A Timber Wolf and her prey

No, it’s not Kimiko. It’s the food in Kimiko’s basket.

Hello my name is Sunbird and I’m shipping my OC Timber with Patrick Bailey now.

[sunbird-tells-stories]

Some concepts I want to write about in the MW!-verse:

-Jack going over to Jermaine’s house to meet his family for the first time

-Jack and Jermaine going to prom together and it turning out to be an absolute disaster, so they bail and hang out in NYC together for the entire night, and they kiss as the sun rises.

-Jack helping Jermaine learn new martial arts moves by figuring out the physics of each move so Jermaine can improve his technique.

-Jermaine collecting random junk he finds at thrift stores and taking them back to Jack so his bf can strip them for parts.

-Timber finally getting the therapy she needs for her survivor’s guilt, untreated PTSD and BPD.

-Clay getting therapy for his PTSD

-And he and Timber bonding over it

-Clay and Timber bonding over their rough relationships with their siblings and the rocky home life they’ve had to grow up in.

-Clay and Timber bonding over being nerds, since Timber is into botany and Clay is into animal taxonomy.

-Clay and Timber bonding over the struggles of being unfairly stereotyped as bumpkins just because they grew up in small towns and have “funny accents”

-Clay being reminded of his sister through Timber and calling her Jessie at least once

-Clay and Timber being so supportive to each other that they’re siblings in everything but blood.

-Jack and Omi acting like brothers

-Jack and Rai being rivals/frienemies

-Jack being valued for his tech skills

-Jack and Kimiko bonding over their tech skills and building a genuine friendship based on mutual respect

-Jack finally earning Kimiko’s forgiveness for what he did to her dad and Jack taking it even further by helping Mr. Tohomiko our whenever possible.

- Timber getting a crush on Kimiko

-Timber getting a crush on Kimiko

-TIMBER GETTING A CRUSH ON KIMIKO

-And a mini arc where Rai and Timber become rivals because they’re both crushing on the same girl 👀

- Rai and Timber literally fighting over her at one point, wearing themselves out to the point they can’t even move, and then lying next to each other and looking up at the sky as they talk it out.

-Them making up and promising that no matter who wins her heart, they’ll always be teammates and they’ll always be friends

-Rai and Timber being close friends because Rai knows what it’s like to think you’re not good enough and betray your friends out of that fear.

-Timber looking up to Rai as a role model after she hears about his past.

-Rai and Timber pranking Jack at least once a day.

-Jermaine and Omi living together in the same temple and hanging out 24/7

-Omi helping Jermaine figure out his powers (won’t say what element yet tho)

-Jermaine and Omi growing up to be two of the best martial artists in the world together

-Omi and Timber geeking out over all the new places they see In the world, and Omi hanging onto every word as Timber spouts off facts about cultural sites and historic locations.

-Omi dragging Timber out of bed every morning for some early drills and helping her get to everyone else’s level when it comes to martial arts

-Timber and Kimiko being soft together late at night, with Kimiko braiding Timber’s hair as Timber listens to her talk about her life in Japan. Platonic or romantic, it doesn’t matter - these two girls are soft and sweet to each other no matter what. And I like that dynamic.

-Shadow crushing on Timber

- Shadow crushing on Timber HARD

-Shadow crushing on Timber HARD but she’s Shadow so she’ll never admit it to anyone

-Shadow seeing Timber and Kimiko getting closer and being MAJORLY jealous and doing whatever she can to sabotage dates and outings between the two.

-A big dumb arc where Shadow creates the ‘Willow’ persona just to catch Timber’s eye and it works and Timber starts to fall in love with the girl who has tried to kill her multiple times in the past without even realizing it.

-Shadow slowly dying on the inside because not only has she caught feelings but the girl she likes doesn’t even like HER, just an idealized version of her.

-Timber finding out in a situation where Shadow has no choice but to reveal herself and Shadow bailing in shame.

-Timber tracking her down so they can talk. And for once Shadow lets herself be vulnerable and tells Timber how she feels.

-The two actually managing to work something out and maybe even holding down a healthy relationship despite Timber being a Xiaolin Dragon and Shadow being an agent of chaos.

-Flash forward to the future and the two are married with a daughter named Venus, who looks just like Timber, but has Shadow’s reptilian eyes. And Timber and Shadow are genuinely good parents and are genuinely happy and good for each other, despite the fact they’re still on opposite sides of the Heylin and Xiaolin.

-Wuya hating the fact that her daughter married the Xiaolin Dragon she was supposed to take out years before, but being fond/tolerant of her granddaughter.

-Chase staying out of his daughter’s affairs but also being fond of his granddaughter.

-Jack and Jermaine becoming dads to twins named Jake and Jasmine.

-Clay being a single dad and having a son named Colton. I don’t know who he’d marry but I do know he has a kid and that kid’s name is Colt and they’re an adorable Father/Son duo.

-Omi becoming a dad to an orphaned kid he ran into during his travels. To multiple kids he’s run into during his travels. To all the kids his friends have. And loving and caring for each and every one of them.

-Omi meeting a young man named Boris and finding the only blood relative he has left and building a great relationship with him. And the two grow old together with a deep, unshakable bond.

-The Xiaolin Dragons growing up

-The Xiaolin Dragons finding happiness together

Random Thoughts

the worst thing about writing a fic and having a character so inherently tied to that fic is that, no matter how many head canons I make, nothing is set in stone until I get it on the page. so all these speculations about who Timber will fall in love with or how her future will turn out after the events of MW! - it’s all just speculation until I write the damn thing out.

with that said....I used to ship Timber x Katnappe low-key in the past because I thought it was a cute ship. But even though I don’t really see as much romantic potential in them anymore, I do like to think of what dynamic they would have, and I imagine it to be both very challenging and very positive, in a weird way? Like, Timber is someone who is defined by her devotion, specifically by. her devotion to other people. Ashley is, for better or for worse, a person with no loyalties to any outside influences whatsoever. She does what she wants, when she wants, with who she wants. While Timber aligns herself alongside the people she deeply cares about, everything in Ashley’s life is always on her own terms. on top of that, Ashley is the type of person who rob an art museum blind. Timber, for all her rough spots and flaws, still has that optimism and love for the arts that would cause her to be horrified at such a thing.  take that, and compare it to their respective cat/wolf motifs, Ashley’s fixation on luxury vs Timber’s fixation on basic necessities (especially food), Ashley’s materialism vs Timber’s love for nature, and you’ve got two people with wildly different personalities and values. you’d expect for them to hate each other. and for the most part, I feel like they give each other a hard time on sight, right? but like, I also see Ashley being kind of a positive influence on Timber? Timber’s whole arc stems from a lot fo complicated interrelating factors, but one of the issues she has is putting all her faith and loyalty into someone who does not have her best interests in mind. Ashley could see someone like that coming from a mile away - it’s why she wasn’t naive enough to fall for Wuya’s offer to rule the world alongside her. As flawed as she is, Ashley knew better than to go gallivanting off with a Heylin witch and stayed in her lane, hitting up stores to rob and screwing around at amusement parts. Because that’s what made HER happy. 

HER happiness took priority, no one else’s.

Timber...accommodates herself for other people. Well, actually, just one person in particular. But it’s quite the intense relationship and it’s an endless uphill battle of take and give, with Timber giving up a little bit more of herself each and every day. Ashley’s not the charitable type - and all in all, is VERY self serving - but I think even SHE wouldn’t stand by and say nothing while seeing such a toxic relationship unfold, especially if it involved another girl close to her own age. Who knows if she’d actually intervene or put a stop to it? But, like, standing by and going along with it? That doesn’t fit her personality. At least, not tome.

 I feel like Timber having someone in her life with Ashley’s “fuck everybody else, I do what I want” attitude, especially someone who actually supported her, would be very beneficial for her in the long run. And I kind of like the idea that, even though they clash so much, even though they’d constantly argue, and have wildly differing values and personalities, Ashley would still form just enough of an attachment to Timber to look out for her once everything is said and done. Whether Ashley would be the type to openly SHOW that affection or find something in Timber that she likes, or take any positive influence from Timber at all, or even just hang out with her like a normal friend, is a mystery in and of itself. I can’t really pin Ashley down, even while writing a hypothetical that probably none of y’all will read. But, either way, I think the two girls would be really cute as friends. And maybe more.

One of the things I think about a lot is what would happen once Rai, Jack and Timber all hung out and did something together. They’re all such troublemakers, I don’t think the world could handle it.

Doing some concept sketches for the MW! Cast!

Right now I just got Timber and Shadow

[sunbird-tells-stories]

Timber: Describe your ideal man.

Jack: He’s dark and kind of mysterious, and he can sing. And he plays the organ.

Jermaine: I think you just described The Phantom of the Opera.

Jack: (dreamily) Yeah...
