my favorite thing in the prequel trilogy is those tiny moments where it's obi-wan doing the reckless shit and anakin does the...common sense things. fleeing assassin? okay obi-wan's gonna jump out the window, meanwhile Anakin's gonna be civilized and go steal acquire a speeder to chase them down. crash landing on grevious's ship? obi-wan is springing out of his cockpit before his ship has even stopped sliding, meanwhile anakin is fumbling with his seatbelt to carefully hop out to join the fight. It's the funniest fucking thing to me.

imagine your f/o in the mornings. sleep warm, all the little cute noises they'd make as they wake up, their sleep rough voices. the way they'd maybe be clingy, holding you tight because they don't want you to get up yet, cos they just wanna keep you nice and cozy with them. imagine them being half asleep until you're meant to get up, and then they're more alert because they gotta get that first kiss of the day in — and maybe it starts as a peck but then they have you on your back to kiss you properly until you're both laughing. imagine your f/o in the mornings, that is all.

Hey hey- headcanons! Let’s go, Nym! 🤩🤩🤩

If I may, could I request some fluffy SSKK headcanons please? :3 However you go about them is up to you- whatever comes to mind :3

Of course if you’re not feeling up to it, that’s okay too! I wish you a happy day/night and fabulous week! 🥰🥰🥰

Shin Soukoku let's goooooo! 😍😍😍😍 Thank you for the request, friend!! 💖

Shin Soukoku Fluff Headcanons

Once they got together, Atsushi and Akutagawa started inadvertently introducing each other to all kinds of things. Of course the obvious cuddling, tickling, kissing, etc. - but more than that, just everyday things they never really thought about before.

For example, Akutagawa got Atsushi into metal music by accident. He was listening to it one day when they happened upon each other, and Atsushi asked him what he was listening to. Thinking he would scare him off and be able to have his alone time, Aku let Atsushi listen to what was currently playing in his playlist, but although it took our weretiger by surprise, he was strangely interested and spent the rest of the day/night researching metal bands and music and the like. He even found one that Akutagwa had never heard of and got him hooked on it right back! 😊

As for Atsushi, he introduced Akutagawa to the basics of gaming - Super Mario (I may have watched the movie recently and am in a mood, shush). Aku had never had the chance to just sit and play video games, much like Atsushi, but one afternoon Atsushi asked if he wanted to play Mario Kart, and Akutagawa begrudgingly gave it a try - and got addicted to it. Now it's one of his favorite dating activities. He think's it's interestingly odd (and kind of cute) that Atsushi usually picks female characters - Peach, Daisy, Toadette, etc. True to his nature, Akutagawa usually chooses Waluigi. He likes being the bad guy. 😈

Now for one that's mildly unrelated but dear lord if it doesn't make me swoon for them: You know that trope where the hero gets his ass handed to him and his rival/enemy finds him like that and the hero is expecting to be mocked or beat up even worse but instead the enemy gets this enraged look on their face and demands, "Who did this to you?" That's Atsushi and Akutagawa, 10000% percent. Even before they started going out, but ESPECIALLY after. 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you again for letting me indulge in my Shin Soukoku fangirling ways!! This was so much fun to write! 🖤🤍

My favorite thing about the One Piece live action is that, unlike the source material, they probably won't be able to get away with reducing certain characters solely to comedic reliefs and consequently butchering their development

#one piece #one piece live action #opla #one piece netflix #nym's posts #not that they will make it that far? don't get me wrong i loved the live action and wish them all the seasons #but realistically speaking the changes they make it that far are soooo low #but i still hope they do! i want to see vivi and chopper and ace franky and brook and sabo as well as places like water 7 or dressrossa #and it would be amazing to get to enjoy nami sanji usopp chopper and others not being reduced to mostly gags and laughs

genuinely sometimes I think I'd be happier if I just left fandom altogether - maybe not the self shipping side that makes me happy but like. as much as spite used to fuel me into making even more poe stuff I have to admit that my experiences with that fandom have really just. burned me (out). I don't really feel the point in making stuff creatively even tho I enjoy making things and giffing is good regulation for me, but it's maybe not worth constantly having to hear negative things about my special interest, pushing my comfort boundaries in sharing poe, and constantly hearing about how a character I adore and relate to a lot and has gotten me through so much in the last 9 years — was actually just better when the fandom could slap whatever personality they wanted onto him.

it's been a hot minute, and honestly I'm trying to use social media less, but talking to @dameronalone last night about Poe spurred on a lengthier thought process/analysis of him today, so I want to talk about Poe Dameron and emotional neglect.

That sounds heavy as hell! It really does, but it's been on my mind recently while re-examining Poe while I come to terms with a new neurodivergency(tm) of mine, and it's really changing my whole perspective on him as a whole.

So what is emotional neglect? Well, according to ScienceDirect, it's this

Emotional neglect can be defined as a relationship pattern in which an individual’s affectional needs are consistently disregarded, ignored, invalidated, or unappreciated by a significant other.

At which point you're probably thinking "okay Nym, but Poe doesn't have a significant other" which is true! But Poe's emotions do get neglected quite often. Let's examine it below the cut shall we?

So what spawned this thought process of mine, was my partner mentioning that Poe probably is feeling a little bit "he was my friend first" about Finn in TROS, in regards to his jealousy. Whether you want to look at things from a romantic lens, a platonic lens, or a queerplatonic one, I think it's safe to say we can all agree that in TROS Poe is feeling left out.

"You mean when Poe's not here" he's clearly bitter and angry about being the odd man out, that they're keeping secrets from him (even if they also don't know everything about him), and can't let it go even when they're about to be executed. Poe is usually the one to get left behind, so there's a lot that he's not privy too - not just in the sense that Finn and Rey both have the Force when he doesn't, just in the sense that there's a history there that Poe doesn't know.

And - to no fault of their own - I don't think anyone's attitudes in the film is particularly helping Poe's sense of isolation and alienation. He gets held to a particularly high, nearly impossible to reach, standard at every turn. He attempts to save everyone's life aboard the Falcon, and is at first clearly compared to Rey (although I don't understand Chewie, I think the "Rey wouldn't be doing this" translates extremely well considering Poe's follow up of "well Rey's not here, is she?"), and then his accomplishment of getting everyone back alive is completely dismissed because he trashed the Falcon doing so. Again, he's held to a standard he cannot meet. Every time Poe does something, it's treated as not enough.

As much as we might joke about the fact that the TROS visual dictionary implies he has a praise kink, the fact that it points out that "yeah well, I got us back didn't I?" is Poe seeking acknowledgment, one that he doesn't get in the slightest, leads into I think the most telling thing about how much Poe's emotional needs are neglected: Zorii.

By all rights, things should be way more complicated between them than they are, from Poe's perspective. Regardless of how nuanced the actual circumstances were, the fact of the matter is that things ended awfully between them two of them (not that it started well between them, when Zorii tricked Poe) and the last time Poe saw her, they fought physically as enemies despite being friends that occasionally made out just a few short hours before.

And we do see some of that "complicated" initially. Poe drags his feet about going back to Kijimi (and I think a little of that is due to him not wanting to lose any 'standing' with Finn and Rey, if they find out something less than great about his past, then perhaps their opinion of him will drop), and he's guarded around Zorii - up until the rooftop scene.

As much of it is likely latent "I think I might have loved you once upon a time" feelings, I do think Poe jumps so quickly into opening up around her, because she unintentionally fills an absence/lacking that Poe feels around everyone else, and especially around Finn and Rey (who at this point seem to be the people he's closest with). Zorii gets Poe in a way neither of them will be able to, on several layers, and I think that might be a little bit also why he's even able to open up to her. If Poe's already feeling left out, the having somebody abruptly ask him to run away with her because she wants him around and wants to include him, and then acknowledges what no one else has/is able to ("I don't believe you believe that"), then I can understand why Poe in the next few minutes is asking to kiss her.

But it's also indicative of...a recurring trait of Poe's, as well. Because Poe has a tendency of becoming ride or die for people, upon being offered...the bare minimum?

Zorii shows him a small amount of vulnerability in lowering her visor so they can speak, then admits she wants him around, and hears him out about his fears and points out that she knows deep down that he doesn't believe that. And it's enough to make Poe ask her to come with them, to kiss her, and then later give her bedroom eyes across the clearing on Ajan Kloss.

But - it's not just romantically that this happens. The same thing happens in Before the Awakening. Yes, Poe absolutely would have joined regardless because of what happened to Muran, but I personally think Poe becoming immediately ride or die for Leia, has a lot to do with the fact that Leia listens to him.

He mentions that he's never felt so heard before in his life, and it moves him enough that I think it has a lot to do with why he's immediately personally loyal to Leia and willing to do anything for her.

Even prior to any romantic feelings for Zorii, he projects a bit on her in Freefall because they're of similar age, and winds up loyal to her because of the fact that they bond a little bit because of their similarities - in terms of age, of feeling older than they are because of trauma, and feeling the weight of their respective family legacies. Again, it's the bare minimum of being heard, that draws Poe in.

(I think you could make a small argument, also, for Poe being so immediately ride or die for Finn, because the latter saved Poe's life and then rescued BB-8.)

Considering the continuing trend of Poe throwing himself at the next problem so he doesn't have to stop and linger on his problems, I think his emotional neglect is partially self-inflicted, but I do think there is a larger habit of the people around him on occasion forgetting that he has those emotional needs as well.

He is the Leia of the sequel trilogy, in the sense that I think everyone looks at how strong and competent he is, and forgets that he needs the same amount of emotional care as anyone else. And unfortunately, unlike Leia, what Poe doesn't have is a Han to beat it over his head that he needs to be taken care of just as much as the Resistance does.

It all rounds back to the "everything's easy for Poe Dameron, no need to dwell" in issue #14 of the Poe comics. And you'd think that, since after TLJ Poe is no longer hiding behind that cheerful, cocky flyboy facade, that things would actually be easier for him, but it isn't - his emotional needs are still being neglected, routinely both by him and the people around him because it seems like he doesn't need them as much, WHILE also feeling left out and held to impossible standards he seemingly can't meet no matter how hard he tries or whatever he might accomplish.

And it's hard to say what might have prompted this - it could be the strain his and Kes's relationship took due to Kes falling into a depression and being unable to meet Poe where Poe was at in his grief. It could (and most likely) have something to do with his mother's former coworkers telling Poe he was more trouble than he was worth and that Kes would give up on him someday. It could be from spending a year and a half/two years of being put down for his idealism by Zorii. It could be from years in the New Republic, being told he was a problem for being who he was and standing up for what he believed in. It could be all of the above, as well as Poe's own mental health problems.

But it's safe to say that I want to curl up around him like a protective little dragon and hug him for a long time and make that boy feel so loved that the bare minimum doesn't get hearts floating around in his eyes ever again.

OKOK apologizes for the whole alphabet 😅How about C,I,K,P with V and if T as well is alright that’d be great if not the first five are Just fine

I don't know that anyone's ever asked me for all of the anything when doing these ask games before. That was definitely a first! And I'm only doing all six because I feel like the answer to V is pretty obvious given the circumstances. 😂

C: Chase | What are their chances in a chase, both as a lee and ler?

Have you EVER seen Atsushi outrun Akutagawa? I mean really? The man stands absolutely no chance if Aku decides to give chase. Meanwhile Akutagawa can usually easily get away if he wants to unless he 1) is in the mood to get caught or 2) doesn't have his coat on.

I: Interrogation | How well would they handle a tickle interrogation?

Oooh! I actually feel like neither of them would be able to stand a tickle interrogation. Atsushi is all fluster and blind ticklish panic and will try to hold out but eventually he just can't anymore. Akutagawa would be more determined to hold out, but he would eventually give up if it meant the tickling would stop.

K: Killer Move | As a ler, do they have special skills to use against their lees and drive them crazy with?

Atsushi's killer move is definitely using his tiger strength and fur/claws to his advantage! Akutagwa's killer move is obviously Rashomon - Atsushi both loves and hates when he uses it against him.

P: Partner In Crime | If they were to go after a lee and accept the aid of a tickle partner, who do they prefer to join hands with and why?

Hmm...if we put aside the obvious "Akutagwa and Atsushi would definitely team up to tickle someone," I'd say Atsushi would love teaming up with Dazai to tickle Akutagwa, and Aku would maybe team up with Dazai or Chuuya? Dazai seems to be the common denominator between the two of them, though.

V: Victim | As a ler, who is their favorite lee and what makes this person their ultimate victim?

Obvious answer is obvious - Akutagawa's favorite victim is Atsushi, and Atsushi's favorite is Akutagawa. They are SOULMATES.

T: Teasing | Their most favorite methods of teasing their lee/ler?

Atsushi loves calling Akutagawa out on his ticklishness. He would be all "I thought you said you weren't ticklish" or "you said you could handle it! why are you trying to get away?"

Akutagawa's teasing is more mocking, but in a loving way. Like "poor little weretiger can't take a little tickling? you're so ticklish, it's too easy to take you down this way. you need to work on your stamina" and so on. ^^

Thanks for asking!
