please could you do the characters rin sae oliver and kaiser for the ‘blue lock characters types’ ( female reader) thank you i really loved that post <33
love anon 💙
yes of course, I'm just a little mad at myself that I couldn't make the other post longer.. also thank you for including the gener my love💙
(Please call yourself 'love anon 💙' okay? ...or however else, it was just an idea :} )
Warnings: some have body types included, but these are just headcannons, okay?
Characters: Rin, Sae, Oliver, Kaiser, Karasu
---
Blue Lock's types?! ...part two
part one
Rin:
Bro that boy is a simp.
correction: they're all simps.
I think we somehow forget that the only thing they can do good probably is play football, otherwise they look like normal teens with muscles to me
However!
I think Rin's type would just be a girl who takes stuff seriously, as in not being a person who jokes a lot but who focuses on her studies and stuff
I mean, he can speak english pretty good, so I think he'd also like a girl who is bi- or multilingual (I'm european, take me Rin)
but also a girl who is like-- I don't know, maybe a little reserved for herself? Who doesn't really give too much price about herself?
I think he read a little too many romance novels (headcannon) and these girls now intrigue him 💀
but yeah, all in all I think his type would be reserved and no-nonsence, booksmart girls
bonus if you wear glasses, it makes you look cute and intelligent in his eyes
...
Sae:
I think the spanish girls have him down bad for them
I think he likes fun girls? like, girls where it's not boring (to him)
Imagine you met him in spain and just thought he was a hot dude and you just wanted to have some fun so you just do sum weird shit and he enjoys that
like, I can just imagine him trying to be goofy just for the hell of it because I always see him so bored and gloomy and stuff like that so I feel bad
Yeah, I can definitely see him simping for girls who like to crack jokes left and right
also maybe (I'm putting in body types here) he likes girls with nice asses? He looks like an ass guy to me
when a girl walks in front of him, with the jeans beinf full with juicy cheeks, he stares at them
shamelessly
I said it and I'll say it again.
Sae looks like he'd enjoy the company of a funny girl with a nice ass
we all thank the spanish girls for that.
...
Oliver:
hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
anon 💙... why him...WHY HIM ????
he a runner he a track star (...is it the right lyrics?)
Bro he'd just fuck anything that's female and breathing in his eyes
he looks like a 30-something year old divorced alcoholic who can't keep shit together
but okay.
also he fucks random bitches and you want me to give him a type???
bro I think just girls in general are his type?
Elder girls?
Cuz like in that one karaoke scene, he wanted to hang with two grown ass women💀
so yeah there you have your answer, he likes older ladies💀💀💀
...
Kaiser
a german huh?
I bet he just likes blond haired girls who like to run after him sorry not sorry
ok but seriously.
He is pretty arrogant, a big egoist, and loves to misinterpret things
so I'd like to imagine him chasing after a girl who's "playing hard to get" (his words not mine)
no but seriously, he really thinks the world evolves around him💀
Ness this is all your fault
but other than girls who are not interested in him, I think he also likes girls that are pretty sarcastic and make him feel worthless, just so that he can prove it to them.. (I really don't know)
but other than that, I think he likes the idea of a one-sided crush, and wants to "make her fall for me."
like bro fuck off with your weird-cut, ugly-white-ass hair
Karasu
I really don't know much about him because I've been watching the anime until the last episode and then I read the manga but not from the start so I'm sorry if there were some canon events that I don't know of..
but let's think about his type
I'd say...a calm girlfriend? A loyal one as well? (*cough*Otoya*cough*)
But I'd even choose Shidou over Otoya tbh💀
okay let's get back to the topic at hand.
Karasu just wants himself a loving and calm girlfriend, who gives him the vibe of a nice forest or steadily flowing river where he can calm his nerves
He looks like he gets angry easily..
so he has a soft girl
he likes chubby girls, just imagining hugging one and resting his head on your shoulder as he uses your soft tummy/juicy thighs as a stress ball and sighs contently
I don't know but Karasu makes me feel stuff...😍😫
---
Hellyu, how was that? It was actually rather fun thinking about their types, and I think I did a pretty good job. If I didn't, tell me and I'll change that!
Read you in the next post!

Hi, I heard you were taking requests. Do you write for Krüeger (cod) by any chance? If so, do you have any headcannons Yandere Krüeger x male military reader and how such a relationship might work out?
I do !! :) I didn’t mean 4 this 2 b so short but studying squeezed all the creativity out my brain
!! CW ;; typical yandere stuff, krueger is a bit manipulative, I went by the traditional / og meaning of yandere !!
🔪— yandere ! Krueger who, unlike lots of other yanderes, needed some time for his obsession to flow. It started when your units were sent on a mission 2gether and naturally, he gravitated 2wards the unit’s leader; you.
🔪— he treats you like you belong to him, even if you aren’t in a romantic relationship yet, because he decided you belong to him the moment he felt the nauseating feeling of lovesickness in his guts.
🔪— a relationship would b so hard because of your busy schedules, and he despises it. He’s highly considered kidnapping you but paranoia crept up on him, making him worry abt all the possibilities of you getting hurt while he’s away on deployment.
🔪— he’s always hovering over you when he can, scaring away any potential recruits tht might get a little too brave w you. And even if they did, this sets a target on their head.
🔪— he’s a very straightforward man, and he straight up told you how he felt; no matter if you accept or not, you’re his. This man is not afraid 2 lyk tht he’ll kill 4 you (and he prob did)
🔪— can b cruel and manipulative; lovebombing you, feeding you paranoid thoughts tht others are after you and only he is capable of protecting you, gaslighting you in2 thinking tht his obsession is your fault. But he won’t hurt you physically, you aren’t one of his enemies, you don’t deserve tht. Unless, yk, you like being hurt then he’s more than happy 2 oblige.
🔪— if you accept his love, as intense and insane it is, it wld b easier 4 you then if you didn’t; he’s not afraid 2 use force. You will love him. Doesn’t matter how much manipulation he has to use, or how many rivals he has 2 kill, he will have you. And by openly accepting him before it gets to tht point, you spare yourself a whole psychological battle between you and him.
🔪— not the jealous type, but he’s extremely possessive, and is very open about it.
🔪— like I said in one of the previous HCs, a relationship w him wld b hard bcuz of you two’s job. He’s alway sending you letters tht may or may not b stained w some blood whenever one or the both of you are deployed, and expects you 2 send letters back giving exact details on yourself, like your location and mental being, etc.
🔪— once both of you are free, he makes you cuddle w him. Like, bro just wraps his strong ass arms around you and keeps you in place so tht you can’t move a muscle.
🔪— it’s a possibility tht he’d use trackers on you, especially since he can’t keep an eye on you w your schedules n all.
🔪— uses force 2 get his way, whether it’s physical or not.
🔪— uses your fears against you and then disguises himself as your “savior” 2 get you 2 b reliant on him. As in, he’d put ypu in situations where you’re faced w your fears and come 2 your rescues. Doesn’t matter how irrational or bad the fear is. Scared of the dark ? You get trapped in a dark closet after “some rookie” pushed you in, only 4 Sebastian 2 come help you out. Scared of dying ? Your unit is killed off one by one by a “sniper” and you get fatally shot due 2 a lack of coverage, luckily Sebastian has came 2 cover you and practically saved your life. Scared of bugs ? Suddenly a lot more seem 2 appear in your room, and (rather suspiciously) Sebastian seems 2 b always around 2 kill them 4 you. At the end he’d always remind you in his thick, German accent tht you need him around, etc.

APHRODITE APHRODITE APHRODITE OMG OMG HI ITS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU POSTING !!! and about WRIOSTHSDFJS HES SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINE.
i have so many unsavory thoughts about his handcuffs....... his broad shoulders.......... his fluffy hair.......... omg he is so dogboy HE IS SO GERMAN SHEPARD CODED????? LIKE PLS SIR GROW EARS SO I CAN PET YOU ??????? i just wanna give his head pats and scritches while he lays his head on my lap 🥰🥰🥰 im such a sucker for that ong I JUST LOVE HIM HES SO FINE I CANT WAIT TO HAVE HIM
(sidenote also hurt/comfort wrapping his fists after he gets into a fight without his gloves ?? BLOODY KNUCKLES KINDA....... JUST KISSING HIS HANDS WHICH ARE SURELY SCARRED FROM THAT TYPE OF FIGHTING)
REN BABY HEYYYYYYY <33 I MISSED U !!!!
MY GOD SO TRUEEEE 😭😭 bro he is so fine forreal holy shit ;;;; there is just smth about him that !!! AHSDHAJKSBS I can't even word it but omg his vibes are just so off the chart 👀
AND YESSS My god just soft moments with Wriothesley,,, BRO could you just imagine how he would met into your touch, and how he would sorta push his head up into your hand when it pets and plays with his hair? and how, if you stop, he'd open his eyes and give you a little glare until you get back to it, then and only then will he close his eyes back up and lean back into your lap.
AN D UFUALKMDS THE HAND WRAPPING LORD HAVE MERCY;; the urge to write this fic after u mentioned it??? aaAAAA
Like him trying to do it himself at first, since he's experienced in patching himself up after his fights and he doesn't want to bother you with something like this, but he immediately caves when you see it, gasp, and then take his hand in yours to help. And oh you're so busy with spreading ointment on his split knuckles and wrapping it so gently in bandages, worried that you're doing it too loosely or too tightly, that you don't even see the way his gaze on you is so fond. He holds still for you, places his hand on your lap so you can tend to it, and does his best to assure you that he's fine, dearest. Wriothesley doesn't think his heart can take much more, seeing you dote on him and care for his worn and scarred hands–– then you raise his hands to your lips and give it the gentlest of pecks, then turn his palms over and pepper small kisses over every scar you know is hidden under the bandages. All the way from his hands, to his wrists, then migrating to his face and up to his lips. And it's all he can do to contain himself when his heart feels like it's going to jump right out of his chest.
("Be careful next time, okay?"
"I promise, my love."
"And find me when you need help, please. It makes me feel better knowing I can help you like this. Knowing that you're cared for."
and as if he thinks you couldn't make him love you any more than he already does, you just go and prove him wrong.)

Hey cice I was wondering... Which languages do you thing the itabros speak? Like, I mean, comfortably outside of English and Italian (and the dialects because of course they speak all the dialects)?
I have this hc that they both speak French, but Feli is much more comfortable speaking it than Roma, but he is much more fluent in Spanish than Feli is. And other stuff I could delve into if I wanted but I don't want to right now.
very interesting question! i wondered what languages these two would speak (besides the dialects ofc) and i seem to have reached a few conclusions :)
besides italian, both of the brothers can speak English fluently (duh) but I have a small headcanon that Romano has a stronger accent than Felice. That is because down here almost nobody can understand nor speak English unlike the North, so I wanted to add this small touch. Remember, Romano is more closed off than his brother when it comes to international relationships!
then, of course, the two of them can speak French almost perfectly. it was basically the universal language that was spoken a few centuries ago (not counting all the ties these two have with Francis) so it is almost obvious that the ita bros speak it well.
Feli...understands Spanish, but he's a bit insecure in speaking it. on the other hand, Romano is a pro at it. I'm neapolitan, and when I tell you even our dialect has THOUSANDS of words taken from Spanish you understand how much significant the Spanish occupation was for southern Italy. Romano speaks it like italian.
Feli understands and speaks German very well. Many of his regions were under Austria for centuries, and even today you have people speaking German in Alto-Adige. Romano doesn't understand a word of it and DOES NOT want to learn it for the death of him lmao.
It might be a long shot w this, but the both of them also speak Sardinian. Listen, Sardinia is...Sardinia. it is not south nor north, and I think these two share its territory?? very confusing, but they both inherit its culture and traditions, along with sardinian. it also makes me chuckle the thought of these two not wanting to be understood by anyone during a world meeting and so they start to speak this obscure language that no one knows about ahah.
aaaand to end this yes, they can understand and speak all of their respective dialects. However Feli has a predilection for Venetian, while Romano for Neapolitan.
and yeah, they can understand latin. byee!

Feelin kinda down so fuck it- how about some burnt bread hcs if you got any?
If not, how about disco kid?
~ fan-mans
hope u feel better soon bro ! also HELL YEAH BURNT BREAD !!!!!!!! one of my favorites :3
so where does it all begin? well.... (under the cut bc its Long)
aran didnt actually have to use any of dirty tricks to take joe down, so they didn't start off on that bad of a foot, or a bad foot at all. (fighting is par for the course for this sport, of course.)
that being said though, you still see n hear things ab eachother, and have assumptions as a result. Aran initally sees joe as a snobby, wimpy man, and joe aran as a scary, unpredictable brute.
eventually, however, aran starts looking at joe... a little differently. he pranks him a lot because yknow. its funny. but joe doesnt seem to mind it at all... in fact, he takes his pranks really well, and it makes aran see strong joe is in a way and how much of a sense of humor he has.
joe at the other hand, noticed that aran, outside the ring, was actually fairly tame, outside of his pranks of course. it helped a lot with mellowing his perception of him. combine this joe's many hobbies and aran's try-everything attitude, and youve got the start of a click !
news of their little budding relationship spreads around the minor- and world circuit, and kaiser begins to take notice ab how joe talks ab aran, how hed normally b horrified at the prospect of him being anywhere NEAR him.
so one day, in all his eternal german grace, he says...
''well if you love him so much, why don't you two kiss, hm?''
and joe hadnt gotten that thought out of his head since.
as for disco kid hcs, ive already told most of them so ill talk ab how the minor circuit reacted to joe wanting to confess to aran instead !!
disco, albeit kinda scared of aran, is ecstatic for joe, wishes him luck and wants to know EVERYTHING about how it went afterward
i imagine hippo would be pretty whatever about it. guy isnt too concerned ab peoples love lifes. wishes him luck like disco tho.
meanwhile kaiser? ''Eh, it is your funeral''
I imagine the world circuit wouldn't be as close with eachother seeing as how theyre busier n likely more hounded by journalists, but they do know in broad terms what goes on in the lives of eachother.
so macho catches wind of aran's crush, and he basically shittalks joe to arans face
''I know everyone's standards are too high for you, but joe's just a sad bar, even for you.''
Aran, not even reacting to the dig against him, starts ranting to macho about how joe is admirable as all hell for getting back up after 99 losses, and how that must mean he has a real love and respect for the sport. He even boldly exclaims that joe arguably works harder than macho, the victories who seems to come so easily to him.
macho eventually leaves, deciding aran's not worth his precious time.
aran then turns around, and OMG HE SEES JOE STANDING THERE !!!!!
anyway he heard all about what aran said (thats right, overhearing ooc conversations and miscommunication happening is OUT, overhearing conversations and gaining respect for someone is IN), and confesses right there and then. aran, hearing prolly the most romantic speech thats ever been directed to him in his entire life, is at a loss for words. He can't say anything other than ''of course, joey.''
and thats the start of their relationship :3
as for other misc hcs that dont fit anywhere else...
one time, when cleaning out aran's jacket pockets (joe's a bit of a neat freak), he found... a bunch of lint. But also !! he found a ton of crumpled up notes. They included phrases for the ring, comedic poems... but they also had affirmations for himself, about his family, but also about joe. joe, sans the lint, left the pockets as is. ever since then though, he's felt closer to him than ever.
joe will often try to pick up aran like a princess. considering hes still decently muscled, he can do it succesfully.
joe loves baking, especially bread, but aran will ALWAYS manage to set something on fire. think spencer from icarly.
they infodump to eachother ab their respective countries histories and folk tales, joe esp ab the former n aran ab the latter.
one time, joe and aran set out for a night walk. then, they (or rather aran) thought he heard a banshee screech. what they actually heard prolly was a car tire screeching in the distance. aran, however, was never the less scared SHITLESS and ran tf home, screaming highpitched. He had to be comforted by joe all night after they got home.
aran loves going to theme parks. he loves the rush. joe, however, hates the tall rides like the rollercoasters, n prefers the calmer rides like the teacups. They have a ''goes onto the rollercoaster alone'' x ''holds the persons stuff while theyre gone'' dynamic.
they rly like singing duets together, especially after a couple drinks. wine in joe's case and beer in arans case. theyve sang at macho's parties before as well, and needless to say they make for great entertainment.
aran often sends joe cursed memes n selfies that joe just Does Not understand
''aran, i will Not hold feet with you, zat's disgusting''
''come on joey..... do ye love me or not......''

Sword Art Online characters as dogs
This is a completely subjective list. It doesn’t have all the SAO characters. You can expand it if you want. If I hate a character, it doesn’t mean that I have anything against that specific kind of dog.
Oh my dog, what am I doing.
Kirito: a mutt. He’s the dog that first comes off in your head when you think “dog”.  He’s a medium/small size, black with white spots and very slim. A mixture of so many breeds that you really can’t distinguish any of them. He could be a good service/rescue dog with appropriate training or a good motivation, but nobody has any expectations on him because he’s not that special.
Asuna: a white Samoyed. A pure and expensive breed with long hair, considered a really pretty dog. She’s also incredibly strong and playful, which could be tied to how Asuna acts when surrounded by friends, far from her family’s grasp. These dogs are related to the snow, so it fits with Asuna’s surname.
Yui: a small robot dog that looks like a Dalmatian with dark bue spots. She really doesn't know how to be a dog, despite her cutting-edge technology. Kirito and Asuna pick her up like a puppy whenever she has to go up or down the stairs.
Agil: a St. Bernard. A huge, strong dog with an affable and loyal personality and considered a good nanny for children. Considering that Agil is the oldest of the group (dude is 30), works in his bar and spends a lot of time around the group of teenagers, I think it’s funny to think that he’s the “dad/caregiver” of all the others.
Klein: a red Shiba Inu. I had trouble with this one, so I thought “orange and Japanese dog” and boom, there he is. Shibas are apparently decent guard dogs so it fits Klein’s need to protect others. Plus, he’s the kind of guy that would spend hours watching memes, especially old ones and we know who’s the ultimate meme dog.
Lisbeth: a chocolate, short-haired Chihuahua. She’s nervous, easy to jump and attack, but a good dog deep down. You may not see her, but she’s always there to hear all the gossips. She’s not everyone’s taste, but you would miss her if she disappeared.
Silica: a cream sable Pomeranian. She’s small, not very strong, loves to have company and she’s more arrogant than she looks. In this AU, Pina is a tamagotchi that Silica takes everywhere.
Kuradeel: a grey Borzoi. A skinny bitch. Bro is glued to Asuna’s window while singing “Didn’t I do it for you?”.
Kayaba: a German Shepherd. The kind of dog you could feel comfortable with while still respecting him. He’s wayy too intelligent and calm. Not much else to say, Kayaba is boring af.
Suguha: a blue mix of Mastiff and Labrador. She’s extremely buff from training, and can be pretty aggressive, but is overall social and close to her loved ones. Her love might be a bit too much for many.
Sugou: a white and lemon Papillon. A posh and slightly smart dog that can’t win any fight due to how fragile he is. The name of this breed also means “butterfly” in French and in this AU, Asuna is capable of tearing him apart with ease, and that makes me happy.  Thanks to @transboykirito for suggesting this one!
Now if I ever want to draw dogs, I have a place to start. An odd place to start. Maybe I shouldn't have discovered Tumblr.

I am sending the greekified names here because replies are weird
Mondstadt - if we go by literal translation Σεληνούπολη or Φεγγαρούπολη (latter feels really cute and nice and home-y). But for the funny version that is closer to what the english (well german ig) Μονστάδια (female because cities are mostly female named)
Now for characters
Albedo - Αλβίδος (I think literally his name means like whitening right? That in greek- Λεύκανση- is a female noun, so I guess White it is, Λευκός)
Amber - (literal Κεχριμπαρία) Αμβήρα (? I prefer the literal translation)
Barbara - Βαρβάρα (an actual name used here actually)
Bennett - Βενέτης/Βενέτιος (suuper rare name)
Diluc - Διλούκης but i will be calling him Λουκάς (for literal name I think Diluc means dawn right? so uhhh listen, Αυγή is a female name without a male equivalent so I would go for the next best thing, Ανατόλης (male version of sunrise and east, which i think is an actual name, but it is super rare) which can be nicknamed as Τόλης!
Diona - Διόνα/Διόνη. But she shall be renamed as Δανάη by me because i like the name.
Eula - Her name is Ευλογία. In my heart.
Fischl - Φισλ, because that's the name she got from a character in a book. Her real name is Αμαλία.
Jean - Ιωάννα.
Kaeya - Κάεγιος. Next question
Klee - Κλειώ I think. I this this is how it is spelt. If we go by literal translation, Τριφυλλίτσα? I think this would be super cute. Then we can go a step further and take how that sounds and name her Φιλίτσα (etymologically very different but it sounds similar)
Lisa - Ελίζα from Ελισάβετ.
Mika - Μιχαήλ
Mona - Μοναχή; I doubt this is a name but at this point if Παρθένα is an actual name that is used, why wouldn't Μοναχή belong to a very obscure saint?
Now for each of the potential etymology origins of her name (taken from her wiki)
English name "Mona," which is derived from Gaelic "muadh" (noble). - Ευγενία
Northern European name, an alternative form of "Monica." - Μόνικα
Old English "mona" (moon), which possibly stemmed from her career as an astrologer. - Σεληνία, or hell if you are willing to go several layers of abstraction Άρτεμης/Άρτεμις (I have seen both spellings being used, with the latter being more archaic)
From "Mona Lisa" with the first element derived from Italian "madonna," which means "my lady." - Κυρία. If you wanna be a little funny about it make it Κυριακή (Dominica) (KYRIAKI MENTION!!!! LET'S GO)
Noelle - Νωέλλη (Έλλη as a nickname, cute). For etymology, this means Christmas. Christmas (Χριστούγεννα) is not a name here. So I guess the closest would be Χριστίνα.
Razor - Ραζόρης. For a name with a similar meaning uhhh Ξυράφης LOL. But based on the vibes of the meaning of his name I am naming him Αλέξανδρος. My thought process is Razor - blade - fighting - fighting men - alexandros (lowkey what the name means)
Rosaria - Ροζαλία
Sucrose - Σακχαρόζη (lol, the literal translation). But for a close name that has a similar name I would go for Ζαχαρία.
Thank you for sitting through my insane thesis
Kye I literally love this so much….. You literally have a Galaxy Brain TM
Aaa both names for Mondstadt are super cute, I was unaware of Φεγγάρι meaning moon until now, (I only knew σελήνη bc of Greek mythology-)
Also yeah Albedo literally just means White. Bro is pallid. Making him Λευκός would be pretty similar to Diluc’s Λουκάς, I wonder what the ship name would end up being lol-
There’s nothing much I can think of to say about Κεχριμπαρία, although I find it funny how many more syllables it has compared to Amber.
I guessed that Barbara was probably Greek in origin, but it’s cool that Βενέτης/Βενέτιος exists in Greek as well, I hadn’t expected that :0 apparently the online etymology for ‘Bennett’ says it comes from Benedict/ the Old English word beonet (bent grass???) but that sounds a bit bullshitt-y when Βενέτης is right there and way more similar.
I really like all the names you came up with for Diluc, and I guess that’s where Anatolia must have come from! I like when places to the east of a country get given names to do with the sun rising in the morning, the word ‘Orient’ in English now has (understandably) bad connotations due to colonialism, but it came from Latin ‘orior/oriri’ (lit to rise) to do with the sun rising from the east. Ανατόλης being an actual name is super cool, it sounds really pretty :o
Haha I hc Diona as Welsh for literally no reason, and in my brain she’s Dian- Δανάη sounds really cool as well, like a regal name
Ευλογία. You are literally Galaxy brained that’s so gorgeous. ‘Eula’ just makes me think of Euler (which I know is actually pronounced like ‘oiler’ or something, but the UK most people just say it like ‘eula’. So I can’t help but associate her with Maths now fml). Ευλογία is actually so beautiful, it feels also like it could be thematically related to her character? I don’t know enough about Eula lore (still not a Eula Hager orz) but I think it could be a ~deep~ name for her.
Haha apparently Φισλ means ‘whistle’, but I think it the job as being a transliteration. Apparently Fischl literally just means fish or fishy or little fish (I don’t know about German diminutives but someone said it is) so if anything it’s less silly than the German lmao. Giving Poisson vibes. Imagine if Fischl’s outfit was not based around ravens but fish instead… beta Kokomi lmao-
Ιωάννα is nice, it seems a little more feminine than ‘Jean’, but I still like the vibes it gives off, it suits her a lot I think!
Κάεγιος made me realise that the true Latin equivalent would probably be something like ‘Caius/Gaius’ but I think if I was ever going to write it, I’d keep their names as close as possible.
Τριφυλλίτσα IS SO CUTEE AAA. I think it’s cuter than both the English and German omg. I hadn’t thought of doing a literal translation of her name for the Latin, her story quest uses ‘trifolium’, but there’s also ‘cytsium’ but lets be real neither of those sound that great lmao. Φιλίτσα is actually so cute as well auuu. I can just imagine Albedo/Alice saying it TwT
I didn’t know that Eliza/Ελίζα and Elizabeth/Ελισάβετ existed in Greek, that’s pretty cool. Lisa is one of the words I don’t really have to change for the Latin versions, bc she’s at least semi-implied to be Italian anyway
Μιχαήλ makes a lot of sense, and it makes me think of Mello/Mihael Keehl from Death note-
The whole section on Mona is so interesting I didn’t know any of it. I’m guessing that ‘Monica’ also might be derived from moon/mon, but I had never thought about that before, ‘Mona’ is perfect for an astronomer! Σεληνία/Άρτεμης are pretty cool, but I was wondering, is ‘Artemis’ still a name that the younger generations use? Bc I thought it was something that older women tended to be called.
I did not know about the ‘Mona’ of Mona Lisa being from Madonna, that’s really cool. I think we should call her Κυριακή for the lols though, it would be funny-
Νωέλλη/Έλλη is so cute omg…. Naming her Χριστίνα reminds me of how people were saying ‘Barbara’ is like the Mondstadt version of ‘Christina’, named after Barbatos instead of Jesus Christ.
Ραζόρης sounds cute, but I like the idea of Αλέξανδρος. If we wanted to put him through more layers we could make it the Arabic equivalent Iskandar which would be funny (bro is literally Iskandar Puteri)
Ροζαλία is nice, it would be cute to keep Razor as Ραζόρης and have them be kind of similar, I forgot that Rosalie is a kind of a name in English. And also Rosaria keeps the religious connotations (or the weird Mondstadt Pseudo-Christianity at least) by sounding like ‘rosary’.
Omg yeah I internally refer to Sucrose as Sacarosa (the Spanish ver of her name) bc ‘sucrose’ is really weird for an English first name lmao. Although it does fit her (she is a weird girl after all /pos), and she does seem like the person to name herself after a disaccharide lmao. Σακχαρόζη is cute, but Ζαχαρία sounds a bit more natural I think.
I LOVED THIS TSYM FOR SENDING ITTT. Sorry it took me a while to respond, it was quite late at night when I received it, so I waited to dissect it the next day :3 thank you again, your insight into Greek stuff is so cool and I always love to hear it

In demonology there are so manys kings and a few queens, sub princes and dukes, and genrals, and I love how most of the OM characters are mentioned in the ars goetia family or are in the lesser key of solomon, but i love the fact that they did not put Satan/Lucifer as a king of the devildom, and made a character who to my knowledge is not in any demonology sources that ive read.
Okay yes I have thought about this exact thing! They definitely seem to be getting their inspiration from the Lesser Key of Solomon more than the actual Bible. They definitely read about the story of King Solomon and his ring and all that. Though there are only a couple of demons actually named in the Bible aside from Lucifer and Satan and I don't think any of them are the demons we know. The Lesser Key of Solomon, on the other hand, has an entire list of 72 demons in the Ars Goetia. And every single one of them has a title like king or duke or even president lol.
And interestingly enough, the only two names on the list that they've used are the two demons we know have a pact with our Solomon: Barbatos and Asmodeus. Like there were seventy other demons on that list that they could have used, but they decided not to. And I think it's because they didn't want all of the demons to have a pact with Solomon.
So I think they must have taken the list of the brothers and their associated sins from a well known classification of demons that some German theologian just kind of made up and everybody was like yeah that sounds right lol. But it's the exact same order and each one of them has the same sin as each of our bros.
So I think they probably took that list, saw that Asmodeus was on it and then found him in the Ars Goetia and were like... hey let's use this Solomon guy too. Oh look he's also got Barbatos on his list, that sounds good let's include him, too. And let's read the rest of the Lesser Key of Solomon and take whatever pieces we want from it.
Which then brings us to the ultimate question of where in the WORLD did they get Diavolo? Nowhere, they just made him up.
Unlike every other character who has some kind of connection to the source material here (even Simeon and Luke who have Biblical names if not specifically angelic ones), Diavolo has ZERO connection to any of these things. The only thing he has is a name that means devil in Italian. (At least, I also have never read or seen anything about Diavolo anywhere else?)
And I find that SO INTERESTING.
Especially how considering in most media based on Christian theology and mythology, Satan and/or Lucifer is the ruler of hell, just as you said. Often if it's Lucifer, they really tend to lean into the whole fallen angel thing, but he's still the one who founded hell and rules over it. Whereas when Satan is the one they're using, he's a little more just... an evil demon guy. But still king of hell!
And not only is Diavolo the ruler of hell, he's part of a long line of Demon Kings. It's not like Lucifer used to be in charge, but then Diavolo took over or something.
But because they just made him up, his character is not bound by any limitations from the original source material. Not that they're very accurate about any of this stuff to begin with, but it definitely has a heavy influence. Whereas Diavolo doesn't have any of that influence at all.
And I think it's really refreshing to have a different character as the ruler of hell. Lucifer and Satan have more than enough going on and Diavolo is far better at that job than either of them would be anyway in my opinion!
And I love all of this, too! I also just love Diavolo in general, he's such a great character.
Anyway, I apologize for the length of this response, but this is something I have spent time thinking about lol.

What’s the fic you've written with the happiest ending? Honestly, Envy.
Do you write crossovers? I've done an AU crossover for the same fandom, but not really
Have you ever received hate on a fic? Most of the hate I get is in my tumblr inbox. I haven't really done/said anything about it bc no one really wants to see or hear about it tbh, but I've gotten a fair amount of shit for pairing homie with a guy and then also more for pairing him with a trans guy. I think the only ao3 hate i ever got was barely even hate, more like someone bitching that my tender threads formatting wasn't to their liking bc it's Y/n formatted

German Bros Week Day 6: Nightmare
@germanbrosweek
AO3
Ludwig stared at his brother's body. Gilbert was cold and still, his red eyes staring into nothing.
"G-Gilbert?" Ludwig stuttered, seeing but not believing. Gilbert wasn't really...he couldn't be..."But I am," said Gilbert. The words didn't come from his body. Ludwig turned around. In front of him was Gilbert.
"This isn't funny," Ludwig said, sternly. Gilbert just gave him a look while Ludwig assessed what exactly was in front of him. It was Gilbert, but he was transparent. He was taller too somehow. Ludwig looked down and saw that Gilbert's feet were hovering above the ground. He let out a small gasp.
"I'm dead, Ludwig. Want to know why?" The ghost-Gilbert asked, his voice laced with ice. Ludwig just stared. How was...this couldn't be real! His heartbeat still got faster though.
"It's because of you. You've destroyed me, Ludwig. You let Prussia die, your own brother." Ludwig couldn't speak. Gilbert couldn't be dead, he couldn't, he still had to be alive! It was a cruel joke or maybe he was hallucinating! This didn't make any sense and yet...it did.
"Yes brother," Gilbert spat the word like he was saying an enemy's name.
"You killed me. You let my nation die, you let me become mortal. This is all your fault. If you had been stronger, better, I would still be there with you! But now I must go on to the afterlife and leave behind the many adventures I COULD'VE HAD!" Gilbert screamed. His red eyes burned with fury and hatred. Ludwig stepped back in horror.
"I...I..." He couldn't get himself to speak. He didn't know what to think. Gilbert had died, and Gilbert hated him. Ludwig felt tears prick his eyes. Maybe if he had been better, Gilbert would still be alive! Maybe he could've brought Prussia back!
"Farewell Germany. Have fun taking what would've been mine," Gilbert hissed before starting to completely fade away.
"Wait!" Ludwig called, desperately. Gilbert couldn't leave! He needed to apologize, he needed more time! Ludwig fell to the floor devastated when Gilbert only shot him a final glare before vanishing. Tears slipped down his face, and Ludwig hated himself for being so weak.
Ludwig opened his eyes and slowly sat up. He was in his bedroom. It was nighttime. Of course it had only been a dream! A bad dream. A nightmare. Only a nightmare, Gilbert was alive and well. Ludwig hadn't failed him after all. Ludwig rubbed his eyes, surprised when he felt wetness. Had he really been crying in his sleep? Ludwig wanted to scold himself, but he couldn't. It had been a horrible nightmare, one that would make anyone cry. Though would Gilbert have cried? Ludwig wasn't sure. His big brother could be pretty emotional, but he almost never cried. Would Ludwig be worth crying over? Maybe he could go ask-
Nein! Ludwig didn't need to go wake Gilbert up! He was a grown man, he could figure out his own problems! The blond sighed. He should've been getting back to sleep. It had only been a nightmare, he didn't need to keep thinking about it, but the stupid thing wouldn't leave his mind. He didn't even want to be thinking about it! He still did though, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he got about Gilbert. Before realizing what he was doing, Ludwig grabbed his pillow and headed to his brother's room.
He walked in quietly, knowing Gilbert was a light sleeper. He felt immense relief when he saw Gilbert's chest slowly rise and fall. Gilbert was there, and he was alive. It had only been a nightmare after all. That was it, confirmation, Ludwig could go back to his own bed now. Yet he couldn't. Something could happen. He could get another nightmare or a nightmare could happen in Gilbert's room. Ludwig couldn't take that chance.
"B-Brother?" He stuttered, taking a few steps closer. Gilbert groaned, the familiar name pulling him from his sleep. He sat up and let his eyes adjust to the dark.
"Hey Lud, what's up?" He asked, sleepily. Ludwig wasn't sure what to say. He was being ridiculous, Gilbert was fine. Gilbert didn't need him. He didn't need Gilbert.
"You okay?" Gilbert asked, worriedly. Ludwig was grown, he just had to lie and go back to bed, that's all he had to-
"I had a nightmare," Ludwig found himself admitting. Gilbert moved over patting the space next to him.
"Come on," he said. Ludwig moved forward then stopped himself. Gilbert has taken that better than he expected, but that didn't mean he should act like a child. Gilbert patted the space again.
"It's alright, kleiner," he coaxed. Ludwig slowly got into the bed. It was just too tempting. He adjusted, moving closer to Gilbert and keeping his pillow close by. Gilbert moved an arm around Ludwig and planted a kiss on his forehead.
"Want to tell me what your nightmare was about?" he asked.
"Please no."
"Alright, but I'm right here if you need to. Got that? I'm here if you need me."
"Thank you, big brother," Ludwig whispered, too comfortable to care anymore. He could act like a kid again for one night. It has been a horrible nightmare after all. He shut his eyes and slowly drifted back into sleep. Gilbert laid awake, glad to have Ludwig close to him and hear his soft snores. He would ask Ludwig more about the nightmare in the morning. For now they could lay in peace.
Gilbert sighed to himself as a selfish desire crossed his mind. He hoped Ludwig would get more nightmares in the future. He wanted Ludwig to come to him, so he could offer his brother comfort. He hadn't been able to do it for a long long time with how quickly Ludwig had become an adult. Gilbert really missed it, but that wasn't his only reason though. He hoped that the longer Ludwig seeked comfort from him, the longer Gilbert would be needed. The longer Gilbert would be needed, the longer he would get to stay and watch his little brother grow.

HETALIA | America + Germany
Drunk Antics
America goes out for drinks with Germany, and brings up the idea of the two of them getting matching tattoos together.
(╬≖ิ__≖) (☞≧ヮ≦)☞
Warnings: None, but maybe slight warning for mildly influential choices from alcohol?
Not fully proofread
The bar hummed at a constant volume of the voices from all the patrons in the bar. It was decently sized with plenty of space for large and small parties alike. Many people were hanging out in groups, drinking, eating, and having a good time.
At the bar sat an unlikely pair, Alfred F. Jones and Ludwig Beilschmidt. It was a rare occurrence to see the two together, under civil and friendly circumstances, yet here they were sharing drinks as they chat between each other.
Germany swirled his beer as he pondered, feeling the buzz of the alcohol catch up to him. How did he end up here again? Ah… right, America had - for some godforsaken reason - messaged him that “they should totally go out for some drinks, bro, like it would be so fun! We gotta get drunk dude, and hang out like buddies!”
Ludwig had questioned the text, unsure why America, of all people, would reach out to him to go for some drinks. They hardly interacted much outside of strictly business or formal reasons. Yet, with some convincing from Italy and Japan, Ludwig had figured it wouldn’t be so bad going out to drink with Alfred. Maybe Alfred really did want to be… friends with him.
But Ludwig didn’t hold his breath, the America had to be up to something, right?
Being the tight-knit person he is, Ludwig kept any possibilities of a friendship from his mind as he drank with Alfred. They were just there to hang out like “buddies,” as Alfred put it.
“And I was like ‘Woah that’s so crazy!’ And he was like, ‘that’s so cool, you’re totally my hero now!’ And I was like ‘I totally know! But thanks for telling me!’” Alfred was rambling on about some interaction he had with someone recently, and Ludwig felt slightly - only slightly, or more so a minuscule, amount - of guilt at not paying as much attention to America as he probably should have been. America didn’t seem to notice, though.
Germany zoned in on the rest of his conversation, though, sipping his beer as he listened. He would nod periodically as the American rambled on about… whatever he was talking about.
Despite his loud and obnoxious demeanor, Ludwig wasn’t totally hating the Americans company. He supposed it was because he’s had plenty of practice for tolerance of this kind of loud and obnoxious and idiotic personality.
As the two went through a few more rounds of drinks, after Alfred loudly exclaimed to the bartender for another round, Alfred suddenly turned to Ludwig.
“Hey, Germany, have you ever thought about getting a tattoo?” America asked, looking intently at the German, seeming slightly buzzed but still better off than Germany. He was beginning to feel a little more cloudy-headed.
Germany eyed the American, unsure where this sudden question came from, but answered regardless. “Not particularly… I never really saw the want for one, personally.”
“But think about it, man! We could get matching tattoos on our backs, like bros! Wouldn’t that be cool?!” Alfred responded, slightly guided by the alcohol in his system. Yet Ludwig could not deny that there was an excitement in the man’s eyes, he could almost see actual stars shinning in them.
Germany rolled his eyes before responding to America’s proclamation. “I don’t know…” he dragged out, hesitant, “Tattoos are permanent, and I’m not sure I’d want something like that on my body for the rest of my life.” Germany didn’t immediately turn down the idea of getting a tattoo with America, though, but didn’t want to state so to said American.
America slid next to Germany, swinging an arm around his shoulders as his face got a little too close for comfort for Germany. The smell of alcohol was apparent just by smelling Alfred’s breath.
“Come on, dude, live a little!” America said, a wide grin on his dopey face. “You only live once, right? And we don’t have to get something crazy, just a small and meaningful to us!” America got even closer, if it was possible, and if Germany was less drunk he likely would have clobbered the stupid American for being so close.
“Like, you cant tell me you don’t have a wild streak in you, dude. I’ve seen some German culture! You guys are into some wild things! AHAHAHA!” America rambled on, bringing a finger to poke at Germany’s cheek. With a slightly redeemed face from Americas words and actions, Germany had to fight hard to not punch the man. He want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and not totally ruin the night… but the more the man poked his cheek, the more favorable punching him seemed.
Despite it all, Germany did begin considering it. America did have a point… he could probably do with relaxing a little more, and maybe a tattoo wouldn’t be so bad, and it’s not like he hated the idea of tattoos.
And he would be… matching with someone. Germany couldn’t deny that the idea made him feel kind of happy. Only a little. A tiny bit. A teensy-weensy bit.
A long sigh came from the German. “Ja, alirght…” he started, “but what should we get?” He finished, staring at his drink wondering if this truly was the best idea. But the alcohol washed away that worry rather quickly.
America fist bumped the air with a, “YEAH ALRIGHT!” With an arm still around Germany, he relayed his idea. “Okay, so hear me out,” he started, and Germany felt himself regret his actions immensely already. “We get a tattoo of the American and German flags crossing each other behind an eagle with a heart in the middle!”
Germany looked at the man, slightly dumbfounded. That was… actually a rather sweet sentiment from the American and wasn’t immediately “LETS GET THE AMERICAN FLAG!!” Which America likely already had anyway…
In Ludwig’s silence, America added in an even louder and more excited voice, “It’ll be a symbol of our friendship and alliance!” And he struck his stupid pose with that big smile on his face and thumb pointing at himself.
Germany held a stoic face as he eyed the American, before he suddenly burst out laughing. “You’re kidding, right?” Germany spat at America.
America kept his wide grin as he responded. “What? It’s perfect! Trust me, man, this’ll be awesome!!” He stated, shaking Germany but his shoulders in his enthusiasm.
“Come on! I even have the design already drawn and planned out! We just gotta go to a parlor!” America added, whipping out a paper with the design on it out form one of his pockets.
“W-what… WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT FROM?! WHY DO YOU ALREADY HAVE IT PLANNED?” Germany yelled at the man, which only caused America to smile and laugh dumbly as he usually did.
.
.
.
The buzz echoed through the small shop as Germany and America laid on their stomachs on the tattoo shop chairs. For the second time that night, Germany had a clear moment of thought and wondered how exactly he got himself in this situation.
Here he was, getting a tattoo on his lower back with America of all people. The tattoo artists had accepted the two in that night, not really caring that the two of them were likely (really) drunk already.
America was babbling on again about something, before being interrupted by himself laughing - saying the tattoo location tickled - before going back to rambling about something idiotic.
Germany sighed as he dropped his head onto his crossed arms, heaving a deep sigh. Yet before he knew it, the tattoos were done, and the two of them were free to go.
The two countries admired the tattoos in the mirror the parlor had, and Germany found himself actually enjoying how it looked. Or maybe he was drunk. Or maybe both…
America on the other hand was as loud as ever, exclaiming how cool he thought it looked and that he was matching and such.
Once again, America had slung an arm around Germany’s shoulder - neither of them wearing their shirts yet, so Germany felt kind of weird feeling the sweat from the American on his skin - and rambling to Germany his appreciation.
“Thanks so much dude! These look so totally AWESOME! Everyone’s gonna be jealous of our close body for sure!” He ended with a thumbs up. With a hard clap on the back, America adds, “Thanks for doing this man, you’re such a good friend.” Both of them were too drunk for this… but Germany couldn’t deny he didn’t really mind it all.
“Ja, you’re welcome, I suppose…” he states, not sure what else to say, but feels a warmth in his chest at being called a “good friend,” and from America if all people! Who would have thought… certainly not Germany.
America kept parting Germany’s back in an involuntary way as he added, “And on we go to the next bar! The night isn’t over yet! AHAHAHAHA!” And with that, America dropped the money off at the cashier and grabbed their shirts before dragging Germany to another bar.
Maybe it was a bad idea after all…
.
.
.
.
.
.
A loud groan came from Germany as he slowly sat up, a hand resting in his head at the pounding headache he was feeling. What the hell did he do last night… he obviously drank way too much.
A lot of things were a bit blurry from the night before, but he remembered he had gone out to get drinks with America… he didn’t exactly remember what they did, but a gut feeling told Germany he immensely regretted it… what he regretted, he wasn’t sure.
A groan from Germany’s side snapped him out of his thoughts as he looked over, fear shot through the German in that moment.
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MEIN BEEEEEEEEDDD!!!” He shouted, jumping out of his bed as he stared at the “perpetrator” laying in his bed.
“Woah, dude, could you maybe keep it down a little? My head flipping hurts like a bitch…” America sat up, him also coddling his aching head.
Germany stood in utter confusion and shock, gapping like a fish as he stared at America. Who was laying in his bed. Right next to where Germany was laying. Both… topless.
In moment of clarity and silence, the two looked at each other - one more serious looking than the other. After a moment, there was a loud scream that resonated in the house before quieter screaming followed.
“WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN MY BED AND WERE IS YOUR SHIIIIIRTT!” Germany screamed, strangling America with his hands in a similar way he has done to Italy time and time before. America still held a dopey look on his face, not fully awake and aware - but when was he truly?
“Dude. Please. Stop. Choking. Me. Dude. Please!” America gasped out between moments of Germany’s strangulation. Germany was seething, feeling like he knew what he regretted, but hopefully it wasn’t true!
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME LAST NIGHT, YOU HEATHEN!” Germany shouted at America, seemingly quickening his shaking of America’s head.
“Dude, you’re gonna. Give me. Baby. Shaken. Syndrome!” America gasped out, feeling his headache worsen as his head got shaken about like some bobble-head.
“YOU IDIOT, ONLY BABIES CAN GET THAT, BUT YOU ARE AS SMART AS A BABY SO IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU!” Germany continued shouting, his anger and embarrassment seeming to know no bounds. “ANSWER THE QUESTION, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME LAST NIGHT?!!!”
America tapped Germany’s hands in rapid succession, trying to get the German to let go lest his souls leave his body from the strangulation. It seemed it was too late, for America felt like he was about to pass out.
After a few moments, Germany finally relaxed a little bit. He resigned himself to sitting on the edge of the bed with a solemn expression as he stared blankly at the floor of his room, mouth and chin resting in his intertwined fingers as he stayed completely silent.
America had managed to not completely pass out, but his headache was still very apparent as he laid in Germany’s bed starfish style, half of his limbs falling off the side. He sat up once more, feeling more aware of himself and less tired and headache induced.
“Bro, I swear we didn’t do anything! I just crashed at your place after last night. But you got so totally wasted, you should have seen yourself! AHAHAHHA! You get kinda funny when shit-faced- AH, OKAY IM SORRY, I DIDN’T MEAN IT, DON’T STRANGLE ME AGAIN, ITS NOT MY KIND OF KINK!” This only provoked Germany more, causing another round of choking. This time America felt he might actually pass out, but couldn’t pry Germany’s hands off his neck.
When things calmed down once more, Germany was back to his staring at the floor while America laid draped off the side of the bed, his upper body resting in the floor while his legs stayed on the bed. He passed out this time.
“At least we didn’t do anything last night… but that still doesn’t tell me why he was in my bed. I have plenty of other rooms or couches the stupid American could have slept on… what am I, a charity house?!” Germany pouted to himself, sighing as he dropped his head completely.
Germany finally got up and decided to wash up for the morning. He grabbed a new shirt to put on and placed it on his sink counter when he got to his restroom. He splashed his face with water, trying to wake up and get rid of the headache he still felt.
As he turned to grab a towel form behind him, something caught his eye. He turned so his back faces all the way to the mirror, enough for him to see it himself. Again, Germany felt a sense of horror.
There, on the lower part of his back, was a tramp-stamp tattoo of an eagle with the American and German flag behind it as the eagle held a heart in its claws.
Germany quijcly ran out to where America was, still passed out halfway between the bed and floor. Sure enough, Germany saw the matching tattoo on America’s lower back. Germany turned around in silent contrition as he morosely walked back to the bathroom to finish his morning routine.
.
.
.
In Germany’s kitchen, America and Germany sat in silence as they are their breakfast and drank their drinks in silence. Germany was feeling nice enough to cook a little extra for America to enjoy as well.
He may have felt slightly - again, only slightly - bad for choking out America as he did.
Both of them had managed to get their hangovers to calm down, yet neither tried talking to the others. America may be stupid, but he was dealing with twice the pain of a headache, thanks to having been choked out.
Germany felt it odd for the American to be so… quiet. It was unusual, and made him uneasy by the silence. He would have apologized, but… he’s not really good with words or emotions, and definitely not putting the two together.
So he stayed silent as they drank their coffee.
“Wow, you two look totally shit-faced. Party to hard last night?” Walked in Austria, looking prim and proper as ever. Just seeing the Austrian made Germany’s headache worsen for a moment as he looked off in disgust.
He had forgotten the man lived here with him, thanks to the whole fiasco with America this morning.
Germany only gave a grunt of acknowledgement, while America stayed zoned out. He was staring at nothing with a brain-dead look on his face. It seems he didn’t even notice the Austrian.
Austria walked past them as he went to prepare his own coffee. “You two were so loud this morning. Get a little too much fun together? I thought you guys would have had enough from last night. You do remember other people live here, right?” The man was as nonchalant as ever.
Germany spat into his drink as he stared wide-eyed at Austria. “WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! WE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!” Germany vehemently defended. Germany shot his glance to the dazed-off America next to him.
“YOU SAID WE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!” He yelled to him, snapping America from whatever he was thinking about. He looked confused for a moment before he put his hands up in defense.
“Woah, dude! I was telling the truth! I swear it!” He started, anxiously looking at the German, hoping to not get choked out again.
Germany glared at the man, one of his hands crushing his counter in the tight grip he had. “Don’t lie to me, America…” He seethed, ready to lung at the man again. “Getting tattoos must have been enough… right?” Germany added, his gaze conveying he was ready to kill the damned country in front of him.
Even America wasn’t dumb enough to miss the look Germany had. America kept his hands up, as if he wanted to take a wild beast. “Woah, dude, calm down… I was telling the truth! I’m not that kind of guy! Well I am that kind of guy… but not that kind of guy, you know? Like the France kind of guy-“
Having heard enough, Germany lunged at America ready to choke him out once and for all. America scrambled away, managing to dodge the German’s attack. The American made a mad dash through the house trying to avoid the German’s attacks.
The sound of laughing, shouting, and other forms of yelling and loud noises echoed through the house as the two ran around.
Austria sat at the table, sipping in his coffee and reading a newspaper as everything went down. “Yeah, I know nothing happened with those two, but it’s very entertaining seeing Germany get so worked up. I have to have my fun somehow.” He said to himself.

I really don't understand why you promote Islam. This religion is a shit. In many countries you cannot leave Islam or it is punishable by death. Homosexuality is also punishable. Not to mention the onerous stupid religious practices. As atheist I don't believe in any gods in the clouds. I understand that this is about returning to traditional normality, but Islam is no solution. It's a problem... like any religion.
As a child I had a friend from Bosnia. His mother was Muslim, but you couldn't tell that she was reading the Koran. They came to Germany as refugees and were a perfectly normal, adjusted family. So religion isn't the problem, it's just certain people and what they make of it.
I understand your reaction and agree that all existing religions contain a lot of junk. However, I have to correct some things regarding Islam:
Islam ist nicht gleich Islam
There is not THE Islam, but numerous directions such as the Sunnis with Wahabis and Salafists as radical excesses, which are the state doctrine of Saudi Arabia; and the Shias on the other side, with religious undercurrents such as Alveites and Sufists. In a distant sense, the Druze could also be counted as an Islamic direction, even if they distance themselves from the rest. I am my own interpretation, but I am very much in sympathy with Alevism and Sufism, since I am also convinced of reincarnation, for which there are indications even in the Koran.
What impresses me most about Sufism is the metaphysics, the natural handling of the concept of God as a synonym for the divine totality and unity in the universe. From the Sufist's point of view, it doesn't matter whether you call it "Allah" in Arabic, "Gott" in German, or "fundamental forces" in atheistic terms. I prefer Arabic myself because I simply like their culture and wording the most. As a demarcation, I refer mostly to "Bro Islam", so to speak, my own broish direction, to unite men as Bros in love under Allah. I think that's not a bad thing and that's what religion should be for!
Homosexuality is part of pre-colonial Islam
The rejection of homosexuality in Islam today is not a Muslim invention but stems from Western influence. All laws criminalizing homosexuality date back to British or French colonial legislation. Before that it was considered completely normal in the Islamic culture; especially since to this day anal sex is a common practice among Muslims, even among the Taliban, who do not reject boys as a substitute for women when the need becomes too great. It is therefore quite ironic that the West is now fighting with its shitty rainbow against the "evil intolerant Arabs". They are actually fighting their own shit that they left behind around the world 150 years ago when they made their unnatural sexual morality the standard everywhere.
There are old treatises by Arab scholars that deal extensively with different sexualities, concluding bisexuality as ideal; and that at the time, when in Europe you only had sex in a long nightgown and exclusively for procreation.
Atheism is also somehow religion
Atheism does not believe in any gods, but atheists tend to blindly trust science, which we have seen very impressively since the Corona measures at the latest, how it has destroyed us socially. The completely irrational fear of something that cannot be seen, but was preached by priests in white coats, became the justification for socially excluding those who thought differently and restricting basic rights. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally scientifically rational myself, but I don't blindly believe any scientists just because they have PhDs and speak on TV. As human beings, scientists are not infallible; they can err. But who wants to be the error of such people?! I resisted it and am quite proud of it.
Today science is heavily biased. It's all about "being there," going with the herd to gain recognition and ultimately funding. If, for example, you contradict the CO2 nonsense and can prove it scientifically, you will still be excluded from the international scientific community like a heretic. The same is true for alternative theories such as morphogenetic fields by biochemist Rupert Sheldrake; or less harmless things like the well-founded and very logical opinion of the virologist Duesberg, who contradicts the HIV thesis of AIDS from the beginning. Millions of people around the world have since been killed by the pharmaceutical industry and its toxins for they were told they were infected with something "incurable" and "deadly".
I also think that modern Western physics has become quite religious, treating nonsense like the "big bang" as fact rather than theory. That annoys me a lot when I see scientific reports, because they always give the impression that everything is based on facts and are constantly creating new religions in this way. But in truth, it's all just hypotheses. However, according to the philosopher Karl Popper, genuine scientific theories can never be proved, only disproved. This is based on the idea that no theory is sufficient to be able to describe the world in its entirety. Moreover, our knowledge always remains wrong or at least insufficient, for we are not omniscient like God.
In conclusion, Atheists tend to embrace ideologies disguised as science, such as CO2 global warming, which I have also exposed as a surrogate religion in my other posts.
God's Creative Work
Even the German physicist Burkhard Heim, who developed complex logic to also describe unquantifiable things like self-organization, morphogenes of living beings and consciousness, concluded that his physics is a new theism in itself, the fusion of science with religion by adding a calculus to physics that proves we are immortal beings of a multidimensional universe materialized from pure energy. When he developed his theories and formulas, he did not have the impression that they were his own ideas, but that he was only acting as a "receiver", as someone who gained access to universal knowledge and tried to somehow reproduce it in his limited mortal shell. Anyone who is intensely creative can understand his descriptions. It's just a flow of intuition and thought going through you. One function solely as a tool and at most adds a personal touch, one's own style of brushstroke, but the composition remains universal.
So Heim did nothing more than explore Allah scientifically. In contrast, religion is just the intuitive way without higher math and knowledge of physical forces. Art like painting pictures or composing music is another form of expressing the Universal Creativity.
When I recently picked out a few small practice examples for programming, I read about an alternative way of calculating Fibbonacci numbers using the golden ratio. That impressed me incredibly, because such connections can never be a coincidence, but simply represent pure meaningfulness. The universe has leveled itself to a harmonious state and this is expressed in relationships, which in turn can be mapped arithmetically to a certain extent, such as in irrational numbers or number sequences as symbols of infinity. Even such pure mathematics is ultimately nothing more than an expression of universal harmony, or simply the work of Allah.
Something New
I don't want to go back to "traditional values" either, because what are they supposed to be? As a man who loves other men and only sees women for procreation, I cannot identify with the classic family image. I use Islam, however, since I agree with many aspects of its directions, such as Sufism, and consider them a good fundament for creating something new and better. After all, you shouldn't reinvent the wheel, the art is in combining the good of existing things while simply removing the bad. So I find the general ban in Islam on depicting God to be very useful in order to prevent naive ideas of a "divine being in the clouds" from arising in the first place. I also fully support the ban on not eating meat of swins, because pork is unhealthy for us humans in many ways. However, when it comes to Schächten [shechita], I'm still undecided whether it really makes sense to bleed animals dry. You have to remember that Islam set up rules for warm regions in a pre-industrial era. Therefore, you have to take a critical look at certain rules and consider whether they still make sense today. But that doesn't change anything about the religious nature itself, the belief in the creative wholeness of the All, called Allah.

So I finally saw the Mario movie, so of course I am not gonna miss my chance to do a good ol’ write-up about my thoughts. Spoilers btw.
I am just fresh from seeing it, so this is very early impressions speaking, but on the whole, I am very happy. A Mario movie on the big screen is something I wanted to experience as early as I can think back and yeah, it did not disappoint.
Above all else, the movie succeeds where it needed to succeed most.
It’s a Mario movie and very proud to be a Mario movie. it doesn’t rely on a ‘’Oooooh, Mario is in our world’’ kind of gimmick or anything. It looks like Mario, it sounds like Mario and it plays out like a Mario film and I mean all that in the best ways possible.
The movie is pure eye candy and while seeing so much of it’s setpieces from trailers already caught me off-guard, there was still more than enough to see. Brooklyn and the way it was made to fit with Mario’s current aesthetic was a major highlight there.
The characters look great, it’s full of detail, really, nothing to complain about there.
Music is a delight too, any time I recognized one of the game themes, which was a lot of times, made me grin. The licensed songs do clash with that, but are ultimately inoffensive. I get when people hate it, but for me, it’s just there.
I watched the movie in german, so I can’t comment on the english cast at large, but I liked them from the trailers and the german cast absolutely delivered too, with Luigi and DK being particular highlights.
Speaking of DK, everything around him and his series was fantastic to see. I always want to see the Marioverse be more connected and seeing a taste of that on the big-screen makes me more than a little giddy.
All that is good stuff and the many references to spot are going to make this an incredible movie to rewatch and discover new details, but there is one issue that I do think may make this movie a more difficult sell for people not super into Mario.
The beginning in Brooklyn is my favorite part of the movie for how it establishes Mario and Luigi, their relationship and struggles with both their business and earning the approval of others around them (being someone in the know and nostalgic about the old backstory adds extra points obviously). It takes time to show them actually at a job, gives Foreman Spike and Pauline small parts to give that fuzzy feeling of familiarity and all around serves as a great introduction. It’s nothing deep but it does a lot to elevate the Bros as characters in a way that suits the medium.
Once the Mushroom Kingdom comes in though, a lot of that starts to take a backseat to jumping from location to location. It’s an absolute joyride, but it does leave a lot of concepts without the room they need.
The flashback Luigi has while captive is great and earned, given Luigi’s timid nature and Mario being so protective of him have already been well established, but it doesn’t really go beyond that scene until the climax. It works, but at least an extra scene where Luigi laments being a scaredy cat would have given his one big moment some more pathos.
Similarly Peach’s backstory, while simple, does create intrigue and a new dimension to her care for the Toads, but it’s only brought up once and stops being a factor afterwards. It honestly feels like an entire sub-plot got cut there.
There is more stuff like that and it is an aspect where the movie feels a bit insecure about itself. It’s clear the shadow of the live action movie was looming over the movie’s production and through that, it feels they were afraid of focusing too long on something less fan–service. 
I still enjoy what we got, like Mario and DK’s dynamic is amazing even without an extended talk about their dads, it’s just stuff they could have done a little more of, because the movie otherwise does blatantly bank on your existing familiarity with the cast and world to carry things. It works for me, but I can understand a lot more now why critics who have not much clue about Mario, were less impressed.
On that note, the characters also really landed for me. Luigi did get thrown under the bus though. He’s great when he is on-screen and his moment of glory intensely cathartic, but he really does not get to do much and his dynamic with Mario does not have much time to shine. 
Similarly Lumalee is a big question mark for me. He’s amusing, but there is no context as to how Bowser got him. I really did expect some kind of Galaxy tease that just never happens and due to how little time the prisoners get, Lumalee really ends up just being a vehicle for macabre jokes.
I do also wish Peach was allowed to be a liiiittle more flawed, like I am totally on-board with her being more experienced because of her background growing up in the Mushroom Kingdom and always root for the SMB2 team to be the default hero team whenever possible. That I am all cool with, I just feel they overcompensated a little, because aside from being caught by King Bob-omb’s explosion, I struggle to think of a single mistake she made the entire movie, while everyone else bumbles at some point. Not a big deal, she ended up far more endearing than I expected, I just feel they could have made it more balanced than constant hypercompetence. 
The rest of the cast I have no complaints about. Mario is precisely what I want a more distinctly characterized take on him to be. All my praises regarding Toad still apply, Spike is great for what he gets, DK rules, Cranky is fine for what this version of him is meant to be, Kamek has good moments and Bowser is a hilarious incel that also caught me off-guard with how surprisingly evil he could be.
All that good stuff easily wins the day and made me genuinely love my time with the movie. A sequel really does need to address the pacing problems and let the characters breathe more, but I do think the movie is a slam dunk in what it wants to archive. 
This 100% is a movie for people that would get excited to see the Koopa General become a Blue Shell or see the Bros while invincible, put the smack down on Bowser and his army.
I am absolutely in this camp and as far as I am concerned, it’s a fan joyride, made by people that clearly respect the source material and I am happy I took on said ride.
I do wish the Plumber Rap used the same german lyrics as in the Super Show dub, but nobody’s perfect.

Heads up, Tumblr Nerfed the picture quality, so click the photo to actually read the notes.

Full explanation under the cut
Obvi Danny is swapped with Vlad here, so of course Sam is swapped with Maddie, and Tucker is swapped with Jack (he's still smart with tech, he's just stupid with what he does with it) Vlad here is the hero, and has an outfit similar to phantom's in this, gonna draw up his design soon, so now for the actual explanation of what happened to our boy here.
So we got the typical backstory for Danny, only Sam here spray painted (eco friendly and recycled) the portal black, Danny was just trying to get a closer look and wasn't actually skeptical, Danny got ecto vomited on by every ghost at once (bro was too ugly for them), and got deaged down to about 10 years old, only physically though, and of course the ecto acne and all that stuff, he has his Ice core still.
His ghost form causes a sense of longing, for the person he'll likely never be able to grow into, as the portal stunted his growth and he'll become a full ghost before he ever looks anywhere close to his true age, not that he'll admit this.
he becomes known as world's youngest billionaire (he got tired of explaining to people he was in fact in his early 40's and just said, if it makes me more famous why not)
Rather than being obsessed with the Packers and trying to buy them, he tries to buy the St. Louis Blues (idk a lot of ice hockey teams, I just thought he would like ice hockey)
he's still totally cringefail and creepy, but he gets away with it cause he barely looks a day over 18 (the amount of times he's gotten kicked out of bars for having a "fake" id is in the hundreds)
He adopts a black German shepherd puppy from the pound and names her Sam (when confronted about this by Vlad he says he only adopted her for defense and not because he was lonely af)
Yes, he did fall many, many, many times before he finally got the hang of running, walking, etc in platform boots
After he was made aware he got deaged back to ten years old physically he immediately checked under his hospital gown to see if he still had the balls he literally paid for and didn't have the doinkers he got with his free X chromosome (top and bottom surgery), and thankfully both are still just as he left them, scars and all (though his top scars changed from just the usual lines to something similar to crowns)
Thanks for listening to me yap about my dumb idea I got from drawing a particularly sassy Danny in a suit at school.
Still trying to decide on a different name or a nickname for Vlad so he actually sounds like a teen and not some weird vampire. any suggestions?

I'm in a sappy mood so excuse me for this, but I need to get this out.
I know it hasn't been long since I've started becoming an active writer, but I just really need to tell you guys how much my moots mean to me. So I decided to tell everyone my favourite thing about you guys. Yes this will be cringy and sappy and lovey-dovey and you will enjoy every second of it.
Also no I didn't put y'all in a particular order here stfu I love all of you
@chiskz The way we vibe about our ideas is incredible. I don't think I've ever agreed with every single idea anyone has had the way I have with you. We just ping-pong our way into our scenarios and I wouldn't change a thing. Chichi is our real child which I will protect with my life. Earlier today I saw an encouraging message from you reminding me to breathe, because you knew I would have a rough day. I couldn't stop thinking about it all day, knowing there was someone there who cared enough to remind me of that.
@pettypuppy-jonghyun I have never been judged for being married to Han Jisung as I have by you. You are a menace to society. Actually evil for first spamming me with attractive pictures to make me thirsty, only to then make memes out of me being thirsty. Actually evil. The way you remember the little things, like Yoshi, makes me feel so warm inside. The voice messages you just sent to me were so perfectly cut towards me that just shows me how real you are and how much you care. Also your car rides are the most dramatic thing I ever got to experience. I know Hyunjin would be proud of you.
@longingpurity You immediately write every single little thing I request to make me feel better. The way you ask me for advice and trust me so much on it makes it feel so genuine. I love how easy it is to just write in capslock forever about the most mundane things with you. I see a message from you every single morning and it makes me smile so much to know there is someone thinking about me.
@wanna-live-yn-life I am actually offended at how funny you are. Our dms are always a pure comedy show and anyone reading them would be convinced that we are stupid and that you are obsessed with Enhypen. If there is anyone that can get me to start stanning Enhypen it is you. You're my child and I will protect you with my life. Funniest damn idiot honestly.
@minnnie-binnie Our conversations are 90% life updates because we cannot seem to be awake at the same time ever. You are actually such a chill person? Like, I just know whenever I see a message from you I will get the most calm and relaxed conversation about mundane things. It's worth a lot to be able to talk about small and basic things without it being awkward. Also if I ever need a boquet I'll remember to ask you for help.
@minvho Bro you sat through me singing half of Skz songs - and badly. I do not speak korean and I did my best to prove that to you. You are my biggest delulu supporter. You genuinely convinced me that I could pull Han Jisung and made me at least 40% more annoying about it. I shall wait for your karaoke. I know you will slay and I will laugh at you the entire time.
@sensitiveandhungry You are my No#1 source of fic recommendations. If I need anything new I just check what you reblogged today. Actual Queen of reblogging. With you I can fangirl about fangirling. Like? I know this sounds weird? But just being happy about being happy, you know?
@skz-jisoo My fellow german stay. You have no idea how many german skz tiktok links are coming your way. I still do not know how we share every single childhood experience, down to the danger noodles? I am almost convinced that we were in the same kindergarten at this point. There is no way it can be this similar fr. We are bonded by sneks.
Again you idiots there is no order to this, I know at least one of y'all fuckers thought so for a second. I will actually call pre-debut han on you if you doubt my love for you again.

Sorry it's a bit long. 😅
Why Nikolas Tesla Was An Absolute Genius
Nikolas Tesla, a remarkable inventor and electrical engineer, revolutionized the world with his groundbreaking work on alternating current. In this essay, I will take a dive into the reasons why Tesla's ingenuity was truly exceptional.
First off, his parents were very smart folk, and that’s where he inherited his intelligence. His mother possessed an excellent photographic memory and was very industrious, and his fathers mathematical abilities were outstanding.
Secondly, he managed to bring his inventions to life, and express his theories. He had an extraordinary ability to visualize his thoughts and inventions in his head, When he came up with the idea for a new machine, he was able to visualize how it would work and what it would look like in his mind. He would then bring the machine to life and use it for beneficial purposes.
And lastly, he created the world's first electric motor and the idea of alternating current. What is not incredible about that? And along with that, he is the inventor of the tesla coil, an electrical device that enhances voltage by using high-frequency alternating current. The electricity can travel through the air and affect nearby devices. This invention was especially interesting because of the way the electricity looked, almost like lighting. The Tesla coil was used in the first generation of wireless telegraphy transmitters. Nikolai Tesla, used it to research various fields such as X-rays, electric power transmission, and lighting. In Present time, modified Tesla coils are commonly used to light up potent streetlamps that use mercury or sodium. Although it was considered dangerous due to the risk of electric shock and serious injury, it was an incredibly useful and important invention that led to many more.
His inherited smarts, way of mind, and world-changing inventions are great examples of his intelligence. He created amazing inventions, and inspired so many, and come on, air conditioning, amazing machine. Without alternating current/AC things like air conditioners, refrigerators and other useful household electronics would’ve been a dream, not reality, but with AC current, all those helpful electronics were created. Without his geniuses AC Current would have never been made, along with many other thoughts, inventions, and ideas.
Bro, this is remarkably well written. You touched the essentials of his works in so many details, it was an absolute delight to read it all. Bravo 👏👏👏
Tesla was amazing and way ahead of his time. Of course, he was also a bit neurotic with some of his 'cosmic' visionary, but I think his contribution to the modern world is significantly underappreciated. A lot of people stole his ideas, both the Germans and Americans were after his studies and inventions, and a lot of his blueprints had been 'lost' after his death. I'm rambling right now, but I'm really into him, Einstein and a few others lol.
