#and also the urge to buy shiny things

[clairenatural]

Dean doesn't like the word "boyfriend." He decides this the second time Cas says it–the first time it was new, shiny, exciting. The second time, he fights the urge to cringe.

It's not the "boy" part. It's not. It would have been, for a long time, but he's dug all that shit up and unpacked all the suitcases. They hold hands in public. They kiss goodbye in front of his coworkers at the garage.

It's just–not enough. Not nearly. Jack comes home from hanging out with his friends and fills Dean on the gossip and his boyfriend and her girlfriend and–that's not them. "Boyfriend" feels like a cheap mockery. Like how demons used to tease.

He's heard "partner." He's heard it from Sam, to Eileen, but he doesn't know how he can stomach it. He's said that word too many times. I'm Agent Tyler and this is my partner, Agent Perry. This is my partner, Agent Page. My partner, Agent Stills. All lies. Sam says he likes it, that he's making it mean something real. Besides, Eileen loves it.

Good for them, Dean thinks. It makes his skin crawl.

So he sticks with “boyfriend” and he shrugs off the funny urge to protest every time Cas says it. It makes him happy, and honestly, it’s not like he has an alternative.

It’s a Sunday when he realizes that somehow, Cas does. They’re at the farmer’s market, like Cas is every weekend, but Dean had picked up weekend shifts and missed the past few. Cas is excited the whole way there, telling Dean about how he’d manage to befriend the local honey vendor in his absence, how she’d invited him to a beginner’s apiarist group she helps run. They beeline (heh) to the honey booth as soon as they get there, and the woman--Judith? Janice?--smiles up at them both, hands Cas a jar of honey like she’d been expecting him, and says “Oh, this must be the husband! I’ve heard so much about you.”

Dean stares at Cas. Cas stares at the honey. Judith/Janice stares at both of them, smile fading as the silence goes on a beat too long. 

Dean clears his throat. “Uh, yeah. The husband, that’s me! Ha ha.” Beside him, Cas relaxes, just barely. In front of him, the woman breathes an audible sigh of relief. “Sorry,” Dean shifts. “Just didn’t, um. Realize I was such a hot topic.” 

The smile he gets is almost sympathetic. “Oh, only good things. Here,” she hands him a business card. “You should also come out to our meeting on Wednesday. Lots of people bring their partners.” She leans in, almost conspiratorial. “Beekeeping can be wonderful for couples.”

It’s at this point that Cas clears his throat and finally looks up from the honey in his hand, evidently giving up hope on escaping this conversation. “Thank you, Janet.” (oh. Janet.) “Dean works late on Wednesdays, but I’m very excited to see you all.” He’s pulling out money as he says this, apparently deciding to just go ahead and end the entire interaction. He hands her the bills, grabs Dean’s hand, and is already moving away from the booth by the time Janet calls “See you Wednesday!” after them.

Cas drags him all the way back to the car without stopping for tomatoes, or Sam's carrots, or the free-range eggs that are way too expensive but Cas buys anyway because you can taste when the hen is well cared-for, Dean (whatever that means). They slide into the car, still not talking, and sit in silence for several long seconds. Dean stares at Cas, who stares out the windshield at the parking lot.

"I can explain," Cas speaks, finally, right as Dean was about to open his mouth and say anything to break the silence.

Dean pauses. Can you? Cause I feel like I missed a few chapters, he thinks.

"I don't work late on Wednesdays," he says instead.

"Oh." Now it's Cas staring at Dean, and Dean staring out at the asphalt.

He turns the keys. He drives them home.

Later, making dinner, Dean rolls the word around in his head. Husband. He's making his husband pasta (It's missing the tomatoes. He's made more with less).

Husband doesn't feel like a costume, like an ill-fitting suit and scratchy tie. It doesn't feel like high school gossip, or a monster trying to hit him where it hurts. It settles in warm in his chest.

It's just the two of them that night, and they're eating in the comfortable silence of the bunker until Dean clears his throat and brings it up. "Why does Janet at the farmer's market think we're married?"

Cas pauses, fork of pasta halfway to his mouth. He puts the fork down and takes a deep breath. "I'm sorry."

"I'm not mad," Dean hurries to clarify. "It's just that there's usually, uh. Steps, you know. Like a whole....thing."

"I'm aware." Cas sighs. "She assumed, seeing us around - the first time I spoke to her without you, she asked where my husband was. And I..."

"You didn't correct her?"

"...No. I, um." Cas is looking down at his plate again. He picks up the fork, still half-full of pasta, then puts it back down again. "I didn't want to?" He says the end of the sentence like a question but looks back up at Dean and squints just a bit, and Dean knows he's watching for a reaction.

"Uh huh."

"It felt trivial."

"To tell her we're not married?"

"To call you my boyfriend." For the first time, he stumbles over the word.

Dean blinks. "You--" he stops, brain processing too much information to finish that sentence. "Okay." He leans back in his chair. Sighs. Rubs a hand across his eyes and lets it drag down his face. "Okay, listen. I don't like boyfriend either, but we gotta...talk about it."

"We are talking about it. You don't like it either?" Cas leans forward as Dean slumps back, following him across the table.

Dean snorts. "No, man." He shakes his head. "It's been a decade. I've seen you die." Six times. But who's counting.

"I agree." Cas pauses, and then, as if it's the most natural conclusion in the world, "Will you marry me?"

Dean actually laughs at this. "You're asking me that now?"

Cas quirks an eyebrow at him. "I've grown quite fond of calling you my husband at the farmer's market. I'd like to continue."

Dean stares at him in disbelief. It's not how he'd pictured it going, but he also can't think of it going any other way. Slowly, he nods. "Yeah, okay. Let's be husbands."

Across the table, Cas grins at him.

"But we're getting rings," Dean points a finger at him, because something about this is going to be normal.

"If you'd like. Although I already told Janet that you can't wear a ring because of your work at the garage, and I don't wear mine in solidarity."

"Rings," Dean insists, and decides to overlook the rest of that sentence. For now. He stabs his fork into a pile of the pasta. "And let me stop for the damn tomatoes next time."

They get rings and wear them on chains around their necks. Cas puts a beehive on the hill, and there's a small ceremony in the summer - a "vow renewal" to Cas' beekeeping group, who all receive invites attached to little jars of honey. Janet gets the nicest one.

[rustytrident]

i think the hc that occupies my brain the most is the "demonic nature is kinda like human world animals' instincts" so here is the breakdown no one asked for: why i believe demons are much less scary after you actually get to know them!

so, in case it hasn't been evident in my three posts and some lint i have about obey me on here (sarcasm) i am obsessed with the idea that even the most powerful of demons aren't able to resist their demonic urges. like their brain kind of blacks out?? and they do whatever tf either demon brain or sin brain (or both) tells them to do.

lucifer checks himself out on every. single. reflective. surface. fixing his collar, combing his hair, straightening his sleeves – he absolutely hates when he realises he does it but demon brain goes "oohhh!!! it's me im here!!" and sin brain goes "ihavetolookmybestatalltimespleasetellmeilookgood". every time he catches himself with his hand midway through his hair he sighs and tries to go on with his day (one time satan and belphie pranked him by putting mirrors everywhere) (they didn't know lucifer has memorised the layout of the hol and can walk anywhere with his eyes closed).

mammon is that one kid that touches anything shiny and sparkly. you could be wearing highlighter and just feel a poke on your cheek. turn around. it's your demon boy. his pupils are dilated. finger still on your face. half a toof fang sticking out of his mouth. fucking elated. glittery shiny sparkly holographic things are his demon brain cocomelon. sin brain just hoards any and all glittery shiny sparkly holographic things he can find. whenever he's upset he watches those slime or chalk asmr videos but they have to be the ones where the creators use a whole bag of glitter (or! or! the ones where people flick brushes full of glitter above their cameras in slow motion yknow the ones).

leviathan has to be quirky different not like other girls. he has to be the one with the most marine knowledge in the family, the one with the most ruri knowledge in the family – you get the point. i believe he has a touch of the demon tism so if you think you know anything about his special interests no you don't. he was actually there when it happened so joke's on you. yes he did witness the creation of the first amoeba now move. he's also that younger sibling that sees you get praise for doing something and does the exact same thing to get praise too. sin brain goes "if they get that then i have to have it". you see him wearing your clothes sometimes and when you think back you remember you got a compliment on it about a week ago (week agoo 🕺💃) and like yeah. makes sense (pls tell him he's pretty pls).

satan has chewy toys and wears a retainer pretty frequently because that wrath may be chronic but them teeth won't stay there for long if he keeps baring them!! he buys new ones once a month because he absolutely tears through them and everyone is just used to him popping in his acrylic retainer every time lucifer comes in the room. he isn't even half ashamed of his toys because trust me it's not a cute sight. this man is one of the most imposing beings you have ever encountered creating holes with his teeth in places you believe there weren't any before through what you're guessing used to be something green and made of rubber, but you aren't too sure. you ask him what's wrong and he just stares at you blankly and goes "nothing? why would anything be?". it's just a casual case of both demon and sin brain going "AUURGHHHDHS *chomp*". absolutely feral unicorn man with the straightest teeth you've ever seen.

asmodeus is in the same predicament as lucifer when it comes to checking himself out but instead he embraces the moment. and checks other people out too, as long as what they're wearing catches his attention. he's a very touchy demon so you can find him absentmindedly having his hands on you without even realising he does it: twirling a strand of your hair, playing with your fingers, tracing your jawline. it's just that demon brain goes "ohoho!! my humnan look at my humin go!!" and can't not touch you after that. he also bites. you think it would be mammon or beel but nope it's asmo!! you're just too pretty and he wants to feel close to you!! don't bring it up though he gets embarrassed. you know that meme where person a says "i wonder what i taste like" and person b says "i can help with that" and a imagines a kiss and b imagines biting person a? yeah, inside asmo are two wolves.

beelzebub is the randomest fucking demon in that household idc. he's always so quiet and you never know what he's thinking until one day he brings home a human world ostrich like it's nothing and gives it a "tour of its new home"??? absolutely insane. he also buzzes randomly?? like you'll be hanging out in the common room and all of a sudden you hear "bbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" only for another brother to go "beel. i can't concentrate on my book. please refrain from buzzing inside the house"??? hello??? i think he's got a passion for cleaning too (thousands of years of food and blood stains, crumbs and mould have taught him a couple things) so he is always ready to assist in cleaning his brother's rooms and won't stop until they look brand new. his most demon brain moment is when he lifts things. doesn't matter what or how heavy it is, if he sees something new around him he has to give it a little lift. same thing with the people he's fond of. you have been grabbed by the armpits one too many times to have an impromptu simba moment for three seconds, only for beel to just go on with his day, no explanation. what a demon *sighs dreamily*.

belphegor is the most like his familiars (or at least his habits are most prominent). you see the demon chewing and chewing and chewing like one bite of food and if you dare look at him weird he gives you the cow stare (pls tell me you know what im talking about). you see him in full demon form running headfirst into a wall with his horns (#satan_and_belphie_bonding_activity) and if you dare look at him weird he gives you the cow stare. kinda like his twin, he does random moo or hffphhhmp noises according to his mood without realising ("no belphegor, you can not destroy every wall in this house with your horns" "moOOO"). demon brain goes brrrr with some human world grass and some sunshine. like he absolutely loves being in that mediterranean countryside, twirling some grass between his fingers, eating it, living his life. best brother to go on a picnic with hands down.

fucking dorks *heart eyes*

Fic: Somewhere That’s Green

[based on a post I made about Eddie’s future]

It’s a hole in the wall just off the main drag, the kind of place you can’t find unless you know to look. In a previous life it had been a pizzeria, which explained the bright green vinyl awning Eddie had no intention of replacing. He’d kept the pick-up window, too, used it to host “office hours.” (“Office hours” was supposed to mean “deliver personalized music recommendations to interested passers-by.” Now it means “help harried, double-parked parents reschedule music lessons.”) 

He’d also kept the apartment upstairs. They have a house now—a nice one, with a wrap-around porch and a big backyard and a cluster of hedges Steve always insists are “a mess”—but when Eddie trips into an inventory hole and loses track of time, it’s nice to have a place to crash. If it’s not a school night sometimes Steve joins him, and they’ll relive the halcyon days of their early twenties, buoyed by cheap beer, diner curly fries, and giddy infatuation. (The infatuation has only grown and flourished even as his tolerance for salty food has withered. Acid reflux is a bitch.)

He’s happy they kept the apartment. He happy knowing that if someone needs it—someone scared, broke, desperate for a lifeline and a scrap of no-strings-attached kindness—it’s something he can provide. 

Initial plans had been to focus on music, just music. It was supposed to be the utopic all-metal record store of Eddie’s nightmares.  But as he started to build stock, he remembered how hard it had been to find merch for the things he liked. How a pin or a patch or poster he’d dug up at a garage sale four towns over made him feel more seen than anything on offer at the local mini-mall. How he wanted to be a hub for the weird shit not everyone liked, but the people who did loved. His horrible little magpie brain fluttered from shiny thing to shiny thing, and by the time opening day rolled around the store was a one-stop shop for all things music, merch and whatever wacky knick-knacks tickled Eddie’s fancy. Or horrified Steve. Or both. Both was best.

The Corroded Coffin guys slotted in easily. Francis always liked doing promo for their gigs, was good at it, too. But by the early 2000s, his methods were apparently so outdated his daughter begged to let her take over. (“He’s stapling fliers to telephone poles, Uncle Eddie. You don’t even have a website.”  

“What is a telephone pole covered in fliers if not the working man’s web-ed site?”

“Oh my God give me your credit card I’m buying you a domain name.”

“A what?”)

Jeff got his CPA and took over the financials, reeling Eddie in whenever he was struck by the urge to make a impulsive, outlandish purchase. (“I genuinely don’t understand how you make money.” 

“It’s cause I don’t do my taxes.”

“I do your taxes. At a great personal expense.”) 

Gareth was instrumental (heh…) in building up the music program—soundproofing the basement and hiring instructors and coordinating concerts and organizing payment plans, all the nitty-gritty non-music stuff that made Eddie’s head spin. At some point it just made the most sense for Eddie to cede control, let him operate it however he saw fit. (“This is your baby, dude. It’s a baby that took form within my own, much larger baby. But it’s yours.”

“I’m touched by your words and appalled by your phrasing.”

“That’s the only way I could have said it.”) 

(Gareth also once described the store as an “Elevated Hot Topic.” Eddie still hasn’t decided when he’s going to kick his ass.)


Momentum grew. Ideas compounded ideas. A kid asked how to sew a patch to his backpack and it snowballed into the Build Your Own Battlevest Workshop. Wayne suggested knocking out the connecting wall between the walk-in freezer and the pantry, and now thrice weekly Eddie runs table-top games for varying age-sets and skill-levels. (At Steve’s request, the elementary school group is called H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS FIRE CLUB. Not because he thinks it needs to be censored. He just thinks it’s funny.)  (He’s right.)

It was supposed to be a record store but now it’s so much more. Now there are listening parties and movie screenings and little league teams with his store’s name on the back of their jerseys and and and—

Eddie used to think, if he got lucky, he’d last a year. Now he’s closing in on 30. He was profiled by the local newspaper. They called him “a pillar of the community.”

Wild. 

It’s a warm, sunny April morning. He’s sitting at the takeout window, sipping coffee from the bottom half of a teapot-teacup combo that reads, in a menacing blood-red font, THIS FREAK DRINKS TEA. His hair is gathered in a loose braid, the ends still damp from his post-run shower. (Sometime in their mid-thirties Steve tricked him into maintaining a consistent cardio routine, and now he’s the type of person who gets out of bed at the crack of dawn to knock out an “easy three.” He’s a monster, a husk of his former self. A husk with a much-improved lung capacity and thighs that can juice a watermelon but nonetheless HUSK.) The middle school is about a half mile from the shop; he pulls faces at all the students filtering past. (Steve’s kids, current and former, refer to Eddie exclusively as Mr. Munson’s Husband. It never fails to thrill him.)

He’s leaning back to flip the record piping through the store’s speakers (“Dustin I don’t care if it’s ‘easier’ to ‘create a Spotify account,’ whatever that means. We play vinyl only! Let me be pretentious about this one thing!”) when he hears a meek, polite cough coming from just beneath the window. He peers out and on the sidewalk stands a girl. She’s small, too little to be one of Steve’s. She clutches the strap of her backpack, blue eyes huge with nerves and determination. 

“Hail and well met, weary traveler!” He’s speaking in what Steve calls his Dork Voice, the slightly tuned-down version he uses to put shy kids at ease. “How might I be of assistance?” The girl purses her lips, sets her shoulders, shakes her shaggy bangs out of her face. Eddie thinks suddenly of Nancy and Robin and his heart clenches.

“Do you like games?” She asks.

He smiles softly. Drops the act. “Yeah.” He rests his scarred cheek in the cradle of his palm. “I like games. Do you like games?”

The dam breaks.

“Yes!” She replies at once, breathless with enthusiasm. “My family plays a lot of board games, like Game of Life and Monopoly, and they’re okay but kind of boring, but my brother taught me how to play Settlers of Catan and I really liked that, and my friends and I played Werewolf at a sleepover but we made up a bunch of extra rules to make it harder, and my cousin showed me this video game where the ending changes based on what choices you make and that’s so cool—”

“Alright, slugger.” Eddie can’t help but laugh. “What game are you looking to play?”

The girl collects herself. “Okay,” she says. “Okay, so. So I like it in games where there are rules, but also you can make stuff up? And you can do something weird that might ruin everything but also might pay off? And sometimes you have to work with other people to accomplish your goal, but alliances can break?” Eddie nods. “So there’s this one game. It sounds like so much fun, but nobody I know plays it. They play it on this show I like, well, okay, it’s not really a show, it’s, uh, okay do you know what a podcast is?” Eddie beams.

Steve swapped study hall coverage so he could pop in for lunch. Tonight is parent-teacher conferences, which means Steve’ll be home late, which means Eddie will get absorbed in a project and either crash upstairs or stumble home well after Steve’s gone to bed, which means they’ve got to snatch the time together they can get. They split a sandwich, a salmon burger from Costco Eddie threw in the air fryer and smashed up with avocado and grilled poblano pepper. (”It’s heart healthy!” “You’re heart healthy.” “Aw.” “I meant that as an insult.” “I’m not taking it as one, mwah mwah mwah.”) Eddie eats too fast, as he often does, and drags his nails over the veins of Steve’s forearm to distract himself from his gastrointestinal tract turning inside out.

“🎶Myyyy babyyyy myyyyyy babyyyyyy,” he hums against the shell of Steve’s ear. “You’reeee my babyyyyy sayyyy it to meeeeee🎶.” “Alright,” he huffs, tapping his fingers to the knobby bone of Eddie’s wrist. He presses a kiss to the underside of Eddie’s jaw and rises. “I gotta get back.” He slings his messenger bag over his shoulder, gathers the papers he’d promised he’d grade but didn’t. Eddie watches him readjust, watches him smooth down the salt-and-pepper hairs dusting his temples, watches him push his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He catches Eddie watching and asks, slyly, “What?”

Eddie wants to say, I love you. He wants to say, you’ve made me happier than I ever thought I could be. He wants to say, I’m so grateful I built this life with you. 

But he’s still himself, so what he says is, “Those khakis make your ass look great.”

Steve scoffs, and with a bitchy eye roll he sinks his weight onto his back foot and says, “I KNOW,” and there he is. There’s the man he married. He looks over his shoulder before he leaves, his honey-warm eyes liquifying Eddie’s spine.

“Hey,” he murmurs. “I love you too.” Eddie kisses him and kisses him and kisses him.  Pretty good life.

the wind masterlist is empty, and it’s also the only one. So let’s fix that!

thanks to @litrllyvoid for the suggestion!

Wind & mer!reader (platonic)

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Tridents and Trinkets

After so long of sailing, wind had thought he’d seen everything. Magic, massacres and men turning into boats he found it hard to be genuinely shocked to the point where he was enraptured. But you, defiant as ever, changed that. He remembered the days prior to meeting you being as normal as ever, sailing and adventuring as expected. Tetra had docked the ship at an unfamiliar harbour, on the opposite side of where most ships would usually. The waters here were calm and crystalline, but untraveled. The ordeal struck him as odd, but not worth questioning. The crew still ran for supplies and traded off what they needed to without issue. The day was so successful that they all saw no need to leave before sundown, docking overnight. But Wind could not sleep, something tugged in the back of his mind, urging him to stay awake. He leaned over the railing and stared down into the water, moonlight scattering across its surface as waves lapped at the hull of the boat. Something moved within the water, disrupting its flow, something larger than your average fish. He leaned further over the bannister to get a better look, getting a glimpse of iridescent teal scales, nearly breaking the surface before retreating into the waters. Figuring there was nothing better to do, he snuck off ship and sat on the very far edge of the dock, keeping a close eye on the water. It took him a few minutes before catching you, peering curiously at him a decent ways away in the water. He dug out a small necklace in his pocket, the pearl pendant gleaming in the moon. It was supposed to be for Aryll, but he had more than enough money to buy another, or find something equally as shiny. Right now, there was a person in the water, and he was determined. He held out the small, shining necklace, offering it out to you. You slowly eased closer, fingers wrapping around the shining pendant, the glimmer reflecting in your eyes. Wind meanwhile, was studying you curiously, shimmering scales in patches on your arms and gills on your neck. And of course, the smile you sent him with sharp teeth. He smiled cautiously in return, finding it within himself to not be scared. You dove back into the water hastily, and he felt the wonder in his mind retreat. He stood slowly and walked back to shore only to be stopped by a loud clicking noise. He turned to see you, propped up on the dock, holding out a shimmering set of earrings. They certainly looked to be expensive, but he doubted you minded much, considering you lived in the sea. He took them gratefully, and returned to the ship, no less tired than when he left.

It was weeks before you’d met, and the memory faded. With the constant flow of adventures, merfolk were a surprising and welcome addition, but incredibly, incredibly uncommon. The ship struggled to keep its way as something in the water tried to attack them. It lurched for the ship, trying to tear out boards and people alike. They were putting up a hard fight, but for the first time in a long time, Wind felt as if they might not win. The thought was shoved back harshly as he jumped into action. A trident soared out of the water, embedding itself in the monster’s head. A lightning strike followed soon after. And it was dead. The crew flocked to the side of the boat in confusion. And most of them would be left without answers. But Wind knew better, the sight of the familiar necklace and shimmering scales making his mind out two and two together.

He asked Tetra about it later, the merfolk. And her answer, be it vauge, was enlightening.

“Some merfolk” She started “make deals with sailors, allowing them passage through the water in exchange for fish and other resources of the sort. But a few take other things such as food, potions or jewellery as pacts or favours. Why, what’d you do?”

“I didn’t do anything”

“Liar”

“Ok maybe I did” Tetra’s face was that of unamusement, expectantly looking at him. He sucked in a breath “i may have accidentally made a deal with a merperson”

“What was that?” He sighed, his shoulders hanging “I may have accidentally made a deal with a merperson”

“And?” she motioned for him to go on

“That’s it.”

“That’s it? I thought you- I don’t know? Killed somebody” She laughed in exasperation, not even stopping as he admitted guilt. He sputtered.

“Wh- Me? No” She laughed even harder and he left, sitting on the information he was given. Well it seemed he’d made a deal with a mer… who had a trident and could apparently smite people. Sick.

It was a little less than two weeks when he found you again, albeit under significantly worse circumstances. You’d been caught, your fins curled in the stiff rope of a fishing net, shivering in fear and sputtering, trying to breathe. The two fishermen that caught you laughing among themselves as you were fading. He took their distraction while he had it and carefully cut the rope, caring little for the integrity of the net. He grabbed your limp body and silently prayed that you weren’t dead before putting you back in the water as carefully as possible. Your head poked above the surface and stared back at him, that same beaming smile of sharp teeth before ducking back under the water.

It was more often now that he caught you trailing the ship whenever they were near your water, and swapped trinkets and treasure. He hadn’t meant to make a deal with you, but perhaps this was one of the better mistakes he’d made.

Clones: Love Languages (Part 2!)

I've been incorporating a lot of other clones into my writing recently. Some from requests, some from my own curiosity. It can be a challenge to tap into a character that maybe only got a few brief moments of screen time, but I end up having so much fun with it, and I'd love to explore more of their personalities!

So, let's start with some good ol' fashioned love languages shall we? 😇

Keeli: Quality Time. Likes to schedule time with his loved ones, like date nights or weekend getaways. It helps him get rid of distractions and be more purposeful in giving them attention. Gets annoyed when his company texts someone else or otherwise gives attention to their holo-pad and not him.

Neyo: Acts of Service. Would rather do things himself so they get done right, and that urge becomes stronger when he's around his partner. Doesn't want them to lift a finger. Also likes to cover the cost of things, like a meal, a piece of jewelry, or even the utility bill. Says "it's on me" and never accepts reimbursement.

Blackout: Physical Touch. Is quiet and standoffish at first, and doesn't seem to be the touchy-feely type. He reserves all his touches for the few people he truly, deeply cares for, including his romantic partner. He thinks it's weird to get physically close to someone who is only an acquaintance or casual friend.

Gregor: Acts of Service. The first one to show up at a friend's house in a time of need, looking for things to do to help lighten the load. Continually checks in on everyone so they're taken care of. Romantically, he's the king of understated acts like pulling his partner's feet into his lap for a massage.

Howzer: Quality Time. Can create special moments of out seemingly nothing. Steals them away from a social gathering to admire the view, finds a way to make them laugh during a stressful time, takes a few extra minutes to hold them close and wish them a good morning. Sharing time even in small ways is enough for him.

Thorn: Acts of Service. Runs all the errands. He honestly would love nothing more than to get a text on his way home asking him to pick up some random item. He can always roll with the punches and find a creative solution to an unexpected problem, soothing his partner's worries with his swift attention.

Hound: Physical Touch. Always has a hand on his chosen person. On their lower back, across their shoulders, in their hair.... Finds it comforting if they do they same in return. He needs to explore the physical side of things with someone first, as much as they are comfortable with, before he can make more long-term commitments.

Mayday: Words of Affirmation. Recognizes and acknowledges effort. Even if it isn't perfect, or a big deal, he'll still say thank you or good job. He constantly texts his friends and loved ones throughout the day, just random little thoughts he has to share. He'll be incredibly grumpy if he doesn't have such an outlet.

Gree: Gift Giving. Really big on holidays, anniversaries, etc. He'll buy things year round that remind him of people, or that he thinks would generally make great gifts, and he'll keep them on standby for whatever occasion comes up. Also big on thank-you gifts as well, as they express more gratitude than what he can say with words.

Waxer: Physical Touch. Physical boundaries seemingly don't exist for him. He's always standing or sitting close to someone, clapping them on the back or socking them in the arm. And he's never shy in giving hugs. With a partner he somehow gets even closer, drawn to them like a clingy magnet.

Boil: Words of Affirmation. May be quiet at times, or even come across a bit grumpy, but he actually does love hearing people talk. The best active listener; makes his loved ones feel heard and usually remembers what they share so he can follow up on the topic later. Asks questions because he's genuinely curious what others think. 

Wooley: Gift Giving. He's like a crow, finding shiny objects to take back to the nest. He can't go anywhere without bringing something back for other people. It's usually small gifts, little trinkets and tokens picked up along the path of life. Or it'll be additions to a collection he knows his loved one's been searching for.

Random but I think you should know I suddenly started really loving Cyrus and I'm attributing this started because of you lol. I read one thing you wrote about him and it was over.

Now I'm constantly thinking about him. Especially any hybrid Cyrus ideas. Many many thoughts..

You ever consider hear me out. Honchkrow hybrid Cyrus. I'd want to run my hands through his feathers so bad. Help him keep them lookin' pretty and healthy.

Also please picture whether he wants them too or not Murkrow just swarm and follow him whenever he leaves his house.

Just.. pretty bird man. (ノ•﹏•) ノ

I've joked about him before (with he, Larry, and Volo making the Sinnoh bird trifecta), but I don't think I've ever given him any real thought.

He is so utterly flustered by his instincts and desperately tries to ignore them. Cyrus is meant to be intimidating, not making nests and trying to collect shiny objects. Granted, he doesn't mind collecting the screws from the latter activity. It is just embarrassing how easily something sparkling catches his attention. Needing to take so long in order to manage his feathers is utterly embarrassing, too.

All these behaviours only get worse with the presence of a mate. Poor guy now cannot resist his nest building urges, and his bed is transformed into something cosy. Your hand gently going through his feathers and readjusting and smoothing them out becomes a horrible comfort to him, and he hates how certain sounds just start escaping him. Working long hours may suddenly become more common as he desperately tries to distance himself from these feelings, but he will eventually return. Your aid in preening his feathers lets him escape for a while. He also starts unconsciously buying double servings even when he's eating alone to account for you. He just stares at his two burgers in minor horror.

Murkrows may flock to him for protection or just to seek leadership. There is something strange he feels as he stares at the small bird pokemon chirping at him for food. The way they stare at him reminds him of his grunts, and he tries not to give that too much thought. His poor apartment is surrounded my Murkrows, ultimately. They favour him too much. (It drives rent down, too.)

About the NSFW alphabet, let's say... could you do D, H and T for any character you'd like? Think of this as a "free space round". :)

A/N: I decided that I was going to do maybe one character from each….genre(wtf do I call this) well not each so maybe this post will have maybe like 3 or 4 characters? I chose Haley(from stardew bc Abigail was the only bachelorette requested), Montgomery Gator(from Fnaf SB), Bubba (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Mary (Dream Daddy).

Tw: sexual content

Alphabet Post Masterlist

Haley

D-Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

She daydreams constantly. Like in the middle of brushing her hair, taking photos, talking to people. When she gets that glazed look in her eyes just know she’s daydreaming about getting railed into next week. Does not feel bad for daydreaming either, the person she is talking to should’ve been more interesting. She also tends to incorporate kinks she is curious about in her daydreams to try and predict if she would like it or not. Gets upset when reality isn’t like her daydreams because she spends so much time perfecting what’s happening in her mind that she can’t control in real life.

If asked what she’s thinking about she’d probably say shopping or fashion just because she doesn’t want people to know that she does have those urges. She has an image to maintain.

H-Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

I think she is either clean shaven/waxed or she has her hair cut into like a heart or something. It’s a preference for her because she doesn’t like the feeling of pubic hair. Doesn’t think it’s dirty, just doesn’t like it on herself. Her pubic hair is blonde but slightly darker and paler(less saturated? Idk how to explain my thoughts). It isn’t as blonde as the hair on her head and isn’t as shiny. It’s very curly and when she can’t shave she makes sure it’s soft.

T-Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Definitely!! I think she has a small box of toys that she uses on herself and will request that you use them on her during sex. Before dating she was much too lazy to go into the city to find someone to hook up with, and the times that she hooked up with Alex she didn’t enjoy half the time so she bought herself toys to use for when she’s pent up. When she starts dating you however she finds that incorporating them into sex is fun and would probably go as far as buying cute toys for both of you to use that she keeps in a separate box.

Montgomery Gator

D-Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Goes back and watches the recordings of things he finds interesting. If your ass looked particularly nice or if you haven’t been around in a while he’ll replay videos of the last time you two had sex or if you did or said something that made his heart soar. He will never admit that sometimes he uses his recordings for dirty and wholesome purposes, he needs everyone to think he’s tough.

H-Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Absolutely none he is an animatronic alligator. He is as smooth as metal can be, but I do think of he was a human man his would be cut into a small bush and it would be black like what I think his natural hair color would be.

T-Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

No. The man(gator) lives in a pizzaplex surrounded by workers and children. Would have no way to get toys unless he got it delivered by Amazon for something and theres always a possibility of him getting caught. He might be a bad boy type guy but I don’t think he likes getting in trouble. And I think he would have no need for them. HOWEVER if you’re dating him you have a better chance of sneaking toys in if you want to use them. He might be insecure about you wanting to use them at first but is always willing to help you feel good so he would use them on you.

Bubba Sawyer

D-Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He steals panties. I think he’s in charge of butchering the victims, and a lot of the time he swipes their panties before he gets to work. Seeing how the family reacts to sex and relationships I think this secret is one that he keeps to himself pretty well even though I don’t think he’s good at keeping secrets at all. He keeps the panties in a drawer down in the basement and it’s pretty safe seeing as no one really goes down there for anything except for him.

H-Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Dude has a freaking jungle on him ngl he doesn’t shave or maintain it at all. He allows it to grow wild on him and unless you say something about how you prefer it he’s going to continue to let it do what it wants. His pubic hair is dark brown, similar to the hair on his head. It’s very curly and rough because he doesn’t groom it very well. Good thing is the hair doesn’t get too long because it breaks off at the ends often.

T-Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Dude probably doesn’t even know they exist. Like ngl I know he doesn’t get out much to experience ANYTHING and Drayton seems like the type that he wouldn’t allow those things in the house. So Bubba sadly has no toys to use or to use on you, because let’s face it if you’re in a relationship with him there’s no way you got there on your own. Closest thing he’s ever had to a sex toy is like a stuffed animal that he dry jumped against once then felt so bad about it that he trashed it immediately.

Mary Christiansen

D-Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Even though she’s never cheated, she used to fantasize about cheating on Joseph to let him know how it feels even though she doubts he would care. She would just like to see the look on his face when he realizes that like him, she went outside of their marriage to find pleasure. If they end up getting divorce and she ends up with you, she now think about how shitty he must feel knowing that you get her all to yourself and that you can actually treat someone properly. Like you’re just better than he is and that makes her feel as if she’s getting revenge in some way.

H-Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

I feel like she doesn’t bother with shaving at all. Like she trims it so it doesn’t get too out of control, but she doesn’t make the effort to full on shave the bush off. Doesn’t really care or need to, she’s a grown woman that knows how to manage herself and her hygiene, and after getting used to having hair than not after having kids she is fine with it. I think her pubic hair is dark brown and curly. It’s not too thick at all which makes it easier to manage.

T-Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

I honestly do not think Joseph would want her to have toys. It would cause him to go into a rant or whatever so she probably only has a vibrator that she hides from him and uses when he’s out of the house. If they do divorce and she ends up in a relationship with you I think she would be happy if you were willing to use them on her, and she would be happy to use them on you. I don’t know if she would buy any more though, maybe if you take her to a toy store.

[nonaonann]

Giving Some of my own Traits (and one of my siblings') to These Dorks Just cuz:

Dick Grayson

Has the urge to grab/buy anything blue (it's like a crow instantly getting their interest piqued by something shiny).

Puts Nesquik strawberry syrup and Nesquik banana milk powder into Fruity Pebbels, Lucky Charms, etc.

Will pour ungodly amounts of sugar into Cheerios and corn flakes (one of my little siblings does this and it's horrifying to watch).

Will unironically say "diddly darn" and "frickity frick frack".

.

Jason Todd

Has an insecurity about cartwheels (Dick told him to do one when he was still Robin, and then laughed at him, and Jason still doesn't know why).

Prefers to tea to coffee.

Made up his own writing system because he was paranoid of people reading his diary and finding out his secrets (he doesn't have a diary).

.

Cassandra Cain

Has disproportionately small hands (Tim and Steph tease her for it).

Never really looked at herself in the mirror too closely, and then did and realized she has a small collection of really faint freckles on her face (like, you wouldn't be able to see them unless you were five inches away from her face).

Will sit in corners in complete darkness, unintentionally (sorta) scaring whoever passes by when they realize she's there.

.

Stephanie Brown

Forgets about her moles, and then sees one and tries to scratch it off before realizing it's a mole and not dirt or something. (Recently discovered she has a mole under her ear.)

Will buy something just because it's purple (she's so like me fr).

Laughs in the middle of panic attacks and just says no to herself in the mirror.

Loves taking candid pictures of her friends and family. (Also the one who people go to take pictures and videos of them for things like social media because she WILL explore those angels and get low to the ground if need be.)

.

Timothy Drake

Somehow always gets holes in his socks (and is bullied relentlessly for it by the people who are supposed to be his siblings).

Asks the most random questions. (Once asked, "Do you think if we both simultaneously exploded randomly, our intestines would get tabgled?" while cuddling with someone.)

Found a random hex nut and put a string through it and wears it daily as a necklace.

The person people go to for photos, but in the way people go to JC Penny's for photos.

.

Duke Thomas

Will look at a tree and say, "Bob Ross would so love to paint a tree like that."

Shows movie trailers to his family and then says no when they ask if he wants to see the movie together with them.

Likes to deny the obvious and say something outlandish because he thinks it's funny. ("Are you making waffles?" "No, I'm dancing and seeing visions of scary roosters.")

.

Damian Wayne

Will take a single question about whatever comic he's reading right now as an opportunity to lore dump everything about it, from the first chapter to the most recent.

When he was younger and new to the manor, he would dig up worms and look under rocks for bugs.

He occasionally gets a favorite animal fact and shares it with everyone regardless of if they ask.

Danny Phantom Headcanons

Technically he's 114 because at some point he got blasted 100 years into the past and decided after a day of having no idea what's going on (and figuring out the date) he found a cave and fell asleep and his ghost half was like, I got this and then he woke up at at dark the night before the fight. He incorporeal-ed out of the (now buried) cave and spent the day fully waking himself up (y'know how ghosts are usually at least a hundred years old, well that's because they need sleep and time to adjust to the whole ghost aspect and fully change, the hundred years of sleep made him feel better than he had since about a week after getting his powers, they also gave him a few new powers)

He is paler than he is in human form because death and all

Also he is slightly eldritch and because he is so powerful sometimes he forgets what humans look like and accidentally changes how he looks, he keeps having to ask how many teeth people usually have, or where joints are supposed to be, most of the time he can remember where and how many eyes he's supposed to have.

Also a personal head cannon of mine is that he is truely really eldritch looking in ghost form and uses his powers to make it look more human. (Seperate post: So Tim just stares for a moment and Danny goes visible and reveals a really powerful and definitively not human creatures wrapped up in a blanket and NASA pyjamas. He looks really cute with his hair all messed up and only two out of his fours eyes are open because he's tired.)

His true ghost form is bigger than both his human and ghost forms. In his true ghost form: all of his teeth are sharp and sometimes they stick out form his mouth (his mouth is bigger than it should be on a human), he's limbs are longer, his hands and feet are closer to claws, he has four eyes with no irises and (sometimes) slit pupils, his hair is the same just floaty, he barely ever walks and chooses to float (although he has legs; when he goes into the more ghost like floating one it looks more like a tail of a snake but no scales, it is much longer than in his ghost form and he often finds himself invisible wrapping himself around things he likes.) Probably more I haven't mentioned, creepy and other vibes.

^^^I've changed this, it isn't his true ghost form, just one of his forms

He is much more protective of pretty much everything once he became a half ghost. He has to fight the urge to investigate new arrivals into amity park (HIS town, HIS haunt) and if his family gets hurt it's game over for the villain and he is far less forgiving than if they had simply hurt himself.

The other ghosts and non-humans seemt to realise that amity park is his haunt (esspecially once he becomes the ghost king) so yeah. Once a small fraid needed refugee and they brought him gifts and pormised not to cause trouble, he agreed because he knows it's the right thing to do and also he really loved the gifts.

He has a small haunt in the ghost zone, it is pretty much a small decaying room but he fixed most of it up and added beanbags. He has newspaper pages about himself and/or the fentons and powerful ghost items hes had to fight.

He also has a lot of space stuff because he does't get much time to fulfil that obsession, always busy with his human life or protecting someone

He likes it there and often goes there to deal with more ghostlike urges or to heal if he doesn't want to worry Sam and tucker and others.

^^this is a lair not a haunt, you only have one haunt

Ghosts purr like cats? Hell yeah they do. Danny did it without realising for almost a year before Sam and Tucker pointed it out. They have tid-bits from other animals too, Danny has to fight the urge to steal or buy any shiny and brightly coloured objects, he really loves jewls. He hisses sometimes. This shows especially with ghost speak, it can sound so many different ways, like the whispering around a cursed object in a horror game, or like birds chirping and clicking to one another, it changes.

To him violence is more of fun and game thing, he understands it isn't to regular humans so he avoids it but he find he doesn't harbour grudes where he perhaps should because the violence doesn't seem all that big to him (for example doesn't care too much about Dash, but he HATES Vlad because he is protective and Vlad messed with his family)

He has four ages. For example when he was 15:

As far as the humans around him know, he's 15

Biologically he's 115 because of the long nap

Because of time travel shenanigans with clockwork he has appeared all throughout time so history wise he is as old as time

He's only been a ghost for 1 year so you could say he's one year old

He died when he was 14 so he could be fourteen

The urge to bite to show affection, not like sexually or anything. But bite ankles, legs, arms, and sometimes neck or hands.

Very clingy when tired. (Totally not projecting)

Blushes green with star and planet and comet and ect freckles.

The way into his heart is gifts. He cannot handle grand gestures so this is mainly food and shiny things you'd find on the side of the road then clean. (Paulina and some other girls once found this out. It was shared lunch in school and they got thrown into the ghost zone, Danny found them but was hesitant on inviting them to his haunt because it's his, and so they offer him some of the food because not offering would be rude. Then one of the girls mentions she had some old jewellery where the jewels fell out and was she holds up this bag the sparkles and he says he'll take them and then decides that they can come to his haunt.)

Also psychical touch, head pats, arm holding. He is akin to a cat and cannot fight the instincts to curl up around you and purr.

Autistic. (Also trans)

You know how ghosts and ectoplasm are kinda non-solid and in some cases can be moulded? Well Danny is too. He finds this out because he was in the forests looking at this really pretty butterfly and suddenly the rings come, he freaks out because he wasn't trying to go back to human but then he sees his hand and realises he's still ghost? So he finds a pond and he has beautiful butterfly wings that are black and white and green (the green parts glow!) and antennae! And so he focuses and transforms back to ghost and so he does this a lot now (Danis favourite is this one spiky lizard she found, she had spikes that looked up through her hair, claws and a tail and thought it looked awesome! Dan however only did it once and secretly really like it, he saw a cool glowing mushroom and without realising parts of his human skin disappeared to reveal a soft green glow beneath them)

He loves scaring people but can only do it to assholes because moral compass (so asshole politicians coming home after partially cruel cases, people who are rude to staff at places Danny likes, ect.)

Dan doesn't have a new body. He worked on morals and slowly changed from evil ghost looking to just having really pale skin, white hair, fangs, and red eyes. He loves grey hoodies.

^^^Okay this has changed now that I've read AGIT so I'll update it soon. Pretty much his ghost forms and human forms mix quickly and he only has one form, but when he gets mad he looks like evil dan and if necessary he can manage to look human for a while.

Okay so he does have a human body, he has Dannys clone. But it feels wrong to him, eventually he mixes his two forms, he was white hair that doesn't fire which he keeps tied back in a pony tail but still has a puffy-over-his-face part like Dannys, you know what I mean. He was the build and body of a 30ish year old man who isn't strong, but still works out enough he's not weak. His skin is pale and slightly discoloured but enough to pass as human, this human illusion is absolutely destroyed when you look closer and realise his teeth are sharp (usually just fangs but sometimes all the teeth) and his eyes are red and glow slightly, not to mention the sense of other he radiates. If he gets mad or uses a lot of power he looks like how Dan did originally, buff, fire hair, red eyes, ect. If he absolutely has to look human he can, but it gives him headaches and it feels wrong.

VLAD. HAS. PINK. EYES. LIKE. HIS. POWERS.

Therefore Dans powers are red, not like Vlads pink ones or Dannys green ones, oh yeah and Danis powers are more of a nature green than a toxic green, this changes slowly over time as she begins to become her own person rather than just a clone.

Sams purple eyes (which GLOW sometimes) are the first sign of being ecto-contaminated she gets

Ghosts fight to show affection, Danny and Dani have scared so many people when they straight up stab eachother and arefighting like cats than laugh and hug and complement each other on their skills.

Danny Phantom is the Ancient of Space, Heros, and Protection (with protection and space also being his obsessions). He smells of Ozone and other space-like smells and no one quite understands how, he hums tunes that replicate stars exploding and/or dying, he is truely the embodiment of 'the longer you stare into the void the void stares back' because sometimes people see galaxies in his freckles, nebulas in his eyes, his body disintegrating and reforming in tiny portions, his skin shimmering like star dust, and the longer you stare the more you notice (his crown and regalia, more space stuff, ect).

Jazz is liminal and stronger than most of Amity Park (who are only Ecto-Contaminated in most cases), she can communicate feelings and things that words can't describe with Danny and other dead stronger than most of the other people in Amity as they are weak (compared to her at least) and she also figures out Ghost Speak. She also has constantly barely glowing eyes that go bright when she's really feeling strongly and she hovers a few inches above the ground sometimes on instinct but can't properly fly and while she can't go intangible she can do if it serious danger/full flight or flight response and adrenaline. Her life span will be about 50 years longer than normal and she will become a sentient ghost when she dies although only slightly above average on the power scale, her status as princess and under royal protection of the king himself (Danny) makes up for that.

Danny makes his own grave out of (I chnaged it from a star) ectoplasm which is near impossible to destory, also his rouges and many other ghosts defend it. It doesn't get broken ever because Clockwork also looks over it.

Danny can tell when people write about him and he can change it, nothing ghost writer level, but simple things like:

It's always white hair not grey

Sam and Tucker are always friends not minions or servents

No sacrifices

He doesn't even realise he's doing it, the cultists do though.

Danny just starts speaking in ghost speak. He's tired, it's exam season, there's a new ghost who's a real fruitloop, and it's getting harder to be human as he gets more tired.

He gives an entire speech in ghost speak, but it was on ghosts anyways so Mr Lancer was just impressed

On one of the nights he actually managed to get to sleep he got chased out of the house because he made a noise that no human should truely be able to when his parents tried to wake him up.

Being a ghost is in his nature now and it's getting harder to act normal, especially because he keeps forgetting about ghost empathy and that he really shouldn't know someone's feeling that way.

You know how todlers get teeth when they're two? Halfas do that with fangs (they can kinda of change what their fangs look like, mouth full of sharp teeth, vampire, normal human teeth, ect) but first they need to deal with all their teeth falling out and being replaced with sharp teeth and a jaw strong enough to cut almost every metal, it aches and aches and Danny is so sore.

Finds writing hard because those are solid words, ghost speak (which comes naturally and intuitively to him) is much closer to speaking with your emotions, if it could be called speaking. He had learnt engough english to be able to keep using it (even if he did start using older versions of english sometimes due to them being dead languages) but he had barely learnt to write before becoming a ghost, he can write he just can't really put what he's meaning to say in words.

Low spectrum autism

Has more than two forms but also can change in his seperate forms, for example he can function and look exactly like a normal human in a human form or he can also have fangs, or just a mouth of sharp teeth, and pointy ears.

Dan redemption arc becomes pyscopomp, souls meant to have died and in pain instead of dead he kills, takes a weeks break then uses clockwork to go to the start of the week and work for two weeks, then he has another break week and repeat.

When Danny gets strong emotions the floor freezes below his feet and he glows brighter (and some more stuff)

Green blush

Danny prefers the form of what you see in the cartoons because it's children friendly, and is basically his default form, but when exhausted he reverts to not his true form. The suit is a bit more chunky as there are layers made for radiation protection, it has a radioactive logo instead of his Danny Phantom logo (he chooses to change that normally) and one of the arms suit is blown off, his arm itself has lightning scars up it which to to his neck but thankfully not his face (they carry over to his human form sometimes, depends on his mood and a few other things) and the hand is blackened and charred with the bone showing around the wrist and on some of the fingers, he still feels pain in it and has to wear a compression glove sometimes, mostly in human form.

Danny, ice core, protectors core, space core, this mostly depends on your headcanons and/or the story you place him in.

Dani, water core (prefers fresh water and the life within it but can make and/or control water as saltly as her soul) she also has control of weather like Danny did for that one episode (loves making tropical rainstorms in the middle of the ocean). Dani gets droplets of water on her skin like condensation like how sometimes Dannys skin freezes over.

Dan, fire core, but cold fire, the type that burns because it's too cold, the type that makes you think your safe but is burning you, he also has a little control over lightning and storms, if he tries really hard he can make them go away but they also come naturally when he's mad or angry

Jazz not liminal enough to have a full core but her liminal-ness allows her to be able to understand ghost speak, hear and feel other people cores, ghost empathy (not to mention floating an inch of the ground sometimes, eyes flashing or glowing and reflecting light in ways humans shouldn't, too many teeth sometimes, just a little wrong)

Most strong emotions result in Dannys: eyes glowing brighter, body glowing brighter, starts speaking in ghost speak (either from emotions getting hold of him and him wanting to rant or English not being able to capture what he's saying right or being beside himself with rage or ect), floats off the ground a little, ground freezing around him and everything he touches,

Strong emotions like hopelessness and giving up result in: eyes going dim and being almost blue, the light he glows with flickering like a drowning torch, speaking in a mix of ghost speak and English but keeps tripping over his words (if he can talk at all, screaming, sobbing, speechless, ect), probably can't fly, frost and cold leaks out of him he can't control it his environment goes subzero and gives anyone who touches his ice gets echos of what he's feeling also the ice is dangerous instead of just cold dangerous

Ghost instincts

By the time Danny gets his apartment, he has labels all his foods, there are two major labels. If you look in his cupboards you will find half of his stuff is labeled norm which is written on white tape, and the other half have the word ecto on green tape, these are what 'species' the food is safe to eat for, norm meaning humans and ecto meaning ghosts (even though ghost can eat human food there's no need for the confusion of having ecto on all the human stuff, if ecto was a spice imagine this as levels of spice safe for different species, anyone can eat the bottom). There are a few smaller groups like Liminals need some ecto but can't have just straight ecto, so some containers have Liminal labels next to the ecto labels; there are also Contaminated labels people for ecto contaminated who can eat things a decently more contaminated than liminals can; those are all that really matter because halfas can eat just as much ecto as ghosts. There's also a white board in his room which he writes reminders on, there is a big sentence in the middle reminding everyone to eat both their daily needs of ecto and human food.

Ecto contaminated

People who've been around ecto, whether in a lab like Maddie and Jack or simply been around a lot of ghiost attacks like the entirety of Amity Park. There aren't really any side effects (none obvious ones anyways) apart from the fact that your used to ecto; eating some won't kill you even if it's not good, you don't get weirded out by ghosts, liminals, or death touched that aren't quite human anymore, and ghosts in general seem just a little more intuitive.

Liminal

Liminals are a step up from ecto contaminated, people who have contact with ecto often like Jazz, Maddie and Jack were wearing hazmat suits which were just enough to keep them from becoming liminal. Side effects of liminals are: eyes that relfect light like cats and sometimes glow, unconsciously floating a few inches above the ground, needing to have just a little ecto (one meal of ecto contaminated food every week works if they can't be in a place with enough ambient ecto), live longer and age slower, they have weak cores that can have their colours (Jazz is orange) but they can't have core types, pointy ears and sharp teeth occasionally. Ther are also personal side effects, you can have a lot or a little of these, Jazz gets ghost empathy for example as she wants to be a therapist.

Death touched (Sam and Tucker)

Death touched are like liminals, but closer to being a halfa than just a strange human. You can't be both a liminal and a death touched, it's one or the other. Death touched happen because they came close to death, this can happen in multiple ways, someone might kills thousands of people or be so surrounded by death (even if they didn't cause it) that they become a death touched. Death touched can also be created by coming close to death themselves, maybe they nearly die (or do die) but are miraculously saved or brought back, a stab victim somehow surviving, someone's heartbeat brought back at the last possible moment; they can also survive, an acrobat who hesitated and didn't grab the broken equipment, a rock climber who managed to grab another rock and stop themselves from falling to their death, things like that create a death touched. Sam and Tucker are Death Touched because of being so close to Danny and nearly getting killed so many times because of it, Sam decided Danny would go in the portal first, the events of Undergrowth and Freakshow and Dan. Death touched have powers, they can use basic ghost powers like intangibility, flight, invisibility, ectoblasts, but it takes a lot of effort and it's hard to train, they also have stronger personal powers which are normal ghost strength rather than weak (Sam can control plants, Tucker's a technopath and can summon sand because of the whole reincarnation thing), they have weak cores but their cores can have types and colours (Sams core is a dark purple plant core).

Halfa

We all know what halfas are, like any 'levels' of ghosts they can be more or less powerful, they also died in a ghost portal or somewhere else where they were blasted with ecto as they died (they can also just half die or be revived wrong, but portals are the main reason). The basic thing is: they have both human and ghost stuff equally, a liminal might need to have some ecto to be alright ad be able to mainly eat human food but a halfa would need a normal amount of both, or humans need to breath or have a pulse but they don't have too and can silence their cores (and therefore ecto signatures) to levels that would kill a ghost, they have both obsessions (a ghost need) and need to have social contact (a human thing), this can differ depending on your head canons/which au this is in and which halfa we're talking about but that's the basics.

Ghost (ember)

Write stuff here! Died and became a ghost, not much to it, more powerful ghost can leave the ghost zone, everyone becomes a ghost, a ghosts memory or their human life can range from none to every detail, etc.

Neverdeads (clockwork)

Write stuff here! Ghosts who never died and kinda just popped into existence or were born, never died but are ghosts.

While Danny died to electricity, he also had radiation and ectoplasm (all three of which killed him and then revived him (the electrify doing most of the killing the the ectoplasm most of the reviving)) and Danny did not in fact pass out, he was stuck in limbo for 5ish minutes then fell to the ground, arm charred and with Lichtenberg scars, while puking a mix of ectoplasm, blood, and the stuff he'd eaten and drank the last day.

True ghost form has black scalera (the white part of eye) and he changes it for kids to be lest scared

A haunt

A ghosts territory, theirs to protect/rule/dictate depending on the ghost. Like Danny and Amity Park.

A lair

A ghosts house, it might not necessarily be their haunt even though sometimes it is. Overall it's like a second haunt, but only for them, it's almost always in the ghost zone. Like Skulkers island or Clockworks tower, or Pariahs castle/keep (even if technically it's the high kings). Danny doesn't have one yet but I'd imagine he gets one shortly after accepting he's the ghost king.

A nest

Almost like a bed, either in a ghosts lair or their haunt. It's almost always just one room (often a bedroom), it's a place to be comfortable, to be theirs, where a ghost will feel the most safe. I can't think of an example for this.

[shxtodxroki]

Hi, i hope doing good. Can i have a match up for Mha please, any student is would good btw💐 I'm genderfluid, bisexual with male preference.I have long black wavy hair. I have thick black eyebrows, brown eyes. I always have rosy cheeks. My body is curvy with very big chest and little tummy. Also I'm 172 cm. I'm Libra also a Slytherin. My mbti Infp and my enneagram 5w4. I always have poker face. I find it difficult to express my feelings and prefer to isolate myself. My best feature is that I know a little about everything, I always surprise people. Those who know me for the first time describe me as cold, quiet, and distant. And they often think I can't speak and I'm deaf but I'm not. When I enter an environment, I listen to what people say and get to know them well, I decide if there is anyone worth talking to. I'm only close to two or three people. They describe me as cold, soft inside, calm, sarcastic, resourceful and knowledgeable. They say I make clever jokes and I'm the mom-friend. And i hate phsyical touch. My love language is words of affirmation. If I talk about myself, I've always been on my own. I have family problems, I was never close with my father. Even though we are side by side with my mother, we are distant. I'm just my own mom and dad. That's why I've always focused on academic achievement for salvation. And I think I'm very good at it. My hobbies are drawing, sewing, writing and researching, especially about mythology, cultures, history, fashion. I always wear my headphones and listen to music, i listen every genre. I like silence, soft colors, being alone, flowers (especially honeysuckle), spring and breeze. I don't like crowds, noise, children, loud talkers and shiny things. I always wear colorful clothes with floral prints. I also wear interesting earrings and different printed socks. And finally, I don't really have an ideal type. I love every person. I like the fact that there are different people.

Hi hi, thank you so much for sending in a match-up request and I hope you enjoy your result! :)

I’d Match You With: 

Katsuki Bakugo!

Reasoning:

You two are fundamentally similar people in a lot of ways that are important to a relationship, like preferred communication styles/love languages and similar traits that would help you understand one another as people. While you have your differences, you work together well as people, and you’d be able to understand one another as partners in a way many people wouldn’t be able to, which is why I think the two of you would be perfect together.

Headcanons About Your Relationship:

- Katsuki knows how you feel about crowds, and he knows that as a UA student and the winner of the sports festival he tends to attract crowds, but rest assured that he has absolutely no qualms about being assertive and getting people out of your way. He tries his best to avoid crowds altogether when he’s with you, but if people end up crowding him he has no problem yelling at them to, “Get the hell out of the way, you idiots!” for the sake of your comfort.

- As much as Katsuki likes to tease you for your bright colors and fun prints and jewelry, he’s actually very supportive of your style in his own way. If he sees a silly pair of earrings he knews you’ll like or something super bright and colorful that he can picture you looking amazing in, then he buys it for you without a second thought. He always just leaves his little gifts at the door of your dorm, too shy to outright admit that he secretly thinks your style is endearing but still wanting to show he cares in some way.

- Katsuki knows how it feels to have the instinctual urge to isolate yourself when you get upset, and he tries to help you in those moments however he can. He knows that he can't push you out of your comfort zone. After all, if anyone tried to force him to talk when he was in that mindset he knows he only get more angry, so he’s not taking that approach. But he will make you dinner and leave it with a knock on your door to ensure you’re eating, and he’ll wordlessly walk you to class with a comforting hand on your back or holding your hand despite his usual aversions to PDA. He’s not good with words, but he still wants you to know that he’s there to listen if you want to talk while still giving you the space you need. 

- With your love for sewing you're good at making more minor repairs to Katsuki's costume if he gets a scratch/rip in his shirt or something related to his fabric, and he appreciates it. He´ll get his suit professionally fixed if something major happens or his support items are damaged, but he hates talking to people he doesn't like (which is most people) unnecessarily, so he’s happy to have you to help him fix the minor damages so he doesn’t have to send his costume in every time something small happens. 

- Katsuki actually really adores and admires how intelligent and interested in research you are, he’s more than happy to listen to the new things you discover and learn each day and he finds your drive to learn new things in the areas you’re passionate about to be such a respectable trait. And he absolutely brags about it, he loves to tell everyone in your class how his s/o is “so much smarter than any of you nerds here.”

- Katsuki's incredibly thankful that your love language is words of affirmation, though he’d never admit that out loud. He’s pretty terrible with expressing his love through words, but a lot of the time, the only way he can truly feel loved and like he’s good enough is through someone saying that directly to him, and you’re amazing at showing him that you love him and think he’s more than amazing as a person and boyfriend in the way he needs. You know that he has a lot of self-image issues buried deep within him, and your words always manage to hit him right where he needs the reassurance the most.

- And Katsuki does have ways of showing you his love, though he does this more through acts of service and quality time. You’re one of the only people he genuinely enjoys spending time with, and thus he’s happy to spend the majority of his free time with you. He just enjoys being in your presence, it makes him feel at peace and like he doesn’t have to be on edge all the time. And he’s constantly cooking you food or helping you in whatever research you’re doing at the moment or helping you with your homework if you need, he’s very much a “show, don’t tell” kind of person. 

- Katsuki also enjoys listening to music with you. He sees how much you enjoy your music with how often you have your headphones on, so as your relationship progresses, he starts listening to your favorite artists and albums, so that music can be something you share. He’s not gonna lie to you and tell you he likes something if he doesn’t, but as you learn what he likes and what you agree on in terms of music tastes, you two make a shared playlist and are able to listen to music together when you cuddle in your dorms after a rough day of classes. 

Song For Your Relationship:

I just saw half dragon kazuha and I came sprinting because I'm so intrigued. Would he hoard shiny things or would he maybe hoard books or other things? Or maybe he just hoards his significant other and being possessive

oh he definitely does both. because canon kazuha doesn't hold material goods in very high regard, i think the same would kinda apply to half dragon!kazuha as well. after all, he's only half dragon -- the human part of him doesn't particularly care for items things like that, but like you suggested, he finds himself hoarding things like books or loose teas or pretty leaves that he presses between the blank pages of books that he can't stop himself from buying

and the same way he unintentionally hoards items, he also keeps you as close to him as possible without thinking. i think half dragon!kazuha is easier to make jealous, mostly because it's not exactly something he can control... he can control the way he goes about handling his emotions, but he can't not feel the urge to trap you in his arms and keep you there for an entire day.

kazuha only really becomes conscious of these things when you point them out, which makes him very self-conscious, by the way. he'll get quiet and hesitant as he actively tries to avoid falling into typical dragon behaviors, he'll look at you every so often as a means of checking if he's doing something he shouldn't be...

it's not that you don't want him to act like a dragon, it's just that he's fully aware of how those natural behavior patterns could negatively affect himself and what you may think of him, so he does his best to avoid it

Plastic Skies - Prologue

Figured I should try to give this old place some new material, and since a friend suggested I start a journal of my latest obsessionhobby, what better place than tumblr? So here’s a needlessly long and overly indulgent history of how I got into model aircrafts, with a record of each project, their individual challenges and the tools I learned to use to overcome them.

Or at least, the prologue to that:

The year is 199X, and I say that not out of privacy but because I can’t remember the exact year I built my first model. My brother and I had gotten into war toys at a young age, ably aided and abetted by our ex-military dad, who made sure we were always well-stocked on little plastic soldiers and tanks and ships and, of course, planes. Our budding fascination with that last one received a big boost thanks to PC games like Jane’s US Navy Fighters ‘97 and F22 Raptor (the Novalogic one), with their digitized English voices we barely understood and their amazing two-dimensional trees dotting the barely textured landscapes. And at some point, model kits entered the scene.

My memory’s pretty hazy on how exactly that happened. It’s possible that we just saw a couple of boxes sitting at the toy aisle next to GI Joe Extreme and Spider-Man TAS toys, and dad or mom indulged us. Another alternative is this models catalogue we ran into at our dad’s one time, a thick full-color volume absolutely brimming with cars and tanks and, yes, planes of every year, model and size. I remember that catalogue fondly. My brother and I divided it up in our imaginations, each one picking and choosing which models were theirs, even if we never actually held them in our hands. Good times, but again, hard to say if that was the catalyst.

What I do remember are the models themselves. My brother built a Saab Draken, an F-16, a big fat F-15 and a few others. I remember building a Concorde, an F-18 (one of those glueless snap-tite models), a Spitfire and a P-51 Mustang. I think there may have been an F-4 Phantom in there as well. Point is, we were fiending. Our fingers glued together so many times, it’s a small miracle that I still have fingerprints. But there was a not small wrinkle in our approach to the hobby: for whatever reason, neither my brother nor I ever actually painted the models.

Memory fails me again on the whys of this decision. It’s possible that we just didn’t know where to buy paints, since we got all our models at toy shops or supermarkets. It’s also possible that we simply figured out paints were too expensive, and were more than willing to settle for just gluing the models and calling it a day instead of bugging mom or dad for a surefire mess-creator. It’s even possible that we were simply intimidated by the herculean task of painting. I know I tried doing decals once and swore to never do it again. But for whatever reason, our room was slowly littered with gray plastic airplanes haphazardly put together with cheap glue, treated more like puzzles than models, toyed with until tailfins snapped and Sidewinder missiles were lost.

Years passed. Interests shifted. We got a PlayStation 1 to replace our venerable Sega Genesis, and since this was at the peak of games piracy in our country, we could buy four or five games with the money of a single plane kit. So after I was done with that P-51 (which I remember was the first time I’d tried doing the landing gears, a massive feat of courage for the time), I quietly hung up my glues and never built a model again for over two decades. I’d still walk past the occasional hobby shop along the way to school and looked at the flawless shiny Sabres on display, but I never felt an urge to jump back in.

And then Ace Combat happened.

My first contact with long-running arcade dogfight series Ace Combat had been watching my brother play AC3 on the PS1 ages ago. Years later, I bought him Ace Combat: Assault Horizon on the PS3 for his birthday. Plane games, I’d decided, were one of His Things, and just like with the models on the shop windows, I never felt the desire to intrude on his territory.

That all changed dramatically in August of this year. I’d been living alone for a good couple of years now and managed to upgrade my PC far beyond anything either of us had ever owned. I was (and still am) living large, buying games on a whim with no fear of system requirements or even price. Having long gotten everything I wanted, now I was happy to just grab things on sale whenever they popped up, curious new gems or old classics I’d never given a chance before. Then, on August 8th, Steam took me to a sale on Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, the latest entry in the series. It’d come out back in 2019 but had recently received a Top Gun-themed DLC pack. And funny enough, I’d just seen Top Gun: Maverick that week and enjoyed it quite a bit, so I figured, sure, why not?

I enjoyed Ace Combat 7 a lot more than Top Gun: Maverick. In fact, I enjoyed it a lot more than pretty much any other game I’d played so far in 2022. Call it a happy surprise, a revelation, a blast, whatever word you can think of, I promise it’s understating how deeply I vibed with this game. Everything from the gameplay to the story to the cool ass missions (Stealth infiltration ON A JET FIGHTER!) to the characters to the music, I was feeling it. I finished that game twice, then a third time to get all the hidden Aces, then a fourth time using a bright red MiG-21 armed only with machineguns because I was having THAT much fun.

And while I was playing through the campaign over and over, gleefully splashing bandits and dog-fighting thirty drones at the same time, something happened. One at a time, I found myself back in the cockpit of all those old planes from our creaky PC games and unpainted model kits. Falcons, Hornets, Raptors, they were all there, like old buddies I’d lost contact with, each one filled with hazy yet warm memories of sticky fingers and clicky keyboards. It felt like a reunion of sorts.

As I machine-gunned my way through giant airships like a time-displaced WWII fighter, a thought reached my head all the way up in the clouds it now lived in. A sudden desire to complete the circle.

I wanted to build models again. But this time, I wanted to do it right.

Living Dex Quest 2018—202?

I suddenly became possessed with the urge to record my progress like a week ago and wrote this in one day. Anyway, here's the goals, methods, hurdles, and current state of my living dex.

Goal

Obtain every single Pokémon of every stage and major form and put them in a single game (ultra sun or moon). Originally this goal was meant to update for each successive generation, but of course SwSh threw a wrench in that when it became the new standard to exclude certain Pokémon from being able to be transferred to certain games. I don’t want to pay for Pokémon home indefinitely, especially when I know it will eventually have its support cut just like bank, so I’ll just have gen 1-7 in a gen 7 game and gen 8 regional dex can stay in SwSh. Not sure I’ll do gen 9, I don’t even own SV and have no plans to.

Never really cared about the pokedex until I saw someone post a video of their living dex on here years ago, and a 5+ year quest was started. I really, really wanted to do it by playing a game from each gen and transferring Pokémon upwards in order to also have a complete regional dex in each game, thereby getting shiny charms where possible, but this is tedious and only practical if you have every game already. I used to.

Dealing with theft

In 2020, my progress was hindered when FRLG, DPPt, HGSS, XY, SUMO, USUM, two Nintendo ds, and more were stolen from me by my former roommate when I moved (everything listed above having a nearly or complete regional living dex on it as well as several long gone event exclusive mythical Pokémon). Five generations, hundreds of dollars, and those priceless mythical Pokémon, unobtainable in any game, lost instantly. To say this was demoralizing would be an understatement. I was slow to unpack my things after the move, so I was still finding out about new things that were stolen months after the fact. I was constantly reminded of a new “loss” every couple of weeks, as I was trying to get over it. I did not play Pokémon again for months, and I wasn’t sure I even wanted to try again.

I got a second wind when I realized I had another option apart from buying back FRLG and HGSS and replaying all four: get the majority of gen I and II pokemon from Pokémon colosseum and XD, which luckily were among the games that were spared. This didn’t solve the mythical Pokémon problem, but it was a lot cheaper and more appetizing than playing the same games again (I only had to buy a gamecube/gba cable). Of course it did mean a lot of time spent transferring Pokémon to RSE and breeding since you can’t really catch multiples of most Pokémon in colosseum/XD, but it was different enough from what I’d been doing before to be fresh and exciting, plus I’d never actually beaten those games before! I got to do something I thought I’d never care to do, get the Mount Battle Ho oh (can’t be nicknamed unfortunately), and catch Shadow Lugia as possibly the most badass instances of each of those Pokémon (imo).

Of course I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Pokémon colosseum extra disc containing jirachi, as a rare opportunity to get jirachi outside of an event. That disc is expensive nowadays and I don’t own it, and iirc jirachi was already available by that time in Pokémon go, so I figured it was overkill to get the disc. More on that later.

There are of course several Pokémon found in FRLG that I could not obtain between Colosseum, XD, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, but only one is exclusive to a single game…

So I did actually have to buy back Leaf Green, but I didn’t want to do a full play through twice to get both omanyte and kabuto, so I looked up how to speedrun it and did that for the first time ever. I won’t bore you with the details but it was casual as far as speedruns go, but I still completed the main story in only 16 hours, a record for me. In order to trade with RSE the game couldn’t stop at the credits so I had to do some of the sevii islands stuff, and that wasn’t too bad.

With gen I-III taken care of, it was time to start buying back games. I started with XY because I hadn’t replayed them the first time I completed their dex and hadn’t actually completed them since they came out, so it seemed like the most fun at the time. I wasn’t too enthused though because I didn’t find the games memorable, but to my surprise and delight they were actually really fun the second time around, perhaps in part due to my relatively new habit of planning teams ahead of time and sticking to pokemon I’ve never used before. I actually battled in set mode for once, and didn’t struggle too much. I’d still count them as the weakest in the core series outside SV perhaps which I haven’t played, but they’re fun enough that I actually have another play through planned just for fun soon. When it came time to play the opposite game for version exclusives, I lucked out: the copy of X I bought was already mostly complete, only one badge missing and with a (fairly balanced) team. One of them was even the fossil mon I hadn’t picked in Y, so I didn’t need to restart the game until it was time to get the third starter. I completed the game and got attached to the three Pokémon on that person’s team I hadn’t used before, a Slowbro named Meiklejohn, a Farfetch’d named Wilson, and an Aurorus named Hull, so they’ll be coming with me on my living dex quest, even though I already had a farfetch’d and slowbro.

But the real highlight of XY is of course…

The Vivillon Quest

As a kid I was never able to use GTS or anything because ds games required a WEP key to connect to wifi and my home wifi didn’t have that. I tried so many times to get it to work without understanding why it didn’t that I just assumed the 3ds wouldn’t connect either and so I never used online services with Pokémon except at friends’ houses. Anyway, at the time I was working on gen VI dex I was living in a rural area with no wifi or data, and the closest place to me with free wifi was a hotel a five minute drive away. So I drove to the parking lot of said hotel, tried connecting to their wifi, and lo and behold, not only did it work, but to that day (and this day as well) people are still on the gen VI GTS trading vivillons!

There are 20 patterns and each (aside from two event exclusives) are only obtainable in certain regions. It is possible to choose which region your 3ds is set to to a certain extent (limited by what overall region your 3ds is, IE JP, PAL, US, etc) but after that it’s one pattern per game. Manipulating this would be tedious and feel like cheating to me, plus I wouldn’t be able to get all the patterns this way anyway, so I caught ~30 scatterbug and evolved them into the not-at-all-uncommon High Plains pattern, then over the course of a week or two I drove to the hotel every night to scour the GTS for the patterns I needed.

Unfortunately most people putting their vivillons in GTS would specify which pattern they wanted in return and as I said, my native pattern is not uncommon. There’d be nothing stopping me from ignoring people’s requests and trading anyway, but I tried to respect their requests as id like others to respect mine (for the record, many, many people traded me their elegant patterns against my will, but whatever). In a few cases I did have to ignore those requests though as certain patterns were extremely rare and I was desperate lol.

A few I got off of the GTS, by trading with online passerby and frantically hovering over my vivillon box to try to communicate what I wanted, which was actually successful a few times. The last two (four) vivillon I got, sandstorm and I believe archipelago (as well as the two event patterns) i got due to tremendously lucky timing: I was playing close to international butterfly day (or something) and someone on reddit did/does a yearly vivillon giveaway on that day, taking requests for what patterns you need. Iirc they did do the 3ds region selection thing to get certain patterns which is not ideal but I feel like as long as they’re technically legitimate and I still had to trade for them, I’m satisfied with that. I did also accept a pokeball and fancy vivillon from them with the knowledge that they were cloned from legitimate event vivillon. Of course I’d rather have non-clones versions of those and I’m still not sure whether I’ll even transfer them upward, but it’s nice to have them anyway. I have no doubt that Pokémon go will eventually feature those two patterns and I won’t be able to transfer those back to USUM, so perhaps the clones can be my stand-ins.

The vivillon side quest may sound tedious but it was actually really fun and exciting, I loved interacting with what few (surprisingly many) people still cared about vivillon in 2021 when I did this, and it increased my appreciation tenfold for a Pokémon I never really cared for before. While it won’t be part of my living dex itself as it’s probably a clone, I even got a shiny savannah vivillon from one generous stranger! I’m thinking of using this in my next play through of X if I decide I want compound eyes for its ability.

Unfortunately for aspiring living dex collectors everywhere (or maybe just me), Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon each have an additional pokemon that is not available in the (story-wise) objectively superior games, Sun and Moon. Blacephalon and Stakataka. This is sad for me not just because I’d rather replay SUMO, but because I’d rather OWN SUMO. There’s no getting around it though (except maybe GTS, which ironically I didn’t think of) so I sucked it up and bought both of the “ultra” versions. I did have to play through to the post game of each to obtain the new ultra beasts, and I believe I spread these out between play throughs of other games to preserve my sanity.

A special little quirk of gen VII is that there is a lycanroc form that evolves from an event exclusive rockruff, BUT the evolution into this form is determined by rockruff’s ability. The nice thing about this is that people are wonderful and have bred many many more rockruffs with this ability and distribute them freely on GTS. This is actually an event pokemon I had myself back in the day, so it was a huge relief that people were so generous with their special rockruffs. In return, I bred a few extras of my own and sent them back out into the GTS wilds.

Another fun (real) little quirk of gen VII is the QR scanner. To this day, you can still obtain the mythical Pokémon Magearna by scanning the correct QR code, specific to your 3DS region! As well as, um, a partner cap pikachu, if you want it. Since my living dex is staying in USUM and I’m collecting all major form differences, I guess…I should include that…

Next up was gen IV, and I was a little bitter about having to play USUM instead of SUMO, so against my better judgment I bought platinum instead of Diamond or Pearl, even though BOTH Diamond and Pearl are necessary up to this point to get certain version exclusives. Joke’s on me; I had to replay all three anyway, at least up to the point that glameow and stunky became available. For this reason there was about a two year gap between my platinum and pearl playthroughs. I also played Diamond somewhere in the middle there; a friend of mine (hi Ryan) very generously gave me his copy of Diamond so I didn’t have to buy back that one.

At this point I had redone pretty much all of gen I, II, and IV, and luckily my gen III and V games were not stolen from me, so all that was left to have another complete natdex (aside from mythicals) was to play the poke transfer lab minigame to send ~490 Pokémon to Black 2. *strained smile* Fun!

Mythicals

Most mythical Pokémon can only be obtained through rare distribution events. Not being able to access Nintendo WFC as a kid, I missed most of these. However, for the 20th anniversary of the series, there was a lovely year-long string of distributions for every single mythical that existed at the time, straight into my copies of X and Y that would get stolen four years later *grumble grumble*

Luckily there are a few exceptions; mythicals that can be obtained in a core series game or a side game, at the time of their introduction or years later. Mew (my Pokémon ranch, pokeball plus), Celebi (crystal virtual console), jirachi (colosseum bonus disc), deoxys (ORAS), manaphy (pokemon ranger, BDSP, LA), darkrai (LA), Shaymin (LA), Arceus (LA), keldeo (SwSh), magearna (SUMO), etc. With the exception of magearna, all pokemon introduced after gen III are only currently available in games in gen VIII and above, meaning I won’t be able to have an actually for reals complete living dex in USUM with EVERY mythical without cheating or trading with someone very, very generous. To compensate, I’m allowing myself to just get whatever I can in USUM and other mythicals can be in SwSh with my gen VIII regional dex. Most mythicals are obtainable in Pokémon Go which I still actively play (pretty much exclusively for mythicals), and I do have every mythical that’s been released in Pogo in that game.

I’d like to have as many as possible in USUM though, so I did look into the above methods as well as some less salubrious methods. For mew, I mentioned above that you can get it in my Pokémon ranch (if you deposit 999 Pokémon in the game), but the Wii eshop has shut down, making it impossible to download ranch without homebrewing my Wii. Another option for mew that I thought was viable up until about a week ago is using the mew glitch in Pokémon blue virtual console and transferring it up through Pokémon bank. Seeing as it requires no external hardware and it is a very easy to perform glitch that I have done before, I would consider this mew legit. However, pokemon bank doesn’t, as it apparently checks both the OT and trainer id of any mew you attempt to transfer and will block it if it’s not correct. Soft-resetting for the correct trainer id is lower chances than soft resetting for a shiny and I don’t have the time for that. I don’t think I’d want to do it even if I did. There’s also glitches that can be used to change your trainer ID or the ID of a specific Pokémon, but that kind of manipulation does seem illegitimate to me and I’d rather not. So I’ll just live with my Pokémon Go mew.

Pokémon Ranger games can also send a manaphy egg — one per Pokémon ranger game, NOT one per save file — to a gen IV game. I already did that with my own copy (stolen) and the alternative is buying an unopened copy online. Again, I’m not trying to spend more money on this project than I need to, so I’ll just count the BDSP manaphy.

I also recently found out that some people have made an alternative to Nintendo WFC for Pokémon DS games, including online trading as well as running old event distributions. With a 3DS it is possible to connect DS games to wifi without a WEP key, so I checked that out and was able to get Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Victini, and Darkrai. These Pokémon are pretty much indistinguishable from their original legitimate counterparts except for the fact that I know otherwise, so again I’m not sure if I’ll transfer these upwards. I do have all of those Pokémon in Pogo and SwSh through legitimate means, so they could be stand-ins, like with my clone vivillons. I’ll have to think about it.

The only mythicals I don’t have in any game are volcanion and marshadow, which I’m just now realizing as I fact check this post apparently had three SwSh distributions each that flew over my head. More than likely they’ll eventually be available in Pogo, so I’m not stressing too much over that one.

Vivillon Quest…2!

As mentioned before, I have no doubts that pokeball and fancy vivillon will eventually appear in Pokémon go since all 18 other patterns are now available in it, but I suspect they’ll only be available after every other pattern has been obtained. I know some people have already done that, but perhaps there will be a special research story or somesuch with acquiring forms as a task. Maybe the fancy form will even be released as part of the staggered release of gen IX pokemon, since fancy vivillon are the native pattern of Paldea regardless of your game’s region (no I will not buy SV just for vivillon).

In Pokémon Go you acquire scatterbugs by acquiring multiples of postcards from each pattern’s region. Because pogo gameplay is centered around tedium and repetition (erm, I mean cooperation and engagement) they decided that scatterbug would take 25 candy to evolve into spewpa, which takes 100 candy to evolve into vivillon. Those numbers are analogous to the 125 candies it takes to fully evolve any starter Pokémon, which are actually generally good in battle. As a comparison, caterpie, another early game worm Pokémon, takes a total of 62 candies to fully evolve into butterfree. For the unaware, the only ways to get scatterbug candy are 1) Catching more scatterbug* (three candies per, 6 if using pinap berry), 2) traveling with scatterbug as your buddy (1 candy per kilometer); and converting rare candies to scatterbug candies. In order to fully evolve a vivillon of every form, you need a grand total of 2250 candies (2500 if the event patterns are given to us as scatterbugs).

*Scatterbug is not found in the wild. Currently the only method of encountering it is through postcards obtained in gifts from friends, which you can only receive one gift from each friend per day, and you have to receive a minimum of 3 postcards from a region before encountering that region’s scatterbug. After those first three, successive scatterbugs for the same region require 9 postcards, then 15. Vivillon is not particularly strong. There is no reason for this except to force engagement. It’s not fun. After almost a year, I have only 504 scatterbug candies. I’ve decided to take a break from actively working on this, though I do passively collect more scatterbug candy from my buddy.

Anyway, I just found out 3DS online is being cut off in April (excluding pokemon bank) so I lost all interest in all of that and spent this last weekend scouring reddit for friend safari codes in XY. TO BE CONTINUED

#living dex #pokemon #I think the biggest hurdle to continuing rn is I want the shiny charm in both B2 and W2 #and trading everything to W2 just for that sounds like a drag. but I'll be so mad at myself later if I don't #anyway if the readmore doesn't work I'm so fucking sorry

Just finished burning through most of the content and some post game content for Scarlet, and Id rate it a fun 7/10. Personally speaking this might be my favorite Pokemon game now, but the sheer amount of graphical and technical problems the game has are unacceptable. If I knew what I was getting from the game before buying I would gladly have waited a couple more years worth of game development to make it a solid 9/10.

Pros:

-Open world setting is good, hunting down pokemon directly rather than tromping through tall grass is far more engaging and way less tedious

-Picnics offer accessibility when it comes to healing and sandwiches which, with the right ingredients, provide boosts to various aspects of the game such as shiny hunting, item farming, and exp boosts.

-Writing is far better compared to most pokemon games, with characters feeling far less one dimensional compared to most games

-The branching quests are neat, and dont overstay their welcome. Gym leaders, however, could've used more screentime.

-Music is solid and varied, with each major zone having its own unique battle tracks accompanying them

-Stores across the region literally sell various items that were otherwise restricted to being found in the wild or confined to battle towers, allowing for the most all around customization that has ever been possible in the series.

-Fun clothing options, however they do lean heavily into the school uniform route this time around so you only have four options for your shirts and pants.

-Terastrallizing provides a whole new aspect to combat other than simply overpowering your pokemon, allowing players to compensate for type weaknesses by forcing their pokemon to become a single type regardless.

-The additional currency of the game, League Points, acts as a nice secondary option that accumulates from doing things like raid battles. LP is especially important since its very easy to completely pass by trainers, and I found myself using both for purchases throughout the game.

-The exclusive variations that come with Scarlet and Violet's theme of past and future are neat ways of exploring different takes on pokemon. While some may not be to everyone's personal tastes, I found Scarlets to be very appealing.

-New region based pokemon are right up my alley, and unlike Sword I felt no urge to simply fill my party with old faithfuls. If the designs are going to continue becoming more creative like these, Im all for it.

-Character designs are S+, and are both charming and unique.

Cons

-Game Freak's habit of yearly launches is really starting to take its toll. If you thought Sword and Shield were bad, the open world environment of Scarlet and Violent goes the extra mile down the hole. There is no such thing as 30 fps in the game, let alone consistent 30. If your camera isn't as zoomed in as close as possible you will get a front row seat to the switch having the life squeezed out of it from all the processing power needed to stop it from simply exploding into nintendo shrapnel. This is is especially intolerable, having experience with both BOTW and Xenoblade Chronicles 3, as other open world games on the switch have far less issue while providing extensive detail to the game.

-You will always witness the game rendering the environment around you when you move, its like watching Minecraft rev up when you enter a world except its a continuous affliction that you have no choice but to deal with.

-Players will notice a literal "rendering aura" around their character when interacting with people and pokemon. Upon entering battle with wildlife, you get to watch the low polygon creatures reobtain their lost forms, but if things around you are not within battling distance, they retain their low render curse. Gym battles are notorious for this, with cheering onlookers looking like faceless hollow vessels if theyre not near the center edge of the arena by the camera.

-To noones surprise, the game is also a buggy hellscape, and while I managed to only get stuck about three times, and just a single crash, I did get a particularly unique bug. For a major portion of the game a Mareep would show up in cutscenes and even raid battles. The poor thing would not move, clearly catatonic from suffering the technological nightmare that is its very existence, and would simply stand there. Very funny, but also cannot be condoned.

-The Elite Four of the game is by far the most disappointing and underwhelming event I've ever played in the series. After an interview, you are basically placed in an empty fight cell that looks like it was completely overlooked by the developers, with a few spotlights looking down at a floor encompassed by walls and ceilings that were just square panels. The Elite Four then proceed to walk into the room, fight you, and then call the next member into the same room to continue the unholy cycle, all while accompanied by the most unimpressive 10 second looping battle music ive ever heard. There are no changes to the room during the process of the fight, not even when the Elite Four terastallize their pokemon. You then go to the roof to fight the Champion, who proceeds to have her own personalized boring music loop. I honestly thought it was a bit, that there was gonna be some big twist after what was basically five monotonous fights. Its not, you were shoved into a box to chug through five fights without any amount of serious production value.

Neutral

-Tera raids are on the same field as the gigantamax fights, neat at first but pretty meh as you play them repeatedly.

-A major plot point remains covered, and I really hope that its dealt with in later updates and not dlc.

-Post game is standard grinding, harder difficulty tera battles are available, alongside the "fight four random characters from the cast of trainers" that came with Sword and Shield. If thats your thing, good for you, especially since its way more accessible now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In exchange for good writing, characters, open world, music, and accessibility options, we must bear witness to Game Freak vomiting out what deserves to be a stable and attractive game. One can only hope that some manner of miracle causes those at the top to reconsider their yearly release calendar.
