A Zutara fic idea I probably will never write:
An AU where Zuko becomes the Fire Lord by killing his father (idk what to do about Azula?) after finding out that his mother was in fact dead (trauma lol) at his father’s command.
So it’s a Zuko that’s a lot more cold, a little more cunning/calculating— but here’s kind of why I wouldn’t write this in to a full fledged fic, I want to tie this Zuko with canon!Zuko somehow.
He’ll get flashes of canon!Zuko’s life— will see moments in between fitful hours at night, will see a red sky and hear his sister’s blood curdling screams— he’ll feel the shadow’s of a wound to a chest he doesn’t have and the warmth of someone’s thumb caressing his lips.
It’s maddening, but it affects his rule in a beneficial way? Like he doesn’t stop the war, he doesn’t have the proper backing (I don’t know enough about politics in a monarchy) but he does pause it. His council calls him the Fire Lord without honor (due to him keeping his hair shaven) but the people are grateful, and see things differently.
(He’s buff btw, like not Iroh busting out of prison buff but close— he also gets a tattoo in the center of his chest, but with the design as a center point to his other tattoos. He has a fair amount of them…)
Enter what makes this a Zutara idea 👉🏼
Katara is wary of the pause in the war— one could say she was even downright suspicious of the new Fire Lord and waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It drops when a ship docks itself on their small community, a letter and a sneer on hand; an invitation to the Fire Nation.
Blah blah blah, a certain amount of details later— Katara’s in the Fire Nation, in the Fire Lords home and it’s a complete mistake when on her first night there away from her family and her home she encounters an intruder (it’s Zuko btw) in a mask of a legend and bleeding profusely on her temporary floor.
That’s about as far as I got before I was like, yeah I’m probably not fleshing this out.

I didn't see the T block at first so I thought Disney just spelled out "PAIN" on the side of their Christmas parade toyland float.

Santa Baby
Pairing: Loki x F!reader
Summary: Think of all the fun I've missed/ Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed/ I really do believe in you/ Let's see if you believe in me.
Warnings: Smut. Degradation, dirty talk, loss of virginity (reader's), dom!Loki, oral sex (f!receiving), breeding kink, unprotected sex, ever so slight Jotun!Loki. Loki hasn't had his redemption arc yet
Okay, so, I really have no excuses for this one. It's borderline crackfic but I did my best lol
Tumblr media
"Nicholas!"
"Odin!"
You stand shoulder to shoulder with your brother as you watch your father embrace the Allfather. For as long as you can remember, this has been your family's Christmas tradition. After your father finishes delivering gifts all across the nine realms on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day is spent on Asgard with the royal family. You aren't sure why it's a tradition- the elves say it's because Odin was the one to gift your father his powers, to create Santa Claus as the worlds know him- but you've learned over the years it's best not to argue about it.
(There was one year you wanted to spend Christmas at home in the North Pole like a normal family... and your mom fainted from the shock. The elves wouldn't talk to you for a month (which wasn't all that disappointing if you were to be honest). So you considered that lesson learned and never brought it up ever again.)
You watch as your mother greets Frigga next, the two of them looking like the epitome of the Mother archetype. Frigga with her regal air and your mother with her kind smile. You can't imagine ever having to step into their roles and you feel relieved you'll never have to. Your brother is set to be the next Santa and his wife will be Mrs. Claus. Odin's throne will go to Thor and his wife we'll be Queen of Asgard.
All you have to be is yourself.
Free to make your own rules.
To forge your own path.
To-
"Hello, little one." Loki smiles at you fondly and steps towards you. His hands are bound in front of him and the chains draped over his body rattle with each movement.
You tilt your head, observing him closely. "Loki. I knew you were on my dad's Naughty list for the whole New York thing, so I guess it makes sense you ended up on Odin's list too."
His smile morphs into a nasty sneer as he bares his teeth at you. A guard yanks on the chain around his neck, pulling him an appropriate distance from you.
"Must we do this today," Frigga whispers to her husband. "It's the last day of Yule. Let Loki have an hour of freedom."
"And what will that hour cost us," Odin counters.
Your father raises his hand. "If I may? The kids have been working on their magic and sugar plum over here has a real talent for it. I'm sure she could keep Loki in line for an hour."
Loki's eyes burn a hole into the side of your skull as he says, "Yes. The Santa baby can watch me."
"For an hour," you add, turning to your dad. You point a finger at the jolly old man. "And only an hour."
Odin strokes his beard thoughtfully, considering every possible outcome of letting Loki free for a bit. Eventually, he bangs his staff against the shimmering golden floor and Loki's chains fall away. Loki, for his part, makes an effort not to appear too eager. He rubs his wrists and rolls his neck before squaring his shoulders and turning to you.
"I'm at your mercy for the next hour, sugar plum."
And the way he says it so seductively has you reaching the realization that maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.
You fidget uncomfortably, balling the ends of your long sleeves in your hands. Loki watches your twitchy movements silently. That's how he's always watched you. Ever since that first meeting when you were nothing more than a child coming to terms with her father being the Santa Claus. He's always watched you silently, thoughtfully, like he's waiting for you to decide who you'll be... and maybe, just maybe, if there will be a place for him beside you when you do decide who to be.
"I'm already regretting this," you say out loud to no one really.
No one is paying attention anymore anyway.
No one except Loki who places a hand at the small of your back and gestures in front of you with the other. "Come, we both know you're foaming at the mouth to get to the garden."
You can't help the eyeroll his words induce. "How eloquent."
"Thank you."
"I wasn't complimenting you."
Loki purses his lips, fighting back a grin. "No, you would never do that, would you?"
"Just shut up and follow me."
He pretends to zip his mouth shut and throw away the key, earning an aggravated groan from you.
If you were to be honest, you don't find Loki's presence all that objectionable. Sure, his ego is out of hand, he tried to take over your home planet, he can be a real pain in the ass, sassy, confrontational, a know it all... wait, what was your point again? Oh, right! Loki has many, many, many faults, but he's always been kind to you. Deep down you know his affection for you doesn't truly account for the monstrosities he's committed, but it does make him ten percent less Naughty in your eyes.
"When will you tell Jolly Old Saint Nicholas that I've been the one helping you with your magic, sugar plum."
Okay. Five percent less Naughty.
"Never," you say without looking at him. Instead you fix your eyes on the garden up ahead.
He clicks his tongue. "How absolutely Naughty of you. I approve."
Two percent.
"I don't need your approval. And stop calling me sugar plum!"
Loki stops walking abruptly, forcing you to turn around and meet him face to face. Or face to chest rather. He's taller than you by several inches and his broad figure almost blocks out the steadily rising sun. Hues of pink, orange, and purple burst from behind him in pastel streaks of color. The wind is soft and gentle as it wraps around the two of you, pressing your bodies ever closer. If you could paint you think you would paint him just as he is now, all soft edges and gentle eyes.
He shakes his head. "You don't need it, but you want it. You crave it, don't you, my darling?"
You think you prefer him calling you sugar plum. That feels far less intimate than hearing the words my darling come out of his mouth.
"I don't want anything from you," you say full of false bravado.
"Oh?" Loki pulls you in to his body and tilts your chin up with his thumb and forefinger. "Not even my cock? I think if I were to bend you over this balcony and fuck that tight little cunt of yours, you'd thank me by the end of it. Wouldn't you, sugar plum?"
You swallow the lump in your throat and will away the rising heat in the pit of your stomach. "I said stop calling me that, Loki."
"Then what would you prefer, hmm?" His lips are centimeters from yours, teasing you by brushing against you ever so lightly as he speaks. "You positively lit up when I called you my darling. How does my queen sound? Better yet, how about my whore?"
"Stop."
"Did you make it to the Nice list this year? No sneaking around and kissing boys behind my back?"
You grit your teeth, embarrassment washing over you with the realization that you actually enjoy having him talk to you like this. "Stop. I know what you're trying to do."
"And what would that be?"
"You want me to give up on you like everyone else. There's a past between us whether we like it or not and you want me to just... forget it. Let it go. Everyone else already believes you're a monster and you can't stand that there's one person in the world who still believes you can be good."
Silence stretches out between the two of you like a snake sunbathing on a rock. It's an almost tangible sensation. All you can hear is the air rushing through your lungs as Loki's chest rises and falls at an alarming rate.
"Is this the part where we hug and I thank you for always believing in me? Because... no, I don't think I'll do that," Loki finally says after a few painful seconds.
You huff in frustration, spinning on your heel to go back inside and forget the whole deal. You'll lock yourself in a guest room with some delicious Asgardian mead and that'll be that. This whole sexual tension thing with a man you shouldn't want in the first place will disappear along with the alcohol.
Before you can take a step forward and put you're new Christmas Day plan into motion, Loki grabs you by the arm and pulls you back. His chest presses into your back, a warm and solid wall of muscle.
"Where do you think you're running off to, sugar plum?" He bends down and whispers the words in your ear, his lips ghosting over your skin and leaving goosebumps all over your body.
"Your hour's up."
"I've still got forty five minutes."
"Yeah, well... I'm finished with this."
Loki slips an arm around your waist, grinding his hardened length into your ass. "You're through when I say you're through, and right now I want you down on your knees worshipping."
"But... we're outside..."
The protest dies on your lips as green sparks emanate from Loki's fingertips, circling the two of you before sinking back into his palm.
"There," he says simply. "Problem solved. Now if anyone were to walk by they would simply see us admiring the flowers. Now, on your knees."
You let him push you down on your knees, his long fingers curling in your hair. Through the tight leather of his trousers you can make out the imprint of his cock. You won't be able to take all of him in your mouth. There's just no way. You're willing to try though, you think to yourself as you look up into the familiar green-blue of his eyes.
He helps you undo his pants, picking up the slack when your nervous fingers tremble while untying the laces. He's eerily patient and allows you to take your time. Build your courage as it were. You want this. You know you do. You're just... nervous.
The realization strikes Loki suddenly. "You're a virgin?"
The accusation- however true- doesn't sit right in your chest. "Do you want me to do this or not?"
Loki's eyes shine bright with absolute glee. "You are!"
"Loki-"
The world swirls and warps around you, the oxygen leaving your lungs in a sudden woosh. You suddenly find yourself in your usual guest chambers. Still on your knees. Still out of breath.
"Much better!" Loki sighs happily before making himself comfortable on the large bed. "Actually, one more thing."
A fire roars to life in the hearth and the bright gold decorations littering the room turn a deep shade of emerald.
"Lest you forget who you're with," he explains simply.
"I couldn't if I tried." You look at Loki out of the corner of your eye as he lounges on the bed. His pants are undone, exposing the deep V of his pelvic muscles and a light dusting of hair. He looks at you so intently you feel like you might explode. "What?"
Loki motions for you to come closer. "I want you to come on my face, sugar plum."
You swear your body just gives out as soon as you hear the words. "W-what?"
He growls and sits straight up. "You are going to walk that pretty little arse over here, and then your are going to straddle my face, so I can lick your cunt until you come."
It takes everything in you to do exactly as he says. You aren't completely inexperienced and you aren't a complete idiot either. You know what the fire in your belly and the slickness between your thighs means. You want Loki, wanted him for years. Never in your wildest dreams did you think he actually wanted you too.
It's a Christmas miracle in your opinion.
When you make it to the edge of the bed Loki tuts at you, toying with the hem of your dress. "I meant to comment earlier, but this is the most horrid thing I've ever seen."
Your brow furrows. "Hey! Sprinkle made this for me!"
"Sprinkle." The way Loki says the elf's name almost sounds like a curse.
"You've met him before. Back a few- oof!"
Loki rips the dress to tatters in the blink of an eye. You want to hit him, curse him, something, but he moves too quickly. Instead you make a mental note to apologize to Sprinkle when you get home, and let Loki manipulate your body so that your kneeling over his face. His breath on your core sends a shiver through your body.
"Loki," you whine, gripping at his hair.
"Good girl," he moans out as you tug on the long, dark strands. "Let's see if you taste as sweet as you look."
His tongue laves at your folds, teasing you. It's strange but nice and exhilarating all at once. Your hips buck involuntarily when he finally slips his tongue inside you and he sighs happily against your skin.
"Fuck, yes," Loki groans.
You whimper pathetically.
"I need inside you. Now," he says against your soaked cunt. "I need you, darling."
All you can do is nod. Your bones feel like jelly, but you want more. You want him. You want him inside you. You want him to come inside you. You want it so badly you can almost imagine a future filled with children who have your hair and his eyes.
When he looks up at you there's a split second where you think he sees that future too.
Loki ends the moment quickly though, telling you to get on your back. He positions his cock at your entrance and you have a momentary lapse in confidence. You don't want him to stop, but he's bigger than you could've guessed, and-
"Relax." Loki presses his mouth to yours, nipping at your bottom lip. "You were made to take this cock."
You nod and angle your hips up so his tip slips inside you. Your unused muscles twitch against the intrusion, making Loki hiss out something in Old Norse. One of his hands wraps around your throat while the other pins your hips against the bed. Using this leverage he pushes his entire length inside you, swallowing your screams with his lips. Loki pumps in and out of you slowly, watching your face for signs of discomfort.
"M-more," you sigh. "Harder... more... please..."
His breath hitches. "Are you sure, my darling?"
"Yes!"
"Very well." Loki's hips snap, shoving himself even deeper inside you.
Your hands fly to grip his biceps. His skin is colder. Colder than you've ever felt it. And there's a slight blue tinge.
"Loki, fuck... oh my god..."
His hand not wrapped around your throat slaps across your cheek. "My king. Say it. Say I'm your king."
You manage a tiny nod. "You're... you're my king..."
Loki's grip tightens and his pace quickens. You can feel his thick cock sliding in and out of you, stretching you around him, forcing his way deep inside you.
"L-Loki..." You let out a short whine. "Come inside me. Please. I need it. Please, please..."
He chuckles darkly. "How pathetic. You're begging like a common whore. Is that what you are, darling? Are you my whore?"
"Y-yes."
"Yes what?"
"Yes, my king."
Loki, seemingly satisfied by your answer, lifts your leg over his shoulder and shoves his way deeper inside you. There's a painful burn as you adjust to the new angle and pace, but the look of ecstasy on Loki's face is enough to send you over the edge again. You come on his cock once more, but this time he comes with you, filling you until it leaks out.
You aren't sure when you closed your eyes, but when you open them Loki is looking at you with a strange expression.
"My hour is up," is all he says.

here have this garbage brain rot i wrote because i’m lonely
not proofread, not really thought through, just bakugo cuddle hours
.
.
“HEY!”
“What.” you reply, clearly annoyed. You sit up in bed and yawn, squinting at your phone to see who called you. “Denks, you know it’s like four in the morning and I have a midterm tomorrow right? What could possibly be so important that you’re risking my A in economics?”
Kaminari giggles over the line and you can practically see his flushed face, swaying and drunk at whatever party he’s at. “Well fuck you too.” He giggles and ends the call.
For a brief moment, you consider laying back down and going back to sleep before groaning and calling him back.
“Yeeeees?” Denki replies and you can hear the amused grin on his face as well as the booming music in the background.
“What, what do you need? A ride? Some food? Spit it out.” Normally you wouldn’t cop an attitude with him but considering the circumstances, you feel perfectly justified to as you slide out of bed to put on shoes.
“Kacchan got too drunk and Ei wanted me to call you cuz he said I’m a-“ you hear grappling before Kirishima’s voice speaks. “Sorry, he got away from me for a second. I was about to call you: Bakubro is drunk and needs a ride home. I would be able to give him one but I think Sparky is going to be a handful tonight.” He states, after which you hear an offended “heyyy!” from Denki in the back.
“Yeah of course, just send me the address and I’ll be there in five. But you owe me a coffee in the morning as a thank you before my midterm.”
You pull up in front of the house, hearing the music and the people from a block away. You spot Kirishima, Denki, and Bakugo standing on the lawn, the two latter using Kiri as support to stand. With Kirishima waving, Katsuki walks (stumbles) over to your car, leaning down to peer through the passenger side window.
“Hey princess.” He slurs with that signature smirk of his.
“Get in, dumbass.” You reach across the seat to push open the door and he stumbles before clumsily getting in.
The two of you had been in the same friend group for years, even before college, so you didn’t mind seeing him at his least inhibited and vice versa. The person you were a few years ago would be humiliated to be seen in pajamas with messy hair, literally fresh out of bed, but she had long since disappeared. The fact that you had a crush on Katsuki is old news. You’d told him your feelings and were rejected. It was rough for a while but you found your way back together as friends.
“Give me the aux.” Bakugo snaps you out of your thoughts.
“Absolutely not. Last time I let you pick music while you were drunk we listened to We Are The Champions by Queen on repeat for the rest of the night.”
“You suck.”
“You swallow.” You quip back with a smile.
Your friendship had become much closer than it had been before your confession, and part of you is grateful for that, but some deeply repressed part of your mind still dreams about life with him. All broad shoulders, tan skin, freckles along his pretty face and shoulders. If you didn’t know better, you’d say he was mistakenly sent to Earth instead of heaven. Fortunately, you know all the nuances that make him, him. How he gets smiley and cocky most while drunk, how he still gets the steps to the macarena mixed up, how he refuses to admit that he likes his hair messed with but gets goosebumps every time you play with it, and how he sprawls out while spending time with those he cares about so that he can be touching his friends as much as possible. His tall, muscular frame and semi-permanent scowl implies that he is a different person than who he is while with you and the group.
“Are we going home?” He asks, words slurring together.
“We aren’t going to the North Pole.”
“Can I stay at yours tonight? You always take good care of meee.” He says, playing with the air conditioning.
“You can if you don’t play with the AC.” You reply, smiling as you grab his hand to put it back in his lap.
After a battle to drag Katsuki up the stairs, he’s finally face down on your sofa. You grab your hangover kit for him for when he wakes up, but as you go to set it down on the coffee table, he grips your wrist.
“Wanna stay with you tonight. Pleeeeeeeease?” He asks, vermillion eyes peering up at you from under the mop of blond hair.
“With me?”
He rolls over onto his back, his cheeks still flushed and appearance still a little rumpled after the party. “Your bed is cozier.”
“Only if you promise not to puke.”
A drunken “mhm” is murmured as he gets up, swaying slightly as he makes his way to your bedroom.
You make sure he’s cleaned up and has taken the appropriate medicine to ease his pain in the morning before letting him climb into the other side of your bed.
“Comfy?” You ask from the bathroom, brushing your teeth in the mirror.
“Mmmmmm.” Katsuki utters, his face buried in your pillow. He moves his head to the side to see you as you make your way to the bed. “Thanks.”
“Anytime.” You reply, sliding into bed, instinctually scooting into his arms as you had during shared naps so many times before.
“You’re pretty.” He mumbles into your hair.
You let out an abrupt laugh, caught off guard. “You’re drunk.” You know that you weren’t dolled up, that you’d rolled out of bed, literally, before seeing him.
“Nuh uh,” Katsuki insists, leaning up over you on one arm. “You’re pretty.”
“Kats, you’re drunk. Lay back down and let’s sleep off that hangover of yours, okay?”
Pouting, he lets himself back down and pulls you tight to him. He gets a flush to his cheeks when drunk, but thankfully that means that you can’t tell when he’s blushing from being around you as well.

eah mothers day #21
- The Evil Queen makes the biggest deal out of mothers day because “she’s such a good mom for encouraging her daughter to be evil” and is really offended when Raven doesn’t want to pursue world domination to celebrate with her mom
- Snow White is such a narcissist on mothers day you would not believe it. She throws this big elaborate party for herself with all of her royal friends and boasts by saying that Apple planned it all when in reality Apple just wanted to go on a nice lunch date with her mom
- Sleeping Beauty sleeps through the whole thing. She had eight kids. Girl is exhausted and could not care less about celebrating motherhood
- Red Riding Hood is actually really excited about mothers day! It’s not often she can acknowledge being Ramona’s mom and Cerise’s, so she has a nice forest picnic with them and couldn’t be more happy knowing that she has two wonderful daughters to call her own
- Cinderella, due to her declining health, is on bedrest most days. So Ashlynn sits with her the whole day, reading to her, singing to her, and trying to put her mind at ease a bit
- The Cheshire Cat has a prank war with her daughter, because how else is the greatest trickster in all of Wonderland supposed to celebrate such a marvelous day?
- The Queen of Hearts has a tea party and demands lots of presents, but has a quiet dinner with Lizzie after the lavish celebrations
- The Snow Queen has a hockey tounrament with her family in the North Pole, and has a mini vacation to the beach with them later in the week
- Alice isn’t there for mothers day, she’s out on an adventure and loses track of time worse than the White Rabbit, so Alistair spends the day looking through old photo albums and reading old letters from her
- Madame Thorn (The Dark Faerie) spends the day with Faybelle in their home, reading up on curses and dark magic, the perfect way for them to spend time together

stuff about the taz atla au:
Taako and Lup are the last surviving air nomads (and by extension, elves). Lup is the Avatar. I established Taako as an airbender but I think it could go either way; if he's a nonbender, he's still got the high-dex rogue-y vibes of an airbender for any fighting.
Barry is a waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe, and the one who finds the twins. He's extremely unnaturally gifted at bloodbending, but shit at most other waterbending until they find a master. (He can bloodbend when it's not the full moon, but usually only to shift someone's balance, shove a limb, etc. Can be very handy when used right, though!)
Lup's hardest element is water. She has the instinct to directly blast stuff, which pushes against the give-and-take nature of waterbending. Once she gets it she likes making huge, scary, ocean-like waves. She's progressively faster at learning earthbending and, of course, firebending comes easiest & becomes a favorite.
Lucretia is also water tribe, probably in the North, though I would love for her to be friends with Barry somehow. She may not be a bender, but she's for sure attuned to spirits, especially the moon. Possibly the whole North Pole spirit imbalance is because of some well-intentioned thing she does while they're trying to repel the fire nation.
Prince Kravitz is trying to capture the Avatar but the Avatar's brother keeps flirting with him and it's very confusing. I don't know if I want to make the Raven Queen be the Firelord but if she's anyone she might be Ursa.
Kravitz is accompanied by Davenport (tell me captain "haven't we earned a little wrath" davenport isn't a firebender), a family member or close advisor who has been secretly a traitor/spy for like a decade. He's mostly coming along to keep his own eye on the Avatar and make sure she doesn't get captured or killed. White Lotus member.
Merle is a swamp waterbender with plantbending and, to everyone's shock in a dire moment, healing powers. He was a good friend of Lup's 100 years ago. Also White Lotus.
Magnus is an earthbender, Julia is a Kyoshi warrior. "Why isn't Magnus the token nonbender" well you see this whole thing is an elaborate AU of that one stretch of SC where Taako learned fighting and Magnus learned wizarding (joke)
Magnus is desperate to interact with spirits but is not attuned to them at all. He's excited to meet Lup because she is obviously the bridge to him getting to pet spirit dogs. Might have a pet dog or bear fusion variant.

WOMEN OF SILVER BULLETS
the OCs of B-17, Silver Bullets (featured in MOTA-verse writings) and various masters of the air adjacent writings
all these OCs will be featured in various one-shots and prompts in the coming months. can be found under tags with all their names or #mota writings or #silver bullets. please enjoy!
ANNIE BRADSHAW
-> replacement 1st lieutenant and pilot for Silver Bullets, fresh in from Fort Des Moines, trying to patch up the holes in a crew suffering from the loss of their beloved captain birdie faulkner. hailing from mankato, minnesota, she is a wonderfully receptive listener and stoic presence - but don't go overstepping it with her crew. makes it her very mission that the women of Silver Bullets and captain birdie faulkner are remembered. can play a tune on a trumpet (if warranted).
Tumblr media
FRANCIS MONTEZ
-> copilot of Silver Bullets grieving a loss she is taking harder than she thought, wrapped in sorrow and guilt that she tries her best to hide. a good-hearted californian, she wrangles with this new era of her life with the help of replacement pilot, annie bradshaw, and steps up in more ways than one. carries a cigarette pack around like it's strapped to her very being. will give you a nickname that she'll call you any chance she gets.
Tumblr media
BESSIE CARLISLE
-> navigator for Silver Bullets, with the brightest smile the sun's ever seen from the skies (says her boyfriend). hailed all the way from queens, new york with the intention to get her hands working on the mechanic floor of a factory and got a gig flying planes instead. got placed in navigation one day and ever since then, has made it her duty to make sure every mission goes right down to the degree.
Tumblr media
CARRIE ACHTERBERG
-> german-american bombardier on Silver Bullets making sure the enemy pays in any way they can for the costly damage of a horrid war (enter: norden bombsight). grew up in brooklyn, new york, had some run-ins with bessie carlisle and the two became thick as thieves when working on planes. blowing the enemy to shreds seemed to be the cherry on top.
Tumblr media
MARJORIE ‘MARGIE’ HARLOWE
-> flight engineer on Silver Bullets who grew up in a large family with at least four dogs all named after flowers, on the shores of lake michigan, wanting to go to school for physics ever since she felt herself get the knack for mathematics. only up until then, did she find herself on a plane with her cousin (who nearly crashed it) that she then got herself in line for flying in B-17s and looking to the skies above (and calculating vectors from the ground).
Tumblr media
PAULINA STAGLIANO
-> italian-american radio operator for Silver Bullets, who came in from philadelphia, pennsylvania with radio operator experience in the WAC before getting the call for a job with captain birdie faulkner, and finding herself up in B-17s on the regular. she's passionate, a loyal friend and if you talk bad about the phillies -it's on sight (usually has sports arguments with kennedy farley - they keep bickering to a minimum).
Tumblr media
VIVIAN RATCLIFF
-> hailing from fort collins, colorado, viv ratcliff comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience as a gunner on Silver Bullets, with a father who was in the army and her boyfriend in the navy. 'calm, cool, collected' are the best words to take her in as, usually found collecting flowers after missions for the boys who didn't get a chance to make it home. keeps a tally of german fighters that go down on the wooden pole beside her cot.

Kinda random, but what made me really start shipping Kataang was how determined Aang was to get Katara's necklace back from Zuko, especially when we know how important said necklace is for her both as part of her family and part of her culture. And the thing is, Aang is always doing nice things for Katara without expecting any reward, like offering to fly her to the North Pole and refusing to train under sexist Pakku. Things that made me go from "this is a cute ship with good development" to "this is my OTP."💙🧡
So true, anon that’s a great scene!! Hmm I don’t know what made me ship it cuz I was 5 when I watched it for the first time so I really didn’t care about ships. But as I got older I started watching the show for Katara and she kept touching him and asking him how she looked dhdjfj it was beyond obvious TO ME (bass amplified).
That and every time she cried over him. It just felt really intense I’d be like why are you crying queen 😫😫😫 she’s so extra I can’t.
But I think a singular scene that really made me ship them was in The Serpent’s Pass when he said she made him believe in hope and she cried. When I think about it, Aang’s opinion seems to mean a lot to Katara and I think he notices that and makes sure to praise her so she won’t doubt herself. I liked seeing the fmc be praised and loved by the boy she liked without having to grovel and look pathetic, you know?
That reminds me of a meta I read the other day about how Sokka (yes I have to mention sokka or katara when I talk about the other 🤪) doesn’t really take compliments and I think Katara is also like that in a less extreme way.
Like when she tried to discredit herself when she revived him with the spirit water and Aang was like hello you literally saved my life??? dhdjdj I don’t care what delusional fanon shippers have to say, Aang compliments and appreciates Katara more than anyone, and that’s my fave part of their dynamic.
Anyways yes I agree with you. Aang always does what Katara wants simply because he wants to and she wants to. They don’t really force the other to agree with them either, even tho they both clearly care a lot for each other’s opinions. I think the show does a great job of setting the foundation for their romantic relationship this way through all these platonic moments.
Back to my fave scene in the Serpent’s Pass, I especially like how that scene shows Aang letting go of one of his beliefs for Katara which is linked to bigger moment of him refusing to let go of her to master the avatar state in the Guru, and eventually finding a whole new way to end the war while still staying true to himself. I don’t wanna say Aang and Katara getting together is integral to his arc or her arc, but I do think they link it in this way on purpose, and it’s why a lot of people that claim “Aang never changed” often don’t ship Kataang and the same for people that hate Katara and call her annoying then say they didn’t understand the ship. Like clearly my guy.
Anyway, to sum up this ramble 🤭 this is why I love the Serpent’s Pass scene and think it’s very underrated among kataang fans. I’m curious to know what kataang scene made oomfs ship too? I loved this ask and thank you for sharing that with me anon xx

riddle Rosehearts with a mitsuri kanroji s/o
Him learning that they staved themselves because eating that much as a woman is not normally (witch is not okay ) and she used to dyed her hair to be normal because she is looking for a husband.
Then she gets taken to twisted wonderland and meting him him faking out becous of her uniform.
Him learning about her inhuman strength du her having 8 time the mussels mass unlike normal humans and her having to eat so much to maintain it. Them eating sweets together on dates him trying💮 sakura mochi 🌸
Him learning about their love breathing And her unique sword and flexibility how would he react to the truth behind there hair colour
( imagine him giving them the nickname my beauty flamingo🦩💀because poor boy doesn't know much about love but don't worry the love hashira enterd his chat )
This is actually so adorable.
Tumblr media
We all know Riddle is not that well acquainted with the concept of love. You both are like the north and south pole of a magnet; opposite but attracted to each other. He is nothing short of a tyrant, and you are the kindest soul anyone has ever met.
You try your best to not break any rules and you even attempt to memorize at least half of them, and Riddle can see that you are trying your best and will be less harsh on you. In return, you are always present at the unbirthday parties and are seated next to Riddle as his queen.
However, he notices that you don’t eat as much during the parties. He would offer you some of the tart that was on his plate, but you would politely decline, opting to start a different conversation and change the subject.
When he confronted you about it, you told him that it wasn’t very lady-like to eat a lot, which is a habit you picked up. However, Riddle was horrified. His mother controlled his diet when he was younger, but to learn that you were doing this to yourself… he got Trey to make a lot of tarts and had you eat them. He then made sure you ate everyday.
He also learned that you used to dye your hair to make yourself seem more “normal” so that you could find love. Riddle has heard about tales involving true love, but he never really considered how hard it was for the main character to find it.
However, he is glad to know that your search for that special someone was over when you met him. The memory is a tad embarrassing, but he’s glad he met you. You were isekai’d to Twisted Wonderland while traveling to defeat a demon, so you were in your Demon Corps uniform.
When Rosehearts first laid his eyes on you, he started blushing because your uniform was a tad too revealing. He further melted when you asked him if he was okay in your soft voice. However, he took note of your brightly colored hair and your sword that was sheathed.
When Riddle invites you on a date, it usually is in the center of the Queen’s Labyrinth. No one can easily make it there, so it’s the perfect place for privacy. You and him both prepare sweets and tea to enjoy during your time together. You even had him try sakura mochi and he enjoyed it a lot.
Once in PE class, Coach Vargas had everyone lifting weights so that their arms could build some muscle. You got an easy A+ that day because of your Demon Slayer Corps training. You explained to your boyfriend that you eat a lot because your immense strength calls for it. 
When the students overblot, you usually have to weaken them to the point where they can’t fight anymore. When Leona overblotted, he was able to see your technique with your whip-like sword. He watched as you - seemingly - easily took down Leona. You told Riddle that you trained under another Hashira, and through that training was able to create your Love Breathing.
As for his rather… unique nickname for you, you don’t mind it. You know that relationships and love are hard for Riddle because he has no experience with it, so you are very patient. You call him ‘sweetheart’ most of the time for obvious reasons, so yeah.

Papyracetae
The “paper whales” represent an even more extreme modification of the Auranauts’ already extreme body plan. They have evolved a separate circulatory system specifically to pump hydrogen-and-helium-rich blood to their second lung, allowing them to much more effectively regulate their buoyancy and fly much higher into the atmosphere. Given their size, they are ultra-lightweight and quite delicate, with highly pneumatized bodies that are almost more air than tissue. These huge animals have long inspired mythology and are considered by many cultures to be divine beings.
Stargliders
Tumblr media
Pictured: the common Starglider, the only species to be represented with multiple preserved specimens.
These are the smallest and the highest-flying of the Papyracetae, drifting on air currents far above the clouds. Many species of air plankton use these currents as a highway to migrate, and the Stargliders intercept them as they travel. Because of their preferred habitat, they are difficult to study, and even dead ones are hard to find as they are frequently shredded by wind and other flying animals on the descent. Due to this, it is likely that there are many undiscovered species inhabiting the skies of Strix. Currently, only the common Starglider has been studied to any decent extent, and all other described species have only been based on single dead specimens or brief sightings of live ones. Their true range is unknown, but they are assumed to live worldwide.
Sky Shepherds
Tumblr media
Pictured: the cloudcrester, a species seen over both the Moon Sea and Great Southern Sea during their respective wet seasons.
While all other Papyracetae are solitary, sky shepherds live in small groups and work together to herd air plankton into tight balls that they can then consume. Migrating between the north and south annually, these giants keep pace with the seasonal rain and the air plankton that follow it. These shepherds are the loudest creatures on the planet, producing infrasonic trumpeting noises that can travel hundreds of miles for communication between groups. The Terebroids are particularly tuned into this frequency, and use these calls to track down their prey from miles away.
Monarchs
Tumblr media
Pictured: the sky queen, the largest of them all, is sighted most frequently above the semi-arid plains of the midlands.
These are the largest animals on Strix by wingspan. With only three known species, they are not especially common, but they are an incredible sight when encountered. With wingspans up to 200 feet across, these massive creatures patrol the skies, scooping up air plankton into their gaping mouths. Like all Papyracetae, they are seasonal migrants, but seem to prefer the mid-latitudes more than their relatives. They are rarely sighted at the poles or over large bodies of water, and they avoid high winds and turbulence lest their paper-thin bodies be damaged. Mysterious and graceful, they are truly a wonder of evolution.

Alright I didn’t really color much but I still lover regardless 😼 she stays winning. Gotta be one of the ever, yknow what I’m saying? Yeah
we respect Mary in this household. In fact, the reason meteors haven’t destroyed earth by now is because she told them hey, that’s not cool; so they were like damn you’re right and didn’t obliterate earth yet

North Pole, Alaska appearance ⁉️ genderfluid queen king thing. The holiday spirit is for all the gender out there 💪 ngl a really fun design for me! I imagine she got rosea cuz. Santa roses cheeks or something. Perhaps they are a elementary (perhaps kindergarten to 2nd or 3rd??) school teacher when they are off their holiday hours!! That would be sweet I think :) but he don’t really have any jobs during summer other than taking care of his pet reindeer—which yes, in North Pole there is a public reindeer ranch, yes, you can go pet them— and working at the Santa Workshop, so she gets a lil (very very) down during summer 😔 pooh fimbly

This is North Pole during summer…

Here in Brazil, Santa Claus is called "Papai Noel", which roughly translates to "Father Christmas".
There's nothing so different about that. In many countries, Santa is known as Father Christmas.
But the thing that surprised me is Mrs. Claus.
Here we call her, Mother Christmas, which I think it is a title fitting for her as his wife, companion, and probably, second in command.
But it seems that in many countries that use the name Father Christmas, his wife is usually still just Mrs. Claus, Mrs. Santa Claus, Mrs. Father Christmas, or just Mrs. Christmas.
I know it's a very little thing, but for me it's not fair.
C'mon guys. If there's a Father Christmas, there has to be a Mother Christmas.
Because she is his wife, that should mean she has power and authority in the North Pole just as him, like a queen for a king, not that she's just his wife.

ELF ON A WHAT NOW?!
Thranduil x fem!reader
Basically: thranduil finds out about santa’s helper elfs from A human passer by in eryngallen and is reaaaaallly confused [not proof read]
Christmas came early? Btw the Reader is from present reality planted into Tolkien-verse. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
Woodland realm to a human was particularly magical with their found family at their side. No matter how different that family was from her y/n took the duties of Queen very seriously. Local elves worshiped the ground she walked on. Although skeptical of her origins at first she even managed fo get through the ice cold heart of the king and his son. His son, Legolas even looked up to her more than he looked up to his father. Something about the stories from her world made little leggy want to go on adventures with her and on adventures did they go. Now, he found himself all grown up for an elf, or as grown up as he Could be.
Just as he was about to cross the border back to home after a long journey he came a cross an odd looking fellow with gear resembling that of a warrior, long horns seeped from his helmet. It reminded him of his dramatic ada’s crown. This strange men clearly wasn’t elf or belonging to anywhere near here. So he decided to introduce himself.
“Aye boy, you can’t possibly be an elf. North Pole elves are short, silly and not attractive. Not particularly wise as far as I can tell. They do seem to do good which is nice. Santa elves are not warriors, they do not wield weapons.”
“Who’s Santa? Hold that thought. I shall take you to the king and queen.”
Legolas muttered under his breath “She might know something about this…”
“Does anyone care to explain where my son and wife are?”
“You grace, the queen is in town for the fair. As for the prince i was informed, of the latest, he’s crossed the border.”
“Yes, how-“
“There’s one more thing, your grace, the prince isn’t alone…”
“What do you mean?”
“Guards have spotted the prince on his way with a human companion”
“why is that so alarming… it might be his mellon Strider”
“I would not be so sure your grace, prince might require an audience before the welcome back feast”
“Sure. Why not”
Thranduil continued to show his calm posterior. But inside he was dying to know who this human was. Last time this happened it was you he [thranduil] came back with.
“Ada!”
“Legolas i’ve missed you dearly”
*elvish hug thing* (i know, how addictive)
“Where’s Naneth?”
“She’s in town I’ve already sent Galion to fetch her”
“Galion? Are you certain he’ll be able to find her”
“Well we are short staffed… aren’t you going to introduce your friend, ion nin?”
“He isn’t really my friend…this is Einar we met right outside the forest ada, he seemed fo be lost. Anyways i need to speak with Naneth on his origins he keeps telling me i’m no elf-“
“- Aye! you aren’t boy! North Pole elves are short, silly and not attractive. Not particularly wise as far as I can tell. They do seem to do good which is nice. Santa elves are not warriors, they do not wield weapon—“
“You’ve already complimented how attractive i am twice will you stop Einar?! let’s wait for the queen she might understand more than we do.”
Thranduil more confused than when he met you really needed answers so he waited for your counsel.
“Leggy my boy!”
“Nana!”
*human hug cause physical touch>>>*
“Wee lad this your mother? She looks lot younger than you!”
“Who’s this?” You asked surprised that your husband hadn’t put this odd stranger in a dungeon already or was he a stranger.
“Einar i met him on my way to here. Nana he claims that i’m not an elf. Going on about some Santa and the North Pole…have you heard of this legend?”
You couldn’t help but laugh. Einar had that look on him were you could see he was scared of whatever was going on but like your husband he made sure to hide it well.
“Meleth have you any knowledge of this Santa?”
“Yes i do. And it’s no harm to any of us. I understand Einar’s confusion. Let’s just get to the feast boys! I’m starving!”
No one dared to go against your word. After the feast. You made sure Einar found comfort in one of the empty chambers in the palace. As a Human who knows what He went through to get here you shared your experience with him and he told you his. Afterwards you went back to your still quizzical husband who wouldn’t shut up about how weird it is that in your land people have to Vote for a leader. It seems to challenge his existence.
“Meleth, you never told us what Einar meant about Santas-helper-elves”
“Oh! So you know santa now right? Elves in some cultures in my world are his helpers. They wear pointy red or green hats. And funny shoes. We even had a thing called elf on a shelf…Einar’s right, they’re nothing like you guys.”
“ELF ON A WHAT NOW?!”
