Octavinelle: Injured Reader

Disclaimer: All characters in this series are aged up. For more information about my version of this world and the type of reader you can expect, please do a quick read of THIS post.

Injured Reader Headcanons

Azul Ashengrotto

Azul is, sadly, used to getting injured, especially as a child. Mermen were harsher when it came to outcasts, and the bullying often got physical. Not to mention as a kid, if the terrain under him wasn’t good, he would get scraps on his tentacles. So he was well versed in how to treat them since his mother always made a big deal out of it. Even now, paper cuts were part of his life so he knew the importance of keeping things disinfected.

When he sees you get injured, he’s a bit entertained but also concerned. He normally didn’t have you working in the kitchen since he had more than enough cooks, but he had allowed it. He watched as one of the students bumped into you, knocking over a pot and causing boiling water to spill your legs. In that moment he swore you’d never handle boiling water again. He froze while you tried not to scream as your legs took on an angry red shade.

Azul likes to take you to his private lounge area and call for Jade to bring some things. Azul has potions aplenty, so he has something for burns. He’ll be pouring an entire bottle on your burns and asking if you’re doing alright. You’re getting the rest of the day off as well, and if he can, he’d prefer it if you just stayed on his office couch so he can make sure the potion is doing its job. It’s totally not so he can keep a close eye on you.

Jade Leech

Not only was it common for eel siblings to physically fight each other as bonding, getting bite marks and scraps, but he also always got some form of injury on his hikes. Just small things, like scratches from tree branches or thorns. He once twisted his ankle while on a hike by himself and had to splint it to make it back down the mountain. Needless to say, injuries were a common occurrence for him and he didn’t think twice about it.

When he watches you dislocate your ankle by trying to jump off a rock and landing wrong, he’s pretty amused. Not at your scream of pain (maybe a little) but as to why you thought that would be a good idea. It had rained the night before and the rock was slippery, so why did you want to jump off it? It seemed like something his twin would do, not you. Still, he is a bit concerned as to how you’d be making it down the mountain because he’s certain your ankle shouldn’t be twisted like that.

Jade will place you on a rock and lean down. If he has something for you to bite down on, he’s handing it over. He’ll give you a small quip about stupidity and before you can shoot one back, he’s popped your ankle back into place and by the Sevens, it hurt. Good thing you had something to bite or else others would think you were being murdered. The good news is you get a piggyback ride down a mountain by Jade, with promises of tea and snacks when you guys get back.

Floyd Leech

Like Jade, he’s used to getting several injuries while rough housing. Not to mention he is also getting into fights with others all the time, so injuries are second nature to him. The thing is that he simply doesn’t care. He’ll walk to his next class with an angry, bleeding bite mark on his arm and act like nothing happened. Might even enjoy others being freaked out. Only time his injuries are treated is if Jade notices, Azul orders him to deal with it to not scare off clients, or one of his close people does it for him.

If he sees you get injured, he’ll probably find it amusing until he notices you’re not having fun like him. He thought it was comical when that glass broke, but seeing those shards in your hand and some in your legs…well, now he’s just upset. He’s going to be going up and asking why you went ahead and got yourself hurt. He’s concerned, this much is obvious, but he’s also annoyed because you shouldn’t be getting injured. All because some idiot tossed something and it shattered the glass in your hands. Whoever did it will be getting squeezed once he knows you’re okay.

To no surprise, he’s scooping you into his arms, even if it hurts you. He’ll just shush you as he goes to Azul’s office, dumping you on the couch before dragging Jade to fix up his little Shrimpy. After you’re fine, he’s going to be following you like a puppy. Arms wrapped around you and head on top of yours if you happened to be shorter. Anyone he deems a threat to you is getting glared at until you’re being left alone. Expect him to also spend the night because you’re not leaving his sight until he’s sure you’re fine and can play with him.

[dallysnecklace]

can you do headcanons for dallas dating the shy but sassy twin sister of sodapop? thank you

Sure!

Y’all are genuinely so cute together 😭

At first your brothers were very worried, they knew Dallas’ past and how he treated women before.

But after seeing his behavior change around and because of you, they were more open to the idea

Your love language is touch, and so is his(although he doesn’t express this around others), so you constantly need to be touching him someway. Weather that be his hand on your waist, holding his hand, piggy back rides, arm over shoulders, cuddles, hugs, it’s clear you both depend on it

Often you’ll just come up to him, while he’s sitting on your couch talking to two-bit or something, and just sit on his lap and cuddle him.

He never assumes this is sexual, because he knows you depend on it.

“Yeah man Tim was being a dick- oh hey baby- and I had to put him in his place man”

He always acknowledges you, but knows you probably don’t wanna talk.

On top of cuddles and hugs being a normal and often occurrence, y’all are always kissing

Not making out, but like a kiss on the cheek, on the neck, on the jaw, etc.

Soft little kisses that shows you love the other.

But your and his favorite will always be the lips.

You often will leave soft kisses behind his ear when sitting on his lap.

This MELTSSS his heart. Everytime you do it he falls in love even more

Around those you don’t know, you are very shy. Dallas is an outgoing person, so when he notices you start to become nervous around new people, he reassures you by whispering in you ear, “everything’s okay baby I have you.”

Makes you feel very safe and loved

Although, if someone pisses you off in public, you’ll say something under your breath. For example, when Curly was teasing Pony one time, you said “fucking ass” and Dallas looked at you, cocked his eyebrow and whispered “what was that doll?”

You guys are so clearly in love, the whole town knows it.

Johnny once confided in you that he wishes he could find a love like yours and Dallas’

Soda started to become closer to Dallas after y’all started dating, and now they’re like best friends 😭

When someone Is rude to you in ANY way, they should expect hell fire to rain down on them

Your brothers and Dallas are the scariest people when someone even says the tiniest thing that is rude about you.

He is incredibly loyal when in a relationship, especially after Sylvia. Expect him to be throwing girls off of him at any moment.

Since you are shy, when seeing girls try to pick him up, you don’t really do anything about it since you are kinda insecure.

Seeing him yell at them reassures his love for you.

“I love you” is a common phrase said between you.

In your family you say it a lot, so he had to get used to expressing it more often than usual.

Johnny is your best friend. He really looks up to you, and comes to you A LOT for girl advice. You and Dallas are always there for him no matter what.

You especially look out for Johnny, because you both are pretty shy

When going somewhere with the gang, it usually ends up being you and Johnny sticking behind everyone in your own little world.

Sometimes Dallas joins, sometimes he doesn’t. Unlike you, he really depends on meeting and interacting with everyone.

You are understanding of this and always let him do his thing, because you know he will always return to you.

Like I said, Dallas is incredibly protective. He will defend you till the day he dies. This also ends up in him defending your family aswell.

Dallas starts to become one in your family, joining in on family dinners and such. When he figured out you were behind all of this, his heart swelled. He finally had a family who truly cares about him.

Dallas’ St. Christopher is from his Italian Nona, the one person in his family who cared about him. You receiving this was incredibly special, especially since he opened up to you about its history.

All in all, you guys are perfect for eachother and love eachother to the ends of the universe

If Steve Rogers functions as the Superman of the bunch, the noble hero out of the past who inspires the others to greatness, what exactly is Bucky Barnes role, especially as Captain America himself?

I don't think that's a very meaningful analogy because like. The Justice League and the Avengers are very different teams, and despite their fairly similar ethics Clark and Steve are possibly even more different guys.

Captain America's is a solid general all-rounder, very mid-level in terms of actual power. Problems are frequently too big for him. Superman is stupid strong--every so often something shows up that's more powerful than he is, but he spends most of his life finessing his way through using as much force as he needs without overshooting and causing unacceptable collateral damage. He can move planets.

Psychologically, there's a vast gulf there.

The legacy of Krypton and the, the myth of America are roughly the same shape but are worn in completely opposite ways. No one on Earth knows or cares about Krypton except through Superman, and even he doesn't remember it--sometimes Kara does--so it's just pretty shapes and a deep solemnity.

America is messy and current and in-your-face, it was there before Steve and it'll probably outlive him and sometimes he gets so fed up with its foreign policy decisions or civil rights abuses he puts on a different outfit or goes and lives in a bunker.

'Superman' is a big idea that rests entirely on Kal-El as a person and as a force; 'Captain America' as a concept might be built on Steve and his supersoldier status but it's not dependent on him, they keep making a point of that.

Meanwhile they've made Jon Superman but struggle mightily with how to do that without just making him his dad. Of course they'd be struggling less if they'd let him grow up at a normal speed or were willing to lean into what a fucking bizarre person he ought to be after seven years in a cave with his dad's evil twin; basically Jon Kent doesn't have a character right now and they think he can hold up a title. But actually they know he can't that's why they brought Clark back. Superman is a disaster right now.

So anyway. In classic terms, Bucky was the counterpart of Jimmy Olsen. Then he died--I believe this was established in a retcon in the 60s when they brought Cap back, when Marvel was getting its feet under it as the grounded, realistic superhero comic company.

Then Bucky and Jason Todd both came back in 2005 which was kind of embarrassing for everyone imo. Just like. Did you have to do that at the same time you're making each other's cheap stunts look even more stuntlike.

Bucky's actually done better over the last 18 years than Jason tbh, rip--I mean in terms of interesting stories and development. Jason got his own book and all, he just also was subjected to terrible discontinuity of character and was primarily written by Scott Lobdell for like a decade. Terrible.

In terms of who he can be compared to relative to Superman when he's being Captain America, I. Uhhhhhh. No one in any useful way, I don't think. The obvious place to look is the Death of Superman/Reign of the Supermen period, but like.

Does Bucky have anything really in common with Cyborg Superman other than being a traumatized cyborg? No. Does he have anything in common with The Kid (later Kon-El)? You'd think there'd be something but there really isn't. Each point they have in common (i.e. dehumanizing lab background) they have diametrically opposed relationships to.

Steve's had duplicates and impersonators, I think the anti-commie guy he beat up that time is kind of like his Cyborg Superman equivalent? Except there's a whole political ideology thing going on there which is just not present with Superman. Anyway, not relevant to Bucky.

...you can I think draw some kind of relationship between Sam Wilson as Captain America and John Henry Irons as Steel, because on the writing end of things there's a definite flavor match, in terms of very deliberately creating a very cool black man and holding him up as an exemplar in a superhero story that otherwise has not got a lot of black people in major roles, and making him the best person to uphold the legacy of the Very Important Hero Guy. Like certain conventions are utilized the same in both instances. In certain ways that was two versions of the same story.

But also not really; Irons was very much pinch-hitting and what made him the best was that he was the one determined to do the work rather than claim the glamor; it's a lot more ceremonious and torch-passing with Wilson. A different deal. Although in some ways that's just because Marvel has hung onto and deliberately invested in the Falcon for decades.

DC Comics stop doing weird stuff with Clark's family and identity and reinvest in the supporting cast challenge. Where is Steel what's going on with him. Does he exist in this timeline.

Beauty standards in Westeros: wild beauty is beautiful?

Beauty is a huge topic in this fandom, specially in relation to some female characters. And different from the male characters, their physical traits are often put on higher ground than other aspects.

I know that we live in a society obsessed with ~aesthetics~ and with an ideal of beauty that is Eurocentric, ableist, and youthful; so it makes sense that the people (and their opinions) in this fandom reflects these ideals too.

(sigh) Anyway… Westeros is a fictional fantastical world set in a medieval era and this world too holds its sets of standards and ideals regarding beauty, and we can see how they affect the story/journey of some important characters; here I want to focus on the idea of the wild beauty associated with Arya and Lyanna Stark because it's a subjective enough word to cause a lot of confusion.

Now; suppose we all know how detrimental to women these beauty standards are, we cannot ignore that fact that they matter, they were made for a reason, and they serve a purpose in westerosi society:

First, it separates noble from commoners;

A Feast for Crows - Cersei III, Cersei compares Margaerys features to those of common people.

"Even peasant girls are pretty at a certain age, when they are still fresh and innocent and unspoiled, and most of them have the same brown hair and brown eyes as she does."

A Storm of Swords - Jon II, Jon's first impression of Ygritte.

"At a lord's court the girl would never have been considered anything but common, he knew. She had a round peasant face, a pug nose, and slightly crooked teeth, and her eyes were too far apart. Jon had noticed all that the first time he'd seen her, when his dirk had been at her throat."

By these recollections only, it seems like peasants have a certain look that is recognizable and sets them apart from noble people.

Without a deep analyses, we can already conclude that no Stark woman is common looking or plain. Their looks can be set apart from peasants and from among most other houses such as the Tyrell, its pretty signifying of their old noble blood:

Arya Stark - long face, gray eyes, brown hair, skinny and athletic body. Arya has the "wolf blood".

Sansa Stark - high cheekbones, blue eyes and "auburn hair lighter than her mother's".

Catelyn Stark - fair skin, blue eyes and auburn hair.

Lyanna Stark - Long face, gray eyes and brown hair. Slim body and tomboyish. Lyanna had too much of the wolf blood.

Edited: I’m not saying that peasants and common people are ugly, what I’m saying (what I deduced from reading the excerpts) is that compared to noble woman, common women are considered plain by noble people standards.

And the fact that most of these ladies are tied to one of the most traditional and old lineages in Westeros means that they don’t fit the common or plain category by Westeros beauty standards.

Second, it increases women's chance at a good marriage;

A Storm of Swords - Catelyn VI - Edmure and Catelyn talk about his betrothal to Roslin Frey.

"She's prettier than I dared hope." Edmure raised a hand before she could speak. "I know there are more important things, spare me the sermon, septa. Even so . . . did you see some of those other maids Frey trotted out? The one with the twitch? Was that the shaking sickness? And those twins had more craters and eruptions on their faces than Petyr Pimple. When I saw that lot, I knew Roslin would be bald and one-eyed, with Jinglebell's wits and Black Walder's temper. But she seems gentle as well as fair." He looked perplexed. "Why would the old weasel refuse to let me choose unless he meant to foist off someone hideous?"

"Your fondness for a pretty face is well known," Catelyn reminded him.

During the entire ordeal of a betrothal between a Frey daughter and Lord Edmure Tully, the latter complained about being denied of choice.

This is important because it shows exactly how it works for them: High lords who inherit castles and land can choose whichever lady they want, while ladies need to compete among themselves to try and get a good proposal, from where they can find security.

Robert Baratheon was to be Warden of the Stormlands at the time he was entertaining a marriage to Lyanna. Let's be honest now; do you think this asshole, the guy who fucks any pretty thing with a pair of tits without thinking, would settle for anything but a comely lady for a wife?

Of course there is the matter of her name and noble blood at play but just like Edmure, "his fondness for a pretty face was well known" and his feelings for Lyanna too:

"You never knew Lyanna as I did, Robert," Ned told him. "You saw her beauty, but not the iron underneath."

A Game of Thrones - Eddard VII

Edited: I’m not even questioning the physical characteristics that women need to have to be seen as beautiful. I think Edmure Tully’s speech at the quote I picked says a lot already, but in short: the preference that these privileged men show towards certain ladies is enough to know what is the standard held by Westeros society as a whole.

At last and most important, it reinforces the gender roles assigned to woman:

This is not supposed to be a critic to any of the women mentioned or their ways, but a critic of the people who praise certain traits and vilify others less soft ones.

About Elia:

"...the Stark girl, who was by all reports a wild and boyish young thing with none of the Princess Elia's delicate beauty."

"Princess Elia was a good woman, Your Grace. She was kind and clever, with a gentle heart and a sweet wit."

About Margaery:

"The girl no older than Robb, very pretty, with a doe's soft eyes and a mane of curling brown hair that fell about her shoulders in lazy ringlets. Her smile was shy and sweet."

About Sansa:

"Soft-spoken sweet-smelling Sansa, who loved silks, songs, chivalry and tall gallant knights with handsome faces."

Gentle, delicate, sweet, soft-spoken and other variants of these adjectives are used to describe these ladies in particular when mentioning their beauty. All these adjectives are found at the appearance section of their pages on Wiki of westeros.

Westerosy woman have little to no say in the decisions regarding their own lives, noble women are always at the mercy of a father, husband, or another man. They are raised to become two things only: a wife and a mother and again gentle, delicate, sweet, soft-spoken are words often related to motherhood and romance.

Wild, willful, stubborn and outspoken are completely different things from gentle, delicate, sweet and soft-spoken. In fact, they are opposite, and that's where the concept of "Wild beauty" draws so much confusion.

Edited: I’ve seen people interpret wild as unkept, savage, plain and/or ugly. The word in itself is not typically used to refer to one’s appearance, but to landscape or actions. But when the wild beauty idea come in George’s text is always to highlight Lyanna/Arya’s different look as well as character compared to southern ladies.

To use someone else’s perspective that is not their loving brother/father (since this means he is biased and unreliable as a narrator, *sarcasm*):

In The World of Ice and Fire - The Fall of the Dragons: The Year of the False Spring

“The crowning of the Stark girl, who was by all reports a wild and boyish young thing with none of the Princess Elia's delicate beauty, could only have been meant to win the allegiance of Winterfell to Prince Rhaegar's cause, Symond Staunton suggested to the king.”

The juxtaposition of the descriptors Wild x Delicate makes the case stronger when we remember that the delicate quality that Elia had comes from her frail and fragile health.

In conclusion:

Lyanna Stark was a beautiful woman with beautiful attributes, her beauty was well known and no one could deny. On the other hand, she lacked the womanly shape desired from most men and had too much force of will to be accepted by the southern court.

Arya Stark is a girl still growing into her features, her looks, and personality are similar to her aunt's even as a young girl. It's not hard to see that she will become as beautiful as Lyanna was said to be.

The wild beauty is in their physical traits but something else too, more ethereal and impalpable, the wolf blood.

Their wild beauty it's a set of all that Westeros holds as beautiful, added to what they fear the most: a strong, willed mind.

That's it, if anyone read so far: thank you for your patience. I am incapable of being brief. I wrote this with my own memory and research, so if I missed something, feel free to add to it. Also, if you are one of those stans who complain about others calling Arya beautiful: fuck you.

#asoiaf #asoiaf meta #my meta #beauty standards #beauty #arya stark #lyanna stark #I had to add more things to make it clearer i guess #I look like a peasant #:))))

I LOVED EVEYRTHING YOU SAID IN MY YASHIRO ASK AND I TOTALLY AGREE!!

And gosh I never knew nene received that kind of hate? Am I too oblivious 😭😭 but omg the points you mentioned about her being way too nice for her own good? I second that claim- she's actually so selfless. Hell even I would be petty, but that selfless quality makes her even more beautiful.

Also no hate to any character, but I just don't like it when they go about making fun of her legs like anything. Once? Okay, like its comical so it's fine, but I really didn't appreciate the fact that even after mistuba saw that nene's biggest fear was being left alone, unloved, all because of her legs during the mirrors chapter, he STILL chose to make fun of her legs. Who does that please- that instance made me angry-

I really really feel like she needs a break. Or a person who would ACTUALLY hear her out and support her. Because if you want my opinion? NONE of the characters at present would exactly help her out. Like yk what I mean? I want a character being empathetic about Nene for once and hear her out. I feel like the things that happen in the manga most of the times happen against Nene's will. Her problems get doubled, she gets trapped into dangerous situations, she needs a long break-

Anyways thank you so much for the points you shared! I'm so glad to see someone agreeing with me on Nene, she deserves the world and people should know that she's developing too. It's not just kou suffering because of her mother's death and his complex with teru, not just mitsuba suffering because he wants to be a human again but cannot for obvious reasons, not just hanako who killed his twin and regrets it with his whole heart, but also Nene who suffers that complex of feeling unloved, I've never been in the situation often, but I understand what she feels like. Imagine someone says that they find your best friend pretty but ignores you completely, especially if it's a boy. How would you feel? That feeling hits hard. It's not simply "Oh but others shouldn't determine how pretty you actually are." While that's true, we cant help but feel bad now can we?

I STRETCHED THIS OUT YET AGAIN BAHAHHAHA BUT ANYWAYS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Awww look who came back to answer me hahaha ♡ I'm glad you liked my answer.

Yashiro's legs are taken to the comical side of the story, it was something built for that, but I like to point out that this actually bothers her a lot. Hanako loves her legs haha but doesn't admit it, Kou doesn't seem to care about it and he also likes (or liked) her romantically, but she didn't notice, the girl with her head in the clouds haha

Don't get angry with Mitsuba, no one escapes him hahaha no one, not even his own mother XD

In fact, your view is correct, the vast majority of things that happen to Nene are against her will, sometimes because she was too naive or because of the influence of other people. She and Kou are very similar, easily fooled by a sad or beautiful story, they are very easy to convince and manipulate. This is not stupidity, it is naivety. They act like children sometimes (not that I can ask much more than that from two teenagers) but they don't think twice before making decisions.

Nene simply swallowed a mermaid's scale without even hesitating, did she think about the consequences? That's about it.

Nene's complexes are more linked to common and more human problems compared to Kou, Mitsuba and Hanako. This explains why people don't care so much, don't these three's complexes seem to be heavier and more intense than Yashiro's? So, even if that is the case, it doesn't negate her problems. Because if she didn't have these problems she would never have summoned Hanako and the story wouldn't even exist XD

Let's see what Nene's backstory will be, I'm curious to know!

‘I have you on repeat, grasping for tender moments I hold onto like delicate keepsakes 

They are so few and far between And I'm grateful for the memorability of each moment 

Moments wrapped in romance that end with bitter sunrises and goodbyes 

Moments so fragile and rare that I wonder If they would have the same taste if not such a delicacy 

But I'd still devour you as I lay here and recall years of wavering emotions 

Suppressed desires and volcanic explosions that retreat into dormancy I wonder could we ever flow together 

Or are we two twin souls finding each other in the wrong lifetime’

-------

Soooo this got me thinking. This reversed lyrics is often seen as yet another instance of the narrator being the gayest thing in the parable, but considering that this whole sequence in the hole is a dream/daydream Stanley’s having while the narrator isn’t present, maybe this is the closest thing we get to seeing what Stanley’s internal thoughts are outside of the player’s control and the narrator’s own unreliable narration.

Dude’s just as gay for the narrator as the narrator is for him lmao.

It also shows that Stanley has one hell of a vivid imagination. It’s a pretty common theory that the narrator is the one holding Stanley hostage within the parable and keeping him looping forever, but maybe its the other way around. If we take the apartment ending at face value, maybe the parable really is a vivid escapist fantasy that Stanley came up with to cope with his boring life, one that grew out of hand and functionally became real at some point, or maybe the experiments that were being run on the workers in the office caused it to become real at some point.

Interestingly, the figurine ending is the only ending now after a patch that cannot be replayed or looped. We know that the narrator is ready to move on, and yet the parable continues to loop regardless. Stanley is too invested in in it and the narrator to give it up. And despite what the real person ending implies, we get multiple instances of Stanley asserting his own agency outside of the player’s control in Ultra Deluxe with him refusing to destroy the bucket and the bucket version of the escape pod ending being something he does entirely of his own volition without the player’s input. He is not quite the empty shell he seem to be at first glance. And if the bucket escape pod ending is a reflection of what would happen if the narrator could be brought to the ending, maybe its not that the narrator would let Stanley go, but Stanley would let him go.

Boy would that explain the narrator’s existential dread too. Despite all of the power and narrative control he’s been given over the parable and Stanley himself, deep down he knows he’s just a fiction that Stanley came up with and that the moment Stanley stops paying attention to him, it’s over for him. That is why he is so loud, angry, and sarcastic whenever Stanley strays from the path pre-UD. He must force Stanley to keep paying attention to him even as he strays further and further from the narrator’s intended purpose of telling his escapist fantasy story of freedom. By the time the UD content hits though, he has seemingly mellowed out considerably, having perhaps realized that he doesn’t need to be forceful to keep Stanley’s attention. Maybe he figured out that Stanley is already invested in him and his reactions and that it’s much easier to keep him entertained than he once believed. Considering the lack of choices in the UD content, maybe its a sign that Stanley has gone through some character development too and is no longer interested in pushing the narrator’s buttons and is, more or less, along for the ride with whatever new ideas the narrator comes up with.  

Maybe within the impossible logic of the parable they inhabit, they essentially created each other. The narrator in his loneliness and inability to make choices, created Stanley, and Stanley, looking for an escape from the boredom and lack of choice in his life, made the narrator.

Gay.

Song Family Dynamics

the Songs are a bit of a mixed family, the household has two dads and a mom as a polycule but they have kids from other relationships too. most of them share the same mom, except the oldest, Andréa.

Andréa is distanced from the family due to some Drama with her father, and she has such a age gap from the rest of her half siblings that she doesn't have a relationship with them. she's not even technically a Song but for convenience we refer to her as that lmao. she and Sammy have interacted more than the rest, being the oldest kids of the group, but Andréa was kind of a mess at the time and Sammy doesn't wanna be like her lmao. sorry girl, thanks for dissuading Sammy from substance abuse with your actions though teehee :)

Sammy takes the role of Oldest Sibling on easily though, even if he technically isn't the oldest. he had his time out of the house when he went to college and everything but he came back to live with the family at some point, there was Family Drama (this is a common thing in this family lmao.. vague drama u know how it is) that he felt he needed to come back to support the twins about. the twins have moved out on their own now but Sammy likes being home with the rest of the family, he has fun getting to help out with the youngest sister, Kai. Kai still sees Sammy as the Cooler Older Brother and he tries his best to keep that opinion in check lmao, of course i'll drive you somewhere no problem!

Sammy and the twins get along well, its always a fun wild time when the three of them are together. Kyri and Emma see him for the dork that he is and will tease him about him being their little big brother :) no fair that they're younger and taller than him...!!! arguments often ensue about things like who is the coolest and it gets loud and heated but they're always joking about it lmao.

Kyri and Emma are basically inseparable and have a bit of separation anxiety, stemming from aforementioned Family Drama TM. they live in an apartment together with their respective partners. the twins... you know the twins!! for some reason im blanking on things to say about them jhsfdh. i feel like the separation anxiety is stronger on Kyri's end, Emma could probably manage more distance but she doesn't mind living with her bro, she knows he needs her. and its never a dull moment with him, they're buddies and best friends!!

Laurence was adopted as a teen (13ish maybe) so he didn't grow up with all of them, Sammy was in college at the time so they don't have the greatest bond, but Sammy tries to reach out nowadays now that he's living in the house with him. he is the most reserved of the whole group but the twins try to draw him out a little, Kyri definitely being a bit more annoying about it lmao. Being the babies of the group Kai and Laurence get along well, they can confide in each other for alot of things. if Kai was like 4 when Laurence came into the family i'm sure that was a funny story to share at preschool, yay im getting a new brother! he's older than me though :)

Kai, or Kai Junior (she's named after one of her dads, yes its true), is da baby. the last teen in the house and can always count on a sibling to give her a ride somewhere, oh her social life is thriving thanks siblings! Kyri likes to call her Kaiju because come on that's a freaking rad nickname!!! he's a little jealous though if only he was Kai Junior..... the family is the most stable now at this point so luckily Kai hasn't had to deal with too much drama first hand (its vague timeline but she was probably pretty young), though she does wish that they would let her in on what happened back in the day. she does wonder about her mysterious oldest sister sometimes too, hm! maybe one day she can bridge that gap, when you're a lil older bb girl.

tbh this family has existed conceptually for a really long time and has went through alot of iterations, the parent trio were like OG ocs that i had with my cousins and it was like. alot of drama nonsense you write when you're a teen so trying to re-contextualize it now can be tricky?? like for example one of the dads was a vampire mob boss of sorts lmao. they were all vampires and were-people. how do you make that work. so some of this is Vague but i do like these lil guys anyway haha they hold a special place in my heart :)

#darla posting here weewoo #one day ill have to sort out the Ancient Lore bc its ridiculous and funny to talk about origins!! but not here i said enough for now haha #too many siblings..... i cant just get rid of them though thats mean!!!! #though fun fact the mom was pregnant with another set of twins in one iteration but i said nope to that actually jkhsh thats Enough. #these bitches need birth control. #original characters #oc family

[meirimerens]

time honored tradition of Character who is mentioned in passing but does not show up in canon? Smack em with the OC stick lets give these bones some FLESH [high five] anyway i for one am so curious about your farkhad, i love your designs/character conceptz/execution

LITERALLYYYYY YOU GET IT i love to create characters to me i feel like frankenstein but nice and normal. you wouldn't mind if i dumped here all the lore i've given him so far so i know where to look for it, would you? (i have my hand around your ankle, forbidding you from leaving. my hand is freakishly large with very long fingers and i hold your leg like a stick) would you? :3

farkhad lore:

iranian to me. one could say Duh considering his name فرهاد (from persian literature/mythology) but he so is to me. he was classically trained as the twins were but is more versed into islamic arts and wider persian/middle eastern/central asian artistic currents whereas the twins are more familiar with classical greek/roman/western european art currents (did i ever say i think they're italian on their father's side? they are to me btw). he brings something earthy and colorful. iranian to me with maybe a turkmen or afghan father

he has never given his name to the twins. i think it's from a place of... you know how when dealing with the fae, they will ask "can you give me your name?" and if you do they will take it from you? i think he is aware of things like this, and do not trust people to not steal his name from him.

his design is very inspired by Qajar dynasty persian art (as per my notes) so 18th-19th century. his style of dress, as well as the cultural and artistic things he enjoys, appears as such "dated"; it gives him an air of timeless elegance, or great culture, and also an almost... eerily out-of-time presence. as per a tweet of mine:

now whether or not he is immortal, and managed to avoid death as every single illness ever couldn't touch him, and died murdered, his only weakness... well that'd be funny. idk if i'll go by it though. but it's pretty funny.

he's tall because i have the #lore that peter has an inclination for men taller than him and i think peter is 190cm (they never had a relationship to me, peter just orbited him a lil bit more than As Colleagues because of his height and then their Artistic Disagreements came very early on and nipped their friendship in the bud)

farkhad is very cultured, as the twins are. when they're not trying to kill each other in psychic battles, they have long, intellectual, philosophical, artistic conversations.

another thing they have in common is their hedonism; there are, however, differences. the twins do hedonism in excess: lots of drinks, smoking, food, company; they're very bacchanal in that aspect. as such, they (mostly andrey) find themselves in trouble with the law often. farkhad is more in a boundless, meditative enjoyment of life and all fine things: he does love drinking, smoking, eating, and having company, he is also fan of poetry and music, but he is more attached to the sensual (as in: from the senses) aspect of it, such as luxurious pillows to recline on while you smoke, the feel of beautiful paper under your fingertips when you read, the textures of foods and of the beautiful plates. he makes for very good "high-society" company, and as i've said he can hold very long conversations. i also think the clash of hedonisms between his (slow and sensual, appolinian) and the twins' (fast, excessive, bacchanal/dyonisian) created the first tensions of their work relationship (as someone said, he is very Dorian Gray like that)

speaking of dorian gray... peter painted him. or rather, started painting him. after the murder, the portrait has been hidden away in peter's loft. none of the twins have the strength to burn the damn thing even though peter sometimes feel like the portrait is staring at him from across the room, or moving on its own.

while we about literature: peter sometimes think like he hears his heart under the floorboards :3 ^w^

as i've said, i think he is a homosexual. i also think he is a hopeless romantic. He steers clear from relationships in order to dedicate himself to his craft, but not in the closeted-dankovsky-way of I Pretend I Do Not See [my own homosexuality] I'm Like Sooo Busy Doing Research; he's very comfortable with it, he just dedicates himself to his artistry. i think he has a very magnetic power on people regardless of gender, which he is aware of, but never uses it against them.

it's very hard to read him, and when it isn't, it's that you're fucking up. his very arched brows give him an eager/curious look and he consistently has that pulled smile on him so you can never really know what he's thinking, but as i've said, when he fucking hates you he starts to squint. when his brows flatten or his smile falters Oh Buddy It's Going Bad

right handed :3

nervous tic of slipping the tip of his tongue in the part of his tooth that's chipped; he does that with an open/half-open mouth which does make people go 👀😑👀

he plays an instrument to me (as do the twins, who play piano). not sure what yet. maybe kamancheh or setar.

ok :3 (lets go of your leg now)

Okay, so, it’s a sort of mystery-comedy podcast about a girl called JJ who’s just started a summer job at an amusement/theme park called Mockery Manor (…actually it may have a different name, I sort of forgot) in the oh so wonderful year of 1987. She was late to starting the job due to some… family drama (which I won’t spoil for you), and has an identical twin sister called Beatty (Pronounced Betty) who seems to strongly dislike her.

While she works at the park, strange things begin happening- she hears a recording of what sounds like a woman being murdered in Dreamland, accidents begin to happen, and the park’s owners seem strangely against calling any sort of law enforcement. JJ soon learns the park has a dark past, and quickly finds her own life to be surprisingly intertwined with it…

While it is ostensibly a comedy podcast, it isn’t all that “funny”— though still quite good! The sound design is spectacular, and the voice acting is impeccable! I haven’t finished listening to the available episodes of season two, but it seems that each season has its own mystery to unravel, which may or may not be connected to the first one. All in all, I’d recommend it, though it has some darker elements (it is a murder mystery, after all)

Side note, I was listening to SAYER a little while ago! Didn’t get that far before I ended up stopping, though, due to fading interest. Another podcast I’ve listened to (which is much more faithful to its comedy genre) is Mission Rejected, which is about a team of “secret agents” who take the cases the #1 agent rejects, and while they often fail miserably they begin to bond as a team and end up with more than one win (or partial win) under their belts. Highly recommended! Pretty funny, unexpectedly (though I suppose it’s more common for the genre now) Emotional at times. - 📼

ooo I may bear it (and also Mission Rejected) in mind!

Send Me A Name Meme Thing - The 2k3 Raphael headcanons! Hand them over!! this is a threat!!

Rude threatening me like this u-u but like you these do apply for 2007 as well

Head cannons for my angel though uwu

Some of Raph's fondest memories are from when he and his brothers were just kids. Like playing follow the leader with Leo, pulling pranks with mikey, play fighting with Donnie

Raph started a habit of tearing up Leo’s room when annoyed or upset because Leo dosen’t listen. He still dose this but its a bit more on purpose

out of all his brothers he just find it easier to get along with his twin Donnie. They share things common and often is why it can be easier for Raph

It has a lot to do with why he is just sometimes with Donnie for no real reason, he kind of keeps Raph clam.

Donnie and Raph both struggle with expression feelings where Donnie keeps it in Raph just doesn't know how best to let it out coming across in bursts.

This is why they were able to make up their own way of talking. Sometimes Raph couldn't put words to how he felt when they were talking one day and he just threw his hands around and Donnie took a guess at what he meant and got it right. It built up from there and soon they had a whole way to talk that they can still make use of today.

Seeing how Donnie is just as bad when it comes to talking it seemed to work well for him as well

Raph didn’t so much know right away Donnie was biting cause he was upset he was just mad he got bite so he fought after a few more times he figured it out. It’s not as often to happen now and he questions Donnie when he dose it but helll quick to drag them into the dojo or where to fight.

Because Raph is so close to Donnie it's kind of why he picked up learning how to read people, Donnie is bad about talking about things bugging him but he dose have tells.

Donnie help Raph learn to read, he wasn't the best when it came to learning which annoyed him and made him not even want to try but since Donnie is a bit more patience, so he did put up with trying to learn.

Donnie teaches Raph the fancy words to use for better insults he saves those cause its funny when someone hears him use a four syllable word.

Raph has often stayed up late along with Donnie over going out doing his own thing, he just likes their company. Donnie is someone he can complain to because at best? Donnie will just give him some snarky comment in turn. Which is better over A Leo lecture or Mikey being well Mikey.

Raph learned how to make coffee simply cause of him having late nights with Donnie, Raph himself isn't much for black coffee he like cream and sugar in his own.

Where Donnie has "Raphie" as a distress single Raph has "Donnie" usually opting to call them Don unless other wise. Mostly to ask Donnie to help with a spider he came across. He swears they are going to kill him.

Raph hate's bugs well known its more because he's got a bit of fear of them. Mostly spiders and roaches, he just can't handle the way they crawl and such it just makes his skin crawl.

An old fear from childhood. Bugs are bound to pop up in their home being messy and such well he made it pretty easy for bugs to have the right environment to thrive. He ended up having a bad case of bed bug. He can still recall seeing them pop up as if they multiplied from the his mattress alone.

He hasn't used a mattress as a bed ever since, going with a hammock was the only way Splinter could get Raph to sleep because he refused otherwise.

when that bug breakout happened im sure you know which brother he ran to for help. Donnie uwu.

Raph’s room is basically a second training area for him, he trains almost as much as leo dose but Raph isn’t as caring about forms and such like Leo can be

his shellcycle is is most prized possession and he takes special car of it. Simply cause Donnie made it just for him, likely because Raph expressed an interest in motorcycles and how much he'd love to ride one to donnie more than once. Not like he was trying to suggest anything he honest just got excited and wouldn't talk about anything else for about a week.

calls it his baby uwu

He very much enjoys going on on his own mostly when he got into a fight with someone or ticked off enough or just needs time alone.

He either travels further in the tunnels to some of his favorite areas he keeps to himself (donnie knows a few actually) cause hiding out in his room isn’t always an option.

on the surface though? its the docks. He likes to just sit out there among the old wear house buildings that used to be there for collecting shipments and such.

Sometimes he just watches the boats wade in the water and thinks about stowing away one day and just going to wherever the boat takes him. Just stay there.

Raph drinks he likes things more like beer, ale or even whisky

when he gets drunks it can go one of two ways. Either he is just a bit extra Raph meaning far more crude, more of an ass but far more open in a sense. he may express some sentiments he wont sober and well he gets into far more dumb situations

or! hes a complete emotional wreck and may become a bit inconsolable.

Raph's a bad boy he got into drinking in his late teens, he came across some beer when trailing after some punks who robbed a store and well they had beer on them and some on got curious.

Splinter grounded him for a good while but it didn't stop Raph's liking for it

Raph is borderline an alcoholic

mind you he dose know his limits and often doesn't go to far buuuuuuut

he also sometimes goes to far sometimes drinking makes him forget a lot of those insecurities he has. Sometimes you have to wonder is better he goes out and knocks heads around when upset or disappear for a bit only to show up with alcohol heavy on his breath?

he deff can fall victim to how additive it can be. Sometimes.

he is bisexual but he tends lean towards males and has had a good many crushes on a couple of people they come across, what can he say if you can kick ass his mainly he's gonna have an interest.

outside the tunnles, and docks his other favorite places go is stadiums for games. Often he sneaks and watches from the rafters.

he sneaks into museums at times as well. He may not come off cultured but he is a bit he just keeps it to himself he is pretty sure other will tease the fuck out of him for it.

Raph can bake  a little nothing special simple stuff mostly box mixes but it’s a bit relaxing for him.

“raph it’s four o’clock in the morning. why on earth are making chocolate pudding?” “because I have lost control of my life”

2. Bolt

An acquaintance of an acquaintance was very desirous to make her acquaintance. Dainty knew the drill by now.

There was always someone who wanted to make a “friend” of the Warrior of Light. Her scaled tail swished along behind her as she strolled through Thavnair’s coloured streets. Red, oranges and lush jade greens popped out at one, dazzling the eye no matter which way they turned in the vibrant city. Over-head dazzling blue skies and brilliant gold sunshine picked up the azure blue and gold tilework designs in the floors and walls. The Warrior of Light was quite at her leisure for once. With the Scions of the Seventh Dawn in supposed retirement and only an occasional errand to run for Tartaru Dainty was quite enjoying filling up her days with frippery and jape. Idyl time was not something she could ever have claimed to have a plethora of and, if she was honest, that final battle at the edge of the universe had done more damage to her than she cared to admit. Extra time to rest and recover was much needed and well appreciated. Even still Dainty had ever been prone to restlessness. She grew bored easily and had expensive tastes besides. Acquaintances of acquaintances very often sought her out due to knowing the location of treasure that was far too dangerous for any but her to attempt to step foot. Her petite, slender form was dressed as a Thavnairian dancer but the jewelry she wore had come from the vaults of the Mad King of Ala Mhigo himself.

A small “commission” for assisting Alphinaud and Arenvald in claiming the rest.

Few recognized the lauded Warrior when she was out of her war leathers and unaccompanied by any of the other Scions. Au Ra were common in Thavnair, as one of its founding peoples. She was also a private person, who did not give interviews nor allow pictures of herself to be published willingly. As such very few people realized the pretty, pink haired au ra currently strolling around Radz At-Han was the Dainty Baneberry who had so recently saved not only the city but the entire star itself.

It set Dainty a little on her guard then that the Gentleman awaiting her at Mehryde’s Meyhane seemed to recognize her instantly, as she was absolutely certain she had never seen the fellow before. She had seen and helped so many in her career as an Adventurer but Dainty was certain she would have remembered this man. For one thing he was obscenely fat. For the other, a small bolt of recognition shot down Dainty’s spine as she approached him, he had the same dark magenta coloured eyes as she did. She had never met another with the same eyes as she although, as an Au Ra she was possessed also of bright candle light orange limbal rings.

Her eyes narrowed in suspicion, noting this new acquaintance bore the tell tale marble like third eye of a pure-blooded Garlean and although his hair was clearly thinned and grayed in his advanced age there were clear signs it had once been bright platinum blond.

“What can I do for you?”

If he were yet another idiot Imperial planning to take umbrage with the Eorzean Alliance’s actions in the Capitol she had far, far better things to do.

“I need not much.” The fat Garlean man rumbled, lowering himself back to the seat he had risen from when she approached by use of a sturdy wooden cane and the edge of the table. “Only a little proof that some small piece of Jade survived beyond my idiot son.” At this he withdrew a large mens locket on a broken silver chain from his pocket and offered it to Dainty. She did not hesitate to take it, rightly or wrongly she had never thought to question when something was handed to her. She opened it with nimble fingers, revealing a small but skillful painting of an aura woman who bore no small amount of resemblance to herself. In fact, were it not for this memoria being possessed of jade green eyes she and Dainty might wholly have been twins. Even the candle light orange limbal rings they shared in common.

Dainty gave her skirt and tail a small swish, then sat herself at the table, still regarding this new acquaintance with slightly narrowed eyes. “Tell me more about Jade and this idiot son of yours and I may be able to assist you.”

[ladyswillmart]

Yes, it was the same dream, running again and again through the subconscious partition of his mind ever since his arrival to the Lands Between. In another time, another place, he could liken the phenomenon to a local low power television station mistakenly airing the same two or three reruns of Mister Ed between late night brokered programming, night after night, a simile that could only be crafted from something observed and never forgotten.

Anachronisms aside, it wasn’t that Arlen didn’t welcome the respite offered by dreams, but the vision was getting a little old. The setting was not a barn with a talking horse, or even something about a new kind of food processor or home mortgage scam, but the Askew family yurt, by nature a temporary structure, this time constructed on a peculiarly scenic cliff that was flanked by a rushing stream to the west and a steep downward pathway to the east, where a rambling garden hosted its own ecosystem in miniature.

And it was time to go. For his people, it was time to pack up and go more often than not, but this time and for unknowable reasons, his family was lingering there for an unusually long while. In the dream, they had put down roots, deep enough to secure the rows of potatoes and pockets of thyme, a patch of wildflowers, a small pasture for the lambs, a family of sparrows.

Most of the time, Arlen was distraught about having to leave, for different but compelling reasons. About never getting to taste the literal fruits of their hard work, about never seeing the fledgling sparrows flit about the chickweed and self-heal, as they strengthened their wings, learned to fly.

Though on rare occasions, the move would come as a relief; whether in dreams or reality, growing roots does tend to complicate things. His people lived, breathed, embodied this philosophy in nearly every aspect of their lives and Arlen supposed they’d all done pretty alright for themselves so far.

But tonight, Arlen was utterly inconsolable. In the dream, his parents informed him and his twin brother and their six siblings that they would not be packing up, they would not be leaving their new homestead. They would be staying here forever. How unusual. Isn’t that what he always wanted? Why was he crying so much about this? But I want to go home, he kept bawling. Even amidst the vegetables and sparrows and the psychic paradise of permanence, I want to go home, I want to go home.

Then, a small voice. One of his younger sisters, offering words of solace perhaps. Arlen couldn’t understand them.

“Aye, what’s that?” he mumbled. The yurt was beginning to unfurl.

“I said: Spoken echoes of Queen Marika linger here, as well,” said the girl.

Arlen’s eyes popped open. The impact of sudden lucidity forced a ragged gasp, the sole report from a sandman’s rug pull. He very ungracefully toppled out of his curled position against what remained of a dilapidated stone chapel wall.

“What!” he managed to exhale, paddling like a nestling albatross against slippery grass and rock, struggling to see the owner of that voice—that he now recognized—through the teeming darkness and the algid mist that blanketed every surface in this blighted peninsula. “Where? Wh—”

“It’s only me,” said Melina, the curve of her cheek somehow made more visible by virtue of the shadows surrounding it. “Were you asleep?”

“I... I was...” Arlen sputtered. “Was I?”

“I did ask if you were asleep and you had naught to say in return,” she continued, her tone conveying a faint suggestion of sweetness. “All curled up like that. Like a dead spider. One could’ve mistaken you for a common corpse. So I spoke, in hopes you would respond. That I was not too late.”

A corpse...? Arlen reflexively brushed his cheeks, which felt cold, clammy. Wet—was he crying? No, it had to be this place, where everything always felt so cold, clammy, wet, inexorably weeping.

Must be why they call it Weeping Peninsula. I s'ppose.

He sniffled conspicuously. “I see. Ah. No, no. No worries, I wasn’t dead and I wasn’t sleeping, neither. I was just, uhm,” he mused, “thinking, I reckon. About one thing or another. Mushrooms.”

“Mushrooms?”

“Awful lot of them about, don’t you think? It’s so grotty I feel like I might become one if I loiter too much.” Even his laugh was watery.

“That is a distinct possibility,” said Melina, a touch too easily. “But you seem well enough for now. Shall I tell you then, what Queen Marika said in this place?”

Arlen sighed, allowing his head to hit the back of the wall once more with a soggy, resigned thump. Perhaps this eidolon had her own Mister Ed reruns on permanent rotation in her mind.

“Alright,” he said, feeling sufficiently sedated for another round of cosmic applesauce. “If you like.”

appears as though he was born 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲-𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 years ago but is actually 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲-𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭, he is a 𝐟𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞 who lives in 𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 as a 𝐩𝐨𝐩 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧, and is in 𝐧𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥. he looks an awful lot like 𝐤𝐢𝐦 𝐣𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐤𝐚𝐢.

“That is love, son of thorns. We welcome its cruelest blows and when we bleed from them, we whisper our thanks.”

'The King of the Unseelie Court and the Queen of the Seelie Court once had a secret affair', the nobles of the Feral Gentry whispered in idle gossip. 'Twins were born out of this affair, very pretty faerie children, a boy and a girl.' 'Such a shame, such a shame that a war broke out, and King and Queen no longer hold each other in their respective favor.' 'What happened to the children they had?' 'Ah, now that's a story! I heard they are in the mortal realm now. Banished! What a cruel fate.' 'Banished? What for?' 'Well imagine the consequences? As if king Oberon would have a Seelie inherit his throne. And Queen Mab had only one way to protect them. They could not stay in the Fae Realm forever. Titania would've had them killed, for certain. She is a jealous consort.' 'Wouldn't it be grand, though? Both courts, finally united under one rule!' 'If only the faelands worked that way... Court politics is such a nasty thing. No one want's unity, however idealistic it sounds. It's not good for the Monarchy, you know.' 'Pity. It would've been such a lovely fairytale, wouldn't it?'

Prince Oberon Rye the Seventh scorns these gossips and is glad that in the mortal world he can hardly get a whiff of them at all. For his younger twin sister's safety, he swore that he will never take a step back into the Faerie World to reclaim his rightful heritage, even when the King and the Queen of their respective Courts step down from their thrones. Let the Midsummer Castle and Winterfell Manor indulge into their boring politics. He is living his best life as a 'human', under the name Seo-Jun Minho. Humans love him and he is famous, adored and showered with attention as a performer. Who'd want to be a prince if they could be a teen idol?

After moving from Seoul to Opulence, so his sister could continue her studies in the US and find a job of her dreams, Minho is travelling often, first on tours with the boy band he was a part of, then to develop a prospering solo career in the industry. He excels at hiding what he truly is in front of the cameras, but this town that his sister chose for them as their new home delights him as well - a place where he can let his wings out and hide from the rising fame he'd acquired in Asia. However, it also reminds him how he misses being a part of the supernatural world, where magic is more than the glittering stage lights and camera flashes... 

“what power did he attain when settling in opulence?”

Can perform the most common illusionary tricks and also create high-level, powerful psychosomatic illusions which may cause real physical changes or mental harm and other effects.
