tease.” - Chad

“Seriously, she's got cheerleader brain.” - Max

Why are they talking about her like that??

“I gotta go.” - Joe

I stood up from the lunch table, quickly finding a trashcan and throwing my stuff away before walking out of the lunch room.

“What’s his problem?” - Max

“I don't know, bro.” - Chad

Zach knew because he was right. What he told me yesterday was haunting me.

Romeo, this could be your Juliette.

——

My thoughts ran wild as I went to the office and asked to do some volunteer work.

The receptionist gave me the okay to go down to the middle school for the remainder of the lunch period.

I drove over to the middle school and went up to the office, clicking the button to signal the office worker that I was out there.

When the door unlocked I was able to open it. I did, and whose eyes I met surprised me.

“y/n?” - Joe

“Oh, hey Joe.” - you

“What are you doing here?” - Joe

“Gonna head to a class to volunteer, I have a free period right now. Aren't you supposed to be in lunch?” - you

“Well, yeah, but I had to get out of there.” - Joe

“Why’s that?” - you

Her brows were furrowed like she could hear the slight edge in my voice.

“Some of the guys were saying stuff about you, kinda pissed me off, so I left.” - Joe

“What? You left because of that? I’m used to it, Joe. I'm just a dumb cheerleader.” - you

“You're not, though, that's why I didn't want to listen to it. I've only known you for two days, but I look forward to every conversation we share. They don't know you as I do.” - Joe

y/n placed a hand on my shoulder and smiled at me. Her eyes gave off a grateful look.

“You're the first person who’s made attempts to get to know me, and I appreciate it.” - you

“Not even your teammates?” - Joe

“I love ‘em, but they're not the Star Wars type like you are.” - you

“Yeah… I'm pretty cool like that.” - Joe

“Oh, whatever!” - you rolled your eyes

We laughed with each other before the receptionist cleared her throat. Both y/n and I froze when we realized where we were.

“Oh, sorry!” - you

“You guys can both go to room 379 if you’d like, seems like you two have a spark.” - receptionist

I rubbed the back of my neck nervously, but y/n smiled at the older lady and walked through the double doors into the building.

There weren't any words shared between us as we walked to the room, both of us were thinking about what the woman had said. Do we have a spark?

——

Ten minutes into hanging out with the sixth graders, the teacher sent y/n and me to the copy room.

“Hey, have you thought about formal?” - Joe

“What about it?” - you

Winter formal wasn't coming until December, obviously, but I felt the need to ask.

“Like are you going? Date ideas?” - Joe

“I figured I'd go, yeah. I don't know who I'm gonna go with, though. Might just go with friends, the guys here aren't the best.” - you

“Ouch.” - Joe

“Hey, I don't count you with them. You’re separate.” - you

“I think that's good.” - Joe

“It is. You're a jock, but a nice one, you know? I like you.” - you

My face dropped as I looked at her, feeling my cheeks flush and my stomach flop.

“Not in that way!” - you rushed to say

“Oh… okay.” - Joe

“Why do you act disappointed? I thought you weren't looking for anything and focusing on football.” - you

“I don't know. I thought I was, but you're making it hard to.” - Joe

“What does that mean?” - you

“I barely know you, but I can't stop thinking about you. You understand me in a way I didn't think was possible… you're just different.” - Joe

“I feel the same way about you. You're nerdy but athletic and have these quirks that I'm obsessed with. You're oddly the guy version of me.” - you

“Nah, you're the girl version of me.” - Joe

“Oh, whatever!” - you shoved his chest

I'm feeling a little bold after she told me she can't stop thinking about me either. Should I make a little move?

“You look cute when you do that. You roll your eyes at me but are smiling.” - Joe

“Oh, uh. Thanks.” - you blushed

“You're welcome.” - Joe smiled

——

October, 2014

That's as far as we went talking about it.

Nothing ever came from that one conversation we shared at the middle school. That's the closest thing we ever did that could come close to showing feelings for one another.

We just continued being really good friends who giggle in the back of the chemistry room, but the eye contact we make while I'm on the field and she’s on the sidelines tells me there's something there.

In the past two months, I've concluded that no matter how hard I try to deny it, I have a crush on y/n.

I just don't know how to act on it.

She still thinks that I don't want a relationship right now, so I need to start dropping hints.

The first step of my plan was to ask her to study with me after school, like at my house.

So, when I walked into chemistry this morning, I had that idea in the back of my head.

“Hey.” - Joe smiled

“Morning.” - you smiled back

I sat my stuff down and took my seat next to her.

“I need to ask you something.” - you

“Oh, what's that?” - Joe

“They haven't announced it yet, but I won junior attendant for homecoming.” - you

“Really?! That's awesome!” - Joe

“Yeah, thanks. We have to have a guy from the football team be our escort…” - you

“And you want me to ask someone for you?” - Joe

She looked at me with a “boy, please” look on her face that made me laugh.

“I'm just playing. I'd love to walk you.” - Joe

“Okay, good. Thanks, Joey.” - you

“Mhm. When will you find out who won Hoco Queen?” - Joe

“Not till the game, but if I win, you’ll get a little crown too.” - you

“I get a crown too?? Now you have to win.” - Joe

“I'll try my hardest. You have to help my campaign, though.” - you

“Sounds like a deal.” - Joe smiled

——

Later that week, I met up with y/n during my lunch period and her free period. I helped her campaign, and when she wasn't around, I convinced the football team to vote for her.

I wanted to make sure she'd win.

——

“Junior attendant, y/n y/l/n, escorted by Joey Burrow.”

The announcer’s voice beamed through the speakers as we walked down the middle of the football field. My arm was looped with y/n’s, and I shortened my strides with the length of her heals in mine.

I hadn't seen her till she walked out and looped her arm with mine, but she looked so beautiful.

“You look gorgeous.” - Joe whispered

“Thank you.” - you blushed

We smiled for the camera when we reached the end of the field, and y/n gently squeezed my arm when we walked over and stood in our directed spot.

“You don't look too bad yourself.” - you

Our conversation was drowning out the announcer’s voice, who was reading the short paragraph that y/n wrote a couple of days ago. She'd made me proofread it so many times that I had it practically memorized.

“y/n would like to thank her parents and friends, especially her best friend, who is escorting her tonight.”

That part was new.

My cheeks heated up when I looked down at y/n to see her already smiling at me. She'd never come out and said that I was her best friend, but I couldn't say it didn't make sense.

“Surprise.” - you nudged him

“I'm your best friend, huh?” - Joe

“Yeah.” - you smiled

“You're mine too.” - Joe

“No way!” - you pushed Joe’s chest

“Don't tell Zach I said that, though.” - Joe

Her smile was infectious, and I felt my lips mirror y/n’s expression.

The announcer went on to introduce the senior attendant and read her little background story.

“Now, ladies and gentlemen. Your 2014 football homecoming queen is…”

I reached my other hand up to squeeze y/n’s that was wrapped around my bicep.

“y/n y/l/n!”

“You did it! Go get your crown!” - Joe

She let go of my arm and walked back to the middle of the field.

I watched with a proud smile on my face as y/n was handed a bouquet, a sash draped over her shoulder, and the crown on her head.

There was so much adoration in my heart for her, and when she turned around to look at me, my smile only widened.

“C’mere!” - you mouthed

I slowly walked over to her, and y/n re-looped our arms.

Bowing my head slightly, the crown was put on top of it. y/n laughed at the sight of the crown adorning my forehead.

“Lemme fix that. It's kinda sideways.” - you

She stepped on her tiptoes and fixed it, a blush forming on my cheeks when her fingers brushed down my face when she pulled away.

“You look cute.” - you smiled

“Thanks.” - Joe grinned

——

December, 2014

“Hey.” - Joe

“Oh, hey.” - you

I put my stuff down and sat down in my chair, the same routine since the first day of school. Hopefully, though, today some things will change.

Or at least be set in the right direction to change.

“I need to ask you a question.” - Joe

“Shoot.” - you

“Be my date too formal?” - Joe

I looked at her with hopefulness in my eyes. Please say yes.

“I'm already going with Chad… sorry, Joe.” - you

“Oh. It's okay, I just thought… nevermind.” - Joe

My shoulders slumped as I turned away from her and faced the board, biting the insides of my cheeks nervously.

The one time I shoot my shot with a girl, and I get rejected.

Guess that tells me what my priorities should be.

Focusing on football.

——

“What do you mean Joe’s here alone?” - you

“Yeah, Zach had to practically beg him to even come. Joe said there wasn't any point in going since he didn't have a date.” - Cassidy

“That makes me feel terrible…” - you

“Why?” - Cassidy

“Because he asked me, but I'd already said yes to Chad.” - you

“It's not your fault, how were you supposed to know that Joe was gonna ask you? I mean, he isn't looking for anything right now.” - Cassidy

“Yeah… do you know where he is?” - you

“No idea. Probably hiding in a corner.” - Cassidy

“Chad literally ditched me after pictures. Joe never would've done that…” - you

A few seconds of silence between the two girls went by before Cassidy had a lightbulb moment.

“Do you have a crush on Joe?!” - Cassidy

“What?! No!” - you

“You so do! y/n you should tell him! I honestly think he feels the same way…” - Cassidy

“No… he's focusing on football.” - you sighed

“So you do like him?” - Cassidy

“Maybe…” - you

When you admitted it out loud, it felt real. You like Joe.

Joey Burrow, the quarterback with the nerdy side that only you knew of, the one with the imperfect but adorable smile, the one that made you look forward to first period, your crush.

“I'm gonna go find him.” - you

You walked as fast as your heels allowed you and threw your half-drank cup of subpar punch in the trash can, pushing open the gym doors as Tongue Tied by GROUPLOVE playing through the speakers served as a soundtrack.

Zach wasn't hard to find as a sea of letterman jackets was in the hallway.

“Where’s Joe?” - you

“Oh, hey, y/n! He said he was gonna go take a walk around.” - Zach shrugged

You nodded and walked away toward the academic wing of the school.

Only the generator lights were on, but there was enough lighting to make out that familiar tall frame looking into the trophy cases.

Carefully, so as to not scare him, you slowly walked up behind Joe and tapped his shoulder.

“Hi.” - you

“Hi.” - Joe

“Chad ditched me…” - you

“That sucks.” - Joe

He hadn't even looked up at you yet.

“I'm sorry. If I had known you were going to ask me, I wouldn't have said yes to him.” - you

“S’okay, probably for the better.” - Joe

“Why are you just walking around by yourself, Joe?” - you

“Nothing else to do. Kinda bored.” - Joe

“Wanna go see what teachers left their classrooms unlocked?” - you grinned

Joe’s eyes drifted away from the trophy case for the first time and found yours. A smile pulled at his lips as he nodded his head.

You held your hand out to him, and Joe gladly accepted, clasping his fingers with yours.

There were so many unspoken feelings shared between you two as you made your way down the hallways to find an open door.

“The chem room is open…” - Joe

You gently opened the door and pulled Joe in behind you, the lights being motion-activated turned on as you two walked in.

Joe flicked the light switch back off as the moonlight through the window lit up the room.

Making your way to your table, you and Joe sat down in your respective seats without sharing a word.

“Your dress is pretty.” - Joe

With a longing glance, you examined Joe’s hair, outfit, and shoes.

“Thanks. You look handsome.” - you

“Thanks.” - Joe smiled

A few seconds of silence went by before Joe cleared his throat, immediately getting your attention.

“Uhm… can I be honest with you?” - Joe

“Always.” - you

Here goes nothing.

“I think you're amazing. Talking to you every day makes me want to come to school, and I enjoy every word that's shared between us. You get to see a side of me that many people don't because I feel safe with you. I hope what I'm about to tell you doesn't ruin that, and you might just see me as a friend… but I like you.” - Joe

“In what way?” - you

In all honesty, you knew exactly what he meant, but you wanted to hear him say it.

“In the way that I find myself staring at you all the time because I think you're beautiful, In the way that you give me butterflies when you laugh or smile at me. You are incredible, y/n; gorgeous, smart, talented, crazy athletic, loyal, trustworthy.” - Joe

He paused for a second to scan your face for somewhat of a reaction.

“Now that I think about it, you're so out of my league.” - Joe laughed

“Go on, Joey.” - you giggled

“What I'm trying to say is… I have a crush on you, y/n.” - Joe

“Mr. ‘I'm focusing on football’ has a crush on me?!?” - you

Joe felt his stomach drop at your teasing. He'd just poured his heart out, and was thinking the worst.

“So you don't feel the same way?” - Joe

“What? I didn't say that!” - you

“So…?” - Joe

“I like you too, Joe. More than friends.” - you

“Really?” - Joe smiled

“Yeah.” - you grinned

You two sat there, no words shared, just tooth-rotting grins.

“I've never done this before… what happens next?” - Joe

“I think there's another question you need to ask me.” - you

“Oh, yeah! y/n…” - Joe

He took your hand in his, the size difference making your heart flutter for a second before you shifted your attention back to his beautiful blue eyes.

“Be my girlfriend?” - Joe finished

“I'd love to.” - you smiled

Somehow, your other hand found its way into his. Almost as if magnets were pulling your faces together, you both leaned in.

Your lips molded together so perfectly like you were each other’s missing piece.

Maybe because you guys were.

Joe would forever be grateful that he took the leap of faith and confessed to the girl that he swore was out of his league, for she would become his everything for the rest of his life.

That chemistry room is where you found your first real boyfriend, who would be your first kiss, and unbeknownst to you, you were Joe’s first real girlfriend and kiss as well.

In fact, you were each other’s first everything.

And you'd also be each other’s last.

wow wow! what about an mc, whos first language is not english (assuming the characters or even the whole devildom got forced to learn human and celestial languages), talks with their first lang sometimes! And solomon being the hopeless romantic wanted to stand out from the brothers and flex that he can understand them. so sometimes when the broz are invited to dinner at the castle and they all are chatting mc participates and get asked a question by solomon but trying to translate that train of thoughts to english was tiring so they just decide fuck it we ball and started blabering with "black magic" language (claimed belphie) while the others are like ??????? all while solomon is nodding happily (i lowk see barbatos understanding too)

this is so so silly!!!!! I LOVE stuff that’s just Solomon and Mc being human together, like it’s such an odd thing to bond over but dang it that old man needs it BAD.

Also, I can imagine mc finds it nice and a little comforting to have someone around who’s not only human, but can also speak their first language! Maybe once or twice they giggle at his pronunciation, since I’m sure he knows many languages so his pronunciation gets scrambled sometimes, but apart from that they find it really really sweet(and I wouldn’t be surprised if it got things moving in their relationship faster,). I could totally see mc becoming frustrated or upset and rambling to him in their first language bc the english language just can’t properly explain their feelings,

and adding onto the dinner party, that is hilarious.

I can see Mc turning to Solomon and pausing for a second, stuttering over their words before pausing long and hard to think, the others think it’s a little cute the way they stutter and how they look when they’re thinking.. but then again they think everything mc does is cute. Then a quick look of frustration washes over their face, and everyone gets caught off guard as they just suddenly switch into an entirely different language! Solomon is just sitting and nodding, listening very attentively, while everyone else looks around at each other wondering what is coming out of their humans mouth?? And just as mc is finished speaking and someone goes to question, Solomon responds in their language and once AGAIN everyone is thrown off their groove, some of them turn to S8n for answers, since he’s read through many books about humans, but he’s way to focused on listening in and translating the few words he already knows in his head, belphie leans over to a confused beel and whispers awfully loud “I think it’s just black magic speak,” and Beel simply nods as if accepting this as fact,

eventually barb glances around with a brow raised, keeping his usual smile on his face before chuckling, “you all realize that they’re simply just speaking one of the multiple languages from the human realm, yes?”, luci, s8n, and dia all nod, of course, it was obvious, Luci and dia saw it was mentioned on Mc’s record that their first language wasn’t English, and s8n was a normal person and simply just asked mc what they were saying whenever they slipped a few words from their first language into a sentence. Though the others pause and look a bit embarrassed, mams tries to brush it off as if he was only messing around and pretending to not understand what his human was saying. Levi definitely puts his head down against the table, his face is beet red and he just can’t help but feel ashamed… asmo nods, calmly admitting that it only confused him for a second, but he knew what his lovely mc was doing! …He just couldn’t understand them! Beel glances away looking like a kicked dog and belphie…. Well, I’m sure he couldn’t care less quite honestly, only really humming in response then turning to make fun of mams for trying to play it off.

Mc eventually stops talking with Solomon to give them all a look, then looks back over to him, not switching back into English quite yet, and saying something along the lines of “maybe I shouldn’t speak English around them so often, condition them,” and Solomon laughs and agrees with them as mc giggles as well,

ALSO.

imagine Solomon writing them little notes and poems in their first language and giving it to them, typically with a little gift attached, and it just makes mc’s soul flutter. And when Mc gets frustrated at RAD they’ll squeeze him into a tight hug as they struggle to not loose their mind, only to slowly start to relax as he soothes them quietly in their language. and other times he softly whispers something to them in their ear just.. when he feels like messing with them. it wouldn’t really matter what he’s saying, but it still flusters them, and ofc it’s even better because they don’t have to take a moment to process every single word he just said, and imagine waking up next to him, cuddling and just holding each other, enchanting a few words sleepily, asking how the other slept and small “good mornings” before they both get up to start the day,

and in nightbringer, you can’t tell me they wouldn’t almost strictly talk in mc’s first language whenever it’s just the two of them. And I mean it’s nearly 24/7, they text like that, bicker like that, love each other like that, and it probably brings mc’s more of a sense of stability, I can imagine it’s just a lot more grounding for them no matter what.

Ghostflower Headcanons

As romantic gestures, Miles loves setting up these elaborate (if a little overkill) activities for Gwen to do, whether it's a special occasion or just. whenever feels like it. They're always these elaborate treasure hunts that he'll set up for her to complete. Like for Valentine's Day--Gwen never stirs in her sleep, so he'll surround her sleeping form with lilacs and peonies all around on the bed so she can wake up basking in their scent. Then this gesture will be somehow tooled as the first clue in this elaborate scavenger hunt across several dimensions, each stop being a cute little romantic gesture like a lovely written note or souvenirs from their times together. He'll have like, puzzles that require playing music or reading scores to move forward in the hunt. And Gwen LOVES them. She likes adventures and the ones Miles orchestrates for her always involve her having to use her many talents. She kinda sees Miles' games as a sweet, fun way of staying sharp. ^_^

Miles will mindlessly rub his face against Gwen's cheek whenever when he greets her or bids her farewell after a long day. A lot of people find it a little strange lol, but know better than to judge Miles in front of Gwen.

Ghostflower's petnames....so Miles sucks at pet names. He can't think of any good ones besides whatever he's heard his Mami say to Jeff (so just the usual "mi amor.") Mamita works for her too. But aside from that, all the typical English pet names (so like "honey," "sweetie," etc) just feel weird coming off his tongue, he thinks they're cringe and he hates saying them XD. Besides there's just something about how much he loves saying Gwen's name. He loves her name. It's like music to him. And every new time he says it makes his heart flutter more than the last. Gwen's pet names for Miles on the other hand are very... eherm...varied. Like she does use all the typical English pet names, but she'll also randomly spout some very creative names that have to do with situations they're in or objects she just saw or smth, I hope I'm explaining this right 😭 So for example, "my weighted blanket" (if they were just sleeping), or "cupcake brain," "coffee bean," "my bespeckled cheekster" or some other stupid thing she randomly comes up with on the spot XD.

Gwen is big spoon but Miles will jump off a bridge if Hobie finds out

Lol in fact, a lot of how Gwen treats Miles (fluffy pet names, cuddling him) is stuff Miles never wants Hobie to see XD. So picture Miles melting into Gwen on the couch while she runs fingers through his hair, then Hobie walks in and Miles flings himself right out of Gwen's arms, sitting up straight and clearing his throat, "aherm, wh-whassup' man." And like, Hobie probably wouldn't even give a dang XD. But Miles feels the need to keep up this... intimidating "not some feeble gumdrop" reputation around certain spiders like Hobie, Miguel, and now Peter B, etc.

Gwen hates the heat, she always has to have the AC on or at least a fan in front of her. Sometimes both. But Miles is very sensitive to the cold. So this becomes a dilemma when they're in the same room. Then it breaks out into a back and forth "no it's okay, I can turn it off/No it's okay! I can just put on a jacket!" Eventually they'll reach a compromise: Gwen can have the AC, but she has to cuddle Miles close so he can keep warm.

Miles likes to paint or draw on Gwen a LOT. Like it basically becomes the norm Gwen's their friends and family to see her walking around with what appears to be temporary "tattoos." Sometimes there'll be "Miles x Gwen" in graffiti-styled lettering on her shoulder, or little spider-man chibis with little speech bubbles, or a jumble of illustrations of places they've been to, lyrics from songs he likes, and just colorful geometry painted all around her arm like a tattoo sleeve, or sunflowers on her cheeks, or just random lines and shapes here and there on her knuckles, arms or jawline. Miles will paint on her whenever he has the chance, whether she's in conversation with a completely different person, or she's doing work, writing, eating-anything. She always lets him, she loves it. And when they're alone and he's drawing on her, they'll sit in a comfortable silence the whole time, it's very...entrancing for Gwen when they're alone in a quiet room and he's hardly making any noise while she feels markers and paintbrushes dancing across her skin.

I have a toddler niece and her mannerisms are so cute, she's like in that stage where she's walking/not talking only sounds/wants independence, smiles and laughes and dang its so cuteeee to see her little personailty forming--she's a literal menace, soooo much energy.

SOooo with that how do Toddler Thalia and Pope interact?

I imagine she unintentionally does stuff (pulls out herbs he justttt planted) that gets on his nerves but he's very patient with her because he doesn't want to dim her inquistive nature. And they have rituals she needs to do --like she needs her daddy to do nightime bath time or she fusses. And she wants to have calm down time where she reads books to her dad --its just her pointing and garbling as he turns pages with their heads pressed together ...omg so cute

My nieces are teens now and I genuinely miss their toddler days because they were silly as hell.

Toddler Thalia knows every single button to push with Pope and she also knows exactly what she’s able to get away with. Hawk is the one who has to hold the line with it comes to discipline because Pope will fold like a lawn chair. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when and Thalia knows that.

That’s not to say that Pope is a complete pushover for her. He does hold his ground when it comes to things that he knows she needs developmentally, but the stuff that ultimately doesn’t matter in the long run? He folds.

Neither of them are yelling type of parents, but they treat corrections very seriously because they are raising a future adult who needs to know right from wrong. They both got a taste of what’s to come from Lena, granted she was older than a toddler when she started living with them, but Pope transferred all of the routines he had with her over to Thalia (because in Lena’s words “I’m too old for bedtime stories, Uncle Pope.” It KILLED him when it happened. Hawk had to console him when he told her what happened. Hawk loathed to think of how he’d be when they eventually had an empty nest, but that was many years in the future.).

Pope is the type of parent to let her try and fail, or try and succeed, so she can learn. Hawk just wants to make sure Thalia doesnt hurt herself, but knows Pope is there to supervise. It’s the times she is out of sight that makes Hawk nervous because Thalia is FAST. They had to put a child safety lock on the door to the garage after she decided when wanted to work on mama’s plants and Pope did his best not to lose it and to get everything back in order before Hawk got home.

Hawk had her set routines with Thalia, and so did Pope. But when there was a crossover, Thalia did not like it at all.

“Me and daddy go. School.” She, in fact, did take Lena to school with Pope every morning. It was her favorite thing to do because that meant Pope would take her to the park for about an hour after so she could run off some of her energy so she’d be ready for her usual nap time.

“Not today, baby. You have a doctor’s appointment.” Then she’d give Hawk the Pope look (Hawk could NOT take it seriously but Thalia would get even more pissed off if Hawk so much as snickered in response so she had to keep it in) and wouldn’t say a peep until she saw her father later in the day, who had to explain to her that sometimes things didn’t happen the same way she’s used to and that she’d have to adjust because life happens. And Thalia would give him the look and it was like he was staring into a mirror.

Thalia, in mannerisms and in spirit, was very much a Cody.

A Comprehensive Guide to All the Characters on Lost, Ranked (by me, obviously) - Part One: From Bad to Neutral

Do I need a disclaimer? Needless to say, these are my opinions and my opinions only. I am not the Supreme Authority on Which Characters are Best (though if you want to appoint me as such, I won't complain about it, lmao). If you feel differently than I do, polite and thoughtful commentary is always welcome, and I would encourage you to make your own list so we can compare! Anyway, I think that’s enough. Let’s get to ranking!

This doesn’t cover EVERY character, but it’s pretty dang close. Also, warning, this is LONG. There are a LOT of characters in this show…I kind of forgot that tiny detail until I started doing this, and by that point I was in too deep, so here we are. Don’t worry, I think I made it entertaining, if you feel inclined to indulge me and read it all.

All the way at the bottom of the list, we begin in

The 10th Circle of Hell (Because the 9th One Just Isn’t Deep Enough).

One of the main themes of the show is duality, which is why I have Jacob & the MIB up a level from here (more on that in a sec), but these people (again, in my opinion) are just irredeemable pieces of garbage. The Worst of the Worst. In no particular order:

Susan Lloyd. I don’t know what happened to make her such a miserable garbage person, but I don’t really care, either. Keeping Michael from Walt and the way she went about everything was fucking evil. Michael may not have been perfect, but he wanted to be in his kid’s life, and he deserved a million times better than what she gave him. Being Walt’s mom is the only good thing she ever did, but even that won’t come close to redeeming her in my eyes. At least karma came around for her in the end. Burn in hell.

Anthony Cooper. Do I even need to explain this? Zero redeeming qualities, zero remorse for anything he ever did, actual sociopath. Burn in hell.

Charles Widmore, you selfish, arrogant, stupid man-child. You can argue that he has duality if you want, oh he loves his daughter, he loves Eloise, blah blah blah. No he doesn’t and I don’t care. He doesn’t know what love means. Selfish little boy who learns nothing and only exists to make others miserable. Burn in hell.

Martin Keamy. Dickhead sociopathic probably former frat bro who gets off on hurting people and being in charge of hurting people. Burn in hell.

Woo-Jung Paik. Learns nothing, cares about no one. I truly despise that he probably wound up helping raise Ji Yeon, and then he probably got his fucking company back as well. I hate it and I hate him. Sun and Jin deserved to escape the island and raise their child themselves. Burn in hell.

Wayne Janssen is self explanatory; an abusive asshole who definitely would have also assaulted Kate given any opportunity. Disgusting individual. Am I upset Kate wasn’t a little smarter about what she did? Perhaps. Am I mad he’s dead? Nah. (So many dads on this show suck SO much, I think the writers had some mega unresolved daddy issues, tbh.) Burn in hell.

Sabrina Carlyle, you HEINOUS hag. Shannon was still a child when she lost her dad, she was a literal teenager trying to figure her shit out, and you basically told her to go fuck herself because you thought YOU deserved to keep ALL her dad’s money on top of the millions you already have, and Shannon deserved to be cut off with NOTHING because she was kind of wishy-washy and didn’t know what she wanted to do for the rest of her life at 18? Look, I understand wanting her to work for stuff and not just be handed everything, but FOR FUCK’S SAKE, how disgusting and cruel can you be? “Oh, your dad didn’t leave a will.” BULLSHIT. (I get kind of defensive over my faves, forgive me.) Burn, you guessed it, in hell.

Slightly above them in Satan’s Armpit, we have:

Yes, I am putting the MIB and Jacob on the same level, and it’s not the lowest one. They’re brothers, cut from the same cloth, blah blah etc. There are REASONS the island needed Hurley, things needed to be different. Like come on Jakey, did you really need to go through such a rigmarole to pick a freakin’ successor? I don’t think so. I mean, in the end it got us the Losties all together and stuff, but at what cost? It’s not like Jacob had any idea how any of that would turn out. Meanwhile, he let Ben do all his Ben shit, and let his smoke monster brother kill all kinds of people for no reason while he just went on being Mr. Mysterious “I-Never-Show-My-Face-Or-Actually-Explain-Stuff-To-People-Even-Though-I’m-Trying-To-Recruit-Them-To-Take-My-Job” …whatever, man. The MIB is here for obvious reasons. Selfish, doesn’t care who he hurts or kills to get what he wants, of course, he’s the obvious evil of this show. Still, there is duality there, and for that I am putting him in this tier. I can empathize with thinking Jacob’s an ass, lmao.

Roger Linus. I certainly empathize with him regarding the loss of his wife, that’s devastating, however, it is not an excuse to abuse your child. It was not Ben’s fault (for once, lol). I’m not saying Ben was right to kill him either, of course, but I certainly understand his reasons and how he was pushed to the decisions he made.

Phil. I loathe and detest this slimy doofus, and it all boils down to one thing: He Hit Juliet. I fully and completely understand James’s rage when he did that. The visceral reaction I have as an observer who knows these characters are fictional and loves Juliet is bad enough, so I can definitely believe the man who’s in love with her would LITERALLY want to kill him for doing that. There are other reasons, of course, he’s annoying and thinks he’s much smarter than he is and all that, but those reasons aren’t as important to me. (You’ll notice treatment of Juliet is quite a deciding factor throughout this list, lmfao.)

Stuart Radzinsky. Just an ass, to be honest. Unpleasant as fuck, doesn’t care who he hurts as long as he gets to do his little sciencey stuff. Oh yeah, and he rats out Suliet. So. BYE!

Brian Porter. Honestly being married to Susan is reason enough to put you here, but then you also went and threw Walt away like a used Kleenex. Fuck you, Brian.

Thomas (Claire’s baby daddy) is an asshat. Seriously. YOU insisted she keep the baby, made all these promises, and then got all pissy when it was time to talk and think about stuff for the baby? Fuck you. Grow up, Peter Pan.

Subcategory: They Who Hath Drinketh the Kool-aid (& Therefore I Cannot Respect Them)

Danny & Colleen Pickett. It’s clear they think they’re a power couple, but in reality they’re just weirdos with anger issues and a superiority complex.

Bea Klugh. Seriously, lady, you sacrificed your life for what? Citation not found.

Mikhail Bakunin. Again, you killed people and sacrificed yourself for…?

Ethan Rom. You know what you did.

Isabel. You’re useless. What even was the point of you, “Sheriff” who knows Chinese for some reason?

Goodwin Stanhope. You win a couple points for being nice to Juliet and trying to leave your wife for her (cause let’s be honest, who wouldn’t), but you still drank it, man.

Harper Stanhope. You’re just kind of a miserable person. Byeeee.

Adam. You beefed with Juliet and called her “Julie.” Ew.

Cindy Chandler. Pawn. “We’re here to watch.” Watch what? Watch Juliet get sentenced to death and executed. Go fuck yourself, Cindy. You’re lucky the execution didn’t actually happen, or you’d be in Hell Circle 10.

Zoe. Pawn.

Seamus. Pawn.

Omar. Pawn.

Ryan Pryce. Pawn.

Aldo. Pawn.

The rest of the Others we see glimpses of, like Burditt, Justin, Luke, Jason, etc.

Next, we have the You’re Not The Worst, But I Dislike You More than I Like You category:

Tom Friendly is in this category because despite myself, I kinda like the guy. He has a sense of humor and a flair for the dramatic, and he’s a far more interesting character than most of the other Others. He’s not higher in the ranks because well, Kool-aid drinker.

Cassidy Phillips. Look, I know James did her wrong, but she just sorta bothers me. I feel a kind of pick-me energy that I can’t fully explain, and I don’t enjoy it. I do think her relationship with Kate is the most interesting thing about her, and I definitely could see that ship sailing once Kate returned from the island.

Sarah Wagner (formerly Shephard) kind of gets a pass because Jack definitely had his issues, but did you NEED to cheat on him? I don’t think so. Also, being mad that he always wants to fix things after you literally married him BECAUSE he fixed a thing is a little nuts, I’m just saying.

Emily Locke did it with one of the worst people in history, but it produced John so at least there’s that, I guess. She’s got some severe mental illness(es), which Cooper undoubtedly exploited, so I can’t place a ton of blame on her. Still, she needs some serious help.

Nikki & Paulo. I’ll lump them together because that’s what the show did. In all honesty, they were just kind of unnecessary, but I don’t hate them.

Ed Mars is an obsessive man, one might say. Truthfully, he’s just trying to do his job. Kate legitimately is a premeditated murderer on the run, what’s he supposed to do? Does he get a little carried away? Yes. Is he wrong? Not really. Still don’t love the guy, but he’s not The Worst.

Kelvin Inman is here for his treatment of Desmond, trying to sneak off and leave him. Sorry, bro. He’s a relatively decent dude otherwise.

Liam Pace. Look, I fully respect that he went and got clean and got his shit together, I do, but selling Charlie’s piano was a DICK move.

Nathan…you just didn’t help yourself at ALL, man. If you gave even a smidgen of kindness to literally anyone, they wouldn’t have been so quick to believe you were an Other.

Mrs. Paik is here because she’s married to Satan’s spawn. She’s not lower on the list because she genuinely cares for Sun and Ji Yeon.

Right in the middle we have the “I Don’t Have Any Reason to Hate You, But I Don’t Really Have Any Reason to Like You Either” group. These are characters we don’t get to know very well, or that I just feel kind of neutral about.

I’ll group up the crash survivors here, so Joanna Miller, Gary Troup, Beth, Donald, the other tailies, and captain Seth Norris. We hardly knew ye. Literally.

Ilana, I’m sorry girl, I don’t really care that much about you. It feels a little like she was just thrown in to have an extra female character (cough, in the absence of Juliet, cough). She’s fine, she’s okay, I just don’t really have any personal attachment to her at all.

Matthew Abaddon and Eloise Hawking represent true neutral alignment to me. They don’t really get involved or invested, they just make sure the pieces are in the proper place.

Diane Janssen is here because she kind of evens out for me. She was stuck in an abusive relationship and couldn’t find the strength to leave, which I empathize with, but it caused her to make some shitty decisions that affected her daughter. I believe she was justified in her anger towards Kate, but wrong to try and blackmail her into seeing Aaron, though she wound up not following through with that and doing the right thing after all. It kind of all balances out, in my opinion, and I neither like nor dislike her, really.

Bonnie and Greta kind of drank the Kool-aid, but Bonnie used her final moments to defy Ben, and I can appreciate that.

Carole and Lindsay Littleton, we don’t get to know them much, but I appreciate how much Claire loves her mom and how Lindsay was protective of them when it came to Christian.

Danielle’s expedition party members. Rest in…well, pieces, if you’re Montand. Sorry.

Pierre and Lara Chang. Though Pierre is a bit of a grump, he’s not a bad dude overall, and Lara was fine as well.

Lennon and Dogen again sort of fall into the duality category where they even out. They drank that sweet Kool-aid, but there’s a little more to them than meets the eye. At the end of the day though, I just don’t have any strong feelings about them.

Richard Malkin did his best to steer Claire in the right direction, for whatever reason. But did it mean anything or not? The world may never know.

Carmen Reyes is a good mom, she made Hurley so she gets points for that, but she’s just middle of the road for me.

Dan Norton is a dude doing his job.

Tricia Tanaka, how did you not see that meteor coming, girl? Just kidding, she deserved better, but again, we don’t know her very well.

People we see mostly in passing: Regina, Nurse Lazenby, Rosie, Olivia, Chrissy, Jill

Part two will be on the way soon! (And it will probably be longer than this part 😅) Stay tuned!

oh my stars. outer wilds,,

HEAVY SPOILERS BELOW | 1st playthrough update | no tips n guides if commenting please :)

So, today's session- went a little crazy. uhm. uhm

Just as like, a prelude-- Times outer wilds has made me cry: (1) But we're not there yet

First off, the statue workshop- finally got in and.

god. uhm. okay. okay. okay so. the "looping" is just my memories being stored into the masks in ash twin- and then reinserted into my character as to keep them aware upon either success or failure of the probing project (i forget exact details atm; it's late)

also shout out to the lovebirds who decided to max out the power into the canon instead of listening to cassava and co at the construction island- explains the utter obliteration i see whenever i wake up

speaking of utter obliteration; i finally was able to get into the dang thing!!!! and ouhhh, it was SO COOL !!!!!!!! I LOVED LOOKING AROUND!!! i wish i really wish i took more screenshots but i was gasping the entire time i explored!!! gosh i need to look over the logs again to get a better grasp of what i learned here but OUUHHHHHH WOAW!!!!

anyways!!!! i also finally went and explored the gravity cannon on ember twin (ive always gone by to get the shortcut to the city, but never explored the actual cannon itself) and huh! interstellar has stuff to explore!! i guess let's go there!

oh.

well. there's poke and pye :( and there's the lore about the ghost matter

it's awfully beautiful, but. man.

oh well, can't sit on these feelings for too long, yknow? gotta keep going- where else.. where else.. hmmm

3rd escape pod it is! :)

they're. huddling together.

yea so- may or may not have cried; who could really say

but god. god.. this game. oh my god this game dude. this game. this game.. this gamee... what the hell. what the hell. oh my god. what the hell. this game is peak. holy shit it's so peak. it's so good. it's so so good. i'm. oh my god. oooh my god. oh my god.

but yeah, next session? doing one last puzzle/exploration thing i need to do in sunless, and uhm. !! i'm gonna continue my hunt into one particular tower at the ash twin and (hopefully) warp to the sun station from what i'm assuming (i saw theres the blackhole/warp symbol on the station). oh and- quantum tower in brittle is still a need to do thing- haven't figured that one out yet

but man. man oh man. this game. this game dude.

oh and lastly: crunchy quality log

good game 10/10

#sorry that these aren't super full of detail like the last couple logs!!!!#its 1 54 am as of typing this and i am both physically and emotionally drained haha #i have thoughts about the timeline of events but ill go over that in a later post hopefully #oouuuhhhh #good game...#outer wilds #outer wilds spoilers #outer wilds malk liveblog

hello all! mod 🍄 here! today’s daily is the first ever.. kiraboss headcanons! only six because my day is friday.. the sixth day teehee!

fair war war: long.. ish.. pfft.

unlike kira , whos skin/hair/etc is so healthy beacause of his routines, diavolo is naturally like that. this explains how he could go so long without his face breaking out if it evers (prolly gets pimples on his forehead due to the bangs) or hair staying ever so soft. kira wonders what dia would look like if he did have a routine.

whether you add doppio in to make it an ot3 or leave him out, i do think hes supportive of the couple as this is the happest hes seen the boss in a long while. :] kira gets the occasional threat tho just to keep his blond freak self in line pfft.

ok so we ALL KNOW the kiraboss certified hc that diavolo can nawt cook, we seen it, we love it!! however, the reason why that is is because diavolo is a man (or woman or thing of undescirbaboe gender!! idk yall love ur kiraboss trans hcs! <- guilty of trans hcs) whos not the biggest fan of failure ESPECALLIY if its one you can see. so imagine this “only results remain!!1!” guy making an omelette and it comes out looking and tasting like not that. yeaa hes destroying the whole kitchen (prolly has). the kiraboss aspect of this hc is that while kira is a perfectionist, hes also patient. and a good cook! maybe diavolo just needs a perfectionist, paient, good looking cooking manto aid him in his cooking adventures…

assuming the two are multilangual.. so thats another hc wow! they were most confident telling the other how they felt in their mother lango. diavolo italian/kira japanese weee. whether the other understood the other is up to yous. (ayy sono felice ref aka one of the first kiraboss fics eva!!)

kira lives in a house that was own by his great great greats greats etc, right? right. so theres totes some old things like vases hanging around. diavolo broke one of those vases and spent a while evening gluing it back together. he finishes on the nick of time, placing it right back where it was. now, a none the wiser kira comes home and looks at this vase. which is scaring the pink out diavolo. you know what this blond man did? he picked up the vase , and told diavolo 😾: “yknow ive been meaning to throw this vase out…” 😾 brings it to the trash, and throws it in with a defeated diavolo watching. now kiras looking at his bf, wondering why diavolo gave so much of a dang about it .

the two were avid cable watchers untill one spring cleaning day, the couple found a bunch of cds in the old kira family stash. kira was gonna throw them out but diavolo stopped him. (lowkey he was using this as a distraction to stop cleaning for a while but he was also curious) . he put one of the cds in and turns out it was recorded televison from the 80s (idk if that tech was around that time were gonna pretend it is) so after the two finshed cleaning, they found the very first one and watched them from there. that became their daily tv watching routine instead. it took em three years to finish them all.

THAT IS ALL ! omg. i wanted to do hcs that were more.. i suppose stuff that could happen in the days of mundane kiraboss more than the ones we usually know like how the show affection. besides all the mods here deffo got varying hcs of that so let us know if you wish to see that via sending an ask! okie that is all i used way too much g’s in this post.

#kiraboss #jjba #long krbs post #jjba headcanons #funnly enuff i did this bc i had hand pain so no art.. yea my hands killin me nows #kira yoshikage #jjba diavolo #🍄.png

"Nimona" movie artbook thoughts

There's so much neat stuff here. Spoilers for the movie below the cut but just dang I love this

So many neat ideas for long-haired Ambrosius. Ponytail Ambrosius! He looks so cute!

There was going to be a magazine cover with "Goldenloin bares it all" and I like to think part of this is in reference to the two pin-ups Nate drew (Pin-up 1 and Pin-up 2). It's neat to see how much they were building up his celebrity in more ways. In other concept art, he was on more magazine covers, and he shows up as part of a parade. There are lots of concepts of Goldenloin fans.

Also this Ambrosius test is amazing. The weird Todd/Ambrosius fusion in motion lol But you can tell they even modified it later to turn it into Todd. He's a bit softer here in a way and just... fun. Todd cosplaying as Ambrosius/having a nightmare/dream about it aldkjalj

It was also interesting to see more confident Ballister. There's an animation test with him fighting some Institute guards, and it's very clear in early concept art (from that popular viral test back in 2021 as well) that he was more confident in earlier production.

More adorable Ambrosius/Ballister moments, and some cute Ambrosius. They're absolutely sweet.

And unfortunately one of the biggest losses in the movie: the amazing stuff they show for Meredith Blitzmeyer. At one point she was going to be covered in magic tattoos.

"For a long time, the character of Meredith Blitzmeyer was in the film. She served many different functions in many different iterations. At one point, she had a magical van that was bigger on the inside. In another, she was covered from head to toe in magical tattoos. And in another, she was the head of a vast underground society, called the Silver Society, comprised of all the magical creatures forced into hiding by the institute. Ultimately, the story went in a different direction, but her design and model were so beloved that she wasn’t lost but repurposed into The Queen." This all sounds so cool (except the repurposed into a character who dies in the first 10 minutes of the movie part T-T).

She has an entire spread. It's neat that she got to show up in some form (when they recycled her design for Valerin), but I love the idea of the Silver Society and her place in it and also Ballister having more friends and just ugh. These designs and world-building are so cool. I wish we'd seen all of them in the movie.

Also finally an eye dings chart! With everything clearly explained lol Neat to know I wasn't imagining some in-between diamond/square shape when Ballister is changing.

And this pride flags spread! There's a drag queen club! I just love all of this!! Seeing them spread throughout the movie is fun but it's neat to see the collection here!

Also this line: "In actuality, there has not been a monster attack since the first, so the fear and belief of the possibility is the only thing keeping the populace in check." It's neat to get confirmation of that.

Also a very much more violent Nimona was in the early/late-ish production lol.

José Manuel Fernández Oli talked on his Facebook collection of concept art about there at one point being an underground of outcast shapeshifters, and I don't know if that's what we're seeing here, but we were at least maybe also going to get more magical people (which matches the Meredith plans)??

Weres? People with fire magic? Satyrs? Demons? Elves? Or just a wider range of shapeshifter people. That would have been so cool.

There are environment designs for the Institute, Ballister and Nimona's hide-out, people designs, a few more test animations they haven't put up elsewhere, more Nimona shapeshifts (more dogs and cats, a second kind of gnome, more of her bulkier, muscular design, more types of dragons, a goat, more ancient Nimona concepts, plant monster Nimona, alien(?) Nimona, etc.). We nearly had goblin Director. Older Gloreth concepts... It's all really awesome.

All in all, a lot of really cool stuff.

🖥️🌑Caregiver!Eclipse Headcanons!

Here ya go!! (Note: this is V3/4 Eclipse specifically)

🌑Eclipse was definitely not built for taking care of children, not like Sun or Earth was. He was awkward around kids, though he did much better with younger ones. But then somehow, someway, he became a caregiver for an age regressor.

🖥️He'd grown a soft spot for caregiving, grown a soft spot for his regressor. Though he wouldn't admit it, especially around others (though if his kiddo gave him a teary look he'd tell them that he loves them). He never was one good at affection, especially through words, though he'll learn for his kid if they need that affection. If his kiddo starts crying, or is sad he'll sigh, acting annoyed and irritated but he'd hug them and hold them close <3

🌑He would spoil his kid rotten practically. Oh, they want a new stuffie? Bought it. A new bike? Allll theirs. A trip to Kmart? Hop in the car portal. His main way of giving affection is gift giving. For birthdays he'll stay up all night making his kid a homemade card, wrapping their gift perfectly.

🖥️With that all being said, he seems strict. Like his attitude is strict, he acts all annoyed and irritated and like "No, kid, you can't have that" and "Knock it off, I'm trying to work!" but the second the puppy dog eyes come out ohhhh yep. Say bye-bye to the strict act. Though he'll still act irritated, imagine this: "No, kid! Knock it off and let me work!" cue puppy dog eyes, maybe some fake tears threatening to fall. "... Fine, get on up here. Brat." And now he's holding them.

🌑While working he'll hold his kid on his lap, and if they show interest in what he's doing, he'll talk to them and show them it all. The kid doesn't always understand it, but he'll try his best to explain it to his regressor, even if they're regressed young enough to not fully understand.

🖥️His regressor is the most protected being to exist, I swear. Someone lays their hands on his kid? Yeahhh. Yikes. Not gonna end well for them, but regardless it'll end with Eclipse holding his kiddo in his arms, checking them for injuries and everything while half-heartedly scolding them "Dang it, Kid. You better not have gotten yourself hurt...!" He says lovingly.

🌑He prefers younger kids, like babies. He enjoys holding them, and how cuddly they get. He hates the mess most babies make while eating, but he doesn't mind the mess if it makes his regressor happy. He's also very much willing to help his kid potty train or use a diaper if they want to do so. Anything for his kiddo.

🖥️He'll carry them around while doing stuff, and that includes carrying his kid around the Pizzaplex! If his kiddo likes the lights and loud stuff of the Pizzaplex, then he'll take them there for fun. If they need their headphones to block sound, or anything else, he'll make sure they have it. Also, if anyone looks at him weird as he carries his kid around? They get glared at, a silent warning.

🌑He doesn't like leaving his kid at a babysitter or daycare, often times preferring to just carry them around and take care of them himself. But, if he haves to or his kid wants to go to a daycare or a babysitter, then he'll suck it up and leave them there. Though not for long, and he triple checks to make sure they have everything.

🖥️He leaves his kiddo at Superstar Daycare one day, Sun and Lunar looking at him in disbelief. He crouches down in front of his kid, making sure they have everything they need and want, before giving them a forehead kiss and telling them that he'll be back soon.

🌑Long story short, he's a pretty good CG! A bit snappy and irritable at times, but won't be outright mean to his regressor. Though if he does accidentally hurt their feelings, he'll be apologizing more times than one can count.

🌑🖥️⭐

Ask Game Dump

IT IS THAT TIME AGAIN! where i want to shoot my mouth off about the pig and duck and answer a bunch of ask games myself to satisfy such a craving. huzzah! i found a few and decided to dump 'em all in one post, so, yay! enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

original

What made you first ship them?

October 23rd, 2019, a day that shall live in infamy... I'VE SAID IT BEFORE but i don't think it was really a [BAM] "oh god i love these guys" type thing, i think it was a natural progression--i'd been watching a ton of Porky shorts since i was binging Bob Clampett's chronology, and he directed the most Porky shorts, and he also frequently paired him and Daffy up as buddies; i was accustomed to their dynamic and found it really charming, but seeing Boobs in the Woods (where Daffy makes passes at Porky twice in one cartoon and literally ASKS HIM OUT?), gushing over a then-leaked clip of Wet Cement where they were dancing together, and My Favorite Duck, which is one of my all time favorite pig and duck shorts and has Daffy calling Porky "my little cherub", ALL IN THE SAME DAY... that's at least when i realized, Oh Dang. likewise the allure of nobody seeming to pick up on how affectionate/close/whatever you call this they are?? it felt a lot like prospecting undiscovered territory, which is both a blessing and a curse

2. Favorite canon scene between them?

GOSH I DON'T KNOW... i really don't think i have a favorite scene with them because it's all just so... cumulative, you know? i feel like it's all a bunch of parts that make a very big whole... the gifs in my pinned are definitely some all-timer scenes for me though. the Boobs in the Woods scene where Daffy leaps in Porky's arms and asks him out is legendary, Porky getting all bashful towards Daffy's advances in The Prize Pest, the "i didn't know you cared!" bit in Scalp Trouble that is played with such an anomalous sincerity in comparison to Everything Else... Porky gushing about him and Daffy being childhood friends in Wise Quacks is very high up there for me too, just because it's so indicative of how unique and close their relationship is. no other LT character has this!! i keep stressing it, but it's true! god there's so much

3. Who cooks and who cleans?

self explanatory

4. Where/How do they live? (Together/Separate)

depends at which point we're at in the Actor AU! USUALLY for most of my art and stuff on here it's just assumed that they live together... and they eventually do move in together in the actor au so Porky can stop racking up Petunia's phone bill and having 7 hour long conversations with Daffy over the phone every night. but until then Porky still lives with Petunia and Penny, and Daffy... lives... somewhere

5. Biggest in-universe supporter of the ship?

well this is LT and in-universe/canon does not exist, the answer would be nobody because everyone hates each other... but poor Petunia and Penny have to sit and watch Daffy and Porky pretty much do every conceivable act with each other and then listen as Porky insists there's nothing funny business between them. and then he has a crisis when the prospect of there being funny business finally catches up to him and Petunia has to gently explain that she has known this the moment that Porky started taking about Daffy.

6. Who confessed first?

i STILL don't have an answer to this after six years. this is a big example of Porky and Daffy being such their own thing to me, i don't feel like there's ever a confession or a big first kiss moment or what have you... which i know isn't very realistic, but it just.. these things feel so baked in already. judging how i characterize them, it'd probably be Daffy through a very off-handed sort of "wait you mean we aren't already together"-esque remark?? i guess? but i really struggle to imagine either of them having a moment like this. but given Daffy's track record in the cartoon he's probably the most likely candidate.. and it's more of a statement/proclamation than a confession!

7. Who do each of them tell first about the relationship?

"does Daffy even have friends" was the very first thing that came to my mind and it made me laugh out loud LOL. I MEAN, PENNY AND PETUNIA OBVIOUSLY i guess that'd go for the both of them... but, again, it feels like they know about any prospects of a relationship before Porky and Daffy themselves do. it's a symptom of that "idk it just... IT'S ALREADY IN PLACE" type thing

8. Who makes the bigger romantic gestures?

if there's one thing Daffy is good at, it's being very flashy and Big! he's definitely the more likely candidate to splurge or treat Porky (and himself)--if he wants something he just kinda makes it happen LOL. Porky will occasionally surprise Daffy too, but he's not at all the initiator of the two

9. PDA, yes or no?

absolutely yes in private, no if you take the meaning of PDA literally... though i'm going by actor au adjacent logic, so make of that what you will. in private though i think they're more touchy than either of them realize (or, well, Daffy realizes it but he doesn't care. Porky's clinginess is more instinctual/accidental)

10. Who gets more jealous?

i answered the question below first, as i saved these two for last with this round since i was so torn.. but i guess Porky applies here too for the same logic listed below, which is really weird and unfitting to think about? but, comparatively, he would be, at least in the context of a relationship. it's not that Daffy doesn't care, but, also, he's very much more "go with the flow"/not nearly as uptight about these things (whatever "these things" means to you)

11. Who is more possessive?

i.. GOSH, it feels so weird to say Porky for this, doesn't this? but considering everything i've written for Porky and just my general headcanons for the two of them, i guess it'd be him... i don't consider him to be a possessive personality at all, and you'd think Daffy would be much more fitting, but in the context of a relationship... well, Porky just spent a chapter and a half of the actor au lamenting over Daffy being gone and half wishing Gabby was Daffy instead. likewise... i mean, i don't believe either of them would ever cheat on each other (because. with WHO.) but Daffy's definitely more the type to get distracted by a Pretty Gal and Porky would have to begrudgingly drag him away. so i guess he's "possessive" in that sort of way

12. Who proposes to whom?

another "i don't KNOW i can't see them getting married but maybe i just need to not take these all so literally" answer LOL. in the times i've tried to think about it though, it'd again probably be Daffy... BUT I DON'T KNOW, Porky's proposed to Petunia numerous times throughout their history together... if i were in charge i'd say Daffy though. Porky would also think he's punking him at first and insist that it isn't funny. and then he cries

13. Will they have kids one day?

I SINCERELY HOPE NOT!

14. How did their family take the news of their relationship?

WELL Daffy doesn't have a family so, i guess they can't take it poorly LOL. and i again maybe just need to have a better imagination, but i don't know if Porky would explicitly come out to his family (coming out to Petunia who's known from the start was torturous for him as is), but Porky's family would absolutely love Daffy and pretty much make him an honorary member of the family when they visit, so the effect is pretty much the same. one of Porky's brothers jokes about how Daffy should have been his brother instead and Porky gets mad about it.

15. What's something they love to do together?

what DON'T they love to do together.. i sincerely don't know how to answer this because i feel like so much can apply!! but i think they both love to drive each other a little crazy. i know that's not exactly what this is asking, but someday we shall impact the romanticism of them bickering like an old married couple... i do think they love getting each other's goat though and getting a rise out of each other. it's like a routine you'd see them doing on screen, but they're also just Like That and i think they're at least a little bit aware of it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

original

Who is a night owl:

well actually he's a duc[A CARTOON BOMB EXPLODES IN MY FACE]. but definitely Daffy. i don't really have any elaborate explanation for this. it's just Daffy.

Who is a morning person:

EQUAL OBVIOUSNESS IN ANSWER APPLIES TO PORKY HERE.. Porky i think has to be a morning person because he's the type to have his whole day ruined if he oversleeps. he likes to feel prepared and enjoys the sanity and quiet of those few hours in the morning where Daffy isn't awake yet

Are they cuddlers:

🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ not entirely on purpose? i guess it depends on what i'm drawing them for. sometimes my posts are from the point of view of an AU of an AU--the reality of the actor au, but in a universe where they are more open and intimate together. in that case they do all the time. but on my regular default, i think they just end up gravitating towards each other through the course of the night and wake up ensnared in each other. they're two different types of cuddlers

Who is the big spoon and who is the little spoon:

STILL UNABLE TO GIVE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER FOR THIS! it really depends, they switch... each combo has its benefits. i think i usually end up imagining Porky being the big spoon 60% of the time and Daffy being the little spoon 40% of the time, but i'm just not sure

What is their favourite sleeping position:

Daffy prefers on his back or occasionally stomach--Porky is a bit more versatile in that he doesn't mind side or stomach, but i usually imagine him more on his side. he's more inclined to curl up more, whereas Daffy takes up more space

Who steals all the blankets:

thank you Daffy Duck Slept Here for making blanket hog Daffy "canon". it's so true. just because it would be so annoying. i haven't mentioned it yet but he would be utterly obnoxious to sleep with for a menagerie of reasons. and DDSH is a seven minute short dedicated to that idea!

What they wear to bed:

i need to experiment with giving Daffy more clothes LOL because giving him pajamas feels like over-dressing him... but him wearing a nightshirt in Tick Tock Tuckered has always felt so wrong to me. he's naked. all the time. gross! Porky usually goes for the classic Bert and Ernie style button up pajamas. WHICH, SPEAKING OF. i'm actually wearing a pair of pajamas in that style right now, which i bought because they reminded me so much of Porky. they're a light mint green with white stripes and a collar and everything and i was just like ohhhh the spirit of Porky Pig is compelling me to buy these... you got it boss.

cutest Porky pajama outfit. ignore that he's threatening his cat

Who likes seeing the other wearing their t-shirt:

this is always such a funny question with them BECAUSE PORKY'S THE ONLY ONE WHO WEARS CLOTHES! which is why i need to experiment more with Daffy's wardrobe! and i feel like Porky would get all snippy if Daffy was stealing his clothes. and Daffy would probably steal his clothes just to make fun of him or something. so, if Daffy wore t-shirts in a parallel universe, he would probably enjoy seeing Porky wearing it. wait... though... Porky is probably more the type to give Daffy his jacket or something because "you ih-meh-make me cold >:("

Who falls asleep mid-conversation:

Porky definitely strikes me as the more likely candidate to take a catnap out of the two... maybe i'm just projecting my own lifelong hatred of taking naps onto Daffy. i HATE naps i always have too much energy and struggle taking them and he'd probably be the same. Porky has always had a very strong "i'm just resting my eyes" energy to me though... and there are some periods in the actor au where he is working himself wayyyyy way way too hard, and he doesn't function as well on reduced sleep as Daffy does

Who wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares:

SO in previous iterations of the actor au, i experienced with the both of them having nightmares for angst reasons, and i kinda got tired of it? that's not really something i wanna bother with now, maybe that's just out of embarrassment for the direction i took the au at one point, so i don't really have an answer... i experimented with it more with Daffy i think since he was actually the big Angst Target starting out, but i don't think he would. i don't really have an answer for this, but i will say that Porky is the more finicky sleeper of the two and will wake up at least once in the middle of the night every night

Who accidentally punched the other in their sleep:

DAFFY. Daffy is so bad about this i definitely think he's a kicker and it would drive Porky crazy no matter how long he's used to it. which sort of leads into the next question?

Who can’t keep their hands to themself:

BOTH but for very different reasons. Daffy fits the definition of this ask more--he's more touchy and is definitely prone to accidentally locking Porky in a chokehold in his sleep. he tosses and turns and moves around a lot. but i've always imagined that Porky's a bit of a cuddler without meaning to--he never starts off that way, but he'll end up gravitating to wherever Daffy is. either way though, Porky almost always wakes up next to/on Daffy somehow, whether it be Daffy smothering him or him having nestled up to Daffy at some point. the first time Daffy discovers that Porky's a cuddler, he tells him and Porky is so embarrassed that he sleeps on the couch for a week after (after vehemently denying that he isn't a cuddler)

I just wanted to say I think you're really cool in the way you defend your own boundaries while also trying to see the best in people (e.g. off-topic Wednesday asks / etc.). Like you make your ask box feel like it's okay to ask questions or not worry too much about how something might come off wierdly if it's read a certain way but also you don't let people walk over you, and that balance is a fucking skill which takes effort and work.

Thank you. 🧡 I definitely do go to a lot of effort to be clear about certain things I'm cool/not cool with while also assuming the best of people's intentions if I ever get comments or questions that are phrased poorly or seem . . . well, questionable, to make an unintentional pun there, haha. I just don't wanna start shit that doesn't need started or slather bad vibes all over some poor well-intentioned random soul who just doesn't have the most immediately up-to-date/informed language or certain experiences to inform their perspective, AND all over all of your dashes on top of that. Like, we were all confused about shit and awkwardly attempting to figure out what the magic question that would explain that shit to us was at SOME point in our lives, if nothing else. You gotta remember your internal stupid kid and how bad they wanted to figure shit out without having the tools for it!! You just gotta!!!!

Like, I literally did not realize gay and bi people were a thing until I was FOURTEEN, man, I just did NOT have that context/experience as a kid. And then, like, four months later I was . . . uhhhhh I'm pretty sure literally the first kid who was publicly out in my entire very tiny "quaint lil' small town full of well-off retirees with gorgeous lawns and literally nothing for a teenager to do outside of school" high school, and at least as far as I ever knew there wasn't another one until my friggin' senior year. And I didn't figure out what asexuality was OR my gender identity until I was in my thirties, despite actively TRYING to figure those out! I just didn't know! I didn't have the word for it for so long I didn't even GET it was a thing that should have a word!

Though to be honest, I really do get way, WAY more people worrying that they're overstepping and preemptively apologizing about it than I ever do people who are actually doing anything I'd personally consider to be overstepping, and I get even fewer people who are INTENTIONALLY overstepping on top of that. Like, I've been very lucky in the audience I've managed to snare/cultivate in my internet times, I very rarely encounter anyone coming into my inbox in bad faith. "Don't like/don't read" seems to be generally respected and I appreciate it, basically, hah.

Also, like, not to get too extra or serious here, but a lot of the reason I write fanfic is because it can contain a lot of things that standard publishing is less immediately open to releasing--like, especially back when I started, it was just NOT a thing to have explicitly queer kids in mega-popular mainstream YA series or all that much gender/racial/neuro diversity past, like, token presences that were at MOST only diversity-CODED half the time anyway and "didn't like labels". And like, that bugged me a LOT as a kid and as a young adult, and still kinda bugs me sometimes these days. I wanted, you know, that SEEN feeling, and I didn't want to only get it from hyper-niche genres/authors that were only writing about being queer and sad about it. I wanted that shit in my dang sci-fi and fantasy and all the FUN stuff, not just, you know, the tragedy-porn cautionary tales. So I want people who are reading my stuff to feel that way, even and ESPECIALLY when they're some totally different flavor of whatever we are from me, and so I REALLY try to be inclusive and welcoming and assume the best of people, at least to the best of my ability.

. . . okay I got kinda carried away with this answer, maybe, haha, but tl;dr: literally everyone has got enough bullshit going on in their lives, I can at least be nice about weird kinks and random gender/mental/physical/???? issues that I don't always necessarily understand the full nuances of on the internet.

#moriartea42 #rintalk #so yeah thank you for noticing my efforts I do SO much work to keep that balance for us all hah #I do my best!!#our best is all we can do!!!!#also lbr healthy boundaries help with the 'tisms so much 'cuz healthy boundaries means RULES to follow yaaayyyyy #best cheat sheet for human interaction ever!!

sooo what if I dropped more lore about my ocs

bats eyelashes

...oc loredrop time!! muehehehah!!

MANIAE MANIAE MANIAE MANIAE /pos

this is just. their basic shoulder-up profile.

Look at all the colors... yesyeyes, totally not a poorly liquified noise photo of what I think they'd look like in color

Maniae is the deity (technically goddess but I like gender neutral terms) of chaos, madness, and abnormality! I think

That title would technically go to Eris but we'll talk about her later

Ooh scary cut... (More images + loredrop)

AEONI McYapperton yaps :3

Maniae was a deity shunned out amongst the others. A mere personification of insanity, madness, and crazed frenzy. They are vaguely humanoid, resembling more so of swirls of color mixed with other strange features with a pair of white glowing eyes and a wide cheshire cat smile. The deity of chaos, madness, and abnormality.

My notes

Below, here's their beta design! I was trying to get a feel for how I wanted em to be, ykyk?

Text for the 2nd one:

[?]

I don't exactly, uhm... remember. Er—who are you guys?

Man now that I look back, I lowkey like the first design the best, but whatever

Oh and also TW for SH scars below

WOAH FULL PAGE!! The end had a tear for some reason but I kept it bc it adds to the charm?? I guess

No closeups bc there's a dang image limit for posts </3

But anyways!! As I was saying... Lore time!!

Starting off with their backstory!

Maniae is a freak of nature. Composed of purely chaos and magic—simply put together as chaos magic—they aren't supposed to be alive. Yet with the cruelty of the world at the time, they are. Made by the deity of magic (unnamed for now) and the goddess of discord and strife (Eris), Maniae takes on the role as the deity of chaos [and all that other stuff].

Now technically, according to Wikipedia, Maniae is a collective of evil spirits representing chaos and madness along with the goddess of rabies (Lyssa), but like shhh, it's okay. This is my story, not the Greek's.

As the new deity of chaos, Maniae obviously causes chaos! Brings havoc! Destroy the world! Alongside Eris and Ares and yadayadayada, all the other violent gods love them.

They kill without remorse, since it isn't built into their nature. They have been taught (by the one and only Eris) to hate the world and wreck it at every chance they get.

Oh we love a toxic upbringing, don't we?

Though one day, while coming back from a massacre in the mortal world, they are confronted by Eirene.

To briefly explain, Eirene is the goddess of peace, aid, and commonplace.

Hmm, hold on, I haaave... A snippet of a story WIP!!

... They spot Eirene—goddess of peace, aid, and commonplace—amidst the clouds. She is someone they despise yet simultaneously envy for her rule over the sacred gift of peace. She seems to sense their presence, suddenly asking aloud, “Why do mortals always seem to bicker?” She looks over to Maniae, sitting aloft a cloud whilst looking down upon humanity.

They huff, giving a shrug. “I don’t know,” they blankly respond, “I don’t have an interest in those puny souls.” They take a stride closer to her, patting the goddess on her shoulder. “What’s with the question? You’re giving me the look again,” they mused while a smirk upturns their abstract features.

She lets out a sigh, gently taking Maniae’s calloused, bloody claw in between her soft hands. “I am asking you because I assumed you knew, being the deity that rules over chaos.” She pauses, adding in a more hushed voice, “Don’t you question it too?”

The chaos deity scowls, yanking their hand away from her tender grasp. “Question what?” they hiss, gesturing to the empty air beside them.

Eirene stares down at Maniae for a long pause of silence, the gust of clouds harshly blowing past the pair. She looks down at the window to humanity once more from her seat in the clouds. “Humans. Their strange, multifaceted nature.”

Maniae rolls their eyes while leaning down to look at the world as well. “Couldn’t you ask the god of humanity instead?” they mutter, crossing their arms.

Her gaze flicks up to them again, carrying a more wistful look. “I could. I won’t though,” she replies while bringing her hand up to put in a resting position against her cheek.

Maniae frowns, furrowing their brow. “Why not? He’d obviously know more and answer your question—”

“—I’m trying to make you understand, Maniae,” she interrupts with quick fervor, “that you need to see there’s more to life than the madness that surrounds you.” The goddess lifts her head up, her hair billowing in waves. “You have a choice to be more than this.” She narrows her gaze to them.

They seem to stiffen at her direct statement, turning their head away. “Alright, I’m sorry…” they grumble, starting to step away from Eirene before she continues, “Did you get that sorry from Anwir? I can’t tell if you’re genuine anymore with your ways.”

Maniae tightly holds the magic ball in their claws. They would’ve ripped her jaw off, though wouldn’t dare act physically against her. Instead, they rebutted, “The only genuine action I’ve done is violence, everything else can be lost to mania.”

She shakes her head, bringing her hand to her forehead. “Then, would you do me a favor?” she murmurs, her now tired eyes gazing down on them. Maniae brings the magic ball to their chest, face scrunched into a dirty look. They scoff, giving a nod. Eirene continues, “Go down to the mortal world, interact with them. See the land for what it is.”

Maniae’s eyes widened, panicked. “What?” they hissed with a slight voice crack, “don’t send me back there, I hate that damned place!” An amused smile crosses the goddess’ expression. “Perhaps you’ll like it better once you observe how the world is without your mind muddled with chaos.”

“Perhaps I’ll like it better if I suffer more down there,” they mocked her with a sly smirk, pointing a talon at her. “Who are you to convince me anyway? We’re equally both gods, and I can take you down easily.”

She gives a warm smile. “You’ll see. There’s mortals that share the same dilemma as you.” She then flicks her wrist, adding, “I’m simply trying to help.”

Maniae yelps, the clouds beneath their feet growing thinner. “Wait, wait! Don’t!” They reach their claw out to grab her, claw her, anything. It reaches upon dead air as they fall. Everything fades to dark as the air pressure increases with their growing speed.

The last thing they see is her smile, welcoming yet pitiful.

...that was longer than I expected. uh. okay.

So anyways!! Maniae is sent down to the mortal realm again, now forced to actually see humans for what they are and push chaos aside.

Filler, filler, plot point that I haven't figured out yet, yadayadayada, lalalala...

Oh em gee!! They find out that humans like them (people who don't fit in, confused about societal norms, and trying to figure out their role in life) exist!! And they find out humans aren't just violent creatures, they actually care!! Wow!!

After their new awakening or whatever you want to call it, they are able to go back to the godly plane. Maniae eagerly yaps to Eirene about humans, now having understood emotion and feeling besides insanity!

Eris finds out. Is this good? HELL NO. As the goddess of strife, of course she's going to have a problem with Maniae's new path.

Ahem. More, uh, trigger warnings for abuse.

Lalalalallaala you don't see this lalalalala... Nooo wooo you don't see anything woa...hmmhmmhm lalala woaooaoaaoaaoa

Degrading, beating, solitary confinement, more beating, broke their right horn (our left) to exhaust more of their magic as punishment, trying to convert them back to the chaos creature everybody knew, forcing them into her beliefs... I didn't write this part out yet, but if I did, ohhhohohoh...

Okay trigger ends here

Sorry, anyways! This is where Maniae is conflicted. They want to be good, they want to see the light that Eirene has offered to them—peace.

Yet they can't do that, they have to be evil and insane and bring the world to destruction. That is their job as the deity of chaos after all, and that is their role to play.

I think I'll end the backstory here.

Let's talk about their abilities now!!

Chaos warp: They release some sort of potent aura around them that makes anything with a consciousness go insane and make them more prone to violence. The victim's madness level depends on their mental state- if they're more mentally strong, they're able to resist this better than someone who's already mentally weak. This lasts for a few hours, six hours at most. The victims return to their normal state once this ends.

Mind control: you heard me right, mind control. Maniae is able to control the mind of one person only, and it has to be a mortal being, or else it will not work!! They do this by force feeding the victim a chaos orb (size of a marble) and getting into their head in general. Again, this usually works better on weak minded people more than strong minded.

Reading thoughts: AKA basic mindreading. As the deity of chaos, they can reach into any mind, no matter how cluttered or terrifying their thoughts are. Their passive ability is to just read a specific person (or group of people) and pinpoint their various emotions, but not their exact thoughts. Only if they focus their attention on one person can they read minds, and only if they don't have some sort of mental barrier.

Teleportation: All gods know how to teleport since they all have magic. Maniae's way of teleporting is by breaking a teleportation orb (who knew, it's an orb that has teleportation magic). The magic of the orb can teleport a maximum of... whatever's in it's close-range radius I guess? The one who breaks it chooses where to go, and bam! Boom! Shakka lakka! They're there.

Chaos condensation and consumption: Basically Maniae is able to collect chaos around them. If there's chaos energy around (which can be anywhere from a dispute to a war) then they're able to pull that energy into a new chaos orb. Or, the other option is eating the chaos energy. Since Maniae's made of pure magic, of course they can eat chaos energy, it's practically their main diet (which is a bad thing, since the chaos energy is actually one of the reasons they're chaotic in the first place). They can do this directly or eat a chaos orb instead.

Shape shifting: You know how Greek gods sometimes shape shift to trick mortals (or something like that, I forgot how the stories go)? That's what Maniae can do too! They like transforming into a *wisp the best, since it allows them to float/fly around and be free as well as get into people's heads easier. They can also transform into various animals, real or not. Their most recent form is one of a human, with the help of a strange theatre mask... (*wisp = literally just air but in a magic form, like a ghost, sorta.)

Radiance: Simply, they glow! Their radiance corresponds to the amount of chaos in their system. The more bright they are, the more chaotic- aaand vice versa; the more dull they are, the more... Either tranquil or depressed.

Godly strength and speed: just the usual perks of being a god. They have enhanced strength and speed because why not?

I think that's it for their abilities. It's about time we get into RELATIONS!!

Eris, goddess of discord and strife:

Past Maniae = "She's so cool... I want to be just like her and the other gods! Once I'm more powerful, we can tear apart the world and make it bleed." Their 'mother.' Very positive. They look up to her and heavily glorify her actions. They're her loyal pet (ew why am I saying this) who'd destroy the world with her.

Present Maniae = "Don't even mention her; I'll cut off your tongue. I know she's not here, but what if she's listening?!" Still their 'mother.' Negative and fearful. Responds to her name like a cornered animal- scared and violent instinct. After what she's done to them and what they've seen in a new light... They can't look at her with the same admiration they did when blinded by chaos.

Eirene, goddess of peace, aid, and commonplace:

Past Maniae = "I despise her, she's just blind! She's so pathetic to think that 'everyone deserves peace.' Who needs peace anyway?" An enemy/rival. They see her as an obstacle in their path of destruction. Deep down, they did feel jealous, though who cares about that when mania is the first option?

Present Maniae = "She's... nice, I guess. What—no, I mean that's just her nature as the goddess of peace. I don't care about her." A close friend. They don't want to admit that aloud though. She's seen their pain and heard their pleads enough for them to be soft around her. She is their opposite in every way and still treats them with the same patience she had at the beginning.

[Unnamed], goddess of magic:

Past Maniae = "Ooh! Ooh! I still need to ask her how to cast fireball!" Friendly, doesn't see her as a mother figure though. More like... Their cool aunt that teaches them how to hone in their magic!!

Present Maniae = "I haven't talked to her in a while. I don't think I want to. I did learn to cast fireball on my own though!" Neutral and more distant, though still friendly. They still see her as the cool aunt, though they feel that they don't deserve to be in her presence. (She treats them the same as the past and is mostly ignorant.)

Anwir, god of lies, acting, and deceit:

Past Maniae = "Chaos and deceit go together naturally! He's pretty cool to hang out with, aaand we can cause mischief, together!" Friends, sees him as a fuel for chaos. They only used him for his ability to smoothly lie and light the flames of discord. They've crossed the line after what they did to him.

Present Maniae = "He probably hates me. I doubt that he's even considered my friend. Tch, just shut up, I hate him!" Bitterness and regret for his past friend. They feel a heavy weight on their shoulders for what they've done to him. They're in heavy denial about wanting to reconnect with him.

Aceso, goddess of healing and well-being:

Past Maniae = "Why does she care about my damn battle scars? I can heal by myself! Besides, she keeps pestering me and she's annoying." Dislike, but not hated. During the rare moments they do go to her shrine for healing, they are thankful, but that's quickly overridden by their urge to cause chaos again (even with a bleeding wound).

Present Maniae = "I... tch, fine, I appreciate her help, but that's it. That's just her acting out her title as a goddess of healing. She could stop nagging me about my scars though!" In denial of their gratitude, neutral-positive towards her. She's seen as their second caretaker when Eirene isn't able to. Oh she knows buddy. She definitely knows about their SH scars. They only go to her shrine when there's no patients around. Her shrine is one of the few places (besides Eirene's realm) that they feel calm.

Somnia, deity of sleep and dreams:

Past Maniae = "Who??" Straaanger! Does not know any other minor deity outside of the chaos circle. Yup, that's it.

Present Maniae = "Never met 'em. They do sound familiar though..." Maniae doesn't quite know who they are, though I do plan for an interaction with them soon! For now, Maniae only knows them by their ability to turn nightmares into dreams. Somnia knows much more about the chaos deity because of their dreams (which are mainly nightmares).

There's a lot more deities, but I haven't really developed them yet... Or designed them for that matter... Uhhmmmmm...

Technically most of the deities listed aren't designed yet, and I haven't fleshed out some of their stories

This is getting... WAY too long!!

Uh... Please tell me if there are any inconsistencies. This was sort of an impulse oc rant that I tried to stitch together, except I don't know how to stitch.

I think I need to make a seperate tag for oc rambles like these...

IF I MISSED ANYTHING, GET READY FOR A PART 2.

#goodness i had so much to say #it took me WEEKS to put this together #and it still looks like shit i fear #it's not even the art that was the hard part #i got that done before i decided to make a yap on tumblr #i am so tired... grrrr #whatever. go my maniaes.#i love them sorry you have to deal with my rambles #art #oc art #oc #oc info #oc lore #sketchbook #how do i tag this mess #AEONIyaps #AEONIocs

Angel Jin, The True Form of Jin Himself That Was Only Used Once

In Tekken 8, thanks to the power of the new Light of Hope that Jun gave to Jin, his Devil form was purified into Angel Jin, which he used in the second part of his final fight between him and True Devil Kazuya. Although Jin now no longer has access to this form (including his Devil form as well), he remembered everything about it in the Tekken 8 SXT stories, even finding out that the fight involving it was televised via a satellite, thanks to Hayato Yugami (T8 SXT-exclusive character and also an OC of mine). Here are the quotes that mention Angel Jin from the T8 SXT stories. Enjoy!!!

“So what was it like when you first transformed into your angel form?” “It felt like I had gained the power of a god in my own body. The light of hope from the flower my mother gave me was what made me transform not into a new devil, but a new angel that had the power of a god in his own body, with power levels high enough to fight against the true form of Devil Kazuya.” “That’s just amazing to hear from you, Jin. I actually saw your fights between you and Kazuya, but I knew (dang) well that you were going to win, knowing how high your power levels were.” “I know, Hayato. But I only used that form once, because not only did I sacrifice that form in the final few fights between me & Kazuya, I also sacrificed my Devil form as well. Now I no longer have access to either form, because I saved the world from evil, and with the war over, me and Xiao can finally get married, but that’s still a long way off, as I had suffered a lot of injuries on my body that can easily be healed, but not through normal methods.” “Well, Jin, the answer is something that you might not expect. You actually experienced that situation before, but I’ll explain it later.” “OK then. Let’s go back to where Lee is and talk about it to him.”

-Jin, explaining to Hayato about his angel transformation and what it felt like for him, from “Strength Does Not Matter”

“When I transformed into my new angel form, I felt like I had the power of a god, with intense amounts of power flowing through my body, inside and out. It was like I had become a god myself, with Kazuya in his True Devil Form representing the devil in his own god form since he had absorbed Azazel into his own body, but on the side of evil. But thanks to the voices of everyone that I heard inside my head, with most of them coming from Xiaoyu, Lars, Alisa, Lee, & even my mother Jun, as well as the power I had taken in of my own from every time I held my friends’ hands, my power levels were 10 million times higher than that of Kazuya, who would eventually lose to me, even after we sacrificed our Devil Genes in our own bodies. But even though Kazuya is now out cold, I found out from Lee that Zafina & Claudio had actually survived Kazuya’s deadly attacks; however, Hayato already put them in recovery areas, and he had ended up saving their bodies which now had injuries all over them. And I also found out that the fighters from the 8th tournament that were on G Corp’s side were able to get along with us again, as they found out about Kazuya’s true intentions. Also, I have a long way to go with recovering all of my injuries that I had sustained from every fight I had, mainly with Kazuya. That’s what I should really be doing right now, but for now, I have to go back to where Hayato is so he can tell me what my first step of my healing/recovery process should be. He knows a lot about that stuff, thankfully.”

-Jin, explaining what fighting was like in his new angel form, as well as other info he found out about, including his recovery, from “A Time to Heal”

“Did all that armor on your body feel weighted on you, Jin?” “Hayato, I actually didn’t feel any kind of weight at all on my body after I transformed into my new angel form. The armor on me actually felt lighter than a feather, but it made me look like a god-tier entity, with one goal set on saving the entire world—mainly from the evil force Kazuya had created and also turned himself into.” “That’s actually really cool, Jin. When I observed your final fight between you and Kazuya that was in outer space via a satellite Violet Systems HQ had, you were using your new godlike attacks with high precision, that was, until your form’s sacrifice. Now, a lot of people around the world will recognize you as the chosen one who saved the world from evil, because of that angel form you used.” “I understand that, Hayato. Everyone around the world will start to like me again, but this time as a savior instead of a tyrant. And I will also finally be able to start a family after I marry Xiao & have children with her. My mom once told me that if I start a family, my kids will be just as strong as me—just that nowadays, they won’t have any trace of the Devil Gene in their bodies like me for the rest of my life.” “OK, Jin. Let’s go back to the main area. Lee has some good stuff to tell us.”

-Jin, explaining to Hayato what fighting in his new angel form was like, with Hayato also telling Jin that he is now a savior of the world, from “Strength Does Not Matter”

“I knew that I was the one that would save the world after my newest transformation into my new angel form. Everyone was watching me via a satellite transmission, and they knew that I was going to win. Of course, even after I sacrificed my Devil Gene, fought against Kazuya, and eventually defeated him, I became that savior after reuniting with Xiao and even Hayato, Lars, Alisa, & Lee, because the entire world now knows I saved the world from evil, along with me having future plans for starting a family after I marry Xiao. We deserve to be together, and I am no longer under any kind of evil influence, which means my children will have the same power levels as me—and even be just like me in terms of their fighting skills.”

-Jin, explaining that his new angel form led him to become the savior of the world, from “A New Start”

Gone from Jin's body, but truly never forgotten. And he really did save the world because everyone saw him in that fight. Angel Jin is a Tekken character to always remember, man. 😇😇😇😇😇

#tekken #tekken 8 #jin kazama #devil jin #angel jin #angel jin just makes me wanna look at him over & over again #dreamfactory #aae zone #anbu ally enterprises #final showdown #fight in outer space #hayato yugami #light of hope #true power #the ultimate power lies in an angel with god-like powers #final fight in outer space #cool #super cool

Back to our regularly scheduled Alice-asking with Anon McGee.

After playing the game for a few hours and getting through some stuff, I have some thoughts. None in particular for any sort of request [although, at the time of writing this specific part, I am unsure of if I'll tack one onto the beginning of this ask [I did not]. I am also unsure of if it will be related at all], but they're still interesting and maybe can be used for this stuff going forward [for as long as I keep requesting such self indulgent things].

1. Teeth are a currency. Not a whole lot to do with that one, but it is incredibly strange to me even still.

2. Many of the enemies are made visibly of this black, ink-like ooze. Not all of them, but a good majority of them. I feel this means overblots may cause additional layers of stress because of the implications it might cause [something to do with the fact that this inky substance was what corrupted Alice's wonderland, it sounds like it COULD be taken as a physical representation of that same kind of corruption, and the overblotter going literally insane. Could be good oneshot fuel?]

3. Alice is actually SUPER chill in the environment of the wonderland aside from when it's actively trying to kill her [although the reaction does not necessarily have to apply to the reader character we've been using as a stressball for these scenarios, I think it's pretty interesting and likely means that the initial reaction to the students of Heartslaybyul would be void should I have known prior to this that wonderland was actually pretty alright and fine for the most part]

4. Another minor detail that doesn't really mean a lot, but in the Hatter's domain, there's flamingos all over the place. While I was exploring, I saw several just sort of Around. In cages, hung up on walls, some- upon entry- were on those like.. Spitroasters or whatever they are. Many were on wheels being forced to run to give power to some machinery. They all looked pretty... Not alive, though. Also, they were strangely dodo shaped, but that's neither here nor there.

That's all I have for the moment regarding that! Feel free to take it and run however you want, I can't think of any specific request I can give relating to any of these except for the overblot one

Dang, this game sounds absolutely vicious, I love it XD

I need to take your mind and put it in a little glass jar filled with water to observe it (meant in a positive way). Maybe shake it around some to see what kinda scenarios pop out.

But the best I can come up with are some *. * ·imagines*. * · to keep your brain occupied for now

Imagine an MC who- in every single fight they get dragged into (which is an awful lot in the game lmao)- stays behind for a moment to collect some of the teeth punched out by spells and fists. The broken ones that are cracked aren't worth much, they say to their friends who ask what they're doing, but the whole teeth can buy you a lot of good things. Much to the horror of the Twisted Wonderland students, it's eventually realized that MC thinks that teeth are a currency here. They don't know why, but can only speculate that it's from the same issues from before... Riddle eventually ends up begging (or as close to begging as he can get-) for Azul to tell you about Twisted Wonderland's currency. Horrified yet intrigued by your grotesque idea of money, Azul teaches you about merfolk economics, as well as the thaumarks people use on land...of course, he's going to try and get you to explain the whole "teeth currency" thing to him, and what makes one tooth worth more than others.

The inky enemies would actually make for a KILLER oneshot, I might have to write something along the lines of it one day... Maybe Twisted Wonderland (or at least, the part that held the Queen of Hearts in it) and Alice's Wonderland are two sides of the same coin...? While they're both in different dimensions (maybe even parallel to one another!), they're both similar. The main difference was that Alice's Wonderland is isolated from the rest of the world, while "Twisted Wonderland" had different cultures and societies to expand with? The isolation caused some in Alice's Wonderland to "Overblot" (or, at least, some form of it) and become enemy bosses. So maybe Overblots are slightly different in each world, but they're still present!

Imagine an MC who (after having a few breakdowns at first regarding Heartslabyul) eventually calms down...to the point where everyone gets extremely worried about them. Riddle accidentally says "Off with your head!" to an unruly student within their earshot, but MC is so chill that they look...almost zoned out, their eyes glazed over. Like they're in a completely different world. As the overblots go on throughout their stay in Twisted Wonderland, MC's calm demeanor only gets worse. They don't seem to react hardly at all to- well, anything. It's like they've just accepted where they are and the danger they're in.

Mmm short and squat dodo-like flamingos. I like to think that our poor MC, after first seeing the flamingos in Heartslabyul, didn't actually see them, but saw their not-quite-alive bodies wandering around, some being roasted over a fire, others lurking ominously behind bushes, some in cages. All some form of injured or deadish. It would most definitely take a while until MC could see the creatures as they truly were (that is, alive and well, and most definitely not so creepy), but until then, they take it in stride. No one even knows how MC sees the flamingos until they offhandedly mention it one day, and Cater's just like "....no?? Why would we be roasting flamingos???"
