The Last Wolf of Lankiveil
Part 2 of Queen of Light, King of Darkness ft the poll thanks to @jennathearcher @lady-phasma for the idea of the were-feyd fic
Taglist: @valeskafics @avidreader73 @emilykaldwen @cljordan-imperium @beebeechaos
Cw: murder, blood, lycanthropy
For all his reputation as a Beast and Count of Lankiveil, Glossu Rabban had not inherited their mother’s true nature thanks to their father’s wretched human blood.
Feyd Rautha had inherited more than just Onir Rautha's name, he had inherited his lycanthropy.
A true Beast, like those who ruled Lankiveil's icy lands before the Harkonnen's hunted them to extinction.
A shame his mother had to die to keep his true nature a mystery from his beloved uncle. As his mother’s son, Feyd will make sure her death wasn’t in vain.
The universe will be ruled by the last Wolf of Lankiveil.
And for that to happen, Paul Atreides and his wife, Feyd’s own sister-in-law had to die. He’d done away with Atreides’ pet and the bastard in her belly, and you deserved a gift as magnificent as the one you gave him that morning in Arrakis.
“We were hoping you could join us for a hunt in my son’s honor.” Feyd gives no indication of what he has planned for the Muad’Dib and the wife he refuses to even touch.
It is not that difficult; his wolf form could not be sensed, and he had received enough training to hone the abilities that would have created the Kwisatz Haderach. He can hide from their visions and escape their control completely.
“I am sure my wife longs to see her sister and our nephew again. We will be there, cousin.” Paul’s eyes hold some suspicion, but their alliance has chipped away at most of it. As far as his cousin knows, Feyd is a simple man with simple pleasures. Give him something to respect in you and a weapon in his hands and he will massacre entire planets in your name.
But the young baron is a father now and his perfect little heir can’t aspire to be his uncle’s heir when his lady mother is far more deserving of the Throne.
You, his Queen of Light, his Nurbanu, deserved the universe.
There is something other about him. Something related to his violent nature and the moon.
You had heard the rumors of the lycanthropy that plagued House Rabban, but one thing was hearing stories about the wolves of Lankiveil and another one was seeing her husband leave for a hunt on a full moon and hear a wolf’s howl unlike aby you’ve ever heard.
Irulan and Paul would be visiting some village across the forest that had myths of the Kwisatz Haderach they wanted to take advantage of.
You weren’t supposed to follow, you were supposed to stay home with Murad who would turn one year old tomorrow. But you wanted to confirm your suspicions.
You arrive at the village to find it in chaos. It had been destroyed as if something ravaged it and its people. Like a one man army.
“The Wolf of Lankiveil!” they shout in fear and adoration. “The Kwisatz Haderach has been destroyed!”
Contrary to popular belief, you didn’t hate your sister. She annoyed you and stood between you and your throne, but you didn’t hate her. And while you knew this day would come, you knew you would feel terrible for murdering her.
Feyd didn’t understand that part, he didn’t have a single positive memory of his brother nor any chance to be a friend to anyone.
You find the wolf at the edge of the village and you smile at the sight of him.
Your guards beg you to keep away, fearing what would happen if the wolf carried you off.
None recognize the blue human eyes in the wolf.
Your Feyd, your husband.
You believed yourself immune to him, that his violence would keep you from ever falling in love with him, but in the end he grew on you. Like mold on rotten fruit.
“So this is where you went off to, dear husband?” you ask the man beast covered in the blood of innocents.
Come with me.
No need to tell you twice. In a fluid movement you’ve gotten on his back and he takes off at breakneck speeds.
It is thrilling, to feel the icy wind around you as you use all your abilities to remain in place. You can hear his laugh echo in yours as you ride through the woods.
Not long after the wolf begins to shift, the fur thinning, the canine body losing its structure in favor of something human like and soon you arrive to his hideout clutching his back. You must look ridiculous piggybacking a bloody and very naked Feyd.
“Did you like your gift, wife?” his black teeth still have blood from where he tore apart his victims and the red staining his snow like skin paints a beautiful picture.
“How could I not, my baron?” you kiss his bloody mouth and show how much you love his gift, how much you love him.
Your daughter ,Asena Rautha, conceived that night, is born a wolf.
Just like her father.

Three Shadow Boys
a/n: good day. Meh. I’m skipping homework for this. Sorry I’ll update something at one point.
masterlist
wc: 1450
summary: just 3 shadow boys hanging out! Ruhn, Azriel, and Xaden.
*****
Crescent City- Ruhn
Ruhn grinned at his new found friends as he lead them around the city. They’d already been to see Bryce and his sister had flirted shamelessly. After an hour of Hunt, Xaden, and Azriel having a pissing contest, Bryce kicked them out to make it up to her boyfriend. So he gave the idiots a tour of the city and naturally, they insulted and laughed at everything that was Ruhn’s. Like how his headphones were navy blue instead of black because apparently ‘we’re the shadow boys, you’ve got to get black.’
When he introduced them to Tristan and Flynn they got along perfectly! Not even a pissing contest over Flynn’s hot girlfriend! They were currently playing poker and Azriel was winning with a giant stack of chips triple everyone elses.
“I swear, he’s cheating,” Xaden’s complaint was met with much agreement.
“I would never! I’m an honorable shadow boy!”
Ruhn grinned, “let’s see how ‘honorable’ you are when we start drinking.” They all laughed and continued their loss of money.
“I quit! Ruhn show us to those guns, please, before I jump that cheating ass.”
“I’m not cheating!”
Ruhn just shook his head and dealt out the cards once again.
By the end of the next round, Xaden had reached his limit and leapt across the table to see Azriel’s cards.
“He’s not cheating! That’s impossible.”
Ruhn joined him and they both stared at down at the smug shadowsinger with a look of pure disbelief.
“Ruhn! Stop giving him all the good cards! I should start dealing!”
Ruhn gaped at Xaden. “You’re blaming this on me!? I can’t control what cards I give who!
“Just cheat!”
“You know what, guns sound great right now. At least I’m the best at that because you idiots can’t shoot.”
***
“What happened to ‘you idiots can’t shoot?’” Azriel grinned at Ruhn as he hit bullseye after bullseye.
Xaden groaned. “I can’t shoot!”
“Why is Az good at everything, it’s not fair.” Ruhn growled in frustration as he missed the bullseye by half a millimeter.
“You can’t be groaning! At least you can hit the damned target.” Both Az and Ruhn laughed as Xaden’s shot went wide and hit the deer head decorating the space 50 feet above the targets.
“Not my fault you won’t accept my help. I’ve told you a million times! You’re holding the gun wrong!”
“I am not! I’m not that stupid.” Rhun raises his brows as Xaden proceeds to hold the gun by the barrel instead of the grip where it’s quite obvious a hand should go.
And he hits the ceiling.
“You want that help now?”
“Fuck you.”
*****
Velaris- Azriel
The biweekly Friday family dinners Rhys had organized came with few rules. One: attendance was mandatory. Two: you could bring up to three friends. Three: if you brought friends, everyone else had a right to be busybodies.
It just so happened to be that Friday in which Mor was back from Vallahan and Elain and Lucien were visiting from the Day Court. Everyone was there to interrogate Xaden and Ruhn. The poor shadow babies had no idea what they’d be facing.
“What do I wear? I’ve got to impress your family.” Ruhn was scanning Azriel’s closet in a desperate attempt of last minute dressing.
“You’ll be fine, they really don’t care.”
“Yeah man. Just bring your own clothes next time.” Xaden was dressed in the flight clothes that came from his fancy-dragon world.
“Azriel said I wouldn’t need anything!”
“And since when has Azriel been right?”
“Hey! That’s rude.” Az put a hand over his heart in mock hurt. He grabbed a black shirt, black dress pants and a belt from his closet. “Just where this, it’s better than that pink Crescent City t-shirt.”
Ruhn glared. “This was fifty dollars! It’s a good shirt!”
“If you say so.” Azriel and Xaden shared a smirk as Ruhn put on the clothes given to him.
They descended the stairs to the dining room and found everyone else already there.
Xaden elbowed Ruhn. “You made us late.”
“Did not.”
“Did so.”
“Nuh uh.”
“Yes you did!”
Azriel watched with a healthy dose of amusement and embarrassment as the room fell quiet to look at the two arguing. Finally after letting the two get embarrassed he poked Xaden in the shoulder.
Xaden looked up. “Shit.” Raising his voice he said to Rhysand. “My apologies, it was merely that this idiot next to me took an hour deciding what to wear instead of a sparkly, pink shirt.”
That got his family laughing.
***
A while later as they were sitting on the couches, drinking wine and exchanging embarrassing stories the interrogation finally started.
Cassian leaned in. “So Ruhn, we have a few questions for you to get to know you better. If you don’t know the answer you may say “no” and we’ll just assume you’re an idiot.”
“Who’s your father?”
“What’s your job?”
“Favorite color?”
“Best friend?”
The questions started innocently enough and Ruhn answered them each with a joke and easy grin. But Azriel knew he’d be saying a lot more “no”s.
The question came from Mor. “Sooo, Ruhn. Who was the best person you’ve ever bedded?”
Ruhn gawked at her and Azriel and Xaden burst out laughing. Mor shot a look at Xaden, “You’re next man. The questions will just get more detailed.”
Xaden grimaced. “I’m really tired today, all that traveling is rubbing off on me. I think I’ll go sleep.”
“Nuh uh uh.” Feyre wagged a finger at him. “Describe, in detail, your first time of having sex with your girlfriend.”
*****
Aretia- Xaden
Xaden smiled proudly as Sgeayl landed on the field. His smirk grew as both Azriel and Ruhn paled and backed away nervously.
Scare them please.
With pleasure.
Sgeayl blew fire at the ground barely ten feet away from his friends. Their eyes widened as the heat hit them full on.
“Uh Xaden. Can we go back to meetin your girlfriend? She was a little less scary.” Azriel pleaded, adding his puppy eyes.
Sgeayl sniffed indignantly and blew a puff of steam.
“Nah. I think you guys could spend some time together, ya know bond with my dragon. Make sure she doesn’t hate you or burn you to dust?”
“Uhh… Think we’ll pass thanks.” Ruhn was slightly less afraid than Azriel and was staring at Sgeayls blue scales as if trying to memorize them.
Xaden sighed, giving in and leading his friends away to see the sparring ring.
Go hunt sheep with Andarna.
You know you don’t give me orders, puny human.
Xaden grinned back at Sgeayl and she sniffed at him before flying away, likely to hang out with Tairn.
***
Thirty minutes later Xaden was watching Azriel beat up Ruhn on the sparring mats. He eyed the shadowsingers stance, it mainly relied on centering his feet. He took notice that Azriel was fluent with both sides but his right side was just slightly stronger. That’d be a good thing to look out for when Az challenged him.
And only a few minutes later, Azriel challenged him.
“Don’t you want some rest before I beat you up shadowsinger?”
“You won’t beat me up, I can beat you in my sleep.”
“Really??”
“Just fight already, pricks.” Ruhn turned out to be a very sore loser as proven but the poker and sparring.
The two circled eachother and Xaden made sure to not give away a single weakness that could potentially be use against him. Azriel launched, going for a simple one-two combination but Xaden was ready for him. He shifted left a bit and let Azriel’s punches hit his right shoulder at an angle that caused the least damage. He swept out his right leg and knocked Az off his feet before jumping on top of him in a way that made it hard for Azriel to switch their positions. He kneed the Illyrian in the crotch and traced a finger lightly against the tip of Azriel’s wing until Az groaned and yielded.
Xaden got off him and was met with a clap on the back from Ruhn, who had somehow managed to find popcorn.
“How’d you know my wings were so sensitive?” Azriel was frowning at him.
“At your family dinner, Nesta kept brushing the tip of Cassian’s wing with a featherlight touch and he kept jerking away while simultaneously leaning into her touch.”
Az groaned. “Damn Cassian. I had a plan to win as well! I was about to flip you over when you touched my wing and all my thoughts went straight out the window.”
Xaden grinned. “Fair fight I say.”
“No fucking way, I want a rematch.”
*****
a/n: not my worst.

i had the idea for a single scene from a fic but couldn't think of what else would be in such a fic so i decided to put it to tumblr. if you want to write the fic just send me the link
TW: clone abuse, mind manipulation, Palpatine being a sleemo.
“CC-1010, execute orders 13 and 14,” the chancellor commanded, before pointing to a corner between two bronze statues. “And then kneel in that circle, drawn on the floor.” Palpatine smiled, reveling in the despair of the clone trooper as his body moved against his will to turn off his helmet cam and kneel in the rune circle.
“Supreme Chancellor, sir,” the intercom on Palpatine’s desk buzzed, “knight Skywalker is here to visit you.”
“Send him in.” Immediately after Palpatine spoke, the blond jedi strode through the door. When he saw Fox, kneeling in the corner, his eyes dimmed and glazed until he turned away.
“Chancellor! It’s so good to see you again, I’ve been on campaign for months. How have you been since I left?” At Palpatine’s gesture, Anakin sat down on the low, black bench across from the mahogany desk. “Has the senate been giving you trouble again?”
“They have,” Palpatine started, picking up a large square stamp out of a pad soaked in Fox’s blood and hiding it in his large sleeve. “But I’m feeling much better, now that I’ve seen you again.”
“Thank you, sir,” Anakin started to grin, “but really h-“ as the jedi’s smile pressed his eyes shut, Palpatine struck, pressing the stamp to Anakin’s forehead where it imprinted bloody runes. Immediately, the boy’s face slackened, his eyes opening back up but appearing more purple than blue and entirely vacant. Palpatine gestured as if pulling something, and an image like a 3-dimensional map appeared, except in white and red instead of blue.
“Do you see this, clone?” he said, pointing to the lowest level of the structure, which was a pyramid of increasingly small pavilions held up by Nubian-style columns. “Do you see how this lower level has columns that have been Darkened?” He pulled his hand through the projection, and a red thread followed his fingers.
“These are the pillars of his sanity. Beautiful, aren’t they?” He tied the string around one of the white columns. “It is such a shame that I have to Darken them one at a time, or his mind will automatically purge the Dark, but it does give me more options.”
He laughed.
“Soon enough, there will be enough Darkened pillars that his sanity will crumble, and he’ll have just as much control over himself as you do, when your control chip is activated. This slow movement gives me time to decide whether I want him to be too delirious to disobey, or for him to truly believe that everything I say must be perfectly true. Either way, within the year he will be obeying so well that I can order him to kill all the younglings in the jedi temple and he won’t even consider not doing so. Wont it be glorious?” He turned back to fox, grabbing his chin and wrenching his head up painfully. “Tell me it will be glorious, commander.”
“It will be glorious, your Excellency.” Fox felt like pukeing, as his body spoke the words without his consent. the Sith smiled and turned back around.
“My masterpiece is almost complete.” He banished the image, putting his grandfatherly façade back on. “In just over a year, now, this republic will become my Empire.” He used the Force to clean off the general’s forehead.
“-ow’ve you been?” Anakin continued on with his sentence, not noticing that anything happened. Palpatine smiled and gave a grandfatherly laugh, offering to order food for them both.
An hour later, the food eaten and the young knight sent away, the chancellor turned to fox one last time.
“Perhaps I will pay a visit to Senator Amidala today, and use the Force to make her more … fertile … than she naturally would be. After all, my soon-to-be apprentice is so family oriented, his wife entering a delicate state may speed his Fall. My empire may come in as little as 8 months, instead of 14.” the Nubian man sat at his desk. “What do you think, clone?”
“Whatever your excellency decides is best, your excellence.”
“Good. Stand, CC-1010. Wash that circle off of my floor.”
As Fox’s body moved, he ruminated. This wasn’t the first time he had seen his excellency do force osik, of course, as Darth Sidious loved to gloat, but this was a low that Fox hadn’t yet seen. The future the chancellor spoke of was horrific, and fox wished it were possible to kill him to avert it. At least fox would have control over his own thoughts, even if not his body. It was a cold comfort, but it seemed General Skywalker wouldn’t even have that.
Fox strode out of the chancellor’s office wishing that sometime soon the chancellor would forget to call order 14 so he could talk about what happened when the chancellor required his presence.

(omg sorry for the long post!!)
I have this fanfic idea in my head for years now and it is one of them i often fantasize about (yea i have many different ones. i just let them play in my head like a movie while staring into space or while listening to music) but anyway, sometimes harry is a boy but most time hes a girl version. He/she has this mad talent about getting in and out of any situation or place she needs to. He/she has this shady business where she steals for clients in exchange for money, or sometimes for pleasure because hes a bloody magpie and likes shiny things. The harder the mission the more she likes it (danger junky). I even imagined his/her apartments/hide-out place in great details (and the booby traps). Anyway, the ministry is under Voldemorts control, under guise as Minister Riddle. He gets involved in trying to trap her/him after she manages to sneak into his mansion (and skillfully avoids all the detection tools) and she robs his ring, escapes right under his nose too... (She has no clue that she robbed from a dark lord yet, that wasnt in her extensive research). That moment is when his obsession starts. She is already wanted by the ministry but he now gets involved. I have this scene where he lays a trap and she is in his grasp however she uses the ring as a bartering chip for her freedom (she thought she might have to use it when she realised a dark lord was after her). She placed it in a dangerous place surrounded by enemies, a place only she can sneak into but something goes wrong cos theres a rat in voldemorts inner circle and she gets caught. Before getting caught she manages to send the ring to him but he still decides to get her out of there and gets into full murder/war scene (he wanted to get rid of this group of enemies anyway). Shes pissed of. She could have gotten herself out even after the torture sessions, thank you very much. 😂 Anyway a fic full of (sexual or other) tension between the two, trying to get one over the other. A lot of wump, vulnerability, power play, childhood trauma, inner demons ect.. Theres so much more but ye, sorry, just felt like sharing and see where u go off on this haha, cos ur brain is super interesting and i never had the skill to write something even if i have so many ideas. Mind you, i tried starting on my own novel but im just not a writer, if something could just take it straight from my brain to paper, that would be awesome 😂😂😂 (futur AI?? Haha) xxx
(Imma borrow a concept from American Gods for this because it's too good not to!)
When Harry is four she finds a coin on the ground. It's gold, and shiny and to a little girl it's the prettiest thing she’s ever seen. So she picks it up and puts it in her pocket - and it's the best decision she ever made.
Because her pretty little trinket is, not that she knows it at that point, a leprechaun's coin. Imbued with pure luck, this little coin changes her life, and brings with it certain traits.
A need for mischief, the ability to come out of any situation on top, a love for all things shiny. And that combination, introduced to someone so young, well...it's only natural that Harry would grow a taste for thievery.
Years fly by and Harry, with her lucky coin held close, begins to gain a reputation as someone who can get in and out of impossible situations, in and out of impenetrable places, and collect valuable items. She can't help herself - it's almost an addiction, and no one is better than her.
Her current wanted poster - no image, because she's too lucky for that - is framed on the wall of her hideout.
Harry never turns down an interesting job, so when someone asks her to break into Minister Riddle's house and steal some documents, she agrees because why wouldn't she? Riddle's a dick of a politician, and Harry might not be heavily involved in the politics of her country but she gets a special kind of joy from fucking over assholes.
She breaks into his house, grabs the documents, and on her way out she sees a ring. It's gaudy, truly a hideous thing, but Harry wants it.
So she takes it.
How was she to know that that ring would be the thing that brings down the full attention of the Minister on her? How was she to know that her dickhead of a Minister was actually a fucking Dark Lord and petty as shit.
Harry likes a challenge but she likes living more - and something tells her that even with her lucky coin, she wouldn't come out of that fight unscathed.
And so begins their dance. Harry on the run, Riddle at her heels, back and forth, up and down, the two of them circling each other like cats.
Riddle's growing obsession with the person clever and quick enough to outmanoeuvre him.
Harry's addiction to adrenaline making her take more risks.
This is the most fun either of them have had in years.

Yeah, I might not have watched Winx Club outside of one or two episodes back when it was airing, but one megacrossover fanfic verse I used to follow (before they used the "cure your asexuals" trope and I just cut myself off from the entire thing), had Winx Club in one of the FEW segments that was safe from the overall quality decay (which of course meant that it was basically dead), and thus I am very familiar with how Diasporo was BASICALLY a designated villain prior to the whole "Love Potion" thing.
Mostly because, y'know, her fiance cheated on her with some other girl, while also keeping her existence and their engagement a SECRET from the girl he was cheating on her with, risking a potential international scandal in the process.
Which is a VERY valid reason to be upset, even if it doesn't justify her later actions!
So I'm guessing Diasporo won't be a villain in your reboot?
YEAH
Like re: Canon: I give Sky /some/ of a break because like.
1.) His thing with Diaspro was very clearly an arranged marriage where he didn't love her but only felt obligated to do out of a Duty to his People, and started to fall for Bloom naturally. He is conflicted about doing what he has to as a Royal vs. following his heart rather than 'oh which cute girl do I choose?', and later issues with Diaspro after Sky chooses Bloom are either Bloom being jealous and not trusting while he tries to keep Diaspro as a friend and caring about her general wellbeing as a person and/or Diaspro going full manipulative villain who does some love potion/mind control shit.
and
2.) In the first season, Sky had switched identities with Brandon because for security reasons. So while he cared about Bloom and was clearly falling for her, telling her about the switch is still off the table because he's trying to not fucking die(even if he thinks he can trust that Bloom isn't some assassin, he doesn't know how well she can keep secrets).
Like don't get me wrong, this is early 2000s heteronormativity so there's plenty of romance drama and fucking up with them overall. But this thing I at least look at the bigger picture for.
BUT YEAH DIASPRO AND THE ROMANCE DRAMA IN MY REWRITE IDEA
So first off, we still have the Sky/Brandon swap plot, but there's more weight added to the whole 'protect the prince' thing. Civil unrest in his homeworld, assassination attempts, etc. Sky is legit in danger, and swapping identities with Brandon is a good option to keep him safe.
Within my rewrite, he does voice that he does NOT like this plan. He does not want people to die for him, especially his best friend. But his parents overrule his wishes on that, and Brandon thinks that, as much as he doesn't want to die, Sky is a good person who will make good changes when he takes the throne so he is willing to risk himself to keep his friend safe. (Sky makes this very hard by risking himself to keep everyone else safe as well lmao)
So yeah they do the swap thing and telling the others is.... a little low on the list. Because of the danger, even if they trust the groups. (Riven and Timmy figure it out so quick tho lmao)
Back to Diaspro!
Diaspro is still, technically, Sky's fiance. However, Sky is very adamant that he is not going to marry her. Yes he has a duty to his people, but it is not going to be done by using her as a bargaining chip in a political alliance.
When Diaspro shows up and accidentally outs the 'they swapped and I'm his fiance' thing, everyone's understandably upset which has Sky ramble the whole thing to try and explain that he is very much not cheating he does love Bloom this is a Complicated™ situation etc. Which.... yeah there's a little hurt still because emotions aren't always rational, but everyone understands.
Diaspro doesn't exactly take this /well/ because while Sky has kinda said it before, this is the first time he's been very blunt and makes her realize that he might be serious. She does kinda start a fight with Bloom in a 'jealous catfight' way, but Bloom can absolutely hold her own in a fight by now. Sky tries to talk to her and explain that he does still care about her, but he doesn't love her like that.
Diaspro kinda sulks off screen in denial until the Season Finale episodes. Er, long story short: giant Army of Darkness that is down to kill like fuckin everyone in it's path.
She shows up again to try and get Sky to evacuate. Save himself. He's a Prince, he should have people fighting for him, not be in the battle!
Sky gives her a speech about the kind of King he wants to be when he takes the throne. He wants to help his people, to protect them. How can he do that if he doesn't get involved and instead hides away in a palace, doing his best to relax while everyone else takes care of it for him?
It makes Diaspro pause for a moment. If they were still to get married one day, what kind of Queen would she want to be? She stays for the battle and helps out where she can.
In the time between seasons, Diaspro does a lot of thinking. Firstly, getting over the heartbreak and realizing it's not exactly heartbreak. She didn't love Sky. Not like a romantic love at least, she still cares for him. But the idea of him as her future husband has been in her head since she was a child.
Which leads her to thinking over her life. How everything her parents wanted her to do, everything they raised her for, every skill she has? It all is based around the idea that she's going to be Sky's trophy wife.
If that's not to be her future, she has no idea what to do. What would she even /want/ to do?
After much thought, she gets enrolled at Alfea. Lying to her parents about how going to the school would let her be around Sky more often and 'win him back from that harlot!', but having no intention of doing so.
Within Season 2, Diaspro gets dragged into the main group through both seeking Bloom out to apologize for before and reassure her, and also because the Main Plot involves being underground, and Diaspro's Earth and Gemstone-based Magic will help a lot with that.
I don't have direct plans for her in further seasons other than agreeing with Sky about dissolving their marriage arrangement and that their Realm needs a lot of changes in the coming future.

I'd like to introduce you to the main characters of my dragon rider story, The Ambassadors, and I decided a nice, low-effort way of doing so would be with the OC bingo I made a while back.
For starters, meet Shard, the protagonist and sole POV character of the story:
His name has secret significance: Waaaaay back in the day, my brother and I started to develop the concept for a video game. It was a fantasy game, basically a Zelda clone, where you would play as a young man named Shard who would go on a quest of some sort. I don't remember much of it, especially considering we never got very far with it before we realized we were, like, ten and had no idea how to make a good video game. So we scrapped it, but I kept the name Shard and tucked it in my back pocket to use for another fantasy protagonist sometime. The fairly traditional fantasy setting of this story seemed like the perfect opportunity to put the name to use.
I am so sorry, my child: All this poor kid wants to do is live a calm, peaceful life like a normal person, but I dropped the Plot on him, ripped him away from his comfortable life, and threw him way out of his comfort zone. Worst of all, though, I put him in situations where he has to deal with trauma and anger issues that were never a problem before, to the point where he loses hope and almost takes his own life T_T
I would love fanart of him: Once upon a time, someone did make fanart of him, and it was the most amazing thing ever <3 Unfortunately, due to some worldbuilding changes I've made since then, it's no longer quite accurate, so I'd need new art made anyway. But I would be thrilled.
I would want to be his friend irl: Shard would make such a good friend, guys. Kind, thoughtful, happy to let others talk and just listen, strong moral compass. Due to the events of the story, he has both a reawakening of his childlike wonder and playfulness, as well as a growing confidence and assertiveness when the chips are down. He ends up as a quiet kind of leader - the kind who listens to everyone's input and assigns tasks to people based on their strengths.
Made specifically for a relationship: I mean...the whole point of this story was "a dragon rider story, but done right." So yeah, Shard was created to be a dragon rider, which meant he was made to be in relationship with a dragon from day one. I don't know that I consciously did this, but the way his dragon's personality developed certainly informed his own character development, because they needed to be foils for each other.
Vital to the plot: He's literally the protagonist, so yeah.
I can see so much of myself in him: As I said a while ago, there aren't a whole lot of fantasy protagonists as quiet and mild as Shard. At least, not in fantasy that's more or less centered around adventures and quests and battles and things. Shard is mostly reactive, running away from danger rather than towards it, with no desire to get involved in any greater adventure beyond simply keeping himself and his dragon safe. Eventually, he can't just sit back any longer, and he does get involved in the epic climactic battle for the fate of the world, but if he had his way, he would just settle down somewhere quiet, away from any sort of excitement. Fantasy protagonists tend to be much more attention-grabbing than that, but Shard is much more like me. So I guess it's no wonder that I naturally began to write him that way. Even the trouble he has with anger later on in the story is a sort of mirror of my own fear. One reason I'm mild-mannered myself is that I fear the consequences of letting anger get away with me.
Could be the protagonist of his own story: And he is! XD
I love him, Your Honor: I really do. Not just because he's a lot like me, or because I get to vicariously live out a lot of my dragon-related dreams through him. He's also the character who has most violently and abruptly wrested control away from me while I was writing him. There's one scene where it was like he came alive and started doing things I hadn't even thought of, and all I could do was watch. His actions helped reveal the main theme of the story, but I hardly feel like I was the one to write them. That never happens with me, so I would treasure him as a character for this reason only, even if none of the other reasons were true.
He gets so much page-time: Again, he's the protagonist and only POV character. He's on every page.
Free space: Can I gush about Shard's armor and sword? The human Ambassadors (the dragon riders) each have a suit of scale mail in a color that matches that of their dragon. Shard's is black, so he cuts a striking figure when he goes into battle. The hilt of his sword is shaped to look like a dragon, with the head lying on the flat of the blade, the wings forming the crossguard, and the tail curled around the pommel. In my mind's eye, it looks sick <3
#oc bingo#the ambassadors#shard#aw no bingo for him :(#i was going to circle 'holds gently'#but then i remembered that i more or less drop-kick him off a cliff in terms of the plot so maybe that's not exactly accurate XD

Once again, picking at your brain for your thoughts
What’re your reasons/ideas behind your top hc’s for Bro
i'm brain dead right now after a full shift so let me give you the long short list and a more general explanation of my general fascination with this guy
the basis of my takes and hcs on bro stem from approaching him and viewing him as a person who is flawed and wrong and misguided, but a person and not a generic one faced boogeyman. he is an abuser, he has a lack of boundaries and he has violent tendencies, but i don't look at it in a vacuum because unlike dave who's only ever seen what bro allowed him to see, we can look at him as a whole.
i picked him up a couple years ago in a group roleplay server, mainly as a "i don't trust anyone else to write him/haha wouldn't it be funny if" and since then he's been living rent free in my head - but he's out grown what canon gave us.
and the fundamentals of that are:
0 | SPITE, DISGUST AND FRUSTRATION: he is a fascinating character in his own right, but goddamn is he polarising and one prone to settle in the extremes of fandom perception to the point that people have to fucking tag him as a trigger warning nowadays, which makes people unwilling to interact and engage in more nuanced discussions of him out of avoidance of being harassed which is understandable. however this kind of left him as a character to the wolves, and now a lot of his more recent works and his entire tag in general in whatever site you use has been trashed by incestuous pedophiles - which makes people even less wiling to interact with the concepts brought up in his character. and honestly fuck that. i'm willing to endure dealing w their bullshit directly n i'm willing to call these people what they are (groomers sharing csa material for personal gratification and desensitisation) and i'm not giving them free reign of bro's tag anymore. these freaks should be rightfully shunned and mocked and judged where ever they go because they're too deep in self-denial to ever change.
I | EXTRAPOLATION: with alpha dirk's introduction we were left with a question, how could this kid end up like his beta session self? what could possibly drive the dirk we grow to like and see multiple facets of become this shell of a man? and boy do i love assuming and explaining shit away for people who are barely characters in their own right. free reign to do whatever i want baby.
II | BRAIN DAMAGE: the answer to that question is to chip away at the soul and to scramble a man's sense of reality. i haven't really been in the headspace for it but id love to one day fully explore the horrors of Bro and Lil Cal's codependency for those 30 some years. with that as a base (but not an excuse) i started to slowly piece him back together, and working with the 'undesirables' of mental illness. he is an unmedicafed paranoid schizophrenic with hoarding tendencies who was diagnosed with aspergers as a child... and then punished for it, being effectively abandoned by the system to fates whims and blamed for never having his needs met. his one solid connection at any point in time was lil cal. but instead of villanizing him for having these traits... i see him as someone who was trying to help, but was misguided by his closest confidant and blinded by his over controlling paranoid nature and compulsory need to one up people. everything bro did, he did to help dave... he just never stopped to think about if he was going about it the right way, because he saw dave as an extension of himself and thus of course thought his behaviour was appropriate, because he is acting as who he wished he had when he himself was a kid.
III | PROJECTING AND RELATABILITY: damn he just like me fr. aka on top of all of that, i've grown to attach some of my own traits onto him and vice versa as a means of coping with my own backstory and as a backwards way of acknowledging that my feelings are valid... by allowing bro strider of all people to also go through them and changing myself to have compassion for him.
there's more but look i forgot and m done eating my cold burger.
#🆒#📩#🧢#passing out like snoooore mimimimi snoooore#I am not proof reading this if its legible it's legible

VF/VLD Siblingverse AU thoughts
Sometimes (a lot of the time lately?), I think of siblingverse AU stuff, as some of you may have seen me upload. And a lot of things that come up in my mind is canon-based stuff, especially involving some VLD-ness and characters in a VF reality. And you may know, my favourite go-to is Katie, of VLD, being Pidge and Chip’s younger sister, sparked by Pidge mentioning a kid sister once back in DotU.
I guess this time I just kinda wanna talk about an AU often on my mind and even tempting me to write it.
And that’s the one with Katie being a technopath. I’ve had arts and ideas of that and one oneshot. But past that...
Anyway.
The thought is... simple? Is it simple? I don’t know.
But Katie, being much younger than her brothers (and almost the same age as the cadets in VF when they come to Arus) is always on my mind. And raised on Olkarion since Balto’s destruction. She’s found and raised by Thace and Ulaz, two Drule that help her out and she ends up taking a shine to them, so they care for her.
Thace and Ulaz are part of an organization (Blade of Marmora in VLD, may have same or similar name for VF AU) of Drule who aren’t part of the empire.
Previously I had thought of NO ONE knowing Katie was raised by Drule, but remembering Chip and the others helping a planet of Drule in Vehicle Voltron reading one of the comics with the twins, Roza and Zora, and them pretty much being like ambassadors, and chatting with some friends, it hit me. At least the pilots (Keith, Allura, Lance, Hunk, and definitely Pidge) know of this after Pidge and Chip finally find their sister, safe and sound on Olkarion.
The thought is that it takes the twins a few years to find their sister. When they do, she’s already accustomed to the Olkari life and happy with her dads. The siblings don’t abandon her, mind you; but they do nothing to take her away, as much as they would love to have her back and care for her themselves. There are two reasons. One, it would be cruel separating Katie from her dads. She’s happy with them. Two, they probably fear her being used to control them. And yeah, the Galaxy Alliance would probably be that cruel (especially Sky Marshall Wade) to keep custody over Katie and use her to make sure Pidge and Chip don’t deviate or disobey.
So, Katie remaining with Thace and Ulaz is safer, and letting the alliance either think she’s dead or not know she exists at all is best.
Next thought is Katie joining the force. She doesn’t fully join on as a cadet right away (I feel like she eventually would become one to train to pilot a lion). But she does eventually leave Olkarion for the training experience working with the Voltron Force would provide, as supported by her dads.
However, the question is “when does this happen?”.
And I had thoughts. If I did write this as a fic, I feel like it would take place either right before or sometime after episode 7, The Lion Riders Return, but definitely before Wade is arrested.
The idea is that while Wade has the black lion, he had it chipped to record around it. This lets him spy on the team, at least until it’s discovered. The lion’s still having some malfunctions at this point (thanks a lot, Wade, you quiznaking snart). Someone, quite possibly Hunk, suggests taking Black to Olkarion, the Olkari being literal tech wizards and probably able to sort her out. Larmina gets excited because, in such idea, she and Katie have been friends for the past two years when Allura would take diplomatic trips to visit.
Daniel and Vince don’t know who Katie is and in front of the lion where they can be spied on, it’s explained that she’s Pidge’s sister and has been hidden from the alliance there.
This is when Wade decides to attack Olkarion, hoping to use them, especially Katie, against the Force.
But there’s a problem.
THE OLKARI ARE LITERAL TECH WIZARDS!
By nature, they’re pretty much technopaths. Wade making the mistakes of using his expensive robots to try and take over doesn’t go well, even Katie, a technopath herself, is handling herself.
And it’s this such “episode” where she would join.
There are other ideas. Like how no one is promoted during “season one”, but more time in the cockpit and training can happen.
Also, Olkarion was formerly part of the Galaxy Alliance. However, when Voltron was decommissioned and locked away, they were booted from the alliance because Ryner, the leader of the Olkari, was in favour of looking into Voltron and what went wrong. Speaking out a lot and probably even insulting Wade, they’re eventually voted out, not many wanting to stand against Wade (but you can bet that Coran voted in favour of keeping Olkarion in the alliance, he won’t turn on them). Despite being booted, they kept close ties with Arus and probably became a rebel hub and worked a lot with The Den.
Anyway, for the time being, I’ll leave it at that. They’re fun thoughts and who knows, maybe one day I will indulge upon it as a fic.
Until next time!

Why would N and Sawyer have been raised separately?
Also, say Sawyer had a similar experience of being exposed to only hurt pokemon, imagine—Sawyer only knows sad pokemon, or only knows angry ones, and this triggers some instinctive response that the dormant one doesn't fully understand
raised separately in this case in that N was never allowed to interact with any other humans (his interactions with them were limited, even given his foster sisters). Given how Sawyer was effectively getting red flags by just BEING in Team Plasma and subconsciously acting on it around her parents, to her absolute detriment (her saying she didn't like Ghetsis really put her through hell).
the SI OC finally emerging and the temporary amnesia (at this point, it's more trauma-based amnesia, especially when paired up with the severe venipede poisoning) was somewhat of a blessing in disguise, because HOLY SHIT.
hvjefjklfg
I can legitimately IMAGINE the reasoning behind that Pokemon interaction, and a lot of it coming from whichever Team Plasma members were caring for Sawyer, like...N gets brought back and he's kinda fucked up, making a LOT of Pokemon noises, sometimes even growling or whimpering (not me crying over the fact that he would've likely gotten punished for something that comes naturally to him, given his upbringing like WHAT THE FUCK).
And you got this BRILLIANT IDEA LIKE, "hey, lets give him a playmate. we have that bargaining chip, yeah???"
so trying to replicate a similar situation, while adding in a control factor of sorts while N is also...going through it (before they just decided to grab Anthea and Concordia).
It was more or less trying to get it in N's head that Pokemon and Humans should live apart, and whatever bullcrap he was getting fed to help further Ghetsis's agenda.
bUT LIKE THE SI OC IS STILL IN SAWYER, JUST DORMANT. it still gets so many red flags and anxiety, until it is effectively beaten into them to just act a certain way until they can get away.
The fact that Sawyer can still deal with her Sewaddle and other hostile Pokemon interacting with her FAR BETTER than those of Team Plasma putting her into fight or flight mode REALLY says a lot about her upbringing.
lmao can you just imagine her fucking melting into someone's embraces, like, "Huh?"
and just crying, because it's probably the first time she's ever been genuinely hugged????
despite the dissonance in her soul creating this negative feedback in most Pokemon while she adjusts to what is effectively her new life, it is not done purposely - like, even with how her Sewaddle is, later on, still being a hostile brat, she does NOT hate Sawyer. There just came a point where she couldn't figure out how to act on some of the latent feelings of affection that kept resurfacing more and more, as she worked her way through her eventual evolution into a Leavanny. But that doesn't stop her from being so damn protective of Sawyer.
You'd even get some of the Audino that hissed at her to like...want to apologize later on, with Sawyer receiving so many little trinkets and gifts through the Pokemon Center system, because the Audino were just so EMBARRASSED. even have that little birthday surprise that happened during Gen VI and VII, where you enter a Pokemon Center and get a nice happy birthday.
Sawyer is a very emotional person who deserves the world. She might get hurt a lot, and certainly, the treatment she gets from some Pokemon could be better, but at the end of the day, she isn't alone. And that's honestly good enough for her, the longer she realizes how much nicer it is to be with them instead of hobbling off on her own.
until then, poor Sawyer. She and N just handshaking over their terrible childhoods.
#ask#pokemon#pokemon black and white#n harmonia#sawyer (oc)#with friends like these (fanfic)#feel free to ask me about sawyer#or any of my pokemon ocs really lmao

Dating a 70s Telecaster
I happened to see the above guitar, a late 70s Telecaster, listed on craigslist for what seemed to be an excellent price. I jumped at the chance to pick it up but given the nature of Fender guitars and the used guitar market, I wanted to make sure it was completely legit. There are a few things to look for and I figured it would be useful to document them here.
The Serial Number
The most obvious way to check the age of a guitar is by inspecting the serial number. Unfortunately, this is also one of the least reliable as Fender used numbers that span years and can at best give you a general idea of the date. Also, depending on the guitar style the serial number may be stamped on the metal neck plate, which can be easily counterfeited.
For a mid to late 70s Telecaster, the serial is going to be stamped on the headstock. You can use this to narrow down the date range using any number of serial number lookup sites online. Oddly the official Fender lookup site is usually the least useful, especially when dealing with older guitars. For this guitar one of the main sites returned the following:
This narrows it down to three possibilities. Based on the decal design and the Made in USA marking, it's likely that this guitar was produced in 1978 at the Fullerton plant. But we can get more specific - and rule out a reproduction decal or fake serial number.
Further Inspection
At this point you need to start taking the guitar apart. Fender guitars usually have date markings and sometimes assembly notation in the body cavities and the end of the neck. The guitar was set up pretty well to begin with, so I didn't want to pull the neck unless I needed to. Ultimately I didn't, but you can still see the markings on the neck that give you a pretty good idea of the date on the neck by looking at the route above the neck pickup.
You can also see pretty typical wear in the finish that would be indicative of how a guitar like this would age. Most of the instrument is in great shape but when the pickguard comes off you can see a few spots where finish chipped and you can see the difference in the fading of the finish where it was not covered by the guard below.
The next thing to check are the date codes on the potentiometers in the control panel. Fender guitars generally used CTS pots and they all carry date codes that tell you the month that the pot was manufactured. As the guitar was built, the neck, body, bridge, pickups and electronics were all pulled from stock at the factory. You can use the dates on individual parts to get a better idea of when the guitar would have come off the line or at least an idea of a date before which it couldn't have.
You can see the code on the side of the pot here. A 137-7842. This decodes as follows:
A = Analog Taper
137 = The company code for CTS
7842 = Manufactured in 1978, during the 42nd week of the year
A quick check of a calendar means that this pot was part of a batch produced between October 16 and 22. This means the guitar can be no older than late October/early November of 1978. Because we're already up against the serial number date range, we can say with high confidence that this guitar came from the factory just in time for the holidays in 1978.
Additional things to note are the correct wiring style and switch for the period along with a correct capacitor in the tone circuit.
Also of note, was that the pickguard is likely to be original as it still has a matching serial number sticker on it. These stickers weren't something Fender used all the time and it's rare that you'd see someone try to counterfeit one, especially on a relatively unassuming model and year.
With the evidence mounting that this was a legit Fender and the providence fairly clear I opted to not pull the neck, or bridge. The corrosion on the bridge pickup was correct for the era and overall condition of the guitar and even the screws on the pickups look like they had never been touched since it left the factory outside of minor height adjustments. Also, I bought this guitar to play and keep so it was a case of "good enough for me."
If you found this interesting let me know. If you have any questions about validating your vintage Fender drop me a line and I'd be happy to help (though I'd probably recommend taking it to a local luthier shop as they'll do a better job with the guitar in front of them).

Have any fun headcanons on how Entrapta runs her Kimgdom pre and post war?
Like does trying to be more social make her try to interact with her subjects
I did a story once of post war series of Dryl hosting a science fair and Entrapta is the judge
Having her be a normal responsible ruler is the most boring thing to think about in the world actually. It's just... absolutely not in her nature, nor should it be ever. The idea of Glimmer settling down is already dull enough.
For your question - Pre-war, i have a longstanding oneshot idea for that. At least the early years. But imo Entrapta was not ready, and the position her kingdom was in when it was handed over was absolute hot trash. So she just buried her head in the sand and let it fall apart, building robots for herself and to replace lost staff.
"Your Highness, sorry about your family, we really need you to leave the workshop though, your dad lost his trade deals with Brightmoon when the Horde attacked so there is a shortage of food and wood, we haven't sold any steel in months so the miners have no work, castle staff are leaving in droves especially now, and your coronation ceremony is supposed to be in six minutes. Surely you want to finally take control of the situation and not repeat the mistakes of the late Prince-- Wait, Princess, where are you going--"
So that's why Dryl is a deadzone at the start of the show and Entrapta only has 3 castle staff who don't like her very much, as well as absolutely NOBODY responding to her distress beacon. The cooks were probably recent hires too because they seem so young, two of them could be younger than Entrapta herself. And she had NO qualms handing over her kingdom to the Horde. Catra said "Dryl's forces have fled". I think this is funnier if the only people who lived there were the 3 castle cooks, some daring squatters like the goblin dude, a postman, and a random elderly couple who keep complaining about the large noisy Horde vehicles. Otherwise she let a kingdom full of people get taken over by the Horde, which is a little fucked up even for Entrapta, but not out of her range.
Post-show I think this is where the question really comes in, who is she now? Entrapta has spent the series on a ridiculous and dangerous adventure moving from place to place, things being chaotic for her moreso than anyone else. She hasn't even BEEN to Dryl since she was left in the Fright Zone!! And she clearly didn't miss it much. The last time Entrapta was in Dryl was in the Portal episode and I thought that scene was quite sad, sure there are her robot friends, but it came across as a safe kind of prison (though ofc it's not safe with what she gets up to) where there are no exciting social interactions to get hurt by or enjoy.
When you've moved to the Fright Zone, survived Beast Island, ran from place to place surviving Prime's attack, spent months on a dangerous space mission, and then come back to find your camp has to move again because all your buddies got chipped, the idea of STOPPING that adventure and "settling down" back into that shitty castle labyrinth you locked yourself in years ago, taking on the responsibilities you long abandoned, it must be terrifying!!!
Personally what I see happening is Entrapta just assuming she can instantly get settled in back home since, duh, it's HOME, and when she gets there and the place is completely falling apart because the Horde struggled to survive against the Prime invasion, the outer areas of the castle are overrun with growth, but the inside is as dark and confusing and empty as she left it, there are no people, there's no sound, how can that possibly feel like home??? Where do you even begin to make this town feel like a home to anyone?
But she does have more support now from all her friends, and there are a lot of new people that NEED a stable place to live, and while I think Entrapta's instinct would be to stay wherever her friends are (most of them may be in Brightmoon), she'd probably decide to head home, demolish the castle walls to let some light in, and set up a sanctuary in Dryl for some of the clones. There's lots of room, and if Hordak and Wrong Hordak are there, together everyone can build a pretty cool town. Maybe even a school, and a spaceport!!! Wouldn't that be awesome! What a bunch of nerds.
Doing princessy things like Glimmer and leading dull ceremonies and stuff like that? Never. Entrapta would sooner abdicate. Maybe she does. Or maybe she delegates all the most boring responsibilities to other people and finds a way to do the bare minimum princess work to keep everyone together with the most efficiency. Does anyone see it as princess work or just healthy leadership? I bet Entrapta disappears a lot on science adventures. There is always going to be an edge of chaos in Dryl. People don't like authority in that town, especially not the ruler.

📙⭐🌠🌀💜🎀 on the oc ask?
I’m never picking the characters myself for these ask things again it makes this take so much longer 😭
📙 What kind of subjects (of conversation, of discussion, in school or whatever) does your OC find interesting or engaging or that they can talk for hours about? What kind of stuff do they just find fun?
Lucia is really interested in like world events and politics, she thinks it’s very interesting to learn about. She also thinks it’s incredibly depressing and she hates hearing about it, so as you can imagine there is some conflict between these two desires. At any rate, she can talk for a long time about it— she’s pretty quiet at first, but if you get her talking she’ll like, go on a long monologue abt whatever topic. But she for the most part doesn’t find it fun, it’s more of like a compulsion to learn more about it + understand it I guess. Not dissimilar to Rocio’s obsession with magic, but it’s more grounded in nature. In terms of what she likes to talk about for fun, she really likes talking about + listening to music, + can talk for a while about it if she’s asked to.
🌠 Who was your OC’s first friend? Do they remember them or are they still friends now? Talk about some of the people your OC has lost contact with over the years. Do they have any regrets about losing these people and would they revist them if they could?
Ok I have to say. I’m not doing this one I am so sorry I tried to think of something I promise but I guess no one has like a former friend/someone they’ve lost contact with as part of their backstory. Rest in pieces. And I really want to get this done and post it bc I feel bad for taking 8 thousand billion years on this so I will pass on this question I’m sorry. you might have forgot you even sent this by now LOL
⭐ What is your OC afraid of? Any crippling phobias or some such? How do they act when scared and what helps them calm down? Does anyone ever find your OC scary? Why?
Jude (Prince Sovereign of Renaudin <3) I think for the most part has been kind of emotionally shut down for a while now. He’s afraid of a war breaking out again in the same way most people are, but probably less so than the average person because he’s resigned to the fact he has no control over anything that happens. He doesn’t want to die or anything, but he’s not all that afraid of it either. I think when he does get scared he tries to dissociate from the situation, like imagine he’s not really there or he’s looking down on everything from afar. Maybe he’ll just go to sleep or whatever. Do old timey drugs they had in the 1910s what was popular back then opium? No idea.
I think people are scared of him very frequently though, like since his power is so strong he could like. Extinguish the sun/create eternal night if he wanted to, potentially. He’s not actually that powerful, at least under ordinary circumstances, but like the rumors/his reputation have been exaggerated. So everyone that like interacts with him directly (and also political leaders who have to deal with him being used as a threat/bargaining chip) are afraid of him both as an object of extreme power and as a person— they’d be fucked if he ever decided to go rogue yk.
🌀 Where is your OC from? Where were they born? Do they still live there, if not why did they move? If they still live in the area how has it changed since their childhood? How many places has your OC lived in and where has been their favourite?
Kela has been living in the coral kingdom for most of her recent life, since that’s where the people she like acts as advisor to (and later replaces) work, right? Like it was the first place created by wizards and the largest of the kingdoms, so there’s a lot of trade lot of meetings of international leaders etc etc, and she was indeed born there, but she actually was raised in the kelp forest kingdom. They didn’t know abt the magic superintelligence thing at the time and thought she was just a normal person with no special attributes, so they didn’t want to study her or anything and she was raised in like a group home type setup. It was pretty nice, the wildlife in that area is very beautiful and she really likes being in nature so that was good for her. She was also good at making friends, and since she was raised alongside a lot of other kids, it was nice for her, she got along with them really well. So she has a lot of pleasant memories associated with it, and is very sad she had to leave, but she understands why it was important, and she likes the coral kingdom as well. I think she likes them equally as much, she cares a lot abt the people of both kingdoms in general + likes both a crowded city setting and a small town setting. She likes the city because you never like run out of different people if that makes sense?
💜 Music or Silence? Swords or Spells? Cities or Nature?
Aya: Music, swords (<more so guns or regular fistfighting than either of those, though) nature (they hate living in a city so fucking much they’d be happy living alone in the woods, not for isolation reasons (they actually dislike being isolated) but just bc of the environment. They hate claustrophobic spaces with a lot of people)
🎀 Do they wear a specific accessory with a special meaning behind it? What is their usual fashion sense like? What do they wear when they want to be comfortable and what do they wear when they’re going to a fancy party? Or do they just not care?
Only character I have that wears a particular accessory often is Angel so I will go with him <3 he wears these green spherical earrings like every single day, he likes how they look + they’re kind of similar to jade which is popular at the time. But they’re really made of glass so he has to be careful not to break them. Very impractical. In the country/time period he lives, there are two different styles, one that’s a more ‘traditional’ style and one that follows international trends. Both of them are popular and neither is really favored over the other (except in certain specific circumstances like ceremonially/for holidays or for meetings with international business associates), but mixing them together is considered extremely unfashionable. Angel used to like mixing them together as a kid, but now that he’s older he is significantly more fashionable. Wears things from either style depending on how he’s feeling. He used to have horrendous fashion sense but he’s actually pretty good at it now. This is bc he is incredibly self centered and so cares a lot abt how people see him. He definitely puts a lot of effort into dressing up if thr event calls for it.
#thanks for sending these in though#despite my mind turning into a 404 error screen every time I tried to answer them#it was enjoyable and helpful in developing these people#my ocs#conviction ocs

I’m a big fan of the terminator series, and I’ve read through some of your posts. You’ve mentioned a couple of times that T1, T2, and DF are “canon” and I was wondering if you could go into depth about that?
I'm sincerely sorry for missing this for like... ever. Sorry!
So "canon" is always subjective. What's considered gospel is always down to how you define it, but I generally defer to either whoever had the biggest part to play in creating or making something, or to what is current at time of writing, in the story universe, in the format of the original... depending on which has a stronger case at the time.
So what Chris Carter says is "true" to the world of the X Files is canon - what a spinoff novelisation has Mulder and Scully romp around doing is not, even if it's licensed.
It gets a bit trickier when you talk about something like Star Wars - George Lucas would historically have been the arbiter of ~Canon~, but no longer is. Star Wars is an ongoing movie universe now without his involvement. So, because the timeline is current and Lucas has bowed out, I consider the modern Star Wars movies to trump the older EU spin off content. They have the strongest claim to canon.
Canon is in some ways more fungible than usual when it comes to Terminator - it has multiple, mutually exclusive timelines branching out from T2, and the nature of the premise means something canon in one movie can be unravelled by the next even if they're in the same timeline. This is arguably even true in some ways of T1 and T2, which have contradictory concepts of time travel or where the future goes from here.
That said - let's start simple.
We can pretty much all agree T1 is, obviously, canon, because it's the first movie the rest all spring from.
T2 is canon, because James Cameron made it, and because *every* subsequent movie follows on from it as if it remains true. So there's no contest to it.
Dark Fate is a little less ironclad - but it still meets both the criteria I consider qualifying, easily.
Firstly, right now it's the "current" timeline - it's entirely possible it will be displaced by another movie in future, but right now it's the heir apparent. It overwrites all the previous movies since T2, and nothing has been handed the torch since.
Secondly, Cameron was heavily involved with it.
Technically, he produced the movie, and is credited as such - but James Cameron is a notorious control freak, and a James Cameron producer credit means something very different to what it seems to mean for most, as Robert Rodriguez can attest.
It's clear how involved in the conceptualisation he was in any of the press interviews he did -
youtube
In another interview I can't get to hand, he even went on to suggest he hoped to be more involved in any follow ups DF generated.
We know he had input to the script directly, having contributed set piece ideas to it - the first death we see (yes, that one), and the plane-to-dam stuff were his ideas - and even scenes (Sarah and Carl's confrontation) and was rewriting script pages up until shooting day, as has always been his habit.
We also know he also retained veto power - Tim Miller has mentioned a number of elements he would have done differently if not for being "overruled" by Cameron, including how the humans are faring in the war - and he was involved in edit suite decisions, much to Miller's frustration.
So we can say that, more than just giving it his seal of approval for the promo circuit (something he has, in fairness, done for previous post T2s), he was very actively involved in devising, making and steering the movie, had the final say over what ultimately went on to the screen, and even intended to tell stories continuing from the "facts" it established.
And on that point - in the Special Edition commentary for T2, Cameron makes it clear he actually considers the *Theatrical* cut of that movie canon, not any of the extended ones - which means that the chip removal scenes or Sarah's Kyle dream aren't considered gospel to the continuity. He considers these "might have been" scenes, referring to them as "donut holes", ie the fun little off-cuts of the real product.
Dark Fate takes his ruling on this as law - it adheres strictly to the "rules" of the Theatrical Cut, which is why we see a T800 capable of learning on its own. Per the Theatrical Cut, in canon, T800s can learn by themselves, so that's what Carl has done.
(And indeed, as brilliantly executed as the chip scene is, nixing it resolves an apparent contradiction in how the un-modded Phone Book Killer was already seen to learn independently in T1).
Now it is entirely possible Dark Fate will be overwritten in future - just as T3 or Genisys were - or that Cameron will withdraw the relay baton from Dark Fate and pass it elsewhere. But as it stands, at time of writing, I consider it pretty much as certified and canonical as it's possible to be. It's the current state-of-the-plot, jCam was all over it, it has the most direct continuity with T2, and it was the one Cameron hoped to run with.
So by my reckoning at least, that makes the official, canon, sealed by Word of God sequence of the Terminator story to be -
The Terminator -> Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Theatrical Cut) -> Terminator: Dark Fate
...at least for now.
I'm always open to argument otherwise though. :)

Ok I'm gonna take a bit to chip away at rewriting these headcanons
You ever get like.. totally conflicting headcanon vibes for a character. Because for the weirdest fucking reason WordGirl gives me demiboy vibes and also lesbian vibes but I literally can't even wrap my head around why because those conflict with my actual headcanons
I... have like two tropes I like I guess. Becky's blood is yellow/gold, and as a result, she blushes gold. (the reason I point out the "two tropes" thing is because this is also true of my Shadow design.) Similarly, this is why my Lexiconian design of her (which is still in development) has yellow skin.
The Botsford family is southern Asian-American, and the reason Becky looks so similar to them is just because that's the environment she grew up in.
She has a lot of repressed anger. It's just how she is. She holds onto it super tightly and she cannot let it go it's a curse
She gets so stressed so easily, it's basically her natural state of being. As much as she protects the city because it's important to her, it's also fucking stressful. If you were to take a substantial amount of pressure or anxiety off this girl's conscience she would probably pass out from sheer relief and may or may not suffer cardiac arrest
Her powers, just like your AU version of her, also get triggered and act out of control in high emotional stress, but she's really resistant to that because of just being in... constant distress.
I also have an idea that she sort of... shifts between her "natural" and Lexiconian form in relation to her emotions. A lot of emotional reactions, because she's a prepubescent kid with the weight of the world on her shoulders. It gets... easier as she grows up. But it gets worse before it gets better 'cause teenage years as an alien superhero lying to everyone you trust with totally jacked up emotional regulation SUCKS. I would know from experience /hj
She's not the only alien in the city. The area is surprisingly something of a hotspot for supernatural activity, which is why Becky remains to fight danger.
From one convo w my sister about WordGirl, she proposed the idea that Becky's parents actually know she's WordGirl- basically, there's this one scene in, I think, The Amazing Spiderman 2? where May is talking to Peter, because he wants to know more about his parents and May doesn't want to tell him about them, and it's this whole conflict about keeping secrets from each other, and my sister says that scene shouldn't have gone the way it did because it sucks, instead that should have had Peter admit to May that he's Spiderman, and then have May, who's seen Peter return home beaten up after disappearing randomly, probably heard his voice through the Spiderman mask, most likely seen his costume at home, etc., respond with something to the effect of "I know, I just needed you to tell me". Her idea is that in terms of Becky and her parents, that should sort of be the idea. I mean, the secret has to come forth at some point, and honestly, it's not one that she's too great at hiding around family. TJ is pretty young, so I can see it continuing to fly over his head, but their parents are adults and they're certainly aware of a lot of oddities about their daughter.
Ok fuck this I'm going to bed this is in-fucking-comprehensible and not at all the headcanons I wanted to share I'll do this later
Oh god, your Becky is starting to sound too much like me- /hj
My poor child, I love her sm-

What is this? Is this like Home Shield? Did you know it was actually the interests of the philosophy department that sunk college on purpose for the benefit of humanity. It's not that far out after the football team was co-op'd and asked to sabotage itself. That team reminds me a lot about the police. It seems like treason to be involved in either situation. The school even paid everyone to view we are marshall at the theater. You don't remember that do you. You would never think I had to shut sports programs down because they had suckers so big we couldn't play any longer. You don't remember they would tell stories about transgender fish in religion and soccer teams that had to eat themselves Alive in the mountains. The football team was at the nuclear crash site. They did not recognize me at the time. I went into hiding for maybe ten years prior. The site is on the drive to Spencer. No one sees the connection. So she starts screaming mutiny right. She says mutiny because the suckers on the sports teams start screaming hood rich number one. You don't remember this. Like I woke up to this dream. She's only happy when everyone has to lose on purpose. It's a sick affair. I even see her at the test dummies 8 story office building. They're supposed to jump out of those windows. We had to crash a satellite into the building. You don't remember that. They helped stabilize crashing the entire system. When there's an 8 story office building and the police working to stabilize a nuclear test site what is that? That's 911. You don't remember. It's not we are marshall. It's 911. You did this to yourself. She even starts taking pictures of herself like she was in a car crash I was in over this situation because she was proud. I think some adults were using her as a brainwashed whore victim. Anyways ya. The valley bank probably doesn't work. This is probably a repeat scenario where everyone signs on to try to lose again. See those sports teams were the first signs of ultimately treason and police cohercion. They will try to fail themselves on purpose again. We have lived through this before. No one here wants to live. You do not have a living pilot or caption. Not sure when the game says ok God says the end doesn't happen before the beginning. Even if you know they did that that's not even fair to yourself. Can you imagine that. Your sports teams were sucking nuclear meth to work with the terrorist police. No I know that's kind of the bob's dead what did you think would happen when you tried to blow the globe up. Nuclear is bob. You all wanted to be bob. In theory it's possible I wanted to click so fast to play sports I defend the right to be brain dead. It's like a completely different story ok. This is the second story they tell us. This time it's the basketball team. They wanted to burn themselves Alive in nitrogen so they could be a faster car. A completely different story. Vroom vroom I know what I was doing. The problem with these ideas is you're lazy and you had to be a quitter at everything else you did in life. You would have been an infectious spreading analid. Analid. Analid. See the issue with the second story, is you blinded yourself. After the first story I just thought this was sheep cloning. More sickie religion stories. They thought heaven was a place they could control. They could not understand philosophy. You know now we're all little angels and I saw you driving a strangers car because I'm a cop. No I don't understand how to operate with natural elements like is suggested by regular people that want to be alive. Technically I don't know how many of these faces have social media accounts. You scrambled so many chips. You were some dumb government lol so you didn't think the chip act was terminator and covid was the matrix. I was trying to find clean power. You act like a clown. I don't want to hear your lecture on it's not fair. Everyone has the right to die to live. That is still a cult. Oh ok. There's no way to stop the cult. Sure. That's what I'm unrealistic about.
