could you do Steven and Connie headcanons of a hybrid s/o with a personality like Luz Noceda?
✧ steven universe and connie maheswaran hcs :
dating a hybrid reader with a personality similar to luz nocedas (gn reader)
Tumblr media
- Your relationship would undoubtedly be a fun and adventurous one, where you both understand one another and cherish each other’s touch
- You two can easily bond and connect over your shared love of discovering new things and your ability to help others — you probably would have met at a volunteering event and immediately clicked!
- Steven was amazed when you told him you’re also part-gem, and that’s another reason why you were both quite comfortable with even when you first met
- After a month of being friends, he realized he started catching feelings towards you. He told Amethyst about it first, because she noticed he was acting weird. It wasn’t long until all the Crystal Gems knew about his crush on you, and they were all excited that he might get a lover
- It didn’t take long for you to catch on either — you usually found yourself asking Steven why he seemed flustered and nervous while his gem family could be seen and heard giggling in the distance
- In an attempt to finally get them to shut up, he admitted his feelings to you one day on the beachside and night, when you two would usually stargaze
- After a few seconds of silence, you told him you felt the same way about him.
- For what felt like years, there was an awkward yet intimate tension between you two. Suddenly, you guys started laughing and he got up and took your hand, and you two danced freely as you felt the cold ocean water at your feet
- Next thing you knew, you two had fused. The Crystal Gems immediately popped out from where they were hiding and were shocked yet very happy for you and Steven
- You’re both curious, brave, and passionate about exploring new things and discovering the mysteries of the world around you, except, you can be a bit clumsy, which makes for some funny memories, but they’re still important to you and Steven
- Your quick-witted and independent nature would complement Steven's caring and empathetic personality, creating a strong dynamic relationship
- Steven just adores your honesty, bravery, and efforts — sometimes when you’re ranting about something you thought was stupid he’ll just grab your hands, pull you close, and say that it’s alright, and that you did what you could, and that’s all that matters
- Albeit your kind and generous personality, sometimes you can be too naive, and let people that you shouldn’t in your circle, but Steven will always have your back in case anything happens — plus the crystal gems!
- He’ll always be there for you, and hopes you’d do the same for him
- In addition to exploring the world and fighting evil, he loves spending quality time together with you, whether it's watching movies, playing games, or just hanging out. He loves the sound of your laughter, it makes his heart flutter — he just really admires you
- Steven also likes when you give him back hugs, mostly on the receiving end, your body warmth against his makes him feel safe and loved, they never fail to make his heart flutter
Tumblr media
- Upon meeting you, Connie is immediately drawn to your adventurous and curious personality. She loves hearing about your experiences as a half-gem and half-human, and is eager to learn more about your unique abilities and gem powers
- As your relationship grows, you both begin to develop romantic feelings for each other. It starts with small gestures, like blushing when you catch each other's eye or holding hands during a scary movie. But over time, you both realize that you're deeply in love
- Since you and Steven were good friends, you told him about it. And soon enough, all the Crystal Gems knew too.
- One day while you were over at his house, Steven and Amethyst said you should totally just go for it, while Pearl told you to be smart and plan it out perfectly. You were freaking out, face red at all the possible outcomes
- You had decided to just go right then and there, and you opened the door to leave, and guess who was there — Connie!
- You froze, she froze, you both became nervous and didn’t know what to say. Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl were just watching you guys, waiting to see what would happen next
- You broke eye contact with Connie, and she said,
“ hey Y/N, um, I was actually just looking for you! could we… talk? “
- You looked up at her again and slowly nodded. The moment you closed the door and went outside with her, Steven, Amethyst, and Pearl immediately looked out the window and eavesdropped
- You two walked towards the ocean waves, feeling the breeze pass you, as the sun was setting. You two slowly turn your heads to each other, and you could feel her gaze soften.
- She brushed her hand against yours, and gingerly held it. You felt your cheeks start to burn up. Everything felt ethereal, and you could have never known for sure what she was about to say until she said it,
“ y/n, I think I have feelings for you. “
- You just had to look deep into her eyes to know she was serious
- Ever since then, you two were almost always by each other’s side
- You both share a love of learning and exploring, and often spend time studying together or going on adventures. Connie is amazed by your bravery and resourcefulness, and admires your determination to use your powers for good
- You both have a passion for art and creativity, and often collaborate on projects together. Whether it's painting, writing, or crafting, you both have a natural talent for bringing beauty into the world
- One time she showed you a beautiful painting of the setting where she had confessed. It was so heartwarming to you that you just couldn’t help yourself and gave her a kiss on the cheek — and on that day you found out those were something that would never make her not melt
- Connie is a bit more reserved and cautious than you, but she appreciates your enthusiasm and willingness to take risks. You help her step out of her comfort zone and try new things, while she helps you think through your decisions and plan ahead
- You face challenges together, from dealing with the pressures of school and family expectations to fighting off dangerous gems. But through it all, you know you can count on each other for support and encouragement. With Connie by your side, you feel like you can conquer anything

Random ask, who are your favorite romantic relationship's couples in any media, like anime/manga, tv series, books, etc (can be canon or non-canon)? Feel free if you want to write the reasons or not of why you love them....
I mean…how much time do you have?😏✨ In no particular order:
1) Zoro x Nami (One Piece)
I‘ve been in love with their dynamics from the very beginning: the navigator and the one with no orientation skill whatsoever. Orange and green. They bicker like an old married couple, but respect and trust each other blindly. It started out with Zoro protecting Nami from Buggy’s crew, her helping him out during fights but I fell head over heels for them once the Arlong Arc came around: he read her like a book and trusted her enough to make a point. That sealed the deal. Then he watched over her while she was ill and from there one I noticed how he always looks out for here, making sure she is safe🥺���� Just ✨They just make sense to me.
Tumblr media
2) Damon x Elena (TVD)
I actually don’t recall when I started to ship them. It must have been slowly, just before the „fake“ kiss happened when Katherine came back, somewhere between their banter and low key flirting. I think I fell for this ship because of the factor Damon. Him being fiercely loyal and desperate to get Katherine back, only to realize she never loved him and then falling in love with his brother‘s girl. AGAIN. The tragedy and the tension whether Elena would fall for him too, made this so fun to watch. The final nail in the coffin was when he told her, he loved her but compelled her to forget. Oh, and of course the dance…
Tumblr media
3) Sookie x Eric (Sookie Stackhouse Novels)
The moment Sookie laid eyes on Eric for the first time and him shamelessly flirting with her in front of Bill, I was a goner. Bill always gave me an ick feeling. I just never understood why Sookie was interested in him apart from the fact that she couldn’t hear his thoughts. In the books there was always a spark when Sookie and Eric met. I liked that Eric was down for anything as long as it involved Sookie (going undercover to an orgy for example), that he was always (brutally at times) honest with her, that he protected and cared for her no matter what. He respected her decisions. There were no silly games between them. As far as vampire feelings for humans go in this universe, I do think he loved her deeply. As for her: she loved him too but also knew that it would never end well. Such a sassy, sexy ship.
Tumblr media
4) Captain Jack Sparrow x Elizabeth
One if my original all-time favourite ships. The sparrow and the swan. I liked their dynamics in CotBP but grew obsessed with them during DMC. Her being restricted by society’s expectations of her and him being the adventurous, clever pirate she had already read about. I mean pleeeeeaaase: the themes alone! She longs for freedom. He and his lifestyle are the definition of freedom. She has a fierce and untamed nature just like the sea. He is in love with the sea. I think Jack brings out her true self just like she brings out his. She matches his scheming talent but I always thought Elizabeth to be more ruthless than Jack. I don’t know what I expected but her ending up alone on an island, married and back in the corset was not it.
Tumblr media
5) Hermione x Draco (Harry Potter)
Another one of my original ships. The muggle born and the son of an old wizard family, who hate muggle borns and are/were loyal to the Dark Lord. The drama, tension and potential storylines with this setup is off the charts. I think I fell for them once the 3rd movie came around. That slap and Hermione urging Hagrid to take Draco to the Madam Pomfrey was pure gold for my shipper heart. I started to get obsessed with them when I read the 4th book and they stumbled upon him during the world cup. I always and forever will read this scene as Draco warning them about the dangers of the Deatheaters disguised behind his typical insults. There were both lines in the movies as well as in the books that always made be believe that Draco might have had a crush on Hermione at some point. I was waiting for a redemption arc in the last book which never happened. I also always thought that Hermione needed a partner who matched her intellect to be truly fulfilled and who appreciated her Slytherin traits (cunning, ambition).
Tumblr media
6) Sakura x Kakashi (Naruto)
So, this is a complicated one. He is 14 years her senior and her sensei. That is problematic. I didn’t ship them when she was a child. BUT: I liked the idea of them, if the circumstances were different (same age or time travel AU). Kakashi seemed to appreciate her intelligence and her talent for chakra control. He never made her feel weak and he always protected her the best he could. During Shippuden his reaction was always shown when Sakura suffered because of Sasuke. And Kakashi looked rather heart broken and sad for her. He watched over her and cared for her during the last battle. The incredulous (at times murdering) look he gave Sasuke when he mistreated Sakura was glorious. His whole mission was to make sure she survived. So, yeah, if the circumstances were different…also the hand on the cheek is canon🥺 Sakura deserved someone who appreciated her love and loyalty.
Tumblr media
7) Claire x Jamie (Outlander)
What I liked about this couple right away (in stark contrast to Frank to whom Claire is married to) was their back and forth, the easiness with which they held conversations with each other and the pure fun they had while doing so. They played off each other without any hassle. Just two people with the same intellect, temper and the same humour hitting it of. This combined with the twist that Claire is the experienced one in all sexual and romantic matters while Jamie is the virgin was absolutely addictive. They just matched. The chemistry off everything that is considered holy.
Tumblr media
6) Hannibal x Will Graham (Hannibal)
At first I enjoyed their strange friendship, which quickly turned into mutual respect. May it be due to the actors or how the scenes between them were written but the chemistry was wild right from the beginning. The classical seduction to the dark side trope with a twist: Will is actually just like Hannibal and fights against the urge to kill but actually understands killing. To him just like to Hannibal it makes sense to kill. It even is beautiful. That dynamic hooked me from day one. The back and forth of their ideals. I think Hannibal was rather quickly aware of his feelings for Will. The fact that Will at first rejected him and his whole being but in the end fell for him as well, was fascinating to watch. Just pure and raw.
Tumblr media
8) Jaime x Brienne (A Song of Ice and Fire)
I love the tropes surrounding this couple: him, beautiful on the outside but ugly inside and her, ugly on the outside but the heart of a true knight inside. Beauty and the best. Their banter and clash of ideals is what attracted me to them (as well Jaime trying to get a reaction out of Brienne with his constant insults and borderline teasing). The way Jaime unknowingly started to grow a soft spot for the wench and slowly opened up to her, losing his hand (his identity as one of the best swordsmen) to protect her virtue all led to the best scene between them: the bath in Harrenhal. I fully shipped them afterwards. It‘s hard to imagine that Jaime had ever been this vulnerable with anyone but his brother before. He keeps on protecting her and she reminds him of his oaths. Just beautiful ✨
9) Buffy x Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
I was so obsessed with them at some point in my life — it wasn’t healthy anymore. First because of the ridiculous sexy way Spike played around with Buffy as his next slayer to kill. He was cunning and dangerous. Later because of how loyal, funny and good he was even without a soul. Him being a hopeless, awkward romantic while Buffy was straight to the point was a fun dynamic. In the later seasons I felt sorry for him because of how he was used and treated by Buffy but at least he got to go out like a true hero.
Tumblr media
10) Beth x Daryl (The Walking Dead)
This was an unexpected one. I liked Daryl as a character but Beth was just a girl in the background who cut her arms. They were pushed together for a few episodes and because their views on life and their experiences were so different, it created this interesting dynamic. Somehow they worked. Daryl helped her get stronger and Beth helped him with how to deal with his emotions. She was innocent. He was rugged and beaten down by life. There was something delicate between them that was never allowed to grow.
Tumblr media
13) Rae x Finn (My Mad Fat Diary)
Just two nerds obsessed with Oasis and each other. Typical teenager drama. Because of her seize and her body and mental issues Rae doesn’t think she deserves Finn or that he is even interested in her. She convinces herself to the point that she gives her v-card to another guy around her body seize. Finn on the other hand has already decided that he likes Rae and is all cute and touchy with her. The cuteness of their relationship and Finn‘s straight forward „Idk what your problem is but I like you just the way you are“ endeared me to this couple. Also Rae is hilarious.
14) Asoka x Rex (The Clone Wars Series)
Another problematic ship due to her being his superior and him being (at least) physically older when they were first introduced to each other. I think it‘s the fact that Order 66 looms on the horizon and all the drama and heartbreak that comes with it, what got me into this ship. Asoka transforms from an insecure padawan who gets her squad killed into a formidable force user and along the way she earned Rex‘ respect. Plus I‘m a sucker for how fierce she gets every time Rex is in trouble/attacked. They protect and care for each other and if they weren’t Jedi and Clone I could totally see them as a power couple.

Omg, the fictional adventure series based on Hector's journals somehow predicting with an uncanny amount of precision his getting together with Darryl and their dynamic although in the books it's portrayed slightly different bc of the much more likable personality of the protag
Not sure what's funnier - if Hector knew the series and how the story developed before getting together with Darryl or if they only learned of those story plots after getting together

Cowards
Being Killian second in command was great, seriously: he was smart, that kinda of clever guy who knew exactly how to explain things without making them sound boring; he was skilled, fighting against him was stimulating and he had taught her many tricks. Not to mention the fact that he was absolutely handsome, and y/n couldn't help herself but noticing it. She had been his right-hand woman for years and the amount of adventure they had shared made them pretty close. Y/n had feelings for him but telling him was out of the question: she didn't want to screw their relationship up.
Killian, on the other hand, was totally in love with her. He had chosen her as second in command because she was clever and practical, her plans were always so precise and well designed and she was a natural with the sword. Talking to her was always a pleasure and Killian felt so understood by her, she had a way to see into him and always make him feel calm. Leaving the Jolly Roger in her hands was easier than how he expected it would have been and that was an important detail.
He really wanted to be honest with her, but she was always so professional and detached and he really didn't know what to expect from an eventual confession. The fact that they were too insicure to be honest with each other, didn't prevent them from slightly flirting: the sexual tension between them was palpable and the whole crew was aware of the fact that there were feelings between them.
"Okay, lazybones, today we're doing something new," Killian shouted, drawing everyone's attention. The whole crew turned to look at him and y/n bite her lower lip: he was particularly handsome that evening. "Captain Blackbeard and his crew are coming on board to discuss business, we'll need backups if we want to defeat Peter Pan." He explained, his eyes shining: the adrenaline of the combat always made him feel excited. Y/n shook her head and smiled while sharpening her sword. Killian looked at her. "What do you think, y/n?" He asked her, her opinion was fundamental to him. She shrugged. "As long as they behave and realize who's in charge, they will be welcomed here. Let's make sure we have enough rum for the night, by the way." She simply said and he smiled, his hand raising his sword. "You heard the lady, move!" He shouted and they all cheered, starting to prepare for the night.
Killian slowly walked toward her and she put her sword back in its case. "I can't believe we're teaming up with Blackbeard." She joked while checking all of the ropes, he put his hands on the deck and looked at the sea. "A common enemy crates unexpected alliances." He wisely said and she nodded while looking at the horizon too. The sea was calm that evening and the sun setting made the sky look amazing. He took a breath. "I want you to be next to me during the negotiations." He said and she nodded, her eyes scanning him. She felt happy and proud at the idea that he wanted her to be present during the discussion of business. "You can count on me, Killian." She said and he turned toward her, his hand gently pinching her cheek. "Sure, you're my best recruit and I..." He stopped, his eyes stuck into hers. He looked nervous. "I need you, y/n." He concluded, his voice a whisper. She smiled and took a step toward him, her body automatically moving. She didn't know what she was about to do, she was just going with the flow. He looked confused, for a second, but he moved toward her too.
Their faces were centimetres away when they heard Blackbeard's voice. "Captain Hook!" He screamed from his ship, his voice raspy. Y/n almost gasped in surprise, immediately taking a step back. Killian cursed inside and rolled his eyes before looking at him. "Captain Blackbeard, please, enjoy me on the Jolly Roger." He said opening his arms. The Captain smiled, his crooked teeth showing. "Crew, prepare the boats!" He shouted and his crew started to move.
A couple of minutes later, the Captain arrived on Killian' ship, his long black beard making him look threatening and his eyes as deep as the ocean. He immediately walked toward Killian. "Hook, for the first time ever, I can say that it's a pleasure to meet you." He said shaking his hand, Killian chuckled and touched his beard. "Aye, there is always a first time." He said and the man looked at y/n: his eyes widened. "And who is this stunning creature?" He asked, his hand grabbing hers to hand kiss her. She was impassible, she was kinda used to the advances; after all, besides her crew who never disrespected her, she was always surrounded by men and they were not always courteous. Killian tensed up. "She's my second in command, y/n." He nervously said, he was irritated.
Blackbeard smiled at her and left her hand. "You look gorgeous, girl." He complimented while bowing, y/n nodded and gave him a smile of courtesy. "Thank you, Captain, let's go discuss business now. We have a trip to Neverland to prepare and no time to waste." She cut him off while walking toward Killian's office. Captain Hook smiled in satisfaction while looking at her, but Blackbeard was even more intrigued. "She got quite a temper, uhm?" He asked and Killian, shrugged. "What can I say, she's a badass." He said and invited his guest to follow him. It was time for business.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The plan was perfect: y/n had thought about everything, as always. Killian was quite proud of how detailed her information had been during the meeting and Blackbeard was impressed as well. "For tonight, we're done. Now, if you want to relax, the banquet is ready and our rum barrels are at your service." She said and opened the door, showing Blackbeard that everything was just ready. He smiled and she bowed before leaving them and go get prepared for the feast. Killian stood up and Blackbeard did the same. "She's smart, very much." He said walking next to him, Killian shrugged. "I choose her for a reason." He simply said and the man laughed. "You care about the girl." He said and put his hands behind his back, Captain Hook panicked for a moment: no one had to know his weak spot, or else they could use it against him.
He dissimulated. "I care about my entire crew." He said and Blackbeard chuckled, his hand now on the tilt of his sword. "I hope you're not going to betray me, or else I'll kill her." He threatened him, his eyes fierce. Killian felt his heart skipping a beat at the thought of something bad happening to his y/n, but smiled. "Oh come one, she doesn't mean that much to me, she's just a smart girl, I need her for professional stuff and that's all," he lied, his hand on his shoulder. "Besides, I have no reason to betray you this time. We can work together." He concluded and opened his arms, Blackbeard nodded. "I suppose so, let's go have a toast." He said and walked toward the banquet. Killian nervously nodded and realized that his heartbeat was slowing down to the normal rythm. What he didn't know was that y/n had just overheard everything he had said from the under deck, she was there to make sure that the whole crew was on deck.
She was disappointed, hurt, even mad. She couldn't believe she had misinterpreted his signals so bad. "How stupid can someone be..." She whispered to herself while kicking an empty barrel away. She ran her hands through her fingers, then she heard the voices from the deck, voices of joy, celebration, and decided to have a good time that night. She quickly stood up and ran upstairs, her legs moving fast to led her to her cabin. She opened her trunk and kneeled down while throwing all of her clothes around just to find the one and only fancy dress she owned. It was at the bottom of the trunk, never worn before but absolutely stunning. She smiled and put it on, then she looked herself in the mirror: it fitted her perfectly, with that tigh silver corset decorated with blue laces and the wide blue skirt. Her y/h/c hair fell perfectly on her shoulder and the long sleeves of the dress made her look like an noblewoman. She smiled, she hadn't seen herself in a dress since years. Killian had bought it for her during one of their adventures but she always refused to wear it, she was more comfortable in her pirate trousers and shirts; but desperate times call for desperate measures, so the time of that dress had finally come. She did a pirouette before leaving her cabin and finally enjoying the crew on the deck.
Everyone just turned to look at her: her crew was not used at all to see her like that, she was mostly the little sister they all felt like protecting and also respecting, and Blackbeard's crew was just mesmerized by her. She was about to walk toward the banquet when she perceived Killian's hook pulling her arm. "Y/n, you look..." He stared at her, his blue eyes traveling to her body and face. She raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to finish the sentence. "Stunning, you look stunning, my lady." A boy completed the sentence. He was standing in front of them, his green eyes looked gentle and his black hair made him look handsome. He had small lips and seamed not older that twenty-five. Y/n bowed and smiled. "Thank you, what's your name?" She sweetly asked, her arm wriggled out to be released from Killian's hook. He was like frozen, partly because he couldn't believe how beautiful y/n was and partly because he was starting to perceive the cold stab of the jealousy. The boy smiled, he had a sweet smile. "I'm Cole, and you are?" He asked, his hand reaching for hers, she took it and Killian looked at him, he was furious.
Tumblr media
"I'm y/n, it's nice to meet you." She said, her voice calm. Killian puffed but Cole smiled. "I know this may sound inappropriate but, I've never seen a girl as beautiful as you, do you want a drink?" He asked and quickly glanced the barrels of rum. She smiled and nodded. "Of course, and thank you, you're not bad yourself. Let's go." She said, but before she could take a step, Killian put a hand on her shoulder and looked at Cole. "Lad, excuse us for a second." He commanded, his voice firm. The boy nodded and left them with a last quick glance at her. She puffed and crossed her arms. "What do you want, Hook?" She brusquely asked, he frowned. "Hook? Since when do you call me Hook?" He asked nervously, she shrugged. "Since you go around telling people you don't care about me." She said and he widened his eyes.
He cursed inside, his hands running through his hair. "Y/n, I was just..." He tried to say but she stopped him. "We got it, you need me for professional stuff, the let me enjoy this night, for fuck' sake." She said before turning and leaving him there. He looked at her, not sure about what was the right thing to do. He was about to walk to her when Mr. Snee ran to him. "Captain, your presence is required now, maybe we know where to find a magic bean but the map is impossible to read, your the one who can do it." He said and Killian bite his lower lip. He looked at her, she was drinking with that Cole and the whole crew was around her, everyone just kidnapped by her charm. How could he blamed them? She really was one of a kind. He sighed. "Okay, but just five minutes, I want to take an eye on y/n." He said before following Mr Snee under deck.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It actually took almost an hour to decode the map. As soon as Killian was over, he rushed upstairs, his head hurting because of all of that coordinates. He immediately saw her: she was sitting next to Cole, another boy on her other side, and she was laughing and telling something while Cole was caressing her knee. Killian felt the jealousy spreading in his whole body and immediately walked to them. "...and then we escaped using fairy dust. Oh, our Captain! Here he is! Isn't he tall and intimidating and all? He is, isn't he? Where is my boot, by the way?" She asked and raised the hem of her dress, she was wearing just one boot; her words were slurred and a glass filled with rum was in her hand. Cole laughed, he was just as drunk as she was.
Killian looked at her and took the glass from her hand. "Okay, party is over for you." He said and she gasped while standing up, her face a mask of fury. She stumbled to keep her balance and Killian took her arms to help her. She slapped his hands away. "First of all, you're no one to tell me what to do..." She said and pointed her finger at him, he ignored her and looked around to see where her other boot was. "Second of all, I'm perfectly capable of taking..." She tried to say, but he picked up her boot and then lifted her too, her whole body moving to wriggle out. "We know, you can take care of yourself." He said walking toward his cabin but Cole jumped in front of him. "Hey, let her go, we were having a good time." He protested but Killian rolled his eyes and moved him aside. The boy stopped him again. "I said..." He tried to say, but Killian put his hook under his chin. "My ears work just fine, boy. Now, move, your good time with her is over." He said and the boy raised his arms in surrender before stepping away.
Tumblr media
She puffed. "You're a party killer." She whispered while he walked in his cabinet. He gently layed her down on his bed and turned to search a blanket. In the meantime, she took off her dress and layed down on his bad. "I found it, is thisOHFUCK!" He shouted and left the blanket fall: she was completely naked in his bed. He quickly grabbed one of his shirt and, without looking at her, he helped her putting it on. She smiled. "Thanks." She said and he sat on the bed next to her and caressed her forehead, she was smelling like alcohol so bad. He smiled looking at her. "You need rest." He said, his fingers gentle on her cheek. She scanned him with her eyes. "I thought you didn't care about me." She said, her voice a whisper. He chuckled and shook his head. "Y/n, you're the smartest person I know, think: why would I have said such a thing to Blackbeard?" He asked, his blue eyes stuck into hers. She raised an eyebrow while thinking, then she widened her eyes. "Revealing a weakness is a dangerous thing to do." She whispered, her lips parting.
He nodded and smiled. "Good girl, this brain works wonderfully when you toss the blind anger aside." He joked and she laughed, her hands covering her face. "I'm sorry." She whispered between her fingers, he took her hand and kissed it. "It's okay, you were just scared that your Captain didn't appreciate you for your value." He said and smiled, she blushed a bit, her eyes getting heavy. "True, but there is another reason..." She whispered, the tiredness invading her whole body. He frowned as to invite her to go on. "I was scared that the person I love the most didn't care at all about me." She finally confessed while blushing. He widened his eyes and looked at her. His heartbeat raced and he felt butterflies erupting in his stomach. "What did you bloody say?" He asked squeezing her hand. She laughed. "Don't mind me, I'm just drunk and in love." She said before finally falling asleep.
He stayed next to her for a couple of minutes, processing what had just happened, then someone knocked at his door. "Captain, the crew wants you, the celebration are not the same without the owner of the house." Mr. Snee voice seamed like coming from far away. Killian ran his hands through his hair. "I'm coming." He said while standing up and placing a kiss on her forehead, the familiar scent of her skin mixed with the smell of rum filling his nose. He smiled placing a blanket over her and left the cabin, his heart filled with hope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The worst headache ever. That's what she had managed to obtain. Y/n slowly sat up on the bed while massaging her forehead. She squeezed her eyes and looked around, then she frowned: that was not her cabin. She moved the sheets away to stand up but someone suddenly opened the door. Killian appeared, a smile on his face. "Good morning, love." He joyfully said and entered in the cabin, she sighed and brushed her hair with her fingers. "Why is my head exploding and why am I half naked?" She asked. He sat next to her and showed her that he was carrying a glass of water. "Here you are." He said and she nodded as to thank him and took the glass.
She drank it quickly, she hadn't realised how thirsty she was untill she saw the water. He chuckled but felt a bit sad, probably she didn't remember her own confession from the last night or was just the rum talking and exaggerating her feelings.. "Let's say, you had a bit of too much rum yesterday. You undressed yourself, by the way." He fooled her around and smiled. She violently blushed while putting the glass down and frowned. "Did I? I remember talking to that boy, Cole, and then..." She tried to say but she noticed that Killian had tensed up. She looked at him. "What's wrong?" She asked, she was purely curious. He shook his head and crossed his arms. "Nothing, it's just, I didn't like him." He said and she raised an eyebrow. "Killian, were you jealous?" She spontaneously asked, he opened his mouth and looked at her. "What? No, absolutely n...", He said but he stopped when she looked away. He took a deep breath and grabbed her hand.
She turned to look at him, she was confused. "I was. I was bloody jealous. I dragged you away from him because the idea of seeing you with someone else makes me lose my sanity," he said, his thumb caressing her hand. He looked at her. "I love you, y/n. I've been loving you for years, I was just too coward to admit it." He said and looked down while letting out his breath. She put a finger under his chin and raised his head, her eyes meet his. "Killian Jones, apparently there are two cowards here," she said caressing his cheek, he smiled. "And even if I was drunk yesterday, I was telling the truth. I'm in love with you, Captain, I've always been." She said and he put his forehead against hers. "You remember..." He whispered, his hand caressing her cheek. "Of course I do." She said before crushing her lips against his.
He kissed her back, his hand cupping under her head and his lips parting. Their tongues meet and she ran her fingers through his hair, her touch delicate. He smiled on her lips. "We wasted so much time..." He whispered, his fingers drawing figures on her bare legs. She shrugged while crossing her arms around his shoulders. "We will make up for the lost time." She said and he smiled, his deep blue eyes scanning her. "You were absolutely stunning yesterday, by the way. You're always beautiful, but that dress..." He said and glanced at the dress, she chuckled. "I should have worn it before if it effects on you that much." She joked and he brushed a lock of her hair behind her ear. "I bought it to you for that reason." He shrugged and she opened her mouth. "You remember." She said, she thought he hadn't even recognised that dress. He smiled. "Of course I do." He said and kissed her again, he never wanted to stop kissing her from that moment on.

Cal Kestis Headcanons that No One Asked For
So I’ve slowly been going through story mode of Jedi: Fallen Order, and I’m about to go to the Fort Inquisitorius so I haven’t even finished yet but I’m absolutely in love with Cal Kestis, so here are some hc about him, romantic and non-romantic.
Tumblr media
SPOILERS FOR JEDI: FALLEN ORDER
Cal x female!reader
You both love it when you play with his hair. The first time was almost an accident on your part, because you were just sitting behind him on the bunk while he’s tinkering with his saber and staring at the back of his head. It’s so red, and you’d honestly rarely seen such a bright color naturally occurring, much less growing out of a human head? Your hand brushed a strand almost of its own volition, and you both just froze. He slowly turned to look at you, and you almost stopped breathing because Did you just mess up did you just fuck up the relationship oh shit shit shit--. And he just whispers, “Uh, could you do that again?” And you’re in such a state of shock and relief that you just scoot back on the bunk and gesture at your open lap. Cere walks in on the two of you later, him dopey and almost asleep with his head in your lap, your fingers running through the silky strands. She doesn’t say anything, even when Greez points out the two small braids that you left at the nape of his neck.
He’s so competitive. Like come on, this man refused to back down from  two or three separate fights against fully-fledged Inquisitors and one insane Jedi Master while he was still technically a Padawan. So he won’t let you beat him. At anything. You’re watering the latest seed that he brought back from a planet? Bam, he’s got Greez’s special plant food and he’s giving every single one of them a five-course meal. If you’re a Jedi, and you’re meditating in the back of the Mantis? You open your eyes after ten or so minutes and he’s right there in front of you, doing that little concentration face that you fell in love with so easily. If you’re a Jedi, you’re evenly matched in almost everything that you do in terms of abilities, and you teach each other where you’re not. Greez is terrified of watching you two spar, because you don’t hold back, but you’re also so equal to him in skill that it’s a whirl of light and blocking known attacks. 
Him and BD-1 were a package deal, but as soon as you were welcomed aboard the Mantis, Cal couldn’t believe how easily the little droid warmed up to you. Of course, BD sticks with Cal and is his right hand man on adventures, but Cal no longer occupies 100 percent of BD’s free time. You refuse to tell Cal exactly where, but you found a spot right behind BD’s “head” where if you scratch it, the droid is on the ground and kicking a leg in the air in happiness. If you’re a mechanic, you can usually be found in the back, tinkering with BD’s processor to make it run more efficiently, or oiling his joints again, or designing new paint jobs for the happy little droid. Either way, you’ve stolen a decent fraction of the droid’s affection, and none of the Mantis crew has any idea how you did it. It’s actually the first thing that urged you and Cal to start spending more time together, and you remember BD’s happy little hops after you’d finally kissed Cal for the first time.
There is absolutely no backing for this, but I think that Cal can sing. Nothing fancy, of course, it’s not like there are vocal lessons available on Bracca or in the Jedi Order, but he can carry a tune. It’s sometimes the only way you can fall asleep on the Mantis, because even though Greez and the crew make it cozy, it’s not home. But as soon as you’re curled up in the twin-sized bunk, and Cal starts humming to you, you’re out before he’s finished the chorus. Sometimes the songs are happy, but they’re often little ditties that he heard from the clones before Order 66, or mourning songs that fellow workers on Bracca would sing during the night when the rain was pounding on the metal and creating a natural rhythm and harmony for the tired mechanics. They’re songs of lost love, fallen brothers, and vague longings for newer, better lives. You fall asleep to his soothing voice, but you often wake with an ache in your heart for the suffering and pain that Cal has experienced and witnessed in his short life.
He’s ticklish. He hates that you know. He hates that you told Merrin, and now she can blackmail him into getting her favorite foods from supply markets. But you love the childish giggles that you’re able to pull out of him when you finally corner him and run your fingers over his neck. Tickle fights always end in make-out sessions.
+18 NSFW under the cut
So... Cal never had the chance to understand wanting intimacy before you, sexual and non-sexual. He was terrified the first time he looked at you and didn’t recognize that strange feeling in his chest. He’d never felt it before, was there something wrong with him? Was he sick? It takes a sit-down with Greez for him to figure out what’s going on, and it’s even scarier than the possibility of illness. Jedi were forbidden to love, it had always been a taboo in his mind, even if he had never had the opportunity to find out what it felt like.
He pushes it away at first. He ignores the flutters in his chest when you’re laughing with Merrin at dinner. He denies the complete shorting out of his brain when he accidentally brushes too close to you while trying to get to your shared bunk. 
He has his first wet dream, and wakes up absolutely throbbing with the memory of the dream that involved you and him and way too little clothes for his repressed childhood. He tries to grit his teeth and go back to sleep, but it’s too uncomfortable, and he can’t get the image of your body out of his mind. Jedi Masters always gave their Padawans the sex talk, and Jaro Tapal was nothing if not a good Master. So Cal knows basically what he has to do to relieve the tension so that he can get a little more sleep. He just doesn’t expect to lose control of himself to the point where he grunts your name when he comes. His heart just about stops when he hears the bed above him creak, and he yanks the sheets over his head until he’s sure that you’re not awake. He gets up early the next morning so that he can clean up without fear of you catching him.
After you get together, Cal is even more scared of the relationship. He had checked with Cere, and though she skews more traditional in her beliefs, she knows that Cal’s trauma and overcoming of it is more than she could hope to understand. Maybe this relationship could bring a stability to his life that nothing else could provide. She cautions him on the power of Dark Side, and how the fear of losing love dragged many great Jedi astray. But she also trusts you, and she knows that you would never do anything to hurt him. She hadn’t missed the lovesick puppy eyes you’d been sending his way.
You start out promising to take it slow. Neither of you had much experience in the areas of relationships and dating, much less sex, so at the beginning, you make sure to clarify that there’s no pressure to rush through anything. It’s mostly just spending more time together, slowly exploring each other. You both learn about each other’s pasts, and spend time talking through the different experiences, rationalizing and comforting each other. Before you even begin to experiment in bed, he’s become your best friend.
When you finally do, it’s short and sweet and perfect for two people who are trying to take their relationship slow. You teach him about what you like, and he gasps out in between moans what feels good and ohhh, what feels even better. 
Okay, a bit of a time skip here, but after Cal’s more experienced, he is a sucker for you riding his thigh. He’s built and strong, so the ridge of muscle beneath you and rubbing against every single spot that sparks delicious warmth in your belly brings you to climax so much more quickly than you could have expected. He loves looking up at you, mouth open and eyes half shut in ecstasy as you chase your high, your heat leaving sticky wetness on his thigh that only serves to make him harder. He’ll grind his leg up if only to hear that heavenly little squeal and whimper that he can get out of you. You’re beautiful to him even on the worst days, but when you’re above him, sweaty and on the brink of coming all over his thigh? Stars, you’re the most glorious thing he’s ever seen, and he rode a shyyyo bird over the untouched forest of Kashyyyk.
Sadcanons. Don’t read if you don’t want sad feels tonight
There is no denying that Cal’s not a whole person at the beginning of the storyline. He definitely regains some of himself back, but there are parts of him that I believe died with the clones and died with Jaro. There are times where he has nightmares, and when he wakes up, he doesn’t want to be with anyone. Even you. He’ll lapse into silence for hours and days at a time, staring at the blank wall while you try to get him to eat or drink something because damnit it’s been days and he hasn’t so much as moved. Your heart breaks at every sign of his damage, because you know that there is only so much you can do to help. This is a journey that he has to complete independently, though it doesn’t mean that you won’t be here for him when he wakes up.
You trace his scars to comfort him. He’s insecure about them, and is terrified of the memories that they bring back. But when you’re there, loving even his jagged edges, it’s all marginally better and he can bear to live with himself a little more.
He comforts you too. Whatever your background, the Clone Wars and the Purge gave everyone a little bit of damage, and you were no different. He holds you when you’re crying, and comforts you after your nightmares. He’ll purposefully pick a happy song to sing when he knows that you’re down, and he never fails to make you laugh through the tears.
His psychometry allows him to understand your trauma better than you could hope to understand his. Before you even allow him to sense your past, you make him promise to not internalize any of it. You know that he would, though it makes no logical sense. He promises. 
Oops I made myself yearn. Now back to our regularly scheduled program of single life. School’s kicking my ass right now, but this made me feel better so I can’t complain too much.
But in all seriousness, I recommend this game 10/10. The Star Wars content is absolutely impeccable, the graphics are gorgeous, it gives me a thrill in my chest to know that every single second is canon. Cal is a beautifully written character, and even though his story breaks my heart, it’s written so well. He doesn’t lash out in anger, rather internalizing his fears and pain in a way that I can relate to, and he’s scarily powerful. It’s a feel good story for me despite the pain, and I’m looking forward to finishing it this weekend!

DATING EXO HEADCANON A⇴Z ⇴  Byun Baekhyun
Tumblr media
A ⇴ AFFECTION
Cuddles are very important to Baekhyun, whilst he might try to play things cool a lot of the time, behind closed doors, he finds hugs very reassuring and comforting in amongst the chaos that his lifestyle brings.
B ⇴ BEFORE DATING
The two of you had met through a mutual friend, and instantly gravitated towards each other. His bright personality caught your attention quickly, Baekhyun made you feel safe and comfortable whenever he was around. He also loved having your company and talked to you a lot about anything that came to mind.
C ⇴ CONFESSION
Baekhyun was terrified to confess his feelings to you, he didn’t want to frighten you off or read the wrong signals. With Minseok’s backing especially, he was encouraged into confessing to you one night when you were visiting. You were able to tell straight away that something wasn’t quite right, pushing Baekhyun until he told you what it was. As soon as he did, you were there to assure him he’d read your signals perfectly.
D ⇴ DATES
He’s another member who often prefers to be at home rather than going out. Dates out of his apartment are rare, but Baekhyun will make sure that they’re special. Instead, he’ll try and arrange plenty of fun things for the two of you to do at his place. They tend to involve games and food, occasions where the two of you can just kick back and relax and be yourselves. Baekhyun is big on special occasions though, anniversaries and birthdays always have to be celebrated by doing something neither of you will forget.
E ⇴ EXPERIENCE
It’s well known that Baekhyun has been in a relationship before, he knows the mistakes he made and is determined not to make the same mistakes with you. He’s nervous to begin with, taking the step back into a relationship is huge, but with your reassurance, he knows it’s what he wants and the right thing to do. It takes a while for Baekhyun to open up publicly about your relationship as he doesn’t want to hurt you, but once he gets the backing of the fans, he’s more than happy to tell them all about you and brag endlessly.
F ⇴ FIGHTING
One of the biggest bonuses of dating Baekhyun is his ability to read a room. If things begin to turn sour between the two of you, he can tell instantly, and will quickly put a stop to whatever it is that is causing the tension. At times it frustrates you how good he is at stopping an argument from happening, but you’re also well aware how much better it is for you both not to start shouting at each other. He will sit and talk through a problem rather than shout, but again, if he senses things are not going well, then he’ll give you a bit of space before trying again when the two of you can talk a bit more easily with each other.
G ⇴ GETTING TO KNOW HIS FAMILY
You heard many stories about his family when you started dating, so you were very excited to mee them, as they were with you. Baekhyun was stunned at how well you all got along, somehow, he ended up being the one pushed aside so that his family could find out as much as they possibly could about you.
H ⇴ HOME
As much as he loved having his own place, he definitely missed the company. Baekhyun was worried about moving you in as he was very tidy and neat. Days slowly turned into weeks when it came to easing you into living with him, before eventually those weeks turned into a permanent fixture of you living with him.
I ⇴ “I LOVE YOU”
You were actually the first to say ‘I love you’ when you noticed Baekhyun having a difficult day. He was unusually quiet, and you were struggling to know what to do to make him feel better, so you decided to open up your heart and tell him how you felt. Best of all, doing that, certainly put the smile back on his face.
J ⇴ JEALOUSY
Baekhyun tended to get jealous quite often if someone else had your attention. He would be able to tell pretty quickly when someone was trying to get close to you or push him out of the equation, quickly putting a stop to it. He’d often be able to tell before you even noticed, so he’d grab your hand and pull you out of the situation. He was a very good judge of character and would be able to warn you about what was going on before you’d even clicked, which was a trait of his that you were very grateful for indeed.
K ⇴ KIDS
He was still very much a big kid at heart, he loved messing around and joking with you. Baekhyun couldn’t wait for the day when he had little ones to entertain and play with. You knew he would make a great dad one day too, it was just about finding the right time. When Baekhyun began talking about kids, it was difficult to get him to stop, he’d often lose himself in deep thought and talk about all his dreams.
L ⇴ LAUGHTER
His playful nature meant you were often laughing around Baekhyun. He loved to try and make you laugh and mess around with you. Tickle attacks were very common from him, if you were having a bad day, the moment he could grab onto your hips he’d attack them. He loved to prank you too, he’d often set traps around the house to catch you out, collapsing to the floor every time one paid off and you began chasing him around the house, promising that one day you’d eventually get payback for all that he did.
M ⇴ MISSING
He’d try hard to not make you worry when he was away and not show you that he missed you, but it was hard on him. At nights, he’d sit for hours with you on the phone and offload about all his worries, and you’d sit and listen. If time zones stopped him from talking to you, he’d turn to one of his members for a shoulder of support whilst he tried to get in contact with you. If the mood between you both got down, he’d quickly try and tell a joke to pick things up again, he hated seeing you struggle with him being away, even though he struggled himself, he’d try hard not to show that side of himself to you, and only allow you to see him smile.
N ⇴ NICKNAMES
Baekhyun loved to call you ‘jagi’ it was a word you heard many times throughout the day, at the start of texts, when he wanted your attention, he’d call it out all of the time so that he was able to find where you were.
O ⇴ OBSESSION
Your laughter was what Baekhyun was most obsessed with. He loved to know that you were happy and enjoying yourself, if you weren’t laughing, he wouldn’t stop until you were.
P ⇴ PDA
He tended to get a bit shy when it came to affection in public, he’d usually hold your hand or the small of your back, but that would usually be it. It was the same in interviews too, he’d answer questions about you, but would never gush about you too much out of fear of doing or saying the wrong thing in response.
Q ⇴ QUESTIONS
Anything that came to mind, Baekhyun would ask you about. He loved to talk about the most random things with you, just to initiate a bit of conversation. It would drive you crazy sometimes the random things that he came out with.
R ⇴ RANDOM FACTS
For special occasions, Baekhyun loves to write songs for you. They’ll never be released, as he loves to keep them between the two of you. He’ll spend hours sat at his piano trying to come up with the perfect song just for you. He’ll always turn red as soon as he shows them to you, his cheeks will be bright red throughout the whole song, but when it’s done, you’ll definitely show him how appreciative you are of it.
S ⇴ SEX
He’s a mess during intimate moments, whilst he loves being close and affectionate with you, it also makes him super shy. He likes to dominate, but it often ends with you being a little more of the dominate one as Baekhyun hides his flushed cheeks in the crook of your neck. Afterwards, he’ll let you know exactly how he feels once the butterflies have disappeared and he can go back to being his usual self.
T ⇴ TEXTS
Baekhyun isn’t a big fan of a text, he much prefers to call you and hear the sound of your voice. If he texts, it will usually be something quick and unimportant, he doesn’t worry too much about you responding quickly either.
U ⇴ UNIVERSE
You were the greatest gift in Baekhyun’s life. He struggled often to sum up how important you were to him, it was a feeling that very few people could understand, but you and he knew, and that was what was important.
V ⇴ VACATION
Baekhyun tried to take you away often, even if it was just a couple of days away in Seoul. Whilst he enjoyed staying at home, he also loved adventuring with you and taking you away so that he could show you how appreciative he was of the fact that you were so understanding of how crazy his life could be.
W ⇴ WHINING
He tended to whine when he wanted something, it was usually when his childish nature would come out to play, he’d go on and on until he got what he wanted.
X ⇴ XXXXX
His kisses are very frequent, if he can feel himself beginning to blush, he’ll often kiss you to distract you or hide his cheeks. Whenever he has his arms around you, it feels natural to him to also have his lips pressing against you. His kisses often very depending on the mood, sometimes they’ll just be light, quick pecks, other times he’ll linger and press against you more powerfully so you can receive as much of his love as possible.
Y ⇴ YOU
You were his best friend, the one he’d always searched for.
Z ⇴ ZZZ
Night-time was usually when the two of you would stay up and talk the most. You’d spend hours some nights just talking about random things, curled up in each other’s arms with your legs intertwined in with each other.

LuNa analysis: Emotional and Intellectual chemistry
This is a special edition meant to help a friend explain this aspect of Luffy and Nami's relationship as potrayed in Oda's works (excludes the anime adaptation). It's no something truly new, it's more like a summary of multiple analyses made in this blog and other places.
The first time we mentioned this particular subject in this blog, the idea was to showcase the difference between "sexual tension" and the concept of chemistry.
Shallow fans sometimes used both terms interchangeably as if they were the same thing. Well, they're not.
Chemistry refers to the natural connection between two persons, a common feeling between two characters that leaves a impact strong enough to move their hearts and stimulate their minds. Needless to say, it's something complex, sometimes subtle, but very appealing.
It's not something tied to sexual attraction, and it's definitively not a mere infatuation. It's something much deeper than that...
However, some popular newcomers to the One Piece community mistake this concept with "dynamic." They may focus on character(s) they grow fond with, and then claim their dynamic is a sign of "chemistry" because of how much they like it.
The "character dynamics" would refer to the way characters work with or against each other within the story. While chemistry is about how the characters bond with each other throughout the story.
But then, how does LuNa showcase actual chemistry? By relying on more than one kind of chemistry.
Tumblr media
We've seen it before, the development of a bond that grows naturally through mutual trust/faith, with the most importat trait being the capability of regulating the partner's emotions.
This kind of chemistry is marked by emotional support producing a remarkable attachment. In such a relationship, the distressed person feels comfortable enough to express their anxiety, grief, and helplessness to their partner because said partner is capable of providing with relief, comfort, and/or hope.
It's probably starting to sound familiar, right? LuNa fans would certainly think of Arlong Park and the pass of the hat, a gesture that provided Nami with the relief and hope she needed to stand up and keep going.
But, we have the moments from Skypiea too:
Tumblr media
When she was overwhelmed by fear and doubts, Luffy does something similar, but this time is to remind Nami that she's the companion of the future Pirate King, and as such, she has nothing to fear. It was so effective that it led to a remarkable character moment from Nami, and her brief skirmish with Enel, in which she drew courage from her captain. That creates enough confidence for Nami to open her heart when there's something troubling her. Remember Water 7? After learning the truth about Robin's desertion, and shortly after missing the train Robin got in, Nami didn't seem distressed at all. In fact, she got up determined and unwilling to give up. But, how did she act when she got the chance to explain the truth to Luffy?
Tumblr media
She and displayed the helplessness, frustration, and sadness she truly felt when she got to Luffy.
A smilar scene plays out when we get to Zou. Sanji was taken away, and while Nami seemed ok and even elated at the fact Luffy and the rest are back, is when she's in Luffy's arms that she once again expresses how helpless and anguished she feels...
Tumblr media
This is how emotional chemistry looks like! It's not about meaningless flattery, flowery words, nor a mere infatuation. It's about growing attached to one another through a strong companionship, mutual trust/faith, offering support/comfort when needed.
Now, true chemistry occurs when characters affect each other in meaningful ways. And Nami also has an effect on Luffy. When Oda wrote the Strong World movie, we get to see how she affects her captain. When Nami got no other choice but leave a message in which she seemingly doubts Luffy's strength and capabilities, Luffy reacts this way...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This shows how much Luffy values the perception Nami has of him.
Another perceptive reader explained the difference between this situation and Ennies Lobby. During that massive rescue mission "Luffy is angry at Robin for not worrying about her own safety." In Strong World, the idea of Nami not believing in him is something Luffy takes personal. And as explained in multiple posts, we later learn Nami never stopped believing in Luffy, and the idea of Luffy hearing about it was pretty embarrassing to her.
Well, what about Intellectual Chemistry?
This is a tricky one, because most people think is having a similar level of intelligence. But, even in real life, it's pretty likely potential partners have different degrees of education, so they're not always going to perfectly click or match in this regard.
Then, how people can develop this kind of chemistry under such circumstances? One of concepts of intellectual chemistry is the capability of challenging each other's perspective and beliefs on subjects and matters relevant to both persons.
LuNa fits the second bit, for the greatest challenge each character's perspective has is the other's...
Tumblr media
...Nami’s character from the very beginning had a very clear distate for pirates and had trouble trusting others. Her perspective served as not only a contrast to Luffy's idealism, but also as a challenge Luffy and his ideals had to actively overcome. This kind of chemistry covers other aspects that, even people who are not fond of LuNa, could see and mention. For example:
Unlike Zoro, Robin, and others crewmates who, more often than not, go along with Luffy's course of action without questioning their captain, Nami is usually the one who challenges Luffy's decisions. It makes sense given Nami's role, as she herself explained in Weatheria...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While Luffy is the one who chooses where to go, Nami is the only one can get him where he wants to go. She seeks to provide Luffy with the  guidance he needs to survive his journey. She’s the compass leading Luffy towards his adventures.
Now, Intellectual Chemistry not only consists of challenging each other’s perspectives, it’s also about openly discussing each other’s ideas with the right mindset, not because you’re trying to win an argument, but as a mean to learn more about your partner, and as a result, you get to better understand that significant person and both parts work together as a team.
In this regard, it's true Nami is one who questions Luffy the most, but  she doesn't actively try to change his mind, instead she attempts to get Luffy to rationalize his choices.  And once Luffy voices out his reasons and/or motivations for doing something, she offers her assitance and full support. We see one example in Skypiea:
Tumblr media
At first, she questions why Luffy is making such a great effort to climb the beanstalk and fight Enel a second time, Nami even urges him to stop and flee with her. She keeps pushing until Luffy clearly states why he's not running away.
Nami could easily run away on her own, but as soon as she understands Luffy’s reasons, she stays, and they’re able to work together to ride the beanstalk so Luffy can finally defeat Enel.
This is not one-sided either. If we go to the Dressrosa arc, we got Nami communicating Luffy her plan of splitting into two teams to keep Ceasar and Momonosuke away from Doflamingo. 
Tumblr media
And Luffy not only fully supports her idea, he even follows it up with a mission for the team that stayed at Dressrosa.
Another possible example could be one particular scene from the Zou arc. Luffy’s original intent was going to rescue Sanji on his own...
Tumblr media
...until Nami reminds him how much he needs her and her navigation skills to keep going. Luffy accepts the reasons she gave him, and alters his original plan accordingly.
We can find other moments to showcase this aspect of their relationship, but to make things short, we can sum it up like this: when their different perspectives clash, they challenge each other’s ideas to the point of gaining a better understanding of each other, and end up acting according to that understanding, they display Intellectual chemistry.
Bonus: Physical Chemistry?
I wasn't going to include this one, but given a japanese fan brought it up ages ago, I decided to leave a couple of scenes that may fit the concept.
Tumblr media
That japanese fan based his comment on Strong World, the movie written by Oda. To make it short, physical chemistry doesn't necessarily means "sex" either, it really comes down to how comfortable a person feels with their partner. However, the details and quirks in this particular kind of chemistry vary from people to people. Just like it can vary from writer to writer.
We often mentioned in this blog certain moment in Fishman Island, where Nami had no problem with Luffy wrapping himself around her...
Tumblr media
...she indeed bickered with Luffy, but it was about Luffy's wanting to venture through a dangerous route rather than their physical closeness. A nice way to show how comfortable she feels around him. In contrast, she doesn't pull any punches, or thunders, when punishing people for pervying around her. Something that remains consitent even in the Wano arc (at least in the original source: the manga) Regardless of whether or not these count as “physical chemistry,” we can still appreciate how Oda crafted a solid emotional chemistry, and intellectual chemistry as well, in the way he wrote Luffy and Nami.

Promo "Liebe Ist Für Alle Da" (2009), Christoph "Doom" Schneider  — Interview by Philip Lageat, 16-11-2009, Nantes (Rock Hard #94)
Rock Hard : With six studio albums in the bag, it must be more and more difficult to establish a setlist. How do you deal with that ?
Christoph "Doom" Schneider : Strangely enough, we take our heads less at this level than in the studio. I am therefore going to surprise you by telling you that this is done as simply and naturally as possible, since we ultimately proceed in a very democratic way : each of us draws up a list of our favorite titles. We then compare the desideratas of each... and the majority wins, provided however that the songs chosen fit well into the show. We did it this time around and it worked really well, since we shared an identical opinion on many songs. Personally, I find that we have found a good balance between old songs and new songs. We play a lot of songs from our last album, Liebe Ist Für Alle Da, which suits me well because I admit that I was fed up with some old titles. I was almost sickened by playing them. So we discarded them, otherwise I think we would have quickly become jaded of the new show. So we had to be careful what we choose, because, given the special effects that we deploy on stage, it is quite difficult for us, after the fact, to make big changes in the setlist. It is that each of us must know precisely what to do, and where it must be, during each song : a misstep, a second of inattention, and you are toasted like a peanut ! (laughs) Anyway, a setlist usually follows you during a whole tour and I'm happy with it which, as I said, seems to me to be a happy medium, a pretty harmonious balance, between old and new songs.
RH : Twenty years ago almost to the day, on November 9, 1989, we witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall. As an East German, do you remember this historic moment ?
Christoph : Yes, I was in town. In the middle of the night, I heard the radio announcing that people were destroying the Wall. It must be said that, for a few days already, the rumor had swelled that this was going to happen. But I stayed home because quite frankly, I couldn't believe it ! (laughs) It wasn't until a day or two later that I crossed the Wall for the first time to go west. At the risk of disappointing, I was therefore not one of those people we saw on TV riding the Wall and destroying it with a pickax or hammer. I remember I was of course delighted, but the shock was such that it took me a while to adjust to this new life : during the first two or three years, I had the feeling of not being able to be part of nothing and of everything at the same time, to evolve in a space of total freedom. To tell the truth, it was an extraordinary period ! In East Berlin, it was chaos. We squatted in houses where we organized huge parties... (smile) There were no rules and a sweet scent of anarchy hung in the air. Musically, we all continued to play with our respective bands and for a while it didn't go so badly. Until we realized that the situation had changed dramatically and that these bands belonged to a period from now on bygone, were from another age. We felt that the time had come to start a new adventure by creating another group. The foundations of Rammstein were laid... From the start, we defined what our sound should be. Very quickly we figured out that even if we rehearse hard, we would never be able to sound like an American band. That's why we tried to create something unique, which really looks like us.
Tumblr media
RH : Do you remember the first concert you saw in the West ?
Christoph : It probably must have been an unknown punk band. But the first big gig I attended was a Red Hot Chili Peppers show at a tiny club. In 1990, it seems to me. They were not as popular then as they are today and did not perform in large venues yet. Before this concert, I had never heard of it. It was a Californian who was squatting at my house who told me that it was a good group and offered to go see it. When I think about it, I wonder what she and I could say to each other, since I couldn't get a word of English ! (laughs) Anyway, we went to this concert and I took a huge slap. Never before have I seen something so exciting ! This is an evening that I will never forget...
RH : Despite multiple internal friction, Rammstein has always kept the same line-up. How do you explain this stability ?
Christoph : Rammstein is only worth the sum of his individualities and their uniqueness. If one of us left, or whoever, we wouldn't be dealing with the same group. Rammstein would no longer be. So, it's true, there were tensions between us during the recording of the last album (see previous interview), but that's how Rammstein works. I believe in these guys... And then we always had a fight every time we set foot in the studio, and that, for any album. It's just that, when we were younger, we were able to find common ground faster because we were less stubborn and had less ego. Maybe we are too stressed out today when we work together, because we know it is going to be a long and painful process. And that, we find it more and more difficult to bear it. But for me that's a good thing, because these tensions are a blessing, in that they sharpen our creativity. Without them we would not achieve exciting results. We only yell at each other over simple taste issues : "I like it, why don't you like it too?". It's just that sometimes we tend to forget about it and take things too personal. At my level, I now tend not to want to impose my point of view if the majority does not think like me. Others, on the contrary, do not get along with age and refuse to give up even the smallest square inch of land (laughs). Hence endless heated discussions. Not to mention that the producer also has an opinion and that we therefore have to juggle the desires of seven people. You should know that for the most of us no longer get along with the producer (Editor's note: the Swede Jacob Hellner who has so far produced all of Rammstein's albums) in terms of choices and tastes. We have not changed, not evolved one iota. We are still able to develop this stupid energy in order to provoke, and I like that because some people expect us to mature with age, that we become more "adult". And here we are shooting a porn clip (Editor's note: allusion to the video for the single "Pussy") ! (laughs) We're still the same kids who, twenty years ago, were overflowing with youthful enthusiasm : "That's going to be a blast. So what are we waiting for ?"
RH : To conclude, do you really sell this box containing Six dildos that we could see on the Net ?
Christoph : (Visibly embarrassed) I have no answer to that question. I think this is more of a joke than a reality... And then who would buy this anyway ? (laughs)

Your villain. Rami Malek au
You really tried to keep your cool, but the sexual tension between you two was undeniable. It was the scene where you stood in a room of an old castle, and he circled around you, saying his monologue. With every step, he got a bit closer and closer to you. You took a few deep breaths to contain yourself and not kiss him right there and then, in front of everyone.
You never saw a hotter villain. He was dressed in all black, his hair was styled in a fancy way and he had that smirk on his face that just screamed “trouble!” You, on the other hand, were dressed in a long green dress. Your hair was curly and loose, with a simple tiara keeping it all together. It was a fantasy movie, but that kind which was not suitable for young audiences. Rami’s character was ruthless and cruel, and your character had to do anything in her power to stop him. But in truth, if it was up to you, you would just stop him by keeping him in your bedroom, tied to your bed.
You both had supernatural powers. You were like light and darkness and because of him, you really wanted to join the dark side. You heard the word “cut!” and the main lights went back on. Everyone loosened up and Rami finally smiled his natural, heartwarming smile.
“I think it was quite good, don’t you think? It really worked this time.” He said, approaching you.
“Oh, yes, absolutely. I think it was our best shot so far. I totally felt it.” You agreed. He smiled, being proud of both of you.
“I hope the director will think the same.” He added, and you chuckled quietly.
“If not, tell him to discuss that matter with your Oscar.” You advised him, and he chuckled as well.
Thankfully, the director liked the scene as well, so after lunch, you could move on to a different sequence. This time it was after you both had been fighting with each other, and now you were on him, holding his hands down with all the supernatural energy power you had, disabling him from using his sword. You were both breathing heavily because the fight sequence was really difficult, it was almost like a very energetic dance routine. You held his hands down with all your strength, trying to make it look believable. You leaned over him and you were supposed to say your lines right to his face, but the longer you looked into his eyes, the further your lines escaped from your mind. You looked down at his mouth. He looked at your lips as well. None of the lines mattered to either of you anymore. You knew Rami thought the same, you felt it. You started lining forward…
“You’re going to like it in hell!” Someone shouted your line to you, to help you out. But at that moment, it was no help at all. It was a simple distraction. You moved your head back, suddenly very aware of yourself and your surroundings. And all the people around you. You felt stupid for doing that, so you asked for a little break, and the director granted it to you, but also warned you to better rehearse your lines. You nodded and went back to your trailer.
You closed your eyes and leaned on the wall. What were you even thinking? And around all those people… You sighed, mad at yourself for your lack of discretion, but you weren’t left alone with your thoughts for long. You heard knocking on your trailer door and rolled your eyes. Of course, somebody wanted something from you. You couldn’t have a minute of freedom in this damn-
“Oh, hey, Rami…” You gave him a fainted smile. He asked if he could come in. “Sure,” you opened the door wider so that he could get in. When he walked right next to you, your heartbeat started to rise. You closed to the door behind him.
“So, I was thinking whether you’d like to practice a few lines from that next scene,” he suggested, and you smiled apologetically in return.
“I’m sorry, I know I was completely rubbish out there, but I promise, I learned my lines. I just… They just… Poof,” you tried to explain, but he shook his head.
“I meant that I had trouble learning my own lines and I’d like to practice so that we don’t have to take another break and piss the director off,” he smiled and you chuckled quietly.
“Yeah, no problem,” you nodded your head and took your script to check your lines for the last time. After that, you began the scene. You pretended to fight, but in a very calm way, so more like showing each other what you would do rather than actually doing it. You didn’t want to break anything in the trailer and get tired during the break that was supposed to serve as a moment to take a breath.
“You’re going to like it in hell,” you said, and it sounded exactly like you wanted it to sound – as if you two were fighting for years and this time it finally came to an end. You sounded as if you were exhausted from trying to bring him to justice; as if that was the only thing you thought about since you started doing witchcraft and after today, you could finally rest. Even Rami was impressed with how you managed to squeeze so much meaning into a single sentence.
“I’m sure I will, after all, I’ve always liked a good company, and you, my dear, are certainly a company worth keeping,” he pretended to break free from you as well as put a knife through your heart and you, with your last breath cumulated all the power to destroy him. And in that last scene, you died, embraced, after years of fighting. You were finally free, not the way your character anticipated, but free nevertheless.
It was weird how easy everything was around Rami when it was just the two of you having fun. When there were no cameras and no eyes judging your every movement.
“Well, if we do it like this, on your next movie people will discuss their artistic differences with your Oscar,” he praised you, and you immediately blushed, because nobody’s compliments counted like his. Thankfully, due to your heavy make-up and bad lighting, he didn’t really see that.
“Thank you. It means a lot,” you admitted, and he smiled at you, at which you smiled back. He looked at your lips again and you involuntarily checked his. Your heart started racing. He leaned forward and… The break was over, as your director shouted through a megaphone.
“Oh, um… Thank you so much for your help with the lines,” you added before you both left your trailer.
“No problem. You were a huge help as well,” he smiled at you, and you loved his smile more every time you saw it.
You did the scene and you did it fantastically. You even got a standing ovation from the crowd around you. After that, you were almost done for the day, you just had to repeat one scene, because the director hoped for such intense emotions as he saw in this last scene. So you did the other scene one last time.
It was your first scene together in the movie, where you two meet for the first time after a long time. He’s heard stories about you being gone, killed fighting evil so he was sure he’s safe from you. You, on the other hand, heard only stories about his atrocities, but him being very much alive, so you decided to come and change that. He spoke your fictional name and you felt shivers going down your spine.
“What an unpleasant surprise,” his character admitted, and your character, technically still a newbie in her profession, held her breath, because for the first time in her life she had to face evil on her own. You looked him directly in the eyes, and he grabbed you by your shirt, initially to shout his character’s opinion of your character’s kind in your face, but this time, it was different and you were surprised with yourself that you didn’t notice it immediately while he planned it.
After he grabbed you by your shirt, for which you were prepared, because that was in the script, came something unexpected, but much more pleasant. He kissed you. Finally, after weeks of you praying for his lips to touch yours, it really happened. Despite none of it being in the script, the director didn’t stop you. He allowed for it, because everybody on set felt the sexual tension rising between the two of you and it was rather annoying, so everybody hoped you could resolve it somehow. The screenwriter considered even making changes to the script to make you lovers in the past, so you can have that kissing scene you two needed so much.
When his lips touched yours, you immediately kissed him back. You put your hands on his cheeks, bringing him closer and he put his hands around you and did the same. The world around you two didn’t matter, because it didn’t exist at that moment. You focused on the kiss and the amazing taste of his lips, how soft and sweet they were. It was passionate, and it finally let some of the tension between the two of you go away, leaving only a nice, warm feeling of happiness. When you unwillingly let go of each other, he smiled at you, petting your cheek with his thumb.
“Thank you, for being the best partner I ever had the pleasure to work with,” he said, and you replied with a smile.
“Thank you for making this movie the nicest adventure I’ve ever been on.”

omg i want to hear about romulan embassy siskarak
WIP ask meme
Omg, yes, thank you for asking, I’m so excited about this one!!!! :D The fic idea appeared to me fully formed as soon as I saw this post by @the-last-dillards about how in a scene cut from “The Wire”, Sisko mentions that he and Curzon were at an embassy on Romulus when Sisko was about Julian's age, and dillards speculated that it would be funny if Sisko and Curzon happened to be there at the same time as Garak was on Romulus posing as a gardener. Most everyone else who saw that post was like "lmao Curzon/Garak <3" and while that is extremely funny too, the Sisko/Garak implications are soooo much more interesting to me personally.
I think Sisko would be an interesting parallel-but-not-quite to Julian. I feel like young Sisko would be similarly bright and passionate and idealistic, which we KNOW is a type Garak is attracted to, but unlike Julian, Sisko would NOT put up with Garak’s bullshit mindgames, he would NOT find Garak inherently charming.
And then there’s Garak, still young, on top of his game, feeling confident and powerful and indestructible (but ultimately just Tain’s pawn... he’s been indoctrinated to love Cardassia unconditionally and hasn’t really had that challenged in any way yet).
They would both find each other extremely grating. Sisko embodies everything Garak hates about the Federation, so Garak would want to take him down a peg, make him sink to Garak’s level. Sisko would be infuriated by Garak’s duplicitous and condescending nature, but maybe Garak also keeps saying things that are juuuust provocative enough that Sisko can’t seem to help arguing back against his points (and Sisko really doesn’t get how that’s somehow turning both of them on...).
So that’s the gist why I’m obsessed with the potential for this pairing during pre-canon in general. Now onto the fic itself! Juuuust in case I never get around to actually writing this, here’s my detailed plan for the romulan embassy siskarak fic:
Sisko and Curzon are on assignment at the Federation embassy on Romulus. The Federation embassy is holding an open house next week. Sisko offers to help cook the food for the event, because he has an idea to incorporate ingredients from other cultures into his jambalaya recipe to Symbolize how cultural exchange can lead to amazing new technological advances and/or art and/or political alliances (or idk, whatever overwrought metaphor an excited young Sisko decides is galaxy brain levels of diplomacy). Curzon's just like “hell yeah, sounds great, kid! go for it!”
So Ensign Sisko (or whatever his rank is at that point idk) asks around at the other embassies nearby for ingredients native to their homeworlds. They give him some recommendations, but he’d have to replicate or import the ingredients. But then he gets to the Cardassian embassy and they have this beeeeautiful garden, overflowing with native Cardassian produce. Sisko asks the gardener there (Garak) if he can possibly use some of the vegetables for his jambalaya of interplanetary diplomacy.
Garak is instantly annoyed by how performative and insipid Sisko’s project is... but Garak knows he has to play nice and hand over the vegetables. He also knows how much he doesn't want sisko rendering these vegetables he's been diligently tending into tasteless inedible garbage that an unrefined Federation or Romulan palate couldn’t possibly even appreciate... So he smiles politely, and offers to show him the proper way to cook it. Tonight. In Sisko’s quarters.
Garak internally justifies this unnecessary dinner date by deciding that it will be a good opportunity to scope out the inside of the Federation embassy. And so what if he’s also getting a little riled up thinking about all the delicious arguments he might have with this headstrong and attractive Starfleet officer? So what if he kind of wants to figure out what he has to say in order break Sisko’s composure? What he can say that would make Sisko, despite his self-satisfied demeanor of peace and acceptance and understanding, angrily slam Garak into the wall hard enough to trigger the pleasurable rush of the implant...?
Meanwhile back in sisko POV... Sisko gladly accepts, actually quite eager to learn more about cooking, and a little curious about this strange Cardassian gardener who seems a little bit interested in him. (He’s not annoyed by Garak yet, because all he’s seen is his mask, his poker face.) Curzon’s taught Sisko everything about diplomacy and how to be a Starfleet officer and how to be a person, and sisko looks up to him in a bit of an unhealthy way. Sisko knows that the easiest way to impress Curzon is to score with an alien. Sisko’s maybe a little curious to see if that’s what Garak is interested in, so that Sisko will have something to brag about with Curzon.
[sidenote: idk where Jennifer is in this timeline (but also the canon timeline of when Curzon and Sisko were off on adventures that included banging twin alien chicks and getting falling-down-drunk together seems inconsistent with the canon timeline of when Sisko and Jennifer met lolll)... anyway, maybe bennifer are on a break bc of the long-distance while he’s on Romulus, and/or bc she maybe doesn’t particularly like the influence Curzon has had on him and they very recently got in a fight about it.]
Okay, so now it’s that night in Sisko’s quarters. For now let’s just gloss right over the (presumably horny as hell) scene about the chopping and stewing and seasoning of the vegetables—during which the arguments (and resulting tensions) between them build and build, from little things like vegetable chopping techniques to the fundamental paradigms of their worldviews and senses of morality—and let’s fast forward directly into the middle of their fight about whether the federation sucks more than the cardassian empire: Garak out of nowhere just starts undoing his shirt while saying something inflammatory questioning the federation’s true commitment to cultural exchange... Garak basically implies that Sisko is a hypocrite who has been arguing for ideals he doesn’t believe in if he doesn’t want to bang Garak RIGHT NOW...
And then they bang, And it’s a mess, and they HATE each other, and it’s really hot. Or at least, that’s the idea. ( @delicatetrashstranger volunteered to help write the E-rated part, for which I am very grateful, lol.) In the end, the weird space jambalaya burns while they are going at it, and everything is ruined and smells terrible, and Sisko doesn’t even WANT to brag about this one to Curzon, because he is not proud of how he let Garak get under his skin. Garak maybe experiences A Consequence of some kind that makes him realize he can’t recklessly throw himself at Federation hotties (like... maybe something Sisko says makes him question a Truth he was certain of, or maybe this fling has jeopardized his assassination plans somehow, or maybe there is a close call where he almost reveals something personal about himself, or almost accidentally leaves behind his underwear, which is where he keeps some of his sci fi Spy Gadgets, lol idk).
The end!
Hope you’ve enjoyed this summary of my fic... I hope I actually write it one day XD (If anyone feels inspired by any aspect of this and wants to run with it, PLEASE DO! Also, if, like me, you desperately Need this fic to exist, feel free to let me know that you’re excited about it! My brain is all garashir all the time, so any WIP that’s not garashir sometimes needs to be helped along by external motivation lol.)

Unfinished Meta #2
WWX is established in the text as observant, making it incongruous that he’d also somehow be at the same time ‘oblivious’
We all know that WWX is a genius and a prodigy, which is not that interesting (how many characters are geniuses and prodigies?). But WWX is not only smart--he’s very observant, which is already more interesting. It is not clear, to me, whether these observation skills come from WWX’s innate abilities, the way his parents brought him up in his early years, the challenges of surviving in the streets, or the result of having to negotiate the pitfall and tensions as a permanent guest of the Jiang household--or even a combination of all these. Whatever the source or reason, WWX’s quick wit and deductive skills is perhaps his most established character trait we get in our first introduction to the character. While the Mo Mansion arc is dense with characterisation (WWX kicking the door with his foot and then throwing the bowl to the side! WWX calling LSZ ‘xiao mianzi’ in his internal monologue 😭), there is a clear bias towards establishing very early this part of his character.
(here I wrote “add quotes” but you can just refer to the meta I actually wrote about the Mo Mansion arc lmao)
WWX is good at reading people, understands how to goad them into reactions or how to diffuse tensions (although is not a master manipulator like JGY or NHS, nor as good of a arbiter as JYL or LSZ). This is made clear even in the earliest memories we see of him, when he angers LQR into throwing him out of class, or angers LWJ into destroying the evidence of the spring book he brought into the Library. We see it in his treatment of other characters; for example, he realizes early on that Jin Zixun is a prideful prat who needs recognition, so WWX purposely pretends to forget his name to antagonise him.
But more often, especially as an adult, his ability to read others and guess their reactions is used to scrutinize them or assess a situation, to make people confess or say something they hadn’t meant to divulge. During Guanyin Temple, until the moment JGY brings up LWJ’s feelings, WWX is very clearly trying to make JGY reveal more about his plan and his past deeds, or trying to find ways to distract him and his goons. Likewise, he sees through JGY’s attempt to do the same (up until the moment he brings up LWJ, at which point WWX is too heartsick and heartbroken not to pursue that line of enquiry, even while knowing it is part of a ruse, of a means to best him), warning LXC against falling for his tricks, and having to witness JC falling hook, line and sinker later on when JGY goads him.
At times, he’ll play-act a character to achieve this goal, as we see in the Mo Mansion arc when he puts on the persona of a lunatic in front of the Lan Juniors so that they will not suspect him of being a skilled cultivator while he assess the situation and finds how to protect them from the unknown enemy. (here it said add more examples of play-acting lmao)
On top of it all, WWX is also established to be well-learned and knowledgeable about the cultivation world and politics throughout the novel, as well as being creative and inventive, coming up with a new branch of cultivation and many devices to help his endeavors, like the zhaoyin flags or the empathy technique.
Being observant and having good deductive skills should not mean however that the character cannot ever be wrong or misled in their observations and conclusions; in fact, most pieces of fiction including such a character will often use the character’s personal or internalized biases and prejudices to make them grow or to shape some parts of the plot; Sherlock Holmes was bested by Irene Adler because of his prejudices against the ‘fairer sex’; Lizzie Bennet, who prided herself on her abilities to read people, was fooled by Wickham both because she mistook his genteel manners for good nature and because she held prejudices against Mr Darcy and was already willing to believe him to be a villain. What is important in these examples is that there is always something that explains, something that contextualises why the observant character came to the wrong conclusion (and how they finally understood their mistakes).
The novel often puts WWX in a situation where he doubts his observation/thinking, and has to face conflicting or contradicting information in order to decide whether or not he’s sticking with his initial assessment or not. For instance, in Chapter 10, he starts questioning whether or not LWJ really is unaware of his true identity after surprising him in the Cold Springs, even he remains uncertain until LWJ tells him so (and then, it takes him a while to figure out how LWJ did realise his identity, but WWX does ultimately figure it out on his own).
He did doubt that Lan Wangji might have guessed who he was. However, the doubt was lacking in both sense and reason. As sacrificing one’s body was a prohibited practice, there were probably not a lot of people who knew about it. The scrolls passed down the generations were most likely partial pieces of the entire work, unable to reach their full potential. Things continued like this, and so there were less and less people who believed in it. Mo Xuanyu only summoned Wei Wuxian by looking at a secret scroll, wherever he found it in the first place. Anyhow, Lan Wangji couldn’t have recognized him just from the awful flute melodies that he played.
He asked himself whether or not he had a heartfelt relationship with Lan Wangji in his past life. Although they had studied with each other, went on adventures, and fought together, all of these experiences were like falling petals and flowing water—coming and going. Lan Wangji was a disciple of the GusuLan Sect, which meant that he had to be “righteous,” quite incompatible with Wei Wuxian’s personality. Wei Wuxian thought that their relationship wasn’t exactly bad, but it wasn’t that good either. The chances were that Lan Wangji’s opinion of him was the same as everyone else’s—being overly wanton and not virtuous enough, it would have been only a matter of time before he caused a disaster. After Wei Wuxian betrayed the YunmengJiang Sect and became the Yiling Laozu, he had a few significant disputes with the Lan Sect, especially during the few months before his death. If Lan Wangji was sure that he was Wei Wuxian, they should have already been engaged in a large-scale fight.
Yet, he wasn’t sure what to make of the current situation—in the past, no matter what he did, Lan Wangji didn’t tolerate anything, but now, even though he used whatever methods he had up his sleeve, Lan Wangji could still tolerate him. Should he be congratulated because of his progress?! [Chapter 10]

Best Equestria Girls/Unconfirmed Couples in MLP
This is once again going to be a heavily biased list. I literally like all these ships the same except #10 but it would be a weird list to have a nine way tie. these couples were either only hinted at in the final season of My little pony, were in the comics, or were from Equestria Girls. They will be ranked on how much of a romance they seem to have.
#10:  Applejack and Rainbow Dash
Tumblr media
There is nothing wrong with these two being a couple, as they are implied to be in the final episode of MLP, I just never shipped them and never found there was any romantic tension between the two, just friendship. The only romantic thing I can think of is from the scene the picture shows where they are friendly bickering about how Rainbow should be allowed to help Applejack with her farm chores.
#9:  King sombra and Radiant Hope
Tumblr media
I love these two so much. Through flashbacks we see how these two met, were the best of friends growing up, and than Sombra falling in love with Hope. Even in his monsterous shadow pony form Sombra wants Hope to be his queen, and Hope still loves him, and when he is turned into a full pony they run off together side by side to explore Equestria finding Amore shards to restore her. Hope risked her safety and her freedom to save Sombra and there love oozes from the pages. However, the reason they are number 9 and not number 1 is because of Sombra’s treatment of her as a shadow pony. He emotionally manipulated her to stay by his side, screamed and yelled at her, threatened her, and kept her basically prisoner in the castle, he changes in the end but that doesn’t change what he did to her.
#8: Flash Sentry and Twilight Sparkle
Tumblr media
They used to be my favourite ship when I was young, they were so cute and I found it funny seeing a blushing embarrassed Twilight, something the normal show didn’t have. However I was like 13 at the time when I watched this and Rainbow rocks for the first time, and have since seen some flaws here. There relationship is sweet in the first film and and you can tell how good of a guy Flash is, and Twilight returns these feeling, and the quick showing of them being at the dance together was adorable, but than Rainbow rocks happens. It is made clear to use that the entire time Twilight has been gone Flash has missed her(so cute) but from the show we know Twilight hasn’t thought or mentioned human Flash or pony Flash since, and continues not to think about him until she literally runs into him, and awkwardly the cuteness fades as Twilight no longer seems to know how to interact with him, which upsets Flash. Than as the sirens work there magic they become increasingly hostile towards each other and don’t really get a lot of screen time together for the rest of the movie, and than they literally never see each other again, but Flash still waits for her to return. In Everfree Forest he starts to move on.
#7: Curly Winds and Wiz Kid
Tumblr media
I don’t know enough about these two to give them a true ranking so they get this neutral spot, but from the images above I’d say they are a pretty sweet couple. And Being LGBT, I always love representation in tv shows.
#6:  Timber Spruce and Sci-Twi
Tumblr media
Sci-Twi was never meant for Flash Sentry, and I’m glad they did not get together, but Timber and Sci-Twi is a different story. He was so sweet to her, and there chemistry seemed natural, and he actually asked her out, something Flash never did, that and the almost kiss. This Twilights reaction to having a crush is different from Princess Twilights, and I love how well she gets along with him. The only reason they are not higher is because he was covering for his sister who planned on doing dangerous and illegal things. That and she’s in high school and he is an unmentioned amount years older who seems to have done this camp at least once before so it could be anywhere from a year difference to six.
#5: Yona and Sandbar
Tumblr media
Oh my god, they are so cute. The episode that first shows hints of a romance between these two is also one of my favourites because Yona is worried that the Pony’s attending the dance (aka Sand Bar who is the one who invited her) will judge her because she does not look, act, or dance like a pony(because she’s a Yak) and she tries to make herself more pony only to make a fool of herself and mess up the dance. However when she runs off Sandbar finds her and comforts her and tells her that he liked her for being herself and that he doesn’t care that she is a yak. He than asks her back to the dance where they spend the rest of the night together. Also they are seen holding hoofs in the big fight at the end, and are seeming living together at  Carousel Boutique.
#4: Hoofbeard and Jewel 
Tumblr media
If you didn’t read the IDW comics you would never know these two, but the mane six go on an adventure with Captain Hoofbeard and try and find his treasured Jewel, but the X on the map keeps moving, in the end its revealed that Jewel isn’t a gem, but a seapony and an old girlfriend of Hoofbeard. He confesses that he still loves her and wishes they could be together but knows that she breaths water and he breaths air, but Twilight uses a spell that gives him gills and some fins. He traveled the ocean, like how Cranky Donkey traveled the land, to find his love again, and faced many dangers to do so.
#3:  Fluttershy and Discord
Tumblr media
I always thought these two should stay friends, especially considering he’s immortal ad she isn’t, but in the later seasons it was impossible to deny the romance forming between the two. Discord loves Fluttershy and gets giddy anytime he thinks about her and has pictures of her, and they have tea parties(dates) every week. For Fluttershy she knows Discord like the back of her hoof and is deeply hurt when he sort of betrays the group in the finally, but before that Angel(her bunny who knows everything about her) while in Fluttershy’s body stated how it was Fluttershy’s wish to MARRY DISCORD. In the finally Discord drops Fluttershy at Twilights and gives her a lunch, implying that they live together and during Fluttershy’s part of the song The Magic Of Friendship Grows, as she sings the line, “And because the love that I feel, For every single living creature is something that is real , Friendship happens so naturally ” Discord comes out of a portal and they stare at each other and se extends her wing out to him as he flies just off screen. The writers say there relationship is up to the viewers interpretation, but they are obviously in love and married by the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImsTS1Kb9ww
#2:  Flash sentry and Sunset Shimmer
Tumblr media
Here’s where the bias comes in. In the first film its said how these two used to be a couple but that they broke up not long before the series because of how bad she used to be, and than its never mentioned again until Everfree where Flash and Sunset have a momment where they confide in each other because they still know each other in ways the other main characters don’t know her. Flash even asks her if she’d like to start over, than awkwardly adds the friends part but its obvious hw they look at each other that there is still a spark there and it will most likely be rekindled soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI5lTaUahfU
#1:  King Sombra and Princess Celestia
Tumblr media
This was the Romeo and Juliet is Romeo and Juliet where literally from other worlds and actually loved each other. This comic pulled at my heartstrings so much that I could never look at Sombra in the TV show the same way again. In this four part series its revealed that before Luna even became Nightmare moon Celestia had been visiting this other Equestria where its ruled by a kind Sombra and the two fell in love and have secretly been visiting each other on and off since. But there travels is ripping the barrier between the two world apart so they can’t see each other as often. In the end Sombra restores the barrier, saving both there worlds, by sacrificing himself by absorbing the evil of the alternate versions of Luna and Celestia, becoming just like Sombra in Celestia’s world. His final act is telling Celestia to leave him(So he won’t do anything he’d regret to her) than on the final page Celestia alone says how much she still loves him, and in his own dimension, despite being evil, admits how he still loves her as well. In the end they are never allowed to see each other again, but there love still transcends dimensional boarders.

the long way home [miya atsumu x reader]
pairing: miya atsumu x fem reader
genre: fluff
warning(s): a swear word or two
word count: 2k
overview: the times when you and atsumu get to walk back from school together are few and far between, so, whenever you get the chance to have each other’s company, you take the long way home. while all of these walks are special, this one ends up being more so than the others.
Tumblr media
As students pour through the front gates of Inarizaki High, desperate to get home after a long week filled with seemingly endless days of mind-numbing lessons, you stand in solidarity at the base of a large tree just outside the entrance. While the shade of its long, twisted branches and green leaves provides you some protection from the warmth of the sun’s rays, there’s a chill in the air indicative of springtime that nudges you into the light every now and then. You tentatively press a button on your phone to bring its screen to life.
Where the hell is he? I swear, if he’s talking to those freakin’ fangirls again, I’m gonna--
"Looks like someone’s gettin’ antsy.”
A facetious comment stated by a familiar voice interrupts your thought and brings your attention to your friend as he saunters towards you with a smug grin on his face. You drop your phone back into a small pocket in your bag and roll your (e/c) eyes at him, feigning denial even though he’d hit the nail on the head, as per usual. It was quite annoying how perceptive he was since he had such a backhanded way of letting people know he was onto them.
“I don’t really like being around here for longer than I’m required to be, ‘Tsumu,” you mumble, gaze traveling upwards to meet his when he comes to a halt in front of you.
With a dismissive wave of the hand, he says, “I know, I know. Here, have some of my drink as a peace offerin’.” 
You glance at the half-full bottle of soda he extends towards you and shake your head. “Gross. I don’t want your leftovers.”
“That’s a shame,” he sighs and twists off the cap, “’cuz it was meant for ya in the first place, but I got thirsty ‘n drank some of it.”
Cocking your head, you rebut, “So, it’s a shame that I turned down a drink you bought for me but ended up drinking yourself?”
He nods at you as he takes a gratuitous swig, making his Adam’s apple bob beneath the tender skin on his neck with each swallow. You must have a look of longing in your eyes without even knowing it, since he removes his lips from the mouth of the bottle with a small pop and dangles it in front of you tauntingly. You hesitate before reaching for it and taking a sip.
His honey-colored gaze remains on you for a long moment before he turns it away to look down the busy sidewalks and streets stretching in either direction. A small chuckle bubbles in his throat upon hearing you fail to stifle a hiccup that slips out of your mouth from the carbonation. Though you know his amusement will be followed by a snide remark of some sort, you can’t hide the smile that spreads across your lips.
This time, however, he spares you the grief and instead suggests, “Hey, I thought ya were itchin’ ta get outta here, (f/n). C’mon, let’s take the long way home. We got a lot ta catch up on.”
Wordlessly, you agree with a nod and fall into step beside him once he begins walking away, starting your indirect journey back to your houses. As the two of you exchange stories about gossip circulating around the school, volleyball practices, and the strange, new teacher who’d just been hired, a familiar sense of comfort washes over you, relieving some of the tension you hadn’t even realized you’d been holding.
It was a feeling that you could derive from very few people, but you seemed to feel it the most whenever you were with your longtime friend, Atsumu. You’re unsure of what exactly it is about him that always brings these feelings of security and ease. Maybe it’s knowing you can talk to him about anything as a result of his familiarity and closeness to you. Maybe it’s the lighthearted nature of your conversation and the warmth of his tone that feels like a serenade after a long day of listening to teachers drone on and on about mundane subjects.
Or, maybe it’s that same thought that’s occurred to you multiple times only to be shunned and shoved into the deepest recesses of your mind the instant it resurfaces--as if even having it in the first place was too dangerous. You want to assure yourself that it’s nothing more than a silly, pipe dream that would fade soon enough, but it was getting harder to ignore each time it made itself known. And, it seemed to grow stronger with distance such as that you’d had from him this week due to your busy schedules.
You don’t even notice that your train of thoughts has led you off course until Atsumu brings you back to the station with a nudge. Suddenly, everything snaps back into focus.
You’re standing in front of the corner store that’s become yours and Atsumu’s old haunt after visiting it time and time again on your after-school adventures through town. To your right, his steady gaze is fixed on you and his thick eyebrows are furrowed in confusion.
He asks, “What’s up? I think I lost ya somewhere along the way here.”
“O-Oh, nothing,” you answer aloud, plastering a smile on your face and making a beeline to the front door of the shop.
Except for the fact that I might be in love with you, your inner voice continues. As you admit this in your mind, acknowledging the feeling rather than rejecting it, you feel the skin on your face prickle with heat.
He’s far from convinced, and he’s at the door in a flash so he can stare down at you inquisitively while you shuffle inside. “Somethin’s up with ya. Don’t know what, but yer actin’ funny all of a sudden,” he murmurs. You swear he’s trying to see into your mind with that laser-focused gaze of his, and you worry that if he keeps it up, you might just confess to him right then and there in the--you take a quick glance around--chip aisle.
“It’s really nothing, ‘Tsumu,” you lie with a dismissive wave of the hand. Before he can grill you on the subject, you quickly change it. “So, what’re we getting from here?”
He leans closer to you as he reaches past you to grab a bag of chips rather than asking you to move and says, "I dunno. Just wanted some snacks. Mind grabbin' a candy bar?"
"Am I gonna be the one paying for it?" you deadpan, crossing your arms in front of your chest and raising a brow at him in spite of the redness threatening to bloom across your cheeks.
He scoffs, “’Course not, princess. I got it.”
You’re quick to turn on your heels and march over to the candy bars another aisle over to keep him from seeing how affected you are by his comment. After taking a moment to calm your racing heart and gather yourself, you join him at the cash register so he can pay for his bounty of snacks. You thank him when he wordlessly drops a small bag of gummy candies into your hand.
He seems to have forgotten your flustered reaction earlier, since he starts yammering on about a fight that he and Osamu got into over who has the best quirk in BNHA, much to your relief.
You should know it’s naive to think he’s moved past it, however, since he never passes up the opportunity to tease you. As the two of you bask in the warmth of the sun on a bench in a nearby park, he brings it up once more.
“So, now that you’ve finished the candy I bought for ya, how ‘bout you answer a li’l question for me in exchange for my kindness?” he suggests, giving your arm a prod with his elbow. The mischievous smile he wears as he moves his head closer to yours makes your heart flutter in your chest.
“I should’ve known that shit wasn’t free,” you sigh, “Whaddya wanna know?”
His grin widens. “You’ve got a crush on someone, don’tcha?” You make no response, so he throws his arm around your shoulders and gives your body a shake, causing your head to sway back and forth. “C’mon! We don’t keep secrets from each other! Who is it?”
“It’s nobody, ‘Tsumu,” you whine as you give him a playful nudge when he moves closer.
He runs his hand through his golden hair and mentions, “Well, that’s a cryin’ shame, since there’s someone who has a crush on you.”
Your response is instantaneous: “Who?!”
“Me.”
The silence that befalls the two of you is deafening in spite of the environmental sounds surrounding you. He watches you expectantly, gaze steady and demeanor exuding confidence, as per usual. After a few seconds pass, you release a rather loud laugh that you try to stifle with your hands.
“You almost had me there,” you manage to speak between heaving breaths.
His air of confidence crumbles instantly, and his face turns bright red. “H-Huh?” he stammers.
“Oh, come on! There’s no way you can expect me to believe that given how much you love taunting me.”
“(F/n)...”
“Nice try!”
He reaches out towards you and places his hand on your shoulder, putting an end to your fits of laughter. When you look into his eyes the color of fresh honey once more, he’s wearing an expression so serious that it almost shocks you--since it was one he usually reserved for volleyball matches. Your heart instantly drops into your stomach and any ounce of amusement you’d previously felt evaporates instantly.
“That wasn’t a joke... was it?” you utter stupidly.
He shakes his head. “I really like ya. Hell, I think I might even be in love with ya.”
Even though the response you should give--and that you’d been waiting to give--is glaringly obvious, you remain in an awestricken silence. During this time, he fidgets nervously and averts his gaze to look down at his slightly scuffed, black dress shoes. His face is growing redder with each second that passes. Feeling his hand retreat from your shoulder instinctively makes you grab it and hold it in your own to keep him from putting more distance between the two of you.
“’Tsumu,” you begin after taking a deep breath to summon your confidence, “I think I’m in love with you too.”
There’s a pause as you each take a second to let the words sink in, but his fingers intertwine with yours and give the back of your hand a gentle squeeze of reassurance. Your eyes travel from where your connected hands rest on your knee up to his once more as he wonders, “So... wanna give this a try, then? I think ya owe me at least one date after the way ya reacted when I confessed jus’ now. Damn near stopped my heart.”
With a giggle and a bright smile that sets his heart racing, you agree. “I guess I could let you take me out on a date.”
Instead of retorting with a smart comment, he wraps an arm around your back and pulls you into a tight embrace, as if he’s been waiting forever to hold you close to him. He nestles his face in amongst your (h/l), (h/c) hair as you press yours into his neck. You collectively let out a small sigh of relief as you enjoy one another’s warmth for another, peaceful moment before pulling away.
There are many questions to be answered, but the first that’s asked echoes from his mouth. “Wanna hang out at my practices every now ‘nd then so we can take the long way home from school together more often?”
Your lips form another, enthusiastic grin as you say, “I would love to.”

hi! can i request some dating and travelling with geralt headcanons? your writing is so good thank you!
I don’t think its that great, but thank you so much for the compliment. Also I’m so sorry for the late response, life happened, and sorry if this is a little bit all over the place. I also tired to make this a gender neutral reader, so if there’s something I missed, please let me know...
Dating and traveling with Geralt would be like...
You were Geralt’s healer because let’s be honest, he gets himself into a lot of trouble (Jaskier adding to it when he was around).
While at first, he didn’t talk to you much, the longer you stuck around and always had his back, he would start to have a massive soft spot for you. 
This took years of traveling together though and a lot of trust building.
That soft spot eventually grew into feelings that both of you shared and one drunken night and a close call, there was a shit ton of sexual tension between the two of you
Also when you two stay in inn’s, you guys share a bed because it’s cheaper
And that night you may or may not have fucked each other
The next morning was extremely awkward 
He didn’t want to talk about it because he didn’t know what to say to you, because let’s be honest, this man does not know how to express his feelings.
You couldn’t take the tension, so you finally admited your feelings for the Witcher because you figured it was better to get it out there and get it over with.
His only response was stopping, turning to you, and then kissing you because he had no fucking idea on what to say, so he displayed his feelings through his actions.
And as they say, after that, the rest was history.
While you had your own horse, he would let you ride Roach with him whenever Jaskier traveled with the two of you and his complaining got too much.
You were also the only other person allowed to touch Roach.
There would be a lot of sex
Sex in front of a campfire
Sex in a lake
Sex in the bath
And of course, sex in whatever inn you were staying at.
Out in the open, the sex would be rougher and at a quicker pace while when you were in a room, he would take his time with you.
He might even put his necklace on you while you fucked because he loved the sight of you wearing his necklace while you were fucked out underneath him.
Just a lot of sex, okay? Okay.
Geralt would normally take up watch when you had to set up a camp, but during those times you knew Geralt wouldn’t be laying down so you could cuddle him, so instead you would lay your head in his lap. It was a win-win situation for the two of you at those times because you got to be close to him and your presence brought a calmness to his normally tense nature.
He’s extremely protective of you because he knows anyone could jump at the chance of hurting you to hurt him.
But he wouldn’t be protecting in an overbearing way, he would just keep an eye on you because the last thing he would want to do is make you feel trapped,
He would  teach you how to fight in case of the event of him not being there to protect you.
If it was just the two of you on the road, there would be a lot of jokes, teasing, and just talking in general.
He was a lot more open, softer with you.
Because he was comfortable around you.
You were his person and he yours.
You were also one that would talk your way out of whatever trouble he happened to get himself in.
When when your words weren’t enough, you had no problem guarding his back.
And he appreciated the hell out of that because someone having his back wasn’t something he was used to.
And it was due to all the hatred and stigma human held towards him for being a witcher that your loving nature towards him surprised and amazed him.
You also had no problem telling someone what was up whenever they acted nasty towards your witcher and while he would try to stop you because he was used to it, the act still made him feel warm inside.
Despite the need for him to hunt monsters and your love of getting the ability to see the world with the one you love, the thought of one day settling down in a quiet place somewhere appealed to both of you.
But you would still be content if that never happened because you loved the adventure and him.
And when the time approached that Ciri would come under Geralt’s care, you treated her as your own.
Geralt taught her how to fight and you taught her how to heal.
The two of you created your own little family despite the abnormal circumstances. 
You were everything Geralt could ever hope for and vice versa.
— ‡ —
I hope you liked this!
Update: My Masterlist is in my bio if anyone wants to check out my other works seeing as Tumblr is being an ass with the tagging system.

winx au: what causes each character to gain charmix/enchantix/gloomix/disenchantix? does Stella get her two at the same time or only progress in one? is her witch form always the basic one? does she ever ise it? do the witches and fairies gain the power ups the same way? does riven ever get one? T (sry bout all the questions)
Okay! So!
Yes the powerups are earned the same way for Faeries and Witches. They are parallels of one another.
Stella does use her Witch Form a few times in the first few seasons. In Season 1, it's mostly a "this form is stronger at Night" deal, but she stays in Faerie most often. She uses it a little in Season 2 because her Faerie Magic doesn't do well underground, being literally Light Based. Her Witch Form isn't the best option, but doesn't drain as fast in darkness. By Season 3, her Witch Form is at an actual disadvantage compared to her Faerie Form so she only really uses it once to make a point. She will have to earn each form seperately when she trains her Witch powers.
Riven wasn't intending to get more Forms, but kinda... Gets them accidentally? Like. In the next chapter of that fic, he's starting on actually working at being able to use his Magic. He'll be caught off guard by Charmix in Season 3. And because Enchantix is earned by confronting some personal stuff, as soon as he does some major character momet he gets that. By Season 5 when everyone else is getting Harmonix/Discordix, him and the rest of the guys are helping them with getting all that so he's just like "well since I'm in on this anyway...".
Charmix/Gloomix is earned mostly by making major progress in actually training your Magic. One could use their Base Forms many times, but actually training and honing their skills would lead to earning Charmix/Gloomix. It's not exactly an entirely new form, just a sign that they're ready to earn Enchantix/Disenchantix.
So the "confronting something personal" plot is moved to Enchantix/Disenchantix instead. Because that makes more sense than "sacrifice your life to save someone from your homeworld" for many, many reasons!
As for how everyone gets their forms!
As said, Charmix/Gloomix happens on it's own and is earned by training your Magic. While Echantix/Disenchantix is "character developmemt". The Winx all get theirs in Season 3, and others get them at various times. I'll start with the Winx though!
Bloom:
Bloom's had a hell of a time finding where exactly she belongs. On Earth, she always subconciously knew she didn't "belong" there. Then she learns about a whole ass world of Magic she does belong to. Only to find that her birth family and homeworld were destroyed. So she feels this disconnect.
She tries to connect to the handful of survivors from Domino. But that makes her feel even more like an outsider because theres a whole planet/culture she doesn't remember. And it doesn't help that Valtor is specifically using this feeling to manipulate her.
Eventually, she comes to realize that she doesn't have to "belong" to some place because she already belongs with her friends and family.
Stella:
Stella has a lot of pressure on herself and tends to ignore her problems by pretending she's not bothered because she should be able to handle all this!
She eventually opens up about all that. Just. Admitting that she is stressed and being reminded that she can rely on the people who care about her.
Musa:
So. I bumped up Musa's mother's death to just before she left for Alfea in Season 1.
Musa has been pretty much running away from facing that for the past two years. Not even going home during breaks from school because it hurts too much to be in her home without her mom.
In Season 3 she gets to meet Galatea and the two just talk about their homeworld. Musa misses it. A lot. But going home means facing all that.
Eventually she does. Having a bit of a breakdown but properly processing the grief.
Tecna:
One of Tecna's issues is that she's... Not good at communicating or interpretating emotions. It's partly on her and partly just that Zenith culture is very blunt with emotions. So she won't understand what someone is feeling unless they say it point blank, but also won't always show what she's feeling outside of saying it out loud(which... Doesn't register to others)
She never realized how much of an issue it is until her and Timmy have tension because of it. Nothing bad! Just that their love languages are very different and both begin to feel unappreciated because of the lack of communication on the emotional front.
It's the decision to actually begin learning that has her earning her Enchantix.
Aisha:
Due to her very isolated childhood, Aisha is still new to having such a large friend group. But she quickly fits in with them. However. Right when she got the group, they seem to e drifting apart.
Not in a bad way, of course! But everyone has their own adventures and subplots this season, which leads to the whole group not always being together. And as they plan for the future and what may come, it's likely that they'll have to go their seperate ways.
Aisha is scared that she'll be alone again. And It's only after voicing these fears and being reassured that even if their lives have them seperate, they'll always be ready to come back together and be friends. They're not going away forever.
Flora:
Flora's insecurity comes from feeling like the weakest of the Winx.
She's not, of course! But... Bloom and Aisha are their main powerhouses. Stella is also quite powerful, and uses both Faerie and Witch Forms. Tecna and Musa have much flashier powers. And Flora is over here with her plants.
Plus. One of their main opponents is Icy. Whose powers are naturally very effective against Flora's abilities.
She begins to feel very useless. Like she shouldn't even bother fighting because what difference would it make?
Eventually, she does kind of snap. And realize 1.) She's not weak and 2.) Even if she was, it doesn't mean she shouldn't do what she can to help.
Darcy:
She actually gets her Disenchantix at the end of Season 1(all the Trix start Season 1 on Gloomix because they're in their third year at Cloud Tower).
It's solidifying that she won't break her morals to obtain her goals, even to the point of fighting against people she loves and fixing her mistakes.
Stormy:
Hers happens off screen because she disappears in Season 2 and shows up again in Season 3. But sometime during this she realizes that her current methods of trying to get anything she wants isn't... Really working. She manages to sort that out but I'm still thinking about all that.
Icy:
Oh boy. My girl has a lot of issues. Especially relating to her mom.
99% of people she meets that know who her mom is either judge her, or want her to pick up where her mom failed. And Icy has internalized a lot of that shit. About having to complete her mom's goals because what else is there for her? If she does, she'll have the wonderful life she was promised way back then. She'll be... Worth something.
Sometime in Season 3 she meets some characters who, despite who her mother was and what Icy has done since then, are willing to care about her. And She's also reminded that Darcy and Stormy did care about her, but she pushed them away for her own goals. And that even the Winx gang are willing to help her get away from... All that.
It's a lot of progress and she probably won't really get Disenchantix until Season 4 when she actually feels genuinely loved for who she is and despite everything.
Riven:
Oh boy.
So. I.... I will go into this more after I post the next chapter of that thing. However!
I will say that his Enchantix is either late Season 3 or sometime in Season 4. And It's a very cathartic, facing childhood truama, "god do you have any idea how much that fucked me up?!" Moment.

Out of the Ashes (Part 2)
Summary: Long before Firelord Ozai ruled the fire nation, before your father died, and the Avatar returned, and fire prince was banished, you and Prince Zuko were once considered best friends. And now, three years after his banishment, you’re reunited and fight on the side of the Avatar.
Pairing: Prince Zuko x Firebender!Reader
Word Count: 4.4k
Warnings: ATLA violence, cussing, angst, fluff!
A/N: The response the first part got is completely insane. At first I wasn’t going to write a part two, but then I saw that this story could continue for one more part. This one is more action packed, but the ending’s fluffy!
Part 1
Tumblr media
Zuko punched the air aggressively, sending blasts of fire in your direction, which you expertly blocked with your arms and split apart with your hands. You did a 360 kick with a grunt, which sent a sharp wave at him. He bended it and sent two sharp jabs in your direction with his hands like blades, and you flipped in the air to get out of the way before punching the air with more fire.
The two of you went back and forth like this in the middle of the courtyard of the Zuko’s old house on Ember Island. The rest of the gang watched in mixed expressions of fear and awe as the both of you attacked each other so ferociously. It was Zuko’s idea of “showing Aang how it’s done” while also getting some good old practice in before Sozin’s Comet.
Of course, it was just a practice session for fun, however you didn’t hold back half as much as Aang did when he trained with Zuko. In the prince’s eyes, it made it that much more fun. He knew you’d never hurt him, and he’d never hurt you, it was like two dance partners with deep trust. But, to everyone else, you looked like you could kill each other at any second, or burn the place to the ground.
“Who do you think’s gonna win?”
“I don’t know, they’re both pretty good, but Zuko’s my master so I feel like I should root for him.”
“My bet’s on Y/N, because female power and I want her to kick his ass.”
“Toph!”
You moved about the courtyard, burning some bushes in the process, and eventually jumping onto the empty fountain and dancing around the edge while keeping at it. The whole time, you both couldn’t help but smile. This was like old times.
“Are they smiling?” Sokka shouted in the background.
At this proximity, you were hardly bending, and just throwing and blocking punches. You moved to shove him, but he grabbed your wrist. You responded with a straight kick to his chest, which completely knocked him off the fountain, and onto his back on the ground.
Your friends around you gasped, and for a second you thought you truly hurt him, until you saw his shoulders shake with low laughter. That’s when you knew the session was over, and you had won. In a real fight he’d never give up and you both could keep going on forever, but that wasn’t necessary. 
You jumped off the fountain just as he sat up, with a hand over the part where you kicked him. You walked up to him and reached out your hand. Based on the tension from your audience, they probably still thought he was going to attack you, but instead he took your hand and you helped him up. With a look at each other, you laughed. 
“You know, in a real Agni Kai, I’d kick your ass,” he said. “I just decided to let you down easy.”
You harrumphed, “Yeah, right. I knocked you down, that makes me the winner. And I’d destroy you in an Agni Kai,” you said before kissing him on the cheek. He smiled softly. 
The rest of the gang got closer to you now, making comments about the whole thing.
“That was equal parts beautiful and terrifying.” 
“Yeah, I almost forgot the two of you were in love.”
“Y/N, you’re officially one of my favorite people.”
***
Your relationship with Team Avatar (as Sokka named it) wasn’t always so happy and comfortable. Being that Zuko had a bad history with them, and you were both fire nation, your journey to helping the Avatar had a rocky start. You had to work your way up from the rock bottom of being enemies.
It didn’t help that Zuko was essentially an emotionally constipated bad guy for three years, and being friendly and nice was not quite second nature just yet. In fact, it resulted in him burning Toph by accident. And you couldn’t exactly help his case, being that you were fire nation, and all they saw you as was another bad guy. Not to mention that every time they attacked him, your natural instinct was to jump to his defense aggressively. 
Luckily, after taking down a guy that Zuko hired to hunt Aang, and the realization that Aang still needed a firebending teacher, the gang agreed to let the two of you on board. Slowly but surely you won everyone’s hearts, even Katara, beside her anger (you before Zuko).
You spent a lot of time getting to know everyone, in and out of adventures. When Zuko had trouble with his firebending, he went to learn from firebending masters with Aang, while you spent time with Sokka, Suki, Katara, and Toph. And when Sokka decided he was going to break his father out of the boiling rock on his own, you and Zuko joined him to assist with your fire nation expertise. Or when Zuko earned Katara’s forgiveness after an excursion to find the man who killed her mother. Needless to say, you all grew closer and for the first time in both you and Zuko’s lives, the two of you had real friends who were genuinely good.
Now, with Zuko following his destiny of being the Avatar’s firebending master, Aang was finally a master of all four elements. If Zuko ever needed you, you helped during sessions, but for the most part you stayed out of the way and let him do his thing. It was his destiny after all, and you were focusing on getting yourself ready for the day of Sozin’s Comet whether it was by practicing your firebending or wielding a sword with Sokka.
***
Aang went missing the day before he was supposed to be fighting Fire Lord Ozai. The day prior to his disappearance, Zuko attacked him aggressively to teach him a lesson, because it seemed to him that Aang wasn’t taking Sozin’s Comet seriously. Come the end of it, both you and Zuko learned that the entire team was planning on holding off the attack until after the comet. They thought it would be easier, until Zuko revealed his father’s plans to destroy the world with fire in order to form a new one. It sent Aang into a panic, and the morning after, he was gone.
You all looked for him everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found, not even the spirit world. The six of you even went to the earth kingdom to hire a bounty hunter named June to use her tracking animal, a shirsu named Nyla, but to no avail. Aang was gone, which meant that there was nobody to defeat the Fire Lord.
The next best thing was to find someone else who could help you defeat Ozai, and according to Zuko that was his uncle Iroh. Using an old sandal, and Nyla’s senses, you followed the trail to Ba Sing Se, and there you found a group of old masters who were part of a society called The White Lotus. At a camp, set up beside the crumbling wall, was where Zuko found Iroh once again.
He was scared to face his uncle, especially after betraying him the last time he was in Ba Sing Se. As you walked up to the tent with him, he clutched your hand tightly, but instead of walking in, he sat down on the floor in front of the entrance. You kneeled down beside him, and put a hand on his shoulder.
“Zuko, what’s wrong?” you asked. “Are you okay?”
“No, I’m not okay. My uncle hates me, I know it,” he uttered somberly. “He loved me and supported me in every way he could, and I still turned against him. How can I even face him?”
You shook your head, “I know Iroh, he could never hate you. I mean, you’re sorry for what you did, right?”
“More sorry than I’ve been about anything in my entire life.”
“Then he’ll forgive you. I know it.”
You truly did.
He nodded, shooting you a grateful smile, before going into the tent. And just like you predicted, his uncle forgave him, in fact, he never hated him at all.
You hadn’t seen Iroh in years, but when he saw you again, he recognized you immediately, and hugged you tightly. He whispered something to you, about being happy that you were back in Zuko’s life, and that you were by his side in all of this. He complimented you immensely, which almost made you cry.
Come the morning, you all gathered around to discuss the plan of action now that Aang was gone. When Zuko suggested that Iroh had to take down Ozai himself, his uncle said that only the Avatar could do that and that you had to have hope that Aang would come back. 
Zuko then suggested for Iroh to take back the throne, but instead, the old man said that someone new had to do it. Someone who was an idealist with a pure heart and unquestionable honor. Seeing what he was getting at, your eyes widened, you already knew who he was talking about before he said his name: Zuko. 
It was obvious, of course it had to be Zuko. He had the biggest heart of anyone in the fire nation that you knew, just like his mother. He had changed so much over these years, and learned so much. He may not have believed it at first, saying that he made mistakes, but just as Iroh said, he made mistakes and followed on his own path. He restored his own honor, and he can restore it to the fire nation.
“I’ll try, uncle,” he said.
The plan was laid out after that. Aang had to face the Fire Lord. Iroh would take back Ba Sing Se. Sokka, Suki, and Toph needed to stop the fire nation airfleet. And Zuko had to go back to the fire nation to assume the throne once his father was taken down. 
Of course, Azula would be there, and although he’s fought his sister before, his uncle insisted that he couldn’t take her down alone. Of course, you’d never let him go alone regardless, so when he looked at you in question, all you said was,
“You know I’m in.”
Then, he turned to Katara and asked, “How about you? We could use a waterbender on our team.”
She looked surprised, but then smiled deviously. “It would be my pleasure.”
You both exchanged nods and devilish smirks from afar. With the two of you alongside Zuko, you’d be formidable. Azula didn’t stand a chance, but you wouldn’t go so far as to underestimate her, ever.
***
Sozin’s comet loomed overhead as you, Zuko, and Katara rode on the back of Appa, heading over to the fire nation. You could feel the strength in your inner fire grow stronger. You could feel it in your breath and in your gut, it was like a burst of energy, stronger than you’d get on the sunniest day in the summer. 
The three of you arrived just in time to interrupt Azula’s coronation. To your surprise, there were very few people there. Both you and Zuko had expected something extravagant for Azula’s day, but you were proven wrong, and that was the first sign that something was off with the fire princess.
Zuko jumped down from Appa, directing his speech at his sister.
“Sorry, but you’re not going to become Firelord today. I am.”
She laughed mockingly at him. “You’re hilarious.”
Both you and Katara joined Zuko’s sides, glaring up at the princess.
“And you’re going down,” Katara said.
The other signs that Azula was not herself, you noticed, were when you were standing before her then. Her hair was up in a messy bun, and she had cut some bangs that hung unevenly over her forehead. There was also something off about her demeanor, she seemed manic, unkempt, which wasn’t like Azula. She was terrifying, but she always managed to be put together...until now.
She looked between all three of you, the cogs working in her mind.
“Wait,” she held up a hand to the priest that was about to crown her and stood up in her robes, “You want to be Firelord? Fine. Let’s settle this. Just you and me, brother, the showdown that was always meant to be - Agni Kai!”
You clenched your jaw. You had to know something like this was coming. Azula was smart, she knew there was no way to fight the three of you off, so she was challenging Zuko to a one on one. He was strong, but you had a bad feeling.
“You’re on,” Zuko responded without hesitation.
Both you and Katara looked at him in disbelief.
“Zuko, no,” you said. “She’s playing you, don’t you see?”
“She knows she can’t take us all so she’s trying to separate us!” Katara whispered sharply.
“I know, but I can take her this time.”
“But even you admitted to your uncle that you would need help facing Azula.”
He shook his head, “There’s something off about her. I can’t explain it, but she’s slipping.”
Even he could see it. You peered over at Katara. “He’s right. I’ve never seen her look like this.” You looked at Zuko again, “But Zuko-”
He put a hand on your shoulder. 
“This way, no one else has to get hurt.”
You were wary, but you respected his decision. At least, you and Katara would always be there on the sidelines in case he needed any help. You just hoped it wouldn’t come to that.
***
Zuko and Azula stood on opposite ends of the courtyard, while you and Katara stood on call. Azula rid herself of her coronation robe, and raised her hands, almost as if she was drunk.
Yeah, there was something off.
However, that didn’t stop her from unleashing a giant wave of cool blue fire at Zuko. In response, he released his own burst of red-orange, and the two crashed against each other before dissipating. From then on, it was a deadly duel between siblings, with Sozin’s Comet in the background, their fire was ferocious.
The entire time you were on the tip of your toes, drumming your fingers against yourself as you had your arms crossed. Katara’s blue eyes were wide with worry the entire time. The fire reflected within both of your eyes.
Until, suddenly, Zuko sent a fan of fire at Azula, knocking her completely to the ground. Her hair came out of it’s knot, dark locks cascading over a feral expression as she peeled herself up from the floor.
You had a feeling in your gut that pulled you towards the courtyard, and Katara followed without question. The both of you stood behind Zuko, on either side, ready to jump in at any second.
“No lightning today?” His voice echoed around the place. “What’s the matter? Afraid I’ll redirect it?”
Through pants Azula threatened, “I’ll show you lightning!”
Using the tips of two fingers, she traced a path in the air, and out of them she conjured the crackling blue lightning. It flashed around her menacingly. Zuko took a deep breath and prepared himself to take the hit and redirect it, a trick that Iroh taught him when they were on the run.
She looked at Zuko, then at you, but you knew how to redirect lightning too, Zuko had taught you back on Ember Island. But then, she looked at Katara, and smirked. She was the only one who wasn’t a firebender, the only one who wouldn’t stand a chance against lightning. And with a second’s notice, Azula put her hands together and directed the lighting, straight at Katara.
You gasped, and bolted towards Katara to try and push her out of the way, but Zuko had already acted quicker than you. With a cry, “No!” he jumped right in front of the crackling bolt and took the hit square in his chest. His body fell limp to the ground before your very eyes.
Fire turned to ice in your veins, and the scream that erupted from you echoed through the courtyard. “Zuko!”
“Zuko, no!” Katara shouted.
Zuko twitched and moaned on the ground, the electricity still coursing through him, but it indicated that he was still alive. But for who knows how long. You both ran towards him, but Azula stopped you short with a strike of lightning a few feet in front of you.
You glared at the fire princess, who laughed maniacally, having clearly lost her mind. The ice in your veins melted and gave birth to raging fire, to pure unadulterated fury. You could feel it in your lungs, your belly, your fingertips. You may not have her lightning, but you could still take her on.
You exhaled through your nose, and a puff of fire came out of your nostrils. You raised your hands, ready for your own Agni Kai.
“Heal Zuko,” you said to Katara. “I’ll keep her busy.”
You lunged in Azula’s direction and punched a burst of red-orange fire at her. To no surprise, it was met with her own blue flames. She threw a bolt of lighting at Katara, which the waterbender dodged, and you took the opportunity to attack the princess from the side. She fell out of balance and rolled out of the way with a gasp.
When she got back up, she growled like an animal.
“Nice haircut, Azula,” you teased. “Did you get left with the kiddie scissors again?”
She kicked at you with a scream, and sent another blue burst, and you laughed as you flipped through the air and attacked her. She jumped onto the roof with the help of her bending, and you followed suit. You continued to fight, back and forth. And you noticed she didn’t bother using her lightning with you. She must have known you’d redirect it too.
You looked over at Zuko, who was regaining himself on all fours, with Katara by his side. Still weak, but hopefully better.
“Awww looks like poor Zu Zu doesn’t look so good,” Azula cackled.
You sneered at her and unleashed hell from your hands, she did the same.
Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed a huge wave coming towards your position on the roof, right at Azula. The princess’s eyes widened, before she grunted and flipped off the roof, out of its way. And now, her attention was directed at the waterbender, once again.
Azula chased her with her blue flames as Katara bended the water to freeze and carry her around to safety. You jumped off the roof and ran after the fire princess, trying to help Katara as much as you could. Zuko limped towards you, and you barely had time to register it when Azula gained on Katara amongst the pillars. 
“There you are, filthy peasant.”
You and Zuko jumped behind Azula, but then everything after that happened in a blur. Azula took a step towards Katara, who attacked her with tentacles made of water. And when Azula got back up, ready to attack the brunette, Katara used her hands to raise the water from grates underneath them, and froze the both of them in midair in a frozen wave.
She slowly unfroze herself, leaving Azula in the ice, as she wrapped the chain around her hands.
Zuko’s shoulder brushed next to yours, drawing your attention to him. With a gasp, you put your arms around him, maybe a little too excitedly. You couldn’t help it, because for a moment there you thought you had lost him.
“Zuko, you’re okay!” you breathed.
“Ow,” he hissed when you made contact with his body.
You pulled away with an apologetic gringe. “Sorry, sorry, sorry.”
He chuckled, “Hey, it’s okay.”
You put an arm around him and let him put his weight on you.
When he looked over your shoulder, his face went serious. You followed his gaze, and saw as Katare chained Azula to the grate now that the ice was fully melted. Before you knew it, Azula was unable to move no matter how much she struggled.
Katara ran to the both of you, and with your free arm you took her in a tight embrace.
“That was brilliant,” you complimented her with a smile. “I literally couldn’t have done that.”
She giggled, “Thanks. You did a pretty amazing job out there too.”
“Thanks. For healing Zuko, too.”
Zuko nodded. 
“It’s him I should be thanking. I wouldn’t be alive right now if it weren’t for him.”
Your sentimental moment was interrupted by the grunts and screams of Azula. You all turned towards her and watched as she struggled against her restraints, screamed,  cried, and spit out fire. Tears cascaded down her cheeks. She was like a rabid animal that had been chained.
Your hold on each other tightened. You looked up at Zuko, who had a sad look in his amber eyes while regarding his little sister. She may have been crazy, but they grew up together and you knew he still had love for her deep down. 
***
Before any of you knew it, the war was over. Aang didn’t kill Firelord Ozai, but with some insane Avatar abilities that nobody knew existed, he took away his bending. With that, the Firelord was powerless and put into a cell just like his daughter. Ba Sing Se was given back to the earthbenders, and the world wasn’t burned to the ground. And on top of all that, Zuko was to become the new Firelord.
You were incredibly excited for him, and you could only imagine how he felt. Having grown up with two Firelords who’s mentality was ancient and blinded by the need for power, you couldn’t have imagined anyone better to start a new era for the fire nation and the world. For the first time in years, you could see yourself in support of your nation and your ruler.
And it so happened that the ruler was your boyfriend.
***
It was the day of Zuko’s coronation.
Your eyes took in every inch of the walls of the palace halls, a place that was so familiar and held so many memories, good and bad. You hadn’t been in over three years now, having sworn never to come back after Zuko’s banishment, but by some miracle, you were. 
You were also in a dress for the first time in forever. It was a deep ruby red, with patches of maroon, with a v-neck line, sleeves up to your elbows, and a long skirt, all trimmed with gold accents. You dressed up for Zuko, not that he would’ve cared what you wore to his coronation anyway, but if there was anyone you dressed up for it was him.
You looked for him now, eager for a word with the prince, the future Firelord, your boyfriend, before all of this. He’d get swallowed up in meetings after this for sure, not to mention he’d be living in the palace once again. You had him back, but you didn’t know how often you’d see him. But then again, you were the Firelord’s girlfriend, which meant your future could hold bigger things.
When you found him, he was standing by the large red curtains that were opened up to give view to the balcony overlooking the fire nation. So many of the buildings were destroyed now, it looked unrecognizable.
Zuko was putting on his robe, or at least trying to. With the injury he acquired from Azula’s lightning, it was clear he was still in pain, and any major movement only made it worse.
He grunted as he slipped one arm through a sleeve.
“You need some help with that?” you said.
His head snapped up at the sound of your voice, and when he whirled around, his eyes lit up at the sight of you. The way his face softened made you want to melt, and when he noticed what you were wearing his eyes widened even more. Your face got hot. You weren’t sure if you’d ever get used to that...in a good way.
“Y/N, you’re here!”
“Of course I am. I can’t miss your coronation.”
You strode up to him, your heeled boots clacking on the floor. He met you halfway. Immediately you gently helped him put his other sleeve on, and tied the sash around his waist. 
“I like your dress. You look beautiful.”
You giggled, “Thank you. My mom picked it out. She said I had to look good now that I’m dating the Firelord.”
He chuckled at that. When you finished helping him, you rounded around so you were standing in front of him and kissed him. He kept you close with one hand on your back. When you stopped kissing him, you wrapped your arms around his waist carefully, embracing him. He rested his chin atop of your head and sighed happily.
It felt nice to finally have a moment like this, at peace. There was no more war, no more barriers between your love. He was yours...but how yours?
You craned your head up to look at him and ask him a question.
“Now that there’s no war and you’re going to be Firelord….what does that mean for you and me?”
You had a feeling what the answer was, but you wanted to hear it from him.
“Uh,” he rubbed the back of his neck nervously, “Well, I mean, I was hoping that uh...I don’t know....you’d be there with me?”
“With you...like how?” you smiled playfully.
“Like...you know….me the Firelord, and you...the Fire Lady.”
The Fire Lady being, the Firelord’s wife. It was such a huge concept, you could barely wrap your head around it.
“Us, ruling together,” he added.
Your pulse quickened as you smiled brightly. He had already envisioned a future with you, it wasn’t even a doubt, and it just made you love him more.
Zuko sputtered, thinking that he was freaking you out. “That is, of course, when you’re ready. And if you want to. It doesn’t have to be now, but I mean I can’t imagine anyone else-” You stopped his ramblings by putting your lips to his, kissing him once again. He let out a surprised noise before melting against you.
“I’d love to be your Fire Lady,” you said when your noses grazed.
His eyes lit up again. “Really?”
“I mean, I expect a proper proposal when the time comes, but yes.”
He nodded, “Deal.”
You hugged him again, but this time you stayed there for a little while longer, in each other’s warmth, until it was time for the coronation, and a new era of the fire nation began. An era that you were happy to be a part of.
