Been reading Angel mythology lately and drew this.

hey so we all know the fae folk are prone to kidnapping/imprisoning humans yada yada yada

what do they actually do with them though?

Okay but the way Beth just fucking LIGHTS up when she hears all her boys??? I could died a thousand deaths and nothing would be as perfect as her reaction to the support of her disfunctional family.

I had an epiphany

Jamie dyslexic, flappy hands, jumping up and down, i don't know I don't know I don't know, tiny shorts, comfortable clothing, hands in shirt/sleeves, dissociation depression anxiety, tongue thing, not picking up on social cues, can't sit "normally" (curled up on the bench, sitting on the floor, etc), explains his feelings in ways a lot of people think are funny or weird but are actually very accurate and the only way he knows how to describe them, needs to be constantly fidgeting and moving around chewing on hoodie string messing with his mom's pant leg, exaggerated facial expressions, sensory issues Tartt, my beloved

okay but what if it's exactly chris growing up that leads them to finally talk about the Will? because chris will want to be more independent and yeah eddie will have an existential crisis about it but buck will probably be worrying even more. because eddie is still his dad, but what's buck's role now? does he still have a place in chris' life? will they still need him, now that eddie is healing and is also trying to fix his relationship with his parents? is there still room for him? what if buck worries that the Will will eventually lose its meaning and its purpose because chris is growing up so fast and they'll no longer need him. what if they talk about it.

The more I think about it, Buck making not one but two jokes about jerking off when talking to Hen about becoming a sperm donor? The more it becomes one of the most casually heartbreaking Buck scenes we've ever witnessed.

The way Buck will use his body to deflect from the vast well of grief and pain that he cannot bear to feel. (And a clever writing choice to have Hen be drunk and also navigating her own crisis, because I bet a sober Hen would have clocked what was going on.)

That he didn't even allow himself to contemplate the ramifications — beyond jerking off in a cup — of giving away a part of himself. Because that's all he is, right? Just DNA, just body parts, just a body. Best he can hope is for his parts to be useful. He can be good at his job and he can take care of Chris if Eddie dies and he can use his body to help an old friend have a family, something Buck's heart desperately wants, but doesn't believe he'll ever get to have.

But he can't think about any of that. So it's just dick jokes. Fucking brutal, 911.

black clover headcannons

-Asta, Luck, Noelle, Yuno, Finral, The Wizard King, Charmy and Yami are all autistic, or on the spectrum

-Actually most if not all the charcters are neurodivergent in one or another

-Vanessa, Noelle and Finral are all bisexual

-Asta, Gauche are demisexual

-Grey was homeless before she ended up with the Black Bulls. 

-I also headcannon Grey as using She/They pronouns, Gordon and Magna use He/They pronouns

-After Gauche warms up to the other bulls he starts giving them gifts and being very protective of them, this is because now he has someone to care for other than his sister. (He doesn’t love his sister any less but he now has new people to add to the list of originally one name) 

-Vanessa and Finral went out their way to learn about Yami’s homeland so that he never forgot about his birth place, this included the language because Yami wasn’t the only person from his land to end up in Clover.

-The first time they spoke to Yami in his mother tongue, Yami may have cried a little but he totally corrected their pronunciation. 

-Charmy isn’t entirely human but none really knows what she is. 

-Gordon is the best at make-up and everyone goes to him for help. 

-Henry is the best at any type of table-top or card games. 

-Vanessa has a box filled with random items she picked up from all the places she got to see since leaving the Witches Forrest. 

-Finral taught himself to be ambidextrous to give him another hand to open portals. 

-Additionally, Finral likes jumping of tall buildings/trees only to open a portal as he falls, he says its for practice but he really just likes the adrenaline rush he get from it. 

-Luck can have non-verbal episodes and Magna taught him sign language so that they could still talk even if it was without words. 

-Noelle doesn’t know how to handle praise after going so long without it and when the other bulls figure this out they start complementing and praising the shit out of her

-All the Black Bulls are very touched starved and try to make up to it by being very touchy with each other

-Finral taught himself First Aid after he realised how much his squad mates get hurt

-Vanessa and Finral are 100% best friends who talk shit and platonically flirt with each other

-Henry joins in with this platonic flirting sometimes and its very sweet

-Henry and Asta are also very close because Asta doesn’t have any magic Henry can drain.

-Asta is one of the first people in a long time to hug Henry and it confused him to begin with but Henry very much enjoyed it

-Yami and Finral are the type of friends to bicker and mess with each other

-Charmy, Noelle and Yami are the best cooks 

-Noelle hates the cold because she associates it with her childhood home and the cold treatment she faced 

-Gordon makes dolls of his friends not to be creepy but to feel like they are always with him

-Yuno and Asta meet up all the time to spar and hang out. 

-Finral wanted to go visit Langris many times before they sorted everything out but didn’t think he was wanted and didn’t wanna ‘embarrass’ his brother
