have you ever gone by the name courtney

(gently appears two years later after you asked this question) nope!

#xylia answers asks #Anonymous #i'm sure this was very helpful #ok time to skedaddle now for another 2-4 years

i’ve heard very vaguely through the grapevine that while i was away aoyama actually did something with the whole akai/rei thing and i don’t want to read it. i’m too scared

#if aoyama fucked it up i will face god and walk backwards into hell #xylia rambles incoherently

anyhow if you're like "oh shit you're NOT dead after all what have you been up to" i've actually created a new akam au. in it, shuu is an independent researcher who begins long term research at the largest archival collection in the nation and rei is a grumpy archivist who runs the collection with scary efficiency and is very annoyed with akai at first to his newness at archival research.

also actually both of them work for the government and it turns into an "i know you know i know" game where they eye each other suspiciously over important primary documents

#honestly the archivist thing alone would be great but #i mean as long as i'm being indulgent #this is the most specific au possible don't talk to me #xylia rambles incoherently

characters in fiction who feel obligated to put on a stoic front because they're The Leader and They Have To Be Strong are the greatest but then you meet one in real life and you're like "i still love all of you but if i met you in real life and i could get away with it, i assure you i would punch you right in the jaw"

#this shouldn't be surprising bc i already know i'd punch rei #but like for other similar characters!#xylia rambles incoherently

autisticexpression

The appalling travesty that was BBC’s Sherlock has infested the Sherlock Holmes fandom like a malignant tumour so I want you all to know how awesome the OG literary Holmes was:

The literary Sherlock Holmes was an autistic coded character before people knew what autism was.

The literary Sherlock Holmes was an explicitly aromantic character before people had a word for that.

Literary Holmes solved mysteries not merely for the intellectual stimulation but also out of a genuine desire to do good. He cared deeply about every client. HE WAS NOT A HIGH-FUNCTIONING SOCIOPATH! He could definitely be insensitive and blunt but he was not callous or unfeeling.

Literary Sherlock threatened to beat a guy who was being creepy with his own stepdaughter.

Literary Sherlock learned to grow past his misogyny after a woman outsmarted him.

In particular, he was always respectful to Mrs Hudson, never belittling or talking down to her (the otherwise enjoyable Guy Ritchie films screw this up too). In fact, they got along so well that they were actually a very popular ship back in the day.

Literary Holmes would NEVER call Watson an idiot. He was his only friend who he loved and respected, even if he did get frustrated with him sometimes. He didn’t need to belittle others to feel powerful.

Literary Holmes and Watson broke into a corrupt man’s house and witnessed him being murdered by a woman he was blackmailing. They knew exactly who she was but they let her get away because they were chaotic good like that.

Literary Holmes had HUMILITY: something a smug prig like Steven Moffat will never understand. He could be arrogant but he had a sense of humour and was willing to admit when he was wrong. And he was wrong sometimes because he was a flawed human being, not some gross male power fantasy.

Literary Holmes respected the working class and was often disdainful of the rich. In Victorian England!

Literary Holmes indirectly caused the death of a guy who abused (and implicitly molested) his daughters and he didn’t give a single fuck about it.

At the end of the series, Holmes retires to Sussex to keep bees. Beekeepers are awesome.

#this may not be dcmk but this is accurate i've read like. half the og holmes canon #og holmes was a good guy. who did drugs. otherwise okay as far #as i'm concerned

I’M SORRY i tried but i’m falling asleep at my computer. i’m not really sure what i typed out but chances are i’ll probably regret it tomorrow. akam otp, hope they kill each other or die trying, goodnight

#xylia rambles incoherently #except not cause i have 34 pages to read and another 2 to write over #i feel... dizzy

stuff like akam coffeeshop aus are impossible to make because rei would just dump coffee all over akai’s face “accidentally” but make it akai’s fault somehow and then convince the rest of the staff to ban him from the location so he can never come visit again

#xylia rambles incoherently #akai then shows up as okiya #wait. i've made something. this was a mistake i need to sleep SO BAD

okay i’m exhausted as fuck so i can’t get to the anon who messaged me today ;__; as recompense i will tell you about a ummmmmm *spins wheel* quirky magical school in an urban fantasy setting. rei’s power is psychometry and akai’s power is beating people up really good

rumasaca

#actually rei's powers would be more classic psychic like levitating objects and seeing glimpses of the future#(his physical abilities were something he trained for)#akai's ability has to do with angles and trigonometry and that's why he's so good at sniping#and also why he can figure out exactly where and which angle to punch someone from to knock em out#akai has a very unsexy ability. maybe i should go back to the drawing board on this

who would win: psychic with telekinesis and the occasional future sight or a dude who can look at a triangle and tell you what angles are sitting in there

#xylia rambles incoherently #the true superpower is that akai will NEVER miss his shot in bean bag throwing games #akai's superpower is just physics and trigonometry. i hate this. remove my account

we’re having akam withdrawals, please provide us with akam headcanons

SORRY I FUCKED THIS UP ANSWERIGN if you see this give me 2 hours and i'll have a real answer

anyways music major au, rei is a long suffering celloist and akai plays the trumpet, because of course he does

why cello and trumpet? well, trumpets have a huge reputation of being 1) arrogant and 2) incompetent, and akai toes the first category sometimes but only because he definitely doesn’t fit the second. rei is someone of a very similar but oft compared and contrasted category of music who deals mostly in harmonies and support but big secret: controlling the tenor/bass voice gives you a hell of a lot of power over the music and also cello solos are some of the most beautiful things ever

#xylia rambles incoherently #anyways this will never come to fruition in fic or even art so i'll just dash your nonexistent hopes now

ever wondered who you’d be in a shakespeare play? fear not, i made a shakespearean character generator!!!

(please put in the tags what you got, i’m curious)

#manipulative lord with a penchant for lechery #this is literally lyra but the last part is less 'lechery' and more 'muscle admiring'

*sheds tear as i delete most of the dc episodes and movies off my hard drive* i must accept that i will probably no longer make tumblr graphics except for movie 22 and stop hoarding this stuff already.............

#xylia rambles incoherently #i'd rather try taking up art and drawing instead #plus it just takes up way too much space on my comp #and my hand health :c #i'd still like to gif movie 22 though it's my FAV

i want to create an akam fic purely for me and readable only by me in which rei and akai work in cybersecurity (rei has a stronger cryptography background and no one knows akai’s past but rumor has it that professional poker was involved) and catch onto the scent of a large scale exploit possible in translation lookaside buffers, jockeying to make this public and find a patch while falling in love a tiny bit too

rumasaca

listen there’s no greater romance than arguing with the guy you like while jabbing your finger towards a hastily scribbled diagram with pids scribbled in the corner and a lot of dialogue about branch prediction while the designer in the next room over makes a cute little ghost mascot for your security vulnerability. also neither of you have slept in days

#xylia rambles incoherently #this is actually the best idea i've ever had #no i don't take constructive criticism

sometimes i'm like "i should post more brainless opinions about detco like math wizards akam or an au where everyone's an art major and rei is pissed at akai bc he won 1st at an art contest hiro was banking on by drawing cats yawning" but then i remember bnha and todoroki comes for my soul again

#akai points out a book called 'edible wildlife' in the bookstore and is like #'furuya kun look!! we can save so much on food'#then rei decks him in the face #xylia rambles incoherently #anyways sorry rei but i'll never love anyone as ferociously as todo #when he says 'for a single moment i forgot all about you' to his father #just xylia life things ig
