WEALTH

$  FINANCIAL : wealthy / moderate / poor / in poverty ✚  MEDICAL : fit / moderate / sickly / disabled / disadvantaged / non applicable ✪  CLASS OR CASTE : upper / middle / working / street trash / slave / unsure ✔  EDUCATION : qualified / unqualified / studying / other Amahl was taught the basics at a maktab, but his education fell apart circa WWI; once he got control of his powers, he read widely and on a variety of subjects, particularly philosophy, poetry, history, and linguistics. His knowledge of technology and science is pretty limited, largely due to a lack of interest. (Who needs science when you can change the laws of nature on a whim?) ✖  CRIMINAL RECORD : yes, for major crimes / yes, for minor crimes / no / hasn’t been caught.

FAMILY

◒  CHILDREN : has a child or children / has no children / wants children / verse dependent I just feel like this is not a man who’s diligent about birth control.  ◑  RELATIONSHIP WITH FAMILY : close with sibling(s) / not close with sibling(s) / has no siblings / sibling(s) is deceased ◔  AFFILIATION : orphaned / adopted / disowned / raised by birth parent(s) / not applicable

TRAITS + TENDENCIES

♦  extroverted / introverted / in between ♦  disorganized / organized / in between ♦  close-minded / open-minded / in between ♦ calm / anxious / in between ♦  disagreeable / agreeable / in between / extremely creepy  ♦ cautious / reckless / in between ♦ patient / impatient / in between ♦ outspoken / reserved / in between ♦  leader / follower / in between ♦ empathetic / unempathetic / in between ♦  optimistic / pessimistic / in between ♦  traditional / modern / in between Probably was pretty modern in like 1940 something, but has not quite moved with the times.  ♦ hard-working / lazy / in between ♦  cultured / uncultured / in between / unknown ♦  loyal / disloyal / unknown ♦  faithful / unfaithful / unknown If this is about faithfulness in relationships - in most cases, he would never agree to a monogamous relationship in the first place. There are a few exceptions - the big one would be the OT3 verse(s) with @telegion​ & @hcldmybreath​ - but even then, I’m not sure he could be trusted to be “faithful” to Syd & David if presented with someone very tempting.

BELIEFS

★  FAITH : monotheist / polytheist / atheist / agnostic / it’s complicated Farouk sees himself (and, sometimes, other mutants) as a God; he also often has a solipsistic belief that other people aren’t real/are figments of his imaginations. ☆  BELIEF IN GHOSTS OR SPIRITS : yes / no / don’t know / don’t care / is a ghost ✮  BELIEF IN AN AFTERLIFE : yes / no / don’t know / don’t care/ has died before ✯  BELIEF IN REINCARNATION : yes / no / don’t know / don’t care ❃  BELIEF IN ALIENS : yes / no / don’t know / don’t care ✧  RELIGIOUS : orthodox / liberal / in between / not religious ❀  PHILOSOPHICAL : yes / no

SEXUALITY + ROMANTIC INCLINATION

❤  SEXUALITY : heterosexual / homosexual / bisexual / asexual / pansexual / demisexual ❥  SEX : sex repulsed / sex neutral / sex favorable / naive and clueless ♥  ROMANCE : romance repulsed / romance neutral / romance favorable / naive and clueless Can you describe someone as “romance repulsed” if they’re not aro? I wouldn’t say Farouk is aro. He’s biromantic where he can experience the necessary level of connection to other people - rarely - but has some . . . frankly immature edgelord ideas about how much romance sucks.  ❣  SEXUALLY : adventurous / experienced / naive / inexperienced / curious / inhibited ⚧  POTENTIAL SEXUAL PARTNERS : male / female / agender / other / none / all ⚧  POTENTIAL ROMANTIC PARTNERS : male / female / agender / other / none /all

ABILITIES

☠  COMBAT SKILLS :  excellent / good / moderate / poor / none I feel like he hasn’t got into a physical fight since like. Since he hit puberty, really. And I imagine he could hold his own in scraps with other boys back then, but it’s been a LONG time.   ≡  LITERACY SKILLS :  excellent / good / moderate / poor / none ✍  ARTISTIC SKILLS : excellent / good / moderate / poor / none  I never thought about Farouk creating art! I imagine it would be technically skilled but curiously empty - the work of someone who’s studied all of the great works of the past, but has very little of his own to add.  ✂  TECHNICAL SKILLS :  excellent / good / moderate / poor / none I’ve never gotten a chance to write this, but I feel like Farouk is suspicious of modern technology, in part because his powers don’t give him a benefit in using it, in part because he’s an old man who doesn’t get what the kids these days are doing. It’s not him who’s self-absorbed, it’s these damn kids on their phones all day! 

HABITS

☕  DRINKING ALCOHOL :  never / sometimes / frequently / to excess ☁  SMOKING : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess ✿  OTHER NARCOTICS : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess Farouk’s first experiences with mind-altering substances were probably opium; he still has a fondness for it. He also enjoys having his victims take mind-altering drugs and enjoying the effects from a safe distance, filtered through someone else’s mind. He has some mixed feelings about the loss of control that the heavy use of drugs would entail, though, so he tends to save using drugs himself for special occasions.  ✌  MEDICINAL DRUGS : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess Like, he has no problem taking antibiotics or whatever, but he’s freaked out by psychiatric drugs - the drugs David took, in addition to not being good for David, also had a dulling effect on Farouk’s ability to affect David. ☻  INDULGENT FOOD : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess Farouk has some unspecified Food Issues.  $  SPLURGE SPENDING : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess ’Excess’ is a strong word, because he has pretty much never had to worry about money since his powers developed. If he runs out, well, he can always get more. Why not spend? ♣  GAMBLING : never / sometimes / frequently / to excess Not his favorite vice, but if there’s something to be gambled that actually matters to him, he enjoys the thrill. But he also cheats, so.

i’m doing yogscast characters with this!

[coolspacequips]

I am too tired to think of actual scenarios and details but imagine Kinkade, Shiro, and Lance have been together and living together for a while and they decide to take the next step: adopting a pet! What do each of them want: cat, dog, bird, snake?? Do they get more than 1? How many places do they look at, do they run into problems? Do they fall in love with something unexpected? What do they name it!

hey anon ok here we go with attempt 2 with answering this question!! i wrote a long ass response to this ask and then accidentally navigated away from the page somehow (typing too frantically? no conclusive science on this) and lost the whole thing :’)

but im bringing the same enthusiasm and mostly remember what i said so here we go again! (came back to say.... this got even longer idk why i am just rambling abt pet meta this is ridiculous)

so, we all know that i want shance to be married with a cat, but moving into ot3 territory things are getting a little bit more complicated. 

pet discussions probably open up as a joke, with lance complaining about wanting a little buddy to play with around the house, and the others agreeing that they could use someone to keep their energy up and their laps warm whenever hes away. but whenever lance sighs and moans for a pet, it tends to be a different animal depending on the situation. 

so what do they actually want?

starting w lance naturally, i feel like hes a much more traditional pet type of guy. wants a cat to snuggle and play with, or a dog to run and swim with, something soft that he can get his hands on and smother in smooches. something thatll do well in a family home! whatever they get though, he would shower it with love and attention

shiro strikes me as more of a traditional pet guy, too, and we already know that he likes cats. if he had more time, i feel like he would like smaller pets, like a bunny or a bird, something he can keep nearby and speak softly too while just enjoying how cute and pretty it is. but the level of poop from both of those animals requires a lot of upkeep, and they need more specific care, and birds can get loud, which kinkade is not the hugest fan of, anyway

kinkade is the odd one out here, though. i mean, of course he likes your traditional house pet just as much as the next guy, and animals actually Love him for reasons beyond his comprehension, but he actually likes reptiles. we know hes a reflective guy, one who seems to value having control, and idk i think he would find a lot of comfort in the routine of caring for a high maintenance pet like that! he likes reptiles because theyre stoic but full of so much personality, and he just enjoys kind of watching them do their own thing in their habitat, showing his care by keeping their temp and humidity under control, decorating their tanks to a ridiculous degree to make them as comfortable and immersive as he can for them. he spoils them a little with treats, and you might even catch him murmuring softly to them while he feeds and cleans and handles them.

he knows its a weird sort of pet, though, so he doesnt speak up about it when they really start to consider their pet options. naturally, they eventually settle on a cat that they love to pieces. lance loves to play with it, it makes kinkade smile and laugh, it pulls shiro out of his thoughts when he gets lost in them, and they all spoil it!!

lance remembers way back at the garrison, though, that kinkade had a ‘secret’ tank that he kept in his dorm for a while before getting caught, in the earlier days. it was a whole schoolyard scandal, just another layer of kinkade mystery. he brings this up one day, and it all comes out that actually, kinkade just has a soft spot for those scaly little guys, and both lance and shiro want to know why he didnt just tell them that before! 

really, kinkade still has trouble opening up, even to them, even after all this time. he just kept it to himself, he couldnt really say why, not wanting to derail the conversation when they probably wouldnt want some gross reptile anyway. but they are on board!! if this is a modern au, they probably get something not TOO difficult, like a bearded lizard or a pretty cornsnake, maybe a turtle if the commitment is real, but omg can you imagine them giving him a cool little alien reptile that becomes his bff??? please!

but yeah they decide they want to learn more about this special interest of kinkades, and get together with him to research different breeds and the stuff that theyre gonna need to take care of their new reptile! shiro is actually, surprisingly, a little more twitchy about them, a cross between being uneasy with them and being wary because theyre small and delicate once kinkade has gently coaxed the little thing into his hand. he warms up to them, though. lance is v enthusiastic to touch it and feed it, even though he puts on a big production of bravado when he has to put his hand close to its mouth and it snatches whatever he has out, jerking his hand back and then putting it on his hip with a big laugh like he meant to do it

theres a bit of an adjustment period as their cat is Fascinated with their new housemate, but they quickly condition her not to stress the lil thing out

also if its a modern au i just decided that they land on getting a turtle and name it atlas, because its carrying the world on its back, and because theyre nerds, and atlas.

so thats it lol, thanks for coming to my ted talk!!

[landofsomethingsomething]

your askbox seems crowded with johnroxycallie asks today. welllll sorry im going to add another one to the pile! i am intrigued! i used to ship johnroxy because it seemed real & cute but i moved to roxycallie when it was canon. but this is interesting?? sooo im interested but not sold. give me your best sales pitch for this new ot3 and adopt me into that good good 4 person fold?

Okay here’s why I like it.

To start you have to understand my salty relationship with Roxy’s bisexuality. I basically wrote my own god damn narrative for it in my own head because I am just so over homestuck’s completely unwillingness to give women arcs relating to their sexuality. Womens’ queerness is always something treated by the narrative as obvious and unworthy of commentary or exploration or any element of revelation/self-discovery or even an iota of reflection or struggle, which is especially FRUSTRATING when they’ve been shown struggling with the queerness of OTHERS. It’s that last part that gets me w Roxy -- I especially hate this with Roxy specifically because her relationship with Dirk was so very fucking fraught with her being bitter at him for being gay and thus unwilling to be with her. Roxy was aggressive about her attraction to Jake and Dirk and I would have really liked to see SOMETHING about like. The narrative there after she meets Callie, especially when Callie expressly tells Roxy that her species can’t experience human romance and blah blah blah blah there are so many things I would have loved to know more about re Roxy and her sexuality but this post is already going to be long so enough said about how mad I am about this specifically

The way I’ve settled on it for my own peace of mind is that Roxy went after Dirk and Jake most aggressively because she had the “save the human species” thing held up as the banner of like, the most important thing she could do to the exclusion of most else. Couple that with her being upset at Dirk for being gay and you get a workable explanation for her suppressing her own bisexuality and being so exuberantly performatively straight. 

So. Callie is the only person outside the other alpha kids that Roxy has had this lifelong close relationship/bond with. They have a conversation where they basically gal pal each other aggressively, with Callie saying her species can’t do redrom/human romance and Roxy being cagey about whether she’d reciprocate because Callie is basically telling her there’s no point to the thought exercise and who likes rejection?? but Roxy is the one who brings it up and is clearly fishing to see if Callie likes her likes her and blah blah blah people have been shipping RoxyCallie long before credits video because of all this, the ring, etc. The closeness of their relationship and the mutual “if only this could work it could be so good” narrative there like all right. 

Then, John. There’s an element to Roxy’s attraction to John that’s rooted in that instinctive thing she has going on that you can see on display in their first meeting, where she sees A Dude and immediately does her mental calculus to determine hey here is A Dude, he’s kind of cute, he’s maybe not gay and/or off-limits b/c my best friend has a huge messy crush on him. And it would be real easy to weigh the scales here and go full RoxyCallie if that were the sum and parts of their relationship, but like, here’s the thing -- it’s not. 

I just cannot let go of John and Roxy as the sole survivors of the Game Over timeline. Roxy is Callie’s beacon of optimistic hope, Roxy is the one who acts to save Callie and preserve her in the alpha timeline (with John’s help -- John gives Roxy the ring after all. I like that detail in the full scope of them being a Unit in the future.) But JOHN plays that role for Roxy. Roxy watches Rose die and is ready to sit down and throw in the towel. She tells John straight up that her only plan going forward after this is to accept her fate and bury her mom and wait for her miserable doomed timeline to end and take her with it. John is the one who convinces her there might be a better way, there might be hope. JOHN is the one who acts to preserve Roxy’s existence in the alpha timeline. I really love the parallel between Roxy bringing Callie back from the brink of oblivion and John bringing Roxy back from the same via the same mechanism that allows John to get the ring that allows Roxy to bring Callie back in the first place. That is a really tidy loop and I like it a lot.

So, Roxy in Earth C with a boy she likes and has a connection with that literally no one else can understand because no one else went through Game Over, no one else has this dissonant experiences that might not mesh 100% with the people they love, no one else has this potential imposter syndrome. I love the idea of Roxy and John bonding over that and have never really been willing to give it up. I love the idea of Roxy coming to understand that her infatuation with the idea of A Boy, Any Boy and the future she wanted so bad were products of trauma and really examining that and then realizing she fell for John legitimately, that she genuinely finds him charming

Simultaneously, Roxy in Earth C with the alien girl she’s had a crush on for like probably forever, and now she’s free of the burden she always assumed she had to repopulate the human race. Also her entire family is queer and she’s free to explore her own feelings with that context. Maybe to accept that her feelings for Jane were never purely platonic (and her feelings for Callie certainly never were) and half her frustration at Dirk was that he insisted on being “true” to himself while Roxy never felt she could be and imposed straightness on herself out of obligation to the human race. That could make a girl bitter, right? (I have so many god damn feelings about Roxy and Dirk reconciling post-canon)

And here’s Callie with her insistence that cherubs can’t experience redrom, too. Except now she’s living on Earth C with, for example, Karkat, a troll who absolutely experiences romantic feelings the same way humans do despite all his species lore stating Trolls Can’t Feel Like That. And now Callie has eternity to explore HER feelings -- and we know part of why Callie just accepted that she couldn’t experience flushed/human romance is because she didn’t think anyone would ever love her like that anyway, right? She thought she was hideous and unloveable. Well now she’s here on Earth C and there’s no way Roxy is going to go on letting her believe that. And without that holding her back from exploring the way she REALLY feels, you can see a path to Callie allowing herself to experience emotions she never thought she could. 

And all of these are positive things and wonderful things for these people to learn about themselves and about each other. 

Roxy caught between the boy she fell for on her journey and the girl she fell for long before her journey even started, just having this realization like, everyone is doing what they want here, this is our universe and our earth and our society and our rules, and she’s kind of unofficially dating them both for awhile but not committing labels-wise to either until eventually she’s just like fuck it??? Here’s how I feel, now how about you??? And I cannot imagine Callie protesting Roxy loving them both or someone else loving Roxy as much as she does, and John’s relationship with romance throughout Homestuck is so bemused and ???? and exploratory, I imagine he’s like well this is kinda weird is this like a troll thing and Roxy is like no this is just an us thing and they deal with it

John and Callie have already been spending tons of time with each other throughout and again, as I referenced in an earlier post, there’s some initial awkwardness that settles out into a balanced arrangement and Callie and John both love Roxy and care about each other very much.

Also like, until there actually is some kind of epilogue that does more with John’s current depression arc and ties in the Masterpiece with everything, I like this alternate reality where John has someone who understands him in a way really no one else can there for him when his shit starts to go south, I like the idea of there being an entire long ass subplot where John tries to isolate himself and Roxy is instrumental in not allowing that to happen, I like Callie’s cheer in the face of her own blisteringly unforgiving history and reality being an inspiration for John, I like a lot of things that canon as it stands doesn’t have a satisfying character-driven arc for at the moment.

And, you know, to cap all this off, I really just like JohnRoxyCallie as an acknowledgement that bisexual woman are not “less” for liking boys, that bisexual woman don’t “count” unless they are exclusively with women, and that bisexual people in real life who ship bisexual characters with people of opposite/other genders are not somehow betraying the queer community by doing so, while simultaneously not sacrificing a potential f/f romance for a m/f one.

The LGBT community’s relationship with bisexual women is MY pet issue, because obviously I’m a bi woman, and there’s obviously an element of that going on as well. It bothers me with the treatment of a lot of fandom/homestuck’s bisexual women (this frenzy by queer fandom to erase every relationship a bisexual woman ever had with a man as being not real or not valid for x, y, z reasons while Straight Fandom is over there doing the same thing, but opposite) but Roxy is by far the Homestuck Canon Bisexual Woman I personally care about the most so SHRUG that’s why you get a million words of my feelings

Anyway that’s why I like them

chocolatebox letter

Dear Chocolate Box Author,

I hope you have fun writing for me! I’ve requested four small-to-medium fandoms I love: Rivers of London, Leverage, Wayfarers, and Animorphs.

In general, I like...

Polyamory and other unconventional relationships

Worldbuilding

Wacky fanfic tropes

Banter, snark, and humor

Kinky smut

Canon divergence AUs

Minor character / outsider / alternate POVs

In general, I do not want...

Non-con or dub-con (that includes sex pollen and similar tropes)

Kidfic

Internalized homophobia

Pining

Mundane AUs

On to the fandoms!

Animorphs

Cassie/Aftran, Illim/Tidwell

So I'm a little obsessed with Yeerks. And I'm especially obsessed with voluntary Yeerk/host relationships. I love how it's a unique kind of relationship that doesn't map into anything humans can have with each other.

For Cassie and Aftran, I would love to see any kind of AU where they get to be together, whether that's as Yeerk and voluntary host, or with Aftran going nothlit as something other than a whale, so they can have an ongoing relationship. I love the way Cassie and Aftran challenge each other to be more than they are, the way they've forged this unique peace between each other that nobody else seems to really understand.

For Illim and Tidwell.... God, anything, really. I'd love to see their relationship from their perspectives, how Tidwell became a Controller, how Illim saved him from his crushing grief, their involvement in the Peace Movement, and what happened to them after the war. Did they find a way to stay together as Yeerk and voluntary host? Did Illim have to go nothlit? If so, as what? Seriously, they're the most interesting minor characters to me and I'm starving for content.

To be clear, you are free to interpret the relationships between human and Yeerk any way you like; there’s a lot of room for complexity here, so don’t feel limited by & or / signs between their names.

Leverage

Hardison/Parker/Eliot, Hardison/Parker/Eliot & Nana

A few prompts for the Leverage OT3 that would all make me very happy:

Kink with Eliot as a sub. I headcanon him as an absolute service sub in the sheets. I also love Parker bringing her unique mindset to kink as well as to cons. And of course you know Hardison would get alllllllll the toys.

The OT3 get a case post-series, and Nana is the client. Either she needs their help, or one of her friends does. Parker and Eliot get to learn more about Hardison's foster family and get to experience some of that family loving too.

Magic AU, where one or more of the OT3 are non-human and/or magic-users. Maybe it helps them with the cons, but maybe it also gets them into unique kinds of trouble. I also love the idea of the trio as being a relationship where magic can be understood and accepted in a way it can't in the world at large.

Rivers of London

Peter Grant/Thomas Nightingale, Beverley Brook/Peter Grant, Peter Grant & Molly (Rivers of London), Peter Grant & Sahra Guleed, Peter Grant & Abigail Kamara

What I want most in my Rivers of London fanwork is all of the tropes. Bring on the truth spells, body swaps, sex magic rituals, amnesia, accidental adoptions, accidental animal transformations, accidental baby acquisitions, accidental magic weddings, mind links, really any trope in the book as long as it's not dub-con/non-con. Any time that Peter Grant and an over-the-top fannish trope come together, I know some beautiful magic is going to happen, so lay it on me.

Also, to be clear, I’m fine with polyamory (Peter can date both Beverley and Thomas as far as I’m concerned) and with Beverley/Peter and Peter/Nightingale as gen friendship stories. 

Wayfarers

Sidra & Pepper, Sidra & Tak, Sidra/Tak

I am fascinated by Sidra's struggles with embodiment, and I love how Tak and Pepper try but don't really succeed in helping her with that. At the end of the book she is now this sort of networked being with multiple bodies. I'd love fic about this new embodiment of Sidra's and how it affects her relationships with Pepper and Tak. What is it like for them to hang out with her at her bar? Is she happier now? Is she different to them, now, having multiple robot bodies?

By the way, if you take things in a Sidra/Tak direction, feel free to make the sex extremely weird. I expect nothing less than delightfully strange from a romance between a genderfluid fish alien and a many-bodied artificial intelligence.
