#his mentor did eventually find out about them and wasn't very happy about it

[canisalbus]

Is that canon!?! Was Machete just really naive/didn't really understand the implications of his relationship to Vasco? Did his mentor ever find out about them or discuss such things with him? I assume bc he didn't have parents, he kinda didn't get educated on sex or anything. Was it a big shock to realize he was "sinning"?

Blaster and Bumblebee/Goldbug

After reading the entire Marvel UK G1 comics continuity, one thing I've concluded is that I really want to see Bumblebee and Blaster hang out again. Blaster is somewhat famous for being very different from his Sunbow cartoon interpretation in these comics, being hot-headed in the comics but chill in the show, but honestly he becomes more in-line with that version of himself over time and I think Bumblebee was a large part of that. Continuing to have Bumblebee and Blaster as friends in new media would be a great thing.

Look at this awkward moment lol

See their story below the cut:

Blaster was introduced as an Autobot who was part of the Cybertronian resistance, trying to liberate the planet from the Decepticons. He had a partner named Scrounge who he seemed to have a hot-and-cold dynamic with.

But when Scrounge was captured and executed by the Decepticon leader Straxus in a horrific way (being melted by acid, which Straxus did to POWs in order to turn them into ingots) and died to send the message to the other Autobots that the Ark's crew were alive on Earth, Blaster became very embittered.

Meanwhile, on Earth, Bumblebee was struggling with feeling like he wasn't a valued member of the Autobots. He was treated like someone to protect, and when he was asked to mentor Tracks, Smokescreen, and Skids, Bumblebee ended up feeling like the whole affair was a wash.

I think it's worth noting how similar Blaster's dead partner, Scrounge, really is to Bumblebee. Obviously they're both little yellow guys, but beyond that, both felt like the load to their respective teams, even though that wasn't actually true. Scrounge even dies happy that he feels he was finally good for something. Scrounge was also a spy, which is kind of similar to Bumblebee's role in G1 as a scout.

Anyway, things happen, in an infamous moment, Optimus Prime kills himself over the deaths of video game NPCs. Blaster and the rest of his crew get to Earth via Space Bridge. Bumblebee gets blown up and then rebuilt into Goldbug. Grimlock takes control of the Autobots and immediately acts like a tyrant, culminating in his ordering Blaster and Goldbug to just start killing humans who are getting in their way during a mission. Blaster's cynicism and Goldbug's ideals actually mean they're on the same page in their disgust for their leader, so they go off alone.

Blaster is honestly an emotional wreck, channeling all this grief into hatred for the Decepticons. He's furious when Goldbug is shocked to hear that Blaster let his partner die.

These comics really tried to sell us on "Deceps" as a shortened version of "Decepticons." It did not catch on

When Goldbug has to go off alone while Blaster's battling the Decepticons, because Blaster and the Decepticons all got infected with Scraplets and Goldbug needs to find a cure, Blaster starts cursing Goldbug's name and Goldbug (IMO correctly) notes that if he tried to explain his good reasons for leaving mid-fight, Blaster wouldn't believe him.

When Goldbug does come back for him, Blaster lets his anger overwhelm him again, to the point of wanting to die via acid—the same way his old partner died—with the Decepticons rather than living.

But the Scraplets become too powerful to defeat this way, so Goldbug sticks to ideal and rebels. He knows they need their enemies' help to defeat the Scraplets. He saves them and Blaster both.

Blaster changes his mind about the whole thing, accepting their friendship, even seeing it as the "cure" for his inability to trust.

Goldbug's kindness softens Blaster a lot, something that is important throughout the rest of the issues in which he's the main character. He even lets Grimlock capture him in order to save the lives of some human children.

Eventually, Goldbug's also imprisoned by Grimlock. Blaster, having been tortured at Grimlock's command, is again starting to doubt what the point of caring about other people even is anymore. But Goldbug knows Blaster by this point. He knows that vengeance and anger drive him, so he knows just what to say to get him to knock some sense into the tyrant!

Many other things happen after this point, like Blaster being temporarily deactivated, as is Goldbug, and Goldbug getting rebuilt back into Bumblebee by Ratchet. But I think what's especially important is that Bumblebee takes on a leadership role, even sort of becoming Grimlock's superior.

I know this post has been all summary and very little analysis, but I know a lot of people don't know this continuity's stories so I felt it was necessary. What I really want to emphasize is how Bumblebee and Blaster made each other better people, and how Blaster feels like an equal to Bumblebee when Bumblebee's so often put into the role of a mentee or mentor to others. Bumblebee wanted to be needed by someone and to move away from the "little brother" role he often serves, and he became Blaster's equal and was needed by him in Blaster's time of mourning, then later became a leader. Goldbug helped Blaster calm down and become more openly caring. And the thing is, I really feel like even divorced from this specific storyline, this relationship could easily carry over into other continuities since both characters love Earth culture.

I'm also aware that Earthspark has Bumblebee talk about how Breakdown is like a brother to him and that their interactions have similarities to this dynamic. Since that show often focuses on post-War interactions between Autobots and Decepticons, it makes sense. But I really do want to see Blaster and Bumblebee again because I often feel like Blaster is neglected from a characterization standpoint and these comics give him some of the most depth and such a great relationship with an ultra-prominent character.

[just-a-bic-lighter]

With how I see the Spuriken ship, it's a right people wrong time dynamic. In Blackwatch, Genji is too angry and self loathing to pay any mind to any sort of romantic relationship. Cole is obnoxiously supportive and understanding, but also shares his unhealthy coping mechanisms which Genji latches onto as a distraction. Drinking, smoking, throwing themselves into training and missions.

It would definitely be Cole who confesses his feelings, but Genji wouldn't be receptive to them at the time. Probably lamenting that with his mangled human body and extensive cybernetics the only one who would like him is someone who unironically thinks dressing like a cowboy is cool. Then when Genji leaves Blackwatch to join Overwatch they get closer as friends, but Genji would refuse to listen to Cole complain about Blackwatch stuff because he hated it there so much.

After Overwatch blows up and they leave, Cole would definitely keep tabs on Genji and the others from Overwatch to make sure they're okay, keeping his distance because he's a wanted man and doesn't want to drag them into his messes. He would lose track of Genji when Genji finds the Shambali monks and begins his own healing process. Meanwhile, Cole is stuck, alone and in survival mode, continuing on with his coping methods of drinking and smoking.

Then Overwatch is recalled, and Cole doesn't think he's what they need. Especially after how Blackwatch was the catalyst in Overwatch's downfall. Then he finds out Ana is alive and meets with her and he realizes how alone he's been and how much he wants to return to a cause and be with people he cares about. He would bring back the new blood, happy to be reunited with Fareeha, and he definitely would form a mentor relationship with Hana, similar to what Ana did for him when he was that young. He would reunite with Genji for the first time in years and be completely blown away at how happy and at peace he is, only having small glimpses of an unburdened Genji towards the end of Overwatch.

Genji would be excited to see Cole, one of the people who put him on the path of realizing that he needed help in the first place. He knows now that what they had in Blackwatch wasn't healthy and he wants to reform a relationship on better ground. But he does like how familiar everything is with Cole, like even with all the time, nothing has changed and they are still very close. As they get closer again, he would realize that he wants more and had wanted more for a long time. Meanwhile, Cole would still be respecting the boundaries set from when he confessed the first time, not wanting to overstep anything. So Genji would have to initiate things.

Eventually, Genji would realize that Cole is still haunted by a lot of demons from his past, and would know that he wouldn't be enough to help. Genji would convince Cole to get some much needed therapy from Zenyatta. Cole wouldn't be into it at first, after all, he had survived this long without it, and if anything, what he was doing was keeping him alive. But eventually he would come around and find that he could be better, he didn't have to rely on only himself anymore.

Then they could heal together and finally be happy in the new and improved Overwatch where they both have purpose and be with the people who mean the most to them fighting alongside them.

My brainrot is real and this sure is a shitty summary of a thing I've been writing. ✍️

Ok just one more punk progeny won't hurt ~

Chapter 3: consent (part 1)

(Ftm trans Bright eyes - he/him pronouns)

Let it never be said that Samuel was proud of the way he had treated Bright when he was first turned.

He was harsh, however at the time it seemed appropriate considering Bright had essentially led Sam's progeny to his death.

Because of that, Sam had placed all the blame onto Bright since the beginning of his turning.

That combined with Bright eye's already existing young-adult-angst, newborn vampire emotions and a newfound hunger.....let's just say they didn't exactly mix well.

However it wouldn't be fair to leave out the struggling situation Sam had found himself in at the time.

He had a thousand excuses but none of them got him any sympathy from Bright. But its not as if Sam was looking for it.

He only began to regret his treatment towards Bright after meeting his darlin, Tanker.

Meeting Tank gave Sam a chance to better understand Bright.

Maybe it was wrong to say, but they had so much in common. And the way Tank talked about how they acted in their adolescents, it made sense that they got along with Bright so well.

Admittedly, introducing the two was a way to get Bright off his hands but funly enough, Bright having somone he could talk to that he knew wouldn't judge him was actually decreasing the amount of arguing Sam and Bright did.

So, when Sam got a call from William requesting a meeting, he wasn't anticipating it being about Bright eyes.

He assumed it would be something to do with Porter coming back or the upcoming summit, maybe Sam would be lucky enough to find out why he wouldn't be attending.

So you can imagine his surprise when William revealed that the meeting was about his troubled grand progeny.

His instant reaction was getting very quiet and eventually saying in a cold and serious tone

"What did he do?"

But William was quick to jump to his defence

"He didn't do anything Samuel, you have nothing to fear"

He said this but after a moment, William looked...unsure

Maybe it was a good idea not to mention the whole, broke one of my walls and burst into my office situation, thought William.

"With all do respect your highness, I don't believe you"

"I assure you, nore him or yourself are in any form of trouble"

Sam paused for a moment

"Then what is this meeting about?"

William sighed, Sam prepared himself for what was to come but no matter what, he would have never anticipated this.

"It is no secret that you two don't get along very well and with all due respect, it's gotten out of hand. I'm aware that your arguing has died down and you know that I am very sympathetic towards you, but tell me, how is Bright doing in terms of his vampire training in comparison to Fred?"

Sam felt embarrassed. He didn't want to seem immature for his treatment of Bright or that he was being petty in any way but he had to answer honestly.

"He's far behind Fred....but that's probably just cos he was turned by someone who was turned 2 seconds before him"

Despite his excuses, William looked like he had heard enough.

"Between your arguing and Brights inability to use and understand his powers, I'm sorry but I don't see you being his mentor going anywhere

It's unfair that your realationship has, though I'm sure unintentionally, stifled his learning"

Sam was defeated. William had made up his mind. And he had nothing to say about it.

Because he was right.

........

"So what do you propose we do?"

"Well~, I've been pondering this idea for a while now and I've ran it by Vincent and asked for the opinion of Bright eyes himself on the matter and~"

William reminded himself not to look so happy and to restrain his excitement.

"I would like to ask for your consent to take Bright eyes on as MY progeny".

Sam was dumbfounded to say the least. There was a part of him that was expecting that but it was such a small part that he didn't expect it to be correct.

After a long pause, Sam began.

"What did Bright say to that?"

William explained that after telling Vincent, he then went to tell Lovely and Bright overheard them.

Sam assumed the worst, Bright bursting in and screaming at William and just genuinely being a brat.

He was prepared to start apologising for whatever Bright did on his behalf but then William went on to say that after he had explained that it was up to him, he calmed down and they had a quote 'delightful' conversion.

Sam couldn't possibly fathom the consept of Bright being 'delightful' but he listened on.

"So he said he'd 'think about it'?"

"Yes"

It was better this way, he knew that, but somehow, for some reason, it still hurt.

He had failed one of his progenys.

"You can have him"

He was about to leave but then somthing came to his attention.

"But before that I have one question...

Why? Why go through all this trouble? Why NOW?"

Sam mentioned to Tank before this meeting that William wasn't one to do things just to be nice but he couldn't think of any other reason why William would want to take in a punk like Bright eyes.

The real reason was simply because......he couldn't help himself.

Every time he has had a new progeny it's been the same.

He couldn't help himself with Alexis and she was a.....disappointment to put it harshly.

So he said "no more. Never again"

Then he saw Vincent and he COULD. NOT. HELP. HIMSELF.

So he said "one last one"

Porter was a different story all together.

And now there was Bright eyes.

He had accepted by now that when he sees a troubled vampire youth he simply cannot help himself.

But he wasn't about to tell Sam that.

"Well....you know the summit is coming up-"

"Ah right of course-"

"Let me finish"

William knew what Sam thought about the summit. That it was just a huge pissing contest and an excuse for vampires to show off to each other.

While he did have a point, it meant more than that to him.

"I simply meant that it would be most convenient to make this kind of decision at this time because if he says yes then its just easier to make arrangements for his coronation. As you know I won't be attending this year so I'll have yo make arrangements for what to do regarding that"

That did technically answer the question of "why NOW" but Sam wasn't convinced.

I guess we won't know until he decides, thought Sam as he got up from his chair and left.

Bright wasn't his problem anymore....so why did he feel so...

Disappointed in himself?

Some headcanons about my favorite chainsaw man characters.

Ignoring the canon, I think the perfect relationship for Hayakawa fam for me is Denji ended up with Reze, Aki ended up with Angel, and Power... remains single. I don't know, I don't think she's into any relationship (yet?). I can't see her being romantically involved with anyone.

Since I love Himeno, I want her to be alive and actually become the matchmaker. Maybe after she's being badly injured & unable to do her job for a while, Aki's assigned a new partner that is Angel. Himeno is super supportive & ecstatic to find out abt Aki/Angel's new development.

Power initially dislikes Reze because she feels like Reze is taking Denji away from her, but she's soften bcs Reze is just that charming. They're quickly become besties. Reze taught her many feminine things and Power absolutely adored her since Reze is just as powerful as Denji. Reze is just like a big sister to her ugh my heart

Also! Kishibe remains the best mentor for all of them. He's the one who's bringing Yoshida into this family, because he saw so many similarities between him and Aki. Yoshida adapts to the family in no time. When Denji finally went to school, Yoshida was his best guide.

LISTEN!!! Everyone loves Meowy. Reze was cautious because she's never one who's getting friendly with animal, but Meowy is just irresistible. Everyone practically melt if it's about Meowy. Meowy getting all the loves she deserves is my not so subtle agenda.

TRIPLE DATE IN HAYAKAWA HOUSEHOLD. Aki with Angel, Denji with Reze, and Power absolutely okay getting cozy with Meowy. Power doesn't care about relationship and she's just happy her family member getting into ones. As long as there's food in this triple date, she's fine. Simple.

Okay, I love angst and unrequited Aki/Himeno is my main fuel. Strangely, Himeno is never jealous of Angel. Because she knows Aki could love more than one person and she knows that Aki would always love her even if his love is not the same kind as her love for him.

Himeno took a glance at Angel and when she heard how depressive Angel was sometime, she just knows that he would fit perfectly with Aki. Himeno be like, "he's truly your soulmate" while Aki was like "????"

Aki didn't recognize his feeling at first. He was still too busy drowning in his belief that Makima is his everything. But after almost losing Himeno, and losing his family, and losing Angel, he just realized that life is so much more than Makima. His feeling developed gradually. He doesn't even know when it started. Himeno was the one who told him how much Aki must care about Angel, that he'd spent two days in rows waiting for him in hospital bed. This turns into my own Akiangel agenda fellas.

Aki was the one who taught Power to tie and braid her hair, but Reze was the one who taught her how to style it.

Denji, Power, and Reze share weird sense of humour. Himeno could appreciate their jokes but Aki and Angel did NOT understand them at all.

One time, when play ToD, Power dared Reze to eat as much as she did. Reze ended up winning and Power respected her ever since.

Angel secretly wished he would be comfortable to do PDA with Aki, but he was too afraid to hurt Aki. Reze was the one who came up with solutions. Aki and Angel were blushing hard when Reze offered her idea. "Saran wrap???? Really, Reze????"

Reze and Denji are vulgar by nature. Truly match made in heaven.

Power doesn't care about affection and she can be so unbothered with it.

Reze and Himeno loved to tease Angel, giving him faux love advices.

Angel wasn't so trusting but he thought about those advices a lot.

Aki was very private with his relationship, while Denji's on the other hand...

Kishibe eventually got curious about Aki's relationship.

Denji almost went ballistic when Yoshida openly flirted with Reze.

Yoshida and Reze ended up laughing at his face. They went to be bestfriends as soon as they met, because Reze was just like a sister he never had and Yoshida was like a brother she never got.

Masterlist

Sansa was twelve when she knew her life was going to be different from what she first expected.

Before she was born, when her father was young, he had a friend. Lord Robert.

He had warred against the crown and the mad king - the father of King Rhaegar - and lost, after the woman he loved was taken as the Prince's second wife.

Her aunt Lyanna, so young, had caused war all by herself.

It should have been seen as a story of forbidden love, but it wasn't.

Many people died, her father's friend, his mentor - Lord Jon Arryn, father of her cousin, Robert Arryn - and even her aunt Lyanna herself. Prince Vyserys and Princess Daenerys, still children - she was barely yet a toddler.

Queen Elia's children had been killed too. One of them was just a baby, a newborn boy.

All that life was lost, and father... well, father seemed like the only one who survived, him and his little bastard boy.

Of course, Sansa eventually understood why her father and Jon had come home unscratched. Why the King was so grateful to let him come home and have his family.

Jon was a token of mercy father never seemed to be grateful for.

The king had bestowed many pardons, she had learnt as she grew up. Jaime Lannister, who had killed the mad King, but had saved Queen Elia from the hands of the horrid Mountain after he killed her babes, killing the man and saving her life, was now Lord of Casterly Rock and of its lands after his father was executed for letting in the men who'd rioted the King's Landing.

Her own father, who had fought by Robert's side.

Lord Robert's brothers, his only heirs.

Throughout her childhood, the life of the King and Queen seemed just to be focused on trying to create a peaceful kingdom. To maybe restore whatever they had lost during that war.

They never had heirs again, there was never a mention of the Queen pregnant or of the King taking a second wife, like with Aunt Lyanna.

And then the Queen died.

And he never married again.

King Rhaegar stayed alone, and never even entertained everyone's questions or offers of an engagement.

What he did, though, was come North. Every year, he visited, and spend time with her parents, made sure to have at least one meal a day with the oldest children - Sansa had been there a few times, and Jeyne hadn't stopped joking that the king had come to see if she was old enough to be his queen.

King Rhaegar was beautiful, but he was just as old as her parents!

She would never marry a man so old.

But there were questions about how he would continue the Targaryen dynasty.

He didn't even seem to care, not that she could see.

And he took a liking to Jon. He spent time with him, went on hunting trips with him, and was interested in things such as his education and character.

Which was so strange, because her half-brother was no more than a bastard.  Why would he care for a bastard?

And it was all written there. She just wasn't smart enough to put the pieces together.

She found out the truth when she was 12, and Jon was 14.

Bran had led her through the hidden walls of the castle, to show her something after they had said her name in a conversation, her parents and the king.

Jon wasn't her father's son, no. He was the only son of Aunt Lyanna and King Rhaegar.

"I didn't want you to be corrupted by the south," King Rhaegar spoke, looking at Jon's face. "Your mother was raised here. Her principles were much greater than anyone else I had ever met. It's why I fell in love with her."

Jon looked completely shocked, and Sansa's wasn't too different.

Her father's bastard boy, a prince.

Robb was there, right beside her mother, and Sansa couldn't quite read her expression.

Did she know that? Who else knew the truth?

"My whole life, I was raised like a bastard," Jon spoke, sounding frustrated and confused.

"Like the son of the Northern Lord," his father, his real father, corrected him. "You know the ways of the common folk more in this life than anyone in King's Landing. You know the worth of the work of your hands, and the real needs of the people who you are going to rule over."

Sansa cowled. The work of his hands? Jon wasn't exactly living like a prince, but he wasn't a man of the common folk either.

"What happens now?" Robb asked.

Her mother looked at him and then the King, and Robb glanced at his father.

"Is he..."

Father gave him a strong look, and her brother cleared his throat, turning to the king.

"Are you going to take him now, your grace?" he corrected his question. "To King's Landing.”

King Rhaegar exhaled slowly.

"I think Jon is ready," he told them. "And I want him to have time to learn how to be a prince."

Jon looked from her parents to his father, looking unsure.

"What if I say no?" he asked. "What if I don't want to go? "

"You won't," her father told him. "I know you, Jon."

"So you are going to send me South?" he asked, almost in a bratty tone. "To make me a prince I never wanted to be?!"

His father shook his head.

"You are my only heir, Jon, my only child," the King told him, softly. "My only family. I need you."

Jon's shoulders fell.

"You won't be alone," he promised. "You already have brides waiting for you to come home, to turn the right age."

Sansa frowned. Brides? What was he talking about?

"What do you mean?" Jon asked, confused.

"You'll help me reunite the seven kingdoms, son," the King smiled, encouraging. "And your wives."

The room became tense, but the King didn't seem to care.

"Wives?" Jon repeated.

"The High Septon and the Faith recently came to an agreement," he decided. "You know how Targaryen Kings before us have had multiple wives," he reminded them.

Sansa swallowed down.

"We have settled engagements for you," his father affirmed. "With one lady for each Kingdom, from each head family."

Her father stood up, looking tense, but the King didn't seem to care.

"Margaery Tyrell, Asha Greyjoy and Arianne Martell have already been chosen," he told him. "There is a girl who might be the chosen one for the Lannister's, Lady Myrcella Lannister. She is their oldest girl."

"We haven't found a girl in the Riverlands yet," he continued. "But Lord Frey is eager to offer his daughters and granddaughters. And of course, we were merciful enough to legitimise one of Lord Robert's daughters to represent the Stormlands."

Sansa's blood froze in her veins, and her heart was pounding hard in her chest.

"What about the North?" Jon asked, looking fearful.

The king looked directly at her father, unfazed, and Sansa watched her parents exchanging looks.

"We agreed on an engagement between Jon and Sansa when the king arrived," her father spoke between teeth. "But we didn't know you would have more than one wife."

"But I'm sure you would accept anyway," King Rhaegar spoke, emphatic. "After all, what greater honour there is than being the wife of the King of the Seven Kingdoms. She will be a princess! Potentially, his Queen."

Robb stood up with anger all over his face.

"Father, you can't!" he almost shouted. "Jon sees Sansa as a sister!"

Her parents looked away from Robb, and he turned to Jon.

"You can't say yes to this! Jon, you can't!"

Jon looked down.

"It's not like I have any choice," he said simply.

"You don't have any choice?" Robb shouted.

"Boys," her father tried to step between them, pushing Robb out of the way.

"Let them," the King sat down. 'It's best that they settle this now so the feelings won't linger."

Father seemed like he wanted to fight for a moment, but mother stood up, grabbing his hand.

"The King knows best," she spoke slowly, looking right in his direction.

"She is our sister!" Robb pushed Jon's shoulders.

"She is your sister!" Jon argued. "She doesn't even look at me. Your mother made sure to keep us apart the whole time, you know that."

Robb's shoulders sagged, and the adults moved slowly away, with the King guiding them along.

The moment they left, Jon walked off to take a seat, far too close to where she was hiding with Bran.

"I can't believe they lied to me this whole time," he exhaled. "My whole life!"

Robb walked to him.

"Don't sound so regretful," he rolled his eyes.

Jon shook his head.

"I'm serious!" he argued. "My whole life I've been treated like less than anyone else! Like I'm just someone to be stepped on. And then, out of nowhere, I'm a prince, and they want me to go down South with a bloody king who spent 14 years pretending I was nothing to him?! And then he comes around and says he is my father, about how much he loved my mother and how he just wanted me to be like her?!"

Robb scoffed.

"You are so dramatic," her brother spoke. "This is great! You'll be king! With seven wives! If that was me, I would think I was highly blessed by the gods."

Jon shook his head, but chuckled.

"You were literally about to punch me for being engaged to Sansa."

"Sansa is twelve," Robb affirmed. "I don't want her to get married. Ever."

Sansa pressed her lips together.

What was Robb talking about?

Never?

He couldn't want her to be stuck North forever, right? Without a husband and a family?!

"But at least, I know she will marry a good guy," he put a hand on Jon's back. "Who will treat her the way she deserves to be treated."

Jon sighed.

"I don't think this is a good idea," he sighed. "I'm not cut out to be king."

Her brother bumped his arm.

"We were raised side by side," he reminded him. "I know you are ready. I would have you be lord with me when we got older, you know?  So... It's the same thing. But bigger."

Jon chuckled.

"Seven times bigger."

"With seven times the wives!" Robb added, excited.

Sansa scowled. Seven wives?

She was going to share him.

No, she didn't like that.

"Sansa is going to be my queen," he affirmed.

Robb watched him with a bit of interest and hesitancy.

"You don't know the other girls yet."

"I don't need to," he affirmed, shrugging. "Sansa will be my Queen."

Sansa swallowed down. Could he be serious?

"The king looks at me like I'm a dragon, like him," he spoke softly. "But I was raised by your family. I'm a Stark. I want to honour that."

Robb smiled, and they sat together in silence for a moment before her brother-side hugged Jon.

"You'll always be my brother," he affirmed. "Wolf or dragon."

She looked at Bran, who was watching them with big eyes, and touched his shoulder.

"Come on," Sansa whispered, "Let's leave them be."

They walked out together, and her little brother beamed when the two were back in the yard.

"Aren't you excited?" he asked. "You are going to be Queen!"

Sansa hesitated.

She was going to be Queen.

She'd been missing for months. Of course, Olympias had made certain not to worry Alexander and, quite frankly, Nike was happy she'd been so pragmatic about it. The Queen Mother had hid away the truth and made certain to tell her other siblings that, in the young princess' terrible grief over the death of her father at her sister's own wedding, she had gone on a religious sabbatical and not ran away from home. It wasn't entirely untrue. The princess had taken Olympias' old druidic tomes and stolen away on a ship to find herself. Tired of geography books, sly women's politics and fancy dances. She crossed the seas to find the rumoured living Archdruid and eventually had, spending months at Dionaeia's side and learning all she could while the entire course of the world changed just ship's ride away.

Her mentor had told her stories of how souls of mortals eventually flickered away and were made into brand new ones. That was who Thessalonike was - a shiny new soul, a new life, a new promise. But not her brother, no. Her brother was an old soul. Already, Alexander proved the legacy of his many lives. In her absence, her oldest brother had conquered Persia, which most people seemed surprised about because they hadn't sat at his side while their teachers marveled at his genius and his sister just looked out the window, wanting to run out into the gardens. She heard the stories from the sailors on her way back home, even one of a new Pharaoh with her brother's name. It was lovely to not return home and dodge questions about her supposed sabbatical or tell Olympias how her ship had sank and she nearly drowned. Instead, she headed straight to Persia and entered the castle without notice or pomp. A mountain dog, large, but inconspicuous if she played her cards right. And she did play them very well right up until she made it to the king's floor where the guards started rightfully yelling and chasing her. Alex opened the door to wonder the commotion and she immediately darted inside.

Nike bravely withheld a giggle as soon as she stumbled into her true form and she smiled brightly at her brother - away from the view of the door and all the apologizing Persian guards. "So this is all new." Nike looked towards the little statue of the late King Darius in the corner. Maybe her brother was still in the process of remodeling.

hi again!! i realized i never updated you with my thoughts on s6, so here they are, rapid-fire style:

overall i think episodes one and two were very weak, but the rest of the season has been pretty decent. 6A was definitely my least favorite batch of episodes if i had to pick, but watching it all at once wasn't that bad and 6B has been very promising so far.

athena's cold case episode was really sad and unsettling, but i'm glad they did it and i'm very happy that she got to have that closure and revisit the case that made her want to be a cop. that's actually one thing i've been really liking about s6, that we've gotten to go back and tie up a lot of old threads from previous seasons.

the noah storyline was really weird and imo it should have been a longer arc with a better payoff for him. he wasn't a bad guy and i'm a little sad about the way they treated him.

idk what it is about maddie and chimney but i feel like their relationship has been a little off in 6A. i liked all of their domestic scenes with jee-yun, but i also think some things were very rushed (like the scene where they got back together). maybe it's just that they didn't get a lot of screentime? 6B has been better though and i'm glad the writers are finding their groove with them again.

on a brighter note, season six eddie is making me very happy. after his breakdown in 5B, he seems so much more at ease and more comfortable in his skin now and i'm so proud of him :)

hen might be my favorite character this season. her trying to do so much in episodes one and two, failing and having a breakdown but then convincing the prof to give her another chance and nailing it, and then eventually deciding that being a doctor wasn't what her real dream was and that her family was more important? i loved every second of it, and i think that aisha hinds's performance was nothing short of magnificent. i also loved the henren flashbacks!!

i kind of wish that they'd brought in the priest from s1 or another old character instead of wendall for that storyline. i enjoyed it regardless and i really loved all of the grant-nash family scheming, but i think it wouldve been more impactful if we had actually already known this character instead of just pretending like he'd been here the whole time. it's not a huge complaint though bc i do think bobby saving tamara and shutting down that fake rehab center was very healing for him....and did i mention how much i loved the grant-nash stuff? if there's one thing season 6 is doing right, it's the grant-nash dynamic. i miss michael and harry, but everything with bobby, may, and athena has been amazing.

sorry for the long ask, i just have so many things to say 😭 and i have even more to say about 6B + the buddie of it all, including the sperm donor plot, so that's gonna be a separate ask!!

-NewTo911Anon

hi again! i mostly agree with all of this! i actually thought 6x01 and 6x02 were two of the better episodes of the season, so i'm surprised you didn't like them (though i do understand that the blimp call was disappointing). the devil you know was SUCH a good episode, same as tommorow, and you're absolutely right that hen's arc has been the best one this season!

i agree with you about maddie and chimney: the premier was promising for them, but they just kind of...settled back into their relationship with each other with no bigger hurdles? i was hoping for there to be a little more of them having to work things out; i appreciated that 6x01 showed their lingering insecurities, but...idk. unlike the other seasons, they really haven't had a proper arc this season (as of yet). even maddie has just kinda been drifting from episode to episode, and hasn't really had a proper storyline, which is very uncharacteristic of the show.

home invasion and what's your fantasy have been the weakest episodes imo, and i completely agree with you about the noah arc; it could have been a really good storyline for maddie to mentor another dispatcher while trying to adjust to being back at work after her extended absence, but they had to go with this extremely out of touch plot that was in very bad taste. i'm pretty sure the noah thing is one of the aspects of the season that i will not change my mind about, even after a full rewatch.

it was nice to hear from you again!

Main Alias/Moniker: Beast

Legal Name: Dr. Henry Phillip McCoy

Other Aliases: Hank, Hankie, Link "The Beast" Phillips, The Missing Link, Beastie Boy, Golden Arm Hank, The Agile X-Man

Date of Birth: November 30th, 1983 (Age: 23)

Status: Alive

Species: Mutant

Sex: Male

Gender: Cisgender

Height/Weight: 6'3'' (1.9m) / 402 lbs (182.34 kg)

Hair/Eye Color: Black / Hazel

Timeline (1983 - 1998): Hank's mutant traits were apparent at birth. He was not only larger than average for a newborn, weighing in at over 12 pounds, but his hands and feet were already disproportionate in size. The doctors could find no trace of giantism in Hank or the health risks of any similar condition, but the McCoys couldn't leave it be.

They studied potential causes for Hank's condition, and became well-read on mutant theory. The McCoys had a good sense that life was going to be tough for Hank no matter what, so they resolved to provide as comfortable a childhood as they could. Hank's extended family also assisted with this. In particular, his aunts Edna and Gertrude, with how warmly Hank speaks of them to this day.

Hank received his share of taunts and jeers in school, but he claimed to have taken the attention in stride. He was a class clown in elementary school, and a prized athlete by high school, but on the whole Hank grew up preferring the company of books over people. At fifteen, Hank was reading and writing at a college level. His parents knew staying in their small town would only hold Hank back, but were hesitant to let him out onto the world without their supervision.

That's when the Professor entered the picture. He visited the McCoy's personally, divulging that, weeks earlier, Hank had sent an unsolicited paper on mutant theory to his office over in ESU. The Professor apparently laughed off Hank's forwardness, and offered to vouch for Hank should be and his parents choose to put him into college early.

Timeline (1998 - 2001): Hank spent most of his freshman year at ESU on campus, only venturing out into the city for the occasional exhibit or performance. Then on the first day of a genetics class, Hank met a fellow young student, Kavita Rao. The two became involved over the next year, but it was under the understanding that Kavita would eventually continue her studies elsewhere, whether or not Hank would come with her. Nonetheless, Hank took her eventual departure to London quite hard.

By then, Hank had already accumulated three doctorates, but lost the drive to stay and complete his PhD. He had offers from both the Professor and his own father as to what he could do next in life, but he ended up taking his own direction. Based on his love of athleticism and theatrics, Hank took to pro-wrestling. As the wrestling heel (or villain) Link "The Beast" Phillips, Hank was reportedly happy and content with where he was in life.

Timeline (2001 - 2003): Then one day, Hank showed up at the doorstep to the Professor's Mansion in a fugue state. It took Jean to pull him out of it and speak to us. He explained that he wasn't the only mutant performing in the Ultra (Later Unlimited) Class Wrestling Federation. One such wrestler was Gunther Bain, who became Hank's friend and mentor as they toured Hank's native Midwest. In actuality, Bain was a recruiter to the Brotherhood, and propositioned Hank when he had cemented their trust in one another.

Hank stressed to us that he was never tempted by Bain's offer, but he did rationalize he very well might have, had just a few things about him and his life had played out differently. The thought troubled Hank so greatly it put him in his fugue state that lasted all through his abandoning the UCWF circuit and the train ride to the Mansion. Once Jean got him back to his wits, Hank told the Professor he was fully on board with the pilot study that would eventually become the School.

Technically, Hank was more a staff member than a fellow student, brought on board as the Professor's assistant. But Hank very quickly slotted himself with myself and the rest of the "students." Being the Professor's confidante of sorts lent Hank a level of access to information that even I wasn't privy to. So when the Professor secluded himself on the news of the Santo Marco occupation, Hank was the one who gave the rest of us answers.

He told us the full history (Or at least as much as he knew about at the time) between the Professor and Magneto, and how the idea for the X-Men was one of many plans they made when they were still friends and allies. Hank was hesitant to intervene in Santo Marco, but probably due to his brush with the Brotherhood through Bain, he stood by me when I convinced the Professor that we needed to intervene.

Doing more EW main story with Liios:

1) He's never been to the inner part of Labyrinthos before. When he left Sharlayan last, it was still in the process of being built. He spent quite some time earnestly complimenting the work done here, and his (professional) amazement made a few workers there feel a bit better.

Of course, not many knew who Liios was. He had washed Old Sharlayan from his being in the years in Eorzea. He never quite belonged here anyway, even though the natural clime wasn't too far from what it was like in his homeland. These people had welcomed him and his brother but they had never been his people. He'd never been theirs.

Estinien understood then why Liios left, though neither of them really talked about it. "Home" was a painful, thorny topic they both left in their pasts, and the precious words they used for each other were reserved for happiness and hope and fondness.

2) Fourchenault most definitely worked to find out who the hell Liios Suvali was after returning from Eorzea in 5.55 because the name sounded familiar. He did eventually find letters written by his father, Louisoux, addressed to this "Liios Suvali".

They were very old letters, addressed to New Sharlayan when it was still their colony. Louisoux had held this person in high regards, though at the same time he'd fondly requested Liios to "be careful, even if you stay young".

Who knows how that felt for Fourchenault. Who already lost his father to the turmoil in Eorzea, and now his children were following in the shadow of someone who also had ties to Louisoux; who in his own rights was the Warrior of Light.

But Liios was polite and understanding. Difficult to dislike, even with all his exploits Ameliance and the reports told Fourchenault about. Maybe the thorn in one's flesh was that Liios had replaced Fourchenault as mentor and guardian at some point in the past five years.

Fourchenault also found out Liios was a talented engineer, and that his research fueled the current atmospheric controls within Old Sharlayan. When he introduced him to the smith in lower Labyrinthos as "engineering is not their specialty" it was a subtle jab. Surely this ex-Archon who had wasted 20+ years "adventuring" had grown rusty in his field. No need to get people's hopes up.

3) Liios started to get technical with the smith Kokkol in about 2 minutes and the Scions had to interrupt him. He didn't do any of the side quests afterwards though. He stayed with G'raha and the guy to talk about the airship, while Estinien wandered the place like "wtf am I gonna do?"

4) "Wow you know a lot about aircrafts! I thought you said your degree was in environmental aetherological engineering," said Kokkol.

"My brother likes things that flies," replied Liios which was technically true. He wasn't gonna say he spent weeks reading data and repair logs from Omega and built several satellite models in his spare time.

👀 if I can submit another ask meme... what about Rose? Love me some Salubri <3

I don't know how well I can do one of these with my own OCs instead of a canon character but I will try, lol

favorite thing about them

I keep forgetting that she's not this cute, innocent cinnamon roll. Sometimes I write her and she'll just do something mean or be quicker on her feet than I expect her to be, then I go through my notes, and then I'm like "oh RIGHT, of course she'd act that way." Or I'll suddenly remember that she was the expy of an evil necromancer's girlfriend and be like "oh right, they're the same character." She does have naive goals, but she knows they're naive, and if you're a Salubri that's survived nearly two hundred years you can't be completely sweet and innocent, even if your favourite Tzimisce thinks you're a god damn saint.

least favorite thing about them

I have yet to figure out how the fuck she spent sixty years in a Tremere chantry without bleeding out of the forehead and making them all Frenzy once while doing blood magic rituals.

favorite line

"Oh dear. He hid you the Tzimisce way, did he?"

Spoken to a fledgling covered in dirt, lmao.

brOTP

Her and Roger de Camden. She didn't know who he truly was until post-WWII (and even then she wasn't 100% sure if the rumours were true or not), but basically he took her in because as a Cappadocian who survived the genocide of his clan, he could relate a lot to this little neonate who was surviving the genocide of hers and had never met another one of her kind.

I also like her relationship with Sascha but I find hers with Roger more compelling.

OTP

Used to be her and Sascha but I'm not so sure any more. In any case, at least on a queerplatonic level, they will always be very close friends.

nOTP

Honestly can't think of one.

random headcanon

Rose spent her childehood isolated from Kindred society, protected and hidden by her human mother. She'd spend her nights healing the sickest people in the hospital her mother worked at, the one she used to work at when she was alive. After her mother died, she struggled to survive in Victorian London without her.

During the events of the Victorian Trilogy Roger de Camden, in the guise of the Malkavian Thomas Beckett, returned to London to find Mithras very, very sick due to the machinations of Valerius and the Tremere. While trying to find out wtf was going on, he found out from the dead that there was somebody that sounded an awful lot like a Salubri in the city. He retrieved her and had her heal Mithras -- it almost killed her, but she made it.

After that he took her in as an unofficial, adopted childe, introducing her to Kindred society, teaching her their customs and mores and about their world, and, eventually, post WWII, helped her infiltrate the Tremere.

As for Mithras, he was happy to spite the Tremere by also mentoring her and guarding her vehemently against any Tremere that so much as looked at her funny.

Rose is apparently very good at getting adopted by very powerful Kindred who hate the Tremere, lmao, because she has a list of at least four.

unpopular opinion

Can you have an unpopular opinion about your own OC??? idk lmao.

song i associate with them

Don't really have them! I listened to "Our Truth" by Lacuna Coil on repeat while noodling at ideas for her, but the lyrics are not Rose-y at all lol.

favorite picture of them

This one that @missn11 did for me!!

[linawritesocs]

TEEHEE OKAY SO 16 and 7 for allen, 11 for roland, 13 and 14 for minnie, and 18 for angel >:D

THANK YOU SO MUCH SOL!! and yes, i read that ask about seth and i added him too!

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

16. "if your muse could say one thing to their childhood self, what would they say? would your muse want to meet their childhood self in the first place?"

allen: i doubt that allen would want to see his younger self. thinking about it makes him feel so.. sad, he had to go through a lot when he was a child even though his parents spoiled him. allen wouldn't want to raise his child self's expectations too high, but he also knows that love was his main motivation to keep living for a long time, so if he did meet his child self, then he would tell him to never stop believing that one day he will find someone special.

7. "did your muse have any enemies? playground rivalries? how did that turn out?"

allen: there were some kids who didn't like allen that much and were jealous of him because of how rich he was, so every time he tried to talk to them, they would tell him to go away or they would actually fight him. it's part of the reason why allen is so strong now, he eventually learned to fight back and he got used to dealing with them. also, you can kinda count riley as his enemy, i guess? though allen didn't really hate him back then, he just thought that he was a very weird kid and avoided him.

11. "what expectations were placed on your muse as a child? who had those expectations for your muse? how did your muse feel about them?"

roland: roland's parents are actually kinda similar to riley's parents because they let this guy do anything he wanted and that's why he was such a troublemaker in the past. they never had any expectations for him, they even would be okay with him becoming a bad person because they were just so happy to have a kid. and now roland kinda wishes his parents were at least a bit more strict with him, maybe he wouldn't grow up to become such a cruel and violent person if they tried to stop him. roland is a lot like his parents now, if you think about it, because now he's obsessed with making people like him and he's okay with doing anything they want from him, even if it hurts him and he knows that those people have bad intentions.

13. "what did your muse want to be when they grew up? did they have any childhood dreams, and have they achieved them?"

minnie: little minnie wanted to become a president!! >:D no, when people asked if she wanted to be a princess, she said that it would be too unrealistic because she's obviously not royalty and she's not planning to marry one, she would rather do everything without anyone's help. and about achieving her dreams.. well, uh, at least she becomes seth's vice prefect in the future.

14. "who was a mentor or a hero to your muse as a kid? why did your muse look up to them and what did your muse learn from them? how is that relationship now?"

minnie: the closest thing minnie had to a mentor/hero was her mom and she still respects her a lot. minnie says that her mom was a very admirable and hardworking person before her dad left and that's when her mom lost all hope and motivation. she still loves her mom, however, she's not sure if she wants to go back home, because even though she misses her, she has lost a big part of her life (and it was supposed to be the most fun part of her life, it's her childhood after all) because she was too busy taking care of her and trying to help her get better.. and she's too scared of it happening again. she can't go back home until she's absolutely sure that her mom is doing fine and her brother is okay with taking care of her if something goes wrong.

18. "what's one thing that instantly transports your muse back to their childhood? why?"

angel: it's sugar cookies! angel's older sister liked to bake them often and angel liked to steal them from her when she wasn't looking. also reading outdoors! again, it's because of their older sister, she enjoyed reading in their family's garden more than her room and angel liked to sit next to her while she was reading even though angel found her books boring since there weren't any pictures.

8. "what did your muse do in their free time? How did they entertain themself as a kid?"

seth: oh, he did A LOT of things. he read as many books as he could (mostly fiction and he believed all of it was real), he painted, he played games, he watched movies and videos, he also spent a lot of time online and that's how he learned to do so many things, he just found the info he needed and used it. his sister luna praised him for his work, but she also reminded him not to push himself too hard and she actually found some of his hobbies too dangerous, like there was a time when he accidentally broke his leg when he tried to learn how to dance. he also tried to cut his hair without luna's help once and he ended up injuring himself with scissors and that's why his hair stayed long for so many years, luna refused to let him do it himself and said that she's the only one who's allowed to cut his hair. and whenever seth asked her to help him, she simply said "you look better with long hair, so let's keep it"

Story(Created by AlanaDaMoonChild15): Raccoon Gal, The odd thief with a good heart sadly to be led in the life of crime by her mentor, Lab Rat and her boss The Penguin while dealing with her pent up anger issues and family trauma. In her true identity she is Rosa who is an simple mechanic who loves to fix or build cars or motorcycles in her little garage to both help common criminals or citizens though mostly lend a helping hand to criminals which she has no choice to refuse.

Rosa grew up to be in a family who is compassionate of gardening and growing beautiful flowers to sell in North America since their business was founded by her great grandfather Abuelo who is head of business while very oppressive with his daughters and granddaughters that he had force them to do garden work while putting them up being perfect in public, However Rosa wasn't like all the girls in the family and that she had a different dreams of what she could do.

Abuelo was very disapproval of Rosa and often had punished her harshly from an young age that Rosa would suppress her feelings just to make him happy and listen to her family, Still she would do secret jobs of fixing cars to learn at it. For years Rosa had obeyed to her family and never had stood out of line until all of that would change when her Grandfather would introduce to an boy who he had let him to be with her, Rosa did not like him or knew him at all yet still she would go on dates to please her family.

For so long Rosa had to suppress her true feelings inside and to force herself into believing she loved him, However the boy would go on to bully her when no one was looking while picking away her self esteem from calling her horrible names. Very much her anger would build up over time and finally when she went on to pick up her tools, she would find him with another girl where they are kissing finally tipping her off the edge.

News spread out around the town that Rosa had brutally beaten both of them with an huge monkey wrench and almost killing them from pure fury, Very much Rosa was arrested for assault and spent in juvie for many months. Abuelo was very furious and ashamed of his granddaughter that would commit a terrible act upon her boyfriend while not knowing the whole story, When she came back her grandfather had disowned her and had cleaned out her room to kick her out at the age of 16 without saying her mother goodbye.

Rosa would immediately leave her town very much in grief and flooded with shame, After span of 4 years of travelling across through towns and cities as an mechanic. Rosa would come across Gotham City and would find a nice place that is an entire garage, She had gathered some work of fixing up cars or motor bikes for her customers and going by the name " Ro " since most others insisted calling her that. Eventually she would blindly associate herself with Gotham's dark underworld of criminals or mob bosses, Even the infamous criminals. Very much she had fixed vehicles for gangs or mobs and very much Ro learned the hard way of being cautious around them though remained obedient.

Ro would have Penguin as her best customer who paid her handsomely for her good work though isn't very sentimental towards her however Lab Rat becomes interested in Ro since she was overall kind to rodents who feed them crumbs, Has nonviolent ways of carefully removing them from her garage. Lab Rat would see her whenever Penguin needed repair and she stays back to watch her fix the vehicle so they make small talk, Ro talks to her as if she were an therapist and would talk about her problems. The female rodent secretly pitied her and thought perhaps she has a way to help her, She suggested on working with her on their crimes since Lab Rat needs help of takings rats from Gotham's laboratory's.

Soon Ro needed an disguise to wear and a name to call her so that she cannot be identified as her true self, Lab Rat helped to create a costume to look like a raccoon and named her Roadkill since she sees a lot of run over animals consisted of raccoons. Roadkill left to help Lab Rat of breaking into an lab at a shampoo company that tested animals and had knocked out a lot of guards that gave her a thrill, Very much Ro would find being an disguised criminal named " Roadkill " released her pent up emotions and have a chance to let loose.

Much to her dismay is that she would run into problems along the way that very much any criminal had encountered is meeting up with the Batman who is the apparent protector of the city and Ro has no clue who he is til she would meet him in person. Multiple times Batman had warned her to stop doing these crimes and turn herself in but she would stood her ground who genuinely cannot see another way out of her problems, And that she grew very loyal to Lab Rat.

So Arkham Asylum is the place she would spend most of her time to rehabilitation and did tried to find redemption, In the end of the day that she will always be drawn back to being Roadkill and her unbinding friendship with Lab Rat that is her only true genuine friend.

Do you have Headcanons about Finland and Sweden's relationship with America and Canada?

Yes, but to be honest I go a lot back and forth between them since I can't decide on when I believe they (Canada and America) actually "popped up". Especially Canada.

It's a popular headcanon in the Hetalia fandom that Canada used to be Vinland, however brief that period of time might have been, but that also means it'd technically makes sense Norway would be his biological father. Or as close as biological as nations can get anyway. - However, Norway has such strong Uncle Vibes in my head that I'm honestly not sure what to do with that. That, and I really like Sweden as a father figure for them over Norway...

Some people also imagine Canada to have "popped up" later though, such as with Novia Scotia and/or closer to when the French arrived. Either way there's no denying both hws Canada and America seems to have been influenced a LOT by the Nordics. Canada essentially has Norway's eyes and longer hair, Denmark's hair colour, glasses like Sweden and a weird mix between Norway's and Sweden's personality. Meanwhile America seems to have a mix of Finland's and Denmark's personality, Den's and Swe's haircolour and Den's eyes. The path to independence from their older brother figures also have some similarites between Sweden's and America.

It's also canon for Hetalia that (hws) Sweden and Finland were the ones who first found (hws) America. They were the ones who found him, but Sweden got injured by Netherlands when he (and Finland) tried to adopt America. (It's after this that hws Finland goes and talk/complain to France and England that Netherlands kicked them out.)

Sweden and Finland also have a lot of later history with USA and Canada, and in Hetalia it's canon America confessed he wanted a father figure. Finland offered to be his father and told America he'd even grow a beard when America basically told Finland that he might be able to see him as one if Finland looked older. x)

However, no matter what I or anyone else see Sweden's and Finland's "biological relationship" to be with the NA siblings in the future, I do believe Sweden and Finland would be great mentor figures.

I strongly believe Sweden and Finland, together or one by one, would be great stable figures in the NA's siblings lives and a more neutral party to show them the ropes of the nation world. It's obvious America and Canada still care a lot about both England and France, but there are always going to be things you don't want to ask the same people who raised you/ once witnessed you run around butt-naked because you threw a tantrum about clothes.

*(Cough)* With all said, you asked for some headcanons, SO!

.

- Finland and Canada have regular hockey practises with each other. Sweden sometimes join as well, but despite how much he loves the sport his eyesight makes it difficult to join during its' worse days.

- America once challenged Finland to paintball, at that point not knowing about Finland's history of sniping. America learnt his lesson the hard way after a crushing defeat. x)

- One day Kumajirou got lost during a world meeting and the entire world of nations were running around searching for him to make sure no humans accidentally found him first. Canada eventually found Kumajirou eating the building's entire stock of fish in the kitchen, and so they all went back to the meeting, announcing they found Kumajirou.

"Then whose polar did I find?" a confused Sweden asked to everyone's horror as he came inside, carrying another polar bear (cub).

To this day they still have no idea where the second polar bear came from, but it wasn't Kumajirou. 😂 Sweden was very sad he wasn't allowed to keep the lil' fella, but the polar bear was sent to a big secret nature reservate in north Canada, one that Canada himself takes care of. The polar bear is now living a happy life with a lot of fish of his own. x)

- Both America and Canada learnt the hard way that North America isn't the only continent with moose. Now they know. 😂 xD

- Both Canada and America have known how to build cabins and log houses for a long time, but Sweden later helped them master detailed whittling, general woodwork and carving.

- Both America and Canada have a soft spot for Sealand and Ladonia, who they view as some kind of mix between nephews and younger siblings.

- (ScotNor, SuFin & General BIG Family bonus) : Given how connected the NA siblings are to the UK-siblings, France and the Nordics, Finland eventually began to invite them all for Christmas in gigantic family celebrations. 😄

PART ELEVEN: THE PERFORMANCE

perfectionism | prev | next

After sitting down for about ten minutes, Atsumu redirected his attention to the now dimming lights. The once lit up auditorium was now only being illuminated from the light appearing on the stage. There was almost an entrancing aura in the room, everyone gathered in the same room for the sole purpose of watching people showcase their musical talent. Though completely different activities, he couldn't help but be reminded of the similar feeling when watching a volleyball match.

Although Suna had mentioned to him many times that he and you had two very distinct and different personalities, he couldn't help but disagree. From the little he'd observed, you both had strong passions that you had dedicated your whole lives to. Even though you two may approach situations differently. You both have a mutual understanding of the thrill that comes with pushing yourself to the limit for something.

He had never really chosen to get to know another person on a deeper level. Of course, there was Osamu, but that didn't really count since that was his brother. Additionally, his friendship with Suna was only a byproduct of Osamu's friendship with him. Atsumu constantly had girls throwing themselves at him, and even though he enjoyed basking in their attention, he knew that they were only in love with the idea of him.

Outside of volleyball and his family, he never got the chance to have a close relationship with someone, but that was something he was willing to sacrifice for the sake of achieving his dreams. Not to mention, he always had the lingering fear that, in the end, people only hung out with him to get close to Osamu. He really hoped that you were an exception to that case.

The competition had to at least been going on for an hour now, Atsumu thought to himself. When he imagined attending a piano competition, he envisioned a relaxing show that he could attend for free, but that wasn't the case. Instead, he spent his time watching musicians attempt to play grand, complex pieces to perfection, but at most they only achieved mediocre performances. Just how long was it going to take for you to come on stage?

"Now presenting contestant 105, l/n y/n. Playing piano concerto number one in E minor, opus eleven: two. Romance larghetto."

His eyes were directed to your figure that now walked onto the stage. Your head held high, your footing confident. Atsumu grinned, noticing that you were sporting that perfect smile of yours. He watched as you took a deep breath while fixing your stool.

Before your hands touched the keys, he observed how, for a quick second, your eyes changed from confident to anxious when studying the crowd. Your eyes were glued in the same spot briefly, however they were quickly averted back to the instrument. Could it be that large crowds made you anxious? No, it couldn't be, you seemed way too confident walking out on stage. He wondered just what made you apprehensive.

He continued to watch you intently.

Your fingers graced the keys. They quickly found their tempo and danced to the rhythm. You didn't miss a single beat nor note as you played. Everything was played to perfection, just as it always was.

Your smile disappeared, only to be replaced with a face of precision and focus. Your hands produced a soft melody, making the sound glide into his ears. No previous performer enchanted the audience like you did. The notes danced and swayed in the air.

Your song had so much power to it. It was as if a mystical spell was casted in the room the minute that you started to play. Atsumu's eyes widened as he watched you get lost in the song. There was absolutely no hesitation as you played. Your body was completely in tune with the instrument.

Although you weren't saying anything, you were telling a story to everyone in the room, captivating them. It was all perfect. Your rhythm, notes, tempo, and tone- it was exactly as written on paper. You quite literally were playing the piece perfectly. However, the story you were telling with your music, wasn't quite your own, but rather the composer.

You were guaranteed a first place win since you were playing a technical piece perfectly, but it lacked the emotion. You played it exactly as the composer intended, nothing more, nothing less.

Atsumu recognized the seemingly stoic look on your face. It wasn't something he could decipher easily at first, but now hearing you play, he could understand it. You were so obsessed, so intent with playing it perfectly, something he often found himself partaking in when in an important match. You were perfect, but at what cost?

There was no denying that you were extremely talented, certainly more talented than himself, he thought. But, he could only imagine how much more captivating you could be when expressing your own emotions with your talent.

As your song neared its end, the whole room stood up in applause. You stood up, knowing you played it perfectly, but you still felt empty. You remember a time where you used to love savoring the gratification from an overwhelmed audience. Now, however, you stood in front of everyone clapping for your perfect performance, and you couldn't feel less accomplished. Perhaps you were being too hard on yourself. When did playing piano turn into a chore?

You glanced to the top of the audience, the same place you were looking before the performance, and locked eyes with your dad. The same unreadable expression was present on his face. He shook his head and walked out the exit door. Your chest grew heavy, trying its best to hold in your tears in front of the audience.

You bowed in front of the audience, trying your best to conceal the emotions running rampant in you. You swiftly paced yourself offstage, running past your mentor who was there for support and into the backstage bathroom.

Your back leaned on the heavy door, all of your bottled feelings washing out. You looked at your face in the mirror, placing two hands over your heated cheeks. Your eyes started to sting, but you still stared into the reflection. Anger, disappointment, humiliation, vulnerability, and most of all, loneliness. You let it all spill out at that moment.

There was so much more you wanted to do with your music, but at that moment no amount of praise could convince you that it was worth it. All in life you ever wanted to do was make your dad proud, show him that you are worthy enough to be your mother's daughter. Was anything you did ever going to be good enough for him?

"y/n, it's Haruka-sensei." A voice from the door knocked. "I thought you played the piece perfectly, I'll be in the lobby, so come out when you're ready."

You closed your eyes and took a deep breath. Your hands made their way to your face again, this time cleaning up the tears and smudged mascara. Looking up one last time, you smiled into the mirror. Over the years, you convinced yourself that if you faked being happy enough, eventually you will be. It's not like anyone could tell the difference from it anyways.

You opened the door slowly, trying to gain your composure again. You bumped into many kids roaming the halls backstage looking anxious to perform. The maze of people was something you were now used to navigating.

The lobby was empty with the exception of your sensei and dad, everyone else still in the auditorium watching the final stretch of the performances. Haruka-sensei and your dad didn't get along for the most part, which is why you weren't surprised when you saw them standing in completely opposite areas of the room.

Your dad was first to approach you. "What did you think that was?" His voice was laced with alcohol. Your gaze met his. His eyes filled with resentful judgement. "You think you can get away playing like shit and make your way to the top?"

Droplets of tears fell to the ground once more. "I asked you a question!"

You looked to the ground. "No, I know I'll never be good enough." You sniffed harshly, still trying to maintain your composure, but failing. You hated crying in front of your dad. It was arguably the worst feeling in the world, like you were being isolated in a dark void with nothing but disappointment.

He watched you cry. You could feel his gaze burning into the top of your head, which still faced the ground in fear. All of a sudden, you felt a harsh grip on your wrist that was sure to leave a bruise.

"And don't you ever forget that," He spat. "I bet your mother is even more repulsed by you than I am. It's a joke that you think you'll ever be anything great." He shook your arm firmly, forcing you to see the aggravation displayed on his expression.

"That's enough," Haruka yelled, shoving your dad to the side. She might've been a small lady, but she sure did know how to stand her ground. "I can't stand hearing you spread such bullshit hatred to your own daughter. You make me sick. Why don't you go and get yourself even more drunk. Maybe you'll wake up and find yourself passed out on a park bench."

He rolled his eyes and scoffed. He left the building, leaving just you and Haruka.

"Listen, y/n, I think you played beautifully. Your technique was perfect, and with just a few tweaks here and there, I'm sure you'll be more than ready to take the top spot at nationals." She praised. She gave you a genuine smile and pulled you into a hug.

Feeling overwhelmed, you started to cry for the third time that hour. "Shh- don't worry about your dad, he's just a loser-asshole that projects all his issues onto you." You felt comforted by her embrace. Although she'd only known you for about a month now, Haruka had quickly become one of your favorite piano mentors. She had the loving presence and embrace of a mother, something that was so foreign to you at first.

After your heavy tears and emotions subsided, you re-entered the backstage hallways. You sat in the corner of the hallway, directing your attention to a boy- who couldn't have been any older than twelve. He sat next to his mom, holding her hand as he kept on muttering about his nervousness.

You watched as the mom eased his nerves with a single statement. "My child, I love you now, and I'll still love you after you go out and perform." The words warmed your heart. The affection from a mother was a distant memory in your mind. You could never recall a moment you were sad around your mother. Why did she have to leave so soon?

Before the kid could respond, he was called out to perform. He hugged his mom quickly and scrambled to the stage. You sat there lost in your thoughts, imagining what life would be like if your mother didn't pass away so early on.

You sighed. There was no use in fantasizing about a false reality even if it brought you temporary peace from your discomfort. What only mattered now was the present moment.

You noticed that the boy was back, a giant grin plastered on his face as he met up with his mother, it'd only be a few minutes until the winners were announced. Soon enough, all of the competitors were asked to reconvene at the stage.

You looked out at the audience again, but this time it was different. Rather than feeling anxious when meeting the gaze of someone, you felt content. Atsumu flashed his famous smirk and displayed a thumbs up, only to be quickly smacked down by Osamu. The two seemed to get into an argument after that, making you look at Suna who was now a giggling mess. The whole event made you laugh, momentarily forgetting about the heavy reign of disappointment on your shoulder.

However, the three of them got their act together once the top three standings were being announced. This part always made you fidgety. The uncertainty of the outcome always twisted your stomach in knots. Once second and third place were announced you took a deep breath, hoping that you were to be crowned first.

"And-" Here it was, you thought. The moment that decided whether or not you'd go to nationals. "-first place for the Hyogo Regional piano competition goes to-" You could feel your heart beating out of your chest. Your nails dug into your arm, the tension eating away at you. "-l/n y/n."

You almost jumped to the front of the stage when they announced your name. You did it, despite what your dad said, you did it. And it didn't matter what hateful words of disappointment he spat at you because in that very moment, you were enough.

Atsumu watched as you were handed a certificate. A radiant smile now present on your face. This smile was different, though. The one he was used to seeing was the seemingly perfect one, the one so perfect it was almost fake. The one you wore right now was one of genuine, heartfelt joy. Was this the real you? Just what else were you hiding under that perfect smile?

Osamu tapped his shoulder. "Stop staring at yer little girlfriend and let's go to the lobby before it gets too crowded. Suna said we're going to go out for udon."

"Yeah, yeah 'm coming," He muttered, never once taking his eyes off of your smile.

fun facts !

Osamu and Atsumu are notorious for always being late for everything, whether it be 10 minutes to an hour.

Atsumu daydreams when he's bored, only paying attention to what he wants to.

Every time Osamu cooks, he always puts on music in the background and it always differs depending on his mood.

[randomestfandoms-ocs]

i would love to know more about all of your batman ocs if you have anything you want to share!

ahhh thank you I absolutely do!!!!!!!!  A couple of notes beforehand though lmao I play very fast and loose with canon (and casting), and I still have even more left on a list to make 😂

Julietta:

So I did a whole big infodump here but basically she's Tim Drake's older sister who gets kidnapped by the League Of Assassins! She's used as a surrogate for Damian and raises him for almost five years, while Jason is stationed as their guard. But then Damian is taken to be trained, and Jason leaves, and Julietta is alone — Talia (who has a soft spot for her) sets her free and she returns to Gotham, where she's eventually reunited with both only to find out that neither of them remember her!

(fic title is Seven Devils!)

Tessie:

Tessie grew up in Haly's Circus with Dick! Her mom was a tightrope walker and her dad was a fire breather — she and Dick got to learn trapeze, tightrope, and silks together as kids! After the Graysons died and Dick left, Tessie continued on in the circus and became a tightrope walker herself. Her parents died in a car accident (that wasn't an accident) and she gets kidnapped by the Joker

Harley had started to pull away and in order to keep her under his control, Joker kidnapped Tessie as their new daughter. For years, Tessie was stuck in this situation, driven to a point where she could no longer remember which parts of her life were real and which weren't. But eventually Harley reaches out to Batman and Nightwing to help get Tessie away from the Joker, and Dick is shocked to see his childhood best friend there

(Fic title is Mad World)

Florence:

She’s Alfred’s niece or granddaughter who grew up in Wayne manor, probable angst of seeing her parents die, and she and Dick grew up togehter (and are an eventual ship)

But I can't let my ocs be happy, so!!! One day she’s kidnapped to get to Robin, but it’s the same night that dick leaves Gotham. He doesn’t know she’s missing and with everything that was going on, it’s still several days before anyone else knows she’s been kidnapped / until they find her. So that’s a lot of trauma and she never fully forgave Dick. She’s been even more fucked up bc she has a therapist because of that but the therapist is kind of crappy and dismissive and it’s not helped by the fact that she can’t explain that Robin was her best friend in the world and that’s why it hurts so much that he didn’t come, then later she gets stalked by some villain or another and the police (other than Gordon) basically just laugh in her face

Stalking continues and gets worse and worse but no one is taking her seriously which might lead into her getting kidnapped again and this time it’s Nightwing who rescues her. She might also have an arc about her leaving Gotham for a while somewhere in here but idk yet I just want to throw lots of angst and trauma at her

Logan:

Logan is a Jason ship who comes from a pretty rich family who replaced emotional support with just spoiling her — her parents loved her, but they were always too busy with work to really spend time with her. She's been doing archery, martial arts, and gymnastics since she was a kid, and her parents recently died in a rogue attack.

She becomes a vigilante after that, running into Robin a lot. The two butt heads all the time, arguing and insulting each other constantly, but they would drop everything to help each other and bond over a love of literature.

She ends up in over her head in a situation in Bludhaven and Dick rescues her, eventually becoming a mentor figure to her, which leads to some fun parallels as Dick tries to unlearn Bruce's shit and not fuck this kid up, meanwhile she's just a chaotic little shit and drives him crazy

Vanessa:

Vanessa Kline is a former Gotham street kid! She grew up on the streets and became an older sister (almost mother) figure to Jason Todd, who called her Nessie! Shortly after Bruce adopted him, she got picked up/protected by the Sirens, getting the aliases Vanessa Quinn and Songbird (which actually stems from the song she used to sing to Jason) She's been searching for Jason ever since but could never find him.

At 18 she ended up getting an art scholarship for university, then moved to Bludhaven after graduating (or the university is in Bludhaven, tbd). She meets Dick in her civilian life, as Detective Grayson has questions about the Sirens, but she becomes a vigilante to help street kids and meets him in their alter egos too

She’s less new lmao but her intro gifset can be found here!

(Fic title is Symphony Of Sorrowful Songs)

Kinsley:

Kinsley is Ted Kord’s daughter, Michael Carter (Booster Gold) became her guardian after Ted dies, she becomes his new sidekick, and it starts off with a kind of unhealthy vibe; Michael didn’t want to be a mentor or father but panicked and made her into his sidekick because he didn't know how to treat her as a daughter. Fitting with Michael’s canon approach to superheroing, she was a poster child, did lots of tv interviews and publicity events and such, which left her with quite a lot of money, which Michael has been saving in a trust for her so that she won’t have to ever worry about financial stability.

She shares her father’s intellect and athleticism, being quite good with technology and mechanics/engineering as well as being gifted in acrobatics and various forms of combat. She starts off as Blue Gold, Booster Gold’s sidekick — she has a weaponized suit that she uses to fight, something like a slimmer iron man suit, though with less weapons. They get into a fight when she's around 15 ish (I don't know how old the teen titans were when they formed but it's about a year after that) about a mission and he tells her it's too dangerous, she accuses him of not caring about her and only seeing her as a replacement for her dad, and goes anyways and almost dies, developing superpowers as a result — basically she was trying to hack into or destroy someone’s super sketchy experimental technology and it exploded, her suit saved her life but the blast left her with technopathy and electrokinesis

Afterwards, she and Michael have some serious talks, which include him promising that he does care about her, even if he doesn't show it well they end up deciding together to rebrand her, and then he suggests she try spending a few months with the teen titans, meet some other kids like her, figure out her new powers, and have time/space to herself to decide what she wants to do. She renames herself Glitch and designs a new suit, wanting a totally fresh start for the new chapter in her life

They stay close and still spend time together, but she's based out of titans tower after that around 18, the JL sends them on the mission where they almost die (or at least one of them almost dies, and it brings back Kinsley's ptsd from her dad's death) and she quits the titans and being a superhero at all goes home, Michael is supportive, reminds her that she's always welcome to stay with him but also offers to help her start a brand new life which is what she does Fast forward about 8 or so years, something happens (maybe the plot of Titans, or I might make something up, idk yet) and the Titans have to come back together.

Dick is genuinely surprised (and a little bit hurt) when he realizes just how much she's moved on, both from being a Titan and from their relationship — like her powers aren't a part of her life, being a former superhero isn't a part of her life, even though she was possibly the most well known titan (because Michael was always putting her in interviews and other publicity things), no one even looks twice at her on the streets. She's just shut the door on that part of her life and now she's normal and she's happy and she's found a passion that isn't being "the JL's cleanup crew" as she once described being a titan. And Dick, who left Gotham entirely but still struggles to let go of Robin and get out of Bruce’s shadow, doesn’t understand how she can do that (he also struggles with the fact that she seems so completely over their past relationship)

She now owns a bakery and has a passion for photography but, as Dick proves when he finds the new Glitch suit she's made herself, there's a part of her that just can't let go either.

Josette:

Josette Cobblepot is the Penguin's daughter. She has no idea what her dad is, just growing up as a spoiled Gotham princess. She and Jason became friends through being dragged to fancy galas, preferring to sneak off together than socialize with all the stuffy adults.

One day she accidentally finds out about her dad's crime life and, in a panic, runs away. She doesn't have a plan in mind, but ends up running to Wayne Manor and confiding in Jason. Jason is Robin by this point but never put together that he was her father. Josette is determined to stop her father and keeps running recklessly into danger, leading Jason to constantly have to pull her out of danger, eventually revealing his identity as Robin.

She's mad at him for keeping a secret at first, but ultimately forgives her as he offers to use battech to help her out! She's more of a detective than a fighter, but she does eventually become part of the team!

Leonie:

Leonie Murphy is a reporter (in gotham or blud, tbd) with a very bad habit of running towards villains/fights instead of away. She knows Dick through his day job, follows Nightwing to try to talk to him after a battle, and eventually finds out it's him — she promises to keep his identity a secret, but now she has a harder time staying away from the fights.

Then one day she's caught up in the middle of a fight with someone (maybe scarecrow) and Nightwing is losing, she runs towards him to try to help, gets caught in a blast, develops powers (luck manipulation), and a result of ptsd she pulls a bit of a tony stark and builds herself a suit so she can protect herself next time, and takes the name Karma

But she's like way way in over her head and Dick keeps having to pull her out of danger and the two slowly get closer as they keep saving each other

(Fic title is Luck Be A Lady)

Jessie:

Jessie Jordan is Hal Jordan's daughter! She's not a lantern in the traditional way but, because of his continued use of his ring, Jessie was born with roughly the same powers! She's named after his mom, and was always pretty close with her dad.

She joined the Titans when they first formed! Honestly I don't know enough about her yet but Hank affectionately calls her Nightlight so that's something!

Elektra:

Born Elinor Cross, her dad was in the League of Assassins but her mom didn't know. Taking inspiration from The Mortal Instruments, Ra's experiments on her mom (without her knowledge or consent) to see what it'll do to the baby. When her mom finds out, she runs away with baby Elinor and tries to raise her safely away from the League.

Elinor has no powers but eventually ends up back at the League (tbd on if she's kidnapped or went looking for information on her past) and Ra's has her thrown in the pit. Exposure to the pit triggers dormant genes that turn into her powers, which get set off (uncontrollably to her) by pit madness episodes

She's an eventual Jason ship, though I'm not sure if they meet at the League or in Gotham!

(Fic title is Lazarus Rising)

Avalyn:

Avalyn is the princess of Gotham, her parents being the richest people in the city after Bruce himself. She knows Dick very well through their parents, galas, and school. They meet when they're 12-14 and get on like a house on fire, growing up to be wild chaotic party kids together — they're roughly Kardashian level famous and the two of them are infamous for their nonsensical but hilarious twitter interactions (often including Avalyn asking different Rogues to attack so she doesn't have to write exams while hungover)

Avalyn notices Dick's weird behaviours but assumes it's just typical weird rich people shit — he'll go AWOL for a mission or while recovering from an injury and she's just like "oh I guess he's on a spontaneous holiday"

He leaves to join the Titans and she feels very abandoned and kind of resentful, since they had all of these plans for life after high school together (and because he just drops all contact with no explanation). But eventually they reunite — I haven't decided if they first reunite in university and then she becomes a vigilante, or if she becomes a vigilante and they reunite because she ends up with the Titans

avalyn dorsey on twitter: the worst part of living in blud not gotham is i can't pray for rogue attacks to get me out of writing finals anymore dick: av what the fuck avalyn: don't pretend you didn't do it too, I remember senior lit

i feel like she would be infamous both for tweets she makes for #onlyingotham and tweets about her (usually about her and dick) tagged #onlyingotham

(also sidenote, I’m totally here for Avalyn & Delta and Julietta & Delta but also I feel like Kinsley & Delta could be Everything)
