#like. sometimes people have a sense of humor that you can't pick up on. it doesn't mean you shouldn't state your point of view
Note
you don’t have to answer this ask but wow how are you supposed to be the bad guy fucking apologizing for reacting badly to being told to kill yourself?? i hate this website
well okay hold up i never said i was the bad guy. i said there were misunderstandings on both sides and that i was sorry for an issue in one part of how i handled it. just one.
#ask tag#not counting#like um. i do understand that maybe this person's sense of humor is way different then mine okay#but like. they said that they didn't mean it legitimately and once they saw it was haarmful they apologized#for me to say ''i am glad i understand your side of the story and you understand mine'' i am not saying i'm the bad guy#there's really no ''bad guy'' in this situation as i see it because the world is more nuanced then that y'know#like. sometimes people have a sense of humor that you can't pick up on. it doesn't mean you shouldn't state your point of view#and say ''that wasn't how i want people to talk to me and i also won't let you do that''#also the only part i really ''apologized'' for was that i used a term for them that was uncomfortable#i assume for gender reasons. and i understand where that comes from. if someone called me ''girl'' while arguing i wouldn't like it#whenever i said sorry after that i did my best to try and word it in a way like ''i am sorry this happened but it's not my fault''#like how when. idk. someone's grandma dies and you say ''sorry for your loss'' you're not saying that you killed their grandma#you're just saying that you feel bad that the thing happened but not that it's your fault#and yes. i do agree that the situation may have been fixed if they just said it was a joke but hindsight is 20/20 right?#anyways. that's my take on the situation.#and like. idk. if they apologized and told me how they saw it. i'm gonna believe them because i have had WAY more malicious people here#like idk. there have been anons who have said wayy worse and there's no discernable reason for why they would#like that one anon who told me that i should get my arms chopped off or something. idk. i deleted it before i could commit it to memory#and that was on purpose#but like. my point is. there's worse people. and if i focus all of my energy about being mad over a person who made one joke in bad taste#idk just seems like a waste of time#at least that's my perspective on the situation. never said i was the bad guy. just sorry it happened#also sorry it happened so late at night for me! i need an ibuprofen and a bagel now

PICK A CARD reading
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
How do other people see you?
Pile 1 -> Pile 2
Pile 3 -> Pile 4
Decks used: Dark Wood Tarot & Green Witch Oracle
TIPS | BOOK A READING WITH ME | PATREON | LINKTREE | SUGGEST A PAC TOPIC
Pile 1
Strength & Banana
Main Star sign energy: Leo & Cancer
Hi, Pile 1, Banana is the card of duality and so I think that it may be that people see you in very different ways, like you're not very consensual to the general public. The people you meet can't really decipher you, some perceive you to be incredibly nice, while others find you off-putting. However, with this card and Strength I also feel like people turn to you a lot for advice. People find you to be very wise, and most of all, impartial. They trust that you will see things from every perspective and offer the best advice you can. This also means that some people see you as a devil's advocate, because you insist on giving voice to different points of view.
In general, I think that people perceive you as being very outspoken, you don't shy away from conflict, but you don't go looking for it either. It's just that it naturally finds a way to you and you can't help but stand up for yourself and others. I also feel like other people find you to be a very calming presence, I think that it's mix of it just being your vibe, but also that they know that they can count on you to help solve any problem that might come up.
A bit random, but I think that you are known to make dirty jokes and also your sense of humor is very underrated, kind of deadpan and sometimes others can't tell if you're being serious or not.
Other people see you as being very confident in yourself, even if you don't feel like that. There's a sort of confidence that shines through you. Also, you are known as being very loyal to your friends.
Pile 2
6 of Cups & Lemon
Main Star sign energy: Gemini, Scorpio & Cancer
Pile 2 the first thing I'm getting with your group is that you have big Cancer energy. Being with you feels like coming home. I think that the people closest to you feel almost "mothered" by you, I mean this in the best way possible, they know that they can count on you to make them a nice cup of tea, pull out a blanket and hear out their problems. You have a very safe presence.
Some not so nice energy that is also coming through is that some people think that you're stuck in the past. This sentence is coming through very clearly like this to me, but I think that it will apply differently to each of you. It might be a bit literal, like you refuse to embrace new technologies for example or it could be more like you are frequently reminiscing about the good old days. I think that sometimes you are seen as being a bit sad, like filled with ennui if that makes sense. Despite that, I think that you are someone who remembers. You always know your friends birthdays and you remember the little details about their lives, and they appreciate this so so much.
With the lemon card I think that you are very talkative, but only when you feel comfortable. And the interesting thing is, when you get to the stage where you're really really comfortable you start to hold back less and less and you end up being a bit mean with your words. You're not trying to be mean, but they might sting a bit because you're brutally honest. Also, with lemon being the card of cleansing I think that your friends perceive you as being very good at cleaning. I mean this both in a literal sense (lol) and metaphorically. You're good at closing old chapters and cleaning out the old to bring in the new (with a twist too, because you always make space for the memories). You give me this vibe of it doesn't matter if it was good or bad, it matters that it happened.
Pile 3
Empress & Orange
Main Star sign energy: Virgo & Taurus
Pile 3 people see you as being full of life and energy. You are the life to her party, even if there isn't a party, you know how to cheer and pump up the people around you. I also think that people find you very charming and they love to hear you talk. In fact, I think that others love being around you and being around your energy, because it's just so big. Do you know that poem about the orange? In this metaphor you are the orange.
There's also this really interesting vibe that you are very sensual, it could be like sensual as in sexy, but like sensual as in using your senses. You love eating, you love listening to music, you love pretty things. I think that your friends and acquaintances even always ask you about restaurant recommendations and stuff like that. Also, other people love your style and your aesthetic. In fact, they really admire how cohesive you look.
Others also see you as someone who is incredibly creative and that is always filled with ideas. Honestly I think that most of you are either studying arts/design/etc or you work in those areas. You are known for your work. There's also this thing that if one of your friends has a problem they will come to you if they need an out of pocket solution. Like, you always have one. Your friends love your sense of humor, it's always so random and unpredictable. And I honestly think that you might be very popular on social media.
Pile 4
7 of Swords & Pea
Main Star signs energy: Pisces & Aquarius
Hey pile 4, you are the embodiment of chaotic energy. I don't think that anyone can pin you down, and when someone thinks that they have you figured out you immediately prove them wrong. This is big Aquarius energy honestly, not with the chaos, but with the fact that you see things in such a different manner that no one can predict what you are going to do or say next. I also think that you're the type of person to lie for fun (nothing serious of course, but just making up a whole different life to some stranger you'll never see again).
You are filled with ideas and people find you to be a good communicator. In particular I think that you're good with speaking and writing. There's also this vibe that your friends never know when to expect an answer to their texts, it could be immediately or three weeks later.
Your mind is very very busy, always buzzing with new ideas and scenarios and I think that sort of comes across to other people who think you are a bit scatterbrained. Also, people think that you are very smart. I am also getting this vibe that you have a sharp tongue, especially when it comes to social commentary. Sometimes you'll make a sarcastic comment about something around you, but not everyone will get it and those people find you a bit weird. You may get lost while telling a story, going on multiple tangents to explain your train of thought. And I also think that you get distracted easily. Some people find that a bit annoying, but your friends find it endearing.
There's this type of trickster energy here with the 7 of Swords so it might be that you are known for pulling pranks on your friends. Your presence is very fun, but sometimes a bit unsettling because again, no one knows what you're going to do next.

Astarion with gnome Tav HC?
Ok, we all know Astarion hates gnomes. And his facial expressions during the first date if you play Gnome Tav are priceless. Like, he doesn't smile and definetely does his best trying to hold back slurs.
I have been to his shoes coz I found gnomes weird and freaky. To write this Headcanon, I read manuals about them and got to this description:
It’s rare for a gnome to be hostile or malicious unless he or she has suffered a grievous injury. Gnomes know that most races don’t share their sense of humor, but they enjoy anyone’s company just as they enjoy everything else they set out to do. It’s rare for a gnome to be hostile or malicious unless he or she has suffered a grievous injury. Gnomes know that most races don’t share their sense of humor, but they enjoy anyone’s company just as they enjoy everything else they set out to do.
And then I googled gnomes.
Source
Tumblr media
Honestly, if you think gnomes are ugly - you've met the wrong gnomes!
Thanks @evillittlebirdie for the next concept
A gnome that hates elves and an elf that hates gnomes
Masterlist
Headcanons
Astarion x Gnome!Tav
You are tiny, only 3.2 ft.
All your life you spent far from "big folk", living deep in the woods.
But you were always warned against the elves, those arrogant pricks who think the world belongs to them.
Astarion… hates gnomes. It's not uncommon for elves to be weird about them but he has some personal issues.
Maybe it's his "brother's" fault, maybe some dating preferences.
"Dwarves are fine, but gnomes! Freaky and ugly."
You can't understand where this comes from.
Gnomes are peaceful. Kind. Never malicious to anyone. Always accepting strangers in their homes and caves. So why is your kind so hated?
You bicker but eventually you fall for Astarion's charms (and he suppresses his disgust to seduce you).
Maybe elves aren't that bad, after all.
And Astarion suddenly realizes he isn't averted by you.
Tiny. Yes. You are barely tall enough to reach up to his hips.
But you are cute. Beautiful, even.
Like a small elf.
Finally, Astarion confesses to you.
That he manipulated you. That he used you.
And what is worse, he hated the mere idea to touch you. As if you were some nasty creature.
Like a goblin.
He apologizes for that and is waiting for your verdict.
He expects you to yell. To curse him.
You do nothing of that. You approach Astarion and hug him.
Well, for him you are the most beautiful person in the world.
To kiss you, he has to kneel (or pick you up like a child)
You were embarrassed first to be carried around - besides, you are considered "tall" by gnome standards!
But you learn to like it. Your weight is 40 pounds and Astarion can carry you on his shoulders as long as you want
And, the hells, you enjoy it!
Firstly, because Astarion can go faster and longer if you don't slow him down, and, second, you can see the world around not being blocked by taller people.
When you go like that, you play with his curls and carefully touch his ears (it's impossible to resist when you are so close).
He loves your feather-like touches.
He still laughs at your height, though
"Oh, I am sorry I can't hear you from up here!"
"Apologies, darling, I thought someone was squeaking!"
And you wait for the opportunity to mock him for heing the tall one.
"Oh, I am sorry, I forgot I travel with a brainless giant!"
As a gnome, your desire to help is innate. It's just against your nature to deny someone's needs.
And more often than usual, Astarion has to carry you away before you agree on something too dangerous or too cheap.
"I am Astarion and this is my micro-wife. Ouch!"
When you stay together in taverns and inns, you don't have to pay for two beds - a single bed fits you both.
And Astarion always presses you to his chest - you drown in his arms. You feel safe and protected.
Sometimes, you hear mockery and evil laughs.
"An elf and a gnome, can you fucking believe it?"
You usually let these words go but Astarion doesn't.
He beats those who dare speak ill of you two and makes them kneel and beg for forgiveness.
Gnomes live long, up to 400 years. And you are young. As a gnome, you want a stable home (when you get tired of travels) and somewhere to stash things.
And you understand Astarion craves stability as well - so he will get it with you.
A comfy home in the woods among your kind.
Gnomes are accepting, after all.
Even if it's a vampire.

ranfren headcannons
I've done everything but posted headcannons and a fanfiction. This won't do. Here's some headcannons of mine! All of them aren't serious so don't take them that way d(>_・ ). Feel free to ask me about any other headcannons I'll definitely give more!
Randal
• if he has any pimples on his face he definitely picks at them untill they pop
• either is really good at math or sucks at math and hates it. (No in-between)(leaning towrds sucking at math more)
• has tear stains on his homework sometimes
• he bathes everyday dispite what people think. (Luther forces him too)
• his hair gets really oily. He has tried to cook with the oil his hair produced once. Nobody ate dinner that night.
• if he's frustrated and you go to poke him he'll scream on top of his lungs, but like the scream that goes from normal yelling to banshee screeching. "stop touCHING MEEEEĚĘƏƏ!!!!"
• gets in a lot of internet arguments about things that don't matter at all ("I think you'll find it's 'whom'.")
• he'd get so mad if he ask you to hold his glasses, and you proceed to carelessly get your fingerprints all over them.
• draws with those "how to draw anime" guid books.
• if he ever took a driving test, he would have already failed the moment he opens the car door.
• loves kraft mac and cheese, double points if it's in shapes of popular marketable characters.
• now thinking of it, if he was a pasta dish he would be kraft mac and cheese.
• bites his toe nails off (gross) Luther tried to get him to stop but he probably does the same thing when no one is around.
• sneezes weirdly. Like..."ah...ah...AH CHOOwoowoowoowoo..." and shakes his head. Or if he's covering it in his elbow it'll sound like a trumpet horn.
Luther
• he can dance but it's weird.
• if you tell him a joke he'll turn it into a life lesson.
• he wins every staring contest. However if your eyes start watering he'll get worried and start begging you to blink.
• treats women (and everyone) with so much respect, but he won't hesitate to punch a women if he really has to.
• *shakes his indext finger* "no no no"
• Randal probably tried to set him up on a blind date, he didn't like that. It was very awkward to say the least.
• genuinely gets happy when there are bagels at the function.
• when asked for advice, it'll sound like he's going to say something really meaningful and life changing, but then does a complete 180. "Oh, you think your ugly? Well people will have their opinions about you and ...well... you aren't the best thing to look at. But there's worst out there ♡."
• I can see him gobbling up some cheese and broccoli.
• has a walk in closet filled with clothes and accessories he doesn't wear.
• he 100% definitely has the goofiest giggle in the planet.
• eats ice cream with his front teeth.
Nyon
• I will stand by this till the day I die, he's really funny. He has a really good sense of humor. But I could also seem him not understanding jokes too. But at the same TIIIMMEE I feel like he'd be naturally funny.
• he knows lots of slang and pop culture due to watching TV a lot and probably quotes stuff in his head. (Maybe out loud if he was talking to you)
• has a lot of opinions, will never say them out loud, even when asked.
• he's the smartest out of everyone, including Luther.
• easily amused. please give him one of those little fishy nightlights. He'd enjoy looking at it so much.
• he's good at card games and Nyen doesn't like that. (Nyen has stabbed him over games of uno)
• has a really funny looking smile. (There's that one drawing in the Christmas comic where he's smiling weird after he saw Luther's reaction to the fire place tape he made for him)
Nyen
• listens to death metal but then listens to a jpop song right after. ("Can't let gang know I fw this")
• good at math, sucks at reading.
• loves hearing about drama and will be nosy.(come on man he loves Judge Judy and romance novels)
• sounds like Tom from Tom and Jerry when he yells.
• he calls himself "The Tom Cat" and (canonically) "Top of the pets in the house hold" which is practically the same as "I'm the alpha" so he's probably has said that.
• sucks at card games. Will legit end up with half of the pack of cards in his hands in the middle of an uno game.
• actually the weakest of them all. (I won't go into all that right now. But I can definitely beat him up in a fight, just sayin.)
•him and Nyon probably have times where they stay up and chit chat for a bit before they sleep, Example (from my old notes I had):
Nyon high on weed:...why do we call oranges..oranges...but we don't call apples...reds..??..
Nyen:....sh*t...you got a point... does that mean we would call lemons: short yellows and bananas: long yellows so it doesn't get confusing?...
*they then discuss this for an hour or so*
• Snores really really LOUD. Sounds like a car.
• oddly very ticklish I bet.
~~~~~~
That's all I have now. It's 2 in the morning and I'm falling asleep. I might write other characters headcannons later.
"I'm going to sleep" -bop it

hey!! saw you reblogging some of your butch bea stuff & just wanted to tell you that it lowkey changed my life and that if you ever want to revisit that universe you’d have at least one very avid & enthusiastic reader. there’s no pressure though — im grateful it exists at all!!
[i am going to be completely honest, i have no idea what this little prompt fill is but i love butch bea sm, it's soft & basically plotless. feeling so normal about her this pride month lol. also some lilith pov for the culture.]
//
not that you like people, but if you had to pick a favorite, under deep duress, beatrice would be at the top of your list. not that you would ever, ever tell her that, but, unfortunately, you're also pretty certain she knows. and, to your utter horror, you find that you have a reluctant soft spot for ava — you try to contribute it to beatrice being your sister, and therefore ava is basically your sibling-in-law, because they're not married yet but you watched beatrice say goodbye and you watched her grieve and you watched her fall in love, disgustingly, every second of every day, when ava returned. and, sure, ava is steadfast and faithful and far too brave and saved the world, twice, but, like. his relentless optimism and terrible sense of humor is too much sometimes.
but, you remind yourself when you get his text — he's your family too. someone who should have never forgiven you, you remember, like acid leaking in your stomach, but ava has always been too generous. and so you answer with an eye-roll emoji but also I'll be there in ten.
it's not the first day that ava has asked for help, and you're sure it won't be the last, but these days don't happen all that often anymore. you understand, though: your wings ache and sit heavy some nights when you can't sleep, and even if you fly over mountain ranges or tropical fjords or the flat, gorgeous planes of the savannah, deserts and oceans, the world — this admittedly beautiful earth, better than all the heavens — isn't quite enough to hold your sorrow. or, maybe it holds it along with you, and you can't quite put it down.
so you diligently mask your scales with jillian's annoying but very useful tech, and you put on an outfit that nun-you would have deemed inappropriate and nun-beatrice would have blushed furiously at, and teleport from your favorite room, tucked away in the middle of nowhere on a tiny island off the coast of iceland to beatrice and ava's sunny, big house on the beach. it's cool today, though, the day covered in a marine layer that's lingered for months. beatrice looks surprised when you show up in their kitchen, where she's staring off into space while, apparently, very slowly unloading the dishwasher. ava says hello from the living room, where you assume they're on the couch with korra by their side.
'hello, lilith.'
you pop a fresh grape into your mouth from the bowl sitting there in lieu of greeting.
'those are for ava,' beatrice says, and her hands shake and you can tell from the set of her shoulders that ava was right, that the world stings in your palms and up your spine, and sometimes you just need someone to see you through it until it calms.
'he can share,' you say, eat another one and swipe the bowl with beatrice scowling after you as you walk into the living room. ava is, unexpectedly, watching some reality tv drivel — so what if you're caught up on all ten seasons of vanderpump rules, it reminds you of hell if anyone asks — but she smiles sincerely when you hand her the bowl, one you're pretty certain beatrice had sculpted and glazed with her own hands.
'i can share a few,' ava says, and you don't bother to stop yourself from scratching korra's head in greeting when ava nods. you can admit that korra is awesome; she has loyalty to ava but at least you can understand that one. she's wearing a hoodie you know is beatrice's favorite, so it's ava's favorite too, and a beanie; ava hadn't mentioned it, but you know on really bad days her body has trouble regulating its internal temperature too — and if the pile of blankets at the foot of the couch is anything to go by, you're guessing that's happening too.
'you've looked better.'
ava rolls her eyes and beatrice flicks you on the back of the head. 'so have you,' ava says, but you look hot and so you know by that lackluster insult she really is in a good deal of pain.
'ava's back is bad today,' beatrice says, as if that wasn't completely obvious from the way ava has a heating pad and special pillow and is propped up on the couch with korra attentively lying next to her, ready to get anything or alert if she needs to.
'lots of hand spasms,' ava says, 'which are the worst, who knew?'
the only reason you refrain from making a dirty joke is because you'd never want them to think you have ever, for one moment, thought about their sex life. 'well, i'm taking beatrice for a bit,' you say, which is just what ava asked for, 'so maybe some heavier duty pain meds and a nap? we can bring you a late lunch.'
you feel beatrice stiffen behind you. 'i need to be here today,' she says, clipped and anxious. 'what if ava —'
'what if i what, bea?' ava says, without any malice, but with a glint in her eye that even you know to be careful of. 'i just need to sleep today and watch some stupid tv. we can go through all my rehab exercises in the evening again, like we always do.'
beatrice's jaw is clenched, and she bites her bottom lip.
'bea,' ava says, and reaches for her hand, and, not for the first time at all, do you feel a little out of place. lonely, and sad, and aching: they are in love, however much it annoys you. there's a care there that you're fairly certain you will never have, and never be able to give.
'a few hours, beatrice,' you say. 'that's all.'
ava had texted that beatrice had been losing track of time and tasks all morning, which is a sign you'd all started to understand as a bad ptsd day, not infrequently leading to a panic attack or a flashback if she's left to her own devices. usually, they won't have bad days at the same time, some divine knowledge of something, but today the stars hadn't lined up.
but beatrice sighs and then nods: she knows herself, knows when her brain is misfiring or misaligned, when things aren't quite as real as they should be. ava's hands are in painful, involuntary fists and so it's up to you today, to hold beatrice's through it.
'great, now that that's settled,' you say, when she offers nothing else. you take her wrist and, just for fun, teleport her right into the middle of the ocean, until she's spluttering and yelling but then, blessedly, lets out a laugh. you teleport her right back to her shower and even ava is grinning from inside. 'get ready,' you tell her, throw a towel at her from the neat stack in their patio bin. 'see you in fifteen.'
'don't have too much fun catching up on vanderpump rules without me,' she says, color back in her cheeks and a clarity seeping into her eyes.
'i hate that show.'
'sure,' she says, dismissing you with a wave of her hand, and, fine, you do join ava on the couch, but it's only because he's high and divulges, eagerly, beatrice's latest cooking mishap. beatrice comes in from their bedroom a few minutes later, looking a little steadier still, in soft, tailored pants and an oversized t-shirt, tucked in precisely. she's put contacts in and has sunglasses slipped into the collar of her shirt, a thick, fancy watch on her wrist. ava, even in a lot of pain, looks like they might start drooling. 'great.' you fling a pair of pristine birkenstocks at beatrice, who catches them with a scowl, 'you look fine to be in public. let's go.'
'bye, baby,' ava says, frustratingly unfazed by you. beatrice smiles, gently, her eyes clear for the moment when all she has to focus on is ava, and kisses her forehead, gently cups her jaw in her hand. 'love you, have fun.'
'i love you too,' beatrice says.
'no fun,' you say, and ava's still laughing as you touch beatrice's elbow and teleport on your way.
/
'this is my sister, lilith,' beatrice introduces, and, like, whatever, your heart swells in your chest and you feel warm and kind. you sink into it — only for a moment.
'nice to meet you,' beatrice's barber says, offering her hand with a genuine, easy smile, not batting an eye that you and beatrice look absolutely nothing alike; you feel warm and kind again when you think about beatrice talking about you as her sister to people you've never met, that you matter to her enough to mention. 'i'm xavi.'
'xavi, cool.'
beatrice sits down in the chair, comfortable and present, even though her hands still shake, but it's clear that this is a space she's always been made to feel safe. somewhere she's always been made to feel seen, which you realized, over the past few years, she had never had, despite how much you had — and still do — still love her.
'same thing, bea?' xavi asks.
bea nods. 'you can take the skin fade up a little higher, i think. it just grows so fast.'
xavi nods. 'sounds good.'
and it's not like you don't spend a fair amount of your time with beatrice and ava, because they live somewhere beautiful and it brings you deep joy to annoy them, and, like, drag brunches and queer bars are admittedly very fun, but to see your sister just be is kind of moving. and maybe she realizes that too, that it's special you're here, that it's special you're allowed to be here, in this space that is very much hers, the quiet hum of the clippers in the background, while she chats with her barber about the latest ridiculous episodes of love island — which, yes, you have watched; yes, you do participate in the conversation after beatrice includes you immediately, because you're only so strong and it's always been a summer tradition of yours to watch nightly — and they laugh together. you laugh too, and then all of a sudden beatrice is crying, and xavi turns the clippers off carefully. beatrice snakes a hand out from under her cape and tries to wipe her eyes.
'i apologize,' she says, really trying to get it under control. 'i — sorry.'
'she's having a weird day,' you offer, and beatrice nods with a sniffle. you don't bother to explain further — that's beatrice's to tell, if she ever wants to — but it seems to calm beatrice a little bit.
'sorry,' she says again. 'i — i'm just happy to be here,' she says, adds a quiet, 'as i am,' and xavi just squeezes her shoulder.
'i'm happy about that too.'
beatrice lets out a big breath and steadies herself; you feel relieved too that you won't have to deal with a panic attack in the middle of a barber shop while beatrice's hair isn't nearly faded properly. 'i never cry.'
you roll your eyes. 'if by "never" you mean five to ten times a week...'
beatrice shoots you a glare through the mirror and you just grin, all teeth.
xavi laughs a little and turns the clippers back on. 'it's okay,' she says. 'you're secret's safe with me.'
/
admittedly, beatrice's hair does look great, a clean fade and a little messy pomade on top, but you've already complimented her on this haircut twice so you're certainly not doing that again. you walk with her along the street her barbershop is on, that she knows well and it hits you quietly that you know it well too. you don't have a home — you haven't had a home in a while — but this might come close.
years ago, before the war, before all of it, on a bad day the two of you would go at it for hours sparring, blood on your knuckles and along your teeth and once mother superion had been irate when you got such a good shot in beatrice's eye was swollen shut for days — but there is no war anymore. there are small battles, but beatrice hasn't fought since she got hurt; even though she's better now, with a sturdy rod down her femur and scars that don't seem to bother her much down her abdomen, you think, unofficially, that she's not ever going to fight again.
you don't have the same fate, you know, but for today you look beautiful in an easy bright blue shift dress and sunglasses, your hair dark and long, and beatrice's hands have stopped shaking.
'sushi?' you ask, a reach, maybe, but when she smiles you know you were right.
it makes you realize, too, when you sit down at a restaurant you've come to so many times with her — and ava, too — that you know the server, who greets you both by name and brings you shishito peppers and spicy edamame without you even having to order. beatrice relaxes in her chair after a second on the patio, lets out another deep breath.
'all right?'
she takes her sunglasses off and nods. 'thank you.'
you shake your head. 'you're my sister.'
you mean it: i have not forgotten who you are; i have not forgotten who i am. you mean it: i love you. even if the words get stuck in your chest, even if you can't quite say them — you mean it.
'plus,' you say, 'you're paying, and i'm ordering the best sake on the menu.'
she laughs, bright and easy, and shrugs. 'you know the catholic church and my horrible parents are footing the bill anyway. we should order whatever we want.'
you remember when you were nineteen and beatrice was brand new to the ocs, how much you felt frustrated by her, deeply: she was earnest, and so serious, and very hurt, but kind in a way you never could be. the pressure sat heavy on both of your shoulders, but she held it with grace. 'could you have imagined this life when we first met?'
she seems as surprised by your question as you are that you even asked it, but her smile is easy and she runs a hand along her buzzed hair with a laugh. 'i think i would have had a heart attack if anyone had told me even a sliver of what my life is now.'
you wait a beat but then you do laugh, because it's true. your server brings you your sake and some sashimi you'd ordered, along with some scallops that are your favorite. ava sends a text in the group chat the three of your have — which you refuse to really participate in, but fine — saying that she's doing fine, that she had to take a fever reducer but korra's been on top of anything she needed to get so ava hasn't had to try to get up, that the protein smoothie beatrice had made her had been fine and she's just going to try to sleep some more. it makes beatrice relax even more, palpably, and you understand, in some way.
'you've retired, haven't you?'
she calmly swallows her tuna and then puts down her chopsticks. 'fighting? yes.'
it's simple and it's big and it's quiet. you knew already.
'but i'll be around. you know i enjoy research, archival, collaborations with jillian. i'm not — this will always be part of my life.' it's unspoken too: you will always be part of my life. and you know she means it.
'good,' you say, and for the first time in longer than you can really remember it feels like you're able to offer a benediction.
her eyes are soft as the clouds burn off, finally, as the afternoon turns warm. 'i — i want to live a long life.'
you can't say anything, but you can nod. you want that too — for her, for all of you. 'plus,' you say, 'ava was even worse than normal when you got blown up.'
she rolls her eyes, as glad for the levity as you are. you drink more sake and order more sushi and laugh as you watch people walk by on the street and beatrice offers — delightfully and playfully kind of mean — commentary about some of them. she's been your person for a long time, you remember, her gentleness despite bullets and arrows and bombs, despite holy wars, despite knuckles — yours, or hers, or both — split open to the bone. beatrice holds her chopsticks easily, steadily, and the scars on the tops of her hands shine white in the sun, but they've faded. you can only see them if you know where to look.

fatgum boyfriend/affection headcanons
He's a real sweetheart and he's very open about both his intentions and his affections. If he likes you, he's going to show it! One of his love languages is gift giving: it always seems like he has a little something to share with you. It varies from something as little as a candy in his pocket to something he saw you admire absently on a walk. He likes to share whatever good things happen to him with you!
Likes to hold hands with you a lot and loves how his big hand envelops yours. Does a little swing when you guys walk together even during the times when he's on patrol. The only time he gets really shy is asking for a kiss goodbye-- he's gotta have it, otherwise the day just won't go right!
Bear hugs you ALL the time. One of his favorite things in the world is to just pick you up, swing you around a little bit, and just squeeze you. Sometimes you'll just be doing something unrelated and he can't help but go and give you a quick squeeze to recharge.
Sorry everybody but if you prefer thin Fatgum, the relationship is NOT going to work. He likes himself fat! That's him at his best, at his peak, and he won't compromise himself for anyone else. When he's thin, it's a sign of him struggling or that he's just had a completely harrowing time. Love him big or move along 😤
Being as all around big as he is (8 foot 3-- his ass is NOT fitting in a prius), he prefers outdoor dates. Walks in the park, street fairs, things like that. ESPECIALLY in his hometown, since he's friends with absolutely everyone, you're going to get adopted by approximately 78 different aunties and uncles running restaurants, stalls, and corner shops. Congratulations, there's no way you're walking anywhere without getting some kind of produce to take home.
He's got a great sense of humor and one of the most attractive things to him is someone who knows how to laugh, and how to make him laugh. The way to his heart is to lift his up! He can't help reaching out to shy or gloomy people either, since he likes to make them smile and happy as well. Sometimes a shy smile is all it takes to make his day, so don't be discouraged!
He likes to tease more than that innocent smile of his lets on. No more than you or anyone can take, but he really likes it if you get flustered or playfully bat at him to cut it out!! "I can't help it if you give me that look!" He grins and nuzzles his face to yours.
Guy who can must and will fall asleep immediately if you play with his hair. It's very soft, so you should do this anyways or you're missing out. He also loves to let you nap on his stomach, or lay on his back while he works out doing push-ups and stuff. He's fucking STRONG, man.
Popular with kids and loves 'em. If you have any younger family members he is going to juggle them in the air with ease (and everyone's permission) and just delight in how much they giggle and laugh. Could very easily just spend a whole day just like this.
While he's a gentle giant, he's not above literally throwing his weight around to get you places. Fataxi privileges, you're going to have the best view at any music festival...though everyone else hates your guts LOL. let them be mad.

With the last two episodes out, I can finally update miss Seraphina, my next gen kid for Ozzie and Fizz. I always knew I would update her once we got more info on the pair, and boy did we get a lot of golden stuff to work with.🧡
So here is the daughter of lust, the charming and gorgeous Seraphina. Unlike Stolas and Blitzo, Fizz and Ozzie hired a surrogate to have her, with that ending up being a goetia upper-crust woman named Femi, a phoenix based demon who had done many business deals with Ozzie before hand. Though Seraphina was entirely raised by her two papas, with Femi being a mentor figure sometimes here and there. The moment she was born, she had both her parents wrapped around her finger, their little princess of hell.
She has a lot of Ozzie's sense of humor, even the invasive ones here and there. She's also quite the bushiness woman like him too, often running many of his clubs and locations, and has started up her own modeling business too, having a diverse set of hires that work under her. She also has Fizz's performance side, always needing to flashy, drawing people's attention, and does a lot of singing at Ozzie's locations. While she is known to get into people's businesses, even if they don't want it, she does come from a good place at the end of the day. She often just wants to help people, even if it requires her being blunt, and isn't afraid to stick her nose into problems she thinks she can solve.
She is also fiercely protective of those she cares for, or for the little guys who can't stand up for themselves. Growing up you can imagine she had to deal with a lot of harassment, being the daughter of lust and the clown who went through a lot for the public. Now that she's older, she will happily deal with creeps anyway possible, and will not hesitate to pick them up and throw them out of the building. Lord forbid you do something to her models or friends like Ruby and Rogue, and you won't live by the end of the day.
She also has this rivalry, negative dynamic with Celeste. The two are often spiteful towards each other, but there is an underline tone of frustration with one another, as if they struggle to understand each other. Doesn't help that they are exes, and the bitter history there has never been too clear to outsiders on what exactly happened. Perhaps a bit of history repeating itself among these ladies.

Creepypasta Headcanons!
(Jeffery Woods, Eyeless Jack, Toby Rogers.)
Tumblr media
Starting off with our crispy himself!
Jeffery Woods:
I actually believe he'd be moderately okay with self care (with the exception of showering, because he's gross 🧍)
Like, he def keeps different kinds of lotions to help hydrate his burn scars (I'm projecting ikik) and has a variety of different scents.
I actually think he doesn't have a strict preference for what kind of music he listens to, but tends to listen to heavy metal or older emo music.
Def listens to ICP. You can't change my mind.
I actually heavily headcanon him as someone that'll pick at his skin, specifically the skin on his fingers/hands. It's a bad habit that he has tried (and failed) to shake off.
Drinks monster/energy drinks like its WATER.
He's the type of guy to point at someone's concert shirt and ask them to name 3-5 songs
Tumblr media
Eyeless Jack:
Out of any of the pastas, I believe he'd be the best when it comes to self care-- Considering the idea of him originally wanting to be a surgeon.
Carries hand sanitizer with him EVERYWHERE.
I believe he has a habit of over washing his hands and is constantly using hand sanitizer.
He has sensitive hearing from his heightened senses, so I believe he'd keep earplugs on him 24/7
Tried to prepare organs like someone would a sandwich, he regretted that.
The type of guy that doesn't pick up on humor. You quote something online around this guy and he'll just take it as you being dead serious.
Tried to eat human food so he could feel "normal" again, but it made him sick. Still tries it every now and then, but it can result in him just curled up on the floor. Think of how some people that are lactose intolerant will still eat dairy (you know who you are 🙄)
In some med schools, it's actually preferred to know a second language (that could also just be where I live, so 🚶) and I actually believe he knows bits of Spanish.
Parts of his life before the sacrifice is actually a major blur for him, it's like looking through a fog for him.
Hates the smell of mint.
I feel like he mainly uses echolocation. Or if he could "see" anything, it would probably be like seeing the temperature of something
Example:
Tumblr media
Bro constantly cold. It could be the middle of July and he'd probably be LAYERED up. Long sleeves, hoodies, etc.
Tumblr media
Toby Rodgers:
Chews. His fingers, the scar on his cheek, dead skin on his lips, he just chews.
Unironically wears socks and sandals
Due to high levels of stress, I like to think he'd have white steaks/patches in his hair. :]
Tried to give himself a piercing once, it didn't work out. It scarred.
Either Midwest emo or grunge, you can't change my mind!
Has listened to the front bottoms (father...) and the mountain goats.
Listens to Nirvana sometimes. 👏
Due to his trauma, he prefers to not drive or ride in the passenger seat. He either forces himself to sleep or zones out SOOOO hard.
Since he can't go get his hair cut professionally for obvious reasons, some of his hair is uneven since he doesn't know how to cut it properly.
Toby doesn't like sweetened coffee, he either drinks it black or eats instant coffee because "it works faster"
He regretted this.
Tumblr media
Got my first ACTUAL post down! Hope you guys like it! Tried to keep it lighthearted since it's a starter. I take requests btw. :]

hi Vivian! I've been meaning to ask about reading dungeon meshi for a while but I've been super low on things to read for a bit now so I want to take the plunge! I wanted to ask, are there any "caveats" you have about recommending it? I know sometimes people will love a thing but actually not recommend it to others lol. I don't think this is one of those situations but I wanted to check :) Or if there's anything like "the first couple chapters are slow but then it picks up" you know. Also do you have suggestions for a good place to read it?
You've just activated an unskippable cutscene. *rubs hands together gleefully*
For those not aware (if you follow me you're probably aware... but just in case), Dungeon Meshi is a fantasy comedy manga by author Ryoko Kui about a group of adventurers who have to cook and eat monsters to survive in a dungeon. It's a seinen, meaning it's targeted more towards adults, which really shows in a lot of its plot beats and humor- like how the party nearly disbands because Laios (the party leader) can't afford to pay everyone upfront, etc. It's also not entirely accurate to call it a comedy, really, it's an action/adventure series that focuses on comedy, oftentimes dark humor. Which brings me to your question!
I don't have any big caveats for recommending Dungeon Meshi, I think it's a series just about anyone can pick up and get enjoyment out of! But there are some things I think are worth warning about, since the story actually gets pretty serious later on, and explores some potentially triggering themes.
Here's some content warnings for dunmeshi I can provide just off the top of my head (that shouldn't spoil anything on their own); Body horror, eye trauma/eye injuries, asphyxiation, cannibalism, blood, some gore, unsettling imagery, uhh general warning for? psychological themes (idk how to word this or even warn for this without spoiling though) and mentions of child abuse.
There's probably more that I'm forgetting, but despite its reputation for being silly, dungeon meshi gets pretty damn dark at times!! All the same, it is, to its core, built upon the humor- even in the tensest, most dramatic chapters, there's always something to lighten the mood, something to make you smile. It's kind of surprising, really, how masterfully Ryoko Kui finds this balance of drama vs. humor. No one illustrates this dichotomy better than Laios...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(least spoiler-y image I could find)
As for slow starts... I suppose it depends on what you're hoping to see in dungeon meshi! If you're excited about izutsumi (the catgirl), she doesn't show up until much later on in the manga. There's some other popular characters that don't show up for a while, either. Also, I just re-read the first chapter before answering this ask- the start is a bit slow, i.e. everything seems low stakes at first, but I think that's only to dungeon meshi's benefit tbh. I kinda dislike when series will show their hand way too soon. I think the premise and presentation of dungeon meshi is strong enough on its own, although the early art style is really unrefined and messy compared to the modern chapters. The art gets so much better as time goes on! As do the characterizations... You really get the sense that their personalities weren't entirely figured out yet in chapter 1. I think that's fine, though, the roots are all there.
All this being said... I'm gonna be honest with you, I've never actually re-read dungeon meshi from my initial read of it! and I've been keeping up for each new chapter since, like, 2018, which is crazy to think about... I really ought to do a re-read sometime, it'll give me a fresh perspective I'm sure. truthfully I just struggle to read things, which is the only reason I haven't reread it like 10 times. I still love it to bits anyway. I hope that this answer is enlightening regardless, and- oh! also! you can read dungeon meshi on Mangadex, though I recommend buying it physically if they sell it where you live :-)!!
Anyhow thank you for indulging me, i love talking about dungeon meshi & introducing new people to the series! i hope you enjoy it!!!

sanpe and professor!childhoodbsf!wife!reader being polar opposites and them hiding their relationship from everyone in hogwarts (because who doesn't love the secret/hidden romance??)
I love this sm! Thank you for the request c:
Tumblr media
Genre: fluff
Warnings: none
Masterlist
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
"Sev, would you like to come outside with me? The weather is lovely!" you said brightly to your husband, who was sitting on the bed reading a book.
"No. I hate the outdoors," Severus mumbled, his eyebrows creasing in concentration as he continued to read.
You frowned, crawling into bed and laying your head on his lap. You gently pried the book out of his hands and Severus stared down at you, his lip curling.
"Come on, prince. It's nice and sunny outside! We can go scavenge for potion ingredients." You poked Severus's cheeks and he made a sound of protest.
"I'd love to, but students will see us together. I can't have the dunderheads knowing about us. They'll most likely make fun of me and then proceed to harass you for answers about our relationship," Severus sighed, raising your hand to his lips. He delicately pressed his lips to the top of your hand and you giggled.
"You do have a point. You still need to go outside sometimes, though. Fresh air is good for you," you pointed out to him.
Severus frowned deeply and you kissed his frown, smiling at him. "Come on, babe. You know it's true."
"You're only saying that because you teach the dunderheads how to fly. You're outside all the time," Severus retorted.
Severus did have a point; you were the Flying Instructor at Hogwarts and loved Quidditch, both watching it and playing it. The only reason Severus tolerated the sport was because of you, and you often coaxed him into taking a ride on a broom around the grounds after hours (just because you thought his butt looked cute sitting on a broom).
"Fine, you're right," you sighed, sitting up and laying your head on Severus's chest. "Can we do something else together, though?"
"What exactly do you have in mind?" Severus replied, lazily flipping through the pages of his book.
"Wanna fuck?" you blurted.
Severus playfully glared at you and you laughed. You've always been like this; you had a very inappropriate sense of humor and often blurted things without thinking.
You and Severus first met at Hogwarts and have been best friends ever since then. Compared to Severus's quiet, reserved demeanor, you were loud and often joked around.
Severus couldn't stand people like you until he met you, and his whole world changed.
You were aleays so kind and gentle with him, and Severus had fallen for you when you were both in your second year.
You fell for him soon after that and the two of you started dating in your fourth year; you and Severus were soulmates, to say the least.
"Fine, if you don't want to fuck, we can go for a stroll around the castle," you suggested, and Severus raised his eyebrows at you.
"If we don't hold hands, we'll be fine. No one will suspect anything if we're just walking around together like coworkers," you reassured him, pecking his lips.
"Alright, we can do that." Severus placed a bookmark in his book and placed the book to the side, pulling you into his arms. He picked you up, carrying you out of bed.
You laughed and held onto him, being carried all the way out of your shared rooms in the dungeons. He set you down once the two of you entered the main corridor.
It was the weekend, so students were either in Hogsmeade or relaxing outside on the grounds. You took the absence of students as an opportunity to hold Severus's hand, holding it tightly as you and him walked down the corridor.
"We should go up to the Astronomy Tower and watch the clouds, and then we can go to the library and pick out books for each other! Ooo, and then we can go see the new creatures that Hagrid has!!" you rambled enthustically.
Severus watched you with a soft smile, amazed by how energetic and eager you were all the time. He thought that it was one of the cutest things about you.
"We can do whatever you want, sweetheart. As long as I'm with you, I'm happy." Severus leaned over to press a sweet kiss to your cheek, humming contently.
Unbeknownst to both you and Severus, Fred and George Weasley were coming around the corner, guffawing over the prank they had just pulled on Filch.
"Did you see the look on his face? Ugly git-" George stopped talking at once when he saw you and Severus standing at the end of the corridor, your lips locked with his.
"What are you-" Fred began to ask his twin when he noticed his mortified expression. He followed George's line of sight and gasped, doing a double take.
"Snape is with her!?" Fred asked incredulously. George mimicked vomiting noises and laughed.
"He must have given her a Love Potion. There's no way she would willingly be with him," George remarked as he watched you pull Severus closer by the front of his robes.
"I think I might actually vomit," Fred murmured. George nodded in agreement and grabbed his twin by the arm, pulling him into another corridor.
"I can't believe we just saw them snogging in the middle of the corridor! We have to tell Lee about this," George whispered excitedly.
Fred peeked around the corner and saw that you and Severus had stopped kissing. You raised your hand to brush your hair out of your eyes and sunlight reflected off of your wedding band, the bright light momentarily blinding Fred as he stared.
"They've been hiding their relationship for a while. She has a wedding band," Fred snickered, rubbing his hands together. "Come on, let's go tell Lee."
The twins ran off just in time, as you and Severus were now walking towards the corridor they had departed from.
"You're lovely, you know that?" Severus said to you as he stopped walking again, cupping your face to kiss you.
You blushed, kissing him back as you spoke, "Thank you, baby, but if we keep stopping we'll never make it to the Astronomy Tower."
Severus pulled away reluctantly and nodded, walking with you to the Astronomy Tower. You were panting by the time you reached the top and leaned against Severus for support.
"I forgot how many staircases you have to climb to get up here," you wheezed as you and Severus laid down on the cool, stone floor, gazing up at the clouds.
Severus shifted uncomfortably where he laid, his back aching from the hard stone. He sat up, removing his cloak.
He hesitated before laying the cloak down on the floor, patting the spot next to him as he laid back down on the cloak.
You grinned and snuggled him, draping your leg over his thigh. "Remember when we used to cuddle like this as teenagers?"
"Of course I remember. You'd try getting us in trouble by attempting to sneak us up here past curfew," Severus snorted out a laugh, shaking his head. "You're a mischievous girl."
"But you like my mischievous side," you smirked, slowly running a hand up and down Severus's chest. "Especially last night."
"Y/N," Severus warned, color blossoming onto his cheeks.
"You know it's true," you chuckled, sliding on top of him and straddling his lap.
Severus slid his hands up your waist, biting his lip. He loved seeing you on top of him like this.
"Fine, it is true," Severus admitted, pulling you close to plant a kiss to your forehead. "I love you so much."
"I love you more, Sev."
"I love you more, Y/N."
You playfully smacked his chest and laughed. "Stop it, I love you more."
You and Severus went back and forth like this for a while, all while Fred, George, and Lee watched and listened from nearby. The twins had used the marauder's map to track the both of you down.
"Bloody hell, she's sitting on his lap. I think I'm gonna be sick," Lee groaned, pressing a hand to his stomach.
"If you're going to throw up, do it over there. These are my favorite shoes," Fred said to Lee, nudging him slightly.
"How mad do you guys think Snape will get if we tell everyone about him and Madam Y/L/N?" George asked Fred and Lee, who were clutching their sides from laughing at the sight of you and Severus cuddling.
"He'll go ballistic, but we're used to him acting like that, so who cares? You only live once, after all," Fred shrugged. "If he puts us in detention, we can always sneak out. We've done it so many times already."
George considered his brother's words for a moment before nodding. "Let's do it."
Fred, George, and Lee rushed down the stairs of the Astronomy Tower, laughing raucously amongst themselves.
"Did you hear that?" you asked Severus breathlessly as he kissed at your neck.
"Hear what?" Severus mumbled, sliding his hand underneath your robes to grab your thighs.
"I thought I heard someone laughing," you said, looking around nervously. "They sounded an awfully lot like the Weasley twins."
"I didn't hear anything, angel. If the Weasley twins were here, I would've launched them off the tower by now. They better not be spying on us," Severus said, his fingers grazing the waistband of your underwear.
"Yeah," you said softly, becoming distracted as Severus pressed more heated kisses to your neck, and you moaned loudly, your voice echoing across the tower.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the stairs, Fred, George, and Lee were telling everyone who passed by about how "Professor Snape and Madam Y/L/N were snogging in the corridor and they're also married."
By the time you and Severus finished your little rendezvous at the top of the tower, it seemed like everybody and their mother knew about your relationship.
Everyone gave you and Severus strange looks as the two of you reached the ground floor, and you raised your eyebrows in confusion.
"Sev..." you whispered, tugging on his sleeve. "They won't stop staring."
"Stop staring at us," Severus snapped at the students in the corridor, and George laughed.
"Secret's out, Professor. Sorry to break it to you," he said, running away before Severus could smack him upside the head.
George's words dawned on you and you quickly realized what secret he was referring to, slapping your hand to your mouth and gasping.
Of course it was the Weasley twins who told everyone. You should've seen this coming.
"Well, at least we kept our relationship a secret for several years," you nervously laughed to Severus, who was livid.
"The Weasley twins will be in detention for several years once I get my hands on them," Severus fumed, his eyebrows furrowed together in anger.
You giggled and Severus turned to glare at you. "What's so funny, Y/N? This isn't a laughing matter whatsoever."
"You're just so damn cute when you're angry. Everything you do is so cute," you beamed, and Severus's expression softened momentarily.
"You're lucky I love you, or I would've put you into detention too," he teased, kissing your forehead. Students standing nearby gagged at the sight and Severus turned to them and barked, "Go to your dormitories! All of you!"
The students begrudgingly returned to their dormitories, gossiping loudly about your relationship.
"We'll be okay," you reassured your husband, smiling up at him. "Something more interesting will happen and they'll forget about this."
"I don't think they'll ever forget about this, but whatever you say, baby," Severus sighed resignedly, grabbing your hand and returning to your shared rooms, where the two of you hid out for the rest of the day and cheered each other up with plenty of kisses and cuddles.

do you, as tumblr's Resident Rudolf Expert, have any tips on writing his internal monologue? because i'm currently trying and failing.
Ahh, thanks for asking!!! It's very flattering that you value my opinion on this >:]
The way I approach it is usually (at least subconsciously) based on this, my favourite anecdote about him:
Tumblr media
For me there's always a lot of bitterness, a lot of cynicism and hence complaining, and yet a spark of hope somewhere underneath it that things could get better. I have a terrible habit of always writing similar kind of cynical POV characters though,,,,, because it's also similar to how my own inner monologue functions 💀😂😭... He's not super articulate when he's just thinking to himself (especially if under the influence of something which is not infrequent lol), sometimes trains of thought might start and end within the same sentence. I also tend to put in some cognitive dissonance, because I definitely see the inherent contradictions between his status and ideals (he's obsessed with mingling with the common folk but smart enough to know he can't really be level with them) and between his different overlapping roles (Rudolf the dutiful son can't work towards the same goals that Rudolf the ambitious statesman feels he must) as contributing to his mental state.
But I also like to put in some subtle (dark) humor, it's quite apparent to me that he had a sense of one whenever biographers quote his letters! Though that is also part of how I like to write in general 😁 Also there is some level of grace/charm and also intelligence naturally, he knows how to get what he wants or at least tries to intentionally make things go in his favour, and that also plays into how he thinks about things - he's a strategist and not above manipulating people. So in his inner thoughts I write Rudolf as tending to be looking for opportunities, even if he's not as good at it as say, [musical?]Taaffe.
So, that's tone stuff. For the actual content I will often (given that most of my todolf oneshots start with Rudolf despairing over something hahaha):
1) think of what's bothering him or on his mind right now (enough to whine/talk about it)
2) as he's whining about it, connect it back to something else that's also bothering him or generally on his mind (I usually pick from: childhood memories/childhood trauma, relationships with specific people important to him, current events that he's observed or knows about and has an opinion on, random interests like hunting/science/sex. Lol I think his life outside his job actually revolves around those come to think of it 😂💀. Sometimes these references come from historical events that I know happened, but other times I will make up stuff that I think would fit, like I do not cite with sources every love affair he's had in the past in my fics ajdkdkfkd some I just make up - even though I do think I'm prone to excessive research in some areas.)
3) this is because I write todolf fic lol, but usually after enough complaining Rudolf will start thinking about Him (personified depression boyfriend) and the aforementioned may or may not make an appearance hahaha. And Tod always knows what buttons to push, because what he's saying and doing are a more extreme and violent and hence (usually) sexual version of Rudolf's internal monologue.
Anyway - this is only one way to write him, a lot of it doesn't have a direct basis in musical canon so actually it's no more "accurate" than possible other interpretations. But I find that it's easier to write when Rudolf has a specific thing he's thinking about and when he's thinking about it in a Rudolf way akdlsldl, which to me means filtering it so his interests and obsessions and his specific varieties of trauma and psychic damage (but also more positive things from his background!) get emphasised 😌😁

@candleslitsnow asked for an AU in which Jet and his freedom fighters ran into Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee, disguised as Kyoshi warriors, rather than Zuko and Iroh.
Sometimes I get a prompt that makes me go, "Ah yes, you share the same kind of malicious sense of humor that I have."
1. So the thing about Avatar the Last Airbender is that I can't say that x-character is y-character's foil. I can, but I have to clarify that they are also z, a, b, c, and d's foil, because Avatar: the Last Airbender is an absolute master class in parallel character arcs and thematic cohesiveness. So you can in fact pull out any of those parallel character arcs and compare them to each other, and all of the characters can function as foils to each other, and you can compare and contrast them and it is great writing. But of course some characters are more obviously narrative foils. Jet serves as a foil primarily to Katara and Sokka when he is first introduced, and then in Book Two, he serves as a foil to Zuko. But there is a character that is a whole lot alike in some fundemental ways that he never meets. And Zuko's reaction to him in canon is colored by this fact. Because that character is Azula.
2. But actually the show does go out of its way to draw a strong narrative parallel between Jet and Azula, wherein Jet's approach to Zuko, and attempt to get to go to join him functions as a microcosm of Azula's attempt to do the same thing in the first and last episodes of Book Two, and later when Zuko ultimately comes to reject each of them, they react in very similar ways. There is a solid literary essay to be written on this by somebody who isn't me. All of this is a lot of words to say that Jet and Azula share similar tactics, and are manipulative in very similar ways. And people like that are good at recognizing each other for what they are, and seeing each other as threats.
3. All this means that I can't imagine Jet would approach Azula. He's going to make his manipulative little approach to Mai and/or Ty Lee, before he knows about Azula. He would probably like Ty Lee better, because of how wide eyed and innocent she seems, but really it depends on who he meets first. But Mai and Ty Lee both have a lot of experience with Azula, and they would have no problem recognizing Jet's brand of manipulation, and uh, leadership. And they also would have no trouble figuring out that Azula has him completely outclassed, so they would bring him home for her to eat alive.
4. As I mentioned, Jet is going to cotton onto the fact that Azula is a threat real fast, and the last time he looked at a group of people and picked out one of them as a threat, he tried to separate that one from the group and have him killed. That was Sokka, and it did not work out well for him. It would probably be pretty funny to watch him try and fail to do that with Azula. She might even let him try for a while before closing the trap in around him. But either way she's going to find him very entertaining, and she is going to have him arrested and hauled off to the Fire Nation to cool his heels in a cell at the Boiling Rock, along with Suki. If Longshot and Smellerbee were with him during this whole thing, they're going to the separate prison that the Kyoshi Warriors went to. If not, they're going to have no idea where he disappeared to. Either way, he's going alone.
5. He's going to meet Suki, they're going to hate each other, flash forward a few months, and Zuko and Sokka are going to show up. Zuko will of course have never met Jet before, but Sokka has, and he is not going to be happy to see this particular jerkface again Escaping from the Boiling Rock is going to be fun.

hello! may i ask for some werewolf!au hcs please??
can't get your art outta my head😳 hope it's ok👉🏼👈🏼
than,,,k 😭😭 of course
- shadow company is mostly werewolves and sometimes regular people that can keep up and are comfortable with that. graves collects them like stray puppies lol. he kind of wants to give them a chance to belong somewhere in a safe space
- they are under more pressure from the government though obviously
- they have an oddly nice family dynamic
- they do have heightened senses which gives them an advantage in combat and more importantly stealth ops
- 141 and los vaqueros weren’t aware of who they’re gonna be working with and they’re not happy when they find out
- soap has to speedrun through all stages of grief and after that won’t shut the fuck up. he has QUESTIONS. and he has unlimited amounts of dog jokes.
- graves can’t control his facial expressions as he is but if you add ears and tail to the mix he’s pathetic
- sharing a base with them is a nightmare. they’re mostly nocturnal (if the situation doesn’t demand otherwise) and they’re LOUD. soap thinks that the pinnacle of humor is doing a mocking howl somewhere where he’s not in direct view in hopes that some rookie won’t recognize him as not one of their own and picks it up and causes a chain reaction. the others don’t find it as funny because it takes like at least fifteen minutes for them to calm down. not all of them are purely wolves. have you ever heard a husky choir?
- “the girl comes up to the middle of the room. the girl starts yelling. she’s a husky. she has an opinion. she has things to say.” © @instantpartykidrascal
- they have a scoreboard of the times they got graves to yelp. ghost leads
- i can finally post this pic that wasn’t important enough to post on its own

Ooh could I please get a Bg3 Pairing? 👀
I'm a 21 year old autistic librarian and linguist with ADHD. My hobbies include gardening, taking care of my houseplants, learning languages, reading, and obsessively studying and infodumping about my interests. I have a very bubbly, friendly personality but I'm also really smart, mature and I give good advice. I love taking care of people and consider it to be my life's purpose, I just like being nice. As for my appearance, I'm super short, 4' 10" (147 cm) with long wavy auburn hair, glasses, pale skin with lots of moles and freckles, and a pretty tomboyish style of dress. I also really enjoy working out so I'm getting pretty muscular despite being the size of an Oompa Loompa lol. I have a really good sense of humor and can make quips very fast and easily. I enjoy learning new things and interacting with interesting people!
Thanks so much, have a fantastic day/night!
I'm thinking either Gale or Karlach! I can't decide which so I'm going to do a little bit for them both! Thank you so much for sending me a submission btw 🌿
Tumblr media
Gale
You'd accidentally bump into Gale whilst at work - he'd be looking for an old text/scroll when he'd first notice you. I reckon he'd try be quite smooth, but end up making a terrible pun or 'dad-joke' and then internally curse himself about it later.
You'd often find yourselves alone together at the library (usually late into the night), where you'd be sorting through books and he'd be studying. You'd notice the wizard and try to catch his eye - and he'd always look up from the pages and give you a little wave.
Dates would often entail you both studying together, or discussing your special interests. You could always make Gale laugh with your quick wit - sometimes he'd try and joke back, but of course he'd fail miserably (not that you'd mind though).
He'd love to teach you things about the weave, and likewise, he always found your interests, especially plants. so endearing. As a gift, Gale would go away for a few days to hike across the mountains to bring you a rare flower or shrub.
Karlach
Karlach would find you so cute from the get go. She'd struggle to contain her excitement around you, often reaching to pick you up or squeeze your arm, but she always bit her tongue and kept herself in check. This would be of course until you found yourself laying around the campfire one night, and she accidentally blurt out how the stars above your heads reminded her of your freckles.
She'd completely understand your ADHD, and in fact, would always encourage you to be you - no masking allowed when Karlach's around! She'd love to go on runs, or work out with you. And despite you being very strong yourself, she'd always want to pick you up and pepper you with kisses.
Whilst spending time out on walks together, Karlach would beg you to teach her about something... She loved listen to you talk about your interests - though sometimes she wouldn't really listen, she just loved seeing you light up with excitement as you talked about your passions.

HIIIIII could I request a platonic matchup for TWST please??
I go by she/her and in general like presenting feminine. I'm also very short and I look younger than I actually am, my eyes are this "dirty" green color that isn't exactly your typical green, but you can't really call it a brown. When it comes to interests and preferences I'm usually very indecisive, I can jump between fandoms every day or get stuck on one for several months, I listen to almost all kinds of music and I find whatever alternative movement I come across very cool. I guess it's because I get swept away by the vibe very easily and there are very few things I actually dislike and don't see the charm in. But if I had to choose then my go-to style and "persona" is "a cute little girl that likes pink and owns an AK-47 and watched all Saw movies" or something
Not to self diagnose but SOMETHING IS WRONG and it often shows. My mood can dampen or brighten in a flash and I can't really do anything about it, on most days I don't have the energy to do anything and I can cancel plans I made in advance just because I made them on a good day and didn't think I might not have the energy for them later. I'm working on it I swear,,,, my love languages are aggression, threats and violent grabbing. If I'm comfortable with you I can just come up to you, grab your neck and go "I'LL EAT YOU" and the people that I love know that it's a good thing.
Idk what else to say about myself that would be substantial to the request, my sense of humor is really weird. I may not always laugh at normal jokes, but I will absolutely lose my shit at a low quality picture of a bug that says "carlos". Thank you in advance, I hope this was enough!
Hello! Thank you so much for your request! I'm finally able to get these rolling, so I hope you enjoy!
CW: None
Tumblr media
I match you with........
Epel Felmier
🍎 Okay, I saw your persona saying cute girl who likes pink but also owns an AK-47 and has seen all the SAW movies and he was the first person that came to my mind.
🍎 People misjudge this cute looking little guy as someone sweet and adorable when in reality it is a feral gremlin who will occasionally have crackhead energy and the vibe i see you two having brings me great joy.
🍎 Epel is glad that he has someone he can greatly relate too, as in looking just adorable and having people misjudge your character, when in reality, you're just feral gremlins trying to get through school.
🍎 Now, does he show his own aggressive affection? I can see it. He is a feral country boy and he also wants to prove that he can handle your own aggressive affection. Vil may not like this but what does he like? Epel could care less. He does him and Vil does Vil. People think you two are fighting, but this is just how you are with one another. Gremlin buddies all the way.
🍎 Speaking of Vil, Epel avoids him like the plague. You know this. Vil knows this. That's why he comes to you as soon as Epel has vanished for their manners session. Do you know where he is? 9/10, yes. But do you tell him? Nah. Epel loves you because of this.
🍎 Knowing how you would loose it over auch posts like a bug labeled 'Carlos', he will plague your phone with them all day long. He sees one, and knows he has to send it to you. Whether you're both in class, at lunch, in the middle of the night. If he finds a pic, he sends it to you right away. Both of you have laughed so hard that you've cried.
🍎 When your mood dampens, sometimes he can be at a loss as to what to do, but he picks up on how to help rather quickly depending on the situation. The last thing he wants is for you to be upset. You're his best friend and he will defend his best friend any way he can.
🍎 Touching back on random bug pics with funny names, because of his excellent skills in carving apples, for your birthday, you can be he carved you a freaking apple of the same fuzzy bug picture names 'Carlos'.......... it is now your favorite thing.
🍎 Epel just really wants to be a good friend. He already has to deal with Adeuce and their antics. Jack is pretty good. He's on the fence about Sebek. So the fact he is able to relate to you so well, it's no wonder you two became best friends rather fast! In the first year group chat, you are both known as 'Gremlin 1' and 'Gremlin 2', order is up to you. The rest of the group underestimated you at first...... never again🤣.
🍎 Overall, he very much likes that he can be himself around you. He loves that you're able to hide him from Vil. And he absolutely loves your aggressive way of showing affection. This man is your absolute ride or die, you can bet on that.

Tumblr media
(Hello I really hope you enjoy this, have a nice day/night!)
I match you with:
Tumblr media
Itadori Yuji
- Due to his kind personality you’ll warm up to him quickly. When he realizes that you’re being shy he makes sure to not overwhelm you when you get to know him.
- He was shocked the first time you were verbally aggressive to someone but the shock didn’t last for long. He thinks it’s admirable to stand up for yourself.
- Sets up a contest for you, him, Megumi, and Nobara on who can eat the most spiciest food in a certain amount of time. You would probably win but Itadori would be in second place.
- You guys often binge watch animes or play games together.
- He thinks it’s really cool that you are a vocaloid producer and that you know so many languages, (y’all sometimes listen to your music while hanging out)
- He really likes to listen to you talk about all of your interests. He’s a good listener and remembers majority of what you say.
- Whenever it snows outside you guys will have intense snow fights. He’s really fast so good luck on winning.
- After he’s exhausted from all the training, the water bottles you bring are helpful to cool him off.
- When you are upset he’ll gift you some of your favorite things/drinks and try to cook/bake your favorite treats.
- He asks you to take a picture of you and him so that he can print it out and put it on his wall (or desk if he even has one)
- He loves your collections and art. He would want to try pottery out and try to make something.
Tumblr media
Denki Kaminari
- He can be a bit loud sometimes and if you’re overwhelmed at first when meeting him he’ll tone it down a bit until you get warmed up to him.
- He admires your independence and hopes to be as independent as you.
- If someone provokes you and you’re being verbally aggressive to the person he would be on the sidelines hyping you up.
- If he reads a Manga that you also read and he doesn’t understand some of the storyline or anything he’ll go to you and see if you know about it.
- When he was first learning guitar, he goes to you for some tips.
- He introduces you to a lot of his friends (like Bakugou, Kirishima, Mina, Jiro, Sero, etc) he thinks y’all will get along really well.
- You guys are like a comedic duo in the classroom. Sometimes you guys pull pranks on some of your friends. One time he asked you to teach him some insults in some of the languages you know and y’all were making fun of Bakugou in front of his face while laughing y’all asses off.
- Whenever you’re upset and/or crying he tries to cheer you up the best he can by making you laugh.
- Teaches you the newest slang and phrases.
- You guys sometimes bake together during the holidays and it becomes a mess because he decides to stick his finger into the batter and put it on your face, causing a war.
