Hii, so I saw you take requests soo I guess here is one🫶🏻: lee know x fem reader who is a roommate of a former/or still employed coworker from jyp (like make ip artist or stylist) and the friend is still in touch with skz and they are really good friends still and reader gets to meet Minho and rest and Minho is like really enchanted (not that obvious, but visible to the members) and wants to know more about reader. Idk they hang out as a group a few times and he is like trying to leave hints that he likes her but she doesn‘t get it and is oblivious (even though she totally has a crush on him too…which he knows) so he gets like frustrated and asks her out eventually after a group activity and she is like…mE?! You could ask everyone and you ask ME?? Hahahah idk and then it‘s like a cute date or something…
Well I hope this sounds great, if not that is fine too, thanks for taking req and have a wonderful dayyy💕

♫₊˚.🎧 ✩。☕ 🤎 HONEY SATURDAY NIGHT - Minho Imagine !
Your best friend and roommate was a sunny and friendly person, unlike you, and managed to maintain a firm friendship for years. It was amazing how she didn't care how long she hadn't seen a person, especially one she didn't like, she still managed to sneak into everyone's heart and make them love her, you were incredulous to see how many people she knew and asked out to dinner. You hadn't had that many friends since kindergarten, so much so that your only friend now was actually your flatmate, who was working and older than you while you were still a college student. You used to go out together in your spare time and watch her stop every ten steps and talk to everyone - hallucinating.
You could somehow understand her, as she had worked for many years at one of the biggest music companies: JYP Entertainment. And it was quite unexpected when one day you found her at the foot of your bed begging you to go to a group gathering with her. As fate would have it, it was with one of the most famous and successful bands: Stray Kids. You knew the band well - who didn't? Heejin had been their stylist and hairdresser for years, apparently enough to form a nice friendship bond that she wanted to pull you into. But she was well aware of your interactions on a social level. And you didn't want new friends, even if they were eight Adonis. Too bad no one could really resist Heejin. "Please, Y/N, I haven't seen them for a long time, they were so nice to ask me to come and invite a friend of mine because they were afraid I would feel uncomfortable since they are all male," she said with folded hands, begging you for the umpteenth time. "But look at you, how considerable! Too bad I don't care, and besides, if there are two of us, it won't change much," you told her, throwing a pillow at her.
"I'll buy you the latest Vivienne Westwood that you like so much if you go out with us." But unfortunately, as you had said, it was impossible to say no. Especially to a proposal like that, especially when you collected fashion items and your favourite was Vivienne herself. And so you had found yourself that Wednesday night preparing for this night out. Heejin had checked your wardrobe because, according to her, you had to be perfect in the eyes of the boys. You wondered why, especially since your best friend seemed to be planning a combo date. You looked like one of those debutantes who had to make a good impression on her way into society. She had bought you a little white St Gallen lace dress with balloon sleeves, paired with Camperos boots and a black leather jacket, and carried your usual handbag.
Standing in front of what looked like eight Adonis, you were struck by how much better they looked in person. But one in particular was particularly attractive and interesting in your eyes, even if he was very taciturn compared to the others - yes, these guys were always fooling around. What you did not know was that this same man was so enchanted by your beauty that he had to have his companions call out to him several times because he was staring at you too much. Strangely enough, you hadn't even tried too hard to interact with them, they had made you feel comfortable right away, and their sweetness towards you was endless, so much so that you struck up a friendship with Seungmin and Felix right away - the two of them were a strange duo, so sweet but almost devilish, especially Seungmin, who was always throwing strange spicy mixtures at Chan that he almost had to be beaten. What you did expect, however, was to become Minho's favourite prey. The way his friends described him, he was a real devil with feline features - more like a panther than a cat.
All this in an evening that lasted eight hours.
What you didn't expect was that you wouldn't go out with them several times and get on well with them, but that you would fall in love with Lee Minho. Yes, because after going out with them so many times in the last two months, you had become quite interested in the grey-haired guy and destiny wanted you to be his favourite prey. You were very close and he took every opportunity to tease you. Maybe that was what made you crazy about him. Not knowing that it was totally reciprocated from day one. Minho had a crush on you. Seriously - maybe you were a bit stupid - but you didn't take any of the hints he left you every time you went out with your friends. And he would say things about it, take advantage of every situation to sign with you, and you were the only one who didn't get it at all. He, on the other hand, was so curious that he always found a way to find out something new about you.
"Please Hyung invite her out, I can't stand all this tension every time we go out," Jeongin complained with a pout on his face. Minho laughed. "Seriously, how could she not see that you have a crush on her? Hannie figured it out too," Hyunjin said, clutching the arm of his best friend who made a fake offended face - he knew it was the truth. "Everything has its time guys, I want to tease her some more," the boy said, earning a dirty look from the rest of the group. On the other side, you lay despondently on your bed with your best friend, who was now tired of hearing your complaints about him. "But why don't you stop feeling sorry for yourself and just tell him that you like him like normal people do," Heejin said to you. But you were not normal and you were too afraid of the rejection that was so obvious in your eyes. "I'd ruin our friendship and therefore the group," you said, sinking your head into the pillow.
"I don't give a shit, I can't bear to see you in a state of self-pity. You're pathetic. And move that ass, we have to go out with the boys tonight" from bad to worse, you thought. Too bad you hadn't imagined that tonight, because of a stupid game suggested by Felix - who did everything in his power to get you and Minho together - you would find yourself locked in a room with Minho himself staring at you with his mega-brown eyes. "So, your idea is to keep silent and stare at me, or?" he asked you, making himself comfortable on the bed. You frowned at him and flanked him on the bed. Maybe Heejin was right and you needed to talk to him, this was a good opportunity. "Listen, I need to tell you something," you started and got his attention. He had his usual grin on his face, that slapping expression.
"Me too, will you go out with me?" her brain went into overdrive. What had he just said? You almost couldn't believe your ears. Was it a joke? It had to be. "So?" he asked again, expecting an answer. "Are you serious? I mean, you want to ask me out, just the two of us - a date?" you asked, still in shock. "Do you see anyone else in this room by any chance?" he asked in his usual sarcastic tone. "Really?" you asked again. "Really, Y/N," he said, giving you a shove. "Sure...I just wanted to tell you that...in short, I like you," you lowered your head. He raised it with his forefinger, then planted his lips on yours in a kiss that made your head spin. "Finally, I thought you'd never tell me," he chuckled. "What? You knew?" you asked in shock - what a fool you had been. "Yes, I just thought you'd be more awake, that you wouldn't notice my signals," she laughed, "Oh come on, was he teasing you? "Signals?" "Yes, signals, I've liked you for two months."
You really had been an idiot.
Your crush had always been sending you signals and you hadn't been able to pick them up - who knows how long you would have been together if you had... .... Now it's time to redeem yourself. At least as much as you can. "Ah, um. Well, you know, I'm looking forward to going out with you," you said shyly to your boyfriend? You still didn't know what you were. "Perfect, that's pretty much reciprocated. I'll pick you up on Saturday and we'll go camping for our first official date. Make sure you bring everything. I'll be there around ten in the morning. And to clarify your thoughts I have read so far...yes, you are my girlfriend now," he said, stealing another kiss from you and then sneering back at your friends. When Heejin saw you he knew immediately what had just happened and you laughed heartily.
The evening, like the week, flew by and you and Minho were in his sports car, ready to go camping. His hand was caressing your bare thigh and your mind was flickering all over the place. He was singing along to the songs on the radio and you just looked at him and smiled, thinking how lucky you were to have a man like that by your side. Who wouldn't want a Lee Minho to be their boyfriend - this boy was a dream on earth. When he turned to look at you, you always blushed like an idiot because he would catch you, but it was impossible not to, given the look he gave you every time. When you arrived at the campsite you smiled like a fool, you looked like you were on your honeymoon. He took you like a bride and carried you inside, into the bedroom of your tent. You pulled him to you, kissed him gently and nibbled on his lower lip, which turned cherry red each time.
"Princess, I have to get the things in the car, the food is in there too, you don't want it to go bad, do you?" he tickled you and then walked away to arrange your things in the tent, as if he was used to all this, and from there your mind began to wander a little too much. You imagined what he was like as a husband, surely perfect as he cooked for you or entertained your children. At that thought you couldn't help but smile and think what it would be like to make love to him day and night, to feel him close to your body - skin against skin, cold against heat. "You know I love coming here, I always come here when I want to be alone and I'm too stressed. But today I'm sharing it with you, because you're my favourite person," he chuckled, hugging you, throwing himself on top of you. "More than Jisung?" you giggled, knowing what a soft spot Minho had for that little squirrel - after all, everyone had a soft spot for Jisung, that guy was sweetness personified as well as being extremely adorable. "I should think about it," he said laughing, and you pretended to be offended and threw a pillow over him, straddling him and filling him with kisses.
"You're beautiful, do you know that?" he smiled, then began to kiss your neck slowly, but there was no malice in it. "Never as much as you, mister," you smiled, ruffling his hair - Minho was gorgeous, you could feel the warmth emanating from his body as it clung to yours in a gentle embrace. You had never been good at relationships, nor had you had ideal partners, but it was as if all the forces of nature had been concentrated to give you Minho. The boy had just the right amount of sweetness, sympathy and kindness, and you could go on like that for a long time. The only thing that was serious and overwhelming about him was his beauty, Minho seemed to have been sculpted by the gods.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked, waking you from the trance-like state you had fallen into. "I was thinking about you, I'm wondering if this isn't all a dream, ready to disappear when I open my eyes," you confided, seeing him staring at you as if thinking about something. "I have a way of letting you know it's real, sit down and wait for me here," he told you, disappearing from the tent and returning with a small bag. "Open it, it's for you," he said as he stood next to you. You opened the bag and then your smile widened as the gift appeared before your eyes, you looked at it almost in disbelief. "It's the same as my bracelet, I wanted to give you something special that we could share together," he smiled, you were almost speechless and motioned for him to help you put on a small necklace with a blue pendant, it was a lapis lazuli. "It's wonderful!" you cried and then catapulted yourself onto him and began to plant sweet kisses on his lips.
Kisses that became deeper, more mischievous. You wanted to make love to him all day long.
This did not displease the older man, who worshipped your body by filling it with kisses and caresses, you only stopped to eat and to feel Minho's hands on your naked skin had driven you as crazy as your hands on his chest had driven him crazy. It was late in the evening by the time you really stopped, too tired and sticky - you took a bath before going to bed. The older's hands ran through your wet locks as you listened to his heartbeat through his chest.
"I love you."
"I love you too."

Mafia AU - A Sunny Family Name
I was thinking about the Mafia AU and I remembered a detail that slipped my mind in my most recent posts for it. In the SunnyTime Town AU, and in the trading cards for the SunnyTime Crew Show, Jack's parents actually have surnames. Heck, they even have an entire family tree!
Tumblr media
Credit to Sauce for their amazing art and ideas as always. Why not consider dropping them a kind word or two? Also, consider supporting them and the rest of the SnaccPop Studios team by signing up for their patreon. Just remember not to share anything privately posted.
Since the SunnyTime Town AU and its clowns play important roles in the Mafia AU, it's only right that I use the proper family name. The Blouins are one of the biggest crime boss families in St. Valen's, with a long and shady history. Jack Blouin is the current head of both their legitimate business and their less than shady dealings.
Marceau Blouin has been in the business of committing international crimes for a long time. He has quite a few rumors about him, but few dare to speak badly of him.
Lucy Connolly, who still uses her maiden name, is very well known in the business world for her bubbly and friendly personality. She is the brains behind their family friendly front facing business. Between her and Marceau, they practically took over the city.
While the parents have stepped back from being in charge, Lucy and Marceau do help out from time to time. You never truly leave the family after all.
Speaking of family members, Caleb Connolly, the estranged brother of Lucy, tries to keep his distance from his sister after he realized just how deep and dark this new life she built for herself with Marceau was. She used to be such a good girl, and he always tried to protect her, keep her from getting into trouble and straying down the wrong path
Where did it all go so wrong?

Could you make Yandere Platonic Nemona?
Sure! I hope you enjoy the yandere rival :) Sorry for the long wait! Tried to keep it in character, so don't expect random murder... she just isn't the type.
Yandere! Platonic! Nemona
Pairing: Platonic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Clingy behavior, Delusional behavior, Stalking, Jealousy, Subtle threats, Subtle yandere behavior, She really is tame and just clingy/competitive, Possible gaslighting, Dubious companionship.
Tumblr media
Nemona is a very energetic and sunny person.
She would start as a guide to you like she does in the game.
Nemona's intentions towards her obsession are probably the same ones she has towards the player in Scarlet and Violet.
She wants to model you into a rival of her level and help each other improve.
She views your rivalry as something fun, she does it because she cares.
She wants to see you both succeed.
However, as this is a yandere concept, it appears she takes such a goal too far.
Nemona always seems to be where you are and is very insistent on making you two rivals, regardless of what you think on the matter.
She never seems to take 'No' for an answer.
It's actually a bit unnerving sometimes when she somehow manages to guess the next Gym you're going to.
... is she guessing?
Nemona just always seems so happy and aloof that it's hard to suspect her of anything bad or malicious.
If she did have a darker side, she certainly knows how to hide it.
When you're unaware, Nemona probably stalks you and tries to predict and set up meetings with you.
Oh she's just in this town by pure coincidence.
Anyways... Pokemon battle?
As this is platonic, her obsessive behavior is just because she wants to try and make you her perfect rival.
She doesn't mind too much if you have other friends as long as she's your rival.
Hopefully even your only rival....
I can't see her as violent, just overly obsessive over the idea of you two helping one another prove.
Others slowly begin to see the red flags before you do.
To you, Nemona just seems to be your friend who wants to make a friendly rivalry with you.
Although... maybe someone else alerts you to her darker behavior?
Perhaps you have a friend or another friendly rival who notices how Nemona clings around you.
When you're with her, she often hugs you or has a hand on your arm.
For a rival she's awfully affectionate.
That or when you're away, she's watching you, following you, stalking your socials to figure out where you may go next.
Nemona is never far from you.
Don't you find it a little weird that she seems to be where you are at all times?
When you start to suspect such behavior, Nemona would try to manipulate you into not trusting the person you heard it from.
She won't hurt them... She isn't that type of person!
Threats, however... They may come out with a small smile so they'll leave you alone.
Perhaps they're just jealous of what you have.
Maybe they just don't like her.
But... you like her, don't you?
Then you should trust her!
She's definitely subtle and not very volatile in the slightest.
Even when jealous she hides it or clings to you more.
She's persistent and clingy, but never violent.
Nemona promises that she's merely trying to help you improve.
You'll see you need her... after all, you aren't getting rid of your biggest rival, are you?
She won't let you go that easily... you're her friend and rival... and she plans to be your one and only rival in your journey no matter what.
"What do you mean I've been following you? I'm not! I was just... checking out the shops... want to come with me!? You might as well since you're here now!"

The Only One - A Poe Dameron Story
Episode 1
Tumblr media
Fic Masterlist || My Masterlist next->
Overall Fic Summary: You are a computer technician, relatively new to the Resistance. Despite your sunny demeanor, the Resistance is your last hope. Orphaned and homeless, you hide a secret you hope no one will ever discover, because if they did, you would be truly alone, with no place even in a band of rebels.
Pairing: Poe Dameron x female original character. Fic is written in second person, but the female "you" has a name; OC is neurodivergent* (see disclaimer at the bottom of this post)
Word Count: 1.7k
There will be some other oc's too because I don't feel like messing up Jess and Snap, along with familiar faces like Leia.
Overall fic content: Acquaintances to friends to lovers, slow-ish burn, fluff at first, angst later. The fic will get a little darker later, but won't go way off the rails from the tone of the first chapter.
Overall fic warnings: ableism, bullying, mentions of death, some violence though not pervasive throughout, past trauma, some cursing, there will be intimacy, but not terribly explicit.
Tumblr media
NOW...
When Poe Dameron set his mind to something, there was no stopping him. Most people knew this about him, and found his tenacity somehow endearing. Or at least useful as a Resistance commander.
This quality of his was sometimes applied to personal relationships as well. When Poe wanted something...or someone, he was typically pretty determined to win them over, or fall flat on his face trying.
The thing of it was, he rarely had to try very hard. His boyish charm, easy good looks and innate charisma only heightened the appeal of his natural leadership and magnetic personality.
As if the deck wasn't stacked in Commander Dameron's favor enough, he was actually good at everything. Despite his slightly shorter stature, he was the fastest, the most energetic, the hardest worker, the first to finish anything, and hands down, the absolute best pilot most members of the Resistance had ever seen.
To top it off, he was just a nice guy. Friendly, witty - he had a way of making everyone feel like they belonged, as if they mattered not only to the Resistance, but to him personally. He never forgot a face, or a name.
Everyone wanted to be his friend, to have his approval or attention, and most people wouldn't have minded more than that. They either wanted to hang out with him, sleep with him, or at least learn something from him.
Which is why nearly every person on base found themselves befuddled when he ordered a round of drinks, boasting about his date...
...with you.
"Her?" Dane, a lieutenant under his command, and one of his closest friends, questioned.
Poe's dark eyebrows knit together in confusion. "Yes, her."
Dane's skeptical gaze landed on his partner, the two of them exchanging curious glances.
"You're serious," Dane went on, running his hand over his bluish-grey chin. "The computer tech girl who's always around the hangar, talking all the time."
"Dane, come on - "
"All. The time," Dane continued, ignoring his best friend. "I swear, you get her started on circuitry or - or - "
Poe silenced him with a glare.
"My point is...you like to talk, Poe. You really do."
Knocking back the end of his drink, Poe rolled his eyes. "And?"
"And...I don't think you'll get in your daily quota of words if you get this girl started on...basically any topic."
"He's right, Poe," Dane's partner Jalen nodded. "She hyper-fixates."
"So?" Poe shot back.
"So once she gets started, you'll never hear the end of it," Dane supplied, signaling to the server for another round.
"Will I ever hear the end of this?" Poe ground out, pushing his chair back and standing up.
"Come on, I'm ordering another round," Dane complained, motioning for his best friend to sit back down. "I'm just trying to save you some trouble."
"Mm, how's that?" Poe groaned. "Because I have training first thing in the morning."
"Just one more drink," Dane pleaded, "And if I can't change your mind about Miss Awkward, then - "
"Miss Awkward?" Poe questioned, leaning back down over the table, but refusing to sit.
"Yes! She is totally awkward. And kind of rude."
Poe rolled his eyes again, straightening back up. "She's not rude. She's...sweet."
Dane almost spit out his drink, once again, side-eyeing his partner. "Sweet? Maybe try Lira in the med bay. I bet she's real sweet, if that's what you're looking for."
"It's not," Poe shrugged. Besides, he already had a...thing with Lira-in-the-med-bay. She was gorgeous, sure, but not sweet. "Look, I have long day tomorrow, ending with a date," he concluded, tiredly. "So I'll leave you to make your judgments."
Despite the protests of Dane and Jalen, Poe trekked back to his room, only a little annoyed by those two. Dane generally meant well, but his opinions often landed on the judgmental side. He should have known that Dane would make assumptions about you - most people did.
You were chatty - Dane wasn't wrong about that. And you did, from time to time, have a tendency to rub people the wrong way. In fact, Poe, in small part, did ask you out one day just to get you to stop talking.
He chuckled to himself, remembering the first time he met you.
Tumblr media
THEN...
You were fiddling around with the computer system of his beloved X-wing and he mistook you for a mechanic. Without thinking to introduce himself, he rattled off few things wrong with his baby, expecting the typical, 'Sure thing, Commander Dameron.'
Instead, your adorable head popped out of his cockpit, face scrunched in confusion. Your wide eyes blinked rapidly, hair piled up in twin buns on top of your head.
"That's not my job. You might want to try a mechanic," you bluntly stated, your mouth already running away with you before you could stop to focus on who was addressing you.
Nodding his head slowly, Poe regarded you with a smirk on his face. "I'll take that into consideration." He started the climb the ladder up the side of his ship so he could have a proper conversation with you. As he did, he quickly found out you needed no invitation at all to start talking.
"Good. Because I'm not one," you forged ahead, the way you were prone to do. "A mechanic, I mean. I'm a computer tech, so I only work on computers. I mean, that's what computer techs do, so it would only make sense that I would fix your computer and not all those other problems you just listed to me without knowing who I am, or what I do. Which, by the way, that list of problems sounded pretty long - I don't really think our best pilot should be flying around in a ship that - "
"You think I'm our best pilot?" Poe questioned, hands resting on his hips as he chuckled in amusement.
"Of course," you nodded quickly, standing up to your full height in the cockpit. It was then that Poe really got a good look at you. Aside from the cute buns on top of your head, a row of silver earrings lined one ear, top to bottom. You wore a standard issue Resistance uniform (or the best the ragtag Resistance could muster these days) in all its drab browns, and on your back, perched a light grey backpack.
While he took in your appearance, you were already off and running, explaining something to him about his ship's targeting system.
"...because then you would try to fire on the First Order and might end up shooting half the fleet out of the sky!" You concluded with a boisterous laugh that ended with a little snort.
Narrowing his eyes, Poe extended his hand, a smile of intrigue tugging at the corner of his mouth. "I'm not sure how I've missed meeting you. I'm Poe Dameron."
You completely forgot to shake his hand. You didn't really touch people. It was kind of gross and personal. Besides, you were a little dirty from a long day of work that may as well have been mechanical, despite your protests that you were only a technician.
"Of course you're Poe Dameron," you shrugged, ignoring his extended hand, reaching, instead for the straps of your mini backpack that dropped down to about waist level. Poe would come to find this was a soothing habit of yours. You would tug and twirl your backpack straps so often that the ends frayed.
"Everyone knows who you are, Poe," you forged ahead, realizing your blunder in addressing your superior (a rare realization for you). "I mean - Commander Poe. I mean Dameron. Commander Dameron."
Blowing out a quick breath, you shrugged helplessly. "Sorry, I'm new here, so I don't always call everyone the right thing, and I don't have a title myself. I'm just Elia, so, you know, that's easy to remember...just Elia."
Poe actually found himself laughing, returning his hand to his side since you clearly had no intention of shaking it. "It's nice to meet you, Just Elia," he teased...but his smile faded a little when he noticed you didn't take his meaning.
"Oh, it's not 'Just Elia', it's only Elia," you corrected, talking demonstratively with your hands. "Well, not 'Only Elia' - I mean, my name is Elia by itself. I'm Elia."
Grinning, Poe nodded. "Yeah, I got that. Elia. It's a pleasure."
"Thanks," you affirmed, brushing a loose strand of hair out of your eyes. No matter how tightly you tucked your hair buns every morning, several strands always worked their way loose throughout the day, especially when you were fixing computers on ships.
"So...what's going on with my ship? Is she gonna be ready for the next mission?" Poe questioned...
...and experienced his first complete informational download from your mouth to his ears. You explained to him, in excruciating detail, every facet of what had gone wrong with his computer system, including the targeting system. He tried his best to keep up, but you lost him after a while.
Still, it amused him that another being in this Resistance could probably out-talk him. Poe was always chatting with one person or another, being a lively conversationalist and friends with everyone, so in a way, it was...nice to listen.
"I think..." he slowly nodded, playfully stroking his chin as if deep in thought, "I'm pretty sure you lost me seven paragraphs ago. But thanks for fixing her."
"It's okay," you shrugged, oblivious to a comment that many others might have taken as an insult. "Not many people understand computers the way I do. You're smart at other things, I bet. Like flying, right? I've seen you do some crazy stuff."
"Are you calling me computer dumb?" Poe attempted another joke, but once again, you missed his meaning. Sometimes jokes did that - flew right by you, because you were so literal.
"I don't know, are you computer dumb?" You challenged, still fidgeting with something or other down in the cockpit. Craning your neck back around to see him, you grinned. "Most people are."
Poe left that first encounter with you a little weary, mildly bored, and terribly intrigued. He found you a little odd, but extremely adorable. Something about your twin hair buns, little backpack, intelligence and bluntness piqued his interest. Although he couldn't honestly say he was interested in a date from day one. That came later.

I understand that the term "neurodivergent" or "neurodiverse" is incredibly broad, I am leaving it up to each reader to fill in whatever gaps they wish. I am speaking from experience here. In the case of this story, I think you'll see some of the OC's habits/traits pretty quickly: info-dumping, rambling, speaking bluntly, missing social cues, being literal/unable to discern sarcasm, or sometimes unable to tell if someone is joking. Fidgeting, having a slight aversion to touch and certain textures. Extremely intelligent. If this characterization is offensive to anyone, I apologize. I am happy to hear your thoughts on it.

hi!! i have a request if that’s cool :) i don’t want to make you uncomfortable at all so feel free to ignore me! my whole idea is honestly just a bunny girl x iida, like we’re talking fuzzy ankles and sort of calves that look like the cutest leg warmers ever!! ears n a little cottontail!! she’s strong and fast and just <333 and she’d be a bit timid but very friendly!! like she’s not naive, she’s rightfully anxious of the world but perhaps a sweetheart regardless because i think he could use some cautious optimism :) and i just want them to dote on each other and be happy and in love idk </3 maybe her shyly pining after him a bit and him making the first move?? (i’m projecting i fear) ((im not brave enough to even send this out of anon))
i hope you have an absolutely lovely day even if this prompt isn’t your thing and i adore your writing!!
Bunny Girl
Tenya Iida x Rabbit!Female!Reader Summary: Tenya Kids got the hots for a strong bunny girl!
★☽A/N: NO ONE HAS EVER SAID THEY ADORE MY WRITING. AWHHABHDJAVHS THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I haven't seen a good prompt in a while. I love, love, love your prompt! I hope this piece is to your liking <33
Contents: TOTAL FLUFF <33
Tumblr media
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈•゚。
During class 1A’s second year, a new student was transferred from Shiketsu. She was so similar to Mirko! She had calves for feet and fluff like leg warmers! She also had expressive long bunny ears which you could just stay forever! And a cute fluff ball for a tail! Despite her cute appearance, she is fierce and strong in battle! She was a much cuter version of Mirko but had the same personality as the hero.
When she first joined, she was immediately bombarded with questions! Like, “Are those leg warmers or are they real?” , “Can I touch your ears?” , “Do your ears move according to your emotions?” And all kinds of questions, even disturbing ones from a certain purple haired boy.. But she was still well-respected by her peers!
Especially a certain boy~ Tenya Iida always respected Y/N, maybe even admired her for her strength. He was amazed by her impressive agility and battle knowledge. She soon became close with the rich boy. She told him how she interned with Mirko during her first year, back in Shiketsu. He was impressed she was able to do an internship with a well-known pro hero.
Despite her strong personality in battle, she was often shy and quite introverted. She didn’t talk much to other students and mainly spoke to her classmates in Class A. She didn’t like to talk with others because of the amount of anxiety, thinking about how they would think of her. Whenever she needed changes in her costume, she would always get flustered and shy whenever Hatsume started talking a lot to her.
She would actually go behind Iida whenever a student went up to her to talk. Iida found this cute but still encouraged her to open up to others. (In other words, he lectured her about confidence). The girl never really paid too much attention towards his lectures and his hand chops. She actually found it funny and endearing.
Despite Y/N’s shy personality, she was still a friendly sweetheart! If her classmates had to pick who to do a project with, she was the first pick. Actually, during her first project with Class A, everyone quickly turned to her. She was crowded with everyone, begging for her to be partners with her. Of course, she ended up being partners with Iida who was the only one who didn’t beg her to be his project partner.
Of course, Y/N liked him a lot! He was the only boy she felt comfortable with. He just felt… safe to be around. She was always scared to make the first move. But she always tried her best to be close with him, to get to know him more. And each day, she managed to fall in love with him more, more, and more.
Turns out, a certain boy felt the same as her. And he had planned to make the first move.
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈•゚。
It was a sunny, yet windy day. Tenya managed to muster up the courage to ask her to meet him at a garden he knew she liked. She, of course, said yes to him and did what he asked. She dressed up in a cute outfit, her rabbit features complementing her outfit.
She wondered why he wanted her to wear something cute. Perhaps she was going to get asked out?! She was a good deductor, after all. She'll admit, she actually likes the boy. She was comfortable with him, more than anyone she knows in her school.  She had these thoughts as she walked to the garden.
She admired the flowers she saw along the way to the exact spot Iida told her to meet him. She eventually made it and saw the flowers in his hands. It was her favorite flowers, they looked lovely in ribbons and paper it was wrapped with. She couldn’t help but blush with excitement.
“Tenya! How lovely!” She chuckled, walking up to him and receiving the flowers. “You didn’t have to.” The boy shook his head, “No, I knew it was the appropriate thing to do for a beautiful girl like you.” Y/N chuckled at his last words, giggling after seeing his blushed face when he realized those words.
With a cough to compose himself, he straightened his posture. “Anyways, I would like to ask for your hand in love. I would like to give us a chance, if you will allow,” he confessed, helding a hand out to her with his opposite hand on his back. Y/N chuckled again at the cheesiness at the sight. But she found it cute, she found him cute as well.
“Of course.” She smiled a soft smile that made Tenya know he was right for trusting his guts.
。゚•┈୨♡୧┈•゚。
Now, have they kissed? Not yet! During the first months of their relationship, their PDA was mostly holding hands, hugging, and kissing (Not on the lips yet!). But they’re just such an adorable couple! “Couple goals!” is what Mina Ashido would always yell out whenever she sees them doing PDA
Y/N still hides behind Iida whenever she can’t handle talking to strangers. But it’s way more affectionate! Despite Tenya telling her that she should work on her confidence by talking to others, he still loves whenever she hides behind him, hugging his waist in a bear hug and covering her face on his back.
Now, if Y/N was a short girl then she can easily be covered by Tenya, easily hidden. But if Y/N is as tall as Tenya, her blushed face would be covered by Tenya’s shoulder. BUT if she’s way taller than Tenya then her face would be covered by his hair! Despite his hair being quite flat, she still gonna try to hide herself.
And when they first kissed, it was so adorable! She was the one who kissed him first. Tenya was so surprised when she first kissed him, before smiling brightly with blush on his face.
Tenya Iida, the Turbo Hero and Y/N L/N, the Bunny Hero are the best couple ever!

Notes I took from the Grimoire of Usami
If you didn't know, a danmaku fireworks festival takes place in this book and the human playable characters act as judges for the spellcards of various characters. This is the most amount of dialogue we get out of Sakuya and Youmu for a while.
There's a lot of characters that show up so I took hella notes. Big post.
Reimu takes her judging fairly seriously. I didn't expect her to be that critical instead of being laid-back. She's very biased on money/food type spellcards tho.
Marisa had to use a flashlight and Machine Gun Sparkinstead of the actual Master Spark to keep the audience safe. It is what it is.
Three Fairies of Lights teamed up and got a spellcard disqualified as you must be solo
Youmu is allergic to butterflies???
Lily White apparently gets stressed when it isn't spring.
Who was Kagerou aiming at for her first spellcard? Also she's good at acting feral...it fooled Sakuya at least.
YOU CAN EAT MINORIKO'S SPELLCARD LMAO
Sanae is the most focused judge. Everyone else gets plenty distracted.
Characters that cause actual fires pre-hijack: Sunny Milk & Narumi
In an extremely Yuyuko move, she convinced Youmu to judge in her stead since she "couldn't make it" and then showed up at the competition anyway. She probably just wanted Youmu to enjoy a day at a festival. (Of course Youmu gives her a 10/10)
Marisa is a big fan of Benben's spellcards.
Raiko and Murasa are shredded I am taking that as canonical fact.
Nazrin uses gold from the kappa in her spellcard and gets her points deducted (the kappa are the management behind this event).
Satori's "Brain Fingerprint" spellcard uses fear to determine where the explosions happen. So the explosions happened in different locations for each individual viewer. That's cool as hell.
Marisa's good at determining the actual technique that goes into a spellcard. Her insight is in good constrast to Reimu's harsh critiques.
Futo let people ride her boat hell yeah
Tenshi comes swooping in and almost ruined the whole thing with a dangerous spellcard. To be fair, she didn't know what was going on.
The damage control efforts are really fun. It's cool seeing other characters like Nitori, Murasa, and Kanako step in to help out.
Iku, Miko, and Shou all got 9s in the competition before it got hijacked. I'm not counting Suwako cause Sanae is biased. Miko won though, two of her spellcards got a 9.
Surprised to see Hina show up during the hijack. She usually seems so friendly and kind despite the kind of goddess she is. Maybe she's putting on an act as this hijack does fit very well with her theme of misfortune....heck she could be gathering misfortune from the audience so they dont get struck by stray bullets? Hmm, there's layers to her appearance here.
Murasa sinking Shinmyoumaru is very funny
The humans in the audience are actually mostly onboard with the dangerous hijack...probably because they don't need to actually dodge anything thanks to damage control efforts.
For a moment I thought Byakuren would not join in on the hijack, but she had complete faith in the playable cast to deflect her spellcard. How dangerously reasonable.
Seija's backward comments on everyone is great. She mostly just settles on insulting whoever is up though.
Is this Momiji's first line of dialogue? I like how they comment on her spellcard breaking the 4th wall.
Okina and Yukari also show up as hijack judges. I doubt Shinmyoumaru was able to contact the two of them herself. They must have invited themselves in once they knew what was happening. Heck, Okina even instigated the hijack plan with her own support without the inchling knowing.
Hecatia and Okina are implied to have met in person now. Okina even invited her to the hijack.
Junko showing up is enough for Yukari to immediately join damage control. I wonder is she got any frustrated words from Reimu up there.
Surprisingly enough Yukari ends up asking Eirin to call down Sagume to bring the festival to an end. Once she knew Okina was instigating this it probably wouldn't stop unless something like this was done about it. Resourceful.
Sumireko's outside nerd perspective was nice to see and she didn't even react to poorly to the hijack. I guess that's a testament to the effectiveness of the damage control.
Before, reading this I thought I was going to be super disappointed by Shinmyoumaru's actions here. I got the feeling that she would contradict her own character development or something here.
Shinmyoumaru was (somewhat) the mastermind behind the hijack. To her, the fireworks festival was insulting to what danmaku is. Danmaku is a display of power. Removing the danger from it is just wrong. It's a way for the small to show off their strength! She labours on that point the most; about how danmaku shows the strength of the weak and small.
Shinmyoumaru's weakness as an inchling is a big source of conflict for her. Her species is weak. She gets used and manipulated only to get beat down by the strong danmaku of the playable characters. I wouldn't be surprised if Shinmyoumaru was became enamored by power. With power comes the ability to change the world around you, and even if it's something Seija instigated, it's what Shinmyoumaru desires.
She's a very passionate character too. Yeah, she's one of the more morally good characters in touhou, but it doesn't mean her passion can't lead her down the wrong path and well...that's exactly what happens here.
She's no idiot, her goal here wasn't to get humans in the audience killed. She saw that there's already plenty of power behind the damage control for this event. This hijack wouldn't work if the audience had to run away from it. They needed to witness it and if the playable cast was busy protecting the audience then she had full reign to takeover the judges position.
However, Shinmyoumaru was in over her head here. Okina getting involved made the hijack way more intense than what Shinmyoumaru even had in mind. Yukari even gotten herself involved solely to support damage control (and have some fun with the event of course).
In a way, Shinmyoumaru is completely right about fireworks festival not showing off the true nature of danmaku. I mean, you can feel the disappointment from everyone when Marisa never fires off a true Master Spark. However, the hijack was the wrong way to go about it and Reimu shows her just that.
I don't see the Grimoire of Usami as a bad look on Shinmyoumaru's character. If anything, it exemplified her inner conflicts and flaws. She gets jealous of the many powerful characters that show up because she wants that power. She needs it to be the hero the inchlings never got. Although, she never realizes how much she has already achieved with her own strength alone.

Saw your requests are open so I was wondering if you could write for eddie x reader.
I've been thinking about reader knowing eddie from school but not being friends or anything, and she works at some design/printing place. One day Eddie comes in with his drawing for the hellfire shirts - a bit lost and bummed out cause he thinks the design is still missing something and also he has no idea how to actually go about making the shirts - but the reader is very helpful and the two realize it's a start of a very interesting relationship? :)
Requests are open | prompt lists for inspiration | Stranger Things Masterlist
Hello love and thank you so much for this, because it is such a cute request 💚 AND an interesting one due to the job and everything. So I hope I nailed it and you like it!
Pairing: Eddie Munson x GN!Reader Word count: 2331 Warning/Tags: fluff, shy Eddie (here and there), I don't really see anything else (let me know if I missed anything)💚
---
Help! I Need Somebody
You loved working at the print store, had been overjoyed when you’d gotten the job, because you always spent a lot of money here, which you could now save up for something else. Most of the things you needed to print to make your own shirts or whatever else tickled your fancy were now a lot cheaper and sometimes, your boss even let you have them for free, because he was so happy with your work. You were always friendly to the customers, had a smile on your lips, and while that made it easier to get through the day, it was also not lost on the customers, who came more frequently now that you were working there. Most of the time, you worked the weekends or after school. Sometimes, your money didn’t even make it home, because you spent it either in the record shop or on new art supplies, but the rest that did make it home, ended up in the envelope in your drawer.
The bell above the door rang on a lazy Saturday afternoon, announcing a new customer. You’d been in the back getting some new paper. It was warm and sunny outside, so there weren’t a lot of people visiting today. The last person had been here about an hour ago, so you’d been able to do some more organising in the back. Most people were spending their time outside, enjoying the sun, working in their gardens, and you envied them for a moment. Then again, you felt much better being productive here than laying around in the sun doing nothing.
“Just a second!” you called out to let the person know that there was someone there in case they needed some help. There were copy machines that the customers could operate themselves, but most of them still wanted the help, someone to talk to.
With the heavy paperstacks in your arms, you walked back to the front, hardly able to see anything, but you knew where you were going. What you didn’t have in mind, was that the customer could be in the way, and that was exactly what happened. You walked straight into that person.
“Ah shit!” you yelped, balancing the paper, while strong fingers wrapped around your upper arms.
“Whoa, hey there!” A familiar voice said, but you couldn’t see him yet. “You alright?”
“Yeah, just need to-” You stopped yourself, trying to heave the paper up, but he helped you, taking half of the packages off you, waiting for you to tell him where to put them. And then you saw who was standing in front of you. Eddie Munson, probably one of the last people you’d expected to walk in here. It wasn’t like you really knew him, but you went to school together, so you’d obviously seen him around, even had a course or two together, but you’d never really talked. “Over there.”
“Sure thing.” With ease, Eddie plopped the paper down where you wanted it, then watched you put the rest right next to his.
“Thank you.”
“No problem, y/n.” He caught you by surprise when he addressed you by your name. Well, yes, it wasn’t like you were strangers who saw each other for the first time, but you never would have thought that he’d know your name. Your surprise must have shown on your face, because he chuckled. “Didn’t think I knew your name, did you?”
“No,” you answered honestly, your lips turning up into a smile. “I mean we’ve never talked before… So why should you know my name?” You knew his, but Eddie was the person pretty much everyone knew, because of all the rumours and whatnot. Not that you gave a rat’s ass about what people said, because they said stupid stuff about you as well, but it certainly made his name well known throughout the town.
“Because you’re interesting and I’ve seen you around always drawing something in your notebook, so I’ve always been curious about what you were drawing. And I mean we have English together as well as biology.” Not that he was there all the time, but you’d certainly captured his eye, paying attention to class while drawing in your notebook when you weren’t taking down notes.
“You’ve been watching me, mh?” You couldn’t help but chuckle at the look on his face, like a deer caught in the headlights, when he realised what he’d just said.
“Not in a creepy way!” Jesus, Eddie, get a grip. “Just in a… that’s interesting kinda way, you know? Making me curious.”
“But you never asked me about it.” You weren’t unapproachable, were you? Just sometimes caught in your own bubble when you were concentrating on your art projects, especially when you were trying to capture a moment or the look on someone’s face.
“I wanted to, but I guess… I didn’t really work up the courage to come and talk to you.” Eddie scratched the back of his neck, cheeks turning a shade of red that you wished you could capture and put on paper right now, because it was so beautiful.
“Oh, I’m that terrifying, huh?” you said with a laugh, shaking your head. “Didn’t take you for the shy type.” Definitely not, but it was refreshing to see a different side to the person who stepped on lunch tables during break and delivered speeches to his friends and anyone else around who was willing to listen - and those who didn’t, still had the chance to leave or ignore him. He was fascinating, but he wasn’t here to talk to you, was he?
“Anyway,” you said before he could react to your words. “What can I help you with?”
“Yes… right…” Eddie mumbled, still trying to collect himself, because of your previous words. No, you weren’t terrifying, but apparently, he was getting a bit shy in your presence. Because you were so open, you laughed and smiled at him without trouble and didn’t back away like a lot of people did due to his reputation, which made you only more interesting. “I wanted to make some shirts for our Dungeons and Dragons club, and I came up with a kind of logo…” He reached in his back pocket to pull out the piece of paper he’d drawn it upon. “I feel it’s not really… finished, like something is missing, but I want to get this on shirts to surprise the others.”
He handed you the drawing and you looked it over. It looked great already, but he was right, there was something missing.
“Maybe, I can help with that. I mean, it looks amazing, but I have an idea, if that’s alright?”
“Yes, of course!” Eddie’s face lit up, because he’d secretly hoped to get some help from you. He hadn’t seen any of your drawings yet, but he knew that you must be good, creative at least, because otherwise you wouldn’t spend so much time doing that.
With a big grin on your face, you turned first towards the copy machine, so that you could make a copy of his work, because you didn’t want to just draw on the original. That one went back to Eddie and you took the other one with you behind the counter. Eddie followed you, but stayed on the other side to watch what you were doing. His eyes landed on your fingers, mesmerised by the way the pencils glided over the paper, like you didn’t even think about what you were doing, and maybe you didn’t, because you already knew what you wanted to add to his drawing.
You reached for the red pencil, tongue stuck between your lips as you added some colour to the existing parts and to the bits you’d drawn yourself. When you were finished, you looked back up at Eddie.
“Look, it’s more even when you put another dice on the other side and not just the D20, so I added the D4 as well-”
“You know what these are?” Eddie said, visibly surprised and even a bit enamoured with you. That was definitely nothing he’d expected.
“Sure!” You cocked your head to the side. “That’s what you didn’t expect, right?”
“Well…” He bit his lip, before he shrugged his shoulders. “Not really to be honest.”
“To be honest, I haven’t played Dungeons and Dragons, but I read up on it, ‘cause I got curious and even got a character sheet that I started on.”
“Really?” Now, that really piqued his interest. It was something he was so passionate about, and here you were telling him that it was something you were interested in as well.
“I’m not gonna tell you about it. Maybe later. After all, you’re here because of this.” You pointed towards the drawing, on the table in front of you. You knew that the questions were burning on his tongue, but telling him about your character when he knew so much about it, made you a little shy all of a sudden. Your character wasn’t finished after all, and you could really use some help, if you ever wanted to pursue playing actively. “Apart from the dice, I just added a little bit of colour. Now, I don’t know if you wanted it to be just black and white, but I just thought that the red and yellow add a little more depth and make it look even more badass.”
“No, no, you’re totally right!” Eddie’s eyes were glued to the drawing, while his mind was still racing with the information that you were interested in DnD. “This really makes it perfect. Thank you!” Eddie gave you a dazzling smile, that made you feel the heat creep up your neck all of a sudden.
“Pleasure! So, do you know how you want to put it on a shirt?” You came back around the counter, the new drawing in hand. “I mean, you could paint it on the shirt by hand, but that takes some of your time away. You could also order some printed shirts with that, which isn’t exactly cheap. The cheapest version and the one that saves you the most time, is this.” You rummaged through a drawer before you pulled out what you were looking for, and held it up.
“And… that is what exactly?” To Eddie, it looked like just another piece of paper, maybe a bit thicker, but he really didn’t know what you wanted with that.
“That, my friend, will transfer your drawing onto a shirt.” A crooked smile was still playing on your lips when you nodded your head, gesturing for him to follow you to the printer in the back. “We print the picture on this, and then you just need to put it face down on the shirt, flat iron it, leave the iron on it for some time, but move it around a little so it doesn’t overheat, and voila, you have your finished shirt.”
“Are you serious?”
“Absolutely! How do you think I make my shirts?”
“Wait, you made them yourself?” Eddie’s eyes widened in surprise. He’d admired your shirts every now and then but hadn’t told you, and now he found out that you’d made the designs yourself? Amazing!
“Yeah… not all of them like this, I hand paint some of them, but generally speaking… yeah.” You focused on the printer, put the right paper in that you’d need for this and started printing the first one.
“Well, then I have to tell you, that you’re doing awesome work with them. Because I always wondered where you got clothes like that from, because I thought they were so cool.”
“Oh… thank you. Most people just look at me weird because I do not dress like them, but at least this-” you gestured towards your own body, your clothes “-is me and not something everybody else wants to see or wears around here.” Yes, you were proud to express your personality, and that your parents had given up on trying to talk you out of it.
“You should know by now that I’m not most people,” Eddie said with a wink, making you smile.
“Yeah, I picked up on that.” You reached for the finished paper and held it up to him. “Now, you just have to iron it on a shirt.”
“Can we get a couple more?” Eddie inspected the print, traced his fingers over the outlines, smiling to himself. Yes, now, it was really perfect, and the others would love it as well.
“Sure!” You set to work, put a few more of these special papers in before you let them get printed.
“Thank you… for all your help. I was really stuck but didn’t want to wait any longer.”
“It was no problem. I mean, it looked great before already, and you could have gotten that printed-”
“Nonono, it’s better this way. You’re right about the colours.” Something he really hadn’t paid any attention to, but now that you’d added them, he couldn’t even imagine the logo without them. “So, about that DnD character of yours…”
“I told you, I’m not finished… kinda stuck.”
“Ahh, now see, that’s what I am an expert in. You helped me with this, I can help you with your character sheet. And you can even join us for the next campaign, if you want, see what it really is like. Maybe you’ll enjoy it.”
“Are you serious?” Your eyes lit up, because you’d been dying to find out what it was like to actually play.
“Of course I am!”
“Okay, Munson, you got yourself a deal.” With a bright smile on your lips, you reached out your hand. When Eddie grabbed it and shook it, you knew you’d found a new friend, someone who was as passionate about the things he loved as you. Ignoring the tingles that started to move up from your arm, coursing through your whole body in the end, you were just happy to have made a new friend.

What's your headcanons for Columbo?
Does he have a wife? Does he have over 10 murderer boyfriends? Etc
part of what makes columbo so fun to watch is that the showrunners essentially wanted you to make headcanons about columbo. much of the intended fun and mystique of the character is thinking about his personal life and what makes him tick.
now as for me, i'm completely nuts, so asking me about my columbo headcanons is like opening pandora's box. it's overwhelming. i have headcanons about what the man wears when he begrudgingly remembers to take out the trash at 11 pm. so i'll try to keep it short with my more sane and general ones:
his name is francesco
his wife is real. it's fun to imagine him single, but the wifeless theory doesn't hold much water. as time went on, the writers made a conscious and overt decision to make columbo's wife a real entity. between private phone calls and cruise trips, it becomes an active effort for one to ignore her presence, despite the fact that you never see her. in fact, they came close to showing her:
Tumblr media
my headcanon for them is that they're like most interesting couples: similar in important ways, but complementary. e.g. columbo clawed his way out of high school, she finished postgrad summa cum laude. he's messy, she's clean. he loves gourmet cooking, she burns water. she's a techie, he couldn't hack his way out of a paper bag. she has her series 7 license, he kind of knows what a stock is. etc.
he reads. constantly. even if it's just the newspaper
he's more refined than he lets on. columbo may be a self-proclaimed chili-eating mark twain louis armstrong cream soda kind of guy who confuses HVAC ductwork for art installations, but i think he's someone who cares about the integrity of the things around him. he has taste. he's realistic, he values simplicity, but he's not a rube. he appreciates quality items, good food, good music, and fine traits in people.
he's more introverted than he lets on. he can be garrulous and friendly with strangers, but lots of times we find him silent and/or lost in thought. he largely works alone and we often see him alone off the clock.
his job affects him more than he lets on. i mean kind of a given, right? he's seen it all, but he's still human. aside from being perpetually tired and hungry because he's hyperfixating on his work, i imagine he has some degree of post-traumatic stress. in my head columbo wakes up sometimes in a cold sweat thinking about the girl who jumped off a balcony or the guy strangled to death at the gym
he was a troublemaker as a kid. i love imagining him as an agent of the law born out of his chaotic, delinquent upbringing. i sometimes entertain the theory that he's killed or had someone close to him killed as an impetus for the sheer drive he has for his work. i also think he was definitely the most annoying motherfucker on the block as a kid and his brothers bullied him for it so hard he turned it into a strength
his fashion sense is actually good. more of a gripe i have than a headcanon. it irks me when people diss columbo's fit. young columbo clearly knows how to dress, and stock standard columbo changes subtly throughout the show. but the basics--the tan raincoat, grey/reddish/brown suit, white/creme button-down, dark green tie, brown chukka boots--are very well-coordinated in color and material. they're baggy out of necessity, not sloppiness. he moves around constantly and thus prioritizes comfort in a job and milieu that require a suit and tie in sunny southern california. it makes perfect sense that he'd eschew a sharply tailored worsted wool getup and opt for roomy linen! he dislikes overly tight clothes. which leads me to...

...he's a certified Freak and he gets "weirder" with age as he grows less and less concerned with how he comes off to others--"masking", so to speak. related to this is that the raincoat is his safety blanket, as he's sensitive to textures and levels of pressure/constriction. just look at him trying to think in the Wrong Coat:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he's got a thing for belly dancers:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sometimes he'll swing by the grocery store at 10 pm to pick up something for the wife and when nobody is looking he rides his shopping cart through the store like this
Tumblr media
he has a strategy when he goes to buffets. the little old lady in front of him may be piling noodles and rice onto her plate but columbo's got so much steak and shrimp on his that they're about to ask him to leave

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Note: Max has no ears on purpose even in human form, also they can transform only partially where their upper body still looks like the human one.
Bio below: (unfinished, I'm gonna need time to develop them/her)
Name: Max Karuna
Nicknames: Snakes (Sebastian, Chouma) Maxie (Franziska)
Nonbinary, uses She/they
Age: 29
Height: 167 cm (human)
Occupation: A rockband's drummer
Family: They apparently has a MASSIVE family, but rarely sees them due to her job (not relevant to the main story either)
Love Interest: Franziska Belmont (A sith cat/cat witch)
Friends: Sebastian Kravchenko (Wyvern) Chouma (A moth spirit) Kaspian Kravchenko (Also a Wyvern, Sebastian's brother)
Powers:
Aquatic abilities: They can breathe underwater, dive into the depth of 4 km, swim 50 mph, and send supersonic signals through water and has some water elemental powers, though she needs to be in contact with water to do so, unlike actual elementals.
Excellent drumming skills: Self explanatory
Shapeshifting: They can switch between a human, a half or full-naga, as well as a full snake form. The latter is the size of a normal python snake, whereas her naga form can be up to 10-15 meters long
Venom: She can produce venom from her fangs and clawed hands that can either sedate, paralyze or kill a target. They aren't the most poisonous type though, so typically the venom doesn't work lethally on most healthy humans, let alone nonhuman beings.
Sixth sense for treasure: Her kind generally are well known for finding anything lost that holds importance, and she is no different. If something is missing, their bandmates often ask them to find it.
WEAKNESSES:
Being very mischievous and chaotic, they can sometimes be a bit much to people, and she can attract unnecessary chaos around her.
(More tba)
PERSONALITY:
Max is confident, outgoing and friendly person, who makes friends easily and is generally seen as a bit of a sunny person to be around. She is very mischievous, and tends to pull pranks on people a lot. They are also very attuned to people's emotions and vibes, and can tell when someone is having a bad day and what could perhaps help.
She is a bit of a potty mouth, but they try their best to censor themselves when around kids or people who don't like swearing (at least, if they like said people)
Despite her seemingly eccentric nature, they are able to quiet down and listen to someone's woes well, sometimes even giving surprisingly good advice. (More tba)
EXTRA FACTS:
Her snake colors and pattern is inspired by the banana/coral glow python
Max enjoys ridiculously sugary and sweet drinks and freakshakes.
Max' trademark coat was actually designed by Sebastian's brother, it was a special birthday gift and not available for sale anywhere. he made it based on her ideas.
Max finds it funny how all of their love interest are cats; Sebastian and Chouma with the Bakeneko brothers Alois and Quinn, and her/they with cat witch Franziska.
Max loves action movies and silly goofy b-movie horror movies, finding them hilarious
They can't sing, at all. But they do make sick beats with the drums
Max of course largely follows punkish/grunge style, but also tends to enjoy including something really bright and colorful to it.
In general she tends to wear one really eccentric statement piece with almost every outfit, or at least one with a very strongly contrasting color.
Max's favorite style of party is treasure hunting, and anytime they celebrate her birthday or something, their friends arrange a hunt of some sort.
She has a habit of saying "oooo, Shiny!" about anything she likes, not just actual Jewels. It could be a friend, their girlfriend, clothes they like, etc.
Their kind tend to not have ears by default in human form, so if trying to blend in with actual humans, they have to remember to shapeshift their head to include those.
Their red hair comes from their dad, but the naga form is very much from her mom, hence there's no red in it

If it's not too much of a spoiler but which em are going to end up more on the antagonistic side and which will end up taking more of an ally stance?
Some characters are definitely going to have a similar role like in season 4 I imagine but considering you will give more depth to a lot of them (like for example tox who completely drowned out in the show), which roles will slightly change/more focused on?
What I'm personally guessing right now is that chamille and ash are more on the antagonistic side, skylor stays the way she was in the show while karlof might be more of an ally (since he is kai's teacher in school) as well as tox. And with the rest I absolutely don't know
-nerd anon
With Skylor, she does lean a bit more into her ~evil upbringing~ at first cuz I think there's a lot of potential there that can be explored, along with how she grows to adjust to life beyond the Archipelago, but otherwise yes she's basically just like the show.
Chamille of course is antagonistic (especially towards Lloyd for hopefully will-be-if-not-already obvious reasons) as that's been her schtick for a while (though we don't really get to see much out of it), but she definitely ain't using that power of hers for anything good.
Karlof and Tox stay good through and through, although Tox may be tempted otherwise a little ways down the line, even if only temporarily. Karlof, however, stays a good bean ;w;)/
Paleman's definitely getting fleshed out more! As mentioned on a previous ask he actually gets to have a fight in the tournament (primarily due to the inclusion of Jesse), on top of his complicated background and potential connections with Sunni :3
Griffin's already got some of the biggest spotlight out of all the "Side EMs", and I'm aiming to make him more of a (eventually friendly) rival character than a straight up antagonist. Just someone to keep the gang on their toes, mostly.
Ash isn't outright evil, but due to me rebranding him as an assassin, he definitely doesn't have the best morals all the time. Still kind of fidgeting with his character due to the fact he doesn't ever say a word (maybe I'll make him selectively mute, there's an idea) but for a wispy guy he's rather sharp around the edges *ba dum tiss*
Jacob won't have a grand role or anything, but he does get a lot of interaction with the likes of Jay and Jesse that I'm looking forward to. And in later seasons when the EMs are called upon to gather, I do plan to have him, y'know, not be missing, because unlike Chamille he does't have an excuse. C'mon man, you're part of this crazy crew too!!! (And no, I refuse to believe he was eaten by Chen's pet snake, hmph)
Gravis...I'm still workshopping. I do somewhat picture him as a neutral party when it comes to conflicts, and probably mediates when necessary, but right now I don't have him doing anything outside of the box. Yet. I'm sure once I dive more into his character I'll come up with something, haha
Shade comes off as antagonistic, but he's just an anti-social extravert hgfkjhjgfdsgfd. And this started as a crack idea (of course) buuut I thought it'd be hilarious if Sunni and/or Miranda wind up making him break his hardass facade askljhghfhgfd
Neuro generally is someone that has good intentions, but he will play both sides if he thinks it'll benefit him in the long run. Which is very easy to do when you're a mind reader. Most of the time, however, he is actually quite eager to help, and I kind of think it would be fun to have him work under/for/in relation to Borg in the future like Julien used to. But, we'll see, I'm not totally committed to the idea (I just want an excuse to see him more)
Bolobo is just out here doing his own thing to his own vibe and thriving with it skklslkslkfg. He's got some good insightful moments coming his way though~
Jesse absolutely doesn't go full antagonist whatsoever but he does have a lil' rebellious phase at one point snksnksnk
But also every EM gets a chance to kind of talk about themselves and their pasts before or after being eliminated from the tournament (preferably before but I'm going to be realistic for now), and I'm really excited to expand on the EMs dynamics with the main ninja and each other! <3

The idea for Nix started as a Nixxi AU, and then she became her own person and (don't tell the other 3) prolly my fav. She's quite friendly to everyone in town and shows up in Sandrock ready to do her best for the people there.
Tumblr media
Nix, saved by Pen spending 0 time paying attention to his classmates as the mirror is better looking. Her panic quickly became astonishment followed by amusement, followed by worry. Why was a Duvos Knight here in Sandrock? Her confusion only grew when later she realized she knew the face on the wanted posters she'd been handed and told to hang up... he was the one who had refused to let her die. A bandit? No way.... What is happening in this town?!
Tumblr media
Lil break and enter to try and find some answers, to heck with the law
Tumblr media
And now Nix is the law. Her loyal steed is Sunni (Sue-knee) and is a very good horse <3 When Nix and the Corps chase Rambo and Justice insisted that Nix take one of the Corps horses, Sunni followed along behind. (Like actually in game, Sunni followed Nix as we chased the goat. Cracked me up.) Nix will never let anyone talk her into riding a horse that isn't Sunni again. She will fight Justice about it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nix is a FERAL fighter. Scared the lights outta Justice the first time he saw her go full in, as noted in the character sheet, she is physically IMPOSSIBLE. Her swords are usually taller then she is and weigh half as much or more then she does, and she is very very good with them. Fighting is her top skill, and she's a chart topping builder. There was a rumor among Duvosians that Bloodbird was born with pure white hair, the red tint it now had was from being stained with blood so often. She prefers to avoid violence in Sandrock, as it brings up memories of her worst self, and only fights for the sake of the town (and to make a good showing at High Noon with Wifie but that's all in good sport. We came in #1.) She fought every invading Duvosian she could, and will do it again if they mess with her town.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our gals eloped in the middle of the Duvos chaos on the last day of Nix's first year in Sandrock. Nix: "I know I will have regret if I should fall in conflict before we are wed. And I want to start the new year as your wife, and you as mine! Please, marry me? Here and Now? Then no matter what is done, where I should end up, it will be written and remembered that I am forever yours and yours alone."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
School just opened in town, there's still adventure ahead for Nix. Including the adventure of parenthood!

I'm a bit curious was it ever confirmed that Shaun and Ian interacted with one another or met before the eventual breakup between Ian and MC. If not what are some of your headcanons on this matter would they have gotten along at all?
Actually, yes, it has been confirmed that Shaun and Ian knew each other before Ian and MC broke up in this comic posted over on the official Sunny Day Jack twitter!
Tumblr media
Credit as always to Sauce for their awesome artwork and for giving us this hilarious glimpse into college age Ian and Shaun. Consider supporting them and the rest of the SnaccPop Studios team by joining the patreon for even more lore tidbits I can't even mention publicly. Just remember, don't share anything privately posted!
While a lot of teaser/development art should be taken with a grain of salt, if it appears on one of the official pages, it's a pretty safe bet that it's canon to the timeline of the game.
So this comic, also drawn by the awesome Sauce, while hilarious, may or may not be canon.
Tumblr media
I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that Ian did not pass Shaun's vibe check.
The first comic certainly makes it clear that Shaun didn't find Ian attractive considering the way he reacted. Maybe it's due to jealousy (I don't think Shaun wants to think about his crush having sex with someone else) or maybe it's because of Ian's bad taste in anime. Who can say?
Content Warnings: This post contains talk of cheating, jealousy, drinking in excess, (unintentional) self-harm, near death experience, SA, issues with sex, and toxic relationships.
I suspect that these two just didn't get along. Between Shaun suffering from jealousy due to his crush and the two of them having different tastes, they were probably only friendly to one another for MC's sake.
I would imagine that Shaun's opinion on Ian took an extreme nosedive when they found out Ian cheated on MC.
Man... can you imagine how much pain Shaun has been through? He had to watch his best friend/crush be happy with someone else... then get devastated by being cheated on. The worst part was if he had bad vibes from Ian from the start, but he ignored his gut feelings for MC's sake.
When it comes to my personal headcanons that I use for Sunshine in Hell... Shaun and Ian had friction since the first day Alice introduced the two of them.
It wasn't just Shaun being jealous of Ian either. Ian was jealous of Shaun too!
Ian has always suffered from a low sense of self-esteem. Shaun, by comparison, is much more well put together, more outgoing, and has this natural charisma that draws people to him. Shaun is just so likable that he gets a lot of attention and friends. For years, Ian was the exact opposite of that, which led to him being bullied and degraded often.
So one day Alice, his childhood friend and partner, is super excited to introduce Ian to her new friend. Shaun and Alice have a lot in common, and it was very visible in the early years of college when Alice was in the middle of her pastel goth phase. Shaun and Alice had a love for horror movies, cats, the goth aesthetic, and a whole bunch of other things. They clicked so quickly, and it scared Ian a little.
It didn't help that Alice had trouble making friends like Ian did. They had that in common, something that gave them a sort of understanding that no one else could intrude on. Now that they were in college they started making more friends, and that was a good thing, really! But Alice clicked with Shaun about as fast as she did with Ian.
In the 1st grade, one day Alice mustered up the courage to talk to Ian in order to cheer him up. After that they started talking every day and they were besties ever since. From there, they started dating. She's never really clicked with anyone else so fast like she did with Ian...
Until Shaun, that is.
Ian kept comparing himself to Shaun, unfavorably. He kept worrying about Alice falling for Shaun instead since, well, clearly Shaun had so much more than Ian had to offer. Why wouldn't she? What didn't help his insecurities was the fact that they had been a couple since high school, but they still hadn't had sex yet.
I integrated the comic into part of Alice and Ian's troubled sex life. The depicted instance was Ian's attempt at making things romantic so that they could finally go all the way.
It took them a while to start being sexually intimate due to their mutual lack of practical knowledge and Alice's SA trauma. She was very cuddly with Ian, not afraid to kiss him or go into a make out session, but she struggled to go further than that for a long time. It left Ian struggling with insecurities, fearing that he wasn't attractive to her despite her constantly reassuring him that wasn't the case.
Really, it was that insecurity and self-blame that pushed Alice to go further than she was ready for, to pretty painful results that she learned to just accept as part of the experience.
Alice is the type of person who can't be comfortable with people touching her unless she trusts them. However, when she gets close to someone, she can get pretty cuddly, even with her friends, giving them hugs often. So, for Ian, seeing his girlfriend get comfortable hugging another guy... someone he might have noticed looking at her a certain way...
Well, getting cockblocked on his rocky road to losing his virginity didn't help Ian see Shaun in a more favorable light.
Really, this was an incident that pushed Ian to be a bit more possessive of Alice. He was already struggling with the fact that his partner was sharing a dorm with someone else, but for Shaun to just casually walk into her bedroom like that without knocking? Ian certainly had permission to come in there without Alice knowing since he's her boyfriend, and he was planning to surprise her with a romantic evening, but how long had Shaun been just letting himself into her private space so casually?
Ian didn't believe that Alice was cheating on him, but what if Shaun decided to take advantage of her? What if this casual blurring of their living space led to feelings blooming?
What if Alice realized that Shaun was so much better than Ian in every way?
This led to Ian asking Alice to move into an apartment with him, even if it cost them money. He was able to feel more secure when they were living together, and he could be the one going into her bedroom at any hour of the day to be with her instead of someone else.
Shaun did try to befriend Ian, but it seemed like every time they hung out, something would rub him the wrong way. He did his best to be happy for Alice and Ian in their relationship, but it wasn't just Ian's shit taste in anime that struck Shaun as a red flag.
It didn't take Shaun long to notice a pattern in Ian and Alice's relationship. Ian would be down on himself, even cry and apologize for being inadequate, and Alice would reassure him. It seemed like every day, he saw this happen at least once. He tried reassuring Ian as well when he could, but after a while it gets tiring to try and lift someone up who keeps dragging himself down. Shaun would suggest Ian try therapy, and Ian would insist it wouldn't work, he was hopeless, and it wasn't worth wasting money on.
It was only when Alice showered Ian with love, and when their mutual friends bent backwards to cheer him up, that Ian would perk up again.
Shaun saw the red flags going up, how Ian was so needy for Alice and it was wearing on her. She went out of her way for Ian all the time, doing so much more because Ian "needed" her.
What made it worse was that Shaun saw how unbalanced their relationship was, how Alice gave Ian so much more than Ian gave back. Because Ian was so clingy, Alice had to often cancel meet ups with friends at the last minute, citing that he was having a bad day and needed her. Yet, on days when Alice was feeling like shit, she just kept powering through, pretending nothing was wrong. It took Shaun a lot of effort to pry her into leaning on him, and he'd even go out of his way to do stuff for her without her asking, like buying her lunch when she was so overworked she forgot to bring any.
Shaun worried for Alice because she was his friend, and she didn't deserve this sort of treatment. It was like she had become Ian's emotional crutch. Regardless of his attraction towards her, regardless if they could ever get together, he wanted her to be happy.
Shaun's opinion of Ian slowly deteriorated over time, but it turned into downright hate when Ian cheated on Alice, especially after she almost died because of it.
It was just a normal night when Shaun got a phone call from Ian. It was about Alice of course. It was the only reason Ian ever called Shaun - to check up on Alice. That night was different because Ian was in a panic. Alice wasn't picking up for him, which was unusual enough, but Ian was insistent that Shaun needed to check on her to make sure she was okay.
It was lucky that Shaun had the spare key to the apartment Alice and Ian shared. The sight of her lying unconscious in a pool of blood in the bathroom is a scar that'll forever be etched in his memory.
Shaun spent an entire night terrified, wondering what had happened. Did Alice try to kill herself? Why? She might have been missing Ian after he moved across the country, but she always reached out to Shaun and others when she wanted company. What happened that night? When he mentioned Alice's state to Ian, he just wailed that it was all his fault and Shaun couldn't reach Ian after that, as Ian was busy trying to book a flight back home to see her at the hospital.
Shaun had to be the one to call Alice's family too, but he had no answers to give them. The doctors would only let family or her legal partner see her for a while. It was only the next day that he learned that it was all because Ian had cheated on Alice, and she drank to dull the pain, only to hurt herself under the influence of alcohol poisoning.
Shaun could've kicked himself. He saw the problems in their relationship, but he didn't think it was his place to say anything. He worried his jealousy was coloring his perspective, seeing things too negatively. Now he wished he pushed harder like his gut told him, got Alice to see that the relationship was no good for her.
When Alice forgave Ian and tried to make it work, Shaun couldn't just sit back and let it happen.
So, yeah, Shaun's opinion of Ian in the present day is very negative. He views Ian as a toxic, manipulative, cheating scumbag who didn't deserve Alice. It was a relief when he managed to help Alice see that too so that she could finally end that toxic relationship. He was there for her so many nights when she cried over Ian and missed him. He saw the pain Ian put Alice through, and it just made his hatred of Ian grow.
Ian is grateful for Shaun being there to help Alice and even getting her to the hospital, but that doesn't get rid of his jealousy. Shaun and Alice are still talking even though she never picks up the phone for Ian anymore. He sees their exchanges online. They're still close. Shaun could one day sweep in and...
Ian can't let that happen. He can't let Shaun steal away the person who means so much to him. He can't let Alice just let him go like this. He just has to apologize to Alice, keep apologizing, and everything will be fine.
Sooooo... yeah, suffice to say, Ian and Shaun do not get along, and I doubt that they ever will... at least in my headcanons.

16, 30, 31! for your Booksmart MC,
14, 40, and 23 for your SoH MC!
For the Character Development Hard Mode asks. First up, Amira, my Booksmart/Hot MC from Scarlet Hollow: 16. Which does your character idealize most: happiness or success? In the past, Amira put more value in success. That's part of why she became a lawyer, and she wanted to make Vivian proud. Over time she's come to idealize happiness more. After working her ass off in law school and now working 80 hours a week with a quarter of a million in student loan debt, and her mother's death, yeah success isn't looking so great. Sadly, she feels like happiness might be a pipe dream for her. 30. What does your character find repulsive or disgusting? Ditchlings! Amira is both skeptical and fastidious, and she isn't handling the horrors well, she finds a lot of what's been going on this week repulsive. Also cockroaches, and people who are very messy eaters. Well a lot of insects really, while she can manage around them and understands their necessary ecological role, she can never get rid of that ick factor. 31. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most comfortable. Sitting outside on a nice sunny day reading a good book! It's when she's at the most peace and feels the most comfortable. For how easily she can come across as a pretentious snob, she's actually quite happy and comfortable with the simple pleasures in life. For Kyrahlise, my Shepherds of Haven MC: 14. Does your character remember names or faces easier? Kyrah's quite good with both, though she's a little better with faces. Probably because of her artistic side, she's a very visual thinker. 23. What does your character dislike in other people? Whether she likes someone or not mostly comes down to how they treat other people, and animals. So anyone who's a bully, purposely rude, cruel, very discriminatory, is mean to kids or animals, abuses their power over others, or is just generally a jerk, she really dislikes. Not that most people would realize this, she's too polite to let it really show the majority of the time. Otherwise she's pretty easy going and gets along with most people just fine. 40. How does your character treat people in service jobs? Very well. Kyrahlise is naturally a friendly and understanding person, and a lot of her jobs over the years have essentially been service jobs. So she especially has a lot of empathy for service workers. She's been a maid, bodyguard, clerk at an art supply shop, and a waitress, so she's gets how much it can suck. (Some may argue that being a bodyguard isn't a service job, but you are providing a service and I'm sure have to use a lot of customer service skills in doing it.)

a friendly psa about (some) asian names ✌️
this is not me coming to you as an admin (though this message has been admin-team-approved), this is me coming at you as an ollie, who is tired. and i am going to attempt to kindly educate, because i have been playing wei wuxian for three years, and there are still occasionally people who call him 'wei.' pls believe that i know it's not intentional and that it's definitely not meant maliciously, but it's still tiring. so!! i wrote this nice little guide to (some) asian names, and i am hoping you will read it, and potentially learn something about a different culture, if this is new to you 💕
asian names are usually (not always! but usually!) structured as surname + given name. (aka family name first, then first name). so for example, my chinese character who is named mo xi, he's from the mo family, and his given name is xi. i mention this bc i have seen so many starter calls, etc, where people request from my characters using their last names, and i would love for this to stop. for my character named feng yu, his family name is feng, yu is his given name. that's why feng yu's brother is feng xin. they have the same surname, and that surname comes first 👍
**however!! this structure is not a broad-strokes rule; it doesn't necessarily apply to all asian characters or all characters from asian countries/fandoms. a lot of people still submit their apps for asian characters and prefer to list them on the taken/ooc pages with "given name + surname" in that order, so it's best not to make general assumptions. for example, sunny is listed on the ooc as playing an anime/manga character named madoka kaname. in this case, the character's given name is 'madoka' with the last name 'kaname.' how can you tell? if you look on the character's wiki page or on sunny's blog, either place will tell you that she does in fact go by 'madoka.' (so: you wouldn't want to assume that it's flip-flopped just because it looks like an asian name).
therefore, when writing with someone and trying to figure out how to write an asian name appropriately, generally the best thing to do is ask yourself: how is the other person structuring this character's name in their replies and starter calls? and can i look on the character's wiki page to figure it out if i'm unsure? finally, if neither of those help you, you can always just ask your writing partner. personally, i know my dm's are open and i'd rather someone come to me and say 'hey i was wondering how should i write X character's name' rather than see someone call them the wrong name, which makes me sad :((
finally, a note specifically for CHINESE names!!
with chinese names specifically, in mandarin you usually do call someone by their full name, even if it's someone you've known for a while. so whether i was longtime friends with wei wuxian or whether we just became friends recently, i would still call him 'wei wuxian.' this may seem overly formal, but i promise it's not.
now, it is acceptable to call someone by only their given name as long as their given name has more than a single character (syllable). so if i wanted to could call him just 'wuxian' it would be technically fine-- especially if we're talking/writing in english, that's fine. 👍 wen kexing can be called 'kexing.' chu wanning can technically be called 'wanning,' etc. it is odd for strangers, but if you know the person or especially if you're friends/close, it's definitely alright. (there's actually a lot of rules about nicknames/ closeness/ seniority and things like that, but without getting too complicated, you can assume this is generally fine.)
HOWEVER, if someone's chinese given name is one character (usually written with one syllable in pinyin/english), you really shouldn't call them just by that name. it's not technically rude, exactly, but it's awkward and off-putting at the very least. that's not what you call them. xie lian is 谢怜, with both names as one character each, so 'xie lian' can't just be called 'lian.' he can either be 'xie lian' (full name) or something like 'a-lian' if you really want to give him a nickname. likewise, pei ming cannot be called 'ming' even though that's his given name. he needs to be called 'pei ming' all together. mo xi is always called mo xi (never 'xi'), qi yan is always called qi yan (not just 'yan') etc. if you're not sure at a glance whether a chinese muse's given name is one-character or not, simply call them by their full name to be safe.
again, this might sound like a lot of work, but if you just look at my tag for xie lian or read whatever reply of mine you're working off of, you'll see me call him 'xie lian' in the narration, and you can just follow along with that. and once you figure it out one time, then ur good for any later interactions as well.
and that's it !! if you have questions, feel free to ask and i'll try my best to explain! don't feel bad if you've misnamed characters in the past, but i would really appreciate if people keep this in mind moving forward, because it will make my life so much more peaceful and relaxing. thanks for reading; i appreciate your time!!

🍭🍭THE SHIP BABY DIRECTORY!🍭🍭
The products of Maria's various ships on this blog! Some babies are canon, some are not, and some are more prominent than others (and this list will inevitably grow sigh), but I love all of them!
I'll keep it basic so it won't be a novel, but you can ask about them if you want!
CLARA (the OG)
Father: Maria's Unnamed Ex-Husband (Prosecutor!Verse), Leo (FE!Verse (when she's married to Leo), KNY!Verse)
Stepfather: Simon (@risingshine )
((I won't rehash her bio and personality since she has a page already! Go check it out~))
SANTANA GAVIN
Father: Klavier (@legalbrats)
Bio: Maria and Klavier's oldest child. She caused quite a stir among Gavinners fans when she was born. She's played the guitar and volleyball since she was a young child. How does a teenager rebel against parents as over-the-top as Maria and Klavier? By being as basic as possible. Santana went to great lengths to fit in as much as she could, which caused her parents great distress. In her spare time, she composes and posts songs on social media.
Personality: Santana is kind, sunny, and strong-willed. She is protective of her siblings and likes having lots of friends. Like her parents, she can be dramatic when bad things happen, and very flirty.
Physical Appearance: Blonde hair. A lovely smile. Powerful legs.

RICK JAMES "RJ" GAVIN
Father: Klavier (@legalbrats)
Bio: The youngest, and the only boy. He and his sisters are very close. He tagged along to one of Santana's ballet lessons when he was small and he loved it. He danced until middle school, where he was picked on for it. In college, he rediscovered his love for dance and continued. He wants to be a movie star, too.

KIRAGI
Father: Takumi (@fjinyumi )
Bio: Maria and Takumi's long-awaited son, who was placed in a Deeprealm(a pocket dimension) when he was nearly kidnapped as a baby. He reunited with his parents during the war, and he enjoys hunting, where he can put his incredible eyesight to good use. Although he is a prince, he dislikes fancy clothes and prefers that people speak casually to him.
Personality: He's friendly and fun-loving and doesn't sweat the small stuff. He can be stubborn and very messy, though. Like biohazard messy. He often puts hunting before his studies.
Physical Appearance: Here he is!
SHOUKO KANEDA
Father: Kaneda (@sayonaradumbass)
Bio: Born in a timeline where Tetsuo did not get up to his Tetsuo business, and to the sheer horror of Maria's father. Her mom is a prosecutor turned fashion consultant and her dad owns a bike garage. Since her mother works crazy hours, she is often in the care of Kaneda, who is definitely the more lax parent. When she gets older, she becomes a punk, and Maria absolutely cannot stand it.
Personality: Shouko is outgoing and curious and a bit of a showoff. She loves to talk to new people. She goes to private school but she can be hood af and is not afraid to stomp somebody, which often gets her in trouble.
Physical Appearance: Fluffy eyebrows. Poofy cheeks. Her hair started out light but darkened as she got older.
