*cut to me SLAMMING open the door*
Theodore Laurence goes by “Laurie” in Little Women because his male classmates would call him “Dory” when they heard his first name.
But Theodore is a relatively common first name, no? Hell, there was a Senator for New Jersey named Theodore not even twenty years prior to when the book takes place. Also “Dory” seems like a bit of a stretch since the Anglo pronunciation is “Thee-oh-door”…
And then it hit me.
Laurie is half Italian, canonically.
And since he has a pretty darn English surname (though it’s technically also French in origin as well as Old English and yes, I had to check), I can only assume that his mother at the time probably wanted to have a little Italian weaved into his name somewhere, and compromised to a degree knowing that her husband was American.
So, take Theodore, and then Italian-ize it. Teadoro. Great, now make it American. Theodore, but with an Italian pronunciation that, say, a very young child would pick up from his mother calling him that over and over again. Tee-oh-doh-re. Do-re. Dory.
… If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go press my head against the wall and scream for a few millennia.
Gahh I love this book!!!
EDIT VIA AN UPDATE: A lovely individual has pointed out that the nickname was Dora not Dory and that he was, in fact, in Europe when given that nickname, ergo it’s more a misogynistic joke (though I have also seen that it was a common shortening at the time? More research must be done) and that Laurie just hated the nickname. So take this more so as a headcanon than anything else considering I misremembered but hey! Still a neat thought!

Mist said she heard dews screams
Who orderd the transition
What was the room like when they did it was it like a operation room or just a bed
Did dew move around a lot during the transition
Sorry about how many questions I'm extremely curious
Omg pls don’t be sorry I desperately want everyone to ask in depth questions about my writing it honestly makes my absolute day like YASSS SOMEONE CARES
Imma go question by question and try and describe what’s up, hopefully in the future I can make a longer fic detailing dews transition as I did deltas
Who ordered the transition?
Terzo in both cases. After hearing the fates of water, lake and river (succumbing to their element to the point of having to be banished), he didn’t want the same fate for delta or dew. Delta was an accident, as he already decided what he wanted before anyone could stop him. Omega was ordered by Terzo to help him, fix what he could but sadly there wasn’t much to be done. This is what largely made mist scared when Terzo ordered dew’s element transition, she witnessed deltas decay.
As for dew Terzo ordered both omega and aether to transition his element, as omega had experience and aether was a trusted ghoul that he knew could do it with hopefully minimal problems. It was out of concern, he didn’t want dew to suffer from his element as he knows others did so he chose to get ahead of it, with consent from him of course.
What was the room like when they did it was it like a operation room or just a bed
It took place in the infirmary, so imagine a hospital room. Not like an operation room as I believe the transition is almost entirely magic based, no physical tools needed. But I imagine the transition happening in a hospital room by omega and aether at his sides.
Did dew move around a lot during the transition
Warning for this question as I’ll be describing dew in pain
He tried, he was held down by quintessence to ensure nothing went wrong. I think it was a painful process, having to force the fire magic in while pulling the water out. I think it’s a process of one of them forcing it into his veins as the other takes the water out. I really don’t think it was easy on him. Especially aether having to remove his gills, pulling tissue over them to get rid of them.
It doesn’t last long though, a day at most. The rest of the time was recovery and to make sure he was ok, and to get ahead of any issues if they were to pop up. I imagine he stayed in the infirmary for about two weeks.
I hope this helps explain things!

I need to know your thoughts…do you think teiflings knot?
OKOKOKOK I know about this headcanon! The rut/heat hc is an equally honorable mention.
I did not include them in my tieflings headcanon post because I don't personally subscribe to it, especially when writing tiefling content of my own
at the same time, i LOVE these headcanons and I EAT THAT SHIT UP when I see posts including them (my favorite two being by my pookie @viennacherries, one & two) It's so hot and carnal I love it so much UGH
I know it's kind of weird that I love reading content that includes the knotting hc but don't include it in my personal tielfing hc's! Hopefully this makes sense :)))

You have the best art ever!!:)
Who are some of your favorite people in DC n whose costumes are your favorites?
Thank you very much for the comment, you're very sweet :(
I will make a top 10 for each because I refuse to make decisions >:)
Favorite people in DC!!:
Cassandra Cain
Donna Troy
John Constantine
Batman
Superman (He makes me cry all the time)
Robotman (Doom Patrol in general)
Ted Kord
Booster Gold
Two-Face
The Penguin (Half-ironically. But I got into a whole controversy on tiktok because I said he looked hot in the 2009 cartoon. Cowards!!)
Favorite costumes!!:
1. Classic Nightshade is simple but bad-ass. She reminds me of Garnet with the glasses.
Tumblr media
2. Donna Troy's sparkly suit...I love it it's so pretty
Tumblr media
3. Raven's white suit and her classic design is one I hold very dearly. I miss it so much..
Tumblr media
4. Bruno Redondo's Nightwing suit with the finger stripes. Though I adore Discowing, I believe that it's a good adaptation that keeps it simple yet classic.
Tumblr media
5. Catwoman's gray suit for Batman/Catwoman is mwa! chef kiss.
Tumblr media
6. In all metal realness Jean Paul Valley's Batman is lovely. I feel that many suits these days have too many all-over-the-place details. This suit is a great example of a convoluted design with intention.
Tumblr media
7. This is possibly one of my favorite designs EVER. The reaper is just so !!!! No words, I can't even
Tumblr media
8. Damian's new Robin suit is probably one of the favorite updates to a suit I have seen. It's so refreshing and just fitting for his personality...love it
Tumblr media
9. Fire's all-green look is something I quite really adore. I love how they've kept the classic design and look...can you tell I love classic superhero constumes??
Tumblr media
10. No words

Akashi for 1, 3, 8, 12, 15, 18, 19, 21 for the character ask game please!
why would you give me the hardest one ever. do you hate me. be honest.
from this
why do you like or dislike this character?
okay, more importantly, why wouldn't i like him. i just think what i want to say has already been said so now i have no idea how to answer this. uh, i think liking akashi came as a pretty big surprise for me though in retrospect i shouldn't have been surprised - he's intelligent and tortured, and i love that combination in a character. like oh, you possess precognition and competence to predict / secure future outcomes but even then, no amount of striving will ever free you from your own fate? you've been running your whole life without knowing what from and where to because you've known no other option? you're revered by your peers and you want to care for them but your own needs disgust you so you'll never be able to expect reciprocity for all your love because you feel ashamed by your own wanting? you've lost touch with what it means to be a person because you've been forced to be a prodigy your whole life? you choke on your words because you've never taken a real breath and don't know how to be vulnerable in a way that doesn't defy the ideals you've grown up with? wonderful, i'm keeping you. also i think i just picked him up like a wet cat and decided to never let him go.
3. least favourite canon thing about this character?
erm, i think i speak for everyone when i say the scissors scene was really unnecessary. but i've never made a point of appreciating the writing in knb so this is unsurprising. like you can't give him the symptoms of already highly stigmatised disorders (osdd, npd) and then write him doing something like that. but it's a can of worms i really don't want to open. either ways, i have mixed feelings about the scene because on one hand, it could have been an excellent opening to discuss how life experiences can be so debilitating and mental illnesses / disorders have the capacity to damage world views and perceptions of morality. (everyone wants to be pro mental health until the disorders in question result in behaviours that defy conventional morality and disrupt the social order.) but this is a sports animanga so i really think the scene shouldn't have been there AT ALL because this is too big a discussion to be covered in a basketball manga. the mangaka bit off more than he could chew with this one, tbh, but trust me if i'd written knb i would have done this better.
he is just a kid, he should have been having sleepovers with his friends and eating ice cream after games to celebrate with his team. i will never hold it against him either because if kuroko "violence isn't the answer" tetsuya and the others didn't report him, they are all culpable. if the social order and morality of a situation is that important to someone and they refuse to stand up for it when it matters, they are equally to blame when things fall apart without consequence. but what do i know lol.
8. what's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
okay, i'll be honest i don't mingle in fandom spaces because i've realised that it genuinely affects me when my faves are mischaracterised or perceived differently from the way i do. i just stay out of fandom spaces and i'm not very active in interacting with other people unless we've been mutuals for a while and i trust their judgement. so i wouldn't know. i just know if anyone did anything with akashi that i despise i would delete my social media and disappear into a cave. and i'm being serious i don't think my ego could survive this.
but well, i don't like people calling him psychotic / psychopathic or writing him to fit their yandere fantasies (i have unfortunately stumbled upon too many of those things in the tags). he is just a kid, he was going through a tough time managing grief and abandonment and impossible standards. leave him alone. LEAVE HIM ALONE. ugh. i usually scroll, mute, or block (or all three), but this has happened with so many of my faves already and the way people perceive these traits also directly affects the way they treat others in real life who exhibit these traits and it's very often that malicious intent is directed to those who are simply a product of their circumstances rather than the system that created these issues / the responsible figures in their life that failed them. but that's too meta. whatever. you get my point.
12. what's a headcanon you have for this character?
i feel like i'm really alone in this and it's not a specific headcanon but i think akashi is clumsy and kind of messy by nature, he's just working full-time to make sure he's achieved the image of perfection everyone assumes of him. sure he's a basketball prodigy and trained equestrian and he's athletic etc. etc. but i think he can be awkward and messy at times. i just desperately don't want him to be perfect outside of those two things. i desperately want him to be a little awkward and messy.
he doesn't know how to eat stick ice cream because it drips everywhere and makes him nervous. his teeth hurt when he drinks / eats anything cold. when he's wearing full-sleeves he somehow always manages to stain his cuffs even when it doesn't seem humanly possible, but he's gotten good at being able to remove them. he has to rehearse an entire conversation in his head before he actually engages someone, but he's taken speech and elocution classes (courtesy of his dad) so it compensates for when he trips up to make it look natural and smooth. he's just always trying, trying, trying. and maybe for once he wants someone to call him out on all this effort and tell him, hey it's okay to screw up something or the other. but of course he never asks.
also he cries when he gets frustrated but never in front of other people. he spends a lot of energy on regulating himself when he has to be present for others so he doesn't process anything until he's on his own and it all hits him at once. and it can be the smallest of things. bus came late on a rainy day? he's in the back seat, holding back tears all the way to his destination. he raised his hand but he answered a question wrong in class? his face is burning and he has to excuse himself to the washroom to breathe or cry or both. he got 99 on a test? he cries because he's sick of feeling relief over accomplishments that should be bringing him joy. just like a few tears. i don't think he's every full-on bawled about anything. maybe one day he'll have the opportunity to do so without feeling ashamed of himself. praying for that
15. what's your favourite ship for this character?
i don't really think about ships that much unless it's in queerplatonic way, which then begs me to answer that i like every akashi ship where he's loved and treated as someone worth caring for rather than a symptom that needs to be managed.
i was a huge akakise fan for a while simply because they both have similar problems. hear me out on this. kise and akashi both struck me as people desperate for connection but kise has been made to doubt the realness of his connections (because of how deceiving and opportunistic people have been in trying to be his friend for status) and akashi has grown up believing he doesn't deserve any kind of connection unless he's fought and earned it (because he's only ever gotten praised by his dad, without ever believing he's loved). i think they'd make a nice pair, romantically or platonically or otherwise. i love akakise, and i will die on this hill and go down with this ship or whatever the kids these days say.
18. how about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
anything with rakuzan. do i have to elaborate. i love them so bad. i can't even talk about it. whatever akashi shares with the rest of rakuzan is so sacred and important to the community.
19. how about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?
errrrrrrrrr... i don't know. i don't spend a lot of time thinking about things that i don't like.
maybe anything during teiko era with akashi and the rest of the team but it's not that i dislike it. i just think it is unfortunate that whether or not akashi had known they had faith in him, it wouldn't have exempted him from feeling abandoned. it was a very sad time for all of them, so i dislike everything about it.
21. if you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favourite thing to do when you're writing for this character? what's something you don't like?
i haven't written much for akashi tbh, or i haven't written as much as i'd like to but i have written exactly (1) character study fic for him and my favourite part was trying to bare his inner world to the readers through excessive use of metaphors. i love introspection a lot and i think it works well to reveal that akashi is just scared and vulnerable but overcompensating for that by affecting an air of neatness and certainty. i love that stuff. i would also love to explore his shame a lot more - i think shame is a constant companion for him, because he's ashamed of his own failings, he's ashamed of his own needs and he's ashamed of his own personhood, and i think he's also ashamed of the way he's turned out to be because of his dad, he may even be ashamed of his dad and his family name, and then he might be ashamed of feeling ashamed. i think if i ever write him again the cycle of shame will take the front lines. so we will see
if you've made it this far, thank you for reading. i hope you liked watching me be crazy.

Have you got any song recommendations?
(Because you have good music taste! <3)
AHHH this is the HIGHEST HONOUR!!!
I'll give you a couple random ones of different vibes so you can pick depending on the mood!
affection by between friends (such a good slow motion driving in the rain to avoid your feelings song)
sunflower by michele leigh (a bop that's just emotional enough to get you to connect with it but not so emotional that it takes you to dark dark places)
a complete list of fears age 5 - 28 (aprox) by the yellow dress (so wonderfully weird with just the right emotional tinge)
vroom vroom by mickey darling (just an amazing fuck u and all ur friends song)
i love you like an alcoholic by the taxpayers (giving smoking a cigarette outside a shitty bar at 2am vibes)
I hope you enjoy!!

re: tattoos
are you thinking about getting anything stargate related in the future?
yes absolutely!! i've already got a frog-themed john and rodney tattoo designed courtesy of @the-mushroom-faerie that i'm going to get as soon as i have the money (it was going to be my birthday present to myself but im broke lmao) also i'd have to find an artist that could do it but i really want to get an active stargate with a glowing zpm in watercolour done on either my thigh or my shoulder blade idk which yet! i've also recently been toying with the idea of getting a point of origin symbol somewhere like my ankle or behind my ear (probably behind my ear bc i already have 2 ankle tattoos) also there's a tumblr user (i wanna say @alienfuckeronmain but i might be misremembering and i apologize if i am) who has some stargate flash tattoos that i am in LOVE with and would LOVE to get one day if finances allow it!

A little late to the party, but you asked for asks and you shall receive.
What is a fic you'd like to read again for the first time?
Asks are great — and this is a fun one! 🥳
I’m going to answer with the first fic that popped into my head: take it easy baby, make it last all night by @missparker. I had no idea where this Kathryn Janeway/Tom Paris story was going, and I loved every minute of it. At least one chapter dropped over a weekend because my kids were being naughty and it could help to put them in the car, so I remember trying to read snatches of the new chapter at red lights.
Ahhh, thank you for asking, @wheresmybloodynauglamir! ❤️

too shy to come off anon but Connor Hawke? 5, 15 and 18?
please do come off anon especially if you want to talk about the arrows
5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?
I have an entire playlist for Connor but the first that comes to mind is I of the Storm by Of monsters and men. Lots of songs by them have Connor vibes.
15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)
ConnorKyle! They're just perfect for each other. I love how they meet each other and immediately start trauma dumping. I love how they just *get* each other. I would love to see how a relationship would develop considering Kyle's baggage and Connor's sexuality. I think they're perfect for each other in every way.
18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?
Connor and Eddie, I miss them so fucking much. I love how Eddie stepped up and parented Connor from the get-go, even before Ollie died. Eddie just dropped everything if Connor asked and Connor was fully content to trust and rely on Eddie. I miss them together but also I'm afraid of what DC current canon would do to them (probably nothing interesting)

What's the story behind the ocs you drew for kiss week? Like their story I mean :>
So I have another character that is, let's say, the protagonist of their story...
She's a princess and she needs to prove herself worthy by passing some tests. Her kingdom and another one (the one the orc guy is from) are going to form an alliance, but they've been at war for decades, so the orc has been assigned to test her.
The redhead is her teacher (like teaching her strategy, fighting lessons...) and also her bodyguard, so he's going to go with her in case the orc tries to kill the princess.
At one point the princess finds out another princess she knows and loves (childhood friends to lovers) has disappeared (got possessed by a goddess) so she escapes and then the teachers have to find her because they can get in trouble if their respective kingdoms find out they lost her.
So yeah, at first they hate each other (kingdoms being at war) but then time passes and they fall in love💖💏
I'm ashamed to say that I don't remember their names and I have to find my old sketchbooks to see if I wrote them down somewhere XD
Also, I drew the princess years ago too with her girl (at least they have names)
