The wild thing about SAF is that it's a comedy spy parody musical from eight years ago, but people (including me) really have the most elaborate headcanons for these characters and are so invested in them, because they're not Good Representation for Fine Upstanding LGBTQ+ Youths, it's compelling representation for weird messy queer people.

Like I don't know if I'm expressing this well, but we're only able to have this kind of weird deep conversation about the meanings behind the gay comedy spy parody musical because these aren't sanitized characters.

One of them does absolutely nothing wrong to deserve the massively horrible thing that happens to him, gets hurt by the man he loves, gets abandoned. But he also tortures and kills people. He's canonically the villain, but he's sympathetic.

The other one is kind of an asshole- cocky, careless, jealous, petty. He fucks up big time, but he's also an ADHD himbo who is lovable in ways you can't describe. He's canonically the hero, but there's very much an "Oh, sweetie" vibe to him

And SAF succeeds at having such interesting representation because while the Big Reveal is meant to be a surprise at the end of the show, they layered it in from the opening minutes of the show.

It isn't BUT THEY'RE GAY HAHA, it's relying on our understanding of the rules of the spy genre to tell a surprisingly meaningful story. Mary Kate sings it right at the beginning- it's time to get the girl again. The reveal works because it plays against what you know, what you expect from this genre, so wonderfully.

And it also isn't Here Are Two Flawless Gays Please Do You Like Them?? It isn't PR. It isn't representation for the sake of representation. Being gay is not the only thing we know about them. And because the reveal doesn't happen until the end, it's arguably not even the most important thing we know about them.

It's just two kinda fucked up guys who might have been great together, but who lived in an era and especially worked in a profession where they had little realistic prospect of making anything work in the long term.

Who probably had a lot of shit on their shoulders from having to hide who they are their entire lives, growing up in wartime, and maybe even being neurodivergent. There's so much room to use our knowledge of the real world during this time period to flesh out these characters in a way the musical just doesn't have time to do.

And once you rewatch the show with the context of the Big Gay Reveal, it actually colors in a lot of those traits and interactions in subtle and interesting ways.

And especially knowing that this came out eight years ago, and was created by a tiny little independent theatre company, it's just... thanks, Tin Can Bros. I like your messy gays

Primarch ranking list?

I made this list ages ago, expecting for it to change a lot the more I read, but only two primarchs have changed position for me thus far.

Perturabo is now number one, and Horus (if the spoiler that I heard about the last Horus Heresy book is true) is now at the absolute bottom.

Rogal Dorn - He is the best and the emperor's favourite for a reason. He is hard working, has the best humor, he is just great. He is what I wished I was.

Roboute Guilliman  - Roboute is so painfully relatable, he can fix EVERYTHING but himself. He is such a misunderstood character by the fans in general. Give him a chance, he is delightful.

Perturabo -  Is also very relatable, but in the worst way possible. He is petty, jealous and cares too much about a world that doesn't give two shits about him. He thinks he has a good poker face but he doesn't so he comes across as even more unlikeable. He is wonderful to read about.

Horus -  I swear, he is the last relatable one. Him getting severe impostor syndrome when he was made Warmaster and then falling apart from the pressure... I felt that in my soul.

Angron -  I know very little about him to be honest, but he was such a delight in False Gods. I love him.

Konrad Curze -  I Love his Primarch book, he is so unapologetically fucked up. I love his tactics.

Fulgrim -  I feel kind of “meh” about him. I should like him more, he checks all the boxes for a character I should like but so far I like his legion more than him

Ferrus Manus - Don't know much about him, would probably be higher if I did. Mid tier.

Leman Russ - I used to HATE him but I'm warming up a bit. I like the himbo energy and that he stops playing dumb when called out.

Lorgar - Another one I used to hate but I have to respect a guy who is right so often even if he is a douche.

Jaghatai Khan - I need to read more about him.

Sanguinius - Sad, pretty vampires are cringe, angel wings are even cringeier. If he was more cool about it he would be 20% cooler, I feel Fulgrim would have rocked his looks and legion better.

Lion’el Johnson - Most of my friends are autistic (you pretty much have to be to like me), but Lion feels like the guy who talks about his special interest for hours and then tells you that he doesn't care when you talk about yours.

Alpharius - He is kind of cringe but gets bonus points since he reminds me of one of my larp characters.

Corax - what happens when you order Nighthaunter on wish.

Vulkan - to be fair, I have read very little about him. all I know is that he hugs people and lets his Astartes keep humans as pets. DO NOT WANT!

Magnus - I don't like magic or magic users. He feels like someone whose own life is a fucking mess and still gives you unbidden advice. Top-tier mansplainer.

Mortarion - Whiny fucking bitch without having the skills to back it up (Like Perturabo). Legit said that his upbringing was worse than Angrons. Also the master of double standards. Fuck em.

10 BL Boys I Want Carnally

10 BL Boys That Make Me Feel Things™

(not sexual, not romantic but a secret third thing)

okay so I wasn't exactly tagged in this but I saw several people doing this and I'll take just about any excuse to scream about my favorite characters so I'm just going to very sneakily join in on this trend 👀

there is absolutely no ranking to these bc I couldn't rank them if I wanted to

(also I changed the name a little bc my ace ass is literally physically incapable of wanting anyone carnally but I still have lots of thoughts lmao)

1) Tharn (The Sign)

I mean. is literally anyone surprised that this is where we're starting?

he's the nicest person out there. he can kick your ass if he wants to. he lost his parents at a young age and is absolutely convinced that everyone he loves is doomed to die and he keeps seeing visions of people dying and he's told again and again that those he has wronged in a past life - which he doesn't even remember - are still out to get him and yet he has so much kindness left for the world??

also he can be such a little shit and knows exactly how to tease Phaya back I love him so goddamn much.

(also that mole-)

2) Kim (Kinnporsche)

was he also on my characters I'd hit with my car list? maybe. and what about it.

I love him so much. he's such a badass but he's such a loser. famous singer who falls for a fan he was supposed to be investigating but is too emotionally constipated to admit it. badass son of a mafia family who can kick ass but only if he wants to. who does it like him honestly

(it also helps that he's played by just about the prettiest man alive)

3) Babe (Pit Babe)

did I start watching this show ironically? yes. is every mention of alphas and mpreg and that mama/papa thing hitting me like a brick and causing me 9000 psychic damage every single time? also yes. did I absolutely fall in love with the show and just about every character in it? you bet your fucking ass I did.

but I especially love Babe. he's just so babygirl. special alpha man who has to act tough and strong but just wants to be babied by his dumbass loser (affectionate) alpha boyfriend. like, he's actually so goddamn soft?? I love him.

4) Guy (Bake Me Please)

I think we all knew this was coming. I was literally gushing about him for half of the episodes. Guy my beloved. that show did not deserve you.

he spends the entire show supporting his crush's every decision and trying to make sure he's okay literally how could you not love this man

(yes he was a petty bitch for like 5 minutes there but he immediately apologized for it the next episode. properly. unlike certain other people-)

5) Sprite (Twins)

he's so himbo coded. himbo of all himbos. the himboest. not a brain cell in that head. he's my little dumbass I love him.

he deserves so much better than what he's being put through. someone please just love and support him for who he is. and also take him away from that family

(please talk to your boyfriend tho I am begging)

6) Wei Wuxian (The Untamed)

MY BELOVED. I could write essays about him. he's such a great character I love him so fucking much. if you ever had to bear witness to me talking about him.. I am so sorry.

sassy emo bitch with a flute and a tragic backstory who's seen as evil by just about everyone but only ever had the best intentions. absolute fucking dumbass. kicks ass. always smiling despite the circumstances. loves his siblings so damn much. doomed by the narrative. what more could you possibly ask for

7) Zhou Zishu (Word of Honor)

I'm trying so damn hard to keep this list to one character per show and it really took me a while to decide if I wanted to include him or Wen Kexing but ultimately it was Zhou Zishu for me

just.. god. him. assassin sect leader just trying to retire who keeps getting dragged into the biggest bullshit but doesn't really mind bc the bullshit comes with a mysterious pretty man. also that whole god damn nail thing. I have so many thoughts and feelings about that but this post would get too long if I got started on those-

(also actually pulling the "I'm literally dying" card to get out of chores is so fucking valid of him. more characters should do that)

8) Milk (Choco Milk Shake)

he is quite fucking literally a reincarnated cat, of course I love him. I could list reasons for why I love him but it would be the exact same reasons just about every cat person on earth lists for why they love cats so. but here's a quick summary, just in case:

petty. dramatic. knocks over glasses. silently loves you so fucking much.

9) Tew (My Dear Gangster Oppa)

I really did not expect to love him this much? greenest of green flags (except for the plot line we shall not talk about). can and will kill people and is fine with it (seriously it is so refreshing to see a mafia character not having a huge moral dilemma about being in the mafia). both a badass mafia man and a gamer guy who doesn't know how to talk to people and is absolutely whipped for his gamer bf.

also scars make a person just about 110x more attractive I don't make the rules. even if the scars are weird and yellow, it's the thought that counts.

10) Tian (A Tale of Thousand Stars)

I? love him??

I just love how he sets out to do something for someone he didn't even know because he feels like this person deserves that much at least and how he ends up genuinely loving and caring for those kids and the village and this inner conflict he's having the entire time but hiding oh so well and how he actually calls out his parents on their rich people bs and-

tagging everyone who reads this far and wants to do it. seriously. I mean it. if you want to do this, please go ahead and say I tagged you. I love reading everyone's thoughts.

#this list is just me going “i love him sm” ten times in a row lmao #apparently my type is just pretty man who is secretly a loser nerd #the sign the series #kinnporsche #pit babe the series #bake me please the series #twins the series #the untamed #word of honor #choco milk shake #my dear gangster oppa #a tale of thousand stars #thai bl #kbl #danmei

•°♧ Big Red Fluff Alphabet ♧°•

3/7 of the boys. So far, I've made great progress! Like I said, however, this is gonna take me both November & December since this is a big writing challenge. I am glad you simps are enjoying it while I'm still working on the others. Like always, enjoy your meal!

CW: Suggestive

A = Abundance Of Love (Are they a loud lover that loves to express their love in many ways or are they a quiet lover that loves those quiet intimate moments?)

He's a loud lover. Bless that himbo. He loves waking you up with kisses & breakfast like, who wouldn't want that?? I just KNOW that food is probably burnt, but hey, nobody is perfect, plus burnt food has this spicy flavor, or at least that's your excuse so he doesn't force himself back to the kitchen to make you a better one. Besides all of that, he enjoys the fact that he belongs to you & all of the goody goodness.

B = Brave (Were they the first to confess? If so, how did the confession go?)

He was. As you guys were sleeping in the same bed, he was lying awake at night. He didn't want to go back to Hell after all of this was over. He wanted to stay with you, but he felt hella conflicted since his whole reason why he stayed here is to get your soul. However, love had other plans for the demon prince. You were cuddling him & he finally made his decision. Him confessing would take place the next morning because I KNOW that half of the people who read my headcanons are not morning people. I can feel it in my nuggets.

Anway, he confesses over breakfast & everything goes well! However, that would mean he would have to take care of whatever the hell is going on in Hell.

C = Control (Do they take the wheel of the relationship, or do they let someone else do the driving?)

Like Alphonse, he flips flops between the two. He kinda switches between househusband to treating you RIGHT. At the same time, he's holding onto your hand anytime you guys are going grocery shopping since, uh, he's a demon & he doesn't like getting lost because he will probably panic that he can't find you since you're short as hell compared to him.

D = Dreamboat (What do they find attractive in their partner(s)?)

He loves that fact that you're so kind to him despite the fact that he kinda broke into your home via portal, probably, & ate some of your food in your kitchen then disrespected you for having common ass ingredients. You still treat him with the kindness but also not taking shit from him either.

E = Empathetic (If their partner(s) was in a not so good mood, how would they cheer them up?)

He would talk about a situation that he had that was similar. He wants you to know that you aren't alone & that he understands what you're going through, but hey, if you don't wanna talk about it, he is more than happy to be used as a warm space heater.

F = Forgiving (If they had a fight with their partner(s), how would they apologize? Or would they be petty about it?)

Despite the fact that he agrues a lot with his father, he genuinely doesn't like arguing with you. I feel like he would let you just yell at him about how you feel, but he would never yell back. If he did something wrong, he would absolutely apologize & just hold you whenever you're ready. You would also apologize for yelling at him because despite being angry, yelling at him doesn't make things right.

G = General (Random Fluff Headcanon)

I can absolutely imagine him playing Latin music while cooking. He has no idea what the fuck they're saying but it still goes hard & he dances anyway.

H = Home (How would they feel living with their partner(s)?)

He started living with you since day one. He didn't really have much of a choice since his whole reason of being here in the first place is to obtain your soul. He lives here rent-free, but at least he can cook. That makes up for something.

I = Idealistic (What's their personal preference in a special someone?)

He doesn't really have much preference besides the fact that souls should be earned & not just simply be taken.

J = Jealousy (Do they get protective of their partner(s) when someone flirts with them?)

Who the fuck would challenge a 6'5 demon prince? You did, but that's not the point. No one would just simply dare to flirt with you when you have a tall ass man with ya. He's scary as shit. However if someone did flirt with you, he's pretty intimidating. That shit is gonna be shut down REAL quick.

K = Key To The Heart (What is something that will make them fall in love instantly?)

Just being kind & caring to him is enough for him to be head over heels. That fact you care about him & treat him right is enough for his heart to start bumping.

L = Luxurious (Do they spoil their partner(s) rotten? If they do, how do they spoil them?)

He spoils you by simply being a house husband. He's got food waiting for you when you get home. The house is clean, although he kind of almost tripped over the vacuum wire. He makes sure that you don't have to do any more work for you to do when you come home.

M = Marriage (How would they feel about getting married?)

First things, first. Ya’ll really can't get married in a church since this is a full ass demon here & I doubt they can hold any weddings in Hell. The best bet is a courthouse, but that is going to look extremely weird. Lucien is kinda worried about getting married. What if you want to bring your family to the wedding? How would your family react to you being married to a demon? The questions are absolutely endless. He is not opposed to being married. In fact, he would love that. It just requires a lot of planning. You could hold a wedding in secret with people you trust or you could just say "Fuck what people think. I'm gonna marry my demon hubby." How that goes is up to you.

N = Nobility (How honest are they to their partner(s)? Do they hide anything?)

Well, his name. Knowing a demon's name is extremely powerful & be used for anything but definitely not for ill will. Besides that, he is pretty honest. He trusts you enough not to tell anyone.

O = Overwhelmed (If they were in a not so good mood, how can their partner(s) help them out?)

I believe whenever he's mad, he starts to overheat in a way that his body becomes just straight up fire. He steps outside so he doesn't burn down the home. It's hard to comfort him when this man is on fire. The best you can do for now is to give some space until he can cool down. When he does, he likes to rant about how he feels. He just wants someone to actually listen to his problems rather than just to be ignored.

P = Passionate (What is something to them that means a lot to them that only their partner(s) knows about it?)

Cooking! He has enjoyed cooking a lot ever since you helped him learn how to cook. It especially means a lot because of you. He knows to make a french omelet & it fucking slaps.

Q = Quirky (Something silly that they do.)

Whenever you guys are having a spicy kissy kiss session, he turns your plushies around so they do not witness this ahem UNHOLY SESSION. You just look at him & he just says:

"Sir Gengar shouldn't have to witness this! He's too innocent. 😡"

R = Romantic (What is their love language?)

Acts of Service! I mentioned this like throughout this whole alphabet that he is practically a house husband. I will live & die on this hill. He cooks for you, he cleans for you, & he takes CARE of you??? That is the husband right there.

S = Sublime (What is the best gift that their partner(s) can give them?)

Honestly, a cookbook signed by Gordon Ramsey himself is the best thing you can give him. He's been using Gordon's methods for a while & genuinely likes them but a cookbook SIGNED by THE Gordon Ramsey?? It's the second best thing in the world. The first best is you, of course.

T = Touching (How do they feel about PDA?)

I don't think he would mind some PDA, especially during the wintertime, if you guys head out. He doesn't mind if you want to hold hands. He's willing to show all of his love as long as you want to.

U = Undeniable (Did everyone know about their crush on their partner(s)?)

How. Genuinely, how. Who would know?? The time that people know that you guys are together is when you guys are already together.

V = Visionary (What do they want their future to look like with their partner(s)?)

To be honest, he hasn't really thought about that. He would rather focus on the present rather than the future. If anything, he would just like to live the rest of the days with you. If there is anything that comes to mind, he'll let you know.

W = Wacky (General Fluff Headcanon. Again.)

Since this fluff alphabet is late, I got two for you as a bonus.

You gave a 3DS to mess around with. All of the games that Lucien owns are all cooking games, especially Cooking Mama.

Since you're shorter than him, he just kinda picks you & kisses you. Tippy Toes ain't gonna help you there, homeslice.

X = Xaroncharoo (Yes, that's a word. Look it up. In a domestic sense, what are they exceptional at in the home?)

Cooking, duh. That's his whole thing. He wasn't really good at it first, but he's gotten really good at it!

Y = Yearning (If their partner(s) went out to get something without them/went off to work, how would they feel about it?)

As soon as you walk out that door, he already misses you. He just stays at home all day like a puppy & waits for you. There isn't he can do about since I truly doubt there's a bring your demon boyfriend to work day. At least when you come home, he has some food prepared for ya. He usually just distracts himself by doing chores because he low-key finds them fun.

Z = Zonked (How do they cuddle?)

Y'all already know. BOOBIES. Nah, I'm kidding.

I feel like he would sleep on top of you, but not like CRUSHING YOU, although that's a hell of a way to die. I salute your bravery, soldier. What I mean is his head in your lap & he just fucking zonks the fuck out.

☆ミ Author's Notes Underneath 👇 ☆ミ

🩷 - Damn. Sorry that this alphabet is late. I was taking a small break, which kinda let to just straight up lost of writing motivation. I was hoping to drop this on Thanksgiving, but you know things don't go as planned. However, that's 3. Charlie is next!

[thetarttfuldickhead]

I know that Jamie/Colin isn't the focus of this blog, but I really liked your "Locker Room Conversations" ficlet, and I was wondering if you had any headcanons/thoughts on how, in an alternate universe, a Jamie/Colin might shake out.

Well, to be honest I’ve never really thought about it too much since I don’t particularly ship Jamie/Colin, but let’s see what I can scrounge up for you, ey?

The one actual headcanon I do have:

Colin had a bit of a crush on Jamie back when Jamie first joined the team, and Jamie knew about it but never said anything. I entertain this notion at least half-seriously because I find it’s very entertaining to think about Jamie knowing and not really reflecting much on it, other than to go “uh yeah of course he has a crush on me who can blame him i mean have you seen me?”

Pre-canon angst

If you want something early and angsty and potentially canon-compliant, you could have the two of them hooking up before Jamie and Keeley get together (we have no idea when that was, but I think it was after Jamie joined Richmond purely for logistical reasons – hassle keeping a London girlfriend when you live in Manchester),. For Jamie it’s mostly about getting off and feeling a bit better about himself (both from making Colin feel good sexually and from Colin being a bit of a fanboy, giving his ego a boost) because Jamie’s not in a great place at this time. For Colin, there’s also feelings, so yes. Angst. Could end on that unhappy note, or you could go full AU and have Jamie slowly realizing that actually, he cares for Colin. (SHOCKER!) Obviously you’d need a turning point of Colin taking a stand and breaking things off with Jamie because he doesn’t want to be used like this anymore. He is a strong and capable man who deserves better! Cue Jamie having to prove his genuine affection and woe Colin back. Very classic rom-com vibe, and thus not my style at all, but I’m trying to give offer you a variety of flavour here.

Season 2 Enemies to lovers

In an another world, I think there’s a lot of potential for something set early during season 2, when Jamie first returns to Richmond. As mentioned in my recent post, I’m very intrigued by Colin’s reaction to this and how they go from him being very angry with Jamie to loving him so much, man. Besides, enemies to lovers is my one true ship trope, so I might even read this if I ever came across it.

Vanilla version: Colin is working hard to convince himself that he’s a strong and capable man, and he doesn’t need Jamie Tartt reminding him – simply by being around – of the person he used to be only a year before. Jamie is hellbent on repairing their friendship, though, and while initially Colin finds some measure of petty satisfaction at seeing Jamie’s bumbling attempts at making amends, he’s little by little and in spite of himself won over. I can see Jamie persistently taking him out on friend dates and Colin first agreeing only because he kind of enjoys torturing Jamie a little by being an ass, but Jamie is undettered and then they start having a really good time together and in therapy Colin comes to realize that part of his anger with Jamie is really anger with his own past behaviour – and maybe some shame over having had a crush on someone who was such an asshole. Over time, soft and mushy feelings develop. There are lots of hand-holding and cuddling and watching reality shows and bitching about the contestants together. They go on really stupid fucking adventures and love clubbing and once they come out to the team they are really kind of insufferable because their joint himbo energy is a threat to all of mankind, but they are so fucking adorable it’s hard to be mad (except for when they bring their bitchiest selves and team up to bring it down on everyone else, epic sassy style).

Dark/angsty/kinky version: Jamie is doing his best to make things right with the team, but Colin’s still not having it and in the end Jamie (remembering the crush Colin once had on him) offers sex as a way to make amends/prove how sincere he is. Colin can’t resist taking him up on the offer because even if he’s long over his crush the idea of Jamie kneeling in front of him, of Colin’s fist twisting in Jamie’s hair as he fucks his mouth, of Colin using Jamie however he sees fit and Jamie letting him… That does things for Colin, particularly when he’s in this vengeful state, yeah? Can end on a dark note, if that’s your jam, or end with some sweet comfort, aftercare and reconciliation.

Cracky post-canon poly shenanigans

Keeley is dating both Roy and Jamie, and while Jamie and Roy are not dating each other there’s this tension between them and yeah, maybe they wanna give this whole also sleeping with each other thing a go, except neither of them has ever done anything with another man before and so they’re a bit unsure about how to proceed and things keep Not Happening. (In this universe, Keeleys staunchly refuses to guide them, no matter how hot she’d find it, because she’s very much and rightly on the let Roy and Jamie sort Roy and Jamie out track.)

Jamie, glorious solution oriented himbo that he is, goes to Colin for some pointers on how to be gay, mate and after Colin stops staring inredulously at him he shrugs and gives him some general hints, the more gay love the better right, only Jamie soon comes back for a more hands-on tuition session because no, i tried, mate, but i just couldn’t figure it out, could you maybe show me instead? and Colin is a good friend (who once had a crush on Jamie), so yeah, that happens.

Keeps happening too, because everything Colin is teaching Jamie is working great and Roy and Jamie are very much getting it on and having a grand old time – but to no reader’s great surprise, there’s also some feelings starting to grow between Sassy Himbo No. 1 and Sassy Himbo No. 2. and in the end Jamie is not only dating Keeley and Roy but Colin too!

Colin only dates Jamie, though – the very idea of being involved with Keeley, a woman, or Roy, a Roy, is slightly nauseating and somewhat scary to him. There are no joint dates, no dinners for all four of them. Isaac is a little perplexed and initially concerned over the whole set-up but he sees how happy it makes his best friend so he rolls with it, even if he does end up having a talk with Roy about how he needs to make an effort to not look angry when Jamie and Colin go off together after training. I’m not angry, that’s just my face, Roy protests. Yeah, Isaac agrees, I know, bruv, but it’s freaking Colin out a little so maybe make an effort to not look like yourself, yeah? So the next time, Roy tries for a smile and Colin has trouble sleeping that night.

(For an extra helping of crack if Jamie/everyone is your thing: When the rest of the team learns of this, a few of the lads complain that it’s not fair that Keeley and Roy and Colin all get to have Jamie as their boyfriend when they don’t, but Jamie quickly assures them that he can be their boyfriend too! [Right… ? with sideway glances at Roy and Colin who just nod.] There’s plenty of Jamie to go around! Except he’s kind of busy with the partners he’s already got so maybe they need a scheduele and it’ll mostly be odd dates, but yeah, everyone who wants to can sign up for the Jamie Tartt Boyfriend Experience and in the end one fourth of the team is dating Jamie in some shape or form.)

That’s what I got for now. I hope at least one of them tickled your fancy, even if I strayed into OT3+ territory there for a bit...

#still don't particularly ship it #but i’d probably read the last one and maybe the season 2 enemies to lovers ones if I came across them #and i DID have a lot of fun dreaming these up ngl #so thank you very much for the ask! <3 #jamie tartt #colin hughes #jamie/colin #roy/keeley/jamie #asks

[cloudsofteeth]

You have any spare obey me headcanons? Or whb? 👀 (also, picturing Ivory being carried by Beel, who's slowly being climbed on by his brothers to join Ivory and now he's on his workout routine with how many he's carrying but doesn't complain. Man's a family man who's happy. Food is good too)

Omg you best believe imma be drawing Beel bench pressing Ivory and throwing his weight around to help her out of situations

Diavolo- he’s the Biggest. In height, heart, tiddy size, ambition, di-

he’s the ultimate Himbo put passively gets petty and throws micro tantrums when he doesn’t get his bi-weekly play dates with ivory. Honestly wishes she could live at the castle instead of the house of lamentation but that isn’t allowed :(

Would honestly grab a demon that hurts his favorite people and just rip them apart as if they were a chicken sandwich.

Barbatos- he’s a bit Miffed ivory doesn’t like tea. She does engage with his interests though and learned how to properly brew it but she thinks it’s yucky. They both love cooking though like omg.. he’s the reason why ivory puffed up a little and struggles to lose the weight. His desserts are very very good and he’s the one who helped her adjust to the scary foods of the devildom. His calm cool mysterious vibes make Ivory kinda follow him around the way Luke does.. he’s her favorite demon to watch, and yet he’s the one with the most secrets out of them all, it feels like he’s Unreachable.

Lucifer- Ivory gives him cuteness aggression.. like he just pats her head and then presses down on her skull, causing her spine to scrunch and her neck to pop. Likes it almost too much when she sits in his lap and he can squeeze and hug her like a stress ball. She enjoys being smushed but sometimes it’s a bit much :(

He acts so stoic and untouchable, and he truly tries to be, but what scares him more is that she sees right through him with those dumb innocent eyes. His image…! It doesn’t matter for her and there is a deep guilty pleasure in not having to put up a front but if anyone were to find out it would be catastrophic.

Ivory has 3 permanent scars from him.

Mammon- was incredibly rough around the edges and nearly forgot who he was before falling from grace. Being called a scumbag stings or can be brushed off like it’s nothing, he’s so used to it by now. It’s a nothing compared to when Ivory is deeply hurt by his actions and she’s on the verge of tears or is genuinely heartbroken. She doesn’t hide her feelings and he feels like the biggest piece of garbage alive.

Of course he still has his vices and addictions and whatnot but life is a little bit better now that he has a spark of joy. A safety blanket. He tries more than he used to, to not be so much of a piece of shit.

They got shared clothes and he always likes taking her outside to be exposed to fun things. He explodes at the smallest indication of affection.

Levi- His lack of self esteem is heartbreaking and depressing. Despite his behavior and being a shut in, I’m like 80% sure he goes swimming in some kind of private pool if they ever have one. it’s the only way he stays so fit. He dresses Ivory up in cosplay and uses her as a comfort buddy when he tries going out of his comfort zone. His fishtank is absolutely decked the fuck out with live plants, shrimp, and perfectly bioactive he’s a fish tank expert. No simple glass bowls here that’s lame and stupid!

Ivory has 1 scar from when he snapped at her in the beginning of her stay at the Devildom.

Satan- Stoic like Lucifer but if you filled him with firecrackers and landmines. He has a crying kink. Would probably take psychic damage if he saw ivory as a cat girl.

Curses? Spells? Yes. All the worst ones except he fucks up on accident sometimes. He knew Solomon could make mistakes but his are more likely to happen and when they do, the whole house is in chaos. Like turning everyone into kitties, or having everything is flipped upside down.

He likes to lay down with his head in her lap when he’s mad, and she runs her fingertips through his scalp, massaging and soothing him. It’s really nice for him.. she doesn’t ever seem afraid of him when he’s mad and she tries reaching out despite him at risk of directing his rage at her.

she has 2 scars from him

Asmodeus- he’s probably the only one who’s able to see and tell when Ivory’s at her limit, mentally. Despite his raging narcissism, he loves her second. Dresses her up in the prettiest clothes and paints her nails, figures out her skin care and helps her get devildom equivalents of her human medication. (They take Ibuprofen together). He is.. absolutely Horny and when he gets in a mood he’s a menace. He smiles and looks happy the entire time he does it though and whispers so many compliments. He’s a very caring lover and partner.

Don’t ask what he does with her hair when she gets a trim.

Beel- he shares his food even if it’s just a bite ;;

Enjoys playing sports or other physical activities. Is jacked despite eating a mountain once a week. All those calories burn into his muscles and I imagine he literally steams when he exorcises and is Very very warm in temperature. He’s a light sleeper and likes meat more than other flavors. Beware all you can eat buffets he takes it to heart and is blacklisted from every establishment. He’s the reason ivory cried her first day on dinner duty..

he’s shy when it comes to wanting affection, feeling a hunger in his heart, unsure of why he’s feeling this way. Butterflies in his tummy when he hasn’t eaten any butterflies? It makes him nervous.. Ivory likes to snack with him and learn about devildom snacks. He gets distracted looking at her mouth when she eats because it’s cute to him..

Belphegor- an absolute fucking Yandere in secret he probably stole her shirt to use as a pillowcase. Most likely to kill without hesitation (as he did to her when he was let out of the attic. Twice.) he’s trying to make up for what he did and how he hurt her, and finding out she’s Lilith’s descendant made him feel more self loathing. If he could take it all back, he would. It’s also why he’s trying to claw his way to be her most dependable demon, finding his freedom and regret for not saving Lilith in her.

Always, without fail, if Ivory and Belphie take a nap in the same room he always ends up face first in her titties. He has no idea how it happens. He swears he was hugging his cow pillow facing away from her on the other side of the bed.

Ivory has two massive scars from him.

And lastly Ivory headcannons because she doesn’t really get to show her inner thought process-

She hates being called Lilith, it makes her feel like she has even More responsibilities and expectations of her. She’s a crybaby and sheds tears rather easy. Tries to be eloquent and gentle but ends up cursing and spewing profanities when she’s very comfortable with them. Mentally fragile and tries to be a good girl, she doesn’t like it when people are mad at her. but BOY DOES SHE HATE HAVING TO DO SCHOOL ALL OVER AGAIN. She already got her Bachelors degree! And now she’s back (yeah she signed up for it but she never thought she’d get picked)

She loves them so much and is very happy with her 11 boyfriends and adopted son. She made a horrified expression when she found out Luke was like over 300 years old. Does she think about how weird it is to have 11 boyfriends and an adopted son? Yeah but they’re not human and Solomon’s immortal so she just shrugs and tries to survive and split her time up wisely.

[sergeifyodorov]

calle, mikko and eichel for the send me a character ask thing >:)

hehehe taylorrrr <33

i confess im terrible at remembering my first impressions so thats gonna be the least filled out part but lets get INTO it

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Cale: “Everyone has been talking about this man’s rosy cheeks and -- wow, he really does have rosy cheeks”

Mikko: [vague absorption of names you hear when you’re watching a game but you don’t know what’s going on][oh yeah that mikko rantanen guy is an av]

Eichel: “The guy who’s kind of bitchy”/ lbr it was mceichel slashfic

IMPRESSION NOW

Cale: Sweet little rosy-cheeked milkmaid of a babygirl. That hair looks like a baby bird. Dude is a nerd, and probably going to be the Avs’ next captain. That Conn Smythe run was memorable as hell, and I’ll always remember him as a playoff performer, even though the Avs are literally all hurt. Except Mikko.

Mikko: HART 2023 WINNER IN MY MIND. For some reason to me (ngl, my opinion on the Avs is “favourable but I don’t think about them”) he is the only Av who played the whole season -- he carried the entire fucking team through that early-season hell where everyone was really really hurt, as opposed to only mostly hurt like they were in the back half (plus Natemac was back). All this has cemented to me that he is an underappreciated big beautiful blonde moose of a man. Great tits as well if i have to be honest.

Eichel: My bitch wife. Mad respect for being apparently the only hockey out there who knows how to take care of his body (i see u going right down the tunnel when somethings wrong instead of trying to tough it out on the bench. Yesssssss). Robbed of the Smythe. People keep trying to say that he’s not better than McDavid -- this is obvious, but that’s not the point! Also I think it’s funny that that attitude (read: self-respect) has caused people (sabres fans) to note him as a locker-room cancer. It turned out that it made him a playoff performer instead. Not that I want VGK to win more Cups (for purely petty reasons, namely that my leafies should win out), but I do look forward to seeing him tear up the playoffs from here to kingdom come. Also, he’s not objectively handsome but i want him carnally.

FAVOURITE MOMENT

Cale: Just watching him skate/man the power-play. His edges are gorgeous, he’s really in the top tier of pure skaters out there. Also the Stroopwaffel Incident

Mikko: Hm. Probably that one media where they had Avs do the heart hand thing and he didn’t understand it? Himbo supreme. Just so large, and so beefy, and so stupid

Eichel: Do I really have to say it?

IDEA FOR STORY

Cale: He is the barmaid that the cowboy (natemac?) sees when he enters the mysterious Old West town’s saloon for the first time. He’s got this sort of quiet demeanour that everyone knows not to mess with, because he’s smart as a whip and he’ll get you if you don’t know what’s good for you. Maybe it turns out he’s also the rival gunslinger and we can have this Dark Cale against nate. (and then they kiss)

Mikko: Equal parts romcom boyfriend and werewolfcore. Werewolf boyfriend. I’m sure there are no paranormal romances with a plot that can be established in this manner

Eichel: I’m still on the mceichel train I prommy but I admit the eichel section in scheherazade was really quite fun… I’d like to stay a little bit in that universe, only not plunking auston in just having him already be there. The eichelston teammates to ex-teammates to teammates again to lovers. They could be gossipy haters together. They could kiss under the moonlight. 

UNPOPULAR OPINION

Cale: I think this new failgirl era (questionable concussion treatment) is a dangerous trajectory for him. We’ve already seen many, many NHLers with promising careers interrupted or cut short by concussion mismanagement, and Cale is one of the best and brightest of the younger generation. I’d hate to see him go down the path of someone like Kariya.

Mikko: HART 2023 WINNER IN MY MIND!!!

Eichel: I’m not sure if eichelthirsting is unpopular or not (or if any of my opinions are unpopular really), but that is what i’m going to say. I saw pictures of him post-Cup with his shorts rolled up all the way and that leg exposed to get the Cup tattoo, and. Awooga. 

FAV RELATIONSHIP

Cale: Cale x a good nights sleep, cale x stroopwaffel. I think natecale is probably a pleasing one, just because they’re both Canadian Weirdguys, but i’m going to be honest I haven’t read many Cale fics. (Yes, to anyone who might b reading, this IS an opportunity to drop your fic recs in here. Id love em)

Mikko: Arsirane, I don’t have time for messing around

Eichel: McEichel, just because of that juicy juicy Narrative. They don’t have any personal beef with each other, but if you lock them in a room I bet they’d complain to one another so much about the media that they’d start spontaneously kissing. 

FAV HEADCANON

Cale: ex-emo kid. We’ve all seen that one photo of him with the bad black hair dye job, whether it’s real or not. I would just like to state that I also believe he can bust out I Write Sins Not Tragedies on the karaoke machine if he is JUST this side of drunk and horny enough.

Mikko: Reportedly funny, but probably the kind of funny where about half the time he doesn’t realize that what he’s said is hilarious, but everyone else laughs at it anyway (he doesn’t mind this. It’s a point of pride)

Eichel: im gonna vote him Most Likely To Kiss His Teammates Platonically On The Mouth 2k23

#asks #cale makar #mikko rantanen #jack eichel #taylor <3

Delinquent!Gudako Character Info

(Because I realized I haven’t really elaborated enough about her. Also I use Ritsuka and Gudako interchangeably but you get the gist it’s the same person)

She’s half Japanese/half Welsh. The Welsh part comes from her Father’s side of the family. Ritsuka never bothered learning Welsh before coming to Chaldea because the bad association with her absent deadbeat dad. But after some convincing, she picked up some of the language from the Knight of the Round Table (Mostly from Bedivere)

As for her mother, Ritsuka doesn’t remember much about her before she died. 1) because she was so young at the time. 2) because she almost doesn’t want to remember the only other person from family that loved her knowing she’s already gone.

Boxing is her preferred form of fighting, but the training she got from Scathach, Beowulf, and Leonidas made her more adept at Mixed Martial Arts.

Will NEVER admit that she has a massive inferiority complex about her magic circuits being kinda crappy compared to everyone else. It’s another big reason she trains as much as she does. Overcompensating for something beyond her control.

I think I mentioned before but, a massive reason why she’s so dense is because of her low self-worth. Aside from her Grandpa, there wasn’t anyone else that was willingly to give her the time of day either because they feared her or hated her. She didn’t have other people she could call friends and most people would avoid her. So the concept of anyone might be attracted to her is baffling.

That entire event in Shimousa involving Shuten really fucked with her head for a good two weeks. Waking up in the middle night, phantom pains on her abs, feeling like she’s about to vomit blood when she wasn’t. No one else aside from Musashi, Kotaru, and Dantes knew what had happened because she begged them not to speak of it. Eventually Nightingale and everyone found out about it after they pressed her for questions.

Ritsuka is still human in this AU. It’s just there are certain oddities about her that would make people second guess it. She can see in the dark without her eyes having to adjust, she’s alot more durable than most humans even before the training, and her inhuman appetite. Little things like that make you think something about her is…off

When I mean inhuman appetite, Ritsuka can eat about 2/3 of Barghest’s Valentines Day gift. ON. HER. OWN. Baffling to both Chaldea Kitchen Staff and Saberfaces alike.

A big part of why this version of Gudako is compatiable with so many servants isn’t just because she’s an average human. She’s an average human who had to learn how to empathize fast ever since Singularity F. She didn’t care about other people that wasn’t her Grandfather until she met Mash. So learning she was capable of even that small bit of empathy was new to her and something she had to work on.

Ritsuka use to hate maguses. Especially towards those that work at the Clock Tower. It’s only after she got to meet people like Olga, Romani, and Waver that had her think maybe all maguses aren’t completely awful people.

She learned Mandarin and Cantonese just she so could cuss out Yu Mei-Ren in her language. Same thing with Jalter and learning French because Ritsuka is that petty

Ritsuka actively tries to not cuss in front of child servants since she thinks it would set a bad example for them.

You can’t debate her with about G Gundam NOT being the best series because she will give you a 10 page paper on why you’re wrong.

She’s actually self-conscious about the scar on face. Not because of how it looks (although it doesn’t help), but because it’s a reminder of how powerless she was when it happened.

Thick Thigh Enthusiast until the day she dies

She is very much a Shembo (She-Himbo)

Closeted Love Live! School Idol Project fan. Liz and Osakabehime are the only other people that know about this.

If this Ritsuka was ever a servant, she would be either a Rider or a Berserker.

Gudako has a habit of repressing all of her trauma, anger, and anxieties because her everyone still needs her and dealing with it is a hassle. This will have consequences later…

Despite being a delinquent, Gudako still has a code of conduct thanks to Grandpa Fujimaru. Mostly her being against fighting the kids and the elderly even if they are servants.

Anyway that’s all I can think of right now.

#there’s probably more #this is all i could think of #fate grand order #fgo #ritsuka fujimaru #delinquent gudako au #gudako #female ritsuka fujimaru

[objectivelyimpermanent]

Episode 13

A very mature and thorough episode, I think. They managed to achieve a balance of the three main couples that feels pretty fair and satisfying.

Kinnporsche is in its final stages, just before the relationship incarnation. The finale should be epic.

Porsche was understandably off this entire episode. He was reserved with Kinn because they both had thought that they'd resolved this whole issue about Porsche's parents and Korn, but Scummy Uncle had to show up and immediately fuck everything. I think that Porsche felt a little guilty because he didn't want to bring it up again now that they'd moved back in to the main house and Kinn was no longer at odds with his father on Porsche's behalf. Also, Korn is dangerous, and Porschay is living in the house with them. I don't think that Porsche thinks that Kinn won't be on his side; he's worried that he will be, and that it will inflame Kinn's already difficult paternal relationship, and all that even before Porsche knows fully what's going on.

I know that some people were worried when Porsche did things like pull his hand away when Kinn was trying to hold it in episode 8 or when he was so reserved whilst showing off his relationship with Kinn in episode 12, but I think that this episode has shown that it's entirely a discomfort with PDA and not any internalised homophobia or insecurity with the relationship. Even when they were alone in front of his parents' graves, he only did an indirect cheek kiss with his fingers rather than directly returning it. That's all fine: I like how they managed to completely erase the internalised homophobia from the novel whilst replacing it with sensical character reactions that explain the same behaviour.

I liked the dinner scene with Korn—petty Porsche is great. I've missed him since Tawan in episode 9. Spite looks good on him.

Kinn was being sappy and horny, as we've learnt Kinn is when he's in love. It's as good a look on him as spite is on Porsche. He clearly knows that something's wrong this episode, but Kinn and Porsche are still having difficulty expressing their feelings verbally. I expect that this will continue until the 'I am your side' scene in the finale, which will presumably activate Kinn's horny home invasion groping. Sometimes I think that Kinn's heart is like a voodoo doll of his dick: you get him in the heart, and the dick twitches. It would explain a lot. His love kink is even bigger than his exhibition kink.

I don't think that Kinn felt betrayed by Porsche running off with Vegas. Despite them not talking to each other, I think that they're now familiar enough with each other's behaviours not to take their partner's foibles personally—it's just like after Tawan, when Kinn locked up Porsche and Porsche ran off with Vegas, but they didn't really get recriminatory with each other about it after they reunited. Porsche even left a note this time that said that he was going to come back. Their relationship is pretty secure, so I'm not worried about a surprise tragic ending next episode. Kinn followed him because he was afraid that Porsche was going to himbo something up or maybe get himself in trouble by pissing off someone that he shouldn't have, which are two of Porsche's main character beats over the series. Kinnporsche continues to manifest a mature, young adult relationship.

Also, that ending scene. Porsche is very competent when he wants to be—he managed to sneak past all of the mansion's security whilst they were looking for him, with a gun, and then put it to the patriarch's head. He just doesn't often want to be.

Vegaspete is a spectacular fuckery. The relationship is very unhealthy but very piteous. I'm rooting for it, but Pete needs to be given and to be secure in a lot more relative power.

Firstly, Vegas got hit in the face five times this episode, and it was really funny.

Pete is noticeably distressed from even the first scene. It's a little jarring coming in from the post-sex shots in episode 12 where he's smiling semi-euphorically. In hindsight, the complicated look that Vegas had in those shots seems to be pure attachment—I think that the moment when he stopped smiling is when it hit him that he cared, and he was a little spacey and numb about it. Similarly, I think that Pete was running on endorphins. He initiated sex pretty impulsively, and his expression as Vegas nears in and nearly kisses him in the pre-sex part of the scene is something I can only describe as cockstruck in the feels. He's had some time to process (what I will argue is actually at least a day or two, as I don't think episode 13 opens immediately after the sex), and he's feeling more conflicted without the hormones. Vegas has taken the bandages off, but he's also put a cuff back on, which I imagine made Pete feel pretty shitty. He lost his chance to escape, and Vegas is trying to seduce him hard with homemaking skills whilst still keeping him chained to the ceiling.

Nonetheless, his anguish is riveting, and that scene with the escape is one of my favourite for the whole series. Vegas is increasingly under pressure as he realises that nothing he does can please his father and that he has no control over his own life; Pete is taking the entirety of the emotional burden as well as serving as physical stress relief, like Vegas is for his father, until he implodes with the pressure of being both comfort object and punching bag. The first half of the escape scene is very uncomfortable: this time, rather than Pete relieving or comforting Vegas, both are distressed, and the extent of this in Pete startles Vegas from the routine, and he pretty immediately backs off and starts apologising. Unfortunately, Vegas is still our volatile little miaowfioso, and he doesn't know how to react when his comfort object starts requiring comfort.

They're actually giving me a bit of Spuffy energy, although they switch between who's Spike and who's Buffy.

That Pete escaped rather than Vegas letting him go is good for Pete's agency and emotional health, but it's bad for the Vegaspete relationship. Pete's shown himself to be self-effacing with a tendency to suicidal thinking, and his stress response, like Vegas, is to devalue himself and to self-harm (like Vegas, he slaps himself in the scene before the escape); his escape here is an expression of his valuing of himself over Vegas, which he has yet to do during their interactions, usually giving in and comforting Vegas instead. However, Vegas didn't let Pete go, and so showed that he wasn't willing to prioritise Pete over himself as Pete was doing for him—the relationship is then one-sided and selfish, and, with Vegas so volatile, very dangerous for Pete. This dynamic does leave us with an interesting relationship trajectory that compensates for how quickly and easily the first half of their engagement seemed to happen (albeit a little only because of the dearth of scenes). It also brings their relationship out of the bubble and into the real world in a way that parallels episode 8–11 for Kinnporsche.

In fact, a lot of parallels are happening between these four:

Porsche and Pete or Kinn and Vegas

In this episode, Pete expresses a carpe diem philosophy, which is the same as Porsche's as expressed in episode 3. Pete and Porsche are similar in a few ways, which is probably why they're so good at being friends: they have work and leisure faces; they're good at understanding each other; they like to have the same sorts of simple fun; they're amiable, make friends easily, and are a little silly sometimes; they shrug off of a lot of things easily (used to operating under the strictures of the powerful); and they're both duty-bound. Their hand-to-hand combat scene in episode 10 is without angst because they're not actually opposed to each other in that scene, and Pete and Porsche have never actually been in proper conflict. They get along well and they're protective of each other, and this might get them, as well as Kinn and Vegas, through the confrontation of the major and minor families in the finale.

The scene in the bathroom this episode directly parallels their bathroom scene in episode 5. This time, it's Pete that's conflicted about a dubiously-consensual and possibly-regrettable sexual encounter, and I think that Porsche recognises the signs: Pete's pleading to pretend that everything is fine and Pete's body language are so similar to Porsche's after the drugged-up sex, and this is all besides the pretty incriminating lash marks and bruised wrists; you can see on his face that he's recognising trauma and a sense of violation, if not precisely that Pete's distressed over a sexual encounter. This show continues to be really well done in its portrayal of the trauma of sexual assault and dubiously consensual sex.

The platonic wound-tending is a nice trope subversion, and it extends the series' general tendency to allow genuine emotional vulnerability to the male characters (a contrast to most other BLs where emotional vulnerability is a feminising behaviour pervading the bottom's character and/or something only to be permitted in breakup scenes or when the characters are in danger of death). It's a little ironic that the machismo is lesser in the mafia show than in university dramas.

Both of these bathroom scenes were followed by Tankhun taking them down to Yok's , and both times Vegas showed up afterwards—you can compare and contrast his genuine and ingenuine seduction tactics. With Pete, he shows up empty handed and unprepared, and he even resorts to reusing a basic tactic, appearing from the aether, lighter in hand. Unlike Porsche in both his version of Vegas' Yok-crashing and of Vegas' lighter-offering scene, Pete responds hostilely and pulls a gun.

Although, Vegas showing up can also be phrased as a contrast, since Kinn (as the love interest and perpetrator) didn't show up for Porsche, but Vegas (as the love interest and perpetrator) did show up for Pete. Vegas is here a lot more dependent on Pete than Kinn was willing to allow himself to be on Porsche; he's also admitted this to himself and he's a mess over it, in a way that Kinn remained in denial over for a while longer. Pete's hostile reaction and then surrender is something like Porsche's challenge to Kinn after he returned home to find Kinn asleep on the sofa, his flight home, and then his fond and easy forgiveness of Kinn once he genuinely apologised.

Pete appears to be more emotionally aware than Porsche—which is a bit ironic since Pete is the one better able to disguise his emotions. Porsche responds by suppressing and marinating in his emotions and both wallowing and trying not to think about them, all of which is very obvious to everyone around him; whilst Pete seems to know what he's feeling and that it's bad, and he doesn't deny it at all, but he's better at fronting an appearance of being fine to others. Miserable distress impedes Pete's function less than Porsche.

Vegas and Kinn are both trying for their domestic era. I wonder if they also got malewifing lessons alongside their hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship lessons? Did Daddy Chan give them? Maybe it was an elective option that replaced wilderness survival?

[I would love for Daddy Chan to have hosted a cooking class and a providing-emotional-comfort class for all the Theerapanyakul heirs: Tankhun was best at emotional comfort, but he didn't test so well because he spaced out a lot and was always reading fashion magazines, and he only got an okay grade in cooking because he kept adding too many sprinkles and making his bodyguards help him; Kinn got a passing grade in cooking and the best grades in emotional comfort, although he still got graded down a little for his horny pickup lines; Kim almost failed in emotional comfort, but he pulled up to a D because of how smooth and charismatic he was in pickup-line delivery; Vegas came second-best in emotional comfort because of his technical perfection but apparent complete lack of authenticity, but he came first in cooking (he was so pleased about beating Kinn, but his father still backhanded him because it was in cooking instead of money-laundering or something); Macau slept through both classes, failed them, and had to retake them, but he slept through and failed them again, at which point Daddy Chan gave up. Anyway, I digress.]

Porsche thought that Pete was a ghost for a second. I really like how he poked him. At least he seems to have learned that ghosts are intangible since that time he kicked Pol during horror movie night.

Kinn and Pete or Vegas and Porsche

The scene where Kinn and Pete come across Porsche and Vegas with Porsche's scummy Uncle's corpse parallels Kinn and Pete being the ones to run into Porsche escaping with Vegas. They're the ones with the brain cells running after the idiots. Here, they seem to have teamed up to attempt to rein in their awol lovers.

Kinn and Pete are sort of inversions in relationships also: Kinn keeps his cock in his heart, and Pete keeps his heart in his cock.

And then we have Vegas and Porsche as the awol idiots. Vegas is trying to be good, which to him means that he's trying to do the opposite of whatever he'd normally do. The issue is that Vegas is normally smart-evil, and the opposite of that is dumb-good, so he's now just sort of loafing around and trying to figure out how to emote without committing battery or homicide. I understand that it's difficult for him.

Porsche has definitely learned from his past actions, and his actions don't not make sense: he's leaving Kinn out of it in an attempt to avoid friction with the scary mafia boss who has demonstrably and repeatedly lied to them, but who is also Kinn's father. It's still a little stupid and definitely complicating things in a way that it doesn't have to and in a way that will almost certainly fuck up a few plot points, even if it won't fuck up his relationship.

I kind of actually want to see Porsche and Vegas on some type of frenemy-bromance revenge murder roadtrip on a motorbike with Pete and Kinn tracking and following along behind them and bribing off all the police officers and baffled/terrified witnesses that they attract. That would be very funny.

Kimchay is progressing sweetly, smoothly, and on-track for a BL. It's playing it straight, but it still comes off as more genuine than a lot of the university romantic dramas. I'm still not quite sure how they managed that.

Chay is emotionally withdrawing. He at least seems to have stopped self-destructing, but he's done some sensible things like staying awake from the drugs, blocking his dickhead ex, and taking down the shrine.

Kim is very taciturn, as usual, but the reveal of the polaroid stash helps to flesh out the Kimchay relationship a little and properly shows that the relationship wasn't parasocial or unrequited on Kim's part. I also like how the polaroid stash mirrors the Wik shrine. Kim smiling like he'd been stabbed in the heart whilst looking at the photos and flashbacking was the most emotionally vulnerable we've yet seen him, and I think it's the peak of his realisation that he's fucked up. I was a little worried because of how the relationship started, because of how Kim avoided returning Chay's 'I love you,' and because they showed us so little of the relationship development, but that all seems to be because Kim prefers to sing rather than to talk, and he's aware of how strange it would be for him to do that out of the blue, so he just keeps his mouth shut.

I posit that it's not Chay, but Kim that is the Disney princess—his ideal world would be one where he can sing out his feelings at will. Chay is one of the little bluebirds that accompanies his singing and comes along to help him dress, but who then turns out to be a charming youngest son under a curse.

I do want to know why Kim got recalled in by Korn just as he was about to jet off. It's a similar framing as to how Kinn was pulled away to a meeting with Korn just as Porsche was about to tell him about scummy Uncle and the reveal of the lie, and then Korn ended up being creepily lenient and ominously offering a holiday. I wonder if it's a similar thing? Korn talking to the respective lovers of both of the kids he's fucked over. We didn't see him calling in Tankhun.

Speaking of people knowing—do any people actually know about Kimchay's relationship? I don't think they do (although, again, I wouldn't put it past Korn to know and be keeping quiet).

Tankhun is the voice of reason here, for which he has become known. To be fair, it's not clear that Porsche knew that Pete was infiltrating the minor family's house, Kinn did check with Pete's grandmother, and there has been a lot going on lately with all the dark revelations about dead parents. The funeral scene was great, with the effigies: I like that there was a Yok one—she and Tankhun seem to have really bonded, and I do like that for them. It's hilarious that he burnt a paper ATM as a paper offering, and it's very Tankhun.

His singing is also pretty good. This seems to be a musical family. Someone should write an AU where they're some sort of legacy musical star family; that would be funny. And then Chay marries in as talented new blood, and the odd one out is Porsche, who would be completely tone deaf, but Kinn would always be telling him that it was good and letting him sing karaoke to everyone else's dismay.

Kan and Korn continue to be terrible fathers. Kan is legitimately disgusting. I think that the part of the scene where he deliberately rotates his family head ring on his finger so that he can catch Vegas in the face with it when he hits him is the clearest and fullest expression of his personality. It's also symbolically important—Vegas being injured with the symbol of his father's power, which is also the symbol of their family. Korn is shady and untrustworthy as usual, but I think that there are hints that he's preparing to die? The talk about his health is returning, he's smoking like he no longer cares about his health, he's trying to tie up loose ends with Porsche, and the offer of a holiday to Kinnporsche may have been an attempt to get them out of the way as he sorts out some premortem regrets. I don't actually care if he's dying. Well, I do a little in that nature gets to kill him. Honestly, all I want is some patricide.

emily fields!

Emily Fields

okay the numbering on this looks very weird because I kept having to use extra spaces to get around the words per block of text limit and I’m kind of out of patience to fix it to look better lol so apologies but here is what I wrote for the meme

three facts about them from my personal headcanons: 1. This is going off the canon detail that she really likes horror films but I like to think she developed that interest kind of alongside the A stuff happening (since I think it’s established in the middle seasons). And that she views them kind of in a Dru Blackthorn esque fashion where they’re less scary than her normal life and that makes them comforting in a way.. I don’t have an hc for what her favorite horror movie is because as we know I suck at watching films so I don’t feel like I have enough to go off even though when I do get myself to watch movies I do like horror … I do think she would watch yellowjackets and her favs would be Jackie and Nat and Van <3. And she has a love hate relationship with Shauna. 2. She and Mona made out in 2x19 during their secret rendezvous in the principle’s office to get the blackmail info. Because it pleases me to think that <3. 3. I think she has major abandonment issues between Alison and Maya dying and her dad’s constant absences and then his death post jump and I think it effects the way she approaches relationships throughout the series a lot.

a reason they suck: she can be prideful and stubborn and has commitment issues for days but I adore all those things about her tbh <3. In terms of things that really do bother me though her reaction when learning Maya is bi … really not good you could chalk it up to Pll writers biphobia and that would be true but I also do think there’s something there about ideas Emily’s internalized from growing up with Pam’s views combined with Alison’s behavior to her pre series that’s not an excuse for it just imo a possible explanation that makes sense for the character and her judgements.

a reason they are great: I mean there’s obvious stuff like her being a really kind and loyal and compassionate person and I do love all those things about her but they are pretty obvious so I won’t delve hardcore into explaining them, she’s a really good person. But I see there are being a lot more to her character at least from my perspective. She’s also a character who starts out with a lot of drive and ambition while it’s of a very different type to say Spencer or Aria or Mona’s ambition and she’s characterized as much quieter about it, and who deals with a lot of repressed anger as the series goes on and she experiences a lot of trauma which speaks to me in chars (don’t know what that says about me lol) and can be vmessy in an understated way that I generally enjoy… I love how hateful she gets sometimes lmao like they say she’s the sweet one but she can be fucking savage when a situation calls for it and I love that, there are small petty moments when she’s in a fight with someone that are really fun and then more serious examples with people who absolutely deserve her anger one of the best moments for this being put to use to it’s full potential when she’s the one to go up to Ezra in 4b after the 4x20 reveal to Aria and give him that speech that ends with “and can you make sure a real teacher gets this” I love herrr. Also love that she is a himbo lesbian icon tbh she’s so charming about it <3. She’s so charming in general… I love her

a reason I relate to them: oh I can relate to a fair amount about Emily lol a lot of her feelings about her sexuality in s1 are very real when I think of my teenage self or even my right now self, some things about her family life (in the show not in the books, book! Emily’s family life is… next level terrible omg one thing I am glad the show changed up dramatically). And I have some similar personality traits. I kind of can relate to specific facets of all the main Pll girls except Hanna and Alison in some way but Spencer and Emily the most I’d say

(what I consider to be) the top tier otp/ot3 for that character: ultimately Spencer/Emily has my heart the most although I do ship her with pretty much every woman of the main cast lol. But Spemily rules imo and it’s so my cup of tea dynamically (chars who seem like opposites (how Spencer is seen as uptight and a leader while Emily is seen as mellow and sweet) but are more similar when you look closely (at how they’re both perfectionists to please their family in different ways, leaders, fiercely loyal, stubborn prideful and competitive, that moment where Spencer says that she can see Emily is ambitious enough to want the team captain position as much or more than Paige does is such a great moment to me because of course Spencer would be the one to see that in Emily…), chars who clash intensely because of those traits but are also very tender with each other in moments that really count and have a lot of mutual respect) also ngl a factor is they’re both sooo pretty all the women on this show are gorgeous but they’re just insanely hot … and then for the ot3 a few dynamics have their moments but most consistently fun and interesting to watch for me is Spencer x Emily x Alison <33. I’ve mentioned before that I’m obsessed with the framing of Spencer and Emily clashing over different views of Ali in 4b and also late s1… also have made jokes before about how much Spencer hates all Emily’s girlfriends lmao (hate is an oversimplification because Spalison’s dynamic is very complex but. When it comes to Emily she doesn’t play lol). That’s specifically show-wise though books wise Emaria is my favorite ship for her I adored the way their friendship was depicted and it had shippy vibes a lot of the time, I ship them in the show too and when they get to interact one on one usually enjoy it a lot but it’s clear the writers didn’t care to focus on their individual dynamic as much as others, which is a shame. Tabby&Imogen’s dynamic on pllos actually to me is more similar to book Emaria in some respects…and I was into the Aria x Courtney x Emily stuff in Ali’s Pretty Little Lies and found that compelling.

five things that never happened to that character that I believe should have happened: 1. consistently go to a therapist who isn’t just the liars counselor as much as I like Dr. Sullivan (this one would be the first for every liar) 2. She should have had an actual arc post time jump around grieving her dad… it’s absolutely criminal that we just get that scene of her at Wayne’s grave (which is one of Shay’s best scenes on the show imo) and a little lip service done to it in the first couple of episodes but not even a flashback to his funeral… a million Haleb Spaleb Spoby flashbacks a Jaria flashback but not one to one of your leads losing a parent it’s not an exact comparison because anti-blackness specifically was a different factor with how Bonnie was treated in TVD but since I just got to her dad’s introduction in my rewatch and it’s on my mind could kind of draw a parallel to how her losing a parent was a peripheral plot, we saw her reaction in one scene and then moved on to other magical factors involved with her being stuck on the other side vs Elena’s grief about her parents and Caroline’s arc around losing her mom in s6. Like it is telling that on both shows it’s the WoC who doesn’t get the same space for her storyline (different factors again because anti blackness re: Bonnie and homophobia in Pll but .. you get it). But anyway, post jump sets her up as being a much less put together char than pre jump Emily with the dropping out of school and not telling anyone etc. so delving into how unstablized she feels, the ways she might want to emulate her dad (I do think that shows up but not in a very intentional way) and actually letting us see the flashbacks to how this impacted her relationships instead of being told. I actually have had an idea for a while about a fic I’d like to write about this but haven’t felt like I had the time to actually write it although this is making me think about it/want to go back to it again… 3. I don’t think this is controversial Maya should not have died, and Emily’s love life… well that could have gone in different directions and I would have been happy she and Maya could’ve broken up for a while then gotten back together post time jump, or they could have done Emison but actually committed to exploring what’s interesting about Emison instead of the milquetoast end of series Emison, or both of those, if we’re sticking with her canon li’s. I’m not a huge fan of Paily but I wouldn’t necessarily want it to not exist because I think there is some interesting narrative stuff there about what it means to Emily to be Paige’s Alison, for want of a better word. But I do think a lot of their relationship content isn’t that interesting and would have liked it to not be the big ticket ship/soo prominent just based on personal preference. And I would have gotten rid of.. maybe not every girlfriend of the week because I do like that Emily’s a ladykiller but most of them were flops so I’d have gotten rid of a lot of them and/or made them less prevalent. And if I had full creative control I obviously would have wanted her to date Spencer or Hanna or Mona but that also goes more into things I’d change for the other liars so I didn’t include it here 4) her s3 arc (if Maya still dies) should have actually gotten to be about her grieving Maya and how that coincides with A trauma (especially given how brutal she got it in s2 between the carbon monoxide barn and the ointment-induced ulcer and everything, and Mona didn’t kill Maya/isn’t responsible for that but it happened in the same spiral) and not about the Nate mystery… and if there was going to be a plot about transference in grief (which I could totally be on board for!) it should have been with someone who wasn’t Nate… 5) no egg donation mystery plot that leads to weird rapey Emison baby plot … I realize like 4 of those were very obvious things that didn’t merit much explantation and one I ranted about a lot.

five people that character never fell in love with and why: I’ll go with the assumption that she’s only ever been in love with Maya Ali and Paige (yeah I think she did love Paige even if it was maybe a less intense type of love for her than some others and even if it isn’t my favorite dynamic outside of enjoying it as part of a psuedo triangle with Spencer or Ali at different points) when writing this out 1. Spencer - They do clash a lot, I think it would take the right situation for them to have a more stable approach to their dynamic. Alternately I could also see them in a totally unstable situation and getting together in the worst way possible and I would probably love it xd. 2. Hanna — I feel like they could have easily fallen in love if you removed other factors like their other li’s and separated dramas, even though Spemily is my favorite singular ship dynamic I do think Hanna and Emily are ultimately most compatable. 3. Mona — in another life… but in this one they’re too fixated on their blondes. They do have great chemistry the rare times they interact one on one imo and I do choose to believe they made out in 2x19 and that also contributes (aside from the other totally valid reasons) to Emily’s extreme hostility towards her later lol. 4. Jenna - Emily is consistently the most hostile to Jenna out of all the girls which I find interesting (Aria is consistently the most receptive/compassionate towards her which is interesting to me for different reasons) part of it is because she gets close to Toby before anyone I also think Emily is a prideful person who deeply dislikes feeling guilty (even though she has a guilt complex about a lot of things) so Jenna is a sore spot for her. I did always think their actresses had chemistry though. 5. Sara - I mean… there was very little there for me to dig into tbh but ultimately I think Emily saw Sara as a project to fix and needed that post dollhouse because she prefers to be the caretaker, and that’s how I view the relationship/why Emily was so into her when she’s… quite a blank slate before the reveal she’s evil lol. I also think there was potential for some interesting stuff about transference from Ali to Sara but it’s not really in the text especially since Sara doesn’t act much like Ali despite having a similar backstory.

thank you for asking!

Ranking the Primarchs

@lagomxrph​💚 asked me ages ago how I would rank the Primarchs and I diplomatically declined to answer.

But I think it is time to actually do a list since I've decided to read all of the Horus Heresy books.

I want to make a list now and then do an update when I've finished all of them and see what has changed. (I wish i would have made one before reading the first three books because at least two primarchs have drastically changed places on this list after reading them)

(I feel like people are going to be upset by this list 😅)

Rogal Dorn - He is the best and the emperor's favourite for a reason. He is hard working, has the best humor, he is just great. He is what I wished I was.

Roboute Guilliman  - Roboute is so painfully relatable, he can fix ANYTHING but himself. He is such a misunderstood character by the fans in general. Give him a chance, he is delightful.

Perturabo -  Is also very relatable, but in the worst way possible. He is petty, jealous and cares too much about a world that doesn't give two shits about him. He thinks he has a good poker face but he doesn't so he comes across as even more unlikeable. He is wonderful to read about.

Horus -  I swear, he is the last relatable one. Him getting severe impostor syndrome when he was made Warmaster and then falling apart from the pressure... I felt that in my soul.

Angron -  I know very little about him to be honest, but he was such a delight in False Gods. I love him.

Konrad Curze -  I Love his Primarch book, he is so unapologetically fucked up. I love his tactics.

Fulgrim -  I feel kind of “meh” about him. I should like him more, he checks all the boxes for a character I should like but so far I like his legion more than him

Ferrus Manus - Don't know much about him, would probably be higher if I did. Mid tier.

Leman Russ - I used to HATE him but I'm warming up a bit. I like the himbo energy and that he stops playing dumb when called out.

Lorgar - Another one I used to hate but I have to respect a guy who is right so often even if he is a douche.

Jaghatai Khan - I need to read more about him.

Sanguinius - Sad, pretty vampires are cringe, angel wings are even cringeier. If he was more cool about it he would be 20% cooler, I feel Fulgrim would have rocked his looks and legion better.

Lion’el Johnson - Most of my friends are autistic (you pretty much have to be to like me), but Lion feels like the guy who talks about his special interest for hours and then tells you that he doesn't care when you talk about yours.

Alpharius - He is kind of cringe but gets bonus points since he reminds me of one of my larp characters.

Corax - what happens when you order Nighthaunter on wish.

Vulkan - to be fair, I have read very little about him. all I know is that he hugs people and lets his Astartes keep humans as pets. DO NOT WANT!

Magnus - I don't like magic or magic users. He feels like someone whose own life is a fucking mess and still gives you unbidden advice. Top-tier mansplainer.

Mortarion - Whiny fucking bitch without having the skills to back it up (Like Perturabo). Legit said that his upbringing was worse than Angrons. Also the master of double standards. Fuck em.

#warhammer 40k #warhammer #40k #primarchs #rogal dorn #roboute guilliman #perturabo #horus #angron #konrad curze #fulgrim #ferrus manus #lorgar aurelian #jaghatai khan #sanguinius #lion el’jonson #alpharius #corvus corax #vulkan #magnus the red #mortarion #horus heresy #unpopular opinion

[hasarjunadoneanythingwrong]

my immediate thought in regards to "why are all the grands men and beasts women" was "because sexism" but then I though that's jumping the gun, but then I thought about it and like....that actually tracks? Like look at the main stories people associate with Nasu, Heaven's Feel or Fate Extra or CCC or Hollow Atarxia. They all have a theme of "Women are extremely easy to corrupt and men are much more set in their ways". Even Notes is about a male killing a corrupted female figure. Pretty much every story Nasu writes boils down to a powerful force that's been corrupted into being evil, and the only male one of them that actually gets treated like a villain for it is Angra Mainyuu who still gets to be a main character and does the right thing in the end rather than have to be stopped by force.

I dunno maybe i'm overthinking it? I guess it could just be he really likes Sakura and Shirou and so he keeps making similar characters and THAT's why we get so many "evil woman of corrupting evil" characters vs "Bodysnatching and-or power/name-borrowing himbo who is very bad at trying to help"

I feel like it’s probably a bit of both of those reasons as well as a simultaneous combo of it being not that deep and also deep like

(Disclaimer that I haven’t fully read the source material)

As you mentioned nasu loves the shirou/sakura type dynamic and a lot of his work reflects themes that, while not identical do tend to mirror that in vaguely similar ways with the fucked up dude trying his best and woman suffering very much who then starts lashing out super hard thing it to varying degrees of success and compassion. And to be clear, I think Sakura herself in the original vn is a pretty good character- she isn’t demonized by the narrative so much as it’s seen as a understandable but not tolerable reaction to a frankly untenable situation, and she is allowed agency and to grow and heal as a person-her most important relationships in heaven’s feel aren’t just w shirou but also her estranged sister. Same case for shirou as well-he suffered extreme trauma at a young age that he never healed from, instead using an unrealistic ideal to keep himself moving cowards, and the routes all tackle that background and how it colors his relationships in varying ways. Obviously there’s still flaws w their writing and they/their proxies haven’t always been handled great afterwards (stares hatefully at ooku) but I think some of this really is just bc it’s two character archetypes that personally speak to the writer in question.

At the same time there’s def been more of a focus on evil and fucked up women after the case then there has been on the fucked up men, and if I had to say, in the most mercenary terms, it’s probably bc they think sex sells (or something along those lines). I know stuff like ccc was written with the premise that ‘all girls possess the ability to become monsters when in love’ and borrowed heavy theming from sources like utena, but at the same time there’s basically 0 focus on the men of that game or other games (sans gilgamesh and Charlie/karl in extella link.) Why can we not have any male secret gardens? Why is the game so heavily weighted towards exploring the dark side of feminine sexuality but locks you out of archer’s third secret garden if you play as a male character? (I know why, but it’s so petty when they don’t do the same to the female servants if you play as a girl) It hampers their ability to properly develop the character arcs and themes of the story when they shove recurring characters like Leo and Julius off to the side while giving loving attention to new people like liz and jinako and it’s truly a shame. This is a similar reason as to why goetia is now the only beast who is completely unsummonable (you can summon fou paws can you not?)-they simply want to dedicate more time to developing the women characters whether bc of preferential bias on the writers end or bc the women are more popular, but it does create a damaging implication about what they might think of women when they don’t also reflect that effort back into men

I don’t think this is something done out of complete malice but it definitely does give off unfortunate implications, especially bc a few of the beasts have no historical basis (kiara and koyanskya) and are just woman who girlbossed too close to the sun, whereas all the grands do have some connection to history even if they are more obscure, so it does give off the impression that the evils of humanity are all sexy sexy women and the world will have to be saved by men even if that’s not what the writers intended (I still suspect we will probably get a female saber, and ofc goetia is a man…72 men?)(I also argue that kama should’ve been a man or non-binary bc how tf are you gonna split list into a top/bottom side for yin-yang stuff and then make them both woman for personal horny reasons that’s just stupid. Fuck outta here men also list. Or, uh, women also lust? I’m losing track).

would also argue king Hassan is PROBABLY not a himbo.

#AAAAA STOP SENDING ME ASKS THAT TRIGGER ESSASTS #there’s also something to be said about some of the grands being relative nobodies like who tf was thinking romulus would be grand lancer #and yeah everyone has heard of the constellation Orion but he uses a club in that. yet grand archer?? #not to mention king Hassan fucking haunting the grand assassin spot pls #at least merlin makes sense. that’s like. yeah that’s exaclty who the grand wizard (caster) should be #my asks

[kikimochiiiii]

My personal take on MDZS kins based on what I've seen (which is almost nothing)! Understand that this'll be very biased n uninformed, but it's just for fun and I cherish all kins! Please and thank you!💕

WWX: Fiercely protective over their homies/mother bear type; Live for the drama though, so they WILL pitch homies against each other; They will state that their opinion is ALWAYS right to assert dominance; They never feel silly enough; "What do you mean people don't have a bi panic every 20 seconds?"; The life of a party, for better or worse

LWJ: They are very accomplished and orderly; But ask them about that and they'll say that they hate how boring they are; They can recite all of their unrequited loves in detailed, dramatic stories; They have at least 1, if not multiple crushes where they hate the fact that they love them; once they hyperfixate on one thing, they'll never be able to tell you anything about anything else; Shy n sweet, we protecc

JC: "I HATE THAT I KIN THIS MAN, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND-"; Their family sucks so much and they absolutely deserve better; They always want affection but can't help but act grossed out by it; will fight WWX kinnies in a gas station parking lot; prayed to all the gods to be asexual because they hate hormones, but they couldn't be more thirsty; have killer fashion that makes everyone double-take; A fierce, chaotic beauty ppl don't forget

JYL: The mom friend; Is always the therapist/advisor/caretaker/friend/mom for everyone else; Girl, are you okay? You are overworked for real; Wishes they could be intimidating once in a while; LOVES ALL THE GIRLY FEMME AESTHETICS; "I'm so average TT TT" (is actually talented in so many areas wth); everyone is protective over them and they don't know why, but they like it💕💗

LXC: Oh my gosh, ARE YOU OKAY-; Have an emotional wall higher than Mt. Everest; The person with the most propriety; Perfectionism is their worst enemy; Have definitely dealt with toxic friends in their life, so please handle with care; the best listeners; Extremely artistic in some form or another; Are kind to all other kinnies, but will bloody take a bullet for JC kinnies on sight; No one shall ever know their music playlists...

NMJ: "I am who I am, and don't mess with me"; If people aren't genuine with them, they can't stand it; An open book at all times; Their face WILL show what they are feeling; They are just aiming to find a himbo or cute twink for their love partner (or both!); generally nice, but can whip out insanely painful insults, so don't test them; They are confident, and therefore, they are H O T

JGY: GOSH, WHY ARE THEY SO PRETTY??; Definitely were the reason for someone's bi or gay awakening; soft aesthetic e v e r y w h e r e; "A-Yao never did anything wrong!🥺"; Will 100% not snitch on you if you give them a favor or are just hot; Are all about optimizing their situation, if you catch my drift; They are the most loyal of loyal friends if they cherish you💗💕

NHS: "I was born to be petty."; They can recall everything they have a grudge against in worryingly great detail; They will exact revenge on you, so be nice; They have the absolute maddest make-up skills; Work in tandem with WWX kinnies to make chaos, but take a backseat more often; Either habe the highest standards or none at all with no in-between; Bring them to ALL of your sleepovers

WQ: Queen energy 24/7; "I fUCKING TOLD YOU SO-"; They are forever suffering from the incompetent, irresponsible people around them; They have dealt with creeps thirsting after them, and they all wound up missing, oops-; Will be a full-on bodyguard for JYL kinnies and MM kinnies on sight; They just hate men in general; Extremely smart and/or street smart

MM: Also constantly suffering from idiots around them; They are so pretty, but very modern n with the trend when it comes to fashion; They are so stable and sure in themselves, we love to see it; Definitely witnessed friends go through VERY cringe romantic relationships; Doesn't talk much in a group context, but if you start talking with them, they are an awesome friend💕💗; When protected by WQ kinnies, they'll insist that they didn't need up, but they'll secretly like it👀

WN: Classic shy and sweet TM; People were absolutely attracted to them before because they thought they fit a trope, and it was deeply upsetting to them; They are SO INDECISIVE; Their fear over making core decisions is immeasurable; They have an intense fear of emails; "Please don't perceive me..."; Can pop off when defending a friend, and it's very hot of them

XY: "Okay, but like, I'm just saying...a pocket knife would be good for self-defense because-"; They joke about concerning things in discord vcs at 3 am that everyone mutually chooses to ignore; Are adorably extroverted; "Omg you like candy too?! LETS BE BESTIES!!💕🎵"; Are oddly sweet considering they relate to Xue Yang; Definitely tried the goth look once, but they still looked like a cupcake; The hugging type of friend; Occasionally bratty for attention

SL: "Why do all these people lack common sense?"; Had 1 (one)(uno) crush and then never liked anyone ever again; Everyone calls their lifestyle dull, but they just say that they value consistency; You have to plan a meet-up with them 2 weeks in advance or else they will PANIK; Their form of love is helping you manage your finances; Are actually quite mature and wise once you get them talking

XXC: YOU ARE SO PURE, WHY ARE YOU ON THE INTERNET; Weirdly aged and ageless in personality; Also the mom friend, but they aren't burnt out, unlike JYL kinnies; Wear super cute, oversized sweaters, I don't make the rules; sweater paws HNNG; Sometimes a bit out of the loop, but they're doing their best; Jump around in a conversation; Found family is their absolute jam; An extreme empath, so they have to protect themselves from too much depressing stuff, like the news

Okay, that's it for now! I just picked out some of the MDZS people that stood out the most to me for now bc man, this is long, but lemme know if you want my take on any other MDZS character!
