Catch You on the Rewind: 7,710 words

He tries to take a step forward to get out of this corner hes been pushed into, but he's interrupted by Tony moving forward, blocking his way. Gregory's breath catches in his throat as he almost runs into his chest. His converse are streaked and dirty, and his jeans are worn and faded. He looks up, and sees Tony already staring intently at him, blue eyes studying his face. "What's your deal?" Or: Gregory, sent back in time by some higher power by over a year and on top of that stuck in a timeloop, finds out that the person he's mourned and grieved for months after learning about his death is alive and well in the time he was transported back to.

10 More Character Types the World Needs More of

Part 1 was specifically character dynamics, but I’m considering this a sequel anyway.

1. Fiercely independent character’s lesson isn’t to “trust people”

I’m not projecting. You’re projecting. There is a divide wide enough to fit the Grand Canyon between “trusting that someone isn’t lying” and “trusting someone to follow through on a promise”. Most dumpster fire attempts at these characters (almost exclusively women) rely solely on mocking them for the former because “not all men” or something.

Being consistently let down in life makes you hesitant to a) gain friends, b) pursue romantic interests, c) maintain familial relationships, d) get excited about any event that demands participation from someone who isn’t you. None of this is simply a bad attitude—it’s a trauma response. There is no lesson to be learned, and not even exposure therapy can help because it’s a real, legitimate, and common stunt people pull, whether they mean it or not.

So write one of these characters and legitimize their fears, give them someone who proves the exception to the rule, but do not let the lesson be “well they just haven’t found the right person yet”. Even the “right person” can let them down. It's about not becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy by sabotaging a good thing to prove it will inevitably go bad.

2. Conventionally attractive men who aren’t horndogs

I’m going to find every way I can to tell you to write more aces. This is to fight the stigma that attractive people must be attracted to people. Give me gorgeous aces and demi’s, men, women, enbys and everyone in between, who put a crap ton of effort into looking their best, and yet happen to not have a very loud libido. They look good for themselves, and not to impress anyone else.

Give me someone who could have anyone they wanted, gender regardless, and just simply has no interest. Or, they do actually have a significant other, but sex, how hot their partner is, or how horny they are, isn’t their internal monologue. I don’t even care if it’s unrealistic, it’s annoying to read.

And, you know, giving men male characters who aren’t thinking about sex all the time can be good, right? Right?

3. Manly warrior men who also write poetry

A.K.A Aragorn, Son of Arathorn. Just give me more Aragorns, period. This dude is either covered in filth, blood, guts, and the last 30 miles of rugged terrain, or singing in Elvish at his own coronation while pink flower petals fall. A man can be both, and still be straight.

A man can also drink Respect Women juice, you know? He ticks off all the boxes—he’s gentle when he needs to be, not afraid to hide his emotions, kind to those who are vulnerable and afraid and need a strong figure to look up to, resolute in his beliefs, skilled and knowledgeable in his abilities without being arrogant or smug, and the first boots on the battlefield, leading from the front.

4. Characters who are characters when no one is watching

This is less a specific type and more a scene that doesn’t get written enough. This whole point comes from Pixar’s Cars. I. Love. This. Movie. It’s not Pixar’s best, for sure, but this is my comfort movie. The best scene, one that’s so unique, is when Doc (aged living legend) thinks he’s alone when he rolls out onto the dirt race track and comes alive tearing around the oval.

This character’s unbridled, unabashed glee and euphoria at proving to himself that he’s still got it, when he’s completely unaware of his audience, is perfection. Not enough credence is given to characters to just… enjoy being themselves. He’s not doing it to prepare for the climactic race, he’s not doing it for the plot, he’s doing it just to do it, not even to prove Lightning wrong—just for himself.

Give your characters a “Doc Racing” scene. Whatever their skill is. Maybe they’re a dancer, a skater, a swimmer, a painter, sprinter. Just let your character love being alive.

5. Characters whose neurodivergence isn't “cute”

A.K.A. Lilo Pelekai from Lilo and Stitch. Really, her relationship with Nani is peak sibling writing. But Lilo herself is just so realistic with how she interacts with the world, how she interprets her relationships with her so-called friends, how she organizes her thoughts and rationalizes what she can’t quite understand, and how friggen smart she is for an… 11-year-old?

But she’s not “cute”. As in, she wasn’t written by generic Suits who were trying to cash in on the ND crowd by writing what they think will sell, but also making her juuust neurotypical enough to still be palatable by the rest of the audience. Lilo’s earnestness is what endears her to everybody. But also, she doesn’t get a free pass for her behavior, either. Her “friends” aren’t forced to accommodate her and Nani isn’t written as the cold-hearted villain for trying to discipline her.

6. Straight male characters with female friends

Am I double-dipping a bit here? Yes. While I completely understand how tempting it can be, this type of character is in dire need of exposure and representation to prove it’s possible. No weird tense moments, no double-glances when she isn’t looking, no contemplations about cheating on his girlfriend (and no insecure jealous girlfriend either). Just two characters who enjoy each other’s company and are able to coexist in a space and be in each other’s spaces without hormones getting in the way. Peak example? Po and Tigress from Kung Fu Panda.

Let these two rely on each other for emotional strength in times of need, let them share inside jokes, let them have a night alone together at a bar, at home, cooking dinner, getting takeout, talking on the patio in a porch swing… with zero “will they/won’t they.”

7. The likable bigot

I’m actually on the fence with this one but it’s something I also don’t see done often enough and I’m adding it for one reason: Bigots aren’t always obvious mustache-twirling villains and the little things they do might seem inconsequential to them, but are still hurtful. So showing these characters is like plopping a mirror down in front of these people and, I don’t know, maybe something will click. They don’t have to be MAGAs to be dangerous, and only writing the extremes convinces the moderates that they aren’t also the problem.

Example: I have a “friend” who recently said something along the lines of “I have lots of gay friends” followed up shortly by “I don’t think this country should keep gay marriage because it’s a slippery slope to legalizing pedophilia.” You know. The quiet part being that she *actually* thinks being gay is as morally abhorrent as being a pedo. But she totally has lots of gay friends. Including one who was driving her during that conversation. (It’s me. Hi. I’m apparently the problem, it’s me.)

She’s absolutely homophobic, but the second she stops announcing it, she’s a very bubbly person. She’s a ~likable~ bigot and thus thinks she can distance herself from the more violent ones.

8. The motherly single father

I say “motherly” merely as shorthand for the vibe I’m going for here. “Motherly” as in dads who aren’t scandalized by the growing pains of their daughters, and who don’t just parent their sons by saying “man up boys don’t cry”. Dads who play Barbie with their kids of either gender. Dads who go to the PTA meetings with all the other Karens and know as much if not more than they do about the school and their kids’ education.

Dads who comfort their crying kids, especially their sons. Dads that take interest in “feminine” activities like learning how to braid their daughter’s hair, learning different makeup brands, going on nail salon trips together. Dads who do not pull out the rifle on their daughter’s new boyfriend and treat her like property. Dads who have guy friends that don’t mock him and call him gay. Dad who does all this stuff anyway and is *actually* gay, too, but the emphasis is on overly sensitive straight men’s masculinity here.

Wholesome dads: a shocking amount of single-parents to female anime protagonists.

9. The parent isn’t dead, they’re just gone

Treasure Planet is an awesome movie in its own right, but what’s even better? This is a Disney movie where the parent isn’t dead, he’s just a deadbeat who abandoned his son and isn’t at all relevant to the plot beyond the hole he left behind for Jim to fill. The only deadbeat dads Disney allows are villains and those guys are very vigorously chasing an aspiration, that aspiration just doesn’t include quality fatherhood. Or motherhood. Disney has yet to write a deadbeat mom, I’m almost certain.

I just wrote a post about the necessity of the “dead parent” cliche, but what is perhaps more relatable because it’s more common, and what earns even more sympathy and underdog points for the protagonist? The hero with the parent who left. Then there’s a whole extra layer of angst and trauma available when your hero can now plague themselves with the question of if the parent leaving is their fault. Death is usually an accident. Choosing to abandon your kid is on purpose.

10. Victim who isn’t victim-blamed or told by their friends (and the narrative) to forgive their abuser

Izuku Midoriya lost so much support from me the moment he told his friend, bearing the consequences of domestic violence across half his face, that Midoriya thinks he’ll be ready soon to forgive his abomination of a father. I am firmly in the “Endeavor is a despicable human and hero” camp and no I’m not taking criticism. I audibly gasped when I heard this line and realized Deku was serious. Todoroki needs friends like the Gaang to remind him that he's allowed to hate the man who's actions caused the burn scar across his f*cking face.

I understand that the mangaka apparently didn’t anticipate the vitriolic backlash toward Endeavor during his debut and reveal of his parenting tactics but the tone-deafness of telling a fifteen year old with crippling emotional management issues and a horrible home life that his abusive dad in any way deserves and is entitled to forgiveness on the grounds of being related is disgusting.

Take it back further to a more famous Tumblr dad: John Winchester. Another despicable human who got retroactively forgiven by his sons after his death in a “he wasn’t so bad, he really did try” campaign. It’s one thing if the character believes it, it’s a whole different matter if the narrative is also pushing this message.

Katara is a perfect example: She lets go of her grudge for her own peace of mind and stops blaming Zuko for something he had no hand in, stops blaming him simply because he’s a firebender and he’s around to be her punching bag. She doesn’t forgive the man who killed her mother, because that man doesn’t deserve her forgiveness. Katara heals in spite of him, not because of him, and had she let him off the hook, she would have gotten an apology for getting caught, not for what he did (which is exactly what happened).

Whether they're dating or not, I love the idea of Karma going to pick up Nagisa at his work and acting like a golden retriever boyfriend in front of the students and teachers, partly because he loves embarrassing Nagisa, and partly because he actually is happy to see him.

He arrives in front of the school at the end of class and everyone's looking at him like "Who's that handsome man and why is he here ?" And of course he loves the attention so he acts all mysterious and cool, but the second Nagisa gets out of the building, Karma's face lightens up and he runs toward him to take him in his arms. He lifts him from the ground and spins on himself with the blue-haired man who's yelling at him to put him down. When Karma finally allows Nagisa to touch the ground again, he immediately gets scolded. Despite that, Karma still shows a huge stupid smile and says "I wanted to see you ~" He claims that Nagisa is cute and pretty and that he can't wait to bring him to the fancy restaurant he picked for them.

When they're finally leaving, Nagisa's colleagues tell him to enjoy his date and Karma says "Thank you !!" before Nagisa can correct them. He's totally chaotic and Nagisa's already exhausted, but Karma is kinda cute when he acts that way so Nagisa can't stay mad for long.

(This is even funnier if you don't really ship them. Karma is just Like That™.)

jjk 0 first year trio

[bitingdrivers]

Daniel hates the lab. He hates the stainless steel, the sharp angles and equipment wrapped in plastic. Everything is white and gray, bright fluorescent lights washing everything out, the purples and blues on pale faces of sleep deprived lab workers adding to the white-gray-blues of the place. Everyone is in a constant hurry, fuelled up on instant coffee and nervous energy, fast walking from one desk to another with a notepad or dragging one of the identical shiny stainless steel tables with them.

It reminds Daniel of a hospital. Of course it does, he thinks. The main difference being that unlike in hospitals, the rooms and tables here are filled with dead bodies or their remains.

Max's office is different. The walls are painted in warm orange, the floor covered with a plush brown carpet and a couple of cozy looking couches. Between them sit a glass coffee table covered in journals and magazines about something Daniel can't even begin to understand.

The walls are lined with cabinets filled with books and binders, glass shelves full of memorabilia from Max's trips and expeditions: a bunch of old and scary-looking skulls, a few small statues and a wooden sculpture that suspiciously looks like a dick.

Max is sitting at his desk, looking at a piece of paper with a tired and bored expression, his blue lab coat a stark contrast to the warm oranges and browns of his office. Daniel is sure that Max would never take his lab coat off, if he could wear it outside of work.

“Hey, Bones,” Daniel says with a short knock on the glass door.

Max looks up, a little startled, but quickly his face takes an expression of annoyance.

“I asked you to not call me that, Daniel.”

“And I told you to call me agent Ricciardo, so there's that. Did you want to see me?” 

Max nods his head at the question.“Yes. I have thought about your offer and came to a decision,” Max says without breaking eye contact, as Daniel steps fully into the room and sits in a plush chair by the desk.

“I agree to working with you and the FBI on solving cases. But—” 

It's Daniel's turn to look annoyed. Of course there's a "but".

“—But. I want to go on the field with you, investigate the scenes, do interrogations,” Max says, touching his fingers as he lists things. But Daniel quickly interrupts him.

“Absolutely not. Bones, don't even think about that.” Daniel stands up and looks down at Max with a stern expression. “This,” he gestures to the space around him, “is your place. The field is my place. What if you get hurt there? Lew will chop off my head with one of his scary blades if you do.”

Max looks up at him with an arched brow.

“You know that I can defend myself. You were there when I did.” And yeah, Daniel was there, saw with his own eyes how Max decked a guy for grabbing his arm.

“And what if you need my help on the field? What if you find remains that need to be assessed as soon as possible, or need my expertise knowledge on human anatomy, or if a suspect speaks one of the many languages you don't know but I do?” - he again taps his fingers at each scenario. 

“And if you are so scared for my safety, I can always learn how to shoot a gun.”

At this Daniel jolts and shakes his head. 

“You will not pick up a gun while I'm alive.” Daniel furrows his brows and looks Max in the eyes. Max looks up at him triumphantly. Daniel sighs. 

“Fine, you can go onto the field with me, but I'm the boss there, right? You will listen to me and follow my lead.” Daniel points to his chest with his thumb as to make the point more clear, but Max isn't listening. His face is split with a smile so big his eyes crinkle. It's like Daniel told him the best news in the world instead of allowing him to potentially get himself killed at work. Still, Daniel returns the smile.

After a moment, Max takes his eyes away from Daniel's face and looks at the time.

“Do you have time? It's my lunch break, maybe we can go grab food together?” If Daniel didn't know him, he would think Max looks nervous.

“Sure, let's go.” Max smiles again and stands up to take off his lab coat. He is wearing a white t-shirt underneath it, but Daniel still looks away.

Remember when we thought JJK was gonna spark a new era of (*cough* revolutionize *cough*) shounen anime/manga?

I wish to go back to those times.

[happyheidi]

Definition: A Heidi panda is an indiscernible cryptic of Scandinavian origin whose deep socketed eyes are reminiscent of a panda's visage from afar. But up close, the resemblance fades, betraying its almost skeletal features. The Heidi panda is is a nocturnal creature who prefers the company of ancient trees and slumbers during the long summers, only emerging in the depths of winter. Human encounters with this elusive creature are rare, resulting little in the way of documented information, lending much to it's almost mythical reputation.

Ok you couldn’t have come up with a better definition!! This is the coolest shit ever!

Thanks for giving my name its own lore (in a way)! This is the funniest and best shit ! lol I love this !! Your mind is just… *chefs kiss* 💋! Hah! YESSSS 🙌 mythical and mystical ! You have no idea how much I love this !

in regards to this

The Heidi Panda lives !!!

TojiShiu Headcanons

Toji likes being fucked hard and rough so sometimes he almost begs Shiu to ruin him, to treat him like a hoe, to destroy that fucking ass. And Shiu also likes that, but sometimes, he wants to remind Toji that he's not a sex doll. So he slows down the rhythm and kisses him softly and says "I love you, I love you, I love you Toji, you're so gorgeous and pretty, you take me so well, you're good to me Toji, let me reward you."

And Toji finds that infuriating because he doesn't deserve to be loved. He doesn't want to "make love" right now, he wants to fucked like a whore. But he can't say anything, Shiu doesn't let him protest, Shiu kisses him again and whispers gentle words against his lips. Shiu strokes his hips nicely instead of scratching them. Shiu lovingly runs his hands over his torso, listing with a sweet voice every part of him he loves. Shiu calmly pounds into him with measured strength, hitting the good spot with sniper precision. Shiu kisses his lips, his cheeks, his forehead, his eyes (and tears), his jaw, his neck, his chest, and his shoulders. "I love you," Shiu says again, "Please let me love you, you're so perfect baby, let me show you" and Toji has to press his hands against his mouth to make him shut up because he can't take it anymore. Toji's crying, overwhelmed by all this love, and finally concedes.

"Alright," Toji stutters as he tries to calm down his flustered heart. It doesn't work very well. He doesn't know what to do with this affection, but he won't deny it anymore. "Alright, you can- Yeah, whatever. Just... make me feel good, 'kay ?"

Shiu smiles against Toji's hand and accelerates the pace. Toji finally lets go of the mouth when Shiu kisses the palm, and the middleman chuckles oh so dearly before he captures Toji's lips again that the sorcerer killer thinks he could die right there. He hates how much he loves it. He answers the kiss as his cheeks are wet with tears and his whole body is burning with pleasure. It's too much, it's too good, and he doesn't want it to stop.

"I love you," Shiu whispers again, then goes to Toji's neck to leave a few lovebites on that pretty skin. "Does it feel good ?"

"Mmh," Toji can't even think straight anymore, he can't see clearly either. "Yeah, s'good, don't stop"

"I won't baby, I promise. I won't ever stop loving you."

Toji can only moan Shiu's name as he cums, so strongly that he thinks he passed out. He needs a while to come to his senses. When he opens his eyes again, Shiu is lying on top of him, watching him with an enamored look and a loving smile, his hand softly stroking the muscular chest. He hasn't pulled out yet and Toji can feel the semen flowing inside him, so he guesses Shiu came quickly after him.

"I hate you," Toji lies as he turns his head because he can't look at this man without being overwhelmed.

Shiu laughs because he knows Toji doesn't mean it. He just can't help it, it makes him soft to see Toji so eager to take his cock. How can he be rough when his man is desperately submissive ? When Toji offers his entire body to Shiu ? Who destroys a gift that is wholeheartedly given ? Of course he'll love it.

"I'm sorry," Shiu says, and it's a lie too.

Toji is his and he will take care of him with all his soul.
