I would like to call into question Itagaki's way of drawing girl clothes. Like specifically for Kozue. Even more specifically this damn shirt. What is this? Why does it have random stars plastered in random places? Why does it say sexuality and why is it tilted?? Why is there a comedically large H? Also, what establishment could you possibly buy this shirt from??? The 100 yen store???? It's just. A mind-boggling design to me. I think about it a lot.

headcanon blurbs: chubby!darling and haikyuu characters
Tumblr media
nsfw | gn reader | chubby/plus-sized reader | possessive themes
they find beauty in all shapes in sizes, finding wonderful things to enjoy in everyone when it comes to looks. it just so happened their eyes fell on you--a lovely, darling thing that caused their heart to jump out of their chest since the first day they met you. it’s often you find them snaking their arms around your waist to sneak some kisses from behind, then squeezing you against them so you can’t run away. on date nights they hope to parade you around as they know they have their hand around the waist of the hottest person they know--their grip tightening anytime someone approaches. fuck, they love how their hands feel on their flesh--something about it makes them a little dizzy. after a full day of spoiling you (they strongly urged to shop for you in a lingerie store,) sitting firmly against you, offering bites of their own dinner to you and watching intently as your lips encircled their fork, teasing you all night, consider them eager to strip you and bend you in all sorts of ways as they fuck you into the bed. every way your body folds and softens at all angles is nothing but a vision in their eyes. hands, mouth--anything they can do to watch you sing for them and watch your delicious body arch is not underutilized.
in the morning, they especially struggle letting go of you after a lovely night of sleeping in each other’s arms.
hinata, sugawara, asahi, SAEKO, (ukai), kuroo, YAKU, oikawa, aone, koganegawa, konoha, USHIJIMA, aran, iizuna, komori, (hoshiumi), gao
this crowd does have a particular type, and they are not afraid to voice it nor pursue it. you certainly caught their attention without even trying. even during the flirting stage they’d do just about anything to close the space in between you two; you may even find them annoying with how doting they are, begging you (one way or another) for a chance. catch them being almost a guard dog around you with how territorial they get when others approach you; god forbid your body put anyone else under the same trance and spell they’re under, and god forbid anyone else touch what is rightfully theirs. there are few times when their hands aren’t on you. there are few times when with you they aren’t cooing to you and singing your praises. when going out, they strongly push for you to wear the tighter fits for them--anything that lets a little something spill out or hug you extra tight. greedy hands under the table at a romantic dinner are eager to tease you in public. their lips remain next to your ear whispering temptations to sneak off to the bathroom because waiting until returning home is agony when you are so perfect and soft right beside them. the instant you return home, there is no time to waste. but if you really want to make their night, it’s you who straddles them--and no amount of watching your flesh pour out of bundled fabric, hands clawing at your thighs, or sloppy, drooling kisses in between lovedrunk exchanges will be enough for them through the entire night. they swore they didn’t have this kind of stamina until they met you.
they strongly insist to wait on you in the morning, as they did get a bit carried away in their lovemaking to you. but nothing beats their breakfast in bed, anyway.
NISHINOYA, (tsukishima), daichi, matsukawa, iwaizumi, LEV, alisa, futakuchi, BOKUTO, tendou, osamu, hirugami

To Bikmui, falling in love is both a mistake and a purposeful choice. Why would anyone choose to be vulnerable; to give parts of oneself to someone else and trust it to not hurt? After all, they once loved their jiejie.
And then she left.
And in her wake, war.
So in many ways, love is a mistake. Theirs is, despite how they might smile and curl their hair around their finger and promise the world for a night, a guarded heart. It must be, because they spend their days plotting the demise of the gods; plotting how they might repay the humiliation of the past few hundred years; and most importantly, plotting how they might bring the heavens to their knees for all their crimes against them.
Yet despite that, they are not infallible. And though they might fly, so too can they fall. So too can they decide that emotion is a burden, and cut it from their heart, however literally. But there can be times; people for whom they take pause.
To find safety in another person is to be vulnerable, too, and so it is after the falling that they must choose.

[ blue lagoon ]  how do they typically react when faced with something they fear?[ sidecar ]  what type of person are they most likely drawn to?[ negroni ]  what is one piece of advice they would give others?
gently holds these questions at u with a gun (as weiss would do)
🐝 cocktail quiz / @endweapon
Tumblr media
[ blue lagoon ]  how do they typically react when faced with something they fear?
although he'd like to be able to say well, his fears are so closely tied to traumatic events in his life that he more often than not freezes up and finds himself unable to think or act. on the flip side, dependent on what sort of fear he's confronted with, cloud has an equally unhelpful ( or helpful, dependent on the scenario ) knee-jerk reaction to lash out & attack the source. for example: if he was to find himself in a situation where, for whatever reason, he knew he was going to be posessed / made to enact actions that weren't his own, he would freeze up and for a moment become hollow, trembling and sick but unable to find the right words or actions to rationally help the situation. if sephiroth was in front of him, he would also freeze up, but this time enact violence shortly thereafter. there isn't a whole lot that scares him outside of deeply psychological things after all that he's witnessed. the prospect of hurting those he cares about, becoming what he hates most, losing himself in some way (again) or being a failure are all some of the worst fears he still wrestles with in some way. lesser triggers shake his nerves and just elicit the natural human response to anxiety and stress; agitation, trembling, sweating, etc.
[ sidecar ]  what type of person are they most likely drawn to?
another kind of person cloud finds himself gravitating towards are those who are genuinely kind. although they might not all be as fond of him, reserved and blunt as he is, those with a good heart can often recognize that he himself has a good one when it counts. it might sound obvious, but he's often sceptical of others & expects the worst of them. at the very least, he tries to be, to keep a semblance of distance. usually if somebody is truly good-natured, regardless of their demeanour, it's something he can just tell. maybe some part of him craves the attention he was so often denied in his youth and he wasn't certain how to ask for as time passed, and these people provide a warmth he's almost envious or guilty to witness. he kicks himself for saying or doing things that might come across as shitty, for lack of a better term, to these people, and tries to make it up to them in small ways of his own.
[ negroni ]  what is one piece of advice they would give others?
don't peek in keyholes at the honeybee inn.

I know some people have perceived me as crazy romance-obsessed shipper when I myself am arospec and have a complicated relationship w/ being romantic so it’s really funny having to explain that “ships” aren’t something I take super seriously, as if a romantic relationship is the penultimate goal, and they’re more for like. exploring character dynamics for me.

HC - Casualties (Bare Bones version)
I do want to clear something up: the fact that Hilbert is based on a Nuz.locke run doesn’t mean that Pokemon automatically die when their HP falls to 0 in my version of events. Fainting is just as possible in my version of events. 
There are a number of factors that go into whether any blow could be a fatal one, which include (but aren’t limited to) the following:
A critical hit that causes the Pokemon’s HP to fall to 0.
It’s not impossible to survive this, but the odds are generally not in your favor. Doubly so if the critical hit is an OHKO - there is no coming back from a hit like that.
A super-effective hit that causes the Pokemon’s HP to fall to 0.
Strangely enough, the odds of a Pokemon surviving this are slightly better than in the case of critical hits.
Note that I specified how the Pokemon’s HP falling to 0 is a factor there. A move could be a critical hit and super-effective, but there’s no chance of it being a fatal hit if it doesn’t cause the Pokemon’s HP to drop to 0.
Where on their body the defending Pokemon is hit/injured (like, Jude’s cause of death was a mortal wound on his neck. Critical hit or not, there’s no surviving that.)
Whether a wild or recently-caught Pokemon is a part of the battle (wild Pokemon usually strike to kill, because for them it’s not competition so much as survival. The transition from ‘fighting for survival’ to ‘fighting for sport’ can be a difficult one for the Pokemon in question, which is something a Trainer absolutely has to consider). 
The offending Pokemon’s typing is also a factor (because STAB moves are a thing too). 
Just being underprepared in general - on the Trainer’s part or the Pokemon’s.
One element of being a Trainer is to train their Pokemon to know when to hold back in a battle, with all of this in mind. Casualties are almost impossible to prevent entirely (because critical hits are pretty random), so the goal is to minimize the odds of it happening to the best of the Trainer’s ability.

↑ coexisting statements about this fucker:
Has definitely done weed in his life from Alola to Galar, 3 different forms.
Still definitely a little racist to assume that he’s currently high based on ‘that look’; his ‘sleepy eyes’ are most certainly hereditary in nature.

Triad Part 7 — Trouble in Paradise
A Cazriel x Reader Headcanon
A/N: MFW the silly little smut drabble series I started over winter break starts developing a plot :o
Lmaooo I should have seen this coming. Be patient with me, I'm in a creative writing MFA program so fanfic isn't my priority rn but this series is begging to be written so I'm going to follow those vibes as far as they take me, just bear with me if updates are sporadic.
Click here to be added to the taglist so you never miss an update!
Warnings: Angst, some smut
Of course, there’s a learning curve that comes with a Triad Bond. Sex is the easy part—being in a relationship with two bullheaded Illyrian males is more complicated.
Rhys tried his best not to send any of you on solo missions but, inevitably, something came up and Azriel had to go undercover in the Court of Nightmares. It’s a top-secret mission and he has to block you and Cassian out the entire time he’s there, lest someone learn the true reason for his visit.
And… it was a lot easier to be a spy without two mates waiting for him back home. His mental shields are ironclad, trapping all the frustration and sadness behind closed doors, but it seeps out in other ways. His shadows are way more vicious than they normally are and, after long days spent playing nice with Keir and his cronies, as soon as his bedroom door locks behind him, he fists his cock in quick strokes. It takes a matter of minutes for him to spill himself into the mattress with how pent-up he is.
Things aren’t much better in Velaris. Sure, you and Cas have each other, but the bond hates the dark hole where Az should be and no matter how hard you try to soothe the ache, it never goes away.
Cassian throws himself into training; on days he doesn’t have other work to do, he flies out to Windhaven and spends the day beating the shit out of anyone who dares challenge him. When he comes home late at night, you patch him up with soft, delicate touches and hold him until his tears dry up.
Sex isn’t the same without Azriel there, either. You try to hold out; it feels wrong without him, but everything boils over a week into his absence.
Cassian spent the day in Windhaven, again, and you wait up with a book and a cup of tea but it’s morning when he slams through the door drenched in blood and reeking like the mixed-together contents of a liquor cabinet.
“Cas?” You mumble, lifting your head off the couch cushion and rubbing your eyes as you push yourself into a sitting position. He stomps past you into the bedroom and you hear the water running as he fills the bath. Stifling a yawn, you push through the nausea swirling in your gut and follow him on your tiptoes.
When you push the washroom door open, you see his broad shoulders bent over the edge of the half-filled tub, bloodied and shaking with the force of his sobs.
You surge forward and fall to your knees next to him, wrapping your arms around his middle.
“Shhh, it’s okay, baby,” you whisper, rubbing his back. His head drops to your chest and you feel his rumbling anger in your soul.
Y/N? It’s Rhys’ voice in your head, tentative and sheepish. Is he okay?
No, you snarl back, immediately feeling guilt for the harshness of your words. But Ariel is gone, Cassian is broken, and your heart is torn in two. You force yourself to be gentler as you ask: Is there something I should know?
Rhys hesitates. Devlon called me in to fetch him this morning and… it wasn’t pretty. I’ll send word to Madja and tell her you’re going to be out for a few days.
Before you can protest, he continues. I know you’ve been working overtime. You’re running yourself ragged, Y/N. You need a break just as much as he does.
Rhysand cuts off the mental connection in the middle of your indignant huff, but the gears in your mind are turning. Instead of turning to each other in Az’s absence, you’ve been burying yourselves in solitude and work. Clearly, something has to change.
You loosen the strip of leather holding Cas’s hair up and sprinkle deep purple healing magic into it as you run your fingers through his thick locks. It’s just enough to calm him down, sobs tapering off into shuddering breaths.
“Cas?” You ask when he finally stills, slumping boneless against you. “Whose blood is this?”
He tilts his head back, guilt filling in every line on his face, and your heart clenches. No wonder Rhys offered to talk to Madja for you; he probably needed her to fix whatever damage Cassian’s misplaced anger had caused.
“‘M sorry,” Cas whispers, burying his face in your neck again. “I didn’t mean to, I just…”
“Shhh,” you shushed him, curling one arm to cradle his head. “I know you didn’t, baby. Rhys does too. This is new territory for all of us, and there were bound to be some kinks to work out.” Cas nods against you and you squeeze him as tight as you can, channeling love and healing magic through the bond. Behind you, the tub is full of steamy hot water, so you wave your hand to get rid of Cas’s clothes and help him into the bath.
When he’s settled, you shed your nightgown and get in with him. He rests his head against the side of the tub and lets you run a bar of soap over the planes of his muscles, healing bruises and scrapes as you find them.
"Thank you," he whispers once you’ve finished. He reaches one hand out and pulls you against his chest without opening his eyes.
The bond settles as much as it can without a third anchor to tether itself to. You lay there, basking in the soft glow of your mingling magic, until suddenly Cassian stands up, pushing you off him.
“Sorry,” he grunts when you fall forward, splashing into the water. “I just…” You follow his gesturing hand down the V of his hips and the problem stares out at you—long, thick, and hard. “I dunno, it feels wrong without Az.”
“Yeah,” you whisper, torn between the mouth-watering sight of him on display, just inches from your face, and the guilt bubbling up inside you. In the end, the bond makes the decision for you, practically shoving you forward to pull Cas’s cock in between your lips.
His protests are dead on arrival; you don’t even hear them, too focused on pouring all your pent-up sexual frustration out onto him.
After just a few minutes, his hips are bucking wildly and he forces himself to pull back. You look up at him with wide eyes and saliva dripping down your chin, and he growls, tugging you out of the tub so he can shove you against the wall. He drops to his knees and drapes one of your legs over his shoulder, devouring you like a man starved.
With no patience left for teasing, he fucks you with his tongue, plunging deep into your core until you’re writhing against him.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, tumbles out of your head and into his as the pleasure builds and builds.
That's it, baby, he sends back down the bond, digging into your sweet spot with one of his fingers. Let go for me.
Your body follows his command, the tightly wound coil inside of you snapping as soon as you have permission. He grins against you as you fuck his face, riding out your high.
As soon as he pulls away, he’s got his hands under your ass, hauling you up into his arms as he presses his cock into your slick folds. Your legs wrap around his waist instinctively as your head drops back against the wall.
It’s quick and dirty. Without Azriel there to force you to slow down and savor each other, you’re teetering on the edge of a second orgasm before you’ve fully recovered from the first. Cassian’s thrusts grow sloppier and you feel through the bond that his release is looming.
When he ducks his head to pull one of your nipples between his teeth, both of you lose the last of your self-control. Cas drives his hips into you and fills you up, tipping you over the cliff. You clench your walls around him as your release comes gushing out.
Meanwhile, in one of the training rooms under the mountain, a wave of something washes over Az as he’s running through drills against a training dummy with Truth Teller. At first, he thinks it’s nausea and regrets not stopping by the kitchens to grab a bite earlier, but the ache is too low to be coming from his stomach.
When he reaches one gloved hand to palm himself through his leathers, he’s shocked to find his cock solid and straining against the fabric. He thanks the Mother that he’s training alone today and makes quick work of it.
Three weeks into Az’s mission, Mor heads under the mountain to check on him under the guise of visiting her father. She enters the dining room and immediately realizes that something is wrong. There’s a woman sitting to Kier’s right, and Az is on her other side. His shadows nip at Mor’s toes like she’s the enemy as she takes her seat on her father’s left.
He refuses to speak to her, but when they make eye contact during dessert, his eyes are dark and stormy, filled with shadows of their own.
When she retires to her room later that night, she reports back to Rhys who orders her to pull Az out as soon as she can.
Despite the fact that they haven’t slept together in decades, it’s easy to slip back into old habits. The next morning at breakfast, she lays it on thick. By dinner time, her father merely waves them off when she requests the Shadowsinger for her own personal reasons.
“Go on then,” he grunts, rolling his eyes. “I’ll let the High Lord know when I require your presence next.”
As soon as they’ve both gathered their belongings, Mor winnows them away. When his feet touch solid ground, Az shoves her away with a snarl. His shadows surge forward to cushion her back and prevent her from falling; even blinded by his anger, he doesn't want to hurt her.
“What the fuck,” he growls. “I wasn’t done!”
“I have orders to pull you out of there. Rhys thinks you’ve gone in too deep.” Az growls like a feral animal being forced into a cage.
“Rhysand needs me in there now more than ever. Something’s happening, Mor. Something big, and I was working my way in, I—“
Mor cuts him off, holding a hand up to silence him.
“You think I don’t know that? Whether I like it or not, that’s my father. I know something’s up, but Rhys needs you in there, Azriel. And you’re not you right now. You’re cold and ruthless, not thinking clearly after too much time away from your mates.”
Az deflates and drops onto the sofa behind him. It’s the worn old leather one in Rhys’s mother’s cottage, in Windhaven. Mor sits down next to him, rubbing a hand across his shoulders, careful to avoid brushing against his wings which are rigid and full of tension.
“It’s not your sole responsibility to save the world, Az. You’re an excellent spy, but you’re more than that, too. Don’t let the tunnel vision take over.”
Az drops his head into his hands, letting out all of the air in his lungs with one deep sigh. He knows she’s right, that the bond should be a strength and not a weakness, but he’s terrified that something will happen to his mates. He couldn’t risk it, not when he was down there.
But that wasn’t his decision to make alone. The more he fought against the bond, the more it fought back, rattling his brain and tugging at every one of his senses. The effort to keep it bottled up drained his energy until all he could see was the mission, his purpose. Gathering information about the woman, Amarantha, became the most important thing in his life.
So he feels like a bit of an asshole when he turns up on your doorstep with his rucksack slung over one shoulder and only a faint shimmer of the bond left flickering inside his chest. It’s not enough to keep him tethered to the two of you, so he has no idea how you're feeling, but he forces himself to knock on the door, anyway.
“Hi,” you whisper, letting your arm drop from the doorknob to your side. On your end, the bond bursts into bright golden flames that shoot down, making a beeline for Azriel.
It tugs at Cas’s side, too, and then his head pops up behind your shoulder.
“Hi,” he says, flashing the dopiest grin that Azriel has ever seen.

Hiii! I hope it's not too suggestive since I saw your blog is mainly sfw OWBOANALA but I wanted to hear your headcanons about the main cast of Touchstarved, just in general tho, like who's a bottom, who's a top and who's a switch (I personally think everyone there is a switch bc y'know... whatever makes mc happy they're down for it)
If it's too suggestive or explicit for your blog lemme know and we can ramble about it together in chat if you're down for it! (In that case I'll send you my @)!
!!!! I AGREE!! AND DEFINITELY DID MORE THAN U ASKED! My Bad guys. indulged myself a little w one (1) nsft post. a gift 🫶 & OFC i'll also talk more in chat w u / anyone who wants to!!! i always want 2 hear everyone else's thoughts 👩🏻‍💻
leander
switch...sub leaning.? they did Not have to tell me for a leader he sure likes it when others take control. that vere wouldn't spit on him if he were a fire, "oh no, he'd enjoy that far too much." leander saying he doesn't mind vere around since he's fun and "got a real...presence." when he said "anything you want." I Know What You Are.
smth smth addressed by a title, sensation play, degradation said in a praising way, body worship, size kink, overstim, smth smth. i trust vere. spit on him. leader who relishes in giving up control and being taken care of yeah yeah yeah
enjoying being a sub aside he can easily be a service dom
mfw leander gets on his knees and says he'll do anything to please you just say the word. when he touches you somewhere and asks here? is this good? oh the intimacy of interlacing your fingers and bringing your hands to touch him anywhere, everywhere, just as a reminder that you Can
ais
switch - "gives it almost as well as he takes it, even if he's awfully greedy." thanks vere my buddy my pal
i know this little shit (said lovingly) is a tease like dragging his fingers slowly telling you to say please kind of way
figures out what pet names you like and has the most annoying smirk on his face. "oh? did you like that?"
edging. Needing you to tell him what he wants or he won't do anything.
idk i think this guy likes it when you take control though! like get on top and he'll have a stupid cocky grin before he eventually unravels and is moaning whimpering swearing 🤨
i don't have to say anything about the tentacles. moving on
i have a vision where if you let out a noise he looks at you with a raised brow before smirking and then whispering "cute." in your ear before trailing kisses along your jaw But That's Just Me Projecting I Think
vere
switch in a bratty prove you can dom him way. "looks good in blood and better in tears." LETS BE SERIOUS AIS 😂😂 you don't have to tell me twice if bro likes rough sex or is into bondage or edging or overstim or marking or
smth abt predator/prey... i'm not even really into that but i can see it
same thing w u taking control and him saying a stupid joke then being caught off guard,, at least the first time. i know this guy would do shit to tease and rile you up in public just so you'd do something later
he made that biting comment and i believe him. nips at you. seems like he'd leave hickies in places people could see and if you did the same to him Well why would he hide them. also pull his hair
something about fingers in your mouth or vice versa. smth smth making u taste urself Sorry Woah this was bc he was licking champagne foam from his fingers. i had a vision
kuras
switch in an easily doms + teases you, may surprise you with a few kinks, takes a bit to be sub but ends up liking it kind of way. reminds me of om! barbatos + tot vyn. I know what you are. (brat tamer)
the sub thing. like the first time u ask he's Very curious about what you'd do. amused even. the joy of telling him not to touch and teasing him then stopping right before he finishes. and then telling him to be nice and ask for what he wants,, if u go long enough he'll finally groan w a little "please," where his voice cracks WHO GETS ME!
giving me blindfold + temperature play vibes. don't know why.
anyways. can also be soft i'm sure. like a traditionally romantic sort of sense. i don't know how to explain it.
btw "you know, on account of his massive...heart." thank you vere for being the realest person around
mhin
switch vry sub leaning for me but that's bc i like teasing them. and so does everyone else.... oh mhin...
but if u were a soft dom they could use that i think. like Let yourself be close and taken care of mhin. please. OHH praising them to tease them instead of being mean catches them a little off guard. they get flustered and look away again Yeah
i don't see them as particularly talkative during sex,, tbh i think they'd get embarrassed and try to stop themself from making Any noise until you tell them you like hearing their voice...
drags myself through the mud... breathing heavily... leave hickies on their chest... mhin leaving hickies on you... i have no grounds to explain this btw. i just get sensitive chest/collarbone area vibes
still figuring out dom!mhin in my head. charas who are easily teased can often switch it around on u if u say the right thing so. though i don't really see them as being very degrading during sex
misc / multichara thoughts i didn't form properly bc i have to go back to essay writing in a bit.
vere and ais would have the biggest impact on me w the first vulnerable soft sex scene. they deserve it
someone's into the sex after an argument thing. something about jealousy. marking you etc etc
leander telling you you can use him. leander shower sex. leander using magic. leander. help me
has leander just fucked everybody. can he stop blushing when talking about other people + the others' opinions what r u guys implying YOU ARE GOING TO DRIVE ME OVER THE EDGE /J /NM
i don't see kuras / mhin being very into quickies but well. the other 3.
something abt the bad ending w vere tells me he really enjoys when you're vulnerable and exposed to him. trust or whatever
scenario where you tell kuras u think something's wrong and u need a Check Up w the Doctor :( and he gives u a little look before reminding you if you want attention you could just ask then kissing you. Who gets me
mhin smirking . that's all. my legs wobble

Hello yes I'd like to tell you about my current favorite BG3 playthrough. Its nothing fancy or crazy, but it is RP silly.
I started goofing off with more mods and realized... well, new character, new headcanon. What if a great companion were to get very concerned about the abrupt disappearance of a dear friend - one who may end the world if there isn't someone around to take care of them?
And what if said great companion, a wizard in her own right, were to cast a spell to adjust her appearance and let her get to places that she normally couldn't?
And then what if said great companion were to get caught up in the same mess that cause the disappearance of her dear friend?
Tumblr media
So first off, I love her. And this has also led to some of my favorite moments in game now. Such as
mfw my longtime friend doesn't recognize me and re-introduces himself.
Tumblr media
"Say but I know you don't I?"
You do, thank goodness, I thought you didn't recognize me-
"You were on the nautiloid as well."
NO
Tumblr media
Gale, if you keep calling me a cat behind my back, you'll be introduced to my murder mittens.
Tumblr media
"Tara, you sure remind me of Tara."
GOSH I WONDER WHY THAT IS.
Tumblr media
In short, this is so so so much fun for all the dumbest reasons. I love it.

dude, i once saw a person who i remember was like a hardcore heavymedic shipper?? say that medic being shipped with female ocs makes him unconfortable because "he's a gay man" and it made me kinda reel in because. that seems a bit weird and lowkey misogynistic innit. mfw im projecting my hcs too hard onto unlabeled characters and insist that my word is law.
(that moment when i forget my headcanon isn't actually canon and now i'm being weird towards people who don't agree with it or follow it /ref)
Tumblr media
(serious talk here)
I find it strange when hardcore heavymedic shippers can't even fathom the idea of medic not strictly being a gay man. People can headcanon medic and the other mercs however they wish, but i've seen people denying the possibility of him being bi or pan despite his canon sexuality being ambiguous. Even some saying the only possible way he has a wife if it's like a beard (slang) or to 'hide his homosexuality', which is so asinine.
As someone who is bi / pan, yea; bi erasure is cringe as well as invalidating and it's genuinely surprising how often it happens. Not just in the tf2 fandom but in fandom spaces in general.

Sakha
In this post, where I use "Sakha" and "Yakutia", they are interchangeable
If you just want headcanons, it's right at the bottom of this post
Name: Erchim Basygasov
The reason why I gave him this name:
Erchim, in the Sakha language means vigorous/active/energetic. I think it suits him well as I see him as being quite outgoing/a busy body.
Basygasov: I know it seems like I gave him a Russian last name but there is a reason behind this. Many common Sakha surnames are either Russian in origin or are modelled after Russian names. I chose to go with the "Sakha name that was modelled to sound like a Russian name" route. The nickname "Bahygas" comes from the adjective meaning "able to draw" in Sakha, and so this Sakha nickname is then modified to sound like "Basygasov" as a surname. I chose this surname because I see him as actually being quite artsy!
Origins
His exact birthdate is extremely uncertain as its said that the Sakha people may have settled in the area around the 9th-16th centuries
I'll say that he emerged from 1300-1400 as a distinct group to try and find a balance between those dates.
The ancestor of the Sakha before they migrated Northwards are said to be the Kurykans, who moved from Yenisey River to Lake Baikal in the 7th century, and likely had some level of mixing with Mongolic peoples.
Specifically Sakha's origins were most likely during the great migrations in the 13th century (obviously he existed a little bit before these migrations occurred)
Some of the native inhabitants of the Lena (Evenki, Eveni, Yukagir) assimilated with the migrants (him) from the Lake Baikal region/Southern Siberia who were pressured to move because of the Buryats/pressure from the expanding Mongol Empire (according to Sakha's own legends)
The migrants from Southern Siberia, brought language, oral history, and livestock herding. In fact it is these things which is what suggests that Sakha's origins are due to this migration from the south to the north, especially the horse and cattle breeding which was a Southern economy. Unlike Sakha's reindeer herders neighbours, the Sakha farmed horses and cattle, assimilating Eveni and Evenki (Tungusic) cultures in the process, and we can see this especially through Sakha's shamanic traditions.
It was this mixture of cultures that brought about the Sakha people. I actually think Sakha first represented these migrant groups from Lake Baikal as a child and formed his stronger identity as he migrated and assimilated other groups.
This is because the Sakha people greatly tie their origins to these migrations, and as mentioned before, according to their own legends, they were "driven out" by the Buryats/expansion of the Mongol Empire to move Northwards, centring the origins of their history to these migrants and the migration.
These migrants are speculated to be of Turkic/Turko-Mongol origin. Possibly even Khakas to an extent
Mfw Sakha sounds like Khakas 🤒
But in all seriousness, the origin of the ethnonym Sakha was seen as linked to the Sagay Khakas of Abakan River however this cannot be seen as certain
So Sakha settled in areas with grazing along the Lena, Vilyuy, and Aldan rivers. Again this differed from the smaller, original populations like Even, Evenk, and Yukagir (reindeer herders), who either assimilated or relocated to uplands due to their hunting and reindeer herding economies.
So... Sakha 🤝 Chukotka when it comes to assimilating people
Sakha oral epics mention leaders like Tygyn, the most powerful among them, who formed a chiefdom in the 17th century by subjugating other clans.
So in the late 16th to early 17th centuries, Kangalastsy tribe, led by Tygyn was the most powerful and respected.
They lived in the central steppe area of the Middle Lena valleys, enabling them to excel in cattle farming and gain economic and military advantages.
The Kangalastsy were significant in shaping the Sakha culture, and it's somewhat speculated that they are linked to an ancient tribal union called kangly, which opposed the Hunnic State in the Syr Darya region centuries before (cannot be certain).
According to Sakha folklore, Tygyn was a descendant of Badzhei.
He was the son of Munn'an Darkhan and the grandson of Tyusyulge Darkhaan. Tygyn was notably tall and became the Chief King after his father.
And again, he united various Sakha clans.
So he was kind of like... The Sakha version of Genghis Khan?
However, in 1628, Tygyn's forces were defeated by the advancing Russians, armed with firearms. He was captured and imprisoned, where he suffered from a skin condition and passed away in 1632.
In that same hear, the Yakutsk fort was built, forming Yakutia's link to Russia.
However this was not at all peaceful. The Sakha rebelled seven times (1633-1684) and was met met with harsh suppression.
But before this, Tygyn did manage to be a pain in the arse for the Russian Cossacks - it is mentioned that in 1631 they could not collected fur tax from him
Further: In Legends, Russian Cossacks met Tygyn and praised the power of the Moscow Tsar. They asked Tygyn and the Sakha people to submit, promising mercy, wealth, and rewards. However, Tygyn declined, challenging the Cossacks to a fight instead.
In 1634, Cossack chief Ivan Galkin noted that Kangalas princes (Tygyn's sons/descendants?) controlled vast land and people, even other princes.
They avoided paying taxes for a while. But by 1637, Tygyn's sons submitted, paid taxes, gave hostages, and showed loyalty. Many Sakha people followed, making the Sakha territory part of Russia.
The fact that a majority of the other Sakha people submitted along with Tygyn's sons goes to show how influential Tygyn's lineage was/links to what I said previously about how influential they were in shaping Sakha culture
In the next year, 1638, the Yakutsk district was created, becoming Yakutsk province in 1775, and later Yakutsk region in 1784
So....Sakha was essentially on a pretty strong grind before Russia came along. Tygyn put up a good resistance but his sons on the other hand... 🤒 He malds about it but he also knows it was kind of inevitable
Still kind of glorifies Tygyn to this day
Before Russian colonisation, Sakha was pretty enthusiastic/strong willed. His strong willed nature still followed him however the enthusiasm waned a little under Russian colonisation. A large part of his early enthusiasm can be chalked up to his new found wealth and strong leader, so it was a pretty drastic change of mood once it was abruptly ended by the colonisation period. He didn't take it too well because it was, well, unexpected. He (rightfully) held on to a lot of anger/resentment for a while.
I've mentioned other people who he had contact/relations with such as the Even, Evenk and the Yukagir. Major parts of Sakha culture were derived from these peoples. I see those three as almost being his mentors in a way because of this. On one hand, they were annoyed at this kid who suddenly moved there out of seemingly nowhere which is now forcing them to move more North >:( but on the other hand it was also "Well... He's here so we might as well try and teach him some things if he wants to survive 🙄". I see Evenkia as being his main kind of mentor as Evenki culture influenced Sakha culture more majorly.
On average, Sakha has a good relationship with all of them (especially when they ask him for advice on legal troubles.)
To be fair though, Yukagir is probably the most annoyed by Sakha (when she does feel in the mood to be annoyed at someone) because mass-assimilation affected her the most.
Life under Russian colonisation
In the 17th century, Sakha people fought fiercely against Russian control until 1642. Then, Russian missionaries tried to convert the Sakha to Christianity between 1651 and 1700.
During the 18th century, the Sakha had to move due to political and environmental reasons. Russians took advantage, taking control of Sakha areas.
By 1773, the Imperial mail system reached the Sakha regions. Political opponents of the Tsarist regime were put in prison camps. In the 19th century, Yakuts switched to sedentary farming and Orthodox Christianity.
In 1846, gold discovery led to Russian immigration, changing the demographic of the population.
In the early 20th century, Yakuts were involved in the Russian Civil War, supporting both Red and White armies. In the aftermath of World War I, the Russian Revolution, and the Civil War, the Soviet government established the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1922.
While Sakha was somewhat... Appreciative of this move, it still wasn't enough. By appreciative I don't mean he kissed Russia's ass on got on his knees thanking him, absolutely not. More like, he saw it as a push in the right direction in general.
Sakha is always one to push things to get his way, and though some things from the Russians were inevitably accepted such as orthodox Christianity and sedentary farming - this is not a testament to Sakha keeling over easily. As I will talk about in my next bullet points, Sakha played a prominent role in not only protecting his own interests, but other Siberian interests too.
This is why earlier I talked about the likes of Even, Evenk and Yukagir asking him for help with certain legal troubles. I think Sakha has always been quite outgoing and you can see this even before Russian colonisation. So this skill of his stuck through, which is why he's such a prominent player in these types of affairs but also very keen on getting himself out there, as seen later under my "Business brained?!" subheading of this post.
Collectivisation and sovereignty
From 1925 to 1960, Sakha agriculture was collectivised, leading to resistance and subsequent repression.
Sakha organisations, schools, and publications were banned, and Stalin's industrialisation policies led to significant Russian immigration into Sakha .
Throughout this period, Yakuts fiercely clung to their language, which became a symbol of resistance under Soviet rule. It was one of the only ways in which they could resist
In the late 20th century, amid Gorbachev's reform policies, Sakha nationalism resurfaced.
In March 1990, an Association of Peoples of the North was formed, with Sakha playing a prominent role.
This association aimed to protect the interests of 26 ethnic groups, including the Sakha, and increase their bargaining power in economic and political negotiations with Moscow.
In August 1990, Yakutia increased its autonomy within Russia by issuing a declaration of sovereignty
Sakha proclaimed its sovereignty within the Russian Federation in September 1990, adopting the formal name Yakut-Sakha Soviet Socialist Republic, aligning with the traditional name of the Sakha people.
In August 1991, Sakha's parliament passed a law, transferring control of all state enterprises from the USSR central government to the republican authority.
By December of the same year, Mikhail Nikolayev secures a resounding victory, becoming Sakha's first president with over 70 percent of the vote
Further push for greater Sovereignty
In January 1992, Sakha parliament aimed for more independence, proposing a treaty with Moscow. The treaty would give Sakha control over precious metal reserves for global sales. But this sparked criticism from local Russian legislators, calling it secessionist.
In May 1992, a new constitution established Yakut-Sakha, declaring local natural resources as owned by the people.
During this time, the Sakha parliament accused the Russian Central Bank of withholding funds, causing economic issues. This led to worker payment problems and threats of strikes, risking disruptions in diamond, gold, coal, and other exports.
...Sakha is definitely not afraid to speak his mind and outright call Russia out on his bad behaviour, but this goes for anyone who behaves badly in general too. He cares little for sparing peoples feelings when his interests are being obstructed - especially if it's Russia doing so. This doesn't mean that he's not open to working with Russia, just that he places importance on emphasising his own interests. If it doesn't benefit him somehow in some way, he doesn't want to deal with it.
This attitude is reflected in a point I make later on in this post, which talks about an incident that took place in December 1997 in which the Sakha Republic refused an agreement with the Russian defense ministry.
Business brained?!
This may seem like a random subheading but I have talked about the contents of this previously so hear me out.
In June 1992 Sakha's President Nikolayev visited Latvia for economic ties.
Then, in August of the same year, Presidents of Sakha, Tatarstan, and Bashkortostan warn Moscow about regional sovereignty plans.
In February the following year, Sakha and Irkutsk Oblast sign an economic cooperation agreement.
In May 1993, Sakha and Mongolia agree on cooperation in science, culture, and trade.
The next month, Sakha and Kazakhstan sign a five-year economic cooperation pact.
In January the following year (1994) Sakha and Ukraine agree on a five-year economic cooperation deal.
Sakha was very eager to #grind and get himself out there after being declared the Republic of Sakha in late December 1991. As I said before, Sakha has always been quite goals driven even before Russian colonisation, so it's not really a surprise that he did this.
I see him as being a big organiser of events between the Siberian peoples and is always one to lend an ear out/a helping hand out if someone is in need of some assistance.
Examples of him not taking shit but also being business brained™:
In March 1997, Sakha opposed a military rocket launch from Svobondy Space Center due to safety concerns. The government doubted the environmental impact and technical safety of the rocket. Despite objections, the Ministry launched the rocket, and its second stage fell near a Sakha village.
This incident led to a lawsuit against the Military Space Force, causing Sakha to cancel its 1996 agreement.
In October 1997, Yakutia's Parliament members expressed concern to national deputies about insufficient support for the Far North residents in the upcoming winter. They stated that 80% of Sakha's resources come from outside the republic, but government support for these deliveries had drastically reduced to 20%.
The deputies argued that the proposed 1998 federal budget lacked a separate allocation for delivering products to the Far North, leaving the state neglecting its responsibility to support this region.
In December 1997, Sakha's government refused an agreement with the Russian Defence Ministry for using its territory as a rocket dumping ground due to lack of examination and compensation. The agreement was later signed after agreeing to share revenue from commercial launches.
In July 1998, Sakha passed a law allowing various entities, including foreign citizens and legal entities, to use mineral deposits if registered in the republic and authorised by Russian and Sakha laws.
What's important is that the law also banned using these resources for nuclear weapons, mass destruction weapons, and radioactive substance burial.
Sakha isn't necessarily 100% against working with/co-operating with Russia of course as it does have it's benefits and it's not his goal in life to just purposefully antagonise. However his more outspoken nature and willingness to bluntly point things out has given him a bit of a reputation - despite him actually being quite co-operative/amicable for the most part. He's willing to co-operate, but not to bend over and shut himself up if he disagrees with something.
Quick sidenote on the Dolgan: I see Sakha as being quite close with Dolgan. Dolgan culture incorporates aspects from different groups, including reindeer herding from the Evenki, herd dogs from the Nentsy, and women's fur coats from the Sakha.
In fact, the Dolgan people originated from a few Evenk clans that later adopted a dialect of the Turkic-speaking Sakha (Yakut).
So Sakha does try to look out for Dolgan and imagining him like. Dressing her up/giving her clothes and jewellery is so cutee. He's a lot more involved with her than Evenkia is, much to his annoyance.
Headcanons summarised and some more headcanons:
He is actually quite interested in art! There's the National Art Museum in Sakha which I think he likes to go to to unwind
It's also the largest Art Museum in North East Siberia
Is quite good at drawing himself and is quite crafty. Doodles often when he's bored during a meeting
Big organiser of get togethers/events
Quite outgoing/approachable
Smoker 🤒
Saul Goodman of Siberia I guess
Proud father™ to Dolgan😍
Considers Evenk, Even and Yukagir his mentors however acknowledges that Evenk was the major one, even if he slightly annoys him these days
Sakha produces 1/4 of the world's diamonds yet little of that wealth has tricked down to him. Which is something he malds about
Unfortunately diamond mining has disproportionately affected Sakha's neighbours. That being, the Even, Evenk, Yukagir and Chukchi.
He does feel guilty about this, especially considering how 3/4 of them were his former mentors. This is a point of tension in their relationship
Lowkey intimidated by Chukchi/Chukotka..
His life isn't consumed with hating Russia 24/7 however he'll never truly care for Russia or like/love him. He tolerates him most days and that is probably the most positive feeling he'll be able to feel for Russia (this can be said for a lot of the other Siberians to be honest)
Sure, he likes when Russia is co-operative and he benefits from it but that's not him liking Russia himself
Funny relationship with Buryatia/Mongolia like wow a huge part of my identity was formed because of you guys pushing me out.
Some... Not so healthy coping mechanisms but he's gucci for the most part
Debate club vibes
Russia can be quite chauvinistic at times and tries to paint himself as some sort of mentor to Sakha. As you can guess Sakha despises when he does this and reminds him who he actually considers his mentors
"I'd let Evenkia leave me with another baby again before -"
Lowkey tries to be sort of a big brother to other Siberians despite being younger than quite a few of them
This sort of irks the older Siberians at times
Was baptised at some point in the 18th century and was given a Russian name that he went by for a period of time (only in front of Russia tbh). Has since dropped the Russian name completely.
Gets extremely agitated when Russia calls him his former Russian name
Workaholic 👎 but is always willing to lend a hand with helping someone if they really need him
Good legal advice 👍
Has his own little art projects that he barely has time to finish. A lot of which is just making cute jewellery for Dolgan -
Diplomacypilled™ unfortunately

i give up here are stand pathology headcanons with diagrams
mfw people saying that sci fi-ing things sucks all the fun out of them but sci fi is fun for me
Tumblr media
ANYWAYS heres my dirt, nothing too gnarly in the diagrams! If I don't clarify some stuff well enough, feel free to ask and I'll clarify as best I can!
Part 1: What Is A Stand?
mikitaka sorta kinda
Tumblr media
I can explain.
SO
The base of what we know about Stands in canon, according to Vento Aureo, is that they are a retrovirus of extraterrestrial origin!
What's a retrovirus? A little bundle of proteins that float around trying to hijack the way that DNA replicates itself- basically, it replaces our instruction manual with its own. The meteor and the arrow, for one reason or another, allows these little Stand cells to live on it until they pierce something.
According to Vento Aureo, on getting pierced with the arrow: you either die (in a little nasty way), or get a Stand.
Interesting takeaways on the nature of Stands from Stardust Crusaders, courtesy of Mohammed Avdol:
If one person is pierced with an arrow, their descendants will be impacted, in the form of developing the Stand or the sickness. I don't have enough brain cells to try to bullshit an explanation for that one.
The illness: takes roughly 50 days to be fatal, starts on the back, grows on the body, symptoms will involve a fever that progresses to "other symptoms," followed by a coma and death.
There appears to be some kind of gestation period: Dio was shot with the arrow about 1-2 years before Jotaro and Holly develop the stands (jojo timeline help). Joseph developed Hermit Purple 1 year before Jotaro got Splat.
The "gestation period" can arguably be backed up by Koichi, who survived his own stand by virtue of Crazy Diamond- Echoes first emerges as an egg!
Harming the Stand will harm the user, and Stands can vary highly in range.
They are variable in nature- some can exist entirely independently, even continuing to live within items that the user made. DiU and Stone Ocean have very unique examples of the varying levels of a Stand's independence.
Leading to an interesting point: developing a Stand, as opposed to the illness, will not guarantee that you survive your Stand. Examples include Cheap Trick and Notorious BIG. That said, other Stands will allow you to retain consciousness after death, such as Atom Heart Father (for better or worse).
(Things that I pressed X to Doubt: Avdol comments that Stands revolve around "fighting spirit," but he has been heavily exposed to assassins, who both leave financial paper trails and have body counts. Furthermore, Dio and Enya, individuals going bananas with the arrow, were exclusively looking for recruits for battle. There is mayhaps a smidge of sampling bias.)
Interesting takeaways from the Greenland meteor include:
IN CONTRAST TO THE SICKNESS! The Arrow will kill you a lot faster. We don't have an exact timeframe for how long meteor exposure took, but it seems that at bare minimum, the mineral surveyors, "dying looking like tomato sauce," didn't have a "slow fever, coma, death" presentation.
This is extremely interesting when you take into account that when the first person to be exposed to the virus dies, the Stand illness that shoots down generationally will resolve itself (sometimes leaving a stand: no information on Holly, but Josuke retained Crazy Diamond).
So, someone who gets hit with the Arrow or exposed to the meteor will either gain a Stand or swiftly die- should they have descendants, it's likely that on the death of the Arrow hit, these descendants may develop a Stand (if they were ill to begin with). Either way, there is a decent chance of a Stand remaining.
Other interesting things: Stands can exist entirely independently of users: Anubis and Superfly are good examples.
Back to the question of what a Stand is: I believe that the Stand is not necessarily a virus that infects another extraterrestrial organism, but that it is itself an extraterrestrial that has the option of behaving like a virus.
What do I mean by option?
If there are any fungi and siphonophore fans here, raise hands!
My headcanon is that, in essence, a Stand is an alien that has multiple means of reproduction, and can behave in a manner similar to both fungi and siphonophores. AKA, viral and budding being the primary means.
Viral basically allows the Stand to develop via a host. You are independent strands of proteins that migrate to the optic nerve and swiftly become active in producing proteins to create the building blocks actual Stand- they "stand behind you" because they poke out of the central nervous system. The formation of the stand comes of a mixture of any sensory stimuli to the nervous system while forming, any forming memories (similar to the visuals of dreams), and the general structure of your CNS.
Tumblr media
Pros: Saves time, development of sentience is optional, your host does all the work of looking for danger and fighting for your mutual survival.
Cons: you're a stupid space virus who's trying to Build A You out of popsicle sticks and glue so you might kill your host to death. Also, you might trip your host's immune system, causing the Stand sickness again, which kills your host to death.
Visual Symptoms There's VERY few ways to firmly differentiate Stand virus from anything else without biopsy, however! The optic nerve and occipital lobe are the first place to gain these little areas of Stand that are responsible for the ability to process a Stand visually. Unlike your auditory processing, the Stand migrates and is active here- there's no real need for it, as stands can be utilized fine without sight (you don't really need use of sensory organs to have/develop a Stand, those nerves are just where the virus happens to set up camp). A lot of viral cells park and conglomerate here to make "Stand." On SOME occasions, for no real reason that can be understood (seems to be coincidence), the cells will begin just. Creating these deep, deep blue pigment molecules (along with the proteins they're making)- most commonly, they can be found in the choroid coat (it's a red jacket for ur eye that feeds it) and the sclera. Pigment producing viral cells have also presented in the tunica externa of the facial artery (literally just the outer coating of the artery), and the optic artery. By and large, this doesn't really produce any symptoms outside of production of that pigment, but if you were to look at the central nervous system of some people with Stands, you might actually see patches of dark blue where that pigment molecule started being produced.
Tumblr media
This in that altered shade of sclera seen in people like Risotto, as well Avdol and Geil's facial markings- initially, it's almost like a prominence or very specific bruising, but the actuality is that the outermost layer of their arteries have deep blue pigment!
Being born with Stand means that you do in fact have more time to start a Stand from scratch, and it takes a little bit for the viral cells to wake up to the fact that you're in the world now. Additionally, they have grown alongside you and your blastula!
Getting stabbed with one or directly exposed via meteor means that you just get an influx of cells all at once, which immediately POG at you, who are so rich in nutrients, and your Stand gets built in overtime! If you don't have Crazy Diamond nearby, this is really bad. Slow and steady building Stands are kinder and gentler on people.
Anyways, budding!
Budding is where a) no option for a host exists and b) enough food. As opposed to spitting out free floating protein, the Stand proteins link up and begin to produce specialized colonies. They can look like whatever they damn well please, but often form sensory organs first in the interest of blending in with whatever they will be Hash Tag Coexisting with. After "mapping" out their form using buds that make this weird cartilaginous blueprint, they Build Dude. T End result is obligated to be sentient! There's no real difference between a bud Stand who mimicked a human person and a human person: for my John Carpenter's Thing fans, imagine that the Thing was like. Forced to not plagiarize, do its own work instead of assimilating, and just eat enough to formulate its own guy cells from scratch. Mikitaka is an example- very little functional difference between the end result of virus or budding, except that he and his Stand are basically one and the same. Took him a while to grow, but y'know. He lives in Morioh. He's a normal high schooler, just sprouted a little differently. Pros: You exist in space, you can do whatever you want. Get a job, carry ice cream in your pockets, the world is your damn oyster. The Stand virus also can't do anything to you. Additionally, you can pretty much digest anything. Cons: Takes a really long time, takes a lot of energy, hence the ability to basically digest anything. The construction of a full working nervous system from scratch takes for fucking ever.
Abilities
The variation in their abilities is a mixture of their intake of stimuli (as they are parked in the nervous system) and literally anything that a human brain can conceive as a thing that makes us go "WHOA!" They're intended to be defensive measures, but as mentioned, they are stupid virus aliens, so they sort of just throw things at the wall and some of it sticks.
Some people can go their entire lives without knowing that they have stands, because the abilities are just weird and specific. Tonio only unlocked his after extensive journeys as a chef. What do you want from the guy. Some Stands don't even start building for some reason, so they just chill out in there.
ANYWAYS! tldr, Stands are a siphonophore-virus-aliens like John Carpenter's Thing that are trying to live, just like you and me :)
Why can some of them stop time?
its jojo leave me alone passage of time is stimuli i guess the alien cell didnt like it. why can no one but stand users see them?? genuinely no clue.
