is meow what i think it is 🤭

EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

yes eva it is indeed what u think it is. for everyone else i have this fic where charles is sort of sometimes a cat. snippet under the cut!

“Carlos.”

A beat of silence.

And then another. 

“Carlos.”

Still nothing.

The silence continues.

“That’s a cat.”

“Fantastic observation.”

“Carlos. You hate cats.”

Carlos looks defensive, offended even. The kitten meows disapprovingly. If possible, he tucks it in even closer to himself. Lando stares. Carlos clears his throat. “Well I don’t hate this one.”

Lando stares a little bit more. “Where the fuck did you even get that. No, wait, when did you get that? When did this psychotic episode start?”

“Don’t you think that’s a little–“

“God, did you steal someone’s cat because you felt some sort of cosmic connection?” Lando windmills his arms in pure, undisguised confusion. “I’m just trying to understand this!”

“No,” Carlos huffs. He scratches behind the kitten’s ear and what the fuck. “But it is. Maybe. A cosmic connection.”

“What happened to Piñon?” 

“I can have more than one pet,” he argues.

Lando scoffs. “Yes you can. You can have your seventy fifth dog. God! Get a puppy, Carlos. You don’t know how to take care of a cat!”

The kitten meows again. Lando did not even know that cats could have different meows. It clearly does not like him. “Can’t you be quiet for a second?” Carlos berates crossly. Lando watches with his jaw threatening to touch the floor as Carlos lays it down carefully on a towel, gently murmuring to it as he mournfully lets it go. Turning back to Lando, he sighs. “Okay. You have one minute to complain.”

So Lando does, absolutely explodes at the chance. “Where did you get a cat? Why did you get a cat? What are you going to do with a c– wait.” He frowns. “Did you get a new girlfriend?”

Infuriatingly, Carlos’ eyes dart to the CAT before he stammers out a snappy “No!” 

Lando might murder this cat. And Carlos, too. But first the cat. “I’m taking your cat away,” he decides, and nearly falls on his ass when Carlos pushes him away with a surprising amount of force when he tries to make a go at the cat. Wincing, he amends, “Okay. Not taking your cat away.”

Despite everything that happened in the last five seconds, Carlos’ stupidly concerned hands are suddenly hovering all around him. “Fuck, Lando, are you okay? I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Thanks. I totally noticed,” he says, trying to stay polite. And he is, well, okay. He will survive. Nurse his wounds and ghost Carlos for a couple of days. Hopefully enough time for Carlos to get rid of the damned ball of fur. But then they will be okay. “God. I need you to start answering my que–”

Riiing!

Shit. The meeting. Oscar is going to kill him. Lando scrambles to decline the call. Muttering curses under his breath he rushes out of the stupid little room while shouting at Carlos. He also tries not to be too hurt by the fact that Carlos seemed almost relieved to see him going, the kitten already burrowing back into his hands.

Lando has to tell everyone.

In a TMA AU, what do you think Toby would be an Avatar of?

Ohhhh what a good question. Some characters are really difficult to pin down for specific entities, and some are way easier (for me, for example, Jim would be of The Hunt, Claire of The Dark, etc (unashamedly stolen from @beannary 's Flesh and Bone TMA AU fic, I love it lots and actually got me into the podcast))

These are very loose ideas, but I think either The End, or The Lonely. The End, having the deaths of not just family, but constant social and interpersonal deaths being a theme for him. The Lonely is an easy choice as well, as I headcanon him to have abandonment issues with people he's closest too (cough cough Airheads cough cough "I thought since we'd found it together, we'd always do this together")

Do you think Bex, Cam or Macey or Zach will ever teach at the Gallagher academy in the future?

Honestly I could see all of them teaching there at some point. Coming in to teach coveops or another class for a semester or a year could be fun for Bex or Macey. I do think Cammie eventually takes her mom’s position as headmistress. And it is my personal headcanon that, rather than have Zach just be the Gallagher coveops teacher, I think he becomes headmaster of Blackthorne.

if hera could eat, i think she'd be completely prepared for indulgence, but she would ultimately prefer subtler / more natural flavors. like, hera is getting pistachio rosewater ice cream while eiffel is creating ungodly sugar concoctions out of the most brightly colored artificial flavors known to man. minkowski - needless to say, a big fan of ice cream! - is a healthy eater through rigorous discipline, but in her heart of hearts, she does want, like. dark chocolate cherry with cake bits in it. minkowski earnestly believes in the concept of a "cheat day" and marks them on her calendar. which is a real "how do you live like this" moment for eiffel, on multiple levels.

[writtenbyan-aries]

It’s because the way you portray Zach is soo accurate got me fallin in love with the both of you fr 😩

Oh stop it 🤭

[braininatankwithalaptop]

What about Celestial warlock! Zach? 🤔

Thematically it fits 100% perfectly. Zach literally made a contract with the angels and got power from said contract. No notes on that front. Unfortunately, there is a huge mechanical aspect missing. In my experience with warlock in most editions (3.5, and 5e), warlocks are generally known for having the most casting "ability," eldritch blasting and hexes, they are usually much more limited in terms of spell flexibility. You may theoretically have access to eldritch blast which is a very consistent attack, and some other very good at will abilities, you have the equivalent of fourth of the amount of spells known. Sure you can do your magical abilities all day (provided enough short rests in 5e), but at level 20 you get, like, 13 total spells/spell equivalents, while most classes surpass that flexibility by level 8.

I think in terms of balancing mechanics and flavors, Zach could be a sorcerer/warlock multiclass.

Although if we're able to step away from "basic" class building, Zach as a pathfinder witch, the pathfinder warlock equivalent, using the charisma based subclass (called seducer, lol) would fit much more.

idk if youre still taking these but... aranged charlos?

yes of course i am still taking them anon! i don't know if you're coming from ao3 bc this is a published ongoing wip w/ 2 chapters to go. i honestly had to take a full step back from the constant fretting about finishing it, one reason being to prevent burnout and one reason being i am currently on vacation lol

it's basically about charlos getting contractually married very young and having babies (this was the idea when first developed).

another reason being that i have scrapped the 15th chapter about six times at this point, and even though i've written multiple notes for it actually writing it has been ... tough, to say the least. i will recommend, if you haven't read 'i take my whiskey (neat)', to not click under the cut!

i decided to include a bit of the epilogue instead of the 15th chapter purely bc i have written that most recently !!

they look at each other, his father with mild confusion and his dad with mild concern. his dad speaks first, coughing, “rafa, this is…?”

rafael springs into action. “this is ella,” he introduces as she waves hello. “she’s my, erm, my girlfriend.” he grins, hoping to earn their sympathy. “ella, these are my parents, charles and carlos,” pointing to each of them in turn. “i think my siblings are outside–”

���i’ll take you,” his father offers, still slightly confused. “we are, ah, grilling out back. do you like grill? i can show you out–” he stops, scratching the back of his neck, thinking hard. “we have invited a lot of people, but i’ll just walk with you so you don’t get lost.”

ella shoots him a panicked look before she’s shepherded nervously off to the back with his equally nervous father. his eyes follow their retreating figures, tightlipped, and his only thought is that they hadn’t been so scared of millie’s girlfriend. tearing his gaze away, his attention rests on his dad. he looks amused, fighting a smile, his arms crossed over his chest. he leans over the counter, towering over rafael from where he’s stood on the platform. 

“so,” he starts. “why is this the first time i am hearing of this girlfriend?”

rafael blushes high in his face, his ears turning red. “it’s new,” he sighs, pointed. “she’s in one of my classes, in english. she’s really nice, i think you’ll really like her.”

“yeah?” he says. it’s not a question. “how long have you been, you know, together?”

“two months, but i’ve known her for longer.”

his dad nods, thoughtful. he steps off the counter, his palm cold against rafael’s back. he stands slightly taller than his dad, something he takes advantage of, pulling him into a hug, squishing him. “my baby, all grown up,” he murmurs.

“daaaaad,” he whines, nearly suffocating. “stop, i’m not a little kid–”

his dad lets go, but cradles his face between his hands, pulling at his cheeks. “you’ll always be little to me,” he says, eyes twinkling. it’s the only part of him that stands truly the same from twenty years ago, resistant to time and change. “come, let us make sure your papa has not scared ella back to new york.”

he laughs at that, a little strangled, because he thinks the opposite is also entirely possible. laura materialises when they step out, blinking owlishly up at him behind her circle frames. “i met your girlfriend,” she says, eyes narrowed. she clutches a book to her chest and rafael has to stop himself from rolling her eyes because it’s so stereotypical of laura to be studying at their family cookout. “how do you have a girlfriend?”

this time he does roll his eyes, wrangling her in for a one armed hug. “good to see you too, chiquita,” he mutters. her reply is lost in her derogatory mumbling. “where is she? ella?”

“being harassed by your brothers,” comes his dad’s reply, a note of alarm in his tone. “you go and say hi to your uncles before they keel over and die, i’ll deal with this.”

laura and rafael watch as their dad wrangles their twin brothers into obedience, apologising to an even more apologetic ella. at ten, marco and miguel are getting up to absolutely no good, and have just started to grow out of the inseparable phase. it doesn’t mean they don’t team up to cause havoc at times like this – quite the opposite by their display just now. rafael feels uneasy, sweat starting to form. he coughs, gesturing, “i should– i should go over there, right?” he asks. “that’s something i should do?”

laura eyes him with no small amount of disdain, but her expression softens when she gently pushes at his shoulder. “you’re a real idiot you know that?” are the words that come out of her mouth. “seriously, you must be so glad millie’s inheriting the company instead of you, what a disaster that would have been–”

“–yeah, yeah, i’ve got it,” he grumbles, secretly pleased.

ella doesn’t notice him coming, her shoulders tense when he gets his hands on them. he pulls her into his embrace. “hey, you,” he says, willing his voice not to shake. “you’re okay?”

she sighs, relaxing just the slightest bit. “you know, in the car i was going over everyone’s names, and what you’ve said they like,” she admits. “but there’s like… so many. i couldn’t even figure out which one of your brothers i was talking to.”

rafael snorts. he smoothes down the sleeves of her shirt, trying to be comforting. “don’t worry, i had trouble with it for years. i still do, when they’re playing tricks.”

“ah, ella, i’m sorry, i had to take this call,” his father’s voice says from behind them. he’s smiling, awkward, but he’s smiling. “hi, rafa. did you–” his face falls, he must have seen his dad berating his brothers behind them. “oh, you met the twins?”

“she did,” rafael answers for the two of them, grimacing. “they’re being, well, you know better than me. how they’ve always been.”

his father sighs, muttering, “may lord help us all until they grow up,”  in spanish as he passes them by, patting rafael’s shoulder.

of course they had more babies. is anyone surprised?

Gotta say. Got in the Halloween mood, started rereading Flesh and Bone for funsies, and now I am 18 episodes deep into the Magnus Archives???? Holy moly WHDKKWBDSJ

-Zach

AAAH HI ZACH!!!!! That’s so wild that you’re rereading flesh and bone I never considered it to be something that is worth rereading and now you’ve got me blushing on this Friday night ☺️ but dude I’ve been wanting to get back into tma and I think I might start listening to it again now that you’ve brought it up

[incorrectgallaghergirlsquotes]

Who do you think taught zach to ride a motorcycle?

You know what? I'm gonna say Catherine. Because that's pretty irresponsible to teach a 14/15 year old how to ride a motorcycle lol

[cammie-morgan-goode]

In OSOT, when cam comes back, zach says it's different, and he seem a bit distance quite a while, with him & bex always together. Do you think he's also mad at cam that's why? Or something else?

Oh my poor Zachy boy…

Zach’s mad. He’s furious with Cam. He’s pissed at her.

But not for the reasons we think.

Zach is the one who gave Cammie the idea of running away. He said so in OGSY. He told Cam that they should run. That they would keep each other safe. And Cam told him no. Cammie told him that that was not an option.

And what does she do? She leaves without him and she runs.

Zach doesn’t know where she is. She didn’t leave a note for anyone, she didn’t say goodbye, she’s just gone.

Zach has nobody. He can’t go home. He can’t go to his mom. He can’t go back to school. He doesn’t know if Cammie is even alive until they find her in Switzerland. And during that time he has Bex. And Bex is the only constant in his life that summer. She is the only one keeping his feet on the ground and keeping him from doing something stupid. Because if he can’t find Cammie, what does he have left? Joe’s in a coma for goodness sake.

And then to make matters worse, Cam comes back and she’s different. She can’t remember anything from that summer. He doesn’t even want to think about what she could’ve endured. He doesn’t want to process that. Between the sessions with Dr. Steve, the weapons incident, the memory loss, the fact that the Circle is still out there…

He tried to find Cam and he failed.

Things are different between them and while Cam is trying to process that and her missing summer, Zach is trying to process the fact that anything could have happened to Cammie and there was nothing he could do to stop that.

[chrswlls]

Off-topic question, but I'm very interested. Do you have any headcanons for the NFB characters? :')

Ok i swear I'll get to the requests but for now thank you for asking this anon because I have a ton. But im kinda embarrassed so I'll only share the ones I have for the popular chatacters lol

(some of these are gonna sound shippy so im gonna remind you now most of these are platonic lmao)

Post-heatwave Jeremy hates dealing with hotter temperatures and prefers to keep himself in cold/neutral places. During the summer he can't keep his composure as much as he wants to.

^^ post-game where he's alive and living with Jenny, she usually helps him cool down during the summers. It's one of the ways they support eachother while recovering from everything that has ever happened

Megan does feel a genuine friendship with Julia sometimes. Even sympathizing with her when it comes to some things. This only really applies during the path where Jeremy is dead and Alan is alive but I'll keep it short

Julia admires Megan in a way. Even if she does end up taking her job after a long time

Robyn wins most games of Uno or whatever funny card game the Nightly Show thinks of. A lot of people say it's luck but it's either she's just good at the game or she can cheese/cheat the game well enough.

Patrick is disliked by his coworkers but is most disliked by Alex. I made a separate post about it once xd

Alex sneezing would be quiet and discreet. Sam on the other hand sneezes like a gun going off and you can hear it across the house

^ Alex pinches their nose for them when theyre about to sneeze XDXDXD

Julia makes jewelry in her free time. Sometimes they're themed after the peoplr around her. Peter wears one of her bracelets.

^ Peter wore the bracelet to his grave. Julia sees it during the funeral and Peter's death haunted her even more from then

Chris and Dave met eachother while fleeing the country. They could either be great friends or cant stand the other. But eitherway they keep seeing eachother and it's kinda funny

Alan writes a few books about his experiences post-game Path D. They're not very popular amongst the youth Advance raised but they're pretty loved by everyone else who bothered to listen and read

Geoff likes pineapple on pizza. See this is because I hate pineapple on pizza.

^^ so does Alex. Them and Boseman jokingly argue about it because Boseman doesn't like pineapple on pizza

Boseman loves Snoopy or whatever the in-universe version of Snoopy is. During early mornings when Channel 1 plays cartoons, Snoopy is always being broadcasted unlike other cartoons that only show up during weekends.

Pro-Advance Suzie canonically marries Zach anyway. I like to think they got married way later though which is some time after the Uprising and Disrupt's "downfall". Zach is the one head over heels for Suzie in this scenario

that's all im willing to share :PP if you wanna hear more you can ask for a patt two. Or maybe headcanons for specific characters/relationships too but you'll be able to tell who are my favs and who i dont mind as much LMAOO
