I'm not allowed on tiktok anymore. Or YouTube shorts. Or I assume Instagram reels though I've never watched them. I will just scroll and scroll and scroll and completely lose track of time and suddenly it's 5am and I'm so dehydrated that my mouth feels like a desert

It's difficult for me to put this into words, but I think being aro can feel quite alienating when you're a girl. Not because of exclusion, but because of expectations. I noticed this in the past month while frequenting a new environment that's mostly men and just a few women. I get along with these women, but I felt like there was a missed layer of connection. Now, seeing it from the outside, I honestly think I messed up by not talking about romance/relationships when I was asked. I think that my not saying a lot was not taken as "she's just not interested" but more as "she thinks she's above all that" or "she doesn't trust me enough to open up" and, honestly, it's not the first time it happens but I never manage to catch it before i ruin it.

After hearing about the misadventures of a young man who likes to get completely hammered so he's bold enough to try and kiss pretty girls, I commented on how glad I was that I'm not conventionally attractive enough for that to a problem. As far as I'm aware, people rarely if ever hit on me*.
My friends felt the need to reassure me, which was cool, but I was merely stating a fact, not lamenting my poor luck. And then one friend made sure to explain that my aesthetic is very appealing to a specific subset of queer women. That was surprisingly encouraging. And now I want to meet these women.

1. Hey! I am looking for a fic that's about WWX and LWJ being happily married, happily adopting children, and I think JC wants to reconcile? The children all have "Si" as the first character of their name, because Lan Elders questioned them being LSZ's siblings? Or something? I think LSZ arranged the children to "suddenly" appear in front of his parents too and they are oblivious but JC finds out and is surprised how sly LSZ is? They have a house in the outskirts of Cloud Recesses I think. Thank you so much!

3. hi! looking for a fic i read at some point that had a scene (i think towards the end?) where someone lets slip something about LSZ's identity in front of JC (maybe WWX is being affectionate? or Sizhui says something to him or LWJ?) and for a second they all freeze because what if JC hates him for having been born a Wen, but instead JC's reaction is something along the lines of "oh thank god it IS you" + checking that that's what they meant and he really *was* Wen Yuan bc JC had looked during and after the siege but couldn't find a trace of him and had hoped all these years that LWJ's mystery kid was secretly Wen Yuan but never dared ask in case he wasn't, and so finding out it really was him all along is a huge relief.

9. For the next FF, I'm looking for 2 fics: (A) burial mounds arc, yiling Wei sect fic where they advertised cultivators could come perform the burial rites of their sects to lay to rest their dead from the resentful masses in the burial mounds. I think this made them a legit sect. (B) I'm not sure why but LWJ married WY, possibly to protect him? WY was severely injured by zidian and he was bedridden while LWJ was sent to the indoctrination. The one scene I recall is WY made a talisman that exploded a Wen attacker's head.
9A)
I've read 9A! Can't find it now, but perhaps additional info will help: there's a rouge cultivator hanging around the burial mounds, who turns out to be Madame Lan, and I think Lan Qiren recognizes her while on a visit to lay to rest Lan ghosts? Later he brings over LWJ and LXC for a reunion.

I need help finding a fic, could you help pls?
It was a Wangxian one shot that took place in modern settings, specifically it was about wangxian having (adopting?) a baby during quarantine and not telling their family & friends until they are invited to a party/reunion and they just… bring the baby, surprise!
I WAS 90% sure it was called “Quarantine baby” but I can’t for the light of me find it. At this point I just want to know if it was deleted or I’m misremembering something. Anyway thanks for all your work! @neko-in-gotham

13. I've read this fanfic around 2021 and I forgot the title. I barely remember the details about it but I know it's good and I want to read it again, and it was an incomplete work way back so I'm wondering if it's completed already. It's about LWJ and WWX (participating?) in this kind of survival in the (purgatory?) and like they faced challenges under that and striving to survive until the very end to find their way out... really forgot the complete details but I swear it was good

14. Hi, I hope all is well with you.
I'm looking for 2 fanfics.
A - is wangxian, where lwj convinces wwx to return with him to gusu and remove his resentful energy and in return he will give a piece of land near the Cloud Recesses to the Wen Remnantslive in. but what lwj doesn't know is that resentful energy is the only thing keeping wwx alive. when trying to remove it he almost kills wwx and if wen qin hadn't been there it was very likely that he would have really died. Upon accepting LWJ's proposal, WWX knew he was going to die and asked LWJ to be the one to remove the resentful energy. has a happy ending.
B - lwj is a courtesan in a brothel near the tombs and wwx goes there for lwj's music to calm the resentful energy within him. when lwj calms the energy wwx returns to seem human. it's a fic where the monsters from the tombs come out to fight the wens and wwx is the patriarch of these monsters from what I remember.
thanks. @lilianeheart

15. What I remember is toward the end of a time travel story after defeating wen ruohan, wei wuxian is confronted by mend yap who was sent back by accident. Thing was that wei wuxian wasn’t actually one of the people sent back he was just told about it and he has to sit and stall while meng yao tries to turn him against I think lan xichen. I think it ends up with wei wuxian getting injured and knocked out after meng yao is stopped (still in wrh’s throne room)

17. Hello!
I am desperatly looking for a fic about Jiang Cheng and Nie Huisang. I literally cannot find it anywhere. It was post canon mostly, they were hooking up or sth and Huisang was dealing with resentful energy in his region and being chief cultivator. at some point Jiang Cheng broke it off, they only saw each other in passing on conferences and then huisang had qi deviation. wangxian was there trying to stop it but ultimately jiang cheng sort of brought him back. if you know this fanfic or anyone who i can ask i'll owe you my life @pandemonium39

18. Lost fic!! (Also tw for mention of SA)
It was a modern au, wei ying ran away as a teenager and lz bumps into him at a market, WY is with the wens and also has a close relationship with xue yang (they are kinda ex's) and then it turns out the JFM had attempted to assault WY as a teem and madame yu blamed WY, and JC and JYL and LZ are all in a group chat where they talk about WY and how much they miss him

19. Hiiiiiii!! I was looking for fic where I think Madam Yu kills Wei Ying and then Lan Wangji finds his soul? And I think somehow the Lan convinces Wei Ying to confess about what Madam Yu did to the Jiang siblings. And Wei Ying was sure that it won't go well but confessed anyway and Jiang Cheng didn't believe him. That's all I can remember.

20. Hello! I wanted to ask about this one fic where I think the entire Lan clan traveled back in time or at least had an idea of future events and so, during the Cloud Recesses Arc, they were super kind to Wei Wuxian cause they knew that Lan Wangji was going to be marrying him at some point. Lan Wangji was horknee gripping all the way when Wei Ying and him sparred and Lan Qiren was exasperated while Jiang Cheng was confused throughout the whole ordeal.

there not enough discourse around being ace and preferring not to talk about seggsual content even in clean situations. some of my friends (who are even a part of the aroace community) don’t understand this.
(sorry this is probably going to turn into a rant)
last week my aro friend and i were discussing sex and i used relatively clean or minimally detailed terms to talk about it because that’s just what i prefer but they straight up said something along the lines of “why are you acting like a 12 year old” (we’re both adults).
they know i’m ace. but that doesn’t seem to be reason enough for me to prefer not using explicit terms/language??
i feel like there’s a lot of talk about aces who may also have sex or aces who make sex jokes.
what about the aces who prefer to not think or talk about sex because it makes them uncomfortable?
tbh i think there should be more discourse around it.
why am i being compared to a child under the guise of “it’s normal to talk about sex as an adult”
i’m just mad that this kind of stuff is still going on today, even among people who claim to be educated on aroace identities.
🟣
I want to actually reply to this one, as an asexual who's friends thought they were so oblivious as to have never seen what a penis looked like. As in. Never even saw a picture. ALL of our friends are virgins, not a bad thing, and I was the one singled out. Because I was vocally uncomfortable talking about sex. So you know what I did? Complete 180, everything is a sex joke, everything is phallic. Because I was SO tired of being singled out. A lot of asexual people are adults, some who have had sex, a large amount who have consumed sexual content in some way (in movies, on TV, through fandom, through books) and even if we choose not to, we should NOT be treated as innocent children for it!!! We should not be CALLED children for it!!!! It's. Excuse my language, it's fucking disconcerting!! You have to have so much cognitive dissonance to speak to me the way I speak to the eight year olds in my classes.
It's so incredibly wild that an aromantic said that to you too, that's not okay. They of all people should have enough exposure to the ace community, and the aroace community, to understand why that is such a fucking stupid thing to say. Sorry. I'm so ANGRY about it!!!! I'm so angry about arospecs and acespecs being socially engineered to think like this too! I'm so angry about how people treat us, even the ones we love or respect! We are not kids! Not having sex doesn't make you a child! Not having a relationship doesn't make you a child! Neither of these traits should define your humanity or your adulthood and if they do that's a problem, even in allo people!!! Can the world stop being so fucking stupid about reproduction!!!! Holy shit!!!!!!

Ranting once again about the new Helluva Boss episode because it made me feel things…
The whole concept of Fizz not wanting to end his relationship with Mammon is something that is obviously as allegory for toxic relationships and something I personally can relate so much to. A couple years ago I had a romantic partner whom I quickly because uncomfortable with as it felt like they were demanding much more out of the relationship than I could emotionally give them (and on top of this I’m aroace but I hadn’t realized that yet.) Both of our mental health was pretty shitty at the time and I felt like I needed to be the “strong one” in the relationship. I felt like I needed to respond to their texts or they would get upset or kill themselves or something. I would get a text and my heart rate would sky rocket and I’d chuck my phone across the room. Now, Im not gonna victimize myself: I am definitely at fault for part of this since I wasn’t able to communicate how I was feeling, so they remained oblivious to my discomfort.
I never spoke up about how it stressed me out because prior to this relationship I was alone and didn’t really have any friends. Around the time I started dating them is when I started reaching out to more people, was when I got invited to stuff, was when I felt like people actually tolerated me and cared about me. And because of that i stayed in the relationship because I figured the pain I felt was worth it, and it wasn’t worth the possibility of losing everything and being alone. When I finally DID speak to someone and broke up with them it was like a weight was lifted, like I could finally feel what I had been meaning to feel and didn’t have to put up a front anymore.
Seeing Ozzie confronting Fizzarolli and letting him know that he’s with him regardless of his relationship with Mammon, and that he doesn’t want to keep seeing him hurt, is something that hits so deep because that’s what I wished someone would have said to me.
So thank you, Ozzie. Thank you Fizzarolli. Thank you Helluva Boss- for putting to words something that I struggled with in the past. Thank you for showing me that a person is worth more than what they give in a single relationship.

Hello I am lesbian Akk lmao. Going from thinking I'm straight but aroace to a demi lesbian was a lot 😂 I get akk I really do. When my really pretty friend in uni tried to set me up with some guy to break my virginity. I remember thinking sex with her would probably slap more than with some guy lol. Like akk I always had little attractions here and there for women but my mind would quickly come up with technical reasons that made sense. Now that I think about it trying with men was sooo hard in a way that it wasnt with women. And just like akk when I got to know some women to a point where I felt those feelings, my first thought would be "man if I could only bottle this up and open it when I go on a date with a man" 🤣🤣🤣 and the comphet phase is so sad cause I was surrounded by queer ppl but I was still convinced I was straight and because I wasnt having those feelings for men I must've been aroace. My mind on the other hand would convince me that the same feelings for girls were just cause I found her really pretty or wanted to be like them. My crushes on girls and boys when I was young were so different
For boys- he's popular, he gets good grades therefore I should like him. He was kind to me in class when everyone else was not so I must like him. I would call it an aesthetic attraction. If the boy exuded any semblance of having good manners, it would immediately be "yeah that's hubby right there 👍🏾" cause yeah common sense we have to pick the nice guys ghjkkk
Girls- this used to be more intense, I was barely breathing lmao. Most of the time it was someone I sat next to or would hang out with. And I would really study their face when they weren't paying attention like 'my god she's soo stunning'. Or time would stop when they would pass by or some shit like that and I was still convinced that it meant I wanted to be like them! They literally took my breath away 💀 with boys it was a monotone 'yaas my crush is here' in my mind but with girls the thoughts were not even coherent 'fghjkihggbjkjhff' LMAO AND MY MIND STILL REFUSED TO COMPUTE THAT INTO "hey don't you think maybe we could be lesbian? I mean we cant seem to act normal around pretty girl for 5 fucking minutes" instead my trash software concluded this "no you tots want to be like her ☺️ or you just find her intimidating babe 😘"
To end this long winded ask lmao...akk is an idiot no denying that but his oblivious thought process does make sense. I mean hey at least he knows he's gay that's half the battle 😭
Sincerely,
A lesbian Akk who figured her shit out even later than Akk 💀
Thank you for sharing your story with me! But yeah, the comphet is wild and that’s why I appreciate stories like 23.5 so much. I—and many other queer women—never got that giddy high school first love experience because we were so brainwashed we couldn’t even see what was right in front of us. Homophobes always complain about gay people “shoving it in their faces,” but if that was true, I would have realized I was gay a lot sooner. Heterosexuality was what was shoved in my face.
I’m glad Akk’s journey is relatable to you! Twenty-two is still so young to figure yourself out and although Akk tends to panic about his lack of experience, he’s still well ahead of the curve in my opinion. I’m 31 and still learning different facets of my queer identity. It really is a lifelong process. Akk’s lucky he has Aye to teach him 😉

do you ever talk about aromantic characters/headcanons on here? completely understand if you don’t want to i’m just curious :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are the only posts I can think of where I was talking about headcanons so fuck it I'm taking this as an opportunity to elaborate on my headcanons
The Phineas one was originally a joke until I saw the episode where they all end up in Paris and Isabella keeps trying to make a move on him and he's just utterly oblivious the whole time and that sealed the deal for me. He is so arospec to me
I headcanon Pinkie Pie as aro because I like the idea of the bubbly and outgoing character being aromantic and all she wants is to throw parties and make her friends happy which is that sort of feel good wholesome aro rep of someone who just loves their friends and hobbies. I originally headcanoned her as aroace but in the timeskip she's married to the Weird Al horse and has a kid. I like to think they're in a qpr so I can keep the aro headcanon
I really love American Idiot and the story it tells and my favorite song on the album by far is St Jimmy. And I think Jimmy is aromantic because I said so. He's a cool character and we need cool aro rep. Sure he's technically not real and also dies but still. Most of my aro headcanons are somewhat logical but not this one. This is just me liking a character and making him aromantic
Clone high JFK just makes sense to me. The original, at least (i have conflicted feelings on the reboot). I know it can come off as a negative stereotype but hear me out. He's aromantic but doesn't know the word for it and he sleeps around cause he likes sex. I don't think that headcanoning the character who sleeps around a lot as aroallo is inherently a bad thing cause he's not like cruel or disrespectful about it. He just enjoys sex and I think we should have aro characters who enjoy sex.
Willow and Hunter are on the list mainly because I saw a lot of people headcanon them as aroace who were upset about them getting together and I thought wait a minute this can be a qpr since unlike Luz and Amity they didn't have an on screen kiss or refer to eachother as girlfriend and boyfriend. And they're green + yellow which is the colors of the aroallo flag.
Just now I'm realizing that I have a lot more aroallo headcanons than aroace even though I am asexual

Note
it's been about a year since i realized i was aroace (i came out to my friends last march 26, so it's probably right around when i realized), and at first i was so happy that i figured out my identity - and for sure i'm still so grateful that i know that the reason that i don't feel the attraction that everyone else my age seems to is because i'm aroace, not because i'm 'broken' or whatever. but the thing is, sometimes it is really hard to live with being aroace. i'm only fourteen, and i find it so weird how people my age (and even younger which weirds me out fr) are like...feeling attraction and being in relatioinships and doing...things, and i'm so oblivious to this until my friends are like 'i cannot believe how cute they are together they're such a good couple!' or 'so-and-so broke up with so-and-so' and i'm just like - ???????? twelve and thirteen and fourteen and fifteen year olds (because that's who i'm around at school rn) are in freaking relationships?????? it's also super hard to live with when my friend wants to want anime with me, but the only ones she's really into are about like love and relationships and all that and....i'm just sitting there like i would rather watch people stabbing each other because that's what's interesting to me but like...i dunno it's just so hard sometimes to be so different than everyone in society who is so enamored with romantic/sexual relationships just not conforming to the relationship norms of society is really freaking annoying sometimes, like don't get me wrong i am SO glad that i know i'm aroace, but...when it's all you hear about and see all day, it gets exhausting and annoying and isolating

A list of Genshin character headcanons and personal ships that Just Make Sense
This will also feature Aether as the traveler, im sorry-
Heizou was a victim and a perpetrator of the VHD. He lost his vision about 8 months in.
As a result he has difficulty with his emotions as well as the emotions of others. He's very inept, a genius but emotionally inept.
Kaveh and Al Haithem don't hate each other, but they definitely are not good friends.
Speaking of, I think Kavehthem is super toxic. Source? My parents were just like them before getting divorced and now they dont talk to each other.
Kaveh's hurt line of: "I've been through worse" yeah... He had a shitty ex.
The ex was a Dottore clone.
The same Dottore clone is how Lisa found out she was lesbian lol.
Diluc and Eula get fake married.
Eula so that she's finally rid of all ties to the Lawrence Clan
Diluc because he's so tired of getting hit on at the tavern...
Dehya and Yoimiya have prosthetics.
Poly5WIRL
(-Wanderer.) That man is so aroace istg
Heizou is also dating Tighnari. No I will NOT elaborate.
Meanwhile Aether is additionally dating Kaeya and Albedo
(who are also dating cause why wouldn't they?)
Heizou and Sara are each other's chosen family.
They eventually legally change their last names so that they're legally siblings too.
Heizou originally wanted to live on Watasumi, but the first time he escaped there he was found and dragged back home.
Speaking of: Heizou was born and raised on Yashiori, specifically in Higi Village.
When Heizou ran away to Watasumi, thats where he met Kokomi and Gorou.
Gorou is trans mtf. Her name is Hina. You cannot change my mind.
Hina and Koko? Married.
Ayato and Itto? Dating. I love they.
Thoma is a fucking wolf hybrid you cant change my mind! He can shape shift!
Also Noelle is his little sister i just
holds them gently
Cynonari is married, Collei is their long-suffering daughter.
Cyno continues to try and ask Kaveh out.
Kaveh continues to be super oblivious.
Kaveh 🤝 Collei = Trauma from Dottore.
Wanderer chose to go to college over hanging out with Traveler and their friends....
Only to end up talking to them anyway. He is Suffering.
Kaeya has Pyrophobia from the Fight.
Al Haithem is a dick. Like he won't bring up trauma or misgender you, but he's still an absolute asshole.
Why is he an ass? Because he knows and deliberately hurts others feelings. He is aware of what he's doing.
Al Haithem is also deaf + autistic. Yes, you can be disabled and still be an asshole.
Kaveh and Al Haithem are Autistic on Autistic Violence
The Nameless Bard's name is Raven, because I am a sucker for Dramatic Irony. Also because I like it.
Childe has chronic pain and early-onset arthritis
Shenhe is actually Chongyun's mom, she gave him away when he was a baby for his safety, and the cover story she and the village gave was that she's just an aunt.
Opposite to how Chongyun's energy is pure Yang, Shenhe's is pure Yin, making her much more likely to attract demons
Heizou and Sango genuinely cannot get along.
Kaveh is actually from Aaru Village. Well, before his dad moved them to the rainforest.
Kaeya actually resent his Khaenri'ahn heritage, as it gave him the impossible burden of spying on a nation.
Btw, Kaeya would choose Mondstadt over Khaenri'ah anyday.
Diluc has a room for Venti at the Winery.
Also, Diluc and Jean are not the only ones who know Venti is Barbatos. He aint that slick.
Albedo, Sucrose, Kaeya and Hu Tao also know.
Sucrose and Albedo? Figured it out themselves.
Kaeya? Found out by accident after Venti got too drunk.
Hu Tao? She already had suspicions that Zhongli was Morax, and Venti showing up along with him, Zhongli and Xiao all being awkward just confirmed it.
Heizou and Yanfei are pen pals. They're besties, Your Honor.
Kazuha and Heizou once did it on the fucking beach during VHD.
This was also 2 years before they started dating. And 3 before they met Aether.
Heizou's a bottom btw. a bratty one.
He and Sango tried dating once while they still got along, but broke up long before they split off
Technically, because of the Irminsul wipe, Venti is still the youngest of the archons. Nahida doesn't know how to feel about this. Neither does Aether.
XIAO IS CANONLY OLDER THAN VENTI ISTG IM NOT JOKING XIAO IS 4000+ AND VENTI IS AROUND 2600 IM FERAL
Anyway
Heizou is allergic to mangoes. And Lavender Melon, and- actually this guy is allergic to near every fruit... Except for sunsettias and pineapples, strangely enough.
This doesn't stop him from eating candy. Much to Sara's horror.
Dw, she has the bfs gang up on him.
Heizou struggles with depression at times. And it's something he goes to therapy for. He hasn't done anything, but for a while it was pretty bad, especially right after the decree ended.
Kaeya has hEDS (Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome)
It means his bones are more likely to dislocate and pop out of socket if he's not careful.
KAEYA FUCKING DUEL WEILDS SWORD AND CATALYS PLEASE MIHOYO GIVE ME CATALYST KAEYA I PROMISE TO BE GOOD
Kaeya is also autistic with some pretty weird sensory issues. The second water gets in his boots this man will toss them off faster than Signora died.
He hates wet socks. Despises them
Yes I'm projecting.
Speaking of Signora. Aether and Venti held a small unofficial funeral for her on Cape Oath. They only had her mask to bury...
Faruzan has all but adopted Kaveh as her grandson. Kaveh has accepted this.
She/they Paimon.
Aether is older than everyone (because, well, physical manifestation of a star) and doesn't tell anyone. He finds it funny
Hes also lactose intolerant. Lumine too.
Aether doesn't let it stop him. Lumine hates this about him.
Fischl is a system
The events of the Aranyaka quest and the Pari quest happened around the same time. How you ask? Aether didn't go to Sumeru alone, he brought Heizou and Kaeya (this is before Hei joined the polycule-)
Its also when Tighnari and Heizou eventually started dating because Heizou kept running off and dragging Kaeya with him when they were supposed to be recovering from the Samsara and Tighnari went "Oh godsdammit i like him..."
Cyno and Nari talked it out and Collei was also cool with it so Nari shot his shot and... It took longer than expected for Heizou to notice...
ANYWAY PARI QUEST
Along with Heizou and Kaeya, Kaveh and Nilou also went with them.
As you've spotted, there isn't a single healer among them
Heizou preoceeds to give Kaeya his spare catalyst and turns that boy into a healer.
"Sorry Aether, I turned your boyfriend into a healer"
The catalyst was the Inazuma craftable one...
Kaveh and Heizou actually hit it off pretty well, bonding over being geniuses in their respective fields
Nilou is Mom friend. Im correct. She calls people "darling" and "sweetheart"
Anemo should be allowed to swirl Dendro so it does in my universe.
Kaeya and Heizou are the ones to find the door to Khaenri'ah... Kaeya doesn't react well and all Heizou has to go on is that maybe the Abyss hurt him somehow
He's kinda right, but its not the full picture.
Also Cynonari have absolutely no clue where those two are at this point... They are Freaking Out because Aether is off doing other things and told them to keep those two in Ghandarvah Ville...
Heizou punches Al Haitham in the fucking face.
Lyney has longer hair, and it's braided over his shoulder like in Lisa's alt skin.
Lyney's outfit is also 30% more slutty because holy shit its an abomination.
The twins are both cats. Lyney is SUCH a catboy (derogatory)
I want that Twink Obliterated.
One-sided LyneyxAether. Lyney gets over it... eventually.
Barbara and Freminet is such a cute ship yall are sleeping
Lyney is canonly Down Atrocious for Aether omg that poor magician
Freminet occasionally drags the twins swimming with him. But only in shallow water cause Lynette doesn't like the water. Lyney does though.
Freminet has killed a man that looked at Lynette wrong. He will kill again.
Lyney: Autistic ADHD
Lynette: Autistic
Freminet: Autistic Agoraphobic (Agoraphobia is the fear of people)
Freminet and Lynette tag team Lyney when he's talking bad about himself
Can you tell i love these guys?
Wriothesley and Clorinde are.... they got Something goin on
Neuvillette and Furina are married.
Heizou punches Lyney in the face after the trial
Is immediately sent to Solitary Confinement for Inciting a Riot... In front of Wriothesley
"Oh this is bad... This is really bad!" Heizou
"What's wrong man?" Cyno
"I kissed Aether!" Heizou
"Woahhhhhh... I owe Nari and Yanfei so much mora" Cyno
After 4.2 Furina moves in with Venti at the Dawn Winery.
Diluc walked in to see her and Venti playing cards and went "I'll go set up a room."
Also canonly? Heizou is fucking buff. Never forget he can take down the ENTIRE POLICE STATION WITHOUT A VISION
Lyney is just "He could have rocked my shit...why was that hot?"
Wriothesley is Suffering because he lost a match to a twink
Heizou is Not friends with the Orphan Trio lol, but he is friends with Chevreuse. They bonded over shitty dads
Heizou also just goes home with the Inazuma cast after the Fontianalia Film Festival
Yanfei and Cyno also go home lol cause Natlan would not be the best place for them
Heizou, Kano Nana, and Gaming are cousins on their mother's side. Their moms were sisters and grew up in Konda Village.
Gaming and Amber are cousins on the paternal side
Gaming does NOT forgive his father during Lantern Rite. He's also angry at Aether for telling people his private matters.
Heizou is there during Lantern Rite because Favoritism Privilege. Heizou is also upset because he's been there.
Heizou's brother is named Yamashi and his mom is Kanae. The father stays nameless bc fuck him.

I fell out of the Danganronpa fandom for a bit and unfortunately I am back in it at full force, possibly more than before since I now created a Tumblr account for my favorite character.
My head canons under read more i honestly just wanted somewhere to put them lmao only read if you wanna, but I love seeing others headcanons so if you want, feel free to share your own! I know there aren't a lot of Danganronpa fans anymore but ya know the hyperfixation chose me, I didn't choose it.
Byakuya is genderfluid and gay and on the aroace spectrum because I said so and I'm not projecting. And makoto is a bisexual trans man and his transness helped byakuya realize that he is ALSO trans and sometimes likes to wear more stereotypically "feminine" or gender neutral clothing. And they're gay together, your honor.
Kyoko is biromantic and she loves makoto romantically and Byakuya platonically (platonic soulmates!!!). They are poly cause I think kyoko and makoto together are way too lovely to ignore and also kyoko is such an interesting character. Kyoko helped byakuya come to terms with his asexuality since byakuya was raised to believe that he needed to mate with a bunch of women and reproduce. And of course she made him accept it through some discreet line of questioning and Byakuya had to just go in his dorm for the whole day and mind snowboard until he started to begin to accept it.
And Byakuya helped Kyoko and Makoto get together. Makoto and Byakuya were dating first and Makoto confessed to Byakuya one night about how he had feelings for both him and kyoko and he feels really guilty about it. Makoto expected Byakuya to be jealous but he was just like, "okay and why are you not with her yet, plebian?" Then they discuss polyamory and agree to let Kyoko into their relationship if she wishes to (byakuya knows that she is head over heels for makoto and Makoto is so oblivious to anyone liking him ever).
Kyoko says yes and they're both so in love it's sickening but Byakuya loves to see makoto so trusting of someone and getting to view from a sort of outsiders perspective the subtle things that makoto does when he feels safe around someone and truly loves them. Like how Makoto stands up for himself more and is more confident around his partners, or how he likes to play with kyoko's hair especially when he's thinking about something (bro stims we love to see it).
And kyoko notices how much less douchey byakuya is around makoto. Byakuya will often even get things for makoto or buy things that he knows he loves, even though byakuya always gives some kind of half-assed excuse as to why it wasnt purely out of kindness that he did it. Kyoko also sees how Makoto often ends up falling asleep in places that aren't his bed, and Byakuya will lift makoto up so gently as if he is some priceless thing and carry him to their bed. And he will tuck him in and bring him a glass of water (filtered, not tap) and sometimes he even kisses the top of his head if byakuya doesn't know that Kyoko is there watching (which only happens if byakuya is also extremely tired as well).
And kyoko and Byakuya love to go out to shop together and she helps him find skirts and dresses and stuff that fits him and they talk about makoto and how he's actually so smart and yet so oblivious at the same time like how is someone able to be a genius at deduction and yet forgets how a toaster works. They love to find clothes that they think makoto would look goofy in but makoto always ends up loving the clothes and he somehow looks GOOD in it. And they are always STUNNED. How does this man rock a fnaf crop top with jean shorts?
And both makoto and kyoko taught Byakuya that feelings do play some significance in life and it doesn't have to be facts over feelings (dude is NOT Ben Shapiro even though he sometimes acts like him). He learned that it's okay to be vulnerable at times when you're around those you can trust, though his walls do come back up sometimes when he gets angry or feels insecure about something. But Byakuya always ends up apologizing afterwards , even if it takes a few days.
And Byakuya learns to gradually accept hugs and other affection sometimes. He's pretty touch averse because of his upbringing and he finds that hugs often make him feel overwhelmed and trapped. But after a few months of being together with Makoto, Byakuya tells makoto about his touch aversion and how Byakuya will let makoto know when he is okay with physical touch such as hugging. Byakuya lets him know it's nothing against makoto and its not because he's a "commoner", he just didn't grow up with physical affection and finds that he gets overstimulated very easily from certain things.
Stopping myself from writing anymore I'm so mentally unwell

Note
When I was in like grade 2 o =r 3 a lot of the kids were crushing on this one guy and at that point I really wanted to figure out what crushes were. So I studied the people claiming to have crushes and thought "hmmm. Surely if people got crushes adults would want to make sure people get healthy crushes right?"
WHICH somehow translated to me, in gym class, going "aha! I have figured it out! Teachers do girls vs boys in gym to help encourage people to form healthy crushes on people they can cooperate with!"
AKA.. girls should crush on girls and boys should crush on boys (note: at this point in life I was oblivious to the fact not everyone was a boy or a girl)
And because I never got crushes of my own and after that class I heard less about other people's crushes I just.. didn't update my point of view. Like everyone's parents that I met were either single or straight but I was like "ohhh they do that for children, but idk wouldn't it be stronger love if they aren't doing it just for kids??"
I am now educated:tm: but somehow, against what should be possible, my autistic aroace ass managed to checkmate myself into a reality where straight people barely exist. I just thought everyone was gay, like yeah the entire planet is gay unless two people want a child what about it?
(people thought I was gay growing up too so that probably contributed to it)
(I thought that was a funny story lol. I think it shaped me somehow)

So I’m finally getting my friend to read Gideon the ninth, and she’s going in with mostly no knowledge. It was their idea to play a game and guess what characters are like from art I sent her and the characters names. She doesn’t know who’s a cavalier and who’s a necromancer.
Tumblr media
art by @exmakina
Here’s the picture of the cast I sent and here are their thoughts:
She actually thought Judith and Marta were boys which is fair in all honesty bc I kept saying they looked like 12 year old boys in British uniforms for an American revolutionary war reenactment.
Judith:
Okay so Judith Deuteros, I feel like she's the 'older sister' who thinks she can do everything herself but she cant. A bit rude and super loyal until proven otherwise
Now for Marta, autocorrect decided to change Dyas to DYAS because I yelled about her being cool when I was reading htn. I have no shame, she’s definitely hot and definitely out of my league.
Marta:
Okay, misS DYAS 😂 is the one who can actually do everything on her own but lets people help her just because its less work. Direct but nice overall
[here is where I explained why it autocorrect to DYAS without saying it was because she was really cool]
Her: So a bit stupid too
Me: how dare you, I’m offend on her behalf
Her: Well emotionally stupid
Logically brilliant
Me: I am offended on her behalf
To explain Ianthe, I sent her the cast before and they said they thought Ianthe was pretty so I had been sending non spoiler fanart of Ianthe which is surprisingly hard. I get that bone arm Ianthe is hot, but like there’s so little of regular Ianthe.
Ianthe:
Okay, social bitch whos not afraid to stab you in the back and will do ANYTHING, and I mean ANYTHING to protect her twin
Very manipulative
Me, shocked at most of it being right: anything else?
Mmm likes things her way
Coronabeth:
I like her name
She's the quiet one, but still talks shit about ppl she doesn't like. She likes to look pretty but only for herself
Also would do anything for her twin
I feel like she could betray her in exceptional circumstances (my reaction to this was basically 👀 because of as yet unsent)
Naberius is funny because I haven’t told her a thing about him. So I’m going to let this part speak for itself.
Tumblr media
Then I proceeded to tell her that I know only one person who liked Naberius and he’s objectively wrong. (he decided he would stop defending Naberius after I reminded him that babs threatened children)
Issac:
Little ginger boy who DESPISES being called short, but also super agile and good at his job (wtv it is)
I feel like he's crushing on a girl but idk who and he gets flustered way too easy, it kinda puts him in trouble, cause he cant lie
Jeannemary:
Ooo I like her name too
Shes basically Gabi from aot
Lemme tell y’all, this absolutely crushed me. If you like aot and you were watching it as it came out or just saw the memes, no one liked Gabi. I thought Gabi was fine but the idea of people hating Jeannemary made me very sad.
Abigail:
The type of girl who volunteers at retirement homes. She likes to read and be alone whenever she's not on the job. Barely talks to anyone, she prefers to listen to people
(She was proud of this one because I said nifty, this is like modern au Abigail minus her fun, funky parts. If I were describe Abigail, I would say unhinged academia and move on)
Magnus:
Absolute lady magnet, charming smile and flirty eyes. Crushes on Abigail but she's oblivious to love so he kinda just admires from afar. Only default is he lets his emotions control him, easy to manipulate
(She was very happy when I told her Abigail and Magnus were married)
Now much to my dismay, this heathen thinks glasses are sexy so she thinks Palamedes is hot which hurts the part of my soul that headcanons Pal as aroace, but putting that aside, I said please don’t ship these characters I will literally cry. This concerned her and I had tell her they were cousins.
Palamedes:
So Pal, real nerdy, super good with anything thats tech. But of a sarcastic brat, and gets along better with animals than humans
(This is almost entirely inaccurate but I’m not a heartless monster so they can have this for now.)
Camilla:
Good with math, can do decently in tech too because she observed her cousin work so often. She's a pro at detecting when ppl are lying and doesn't let their bullshit pass ever.
Now I was very excited for what they would say about Dulcinea/Cytherea and Pro mostly because I wanted to see if the guess leaned more towards the actual Dulcie and Pro or not.
Dulcinea:
Cutie 🥰
(Me: Gideon thought so too)
She's a master at deception though. She likes flowers and jewelry and will flirt with any man (or woman) to help her own cause. She doesn't do murder, but she can easily knock out a man. She just flirts to get what she wants
I was absolutely dumbfounded that she basically guessed Cytherea’s whole character, aside from the murder. I was just thinking god damn and I tried my best not to show it (this is very hard and I understand why my friend who got me into the series spoiled so much on accident). Also Cytherea is her favorite based on their current assumptions.
Protesilaus:
Stone cold warrior, scary but honestly isn't afraid to cry. Hes good at what he does, but he hates it. Fucking whipped for a lady he cant have. Biggest heart you can find
This was such a good guess for original Pro that I was just like how???
About the eighth house, I told her that no one likes the eight and I very much hate them so that’s where all of this comes from.
Silas:
Okay so cruel individual who has zero empathy, picks on innocent people for fun and is loyal to death
Colum:
Also known as Colon Shit is homophobic and kills for fun 🙃
Oh and a pathological liar
This is all so wrong that I was like Jesus does it take that much to hate someone, but I didn’t want to spoil anything by telling them just how wrong they were.
We went to Harrow who I told her is a top kin of mine. Her prediction for Harrow was so nice and I can’t even be mad at her for being this wrong.
Harrowhark:
Okay healer type of character who helps anyone she can, has a hard time dealing with her emotions so she just shuts them down
I was also very excited for her Gideon prediction as anyone I talk to about this book knows I am head over heels in love this Gideon. She is pure of heart and she is dumb of ass. She is my everything. The friend who got my into gtn has a count of whenever I text them “she’s so stupid 🥰” referring to Gideon because it’s only referring to Gideon and never anyone else.
Gideon:
Okay from what you told me, she's a raging lesbian who cant deal with how attractive women are but is also a badass warrior
I have said too much in the end.

My obliviousness to flirting is not because of my aroaceness, but rather because I, am stupid-

alright so idk i just wanted to share an anecdote and my journey as an aroace person.
So this story starts the beginning of my freshman year. my second day really because it was just us on the first. now this needs prefaced by saying, i don’t have a lot of friends. it’s not some sad horrific thing - i mean id like a couple more friends but i’m not keen on a giant group. so at this point i have one solid friend, and i make it through the day like scouting out who’s nice and who i could get along with. my last class of the day is acting and i’ve already seen these people once or twice helping out with drama and i quickly get the understanding that they’re chill and id get along with them. the acting class is in the auditorium and we’re told to sit stage right in like two sections. i just pick a seat way off to the (stage) right, around people but not directly next to anyone. over the next week or so i start settling in and end up joining the big group twords the middle. i sit next to these two friends who i think are pretty cool and they seem to like me.
and the year progresses. i don’t become besties with one or the other but i make friends in general. i’m not sure if i could like become best friends with one of them because they had a really tight bond. like hallmark movie best friends. like the small part that isn’t ineffable about this relationship will be explained later on. but i am making other friends (i’m just gonna go with initials bc these ppl follow me on tumblr) and i become really good friends with w. we have some common interests but generally we just vibe yk.
now i’m gonna skip ahead a couple months to the school class play. all of us are involved in this - the previously mentioned acting friends (m and p) are both actors along with me and w is on stage crew. so one day w and i are mopping the stage or something just talking. i can’t remember exactly how it went but w has a boyfriend and he talks about him sometimes. but w really only refers to them as “my boyfriend” so i’m just going with it and pretending i know who it is. anyway at some point while we’re talking i must’ve said something like “who is your boyfriend btw” and they’re like ohhh l. and i just feel so dumb. they’re always together and interacting and i’m just like how did i not realize. i think about it for like a full day realizing how many things have gone over my head and how oblivious i am. fast forward a week or two to opening night. i’m kinda nervous because this is my first play-and also my first performance but i only had one line and i knew i could nail my characters. i have one bit in scene 3 then i change and im not needed til scene 7 so i mostly sit around and if it wasn’t crowded i sat in the fem dressing room. it’s about intermission time and we’re kinda sitting in a semi circle doing makeup as a bunch of queer (not girl) afabs. we’re talking about past relationships and stuff and coming out when p is talking and they say something along the lines of ‘and my dad was like you seem to be besttt frienddsss with m’. everyone understands and acknowledges it. then i realize. i’m like wtf. and i go ‘you’re with m??’ just lost and they confirm. this was like 10x more obvious than w and l. i have no clue how i didn’t see it. but 3 months in i realized that there relationship was romantic.
i don’t know why i care but i do. i wanted that friendship. i wanted a relationship like that. i thought i could have that if i found the right person. and in a single phrase i realized that i can’t. i know i can’t be in love. i accepted that long ago. but i struggle to accept this. maybe i didn’t believe in true love or whatever before i met them. but the way that they look at each others like they’re all they need. like it’ll be okay as long as they’re together. like i can see the hearts in their eyes. the way that they talk. the way they’re always laughing with each other. they way that they just effortlessly get each other. i don’t want to date them. i mean i’m aroace and lesbian at that. but i am so incredibly jealous. it’s like i see them together and it feels like a dagger in my chest. then i want a dagger in my chest. the jealousy consumes me.
at the beginning of that year i thought i had come to terms with myself. i’m not sure if i have. but i haven’t seen anyone talk about feeling this way, and if you’re like this, you’re not alone. we’re gonna make it through. it doesn’t matter how many friends you have or how relatable they are right now. you’re gonna find your person. and i hope someday i can find a plutonic m to my p
i really struggle with friends. i currently have 2 solid friends that i talk to most days. i know that i’m not either of their number ones. i’m aware that i put in eighty percent of the effort into our relationships. at least with one of them. but i know that people do care for me. and that i may never be able to fall in love, but i still get to be loved. and i still get to love. i just have so many more people to share my love with. i love you.
