Continuing my new series of "dumb thoughts I have about Baldur's Gate 3," I have a strong conviction that every companion/main character may be represented by an (hilarious) 80s anthem (if you pretend that 1976-1983 is the 80s).
So, without further ado, here is my personally curated playlist for the BG3 Companions!
Astarion
"Somebody to Love" by Queen I mean, where do I start? Take a look in the mirror and cry? I spent all my years in believing you? Or my personal favorite, I just gotta get out of this prison cell/Some day I'm gonna be free! Lord... And the thing to get about this is not so much that Astarion is looking for romance necessarily, but he wishes to be in a place safe enough to love. I think that's really one of his most cherished dreams, being able to form a stable, long-term relationship with someone who will keep him safe, where he will be safe and not alone anymore. But also, can you imagine this drama queen complaining, with a full choir back up, about how hard he works every day? Dear god. So I humbly pitch "Somebody to Love" for his anthem.
The Emperor
"More than a Feeling" by Boston Listen, I was overcome by the fact that a tadpole in your brain certainly is more than a feeling. It was too good not to share! He just wants to love you!
Gale
"Tainted Love" by Soft Cell Is there a more appropriate sentiment for Gale and Mystra than I gave you all a boy could give you/Take my tears and that's not nearly all! ? This is my break up song for the poor boy. You can do this Gale, I believe in you!
Halsin
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper You see a big bear sprawling in the sunny flowers in the middle of a forest clearing and what do you think? Girls just wanna have fun, absolutely! Also, Cyndi Lauper is an OG in sexual liberation, which is very Halsin.
Karlach
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler Oh, the jokes really don't stop with this one ^^; It's about living in a powder keg and giving off sparks? Being lonely for so long? Bright eyes? I mean... Karlach absolutely lives up to the melodrama here.
Lae'zel
"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor This one I'm probably least satisfied with as it feels very hurr durr Lae'zel fight good. But "Livin' on a Prayer" didn't come out until 86, "Welcome to the Jungle" was 88, "Immigrant Song" is right out in 1970... and none of these are quite right either. Haven't found one yet that properly captures some of the nuance of our complex, fighty lady. Perhaps subject to change later.
Shadowheart
"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey Alright, I'll admit this one isn't perfect either, but... come on! The title is just too good! And such a rosy, hopeful song about beating the odds in the face of Shadowheart's pessimistic doom and gloom, it was just so good!
Withers
"Hotel California" by The Eagles If bone man isn't the personification of You can check out any time you like/But you can never leave I don't know what is.
Wyll
"Carry On My Wayward Son" by Kansas If this song is ruined for you by certain other cultural touchstones... suck it up. Or if you must, replace with "Take On Me" by a-ha, because that was a close second. But I think when you really think about it, Wyll is very much a wayward son, trying to create a little peace in this world.

coping mechanisms
angel reyes x gn!reader (& bonus coco), angst, 1683 words
no warnings, just men being dumb and fighty
for day 21 of whumpril: ‘it’s just a scratch’
tagging: @drabbles-mc @cositapreciosa @hausofmamadas​ (let me know if u wanna be tagged for angel fics)
Tumblr media
Angel’s been like this since EZ’s arrest. Desperate for distraction. He’d been bothering the guys at first, tagging along on every job he could, calling round for drinks when they didn’t want guests. You could only keep him busy for so long too, because you always had to go to work eventually. No matter how much of yourself you gave in the time in between, it wasn’t enough. He was driving himself mad with it, really, the pursuit of an occupied mind. When no-one was there to help, he drank instead, but his wallet complained as much as his head did on that one.
And then he’d started fixing up his bike.
New parts, new paint. He stays out all day, polishing it, tweaking it. Riding out until it’s dirty and doing it all over again.
He’s at it now, in the lot, down on one knee to add shine to the front wheel arch. You’re watching him from the porch of the clubhouse, forearms on the wooden railing. You try to be a part of what helps. Offer him every escape you can think of: movies, dinner, sex. But he just goes right back to the bike afterwards. It’s the only thing that keeps his mind from running away with him. The repetition, you suppose, the little tasks, over and over again. He can’t think about EZ’s sentencing while he’s doing it. It’s just polish, and detailing, and the instant gratification of doing something practical with his hands.
There’s no waiting for someone else’s decision with the bike, the control is all his.
‘You want a beer, Ange?’ you shout.
His head shakes from across the yard. ‘Nah, you’re good.’
You’d expected as much, but offering a drink every now and then is all you can do when he’s like this. You were trying to be patient. Supportive.
‘I wanna go eat soon,’ you tell him, which he nods to. ‘In like thirty minutes?’
‘Yeah, sure.’
He hasn’t looked up from the bike once, is just raising his voice so it carries instead.
You sigh, relaxing into the support in front of you. EZ’s trial can’t come soon enough. You need your boyfriend back. Need a decision, a sentence, so he can stop avoiding what’s coming and deal with it instead. The longer he goes like this, the harder it’ll be when it happens and EZ goes in for good. He won’t even talk about it. Acts like he doesn’t have a brother at all, and if you bring it up, then, well. It’s worse than letting him spending hours and hours waxing the leather of his seat cushion.
There’s another bike pulling up now, Coco on his own, rolling into the space beside Angel’s. You can see right away that he’s got the angle wrong, probably from squinting into the sun. He goes wonky, then straightens, too close to where Angel’s working. You can’t be sure, but it almost looks like he’s made contact. Bike to bike.
‘Ey, ey, yo!’ Angel’s standing, tossing his cloth onto the seat. ‘Watch your fucking bars, homie.’
Coco’s engine cuts off. ‘Relax, bro,’ he says, craning to look between the two machines. He pushes his own bike back, walking it with his boots, before kicking down his stand. ‘It ain’t that serious.’
But Angel’s bent again, inspecting the paintwork of his own. ‘You fucked up my bike,’ he snaps, finger swiping along the mark he’s found.
‘What?’ Coco dismounts, hair swinging as he walks to stand beside him. When he’s there, looking at what Angel’s looking at, he laughs. ‘C’mon bro, that shit’s barely visible.’ He pushes Angel’s shoulder dismissively, grinning like they’re in on a joke. ‘The fuck is wrong with you?’
But Angel isn’t laughing. ‘The fuck is wrong with you?’ he snaps back, shoving Coco harder than he had done in the first place, away from him and into the handlebars of his own bike.
You straighten. Even from here you can see that they aren’t joking, can recognise the tension stretching between your boyfriend’s shoulder blades. He’s pissed, and he means it.
Coco laughs again as you take to the stairs, path set toward them. He’s not cocky with it now, but nervous, laughing from the shock of Angel’s reaction. ‘Yo, chill,’ he says, ‘it’s not that deep, Angel.’
‘Me chill?’ Angel’s hand flies out, gesturing to the bike. ‘You’re out here damaging my shit cause you can’t fucking ride, asshole.’
You’re a step away now, close enough to exchange a look with Coco, a what the fuck is going on, look. He’s got a right to be annoyed, sure, but this? This is beyond rationale. You and Coco both know that, but only one of you is patient enough to realise it’s not really Coco he has an issue with. Or the bike. It’s not really that at all.
Coco scoffs, righting himself, and setting his kutte straight over his chest. ‘You need to get a life, homie,’ he says, making your stomach sink. He shouldn’t take this route. He shouldn’t say anything at all.
‘Let’s bring it down a notch, yeah?’ You stop in front of them, looking between the two.
‘Ever since EZ was arrested this is all you fucking care about,’ Coco continues, ‘it’s fucking sad, man.’
Angel tuts, face tilting to the ground for a minute. You can see his jaw working, can imagine his molars clenching and unclenching.
‘He’s done for, bro, making your bike all nice and shit isn’t gonna—’
Angel swings at him, too clumsy to make contact with his fist—Coco flinching back in just the right moment—but his elbow catches his nose on the way back, and then it’s happening so fast that you lose track. Coco rushes him, taking them both back into Angel’s bike, swearing and grunting and grappling like children. Like boys in the mud of the school yard.
‘Fucking stop!’ you shout, hooking a hand around Coco’s shoulder because he’s closest, and yanking him as hard as you can.
It isn’t easy, and you’re ashamed to admit that you might’ve pulled his hair, just slightly, to get him to release, but eventually he lets you, and you drag him away from the stupid fucking fight.
‘What the fuck is wrong with you guys?’ you pant, pushing Coco behind you. When you turn to throw the question at Angel, he bumps into you, all momentum. He hadn’t realised that you’d gotten in between them yet. ‘Hey.’ You shove him back, two palms to his chest. ‘You’re acting like children.’
‘He started on me, man,’ Coco whines, pinching the bridge of his nose. ‘You gave me a fucking nose bleed, asshole.’
Angel’s panting, chest lifting up and down wildly. ‘Yeah. Eye for an eye, fuckwad.’
You tut. ‘Angel.’ He’s embarrassing you. You’re actually itching under the skin with it.
Coco’s shaking his head, looking at the red on his hands, before putting them back to slow the flow of it. ‘You’re fucking crazy, homie,’ he says, tracking backwards toward clubhouse. ‘Stay the fuck away from me.’
‘Likewise, bro,’ Angel quips back, saying it over your head, all attitude and childish bitterness.
‘Will you fucking act like an adult, Angel?’ You’re staring at him, eyes wide and disbelieving. ‘It’s just a scratch. An accident.’ You’re close enough to see the mark for what it is now, and honestly, it’ll probably buff out. It’s probably just a streak of rubber over anything else. ‘Are you even seeing yourself right now?’
He scoffs, turning away from you to grab the cloth from his seat. ‘I don’t need shit from you too, y’know.’
‘You threw a punch over a scratch, Angel!’
He sours, grumbling, ‘You heard what he said about EZ.’
Yeah, the truth. He said what everyone else, besides Angel, has already accepted. ‘Really?’ you ask, head shaking. ‘You’re gonna lash out at literally everyone that talks about it?’
You watch him run the cloth through his hands, once, twice, waiting for a reply that never comes. You expected him to have a moment of realisation, to meet his stubbornness head on and accept that it isn’t fucking working. For him, for anyone. But he just stands there, waiting for you to leave.
‘You know what, Angel?’
‘What?’ His head twitches toward you, too sharp for your liking. It just adds fuel to the simmer.
‘I have been so patient, and understanding, letting you do your fucking…’ You wave toward his bike, toward him. His avoidance. ‘But you really need to sort your shit, and fast,’ you tell him. He needs to act like the older brother for once.
His head goes back, with a sigh bigger than he has any right to. ‘He scratched my fucking—’
‘The bike is not the fucking point, is it?’ you snap, cutting him off before he can complain any further. ‘You’re going to have to deal with this, okay, I know it sucks, but you can’t just keep yourself busy and never address the giant fucking elephant in the room.’
He’ll go crazy. You will too. Like a stone tied around your middle, thrown off the bridge with him.
‘EZ is likely to go down.’ Your voice catches, forcing you to swallow. ‘For a serious amount of time, and you need to deal with that, Ange.’
No more distractions, no more snapping at everyone that mentions it. Just him, and the real fucking reality that he’s trying to avoid. Your stare at him, waiting still. He says nothing. He can’t even bring himself to match your gaze.
But that’s fine. If that’s how he wants to be, then fine. You aren’t going to helicopter over his neuroticism anymore. You huff, turning on the balls of your feet.
‘What, you not even gonna let me defend myself?’ he scoffs, trying to sound arrogant and failing, too delayed to have any real impact. He’s only saying it now because it looks like you’ve won. 
‘No,’ you reply, eyes set on the door of the clubhouse. ‘I’m going to see if you broke his fucking nose.’

Warner Brothers always seems to miss a perfectly good opportunity to make Marvin and Taz a hilarious odd couple. I’m so tired of Bugs and Daffy, Daffy and Porky, Sylvester and Tweety, the same overused comedic duo. Marvin and Taz; These two are complex polar opposites of each other (with Taz being more of an opposite to Marvin than Yosemite Sam), and I would love to see what interactions they’d give, other than that Baby Looney Tunes moment they’ve shared together.
But I don’t wanna see them fight. Noooo. No more fighty. But rather I’d want them paired off as roommates in a satire bad sitcom. Two boys who live together, conflicting with each other’s differences, driving each other crazy, but really show they care for one another. If not roommates, then they can just be geeky buddies. We need more weird, awkward friendships in the Looney Tunes.
Now that I think about it, maybe Marvin and Taz should’ve been paired off pals in The Looney Tunes Show, bringing back that wholesome Baby Looney Tunes shit! …but as adults! Using an obscure character like Pete Puma as Marvin’s best friend just doesn’t seem to fit, in my opinion. If they were intending to give Marv a polar opposite, then Pete sure ain’t it. He’s just dumb. Taz is dumb, but also primitive, hotheaded, and lacks any etiquette skills, whereas Marvin is smart, calm, polite, and a very tidy guy. Turning Taz into Bugs and Daffy’s dog was just a lazy move, probably cuz the writers couldn’t think of any use to do with him. MAKE HIM MARVIN’S BESTIE! It’s that simple!

ive got silly guys for you!!! (repost from my old acc) its a little older so im not as proud of it but !! we need more gremlin connor content out here
SFW!!!!! NSFW DNI
switch!connor + switch!schlatt (a little heavier on lee schlatt though Augh) | 1.3k words !!
Bored
{🐏🦔}
Connor huffed, collapsing onto the couch right next to Schlatt. Schlatt turned his head slowly, his annoyed face very clear to the hedgehog.
Connor frowned, looking up at Schlatt. He opened his mouth to speak, before Schlatt interrupted him.
"Connor, I just want to warn you, that if you are going to say anything about being bored, I am going to lose my fucking mind."
Connor couldn't help but laugh. It was a frequent complaint that the brunette had, and usually everybody suffered when he went through it.
"Well, boy do I have news for you."
The shorter paused, staring as the ram waited.
"I'm bored."
Schlatt groaned, rubbing at this eyes and setting down his book.
"Fine. You win. What do you want me to do about it?"
He was exasperated, and the only response his friend paid him was a simple shrug.
"Dunno."
"Do you wanna watch a movie?"
The taller said, hoping to find an end to their talk. Even though Schlatt loved Connor with his whole heart, running a business is hard work! And he needed time to recharge before he did shit again.
"I guess...."
But of course, the other hybrid had to make everything difficult. What did he even want if he didn't want a simple hang out session?
"You guess? Con, my man, it's a yes or no question."
They both laughed, and Connor finally gave a proper response.
"Fine. But only if it's not a horror movie. I can't stand those."
Schlatt nodded frantically, agreeing. Anything to get out of the conversation and into silently watching a movie.
He was quick to turn on some dumb Disney movie, picking Mulan since he knew for a fact it was among Connor's favorites.
Schlatt opened his book, reading through it as he thought the conversation had come to an end, and they would just watch the movie.
Connor though, seemed to not be even close to done. He snaked his arm around Schlatt's waist, his eyes glued to the screen. The ram didn't think it was anything different, his arm finding its place around his friend's shoulders. It was a common occurrence to find them holding onto each other, as best friends often did.
What Schlatt failed to see, was another common occurrence the two found themselves in the habit of doing.
Without saying a word, both of Connor's hands found their way to Schlatt's sides, and he immediately started taking advantage of that.
"Whahat the fuhuck-"
Schlatt tried his best to shut up, and not let Connor see his hard work pay off, but he was woefully unprepared for this.
The hedgehog simply shrugged, his hands finding their way to the ram's ribs. Maybe he'd think about not wearing a shirt around the house next time.
"Ohokay, ohOHKAY!"
Schlatt tried to back away, but his best friend only followed. He was still holding his book, and really didn't want to drop and ruin it.
"I told you I was bored. Maybe, next time, you won't try and shut me up with a movie. Tee Bee Ache, you kinda deserve it."
Schlatt was going to bring up the spelling of the acronym 'To Be Honest' out loud, but he couldn't focus on that, as Connor had wormed his way to his lower back, scratching at the area by his tail.
That actually made Schlatt collapse against the pillows, trying to squeeze out Connor's hands. But that only helped what he was trying to hurt, Connor moving one of his hands to come after his lower tummy.
Schlatt shook his head, trying to control the giggles that continued to leave his mouth. What didn't help, was that Connor said absolutely nothing as he fucked with him.
"Cohon, CohoHONNEHER!"
He tried to beg, watching the older look up at him.
"Yeah? What's up, Schlatt?"
The ram cackled, his head falling back to the pillow behind him. Of course he picked an asshole to be his best friend.
It took him a moment to process that he could be fighting back instead of sitting back and taking it.
Schlatt brought his hands down, trying to collect Connor's. He actually got a good grip on one of the smaller wrists before the tickles stopped, and bright blue eyes stared at him.
".....Heyyyy, Schlatt-"
He said, looking just a tad nervous. Good.
"Hehey, Connor."
Schlatt responded, a death stare finding its way to Connor.
Even through his short breathed giggles, Schlatt was a scary man. Usually it was to Connor's advantage! But this time? ....no, not really.
"Uhm, what's going on?"
Connor asked, testing the grip that the ram had on one of his hands, using the other to rub his palm on his pant leg.
Schlatt looked calm, shrugging.
"Nothing much. You want your hand back?"
He asked, doing his best to keep his growing smirk off his face.
"Yeah, uh, that'd be nice."
Connor replied, avoiding the other's eyes by trying to pry off the fingers that held the freedom of his hand.
"Wow. That's gotta suck, then."
He finally responded, the shorter looking up at him in confusion.
"What?"
He asked, but it was already too late. Schlatt held his hand palm up, furiously scribbling at it.
The hedgehog shrieked, the shock of his situation hitting harder than the movements themselves. His heel dug into the floor under the couch, and he tried to pull his hand back.
Schlatt wasn't giving in though, his nails scratching up and down the ridiculously sensitive area.
Connor was reduced to giggles, shaking his head as if he were embarrassed.
"The funniest thing about you, is that you don't even fight back! You just sit there and take it!"
The ram teased, watching his friend's face light up a bright red. He knew that he was right though, by the way he just shrinked into the couch.
He didn't respond, uselessly giggling. While that was a good spot, Schlatt wanted to try and get a different kind of laughter that he knew Connor could produce.
He gave the hands a rest, looking the hedgehog up and down. Eventually, before Connor could fully recover, his hands found their way to the other's sides, grinning as he did so.
"You should really just get good, Con."
He said, starting to quickly squeeze. Connor's giggles returned, and he tried to push at Schlatt's hands. It was only when the ram tried to scribble at his tummy that he fought back, actually pushing Schlatt's hands off of him and sitting up to dig into his hips.
Schlatt immediately retracted his hands, freezing up for a second before he weakly pushed at Connor's.
"Screhehew you!"
Connor exclaimed, moving a hand to claw once more at the other's lower back and tail area. Schlatt didn't take this well, but he didn't do much to stop it, too taken in by the sensations attacking his nervous system.
Connor took his time abusing that spot, Schlatt kicking his legs and basically unable to do anything. Finnally, after too much time (in Schlatt's opinion), he finally switched, one hand focusing on his ribs and the other scratching at the base of his horn.
The melt spot and regular tickles hit him like a truck, purring mixed with laughter tiring him out more than Connor probably meant to.
Eventually, he called out what Connor had been waiting to hear.
"Uhuhuncle! UhuncehEHELE!"
That led the older to finally stop, grinning widely at his friend.
"I won!"
He said proudly, rubbing away any ghosty tingles that stayed on Schlatt's skin.
"Oh fuhuck yohou."
Schlatt hissed in response, glaring. Of course, he'd have to get Connor back. But that'd happen on a day he didn't know to expect it.
"Wanna watch a movie?"
His friend asked, an innocent look plastered on his face.
"Die."

Live reactions to One Foot in the Fade pt1, spoilery
I missed Fetch ahhhh
He is so dumb of ass and fighty and gremlin. My boy 💜💜
"fetch think before you--"
Honey he doesn't have two braincells to rub together
This bad guy is literally the happy mask salesman
Luke said fuck capitalism as usual
RichiexFetch when
Words that Luke has pronounced like an Australian even using the American accent so far: amateur, expletives, tattoo, picture, idea
Luke said acab as usual:
"I'm not sure there's any such thing. There are good people, but once you put on the uniform, it does all kinds of crazy things to you. Any kind of uniform, really. I've worn enough to know. So have you. All these patches, jackets and tattoos, they're just excuses. Ways to blame the things we've done on someone else."
Richie like "you're my friend doesn't that count for something?" but Fetch like I'm from Weatherly we don't talk about our fucking feelings, what is this nonsense
"I don't think I matter, in that way" oh fetch baby
"Oh nothing like that I just need to hire a sex worker" truth in fiction because of Luke and Michael hutchence and his INXS preparation lnaooo
Simms lesbian???
Siren Song!!!
People getting juiced out here with spirit fingers, overloaded with juice
Just the requisite gushing about how fucking good Luke is at doing voices, Jesus Christ
Georgio's story and don quixote, is this anything
Got hit by a car lmaoooo back to Whump City. He really does love beating the shit out of his main character
GAY GAY GAY SWORD FIGHTING
LUKE THAT'S GAY ALSO YOU'RE NOT SUBTLE
He is out here panting and gasping dialogue between two men swordfighting and also apparently they boxed in the backyard????
fellas is it gay to box in the backyard with your nemesis when the words get too heated
were they shirtless too
Also earlier Niles literally said "good boy" to Fetch and I fucking saw God
BS references so far: walrus ogre, treasure, it mattered, sword fighting, sacrifice vs survival and The Cause, "I am this city" aka "I am your king" aka "I am Nassau"
More 2 come~

[Last thing. Promise. Probably.]
[Vegeta gets his dub over Goku in a spar. It’s absolutely silly and goofy that it’s basically they’re both completely wiped and Vegeta just gets that last hit in but it sounds pretty funny. I weep for how the stans are going to take this, but good on my dumb, angy, fighty boi. 💖💗 I’m just glad they didn’t do some stupid ship-baiting with him seeing Bulma’s stupid ass “upgrades...” 🙄🙄]

(@wingsofachampion) 14 and 15! -Tropius
14 - weirdest local news story?
i don't think it got into the news for ~fun reasons~ (plus right now it just seems like a rumor) but i heard a student in a different class is suspended rn and they're trying to figure out what to do w her because she tried to sneak into A0 over the winter break... no clue why she did if so, or even if that's a real story or just ppl coming up with hypotheses for why she's gone this semester. if it's true tho i want to know and see if she took pictures bc i know my dumb ass would NOT survive stepping an inch inside but im still curious ykno?
15 - if you had to pick a Pokémon to represent you, what Pokémon would you pick? 
ohhh boy hard question! despite my dye job matching my team (it was smth my mom suggested and it's kind of stuck bc it's cute and artsy i think) i wouldn't pick tatsugiri? i WANT to say empoleon or samurott but that's more my ideal 'what i wish i was like' pick. i'd guess i'd pick buizel, they can be a bit excitable and fighty but otherwise they do seems very chill and get along well and they're curious. they're the most normal-adjacent water type i know and not to sound like larry but i know i'm just some guy at the academy not some badass and tbh i'm ok w that

ppl interpreting john as stupid when he can identify a meteor by its exact term, writes as eloquently ( if not quite as poetically ) as arthur, reads the paper n books regularly, expresses a desire that he had gone to school so he could understand marko dragic’s scientific jargon n overall project, and has a generally elevated vocabulary even when he’s not actively exercising it is the reason why my back hurts at the tender age of 23

This Week in BL
March 2021 Part 4
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs. 
This is a LONG ONE, it’s been A WEEK everyone. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
Lovely Writer Ep 5 - a little slow this week, but at least Gene finally flirted back, and very cute flirting it was, too. Also we got Aey’s motivation, background, and love interest. Thank goodness for that. 
Brothers Ep 8 - still pants, what can I say? Clearly I am a BL masochist. Very embarrassing for everyone concerned. 
1000 Stars Ep 9 - the conflict over Tian’s father was REALLY well done. The plot of this drama is excellent, the leads are great together, and yes I totally cried. What, you didn’t? 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Word of Honor (China) Ep 16-18 - big battle fighty fighty stabby stabby. Ep 17 switches to “this drama isn’t big enough for two chaotic-neutral godlings!” So what do they do? Drink together and bicker... A LOT. Then in Ep 18 we all get the dubious joy of really freaky puppets. (I HATE puppets.) Also how is China letting this be so SO VERY VERY GAY?  Also, I wanna walk through the forest wearing a smanshy purple robe and waving a big fuck-off white fan around simply because I’m a pretentious fuss monger. And frankly, I feel like this is an achievable life goal for me. 
We Best Love 2 (Taiwan) Ep 4 - not gonna lie, this is looking to be one of my top 3 BLs of 2021. It’s SO GOOD. Big bonus to this ep for treating stalker behavior like the mental illness it is and not as some dumb representation of enduring love. 
The Most Peaceful Place is My Place (Vietnam) Ep 1 - finally dropped (find it under NƠI BÌNH YÊN NHẤT LÀ VỀ BÊN EM on O2′s channel). It’s got actors already comfortable with BL and looks pretty good so far. An angry tsundere uke reunited with his ex, a stoic chef, giving us lots of snap, crackle, and pop out the gate. 
Dear Uranus (Taiwan GL) Ep 2 - I want to love it, but it is just moving too fast. There’s not enough character dev and then they’re throwing flashbacks in? It feels like a treatment rather than a show, and a rushed treatment at that. Bummer. 
HIStory 4: Close To You (Taiwan) Ep 2 (AKA Ep 3-4) - let the cheesy popcorn continue! Idiot remains an idiot; ingenue remains an ice queen; nice gay guy remains nice and gay; obsessive stalker brother is getting ever more whackadoddle. Of course these last two have the best chemistry. (It’s caregiver codependency and the salvation trope. We got us a Leo/Fiat situation going on.​) Plus lots of classic BL tropes because OF COURSE there are lots of tropes. 
Occasionally, I am tempted to argue that shows like H4 or Cherry Magic or Ossan’s Love aren’t technically BL because of the office setting and age of the protags - but then they all behave like high school students anyway, so *shrug* 
Tumblr media
Stand Alones
Cute little Taiwanese micro BL Friend or Lover dropped, about bisexual realization within a friendship group. Normally these are too short for me, but this one did pretty good with its 15 minutes of charm, plus it’s abad boy + shy softy pairing. 
Tumblr media
Breaking News - Thai BL
Fish Upon the Sky released its actual trailer. The upside-down kiss is gone, which makes everyone sad, and it seems far less rivals to lovers than the first iteration, which makes ME sad. But it still looks good and a more classic BL than GMMTV has given us in a while. New trailer focused more on the makeover trope and they’ve upped Mix’s role (the object of everyone’s affection) now that he’s proved himself. (Or they are using him more to carry the trailer since he has a fan base form 1k*). Starts April 9 on GMMTV in 1K*’s time slot, probably with a 10 ep run. 
2gether the movie is apparently coming April 22 to Thai theaters. F4 Thailand must be having issues or GMMTV just wants to milk the BrightWin cash cow. It’s rumored to be a combination of 2gehter + Still 2gether with some extra scenes and ending. Also, one assumes a lot will be cut out, if it’s movie length.
Call It What You Want released its updated trailer. If anything, it looks more scary than before. What are we in for? April 9th. 
Nitiman got a release date, May 7 on One31. 
I Told Sunset About You 2 got an updated release date of May 27 on LineTV. 
Second Chance the series is coming to LineTV on March 29. I don’t know much about this one. Tons of familiar faces (mostly TharnType side dishes) and some nice looking new talent but a dearth of eng subs. I think it may take on Brothers’ time slot. Line did eng subs for Brothers so maybe they will do 2nd Chance too? 
Close Friend the series is coming April 22. This is a combination of 6 couples with 6 story arcs as music videos (maybe)? It’s an epic fan service with familiar faces like OhmFluke (UWMA), MaxNat (LBC also in Y-Destiny), YoonLay (YYY also in Y-Destiny), KimCop (GenY), and JaFirst (TT2).
Y-Destiny starts March 30, and has starting dropping couple’s trailers. I’m still suspicious given the director but it seems like there is plot (or plots) and a theme. Looks to be a series of 7 single ep vignettes (amended, see comments, might be 2 eps each for 14 eps total), different couple each time, some with supernatural elements, all with decent chemistry and acting chops. 
Sun MaxNat’s tutor/student arc
Mon jaded rich kid meets poor innocent  
Tues sports romance enemies to lovers 
Weds the messy realistic actual dating one 
Thurs hot ghost boyfriend (sad) 
Fri YoonLayPerth coping with loss and finding new love (sad). This one will all rest on Lay's acting so we know it’s in safe hands. Our boy is going to KILL it. 
Sat time-slip memory loss reunion romance 
I’m thinking we can’t expect any of these to end happy or be classic BL. They’re gonna be more slice of life-ish. 
Tumblr media
Gossip - BL Outside of Thailand 
Scholar Ryu’s Wedding Ceremony AKA Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding (Korean historical BL) got a legit teaser (eng sub here). @curriculumvtae​ reports that it’s releasing April 15th on WeTV (Philippines & Thailand) and Idol Romance (South Korea), while Will of Thai Bl says it’ll be on Viki too. It’s a short run of 8 ep built on a fake relationship trope (arranged marriage variant):
Ryu Ho Seon’s (Kang In Soo from You Wish) arranged marriage turns out to be with his expected bride’s brother, Choi Ki Wan (Lee Se Jin from Mr Heart). Ryu tries to undo the marriage, but his ill mother opposes this saying the scandal would be too much. Meanwhile, Kim Tae Hyeong (Jang Eui Soo from Where Your Eyes Linger), a senior at Ryu’s school, comes to congratulate him and falls in love with Choi. Then one day, the original bride disappears.
Okay it seems a bit twisty turny for ONLY 8 EPS, but oh my goodness how excited are we? Our first intentional historical BL out of Korea!
Tumblr media
We already knew Hong Kong was doing a remake of Japan’s Ossan’s Love under the same name (not my favorite Japanese BL but so very popular) but it’s now reported to be coming to Viu in June. Who knows how the CFA will take it. Depends on whether Hong Kong bows before the NO GAY KISSES regs or if they are going to use this as a political nose thumb... things could get cray with this puppy (the original has several kisses and s shower scene). Are we back in Addicted territory only with added comedy and civil unrest?
Speaking of Japan, Absolute BL (AKA Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai vs Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko) dropped sooner than anyone thought, March 27. But being Japanese who knows how/when/if we get subs. Protag finds himself trapped in a world of BL, but being straight he fights against any hot guy that draws near, but the whole world (literally) is conspiring against him. It’s a parody adapted from a yoai.
What with Absolute BL from Japan plus Lovely Writer and Call it What You Want from Thailand, is 2021 the year of BL being ultra self referential? Sure feels like it.
Tumblr media
In Case You Missed It
Faded a gay micro film from Taiwan from 2017 deals with parental acceptance and serves up a ton of BL tropes (piggyback, forehead kiss, etc). I’m pretty sure this was a propaganda piece for legalization of gay marriage, and it’s an interesting nugget of BL history as a result. Yes, it ends happy. It’s cute. 
Next Week Looks Like This:
Some shows may be listed a day later than actual air date for accessibility reasons.
Tumblr media
Upcoming 2021 BL master post here.
Links to watch are provided when possible, ask in a comment if I missed something.
Man there’s a lot going on right now! Spring has sprung... I suppose. 
Tumblr media
P.S. I cannot believe I missed Absolute BL as a blog name. Numbnuts = me.

honestly i think the reason jake is my second favorite shitty love interest out of the four in this novel is because i was happy to see siblings dynamics portrayed accurately.
(jack being the first because he mainly gave us dumb bitch disease with a major case of obnoxious fighty boi rather than any other really terrible trait. like you have a stalker, a flaky womanizer, and a fucking yandere and then you have this imbo that didn’t really have a seen where he was actively harassing yuri)
like bro, the amount of times i have been talking with mom about something and then my brother just walks in and interrupts the conversation or adds his unwanted opinion. BITCH NOBODY ASKED YOU GET OUT.
i fuck up something in his room and hide only for him to find me and im saved only by the fact that our eldest brother is annoyed that we are being loud.
“why are you here, fuck off” “you think i want to be here? mom said to come with you.”
*flipping each other off*
the awkward reconciliation where you don’t understand why they are being nice to you
like me and my brother definitely weren’t as bad as them but that felt accurate as fuck to siblings that don’t completely get along.

BNHA AU Ideas: True Might
Also on AO3! 
TL;DR:  Powers don't make the hero - passion does. Luckily for Izuku and Toshinori, this is something the quirkless have in droves.
AKA: All Might is a quirkless vigilante, One for All isn't a quirk that exists and 1A gets a whole 3-week buffer before villain's start kicking their face in as opposed to the 3 days of canon.
Basically: Quirkless!Vigilante!All Might and Quirkless!Successor!(gen ed) UA Student!Midoriya. It’s a riot.
Yagi is stupid strong, his only form in this AU is basically Muscle Form from canon, but he’s a little less ridiculously cut. Not quite chubby, but huggable. This is mostly because he A, isn’t a celebrity that needs to have a marketable image and B, he really likes carbs.
He’s not exactly a vigilante by choice, in his day and age quirkless kids weren’t permitted to apply to UA, either gen ed or heroics. When Nezu got the job, that all changed, but it was a solid decade too late for Yagi.
He’s admittedly a little bitter about it, but he refuses to do anything but his best. He might be a little snippier with Pros than he really needs to be but oh well.
Katsuki and Izuku are utterly enamoured with this crazy vigilante that just doesn’t lose, refuses to back down from a fight even when he’s outmatched, and somehow coming out victorious anyway, rescuing everyone. They have a tense relationship, but often find time to get together and just ramble about how cool All Might is, share theories and dissect his fights. It’s not uncommon for Katsuki to have been hurling abuse at Izuku during class, only to show up at his house after school with a backpack full of snacks and a notebook full of questions.
Izuku knows most of what Katsuki does is to keep his status in the school. If he showed pity to a dumb quirkless runt he’d be painted with the same brush. This doesn’t make what Katsuki has done right! Only Izuku doesn’t blame him because he’s way too forgiving.
Izuku is the smartest person Katsuki knows and vice versa – they are each other’s measuring stick. Katsuki shows Izuku bravery, Izuku shows Katsuki determination.
Episode 1 goes as it does but you see a real flash of regret when Katsuki tells Izuku to jump off a roof because they are kinda-sorta friends. Izuku looks so betrayed. We meet the slime villain like before, All Might saves Izuku and 100% doesn’t expect the kid to fanboy about him and ask for two autographs – one made out to a “Kacchan”.
“Can someone quirkless be a hero?” “The whole world will be against you. Most places won't even give you a shot – no matter how good you are. You’re better off picking something else.”
Izuku is crushed but he does understand. All Might leaves and Izuku trails off kinda hopelessly. He follows the sounds of explosions without meaning to.
It’s Katsuki! He’s dying! Like usual at this point lmao. Izuku rushes in much like canon, All Might shows up, pulls Katsuki free and slams a dumpster on the slime villains head before making a speedy getaway. The police rip into Izuku but Katsuki actually defends him. “You were doing fuck all while I fucking died – don’t knock the only asshole who tried.” Izuku quietly slips him the autograph before running off the scene. Katsuki cries because Izuku got that for him even after he was such a fucking bastard that day? He can’t bring himself to be a dick to Izuku again, even only for show.
All Might finds Izuku and he's like “Sorry I was an ass I was being a dick because I had low self-esteem – I’m quirkless. If you’ll have me I’ll make you into the best hero the world had ever seen
Izuku, obviously, says yes please!
Also, hypermobile Izuku with joint braces as support gear because just let me project please my arms are killing me ( I wrote this a while ago and yes. My arms are still killing me - yes even now). He gets them after All Might sees him miss a dodge because his ankles rolled beneath him. They support his joints beyond the normal range of strength, letting him do some crazy pivots and handsprings, making it easy to support all his weight on a single-arm with very little strain. They can also lock in place, lessening muscle fatigue if he needs to hold onto something for ages and preventing injury if he’s pushing against something. Produced by David and Melissa Shield and imported through Nighteye Heroics.
Is support gear illegal for civilians to own? Yes! But medical equipment isn’t so if you can just convince people its medical not support you can get away with a lot.
Yagi has no weapons himself, other than the random shit he picks up and swings at people, and has little support gear other than a communicator, panic button, and a whole lot of zip-ties.
Izuku should probably have weapons but I’m struggling to think of anything other than war fans because how cool would that look? Because Shonen they would also have the ability to create powerful downdrafts that would give a boost to a jump or dodge.
Probably doesn’t get them until later and needs to train with them.
In this AU, One for All isn’t a quirk. Rather, it’s a role, passed from quirkless person to quirkless person, the only people who can’t be hard countered by All for One. They tend to be vigilantes, crime lords or hero managers, doing their part to foil as much of All for One’s plans as they can, through whatever means necessary.
It’s a role with a pretty high fatality rate.
No one knows All Might is quirkless other than those close to him, they instead think he has a strength quirk. He’s the most prolific vigilante in Japan and is almost as much of a household name as canon All Might. More divisive though, with most people decrying his vigilante status when he could ‘easily make a respectable hero’. He’s also pretty brutal with his takedowns of some villains, leading a lot of people to call him an unregulated brute. Still more call him a villain which, legally he would be - were he using a quirk.
Nighteye is his contact in the heroics industry, gives him loads of inside info that’s typically not something he should be passing on. He’s still close with David Shield. Nighteye imports any costume parts he needs from David and leaves them at various pickup points for Yagi.
He went to college with David in America after Nana died; America having a quirk blind admission process helped - but he’d have gotten shit talked a lot if people didn’t just assume he had a strength quirk. Dude was and is crazy big.
David was one of the only people that knew he was quirkless
OH FOR FUN; Nighteye was also going to this American college and that’s where he met All Might. The three of them became the world’s strangest group of friends and may have lowkey done some slightly illegal vigilante work around the campus and surrounding town. They had a reputation for getting no sleep ever and being the most mismatched set of people
Secretly Smart Jock, Business Man with a Touch of E-boy, Science Hipster. They all tumbled into class together with varying levels of alive-ness. Nighteye and David were very much not morning people.
UA! It’s a ride. Izuku fails the practical but he’s not shocked – he was prepared for this.
He actually got like 30 hero points? But they refused to admit him on hero points alone due to his ‘deficiencies’. They don’t exactly tell Izuku this but Aizawa was there and he was furious.
Gets into 1C with Shinsou, Shinsou fuckin hates him on sight for reasons best known to him (It’s bc he was so god damned cheerful he just – assumed Izuku had a quirk. I love Shinsou but he’s more than a little judgemental). Izuku is like smiling through the pain because he just wanted to make a friend his age – Katsuki barely counts.
He sits with him at lunch and makes friends-ish with the hero kids who dragged Katsuki along, meets Ochaco again. She’s upset he didn’t get in – especially after he tells her he apparently got 30 points. The whole table gets mad on his behalf and hes embarrassed and happy.
Like day 2 he’s leaving gym and someone is like “Oh LMAO it’s Deku – he was in the year below me at Aldera. Only fuckin quirkless kid in the whole school; can’t believe he got into UA.” He turns to Izuku. “Who’s dick did you suck to get in you - ?” And Shinsou just decks him. He grabs Izuku – who is super confused fyi – and s p r i n t s. They have to stop after a while because hes having a panic attack and Shinsou doesn’t know what the fuck to do and he’s mad and upset and the sunshine boy is sobbing –
Aizawa shows up, having seen the (end of the) altercation and is ready to expel some gen ed kids he can’t legally expel – until he sees the two kids from the entrance exam he was interested in – including the quirkless kid who should have gotten in. Well he’s much more willing to hear them out.
100% requests expulsion on those 2 2E kids because that’s Discrimination and they should know better as second years. Nezu grants it because those 2 were di ck s
No USJ because no All Might – stuff like that will come,,, later : )
Sports Fest! Izuku and Shinsou kick ass, Aizawa is Watching. All Might may have gotten in as a crowd member with Nighteye and a visiting David and Melissa and they are cheering on their sun son. Also, Nighteye is going to go cheer on Mirio so he just got a pass to attend all 3 days of the sports festival. He’s just buying snacks on the second day because he’s never talked to one of the second years in his life.
Shinsou and Izuku make it to the tournament. Izuku has been training pretty seriously with All Might for a while now and hes a very good fighty boy. Makes it to the 3rd round of the tournament where he loses to Iida. Shinsou makes it second where he loses to Katsuki. Izuku is like “Iida might you be Ingenium’s brother or something?” “Yes, I am!” “OH MY GOD I LOVE INGENIUM ISN’T HE THE COOLEST” “YES MY BROTHER IS AMAZING” Shinsou is just watching while faintly amused.

Naruto OCS???? Do tell us about them
oh now youve got me started!
i made a post about their history (very general) in this post so ill talk more about their personalities and things that stand out about them cuz i love them
so the tldr is that they’re an off shoot of the uchiha clan from the first great ninja war when yokumo fucked straight off from konoha due to 75% paranoia that turned to 99% paranoia when he left but cant go back now! hed be a rogue nin! so he settles down in the land of grass with Asaro the most best girl character ive ever made. She’s a tailor/seamstress/weaver in this tiny village and she just radiates chill, shes been your mom friend since grade 2 and will continue to be your mom friend until death
yokumo is Stressed and Strict because my dude has the sharingan so when they have three kids (not at the same time hot damn) he decides like any good parent to just refuse to let them use their eye powers at all (note: this is probably not a good parenting tecnique)
tenjo is the oldest daughter and she idolizes her dad so fucking much dude and shes fighty, boy pulls her hair and gets an ass whopping , shes the queen of the village kids but with different leading skills than her mom. she legit saw yokumo use jutsu ONCE and went “oh hell yeah time to be ninja”
yokumo said no
jiyuro is the middle kid and he just vibes dude, hes a normal easy going kid that reaps the reward of being the sibling of the queen of kids, hes also the kind of bastard that can and will use his sharingan to cheat in exams, something he can only pull of thanks to the babiest brother 30 under 30 ninja luminary chiban who cant use the sharingan but damn is that boy neck deep in genjutsu training
chiban put like all his dnd leveling towards genjutsu and some taijutsu so he wouldnt mcfucking die in the middle of a fight in the event that his genjutsu fails. his illusions are amazing tho and real specialised, he can make you believe that those eyes? those red eyes with weird dots in em? yeah totally normal, you didnt see shit. the same with cuts and bruises, dude specialices in detailed genjutsu instead of haha you got caught in a plant or some of the other ridiculus shit naruto characters do
now tenjo gets married not once, not thrice but two times, first time to your local imported bitch boy hatsunaio ha’ame whos playing the longest con in existance aka he “falls in love” with tenjo and gets married, has a kid, all so he can confirm that the clan has the sharingan to report back to konoha cuz that aint right, sharingan outside of konoha and even more sharingan outside a hidden village
fear not tought! imported asshoe gets killed by tenjo with the sweet loot of the mangekyou sharingan and Trauma!
her second marrage is 4-5 years later with drinker of respecting woman juice Tsumashin Aishika who had been a family friend since a bit after ha’ame got what was coming to him. Aishika is super patient and just Kind Man, if only he was stupid and buff he would be a himbo but he’s average and kinda smart so Good Dad will have to do. He likes to read and is a wood worker.
Tenjos kids are a fucking story too, btw hope you wanted a long long post cuz youve really gotten me started now
Renge, the kid she had with Ha’ame, is the oldest and she doesnt remember her dad at all, shes been called a clone of her mom with the fightyness and the “wow cool! need to learn that!” reaction to jutsu. Shes impulsive if shes on her own and the worlds biggest glass canon in a fight because she has trash chakra stores and the impatience to skip on learning to distrobute it properly, she also has the vibration style kekkei genkai (lightning + wind) which just eats up her chakra 
first kid with Aishika is Hotoki whos like her mom but EXTREME, shes the naruto of the kadzuki fam, impatient, a brat and ready to throw down instantly, shes stubborn as fuck and she wants to be the Tsukikage, a position that doesnt exist for a village that doesnt exist in a land that already has a hidden village. her family is supportive tho
last kid is Makuto whos one of only three kids in this clan thats youngler than naruto. his life starts of great by killing his mom with complications during birth giving him absolutly no problems down the road, nope, haha. Hes pretty reserved and likes his grandmas craft better than his grand dads so he takes up tailoring and later pottery, hes a fast learner 100% because of the sharingan
then we have jiyuros wife Pantama Hoshi, shes friend shaped and radiates chill like asaro. they met while team one (aka tenjo, jiyuro and chiban) was out at another town for a mission. shes a gardener and grows medicinal herbs along with real good flowers. theyre by far the most calm parents in the family and basically became foster parents for Tenjos kids once she died so yes, they have two dads. Hoshi can and will support you in anything thats not plain out stupid
Jiyuros first kid is Nishi whos good and cautious, shes the single kid in the budding team 2 that thinks things through properly before doing something, but too much, shes a pesemist, and probably has anxiety, on the upside all of the plans shes involved with goes without a hitch because she provides endless “what if bad thing happens” scenarios, in the downside plans take so much longer because of said what ifs, she specialises in sealing and summoning but really really wants to be a medical ninja because you see what if someone gets hirt! what if renge becomes dumb bitch during a mission and gets hurt because shes a glass canon
the second kid is Takuhi whos the mediating voice of reason that pushes Renge to listen to what ifs and makes Nishi remember that sometimes improv is whats needed during a mission, hes on the cautious until proover otherwise side. He hangs out with Yokumo a lot and is slowly inhereting his paranoia and or world waryness
TIME FOR MY FAVE BRANCH
Chibans family is amazing because i love them, his wife Yamatora Seiho, usually called by her last name, is an ex shinobi from the land of grass (she freaked Tenjo out a bunch after the Ha’ame bullshit went down) thats just so fucking done with the kage and government so she went to do that good good farming cottage core life but shes really not suited for it. shes ready to throw the fuck down at any time but shes also kind to her kids and real serious
she also had a previous marrage that ended in good ol murder (not her killing her husband for once in this clans history) but basically she took her at the time 5 y/o son Usagi with her and Chiban said fuck it join the family instantly
Usagi feels so fucking left out tho cuz he wants to be included in the playing the other kids do but he cant manage to care about that whole ninja thing plus he doesnt have eye powers and just why bother, so instead he goes to Asaro and asks her to be his teacher, he also becomes a barber in the town because my god did Jiyuro really just almost cut his sons ear off???
THEN THE TWINS!!
Hikame and Yorukoi are twin girls and the other two that’re younger than naruto in the clan, theyre 9 when hes 12. They spend their time usually together or with Hotoki and Makoto since Usagi is 13 years older than them and Renge, Nishi and Takuhi are team 2 on missions a lot. Yorukoi really loves animals and looks up to Nishi because holy shit mom she can summon animals with only a lil blood holy fuck meanwhile Hikame likes art and drawing the aimals Yurokoi comes sprinting home to tell everyone she found
The twins and Hotoki will make up Team 3 just as soon as Yokumo lets them because oops a few years ago the whole konoha branch of the uchiha got fucking annihilated and we might be next.com

( mitchell hope, 22, he/him) welcome to san francisco, ASTER SILVERMIST. rumor has it they are a FAIRY, but only they could tell you the truth! when i close my eyes, i think of them and imagine HEART EYES, PASTERIES & CAKE KNIVES.
Tumblr media
to start with, aster is a oofy. he’s really a kind person ya know except he could also be selfish, dopey, and selectively oblivious. he’s a fairy, born and raised in avalon. raised, next to his closest and most dear friend ever elsey. 
he doesn’t know when it happened but somewhere along the way he and ever made a PLAN. they would leave avalon together and go into the human world ( for him, this was like, woah ) and then one day they just did it. 
the human world always fascinated aster but he actually does NOT know much about it. he adapts fairly well ( hah pun ) BUT he also has so so much to learn ( apparently people eat with forks?? ) 
he doesn’t typically think of weaknesses as weaknesses bc he doesn’t think of the world in a fighty way. he’s not one to consider if someone puts a knife to his throat, he just figures they won’t and if they do WELP.
he loves ever so much. leans on him for everything, and knows that if it weren’t for him he wouldn’t have made it in the human world. 
while aster works at interchanging places such as a delly, frozen yogurt store, pet store, and once a barista. ever has a more secure job as a janitor, though he knows his friend doesn’t like to talk about it ( he actually never legit confirmed it but ya know, aster always assumed. why else would he wash his hands so much?) 
he really had NO idea that ever is possessed by vuras?? legit NONE. he always called ever v, and was a bit hurt when other people started too but it was WHATEVER. he really has no clue and still thinks v is his dearest friend. sometimes he has wonders but he always brushes them off. 
tld: he’s a sweetheart but he also is so dumb fairy boi.
UPDATE/APX SEASON 1.
haha some of this did NOT age well. i’m literally eating my words. 
SO HERE’S THE THING. vuras, as ever elsey, presumed ever and aster were dating. this is due to the fact they were living together, sharing a bed, and acting like a couple. so what aster thought was ever finally making a move was v thinking they were a COUPLE. so when v kissed him one day aster was like hello i like this.
the two were remarkably happy together? aster even got a stable job at a bakery which he fucking loves. 
funny thing, one day he walked in to someone attempting to kill his boyfriend and haha welp. stabby stabby stab. he grabbed a knife and WENT for the guy, it was not a pretty sight tbh. but it wasn’t one aster regretted. 
fuckkk he loves his boyfriend so much? even moreso since he got possessed by v. which, ah, funny. cause v comes clean to him about being ya know, a demon, and named VURAS. and aster is like okay then. he likes it that a demon fell in love with him, that it’s special, that they don’t uphold the same moral principles as everyone else.
so that dude he killed to save v? yep, he might have been the first but he wasn’t the last. it wasn’t a taste for it, per say. but aster simply sees murder as the best solution to many problems. his preferred weapons include cake knives and hedge trimmers. 
he has his little sister aidy who is kinda hella crazy (just like him), his father baird who went yeet for most of his life so no resentment there (obviously), his mother daphne who he totally loves with all his heart and maybe harlow? they’re budsish. 
aster is the type of person who knows exactly who’s most important to him. there is a list and he knows it well. at the top is his boyfriend v, and down below is his sister aidy. 
he’s very selfish and doesn’t often take interest in other people though ultimately he’s a fairly pleasant person technically when you don’t include the murdering parts.
tldr: he’s a fairy who bakes pastries and also murders people haha good luck

Marty and TJ rap battle
The FIghty FIght
Words: 2888 and I am so done
AO3 (please let me know what I need to improve)
Cyrus thumbed through the note document on TJ’s phone– his early preview given more because he begged for one than to give any critical input. “This is good, this is good,” he remarked. “I think you’re going to be fire out there. Absolute domination.”
“Okay, buddy. Easy there,” TJ chuckled, but he knew it was true.
TJ shoved his smartphone, in which he poured hours the past week perfecting his rhymed insults, into his back pocket. In an organized rap battle, the guy who doesn’t have his shit memorized is already ten times more lame than the other, no matter how good his lines are.
Cyrus punched his chest weakly, breaking him out of his thought. “I can’t wait to see the look on her face every time I’m gonna finish my baby taters this week, and hand her the check after I’ve finished every last crumb.”
He shook his head at him, then craned his neck over his shoulder to glimpse at their opponents. Marty Thupparty, a track star parallelling his finesse with the hoops, bobbed his head along to something Buffy Driscoll was explaining very firmly. It was probably something useless, anyway. It’s not like either of them had nearly as much experience as he did, which made this pairing an overkill.
The whole thing was Cyrus’s idea, really. He knew TJ rapped, and that Marty rapped, and that Marty was a little afraid of TJ at one point last year, so naturally, he thought a rap battle would be the sickest way to bring them together– a friendship ploy for Marty’s second initiation into the group since his absence from Buffy’s life.
The baby tater bet was to get Buffy involved for even teams. She only agreed to coach Marty if they bet that the losing rapper coach would have to buy baby taters at the Spoon for the winner the whole week afterward.
They were taking it a lot more seriously than he and Marty even were.
“We should get going,” TJ breathed after seeing their opponents start heading away.
The asphalt scorched the flat bottoms of his sneakers as he walked towards the court. It was like the entire world just decided to preheat on itself, he thought, as sweat began prickle his arms and the mass of excited chatter drew closer. He knew he didn’t make the decision to have an outdoor rap battle at three o’clock in the afternoon in June.
At Basketball Court Number Three, a large, but niche, clump of people had come to watch them rap. They had formed a space for both of them in the middle of the circle, in which Marty was already positioned.
“Alright, alright, settle down everyone! They’re both finally here,” announced Jonah Beck as some random little hands shoved TJ from the outskirts to the space across from Marty. There were whoops and shouts coming from directions he couldn’t pinpoint, and some were so close to his ear he didn’t know where to turn.
He eyed Cyrus and Buffy at most inner circle of the crowd and grinned as they playfully nudged each other, keeping fierce looks in their eyes. However, he couldn’t decipher what was going through his opponent’s head. He stood across from him with his hands shoved in his pockets as if he was watching a golf match, his face as flat as a brick as he alternated slight glances with the crowd, Buffy, and TJ.
“Most of you already know, but I’m Jonah Beck. I started walking home from school today, then I saw this crowd and stopped to say ‘hi’ to everyone, and now I guess I’m hosting this rap battle!”
The kids erupted in giggles, but TJ swore he was dead serious.
“On this side…” he stretched an arm out at TJ. “…captain of the Jefferson Basketball team, king of hair gel, and connoisseur of more redemption arcs than I can count– no really, I never learned how to count– my man, ‘True Jank Fruity!’”
TJ stuck his chin up a little higher and smirked. Jonah waited for the giddy chatter and whoops to fade before turning to Marty. “And over here– track star, lover of parties and, I think, country music; he saw me fall on my face once– ‘Eleven Point Yikes’!”
Marty ran his fingers through his dark hair, which was messier than usual. They stood so close that TJ could see his own frowning face in the reflection of his eyes. ”Ready to lose, Kippen?” he sneered.
“You wish,” he shot back.
Smartphones went vertical one after the other, waiting to catch every hard jab and mangled line between the two dogs, their fingers probably already on the ‘post’ button in hopes of garnering the most attention by sharing first.
“We’re doing two rounds, starting with TrueJank,” Jonah announced. “Whenever you’re ready.”
“You say you’re ‘Marty From The Party’ but you’ve never been invited
When I see the pics on Insta, your blurry head looked like I smudged it
You should take advice from pocket lint, maybe then, you’ll get some relevance
I asked who I was battling, they said, “Middle Schooler #100”
It’s 2018 and they really named you “Martin”
Popped you out the womb and remembered their fifty year old accountant
I think I scraped you off the wall last week, now that needed an extra napkin
Four classes with me and you were nameless? Bro, look around. The whole school had that experience.”
The “ohh’s!” loudened after his most powerful lines, preceding a much larger display of fist pumps and hoots (even from the ones he’d bullied) after the verse was over. However, Marty, surprisingly witted for a newbie, hushed the crowd before he could take in the music.
“Let’s get things straight, TrueJank, you sicken me.
You think shitty rhymes make them pity you for an apology?
You’re like the last day of October, all face with no sincerity.
At least the other ex-bullies use their heads, they differ “sorry” from stupidity.
Aw, but, I know you feel bad; got all this baggage weighing on you
You swing at the park because your mind’s got too many issues
But it’s time to skip the angst, skip the coldness and the frown
Your just plain scary, and JMS won’t let you live it down.”
The screams seemed about equal to his.
“So you didn’t make my team. What a surprise.
I know you were out, and you were trying, but you tripped over every painted line!
I’d say go right, like Mario Kart you’d run zig zags like there was squid ink in your eye.  
You got Buffy calling witness protection cause she so embarrassed she let you inside.
Two athletes in a fight, Wit to wit without the fouling.
I throw words, you shoot em back and think “I’ll end him with these similes.”
We running lines in the weight room, spitting verbs where we kick grovel.
From a rapper to a rapper, we playing for different leagues
You couldn’t diss me better than you wipe the dirt off your cleats”
It wasn’t until after spat his final lines that he could focus enough to hear his heart pound. There was nothing more he had to show, but the world seemed to slow as Marty returned with his own final verse.
“Your hoodies upon hoodies got style enough for Fashion Week.
The critics say “eclectic” cause it’s “he-don’t-leave-his-basement chic”.
Runway shots of your ‘do be like White Christmas with the gel that flakes.
Your name says it all, the only fashion show you running is the coach ordered jank from the sports teams.
Yeah, you’ve rapped longer but your rhymes ‘aint unique
Jock, bully, kinda dumb, and lives a trope like a bad movie
Put some shades, baggy shorts, fake chains, and you’ll almost be a rapper
I’m a newbie? Why am I hearing your MTV lines a decade after?
You’re unoriginal.
Your first date hears “Perfect” by Ed and shakes at all the horror.
He sees your cliche ass boombox blaring like you’re Dobler.”
It took a few moments for TJ to register that his mouth hung open. His classmates were breaking into hysterics and patting Marty on the back like he’d just single-handedly fought a war for them and emerged victorious. He could vaguely hear Jonah amongst the crowd declare Marty as the winner.
TJ tried to pick Cyrus out of the crowd, but he couldn’t amongst the blaring amount of chaos. Teeth gritted, he decided he would just wait by the gate.
-
TJ, feeling a little selfless, held his full tray out to Buffy and offered her some french fries.
“No, thanks,” she stopped sipping her milkshake to reply. “I have practice right after this and I’m already stuffed.”
He nodded, and offered the same next to him. “Cyrus?”
His friend shrugged. “Sure, why not?” He set the tray between them and they both dug in for a handful. The calm chatter and occasional sound of the bell atop the entrance door overtook them at The Spoon diner. After a few moments, he noticed Buffy grimacing at him.
“…and Marty?” she pressed impatiently.
Oh, right. He probably wanted to feel included, too. With his lips tightened, he gave the fries a slight push so they slid forward and stopped at the spiky haired boy’s milkshake glass where he’d accept the offer if he wanted. “Take some,” he said simply, and Marty rolled his eyes at him.
Buffy gave Cyrus a look, then turned back to him. “You’re seriously still mad you lost the rap battle?” she bursted, holding back a laugh. “That happened a whole week ago!”
“I’m not mad,” he muttered in reply, focusing very hard on the pedestrian activity outside the window beside them.
“You totally are,” she pressed. ‘You’ve been weird ever since it happened.”
Cyrus sighed dramatically and slumped down with his elbow on the table. “And I really thought my friendship-making plan would work! I guess I can’t fix everyone’s relationship problems.”
Buffy patted his hand lamely. “It’s okay, Cyrus. You’ll get ‘em next time around.”
He and Marty’s tension had been going on since the battle. He was just a little irked that “I’ve-been-rapping-for-a month-Marty” pulled rhymes out of his butt that shanked his bully boy reputation into little pieces. He may have ignored a few of Marty’s texts since it happened, which pushed Marty into ignoring him, and therefore, neither of them hanging out with the Good Hair Crew that week in fear of seeing each other. While their excuses were believable, it was more difficult to get out of plans Buffy and Cyrus made for all four of them after school.
He almost wanted to tell Cyrus that his friendship-plan wasn’t gonna work from the beginning.
“While you were both amazing,” started Cyrus. “Marty, your last line about TJ being so cliche he’d hold a boombox above his head on his first date was hilarious.”
Buffy snorted. “That’s the part people keep sending me videos of. Someone would have to slap me in the face twice if I actually saw you doing that, Kippen.”
TJ didn’t know how to respond and just shook his head playfully. His gaze flickered toward Marty, and while a corner of his mouth tugged up at the look, he broke away quickly and returned to his comfortable frown.
“Listen, TJ,” Marty had his elbows propped on the table and his eyes bordered on desperate. “If you wanna talk, then let’s talk.”
“There’s nothing to talk about because I’m not mad.” He surveyed the contents on his table. “I’m gonna go grab some more ketchup,” he excused himself without looking anyone in the eye.
-
At the ketchup pump, he pushed the lever down with too much force and much of the red blob squirted onto the counter next to his paper container.
There was a snort from someone behind him. “Nice one.”
He almost chuckled, too, but bit it back when he recognized the voice. There’s no way he was staying here alone with him, so he began heading back without a turn.
“Wait, TJ, you can’t just pout and stomp away. You have to tell me what’s really up,” he pleaded sternly.
He glanced at Buffy and Cyrus who were both in some heated debate and didn’t even seem to notice their absence, and before he could process his thoughts, he was face to face with Marty again and had blurted, “The boombox line.”
Marty hesitated, like he wanted to know what he meant, but he couldn’t admit that he didn’t. “Um, what?”
Your first date hears “Perfect” by Ed and shakes at all the horror.
He sees your cliche ass boombox blaring like you’re Dobler.
“The boombox line,” he repeated with a breath. “I thought you said that was your favorite part of our first date– the way I ended it.”
“It was. I always tell you that,” he replied.
“Well, you didn’t have to make fun of it,” he argued. “Yeah, I know we both hated the song and the whole thing was part of an inside joke, but I did it for you to see. Not for the whole school to imagine.”
Marty’s face went red much like the way it did when he held TJ’s hand for the first time at the soccer game, and when he and TJ sprinted down the street filling the sky with their laughs when Buffy and Cyrus almost caught them together, and the Friday they agreed they would go on a date the next day and plan absolutely none of it; thus it finishing with TJ blasting “Perfect” in Marty’s driveway while he cracked up from the second story bedroom window.
They were already calling themselves boyfriends by the time Marty apologized to Buffy and she let him back into their group (which included TJ). They were clueless about the countless dates they had been on since that first.
“Well, sorry, okay,” Marty muttered. “Literally no one suspected it was you and me, though, so you don’t have to be mad. I would never really make fun of you like that.”
TJ’s stomach twisted. He knew he used to scare him before they really talked, but they were countless secret dates past that. “I know. It sounds ridiculous to me now that I’m saying it out loud.”
Marty exaggerated a shrug and put on a dopey grin, showing him that they were okay. “Apology accepted, Kippen. Glad my boyfriend is talking to me again.”
TJ stepped forward couldn’t ignore the smell of greasy foods frying from where they were standing at the back by the kitchen door. He didn’t mind, though, as they were used to meeting in odd locations to talk. “I had no idea you would win, though. I’ve been rapping for so long and you’ve literally been doing it for two seconds!” TJ said through a laugh.
Marty smirked, grabbing his hand and letting it dangle between them. “Maybe I was born with it.”
As his mind ran with ways to banter back, he remembered another one of his problems. “It sucks that Cyrus thinks we’re never gonna be friends,” he commented.
Five weeks was a long time to hide a relationship. In hindsight, they could’ve at least pretended they were friends, but the enemies trope seemed more safe.
Marty rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb. “It does. Even after you rapped about me being as irrelevant as a T.V. show extra and I called you out on your ugly clothes, we still hate each other in their eyes.”
“Their” meaning Cyrus and Buffy. Cyrus was TJ’s closest friend, and Buffy was getting to be Marty’s. After missing Marty all week, he began to wonder how long secret relationships were supposed to last. He caught Marty’s gze flickering over his shoulder at them. “I think we should tell them soon.”
“We should.”
“But how? When?” TJ furrowed his brows, and Marty stared at him like he just suggested that boombox thing from Say Anything was a good idea for a first date.
“Duh, we rap it to them!” he hissed.
Holy shit. His boyfriend’s brain!
“We both wrote awesome verses insulting each other in like a week. It’ll be great!” he continued.
“Four classes and you were nameless? Bro look around. That’s a universal experience.” did have a certain energy to it that would be perfect for a relationship reveal. He was proud when he thought of that while his mother dragged his with her to the bank. He already couldn’t wait or this collab. “I am so in, Eleven Point Yikes.”
“Just let me have some of your fries first, in like, not a passive aggressive way, and then we can start, True Jank Fruity.”
They unclasped their hands to whip their arms around for a painful high five, causing some people to turn their heads. They jogged back to their table, where Buffy and Cyrus already had their necks craned at them, and grabbed the rest of the fries out of TJ’s tray by hand and skipped out the door ignoring their questions. Cyrus probably assumed they made up, but he’d be even happier when they told him in a few days.
TJ would remember to thank Ed Sheeran, or the rap gods, later.

Do you have any headcanons for Todd?? owo
In honour of my smol rat punk son’s birthday today, imma finally answer this!
I feel like @kieren-fucking-walker is the master of Todd headcanons (and we also have a Lot of overlap because we talk every day and have our own like mini canon we adhere too lmao), so rather than going for straight-up Todd hcs I’m gonna gonna for Todd-centric Brotzly hcs because that’s more my specialty!
Todd hates drinking his coffee black but pretends to it like it for the Aesthetic- whenever Dirk makes his coffee he crams it with cream and sugar and Todd only makes token protests because he’s secretly relieved. Todd loves stealing Dirk’s clothes and wearing them- and he will never, ever admit it. Dirk loves seeing Todd in his clothes and will deliberately make them easy to steal. Todd doesn’t understand tea and makes it terribly- unless it’s for Dirk, whom he’s perfectly memorised the ritual for and can make him his perfect tea through scientific precision alone.Todd and Amanda once marathoned the entire extended Lord of the Rings and nearly killed each other (over differing opinions, mostly). He was scared history would repeat itself with Dirk, but fortunately they spent most of the thirteen hours intermittently banging and being cuddly dorks. The closest they got to fighting was when Dirk called him the Gimli to his Legolas, but he had to concede that it was a genuinely sweet observation, even if it was still a definite height joke.As the sole employee of the agency Todd constantly goes on strike for dumb reasons (they’re out of coffee, Dirk won’t stop humming etc.), and usually only ends the strike when Dirk caves to his wishes or they bang it out.Todd can play a Lot of instruments, and Dirk is the only one privy to (and delighted by) the fact that he owns and can play the ukulele.Todd is a human cat and will lie all over Dirk at any moment. Much like any cute cat, Dirk hates to disturb him and will resign himself to being trapped a while. Todd is a fighty boy and if he’s angry with Dirk there’s also at least a 60% chance he’s turned on.Todd has very expressive eyebrows which carry most of his stress, and sometimes when they go scrunchy Dirk will reach over to absentmindedly smooth them out with his thumb. Todd plays Here Comes the Sun sometimes because it reminds him of Dirk. Dirk finds it comforting as a lullaby and will often doze off on Todd’s shoulder.Todd is a needy, subby soft SOFT bottom boy who wants to be looked after and dicked down on a regular basis and particularly loves Dirk for his creative and whimsical ways of doing so; he’s especially fond of his alternative uses for neckties.
