More on the poor girl who’s 141’s chewtoy?
She has the worst fate!! Being a pet wife/incubator for one monster is bad enough, but it can be manageable if your new owner isn't an asshole and doesn't treat you like a lifeless object. It's a rare case, sure, but even Konig is somewhat softer after you get his eggs, the mating instincts in monsters are all kicking in. The 141 however...I love to see them as a pack of different breed shifters, maybe were-creatures like bears, wolves, and various birds...they all have this semi-animalistic mentality, they formed a pack bond that is stronger than any blood relations. They are more than family and it's only natural that they share the same darling, yes? Unfortunately for you, it is only natural for them, and you're soon getting dragged from the human pet shop by an excited overgrown werewolf with a dumb mohawk that chirps about getting such a pretty girl for his team!! You are never alone - every time other team members are on a mission, the other ones take care of you, always keeping watch over your silly escape attempts like humans have any future in the monster world now( Gaz is usually the one who is softer with you, his nature as a werebird is making him somewhat more caring, he will drag you a lot of shiny gifts and flashy clothes because he is pretty and he wants his girl to be pretty! Soap is usually the one to always fuck you, unfortunately. Being a classic werewolf, he is too fucking horny for his own good, always stuck in a knot with you, always mating and hoping that you will give birth to healthy pups, even though he is somewhat sad they are mostly taken away for the training needs( his pack mentality is strong, so if you really really really want at least some of your children to stay with you, you should beg Soap to allow you to see them occasionally - he would gladly steal the pups back to base, but it would mean you won't give him as much attention(
@ceilidho mostly inspired me for this, but werebear!Price is literally perfect and I won't stand for otherwise. He is big, burly, with a soft tummy and warm hands that would easily push you down, ass up in the air because you were a naughty little incubator and whined too much about Soap and Gaz being too rough( he knows your limits, and also knows that they are spoiling you too much! You need some discipline and your bear captain is gladly providing you with spanks that make your ass raw, with his teeth and a dick that takes away your ability to walk at least for a few days( he is older than every other member of the pack, and he won't really bother you too much with sex - he knows you're tired, especially if you're pregnant, and he enjoys slow cockwarming sessions and just laying in the nest with you, false hybernating on your swollen, milk-filled breasts.
Ghost is...complicated. You don't even know what type of shifter he is at first, he is too fucking secretive to even talk about it. Only after a few involuntary breakdowns, could you catch a glimpse of his shadowy form - whatever animal-type monster he was, staid in the past. He is all shadows now, dark and glossy with smoke tendrils that help him handle you in place every time you become too squirmy. You were so convinced Simon hated you at first, just a dumb human who disrupts the balance of their pack, but your fears were proven wrong once you were pressed against a wall, thick dark tendrils squeezing in and out of your pussy. Ghost is the only one who can't breed you, and it only makes him more protective whenever you're pregnant.

Do you think dinosaurs in certain regions were brightly colored like birds of paradise, blue birds + cardinals, etc? I bet a shiny black and blue-green raptor like a magpie would be super pretty!
Given how living dinosaurs have good color vision and their cousins, crocodilians, have good color vision, and many dinosaurs were so large that cryptic coloration wouldn't have hidden them for jack shit, probably! honestly, dinosaurs are a flashy group - we see that in their fossilized display structures and the weird displays in modern birds - and that often comes with bright colors. The Mesozoic may have been a very colorful place! Scales and feathers do bright colors WAY better than fur - the age of brown tones is a mammal thing!

My favourite and least favourite OPM hairstyles
Least Favourite
Tumblr media
Garou’s hair is ugly af it makes him look like an evil rabbit and it looks really knotted too, if you tried to brush it out the brush would break. I hope his hair is naturally styled like that because I refuse to believe Garou would purposely style his hair that way every morning before he goes hero hunting. Idk how anyone could take him seriously with hair like that.
Tumblr media
I wonder how many jars of hair gel Lightning Max goes through a month when he styles his hair, it looks like a stiff dollop of cream on his head. Idk why but the hairstyle, plus the fact he’s blond and blue eyed makes me think of Tweety Bird whenever I see him. Garou’s hair is ugly, but Lightning Max’s hair is plain silly.
Tumblr media
Tbh with Puri Puri Prisoner’s hair everyone I’ve met with this hairstyle I’ve hated. His hair reminds me of the annoying people at school who’d bully you and disrupt the class and that alone makes him worthy of being placed in this category.
Favourite Hairstyles
Tumblr media
Tatsumaki’s hair is so pretty I love how it curls at the end and how it floats and bounces around her, especially when she uses her powers. To me her hair makes her look really classy, I really liked the look of her hair when she was first introduced.
Tumblr media
Let’s not act surprised Flashy Flash is the King of Keratin and could probably be the face of Tresemme if he so wished. Here Murata really went out of his way to draw his hair as shiny and slick as possible even when he’s executing a double kill. Even when Flash’s hair is messy and gets in his face I still like it because I think it makes him look prettier.
Tumblr media
You could argue that Okamaitachi and Garou have the same hairstyle and it’s unfair that I put his hairstyle in my least favourite category and Kama’s in my favourite. But the thing is Kama’s hair is actually nice. I like the slickness of curvature of hair, it actually looks like she takes care of her hair unlike Garou. I also appreciate the bangs clipped to the side and the loose stands at the front. Her hair is cute and eccentric, Garou’s hair only ticks one of those boxes.
Tumblr media
Drive Knight’s hair is underwhelming when you first meet him, it makes him look like a weak, nerdy robot who gets zero robot bitches. But when you see him fighting with Nyan?? It’s like his hair had a glow up and now he gets all the robot ass he wants. It’s longer, more fluffy and luscious and makes him look more scary. I wonder if it’s real hair.
Tumblr media
Bomb’s hair is bomb. That’s all I have to say.

Avian 'verse mating season HCs!
For any 'verses with avian-related dynamics! As someone who has constant bird brainrot, this will be mostly based on a mixture of my own headcanons about the omegaverse in general & irl bird behaviours.
I call a group of bird-based people a 'flock' :D
Also note that nesting (the act of building a nest) =/= reproducing (the act of producing offspring); this is because in many species the male is responsible for building a nest whereas the female is the one doing the reproducing.
Mating seasons for birds typically happen in spring! This means that:
Non-reproducing members of a social flock may get increasingly irritable and territorial- they will often fiercely defend their collective territory from outsiders
Social flocks tend to synchronise nesting and having hatchlings at the same time if they so desire, as to ensure they can take full advantage of the mating season
Solitary or near-solitary birds (those with very small flocks), on the other hand, will have reproducing members being the territorial one since they are defending their hatchlings
Another form of nest protection mechanism is to divert a threatening predator's attention, either by feigning a weakness like irl birds or creatively distracting them!
I'd think that adolescents would use this as an excuse to do some pretty crazy stuff. "Why did you throw that rock into my window?" "Because he looked at me threateningly!"
Showing off flashy, shiny or otherwise items of value to a prospective mate for courting or just to show them your appreciation
Other forms of arts, such as singing, dancing, poetry, flower arranging, scrapbooking, cooking, you name it, they can all be part of a courting ritual
Or maybe you're not good at arts. A courter can also try to impress a courtee with virtually anything they're good at, so you'd get two nerds(/affectionate) trying to court each other by spitting out obscure facts or something
Crafting elaborate items, anything from knitting a scarf to building a whole treehouse, as a nesting partner gifting to the reproducing partner in order to show how good they are at making a nest
Adolescents of all dynamics practise courting & nesting on each other as preparation; this can lead to some confusion if one side is genuinely interested and the other thinks it's a practise! RIP
And lastly, a-spec people may or may not have these urges, or wish to participate in these. Some a-spec people still do a variation of the courting ritual for friends or family, others may have been mimicking allo peers without realising its actual use as a courting ritual!
If I think of any more I'll add them! Some of these behaviours I already exhibit as both a misceavian and a bird therian haha.

Skywing headcanons
- Skywings are scaley. regardless I'm basing their culture off of birds, you can't stop me
- fashion is more important to skywing males instead of females. They deck themselves out in intracate facepaint and put on anything shiny or colorful. They often bicker over who has the best duds, often with passive aggressive snark. Nobility gets real wild, with full on body paint and flashy metals. Males can get into duels of honor if you badly insult their fashion sense.
- females are bigger than males and have less of a pressure to look pretty, but males will defend his wife's honor if you insult her beauty. Well, he's expected to.
- Skywings are the best blacksmiths, but they put equal time into making art than they do creating weapons. In fact, the two often overlap, with swords having intricately made handles and sheaths, bows shaped like detailed dragon wings, and armor shaped like flame. 
- what I'm getting at is their culture is very aggressive while still highly valuing art and beauty
- Skywings have festivals where they dance in the sky, retelling cultural stories and history while dressing in elaborate costumes. 
- ice and fire is a common theme in Skywing art, contrasting the fire of the dragons to the snowy peaks on their mountain home

WAIT HOLD ON I HAD AN IDEA!
So with the gift giving of feathers and scales, and the way you describe Emmet’s monster form I was hit in the head with a few ideas.
So male birds are the pretty and flashy ones, so that got me thinking, he is try to be flashy and show off around his darling? Bright vibrant colors, maybe battles, and how pretty he is.
And to piggy back off that, what about gifts from darling? Like homemade chocolates, rocks, shiny things.
Would the two eldritch twins see that as their darling courting them?
And with Ingo being being lizard like and shadowy, aside from scale giving, does he try to give off a comforting scent to show he’s approachable? Or flash a bright color as a warning?
I apologize for the rambling! And possibly flooding your in box, I hope I’m not doing that. I’m very excited and in love with your writing! - noodle
Hnnnnn Noodle I love all of these ideas
I like to imagine Emmet is the bigger show-off of the two- He adores your praise and attention! He wants more! Constantly! He'll practice with his pokemon to perfect elite-rank-contest-worthy attack combos on his opponents to dazzle you. I think he also spends a lotta time grooming and preening his feathers- they're very sensitive to touch as well so they feel very refreshing after he's washed them- and he finds it especially nice if you're the one doing the grooming! And like with his feathers, he's obsessed with keeping his coat and hat and outfit as immaculate as possible- He's practically glowing every time you see him. Ingo might have to point out sometimes that actually, he is glowing- And-people-are-staring-so-please-stop-
He loves light and color and life and vibrancy- After all, he is an eldritch entity of light. ...and other things
While he prefers his light/white aesthetic for himself, His halo has prismatic layers to it that can change the intensity and hue of the radiance he's giving off, making it reflect various colors- All of the colors are fairly intense, but also all tinged with his Eldritch light; Making them, unfortunately, difficult to look at. And of course, he doesn't want you looking around the room for the cast colors- He wants you looking at him! He can flex his wings and feathers to catch all the radiance himself- Making his wings look intensely, eye-catchingly rainbow, or whatever colors are being reflected. Usually, the colors aren't rainbow- but a grouping of similar toned hues as that's what's easiest for him to make.
You'll be coddled in a shimmering feather-nest of warm glittering golds and autumn oranges and yellows and earthen browns and scarlet reds and hints of rosy pink- Or forest greens giving way to skylight blues and cerulean and cyan, flickering like emeralds and sapphires over silver- giving way to deep indigo and violets and amethyst purples and rosy maroons.
Like I said, It's only when he's really trying to wow you that he's busting out making his halo/general radiance super vibrant and prismatic and rainbowy. This also leads to Darling becoming Dazzled by Eldritch lights which Ingo will have to fix
He will gift his darling vibrant colored things and if you really like brightly colored things, he'll accessorize as well; If his hair is long enough for a ponytail, the ties binding it back are colorful. If it's cold, he's wearing a vibrantly colored scarf- that sort of thing! If you catch him outside of Gear Station on the rare occasion he is physically out of the Station, he'll be wearing mostly white/grey/black, with considerably more colored accessories/accents than before. He adores shiny things that reflect his light as well- Especially when you're the one wearing them.
He gets annoyed if you don't notice these things though; He wants your praise and attention, and if the extras aren't wow-ing you he'll move onto something else.
And to piggy back off that, what about gifts from darling? Like homemade chocolates, rocks, shiny things. Would the two eldritch twins see that as their darling courting them?
Gifts are a big thing for soulmates to share- Ingo and Emmet are aware you can't exactly do any Eldritch magic stuff on your own, and ergo can't give them what they'd consider normal gifts- But you can give them human gifts, and they love it. If it's before you're dating, then they absolutely take it to mean you're trying to court them- And they're probably right- And are responding accordingly.
They especially like gifts that take time and effort to prepare. You've been thinking of them the whole time you've been making those chocolates, pouring your love and energy into them! They may have to shoo you out of their office after you give them such treats, however- As it's difficult for them to remain human when they're so very elated.
Also, being weird eldritch-demon things, they love offerings and rituals- I can see them handing Darling a pair of Grimoires; Sucker for Love style ones that detail not how to get them to do stuff for you, but their favorite offerings, incantations, ritual-space preparations, incenses they like, etc.
One's black as night, etched with a silver insignia that has a shape vaguely like an upwards-pointing triangle; And the other one's blindingly silver-white and shiny, etched with a tar-black insignia looking vaguely like a downwards facing triangle. I also think the whole "Eldritch entities like being worshiped by humans" is partially why Emmet likes being praised so much. (On that note Ingo also likes it but doesn't really realize how much he likes it- Until Darling starts laying the praise on thicc, and from then on when he's particularly deep in the brainrot he'll beg for praise as well, if you aren't already complimenting him and showering him with your love.)
And with Ingo being being lizard like and shadowy, aside from scale giving, does he try to give off a comforting scent to show he’s approachable? Or flash a bright color as a warning?
I imagine Ingo's preferred method of courting would be to show off that he's an excellent protector and supporter. He really likes to lean over or hover around you- You'll probably feel a little hazy while he's doing this, unless it's after they start dating you, in which case he doesn't need to make you hazy-headed to get you to be blissfully unaware that he's extremely close and leaning over you in a way your boss should not be.
Also if he did give off a scent (IDK what scent to give him but I'm sort of imagining that he'd smell like incense of some kind because eldritch occult monster guy or possibly warm bread because warm bread is comforting and the only scent I can think of right now b/c I just made bread and it's the only thing I can smell) of any kind, I think he'd try to rub it off on Darling- And you can't quite remember where you picked up this lovely scent on your skin and clothes, but even after you wash you can still smell it on you.
I think Ingo would have less "warning signs" than Emmet does- Eldritch Demons normally have only one warning they issue; They'll tell the offender something along the lines of "You're not wanted here, go away," or other appropriate phrases depending on what sort of harassment they're receiving; And then go back to doing whatever they were doing.
Attempting to harass an Eldritch Entity even more after this warrants them preparing to attack.
Emmet's feathers become rigid and pointed- The fur on his body falling flat and becoming coarse and rough and sharp, and he'll drag his clawed feet along the ground- Tearing up the Earth before launching himself at his opponent in a bullet-fast flurry of knife-sharp feathers covered in thousands of needles- And burning radiance.
If someone's managed to piss off Ingo enough (Congratulations how the heck did you manage that?!) to get him ready to attack though... His coat starts fraying at the edges, dripping into shadows and darkness and his hands are curling weirdly into claws as he gradually loses more and more of his form- a shambling mass of shadows, dripping with ashen venom and malice for whomever is in front of him. And the only indications there's anything within the shadows is the strange, silvery slitted lights peering out from the depths, and occasionally, a shape of a tail or claws or the mouth from which the acrid venom is drooling out. Whatever the shadows touch melds into them- losing it's shape and it's life. Ingo does not need to move fast to take down an enemy, either. His enemy lost the moment the shadows touch them- And they'll be eaten away by the darkness until all that remains of them is nothing.
It's worth saying tho that neither of them, however, have really encountered anything in the pokemon world strong enough to warrant an old fashioned Eldritch showdown- In this realm, they both just probably issue their warnings and then if the idiot continues to bother them, they just go snap and the bother is gone. (Unless they were trying to impress you. Then maybe they'll show you how scary they can be!)
I also love love love the idea of Ingo flashing a bright color as a warning sign too adkajd that is so good; Like some enemy has managed to piss off The Eldritch Entity of Darkness so much he's giving off so much magical energy and malice that it actually turns into a bright aura around him, electrifying the air and settling over his scales in a stark contrast- The colors themselves would have a violent feel to them, if that makes sense. Looking at this entity's scales, which are naturally and meant to be dark, black voids- To see them so horrifyingly vibrant feels inherently wrong and sickening. And it is. The colors are disorienting and painful and getting worse every second the victim looks at them-
And it's the last thing they'll ever see.

Shiny-ness tends to be a disadvantage in Pokemon, not helping with camouflage ect...but are there any Pokemon who actually benefit from their Shiny forms? Such as their different colours attracting mates, or being better camouflage, etc.?
Awesome question! This is a great example of a classic evolutionary conundrum that many species face: how to balance attracting a mate to increase fitness while also avoiding attracting predators/alerting prey with flashy ornaments. Since, after all, starving or being eaten is a pretty surefire way to decrease fitness... unless you've already secured a mate. There are many species that have pushed past the threshold of "remain reasonable and demure" and have opted for a still-successful life cycle strategy of "go out with a bang" (pun intended). Many bird Pokémon may especially benefit from being Shiny with respect to this, as their mate selection process is already highly dependent on visual cues. It means that even if an individual has less than optimal genes for bright natural coloration, they may make up for that by being Shiny. This of course is dependent on the Shiny variation in color not being so extremely different from the standard that potential mates no longer recognize the Shiny Pokémon in question.
Conversely, Pokémon whose natural histories involve indiscriminate reproduction, like broadcast spawning, are pretty adversely impacted by Shininess. This includes many non-mammalian aquatic Pokémon.
And furthermore, there is some speculation that Shininess may constitute a mechanism for warning signaling; i.e. telling a potential predator that they might be poisonous (whether or not that's actually true). This is called aposematism, and the idea certainly holds water from most angles. However, aposematic species normally have to be able to put their money where their mouths are, so to speak, every now and again to remind predators just what those signals mean. This means that if they themselves are not dangerous to eat, they must resemble another species that is... and this isn't the case for all Shiny Pokémon. But that doesn't mean that it has not, or will not ever be a potential positive consequence.
Considering the recent increase in popular interest in Shiny Pokémon, there will hopefully be more studies done on their ecologies. I would personally be really interested to know how the presence of a Shiny Pokémon impacts the sustainability of its population as well as their broader community.

Grian and Jimmy!
Can you maybe tell us some stuff about avians? It can range from you talking about your guys culture to ranting about common mistakes that people make about you guys! Really just anythung you two wanna share!
~Mezalea Anon!!
"Hm, okay so, generally theres two types of avian. Ones with pointed ears, and ones with wing ears. It depends on the potency of your bird genes, basically. If your human sides significantly stronger, your instincts are like- lessened. You also have the pointed ears, and you're pretty in control. As a wingfolk- which is what we call avians with winged ears because otherwise it sounds stupid - your instincts are heightened because of the more potent bird genes. This is both a good and bad thing, since you also get some of the allergies from the bird you are, but also you get heightened senses- mainly sight. Also, we tend to have one hell of a bird brain- which is really funny to watch until you get dragged in by your own." "Whoooo boy, okay. I'm just going to talk about avian centric communities, because that's where like- culture and actual avian habits are most potent. There isn't a lot of those anymore, which is a shame. Anyway, something people don't really know is that- clothing matters. Well- it both does and doesn't- avians aren't too discriminatory in the sense that we either hate everyone, or are cool with everyone. Anyway, your sense of style usually reflects on what kind of bird you are- it's not like a written on paper thing, it's just... subconscious. Usually, if you have really bright wings with a bunch of color, it's normal to wear monotone things, or even monochrome. If you have a pretty uniform feather color, you tend to wear flashy things- either stuff that'd catch you off guard or really bright colors. Avians who tend to only live in avian communities or are specific species, shirts are usually just a suggestion in the summer. Like- in populated, diverse places, obviously you need decency, right? But in avian communities, everyone can relate to needing your feathers to breathe, and that comfort, so it's basically fine. This, by proxy makes body jewlery really popular- since shiny things look pretty, and also the flashy thing I said previously. As for specific culture? That's usually hybrid or family dependent. Even if it's just bird hybrids, the diversity is mental."

Day 26: Action Magic – Crossover @arcvmonth
Since I still immensely adore combining both Pokemon and Arc V together, I figured that I'll use this prompt for another chance to think of Pokemon that would fit with more of the Arc V cast. This time, I'll focus on the rest of the Lancers. Next to Yuya, Shun would be easiest character to give a full team since he would get practically all of the regional birds. Talonflame, Staraptor and Corviknight in particular are pretty much perfect fits for him. Kilowattrel would be a really great fit too. I think prior to the Academia invasion, he would have been training to become a new Gym Leader. He'd battle fiercely with his Pokemon, but still try to heal them between battles as much as possible so that they aren't exhausted.
I could picture Reiji with Psychic Pokemon like Gallade, Meowstic and Metagross. It would fit with his personality and Gallade would be a great fit since it battles fiercely when it finds someone or something to protect. Gallade would want to help Reiji with protecting their home from Academia, so that would make it battle more intensely. Reira would also have Psychic Pokemon, but starting off with a completely unevolved team unlike all of the characters. Espurr is a perfect fit for her. She's also have a Ralts, a Beldum and an Abra. They would slowly become stronger over the course of the series, evolving to match with Reria's growth as well. She'd have a female Meowstic and a Gardevoir eventually instead to both mirror Reiji's team, as well as to hint at the twist that Reira is a girl. Her Gardevoir and Meowstic in particular are especially protective over Reira. After the battle against Zarc, they aren't turned back into Pokemon eggs, so they help to protect Reira after she becomes a baby. Reira had a psychic link with her Pokemon, so she recognizes them even after the battle as a result.
Gongenzaka would have Pokemon that rely more on defense than attack, so I could see him with Rock and Steel types for his team. Aegislash would be a good choice since it could go into for an attack only to block opponents with its shield. Bastiodon would be a great fit too with its shield. I could see him with a Garganacl given its defensive bulk. He would still have his family dojo, but it would be more well known for Fighting types and Gongenzaka wants to show that other types of Pokemon would still fit with their family dojo.
Tsukikage would definitely have a Greninja. I thought about giving one to Reiji just to match with his scarf, but Greninja is a ninja frog. I could see him using Dark type Pokemon since that would kind of fit with his ninja theme. Weavile would be a good choice. Kingambit would be really good for him too, especially with its ability Supreme Overlord in mind. Getting stronger with each defeated Pokemon would help out as a last ditched effort in a battle against Academia.
Dennis would have a Meowscarada. I thought about putting it on Yuya's team before, but its magician themed design and attack works so perfectly with Dennis. He would still be an undercover spy for Academia, but he'd really get into Pokemon Contests like he did with Entertainment Dueling in the show proper. He would have a variety of different types on his team instead just to make more flashy combinations. Grimmsnarl could be a good fit for him. A Togekiss would be an interesting choice too since it would show that he is able to bond and connect with his Pokemon in spite of being raised at Academia. Academia wouldn't encourage mistreating Pokemon, but with using Pokemon battles to invade other regions and attack innocent people, it wouldn't be the easiest place to form a connection with them either.
Sawatari would definitely be the kind of trainer who wants to get a full Shiny team in order to  brag about it to everyone. I could see Sawatari with a Toxtricity. While it isn't the kind of performance he normally does, Toxtricity Amped Form attacking as if its strumming a guitar would still fit with Sawatari's desire to get the crowd going during his performance. A Sableye would be a good fit for him too. I could see him getting a Luxray as well. He wouldn't start out as a Pokemon Coordinator, but I think he'd eventually want to become one after battling against Yuya and would try to go for more variety in his team afterwards.

Being multigender is funny when none of the genders align with anything approximating traditional human gender roles. The most prominent female-adjacent gender is a horrible little beast woman. Butch but in a deliberately disheveled way. Thinks women should be covered in hair and dirt. And probably some leaves for good measure. If there's anything bright or shiny attached to one's person, it better be because you dug it out of a pile of refuse or pried it out of a hole in the ground.
The aesthetically pleasing gender is male and it's fancy the way male birds are fancy. I have equipped bright colors and practiced flashy moves specifically to get the attention of other queers. I will bow and offer you pretty pebbles I found by the water. No I am not a woman, I am doing this for gender reasons yes, but the gender is flamboyant man.
There is a gender whose presentation is specifically about displays of non-monetary wealth (knowledge, skill, physical prowess, etc) as well as what is most intimidating. Be afraid, be respectful, keep your hands to yourself and keep your fucking distance. If I want to engage with you I will do so directly and until then don't you dare bother me.
The remaining genders are severe pragmatic Goth™️. Gender is irrelevant beyond very specific tasks, like whether you brood eggs under your singular boob. If you don't have a boob, or you do but you're not the one brooding, be useful and go get food instead.
Obviously, if I were to explain this to anyone beyond a specific few I'd get The Look and I'd know they were going to talk shit about me behind my back the way people talk about "kinnies." As if the worst crime anyone could commit is being seen to be cringe. And if they're cis, throw a heaping pile of complaints about snowflakes and mental illness on top of that.
(I mean, I am mentally ill, but the gender thing is unrelated. Well, it's related, but in a therapeutic way rather than in a causative way. Transing your gender, or genders as it were, turns out to be very medicinal.)
So long story short I tell people I am a trans man, or at most a nonbinary trans man. Best description Ive seen for it is "password protected gender" (credit to Chaumas, I think).

Stupid Bet
Characters: Uzui Tengen x Reader (gender neutral)
Warnings: SFW, suggestive flirty Tengen, coarse language.
Synopsis: Tengen is a huge tease and makes a bet with you, who happen to find him infuriating.
Word count: 1000+
-
a/n: A little bit of ‘enemy to lovers’ vibes but really just tsundere reader that Tengen loves to tease. Also I know I promised smut, but had some less explicit fic ideas sooo (plus flirting is hot) Smut is definitely in the works though dw you thirsty mfs. Ps. This is my first fic 🥴 you have been warned.
italic sentences are the reader’s thoughts
-
“UZUI YOU PIECE OF SHIT I KNOW IT WAS YOU, NOW GIVE MY SWORD BACK SO I CAN SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS!”
You were currently chasing the sound hashira through densely wooded forest. The big bedazzled idiot decided it would be hilarious to steal your nichirin sword and replace it with a stick.
“Mmm I would, but Y/N you’re just soooo slow!” Tengen laughed. “I might just keep it since it’s pretty nice and flashy~”. He made sure to stay just a few steps ahead of you as he dodged through the tree branches with ease. Even doing a few extremely unnecessary backflips along the way.
Show off.
You chased him for a good ten minutes until you both arrived at a clearing. There was a lake behind him, you had him cornered.
“What now you flamboyant fuckboy?” You grinned, trying to hide how out of breath you were.
“Wait…you think I’m fuckable?” Tengen feigned surprise and pretended to swoon.
“That’s not what I said you dumbass.”
Even though you had him cornered, the big noisy man did not seem fazed in the slightest.
“Let’s make a bet.” Tengen suggested, a playful glint in his eyes.
You didn’t like where this was going, but let him continue while you caught your breath.
“Whoever can skip a stone the furtherest across this pretty lake here wins.” He gestured behind him. “If you win, you can have your shiny little sword back.” He grinned.
You perked up at the chance of having your beloved weapon back in your hands, but you knew this sneaky bastard well enough to know there had to be a catch.
“And if I lose?” You asked.
“If you lose…You’ll give me a kiss.” Tengen pointed to his lips, and grinned even more smugly, if that was even possible.
You pretended to gag.
“Yeah no. Fuck that you stupid playboy.”
“Mmm scared are we~? Don’t think you can beat me? The great Y/N is finally admitting defeat!” He taunted in an annoying sing-song voice.
Your left eye twitched at his childishness and your fists clenched in agitation. You knew what he was trying to do. You were not going to fall for it, but also you were tired and just wanted your sword baby back.
“Ugh FINE whatever. Not like you’ll beat me anyways. I’ll go first.” You sighed.
Tengen watched as you scurried around the lakeside looking for the flattest, most perfect skipping stone. He was definitely staring at your ass when you bent down.
You selected a lovely blue pebble, squatted down low and pulled your arm back. You took a deep breath in and hurled it as far as you can. It skipped across the pristine lake surface and you counted:
One.
Two.
Three,
Four.
Five.
Six!
Six skips! That had to be your personal best.
“Not too bad eh?” You grinned smugly at Tengen, who already had his own champion pebble picked out. Of course it was a super sparkly, rose coloured stone. How did he even find that?
“Not bad.” Tengen calmly replied.
He closed his eyes and concentrated.
He actually has really nice features when he doesn’t have that shit-eating grin… Oh fuck did I really just think that? God his self-worshipping bullshit must be rubbing off on me.
Tengen’s bulky form moved surprisingly gracefully when he pulled his arm back and threw the pebble far along the water’s surface. The stone skipped and you counted:
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Fuck.
In fact. the tiny pebble went so far that a bird on the other side of the huge lake got startled and flew off.
“There is no way you didn’t cheat.” You said, shocked.
“Uzui Tengen is no cheater.” Tengen proudly declared, grinning. “I’m a man of honour you know.”
In three big strides he closed the distance between you. His large hand gently tilted your chin up so you had to look into those intense fuchsia eyes. “Now, how about that kiss?” He purred.
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck.
He must have noticed your nervous expression, because suddenly he spun on his heels and started walking away from you with his hands clasped behind his head.
“Well if you don’t want to keep your promise I won’t force ya. I’ve won the bet anyway. You can take your sword back.”
You let go of a breath you didn’t realise you were holding. As much as you were relieved that he let you go, you knew if you chickened out here he would never let you hear the end of it.
“Wait Uzui.” You spoke up. He stopped in his tracks but still had his back to you.
“I keep my promises even if it’s a bet with a dirty cheater like you.” You huffed and looked away.
In the blink of an eye he was in front of you again, towering over you and definitely in your personal space. You could feel the heat radiating off his body. You swallowed hard.
He leaned in so close your noses almost touched. You stared defiantly into his eyes, oh they are so pretty up-close trying to hide how nervous you were.
“D-don’t get the wrong idea!” You muttered. A vain last attempt to act tough.
“Stop talking.” He breathed, eyes already half closed.
Suddenly his lips were pressed against yours. They were so plump and soft.
He‘s way too good at this.
To your surprise, the kiss was gentle and tender, nothing like the brash and noisy man you knew.
You got lost in thought as Tengen kissed you. When he realised you weren’t pulling away, he slipped his tongue past your lips. It was warm and silky, and he tasted like sweet wine and spices.
He explored your mouth and playfully rubbed his tongue against your own drawing a soft moan from you. He chuckled, a deep rumble in his chest.
Fuck.
He pulled away slowly with a sly smile and burgundy eyes twinkling with amusement.
“See, that wasn’t so bad now was it?” He grinned smugly.
Oh he knows how good he is. Narcissistic asshole.
“I have to go and wash my mouth out now.” You scoffed.
“Mm well if you change your mind, come find me in my room tonight. Also, you can call me Tengen.” He winked.
The audacity.
Before you could think of an insult, Tengen was gone.
You could still taste him on your tongue.
God fucking damn it.

Something I think about a lot in fantasy worlds with lots of different exotic races,(mostly DnD, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fantasy franchise any near as many races as DnD) is how their cultures would handle jewelry, make up, or just general self-decoration.
Like, we humans have come up with all kinds of ways to pretty ourselves up, tattoos, hair dyes, piercings, rings, etc. But all of that stuff is based on our anatomy, some of it isn’t going to work for some races. And besides, why would other races/cultures use beautification techniques solely pioneered by humans? Surely they have their own based on their own cultures and bodies! Think of the possibilities!
Like, maybe Tieflings put piercings in the fleshy bits of their tails, to glam them up with jewelry! Or maybe they drill little holes in their horns, and string ribbons or small chains through them!
Or what about the Kenku! They’ve got nice shiny beaks and talons, what if they painted little designs on them, kind of like henna? Plus, they’ve got lots of feathers, maybe they could dye them? Or if they were feeling particularly adventurous, they dye their feathers to resemble other birds, like Bluejays, or Peacocks!
Orcs are pretty humanish for the most part, but the big thing that sets them apart, (aside from, ya know, being green,) is their tusks. I feel like the Orcs would be really into decorating their tusks. Maybe they’d put little caps made of precious metal on them, or paint them in Clan colors. Heck, maybe they’d even carve little symbols or runes into them. It would probably hurt like the dickens, but somehow I can’t imagine that stopping them. Lol
Speaking of carving, Tortles! I bet they carve all kinds of stuff into their shells! Or at the very least paint them! They’ve got a big ol’ canvas right on their backs, why not use them?
Tabaxi are covered in fur, making things like tattoos pretty difficult. After all, the point of a tattoo is to pigment your skin, and unless you shave it off, fur kinda makes that tricky. So what if they tattooed their paw pads? It’s basically the only exposed skin they have, except maybe the inside of their ears, which might be a bit too sensitive to tattoo. Also, I like the idea of Tabaxi painting their claws. They’re retractable, so you can’t see them most of the time, but on the occasion that a Tabaxi does decide to relieve someone of their face, at least they’ll be doing it in style!
Ever since the Rabbitfolk/Harengon (their the same thing, don’t worry about it,) were announced I’ve been thinking about bunnies with earrings. I mean, they’ve got so much ear real estate! Why not use it? Also, I imagine that those big flippy flops get in the way when you’re moving a lot, so I bet Rabbitfolk/Harengon use something like a hair tie, or something to their ears from flying around all over the place.
Centaurs! A cross between a horse and human! You know what that means? Caparisons baby! (For the record, Caparisons are those big fancy cloths knights used put on their horses. If you’ve seen a horse wearing something like a dress or a big skirt, that’s a Caparison. At least, according to my limited horse knowledge. Lol) It’s always struck me as a little strange then Centaurs were okay running around naked from the waste down, so this my answer to that. Fancy horse dresses! Also, I like to imagine that Centaur hair grows more like a horse’s mane than human hair, so really long, and tending to fall to one or the other side of their head. So maybe some Centaur cultures are really into braiding?
Minotaur time! Maybe it’s a bit stereotypical to imagine a Minotaur with a nose ring, but honestly it just fits in my brain. Maybe it has some kind of cultural significance, like maybe it acts the same way as a wedding ring, or maybe it denotes rank in their community. Another important bit are those big lovely horns! I can imagine all kinds of decorations on those bad boys! You could go simple, and just slap a few simple rings on there, or could a little more complex and do piercings,(Does it count as a piercing if it’s a horn?) and hang a bunch of dangly stuff on em! You could paint the horns, carve designs in them, heck, you could even drill holes in both horns, and run a chord or chain connecting them! All kinds of possibilities!
Finally, let’s talk lizards, specifically Dragonborn. Honestly, I can’t imagine Dragonborn painting their scales, or even wearing too much flashy jewelry. The impression I get from Dragonborn is that they are immensely proud of their Draconic heritage, and tampering too much with their scales would probably be seen as either disrespectful, or maybe even shameful.(Because why would you want to hide your scales, the single most visible sign of your glorious draconic lineage, unless you were disgusted by them, ashamed of them?) What I CAN see them doing is trying every possible way to show off and enhance their scales. Dragonborn would definitely take meticulous care of their scales, and that includes shining them up to make shine like a dang mirror. They might even use some kind of wax, or something to protect them from damage.
My point is, with all this rigamaroll I just spouted, is self expression should not be not limited to human sensibilities. No matter what they look like, these are people, and people aren’t manufactured on a conveyer belt. Get creative with your characters looks, take things like species, background, and culture into account, have fun with it!

Hey! Could I please get some HC’s of Shigaraki, Hawks, Kurapika with a short, female S/O? Like someone who is extremely sweet and very physically affectionate. They’re not a Hunter/hero/villain, just a civilian. If they’d even fall for someone like that. 😅 You can decide if the S/O has a quirk or not.
You absolutely can! I’m choosing to make the s/o quirk less and just an average person because the details of these headcanons are up to your imagination! Plus, you don’t need a flashy talent to be loved! Hope you like them :)
__ with a short, sweet s/o
Kurapika:
This sweet boy
You two are a perfect match!! He needs someone soft!
He may be confused by your advances at first, maybe even rejecting you at one point in time because of his goals (ouch), but be patient!
PLEASE do research on Kurta recipes and bake him treats I am BEGGING YOU
Honestly he won’t tease much about your height either because he’s a respectable gentleman <3
Stepstool? Don’t know her. Kurapika is there to grab your favorite mug off the top shelf so you can have your morning coffee together.
If you’re domestic sweet, it’s perfect. He needs someone to take care of him. Seriously. He needs it. He needs someone to hold him and pet his hair to ground him. Physical affection is needed. Have I said need enough?
He’ll gladly accept your help and your love over time and return it tenfold. He loves all the hugs and kisses you offer and just melts when he sees you
Overall, it’s a perfectly sappy, sweet, soulmate relationship <3
Hawks:
This cheeky man. He will tease you so.much.
I feel like he would call you shortcake
He’ll fly up to places you can’t reach and put your stuff there so that you have no choice but to ask him to get it down.
Preening his feathers? A must. You can’t escape now.
You should definitely make nests for him out of pillows. Cuddle dates are a thing.
Seriously though he LOVES the physical affection and sometimes you catch him cooing 😳
You def bring each other shiny pebbles and if you learn to make jewelry you can make little rings and earrings that he will totally wear
If you cook/bake for him he will not hesitate to use the ‘sweeter than you’ line every time
Call him pretty bird and he’s putty in your dainty hands.
Shiggy:
He loves the height difference. It makes him feel more confident to be taller than you.
He does get anxiety about the physical affection, though.
Just go get a band-aid (he only wears hello kitty or Minecraft band-aids) and stick it on his pinkies so he can’t dust you. It’ll be fine.
You get him this really nice skincare collection and help him deal with all the dry skin that his quirk brings about in the nicest way possible. A spa day with fuzzy cat headbands.
Spa days are a weekly thing now and you have matching fuzzy robes.
Sometimes it just confuses him that he ended up with someone as kind as you so he’ll have waves of being extra affectionate.
You can sit in his lap while he’s gaming <3
He laughs at you when your feet don’t reach the floor in chairs but when you just giggle with him like the sweet pea you are he just gets all sappy and lovesick
The league has heard about every single thing you two have done together and Toga is a total fangirl

for CB: izuku and shouto see dabihawks interact 1 time and decide hawks is a nice man and dabi deserves nice things and proceed to wingman them together, except they suck. They are both very socially awk, and it really really shouldnt work. Except. BOTH dabi and hawks are fucked up so it WORKS. Bonus points if they decide they need to make dabi do flashy dances for hawks thinking it will appeal to his bird side and it working.
Izuku does research that’s one part old Cosmo articles and one part bird documentaries.  He keeps trying to convince Dabi to dance or build shit or give Hawks pretty rocks.
"I choose violence and Izuku daily”!Shoto is like “Tell him your tragic backstory and then set something or yourself on fire and swear your eternal devotion to him right then and there, it worked for me”
Meanwhile Hawks is like “he’s so open and honest and he gives me shiny stuff?? He killed it at DDR??  And his quirk control??? I am S H O O K??”
And Dabi’s like “Adult Money Chicken Strips and those shoulders might be my new reasons to live??”

thanks for the amazingly edited chapters and translations, i'm always elated when i see that a chapter has dropped on your twitter and i have a lot of fun trying to rap the lyrics out loud. on a lighter note, if the characters in hypnosis mic were animals, which ones do you think they would be? (don't feel confined to the rules of basic biology, siblings can be different animals and so can parents, also multiple characters can be the same animal if you so please)
Ahhh that's a really kind thing to say haha. Now I'll need to put extra effort into the raps... some of them are very much rappable, and some of them I look at later and go, "Wtf? How in the world did that come out of my mouth?"
Hmm... this is a very interesting question... I haven't thought about it much before, but let me give it a shot. Under a cut for length.
Ichirou - Ichirou seems pretty dog-like to me. He’s very oriented around the concept of family and would do anything to protect them. He’s also happiest when playing around with his family, loves food, and is happy performing services for other people.
Jirou - I think Jirou would make a good dolphin. He’s playful and athletic, very empathetic, and does best when surrounded by friends and family.
Saburou - Saburou is, I think, a young horse. He likes to show off and is very talented and flashy, but he can be a little skittish or fragile deep down.
Samatoki - Samatoki reminds me of a crocodile. He’s quick to lash out and very aggressive, but he can also be plenty social and quite friendly when he’s in a good mood.
Juuto - Juuto is a swan. He looks elegant on the surface but can be mean to make ends meet. He also becomes very aggressive whenever anything near and dear to him is threatened.
Riou - Riou is a capybara. He's pretty chill when left to his own devices, and he is incredibly social, capable of getting along with just about anyone.
Ramuda - Ramuda is a sun conure. I like using the caged bird image a lot for Ramuda - thanks, parrot outfit, for giving me a canon justification for this - and so I think a parakeet fits him well, especially the younger Ramuda. He's very inquisitive and likes mimicking human behavior in addition to showing off and being cuddly. He enjoys being around people and can end up depressed when left on his own. He's also loud and obnoxious but perhaps in a good way.
Gentarou - Gentarou's a chinchilla. He's very fastidious with how he presents himself, and he relies on his social groups for his own mental health.
Dice - Dice is a cattle tyrant, because he goes after thrills the way these birds make quick maneuvers in the air to go after insects. Plus, he often hangs around capy Riou to be fed, who enjoys his company.
Jakurai - My friend Cha suggested Jakurai would be an elephant. Besides the size, he also moves slowly and deliberately, is very intelligent and empathetic, and strongly cares for community and taking care of children.
Hifumi - Hifumi is a bowerbird. He can look flashy and delights in showing off for women, but he also takes pride and joy in building and maintaining a good home.
Doppo - He reminds me of a periodical cicada that spends much of its life underground, going about the serious task of feeding, then rarely emerges all at once to make a glorious display of sound.
Sasara - Sasara is a chimpanzee. He's clever, creative, and often playful, but he also boasts a more aggressive side. I think chimps also like melon if they can get it... melon soda...
Roshou - Roshou is an emperor penguin. He looks elegant from a distance but may be a little silly up close. He's very concerned about raising children right in a group environment and is perhaps rather more loyal than he should be.
Rei - Rei is a crow capable of making clever plots and creating complex tools to help him out. He likes horsing around and mocking other people in addition to collecting shiny bling like that gold necklace.
Kuukou - I think he would be a mongoose. He's a little guy, very fierce, and completely unafraid to take on even the most fearsome guys out there. He has a lot of courage and a heart of gold.
Juushi - Juushi would be an owl butterfly or another butterfly or moth with eyespots on his wings. Metamorphosis is a big theme for him, and he uses his flashy outer appearance as a means to confuse and throw off those who would hurt him.
Hitoya - Hitoya is a honey badger. He's tough and can fight to protect the ones he cares about. He also doesn't take shit from anybody and can be a little prickly at times, but his tenacity is what people admire about him.

So I feel bad cuz I’m pretty bad at actually drawing my ideas and uploading them... I have a bunch of doodles and concepts on my ipad that I haven’t finished yet 😅. Pokemon teams, superhero AU, some angst etc. (I have a lot of notes and stuff but comparatively few drawings).
So I decided to just upload some wing designs I have for the boys since I’ve seen some Wingfic stuff going around again! (The writing in-between is just a small info dump on which birds inspired me/what I based their wings on for anyone who is curious! So feel free to skip it or guess the birds before reading (it’s always two bird species per Link btw.)).
Tumblr media
(I’m begging, pls ignore the akward standing pose I used for all of them. And the face markings! They look weird...)
I based Sky’s wings on a golden pheasant, and a red macaw. Felt fitting to give him red wings! And I couldn’t miss up the opportunity to add some master sword coloration with the purple and blue hues.
Tumblr media
Four is obviously based on a hummingbird (long-tailed sylph to be more specific!), but the second bird I used as inspiration was the quetzal. It added the red underside and the long green feathers that would trail after Four (they would also be a bit longer than they are here).
Both him and Sky (and the hylians in their worlds) are very colourful compared to the others, because the bright feathers wouldn’t attract danger in their eras (the monsters were sealed away (Four) or couldn’t reach them above the clouds (Sky).
Tumblr media
Time’s wing structure is based on owls, so he is also the most silent during flight! I wanted his wings to be gold-ish in colour so I based him on a barn owl, but I also wanted something more dangerous for him (barn owls are surprisingly small). So I added some golden eagle into the mix.
(His wings are also the most plain(?) I guess, since I had trouble imagining him with something more decorative/complicated)
I’d imagine when he turns into the feirce deity the wings grow in size and turn snow-white (like a snow owl, maybe with reflective silver instead of black markings?). Maybe grow some white peacock feathers for the tail too, he can afford to be flashy XD.
Tumblr media
Twilight has the biggest wingspan of them all. I based him on a bearded vulture (they have the 6th biggest wingspan of all birds! Well, according to one lazy google search at least...), since I thought it fitting that he is a bird with a lot of negative stigma attached (like with his wolf transformation, vultures are rarely -if ever- considered good). They also eat bones, which also matches! And yes, their eyes are red which looks pretty damn cool.
The second bird that inspired me was the turquoise browed motmot (long tail feathers), but I’m still fighting with myself about whether I should make the feathers on the outside turquoise or not... either way I really like the sunset colours :)
Tumblr media
For Wild I chose an osprey, I wanted a bird that mostly ate fish and lived near bodies of water because of Mipha.
...admittedly that reasoning made more sense in my head.
However! I was also inspired by magpies. Wild will absolutely pick up and keep any shiny object that he finds! Hurray for scavengers!
Tumblr media
Eagle-ish wings! I based him on the secretary bird, it seemed extra enough for him. Though I just really like the look of those birds (really pretty!). Mixed with some major mitchell’s cockatoo for the beautiful fade from pink/light red to white.
(I’d imagine he’s low-key jealous of Sky and Four because their wings are so colourful.)
Tumblr media
Again, like with Four, I went with the obvious choice; a seagull. Though I also sprinkled in some bluejay for the beautiful feather coloration.
Wind really likes how closely his wings match those from Warrior (since he looks up to him) both their wings have a softly fading colour on the inside and feathers darkening in layers on their backs. He just thinks it’s neat.
Tumblr media
The first bird I looked at for Legend was the southern carmine bee eater, it has a pink-ish body and a blue/green crown of feathers on it’s head. I mean, that just screamed Legend to me.
The second bird I chose was the peregrine falcon, the fastest bird in the sky! After all, Legend is the only one of the chain to always wears his pegasus boots.
Tumblr media
One of my personal favourite wing designs! Hyrule was mostly inspired by a starling, I wanted him to appear more... magical? And the white spots remind me of stars (well, it’s a starling). The inside of his wings is very loosely based on the great grey shrike, a slightly brutal bird, which fits well with the consensus that he lives in the grittiest Hyrule.
(They impale their live prey on on thorns for anyone who is curious.)
———
If any of them look kinda strange, it’s probably because I tried to make them all look unique. With the exception of Twilight. I wanted him to look slightly similar to both Wild and Time (main reason why I am contemplating adding some blue-ish colour). Brown and yellow/gold from time, and that dark border on the edge of his primary feathers was inspired by Wild (like Twi he is also mainly brown).
I also actively avoided making their wings green because most of them already wear green tunics, and that’s just too much.
