As it turned out, you and Neuvillette didn’t go on your honeymoon tomorrow. Apparently, there was some sort of sudden judicial matter that desperately needed his attention. You lost count of how many times he apologized to you.
Which was just as well, since going on a trip—even if it was only for a day—on such short notice was absurd and unrealistic. Perhaps it was a testament to just how unsettled Neuvillette was by whatever he talked about with Furina that he suggested it in the first place.
Your initial excitement had cooled down slightly, replaced with calm rationality.
To be honest, you were unsure why he cared so much. From what you could garner (Neuvillette still refused to tell you exactly what his argument with Furina was about), it wasn’t as though she had explicitly ordered him to go on a honeymoon. Besides, having a honeymoon wasn't a requirement for marriage. You knew plenty of couples back home who didn’t have one. Even your own parents simply went back to your father’s house and started living together after they got married.
You told Neuvillette about those things in an effort to take the pressure off him, but it backfired. He seemed even more determined to make this “honeymoon”-slash-“date” happen than before.
“But you looked so excited when I brought the subject up. You’ve rarely traveled before, have you?” he had said, and you couldn’t really argue with that.
It was times like these that made you wonder. From the time you got married—no, all the way back to when you first met—you had always assumed that he acted the way he did towards you out of a sense of gentlemanly conduct. It was something you admired. How many self-proclaimed gentlemen have you met until now? They should all model themselves after Neuvillette.
But it was all the things he did, like buying you the painting set even though you had never asked him for it or hanging up your painting in his office, that made you wonder something that was perhaps a little impertinent: was Neuvillette secretly very sentimental?
That makes sense, you thought, nodding to yourself as you inspected the sunflower plants. They had now reached the middle of your calf, and there were small, tender leaves growing from the stalks.
Neuvillette seemed like the type of person who enjoyed doting on something. No, you were sure he was. You had seen how he acted with the Melusines—he was like a proud father. But on the other hand, Melusines weren’t like pets you could take care of and leave at home. They were full-fledged citizens of Fontaine with their own lives.
But with humans, he was cordial but distant due to his strict personal morals. You sensed that, however, that it didn’t mean he actively disliked interacting with them. It didn’t help that his position and demeanor intimidated people and made them stay at a respectful distance. So, basically, it was a relationship where both parties mutually stayed away from each other, even though the desire was there to get closer.
“He should get a pet or something…” you muttered to yourself.
“Who should get a pet?” a voice asked from behind you. It was Neuvillette.
“I was just thinking that you should get a pet,” you stood up and turned around. “I think you would make a good pet owner.”
 Neuvillette raised an eyebrow. “What brought this on?”
“Oh, I was just thinking,” you said innocently. “Have you ever had a pet before? Or considered getting one?”
“No to both questions, I’m afraid,” Neuvillette said. “My job keeps me too busy to spend much time with them, and truthfully, I prefer observing animals in their natural habitats rather thuan transplanting them to an environment that might not suit them.”
“I see,” you nodded. It was just the answer you would expect from him. “But, I still think that you would be a great owner. You’re so caring and considerate, after all. I’m sure any pet of yours would be lucky to be yours.”
Neuvillette was silent for a moment, like he was thinking over your words. “Then, what would you suggest I should get as a pet, in the hypothetical scenario that I decide to get one?” he suddenly asked, turning to you.
You considered it for a moment. Your first thought was some kind of aquatic creature, like a fish, but you quickly eliminated that choice. Neuvillette wouldn’t like to have a pet that was trapped in confined spaces, and besides…you glanced at his hands, remembering all the times you saw him pat the Melusines’ heads. He would like something he could pet and cuddle. The mental image of Neuvillette cuddling with a fluffy creature made you smile. Yes, definitely something fluffy. A dog would be too high maintenance for him, perhaps a cat? Or a hamster, or a rabbit…
You told Neuvillette about your thoughts. “Think about how relaxing it would be to run your fingers through your cat’s soft fur after a long day at work,” you ended. “Wouldn’t that be nice?”
“It does sound pleasant,” Neuvillette said as he gazed at the sunflower shoots, then looked at you for a few moments as though considering something. “But I think I’ve already experienced something similar to that.”
“What are you implying, hm?” you glared up at him. Lately, Neuvillette seemed to have taken a liking to teasing you. Normally, you didn’t really tolerate being poked fun at by people outside your immediate friends and family (although, come to think of it, Neuvillette was technically your family now), but from him, you didn’t mind all that much. Maybe it was the novelty of it.
“Nothing, Madame. Nothing at all.”
For a few minutes, you two were silent. But it was the warm kind of silence where the people involved simply indulged in each other’s presence.
“So…” you cleared your throat. “Has the date for our honeymoon been set yet? You can at least tell me that, and where we’re going, can’t you?”
You gave him a meaningful look. His argument with Furina had been on your mind for the past few days. Now that you knew that you were involved, you had to know what it was about. You initially bugged him about it, but eventually stopped when he kept repeating, “It is better for you not to know.”
Of course, you had no intention to drop it completely. You simply had to wait for the right moment to bring it up again.
From where you were standing, Neuvillette’s bangs hid his face, but you could have sworn that you saw a small smile on his lips. “I’ll tell you after dinner.”
Tumblr media
The two of you would be going on your one-day honeymoon this weekend. To be precise, it wasn’t even a whole day. You two would be returning home by evening.
The day’s itinerary consisted of two places. The first was the Erinnyes Forest region in the east, where you would spend the morning and early afternoon sightseeing and strolling. In the afternoon, you would be visiting Merusea Village, as Neuvillette wanted to introduce you to the Melusines living there.
Right now, the two of you were sitting in the parlor.
“What do you think?” Neuvillette looked at you beseechingly. You could hear the self-consciousness in his voice. “I am aware that they may not be the most exciting of locales, and that married couples tend to travel more exotic destinations and stay there for a longer period of time, but, considering our personal circumstances…”
He trailed off. He really is taking this too seriously, you thought. Like everything else.
But that was what you liked about him.
“Hmm,” you said. “I don’t think Lady Furina would be too impressed by this. You might get scolded again when she hears of this.”
“You do not like it?” Neuvillette said, looking crestfallen. “Yes, of course you wouldn’t. A lady like you should be taken on a pleasure cruise or a beachside resort. It is not too late to make the necessary arrangements—”
“I said Lady Furina wouldn’t be too impressed by this,” you interrupted him, leaning forward to look him in the eye. “I didn’t say I didn’t like it.”
Neuvillette opened his mouth like he was about to say something, but then closed it. “I see,” was all he said.
You leaned back against the back of the couch. To be honest, you were not much of a romantic, so when you heard the words “honeymoon trip,” your first thought was if it was possible for the two of you to spend a weekend in Petrichor to explore the ruins there.
Still, you had diligently done your research on just where and what did people do on their honeymoons, if only for reference’s sake. You pored over society papers and magazines. The wealthy tended to travel abroad to countries like Liyue and Mondstadt, or head to the resorts or their mountain villas for weeklong getaways. Obviously, the two of you couldn’t do that. Not that you wanted to, of course.
As for exactly what people did on honeymoons—needless to say, you two carefully skirted around that topic.
Really, when you thought about it, this was more like a date than a honeymoon.
Date… For some reason, your heart beat faster at that word than it had ever done for “honeymoon.” Maybe because it felt closer to the truth of what this was.
“I’m looking forward to it,” you said, genuinely meaning it. “You know I’ve never travelled further than the opera house. And…we’ve never gone anywhere together before, have we? I think it’ll be fun.”
“Fun…?” Neuvillette repeated, like the concept was unfamiliar to him. “Do you truly think so? I am…aware…that it is not a quality often associated with me.”
For some reason (well, you could make a guess as to why), Neuvillette had become fixated on this point of being “boring.” The less kind side of you wondered why this only occurred to him now, but mostly you were just surprised it concerned him so much. Being boring or dull wasn’t a crime, no matter what the Archon would say.
It’s probably because I’m a new, unfamiliar addition to his life, you thought. That’s why he’s always so hesitant and unsure of himself when it comes to me.
You thought you somewhat understood him. Neuvillette was the type of person who placed more pressure on himself than on others. That was why he always apologized or asked for your approval. You didn’t know how he acted with others, so it was just a theory, though.
It made you sad to think that Neuvillette was stressed and doubting himself because of you. It was like watching mud contaminate a pristine pool of water. You felt guilty for being able to feel relaxed nowadays when it wasn’t the same with him.
Perhaps you should bug the license office more frequently. In any case, you weren’t staying here forever. Hopefully, Neuvillette would return to his usual self soon after you were gone.
Until then, you had to do your best to maintain an agreeable, pleasant atmosphere between you and him.
“I can’t speak for others, but I never feel bored with you,” you said firmly, as though, as though to shake off that melancholic feeling. “I assure you, if I ever get bored, I will tell you directly, and then we can figure out something else to do together.” To be honest, I’m more worried about me boring him.
Neuvillette looked unconvinced, so you added. “If you like, I could give you feedback at the end. So you could improve for, er, next time.”
The words made you cringe inwardly. It made this honeymoon sound like some sort of work evaluation. Then again, considering how Lady Furina pushed for it, I suppose that’s not so far off the mark. Also, why did I say next time? It’s not like I’m expecting anything after this…or am I?
As you were buried in your thoughts, you felt an intense gaze upon your face and looked up to find Neuvillette staring at you. He didn’t look away. You found that you couldn’t either.
“You always know what to say, don’t you?” he murmured. “The weekend cannot come soon enough.”
He then bid you goodnight and left the room, leaving you staring at the table.
Tumblr media
The day had arrived.
Neuvillette had told you yesterday that you would have an early start today, so you tried to get in bed early, but ended up being too excited and nervous to sleep. More than the fact that you would be going to places you had never been before, you would be going to them with Neuvillette. It hadn’t set in before, but this was the first time you and him would be alone for such an extended period of time.
You had butterflies in your stomach just thinking about it. Luckily, your room was away from everyone else, or else you would have woken them up with your tossing and turning.
You had to remind yourself to stay calm. This is just an outing between two friends. Even if it’s called a “honeymoon” or “date,” if there’s no romantic feelings from either party, then in essence, it is not a date, right? Wait, why am I thinking about this so hard?
You didn’t know when you fell asleep, but it felt like you had only rested your eyes briefly before a gentle knock on your door woke you up.
“…Huh?”
You opened your eyes blearily and looked at the bedside clock. It was early in the morning, so much so that it was still dark outside.
You managed to drag yourself out of bed and walked over to the door.
“Who is it…?” you asked, stifling a yawn.
“It’s me.”
“Oh…” you opened the door without thinking. There, in front of your door, stood Neuvillette, fully dressed and perfectly coiffed. “Um, wait…” You pictured how you looked to him: messy hair, wearing an old and rumpled nightgown, squinty-eyed.
The two of you stared at each other for a moment. Your emotions were dulled, probably because you were still half-asleep. What a strangely familiar situation…at least I’m properly dressed this time, sort of.
Neuvillette cleared his throat and turned away. Maybe it was just the bad lighting, but his cheeks seemed to be tinged with red. But surely that couldn’t be the case. “My apologies, Madame. I wasn’t aware that you haven’t gotten ready yet.”
“No, no, I should have gotten dressed beforehand,” you said, slowly closing the door. “Don’t worry, I’ll be quick.”
Now you were fully awake. You hurriedly went to the bathroom to freshen up, washing your face and swiping a comb through your hair. Then, you got dressed. It had been embarrassingly difficult to put together an outfit appropriate for the occasion. All your clothes were of the plain and functional variety. You desperately wished you had brought more clothes from back home.
Clearly, too many things had gone contrary to your expectations.
In the end, you had settled for a blouse, skirt, and a cardigan. Since you were going to be mostly outdoors today anyways, you should dress more practically. However, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction as you stared at yourself in the mirror. You knew that Neuvillette would never say anything, but personally, you wished that you looked a little cuter. More like a girl going on a date. Even though this wasn’t a date.
Relax. Don’t overthink things. You thought to yourself in the mirror. For makeup, you decided to just put on lipstick.
Then, you took in a deep breath, put on your gloves, grabbed your purse and hat, and opened the door.
Neuvillette was still standing in the same position he was before, like a statue. It was kind of funny. In his long life, he had probably seen a lot more than a mere woman in a nightgown (or towel). He really was the perfect gentleman.
“Sorry for the wait,” you told him. “I really did mean to get ready earlier, but I was…too excited to sleep.”
“How coincidental,” Neuvillette said, smiling slightly. “So was I.”
Was he saying that he had also been tossing and turning like you, imagining what the day would be like and worrying over what to say and do? It was hard to imagine, but the idea of it lightened your heart.
The two of you went downstairs to the kitchen to get the picnic basket. Since your trip to Erinnyes was in the morning, it was decided that you would be having lunch there. You had helped Marie with the preparations. Speaking of Marie, she was even more excited than you when she heard that you and Neuvillette were going out for the day. “A honeymoon!” she exclaimed. “Oh, Madame, how wonderful!”
“It’s not really a honeymoon,” you corrected. It was so much more embarrassing to hear someone else saying that word. “It’s just an outing.”
“A date, then?”
“Um…sure.” Friends went on dates too, didn’t they? Yeah, they do!
“Whatever you call it, I’m so happy to see Monsieur Neuvillette finally taking some time for himself, even if it only a day. In all my years of working for him, I can only count on one hand the number of times he took a full day off.”
“How long have you been working for him?”
“Oh…” Marie looked up at the ceiling. “About ten years now?”
By the time you and Neuvillette left the house, the sun was already peeking over the horizon. The air was cool and crisp. You glanced over at the sunflowers. They looked like they had grown even taller overnight, and the buds had grown bigger as well.
“What will today’s weather be like, I wonder?” you said aloud, not looking at Neuvillette.
“Hm…” Neuvillette made a show of considering your question. “I dare say that it will be perfectly pleasant.”
“Pleasant by my standards, or by yours?”
“If you are asking if it will rain today, then I don’t believe it will. Of course, the weather can be unpredictable, so do not take my word for certain.”
“Don’t worry,” you said, patting your purse. “I brought an umbrella, just in case.”
You walked down the slope towards the city. The streets were still quiet, but you could see some shopkeepers preparing to open, and there were already Mekas patrolling the streets. Or were they never turned off? You had never seen the city in early morning before. It was a fascinating sight.
“Are we truly going to take the aquabus to Erinnyes?” you asked as you walked down the familiar path to the central station. There weren’t much people around right now, so you didn’t need to worry about anyone seeing you two together. “I assumed that we would be taking your personal craft, or…” Teleporting there, you said in your head.
“It has been a while since I’ve rode the aquabus, and I found myself missing the view. …Are you displeased with that idea?”
“No, not at all,” you shook your head. “I like riding it too.” Although now you understood why Neuvillette wanted you to wake up early.
Just as you approached the station, a woman with long dark hair called out to Neuvillette. “Good morning, Monsieur Neuvillette.”
“Ah, Clorinde,” Neuvillette greeted the woman. “I didn’t expect to see you here so early.”
“I’m just about to start my morning jog,” Clorinde said. The name sounded familiar to you, although you couldn’t place where you heard it before. She looked at you. “And who is this?”
“Ah, let me introduce you,” Neuvillette said. “This is Miss [Name], a friend of mine. Miss [Name], this is Clorinde, my subordinate.”
“Always a pleasure to meet a friend of Monsieur Neuvillette,” she said and extended her hand, which you shook. “Where are you two headed so early?”
“We’re going on an outing to Erinnyes Forest,” you said.
“I see,” Clorinde’s piercing violet eyes scanned the two of you and landed on the picnic basket carried by Neuvillette. “A fine way to spend a day off. I’m a bit jealous.”
“Jealous?” Neuvillette looked genuinely alarmed. “Do you not receive enough breaks? Perhaps I should—” Then he glanced at you and cleared his throat. “No, what I mean is—"
“Oh no, that wasn’t what I was referring to,” Clorinde shook her head. You thought you saw her smiling a bit. “Well, I won’t keep you two any longer. Enjoy your outing.”
She then jogged away. You and proceeded to enter the empty station building.
“Clorinde…” you muttered to yourself in the elevator, and then it came to you. “Oh, Clorinde! She’s the strongest Champion Duelist, right?”
You heard about her, but you had never watched her duels.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Wouldn’t it have been problematic for her to see us together?” Luckily, you had decided to wear gloves today, just in case. As far as you knew, nothing had come out of that impromptu run-in from last month, but one could never be too careful.
“I wouldn’t worry too much. Clorinde is a trustworthy person and not the type to spread gossip. I think the two of you would make good friends, actually.”
“Hmm…if you say so.” What would you even talk about with a Champion Duelist?
As the elevator ascended to the Navia Line platform, you couldn’t help but think back to spring, when you had similarly got into an elevator with Neuvillette. At that time, you two were near strangers. But now, you were friends. And married. And going on an Archon-mandated date/honeymoon.
Fate was truly a strange thing.
The elevator reached the second floor. The aquabus was already there, which you guessed was arranged by Neuvillette. The Melusine in charge of the Navia Line, Elphane, waved when she saw you two.
“Good morning, Monsieur and Madame Neuvillette!” she said. Her voice sounded unusually chipper. You had met Elphane a few times, and you found her to be the prickly type. But you supposed that like her sisters, she softened up considerably in Neuvillette’s presence.
“Good morning, Elphane,” Neuvillette said as he helped you onto the aquabus. “My apologies for asking you to get up so early.”
“Anything for you, Monsieur Neuvillette,” Elphane said, even as she let out a yawn. “Shall we be off, then?”
The two of you nodded, and the aquabus set off. The bird’s eye view of the city soon spread out before your eyes. You could see more people in the streets now. The sky was now a light blue. The wind blowing through your hair felt nice.
Perhaps it was the steady speed of the aquabus travelling along the rail or the quiet chatter between Elphane and Neuvillette, but you suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness sweep over you. Try as you might to keep your eyes open, they seemed determined to close.
I’ll just rest my eyes a little bit, you thought. I hope I don’t fall overboard.

Ok oh my god. OH MY GOD. I just saw treasure planet for the first time and It was fucking amazing. Like yeah Duh I KNOWWW i know it’s like. “underrated Disney movie bla bla it was a commercial failure” . You know the deal.
But if there is 1 thing I want to say:
I cannot emphasize enough how meaningful and touching it is to the audience when you allow your male main characters to cry, and hug, and be emotionally vulnerable without shame. That brought this film to a whole new level 🥺
Tumblr media
its a beautiful movie that took so many creative risks and that’s so admirable. It’s so clear they had a vision and they crafted that vision with endless amounts of love :’] I DID CRY.
More rambling below
I was CONSISTENTLY delighted by how creative the characters were and incredibly entertained throughout. So fucking fun and engaging and it feels like a 2 hour movie so much happens. How is it only 1.5 hours.
Tumblr media
I CRIED !!!!!!!!!! John Silver and Jim’s relationship was so COMPLEX like actually amazing. The father figure dynamic is so sweet and heartwarming and so heartbreaking simultaneously like I was not expecting that AMV montage in the middle like that shit cut me so deep it was outstanding. A montage about Jim’s troubled childhood with a neglectful absent father and then DIRECTLY PARALLELING THAT WITH HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH SILVER. LIKE HES FINALLY OVERCOMING THOSE FEELINGS AND LIVING HIS LIFE. GODDAMN!!! THATS SO POWERFUL!! THATS SO INCREDIBLE!!! THATS JUST IN THE MOVIE!!!!??!
Also the character/creature designs are RELENTLESS in how good they are. And they have so much fun with it. It’s so silly.
They had an old snapping turtle pirate???? hello?? He was introduced and then he died ❤️
Tumblr media
The animation is also MIND BLOWINF like OH MY GOD!??? the seamless integration of 2D and 3D interacting is so impressive especially for 2001 like this was a technological feat for sure . Only rarely does the CG look dated (those whales at the start <\3 poor guys) BUT JOHN SILVER’S CYBORG ARM WAS FUCKING AMAZING LIKE I COUKD STARE AT THAT THING FOR HOURS .
Tumblr media
Can’t find a gif of it but during his introduction there was a ROTATING SHOT of him cooking (❤️) while using his arm and his arm has so many tools inside it like a cyborg Swiss Army knife it’s the coolest fucking thing ever. Just Amazing
Tumblr media
Also the fact they introduced an entirely new character 53 minutes in when the main cast has already been established was such a risk, but it so paid off. I love B.E.N. The fact he’s fully 3D animated and he’s THAT expressive. WHILE BEING A ROBOT? adorable. He’s Adorable. He’s so mentally ill and strange.
Tumblr media
What is wrong with him. He is. dare I say. spamtonlike. pathetic and unhinged. Houses forbidden knowledge. What a Pitiful creature 🧡his glowing CRT eyes are really cute. There was a moment when the lights went out it was only his eyes and I Liked That
I love weird little robot guys in early-late 2000s movies. I need to watch Bluesky robots. I need my fix.
Tumblr media
Morph could’ve been a really obnoxious comedic relief animal sidekick but they somehow managed to make him really cute and likable. (Also They only used him for plot points A LITTLE. Turning into anything couldve been overpowered as fuck. But alas… he is a mindless animal...) We love Morph. His relationship with silver is so fucking cute.
Tumblr media
Kind of a Delbert centrist honestly. I liked him but also kinda dislike him. Bro kinda gives self centered misogynist scientist vibes. But he’s also silly and self conscious though guyssss.!! I thought I would like him more than I did. BUT He’s animated SO wonderfully though I love the shape of his hands and his weird goat face. Solid 7/10 weird guy. Idk why he came with Jim on the ship though❤️
Tumblr media
Captain Amelia was fucking awesome for the first half of the movie. One of the best characters. Yeah. ……………. They fumbled her so hard. MAYBE ITS JUST ME BUT ME AND MY FRIEND WERE NOT A FAN OF HER AND DELBERT AT ALL. Disney was like. We have a competent woman character ! Competent woman has to get injured and then the incompetent man has to take care of her and then they HAVE to fall in love. It’s actually so tragic like they did NOT deserve her.
IN FACT HERE’S MY SCORCHING HOT TAKE: Delbert should’ve been the one to get injured and Amelia nurses him back to health. Delbert might apologize profusely because of his self confidence issues and cuz he internalizes things that go wrong as his fault. Amelia reassures him, realizing that she was too harsh on him earlier. Delbert becomes less intimidated by her because she opens up to him and they grow to trust one another. Amelia stays with him while Jim goes to hide. And whapow !!!! Same relationship is built up without disempowering a female character. It doesn’t even have to be romantic they can just be friends……. 🫶 cuz it comes off as weird because since the start Delbert was like “wtf the captain is a GIRL?? Wait ooh la laaa she’s pretty” and she had 0 interest in him. so like the ONLY way they could pair them together was to get her injured and have him care for her . And she falls in love with him out of nowhere. No. Being cared for does not mean you’ll fall in love with your caretaker. She’s so ace coded to me and my friend. Until SUDDENLY. Am I crazy
Tumblr media
Ok so like yeah the forced heterosexual love interest moment. I did not want to see their FOUR (4) hybrid babies at the end. I’m losing my mind. also did Jim become a cop? I swear to fucking god LOL
The movie was SO good that disney didn’t know how to wrap it up without ruining it ❤️ WHICH IS VERY INTERESTING I think they had to compensate for all the risks they took with a safe and weird ending where the police like him now and the police are ok guys. Disney approved
Anyways watch/rewatch the movie right now. Skip the final minute <3
One of my new favorite movies goddamn!
Edit: I would’ve forgiven them if Delbert got pregnant instead

Seeing as though it is pride month, I am going to be discussing ranting about why I love Geo and how Cole and Geo’s compatibility it indeed a great match:
Note this is from what I know of him in Season 1 of DR (I’m gonna try and wait till it gets closer to the second half of season 2 part 2 release date just cos-)
And I think it also becomes a rant of my own little headcanon of Geo’s character.
- He’s so softly spoken and willing to help his friends out
- a lil cinnamon roll
- JUST BECAUSE HE’S HALF GECKLE AND HALF MUNCE DOESN’T MAKE HIM EVIL OR SCARY GUYS COME ON
- The whole thing of Geo being treated poorly because of him being half Geckle and half Munce is so so devastating and the fact that he had been treated like an outcast from his own people is heartbreaking. And so the fandom should not treat him like an outcast.
- Geo doesn’t demand anything from anyone… he does what he can in order to make people happy (ngl bro be a bit of a people pleaser)
- He was genuinely terrified that Cole wouldn’t like him if he told him the truth. This probably also being a fear of abandonment or being disliked. Or maybe not wanting to disappoint the people he cares about (sound familiar?)
Geo has very compassionate and caring traits and this being something Cole very much lacked after his mother died (especially with a father that only cared about his opera singing squad). Cole on the other hand has this need to protect and not disappoint, being the strong one and wanting nothing else but to not disappoint others (this being unpacked during the Ice Chapter). And with Geo’s personality of being so understanding and patient I find that to be a great balance between the two; Geo being very introverted but willing to step out of his comfort zone and be patient in comparison to Cole being quite extroverted but willing to take a step back and regroup for the benefit of others.
Anyways this kinda leads a lot into my own assumptions of Geo’s personality from what I’ve seen and sensed from the screen time he’s had in Season 1. I immediately adored him and his character and cannot wait to see him more.

OCs de La Quête d'Ewilan
Ewilan's Quest OCs
Hey guys, guess who has two new children!!! (well, one and a half. Ewel has actually been hanging out in the back of my mind for a couple years.)
Luce: Shadowalker apprentice (kinda like a ninja but not really)
Ewelliottan: Analyst, a scholar studying the theory of magic (because she is crap at the practice)
///
Luce, expliquant le concept de greffe à Ewel: Par exemple, Jorune Aénandra avait une greffe qui le rendait nyctalope. Ewelliottan, sans réfléchir: JE SAVAIS BIEN QUE C'ÉTAIT UNE SALOPE!!!!!! Luce: Luce, sortant un carnet et un crayon: Fascinant. Dis-m'en plus.
Ewelliottan: Sur une échelle de "Non mais allô quoi" à "Tu es triste? Arrête", comment tu te sens aujourd'hui? Luce: Quelque part entre "Coup d'boule, rien à faire" et "Il est lent, ce lait"; mais pour donner une réponse définitive je dirais "Mange tes morts". Et toi Ewel? Ewelliottan: Un bon "Macron, explosion." Salim: Je croyais comprendre le français, visiblement j'avais tort.
///
(More character info in English under the cut!)
I'm aware that most people familiar with Ewilan's Quest speak French, but I am writing this in English for accessibility reasons. For folks who don't know the books: it is set in Gwendalavir, a country in a world parallel to Earth. Shadowalkers are an elusive guild of ninja-like people with a strong focus on freedom and communion with nature. Designers are people who have the gift of Drawing, which allows them to temporarily will things into existence.
This is set some ten to fifteen years after the events of the last book; Gwendalavir has tied economical and cultural relations with France thanks to Bruno Vignol. Most Alavirians are aware of the existence of the other world, and although unrealistic, for plot reason the existence of Gwendalavir is more or less common knowledge on Earth.
Luce Pezal
He's a Shadowalker apprentice, Salim's apprentice specifically (I wasn't gonna give him to a canon character at first, but I didn't feel like creating a whole-ass OC to be his master, so Salim now has to deal with him.) He is a very cheerful and friendly guy, with a rather nonchalant demeanour - he has elevated not giving a fuck to an art form.
He grew up in Al-Vor in a family of merchants, moved to the capital Al-Jeit to try and do something with his life, did a lot of small jobs trying to find something he liked, and ended up working as a stable boy in the stable that Salim frequents. Luce has always been fascinated by Earth, and latched onto Salim the second he heard he was from there. After some time Salim realized that Luce had the potential to make a good shadowalker, and offered to take him as an apprentice.
Their master/student relationship is a little unusual, as 1) they are both adults with only a 10 years difference, 2) they were already friends before Luce became a shadowalker, and 3) Luce's friendliness and nonchalance look like disrespect toward his master (they aren't). He knew close to nothing about shadowalkers before meeting Salim, so he is utterly unfazed about the fact that his master, great-master and great-great-master are all legends in the guild's eyes.
Luce highly dislikes fighting (although he fights very well); unfortunately for him, he is often targeted by thugs who think he'll be an easy mark because of his missing right hand (he was born without one). He'll avoid blades as much as possible, preferring to fight bare-handed or use cunning instead. He is great at sleight of hand and lockpicking.
He's around 20-23 years old, and he's gay.
Ewelliottan "Ewel" Ar'son
Ewelliottan was born on Earth to a French mother and an Alavirian father. Her parents own a convenience store. She went to Gwendalavir on a study program, and decided to stay there to study the gift of Drawing and become an analyst. She has a very small affinity for Drawing, but far from enough to be a proper analyst, so she compensates it with encyclopedic knowledge of Drawing theory. She is fascinated by all Drawing-adjacent unexplained phenomena, like hiatuses, the Eye of Otolep, the history of Al-Jeit and Al-Poll, variations of the gift, etc. If she could study Mathieu Gil'Sayan under a microscope she would.
She's seen as eccentric by her colleagues; she can spend weeks nose-deep in books in the depth of the Al-Jeit Academy's library, and talk anyone's ears off about Merwyn Ril'Avalon (in time she'll become the country's leading expert on him). Rather than doing analyses of Designers' gifts, she works as a researcher. She occasionally gives conferences or classes, and her students find her either riveting, or boring as hell, with no in-between.
She has some Faëls in her ancestry; the only consequences are slightly pointed ears and a tendency to tan very quickly. When she was little she wanted to become a shadowalker; she thought that her Faël blood would give her an advantage, but it turns out it very much doesn't, and she hates exercising.
She's a little older than Luce, by 3 or 5 years (I haven't decided yet). She's bisexual, and non-binary, in a "none gender with left girl" kind of way.
(There's a few other pics of her here!)
Luce and Ewel
Luce and Ewelliottan met on a solo mission as part of Luce's training. Salim had met Ewel through his wife Ewilan, who frequents the Academy in her Sentinel job. He found out that Ewel was going to Al-Far to give a conference, so he offered Luce's services as an escort for the trip, as the roads and the city aren't safe. Knowing Luce's fascination for Earth, and Ewel's origins, he thought they would get along well. What he hadn't expected was for them to come back with friendship bracelets, three hundred inside jokes, and probably a blood pact.
While Luce is not supposed to share shadowalker knowledge with anyone outside of the guild, he does tell Ewel a lot about his training, in exchange for knowledge about the other world. Ewel taught Luce Earth slang, and Salim is both confused and mortified because he hasn't set foot on Earth in like twenty years and doesn't understand anything they're saying.

Princess Zeisan
"Zeisan was a princess of the Fire Nation and the sister of Fire Lord Sozin. She embraced Air Nomad philosophy and intended to swear off her earthly possessions in exchange for a life of austerity."
Tumblr media
All interesting subjects about Fire Nation aside, I haven't seen anyone talking about Princess Zeisan. Though it's probably because only a small percent of fandom knows about her existence.
But I think we should talk about her!
1-) Her sexuality:
Zeisan was mostly likely bisexual or pansexual or perhaps polysexual considering the fact that she once had a relationship with an air nomad woman called Rioshon, as well as a man called Khandro.
And as it's revealed in the Legend of Korra comics, Fire Nation wasn't actually a homophobic society at first. Until Sozin forbade same sex relationships and considered it criminal.
And I always found it weird why would a great Fire Lord care about two girls kissing or two guys hugging... Until I found out about Zeisan.
It's revealed that the siblings never shared a strong bond, and it's easy to assume Sozin was never fond of his sister. So he probably hated every little thing about her. Must be why Zeisan's romantic interests led Sozin to forbade LGBTQ relationships.
2-) Her looks:
When I looked at her official art, I thought Zeisan lowkey looked like a combination of Azula and Sozin.
But apparently, her looks did not help her to gain her brother's love.
Though it would be interesting to see Sozin and Zeisan side by side, looking like a genderbent version of each other, but still are distant...
3-) She was probably the invisible child:
Being born a non-bender, Zeisan couldn't find her place in the Fire Nation. Because as we learned in The Search comics, having a non-bender child is considered shameful in the royal family. That was the main reason why Ozai disliked and rejected Zuko from the moment he was born. It was doubtful if Zuko was a firebender at all, and his firstborn son being a non-bender would be a great shame for a Fire Nation prince.
So we can assume this was the same case for Zeisan. Since she wasn't a great firebender like her brother, she was probably ghosted by her family. And that explains the cold relationship of her and Sozin. It makes sense that Sozin copied his father and ignored his sister. He probably looked down upon her since he was a strong firebender and most likely favored by his father. And this also explains the late blooming megalomania of Sozin since he came up with the idea of conquering the world (Eh, talk about villain cliches...)
Kinda like the relationship of Zuko and Azula. Azula was a firebending prodigy and was favored by her father, but Zuko was first mistaken as a non-bender for not having a spark in his eyes. And we know for a fact that despite being the scapegoat of his family, Zuko was also an invisible child since he was often ignored by his father.
4-) She was a pacifist:
Since she couldn't find her place in the Fire Nation, Zeisan found comfort in embracing air nomad culture. Unlike her ambitious and destructive brother, she wanted peace and life.
And this, once again, showing the contrast between the siblings.
Zeisan embraced their culture, wanted peace and life, became a pacifist; as a contrast, Sozin nearly ended their culture, wanted war and destruction, became a tyrant.
So far, these are the only things I could think about Zeisan since we have very limited information about her. And fans barely know about her existence. But I sure hope to learn more about her in the upcoming comics and series!
Also, it would be cool to see a Fire Nation spin-off. Kinda like Game of Thrones and House of The Dragon. HoTD did/doing an awesome job with portraying the Targaryen dynasty. I could totally see a similar series about Fire Nation!

APOLLO CAN U TELL ME ABOUR ON E OF UR OCS.. i was thinkin about how hearing u talk ab them kinda inspired me to actually pick my projects back up and also i think they r sick as helll :3 pretty pleaase ? ./NF!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
OKAY SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG TO REPLY I WAS STUCK IN THE LABRYNTH (i couldnt decide which oc to talk about) BUT i relauzed i havent really talkrd about hiiro at all on here :3 EVERYTHING UNDER CUT and ill format it like i formatted the buwan post :3
this hiiro (left image most recent) ignore thr typology on the right its outdated
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fun facts :3
likes: warm cloudy weather, bright lights, computers and technology, large cities, classic literature, anatomy and neurology, strong flavors, squid ink pasta
dislikes: most people, sunny days, manual labor, following orders, bland food, going outside, trains and train stations, getting wet
nationality: japanese
relatives: (adoptive) mother and father, elder sister (pacchi, 2 years older), younger sister (heru, 3 years younger)
early life (sort of???) (cw child injury/neglect, bullying, ableism?)
disclaimer i havent Fully fleshed out its backstory so this will just be a large summary of . stuff that Occured
hiiro and his sisters were put up for adoption almost immediately after heru was born (hiiro being 3, pacchi being 5) and they took turns taking care of her bcuz their parents were too "busy" to hire babysitters. hiiro and pacchi got into a fight while heru (like toddler age atp) tried to break them up. because hiiro has always been quick to anger and sort of physical, when heru tried to intervene his first instinct was to push her as hard as he could while yelling at her to stay out of it, it doesnt involve her . errmm aftermath of that argument was . heru got permenant brain damage and hiiro and pacchis relationship Completely broke apart :[ aww womp womp . Ok fast forward . heru is homeschooled by a tutor and hiiro and pacchi are both in junior high. pacchi is popular and friendly and pretty, but her grades are lacking . hiiro has always been incredibly smart (even though pacchi is 2 years older, he skipped a school year or two and is in her same year), but his social life is miserable . because of his temper and Overall Unfriendliness he was put in separate classes away from his peers where he was the only student under a teacher who didnt care about hiiro or Pretty much anything . it wasnt seen often but when he Was seen he was beat up n bullied relentlessly n followed home , so a lot of the time he spent nights hidden in the school or in damp alleys because he didnt want to lead anyone dangerous back to pacchi and heru . when he Was home pacchi ignored him and heru would try to make conversation but hiiro was Pretty much entirely nonverbal during their school years . at home hiiro drew and wrote and played like anyone else his age but bcuz hiiro looked different and sounded different and acted different it ended up outcast and alienated :[ womp womp
career ??
aaaanyway yada yada hiiro graduates early n basically disappears into researching neurology n brains n Specifically how theyre "programmed" , they end up lowkey kidnapping a couple people to experiment on them w a janky "neuroprogramming" device that, once hes sure is Safe To Use , hiiro uses on itself :3 the way proples brains show up on the device isnt like an mri or anything , the way it shoes up actually Depends on the person so sometimes itll be a short rpg or lines of code or Minesweeper and because hiiro Made the device they can decipher what each brain thing means and collects data based off that . but because what he does is Very illegal the government eventually tracks him down and forces it to work w them or theyll Krill him .
fun facts part Two :3
hiiro has only had alcohol Once and despite being of legal age they were kicked out for looking too young . he cant hold his liquor
he frequents a gaming cafe and knows all the staff by name but is too embarrassed to be seen in front of other people , so it rents out the whole cafe when it wants to go
hiiro has 3 cats and they are all Huge
after he Reappeared hiiro actually reconnected w his sisters and visits them as often as possible . Its not very affectionate at all though
i actually made his voice claim miyashita yuu . the songs where hes louder and yelling r more what i was thinking at the time , but i think miyayuu's soft speaking voice works as well
all the sleeves on their sweaters are slightly tethered and frayed because he fidgets with them while working . the right sleeve is more torn than the left
he doodles in his free time and has posted a couple oneshots on obscure manga forums . they dont keep up with them but one of them ended up getting really popular
hiiro Loves scifi . his entire apartment is decorated in super lame and obscure scifi anime posters and figures
Tumblr media
THANKIES !!!

For the character ask meme, can u do kazuya (ofc) and questions 1, 2, and 23?
SORRY I TOOK SO LONG
1. Why do you like or dislike this character?
Fucker came into my life right after The Great Dam Yakuza Era and lemme tell you it was love at first smash trailer's bare tits. He's a also h. ... h. He's h.
Then it was like. if you actually stop and try to take tekken's story seriously and think about him for more than 5 seconds, you realize how much of a tragic figure he is, both in-universe and in a meta way. The first thing we know about him is that his father threw him off a cliff when he was fucking 5 YEARS OLD, his desire for revenge is justified as fuck. Then he becomes a neat subversion of the typical hero-type when he turns into a bigger villain than the one he defeated, but pre-retcon, its the result of a deal he made with the devil because of the fact that his father threw him off that damn cliff and he was about to die, so its unclear just how evil on his own he was because he HAS been altered in some way by an external force (which is still kinda true post-retcon with the devil gene), and that tragedy comes from that grey area, from the "What Could Have Been?". Its not made any better by the fact that this forever unsolved question is supported by the entire character of jun (and angel), theres the tease that THERE IS something to save in kazuya, but that failed. More tragedy. And his T2 theme, "emotionless passion", is a beautiful piece of music thats just dripping with melancholy. Then he becomes tragic in a more meta way, as it becomes obvious with each new installment that hes a very tricky character to handle so he is always relegated to the bench, never the focus, he has to make way for new characters to grab the players' attention, new relatives. He's sooo interesting and secretly complex and his hair is so stupid
He's also hot and handsome as fuck.
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
I LOVE THAT HE SMILES A LOT yeah I know its more of an evil smirk but idk its charming. I also love how he flashes his red eye for dramatic moments, making good use of that cool edgy heterochromia. The whole sneakers collection thing is fucking peak, this is how you humanize a character, I am SO glad they brought it back. The whole sequence of him finally killing heihachi in T7 was the best fucking part of this game. He canonically pays a robot 25$ a month.
23. Favorite picture of this character?
I spend hours trying to pick just one fuck this youre getting all 10

I know nothing about Pillars of Eternity, but asking 1, 3, 9, 11 and 13 anyway. :)
Thank you for letting me talk about my OC despite not even being in the fandom, dear, it is very much appreciated! 😘
Under a cut because oooooops, it got long. 😅
1. what is your watcher’s class? how does it relate to their backstory?
Eloi is a ranger, something that he picked originally out of necessity, really. He's from a poor family, raised by a single mother after his father went missing when he was just a little kid, and then when his mother became older and more frail, Eloi had to learn to take more and more responsibility to be able to support his mother in turn.
In Old Vailia where he grew up, things are not great. The few rich there are super rich while the rest have nearly nothing and job opportunities are scarce. Corruption is everywhere. But Eloi was brought up well and he didn't want to end up living a life of crime... so eventually, after first trying some things he wasn't proud of, he taught himself how to hunt with a bow to bring food to the table and to trade with animal hides and stuff. An honest trade.
When his mother became severely ill Eloi tried to find a more stable income by becoming a blacksmith's apprentice but eventually nothing came of it, and then when his mother died and with nothing tying him to Old Vailia anymore, Eloi took his animal companion and set out towards Dyrwood, confident in being able to make it in the foreign country with his ranger abilities, at least until he found something more stable, hopefully.
3. what are your watcher’s likes and dislikes (like the ones poe2 companions have)?
Based on actual ingame likes and dislikes I think Eloi's would be:
Likes: being dutiful, lightheartedness, being kind to animals, resourcefulness, pro-animancy
Dislikes: animal cruelty, slavery, pro-Leaden Key, religiousness, pro-Rauatai, anti-animancy, skulduggery
But to put it in my own words... Eloi appreciates honesty, hard work, ability to have fun and laugh at yourself, as well as compassion towards others, be they kith or wilder or animals. He is also a big fan of progress, especially so when it means more people can benefit from it, hence his stance on animancy, for example.
He can't stand injustice of any kind, cruelty or people lying to further their own interests, especially if it means putting others in bad situations to achieve that. He is also very much opposed to the blind faith in gods and the things people will do in their name.
9. who are your watcher’s favorite companions?
In Pillars of Eternity 1: Edér, Kana and Maneha.
Eloi took instant liking to Edér because their sense of humour is really similar and Edér is down to earth regular type of guy just like Eloi is, after all they both come from humble backgrounds. He is also kind and very handsome, so yeah, sue him, Eloi almost immediately developed a little crush, ok. He also immediately took a liking to Kana despite them not having nothing much in common to be honest, Kana being a scholar and Eloi being a poor uneducated nobody. But they share a passionate outlook on things and Kana tells good stories and much like Edér, Kana is also kind and loyal and those are traits that mean a lot to Eloi.
Something about Maneha also just immediately clicked with Eloi. The big barbarian woman is fun to be around and later on, after getting to know her better, Eloi and Maneha kinda bond over the fact that they are both gay, as well as the fact that they both have memories of a previous life that they'd rather forget.
In Pillars of Eternity 2: Edér (yes, still), Serafen and Tekēhu. (Also I know they're not technically companions but sidekicks, but Rekke and Vatnir). Oh, and Eloi gets along pretty well with Pallegina in PoE2 as well due to her sharing his dislike for religion and her support for animancy.
When it comes to the other favourites, Edér is of course still Eloi's homeboy (and also in my canon, though not in the game itself, eventually part of the sweet polycule that is Eloi/Edér/Tekēhu/Rekke), Serafen has a great sense of humour and is simply just a great friend (and to quote Serafen himself, kinda like a crazy uncle and everyone totally needs a crazy uncle in their lives 😂), Rekke is a laugh to be around, he's good in a fight and he's loyal (and really cute) and Tekēhu is quite endearing and has a sweet, soft, vulnerable side to him that Eloi comes to love once he gets behind that proud exterior.
And Vatnir... Well, Vatnir may be a hypocrite and a coward and a downright liar... but Eloi does kind of understand him and why he did what he did and he really just wants Vatnir to have a chance to experience something good after all the shit he's had to go through, and Eloi ends up befriending the endings godlike eventually.
11. who are your watcher’s least favorite companions?
In Pillars of Eternity 1: Definitely Durance. He is nasty and has nothing good to say about anyone ever and Eloi who was always taught to be polite can't really understand how anyone could be that unpleasant. Eloi tolerates Durance because as a generally tolerant and diplomatic person he wants to give everyone the benefit of the doubt... but Durance makes it really damn hard for him.
That being said, Eloi isn't exactly besties with Hiravias either because he is just a bit too crash and rude for Eloi's taste. But in the end they do have each others' backs and there is no active dislike between them, though they're not exactly friends either.
In Pillars of Eternity 2: I would have to say Maia and Xoti. Which is maybe kind of ironic considering how Maia and Kana from PoE1 are siblings, but Kana is a peaceful scholarly type of person while Maia is an active spy in her country's military and Eloi really dislikes the military tactics of Rauatai in general. Also she made Tekēhu cry so... yeah. You can't make Tekēhu cry and be on Eloi's good books.
Unlike Maia, Eloi does like Xoti, for the most part... but he does not like Xoti's absolute devotion to her god or her inability to accept the differing views of other people when it comes to religion especially. Maybe before the events of PoE1 they would've been better friends... but not after Eloi learned the truth about the gods. 🤷‍♀️
13. how does your watcher relate to their culture?
Despite having been born and raised in Old Vailia, Eloi has more Aedyr blood in him than Vailian, since both his parents were born in Aedyr empire and while his dad had some Vailian blood in him, it's from generations ago. His parents actually migrated to Old Vailia a few months before Eloi was born but they never really learned to fit in there properly and neither did Eloi. So really, he has no strong ties to Old Vailia now that his parents are both gone... but he doesn't really have strong ties to Aedyr either because while his blood is mostly Aedyran, he has never even been there himself, he's only heard stories.
Which is why he decided to go and leave for another country entirely after his mother's death prior to the events of PoE1. Because who knows, maybe he would find a culture to relate to in Dyrwood, at last.

octopath stories favorite to least favorite? !! including both 1 & 2 if u want!!!
hey. hi. hwat's up. i'm the #1 apologist/defender of the ot1 stories so it's more like tiers than ranking OK. this includes my biases.
mild spoilers for ot1
tier 1: cyrus & therion this one is obvious. biggest parts i like are how strongly cyrus' story indirectly characterizes him through how he makes very scary situations feel lower stakes bc he doesn't treat them very heavily (even if he should) / and how well written i think therion's thought process + Brain Problems are. specifically in the area where his healing is not linear. in fact with how he acts in cotc (summarized as: about as "friendly" as his early ch3 but not as much as ch4) it makes me think the events in ravus manor was a big push back for him and it wasn't only wellspring that gave him a kind of relapse or obstacle...
tier 2: primrose, h'aanit, alfyn. primrose is carried by her backstory imo. disclaimer i hate her visual (outfit) design but this is stories. and it's soo cool that the game does not dance (eheh.) around her being a sex worker nor does it imply she hates it or was forced into it. she chose to work in sunshade knowing what she was getting into because she decided it was her best chance at getting the information she needed. the job itself is neutral to her and its helgenish that's negative. i love h'aanit's story so much because it puts such a focus on her love for her adoptive father. she's super nonchalant about every incredible thing she does in her journey because "master has done jobs like these all the time." until she gets to the monster her father hasn't killed and even then she's like OK i need to go reunite with my fath- i mean mentor now. alfyn's is really good in theming & using foil characters to the fullest with vanessa, miguel, and ogen. really good at the nuance of the medical field and such.
tier 3: tressa, ophilia, olberic. to me no tier is that far below the above one i love them all so so much. so instead of rehashing the usual criticisms i'm gunna keep saying what i like about em. tressa's is well-suited to the coming-of-age theme while still keeping her in the context and stakes of the world. i think putting her in a port town was a great way to have her already be very well-versed in how to handle herself and conflict. ophilia's makes sense in her being 'bland' or her early chapters being too calm because like. that's kinda how she's been her entire life after joining the church. i think people just ignore lianna's part of the story beyond [major spoiler ahead] her being morally grey/temporarily antagonist because their dynamic is incredibly important to the story. lianna was always the one participating more directly in the church, delivering the sermons, and she was the one who was supposed to do the kindling. its their fathers illness that forces ophilia into that role that wasn't 'suited' to her because shes 'just' adopted, 'just' an orphan, 'just' a nice girl. also lianna's half of the story is about how people get coerced into joining cults so i dislike when she's reduced to a villain for being actively and intentionally manipulated (one of my friends didn't know, but mattias poisoned their father. he killed him, specifically to have power over his daugher/s. lianna wasn't decidedly turning to him for answers, he was pulling her along.) OK. i will be the first to admit that olberic's story is super weirdly paced but its a fun story. it escalates a little bit each chapter and ends with finality and closure. also ERHARDT ! !!!!!!! ERHARDT ERHARDT IS IN THIS ONE. we love that guy. i love that guy. olberic loves that guy.

Totally understand if you ignore this, but why is solimiller controversial? I haven't played the game that would feature them in it I guess but aren't they both adults??
well there's two reasons one is understandable the other i find a bit ridiculous
1) many people(understandably) dont like the age gap and power imbalance. though they meet as adults miller is i think 25(?) or so years older than solid as well as his superior/teacher while in foxhound(though so is fox lol). i think the main ick here is the same reason people like the pairing in the first place ie the fact miller had a relationship with big boss, who is solid's genetic father. both the appeal and the controversy lies in how its inherently kinda fucked up
2) a lot of people headcanon miller as having a parental relationship with solid, which is fine on its own but some people forget this is a headcanon with no hinting in the actual text, and call the ship "practically incest" which is pretty ridiculous. its alright to not like the ship because of this headcanon(or to dislike it for any reason you can hate whatever you want forever) but people very much so forget the diff between canon and hc.
we dont know that much about solid and miller's relationship all in all, on millers end all we know is whats stated in the mgsv stinger, that he wants to use solid to take take down big boss.
in mg2 they get along fine and in a deleted codec its implied solid knows millers daughter, and as for mgs1 we know solid at least considers himself close to miller, saying hes the person he trusts most.

Then we have Quackity. And having reread the prequel, this is the second time Wilbur almost gets screwed up by the light from the windows messing with his vision. If I had a nickel… and so on.
Anyway, they are friends! (And probably doing some may or may not be joking flirting.) It’s amazing how fast the light air disappears when Quackity tries to get info about the announcement and Wilbur won’t show his cards. To Quackity Wilbur is just playing coy or showing loyalty. While Wilbur just does not want Quackity to know that he doesn’t know because of all the aforementioned implications.
[He wanted Quackity to be successful. Just not as the future King.] Sums up how Wilbur views Quackity pretty well. He doesn’t hate or even dislike him. He’s just in the way of Niki’s success, and Wilbur does want to see Niki succeed very badly. Both because she’s his friend and because it’s a guaranty to his position as future consul. Wilbur even says he admires Quackity’s skill as a leader and his willingness to take risks.
He also says that his wit is on par with his own, which Quackity sees too. [But I want you to know that there can still be a place for you here, regardless of how things shake out tonight.”] You could take this as either 1. Quackity’s faith in Wilbur’s ability to be a good consul because he’s obviously trained to be, 2. Quackity’s believe that Wilbur is useful to have around because of personal knowledge about his skill set. 3. Quackity wanting to keep Wilbur around because they are friends or most likely 4. A combination of all of these.
There’s also the nod during dinner (or more like right before the announcement), which feels like an acknowledgement that even though Wilbur is sitting at Niki’s side, he still has a place with Quackity. Because Quackity full believes it to be the announcement and thinks he will ‘win’ on top of that.
Also, side note cuz this probably won’t fit anywhere else, but we haven’t really seen a lot of Niki and Quackity together, so I can’t guess too much about their relationship, BUT he did talk to her about to announcement after(?) the dinner. They do talk, which means they are at least on okay terms, which means Phil’s plan to have them know each other is kinda working (except for the part where both of them think they are entitled to be the heir and a third dog is about to arrive to get the bone.)
(2/?)
-🌲
BACK TO THE SPRUCE ROSE ASKS it's been a hot minute oops
hehe yeah the light in wilbur's eyes definitely isn't going to come back not at all nope
they're friends!! one of the things i'm most excited about with rose!tntduo is how their relationship is going to change over the course of the fic. they start out as childhood friends who, yes have this sense of rivalry always hanging over them, but it's never been too invasive. because while the choosing sides between quackity and niki existed, it wasn't fully there yet. choices like that didn't have to be made as children. but as the stakes get higher...
wilbur also admires quackity a lot. like niki is his best friend, his closest confidant besides his father, and the one who has promised him power for years now. so of course he's going to stay loyal to her. but he respects quackity and his intelligence. and quackity feels the same way about wilbur. despite the fact that wilbur is loyal to niki, quackity knows that since there's no true animosity between them, if he gets chosen as heir wilbur would be a powerful ally to hold onto. and also again, that's his friend! he wants wilbur to stick around.
you'll learn a bit more about quackity and niki's dynamic as the story develops, but yeah, right now the two of them are on pretty good terms. yes they're competing for the title of heir, but it's kind of a 'may the best man win' deal. they've grown up with each other, and have a lot of respect for the other as a result. while the trio of niki, wilbur, and quackity was never a proper 'trio', the three of them definitely snuck out into the palace gardens one night with a stolen bottle of wine and got drunk together.

Headcanons for JJBA characters? 🙏
oh yeah sure!
Notes: I headcanon that MIH created the new universe and the Part 1-Part 6 Universe still exists, just wiped the characters memories of it, like all of them. Except Emporio. This explains, spoilers ahead, headcanons for Emporio’s and some others!
Hol Horse from Part 3
Tumblr media
somewhere it mentions him being from Eastern Europe whether in a novel or something, but I headcanon he’s Greek-American.
Comes from a semi-big and wealthy Greek family of 5 siblings, 3 sons (including him) and 2 daughters. He’s the youngest (of the sons) and only his sisters are stand users
Has a kid somewhere, I just have no idea where exactly, maybe in Cario or somethin
Was born on December 13th (which is conveniently National Horse Day in America), 1966 which makes him 26-27 during SDC
Trish Una from Part Five

Had a stepfather at one point who was from America. Wasn’t that nice of a guy
Her grandfather on her mother’s side was still alive during Part Five and told her stories, died in 2004 :(
Similar thing to Doppio and Diavolo with two minds inhabiting one body. Except ✨she✨ Was the evil one, we all Stan a evil pink haired stand user. Or at least I do, wasn’t that evil anymore at the end of Golden Wind
Green spots appeared in her hair whenever she got really pissed
Married Giorno at 20. Yay.
Hates Dislikes Mista because he’s stinki
Erina Pendleton from Part One

Could play the violin thanks to her twin
Had a pet cat named Jacquelin, idk
Planted flowers outside her house for some reason
Rohan Kishibe from Part Four
Tumblr media
From an average sized family. Divorced parents and 2 siblings, a pair of twins. He was the oldest and the trio were all stand users, only his mother was a stand user though.
Was just always that weird. Wouldn’t cry in the day and all week but at the most random time on Tuesdays as a baby weird
His sister lives in France as a fashion designer and his brother lives in England as a ex-mangaka and a current novel writer. So yeah, pretty successful family.
He got his weirdness from his dad
Suzi Q from Part Two
Tumblr media
Was raised as an orphan at an orphanage. Was quite quiet as a kid.
I don’t really know what else to say except from the fact she was an only child.
Emporio Alnino from Part Six
Tumblr media
Secco’s kid, do- don’t ask.
True stand is called Turn Down For What which he awakened somewhere late 2014 to early 2015.
His mother dabbled in fortune telling before being sent to prison for unknown reasons, and was killed.
Has a fascination in Greek mythology, tarot cards and baseball.
Emporio’s is kinda outdated!

Who would the twst boys choose as their Stardew Valley Spouse? PART 1/2 (Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw & Octavinelle)
[Part 1, Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw & Octavinelle] <
[Part 2, Scarabia, Pomefiore, Ighnihyde & Diasomnia] Tomorrow!
Inspired by me getting a pc and playing ST again just to simp for Leah
(no images bc that would clog the post)
Contents ;; No mentions of reader, just headcanons, who would they marry and who would they hate?, purely self indulgent, EXTREMELY biased
Characters ;; Riddle, Trey, Cater, Ace, Deuce, Leona, Ruggie, Jack, Azul, Jade & Floyd
Riddle ;;
Marry: i dont think this needs an explanation, but Penny, like, they are both so similar and he feels like she would understand him perfectly, not to say that the fact that she is a teacher (meaning: quite smart) scores her higher
Hate: Deffinetly Pam, he somewhat feels bad for her because of her addiction, but he believes that that is no excuse to treat her daughter (Penny) bad, also she reminds him of her own mother, but at the other side of the expectrum
Trey ;;
Marry: maybe also Penny, since he absolubtely adores the fact that she teaches kids and is so good at taking care of them, or maybe even Krobus, i dont really have a reason for this, it just fits
Hate: not full on hate, but Shane, deffinetly just because he should be the one in charge of Jas and he doesn't (although if he saw when Shane apologizes for not taking care of her, he would warm up a lil bit to him)
Cater ;;
Marry: Haley, he doesnt exactly like her at first because shes kinda mean but he gets a couple of hearts and loves the fact that she has a love for photography
Hate: Elliot, i feel like hed believe he's too pretentious, and would actively dislike him after he said that farming is easy, not like what he does, writting, like, dude wtf
Ace ;;
Marry: I feel like he'd go first for Abigail for the "emo gf" but end up marrying Sam because their both lil shits (affectionate)
Hate: He would hate Pierre for shittin on Sam while skating (and being a bad father to Abigail
Deuce ;;
Marry: I feel like at first he would just try winning hearts with everyone to be friends with them, at first he would slightly dislike Alex (since he sees his past as a bully in him) but after some character development would be like "you and me, bros" and marry him (ALSO ADORES GRANNY EVELYN)
Hate: i cant think of anyone that hed extremely hate MAN, he may have read during a yearly event Caroline saying that she wishes that Pierre would spend more time with the family, and from then on would not like him very much
Leona ;;
Marry: I feel like he wouldn't even bother getting to know any of the villagers to be honest LMAO, but if he had to.... maybe Harvey, he'd think that if he married him he would heal him for free but after finding that he charges his spouse divorce him immediatly, or maybe.... Shane, i dont think this one needs an explanation
Hate: Almost everyone, but mainly Haley, Emily, Elliot, maybe Pierre and Lewis ( last two hella valid)
Ruggie ;;
Marry: KROBUS!!!! he'd deffinetly grow very attached to the lil shadow dude, he somewhat feels familiar with him (bith of their hometowns are kinda run down, try to do anything they can to survive.... THEY'RE SOULMATES!!!) also off track but he'd be the one that would get the most money, maybe just after azul
Hate: He deffinetly hates the Joja Mart dude, Pierre and Lewis
Jack ;;
Marry: Alex, definetly, hed try fighting him him at first (jk) but he would end up warming to alex and would want to play sports with him, also ADORES granny Evelyn, and ig George too ig
Hate: He's very family oriented so he would not be able to stand anyone that does not treat their family as they should, like Demetrius, Pierre, Pam and Shane, maybe also Haley, (He likes quinoa)
Azul ;;
Marry: listen, listen to me, he wouls go after Abigail JUST BECAUSE he thinks he will get some short of family discount after marrying her from Pierre, and when he finds out that that does not work that way, he will inmediatly divorce her and turn any children they had into doves
Hate: Im sorry but i feel like this man would hate Linus (+ he would read the theory that says that Linus was Joja's co-CEO/founder and would be flaggerghasted that a man would give up such oportunity)
Jade ;;
Marry: Krobus. it just fits so well. also he the moment he sees that you are able to get a mushroom cave hes goin crazy, gives thousands of gifts to demetrius as a thanks
Hate: idk man i dont think he would actively hate anyone??? like hes the type to get hearts with everyone so they give him free stuff, but if he had to dislike someone, it could be Lewis, since he is the mayor but does jack shit to keep the town goin, or Haley because sometimes she is mean to her sister
Floyd ;;
Marry: definetly Emily they both have... something going on in their heads, and he thinks shes pretty fun to have around
Hate: Lewis, hes just... so boring and if he sees him shittin on sam for doin flips in town he will hate him even more, and also Demetrius, he gives. mushrooms. also way too strict and extremely rude to sebastian just because, and deffo Clint, he hates that incel (valid)

Personality: Zuma is a difficult one to be around as he is very cold towards a lot of people but he has been raised the life of going hungry for days and having to always steal to survive. He has a hard time trusting anyone but his brother Zuna. If you do earn his trust you will find he is just like his brother mostly. Kind but he speaks unlike Zuna. He prefers to be ahead of things and won't admit he was wrong just that he knew that he was just testing you.
Dere Type: Tsundere quite often
Tumblr media
Fun Facts: Zuma is attending NRC on special conditions. He is labeled as a 3rd year but only has homeroom with 3rd years as rest of his classes are with 1st years. He was granted a 1 year admission.
Zuma is the second in command of his father's group of Thieves. He hopes he can become the leader just to make father happy but often really wants to leave such a life too as he is sick of it.
It is highly likely that Zuma and Zuna have been switched once as children for something and never switched back.
Zuma is a Kleptomaniac same as Zuna yet he is way worse with it as he hasn't had time to stop doing it. He hopes Zuna can help him out with it since Zuna is less problematic with it.
Tumblr media
He holds small grudges if you did him wrong and will pester you til he gets revenge or you to say sorry. Some won't just say sorry.
Zuma's left wing has a hole in it from a bullet wound he never got medically fixed so his feathers around it just grew darker. You can kinda see through the hole. He can't fly fully because of this.
He just adores his brother so much and they have always been together til Zuna left to escape the thief life. Zuma wants to as well but unsure if he could make it out in the world with just him and Zuna.
There's a dagger somewhere on him at all times just in case. It's just a habit as he always has one in case attacked at night. The scars show how much he been attacked so he can't be without a weapon.

Roy: 2, 14 and/or 15, 23, 28
2. When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like)
I think I've always been pretty neutral on Roy as a character. I know it's extremely popular to adore him relentlessly but there was always something about him that threw me off and I could never explain it on the first couple of watches. I did deeply sympathize with him during the finale of season 1 and the first couple of episodes of season 2, but ultimately, I started to dislike him after a couple of rewatches because I felt like he never grew as a character.
He stayed very stagnant and consistently angry during both seasons, while the people around him changed and grew (for better and for worse). I always hated how hostile he was with Jamie, even when Jamie was consistently showing a personal change in who he was and showing a want to connect with Roy on a more mature level. Roy has two separate acts of physical aggression towards Jamie (one actual physical act and one threat) AFTER witnessing what Jamie's father did to him and straight up comforting Jamie mere seconds after the fact. As someone who's been through extremely similar things as Jamie has, it was kinda terrifying and difficult to watch because it brought up a lot of memories of people who I thought were my support system but would quickly turn hostile toward me in situations that didn't have to do with me.
One thing I want to acknowledge that I do like and appreciate about what Roy does in the final two episodes of season 2, is that he does take the time to acknowledge and credit Nate's hard work and strategies with the team. But it did seem too little, too late, and it was to only one person, out of a whole team of people, that he ever seemed vocally boost up their work in such a way. I felt like there were other people that could have benefitted from Roy taking the time to recognize and be proud of. I shall remain hopeful for season 3 though, if Roy's somewhat-there growth in the last couple of episodes is any indication, I think he has the potential to become a better of a person in season 3.
15. worst storyline they had
I think he has a few bad storylines, especially in relation to how he individually interacts with Keeley and Jamie.
I think his worst is the build-up storyline with Keeley to him buying tickets to Marbella for 6 weeks on a whim. He was so shocked that his grand romantic gesture was not well received and his immediate assumption was that Keeley was breaking up with him; he took no consideration of the changes going on in Keeley's life and what the consequences of those changes were and what her immediate needs would be while going through those changes. Although, I think it is reflective of two earlier "grand" romantic gestures that were the subject of miscommunication between the two of them. The first was Roy going down on Keeley while she watched his retirement video. It was supposed to come off as an apology sorta thing but to me, it came across that neither of them could be upfront about their needs in the relationship (Keeley included), and instead of having a frank conversation about it, Roy just went down on Keeley instead to make up for it. The second was Keeley feeling like she needed space from Roy but not communicating that to him at all. She told half the club and then blew up on him, resulting in him getting angry at those around him and then turning around and proceeding with another grand romantic gesture of a rose-petaled bath and a playlist; where again, they did not seem to have an honest conversation with a resolution about it. I think they're both at fault here, but it makes sense that Roy took the rejection of the grand romantic Marbella trip as a rejection of himself, considering that his previous grand romantic gestures worked out just fine.
14. best storyline they had
I really liked the arc of him finding his way back to Richmond after he retired. He was lost and coaching his niece's football team, sorta waffling around as he tried to find his way in life. To becoming a pundit for a bit, where he was in touch with football again but in a different way than before. My favorite moment of this arc was when he met up with Ted and Isaac to help Isaac get out of his head. I felt like you could really see Roy light up in a way he hadn't before in that season and realizing what he really wanted and knowing he finally had a chance to get there and take it.
23. Future headcanon
I think Roy really starts becoming more invested in his personal relationships and in the community and people around him. To backtrack, he left his home at 9 years old and I think that emotionally stunted him to a huge detriment. I think that future Roy really starts to take stock in what he values in his own life and his relationships with people (more than just his relationship with Phoebe) and starts to overcome that emotional immaturity. I would genuinely like him to go to therapy and/or anger management classes, but definitely at least therapy.
28. The most unnecessary thing they ever did?
I may be a bit hyper-fixated on this but I thought it was when Jamie came to talk to him privately (which we learn is an apology from Jamie) and Roy literally threatens to punch all of Jamie's teeth out. Most importantly, he saw first-hand what Jamie's dad was like and knew that Jamie might not be the person who would respond well to threats of physical violence at all, which goes to show that Roy doesn't really have an understanding of who Jamie is as a person. Secondly, he jumps immediately into threatening Jamie without giving Jamie a chance to speak! I think it really speaks to his lack of growth and maturity as a character. I know he was angry and upset at Jamie, but he didn't even give Jamie a chance to say anything or even stand up for himself before getting aggressive.
I would like to say, above all else, Roy isn't the worst character by far, I've just become a bit jaded about how he's handled things and it's soured him for me a bit. We still have a whole other season and I hope the writers have better things in store for him because I do think he's got potential, especially in his relationship with Phoebe and what the means to him.
send me a character and a number and i’ll answer the correlating question
