LOTR Music Headcanons
Every time I see a TikTok edit of LotR I think of this
Sam: Sam is a Swiftie all the way, waited five hours to get in line for Eras Tour tickets. His favorite album is Fearless closely followed by Folklore. He also likes bluegrass music but is not ashamed of his Taylor opinions. Before the quest he tried to hide it from his dad, but afterwards shamelessly plays it all the time.
Frodo: Frodo definitely went through an emo music phase as a teenager MCR, Death Cab for Cutie you know the works. He also secretly loves ABBA and other disco music and eighties stuff like Kate Bush and Pet Shop Boys and Madonna. Was not initially a Swiftie but Sam got him into it and his favorite album is Speak Now.
Merry: Merry likes old folk music from the sixties (Bob Dylan, Joan Baez etc). Of course being the massive stoner that he is, he also loves reggae and has been accused of cultural appropriation by Frodo every time he mentions wanting to grow dreadlocks. He definitely has the massive Bob Marley weed poster on his wall. He also can jam out to heavy metal any time.
Pippin: Pippin has the most bubblegum pop taste and mostly listens to top 40 but if you asked him who is favorite artist is he would say with a hundred percent confidence Weird Al
Gandalf: Gandalf mostly listens to podcasts but he surprisingly likes rap music a lot and also classic jazz
Aragorn: Aragorn doesn’t listen to music unless its live, he has no idea what headphones are and if he did he wouldn’t use them because they prevent him from being vigilant.
Boromir: Boromir likes military marches and things sung by the bards of Gondor. He also loves country music and will only play the country station. Despite their different tastes Merry and Pippin will loudly sing along with him in the car to the top country hits
Gimli: Gimli of course loves hard rock (get it?) but he also loves anything with a bagpipe. He likes music that mixes genres and has good percussion.
Legolas: Legolas is also a pop girly but pretends to be interested in only classical music to be a snob but he once got kicked out of a Charlie XCX concert for trying to sneak back stage. He and Gimli have no overlap in music taste which drives Aragorn crazy when in the car with them because they continuously fight over the aux.
Eowyn: Eowyn of course loves feminist punk music. She also likes dark female country music and southern murder ballads sung by women. Currently she is on an Ethel Cain kick.
Arwen: Like Aragorn she prefers listening to live music, mostly like relaxing stuff like the shit you hear in yoga class. She likes chill pop.
Faramir: Faramir likes emo music and indie rock and discusses these in depth with Frodo. He also likes world music and loves salsa and takes Eowyn on salsa dates every month.
Bilbo: Bilbo of course loves old Elvish ballads and his own compositions he doesn’t really listen to anything he isn’t singing or someone he is likes is singing.

(springboarding off this post: i started writing a tag essay and then a reblog essay and then partway through quoting a large section of the hobbit i began to genuinely feel bad about derailing a fun post into *gestures* this shit, but unfortunately my single brain cell decided this was the only thing we were gonna think about all day.)
i think... the original post is tapping in to an acute dissonance in property-law-intuitions between these groups, and i think the dwarves would definitely have been inclined to take the feanorians' side. but i don't think the dwarves, or at least the dwarves of the third age, would be *confused* about it - this is (allegedly) the whole issue at the heart of the nauglamir business. they've had to deal with it too. (allegedly because we only have the narrator's word for it, but whatever*)
ignoring all the extraneous description/assumptions about motives: the stated argument of the dwarves in claiming the nauglamir is that thingol has no personal claim or connection to it. the dwarves gave it to finrod, who has since died and whose kingdom is in ruins, and húrin found it there ("took it as a thief") and gave it to thingol. but it was never meant to be his! and this is a common argument in fandom today on why thingol has no right to the silmaril and should never have demanded it (and certainly should not have kept it upon receipt). the flow is exactly the same: this item has found itself in a contested state because the original owner isn't currently capable of retrieving it; someone else brings it to thingol, who considers himself entitled to keep it because it was abandoned (the nauglamir) or owed (the silmaril) (kind of**).
but all of that to say - the dwarves have been dealing with the same shit, with even more disastrous results, for nearly as long as the feanorians, and they're well aware of it. in fact the nauglamir incident is pretty clearly what's being referenced in 'flies and spiders' in the hobbit, in what's probably the most even-handed retelling: "in ancient days [the elves] had had wars with some of the dwarves, whom they accused of stealing their treasure. it is only fair to say that the dwarves gave a different account, and said that they only took what was their due, for the elf-king had bargained with them to shape his raw gold and silver, and had afterwards refused to give them their pay." a little further down: "all this was well known to every dwarf, though thorin's family had had nothing to do with the old quarrel".
so - to the dwarves, the fact that non-noldor (or non-feanorian noldor) have weird takes on stolen property isn't just an academic or theoretical issue - they're on the feanorians' side because it's their story too. (which really makes the period of collaboration in hollin, and its eventual fall, all the more tragic).
but legolas and gimli go to fangorn, and to the glittering caves, and after a long-ass time of the feanorians (and eol) being the main point of contact and alliance between elves and dwarves based on existing common ground and common interests - gimli and legolas have nothing in common at all. but they love each other and they go west together and they learn to understand each other anyway, and i'm extremely emo about it.
*on the one hand it's no fun ignoring the text entirely when you're doing meta but also, on the other, the silm does have an in-universe writer with extremely obvious personal biases? so it becomes a matter of discretion when you want to ignore the parts that seem to be a result of unfounded prejudice or wild conjecture.
**in the most generous light i can see how the silmaril could be considered forfeit due to c&c's actions against beren and lúthien. that is THE MOST generous reading and i still have issues with it, namely a) thingol was explicitly hoping the feanorians would kill beren for him even if he made it out of angband alive, b) thingol... very much also did imprison lúthien for an extended period of time, c) iirc historically a weregild was a set price codified in law, or something agreed upon/voluntarily offered by the guilty party; you didn't just... take someone's stuff and say "weregild!" when they asked for it back. yes i know isildur and the ring, whatever, that is not generally how weregilds worked and isildur's claim appears to be invalid anyway (c.f. council of elrond; frodo says "then it belongs to you, and not to me at all!" when aragorn's descent is announced; aragorn responds "it does not belong to either of us"). this is a long tangent but in conclusion FUCK THINGOL

Lotr headcannons I have
Aragorn
He needs to be reminded to bathe or he won't fucking do it
Straight, but he is the biggest ally you will find
Had an emo phase as a teenager and wrote a lot of poetry
Talks about Arwen about 80% of the time. It should be annoying but is actually really sweet
Every year he dons his ranger outfit and hangs out in the woods for a few days to get a break from the stress of being King for a bit
Legalised gay marriage as his first act as King
Doesn't drink enough water
Always tells people they need to make sure to eat and relax but he doesn't do either of those himself
Boromir
Carries candy with him everywhere because Faramir loves candy and he just never got out of the habit of bringing it with him
Thinks of Merry and Pippin as his younger brothers
Aro/ace
Doesn't really understand romance but also gets really excited for his friends' relationships
Secretly loves when the hobbits complain about being too tired to walk because it means he gets to carry them and it makes him feel needed
Talks a lot about Faramir
Loves big dogs. He has several at a time and enjoys taking them on walks and spoiling them
His father owns peacocks and Boromir got bit by one once and now he is deathly afraid of them
Legolas
Used to talk shit about the rest of the fellowship to Aragorn before learning that Frodo and Boromir both speak elvish too
Makes up silly songs and sings them in an obnoxious voice to annoy everyone else
Although some of the others in the fellowship might think of him as cool and serious at first, he actually can't take anything seriously
Somehow always has flowers in his hair, even during the winter
Doesn't tell anyone he is a prince at first because he doesn't want them to expect him to act like a prince
The youngest child with several older brothers. He just gives me youngest child vibes
Doesn't understand how mortal ages work so treats everyone like a child
Vibes well with Pippin
Overly enthusiastic about pine nuts
Gandalf
Can't actually turn anyone into an animal. He just uses this to threaten children so they won't misbehave
Somehow, Pippin finds out and decides to be even more annoying now that he knows the threat is empty
Gandalf starts threatening to beat him with his staff instead
Loves going to the Shire because hobbits throw the best parties and because they all think of him as a weird old man who does magic tricks. The outside world place expectations on him so it is nice to go to the Shire to have some fun
Is very fond of children of all types and believes the best use of his magic is to entertain the children with it
While he views the rest of the hobbits in the fellowship as adults who can make their own decisions, he knows Pippin is still a child and so treats him as he would his own grandchild.
Feels really guilty for everything that happened to the hobbits and believes it is his fault
Constantly makes jokes about having died
Gimli
Talks shit about the rest of the fellowship to himself. Thankfully, no one understands him
Understands the importance of keeping the dwarves' secrets secret, but also taught Legolas every swear word in his language because he thinks it is funny
Cares quite a bit about his appearance, especially his beard, and carries a comb in his belt right beside his throwing axes
Legolas is the only one allowed to touch his hair. Everyone else doesn't wash their hands enough, according to him
Kind of a mom friend
After the quest, he visits the Shire and makes sure to go to every tavern to try out all the ale
Once got in a very heated argument with Merry about pipeweed and it was so bad Aragorn had to intervene
Sam
Doesn't trust anyone but himself to cook
Bisexual icon
Also polyamorous
Married to Rosie and Frodo
Is super strong because of all the gardening work he does
Incredibly fond of chickens. He gets a few chickens when they return back to the Shire and he loves them so much.
Knows a lot about flower language and always gives people flowers that mean something
Makes the best chicken pot pie in all the Shire. He knows this because he won a prize for it at the Fair in Michel Delving
Really really loves elves and learns elvish so he can speak to them. He practices with Legolas every time he is over
Like Gimli, is a mom friend. If he so much as guesses someone might be sick, he fusses over them and makes them soup and doesn't allow them to get out of bed until he is convinced they are well
Gets super embarrassed when people treat him like a hero, but also secretly enjoys it and knows he deserves it
Always grows too much zucchini and when the harvesting season comes around everyone tries to discreetly avoid him so he can't give them a thousand zucchinis
Frodo
Feels really bad about how he used to steal Farmer Maggot's crops so now he leaves more crops in the fields any time he passes by the farm. Farmer Maggot caught him doing it once and was really confused when Frodo explained his method behind "reverse stealing"
Asexual
Went through an emo phase when he was a teenager
Enjoys his reputation for being odd. It makes him proud to inherit Bilbo's title of Mad Baggins
Is very good at swimming. He doesn't do it often and was scared of water for the while after his parents drowned, but he is a strong swimmer and fast too
Enjoys making bread. It makes him feel strong to use his hand after the quest and kneading bread is the perfect way to do it
Enjoys hosting grand parties with lots of food and dancing
Spends a lot of money on repairing roads and bridges anytime he hears they need fixing
Writes stories all the time
Likes to climb trees
He has a lot of bad days where he can't get out of bed, so he makes sure to really enjoy the good days. On good days, he invites friends over, or bakes pastries, or dances with Sam and Rosie
Owns the grumpiest, bitchiest cat in the whole world. Sam jokingly calls it Gollum and it responds only to that now
Merry
Had a huge crush on Éowyn
Really likes girls who are strong and stubborn
Straight, but he gives me trans vibes
A total nerd
Knows literally everything there is to know about pipeweed and will tell you all about it whether you are interested or not
Has very strong opinions on most things and cannot be swayed from them
Used to lie and say Pippin was his brother because he was sad they were just cousins
Very cunning and comes up with a lot of schemes and plans. He is good at not getting caught
Has always held an interest for herbs but becomes even more interested after his time spent in the House of Healing
Learns Rohhiric. At first it is to impress Éowyn, but then because he finds it interesting
Can't sing but does it anyway
Owns lots of ponies. He allows all the children he knows to name them
Wears giant round glasses and think they make him look cool and smart even though they actually make him look like a total geek
One time he broke a flowerpot at Bag End and blamed it on Pippin and then cried later because he felt bad
Makes about a thousand cookies every year around Yule
Pippin
Insists he is taller than Merry even though he knows deep down it isn't true
Dyslexic
Bisexual
Super gender non conforming. He wears skirts sometimes because he like how he looks in them.
Used to let his sisters play dress-up and tea party with him as a kid because he wanted to be included in their games
Thinks Boromir is so cool and wants to be like him
Gandalf called him a little shit once and he has been chasing that high ever since
Very shy around girls he fancies but is painfully obvious around boys
He had a crush on Aragorn for like, a day, but then he made them march through a marsh and the crush went away instantly
Used to hang around Bag End in the summertime so he could watch Sam roll his sleeves up
Had a huge crush on Faramir and was low key jealous when he got married
Honestly he gets a crush on every mildly attractive person he meets
Plays a bunch of different instruments
Decent at art and likes to sketch
Likes to have odd pets like frogs and rats and fish
Was born early and got sick often as a child
He really loves Gandalf and views him as a grandfather, despite how much he likes to get on his nerves
Sometimes, when he is lonely, he talks to Boromir in hopes that wherever he is, he is listening
Met his wife Diamond when she nearly ran him over with her wagon
Even when he becomes Thain he never gets out of the habit of pranking people
Whenever he tells stories about the quest he adds new embellishments and at this point it is so far from what originally happened but it is way more entertaining and children love to listen to it
Is banned from two different inns in Michel Delving
Éowyn
She can actually cook, it's just Rohan has really shitty cuisine. I bet they eat lutefisk and that pickled shark soup stuff they used to eat over in Iceland
If, after the war is over, something happened and her friends were in danger, she would not hesitate to go into battle again, though she is glad that they are in a time of peace now because she knows war is awful now
Doesn't know how to read because Rohhiric is not a written language, so Faramir teaches her so she can send letters to her friends all over the world and they are really proud of her progress
Finds she likes weaving and makes a huge tapestry telling the stories from the war. It hangs in Minas Tirith in the throne room
Becomes good friends with Arwen and talks about herb lore with her a lot and they totally lock eyes with eachother to give eachother The Look every time a guy says something stupid in their presence. You know the Look.
Definitely still carries a sword around with her while travelling but never really wants to use it
She becomes more comfortable in her life after she finds friends and family, and she works together with Aragorn and Éomer to help pass laws that give women more freedom (allowing divorce, banning marriages to children, allowing women to have control over their finances, etc) they are both happy to change the laws, although Éomer has to confront some of his prejudices first
Faramir
I dont know what this man is but cis ain't it
Was questioning whether he was gay for a while because he wasn't attracted to women (though he wasn't attracted to men, either) and then he met Éowyn and realized he was just demiromantic
Loves giving Éowyn flowers and planning picnic dates for the two of them
This man is a romantic
He writes her poetry and leaves it around their room for her to find after he teaches her to read
Worried about whether he will be a good dad or not but he gets the hang of it really easily and is a really really good father
Was aware of Pippin's crush on him during the war and just tried to ignore it because it was awkward to think about it
Started carrying candies around in his pockets in remembrance of Boromir

Sending you some pics straight from my Pinterest board!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hope you can come up with something about these, since I couldn't! (Who am I kidding!? I am sure you will, you are so creative!)
I had the whole Spanish class to contemplate what I wanted to do with this and I have the perfect idea 😏
“And we’re gonna dance around on the beach and visit so many museums and I’ll-“
Damiano’s ramblings were interrupted by a loud thunder, illuminating the now grey sky.
“Noo…” Y/n breathed out, as she watched his face drop.
He closed his eyes, inhaling deeply.
“The one time. I want to take you somewhere-“
“We go on dates every week.”
“Regardless.”
Y/n smiled softly as she watched Damiano contemplating about what to do now. Truth be told, she loved the rain, it soothed her and made everything eerier and more mysterious. Damiano, on the other hand, hated the chills that always passed through him when it rained.
“We could still go, you know that?”
“When we met, amore, the rain caught us on our first date and my hair got frizzy and it was a mess that night. I hate rain. It’s course, rough and irritating. It gets everywhere.”
“Was that a Star Wars reference?” Y/n quizzed, squinting her eyes at Damiano, who could barely hold in his smile.
“Perhaps. Anyway. We must now develop a 7-stage plan of what to do.”
“Why 7? And why are you talking so weirdly?”
“I have to go through the seven stages of grief because a bitch named Zeus decided to fuck up my perfect date. And because I listened to that song form Tangled one too many times.”
Y/n burst out laughing, both confused and amused by her husband’s behavior.
“You are acting like a child, cucciolo.”
“I believe that my reaction is quite on brand considering the devastating event that has just happened to me.”
Another chuckle escaped Y/n. Shaking her head at his foolery, she got up and grabbed a bottle of wine. “White or red?”
“Black.”
“What?” Y/n turned around confused. “Is that some new invention?”
“Amore, you have 100 black sets what do you mean new invention??”
“You’re talking about lingerie?!” Y/n burst out, baffled.
“Did you not just call me cucciolo??”
Y/n scoffed, rolling her eyes and resuming her activity. Filling two glasses with wine, she grabbed a bag of chips and walked back to the couch.
“It’s a rainy day. Let me enjoy it.”
“Oh Im sorry, are you seriously choosing the rain over my magnificent dick?” He responded, mocking a hurt look to earn Y/n’s sympathy.
“Oui.”
Damiano shot up, both arms on his hips, his eyebrows comically raised. “O ho ho! So, you cheat on me with the rain, you answer me in FRENCH, AND you pick CHIPS.”
“You’re so picky. Chips are good.”
“No!?”
“Ok you know what you baby, just come here and tell me about what you had planned.”
Damiano grunted a bit, looking around, before settling on the couch, he leaned down, resting on Y/n’s thighs and snuggled into her belly.
“I was gonna take you to a castle, I saw reviews about it and it had such beautiful paintings. It was still gothic, so it fit your emo kid aesthetic. The sculptures were also breath-taking and I know you would have liked to to sketch them.”
Y/n smiled fondly, playing with his dark, wavy hair as he continued to talk.
“After that, I heard there was a piano around there, so we could have played something, even for a little bit. We would have stopped at the cafe nearby and then drive to the beach. We would have watched the sunset and then look up at the stars.”
Y/n felt like she could cry. A palm cupped Damiano’s cheek, making him look up at her. She leaned down, pressing a soft, loving kiss to his forehead.
“The stars will go out before we drift apart, amore.”

Post 7 of your favourite male characters and let people GUESS your type!
Here is a list of just ‘some’ of my favourite male characters from fiction, and I can already see some sort of pattern lol! Let me know what you think and why not make your own!
In NO particular order.
1. Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow 1999 Version).
I’m not a Johnny Depp fan (don’t at me), but this is the one role I really liked him in, he fitted in perfectly. His hair, speech, mannerisms and dress were really attractive to me, especially when he first arrives at Sleepy Hollow. It’s that subtle beautiful, reserved, intelligent manner I appreciate a lot.
Tumblr media
2. Viktor (Arcane).
See what I mean about a theme here? I don’t know why, because they’re nothing like what I’ve actually dated or been approached in real life by, the complete opposite. Which, hasn’t worked for me - they tend to be too dominant, judgemental, aggressive and incompatible. Maybe because I’m quiet, reserved and like to talk about very obscure social topics, like astronomy, philosophy, science etc, just doesn’t seem interesting to them. Anyway, if their were a Viktor in my life, I’d find it hard to not fall in love the moment we spoke.
Tumblr media
3. Spartacus (Andy Whitfield WIP)
Sadly, this actor died before he could go on to star in anything else, but I watch Blood and Sand almost once a year since first watching it. It’s that good. Andy was so unbelievably beautiful, and his character of Spartacus is a great flawed character that evolves beyond his own wants. I honestly lose myself in his eyes when watching him.
Tumblr media
4.  Astarion (Baldur’s Gate 3)
Well, obviously. Neil Newbon is the voice actor and he does a great job. Astarion is also incredibly beautiful, from facial structure to his snow white hair and tipped ears, and poity teeth. He is also very expressive for a game character. As an Irish person, I think theirs this secret underlining attraction to English people, and I think English have that to Irish people. It’s all that colonialism over centuries that caused us to stay apart , just building up, I’m tellin’ ya! :P
Tumblr media
5.  Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy 7)
A theme. Gothic maybe, emo definitely. Dark perhaps. Dangerous slightly. All have a theme lol! Vincent was an early crush of mine. He seemed so lonely, so used and abused and never listened too. He was also really witty.
Tumblr media
6. Legolas (The Lord of the Rings)
Surprisingly, not emo or darkness. He is bright, beautiful and has witty humour (with what screentime he has). I loved his design, I loved how different he felt to the others, and I realised how much I loved guys with long hair. 
Tumblr media
7. Dunpeal - D (Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust)
My only animated beside Viktor, but only Anime character. His design is iconic, his voice actor (English) was amazing, and the movie is a visual masterpiece. I also love vampires. So bonus. He has such a Yoshitaka Amano touch to his design, sleek, curved beauty. Love it.

For the ask game: tdp and lotr ;)
Ohoho I see how it is, fam! Gosh, okay uhhhhhhhh
TDP
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) - Runaan, my angsty long-haired neurodiverse stabby honorable hot elf son who is hopelessly in love with his husband and cannot say feelings to save his life
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) - Bait, tubby lump o' grump, a rainbow of colors and feelings
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) - Opeli, Queen of Order and President/Founder of the We Hate Viren Club, what is their combined backstory like, gosh
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) -Crow Master, my emo son, what is up with his corvid-shaped shadow, he tries so hard to do a Good Job!
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) - Viren, High Mage of Katolis, Bi Disaster Man, Irredeemable(?) Asshole, Horny On Main For Elves Power, Stealer of Shirts, Eater of Orange Peels, Swiper of Crowns, Locker-upper of Children, Devil-Dealing Dumbass, Reluctant Blood Ritual Performer, Just Generally Thirsty, Researcher and Schemer Extraordinaire Yet Still So Foolable, Smooth-kneed for Saleer, First of His Name
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) - ahaha no this would also be Viren if I wanted to break someone, but usually I torment Runaan because he can take it
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) - you might think I will say Aaravos, but it's actually whoever is responsible for the Moonshadow elves having to deal with the angst of blood promises/binding ribbons and having assassins in the first place. Someone set this precedent, and it's still here, ruining human and elven lives/families alike. So if that's a dragon, like Luna Tenebris, fine. If it's Bloodmoon Huntress, fine. If it's still Aaravos, fine. May every step they take on the path to superhell land on a Lego.
LOTR
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most) - Elvenking Thranduil, yes I have a type, stoic white-haired queer badass leaders who protect their people in problematic ways while looking hot, what about it
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped) - Kili, he's literally a chibi dwarf, come on
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave) - Celebrimbor, the elven smith who got fooled into making the Rings of Power. He's kinda a Feanor 2.0, except way better than the OG redheaded disaster elf because his heart was in a much better place, and realistically who wouldn't fall prey to the charms of Sauron? Anyway, he makes pretty magic artifacts, he's an artificer and that's freaking awesome
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) - gotta be the Mouth of Sauron, he's freaky and gross but somehow weirdly compelling
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave) - Denethor, Steward of Gondor, for the sheer amount of family and cultural angst he can carry all at once, he's an idiotic drama king steward and he drives so much of the plot with his dumb slanted perspective... He's basically a Viren
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason) - Gimli son of Gloin, because he howls so horribly and Generally Emotes With Overkill, but also so his gentle elven prince, Legolas Greenleaf, can show up to help calm him down and set things right again
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell) - Smaug! He's a sad little king of a sad little hill, petty and cruel, a tiny little bitch and a coward, pathetic but not even in an interesting meow meow way like Denethor. Just fall, burn, and perish already, you paper airplane lightweight. Ugh.
DUDE this was fun, tysm!!

🎃 Haikyuu!! Halloween Couple Costumes series (part 2)
Iwaizumi Hajime ÷ Bokuto Koutarou ÷ Haiba Lev ÷ Tsukishima Kei
Tumblr media
🦇 Haiba Lev
I feel like Lev is the type of person who believes in mythology, folklore creatures and fairy tales in general. He’s also a big fan of Lord of the Rings so he came up with the idea of both of you dressing up as elves (his favourite character is Legolas). You gladly agreed.
You were preparing months prior to the party because your boyfriend wanted everything to be perfect and just like in the movie. You went to every store in town searching for materials. Both of you spent a lot of time together making the costumes by yourselves and you had so much fun during the whole process that once they were ready you were a little sad.
You were really amazed at how good Lev actually was at sewing and problem solving because you messed up big time once so he made a few changes and your costume ended up looking even better than before.
‘Lev how come you’re that good? I never knew you could sew. ‘
‘When I was little I used to watch my sister while she was making clothes for her dolls. I found that to be really cool so I asked her to show me how to do it.’ replied Lev.
It was the night of the party and you both looked amazing like you came straight out of a fairy tale. There was just one problem. For some reason Lev’s elf ears kept falling the whole night. Kuroo and Yaku even made a bet on how long would take your boyfriend to finally realise that his ears were missing. Well... he never did so the whole time you had to walk right behind him and always be ready to catch them. Since Lev had no idea they had fallen you had to put them back on.
‘Thank you y/n. I’m sorry.. this is the sixth time already... ‘
‘Don’t worry babe. Stay still so I can put them back on. ‘
‘You don’t have to do it. I’ll just put the ears in my bag. ‘
‘No, an elf isn’t complete without his pointy ears! Besides you can always count on me. I’ll take care of you. ‘
You smiled at him and he kissed you softly on the lips.
Tumblr media
🦇 Bokuto Koutarou
You and Bokuto were really excited for Halloween because this is your favourite holiday. Your sweet boyfriend wanted to dress up as an owl so bad that you couldn’t just say no.. so you agreed.
‘What do you mean you only have children sizes?’ pouted Bokuto.
‘I’m sorry sir but usually kids dress up as owls. ‘ calmly replied the man who worked at the store.
You went to many different stores and finally found and owl costume for grown ups but your boyfriend was way too brawny to fit in it.
‘UGHHH ARE YOU KIDDING ME??’
‘I’m sorry sweetie... that’s the only one who could’ve fitted. Everything else is for children. ‘ you said worrying that he’s really close to go emo mode.
‘Why do kids always get the good stuff?’
Bokuto was just about to say that he wasn’t going to the party (because it was that same night and you both still couldn’t find a costume) when the seller told you that there was in fact one costume that might work.
‘But that’s a big gorilla costume...’ your boyfriend was very disappointed but an idea popped up in your mind.
‘Kou OH MY GOD we can totally nail it!’
‘Huh?’
‘We’ll take this one! I have an idea. ‘
You had exactly one hour before the start of the party so you immediately rushed to your house and found your old white dress.
‘Y/n are you going to be a bride?’
‘Someday yours probably’ you said, which made Bokuto blush ‘but no.. I’m actually thinking of you dressing up as King Kong and I’ll be Ann. ‘
‘Y/N YOU’RE A GENIUS!’
Everyone at the party liked your costume and no one thought you came up with the idea literally the last minute. You both even participated in the contest and Bokuto lifted you up like a feather. Even though it didn’t go as planned your childish boyfriend was extremely happy and lively the whole time.
Tumblr media
🦇 Iwaizumi Hajime
‘Haji we have to decide what we’re gonna wear for the Halloween party. ‘ you suggested a bit uneasy because there wasn’t much time left.
‘Oh I already have a costume.’
‘WHAT? Since when? ‘
‘I got it three days ago. Why?’ Iwaizumi was confused because of your reaction.
‘What do you mean why? We were supposed to do it together. What did you get?’ You were a little irritated at your boyfriend’s action.
‘You’re gonna like it y/n! I’m going to be Godzilla!’ excitedly replied Iwaizumi.
‘What?? How is that a couple costume? What am I supposed to be then?’
‘It has to be a couple costume???’ Your boyfriend has always dreamed of dressing up as Godzilla that he totally forgot about the whole concept of the party. ‘Oh my god y/n I’m so sorry!’
You know very well the guy you’re dating and you’re 100% sure that he didn’t do it on purpose so you chuckled at how childish and innocent the whole situation is. You still had no idea how to make that into something for couples.
‘I thought of something.. Godzilla attacks and destroys buildings right?’
‘Um.. yeah.’
‘How about I dress up as a skyscraper?’ you turned to him with your sparkling eyes waiting for his approval.
‘That’s a great idea actually! But babe... I don’t think you’re tall enough to go as a skyscraper... a tiny cottage house probably.’ he joked. You stuck out your nose at him but he pulled you for a kiss. ‘I’ll help you make your costume y/n.. that’s the least I can do to make it up to you.’
You managed to finish your costume on time and you looked really adorable as a building next to your frightening looking boyfriend. It was a bit hard for you to move but definitely easier to do the robot dance and embarrass Iwaizumi in front of everyone. Great night!
Tumblr media
🦇 Tsukishima Kei
Tsukishima is not the type of person who would be hyped about Halloween. His suggestion for a costume was one of those black T-shirts with a ‘this is my Halloween costume’ written on the front. Of course you changed his mind stating that he’s a party pooper.
‘Okay y/n do you have any ideas then?’
‘For your information yes, I actually have one. Since you like dinosaurs so much I think we should be dressed like ones.’
Tsukishima’s eyes lighted up. He realised how much he loves you and how freaking cool you actually were. He of course didn’t want to sound too excited and just calmly said ‘Okay.. if that’s what you want. ‘ but on the inside he was screaming like a little girl.
As mentioned Tsukishima isn’t into those kind of stuff which means he left everything for the last minute. You had no time to make your own costumes so you rushed to the nearest store.
‘You don’t have a dinosaur costume? Seriously? Literally zero respect for the history of our planet Earth!’ your boyfriend was acting as if he was offended (he definitely was though).
‘What are we gonna do now? Every other shop is closed.’ you were getting stressed.
‘You know.. we can always wear the black T-shirts.’ Tsukishima pointed out.
You really didn’t want to wear that so you had to think quick and then you saw it.
‘Hey babe I think this might work out.’ you exclaimed holding a grey/brown costume ‘We can be archaeologists! It’s still kinda related to dinosaurs.’
Tsukishima wasn’t sure if he wanted to go to the party wearing that but he liked the fact that you were desperately trying to find a solution so you ended up renting these costumes.
Everyone was already at the party. Hinata looked at your boyfriend and asked if he was a detective at which Kageyama confidently declared ‘Hinata are you dumb?? He’s clearly a gardener!’
As if that wasn’t enough Bokuto and Iwaizumi’s costumes caught Tsukishima’s eye.
‘OH REALLY? They have freaking Godzilla and a giant gorilla costumes but not a dinosaur?’
Your boyfriend was ranting almost the whole time but you actually enjoyed it. You found his rants to be quite funny.

The baby turtles hc
I've got like 5 oneshot requests and specific headcannons in my inbox but im sick rn and have a party to go to this weeknd and i hope it passes. Anways, here are my children (gonna do Mikey's kid at some point)
(Jai)lyn and Riley 14:
• For the longest time they couldn't sleep in different beds so you only needed the one
•Jailyn has the worst nightmares, they aren't often but when they happen he wakes up screaming and needs Leo to talk to him
•Riley is so quite he can startle Master Splinter without even trying and now Pop's running joke is getting him a bell
•Jailyn is the troublemaker of the two so anytime Riley does cause trouble he gets Jailyn in trouble (ah siblings)
•Which also means Leo has constantly called them the wrong name. Can have an entire conversation with Jailyn thinking it's Riley till he remembers He's mute and wouldn't be responding
•Will not eat dad's cooking, screw that they would rather starve
•Jailyn goes by jai or jai bird with his cousins
•Riley cried during the titanic and claims it to be his favourite of all time despite how freaking long that movie is
•Jai does not care about being a ninja, he'll train with everybody but like he just doesn't wanna make it his life and that's hard for leo to accept sometimes
•they both hate shots and both have a fear of their dad not coming back from patrol one day or something happening to their family
•Riley doesn't seem it but he's really stubborn like his dad and once his mind is set it's hard to be swayed, definitley more strong willed and serious then his brother
(Mal)ikai 15, (Ana)stasia 7, and (Ric)hard 6:
•Ric is the youngest and the crybaby, he has cried at least once a day. Very emotional like his dad and a Mama's boy
•Ana asks for a horse every year and each time all she gets is a toy pony (the collection keeps getting bigger please have a talk with Raph or she'll actually end up with one)
•Mal is like going through an edgy/emo boy phase and does butt heads with Ana often because she's the polar opposite and all cheerey and full of rainbows and wants matching pajama sets with him
•Mal definitley broods and tries to act like some version of batman and his personal journal is angsty even though he's got like a loving home and decent life(like some other person 👀)
•Ana wishes she has hair but she's a turtle and wigs are itchy :/
•Ric loves winnie the pooh and reads whatever book he can get his hands on now that he has started reading. Has started a mini library of kids magazines and children books
•If it were up to him Mal would live off Easy Mac cups and caprisuns but sadly if he wants to be a ninja he needs a healthy diet
•Ana and Ric have a closer bond and share a space together. Ana is alot nicer on Ric and can handle his emotions
•Ana has a trademark look anytime she wants her dad to do something and even though Raph knows it's a scam he still falls for it
•Mal wishes he could drive and get a learners permit and go to prom and do all the stuff regular teenagers do bc dangit >:0
Caroline 13:
•Currently going through her nightcore and Sonic the hedgehog phase (Even though it isn't she will always love it)
•Has situational anxiety and has alot of trouble with attacks and breathing. Anytime it flares up Donnie is there and helping
•Even though she's like a super dork with anxiety and anime merch she definitley broods with Mal. Such as listening to sad anime outros and looking off in the distance
•Has a crush on legolas and Draco malfoy
•Was really scared to use the bo staff at first but she's pretty swift with it
•Has daily talks with her Pops Master Splinter, they are both highly intellectual so it makes great coversation
•Was the baby that others claimed "was like talking to a little adult" donnie is proud
•He's like proud of anything she does, wants her to experience the best and hates that her anxiety can be a crutch for that sometimes
•Sleeps with her headphones on and it has caused so many pairs to be broken or beyond repair, badly wants beats
•Reads wattpad fanfiction don't even try to pry that from my hands
•Has led lights just like her dad

favourite male fictional characters
Thank you @vishcount​ for tagging me, this was a lot of fun! 💞 I originally planned to follow your example and put ten characters here but suddenly it became a lot more oops. also i hope you forgive me for following your format, it’s neat 
I am tagging @isabellaofparma​ , @the-cloud-whisperer​ and @sassyassassy​!
I chose the characters that impacted me deeply on a personal level throughout my life (often shown by how long my love lasts over the years and if i was inspired to write for them). 
In no specific order under the cut: 
Legolas
The Lord of The Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien. 
Tumblr media
I think it’s only fitting I start off with this magnificent guy. Maybe I gotta admit, i’ve just had a crush on him ever since I was like, nine years old? He’s the character I will fight tooth and claw for (though I guess he doesn’t need me to do that). I love Orlando Bloom’s portrayal of him, eventhough he is vastly different from the books. Book Legolas is such a delight as well, he feels so whimsical and playful and his banter with Gimli is just gold. I was sad when The Hobbit trilogy came out and I was so disappointed by how they butchered his character, it just did not feel authentic anymore (maybe I am also just bitter about the forced hetero storyline for him. makes no cents, this elf is GayTM your honour. and he will meet his soulmate Gimli in a few decades).  Either way, Legolas is the love of my life, thanks for coming to my tedtalk,
Peter Pan 
Peter Pan, J. M. Barrie
Tumblr media
Another childhood crush of mine. The gif I chose if from the 2005 movie because we always used to watch it and it is to this day one of my favourite movies. It’s so dreamy, so magical, yet also incredibly sad and sweet.  I have this very strange fascination with Peter Pan. There is something incredibly unsettling about him, especially in the book. He represents something every child wants - who doesn’t want to escape their bedroom and fly away to experience magical adventured far from the adult world? And yet he also represents the impossibility of it, the curse he carries around with himself because he will forever stay alone, no matter how many lost boys he gathers around himself. And Wendy - it’s a love that was never meant to grow and mature, it’s a fleeting dream for the both of them.  I have seen many different adaptations of Peter Pan and I have my favourites, though I want to give a special mention to the book Peter Darling by Austin Chant. It’s a retelling of the story how we know it, in which Peter returns to Neverland after having finally grown up BUT the main points I want to highlight is trans Peter? Heck yes. Gripping and compelling gay love story with our favourite original lost boy Captain Hook? YES. 
Snufkin
Moomins, Tove Jansson.
Tumblr media
I have discovered Snufkin for myself only last year, and yet I know he will stay with me forever. In short - I vibe with him, he vibes with me. His anxieties about being with people and longing for solitude? His fear of being loved and being important to someone to a point he doesn’t know what to do with himself? This man just wants to roam freely with his own mind and yet he always returns for something that captures him. Mum, I love him because I have rarely felt this seen before. Also, Snufkin said ACAB. 
Prince Jing - Xiao Jingyan
Nirvana in Fire (2015)
Tumblr media
This too is a darling I have only discovered recently. I watched Nirvana in Fire this year and let me tell you, it’s the best show I have seen in a long while. It’s absolutely amazing and it also ripped my heart out. All the characters are absolutely amazing and I am still not over it.
To be honest, I contemplated between Xiao JIngyan and Mei Changsu, because character-wise I think the latter is a lot more interesting and compelling. He makes for a fantastic heartbreaking and flawed protagonist.
However I have to admit - it was love at first sight with Prince Jing for me and I’m still lowkey mad abt it rip. Seems like I am not immune to Pretty Prince Propaganda. But apart from that, I adore him for his genuine
goodness,
his almost naive drive to be better and seek justice. He lost everything, and for the longest time did not have anything to fight for. So alone and lost and bitter, it makes me sad how much it hardened him. He is heartbreak and clumsy kindness hidden under a skin of scars that was inflicted by his father and many others. I see his sad cat-eyes and I cry, that’s just how it is.
Edmund Pevensie
The Chronicles of Narnia, C. S. Lewis
Tumblr media
I grew up with these books and movies - they have always been part of my life and it will probably always stay that way (only last night I rewatched the first movie and sobbed).  Imagine my surprised when I finally watched the last movie about five years ago and was incredibly impressed by how they adapted the book; also imagine my brain suddenly going CASMUND in bold letters at Skandar Keynes’ and Ben Barnes’  performance in that movie.  From there, I rediscovered this story completely anew for myself. My favourite Pevensie sibling has always been Lucy (and still is, because I identify with her so much and she feels like home to me); however this new discovery of Edmund’s character was overwhelming. It’s interesting to see characters you’ve grown up with from a more grown up point of view. I don’t want to lay out all my thoughts here, just know I am so heartbroken for him, and so so proud as well. His character arc is amazing and maybe that’s how the last movie makes me even more emotional. Seeing Edmund and Lucy still holding on to Narnia but knowing that that door was closing for them? Not to mention what happens in the later books (we don’t talk about that).  Also did I mention Casmund. Here, have my incredibly emo and depressing take on Edmund’s character that I started writing four years ago and which will forever stay a WIP. 
Nie Huaisang
The Untamed (2019)
Tumblr media
My son. My soul. My bane of existence. The tragic thing about him is, that he does not really exist in canon as I have created him for myself. He’s a secondary character in the show, always so relatable yet still brings the ultimate twist of the story, yet he still remains this incomplete shadow. The movie
Fatal Journey
gave him a lot more and I cried tears of joy and devastation. I don’t know why I latched on to him so much, but apparently he is the one that I project on, the one that feels like he sits somewhere inside my chest. I don’t know what else to say - this year he has been everything to me. I spend a lot of time in his head while writing, and maybe that’s how he’s there forever now. Nie Huaisang saw my brain and went it’s free real estate. All my love for you, you dramatic art hoe.
Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Tumblr media
Ah, another lifelong companion. There are many adapations that I adore - starting from the origin of it all, the books and stories which I have all devoured; the 80s adaptation with Jeremy Brett which was incredibly wonderful; to BBC Sherlock which shaped and traumatised me (I still like the first three seaons but I am too hurt to think about it); to the numerous movies -  but by far my most favourite performance is Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes. Somehow he manages to capture the Holmes I see in my head when I read the books, the sharp yet polite eccentric detective, who loves his companion so much and who has desire to help others.  Sherlock Holmes will always stay special to me, in so many different ways. He shaped my youth and I know he will stay with me. (also what would you say when I told you he helped me discover that I can, in fact, be queer AND ace at the same time? thanks pal).  What else is there to say? Sherlock Holmes is a universe that you can dive into and find many amazing treasures. 
Isak Valtersen 
SKAM (2015)
Tumblr media
There he is, the boy that changed my life. SKAM changed my life. All of the characters did. However, Isak is special for many, as I imagine. I remember winter 2016, when tumblr was flooded by these norwegian white boys kissing in a pool and cuddling and I was like ‘nah’, this doesn’t look convincing.  I don’t know what changed my mind but I remember sitting down at last and watching all that was released of season three and it was only downhill from there. I remember starting to follow the real life updates religiously while watching the other previous seasons in between. The one clip that completely wrecked me was when Isak went to the school nurse about his struggles with sleep - it felt like for the first time I saw someone on screen that could understand me on so many different levels. The entierty of seaons three is so personal, I would tell you to go watch it if you don’t know what I mean. The entire show in fact. It’s a masterpiece and it feels so real. This show impacted my life in a way that no show has managed to do before. I miss it so much. I miss Isak too sigh. 
Shang Xirui
Winter Begonia (2020)
Tumblr media
Technically, for me personally, Shang Xirui is the nonbinary, gay and ace representation I need in my life (or at least that’s my own personal take on him), but since that is not official, he’s still here on this list. Of course he is because wow, it’s been a long while since I’ve seen such a compelling character on screen. I went from disliking him to being absolutely heartbroken over him. I don’t think any other character in this show captured me as much as he did. There are so many layers to him and discovering all of his sides is a wonderful, heartbreaking, painful and also beautiful journey. I’m not sure I understand all of him yet, but I am willing to try and dig and just ponder his existence. This too, is a perfect example for a flawed yet authentic protagonist. Also he is the most beautiful thing on this planet, or at least that’s how I have been feeling ever since I watched this. I wish to write more of him in the future. 
Aang
Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005)
Tumblr media
I grew up watching ATLA and my favourite characters have always been Toph, Zuko and Uncle Iroh. In recent years however, I completely fell in love with Aang all anew. 
I think especially in the past, I had these prejudices against main characters and found them all the most boring personalities ever. In recent years this changed a lot and especially Aang is a prime example for that. Watching him from the perspective of older me, I find so much wisdom in this young boy. Somehow he represents all I wish to be in my life but at the same time he shows his flaws, he carries this sadness with him that will accompany him all his life. This inner battle and chaos that he has to face day to day and in the end - he is just a young boy. So much has been taken from him and yet he learns how to not let it overtake him, that anger and hurt. He tries his hardest to be better than the day before, even if sometimes the world crashes down on him and he gets overwhelmed. He is a child recruited by adults to manage their mistakes and play into the hands of predestined fate and in this essay I will -
Harry Potter 
Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling
Tumblr media
I am surprised myself. I thought I would put Fred and George here, or Remus and Sirius, however I realised that none of them quite capture this feeling of lifelong change, of personal, deep impact that Harry had on me. 
As with Aang above, I used to think Harry was the most boring protagonist, yet my opinion took a 180° turn in the past years. Many of the things I wrote for Aang apply to him too - the fact that he was a child, that lost so much, and was always faced with challenges that a child should never have needed to face. Something I want to address is how my favourite book, The Order of the Phoenix, lays all of this out. Harry is just as flawed, just as vulnerable and angry as anyone else. I know some people did not like his ‘emo behaviour’ in the fifth book but for me it just showed how human he is, how he was just a teen like myself at that time. As for many, this boy shaped my entire life, shaped a generation, and I will forever be grateful. I’m sad and angry at how J*R behaves, and how she puts us in the position of doubting our love for these stories. I know I will always love them, but I will not turn a blind eye on all the problematic shit is carries with itself and what the author piles upon us. 
Lan Wangji & Wei Wuxian 
The Untamed (2019)
Tumblr media
I will try and keep this short, because if you want to read my thoughts about Wangxian just go to my ao3 and find the  over 70k i wrote for them.  I decided to put them here together because I can’t seperate them and I can’t choose between them. Each of them carries something I recognise in myself, and each of them is the opposite of me. They each own my heart and soul and I know there will never be a fictional couple like this for me ever again. They’ve snuck their way into my heart and have never left. They deserve to be here, together, because my love for them is indescribable. Bless them.  + Bonus:
The Doctor
Doctor Who (1963/2005)
Tumblr media
Technically, the Doctor doesn’t count as a “male” character, but since he has been presenting as male up until recently, I needed to include him. I chose the Tenth Doctor because he is the one that broke my heart the most. I adored Nine but he was there too short, and I do love Eleven and Twelve a lot, and Thirteen absolutely owns my heart, Ten has just always been the one that made me cry the most. I loved this era of Doctor Who, I loved how sad and hopeful he was, how heartbroken and yet determined to help wherever it was needed. Doctor Who is always that show, when I return to it, I am reminded that maybe, humanity and the universe isn’t all that bad. 
phew, this took ages damn. but i had so much fun! i decided to leave out honorable mentiones because we would be sitting here until tomorrow lol.

Chapter 3 Tumblr Post
(Actual fic under the cut)
They stayed with Autumn Assassin for a while longer, talking with the killjoys of the household and generally having a better time than just living alone. It was a little strange to have three of them in one small room, but none of them minded much. 
“I shared a room with my sister in Battery City,” Cherri Cola told the others. D restrained any surprise from showing on his face- Cherri almost never volunteered information about himself, and especially not his past. It was something killjoys didn’t talk about much and rarely shared with anyone except their crew. So D just nodded in acceptance.
“D and I are used to sharing,” Lily agreed. “So we’ll just have to stick it out,”
Autumn Assassin, meanwhile, had taken Cherri under their wing. They had the common trait of being an excellent shot, and Autumn had managed to get him a much nicer ray gun. 
“Scarecrow model,” They informed him. 
Cherri nodded as they positioned his hands on the new ray gun. “Right. Look around what you’re aiming at, keep your hands in this position and steady as you can, and don’t hesitate. Hesitation will kill you, kid.”
D was watching the lesson just like he had watched Lily teach Cherri, making sure Autumn wasn’t too rough. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the other killjoy- White Lily trusted them, and that was good enough for him- but he wanted to make sure Cherri’s wound healed properly as well. So he was sitting and watching as they taught Cherri how to shoot better than ever before. Cherri was taking to the lessons eagerly, wanting to learn how to fight. 
“Don’t hesitate,” he repeated, and pulled the trigger. 
Autumn Assassin whooped as the can fell. “Good shot, kid!”
Cherri was grinning as he glanced back at D. “A hundred and sixty.”
“I saw,” D grinned back. “That’s pretty fucking incredible, Cherri.”
“He’s a quick one,” Autumn agreed. “Needs to work on his hand-to-hand combat and reactions in the heat of battle, but he’s a good shot.”
“I’ll do hand to hand if you want to teach me,” Cherri offered quietly.
“Of course I do, kid, you’re a quick learner and frankly a lot of fun to teach.”
Cherri’s grin grew even wider. “I’m seventeen.”
“And I’m almost thirty, what’s your point? You’re a kid to me, even if you kick ass at shooting and probably other things too.”
“Fair.”
“Ready to kick some ass?”
“Yeah!”
“Be careful of your stitches,” D warned, but it wasn’t his place to stop Cherri. 
“I will be, don’t worry. I don’t feel like getting hurt again,” the other said dryly.
“Good, I don’t want you to get hurt either.”
“Overprotective,” Cherri said with an eye roll, but he was smiling. 
“I’d rather not have one of my best friends die because he was an idiot and ripped his stitches, thank you very much.”
“I’ll be careful.”
Cherri was…less than careful, in D’s opinion, but he didn’t rip any stitches while training with Autumn Assassin so that was a something, at least. He did, however, get very good at fighting with a variety of weapons, including but not limited to knives, ray guns, older style guns, and even simple hand-to-hand combat. Autumn Assassin’s name included ‘assassin’ for a reason, and it wasn’t that they could poison people.
Meanwhile, D and Lily dedicated their time to the radio station and recruiting more people. Killjoys had started to settle in other houses and buildings in this little town area, given how intact many of them were. It was becoming a whole little community, arsonists and crash queens living next to medics and some of the most peaceful rebels. So while Autumn Assassin was teaching Cherri to be terrifyingly good at fighting, D and Lily were wandering the area and getting to know the killjoys there.
They met Legolas Greenleaf, fantasy nerd and excellent maker of crepes, apparently, although given that it was the desert they couldn’t really verify that. He and his crew dressed like fantasy elves and kicked draculoid ass while shouting things like ‘dishonor on your lineage!’ and ‘spawn of Morgoth!’. There was also Tommy Chow Mein, who both of them knew from the wars and was running a little general store out of what had once been the town’s general store, and his assistant was a kid called Penny Pincher who had copper-colored hair and was a bit younger than Cherri.
The variety of killjoys in the town ranged from a short, grouchy killjoy who simply went by ‘Fuck’ and was one of the best medics out there to a tall, freckled killjoy called Angel Kisses who was an absolute sweetheart but would absolutely fuck you up. Ages ranged from some of the oldest soldiers of the Helium Wars (“I’m damn near forty.”) to the younger siblings and even children of some killjoys (“She’s a bit under a year, just barely weaned but we had to get her out of Battery City.”) From the news others brought in, they knew this wasn’t the only community of killjoys, but it was by far the largest. Here was where the center of the rebellion would be for another few years, and the unsuspecting Autumn Assassin’s house was at the center of it all.
Their house was already somewhat of a town hub, being the most intact and the one with the most residents, and Autumn Assassin seemed to encourage this.
“What with the amount of people here, we’ve always got extra food, and extra rooms for travelers. We’ve got the resources, might as well use them. And I don’t mind these dumbasses hanging around the living room, they bring some life to the place.” That was what they told D when he asked about it, leaning against the counter as the two of them watched the chaos unfold in their living room like it did almost every day. 
“They certainly do bring life. Also chaos.”
Autumn Assassin cackled. “That’s true. Nothing wrong with a bit of chaos, though. We are killjoys, after all.”
“True, we are.” D frowned. “Do you worry about Lil and I bringing bli down on your head?”
“If you do, we’ll tell them to fuck off.” Their face grew more serious. “I’m not kidding, though, Doctor Death. We give no fucks about Better Living, and we do give some fucks about you and your little crew. I worry a little about putting the younger members of the house in danger, but all of them knew what they were getting into. And all of them know how to fight.”
“I’m assuming you taught them?”
“How did you guess?” Their voice was utterly deadpan. “Not all of them, but yeah. I insist on teaching everyone who comes through some basic hand-to-hand combat and how to shoot a ray gun, if they don’t know. It’s my way of keeping them safe. Like your radio station.”
It was true, 109 in the sky had many goals, but one of them was keeping the killjoys safe and informed. The more they knew about upcoming dangers, the better they could fight back, and WKIL served as a hub of information. Killjoys radioed in or brought news of whatever they had found, from a supply truck that had been raided and had some extra supplies to exterminators coming to the desert. Code words were a part of this too, a cobbled together mixture of killjoy slang and actual code that served as yet another line of defense. Even if Better Living Industries figured out how to listen in, it wasn’t as if they would understand half the words being said, and Dr. Death Defying knew they had to keep it that way. Secrecy was essential to a successful rebellion, as Lily had put it. So the code was an important part of running the radio station, alongside the technology and the consistent news.
Even as they began to travel around again, taking the news van to broadcast from different Zones as a way of confusing Better Living Industries, they continued to return to Autumn Assassin’s house and the town around it as a home base. The room that Autumn Assassin had given them at the very start was theirs permanently now, and Autumn always kept it open for them. Sometimes they would be gone a day or two, sometimes an entire week or even a month or more. It depended on how close they thought Better Living Industries was to catching on, and traveling around seemed to be working as a method of confusing the corporation. In addition to the FM radio station of WKIL, multiple AM stations had sprung up that took the info from D’s daily broadcast and spread it over a wider range. Their signal was much easier to interfere with, which was why the original WKIL was an FM station, but it got the news out to the entirety of the Zones, providing an invaluable service. 
So the rebellion continued to grow, month after month, until the Zones were alive with killjoys and color, loud noise and firefights. Cherri’s training at the hands of Autumn Assassin had only made him more bold, much to D’s worry, but he had to admit that Cherri’s borderline insane antics were a very effective method. He was one of the few killjoys unafraid to fight almost any level of Better Living Industries employee, and one of the most effective at it too.
Lily, meanwhile, was working on organizing larger raids and even attacking Battery City itself. D was her right hand, as always, but he was also occupied with the radio station and other things. So Cherri had stepped partially into their role, accompanying Lily when she went on missions and standing by her side as a very effective deterrent against exterminators. Better Living Industries had intensified their efforts to find Lily and D, and Cherri was now top of their wanted lists as well. He had gone from an unremarkable and frankly unintimidating sixteen-year-old to one of the finest shots in the desert and a highly wanted killjoy, the name Cherri Cola whispered almost as often as you could hear whispers of Dr. Death Defying or White Lily.
He had gained a reputation for being one of few killjoys who usually worked alone, often taking on missions solo (and giving D and Lily a heart attack when he stumbled back in with a stab wound or ray gun shot, bruised and battered). That wouldn’t change until their last few crew members joined up, and even then, Cherri was fiercely independent both as a fighter and a person. He was loyal, that was for sure, willing to fight just about anything for D or Lily, but he would always prefer solo raids or missions.
That scared D shitless, but they couldn’t stop him and they trusted Cherri to keep himself safe, to an extent. He was still more reckless than D or Lily would like, but neither of them could really blame him. 
“I don’t know what he’s running from, but there’s something.” That was Lily, plunking down in a chair next to them.
“We’re all running from something, aren’t we?”
“Dark but true.”
The two of them knew what each other was running from better than anyone else. Both somewhat happy children back in Battery City, there was nothing in their childhood that they ran from, only a faint sense of nostalgia, but the war they had fought in had changed them both in ways they didn’t like to think about. There was a past there to run from, horrors to set right. D knew that Lily had a sense that she needed to put things right, needed to atone in some way for her deeds during the Helium Wars. If that atonement, that fight, took her life, she would accept it as such. 
It might have been selfish of him, but he would not atone. They were trying, of course, to make the world a better place, fighting for the future they believed in, but the past was the past, and D refused to die for the crimes he had committed then. He had fought to survive for long enough that he wasn’t giving up now, regardless of what fate would be just for them. The best they could and would do now was fight for the future, not die for the past. 
It wasn’t easy for him either, watching young killjoys fight and be injured and even die, but he had to believe in what they were fighting and dying for. They would break the stranglehold of Better Living Industries, they would live free and bring the same for their children and all the generations that would come after them. All this wasn’t for nothing.
That was what D told themself as they watched Cherri curl into a ball in the corner of the room, protecting the slash on his side like a wounded animal. That was what they repeated when Lily’s sobs shook the mattress at night, keeping the others awake even if they didn’t dare break the silence of the room. D just prayed the others’ spirits wouldn’t end up as broken as their bodies after claps.
This pattern continued, day after day and week after week as their missions got more dangerous and Cherri grew even more reckless and solitary. It wouldn’t be truly broken until far after the final few members of their crew arrived, but the one who arrived next did by far the most towards that end.

Maze of Miroh- Chapter 19: The Battle for The Under Pt 2
I have a somewhat long announcement guys so bear with me here.
Ahhh hey guys. I got a lot of reasonings as to why this chapter is so late. First, I started Uni again, and its been an adjustment. Two, some internal issues at work caused me to break down in a complete depression spiral. For about 3 whole weeks I cried at work at least once a day haha. Finally, and this was more recent, but the rumors regarding Woojin.  I started this story of May 2019, before Woojin left, and afterwards I vowed I would continue to write him in my story despite no longer being in the group. But this issue it totally different in its entirety. Regardless if they are true or not (and we don't know that they are or not) the way he has handled the whole thing did not sit right with me. This topic hits close home for me as it is and I contemplated removing Woojin from my story all together to avoid making you guys feel uncomfortable as well as myself because it is such a serious trigger. As more rumors came out about his treatment towards the others members and what not I suddenly got a sick feeling in my stomach about him in general. When news first broke out I just wanted to go on in the story, never writing his name again and just totally drooping his character. I thought about telling everyone to not think of these characters as stray kids members and keep him in. But as I've had time to calm down and come to my own decision about the matter, I've decided that I will write him in this story for only this chapter and possibly next. I will be removing him from this story in a plot driven way and I would like you all to respect my decision on this matter. If it comes out later on that he is innocent of all his has been accused, then hey, *shrugs*. But I would rather that than me continue to write such a compassionate and kind character for someone who has lost their way in this regards. I just personally do not feel comfortable at this moment writing him in. Which really sucks because he was such an important part of this arc lol. Anyways, If I have offended you all by my way of removing Woojin from this story I am truly sorry. Again I thought about just totally pretending his character never existed in the first place. But as a writer, it didn't sit right with me.
With that, I have to tweak the story a bit, but I hope you enjoy this little update. Next update is nearly done (Actually this chapter was originally like 3 times longer, but I decided to cut it up.) Have a good night!
The Under:
To say Jisung was in a bad mood was a complete understatement.
All they were supposed to do was get down here, get the information they needed from Dowoon and get the fuck out.
There weren't supposed to be any psychotic speed demons, nor an emo Legolas wannabe with a stick up his ass. And there CERTAINLY wasn’t supposed to be any Virus.
Jisung furrowed his brow as their group ran towards the outer city limits. He looked behind him to see Minho straggling a few feet to the side, the older boy's eyes focused on the road in front of them. Jisung clicked the roof of his mouth with his tongue in annoyance before he turned back around to look at the buildings in front of them.
If only the others knew what they were going through. Jisung almost laughed  imagining the raging meltdown both Changbin and Seungmin would have had in reaction to their current situation. They both are used to Chan’s more risky judgments, being in the group for as long as they had. Oh, if they could see us now….
He let out a long-winded sigh of defeat. They should have left when they had the chance.
But alas, he was being the selfish one here, and his other members had to be heroes incarnate, risking their lives for a group of people who they barely knew…Woojin hyung aside.  And in return, it would be up to Jisung to protect them all since they were all so infuriatingly reckless.
Nope definitely not annoyed....
Jisung’s ears perked as he heard a voice call out to them as they moved closer to the edge of the city. His eyes adjusted forward to see Wooyoung looking back at them, mouth moving as he voiced a command to them. Right away, the team came to an halt as they reached the first signs of buildings, and Wooyoung turned to look back at them, his eyes dark and hard with determination.
“Since some of you don’t know how our city is set up, we will split up in groups.” he explained “Mingi will go with Minho to the eastern section of the city, while Jisung and I will head to the north… Jongho, you'll be in the west.”
Wooyoung’s voice faded from Jisung’s mind as he felt his blood run icy cold at Wooyoung’s words. Now his annoyance was being overwritten by fear. This was exactly what he was afraid of… they were splitting up.
“Hyung,” Wooyoung seemingly continued, looking towards Woojin “since you know the city, can you head to the center? Our 3 teams will have to work fast, ushering the people back here towards the southern part of the city where the bunker is.”
Jisung shook himself back to the present and looked to see that while his eyes were hard with determination, he didn’t miss the way Wooyoung’s hands trembled at his sides. He regarded the older boy with a wave of understanding and sympathy.
 No matter how you look at it, we are working in a helpless situation… At Least he has the good sense to be scared…
But that begs the question. What about him? Was he scared? He was annoyed, that was for sure. But it didn’t take a genius to know his annoyance was just a mask, trying to hide his own fear.  No matter what, the odds did not look favorable.  5 of them trying to evacuate an entire city on their own? Working with a timer that they didn’t even know what it’s set at?
No thanks, I want a refund.
Woojin must have sensed Jisung’s negativity, for he set his eyes on the younger, giving out a small, knowing cough to gain his attention. He looked up and  locked eyes with Woojin, seeing the elder boy give him a half smile, like he was trying to reassure him.
“It won’t be easy,” he said out loud, tearing his gaze from Jisung’s and towards the party. “It will take all of our best efforts, but remember what Hongjoong said. No one has permission to die here and I am seconding that.”
The younger boys all stared at the older boy, their gaze turning hard with determination. Only Jisung looked apprehensive as he stared at his two teammates, and he found himself looking particularly in the direction of their green-horned Minho, who was still very much a novice in this world.
Jisung thought back to just a few hours ago in their shared room and Minho’s words caused Jisung’s brain to short circuit.
__
“Jisung, no matter what obstacle, what problem and what path leads in front of you, I believe with every fiber of my being that you will come out on top.”
__
God I really hope he is right….
If he was going to save the city and keep Minho alive he was going to need all the luck in the world.
Minho’s words replayed in his mind as he caught sight of Mingi making his way over to the brown haired boy. It was then that Minho himself seemed to feel Jisung’s gaze, and looked back, staring evenly. Jisung noticed with a twitch in his face, Minho’s soft eyes showing the slightest of fear to him. But before Jisung could do anything, Minho quickly covered it up with a misplaced resolve.
The younger grit his teeth in annoyance, knowing that look all too well. He saw it enough in his brother when they were kids and enough times in Chan and the others to last him a lifetime.
I swear to god he wants me to hate him...
Nothing made Jisung madder than a beautiful idiot with a death wish....
And Minho was all three.
There were a few exchanges between Wooyoung and the others, but all too quickly it was over and Jisung felt an arm ripping him from the circle, and thus tearing him from Minho’s gaze.
“Come on” Wooyoung muttered quickly “We have the furthest distance needed to travel. There is no time to waste.”
Just like that, Jisung was pulled from his fellow members, his stomach churning at the thought of being separated from them in a situation like theirs. If he isn’t there to stop them from being complete idiots, then who was?
Yep. Definitely annoyed.
“Fuck...” he cursed under his breath as he turned his back around, leaving the group behind as the both picked up speed. Jisung closed his eyes, sending a silent prayer to whatever god lived above to listen to his plea.
“Keep the idiots with a deathwish safe….please…”  
Minho
Minho watched as Wooyoung dragged Jisung away, an uneasy feeling in his stomach starting to make its way upwards. He hated being separated just as much as Jisung probably felt.  But he couldn’t argue with Wooyoung’s logic, nor could he back down from the task at hand.
He was going to save as many people as possible and show The Order that their time of winning was over.
Minho jumped slightly as he felt a hand on his shoulder, turning to see Woojin give him a comforting smile. “Jisung will be alright Minho,” he said, as if he knew his thoughts. “If anyone can take care of themselves, it’s Jisung.”
“Yah.” Minho agreed with a quick nod of his head.”You’re right.”
“Minho!” Mingi called “You ready? We need to get going!”
Minho turned to the taller boy who was standing next to Jongho and nodded  “Ready”
Woojin took a step forward, brushing his shoulder with Minho’s as a form of comfort. “Take care of him Mingi, he is our important member and friend...lord knows what Felix would do to me if I lost him on this mission.”
Mingi snorted playfully “I don’t know who that is, but as long as he can keep up we will be fine.” He then turned towards Jongho, placing two hands on his shoulders “Be safe little one.”
Minho almost laughed as he watched Jongho look up at the taller boy with a mildly annoyed face, “You know I can kick your ass right?” he asked the taller boy.
Mingi was unfazed as he waved a hand in the air. “Details Details” he said with a smile, motioning for Minho to follow him. If Jongho had heard his comment, the youngest made no notion of it, and turned back around, heading in his own direction.
As they ran further and further from the others he couldn’t help but shake a deep feeling of dread. Minho turned his gaze backwards to look at Woojin’s fleeting figure and he felt his heart tightening in his chest. Something didn’t didn’t feel right.
“Tch!” Minho growled to himself mentally “No. I won’t psych myself out this time!”
This was it. This was another chance to do good, and prove to himself that he CAN do what is needed to be done. No more hiding. No more cowardice. Minho had to make a difference here or his promise to Jeongwoo would be meaningless.
The two of them went on for a few minutes in complete silence, but eventually Minho could feel Mingi’s gaze on him and he turned his head slightly to glance back.
“What?” was all he asked.
“How new?” he asked.
Minho's eyes widened in confusion, turning to get a better look at the bigger boy “Excuse me?”
Mingi chuckled, his gaze turning back to the road in front of them “I mean how new are you to this harsh world of fighting?”
Minho felt his cheeks warm in embarrassment at the question, and he quickly looked at the ground in front of him, sheepish. “Is it that obvious?” he mewed quietly.
Mingi laughed louder this time, throwing two hands in the air in kindness “Not really.” he chuckled “I mean just the fact that you beat San shows you have skills.” He said encouragingly. “I just ask because your members treat you like you're fragile… something you only really do when you are new to this world.”
Minho nodded, trying to calm down from his mild dose of embarrassment. “You can say that again….” he mused.
Mingi smiled at him and gave him a toothy grin “Well the others might not say it, but just the fact that you are against The Order makes you a friend to me!”
Minho’s eyes widened and he nearly smiled at the boy’s pure words. “I thought The Under were neutral when it came to The Order…” He said with a puzzled look. ”You neither give them support but neither do you fight against them… isn’t that right?”
But the younger boy shrugged rather casually, “That is the standard” he explained “But it doesn’t necessarily mean we all agree with it. Hongjoong hyung...” Mingi trailed off, like he was contemplating saying his next words.
“Truthfully….” the taller boy continued more slowly “If it were up to Hongjoong Hyung… We would have liked nothing more than to go the surface, to make The Under more than just a lawless city, that in which is suffocating in the mud and dirt down here.” Mingi turned and gazed at Minho, with the first sense of intensity he caught all day “He wants a better future for the children born down here, something we didn’t get.”
Minho looked at him, pondering his words for a few seconds, and trying to understand the underlying problem. Suddenly Chan’s words flashed through his mind.
“ If we even wanted a chance at overthrowing The Order, then we needed allies. Strong allies at that... “
Minho looked towards Mingi, face pure and honest “If given the chance... Would you fight back? And I mean seriously fight back...”
Mingi gazed back at him, noticing the serious expression on his face, nodding once. “Aye.”
Minho felt a wave of weight being lifted from him and he gave Mingi an earnest smile “Then maybe one day we will.”
It fell into a comfortable silence after that, but Minho couldn’t help but smile now as they ran. This was his first real interaction with another member besides San, and it left him hopeful that they could work together in the future. If they were all like Mingi and Hongjoong that is…
But before he could romance the idea any further, Minho’s smile dropped as he began to hear yelling in the far distance. Screams began to fill his ears and Minho realized with a thump to his heart that they were finally reaching an area with people. As they rounded the corner his eyes widened wide with alarm at the sight of crowds of people rushing forwards, carrying their young ones and belongings as they pushed towards the center. There was no order to it. It was chaotic and messy.
Exactly what Zico wanted.
Minho looked to Mingi who was also looking at the sight with a grim expression on his face. No matter how you looked at it, just two of them controlling this crowd was nearly impossible. It wasn’t going to be easy whatsoever.
But they had to start somewhere.
Mingi rushed forward then, aiming towards a herd of people, easily outpacing them and stopping at the front of them with his arms stretched wide as a blockade. There were a few shocked gasps but also a few who recognized the young boy almost immediately.
“Mingi-ssi!?” Minho heard a voice from the mass call  “What are you doing?! Why are you stopping us?!”
Mingi looked at the crowd, his face dead serious. “Despite what Zico said, protocol calls for all evacuations to take place in the southern bunker!” he tried to yell over the chaos “I’m going to have to ask you to turn the other way!”
Hushed murmurs ripped through the crowd and Minho perked his ears forward to listen.
“That's true…” a female voice said.
“But why would Zico send us to the center if it wasn’t the safest…”
“No matter what it looks like we have orders…”
“Well I trust our leader!”
Please, Please… Minho pleaded.
But Minho’s plea was crushed as the crowd began to push Mingi backwards, choosing to continue on their path. He watched as Mingi was quickly shoved to the side by the masses and he ran forward, pulling him back up as the crown sprinted forward and away from them.
“Mingi-ssi!” he called, helping the boy off from the ground. “Are you okay?”
“Tch!” he spat. “They are choosing to believe Zico over me!”
“Well” Minho reasoned “They don’t know about Zico so of course they still trust him…”
Mingi punched the ground in front of them, his anger rising “Dammit!” he cured “If only Hongjoong hyung was here...”
“Mingi-ssi?” a voice called.
Minho turned to see a taller, older man with worn out blond hair looking at him from across the rushing street. He quickly made his way over to them, holding out a hand to Mingi.
Mingi looked up, taking the older boy's hand, a tired smile on his face. “Inpyo hyung!” he cried “Thank god you are here!”
The one named Inpyo nodded, his face grim “Once the alarm sounded my boys and I set out to help with the evacuations but we are having a bit of difficulties” he admitted. He then turned towards Minho, eyes narrowing in mild interest “Who is this?”
Mingi waved a hand in the air, “This is Minho. He and his group are helping us. Minho-” he turned, waving a hand at the taller man “This is Inpyo. He and his team are one of the best of our police force down here.”
“- Was ” Inpyo corrected, holding out his hand to Minho in greeting “We all retired a few years back when we couldn’t stand by Zico any longer.”
Minho nodded in greeting, taking his hand for a quick shake “I don’t blame you..”
Inpyo smiled at that and took his hand away. “Mingi,” he asked, turning back towards the younger “Why would Zico have the city evacuate to the center of the city?”
Mingi shook his head “I can’t explain right now, but it is all wrong hyung, the center of the city is the focal point of what's to come, and we need to get everyone to get away from there. But no one is willing to listen to me...”
Inpyo placed a hand on his chin, deep in thought.
“Asking them to believe in someone else over their trusted leader is a bit much for most people....” Inpyo mused.
“I understand that” Mingi agreed “But we have to convince them somehow…”
They were all quiet as chaos erupted around them, trying to think of a plan. Suddenly a thought came to Minho’s mind and he looked up at them with wide eyes.
“Inpyo-ssi?” Minho asked “When you say you were one of the best, how much did the people of The Under trust you? Did you have their respect?”
The question caught the older man off guard for a second but quietly nodded “Ah.”
Mingi scoffed “Didn they respect him? They practically worshiped the ground they all walked on…”
“Then why not have Inpyo and his team tell everyone where to evacuate?”
“As much as they trust me Minho,” Inpyo started “I’m still asking them to go against Zico’s orders...most won’t be willin-”
Minho held a finger up in the air to interrupt “But what if we don’t tell them to go against his orders?”
Mingi tilted his head in confusion “Okay, now I’m lost”
But Inpyo seemed to understand what Minho was getting at and nodded once “We tell them something different. Something they would believe came from Zico himself...”
Minho smiled, a small bode of confidence sparking in him “Instead of telling them the evacuation site has changed, we tell them that the center bunker is too full and overflow needs to evacuate to the southern bunker.”
Mingi’s eyes widened in realization while Inpyo nodded “It might work, especially if it comes from our mouths.”
“Hyung” Mingi suddenly turned and looked at the elder boy “Where’s Jiahn and the others? Can you get in contact with him? Have them help?”
Inpyo nodded, pulling out a small phone “I scattered them all to various districts. But I can call them and update the plan.  Jiahn should be in the center of the city right now...”
Minho looked at the elder boy, chewing his bottom lip in worry. “If I can ask Inpyo-ssi. One of my hyungs should be arriving in the center region any second now to help with the evacuation. Maybe your friend could meet up with him.”
Inpyo smiled softly and nodded, “Better as teams than opposing forces. Who is your friend?”
“It’s Woojin hyung” Mingi answered. Inpyo’s face widened in mild surprise and he looked at Mingi with curiosity in his eyes “Woojin? Woojin is in the same group as Minho. Wooyoung is in the North with another of their teammates and Jongho is in the Western quadrant.”
Inpyo eyed him with a mildly disappointed look “And Hongjoong? Where are the rest of your teammates Mingi?”
The taller boy shook his head “Not enough time hyung. Just know they are all doing their part in this. Please hyung….We could really use your help…”
Inpyo nodded looking at the two of them. “I’ll get in contact with my team. Don’t fret Mingi-ya. The Under won't die here is I have anything to say about it.”
They stayed quiet as Inpyo opened his small phone and quickly dialed a few numbers. There was a few more heartbeats of quiet as he put the device to his ear, but soon enough they heard a click and a muffled voice on the other line.
“Jiahn hyung-yes yes I'm okay. Listen, plans changed” he started “We were right. Something is fishy with the center evacuation. We need to evacuate them to the sou-oh?” he stopped midstence as the voice spoke to him and Minho watched as he nodded in response “I get it. You met Woojin already and he told you. Okay. Well tell the people that the center is full and Zico has ordered the overflow to the south. Can you pass the information to Isaac and Yeontae’s groups? Great Thank you. Tell them when their sections are done and they have done a sweep to report to the southern bunker.”
And like that, without even saying goodbye the elder boy quickly shut the phone and turned back to look at them.
“For trusting sake, Mingi keep Minho with you as you work your ways inwards. We have a lot of ground to cover and not a lot of time.”
Both boys nodded and stood up from the ground, pounding their feet on the ground as they began to run into the crowd. A familiar sense of dread suddenly filled Minho to his core and he swallowed hard, his heart beat racing. 
Why did he feel like something terrible was about to happen?

Cat or Dog Person: I am a D O G person through and through!!! Although I have nothing against cats(I adore them too) I just prefer furry bby dogs.

Dream Trip: I would really love to go on a train/road trip through Europe. There's something about experiencing things first hand by going in a road trip and meeting new people and embracing new cultures, you can't get this by simply going to hotels and planned famous tourist attractions. In my opinion to get a full grasp of the soul of a country and its culture, you have to discover it yourself with good company and good food. Spontaneity at its finest.
# of Blankets I Sleep With: 😂 I have around 8 to 10 big, fluffy blankets in my closet. What can I say? I am a blanket connoisseur of sorts. XD
Blog Established: Pshhh... I dunno some time around May???
Followers: 20, I think? I dunno, I don't keep count 😂
Fun Fact(s): I dunno what you'll do with this information but... I like to think I'm a decent cook 😂 (my family and friends complements my cooking so I guess that's something?🤷‍♀), I'm a complete geek/nerd for my fandoms(if you haven't noticed), I can play the guitar/bass/ukulele/harmonica/flute, I can sing? Kind of, I know how to survive in the wild,
I once almost died because of my stupid self thinking that stepping in a glass table and jumping on it was a smart idea. I was five when this happened. I escaped without a scratch. I was scolded to death by my lola(grandmother). I was the one tasked to clean the mess after being talked my ear outXD
Alright ladies and gents! Tagging time! 🙃

Love y'all. Stay safe! Eat cake! 😂 stay inside your homes! Wash your hands!
Honestly during this time of being quarantined I have never been more happy. Stuck in my house with food, wi-fi, books, cellphone, laptop, my dog, Netflix, and unlimited amount of fanfics??? Umm. Yes please! I don't even have to human 😍

I'm rewatching the Lord of the Rings extended edition for comfort rn and it's really nice hadn't watched it in yeeeears and it was one of my first fandoms as a kid like i taught myself poems in elvish and shit anyway my opinion now is :
- the whole drama configuration between Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir and Eowyn is still my fave thing like what delicious angst ! I'm still not over the fact that Aragorn was to Boromir what he himself was to Faramir in a sense, this older cooler guy with more power than him he couldn't be on the level of. Or that Boromir's desperate actions to defend his people were what pushed Aragorn to start getting his head out of his ass and stop running away from his destiny. Or that Faramir learning that his brother he so idolized gave in to the ring's power was what caused him to let Frodo go at the peril of his own life. Or that Eowyn loved Aragorn for his warrior qualities but it was his healer side that saved her and made him a good king later on. There are so many good things there about compassion, but also understanding that even though those heroes you look up to did their best, they didn't always have the right answers, and that often true power lies in letting go of the idea of glory ; the importance of humility and the things that grow and true friendship yeah i'm emo
- the elves are anoyyyyyyinggggggg which sucks because like their design is top notch. But they're so bland and sanctimonious and gloomy. Except Legolas, who's a sassy badass (because he's got some dwarf in him lmao) and Galadriel, because she's tricksterish and creepy. I feel this would have been so much better if the elves were more creepy, uncanny forces of nature instead of these fantasy protestants
- it boggles my mind how the humor can boil down to this stupid 'Gimli is fat lol' humor at times but also Sam is like one of the most flattering portrayals of a fat character ever. Like he's a bit thick headed at times but he's so constant and brave and like, the true hero of the story. Which, good.
- the love story between Aragorn and Arwen is still as lame as ever, like it's all about the Aesthetics with those two we are never given one reason why they love each other it's so cringe. They both very Pretty tho like my writer self is like yawn but my bi ass is like OOOOO
- never realized this before but oh my god Frodo is a baby ! I want to wrap him in a blanket
- i just love Merry and Pippin so much they're the Fred and George characters but even better in the sense that they start as comic relief but their arcs become so deep and there is also something abt the importance of humor in times of darkness and Yeah
- not gonna pretend their gender dynamics are in any way progressive since they have like 2.5 women in this but i just love how the male heroes are like these stalwart figures of masculine bravery but they're also constantly crying and emoting and hugging each other and professing their undying devotion to each other. Special kudos to gay icon Ian McKellan for convincing the actors to play Sam and Frodo Like That lol
- all in all i just really love the extended editions. Because a lot of what got cut is the stuff that...even if less integral to the plot, is what makes the characters much more real and human. Like Sam carrying salt with herbs to Mordor so he can make roast chicken, or Faramir remembering the last time he spoke to his brother before his death, or Merry and Pippin finding a full pantry at Isengard w smokeleaf after their ordeal with the orcs. Without these things it feels a lot more remote.

SPILL THE TEA TOP THREE LOTR HEADCANONS GO
woAH HOLY FUCK IT ACTUALLY WORKED SJDJDHDB
these are all gonna be short bc I'm in the middle of AP environmental but here's a brief summary:
1. Aragorn is a disaster bi. Arwen? Yes. Legolas? Yes. Boromir? Yes. Éowyn? Yes. He's trying his best but they just keep coming,,,someone help him,,,,, (prime dad AND daddy material y'all)
2. The only reason Boromir died is because no one wanted to acknowledge that he was .3 seconds away from just straight up adopting the hobbits
And finally,
3. Faramir writes emo poetry. I'm sorry I don't make the rules
(@fourth-best-jeanist I love you)
