If you've looked at my AO3 lately, you'll realize that I accidentally replaced all of my additional tags. If you can remember some or all of the additional tags on any particular fic of mine, I would appreciate it if you reminded me of them. I've rewritten the tags for roughly 80 of my 174 fics, but I know I've likely forgotten some of the tags on those fics.
Also, I'm sorry for the tag spam on this post. I'm tagging all of the fandoms that I've 1. written for and 2. accidentally replaced the tags on my fics for. Hopefully this reaches my readers. (That being said, if you've read my fic and don't remember the tags I used, don't worry about it.)

Oh my god I forgot to talk ab the stupid boxes!
So from like New Year's- like two days ago, my area hasn't gotten anything new in. But instead of leaving under my table empty, I had been leaving my boxes, keeping them taped up and put a little X on em so I know they're empty. Why? Bc NewLady is so insanely anal ab boxes under her table ONLY being the box for the item on the table above it. Now mind you, she has 4x the table space I do. She will CONSTANTLY try to push the womens hanging rack item boxes under womens (fine, NetflixCoworker has room) and children's under mine. Mens is RIGHT ACROSS the hanging rack. FOUR TIMES THE SPACE.
So to make it seem like I have noooo room under my table for new boxes, I'd been keeping the old ones with the Xs right? (Which didn't even help bc the one day I took off, she put TWO hanging rack boxes in the middle of my box space like BEHIND the boxes)
So we're doing the audit and I had noticed earlier in the week that some of her boxes had Xs. Cool less for us to count.
THEY WERE STILL FULL SGGDGDGDG SHE'S JUST MARKING Xs FOR NO APPARENT REASON!! at least with mine, it's so I know "dont grab this box, unless you need to put something IN it."
I stg I think she saw the Xs on my boxes and was like... trying to fit in??? Idk but I almost fucking lost it laughing I was so taken aback like what the goddamn hell is her deal?? Seriously a 60 going on 6 situation with her good lord

my friend, a casual ofmd enjoyer, displaying a level of media literacy to which the canyon could never ascend: it's too bad we didn't get more of zheng. She's awesome. Of course, she's not the main character
true, true. But of course zheng is awesome and deserves an appreciation post. so.
an incomplete list of reasons why zheng yi sao, ofmd edition, rules:
is all about the soup
negotiates a living wage for her crew
morning tai chi and eucalyptus towels
is soft for oluwande (demonstrates excellent taste and judgement)
is really very chill about the whole “escaped my prisoners and ran off with my ship’s wheel” thing when she sees the revenge crew again
only tries to kill stede once and only after he was really asking for it
“pirate queen who bent china to her will”
super generous with the soup actually
“girl, how are you”
walks her fleet across panama. given time she probably could have built the canal
“culturally this must be very difficult for you”
kills a guy with acupressure points (r.i.p. steak knife)
“this is a join me or die situation”
pigtails
her cover as soup-kiosk sue was so good not even jackie clocked her real identity
“guys! fuck!”
member of the (100% canon and non-negotiable) tealoranges extended polycule
kills men whether they are exceptional or just mediocre (r.i.p. exceptional men)
“i know. it’s been a day” (most quotable character fr)
the red flag seems like a great place to be a pirate actually. cute uniforms with a great fit, collaborative atmosphere, soup.
soup

This is absolutely nothing to do with the Netflix show I haven’t even watched that thing but I’m once again thinking about Sokka and Sokkas Master again and going insane.
Especially with how Sokka was never supposed to be a warrior. Like fundamentally he’s just not built for that kind of life. He was born into war and has been basically been told and trained to believe that one day he is going to die for his tribe and especially for his sister and that’s his destiny and he’s like okay that’s my job that’s what I do and everyone in the tribe knows this and sees this as my role as I am the only man left. (I sincerely doubt a bunch of woman and old people were actually looking at this kid as the last warrior seriously until he went to fight the fire nation BY HIMSELF but that’s not the point, the point is he was doing it)
But but the thing about Sokka is he’s not a fighter, he’s a scholar to his core. He doesn’t win hand to hand against Zuko but he does get a hit in with his boomerang that takes an insane amount of math to do perfectly and even though he loses the fight we realise already that Sokka is coming at this war from a different angle that anyone else is.
Like Sokka knows when he joins Aang he doesn’t have as much to bring to the team, he basically assigns himself the role of provider and bodyguard and is now willing to die for both of them because they are two of the most important people in the world and he could have been cynical the entire time. He was prepared to be cynical. Until he goes to Kyoshi gets his shit rocked by a girl and is like oh damn there’s different ways to go about fighting and war and I actually don’t know a lot of it can you super pretty warrior lady teach me your ways and from that moment on Sokka becomes a student.
He gets the mark of the wise with Bato, he figures out how to get Katara on that prison ship and that the fortune teller is a hoax and gets the water bending scroll all through thinking things through not fighting them head on. He invents the fricken war ballon and it’s so clear that all his thinking is now coming at things from an angle no one expects which is so perfect for this war in particular considering it’s been basically a slow tug of war between the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation for decades. He’s looking at these things and he’s like hey I’m not a bender but I do know how benders think and how a lot of people think because I’m trying to figure out how the world works. Like by the time he gets to North he isn’t as great with the weapons because again HES NOT A FIGHTER AT HEART but he is a thinker and he points out all the holes in the Norths strategy with full confidence.
Like in book 2 all his thoughts are about winning and out thinking the enemy. He learns about the library and gets so genuine excited about it but he can’t be a true nerd cause of his responsibilities but he basically plans a way to win the war, learns haikus, try’s art, gets into wrestling and learns so much about other cultures and skills he’s always thinking and winning and no longer doing things on impulse.
But of course he still feels insecure about that and doesn’t see his brain as his true weapon because he was supposed to be the warrior. That’s his role.
So he goes to Piandao who sees all of that and sees how Sokka is so so smart and eager to learn and think in ways that no one expects and he nurtures that. He teaches him art and calligraphy and gives him a Jian! He gives Sokka a Jian "The Gentleman of Weapons" not Dao even though Dao are made for soilders and Jian are for scholars, nobels and people who have time for proper sword craft. (Not to mention the fact they are primarily used for Tai Chi which is also the base for water bending which is just a detail I love). Like the Jian is a sword for scholars it’s for scholars!!!
Sokkas a thinker not a fighter and that’s so amazing to me.
Like he starts as the boy that took on a fire nation ship by himself then ends the series as the guy who’s strategies won the war, a trusted advisor for basically anyone of importance because they know he’s smart and are willing to listen to his ideas and with such a happy future for him to grow without the weight of having to be a fighter weighing him down cause that’s not who he’s supposed to be.

So, don't mind me but I now need Rohan and Savannah to be a thing so here's a list of new delulu headcanons for me and you:
He kisses her hand every time in greeting.
When they go out for dinner, he pulls out her chair before she sits.
One of their favorite activities together is playing cards and Avery taught Savannah more moves so she could beat him. Out of pure spite for Rohan, Jameson does too.
Sav makes it her duty to help him put on cufflinks when they're going out somewhere.
In turn, he helps do up her shoes for the event and yes, he is THAT boyfriend which carries his girl's heels when she's taken them off when the event is over.
Ironically enough, they are polar opposites when it comes date night and dinner options. Rohan will be the one who opts for a fancy Italian dinner out while Savannah will gladly take the takeout/pizza on the couch with a movie stay-in casual date.
She falls asleep first despite being very reluctant to let down her guard and he notices this after a few movie dates when she falls asleep towards the end of the movie. He likes tucking her into the crook of his neck.
Rohan hates Duncan with a passion and he and Gray plan his ultimate demise at some point in the future.
While Savannah practices her shots, Rohan will sometimes challenge her and unfortunately for him he almost always loses. But Sav graciously makes him cookies after to soothe his ego and teaches him some tricks.
Rohan teaches Sav wrestling and several martial arts (muay tai, tai chi, and kung fu) for self defense technique. Gray is very proud of her but grumbles that he could teach her himself.
He is very ticklish and Sav finds this out by accident when Katara comes and lies on her lap but her tail brushes against him. When he starts moving around, she turns to see what's bothering him until she figures out the problem. She hasn't used this against him yet but keeps it filed away for blackmail material.
There, that's what I got for now. Enjoy.

BG3 headcanons (modern AU)
My brain is full of headcanons and I need to get them out!
Shadowheart: She’s an English teacher. Always advocates for her queer students, who see her as a refuge. Loves sweets and pastries and is always carrying a snack in her backpack. Dyes her hair once a month, different colour every time. Chronically online, Tumblr and Twitter user, has the best taste in memes out of all the gang. Writes poetry and fan fiction. Grew up in a cult and lives with religious trauma, but she goes to therapy and does her very best.
Astarion: He’s a lawyer, of course. Has an impeccable aesthetic in his instagram profile, with a defined palette. Very good taste in clothing. He was physically and emotionally abused by his stepfather when he was a kid and hasn’t really worked through this trauma (Shadowheart always encourages him to go to therapy). Very close friends with Shadowheart.
Minthara: Lawyer, but has specialised in finance and has rapidly climbed the financial ladder via questionable methods. CEO of a major company. Impeccable taste in fashion. Vegan. Has a section in her closet filled with BDSM paraphernalia. Everything she owns is expensive. She’s the daughter of a powerful senator who was very emotionally abusive to her growing up. Staunch defender of capitalism. Wakes up naturally at 5 am. Does yoga and tai chi.
Lae’zel: She’s in the air force, has wanted to be since she was a girl. She’s in the spectrum and has only recently realised. Her special interests are planes and meteorology. Wakes up very early to run 10k. Extremely mindful about her eating, every meal is perfectly balanced for her specific nutritional needs.
Karlach: Non-binary. P.E teacher, works at the same school as Shadowheart and that’s how they met and started dating. Loves large dogs. They are a personal trainer on the side. Loves going to the gym and is very supportive of new people. Friends with Wyll since high school.
Jaheira: Anthropologist, environmental and anti-gentrification activist. Has lived in her neighbourhood forever and hates that it’s getting gentrified. Being a local icon and leader, a few political parties have tried to get her to run for office but she always refuses because she doesn’t trust the establishment. Has been arrested multiple times at demonstrations. She’s so devoted to her activism that she has neglected her children at times. Chain smoker.
Halsin: Environmental lawyer. Has worked in multiple NGOs. Has been to therapy. Single, not for a lack of suitors, but because he wants to find a life partner. Has been a vegetarian for decades. Has a bear tattoo.
Wyll: Entrepreneur. Devoted to The Grind™. Has taken classes on gender politics. Goes to the gym with Karlach and uploads mirror selfies. Has asked Minthara to be his mentor but she keeps refusing. Has also been to therapy.
Gale: Successful academic. Has been going through a terrible divorce with another famous and powerful academic. Excellent cook, makes his own sourdough bread. Likes the finer things in life.
Bonus: My OC, Ramona
Literature major but has no academic ambition whatsoever. She does know a lot about it and runs a literature club for troubled teenagers with Shadowheart.
Was working as a barista when she met Minthara and was immediately enthralled.
Has shared a flat with Shadowheart since uni, and they’re best friends.
She’s easily the funniest one in the gang.
Always manages to get free stuff or discounts just because of how nice and persuasive she is.
Excellent liar (white lies, mostly).
Wears recycled clothing almost exclusively, which Minthara hates.
Everyone hated Minthara when they first started dating but over time, as she changed, they managed to put up with her, even growing fond of her (most of them).
I’ve been trying to write some fics but I can’t seem to find the courage to. I enjoy coming up with headcanons more

Shadybug/ClawNoir supporting character Headcanons
Jagged Stone? More like Jared Smith. He wanted to be a rockin musician, but his type of music is banned by the Supreme so his career never took off. Instead, he ended up marrying his girlfriend, Nannette Couffaine, after accidentally knocking her up with twins, released his pet crocodile into the Seine, got an apartment, and works a regular job that he HATES. But, he secretly still tries to record music and sells it on the black market where it has become somewhat popular in the indie underground, but if he were caught he would go to prison for sure. It’s not a happy marriage but he does what he has to. His kids last names are hyphenated Couffaine-Smith.
No houseboat, and without Royalties from music labels, neither Juleka or Luka could afford to go to Francois Dupont
Penny works as an assistant for Bob Roth and HATES IT. The man is a sexist slave driver, but this business is brutal.
Nadja Chamack is not a news anchor. You can’t be a single mother AND have a career that takes up so much of your time. As a result, Marinette has never had to babysit Manon.
Lila wants to challenge Chloe’s position as queen of the school, but there are no lies about charity work, only lies of what powerful and famous connections she has.
Adrien is not interested in being friendly with Lila, and definitely not going to help her with schoolwork. But he is still the ultimate trophy and key to winning popularity in Lila’s eyes, so she is determined to “win him over”, even though he finds her almost as annoying as Chloe, but Chloe he is stuck with due to her mom’s working relationship with his dad.
Gabriel doesn’t trust Lila one bit.
The sad and negative emotions he is forced to sense due to the power of the Butterfly brooch cause him distress, and he often has to excuse himself due to “headaches” from overworking, as a creative’s work is never done… But he is always listening for the emotions of people crying out for justice, for help, for people who wish they had the power to help.
Andre Glacier is still the Sweetheart’s ice-cream maker, but Sweetheart’s ice-cream is just a special menu item that you can request. Otherwise he has a scheduled route and serves the ice-cream that customers ask for.
Alya’s dad wishes the zoo could focus more on animal enrichment and larger enclosures but they don’t have the budget for such “unnecessary extravagences”.
Mr. Haprel hopes to make it as a famous Mime one day so he can be rich enough to afford to send his daughter, Mylene, to the school he works at as a janitor.
Everyone avoids Ivan.
Thomas Astruc never made it as a famous director, rather, the Supreme favored his University Rival, Andre Bourgeois, who also owns the Le Grande Paris Hotel.
Gina and Roland Dupain are not divorced/separated per say… Gina was sent to prison for civil disobedience. That’s why Tom is a doormat and just goes along with whatever discipline Sabine decides on because he doesn’t want his precious little girl to end up a criminal like her grandmother.
Sabine does not teach an inkpainting class on the weekend or practice tai chi or feng shui.
The walls of Marinette’s home are not pink, they are a boring beige that she hates.
The Agreste Manor is not a sterile, black and white modern decor dungeon. It is a prism of color, function, form, beauty and nature with nods to antiquity and the whimsical. Adrien HATES it. All color and light left this world when his mother died. The art in his house mocks his pain.
There is no school blog for Nathaniel to post his art on… But Marc ended up in that class instead of Marinette. (So did Mireille) He’s still too shy to admit he’s a writer. And even more shy to admit he has a crush on Nathaniel, so all he can do is watch the boy quietly. Rose thinks it’s a romantic tragedy and wants to play matchmaker. Alex thinks it’d be a disaster waiting to happen.
There is no Prince Ali who gives toys to sick kids in hospitals.
There is nothing as frivolous as videogame tournaments, so Max devotes all his spare time to his hobby of robotics and developing an AI… but developing an artificial intelligence is frowned upon. Luckily, Alya can keep a secret… that is, if Max is willing to spare some of his time to helping her havkninto the dark web to research conspiracy theories.
Wayhem is obseesed with Adrien, who can’t stand crazy fanatics and won’t lose any sleep if the Gorilla tackles the scrawny boy to the ground.
After much convincing, bullsh**ing, and bribes, Gabriel is able to host his derby hat design competition at Francois Dupont, (and hopefully, modelling his classmate’s creations will be a bonding point for Adrien to make a new friend) Rose sees it as an opportunity to tries to get Marc and Nathaniel to work with her to create a hat, hoping sparks will fly between them.
Even if Marinette WANTED to enter a stupid contest involving that spoiled, stuck-up Agreste boy, which she DOESN’T, her mother won’t allow it because sewing and doodling outfits is a distraction from her schoolwork.
Chloe still cheats.
But Shadybug discreetly sabotages the fashion show the winning hat is supposed to feature in.
Nathalie never became Gabriel’s assistant or even acquaintance. Instead, she is in charge of the department of the Louvre that archives and locks away all “banned” art and artifacts (aka anything related to Miraculous holders)
Alex thinks she’s creepy and hates how she coldly bosses around her dad.
Audrey is the same as ever, with the exception that she recognizes that her younger daughter Zoe has some talent, and wants Andre to find a movie part for her to play, and ignores Chloe’s bitter jealousy which causes her to lash out at others even nastier than in Ladybug and Cat Noir’s universe.
Nino is treated rudely and ignored by Adrien. Adrien would never agree to play a role in Nino’s movie and even accuses Nino of trying to use Adrien’s celebrity status to give himself an unfair advantage in the student movie competition.
Adrien doesn’t have time for stupid group projects or after school activities. But not because he has a full schedule since this Universe’s Gabriel is a decent father who does not demand perfection and give a 14 year old a burdensome schedule… It’s because outside of fencing and modeling, Adrien plans to spend his time planning out which sections of the city he’s going to take his anger out on that night.
Gabriel never forgot his roots as the son of a fry-cook, and occasionally tries to cook comfort food (NOT PANCAKES) for Adrien, who insists he’s not hungry or that junk is bad for his skin/weight, which has Gavriel worried about Adrien developing body dysphoria and eating disorders… These worries are put to rest when he finds out Adrien has suddenly developed a sweet tooth for baked goods. Therefore he has no qualms about his son frequenting the local bakery so often because a growing boy needs to eat and a treat is good for the spirit.
He wishes he could be more honest with Adrien, but he knows that it would destroy his son if he ever found out that the sickness that took his mother’s life was caused by his creation… He’s also not sure what kind of trauma Adrien would have to the fact he’s not human.
Gabriel also doesn’t want Adrien in danger. Gabriel wants to create a better world for his son to live in, a world where he and everyone else can be free! Where people can throve without stepping over others, and the poor don’t have to suffer. Where people have rights to love freely and express opinions without fear. A world where people help one another.
Gabriel would never use the rings to control Adrien, instead, he keeps them locked away in a safe, and plans to give them to Adrien someday when he is an adult and less likrly to misplace them because if they were to fall into the wrong hands, Gabriel shudders to think of what would become of Adrien.
Audrey still has a low key crush on Gabriel which makes him cringe but he still acts polite to keep up working relations, and he also pities his friend Andre, trapped in a one-sided marriage and bullied by his daughter and his wife.

{❤️Brotherly Advice❤️}
Mona Lisa/Y'Gythgba is here!
Tumblr media
Y'Gythgba. His Mona Lisa. The most beautiful and strongest woman Raph's ever met. Well lizard lady, but his opinion still stands. Despite her scaled features, Y'Gythgba has been one of the sweetest souls he and his brothers have had the pleasure of working with.
Surprisingly enough, basing their initial opinions on an alien ship that landed in the water of the Hudson without people suspecting anything. When Donnie's UFO detectors went coocoo over a giant Star Trek looking navigating system, they all immediately panicked thinking it was another Krang attack. Turns out the Salamandrians were only there to retrieve an old artifact left by there ancestors on midgard while it was still in it's early stages of evolution.
Unaware of the fact that the turtles were friends and not foes a battle broke out. Specifically between the commander and his right hand. Their advanced spears and knives surprised the brothers but they were to hold their own. For about 8 minutes. Y'Gythgba came in and swept through the quartet and dazzled the second oldest. Her style of fighting resembled Tai Chi and Kung Fu mixed together.
Efficiently sweeping the red-clad turtle off his feet. Literally and poetically. After explanations rang out she pulled them up off the floor despite the height differences and apologized profusely.
"It's alright."
"Don't worry about, I respect a well trained fighter."
"No worries girl, I'll gladly get my ass kicked by a pretty girl."
"........" The brothers turned to look at Raph who was looking,... shy?
Gaining weird expressions Y'Gythgba thought Raph was angry at her still and went up to him.
"I really am sorry, I wouldn't have attacked on impulse if I knew you were on my people's side and would get upset about it." Shit. His heart sped up. By a lot. Panicking he quickly shot down her thought process.
"No, no no no! I'm not upset! I'm actually impressed you're really strong and kick ass!" Okay now Donnie thinks he's having a stroke. Cause how the hell did Raph get his ass handed to him by someone who's a whole smaller than him(he's 7,1) and not get embarrassed when she used her tail to lift him up like a 5 pound weight.
After reassuring that they weren't here to take over Earth, the turtles returned to their home and began questioning their brother.
"You wanna talk about it?"
"What?"
"The way you got all shell-shy with that lizard lady?" Leave it to Mikey to bombshell everything. This time though, Leo would let it slide, especially when his little brother seemed to gained a puppy crush after years. The only ones they've had were on celebrities. Men and women.
"What? She's awesome. I wanna take her to Tom's, sue me." Raph gained a nervous smile but was lost in thought. Leo smirked, he's got it bad.
"Wow, you've really got a crush on this Salamandra hottie?" Raph semi-glared at his little brother who through himself on his brother with an arm over his shoulders. Whilst Donnie smacked him on the back of the head for his brother. But continued on from the comment.
"I'll admit I'm surprised she's your type. She's smaller, stronger, and a more efficient fighter than any of us." Nodding in slight agreement, Leo thought about it a little. He didn't expect Raph to like a girl Y'Gythgba. He expected someone more cutesy and human. That is till-
"Exactly! What a woman." Yup. He's gone. Well, if it was going to continue, he wanted Raph to actually know what he was doing before hand.
"Well if you want any advice-"
"Please! You and bunny boy are going strong, no? You two can help-, no offence guys." The other two siblings shrugged and walked off to do something around the lair. Mikey probably went to go find Splinter and Donnie to work on an unfinished project. Rolling his eyes, leader in blue thought fondly  of his small boyfriend. They'd been going strong for about a year and a half. So Leo became the Sudo for his younger brothers on how functional relationships work.
"Alright hold up, lemme call him." Pulling out his phone, Leo smiled into the call and asked his lover to come over. Raph found himself smiling too. Thinking it must feel nice to have someone be your outer-soul. Raph didn't like "other-half". To him personally, he was already whole, he's just adding some sprinkles to the perfect milkshake.
Ten minutes later, Usagi sped into the lair and threw himself at Leo who caught him and spun him around. Clearing his throat Raph turned their attention to him.
"Cute, but can we get back to my problem please?" Rolling their eyes they all went into Leo's room and closed the door for privacy.
"So what do you want to know?"
"Well I know how you got together, I was there." The pair smiled at the memory. These sick fucks. "But I want to know if you had plans to confess differently."
Thinking for a bit Usagi shook his head and turned to Leo. Sighing he started talking pulling Usagi closer.
"I wanted to ask him in place important to us. So first things first, form a platonic bond first. And not just one that's on and off talking. One where she becomes one of your best friends. That'll be easy seeing as you don't have many other friends to begin with." If he could, he would flip of Leo.
Usagi got the message somehow and pinched Leos' side with a smug look.
"If I hadn't been caught rambling about how hard I fell for this guy then I probably would've shown him somewhere that's important to me and confessed their. Like my hidey hole. Only Leo and Uki know where it is." That's why Leo turned off his location sometimes. Gross.
Thinking it over, Raph decided the next time he had the chance he would ask if Y'Gythgba wanted a T-phone to communicate with all of them easier. With the side intention of speaking one-on-one. Even better because the could set up private meetings easier without scouring the Hudson for an invisible ship.
So that's what he did. At least what he tried to do. When he found the ship he Y'Gythgba sitting on the edge of the ship looking out to the city. Piulling off some ninja moves(totally not to impress her) he landed next to her and sat down.
"Hi."
"Hello." She smiled. Ralph could only gaze into her eyes slightly. They were cognac brown and she had weirdly shaped pupils, but for some reason he found it cute. Made her more interesting to him.
"How you liking Earth so far?"
"It's beautiful, although I wish we didn't have to hide from most of the population."
"I hear you. Me and my brothers have to stay hidden to protect them. Sucks that they don't even know it's us and not the people who are supposed to defend them."
Tilting her head in confusion and thought she spoke again.
"That doesn't seem fair. You risk your lives for a civilization that doesn't even appreciate you."
Ralph chuckled softly. It was nice for someone other than him to be frustrated by the fact that, yeah, they risked their necks for people that would scream at the mere touch of them.
"It's not that bad. At least we get to pull pranks on people sometimes."
"Pranks?"
Light bulb. He knew how he could bond with her and show her how to relax Earth style. May Loki have mercy on Donnie's lab experiments.

cass!!!!
Headcanon A:  realistic 
Picky eater. She’s able to eat a lot of different foods, after being homeless for many years, but I think now she has a choice, she has a fairly specific diet. She likes things which are salty and spicy, and of course chocolate as a treat. She especially enjoys instant ramen (thanks to Babs) or fast food which tastes exactly the same every time.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Knows from the moment they met that Steph has a crush on her. Sometimes does the things she knows will increase Steph’s heart rate, like pinning her down when they spar. Has no clue this indicates she has a crush back, she thinks she’s just messing with Steph. 
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
I do think she has specific triggers around the murder she committed as a child, but she doesn’t have the self-awareness to necessarily understand them. Cass knows that the sight of fussy little party dresses makes her feel hot and adrenaline-filled and like she wants to punch something, but she doesn’t dwell on it beyond thinking they just make her angry because they’re stupid. If Barbara happened to make the connection, maybe if the two went to The Nutcracker together for Christmas and Cass got so antsy she had to leave, she’d shrug Babs off as reading too much into things, as usual. 
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
While she was alone, I do think Cass made connections in her “lost years” across China, Vietnam and the US. She couldn’t communicate with them much, but I can see her teaching another homeless kid to throw a punch, or always being given a free hot dog by a street vendor, or being intrigued by a tai chi class of elderly people in a park. She doesn’t know what happened to any of these people - she doesn’t even know their names, and even if she did so many of them had already slipped off any official records. She doesn’t know how the vendor sometimes thinks about her just appearing behind him without warning, or how a grandchild doesn’t believe the story of the little girl dressed in black who moved like she had perfect control of every part of her body.

Hey, did you know that the trailer for Kung-Fu Panda 4 has already dropped? 😁
I SAW AND I AM SO EXCITED TO SEE TAI LUNG AKDKKZKSJSBD TAI LUNG IS GONNA RETURN DID YOU SEE THAT @dracocheesecake TAI LUNG RETURNED AND MY PREDICTION THAT SHE DISGUISES AS HIM AND OTHER VILLAINS STEALING CHI FROM THEM IS TRUE OMG I PREDICTED IT WELL
I don't care for the rest I still think it should have remained a trilogy, the finale was perfect, this is a cash grab, this is either gonna be a hit or a miss, I have too many "Po makes a new quirky talented best friend who will be his ally during the whole story who will just exist for that storyline" vibes from that canid girl force of watching all the recent KFP tv shows, the other characters who will help give me too many "Sonic shitty friends created by all the secondary media" memories, and I HATE how we don't see the Furious Five this really gives me even more these tv show vibes and I DON'T like it (I read they will appear but the fact they don't appear even once in the trailer scares me, they will be very secondary, too much I feel like)
But the one redeeming quality : TAI LUUUUNG
Tumblr media
WILL HE FINALLY GET HIS REDEMPTION ARC !?!??!! PLEEEEAAAAAASE !!!!!!!
