Annie Cresta

There's not that much info about Annie, and not from Annie herself ... Which made her lots of fun to draw, just to figure her out.

On the left she's in her wedding dress which she got from Katniss. We know that it's green and has a very specific embroidery that makes it uniquely one of Cinna's works.... And wow, did I give it my all with the embroidery. (Never again!) It now has a very vintage flair to it which I think would have appealed to Annie.

In the middle, it's what I imagine her to wear during her Victor's Crowning ... if she even made it that far. Maybe she would still be in shock for a while until she was breaking down during her interview with Caesar? That's how everyone would know about her mental state after the Games. I imagine she would be forced to wear something sexy and very distinct for District 4 so it's mostly blue. The cape is a reminiscent of waves and a sea shell.

The upper right would be her after being freed and bright to District 13. She was described as "lovely, but bedraggled".

The last one ... well, I had some white space left. 😜

relationship: platonic

How do Undertale characters react if their friend (inadvertently) holds their hand like a little kid? either to cross the street or just to guide them

(context? the friend has a little brother so he does it automatically without knowing)

Undertale Sans - He stares at his hand, mind blank. Uh. You're... You're dragging him around and he's just following. He's not too sure about this though. Sans is not very comfortable with a lot of physical touch, but he doesn't want to be mean either so he just... Follows you. He's just staring at his hand hoping you will get the message eventually that you can let go. Please?

Undertale Papyrus - Oh, he doesn't mind. Papyrus loves touching people anyway and he holds everyone hands when he's excited. He doesn't really react when you just randomly hold his hand because that's just something he does so it's fine. At best, he's flattered you're starting to imitate him. Such a good role model.

Undertale Toriel - She really doesn't mind either and she tends to do it anyway whenever someone crosses the road, either you, Frisk, Undyne or even Asgore once. Road is dangerous. She is older and she already experienced the road before all of you youngers, let her lead the way. She likes holding hands in general, it helps her to be less nervous in public.

Undertale Asgore - He has this small little smile. He thinks it's funny you're instinctively clinging to him to cross the road. That's change from humans being scared of him. He is glad he's making you feel a little safer in his company. Not every humans are this trustworthy around him. He likes it.

Undertale Undyne - The first times, she immediately takes her hand away, but the more time passes, the more she just accepts her fate, simply rolling her eyes or sighs deeply at you. You're taming her. You know you are.

Undertale Alphys - It's almost an instinct. Alphys is so nervous she's doing it too. Now you took the habit to immediately hold each other hands to comfort yourself, even if you're in group and there's like people between you. You're road crossing support buddies lol.

Undertale Frisk - Years of Toriel's training made them not even realise you're holding their hands. They're a natural at this. Frisk does it with everyone anyway. Toriel was so paranoid about their safety younger (it doesn't help Frisk sometimes just disappeared because they felt like so), she kinda traumatised everyone the day she decided to lecture all his friends for two hours about how to watch after a kid and Frisk found themselves suddenly holding everyone's hands. So yeah, they don't mind.

Undertale Chara - They refuse to move as long as you're holding their hand, even if you're dragging them. They don't like that. Please let go. There's a low chance they might hiss if it's happening too often.

Undertale Mettaton - You did it only once. Mettaton kinda forgot you were here and suddenly kicked you in the face to pose dramatically for no reason, knocking you out. Since this day, you're keeping a safe distance with the robot.

Undertale Gaster - It scares him everytime since not a lot of people dare to touch him and he accidentally disappear back into the void instinctively, leaving you all alone in the middle of the street. Woops.

Undertale Grillby - He got surprised the first few times, but now, he's waiting for you before crossing a road, hand open for you to take. He doesn't mind and he likes to help, so here you go.

Undertale Muffet - You're staring at her four hands, not able to choose which one you should hold. Muffet is staring at you, wondering what the hell you're doing, just going for a hand, then retracting and chosing another one. "Dearie, please choose one or I will eat you." You give her a shocked look, gasps, and runs to take Grillby's hand instead. Now she's just mad AND jealous.

Undertale Burgerpants - He won't let you drag him anywhere. When he is off work is like his only moment of liberty of the week, he's not going to obey anyone. He scratches your hand, gives you a dark stare and turns away, walking straight into a wall and knocking himself out. You barely hold your laugh. Please someone ends him.

Undertale Flowey - He sighs. You sometimes forget you're tall and that he is only a small flower. He's hanging a few inches above ground by his wine, screeching angrily and struggling, but you're not listening to him and it's not like he can force you in this humiliating position. He's so mad.

Undertale Gerson - Actually, it's better as Gerson is easily distracted with pretty things and kinda forgets he's following people sometimes, so someone dragging him around is kinda useful. Well, be careful though, the old turtle has enough force to drag you as well and he's very stubborn, so have fun with that.

PORTWELL LONG GAME OR RINA SLOWBURN.

You can only choose one poison.🍷

Listen up my Wildcats.🐱

We all ship each character with happiness. No matter how much you love to hate them, a majority of us simply adores the characters and want the best for them. Then comes relationships and it's okay to ship our favorites.⛴

I'm a diehard Rina shipper and I know in my heart that they are series endgame. The set up, the natural chemistry, their mutual understanding, the surprises and angst literally put me on chokehold. So I'm 100% a Rina shipper till the end. I'm here for the slowburn and their development rather than one shots. They are worth the pain. 😭❤

Let me start with Ricky Bowen now.

Ricky shouldn't to be with Gina because he's hurting her mentality. He's not insensitive on purpose. Like when he tried to stop Big Red from telling her his message to Nina because he KNOWS it'll hurt her.

If you think, that Ricky didn't understand clearly when Gina confessed, think again. He shushed her. Kept their thing a secret from everyone. He knows he feels some type of way and she feels something too. But this boy is so used to safeguarding his childhood norms and has very little adaptability. Hence, he pretended to ignore everything between them because his home stability was falling apart and he clinged on to Nina, his constant childhood love.

He's a traumatised 16-17 year old boy that needs to heal and grow. This episode was heartbreaking because he had to accept that he had to let Nina go because their once upon a time fairytale had become toxic.

People change. I'm not the same person I was when I was 16 lmao. Being together as childhood lovers means growing together and accepting each other's growth. Which Ricky couldn't. He clutched to the idea of Nini. Even his love confession. It was sooo sweet but all he did was focus on their history.

This boy needs time to heal and maybe seek professional therapy. It would be so DAMN HISTORIC if Disney decides to take psychological issues seriously and show how he's dealing with his anxiety, pills and psychotherapy. He needs to breathe before he can be with any girl for that matter. He's hurting and isn't trying to hurt anyone on purpose. Including Gina.

Him asking her for advice on Nini was a dumb, insensitive move. But he's trying to find a way to build some supportive friendship that they shared in early season one.

As for now, this boy needs to get his own grip on life and heal.

As for our Queen Gina

In Gina's confession, she focuses on their future. She basically said, "I wouldn't quit on a possible future of us being together despite obstacles. Because I never quit. But moving away isn't in my control." Ricky deep down knows this, encouraged her to say it, teary eyed, despite right after getting back together with Nini. Gina is his future. She went to his new house. And I also have this feeling that when she was given a chance to stay, she stayed partly because of Ricky. She left a chance to be with her mom because she prioritised their relationship. Because she never quits. 💪🏼

But she came back and found out Ricky has gotten back together with Nini.😭 What she doesn't know is Ricky got together with Nina before her confession, and after Gina kept dodging his messages. She's hurt and questions why she returned because she isn't particularly close to anyone. Hence, she was so silent at the after party. She thinks it'll be fine, "she'll live", and finds other reasons to find permanence. Her arc this season has been settling down in East High, despite the pain of losing and being 'betrayed' by Ricky, she finds other reasons to stay. 🏡

This kind of contrasts her with Nina. Nina left her dream school and came to Salt Lake because she missed her established home, and not just because of Ricky. Nina returned and was loved and embraced by Ricky Bowen.💕 Gina came back to a semi new place called Salt Lake because of her promise of a future to Ricky. But she got stabbed and she bled. 💔🗡

Think about her situation. She feels confused, alone, heartbroken, out of place and seperated from her mom. She's broken and hurting too. And she doesn't need more from Ricky's accidental or intentional 'sick burns'. That's the one line where he was such a jerk and I can't defend him here. 😠

Here comes the Caswells.

Her second family. A place of healthy stability. A home that accepted her. Ashlyn, her roomie and her confidante. EJ, the misunderstood boy who saw her value and bought her plane ticket.

Let's get to EJ.

At first, I wasn't too keen on seeing Portwell's development. But then that video chat where they talk about the possibility of her staying and him convincing her. Had me sold for a solid brother-sister relationship. Few episodes later, when Gina's pain seemed to be oblivious to everyone, he was the only one who asked her how she was, and saw her glow. The comfort she must've felt.

Not that she needs a man's validation, but she must be feeling like a second choice and feeling a little insecure because of Ricky. But EJ lifts her up and I genuinely saw her smile. This boy has her back whenever. The man she can lean on and truly sees how special she is. She no longer feels alone now that she has his entire fam and other friends. She genuinely feels a place of belonging and happiness when she's the apple of his eye. Notice how happy she is? How happy this boy is? She's going through her own issues and she has found ground with EJ.

I was very doubtful when they started hinting at a romantic direction. Because EJ would be used as plot device again for a girl to get to Ricky.😤 This man doesn't deserve to be second best to anyone, just like Gina.😑 That's why I'm still hesitant on shipping them at least temporarily. EJ needs to be something even more special to Gina. They need to show each other how special and treasured they are to each other despite feeling like rejects. They are each other's source of comfort.

I'm sure they can keep EJ at East High for the next season. Whether it's the drama club, or the AV club or going to a local college. So he will be there for Gina. I don't know how they can work out a relationship with much distance as Rini's fell out when she moved away. So, if EJ leaves again, it'll again shake up Gina. Her being worried whether he'll date college girls, second thoughts, etc. I don't want them to go through that. And if they do move on to romantic Portwell, make sure it's not plot device for Rina. So you can either have Portwell endgame or Rina Endgame.

Basically I want Gina to be treated so right that she understands she doesn't need Ricky. And when he does ask her out, and he makes her feel like a second choice or a rebound, she says NO. Because EJ has helped regain her self assurance. Eventually I want Gina to confide in EJ about her and Ricky. EJ is jealous but also angry about how Ricky has been hurting her. And becomes damn protective of his 'babe'. Ricky gets jealous of their relationship, restarting Ricky and EJ's old rivalry. But this time, it's not because Gina is his girlfriend, but because she's EJ's best friend who he has a crush on and wants what's best for her.

If it's meant to be Rina endgame

EJ- RICKY, YOU IDIOT! You have no clue how to treat her right. You don't put her first. You mislead her. Get the hell away from her! She's too powerful and beautiful, she doesn't deserve your scraps. I know how she feels for you. I wish I were you. I would treat her like a queen. I don't mind even waiting years till she's ready. She deserves that. You're so lucky you have even a small chance that I may never have. So get your act together, prove you're worth it to win her over. All I want is for her to be happy. Even if it's with someone else. And maybe then I'll stop threatening you to stay away from her.😠

Ricky- .....I don't know what I'm more scared of. Change, or losing the girl I fell for or YOU. Okay, losing her but you're a close second.😬

If it's Portwell endgame.

Ricky- I messed up. Make sure you don't mess up with her. You'll regret it forever.

EJ- I'd rather get hit by thousand basketballs than ever hurt her. I'll be her plus one and her best friend until she's ready to be with me. I know she's ready now too. But I want her to know I'm willing to wait till she graduates before we make it official. I'm in it for the long game.

As for their age gap. I'm 100% sure Portwell won't kiss this season. If they do, it'll be next when Sofia turns 18. They are professional actors who are cast because they are the perfect fit for the role and are expected to carry out the storyline. But I suppose fearing some outbursts, they might delay Sofia kissing anyone till next season. It's so weird because Olivia was maybe 17 when Matt was 21-22 when they kissed in season one. But no one had a problem with that. But for this, they do. Remember, they are professional actors. They are acting! Sometimes, actors are over 10 years apart (but above 18) and act as romantic partners.

As for their characters, they are only two years apart. That's hardly any difference once you're over the age of 18. Age of consent is 16. But adults above 18 are only allowed to have sex with adults above 18. So, age isn't a problem here because EJ is a gentleman and is genuinely interested in her and isn't trying to get in her pants. So age isn't the issue when it comes to dating. It's the maturity. Gina is very mature and gives very sound advice. But I can see EJ being patient enough till she turns 18 just to kiss her because he loves her. 😚

As for the Ashlyn remark, "You look like a kid to me rn". He was JOKING.😂 Don't take things out of context. I tell my cousin sister that all the time. But she's three years younger than me and a grown adult. I don't see her as a kid but it's just a cousin teasing her younger cousin that's she's a little immature. I'm Matt's age and I'm very mature for my age and since I was a teenager, I always matched up with boys a little older than me. Now that I'm in my early 20s, I've dated boys even close to 30. So age is just a number.

EJ dating Gina and giving her quick kisses is fine. But to have a strong sexual element in their relationship (including making out), he'll have to wait till she's 18+. And I'm sure for that he'll wait till she's ready even past her early 20s. Age is really just a number and we can't help who we fall in love with. Trust me, I've been there.😂 So I can see EJ feeling conflicted about his feelings that are clear at this point.

They might not be a perfect fit, but they make each other sooo happy. They deserve a lot more than a short lived fling.😟 They are either endgame or Rina is. You can't have both as a Rina unless you're an EJ hater who wants him to exist as plot device. Nope! He's sooo much more precious than that.

But Jack on the other hand....I'm okay if he's the one to make Ricky or EJ jealous. Because he's just been introduced and it's okay if a character is used, but only once, for someone else to realize their feelings. 💁🏽‍♀️

In short.

Ricky needs help and needs to be on his own. No girlfriends allowed.🙅🏽‍♀️🚫

Needs to give both Gina and Nina space for them to grow on their own too.🌳

Ricky needs to understand the core of his problems and become more adaptable via therapy. Maybe the psychologist will point out his unresolved feelings for Gina, or he will conclude it himself. And in comes Ricky-pining-for-Gina season three.

Ricky needs to fully get over Nina before he moves on to anyone. Same for Gina if Portwell were to happen. No one deserves to be second choice.

Gina isn't Ricky's cushion. She's a living person with strong feelings for him and shouldn't be subjected to share his pain. She already struggles with her own issues.

Ricky needs to stay single till he wins back Gina and prove he's worth it. He needs to show even if another girl wants him, he'll never quit on Gina ever again. Even if he has to watch her be with someone else. *cough parallels*.

It's either romantic Rina then Portwell endgame OR Portwell flirty besties but Rina endgame. You and I can choose only one because my boy EJ shouldn't be used as plot device for a girl to leave for Ricky ever again.

Portwell's age difference can be practically solved and isn't much of an issue unless they get hot and heavy before Gina turns 18 which is impossible considering this is Disney. 🤣🤣

Jack and Gina will be plot device material and purely so sentimental to us OG Andi Mack fans. More than any ship, this is what I'm looking for. Sort of an Andi Mack crack ship for season 3a. It's gonna be soooo funny. 😍😂

I respect everyone's ship. I see what you're seeing. And I'm not going to invalidate your ship. But unless it's done right, I won't jump from the Rina ship. I liked Rini. I like Portwell. I like AU Juffy crackship haha.😂 But as for me, I'm still holding on to Rina slowburn.

Preparing myself for the pain. 😭🔥

(But if I had to pair two characters without Disney getting in the way, it would be Gini. The power duo. Undeniable chemistry. They can be written so well because of their layered relationship and contrasting personalities.🤩 The classic rivals to friends to lovers. But that's a talk for another day lmao.)

Thanks for reading my opinion, Wildcat!🐱❤

[tenthgrove]

Small ask (but only if you're comfy with it): how would yandere la squadra react if they found out that while they were away on a mission their darling not only ended up having an ons but it also lead to a pregnancy scare? Would they be mad at darling or at the other party? Would they take it as a sign that their darling needs to be brought to safety (*cough* abducted *cough*) immediately? Or would they try to console darling instead of getting angry because they went through something scary?

Near Miss

La Squadra x Reader (GN), Yandere, SFW

(A/N: This wasn't my intention but I ended up writing so much for this I may as well package it as a full headcanon request. Sometimes an idea just carries me away lol. Also just a reminder that full requests are closed for a few more days so please don't send any. Mini requests are still being accepted though.)

Formaggio- Oof, he knows the feeling. He can name several chicks he almost knocked up on accident, and he can only hope the asshole at least gave you the common courtesy of paying for any related medical costs like he did. Commiserations aside, Formaggio isn't too bothered by the incident, treating it with a 'these things happen' attitude, and going about his plans to obtain you at the same pace as before.

Illuso- Like the symbolism of his stand's domain, Illuso is the prince of envy. Any interactions you have with a potential other suitor cause him great panic. On the odd chance he actually stopped stalking you long enough to let you get down with someone, he completely freaks out and moves to abduct you at once. Though he makes clear what spurred him to do this, he does make clear he isn't mad at you, at least. You almost-baby daddy is probably dead though.

Prosciutto- As the kind of yandere to get to know his darling prior to showing his true colours, Prosciutto is a little hurt by your one night stand as it demonstrates you probably aren't attracted to him yet. Still, he's slept with plenty of prostitutes in his time so he can't really be mad at you, although he is a little disappointed you would be careless enough to almost get yourself pregnant. Probably still speeds up his abduction plans though, as he can't help his jealousy.

Pesci- Even if you aren't well acquainted yet Pesci will fuss over you excessively, making sure the hookup didn't make you do anything you're uncomfortable with and you aren't traumatised by the near-pregnancy. This aside, the incident really stoked his fear of losing you to another man. If his attempts to talk you out of more one-night-stands for the sake of your safety fail, expect an abduction in the coming weeks.

Melone- In spite of the way he acts with his stand Melone takes the issue of real-life reproductive health very seriously and is disturbed by the concept of you almost getting pregnant with a child you aren't emotionally ready for. He won't jump to abducting you as he is a yandere against rash decisions, but you may find little gifts of contraception added to the usual trinkets he leaves around your house.

Ghiaccio- An insanely jealous yandere, Ghiaccio is incredibly livid at the thought of you getting into a one night stand. He isn't angry at you per say, but he's terrified this could somehow lead to him losing you so he kidnaps you at once without much forethought. As for the near-miss pregnancy, he feels no extra bother because of that and will be happy to offer you comfort for your scary experience, once you are safe within his home.

Risotto- To be angered with you for pursuing other lovers when you had no idea he even existed would be just foolish, and Risotto knows it. Provided there's no risk of you running off with the almost-father and your taste in hookups isn't a danger to you, Risotto does not adjust his plans. Once he has you, he is happy to offer you reassurance that if you had become pregnant, he would support you in whatever choice you made.

Sorbet and Gelato- Are you sure you're not really pregnant? It's just that Sorbet and Gelato have been wanting a kid for a really long time and they don't care about genetics. Not that they'd force you to carry it if you didn't want to, of course. Anyway, ignoring the pregnancy scare, Sorbet and to a lesser extent Gelato aren't really the jealous sort so they don't mind you had a hookup. There is a debate about whether to speed up kidnapping you just in case this somehow creates problems, but it ultimately is not the deciding factor about when the time will come.
