#nothing wrong with that headcanon

[lollytea]

I don't think Willow and Hunter start dating immediately after the events of W&D. They know they're something and they're both open to exploring that when they're ready. But they also agree that it would be in their best interest to adjust to their new normal and do some soul searching before they make themselves an official item. They don't consider themselves dating but they don't consider themselves single either. And the way the two of them approach their feelings for each other in this murky limbo state is vastly different for both of them.

Like if somebody asks Willow if she's in love with Hunter, it's like

Willow: Am I in-...? Well, it's...complicated. It's a very complicated situation we're in and I don't want to make any bold decisions right away. Do I love him as a friend? Of course I do. Am I physically attracted to him? Yes, but hormones don't mean love. Am I also emotionally attracted to him? Yes, but a crush isn't love. Do all of these things at once equate to being in love? Well, that seems like the kind of question that would keep a very nervous very scared person lying awake all night. Good thing that's not me, haha. It's not like I'm scared to be in love and I'm subconsciously avoiding confronting the fact that I am. I just believe in staying rational and analyzing your emotions so you don't get too reckless and dive into things without thinking. You'll hurt yourself. I've heard that's it's really easy to hurt yourself when you're in love. You see it's...we...Hunter and I met at a really crazy time, when I was just starting to become the witch I want to be. And then everything got so much crazier and we were confused and scared and it was hard to think about who you wanted to be when you weren't where you wanted to be. So now we're home. And finally, we have the chance to figure ourselves out. And that's exactly what we're gonna do. I want to be with him...eventually. When we're ready. I like him and I want to kiss him but I'm not in love with him. I'm totally not.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Bonesborough

Del: Willow seems like a nice girl.

Hunter: Yeah. I'm in love with her.

Leviathan aims to gradually raise your affection meter by bringing you one (1) small gift each day. He will get you something nice on occasion, but those presents are typically reserved for special events such as birthdays and holidays, during which any increases in affection are doubled.

You once mentioned a sticker at a discount store looked cool and he proceeded to gift you that sticker 26 days in a row. He called it min-maxing.

I was thinking about how things like wishcraft and astronomy got forgotten and developed a fun headcanon I feel like sharing.

You see while the knowledge of those two things vanished from peoples brains with the island written records seem to remain. So clearly there's probably some books out there in another language that cover these things right? So why don't more people know about them?

After all wishcraft is a real very tangible thing in Isat and if Sif and the king are any indication it seems as if basically everyone in the forgotten country did wishcraft. Unless they were hyper isolationist (which doesn't line up with the daydreaming ones lost sister moving there) wishcraft should've been documented and studied by outsiders and removed from the memory altering context of the island to some extent.

But what if the reason wishcraft was forgotten was because it used to suck? After all the reason Siffrin can do crazy stuff with wishcraft is because he's tapping into a countries worth of wishes. Euphrasie spells this out pretty clearly at the end of act 4.

So in order to create an effect as big as a timeloop the vaugardians had to unknowingly essentially fill a massive well with wishcraft energy that only one wish could actually tap into. But if there's a country worth of people constantly using wishcraft and tapping into a bunch of wishcraft energy wells none of said wishes would have a chance build up like it did for the ''save Vaugarde'' wish.

As for the kings wish he probably tapped into people wishing for something like ''protect vaugarde, wish things would stay like this for a little while, etc.'' undirected wishes that could build up passively over the years the country has been gone and tapped into for your own use very easily.

If we take Sif's little sharpening ritual as an example of what a single wish worth of wishcraft looks like, the effects are pretty weak. To an outsider it's indistinguishable to what Siffrin would be able to accomplish naturally with a little more focus. And without any wishes having a chance to build up energy no one would get to actually witness the kind of things wishcraft can really do.

So to everyone else the people from the vanished country were probably seen as eccentric weirdos, an entire country of people constantly doing arcane good luck rituals that they swear by but don't seem to actually have any visible effects. And you can't replicate them yourself if you're a skeptic because they require belief.

And why would outsiders believe wishcraft to be real and use/document it when no one can actually prove it even exists?

This would also explain why astronomy isn't super well documented or highly regarded outside the island. After all It's the country that pretends freaking wishcraft is a thing do you really trust them on anything?

[ivibells]

maybe i'm swinging a bat at a hornet's nest here but as an aroace person, i think it's kind of messed up to say that levi is canonically aroace now

yes, he said that he doesn't care about people and that concepts like empathy, compassion, and love are unfamiliar to him. but attraction is not the same as any of those words. i get that people may want to headcanon him as aroace (especially since we don't get a whole lot of representation in the first place), but to insist that it's canon feeds into stereotypes about people with low empathy and aroace people alike

[stellocchia]

Nightmare would definitely blame Killer for how difficult all the other henchmen he could ever possibly acquire are...

Like, imagine with me:

He kidnapped Killer who is already "well-trained". Killer makes his missions a lot easier, he knows plenty of useful shit (even if Nightmare is kind of freaked out by that), he doesn't try to run unless Color gets involved, he's great!

So, Nightmare decides that if one minion makes his plans of conquest so much easier, getting a couple more must insure his success. And then he ends up with Dust who is out the door and running any time he blinks, Horror who keeps trying to murder everyone else and him (and keeps destroying his ominous decor with all the axes he throws), and Cross who is almost good except he keeps getting distracted by the allure of anime adventures.

Killer, the motherfucker, set him up to fail.

He made it seem so easy!

So yeah, Nightmare definitely blames him. No introspection needed, Killer definitely did it on purpose.

I want to know what mcs the ros prefer

I'm a bit hesitant to answer this sort of ask, since I don't want to alienate anybody's MCs!! The ROs can (and will, obviously) fall for any and all MCs regardless of the specifics...

...but also, I do think the ROs have turn-ons/traits they find appealing. So!!

Beck- people shorter than he is, MCs with high reckless/playful/brash stat, and high charisma MCs. They also would think tattoo artist is the coolest MC job, and find the monstrous magic path the most attractive!

Croft- MCs with high brash/cautious/believer stats, as well as high weird and high smarts MCs. They also find high skeptics strangely interesting (and also annoying lol). They like journalists, law students, & tattoo artists! They prefer the necromancy magic path.

Jay- also people shorter than they are (though taller MCs make them blush so it isn't that much of a preference), MCs with high genuine & friendly stats, high composure and charisma stats, and low weird. They like teachers & firefighters. They don't like any magic, so inherently prefer the resistant path.

Perri- MCs with high friendly & playful & believer stats. Preference for high composure and weird. They, of course, like podcaster MCs the most out of all of the jobs--but also find journalists interesting. They prefer precognition when it comes to the magic types!

Ravi- he likes brash MCs and aloof MCs--he likes anyone who will fight with him. He also finds high genuine MCs sweet. He prefers high weird, high tough, high composure. He finds low charisma MCs funny. He has no job preference, and likes fog-touched magic best.

Yasmin- she has a bit of a preference for people taller than her, but that isn't all that hard. She likes MCs with high brash and high playful stats, MCs with high cunning and smarts, prefers teachers, law students, and firefighters, and has a slight preference for precognition (but finds monstrous MCs hot lol).

[saturnniidae]

People give Valka a lot of shit which makes me sad bc her flaws are what make her interesting, and I LOVE thinking about her character.

Like, Have we considered how she had Hiccup at 20 and was married before that? Have we considered that, though she was in love with Stoick, marrying the Chief (or soon-to-be-chief) is a lot of responsibility? Have we considered how young 20 is and Hiccup takes after her in so many ways, not feeling ready for responsibility or wanting to settle down could be one of them? Have we considered she deliberately didn't come back because she maybe felt she wasn't ready to be a mother? Have we considered she loves Hiccup and Stoick so dearly but needed to live her own life? Have we considered how bittersweet the reunion really was because she realized she missed her chance to actually be a mother and how much the guilt of not coming back must've weighed on her?

I LOVE YOU VALKA HTTYD!!!!!!!

DAVE YORK MASTERLIST | FULL MASTERLIST

You and your husband's Saturday nights are usually spent with Carol and Dave, your friend from high school and your husband's friend from work, respectively. Mostly you have dinner at your house or theirs, followed with wine and a movie after. Tonight's not any different, except Carol looks at you funny when you politely refuse a glass of pinot grigio.

"Might as well tell them, honey," you husband Jim is all smiles as he addresses the table. "We're trying for a baby," he announces proudly.

You smile but it's masking your discomposure. "Honey I thought we were going to wait until I'm actually pregnant to tell everyone," you say under your breath.

Carol's face is illuminated with joy as she reaches over the dinner table to grab your hand. "That is such wonderful news! Isn't that such good news, babe?" she asks Dave.

Dave eyes both you and your husband, and there’s a mysterious little smile that curves across his lips. “That is great news.”

Jim continues, “She’s on trial pharmaceutical hormones right now, so hopefully it’ll work for us and we’ll be parents soon,” he says excitedly. You manage to be more reserved about it, though your heart rate does speed up when you notice Dave’s eyes on you longer than usual.

After dinner you offer to help tidy up while Jim and Carol start the movie. Really it’s just an excuse to be by yourself for a moment, but then Dave joins you, pouring himself a glass of scotch.

“Are you excited about trying for a baby?” he asks so casually.

In the years you’ve known him, he’s never spoken to you about personal things very often. “Yeah, I am,” you smile at him from the sink.

“How long have you and Jim been.. trying?”

It’s possible this is a normal question coming from a curious friend, but there’s always been something about Dave that gives off the impression that he’s anything but.

“Almost a year,” you answer.

“That’s a long time. Do you try pretty frequently?”

You make a sound of surprise, turning to fully face him. “That’s inappropriate.”

He puts his hands up. “You’re right. I’m sorry.” He approaches you slowly. “I just meant it must be frustrating, putting in all that hard, fun work only to have your hopes dashed when you see blood the very next month.”

You’re rooted to the spot, knowing you should turn to leave and join the others, but it’s also intriguing, the way he speaks to you. “The new hormones are going to be a tremendous help,” you manage to say.

“Hmm. I bet you’re feeling all kinds of new things with these hormones.. even earlier at dinner I could tell.. you’ve got this unmistakable scent coming off you.. you’re probably ripe for someone to put a baby in you right now.” He towers over you, eyes roving your body in its feminine floral dress before his hands follow suit, gently tracing the outline of your curves. “You’d look so hot pregnant.. your hips getting wider, breasts getting bigger.. and it all starts with this.,” his hand sneaks under your skirt, skims along your inner thigh and finds your heat, evident through your cotton panties. “If your husband isn’t doing the job, why don’t I step in?”

“Dave,” you whisper, “Carol’s my best friend. I can’t..” but it feels too good and damn it he’s right: the hormones have given your libido a big boost. You take his hand and guide his fingers into your slick center. You both gasp quietly as he starts to stroke you with two fingers, then three when he sees you can take it. His lips trace delicately over your neck, just above your pulse point. Jesus, if his fingers fill you up this good, just imagine what he can do with that cock. “Fuck me,” you whisper.

“Are you sure?” His eyes are dark but there’s a kind of mirth there.

“Shut up Dave, just take me home.”

After making your excuse to Carol and Jim that you’re feeling unwell, Dave “offers” to walk you home, which is how you end up across the street, upstairs in the room you share with your husband. He’s relentless as he kisses you with soft mouth and playful tongue. You fumble together towards the bed, working in tandem to get each other's clothes off as quickly as possible. There's urgency in everything you do, even your breathing is heavy and erratic. Your dress goes over your head; you pull off his shirt and unbuckle his belt. Layers are pulled away until skin meets skin and at last he pulls your panties off, smirking to find them absolutely soaked. You lean over the bed, looking over your shoulder at him.

"Is this how Jim usually likes it?" Dave asks, running his hand admiringly over the curve of your ass.

You blush at the sudden random evaluation of your married sex life. "Well.. yes.."

Dave shakes his head, a little smile forming on his lips as he turns you around and lays you across the bed. "I want to see the look on your face when you cum." With that, he slides into you, relishing your expression as he fills you completely. Your legs wrap around his hips and your arms wrap around his neck, all while your bodies move in perfect harmony. "He doesn't fuck you very often, does he?" Dave whispers in your ear, sending tingles down your spine. "I can tell, the way your pussy is gripping me so tight, like you haven't been fucked in weeks.."

You start a smart comeback but it's impossible to think when he's moving against you like he's fucked you hundreds of times before. Jesus, no wonder Carol's always happy. Her husband's well-endowed and knows how to use it.

The sounds of your combined moans becomes rhythmic, Dave's body strong and powerful yet gentle with you. The bedsprings creak beneath your weight, skin smacks on skin, hands grab everywhere they can, lips meet heated flesh, words of lust become sighs and half-uttered phrases. When you come you clench around him, fingernails digging into his skin as a great wave of pleasure and relief flows through you and you cry out. Dave's eyes are on you, barely registering the slight pain of your nails in his back, feeling how you milk him with your greedy little pussy, and his body tenses against yours, his movements become faster and faster as he fucks you during your orgasm. You barely have time to come down before he starts you up again. You moan "Yes!" over and over, hips meeting every one of his frenzied thrusts. Dave looks smug and self-righteous watching you come for the second time. It's not until you feel him swell and pulse inside you that you panic. "Dave, don't!..." but it's too late. You feel several warm bursts when he presses deep against you. To your shock your body reacts eagerly, milking his cock for every drop he has to give. All this happens with your gaze locked on one another's, and as you pale with the realization of what you've just done, Dave only smirks and pushes forward one more time.

You gasp. "Dave, you weren't supposed to-"

"Quiet now. Lay still and keep your hips elevated. Wouldn't want all my hard work to go to waste." He disengages from you, taking a moment to watch his seed spilling out of you and he gently presses it back in. "Not a drop," he says, and gets up to get dressed.

Still in shock, you do as he says, body still reeling from the aftermath of the intense fucking he's just given you. "Don't.. don't tell Jim about this. Or Carol." A massive wave of guilt washes over you knowing you've been unfaithful to your husband and to your oldest, best friend.

"I won't say a word," Dave promises. "I have no doubt Carol would hate you forever and Jim.. well, Jim would be heartbroken. He's not exactly a fighter," he smirks. "And I'll tell you something else." He sits next to you on the bed, admiring the messy state of your hair, your flushed skin. "Jim's a good guy and a good friend. He deserves better than a wife who betrays him like this."

Anger replaces your trepidation and you push him away. "You're an asshole. Get out!"

He looks amused by all this, rather than shamed or defeated as a normal person would. "I'll be seeing you around, sweetheart. We're friends with each other's spouses. It's inevitable." He leans towards you and brushes his thumb against your cheek. "If this time doesn't take - which I doubt it won't - I'm happy to help out again."

Twelve weeks later Jim makes the happy announcement that you're expecting, after having tried for so long you've finally received a miracle. You manage to look contented and cheerful as your friends and family gather to celebrate the amazing news. Carol dotes over you, making sure you don't strain yourself for the baby's sake. You meet eyes with Dave, who's across the room watching you, a brazen little smirk on his face. He lifts his brow as if to ask the question you know he wants to ask, and all you can do is give a little nod.

"The ninja wouldn't be older adults in dragons rising!!" Uh huh. Anyways they're "grown up" teenagers in the Oni trilogy which likely means 18-19, and then were likely in their early 20s in the 11 minute era (bc it happens over ~2 years at least because it was a year between seabound and crystallized). There's then an unknown time period between crystallized and the merge, likely multiple years, because Frohicky heard about the ninja BEFORE the merge as a tadpole. Then there are multiple years between the merge and the ninja reuniting in DR, because sora and arin grew up CONSIDERABLY, as well as Nya. Outright saying the merge was years ago.

I think the youngest the ninja would logically be if we're looking from what vague things we know abt the time between the oni trilogy to now is early 30s, maybe late 20s if you really try to make those year amounts as small as possible

There's a common headcanon for the Hamilton-Laurens relationship that Hamilton is the big, loud talker and Laurens is stoic and quiet.

Counterpoint – Laurens is a gentleman: eloquent, charming, well-educated and raised in polite society, where the art of conversation is highly prized. While Hamilton has some of these traits, he's less refined, and he's the stronger writer between them. Laurens is the one who goes to Congress to champion his projects in person; Hamilton is the scribe who challenges and defeats with his pen. Laurens is taken seriously as a speaker because of his background and family connections; Hamilton is taken seriously when he is writing under a pseudonym.

Some supporting evidence off the top of my head:

I have collected some hints for an answer [to Charles Lee]; but I do not think, either that I can rely upon my own knowledge of facts and style to answer him fully, or that it would be prudent to undertake it without counsel. An affair of this kind ought to be passed over in total silence, or answered in a masterly manner. [...] The pen of Junius is in your hand; and I think you will, without difficulty, expose [...] such a tissue of falsehood and inconsistency, as will satisfy the world, and put him for ever to silence.

John Laurens to Alexander Hamilton, 5 December 1778

[Laurens'] polite and easy behaviour, insured distinction in every polished society.

Charleston [S.C.], Printed for the author, by A. E. Miller. http://archive.org/details/anecdotesofrevol00gar

[Laurens'] insinuating address won the hearts of all his acquaintances; his sincerity and virtue secured their lasting esteem. Acting from the most honorable principles – uniting the bravery and other talents of a great officer with the knowledge of a complete scholar, and the engaging manners of a well bred gentleman, he was the idol of his country, the glory of the army, and an ornament of human nature. His abilities shone in the legislature and in the cabinet as well as in the field, and were equal to the highest stations.
