I haven’t watched/read/played The Witcher yet, but this is so deeply You™.

So mutuals if you could block this fuck so he doesn’t see pictures of me of any kind, I’d much appreciate it.

Name: Zealand / Setting: Spring Court

Zealand is one of Tamlin’s guard, and the only one who’s not high fae.  He’s a sylph, an air spirit, awarded this position for his courage and scouting ability.  He’s quick, emotional, and big-hearted.  He’s not daring so much as a bad planner with a strong sense of helping people.  He’s kind of an angel.

His hair is too long and fades off into invisibility, and even the opaque part of him is almost too light to see.  But you can catch his grins and the warm, inconvenient gusts he’ll send your way to show his affection.  He’s a dexterous warrior with the power of invisibility and some control over wind, and he’s a good friend to have.

Amren x Flynn: "Dance with me."

“Dance with me,” Flynn said, voice bright and bold like it was less an invitation and more a friendly challenge.

Amren’s eyes narrowed.  “You have to be joking.”

“Not at all.  Listen---this song is perfect.”

Amren would never agree with him out loud, but she did dance with him.

Thank you! This made me so happy. I couldn’t decide if it’s self-indulgent or not to continuously send these whenever you do them, but I always love hearing what you have to say. That said, “mysterious rapscallion of a delight” is by far one of my favorite phrases used to describe me and I’m keeping it forever.

You goose, whenever I make that post, it’s because I want to compliment and brag on my friends!  Send me one every time.

I can’t believe it took me this long to apply the word “rapscallion” to you.  It fits in every way.

Hey, what's up, hello~

Colbs!  You mysterious rapscallion of a delight.  You are a man of boundless enthusiasm and hidden depths.  Most of both those aspects, to the good fortune of all of us, are pointed at your incredible skill for fiction and your friends.  The time it takes to get to know you is 100% worth it.  You’re awesome~.

☾ ★ ☆ ☠ ♥ ♦ ☯▼☼ for Captain Phasma, please and thank you!

sleep headcanon

She takes naps in full armor sometimes, just so no one knows whether she’s awake.  At least, she did until she learned Kylo could sense whether she was conscious and punked her once while she was asleep.  Fortunately not in front of anyone.

sad headcanon

Deaths happen in war.  She notes them, is saddened by them.  It’s desertions she takes seriously, because she more strongly feels that she could have prevented it.

happy headcanon

List five troopers in her battalion that don’t have a huge if slightly terrified crush on her.  You can’t, can you?  No one can.

angry/violent headcanon

Any trooper worth their salt can tell when Phasma is angry.  Not by any one clue of stance or tone, but by basest instinct.  They just know whether she’s mad and if so they get out of the way.

family headcanon

If Phasma has surviving family, it’s not with the Order.  Or at the very least not with the military branch.  That’s her family now.

quirks/hobbies headcanon

She loves her some old blasters.  The Order has superior tech and no need for the old E-11s or, Force forbid, DC-15s, but she has a small collection of old standards like that and takes them down to the range when she has the time.

likes/dislikes headcanon

She dislikes laundry.  She doesn’t want to look at it.  She just wants to strip off her underarmor and have clean things to put on.

childhood headcanon

She wasn’t indoctrinated from youth the same way the troopers were, or even the same way Hux was.  There’s no one more enthusiastic than a convert.

appearance headcanon

She has a couple of scars—one on her leg and one on her side, both from blaster shots.

Hufflepuff Villains

Let’s talk about something the Hogwarts aesthetic posts and photosets don’t want to address.  Let’s talk about evil Hufflepuffs.

Hard work.  Loyalty.  Patience.  Hufflepuffs dedicate themselves to a cause, and then they work at it for as long as it takes.  They do not waver, and they do not stop.  They’re more than capable of teamwork.  In fact, they often do what they do for other people, either as a whole or for one individual---people they are willing to fight for and defend.  Pointed toward good causes, these traits can make an invaluable ally.

Pointed toward evil, they can make for a terrifying villain.

Perhaps the most important fact about Hufflepuff villains is that they believe what they are doing is right.  At the very least, they believe what they are doing is worth it, for the sake of whomever they’re acting for.  They don’t give up on their work because they so rarely do it for their own sake.  It’s not a matter of survival or ambition; it’s more important than that.

And because whatever villainy they’re up to isn’t linked to their personal pride, it frequently doesn’t involve any showmanship.  Hufflepuffs are okay with working in the background.  They take care of things.  While they might pay attention to what the heroes and others think of them, they don’t focus on it.  They focus on getting things done.

By the way, that means they have no problem working with or taking orders from others, if that turns out to be the most efficient way.  They make great leaders and great subordinates.

Hufflepuff villains get things done.  They can’t be made to turn against whoever they’re working for.  They can’t be made to slip in a moment of ego.  They can’t be made to give up.  Either you defeat a Hufflepuff villain outright, or you don’t.

That’s why Hufflepuffs make amazing villains.
