Harry Headcanons!

Top movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark + Mamma Mia. Don’t ask.

Cries at the Mamma Mia slipping through my fingers montage. Every time.

When his nephews were born he got one of his spare rooms renovated so that the twins had their own place to stay when they’re with him.

His other spare room he occasionally rents to Uni students on foreign exchange for a price slightly under the usual asking for rent. He likes to have someone else in the house. And the students like the cheap price in a nice neighbourhood.

Harry’s actually really good at snooker. He played it a lot with other boys in his year while away at school. Somewhat less good at darts, but can still hold his own.

He’s a Cat Dad™️. He takes care of Indy more than he takes care of himself.

He can, and will, get deep into Indiana Jones lore if prompted. Many now know not to prompt him unless they want a deep dive into how the novelizations compare to the films.

He has private social media accounts (twitter and instagram) and enjoys posting pictures of his cat and what books he’s currently reading, plus a few photos whenever he’s down at the estate. He also enjoys tweet-ranting about life, the world, and everything, in a space that he can’t be too judged in.

Harry has dimples! They’re more noticeable when he smiles or laughs but they’re visible the rest of the time too.

He is absolutely abysmal with technology. Despite growing up in an age of tech innovation, he regularly needs help from the tired IT department with his work computer and once had a two hour long phone call with his sister when he tried to set up his new telly. They both eventually gave up and Harry called in a technician.

Harry’s a babysitting king. He loves looking after kids of any age and will jump at the opportunity to help a colleague or friend in need of a sitter.

When he was a lad, Esslyn got Harry into cars and he quickly found a love for older models; European, usually from the 50s and 60s. His personal car (his precious child) is a blue Aston Martin DB5 that he built from the ground up over a handful of years. Working on cars lets him shut his brain off for a few hours when he can find the time, it’s therapeutic in a way. His current project is an MG that he’s hoping to give to Randall for his next birthday.

Harry keeps and uses photo albums. He likes the physical aspect of his memories.

He has never won a game of Cluedo in his life. Ever.

He will hear no slander against Mamma Mia 2. It will never beat the original but it’s still a good movie and he will spend time and effort defending it.

Harry is actually very ready to take over the estate. He’s always been good with money and people managing, and actually cares about the estate no matter what his father (or indeed himself) might say.

He’s something of a clotheshorse. It goes hand in hand with his expensive clothing style/tastes. His wardrobe is rather extensive but he makes use of everything in it, and also knows everything he has in it right down to what sock patterns he owns.

Harry likes his colognes to be woodsy but still fresh, with some citrus thrown in the mix.

He saw one musical when he was a child and decided that musicals were not for him. It was Cats.

Tips on Writing Bishop

I've been asked a couple times for advice on how to write a good (03-style) Bishop, and I'm well-aware he can be a bit tough to get a grasp on. As someone who's studied him specifically to learn how to write him as accurately as possible, I figured I'd compile some thoughts in case it'd be helpful to anyone else. I know a lot of Rise takes on him are basing off the 03 version, so maybe this could help generate ideas, too. SO!

Big Overall Points!

At the core of EVERYTHING Bishop does are two primary motivations. The first: the protection of the earth. What this means to him can get tricky, because it doesn't necessarily mean protecting the people, at least not all of them. But it will be better understood alongside the other:

The second: The protection of his sense of safety. Bishop has been deeply traumatized, and everything he does is born of a want to avoid that pain ever again. In his mind, earth is a safe area, a controllable factor, and anything outside it is a danger that must be eliminated. This is why he will still be willing to put himself and other people on the line in service of this; any sacrifice is worth the greater goal. (It's worth noting, Bishop will claim the first as his motivation freely, but is likely not consciously aware of the second.)

Bishop deals in Big Picture ONLY. Another reason Bishop will willingly throw away anything, including the lives of the people he claims to protect, is that he seems incapable of understanding things on a small, individual basis.

Bishop is a cold personality. He does not have strong displays of emotion. He does emote, but for the most part it's muted, so I recommend using emotional bursts very sparingly. (In my own writing, as an example, I try to limit my use of exclamation marks in his dialogue as much as possible.)

At his core, Bishop is afraid, and his response to fear is aggression. This also makes it particularly difficult to talk him down, if he's put in an emotional state. His response to not being in control is often violent retaliation.

With those basic tenants understood, let's move next to some major personality traits:

Bishop is a controlling personality. This is a direct result of his trauma response. Things that can be controlled are safe, therefore he must control everything. If something cannot be controlled, it's a threat that must be eliminated. If he doesn't know why something happened, he becomes angry (including even when it benefits him.)

Bishop is very low-empathy. When writing him, I try to keep in mind that he cannot put himself in the perspective of others. (Or if he can, he doesn't care to.)

Bishop is a sadist. He gets personal enjoyment from hurting others.

Bishop likes fighting, but only when he's winning. He will quickly leave if he can't see a guaranteed victory.

Bishop is paranoid. This is probably self-evident, but it's the reason he's often so well-prepared even when things don't go to plan.

Bishop genuinely seems to enjoy science. He's shown to be far more lenient with scientist characters than anyone else, and he seems to involve himself in his scientists' projects to a degree. Enough to, at the very least, understand their work. (Given he was the one set to dissect the turtles, it might also be argued he has some medical or biology background, himself.)

Bishop is an opportunist and scavenger. He can roll with failures as long as he can find something to get out of it. If he's presented with an opportunity to stab someone in the back, and he has something to gain? He'll take it without a second thought.

Bishop is deeply self-blind. For all his perceptiveness and strategic prowess, Bishop is not very self-aware in the slightest. He is completely blind to his own hypocrisies, and thoroughly confident in his own righteousness.

Bishop adapts fast. He accepts situations for what they are and acts (Though he may still be angry about them, or what have you.) This is likely a skill developed via longevity; the world around him has changed rapidly, but he doesn't feel out of place at all.

Bishop will take extreme risks and thinks wildly outside the box. Also self-evident, if you're familiar with the plans he enacts throughout the show. He'll put a lot on the line if he thinks the reward is worth enough, and he's willing to go to extreme lengths to get what he wants, even if his plans would be considered crazy by normal standards.

Bishop is persistent. If he wants something, he won't stop until he gets it. If he fails, he'll retreat, make a new plan, and try again. It is very difficult to convince him to back down (and certainly not on moral grounds.)

Habits and triggers I've noted:

Being restrained of any sort puts Bishop in a panic. He is more likely to have an emotional response in these scenarios, and seems to have (an albeit muted) desperation to escape. (See: Leatherhead restraining him in the first encounter; His reaction to being trapped on the surgical table in Head of State.)

When being duplicitous or suppressing a reaction, Bishop will go to adjust his tie. This could possibly be considered his tell.

Bishop seems to have a particular fear of aliens blending in as humans. His slayer project was built around the assumption that this is a common threat. (Worth noting: This makes The Shredder the model of the exact threat Bishop is afraid of. Technically, Bishop himself may also fit the description of a threat shaped like a human.)

Writing considerations:

In 03's narrative, Bishop is EPF and EPF is Bishop. Narratively speaking, any organization Bishop is head of acts as if it is an extension of his will and character.

Bishop is shown to strike fear and/or discomfort into most characters he interacts with. Anything beyond this is an outlier, and will draw a reader's attention.

Dialogue-wise, Bishop is generally succinct and blunt. He does dabble in gloating, though, and especially likes to upset others. If he's given a chance to be mean, he'll usually take it. It can help to consider he has a Mission Mode and a Normal Mode. When it comes to Mission Mode, he gets straight to the point and hates unnecessary talking. Otherwise, he's still not very talkative, but will take the time to make pointed jabs or talk through a plan. A lot of his sense of humor seems to be rooted in how He's Better Than You (And You're Going To Die Painfully.)

It's a common pitfall that Bishop is depicted as seeking out the turtles. In 03, once he gets their DNA, he's done with them. Any encounters after that are incidental. Bishop does not care about anything that won't effect his greater goal. If he's targeting another character, it should have to do with a greater plan.

Bishop is an extremely competent combatant, shown to be able to handle up to 7 opponents at once. For a breakdown on his fighting style check out my other post on that!

Bishop is hard to kill, and oftentimes he accidentally contributes to his own defeat. (The hook from Bishop's Gambit is an example I get a LOT of mileage out of, as a perfect symbol of his self-defeating prophecies.)

We almost only ever see Bishop in the context of his work. While it could be construed that he depersonalizes himself, it's much more clear that the narrative depersonalizes him. As far as we, the audience know, Bishop's work is all that he is.

It's unclear if Bishop was released from his abduction or escaped. Depending on which you ascribe to, this can have ramifications for his mindset on how to deal with the alien threat. (Personally, because so much of his inability to cope hinges on a feeling of helplessness, I believe he was released. If he escaped on his own power, that undercuts it, somewhat.)

Thematically-speaking, Bishop parallels both his own torturers and his own victims at the same time. He has perpetuated the cycle that traumatized him in the first place by trying to fight fire with fire. (In that vein, I don't think he's capable of understanding that, not seeing aliens as people in the first place, just dangers. Considering how deeply ingrained his trauma is in his worldview and actions, it would probably ruin him, if he were ever able to actually grasp it.)

Bishop and EPF are likely a commentary on the military of the time 03 was coming out. This can be something worth keeping in mind, when figuring out his greater themes in your story, though it can just as well be discarded if it doesn't fit.

Adding to that, Bishop has an extensive american military background. His skills and knowledge will reflect that.

Bishop also plays on and references a number of real-life alien conspiracies. It can be worth digging through conspiracy history to drum up ideas and themes, too.

The ethical and philosophical quandaries of Bishop's body-hopping and humanity tend to not hold too much weight, because Bishop, himself, doesn't seem to care.

If I think of more I'll certainly be adding on to the reblogs of this post! Or, if you have more thoughts, please feel free to add! If you're in the mood for more Bishop ramblings, that's practically most of this blog atm, but this post is a particular favorite. If you're interested in Fast Forward!Bishop, specifically, consider this post! (also read Taking Pawns. slipped in that self-promo, nice.)

#agent bishop #tmnt 2003 #tmnt 2k3 #teenage mutant ninja turtles #And man I still gotta make an analysis on 2012 Bishop #my man is so underrated #There are only a handful of fics out there that include him at ALL and for the most part I find he's blended with 03's characterization #Which takes away what makes him fun in his own right and muddies 03 Bishop's character basis imo #anyway I had this post on the backburner for a while and finally got the motivation to finish her up #And of course if ever there are more questions on characterizing him I'd be happy to help! I love rambling about this guy ad nauseum #oooh stray thought I should do one for Rat King too. Went through that guy's episodes recently theyre GREAT #I've also been very tempted to compile most of these posts into a big ol video essay. idk if I could pull it off but it sure is an idea

i think i am going to make a pay what you want digital zine this year for people who want to get into making little artist alley knick knacks like keychains and stickers and enamel pins, cuz i get a lot of asks about that and i think it would be nice to put my design skills to the test and have it all in one place! that being said, what kind of questions do y'all have about this stuff that you would want answered? everything from packaging to shipping to the products themselves, what would you guys want in there? keep in mind i have only sold on etsy myself and a couple craft shows, so i can't give much advise about personal storefronts.

please put them in the replies on this post so it's all in one place!

#not art #etsy #enamel pins #stickers #keychains #zine #i will probably put my suppliers in it for everything but enamel pins but there's a whole laundry list of reasons #why people dont give up their pin manus and its all very good reasons i am sorry to report #and i say that as a collector who loves pins and wants more pins in the world #HOWEVER i will be giving as many resources as i can to put people down the right path at least!!#that being said you might not Want to just use manufacturers handed blindly to you :') so i will be including pros and cons #of the suppliers i Do give as well. sometimes a manu is great for one person and terrible for another and both experiences are valid #it will be pay what you want so you can poke around for free if you're just curious #but if you do go into business and get sales please consider swinging back around and putting a few bucks in my tip jar #for sharing copious amounts of time and research in one little place for you #not to mention all the time its gonna take for me to compile this together in a zine wjbhdfsbhgjdfg #it will be a fun project though :) something new i've never done before

Aaaaaaa OlliAllu crushing on each other aaaaaaa 🥺💖💕

I wanna know everything about the timeline! 😍

Thanks for asking!! My favourite topic!! 🥺

So just as a disclaimer: the following is based on nothing much but my vivid & delusional imagination (except that it's all totally true and real 😌)

Behold,

💖 The Olli/Allu Love Story Timeline* 💖

(*according to theflyingfeeling / this is gospel truth okay don't fight me)

Pre-Aleksi-joining-the-band / Timebomb -> becoming friends 👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻

So I imagine that before Aleksi joined the band, he and Olli were friendly but maybe not super close (or as close as Aleksi may have been to Joel/Joonas/Niko). They respected each other as musicians and, as time passed, figured the other is a pretty cool dude to hang out with and fun to play shows with 🤝 By the time Aleksi joined the band, they were already good friends 😌

(I love how from the very beginning it was not unusual to spot them next to each other in pictures (yes yes I know about their team short/team tall arrangement in pictures, humour me a little here though)

Can we also cry about this (irrelevant to Olli/Allu (unless Olli wrote this)):

"our lovely friend" 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

2021: UMK / Eurovision / post-Eurovision -> developing the crush 💕

They started working on Dark Side pretty much right/around when Aleksi first joined the band, right? By then they all, including Olli, had spent more and more time with Aleksi in the studio as well as on stage before he officially joined the band. During the UMK/Eurovision project, however, they were suddenly working together way more intensely (especially after winning UMK), so I like to think that was when their friendship deepened and they found out just how much they have in common (e.g. all their nerdy mutual interests). They probably started to chat more just the two of them (in the UMK video 15 facts about Blind Channel, Aleksi mentioned calling Olli (and always catching him biking lol)) and sort of just drifted towards each other so that they were frequently seen together (the screencap on the right is taken seconds before they stop to stare each other in the eyes, sorry I don't have a gif of that) 💕

(and no I haven't done extensive research on how much more often they were spotted together in comparison to how often they were spotted with other band members just sshhhhhh it's not like this is a doctoral thesis)

If I recall correctly, they also did some interviews together, at least this one where they look like they had just woken up from a nap with lots of cuddles (and maybe even some shy kisses for fun (because sometimes good friends make out for the lols, right??), I mean come on, they look so soft 🥺💓

They also sat (and partied) next to each other during the finale, and shared that one looooooooong hug I mean COME OOOOOON they don't want to let go of each other 😭

Of course, we cannot forget about the tipsy/drunken cuddles during that interview (and in the hotel room a bit later, source: I just know it in my heart) 💞

(remember also the other, less known drunk interview that showed Olli staring at Aleksi dreamily 🥺)

I think around this time they also got a bit flirty with each other for the first time? At least if one is to interpret the way Olli "mocks" (lovingly <3) how Aleksi says his middle name in the hotel room IG stream they did (and of course we're going to interpret the heck out of that, that's why I'm writing this whole thing for 😌 (I still crack up at Niko's "I thought it was Mattson" every time though lol))

Another highlight from 2021 was obviously the moments they shared in the Posse shower stall we have been discussing lately, which show exactly how comfortable they are with each other 😩

Also, I can't remember for sure and I can't find the ask for reference, but was it the summer of 2021 when Aleksi had to miss a show (because he was sick or something?), and reportedly Olli had been all quiet and gloomy that day, to the point that Niko pointed it out on stage during their show, telling the audience (jokingly) that they're sorta worried about Olli because he has barely said a word all day? I remember talking about this with someone and they had videos/pictures/?? about it too, but until I have some actual evidence of this, you're just gonna have to take my word of it 😌 In any case, it goes to show how much they meant to each other already back then 😭

To conclude, I think the year 2021 was the year they slowly developed their (mutual) crush, but without fully realising what was happening. There were some cheeky cuddles (perhaps even sleepy/drunken kisses) and friendly teasing which was totally NOT flirting although it totally was, they weren't just ready to admit it and butterflies in the stomach that they tried to ignore; they're fairly certain they like each other platonically and nothing more, even though they can't help but smile a little more brightly when they get a text from each other and they miss each other a little too much when they're apart... 💕

Spring/summer 2022: the US tour / the EU tour / the summer (tour) -> getting together 💞

Let's start off with this poor-quality gif I just made, for no particular reason except that I want y'all to look at how cute they are 🥰

According to Niko (source: just trust me alright, I think he said it on twitter but naturally I can't find anything rn), as I'm sure many of you know by now, during the US tour Olli and Aleksi were often the last ones awake in the tour bus, drinking Mountain Dew and chatting away about nerdy stuff. I think this is when they really grew closer and I can easily imagine that around this time the first thoughts of "what if..." entered their minds 😳

Maybe they sometimes ended up just staring into each others eyes lovingly, before realising neither has said anything for a while (and it was sort of awkward when they did realise, but they just laughed it off), or maybe there were accidental/absentminded touches; maybe they both just felt so warm and cozy in each other's company, and even though they were both getting a little sleepy, they kept on talking for a few more moments because they weren't ready to let go of the moment and "burst the bubble". Maybe they were joking around and being low-key flirty, and when they finally went to bed, they'd be going out of their minds in their bunkbeds, trying not to think about all that too hard.

I like to think that eventually they got more daring, sat more closer to each other, and suddenly the small touches weren't accidental anymore. They could have an entire conversation with Aleksi's hand on Olli's thigh or vice versa and it would feel so nice and so natural 💞 There may have been a few kisses too, just for fun and because the vibes are right, and maaaaaaybe they don't really talk about it that much, but they definitely can't wait to try that again somewhere a bit more private 👀

Speaking of which, we also know that they roomed together at least once ("Little Man asked first"), and by some inexplicable coincidence, the two of them were the only ones in the band who got ill during the tour? Huh, that's strange 🤔😌 So I have a reason to believe the US tour was when they first got together, even if they thought they were just fooling around back then 🥰

(can't think of anything in particular to say about the EU tour in the spring, but we can look at these pictures nevertheless 💗_💗)

and then 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭

Getting emotional receiving the gold records in Ruisrock, hugging each other the first thing because who else would they hug, what more prove do you even need to see how much these two love each other 😭

We also know that in the summer 2022 Olli stayed at Aleksi's when he was in Helsinki (not sure if this happened every time he was in the capital but there were a few occasions), I think they were spotted grocery shopping together or something? They also participated in this interview together, providing us moments such as

1) the two of them sitting tightly in Aleksi's (?) car,

2) hearing that they had spent the night together watching old tour videos,

3) Olli commenting on Aleksi's outfit ("I warned you..." = he had been looking at Aleksi's dick through his pants 🥰 (at least I assume it's about the romper that showed the outline of his peepee? he says "last summer" but I don't think his outfit in the 2021 summer tour was as controversial? it was literally just a black t-shirt (with a white long-sleeve underneath sometimes) and black trousers, so I assume he means "the summer that has passed" (the interview took place in August))

4) Olli's surprise when Aleksi says he, too, would like to collaborate with Skrillex and Aleksi teasing Olli about "having thought about Skrillex last night" (don't worry Aleksi, I'm sure he was thinking more about you than Skrillex 🥺)

To sum up, in the first half of the year 2022, they got together for the first time and formed a special kinda bond, slowly falling in deep, soft love 🥺💕

Autumn 2022: the EU headline tour, the London & LA song-writing camps -> honeymoon time 💖

...yeah, I wonder what happened during the EU headline tour 😳

(they fucked. a lot. rough. this is the truth.)

...and before they left for the honeymoon song-writing camp, they did the cutest thing that any two humans have ever done in the history of the universe 😭

I mean 😭😭😭😭 are y'all still crying about this?! because I never stopped 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 you can just imagine them grocery shopping for studio snacks together and they spot this card (I do wonder what the picture on the front is) and have this grand idea and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the giggles when they wrote the card and gave it to daddy!Johnny AAAAAAAAAAA I'm going to explode if I think about how unbelieavably cute it all is, is this not something you do with a very special bro of yours?! I cannot handle it 🥺💕

In London they went on a date on Olli's birthday (yes I have decided the others weren't there 😌) and Aleksi took the most boyfriend picture of him because they're boyfriends in love 🥺

In LA we know they shared the bed (source: you can't prove they didn't!!) and looked very very soft and boyfriends; in conclusion, they were on a honeymoon 💖

2023: boyfriends boyfriending 💓💞💕💖💗

And yeah, that sort of brings us to this year and the way they are now, so cute and sweet and boyfriend and touching each other for no reason thinking they're being discreet and playfighting and giggling at each other's joke like they're the most hilarious person that ever lived and smiling sweetly when they see the other has replied to their text and being so fucking cute in Aleksi's twitch streams without Olli even physically being there and getting engaged for real and just 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Of course there are soooooooooo many moments over the years that I also want to mention but can't really pinpoint in the timeline, such as all the clothes/accessory-sharing and adopting each other's style (cuffed jeans and tucked-in shirts) and the wine drinking while listening to soft music and cuddling in meet-and-greet pictures and looking so happy about it too and in general always sitting/standing next to each other in pictures ("but they don't always--" YES they do always, don't even fight me about this 😤), the evidence is right there in front of your own two eyeballs if only you choose to see it and live like a king the way we do here in the Olli/Allu Delulu Land ✨

Finally, let me do a random photo dump to further illustrate my point if you're not yet convinced for some reason (and to reach the 30 pictures per post limit) 💖

(sorry for no sources, if this is the reason I go to jail I'm going happily)

#this is absolutely ridiculous and super messy but i had a great time compiling this 🥰#''boss? yeah hi just calling in to tell ya i'm quitting to become a full-time olli/allu enthusiast. yeah it's gonna consume my whole life''#although i feel like literally anyone would've done this better than me lol i must have forgotten so much stuff 😭#so when i say 'don't fight me' i'm kidding pls point out any details i should have included 👉👈#now on to answer some more fun asks 😏#........for christmas i wish to be normal about things for change 💀#ollixallu #answered asks #sparfloxacin #anon asks #catboyolli

What are your favourite youtubes to eat food to?

i can't say i really have a favourite honestly, it's kind of luck based. i'll usually try to watch streams while i eat food, but if ive run out of the ones i'm interested in watching, it's likely im eating to a much shorter video.

#ask #anon #i tend to watch rtvs vods or rtvs adjacent vod channels. been watching videochess's star fox adventure streams recently for example #before that i was watching their stream of eggs of steel. since that game kind of stuck with me after scorpy streamed it once in the past #i gotta get back to watching facefullabugs' mother 3 stream since they got back into that recently #as for like. non-stream related content #i watch simpleflips stuff when he uploads stuff #urban rescue ranch i watch a lot of. though i try not to watch his stuff while eating food.#same kinda goes for haha ha's videos sometimes. if theyre building stuff for their cats then its a good watch #if they upload a video of them catching and cooking fish for their cats. i try to watch those later #since they tend to show themself preparing the fish in the video. which isnt great to watch while eating.#but otherwise i just like watching their cats #im not subscribed to any but theres a few tf2 channels that upload clip compilations from 2fort and doublecross and the likes #zeyo is the one ik by name. another has a cat icon. the other only has two videos uploaded on their channel so far.#i just kinda watch them when they appear in my reccomendeds #eager to see quintonreviews last part of his icarly+ videos. his stuffs always incredibly fun to watch #but ive also been rewatching waynes sonic adventurequest streams from the beginning so i have some audio while i work #but also im looking for a song he played on stream and i dont remember where it played amongst the 10 streams #uhhh ive been waiting to see billiams third Lost series episode. because of him i watched through the rest of Lost.#i remember my family watching that show when i was a kid. its pretty fun near the beginning but. near the end man. ough.#also if youre wondering why i replied with the channels in the tags. its cause i knew id be talking a lot #and i dont know if i can add a Keep Reading on a post with the version of the tumblr app from last year.#anyway i hope. all of that suffices as an answer for you anon #thank you for the ask!!!!

What are your top favorite sharpy-kane moments?

OMG this is going to be so hard! Sharpy talks about Kaner all the time!

He’s one of the most important people in Kaner’s life

“He's my friend, he's my teammate, I love the guy and I'm going to be behind him no matter what happens”—Sharpy

Just two sexy best friends (x)

(x)

Little Peekaboo 🥺💗 (x)

I’m a goner anytime Sharpy refers to Kaner by a nickname, and this happens to be my most favorite recent moment:

“What’s up, baby...Alright, baby, have fun.” 😳😳😳 had me WEAK

Also Kaner says ‘Sharpy!’ so cutely (x) Video

That’s a very romantic celebration, they were really feeling it 👀 (x)

Being cute together (x)

(x)

Kaner calls him big brother 😢 (x)

(x) (Kaner looks so hot with a beard 😳🤭)

How would you describe your relationship? (x)

Kaner: I’ve always felt like Sharpie has been a big brother to me, especially coming in as such a young kid [like I did]. He’s a guy who’s always messing around and having a good time, and one thing people probably don’t know is how serious he is about the game. When you see someone like that who has as much expertise as he has taking it so seriously, it makes you want get better as a player, too. Sharpy: Strictly professional. [Laughs] The same thing Kaner says—I treat him as a little brother. It doesn’t matter if we’re on a 10-game winning streak or a losing streak, coming to the rink I’m always having fun with Kaner, joking around, talking about things we’ve seen in the league or around Chicago. He’s a guy who likes to have a good time, but he’s really dedicated to the sport, and he doesn’t get enough credit for that. I consider him one of my better friends, and I’m glad I can play with him.

Sharpy thinks Kaner is real pretty 💁🏻‍♂️✨:

“Of course, one aspect of your off-ice persona involves your looks. Every year it seems you are voted one of the sexiest or most handsome athletes on the planet. Surely you hear about that in the locker room.

Sharpy: All the time. I take a lot of heat about that. Particularly from Patrick Kane. But, you notice that the two of us recently did a magazine cover together, and he looked real pretty, I thought. So what does he say now? Kaner doesn’t let a lot go by when he has a chance to jab me. He’ll take whatever he can get. But I really like Kaner. People don’t see the side of him that we see. He really cares, and he’s more serious than he comes off.” (x)

Yes, same, Sharpy!! (x) Love it when he goes soft on Kaner 🥺

Obviously it would be a crime not to include this legendary recording of Kaner by Sharpy! I love how he zooms in on Kaner’s dimples 😊

Also, Sharpy chirping Kaner after he messes up and says: “Gatorade after a big win. Go home, four points on the trip.” And then he corrects himself, “three points, three points.”

Sharpy be like, lmao

“You meant four points for you, right, Kaner? And not for the team? You got two goals, two assists, that’s what’s most important about this trip.” (x)

Protecting Kaner’s virtue (x) Video

Only Sharpy is allowed to annoy Kaner (x):

Also, I really love that Sharpy assisted Kaner’s 1st, 100th, 200th goal! Soulmate behaviour!

(x)

During Kaner’s 200th goal (x)

Kaner gave Sharpy his ‘A’ during Sharpy’s final home game as a Blackhawk, and Sharpy got a lil teary eyed talking about it to the press (x)

Just a bunch of school boys (x)

Sharpy trying to lift Kaner up with Stanley Cup but just ends up coping a feel lol. The best part about this moment is that it was all Jonny’s idea, he shoved Sharpy towards Kaner 😈 (x)

Also, Kaner’s relationship with Sharpy’s fam!

I know my daughter likes all the bobbleheads. I’ve collected them all since 2005. She plays with them all and calls them “Daddy’s hockey friends.” There’s about 10 Kane and Toews bobbleheads, different ones. There’s a couple Sharps. There’s a lot of Hossas, there’s a Coach Q in there, Savvy [Denis Savard], all the old guys. So it’s pretty special to have those bobbleheads I guess. patrick sharp (via toewscrosby)

Does Maddy recognize daddy’s hockey friends from the bobbleheads? Sharpy: She knows Kaner. Just because we probably have about twelve Kane bobbleheads in the house. (x)

“I remember reading somewhere that Kaner is Madlyn Sharp’s godfather (but I can’t find a direct link atm)” via latkamaila. This post

Along the line of the last question, knowing who has the hands to score around here, who do you trust to hold your baby or not hold your baby?: Sharpy: “Little man Kane with his baby soft hands can hold her anytime he wants.” (x)

#WrongPatrickMom Sharpy’s mom wearing 88 to game 1 against Detroit back in 2013 LMAO (x)

Kaner: “She looked good in the jersey, I thought” 😏 (x)

(x)

Finally, I love Sharp constantly teasing and bringing up Kaner not passing to him during the 2010 game 7 final against the Flyers, and Kaner always making fun of him for always bringing it up

(x)

Well. So.

This was a great "before the fall" episode. Seeing both Suletta and Miorine so happy and confident the entire episode before The End was really heartwarming. I think this has been the most Miorine has smiled in any episode ever so far. So it really fucking sucks that these two are really not on the same page.

It's that classic "I show love by taking on everything by myself and lessening your load by delegating your tasks to other people because I don't want you to be overburdened" bitch paired with a "I feel loved when people rely on me and by taking away these tasks I see as special and important I feel rejected" bitch. These two are on entirely separate wavelengths and I am so scared for how this rift will widen now that Actual Potential Murder is on the table. And it doesn't help that this whole thing is happening because neither of them fully get why they feel these things and really don't have any dating experience. It's miscommunication but the type that actually makes sense in context.

But it still is very nice to see that Suletta is finally catching feelings. As heartbreaking as that ending scene in the greenhouse was, it's made me like, 99.9% sure we aren't being baited lmao.

As for the rest of the episode, some of my favorite highlights include: Chuchu's laugh devolving into a cough because she's laughing so hard, the Earth House being the best as usual, Guel has a Real Job and I'm honestly starting to really like him as a character, THE EARTHIANS HAVE GUNDAMS AND NIKA IS A SPY/MERCENARY FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK, this specific shot of the tomatoes at the beginning because GWitch is not subtle at all and I do love that

#a literal fucking visual metaphor for Suletta's feelings ''coming into fruition'' I love this show #the use of the greenhouse as metaphor is great overall imo #like I said it's not subtle but it'd be fun to just compile the whole thing once this cour is done #rambling #witch from mercury spoilers #wfm spoilers

ever realize how all those cosplay “cringe comps” are almost always completely composed of plus size, young, or inexperienced cosplayers? i think about that a lot.

#fable talks 💫#can people like. stop making fun of others online. like forever. please.#theres also kind of a stigma against people who make perfectly safe and sfw shipping content which. is a whole different issue #anyway i’m glad i don’t have tiktok and i get more happy i don’t every day #support cosplayers regardless of their weight; age; or experience. if you don’t i will eat you.#anyway back to watching the compilations that people who actually care make. fallinginfire has some great mha ones <3 #if ur more into general stuff; check out the channel j! they have lots of good comps and r a super cool person #actual tiktok is a hellscape so its nice to have people who compile the good stuff

may- may I ask for some Vlad headcanons if you have them? thx

мой Влад? мой большой мальчик?

Hi, there! Of course, I can provide you with some Vlad hcs although I think I can't live up to yours <3

And if you don't mind, I'll write your hcs too because I think more people in fandom should know them!

Here we go:

His full name is Vladislav Andreevich Kostromin-Zelenskyy

He's Russian but one side of his family is of Ukrainian origins (I would bet it's on his mom's side but it's me guessing)

He has a twin brother - Viktor (go check @rtmkf 's OC!)

He boasts to everyone that his family sausage recipe is the best in the world (makes sense because when we see Vlad for the first time he's eating a sausage! So, in my mind, one of his family's businesses involves selling sausages on city fairs)

Now I would like to dedicate this part of the post to a slight episode analysis. I sort of gave Vlad's family members professions based on the things we can find on his cart (don't ask me about their names I'm not there yet lol). Let's take a look.

First, I would like all the readers to appreciate the cart itself. Vlad said it's been in his family for generations, so it's impressive how amazingly it was preserved to this day! This leads me to the thought that Vlad is a descendant of craftsmen! And to make ends meet these 100 years ago craftsmen usually wed their offspring with the children of tradesmen and it's not as a far-fetched theory for Vlad's family, I suppose! Because look, Vlad is selling food (sausages, fish), souvenirs, and toys! Not only these goods are homemade but of top quality! So, Vlad has presented his heritage as a craftspeople's kid and it was proved that he has adequate skills to sell them successfully. His ancestors who made a living from trade would be so proud of him.

Let's diverge a little from the topic. I love this cart so much I can't believe Jack destroyed it, ok? ༼ಢ_ಢ༽

That's why I'm rejecting canon. The cart is fine. Please tell me the cart is fine I don't believe Vlad's grandparents would be ok with the fact there is no cart kjashk Besides, Jack and Vlad's plan in that ep was so good I can't believe Jack's falling on the cart wasn't improvised too! When they were discussing how Vlad could impress the monks, both of them came up with the idea Jack should make him mad. And to make that as authentic as possible, Jack should damage something that Vlad holds dear. They build together a replica and the original cart stayed at Vlad's home. Yes, that particular hc was created so I would be calm and sleep well at night

However, let's come back to Vlad's family.

Remember that ointment Vlad sells to Dojo for his scale problem? In the middle of the episode, Dojo refers to it as babushka's medicine for itching. My guess is - Vlad's grandma was either a nurse or her herbs knowledge is so good she would make medicine for domestic needs (and maybe sell them too to earn more money so the family could have an easier life)

look at these cute teddy bears. Look at these wooden toys. This leaves me with only one conclusion. There are toymakers in Vlad's family!

And let me tell you. Russian wooden toys are awesome. Vlad owned many of them because his дедушка (granddad) made those for him. He enjoyed the bear ones and pecking hens.

They looked something like this:

But Vlad's favorite as a tiny boy to a 6 year-old-boy was неваляшка. It's a Roly-poly toy, which despite putting force on it to make it fall down, would always return to the standing position.

I also imagine Vlad's granddad used to make furniture, but once he retired he started making wooden toys as a hobby, which later turned out to be a great way to make a living! Vlad's grandma and aunt are very good at coloring them. Oh, and the other grandma makes these cute stuffed bears you've seen on the cart <3

As for Vlad's parents' occupation? Hmmm I don't know yet? I picture his dad as a butcher and his mom as a weaver, who specializes in making curtains, drapes, bed sheets, decorative towels/ kitchen wipers, etc. This idea originated from my assumption of what might be inside the boxes on Vlad's cart.

Ok, let's focus on Vlad now.

Headcanon no1.

He always wanted to try his hand at woodcarving but his parents would put education in first place. That's why all the children in his family went to English courses, so they could have a new to their family skill. And well, Vlad came to terms with the fact he can't be like his grandpa because he finds English quite useful. Not only can he chat on the Internet with people all over the world but also that skill comes in handy when tourists arrive. They let Vlad be in charge of the business more often because since he knows English, they earn more money.

Headcanon no2

All of the members of Vlad's family lead a quite busy life that's why Vlad wants to help as much as possible. He got so good at doing chores, everything is taken care of in minutes. It means much to his grandparents, who are not as active as they used to be (but don't worry they're quite strong for their age!)

Headcanon no3

Despite his massive build, Vladislav is good at acrobatics and climbing. His PE teacher would always assign him to various sports competitions because the fella is quite fast. And everyone's impressed with his backward flip jumps. That's the reason why jack keeps nagging Vlad they should go figure skating. Unfortunately, Vlad is more of a trampoline fan.

Headcanon no4.

Oh boy, he can cook. Babushkas know how to cook and they passed on the knowledge to the youngest children in the family. And Vlad usually amuses his grandmas with the Internet recipes he tried out. It takes a lot of convincing but ultimately a whole family can enjoy Vlad's dishes.

Headcanon no5, which is the continuation of no4!

When Vlad has meetings with the other Heylins he makes sure not to arrive empty-handed. He brings them treats! Usually Plyushkas.

However, Jack particularly loves Vlad's pelmeni (dumplings stuffed with meat). There's a funny story involving pelmeni. One time when they had no choice but to visit BABUSHKA's home it turned out the owner is at home. So, Vlad had to introduce Jack as his friend. Vlad's granny couldn't contain her happiness because Vlad has a very small circle of acquaintances. However, she bombarded Vlad with questions about Jack's appearance. She expressed her worries he was too pale, too thin... 'He is nothing but a twig!' - she exclaimed and urged the boys to stay longer so she could cook for them. Jack had to stay at dinner and he fell in love with pelmeni with the first bite. Nothing makes a Slavic lady happier than a kid, who eats fast because they enjoy the food so much. Jack also appreciated a homemade apple-plum compote. When they were about to leave, Babushka handed Jack a neat package with pelmeni. Jack was so touched by the woman's kindness and hospitality he shed a tear.

headcanon no6

Jack couldn't stand that communication barrier between him and Vlad's granny he asked Vlad to be his Russian teacher. They have online lessons once in 2 weeks. They both know they should have these lessons more often but showdowns/private lives prevent that. But the good thing is, Vlad sends Jack Russian memes!

headcanon no7

Vlad is so cool he sends dumplings by post. Jack is always surprised but writes to Vlad 'Спасибо тебе за еду' (thanks for the food) the moment he receives the pack. In exchange, Jack sends recipes from his mom's cooking book. 'Dude that meatloaf is my fav I bet your family would love it' - Vlad would often read.

headcanon no8.

Jack and Vlad give off Megamind and Minion vibes. Although Vlad is... not a servant to Jack, for sure. Aand he's like ... a meaner version of Minion ok? But Vlad is always eager to push buttons! Jack lets him be in charge of music just like Megamind let the minion provide music for his performance as the new 'president' of Metrocity.

headcanon no9

Jack has found Vlad's profile on one of these shady forums and their first interaction looked something like this.

Jack: Hi. I've read your profile info and I would be interested in cooperation. You're Russian, right? Can you speak English?

Vlad: Sure thing! But first, we have to discuss the terms, boss!

Jack: Oh, cool! I only know a little Russian so I'm glad it won't be awkward haha And before we go into specifics I must know what are your experiences in evil-doing. Because I'm searching for someone who's good at infiltrating.

Vlad: So you want me to be a double agent?

Jack: Yes. I contacted you because my granny has told me if she were to choose a co-worker she would opt for someone from Russia. She told me I can trust Russians, so here I am offering you a job.

Vlad: Your grandma is a wise lady, indeed!

headcanon no10

Jack has problems operating Vlad's toys. He struggles to find out how these can be used and Vlad, running out of patience would turn into Pleakley and yell 'educate yourself!' (however, Jack's ignorance results from the negligence he was a victim of. If we go with that detail from XC Jack had no toys. Yes, Angst.)

Jack didn't listen and hence, was defeated by a large roly-poly lol. The only toy that never fails to amuse Jack is a construction set consisting of colorful blocks of various sizes and shapes. Vlad left Jack alone in his room for 5 minutes and in that time Jack managed to build a whole city. Vlad was impressed but pointed out he can't walk into the room. At that moment Jack realized he would also have problems reaching Vlad in the doorway. The boys, very upset, had to tear down every building. they agreed that normally they would be happy to destroy cities in real life but this procedure is rather sad.

headcanon no11

Tubbimura, Jack and Vlad like to play jenga.

headcanon no12

Vlad and Jack were almost arrested for loitering. Vlad only wanted to teach Jack how to make a Slavic Crouch :( stoopit police

headcanon 13 a)

Somehow Vlad can't remember Katnappe's name. Usually, he refers to her by her criminal nickname or he simply calls her 'kitty lady'. The latter makes Ashley angry.

Vlad: Why is kitty lady mean to me? :(

Jack, without skipping a beat: She's mean to everyone.

Tubbimura: She has never treated me badly, hai.

Jack: Sonner or later, it's gonna be your turn.

b) However, Vlad has found out that if he pretends to be sad enough, she would sometimes apologize. She likes Vlad's eye color because one of her first cats from childhood used to make the same pleading stare. (but no one knows that. Ashley is very secretive, after all)

headcanon 14

Jack and Vlad have fallen out with each other after the events of Saving Omi/Finding Omi. Jack wanted no more to be Vlad's pen pal because Vlad immediately went to Chase with the rest of Jack's former team. Jack pointed out during their argument he thought Vlad is different. Truth be told, Jack felt the most comfortable with Vlad and he had the most faith in him, so no wonder he felt betrayed. That was bugging Vlad for a long time and finally, he decided to fix it up. He asked babushka to make dumplings for Jack, bought plane tickets, and set off to the Spicer manor.

'The return of master Monk Guan' is the only ep of season3, in which Jack doesn't appear, so it's nice to assume that day Vladislav visited Jack. Jack hesitantly opened the door because his mom told him to. Vlad awkwardly started explaining himself, he brought up their fantasy about the world conquest and their own reality show and finished his monologue with 'My babushka sends her greetings and hugs. I understand if you don't want to see me, so please take these and I'm off'. To Vlad's surprise, Jack asked him to stay. So, the boys had their first pajama party ever lol They watched some tv series and Mrs. Spicer fetched them some ice cream!

This hc was an attempt to fix Jack's characterization in s3. He was a laughing stock and let's not forget this boy has feelings ok? He has issues but also wants to be on good footing with the other Heylins. Besides c'mon. When someone tries to bribe you with food, you have to reconsider if you want to be still overwhelmed by negative feelings or let go and move on. Jacko did well choosing the second option <3

We stan Vlad-Jack brotp!

That's all! Thanks for reading!
