Kaori and Jin itadori for the character ask
Thanks for the ask! This is interesting because both of them are basically 80-100% headcanon. We barely know anything about them.
Kaori
Sexuality Headcanon:
Hm, I think she dabbled a bit with girls in her youth (maybe also because of societal pressure), but ultimately leans more towards men. I imagine her and Jin got together quite early, end of highschool/early university maybe, so she didn't experiment all that much with other people. Doesn't mean the two didn't have their own fun together though.
Gender Headcanon:
Since we know nothing about her, I have just decided that she is a trans woman. Who is gonna proof me wrong? Her and Jin were thinking a lot about what approach to take with family planning. Kaori didn't care that much either way, but she still tried to look for options for Jin's sake. That's when Kenjaku came in and offered her a womb transplant. Unfortunately, she didn't get to use it much.
A ship I have with said character:
Well, uh, Jin. Also I'm not gonna lie, I have been thinking about her and Kenjaku as well, especially after we found out that they still hold onto her CT. I could absolutely see Kenjaku creeping up on her when scouting for a new body and maybe even try to hit on both her and Jin.
A BROTP I have with said character:
Uh idk, Wasuke? I imagine he was at first a bit sceptical of Jin being in a relationship with her because of some latent transphobia and homophobia, but he got over it pretty quickly and became one of her biggest supporters, even after death. You could say he always showed more concern for her than Jin.
A NOTP I have with said character:
Don't really have any. Not many people shipping her anyway.
A random headcanon:
Because of her CT and I think it would be funny if both of Yuuji's mothers would be into STEM, I think she was a physicist and working on actual anti-gravity devices. So she was a bit of a mad scientist herself.
General Opinion over said character:
I'm not sure I can have much of an opinion on her with how little we know, but what we do know is very intriguing and leaves a lot of room for speculation. Hopefully, we will learn more about her when we get into Yuuji's origins.
Jin
Sexuality Headcanon:
Kind of similar to Kaori, although I would say he's more firmly bisexual, he just doesn't have that much experience with men. Certainly not in terms of actual relationships.
Gender Headcanon:
Cis man. Not really the ideal societal image of one with his very polite and submissive soft or unassuming attitude and focus on being primarily a father. But I imagine that's what Kaori and Kenjaku liked about him (for different reasons).
A ship I have with said character:
Mainly just Kaori and Kenjaku. His relationship with Kenjaku is still so fascinating. I really hope it was willful ignorance that kept him by Kenjaku's side and made him pull through with having a child with them. He knows something is wrong, that this isn't Kaori, but he's just so desperate to have a family and a child and might not know how to handle the grief over Kaori, that he just ignores the many red flags Kenjaku is waving in his face. Him just being under some illusion or mind-manipulation CT would be really boring and remove so much agency from him. Let him be a fucked up, slightly obsessive husband to his evil wife!
A BROTP I have with said character:
idk, I don't think he has many friends
A NOTP I have with said character:
Honestly, just Toji. I don't see that at all. It's not even aesthetically appealing to me. They both have children and that's pretty much the only thing that connects them. I don't know why Toji would be interested in Jin and vice-versa.
A random headcanon:
He's still alive lol...no, I think he would have shown up already if that was the case. If he is, he's a really shitty father for letting Yuuji go through all that. Another hc would be that I think he never got that well along with his father, the situation with Kaori was just the tipping point that pushed them into actual hostility. But I imagine divorced/widowed Wasuke wasn't the best dad, especially because he seems to have a gambling addiction that probably didn't get any better with his grief.
General Opinion over said character:
Little fucked up guy, but really interesting. What little we saw of him in canon makes him come off kinda creepy in the stepford smile kind of way in my opinion and I like that about him. I mean he must've charmed Kenjaku somehow and what better way to do that than by being a little insane.

Could you please write one Zeus & Hera hc🥺❤please please
haha i wanted to make a joke and give you exactly ONE hc i have for them.. but luckily for you, i started making a big hc list yesterday so you’ll get a full set hee hee 💕
this is a continuation from Part I yesterday, which you can read here. aight. let’s do this!
so, from Hera’s side of things, i think she is a very emotional, sentimental being. i think she values commitment, and loyalty, and she actually doesn’t care about superficial gifts like jewellery and things. a simple picnic outside where all the food is handmade, etc. would mean more to her than a 24 ct necklace. (that’s not to say that she doesn’t like getting those things of course- i think after becoming Queen, these things become an indulgence that she appreciates very much, but still not as much as those other actions)
now, one thing i need to mention here is that i don’t think that every god had their domain at this point. i think Zeus, Hades and Poseidon, and Hestia had theirs outlined.. but i don’t think Hera or Demeter did- it was too early. i hc that the “domain chooses the god” not the other way around, though more often than not, it appears that gods have a distinct affinity for certain things like fighting (e.g. Ares, Zeus) , or growing things in barren soil (e.g. Demeter) or perhaps they are able to physically interact with shades (e.g. Hades, Thanatos, later Persephone). but i think with something like “marriage and family”- that’s not really tangible so it’s difficult for that domain to be identified. that’s why i think Hera hadn’t been “assigned” a domain just yet. i also think that Zeus, as King, is the one who “officiates” a god with their domain and blesses them- so like, you don’t really get officially associated unless Zeus approves and gives you that title.
back to Zeus x Hera— i think Hera likes effort. so when Zeus is relentlessly going after her, complimenting her, making her gifts (i think he starts with materialistic things, but slowly starts making things from the heart hee hee like crafting images in the sky with clouds or twisting lightning into spectacular sights) and making a genuine attempt to let her know that he really does love her for real, it catches on to Hera. he grows on her. she starts thinking about him more often than she’d like to.. she can’t help it.
Hera’s apprehension is understandable. even at this point, everyone knows Zeus has a penchant for pretty girls, and most of his relationships are a few weeks at most. and Hera refuses to be just another notch in his belt- she has too much pride for that.
but here’s the thing- i think most of Zeus’ “lovers” are intentional. i mean that he purposefully went out to find these goddesses and have kids with them because Zeus is very in-tune with Fate and knows that as King he needs to bring in strong, wise, role-model gods and goddesses to lead the other gods and eventually mortals.
i don’t think it would be fair to say that that’s Zeus ONLY motivation,, but i do think it’s a large one and i do hc that Hera knows this. Zeus is many things but i don’t consider him to be a liar.
so i do think Hera would have known 100% that Zeus would cheat on her but i think she just loves him so much, she believes she’ll be strong enough to handle it.
Zeus on the other hand, i think does a 180- he loved Hera so much, wanted her to be his wife, but after realising the pain he’ll cause her (no way Hera is going to be single handedly producing every god and goddess thereafter lmfao), decides that he loves her too much and doesn’t want to be the one who causes her that pain. so he refuses to ask her to marry him.
but like i said, i think Hera loves him far too much to let go, and she begs him to be “selfish” and ask her anyways. and Zeus, weak, does. so i think that’s how they got married.
now, Hera’s sacrifice for Zeus is enormous. unquantifiable. she’s gonna be the rock who’s there for him through highs and lows and twists and turns. always. and so Zeus gives Hera the domain of marriage and family because who else embodies commitment and loyalty in the most difficult times more than she?
Zeus x Hera isn’t without it’s fair share of fights and turmoils, obviously. neither Hera nor Zeus is perfect, but i think there’s a reason that they last as long as they do even with all of that- and that’s because in their heart of hearts, i do think they love each other.
fin.

Best Sniper in the Galaxy (An Uncle!Batch AU)
Tumblr media
Summary: Crosshair bonds with his niece the best way he knows how
Notes: I'm not someone who wants kids, but I love my nieces and nephews like they're my own, and I know there are lots of Dad!Batch HCs, so I wanted to give us some Uncle!Batch antics. Crosshair being a softy for his niece :) I kept Hunter's partner g/n and Nina's birth vague because families are created in many ways so I wanted this to be able to relate to many. Nina is named after CT-99 :')
WC: 2.5K
Tags: AU, Order 66 never happened. Sheevy dies via Melroun fruit. Uncle!Crosshair. Dad!Hunter. Just fluff and soft family vibes. Shooting lessons so guns mentioned
Tay's Masterlist
On AO3
Tumblr media
“Again,” Crosshair drawled, flipping his toothpick to the left side of his mouth, softly biting down to keep it in place. His knee was starting to go numb from being bent at the same angle, and he’d lost the feeling in his forearm a long time ago, but he remained by the prone youngling beside him, offering support to the DC-17 hand blaster in their hands.
The shade of a thick, tall tree protected them from the harsh sun of Takodana, and the dense part of the forest he and Nina were currently occupying protected them from the gaze of Hunter and his partner. Not that Crosshair and little Nina were doing anything wrong – it was important for a youngling to know how to protect themselves – but Crosshair wasn’t in the mood for one of Hunter’s over-protective-dad moments. Besides, it’s not his fault his niece possessed the ability of persuasion better than any Jedi mind trick. She may have been six years-old, but she knew the power widening her eyes and pouting her lips had on her uncles, especially the silver haired one.
30 minutes ago, Hunter and his partner left for the port 5 klicks away to retrieve supplies. Echo and Tech were busy, knee deep in ship repairs and diagnostics, and Wrecker wandered off with Omega, keeping an eye on her while she explored the new-to-her planet, which left Crosshair with his favorite duty – babysitter duty.
Little Nina joined their family a little over 6 years ago. Her first year was spent on Coruscant with Hunter’s partner since the galaxy was still plagued by the war, and the batch were in their usual routine of being off-planet for multiple months at a time. Crosshair gave it to Hunter. Fighting a war you were kind of just told to go fight in while your partner took on the burden of raising your first, and probably only, child as a solo-parent wasn’t easy. But they and Hunter touched base whenever he had a minute on the Marauder or at camp, trying to keep him included the best way they could.
One thing that helped keep his dad-itch satisfied was the little clone scientist that joined them after one of their breaks on Kamino. Omega, a pure genetic copy of Jango Fett and assistant in the Kamino cloning labs, was starting to drive Nala Se to insanity with her rapid, curious mind. So, after a series of brief trainings and a clear understanding of when she was to join a mission versus when she’d stay on the Marauder, the clone girl joined Clone Force 99.
Near the end of Nina’s first year, a kernel of hope planted when the Batch reported for their mission on Kaller, providing reinforcements to General Billaba’s forces, and Tech announced that General Obi-Wan Kenobi had engaged General Grievous on Utapau. When the mission was over and the batch received word that Obi-Wan had indeed defeated the last remaining Separatist leader, the Spotchka was broken out. They thought the war being over was going to be the only thing they celebrated that day, but then the news that Chancellor Palpatine had perished when he slipped on a Malroun fruit core and fell out the window of his office hit their comms. Turns out, he was a Sith trying to take over the Republic and kill the Jedi, if you can believe it. So, galaxy and Republic saved meant a lot of Spotchka was opened that night.
It was easy to predict that Hunter was going to spend the next few years on Coruscant with his family while Nina grew, but it shouldn’t have been such a surprise to him that his 4 other brothers and little sister followed right behind him. They found an apartment not far away so they could pop in to help out with the youngling when they could, but by Nina’s fifth year, the retired soldiers were getting antsy. Even Omega was starting to find the metropolis planet boring. The final push came from Hunter’s partner when they declared that if they had to look at one more durasteel wall as their view, they were going to need more than the Jedi Halls of Healing to fix their mood. So, the uncles and aunt loaded up on the Marauder, and Hunter and his family on their private ship, and the squad was off exploring the galaxy once more.
Cut back to Takodana, a quick rest while they resupplied and ran maintenance on the ships. Hunter wasn’t even past the tree-line before Nina was tugging on Crosshair’s hand, and the sniper looked down at her with a knowing smirk and a quick wink.
“Patience short stuff. Your father isn’t out of his earshot yet,” Crosshair cautioned. As if to prove his point, Hunter paused in the forest, giving a quick look back at the ship. The sniper rested his hand on Nina’s shoulder, gently nudging her into his side – more like his thigh because she barely came up to his hip – and gave Hunter a casual wave. The female replica of the sergeant took her cue from her favorite uncle – according to Crosshair – and gave her own enthusiastic wave. A distrusting, narrowed look was still on Hunter’s face before his partner nudged him along, forcing him to turn away from the very obvious duo.
Another impatient tug on Crosshair’s left arm had him chuckling. Just to tease her a little more, he casually took a toothpick out from his belt, and slowly placed it in his mouth.
“Uncle Crossy. Uncle Crossy. Uncle Crossy,” Nina started with insistent tugs.
“Yes, little Nina? Would you like something?” Crosshair played along. He knew exactly what she wanted, but what kind of uncle would he be if he just let her have whatever she wanted whenever she asked?
“Can we pleeeeeeeease go practice?” Her pleading neared top levels. Relenting, Crosshair looked down at his jewel in the galaxy. He didn’t want children, never felt the call to fatherhood like Hunter always had, but he thrived as an uncle, and he’s loved Nina as fiercely as her father has ever since he first held her. His normally snarky eyes melted once his gaze met hers. Using his exceptional eyesight, he gave one more glance through the tree-line to ensure that Hunter was out of enhanced-hearing range.
“Alright short stuff. We’re in the clear. Let’s go find a good spot.”
That was twenty minutes ago. Thanks to the forest covered area Tech found for the ships, it wasn’t hard to find a good spot for target practice that was far enough away to not get spotted incase the supply party returned early.
This little tradition of theirs started a couple months back when Crosshair was looking after Nina and she was especially restless. Nothing he tried kept her attention for more than a minute, and she was bored with all of her usual activities. As he was wracking his brain for how to occupy her, he noticed she took to picking up pebbles and throwing them at the leaves in the trees. Excitement overtook Crosshair when an idea came to mind.
Was his next decision the wisest he’s ever made? Hunter would probably argue no, Echo not far behind him, but when the sniper set up a tiny target range and handed Nina his DC-17 – supervising her the whole time of course – he’d never seen the youngling sit still for so long. Naturally, this became their little past time, one that Nina pleaded for anytime she realized Crosshair would be the one looking after her.
“I can do it, Uncle Crossy. You don’t need to hold the blaster,” his niece currently tried to bargain with him. They had the same discussion every practice, the mini-Hunter looking for independence wherever she could. Crosshair supposed she got that from Tech. He didn’t need to look far to figure out where she got her stubbornness from.
“You can shoot the blaster on your own when you can beat Uncle Tech at dejarik,” Crosshair compromised not taking his eyes off the blaster in her hands. He kept it to himself that it was impossible to beat the genius at the strategy game.
A small huff passed Nina’s lips, but she kept her green eyes trained on the target resting on a stump a few feet in front of them. Eyes narrowed and tip of her tongue poking out, she hit the trigger. Each shot reminded him how small she actually is as the minor kickback of the blaster forced his other hand to gently brace her back, keeping her from toppling over. This time she was only slightly wide on the target, a vast improvement according to the scorch marks on the trunks nearby.
“I hit it! Look Uncle Crossy! I hit it!” Nina cheered. Crosshair swiftly took the blaster out of her hands before she threw her arms up in triumph, and when she turned to him with eyes bigger than the sun shining above, he didn’t bother fighting the grin that overtook his face.
“There you go, short stuff. Told you you could do it.” The sniper lifted his hand which she enthusiastically hit with her own. “Do you want to try again?” Crosshair asked.
Nina looked to the ground for a moment, seeming to think hard about her uncle’s question. Her nose scrunched – another trait of his he smirked at – she came to a conclusion.
“I don’t think so. My arms are tired.”
Crosshair softly hummed in understanding, “Makes sense. Shooting’s tiring work.” He gave a playful squeeze to her bicep. “We’ll build up these muscles. Get you holding my firepuncher soon enough.” The promise of holding her uncle’s prized rifle had Nina’s eyes shining like gemstones, and before Crosshair caved and gave her the rifle now, he looked at his comm to check the time. They’d been out there for 45 minutes, and it was a 5 minute walk back to the Marauder.
“Alright ad’ika, time to walk back. Looks like the sun’s going down,” the sniper observed.
“Oh, can we have nerf nuggets for dinner!” Nina jumped up at the thought.
“You had nerf nuggets last night,” Crosshair countered. He knew it was useless.  
“Yessss, but I didn’t have nerf nuggets today.” How could he argue with such logic? Giving a non-committal hum, Crosshair flicked his toothpick to the side and slotted the blaster in his holster. With a hand on his niece’s back, he gently guided her back in the direction of the ship, and as they started walking, the little girl slotted a tiny hand in with his, holding onto him with a strong grip.
“Uncle Crossy,” Nina interrupted the silence.
“Yes, little Nina?” Crosshair drawled.
“Am I going to be able to shoot a rifle as good as you one day?” Big, green eyes looked up at him, not missing a step in her stride. Internally smirking, Crosshair made a mental note to make Hunter aware that his mini-me was showing more affinity towards the rifle than the knife, but that was for later.
“You have to keep practicing, but one day you might rival me,” He smirked down at her, laughing at her concentrated pout at his answer. She was as competitive as Wrecker.
After a few moments, her scrunched nose returned to its normal state, and a determined look took over.
“I’m going to be the best sniper in the galaxy and go on missions and save everyone!” Her statement was emphasized with an energetic jump, punching a victorious fist in the air.
“I’m sure you will, short stuff. Let’s not give your dad a heart attack just yet though,” the sniper playfully ruffled her hair, causing the little girl to giggle as she tried to swat him away. Soon enough, the Marauder came into view, and Nina went running towards Omega when she saw her aunt with a basket full of new treasures. Crosshair made his way to the ship intending to put the target away when Hunter walked down the gangplank.
“Where’ve you two been?” Hunter came to a stop at the bottom of the ramp, arms crossing his chest, standing with a lean.
“Forestry lesson,” Crosshair simply said, popping a toothpick in his mouth as he continued past his brother.
“Forestry lesson huh? Thought that was Tech’s thing?”
“Trying something different.”
“Oh really? And when did learning about nature involve blaster shots?” Crosshair felt Hunter’s gaze on his back, and he paused his stride to turn back towards his older brother. Guess the gig was up, but Crosshair never gave up that easily. Signature smirk gracing his lips, the sniper gave a nonchalant shrug while he met Hunter’s gaze.
“Hmm, couldn’t tell you. Couldn’t have been us. Nina was elbow deep in dirt.”
Hunter closed his eyes, took a deep inhale, and then let loose a giant sigh as he tilted his head up to the sky.
“Maker help me Crosshair,” Hunter gritted out. He took a beat before meeting Crosshair’s gaze again and pointed a finger at him. “Hand blasters only. She doesn’t go near a rifle ‘til she’s 13. Practice in view of the ship.”
Crosshair’s smirk was at full force. “Sir, yes sir.”  
Hunter gave him one more pointed look before shaking his head and letting a hint of a smile take over.
“She already asking for the firepuncher?”
“Our first session. Says she’s going to be the best sniper in the galaxy,” Crosshair answered with pride lacing his voice. Hunter groaned.
“Of course, she is. Maybe I should rethink delaying her knife lessons,” he muttered to himself.
“Don’t take it too personally, Hunter. She’s smart for her age. Recognizes talent easily.” His older brother openly glared as Crosshair finished teasing him with a pat on the shoulder. The sniper chuckled at his brother’s obviously bruised ego at his daughter choosing a rifle over his preferred skill set, but there was time. Nina’s desires changed as frequently as the wind.
“Dada, come look what Aunty Omega found!”
Both brothers laughed at Nina’s enthusiastic interruption when they noticed her hopping up and down, pointing at a basket of foliage.
“Dada will be right there, cyar’ika,” Hunter called. He turned back to Crosshair and clasped his hand over the sniper’s arm that was still resting on his shoulder.
“Thank you, Crosshair. She couldn’t have asked for a better uncle to keep her safe. Or me a better brother.” With that, he gave Crosshair a nod and made his way over to the youngling now rattling a hundred questions a minute at Omega.
Crosshair took in the scene, contentment washing over him. During the war, he didn’t think of what life could be like when it was all said and done because he never knew if he’d actually get there. Now, looking at his family, he didn’t question how he’d become so lucky to know peace like this. Per his luck though, the peace didn’t last long as he heard Hunter’s partner’s voice raise above the group.
“Crosshair’s teaching her how to WHAT?!”

Cuddle Bugs HCs
I'm feeling HELLA TOUCH STARVED and it's cold in my room (bc I'm not wearing pants bc it's summer and it's Texas is this a joke to you Mr. The Sun) and I want to talk about something sweet with the boys I've dabbled with so, HERE YA GO
A bit racy (mentions of grinding, dry humping and hickeys maybe) so MINORS DNI.
Hardcase: My boy, my sweet sweet lad. 'Course he's going to be first bc I tap into him the easiest. (We are kindred spirits.) Idk if it's canon that the clones all get into cuddle piles but might as well be. It's really casual and natural to them. But I think that with a potential S/O, Hardcase might be a bit nervous at first. Mainly because that's his person and his person is hot, so it's bound to get him wound up at some point. He knows how to Think Unsexy Thoughts to keep things from escalating though. But gods once Hardcase is more comfortable with his S/O, he wants to be glued to them ALL the time when they have the time to. 10000% believe Hardcase would give the biggest puppy dog eyes if his S/O isn't getting the hint or is busy with something when he wants to hold them/be held by them. Would get whiny, too. "Aw c'moooon cyar'ika, can't that wait???" "The couch is so comfy babe, come have a lie down with me." He's chatty when he cuddles but he can appreciate just lying in silence with his S/O, too. Just imagine how safe and warm and secure you'd feel in his arms - which I also HC are slightly bulkier than the average CT bc he carries them big guns. Hardcase is also the type to absentmindedly touch and caress his S/O the entire time he's curled up with them. Which can sometimes lead to...things, but he doesn't always mean for it to with his S/O, honest! But how can he resist when they're grinding their butt into his crotch?!
Fox: It's like pulling teeth, herding loth-cats, and getting this man to get a full eight hour's sleep just to get him to slow down long enough to cuddle. Usually Fox can only wind down long enough to cuddle with his S/O after some more...strenuous activities. ( 83c ) But once he does, ohhhh he just melts. I think Fox would actually prefer being the little spoon. Man just wants to be taken care of and turn his Commander Brain off. He's not big on talking while he's cuddling with his S/O, but sometimes he does. Usually when he initiates it after a particularly trying day dealing with senators. He just comes into his S/O's apartment ranting the second his bucket is off, grabs them and drags them to the bedroom, and both fall into the bed together. He's just venting the entire time, too. "Fucking dikut called Thorn Thire about five times, just, excuse me are you closing your eyes when you speak to them?! Their armor's completely different!" "Had the fucking nerve to ask me to help the waitstaff serve hors d'oeuvres. Sorry mate, left my fucking tux in my walk-in closet, oh fucking wait." But sometimes - sometimes there are days when he comes to his S/O needing to be held because it's the only thing that helps him sleep. For a while at least. There have been many times the two of you wake up with Fox wired, hard and needy, having shuffled around in his sleep so he's between your legs and shamelessly rutting against his S/O. Lucky for him they love being woken up this way.
Wolffe: Ooooh, Wolffie. The first few times he tries this with a partner it is the most awkward five minutes of his life. But then his S/O comes along. And it's still awkward - at first anyway. Look, it's not that he doesn't want to hold his S/O. (Wolffe is firmly in the big spoon camp about 90% of the time.) It's just that there are hundreds of things he should probably be doing. At least, these are his excuses at first. Eventually he does warm up to the idea, acting like his S/O is being just sooooo needy. But in reality, Wolffe appreciates it. The quiet, the closeness, the simple intimacy of it. Moments like these makes him feel like the war can't touch him. It's honestly a balm for the wounds he tries to keep hidden behind a dozen walls of stoicism, sarcasm, and scowls. More than once Wolffe hasn't let his S/O get up until he's damn good and ready to let them up, grumbling and grousing about it. But even more than that, cuddling up to Wolffe has led to more. A lot more. Lying all tangled up with his S/O just does things for Wolffe. It's something about the intertwined limbs, listening to each other breathe, the solid presence of his S/O all around him. As mentioned before, Wolffe prefers being big spoon, which will usually lead to him peppering soft kisses against his partner's neck and shoulders. But he waits until he feels the first shiver until he pushes a bit more, little kitten licks against their skin, ghosting his breath against all the spots he knows makes them squirm. Of course this leads to more, his teeth scraping skin, and then sinking into it as he rubs up against them. If his S/O tries to tease him about it, he teases right back. "You're the one who got it in your head that this would be all innocent." "Oh, you really thought you wouldn't tempt me when we're like this?" And his favorite to whisper in his S/O's ear because he knows it'll get them all worked up is, "Meshla, I'm just finishing what you started."
Open to more if anyone has any suggestions/requests~

Magus and/or Flea
Magus
First impression
Ohhhh big cape evil dude with one of the coolest boss themes I've ever heard!?
Impression now
Tumblr media
Favorite moment
Sighhhhh there's so many... When you really look at him he has such nuance and everything is linked and I LOVE thinking about him (been almost 15 years lol...) It's really hard to just pick one. For now, let's just say his iconic line
Tumblr media
Idea for a story
Men of Mystics
For real tho, I've wanted to do a cool horror/creepy pasta type story about Magus in relation to the black wind. I just don't know how to get the really good feeling out into words or art so it's been a few years in the back of my mind. Just something about being so young and losing your mum to the black winds, and watching your sister slowly succumb to the same thing, all before you start to hear it yourself... Yeah, I wish I had in inspiration to pull it off how I want
Unpopular opinion
A vast majority of the fandom reduce him to a gross and/or incorrect flanderization of self. That, or glossing over him entirely, when he adds so much to the narrative of ct as a whole. I still see fucking terrible takes on him as recently as 2022 lol and it makes me a bit sad. I know my interpretations won't be to everyone's liking but I've put effort into looking into him (and most the ct cast as a whole) and picking up the subtle things that are laid out right there in the source material. Looking only at him (or anyone for that matter) PURELY through a fandom lens gets tiring for me to see sometimes...
Favorite relationship
HARLAND
FOR REAL THO, ALL THESE YEARS LATER AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH SCHALA IS STILL SO NICE.... EVEN THO most of that relationship is his one sided view on it, he still dedicated most of his life working to try and avenge/save her. It's strong enough that it prevailed through to both sequels (to varying degrees and missed opportunities 🙄) because he just cared that much. Even when he's a grown man, he's still that little kid who's sad cause he misses his sister!!!!
Favorite headcanon
That the use of magic changes your appearance. I had a whole theory about hair colour and magical affinity, which explains why Magus has such a beautiful icy blue colour. It also explains why his ears got pointy, and I like to further that by imagining that he overall looks very sharp and angular, as much as a human can. I try to express that with most art I make of him, I know he's really hot and even if it's so subtle most will miss it, I try to keep him looking sharp.
///
Flea
First impression
WOAH WE'RE FIGHTING IN THE STARS!!!
(fun fact, flea was one of my very first glimpses of ct, before my very own playthrough I used to sit with my dad in his office and watch him play, and he was going through Magus' castle one of the first time I watched him!)
Impression now
EPIC NB TRANS MASC KING!!!
Favorite moment
Tumblr media
Idea for a story
Hmm... Honestly, a lot of the stuff I wanted to explore for him (+the other generals) is gong into men of mystics. I've always just wanted to kinda explore the behind the scenes lives of everyone leading up to the war in 600ad, and that's exactly what men of mystics is - all that boring stuff, but harland is there :p
Unpopular opinion
Flea is not trans fem. Let trans mascs have this one, he literally says 'hey, I'm a guy'
I'm not saying this as a dig at trans fems, if they see something in him and connect with him that way I love to see it - I'm saying as a trans masc myself who often feels like people hear the word 'trans' and think it only means 'trans woman,' let us have this one and respect the masc despite appearing androgynous/feminine, I talked about it a little while ago here
Favorite relationship
Honestly? With slash and ozzie. I'm soooo interested in how the dynamic between the three of them plays out, I love thinking about the antics they'd get up to while they were rising to general status
Favorite headcanon
Honestly not so much a hc but more trying to bring back the aspects of Flea that were lost through translation. Mainly the amazing pun on his name making him talk real flirty. I wish there was a way we could have all the little nuances brought over to eng, I could talk about them all day....

More CT OC(s)
I officially have no self control so here is a third OC/sona/whatever (and probably not the final one).
@literalgarbageaus
Name: Victoria (actually prefers her full name but people seem to like to give her nicknames)
Age: 29. She will offer it but ask her directly and she’ll ignore you or tell you to guess. Don’t be wrong, she’s petty as hell about it.
Looks: A baby face, rather short in stature with hair for days. Attractive or not she enjoys dolling herself up whatever suits her mood.
History: Abandoned young she grew up poor in the streets, and it showed when she was finally picked up by the Orphan Train and shipped out to the West it was a culture shock and far tougher than she’d expected. Older and unwilling to change Victoria ran from her the people who poked and prodded her like prime cattle to be “adopted”. Instead she took odd jobs, usually from people feeling sorry for her and those jobs eventually landed her in a brothel struggling to gain enough money to leave. When the monsters broke the surface and opened their own brothel, Victoria was quick to jump ship at the whispers of more money and “better” customers. A brothel is a brothel but this one gave the woman something she hadn’t had before: friends. She settled into something she could almost say she was content with but she knows she wants more but damned if she can put to words what it is.
Personality: She presents a vivacious, sharp-tongued, confident, and aggressive individual and those are true but truer still is how soft she is. Her world has never been easy, much by her own making, but Victoria is weak and hugs her vices to mask them. Drink, sex, and more though she has been tempted by far worse once upon a time. None of these are hidden, she is an open book in the sense if you ask, she will tell all. But good luck asking her how she actually feels about something because suddenly she will find interest in literally anything else. A quick crier she is actually fairly sensitive and hates it, refusing to acknowledge when she is crying and making up ridiculous excuses for why (sweating out of her eyes, rain, the ocean slapped her, etc) because she is an awful liar. Awkward with true attachment, she is clumsy to show she cares though she stubbornly tries and tends to latch onto anyone she cares for, refusing to be abandoned again. A bit like a child in the sense outside of her profession she lacks many basic skills, like cooking, sewing, etc and it is a sore spot for her. Seeing people preform these simple acts in a home is something that brings her real joy. When angry her tongue gets sharper and if words don’t work, she can throw a mean right hook.
Fears: Being abandoned, thunder, sudden and loud noises
Dislikes: Summer, most meats, photos of herself
Likes: Train rides, sweets, jewelry, green, napping
Favorite(s): Funnel cake, cats, sea glass, sunflowers
Dreams: She’ll tell people it’s to be rich and thats not a lie but her real dream is far simpler: a home, a job where she can sing and maybe empty a few pockets while they’re distracted.
Other notes: Loves to sing and isn’t half bad. Has trouble sleeping and often wanders around at night if not working. This means she naps whenever the urge to finally sleep hits and is found in the weirdest places. Contrary to what some think she enjoys her work. Has a bad habit of trying to make friends with every animal in her path, most do not like her, including cats and her hands are often covered in scratches. But hey, this doesn’t stop the strays from demanding food because she won’t stop feeding them. Is ‘secretly’ teaching herself domestic skills, if anyone calls her on it she straight up flees, as she is prone to do when genuinely embarrassed (as her tongue fails her). Queen of “try anything once”. People who remember who from her less…presentable times call her icky Vicky. Her past gave her quite the quick hand, she dabbles in stage magic and is known to filch extra off her customers.
Crush: Flint
Friends: Shine, Calico
Meeting Shine: Birds of a feather. They probably started as drinking buddies, with similar outlooks on many things. Most importantly Shine never minded her sharp tongue, she never minded his ability to pry things she never bothered to keep secret anyway.
Friends Things: Sings for him a lot to help him tune things out, he talks her out of darker vices. She steals pointy things for him, he brings her knickknacks. It works.
Meeting Calico: Loves Calico but his more genuine nature often flusters her. They probably became friends through Shine. She loves his otherworldliness and he doesn’t seem to mind her childlike wonder when he knows things.
Friend Things: Helps her with animals, she often 'buys' him clothes/teas she thinks he’ll like. Her go to non-work-related intimacy, and they swap sleight of hand tricks.
Fool Me Once (first meet): Flint was trying a plant, as he was known to do when a likely half drunken Victoria decided it must be fun and wanted to. Flint may or may not have encouraged it until he realized she was friends with Shine and steered her to “tastier” (see: less murdery) plants.
Fool Me Twice (second meet): He was probably a client or convinced her he was. Probably skipped on paying and God damn it that comes out of her pay! Is tempted to murder a skeleton but she did probably manage to filch something of his. It’s even.
Fool Me Thrice (third meet): A certain skeleton wants his stuff back, a certain brothel worker wants to get paid. An accord is made. But oops a certain someone paid in fake coin, at least it’s chocolate and a certain other someone definitely took something else.
And beyond: What do you mean she doesn’t know how to flirt outside of work? He likes plants she got him one to eat. What do you mean it’s not the same? "Buying" food was the same as making it, stop giving her that look, Shine! Asking someone for a walk at midnight is a perfectly acceptable date and not the weird, shut up. She’s got this.

Can u do one where killjoy is sleep deprived as heck but is somehow getting headshot after headshot on a mission??
[Hey anon, sorry this took me a while, I've been kind of addicted to Genshin Impact]
Warning: Contains swear words in german because she would definitely do that.
Tumblr media
Sleep-Deprived Battle KJ HC's
- Alright. Why has KJ been staying up all night? Yup, fixing up her robots again because a certain rowdy Brazilian decided to bomb her alarm bot in the last mission.
- Also, Cypher. Yup, he was trying to steal her blueprints and soldering iron, yet again. Scheisse! Can't she get some peace around here?
- Now everyone wonders why she's grumpy, ugh.
- "C'mon kid, just drink some coffee with sugar, It will brighten you right up." Brim would recommend her. It was nice to see that someone actually cared-
- "We have a mission so we need ya ready."
- Ah, of course. A mission. When she could barely find her glasses that were sitting on her head, thankfully Sova helped with that.
- Breeze. Oh god. KJ hated this location, it had too many flanking positions she would have to cover with her bots, too many hide holes, and places people could just shoot her turret down.
-So KJ decided, fuck it, time to be a duelist I guess, I don't have the mental capacity for this right now.
- Phoenix and Jett were surprised, to say the least, as she was in the front with them with her Ghost ready.
- "Joy, you good girl?" The fire-kissed boy questioned only to hear what sounded like a sigh and a grumble from a very tired KJ.
- "Yeah." She simply replied, before heading into B site.
- Bam. Headshot.
- "Woaaah!" Jett beamed as she saw the perfect head KJ just did to the enemy.
- "Nice shot, nerd!" Breach would chime in just to tease her, the team advanced more into the site with the help of Brim's smokes and Breach's flashes. KJ swore she would kill Breach right here if even one of his flashes blinded her.
- "Enemy in CT!" Phoenix shouted to get help from his team while he was covering mid.
- KJ just casually walked to CT, not even bothering to sprint with her stamina level right now, and just shot the enemy in the face, again.
- "Careful! Two rushing mid!" One of her mates pointed out, but she was too tired to figure out who did it. She turned around and saw two enemies coming at her, she simple headshot one, and the other went down as well as he was standing behind the other.
- "Ok, what's going on." Brim went to her as Jett finished another enemy who was flanking in B Main.
- Grumpy and tired, KJ looked up at Brim. "I'm tired, I want more coffee and Jett stole my penta."

05.      hc’s.
dylan was a football player in high school, believe it or not. he was rather good at it too, which is sort of jarring considering his pacifistic nature. however, he DID land on someone incorrectly at some point during his senior year, and broke their wrist. he quickly abandoned the sport altogether because of how guilty he felt. 
touched on this briefly but dylan really… loves indiana jones lmao. like, it’s quite ironic given his absolutely inability to be a badass, and lack of suaveness. however, he admires indy’s lust for adventure. he also was obsessed with the mummy as a kid. both of these were incredible sources in his very irrational decision to sudden anthropology. however, he does really love and admire anthropology. his favorite ethnography is the spirit catches you and you fall down, which makes him cry like a little bitch every time he even thinks about it. 
he’s the second oldest, but he is also baby. he is SUCH a big momma’s boy. he misses his mom so much. he writes to her often, and of course calls her even more. despite being six-foot tall, he still goes home and rests his head on his mother's lap, falls asleep as she runs her fingers through his hair. he often tries to find native english plants and flowers to press, and mail back to his mother in the form of bookmarks. has nEVER STEPPED ON A CRACK IN HIS LIFE, BABY.
just leaves a shit ton of notes in books in the library. some are riddles, some are poetry, some are commentary on the book, some are doodles. just depends on how he’s feeling for that book. he doesn’t tell anyone he does it, but he’s waiting for someone to connect the dots with his handwriting and writing style. 
speaking of plants, his room is basically a big greenhouse. he has so many plants, and takes serious care of them all. he has a little humidifier in his space for them, marks down when he waters what plants, and has a label maker to label them all with a name. they are all named after shakespeare characters. 
dyl is a doodler, so much so that he contributes to the school paper as a cartoonist. his cartoons are usually just random thoughts he has, but sometimes they get political and he works marxism into them. (this man loves marx.) 
[ suicide implied tw, death mention tw ] he dresses like a victorian boy in love with his roommate who has recently died of scarlet fever and in his mourning, plans to disappear in the bog by the school by mysterious circumstances and become a ghost that haunts the college with his lover. like lots of gray and slacks and ties ands ties and sweaters, lol. also he has glasses that he never wears because he can never find them! catch him squinting in your classroom because he can’t see SHIT. too shy to ask you for your notes though, doesn’t wanna inconvenience you! but when he’s Out on the Town®, he fucking wears like, tacky patterned shirts that are expensive but ugly. someone please help him. 
all about fun socks! he loves owning socks that have dumb little images on them. if you get him a pair of fun socks, he’d absolutely go nuts. his entire week: made. 
he leaves his roommate limericks when he senses they are sad. tapes em to the bathroom mirror or leaves them in the fridge. also loves buying people presents. tiny ones. like haunted looking things from second hand stores, or your favorite chocolate. also is the sort of friend that has EVERYTHING in his bag, in case someone cuts themselves or has a headache. can be a bit of a mom himself. it’s the little things, y’know? 
prob still in his emo phase. listens to way too mcr to not be lmao.
eco-friendly king, will not stand for you not recycling. 
if you will allow him, he will attempt to have a secret handshake with you. he’s a child. is dying for someone to memorize the parent trap handshake and indulge him. 
cannot sit still in a chair. fidgets an excessive amount, the bobbing of his knee and the squirming around. it just never ends. 
bi. that’s the hc.
he’s a little bit in love with everyone he meets if you couldn’t tell, and it’s fucking disastrous. 
he is based loosely off: patroclus ( the song of achilles ), ponyboy curtis ( the outsiders ), laurie laurence ( little women ), eduardo saverin ( the social network ), remus lupin ( hp ), oliver marks ( if we were villains. )

Let Me Take Your Hand, I'll Make It Right
Nico Kim/Levi Schmitt
Stress relief comes in many forms.
(hc inspiration from this post)
Warning: Racism
It's surprising the cases they've had lately at Grey Sloan. All of a sudden the most mundane injuries that people come to the ER for is down to nothing. They still had their influx of non covid patients, legitimate ones at least. Mostly food poisoning; weird but not surprising since people have gone into the trend of experimental baking during lockdown and the occasional injuries that happen when families get too bored in the house. 
He heard it before he actually saw it, a shout of an angered man and Levi rushes to the pit to check the commotion and he just came right at the time that his ex-boyfriend had been punched in the face by a distraught-looking man.
He saw Dr. Hunt and even Ben Warren coming to his aid but they were barely able to reach Nico before the blow was made. 
"I SAID NO CHINESE DOCTORS!" The man bellowed and tried to make another move towards Nico but Ben was able to pull him back and restrain him while Dr. Hunt had used himself as a barrier between Nico and the man. 
"Sir, calm down. This is a hospital and you are causing a disturbance. And you're not supposed to be in here, patients only." Dr. Hunt had one arm towards the man as he tried to reason with him. "Dr. Kim is not Chinese, he is negative from the virus and he is our only orthopaedic expert right now who can see your daughter's broken shoulder."
Levi checks the surroundings and indeed sees a teenage girl on a gurney, crying and clutching her injured arm. She was trying to get her father's attention, shaking her head hysterically but the man only kept staring daggers at Nico. 
"Exactly why I snuck in here! I saw that man attending to my daughter! Chinese, Asian, whatever! They're all the same! How can you keep people like THAT working in the hospital! They caused this virus and he still has the nerve to show up here?!" 
Levi exhales sharply and walks briskly to the nearest nurse station to check if security has been called, to his relief they've already called them as soon as they heard the man raise his voice. Levi looks back at Nico and his expression is merely blank, looking at the floor as if he's tuned everything out. He can see blood through his mask and some trickle from his brow, the exposed cheekbone is forming a nasty bruise, he's not gonna be surprised if his lip is cut too. 
The nurses nearest to the ruckus were too afraid to come near and so Levi took it upon himself to get something from the instruments cart that Nico can wipe his face with.
He walks quietly, closer to the scene and kneels by Nico.
"Here." he whispers softly, handing some tissues to Nico.
Nico startles and that seems to get him out of his daze, looking up at Levi and slowly takes the offered tissue. He slightly lower his mask and starts dabbing at his bloodied nose. Security came right at that moment and pulled the hollering man out of the pit, his daughter sobbing loudly.
Together with Dr. Hunt they helped Nico up, "Dr. Kim, go and get checked in one of the private rooms. I'll see if I can, uh, call Dr. Lincoln to step in for this girl. I wouldn't in normal circumstances but you're pretty bashed up. Please know it's nothing to do with what that man said. Go get yourself cleaned up and have some rest."
Nico merely nods and allows the nurses to help steer him out of the pit. Taryn comes in just in time, surprise on her face when she gets a glimpse of Nico and saunters to Levi, most likely to ask what happened. 
Levi could only rub his forehead as he retells the story and is halfway through when a nurse comes to disturb them.
"Dr. Schmitt, sorry to interrupt but Dr. Kim has asked for you in on call room 6. He doesn't want to be seen by anyone else." Taryn pointedly looks at Levi as he catches her eyes. 
"I'll take over here and.." she pauses, raising a finger towards Levi, "I'm only allowing this because he got sucker punched in the face. You... You better not wear your heart on your sleeve. Now go see what Asian Ken doll wants."
He gives her a small smile and thanks the nurse as he makes his way to the on call room. He grabs a first aid kit on the way just in case and knocks on the door before going in.
"Hi.. What are you doing in an on call room?You were supposed to be in one of the private rooms." Levi steps over to him and he was sitting up on the bed, mask off but was inspecting his injury on his phone. 
"You haven't been seen to?" Levi asks, pulling a chair over and puts the first aid kit on his lap. 
Nico shakes his head, putting his phone down and meets Levi's eyes. "No. I can only trust you." 
"Nico, the nurses are just as capable to tend to you, you know?" 
"I know just... Please?" He looks at Levi pleadingly and the resident can only sigh and nod. Taryn told him not to put wear his heart on his sleeve but how can he when the person he still loves is hurting.
"Okay." He opens the first aid kit and starts cleaning Nico's wounds and he was right, not only did he got hit on the side of his face and nose but his lip got cut but not too bad to require stitches. 
He could feel Nico looking at him, looking at his eyes as he works on the wounds. He tries his best not to flush but Nico's always had a strong look that can weaken his knees especially when he's looking at Levi. If Nico notices Levi's hands trembling he doesn't show it. 
Applying a small wound strip on his lip as the last part, he sits back and finally meets Nico's eyes. The fellow had never stopped looking at Levi the whole time.
"Are you okay?" He asks softly and knowing full well his question can be consider stupid after what happened, he still asks. 
Nico is silent for awhile, just staring into Levi's eyes before he lowers his gaze, clasping his fingers together.
"5th."
"Sorry, what? 5th?"
Nico nods, expression numb and his tone equally numb when he spoke, "5th.. He was the 5th person today to tell me not to go anywhere near them and the numbers go higher throughout the day. I've not only been counting patients I've lost but also patients who have rejected me. Patients who I attended before the pandemic and had to come in for emergency cases and rejecting me, asking for Link instead. Some end up agreeing when they're told Link is on paternity leave and some go home without being seen to. Saying they'll go to another hospital."
Levi's heart breaks right then and there and he can't imagine how much Nico's heart is breaking.
"Nico... I'm so sorry. I.. I never realised how much you've been going through." He takes a deep breath, raising his hand in an attempt to cover Nico's but stops himself midway. Nico noticed the gesture but doesn't move nor react. 
"I got used to it over time. People are scared, worried and they just want to stay alive."
"Yes but Nico they shouldn't be afraid of you. You are not the virus. You get swabbed every week and come out negative. You don't need to suffer silently."
"Levi, this hospital is already going through hell. If I can ignore the abuse I do. I treat who wants to be treated and those who don't want me I make sure I recommend them to the best orthopaedic surgeon in another hospital. It's part of the job."
"It's not, you know it's not.." Levi tries to argue but even he is at a loss of words. He doesn't know how to make this better, how to make people not be afraid of Nico. "Has this been going on for months?"
Nico nods but his expression doesn't change. Levi studies his face for awhile and he must admit it's been awhile since he's seen Nico without a mask on and just actually look at him without doing all the other things they've been doing normally in on call rooms. He misses these moments where they can just be and having each other's presence was enough to make everything right. 
"What can I do?" Levi says softly he isn't sure if Nico heard it especially with his mask still on. 
Nico slowly looks up at Levi and his face is showing like he's debating on something before he responds, "Stress relief."
Did Levi hear that right? He blinks a few times, shock evident in his eyes as he makes sure he heard it correctly.
"Stress relief? Stress relief as in.. now?" He must've looked comical,which is a success in itself since half of his face is covered, because Nico chuckles and smiles. 
That smile reached Levi's heart and he hasn't seen that smile in months. Even when fooling around lately he actually hasn't seen Nico's real smile. 
"Yeah stress relief." He's smirking now and Levi wonders how Nico Kim can still look hot smirking with bruised and bloody lips. 
"I mean.. Okay if that's your thing but you should really be resting."
"Can you sit next to me?" 
Levi raises a brow, putting away the first aid kit on his lap and placing it on a table. He moves to sit on the edge of the bed next to Nico.
"Did you get punched that hard? I mean should we ask for a CT?"
"Turn around."
"What? Nico are you okay? and like not feelings-wise but like in the head.. How many fingers am I holding up?" Levi waves a peace sign in front of Nico but the other just kept staring at him with a small smile on his face at Levi's antics.
"Turn around Levi."
Levi huffs and gives in turning around, his back now facing Nico. He nearly jumps out of his skin when arms wrap around his waist from behind and Nico touched his forehead to Levi's shoulder. 
His hands hang in the air awkwardly as Nico hugs him from the back, not really sure what to do until he hears soft sniffling from behind him and his heart breaks at the sound. He places one hand on the arms that seems to cling tighter and tighter and the other reaches back until he can pet Nico's hair carefully. 
He closes his eyes as he keeps hearing the sniffling and ragged breaths of Nico's cries and he too feels like he's gonna break down just from hearing it but he has to be strong. Strong for the person who he's known to only be strong and act strong. 
Levi allows Nico to cry it all out. He doesn't know if he's crying out the today or the past week, past months or perhaps he's crying out everything he's never cried out before but he knows they've been there for a long time like that because he could feel how stiff his body is from being in the same position for so long. It's a surprise no one has come looking for him but he guessed Taryn had something to do with it. 
Nico's hold finally relaxes and he leans back on the headboard again, not bothering to wipe his tears. He merely swallows thickly and closes his eyes. "Thank you, Levi." 
Levi turns around and this time he doesn't hesitate to place a hand on Nico's, "I can't make people change their prejudices but I can be here, I'm always here. For this kind of stress relief and the other." He grins sheepishly and it makes Nico open his eyes and chuckle at him.
"I miss seeing your whole face." He admits and once again Levi's heart soars. 
"Nico-..." He starts and of course he gets paged. They were bound to need him soon enough. "Page, non covid and all other residents have their hands full. I gotta go."
Nico merely nods, that soft expression still on his face. 
"Get some rest and just.. tell me, us, anyone.. If you need anything." He walks backwards, trying to keep Nico in his sight for as long as he can before he walks out the door. 
_
This was Levi's 7th devastating news to give out and this was the worst today. The patient was about to get married, they've made plans to have a small ceremony, just them and their parents and it was 4 days before the wedding when she started getting symptoms. She died and they didn't even know she was 4 weeks pregnant. Her fiance is practically on the floor sobbing, his mother holding him. Levi is just stood there, unable to do much. He stands there until the mother and son manages to get up and give him a quick thank you before leaving. 
He clutches his tablet to his chest, letting out a shaky breath and trying to keep from tearing up. He gets a message on his phone and it's.. it's from Nico.
Come see me. The usual.
He isn't sure what to make of it and he pockets his phone. He hasn't had a break yet and so can do with some while he goes to find Nico.
After that time Nico got punched, they've only come to each other for sexual relief. It's like Nico has cried out everything and is back to himself completely. They don't talk about that time and Levi doesn't allow himself to be confused by that time. He takes what he can from Nico and leaves it at that or so he makes himself believe but he's getting better at this purely physical thing. 
He makes it to their usual on call room and as soon as he opens the door he is already talking, "Look Nico I'm not in the mood. Can we do this another time?"
"I saw you just now.. Breaking the news to that family. Must've been hard." 
Levi is taken aback because he didn't see him around that time.
"I was just behind you, updating another family. You looked like you had an even harder time breaking the news to them."
"She.. She was pregnant and.. They didn't even know and they were supposed to get married in a few days." He shudders out a breath, hugging himself as he shares the news. 
"Okay." Is all Nico says before he turns around, back now facing Levi and oh... 
He knows he shouldn't and he knows they need to talk if they keep doing this for each other, being there for each other but right now he just needs this.. needs Nico. 
And so he wraps his arms around Nico's waist, rests his forehead on his broad back and cries, not even caring that he is now full on sobbing and Nico, he rests his hands on Levi's arms and eventually takes one of his hands and intertwine their fingers together as Levi keeps crying on him. 
They both know they're blurring the lines again and Nico isn't sure if he is ready for that. They're at the precipice where it may just go downhill if they make the wrong move.
But for now.. he holds Levi and lets him cry.

The topic of Gojo and loneliness is interesting, since he never had anyone growing up. But it’s because of that he never really cared since you cannot miss what you never had anyway. But then Geto comes in, and they are best friends and he’s Gojo’s one and only, and when you take that away, for Gojo to go from nothing to someone who had everything to someone who had nothing all over again after just a few short years, it’s just too sad
And I made myself sad again whoops
YES exactly! And I like to hc that Gojo and Geto initially had a rough relationship when they first met, mainly because of the boorish way Gojo interacts with others (ch 96, him saying “Don’t look at me you small fry” has me rolling every time💀💀 ).
Because imagine being told throughout your childhood that you will likely be one of the strongest sorcerers in this generation, then meeting someone whose powers might even rival yours? The change from possibly being the strongest -> Gojo accepting that he and Geto are the strongest together -> the duo being broken and Gojo needing to be the strongest without Geto is such whiplash.
Imo they would’ve been such a formidable duo, and maybe if they worked with Yuki, they could’ve contributed a lot to finding and possibly even ending the root problem of curses. Gojo’s birth brought a imbalance to the world with an uptick in powerful curses. Then Geto is born, whose CT would allow him to collect these powerful curses and potentially restore the balance that was lost. Both of their presences complement each other pretty well that it can’t be a coincidence.
Geto understood him in ways others couldn’t. To have that gone, and knowing something was up but not being able to effectively communicate your concerns....ugh yeah it’s gutting. And Gojo likely kept all of that bottled up, too, especially bc he’s never experienced a relationship like that.
And what drives this home is that Geto was his moral compass. It makes their last meeting as teenagers so much more impactful. Geto, his moral compass, says Gojo can kill him if he wants. One of the most important decisions in Gojo’s life that Geto expects Gojo to make on his own is whether he should kill his best friend or not!1!!1 like what?!?1?1?1 so not only is his best friend gone, but Gojo’s possibly also wondering how much he’s at fault for causing that and whether he even made the right choice or not.
There’s so many other thoughts that subtly hint at how much this falling out affected Gojo (or this could be me obsessing over satosugu which yeah probs is)
Like in the LN, Gojo mentions that being a sorcerer also means feeing worse over time as you deal with more and more curses, this feeling enough to want him to get drunk when Nanami says it’s similar to getting an accumulation of curses within oneself. Gojo, who dislikes drinking, would considering getting drunk at this idea which is awfully similar to his best friend’s CT/literally has curses inside him
Or when he hears Getwo right before he’s captured by the prison realm. His face obviously looks shocked but also so young. Like he physically regressed back into his high school years as he remembered his memories with Geto
Anon I also made myself sad😭

you!!! you get it!! yuki's entire existence feels like such a slap to the face for the spvs. shes the only one that escaped n has a ct but she still ended up fighting n dying for tengens sake, despite building up herself from the ground (i dont think the higher ups wouldve rly empathized with her situation, most definitely made it wayy more difficult to deal with, if geto n gojo had such a hard time she prolly got much worse 💀). i wonder what it wouldve been like to hear all the spv xP but alas we can only hope gege remembers this bit....yeah honestly i wish we got more drama out of their interactions n a bit of yukis own childhood instead of choso crying abt his brothers for the nth time 😭 pls tell me more abt the thoughts u have abt those two its always nice to read see ur thoughts (me who has read every single kenjin fic on your ao3 😁😁😁) the tengen situation rly showed who all read the manga n who all just saw the pictures n came up with their on hc for the situation 💀
Thank you for reading my fics <3 it means a lot to me
Well, we don't know if she's the only SPV with a CT, but I'm sure it's why she was able to escape. Riko doesn't seem to have one and that might be one of the reasons why Tengen saw her as an ideal candidate. We don't know about the other two that got merged, but it would make sense for Tengen to choose the ones that would have less means of defending themselves. The Heian one might've had one because that was probably still more of an experimental phase and she might have had less options, unlike now where there are multiple popping up in one generation and she picks the ones with characteristics she likes most and who probably also have a closer match.
So Tengen most likely knew Yuki's CT, but didn't tell the higher-ups, since Kenjaku got their help, but couldn't find it out. They basically promoted her to special grade based on mission results and I assume a good word from Tengen. That might've also helped her break through the glass ceiling of misogyny. As we see with Maki, it really doesn't matter how skilled you are, you can only advance as far as they let you and if you're a woman or they don't like you for some other reason, you're not getting anywhere. But she had her results to show off and what Tengen says goes, so they couldn't protest. It's impressive that she managed to keep her CT and status as former SPV a secret for so long, although the foreign missions definitely helped there.
I'd also like to have a bit more background on Yuki. Did she have the same religious upbringing as Riko? She was likely groomed into a sacrificial mindset too, so what made her be able to resist that? Did Tengen wait too long and teenage hormones ruined it for her? Just natural instincts? She is very rebellious in general after all. How did her first meeting with Tengen go down? So many questions that will likely never get answered. But that also means there is no limit for how we can imagine it all happening.
It's a real shame that Tengen and her intentions and past never really got questioned by anybody besides Kenjaku. Yuki has her complaints, but she ultimately doesn't do anything about them. Gojo suggested at one point to kill Tengen if she wants to force the merger with Riko, but apparently completely forgot about that once Toji came into the picture. He was so close to the root of the problem, but then didn't act on it. Riko would've died anyway, even if Toji wasn't around, just in a different way. And even if they managed to rescue Riko, it would've been some other kid that got sacrificed in her stead.
Mind you, I don't think Gojo could ultimately do anything against Tengen, certainly not at 16. He wouldn't even be able to touch her and she knows the capabilities of six eyes users better than everyone else. But I feel like an effort should have been made. The issue should be addressed. There could've been a lot of interesting stuff between Tengen and him too. After all, she also created him to make him protect her, so if he went against that, that would be a nice source of conflict. But I don't think he knows about his purpose and will likely never find out about it.
Either way, I would've liked more skepticism of Tengen in general. Kenjaku brings up right to Yuki's face that there is something very important about the Culling Game that Tengen has been keeping from them, but nobody fucking listens to them. It's so frustrating. Megumi also brings up that they should maybe not 100% trust Tengen, but nothing comes off it. The kids get so caught up in their plans and the opponents that keep popping up around them, that they forget who put them in this situation in the first place. That's how Tengen likes things to go I guess. Make people just forget about her and that's how she keeps getting away with it. And she relies a lot on the influence she established early on.

HI babies i’m kristin and i’m so excited to be BACK bc i love veritas w my whole entire heart and?????? wow. i’m sick and got sent home early from work because of it so i’m a tired binch but i’m here and ready 2 party. i meant to have an insta graphic and playlist done but,,,,,, yikes. so maybe i’ll post those later. if you’d like to plot (or keep with the old plots we had for old members) give this a LIKE or give me a message on here or discord!!!!
stats page // connections page // pinterest board
the basics!
full name: cassidy turner skeleton: the influencer age: 21 major: musical theatre clubs: theatre, campus media (photographer), campus radio job: waitress at giovanni’s
the rest
tw: mentions of death, depression, alcohol
sO cassidy is the oldest of five kiddos. she’s got a twin brother that she’s older than by ten minutes, a half brother (13), and two half sisters (15 and 11)
cass and her twin brother were born in ashmont, ct to rebecca turner and an unknown man (to the twins anyway). their mom always claims it was a fling. he was a musician, and he had left before she found out she was pregnant.
so here you have a 20 year old suddenly now raising twins on her own. she actually did pretty well for the most part and raised her kids to be gr8
cassidy doesn’t ever TRY to be bitter abt it but sometimes it just,,,, happens??? and she hates herself for it bc he didn’t know but how do u leave a pregnant lady on her own idk
when the twins were four, their mom met a  man and eventually married him!! they had three kids over the next few years, which now upped the kiddo count to 5 and they were one big happy family!!!
tbh cass saw him as her father, since he was around from when she was really young, and he was a big part of her life growing up
around this time she met daisey and the two became fast friends!! they spent basically every day together throughout their childhood (more on that later)
but THEN, tragedy struck (bc why would i let my muses be happy who do u think i am)
when cassidy was 15, her step father unexpectedly passed away, and the family was left without any direction. they didn’t have a lot of money to begin with, but now one income to feed six people was not an easy task.
with the combination of grieving, money stress, and probably fear,  her mother fell into a deep depression, finding a coping mechanism through booze. she lost her job along the way, and slowly the money that was left was fading fast.
cass and her twin brother basically took that as a sign that they needed to take responsibility to keep their family alive, so they immediately took up any jobs they could find, just to keep money coming in.
most of their paychecks went into a bank account that would help the kids get by, since their mother didn’t do much of anything to help anymore.
this situation really tore up cassidy’s relationship with her mom, and most of what she feels is resentment and anger towards her mother, even though her brother doesn’t have that same opinion.
around this same time, her friendship with daisey started to fall apart, quicker than she would have imagined. it was a natural drift, coming apart due to daisey’s increasing popularity and cassidy’s lackthereof. nothing was malicious, which made it even tougher. she still misses that friendship sometimes, despite what others say about the girl.
throughout high school, cassidy worked her hardest to get high grades, because she knew that without a scholarship she wouldn’t be able to afford college otherwise.
she hardly got anything below an A, was involved in everything club that she could, and graduated as the salutatorian. she worked hard enough to receive enough scholarship money to cover most of her cost in school.
she’s currently in her final year as a musical theatre major!!!! she’s a nerd abt it too don’t open up a conversation about theatre unless u wanna lose a few hours
(here’s where i start pulling things directly from  my app so they’re getting longer)
cassidy has been involved in so many creative arts let me tell u. she discovered her first love in theatre at seven years old, which was soon followed by singing and dance lessons within the year. throughout the next decade, her love for the performing and the visual arts only grew over time, and some new passions were also discovered.
she also found that she had a talent in photography and writing when she was in high school after a friend convinced her to sign up for the yearbook. what started as just a way to gain another credit and add to her college applications turned into a passion that she would continuously want to pursue. it wouldn’t be her career, but she’d always find a way to keep doing it.
because of these passions, it was no surprise that cassidy would take to social media as another creative outlet. what started out as just posting videos from theatre performances on youtube began to grow into something more, and before she knew it, she was a recognizable name on the platform. she hadn’t planned on becoming an internet personality, but  now that she has, she wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
cassidy has been actively posting videos on youtube for about three years now (essentially since starting college), and her channel currently has about 120 thousand subscribers. her channel mainly focuses on theatre related content, vlogs, advice, and a handful of videos related to bullet journaling and challenges.
a lil hc- cass’ channel is basically a  mix of katherine steele and jenna marbles
she also has a pretty strong following on instagram, so she’s all abt aesthetics and making her page always look neat and pretty
cassidy can be described as a walking advice column disguised as a mom friend. she is incredibly warm and welcoming, (which can even be seen in the clothes she chooses to wear), and she always has a kind word or smile to give anyone that crosses her path on a day to day basis.
she has been known in the past to strike up a conversation with a stranger, just because she liked their shirt, or they share the same coffee order. if someone comes up to her on the street needing advice, she’ll give it to them in a heartbeat, even it’s a simple “dump him”. she’d probably give you the shirt off her back if you asked her nicely (pls ask nicely)
she doesn’t like to make a habit of sharing some of the deep dark past things that were mentioned earlier, mainly because of how many of her classmates come from money. because of this, she’s never truly felt like she fit in amongst the wealthy community that attends and surrounds the university. she’s always trying to fit in with her peers, but nothing ever seems to be enough.
ever since the news of daisey’s disappearance, cassidy has truly been at a loss for words, or even thoughts. for almost fifteen years of her life, there had hardly been a day where cassidy  wouldn’t see daisey’s face, even in passing between classes after their friendship ended. since then, she still looks for her as she walks around campus, as if the whole thing was a dream, and daisey rutherford is still around and running st. etienne university.
okAY now its time for some lil fun facts and hcs!!
stans john mulaney don’t @ me
cries all the time bc a bitch is fuLL of emotions lskfjsldk. soft commercial? tears. she’s happy? crying. she saw a dog on the street?? grab the tissues. she’s a mess
her style varies but she always keeps a jacket or sweatshirt in her bag bc she’s cold a lot but also comfort™
started working in campus radio her freshman year just to try it out but now she rlly loves it!!!!!
has been in a ton of shows throughout her childhood. if you feel like looking at a mild shitpost i made for her, check out cassidy’s theatre resume (which is normal until the bottom)
honestly? just wants to give everyone hugs
this is so long im tired the end

one thing I dont get is why people say ragna is dumb filling the typical shonen manga protagonist role of being book dumb but good at fighting, and why rachel like in chronophantasm extend where we got to see abridged version of CS mocks ragna for not heeding her warnings that ragna couldnt beat terumi when she didnt tell him about terumi creating the grimoire and being able to shut it down or being vague
Ah finally, an actual question from you.
Yeah that’s one thing I dislike about Rachel. I mean I GET that she has to be vague due to her being the Onlooker, and saying too much might count as “interfering” with someone who is as directly involved as Ragna, but she should know that she sounds like she’s just saying “You suck, you can’t win” like she always has said, and doesn’t let Ragna know what the real issue is.
I mean her and Jubei both give Ragna these cryptic warnings, almost like they expect him to KNOW all the timeloop bullshit going on (shown in Ragna’s alt ending w Jubeiand Rachel’s alt ending with him in CT). Ragna at that moment in the story, has NO reason to give a fuck about being a “Guardian of the Azure” or to give a shit about the world in any way.
Ragna’s “world” was his family: The Sister, Saya, and Jin. But that is GONE now. And to him, the world outside of that is full of assholes who treat you like hell. I mean his first years of his life are being a lab rat. I feel like this contributes greatly to his rebellious and asshole nature, those scientists wouldn’t listen to being nice or anything like that, so Ragna had to get loud and mean for them to fuck off. It is literally his survival method. But everyone is just expecting him to just let go of that, and do good just because “it’s the right thing to do.”
Think of Superman, would Supes be the same hero if he didn’t have the small town origins, and wasn’t raised by good folks like the Kents?
It’s the whole nature and nurture kind of thing, and since Ragna and his sibs are artificial humans, the nature part is kind of out the window, and the first years of their lives....they weren’t exactly “nurturing” to say the least.
It may be selfish, but you can’t just tell someone, “do the right thing” after they just went through hell/an abusive childhood”. As I learned in my economics class in high school: “Self interest that benefits others is what makes the world go ‘round.”
Stop expecting Ragna to save the world when the world has done nothing but treat him like ass outside of like 2 people, at that moment in time.
Although I will admit one thing, Ragna does also fall into the “do what I want and don’t ask questions” shit that Rachel and Kokonoe do sometimes, shown when dealing with Noel in CP and CF. When he grabbed her b/c he needed her to find Kushinada’s Lynchpin, Kagura thought he was attacking her and Ragna got captured. In CF, he was trying to reunite Noel with Mu, but b/c Noel was suppressing her Mu side she got all freaked out and Ragna was scolded. So he kind has his moments as well.
As for Intelligence, I actually had a HC for that. I remembered a quote from Einstein that said:
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
So that got me thinking, what kind of intelligence does Ragna fit into?
As some of us know, there are the 9 Types of intelligence. And the one I thin Ragna fits into best is Naturalist Intelligence.
My evidence:
1. He grew up with Jubei in the wild during his late adolescence and early adulthood, where this kind of Intelligence could grow
2. cooking is an ability which matches with this kind of intelligence, which happens to be Ragna’s hobby
3. Some of the characteristics of Naturalist Intelligent people:
being comfortable with animals. In Ragna’s case: cats. As I have mentioned like ten times before, the Kaka Clan is where he was the most chill in the whole series.
Having keen senses (sight, hearing, sense of touch and smell, and may even have a well developed “sixth sense”), needed for a guy so deep in combat, and said “sixth sense” was show  in CT when he sense Jubei, or even in BBTAG when he sensed Ruby’s “bloodlust”
Learns though natural contact....which I believe can also fit into “Live and Learn”, I mean one type of learning is kinisthetic learning, where you actually need to experience/do something in order to learn. Many protags seem to be like this because they, and also we the audience, need to see exactly how shit happens and works in the show/game/movie.
and 4. This mostly comes from the anime, the episode with Lambda (the one everyone agrees was one of the few good things about it), not only was he able to identify that the Tartar from Arakune got food or nutrition AND that the big blob was like his own little ecosystem (when any other dumbass protag might’ve just said he was filthy and had bugs...I mean I would’ve thought that and I don’t think I’m stupid), BUT was able to know that Aqualeaf (the plant he used to help the Tartar...which btw ties into the animal thing I mentioned) was able to grow around that area. Which MIGHT imply that he is familiar with what plants grow in what environment at what altitude.
He might not be able to understand feelings, complex math equations, or half the shit that Rachel says (seriously in almost every scene with her I learn a new word or phrase), but that doesn’t mean he’s stupid. His intelligence just lies in other areas.
I mean if the guy had some positive encouragement and some time to actually develop this type of intelligence, he surprise some people.

Why Wash, David, and Agent Washington are all acceptable names
So I’ve been waiting for this moment. For a really long time. So… prepare for a long post under the cut. (Mobile users… sorry. :( I feel your pain.)
There has been a few discussions brought up rather recently about what to call Agent Washington or, rather, what’s acceptable and what isn’t. So, I’m going to throw in my two cents because, seriously, it’s been killing me that no one has thought- or, at least, talked about- this, what I think, crucial point:
Intimacy.
Now, it might not sound like much, but, lisssteeeen, it. Is. Everything.
In the military, people are called by their rank and last name. Nothing against their first name, it’s just the way it is. Now, if you’re a civilian or a Westerner, you might think that it is used to create a gap between military and civilian life. It can be. I will expand a little more on this through this post but, for now, I ask that you civilians and/or Westerners push this idea away for a moment and open yourself up to this: It’s not. See, while a rank and last name is used for professionalism, many of us within the military, see it as something totally normal and casual. We call people by their last names the same way we call people by their first names. It’s not so much that we are trying to “create a gap” between our civilian and military lives, it’s that we are in a different culture. A culture, where calling someone by their first name can be (and is) very off-putting and, in certain cases, pretty damn rude.
Does this sound familiar? It should if any of the fandom is any kind of familiar with name practises in Eastern Asia. Over there, it is downright disrespectful to call anyone by their first name without some form long term connection. They’re also very particular about honourifics and how they are attached to last names, each of them acting as a way to show respect, politeness aaaannnnddd... wait for it… intimacy!
Now, before I really get into my point, let me just clarify that I’m not trying to debunk any already made theories or tell anyone that they’re wrong; I just want to show the other possibilities for future fanfics/fanart! Matter of fact, I quite enjoy a lot of the hypothesis I’ve been seeing- especially any denoting a different “personality” within Wash, because I totally hc him to have some sort of minor split-personality hand-in-hand with PTSD- but I also think that the comfort levels of those he talks to would most definitely dictate how others would call him. Ok, got that out of the way, now for the meat of this post. Brace yourselves.
Opinion: AGENT WASHINGTON IS TOTALLY A-OK BEING CALLED DAVID. It’s his name, who he is, what he’ll go back to. However, what he ISN’T A-OK WITH is people he doesn’t like/doesn’t trust using it!
See, the Director was Wash’s beacon of light, his salvation, his ticket to a better life, protecting people and being the “good guy” that saves the day in the end. He had a tough childhood (I’m pretty sure you have to, at this point, to be part of the Reds and Blues) and he has “anger” issues.
((Quotes are there because, frankly, I believe there’s a better way to describe his “anger” that we’ve yet to find. See, anger issues, is what Carolina and, to a lesser extent, Church have. When they’re pissed, they go off and explode immediately, to whoever and whenever about whatever. Wash doesn’t do that. He just let’s it slide and holds that grudge for eternity until the perfect time to release it shows itself and then he very specifically channels that aggression to the person or persons that sparked his ire. Yeah, he gets frustrated (and his screeches can be heard throughout the lands) but that’s not anger. And there’s a post or story or something out there that’s like “it’s still anger issues” because of how violent he responds, but having “anger issues” isn’t how violent you are, it’s how quick you are and what it takes you to become aggressive. It takes long time and a lot for Wash to do that, but I digress. Getting off topic.))
The Director was supposed to be a man Wash could respect and the Counselor the same, though to a less idol-worship respect. However, when Freelancer was exposed and after what Wash saw and experienced through Epsilon, That trust was destroyed. Demolished. Decimated. Insert as many negative D words as needed, but any intimacy that allowed for Wash to feel comfortable hearing his real name from the Director was squashed. Thus, when Wash became Recovery One, and the Counselor called him by his name, Wash reacted hostilely to it. Wash didn’t abandon his past self; they lost the privilege to use his name.
“But! But! The Triplets!” I hear you say. “Wash told them not to use his name!” Yes, Wash did ask them to not call him by his first name... because he was with top notch agents. In this case, Wash wasn’t asking them to throw away his name, he was asking them to be aware of his new professional promotion. Wash was in the presence of his, stronger, and recent teammates. It’s bad enough that he’s the rookie, but they also take their positions seriously, so if he doesn’t embrace the “agent”, then he won’t be taken seriously. This is akin to trying to maintain a good impression at your job only to get tagged in a rather embarrassing photo by your friends on facebook and struggling to get them to quickly take it down before any of your coworkers see it an alert the boss. We’ve seen how strict and competitive the “single digits” are with each other. Any and all disadvantages of another will be fully taken advantage of in an effort to come out on top. So, Wash wasn’t saying “Don’t use my name anymore” he was saying “Don’t use my name around my new team please”. Because Wash is a professional now, and professionals go by Agent State names.
Alright, so now that I’ve covered the couple of instances Wash asks for his first name to not be used, I can talk about the other name issues, because this intimacy will make more sense if there are people to compare it too.
Agents State Name/ Rank Last Name: Whenever anyone is referred to as one of those, its almost always in a professional setting, such as a debriefing or a reminder of the mission. When it’s not professional, it’s used to signal a shift in tone.
Last names/State names: Like I said, in the military, last names are used just like first names, for all sorts of purposes: Casual, Professional, affectionately, angrily, exasperatedly, etc. Half of my friends call me by my last name, and I them, and while we know each other’s first names, it just feels better to call them by their last names because, believe it or not, they are still the same person, regardless of what they’re called. If you get used to calling someone/being called by a different name, then that just becomes a part of who you are. It’s like a nickname. Yeah it’s not your real name or your full name, but you still answer to it and consider to be as much of your name as your first name is. Same goes for codenames, if you use em long enough.
Agent Washington/Wash/David vs Recovery One: All of these are used depending on trust and comfortness. I think it’s safe to assume that pre PFL Wash probably got called David a lot and was fine by it, which makes sense as pre PFL Wash was a very trusting and gullible rookie. Post PFL Wash doesn’t trust anyone and, as such, there’d be less people he’d allow for first name basis. He doesn’t hate David, there’s just no one who he trusts enough to call him it. However, Recovery One was definitely, without a doubt, a codename for Wash used for the very purpose of dehumanising him. As Recovery One, Wash wasn’t David or Wash. Rarely was he Agent Washington. No, Recovery One was just as much property as the equipment and AI he was ordered to recover and contain. Recovery One was a puppet to be used by PFL, nothing more than a mindless drone controlled by those in higher positions. Easily replaceable, and certainly not unique in anyway. We know South turned out to be Recovery Two, and I have no doubt that there were probably several more Recovery Agents out there, all with various knowledge of any others and various purposes that would affect one another.
Reds and Blues: We rarely hear their first names used by others, except for fleshing out a character:
-“My name is Michael J. Caboose and I. HATE. BABIES!!”
-Tucker’s first name being used to establish he’s black
-Kaikaina proving she and Grif are Hawaiian
-Simmons exemplifying his Dutch Irish genes
-Donut and his personality with a full (and proud) name
Etc. There’s times when Wash calls Tucker by his first name and those times are very much to make Tucker feel discomfort as he and Wash are in no way close enough to refer to each other by first names, especially in high-tension situations.
Felix vs Locus: Ok, so Felix and Locus are examples of codenames taken to become a different person, no doubt. Locus taking his to be more true to his idealistic path of the soldier and Felix because he grew to enjoy his ruthlessness as “Felix”, so they threw away their old selves.
Connie/CT: This is an example of the change of intimacy I’ve been trying to shove into your faces. Wash and CT used to be pretty close, based off of their interactions with the Triplets. However, once CT found out what the director was doing, and once she realised Wash would be of no use to her, she cut off her friendship with them. That’s what that scene was establishing. At the moment in time, it seemed like she was becoming more obsessed with the rankings, and that’s what it was supposed to feel like at the time. However, once it was revealed that she was working as a double agent, that scene was actually her cutting the bond between her and Wash. She never cared about the ranking or keeping face, hence why she was fine with other’s calling her Connie. However, when it was getting close to make-or-break time, and she realised she could trust no one, she started severing ties. See, that scene is way more powerful than what the fandom has taken it to be because CT wasn’t just warning Wash about the inevitable fall of Freelancer: She was warning him that he was no longer on her side of the line. He had to doubly look out because when the shit would finally hit the fan, he would not be able to count on her to help him.
All the Churches: Just… Just all of them. Each name change is partly throwing away the old them, partly bringing in a new personality, partly earning a right to be called “Church”, partly showing different tones, partly reclaiming, just partly everything. This… This I would agree is more accurate for not liking to be called certain names, as they brought back painful memories. And, frankly, Church wanted to be called Church because, at his core, he knew he wasn’t human, but he didn’t want to be seen as a thing. I’m surprised no one else really touches on his sensitivity to being called anything inhuman. I don’t just mean the moments played for laughs, such as when he shot the laser out of his face or when he insisted he was a ghost. No, the AIs were fascinated with human things and human concepts. They all had varying shades of obsessiveness over it. However, Church is unique because he was the closest to human as any of them were, until the torture and splits. But Church, Alpha and Epsilon, absolutely loathed and, probably, feared being dehumanised.
The Meta Vs Maine: Are two very, very different people. The former is a shell of a man run by AIs, the latter the man before the AIs that casually blasts rap music while participating in high stakes mission.
There are several other cases where different names were used to represent different levels of closeness or character/mood shifts. Only few of these were ever used to erase a part of someone’s self. I could go on and on about how much the switches between the names mean so much and are all done to establish more plot devices and that most of the names are very special to those characters and not shameful or painful to them.
Thanks for getting through all of that! Seriously, y’all are troopers! If y’all want to discuss more, please talk to me! I will talk about this topic to the death!
((Also, please excuse any weird grammar... I’ve been typing this since 1 in the morning and it’s been two hours. I don’t remember half of what I wrote. I hope it made sense))
