[monty-glasses-roxy]

Actually, you know what? The part about Roxy being a part of the MXES and not the main network, thus being free from the Digital Mimic's control would be one hell of a situation platonically, never mind in a Jurassic Bark AU. Like shit man how is she supposed to handle the two loves of her life acting like completely different people against their wills?

📝 🧾 🎇 ♨️ and 🔒!!! -@hearts-and-stars

@hearts-and-stars thank u! 💚💜💚💜

🧾 What’s your favorite headcanon someone else has made about your F/O?

becoming a Nobody affects ur magic. Axel got a major power spike in fire magic, he can control fire with a level of precision that no one else can match, BUT he can't use any other kind of magic at all. no cures, no thunder, nothing. this is still the case after he's recompleted and is Lea again

🎇 Which is the most CURSED crack selfship you’ve thought of?

oh god

space/good mental health

bruh i rly don't know here. not rly a crack ship person bc i make too much lore and now it's not crack anymore

♨️Did your platonic F/Os tease you about your feelings for your romantic F/O?

see, the issue here is that my kh friends knew Lea before me. I'm a background character and he's an antagonist/weird ally. the reverse is very true though. lea gets teased about having a type bc I'm like a friendlier isa

🔒 What does your platonic F/O think about your F/O? Are they overprotective of you?

they're overprotective of both of us bc we pretty much share a friend group. sea salt fam started more overprotective of lea bc they knew him longer but it doesn't really take long for me to get adopted in. granted it's a little weird having kids 24 10 years younger than you be overprotective but also those kids could fight gods and win so u just accept it. life is already so goddamn weird

📝 Give us a piece of a WIP involving your F/O (writing, art, etc.)

under the cut so this doesnt get super long

partial nudity warning and also top surgery scars if that bothers anyone

rip this wip from february that i was rly excited about and then burned out on

Curtwen Week Day 2: Chimera

[starkissedandunburned]

another trans thought i have rattling around re: i saw the tv glow is what owen says after running away from maddie on the football field about how he spent days waiting for her to come back to force him underground and admitting that sometimes he wonders if she was right before halfheartedly telling himself it's just fantasy.

that to me, along with owen's word choice of waiting around for days after for maddie "to force me underground" instead of "to try to force me underground" implies that if maddie came back and said again "come with me," he'd go.

and i think that speaks to one of the most daunting parts of the trans experience: it has to be you. no one is going to break into your house to drag you kicking and screaming into coming out. your cool older friend can't dictate your experiences--they can only tell you theirs. others can smile and encourage you, but you've got to be the one to choose the magic dress. and that's hard. but it's so much better than being wrapped up in the fun center vest

[andtheyreonfire]

i'm tired and can't word properly rn but i love that g/t shit that deals with the fear of being left behind. when one party grows or shrinks or even just changes and suddenly ya'll don't get along the way you used to. are you too small for them to hear your voice? is it the opposite? because suddenly they're hanging out with people so much bigger than you, or busy with things too fragile for you to handle. because there might be work or school or an age difference or a personality change or just the sudden embarrassment and realization of how different your sizes have become.

and maybe you move on, both going your separate ways without anything big, ironically. maybe you try to cling to what you had, sneaking into their bag for a day or grabbing them like a toy and forcing them to stay. and maybe things break, the encroachment on privacy and agency too much for both of you--or maybe, things work out. not by clinging to the past, not at all, but by accepting these differences. because one party is big enough to literally curl up over the other's heart, solidifying their place, there. not moving on but moving forward, together, changed and becoming whole. because that's what it's all about. or maybe ya'll just find it funny that one party can shove the other into a pringles can with zero resistance at any point in time. there's a lotta possibilityes

johnny rook is so so fascinating. istg if he’s actually descended from english shadowhunters it’s going to be the fairchilds, whether that’s matthew or not. the fairy symbolism is popping. with johnny’s sus-ness and all, im also considering how kit is able to shoot that gun— either it’s because of his fae blood, because of the first heir stuff, or because of something in johnny’s line. and johnny hides his eyes— what’re the chances of a fairchild having a kid who never got rune-d, and had a kid like tessa, who had johnny?

Tried to do some perspective shit, idk if it worked. Like it always starts out looking fine but then the further along in the process I go it just vanishes, y’know what I mean? Anyways yeah I’m thinking about DE with her hair down, based off that one concept art from the crk art book where she’s got her bad 4 outfit on. I’d love to know how y’all think it would look in its natural state though, like I’m genuinely curious

day 11 of endhawks returns: electric boogaloo:

from hawks being a groomed spy who, if not well-versed in murder, is at least well-prepared for it, to endeavor's abusiveness and creation of quirk babies, these characters could have had straightforward downfalls to serve showing the dark side to hero society. hell knows that a bajillion super hero stories have supposed "good guys" in the public eye who actually uphold corrupt systems or have self-serving agendas, and these types of characters often serve as anti-examples---people not meant to be identified with and for whom the audience is usually meant to feel some schadenfreude when they fail. of course, mha doesn't do this, instead telling the story of what it takes for someone who made a wrong decision at one turn, or even someone who's been on the wrong path for nearly all of their life, to walk it all the way back. a different story might have dwelled on "bad heroes", or "phony" heroes---and mha skims this idea, but mostly turns it around in the cases of hawks and endeavor. it implies that, perhaps ironically, these characters' efforts to address the harms they've inflicted---to undo the most unheroic aspects about them---constitute the most heroic act they could take on.

"but how does hawks address killing twice?" unfortunately mha is equal parts an unwieldy story as it is an intentional one, and for every heart-on-its-sleeve piece of closure it gives, there's a loose end that it doesn't tie up outright. a lot of this allows for ambiguity and invites fans to speculate and fill in the gaps, and i'm under the impression that is intentional, though it leaves some things to be desired. long story short, hawks's thought process on killing jin is a whole roller coaster of a mess (too lazy to summarize so here's the evidence:)

week-to-week time crunch pressure, the way that being a mangaka erodes the mind and body, genuine lapses of judgment, etc. aside (again, all doylist factors), in-universe i enjoy the exercise of connecting the scattered dots of what's already there in canon (and inevitably, all roads lead to endhawks), so let's get into it! when enji urges himself to go back to his origin, he confronts the weakness and the monster within, but also his *why*---why he did what he did, why he's going to do what he's going to do. when hawks confronts his origin, he also confronts his why:

there's a throughline in this scene (besides the obviously stated one) between killing jin and standing by endeavor despite the truth of what kind of man he was. hawks wanted to save twice, but utterly failed---in fact, did the opposite of what that little kid holding the endeavor plushie would have chosen to do. his regret and remarks of how jin was a good guy are not narratively enough imo, and that this doesn't get much further development is uncharacteristic and a bit of a shame---but i would argue that, in the very least, his decision to double down on hero work, helping izuku, and standing by endeavor are actually indirect ways of addressing twice's death. endeavor is the one who made hawks want to save people, and staying by his side is almost a reclamation of that fact. he doomed jin rather than saved him, but at least he can save others. (flavor-wise, it understandably might feel sour to some fans that hawks's thought process here doesn't dwell on the villains he spent time amongst, particularly the fact that the LOV were the friends at the core of twice's heart and are what drove him to act. i also 100% agree with those hoping hawks would have saved toga to bring the twice/saving people/redemption thing full circle, and i do think that would have created the far better story.) there isn't nearly as much as a lot of us would like to work with in-story, but at the same time, the stuff that is there is still nuanced and fun to analyze (and gay, as usual, somehow).

circling it back to fallen heroes (geez, remember when that was the topic of this post? neither do i, apparently!), a ton of other superhero stories also tend to have the morally gray "bad hero" character clash with the pure-hearted protagonist, usually to be persuaded back to the side of good or to be soundly defeated. this is what happens in-story between nagant and deku, for instance. but interestingly, while hawks and endeavor do interact with deku significantly, they don't gain their motivation from him. instead, they largely seem to turn to each other, though a lot of that is left unstated/up to interpretation. and though the support they receive from the other most important figures in their lives--tokoyami and the todofam--are what end up defining the very end of the war, they are far less comfortable getting help from people who aren't each other. being the maladaptive loners they are, both hawks and endeavor have to be pursued into receiving this support, and try to push these other people away (not without good reason, to be fair), even giving similar reactions of dismay (and receiving similar reprimands):

(they never have this issue with each other, though. for some reason. 🤔)

so in short, in a story that redefines herodom over and over again through every character---such as following your passions á la hatsume, or finding your confidence like yaoyorozu---it also redefines herodom through the very characters who have, at one time or another, failed to achieve it. and said characters, turning to each other implicitly or explicitly, help each other find what it means to be a hero again.

Yeah I cant draw armarouge:( but we still have one half of team hotshot at least

[buttercup-barf]

Doodled an interaction between Ronna and a Character.AI bot. Fun stuff! Making her a bartender and a comedian in this scenario prrrrobably has some. Less-than-fortunate implications for my creativity, but I promise I wasn't thinking about That Guy when I thought of it.

"I actually think Little nest egg is a awesome ending from a story telling standpoint"

"It’s not very “final”, since the only damage caused plot wise is the toppats losing the money cart, something we know they can get by without and mostly everyone is still alive and useable!!! (RIP Macbeth tho, rest on dirty train rails)"

"And it takes place after Relentless bounty Hunter so you already have a base with reg being in jail, which could spark the toppats to wanna save him"

"Also bonus points: RHM is still alive at the end of it!!!!!!"

"He can save reggie!!!!!! <3"

"Wholesome reunion!!!!"

once again thinkin bout the thing of kurt being very chill about flings & one-night-stands but like. in regards to himself only being comfortable with thought of such with people that he. knows beyond a name. this is slightly diminished in cases of the other also not being human-passing (or passing but not being of earth), because the want for familiarity is very much tied to a fear of being seen as just an exotic novelty to add as a conversation piece with other non-mutants. he's long grown past accepting being seen as a sideshow attraction. really if given the choice he far prefers a friendship with benefits (even if the "benefit" happens only once) as opposed to a flat-out one-night-stand where he's unlikely to hear from the other ever again, & would prefer to start as friends even when the attraction is clearly mutual from the start. he needs to know to his bones he's desired beyond the "freak" factor.
