I gave the BG3 origin characters Pokémon teams and put way too much thought into it, so I thought I'd share my nerdish thoughts. Maybe I'll do non-origin characters at some point, but eh, we'll see.

Oh, and there's some spoilers for the character stories, so read at your own risk.

(Teams under the cut!)

Lae'zel

(I couldn't not use this gif, sorry girlie)

Kommo-o

"When it spots enemies, it threatens them by jingling the scales on its tail. Weak opponents will crack and flee in panic." (Pokémon Sun)

An intimidating, armored warrior, just like Lae! Its shiny also reminds me of her, haha.

Zangoose

"It has feuded with SEVIPER for many generations. Its sharp claws are its biggest weapons." (Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl)

Just like the Githyanki's fued with Mindflayers, it has a big issue with Seviper's mere existence. They also give the same attitude vibes.

Scizor

"SCIZOR has a body with the hardness of steel. It is not easily fazed by ordinary sorts of attacks. This POKéMON flaps its wings to regulate its body temperature." (Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire)

They're both well-armored! It is,, also just her vibe.

Bisharp

This pitiless Pokémon commands a group of Pawniard to hound prey into immobility. It then moves in to finish the prey off." (Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2)

A hardened warrior, like the rest of the team. It not only plays into the fact that she likes to take charge, but I don't think she'd ever evolve it into Kingambit due to her whole awakening with Vlaakith and learning about the prince in the prism, lmao. She's content with Bisharp.

Falinks

"The six of them work together as one Pokémon. Teamwork is also their battle strategy, and they constantly change their formation as they fight." (Pokémon Shield)

The ultimate unit. She doesn't care if they're little guys, they're forces of nature! Not to be trifled with!

Charizard

"CHARIZARD flies around the sky in search of powerful opponents. It breathes fire of such great heat that it melts anything. However, it never turns its fiery breath on any opponent weaker than itself." (Pokémon Ruby & Pokémon Sapphire)

Even if she doesn't agree to become Vlaakith's chosen, she seems like the type to get a dragon herself just to spite Vlaakith.

☆

Shadowheart

(Oh my beloved Shart)

Umbreon

"When exposed to the moon's aura, the rings on its body glow faintly and it gains a mysterious power." (Pokémon Platinum)

It is so she coded. She worships the moon/darkness, no matter what path you go down with her, so Umbreon is perfect!

Absol

"Although it’s said to bring disaster, in actuality, this Pokémon possesses a calm disposition and warns people of any crises that loom." (Pokémon Moon)

Another dark, kind-of moon-esk vibe Pokémon. They also have similar haircuts!

Trevenant

"Trevenant is very kind to Pokémon living in the forest. It doesn't even care if these Pokémon take up residence in the greenery on its head." (Pokémon Violet)

A Pokémon I just think she'd like. I like to think it'd try to protect her from wolves in the forest, but when she came into contact with Sharr for the first time it was only a Phantump.

Hatterene

"This Pokémon can read the emotions of creatures over 30 miles away. The minute it senses hostility, it goes on the attack." (Pokémon Sword, G-Max form)

I think it's a really funny image. Shadowheart wouldn't mind watching with a wine glass in-hand as her Hatterene beats the shit out of someone that won't leave her alone. Its interaction potiental with Astarion is peak.

Mawile

"It chomps with its gaping mouth. Its huge jaws are actually steel horns that have been transformed." (Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver)

Has her vibes. Good for both versions of her. Has her ponytail (kind of). Makes sense to me!

Zoroark

"Each has the ability to fool a large group of people simultaneously. They protect their lair with illusory scenery." (Pokémon White)

While kind of leaning toward Sharr, it works for Selune as well! Shadowheart is also naturally a Trickster Domain Cleric, so a Pokémon known for tricks is great!

☆

Astarion

(My personal favorite character. I love him. He's soggy.)

Hisuian Zoroark

"With its disheveled white fur, it looks like an embodiment of death. Heedless of its own safety, Zoroark attacks its nemeses with a bitter energy so intense, it lacerates Zoroark’s own body." (Pokémon Legends Arceus)

Its a very Astarion Pokémon. It not only has wonderful hair, just like him, the entry above sounds a bit too similar to the start of the Cazador fight... heh.

Gliscor

"It dances silently through the sky. When it approaches prey, it can land a critical hit in an instant." (Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2)

Of course, it's vampire coded, and it also just has Astarion's smug, rogueish vibes.

Thievul

"It secretly marks potential targets with a scent. By following the scent, it stalks its targets and steals from them when they least expect it." (Pokémon Sword)

Astarion is a fancy man! Former magistrate! Thievul fits the high-class vibe and, of course, the thief aesthetic.

Froslass

"A Pokémon inhabited by the soul of a woman who died bearing a grudge in the snowy mountains. Legends of Froslass placing deathly curses on misbehaving men send shivers down my spine." (Pokémon Legends Arceus)

I think it'd be funny, if this Pokémon saw Astarion and related. Like. It feels empathy for this poor mf and just kinda sticks around. It REALLY wants to kill Cazador, but doesn't for Astarion's sake. It's cute.

Crobat

"The transformation of its legs into wings made it better at flying, but more clumsy at walking." (Pokémon Platinum)

Ugh the thought of Astarion befriending a Zubat in Cazador's palace and getting it to evolve via friendship is so nice. Also another vampire-esk mon.

Liepard

"Their beautiful form comes from the muscles they have developed. They run silently in the night." (Pokémon Black 2 & Pokèmon White 2)

It's him. As a purple and yellow cat. What do you want me to say.

☆

Gale

(My favorite boot-eater)

Alakazam

"While it has strong psychic abilities and high intelligence, an ALAKAZAM's muscles are very weak. It uses psychic power to move its body." (Pokémon Emerald)

Okay, Mr. 45 Defense 135 Special Attack. The og wizard Pokémon. Of course Gale has one.

Meowscarada

"This Pokémon uses the reflective fur lining its cape to camouflage the stem of its flower, creating the illusion that the flower is floating." (Pokémon Scarlet)

While, yes, it's a Magician, not a Wizard, I still think it works. Gale has a sassier side, which I thoroughly enjoy, and it reminds me of Tara in a weird way.

Delphox

"Using psychic power, it generates a fiery vortex of 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit, incinerating foes swept into this whirl of flame." (Pokémon Y)

Literally a wizard. Gale would love a little Fennakin.

...also, uh, Fireball.

Ditto

"With its astonishing capacity for metamorphosis, it can get along with anything. It does not get along well with its fellow Ditto." (Pokémon Moon)

Gale loves his duplicates: no need for spell slots if you have a Ditto!

...unless he needs Ditto to speak, of course, but Ditto can probably write instead!

Meowstic (Male)

"When in danger, it raises its ears and releases enough psychic power to grind a 10-ton truck into dust."

Another lovely Psychic type! It's also cat-shaped so that's a bonus for Gale. Simply a little guy.

Chandelure

"This Pokémon haunts dilapidated mansions. It sways its arms to hypnotize opponents with the ominous dancing of its flames." (Pokémon Sword)

I wanted a magic item reference, and I think he'd think it's cool! There's quite a few myths surrounding it.

☆

Wyll

(My first romance. He has a special lil place in my heart.)

Gallade

"A master of courtesy and swordsmanship, it fights using extending swords on its elbows." (Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl)

THE BLADE OF FRONTIERS—

Aegislash

"Apparently, it can detect innate qualities of leadership. According to legend, whoever it recognizes is destined to become king." (Pokémon Y)

THE BLADE OF FRONTIERS PART 2—

Oh, and I also think he got his from his father.

Corviknight

"This Pokémon reigns supreme in the skies of the Galar region. The black luster of its steel body could drive terror into the heart of any foe." (Pokémon Sword)

Haha. Ravengard. Get it.

It's also another knight aesthetic. Yippee.

Sirfetch'd

"Only Farfetch'd that have survived many battles can attain this evolution. When this Pokémon's leek withers, it will retire from combat." (Pokémon Sword)

Oh, another knight! What do you know.

...Blade of Frontiers part 3.

Lucario

"Not only does it perceive auras, but it has also gained the power to control them. It employs them in battle." (Pokémon Sun)

It's very him coded. I also really like the jokes where people compare him to a puppy. Lucario is a bipedal puppy.

The thought of a younger Wyll with a Riolu also brings me joy.

Ceruledge

"The fiery blades on its arms burn fiercely with the lingering resentment of a sword wielder who fell before accomplishing their goal." (Pokémon Scarlet)

Ah, finally. The Warlock pact Pokémon. It really fits him after getting his pact, imo. I like to think Mizora didn't give him a chance to evolve it into Armarouge instead, which upset Wyll at first, but he gets attached to Ceruledge. It's still his, after all.

☆

Karlach

(My favorite female character! She brings me such joy)

Emboar

"It can throw a fire punch by setting its fists on fire with its fiery chin. It cares deeply about its friends." (Pokémon Black)

She'd love this fucker, especially as a Tepig! They're both bulky as shit and deserve the world.

Haxorus

"While usually kindhearted, it can be terrifying if angered. Tusks that can slice through steel beams are how Haxorus deals with its adversaries." (Pokémon Shield)

Haha big axe. Haxorus is just very Barbarian coded.

...Also Karlach with an Axew <3.

Tinkaton

"The hammer tops 220 pounds, yet it gets swung around easily by Tinkaton as it steals whatever it pleases and carries its plunder back home." (Pokémon Violet)

Another big-weapon Pokémon, but I think she'd also just think it's silly.

Imagine Wyll meeting her with this little menace, since he has a Corviknight.

(Yes, I might've done that on purpose)

Arcanine

"Arcanine is known for its high speed. It is said to be capable of running over 6,200 miles in a single day and night. The fire that blazes wildly within this Pokémon's body is its source of power." (Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire)

Loyal fire puppy. Essentially Karlach.

Bewear

"This Pokémon has the habit of hugging its companions. Many Trainers have left this world after their spines were squashed by its hug." (Pokémon Moon)

THEY CAN TAKE EACHOTHER'S BACKBREAKING HUGS. THEY DESERVE EACHOTHER.

I also just really had a fun time running Bear-Rage Barbarian Karlach.

Darmanitan

"Its internal fire burns at 2,500° F, making enough power that it can destroy a dump truck with one punch." (Pokémon Black)

A very Karlach mon, in my opinion. She appreciates how angry it can be. She is also quite angry.

#balders gate 3 #bg3 #spoilers #pokémon au #pokémon crossover #i spent way too much time on this #lae'zel #shadowheart #astarion ancunin #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #wyll ravengard #karlach #i often question my mental health

Yknow how the forest territory is Believably England and then the lake is... Vaguely American? Are there any major changes to the lake from you pushing it back to being Believably England?

This is major nerdish territory but yes actually, in fact I specifically look at Delamere's programs and plan to model the visitor center (in RiverClan territory) off their new 2020 expansion. I think part of why the Lake feels "vaguely American" in canon is like... it's so hard to describe, but it's written like... a summer camp lake. Not a British nature reserve.

Meanwhile, the Forest Territories were based on NEW FOREST, which is a real place in Hampshire that Victoria Holmes used to visit. Because of that, the wetland, moorland, forest, and river are all grounded in reality. Of course it's believable-- Vicky was writing from experience!

Meanwhile, the Lake wasn't even supposed to "become the new map," she thought TNP would be the end of the series. The first sign that it the ecology was gonna get crazy, though, was the Tribe's mountain. girlie... it's southeastern England. what mountain? God tried to hit London with a frying pan and ended flattening the entire area, did Smokepaw fall to his death off a HILL?

But anyway, new BB Lake Territory biome models be upon ye;

ShadowClan's bog is based off Black Lake in Delamere, mixed with a bit of indulgence in specifically letting them destroy a sitka plantation lmao. There's more diversity in the other models though, which is why I don't say the whole thing is JUST Delamere.

The river and lake ecosystem look a lot more like the Dyfrdwy (re: the only protected water zone in the entire UK under the 1991 Water Resources Act) and Llyn Tegid (because it's big, well researched, and clean). The moorland is lowland heather, as seen in Thurstaton Common and Bickerton Hill, though I sometimes have to take research from further south or east because of how devastated those biomes have gotten in this region.

(the aquatic and moorland ecosystems have gotten so. so fucked in the past 200 years.)

(also side note if you want a chuckle, please read this article from the Wildlife Trust on "how to find heather" which has an entire section on what to do if you cannot access moorland, where it suggests other ways you can experience purple. Obsessed with the phrasing of this. Like it's a natural instinct. If you can't find heather go somewhere wet and look at a crocus.)

Other random things about Sanctuary Lake now;

It follows Llyn Tegid's watersports permits system. Power boats are banned and humans are only allowed to swim at the shore.

There's gonna be ruins in WindClan now. Was very surprised to find out that, no, that's not a movie thing, there's just ruins. Cool!

I keep waffling on what sort of ruin it is tho. I'm leaning towards a castle ruin, but Chester uncovered a roman coliseum so THAT would be really cool. It would be neat if they found a lion skull. Maybe some kind of Roman fort.

Who framed Miss Emerson?

Anonymous asked:

Hello! I have a request for the lost boys pol please. I was rewatching who framed roger rabbit, and Jessica rabbits iconic scene popped up and all I could think about was what if the lost boys met reader that way. like reader is michaels sister and he had to pick her up from her performance so they just decide to watch. Thank you.

Loud music thrummed around the club, making the walls shake and disorientating the occupants even more than the substances they were abusing had.

On a small stage at the front was a rather fabulous bank, full of scantily dressed figures, adorned in black clothing and golden jewelry.

In the middle stood a woman, wearing a dress made entirely of gold and bronze thread, with long lines of squeins draped off of it that shone in the blinding light above. From afar it was like watching a star. Miss Emerson, she was know as, someone who had only been in town a year but had become quite popular with the locals who crossed the door of The Snake Pit.

Her hair was long and soft, straightened out of it natural curls and now draped down in a gentle wave. In the soft glow of the lights shining down above it looked like a river made from chocolate. But it was her smile that drew people in, always adorned with a lustrous lipstick and drawn tight into a seductive grin.

She was a siren in an ocean of fools.

You knew you were attractive, but the constant passage of people coming to see you affirmed your ego.

It had been almost a year since you had started working here, having decided to take a break from beginning college when your parent's divorce was finalised and trying to make enough money to actually be able to afford clothes let alone a three-year course and biodiversity studies.

When you had applied for a job as a bartender the last thing you had expected was to become a performer, even bartending was a stretch for your once introverted self. But Santa Carla had brought something in all of you Emersons when you moved from Phoenix to the sunny oceanside town.

For your younger brother Sam, he had become quite nerdish, still prancing around like a peacock in his extravagant fashion while befriending the local comic book geeks.

The Frogs.

They were odd but supposedly harmless, your mother doted on them once she found out how neglectful their own parents were, and in some sense, they were akin to younger brothers to you and Michael.

Michael. He was a bit different.

For the first two months, he had been such a grumpy bastard, even going so far as to upset your mother once or twice a week, which was when you all put your foot down and staged a much-needed intervention into his behavior.

Turns out he was just struggling with the move, which was understandable. And the friends he had met were kind of hazing him which was, less understandable.

But soon enough they toned it down, though at the same time moms new boyfriend Max vanished and was never heard from again.

Which was great because he was really fucking creepy.

Finally finishing your set you bowed slowly at the waist, looking up and fluttering your lashes teasingly as a sweet smile dawned on your face. The sound of cheering and clapping grew, only fading as you trotted off the stage with a bouquet of white roses in your arms.

It was a relief when you finally sat down, feet finally free from your dark velvet stilettos they would never truly get used to.

"Well," you slipped them off, curling your toes and groaning as you felt your ankles click, "two-twenty-nine that's a good night."

Sometimes people would tip you while you were still on stage, but you were always guaranteed around a hundred each night.

The summer was making the crowds larger and in the flowers and notes of misplaced affection you received was often a couple of bills that the club owner, a rockin' old lady called Cheri, would let you keep almost all of.

"Knock knock," you turned to meet the eyes of your brother, who was slipping through the door and coming to throw his arms over your shoulder, hugging you tight, "you sleepy bubs?"

You nodded, leaning back into your elder brother's embrace, watching as he helped you gather your things and offered you the leather jacket you always wore.

It was a Saturday, and tomorrow you would have the day off, so you didn't bother changing out of your dress knowing it would be cleaned and pressed by the time your next shift came round.

"You have a good night Mikey?" Your arm was around his waist, your head pressing into his shoulder as he walked you out the back, keeping you close in your sleepy state.

He nodded, "you could say that."

Michael had an ok night, he had spent it with Star, of course.

But her "brothers", the four idiots who never had enough to do, had soon enough tracked the two of them down and forced them to hang out with them under the guise of Laddie missing his big sister despite the fact that Laddie now lived at the Emerson house.

When he had tried slipping away to pick you up they had pestered him, wondering what kind of delicious secrets he was keeping from them, when usually his mind was an open book to their abilities.

Little did he know the four delinquents had followed him as he picked up his mother's station wagon, all the way home and back to the end of the boardwalk, where he had gone into a rather scandalous club known for its fanciful events and gorgeous acts.

They had sparsely been since the forties when the owner realised his acts would last half as long when pretty boys took them out for the evening. But that old fart had died quite some time ago.

Watching from above they stared down at you hungrily, chests purring with an unknown emotion as they memorised your scent and every feature.

The four shared a look, eyes glowing as they leaped into the night. This would be one of their best games yet.

"Come onnnn-"

"No Sam."

"But you hardly go, and there's gonna be some cool clothing stalls, you know how much you said you wanted to upgrade your wardrobe."

"You did say that honey," you sent your mother an exasperated look from where you sat atop the kitchen counter, watching her fuss with some meat grandpa had brought home from hunting, "and you hardly go out beside work, all that money doesn't need to go to school, my love."

Lucy's warm hands met your cheeks, gentle blue hues meeting your own in a loving gaze, "you gotta have fun little dove, you're still young."

Sam's own eyes burned into the side of your head, they were both right of course, you had wanted to buy some new outfits since you had arrived in Santa Carla. But you had become so worried about money during the divorce that the idea of spending things on what you wanted, rather than what you needed, was far from your mind.

And you did miss going out. Phoenix was so much different than your time here, you never missed the opportunity to spend an evening out on the town with your close friends, something you missed dearly.

"Fine."

They both cheered, your mother kissing your nose and Sam yanking you off and spinning you, before dragging you up the stairs so he could help you find something to wear.

"What about this?" You held up a flower-patterned shirt to Sam, watching as he inspected it before nodding, then showing you his own find that you chewed your lip at.

Crunchy velvet was rather distasteful, and the texture was awful, "don't you hate how that stuff feels on your skin?"

Sam looked at it, before sighing and putting it back, "there's almost nothing good, Marko hyped this up so much."

Marko

You had heard that name before, along with a few others. For some reason Michael was less than eager to let you meet his friends, even his girlfriend Star was off-limits for the time being. Which sucked because he described her as being fun and dreamy, honestly it felt like he was trying to prove something to you most of the time.

Like she was good enough.

But you couldn't care less, as long as she wasn't some awful wench like the girls he used to hand around with back in Phoenix.

"It's only the first day Sam, I'm sure there will be more over the next week," you wrapped your arm around his shoulders, squeezing comfortably and letting him lean into your touch, "besides I've barely seen any of the boardwalk, you gotta give me a tour little man!"

He huffed at the nickname, but chose not to whine about it too long.

"Fine, I know just the place," his hand wrapped around yours, pulling you away from the stalls and towards the more structured shops, ones that were actual buildings rather than little tables shrouded in cloth.

When he finally stopped you looked around, taking in the shop you recalled him obsessing over. The Frog comic book shop, painted a soft blue and full of laughing youngens.

"This where your friends live huh?"

Your brother grinned, nodding and walking ahead as you fingered through the bins of dollar comics by the front, laughing at the dumb titles and ridiculous drawings of big-breasted superheroines with outfits smaller than your own bathing suit.

"Are kids really reading this trash these days?-"

"Trash?!" You froze as a gravelly voice exclaimed beside you, turning to meet the eyes of a boy dressed like Rambo.

Sam sent you a look behind the boy, warning you not to embarrass him, but it was really hard trying not to laugh at Edgar's fit.

"Oh hi Eddie-"

"It's Mr Frog to you, civilian," you gaped at him, scoffing at his cheek, "and I'll have you know we're the best comic book store in Santa Carla."

You smiled sweetly, pinching his cheek, "oh sweetie, you're the only comic book store in Santa Carla."

He batted your hand away, growling like an irritated puppy.

Your brother sent you a deadpan stare, to which you blew a kiss.

"I'm gonna head off Sam, go look around somewhere else, m'kay?"

He nodded, dismissing you to hand out with his two friends, Alan being the only one to say by to you as you walked outside.

It was busy, as expected, but you could see some cool stalls just across from you.

You began walking ahead, pushing through the tourists with great difficulty. You had almost reached the other side when a large figure slammed into you, throwing you to the ground with little care and running off towards the rides.

"What the hell-"

A hand was placed in front of you, covered in thick rings, you accepted, eager to get off the gross wooden floor.

"You okay beautiful?"

You flushed at the smooth voice addressing you, shifting away from it slightly to look up at where it was coming from.

He was tall, taller than you, and surrounded with wild blonde hair that had been teased two inches above his hairline.

"Y-yeah, sorry I'm not usually this clumsy," your hands ached and you looked down at where they were scuffed, pouting at the small drops of blood you could see seeping from the scratches on your palms, "shit-"

"You hurt?" cold hands encased your own, pulling on your wrists gently.

Nodding you watched as his thumbs smoothed over your cuts, shushing you softly when you hissed and pulled away.

"Come on, I've got something to clean you up."

He began pulling you towards the exit, and your mind didn't think to stop before letting a stranger pull you away.

When he stopped walking the two of you had reached a row of bikes, three other boys watching you walk towards them with odd looks in their eyes.

"Whatcha got there Paulie," a voice purred at you, coming from a curly-haired blonde, who was leaning towards you as Paul brought you to, "you lost sugar?"

Christ. These men would be the death of you.

You turned to meet his eye, preparing to respond before you saw a glimpse of curly brown hair you were all too familiar with.

"Wait, Michael?"

Your brother spun round, eyes wide and mouth open, he had been facing a girl who you thought must be Star.

She spoke before your brother could.

"Oh my god!" faster than you could blink she was rushing around the bikes to embrace you, arms squeezing your waist and she pulled you close.

"Is this the sister you've been hiding from us Michael, hmm?" the next one to speak was who you realised was David, recognizing his spiky white hair and pale eyes burning into you, "you didn't say she was so pretty."

Your brother growled, moving to stand and sending David a warning look.

"I didn't say much for a reason David."

Star had pulled away from you now, watching your brother and his friend glare at each other, "sheesh guys what a way to make a first impression."

They finally broke their stare down, both of their eyes softening as they took in your form.

Michael walked towards you and checked you over, he could smell the blood coming from your hands, not that you knew that.

"You okay?" he brought you closer to him, pulling you away from the crowd of vampires surrounding you, lifting your hands to inspect them, "who-"

"Nobody," you cut him off before he could get too riled up, "just a bit clumsy, you know me."

He frowned but didn't push, pulling you into a side hug and turning you a little to face his friends.

"Well sis, these are my friends, my friends this is my-"

"Sister, we know," David cut him off, walking towards you and holding out a gloved hand, "I'm sure we'll be seeing more of each other now, Mikey can't keep you from us anymore."

A week later and you were performing again, a tight red dress dragging down your body and flaring out at the bottom.

It was new, a gift from an admirer, and worth everything to you.

From the embroidered hem to the way it slipped off your shoulders, showing off your soft skin and emphasizing your dark hair.

The crowd was packed and people cheered after every song, sending you tips and flowers. One man even sent you a bottle of wine.

But it was the four men in the back you were most excited about. Star and Michael had come to the club for a date night a few days ago, but now David, Dwayne, Marko, and Paul were sitting in one of the booths.

Their eyes were shining, and you could just catch glimpses of them throughout the night.

When your set ended you took a deep bow, making eye contact with them as you rose back up.

And as you returned to your dressing room you squealed in delight at the large bouquet of pink and peach toned flowers on your dresser, a cluster of bills pinned behind a note.

"You like them, princess?"

Cold hands encased your waist as a figure came up behind you, catching you off guard as another hand reached for your face, curling around your jaw.

I’m pretty new to tumblr so if I’m doing this wrong, IM SO SORRY!

So the concept that’s been eating away at my brain is- what if the siblings had embodied the spirit of the 7 in the opposite way their dorm head siblings had?

Like (Name) Ashengrotto embodying benevolence in the most basic way. They aren’t a pushover but they’re kind and wanna help out people who are “unfortunate” because they were/are. This lets them become a really trust worthy figure and have lots of people see them as a genuine kind soul…with a bit of an sly streak. Like, “someone’s bullying you? Ok :)”

*the next week all of them are too scared to look the bullied person in the eyes*

(Name) Kingscholar being a person who actually see’s all as equal and gives equal opportunities to everyone. Since they were royalty and still mistreated that would instill a “no one’s more important than others because of position” mindset. So instead of Leona’s “Everyman for themselves/survival of the fittest” they have a more “help everyone/ everybody has potential”. This would lead to the weaker students rallying behind them. Like the hyenas from the movie. Even if the students ascend from their “weaker” spot they still have to owe the little Kingscholar since they’re the reason the person got out of that spot in the first place. Basically garnering loyalty and respect through helping the weak.

(Name) Al-asim is mindful-genuinely. (Kalim and Jamil are to but in very twisty ways) Like they don’t feel as condescending as Jamil when they give advice “Umm..well I suggest you-”. they’re so sweet but so smart in a “wise friend” type of way, like that one friend in your group who’s always the voice of reason but never compromises the vibe. People start going to them to air out grievances and they gain the students trust very easily. (Ooo juicy secrets) I don’t think they’re above airing out dirty laundry personally but stuff like that has to be reserved for big moments. If anything it just helps them ease drop without being worried about.

(Name) Shroud would learn to be actually charismatic and a total people person. They take up a streamer kinda persona. Nerdish and dorky but in such a fun “I’ll garner my own type of crowd” way.

What about the dorms heads who take theirs pretty literally? Well…

(Name) Rosehearts would learn to stay true to the rules…technically. They would find ways to bend the very vague rules into something more bearable and fun. Instead of following the rules to the letter they find their own interpretations and make life a lot easier for the students in heartslabyurl. Students love them as they make life so much easier and find clever ways to work smarter not harder. You can’t call them a mischief maker now can you?

I love the black sheep AU. It’s so fun and gets my brain rolling on characters. I’ve even spent an hour come up with HC names for each of them that parallel they’re older siblings. (Though I won’t add them since this ask is so long already)

ooh ooh like the way that starkid characterized the villains in twisted!!!

basically, for anyone who hasnt seen twisted, there is a song where a bunch of disney villains come on stage to talk about their "twisted" tales. ursula talks about how king triton stripped her of the throne because she was a woman and scar talks about how he only wanted to bring hyena and lion kind together and try and better their relationship.

basically their actions still kinda exist but its their motivations are different. if you get what I'm saying?

but i like it! that way theyre opposites but still coming from the same sort of upbringing :D

Weremayhem: Song of Beasts. Ch 19: The Shop of the Wolf

The flashbacks show a young Dr. Teeth. He was flossing his teeth. The ginger haired male was 16. He had his glasses but they were normal glasses, no purple tin to them. Teeth was wearing a Jacket that had a tooth patch on it. The jacket was gray and red with white buttons. He was also wearing some blue jeans with some old sneakers that were red and white. The young doc had no scars on his body except for some on his thighs and his lower back.

“All aboard the Molar Express. Who wants dental floss?” asked Tina as she was at the entrance of the bus. She had no gray hair in her beehive hairstyle. The ginger haired female was wearing a white dentist coat with a big smile face pin on it. A pink dress shirt was under the coat and she was wearing a black skirt with some black high heels to match. Yellow toothbrush earrings hang from her ears.

“Right, Gerald?” she added.

“Yep” replied Gerald. His dark brown hair was fluffy and not bald in the middle. He was wearing a white coat like his wife with a light blue bow tie. Also some black dress pants and shoes. The dark haired male still had the scar on his cheek. Gerlad pulled on a rope that made the horn toot.

The kids look unhappy or bored out of their minds. “But first, time for floss-toss” said the ginger haired female. She threw some floss at the kids. “Floss-toss” said Tina as she threw them.

She peaks her head around and looks at her son. “Junior,” the mother said. He looks at his mother.

“Go nab me some more free samples. These kids are loving ‘em!” she added.

He rolled his eyes. “All right, mama,” he replied in a nerdish, shy, quiet voice. His voice wasn’t like his voice now which was loud and had a deep growl to it.

He walks to the back of the bus that had one of the doors open. “Why I got to be here while Luna is off with her friends, Liam is at home sick” he mumbles under his breath. The ginger haired boy stops as he hears a guitar strumming from a shop that was nearby.

The shop was called “Jerry’s Tunes” and it was where the sound was coming from. Teeth walks into the shop. He make sure that his parents weren't looking.

Inside, it was filled with instruments. There was a guy there that was playing the guitar behind the table of the check out area. It was young Floyd. He was 19 at the time. His red long hair was on his shoulders. He wears glasses like Junior. He was wearing a white t-shirt under a blue jean jacket. Floyd had a few mustache hair growing, looking like whiskers or like one of those show dogs after getting a groom.

The ginger haired male comes over to the guy. “Say, that’s a catchy tune.” said Teeth. Floyd left his head up to see the young male. He could tell the kid was at least 16 but boy, was he tall for his age. He was taller than Floyd.

“Oh! Well, thank you. I’m still learning” replied the red haired male.

“Yeah, I cannot seem to get my finger around the little string there, but, say, do you play?” added Floyd.

“No, no. Hey, but you know what I like to do?” replied Junior.

‘What’s that?” replied Floyd, curious.

“I sneak into the clubs on Bourbon Street” replied the young doc.

“Yeah?” replied the red haired male.

“And peek through the windows” added the ginger haired male.

“Yeah?” replied Floyd. He chuckles as the teen reminds him as his younger self when he used to tell his father random things that happened.

“I always get caught. But, hey, it’s free” replied Teeth with a soft smile.

“Yeah” replied Floyd.

“Hey, well, you can pop in here anytime to hear the tunes I’m tinkering on,” he added.

“You know, if you want. Like, this one I’m working on goes like this” said Floyd as he started to play his guitar riff.

Teeth looked at the bowl on the table, it was filled with harmonica. He took one out and slowly started to play it. The red haired male stops and looks in shock as he sees the teen playing the harmonica great. The young doc stops and looks embarrassed.

“Yeah!” chuckle Floyd.

“Sorry, I couldn’t help myself” replied Junior as he tried to put the instrument back with the others in the bowl.

“No, no, no! Hey, consider it a gift” replied Floyd. The teen stops as he holds the harmonica.

“You know, because you slobbered it up and all,” he added.

“No, no. I can’t” replied Teeth in a nervous tone. He knew his mother would kill him if he kept it.

The red haired male laughs. “Sure, you can. You’re a natural” replied Floyd with a smile.

“And thanks to you, I think I got my bridge,” he added.

“Hey! What do you say we take it from the top? Come on, now. Two, three, four” said Floyd before he started playing again.

They start playing a type of blues music. “Ha-ha! I love it!” chuckle the red haired male. Suddenly, Tina came in and gasped in shock and horror.

Junior jumps and looks scared to death. “Junior. What are you doing?” asked the ginger haired female in a stern tone with her hands on her hips.

“That mouth toy’ll blow the enamel right off your teeth '' she added. “Tell him, Gerald” said his mother. His father came up behind his mother.

“Yep” replied Gerald.

“That’s my fault, ma’am. Yeah, he was just holding it for me” said Floyd. He didn’t want the young teen to get in trouble for having fun.

“Well, you best take it back, Cause this fine boy is gonna be a doctor one day.” replied Tina with a hissed like tone. As she said this, her eyes flashed a gold yellow color.

The red haired male realized she is a wereanimal like him. Actually he could smell their scent. They were in the feline family of wereanimals but the young teen smell like a hybrid of two species from the family tree.

“Yes, ma'am,” replied Floyd. He doesn't know why but this mother is making his werewolf self fear in terror just by her tone of voice.

“Let’s go, baby” Tina said to Teeth before leaving the shop with her husband.

“Y’all have a nice one” said the red haired male. Junior softly chuckles before laying the harmonica on the table next to the bowl.

“Thanks,” he said.

“Yeah. Hey, don’t worry about it” replied Floyd. “Future Doctor Man” he added.

“See you around” the young Floyd said before the flashback ended.

Teeth jump and let out a sound that sounds like a demonic cat. “Flashback” he said with his eyes wide.

“Are you okay?” asked Nora in a worried tone.

“Who’s feeling gumbo?” asked the good doctor. “It’s crawdadding time!” he added before letting out all these exclaiming sounds and weird feline sounds as he run out of the room.

Moog’s eyes go wide in fear and shock. “Wait, crawdadding? No. I just got you guys back on track” replied the black haired female.

“And now, we’re off again” replied Floyd.

“See, every decade or so, Teeth’s parents roll into town and get him all spun out about taking over the family dental practice,” he added.

“But like, don’t worry,” said janice.

“We just have to wait for him to cycle through his emotional rejuvenation journey,” she added.

“What?” asked Label Lady with her eyes wide.

“Yeah. But eventually, he tells them no, and things go back to normal in no time” replied Floyd Pepper. The blonde female nods her head.

“Uh-huh. And how much is “no time” ?” asked Nora.

“Could be a week, sometimes a month.” replied the red haired male.

“One time, it was a majority of the aughts,” he added.

“Ooh, wow.” replied Janice. “That was, like, such a wild time. The naughty aughties” she added. Floyd Pepper raises an eyebrow.

“Fun stuff. We can’t lose our lead singer for a week to a decade” replied the black haired female.

“Okay, no. I’m gonna go talk some sense into him” she added as she got up to chase after the band leader.

“Teeth!” Nora yelled.

“Hold on. Come back!” yelled Floyd as he and Janice run after Label Lady.

“Wait. There’s a lengthy process!” said Jancie.

“What you don’t know is nothing,” said Floyd Pepper.

“Hold on!” said the blonde female as they chased after Nora. Moog gets up but get stopped by Animal.

“Nora!” said the drummer.

“Oh, my God.” he said before he clears his throat. “Yep. That’s her name.” replied the black haired male.

“Nora” replied the wild man.

“Yeah. We got her back, you and me” replied Moog.

“Nora,” replied Animal.

“Is there any reason you keep repeating that?” he asked the drummer.

“Nora” whispers Animal.

“And now, you’re whispering it.” replied the black haired male.

“Nora” the drummer whispers it again.

“Okay” replied Moog. The wild man laughs.

Meanwhile with the good doctor, he got ready to go crawdadding. He got everything from baits, nets, and waders. “Boat’s ready. Got my waders. Last call for crawdadding, y’all” sais Teeth as he walks out the back door.

“Wait, you can’t just go…And, he’s gone” said Nora as the door slams shut.

“Oh, like, that just means that phase one of his process has, like, officially begun” replied Janice.

“The good news is, it always ends with a delicious jumbo gumbo.” added Floyd as he can’t wait to eat the gumbo.

“Bad news is, then comes phase two.” said the red haired male.

“Wait, phase two?” asked Moog.

“Creative malaise” replied the blonde female.

“Creative what?” asked Nora.

“Creative mayonnaise,” replied Animal.

“Creative what?” she asked again.

❥ Warnings Include: Puppy Love, Romance, Profanity, and Injuries

❥ Author Note: I wrote this shit because I'm depressed and in desperate need of tooth-rotting romance. Attack on Titan is somehow the best and worst thing that has happened to me in a long fucking time. Not to mention @eremiie and @erotisc gave me some inspiration to work with, so thank you guys! Anyways I hope this helps everyone who is sad over the newest chapter

"Armin you don't understand, she's the smartest person in this whole fucking school; there's no way I'm gonna catch her attention." Eren groaned slamming his head into their lunch table.

"I take personal offense to that; when I'm valedictorian..." Armin frowned not reacting to Eren's physical actions, meaning he was used to seeing it.

"Sorry. But you know what I mean; she's smart and I'm just..."

"A hot-headed dumbass?" Jean quipped, now interested in the conversation at hand.

"Haha. Fuck you, horse face." Eren snapped flipping his friend off.

"I'm just saying if you wanna catch Y/n's attention; you need to completely not be...." Jean looked Eren up and down grimacing as he gestured to his entire body. "Yourself."

"That's not that bad of an idea, Jeanboy." Connie butted in, leaning on the ash-brown boy's shoulder

Before Eren could retaliate, the lunch bell rang meaning it was time for his favorite class of the day, Physics. Without wasting any time, Eren grabbed his bookbag and sprinted out of the cafeteria leaving his friends behind. The excitement began to build through his body as he raced down the halls tightly clutching onto his bag, trying to beat the bell and the other kids walking around.

He made his way into the class extremely early and sat down eagerly, finally for the first time, he'd be able to sit right beside her. A happy smile spread across his face as he leaned back in his chair excitedly.

Damn it all, life was a never-ending cycle of depression and disappointment. All Eren ever knew was pain. He knew was being a tad bit dramatic but how come nothing ever went his way? All that running and dashing was for nothing, especially since Y/n showed up to class later than usual. The only good thing about the entire ordeal was, Y/n sat near the teacher's desk, meaning he could stare at her for as long as he wanted without it looking creepy.

"Yeager, what's the answer?" His teacher snapped, irritated that he was being ignored.

"Huh? Can you repeat the question?"

"As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?" Mr. Shadis repeated, tapping his foot impatiently.

"Um... No?" Eren started having no idea what the hell to say.

"Incorrect. As usual." Shadis scoffed with a slight smirk, satisfied that he managed to crush and embarrass yet another student.

Eren looked down as his face heated up, now he looked like a moron in front of Y/n. Maybe Jean was right, being himself wasn't going to help anything. Or better yet, maybe he should just give up on crushing on someone so out of his league.

"Mr. Shadis, I don't mean to interrupt but actually, Eren is correct. Gaps do not form between photons as light spreads out. Light is made up of tiny fundamental bits called photons. A photon is a quantum object. As such, a photon acts a little like a particle and a little like a wave." Y/n explained looking at their teacher with a slight gleam in her eyes, silently daring him to correct her.

"Ah, Miss L/n. It's nice to see you join the conversation for once, of course, you join to protect your boyfriend."

"Well I couldn't just leave him hanging when he was in the right and knew what he was talking about, isn't that right Eren?"

The smile on the said male's face was entirely too big, he had died and gone straight to Heaven. All the misfortune he had experienced before meant nothing now that Y/n had acknowledged him. He had won at life.

"Um yeah exactly. I have to say, you explained it better than I could." He cleared his throat and looked directly at her, his heart pounding through his ears as she kept eye contact with him.

"Thanks but I just tend to over-explain things, so don't feel bad. Simplicity is nice sometimes."

"Okay that enough, anyways back to the lesson at hand." Shadis grumbled.

Eren waited for the bell to ring before he shot up and walked over to Y/n's seat, the tanned girl was still packing up her belongings. Now that he was close enough, Eren could smell the sweet aroma that radiated off of her body, strawberries, and coconut. Her long braids were pulled up into a half up half down style and her edges had been laid to perfection.

The male felt his palms grow sweaty as he continued to look at her, Jesus had she always been this beautiful? Y/n looked back up at him as her two-toned glossed lips morphed into a sickeningly sweet smile.

"Hi, Eren."

"Hey... um, thanks again for earlier."

"It's no trouble really, can't let Shadis bully his students right?"

"Yeah... yeah" Eren licked his lips and shoved his hands into his pockets now growing self-conscious about what he chose to wear to school.

A tight black wife-beater, grey and white flannel with ripped blue jeans, and finally black Air Forces. Granted it was usual for him, but he wasn't sure if his usual was something Y/n would even remotely be attracted to.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to hang out after school today.." He blurted after gathering all of his confidence.

Y/n's face looked shocked for a moment before she gave an apologetic smile looking away slightly; Eren felt his heart drop to his stomach instantly knowing whatever she was about to say was going to ruin his happy mood.

"Sorry. I can't-"

"Yeah, it's cool. Nevermind forget I asked." Eren walked off, not wanting to act like a dick in front of her.

He knew his temper wasn't exactly the best, but the last thing he wanted was to blow up on her of all people. That's why he was now at the park sitting on a table beside Armin who was doing homework, which really made no sense to Eren since Armin was the one who suggested going to the park in the first place.

"I was so close man. Like all she had to do was say yes."

"So let me get this straight, Y/n defended your dumbass in class and you still fumbled the ball? Wow, Yeager, you surprise me every day." Jean laughed as he watched Connie roll the blunt.

"Say something else and I swear I'm gonna beat the shit out of you. Say something else, I fucking dare you." Eren glared as he furrowed his eyebrows.

"Ayo calm down, don't be getting mad at grade-a asshole over here because of your shortcomings. Jean is a dick don't get me wrong but beating his ass won't help your situation." Connie tsked as he gazed up at Eren.

"Whatever. I'm gonna go skate." Eren stood up and grabbed his board, moving away from his friends.

Sometimes skating was the only thing that could get him to relax, well that and his mother's cookies. But currently, the older he got, the more skating seemed to help him cope with all the bullshit he dealt with on a daily. This skateboard has been with him for years, despite how rough he was with it, it managed to outlast all of the crazy stunts he'd pull.

Eren got a running start and jumped on his board enjoying the feeling of the wind blowing on his face; his eyes fluttered shut as the wind continued to tickle his face. A peaceful sigh escaped his lips as he shifted his body, concentrating on using his other senses.

He would often skate blindfolded, there was something about having the trust all of your other senses to not wind up hurting yourself or others. More than he'd like to admit, usually it would be him that got the short end of the stick.

"Watch out!" A familiar voice screeched causing Eren to snap his eyes open.

His eyes widened as he saw a young girl sitting right in the middle of his path, usually stopping would be no problem for Eren, unfortunately since his focus was thrown off. He continued to advance towards the girl, but in the last second decided to perform a rather high Ollie. Luckily he managed to maneuver his trick perfectly, however, due to the altitude of his jump, the male lost his footing and crashed into the concrete.

"Fuck!" He hissed in pain as he knew he tore skin.

"Oh my god! Are you okay? I'm so sorry." A female voice called out to him as he laid on the ground.

"Just fucking peachy," He sat up ready to finally blow up only to come face to face with Y/n. "Erm. I mean yeah it hurt but I'm fine."

"You're bleeding and it's my fault. I'm so sorry." She panicked as she inspected his face, her warm hands darting out to grab his face.

Suddenly all the pain disappeared from his body, he was on cloud nine again. Eating shit on concrete felt like a piece of cake now that she was here pampering him.

"It's no problem, Y/n. I've felt worse." He replied trying to ease her worries.

"I turn away for one moment and then Gabi just disappeared."

"Hey, it's okay. Y/n look at me, I'm fine." He chuckled and placed his larger hand over hers.

Y/n stared at him for a moment before averting her eyes, seeming to be flustered as she stood up. She shifted awkwardly and stumbled backward, much to Eren's confusion.

"Stay right there. I got some first aid stuff in my car. I'll be right back." She mumbled as she rushed away.

Eren watched her silently with a shit-eating grin on his face, despite his nose and lip bleeding profusely. He watched her baby blue skirt flow along with the over-sized white graphic t-shirt. When Y/n came back, she held tightly onto a little girl's hand and dropped the first-aid kit clumsily as she made eye-contact with Eren.

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry."

"Y/n, I never knew you were this uncoordinated." He hummed teasingly as she bent down to grab the kit.

"I'm usually not. It's just because-" She stopped herself and smiled at him. "Nevermind it's nothing."

She sat down in front of him and began to clean the cuts along with scrapes. Y/n bandaged them all up carefully whilst avoiding looking at the male who could nothing but stare at her. His turquoise eyes greedily soaked in the appearance of her face, after-all with how close she was, how could he not?

"And done...Now Gabi," Y/n smiled sweetly, backing away from him as she grabbed the little girl's hand again. "Apologize to Eren. He could have gotten hurt."

"Why should I care? I was there first. He almost messed me up and then I'd have to start all over with my chalk." Gabi sneered and crossed her arms.

"Gabi! Apologize now. Or I'll make sure Reiner, knows about your behavior recently." Y/n said sternly.

"Fine. I'm sorry. Sorry, that you got in my way." Gabi stuck her tongue out at Eren and blew a loud raspberry.

"That's it go stand by the car. Right now." Y/n snapped looking at the child.

"But-" Gabi started as her eyes widened, seeming to not be used to punishment from Y/n.

"No buts. Go. Now." Y/n demanded pointing at the car.

Gabi walked away grumbling to herself and Y/n looked back at Eren apologetically. He stared at her with a raised eyebrow and an amused grin.

"Charming kid."

"She usually isn't like this."

"Oh really? She seems like an angel." He sarcastically replied.

"I'm sorry Eren. Is there any way I can make it up to you?" She mumbled softly looking at him with her big brown eyes.

Eren stiffened up and silently began to recite the pledge of allegiance, there was no reason for how ridiculously attractive she looked when she said that little stupid phrase.

"Let me take you on a date." He blurted dreamily not realizing it had slipped out of his mouth.

"A date?" Y/n questioned curiously.

"Yes. A date, you and me." He responded despite his chest-beating heavily.

"...I don't know." She mumbled looking away from him.

"Y/n..." Eren stood up and looked down at her, cupping her face gently, adrenaline pumping through his veins. "I've had the biggest crush on you since sophomore year. I thought that it would just go away but no matter what I've always just thought about you. Despite the two other girls I've dated, I wanted you. I've never dared to ask you because you're clearly out of my league and I just-"

He was silenced by Y/n pressing her lips against his mouth and Eren was sure he felt his knees buckle, the taste of her vanilla lip-gloss was the tastiest thing he had consumed. He kissed back desperately not wanting the moment to end, his hands held her jaw a little tighter. Y/n broke the kiss first with a bashful smile.

"I like you Eren. I've liked you since middle school. I was just nervous because I thought you were out of my league."

"Bullshit, you're like an Earth goddess and I'm just a dumbass." He protested as his hands found their way to her hips.

"No, you're sweet, caring, friendly, and all-around a really good guy." She hummed wrapping her hands around his neck.

"Mm well, I guess I can say this shit was worth the wait." He leaned down their noses touching gently.

"Definitely," Y/n repeated before Eren captured her lips into another sweet kiss.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay, I need to go now." Y/n laughed as he peppered kisses down her shoulder.

"Mm then leave" Eren mumbled nipping at her skin softly.

"I would but you won't let me leave your lap." She retorted as she looked down at his hands that held tightly onto her waist.

"Then I guess you can't go." He grinned.

"Okay, you guys are starting to make me sick." Jean stood up, setting his controller down.

"Yeah me too, Armin why the fuck did you have to set them up." Connie mumbled as he painted his nails.

"What?" Eren paused his motions and looked at his blonde best friend, who was reading a book.

"You guys kept moping to me about liking each other and whenever I advised to just be upfront about your feelings, you guys just ignored me. What else was I supposed to do?" He questioned setting his book down, as it dawns on both Y/n and Eren; they had been manipulated.

"Dammit, Armin." Y/n mumbled despite the smile on her face.

Eren was definitely in Armin's debt forever after realizing he was the reason that Y/n was his girlfriend. The brunette smiled thinking of the perfect way to help his friend, and what better way could he repay him by setting him up with his crush as well?

So Kristen Bell plays a character named Anna, who has a knack for doing detective work, and was married to a nerdish black guy.

So subtle.

U got any shigaraki and deku acting like siblings hcs ? 😁

A. BUNCH. AND THEY ARE ALL YOURS :

*Note: I have a little sister myself, so I know how the sibling culture goes 🙄😈. And oh, we even trained Tae Kwon Do together, so you can included the real fights in the list.

First of all, we're not talking about two calm and collected, perfectly behaved boys.

Let's imagine they keep all for one and one for all, but instead of being like gods, they stay with only two quirks and their power is reduced, and also they can't pass the quirk to another person or steal other quirks any more. They're stuck.

Deku has his superpower and black wip. Tomura has his decaying quirk (under control now) and he can float, just like Nana.

And because they are two stubborn little pricks, they argue all. the. time.

Don't get me wrong, they normally won't react like that with other people. Tomura would let you slap him and he won't even blink. Same with Deku. But as it often happens, no one can push our buttons like our siblings.

That's exactly why, at least once a week, someone needs to interfere in their fights.

I mean the "they're up in the sky fistfighting, kick hitting, swearing like sailors" type.

I'm not promoting violence on here. THIS IS HOW MANY SIBLINGS WORK, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT.

Tomura feels the sudden urge to kick Deku while he's walking down the hall. Deku wants to save his game over Tomura's session because "oops". They like different foods. They argue about if a certain pro-hero is cool or totally useless. Tomura thinks Deku's hair looks like moss and Deku tells him he's like a failed Monster High.

And they fight.

Now, this is a typical case of "no one can insult my brother except me".

No one defends Tomura as much as Deku does. I'm talking about Deku telling to All Might's face he's being a dick and Deku telling Bakugo to shut the fuck up.

And then you have Tomura, former symbol of fear. After redeeming himself, you can bet his favorite new hobby is picking assholes apart via analyzing them and telling them what's wrong with their childhoods and traumas.

That's absolutely not nice of him. But come on, let's talk real. None of them are saints and none of them are where they are because they're nice all the time.

They are what everyone fears compacted in two weirdly buff geniuses. They are nerds and they are awkward and fight over who's asking for the pizza this time, and at the same time they obey no authority but themselves.

Deku is like “if you don't like Tomura, keep that to yourself. It's embarrassing.”

Tomura is like "If can't stand Deku, then kneel before him.”

One is a former villian, the other is an almost villians and the best they can do it's meet in the middle: gray moral characters that, in lack of a better option, created their own side.

Let's change subject to what really matters:

They are annoying.

You can't possibly watch a movie with them. They talk too much, criticize too much, have an entire combo of figuring out the ending in the middle of the movie and they ruin it because they are too smart. They are officially banned from movie nights.

I've say this before, but the amount of inner jokes and references? Heavens save us all.

They can be referring to something nerdish, like a fact you wouldn't know if you weren't well versed on Victorian authors, and the next minute they would be talking in tiktoks and YouTube recommendations at 3am.

Kings of bullshit. They don't have a single clue what they're doing. They're figuring out while it goes. Plan? What plan? They're baffling. If you listen to them for too long, you're gonna lose your mind.

They're also banned from playing scrabble. Tomura always make up words that somehow exists and Deku is a walking dictionary.

When they're alone, they're nice to play with. Deku is a wonderful team mate and friend. Tomura is actually pretty chill and funny.

What the fuck happens when they get together, no one knows. They are like sure of themselves and all that self-confidence turns into chaotic energy. They can just be chilling around or not even talking, but the tension is there, not between them, but to the rest of the room. They could begin their activity at any minute.

Their direct rivals are Aizawa and Bakugo.

It's the only way you can balance the situation. And I'm not talking about fights, I'm talking about the game nights still.

You have the decaying-bunny duo vs the eraser-dynamite duo. This is, and I'm not gonna lie, actually a pretty intense and funny rivaly situation. Everyone needs to pick a side and then they go.

There's another duo that can face the decaying-bunny team, and that's the Todosiblings. The problem is that Shoto and Dabi are half of the time supporting Deku and Tomura on their chaos, and half of the time fighting them.

You have the Voice of Reason team (Spinner and Iida), the Bloody Gravity team (Uraraka and Toga) and the Dadteam (Kurogiri and All Might).

Imagine how intense are Tomura and Deku as siblings that they forced other people into creating teams to fight them. Not because they wanted to, but because people found it necessary.

Oh but boy, you can bet they are also maximum crushes of half the world.

They are the type of celebrities you call assholes when they appear on the news after saving a bunch of people from a natural disaster. They are talking with the reporters and??? They look fresh and smiley, gentle and charming, almost naive, but you're getting distracted because how can they be so handsome???

Misters "I don't know how popular I am" because they're clueless, they don't know how often they break the internet with their online activities.

Their merch is everywhere. They make the money they need just by accepting appearing on ads and commercials or doing cameos on TV shows, music videos, etc.

AND THEY ARE ASSHOLES ONCE MORE??? BECAUSE THEY PLAY WITH THEIR AUDIENCE IN THE CUTEST AND MOST FRUSTRATING WAY POSSIBLE.

“Are you dating someone”, “Oh, am I?”

All I'm saying is that they have an amazing connection. They are best friends and rivals and worst enemies and each other's fans #1.

I love the headcanons of them being cute, a little distanced siblings, but I prefer the cheer chaos of them being really close.

Mostly because I know they could have the type of bond that gets you through the worst times. The type where you don't need to use your words, you can talk with your eyes, just by looking at your brother and you already know what they're thinking.

And this has so many implications. From stupid things like Tomura sitting on a shopping card while Deku buys the things they need for the week, to them both fighting side by side against the worst enemies they could think of.

But those implications are things that I need to study further in future posts. 😉 So don't be afraid to ask for more headcanons about the decaying-bunny duo.

♥ High school ♥

sc plot : 4 new students, attractive point of views

wc : 1694

add-on : basically you in my life without the kids from earthbound

Play song while reading for best experience!

Enjoy!

I sighed as I clutched my backpack. Another boring day

Is life always gonna be this boring?

I hopped off the school bus and made my way towards the giant public school with the crowd

" Where do you want me to set this Ms. Mills? " I looked over to my calculus teacher and she pointed towards her front desk. I nodded and got up. Earning a few snickers from the girls in the back.

" Put some pants on, girl. "

Maria said sarcastically.

I laughed.

I was wearing my favorite oversized black sweater on top of my shorts which aren't buttshorts. I hated the girls in the back.

Fucking assholes.

I heard some new students were coming today. I looked over to my best friend Neila , the desk beside mine. She just gave me a shrug and went back to work. I sighed and made my way to the front of the room, feeling some eyes on me, I dropped the work on Ms. Mills' s desk and returned to my desk at the corner of the room, leaning against the wall facing the whole class from the side.

I heard a scoff beside me so I turned. One of my friends named

had the desk in front of me, and held up his assignment in my face. 95%. I pushed it away and he looked at me with a smug grin. " What'd you get? " He asked with a mix of curiosity and assholism in his voice. I rolled my eyes, smiled, and pulled out my sketchbook. I opened it and looked at my anime sketches trying to ignore RJ laughing before turning back to the side of the room and return talking to his other friend Riley.

After a few minutes , I leant over my desk and tapped on RJ's shoulder. He turned halfway and replied with a half piercing glare in the corner of his eyes. I gasped exaggeratedly which made him turn all the way around facing me with a ' Really? How lame ' look. This time it was my turn to shove something in his face.

My sketchbook.

He grabbed it without actually looking at what was on the page and was about to get up and throw it out into the trash but as he was getting up

" Please RJ, please please please I'm serious just this onceeeee. " I said startling him and after a minute he sighed and mumbled something under his breath and sat back down bringing the sketchbook up near his face so he can actually examine it.

" What the fuck is this? " He looked up at me with the most pissed off look ever.

I grinned devilishly at him and pointed to the page that was being revealed. " You, getting bombed and shot by some mini guns in your favorite game warzone. Like it? " I asked raising my brows like a idiot trying to be funny.

He sighed, face palmed, set my sketchbook back on my desk and turned around pretending I didn't even exist.

Wow thanks, I mouthed and laughed to myself. Neila looked at me with a thumbs up and mouthed, "draw me and garmadon". Which made me nod historically thinking about the movie of her fictional 174 year old husbando from Ninjago.

Suddenly the door was met with a knock which caused some of us to be at ease and started instantly whisper-chatting as this gave us a chance to, while the teacher would go to the door and open it, expecting it to be a kid or a teacher I sighed and relaxed in my chair a little more putting one of my airpods in my ear again and hit play, starting to play my favorite playlist. The teacher did certainly open the door and I was correct.

Or was I

The teacher turned back to us,

" Alright everyone, these are going to be our new students. "

Everyone's attention glided back to the teacher and the door that was slightly opened.

4 kids walked in after a moment or two. 3 boys and 1 girl. They looked completely different then what I had pictured. The 3 guys looked very different compared to each other aswell. One was dressed very nice, another very casual, and one... genie styled...? The girl dressed very pretty though. Definitely got all the boys attention too. Some people snickered. Guessing it was the girls.

Assholes.

" Please introduce yourselves to the class " Ms. Mills nodded to the group of kids. The kid in the blue and red baseball cap looked really excited to, while the girl looked quite shy, so did the kid in the nerdish glasses, but the guy in the white robe looked very chill.

" Heyo! I'm Ness. A pleasure to be here! "

Ness said tilting his cap sideways like, as if he's greeting someone, which looked really cute.

I did hear some girls kya in the back. But I ignored them.

Ness was 5"8. He had black and short messy hair above it was a red and blue cap with a pin, he also wore a red and white high school sports like jacket, assuming that it was the schools jacket he went to before he came here, and underneath it was a blue and yellow shirt. A nice and tidy pair of jeans, white socks tucked in and his sport like jacket was matching with his sport like red and white shoes. He looked very casual but manly.

All this time I was thinking, he was scanning the room while some people asked some questions. But what I didn't notice is that he eventually laid his eyes on me. I felt my face heat up in a few seconds. He grinned at me widely.

He looks Fun.

Once Ness looked back to the class and finished answering some other random questions, he stepped aside and the next one stepped up,

The girl was up next.

" H-Hi! My name is Paula! I hope that we can all get along! " Paula exclaimed with a small curtsy holding the tips of each end of her skirt like dress. Some boys laughed and stared at her recent antics. Their was a audible whistle in the background which caused Paula to squirm a bit with her hands and shuffle her feet around. But people just laughed it off. Jeez, the pressure here.

Paula was 5"4. She had blueberry blue eyes, vibrant blonde hair, bangs that went to her eyebrows, her hair was wavy and tied in a long ponytail with a small red bow. She also had makeup on, not too much, just a bright red lipstick and mascara. She also wore a white turtle neck and over top was a strapped pink dress but the length was like a skirt. It also had a tiny teddy bear icon on it at the bottom. She wore knee high white socks and red low heels.

She nodded her head and then she quickly looked away and hid behind Ness, he obviously laughed, causing her to hide her eyes behind her bangs and a small but noticeable blushed crept on her face which was very cute. She looks adorable.

She peeked over his shoulder and watched as the next one stepped up.

The nerdish boy.

He stepped up very awkwardly which was hilariously cute.

" Uh, Hi. I'm Jeff... I u-uh.. like guns? " This caused the whole room to go quiet which turned to loud laughter erupting from everyone's mouths. I looked over to Neila , she looked like she felt bad for the poor guy. Then to Rj, who was laughing with the rest of them. I felt bad for Jeff

Jeff was 5"7. He wore his hair nice and neatly placed, he had a slightly visible mustache, his eyes covered by his glasses. He wore a long white collar top and over it a green woolen tank top sweater, a nice red bow aswell but placed in the middle of where the collar parts. He had navy blue jeans around his waist that held up tight with a plain black belt and brown classic shoes. He also had pink and blue socks you assumed his mother forced him to wear. He also had a brown backpack around his shoulders. In back which looked like a satellite.

Cool

He looked very shy but it was cute

Now it was the genies turn

He looked very chill, he lightly placed a hand on Jeff's right shoulder as if he was there to support him and they both nodded. Jeff shuffled behind the genie man and the genie man stepped up.

Hands was placed in his pockets he looked up to the classroom with a unreadable expression. The classroom was very quiet at times like these. Then he had a polite smile plastered on his face. " G'day to you all, The Name is Poo. "

was all Poo said with a nod and kept his mouth shut as if he didn't care. Some snickered at his name. Although his smile was still set on his face he didn't really care for it,

he was trying to be as polite as possible.

Poo was 6"1. He had jet black colored eyes, a slightly visible mustache like Jeff, and a tied mini black beard at the bottom of his chin. His hair was shaved off though it was a buzz cut and he had some hair in the front popping out and a tied ponytail in the back. He also had a single hoop on his left ear. He wore a sleeveless like, white body suit, type of robe and a black belt around it. He wore blue big but thin wristbands and white socks with black genie like shoes.

I smiled in enthusiasm which he had noticed and nodded to me before stepping back to join the others. He looks sexy.

I shook my head at those thoughts. Maybe I can go talk to them later I thought and smiled to myself before looking back to my sketchbook.

Hi! Idk much about alchemy but you've gotten me heckin interested from RWBY metas. The only thing I associate with alchemy is an angry little Ed Elric lol. But seriously, do you think Touya's hair will go back to red?? I love his white hair but I think it would be cool for it to go back to red. But at the same time it would be very much an Enji trait and idk that sits weird with me. I always liked that the kids mostly look like Rei. But I wouldn't be mad at it at all if it went back to red :')

That’s been my theory but it could be more symbolic (ie red clothes or something). I also really do not want his body rewound to kid Touya lol. But as I’ve said in RWBY, the yellow stage is often compressed to red, so there are three stages: Black, White, and Red. The fact that Dabi is drawn a bit from Frankenstein (which does allude to literary alchemy) and the obvious progression of his hair from red to white to black, and now back to white and now with some hints of red just fits the pattern. It may well not be deliberate (it’s a pattern in literature), but it’s just something cool I noticed. Dabi also mighhht have a Phoenix association (or so it is speculated but there’s not much evidence in canon yet), which is the bird of the red stage (yes all the stages have birds associated and yes I’m working on a RWBY Meta for that!) and signifies rebirth, completion, and new life.

Plotwise genetics are pretty whatever in BNHA so I wonder if he loses his quirk if it would somehow revert to red? But it doesn’t have to happen; it’s just an idea. BNHA isn’t structured as an alchemical story in the same sense that like RWBY or Asoiaf or MXTX novels are, but it does have some allusions, so I’ve wondered if this will play out privately since the white hair reveal. The red sprouts in this art nerdish excite me haha.

Obey Me! MC Character Sheet

Thanks to @kyungi-i for the spred sheet! I've seen others do it and thought why not me?

Name: Alisa Moreno

Nickname: Ally, Lisa, Li-Li, Al, Isa, Moreno

Age: 18

Height: 5'3

Weight: 170

Race: Human

Gender: ♀️

Birthday: April 13

Star Sign: Aries

Hair Color: Brown (pink streaks)

Eye Color: Brown

Skin: Brown/freckled

Demon brother, she is most to least like:

1. Levi

2. Belphie

3. Satan

4. Lucifer

5. Beel

6. Mammon

7. Asmo

Personality: she's pretty cynical and pessimistic, she also seems very aloof but somehow has a way of knowing a little bit of everything that's going on. When she wants to be she can be very observative and dedicated to her work, otherwise, she can come off as lazy, or disinterested just as much as aloof. Her snide personality comes off subtle mostly due to her wallflower and nerdish appearance. And she does have trouble getting to know other people due to her self-consciousness, low self-esteem and social anxiety; all of which she masks under witty remarks, jokes, and sarcasm. She puts up walls and its difficult to get to know her past surface level, despite it all Lisa does have a soft side and softens up around people that have a natural kindness and positivity about them or are straightforward. She has a good sixth sense, which helps her be an extremely good judge of character more often than not she is correct about her intuition regarding others' intentions towards her. Lastly, she has a bad habit of acting out and deliberately going against authority, she doesn't like feeling controlled and being told what to do. She'll usually follow the rules because she can't be bothered with the effort to break them but if she feels like someone's trying to control her or that she's being patronized then she will deliberately go out of her way to break the rules.

Background: Before coming down to Devildom, Lisa, despite only being 18 had already finished all her schooling, including higher education. Back on earth, she was recognized as a child prodigy in her research on historical documents and records, despite her early achievements at such an early age, the pressure of being placed on such a high pedestal career-wise eventually got to her and she fizzled out. Growing up an orphan without a past or family, the academy she worked for and her work was all she had, after she cracked due to the pressure she ran away hoping to live out the youth she felt she had never experienced in childhood. At age 16 she was a runaway and going under a different name. She lived on the streets and squatted in abandoned buildings for a few months before she met some people that offered to help her. During this time she developed an interest in music seeing as the people who helped her were a musical band full of teens just like her.

In order to stay with them, she lied to them about the truth of who she was and why she ran away. She stayed with one of the band members she had become close to during her initial days of having met them. While she stayed with them she learned how to play several instruments and eventually sing as well. She went on to perform with them but after two years of playing with them musical difference surged and a fight broke out, after which Alisa decided to run away again. It was during her second night of squatting in an abandoned house that she woke up in Devildom.

Hobbies: Music; Singing, Electric Guitar, Violin.

Likes: Sweets, Reading, Music, Animals, Writing, Video Games and drawing.

Dislikes: Liars, being lied to, math, meddling (Ironically), cruelty, injustice/unfairness and short tempers. Words that sound one way but are spelled another, or that sound like they mean one thing and then mean something else.

Appearance:

She's fairly average height. She's on the plump side, with a rounded face that makes her look baby-faced. She has freckles but due to her brown skin they're difficult to notice. Her eyes are rounded and large despite the dark circles brought on by years of bad sleeping. Her hair is short in a bob cut and wavy/curly, usually, she has a singular braid running down her left side. She wears glasses to see and prefers to wear loose-fitting clothing except for at performances. She tends to dress on the nerdy side.

Casual Clothing -

• Top: Sky Blue sweater rather loose fitting sweater over a white button up blouse.

• Bottom: plaid moss green skirt. Over the knee length, style is somewhat pencil skirt. Black tights under skirt.

• Shoes: Brown Boots.

• Accessories: star-shaped hair clip, silver necklace with a star pendant, a bunch of woven, or leather, or beaded bracelets.

• Glasses: Yes. Black plain.

Uniform:

Alterations?

Not many, she wears the uniform properly a skirt version with the same black tights underneath the skirt. And a light blue tie on her uniforms blouse.

• Mother: N/A

• Father: N/A

• Siblings: N/A

• Pets: A black cat she adopted during the first time she ran away, she found her in one of the abandoned buildings fed her and the cat kept following her after that. Her name is Pandora.

• Friends: Prior to joining the band Alisa had none, after joining the band she made 2, Lydia and Florence. The lead singer and drummer of the band, respectively. She stayed with Florence and her grandmother during her time in the band.

• Past Relationships:

She had a mentor/advisor who eventually became a colleague when she finally started working with the academy. She was very close to her and was her only actual relationship. Her relationship with Dr. Aver was the closest she's ever had to a familial relationship. In the early stages of their relationship Aver became endeared with a rather small and young Alisa and tried to offer her the closest thing to a family she could through her and her husband. While they had a solid well-going relationship, they hit an obstacle when Aver was offered a position teaching at a highly prestigious institution abroad. Aver tried to keep connected long distance but it all came to an end when Alisa ran away.

Alisa dated three times during her time in the band the first relationship was bad from the start and ended badly, the second and third one ended with Alisa self-sabotaging herself due to the first bad experience. All occurred relatively back to back during the first year and half of her being in the band.

The first one though was the longest one, which lasted for 9 months. The last two were relatively short-lasting about a month to two each.

Sexuality: Unsure, possibly Pan.

Have they been in love before?

Because of her first toxic relationship and overall young age, at the time Alisa is hesitant to say that she ever was truly in love in any of her past relationships. But she was the most heartbroken with the ending of her 3rd relationship. Prior to her third relationship, the other two were mainly out of curiosity for exploring with dating than actual love.

How easily do they gain crushes?

Not easy, she wasn't aware of her feelings towards her third (future) partner until she was in her second relationship, her feelings for her 3rd future partner had started amidst her 1st relationship when it started going downhill.

Do they believe in love?

She doesn't really have an opinion on it, she's rather cynical and with her negative past experiences you would think she doesn't believe in it anymore if she ever had, but honestly, it's not something she's thought about that much. She's just experiencing life as she goes, maybe someday...

What's their type:

Alisa is the type of person to look for what she's missing in her life in someone else; she's typically drawn to kind, warm-hearted people, more likely than not optimists with positive personalities. You get the sense that she's into the "angelic" type (thus her third ex/first love) with a strong moral compass always set on doing right. Of course, this being her type doesn’t mean it’s what suits her the best. Mixed with her low self-esteem, a relationship with her ideal type may turn out to be hazardous as she might end up over-idealizing the person or self-sabotaging once again due to low self-worth as well.

Which of the 7 brothers is her favorite?

That's a tough one she likes both Mammon and Levi but couldn't pick a favorite between both. Although Beel is also a strong contender for her favorite.

Why?

Mammon, despite not being honest about what he truly thinks about her is easy to read and has always been there for her when she's truly needed him, he's stepped in to save her multiple times and she knows he clearly worries about her. She's grateful to him despite his antics, and is able to look past the big cool guy/bad boy facade he puts on and appreciate him for being there when she really needs him.

Levi, she actually sees a lot of herself in him. Especially, a lot of her from prior to her first run away. She relates to his hermit-like personality because prior to running away she was like that as well. She can also sympathize and empathize with his obvious insecurities and wants to more than anything be there to reassure him and help become more secure of himself. Despite not being a total weeb like Levi, during her time in the band she did develop some interest in anime and manga, just not as passionate as Levi's.

What do they look for in a partner?

Ideally, she likes kind-hearted, empathetic people but speaking practically she'd prefer an honest straightforward person easy to read that doesn't try to play mind games or control her. Someone patient and that can reassure her when she doubts herself, and most importantly someone that will call her out when she needs to be. She doesn't want someone that will coddle, pamper, or try to spoil her like a little doll and let her get away with things that are prick-ish. She's good at keeping herself in check but she'd like the reassurance that someone will call her out if she slips up without noticing.

General -

Fav. Food: Tamales, but she also loves Cheeseburgers and Milkshakes.

Least Favorite: Meatloaf, Eggnog, Rasin Muffins, Salmon.

Favorite color: blue & green

Least Favorite: White or Neons

Sociable or Recluse? Both, she can be something of an ambivert but prefers to be more reserved due to her majority introvertness.

Favorite Movie Genre: Droll Comedy, or Action Political Thrillers/govt. conspiracy, K-drama's

Reader or not? Very much a reader, liked it and eventually it was what her job required of her in order to conduct her research.

Favorite Animals: She likes cats and dogs, but she also has an ample love for animals of all kinds but especially the ones that can be found in the woods; Owls, Raccoons, Wolves, Crows. Her favorite however has to be the Fox.

Favorite Music Genre: Rock, though she's big on ceremonials and sea shanties as well, and loves testing her vocal range with gregorian chants and Hymns.

Least Favorite: Country

Do they like sweets?

BIG YES.

Do they like spicy food?

👌👌👌👌

Do they like school?

Not so much like but she was good at it, and a majority of her life was dedicated and depended on it, overall she doesn't have bad memories about school perse, so I guess you could say that she does.

Pet Peeves:

Loud food chewing, bad breath, meddling in her business, being patronized, people pointing out her baby face, people trying to manipulate, use or lie to her.

Marlon James could have chosen to write about anything after his last novel, A Brief History of Seven Killings; that kaleidoscopic account of Jamaica won the prestigious Man Booker Prize. So there were a few gasps when the author revealed that his new book would be what some people dismiss as genre fiction.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf is an epic fantasy quest — full of monsters, sex, and violence, set in a mythic version of ancient Africa. "The whole idea that you get to the age where you outgrow fairies and witches and wonder and so on, to the point where people who like that are considered kind of immature and nerdish — has always struck me as pretty ludicrous," James tells NPR’s Ari Shapiro. You can hear the rest of their conversation here.
