#this just turned into me ranting with headcanons

[kanrix]

AGE REGRESSION CLAY HEADCANON TIME OOO BOY.. I may or may not have some yapping to do about this..

First off, I saw the 2 tags specifically on the answer you gave that caught my attention. I do feel Clay definitely bites his nails or his thumb.. With age regression (spoken from someone who has an issue with this) I definitely think he does suck his thumb or gnaw at it a little if he's overstimulated in a way.. specifically in fetal position. I may just be saying this out of solely what I do but.. yeah.

The whole urine thing as well. I think like the bed wetting definitely has something to do with age regression and bladder issues due to overuse of alcohol, being a responsive thing that just kind of happens reflexively.. most likely with a nightmare or something.

Also think he does things subconsciously while he's asleep like for one, clinging onto his pillow as well as tossing and turning. I think he gets restless while asleep, and maybe that's why he ends up responding that way. (bed wetting, being restless, etc.)

There's another thing that could fall into the restless category but I may return to that sometime after this ask.

I don't really want to get into the egg thing because. first off since its uncomfortable a bit for me to talk about myself and. also since Sinvilles could do a better analyzation post about it than anyone, i fear.

with clays hair curl I have a few random things with that. that could very likely be tagged on with this in a way maybe. I think he may have had a habit of twirling that thing a bit..

I think he had issues at school with bullying and constantly tried to get attention and make himself the rage bait.. clearly it ends up working. He'd go home bloodied a lot to Aurther and he'd brush it off, not care, almost scold him for it, but then stopping himself, pretend not to notice, or just not notice entirely.

which made clays sacrifice rant happen, specifically because he wanted that attention again and wasn't able to get. which maybe could be why he kept his distance from Orel, just because of how his father was absent for a while after giving clay old gunny. and he didn't want to look at Orel because he felt mad at Orel and himself a little because he wasn't 'Man' enough and Clay himself couldn't make him something he saw himself in. so it made him feel the need to be distant with something he didn't feel connected to, felt more like Blobertas child than his own.

"weak, and passive. and ultimately broken by the ones who were made the fittest!! and that through your weaknesses you built up a poison.. that poisoned others around you.. that you loved. and the only true justice was to let those dominant jackals feed on you.. survive of you."

I truly believe he was age regressing here. back to when he would try so desperately to get his fathers attention that he craved and somehow failed no matter what he did. and he let everyone pick on him and make himself stand out specifically because it would make him feel at least some sort of affection other than being ignored. negative attention is still attention nonetheless right?

There's still more too it than that I just need more time to get my thoughts collected..

extra little side note ::

with clays hair curl I have a few random things with that age regression that could very likely be tagged on with this in a way maybe. I think he may have had a habit of twirling that thing a bit..

Clearly the more reasoned option being he snipped off a chunk of his hair when he was younger so it just never grew out enough and it just kinda just wouldn't stay back.. either that or he does his hair every morning and tries to make his hair perfect every morning cuz he's kind of a freak when it comes to that I think..

I know there's a lot of people out there that think Dark and Light should have a romantic relationship, but, hear me out...

Twin siblings. Make 'em twin brothers. Yin and yang, what have you, but they're basically total opposites in some very key ways. One example, Dark is easily flustered and takes things to heart a lot. Light is more unflappable and clearly settled into his own skin. Makes arguments the most frustrating things ever for Dark given that he'll be all ready to bleed off the resentment he has from being thought of as 'the bad one' and Light just, doesn't match his energy. Doesn't get mad. Absolutely sees the projection for what it is, and Dark is just no no no no I wanna be pissed off at something LET ME BE PISSED OFF!

And meanwhile Light's like sure, man, you can be pissed, but not at me because my existence isn't what's wrong here. We both know you're not mad because of ME specifically.

And Dark gets huffy because he's not gonna be able to correct all instances of nyctophobia on planet Earth. Though Light lets him rant a bit anyway because, hey, better than the guy stewing in private.

But yeah, sibling snarkiness and in-jokes. Silliness. 'Oh remember that time when you-' quickly followed by 'WE SAID WE WERE NEVER SPEAKING OF THIS AGAIN AND HERE YOU ARE SPEAKING OF IT'. Occasional moments of Twins being Twins.

Also moments like:

Some Random Entity: So, who's older?

Dark: We're twins, it doesn't matter.

Light: Me.

Dark: BY ONE SECOND---Also, yeah, doesn't matter. Still twins.

Light: [picture of nonchalant innocence here]

Hear me out on Argenti x Boothill x Robin

Because why does this work so well???

I see a lot of people torn between Robinhill and Argenthill and I say why not combine them?! Best of both worlds! And Boothill ig.

I feel like Argenti and Robin will talk about skin care and hair care and what not with each other and Boothill will just sit next to them knowing damn well he didn’t wash his hair in like 5 years or smth.

Robin would tell Sunday that she’s dating Argenti but not mention anything about Boothill because Sunday probably has some respect for the knights of beauty and is sure that he’ll treat his sister well and Boothill is… Boothill.

They’re literally gorgeous partners and their ugly groom.

They make me sick but I can’t stop thinking about them.

Argenti and Robin definitely do Boothill’s hair every now and again and make sure he’s actually taking care of himself and keeping himself clean and shit.

During the winter Argenti and Robin cuddle up to Boothill almost all the time because he’s so warm and even though he can’t really feel their bodies he sometimes wishes it was winter all the time so they would always cuddle like that.

Argenti and Boothill probably have to go away for long periods of time because of their jobs but they will always make sure to stop by a Robin concert if there happens to be one nearby.

Both Argenti and Boothill suffer from nightmares of their past, they’ve both gotten used to it but when it gets really bad Robin will sing them a lullaby to help them calm down.

That’s all for now, goodnight.

while i'm on my armand/claudia/madeline bullshit, i always feel it's necessary to be clear how strong armand knows his blood is. madeline would have been a terrifyingly strong vampire with few vampires that could actually pose a threat to her.

and armand is a vampire who lived through ww2 paris. giving strong blood to someone who probably sees him as lesser ( by how she treats him and also his assumptions of her ideology ) is a really fucked up idea for him. ASIDE from the fact that he doesn't want to make anyone, period. technically it's in violation of the great laws bc he's so strong.

he thinks it will also fuck up louis too and that fucks him up. i think there's so many reasons he's so upset by her turning.

[blazethecheeto]

hey hi this might just be my obsession with her but hey. what happened to caitlin's screentime. i miss her. i miss when she had relevant plot and the writers cared about her and didn't just show up to say some science exposition then disappear for another two episodes.

i thought she was one of the main characters. LIKE SHE IS. it just feels like they forgot almost every plot point they have with her until the next caitlin centric episode. whcih gets more and more sparse each season.

s6 was actually brutal, she had virtually no screentime or episodes, it was all about frost, which i get that they wanted to do something different, but caitlin shouldn't have been completely pushed aside. like, i feel like after s4, they didn't know what to do with caitlin. if she doesn't have a love interest or her storyline with frost, they have no idea what to do with her plot.

so they don't include her at all.

WHICH PISSES ME OFF? BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH. SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR CAITLIN STORYLINES THAT DON'T INCLUDE FROST.

those brief, beautiful moments where she gets a chance to shine or have her angst, like when the flashbacks showed her getting fucking run over??? by her dad?? which she repressed for 20 years??? and that's not good plot material for the writers??

in 7x08, when caitlin just breaks down because she doesn't want to live a life without frost?? 2x22 when caitlin thinks she sees jay everywhere and is terrified?

they have an actual goldmine of a character with built-up plot and lore and angst and personality and she's literally my favourite flash character ever and they just. push her aside.

they have deleted scenes of really good caitlin stuff with danielle acting her ass off and they just scrap it because hey we actually wanna see more of another wells or cecile or allegra or whoever they decide to focus on today :3

guys i promised myself this wouldn't be an anti-flash rant, istg im just so sad. i love caitlin. i love frost. i love their storylines.

it just sucks the show doesn't seem to think they matter.

[athamad]

I'm not a mean person, l swear I'm not, but when l see any type of post or content calling a male character from Greek mythology 'bad'... l can't help myself but rant in my head (...and maybe in the hashtags...) and one of these days I'm going to go insane

[aimless-passerby]

Need a separate list of fics where hobbits don't praise Yavanna on each occasion 😭

[youngpettyqueen]

Genuine question alert ! Where you talking about specific characters in your 'bastardize the female character to male the male character gay' post?

yes! I could cite a ton of different instances but that post specifically is about BJ and Peg Hunnicutt, who are very in love and have a healthy relationship and a daughter, but Peg is often shoved aside or otherwise bastardized/villainized to push Hunnihawk as a ship because people really dont want to acknowledge that BJ is married and in love

[amazinglyegg]

YOOO TREVOR IT'S BEEN A SEC

got any transman carrington material you'd like to share ? i am absolutely dying to hear if you've got any funky headcanons i could possibly add to my ✨ extensive ✨ collection

TRANSMASC CARRINGTON!!!

I'M VERY SICK ATM SO HOPEFULLY THIS IS ALL COHERENT!!!

Must be so easy for him because he's a doctor. He can get his own hormones.

Being trans is just easier post-war in general

Fuck off with the waitlists and doctors notes and document changes and gatekeeping

It's just "hey doc I don't want tits anymore" "alrighty then" *chainsaw revs*

Okay maybe not that fast but. Yknow.

Only takes like 5 minutes tops to get hrt as long as the doctor has it on them

That being said, would surgery be feasable in the wasteland?

With how long healing is and with how dangerous the wasteland is it would probably only be possible for people living in major cities

I feel like Carrington wouldn't feel comfortable with other doctors in general, especially for surgery

I imagine him as kind of a stickler for health and sanitation and doctor Crockers floor is literally drenched in old blood

Maybe he'd trust Amari because the Railroad trusts her but because of the long healing time and his importance to the Railroad he wouldn't bother

He's pretty good at sewing though (as most of the wasteland is) so he's sewn his own binders

Probably in neutral colors but he has at least one binder that Deacon tie-dyed rainbow

Started T because people kept assuming he was a teenager (he's probably pretty short) and he got sick of it

(Now Deacon calls him "old man" to bug him)

Very giddy when he got to shave for the first time

Doesn't bother to come out to people really at all

I don't think coming out is as common in the Wasteland because like, everyone is some flavor of queer

So Carrington is in that middle ground where he's not hiding his identity but he's not going to bother telling people unless it's important and/or comes up in conversation

He WILL chew out anyone who makes transphobic comments on other queer Railroad members though

[soupinaboot]

For the love of God, if you are writing a story or a movie or anything like that, please do NOT title it the name of the main character. Do you have any idea what it is like trying to find good content about them? It's fucking hard.

[mejomonster]

I absolutely love the part of slow burns where people have some level of attraction or draw to each other but are also not close enough to either fall in love/open up/trust whatever

And I am absolutely eating up Silent Reading in part because of how good it's slow burn is

Yes give me love rivals where one raised the other, and the other is projecting a need for emotional security on the remaining person who raised him but it's who the first one likes (and is also projecting a need for love in that romantically unavailable man), even Tao Ran who's got no crush has been playing along on some level with both the others serving as a surrogate parent, lover, partner, and delaying his own life moving on into building those things separate from the two as well. Leaving a trio of absolutely hilariously stalled individuals that time is also mercilessly Making move forward. Mercilessly Fei Du gets older and wants actual romantic love not just a safe harbor (tho he wants that too), want to fuck someone, Tao Rans getting older and does want an actual partner he comes home to and has a baby with at some point, and Luo HAD both those niches filled by Fei Du and Tao Ran so as they start kicking in gear and "moving on" toward something else he's left floundering. Left to latch onto Fei Du, who's also latching onto him, because they're both part of that past stable situation they all had and both a bit men of habit and clinging when it comes to loved ones and both take after each other a Bit too much. And life keeps on moving and changing and oh no Fei Du has decided, there's the rarest chance if the earth collapses, he might wanna smooch Luo Wenzhou. And Luo Wenzhou realizes, oh no he's not immune to Fei Dus charms (not like Tao Ran was immune to them both lol), and so the both of them Know at some point they need to go out and date and "meet people" Now that Tao Ran has split from the Triangle found family/relationships they wanted, but that requires a level of vulnerability they're not used to so it's easier to cling to what they have left with each other just a while longer. They don't wanna lose that too. But they ARE losing that too because like Fei Du says, time is always moving forward and changing and its impossible to stop. And love slowly blossoms. And in the midst of it blossoming they're not aware, then aware and resisting, then aware and curious, then aware and terrified, vulnerable, hopeful, and the merciless passing of time is continuing to drive then forward to Something but they've got no fucking idea what except it feels both inevitable as they've always clung together, and like the smallest possibility in the world and they're amazed it's happening for better or worse.

And like. That's just a big chunk of early Silent Reading books Fei Du/Luo wenzhou dynamics. This slow burn that both feels inevitable because of how much they'd already influenced who each other are and meshed into each other's lives, but also so lucky and surprising and they can't decide if they're going to cling to the new change instead or dart back scared into the old that is falling apart on them anyway.

while  i’m  thinking  about  girl  dad  v.ictor  van  d.ort  or  whatever  ,  victoria  &  victor  will  never  give  any  of  their  daughters  the  name  ‘ emily ’  too  confusing.  instead,  their  eldest’s  middle  name  is  emily  so  they  can  honor  her  but  it’s  not  confusing  in  conversations  about  either  of  them

[sunflowersred]

do ya have an specific type of dynamic for shankslu? like a simplified version of how they should act with eachother (and then intricate it depending on events and such) or just work with the flow?

I never think in terms of “should” when considering ship dynamics. I’ve developed this attitude for two reasons.

first, let me try to explain how this relates to shankslu specifically. for me, part of the fun of shipping shankslu right now in this very moment is because they have not yet met again. so, we don’t know precisely what their relationship will be like when they do. to me, that makes this ship a sandbox where I can imagine and create whatever I want. it’s a very unique ship, in that sense, and I just love it.

I’m still working with the sand Oda has put in the box and the little buckets and shovels he’s given me, but even so the nature of their relationship and their bond in the canon, and how important they are to each other, lends to so many possibilities. Shanks is very special to Luffy, and when writing this ship it’s with Shanks that I personally find I can explore emotions with Luffy that we don’t usually see much from him, like shyness (as is (and will be) the case with my fic “for i am love-sick” sigh). on the other hand, at this moment Shanks is still quite mysterious, which makes him a very flexible character to work with. I find write explore possible dynamics with them to my hearts content—because shanks and luffy haven’t met yet, anything is possible! so:

🌈✨imagination✨🌈

to explain it a little more broadly: whenever I am creating, when I start thinking in terms of “should,” I find it mostly stifling. I write fanfiction to explore themes and emotions, and when I think in terms of “could” instead of “should” it frees me up to, basically, do whatever I want! as a fanfiction writer, while a lot of what I write about stems from moments in the canon, or are expansions of themes and emotions that are already there, as a creator I very purposefully don’t let my own love for the material I’m working with hold me back. I am already being irreverent toward the source material by making Mr. Oda’s protagonist and his self-insert smooch, etc. why then would I not push myself to my own creative limits and write something, say, like “heart shaped bed”?

as for the other reason: having this attitude helps me be a good member of my fan community. there is a long and repetitive history in fandom writ large of shippers who even ship the same ship arguing over “right” and “wrong” interpretations and ship dynamics, how ships and characters “should” and “shouldn’t” be written. frankly, I hate that shit. I hate how I’ve seen it tear shipping communities and whole fandoms apart. I love shipping shankslu! when I started shipping shankslu, it felt like I was the only one in the world who shipped them. now, three years later, there are more shankslu shippers than ever—I just hit 400 followers on Twitter, which I’m not saying as a brag, I’m saying as in, I never imagined there would be that many people interested in shankslu. we have the server, I get to chat with other shippers—it’s more than I ever dreamed. each one of them are different and they each create their own works with their own visions and interpretations.

I’m not gonna turn around and say to any one of them, “no, you’re doing it wrong. this is how it should be.” you know? like. imagine if I did that.

(and to go back to not letting anything hold me back, whenever other fans try to push their “should” on me, I block them, simple as that.)

it’s not to say I don’t have my preferences while writing and dreaming over shankslu; I personally tend toward headcanons and I usually write fic where they are the type of tender for each other bards have been singing of for centuries, of all the facets of his character I often focus most on Luffy’s emotional intelligence, and whenever I’m writing Shanks I usually write him as a good man or at least a man who wants to and/or is trying to be good. that is just what speaks to me. but I know there are fans out there who are, for example, more into a version of Shanks where he is a bad man, and does not feel bad about not being good, and that’s fine! I live by “lushanks agenda” and some shippers I chat with see Luffy as a fixed bottom, and that’s fine! I often read those works, and whether or not the interpretation is something I would write, I still talk to the fans who make those works about their thoughts and interpretations, and as a fellow fan I support and encourage their creativity. my version of these characters and what I’m writing is not any more important or valid than that which anyone else has.

so yes, to answer your question! I just go with the flow—both when writing out my own works and ideas, and when talking to other shippers about theirs. while i certainly have preferences and enjoy some things over others and have themes and dynamics and characterizations I return to, I leave “should” out of it. and I think I’m a more neighborly fan and a happier and better creator for it.

The Princes

Ten years later. When marrying a Prince turns a Queen and a Servant into actual Royalties.

Because Vil deserves a real crown and Jamil deserves to be treated better.

NOW I'M GONNA RANT ABOUT MY CHARA DESIGNS CHOICES AND ALL THE DISCOVERIES I MADE WHILE LOOKING FOR REFS! If you only care about art and funny doodles, you can scroll down for a handful of slices of life.

(Don't worry if you can't read my notes, I'm repeating myself better right under this)

Leona

-Lion: As you may know, one of my grievances with Leona is how his hair doesn't look like an actual mane despite being a lion. While I don't want to stray too far from the canon design with the usual drawings, that's the occasion for me to have some fun with a future version. Give that lion a beard and voluminous hair!

-Hair: First, get those bangs out of his face. Despite Leona being very confident, he still has bangs covering his scarred eye. I wanted him to finally own the aspects of him that may be scary to others (his UM, his scar, etc). I actually went with bangs framing his face similar to the ones he had during his Overblot. I wasn't sure whether to give him dreadlocks or curly hair, but I ended up choosing the free curls decorated with some atebas and braids so that Vil could have more fun styling them.

-Eye: Thanks @aria-faye for the idea, I decided to have his eye gradually lose its capacities with time. From a headcanon that, while the eye wasn't directly touched by whatever attack scarred him, the process of healing still had an impact on it and he gradually lost sight in his left eye years after years.

-Body: Not giving him a dad bod (yet, maybe in another ten years), but definitely giving him more voluminous yet casual muscles. Practical muscles with a healthy dose of fat and tissues. Also giving him two full sleeves of tattoos because I decided he should have much more than just his lion tattoo.

-Clothes: Went full Maasai dressing and Kenyan fabrics and beadworks. If you're not familiar with it, please go check it out, it's GORGEOUS!! Crown is beadwork too. He also has one Arabic styled foot jewellery.

Jamil

-Hair: My first order was to remove his double-faced hairstyle and also remove his bangs from his eye. Make him confident enough to show his whole face. Unlike Leona and Vil, he doesn't really want a crown though (he still feels weird about becoming royalty) so instead he uses a braid as crown. Also gave him a little goatee because I like facial hair and Jafar has a beard too.

-Body: He grew up! While he didn't quite catch up with Leona and Vil, he is now closer to their sizes than before, sitting at around 180cm. He kept his breakdancer/martial artist lean muscles but developed a bit of shoulders.

-Clothes: Went full Arabic dressing and fabrics (once more, go check the fabrics, they are pieces of arts). I gave him floral motifs instead of his usual fire/snake motifs (though he does have a snake earring and a fangs necklace) to symbolise his rebirth/blooming. Like Leona, he has one piece of jewellery that is beadwork.

Vil

-Hair: Here it was a bit tricky. Considering Vil's work, he likely changes hairstyles a lot, going from long to short for his roles instead of his wants. So I leaned into the little things he could add to his hair despite their constant changes, mostly jewelleries, beadworks and wool decorations he stole from his husbands. He also cares a bit less about them looking perfect and is allowing himself to be more natural. He doesn't have any facial hair (yet), keeping a youthful appearance for as long as he can. In another ten years though, he might start looking more and more like his father, beard included.

-Clothes: For Leona and Jamil's mental states, the three of them most likely started living in Sunset Savanna so they wouldn't freeze to death. Vil is well traveled so he can handle most temperatures without trouble, and he is used to dressing up in the local get ups. Here I decided to give him both African dress and Arabic fabric, and likewise both beadwork and golden jewellery. I gave him crown and heart motifs so he can keep being himself despite borrowing a lot from his husbands.

There, I'm done rambling. Here's some doodles, followed by some random headcanons.

-Vil does his husbands hair every morning and keeps giving them more and more intricate hairstyles. He developed a whole haircare and beard-care products set for them.

-When Vil is away for a movie, Jamil keeps his hair mostly down save for a few accessories.

-Jamil and Falena get along surprisingly well (to Leona's despair). Vil gets along very well with Falena's wife.

-Jamil acts as a Scalding Sands ambassador and still is the one to care for Kalim when he comes to visit, though this time he's doing it because he wants to and not because he has to.

-Vil got used to his new title immediately but Jamil struggles with it a lot. He still has a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that he is no longer a servant.

-The servants at the palace love Jamil because he always makes their job easier.

-Leona finally decided to put his wits to good use and became Falena's advisor. He still fights a lot with Kifaji about the direction to take with the country, but he managed to make some of his ideas heard to help with the staggering inequalities in the country.

That's all for now!

can you do a phantom troupe headcanon of how each member would talk about their s/o to other troupe members?

・✶ ｡ﾟTALKiNG ABOUT THEiR S/O — phantom troupe

contains: g/n reader, not proofread, 0.4k wc

CHROLLO

He talks about you in the same manner he would recall a good dream. Feint smile on his lips and an almost dazed look in his eyes

You'd think a spell was casted on this man with the way his demeanor changes when talking about you

Humble as he may be he can't help but brag about you when the opportunity presents itself

His s/o is just perfect in his eyes, he can't help it !!

FEITAN

Is very possessive over you

"Y/n? Who's that? Don't know what you're talking about.."

In a perfect world nobody but Feitan would know of you and he could have you all to yourself

I feel like Feitan would rarely entertain conversations with you as the topic and almost never brings you up

Not ashamed of you at all, he just prefers to keep to himself especially with something so personal

SHALNARK

He is talking about you to ANYONE that will listen

Even if they aren't listening he's still gonna talk to be honest

The troupe is genuinely so fed up with Shalnark because he is physically incapable of holding a conversation without going on an off topic rant about you

"The boss wants the red ones? Alright.. hey speaking of red, Y/n-"

Nothing but high praise about you when your name comes out his mouth

NOBUNAGA

Relatively chill when it comes to speaking about his s/o

Has no qualms with talking about you but honestly he doesn't seem like the type to turn the conversation about you if it isn't relevant

However when he does speak about you, it's always in such an endearing tone <3

ILLUMI

Possessive as a mf but not quite like Feitan

Whenever he's talking about you its always "my lovely y/n" this "my dearest y/n" that. (emphasis on the my)

Is ready to interrogate anyone that brings you up for quite frankly no reason

He makes sure everyone in the conversation knows you're his without a doubt

UVOGIN

Would probably make a shirt saying 'ask me about my s/o' with a picture of your face plastered on it if he knew how

Another one prone to ranting about his s/o more than wanted but he honesty can't help it

He probably wants you by his side 24/7 so you get to hear firsthand how highly he thinks of you which is honestly flustering

With the way Uvogin talks about you one would think you're royalty

✧˖° first dates with them. | lingyang, m!rover, jiyan headcanons.

⋆ ˚☁️ ⁀➴ synopsis: going on a first date is always nerve wracking, yet can also be exciting! what's it like for these boys to take you out on your first date together?

⋆ ˚☁️ ⁀➴ characters involved (separate): lingyang, male rover, jiyan, and a gender neutral reader.

⋆ ˚☁️ ⁀➴ warnings: none!

⋆ ˚☁️ ⁀➴ notes: hello! coming to you live with my first post for wuwa! just some cute little headcanons with the boys on first dates with you because i love planning dates out ;;!! requests are open if you want to talk or have me write something!! ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈♡)

Lingyang

Lingyang has never been more excited or nervous to hang out with someone, even more so since this was his first date with you. 

As someone who always seemed to fear being different from the humans around him, he felt extra self-conscious when he looked in the mirror and adjusted his outfit. Did he look alright? Were you going to enjoy this as much as he thought he would? Will everything go well? What if you decided you changed your mind and didn’t want to date someone of his species?

His first date gift for you would be a small lion plushie. Cute and fluffy with vibrant colors, he’d hold it out in front of him and shut his eyes tight, anxiety flowing through him. “These are for you! That way, when you miss me, you can hug this! If you want to, no pressure!” 

He’d be ecstatic when you took it into your hands and held it throughout your date together, happily looking between you and the plush and feeling his cheeks turn a rosy pink that you two were going out together. 

He’d probably take you to the best food spots all around Jinzhou, ranting about which dishes to try or who had his favorite foods. He’d want to get to know you more, curious and nervous as he’s asking you about your likes, dislikes, what your daily life is like in Jinzhou. Lingyang would walk and eat with you along the way, practically enamored by anything you did or said. 

His tail would swish fast back and forth whenever you were talking. Even if it’s something you found mundane, he couldn’t help but be happy just listening to you speak. His ears will also be very reactive around you, usually up but always reacting accordingly to whenever you’d tell a story or joke with him. 

He’ll let you pet him if you want to, he trusts you after all. His cheeks flush a soft pink and he lets out a small purr when you do so, finding himself growing a bit shyer at the sweet touch. He also feels a tad embarrassed by it, so you’ll have to pry his hands away as he childishly hides the way he’s turning red from you. 

He seems a little bit sad when you two do have to part, but when you ask him when the next one would be, a hopeful look emerges in his eyes as he begins to excitedly make plans to see you again and take you on another date. 

Other Points:  - Will jump in place when super excited to tell you something while on the date.  - Would point to some random cute things on your walk and go, “That reminds me of you!” - Happy to talk about lion dancing with you, and if you show more interest in it, he’ll offer to give you your own personal show one day!

Rover (Male)

Considering he is a person that just woke up in a strange world with no memories of his past or who he is, he is a bit lost on the idea of what to do during a date with you. Were there rules he had to follow? Did people in Jinzhou have certain taboos or ways that they executed dates?

He’d most likely ask all around the city in order to find out what to do or where to take you. He wanted to make sure the experience was good after all, not something that the both of you would dread. 

When he meets up with you, his hair is a bit more put together than usual and he stands up tall, giving you a small smile as he gently takes your arm and links it with his. 

“Take me around the city. Show me how you see the world through your eyes.”

His first date gift would be a small box of candy. I could definitely see Rover as being a person who likes small sweet treats as a guilty pleasure, and he’d want to share them with you as a way of connecting you with something that you love. 

He’s calm throughout most of your stroll, browsing through stores or looking around in quiet curiosity as you show him little nooks and crannies of the city. He enjoyed hearing how you would describe stores or fixate on different areas of the city that he hadn’t thought to really pay attention to before. 

He makes a mental note of the places that you like so that for your next date, you two could come back to them. Rover is already a few steps ahead in terms of thinking where he wants to go with you or what he wants to do. 

When you’re done showing him the city, he’ll give you a kind, endearing look and smile at you. He’ll take a moment to just admire you, shifting some of your hair out of your face and enjoy being in your presence before ultimately, it is time to part ways. He’ll wave you off, thanking you for everything and giving him a tour, before he smiles to himself like a fool and turns to head back to his quarters. 

Other Points: - Probably would be looking at you more than the city.  - Fast walker, so you’d have to keep up the pace. Apologies if he’s going too fast and happens to catch you struggling. - Will inquire about certain places just to listen to you talk. 

Jiyan

As the general of the Midnight Rangers that conducts himself in a poised, righteous manner, he’d be the most classy out of all the people to take you out on a date. 

Jiyan’s got a busy schedule as the head of such an important group in Jinzhou, but after bonding with you and asking you out he wanted to ensure that he carved out time in advance for just you and him to spend an afternoon together. 

He’d take you to a fancy restaurant in Jinzhou, the best money can buy. He’d be sure to pick you up from your place and walk with you to the restaurant. When you open the door, he’s standing in front of you with his hair slicked back and ponytail waving a bit in the wind, his clothes pristine and ironed out to look his absolute best in front of you. 

His present for you is a bouquet of flowers he made himself. He enlisted the help of his mom for this one, catching up with her about medical practices as he puts together the best pecok, irises, and poppies that he could find when he was out on his rounds into a pretty bouquet just for you. It’s wrapped up with brown paper and has a nice aqua bow on it, matching his hair.

When you get to the restaurant, he’ll look at the menu with you and ask you to order anything your heart desires. He already knows what he wants to eat, and will quietly look at you with a softened expression as you begin choosing what you want. He finds the way you handle yourself beautiful, even if it’s through simple things like ordering food. 

Jiyan will happily eat anything you don’t end up finishing. He doesn’t want to waste money, and he also cannot deny that the way you ask him to finish your plate was cute. He’ll work it off anyways with the amount of fighting and training he does, so he doesn’t mind. 

Will pay for the meal. No splitting or you paying, as much as you might plead and beg.

Will take you back to your place and entertain any questions you may have for him, whether it be about his past, missions he’s been on, or just about his duties as general of the Midnight Rangers. When he drops you off, he’d take the back of your hand and gently place a kiss on it before standing up straight and giving you a small smile, wishing you a goodnight. 

Other Points: - Will hold all your belongings so your hands are free and light. Does not matter how heavy or how much you have, he will refuse to let you “labor” like that, as he puts it.  - Admires your personality and the way you hold yourself when you speak. - Has a strong desire to protect you; always subconsciously keeping an eye out for any danger even though it’s daylight out.
