there are so many creative ways to approach any given situation in bg3 and i remain staunchly ignorant of all of them and do the most obvious thing possible every time. i got an achievement for beating grym without using the forge hammer and was like oh that would've been really clever, wish i'd thought of that instead of standing around it in a circle beating it with clubs until it died

POSITIVES & NEGATIVES.
fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OCs still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
Tumblr media
MUSE.
MY MUSE IS: canon / oc / au / slightly canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated.
IS YOUR CHARACTER POPULAR IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK  / KINDA.
IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED HOT™ IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK / KINDA.
IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED STRONG IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK / KINDA.
ARE THEY UNDERRATED? YES / NO / IDK / KINDA.
WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN STORY? YES  / NO. 
WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.
ARE THEY WIDELY KNOWN IN THEIR WORLD? YES (later) / NO.
HOW’S THEIR REPUTATION? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL
HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON? 
characterization wise, i try my best to follow what canon's established for jude- but i take both the localized and original japanese versions into account because there's things i love about him in jp and eng. and even though these versions can differ significantly, i'm usually trying to find a middle ground between them or going with makes sense for jude on a situational basis. aka remembering the creators' original intent for him while trying to execute that in a way that feels natural. one goal inside my head is to make his dialogue believable to the point where we can go "yep that sounds just like him" in both eng and jp, whichever version of jude you're more familiar with (or both)!
verse wise, oh boy HAHA i have tons of AUs by now (as it should be), that's where most of the canon divergence part comes in for this blog. to sum things up here, x1 is canon compliant, x2 diverts from canon sometimes (e.g. certain plot points where i feel like it's needed, bad!end verse for jude), and all my other AUs are of course hella canon divergent. and in the meantime, during all of this, i'm trying to keep jude ic everywhere so he feels like jude, no matter where he gets yeeted goes.
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.
thank you @ my mutuals for the already existing jude support! i'm grateful and just [lies down] predictably, we love him, but also ok, meme selling time:
there's both round haired and spiky haired jude to choose from, or even both bc this is peak character design
his entire character development from x1 is one of my favs
guy's not only extremely kind, but also really smart, ready to support, devoted, cooks, knows martial arts, is too hardworking, humble to a fault, and becomes inspiring
the above is true even when multiple angst plots happen, because he always picks himself up afterwards (his inner strength is unreal)
he's almost normal expect when... he isn't regularly fed coffee/gets too cold/thinks about gels/not knowing the implications of tethering/being dense in general/and rip in pieces if you hurt his friends
speaking of the last point, the duality of his kindness vs his rare, scary rage ("beware the anger of a gentle man") which I sometimes explore, unsurprisingly
if you need a doctor or someone that would probably die for you!! [will smith poses at him]
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).
prepare yourselves, jude h8ters [sound of bug spray] jk LMAOO
he's the opposite of special/wild/powerful characters AKA just boring at face value in comparison because being normal is a part of his character. and he's pretty reserved even though he's friendly and fairly easy to get along with (jude, the discord night theme to milla's discord light theme, the latter stands out and terrifies ppl while the former is standard LMAOO)
said boring-ness of jude is noted in canon too (e.g. other characters hardly being able to get a ruse out of him, his unexciting colosseum answers/interviews, his conventional taste in food). he also has common character traits like: trusts easily, nice by default, often unsure of himself. basically, he's weird sometimes and while he does have less common traits and a unique identity (e.g. being a med student who punches ppl when he needs to/scientist that still punches ppl when he needs to), that can still be 'too normal' in the sea of so many other characters and their varied tropes, even though it comes down to personal preference in the end. to summarize: one person's "this guy is so boring" is another person's "oh my god it's JUDE I'M DLFKJLDKJF" 💀😂
whenever the plot makes him angst/sad, i've seen (old) comments online that said they didn't enjoy that either [vs me completely winning in the bg when the plot does that while i cry :ratdance:]
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE?
i played a few tales games before finally trying out x1 and x2- which, as a lot of you already know by now, i would've gotten to earlier if they'd been more available because i'm ps3-less :''') i remember seeing x1 and then x2 come out years ago, thinking they looked cool (aka going "oh the mc is a doctor? they sure are making characters older now, just like that blonde woman" LMFAOO) but feeling overwhelmed by the amount of tales stuff i missed back then, i never checked it out (but at least i've played it now, i probably only could've watched a playthrough back then and it just wouldn't be the same).
until january-ish of this year, where for some reason, i realized "ok i've tried a bunch of the newer tales games but i'm stuck and not feeling them rn- what else haven't i tried? oh yea x1" and then, to my complete unironic shock, proceeded to enjoy it immediately like i hadn't enjoyed in a game since forever. x1 is now one of my favs for sure, and so is x2- mainly because i love the characters in them. and on the other hand, i have few ultimate fav charas, and i realized jude was one of them as i played. that, coupled with the themes of the games, everything hit different so the inspo happened! for example, i'm still crying in jumilla to this day
and around the time of my x1 playthrough was also when i was thinking of returning to tumblr rp somehow, but even if i hadn't planned on doing that in advance, the writing inspo i felt from jude would've made me come back anyway. there was so much and i had to do something about it!
WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING?
so many things: chatting/plotting with mutuals, slowly replaying x1 and x2, getting caps/making icons and edits, rereading threads, taking a break to play other games/do other things (and coming back with more ideas/inspiration)
it also helps that jude is my only rp blog rn, but i've always been bad at managing multiple rp blogs because i naturally gravitate to one character and just pour everything i can into them HAHA pure concentrated effort moment
making AUs and getting to expand on jude's character has been so great too. it's the perfect thing since this blog is mainly continuity and plot driven. i love going beyond canon and yet tying things back to canon at the same time- so jude's development and stories continue. i'm discovering new things all the time, especially when things "just write themselves" because of the pre-existing context/plot that's already been established, and yet it's surprising in the best way (shai knows this especially KDJFDLK)
MUN.
DO YOU THINK YOU GIVE YOUR CHARACTER JUSTICE? YES / NO / KINDA.
DO YOU FREQUENTLY WRITE HEADCANONS? YES / NO (but i should) / KINDA.
DO YOU SOMETIMES WRITE DRABBLES? YES / NO.
DO YOU THINK A LOT ABOUT YOUR MUSE DURING THE DAY? YES / NO / KINDA.
ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR PORTRAYAL? YES / NO / KINDA.
ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR WRITING? YES / NO / KINDA.
ARE YOU A SENSITIVE PERSON? YES / NO / KINDA.
DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL? 
YES like constructive criticism in one of those rp memes (that i haven't seen in a while) for example
DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER? 
all of the yes
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? 
if it somehow totally contradicted something i missed in canon, then that'd likely be a good explanation why LMAOO with politeness, of course
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT? 
it'd be a natural thing because we all write/see characters differently, and again, it comes down to politeness. with that, discussion is possible, or not- but it's important to comfortably agree to disagree!
IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?
this seems to be a natural jude h8ter free zone and for that, i'm grateful 🤣 outside of that, i'd be like "omg ppl actually remember who jude is? it's not the 2010s anymore" and in that case, dr. jude warns that it would be unnecessary masochism to be near this blog if you do actually know who he is and hate him ooc 🔥🔥🔥
ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS? 
yep, especially if the sentence or something else no longer makes sense because of a typo/error i made! and again, with politeness
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN? n o [angry bad!end jude with gun] jk and thank you if you've read this far LMAOO
tagged by: suggested by shai (@ervaurem), reading yours was like a cool time capsule!! thank you again for this ✨ tagging: if you see it and wanna yeet it! this is a big one!

Tumblr media
Oh Teen Wolf the movie just like hit and brought back all the nostalgia. 6 stunning wild crazy seasons of battling to survive to be brought back into the world once again as the movie that hits home.
Love and missed Allison, she truly was the anchor to Scott, their love story was tragic and hard to keep going bc of the way they ended things and how no matter the issues they both still loved each other even if there was someone else like Issac and Malia. When Crystal chose to leave and exit like she did in the show was a low blow, felt there could been more for them but her end brought new stories for Scott and I guess it helped to guide them as long as it could. I was more of a fan for Scott and Allison's plot also Derek I mean who doesnt love Tyler Hoechlin he was fun to watch alongside Tyler Posey when he was still with the show too. But actors leave and go on to do other things.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was a bit fun watching all the old villains come together, Nagitsune, and the Oni and the pack coming back together to fight also seeing Derek who ended up having a teenage son. Lydia ever so smart and wise love her too. Jackson was a bit odd to see though lol his reasoning for coming back and still dating Ethan and such was funny bc to me he brought back the HS jock who just had an attitude issue but he and Lydia were good pair not the best compared to Scallison and Stydia, Stiles was dearly missed but the story still flowed without him there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jackson and Lydia having such lil funny moments and him that guy lol he barely had much lines but he still can give a persona a giggle or two when he speaks. Hes like Peter without the kill mode flare that Peter gives. Colton is a great actor but Jackson was not one of his many good roles per say even though it brought him to grow and do more in the movie it just was meh but he helped Lydia when she needed the strength to weep for her BFF Allison who was about to dye again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Papa Argent and Mama McCall those two sassy loving parents, love them both so much even though Argent at first was such a douche in the show, in the beginning, he kind of became loveable when he decides to help Scott and he as an actor is such a cool guy love his other works. JR Bourn is just one of many of my favs since his appearance on Stargate sg1 yrs ago he's been fun to watch. Melissa Ponzio also such a sweet woman love her works on other shows to but being Mamma McCall is one of her best roles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Derek really had it rough on the show and in the movie, Tyler just can make you cry when hes hurt but his end was such a tissue-needing moment especially when he looked at his son one last time and held Gerard Argent who survived the bite and such became the big bad at the end, Derek sacrificed himself to hold him in place while Parrish used his hell hound power to burn him to ash which also meant Derek wouldn't survive that so he died leaving his son in the hands of Scott to be taken care of. It was bittersweet knowing they would give Derek an ending like that since they showed all the amazing stuff Derek went through and how Stilinski talked during the flashback moments to Eli which gave a bit of comfort to him but there was also that guilt Eli i think carries bc he never got to learn much from his dad like he should have but when Derek told the reason Eli is the way he is was bc of a past trauma where his son saw him shift into the were coyote when his son was in danger of coyotes about to attack which left Eli frightened of what he learned would be his fate.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Malia, Peter, Mason, Deaton, and Hikari didnt really have much scenes being a movie based more around Scott, Derek, Allison, and Eli, they kind of had small moments of being whitty and there for Scott even though Peter of all ppl lol not as sure to why he was around I mean he didnt even think of stopping Derek he was litterally cold as ice to him even by blood. Deaton was more of a guide he helped the pack like he normally does, Mason not as sure even though he was Deputy it was maybe for cast wise and Malia gurl is still the same but she and Parrish well be damned they get something going on guess the breakup with Scott was meh to her lol.
But overall the movie was fun to watch and suspenseful and brought back the cast as much as they could and left it open for more Scott and Allison and Eli adventures down the road if and when Jeff comes up with another brilliant story to come up it.
If you have seen all 6 seasons of Teen Wolf it really brings back the old times and the future for more.

In celebration of Mutual Acquaintances.. Satine: 5, 6, 7, 8, 28, 31, 42, 47, 48; Obi-Wan: 7, 8, 12, 14, 27, 31, 33, 47, 48; Padmé: 4, 6, 7, 8, 12, 18, 19, 28, 33, 34, 39, 42; The Disaster Boi: 10, 12, 14, 18, 20, 22, 28, 29, 31, 33 and bc we all need more sexuality headcanons, 13 for ALL of them
Whooo-WEE here we go, thank you!  Get ready for VERY VERY LONG Rambling!
SATINE
(5) Cleanliness habits: Oh, she’s a total neat freak.  Everything in her office is minimalist style and organized to a T.  If someone moved something even an inch, she’ll be hounding everyone about who was messing with her stuff.  Constantly washing hands, very clean, doesn’t like dust on stuff at all (has a bit of a dust allergy, actually.  Lily pollen getting everywhere is a Problem for her).  She’s practical, however, and if she HAS to get down and dirty, she will-- of course not without a suitable amount of icky faces made plus a side of complaints xD
(6) Eating habits and sample daily menu: Ok so we’ve got canon showing her eating meat, but don’t tell me Super Pacifism Lady wouldn’t IRL be that one ubervegan friend of yours on Facebook who’s constantly posting weird things about it and you gotta be like “aight Katie chill”.  ANYWAY, so I’d say Satine in canon eats healthy-ish?  She’s not the biggest fan of breakfast foods and is always up in the morning doing stuff, so she sometimes forgets to have anything besides black coffee.  She’s not a particularly picky eater so she’ll eat whatever the cook is serving that day, but she prefers simpler meals, and can cook for herself (which came in handy during the Year On The Run because neither Obi Wan nor Qui Gon can cook for shit (my canon is no one in that line besides Anakin can cook and I’ll die with it) and eventually Satine was like “guys, I’m sorry, but no, u can’t try and protect me and then poison me at dinnertime.  I’ll cook”).  She does like to pair her evening meals with whatever drink she’s having that night.  I also h/c her as a functioning alcoholic, so she’s always got SOMETHING to drink, but she is trying to work on restraint and control because when she was younger it got... Not Good at one point.  She also has a sweet tooth though, and she really likes chocolate!
(7) Fave way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time: Satine is a... twitchy.... individual with a stressful job, so she is kinda conditioned into stressing the heck out if she’s got too much free time.  Therefore, a lot of her free time is spent trying to relax.  Cleaning is theraputic for her, so she does clean (yes, there is a cleaning droid but it is nOT GOOD ENOUGH) when she can.  She likes that Mando sword box game we saw Sabine and Fenn Rau playing in Rebels, it clears her head and lets her practice problem solving.  She likes going for walks too.  She’ll sneak down to the kitchens and just make a bunch of sandwiches.  She does enjoy beautiful things, so I’d say shopping for dresses or browsing art galleries is good too.  I also think she’d be the type to read and write poetry, then save bits she likes.
(8) Indulgences: Look, Satine likes Nice Things, ok?  She does consider fancy wardrobe and buying nice paintings a bit of an indulgence, but she adores color so she excuses that as promoting happiness for the people. As so she does a fancy ship and other fancy trinkets around the house. She’s not a huge fan of most people touching her, but she allowed a massage once... she would be amendable to perhaps another in the future.........  Scented candles are nice too, clears the head.  She refuses to consider chocolate an indulgence because it is obviously the gods’ gift to humanity, excuse you.  Are we calling lusting over her secret forbidden boyfriend an indulgence????
(28) Who is their best friend?  Their worst enemy?  The sad thing about Satine Kryze is that canon wise, she is extremely lonely.  Literally everyone she trusts betrays her at some point-- which also makes worst enemy pretty hard too.  In my verse, this has led to her kind of shutting away from friends because people always leave her-- though I’d say she’s always been close with Padmé; she sent aid to Naboo after the Federation Blockade and got to know and became extremely impressed with the young Queen, and they kept in touch afterwards.  Whether they could be together or not, I’d always say Obi Wan was her best friend too because that’s ALWAYS necessary in a relationship, and they clearly stayed in contact and knew each other like the back of their hands.  I’d honestly say her worst enemy is herself, cliché as it is, because girlie makes a LOT of mistakes-- and then never learns from them or even acknowledges they exist besides an “oh whoops, that happened, we fixed it, everyone as you were”.  I get it wasn’t meant that way, but she legit committed ethnic cleansing against her political opponents.  I hate to say it, but there are very valid reasons for a lot of people to Not Like Her (none of the guys who attack her on the show count because they’re literally all douchecanoes fuck them), and she kind of shoots herself in the foot trying to fix the problem but making it worse.  I h/c her as having a lot of self-loathing problems because she is trying to fix things but nothing ever works and that must be her problem so she must try harder without ever confronting what exactly her problem is.
(31) Most prized possession: Woah, never really thought of that.  As much as I want to say “pressed flower from Obi Wan”, that’s a little too sappy.  I’m going to go with this.  There is a famous Mandalore version of The Art of War, and Satine has an uber-extremely-rare first edition copy given to her from her father, who was a master strategist and had the wealth and power to collect nice things like that.  Satine may be a pacifist, but she has her family’s warrior’s spirit, and she enjoys adapting the book’s battle strategies to her own political fights and how she shapes her own life.  It’s an actual old paper book, so she keeps it in a locked box under her bed and only ever reads it by candlelight with special gloves on to protect the pages.
(42) Hobbies: Like I said before, cleaning, writing poetry, the occasional cooking.  Oh!  Whenever she has Korkie over, she lets them pick the activity they do.  This may or may not lead to Duchess Satine Kryze of Mandalore getting very invested in Space Mario Kart.  She’s good at it too!  So yes, gamer girl, and she also likes looking at art and she’s also also pretty good at dancing and yoga, which she does a bit of both for exercise.  She also enjoys watching shows at the theater, but she’s weird in the way where she refuses to watch TV or movies because they’re “not as good”.
(47) If they were to fall in love, who or what is their ideal:  I’d say trust is the most important thing for her, given how many things go wrong in her life.  Someone she can trust to be herself around instead of The Duchess and can both support her when she’s falling but also call her on her bullshit (or try to, anyway) when needed.  Again, she likes nice things, so she tends to fall for super attractive people lol.  Another thing is, she likes to feel safe.  She goes for the protectors, those who fight for everyone and can come back and hold her tight in a hug if she feels like she’ll fall apart because she sometimes needs someone to protect her too.  They also have to be as smart as she is (only smarter if they’re not a dick about it) so she can have intellectual conversations (indignant yelling matches), and she needs someone who can match the firecracker she can tend to be, someone who can jump right in after her.  Not a weakling, basically xD
(48) How do they express love: She just says it (”I love you”), if they’ll let her.  If they don’t let her or she can’t for some reason (*coughOBIcoughcough*), she becomes frustrated because she isn’t always the best, emotion-wise, and she worries she’ll make the wrong gesture or do something to mess up, so frustration can build towards the other person so she can also be very snappy at them.  In general though, familial or romantic or platonic, it’s just lots of soft smiles that no one else sees, letting them see her in casual clothing, teasing them or telling jokes, trusting them enough to tell them about the confusion and stress inside her head.
OBI WAN
(7) Fave way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time:  Obi Wan is of the opinion that time enjoyed is never wasted, so he only views wasted time as exactly that: time that could be spent doing something but is instead being wasted not doing anything or doing something he doesn’t like.  His favorite things to do when he has time to himself are read (he’s not picky, he’ll read most things with an interesting plot, though he does enjoy a good mystery or historical nonfiction), watch trashy tv shows (he’s only watching them to judge how bad they are, it’s Anakin’s fault, really, he watched them first, and Obi Wan just needs to know what happens next--), sketch random objects (he’s a pretty good artist, and it’s relaxing), do research on stuff because he is a NERD, go bug Anakin and/or Ahsoka because he honestly delights just sitting in their company and hear them talk about their day, drink with friends, spar (with Anakin, preferably, he’s the most of a challenge because he knows him so well, and he’s the only one who doesn’t hold back at all), sit in the Temple gardens and check on Qui Gon’s favorite flowers he planted there and bask in the serenity of it all.
(8) Indulgences: Ooooohhhh this is hard because Obi Wan is so Obi Wan about that sort of stuff, it can be difficult to read what he would do xD  I’ll say he indulges in food?  That while Jedi probs have a pretty strict health food diet, on the weekends or once a weekday he indulges in getting nice stuff for breakfast, ice cream for dessert, fried food at Dex’s because why not, it tastes good and Anakin did a good job today or he did a good job today and that deserves something, so oh well, he’ll just work out harder tomorrow.  He’s also has some very nice old teas he saved from Qui Gon The Absolute Tea Snob he’ll have when he feels he needs it, and he’s got a cabinet with like four bottles of different really good, expensive alcohols that he’ll drink when he REALLY feels he needs it.  I’ll also say this, boi is vain about his hair.  Will never admit it in a million years, but he is, so he’s probs got at least some sort of haircare products that aren’t exactly necessary, ya know xD.  He also does like his creature comforts when available, so I’d say he’s got a couple super fluffy blankets and maybe the thread count in his sheets are a bit higher than average cuz hey, soft things are nice.  He also indulges in being lovey and mushy to the people he cares about 
(12) Favorite book genre: Hey, I kinda talked about that!  So yeah, I’d say he’ll probs try anything, but he likes mysteries and thrillers since with a book the Force can’t give you any Bad Feelings about anyone, so the surprises are genuine surprises.  He also likes historical nonfiction because he is a NERD, but he’ll absolutely pick up whatever’s at the top of the Galactic Times Bestseller’s List if it’s there and give it a chance
(14) Physical abnormalities (including injuries/disabilities, illnesses, allergies): His right hip acts up in the cold from an old slug wound there (Anakin does indeed tease him about being an old man), over half of his teeth are fake or replaced because come on, have y’all seen how often he’s been hit in the face?  Scars literally everywhere because everyone and everything has tried to murder him at some point or another.  I h/c him with ADD, depression, anxiety, and dyscalcula (he had to really work to be good with numbers) as well as PTSD because basically all of the Jedi do at some point (someone HELP THEM).  He also has TMJ, which I also have and I project my issues.  It gets worse when you’re stressed and grind teeth, so it’s valid.  Idk whether it’s canon or fanon that he has some food allergies, but I am ALL FOR IT with him just... forgetting about them???  And then eating some food and be like “hwoops I’m dying lol” while Anakin is like seriously Master again? and legit ends up the Mom friend with a list of foods like “is there gonna be this food in it?  Cuz he can’t eat it” and then he’ll eat it anyway cuz it looks good and Anakin is all “what do you have in your MOUTH” and he’ll be like “uh” and yeah, that sounds funny
(27) Biggest regret: WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS.  ok so we all know how literally everything about Obi Wan’s life is a mcfreaking nightmare.  We ALSO know he blames himself for literally everything.  So yea, he’s got a looooot of regrets.  I’d say his biggest though is not being a good enough Jedi (in his opinion) to save those he cared about (Qui, Satine, Anakin, Pads, the entire dang Jedi Order, etc.).  Maybe just not a good enough person, in his eyes.  If he hadn’t screwed up somehow, everyone would still be here and fine and omg someone help him
(31) Most prized possession: Luke Skywalker.  Ok, not actually, but y’all can’t deny Luke was Obi Wan’s greatest treasure.  I’d say actually tho it’s holos, of people he loves and cares about, in a kind of album he keeps to himself.  He hates having his own picture taken, but he loves seeing the smiling, laughing faces of everyone he knows (and is reminded of them when they’re no longer here).
(33) Concept of home and family: He always feels like other people overcomplicate this.  Home is where you feel safe to always return, where you belong, and family is those you love and wish to spend your life with.  Now, the fact that he only really allows himself to acknowledge the Jedi as a whole as his family and doesn’t exactly allow himself to dwell on specifics like what Anakin means exactly to him, what Ahsoka means, what Qui Gon meant, because he does love everyone as a family, why does he have to define it?  That’s a whole ‘nother basket of his issues lol
(47) If they were to fall in love, who or what is their ideal:  Obi Wan Kenobi has always been attracted to chaos and danger like a moth to a flame, so anyone he loves is gonna be a whirlwind of an individual.  He likes someone who can challenge him, who can test him.  He likes someone who’s loud and bright, the stars at the center of solar systems that everyone else can’t resist orbiting around and Obi Wan is no different.  He likes snappy humor and the amusement he can get from playfully bugging them into hissing at him.  They have to match him as a team, they have to be able to work with him (and he knows he’s not always the easiest to work with) and have his back.  He likes passion, he likes dramatics, he likes the kind of strange ones that other people find a bit hard to get along with, but he couldn’t love them any different from themselves.
(48) How do they express love:
PADMÉ
(4) What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy:  Assuming the people in the kitchen were not making food, Padmé would fix them with a firm Senatorial Scolding Face and ask them politely if they could move it somewhere else.  She can easily outargue any protests;  the kitchen is for cooking and she needs to make dinner!  If ppl were making food in the kitchen, Pads would roll up her sleeves and ask what she could do to help so it would be done faster and she could get started.  She grew up with her mother insisting her and Sola help out with all the household chores, kitchen duty included, so she’s a fine cook.  Anakin learned to cook from his mother too, so sometimes their husband/wife bonding time will include just making dinner together and enjoying each others’ company.  In an OT4 situation with Obes and Satine, Obi Wan is the only one out of the four of them who Cannot Cook and is legit banished from the kitchen except for making drinks/certain desserts, so it ends up with Anakin, Padmé, and Satine all talking and laughing while preparing food while Obi Wan pouts sits in the doorway and talks from there
(6) Eating habits and sample daily menu:  Ok, so you know how I said Satine can sometimes get distracted by work and skip breakfast?  Well Padmé is like that but worse.  She gets so busy with duties, she just forgets to eat for very long periods of time, and then she’ll be doing something and be like “woah, I’m hungry, I don’t think I’ve eaten today,” and Sabé/Anakin/Bail/whoever she’s with will just be like padmé nO.  When she does eat, however, she is one of those crazy people who Does Not Like Sweets.  Like, at all, they just don’t agree with her.  Anakin is scandalized.  Satine is scandalized.  Everyone is.  She just doesn’t like them.  She’ll eat fruit, but that’s as sweet as it gets.  So when she does remember to eat, or if she’s going out for a dinner, it’s usually something pretty healthy-- though Pads will confess to a weakness for nice cheeses.  There’s also this one really greasy bad fried chip thing that she’s got a secret weakness for.  Padmé’s also not a huge alcohol person; like, she’ll drink when others do, she’s not a lightweight or anything, but she won’t seek it out herself, just, something about the taste, and she doesn’t like not being in control of her head.
(7) Fave way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time: Honey, Padmé is from Naboo.  The luxury planet.  They know how to lazily waste time in style.  She loves long baths and listening to classical music, walking in nature (she loves flowers), practicing new hair styles, facials and manicures.  She also reads the gossip columns (no she doesn’t, you never heard that) because she needs the tea.  She just do.  She likes to read and study new languages (because she is Queen Overachiever) or just add to her bucket list of Ways To Improve The Galaxy.  Padmé totally has a Space Pinterest.  In reality, she trained herself from a young age how to relax so being a teenager in planetary politics didn’t literally kill her.  
(12) Favorite book genre: ROMANCE!  It’s canon that Pads is just such an ushy, gushy romantic of a person, so she likes stuff like Space Jane Austen and all the other romantic books.  She refuses to associate with Anakin’s trashy dollar romances, she thinks they’re bad writing.  He does not agree.  He also called one of her faves boring once.  They do not discuss books.  But also Padmé likes political history and civilization books cuz politician, and she’s pretty into the mysteries like Obi Wan is.  She likes religious texts too, learning about different ones, she finds it interesting.  Reading can be hard for her because I h/c her as dyslexic, but she loves it too much.
(18) Favorite beverage: Spiced cider.  She could get it homemade back on Naboo; cool and refreshing when iced but warm and tangy and perfect when heated.
(19) What do they think about before falling asleep at night: If Anakin’s not with her, she always thinks about him not being there.  She can’t help it.  If he is with her, she thinks about how much she loves him.  She also tends to do a mental to do list every night of what she needed to do before bed and if she’s gonna allow herself to sleep now or not.  She also has another mental to do list so she knows what she’s gonna do when she wakes up in the morning.  With the damned war dragging on, more and more nights are spent going to bed troubled and worried for the future. She also daydreams, though, of what she can do after.  Her happily ever after.
(28) Who is their best friend?  Their worst enemy?:  This is hard because Pads is so friendly with everyone!!!  Queen’s Shadow really made me fall in love with Padmé and Sabé, but I’ll always be a sucker for the canon and fanon where Padmé’s best friend is Bail Organa.  I’m sorry, but Bail is just a cinnamon roll of a human being, and he’s such a calm, levelheaded friend for Pads where she can be a bit overeager and chomping at the bit sometimes, but he’s also ALWAYS got her back and she can talk to him about stuff and ahhhhh and he literally raises her daughter as his own and gahhhhhh.  Is it messed up if I almost want to say Padmé’s worst enemy is Anakin?  I mean to be more general: her worst enemy is the Sith, as they destroyed the Republic and her entire life’s work and corrupted her husband and depending on if you believe the “draining life forces” theory (which I do) they killed her.  But Anakin was the one who got past her defences, took her by surprise, and unknowingly ended up playing the most active role in her destruction, which is immensely tragic for both of them because all he ever wanted to do was love her (*crying*).
(33) Concept of home and family:  For Padmé, home isn’t so much a place, but an idea of where you can feel closest and most at one with those you’ve decided to share your life with.  Yeah, she’ll always love Naboo, but you saw how choked up she got in that TCW episode where Anakin called her Coruscant apartment “home”; for her, home is a state of mind.  Family is a bit different; she’ll always have a bit of an idealization towards her own parents’ marriage and how she’s seen Sola’s, and how families developed from that.  Canon shows she’s envious because she can’t have that, the 2.5 kids and a dog with a white picket fence outside and a large backyard mentality.  She has issues over being separated from family; she had to drop the Naberrie name to go into politics, so I’m guessing there’s some distance felt there, and she can’t even publicly acknowledge her own husband as her husband, so she’ll cling to the idea of a “perfect” family as a someday, as a maybe, and working towards that someday and the long goal she can forget just how complicated and messy her real family-- her parents and sister, her husband, her husband’s new adoptive sister, her husband’s boyfriend, his weird side of the family --is.  It’s even more pronounced when everything is falling apart in Revenge of the Sith and it’s obviously falling apart and Anakin is obviously Not Fine, she tries to retreat and take her comfort in “oh but when the baby comes and we can be a Family, things will all work out perfect!  It’ll be okay!!!”
(34) Thoughts on privacy (are they a private person, or are they prone to TMI):  Padmé is an extremely private person.  She’s been in the public spotlight since she was thirteen years old.  Everyone’s always staring at her, what she’s wearing, what her opinions are, how she acts, who she’s with.  Padmé has nearly nothing she doesn’t have to share with the public eye, so what she does have to herself she tends to hoard and not show anyone except for those she implicitly trusts.  Now, whether she’s any good at keeping secrets is a whole other story, but she certainly tries!!! xD
(39) What recharges them when they’re feeling drained: Anakin can make things better or worse for her depending on the mood he’s in and the mood she’s in, but he usually makes her feel better just by showing up and being a dork.  She likes her greasy chip snacks and a good book, but she’s a sucker for a good spa day complete with fluffy, comfortable clothing.  Also, Padmé loves cat naps, and is the queen of setting an alarm and taking short power naps that actually have her waking up refreshed.
(42) Hobbies:  Is creating new outfit designs via Space Pinterest a hobby?  Because Padmé does that.  Padmé is also the type of person to have a Space Candy Crush problem, and I completely believe that Satine got her into Space Mario Kart (Satine’s actually pretty good at it and Pads isn’t good at it at all, so it’s in no way fair, but they have fun xD).  Padmé loves creating flower arrangements too, just creating beautiful things makes her happy.  She loves calling one of her handmaidens over and having martial arts practices because she needs to stay ready to defend herself, but also it’s just fun and she’s a good fighter.  Padmé’s also into scrapbooking, she makes a bunch of adorable books she puts together, and she gave one to Anakin on their first anniversary and he cried (she hides them, don’t worry).  
AHHHNAKIN...
(10) Neuroses:  Hooo boy, there’s a lot!  Okay, so Anakin is a very handsy person.  When he’s nervous or uncomfortable or stressed, he’ll always need something to do with his hands, whether that be fiddling with his clothes, tugging at his hair, messing with the digits on his mechanohand, poking at the wall patterns or other objects.  In general, he hates sitting still and has a tendency to fidget if he has to for too long.  He will also either stare you directly in the eye or dislike making eye contact at all, depending on his mood.  Fiddling with machine parts gives him something to focus his mind and his hands on, so that’s a real big help for him if they’re available, often times he just keeps scraps in his pockets for specifically this purpose.  He’s sort of aware he does this, but he doesn’t like to think about it much because that would mean thinking why, and if you try and point any of them out to him he’ll get embarrassed and probs just snap at you.
(12) Favorite book genre:  Anakin really isn’t much of a book person.  It has to do with his focus issues (I h/c him as ADHD), they just aren’t really able to draw him in enough to keep his attention.  It frustrates him because that’s another reason why ppl imply he isn’t smart, which is dumb, he can read just fine, he just doesn’t like to.  He does like the trashy penny romances I mentioned before.  What can he say?  He’s a sucker for the drama and swooning and Epic Proclamations of Love.  He’ll read books about the latest ships and speeder models too, because he’s interested in that.  He’ll also read tactical strategy books too, because of the war and all.  It’s just not his go-to form of entertainment.
(14) Physical abnormalities (including injuries/disabilities, illnesses, allergies):  Metal hand.  Eye scar.  At one point is one big giant asthmatic burn scar who’s like 80% robot.  But we’ll focus on Anakin as of now.  When he was a child, some brute in the market cracked him hard across the back with something heavy.  It damaged his spine, and Shmi was terrified for a while he’d never walk.  Thankfully, he recovered, but now his spine is funny as in it is super flexible.  Like backbends where it looks like he’s snapped in half, that flexible.  It gives him fantastic advantages in acrobatics and combat, but it also means he can do that creepy walk the girl from The Ring can do.  He has managed to successfully scare the living piss out of Obi Wan, Padmé, Ahsoka, Rex, and multiple others on different occasions by emerging from the shadows in the middle of the night doing the Ring walk.  No one was pleased.  Yoda thinks it’s hilarious though.  Anakin gets hit in the face just as much Obi Wan does, so he also only has like less than half of his real teeth still in his mouth.  Is also covered in various scars from people trying to kill him dead.  In total, I project many mental illnesses onto him, so I say he has anxiety, ADHD, BPD, and PTSD.  His super strongness in the Force means he is a complete lightweight, so alcohol is an uh oh for him; the only positive is that he never gets hangovers.  It also means that Force sensitive objects may suddenly go flying at his head when he’s just trying to casually stroll through a creepy old temple.  I also h/c that Anakin is allergic to tookas/lothcats.  No other animals, just them.  And it’s hilarious when on one occasion some kittens made their way into a briefing room and he just bursts into a sneezing fit, which, why are you all laughing at me? and then Rex points out the little kitten just perched on the top of his head.  Poor baby actually does chafe pretty badly from sand too, so his hatred isn’t completely unwarranted.
(18) Favorite beverage: Coffee with a gazillion lumps of sugar in it, protein powder because he’s all about the grind, a hint of space chili pepper, and like a dozen other ingredients that should Not Go In Coffee (one of the ingredients Is Bugs).  Obi Wan claims he tasted the concoction once and had hallucinations.  Ahsoka says she saw a drop melt the edge of the tabletop.  Padmé won’t go anywhere near it.  Anakin says they’re all cowards; it’s the only thing that can get him up and focused in the morning.
(20) Childhood illnesses?  Any interesting stories behind them?: I h/c that amongst the slaves, Shmi was the local medicine woman.  Therefore, Anakin as a child was constantly getting first exposure to all the local sicknesses and building up immunity, so besides one bout of food poisoning, he never got sick as a kid.  Once he got to the Temple... well, he was past the age where all the other kids had gotten vaccinations, Obi Wan, bless him, hates dealing with medical and was distracted by everything else and kind of forgot to make sure Anakin was up to date with everything, so he caught EVERYTHING.  EVERY LITTLE THING WOULD MAKE HIM SICK.  HE HATED IT.  OBI WAN HATED IT BECAUSE THE ONLY SICK PATIENT WORSE THAN ANAKIN IS HIMSELF.  IT NEVER ENDS.  ANAKIN IS TWENTY TWO YEARS OLD AND STILL CATCHING SHIT LIKE THE SPACE CHICKEN POX.  THIS ISN’T FAIR.
(22) Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?: Lots of writings of stuff like “Padmé Skywalker” or “Anakin Kenobi” cuz Ani is at heart a 12 year old girl.  Ok ok ok, but actually, there would be lots of different stuff on the page.  Mathematical calculations for ships and designs because he is a canon engineering nerd and I h/c he’s a whiz at math.  Also little doodles.  Anakin’s not a bad artist himself; his style is much more cartoonish than Obi Wan’s, but it means he can do cool little actions scenes of different ships or pods, him being a badass, Yoda getting attacked by space seagulls, etc.  Maybe designs for another japoor carving (I h/c he keeps the hobby).  Or, the page might be folded up as Anakin turned it into either a boat or a hat or an airplane that actually flies, or just a ball of paper he set on fire because he was bored.
(28) Who is their best friend?  Their worst enemy?:  OBI WAN KENOBI FOR BOTH OF THEM DAMMIT ANAKIN WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS.  Alright, alright, in reality, his worst enemy is probably more of a combination of himself and his own fears, Sidious for being an evil, manipulative asshole, and society for creating his fears and traumatizing him (though mostly it’s himself because he absolutely had the choice to do the right thing, but he didn’t).  Obi Wan is absolutely his best friend though.  No competition.
(29) Reaction to extrapersonal disaster (eg Oh no, the house is on fire!  What do we do?): For Anakin “I burned down the Republic because you left for an afternoon and I panicked” Skywalker?  “Ok, no problem, I got this.  I’ve got this.  No, wait, I don’t got this.  I defiNITELY DO NOT GOT THIS, I MADE IT WORSE, HOLY SHIT, NO ONE PANIC, I NEED AN ADULT-- (Ahsoka: You are an adult) --I NEED AN ADULTIER ADULT.”
(31) Most prized possession: His loved ones ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  And we’ve got at least six movies and a tv show telling us exactly how that did Not Go Well For Anyone
(33) Concept of home and family: Hmmm.  I’d say where he feels safe and comfortable.  Again, it’s stated in the show he feels at home at Padmé’s, but honestly?  He refuses to acknowledge Tatooine cuz ya know, the slavery, so he never really had a strong childhood home, and while I want to say he considered the Temple home at one point, , I’m not sure he does because I feel he’s always on red alert for things to get worse so he never really lets himself get comfortable anywhere-- not even Padmé’s.  Family is a bit easier for him; a group of people who love each other-- and for Anakin, it doesn’t have to be blood relations but if you ARE related by blood, you’re a family member by default and he will be Very Offended by blood relations who cut away from their families because he feels if you’re connected like that, you should love each other.

Random text HCs for the YOI Future!Verse ABO AU - Adults 02
Exactly as stated. Self-indulgent rambling headcanons around themes/questions on the five main charas of the YOI Future!Verse ABO AU. Most of this is generally assumed to be post living together, though not necessarily after everyone’s married.
(in other words, a text post bc did not have enough time to art it all oops)
New to the AU? Basics here, rest of the posts HERE.

Financial background/Money spending habits/Careers
No really, it sounds boring but it’s really important to having a functioning family so hear me out yeah?
Financial contributions of the adults to the family kind of go two ways here: People who bring in money from the outside, and people who do things that they otherwise would have had to spend a lot of money on, therefore saving a lot of money. Both are equally important.
Some of this info will be a bit redundant from other posts but I’ll put it here again so it’s as organized as it can get...
Yuuri - Comes from a lower middle class family that sometimes had to be careful with money (due to decreasing business in Hasetsu) and did struggle a little with Yuuri’s skating fees and sending him abroad. As a result, even though he’s never quite been poor, he’s very conscious about money and how even if you think you’re doing alright, sudden unpredictable factors out of your control can put you in a financial pinch. As someone who also grew up in an inn, he also puts immense value on doing proper house-keeping and absolutely refuses Victor’s suggestion that they hire a maid for their rather spacious house(s) (he grudgingly accepts Phichit’s cleaning assistant robots though).
He’s alright with spending a little extravagantly once in a rare while, but in general will look for bargains and other ways to save, and tries to be the voice of reason. Likes hoarding and puts a lot of sentimental value on objects and may insist on continuing to use them long after it is perhaps practical. Is a bit anxious about the kids’ futures and wants to have hefty savings so they’ll never be limited because of money. Doesn’t like when his husbands spend on things he feels are really unnecessary (especially when it happens frequently). That being said, he’s also very much a stress shopper and when his anxiety’s running high, he can spend more than even his mates (and sometimes but not always regrets it afterwards).
After retiring from professional figure skating he focuses mostly on the kids. It seemed natural, given that Yurio was entering the peak of his career and Victor needed to be at his side as his coach and Yuuri needed to recover from his pregnancy. Later, he’s technically coaching Minami full time, but given that Minami was living with him at home and also more or less spending all of his time and money on their family anyway, it gave him far more flexibility than coaching an outsider would have. After Minami retires, Yuuri continues to focus on the kids and is busy training them.
Yuuri was pretty convinced that his skating career was over the first time he became pregnant, but Phichit convinced (read: begged) him to guest in his ice show once it was started and Yuuri couldn’t turn him down. He took part in it seasonally for several years. The Nishigori triplets are also in charge of running the now annual Onsen on Ice Hasetsu Exhibition, where he’s also performed in lower stress environments, often doing ice dancing and other collaborative programs with his mates and later his kids.
Victor - Rich, and has always been rich. Has a ridiculous inheritance, considerable savings from his prime as a skater, and is also still making more than your average middle class income. Money’s not the thing he’s ever struggled with and he used to drown his loneliness in buying quality but empty-feeling material goods. Now he likes to spend a lot less on himself, but a LOT on his family. He gets that love =/= money, yet he also feels very strongly that those he cares about shouldn’t have anything but the best, and he can be pretty snobby about what he considers acceptable quality. Also feels that if it’s damaged/old, they should throw out the old and buy better new things, because again, nothing but the best.
He especially likes splurging on the kids and frequently gets into huge spats with Yuuri over buying them excessively expensive things when they’re younger because, “They’re children Victor! They don’t care if it’s plastic or swarovski crystals! And they’ll also grow out of those in a few months!” The family technically has a, “You do what you want with your own money, we try to split all the shared things/kids necessities” rule so Yuuri can’t exactly prevent Victor from buying things with his own money, but he can death glare and give him the silent shoulder for days...Money is probably the main thing Victor and Yuuri fight over given how strongly their opinions on it clash and how stubborn both can be, but usually the rest of the family can coax a resolution.
He considers his main job to be coaching his kids, but his reputation as the Living Legend has never faded, and given his success and fame with both Yuuri and Yurio, he still gets tons of requests from outside for coaching. He hasn’t accepted any full time coaching offers but occasionally teaches extremely expensive group and solo classes, often at the St. Petersburg rink when he’s in the country (where Georgi is now the main coach, having succeeded Yakov, long retired), but also at the Hasetsu Ice Castle, which he now owns. Nishigori and Yuuko are therefore technically his employees, and he pays them very generously.
Yurio - Grew up poor and heavily dependent on his grandfather and money was scarce even with the limited financial aid his mother threw their way. He considered himself a relatively money-conscious child who tried not to ask for too expensive things and preferred to just focus on working hard, but as an adult he appreciates so much more how his grandfather never left him wanting. He realizes now that paying for all of his skating training, boarding school education, and never skipping out on giving gifts and an allowance that let him buy whatever he wanted was probably a lot harder on his grandfather than he was aware of when he was younger, and possibly why his grandfather had lived so far from the city and in a pretty barren house with an old car. Yurio does his best to support his grandfather while he’s alive, although Kolya is as cheerful as ever and doesn’t seem to be particularly lacking in anything in Hasetsu, where he now lives with Yuuri’s parents, playing with the kids and taking daily soaks in the hot springs.
As a parent, he’s very much on Team Save Money with Yuuri. He agrees with Victor that buying quality things is good, and he wants the kids to have things that he never had. But at the same time, he also feels very strongly that his childhood wasn’t lacking in any way because he didn’t have anything brand-name, and if it’s all the same he’d prefer to buy used or bargain. In other words, if the kids are conscious of something and want it, sure they can buy, but if it’s just the parents’ whims wanting to buy it for them and the kids don’t care, they shouldn’t. As a figure skater with a career easily comparable to Victor’s, he could easily have supported his family even if he were the only husband, but he agrees with Yuuri that savings are important. Rarely actually starts fights over money himself but will stand solidly at Yuuri’s back as he rages at Victor.
While he was quite the money maker while an active figure skater, after retirement (which wasn’t until his mid 30s) he focuses on training the kids, specifically the one kid he decides he’s going to personally coach. He really wanted the close, personal coaching experience that he and Victor, Victor and Yuuri, and Yuuri and Minami had, and it seemed the right path for this particular child and Yurio’s experience. He also continues his side job as a model and has several clothing lines in his name, though most of those in his adulthood are much tamer than the first line he was given artistic control over in his late teens.
Phichit - Comes from a wealthy family that was able to give him expensive training and lessons in a country where figure skating is far less accessible than others. Was sent to study abroad at fancy boarding schools multiple times in his youth to both grant him better access to skating and to further his extremely advanced academic potential (as a result, he skipped grades and was a college freshman at 16 when he met Yuuri). Yet despite having always had the best of the best, he’s much more aware of money than Victor, and has also never used it as an emotional crutch like Victor either.
But at the same time, he also just genuinely loves splurging on his loved ones and has a very alarming habit of never caring about price tags. He likes buying nice brand things, but unlike Victor, he also likes buying weird, fun, and quirky things too regardless of price, all in a haphazard mish mash that makes it very hard to tell whether the gift he’s bringing home is reasonable or outrageous. He’s very much on Team Spend with Victor, but at the same time he’s empathetic to Yuuri and Yurio’s concerns and can usually spin some excuse why it’s a good idea. As such usually can avoid getting into fights with Yuuri on the same scale as Victor. If he’s around, tries to nudge Victor into choosing his words wisely, which Victor follows if he’s smart about it (he’s not always). Is usually the one to wisely point out that given the set up of their very unconventional family, they have five adults and therefore far more disposable income than most other families, plus they also have investments in multiple countries so one economic crash could never break them. Yuuri trusts him a lot more with money than Victor.
Despite Victor having the largest inheritance, Phichit’s the one actively making the most money from his multiple successful careers and it’s clear that he’ll be the richest by far in the long run. He has his super successful ice show in Bangkok and its sequel which he personally ran for years before leaving it to his successors. He also opened a skating school to give students in Thailand more opportunities to access figure skating. Outside of skating, he picked up acting while studying to create his ice show and while he doesn’t consider himself a full-time actor, he’s been in enough cult hits that he’s one of the more internationally recognizable Southeast Asian actors. Given his talent in connecting to his audience and his varied entertainment production training, he’s received a lot of requests to write and produce for platforms other than ice shows, especially in ways that showcase Thai, Southeast Asian in general, and even Asian in general talent on a more global stage, so that’s also something he dabbles in. He also accidentally and unintentionally created a social media platform which he meant to keep as a hobby/side-project, but it ended up appealing to more people than he thought and sort of blew up. He’s technically CEO but Leo and the Nishigori triplets run it more. His busy careers means that he tends to have to spend the most time away from family, and while money can’t replace his presence, it is something he can provide while across the globe. Whenever he comes back home he brings really extravagant gifts, and though Yuuri tries to stop him, he regularly drops enormous checks into Yuuri’s account “for the kids and you when I can’t be there.”
Minami - Comes from a relatively big name family with ties to the local medical industry, his parents both famous doctors, but is also the youngest son with an older brother so he doesn’t have any pressure to continue the family legacy. Had a fancy education (attended an Ivy League school in the U.S. during the 3 years between the end of canon and Yuuri’s first pregnancy) and access to the best training, but in the end he’s never been particularly ambitious outside of skating. He admits that if their family had been more conventional and he was Yuuri’s only husband, he’d have to go find a full-time job post retiring, perhaps related to skating, perhaps related to medicine which is considerably more lucrative and which he isn’t untalented in. As it is, there’s so many other adults working full time and bringing in a ton of money, so he doesn’t feel any particular guilt mostly focusing on the kids with Yuuri. He regularly goes to take specialty classes when he feels he could learn a skill or get certified in something that will be useful to their family, which is how he ends up with a teaching certificate and tutoring qualifications. While he doesn’t have a medical degree, he’s picked up a lot of things from his family and after Yuuri becomes pregnant the first time he studies prenatal care, especially the more specialized omega prenatal care pretty intensively, and arguably knows more than many general medical practitioners. While he’d never treat anything serious himself, he can provide sound advice and keeps a very close watch on Yuuri, plus they can go to his family for most things without worrying about medical fees. His knowledge and constant presence by Yuuri’s side gives the other mates tons of peace of mind.
Minami still contributes somewhat financially by occasionally tutoring people on the outside, but his primary focus is on Yuuri and the kids. Him waiving almost all medical fees is already a considerable contribution, but he also personally covers all of the kids’ academics when they’re not actively enrolled in school and can tutor them in all subjects. And that’s not even mentioning skating, he wasn’t Japan’s top skater for years and considered Yuuri’s successor for nothing. He was most of the kids’ first introductions to the ice. He also considered himself the full-time live-in babysitter long before he was officially married into the family, watching over the kids whenever he and Yuuri weren’t at the rink for his training. Yuuri and the others were so dependent on him looking after the kids that Yuuri tried to waive Minami’s coaching fees, as it seemed to him a perfectly reasonable exchange of services if not lacking on Yuuri’s part, but Minami very firmly refused. The one time Yuuri tried to refuse payment, Minami splurged extravagantly on the kids, more than Yuuri was due, so Yuuri quietly accepted the money so he could at least funnel it into useful things. Minami was smug, his point made.
Minami likes nice things well enough, but also considers himself very average and would prefer to buy ice cream over fancy brand name clothing any day, and a magazine clip out of Yuuri over any museum art piece. Given that there’s two adults on Team Save and two adults on Team Spend, when it’s a clear split and neither side is budging Minami tends to be the deal breaker. He can swing either way depending on the situation and can be trusted to always prioritize what’s best for the kids, even setting aside any personal bias to give Yuuri whatever he wants.

Hi! 💙🌹 Hope you're​ doing well. How's the power reading going? I hope it's not too boring. I once had to read my professor's book because he made it required for the course (kind of self promotion-y) 😐. Anyway, no I've not read the Cursed Child, but yikes...It sounds bad based on your description. I couldn't even get through the first chapter of My Immortal. 💀That's the goth, er uniquely written, fanfic, where the girl loves Draco, right? I haven't read much HP fanfiction though. (Pt 1).
I actually don’t think I’ve read any. No, I read one short one I think, but it was for a crack ship, so I’ll not mention it. ❤🗡 Anyway, yeah. I don’t really like the extra things JK is doing. I feel like the additional school is kind of pointless…I would prefer she just deepen the history of Hogwarts etc. or better yet, maybe just stop adding stuff? I like Harry Potter, so I don’t want it to become distorted. 😅 Probably an unpopular opinion. Idk. I had class today, it was boring. (Pt 2) I don’t know how your semester is going, but at this point (bc we’re almost finished) there’s a lot of wasted time. I hate wasting time. My professor only spent 25 minutes on salient content and wasted the rest. Also, he let people present late–I’ll stop.😥 I hope you and your puppy had a nice day. It’s almost time for the SuperCorp centric episode! I’m excited, especially after that sneak peek/extended trailer. Lena has to know imo. She’s made wayyyy to many Knowing comments/looks. 💙 (Part 3 Hmm, I would be a bit disappointed at this point if she didn’t know. She’s way to bright to not know. Do you think she knows? If Maggie figured it out, so should Lena. 😐 Hope you have a fabulous day and night. 💙🌹😊😄 (End) [Hmm, FMK (if you’re okay with fuck, mary, kill or french? Idk. Whatever you’re comfortable with: Kate Foster *cough* too hot, hot damn, Red K! Kara, she’d have a bit of a soft spot for you, Alex Danvers, before the DEO, so she’s more of a party girl/irresponsible). 😄
Hey!! 🌹  I haven’t started reading (shame) but I did write the article I had to for Monday and I’m pretty proud of that because I was really thinking I couldn’t do it, but then I sat down and wrote it in like two hours. My semester ends in june/july so we’re in the middle of it and starting to prepare for the big group project, and I only have two classes, so it’s kind of random for me, not really rushed or anything and I only have the cool classes without much to do, so I feel like I’m not really a student, it’s kind of like when you take like a language class after school. I hate wasting time but more in the sense of I don’t like when there isn’t class because a bunch of people decided to have a party or when the end of the class becomes a filler wasted hour because everyone decided to leave to go drinking. Since my classes are at night, this happens a lot, especially on Friday. Next month I’ll have morning classes on Saturdays, those are the worst.
My immortal is the greatest thing ever written because it’s the worst thing every written. Does that make sense? It’s ridiculous and hilarious and really really bad. So it’s amazing. It’s that thing that I think everyone should read to know what’s the worst thing someone could possibly write, it’s good to have that comparison. and when you write it’s good to have that in your head like ‘this is terrible, but at least it’s not My Immortal’ and then you keep that in mind to not do that, like you work as much as you can to not make another version of it. Yet it’s kind of brilliant because it’s so bad there are articles to this day, actual journalists, people who get paid to write and analyze stuff, debating if it was made on purpose to be the worst thing ever written and if the author is a character herself, or if it’s for real and the girl is just that brain damaged as to have a love triangle between her self-insert and Draco and Harry “Vampire” Potter and at the same time her self-insert with Draco and Satan/Voldemort who is not the same person as Tom Riddle. So it’s kind of epic.
I haven’t read many HP fics, although I did start my fic reading life with them, but I haven’t read anything since my first year of highschool so like 6 years I guess. I do like a good HP AU though. I also don’t like JK making all that shit. I would be happy with just what she was doing with Pottermore, developing the Hogwarts universe and shit. Like eventually release a book of the history of wizards and all, like George RR Martin with ‘A World of Ice and Fire’ she could have written some of the books that are mentioned as the Hogwarts reading throughout the series, or short stories of the Marauders adventures and even their kids adventures like Rick Riordan did with the Demigod Diaries. That would have been better than whatever it is she’s doing.
Lena has to know. Someone finds out, so I really think it’s Lena, there’s only Snapper and Lena to find out now, and Snapper knowing brings nothing to the story, and Lena has scenes at the DEO and with Kara and her trusty sidekick so it’s kind of logical if she does know, not to mention she’s brilliant and close with Kara and Supergirl, which is how Lois Lane finds out in all versions, she’s close with both personas and she just puts things together. Kara is Lena’s best friend (and only friend in the city since no one wants to get close to a Luthor, especially now) and Supergirl is always around saving her and giving her speeches and all shit, so it’d make sense if she knew. she is a genius after all, and she had that alien detector (I think that could come into play) and Kara is a terrible liar. Maggie knowing still rubs me the wrong way, to be honest, to me it reads a bit like an offense to the 79 years of Superman and Super mythology. The glasses aren’t dumb and the glasses are also not the reason why people don’t know, the show was trying to be a bit self-aware and funny and have Maggie be smart and a good detective, but to me the way they did it was wrong and bashing on what Jerry Shuster and Joe Siegel created. They could have made her joke about the glasses with Kara, tease her about it, but just tell Alex that she found out because of Alex’s relationship with Kara/Supergirl.
Lena is someone who could help a lot, the DEO and Kara, by knowing it. I think it could be good for their friendship if she knew, I feel like they both need that friendship, outside of their line of work (and family crap) but not too far from it. And her quips are too good for her not to know, let’s be real here. 
What are your thoughts on this?
She looks SOOOO GOOD in the trailer, I’m… ugh, I love her, she’s so pretty *cries*  also she’s wearing so much blue (in this trailer they are going to the conference and she’s wearing a blue jacket and in the photos of the conference she’s wearing a blue dress) that I’m a little offended no one made a parallel/comparison with her looks and Cat telling Kara to dive. just saying.
oh god, that fmk is hard because none of them are really my type, like personality wise, I’m not really into that whole wild aggression not caring for anything and anyone above feelings kind of thing they all have. I love Kate, like a plus congrats to her parents for making all that but I wouldn’t date her, so definitely fuck. Although we don’t really know much about Kate, so I could be wrong on that, but she’s too… intense in most of the ep so. Party girl! Alex has room for a redemption and getting better so maybe marry, unless I can take away the redK from Kara then it’s definitely Kara to marry. I’m not gonna say I’d kill Alex or Kara, so…. okay. FMK Morgana, Lena and Kate (take that)
Devil puppy and I hope you have a fantastic day or night 💙 (I don’t really have time to get emojis rn, sorry. heart and flower are copied from you *wink*)
