Of course, my lovely! Thank you so much for the ask and I hope you’ll enjoy the headcanons! As always, smut will be under the cut 😊

Jay feels the most himself around any body of water. It could be sitting and relaxing beside a creek or river, out on a lake, but he especially loves the ocean. There’s something about the sound of the waves coming in, the scent in the air, the feel of sand hard beneath his feet that just makes Jay feel, even for a moment, that everything is right in the world.

Jay tends to be an overthinker in all spheres. He overthinks his responsibilities, his decisions, and because of this, he can sometimes hesitate or be vague on purpose, just because he’s not ready to share his thoughts, feelings, or intentions until he’s very sure of them. He overthinks what other people meant by their words and actions. A lot of the overthinking does come from doubt, of course. While Jay is pretty confident, some of that confidence is definitely a front, a façade he puts on because he thinks it’s what is expected and needed from him.

When it comes to relationships, Jay can be a little old-fashioned in a lot of ways. He does have a rather antiquated thought process when it comes to things like who should plan the dates, who should ask who out, who should pay on dates (all him, as the man in the relationship). He can lean in, a little too hard at times, into the idea of having to ‘win’ his partner’s affection, especially in the beginning phases of a relationship. He takes every single opportunity to impress the person he’s crushing on, to show them why he’s the best choice for them, and when the person he likes doesn’t give him those opportunities, he does feel like something might be a little bit missing.

I do think that one of Jay’s major love languages isn’t even one that’s listed in the whole book. His love language? Advice and protectiveness. Once Jay is infatuated with someone or once he’s in a relationship with someone, his already protective side kicks up several dozen notches. It goes into hyper-overdrive. It can actually be a little annoying to his partner, especially if they’re really independent. He’s always going to worry about them, but Jay can take it a step further and be almost overbearing in telling them what they should and shouldn’t do. It will cause at least one or two fights in the relationship, that’s for sure.

New ref sheet for Midas! They’re now in their 60′s.  I find the concept of Cronus and Midas bickering funnier when they’re both old TIMErs.

Class of the Titans fanart!

YouTube reccomendations showed me this show and it's absolutely ridiculous (and fun)! The writing and animation is Dino Squad quality but that's what makes it so great! I also learned a lot about greek mythology too!

Basically the show is about decendants of greek heroes fighting evil and also hanging out at greek myth school too I guess.

Neil (the blonde one) is my favorite! He's the only one not related to a hero - hes related to Narcissus (hence the self obsession)

Jay doesn’t do cursive writing often. It’s something he does know how to do, but 90% of the time, he’s printing everything. He really only uses cursive if it’s required or if he’s signing his name. His cursive slants to the left. The letters are large but tightly packed together. The loops aren’t really at all visible. His printing is a lot tidier and he’s really kind of proud of how neat his printing is. Again, the letters are on the larger side. He never forgets to cross his t’s or dot his I’s. It’s pretty picture-perfect printing, like something you’d see in an old workbook. The most notable feature is that his w’s, m’s, and n’s are on the sharp side, pointy instead of rounded. In my head, it looks like a large version of Raline.

Theresa uses cursive almost all the time, not only because she was taught it from an early age but because she genuinely likes the way it looks. She’s even learned calligraphy just because she wanted to find ways to make her writing look even prettier. Her cursive leans on the fancier looking side of things. It resembles a lot of the handwriting fonts you’d find online and just ooh and ahh over how pretty it looks. She puts a lot of extra’s into her writing, just to make it look as pretty as possible, and it’s very looping and graceful in its letter. To me, it looks a lot like Gista Danes.

Archie’s handwriting is a mixture between printing and cursive, leaning a lot heavier towards the printing. It’s not because he particularly thinks his printing looks better or anything but because when he writes, it’s normally hurried. He writes like he’s running out of time, like death is right at his heels and he’s only got seconds to get all the thoughts and ideas in his head out or only has seconds to convey some bit of information. Because of this, his writing tends to be scrawling. He’s light in his strokes so some of his letters are more bold than others and not all of his letters close up properly, plus he has a bad tendency to not properly cross his t’s all the time and the I’s are always missing dots. In my head, his writing looks a lot like Biro Script Sloppy.

Atlanta truly does mix up cursive and printing all into one. Unlike Archie, it’s a true mixture, where she uses elements of both styles at the same time. A lot of her individual letters resemble more printing, but she strings them all together in a way that most closely resembles cursive writing. On top of that, specific letter, like those with tails, are loopy and more closely resemble the cursive versions, just because she likes the way those look more. To me, her writing looks kind of like September Spirit.

Neil’s handwriting is just as bold as he is. It truly fits his character and he makes sure it stands out just as much as he does. He’s practiced his autograph a million and one times and because he fears anyone judging his writing style or accusing him of being sloppy, he’s taken pains to learn to write legibly and in a way that he thinks looks snazzy. A lot of his letters are kind of sharp…it’s the best way I can think of to describe it. They don’t loop either at all or very little. His w’s and m’s have pointy tops and bottoms, his t’s have very little lines and the lines tend to slope down. He’s really heavy on his writing utensil, making sure to leave deep impressions on the paper. To me, his writing most closely resembles Duffy Script Demi-Bold.

Herry prefers writing with pencil rather than pen. It’s easier to erase mistakes that way. His handwriting is a little messy and the letters are unevenly spaced. Some are close to each other while others, especially vowels, tend to be spaced a little bit away from the others. His i’s have big bold tops and his letters are often fully closed on things like o’s. He accidentally often presses harder than he needs to when writing, so the letters leave deep impressions on the page and are rather bold. To me, his writing most closely resembles Conte Script Plus Bold.

Orange: Six facts about my hometown

So, with Class of the Titans being set in Canada, and being Canadian myself, it was kind of really fun for me, figuring out which provinces and cities I think all of them really are from. I do think Jay is from Vancouver. That’s his hometown, where he was born and he really always kind of assumed he would live there all of his life. Sure, he did want to travel, but he loves his city and couldn’t think of too many other places he’d ever want to settle down.

Jay definitely competes in the Polar Bear Race Series every year. He is part of a Sailing Club and he’s known as being the best with newbie sailors, with his patience and natural leadership.

Jay’s really athletic and he likes going up around the Howesound Crest Trail to hike and camp, especially with his dad. His dad was the one to introduce him to the trail, taking him on his fourteenth birthday when both his parents agreed that Jay was likely able to now handle the difficulty of the trail.

Jay’s mother has always made sure to introduce him to the arts and different parts of culture as well. That’s something she always made sure that he knows is important, and he enjoys his time out with her, especially Art Battle nights and Culture Crawl in the late fall.

I definitely think Jay is a member at Science World. He’s definitely used it as a first date spot…that almost never leads to a second date, honestly, but if they don’t like Science World, obviously they’re not going to be right one for Jay!

“This invitation says I have to wear a dress/tuxedo. This is stupid!”

Jay

Jay has absolutely no problems with the fact that he’ll have to wear a suit to prom. He knew that when he decided that he wanted to go to prom. It only makes sense for formal dress to be required and he was prepared for that when he asked his date to the prom, when he bought the tickets, etc. In fact, in Jay’s opinion, it’s kind of nice to get a chance to dress up all fancy and live it up with your friends for one last night before graduation happens and everyone scatters to wherever they’re heading for the next chapter of their life.

Jay doesn’t really put a super lot of thought into what he’s going to wear to prom. He knows right away that it’s going to have to be a tux, just because there’s not near as many options for formal menswear as there is for women’s prom outfits. He rents his tux, as he has no reason to own one and that’s a hefty splurge to buy one outright.

Jay does prefer a preppier, more classic style and that factors into the tuxedo he eventually decides to rent. It’s very traditional, right down to the black bowtie and he makes sure it’s well-fit to his body. He’ll have tried on more than a handful of suits and tux’s before deciding on something like the below picture.

Theresa

Theresa is absolutely beyond excited for prom. Not only is she head of the prom committee, but she’s been thinking about what she’d wear for prom since about grade 10. Like most teenagers, she really doesn’t get the opportunity to dress up like some princess and dance with a cute boy and have a huge party with her friends. Her father had tried to get her to do a debutante ball, but her friends wouldn’t have been allowed and she really wasn’t into that kind of thing, so prom is her only chance to have that big moment, as far as she’s concerned.

Theresa is definitely putting a lot of work into finding the perfect dress. She has so many options and she never could iron out exactly what kind of style of dress she wanted. A large part of her really wants that princess style ball-gown, with the big fluffy skirt, but she also really likes the look of a mermaid gown. She knows she wants something full length and nothing too low-cut. Other than that, she isn’t sure what style or colour she wants. Black and white are too overused, so she does want something with some colour or maybe some sparkle, something to stand out. She goes to a lot of different stores and tries on probably over 40 dresses before she settles on her final choice. In a slight moment of really taking advantage of her privilege, cost was never an issue or something that entered her mind while prom shopping and she also really splurges on hair and makeup for the big night.

She definitely ends up wearing something with a fuller, fluffier skirt. I think that was non-negotiable for Theresa at the end of it. However, I think her initial thoughts of what she wanted wasn’t actually what she wanted. She ended up being really attracted to the two-piece sets, with a crop top and a long skirt. It was unique enough that she didn’t feel like all the others would be wearing it, and she found one that she felt set off her colouring and suited her body the best. She feels like a million dollars in it, and at the end of the night, that’s all that matters. She’d be wearing something like the picture below.

Archie

Archie isn’t the most comfortable in fancy clothing. If it was up to him, everyone could just wear whatever they wanted to prom, especially since he considers it kind of biased against those who don’t have a lot of extra income to spend on things like tuxes and suits. However, he knows that nothing he says, or how loud he complains, is going to change decades of tradition, though he does try. He sucks it up and does decide to rent a suit.

Despite how against formal wear Archie is, he does actually put a lot of thought into what he’s going to wear to prom. He is the one of the few who thinks to ask his date what they’re going to wear before he actually goes shopping for suits, to find out if they want him to keep to any colour scheme or anything. Any hints makes it easier for him to figure out what to wear. With their opinions, he kind of has a vision of what to get. He prefers a suit over a more formal tux, and he’d prefer something a little bit different from what everyone else will be wearing. Blending into the crowd of guys stuffed into penguin suits sounds like no fun to Archie, and he definitely puts a lot more consideration into suits that are patterned, are different colours than black, or have small unique details.

I think in the end, he settles for a well-fitting suit in a non-traditional colour, like the picture below. It suits him really well actually, and he does think he looks really cool in it. He also makes sure to get his hair dyed the day before prom, so that any roots are covered and his hair is nice and vivid in the prom photos.

Atlanta

Plain out and out, Atlanta really wants to go to prom and have fun with her friends, but she really is the type who just doesn’t feel comfortable in a dress. She can’t move as well in it; she doesn’t feel like she can dance at all in a dress and heels, and it just makes no sense to her that she should have to make herself unhappy and uncomfortable for that long just because ‘that’s the way it’s always been’. She definitely petitions the prom committee for women to have the right to wear suits or pant outfits that fit the formal requirements.

Once she has gained that permission, Atlanta actually enjoys going prom shopping with Theresa, though she does get really tired after about the fifth store that Theresa drags her too. She found exactly what she wanted at that fifth store, so she didn’t see any point of going to a bunch more stores, though she humors her friend and doesn’t complain…too much, at least.

Atlanta rocks the suit look for women. Because she’s naturally very drawn to nature inspired tones, she picks a suit in a non-traditional colour, something in a dark green or a jewel tone. I could really picture her in something like the below picture.

Herry

Herry really doesn’t care all that much about what he’s wearing to prom. He’s just super-hyped about the whole thing. He and the whole group are planning on going to this restaurant he’s been wanting to try since forever to eat before prom, along with their dates and he’s really looking forward to that, to going and having fun with everyone at the dance, and then heading to Neil’s after-party. He knows Neil enough to know it’s going to be a weird and wild event and overall, having to squeeze his huge body into a formal suit for the chance to do all this? It’s nothing he can’t handle.

Herry actually does pay attention to the dress code for the prom and, after several students do complain, the requirements for attire are a little less strict than previous years, which actually cheers him up immensely. He’d been having a really hard time finding a button-down suit and a tie to fit his frame, so he leans a little more on the casual side.

He definitely still wears a proper suit. It’s actually an old one of his grandfather’s that Herry gets tailored to fit him better and to update it a little. But because it’s allowed, he personalizes the look a bit more to him by wearing a dark t-shirt under the suit instead of a button-down and tie. He chooses his accessories carefully and does spend quite a bit more time than he normally does on his hair. I imagine him heading to prom in something like the below picture!

Odie

Odie really isn’t much into the idea of a suit and tie. He wants to go to prom, but there was a time when he was considering skipping it, just to avoid the whole tuxedo ordeal. He’s small and slight of frame and finding a full out tuxedo to fit him is no easy task, and that’s not even going into how uncomfortable he is.

It’s not until the requirements for prom attire come out that Odie decides there just might be hope in him being able to attend prom. He does a lot of thrift store shopping and rummages through hand-me-downs from older family members. He wants something that feels true to who he is and shows his own personal sense of style, so he has a real specific look in mind. He does eventually find something.

I think he goes with the latest trend of tucking a casual hoodie under a blazer and dress pants, for a look that’s both relaxed and comfortable but also formal. He goes and has his hair done up professionally for the prom and he’s minimal but tasteful for his accessory choices. I could see him rocking something like the below picture!

Neil

Oh, but fashion, dressing up, carefully choosing outfits, and getting a chance to play with all that? That is so up Neil’s alley that it’s not even funny! He actually looks forward to choosing his look for prom just the tiniest bit more than he’s looking forward to the prom itself and he’s looking forward to that almost more than his body can withstand. Neil is definitely the person who is planning not only his outfit but also his date’s outfit, because they can’t clash with him. Their outfits have to compliment each other, not distract, or battle against them.

Neil likes to play with fashion rules, and he definitely keeps up on trends. He’d want something new and trendy, while also showing off his fantastic figure. He wears clothes so well. He’d want to still remain formal, but also wants something that has a bit of an edge to it, something a little bit more memorable than just a boring tux. It’s also really important to Neil though that the outfit photograph extremely well.

Neil figures out that you can never go wrong with just basic black. He plays up the ‘bad boy rebel’ style and image in his choice of what to wear and ends up with an all-black ensemble like the one below. I feel he’s actually really smart in the accessories he chooses – a pair of small stud earrings in his left ear and a classy looking, expensive watch.
