Airheaded S/O Headcannons #7: Jinx (Arcane)
Tumblr media
Starting off on a strong point, you are her everything.
She's known you since the days when Vander was still around.
You were the clumsy kid who competed with Ekko to bring her juice (Even if you always spilled it anyways)
You were the only one who managed to mess up worse than her
And as Powder, she used that to her advantage whenever someone called her a jinx
"Y/n broke five glasses yesterday by just standing, but I'm the jinx?"
But even back then it wasn't coming from a bad place, more of an understanding one.
Zaun didn't take too kindly to screw-ups, and you two were probably the biggest.
You weren't there the night everything went to shit.
So when you showed up to the bar the next day and both Benzo and Ekko were missing, you just assumed they'd quit and abandoned it.
A few days later and a man named Silco came in saying 'the bar was under new management.'
To which you replied with an 'okay!' 😃 just happy to have people again.
Then you saw Powder by his side and raced behind the counter to get her favorite juice
Only to end up faceplanting on the floor as you tripped, then proceeded to try again about 6 more times.
It resulted in Jinx smiling for the first time in days.
From then on, you're hers forever. No take backsies 😡😡😡
Whenever she wants to get away from the hallucinations voices, she'll stop by the newly renovated bar/brothel and watch you attempt to hand out drinks.
Seeing you spill it over the patrons and having them not being able to do a damn thing about it brings her so much joy.
She 100% babies you and makes Silco's henchmen do the same.
You cut yourself with glass?
Don't worry, Mama's here with a very colorful bandage and a kiss to top it off.
Having problems with the Enforcers?
Silco's paying them off (threatening them) so they leave you alone.
Inhaled too many toxic fumes and got sick?
Only soup and warm blankets for you. And cuddles. And mayhaps a bedtime story.
You are the only person allowed to call Jinx 'Powder'.
She'll kill anyone else
In Zaun, you have to be strong to survive.
And in your special case, you've punched someone harder than Vander with his gloves because they said something mean about Jinx.
The patrons at the bar all of a sudden don't wanna fight you when you make a mess.
Silco, although he despises anyone that tries to get close to his daughter, will tolerate you simply because you're too stupid to be a threat.
Although he does also like that you can hold your own if push comes to shove
He doesn't want a weakling to drag down Jinx.
It's a fact that Jinx is a brainiac when it comes to tech.
Whenever she's working on a new bomb or upgrading FishBones, she's always rambling on to you about how it works.
Even if you have no clue and stare all blank faced.
A look she adores and calls your 'thinking face'
She won't ever make fun of you for not getting things right away because you have so much more to offer than your non existent brain.
You've been there for her through everything and not once did you ever call her a jinx
Even now you don't call her by her new name.
She'll be having an episode, shouting at people who weren't there anymore, and you always wait for her to get her bearings with her favorite juice placed in front of her.
Jinx has two rules for any people that cross her path
#1 Don't bring up the Vander incident
#2 Don't call Y/n an idiot.
Anybody who tries the second is immediately shot on the spot.
No slander will be tolerated.
You two haven't officially asked the other out.
It's more of an 'I'm yours and you're mine' kinda thing.
Jinx likes to call you sunshine because you're the only light in a very dark world.
Other favorites include: sweets, baby, tough stuff, and the occasional toots
Jinx has never really had anything to call her own, so she will absolutely get jealous if someone has your attention for 1 second.
Why do you wanna even talk to anybody else? Is she not good enough anymore?
"I'm just trying to earn tips, but if you want me to take the rest of the night off I will. You're perfect, Powder."
And she's sobbing, smooshing herself against you to get as close as possible.
She's got you in a death grip saying 'she loves you so much' and 'that she's sorry' and 'wants you to keep working'.
But she makes you promise to take the next day off so she can spend the day talking your ear off while cuddling.
You're her everything, even if most of the time you're a bigger jinx than she is.
NEXT UP: Giovanni Potage
MASTERLIST
Then we start to circle back around, so stay tuned 🤞🤞🤞

Name: Fish Bone
Debut: Super Mario World
Fish Bones are—hey! We’ve already talked about you, and very recently at that! We love you, Fish Bone, but it’s time to stop hogging the spotlight!
Tumblr media
Name: Fishbone
Debut: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
There we go!
It’s that funky fresh time of year where all the strange Mario creatures retract into their holes to make way for other, stranger beasts, and boy is Fishbone strange!
Fishbones are the reanimated skeletons of dead fish, and golly, what a great skeleton to have! Just three boomerang-shaped bones and two hollow eye sockets. No spine, no discernable jaws of any kind, just pure, abject salminimalism! I bet you wouldn’t even know these were bones if I didn’t tell you, and yet they still manage to evoke a fish skeleton so well!
But whose skeletons ARE they? While we don’t have any direct confirmation, it feels pretty likely to me that we have the skeletons of dear old Floppers on our hands! There’s a common fish enemy in most Kirby games called Blippers, but Blippers are entirely absent from Kirby 64, and Floppers are a lot thinner and pointier than them anyhow!
Tumblr media
But even with that in mind…wow! This still only barely looks like it could be in a Flopper. Just a wonderfully abstract skeletal structure all around. And it only gets weirder from here!
There’s a reason for the peculiar shape of Fishbone’s head! Rather than hop or jump around like most water-based enemies, they shoot their skulls at Kirby for damage! (Don’t worry, it grows back!) Why, you may ask? Well, they provide the Cutter ability, which in Kirby 64 looks like this!:
Tumblr media
Most underwater enemies in Kirby don’t give abilities, since Kirby typically can’t inhale while in water (understandable!). He can do this in Kirby 64, though! With them shooting their heads to attack and being fairly common, this makes Fishbones the most Cutterest enemy in the whole game, even more Cuttery than Sir Kibble himself!
Tumblr media
They are, in fact, SO Cuttery that Miracle Matter’s embodiment of said ability looks a lot like Fishbones!
They STILL couldn’t get enough of Fishbone, though! If you inhale and carry it over your head, you can shoot its skulls yourself! Due to the way Cutter works, this is actually MORE ideal to use when you’re underwater, since using the ability makes Kirby sink!
Sadly, they reverted how Cutter works after this, and with Kirby going right back to spitting bubbles underwater, Fishbones didn’t stand a chance ): Despite its awesome design, it just joined the foray of thousands of other Kirby 64 enemies to never see the light of day again.
But who knows? Maybe it will appear in a future game, just like beloved Plugg, and grant the Cutter ability once more! After all, the Kirby franchise has finally started begrudgingly acknowledging that Kirby 64 did, in fact, exist.
And I think that any enemy that can say they could be combined with Ghost Knight to inexplicably let Kirby create a giant toothy maw out of his arms, deserves a second chance. :)
Tumblr media
Before you ask, no, there’s no way Fishbones could come from the only OTHER bony fish in Kirby 64, Blowfish, either. As for why, let’s take a gander at the scrapped enemy Blowfishbone herself!
Tumblr media
“Oouuughh…I am–I’m so, so many bones…ooohgghhgh…”
Thank you, Blowfishbone.

❀ ❝ 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗸? ❞
━ azul ashengrotto x gn! reader (reader can either be yuu or an oc/twstsona) ━ after receiving a letter from azul, you decided to pay a visit to mostro lounge to get your complimentary drink. (inspired by twst valentine cards 2021) (f/n means first name)
do not steal or translate without my permission.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
my dear friend, thank you so very much for this absolutely wonderful present. i am positively overjoyed to receive such an affectionate gift. when you have the time, please do drop by the mostro lounge. present the enclosed card at the door and you can enjoy a complimentary drink on me. ━ azul ashengrotto
Tumblr media
a smile ghosted its way over your lips as you read azul’s returning card, finding it sweet of him to do this gesture all because you gave him a valentine's gift. you placed the card on your desk and made yourself look presentable before visiting the lounge. 
“are you going somewhere?” asked grim, “we ran out of tuna cans, so go buy some!” you let out a hum in response before patting his head and telling him to behave. you then ran out of your dorm, holding the card that azul told you to present for a complimentary drink.
as soon as you step onto the floors of mostro lounge, jazz music can be heard along with the chatter of students from different dorms and sounds of glasses and plates clinking, hinting that it is mostro lounge's busy hour.
“little shrimpy!”
hearing that familiar call, you looked around and spotted the twins sitting by the bar. you waved at them and sat beside floyd as you had a conversation with the twins while sipping on your drink.
the aura of mostro lounge was relaxing which is why it is one of your favourite places in nrc.
“azul is available if you wish to speak to him,” says jade as he seems to know the reason for your “free” drink, “he’s in his office right now.” he smiled at you and you replied with thanks before you walked towards his office while holding your half-finished drink. 
you gently knocked on his office door three times, hoping you weren’t disturbing him. “come in,” voiced out the male as you turned the doorknob and entered his office. you smiled at him as he smiled back, gesturing you to sit on the couch. 
“i see you have received your drink,” said azul, “do you like it?” you let out a hum as you nodded, “aren’t you going to have a drink too?”
it felt awkward for you to be the only one enjoying a beverage and you wanted to have a drink with him, but he shook his head and told you he was fine and that you should finish your drink first.
you nodded and placed the cup on his desk once you were finished, causing him to stand up and grab your cup before walking towards to door.
“i’ll be back,” said azul as he left you in his office. you nodded and made yourself sink into the comfortable couch.
it was cold in his office ━ not the shivering type of cold, but the refreshing type, similar to the scenarios when you enter a cold room after a long day out in the uncomfortable heat. it felt relaxing and you wanted to sleep, but you thought that would be embarrassing.
your eyes trailed around his beautiful office before landing on his desk, a blue folder laid flat on the surface on the further left side with his fishbone pen placed neatly on its holder. it was neat, as expected from azul.
seconds later, the door opened revealing azul with two glasses filled with your drink of choice. he arranged the glasses down on the table and sat on his leather chair.
“care for another drink? with me, this time,” uttered azul as he grabbed his glass. you took yours and thanked him before clinking your glasses together and taking a sip of your drink.
“thank you again,” said azul as he smiled at you, “that was... thoughtful of you.”
you avoided his gaze for a moment and stared at the drink in your glass. you did not know what to say, wondering if the feelings you desired to convey to him through that gift were clear. however from your point of view at the moment, it doesn't seem like your feelings were communicated properly.
“glad you like it,” you mumbled as you continued gulping down on your drink. you continued to lounge around azul's office for a while and had a pleasant conversation with him.
unbeknownst to the man before you, your heart was racing the entire time, feeling as if you were lucky to have this moment with someone that you are head over heels for. 
hours later, you have decided it was time to rest for the night. you stood up and thanked him for his time and how you enjoyed being around him before turning around and walking towards his door.
suddenly, he held your wrist before you could walk away any further. his touch was gentle as his voice called out, “wait...!” 
out of curiosity, you turned around to look at him and questioned, “is there something else?”
azul was silent for a moment before leaning towards you and placing a soft kiss on your lips, then he pulled away and smiled, “sleep tight, love.”

Could u please make n11 with Jinx, vi, caitlyn, cat, dina and ellie?
(Hello! So sorry but I cut out Caitlyn bc six characters is a lot, so sorry but here ya go, Enjoy!)
Falling Asleep On Them
Jinx
Tumblr media
This happens more than you would think
For both of you, really
Jinx doesn’t usually sleep at night, just naps here and there
How does she do it?
I have no freaking clue
But she was just at her desk, coloring on Fishbones because she found the parts
It was pretty bare so why not spice it up and add some mother fucking color
That it the Jinx way
So, as she is coloring the face onto it, she heard your footsteps on the metal of the huge fans
She was about to call out to you, say Hi and whatever
But she was cut off when she just felt you grab her chair and turn her around
She was confused but you just climbed into her lap and just…fell asleep
She just looked down at you for a bit before giggling to herself
She shushed herself like “Shush, (Name)’s sleeping.”
She was all smiling before she turned back to her desk and continued with her drawing
She doesn’t care if your taller than her, no matter your body built or weight
Sleep on her, she doesn't care!
It makes her happy!
Vi
Tumblr media
Vi likes holding you, for some reason
She just likes knowing you are there
She also likes being held tbh
So if you let her sleep on you from time to time, she’ll let you take a nap on her
On her shoulder, in her lap or with your head in her lap
She doesn’t care
As long as she can continue with whatever she is doing, she’s fine
But if she were ever in a situation where she couldn’t continue in fear of waking you up
You will wake up to her frozen in that exact position
She was wrapping her hands after another fight
Really Vi, really?
Anyways
She was wrapping her hand before she looked up and saw you sit in front of her on your guys’ bed
She just smiled at you and said Hi
She was confused when you didn’t respond but she just kinda smirked as you climbed into her lap
She had finished wrapping her hands anyway and just let you
After you were all good and comfortable, you fell asleep
She did not move at all, let me tell you
She didn’t move you either
She just sat there until probably hours later when you woke up
She didn’t care if she was starving, had to use the bathroom, got bored
Her motto is “Don’t move (Name), ever.”
Cat
Tumblr media
You don’t fall asleep on Cat much
Only when you feel like it or just need to be held tbh
She doesn’t like the feeling of not being able to move
So if you do fall asleep on her, it won’t be for a very long time
Like an hour or an hour and a half maybe
And that’s a hard maybe
The most you have ever napped on her was about forty-five minutes
She wasn’t doing much though when you did this time
She was just messing with some markers, drawing on her jacket since the previous colors had faded
And she heard the door to her room open
She looked up and just saw you plop onto the couch next to her
“Hey, Baby.” She would just give a quick smile before you already made your move
Pushing her hand aside and maneuvering your way into her lap
Cat kinda just sat there and watched you do it
She kinda excepted it because she heard around your patrol squad the day you had
She would just let you have it this time
Once you were all good, you fell asleep and Cat just resumed what she was doing
She let you sleep on her for a little longer than normal
Be happy though!
It’s an accomplishment!
Dina
Tumblr media
Dina actually encourages you to sleep in her lap!
She likes holding you and being warm, especially on a particularly cold day in Jackson
She likes sleeping on your lap also from time to time
But actually prefers you sleeping in hers
She was about as sleep as you were when you walked through the door and joined her
She just laid there and let you climb into her lap and get comfy
“Why, hello there.”
Dina just bid with a smile, hugging you for a moment as you just laid your head on her chest
You both got pretty comfortable and warm
It’s no secret that you both fell asleep pretty quickly
It was a good nap
You both ended up in a pile of limbs after waking up but it’s a good way to wake up!
These are actually Dina’s favorite moments with you tbh
Ellie
Tumblr media
Ellie is smug about you being comfortable around her and sleeping on her
She doesn’t care if your bigger, smaller or taller than her
Throw that shit out the window and sleep on her for God sake!
She was finishing some sketches up in her journal when she heard the door opened
She was sitting on her bed also and just watched as you climbed over to her all quiet
She just smiled and set her journal down 
She helped you get comfortable also
“Tired now, are we?”
“Shut up.”
She would probably just laugh and lay back with you on top of her
She will hold her journal up behind your back to finish up but she also sometimes rubs your back
She will run her hand through your hair time and time again just because
Eventually, like Dina, would fall asleep too
She just wakes up and her book fell over on your back and her pencil rolled onto the floor
She probably went back to sleep
And when you wake up, you better pray she woke up also
Because she has a grip of steel and lets say this is not a situation you can get out of easily

can i request a uppermoons x female reader who is like jinx from arcane (you can watch arcane on netflix!!)
I have watched Arcane, good show, saying it as a person who never played LOL. It's one of those series where one minute leaves 3 hours discussion of a topic, and Jinx is wonderful in it. I love what they do with her, showing her struggles with her mental issues and the violent and political world around her, one having to accept that she is very hard to deal with as everyone is trying their best and failing at whatever they are doing.
Let's see if I can make her justice.
Tumblr media
Female Reader like Jinx (Arcane ver) interacting with the Uppermoons
Warnings: Small Hantengu, Cannibalism, Unhealthy relationships, Mental health issues and neglect, Bad coping mechanism, Implied polyamory (can be read with Hantengu and all the clones, some or just one), Excesive use of violence, Bullying, Mentioned non-character human death amd Slight angst.
Tumblr media
Gyutaro (ft. Daki):
If Gyutaro had a yen for every girl that got attached to him in an unhealthy manor creating a dynamic of co-dependance due several mental issues that remained unsolved because his over-protectiveness and his comforming nature, he would have two yen. Which isn't much, but it's weird it happened twice, specially with how ugly he is. But Daki doesn't mind and you seem to like his unsettling face and body. Gyutaro is not against taking care of you both, he doesn't mind and will gladly make his life about someone he loves for the sake of having any worth and purpose...
The problem, or one of them, at least, is that Daki nor you like Gyutaro taking care of the other. You both seem to want the older demon for yourselves, having him comforting you, making every tiny bit of ick and pain go away. "I was here first! I was with him before you! I will be here when you are gone! You are only a phase! Get lost and stop bothering my onii-chan!" "Shut up! If I am a phase then why are you so bratty about it! Just accept that your brother likes me better than you! Right Nichi-nichi?" You talk to a blade from a dead slayer that you turned into a snake toy, hearing what it has to say. Nichi-nichi agrees with you, "of course you are more likable than that Daki bitch", you knew it would agree. And yes, Nichi-nichi pronouns are it/them, thank you very much.
Gyutaro just puts himself in between you both, letting you grab one of his arm and pull as she grabs the other. "Enough! Ne, both of you! Stop insulting each other, ne." He scolds both of you, not minding as both of you play with his arms, Daki bringing his hand to her face to have Gyutaro comforting her. "Onii-chan! Onii-chan, Y/N was mean to me!" Really, he has no idea how to deal with you both. What is he even meant to do, last time he chose Daki as the winner of the argument you not only tried to harm her but harmed yourself in the process. And he can't just... not side his little sister. The worst part is that he doesn't want you to leave, and you don't want to leave neither.
"Please, ne.. stop fighting." He pulls both of you into a hug, letting his sister nuzzle against his stomach and you against his hack, using his hands to sooth both of you, sighing when you both relax enough to the point you are almost asleep. Seriously, what is he meant to do?
Gyokko:
"STOP STEALING MY MATERIALS, YOU CRAZY WOMAN!!" He screams on top of his lungs as you stole some bones and katanas, besides some paint and ceramics to build a 4 bladed gun with shark appereance... with his stuff. "What?" You ask him, seeing his horrified look at the materials spread on the floor, some even wasted, to make... to make.. "What even is that?" He ask, not really knowing what to say, feeling his head is going to explode. "You like him? His name is Fishbones! He is a fish, just like you! Say "hi" Fishbones! "Hello Gyokko, is very nice to meet ya"."
Fishbones... fishbones, of course. WHY THAT PIECE OF TRASH HAS A NAME! WHY ARE YOU- WHY?! "My head hurts." He really doesn't know how to deal with the insane, with you. He means, you are fun to be around, always helpful to kill people and fetch materials of all times, you are also very creative and a piece of joy... most of the time. Other times you just behave like a brat, and he would usually get rid of you by now but he guess it was his mistake to warm up to you.
"Hey! It's rude to ignore people, Mer-artist. Fishbones is sad now!" You move Fishbones so the "face" looks down for him to be able to express his sadness. Sometimes Gyokko is just so rude! He should thank the gods that he is funny and has the best materials for art, or else you wouldn't stick around. He makes a weird face, which you guess could also be a normal face since his face is weird, and you just tale Fishbones closer to you. "Don't worry, Fishbones. The ugly mermaid is just like that, he will warm up to you." You reach your ear closer to hear what he has to say as Gyokko decides to ignore you for now, and god that was funny, you laugh at Fishbone's voices. "Hahaha! Good one!"
"Why did I do this to myself?" He ascts as he sees you running away to play... he should have just killed you the day he met you. For real.
Hantengu + Clones:
Hantengu... stands you. You are not the safest person to be around and not only he feels intimidated by you, but also a bit afraid. You are always on something, so, while he appreciates you and likes you, he prefers leaving you to his clones most of the time, who can entertain you and keep up with you easier. That doesn't stop you from pulling him off his safe space, taking in your hand when he is small and running around with him. "AHHHH! EEEEAAK! LET ME GO, PLEASE LET ME GO!" You only laugh and keep running as Karaku laughs while Urogi flies over your head, playing with you. "I will catch you! I will catch you!" "Try to catch me! But I have Hantengu! I am the queen of the ga-" you are interrupted with Sekido and Aizetsu arriving.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING! CAREFUL WITH THE MAIN BODY!" He says angrily as he walks where you are, everyone in their places without moving, until Sekido tries to reach your arm, making you dodge and keep running. "Catch me if you can!" Everyone stays dumbfounded for a while as Hantengu begins to scream again, grabbing himself on your fingers as the anger clone starts to build up fury as Karaku and Urogi begin laughing. "This is so sad, Hantengu looks like he will throw up. You are all just torturing the poor thing." Knowing he won't be heard, the sad clone just steps aside as Sekido explodes. "Y/N YOU FUCKING-"
He was about to strike you with the power of his staff but Karaku stops him as Urogi keeps chasing you. "Hey, hey, Sekido. Don't get so angry or you will be the one hurting the main body!" All the arteries seem to want to explode with some veins in the anger clone body, who just looks at the pleasure clone before stabbing him "THEN YOU GO GET THEM, YOU LAZY FUCK!" Karaku laughs as he heals "Ok! Guys! I was told to play with ya all!" This, again, angers Sekido as you all start chasing each other, except for Aizetsu who was waiting for everyone to calm down before inserting himself in all the action.
You like this group, it's mostly cozy and there is always someone willing to pay attention to you, to take care of you, listen to you. There are no expectations, just fun, being able to be a chaotic as you want, and you get to prove who you are in battle. "Got you!" Urogi lands on top of you, the impulse making you throw Hantengu in the air, being catched by Aizetsu's spear. "I think that was enough for today. It's making me sad." "Hahaha, great catch you both!" "Thanks!" "So scary! So scary!" "Can't you all stop causing trouble?!" Ypu would not change them for nothing. "That was great! Who wants another game?" "YES!" "NO!"
Nakime:
Look, you are a lovely woman, Nakime thinks it's endearing how you make your own projects and build up little things, as chaotic as they mey turn. You have like 7 rooms and 5 hallways to destroy as you wish in her castle, where you create your tinckets. She is very patient with you, listening to your problems when you want to talk about them, which you barely do, and gives you space when you need it. Sure, she doesn't talk as much as you probably wished she did, and Nakime does have her responsibilities, she still doesn't understand...
What did she ever do to you to blow up her room?! Nakime doesn't need to sleep, but of course she keeps a place for herself, one with luxuries and things she would have liked to have as a human, and now the surfaces are all burned up with the place destroyed. Her books, dresses, extra biwas... all gone. She doesn't even know how to react, the biwa of her Blood Demon Art almost slipping through her fingers. No words come from her mouth as you stand there, also burned but not as harmed as you could be. "Hey! Haha... this is not what it looks like."
Nakime then comes out of her shock. "What happened?" She knows better than to word it as "what did you do" since... you are not stable, at all. She understands that, and she also understand you have different needs from her, that your way of interacting with the world is naturally... other. Nakime likes to think that her stability is something that you need, something that will be good for you, as long as she can keep everything under control, as long as you both are in the castle. "I... wanted to make you a gift... but it didn't work like I wanted." You are guilty, you know how much Nakime loved the things in her room and you ruined it.
No, what are you talking about? You didn't ruin anythin, you had good intentions, you wanted to be helpful. That is enough, righ? You don't need to feel guilty about it, right? Right?! Nakime takes a deep breath before putting her hands in the side of you face gently, you can feel her loong nails scare away the ick and noise of your self doubt as her palms, not soft nor harsh, comfort you. "Ok. How about you lead me to your rooms next time." She is angry, but she also understand that her anger will be harmful, so as long as she can control everything... it will be fine. "Ok, next time!" You rush to put aside any bad feeling, relying in Nakime's stability for it.
Akaza:
He has to take care of you, he understands... you are a woman, and you are sick. Not the typical sick that can be cured, not that it ever bothered, but a sick more like... like Douma, not that Akaza will ever admit it. You have problems, a lot of them, and most lead you to cause problems. He understands that you want to prove your worth at the same time you just want to be able to live your life, he really does... but you need to stop. You need a break. To try and heal and it's awful because he can't nurse you as he should-
"Pinkie-flake! What are you thinking about? Your frown can basically shout in my ear." He doesn't get startled even when you break his concentration as you jump over his back, wanting a bit of attention. Akaza is nice, too worried for it to be healthy for either of you, as far as you are concerned, but he served as the best source of comfort. Now, if only he dared to let you fight, then things would be much better. Still, you like him a lot, Akaza lets you rambles and pays attention to you, trying to find solutions to your problems and is always around, so you never feel lonely or abandoned. "C'mon! Smile for me!" You say as you move to sit on his lap.
It's an innocent gesture, unlike what anyone would think, and Akaza understand that you want, need, the physical contact as he moves his arms to hold you in a more stable way. "C'mon 'flakes, say something!" He only looks at you for a while, not having idea what to say, or to do, besides embrace you close. It's a bit scary to not know what to do with you, because you do need help even if you don't want to accept it. Help that he can't give. "I'm thinking." Is all the can mutter.
You are not fine with not being told what is happening, so you start to poke his cheek with your finger, making sounds effects when you do. Akaza still lets's you be, berely noticing when the finger is replaced by a knife, stabbing the side of his mouth, blade meeting his teeth and tongue with the metalic taste of blood and the weapon itself. He turns to see you as he heals. "Oops... my bad." You laugh nerviiusly as you put the knife away, and Akaza feels like he is about to cry at the loss. "It's ok. It doesn't really affect me." "like if affects on you", he doesn't say.
Douma:
"Y/N! Can I ask you a favor? I have a pretty lady in my room, could you go there and make me dinner while I finish speaking with a recent follower of mine?" You do, eager to prove that you can do it, eager to test a new item you made with materials Douma gave you, you want to show you appreciate it, that you can help. You just want to help. So you do, as much as you can, even if that includes killing an innocent woman. If you are affected by it or not, it's not your priority.
"Well, it's a bit messy here." He comments, you over did it, you can admit that, but it's not like Douma minds. On the contrary, he seems cheerful at it. "Not that I would left the place better, my killings are almost clean, but I am a messy eater." He sits besides you as you smirk and laugh "Oopsie." He only laughs with you as he picks up a piece of leg and takes a bite, blood splashing in his face, making you laugh louder. "So..." he starts after chewing a little, swallowing before he continues. "How was your day?"
You start to ramble about it, making jokes and comments, sharing the moments with Douma as he listens, or is very good pretending at the least. He is interactive, but a paranoid part wonders if it's because he grew up doing this, he knows how to react, but does he actually care? Still, you would not just stop coming to Douma, who is not only a good resource of... everything, honestly, but he is just great. He lets's you do as you want, makes sure to listen, you both can have fun together, gives you chances to prove yourself. Really, why would you dislike Douma? Because he is fake? New flash, not everyone is as honest as they like to pretend they are.
Douma finds you entertaining, odd and new, exciting. He understand that you are both weird, that you should have been in a way that was not the same results as expected. Something is wrong with you, just like something is wrong with every demon he has met, himself included. Maybe one day he can turn you into one, would be hell of a demon lady, might even reach the Kizuki system. But those are thoughts, right now he is pretending he can help you, when honestly, nobody can. "Oh, really? Tell me more."
Kokushibou:
Kokushibou doesn't know what to do with you, rambling and using objects as toys, he thinks you as childish. It doesn't help the fact that you are sensitive, getting upset quite easily, but hiding it most of the time. Not that he would like to be responsible for your feelings, he can barely deal with his, so both of you shutting them down seems good enough. "Shi-Bobo! How've ya been! Missed me?" Urg, and the nickname. Seriously, he doesn't even know if you mean it as "death-eye-eye" or "death-moo-moo", why are you calling him that?
"It's not appropriate to call me that." Is the only thing he says, ignoring his question asn you walk around him playfully, slowly and gracefully before suddenly jumping on hin, graving yourself by his shoulders as you put a knife in his throat. Is it even a nichirin one? "C'mon, give a girl a break. It's always "blah blah blah rules! Blah blah etiquette! Blah bla blo-bloring-boring!" Say something fun for once!" His answer? Silence.
"Urg! You are so boring." You put the knife away, losing interest due the lack of reaction. Is it really too much to want something to happen? Something fun! A distraction from... ya know... everything. You really like Kokushibou, he is pretty and elegant, sometimes shy, which makes him easy to mess with. Other times he is just stoic, reacting at nothing, so you always have different buttons to press. So you move around him again before suddenly cutting one leg of his hakama pants and a little bit os skin. He didn't dodge due the surprise and the fact you didn't really hurt him... well, his pride is hurt with a leg exposed.
"What is wrong with you?!" He almost screams, almost, as he raises his voice and face becomes red ah he looks bashed and angry at you at the same time, you didn't know that mix was possible before him. "Awww. Is Shi-Bobo embarrased that his leg got exposed? Is he afraid to be grabbed by it? Big strong demon not liking the attention?" He reaches his sword, genuinely questioning if he should draw it out and slain you. He takes a few breaths, calming down, clearly flustered as you keep talking, not bothering with the fact he is doing his best to ignore you, but then.... "Run or I will end you." Some seconds of silence before you laugh and start running. "Sure, let's play tag! You're it!" He really doesn't know why he bothers to try with you. Really.

Favorite Solangelo head canon????????? I feel like you’ve explained before but please tell me cause I am both forgetful and curious
peter my beloved i am so late in answering this but i have just had no clue where to begin because i have so many
not exactly solangelo but adjacent nico does basically all of his activities meals, chores, capture the flag, what have you with the apollo cabin. He’s practically adopted.
with that as soon as apollo cabin found out that solangelo were dating they immediately started calling nico brother in law ( he was a little weirded out at first but he’s used to it now)
nico and will are absolute menaces. they constantly bend the rules, using excuse like ‘i have a doctors note’.Chiron is so sick of their bs but doesn’t say shit
speaking of which will and nico have lots of sleepovers in hades cabin (they cite nicos nightmares as the reason why they should be able to) and chiron just accepts it cause he knows he can’t stop those two
NICO BRINGS WILL COFFEE. this is so near and dear to me. when will has a late/ early shift nico will show up at some point to bring him coffee
nico is also usually the only one that can make will take a break as well, because despite how much will nags on nico to take care of himself, will is a huge hypocrite and constantly overworks himself. Nico will literally sit on wills to force him to take a break
nico is a dog person will is a cat person
when they’re a little older and they live together will finds a stray cat on the street and obviously they adopt him. they’re both terrible with names and name him something silly like fish bone. will adores fishbone while nico jokingly hates him (they both love fish bone very much)
adhd autism solidarity ( you decide who)
both friends with drew but in very diff ways
i have a whole lot more and these aren’t even my favs (sorry!) but they were at the top of my head

Very interestingly Jinx never calls Silco anything. She refers to him by his name once during her speech to Vi, while she’s trying to win her over and distance herself from Silco. So there’s this unspoken ‘dad’ thing going on (maybe it will connect to how and why she chose to refer to the gun as Fishbones and why she regularly refers to it by name - if she’ll hallucinate Silco through the gun). 
But there’s another instance when she’s upset with him and she questions/tortures him a little - she calls him “Silly.”
Now that could just be a coincidence but-
Silco
Sil
Sil-ly
that’s a diminutive of the shortened version of his name-
I love Jinx so much. I love their interactions so much.

flaunt a happy marriage: his name’s tatted on your collar bone to never break fishbones more,
wither to bridezilla mania, his grillz are shining and her makeup extends his comped stay—entitled barking blue eyed leer in response to sales’ discernment—[“mind your politics, shove your entitlement up your—“] ask why, unconscious,
dismiss envious hatred toward a powerful woman, not worth a glance in diagonal, glaring reflection, matter at hand: 65 timesands down twenty by five,
plank the wave, she said “keep the change,” when i wanted her to seize the day [with me]

So I startet a Bleach re-read project while at the same time re-watching the anime in synchro to each other, because I was interested in how much both differ from each other. Actually, the Bleach anime is well known for changing or cutting entire scenes of the manga for whatever reason and till to this day I have no idea why the anime studio thought it was a good idea to do so. So far I only did the first chapter/first episode and oh boy there are already so many changes I had to split this post into two parts.
To be fair, some of these differences are not that bad or important nor do they disturb the flow of the story, but most of them are still completly unnecessairy or replaced with filler moments and its no wonder why the author Tite Kubo got so frustrated with the anime studio and forced them to send him the scripts of every single episode before release. Espicially in the first two arcs all these differences are very obvious and they only start to lessen after the soul society arc. So here is a list of all the changes, differences and cuts I was able to find. Warning the list is LONG!
In part 1, I want to focus mostly on everything that was in the manga, but cut/not shown or play out a little bit different in the anime in chronical order. I also included a lot of minor things. Lets start with the madness.
Toshi-bro demanding to know if Ichigo has a death wish.
Tumblr media
The other skateboarders sort of calling Ichigo a psychopath as he stomps Toshis head into the ground.
Tumblr media
Ichigo insulting Mit-bro when he addresses him and the latter repeating Ichigos insult and his friends checking on him after Ichigo kicks him down.
Tumblr media
The skateboard gang promising to never disrespect the memorial of the dead girl again as they run off and Ichigo apologizing to the dead girl for using her to scare off the skateboard gang and the dead girl assuring him that she was happy to help him out.
Tumblr media
Isshin Kurosaki demanding to know if Ichigo knows what time it is after kicking him and Karin Kurosaki commenting on Ichigos ability to see, talk to, touch, and interact with ghosts which makes him a quadruple A special level spirit medium.
Tumblr media
Yuzu Kurosaki expressing a desire to see ghosts clearly and Karin bluntly stating that she does not share this desire and her bringing up her latest plan to profit of Ichigos ability to see spirits and Ichigo reacting with outrage to this. Also Isshin expressing confusion prior to being thrown off by Ichigo.
Tumblr media
Ichigos internal monologue about being able to see spirits for as long as he can remember and never even considering the existence of Shinigami.
Yuzu deciding to bring dinner to Ichigos room later and Isshin wondering why Ichigo does not share his problems with his father, prompting Karin to assert that she would not share her problems with him either, meanwhile Ichigo wondering why his family is so strange and mistakenly identifying the Jigokucho that flies through his room as a black swallowtail butterfly.
Tumblr media
Isshin clashing with Ichigo over how much noise the latter is making and revealing that he cannot see Rukia, to Ichigos confusion.
Tumblr media
Yuzu comforting Isshin after his clash with Ichigo "hurt him".
Tumblr media
Rukia deciding to only punish Ichigo with a minor case of paralysis for his attitude.
Tumblr media
Rukia naming the technique she used to help the glasses-wearing ghost pass over as Konso (= Soul Burial) and her noting that it no longer seems necessary to ask Ichigo if he believes her tale.
Tumblr media
Ichigo wiping his drawn mustache off on the floor and asking Rukia if a Hollow is nearby, which she confirms, followed by him berating her for standing around and talking.
Tumblr media
Rukia noting that she seems to be hearing Fishbone Ds howl through some sort of unseen filter and wondering how Ichigo heard it before she did and Ichigo asking if the noise he just heard was the howl of a Hollow.
Tumblr media
Ichigo demanding that Rukia undo her spell, because its his family getting attacked right now, only for Rukia to counter that he cannot do anything and will only add to the bodycount and wondering what is happening to her after opening the door and experiencing the powerful sensation of Fishbone Ds reiatsu.
Tumblr media
Karin explaining that Isshin was attacked and Yuzu was taken before begging Ichigo to run away.
Tumblr media
Rukia assuring Ichigo that Karin is okay and simply passed out.
Tumblr media
Rukia wondering just what Ichigo is after he breaks out of his restraints.
Tumblr media
A wounded Isshin lying unconscious on the floor when Ichigo reaches the living room.
Tumblr media
Ichigo internally identifying Fishbone D as a Hollow upon seeing him and expressing fear at the latter being a monster instead of humanoid like all the other spirits he has seen before.
Tumblr media
Yuzu reacting to Ichigos arrival and confronting of Fishbone D.
Tumblr media
Ichigos baseball bat being broken by Fishbone Ds punch.
Tumblr media
Ichigo bringing up Rukias explanation of Hollows attacking people to eat their souls and questioning why Fishbone D attacked his family if not for this reason.
Tumblr media
Rukia being sent crashing into a wall by a surprise attack from Fishbone D while distracted by Ichigo, which leaves her bleeding from a head wound.
Tumblr media
Ichigo demanding that Fishbone D kill him and leave the others alone, prompting Rukia to call him a fool.
Tumblr media
Ichigo apologizing and Rukia stating that she cannot console him due to being too badly injured to continue fighting and Ichigo internally claiming that it is all his fault and that they are all going to die now.
Tumblr media
Ichigo seeing Yuzu begging him to run away even while nearly unconscious and resolving to follow Rukias plan as a result.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rukia realizing that Ichigos strong spiritual energy was the source of the unseen filter obscuring Fishbone Ds presence from her.
Tumblr media
Rukia wondering what Ichigo is after he kills Fishbone D.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So part 1 is done. The second part will focus on all the differences that are in the anime but not in the manga of chapter 1/episode 1. Here is a link to part 2.

so, the zebra herd got a second very cute and very wobbly foal today, here with mom.
but there is something a lot more interesting going on there, too. namely, I'm 90% sure the dad is NOT a burchell's zebra like the mom and other foals, but the lone hartmann's zebra (I've seen him wave his dick around, definitely stallion) that's been following the herd for...ages, really. at least a year that I've seen. possibly more than two years. no one really knows how or why, there haven't been any others of his kind spotted, but he's never far away. just hanging around, doing his thing, often seen rolling in mud like his kind does.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
⬆⬆ the probable dad, enjoying his mud ⬆⬆
the reason I think that Mr Mud got sneaky with one of the ladies and the cute little fella is a hybrid is that while yes, there are burchell's zebra signature shadow stripes on the foal's butt, the back pattern is the signature fishbone of a mountain zebra (as you can see in the above pic). and then, the belly seems to be white, not striped like mom's - and the easiest way to distinguish plains and mountain zebras is to look if the stripes on the belly go all the way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
there's also a couple more subtle tells like the stripes on the legs going all the way down or the side stripes being thinner and closer together that wouldn't be enough on their own but in combination with that very very strange back pattern and faintly white belly, well. a person has to wonder.
Tumblr media
and a close up screenshot of the other foal. normal little burchell's zebra, shadow stripes, striped belly, same back pattern as the others, nothing odd at all to see here.
anyway, I might not be a specialist, just a person with a Category 7 Autism Event™ regarding that livecam, but I'm pretty confident in my species identification abilities and I think I have a solid case here so...I hope I get my theory officially confirmed? 😂

ohoo new ocs.... questions 1-19 odds only for Fisher
woo fisher..
quick info abt this guy- he's in his late teens/early 20's, the son of a fishcutter/fishmonger and following in her footsteps. he's always been a little odd and has strange dreams that he overwhelmingly believes will come true at some point (even if they never have).
fisher isn't his real name- just sort of a placeholder as tradition in this setting is for people to choose their own names once they find or earn one they feel is right.
--
1. what's their most trivial fear?
he's afraid of spiders bigger than a coin. little ones are fine with him but the others are a bit much for him.
3. are they clumsy?
nope! he used to be clumsy when he was little, but his mom sort of trained him out of it? she taught him to become mindful of his body at all times and helped him gain better reflexes by encouraging him to participate in sports and stuff. it was always fun for him tho which is nice
reason why she trained him to be less clumsy is because clumsiness can cause a lot of problems in their line of work- cutting up fish with sharp knives, standing around on a boat at sea, walking along tall docks, etc.. accidents are the last thing you'd want to happen!
5. in a modern au, what would they order at a coffee shop?
something chilly with a lot of caffeine.. cold brew maybe?
7. do they know how to cook?
yep! it's not his favorite activity but he's pretty good at it, especially when it comes to cooking fish. he can prepare and cook pretty just about any fish found in the waters around the coastal city he lives in. he can even prep venomous species :-)
9. cereal before milk or milk before cereal?
milk before cereal. he wants that cereal to be Crunchy
11. who would they beat to death with a butter sock if they could?
sunvaar! a very nasty and ancient sea serpent that wants to destroy the city fisher and his family live in. would explain more about him but that'd be spoilers :>
13. the one chore they refuse to do.
there's no chore he 100% refuses but he hatesss disposing of the leftover fishbones/scraps/gross bits from butchering fish. he basically turns it into chum and has to lug it to the docks, where he sells it as chum/bait.
15. would they be a good parent?
maybe? he's protective of little creatures and does well with understanding their needs (he saved lazarus' life when she was very young despite knowing nothing about false newts, for example).
that said, fisher feels like he's much worse at understanding people & their needs. he thinks he'd be a bad parent (he would be a good one).
17. would they lie about their height?
wbsbskf sometimes.. he's not vain but he'll round up his height if he feels like it
19. explain your oc as if explaining them to a parent that asked you what they are/what they mean.
this is fisher, he's a uh. fishcutter/fishmonger with haunting prophetic dreams and a giant wet beast as his best friend.

Silent Reading, chapter 39. Just know I loved every second of the prior chapters too much go quote ToT. So this bit is interesting. It was also used in Justice in the Dark but slightly differently. It's Fei Du's dream of when his mom died. In the dream, darkness swallows up his mom as he grabs her hand, her repeating "Why didn't you save me" and then someone warm covers his eyes, smelling like familiar cigarette smoke with familiar Calloused hands, and light comes through the fingers. Luo Wenzhou saves him in his dream of it.
In the novel Silent Reading, Luo Wenzhou first meets Fei Du outside the house on the steps and sees his determined face (we see that scene in the Justice in the Dark show). But Luo Wenzhou doesn't actually run in bringing the light with him, cover Fei Dus eyes and take him away from his moms body. In the novel apparently this only happens in Fei Du's dreams as an adult. Symbolically, emotionally, Luo Wenzhou was always the light that helped drag him from that dark abyss. But literally, it did not happen that way the day his mom died. In the show, it Does happen literally that way the day his mom died. An interesting choice. A choice visually I prefer for the sake of its emotional impact on me with the lighting and execution of the scene and message. But it's interesting nonetheless that the iconic scene of WHAT Luo Wenzhou means to Fei Du, actually happens in Fei Du's dreams as an adult.
Also an aside: I love priests descriptions of settings, and I loved this passage starting without naming Fei Du so you feel almost like you are him or you're with Unknown Character giving off a good unsteady feeling since it's a dream sequence so like Fei Du you shouldn't be sure of whats going on.
Quote:
The house was too big. The limited human energy couldn’t soak through, and it sent out a smell of deep lifelessness.
It was a lifelessness that sunlight, fresh flowers, and lamps were all powerless to dispel.
He stood in the vestibule, hesitating.
Reasonably speaking, this ought to have been his home. But every time he set foot in the spotless vestibule and faced the room filled with sunlight coming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was dread in his heart.
Faint music came from upstairs, a melodious female voice repeatedly reciting the refrain. He stood for a moment in a trance, as if he dimly knew that something was about to happen. He slowly began to walk, heading inside.
The sensation of the sunlight falling on him became strange, clammy and chill, not like sunlight, but like the wind during a rainstorm. It blew over his forearms, left bare by his summer uniform, raising a layer of fine gooseflesh.
He went up to the second floor. The music became louder and louder, the familiar melody sticking in his chest like a fishbone caught in the throat. His breathing became labored, and he halted, wanting to run away.
But when he looked back, he discovered that everything behind him had dissolved into darkness; everything seemed to be fixed, written and rehearsed. Before him there was only one road, one direction.
The all-encompassing darkness enveloped him from all sides, compelling him to go up the narrow stairs, compelling him to push open that door—
A loud roar. He thought that something had exploded beside his ear. Then he looked down and saw the woman fallen onto the ground.
Her neck was twisted at an unnatural angle, and her body was suffused with a rigid pallor. But her eyes were open—it seemed that while her body was dead, her spirit still lived.
The woman stared straight at him, two trails of bloody tears flowing from her eyes. She coldly asked, “Why didn’t you save me?”
His breath tightened, and he backed away.
The woman staggered to her feet and reached out a death-mottled hand. “You can feel everything. Why were you avoiding me? Why didn’t you save me?”
The hand was surrounded by the consuming darkness. The dark seemed to be alive, heartlessly swallowing her up. She let out ceaseless screams and questions, struggling with all her might to reach out her hand to grab him, but she was ceaselessly pulled into the darkness.
He instinctively took that icy and livid hand, heard the screams, felt that he was falling unstoppably. Suddenly, something pulled him from behind. His back pressed against a warm and solid body, and a pair of hands came around him, traveled up, and covered his eyes.
He smelled the faint scent of cigarettes on those clear-knuckled hands. Then, in the cracks between the fingers, there was a burst of light—
Fei Du started awake.
He was sitting in his own study. Going through a dull project plan, he’d read halfway through and fallen asleep.
It was afternoon. A cool wind full of humidity was pouring in from outside the window. At some point the wind and clouds had risen outside, and a storm was brewing. The roaring sounds and flashing lights in his dream had been thunder and lightning. His phone was ringing interminably, displaying three missed calls—no wonder he had heard that music in his dream.

Arcane Season 2 Wish and Prediction Lists:
Wishes (Some of these are unlikely, I know. But that's what AUs and Art prompts are for, right?):
Warwick. Vander. Transformation. Need I say more?
Jinx and Machine Herald Viktor to meet/interact.
Caitlyn and Vi to be partners (Both kinds).
Vi to not wear that hideous outfit in L.O.L..
CAIT NEEDS A MORE PRACTICAL OUTFIT!!
I WANT TO SEE ZIGGS AND JINX!! Maybe a cameo, at least?
Machine Herald Vik. Like, I want to see him majestically put that mask on his face, like Darth Vader. And glance at The Hexclaw and go 'Hmmmm... DING!! Ideaaaaa!! Imma just attach this or something like it to my shoulder.'.
Heimerdinger being an adorable fluffy Yoda Boomer and learning to use Ekko's Hoverboard, because he has to be cool and gangsta now.
Silco being resurrected (I had a cool dream 'bout that. Might AU-ify that idea).
Silco and Mini Jinx Flashback between the timeskip of Season One.
Jinx wearing Silco's coat and being sad and short.
Ghost Silco being the voice in Jinx's head that helps shape her into the Jinx from L.O.L..
Jinx talking to Fishbones. Just a lil'.
Predictions:
Vi will be called upon by Piltover, and they'll be like 'Yo, sorry we were completely disregarding Zaun's situation before, but, uh, we're a little up the creek now with half the council gone and all, so, well- We were wondering if you'd consider our requested, offered, respectful suggestion of becoming our Head Enforcer? You'll be placed as a front line worker, obviously. If so, great!! Welcome to the ranks!! If not, then we demandingly insistently order you to mandatorily order you to. Unless, of course, you want to see the cell in Stillwater with your name on it again, for a reallll, loong time. No? Ah isn't that that the great thing about life?? We all get a fair choice!!'
Then Cait's like, 'C'mon, for your sister. We can look for her together.' and Vi's like 'HAhA, nON. Too danger for you, Cupcake' and Cait eventually manages to persuade her but that's why they end up being like, 'If you're an Enforcer now, then whoever goes comes back in a box' or whatever.
Okay, I mentioned this in someone else's post a while ago, but what if Singed turns Silco into Twitched? Just because he's poisoned, poisonous rat man. And also, because, apparently, Singed likes turning random people into furries.
Mel dies, Cassandra doesn't- I don't see a reason for her death, AND she's in Cait's story in L.O.L., Jayce and Viktor can't die, but the rest of The Council does.
Who's Singed's daughter?? *cough* Orianna *cough*.
What happens to Poro?? Didn't HeimerYoda leave them? I bet they find a huge colony of Poros and start conquering Runeterra.

Tumblr media
hello and welcome to my oc blog!! i have so many projects and so many characters so feel free to ask about literally anything and everything. it may take me a while to finish asks but i always see them and try to answer them as soon as i can! some of the information present on my main blog will be transferred to here so you'll see a few repeats as i actually start working on the blog.
my current projects:
shadow fields: shadow fields is a collection of different stories in the shadow fields township. from the disappearance of charles ellis to the possession of abel greene and the vivisection of eric laura vallery, many stories can be told. there is no one reason and no right answer.
the shadow fields sun bears: the township baseball team. our main character, atlas, is presented with the issue of a failing team. the sun bears start out as a good team but they quickly fall into a slump when they begin to ignore their god. this god is present to the human eye. you can see her at the edge of the stands or vanishing around the corner back into the locker room. she makes the grass hiss and sounds like wooden chimes clinking together in the wind.
this god appears most often to atlas, a newcomer who has to hold up the weight of the team by himself. after their most recent drought, the god presents herself to atlas but doesn't say anything he can understand. its up to him to interpret it and try to help the team himself.
moonlight hills: with no rhyme or reason- mayor midas drops dead. an unexplained and unfinished murder where midas only dies of blood loss. its up to adenine scott to watch over the autopsy and begin investigation into who killed mayor midas. its a cycle. each mayor for the past thirty years has dropped dead unexpectedly. adenine is the one to tie it together- to uncover how and why the town breathes.
the grey lake: three kids trying to relax before senior year leave winnemucca, nevada and travel to wallowa, oregon for summer break. the story is styled in a way to make it similar to what you think of when you think "indie film." trent realizes how lonely he's become since his mom passed. cassy's issues with her self worth resurface and she tries to come to terms with not being what her mom wants. ricky struggles to connect with the world around him after thirteen years of homeschooling and together they try to take a break and figure things out.
the house by the sea: three kids living in an orphanage on the seaside leave their home and travel by train out of the city on a journey of self discovery. their caretaker marnie has to find them while still keeping the other kids safe, though the story mostly revolves around ella, joey, and david- the three kids who ran away.
geophilomorpha: forming in 2002 and releasing their first album (self titled) the same year, geophilomorpha hit the punk rock scene hard. on lead vocals is caine butcher, one of the bands founders. on guitar is eddie mortan, floyd marilyn on the upright bass, matthew cadorna on electric bass, and on drums is jeremiah ashley, the other founder. the band has been in the queer rock scene for years, making albums about personal experiences regarding addiction, angels, transsexuality, and bloody noses.
ode to aphrodite: inspired by the poem made by sappho of the same name, ode to aphrodte formed in 2008 with the help of the members of geophilomorpha and released their first album in 2009. inspired by afro-punk voices like pure hell and fishbone, as well as classical jazz and blues, the bands vocalist and bassist thelma richard-ashley wishes to continue uplifting voices from music artists of color like herself. ode to aphrodite is a tribute to lesbianism and black joy. though their music can be on the heavier side instrumentally, their main goal is to create and share a meaningful message.
the exhibitionists: starting in 1996 and releasing their first album in the same year, the exhibitionists is an electronic and industrial band founded by seth (vocals and keyboard) and stanley davis (guitar). the twins, inspired by artists like skinny puppy, tool, ministry, and nine inch nails, welcomed jane evans (bass) and audrey kim (drums) to help make the music they loved. the band stands out from most others- making dark and ambient electronic music great for stage performances. with an almost cultish fanbase, the exhibitionists quickly got their name out in the electronic music scene.
collaborations:
deciding exousia: founded in 1993, deciding exousia is a nu metal band, releasing their first album, hermeneutics, in 1994. with a harsh sound and large group, exousia took local basements by storm. founded by stella jansen (rhythm guitar), sebastian dalton (lead vocals), trevor neilson (bass), liam morrison (drums), and kevin hayes (lead guitar). eventually graduating to the stage (and bigger basements), they introduced new members to the group. damon bauer on keyboard, ethan walker for orchestral accompaniment, blair hyde on woodwinds, zachary quinn on percussion, and wyatt payne on synths.
the springfield prairie dogs: the first of me and erin's two fan teams, the springfield illinois prairedogs are a collaboration between me and her. there's so much to say about them, so ask anything and everything.
the austin bats: the same goes for the bats. they're located in austin texas rather than illinois, and is the rival team to the prairie dogs.

Heroics is all he’s ever wanted. A hero is all he thought he would ever be. In middle school, when he’d come so close to giving up, when he’d truly started doubting that he could ever be a hero, he hadn’t been able to see a way forward. He’d been pulled out of that before he could do anything, Toshinori had found him and saved him from himself, but now… Now, he’s twenty-eight and facing the same problem once again. Who is he, if he’s not a hero? Who is Midoriya Izuku outside of the trappings of heroics?
Izuku takes the first step towards healing: he admits he has a problem.

where the shore meets the sea by pale_and_tragic
The world is too bleak and too loud and too lonely. Lan Zhan, exhausted, sinks away from it.
(In which Lan Zhan isn’t coping quite as well as he thinks, which becomes all too clear when Wei Ying returns from the dead.)
you are safe / loved / worthy / enough by everythingispoetry
One of the more timid-looking posts, in pale greens and creams and yellows, says Hello, I'm managing to be fairly high functioning right now but I'm really not doing as well as it may appear, and Lan Zhan feels as if someone sneaked into his mind and read his most secret thoughts, the ones he's never even dared to admit to himself.
(Lan Zhan falls apart and finds himself through the most unexpected means.)
a kind of emptiness by ScarlettStorm
(explicit)
“Lan Luan-daifu says it looks like you’ve been undereating for months.”
“I eat!” Wei Wuxian protests. “You watch me eat, Lan Zhan!” Why is he protesting? He knows exactly what he’s been fucking up, and Lan Zhan almost certainly has the shape of it if not the details. The words stick in his throat, fishbones to choke on, and he drinks more soup in a sullen attempt at washing them away.
“Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan says, setting a hand on his too-wiry thigh. There’s a whole sentence in the name now, layers of meaning, and he says some of it out loud with, “What’s wrong?”
The fight goes out of Wei Wuxian. It’s finally easy to surrender: Lan Zhan knows. It’s humiliating, but he knows. “Ah, Lan Zhan,” he says quietly. “It’s… complicated.”
Lan Zhan nods, his hand petting over Wei Wuxian’s leg in comforting arcs. “Then we can work together to fix it,” he says earnestly. “Tell me?”
Or: Recovery is complicated.

Let Ruin End Here by betts
(mature)
They don’t hang out. They’re not friends. The only time they talk is nights like these when Hua Cheng has no one else to turn to. Nights he takes a sledgehammer to rock bottom.
Or: Hua Cheng leaves his shitty family behind, and goes to the only place he knows he's safe.

More writing scraps!
I once tried to write something for mermay but i never got much out of it. Here are the only two scenes i ever managed to write. For context, no one in the entire world can remember anything from about a month before, and no one is particularly bothered by that fact. Also the moon is missing and that may or may not have something to do with the collective memory loss. The kids are all selkies, Five and Lila have had their skins taken by the Handler, who is a pirate and makes them call her Mother.

“Why do you hide, Moonlight?”
This was a dream Viktor had had a thousand times. Drawn down to the ocean on legs that weren’t quite his, through a town he never remembered coming to and didn’t know how to leave. “I’m not hiding,” he told the glinting starlight eyes staring at him from the water.
“Then why has the night become so dark?”
“The night has always been dark.”
It always felt odd to say the truth knowing it was a lie.
“You swallowed the Moon,” the creature said woefully, a webbed hand reaching from the water for Viktor’s throat. “Give it back.”
“I don’t have it.” He took a step away from the water, the ocean churning around the creature as it reached for the smooth-worn sides of the wharf, heaving its pale body onto the paved stone.
“Give it back,” it howled.
It didn’t speak in anger, but with a grief so deep and chilling it made Viktor’s body burn with shame. 
“Give him back!”
He woke safe in his bed, from dream to consciousness like seconds passing on a clock, quietly and without fanfare. Morning sunlight replaced the milky twilight, sea birds and distant seals louder now than the crash of waves in his dream. Warm, sleepy movement beside him pulled Viktor back to the moment, turning his head against the pillow as Sissy rolled over to face him.
She blinked the sleep from her eyes, smiling warmly in greeting. “Mornin’.”
“Good morning,” he replied softly, for a moment enchanted by her, seeming to glow gold in the morning light. They smiled at each other like fools in love for a long moment before a clatter started up in the courtyard downstairs.
“Sounds like Hazel’s home with breakfast,” Sissy said, rolling onto her back and stretching like a cat. 
A few minutes later had them dressed and downstairs to help chop vegetables and clean the morning’s fish catch. Agnes, Hazel’s wife, puttered in and out of their kitchen and the courtyard, bringing out her trays of bread that would be sold this afternoon alongside the fish at the market.

“Why do you call yourself Five?”
“Because I was the fifth.”
After a long silence filled with the crunching of fishbones between their teeth, “That tells me nothing,” Lila complained stiffly.
“Everything I tell you, you tell Mother.”
“Nuh-uh.”
He refused to lower himself to her immaturity, despite how strong the urge was to answer in the same petulant tone. Instead, he reached down into the pool and snatched another fish out. 
“What’s so secretive about your chosen name?”
“Where did you come from before Mother found you?”
She scowled at him. “I don’t remember,” she deadpanned like he was stupid.
He gave her a cheeky grin around a mouthful of fish. “There’s your answer, then.”
“But Mum only found you recently, and you remember you’re the fifth or whatever.” She discarded the bone she’d been using to pick her teeth and rolled over onto her back so the sun would catch her tail properly, warming the turquoise scales. She dyed the tips of her tail red in a show of loyalty to her master, something Five found oddly repulsive.
She batted her eyelashes cutely, knowing how pretty she must look rolling in the pale sand. Five just smirked at her, “you know that doesn’t work on me.”
“I know, it’s weird, you should be horny as hell.”
It was a confusing thing for him, to not remember much past the last few months. His body looked young but did not feel it. He felt like he’d already lived a lifetime, and he couldn’t explain why. He didn’t dare tell Lila that, but she could sense his repulsion all the while, somehow managing to read him like a book.
“Come oooon,” she whined. “Please tell me, I want to know.”
“Why?”
She huffed, eyes rolling up toward the sky for a moment. She rolled over again, sitting up on her elbow and looking at him more seriously. “You’re the only other– whatever we are, I’ve met in my entire life.” Her brow furrowed. “I think. That feels true.”
“That’s sad,” Five said genuinely. “You don’t remember your family?”
“No. Do you?”
He remembered faces. He remembered their voices, barely. Flashes of moments, a feeling of panic in his chest, anger made of starlight and madness reaching up to consume the Moon.
He blinked away the images behind his eyes, realizing he’d stared off into space and Lila was watching him intently. “Not really,” he answered finally.
She huffed sharply out her nose. “Course not.” She heaved herself up and pushed herself into the pool, cleaning off the sand and scattering the fish near the surface. She disappeared into the depths for a time, leaving Five in peace to finish his second fish before she returned. She dropped a handful of muscles onto the flat rock Five was perched on.
“Fifth of what?” she asked insistently.
“I don’t remember.”
She looked up at him to catch his expression. “Really?”
He shook his head; it was the truth. He was the fifth of something but like hell he could remember. “Why does she want to know so badly?”
Lila looked away, sinking a little into the water before shrugging. “You know how she is.”
He hummed in affirmation. “Anything she can use to control us.”
“She’s not that bad.”
Five snorted and gave her an incredulous look. “You can’t be that deluded.”
“She loves us.”
“She loves what we can do for her.”
“Same thing.”
“It’s really not.”
She scoffed harshly. “Says the one we found clinging to an anchor in the Dark Deep. What do you know about love?”
“Apparently more than you.”
“You’re just a child,” she hissed. 
When she dove away, she made sure to splash him with her tail, washing his muscles into the sand. He frowned down at them before deciding he didn’t care to eat them anyway. He layed back on his sun-warmed rock and picked them out of the sand, flinging them into the pool at his tail. The longer he stayed, the further of a swim he would have to catch up with Lila and the ship, but this little jungle clearing was peaceful, and the sun was warm.
He would take every second of peace he could before returning in dread to the ship his master called home.
