Here are some OFF headcanons centered on elsens that nobody really requested but my friend and I wanted me to write teehee ^_^

Elsens in Zone 2 are really nosy and gossip-prone. However, it isn't malicious-- it's more oriented towards keeping the community safe and alert. In fact, almost all of Bismark is aware of who has damaged what books, besides the Librarian of course-- the culprits are already at risk of getting themself papercuts, it would be so cruel to also get them in trouble too.

Elsens in Zone 3 have a very competitive and toxic work environment. When one elsen succeeds, another elsen is punished. Rations certainly aren't coming out of Enoch-- no, Enoch has it arranged that for every percent increase in rations that one elsen earns, there's a percent decrease for a less productive elsen.

Elsens in Zone 1 have a very cooperative and supportive work environment. The success of one elsen in a district is treated as an inspiration and something to model for the rest of them-- especially if that success gets noticed by Dedan. Dedan might be a loud asshole, but he knows how to make a productive work culture at least-- if only there were clones of Dedan like there are of elsens, he'd be a lot less stressed and pissed off. And unlike in Zone 3, Zone 1's elsens have some days off.

Elsens under the effects of sugar are referred to as "glazed," as opposed to "high" or "stoned." Additionally, that one elsen in Area 1 of Vesper whom we see looking out over the plastic sea was definitely glazed.

I see a lot of people think that wearing the necktie made The Batter be visually perceived as another elsen, but I disagree. The Batter didn't trick the elsens of East Bismark into thinking he's an elsen by wearing a necktie per se; what wearing the necktie really did was give them a sense of security in thinking that somebody there knew the Batter personally and let him borrow their necktie as a way of vouching for him to travel through. That vouching went right out the proverbial window the moment that the Batter began making the elsens there feel ill at ease though.

As a follow-up to the previous headcanon, I also like to think that-- although the valzong-burnt sprite and the overworld elsen sprite stay generic-- there wasn't actually a real prize to winning the Balloon Game in Zone 2's Theme Park, but the elsen in charge of the game knew that prizes were typically rewarded upon completion of those sorts of games, so he'd take off his necktie everytime he had to work the booth just to fix it onto the balloon in the middle. He never imagined that somebody would actually win that prize though, which is another part of why he was so freaked out (and the sound of the balloons popping certainly didn't help his nerves either, even he did know the source.)

Liquid plastic is occasionally referred to as water by the elsens-- primarily the ones of Zone 2 who've read about water in certain books, and then related the concept of water to the liquid plastic that they've got instead. Liquid plastic is not something you want to get on your skin though, and even less, ingest. But you'd find it in the same places you'd find water, so it works out. Reading about touching or ingesting water in books freaks elsens the fuck out though-- combined with the fear of ripping pages, the library might as well be considered full of horror novels.

Elsen clothing is all made of polyester. Thankfully, elsens don't really emit body odor (even when they sweat), though they can accumulate a general funk from where they've been, which they do wash off with a nice metal dust bath. The exception to this is that elsens under immense stress and on the verge of going burnt do have a very slight smell of caramel about them. Burnts themselves have a very strong smell of charred caramel. On that note, the air in Zone 3 can be like a horrible punch to the nostrils to anybody not from there-- especially the farther North in Vesper you get. Sugar consumption can make the sugar smog more tolerable though.

Most elsens do their laundry communally, but some (mostly in Zone 2) prefer to do their laundry themselves and at their own pace. Honestly, everything happens at its own pace in Zone 2, besides trade with the other zones.

Most residents of the Zones, including elsens, make up for a general lack of water by getting all their hydration needs met through consuming meat... Somebody ask me my thoughts on Zone 1 cows please.

Zone 1 elsens tend to stay in their assigned districts for long periods of time, with various promotions scattered throughout. However, if an elsen is starting to become disillusioned or even burnt out with their current stations, there is a process for them to start anew in a different district (though it is lengthy)... Unless they're in Alma, but who would want to leave such a good job?.. Under normal circumstances, your average Shachihata worker can take years to become truly worn thin by their job, but in Alma, it usually only takes a month for the disillusionment and anguish to set in. This is why everybody but those who actually work in Alma sing Alma's praises so high: dead men tell no tales. And a month is not long enough for an elsen to completely deconstruct their preconceived views on Alma (and warn others of the pipedream)-- they'd much sooner just straight-up burn from the sudden influx in disappointment and doubt.

Also, this is not my own headcanon, not at all, but I am 110% a believer in that all the elsens originate from the giant elsen in the Room, forming on that guy like fungus on a log and then falling off... Onto something a bit more original to that though: the other elsens we see in the Room are in direct contact with the big elsen and-- along with having very streamlined, simple routines-- that's why they're so steady and confident. Meanwhile, the vast majority of elsens elsewhere had been taken from their progenitor so quick they can't even remember him, and they remember the Room just barely. So they couldn't even develop that essential part of identity that comes with having a connection to any sort of nurturing figure, though many in Zone 1 have imprinted on Dedan. A few in Zone 3 exalt the Director like that too, though much less directly, and it's almost always from those who have never met the Director. But then you've got the elsens in Zone 2 who've got no guardian that they know of-- no protection nor leadership... Japhet, unlike Dedan and unlike Enoch (who views the elsens more like peons), returned the feeling of kinship though-- which is not so much headcanon as it is canon actually haha.

“Worst Mistake Ever”

Velvet and Veneer have been locked up in prison for about 5 months now. Velvet still feels horrible about the incident, although she's still blaming Veneer about the whole thing. Veneer understood why she put the spotlight on him, but at the same time, it still hurt. Veneer hated to watch his sister sulk around and cry herself to sleep on their shared bunk beds.

It was all until one day Veneer had enough, and decided to finally "confront" Velvet. In the middle of the cafeteria, Veneer grabbed Velvet's arm and pulled her aside. The guards kept watch on them because of their sudden shift in position. Veneer, however, didn't care if they watched or not. He needed to speak with Velvet. With a deep breath, he let himself pour out...

"Listen, Velvet. I'm sorry about everything, but��� it's been months since the incident. You need to move on already."

Veneer tried to seem brave, intimidating by puffing his chest out and standing tall. Although, he couldn't stay like this to his own sister. His sharp tone softened when he saw her annoyed expression. Velvet was looking at him as if he said the stupidest thing ever. Velvet yanked her arm away from his gentle grip, glaring at him.

"Oh, yeah. Thanks for the advice, genius. As if I haven't been trying to move on since that day."

Velvet's voice dripped with sarcasm. Veneer gulps, holding himself as he couldn't bare to look her in the eyes anymore. He whispers to her, trying to back up on his previous words.

"Velvet, I'm sorry- I just-

Veneer flinched back as Velvet snapped at him, throwing her arms up. She couldn't hold in her true emotions towards Veneer; anger, sadness, but most important of all, guilt.

"I don't care, Veneer! You ratted us out! If it wasn't for you being a snitch, we would've still been on top of Mount Rageous to this day!"

Veneer swallowed back his words hearing her tone. He finally looks up at her face, letting go of himself. Veneer stands tall once more, but his confident stance didn't match his nervous stuttering.

"Well, I had to, Velvet! Those trolls would've exposed us anyways!"

Veneer tried to reason with her, attempting to calm her down. He hadn't realized that even though he and Velvet are twins, their though processes aren't exactly the same. Velvet still was hung up on everything, while Veneer was just now starting to move past it. Veneer wanted to go to prison, but she didn't.

Velvet scoffed and shook her head, turning her back on him. She glances down towards the dirty floor, as if finding an excuse to not look into his eyes. Velvet felt her shoulders tense up and her voice get caught up in her throat. She couldn't help but give him the cold shoulder, a common way she'd treat anyone who got too personal or angry at her.

"I'd rather have a bunch of mindless fans listen to some stupid trolls. They probably would've believed us over them...if it weren't for you."

Velvet spat out the words like it was venom. She gave one last look towards Veneer, her eyebrows frowning. She took a final deep breath, before looking over her shoulder. Veneer stared back at her, waiting for what else she had to say.

"Just leave me alone for today, Ven. Okay? I'm not in the mood."

Veneer stares at Velvet as she walked off, going back to her cell. Veneer's shoulders slump over, feeling like a complete idiot now. Veneer let out a small sigh, mumbling under his breath.

"You never are in the mood, sis..."

Veneer dragged his feet over back to the table he was eating at, and sat down. He couldn't bring himself to look or talk to anyone else anymore.

WandaVision and Loki were cool shows for reasons completely unrelated to Marvel and/or the comic book characters. They would've been cool even without the Marvel connection. 'Nuff said.

As a resident multishipper, you sabokoby artwork intrigues me. Please, tell me more, I must indulge myself in another rare pair 👀

i am ALSO a multishipper (even if all i seem to draw is lulaw,,) so i completely understand. my friend bree ( @strawhattery ) is the one who hooked me on sabokoby. her recent fic and the attached list of “what makes her go crazy” rly hits for me!!! thats the dynamic i crave!!

i also know yumi ( @panfriedstar ) is doing her absolute best to populate the ao3 tag, and we should all help her out :)

but what rly made sabokoby click for me was my sister mentioning that theyre like “the fox and the hound” on the same day that bree mentioned them dressing each others wounds with their bandana/cravat.

so my brain went wild and i had a mini storytime in the tags on my comic (here, if u missed them)

in theory, it goes: koby captures sabo. he reaps the reward and praise from the marines.

he's not too worried bc luffy will come! koby won't have to watch them execute another one of luffys brothers. luffy will save him.

and kobys waiting. and waiting. and then a marine says something like “hope we can actually kill this guy without straw hat or one of his friends showing up.”

and in the last minutes, it hits koby that HE’S the friend, isn't he? he's luffys friend whos supposed to save sabo.

so he does. yippee! and stuff happens idk. luffys chilling tho. he's like “nah sabo will be fine. koby is there!”

also i want sabo to kiss koby on the execution platform but that is neither here nor there.

i think, to me, its about how luffy connects them (i am always ready to make ANY SHIP about luffy), and how they both have the same goal, yet also have completely contrasting ways of going about it.

its about the banter and debates as flirting. its about the forbidden, cross-political romance. its about sabo relishing in his ability to fluster koby and then being totally thrown when koby turns it back on him.

please read all of this while imagining me in front of a conspiracy board btw

Do they collect anything?

Blast, of course, collects the mysterious cubes. It’s a hobby and interest of his, as established in canon. However, I think Blast has a very strong interest in finding and collecting anything else mysterious, weird, or unknown. He likes the things that are unknown, but he also understands that they might be dangerous, which is another big reason for him to want to ‘collect’ them. He doesn’t want them to hurt innocent civilians but at the same time, he’s also interested in them because of his own curiosity. They’re puzzles to him and Blast enjoys a good puzzle. On top of that hobby of his and ‘collection’ of his, Blast seems to ‘collect’ the strong. His presence seems to draw the strong to him, which Blast has no problem with!

Tatsumaki can be a proud one. Nowhere else is her vanity more shown than her little collection, though it’s not a collection that is well-known to almost everyone. There aren’t many people who get close enough to Tatsumaki to be allowed to see within her personal spaces, which is where she stores her collection. She collects her own merchandise. It reminds her how proud she deserves to be and she loves the visible proof of how strong, terrifying, and adored as a hero she is. Given how important her sister is to Tatsumaki and how much Tatsumaki does love Fubuki, she also collects each and every piece of merchandise for her sister that she can get her hands on.

Kamikaze collects the usual thing that most would expect him to collect. That is, of course, that he collects swords. He doesn’t just collect any old sword, of course. That would defeat the purpose and he sees no point in just picking up any old hunk of metal in a sword shape. He collects any swords that are unique in nature, shape, structure, etc. The really beautiful ones he displays as one might display a spectacular piece of art because that is indeed what they are to him. During his younger and cockier (if that’s even a possibility) days, Kamikaze would also have a tendency to collect the swords of his defeated opponents, as one might collect spoils of war. However, he also has a more mundane, everyday kind of collection. Kamikaze is the type who just kind of collects wet wipes, the ones that restaurants give out with meals, the little prepackaged ones. It wasn’t even meant to be a collection. He just always takes a couple, more than he uses, and he never throws them out because he feels like they’ll come in useful. It’s at the point where he’s got enough to last him for a couple years, using one several times a day, but he still can’t bring himself to throw them out.

Bofoi collects technology. He’s been doing so for ages. He’s always collecting the newest technology and gets especially excited over technology that he isn’t fluent with or things that he hasn’t ever seen before. They become obsessions for him and, once he has them in his grasp, he can’t stop himself. He pushes past his limits; he stays up for days at a time. He stops remembering to eat, doesn’t think about his hygiene. Everything, and I do mean everything for Bofoi is now contained in this new and unknown piece of technology, until he has it figured out and mastered. It’s obsession to a complete and unhealthy level. He doesn’t throw out any of his collection once he does figure them out though, not only because they can be very useful, but because he likes looking at them. He likes remembering them, how he discovered or came across them, the long hours he enjoyed with them as he cracked the secrets behind them. Just looking at or holding them brings him back to moments in his life that were precious to him and to discard any of his collection would impact him emotionally, quite an unusual thing for Bofoi, who typically doesn’t get that emotionally attached to ‘things’.

King collects video games. While he definitely collects specific games because he’s really in love with them or the franchise they’re a part of, he also collects video games he’s never heard of or ones from varying genres that he finds for a good price. He picks up a lot of games from pawn shops, thrift stores, and yard sales because he can find them for amazing prices and he’ll grab what looks good to him, and then he just picks five at random that he’s never heard of and knows nothing about. He finds it’s a good way to diversify his gaming experience, for one, and helps him become a better-rounded gamer. Because of this collection of his, King also tends to collect video game consoles. He has his mainstays that he uses all the time, but he also has an impressive collection of retro gaming consoles, like the Atari, Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, as well as discontinued consoles like the Nintendo Wii and PS Vita.

Pig God collects menus. Not only does he collect the regular take-out menus from the places he likes to eat at, but he collects special menus as well. He prints off and makes nice menus from restaurants that he one daydreams of eating at or that are famous for some reason, from the mundane mom and pop type restaurants to the Michelin star rated restaurants that do full eleven-course meals. For restaurants that he’s been to that aren’t his normal ones, where he’s been really impressed with the chef’s food, on top of tipping exceptionally good, he requests and offers to pay for a copy of the place’s menu to add to his collection. He especially does this for places where he’s gone with people he considers his ‘friends’ or people he considers important to him, because the menus will bring up such pleasant memories of them all eating together.

Flashy Flash doesn’t put a lot of emphasis on things. He doesn’t need a lot of material things in his life to be happy and he tends to be pretty minimalistic in both his living spaces and in the way he lives his life. Because of this, he doesn’t have a particular collection. It’s just incompatible with how he likes to live. He has tried, but it just ends up with him giving away or throwing away the collection he has built up, because it’s simply become clutter to him.

Genos doesn’t have anything he currently collects. There’s not a lot of extra space in the apartment, for one thing, and there’s nothing that he’s really, really into to the point where he feels the need to find even the unused space in a corner to really collect that thing, even in a small way. There’s definitely things Genos is interested in, things he adores and wants, things he likes, but none of them are what you would call a collection. This wasn’t always the case though. When he was a kid, Genos would collect both hero merchandise of a hero he’d really liked but his biggest collection was fridge magnets. His parents fridge was absolutely covered in them. He doesn’t remember exactly why he liked them so much or why they were so important to him. There was just something about them his little four-year-old self loved and that’s when his collection started. He kept finding them and getting them for himself when one amused him or he liked the looks of it, but a lot of them were gifts from others who had learned of his little ‘collection’.

Puri-Puri collects people. To be more specific, he collects people, mostly men, that he considers to be attractive. For men he considers handsome, whether they be criminals, other prisoners, or even some heroes, if he can beat them or sway them to stay by his side by choice, he collects them to add to his personal harem, something he’s always wanted since he was young. Monogamy has never been a thing for Puri-Puri; he’s someone who needs romantic variety so that harem is something he considers to be more worthwhile than just about anything. In return for those people being added to his harem, Puri-Puri will go out of his way to protect them and take care of them, so it’s not entirely one-sided. However, as mentioned, it’s not exclusively males. I just think Puri-Puri likes to surround himself with people who are physically pleasing to him and he will have collected a few female or nonbinary individuals whose looks and aesthetics are very pleasing to him, who will be, in actuality, his friends, but in his words are part of his ‘collection.’ He’s always really enthused to add to his collection and is always on the lookout for new examples of beauty.
