Thinking about the 141 with a Dog Hybrid! Reader who's unruly, who's quick to growl and puff up over things they don't like, who plays their part beautifully on the field but the moment they're out of combat, its like they're back to being strangers

Dog Hybrid! Reader who tucks away into corners, never cowering but quiet, cautious, wary gaze tracking anyone who moves just a bit too quick or laughs a bit too loud, but they don't think much of it- Ghost's the same way after all. You still have their backs in the field, you still swap banter over comms, you still join them for meals in the mess hall

They don't see it coming, honestly, but Simon doesn't blame you one bit for it.

On your way back from training, trailing after your Lieutenant, you're still wound up, recent recruits too loud and too rowdy where they walk along with the two of you. Ghost can see the way your jaw shifts, tongue no doubt nervously tracing your teeth, ears ramrod straight and tail stiff where it bobbed with each step. He could see the fur bristled slightly, just enough to stick up, and he thought he saw it coming when a recruit got a bit too close while roughhousing, knocked into you, made you bark sharply and snap your teeth, wanting the rookie out Out Out of your space, Now

Ghost, without thinking twice, reached out and clamped his hand around the back of your neck, attempting to scruff you

You whipped around faster than he could blink, white hot pain racing up his arm as your teeth sank into his wrist, blood dripping out between your fangs and down to the linoleum floors

He grunted in reflex to the deep ache, your gaze cleared- you released his arm in a flash, his blood smeared around your mouth

The hall had gone dead silent, the recruits stunned into shock, and Simon stared at the bite wound on his arm before turning his gaze to you, who shrank away. "Kid, wh-" He tried to question, but a full-body flinch stopped him in his tracks, and he could only stand and watch as you muttered an apology and bolted away, fur standing on end and ears pressed against your head.

Later, in medical, the bite thoroughly cleaned and bandaged, he vehemently denies any insinuation that you could've meant to hurt him

He'd seen your eyes, just before they'd cleared and you realised the taste of iron in your mouth wasn't imagination- blank, unseeing, animalistic, terrified

Simon didn't know what your life before the 141 was like, but he felt like it was time they put their heads together and put effort into actually Knowing you

I'm tired of the Virtual Singers being the only ones who change from world to world. We barely know how Sekai actually work or how the kids magically teleport there. For all we know they could all be holograms upon entering the virtual world.

Let's get creative about it!

Imagine that upon entering Sekai the characters' bodies shift to fit in the world better, much like the virtual singers.

Imagine that, upon entering Wonderland Sekai, Tsukasa isn't only baffled by the presence of Hatsune Miku and talking plushies, but that he too has acquired some plushie-like stitches. Imagine that upon inviting Rui onto his stage, he actually begins to glow like a real star, no longer an illusion.

Imagine Mafuyu watching over the strings attached to her body like a marionette, only ever visible in this world, origin known a little too well. Soon enough Miku and other virtual singers join her, the Kagamines gingerly playing with the strings. She ignores them, the presence makes her ice grow warmer.

Imagine Kohane, mesmerized, looking upon the graffiti-like markings painted all over her, glowing vividly even through the darkest nights. Each song, each victory, creates a newer composition. All her teammates have similar ones, all resembling Vivid Street's own graffiti. After all, aren't they one and the same with the street that shaped them?

Imagine Minori vehemently retelling Miku how the little wings behind her back made her jump higher than usual during today's practice, how they grow bigger and bigger each time More More Jump reaches another person. Miku listens intently.

Imagine Ichika slowly guiding her friends' hands while they trace the blue constellations staining her back, scars of heartbreaks and whatnot, lessons learnt the hard way. They decide to show theirs too, all radiant colours of the night sky and ever-glowling stars. They hold each other close. They all know better now.

Small doodle of Terra and Aqua, as well as some whump Terra & Aqua headcanons underneath…

I wonder in the future when the Terra and Aqua are going into their later years, will getting white hairs give Terra and Aqua PTSD flashbacks?

The time she spent under the effects of Darkness was small, but I suspect she had some inkling of what she looked like as Anti-Aqua. We know that she took Master Eraqus words on Darkness very seriously, so I think she’d be quite embarrassed and mortified by it. I can only hope that in her later years, she’s made peace with that ideology. But when the white hairs start coming in, she starts to nightmares about transforming back into Anti Aqua. Thus, she ends up throwing herself into training to distract herself.

Meanwhile, Terra gets the worst of it. The guy spent 10 years under the control of Xehanort, so he has a lot more to unpack with his trauma. Much like an old wound, the deep aching fear of Xehanort coming back and taking his body again haunts him for years. Some days are good, some are bad.

When the white hairs come, he starts to have panic attacks and those nightmares. Those would get really bad if he starts losing hair. He could be found shaking after waking up from a nightmare and even screaming. It’s not a fun time for either with them…

I doubt that Nomura and the KH team would actually go this way with characterisation (let alone write about so far into the future), but it’s interesting to think about

I wish I didn't have wildly conflicting mental health needs. Like I need sunlight for The Happy - but watch out! The Migraine.

Night at the Museum scratches my brain the same way that Hetalia does and I feel like there's something there that can be explored. Like, a regular mortal as a museum where all the reps are from those old paintings or cartoons where they're representing their nations?? I dunno, Night at the Museum slaps and is a fun little premise.
