Headcanons on going to the beach with Junkrat
AN: I haven't written in awhile so I decided for some short headcanons for my boy Junkrat. I might add more in the future
Warning: only a tiny mention of nsfw but it's really small
- The two of you rarely go to the beach and when you do it's always as far away from people as possible
- You both like your privacy because one, Jamieson is kinda of a wanted criminal (along with you) and two, the both of you can enjoy being yourselves without others staring and judging
- Junkrat having absolutely no clue how to swim and you teaching him
- Igniting bombs under the sand to make a giant whole instead of digging
- Jamison running around the whole beach and bringing you the most beautiful seashells
- You giving him a kiss every time he comes back with more
- Him resting his head on your stomach as you both lay underneath a beach umbrella
- Him trying to chase you in the water but you are way more experienced in swimming so you without difficulty swim away
- You diving down and swimming behind him to scare Jamison out
- Definitely making at least one sandcastle where you put little dried wood pieces all over the place and light it up making it look like the place is on fire
- If you two spot anyone in the distance, you both make sure to be extra loud and more graphic about how you're going to commit certain crimes
- That has always worked like a charm. No matter what person or people sped walked away and you guys never saw them again
- Having a waterproof arm and leg custom made for Jamieson so he has an easier time swimming and moving in the water
- Diving down and picking up random things for the sea bed and Junkrat being completely amazing at how deep and long you can go/stay underwater
- Helping Junkrat put suncream on his back and after he's covered fully you give him a few pecks on the lips
- The both of you making out your towel as the sun is going down which leads to a bit of more spicy touching but nothing too much
- The rest is left for when they got back to their home
- Blowing up the sand castle with a stick of dynamite while laughing like crazy together
- Making a giant bonfire in the evening and roasting some meat on it for supper
- Definitely another makeout sesh next to the fire
- Mako picking you guys up after you decided to go back home
- Having a joined bath to wash away all the salt water

I just watched an absolutely incredible video about Rufus Shinra and why he can see the whispers (Link) and wanted to add on to it. It's quite long, so I'll provide a summary(ish):
Essentially, the creator of the video had three theories as to why Rufus could see them: I want to dive into the last two, which hypothesize he is Cetra or had Jenova cells injected into him (more so about the Cetra).
About the Cetra theory:
Essentially, it states that he is part Cetra because he a) can see the whispers and b) seems to possess some level of precognition, much like Aerith.
Firstly, I'd like to discuss how his mother is only mentioned to have died when he was young; this doesn't necessarily mean that Ifalna is his mother, as she can't be the only pureblooded Cetra alive after two thousand years (unless she's the product of a lot of inbreeding).
He seems to show up at pivotal moments by almost pure coincidence (or so it seems) without having any explanations offered. This sense for important moments and appearance of precognition becomes more interesting when you take a look at the Diamond Weapon's attack on Shinra Tower.
Rufus ended up having his life saved during the Diamond Weapon's attack from the very escape route he had suggested as a child, which just so happened to have the entrance exactly where he was taking shelter. keep in mind that Rufus was only five years old when he made the suggestion; President Shinra had no reason (unless you consider the humiliation aspect) to include this in the plans. However, if the President somehow knew that Rufus was special/Cetra, then the inclusion (his office is 70 floors up, mind you; installing that seems a little silly if only based off of the ramblings of a kindergartener) makes a hell of a lot more sense.
The President has also maintained that he doesn't believe in sentiment or attachment; if he had known Rufus was Cetra, it would have been a legitimate reason to include the escape route. Shinra scientists thought the scribblings of young Aerith were important, so why not the seemingly logical ramblings of a five year old who was also Cetra be just as crucial? Also, Rufus did not only say an escape route should be built, he said why; if an enemy attacked from the top their would be no way to escape...which is exactly where the Diamond Weapon attacked from.
Rufus also seems to have these...gut feelings, let's say. Sounds similar to Aerith, right? How she feels pulls to places, to things, suchlike Rufus. This also ties into the Jenova Cells theory, so let's dive into that...
Jenova Cells:
I'd like to start right off of the bat by saying this is purely speculation. I find this interesting nonetheless. This also will probably jump around and seems a bit more headcanon-y and random than the stuff about the Cetra, considering I am wayyy more interested in the Cetra theory. Anyway, let's dive in!
The theory that Rufus was the first (before even Genesis) to receive Jenova cells is plausible for several reasons. First, I'd like to discuss the year in which he was born. In the OG, his age was stated to be 25, which was changed to 30 in the remake--pretty random and unnecessary, at a glance. But it gets a lot more interesting once you realize that that would mean that Rufus was born in 1977...the year Jenova was discovered at the North Crater.
President Sinra has done some awful stuff, and I honestly don't think he'd be totally above injecting unknown substances into his unborn child (especially if Rufus was actually a bastard child that he decided to use in experiments then keep.) Anyway...
While some may argue that his eyes are blue, not glowy green, the glow and green come from mako, not Jenova. Even if there is a correlation between eye/hair color and Jenova cells, he does have light, bright blue eyes (like Genesis) and silvery blond hair. It could be a design choice, it could mean something more.
Then there are the physical strength aspects. He was able to go toe to toe with Cloud, not even showing visible signs of fatigue. Heck, he even parried a blow from the Buster Sword! While Cloud is not a true SOLDIER, he is strong enough that people think so anyway when he tells him that, and also beat Reno, Rude, and other powerful enemies. Meanwhile, Rufus soloed Cloud (with the help of Darkstar/Dark Nation) and didn't seem to be seriously injured.
Furthermore, when Rufus is infected with Geostigma in On the way to a Smile, he says something along the lines of "it felt like it [the Geostigma] was calling to me..." Now, this sounds suspiciously like the pull receivers of J cells feel to Jenova (which could help explain Rufus' presence at the Northern Crater).
I'd really recommend watching at least some of the video, as it explains things way better than I did (it's very long though, so be warned).
Lastly, I'd like to discuss something not touched upon in the video: his coins, more specifically the side of the coin with Darkstar/Dark Nation on it. This coin depicts Darkstar/Dark Nation and flowers, specifically mandragora/mandrake flowers. Why is this important? There are several reasons.
These flowers have been involved in stories and superstitions about magical powers and other tales of the like. It was said in some tales that they could only be harvested in moonlight by a black dog attached to a cord (Darkstar/Dark Nation, anyone? She does appear on that side of the coin, hmm....) after proper rituals had been conducted. Some tales said that they were tied to dark powers, that, get this, drove men mad if they heard their roots shriek. The roots are also highly poisonous.
Now, I'd like to look at color theory and the symbolism of colors in FFVII. In this game, the color yellow seems to symbolize life, hope, and rebirth, whereas purple seems to symbolize desolation, corruption, and death. Yellow is associated with Aerith through her flowers, and purple with Sephiroth for his shadowy magic. They are also contrasting colors; two sides of the same coin (pun absolutely intended). How does this connect to the coins and flowers, you ask? Well, the mandragora/mandrake flowers have a color range of...purple to yellow. Interesting, because Rufus is easily one of the most morally grey characters in the game.
Again, all of this is wild ramblings and pure speculation, so take it with a grain of salt.

Fluffy February 2024 Master List
Huzzah! I wrote 29 things for Fluffy February (ok, 28 things plus one very fluffy chapter for my bigger fluffy fan fic).
Highlights: I developed my canon for both Lenn Teraan and Cole Cantarus. I wrote another Akaavi/Mako piece (someone needs to write them an epic Carbonite Years fic). I posted my most explicit work so far (is that a low light?). Dr. Oggurobb has decided to weigh in a lot lately.
I'll post the round up list, and then reblog with the AO3 link.
Snow -- 10 ATC - the smuggler crew lands on Alderaan
Eavesdrop -- 22 ATC -- Someone is spying in the cantina.
Entertain -- 21 ATC -- Theron and Eva do an intel drop at a casino.
Learn -- 10 ATC -- Eva learns how to dance from Lenn Teraan.
Planet -- 29 ATC (chronologically "now" in canon) -- Eva buys a planet. Because.
Fire -- 36 ATC -- Eva, Theron, and the big family on Odessen roast marshmallows.
Recovery -- 24 ATC -- Eva recovers from the Nathema Conspiracy. Risha makes sure of it. CW for untended anorexia.
Smile --over the years -- Theron's teeth may not be real, but his smiles are.
Storm -- 5 ATC -- Eva meets her first magnetic storm.
Care -- 21/22 ATC -- After Theron is injured, Eva makes sure he gets the care he needs.
Quest -- 39 ATC -- Theron and his band of adventurers... need to go to bed.
Discipline -- 40 BTC -- the Grand Admiral headcanon/backstory that's been rattling around.
Splurge -- 25 ATC -- Eva buys Theron a gift that isn't exactly what he wanted.
Free space! I added to Elysium, for a little while.
Craft -- Carbonite Years -- Akaavi knits something for Mako for the first time; in terms of the relationship, that's a big deal.
Spontaneous --- Theron and Eva rope Lana into one of their schemes.
Pleasure -- 22 ATC -- Eva speculates on some of the alternative universes in which she met Theron differently.
Pain -- sometime between 25 ATC and 29 ATC -- Bit of a kinky piece wherein Theron has his old scars replaced by Eva. This is Explicit for sexual activity, biting, bruising, and blood.
Shadow -- the legend of the Voidhound, from a child's perspective.
Partners -- 21 ATC -- A Theron/Eva heist fic, with their radio comms as cover
Reward -- 40 ATC -- Dr. Oggurobb finally retires... or so he thinks, thanks to Bowdaar.
Sacrifice -- 29 ATC (between patches 7.2 and 7.3) -- Theron sacrifices one of the few things to survive from his childhood. Eva is a pregnant person in this fic, so CW for that.
Dance - Eva dances with Jace Malcom. This is a continuation of an eventual post-Nathema fic about a party.
Apology -- 28 ATC (Between Elom and 7.3) -- Theron liberates Arcann from his job at a fast food join in Dromund Kaas by punching him in the face. No, I will not elaborate (I will totally elaborate).
Kiss -- 21 ATC -- Theron thinks about the his views on good morning kisses in the early days after Eva's return.
Rain -- 21 ATC -- Theron finds Eva out in the rain after Koth is worried about her. It's not as bad as it looks.
Protect -- 14 ATC -- Dr. Oggurobb meets the Voidhound on Makeb.
Shy -- 13 ATC -- Cole Cantarus becomes friends with benefits with Eva (she pays at the bar).
Fresh -- anytime after 23 ATC -- C2-N2 tries to start spring cleaning on Virtue's Thief. "Tries" is the operative word here.

Makorra Week 2023: Day 6 – First Date (AKA: HAPPY BIRTHDAY @messymosaic!!!)
Thank you to the brilliant @becasart for this absolutely breath-taking commission for @makorra-week-2023! I am...criminally late (sorry...yada yada life happens yada). But, I figure that this glorious work doubling as a way to say Happy Birthday to the great @messymosaic is the PERFECT opportunity 🥹💙🥳🎂🎊🎉
Headcanon rambles under the cut:
I imagine this taking place after the B1 finale, the evening of the day Korra got her bending back. It’s going to be a couple of days until the next boat for Republic City, and there is plenty of work awaiting Korra there. So until then, she has some time. They have some time 🥰 
Korra chose to take Mako to a favorite spot of hers: a remote glade with an open view of the Southern Lights. It was one of her favorite spots to visit on the rare occasions she was let out of the compound. She’s never shared it with anyone other than Naga, and she secretly wanted to see Mr. Cool Guy’s eyes light up when he saw that glowing skyline 😏
Needless to say, she had him speechless. But while those Southern Lights easily eclipsed all of Republic City’s most boastful views, the most beautiful sight for Mako was the smiling figure looking right back at him. She is his Avatar, and he’s her Idiot ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

First part of the new Vincent model analysis: the armor
Tumblr media
link to the second part: X
Link to the third part: X
Hi all, sorry for the incoming essay but I really would like to share with you my own analysis of the Vincent model shown at the Game awards 2023, because I think there are many things to say and many theories around the new, little but really important changes to his old model. Important disclaimers to me:
I cannot fully explain all the changes, some of them still remain obscure to me. Besides, it’s likely I will forget some of the many ideas I have around this character.
I prefer dividing this text into different parts, in order to not bother you with a giant text and not lose myself in the process. I will promise I will keep my ideas; I just need a little time. I expect to write down three parts.
My head canons consider the previous theories belonging to @phantomyre about Vincent’s model, so please, read them because they are very insightful and, honestly, really really cool, go give the user lotsa hearts and support! the link is here
Not an English mother tongue :3 Expect some mistakes, as usual, and forgive me if I’m not clear on some passages.
So, let us begin with the armor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As @Phantomyre said, this new armor is a lot sharper and heavier, useful for protecting the weaker limbs: Vincent loses points in agility to get more a more offensive/defensive stance, in line with Doc’s gameplay in which Vincent can melee using shoes and claws as slashing weapons, less in line with og Vincent whose stats lacked a lot in attack and defense stats. One thing I noticed: kneecap sabatons seem to already exist in one single iteration of VV, world map Vincent in Og game:
Tumblr media
I don’t know if it’s causation, correlation, bug or other, but the similarities are interesting, so by now I will consider this as a re-taking of an old model.
Second thing I noticed: while in the Og the armor pieces cut Vincent's arm and feet with a clear line, suggesting they were prosthetics, be they for missing or monstrous limbs, rather than an armor. Double V's DOC version keeps the ambiguity, but this one not so much, borders are not straight anymore but jagged. However, if you still are on the "Vincent's arm is deformed" or "Vincent's arm is missing" board, nothing has been made explicit so I think you can still lie there and head-canoning to no end, creativity is endless.
Third thing to notice: as other users have noted and put into light, claws and sabatons are filthy af, look at the dirt and the dust at the borders: this design is not just a nightmare for the artists, but a horrible thing to witness hygiene wise. "Best" way to highlight dirt collected in your body, the only worse way to show this was to share with us Vincent's fingernails.
Now, for my favorite half theory, half no source headcanon: I've been thinking for a long time that Vincent is a visual re-telling of another ff character, the only one that shares with him the ability to turn into Chaos: so out of curiosity, I went to see if my idea could have a basis, and this is what I saw.
Tumblr media
Personally, I love seeing the similarity between the lines used to divide the armor pieces, so my opinion in this case is not too farfetched to me.  You can criticize this idea, though, because at the end of the day it can be just a great coincidence. I just love some full golden armor-clad VV, you just need a giant sword to complete the lovable picture.
About the other golden armored character present in ff7, Minerva,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I too think that there could be a subtle narrative around Vincent, namely the fact that Minerva and Chaos are horned WEAPONS designed to protect the planet, one as a god of pure mako and light, one as a god of tainted mako and darkness. Still, where Vincent armor is sharp, edgy and shinra-like, Minerva is all smoothness, lilies and elegance (and the inner layer of the armor is blue). In my opinion my theory is forced, but it has a point, I just need some revelations from the official game and the devs to further develop this theory.
So, to resume: Vincent now looks like a rusty knight, who has lost the love of his life trying to protect her, and now awaits under layers of dust until a colored bunch of people armed to the teeth comes knocking at his door. His reaction:
Tumblr media
With this, I say you bu-bye, next time I will try to talk about VV eyes and their connection with VV four fiends.

Rainbow's New FF7 HC's/Canon Timeline
This is just a place for me to shove a timeline of both the canon and my headcanons so when I think to myself 'wait how long was Zack a mentee' or 'How old was Sephiroth here' then I can just look here.
[headcanons in brackets]
1959 - Shinra discovers a way of manufacturing Materia.
1968 - The first mako reactor is created in Nibelheim.
1970 - Professor Gast becomes the head of Shinra’s Research & Development also known as the Science Department.
1972 - The second mako reactor is created in Midgar. This begins the construction of Midgar of the modern day.
1976 
- Reactor Eight comes online and Shinra headquarters operations begin on June 24th. 
- Grimoire Valentine begins to translate the Chaos/Omega tablets with his team. After requesting further help, a recent graduate in Biotechnology and former head of her class Lucrecia Crescent is recruited. 
1977
 - On an expedition to the Northern Crater, Gast discovers the body of what he  believes to have been a Cetra. This body is given the name Jenova and brought to Reactor One. These are the Jenova Project experiments
- Grimoire Valentine is killed in a laboratory accident.
- September Upon realising this body still has viable material, a team is put together to study it and through genetic grafting, create the abilities that the Cetra had to manipulate the lifestream in Shinra’s private army. This leads to the creation of Project 0 SOLDIERs (SOLDIERs without enhancements that have been put through training to reach the height of their capabilities) while other SOLDIERs injected with Jenova cells and/or mako become monstrous mutations.
- Experimentation is done using unborn babies to see if they will develop with the gene grafting but there are no living results. One of the scientists, Gillian [Ohara], chooses to inject herself with the cells to dilute the J-cells and after promising initial tests, a sub project (Project Gillian also known as Project G) is set up.  [The volunteer parents are their current Turk security Keris and Gast himself.]
- Vincent Valentine arrives as the new security for the project. He strikes up a romantic relationship with Lucrecia, unaware of the relationship she had with his father.
- [Once Project G successfully receives the initial J-cell infusions without issue, there is a party in the Shinra where a drunken rendezvous between Gillian and another scientist on Project G, Hollander, results in Gillian conceiving a child. After realising her pregnancy may be impacted by J-cell infusions she’s been taking, Gillian loops her own pregnancy in with Project G.]
1978
- Vincent proposes to Lucrecia, but she rejects his advances and instead, becomes involved with Professor Hojo. 
- [May 17th] The first baby is born to Project G, named Genesis. [This is about six weeks premature due bodily mutations from the J-cell infusion, causing his biological mothers death before delivery.]
- Initial tests show that Genesis has a ‘unique’ factor but there are no visible signs he is anything other than human.  However, the SOLDIER infirmary  at Mako Reactor 0 (a secret underground facility known as Deepground) was turned into an experimentation facility using samples from Genesis. 
- [June] Lucrecia realises she’s pregnant and both she and Hojo decide to use their child as the subject of their own project. Using the research from the initial work and the Project G work to refine their formula to accommodate a larger amount of J-cells, Project S begins.  
- [August 25th] Gillian gives birth to Angeal and again, there are no obvious signs of Jenova in him. 
- [December 21st]  Sephiroth is born to Lucrecia and Hojo, though he is quickly taken from Lucrecia before she can hold him.
- [December 28th] In light of Sephiroth, Project G is put on ice. 
- [December 31st] Gillian takes Angeal from Midgar and attempts to run with him.
1979
- [January] Once Gillian is retrieved, an arrangement is made: Banora, a village that had been set up on a Mideel island, would become their new home. All information would become classified other than the overseers of the town and they would be allowed to live out life quietly. Surveillance would be set up to observe them, but if nothing happened, they could be left alone. Shinra would also offer Gillian money to get set up as hush money, but she refused it and wanted nothing more to do with Shinra. 
- [February] Feeling unsure of how to proceed or if he has made a mistake,  Gast chooses to take a leave of absence to explore the Cetra. Although he would return periodically, he resigned his post as head of the department. 
- Arrangements are made for Genesis to be fostered by a wealthy couple with Shinra ties who buy out the orchards on Banora. They’re told to report periodically to Shinra on him but otherwise, they’ll raise him as theirs. 
1980-1983
 - [On his fact finding mission, Gast meets a young woman named Ifalna who is the local Cetran expert at Icicle Inn.]
- Lucrecia continues to work at reactor one but her health deteriorates, much to the concern of Vincent. 
- Sephiroth is raised largely by Hojo at the Shinra mansion. Although Lucrecia is at her laboratory in the same building, the two never cross paths. Gast visits periodically and Sephiroth grows an attachment to him. 
- [Gast brings Ifalna to see the ancient body at Nibelheim and upon her horror, discovers that Jenova is not a Cetra but the alien virus that wiped them out. In revealing this, Ifalna also reveals she is the last Cetra left.]
- Gast and Ifalna leave Shinra and go on the run. Meeting with another former Shinra scientist, Bugenhagan, both he and Ifalna remain on the run rather than have her fall into Shinra’s hands. The two fall in love and eventually marry.
1984 
- Concerned over Lucrecia, Vincent confronts Hojo about the project and Hojo shoots him. Not one to waste a body that can’t say no, Hojo uses Vincent’s body for further experimentation and this grants him the ability to transform into creatures and gives him a near invulnerable state.
- In an attempt to save Vincent’s life, Lucrecia’s last act before attempting to end her life is to embed Vincent with powerful proto-materia that contains the embodiment of the Chaos weapon that she and his father were researching. She records herself in the hopes he will be able to understand and disappears back to the Grotto where she and Grimoire did their research on stagnant lifestream but the Jenova cells in her body encase her in crystal stasis rather than letting her die. 
- Hojo is made the head of Research and Development. Project S packs up and moves to Midgar.
- Vincent locks himself away to wallow in a coffin (perfectly reasonable response)
1985
- February 7th Having settled into Icicle Inn, Ifalna gives birth to a baby called Aerith. 
- February 27th Hojo comes to Icicle Inn, murdering Gast and taking Ifalna back to Shinra with her daughter. Ifalna submits to the testing process to protect Aerith and they are largely careful with her as they don’t know yet if Aerith has inherited much from her mother.
- In Deepground, Genesis’s genetic material is used to create the first Deepground child known as Rosso.  Genetically engineered to push the limits of SOLDIER abilities, Rosso is pushed to the harshest possible limits in order to collect information on what SOLDIER can be capable of. 
- [May 17th] Genesis and Angeal meet for what they believe is the first time.
- [September 25th] Zack Fair is born in Gongaga.
1986
- August 11th Cloud Strife is born in Nibelheim.
- Using the research from Grimoire Valentine and Lucrecia Crescent’s project and Project Gillian, two Deepground scientists began injecting mako into unborn babies. The only survivor was named Weiss. 
1987
– May 3rd Tifa Lockhart is born in Nibelheim
- The third child in the Deepground experiments is born. Nero was born to Weiss’s parents but was injected with stagnant lifestream which gave him the ability to open dark portals, swallowing his own mother in one when he was born. Though many other children were born in Deepground, the three original were orphaned and thus, pushed through a harder regime than anyone else based on their unique abilities. 
1988 – Shinra security officer Glenn Lodbrok saves fellow officer Matt Winsord and both are later saved by Lucia Lin.
1989 - SOLDIER candidates - including Glenn, Matt and Lucia - are put through extensive training as part of Project 0. This is the beginning of the SOLDIER program.
1991 - November 20th Yuffie Kisaragi is born.
1992 
- War breaks out between Wutai and Shinra. 
- Used as a promotional tool for Shinra, Sephiroth is dispatched out under supervision.
- Upon realising that Aerith was coming into her abilities, Shinra begins to push her limits by using a variety of torturous techniques. Ifalna decides to escape but knowing they have a viable candidate in Aerith, their treatment of Ifalna becomes less careful and they only make it as far as the Train station at Sector 5 before Ifalna dies.
- Aerith is taken in by recently widowed Elmyra Gainsborough, the daughter in law of the construction company Shinra used and the Turks are sent after her. However, they do not bring her in and instead only observe her.
- Sephiroth meets Glenn, Matt and Lucia.
1994 
- [July Genesis and Angeal enlist in SOLDIER. Although they are taken to basic training, it’s only a week before they’re taken in for SOLDIER enhancements through Hollander.]
- [August Sephiroth and Angeal meet and spar for the first time. Genesis and Sephiroth meet and Genesis throws a sword at his head. It’s how he shows affection, okay? 
- [October First deployments for Genesis and Angeal]
-  [December The Da Hoa mission]

'Many characters in Final Fantasy VII have green eyes, all of them a slightly different shade. Aerith, as a Cetra, has eyes that are a light, vibrant green, the color of springtime grass or the buds of flowers. They express beauty, renewal, life. For members of SOLDIER, green eyes are the direct cause of Mako exposure, and so they have a somewhat fluorescent, artificial sheen to them. Cloud, for reasons that we'll explore later on, has had less Mako exposure than other members of SOLDIER, and so the green of Mako energy has blended with his eyes natural blue, creating something akin to aquamarine, the color of a stormy sea or a sky full of clouds - expressing his turbulent and unsettled personality.'
watching that video and had to stop to type this out because holy fuck finally someone has awknowledged mako isn't blue thus mako blue - it really isn't a thing in canon lore. mako is green and the color fused in SOLDIER's eyes reflect that color of mako green. i feel so validated.
though i am pretty sure that zack and roche have the same blue / green eye effect that cloud does. we can't go by angeal and genesis because the psp didn't show the 'mako' effect gifted to eyes and their eyes were colored blue instead ( which is likely where 'mako blue' came from tbh, even though that isn't the color of mako ).
however, i really like this a lot. because cloud didn't undergo the exact SOLDIER treatment, even if he has the chemical make-up of one by technicality only after hojo is done with him - i like the idea his eyes may've been effected differently and may look more off than the standard SOLDIER. i'm pretty sure that mentioned above is this authors headcanon but god damn if i don't actually love it.

Delusional Headcanons with Mako Hour:
when they were kids, Serin-019 and Naomi-010 were actually incredibly close. Seeing as they were consecutive numbers in the Spartan roster, their beds were next to each other so they were kind of forced into each other’s orbit closer than they might have been otherwise-
they did not start out as friends though! while Naomi could have been considered a very mature child in a normal context, she also came from a family where she was spoiled and doted on, meaning that the first few weeks/months of the Spartan programme’s grueling training was incredibly hard on her emotionally as well as physically. But to the semi-feral, school of hard knocks survivor Serin, Naomi was just a pathetic crybaby, and she had very little time for her behavior.
Being in the Spartan programme was an upgrade on the kind of life that Serin had been living up to that point so she may have felt a bit shocked at Naomi’s lack of “gratitude” and perhaps a bit jealous that Naomi had people that she missed and that expressed itself as bullying the other girl, hitting her and pulling her hair, calling her names, etc. It was also her way of expressing some of the anger and confusion that she was feeling at this new life she was forced into. It frustrated Serin more than anything that Naomi never fought back, just cried as she took whatever Serin gave her.
Listening to Naomi cry for her mother and father night after night got very old very fast, but no amount of hitting her or insulting her by calling her a baby ever seemed to shut her up. One night, after they had all had their heads shaved, Naomi - who’s mother had always cared so much for her beautiful blond braided hair - cried so much she ended up vomiting. None of the other children dared to get out of bed to help her clean up out of fear of being punished painfully by their handlers, so it fell to Serin, who just wanted her to shut up. Serin had been cleaning up after herself since she could walk, so one can only imagine how she berated Naomi for not being able to even do something as simple as this as they washed her sheets in the shower. Naomi, still fearful of punishment, begged Serin to let her sleep in her bed with her and reluctantly, Serin agreed. Serin suggested that they try sleeping underneath the bed instead - she remembered that back at home, whenever her mother brought home a new boyfriend, underneath the bed was always the safest place to hide until they left. The very generous Serin even let that thumb-sucking baby hold her hand as they slept. (Their handlers would find them underneath Serin’s bed the next morning, Serin’s arms curled protectively around Naomi.)
From that day on, Naomi gave Serin some of her meals so that she didn’t have to go around stealing from the other children and getting teased for it (not that Serin particularly cared all that much anyway). That improved Serin’s opinion of Naomi somewhat, but to Naomi, Serin was a hero.
And then, as Naomi became more confident and Serin became slightly less feral, a real friendship began to blossom between them. Their dynamic mostly consisted of Serin convincing a reluctant Naomi to do things that they might get in trouble for. Serin still had a very strong, rebellious personality - she had endured so much trauma and also lived so long without adults telling her what to do that they couldn’t quite break her completely. Naomi was just very easily led by her friend so she let herself be convinced to break the rules if it meant hanging out with her.
They would frequently climb underneath Serin’s bed and whisper and laugh together long after lights out, and as teenagers, they would sneak out to look at the stars over Reach and smoke the cigarettes that Serin stole from their handlers. All Spartans are like siblings, but Serin and Naomi - they became true sisters.
but all good things must come to an end - when Serin’s augmentations didn’t take, Naomi was told that she had died. In a numb trance, she managed to go through Serin’s footlocker and take one or two sentimental items, small things that she could easily hide in the bottom of her own - one of Serin’s dog tags and a photo of the two of them from when they won king of the hill (by teaming up and tricking John. He never quite forgave either of them). She hid them in the very bottom of her own locker, deep down where no one could take them from her. Naomi was, at this point, still healing from her own traumatic augmentation process. She survived, but she was changed forever, and now in this vulnerable state she had also lost her sister too. So instead of dealing with the pain, she just blocked it out completely. She didn’t allow herself to miss Serin, didn’t allow herself to mourn her or even think of her. Eventually, there’s nothing but a black hole in her memory where she used to be - not even her name remains.
Time passed painfully in rehab and training for Serin too. She is a survivor though, and she survives this too. But her memories of her once close friend fade away into the haze of the past.
Years pass and thanks to the Spartans, the war is won. Ultimately however, they were the ones who paid the highest price.
Parangosky has spent years grooming Serin to take her throne and all she needs is a capable team behind her. Enter Kilo-5. Kilo-5 is not a team that requires a Spartan. No one can ever accuse Parangosky of being soft or anything like that. But ultimately, she believes in justice. So Serin’s team is assigned a Spartan.

Also curious about The arduous Task of Living and Child of light, what those ones?
Momo you get one per ask just like everyone else kjlahsdfj rulebreaker over here
I was thinking about the title the other day and I don’t really like it anymore so now it’s a working title, but Arduous Task is my post-Dirge of Cerberus “and they were roommates” Genesis and Cloud fic.
That’s uh. Oversimplifying it a bit but I think it’s funny.
I’m gonna push my ace!Cloud and ace!Genesis headcanons, they’re gonna bond over Shared Trauma, Genesis is gonna be such a little bitch and AVALANCHE is still gonna adopt him like he’s a feral stray cat, there might be a strifesodos smooch. I’m excited.
I’m supposed to be working on a scene involving Gen pissing Denzel right the fuck off because he’s an abject disaster, but I’m working my way to that. I have two chapters finished, the third I’m in the middle of, and three more chapter titles and descriptions planned out. But here’s a snippet from chapter 1
"But you intend to contain me?"
"It’s not about containment, it’s about keeping you out of trouble." Tifa chimed in.
"If you knew anything about who I was, who I am, you would know you'd be out of luck in that regard." This time, Genesis noticed both Tifa and Reeve seemed remarkably calm about his threat to escape. They glanced toward Cloud, sharing some communication he didn't know how to parse.
Fine, then.
He was still unsure of his strength after who knew how long being in this hospital bed, but he threw the blanket off and got himself out of bed within the space of a breath. The machines whined as he pulled away from them, and he turned toward the door.
He felt a hand close around his wrist, and he tugged with his not inconsiderable strength to break the connection. It didn't work.
He looked down at the gloved hand, appalled, and followed the arm to Cloud. Cloud, who was up and standing beside him despite him intentionally putting the hospital bed between them. (He was shorter than Genesis expected.) Glowing Mako eyes glanced up at him, and Genesis tugged at his wrist again in furious response. The man looked like this was hardly a feat, to be restraining him. "You said you weren't a SOLDIER." Genesis glared.
I can’t wait to watch Genesis spin his wheels and get fcking nowhere with Cloud. Unstoppable Force, meet Immovable Object

Soft Kuviren headcanons (a.k.a after they figured most of their shit out) because I finished an English test early and now I'm bored:
Suiren is 100% the little spoon. She would rather slice her other leg open than admit it but she very much needs to be held
On that topic, when she is being held, she clings to Kuvira like a lifeline. Buries her face in the crook of Kuvira's neck, leaves as little space between them as possible, etc etc. She finds that she gets a lot less nightmares when Kuvira is there
Suiren is perpetually exhausted, so when there is nothing for her to worry about, unless it's a full moon she will fall asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow. Kuvira likes admiring how peaceful Renny looks in her sleep, and often gently traces her features, just light enough not to wake her. Suiren still wakes up sometimes, given how jumpy she is, but pretends she hasn't and enjoys the soft touch
Communication is still a hard thing for them, with their traumas and issues and hard-headedness. Touch is their love language and support system. If one of them is agitated, all it takes is a quiet "C'mere" and a silent offer of an embrace from the other to calm the first down
Building off the previous point, Suiren calms down quickest when she's leaning back against Kuvira, wrapped in her arms with Kuvira placing small kisses along the back of her neck and shoulders. For Kuvira, she needs to lie down with her head on Suiren's chest with Suiren running fingers through her hair
On the other hand, people touching her hair can be a major trigger for Suiren, thanks for nothing Haya. Kuvira learned it the hard way (flying ice is a great teaching tool) and now takes care to respect that boundary, including not pulling on it in a more... private setting, if you know what I mean. Sometimes Suiren allows Kuvira to tuck stray strands behind her ears, but it depends on how her sensory issues behave that day
Now you couldn't waterboard this out of her, but the first time the two of them got intimate (driven by anger and frustration), Suiren was actually worried that, given how 80% of their interactions is throwing insults at each other, Kuvira would say something about her body. She's in pretty good shape, sure, but a childhood of malnutrition left its mark, along with the much more noticeable scars from her years as an assassin. But unlike certain other people, Kuvira has some tact so even if she thought something along those lines, she stayed quiet. Since then, Kuvira has kissed and touched every inch of Suiren and pretty much worships her, especially after they both accept their feelings for each other and let real emotion show through
Kuvira can pretty easily lift Suiren up, and Suiren gets very flustered when she does so
Similarly, colour rushes to Suiren's face whenever Kuvira calls her beautiful, or any variation of that (including "pretty little face" when teasing). She knows full well she's attractive, but it's that Kuvira sees what's underneath and still finds her beautiful is what gets her
At first, all of Kuvira's nicknames for Suiren were mean spirited (ice dagger and waterbending menace being among them). After they get together, Kuvira finds out about the name Suiren's parents called her – 'my little water lily', and how Suiren doesn't like it much because she's not that child they left behind anymore. Kuvira mentions that it's ill fitting, she's not a water lily, she's a red lotus, through and through. The nickname sticks. Suiren tries to say it's way too cheesy, but hearing Kuvira call her "my red lotus" warms her heart
Suiren absolutely sucks at making up nicknames (she calls Mako 'fire boy', and while it does sound intimidating coming from her it's still extremely dumb) so she just calls her 'Vira
Kuvira isn't one for afternoon naps, while Suiren is the personification of a cat, so Kuvira is completely content with just reading or getting lost in thought while Suiren rests with her head in Kuvira's lap
Hand kisses. Nose kisses. Forehead and neck and cheek kisses. All the kisses. All the subtle (and in some cases not so subtle) acts of affection that they both so desperately crave

👥 for any!!
Headcanons
Tumblr media
April always hated her looks but Meikas attempts to cheer her up by odd make up, hairdo days, sleepovers and all slowly made her except, there is people that do like her looks
Garden dates, Ice cream parlors and the occasional Meika looses to her for the 50th time in card games
extrovert x introvert for real, April gets always so shy and red around her but she is the light of her life
Always leaves a flower on Meikas desk as a little gift
Matching couple bracelets
April and Julian have a pet and although it bit Makoto once it didn't bit Meika and instead let it pet her
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While Makoto is probably in his mind "I hate to like this man." Julian is plotting his next agenda to fluster him
Despite his behavior he is always down to have serious talks and let him vent out his feelings to him as well
The most emberassing moment they had was Makoto helping out at a play in Polisionalle, working on costumes, Julian tried to flirt him up and the curtain of the stage had a malfunction so everyone seen a small kiss between them on stage, which led Makoto to run off
Julian doesn't mind to play model for his beloved Mako and often even asks him to help with his dancing outfits
"Do not listen to my sister..." "He spend the whole night praising you in his sleep."
Tumblr media
Leave it to gay panic Tiam to only form like 3 coherrent words towards him... the first time they met
Zayumi pulled him to dance with him once and fainted in an instant
At least he always brings his potions to their joined experiments and so both often make the machines sucessfull
Actually is gratefull for help with his clothes cause man was poor and didn't have much clothing sense to beginn with
Each flirt Tiam tries to stay somewhat normal but he is a stuttering mess just not being able to respond at all but the reaction is enough for Zayumi
Has urge to often touch his hair but tries to hold back

Irosami
F, I, N, R,J, X,Y
Well someone's in a mood... ;-) This was fun. ALL THE LETTERS!
Very spicy below the cut - includes visuals.
Irosami
F = Favorite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)
This is a hard one for them because they move around a lot. They both like Asami on top. But Asami also loves being pinned to the wall, and anything else that lets her feel how strong Iroh is. Iroh likes throwing one of Asami's legs over his shoulder for maximum leverage. On the whole, both of them prefer positions where whoever is dominant can exercise a lot of control.
Tumblr media
I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…) 
Probably unsurprising, but these two are romantics. They're very in-tune with what the other person wants and the focus is almost always on how to show their love by making their partner happy. Even at its most vigorous there's a softness to their time together. Neither Iroh nor Asami would ever hurt each other.
Tumblr media
N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Quite a lot, actually. This couple is not terribly kinky. First off, neither of them would ever do anything that even looked like hurting or degrading each other, so anything like choking or wax play or hair-pulling is definitely off the table. Iroh also has some baggage when it comes to sex and has trouble not interpreting toys or extra people as a sign he's not doing his job. While Asami would be open to trying new things, Iroh more than satisfies her with what he's got and it's not worth it to make him feel inadequate. At the end of the day the list of things in the "no" pile is a lot longer than that in the "yes" pile. But they do a lot of "yes" and seem happy about it.
Tumblr media
R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
Yes and no. I'd say they don't take risks just for the risk. They'll take risks if they're horny and can't help it, like the few times they've had sex in one another's office in the middle of the day when everyone is at lunch. Asami is generally the one to introduce any kind of experiment, but she has to be careful that it's something Iroh would both enjoy and that wouldn't make him feel like he was being replaced. The light bondage that spoiled him silly was a happy surprise for them both. They've experimented a lot with restraints since then and it's generally well-received, though Mako would like his handcuffs back.
Tumblr media
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
When Iroh is deployed he writes long letters to Asami about all the things he wants to be doing to her and all the things he wants her to be doing to him. He'll then read them while touching himself before going to burn them up on deck. He never sends them.
X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
Tumblr media
Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)
I'd say about average. When they first get together they can't get enough of one another. But once they're an established couple they're more about frequency - a few times a week at a regular cadence, rather than three times a night and utterly exhausted. As much as they both like sex they also have busy lives and enjoy spending time together. Sometimes a quiet evening on the couch is just as enjoyable as a good boink.

Mako is what her family calls a conductor, though this is a fact largely unknown to her and simply chalked up to instincts - something far easier to explain and understand, and far easier to grasp than any kind of actual magic ever will be.
Magic is a prevalent force among her bloodline; descended from Egyptian gods, they hold shadow magics to their name even thousands of years later, albeit in many ‘watered down’ or simply not appearing from years of marrying those with no magic and power. For most, they could go their entire lives with no clue to the existence of the gods’ magic - But for Mako and the main branch of her family, that’s a little more difficult.
Even so, Mako is very much unaware her magic is that of a conductor - a being capable of boosting the magic, power, and innate skills of those around her at the cost of truly having any other real magic of her own. The effect is gradual; a person would need to be around her for a decent period of time rather often to feel the effects, and without knowing just what’s happening, can take upwards of several months to really notice the changes. Those without any magic to their name oftentimes have their innate skills boosted - Perception, energy, a clearer mind... It varies on a by person basis, and even above that, on just how close one is to her, as those she calls her family and close friends are far more affected than a classmate or a neighbor.
The only ones truly aware of this magic are her cousin, Rin, and her parents, as well as her mother, Fusako. With little magic to her name herself, Fusako is more interested in the historical and mythological sides of their bloodline - And when it became obvious Mako had been born with more magic than she, her solution was to simply bring her daughter with her on the road, especially since she and her husband already had no desire to leave Mako behind and break up their family. As a result, Mako is incredibly unaware magic is even a thing that exists, let alone that she has any, and simply chalks her abilities up to instinct.

How would you describe your relationship with your grandparents? (Mako!)
Family Questions!
Tumblr media
“Pretty good I’d think.” No hesitation, just a sun-bright smile from the caramel-haired girl. “I don’t talk to them anywhere near as much as I do my parents, and I feel a bit bad about that, honestly. They actually live in the country, though, so if I can get a day or two to grab a couple trains, I can pop by and visit them. I really should... Maybe next weekend...”
A pause, if only for a shake of her head to clear her thoughts; making travel plans in the back of her mind would just get her distracted! “Mmm... My grandmother is kind of stubborn, a bit like her son - My dad. She’s logical and thinks things through before doing anything, but she likes to have fun, too! The last time I visited, I remember a surprise slushie party; she’d gone out and bought a bunch of different flavored syrups and an ice shaving machine, and we spent the day experimenting and joking around. Grandpa’s on the quieter side and spends a lot of time reading and doing crosswords, but he loves hearing stories. Doesn’t matter if you’re just telling him about a trip to the mall, he wants to hear it. Probably why we get along so well... He’s always encouraging me to tell him what’s on my mind in full detail.”
She really needed to call them... Right, focus, focus~! “I’ve.. Talked to my Mom’s side a lot less, unfortunately. The one to ask about them would be my cousin, Rin - She’s more involved with them than I am.”
