Stray Kids as Hybrids
WARNINGS: Minho and Felix are "defect" hybrids. There's cussing in this. I got the information from research, so if you're an animal "expert" respectfully correct me.
Master list | Not requested, but I don't care.
Chan (Grey Wolf)
He has a grey tail with grey ears that have a black rim.
His fur is extremely fluffy, and he sheds a lot.
In his human form, he has curly hair that's so grey it almost looks white.
Though he has a ton of fur, he doesn't feel the heat.
He needs a lot of nutrients.
He'll eat over 13 pounds of meat at least once a week.
A "healthy" amount of meat for a human is 23 to 33 ounces per week. There are 16 ounces in a pound.
You can do the math yourself.
He's never gone over 12 days without consistent meat intake.
You gotta feed him.
Good luck. 13 pounds = 208 ounces
He won't tell you he's hungry, but you can hear his tummy from across the planet.
In his wolf form, his ears stand up and point forward.
In his human form, his ears just do what they want.
Contrary to popular belief, wolves barely bark.
Whines can be a sign of affection or distress.
You need to pay attention to the signs and what's going on to know the difference.
His growls are warnings, and his loud ones are when he feels threatened.
His quiet growls are playful.
Chan has and will go over to Minho or Seungmin and put his paw on them. IYKYK
the pictures of those 2 wolves are hilarious
Minho (Tiger)
Unfortunately, Minho is considered a defect.
He looks like your stereotypical tiger.
It's just the tip of his tail is white instead of black
In his human form, he has brown eyes that turn yellow when he's in a bad mood
His "defect" is his hair. It's dark brown which makes the orange in his ears stand out.
Believe it or not, he prefers to come out at night.
He doesn't mind the day as long as it isn't hot.
Occasionally, he'll sunbathe, but it's seemingly random.
He, unlike most tigers, doesn't like water. He can take showers and baths, but big bodies of water are a no.
He can't see the bottom. He isn't getting in the water.
He still likes the knowledge of having access to a lake. Preferably a private lake.
His animal form is almost 9 feet at a weight of 650 something pounds. The weight is healthy for his tiger form.
If you thought Chan needed a lot of meat, then Minho is a nightmare. ;-;
Tigers require 88 lbs per week. :)
Since he's a hybrid, he can eat at least 75 lbs. Which is 1200 ounces...
His weight is perfect for snuggling, but his weight is painful if he lays on you.
He doesn't like roaring because it's loud. He grunts and uses chuffs to communicate.
If you are ever cold, just lay on him.
Tiger fur can get so hot that steam might come off their fur when in the snow.
He isn't very sociable and prefers his own space. He doesn't mind you or the boys, but it's obvious if he doesn't like someone.
You know that thing cats do with their tail when they feel mischievous?
The tip of the tail starts flicking but everything else is still?
That's Minho.
You always know when he's done some stupid shit or is about to
Changbin (Hare/Jack Rabbit)
He has brown fur with a white tummy
He gives off Thackery the hare from Alice In Wonderland 2010 vibes
He thumps, in both human and animal form, when he feels endangered or if he wants something
Usually, it's because he wants something
As an animal, he does the binky thing where rabbits jump high in the air
He only does it when he's extremely happy
Sometimes, his legs kick off too high, and he falls forward, like in the picture on the right.
When he's angry, he'll sit on his hind legs with his paws up like he's about to start boxing
When he's annoyed, he'll flick his feet and walk away
Sometimes, he'll kick whatever or whoever is irritating him (like in the first picture)
If he starts nibbling on you while in animal form, it's a sign of affection
Speaking of nibbling, rabbits eat 2-3% of their weight in vegetables.
He's a big boy, so... yeah... have fun. :)
Side note, he's very cuddly.
He rivals Jisung in his attachment to you
He will change into his animal form so it's easier for him to be close to you
Sometimes he'll go flying around the room
Kind of like the zoomies but for bunnies
He is a little dramatic
When he's really relaxed and feels safe, he'll flop over
If he's in animal form, he just does it. Doesn't matter where he is
If he's in human form, he'll flop on the nearest soft object or on the nearest person
Hyunjin (Ferret)
His fur is mostly brown, but he has 2 white rings of fur on his face with a brown spot under one of his eyes.
In human form, his hair is brown, and his animal ears have a white rim.
He's so hyper.
If he isn't running or jumping around the room, he's asleep in a dark space.
Probably under the covers or in a drawer somewhere
Ferrets eat 5-7% of their weight a day.
As a hybrid, he can eat 4% of his weight a day and still be considered healthy.
I recommend just feeding him 5% to be on the safer side.
Ferrets have poor vision. Unfortunately, Hyunjin has poor vision in both his forms.
He wears contacts in human form.
He will snuggle under your clothes and against your skin
If you have a bigger chest, he'll lay between your tits/pecks
If your chest his flatter, then he'll curl up on the left side so he can hear your heart better
When he wants to play, he'll run at people and then quickly run off
He'll keep repeating this until they get the message
When he's angry, he glares and hisses at whatever is causing his anger
He makes cute chitter noses and sniffs when he's curious
Just like other ferrets, he squints when he's sick
Don't get scared if you try to wake him and he doesn't move.
When he sleeps, he's GONE!
He won't wake up until his body is ready.
I like the idea that he scrunches his nose when he's confused
Like genuinely confused. Not "What are you doing?" Confused
I'm talking "What the hell is this thing?" confused
Shit you not! If you have salty skin or a hybrid safe lotion on, he'll lick you. Both in animal form and in human form
He has to be near sleep to start licking you as a human, though
Ferrets kiss, by the way
It's how they show affection
So don't be surprised if you get grabbed and you feel thick lips smack your cheek
He's just giving you a little appreciation, that's all :)
Sometimes, Hyunjin likes to be difficult in his human form
So, like a ferret, if he wants something, he will stare at you.
When you acknowledge him, and you will, he'll repeated glance at what he wants
He refuses to verbalize it until you either get it correct or he's tired of you guess incorrectly.
All just depends on his mood and how generous he's feeling that moment
Ferrets with splay out and sigh when they're sad
It's so fucking cute
Hyunjin does the same thing but on top of you
If you're working on something, like a laptop or iPad, then he'll flop onto that.
Or he'll flop onto your book or something
When you're wearing a hoodie, he'll hide away from the others in your pocket
So make sure it has the one pocket thing and not 2
He can still fit in the smaller ones but he wants the space
Jisung (Squirrel)
He is a ground-dwelling squirrel.
He is usually found sitting on Tiger Minho's head.
Like other squirrels, he is terrified of owls
"Why would someone need to look that scary?! Or turn its head that much?!"
Squirrels do this thing called caching. It's where they find and hide food.
I shit you not! He hides so much food around the house.
He doesn't need a lot of food, but he will gladly stuff his face full.
If you have to travel, then take him with you. He loves to travel and hates being left by himself.
Doesn't matter if you're leaving him with the others. He wants to go with you.
Sometimes he'll sit directly on top of you or pressed against you.
You have no personal space.
If you don't like physical affection, let him down gently please.
He doesn't want to be the cause of your discomfort, so tell him in the most fragile way possible
With that being said, he will use his face to get out of trouble
Quickly turning into his animal form and acting cute so you won't be angry
If that doesn't work, then he's dipping
I'm talking hightailing it out the room and into the backyard
You won't see him until dinner or it's bedtime
Speaking of bedtime, he wants you to tuck him in
So please do it. Give him a kiss on each cheek and then one on his forehead and he'll be good to go.
DON'T TUCK THE BLANKET IN
It makes him feel trapped and like he's in a cage.
Makes him more likely to have nightmares, too.
Felix (Ginger Cat)
Felix is also, unfortunately, considered a defect.
His fur is a golden orange color with lighter stripes.
His eyes look green in the sun, but they're amber.
His "defect" is also from his human form.
His hair is blond like the strips, so his ears stick out. His freckles are also, unfortunately, considered a "flaw."
Most people think when a cat rubs its head against you, it's a sign of affection, which it is, but it's also them marking their territory.
They're scenting you and showing ownership over you.
It's how cats show pride in their belongings :)
If you let him out of the house to hunt, he will return with "food" for you.
He doesn't really think much of it. It's just his cat's side telling you you're family.
I guarantee you'll walk in on Felix either biting the shit out of a toy or him chasing Hyunjin around the room.
Did you know that cats knead because of their early days of nursing?
Kittens would knead at their mothers to encourage milk production. Adult cats knead to show content or to calm down.
Think of it as Felix feeling safe with you.
Felix is the definition of "If I fits, I sits"
If you're curled up on the couch, then he's curled up in the space behind your knees and thighs.
Small spaces make cats feel safe, so be sure to give Felix spots to hide in.
It helps with his natural instinct to ambush.
If Felix stares at you with thin pupils, try not to stare back.
It's his inner cat on high alert, and it could take that as you threatening him.
Meanwhile, slow blinks are kitty kisses.
If you slowly blink back at Felix, he'll do it repeatedly if he's in cat form. If he's in human form, he'll latch onto you and give you cuddles.
If Felix's nightly zoomies irritate you, feed him before you go to bed, make sure he tires himself out before bed, or get him a food puzzle.
Nightly zoomies are leftover energy mixed with their instinct to hunt during the night.
Airplane ears!
If Felix's ears are just sitting up, then he's listening to his surroundings. If his ears are flicking around, then he's agitated or dealing with anxiety.
Either peacefully help him or leave him alone. If he's in cat form, then leave him alone. He'll come to you if he wants to.
Felix knocks things over only when he is bored, as other cats do. It fascinates him to see things topple over. If you want Felix to stop, find a way to entertain him.
When he flops onto your things, it's him scenting your stuff to show you're his and a sign he wants attention.
When the tip of Felix's tail twitches it can mean he's curious or he's hunting. It'll go away when he calms down.
Seungmin (Golden Retriever)
Golden Retriever
A sassy, playful ball of golden fur. He needs frequent exercise and sheds a lot.
Unlike your stereotypical golden retriever, Seungmin's fur is more soft wheat than golden yellow.
His floppy ears blend with his hair when in human form.
Seungmin doesn't like to be left alone. He won't tell you to stay. He will follow you around.
Seungmin doesn't actively seek out strangers. If someone tries to pet him, then he'll move away.
He also doesn't jump on people and hates when others jump on him.
He's not as social as your average Golden Puppy.
I recommend having a big yard for him to run around if you don't have one for the bigger animals.
Please make sure you feed him the proper amounts. He won't hesitate to raid the fridge if he's hungry.
When he grabs things with his mouth, he's extremely careful.
Softly grabbing your arms or a book to move it out of the way.
He'll share his food with you if you beg enough. He won't actively go out of his way to feed you unless you're ill.
If he's being "Destructive" it's because he isn't stimulated enough.
He needs more mental and physical exercise.
He doesn't have separation anxiety unless you decide to give him a terrible backstory on how you found him.
Otherwise, he's pretty confident that you'll come back home.
If something comes up, you'll communicate the issue and a general idea of when you might be home.
If you don't, he'll be pissed.
It's like breaking a pinky promise. Don't do that.
He'll bop you in the face
Jeongin (Fennec Fox)
Fennec Fox
He's got big ass ears and they grow to accommodate his head in human form (Minho thinks it's hilarious)
He's got a cream color hair with white streaks in them
You can barely see the streaks, but the others tell you they're there
He's such a smart cookie until he gets in his animal form.
Then it's like he lost all brain cells except one. That 1 brain cell alternates between Hyunjin, Changbin, and Jeongin. Occasionally, Jisung will get it.
He kind of just rolls around
He's just there, chilling in the silence or the chaos
In animal form, he'll curl up on your lap or on the bed
If you're in an office, pull up a chair next to you and he'll lay in that instead
He may think you're mad at him, but just giving him rubs or head pats and he's good
He's kind of like a cat
You have to gage his moods
If he doesn't want to be touched, he'll look at you as you touch him like the picture on the left
Just "Mittens off, human" paws crossed and everything
Buy him clothes for his animal form. PLEASE
He loves them
Go to Pinterest or something and look up fennec fox in clothes or something and it's so flipping cute
You know that dolphin screech Jeongin does? That but in animal form...
The picture on the right for the header of this post?
That's him when he has too much energy, but no thoughts to put into action
As a human, he's like your average Jeongin, but with big ass fluffy ears and tail.
Sometimes he knocks stuff over with his tail and he's so sorry
After something crashed, you can hear him whine in the kitchen from your bedroom
The others don't tease him as much as they could because they know he's genuinely sad about it
Not insecure, but definitely annoyed with himself for messing something up again
Reassure him please.
Don't make it too obvious because then he'll shut down and tune you out
Not intentionally, it's just his brain's self defense.
It doesn't want to be reminded of his mistakes.
It's the main reason why he likes staying in his animal form.
This was fun

No Memories, Just Vibes
There is a part of the Jedi Apprentice series that has sparked two different ideas, of which this is the first.
Early in one of the books, before Obi Wan is taken as a padawan, Qui Gon Jinn witnesses a duel between him and another initiate. Qui Gon perceives that these two pre teens (if I remember correctly, Obi Wan is a few weeks away from turning 13 and Bruck Chun was a few months to a year younger) are too angry and tells Obi Wan that he is destined to fall, that training Obi Wan would be a waste of time.
As traumatizing as this speech is, when we take into account Obi Wan’s entire story it is also, objectively, the single most hilarious thing that Qui Gon Jinn could say to Obi Wan Kenobi.
From this Two ideas were born.
IDEA 1
The first is that as soon as Qui Gon tell Obi Wan that he is destined to fall, the Force drops post Death Star Qui Gon into current time Qui Gon’s head. Except there are no memories, just vibes. So between one moment and the next Qui Gon goes from ‘I will not teach you. Get away from me’ to ‘this is my baby padawan, my little boy! Isn’t he precious?’.
And the Masters watching, particularly those responsible for assigning the Master/Padawan pairs, go ‘we were going to let you take the baby, until just now. Now we need do a psych eval’
And Obi Wan (twelve years old) is a mix of emotions that he is not sure there is a word for. Ten minutes ago he was hopeful that Qui Gon Jinn would take him as a padawan. Three minutes ago the same master shattered that hope and left him devastated. Now the Master who devastated him is now hugging him and babbling about a padawan braid and how Obi Wan is his son.
Nothing makes sense.
Eventually, after innumerable medical and psychological tests, Qui Gon is allowed to take Obi Wan as a Padawan. At some point, during the evaluations, Qui Gon comes to two ‘realizations’ (based on nothing but vibes). The first is that he decides that Obi Wan must be the chosen one, but Qui Gon cannot tell anyone, believing that Qui Gon would not be allowed to teach him (left over vibes from the High council not letting him take Anakin as a Padawan) and to not put excess pressure on the baby. He also decides that Obi Wan’s goodness (the vibe that Obi Wan is incapable of falling) is just what is needed to bring Xanatos back to the light.
It should be noted that Qui Gon communicates this plan poorly to Obi Wan, who perceives that Qui Gon took him on to be bait for Qui Gon’s fallen former padawan. Obi Wan, though lacking in much of the trauma that we associate with him, is fairly fatalistic and just shrugs, thinking ‘well, this might as well happen’.
As soon as Qui Gon is released from medical, he takes himself and his shiny new padawan haring across the galaxy looking for Xanatos. It takes long enough to find him that Feemor hears about what is going on and, out of concern for the child involved, goes to find them. When he arrives Qui Gon is waving Obi Wan at Xanatos going ‘I got you a baby brother.’
Feemor, somehow both too young and too old for this shit, goes ‘For Kriffs sake, Qui Gon’ and briefly steals Obi Wan.
At some point Obi Wan and Xanatos bond enough that the next time that Xanatos tells Qui Gon that Xan is going to kill him, Obi Wan pipes up saying that Qui Gon was the only master ho would take him and Obi wan really wants to be a Jedi.
Xanatos now has a new mission, to find a new Master for his little brother, so he can go back to trying to murder Qui Gon. (For handwavy reasons, we’ll call it the repudiation, Feemor is not allowed to take Obi Wan as a Padawan-Xanaots asked).
So now we have the weirdest chase in history. Qui Gon is vibing and chasing Xanatos. Xantos is leading Qui Gon on a chase and looking for another Jedi Master without getting skewered (because of the darksider thing). Obi Wan is being dragged along with Qui Gon, hoping that he gets to learn something about being a jedi before he is killed? He is not even sure. Feemor is following Qui Gon and Obi Wan, occasionally confiscating Obi Wan, because he is not sure anyone should be exposed to this much Qui Gon over any length of time.
They are also utterly ignoring both the senate and the Jedi council. Well Feemor and Qui Gon are ignoring the Jedi Council and the Senate. Xanatos, since he is not part of the Jedi Order any longer, is not bound to either. Obi Wan is actually filling out the required reports to the best of his abilities but the information boils down to ‘We continue to ignore the assigned mission, I am thirteen (having had a birthday in the interim) and cannot change that. Feemor is quite kind when he abducts me.’
You may or may not have guessed but this clusterfuck lands on Galidraan. Just before the fighting between Jango Fett’s True Mandalorians and Dooku’s Jedi is due to erupt. Qui Gon wanders through the tense standoff, stops and with no context whatsoever goes ‘Oh, everyone here is being tricked’. With him is thirteen year old Obi Wan, a tiny child. Xanatos, who beat them to the planet by about an hour strides dramatically as fuck from the other side of the potential battlefield shouting out ‘Qui Gon Jinn, you ass…’ before clocking the Jedi and going ‘Jedi’.
Feemor also lands and exits his ship from yet another direction, already looking like he had a headache, going ‘Qui Gon, what he Kriff’.
Now the tense standoff between the Madalorians and the Jedi is derailed as everyone involved goes from violent rage to baffled rage. Also everyone recognizes that there is now a kid on the battlefield and no one wants to be the one to fight a tiny child. This does eventually defuse things enough that contacts can be exchanged and everyone gets to realize that the governor is the asshole.
Qui Gon refuses to elaborate (and frankly is unable to elaborate, he has no information only vibes) on the ‘Everyone is being tricked’ thing. Or what he meant when he wandered up to Jango Fett, peered at him, and told him ‘You’re not the right one, but I won’t hold it against you’ (what Qui Gon means, even if he doesn’t realize it, is that Jango is not Cody). At some point or another during the time that they are figuring this out, everyone in the combined party of Jedi/Darksiders/Mandalorians/Other says ‘For Kriffs sake, Qui Gon’ (This includes two Deathwatch prisoners captured during the campaign).
Throughout this Xanatos keeps trying to corner other Jedi to get them to take on Obi Wan, except he is also not great at communicating his intentions, so it is perceived that he is trying to get rid of Obi Wan so that he can have Qui Gon to himself. No one is willing to question any further, though most are a little freaked out.
IDEA 2
The second idea is not quite as detailed. It’s a Read/Watch the series. Again we start from Qui Gon telling Obi Wan that he is destined to fall. The Force pulls everyone (initiates, knights, Masters, and the Council members) in the area outside of time where they watch the Movies and shows (Starting with TPM and watching in chronological Order: The prequels, The Clone Wars, Kenobi, the OT) with a focus on Obi Wan Kenobi.
So everyone gets to go ‘Oh, Obi Wan is actually awesome’. Except of course for Obi Wan, who nearly has a breakdown believing that this is proof that he should not be a Jedi knight (somehow convinced that the Purge/Order 66 is actually his own fault).
So now Obi Wan has a plethora of Masters who want to train him (including Qui Gon, who again believes that Obi Wan must be the Chosen One) , additional trauma of survivor's guilt before the events that he survived, and a shiny new appointment with the mind healers. He also has the admiration of the initiates that had previously bullied him.
The Jedi council is able to piece together enough information on the Sith to try and change things, with varying results.

The Cardboard Box pt 1
An uninspiring title, but apparently it's controversial? All my brain is thinking (I am still le tired) is 'Big fish, little fish, cardboard box' over and over again.
If you don't get that reference, that's probably for the best. the early noughties were weird.
Anyway. I hereby do swear that this time I shall read the text more carefully and all my claims, accusations and harebrained ideas will be based in textual evidence and not mere vibes alone. One cannot thrive on vibes alone!
I'm going to try anyway. I may still dislike characters on principle, though.
He did however take a particular fancy to some of the paragraphs at the beginning of the tale and urged me adapt them for later revisions of my story ‘The Resident Patient’, which I sent to you in January.
OK, so is this going to be an AU version of The Resident Patient? Because I feel like that gives me a head start on the guessing.
I did a side by side of the two and overall it seems pretty much the same, except we're now in August and it's blazing hot. I shudder to think how Watson would have described August in the UK last year. Then we have the discussion about Holmes reading Watson's mind body language. Until we get to the first significant difference:
"Have you observed in the paper a short paragraph referring to the remarkable contents of a packet sent through the post to Miss Cushing, of Cross Street, Croydon?”
"No, I saw nothing."
Aha, the titular cardboard box, one wonders?
Watson is really falling behind in his paper reading duties. Holmes is doing all the legwork here. Honestly. You just can't get a good chronicler these days! But he's still making Watson read it aloud.
Holmes does like hearing things read aloud. He'd be all over audiobooks, but he's got Watson for that so it's all good.
I picked up the paper which he had thrown back to me and read the paragraph indicated. It was headed, “A Gruesome Packet.”
Ooooh, I think I might remember a bit of this one. I might remember what's in the box, anyway.
Sorry, that was my contractual obligation.
“Miss Susan Cushing, living at Cross Street, Croydon, has been made the victim of what must be regarded as a peculiarly revolting practical joke unless some more sinister meaning should prove to be attached to the incident."
If it's what I think it is then practical jokes were significantly more aggressive in the Victorian Era. I don't think even TikTok has graduated to this level. We're getting a pretty weird look at the 1800s English sense of humour: beating other children with sticks and... this.
"A cardboard box was inside, which was filled with coarse salt."
Everyone needs some seasoning on their... "two human ears [...] quite freshly severed".
Okay, poor taste, poor taste. I know it's there for preservation. Also weirdly I thought it was going to be fingers. Don't know why I thought that. But yes, this is quite the jape, my friend. I just cut off some human ears and sent them to you.
How is this a practical joke? These are genuine freshly cut ears. Even if they're from a cadaver, that's theft and criminal damage at the very least. Isn't it? And I thought they were particularly strict on stuff like that in the 1800s. We're a little late for the Resurrection Man and Burke and Hare, but they did not like people messing around with corpses.
Okay, research research: 'The Anatomy Act of 1832 made it legal for corpses from workhouses that remained unclaimed after forty-eight hours to be used to satisfy the demands of the anatomists.'
Welp, I guess it was okay to do anything to corpses if they were the corpses of poor people with no friends or family (or at least no friends/family who could afford to claim them).
I mean, on one hand it stopped people from being murdered and science needed bodies to learn how bodies work better (good lord did we need to learn how bodies work better) but on the other hand, this does make me uncomfortable. Workhouse in life, still put to work in death. Also, from a purely scientific viewpoint, your sample is biased. You need some rich people bodies in there, too.
"There is no indication as to the sender, and the matter is the more mysterious as Miss Cushing, who is a maiden lady of fifty, has led a most retired life, and has so few acquaintances or correspondents that it is a rare event for her to receive anything through the post."
So, either she's secretly running an underground crime ring. Or the ears were meant for someone else with the name S. Cushing.
"...she let apartments in her house to three young medical students..."
Oh, yeah, fine. All makes sense now. Medical students are fucking feral. I have met literally one in my life who I would have been comfortable to have as a doctor, and I think he was just really good at hiding it. Guy once got 'kidnapped' by an entire female hockey team and ended up in an entirely different city. Another one I know just kept a dead squirrel in the shared freezer so he could do dissection practice on it.
I'd put the Dead Dove, Do Not Eat gif, but he didn't even label the fucker.
"...their noisy and irregular habits..."
Medical students... yeah.
"In the meantime, the matter is being actively investigated, Mr. Lestrade, one of the very smartest of our detective officers, being in charge of the case.”
Oh hai, Lestrade!
At least the police are putting an actual detective on the case and not just saying 'oh it's a silly prank' and ignoring the transportation of human body parts. Was it illegal to send human remains by the royal mail at that time?
“I think that this case is very much in your line. We have every hope of clearing the matter up, but we find a little difficulty in getting anything to work upon."
'We're totally going to do this, we just don't have... any idea how. But we totally could!'
"The box is a half-pound box of honeydew tobacco and does not help us in any way."
Did somebody say... TOBACCO?
A specialist subject has entered the chat.
If Holmes doesn't use his extensive and very detailed knowledge of tobacco to help solve this case, I will be v. disappoint.
Lestrade, as wiry, as dapper, and as ferret-like as ever...
Watson is contractually obliged to remind you that Lestrade looks like a ferret every time he appears. His publisher insists on it.
I'm informed that an antimacassar is an arm cover for an armchair or sofa. My Nana used to have them. They had tassels and I'd get told off for plaiting the threads in the tassels together. Good times.
“Why in my presence, sir?”
“In case he wished to ask any questions.”
“What is the use of asking me questions when I tell you I know nothing whatever about it?”
Miss Cushing has very strong Done With This energy and I am here for it. Those are not her ears. She has perfectly good ones thank you very much, and she does not need any more. Why are you still bothering her?
“Quite so, madam,” said Holmes in his soothing way. “I have no doubt that you have been annoyed more than enough already over this business.”
Holmes once again showing that he does have emotional intelligence no matter what people might think.
“The importance lies in the fact that the knot is left intact, and that this knot is of a peculiar character.”
Oh, not the tobacco knowledge, but the knot knowledge. I see 'peculiar' and 'knot' in the same sentence and I immediately think 'sailing'.
Address printed in rather straggling characters: ‘Miss S. Cushing, Cross Street, Croydon.’ Done with a broad-pointed pen, probably a J, and with very inferior ink. The word ‘Croydon’ has been originally spelled with an ‘i’, which has been changed to ‘y’.
Our sender has poor handwriting and poor spelling, then. The 'wrong person' theory is growing stronger. The likelihood that Miss Cushing is a criminal mastermind diminshes. Shame.
He took out the two ears as he spoke, and laying a board across his knee he examined them minutely.
Is he wearing gloves? Please tell me he's wearing gloves.
“Bodies in the dissecting-rooms are injected with preservative fluid. These ears bear no signs of this. They are fresh, too. They have been cut off with a blunt instrument, which would hardly happen if a student had done it."
This feels like something the police should already have noticed. If the questions are 'Where did these ears come from? Has a crime been committed?' you would think someone would have considered whether they were from a preserved corpse or someone fresh. I know that policing has changed a lot since then and forensic medicine wasn't really a thing, but clearly they suspected foul play was a possibility, because Lestrade called for Holmes.
"We know that this woman has led a most quiet and respectable life at Penge and here for the last twenty years. She has hardly been away from her home for a day during that time."
Oh, Lestrade. The things you can do without leaving your home. She might have anyone buried under the floorboards. She might have been sending blackmail letters to her neighbours. She might have been doing any number of things. I still think the wrong person got the parcel, but saying that she's just too respectable for this is very optimistic of you.
I do agree that if she knew what the ears were about, she probably wouldn't have told anyone about them. Unless she's in such a secure position that she doesn't think anyone would ever trace anything back to her. In most situations, it wouldn't be the best move.
"One of these ears is a woman's, small, finely formed, and pierced for an earring."
Did no men wear earrings in Victorian times? Admittedly, probably not 'respectable' men, but the knot's already pointing me at sailor (as is the tarring on the string, tbh) and it used to be a thing that tattoos were mostly a sailor thing over here, and piercing is a similar kind of body art. So a woman or a sailor with small ears.
omg. pirates.
"The other is a man's, sun-burned, discoloured, and also pierced for an earring."
Oh, okay, so the earring wasn't the thing. Doesn't prevent the first ear from belonging to a small pirate, though. Sunburned also makes me think sailors. They have to be outside a lot with no shade. Sunburn on your ears is the worst. They have my sincere sympathy.
Also, y'know, cause they got their ear cut off - with a blunt blade, which... eesh.
"These two people are presumably dead, or we should have heard their story before now."
I mean, they could have been kidnapped and this could be proof of life. These days if you get an unsolicited body part in the real life mail the mind does go to kidnapping. Maybe that originates here - but they have no way of knowing whether the ear was detached ante or post mortem at this point, do they? So it's more proof of having, rather than proof of life. And I don't think I'd recognise my friends or family by their ears, so it's not even really that. If the earrings had been attached then I might recognise them.
Yeah... s'weird. But it doesn't necessarily mean they're dead. Although... Victorian hygiene and understanding of germ theory.
...
Yeah, they've got sepsis. They're dead.
Question spiral! Holmes just asking himself question after question is very relatable. And bringing up all relevant points about how if Miss Cushing knows what's going on, taking the ears to the police but telling them nothing is the weirdest possible response.
I'm assuming that the subject of this email is wrong, because if this is part 1 of 1, there is no conclusion to this story and so without further evidence, I am forced to believe that one large pirate and one small pirate, genders unknown, are currently dead/dying of sepsis and the true recipient of these ears, M. S Cushing (any or all letters interchangeable) has heard nothing of their fate. Although, given it was in the newspaper, they probably have heard about it by now. So maybe they don't need the ears.
No idea why the ears were sent though. Proof of a hit? Proof of life? Just a creepy serial killer who likes to send the ears of their past victim to their next victim? Probably not that one, seems a bit Criminal Minds for a Sherlock Holmes story, but you never know.

Tired so I'm gonna do random hcs of how I think certain characters would react to a beastman reader going into heat (this isn't based on my oc noooooooo/liar)
Characters: Wise, Nicole, Billy, and Lycaon
Gender Neutral Reader!
Warnings: Heat (ofc), mentions of; breeding, knotting, toys, and pregnancy, possible ooc because the game isn't out yet
Honestly he gives me the vibes of like, not fully understanding what's happening.
Like he's gonna notice the way you're acting right away, but he won't understand why you're acting that way. If you try to hide the fact that you're in heat, it's only gonna make him worry. When, not if, you do tell him, he'll be relieved.
Honest to god he would already have blankets and pillows out to help you with making a nest if you do that during your heat, would definitely give you his jacket for a few days.
Since he's a human don't expect him to go for too many rounds, you might overestimulate the poor boy. But he tries his best to satisfy you, and also have the best toys to use on you when he needs a break.
All in all he may need a little help with how read the tell tale signs, but after some time he'll become a master at noticing when you're about to go into heat.
Nicole would keep track of you heats, to the point where she can predict when it will happen to a scary degree. One minute she'll be getting ready for the next commission, the next she's warning you about your coming next week.
And oh honey, her funds may be in the red but that won't stop her from treating you like royalty during your heat. She'll spoil you with many different soft, and expensive, pillows and blankets, toys, or even heat suppressants if wanted.
While the gentle hares typically take on loads of different odd jobs all the time to keep their funds afloat, during your heat that's out the window. Nicole is gonna be right next to you the whole time, which gives the others a break (tho at the cost of a paycheck-)
If you need some extra loving, then she's at your service! She's capable of going down on you for hours on end, even more when going farther. There's a reason she's the founder of a group called the Cunning Hares, she can go for as long as you can.
In the end, while her wallet is crying from the splurge to help you in your heats, she doesn't regret a single thing.
Lord help this man, he's not gonna realize until it hits him in the groin. But like once he does he instantly knows what to do, or so he believes.
Honestly you're gonna have to hold his hand a little for how to help you in these times, cause otherwise he may accidentally do something.
Don't be surprised if all the blankets and pillows are Starlight Knight themed. Though he won't ever give you his Starlight Knight clothes, he will gladly give you the jacket he typically wears! Just don't stain it too much, poor boy's machinery may malfunction due to him being flustered.
Since he's a cyborg he definitely has enhanced stamina and strength thanks to his cybernetics. Which means he can go for as long as you need him to, though be cautious and make sure to tell him to slow down when needed. Otherwise he may go on longer than you can.
He tries his best in the end, and while he may be oblivious in the beginning, he definitely is serious when it comes to making sure you're comfortable during your heat. After all, he is your Starlight Knight.
While during that time he may be thinking about filling you up with his pups, his main goal is to just make sure you're satisfied and comfortable during your heat. He can talk about his wants for a family at a later time, when you're both not running on animal instinct to mate.
Oh boy. Okay so...yeah he's gonna know before you do. He can smell it for heavens sake, so he would make preparations before you even get a hint of if coming.
Honestly he may even just have a special room if you have heats at a higher frequency. It would be filled to the brim with high quality materials and everything would be scented by him regularly just in case he can't be by your side because of work.
Though usually if you're in heat, the smell of it may trigger his rut. Which leads to him having to take time off work just so he stays by your side.
And my god will you be seeing stars, this wolf will breed you so much you're gonna be thankful Eridu has huge advancements in contraceptives. Don't even think about leaving the room cause you're gonna be stuck to his pelvis for a long time thanks to his knot.
#zenless zone zero x reader#wise (zzz) x reader#nicole demara x reader#billy kid x reader#von lycaon x reader#pillow talk#totally tried not to have my bias show but duekejekrjfkf literally my character choices are biased

bollywoodtan sonyeondan: bts in 2010s rom-coms
Listen, I’ve had a filmy weekend, okay? First my friends got engaged and threw a party, then my other friend and I had a sleepover and binged The Romantics, and on top of that, I think I’ve watched five other different Bollywood movies this weekend and I need to channel this energy somehow so please enjoy my explanations for casting BTS in these 2010s Bollywood rom-coms which I hope one day me (or anyone else) can turn into fics thank you very much
Ok, let’s begin:
Kim Namjoon - Baar Baar Dekho
Listen, I know this movie was critically panned? Do I fucking care? No. I love this movie, I would go to war for this movie because Sidharth and Katrina induce massive amounts of bi panic within me. I love Jai and Diya, I love their love, I love the time travel, I love Kala Chashma. So that’s why I’m choosing none other than Bangtan’s resident intellectual Mr. Namjoon to fill those shoes, okay? Namjoon’s expressed his own profound thoughts about marriage, just like Mr. Jai, and him as a genius mathematician who gets caught in a time loop. Drooling
Kim Seokjin - Hasee Toh Phasee
Again, I would d word for this movie bc it’s just so??!!! My crush on Sidharth Malhotra non-withstanding, this movie is chaotic and beautiful in the best way. It doesn’t try to be flashy or suave, and instead embraces its inner dork. Who does that remind you of, huh? Mr. Kim Seokjin, that’s fuckin who. Nikhil and Meeta just give major OTP vibes, him being a through and through himbo and her being a neurodivergent genius who he can’t help simping over!! Give me Seokjin and OC causing major chaos I beg! And put Zehnaseeb on in the background while you’re at it!
Min Yoongi - Khoobsurat
Am I biased bc I’m Pakistani? Am I biased bc it’s Fawad? Maybe, maybe not! But to quote Lizzie McGuire, this is what dreams are made of!! An off-beat physiotherapist meets a tsundere prince?? And he gradually warms up to her while they get into their own royal shenanigans? You can’t tell me this role wasn’t written for Yoongi, and long haired Yoongi specifically. The grumpy x sunshine trope is super strong with this one, and I love the brightness that Milli brings to the entire family, not just the prince. The Disney movie of everyone’s dreams <3
Jung Hoseok - Mere Brother Ki Dulhan
Listen, this movie doesn’t get enough credit for just being fun the entire way through!! The comedy is top-tier and the characters are just so likeable and wholesome!! And just this big, amazing hare-brained matchmaking effort that is so Bollywood!! And Imran Khan’s Kush being in love with Katrina’s Dimple, who is definitely bisexual (Dhunki, anyone?!). It’s giving King Hobi vibes, not only because he would go out of his way to do anything for someone he loved, but also because Choomantar is definitely siblings with Daydream and I need to see him bust it down to Do Dhaari Talwar thank you for coming to my TED Talk
Park Jimin - Aisha
Let’s all agree that Gal Mitthi Mitthi Bol is a banger, and then let’s all swoon over Jimin in this adaptation which is based on Emma!! I literally can’t decide if I want Jimin in Aisha or Arjun’s role, but it’d be so fun either way!! I kinda like the idea of him trying to set up all his guy friends and them just being such a fun group who all have their own individual love stories sighhhh. And OC being Arjun who’s all no nonsense and the grounding presence in Jimin/Aisha’s life!! Also the style in this movie was inspired by Clueless, and our mans models for Dior so that’s enough for me to want to make it happen
Kim Taehyung - I Hate Luv Storys
Fun fact - I once watched this movie instead of studying for an exam that was happening at the end of the weekend and had so much fun I passed out on my friend’s couch until 3pm the next day!! This is another one of those nostalgic movies that pays homage to all the fun romantic Bollywood tropes!! And all the DDLJ references made me totally think Taehyung! Except he’s not Jay, he’s Simran, and OC will be Jay, and Taehyung has to convince her to believe in romance!! I think that’s a fitting task for the man I consider to be the most romantic member of Bangtan (he’s SRK’s Korean incarnation imo)
Jeon Jungkook - Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
If there’s one himbo I stan, it’s Humpty Sharma. If there’s another himbo I stan, it’s Jungkook. I literally have a severe emotional attachment to this movie and could probably quote most of the lines to you. What I love about this is how Humpty literally shatters all the stereotypes about toxic masculinity - he cries, he’s vulnerable, he believes in love. It just screams bby boi Jungkook vibes. Also pls him doing the most to get Kavya her wedding lehenga - that’s some of the cutest shit Bollywood has pulled in a while and I’m 10000% here for it (pls bring in Jimin and Tae as Shonty and Poplu too)
Anyways, thanks for listening to me ramble!! If anyone is interested, I’d love to do more of these, like maybe 2000s rom-coms or action movies!! I’m here for any discourse you guys have too, let’s be film nerds together 💜

heyy ik this is out of my usual and prob out of the blue but fsr i rlly wanted to share what i think abt what kind of songs the becile bots would fit into or listen to for the SPG and CFE fandom so here it goes 😭 :3 👉👈
(i'm obsessed w the designs of the characters and the idea of them but i *accidentally* made my own world of it and i can't get out of it help mejshskns. i even made redesigns of hare and jack if i should post them here cuz they're on my insta, thinking abt it. but anyways is this an au of an au? hhhmmm)
(also don't think i don't know the epic blog @ask-the-becile-boys) (it's a lil embarrassing tagging them but oh well lol😭)
tl;dr: i hc hare liking house of wolves by mcr, dig by mudvayne, and (sic) by slipknot. and the jack liking smells like teen spirit by nirvana, misery business by paramore, and blood by mcr (i also hc the jack as mansplain and manipulate). nothing for skull sorry bby </3 ☹️
HARE 🔥🔥💥💣 (he's a mad rodent that's sensitive and luvs when things go his way but better watch out when things don't. he's also a macho trans masc /canon yay)
house of wolves by my chemical romance because:
dig by mudvayne because:
and (sic) by slipknot because:
THE JACK 🤪💥🥰🎸🐓 (i like his lore in the blog, but personally i like his personality a bit differently (bc i gave myself too much free time))
what i made him become in summary: he's insane, a maniac, probably a pyromaniac, but he's free, he's cringe but is free, a bit of a fan of patriarchy but lost interest when he found it wasn't abt horses /ref, manipulates ppl just for the thrill of it, diagnosed antisocial personality disorder somehow as a robot, but still v social, he just likes to be silly and ruin ppl's day without getting in trouble bc of hare, he's spoiled bc of hare, the company is afraid of hare, he likes pranks, likes grunge, and thinks kurt cobain is jesus and will one day return from the dead to save the robots)
ok here's the songs: smells like teen spirit by nirvana (who could've guessed) because:
also bc of the vibe
blood by my chemical romance because:
(oh, and he will also rip your guts out for fun and also drain you of your blood to give it to dying ppl in need if you're not careful)
and misery business by paramore because:
not bc he relates to stealing a guy from a girl (or maybe he does idk) but bc 1. the song bangs, and 2. it's abt manipulation and he luvs being a lil prankster. he prob ruined a relationship just for fun and his excuse was: NO DATING AT WORK.
I HAVE NOTHING FOR THE MAFIA AESTHETIC SKULL YET. I'M SORRY BBY </33 but i like his thing in the blog too (it's just the jack i changed fsr) and i hc he knitted clothes for poor women and children during the great depression. idk if he was doing anything that time but yes. he's kind under all that rough, metallic exterior.
so yeah, this is my au of an au and yes this is a heavy metal/metal rock band 😭😭🥰🥰 i didn't include the other characters bc these r the 3 i'm obsessed with.
if u actually read this that's impressive. i mostly made this bc ig i just wanted my idea to be out there even tho it won't get that much attention i wanted to speak out lolisjdk anyways
#becile bots#headcannons#headcannons everywhere#au of an au#my au#becile boys#hare becile#the jack becile#i love this fandom#steam powered giraffe#steam powered giraffe au#SPG#long post#barbie reference#slipknot#my chemical romance#mcr#mudvayne#nirvana#paramore

The Hare Hare MV is very Twice. That is to say, it's very cute and fun at times, but not super cohesive; it's a bit of an eye sore, some dance scenes seem poorly edited. But I like the outdoors scenes a lot. Twice rarely shoot out in the open, so that was refreshing and fit the song really well. The main issue I have with the MV is actually the styling. It just doesn't fit the song. Throughout the MV, Twice either wear their TTT's era y2k fashion or their Set Me Free/Cry For Me/ICSM/World Tour/etc. go-to fashion. It's so uninspired, like they're just recycling concepts. Hare Hare sounds very different from their other releases, both Korean and Japanese, and even the MV is unique for them, so JYPE should've capitalized on that and given the girls some more unique styling to fit the bright, somewhat offbeat vibe of the song. I think the song is really cool and the dance looks really cool too, so I wished they had better styling. At this point, I agree with people who say Twice need to change their styling. I love the tight dresses with the garters and the chunky boots but both Twice's styling and music are too consistent at this point. I appreciate they always deliver but I want to be surprised. They would benefit immensely from a concept change. They're too Twice. I love Twice, but I wish they'd release a song in a different style; for example, with a different line distribution, in a lower pitch, with a more relaxed MV, etc. I think the styling would follow naturally.
Anyway, Catch a Wave is very cool, but too high-pitched. I think their Japanese songs, especially the bsides, tend to be very high-pitched and most members struggle to sound comfortable. The instrumental and melody are super solid but I don't like Dahyun and Momo's adlibs and the "Catch a wave" hook is too much for a lot of the members, who sound very strained. It's still a good song, but would probably sound better with other voices. JYPE's music production could also be improved. It doesn't sound all that smooth or natural? Don't know how to explain it.
Still, like I said, Twice always deliver so kudos to the girls for that, and I'm looking forward to seeing the whole choreo! But I still don't get why they released the song a month before the MV. They killed any impact the MV might've had and the song's momentum too... Twice's promo isn't great. I remember the teaser for The Feels dropped over a month before the song did, and I got so angry at the long wait, but then forgot the song was coming out... I'm probably not the only one that happened to. Don't know what Twice gained from doing that.

Rate your muses from most to least possessive.
OH FUCK LMAO KEJRNHM. I would say all of them are at least a little possessive if only because of the dynamic between “Alice” and the Wonderlandians, but that being said some of them certainly are way more NORMAL about it than others KJENRMHKJN.
From MOST to least possessive:
Bandersnatch / Amadeu. They’re the blog yandere. 🥴 Speaks for itself. Although I made a conscious effort to make them less ... icky than the traditional yandere, they do still retain some of those traits and if someone touches their partner with a fingertip, they’ll break that someone’s whole arm. Yada yada, as yanderes do.
Red Queen / Beatrice. She’s the more traditional yandere but she doesn’t actually love Alice at all since her whole route is a betrayal so she doesn’t count lmfao.
White Rabbit / Darcy. Gestures to the entire story of this blog. He was also ORIGINALLY supposed to be a yandere archetype but his role got taken by Amadeu instead, fun facts. Ur welcome. That said, he does end up letting Alice go to be happy with someone else if they’re on a different character’s route & get the good ending so. Small claps.
March Hare / Briar. Gestures to his trauma and fear of having his heart broken.
Mock Turtle / Yvette. Prob falls into the trap of being dependent on her partner because her mental health isn’t exactly great, but she IS capable of improvement if given time.
Jabberwock / Aleister. Actually p healthy about it, though, makes an effort not to be overbearing and gives space when needed.
Nobody / Freyr. That happens when only one bitch in this world can see u KJERNHM.
Pigeon / Vaeril. HIS BACKSTORY MAKES THINGS ROUGH.
Tweedle-Dee / Cecil. As a tsundere often is.
King of Hearts / Valentin. To a p normal degree of wanting to show off his relationship but still letting his partner have their own life.
White King / Ekailde. ^ Similar.
Humpty-Dumpty / Yurii, !!NOT ROMANTIC!!, he’s desperate for parental attention, so he’s clingy.
Dormouse / Doremi. His shoddy memory makes him extra clingy, sometimes, but he’s not problematic about it.
Dodo / Ambrose. He’s very regal and understands the importance of having a large social circle, but much like the other royals, still enjoys a very publicly known relationship.
Caterpillar / Adelaide. Needs time to herself and thus affords the same respect to her partner when it’s needed. Trusts them not to betray her.
Mad Hatter / Idris. ^ Similar.
Cheshire Cat / Asher. Man’s is just vibing. Go make friends other than him or you’re a lame ass bitch and he’ll make fun of you for it.
Duchess / Lacrima. Dude she’s just happy she can be around someone without melting them. She EXPECTS sb to leave her for someone else KENJRHM. No faith, already given up.
Tweedle-Dum / Cecille. So chill. So, so very chill. No reason to cause problems unless there actually is one.
Gryphon / Faelen. ^ Even chiller. Has all the trust in his partner and then some.
Raven / Magnus. ^ These three make up the trinity of normal people who simply trust their partners and feel no need to throw hands with the people around them.
Knave of Diamonds / Saevil. Literally does not care who his partner is around, feels absolutely no need to flaunt a relationship. Just wants to be comfortable and assumes trust is there, both ways.
Doll Maker / Feyrithe. As the Queen of all the Fae, not only does he need to have trust in his partner, he also is expecting his partner to return that trust in him, although he doesn’t mind a little mischievous jealousy here & there. It’s for fun with him.
Gnat / Dinah. He’s actually p brutal despite being the least possessive of all the muses. While he seems easygoing / lax, he IS one of the least forgiving lmao. If someone betrays him it’s their fault, not the third party’s, and he drops them like dirt under his heel no matter how in love with them he is. Dinah doesn’t play. No need to be possessive if you hold your partner as the one accountable for their own actions. ☠️

Smithereens
Director Susan Seidelman Stars Susan Berman, Brad Rijn, Richard Hell USA 1982 Language English 1hr 33mins Colour
Authentically roach-infested view of post-punk NYC
Desperately Seeking Susan is a delightful film that takes a touristy trip to a scrubbed-up version of Manhattan’s mid-‘80s downtown scene. For a grimier, noisier and less alluring take, you need to watch director Susan Seidelman’s previous movie, Smithereens.
Smithereens is about Wren (Susan Berman), who we meet wearing a plastic houndstooth skirt and checkered sunglasses. She’s mouthy, energetic, very what people think of as New York (and like a lot of classic New Yorkers, she’s actually from New Jersey). She’s on the scene, talking her way into clubs, trying to meet bands, self-promoting with Xeroxes of herself and the words ‘Who is this?’ that she hands out or sticks on walls.
She’s both vulnerable and a user, and seems to be the kind of person who wears through people’s patience. There’s something proto-Llewyn Davis about the way she runs out of places to sleep/park her stuff. During the short time frame covered by the film, there are two men she spends time with: Eric (punk pioneer Richard Hell), singer in Smithereens, and clueless out-of-towner Paul (Brad Rijn), whose main utility to Wren is that he has a van to sleep in. Eric might seem big time by comparison, but even he lives in an ultra-grubby loft and is constantly on the look out for new ways to hustle cash.
Seidelman does not, then, seem to trying to tempt us into this world. It looks tiring and uncomfortable and none-too-glamorous, no matter how cool some of the characters appear to be before you get to know them.
I wonder a bit about the intended and perceived balance of sympathy, when it was made and now, between Wren and Paul from Montana. Wren definitely strings Paul along, but it’s on him to realise that doing favours for anyone brings no duty to provide sex in return. My guess is that that’s Seidelman’s view but some viewers saw it differently.
Wren, I feel, is something of a precursor to the young women struggling to hold it together in boho New York in movies like Frances Ha, but her existence is more precarious both financially and safety-wise.
It’s low-budget but not experimental – the film is episodic but linear: there’s a clear beginning and end and Seidelman avoids gimmicks. There’s no disguising the low budget but its nicely shot by Chirine El Khadem.
One of the things I mentioned in my review of Desperately Seeking Susan is that while there are assorted cult musicians in doing bit parts, the music is very mainstream. Not so here: weaving its way through the film are the spidery guitars of New Jersey band The Feelies, whose vibe is encapsulated by the title of the first song on their debut album (and present in this film) The Boy with the Perpetual Nervousness. The highlight of the soundtrack might be ESG’s indie-funk classic Moody.
But the real snob points on the music front come not from a band you hear in the film, but whose name you can see on the marquee of The Peppermint Lounge: 3 Teens Kill 4. They are remembered not for any of the songs but because one of their members was artist/writer David Wojnarowicz, the dead-too-soon downtown martyr of choice for people who feel that Basquiat and Haring are way too mainstream.
If Smithereens is more authentic than Desperately Seeking Susan, more representative of the grotty lives that many people trying to get a bit of the action in post-punk New York, does that make it a better movie? Emphatically not – if you see one of these two films, definitely make it Desperately Seeking Susan. But Smithereens is certainly worth a watch if you are interested in this time and place or like a female antihero.

I Only Swim Free: Chapter 3
Pairing: Bela Dimitrescu x (Fem!)Reader
Summary: You’ve done swimming all your life. You’ve gotten to your dream college on a scholarship for your outstanding freestyle technique back in high school. Relationships never crossed your mind however, that was before you met your swim team captain: Bela Dimitrescu.
Warning: Jealousy, heavy couple-arguements, domestic abuse, alcohol abuse
A/N: Rather than having this be a one chapter story, I decided to make this thing a whole series!
“Dried up Youthful Fame” - OLDCODEX
--------------------------------------------
You slide your flip flops on as you hoist your swim team jacket around and through your arms. You catch up to the rest of your teammates and step out onto the floor of the pool. You're overwhelmed with the amount of people that are there. Especially when you looked up and saw a seemingly tall woman with two other girls at both her sides.
"That's Dean Dimitrescu and Bela's sisters: Cassandra and Daniela," one of your team members catches you staring at them
You were sort of aware that Bela was the daughter of Dean Dimitrescu, but you didn't expect them to be here; at your first swim meet.
"I see," you only reply
You get into one of those group huddle things before the game, Bela immediately draping her arm around your shoulders.
"Alright girls, we've been working all week for this one, we're going against our hugest rival; Heisenberg University."
You've heard about them. They've got Dean Heisenberg and Coach Miranda. You weren't sure what her last name was, you've only hear her being referred to as Coach Miranda.
"You got that y/n?" Bela turns to you
"I'm sorry what Captain?" You ask, realizing you were barely paying any attention
"Oh stars, The first event is the 100 m Freestyle, so you're up first," Bela re-explains to you
You nod, however you were nervous.
"You got this y/n," all the girls encourage you
You walk into a different direction, to get up onto the podium as the rest of the girls stand along the sidelines to watch you. As you ready yourself, you begin thinking about how you were going to round the lap before hearing a beeping sound, enabling your body to dive into the water. As you flex your muscles to the best of your abilities, you manage to round the other direction in due time however the rival right on your tail. However, your palm presses against the wall, stopping the clock for your slot. You look up the scoreboard and saw you had come in first, however, the rival’s score time was just right behind yours.
I have to step up my speed...
You climb out of the water and Bela gets your swim jacket wrapped around you. You watch the next several events go down. At one point there was a medley relay however you left that to another member. You did another freestyle event however that was pretty much it.
“This next event is the 500 m Butterfly,” The announcer says
You watch Bela step away from you. She takes off her jacket and she makes quick eye contact with you before giving you a wink. Your eyes travel down to her bottom and you had to tear your eyes away from her fitting figure.
Girl’s got some figure... Damn shut up...
As you watch her get set for her even, you look up into the audience and notice her boyfriend looking solely at you. You notice how his eyes are giving you vibes that you weren’t enjoying. So you put your eyes back onto Bela, just as the beeps sound goes off again. You watch her form dive into the water and begin gazing at her back muscles as she drags her arms out of the water. You watch the muscles she had to show off flex with each stroke.
Bela snags the first place spot with ease. You hang around in the locker room as the diving portion is about to begin.
“You sure know how to put on a show y/n,” a familiar voice calls out to you
You turn your head and shut your locker and smile, “Not so bad yourself little butterfly.”
“Little dolphin,” She flirts
She walks up to you and gets into your personal space. you weren’t complaining if you were honest. She tugs on the collar of your jacket and plants her lips against yours. She quickly pulls her lips away when she hears the doors open. you re-compose yourself for whomever interrupted your alone time with Bela.
“Just want to let you know Captain that the Diving events are starting,” One of the members says, gesturing to the other side of the door
You follow Bela out to the floor and sit next to her as you and your team were seated separately from all the spectators. You couldn’t help but turn to where her boyfriend was sitting and you swear he looks closer than he already was. You just turn your attention back to your divers of the team and Bela. You cheer when there is cheering to be done. There was a few more events before the meet ended.
You couldn’t help but look over towards who must’ve been Heisenberg as you’ve taken notice to Dean Dimitrescu as she watches him carefully.
"Now, this just in, we have our very first 1500 m Freestyle event," the announcer says
You and Bela, along with your team and Dean Dimitrescu look surprised.
"Heisenberg you fool," Dimitrescu growls, looking into his direction
"Now, will one member from each team steps forth for this event," he requests
You knew you were the only one who could do it, regardless if you've only swam up to 500 m in the Freestyle technique. So you take a couple steps away from Bela.
"State your name," the announcer says
"Y/n Y/l/n," you say, "1st year Freestyle Swimmer."
Everyone in the vicinity gasps. How could a 1st year possibly swim the 1500 m event? Surely it was impossible. The one swimmer from the other team does the same however, they were a 4th year swimmer. But it didn't phase you. You've swam all your life. All the preparations have come for this moment. You look up and notice Dean Dimitrescu talking to the announcer.
"We will take a 10 minute recess," he announces
You immediately bolt for the locker room, finally shedding your unphased nature, to reveal a scared 18 year old. You immediately plug in your music to play your one song you play before every meet. However, you needed it. You could feel someone's presence next to you and an arm wrap around you. You knew the familiar sort touch: Bela. You take out one earbud for her to listen to the song with you like you did on the rooftop last night.
"Its okay to be nervous," she says
You lay your head against her shoulder, "Is it? Because that girl clearly has the same build as I do... What if she's faster than me? We've seen her do multiple events."
"But this is your time to shine y/n," Bela puts a finger under your chin to look up at her, "You only swim free, right? So show that to everyone. Show them what you show me during practice."
You stop playing your music when you could hear the mic giving feedback, hinting that you needed to get yourself back out there for the event. There was no turning back. However, Bela was right next to you as you exited the locker room, feeling like an entire different person.
Let's do this y/n....
You put on your swim cap and goggles and get up on the podium to leap off of. The rival member get onto the one right next to you.
"Ready," the announcer says
The both of you lift your legs in preparation for the leap. A beep sound echoes in the arena as both you and your rival leap into the water.
30 laps in a 50 meter pool.... You got this, just PUSH through!!
You could hear the song that you were playing in the 10 minute recess, giving you a confidence boost. However only 15 laps in, and your rival is still on your tail. You were ahead by a hare, not too much but you were pulling the lead spot. However, when you turn your head to take a deep breath, you could see that the rival swimmer was beginning to pull ahead on the 28th lap.
Step it up y/n... GO!!!!
You begin to put more power into your calves and move them even faster than you normally swim. You flip and round the last stretch just before the rival swimmer could.
Come on!!
You began to feel on fire. Your calves, lungs and arms. You could tell your pace was beginning to slow down as the rival swimmer began pulling ahead.
NO! Come on y/n come on... Go against the waves and go beyond your limit!!!!
Feeling like you had been given some kind of healing power you began to quicken your pace. You reach your hand out to touch the other end of the pool, however, the rival swimmer did so as well. As your head broke the surface of the water, you look up at the scoreboard and see Dimitrescu University in the first place spot. You and your team cheers as Bela comes running over to you to help you out of the water. Once you place your right foot onto the solid ground you wince in pain. Bela was the only one who noticed you falling onto your knees. She picks you up and has you put half of your weight onto her.
"I think I overdid it on that last stretch," you groan in pain
Your family comes running over to you as Bela transfers you over in their care. Your mother puts your swim jacket around you she begins taking you to the locker room to get changed.
"Heisenberg you idiot," Dean Dimitrescu walks up to him, "You did this on purpose to get one of my girls to injure themselves-"
"That kid over did her swimming technique, but you did win right?" He asks, "So you have nothing to complain about."
He walks over to his female division swim team.
You tell Bela you’d meet her at the restaurant after your trip to the doctor’s office and she’d give you the details and directions.
"Is it serious doc?" You ask, groaning in pain, trying to stretch out your injured calf gently
"It’s not severe thankfully," he says, “However, I’d suggest you use a calf brace for the next couple of weeks. You shouldn’t swim until after two weeks.”
You sigh...
Two weeks huh? I don’t know if that’s worse or not...
When the doctor had discharged you from his office your parents stop by a convenient store to get you that calf brace.
When you came through the doors of the restaurant after following Bela’s address she had given you, your team turns to you and applauds you, noticing Dean Dimitrescu and Bela’s sisters with the team as well. The three were, too, applauding for you. Bela immediately stands up to help your limping body and into a chair right next to her.
“Quite the stunt you pulled miss y/l/n,” Dean Dimitrescu, “How are you feeling?”
“Better than after the meet Dean Dimitrescu,” You say, “Thank you.”
“Bela’s told us so much about you,” She adds
“Is that so?” You ask, looking at Bela, who was clearly blushing
“I’m starting to think Bela will finally leave her deadbeat boyfriend,” Daniela teases
Cassandra elbows Daniela in the side and Daniela winces in pain.
“Oh- I uhhh I wouldn’t want to intrude on their relationship,” You lie, “Bela sure looks happy with him. He’s pretty lucky himself. Speaking of which, where is he?”
“Ditched Bela for the boys,” Daniela says
Cassandra again elbows Daniela in the side.
“Ow! It’s true,” Daniela groans
“Well, let’s forget about him,” One of the team member says, raising her glass
“We celebrate us tonight,” another team member says
“Cheers to that,” You say
“Cheers to y/n and her sweet victory today,” Bela adds
You look at Bela and smile at her, feeling your cheeks slightly heat up. Everyone applauds you once more.
“So y/n how long have you’ve been swimming?” Daniela asks
“Pretty much when I was 5 when I went to the beach for the first time,” You say, “I felt the current of the water and somehow, I knew swimming was it for me.”
“What was your style back in high school?” Cassandra asks, with her head down
“I specialize in Freestyle and-”
“’I only swim free’ is what she says,” Bela exaggerates
You look at her, slightly a mix of amusement and unamusement written across your face you you continue drinking your water.
“I would sometimes do other strokes when I’m at the gym my parents run,” You add, “Most of the time I swim free...”
“See you only swim free,” Bela laughs
You lean into her shoulder as she places her head on top of yours.
After the tiny celebration outing, Bela offered you a ride back to your apartment. It was a silent ride though.
“You okay Bela?” You ask, breaking the silence
“I don’t know,” She sighs, “Lately he’s been ditching me for what he calls ‘time with the boys’... I feel like he’s no longer... Into me you know?”
“I wouldn’t” You sigh, trying to make light jokes, “But like our team says, you don’t need him. You’ve got them, your sisters, your mother... And me.”
“That’s true,” She smiles, “Hey, I’ll see you tomorrow okay?”
You nod and hop out of her car. You watch her drive off. You were worried for Bela. You really didn’t want to intrude on her relationship with her boyfriend, you have managed to put your little crush aside however, it never left. You just don’t let it get the best of you when you’re around her.
We’re falling... Oh lord... How much longer will it be until we hit the ground?...
You walk into your apartment and make a quick shower to shower off the chlorine from the meet.

Muddy Lore: Windclan
All right, ready for some actual hc’s? Let’s go:
Windclan cats sleep in dug burrows because I refuse to believe they sleep without shelter with the threat of rain, snow, foxes, badgers, hawks, dogs, etc. There are burrows for all the dens with at least two exits.
They change camps the most often because the tunnels run throughout all of their territory. As a result their camp is very difficult to find. If it is found, they will immediately move location. Sentries are stationed near entrances of the burrows throughout the day and night. Kits can’t leave the nursery burrow until they are a moon old. If you need to speak with the leader or medicine cat, you must set a time to meet at Fourtrees, you will never be taken to camp unless in the case of a rare emergency, even as a prisoner.
Tunnelers still exist. Tunneling is seen as a very high and important duty, as they are also the main cats who plan out and dig the burrows. Tunnelers are ripped.
They pay reverence towards the hare. It embodies the quick and cautious spirits of Windclanners. It is their belief that the hare taught the founder of the clan, Wind Chaser, how to tunnel. They don’t hunt hares, it’s not like they can catch them anyway. They are also highly superstitious. I’ll expand more on that in a separate post.
Think of themselves as the closest to Starclan due to their proximity to the moonstone and as such are the absolute strictest when it comes to the warrior code. Punishments against code breaking are harsh. They think Starclan themselves shine upon them. At least until they fail Shadowclan’s vibe check. It was rather humbling.
Their behavior is very calm and proper when dealing with other clans. They look down on excited or rambunctious behavior in the presence of other clans. They are straight to the point and don’t appreciate hopping around the bush.
Don’t ask for their opinions if you’re looking for something you want to hear. They are extremely honest, like to a blunt degree, and very observant. As a result they are one of the best (rivaling Shadowclan) at insults, especially backhanded compliments, because they’ll most likely be true. It is most dangerous to get a Shadowclan cat and Windclan cat to insult each other. They do prefer to keep their thoughts to themselves when dealing with other clans.
Height varies from average to tall, but Windclan cats are usually very thin and lanky, so they do not do much posturing or threatening. They attack with no warning. They only attack when in groups larger than the opposite clan’s and surprise is their best weapon. Will usually aim for the eyes, nose, and ears. They don’t usually grapple or wrestle, preferring quick strikes. Being ganged up on is a certainty. Teamwork is highly valued and Windclan is less individualistic than other clans.
However, you are unlikely to have a Windclanner attack first.. They almost always take a neutral stance in clan politics and strive to keep a cool head on their shoulders. They’re both the least likely to steal and the least likely to get caught stealing if they decide to. They are the smallest in size and sometimes numbers, war is more devastating for them.
In Windclan, when leaders are making a decision they hear the opinions of the whole clan. Whereas in say, Thunderclan, the leader has a council made up of senior warriors. Windclan believes that every cat holds some form of wisdom.
Unlike the other clans, kits will always know who sired and birthed them (yes this is different from who is their mother or father) and their origins. If you’re adopted, you’ll know. If you were orphaned, you’ll know. Your family history is never kept secret, unless your parent is really good at hiding things from the clan. Parents show much pride towards their kits and always make the effort to build a strong relationship with them. If you are somehow close friends with a Windclanner, you will know their parent(s).
Despite their seriousness, Windclan can be shockingly playful in camp and their own territory. They have a lot of energy. To show this playful side means they have much trust in you. They can jump considerable heights and have excellent paw-to-eye coordination and are good at thinking on the fly.
“Board games” exist, as do holidays, sports, and dance. I’ll expand on these in a different post along with their superstitions.

ILLEGIBLE’S TOTALLY SUBJECTIVE FAVORITE EORZEA COLLECTION DESIGNS: FEMALE
I’ve mentioned in the past, the main thing that made me start playing FFXIV properly was seeing people’s character designs. I’m still honestly blown away by the creativity and range of approaches people bring to this game, so I’ve decided to be an absolute madwoman and break my favorites into subcategories to share with anyone curious.
And to be clear. I’m not going to do something so broad as “oh top ten in-general :3″ because that would be sensible.
No, I’m going to do it for all the current combat jobs. And all the current races. And different genders within the races and combat jobs as things stand. And I’m going to make a face-focus subcategory. And there are gonna be LOTS.
Because I seriously cannot understate how inspired I’ve been by this community, and after however many years I just feel the need to vomit some incredible visuals I’ve encountered at you guys lol.
NOTE: In an abundance of caution, I want to stress this list isn’t a value judgment on anyone but a fragment of things that blew me personally away. Looking at the DRK sections it will be immediately clear that I Illegible really like that edgy dark knight aesthetic lmao, but there are plenty of non-edgy dark knights that I also love to bits. Other people might not like edgy dark knights.
Due to a combination of size and search constraints plus trying to keep gear somewhat varied, these glamours are just what wound up on this particular list of mine. I could make another list one day. Other people can make lists too that are totally different.
Also, I was originally going to make a single post that went over male and female options presented in the character creator but straight up tumblr wouldn’t let me save because it got too big. You can see the male character post here.
Without further ado, let us begin.

[some of these sketches are over a month old but i had to get across my drawings for magician!adachi and hierophant!adachi’s shadows and personas (not for canon harlequin, though, that will come when i feel like it :) )
check under the cut for chironnupu, okuninushi, and Lore.]
Magician!Arcana Swap Verse:
For reference, here’s what Magician!Adachi and the human shadow form of him look like in this verse.
so for this verse, adachi’s persona is Chironnupu, though part of his shadow’s design is inspired by a kitsune’s human disguise. The closer Adachi gets to shouting that his shadow isn’t him, the more fox-like the shadow becomes in appearance - until it reveals its true form, as seen on the right. The form itself is kinda blocky and looks kinda low render, adlsjdl. the biggest things are the big, flashy tricks it pulls, the disconnected body parts, and the object head - a die with different faces on them, and it randomly spins to portray a different emotion and causes a different status effect on whoever’s fighting it.
What Adachi’s battling in terms of his shadow in this verse is finally taking the blame for his lack of success, dealing with his lack of cooperation and bitterness, and making sure he doesn’t remain lazy and takes charge of his career (Or, uh, the magician card reversed).
As for Chironnupu, Adachi’s persona, he’s much more fluid in design, though parts are still disconnected from each other. Both Adachi’s hoodie and the card inside his persona’s hat are the two of clubs, a card meaning in tarot of someone who needs to learn the art of cooperation, btw.
His persona juggles fireballs, and Adachi can too, if he wants to be a showoff. Chironnupu has one fire move, one wind move and one move that’s basically a dice roll - it’s a different elemental move or health regain move depending on what the dice lands on. He eventually gets Megidola ofc. Adachi himself fights with magic tricks - fake swords, ropes, strings, and fireworks. He also kicks if he doesn’t have a weapon bc.. dancer? (tap shoes + sweatpants, king shit) he definitely can pickpocket shadows too.
Hierophant!Arcana Swap Verse:
For a refresher, here’s a visual reference on what Adachi looks like in this verse.
Hierophant!Adachi’s struggles are very raw for when he first encounters his shadow - he’s just now dealing with coping with the near loss and hospitalization of his daughter, not to mention his health complications from his car accident. He’s also just found out that his subordinate, the man that he teased in order to push him to do better, hated him and his family so much that not only did he kill two women, he tried to kill his daughter, too. The true culprit was under his nose the entire time.
Most of his shadow confrontation is the reverse of canon Dojima’s social link: it deals with adachi’s feelings that, if he had prioritized his work instead of his family, he could have found the culprit sooner and naoto wouldn’t ever have been in danger. For this reason, he sees himself as the real killer, since he feels entirely responsible for the case’s outcome and the number of people kidnapped, hurt, and killed, especially Naoto, since it’s his job to protect her as her parent, and he failed.
This manifests his shadow as a crooked cop that’s glad to have played the system - not every cop joins the force to be an “agent of justice”, right? He sees himself as the killer, and his shadow is proud of it. His police badge displays Naoto’s death date and it’s the number he guesses when he gambles. Lots of western mafia vibes.
Okuninushi and Sukuna Hikona are connected in a lot of ways, so of course I had to make him Adachi’s persona. The main story Okuninushi is associated with is the Hare of Inaba, where he takes pity on a hurt and abused rabbit and uses the fluff from cattails to heal itself.Sometimes the hare reveals itself to be Sukuna Hikona, so Liz and I went ham on making the rabbit represent Naoto for Adadchi (hence why his shadow carries a lucky rabbit’s foot bc. reversed. and naoto’s dead :). .
While his shadow form represents his scars and death, his persona represents healing and life, as well as the sense of duty and integrity he has to protect justice - both in his career and with naoto. His persona fights with a training sword while Adachi has a gun, and uses nuclear and electric attacks. The rabbit that accompanies Okuninushi looks oddly like the first stuffed toy Adachi ever bought his daughter... and it’s a real rabbit that follows his persona everywhere. It helps with lower-level shadows.
Bonus Shadow Justice!Naoto bc liz and i will never be over this fucking verse
