You mentioned is one of your WIP posts about how the Richmond coaches share repairability of the players, I would love to hear your thoughts on who belongs to who?

Not only do I have thoughts, I have a whole chart.

The way this works in my mind is that it's a combination of how helpful the coach actually is when the player has a problem, how likely to player is to go to the coach for help and how well they get along just as people.

We'll start with Roy. Roy's only got a couple of players that are really his problem, for a couple reasons. One, Roy is scary and unapproachable but also two, Roy became a coach after most of the players had already cemented themselves as either Ted or Beards problems. That leaves Roy with Isaac and Jamie.

Jamie as Roy's problem is self explanatory. Ted fumbles the bag with Jamie every time he tries, and Beard kind of freaks Jamie out, so he doesn't usually go to him for help. We all agree Jamie is Roy's problem.

Isaac is also Roy's problem. This has canon basis, I can cite my sources but for convenience sake I'll paraphrase my reasoning and that is that Roy was a lot more instrumental to Isaacs development than any of the other coaches. Roy is the one who chose Isaac as the next captain, it was Roy who helped Isaac through his slump in season two before Roy had even come back to be a coach, and it was Roy who spoke to Isaac after he went after that fan in the stands. Isaac is Roy's problem.

Next we'll talk about Beard. Beard in canon doesn't have a lot of one on one interaction with any of the players, so I'm going mostly on vibes for the players that are his problem.

That's why Bumbercatch is mainly Beards problem. I think their weird girl energies line up pretty well, and when Bumbercatch is doing weird things Ted doesn't know how to handle, Beard is usually able to step in. Jan Maas is also mostly Beards problem, because Jan Maas appreciates Beards direct but minimal approach to coaching.

Colin is also a good balance of Ted's problem and Beard's problem with a slight lean towards being Beards problem. Not because Colin actually goes to Beard for help that often, more because Beard decided Colin was his problem and keeps an eye on him when he can. I was actually tempted to make a little circle that included Trent and put Colin there, because that is who Colin actually goes too for help more often than not, but in terms of The Coaches, Colin is usually Beards problem.

Zoreaux and Richard were tricky for me, because they don't do a lot in canon so I think they both fall under the general umbrella of being Ted's problem because he's the manager more often than not, but I think Beard is pretty involved with the goal keepers so Zoreaux is his problem sometimes.

As for Ted, he will usually take point in issues regarding Dani or Sam. As the manager, everyone on the team is under the blanket umbrella of being his problem, but Sam and Dani will usually seek Ted specifically out for help with things on the occasions they need it and Ted is always be happy to help them to the best of his ability.

As for all the background himbos, they fall solidly in the center thanks to the fact that because they have at best vague personalities and I don't even know most of their names, so they're usually the problem of whoever is closest to them at the time.

I hope you enjoyed this because I spend So Much Time thinking about it.

Dincember Day 8: Flame

Word Count: 2303 Rating: General Summary: A fire pit outside your little cabin on Nevarro has always been a dream of yours. So, when Din finally agrees to build one, you are delighted, especially when he secures your favourite sweet treats too. But it's Din's first time roasting candy on a campfire and things don't exactly go to plan... Content Warnings: A himbo is momentarily left unattended around a naked flame. Author's note: I guess with the word flame, this prompt could have gone in many directions. (Un)fortunately(??) there's just something about making Din a clumsy himbo that I enjoy a lot and I hope you did too!I really want to build a campfire of my own now! (Also there was no canonical name that I could find for marshmallows in Star Wars canon so pillow candy is what I went with!)

Link to read on AO3 | My Dincember Masterlist

Despite the fact that Nevarro was a volcanic planet – meaning that it typically had a hot climate – when the sun set and night fell, the temperature soon dropped. With that in mind, combined with the festive season, that Din had decided that a fire pit would be a perfect addition to the land just outside your cabin. Din had insisted that he would construct it, so you spent the day entertaining Grogu inside the cabin and waiting for the fire pit to be built. There was always something slightly magical about fires to you: the warmth they generated, the flickering lights and, depending on the ignition source, the crackling of the logs. Building a fire pit was a suggestion that you had made to Din a while ago after you had first moved in. But it was something you had almost forgotten about until he randomly brought it up that morning.

You were lying on your stomach on the floor in the main room of the cabin, playing with Grogu and the wooden blocks he had been given as an early Life Day gift. You and Din couldn’t resist spoiling him with presents; he was simply too precious to resist with his big brown eyes. The blocks had numbers painted on them and you were attempting to teach Grogu how to count. He still couldn’t verbalise properly, besides his little babbles, but you got the sense that he understood the galaxy around him on a deeper level, even if he could not explain that fact to you and Din.

You were so engrossed in your task that you didn't even notice Din standing at the door, watching the two of you proudly, until he cleared his throat by way of alerting you to his presence.

“Hi, Din,” You smiled, admiring your favourite Mandalorian in all of his Beskar’gam glory as he leant against the entryway, looking impossibly handsome, without even showing his face. “Taking a break?” You enquired.

Din nodded, “It’s getting hot out there,” he said as he removed his helmet. “Came in for a cool glass of water, but I couldn’t stop watching the two of you.”

“Aw,” You smiled, feeling your cheeks warm at the sentiment, “Just trying to teach the kiddo some numbers.” You nodded towards Grogu who beamed happily, clearly delighted at getting your undivided attention while his buir constructed the fire pit outside.

“I could see that,” Din smiled proudly as he set his helmet down on the kitchen counter as he poured himself a glass of water. “Thank you for being so patient with him.”

“Of course,” You nodded, looking proudly at the little green child who you both adored. “He’s worth it.”

Din exited the kitchen and dropped a gentle kiss on the top of your head as he came and sat next to the pair of you as he took a break from the hot Nevarrian sun to enjoy a cool glass of water. Din picked Grogu up and placed him on his lap gently; the child gave a delighted coo at finally being close to his father once more.

“How’s the fire pit coming along?” You asked, although you knew Din was determined that it would be a surprise.

“It’s getting there,” Din said, grunting slightly as he stretched his legs out. You knew that he wasn’t getting any younger and knowing that he wanted to go out of his way to do manual labour to create something for you warmed your heart. “Just a couple more hours, then it’ll be ready to go. I thought we could roast some sweet treats over it tonight.”

“That sounds perfect!” You said enthusiastically, smirking at the way Grogu’s ears perked up at the mention of food, particularly candy. “I can’t wait to see what it’ll be like when you’ve finished.”

“I hope you like it,” Din said as he drained the last drops of cool water from his glass.

“I’m sure I will,” You nodded. The two of you sat quietly for a few moments, just appreciating each other’s company.

“Right, I better get back to it,” Din finally broke the silence as he handed Grogu back to you. You pulled the little child close and kissed his cheek softly, sensing his discomfort at being parted from his father once more. Even though Din was only working a few clicks away outside and you were showering him with plenty of attention, you knew how much Grogu missed his father whenever Din was gone, even just a short distance.

Despite how isolated your home was, Din placed his helmet on, as he always did when leaving the cabin in daylight. You watched him leave and then recommenced your task of entertaining Grogu, trying to cheer the little guy up by promising him all the sweet treats that you would be able to roast over the fire that night.

The sensation against your cheek confused you at first. It was a strange texture, it felt as though you were being tickled by a bristly comb. It took your sleep-addled brain a few seconds to catch up as your eyelids fluttered open to realise that the culprit was not a comb but was, in fact, Din. He was pressing gentle kisses all over your face in a bid to wake you up from the slumber that you had apparently fallen into on the couch as you cuddled Grogu close to your chest. You remembered lying down after the afternoon had been replaced by evening when the sun had set and Din had still not completed his little construction project. Grogu had been in need of a nap and entertaining a small child all by yourself had been a surprisingly draining task and you had apparently joined him.

“Hi,” You said sleepily, as you took in the sight of Din kneeling by your side so he was level with you on the couch.

“Hi, sleepyhead,” Din replied, raising an eyebrow teasingly. “It’s tiring work, entertaining Grogu.”

“It is,” You purred as you stretched out, finding your muscles fatigued from the awkward position you had fallen asleep in. “Are you finished?” You asked, desperate to know the status of the fire pit.

“Why don’t you come take a look, cyare?” Din said, the way he said your nickname made something inside you flutter.

You handed Grogu to Din and then stood up from the couch, following him outside and into the dark, Nevarrian night. You couldn’t wait to see what Din had crafted after all the hours he had spent outside, hard at work. As you rounded the corner of the cabin, the unmistakable warm glow of a burning campfire came into view; you practically squealed in delight, excited to see the creation up close.

You followed Din as he approached the fire pit, appreciating the broadness of his shoulders from your vantage point, even in the restricted light. As you got closer to the fire pit, you noticed how Din had dug it into the ground and positioned a couple of logs, constructed out of tree trunks on either side of it. The actual pit itself appeared to be made of metal of some kind and you noticed excitedly how Din had already started a fire, using some more logs as fuel.

“What do you think?” Din asked, brown eyes meeting yours with a hint of nervousness as he hoped that you were as satisfied with his handiwork as he hoped you would be.

“Din, it’s incredible,” You smiled, “And the benches too… I wasn’t expecting them! This is impressive for just one day of work.”

“Well, I can’t fully take credit for that,” Din admitted with a shrug, “Greef actually gave them to me, he helped me to position them today. But I’m glad you like it.”

“I love it,” You corrected, placing your hand around his waist and kissing his cheek gently. “Just as much as I love you.”

Din snorted happily at your sentiment and you stood there, silently admiring him for a few minutes as the flickering of the fire illuminated his handsome features with a healthy orange glow.

“I didn’t even show you the best part,” Din said as he nodded pointedly towards one of the benches. You noticed now a few silhouettes that you had missed before, there was something resting on them that you had missed.

Your heart leapt as you approached them and realised that Din had kept his promise to you, of roasting sweet treats on the fire. There was stormfruit candy, brilliant blue Tepasi taffy and your favourite to roast on the fire: pillow candy. Din had even secured some skewers for the pillow candy so that you could roast them on the fire.

“I even managed to secure some Wookiee-ookiees,” Din said, nodding to a packet of cookies, “Greef told me they’re kind of a Life Day tradition.”

“Din, I haven’t had these for years! This is an incredible selection, thank you.” You said gratefully as Din looked at you, clearly proud at how excited you were.

You took a seat on the log next to the sweet treats, Din sat right next to you, Grogu on his lap. You felt a warmth spread through you, not just from the fire, at the sensation of your bodies brushing against each other. You set about skewering the pillow candies and then handing them to Din so he could begin roasting them on the fire, much to the delight of the excitable child on his knee.

You assumed that the man who was such a skilled and experienced hunter, who had constructed an entire fire pit in only a few hours would be trustworthy enough to leave unattended around a flame. But then you had clearly overestimated Din’s familiarity with roasting candy over a fire. As you looked away to continue placing the fluffy white pillow candy on the rest of the skewers, ready to be placed in the fire, a strange smell wafted into your nostrils.

It was so sweet-smelling that, at first, you did not register the danger. But when you heard a concerned whine from Grogu, your head turned sharply towards the little boy.

Then everything seemed to happen in slow motion. You first noticed Din’s expression: his eyes widened in horror as he glanced towards the fire. Then, you noticed the flame. Where there had once been a pillow candy, there was now nothing but an orange glow. You didn’t have time to react, before Din dropped the skewer to the ground with a yelp. But despite his quick reflexes, he had clearly forgotten about his cape. The tattered material was so long that it trailed onto the floor beside the bench.

Before you could react and properly take in the situation, Din had already shoved Grogu into your lap. Then, your favourite Mandalorian was sprinting through the Nevarrian night, his burning cape blazing a brilliant trail behind him as he ran towards the front of the cabin.

You just made it around the corner just in time to catch the splash, as Din threw himself into the same pond where Grogu liked to sit and levitate his frogs.

“DIN?!” You called out, feeling slightly panicked when you lost sight of him for a moment. But your heartrate soon returned to normal when you noticed the familiar glint of his armour amongst the ripples of the water.

“I’m okay, cyare,” Din replied, slightly breathless. “I may… have overcooked the candy slightly.”

“Oh, just slightly?�� You teased as you approached the pond and pulled him out of it with one hand, grunting slightly at the exertion.

“I would’ve been fine if I wasn’t wearing a cape,” Din huffed.

“Yeah, it was the cape’s fault,” You said sarcastically, rolling your eyes at this ridiculous man, as you pulled him out of the shallow pond. You thanked your lucky stars that it wasn’t a deep body of water so at least the idiot couldn’t drown himself, too.

Grogu whined concernedly at all the fuss, Din moved to take him into his arms to reassure him. As the adrenaline of the situation wore off, the reality of being soaking wet in the cold, Nevarrian night set in and Din’s teeth began chattering.

“Come on, let’s head back to the fire,” You said, looping your arm through Din’s, wincing slightly as you felt how wet he was. “You’ll soon warm up. Probably best if you leave the rest of the candy roasting to me, though.” You joked.

So, that was exactly what Din did, he patiently watched you take charge of the candy-roasting duties. Fortunately, he warmed up in no time at all beside the fire and you soon introduced him to a delicious combination: roasted pillow candy sandwiched between two Wookiee-ookiees.

Despite the mishap, the remainder of the sweet feast was a resounding success. Your heart was full of festive cheer and appreciation for Din taking the time to indulge you in something that you had wished for ever since you had discovered how cold nights on Nevarro could get.

Much later, when Din had dried off, the fire had died down and was reduced to only the last crackling embers, you sat there, head resting on Din’s shoulder, feeling completely content and honoured that he had gone to such trouble to indulge you in one of your favourite traditions. You were convinced there was something magical in the air between the two of you, or perhaps it was the amount of sugar you had consumed. Regardless, despite the earlier peril, as you sat there next to Din, you thought there was something truly beautiful about fire.

Even if the very same fire had almost set your Clan alight, thanks to Din being a little too nonchalant around the flame.

Hello! I recently found your account, and I went on scrolling down and down...and now I hope you know how grateful I am. Thank u- Merci. About 90% of the content you share here has made me feel so much better. I realllyy hope wonderful things happen for you. I've been a fan of hp since 2001, but I'm not really a social media person so I haven't been active in the fandom. I had no idea what was happening here until recently..two months ago to be exact (other details are not important) and omg.. I ended up in a discussion with some I think, new fans. tbh I thought, "Great! I'm good at this, I read all the books more than once Let's talk :)" and omg their very first question was "What do you think about Regulus?"

I was like, "Who?" *dying from secondhand embarrassment bc It turns out I'm not that good at this

but as the discussion continued, I became more and more baffled bc "Why was everyone talking about Barty, Evan, and Regulus? who is daddy Remu? and what do you mean people ship James Potter with R.A.B.? What?"

I swear for a moment I thought "Did the writer publish a new book? Did I miss something? " tbh, I respect everyone's opinion it's none of my business but I'm still shocked. The only thing that bothers me is everything that happened with this new Wolfsar

omg, for most fans around my age (or at least people I know), Sirius was the complete portrayal of a bad boy- a rebel, with boots, tattoos, a leather jacket, and a fucking motorcycle. so this new Sirius is like a stranger to me, and that's okay. Mein issue is kinda with this new Remus T T my beloved .

They (the fans I was talking with) told me Remus is "tall, so handsome, SO strong, and hot-headed person because, yk he's a werewolf." I was like "hot headed? excuse me?" I tried to explain to them that Remus being a werewolf is a metaphor for illnesses like HIV, it's not some superpowery gift. they didn't believe me, but then they literally looked me in the face and said, "Then why would Sirius like someone like him? He's poor, short, and ugly." I swear I wanted to cry right then and there.

What is this mindset that makes some people think that a person should be, Idk, hot and flawless to deserve to be loved? Yes I don't think Remus is tall and super hot and perfect and isn't it fine? and I am 100% sure he's so beautiful. not like Sirius ofc but he has this "warm, cozy, and soft" sort of beauty. and I don't think he was a coward (ok maybe he was a liitle) but I guess it's easier for us, humans, to take the worst or weakest moment of a character and amplify it until it defines them entirely. and omg I'm so sorry for my rant and my bad english. but once again thank you for your beautiful soul <3 thank you

Hi anon! I, too, am baffled by the recent obsession with Regulus in this fandom. I think Jegulus is fine as a crack ship, but it has become so mainstream that many fans have just gone ahead and canonized it to the point that you'll be vilified for not accepting it as canon. I underestimated how popular the "best friend's brother" trope was, apparently. I also think it appeals to many fans as a Marauders Era version of one of the most popular ships of all time, Drarry.

This new version of Wolfstar is my biggest complaint with today's fandom, too! I get that the Marauders have very limited canon information and therefore we have more creative freedom to flesh them out, but I really believe that it has gone way too far. Sirius and Remus in today's fandom don't bear any resemblance to the characters they're based on. Remus is just a generic alpha werewolf OC and Sirius is his generic himbo femboy love interest OC. They don't even share a physical description with their Canon counterparts, and their personalities and character traits are so far removed that I can't even fathom how we reached this point as a fandom. How can you claim to like these characters if you have to change everything the source material says about them?

You're English is great, by the way! I completely agree that Remus has a cozy-and-warm sort of beauty. He made a point to distance himself from the stigma surrounding Lycanthropy because it was the focal point of his shame and self-loathing. And I just adore Wolfstar's dynamic from this lens, with the intimidatingly beautiful, confident, headstrong Sirius Black, who could have his pick of anyone he wants, choosing this ordinary guy because he's cozy and soft and it's exactly what Sirius wants after surviving the harsh ideals and abuse of House Black.

no fear response, and more that it’s been turned nearly all of the way down.

I headcanon that it’s a similar situation with their feelings of romance or sex. That it’s not completely gone, but that it’s nullified just enough for them, under the right circumstances (a.k.a never truly interacting with baseline humans), to not feel those feelings ever. Because you can’t have your killing machines questioning their loyalty and running off with some mortal, right?

So I this brings me to the thought that a space marine can feel romantic or sexual feelings, it’s just that it’s probably got to be under some very specific circumstances. And that most of them would have no idea what to do when they get a crush on someone. Yes they’re grown adults but new emotion?? New emotion that is affection??? Affection that isn’t platonic or familial?!! Confusion!!!!

Cue a bunch of different reactions to this. Ranging from trying to impress their object of affection by showing off how well they can fight (“Check out how strong I am!” “Well yeah, you’re a space marine.” “Oh… right.”), to deciding to avoid them completely, or being weirdly obsessive/possessive of them because they never want to lose the person that made them feel this way, or getting angry at the baseline human for distracting them from their duties (even though they probably didn’t even realise the space marine had feelings for them), perhaps even deciding to do what they do best and bringing their human trophies of the enemies/heretics/xenos they killed like some kind of giant catboy.

Space marine: 7 years ago I had a crush on a serf in my chapter and I didn’t know how to deal with it, so I wrote her a letter that just said “leave this place immediately”

(first part of the ask because dumblr cut it off)

Putting this ask on my fridge because you understood the fucking assignment.

Astartes start their transformation at around 10-13, so basically their entire formative years are taken away from them. How are you expected to know what a crush is or love or really any complex emotion if you’re too busy having a bakers dozen of extra organs shoved in you and running through the Tunnel of Terror?

'Yeah I didn't have a girlfriend I was too busy getting acid spit'

I imagine that having to deal with an Astartes who's figuring out how an entire array of emotions work is going to be, a handful. He ends up knocking someones lights out while sparring just to show off, or you end up with the hide of an entire Tyranid Warrior. What do you say to that? Thanks? Them being hyper vigilant of you being around other Astartes, almost obsessively. Also all this depends heavily on the chapter. It would probably be much easier with a White Scar, Lamenter( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), Ultramarine, or Blood Angel( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) than an Imperial Fist, World Eater, or Black Templar (I love my wall husbands but their heads are filled with concrete).

[PENDING COMFIRMATION LOL] And, some of this is actually canon! In a book, a space Marine thinks about how weird he feels when looking at an attractive young woman who’s a refugee they saved. I KNOW this is a thing but I cannot remember the source so I’m going to try and find it. I believe he was a blood angel. If I can't find it please take all this with a grain of salt.

And anyone who manages to land themself an Astartes BF pretty much got themself the himbo to end all himbos. Because while Astartes are super smart and have crazy fast reflexes, they’re fucking dumb as rocks in other regards. (Examples being any emotion that isn’t anger or respecting your superiors, stupid infighting between chapters, Talos Valcoran)

Also in the 41st millenium they’re pretty much mildly worshiped as 'angels', so you have a literal trophy husband. Congrats. Please keep him on a leash the guardsmen are very scared and he has no trigger discipline.

#Misty's book club #at the end of the day it comes down to a human/Astarte relationship being the -he don't bite- -YES HE DO- meme

💙 happy not knowing by plonk

💙 happy not knowing

by plonk

not rated, 16k, wangxian

Summary: The cultivation world is rebuilding from the wreckage of the Sunshot Campaign, but Wangji and his shield brother Wei Wuxian are still completely attached at the hip. It is sad that Lan Xichen’s brother is stuck in the youthful pattern of - ah, no polite way to say it: exchanging handjobs with his shield brother - rather than moving on to more adult pursuits. On the other hand, now that the war is over, Wangji does seem so much more open and happy than he was as a boy. He smiles sometimes, mostly at Wei Wuxian. Once, he even took an afternoon off. So Lan Xichen can let Wangji’s closeness with his shield brother lie for a time, while he finishes maturing.

Mojo's comments: in which Lan Xichen is... astronomically oblivious to his brother's complete state of being very married. To Wei Ying. His husband. Whom he married. And has a child. That they co-parent. Because they are married. And also having enthusiastic sex at the waterfall. And the hot springs. And their own home. And sometimes on random pathways. But sure, Lan Xichen. They're just sworn shield brothers who exchange a random handjob, while resolutely imagining the soft and beautiful woman they'll someday be married to. They'll grow out of it. I finished this story laughing loud enough to disturb my cat.

Kay's comments: Hehe, this story is always a delight to re-read! A beautiful twist on the whole Lan Xichen is the one person who can read his brother and knows about his infatuation with Wei Wuxian. No, no, here, instead, Lan Xichen is the one person who just doesn't get it, because he doesn't really get gay people? Like, he's the most straight person who ever existed and it's not even malicious, he even exchanged friendly handjobs with Nie Mingjue during the war, but to do that for life? No thanks, bro, no homo. Ah, this is just so much fun.

Excerpt: On the front, they share a tent. The war is bitter. Grueling. They don’t ever do the weird shield brothers thing where you jack one another off while staring into opposite corners of the tent. Lan Zhan is much too dignified, and Wei Wuxian doesn’t see the point. Instead, they skip straight to actual fucking. The first time is late at night. Wei Wuxian is a shameless drunk, and it just kind of… happens. It’s heady and intense, because it feels like the world is fucking ending around them - they’re at war, after all. The second time comes the next morning, when Wei Wuxian tries to brush it off, and Lan Zhan doesn’t let him. Turns out that Lan Zhan is shameless sober. Their third time is later that very same evening. So late it might be morning. Wei Wuxian doesn’t know they’re for real until that one. The first time, he was shocked that it was happening at all. The second time, he was confused. Wondering what it meant, instead of thinking about what they meant to each other. But the third time, it clicks. Lan Zhan grabs his chin hard and bites his lower lip. “Look into my eyes when you come,” he growls.

Excerpt²: The child who arrived with Wangji and Wei Wuxian following the conclusion of the war is a source of some confusion for Lan Xichen. It is not of grave importance, of course, but Lan Xichen does not… understand. Exactly. Whose baby A-Yuan is. The baby has to be a Wen, right? Do Wei Wuxian and Wangji even know? They appear unworried. No one seems as confused by the situation as Lan Xichen is.

barbie

look i’m gonna pull out my barbie obsession real quick to say something.

i can’t stand when people are like “MaRGOt RoBBIE is too old to play barbie” “RyAN gOSling is too old to be ken in the live action movie”.

canonically barbie has held over 150 careers in her life time, including being the president of the united states which means she is at least 35 (source: barbie life in the dream house).

so margot being 32 and ryan being 42 is not too far off.

anyway thanks for listening to my rant.

i cannot wait to see what they will do with these characters like I cannot even comprehend the extent of how excited i am. margot and ryan and greta (and all the other amazing cast members, crew and costume teams) are gonna kill it.

i mean the trailer speaks for itself.

the promise of seeing barbie be the bad bitch she is and ken being a classic himbo on july 21 2023 is the only thing getting me through this semester of school.

11, 26, 29, 37 >:)

thank you for the (very opinion-based al;gjakgjaskdgj) asks :)

11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated:

a. Never really got the mafia AU appeal? Nothing against it, but I won't seek fics out with that one.

b. If this is a safe space, found family is great but it's getting a bit oversaturated in both canon and fanon spaces for me recently. I enjoy it if a character's dynamics don't get sanded down for the sake of camaraderie (canon ghost crew, bargerean jade crew, etc.), but it feels cheap to me if characters just get reduced to "mom", "dad", or (almost worse) infantlized because they got put into the "kid" slot, even as a grown adult. Goes with the himbo bastardization tbh.

c. Enemies to lovers can be fun, but too often I find that the trope can cannibalize characters' personalities (especially when a piece of media becomes a popular fandom), and there's some types of enemies where the transition to lovers just makes me deeply uncomfortable no matter what.

26. What would you describe as OOC?: Depends on the fic. I've seen a lot of posts here lately that emphasize that it's less if a character does something OOC than if an author can justify them doing that and make it believable.

I think that works for more character-focused fic, but no matter what, I tend to look for synchronicity with a character's canon tone of voice and speech patterns (something I struggle with lmao), as well as consistency with how emotionally vulnerable/expressive they'd be in a given situation. If neither of those boxes are ticked, there's a fair chance I might find it OOC.

29. What's the hardest thing about writing?: Descriptions, hands down. Trying to get the feel of a setting and certain mannerisms is something I have to consciously work in every time. Other than that, pacing, probably.

37. Do you research before writing or while you write? Is it fun or boring for you?: Again, depends on the writing. I have a few one-shots I wrote and published with almost none.

For anything that has at least a bit of proofreading, I'll try to make sure certain details are as close to right as I can get them without a canon deep-dive (I went down a rabbit hole for the Fox and Windu fic to see if light switches existed in star wars, for example; or in an upcoming fic, what ship would a First Order platoon would use to touch down on a planet), and try to get a handle on character voices by watching source material, but I don't do a ton of external research into writing technique or super nitpicky canon if I can feasibly tapdance around it.

yes hello i would like to hear your headcanons and/or your general thoughts on clyde. sorry if youve done this before i am new here :) i like ur content

anon. first of all. i lov e you. thank you. thank you so much SO........ a few hcs i have of him:

has huge himbo energy. only has 1 braincell. someone described him as having a windows screensaver bouncing around in his mind at all times. has the wii menu music playing in his head. there is just nothing going on in there.

doesnt tend to like a lot of video games but he did fall prey to the FNAF and minecraft trends. addicted to FNAF theories and lore but he only watches and consumes from all the wrong sources and none of his theories make ANY sense but will defend them rabidly

i think he’s kind of a lonely kid deep down. *craves* attention. probably dealing with grief he doesn’t fully understand and will seek attention from anyone who will give it to him (hence his addiction to going to raisins and becoming narcissistic in the list)

he is very sensitive and easily hurt and frightened. he loves to be comforted by his friends whether it be words of encouragement or touch (he loves hugs)

not a HC but canonical information that’s SO important - he is the BEST at giving hugs.

my general thoughts on him? i just think he’s neat. he’s got a good sense of morals, he’s not afraid to stand up for his friends, but yet he can also be really mean and selfish sometimes and i like the complexity of that. he also just seems to be really sweet, like the kind of person you could talk to about anything and he’d listen (though he’d be awful at giving advice, but he’d still try!) overall he’s just really cute! he’s got a lot of cute details and habits even if he’s just in the background of a scene (did you all know he’s a tummy sleeper. how goddamn adorable is that) and idk! i just like him a lot!!!!! id like to see more episodes of his dynamic with craig, they’re clearly good (maybe best) friends, but it’s something that i hope gets explored before SP eventually ends.

#kas talks #clyde #THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON THIS MADE ME GO RABID SEEING THIS IN MY INBOX

❤️🦋🔥🌧🌏⚾️🔮🍀😇💣🤩💅🏽 ✨Katha’s Long List of Proposed Creative Saiki K Shipnames ✨

Sure, smashing names together is fine, but I like creative and quirky ship names! So I have taken it upon myself to make up as many as possible…

👯‍♀️🕵️🤝👻👽😱👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨🤑💫🍜🍰🏃‍♂️

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

~Intro~ (feel free to skip ahead)

As a Saiki K fan who originally didn’t ship anything in this fandom, I have grown fond of reading fanfics with different pairings. It’s admittedly very fun to think about all of the alternate universe potential of ships. Ships go beyond canon, and explore the potential relationships and implications of one plot point happening before another, and how it could wind up impacting two people’s lives together.

I think there’s something inherently interesting about the stories fans tell about two characters and their interpersonal dynamics, and how it plays into the source material- or goes against it. It’s creative! And very cool, and I think the fandom should have more creative ship names to reflect that. I miss the days when a ship name told you something about the pairing it was referring to.

So I came up with a bunch myself, ft my silly commentary. I welcome people to propose additional names, ships or alterations, or take this entire list and copy+ paste it to workshop it/rework it themselves. Without further Ado.

-Stockholm Syndrome (i’m laughing help)

ToriKechi (Toritsuka + Akechi)

-run, don’t hide (they can locate you with ease…)

KuuAi (Kuusuke + Aiura)

HiiTeru (Hii + Teruhashi)

-Even Out

-Grace and Klutz

HiiAi (Hii + Aiura)

-Beauty and the Beast (akdjsjdj I couldn’t resist)

YuMera (Yumehara + Mera)

-Extraordinary Ordinary

postscript

I don’t even ship most of this, so I’m sure someone who did ship it would come up with something better. So please feel free.

Several of these could be called the ex-Saiki crush club. How many characters have/had a crush on saiki again? Like five, I think. Yumehara, Aiura, Teruhashi, Toritsuka (as Kuriko), and that one unnamed girl near the beginning.

Psychic Duo could apply to either SaiAi or ToriSai, Perv BF’s could be either KuTori or KuusuKoto. Some of these might be confusing, or apply to multiple pairings. Not entirely sure.

Did I miss your favorite? Tag me with the ship name + a proposed creative name and I will add it ^^

2, 5, 9 and 12 for the recent ask game, please! I wanna hear your concerns about any F/O you want to talk about! Happy Easter!!

Dude, THANK YOU. I choose my Champion Leon and fuck it, I'm going all out here.

2) On what do you disagree with other fans of your f/o?

First off: STOP CALLING HIM A HIMBO! Being bad with directions does not make a person devoid of or even defines one's intelligence, for crying out loud! Leon is an incredibly well-rounded and well-developed character and I find it so annoying how the fandom just reduces his entire character to just being bad with directions because they WANT him to be a himbo. I mean, never mind the fact that he's an adored Champion of a region, an amazing big brother to his little brother Hop, how he keeps showing up during your journey whenever an impediment or interruption occurs so you can continue your Gym Challenge without any inconveniences and he deals with the problem like the peace-keeping Champion he is, how he's a very talented battler and a showman AND is shown to be very smart and observant! Here is an incomplete list of times Leon was smart/intelligent:

He is observant enough to tell how much Hop has grown since the last time they saw each other.

He stayed Champion for 10 years. In other words, he learns from every battle he's been in just from pure observation and calculated thinking.

He literally raised Hop, by himself.

This might be just me but I think this "no sense of direction" thing Leon got going on is implied to be an act to amuse Hop (at least in the games only). I mean, Leon had no trouble finding Hop and the player in Slumbering Weald at the beginning of the game.

Second off: He's cisgender and it's canon. Evidence: He has a shirtless scene in the anime (in which not only is his chest very masculine and built but there's also no top surgery scars) and he is seen as a child several times (in which he's not a girl or referred to as one).

In other words, STOP SAYING THAT HE'S TRANS!!! This is going to blow y'all's minds but cis men can have bulging chests, too! Jesus fucking Christ, just stop, it's gross and it's fetishisation at its finest.

5) What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard about your f/o, either on the internet or irl?

Hoo boy... Two things in one, and they're both about his Sygna Suit in Pokemon Masters: Not only that it makes him gay JUST BECAUSE of how much skin it shows (so much for "clothes don't define one's sexuality, let alone gender", am I right?) but also that he "finally learned to dress himself because of how amazing it (the Sygna Suit) is". Like... Can you guys MAYBE function in this fandom without infantilising Leon and act like he can't dress himself like he's a child and not like the grown-ass adult that he is? That's fucking CREEPY AND GROSS.

9) Do you distance yourself from other fans of your f/o or their source?

Not always, but I gotta tread very lightly in this fandom as to not only stay away from all the stuff I mentioned above but also from the RaiLeon/TrueRivalShipping shippers that just dON'T TAG THEIR FUCKING SHIT.

12) Aren’t you tired of being nice? This is an excuse to rant.

*Insert the Grinch's evil smile here* Hee hee hee hee hee hee, time to be BRUTALLY HONEST~

The amount of hypocrisy in this fandom, especially regarding Leon, is AS-TOUN-DING. It's like-

Y'all: Clothes don't define a person's gender or their sexuality! Stereotypes shouldn't be used to judge somebody's sexuality or their gender, that's problematic! What one wears and how one talks says nothing about who they are! People are diverse!

Also y'all: lol there's nothing heterosexual or cisgender about that sygna suit leon is gay and trans sorry i don't make the rules uwu

You are basically digging y'all's graves. When that comes back to bite y'all in the butt, don't come saying I didn't warn you, 'k? And I highly doubt y'all portray Leon as trans for "representation" because if y'a'll TRULY cared about canon trans characters, you'd bring light to characters that are ACTUALLY trans, not turn a canon cis character into one. Furthermore, the overwhelming majority of fanart coming from artists who headcanon Leon as transsexual is him being portrayed with those monster-sized tits and it's fucking fetishising, gross and just atrocious.

Most RaiLeon/TrueRivalShipping shippers are low-key racist and it shows in their works: more often than not, Raihan is portrayed as this violent and feral black man who has a fetish for subduing and seeing Leon suffer and considering the bigoted stereotype that black people are violent... Yeah.

Oh, and there's also the part of this fandom who love calling Leon a slutty manwhore because of his Sygna Suit, too, and the double standards are SHOWING. I'm telling you this fandom would NEVER dare to say the same thing about a female character. Pretty sure it would be treated as a sin worst than lust itself.

I rest my case.

I’m making a list of similarities between Killian Jones and Ethan Winters, cause why the hell not.

Big-ass huge no-coming-back spoilers for Once Upon a Time and Resident Evil 7 & 8. You have been officially warned.

- Missing hands. I mean, I don’t think there’s many like me who are investing in both characters but those who are know this is probably the first thing that would come to mind. I even find it funny (in a twisted way, I admit) that Killian gets his hand back for a very short time and then loses it again, compared to Ethan “Lego Man” Winters, who gets both his hands and his leg cut off in different situations and then just pops them back in place and doesn’t even think twice about how the hell he could do that. He probably thought “Haha magic green juice go brrr” (Granted, he did utter a “What the fuck” when his leg got magically reattached but still, Ethan, THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIGN OR SOMETHING IDK)

- Fathers of the year. I mean, Killian came back, but I don’t think we talk a lot about how he legit died to save his daughter. Maybe I’ll be a lucky fan and despite the “The father’s story is now done” CAPCOM gave us, Ethan will make a comeback too 🥺

- They make cute sounds to make their children laugh. Like, with Ethan it’s canon, he can pick up Rose’s toy monkey and make cute monkey sounds to her. With Killian it’s such a popular headcanon it’s almost canon, that he would make funny expressions and sounds to make Alice laugh. We don’t see him do it, but we know 100% he would. It’s canon coz I said so, moving on.

- They actually rock their babies to soft sweet music. Killian while singing the lullaby his mother used to sing to him, Ethan with the music from the music box in their house. Just... just leave me here to cry ok.

- The way they inspire protecc feelings for their daughters to me. Alice, precious, protecc. Rose, precious, protecc. But also, you know, it’s not just the way they died for their daughters. It’s how they kept fighting through everything and kept going. Which leads me to...

- Resilience. They both will stop at nothing. They’ll look at monsters, demons, nearly unkillable creatures, and they’ll be like “Okay I got this”. Granted, Ethan will have a cheesy thing or two to say - in contrast to Killian’s wit and charisma - but they’ll both pick up their weapons and go apeshit at them.

- They’re both great artists!

They didn’t have to go that hard with them. But they did and I’m just... yes. Headcanon food. Thank.

- Super forgiving towards their love interests. Look, don’t @ me. Don’t even try. Yes, Mia wanted to protect Ethan and if you think about it it’s not even directly her fault (In 7, if it wasn’t for her The Connections would still go on with their Eveline project, and realizing how it could affect Ethan she legit warned him to stay away, but Ethan was a himbo so he came to save her anyway, so Ethan getting involved in all this mess was kinda a responsibility he took for himself), but she still made important lapses in her judgement. Emma was the same when she turned Killian into a Dark One, she wanted to protect him, it was all out of love, but when you disregard your significant other’s very specific wishes... there are issues. Yet Ethan and Killian gave them a second chance which the way I see it could only come after a deep, long discussion about everything that had happened. And which we didn’t see but it definitely happened coz I say so. Both Killian and Ethan love and they forgive and they see the best in the people they love.

- Died and came back.

Killian: *dies in the Book* *comes back because it wasn’t real* *almost dies from Excalibur* *comes back changed* *dies for real* *comes back because Zeus shipped Captain Swan* *Wish Hook dies protecting his daughter* *comes back because someone gave up his life for him* *both keep living happily ever after*

Ethan: *dies by a head stomp* *comes back changed* *has his heart ripped out* *comes back* *realizes he’s been dead all along* *dies protecting his daughter*

... *no come back? :( CAPCOM? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top? 🥺*

- Had their heart ripped out. Like what were even the chances of both having had that happen.

source for where I took this screenshot because it’s just as terrifying watching it from third person, Ethan’s 😐 face notwithstanding (actually, considering this moment is like, super traumatic and shocking, Ethan having a completely neutral face kinda makes it even more terrifying)

Like ok I know Killian's case has the whole magic heart rip thing so he isn’t instantly killed while Ethan just drops “dead” but you know

- A fave of the whumpers. Probably the main reason this post is happening in the first place. Would I love Ethan if he wasn’t such a good whumpee, having shit done to him and screaming in pain? Prolly not.

- Getting covered in ominous black goo

While experiencing some visions, by the way. Because we can’t have a dude covered in black goo without getting some hallucinations, can we?

- Angst. Angst. Angst galore. Multiple opportunities for angsty fics and headcanons. Having nightmares? Check. Worrying about wife? Check. Worrying about DAUGHTER? Check. Suffering from trauma? Check. FUCKING DYING? Check.

- I love them both. They husband. They son. They boi. And that’s the most important similarity between them, everybody go home and thank you for reading.

Like honestly if you got this far, thank you <3

Cinderella and Sora?

Okay, last ones for this set of this meme, let's go!

Cinderella

First impression - I always liked her just fine, but her movie was never quite on my radar in the same way the other princess movies were for the simple fact that Lady Tremaine wasn't as big of a villain as Grimhilde or Maleficent was.

Impression now - I adore her! Now that I've sort of grown and taken an adult's perspective on Disney, I can see very plainly that Cinderella is one of their best films, and that's in large part thanks to Cinderella herself. She's such an interesting and compelling character, and I think her story is just inspiring and so important for a lot of us.

Favorite moment - I think "Sing Sweet Nightingale" and her subsequent wrath towards Lucifer is the moment that stands out in my mind when I think of Cinderella. Just the way it showcases her effortless beauty and grace and then immediately contrasts that by showing what a spitfire she can be if she gets pushed.

Idea for a story - I'd be interested to see the version of Cinderella from Cinderella III get to travel through time to meet her self from the end of the first movie. I just think it'd be really interesting to see Jennifer Hale's Cinderella and Ilene Woods's Cinderella having a chance to meet and sort of compare and contrast them.

Unpopular opinion - She's not a bad feminist figure, and it's actually doing more harm than good painting her as the emblem of everything feminism is supposedly against because it alienates women in traditionally feminine roles and it treats surviving abuse as a weak character trait. It's lazy to dismiss her like that, and there's more relevant discussions to be had when it comes to gender.

Favorite relationship - Cinderella reconciling with her stepsister Anastasia and picking up the pieces there is one of the most interesting dynamics that the series touched on, at least for me.

Favorite headcanon - I like the idea that she was the one to handle most diplomatic relationships for the kingdom after she became queen. She's got a sort of "steering without letting you know she's steering" quality to how she interacts wit the world, and I feel like as a leader, she'd be much more effective at it than lovable himbo Prince Charming. She faced down Lady Tremaine. Hostile foreign powers got nothin' on that.

Sora

First impression - I actually thought he was very weird. The spiky hair, the fact that he had" girly" eyelashes and a "girl's" name, the fact that he was the main character of a game I thought was supposed to be a Disney crossover... it all just kinda turned me at first. It took a while when I was a kid for me to really get into the game and his story.

Impression now - He grew on me a lot! I came to love him and for him to be one of my favorite video game protagonists... then Kingdom Hearts 3 kinda just soiled the franchise for me. I'm still trying to pick up the pieces with him. But I do still care about him.

Favorite moment - KH1, cutscene before the first fight with Dark Riku when he gives the original (and best) "My friends are my power!" speech. Honestly, just a perfect moment!

Idea for a story - A Soriku Sleeping Beauty story where Sora finds himself trapped in slumber like he was in Dream Drop Distance and Riku having to face Maleficent and all the forces of Hell in order to wake him with True Love's Kiss.

Unpopular opinion - He's not himself in KH3. He was so full of life for most of the franchise, but in KH3 the animation makes him look dead behind the eyes and Osment's voice work and the dip in writing quality made him feel that way. I miss the person who Sora was before the series started turning to crap, but it's kinda hard to parse things out.

Favorite relationship - Sora/Riku is genuinely the greatest Disney love story that never happened. It's a true shame that the franchise never canonized it because the writing and the groundwork was ALL there, and it would have been so important!

Favorite headcanon - Both of his parents are very loving and friendly people who became sort of a second home for Riku. His mom is actually a head taller than his dad, a source of many inside jokes in the family.

#Cinderella #Sora #Kingdom Hearts #Disney Princesses
