Look It How Alive He Is In This!

Commission for the lovely @swtorpadawan 

Character Interaction: Vette

To Vette, Crodek is very off putting, because he he values her and treats her with more dignity then she’s accustomed too. While still being very much a Sith and dangerous killing machine. Sure Crodek is decent enough to her but he hasn’t truly freed her.

This man bargained with Vette for her freedom and did give it to her. Only when on his ship where it’s assured that she has no where else to go.

Crodek very much considers Vette his property, so in his mind he wants to grow her as much as possible. This gives him a vested interest in her well being. Which was part of the reason he removed the slave collar with the other reason being a demonstration how he keeps his word.

Vette understandably feels stifled by this behavior. So she holds her ground by using jokes and commentary to point out the holes in his logic. This aggressive sort of verbal grappling does actually end developing both of them into more competent and sure individuals.

This dynamic of those will continue to unfold and perhaps Crodek may grow enough to fully give Vette her freedom. At the moment it seems unlikely that Crodek will romance Vette as they’re busy enough as frenemies.

Pokemon headcanons: Names

These are my personal headcanons for the names of the protagonists and some of the rivals of the Pokémon games.

Kanto:

Red Akiyama

Blue Oak/Green Oak (canon)

Leaf Aoki

Johto:

Ethan Hibiki

Lyra Koto

Kristine "Kris" Mariner

Silver Rosso

Hoenn:

May Hayashi

Brendan Birch (I HC him as the rival character, meaning he's the professor's kid.)

Wally Tsuru

Sinnoh:

Dawn Yugata

Lucas Kagayaki

Barry Palmer (I HC that his dad Palmer goes by his last name.)

Unova:

Hilda and Hilbert Grayson

Cheren Kuroki-Petrov

Bianca Caro

Rosalind (Rosa) Whittaker

Nathanial "Nate" Blake

Kalos

Serena Fontaine

Calem Belmont

Alola

Elio Taiyo

Selene Yoru

Notes (mostly based on headcanons):

I HC Hilda and Hilbert to be twins, so they have the same surname.

Cheren is part Sinnohan (so the Pokemon world's equivalent of part-Japanese) and part "whatever the Pokemon equivalent of Bulgarian is."

Ethan and Lyra's surnames in my headcanons come from their canon names in Japanese (Hibiki and Kotone.)

Elio and Selene are originally from the Kanto region before moving to Alola. Their surnames mean "sun" and "night" respectively.

Nate's surname comes from the English name of his manga counterpart.

Transformers Hound Headcannons

His Awe

Hound is blown away by the small things in life like how molecules make metal he appreciates how delicate their structures have to for life to just work. To him the fact this can echo from molecular level up the levels of an ecosystem. He never gets tired of how miraculous it is that things just work and that work well enough for things to just keep living.

Hound carries this awe with him as an insatiable curiosity. He can see the miracle in things working! Enough to listen appreciatively has Prowl ranting about strategy, Wheeljack gushing about what could work, and Mirage literature takes. All of these things are genuinely incredible to Hound.

He always wants whoever he talking to tell him more about ever it is their going on about. As a result of being a very engaged listener he has a lot friends amount the Ark crew. Even with difficult bots like Cliffjumper and Mirage. Hounds ability to always talk to people can be annoying since he has held two separate conversations at the same time before. To the irritation the two bots trying to talk to him.

This curiosity is what drives him. Drives Hound to explore, to make friends, and to lay on his stomach in the mud to watch the fish doing their thing for hours at a time. This curiosity and constant learning that goes with it is part of where is his reigned tracking skills come from.

His cause

It is this constant amazement that life just lives, that Hound fights for during the war. This is cause he chooses to risk his life for, this is what he comforts himself with on nights where even the stars are dark.

This part of his being is why Hound treasures Earth. There is so much living in the earth from the people to the worms beneath their feet. It just blows Hounds mind. Because it’s so beautiful, and so preciously balanced it’s…every Cybertron isn’t. Was but is no longer. So Hound will treasure and record as much of Earth’s life as possible.

He’d treat a weed he dug up like it’s sacred. While carefully photographing and documenting it, for his holograms. Then he’d gently replant it before going to the Ark to reconnect and share.

Authors note: I just think there could be this beauty to Hound so now you all get to have it too.

I just accidentally started as relationship with Felix. Like I not mad about, just surprised. Like man over here chatting to Elvira and she knows somethings up, but being Jedi doesn’t have that much experience with romance. So she does not realize he’s into her. What she does sense is that he’s hiding something, so naturally she wants the truth from him, and it comes out and then boom! He kisses her.

After this I think Elvira probably went to her cabin and just sat on the end of bed just, shook. Like, oh that happened.

I genuinely didn’t think Elvira would romance anybody during this play through because of how closely she follows the Jedi code. But this happened and it could work, Felix is sweet dude and he offered her something precious that Elvira wants to honor. So yeah it’ll be interesting to see how they feel their way through this budding relationship.

*Holds up like a proud parent,* -This is my boy,, this one is mine-,, you may have seen him running around over here,, don’t mind him- he’s on break <33

His name is Zephyr ✨- [and this is the most solid reference I’ve got of him,, see inconsistent references below <33]

And now??? Introducing a passionate rant about the big brother esc goofball no one has seen yet

[passionate rant below cut]

Essentially, what I’ve got going so far is Zephyr used to be a renowned competitive racer before the war back on Cybertron, he lived for the tracks and often received citations for speed racing through civilian streets. That was until his street friend caught wind of a race academy located somewhere near Iacon where they could both learn how to compete professionally

They both entered and on their first official race someone ended up wiping out, bad, so Zeph dropped back to help em out and they gained a third friend that day

As a young upstart Zephyr began gaining some crazy popularity, blissfully [intentionally??] ignorant of the state of the government. [kinda the same mentality as the phrase, “If I can’t see it? Then it doesn’t exist ✨”]. That is, until one day he wiped out on the track, even worse than was considered possible at the time, and he got sent into a coma before the war officially started.

During his time in stasis, Zeph’s friends had a huge argument about the morality of the war and ended up choosing different sides of the fight before they could reconcile. Only one of them openly appeared to hold onto the hope that Zephyr was going to recover [though they both secretly visited after their fight anyways] His first friend later decided that the hospital, the stasis that would never end, the loss of both his friends, was too much for him and he effectively ejected Zephyr from the hospital as an act of mercy, so fate might deal with him as it pleased.

Zephyr woke up from stasis years later after the pod he was being housed in got blown up and some dormant fear based adrenaline kicked in.

What began as a blissfully ignorant coping skill, after running into some friendly [neutral] wanderers, Zeph continued his race training,, determined to compete the second the war essentially “fixed itself” [even tho his engines haven’t been running quite right ever since his wake from stasis] but over time, he trained less and less as the inpermanence of his dream began to set in

He had some misadventures and those lead me to where he is now,, stuck in a war, no idea what’s going on, trying to find his two original friends, both of whom he doesn’t know hate each other 😌🫶

[and once he does- he founds a secret faction, dedicated to drawing neutral territory between bots and cons after he got his friends back together/ and everything was good for a bit until one very bad day, his faction got exposed and practically everyone he had instilled hope into got ripped to shreds- [including one of his friends[they died]]]

He wanders around kinda aimlessly nowadays as a husk of who he once wanted to be. His only friend rejoined the Autobots. -And he gave up any hope for peace ever :D👍

… until-

I made a little thing today.
