favorite muse. (muse coriolanus x artist reader)

summary: coriolanus was and have always been your muse. you were his favorite artist, and he'd gladly pose naked for you if that is what you want.

c.w: artist reader x muse boyfriend coriolanus, nudism, fluff, modern au, drabble (?), short au, soft, just a inner monologue i had with myself that i decided to pass to here, nothing sexual.

you loved him.

the boy seating right in front your canvas was your muse. the reason to your sudden will to draw, something you had stopped doing years ago.

it was just a hobby, after all.

however, now it was much more, you loved him. you loved drawing him, getting every detail right, from his loose curls to his lashes and the shading of the ambient, you made sure to pass it down on every painting how much you loved him.

you always seemed happier when drawing him. it didn't matter if your back ached and killed you because of the awful position you choose to draw him, you loved him. you memorized every frame, every scar, every birthmark.

you met him at the art academy, he was doing a favor to the teacher and had to pose naked for the class, of course, jot entirely naked, more like covered in a white silk fabric like he was a greek god.

and fuck, he looked so pretty, you were the last one to finish it, everybody on the class was gone and you were still drawing him, glancing over your canvas as you drew him, as you put in detail everything that your eyes could get.

your wrist, your back and your shoulders could feel painfully terrible on you, it didn't matter, you were almost done with your painting, what was supposed to be a sketch was, now, a complete painting of him despicted as a greek god.

"fuck, you did all of this in the last two hours?" a voice behind you asked, making you jump and scream in surprise, the pencil on your hand meeting the bastard's face with green paint and

fuck. it was him.

"oh my god i'm so sorry! i'm sorry, i didn't- i thought you were still sitting there-" you said, trying to desperately brush off the paint on his cheek. he laughed at your despair.

"it's fine. i'm the one to put at fault for scaring you like that. at least the paint didn't get on your painting" he said, looking over your shoulder, closely to the painting. it was beautiful. he was beautiful. he could tell it was him by the dozens of birthmarks you captured on his body, his face looking down at a lake while he sat on a greek ionic column. "you're so good at painting. i'm glad i was a muse to you."

his words seemed to woke you up, you looked at him with a desperate twinkle on your eyes, holding the brush tightly.

"can you... can you keep being my muse?" you asked, to his surprise. and to your surprise, he accepted gladly.

so now, seven months ahead from that moment, your boyfriend was sitting across your seat, posing naked to you.

"darling," you called, looking at him with a smile on your lips. there was paint on your cheek, a bit on your nose and a lot on your arms. "i've finished it."

your announcement seemed to make him wake up, looking at you with those bright blue eyes as he walked to you, wrapping the towel around his waist.

however, he didnt even look at you, too preoccupied with kissing you than to look at the painting.

"wait- don't you wanna see it?" you asked while he took you on his lap, hands on your thighs as he kisssed your neck.

"i don't need to see it, i know what you're capable of, darling. i'm sure it's as beautiful as all the others you did, but it's never gonna be prettier than you." he said, sweetly, and you melted away on his kisses and honeyed up words, giving in to his kisses as he took you to your room, his hands brushing on your cheek and smearing off the paint.

ah. you loved him too much.

One Piece Shipping War - Round 3 Side B

KidKiller art by @anj-does-stuff. Check out the original post here!

Propaganda under the cut.

Propaganda for Kid x Killer:

The loyalty, the way they praise each other, their past, the aesthetic, Kid's reaction to seeing Killer with a SMILE in Wano, the fact the Kid's hobby is listening to music while Killer's is playing the drums, they are made for one another.

That sweet sweet captain/first mate loyalty…can’t be beat

Killer and kids are cannonicly ride or die

Murder couple, captain x first mate will always have special place in my heart, childhood friends bonus, love that they're just unashamedly bastards together and separately

OMG they care so much for each other!!! Kid called Killer his partner! They are mates for life! 💕

Child. Hood. Best. Friends. You want more? *cracks knuckles* Growing up beside one another, calling one another partner, only ever seeing Kid crying and losing his hard head persona when it involves Killer, Killer calming down after being reunited with Kid for a bit, KILLER KNOWING WHERE - down to the centimetre- TO CUT HAWKINS’ ARM SO HE DOESN’T HARM KID!!! THE!!! CENTIMETRE!!! That’s some intimate level of knowledge right there!

Propaganda for Shachi x Penguin:

They may be underrated characters with very little screen time, but you can see that they clearly are affectionate with each other (ex: hugging in the manga) and also speaking at the same time, sharing thoughts, and beyond that, they grew up together. They've clearly known each other for a long time and typically work together very well. They are a package deal, you cannot separate them <3

Two idiots with one braincell/ two bros sitting on each other laps because they're gay / it's not gay if it's the homie

Law officiated their marriage fr

They're overcompensating for how gay they are for each other and everyone can tell

(Headcanons included) Everyone who likes a cute younger brother aura X a serious Tsundere older brother aura would love this ship! Shachi and Penguin know each other before they even met Law. I think their parents are on good term since they went to the beach together. I like to think that they knew each other since birth. They are both very close, and inseparable since forever. And it would be cute to think that the both of them only has each other. A cute and shy Penguin being best friend with a fun and exciting Shachi (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)♡ They both survived the tsunami together. And since Penguin was the oldest one. He would feel like he had the responsibility to protect Shachi. Big brother aura Penguin! He loves Shachi so much that he would do anything to protect him… They are very close for a long time because they knew each other's blood type and Shachi invited Penguin to stay at his uncle's house. ✨But of course, the uncle and aunt were abusive. Since Penguin thought that he had to protect Shachi at all cost. Penguin would always be the one to receive most of the physical abuse. Shachi would be a crybaby and cry everytime he sees Penguin in pain. But Penguin would always say that he was okay. (skipping to growing up) there's also that time where a bomb exploded. Instead of worrying about themselves, they cared about the other person more ✨I think it was Penguin would called out for Shachi?Then, there was the fighting scene on swallow island where ShachiPen fought the enemy together. I like to imagine the both of them already liking each other since their younger age. Especially Shachi. Shachi who had been protected during his childhood by Penguin decided to become stronger for him. Because of INK, my favorite artist, that drew a lot of ShachiPen, I have their version of ShachiPen stuck in my head. And it also became my headcanon. Shachi became a lot stronger than Penguin and it is now his turn to protect him. Hehehe. After Savaody I like to imagine that something bad happened to one of them. Then they finally confessed their love. ♡(ŐωŐ人)

#one piece #kidkiller #shapen #Kid Pirates #Heart Pirates #op shipping war #tournament poll #round 3 #side B #Sorry to my lovely mutual who ships ShaPen hard but heads will roll if KidKiller doesn't win this 😂#funny how the 'childhood friends' propaganda doesn't really holds up in this poll #this is the childhood friends to lovers poll

do you think Uncle Scrooge loves (in a romantic way) Brigitta? If you do tell me why/or give proff, because i really like them as a couple.

Sorry for the late reply, but I agree that Scrooge and Brigitta are very much for each other. Well, usually Scrooge avoids Brigitte because he thinks she might steal his fortune, which is not the case, because Brigitta MacBridge only wants love from Scrooge. She does not need wealth as she is a business woman herself. However, Scrooge as a bastard duck always thinks that someone wants to take his money and is a bit unbalanced. Still, there are moments when Scrooge really loves Brigitta. This is shown in particular by the comic "Zio Paperone e la formula della ricchezza" from 1995 by the writer Carlo Panaro and the artist Romano Scarpa. Scrooge and Brigitta go to China in search of treasure, but Scrooge keeps bothering Brigitta and wants to run away from her. Their dynamic between the two of them is very funny and comical. However, it happened that an Asian couple of them arranged that at the end of the treasure hunt it was actually love between Scrooge and Brigitta, and Scrooge was later fascinated by how Brigitta was very good at dealing with money affairs. There is also this article that talks about it: https://www.lospaziobianco.it/panaro-formula-ricchezza/

Yes, translate Italian into English on Google Translate.

You have a comic and "Secret of the Incas" from 1996 by the writer Byron Erickson and artist Giorgio Cavazzano where Scrooge and Brigitta (plus Donald and his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie) go on a treasure hunt, with Scrooge being greedy and Brigitta not. Eventually the two are together again and Scrooge realizes that Brigitta only wants him and nothing else.

Yes, unfortunately many people don't like Scrooge and Brigitta together since Brigitta supposedly annoys Scrooge all the time in the Italian and other European comics which is not the case. To me, their relationship reminds me of Pepe Le Pew and Penelope Pussycat from Looney Tunes, but you end up with Penelope loving Pepe even though she ran away from him before. So similar with Scrooge and Brigitta but they still love each other in the end. And their comical relationship as well as Brigitta chasing Scrooge reminds me of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.

I would also mention the comic book "A Tale of Two Biddies" by writer Giorgio Fontana and artist Marco Mazzarello from 2017, where it is about the conflict between Goldie and Brigitte over Scrooge, until they finally realize that Scrooge is a bastard duck who only thinks about money. But in the end it happened that Goldie admitted that her love with Scrooge was only a love of convenience and past and said that Brigitta deserved Scrooge very much. It says that the love between Scrooge and Brigitte makes sense as well as being the love of the present. By the way, I like both couples (Scrooge and Brigitta and Scrooge and Goldie), but I have to say that I like the relationship between Scrooge and Brigitta more and that they are very comical and partly reminiscent of the quarrel between Donald and Daisy. Although again it depends on how and who thinks for whom. Everyone has the right to their opinion.

And yes, Carl Barks preferred Brigitta to Goldie, even though he didn't invent Brigitta (Romano Scarpa invented her), and thought she would fit well in his comics, so Romano Scarpa even drew Scrooge and Brigitta to Carl as a gift Barks.

It's just an opinion and I recommend that you read those comics if you can and I'm sure you'll like them. And sorry again for waiting for my reply, I've been busy the last few weeks.

And yes, happy Easter!

Some of y'all may know that I only made this blog due to @tired-dummy although I imagine most of y'all don't. Their beautiful art of Martin from TMA in a lovechild boudoir set absolutely changed my life. Seeing a fat trans man in femme lingerie and being treated as alluring and desirable made me feel like maybe I could be beautiful too. I loved it so much, I ended up recreating it. The kind reaction from lovechild boudoir's followers empowered me to create this blog and the rest is history.

But then, Teo, the artist who drew the art that absolutely changed my life, found my pics. A few weeks ago, they messaged me, said some very sweet things and asked if they could draw me. Ater a quick interlude to happy-cry-stim, I said yes. About two weeks later, they sent me this absolutely stunning piece of art and I knew I was gonna recreate it to the best of my ability. It took a bit of searching and I'm not sure I did it justice but after asking permission to post, I still wanted to share with y'all before Pride month ends, especially given how scary it is to be trans right now. Happy pride month, don't let the bastards get you down and everyone show the amazing @tired-dummy some love for being one of the best people on earth!

So to wash the taste of the MCU’s most recent disappointments out of my mouth (and hopefully yours), and just because I like showing off my encyclopedic knowledge of the REAL Marvel comic books, here is a list of some of my favorite totally 100% canon trivia tidbits about Marvel lore:

Adolf Hitler did not commit suicide in the Marvel Universe. He was assassinated in his bunker Inglorious Bastards-style at the end of the war by the Human Torch (the original robot one, not the Fantastic Four one; yes, there are two).

The Marvel Comics company exists in-universe. They publish autobiographical comics of dubious quality about the “real life” superheroes, which are sometimes officially licensed and sometimes not. Captain America — back when he had a secret identity — briefly worked as an artist at Marvel, and even drew his own comic book. Also, She-Hulk once used some of said comics in a court case.

The combined Summers-Pym family (linked via Kang the Conqueror and Havok’s daughter with Janet Van Dyne) has a family tree so vast, tangled, sprawling, and complicated from decades of overlapping stories and retcons that Cyclops could be considered the father-in-law of one version of Galactus. This combined family also contains multiple robots and links to two royal families, one the royalty of an alien empire.

Speaking of Galactus, Iron Man has had sex with so many people that — if you trace the idea that when you sleep with someone, you're sleeping with everyone your partner ever slept with — Tony’s dick reaches Galactus. As proven by this chart made by Wizard Universe Magazine. Which, bear in mind, is out of date; Tony has scored more people since.

Not one to be outdone, She-Hulk has directly had sex with the Juggernaut. Maybe, as Dan Slott felt need to suggest that maybe it was an alternate universe version of her in a gag story suggesting any out-of-character or continuity-breaking moments were alternate versions of characters touring in 616 universe.

Namor once caused an incident with the U.S. military by coming ashore to get a bagel in what was mistaken as an Atlantean invasion of the surface world.

There was an entire storyline about Iron Man’s armor coming alive and becoming an abusive boyfriend to him, complete with threatening to kill if he tried to leave.

New York has an Alcoholics Anonymous style support group for supervillains trying to reform from a life of crime. This support group has very few successes. There is also a bar that caters to supervillains — the Bar With No Name — which has to regularly change locations on account of raids and attacks by law enforcement, superheroes, and violent vigilantes.

During a time where a Superhero Registration Act was in effect, Howard the Duck tried to register only to be told that he did not need to as the US government does not consider him a legal citizen (on account of being a talking cartoon duck). Howard’s complaints of discrimination were quelled when he realized this means he does not have to pay taxes.

The Great Lakes Avengers have gone through four different superheroes named Grasshopper. The first was killed within 5.8 seconds of joining after having a sai thrown in his face, the second accidentally jumped into orbit, one was murdered by Deadpool, and the last turned out to be a Skrull and was promptly killed as a traitor.

Because many of Iron Man’s early comics involved him fighting communists (it was the Cold War), Nikita Khrushchev is considered a member of Iron Man’s rogues gallery; he was called Comrade K and was regularly depicted sending out villains to fight Iron Man.

Doctor Doom has pulled the “actually a doombot” trick so many times that there is a persistent fan theory that the Doctor Doom has never actually appeared in any comic or isn’t even human anymore.

Relatedly, the only defeat Doctor Doom has ever suffered that has not ever been suggested to have been a doombot is the time he got beaten up by Squirrel Girl. Squirrel Girl, by the by, is canonically the most powerful superhero, with power ratings that go above Captain Universe.

Leonardo Da Vinci was a time-traveling superhero. His arch-nemesis was Sir Issac Newton, who was an immortal supervillain that murdered Galileo and liked to leave gold apples as a calling card at the scenes of his crimes.

The reason gamma radiation kills or gives people superpowers is because gamma radiation is produced by an eldritch entity called the One Below All, which lives in the lowest dimension possible (i.e., Super-Hell). The One Below All is the dark mirror of the One Above All (i.e., God); think Zoroastrianism.

Puck, a dwarf (as in has dwarfism) superhero from Canada, is the rightful king of Hell, having gone there when he died and subsequently pummeled the ruling devils into submission. He did nothing with his kingship other then use it to leave Hell and return to Earth. This is only one of his many achievements.

Jubilee spent a bizarrely long time as a vampire before any writer thought to cure her.

Quasar and Beta Ray Bill are both atheists/anti-theist despite personally knowing multiple gods, including the aforementioned One Above All. Quasar, at least, was willing to eventually shift his viewpoint to more or less agnostic; him talking to his dead father in the afterlife was not the incident that provoked this change.

Deadpool has had so many contradictory origin stories and backstories given that he eventually had to break the fourth wall to declare that his past does not matter and to waste any more time on it was stupid.

Spider-Man had an “Ayn Rand phase” in college that he is deeply ashamed of.

Spider-Man also once tried to sue J. Jonah Jameson for libel with She-Hulk as his lawyer. During the trial, he lied under oath by claiming to be a black man simply to frame Jameson as a racist. She-Hulk and Spidey were forced to withdraw their case when Jameson tried to call on Peter Parker as a character witness.

Luke Cage has a persistent and deeply personal arch-rivalry with both the Harlem NYPD’s coffee machine and the vending machine in his own office.

There is an X-Men villain named Sauron who is a former British explorer and Tolkien fan (thus the name) that became a were-pterodactyl with laser eyes. He is an accredited scientist in multiple fields, and was once the psychiatrist of Cyclops’ brother.

The aforementioned Sauron lives in the Savage Land, which is a sort of primordial lost world under Antarctica filled with dinosaurs, Cenozoic mammals, cavemen, and a dude called Garokk who may or may not be a minor deity. This is accepted as a totally normal part of the world by now.

The Avengers have had to deal with their government liaison demand they make their line-up more racially diverse to comply with affirmative action multiple times. Iron Man accidentally made himself look racist when complaining about this, while Wasp developed white guilt.

Magneto has had to be deaged multiple times to preserve his Holocaust backstory. Sunfire has not received the same treatment, despite his original origin story involving Hiroshima; they just pretend that was never mentioned.

Black Panther once punched the devil in the face.

Feel free to add more!

Scrooge McDuck, Flintheart Glomgold and John D. Rockerduck - Three multi-billionaire ducks and the 75th anniversary of Scrooge McDuck

On November 14, 1947, a comic called Christmas on Bear Mountain was released and although it was a Christmas comic, Donald's uncle named Scrooge McDuck will appear for the first time. At the beginning a big grumpy and bastard man, and at the end a happy man and an adventurer who only loves money. Yes, Scrooge appears more often in the comics, but he has become the most important star of the Duckverse in general, after Donald Duck for sure. Also as you know, he is the main star for both versions of Ducktales, with brilliant voice actors like Bill Thompson, Will Ryan, John Kashir, especially Alan Young and of course the famous actor like David Tennatt who played Scrooge very well. Also Scrooge is among the top 10 richest fictional characters of all time. And he is certainly the richest duck in the world.

Yes, I drew Scrooge along with two of his two rivals as best frenemies, which are Flintheart Glomgold and John D. Rockerduck, who are also multi-billionaires, but not as much as Scrooge McDuck. All three characters were invented by Carl Barks, the genius comic artist and writer of most of the Donald Duck comics who established the Duckverse in comics as we know it. Flintheart Glomgold appears in 1956 and Rockerduck in 1961. So, Scrooge along with his two rivals are celebrating the 75th anniversary of Scrooge McDuck. Happy Anniversary Scrooge McDuck!

Yes, I hope to do more specials, if not bigger ones related to Scrooge McDuck's 75th anniversary. I hope you like this drawing. Also my gift for my friend, @pick-and-shovel-laborer .

I have to give you huge props for deciding to interrupt your comic for the Grimm / Pearl romance. I don't think a lot of people would do that, or have your go with the flow style of creating.l I do miss Alrick a bit but I know he will come back in due time XD I am curious if he will end up interacting with pearl or Grimm more. Even tho Grimm likes murder and violence more than Alrick, they both seem to feel similarly about Death Head higher ups, the mask less.

Do you have any advice for folks who struggle with perfectionism and self esteem with creating? I've been trying to get back into some form of creative work for awhile but it's been hard. I wish I too could just go with the flow and stop caring about how good my work is, or comparing it to others.

I think the only way to beat down the need for perfectionism and self-esteem is just to beat it down. To realize that there IS NOT just two or three accepted art styles that exists but genuinely thousands! If you try to fit in into 2-3 art styles, you will never discover what is your true style. That comes out from just drawing and enjoying the process. Sure, it takes time. It took me about 7 years to learn to draw the way that I wasn't upset after I looked my art like years later. I still see mistakes in them but they don't bother me anymore - it doesn't matter.

I have found helpful also looking at professional comic artist and their styles. How many perfect styles there are? How many of them draw everything perfectly with no messiness, mistakes, odd proportions, weird expressions etc which pop out occasionally or are implemented in their art style? And yet, they are successful and people like their stories?

Is this face, head or expression anatomically correct? No. None of those three are. Has it made Jujutsu Kaisen any less for success and readers enjoying it and the characters? Absolutely not!

So why should you beat yourself up for not getting it perfect when people earning their living with art don't do it perfectly either?

I personally always think about Billy Idol and what he did in his career as a punk musician. When he was a nobody solo artist, he decided to go to USA and become famous there with punk. Too bad that just recently, the most well-known and super famous punk band Sex Pistols had came back from USA because they flopped there completely. USA was NOT ready for punk. Did it stop Idol from going? No. He went there.

In the USA, wherever he went, all record labels said him the same things: 1) We have punk here. No radio station will ever play any of your songs and you will never get a record deal from anyone. You need to change your music genre. 2) We don't like British English here. Learn to sign with American English. 3) Change your style and hair because you're one fucking ugly bastard. No one will give you a record deal because the way you look, and no one will ever come to your gigs to see a man as fugly as you are. Idol thinks "Well, if learning American accent helps, I'll do it. The rest I won't change. It is who I am and what I love to do and how I do my music. It stays."

The fugly bastard is still performing. Became one of the biggest artist on the 80's. Made punk music radio friendly. His gigs were sold out. He was the 80's sex symbol and his music videos (and Idol himself) were sold with sex to female fans. His still got the ugly white hair which was supposed to stop him from ever getting any music deals.

So. Stay true to who you are. Keep creating. Even if no one drew the same way you to, keep drawing! Even if everyone drew with the exact same style as you do, keep drawing! Look at art, look outside of the (fandom) normal art you see - what styles exists? How you can do art in many ways. Go to art museums, go to see things which don't even make sense to you - you have now seen a new way of doing things.

Can I tell yall how much I love Spamton? Cuz HOOO BOI I love Spamton. I can't fully put it into words why I love this guy so much. He feels real, genuine. Like he's a guy who's genuinely trapped in a game and is desperate to get out.

I really had no interest in Deltarune for a while. I had Undertale, that was good enough for me. But the fanart, especially after chapter 2, was pretty good. So, on the sidelines, I just looked at the fanart. One of my favorite things was looking at all the arts with Kris and the SOUL. It made me go "oh just like OFF!" cuz of thr puppeteer parallels. Only to play it and find out its a lot darker than that.

And then I found. The guy. Y'all know what I'm talking about. I had seen fanart of him before, but I didn't look too much into it. All I knew was that he was a big character and that was it. Until I came across one rabbit hole in the Instagram "for you" page. Spamton fanart. And suddenly, after a bit of scrolling and getting to know the guy somewhat, I began to Feel Things.

Wait, was I CRUSHING on him? My cheeks were getting warm because of HIM?! From the limited knowledge I had, Spamton lived in the TRASH. He sold garbage, was homeless, down on his luck, was living in a dumpster. How was I crushing on this guy?

I was thrown into chaos from that for about a week. And I still drew self ship art with him. It was. A lot. It felt like HE walked up to me, offered me a bouquet, and asked "D4TE ME???" and I went "Yeah sure why not?" This poor guy has nothing else.

I thought he'd be one of those f/os who would stick around for a couple months and leave. Dissappear when I had a new interest. He didn't. Spamton STAYED. Even when I had a Dªycare Attendant phase, Spamton somehow stuck it through. So much so I ended up buying two body pillows AND the official plush.

I learned about his backstory, made theories and analysises, cried over the guy, wanted to hug him, played Chapter 2 just to meet him finally, a lot.

I love this guy. So freaking much. I've had crushes for YEARS on certain characters, and yet. No one. NO ONE has taken over and meant so much to me as him. This trashy, sleazy, scam artist who's angry at everything and is sUCH a bastard, I love him. I care about him. I wanna comfort him and give the guy a hug. Spamton has given me so much comfort. I just. I love the guy okay? I adore him.

#the only guy i want to marry #gosh dangit i care about hom so much #self ship stuff #spamton <3 #the cake doth speak #finally my gushy post about him

OC Questions

Answering questions about two of my fave OCs, Ok and Ian. (Original list here!)

1. What’s your chosen OC’s favorite color? Least favorite? Ok - He doesn't have one. (Though I personally like him in red and thankfully, that's one of the colors of his church.) Ian - He would say all colors with a small preference for blue.

2. What do they think is their best feature? This can be both physical or personality-wise. Ok - His work ethic. Ian - Loving and honest.

3. What is something they are really self-conscious about? Ok - His race. He very much expects bad reactions due to him being a drow. It's why he usually keeps himself covered up. He can also be a bit self-conscious about his scars. . .specifically the ones on his back. Ian - . . .he's not. lol.

4. What is something that they’re secretly good at? Ok - He really doesn't have anything. Ian - He actually knows a lot of languages and even developed his own cipher. He's also been working on being able to play an instrument while balancing a sword on his head.

5. What do they like to do in their free time? Do they have any hobbies? Do they even have free time? Ok - Travelling. Wandering. If he's in a town he would spend free time doing labor or exercising. Ian - Playing music, reading, and people watching.

6. What is something they are absolutely hopeless at doing? Why? Ok - He would be bad at anything artistic or any intellectual pursuits. Never had that "environment" or freedom. Ian - "Lead" in dancing. He gets too caught up in his own head and becomes awkward and clunky with his movements. Ian thinks too much about what his wings are doing and stumbles a lot as a result. He can follow just fine and his combat style is sword dancing. . .but dancing for entertainment is a struggle.

7. Who is your OC’s best friend? How did they meet? Ok - Velkyn. Drow cleric of Eilistraee. Velkyn was bought by the family that owned Ok. Velkyn took care of Ok and helped guided him to the surface after their escape. . .and also brought him to the Church of Ilmater. They've travelled together off and on a lot. Ian - Rushan. Bastard "princeling" of one country who is also part of a group of rebels in another country. They met in a brothel. . .lol. Ian was there because some people told him he could find "love" there and he's very naive. Rushan was there to leak information to some agents of the king. Long story short. . .there was combat. . .and when Ian was leaving he got stopped by Rushan for a little chat.

8. Who is your OC’s greatest enemy/rival? Why? Is the feeling mutual? Ok - Drow? Lol. He doesn't really have a "great enemy" or rival. But I imagine if there was a show/comic about him. . .it would probably eventually be his eldest sister since she's the reason he was sold into slavery. His sister wouldn't be concerned about him. Ian - Rushan's sister, Azneika. Ian never hated anyone until her. She's disliked Ian from very early on partly because she doesn't trust Ian or Rushan. Ian had hoped to try and smooth things over with her, but eventually she broke his hand simply because she could and. . .just things aren't good between them.

9. Tell me your favorite moment with your OC. (Either that you wrote or drew.) Ok - Either how he got the scar on his face or when Ilmater first spoke to him. He received a scar on his face when he stood up to his "handler" for the first time. Ian - Right now I would say when he first told Rushan that he loved him. Rushan was struggling with expressing how he felt about their friendship and Ian just replied, "I love you too. At least, I love you and feel loved by you."

10. Where is your OC’s favorite place? Ok - He doesn't have a place really. I guess the closest would be simply watching the sunset. Ian - Rushan's bed. Which sounds sexual, but isn't lol.

11. Tell me a random useless fact about your OC. Ok - The reason he loved bread so much is because how it has a lot of texture to it (which can vary from different kinds of bread.) He's a very tactile type of person. Ian - He grew his goatee simply because his boyfriend at the time had one. (And he just kept it because he got so use to it.)

12. Does your OC have a love interest? How did they meet? What makes them work well together? If no, tell me about their “type” or why they prefer to be alone. (Being alone is valid!) Ok - None. He doesn't think about that sort of thing, but his type would be an intelligent woman who complements him well. Someone who is a little nurturing as well. Ian - His best friend, Rushan. While it isn't the best relationship, it isn't the worst either. It's just "different." Rushan has helped Ian learn empathy and consider people's perspectives more often.

13. Is your OC left handed, right handed, or ambidextrous? Both Ok and Ian are right handed.

14. Does your OC have any superstitions? Good luck rituals? Do they believe in and/or practice the arcane arts? Ok - No superstitions. He's a paladin who can use divine spells, but he doesn't rely on magic. Ian - No superstitions. . .he's been on truth! Arcane magic is a big part of his life.

15. What star sign is your OC, and where do they fall on the Myer’s Briggs personality test? Ok - ISTJ Ian - ENFP

16. How organized is your OC? Do they like to have a place for everything and everything in its place, or do they live inside a tornado of chaos and mayhem? Ok - Is very organized. If he had a permanent home he would have it be very clean and organized. Ian - "Organized chaos." His bedroom back home is cluttered a bit.

17. What is something annoying about your OC? Do they chew with their mouth open? Are they a know-it-all? Are they too oblivious for their own good? Ok - He's socially ignorant or "socially oblivious." Ian - He doesn't share or express his feelings very often. Ian also is very "touchy-feely" and sometimes crosses personal boundaries people might have.

18. How does your OC feel about education? How much education do they have? Are they studious or a slacker? Ok - The only education he has is from the church when he first got to the surface. He doesn't really think much about education, lol. Ian - Education is amazing and important and a wonderful thing! He hopes to write educational history books.

19. How extroverted is your OC? Is it easy for them to make friends? Do they open up and trust easily or are they a reinforced fortress of steel? Ok - Nope. Ok is Very much an introvert and is pretty closed off when it comes to his personal history with the underdark. Ian - Very extroverted! If he doesn't have social interactions he will slowly become restless and depressed. It's hard on him to be isolated, but just being around people is enough. He loves meeting new people!

20. What makes your OC special? Why are they important or different ? What makes them a particularly wonderful and/or evil character? Ok - Lawful Good drow and a paladin who isn't going to police your every action. Ian - He's a wizard/bard who fights in melee. Big on truth and doesn't like lying.

21. What sets your OC off? What will make them go from a docile little lamb to a rampaging, fire-breathing dragon? Ok - Torture, slavery, and abusing or hurting children. Ian - It's really difficult to make him angry. The one time he really felt anger was toward Azneika and knowing how she can get away with hurting him and being unreasonable.

22. If your OC were a real person, would you be friends with them? Why or why not? Ok - No. lol. That isn't to say I wouldn't like him, but he's difficult to be friends with if that makes sense. He's not very open or personal and not one to stay in one place. We also wouldn't have much in common. He would be an acquaintance. Ian - Yes! Thrift store and garage sale shopping buddy. Ian shares my love of weird pants. Rushan would hate it.

23. What is your OC’s dream? What will they do once they’ve achieved it? Are they done and they disappear into the sunset or will they find a new goal/dream? Ok - He just wants to help others. He wants to die saving someone so that his death has a purpose/meaning. Ian - He wants to see significant events and write about them as accurately as possible while also being neutral.

24. What is your OC’s favorite food? Can they cook it? Where do they get their food? Ok - Bread with stew. He can make stew, but not bread. Ian - Citrus fruits. No cooking involved! And right now he has access to it. Perk of being BFFs with a royal.

What are the Drew and Arch families like in your au? Like, their member's age, little bits of personality and such(also really curious about your Francesca OC^^care to tell about her as well? )

Here we go! :D

Warning: My AU has a slightly different time count, and there are A LOT OF discrepancies with the canon

Drew Family:

Joey's parents, Harvard and Jennifer, besides himself, also had a daughter, Beverly (Joey is 7 years older than her)

Joey's father (1936 - 1995) was a straightforward, principled and strict man. To put it mildly, he was not the most wonderful father, but he loved his children very much, but he showed it very much... in strange ways. He imposed his rules on them, which he passed off as generally accepted norms, and did not tolerate their non-compliance. He was especially strict with Joey. He did not praise his son, demanded a lot from him, did not support his hobbies, could scold even for trivial reasons, forbade Joey to show emotions, most often to cry ("You're a boy!"). Joey in my AU is naturally quite sensitive and emotional. Harvard believed that he was doing the right thing, and that in this way he motivated his son to be better, although in fact Joey grew up insecure and timid because of him.

Harvard was softer with Beverly because she's a girl and younger.

For the most part, Harvard was like that and did not allow his son to draw because when he was a child, his mother left him for a career as an artist, and his father was even worse than Harvard when he had own children. His character and methods of education are mostly from his father, except that he didn't use a belt in his upbringing.

Jennifer (1948 - 2001) was a less riotous person than her husband. She was quite a calm, patient and optimistic woman. She loved her children no less than her husband did, she was a decent mother (neither good nor bad). Sometimes she could be overly polite or mercantile, sometimes egocentric, but at the same time she remained caring and affectionate. But her love for her children could not be compared with her concern for her reputation (both her own and family). She was, in a way, vain and selfish. She forbade her children to argue with anyone, refuse, did not allow them to play games where they could "get a little dirty", did not teach them to defend their interests. She also, like Harvard, had sexist views (but her case is not so bad), for example, she, like Harvard, did not allow Joey to cry (Joey still feel embarrassed because of his tendency to tears).

Beverly (1977) basically inherited her mother's character, but she also inherited frankness and integrity from her father. She is often overly idealistic, overestimates her abilities and expects a lot from others, which is why she is often disappointed in people and in herself. But she is very caring, she always puts her family first.

Arch Family:

It was quite an ordinary family with parents, Spencer and Francesca, and two children (the eldest daughter Diana (1959) and the youngest son Nate). Spencer (1935 - 1998) was a charismatic and sociable person, he was like a movie star. Everyone adored him. There was something about him that attracted people. Francesca (1939 - 1981) was often ill at that time, and the children spent a lot of time with their father.

But love tends to fade, which is what happened to Nathan's parents. They began to quarrel more and more often and eventually divorced when Nathan was 6. Well, not really divorced. One day Nathan, his sister and mom woke up and... They didn't find the father. As well as his things. And most of the money. No notes, no calls time later. Nothing. He went to get milk and didn't come back, simply put.

Further, Nathan's life mostly consisted of whining sessions like "Your father is a bastard". He just had to sit next to his mother, listen to all her complaints and agree. By the way, Francesca's complaints consisted not only of grievances against Spencer. Of everything, may say. Moreover, she did not even explain anything about any elements of her stories (+18, etc.). At the same time, for everything else, he was "small". It's like "Participate in adult affairs, but you are still a disenfranchised child."

What about his sister? Well, the same things were happening to her. That's just she got tired of it and one day she had a big fight with her mother because of it, who eventually threw her out of the house. She was 16.

One day Nathan and his friends left to hang out. Francesca was alone at home. She had a really bad day then, and there was no one to talk to. What did she do? She went to the store and spent the rest of her monthly salary on alcohol. As a result, she did not calculate something there, she overdosed and died. Then Nate came back, but it was too late...

In the end, Nathan's sister was found and she took him. But they were not close, because my sister worked a lot. She was barely making ends meet, now she's providing for her brother too.

Nathan wasn't adored his mother, but he didn't hate her. And he certainly didn't want her dead. He still blames himself for what happened. He was 14 then.

By the way, they lived quite poorly, there was barely enough money for food, let alone clothes. Therefore, Nathan most often wore clothes for his sister, which is why his peers often mocked him.

Bonus: Nathan doesn't hate Spencer and isn't mad at him at all for leaving. He says that "for all these years, he himself has been kinda sick of living with this immature woman."

He even believes that the time when his father had not yet left was the best years of his life, and he considers his father a good man.

Well, not to say that his father was very bad, but still the image of the father who exists in Nate's head is too idealized and unrealistic.

Hunting Partners: part two

Part one.

The sun was setting when they set up camp, deep in the cumberland forest, off the trail where the nearest living things were the critters in the trees and the fish in the river.

Canned chicken soup and crusty bread was their supper, and Mercy sipped her beer as she watched Arthur scribble away in his journal, leaning against a tree, the flames from the fire cast interesting shadows on his handsome face.

“Whatcha writing cowboy?”

“Drawing the view…the river’s peaceful.”

“Can I see?”

He hesitated, then sighed

“Sure..I ain’t much of an artist..”

He held the journal up, and across the two pages was indeed the view of the camp, both the tents, the fire, the river but in the forefront was Mercy’s own face staring back, sipping from her beer bottle.

“You…drew me?”

“I’ve enjoyed hunting with ya..”

He closed the journal and tucked away the pencil

“Even if we ain’t caught much.”

She smiled “It's you, trudging ‘bout in your boots, scaring away everything.”

“Well we can’t all be dainty little things like you, Miss Thomas..”

“I ain’t dainty, nor little.”

She stood up and walked over to him, she held out the bottle

“As you well know, Mr Morgan.”

“Forgive me for not being terrified of someone who can’t reach the top shelf at the store.”

He took the bottle and took a swig, he chuckled

“And who drinks watered down beer..”

“You don’t wanna be sloshed out here…lots of nasty things in these woods.”

A glint appeared in his eye, half devilish, half predatory

“Yet you willingly sit down to eat with one.”

“You are a teddy bear compared to some, Morgan.”

She sat down in his lap, he made no effort to stop her

“Sure..you’ve killed some folk, but who hasn’t?”

She took the beer bottle from his hand and brought it to her lips, the bastard had almost drank all that was left.

“I’ve done my fair share of bad deeds…so ya won’t scare me away with the big brooding cowboy act.”

She discarded the beer bottle, it clattered somewhere near the rivers edge.

“You’re playing with fire, Miss Thomas.”

He placed his large hands on her waist, they almost fit right away around her, his thumbs almost touching.

“Did that night at camp mean anythin’ or was it just a cold evenin’ and ya wanted some warmth?”

He stared at her lips, his eyes hidden in the shadow of his hat.

“Since I first met ya…I felt something…Something I have no right feeling..” He squeezed her waist “I thought you and Sean had something..but then that night proved me wrong so I guess I was just..”

He sighed and closed his eyes, she could see his long eyelashes up close, blonde and beautiful, just like his hair.

“Mercy..You deserve better than me.”

“Don’t I get to decide that?”

“I’ve got a prize on my head, I can never settle down…never give you a stable home…or children or-”

She cut him off with a kiss, he tasted of beer and tobacco, and chicken soup, bread crumbs were still in his mustache and beard.

“Arthur..I don’t care ‘bout any of that, Would I have moved out of Valentine if I did?”

“You joined the gang because Sean asked..”

“I joined because of the scary cowboy who eyed me over when he brought me to camp, and I stayed when that man saved my life during the train robbery…”

She cupped his face in her hands, tangling her fingers in his soft beard

“I stayed because of you, Arthur.”

“Merc-”

“Don’t.” she kissed the tip of his nose “I’m a big gal Arthur, I’d rather regret us being together then regret never trying.”

He kissed her this time, pulling her closer by her waist so their chests were pressed together, his teeth tugged at her bottom lip and she gasped, opening her mouth just enough for his tongue to dart inside and rub against hers, she moaned, his fingers dug into her waist with such iron grip she wouldn’t be surprised if they left bruises.

He pulled away, she whined, he chuckled

“We didn’t need to bring two tents after all…”

His voice was low, desire dripping off every word, she remembered the night in his tent, of how he’d whispered in her ear as she buried her face in his chest, trying not to let out any noise that would attract attention, he’d left her a sweaty mewling mess and then just rolled over and slept, at least this time she wouldn’t have to walk back to her own tent, tail between her legs.

“This time there’s no one around…so you can be as loud as you want..” He kissed her neck “Ya can make all those pretty noises..”

“If you give me reason too..”

He stood up, holding her waist so she could lock her legs around his thick waist.

“Oh I intend to Miss Thomas…dontcha worry.”

A Long List of Trash Fire Lord Zuko Headcanons

...that i couldn't get out of my head:

(warning: SUPER LONG POST i havent figured out how to trim posts yet)

he's the one who unchains azula despite iroh's protests. she doesn't even try to fight him, just cries into his shoulder and keeps mumbling about how father's going to be so disappointed in her. he takes her to her rooms and has her drink a sleeping draught, then stations the best guards he has left outside her chambers.

his first council meeting takes place literally a day after sozin's comet. he hobbles into the council chamber shirtless with his entire torso covered in bandages and every council member just looks at him like '...what'

he does NOT sleep for like,,a week after sozin's comet and then another two weeks after his coronation. katara, aang and suki try to persuade him to sleep and he doesn't listen. eventually sokka, toph and mai team up to literally drag his ass to bed and tell him he's not allowed to get up until he sleeps (does mai pin him to the bed with her knives? yes. is it kinky or sexual in any way? definitely not.)

he drinks So. Much. Tea. at this point it's practically tasteless to him but he drinks it anyway because he just needs something to do and tea is something familiar. he keeps iroh on his toes because he's constantly asking for new tea blends, uncle, i think i actually tasted the last one,

he flat-out refuses to grow his hair for at least a year after ozai's defeat. the second it starts getting close to his chin he shears it off himself, with his knife, and his stylist has a heart attack every single time

when he's tired he'll occasionally jump up when one of his guards moves. it stops after a bit, but for the first month and a half or so he's really twitchy. when sokka asks, the only explanation he can come up with is that he's not used to having people stand behind him silently and not want to kill him, much less want to protect him (sokka immediately takes him out for a shopping trip and makes a point of walking behind him the entire time, but only on zuko's right side, where he can clearly see it if sokka moves towards him)

when the healer declares azula mentally unstable and in need of an institution, he shuts himself in his office for the rest of the night. no one's allowed in, not even iroh. he finally emerges in the morning, eyes red from crying and sleep deprivation, and tells the librarian that he'd like a list of the best mental institutions in the country, please, the best in the world if you can get them

he loves theatre (is this even a headcanon?). unfortunately it practically died out in the fire nation along with the rest of the creative arts, leaving nothing but small troupes like the ember island players. one of zuko's personal goals (meaning things he wants to accomplish that aren't as important as restoring his country) is to bring back theatre; he finally manages to do it after about eight months or so of being fire lord, along with other arts like dancing, music and sculpture

he establishes a national day of mourning, on the first day of autumn every year, to commemorate the genocide of the air nomads. from 100AG onwards, every calendar printed in the fire nation has it marked. at first it was called the day of repentance, but aang persuaded him to have it changed (by arguing that he didn't want guilt to be a literal staple of fire nation culture)

he introduces literally So Many educational reforms, plus a mandatory class that teaches students about the cultures of the other nations (air nomads included) and how some of their traditions overlap

he turns down the offer of having a statue put up of him in the capital. toph ignores him and does it anyway.

he visits azula regularly, makes sure she's (relatively) comfortable and well-fed, and sometimes just sits down outside her door and tells her about everything that's going on right now ('some of the far colonies have developed their own standardised writing, azula, you wouldn't believe it, and i've asked the fire sages to come visit more often—but you never liked them, did you? oh, well; i'll make sure none of them go into your chambers by mistake')

(he doesn't know it, but when he does this azula sits by the door and listens. she wonders what kind of writing the colonists have developed, and whether or not the fire sages have taken on some new recruits.)

he hates being above anyone else. never sits in the throne if he can help it, nor does he sit on the dais in the council room. when he talks to people shorter than him, he finds himself stooping a little bit to talk to them on their level (the exception to this rule is sokka, who he mocks for being shorter all the way up until sokka grows taller than him, the bastard)

the first time he visits the earth kingdom, the earth king's ministers call a toast. he ends up being the only one who has to sit out, because he's too young to drink by earth kingdom law

once his servants figure out he won't kill them for talking to him, they start becoming a lot more bold, telling him off when he doesn't take care of himself. at one point, they force him to let them take care of him so much that he literally just bolts into the gardens and hides there until the staff rope in mai and ty lee

when he needs to escape, he does one of two things: (a) he dresses up as the blue spirit and does some parkour until he calms down, or (b) he goes to work at the jasmine dragon. (b) happens less often bc the jasmine dragon's in ba sing se, but there's been a few memorable incidents when an earth kingdom diplomat walks in and yells, 'LEE?!' when they see the fire lord

the first court artist who draws him also happens to be the one who drew azulon and ozai. he draws zuko without his scar. zuko takes one look at it and tells him, very calmly, that he'd like him to leave, please.

zuko burns the portrait. he doesn't fire the court artist, but he never calls on him again unless he has to. a second court artist is called, and can't help but be a bit confused when the fire lord tells him to be sure to include the scar

he forgets the crown. a lot. sometimes he walks into council meetings in his sleepwear with his hair tied up in a messy ponytail and a bunch of scrolls tucked under his arm. none of his councilmen have the guts (or the heart) to tell him that this is not, in fact, formal council wear

he goes to feed the turtleducks when he's stressed. he thinks he's being subtle. he's not. the entire palace knows, and they consciously give him space when they see him in the turtleduck garden

most of his staff are older than him, so they look at him and see this teeny tiny fire lord who is So Small and who Must Be Protected. the day after zuko's coronation, the head chef holds a meeting where they commence Operation Do-Not-Let-That-Boy-Turn-Out-Like-His-Father (subsection He's-The-Only-Good-Thing-We-Have)

one night he wakes up to find suki sitting in his room, decked out in full kyoshi warrior garb and makeup, and just about screams blue murder. suki tells him there are suspicions of an assassin in the palace, and would you please stop yelling it's very distracting, we won't be able to hear anyone coming over that racket

zuko gets very, very paranoid of random spirits after that. yeah, suki looks like a possibly malevolent spirit when she's wearing her makeup, what about it? (when he tells sokka he's highkey terrified of spirit shenanigans, sokka just looks at him and says, 'man, the stories i could tell...', and THAT'S when zuko remembers sokka spent like six months more than he did travelling with the avatar)

on his first visit to the southern water tribe, he removes his boots and leg guards, rolls up his pants and kneels barefoot in the snow. even though chief hakoda immediately starts trying to pull him up, he's stubborn as hell and stays kneeling for the entirety of his very long, very sincere apology-on-behalf-of-the-fire-nation speech. he nearly loses his toes to frostbite after that, and both sokka and katara never stop giving him shit for it

the first time he grows a 'beard' is completely accidental. he's stressed over some trade miscommunications with chief hakoda, hasn't slept in a few days...and then when sokka arrives as water tribe ambassador to help smooth things over, he takes one look at zuko and says 'man, facial hair does not suit you'

zuko: facial what now

he checks a mirror to find that he's got stubble covering his chin, dark enough that it almost looks intentional, and holy gods how the fuck did he not notice this before

'UNCLE WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME' 'i assumed you were doing it on purpose' 'WHEN HAVE I EVER DONE ANYTHING ON PURPOSE'

he shaves it all off immediately, of course, which prompts a lot of teasing and rib-poking from sokka until zuko finally snaps that he's scared it'll make him look like his father. sokka stops after that.

(the day after sokka leaves, zuko finds that a mysterious someone has scribbled all over ozai's royal portrait, giving him a frankly ridiculous beard and moustache that literally CANNOT be grown in real life. oddly enough, he can't bring himself to care about the defamation of royal property. he's too busy laughing.)

his paths cross with toph and sokka more than any of the others, because sokka is ambassador and toph is technically still a beifong. most of the time, at formal functions, he ends up sequestered in the corner with toph and a hoard of snacks, and they talk and swear much more than they usually do (zuko's ministers once heard him when he was drunk with toph, and the servants swear the older ministers' ears started bleeding)

he restores fire nation cultural festivals, and in doing so subjects himself to learning a lot of complicated dances

during one memorable week, he wrote so many letters and drafted so much legislation that he ran out of paper. he had to go visit the nearest school and ask for some

he keeps up with his firebending and sword training even though it's hard to fit into his schedule. his ministers refrain from reminding him that he has guards to protect him now; it's still hard for zuko to trust his safety with anyone but himself (team avatar is the exception).

he started sleepwalking about two months into his reign. no one knew why. one time, he nearly sleepwalked right off the edge of a balcony, and one of his guards had to grab him by the back of his robes.

the sleepwalking stopped after around a month and never happened again. at this point it's practically palace legend.

after freeing the war prisoners, he went around collecting every single earthbender-proof wooden cell he could find in the capital and surrounding areas. when he'd gotten most of them, he gathered them into a huge pile in the city square and set fire to them with his own hands.

unfortunately he couldn't do that with the waterbender metal cells but he did get toph to come in and bend them all into pretty shapes (well, toph thought they were pretty shapes. everyone else thinks they're meaningless squiggles)

he learned how to write with both hands at the same time out of sheer necessity (he refused scribes until it became clear that he'd be putting some people out of a job; that was when he started letting scribes write very, very minor things, but all important documents/drafts/letters are still written by him)

he once put the wet end of an ink brush in his mouth instead of the wooden end by mistake. didn't even realise until he bit down to keep it in place and ink went oozing everywhere

when his guards rushed in to find him coughing and spluttering black liquid all over his desk they thought he'd been poisoned but no he's just stupid

on his 17th birthday, his first one after being crowned, he got tackled by team avatar in the middle of the ballroom and ended up at the bottom of a cuddlepile for like ten minutes

this cuddlepile happened at an event that was very much public and very much formal. it was a scandal for weeks

just. fire lord zuko, guys. so much potential

#holy cow this ended up so much longer than i intended #atla #avatar #zuko #firelord zuko #headcanons

Random Gotham Rogues Headcanons

(In honor of all the wonderful people who wanted more after my last post, yes I see y’all)

*Jonathan has a huge sweet tooth, the poor bastard didn’t try sugar until he was like 12 and eats candy like it’s his last meal.

*He’ll forget he needs food to live for way too long and eat a gallon of ice cream or some shit that’ll give any sensible man heart palpitations and just be like “😐👍”.

*Selina tells the newer rogues she was raised by cats to freak them out, Jervis still believes her. (Tbf, Selina does walk around with a cat tail on hissing at people and purring on their laps, I don’t blame him).

*Edward has a tiktok account that he made to fule his own ego, he’s a fragile little shit, literally all of his hate comments have video responses (as you can imagine, Edward gets A LOT of hate comments).

*One time a teenager called Edward “submissive and breedable” and he was too baffled to make a clap back.

*The Rogues have a surprising amount of stans. Ivy’s fan base consists mostly of lowly simps, Joker gets stopped on the street daily by greasy redditors and zealous scene kids.

*No one likes Joker, he thinks it’s because he’s “Batman’s favorite” (it’s not).

*For a while Joker has been insistent that he fucked Bruce Wayne once at one of his many parties, no one believes him except for Harvey (begrudgingly).

*He says it’s “Perfectly in character for Bruce” as much as he may hate it.

*Selina denies everything.

*Oswald and Jonathan share solidarity as “the weird bird people”. At first Oswald was a little put off that Jonathan only held knowledge of crows but soon got over that when he realized that now he had an excuse to infodump on someone who might actually be interested.

*Every time Jonathan visits Oswald’s aviary to pick up Nightmare and Craw Oswald jumps at the opportunity to talk about his numerous birds in excess, Jonathan’s a surprisingly good listener.

*Despite Edward and Joker’s long term rivalry Edward has remained relatively civil when faced with Joker’s constant egging on. That is until one iconic day in Arkham Asylum when Edward beat the absolute, ever loving shit out of Joker in the cafeteria. To this day no one knows what exactly got him to snap, not even Joker.

*Harley keeps a scrapbook about all her misadventures + friendships as a rogue, she has a habit of taking pictures of the others at the most inappropriate times (during a heist, while being beaten to a crisp by Batman, ex).

*One time Harley asked Batman to pose for a picture to put in her scrapbook, he obliged to everyone’s surprise.

*Edward is wholly insistent that he doesn’t belong in Arkham, and is convinced he’s completely sane. He’s weirdly obsessed with the fact that Oswald is sane “as well” and will make unprompted snide remarks like: “Blackgate sounds terrific, unfortunately I’ve been misplaced among MORONS, it’s a shame that the system is too incompetent to properly judge my un-categorizable psyche.”

*Oswald usually responds with a simple “🙂👍” or “ok” to avoid conflict, disagreeing with Edward could be catastrophic.

*Art therapy is an occupational hazard for all the Arkham staff. (Seriously, who thought giving super villains an outlet to express themselves was a good idea).

*Edward can’t draw so he spends his time harshly criticizing the other rogues art, that’s caused more than a few fights. The one time Edward’s ever actually done art in art therapy was when he drew a green triangle and explained in complex detail how he colored it to perfection.

*Jonathan is no longer allowed to share his art with the group before having it reviewed by a staff member after emotionally scarring a few patients. He’s one of the few rogues who presents his art every time, just to see the disturbed looks on the others faces when he explains whatever twisted art piece he came up with this time.

*Jervis is probably the most dedicated artist of the bunch, he‘s not allowed to make himself any hats (for obvious reasons) but he’s still a very skilled seamstress and has a very interesting art style (Jervis tries not to draw anything explicitly linked to Alice in Wonderland in fear of getting repercussions, as rogues often do when they engage with their ‘personas’).

*Harvey isn’t very technically skilled in drawing, but Harv usually spices their art up enough to make it interesting. Their drawings are always two themed, as expected. One time Edward criticized a painting of theirs for being “too unrealistic” and Harv had to manually restrain himself from kicking Edward in the teeth.

*Victor can’t draw either, but he writes pretty good poetry. His writing is excessively melodramatic and flowery, and his themes even more so. Half of the presentation period is spent listening to Victor muse about the meaning of life or some shit, his poems are VERY long.

*Waylon and Ivy are the obligatory pretentious painters, both have a fondness for flowers (for very separate reasons). The two will often compare their paintings and wax poetics about the beauty of nature or some bullshit before never speaking again. That’s one of the positives of Art therapy, it brings rogues together who would otherwise not grant each other a passing glance.

*Group therapy is just as (if not more) atrocious than Art therapy.

*The only one who ever talks is Joker (and sometimes Harley, but way less).

*Joker is the embodiment of an irl troll, he does a much better job at getting responses from the other rogues in therapy than the therapists ever could (usually hostile responses but still).

*Occasionally a new and bright eyed therapist will try and coax childhood memories out of the rogues, it never ends well (usually with the rogue or the therapist in hysterics).

*The majority of the Arkham staff are either terribly unqualified or terrible period.

*Music Meister lived with Edward for a short while after escaping Arkham together but he was promptly kicked out because he wouldn’t stop singing.

*Selina and Ivy had a huge argument once because Selina’s cats nibbled on Ivy’s plants.

Okay this post is all ready super long so I’m gonna end it here, as I said last time I can always make more if you guys like these (I’m not running out of headcanons anytime soon!)
