#literally a gentle giant

[cookinary]

It’s about time!

I finally did Muta’s redesign!

And I realized I’ve never shared his full backstory so here it is, under the cut, it’s pretty long XD:

In this universe, Ophelia not only is the Internet Dictator but she also is a mad scientist who developed a mutagen formula that works on humans

And she needed a test subject

Guess who

So whenever Ophelia wants to experiment on him, she sedates him in any way that works, it can be darts, drugs in his coffee, you name it

And when he wakes up, Pedro (Imma call him Muta okay, bear with me) has to live with whatever she did to him while he was out cold

She gave him an electric collar that acts as a tracker: if he tries to remove it, it zaps him; if he leaves a certain perimeter, it zaps him strongly enough to knock him out

Only Ophelia can remove the collar and she only removes it during her experiments

Muta is not allowed to leave the house except when the family sends him on a hit

The window of his room has electrified bars 

He wags his tail when he's excited

And starts hissing when he gets too upset

Because he can't go outside, he picked up painting as a mean to calm down/let his feelings out

He also has a diary

Escape

Because Ophelia always uses the same anaesthetic, Muta's body had built up a resistance to it

So he woke up in the middle of an experiment before Ophelia could do anything

He broke his restraints and attacked her

She defended herself by stabbing him with a scalpel right over his ear

That made Muta go completely feral and he caused mayhem in the lab before escaping and passing out somewhere far away

After the escape

He woke up freaking out because of the memory loss, the mutations and the talking banana that just popped out of nowhere (he knew Pedro before all this, he just forgot about it)

Because he forgot everything, he rediscovers his mutations little by little

Blurry memories slowly came back to him over the course of the years, through flashbacks and nightmares

After remembering almost everything that happened, he decided to go on a revenge rampage —hence the game

Post game stuff

After killing Ophelia and the banana, Muta decides to leak all of her experiments logs online to show the world her real side

He doesn't leak her works though, as he is afraid that some people will use the mutagen formula for evil

In fact, he destroys the lab and the formula

But he secretly keeps one physical copy of the formula that he never talks about

Soon, pretty much the whole world knows about Ophelia's awful experiments on her own brother

Rumors start circulating about how said brother may have been the one who killed her and the rest of the family and leaked the logs

His favorite drink to relax is red fruits tea

After his escape, he still likes to paint, it helps him calm down (especially Bob Ross tutorials), but he also picked up cooking as a hobby

He posts pictures of his art and his dishes online without ever showing his body, and people keep begging him for a face reveal

He has a black sphynx cat!

He named her Josephine

He sometimes posts pictures of her too and people love her

Has an amazing singing voice???

He lives off assassination jobs

His therapist knows about him

Also the vets from the time where Josephine got hurt and he rushed to the vet clinic without thinking of covering himself up

And finally, the list of his powers/abilities:

Reptile-like eye (Night vision)

Retractable claws (his hands are much bigger than normal)

Prehensile tail (reptilian in appearance)

Focus

Gills (can breathe underwater) (located on his neck, but only appear when submerged)

Can regrow limbs/body parts like lizards/axolotls do, in minutes

Retractable bug wings (similar to a dragonfly's)

Thick bulletproof scales on his back

Hearing as good as a barn owl, if not better (tilts head when locating a sound)

Strong sense of smell (can smell blood like sharks)

Venomous fangs (Inland Taipan venom)

Forked tongue (like a snake's)

Extremely fast

Panther-like feet (he can walk around silently)

Extremely strong (can lift about 2 tons)

Thick bulletproof scales on forearms (similar to the one on his back)

Can stick to/crawl on any surfaces (walls, ceilings, etc.) like geckos

Immune to any type of toxic substance

Can stay upside down for an undefined period of time (like bats)

Second pair of eyelids to see underwater

Can regulate his body temperature

Woo, this boi has a very detailled backstory, huh

They mean the world to me fr

[fromtheseventhhell]

"Sansa = Ned 2.0 and Arya = Catelyn 2.0" is one of those takes where you can just tell people are more attached to the aesthetic than anything. "The Stark girls are most like the parent they look least like" sounds good on paper and people run with the idea, regardless of how it actually fits into the story. A majority of the justification relies on misinterpreting all of their characters + a healthy dose of fanon. What gets me is that this is the same fandom that insists that Lyanna, only compared to Arya in the text, is equal parts Arya and Sansa but Ned and Catelyn, two fully fleshed-out and complex characters, have to be more like one girl or the other? There's just nothing in the story to justify being so adamant about these comparisons. Arya and Sansa have parallels with both of their parents but at the end of the day, they are unique characters with their own stories. I'll never understand why people want to flatten these complex characters down to their most basic tropes and fit them into restrictive boxes just for a "poetical~" comparison.

mind-blowing realization that bangtan (read: namjoon) has slowly but surely made spring my favorite season

[thekats]

The beauty of emotional disregulation combined with a consuming weakness for pointedly balanced fictional gentle giants is that I can look at whatever canon content there may be of the absolute chonkiest of could-snap-you-like-a-twig beasts being more tender than seitan chicken strips and almost implode on an internal "he is sO GENTLE! "

[mellotronmkll]

I really hate working from home e because of how isolating it is and that's a huge reason among many why I need to quit my job and get a new one asap BUT I will say it's great to be able to just rock and such like crazy to my music all day without anyone seeing me

[that-turtwig-guy]

It's so hard to be mad at him...

[welcome-to-the-districts]

Lashane GB Headcanons

Lashane’s rendition of Greaseball has been giving me some serious brainrot. Includes some x reader headcanons. Headcanons under the cut.

His real name is Gerald. He’s one of the many children of the original Greaseball. He’s the only one that has a normal name. The others are named Greaseball Jr, except for the newest member of the family, Gasket, the first girl of the family. This makes him the second youngest.

He’s literally the nicest one of the family. He’s incredibly gentle and laid back.

Can 100% be trusted to keep you and your things safe. He's very observant and will be quick to pick up on anyone that may pose a threat or if the one he is protecting is uncomfortable. He's the one guy friend you can trust in general.

Is very accommodating to those who are neurodivergent. He doesn't mind anyone stimming around him. He will go as far as allow you to even fidget with his pendant around his neck.

He probably has the deepest roar and purr of all the different Greaseball's. The roar makes him all the more intimidating, but the purrs make him that much more lovable.

His purring is definitely relaxing to listen to. He knows this and tends to purr to calm others down and to show he's not a threat.

He will 100% cry if he scared someone, especially a human. He will literally hide and cry in a corner. He really doesn't mean any harm. He knows he's intimidating because his large size and sharp teeth.

He gives the very gentle yet firm bear hugs. Speaking of which, he's extremely gentle with humans in general. He's always afraid of hurting them on accident.

X Reader Headcanons:

He's literally just a big teddy bear. All he wants is to snuggle with you and make sure you're treated right.

Very clingy when cuddling. Will whine every single time you have to get up and do something.

If you're overwhelmed, he will quickly take you out of the situation so you can have some time to relax. He will make sure you get what you need. You need snack? He's on it. Need cuddles? Done. Just say the word, or even find another of communicating if you're nonverbal. He don't mind it at all.

Can and will let you stim or use the metal scales, or metal plating on his body as a means of sensory. Those plates or scales are so smooth to where they almost feel soft. They're satisfying to gently run your nails across them. He doesn't mind it one bit.

Can and will carry you ever chance he gets.

He definitely would come home to bring you gifts and of course give you a little shower of butterfly kisses.

If you're tired after coming back from work, you bet he would take over the duties for the rest of the day, and maybe into tomorrow. Anything that needs done will get done by him.

[killuaisaprincess]

Chrysanthemum

Killua opens his eyes slowly, their dewdrop color glazed over, trying to get rid of the fuzz and blobs of brown.

He sits up, panting, flapping his wings once.

The pain shoots right down his spine, and he gasps. No…
