#like with him and his students maybe. i headcanon that he's well-beloved at the university he teaches

[mitsundere]

TGAA 2 SPOILERS !

my thoughts: albert harebrayne was introduced as a goofy mad scientist with failed logic and a close friend of van zieks but he's more than that. he's a PROFESSOR. he studied in germany and had his work published in a pamphlet. he can work complex mathematical equations. he cares for his invention but not to the point of purposely hurting others for the sake of it. he may not be so talented, but he has the spirit and ambition for it. incredibly passionate in his work. regretful that he was tricked and involved in a murder. he trusts so easily and wholeheartedly that it's both a flaw and his strength. treats van zieks like a true friend even after 10 years of no contact.

the thought that translates into my drawings: hee hee goofy scientist!!!

[kimkhimhant]

personally i am very much a sucker for kim being kind of shy? like. we see Kim The Student, we see Wik The Idol, we see Khimhant The Enforcer - and yeah they're all sides of kim, but as per his own admission regarding wik, they're all masks in a sense? we get to see very very small glimpses of kim as he is (the iconic shot of kim looking so so small and so so alone in the studio while he looks out at chay for example) and it just makes sense to me that without all those masks and pretenses to form an armour around himself kim winds up kind of shy when things get down to it?

so chay being his outgoing confident self (because that's porsches kid y'all that kid has a spine of STEEL BC WHO JUST GOES UP TO THEIR IDOL AND SAYS 'YA GIMME GUITAR LESSONS MUSIC BOY') while kim trails along behind him? that's my jammmmm i love it i can't wait to figure out a plot which doesn't involve them being broken up so that i can use it in something hsjfsdhkdfskj

-@jeffsatyr

shy kim my beloved!!! i agree 100% – i think it's a combo of just genuine inherent shyness and trauma conditioning, but i really don't think there's anyone, really, who truly knows him, because he keeps his walls up and masks on. even around his brothers, although khun still sees through him a bit.

but this works extra well if we go with the headcanon that he's homeschooled until university (which would make sense, depending on the context of khun's kidnapping(s) and kim's potential work for the family. you know, like, if he spent his teens being a hitman/doing dirty work, there are a lot of potential issues that could come up, between visible injuries and missing classes for missions. so it would be reasonable to hc that he was homeschooled and didn't have much opportunity for socialization & learning how to be around people. he's good at the Wik mask because he's good at putting on airs – he probably grew up attending fancy events with the family, and there's not a huge difference between smiling and shaking hands with other powerful people, and smiling and putting on a performance for fans. but these things mean he doesn't know how to just be around people – it's all a performance. so when it comes down to actually just genuinely socializing? that's difficult and terrifying and kim is not good at it.

but yeah. i do love the idea of him and chay in social situations, where chay is his usual friendly, outgoing and talkative self, and Kim is quiet and a little uncertain at his side (maybe it looks a little like arrogance, to the outside eye – especially with his celebrity status) but the reality is that he just doesn't really know how to put himself out there and engage with people in this kind of context, and he doesn't want to do it wrong, so he just kind of awkwardly keeps to himself, except when Chay addresses him directly :')

i'll wait until you're mine, beloved - akutagawa in university headcanons

﹙ 「university au」 akutagawa ryuunosuke x gn! reader ﹚

masterlist

many people peg him to be very dark and emo in this tastes (i did too) but now, i see him more as an "old soul" type. he enjoys classical music and old literature, hence the reference to diablo, and likes warm, less sweet food like figs and tea. he's into the more creative things in life such as the fine arts and infrastructure, maybe even music and such. he may be young but people who know him calls him am "old man", but he likes simpler things rather than being extravagant and outgoing.

as a result, i see him more as an architecture student or a literature student. two very different but very close to what akutagawa might like to pursue. he might enjoy architecture, since he likes calligraphy and well-done sketches and art, but he also enjoys reading literature that dates back to different periods in time to truly understand how life was in the past. he may also pursue history or fine arts, but i'll narrow it down to architecture or literature. for this fic, he'll be a english literature student !! (thank u to mai for helping me out on this)

he's more of the punctual, "i'll get it done on the day it was assigned" type of student. he doesn't procrastinate often and actually manages his time pretty well, because he looks out for his health. although this may seem like a healthy routine, he forces himself to cram as much work as he can in the time frame of 6:00 am to 11:00 pm, so he crashes on the dot and wakes up on the dot, leaving no time for leisure and maybe even basic necessities like eating or showering. either way, he gets his work done and he rarely gets asked by his professors to redo his work or submit on time because he does his work early and with the highest quality

he's a scholar, but he's not necessarily the professor's favorite because he hates doing extracurricular activities. everyone is literally begging him to join debate clubs, literature clubs, journalism, but he just doesn't see the need to do it if it doesn't affect his overall grade. unless absolutely necessary, he never participates in non-academic programs and events.

easily annoyed, so he might beef with some freshmen that get on his nerves LMAO. probably not much but his grudge and spite will never go away even if you so simply as be near him when he's in a mood. he's not exactly the most approachable sophomore, but some people are tough enough to go up to him, but alas he won't entertain you that much.

Modern AU headcanons - Zhongli as your History Professor

Warning: NSFW

Pairing: Zhongli x gn reader

Professor Zhongli is everyone’s most beloved history teacher. His lectures are interesting, full of trivia and funny stories. The man is a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge. He is also very good at maintaining friendly relationships with students - always helpful and willing to stay overtime to answer anyone’s questions.

„The tale about the bard of Mondstadt? Of course, just let me grab my cup of tea, and I shall satisfy your curiosity. Be warned, though, the man was of a disgraceful nature.”

Apart from his gift of the gab, Zhongli is simply too charming to be real. His godly features and finely sculptured body have earned him a loyal swarm of fans among the students as well as other teachers. The man appears to be oblivious to the whole ordeal, viewing it all as acts of friendliness. Although, the occasional smirk on his face might indicate the opposite.

When he strolls along the university corridor with a book in his hand, fully immersed in his musings, he is followed by longing eyes and sighs of admiration. From time to time, he happens to stop by and courtly greet his students, which leaves them weak in their knees.

Dress code? Immaculate. White shirts, black slacks, expensive leather shoes and jackets accentuating his surreal body proportions. Never too long though, it would be a shame to cover such a perfect waist to bottom ratio. He’s bound to carry a pair of reading glasses so that he can engage in his favourite activity whenever he finds a spare moment. Mostly, you could see him hunching over the documents and his students’ recent essays.

When it comes to break-time, the university most famous professor would be often seen in the library, gold eyes taking in the sight of green areas behind the window. Sometimes, even the most patient of people are at their limit, in which case, Zhongli tends to hide in his office with a freshly brewed tea cupped in his hands.

„Mr/Mrs Y/N, Can I ask you to stay after class for a brief moment?”

Once you’re left alone with him behind the closed door of the classroom, Zhongli’s brows furrow, and he crosses his arms on his chest.

„I’m afraid I can’t accept the quality of your paper, Mr/Mrs Y/N. There is still room for improvement. Would you by any chance need my help to work on it? I deem it necessary, otherwise, I’d be forced to lower your final grade. I’d feel awful in such dire circumstances.”

And so, it becomes a part of your routine to regularly visit Mr Zhongli in his office to devote yourselves to the tedious task of correcting your essay.

He is extremely attentive and supportive throughout the whole process. Makes sure to bring some sweet treats to boost your energy levels. He brews tea for both of you, and always asks if it was to your liking.

„Maybe the Jasmine Yin Cloud will be tastier? What do you think, Mr/Mrs Y/N?”

He circles around his office, calmly answering any of your questions in the soothing manner of his baritone voice.

He encourages you to sit at his desk. It happens that he will stand behind you and lean over your shoulder with his glasses resting on the tip of his nose. His hand is placed on the back of the chair, almost touching your skin. The heat radiating from his body floods your whole being, and your cheeks are as red as a cherry. You inhale in his musky scent, and there is nothing else you can focus on.

„Mr/Mrs Y/N, you’re flushed. Should I open the window? Forgive me my negligence. It won’t happen again.”

Zhongli opens the window and proceeds to sit next to you. At this point, you’re so nervous that your hands are shaking like jelly on a spoon. Your knees touch accidentally when he repositions himself on the chair. It makes you so flustered that your brain screams abort abort so you make this very clumsy attempt to stand up, but somehow in the process, the teacup gets knocked over, ending up on the professor’s pristine-white shirt. Luckily, the beverage has long cooled off due to the amount of time you’ve spent in his office. Both of you stand up, and the awkwardness of the situation makes you want to dig your own grave this instant.

„Oh fuu-, I mean, I’m so sorry professor Zhongli! I’m so sorry! Did I hurt you?”

Your hands stiffly wander to the pocket of your jeans in search of tissues. You let out a sigh of relief when your fingers brush over some material. Immediately, you start furiously rubbing on Zhongli’s chest to get rid of the abominable stain that taints the luxurious piece of clothing. You’re barely inches away from the professor, hands flat on his torso.

„Hurt me? I assure you, Mr/Mrs Y/N, it would take more than a cup of tea to achieve that. I don’t think I’m in any physical pain now. It’s quite the opposite.”

„Excuse me?” Your brain short-circuits and hands go still. Somehow, your fingers end up gripping the shirt even tighter.

Zhongli lets out a small chuckle, delicately placing his hands on yours.

„It’s just a small spot, Mr/Mrs Y/N. How about we take a break and head outside for some fresh air? I find it very inspiring, wouldn’t you agree?”

Weeks pass and you can no longer ignore your absolutely disgustingly fat crush on professor Zhongli. It makes you cringe, and you hate your guts for staring at him as if he was some kind of a deity preaching to a mob. It takes a lot to remind yourself that it’s just his lecture, and you’re one of his students.

Student - you keep accentuating the word, repeating it over and over so that it can fully sink in and your brain will stop producing these horrendous scenarios when the professor casually explains the origins of Osmanthus wine to his audience. Or, better yet, when his long hair tickles the palm of your hand as he hovers over you in his office.

He’s always very gentlemanly towards you. Kindly asks about your day and listens to the answer with his eyes boring into your soul. Very often, it happens so that he catches you staring at him, and then he smiles, the kind of a smile that goes right into your crotch and makes your palms sweaty. You’re silently praying that none of the other students picks up on your juvenile reactions.

It’s eating you up alive. You can’t force yourself to stop fantasizing about your professor, and one evening you decide to go to the local bar to drown your sorrows in a cheap bottle of wine. This whole affair has cost you many sleepless nights, and your body and mind are exhausted. As a result, you end up falling asleep with your head resting on the table in the bar.

It happens so that Zhongli and his friend Childe also come to visit this place for a few drinks. It’s almost closing time when the bartender forcefully tugs at your shoulder to wake you up.

„I beg your pardon, but this person is a close acquaintance of mine. I’ll be handling the matters from now on. The gentleman over there will settle the bill.”

And so, the next day you would wake up in an unfamiliar place. Silky sheets are cosily wrapped around your body as you lay down in a king-size bed surrounded by this lovely earthy scent.

„Good morning, Mr/ Mrs Y/N. Hope my humble bedroom was comfortable enough and that you had a good night’s rest.”

The overwhelming sensation of fear causes your body to jump on the bed, and all your muscles tighten when the person standing before you is none other than professor Zhongli. Your heart starts thumping in your chest, and your stomach is in knots when you barely muster up enough courage to ask him about what exactly happened last night. As you anxiously observe, you’re even wearing something that resembles one of professor Zhongli’s shirts.

„Did we–? I mean, did you and me…? Professor Zhongli, I need to know if–?”

The words don’t seem to come out of your tight throat, and it gets even more difficult to breathe when Zhongli sits down on the bed, right beside you. Eyes scrutinizing your face and you push back, nervously pressing your body to the headboard, as you try to flee from his piercing gaze. He chuckles lightly, hand covering the smirk creeping over his majestic face.

„I stumbled upon you at the local bar. It seemed to me that you were too exhausted to manage on your own so, I found it necessary to help.”

He shows no intention of getting closer, and yet you feel trapped. You start hyperventilating when you realise that Zhongli must have dragged you out of the bar and carry you home, only to put some of his shirts on you and tuck you to bed. Your eyes widen when he tenderly squeezes your hand in his.

„Mr/Mrs Y/N, no need to fret. If indeed anything else happened here yesterday, I’m sure you wouldn’t have forgotten that easily.”

Then, Zhongli casually announces that he will go to the kitchen to fix breakfast for both of you. Fully panicked and ashamed, you take it as a chance to sneakily tip-toe out of his apartment. In the following days, professor Zhongli can’t hide his disappointment when you stop attending his classes as well as bail out of the office meetings with him. You’re so thoroughly embarrassed that you can’t bring yourself to face him after what happened.

On a Friday evening, you make up your mind to go to the university’s library to continue working on your paper. The long corridors with shelves full of books are devoid of any guests, which warms the cockles of your heart. The silence soothes your ragged nerves as you wander around the library, looking for one of the books that professor Zhongli recommended for you to read and use in your essay. You’re about to reach for the book, but suddenly somebody touches your shoulder. It’s almost a feather-like touch, but it sends shivers down your spine. Alarmed, you turn around, and your mouth falls open. It’s professor Zhongli again, yet this time there is no sign of a warm smile on his handsome face.

„Good evening, Mr/Mrs Y/N. I suppose you don’t realise how late it is. I must remind you that it’s strictly forbidden to saunter around the library after its closing time.”

He makes a step forward, and you press back against the wall, breathless. You can’t decide if it’s scary or thrilling when Zhongli’s eyes narrow.

„And it so happens that I volunteered to look after the library today. What a coincidence, isn’t it, Mr/Mrs Y/N?”

„I’m so sorry, professor Zhongli, I didn’t kn-,”

Unfortunately, he doesn’t let you finish your sentence as he places his hand on the side of your head. You gulp audibly, eyes darting around in a weak attempt to avoid Zhongli’s cold stare.

„Mr/Mrs Y/N, I don’t reckon you to be as clueless and naive as you make yourself out to be. Do you think me a fool?”

With the other hand he snatches up your chin, and you can no longer escape his eyes. Your lip starts twitching nervously as he takes another step forward, ultimately sealing the tiny space between you. His body feels hard against you, ribbed and toned in all the right places.

„If there is anything I can’t stand, it shall be disobedience. I thought we had a very straightforward agreement, Mr/Mrs Y/N.”

Your knees feel weak, and the ticklish whisper right against your cheek sends shivers through all of your nerves. The type of shivers that make you tremble in front of your professor. His thumb slowly slides along your jaw and his fingers dip into the skin of your neck. If he pressed any harder, he would surely cut out the flow of air going to your lungs.

„Professor Zhongli, I don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. I would nev-,”

The next thing that you manage to register are professor Zhongli’s lips brushing over yours, like a wave of warmth spreading throughout your whole being. The lovely scent invades your nostrils, and your body reacts to him instinctively. With shaky fingers, you let yourself feel Zhongli’s perfectly defined torso, and he only deepens the kiss, humming lowly in approval of your reaction. It’s open-mouth kissing, his tongue fully delving into your mouth with his forehead pressed to yours. The shelf behind you hurts the back of your head when Zhongli forcefully works his tongue against your reddened lips. It must be the last working brain cell in your otherwise bewitched mind that reminds you how risky it is to make out with your professor in the university library. A sound of protest escapes your lips, but even to you, it doesn’t seem convincing enough. Nevertheless, Zhongli withdraws, forehead still resting against yours, but he intimately puts his hand on the back of your head. Zhongli’s long fingers begin reassuringly stroking your hair, and somehow the sensations of fear and nervousness slowly fade away.

„I don’t think it’s wise to do it here, professor Zhongli.”

You’re panting, his soft caresses melt you on the spot. Zhongli’s eyes turn even more feral, and he exhales with a whiff of air. He grips you by your hair and immobilizes your head, golden orbs zeroing in on your face.

„You think I’m not aware of the consequences, Mr/Mrs Y/N? You think I haven–,” he trails off for a few agonising seconds looking for the right way to express his emotions, „I know all of that and yet I can’t bring myself to stop.”

The distance between your eyes narrows yet again, Zhongli presses himself a little harder against you. There is a desperate look in his eyes when he asks for your permission.

„Would you like me to stop, Mr/Mrs Y/N?”

With an urgency that you’ve never thought you could experience, you trap Zhongli’s lips between yours. The kiss, so passionate, knocks the air out of Zhongli’s lungs, and he growls when your hips rub against his lower region. Encouraged, you keep circling your pelvis against his shaft, loving the way he bucks his hips each time you press onto him. You can’t control the flutter inside your groin, setting your body on fire and driving you to continue. Abruptly, the professor’s hands clutch onto your writhing hips. He breaks the kiss and looks like a vicious animal about to devour its prey. You stand there, heart thumping in your chest akin to a herd of galloping horses.

„I’ll need to teach you a lesson, Mr/Mrs Y/N. You won’t be getting away from me ever again. Is that clear?” He presses his open hand to your clothed arousal, and your head lolls back, hitting the shelf with a hollow sound.

„Yes!” It’s all that your hazy mind can produce with his hand so teasingly sliding up and down your sex. Hearing you moan out like that, Zhongli thinks he might shoot his load right into his elegant slacks.

Having no time to waste, the professor sinks to his knees, hands impatiently getting your clothes out of the way. You think your brain is fooling you. It must be. It’s like a scene taken from one of your shameless wet dreams. However, the cold fingers going up the inner side of your thighs feel much too real. Goosebumps explode all over your skin when his hot breath tickles your exposed core. Zhongli firmly grips your thigh and places it over his shoulder, knee bent and leg resting on his muscular back.

„Keep steady for me, Little one. I don’t like to be interrupted.”

The pet name he decides to use to address you sends impulses down to your sex. Your walls contract around nothing. It’s frustrating, and you moan out his name with your nails digging into his shoulders to maintain some stability. Keeping his watchful eyes on you, Zhongli coats his index finger with saliva and gently dips it into your entrance. He’s very gentle with you. He stretches you out, lightly probing his finger against the sensitive muscles. It slides in deeper and deeper with each careful push of his digit. His breath fanning over your arousal, teasing you to no end. There is no discomfort, just mind-numbing pleasure. You’re adjusting to his rhythm, hips jerking forward in perfect harmony with the steady plunge of his finger into you. It’s like nothing you’ve ever felt before, hypnotic beyond reason. A choked sob after a choked sob continuously falls from your lips when Zhongli fully covers your sex with his mouth. He sucks on the bundle of nerves never stopping to sink his finger into your core. Your slick keeps gathering in the corner of his mouth, and when he pulls out his chin is glistening with your arousal.

„How indecent. Do you want me so badly that you’re already dripping down your thighs?“ He mocks, his tongue thoroughly licking off the sticky mess from the surface of his swollen lips.

„Says the one who goes down on his student.” You bite back, shoving his head back to your pulsating hole. Zhongli moans against your core, the sweet vibrations ripple through your heat. It’s insane, and you feel half-mad for allowing this to happen.

Pure pleasure washes over you in uncontrollable waves, one stronger than the other. The way he glides his tongue all over you with his golden orbs gazing up to observe your flushed face must be the most obscene view you’ve ever seen in your life. Your orgasm hits you out of nowhere. Muscles turn rigid as the world around goes to a standstill. Needy cries and Zhongli’s name coming out of your parched throat are the only sounds echoing in the empty library. You come all over his mouth, and Zhongli earnestly swallows everything your wrecked by pleasure body gives him with a satisfied groan.

He takes you home after that. He prepares you a warm bath and feeds you a delicious meal. Once you’re tucked in bed, with his body hugging you from behind, he props on his elbow and lovingly whispers into your ear.

„I expect to see you tomorrow in my office after class, Mr/Mrs Y/N.”

„You’ve made me spill into your mouth. How about we drop the pleasantries, professor Zhongli?”

He chuckles and nudges his nose against your cheek, making your heart skip a beat.

„I really have to do something about that obscene language of yours, Little one.”

maybe can i request headcanons for older!eren? 🥺 sfw and nsfw perhaps 😉

All aboard the older Eren train 🚂

✨setting: modern au wise✨

-a 40 year old Eren is still the same Eren.

-He might have calmed down a little; just a little but he’s still a stubborn.

-Is still in top top shape; abs are still god tier. He just has his hair longer and a beard. Not because he wants to but because his twin girls prefer Eren that way.

-his twin girls both like to chew on his long hair much like he did with Carla; one girl takes one side and the other takes another side and he doesn’t mind it until much later he feels the ends of his hair wet with slobber.

-has a 8 year old son, a 5 year old son, newborn twins girls. Four kids working on a fifth.

-Eren has been busy over the years. (🤧)

-When Eren decides to cut his hair and beard he returns home to his kids and s/o to have both twin girls cry

-breaking his heart in two because they both don’t recognize him. When he tries to hold either of his princess’s both cry.

-however his two sons thinks he looks better and likes the hair cut to which he is happy about.

-Eren’s s/o likes Eren as is.

-Still he lets his hair and beard grow out.

-Both twin girls like Zeke mainly because of his beard; while the two boys like Zeke because he plays baseball with them. Eren just likes watch the two play.

-His twin boys like to play cards with eren though; they wager everything from money to who has to do chores for the week.

-Older! Eren is much more open with his feelings (if he wasn’t before) with his s/o.

-Sometimes he feels a bit down and wants to talk with his beloved so he opens then.

-Eren is a university professor; he teaches political science and law.

-His students have met his kids and they all love them. Especially the oldest boy; he looks just like a kid Eren.

-when the kids are asleep he likes one of two things either he wants to cuddle or he wants something late night sex.

-NSFW

-Just because Eren is getting older doesn’t mean his vigor is; he’s still a monster in sheets.

-Eren still has thicc ass hips. 😏😇

-still the dominant one; no if’s and but about it.

-his stamina is still there; can go for two or three rounds.

-Still is magnificent with his tongue with his beard however he tries to keep it in check because too much of a beard is not a good thing for his beloved so he keeps it in check quite well.

-When he does get to get go down on his lover he always make them cum; it gets to the point where he tries to beat his previous time. He keeps track.

-the beard does a lot for his lover. 💙

-If his s/o asks him to role play with him being the professor and his is another teacher Eren gets way into it, not like Zeke but he gets into it.

-lingerie on his s/o still turns him on; but he really enjoys the red silk robes. He just happened to see his beloved In one and the rest is history.

-Older Eren prefers night sex as opposed to when he was younger he just didn’t care where. Still Older Eren will do it anytime any place. Older just prefers sex at night since the kids are asleep.

-Eren and his s/o have been almost been caught before by their eldest son trying to get it on in the laundry room had Eren not locked the door.

-Which is why he prefers sex at night.

-there are times when Eren wants morning sex that’s when the kids are with Grisha and Carla, and he sees his s/o are in their apron washing the dishes. Eren gets a nice glimpse of his beloved’s ass and the next thing both know is Older Eren has his cock buried deep inside his s/o.

-Older Eren has a erotic lacation kink with a breeding kink. it really took off after his first son and escalated from there.

-seeing his beloved round with their first born son turned him and drinking her milk from her breasts really turned him on.

-it’s hard for him to contain himself when he sees his beloved breast feed. He knows the taste and he likes it too 😏

-older! Eren is still kinky.

[frostironfudge]

eeeeep hello here’s my little fancast for now :3

these might not make sense to others this is just what my brain went with fmgshdhe

nia !! as !! hailee steinfeld !!

this just clicked in my brain immediately, maybe bc i wanna be besties with kate bischop, but look how pretty!! ofc thor would be a simp for her

i also imagine nia with glasses and as a bisexual. idk my gaydar is just going off with her :3

also can i just say that you gave thor a better love interest with better chemistry than marvel gave us with jane? bc i love thor and nia as a couple already :p

i imagine emery dua saleh, mainly bc they played my most beloved enby in media, cal bowman :)) can’t wait to see more of them!!

i imagine clark as sam collins bc he’s my favourite trans youtuber :)) he’s helped me a lot with figuring out i’m nonbinary transmasc

miles as danny pudi!! probably bc he’s my favourite actor as of now so i imagine him in a lot of things

the dean as tony leung. idk i just watched shang-chi again and he plays an old dad with like a leading position. i know being the leader of a thousand years old mob and being a dean are quite different from eachother but eh it clicks in my brain lmao

and whoever it was that attacked y/n as david tennant. probably bc of his roles as kilgrave from jessica jones and barty crouch jr from harry potter 4 i naturally imagine him as a lot of kinda insane villains like that lol

fmgahdhshs i’m sorry for not going into deeper details like with the other fancast i’m rly tired lmao. lmk if i missed any characters :)) i hope you like it!

— zylith :p

ZYLITH YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN THIS IS SO GOOD AS ALWAYS

more under the cut!

Nia:

you and i both wanna be besties with kate bishop she is so badass but is a lil smol bean

honestly i can see hailee as nia, oh and you're spot on about nia being bi!

IM ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING (honestly thor deserves the best and not to toot my own horn but Nia is one of the best for him if not the best!)

honestly writing thor and nia is such a joy i want to explore them in further chapters and i have a rough outline for the chapter im doing that in

emery:

honest i enjoyed the breath of fresh air dua saleh brought to sex education as cal, their characteristics and journey was truly mesmerising to watch and the representation it brings for several others is a cherry on top

I honestly picture them with glasses and they have this just absolutely comforting air about them, more of emery is coming into the lime light is all i can say for now

in my headcanon emery and y/n meet on day one and they are very nervous because they have only been open with their pronouns and sexual orientation for the past year and university is a new place and dr. stephen strange (department head) makes sure everyone says their names and pronouns because he knows how daunting a course can be and it makes emery very happy that they can introduce themself to the fellow students and just seeing the radiant smile emery gives upon their turn just has everyone in smiles and awe.

clark:

the photos you have provided do fit the aesthetic i have in mind for clark, i'm so happy you had a positive influence to help you realise that you are nonbinary transmas, be you unapologetically and proudly, you have an ally here with you and a friend ❤️

miles:

i've seen danny pudi in quiet a few different roles i'm hoping to start watching community what are your thoughts?

I do think they would also be a good choice for miles!

the dean:

honestly i think it is a spot on recommendation, as we've seen in shang-chi he does have that authoritative side but a softer side as well which i think loads of teachers/professors should have

y/n's attacker:

well i can't confirm who i have in mind as it will be revealed but honestly how did i not think of kilgrave?????????????? (might just give him a role cause he and his ability would fit in so well.)

awww don't worry its alright if you did not go deeper we can have more discussions in the future always! i'm so sorry i did not reply earlier i was so caught up and i was just trying to push the chapters out since i want to be a week ahead of schedule like this week i posted chapter 5 while writing chapter 6 almost did not complete it in time but now fortunately i've got the structure for chapter 7 so i'm contented

Blaire Reviews: Ezra Season 4

Disclaimer: This is all my opinion, you are allowed to disagree with me. I encourage you to read this route and form your own opinions. (It’s no secret that EAA is my favorite series, so this will probably be extremely biased)

First Impressions

The stakes are very high going into this season. Red is on the loose, and with the spell on the Ice Queen's heart broken, it's only a matter of time before she's there as well. Probably doesn't help that Ezra broke the fucking front door down because either could easily walk into the house and kill everyone.

The conflict becomes immediately apparent when Ezra and FMC go to the university and find that all of the students and faculty are in some sort of trance, lifelessly moving around the school, while barely reacting to anything going on around them (If only Bosco was in this route, he'd fit right in).

They go to the library to find Darla, only to discover that she and Omar are also under this mysterious spell, and have lost their memories of magic. We also got this glorious moment (and you're lying if you said you picked any other option).

Ezra, Mouse, and Edward go off to find Red (and restore the power of three after Ezra broke it last season by running away like the dramatic bitch he is for like the fifth time in his route) leaving FMC with Nora and Arin, who get her to confess that the spell around the Ice Queen's heart has been broken. Fortunately, FMC is also given confirmation that she was not responsible for what was happening to the student body.

Unfortunately, we find out that Red is the one responsible for this, having stolen Omar's lamp and using them essentially as an army to literally "paint the town red".

In order to find Red's book, Ezra and FMC realize they need to go to the magic world to find it. Nora goes with them in order to collect ingredients she needs to reverse Dr. Tutorea's curse. But Arin warns them that The Ice Queen would know if Ezra was in the world, so they had to be quick.

The group (minus MMC and Lucas for some reason) performs a spell that will allow the door between worlds to be slightly open. I thought that this heart scene was incredibly well done, and was 100% worth the hearts.

Once in the magic world, we're immediately introduced to Galahad. Now I know plenty of people want his route, which I can understand, (the amount of male LIs who are genuinely sweet off the bat is very low) but I found him to be boring. Granted, he wasn't introduced until halfway through Ezra's last season, and his character was barely used. If we were given more time to see his character, maybe I'd understand the hype around him more.

Ezra finds Red's book and reads it, realizing that Red was the one who killed the wolves (like with Grandma, I'd suspected it, but the reveal was still shocking nonetheless). The Ice Queen shows up (though we don't actually see her), and with Red's book, the potion for Dr. Tutorea, and our new friend who Ezra totally isn't jealous of, the group goes back through the door.

I loved the final battle (even if it was paywalled) and being able to see everyone working together to take Red down. AND MOUSE FINALLY GOT TO SLAP HER!

Good for you baby, I'm proud of you.

For someone who has been getting hyped for this entire route, the Ice Queen made an appearance for a whooping one episode. In her defense, she did make the most of her short appearance. Her turning on Red and calling her out for betraying the hunters and Grandma was an amazing moment. Also:

Yeah, it's a little on the nose, especially since we already know she's getting a route in June. Still, I thought it was a fun addition. See you then Lavinia!

The finale was similar to Nora's. The MCs get their memories back, and FMC, Ezra, Nora, Lucas, and Dr. Tutorea go to the magic world. But what I wasn't expecting was that last heart scene. In all honesty, it probably was just a cute moment between Ezra and FMC, and I'm probably overthinking things. But it seemed a lot like they were exchanging vows- So I'm allowing myself to have this headcanon that they eloped.

Then and Now

Since this was Ezra's final season, I'm going to compare the character and relationship dynamics in his first and last seasons.

When we first meet Ezra, he's clearly the mean, snarky LI that we have never seen before, especially in wlm routes. We did get a few glimpses of a softer, more gentle side of Ezra as the season progressed, and he showed himself to be very protective over FMC (especially when Edward was introduced). One thing I loved about the relationship dynamic between FMC and Ezra was the banter. Both of them have very strong personalities, and there were moments where they would clash with each other. But rather than being malicious remarks towards each other, these arguments were more playful jabs, which was refreshing.

In this season, Ezra was much more open with FMC. There was still some witty banter between the two of them, but we also got more sweet moments. There was also better communication, and there was clearly a great amount of trust there. Ezra didn't run off as much and would tell FMC his plans beforehand to make her feel more comfortable.

In my opinion, Ezra is an example of the rude LI trope done right. He admires FMC's ambition and bravery, mentioning how most people don't have the guts to stand up to him (which is the origin of the nickname "Little Star"). I've seen other LIs of this type belittling the MC, and sometimes downright insulting them Chance Valentine, but Ezra clearly respects her.

Final Thoughts

It's always sad to see such a beloved route end. This story had so much potential, and it's sad to see the potential wasted by ending a route early, especially with such a beloved LI. As someone who isn't attracted to men, it's rare for me to find a wlm route that I can avidly enjoy and look forward to seeing updates for.

Despite the ending feeling somewhat rushed, this season was incredibly well done and allowed us time to see our favorite characters one last time. Red was an amazing and ruthless villain, the dynamic between the group was wonderful. I don't think we could have asked for a better ending (just maybe a few seasons later).

Overall Rating: 8/10

Favorite CG

I was stuck between this CG and the last one, but if there's anything that I'm weak for, it's beautiful lighting and attractive women.

[floxalopex]

I don't know if somebody already did this specifically. But yh the heck let's go.

WARNING 1: THIS IS NOT A POST FOR SENSITIVE PEOPLE AND/OR MINORS. (it contains gore and sexual themes and more).

And yes, SALT. Lots of salt.

WARNING 2: this has nothing to do with Christianity specifically. Atheism isn't hate towards your god(s) and/or its believers. Although there are many forms of atheism (some of which are so strong and violent they make me furious) think about mine as a general form of indifference. I hate the Church state, yes, but sorry I have that "at home" so please don't blame me. I don't like Abrahamic religions in general, but I've grown up with one.

I'm thankfully not a cult survivor, but I can understand some things.

WARNING 3: living in a very religious contest I have many beloved friends and relatives (starting with my mother) who believe in their god a lot. So if my words are too disrespectful tell me, I really don't want to hurt anybody.

Okay.

So.

I've seen many similarities between the cult Horde Prime put his clones in and your very average, very white, very western idea of Christianity.

1) Theophagy:

First of all, I really don't know much how this thing is lived in other Christian countries, but in mine they put a lot of emphasis on the Eucharist.

As far as I've seen I think it's pretty obvious how much in ancient cultures there's a very carnal and very grounded idea of the spirit. That can result in believing the soul to be the "psyche", so literally "the breath of life", the coordination of your sinapsis togheter (to me a very poetic definition of how our whole being ourselves is just us being our central nervous system) or it can lead to you eating the ashes of your granpa so you get his good qualities (something some cultures still do today). They said that the head of Orpheus was buried in the island of Lesbo and that's why its land was filled with amazing poets like Sappho. There's this very, sorry, brutal idea of the embodyment of the soul, the talents of a person, that even a piece of corpse is considered a magic thingy.

This is no different in the very old, very ancient, very rural Christian religion (at least in the most common version of it, we have many flavours of one truth apperentely).

When I was in High School we studied a lot Bacchus and the Baccanalia, because there are several commedies about it. My teacher, being very religious, was almost ashamed to admit that a lot of acts of those festivities (let's say that the most normal thing was for women to give their milk to animal cubs) were actually not very dissimilar in their rawness to certain habits of the religion.

So, what about Horde Prime? (me *yh, what about it, stupid ADHD?*). I have seen a post in the past explaining that yes, even though spacebats have the dentition of a frugivore bat and not haematophagus bat, the scene of Prime recharging in his throne with all those disgusting cables filled with green liquid referred as "the life force" of his clones...well, it's surely something.

Looks like a sort of sci-fi vampire thing. Which is very cool and I love this headcanon. So again I kept thinking...what is THAT amniotic fluid? I am a student, so correct me if I say something wrong.

Amniotic fluid is a combination of water 99%, proteins, glucids, fats and some salts (...it's even effective for electric conduction...the heck is that pool).

The most similar body fluid is plasma, so blood less cells. Even the serum, so plasma less proteins, is very similar.

Now, stated that Prime is a manipulative jerk, stated that I don't know much about aliens' physiology, stated that that fluid can come from blood potentially, in Church they say this:

*and Jesus said: "This is my body/blood which I offer in sacrifice for you"*

Apart from it being very creepy, there's this idea in the whole religion-thingy: if you are human you are a selfish monster, so monstrous you made our Lord and Savior die for your sins for how messed up you were.

So basically you don't become a sinner, you are concived as one. Humanity is sin itself, it can never lead to something good.

So are the clones. That's why Prime, in his benevolence, feeds them with himself. To make them pure, to protect them from the outside world. To make them remember who their strenght comes from.

If you don't want to read all of this just go for the Futurama soda episode, it's basically the same thing. Bleah.

2) Corpse feticism and more.

Again, don't know you guys, but here we are filled with mummies. I went in a place in Palermo and ...my gosh why did I do that.

We have everything here, hands, heads, feet, teeth so many of them, dead babies, dead virgins, dead popes, dead elders, all of them for half the prize, but only if you call today.

We are. Filled. With these atrocities. At least we don't touch them anymore.

Sometimes I wonder if, apart from the "hygene", people in Middle Ages used to die at the honorable age of 13 also because they kissed those... thingies there.

So, can we please talk about Horde Prime collection of "previous selves"?

This man has a whole room filled with corpses of himself. In the Vatican you can find corpses of dead popes as well, preserved and even dressed in a very good way. In Italy in general we have these, I remember a whole room in a town near my city filled with skeletons of "saints". Personally I find it very disturbing because you are basically not allowing that body to rest and serve its last biological purpose, especially if you consider that most of these "saints" were mentally impared young kids who were killed brutally and died as "martyrs". In ancient Greece the WORST thing you could do to a corpse was to leave it unburied, without dignity.

It's getting darker now.

I like both headcanons for Prime, that of a spoiled (maybe even sexist) royal of a lost culture who wanted to conquer the universe and that of him being a sort of ancient evil spirit, but I personally like to stick with the latter.

Imagine the old bodies of the clones Prime used for himself. Pushed to their limits. Clones dying young is horrific as well, but like these people were forced to go on. Not to die. Not to age as much as possible. And now that they are dead they can't even rest. They are a show off for anyone to see. Their brains preserved and their literal dead flesh still tormented for reading.

One may ask me, then what about corpses in formalin for medical use? Well, one thing is a donor or a dead fetus or a corpse nobody claims. That's the story of the skeleton in my university, a young male who didn't eat much. A very lonely man. Well at least now he is well loved and appreciated, ah if only he knew that.

The point is, we respect them. We are grateful for the informations they give us. Gosh, I know I'm creepy, but I even cuddled one bone once. We know they probably suffered. Like, search for HeLa cells. That lady has my highest respect.

But Prime? Those are. Vessels. Just that.

Anyways, apart for the "respect the deads thing" I found Hordak's behaviour in that room that of high distress. Like, ehm, any normal person? Search for "Convento Dei Cappuccini", that place I was talking about in Palermo. The fact that I heard kids cry and "MEMENTO MORI" everywhere.

Everyone and everything is afraid of death, I just accepted that fear because it's normal. That doesn't mean I want to be reminded of it every week, especially if I'm a 7 yo kid.

Honorable mentions: that horrible art collection.

3) Double standards

When I went to catechism my teacher used a very feather hand on males and an iron fist on us ladies. We weren't allowed to wear trousers, to play football, to raise our voice. We were forced to be very clean, to sit with our legs as closed as possible. I heard it was worse before, at least we could play volleyball and weren't forced to knit.

We were however "encouraged" to sing and bake stupid cakes for Sundays. Mind you, I'm very feminine, but one thing is liking ribbons one thing is being a slave.

The boys...well, they could literally do anything. They broke things, used petards, beat each other. They were NEVER reproached, the teachers would say "oh, they are just boys". Like once I was so engrossed. I remember I had to sit behind a guy with his butt almost uncovered (because the lower you put the helm of your trousers the cooler you were) while I had to stay still with my head high, chest out, belly in and legs closed for 2h. The problem was: I almost pitied him. I was like "poor thing he doesn't know how to behave properly". That's so crazy, I was piting a free soul while I had my hands handcuffed because I truly believed the bullshit they put into my mind.

Now, imagine how did Horde Prime's clones feel about Catra and Glimmer.

They can dress as they please. Eat non amniotic fluid. Catra can even go wherever she wants.

To me, they didn't feel envious. As they should! That's how far an indoctrination can go.

Take Yudi interaction with Catra, he believes everything he is saying.

But I think deep down he knows, they all know, the truth, juding by his bitter reaction after being possesed. He knows he is the slave here, not the free man. But he wants to believe the other way round.

I think that yes, of course Prime kept Glimmer and Catra (and Hordak) because he needed them to conquer Etheria. But that is also a good way to show to the poor clones of how lost people far away from Prime's light can be. Slaves of their bodly needs and slaves of their individuality.

4) Sexual abuse

Do I need to explain this? Plus all those sick touches Prime gives not only to Hordak, but to Glimmer, Catra and Adora as well?

I don't know much about other countries, again, but here the Church is a real cancer. If a priest gets accoused of raping children he just gets put into another Church far away, and generally he keeps being a pedo even there and the game goes on.

I wouldn't exately say that Prime is a pedophile but clones are pretty innocent and neotenic to me so...idk.

Of course, Prime is his own state and his own rules, so yh. Raping all day. That's why I don't like to ship him with anything rather than a 100 m fall. Not even with his clones, sorry I know its kinky maybe but he is a monster.

Also, the way the clones feel like...honored to be raped. That's so sad. Maybe he convinced them this is the only right way they could experience sex and intimacy. I really don't know.

One thing I'm sure of is that Christian religion likes to often put shame on some "impure" acts. That's the name. The most impure of all is masturbation. If you are a male ...mmm well it's okay dear, it's not your fault you are male and so a sex starved animal. But if you are a girl? Ihhh oh dare you bitch.

Mind you, I fall in the ace spectrum but I did too have puberty and needs, and these thoughts in my head made me only conflicted.

Last thing. More of an asking. And more irriverent, so please stay away if you don't want to read.

So basically I understood I was atheist at 5 yo, just because I read two different versions of the birth of the Universe, one in my science book and one in my Bible (MY Bible, I still have it, was a gift of my aunt) and preferred the science version. I still felt conflicted, like once during a religion lesson at School (well...I don't blame Mussolini much in this case, I mean the Vatican wasn't still recognizing country indipendence and we needed a compromise) the teacher told me to stop drawing dinosaurs with Adam and Eve because they never existed. I mean...yes that's anachronistic but still I felt very sad, dinosaurs were cooler than that story. I remember I even made an experiment "if I say I don't believe in god will I get thunderstruck?". It didn't happen so I was like "oh cool, science wins". But then CATECHISM ecc ecc. The fun fact is that they think atheists are those who don't study religion, while I was the most zelous of the class.

So.

I just wonder...my baby boy Hordak is a man of science, what were his thoughts after his separation from Prime. I mean of course he still believed, but also not as much after some time. Entrapta is a support system for him of course, but he accepts her affection quite easily on canon. Which is amazing, still... maybe he was already doubting his devotion?

Alfred Nathaniel Hallam III Headcanons!!!

YES his name is Alfred Nathaniel Hallam yes he is a third no I do not take criticism

Childhood:

- Alfie got pneumonia as an infant. It messed up his lungs A Lot and affected his immune system and stuff as well so as a child he was constantly sick. 

- He was in and out of hospital a lot and had a few surgeries so he was always on bed rest and isolated to everyone until he was about four years old. 

- All of his medical issues caused his mum, Elizabeth Hallam, to dote on him a lot and suffocate him a bit. His father, Alfred Hallam II was the opposite and became pretty detached from being a father figure to Alfie. 

- At a very young age, Alfred was introduced to stories since he couldn’t go anywhere. He was constantly reading in bed and learning often. Also his father made him study German just for funsies. 

- His grandfather Wally, or Alfred Hallam I, introduced Alfred to Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland when he was three. Wally re-enacted the story to him in hospital a lot, and it inspired Alfred to fall in love with the story and take on the characters as his own. Wally got him his own copy after an especially difficult surgery, as well as a stuffed rabbit called Baby because he’s a three year old and it’s his little baby bunny :-) (he still ends up traveling with it as an adult and can’t leave without him). 

- Around that time, his parents had his little brother, Elias (named after their mum) to be a backup plan or new start because they didn’t think Alfred would be much worth to them in the future. Yes they are shitty I know :/ 

- His parents have very very very high expectations for him because he’s now the older brother who has to do everything and he’s not their spoiled sick baby boy. They let Eli be a little shit and do anything he wants (like any little sibling but multiplied by like 10) while Alfie was expected to be the perfect child who dressed, acted, looked, and spoke the way they wanted. 

- Alfie and his parents are very posh sounding because they live in Bromley, but he has a slight northern twang because of his grandfather. His parents hate it. 

- When he’s four years old, after a long period of bedrest, Alfred is allowed to play alone outside, and he meets Alice. They refer to that day as their Golden Afternoon because it was the day they became the best of friends, and Alfred introduced Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland to her. (At first Alice was probably like Who are you and what are you doing in my backyard and Alfred is just SO EXCITED to introduce his favorite storybook in his entire existence so she budges and let’s him share his world with her)

- Alfie is a huge bookworm and while he adores learning and reading, his infatuation for learning mathematics (mostly so he could impress his father and maybe he would love him more if he knew “Big Kid Things” yes I know 🥺🥺🥺) manifested into an obsession with time, as well as the fear of being late or running out of time. He was surrounded by the idea of death from a young age and it influenced the way he thought about himself and what might happen to him if he didn’t listen to his parents. Their pressure brought out his anxiety disorder and depression at a very young age and it sticks with him throughout the rest of his life. His escape from all that death and sadness was Alice’s Adventures because he could always reset the clock at the end of the book and start again. 

- When he’s five, Alfie spends some of his rich kid allowance on a copy of Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland for Alice, and in return she buys him a pocket watch a few years later. He adores it and never ever takes it off even as an adult. 

- Alfred avoids his own home a lot and spends time with Alice in their conjoined backyard, playing pretend and acting out their story together. Sometimes, they spent the days inside her house (Mama Hallam is good friends with the Spencer parents, so she doesn’t mind them watching Alfie) and Alfred is well acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Spencer enough where he considers them paternal figures...sort of. (Mr. Spencer is lowkey highkey Alfred’s bisexual awakening, and he’s one of Alfred’s first crushes; it doesn’t help that his own father constantly criticizes him and his interests or is absent from his life doing slimy rich man things. Daddy issues.)

- Mr. Spencer is a book lover (possibly librarian? Also sometimes professor :-)) and so he’s constantly discussing stories with Alfred and Alice on an intellectual level fit for the both of them. Most adults treat them like small children, so Alfred loves the attention. 

- When Mr. Spencer dies in their early teenagehood, Alice and Alfred get incredibly attached to their storybook, and they find more comfort in it than ever. His death launched Alfred’s struggles with eating and sleeping, as well. 

- This is one of the harder periods of time for Alfred, as he and Alice didn’t have any friends aside from each other. They’re incredibly codependent on one another. 

- Mamie Van Eysen flirts with Alfred a lot during this time, but only as a joke. Either that, or she makes fun of his body and his personality—both in front of Alice, to make Alfred uncomfortable and Alice jealous. Other students bully him and Alice often. 

- A lot of Alfie’s self image issues stem from this time, and his anxiety and depression worsen. 

- When Alice’s mum dies when they’re fifteen, the pair runs away together. Alice almost gets assaulted, and Alfred wants to protect her. He gets into a giant fistfight with the older man. It’s bad enough to the point where the man is arrested and Alfred is hospitalized; it’s the hardest period he’s ever spent in hospital, even after all of his childhood issues. The police bring Alice and Alfred home and Alfred is banned from visiting Alice for a while. They communicate by speaking through the windows straight across from one another, or holding up signs from the window seats. While Alfred is healing, Mama Hallam is extra overbearing and critical to the point of being toxic and unhealthy for Alfred. His brother gets really mean around this time, too, as he doesn’t get the attention he once had. His and Alfred’s relationship get really rocky, and it’s never really mended in the future. 

- The day Alice and Alfred can officially reunite, they never separate and they’re stuck at the hip from this point forward. 

- When Alfred isn’t hanging out with Alice, he is at his grandfather’s hat shop, helping him stock or sell products. He puts his money towards a secret emergency fund in case he runs away again—this time without Alice. Alfred can never get past the front door, though. 

University:

- When they reach uni, Alfie majors in mathematics and education, and minors in literature and statistics. He finds joy and love in his studies again, even if school itself affects his mental health. 

- Alfred doesn’t want to be dependent on his parents, so he gets a job at a coffee shop and writes essays on the side for money. His caffeine addiction is dangerous at this point, and he often finds himself not eating or sleeping until it’s physically impossible not to take care of himself. 

- Alfred puts all of his money towards renting an apartment with none other than Miss Tabatha Dedwin!!

- He and Tabbie are flatmates. Since Tabbie is best friends with Dodgy Dawkins, he meets him, as well. They’re friends for good after that, and that’s when Alfred starts to wind down, smoking with them, as well as his Alice. 

Adulthood:

- After university, Alfred gets official treatment and is able to change his eating habits and caffeine addiction. 

- Alfred learns about emotional support animals and gets a Giant Flemish Rabbit named Ollie to be his support animal. He’s giant and blue-eyed and looks like the spitting image of Alfred’s beloved White Rabbit. He’s a cutie. 

- Alfred also did a little bit of gardening when he was getting treatment, and once he’s home he gets all sorts of plants and becomes a Plant Dad (with lots of research, of course!)

- In his mid twenties, Alfred finishes his extra schooling and becomes a primary school teacher. He blossoms into a happy, mostly healthy bisexual man with lots of plants and a sweet pet bunny and he wears funky disastrous outfits and has an amazing support system!!! (Alice, Wally, Tabs, and Dodgy :-) also Wally’s lover Denny the carpenter who comes out to Alfred when he’s an adult. He’s super shook but he gets even closer to Wally because they’re more similar than he believed)

- When he’s prob like 30 he goes to more school and becomes a university professor in the end of his years! Depending on who he ends up with he possibly has a few kids and a bunny and life is good!!! He’s teaching and learning constantly and it’s the life he’s always wanted even if his parents never accept his Christmas cards and his brother doesn’t answer his calls. He’s happier than he’s ever been. 

- Also don’t tell Sage but when Alfie’s older his health problems catch up to him and he dies a relatively young death due to complications with his lungs :-( rip to my main man Alf

Little Headcanons:

- Alfie is the Biggest animal person besides maybe Tabbie. The ONLY exception is geese because one time he tried to feed a goose was brutally attacked by a goose and is afraid of them. He prob does birdwatching in his free time too 

- Alfred’s fashion is HORRENDOUS @dodgefred and I made it up forever ago that he was a fashion disaster and ofc Colton’s costume...moving on. The reasoning for his fashion is he just picks pieces that make him happy that day and he sticks with it it doesn’t matter if he matches he’s just vibing.

- He reads his kids bedtime stories and he’s so devoted to being the father his own dad never ever was - When he becomes a professor it’s probably to teach Calculus and while his class makes people cry Very Often Alfie as a teacher himself is very very empathetic and comforting and yeah math is a bitch but he’ll take time out of his lunch breaks and extends his office hours way past the set time to help a student!!! He’s such a comfort to LGBT+ students and he probably has a few he discusses gay discourse in literature with (Tabbie absolutely introduced him to lesbian literature also also this isn’t a Tabs post but she stans Shakespeare :-)). Professor Alfie is the weird quirky prof. who stresses you out sometimes but also he goes on long tangents about his interests and how much he loves his significant other or children or baby bunny child Ollie!! He has so many plants and books in his classroom too it’s a Lot.

- Wayyyyy into theatre but he didn’t pursue acting onstage because his dad is homophobic :/ but he was in charge of lighting in school productions and fell in love with the stage

- He helps his friends study by acting out their textbooks for them and they always always ace their tests

- MUG COLLECTOR!!! He has so many mugs it’s not even funny his entire cupboard is taken over by them honestly 

- Virgin who can’t drive 

- Such a cursed and baseless hc I’m So Sorry but his first crush was the tomato from Veggie Tales 

- Going off the last point he grew up in a Catholic household and he had one of those mums who was like you are Not allowed to watch tv unless it’s like. Veggie Tales or the Little Einsteins

- Alfie plays piano!!!! Also he did ballet when he was younger but he left because it was super bad for his mental and physical wellbeing and is convinced he’s a bad dancer because of his poor experience with the art

- Alice calls Alfred her Bunnie and he calls her My Alice/Allie/Allie Cakes

The end :-)

[magicofthepen]

For the character thingy, romana and leela?? ❤

ROMANA - I’m going to answer for Romana I, since I already did Romana II!

favorite thing about them: so I fell in love with Romana I instantly when I watched The Ribos Operation. I was like “wait no one told me that Romana’s basically a recent graduate who always thrived in school but has now suddenly been thrust into the Real World and is a bit of a mess” and oh my god why is she so relatable, also I love that about her. I love that she doesn’t quite know what she’s doing, and her academic brilliance doesn’t necessarily help in the situations she’s finding herself in, but she keeps trying and learning, so by the end of season 16 she’s much more confident and capable on her own than she was when she started. I just absolutely adore the premise of her character and how she develops during the key to time quest. also her banter skills are so excellent. (….this wasn’t one thing whoops. 😄)

least favorite thing about them: I feel like it’s something about how she’s portrayed in the Gallifrey audios, but I can’t quite articulate what? but I feel like somehow, some of the things I really liked about her on TV (her witty fun banter, her determination even when she’s out of her depth) aren’t represented as much when we get glimpses of Actual Romana I (not Pandora or an alternate universe version). idk if this is even fully true, it’s just….she doesn’t quite have the same vibe as the character I remember from the TV show (but this is also tricky because the Lies scene, the Matrix projection in Lies (which *isn’t* really her technically) and the remains of her consciousness in the body that Pandora’s using are the only times we get Actual Romana I - which isn’t that much time to express all the nuances of her character.)

(continuing to skip the favorite line question because it’s too hard)

brOTP: her and the Doctor!! (like I said in the Romana II ask, I used to ship them more, but lately I’ve been more into a platonic interpretation.) I just as instantly fell for their dynamic in the Ribos Operation - two people with very different personalities who don’t get along but are forced to work together and gradually become friends?? this is exactly the kind of relationship arc that I adore. Their banter and snark is So Good (I was so entertained by their interactions in Ribos Operation that my brain refused to pay attention to anything but their scenes, and I ended up having issues following the plot later oops). And I love their growing respect and care for each other - how they go from being mutually dismissive of each other to valuing each other and being a solid Team and just really genuinely liking each other! their friendship is just Very Good (…..and now I really want to rewatch season 16….I’ve only seen it like one and a half times but I loved it very much….)

OTP: I don’t think I have any ships with Romana I that I would consider an ‘otp’? (the closest would be her and the Doctor since I have sometimes shipped them and I adore their relationship in general)

nOTP: Brax/Romana again….and tbh with Romana I it’s more of an actual nOTP (rather than ‘kinda nOTP, kinda ‘it’s complicated’’) because this is the time frame when she’s actually his student and so my discomfort with student/teacher relationships really rears its head (although there’s still one fic out there that I just think is so well-written.....but it does show the relationship as very unhealthy). 

random headcanon: .....so sorry to continue Sartia posting, but oops the first thing that popped into my head is my new maybe-unrealistic headcanon that Sartia was Romana’s first kiss. in a teenage “I’m curious and want to try this thing and you’re the only person I hang out with, but it doesn’t mean anything....or does it??” way. (.....this is so self-indulgent in such a terrible way rip.)

unpopular opinion: Armageddon Factor is my favorite Key to Time story! (I gather this is an unpopular opinion in Doctor Who Fandom At Large, it doesn’t seem to be liked as much as some of the earlier stories in the season.) technically I’ve only seen it once and it was a couple years ago, but I remember loving it as a Romana story, there were a lot of really interesting character bits for her!

song i associate with them: hmm I don’t really have one? my Romana playlist is specifically for Romana II in Big Finish so....yeah.

favorite picture of them: anything with her Ribos Operation outfit (with the full cloak), it’s iconic and beautiful! on a similar note, I love this Romana I art by @volucris-liga, it’s the first Romana fanart I ever reblogged and it’s so pretty!

more under the cut!

LEELA

favorite thing about them: her resilience and her kindness. Leela goes through so much grief and pain, she has her world upended again and again, she never really finds a place where she belongs. and yet she still keeps choosing to love, choosing to keep fighting for what she believes in, choosing to rebuild again and again. and sometimes it’s really hard and she doesn’t want to go on….but she does, and she finds moments of happiness again. and that strength is really powerful. and no matter how cruel the universe (and other people) are to her, she is still relentlessly kind - she listens, she protects, she wants to help, she cares. 

least favorite thing about them: I mean, the “savage” stereotype that her character references is a racist/anti-indigenous trope (especially the whole dynamic of the Doctor trying to “civilize” her ugh). and I hate that characters keep calling her “savage” (even when they’re the Bad Guys, it’s still bringing up this trope again and again, and it’s even worse when it’s the Good Guys). why are they still doing this.

brOTP: see all characters listed under otp, every relationship that I ship is also an incredibly important friendship in Leela’s life and I love all of them <33 as far as relationships that I see as entirely non-romantic….I really love the version of Leela and Ace’s relationship that exists in my head (and in fandom) - they didn’t get to interact enough in the audios, but I absolutely think they were really close, because of their shared experiences and the ways their personalities mesh. (I feel like I should also say the Doctor here, but tbh I don’t remember her TV stories that well, so I don’t really have a solid memory of what their relationship was like.) and of course, Leela’s parental relationship with Rayo is very important to me!

OTP: once again, ot3 my beloved <33 and Leela/Romana first and foremost (I already rambled about them here, so I’m just going to second everything I said earlier). 

and I also ship Leela/Narvin, although I’m not quite as invested in that pairing? (due to a combination of ‘Romana is my favorite character and so I’m just more interested in her relationships with other characters,’ ‘I joined the fandom when things were pretty much all Leela/Narvin all the time (I say with great respect and affection for the artists and writers putting out amazing content for that ship) so I was motivated to write fic primarily for R/L and N/R to balance out the ot3 content,’ ‘apparently I have a contrary streak with Gallifrey and the more the writers push a romantic interpretation of a relationship, the less interested I am in actually shipping it,’ and ‘I’m not really into Leela/Narvin as a pairing on its own - although I do love a lot of fic that portrays them that way bc it’s just very well-written.’) But just. how they form a grudging alliance for Romana’s sake and then develop genuine respect for each other and then build this really solid foundation of teamwork and fondness and care and really relax and feel comfortable around each other….the way they become ride-or-die for each other and just trust and love each other so much….it’s Very Good!! (And I did love writing scenes with the two of them in Call It Home - I might not focus on them, but I do genuinely love their relationship.) 

And of course Leela/Veega <33….I debated if they even interacted enough in the actual audios for me to consider it an otp, but I love the idea of their relationship and the story of them in my head so much?? going to link to this post because it really captures my feelings about them - they’ve both been through so much grief and pain by the time they meet, they’ve both lost people they love before, so the idea of them choosing to love each other and build something together against the odds is just. very powerful. plus I have a whole playlist for the family they’ve built together, which is a strong indication that I really love this ship. 😊

nOTP: Leela/Andred. last time I answered an ask meme about Leela, I had this complicated response about how I hated Leela/Andred when I watched Invasion of Time (bc it’s so abrupt and arbitrary), and then Louise Jameson’s voice acting Convinced Me To Care because oh she really did love him....alas i am a Leela/Andred detractor at heart, and I have been nudged back to my default state by re-listening….I simply hate how he treats Leela in Gallifrey.

random headcanon: I really like the idea of Leela being more politically involved in her own right after they all return from the Axis. She’s just spent a lot of time leading a group of people who don’t have a voice in the government, fighting for their rights against the established injustices of Gallifreyan society. I don’t think she’d easily slip back into only being Romana’s bodyguard after experiencing more political autonomy on the other Gallifrey. What exactly this looks like in practice I’m not sure about - in my one fic ‘verse, I wrote about her being more directly involved with the Academy as a political liaison and guest tutor, and also advocating to Romana for policies that would benefit those who live outside the city on their home Gallifrey. but there’s probably a lot of options to explore here!

unpopular opinion: hmm I don’t think this is necessarily unpopular but idk and I want to talk about it: even though Leela identifies so strongly as a warrior, a “happy ending” for her would, I think, need to involve getting away from fighting. too often she throws herself into a fight to try to avoid thinking about how much she’s hurting, and it doesn’t work, it doesn’t stop the pain. and in the Time War, she’s tied her identity so strongly to war (it’s inevitable, inescapable, and she will Fight and Defend because that’s all she has left). there’s a difference between “I am a warrior” and “all I am is a warrior,” and Leela’s slid too far into the second one, and she needs to untangle her own identity from war to heal. 

song i associate with them: Freedom by Karmina (it’s a song about going on defiantly in the face of heartbreak -  “Tearing my room apart, I’m starting over” / “Take my pride I can still survive I’ve got my freedom” / “Hunt me down you’ll never find me now that I’ve got my freedom”)

favorite picture of them: the first one that came to mind is this gorgeous art by @laurelhach (which I didn’t realize was based on a picture until I stumbled across the original picture and was like oh my god!! it looks exactly like the art!!)

[mrlove-loveme]

Hi~~~ I was thinking of requesting a scenario to the boys reaction when they get caught making out with MC please~~ thank u❤️💞💜💕🥰💖💗💝❣️💙💜

Hi there! 

First off, sorry for the delay. I had started but then had writer’s block ;-; (I knew exactly what I wanted for Victor and Lucien.. Kiro and Gavin were a bit harder) Also, this is the first time I’ve done headcanon requests! So I tried my best 😅

(I wrote half of this in December and today the rest, so the tone/style might seem a bit different)

LUCIEN

-MC went to Lucien’s lecture at university to listen in for an episode of Miracle Finder

-After the lecture had finished, and everyone left, MC stayed behind to ask Lucien some questions

-“Make sure to call me Professor Lucien,” he teases her, as he moves in closer to her

-MC turns her head away, completely flustered and cheeks flushed, “We can't… professor.. what if someone walks in,” she says shyly, playing along

-Lucien taken aback that MC obeying his teasing, and can no longer hold back, “Don’t worry, this was the last lecture of the day, no one is gonna come in,” he says as he leans in

-MC can feel Lucien’s body pressed against her’s, his breath on her face. She can no longer resist and surrender to Lucien’s desires

-Lips intertwined, desperate for one another

-But on the other side of the door, a student has returned; they had forgotten to turn in a late assignment

-She slowly opens the door to the sight of her beloved professor making out with a girl

-MC’s back is to her and did not notice someone open the door, but Lucien did

-He gave the girl a mischievous smile, as if boast, yet tell her “shhh this is our little secret”

-The girl, flustered, hurried out of there, complete shocked to see her professor like that. “God, I wish that were me,” she mumbled to herself

-Lucien on the other hand seem rather amused at the girl’s flusteredness, maybe he’ll do more daring makeout session

[Is  mischievous and doesn’t give a sh*t if he’s caught. Probably an exhibitionist.]

VICTOR

-MC was gonna meet up with Victor at his office to go over some things she was unsure of in her report

-When she arrived, she initially sat on the opposite side of victor, but victor request her to move to his side so he could show her properly

-But he was just being dishonest, he really just wanted to be closer to her

-“Overall the report is pretty well done, just some cosmetic changes. Good job,” he praised her

-MC was surprised by his sudden kindness, that she literally takes a step back

-“Where are you going?” Victor says pulling her closer by the waist until she tumbles onto his lap

-“I’m sorry,” she says flustered as she tries to get off his lap

-But he stops her, “I said: Where are you going?,” he repeats himself as he pulls her closer to him

-“Umm…off your lap?” She responds avoiding his eyes

-“Stay like this for a bit,” Victor replies as he lifts her chin to bring her lips onto his

-His kisses takes MC’s breath away and can no longer argue but give into his kiss

-At that moment, Goldman, who usually knocks is in a bit of a hurry and rushes into Victor’s office

-Victor opens his eyes and gives off the deadliest glare to Goldman; the aura behind him reads “Do you have a death wish?!?!”

-MC is so flustered that she can’t even turn around, she just hides into Victor’s chest

-Victor Growls “GET.OUT.”

-“Yes sir. Sorry sir.” Goldman rushes out having have felt his spirit leave his body

-Victor notices MC still hiding her face in his chest

-He sighs and kisses her on top of her head,“How about we continue this later,” he says as he caresses her face, lifting it so he can see her

-MC just nods her face still red

-He finds her embarrassment cute and flashes her a quick smile

[Gets pissy that he’s being interrupted and that you made MC feel embarrassed.. But let’s face it, he can stop time, he’d probably never get caught]

KIRO

-Kiro had gifted MC VIP tickets to his concert. MC was in complete aww seeing her favorite person perform

-After the concert ended, MC used her VIP pass to go congratulate Kiro on a successful show

-As soon as MC entered the door, Kiro lights up

- “How was it? Did you like it?!” he exclaims as he rushes out of his seat towards her

-His smile and excitement is so contagious!! 

-MC giggles, “Of course! I loved it!! You were amazing!!” 

-She moves in to hug him, but Kiro stops her; he says to her embarrassed “I’m smell, I work up quite the sweat during concerts,” he laughs it off

- “I don’t mind,” she moves in and hugs Kiro before he can stop her; MC breathes him in. In all honesty, she loves Kiro scent, sweaty or not

-Having given up refusing her, Kiro hugs her back

-With all the adrenaline pumping through him from the concert, he does something he normally wouldn’t do in his own dressing room

-Kiro releases her, only to pull her up for a kiss. At first just a peck, but the deep yet gentle. MC was surprised but follows the rhythm of Kiro’s lips

-In the moment, Kiro’s manager burst through the room

-Kiro looks up in shock and his manager drops the papers he had in hand

- “Whoopsie, should’ve locked the door,” Kiro says in a joking tone, rubbing the back of his neck

-MC is so embarrassed she’s hiding her face in her hands

- “Yea, you should have. You never know who’s gonna walk in, you just got lucky it was me this time.” his manager says in a stern voice as he picks up the paper from the floor. “Be ready to leave in 20,” he says as he leaves the room, locking it behind him

- “Haha sorry about that” he says awkwardly

- “Wait… does he know about us?” MC asks confused and still embarrassed

- “Yea… does that upset you?” he asks with puppy dog eyes

- “No.. but.. I’m surprised he’s okay with a superstar like you dating,” MC responds

- “I mean it’s not like he has a say right? He says as long as no one knows.. Especially the media, he’s okay,” Kiro explains

- “I see..” MC says a bit relieved

- Kiro smiles, grabs her by the waist and pulls her in close until there is no space between their bodies, “Enough about that, I still have 20 minutes. Shall we continue where we left off” 

- MC face bursts in red, but nods

[I don’t think he’d get too embarrassed, but I also think his reactions depends on who catches him]

GAVIN

-MC is in her office working relentlessly to finish a report for Victor. 

-Tired, she decides to take a break. Staring out the window, she begins to think of Gavin, wonder how he’s doing. He hasn’t returned her calls after having gone off on mission.

-She sighs at the thought, and suddenly she notices the wind pick up, and then Gavin appears!

-She rushes to open the window for him and he joins her in the office

- “You know you can you use the front door,” MC say teasingly

- “Yea, but this way is faster,” he smiles, “Sorry I haven’t returned your calls. I just finished with my mission and came straight here.”

- “You should have gone home to rest instead!” MC scolds him 

- “But I missed you, and wanted to see you immediately,” he says moving closer to MC, closing the space between

- “I missed you too,” MC says, her face flustered, looking at the floor

- Now there is almost no gap between their bodies, she can practically feel the warmth radiating from his body

-He caresses her face with his hand, it feels calloused and rough, yet warm and gentle

- “Can I kiss you?” he asks her, his ears completely red, his eyes yearning, as if he’s holding himself back

- How can she say no to that, MC goes on her tippy-toes to reach his lips, but he still has to bend down to reach her

-It was a soft and gentle kiss. He pulls away a little, hovering over her lips, “Again?” he asks

- “Mhmmm,” she replies

-This time the kiss is deeper and quickly becomes desperate

-Gavin lifts her and sits her on her desk, him between her legs, pressing body against each other

-In that moment of lust, MC has forgotten a certain employee’s bad habit

-Minor then suddenly bursts in saying in a sing-song voice, “Oh MC~”

-Gavin pulls away immediately from MC, seeing his high school buddy with his jaw dropped, he clears his throat and his face and ears are now redder than before 

- “Can I Join?”  “Why did no one invite me?” “Should I come back later?” he says covering his face with the paperwork he had brought for MC to sign

- “Yes. Please.” MC says in a “no-shit” tone, facepalming herself

-Minor is about to leave as Gavin threaten, “Please keep this to yourself or you’ll find yourself in handcuffs” 

- Minor considers this, thinks about hentai scenarios with Gavin. “Yes sir,” he hurries out of the office

-Gavin turns to MC, rubbing the back of his neck, looking away, “Sorry, I got carried away” 

- “Yea, me too,” she says disappointed

- “I’ll come over tonight, and we can continue if you want,” he says as he kisses the top of her head

- “Mmm okay,” she says happily. And as soon as the wind came, he is gone.

[Is embarrassed but tries to hide it. Will play the cop card to keep you quiet]

I’m on mobile and don’t know how to do a Read More thing so I apologize in advance! Here’s the post that y’all asked for!

•••

As more and more of us in the Friendom continue to reach out to Hulu, our chances of getting a renewal for our beloved show grow as well. There seems to be plenty of factors that will affect the outcome of our current efforts, and it’ll be a long wait until we hear anything regarding a final decision. But for now, let’s try to fast forward a bit:

After almost a year of waiting, corporate at both Hulu and Disney Channel have finally heard our voices. They have decided to renew Andi Mack for a fourth season to stream on Hulu. Both companies announce the news on their respective Twitter accounts, and news articles begin appearing across the Internet about this miraculous resurrection. Cast members take to Instagram with reunion photos captioned “Surprise!” and #themackisback starts trending on Twitter internationally. Those who have made their peace with the original series finale rejoice as the moment feels so surreal, and the entire Friendom overflows with joy. For a second, it all feels fuzzy and too good to be true. But that raises the question:

What Would Season 4 Even Be About?

•••

In this TED talk, I will be exploring a few of the things I feel would be interesting plot points and ideas for the show to cover. These are just ideas from all the emotions I’ve been feeling since the finale, but I hope that I’m able to communicate them properly and that you understand what I’m trying to say, lol. Here I go!

From a logical perspective, there are things we know that the fourth season will focus on:

- Andi’s time at SAVA

- Cyrus, Buffy (and possibly Jonah) starting at Grant without Andi

- Cyrus and Thelonious’ new relationship

- Buffy and Marty’s new relationship

•••

There are other things I want to see from the fourth season, and there’s just so much unexplored territory with these characters that it really is bittersweet knowing that these stories will never unfold on the small screen for us. One can hope, and we will still have fanfics written by those in the Friendom. However if we do get a fourth season, these are some things I personally would love to see.

- Andi developing a true sense of independence. Her whole life she’s had an tight-knit immediate support system through her friends and family, but now she’s going to a school where she doesn’t know anybody doing things none of her other friends and family have had experience in. She’s been surrounded by things familiar to her since second grade (or possibly before that) so seeing her grow into somebody separate from those things would be so amazing. She knows SAVA is where she belongs, and now she’s gotta prove it to herself.

- Andi-Cyrus development. We’ve gotten a lot of Andi-Buffy and Cyrus-Buffy moments, but the two definitely outweigh any development we’ve gotten from Andi and Cyrus. I mean, sure, they’re best friends! I know they love each other and are important to one another, but it still seems like some unexplored territory. I’m hoping they’re just as close as they are with the other seeing as they’ve known each other since the second grade. Though now that Andi is going to a different school, I don’t know how they would work that in.

- Buffy’s home life being explored. We’ve only ever met her mother a couple times, but her dad didn’t seem to be significant enough to her story for them to actually cast and write him into the series. There’s no doubt in my mind that her parents are insanely proud of her for her growth and accomplishments since the first season. However, it would be nice to see what kind of relationship she has with her dad.

- Cyrus finally coming out this parents. We were robbed of such a plot point because so many people, regardless of age or gender or race, have to deal with coming out to their families. As much love and acceptance as Cyrus deserves, I personally don’t want it to be one of those “we’ve always known, we still love you” kinds of coming out because those aren’t always the case. I think that when he does come out, I can imagine at least one of his family members not fully accepting of it. I’m not saying that Cyrus needs to be have a hard time coming out to his family, but in the long-run it would make sense. Also if Thelonious is already out to his parents, I’m hoping he helps Cyrus come out to his as well.

- We need more sibling relationships to be shown. As I’m writing this I’m noticing that a large chunk of the characters are only children? They’ve had a lot of different family structures represented but haven’t really focused on any sibling relationships. I think Cece and Mei, and Iris and her brother are the only siblings we’ve been given.

- Jonah getting the proper help he needs for his anxiety. I really don’t want them to forget about Jonah’s mental health, but it almost seems like they let it take a backseat to his family’s financial problems. Real anxiety doesn’t just go away, and seeing as Jonah’s only been dealing with it for roughly a couple of months, they wouldn’t just subside this quickly. Obviously I don’t want him to suffer attacks every day for the sake of him having them, but it does need to be fleshed out and handled a little better.

- Bex and Bowie making some new friends their age. Maybe other parents with kids at SAVA? Maybe Cyrus and Buffy’s parents? I understand it’s important to be involved in your child’s life, especially after secretly being her sister/non-existent dad for 13 years, but I can’t remember a time when either Bowie or Bex have mentioned any other friends their age. Other than M*randa and that lady that wanted to sue Bex (lmao) there haven’t been many other memorable young-adult interactions. They’ve been so focused on making up for lost time with Andi, making up for lost time with each other, and assuming their roles as parents that they haven’t really grown beyond their familial bonds. It would be nice to see how the act when they’re not in Responsible Parent Mode™.

- More character development for Amber. Now that the GHC (sans Andi) are going to Grant with her, she can be like their Big Sister Figure™ and help them adjust. We’d hopefully see her more often and get a look into what she’s like on a more day-to-day basis. See how she copes with her familial problems on the days they really upset her. Maybe even coming a bit more out of her shell and joining their school’s chess team.

- Thelonious fully coming to terms with his sexuality. I’m hoping, if he’s not already publicly out, that they develop his story of self-acceptance. Do his parents know? His grandparents? The other GHC? The way his sexuality storyline should be handled differently than they did Cyrus’ because everyone’s experience with their own sexuality is unique. I can’t think of how to word this properly, but TJ seems a lot more open and bold about it. He wants the world to know that he’s proud of who he is, because it’s true. Cyrus sought validation and security from others, only to find it in himself. TJ sought validation and security in himself, and found it in others. These two have such an amazing dynamic, and it would be amazing to explore TJ’s inner workings to the level that Cyrus’ have been.

- TJ and Cyrus being more than each other. I want them to branch out and grow into successful young people who value their own personal lives as individuals as much as they value the relationship they have together. Obviously Cyrus tries out for Grant’s drama club and TJ tries out for the school’s basketball team, but imagine their new interests! Cyrus on the debate team, TJ in the school’s orchestra, Cyrus on student council, TJ in a peer mediation group! The possibilities are endless.

•••

Those were some of the heavier things I thought would be likely/addressable in the show, but here’s some smaller, less thought-out ideas would still like to see:

- Walker also attends SAVA. I feel as though he’s at least a year older than the GHC (same age as Amber) and has been there a year before Andi.

- Marty possibly also being jealous of Buffy. Possibly as a result of Rachel being so jealous of Buffy. Not to the extent that it’s toxic, but just enough to create room for growth. A good way to address the cycle of jealousy. Plus Marty has no character flaws yet, soo.

- A social hierarchy at their new high school. Sure, Jefferson might have had one too with Christina or the boys’ basketball team, but high school hierarchies are very real. They’re both subtle and unspoken but also noticeable and in-place.

- All the Muffy and Tyrus hugs. Sadly leaving poor Jonah as the fifth wheel, lmao.

- Buffy, Jonah, TJ, and Cyrus are either suddenly too busy for one another or one realize they’re all growing apart. (Think of the dynamic between Shane and Mitchie in Camp Rock 2 lmao) High school does tend to separate people from one another, and peer groups shift all the time.

- Andi not cutting her hair short again. I’ve noticed that she cut her hair again somewhere around the beginning of Season 2 and again at the beginning of Season 3 maybe. Either it’s a personal choice for her, or the crew on the show wanted her to keep a consistent look (I’m going with the latter). I think that her hair growth could be a metaphor for her character growth, seeing as she’s branched out and not worried about keeping things the same anymore.

- Other groups of people being represented. Maybe we might get a Muslim character, a dark-skinned character, a non-binary or gender nonconforming character. While the show does have a way with tossing aside its background characters, it would still be great for them to be shown in the AM universe.

- The return of other background characters like Iris, Libby, Reed, pink backpack kid, Leo, etc.!

- Buffy continuing the trend of carrying Cyrus.

- Any other character questioning their sexuality, now that Cyrus (and by then, TJ) are out. We’ve all kinda headcanoned Amber to be lesbian, despite all the Jamber; Andi to be pansexual despite all the Jandi; Jonah to be bisexual, less and less as the show progressed; and Bex to be bisexual, though now that she’s married I don’t want anything to happen to Bexie.

- An episode or two focusing on racism. A little bit more real-life, internalized racism than the racial prejudice towards Buffy’s hair and the racial stereotypes Andi faced.

•••

There are so many possibilities that a fourth season could bring us! And with Hulu, they might have less restrictions than Disney Channel laid down. I know that we shouldn’t get our hopes up too much, but I felt as thought we should start discussing what a fourth season would even be like before asking for one without speculation. That’s all I have at the moment, but maybe as time progresses I’ll think of some other things that I’d like to see or remember some plot points they left open.

I hope that if we do get renewed that it will still feel like Andi Mack, and that the future content still possesses the same kind of energy it gave off so well. As of right now, for me, it’s still all a bit fuzzy. I can’t believe the show ended. We got what we wanted, and yet are still yearning for more. That’s when you know something is good material, when it keeps you hooked despite any and all of the curveballs it may throw.

Somewhere out there, Andi, and Buffy, and Cyrus, and Thelonious, and Marty, and Amber, and Bex, and Bowie, and Cece are all living their best lives. It was amazing to experience their stories alongside them.

♡ Andi Mack will live on in our hearts, Hulu or not ♡

Favourite Fics: It wasn’t even THAT good a kiss...

Since the amazing Good Omens miniseries came out, there has been a giant influx of fandom activity, and I thought, what better time than this to rec my absolute favourite fic?

Anthophilia by @fortinbrasftw is everything you could ever wish for from a human!AU and more. 

In my experience, when it comes to human!AUs, or fics tagged alternate universe - no powers/no magic/everyone’s human etc etc, there’s usually at least one other popular fandom trope that dictates the storyline - be it the ever-beloved coffeeshop au, the tattoo parlor/flower shop au, or any other wonderful thing you can think of. 

This fic not only combines everyone’s favourite headcanons about human!Crowley and human!Aziraphale, but also manages to pull off not one, but at least three popular tropes without ever feeling overburdened or chaotic. Concretely, we have: University AU, flower shop/book shop AU, and the ‘one night stand turns out to be your new neighbor’ AU. (Also, there is a bookshop cat.) 

The story goes like this: Crowley, ex-lawyer and proud owner of one of Londons most sought-after flower shops, has his life turned upside down and inside out when an old acquaintance from uni days rents the shop across the street from his. Aziraphale, who, last thing Crowley heard, was studying Theology with the intention to become a preist, doesn’t seem to remember him, which hurts more than Crowley will ever admit, because he was maybe sorta a little bit in love with him. Despite Aziraphale’s horrible memory, they get reacquainted, and bond over taking care of the cat Aziraphale took in after it was hit by a car in their street. Things get complicated though when Aziraphale reveals he actually did remember Crowley and has been lying to him all this time...and Crowley doesn’t even have the time to get properly mad, because he has flowers for Anathema’s wedding to do!

This is my all-time favourite fic in the Good Omens fandom not only because the story really is something else, but because the characterisations are so on point it’s almost painful. Aziraphale as the knowledgeable, unfashionable, emotional book shop owner who was just a bit too attached to earthly wiles to devote himself entirely to God; Crowley as the soft hearted, adrenalin junkie flower shop owner with a hard shell and a penchant for drama who failed as a lawyer because he just wanted to help people. It’s just...it’s perfect. It also plays well into the general agreement that Crowley may be a bastard on a grand scale, but on a day-to-day scale, Aziraphale is the ruthless one. Crowley spends years as a lawyer, actively ruining people’s lives, and can’t even summon enough scary to shoo Anathema out of his shop. Aziraphale lends out prized pieces from his private collection to desperate students, and sees absolutely no fault in lying to Crowley about how much he actually remembers about their involvement. 

What I also loved was the author’s style - sometimes elaborate, always focused on feelings, smells, and sounds. It paints a vivid picture of each scene, really transports you to the book shop, a restaurant, Crowley’s gardens in the country. It kind of makes me feel nostalgia for things I’ve never experienced, fernweh for places I’ve never even seen on pictures. It’s wonderful. 

The whole fic is wonderful. And if you’re a person who recently got into the fandom, or if you’re just in the mood for a nice AU, I heartily recommend it.

[ rome flynn, cis male, he/him ] STERLING PALMER, MD is a TWENTY-EIGHT year old 3RD YEAR RESIDENT. he is originally from NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA and has been living in los angeles for TEN YEARS. he can be a little EGOTISTICAL, but at least he is COMPASSIONATE. when i think of him, i think of the heavy feeling in your eyes when you stay up late to study, that resigning feeling of re-downloading tinder after a bad date, and cheesy pick up lines. 

background 

born in nola, where he grew up in a middle class family. both his parents are chefs, and together they co-own a restaurant in the city. that was his “part time job” growing up — not that he was getting paid for it. he was just expected to help out 

the nickname silver had been coined by his uncle. his uncle was only 8 years his junior, so they were always very close. when he was a toddler, uncle b would call him sterling silver. it was meant to be a sports nickname — any time sterling would play with his mini toy basketball, his uncle was there to narrate “there goes sterling silver, racing down the court, he goes for the lay-up...WHOOSH!! STERLING SILVER HITS IT AGAIN!” anyway, from there it got shortened to just silver. his mom and dad picked up on it, his older sisters, his younger sisters, and by the time he started kindergarten he was introducing himself as silver. 

his older sisters were in high school when greys anatomy started and it. was. their. favorite. show. every thursday night, the tv was theirs, no questions asked. it was the unspoken rule in the palmer house. silver chose not to fight it to avoid getting scratched — girls were ruthless. instead, he’d sit down in the living room and watch with them. he’d never admit that he kind of enjoyed it. no...he really enjoyed it. 

fast forward to eighteen, a senior in high school. he was a golden boy. everyone at school knew him, and loved him. he was co-captain of the varsity basketball team. he had a girlfriend who was just as beloved, and his parents loved her too. he got mostly good grades ( save for the C in world history, because he always ditched to go make out with cara ). but his favorite subject, by far, were the sciences. biology, chemistry, even psych. he loved them and he excelled in them — so when he graduated high school he knew exactly where the next four years would take him, and the next four years after that. 

despite some buzz of recruitment, he decided not to pursue spots in college, knowing fully well it would take up most of his time and he didn’t have the bandwidth to spend four years playing basketball with no intention of going to the nba. he graduated high school and went to USC, university of southern california, where he attended the next four years with a biology major, which put him on the pre-med track to medical school. 

college was...no different than high school. half way through his freshman year he broke up with cara, his high school sweetheart, who was attending alabama university, because “he had to focus on studying” which was quite obviously bullshit. he rushed and became a member of TKE and went to parties thursday-sunday. his gpa suffered his freshman year, but he got his act together after that. 

he had one girlfriend during his four years of college, a year and a half long relationship from his junior into his senior year. while he’d thought he was in love with cara, this felt like the real deal. after all, he was twenty, he was older, people met their soulmates in college...didn’t they? maybe this was it. 

it wasn’t. beverly had cheated on him with his frat brother who had sworn he was too drunk to realize who it was. a bullshit answer and excuse that he had accepted, but he found himself pretty heartbroken? which he wasn’t used to...he was supposed to be the heartbreaker!! 

he became one of those undergrad usc students who did their grad school at ucla. trojan to bruin baby!! after getting into ucla’s med school, he decided to focus on solely school. no distractions, no girlfriends...so four years of studying and a couple tinder flings later, he graduated med school with top grades and an offer for an internship at the ronald reagan ucla medical center in santa monica, california. 

he is now in his third year of residency with a focus on pediatrics, where he found himself excelling in. he’s a bit of a workaholic, but still manages to find time for a social life. the dating pool is limited when you work at a hospital, seeing as those are pretty much the only people you spend your time with the first few years, and silver learned his lesson after dating another resident (working in close quarters with your ex is not fun). he doesn’t have that much time for meeting people outside of work though...which is how he ended up resigning himself to online dating. it’s quick, it’s easy, it’s convenient, and 9/10 it results in a hookup that leads to nothing. a win win, in his eyes! 

also, his younger sister aaliyah moved out to los angeles a few years back with her daughter. she’s a single mom, so silver always helps out where he can, and he’s grown really close to his niece. he’s basically like a second parent to her! she’s 6 now, and they’re super tight. 

personality/headcanons 

silver is a virgo sun, capricorn moon, so he’s extremely organized and ambitious. he has clear goals that he sets for himself, and he does whatever he needs to do to achieve those goals. 

he’ll put his work over his relationship any day, which is part of a reason many of his relationships haven’t worked out

doesn’t really tell his dates what he does, because he finds that as soon as he says he’s a peds doctor they swoon and that’s not what he needs rn!! 

all of that being said, he’s not really a stickler. outside of work, with the amount he likes to drink and party, you probably wouldn’t guess he’s a doctor! he’s pretty funny but he has a sort of dry sense of humor (very capricornesque, if u know what i’m saying)

very smart, but a dumbass. iykyk

can be an asshole and can be a sweetheart. it honestly depends. 

9/10 times he isn’t looking for a relationship and if he sees it heading that way, he’ll call it quits. it’s mostly a defense mechanism, he’d rather end it before he feels too seriously, because heartbreak? was not very fun for him

champion @ true american...he always gets the drunkest 

he comes from a family of chefs!! cooking comes naturally to him. makes the best black bean soup

he surfs on the weekends but he sucks at it

always has lollipops on him thanks to being in peds. like he will whip out a lollipop from some pocket at any point if he doesn’t know what to do in a situation. hes just like.....sucker? 

wanted connections

best friend/ride or die

college friends?! if they went to usc undergrad or ucla grad school

going off the above ^ frat bros. BROS FOR LIFE. you know i’m a sucker for a good bromance

like a nick miller/cece type situation....they tolerate each other because of mutual friends but if they’re alone together there’s nothing to talk about KJSGH

ex? or almost ex? shoulda coulda woulda? good terms? bad terms? we love to see it

current hook up

i love a good enemies plot but there needs to be a reason...so if we can come up w something spicy let’s mf do it

weekend surfing buddy, or basketball buddy

that’s all i can think of but i’m open to anything tbh

Who lives and who dies (Arrow season 6 prediction)

After the shocking season finale, we’re all wondering who survived the destruction of Lian Yu, right? Well, I’ve been gathering my thoughts about that on the last day and came to the following conclusion.

Guaranteed survivors:

For what has been said in the last few weeks, it’s ok to say that Rene, Dinah, and Earth-2 Laurel are alive because all corresponding actors have been appointed for next season. They won’t kill the core characters of the show so that means that Diggle and Felicity are safe. The producers once said that they’d never kill Thea, so based on that, I have the confidence to say that she’s alive and well, too.

Possible deceased:

Of all the rest of the characters, I think Curtis is the least likely to die (to @nalla-madness‘s dismay. Sorry dearie LOL), but I haven’t heard anything about Echo been picked up for season 6, so I can’t be sure. Buuuuut... I don’t think Mr. Terrific hero’s journey is over, so that gives life to Curtis. I’d be very upset if they let Paul Blackthorne go, for so many reasons, but I think he might be safe too. I think there are plenty things to work with and continue Quentin’s arc (like dealing with BS, he’s the paternal figure for most of the characters, he’s part of the mayoral support team), which means that his survival chances are good. Although, this is Arrow we’re talking about and we know they love to kill our favorites.

I’d love if Nyssa survived too. She’s badass and it’s always a delight to have Katrina on the show. However, her chances to be alive might be not that good. If she’s dead, the writers would have the easiest way out for the whole awful marriage mess they made. With her dying, Oliver becomes a widower and he can marry with Felicity without problems. I hope the writers don’t go this way and figure out another way to divorce them.The thing in her favor is that she’s one of the few (without mentioning beloved) LGBT characters in the CW/DCtv universe, so killing her will arouse quite an indignation among the viewers. That might be her saving card.

Another one who I don’t want to die is Slade, but the chances are even worse for him. I’d love to see him get out the island alive and finding his son, meanwhile that gives the slight possibility of seeing him again in the future, but --there’s always a but-- I have this horrible headcanon where he saves everyone (maybe taking them to a bunker --A theory that I like and it’s going around--) but he is injured in the process. Oliver comes and finds him dying. Slade asks him to take care of his Joe before exhaling his last breath. If the writers do this I’m gonna cry my eyes out!! Horrible and sad, but it’s a way to give him redemption, at the same time that they’re cutting the possibility of him coming back. *begs under my breath* please please DON’T do this.

Samantha... if it is for her alone, she can die all she want, but thinking in the poor William that had been through so much, it’d be so awful if he loses his mother. Poor child, he’s been traumatized for a lifetime already. There’s no need to add something more. Besides, if she dies, Oliver taking care of his son full time complicates things wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much and fanboys would start complaining about it.

The ones I truly don’t care if they live or die are Evelyn and Talia. Of those 2, Talia might have an escape plan, bc I’m sure that she and her students were the ones who rigged the island by Adrian’s orders, so she probably had her way out for the worst case scenario. She’s an al Ghul after all.Evelyn, hmm, unless Talia or BS rescued her, she’s doomed.

And believe or not, if Merlyn somehow survived the landmine explosion (as many of us has been wondering), he was off the island way before it exploded (Marc G needs to confirm or deny us this)

So there you go. Those are my arguments for each character to be alive or dead. I think we might know much earlier than October to know who survived. They won’t be able to keep the secret for 5 whole months.

developing characters is hard

so i realise i still have a jillion unanswered questions in my inbox and like, i’ll get to them, but first i wanted to get some thoughts down on some stuff that’s been on my mind lately. i can’t guarantee they’ll be very coherent? but i wanna at least put it into words to help get it straight in my own head and also like, make it known that this is stuff i’m taking into consideration

this is about my (questionably successful) attempts in creating a racially diverse cast

okay so first like: this shit’s hard and it doesn’t really help that I’m White and also that i initially went about it in kind of a backwards way. i feel like a lot of my faults in this regard have been due to me trying to tack cultural backgrounds onto a stupidly large cast of already existing characters in kind of a hurry

lemme elaborate on my process. so i have a group of 30-odd weird alien kids, right? they already had names and personalities which with a bit (a lot) of tweaking could probably come out resembling a group of 30-odd weird adult wizards. now i was eager to get started with the starlight rp, so i didn’t really leave myself a whole lot of time to flesh out these fleshy human versions of my beloved fantrolls. i had plot shit and game mechanics shit to work out too (and they weren’t exactly a flawless work of art, either). my brain was kind of on overdrive

you’d think it’d be easy to figure out human headcanons for your own characters but honestly, a lot of the decisions i made were pretty arbitrary. some of them i already had pretty clear mental images for but most of them i really didn’t

so, for a lot of them i started with the name. i wanted to avoid the entire cast being all Whitey McWhitename but i also wanted them to be more or less recognisable as their original troll counterparts. and like, this might have been okay if i wasn’t rushing it, but i was rushing it, and so i ended up with a fair few a) inaccuracies and b) token-ish kind of racial identities, and it was all sort of a mess

i’ve changed a few names already. vered is ezra. hari is rani. luka and marie both have two surnames as per mexican naming conventions. etc etc. there’s still a lot of shit i gotta work through, though. here’s some of it

* as i understand it now, using magic is generally considered a pretty big no-no in islam. this discovery affected two of my characters: thana (torcht, the librarian) and banu (formerly professor avci). banu is the bigger issue since she is an active user of magic, so my first thought was to just make her a non-muslim and leave it at that, even though she’s from turkey which has a muslim majority population, but this feels like kind of a lazy solution. i’m also considering making her indian rather than turkish, since somehow there is only one indian character?? so that change could kill two birds with one stone, i guess. now that i’ve said it i’m kind of leaning towards that

thana is probably safer, i think. hopefully. having her being totally hands-off regarding magic feels totally compliant with how she’s already been handled in canon, at least. kinda sucks that she’s also the Only Muslim by necessity, but it at least feels like something i can work with and expand on during the story

* aarluk (formerly yakone) is a character i’ve wrestled with a bunch. i imagined him as inuit (at least, partially) from the get-go since it seemed like a logical transition from his old fantroll self. i wasn’t really aware at the time of the history regarding indigenous people and boarding schools (i.e. native kids being sent to government schools for assimilation purposes). and like, starlight academy isn’t a boarding school per se, it’s a university, but the idea of a native kid staying abroad at school for three years wasn’t really sitting right with me

i don’t know how much of the “boarding school” vibe actually translated? like, obviously most universities have dorms that students can stay at, so it’s possible that i’m exaggerating the problem. regardless, aarluk for the time being is half-inuit. he will be living with relatives nearby rather than at the dorms. i hope this will alleviate the major potential points of discomfort

* my other asian students are kind of all over the place at the moment. taeko and lily are japanese, celeste (who wasn’t even in the original rp) is chinese, mandy is korean, rhiannon is vietnamese, boy howdy it all feels very hollow and token-y. if i were going to change any of them i’d probably make rhiannon chinese; her surname is easily translatable and personality-wise she’s a good contrast to celeste. not sure yet if i’ll keep mandy as-is

it also kinda bothers me that most of them have western names, lol. i shamefully don’t really have much figured about their backgrounds (particularly for mandy and rhiannon) so this is something i could easily fix later down the line when i have more shit nailed down

* the group of third-years feels like, super white. only banu and mandy are definitely Not White. i don’t know if anyone’s really gonna look at the third-years in isolation but it’s still kinda tempting to change one or two of them

* maybe more jewish characters too? ezra and prof neuman are the only ones i have right now. maybe i could make one of the whiter characters jewish as well. i’m not sure yet

* i also just, gotta remind myself that trying to represent Everyone is completely unreasonable even with a cast of like 40 characters. i should be focusing more on fleshing them out and making them feel real rather than filling my Diversity Checklist(tm)

god why do i have like 40 characters. why am i doing this

is anyone still reading this?? i doubt it but hey thanks for reading. if you’re in a position to give me feedback about any of this stuff (or on anything i haven’t covered/haven’t thought of? that sticks out to you) i’d appreciate it lots. i’m trying my best but i still have a lot of work to do.
