Recommendation
Warning: language, fluff
Summary: a Shinso x reader where the reader is Aizawa’s little sister? And the reader is the youngest pro hero around so the principal put her 1-a to keep her identity under wraps.. (Maybe the reader puts recommendation after recommendation in for him to be in the hero class? Maybe she puts an internship request in for him?) 
Tumblr media
Aizawa and (y/n) sighed as they looked up at the door they could hear Mic’s loudmouth. Neither of them wanted to go inside they both wanted to go back home and take a nap. The sibling looked at each other as if they could read each other's minds. They both took one slow step backward.
“There you are,” Mic said as he flung the door open revealing the sibling “ Come we’ve got a meeting to get to,” He said draping his arm over Aizawa shoulder and grabbing the back of (y/n)’s jacket dragging them both along while talking loudly. Everyone had gathered in the meeting room and took their seats (y/n) opted out of the chair and instead curled up under the table next to her brother’s feet. Throughout the meeting, he passed her papers or nudged her when she started to fall asleep.
(y/n) was Aizawa’s little sister born when he was in his mid-teens and before his father left their mother. She was a smart girl so smart in fact that at the age of 15 she had already graduated, became a Pro-Hero, and owned two of her own little businesses. And she was only just improving.
Her quirk was she could eraser other quirks by touch, low telekinesis the ability to moving small things with her mind, and she could not feel pain ( although that was more of a disability thanks to her damaged nerve system).
(y/n) was the youngest licensed hero in existents. She wasn’t known to the public but the pro- hero community was aware of her and knew who she was. She was very good at her job and every hero acknowledged that.
After the U.S.J attack (y/n) was recruited to go undercover into Class 1- A as to further keep an eye on and protect them. To say this task was hard was an understatement. Being a teenager was hard.
“ (y/n), the meeting over.”
“I know, I know, I’m just too tired to move,” she says as her brother nudges here with his foot. He sighs standing up he squats down and scoops her up carrying her to the teachers' lounge where she could get a few more extra minutes of shut-eye. They were up until 2AM patroling and a child needs their sleep.
“Alright, just don’t be late and don’t get caught.”
-
(y/n) groaned as she rubbed her temple. Despite being a teenager herself she didn’t understand those her age. She had managed to skip the boy crazy, hormonal, immature phase which most girls went through. She didn’t understand most kids her age having more responsibility than they understood or could handle. The only person her age that she could tolerate was Shouto Todoroki and the only person her age she actually liked was Hitoshi Shinso.
Shinso was a very misunderstood person. His outer appearance was a bit intimating to others and he honestly looked like he didn't know what sleep was but under all that he was a really good guy. He was smart, kind (to those he liked and didn’t think ill of him), mischievous, and curious. So curious in fact he figured out that that (y/n) was a pro- hero and Aizawa’s little sister but agreed to keep it a secret after getting threatened by the entire staff.
Shinso wanted to be apart of the hero course and he could have been but he wasn’t recommended at the beginning of the year and the entrance exam put him at a disadvantage with the robots. Which both she and Aizawa agreed was unfair. She could see the potential in him he just needed a bit of polishing and she was happy to do it.
Since after the sports festival (y/n) and Aizawa had both been training Shinso so that he could get into the hero course. It has been over a year and a half since then and they were still training him. While (y/n) thought he was ready to Join class 1-A or 1-B her brother didn’t and insisted he continues training until he thought Shinso was ready as he was one of the Hero courses teachers and the teacher training him. Even with this in mind thins did not stop her from dropping recommendation after recommendation on her brother’s desk.
Aizawa didn’t even look up at his sister when she dropped this recommendation on his desk although he did roll his eyes when he read it.
“LET HIM JOIN YOU GIANT DICK”
(y/n) groaned some more as she pulled out her sleeping bag and made a nice little nest next to Present Mic’ s desk. Usually, she would be under her brother’s desk but he had pissed her off today by pairing her with Mina for the day. She didn’t have anything against the poor girl she was just too energetic for her liking and today (y/n) was really tired. The girl had brought a headache upon her.
“No,” Aizawa said as he slipped the paper in his desk.
“He has potential it would be best to teach him with the rest of the hero course he is on their level now maybe even a bit higher.”
“No, he isn’t ready”
“He is more than ready and you know it... jerk” instead of getting up (y/n) wiggled her way out of the teacher faculty still in her sleeping back. She didn’t care that the other teachers chuckled at her she was pissed. (Y/n) was so mad she didn’t realize how far she had wiggled or where she had wiggled too. She stopped when she heard footsteps coming the way she watched as they stopped in front of her she looked up.
“Why are you squirming down the hall a caterpillar?” he asked standing above her in his training clothes.
“I’m upset but I’m also tired... I don’t know how I came up with this compromise but I don’t like it anymore” Shinso sighed picking her up and carried her to the training hall. She smiled a bit a year go Shinso couldn’t even lift her let alone carry her now he lifted and carried her effortlessly. Arriving at the jump he paces her in her usual spot against the wall and went to train.
“ I wrote another “ (y/n) said he knew what she was talking about another recommend.
“and he said no. Don’t you get tired of writing those”
“don’t you get tired of getting rejected.”
“no actually” (y/n) sat up looking at him strangely because well that was a strange response. “ Before people didn’t reject me I already had a label as a Villian and I never really act to try and change that. I mean I told them to stop but nothing else. Now I’m acting I’m working to be a hero. He can keep rejecting me but I know he believes in me just like you. That’s why both of them keep training me and why you keep throwing recommendations in your brother’s face.”
“I’ll get there someone day and when I do I’ll be ten times better than the rest of those Class A-1 best believe,” Shinso said winking at her as he grabs his scarf for practice.
“Who are you and what have you done with Shinso?” this amount of positivity was very unusual for him.
“I just had a good day and hearing what you did for me made it better.” walking over he squats down and kissed her forehead. “Thanks”
“aw, what are best friends for” (y/n) giggled. She laid back down and watched as Shinso trained with his scarf. She slowly drifted off to the sound of his training.

Writing Romance: Opposites Attract
Tumblr media
One of the most widespread among romantic tropes is opposites attract, and with good reason. When a couple are opposites, they’re meant to be one of a few things to each other: 1. An inverse reflection of each other. 2. Compliment each other 3. Cover each other’s shortcomings
In a sense, a good Opposites Attract serves to turn two incomplete people into one solid force. If they’re a battle couple, they’ll tend to fight very well together, often balancing force and finesse, melee and ranged, or physical and magical abilities. If the show or book has a lot of time dedicated to foils and character moments, they are more likely to be the ones that each other lean on, since their opposing characters makes them interesting to react off one another. Their roles, story arcs, and backstories tend to run opposite or parallel to one another depending on the series. If one character’s arc is to mature and become more responsible, likely their partner’s arc might be to learn to loosen up and have fun, learn to trust people, or to face a trauma in their past that made them so mature at a young age.
In terms of design, opposites attract partners tend to be inverse in color schemes. Light and dark hair or eyes, warm and cool color schemes, clashing or complimentary fashion styles, etc. The degree in opposition also varies. Some opposites attract look very similar with only a slight difference, indicating that something small is what set them on different paths in life but are otherwise very similar, almost as two sides of the same coin. Other couples are stark contrasts with virtually nothing in common to really emphasize their differences so that they can better make each other whole, as shown very literally through the character of Garnet in Steven Universe. 
Tumblr media
Femme and Butch
While typically, you’re mostly going to see this in femmeslash/yuri pairings, this dynamic is actually fairly universal. This divide focuses on a pairing where each couple reflects the values of masculinity and femininity. Although mostly used as lesbian terms, a femme and butch pairing can also be gay or heterosexual. A fashion-loving twink who cries during romantic movies dating a jock who likes sports and drinks beer is still an example of Femme and Butch. Heterosexual is rather obvious, but can also be inversed, with a tough, assertive woman partnered with a sweet, sensitive man, such as Calhoun and Felix in Wreck-It Ralph. A Femme and Butch pairing doesn’t need to check off every box on this list of traits, but these traits tend to be common in these types of relationships.
Tumblr media
Brains and Brawn
Also known as Jock and Nerd, this romantic dynamic prioritizes the usefulness of both intelligence and brute strength. Another variation is Book Smarts vs Street Smarts. The Brains will be good at doing research, organizing, and will tend to fight more strategically while the Brawn is primarily going to be good at fighting and likely protecting the Brains from serious harm. Princess and Bodyguard is another possible example of this dynamic, albeit a little less directly.
Tumblr media
Hot and Cold
Hot or Warm characters tend to be friendly, outgoing, upbeat, loudmouthed, temperamental, boisterous, and battle-ready. Cold or Cool personalities tend to be shy, calm, quiet, logical, reserved, serious, and emotionally withdrawn. However, while these extreme opposites of hot-head and cold-shoulder balance each other out, it’s worth discussing same heat relationships. Kiribaku is an example of a Hot/Warm relationship, as Bakugou Katsuki is an angry little spitfire with an aggressive streak, while Kirishima Eijirou is a happy-go-lucky sweetheart with a good attitude. This is sort of the same concept, just that both boys are on the warm side of the spectrum, with Kirishima being the cooler counter to Bakugou’s temperamental hot-head. This also works inversely, as the ship Tododeku is a Cold/Cool relationship. Midoriya is a shy, but upbeat young man who tends not to draw too much attention to himself, while Todoroki is stoic, logical, and a bit dense socially. In this case, Midoriya is Cool while Todoriki is Cold, with Midoriya serving as the “Hot” aspect of their relationship as the more friendly and outgoing of the two.  
Tumblr media
Light and Shadow
This archetype is often used as a “opposite sides of the same coin” format, where the characters serve as foils to one another. In Teen Titans, Raven’s powers are dark and demonic, while Starfire’s are bright and extraterrestrial. Both girls get their powers from their emotions, but where Starfire revels in her emotions to make her powerful, Raven must suppress her emotions to retain control of her powers. As the only two girls, they stick out as the obvious foils of the group. Many times, when this trope appears, it’s in the form of Classic Paragon Hero vs Cynical Anti-Hero. Superman and Batman are a great example. Superman is a boyscout token good guy, while Batman is a brooding loner. One is the hope for justice and goodness to always triumph while the other acknowledges that people are flawed, and maybe not everyone deserves to be saved. Naruto is interesting because he has two dark reflections. The first is Sasuke. While Naruto is the golden-haired idealist who befriends villains almost as often as Steven Universe, Sasuke is a dark counter consumed by a thirst for vengeance and the power to exact it. Naruto’s other dark counter however is Gaara. Both are Jinchuriki, but whereas Naruto eventually found friends and love in his fellow genin, Gaara was very much still alone when he met Naruto, reflecting what Naruto could have become without that love and support in this life.
Tumblr media
Protagonist and Rival
Another case of “two sides of the same coin���, most anime protagonists and their rival tend to either have very similar backstories, very similar motivations, or very similar personalities, if not some combination of the three. Both Naruto and Sasuke were abandoned in the world at a young age with the Hokage looking out for them from afar. Naruto started off having nobody, and was always reaching out hoping to connect with anyone. Meanwhile, Sasuke started with a family and lost it, and decided to keep everyone at arm’s length and isolate himself further. Rin Okumura and Ryuji Suguro are practically the same person. Both lost their families and homes due to Satan, both are strong-willed loudmouthed tough guys with a knack for leadership, and both share the goal of killing Satan. Natsu Dragneel is immature and battle-ready, but while Grey Fullbuster at least pretends to be above it, he’ll jump into a fight with Natsu practically unprompted. The main appeal of the anime protagonist and his rival is that they push each other to succeed, often coming from very similar roots, but where they end up is entirely up to the effort they put in and the path they choose to take. They both refuse to lose to each other, and that propells them to constantly want to out-do each other.
Tumblr media
Sweet and Sour
My best friend and I are polar opposites in this sense. When we met, she was far too trusting, submissive, and far too forgiving. Meanwhile, I was a lot more cynical, mean-spirited, and unfortunately, a little more closed-minded than I’d like to admit. After five years of friendship, my friend is far more assertive, has a lot more confidence in herself, is a lot better at handling criticism, and rather than just submitting in an argument, she now has the nerve to get in someone’s face and make her point heard. Because of her, I’ve become less stand-offish, more patient and polite, less of a control freak, more aware of valuing other people’s emotions, and more tolerant of a group I hadn’t realized I’d been intolerant toward. We saw the world in such distinctly different ways that we have managed to rub off on each other, and now we’re both such stronger and more complete people for having known each other.
Tumblr media
Serious and Goofball
A classic comedy duo, the comedian and the straight man. The Goofball character tends to be immature, a knucklehead, a jokester, and comes off as a bit inexperienced. Meanwhile, the Serious character tends to be mature, responsible, disciplined, but comes off as a bit aloof. The Goofball reminds the Serious character to have a little fun every once in a while, while the Serious character reins in the Goofball before they hurt themselves or somebody else.
Tumblr media
Hero and Sidekick
The hero has their act together and the sidekick is just doing their best. This happens a lot in Action movies where the handsome tough guy and the hapless damsel (who he kidnaps a little too often for my liking) is just kind of along for the ride. The two live in entirely different worlds. Sometimes this comes in the variant of Starlet and Manager where one in the relationship takes center stage while the other is content to help them run their life, promote their career, and help them. Another variation is Superstar and Random Extra, wherein one person leads a very visible life in the public eye being adored by millions of fans while their partner works 9-5 in an office dealing with insurance claims. Although they coe from very different worlds and lead very different lives, that doesn’t mean they still haven’t found love in an unlikely place. Often, the reason the hero or big shot loves this random nobody is because they fell in love with them before they ever became famous, or they didn’t know/care who the celebrity was and just liked them as a person without interest in using their celebrity to climb the social ladder.
Tumblr media
Loud and Quiet
She’s quirky, outgoing, bubbly, energetic, and talkative. Too talkative. She never shuts up. He’s quiet, simple, down-to-earth, and calm. Too Calm. He never gets excited. This pairing works to push and pull each other until they’ve harmonized. The Quiet one will be pulled out of their shell and learn to be more open and talkative, while the Loud one will learn to think before they act. This couple is divided along lines of Introversion and Extroversion, and together can navigate the anxiety-triggering unease of a social gathering, and finding joy and pleasure in just enjoying each other’s company without needing to fill the silence with pointless chatter.
Tumblr media
To be fair, many Opposites Attract couples will fit into more than one of these archetypes, and there’s probably more I didn’t list. But if you’re wanting to create a couple that balances each other out, I hope you find this helpful to you in your writing.

DAY 6 of @flufftober2021
Fireman's Carry
Tumblr media
Title: Capture This [← ao3]
Author: Vividly_Violet
Fandom: Diamond no Ace
Relationship: Miyuki Kazuya/Sawamura Eijun
Rating: General
Word Count: 1644
⚾♦️
The cultural festival was in full blast in Seidou High School, students and visitors were milling about, each classroom occupied with whatever their class came up with, from cafe's, exhibits, game booths and photo booths. Miyuki was finishing up his last batch of yakisoba — their class opening up a simple Japanese summer festival themed restaurant — when a loud booming voice called out his name. The third year sighed before removing his apron and calling out one of his classmate to take over for him.
"You're boyfriend's looking for you," she said amused.
"I can hear that." he responded with a chuckle. Miyuki made his way over to the loud noise courtesy of Kuramochi locking the young southpaw in a headlock.
"I give up, please mochi-senpai!"
"Oi Kuramochi, there's food waiting to be served."
"Shut up bastard, I'm just keeping this loudmouth from freaking out our customers."
"You're the scary one kuramochi-senpai, if anyone's driving out customers It'll be because of your delinquent looking scary face." Eijun shouted ducking out of the other third years reach once he escaped Youichi's hold.
"Why you—" Miyuki laughed at the pair running around the semi crowded and busy classroom of class 3B until their class rep grabbed Kuramochi by the scruff of his shirt and glared at Kazuya.
"Seriously?" she sighed, "Kuramochi-san, the customers please and Miyuki-san you can go and enjoy the festival with Sawamura-kun if you'd like, you're off for today. You've done a lot of the prep work, the rest we can handle but be sure to be back before three for the clean up." Eijun let out a loud shout, thanking the class rep with a deep bow embarrassing both her and Miyuki while Kuramochi cackled at the background.
"You heard her, now let's go!" Sawamura grabbed Miyuki by his hand before dragging him out of the classroom. The catcher let the younger teen pull him from classroom to classroom, making sure to stop by some of their teammates rooms to see what their class was doing. From Kawakami's class doing fortune telling to Okumura's class doing an animal themed cafe (Eijun just had to snap a picture of Koushu with wolf ears, the growl the younger teen adding to his character).
They also visited Haruichi and Tojou's class which was doing a haunted house which Kazuya drag his boyfriend in. Sawamura jumped and screamed when he was greeted by the younger Kominato who opened the door from the other side. He wasn't even in costume since he was the one manning the entrance and Kazuya laughed at how easily jumpy Eijun is when they even hadn't even entered. After visiting each of their friends class the pair went jumping from one food stall to another to try out their foods and gamebooths much to the protest of the catchers wallet which was becoming lighter and lighter as they pass one room to another.
⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾
"Hey by the way, what's your class doing?" Kazuya asked after taking a bite out of Eijuns crepe. Both were sitting on a wooden bench under a tree just outside of the school building.
"Hey—" before he could protest Miyuki shoved his own crepe in Sawamura's mouth, taking the cue Eijun took a huge bite from the treat as revenge. Miyuki shook his head before taking another bite off his.
"Were doing a photo booth, the girls in my class kinda got obsessed with brides and grooms from this one manga that's recently became popular and demanded we have a wedding themed photo booth." Eijun answered his boyfriends earlier question.
"Wanna go take one?" Kazuya joked but Eijun jumped to face the older teen.
"Really!?"
"I was just joking."
"But—" the younger teen gave his best puppy dog eyes, a move that was greatly effective with getting whatever he wanted from his boyfriend except for catching for him more. He still needs to work on it to reach that level.
"Fine." the pair made quick work of their crepe and headed off to Sawamura's classroom.
Kanemaru greeted them by the door of class 2B, giving one look at the exasperated team captain and overly excited southpaw before ushering them in.
"So we get to have a costume change and have photos taken of us." Miyuki asked, eyeing the other couples who were having their photos taken.
"Pretty much, we have some backgrounds installed here and costumes that the theater club kindly lent us." the sandy blond teen said as one of their female classmate approached them holding the wedding attires.
"Shinji-kun we have a problem!"
"Huh?"
"We don't have an extra tux!" she exclaimed. Both Shinji and Kazuya paused to stare at her before turning their heads towards Eijun, a grin plastered both on their face. The south paw gulped and tried to make a run for it but Kazuya pulled him to his chest.
"Hey, where do you think you're going, wasn't it you who wanted to have our photos taken."
"I changed my mind." protested the teen, Miyuki's hold tightened.
"Kamemaru!" Sawamura wailed at his fellow first years for help but Shinji was holding up the white wedding dress and Furuya was standing behind the blond, coming out of nowhere, with a camera on hand.
The rest of their classmates seemed to ignore the screams from behind the changing curtain and echoing cackle of Kanemaru as he forcefully shoved the south paw in the dress.
"Haruno! Make-up"
"On it!" She replied as she went inside of the curtain.
"Wait— no one said anything about make-up! Hey—"
"Miyuki-senpai the other changing area is this way."
"Ahh thanks."
After fifteen minutes with Miyuki leaning across the rooms wall having changed into a black tux with a sunflower pinned at the lapel, the curtain to Eijun's changing area finally opened revealing Eijun in a dazzling white long sleeved wedding dress that hugged his lean body perfectly.
His hair was styled in a way that revealed his heart shaped face, white and bedazzled hair clips keeping his hair away from his eyes, clip on earrings with a yellow gems hang from the brunettes ear and his lips were glimmering with the light lipgloss Haruno put on him. His cheeks were pink in hue growing redder and redder the longer Miyuki stared at his boyfriend in awe, mouth agaped and eyes wide.
Eijun blinked, batting his mascara covered eyelashes and showing off the smoky eyeshadow lids at the starstruck older teen.
"Oi you bastard say something!" Eijun yelled as he tugged at the side of his dress, Miyuki snapped from his daze giving Eijun another once over from his head to his heel clad toes.
"Oi you pervert! Stop staring at me like that." the southpaw shrieked and the catcher just chuckled before taking Eijun's hand into his and giving it a squeeze before he pulled it up and placed a kiss on the back of Eijun's pitching hand.
"You're really pretty like this, you know? My lovely pretty bride." Miyuki said shamelessly causing the pitcher to combust. From behind, someone cleared their throat and the pair jumped in surprise, they forgot they weren't the only people in the room.
"Yo remember us?" Shinji said drily while the rest of his classmates were trying to busy themselves and not look at the flirting couple in the room.
"Ahh sorry about that."
"If you guys are done we can take the pictures now."
"Sure."
"So how do you want us."
The pair were led to the other side of the room where flowers were arranged in to an arch and one of the students handed Eijun a bouquet of flower while another fixed the veil on his head. The photographer snapped a picture of the two standing side by side with Eijun's hands wrapped around Kazuya's arm, another with a peace sign and a couple more with different posses all the while most of the female students gushed about how good they look together.
"Hey how 'bout I carry you in a bridal carry?" Miyuki whispered in Sawamura's ear.
"A wha–" but before the younger teen could get ready Miyuki began to lift him up. Sawamura squirmed around at the hold, trying to have Miyuki put him down and shouting how embarrassing it was. The older teen struggled to keep the brunette in place but to no such luck, instead Miyuki heaved a sigh before picking up Eijun again and putting him on his shoulder in to a firemans carry instead of a bridal one.
A couple of shuttering of the camera lens later and with no signs of Miyuki letting him go, Eijun gave up and held on to his catchers strong shoulders grumbling to himself as he heard Miyuki chuckle.
One last shoot, Miyuki brushing his hands across the brunettes thigh and a red hand imprint on Miyuki's face and dressed back in their casual wears later both were heading back to Miyuki's classroom.
"Uhhg I can't believe you did that in front of all my classmates."
"I know, did you see Kanemaru's face."
"That's not— uhhg you're imposible."
"Thank you!"
"Not a compliment."
"Haha love you too."
⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾♦️⚾
Later that evening, Eijun pinned the photo of Miyuki carrying him on his shoulder on the small corkboard over on his desk. Kuramochi who was lounging on his bed rolling his eyes at his roommate tossed his phone to Sawamura. The messenger app of the phone was open to their teams group chat and Eijun let out a squeak upon seeing tons of photos of him in both the changing area and in the photo shoot. When he looked at the name of the sender, he gaped. All were sent by Furuya.
Just then a grinning tanuki sticker was sent and Eijun just plopped down face first on Kuramochi's bed where said person was laughing at him.

Over the last few weeks, I've been retouching/redesigning the main cast of a RPG idea I had as a teen and then promptly scrapped it. I might do stuff with these guys later, but who knows!
In order:
Maya Sereia, Magic Knight of Pisces: She was the protagonist, journeying the country in search of a special fountain required to heal the Prince’s illness. She had decent stats all around, but was more focused in Magic than regular Attack. Her main element was Water, and could dabble in Ice and Darkness. Her main weapon were staffs.
Amelia Barros, Passerby Warrior: Amy was a traveling warrior trying to find her father. I never got it down if it was to simply meet him or to beat the shit out of him, but I’m thinking the latter for now. While her magic stat was poor, her main weapons granted an Earth effect, and was able to cast extra spells (also dabbling in Metal and Fire) that used her attack stat. Her main weapon were swords.
Elric Donmeir, Loudmouth Rogue: As it says in his title, Elric was a show-off, who boasted of his supposed sneaking skills as well as his powerful voice. The second one was true, but the first one... varied. He had Electricity spells, and could learn Sound and Wind attacks as well. His main weapon was daggers.
Sericeo Lunaris (née Groen), Kind Herbologist: Sery here worked as a herbologist, acting as apothecary for a large forest village. He had a nice and soothing disposition and was married to Adalbern. He acted as the primary healer (using an Orb as “weapon” along some herbs), and his main magic was Plants, with influences in Water and Sound.
Adalbern Lunaris, Retired Gruff Knight: contrasting his husband, Adal is more grumpy and snarky, working as lumberjack after 20 years acting as knight in the castle. He’s also a werewolf (has been all his life), and received the nickname “the Forest Beast” by the villagers to scare tourists. He’s quite proud of the nickname, as it makes it easier for people to not bother him when he’s working. His main weapon were axes, and his main magic was Light, also dabbling in Metal and Darkness.
Citrina Solaris de Vespertina, Magic Knight of Leo: Citrina also acted as a magic knight, serving the House of Leo instead of the House of Piscis, and had earned the nickname “La Leona Rubí” (The Ruby Lioness) thanks to her fighting style and flair. She’s a fairly confident warrior, but underneath the badassery there’s a very, VERY goofy woman. Her main weapon were rapiers, and her main Element was Fire, also dabbling in Light and Plants.
If you’re questioning Adal’s outfit, his concept was “buff man in skimpy armor”, after observing how 95% of the time armor for women in games is... barely there. Might as well reverse it.
If I ever do stuff with these characters again, their tentative title for tagging purposes will be Fantasy Story, because I am not original.

JACK WYATT
part of advanced PLACEMENT: an ars PARADOXICA high school au about a gang of queer teen nerds, by @estherroberts​ , @podcastmecaptain , and @lizzieraindrops
all three of the aformentioned dorks are responsible for the hijinks found in this post. today’s, @podcastmecaptain especially. (that’s me!)
click here for the au masterpost | track #ars placement for updates! ALSO: 
things aren’t always showing up in the tags, so your most reliable bet is the aforementioned masterpost.
this is the first of many individualized advanced PLACEMENT works, for stories of each character involved. we each wrote the story that we each post, with input from our other members! without further ado, here’s my first piece:
JACK WYATT
jack is ornery and whip smart and tired and witty and and loudmouthed and defiant
he chomps at any bit you give him
including the laws of science
and the laws of manners
and the laws of gender
and just a bit the law in general.
he’s not willing to change who he is for other people.
“it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, and even more to stand up to your friends.”
and even more to stand up to society as a whole.
but he is willing to love his friends.
we know jack and esther have been friends since. forever.
if there was a prize for most platonic i love yous per hour they'd have won the grand championships
they have also, however, won plenty of REAL science grand championships together
science isn't his entire life but it's MOST of it
he's always been a bit of a tinkerer
before he transitioned esther used to call him tinker bell
his mom’s car engine is the most well kept in Point of Exile
and possibly colorado
possibly america?
he's got a ham radio setup in his attic and a telescope, both are constantly being taken apart and put back together. there's a billion tech and science magazines and shoeboxes full of random parts scattered around the boxes of old clothes or broken furniture. moth eaten cushions line the floor. he stole a satellite from an abandoned cabin on the outskirts of town and it’s his pet project. he really loves his attic workshop, it’s his happy place.
one of his older sisters referred to it exactly once as The Batcave and he got so excited that she never did it again
the first time he knew he was serious about penny he led her up there and talked about all of it, all he's done with it
jack and esther both definitely have known the other likes girls for a very long time
jack thinks he's bi but he likes girls an awful lot. he's a girl leaning bi. who doesn't love girls. afuckingmen.
they're both adhd, but jack actually figured that one out first. esther took much longer, with different symptoms
he's constantly in standing motion, moving in place, focusing either too much or too little and never in between
creative in his machinery in a way others can't be
his mom popped him into a session with a school quack and he finally had a name for the humming hub of energy that snapped and crackled and popped in his head all day, that didn't make him wrong, just meant he worked differently.
a different set of springs and gears for the same human machine. same function, different ways of getting there, maybe even better results. he could get that.
but for his gender, things were slow going.
he has three older sisters. he’s always been firmly in the spot of “the baby girl.” he’s surrounded by femininity and doesn't have a problem with it. but it’s never felt. right. applied to him.
they call him a tomboy and that doesn't fit either
he knows what doesn't fit and what's not healthy. its not comfortable and its not right. that skin is dead before it touched him. it doesn't belong to him.
he worries he might have internalized misogyny like his friend anthony did, he's thoroughly wedged in feminist theory but maybe its just a side affect of society? apparently none of his sisters feel like this
feminist theory has a lot of gender theory too if done right
it doesn't take long for him to find it
and well
he turned it over in his mind
examining it, a piece he knew fit but not where
its a lot of speculation, but not long from discovery to connection
click
there it is
lots more under the read more!
jack was stumbling over the words
not sure how to say it but trying
and esther was figuring it out after the third half try and just kinda waiting for him to take his time
throwing in a lot more casual "dude"s and "bro"s and “my man”s
and then she's like huh. maybe he needs some encouragement
and says that they should try on tuxes for fun, because it's dance season and everyone is trying on formal wear anyway, just to try it
it turns out not to be really her thing, she’ll always be a skirt girl but she LIKES it, and then she sees jack's feet swinging off the bench in the next changing room and humming loudly
and she takes a deep breath, cringes first for potentially getting thrown out of yet another establishment, (that happens more than it should)
and just yells "HEY ISNT THIS THE FUCKING BOMB DOT COM DOT ORG DOT UK BROTHA"
and its so obnoxiously loud he just falls over cackling
and they're so happy
and she throws him the ones with shoulder pads and a low crotch cause SHE KNOWS WHAT SHES DOING
and they make a day of it and go get mac and cheese and play cards and cause a scene cause he makes a good play and she knocks their cups over and he's that much more smiley when they're politely asked to vacate the premises
and he doesn’t realize it that day, but eventually it comes to him that she’s being extra to make him smile
and its easier from there, little things like pointing out that their cute barista penny might be bi instead of just saying gay, pointing out how superior and sharp short hair would look on jack, leaving a king card with a "have a good day" note in his locker instead of a queen
even if in their ongoing locker game of dilemma, they both know that they both know that it's a bad move
it’s really casual one night, he turns around on the couch opens his mouth and she just nods. and then it all comes out from there, pun intended
he was always going to be jack, he had that straightened out for a long time
esther hears this and grins, and his dead name is never brought up again
esther pulls up the computer and takes him virtual binder shopping and they go into the packer section and just start cackling at some of the inferior options and then she gasps in delight, licks the back of the jack of hearts card, and sticks it on his forehead
“jack, you know, you’re really ruining my whole man hating lesbian thing, like, it’s gonna make me look bad if my best friend is a guy”
“it’s gonna make me look bad if my best friend is a huge nerd”
esther cuts his hair
the living room looks like a cat and an opossum had a death match in it
its so so so bad.
then anita comes home.
“this is a MESS esther what have you done let me fix this"
“esther amelia roberts you better start vacuuming NOW while i do your best friend’s hair"
its very well done.
jack doesn't come out to his family, they just heavily suspect he's a butch lesbian
“tomboy” isn't boy, but he guesses its as good as he’ll get from them
he doesn't know their stance, but he doesn't think it's… great?
so he changes into the binder in the back of esther’s or helen’s car or in the bathroom of the bus
he has a hippie aunt out in the country who drops by sometimes for weird occasional visits
she takes him for his testosterone appointments and ice cream afterward
(cake batter. every time.)
esther keeps his needles at her house
esther's mom was told he's trans after cutting his hair
and she's a little :/ about keeping things from his family but she understands that some things are more important and jack is like a son to her
she tells him this
and pats him
he helped esther practice her hebrew for so long he's picked a little up
sometimes they translate little notes into hebrew, then into binary, then into various cyphers, and pass it to each other in class so no one can read it but them
because if jack ever does anything
its never half assed
a couple years ago he got his ass kicked by an angry peer
something about a project being cut
sally saved him before he could get killed and called 911
he had a head injury and now has chronic pain
but takes modern medicine for it
underage alcohol is still way too tempting for him anyway. he's not an addict in this but. he's a little loose. he hasn't told anyone but penny. this is the one thing esther doesn't know
penny always writes his name wrong on his cafe order, getting ridiculously creative
she encourages a caffeine addiction as an alternative
it’s for sure not the best solution, but they're working it out together
penny counts pennies a lot because of the mortgage problem
so jack comes in and fixes all the machines in her cafe for christmas
they help each other
and learn to help themselves
jack’s a builder
he builds for esther, he builds for penny, he builds for himself.
he built himself.
and he's very happy with what he’s made.
