Below is the bundle of headcanon question and answers!!
-
Who cleans the most? Contrary to that, who is the messiest?
Thermite had been a messy boy who hoards a lot of electronics and other books related to his work, but he decided to put everything in his study room because any other place around the house was supposed to be their sanctuary for relaxation (and he didn’t want to have Aruni clean up his stuff - one being that she is also busy with her work, and two being that he knows how scary she becomes when she’s mad.) Aruni likes to keep her environment clean, so she always keeps herself busy and gets Thermite to look after their house together.
yall i havent been active in some time im sorrY- also neon dawn is cool >:) btw shoutout to the cool gamer girls i meed occasionally on r6 that are thenicest people :) if u see someone on xbox randomly complementing ur gt or pfp its likely me?? especially if its mha related lol ALSO GIB SPACE WIFE MORE LOVE OR ILL COME OR ILL GIVE U STICK DRIFT CONSOLE PLAYERS OR UR KEYS WILL GET STUCK >:)B E W A R E –
-idc how old this woman is, she strikes me as the kind to love stuffed animals.
-also goldfish crackers (anyone know goldfish crackers by gold revere?)
-on that note, i strongly believe she and mozzie share snacks from their respective countries. nienke prefers her own, but max doesnt mind :) hes happy to have someone to share snacks with ( @quotes-of-r6)
-now on the topic of max, i strongly believe max has convinced her to join some short people club. dw, same nienke. same.
-she actually doesnt get annoyed by the constant short jokes. if anything, she adds to them, but if she knows its bothering one of her peers (ying possibly) shell make sure it wont continue
-i personally think she has star charts and all sorts of stuff on her dorm walls. all kinds of models lying around. rocket and planet models, really. but shes most fascinated with the moon. its pretty :)
-from her trip on the moon, i think she carries some moon rocks (whatever theyre calleD) in a pocket of her vest. for luck, she says, but its because she misses what she considers home.
-on that note (i keep doing things like this asdfgjkl) shes honestly felt a bit… disconnected from earth i suppose? its like being homesick for somewhere you werent born really. she misses the moon, even if the trip was short. i think she felt at home.
-in general, i think shes kind of dreamy, while also down to earth. shes smart, and whatnot, as mentioned in her meeting with harry, but i think shes a daydreamer. i can see her thinking about her next trip to the moon and such.
-though i think as a kid, she struggled with self confidence, i think since rainbow shes grown to become more confident. theres people of all sorts! and not just their countries making them diverse. aruni with her prosthetics, nomad with her missing fingers, thermite with his burn scars, capitao with his blind eye (or missing i forget)
-k but you cant tell me shes notat least a littlechaotic. i feel like she and jordan would blow stuff up sometimes, or pick things apart and put them back together.
-while quiet sometimes, i think she would be pretty good with socializing. im not sure if it mentioned bullying in her bio, but i feel like she would at least be teased >:( but i think shes grown more confident in her ability to talk to people
-hear me out… nienke as a model
-i think she and doc get along well. i think shes one of the people in rainbow who really do try to keep an eye on herself. no offense to the wild cards though :) gotta love em
-…..nienke in a sundress
-k but gamer nienke
-no like- vr n stuff, or those curved monitors that kinda surround your peripherals and stuff-
-STREAMER NIENKE
-im giving myself au ideas
-k those arent hcs but i think im done. f o r n o w
pair: ace x thermite ( @elliewan has inspired me from ao3 works!!) and mentions of ash x iq
warnings: insecurity, hurt/comfort i suppose? some fluff n angst
desc: ace isnt always so full of himself, you know.
the song is sunflower by shannon purser! from sierra burgess is a loser. the version in this is the movie version. highly recommend it!
this isnt going along with any of the stories posted, or anything!! just my own little idea that i was thinking of!
in truth, its more like ace is out of thermites league?? im unsure how to explain it other than ace wanting to seem “normal” enough for thermite to like him back, i suppose. also, ace thinks jordan likes women more sorta?? dont expect anything too good :) just an idea

“He’s so full of himself. Who would’ve guessed he’s a rescue worker?”
“Maybe he’d be better if he didn’t have his face shoved in the screen all the time, taking selfies.”
Yeah. Håvard heard it all. It never fell on deaf ears for him when it came to insults. They were jealous, he told himself. They envied him, he lied.
When he was alone, on ‘off’ days, was when he fell into such a daze. He’d just lie in bed until someone came and bothered him. Almost never. Who wanted to be around someone only concerned with their self?
Most days. That was how often he prided himself in his looks. His charm. His personality. His skill. He knew he had so much going on that others could only dream of having, but..he was never satisfied. But why? Was it because of his stupid longing for him?
those girls the boys are chasing winning all the games they’re playing they’re always in a different league
He wished the feelings would go away. But he was in too deep. He’d been crushing since the moment they’d met. And now, he was stuck in a quicksand pit of feelings. Maybe a typhoon. A whirlpool, perhaps.
He couldn’t help but chuckle halfheartedly in the darkness of his room, pulling his comforter tighter over his frame, then closing his tired eyes. He was perfectly ready to nap until Max bust in.
“C’mon, Haughland, let’s go! Trace, Weiss, Ela and are going out to town! It’s nice out and you look too sad to mope!”
“Oh, please, I’m fine.” Håvard huffed and covered his head, yelping a bit as the blanket was yanked off, exposing him to the cold.
“Come on! No isn’t an answer!”
And that was how he wound up being dragged along by the short Aussie, ahead of the few others with them. One of the Bosak sisters, he couldn’t pay enough attention to tell which. Ela likely. Then Monika. Whoever else, Håvard didn’t know.
However, when he glanced back, he felt his heart sink just a little more. Monika and Jordan talking. He hated this feeling of jealousy and how close they seemed. But..it was likely work, right? Yeah, that’s what it was.
stretching toward the sky like i don’t care wishing you could see me standing there
He felt a little better after some time, teasing Max a little and laughing a bit. However, time felt to go by so fast as they all found a nice restaurant, pushing together a bit to fit an extra chair for Monika. It felt inconvenient to Håvard, as he was squished up against the man he had feelings for, and then there was Monika, on his other side.
Even worse was that he felt invisible as they talked something about a new gadget to test in the lab. And to make it even worse? He was asked to scoot over, but complied silently. He felt a little bad for seeming so grumpy, but he ignored Monika as she asked if he was alright.
So, they ordered, all of them picking something fairly healthy, minus Håvard, who just got a straight up salad. That was the healthiest he could find. Even upset, he wanted to keep his diet. It wasn’t very busy, so it took a short while for them to receive their food. And while everyone else ate just fine, he felt suddenly disinterested, poking at the sad looking salad on his plate. Maybe it was only sad because of him. Maybe he was contagious.
“You should eat, Haughland.” Someone said to him, but he waved his hand dismissively, just drawing little patterns in the condensation on the cup, almost smiling until he heard Monika say something.
“…Yes, I suppose we could do that. I can’t wait.”
He blinked at the cup, then frowned at his own slightly distorted reflection. He glanced up, where Max sat, perfectly still. Max had heard just as much as he had.
With a slight cough, he got to his feet. “I’ll be right back. Uh..smoke break.” He was lying through his teeth, but any excuse to step away would be lovely.
“But you don’t smoke?” Ela said, narrowing her eyes as if confused.
“There’s a lot you don’t know.” He smiled slightly, which he knew lacked it’s usual charm. He just stepped outside, leaning on the wall.
but i’m a sunflower, a little funny if i were a rose, maybe you’d want me
For a second, he let tears he didn’t know he’d been holding back to fall. No sobs. Just silent tears and a slight whimper as he gazed up to the sky, eyes focused on a fluffy white cloud. It looked like a snail.
He smiled slightly, but that quickly faded when he heard a ring of a bell and he turned, to where Jordan stood, looking awfully worried. He wiped his tears quickly with the sleeves of his turtleneck.
“Are you o- no you’re not.”
“I am.” He argued back with a small smile, which was actually kind of genuine. But it didn’t last long.
“What happened? Did you…Did you lose someone?”
“Sort of in a way. Or so it feels.” Håvard shrugged as Jordan leaned on the brick wall beside him.
“Talk to me. If..you want, of course.”
“No, I’m fine.” He laughed a little, shaking his head a bit. “It isn’t important anymore. I’ve cried over it. I’m done.”
“You admitted you cried!” Jordan huffed and crossed his arms. “So you’re not- or weren’t okay?”
“I..suppose you could say that.” He shrugged, a little more serious now.
if i could, i’d change overnight i’d turn into something you’d like
“Then..can I ask what’s wrong?”
Håvard paused a long moment, then sighed. “You. And it isn’t really your fault.”
Jordan paused himself, then tilting his head. “What d’ya mean?”
He hesitated, then smiled slightly. “Monika. You’re going on a date with her, I heard. I just-”
“Oh! That? That isn’t a date. Really.” Jordan said, waving his hands slightly. “Just some tests on my charges. Weiss is eager to see if we can make the hole it creates a bit bigger. Who’d think sheof all people would be excited to do such a thing?”
He laughed a bit and Håvard smiled a bit.
“I’m sorry, then. I just..”
“Like me. I know, silly. Not hard to tell. Trust me on that much.” Jordan grinned and leaned on the wall beside him. “But..I don’t like Weiss. As a friend, sure. But nothing more. And she’s the same, trust me. She drools over Eliza.”
Håvard felt his face flush and he laughed a bit. “I wish I was a bit less thick-skulled. Maybe I would have noticed.” He paused. “Is that the right phrase? I think that’s what you all say..”
Jordan frowned a bit. “We don’t mean to hurt your feelings, you know.” He said, voice more soft now. “Just..I don’t know how to put it..”
but i’m a sunflower, a little funny if i were a rose, maybe you’d pick me
“Not always. I know.” He smiled. “I’ve accepted it.”
“I mean it, A- Håvard.”
“You said my name right-”
“Practice.” Jordan smiled a bit. “But..that’s not my point. What I mean is..you can be a bit..arrogant. But, I don’t always see you that way. Not everyone does. But I won’t say there aren’t times where people are annoyed.”
Håvard snorted a little. “I know that much, silly!” He smiled. “I just..get insecure. And..And before you go on about how I have so much, it doesn’t mean I’m happy. Content, maybe, but..not exactly happy.”
Jordan paused, as if waiting an explanation. He didn’t wait long.
“It’s more so because..I wonder if I’m enough. I..I figure you can tell I like you…no, I’m in love with you, but..am I enough?”
Jordan opened his mouth to speak, but Håvard stopped him.
“I may not be. But..I’ll change..I’ll change for you.”
but i know you don’t have a clue this sunflower’s waiting for you waiting for you
And that was when Jordan seized him by she shoulders and kissed him like there was no one watching. And while no one really was, they could’ve been seen. But neither cared.
Håvard was pleasantly lightheaded when Jordan let go, laughing a bit like he’d gone hysterical. It took him a minute to recover.
“You don’t have to change for me, you stupid snowball of confidence and- and-” Jordan huffed, just pulling Håvard close in effort to suffice in place of words. And suffice it did, as he seemed to finally be able to genuinely fully smile for the first time that day.
but i’m a sunflower, a little funny if i were a rose, maybe you’d pick me but i know you don’t have a clue this sunflower’s waiting for you waiting for you
After a while, they stepped back inside. Max looked awfully surprised, but grinned as he saw his friend smiling and happy.
They left shortly, Jordan and Håvard hanging back, walking beside one another, hands touching every so often. They said nothing, but they were happy.
And no, they weren’t together. Just..happy for the time being.
And that was okay.

IM SO PROUD OF THIS IDK WHY THE BEGINNING ISNT TOO GOOD BUT IDM IM HAPPY AND I LOVE IT
also i thought of thermite calling ace snowball would be cute bc i think mans has platinum blonde hair and burns really easy in the sun bc hes so pale
Behold, a diabetes-inducing artwork! This features Thermite and a cute little puppy. Pulse has no idea that his teammate is sneaking in a cute puppy.
This artwork took me quite a while. Made the lineart long time ago but lots of art blocks happened. Only now, I managed to get the motivation to finish this off.
these are so so time consuming but fun to make nonetheless! i will be making more of these so don’t panic hehe. i hope these are cool enough for my second attempt? enjoy, friends :P
