hey zira, what are your hot takes on all of the fo4 companions?
Haha, I don’t know how hot they are, but I can give you a speed run! (Also I am very excited to get this. FO4 was the first open world game I ever played and just the concept of that and the hugeness of the world and branching story & sudden feeling changes towards me in companion characters totally blew my mind, & it still lives rent free in my heart).
Ada, Old Longfellow, and Strong I /still/ haven’t maxed despite having too many hundred hours to want to list on this game—the former bc they were DLC, Strong because honest to god I left him at a nice settlement and then completely forgot about him and remembering that I am the energy in this Ryan O’Flanagan video but abt leaving my super mutant in a tiny settlement alone. I will get there! To max affinity I mean. But anyway, I don’t truly know those three, so my takes are incomplete. So far though, I really like Ada. She is a good girl just trying her best. Fucks me up I can tell her to self destruct. Even though I feel sure she would ignore me, I cannot imagine ever saying that to her. It was really sweet she was willing to forgive the Mechanist and move on with her life. A good girl. Longfellow I am maxing rn (was last time I played anyhow). I enjoy him. Gruff grumpy old man but he seems quite decent and I like his idle banter and when he sings to himself a lot. Seems like he’s had it rough. Strong I liked. He’s wild, and I loved how insane meeting him was, and am worried about him eventually understanding poetry and how that might mess up his sense of world understanding. But he’s a chill dude in his own way and I am glad they gave us at least one nice super mutant.
For the companions I actually do know like the back of my hand, the speedrun:
Nick Valentine: Best man on earth. One of two fictional characters I ever called husband. I would die kill or live for him. I want to be 1/4th the man Nick Valentine is. One of the best characters ever period and I adore literally everything about him. It fucked me up early in game where right after he offered to basically risk destroying his mind to help a stranger look for her son, he asked me how I was doing. First character in the entire game to do that. His first companion dialogue is abt how you’re doing TuT. The man is very kind and forgiving and fair, but knows when the draw the line and take no shit. Emotionally mature, kind, caring, longsuffering. Incredibly damaged and broken by life, but holding on and living kindly and to help others anyway. One of the four most marryablen fictional men I’ve ever seen.
Preston Garvey: Brave, kind, sweet man. I would defend him with my life. He really just wants so bad to make the world better and life has been so hard, but he’s still trying. A beautiful and underrated companion and I would throw hands for him on sight. I adore how he whistles. A true and gentle and loyal friend. Take him to Quincy and let him get his justice it’s what he deserves. People who hate him because he tries to get help helping civilians in that game are weak. I love him so much... please give him enough time to reach max affinity he’s so worth it.
Deacon: *To the tune of You Are My Dad* You are my friiiiend! You’re my friend! (Boogie woogie woogie). Initially, he pissed me off bc he lies all the god damn time, but after we got close enough he actually trusted me, he stole my heart and I would also die for Deacon. He’s a really good person who thinks he’s shit because of who he was on his past. Also him 🤝 Preston: massive survivor’s guilt. They should be friends. Poor Deacon has been the last member of the Railroad like four times, and it’s awful. Help him. Give him love and support. He’s one of my all time faves. Also, Railroad hands down best faction and if you kill them for any reason other than like a walkthrough route video and I ever get the chance I would 100% clock you in the face as hard as I can, like going for losing teeth, and feel no guilt. I know it’s a game and that’s wrong, and I’d be wrong, but I’d still do it. Also, Ryan Alosio (his VA) saw me do cosplay for Deacon once and told me it was great and it filled me with even more love. Anyway Deacon is great. Also, his whole “There are other organisations out there. And, in time, I'm sure they're going to spoon-feed you their own patented form of bullshit. Ignore the verbage and look at what they're doing. What they're asking you to do. What sort of world they'd have you build and how they're going to pay for it.” Is one of the like, two most iconic quotes in all of FO4 & just super good in general.
Hancock: Hardcore badass man but also a good dude and a champion for the people. Man really puts his money where his mouth is and you gotta respect that; another favorite companion for sure. Big fan of the way he stabs a guy for you upon meeting, and is a cool leader who organized his crime and does a decent job actually leading. He works hard to help people and bites back hard. Social justice advocate, dangerous man about town, not afraid to cosplay a revolutionary war hero 24/7 & u gotta respect the no fucks given attitude. A chill dude. Like that he fights the institute, hates the Brotherhood, helps the Railroad, and is friends with Nick. He’s legit af. Also, his VA gives a different answer every time someone asks him about the voice he did for hancock and they’re funny af.
Piper Wright: A cool spunky lady. Lois Lane on the case, kicking butt, and taking name. She’s nice but also hardcore and smart, supportive, fun. A good person. You always get points if you like Nick (which most companions do), and they’re good friends. She’s funny and I love her. A good heart.
Codsworth: He’s great. He’s family. He’s like my...weird brother. Getting to max affinity is heartwarming and also makes my heart go :’-] . Great early-game companion bc he kicks ass and doesn’t need stims to heal. I love getting called by my name and think that was a great feature (well, my PC’s name). He’s a wonderful funky little robot dude and I am so glad he likes me.
Dogmeat: Amazing. A good boy. Doggo of the year. His actor deserved the game award she won. Cute, full of love, and plays with a teddy bear if you give him one. 100/10z
Cait: I like her a lot. She’s been through so much shit, and it makes sense she is how she is. I like they actually gave her an emaciated and messy (though still pretty) design, since she is a drug addict. And that they make her main quest about taking that seriously and wanting to get help, and that she’ll call out the player if they fuck around and do drugs in front of her after she gets rehabilitated. Her relationship to the PC if good is really sweet, and I am a fan. I like that while she’s not sympathetic to synths and thinks they aren’t people, she forgets that every time Nick walks into a room and is like “Oh hey Nicky : )”. She’s a good girl who has been through a lot and still needs time to heal and find herself, but she’s making great strides.
Robert Joseph MacCready: Human disaster (loving). Homeboy a goddamn /mess/ but I love him. He tries so hard to be cool. I love he makes you pay him to come with, then chickens out and gives it back lol. A fool ball of anxiety and bad decisions and what he thinks brovado is. I wish he, Preston, and Deacon would quit fighting, bc I am always like “ :’-] </3 Boys Please” when they swap out, but I love them just the same. He’s doing his best, he’s just stupid and a fool. Like Philip J Fry. Keeping his goddamn soldier toy, which somehow is listed as junk instead of sent to Misc with quest items where it would be fine, safe?parylizes me with fear. I’ve lost 2 hours of gameplay reloading an old save bc I accidentally lost it.
X6-88: A more complex one to answer about. He’s bad, but like, I’m pretty sympathetic to how he got that way. He was created in a lab and had his emotions mostly dragged out of him in intense psychologically damaging training so he would be a weapon and view himself as an object. I was relieved he chose me over the institute even if he wasn’t a fan of the chocie, and think that means there’s a lot of hope for him. Wish he’d chill the fuck out and quit intimidating civilians for 6 god damn seconds, but I like him. I bring him fancy lad snack cakes home from travels all the time, bc Synths are supposed to like them. Really like that he’s the /most/ sympathetic companion towards Danse in Blind Betrayal, even though he should not be programmed for that, and Danse hated him and made it clear any time they interacted.
(EDIT) Curie: I FORGOT HER BABY IM SO SORRY. I like Curie a lot, despite the fact I temporarily forgot she existed. I stg I thought she was in here. Uhhh, okay. Curie: like her character and personality, HUGE un-fan of both the way her desire to get a synth body is to be ‘more real,’ as if Codsworth isn’t a fully realized person while the same robot type she is, instead of just like. Because it would make her happy. ALSO hate how much of a Born Sexy Yesterday she is, even intentionally in not-determinate affinity talks. It’s gross. But her herself, I like a lot. She’s my daughter and I will protect her. She works at The Castle right now as their on-site medic.
Paladin Danse: I know I’m gonna take heat for this but honestly? He didn’t do much for me. I like that he looks and sounds kinda like Buzz Lightyear, and that’s fun, but idk at all why people think he’s so hot. He’s very boring & generic looking to me. Like you’re valid! Taste all be different. But he doesn’t do it for me personally in looks or personality. I don’t at all like, hate him. Or even dislike. Tbh I am fairly neutral on him. It was funny making affinity with him though. Every other companion I had maxed, I liked more and more with each affinity talk. They’d be like “So my dad was a minuteman and died and I want to honor him” or “I just want to really feel like I’m a person, for real, myself, and I am glad I met you, because the good we have achieved together is ours, even if I can’t be sure of anything else,” or “My brother threw the cultural minorities out of our city for clout bc the rich citizens were all racist, and I tried to help—I snuck them food to the unsafe ruins they set up in for weeks, but eventually, they just vanished, and I still bear immense guilt and self-hatred over not having stopped that.” And Danae’s would be like “One time a buddy of mine got kidnapped by super mutants. They turned him into one of them, and they’re all abominations, so I killed him and it made me really sad.” And I was just like “...Oh danse. I really wanted to like you more. But what the fuck.” His relationship to Haylen is sweet though. And ofc I saved him in Blind Betrayal. I blew up the Prydwin so he’s safe now too, and he lives in the garden by my house and tells me how glad he is we’re friends, and I’m p into that. Overall, my feelings on him are not strong at all though.
Porter Gage: Not a fan. Like, I appreciated he helped me kill the old boss, sure. And bc I owed him for that, I went to max affinity to see what there was to him as a person. And like, as far as raiders go, he was okay. But he wasn’t deeply sympathetic, and he’s a slaver, and if you try to liberate the slaves he and the others own, he /will/ turn on and attempt to murder you immediately, no matter how close you were, so he made his choice, and it was to be a bad person and an asshole to the last. Really enjoyed the VA’s work a lot on him tho.
And there you have it 👈👈😎. Thanks for asking!

Sub!Namjoon A-Z 
note: posts for other members linked in m.list!
⚠️ warnings: dom/sub dynamics, smut, bdsm
Tumblr media
a = aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
In the mood to talk a lot. Might appreciate a high five. I’m not even kidding.
b = body part (their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Confident about his legs. Always uses a metric ton of lotion to make them extra soft for you to fondle. Might go through a few bottles a month because wow, his legs have a lot of well um leggy leg to be slathered. For you... similar area, he likes your feet to worship. 
c = cum (anything to do with cum basically… i’m a disgusting person)
How much more playful can he get. At your command, he’ll lick it off your butt. Sex with Namjoon is always super creamy-sloppy-sweaty anyways, he has a lot to gobble up.
d = dirty secret (pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
Most of the other members have as many secrets as they have fingers, Namjoon, however, will exceed that by far. He wants to try shibari, sounding, pet play, flogging, collaring, and basically everything that comes with spreader bars and gimps. Clearly spends too much time on the internet because holy cow, that’s ambitious. But you can take it as a compliment to your skill, or rather, Namjoon’s conviction that you master a lot of kinks.
e = experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
In his mind, and in general terms of knowledge, very much so. He’s not just well-versed with humanitarian thought, kink is not safe from his curiosity. Practically, less so, but he learns fast with your lead.
f = favourite position (this goes without saying.)
Up against a wall. He is not above begging for you to pin him to one everywhere. Also his favorite mode of making out, by the way.
g = goofy (are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)
Oops! By accident. Like when removing pants, trying to at least, because his boner often gets stuck, or stumbling across the room entangled with you, trying to head towards the bed.
h = hair (how well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)
Will definitely experiment with razors a lot. Because let’s face it, Namjoon is like straight out of a shaving commercial. Imagine him in those scenarios where the guy is all sensual under the shower with cream dripping everywhere, or leaning against the mirror wall. It’s totally worth filming.
i = intimacy (how are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)
You probably have to prevent him from getting super cheesy... or allow it because oh my, he becomes even more hopelessly subby from that.
j = jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Edging, edging, edging. Him masturbating gets him into all sorts of trouble and everyone in BTS has at least one Kim ‘Fap Monster’ Namjoon story they can drunkenly tell at a party to embarrass him for eternity. He’s most infamous for moaning far too loud during climax and even talking to himself, or accidentally streaming his session into the group chat. The first sex-related thing that you’ll ever do is establish a couple rules for Fap Monster to follow, and generally engage in more guided masturbation than having him do it alone.
k = kink (one or more of their kinks)
The question remains, what kink doesn’t he have! But I get it, something specific, let’s see. That would be breast sucking. And not just on you, we all know the perks of Namjoon’s chest.
l = location (favourite places to do the do)
Now hear me out. It’s not the library, but something even more... out of the ordinary. Namjoon would totally be ready to have sex in abandoned places of some sort given that there’s not a spider every corner and unsafe debris. Maybe for nostalgic value, or the sheer thrill. You’ll have to talk about it.
m = motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Different every week. He will gladly explain that to you in his 2 AM texts that read like a Kant chapter each. 
n = no (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
Now we had that, it’s more difficult to pinpoint that one. Nams would probably mention something that doesn’t go in accordance with his moral values and is general common sense either way, like some kind of creepy race/non-con play or certain forms of edge play torture that take hygiene concerns to a new level and would shred anyone without 10 years of experience. Besides exchanging thoughts with you, he’ll get busy in some BDSM forums online and inform himself on how the consensus is. Namjoon is definitely the type to know about what is controversial and being careful with that. He is kinky, but role model kinky. 
o = oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)
Oh man. What can’t he do with his tongue. And those lips... fit perfectly on your labia. Surely equal amounts giving and receiving, 69 ahoy.
p = pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Sex with Namjoon is so dynamic, speed hardly stays the same over the course of a few minutes. Ever heard his tracks? You can assess how a rapper fucks by his mixtape alone. He switches flow every ten bars. That’s how Namjoon is in bed. 
q = quickie (their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)
You can jump on his dick as often as you please, problem is that Namjoon’s masturbation troubles transfer to your quickies as well. I think there’s a reason why abandoned places are perfect because otherwise, the whole world will know.
r = risk (are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)
90% risk, 10% contemplation. That might seem unusual for him, but in your presence, Namjoon quickly becomes a bit of a carefree guy. Hormones are one hell of a drug. But! It’s good to see him leave his mind palace.
s = stamina (how many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)
To be fair: He tries and tries and tries. All that edging does give him a few bonus minutes of endurance, but 15 minutes is the limit. Two rounds max. 
t = toy (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
One of the few members who isn’t caught up in the toy mania. Seriously, can you imagine Joon operating something like a Sybian? It’s not him. Instead, he prefers you to bring your own collection along, who said Kim Namjoon doesn’t like some anal beads to stretch him out.
u = unfair (how much they like to tease)
His teasing is so subtle, it’s a test for your intelligence. If you don’t get it, he can still do one of his infamous simple, but effective winks to get your attention. The guy has several methods up his sleeve and thinks you’re cool anyways. Namjoon is a pretty sophisticated flirt, you’ll love that.
v = volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make)
Boy, what a confusion is that going to be for the neighbors. “Is Y/N watching Jurassic World again?” Nope, it’s your man making some weird inhuman noises and he’s proud of them. 
w = wild card (get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
You can definitely take him hiking and have a lot of fun in the mountains, you know. Again, that saves civilization from Namjoon’s lack of vocal control and you have free reins to really make him choke and moan in the meadows.
x = x-ray (let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)
Doctors hate him! How did Kim Namjoon grow such an impressive 8th member of BTS reaching from Ilsan to Seoul? Citizens use it as a bridge! Buy his secrets for just 70.99$! Now I’m joking, Namjoon dabbles around upper average independently of his body height, and you can be glad because if that was in true proportion your gynecologist would be the one hating him and that third leg. He’s definitely material for cock and ball torture, lots of areas to work with. Add the ass he’s been growing to spank. I swear the guy’s a sex symbol.  
y = yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
How to describe it. Namjoon has a lot of pizzazz. It magically goes to sleep in the presence of books though.
z = zzz (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Click! Lights off. It happens pretty fast so you have to wrap it up quickly and kiss your koala goodnight.

Mage- Chapter 4: Battle At The Ball
Written by 50funny:
Part 1- The Gate Crashers
Alex stood in the empty kitchen, furiously scrubbing dishes sending water and foam flying across the bench.
“Stupid Liz, making me scrub up dishes. What did I ever do to her? All I wanted was to come to this dumb party,” Alex ranted under his breath.
“Alex, please just let me out! It stinks in here,” Bip begged trying to get Alex’s attention.
“Huh what? Oh yeah right,” Alex said realizing Bip was still stuck in his cloths.
Alex grabbed his shirt and untucked it from his trousers. He held the base of his shirt open allowing Bip to fall out onto the bench top below. Bip took in a series of sharp deep breaths and scratched at his tongue trying to get rid of the taste.
“Yuk, it smelt disgusting in there. I’m never gonna forgive you for that,” Bip spat.
“Yeah sorry, guess I forgot you were in there,” Alex said unapologetically.
“You jerk,” hissed Bip.
Bip looked around the abandoned kitchen.
“Uhhh Alex, where is everybody?” Bip asked.
Alex looked around the kitchen surprised, having not noticed how empty the room had become.
“Huh? Oh yeah, where did everyone go?” Alex said.
“Were you really so worked up about Liz that you didn’t notice an entire room full of people leaving?” Bip questioned.
“Hey, don’t blame me, she was a real jerk. We’re supposed to be friends!” yelled Alex.
“You can’t be serious,” Bip sighed. “Get your head in the game Alex; have you forgotten why we came here?”
As Bip’s words echoed through Alex’s head his mood shifted becoming much more serious.
“Yeah, you're right. Sorry, come on let’s get going,” Alex said.
Alex began walking towards the door followed shortly behind by Bip. He swung open the kitchen doors and walked into the main ball room. What had previously been the scene of a loud and busy party had now been completely deserted save for a lone old man sweeping in the middle of the room. Alex and Bip looked around the hall confused as to what had happened. The old man sweeping noticed the pair out of the corner of his eye and looked over to them.
“What are you two doing here?” asked the man.
“What are we doing here? Where’s everybody else gone?” Bip retorted.
“Didn’t you two hear? The party was called off early and all the staff sent home. Well all the staff except for old sweepy,” the janitor complained.
“Called off? Why would it have been called off?” Alex asked as he and Bip approached the man.
“Well from what I heard Mr. Lance was feeling a bit under the weather. But if you ask me I think he just wanted some quiet time with that nice looking gal I saw him with, haha” said the man letting out a cheeky laugh as he returned to his chores.
Alex and Bip looked at each other.
“So, what’s the plan now then?” asked Bip.
“Well we should probably start by finding Liz,” stated Alex.
Alex took in a swift gasp as he had a moment of shocked realization. He ran over to the janitor and forcefully grabbed him by the collar.
“Hey, what the hell are you doing?” the man gurgled.
“The girl you saw Lance with, where were they and what were they doing,” Alex demanded.
“I don’t know, they were just walking and talking, they went into the main study down that hall, the tenth door on your left you can’t miss it,” said the man pointing his hand out towards the nearby hallway.
Alex dropped the man to the ground before running off down the hall followed shortly behind by Bip.
“Crap, we should have never left her alone” Alex said, coming to a stop as he reached his destination.
From behind the large wooden door the pair could hear Liz and Lance’s mumbled conversation. Alex walked up to the door placing his eye to the key hole.  His eyes darted around the study before finally landing on the two. Liz laid on the floor limply as Lance knelt above her, his hand around her head, emanating a red glow.
“Damn it, looks like she’s in trouble, stand back I’m gonna break the door down,” Alex stated.
“Damn it, she’s in trouble! Stand back” Alex stated pulling back his fist.
“Wait hold on a second, think this through first,” Bip pleaded to no avail.
Alex launched his fist  full force at the door sending it violently swinging open with a loud thud catching Lance off guard as he looked over to face the door.  Alex stood in the doorway staring at Lance with an icy glare.
“My oh my that was quite the entrance. You’re the boy from this morning aren’t you,” asked lance.
Alex remained stone faced as he slowly walked into the room.
“I take it you’re here to try and help your friend, would that be correct?” Lance continued grinning menacingly at Alex.
“Spose, something like that,” replied Alex taking up a fighting stance.
“How noble of you, but foolish all the same” Lance said standing. “But I don’t recall inviting you to this event, so I suppose I am obliged to remove you from the premises,” he continued taking up a similar fighting stance.
Part 2- Battle At The Ball
Alex and Lance began slowly circling each other waiting for an opening to strike the other.
“You can’t really expect to beat me can you?” Lance taunted confidently. “Come on then let’s make this fair. I’ll let you throw the first blow”
Lance put his arms out and gestured for Alex to attack him.  In an instant Alex sprung forward at an incredible speed, seeming to almost teleport in front of Lance. He pulled his fist back and prepared to launch it at Lance. Time seemed to slow down for Lance as he tried to comprehend what had happened. He began to pull back away from Alex’s fist causing it to fall short of its target by mere millimeters. Alex made a quick U-turn returning to his original position in an instant. Liz looked on from the ground shocked by Alex’s feat of athleticism.
“What the?” Liz exclaimed.
“Liz over here,” came Bip’s voice.
Liz looked over towards the door to see Bip flying swiftly over to her.
“Liz get up we need to get out of here! Now!,” Bip said urgently.
“I would if I could, Lance put some sort of poison in my drink, I can’t move at all,” Liz said looking over to her broken glass on the floor.
Bip flew over to the glass, knelt over and began to smell the remains of Liz’s drink.
“Red fang,” Bip stated.
“Red fang? What’s that?” asked Liz.
“It’s a an extremely potent paralyzing poison, it also goes by the name mage killer,” said Bip.
“Mage killer! Holy crap am I gonna die?” Liz panicked.
“No don’t worry; it just immobilizes the victim making it impossible for them to use magic” Bip said calming Liz as he flew back over to her. “The effects only last max 10 minutes, hopefully this we’ll keep us safe for that long.”
Bip landed in front of Liz and clapped his hands firmly together and began to tense every muscle in his body. Suddenly a shimmering translucent blue sphere started emerging from the ground, encapsulating the pair with in it. Bip continued to focus all his effort into maintain the field as he started to sweat.
“Let’s hope this holds,” Bip said.
Lance looked at Alex still surprised by his lightning fast attack.
“My my, you’re a speedy one aren’t you. Maybe I underestimated your ability’s somewhat… or maybe you just got lucky, either way I assure you that won’t work a second time,” said Lance.
As quickly as the first time, Alex launched himself towards Lance pulling his fist back preparing to strike him.  As Alex grew closer Lance prepared himself, learning from Alex’s previous attack. Lance sent his own fist flying toward Alex at full speed landing in the centre of his stomach just before Alex’s own blow landed.  Alex was sent flying across the room landing with loud crash, throwing a plume of dust bellowing into the air.
“Alex!!” Liz and Bip yelled in unison.
Lance turned around and began slowly walking towards the pair.
“Ha, well that was easy, now just to deal with the pair of you,” Lance said menacingly.
Lance’s attention was suddenly drawn back to the dust cloud. As the cloud settled Alex appeared standing completely unaffected by Lance’s attack.  Alex dusted himself off nonchalantly.
“Well, this is a surprise, that blow should have killed you, or at least put you in the hospital for a long while,” Lanced said. “There’s only one explanation for it… you used magic to protect yourself.”
“What, that’s not possible” Liz said in shock as she listened on.
“You… are a magic user,” Lance said as he raised his finger accusatory towards Alex. “But why didn’t I detect it sooner, I’m usually pretty on the ball when it comes to that,” Lance continued as he began to stroke his chin in thought.
“Maybe you’re just not as good as you think you are” Alex taunted as he returned to a fighting stance.
“Well maybe, or maybe you’re just such a weak magic user that I didn’t even sense it. Yes that must be it,” said Lance.
“Wanna try that theory out,” Alex retorted.
“Haha, I like your spirit! But unfortunately for you now I know you can use magic, I don’t have to go easy on you anymore,” Lance said. An evil smile formed on his face as he held his fingers out towards Alex in a gun shape. “Finger guns activate!”
Suddenly a loud bang filled the air as a small silver orb shot out from Lances fingertip at the speed of a bullet, sending his hand flicking back from the recoil. The bullet went flying inches away from Alex’s head and landed in the bookshelf behind him. They exploded on impact leaving a large hole wall. He turned to run away from the crater but was stopped quickly by a second bullet passing close by his face. Alex turned around to face Lance as another shot came speeding straight towards his head. He flicked his hand out in front of him causing a blue barrier to form in the air. The bullet hit the barrier causing it to shattering it like glass.
“Crap, that’s not good,” Liz panicked.
“Don’t worry Liz,” Bip said confidently. “Alex knows what he’s doing.”
Lance laughed maniacally as he continued fire his barrage at Alex who narrowly dogged in-between each speeding bullet by mere inches.
“Haha, you can’t keep this up forever, sooner or later you’ll slip up,” taunted Lance as drop of sweat fell from his brow. “You’ll tire yourself out at this rate.”
Alex jumped up high off the ground passing between two bullets. He grabbed onto the top of the bookshelf and with a strong kick launched himself off towards Lance causing the shelf to fall down shaking the room as it hit the floor. Alex passed narrowly by Lance landing kneeling down on the other side of the room.
“Damn it, missed,” Alex said nonchalantly as he stood back up.
Lance turned around to face Alex shocked and horrified as he noticed the short silver dagger he now held. Alex shook the blade off, sending a splatter of blood to the floor as a small cut opened up under Lance’s eye.
“What the hell was that? how did he see through my attacks, that shouldn’t have even been possible? And where did that blade come from, was he hiding it somewhere?” Lance panicked as he tried to wrap his mind around what had happened. “No I can sense it, that blade is of magical origin. But for a novice to conjure something of that strength?”
Lance raised his finger to point at Alex.
“Ju… just who the hell are you?” Lance yelled his voice quivering with fear.
Alex slowly walked towards Lance.
“What am I gonna do, I still can’t sense any magic coming from him. I have no clue how powerful he really is. Whatever the case, I can’t let him get close to me. One good strike from that blade and I’m done for. I just have to keep him far away until I figure out what to do” Lance thought, panicked as he raised his hand up pointing his finger guns once again.
“Machine gun modes activate!” Lance yelled.
Lance’s finger guns began to fire again much faster than before. Alex began dodging between the shots once again. moving so fast that he became a blur.
“Haha, you can’t keep that pace up forever. you’ll tire yourself out soon enough haha, then I’ll make you into Swiss cheese,” Lance yelled.
The wall behind Alex began to fall apart as it became more hole than wall, sending dust and debris flying into the air. Lance began to sweat profusely as he continued his barrage.
“Just give it up all ready, you can’t possibly defeat me” Lance panted in exhaustion.
The pace of Lances shots began to slow down as he became more and more exhausted giving Alex plenty of opportunity to counter attack. Alex once again launched himself forward pointing the butt of his dagger out. The dagger made contact with Lance’s knee sending a loud crack echoing through the air. Lance let out an ear piercing scream as his knees buckled beneath him dropping him face first onto the ground. He rolled himself onto his back to face Alex.
“You bastard!” Lance yelled pointing his fingers out once more.
Another small bullet went flying towards Alex, harmlessly bouncing off his shoulder blade and onto the floor.
“What the hell, that was a direct hit, why aren’t you dead?” Lance said in frustration.
“I’m surprised you don’t know, you’re a pro mage after all,” Alex sighed sarcastically as he turned to face Lance. “In its most basic form magic is just energy, an energy produced by all living things. Normal people use that energy up every day and replenish it at night by sleeping.” Alex began to explain “For magic users though, we harness that energy to preform our craft, that’s why we need to know how to conserve it, in case we run out and collapse from sheer exhaustion,”
Alex began walking over to Lance until he stood looming above him as he pointed his hand towards the destroyed wall.
“See, those little bullets you were using where strong… too strong. You poured way too much magic into each one than you realistically needed to in order to kill me. It was only a matter of time till you ran out of magic completely and passed out. All I needed was for you to drain yourself enough to start slipping up, and with how much magic you were wasting with that machine gun mode, your fate was sealed,” Alex said “You should really work on conserving your magic more. Take that as advice from a real pro.”
Lance listened on. Shocked by how knowledgeable Alex was.
“This boy is insane. To be able to come up with a plan like that, in the middle of a battle, takes years of training. But how? I still sense no magical presence about him, and yet he’s clearly a pro. How?” Lance thought as his eyes focused on Alex’s blade. “Wait, that dagger, I’ve seen it before.”
Lance’s eyes widened as he began to realize Alex’s true identity.
“You’re…” Lance yelled before being cut off as Alex stomped on his face.
“Shut your filthy mouth,” Alex said as a dark aura began filling the air.
Bip looked over to his friend knowing what was about to happen.
“Oh crap, Liz can you move, we’ve gotta get out of here right now” Bip panicked as he dropped the barrier around the two.
“I.. I think I can,” Liz said as she struggled to stand up.
“Here, I’ll help” said Bip, placing himself under Liz’s arm to support her weight as she began to shuffle towards the door.
The pair walked out into the hallway as Bip closed the door behind them with his tail, leaving Lance to an unknown fate at Alex’s hands.

I prepped some refs for my ocs for Artfight! which is currently down lmao! Add me tho when you can here’s my linkhttps://artfight.net/~Melondots !! These guys were  previously named the good kids gang for those who’ve seen some of them before but Prisim fits better and ye i know its not spelt right lmao
Seven years ago Winona, inari, onari and Brenna had gone on a hike to find some items to build a fort, they’d all gotten lost in the woods and at sunset they’d reached the creek. Across the creek they saw Anne, Roy, Nova and Sasha. 
Anne, Roy, Nova and Sasha. were out exploring as per sasha’s usual antics and after getting lost they’d reached the creek at sunset. Nova had been against going out that day.
When both groups locked eyes the sky erupted in a thunderous sound, a second explosion followed. Something plummeted into the creek. A prism slowly rose from the crater it created spinning slowly, it quickly gained speed as everyone tried to recover and run away, stopping abruptly bursting and cracking into a kaleidoscope of colors, stabbing into each kid haphazardly. After that it collapsed in on itself pulling in everyone into the center of the creek.  ( I’ll post what their old colours would look like on them now later)
That day they each gained powers from Ultra. The tester of planets. Ultra sends nine shards to create elements to better the planet and get it ready for Ultras return as Artlu.  Artlu will test how the shards have done in restoring the planet, not even the shards know what happens if they pass or fail. They’re not even sure what  Artlu is. When all nine shards come together they’ll create one.
Nova took it the hardest. The change was too much.  The fear of failure and pressure. She doesn’t talk to anyone from that night and has worked tirelessly to control her powers. She still slips now and then. She hates fire more than anything. She has nothing to do with Prisim. Though she still has to go to school with all of them.
Sasha and the rest went on to create Prisim they were ten and nine of course they spelt it wrong, the name grew on them all. 
Prisim did stealthy missions for the good of the neighborhood, finding lost pets, getting cats out of trees you name it. As they grew older they began to do good deeds done by less than nice means. You could say it’s a robin hood sort of situation now. 
Prisim is the top crime syndicate in the country, orphanages and food banks are booming. Homelessness is down by 25% and houses are being rebuilt. produce and cattle are on the up. Restoration of forests are doing so well. The government is still after them sadly. 
The real fight has only just begun! Prisim isn’t only missing Nova, someone else was at the creek......Prisim needs to find them in a year before the next touchdown of Ultra.
 Its not a matter of where to find them its a matter of when. 
Powers and how they work under the cut !
Sasha Univera-  (SAW-SHA / U-KNEE-VAIR-AH) Lighting 
 Can create, summon and control electricity. Can use their powers to control electronics to certain degrees. Can blow out and restart mainframes. Gives them an extra boost of energy in daily activities 
Thunderstorms with a lot of lightning can cause them to be untouchable for the duration, they have to wear special gloves to properly work with their mechanics. The less they’ve eaten the less power they have aka electrolytes. While they can use their powers while wet it’s the only way it’ll hurt them too so it’s a risk. 
Can’t use their powers when too over heated, 
Inari Summers ( Inn-Are-e) Living Earth 
Can create plants from their body, help along the growth of preexisting plants and can form new plants long as they know enough about the composition of the plant itself. 
500 acres is the max they can create in a weeks span after that they'll need at least a two weeks rest. 
Constantly is sprouting plants and presses them to look like tattoos
Onari Summers (Oh-N-are-e)  Gravity ( Being a Loser)
Can change the density of the atmosphere in a scaling diameter of size.
If she makes it to big and holds it too light for too long she’’ get nauseous, if she makes it big, heavy and hold it for too long she’ll pass out. 
She can put these atmosphere changes anywhere in any place, say push you to the left because she made a new gravity to your right
Can’t move very large buildings like skyscrapers.
Anne Squire (Ann / SS-CHOIR) Shadow
Can create balls of black energy, shape shadows, herself and pass through shadows. 
If the shadow she entered through disappears on one side she cant go back through it.
Gets sleepy after using her powers too much
Nova Jest (NO-VAH ) Flame
Prisim was unable to collect any information on this individual- IS
Roy Laust (ROI / LOUST) Water
Can shape and control water in all forms.
During rainstorms her powers are unpredictable as well as near large bodies of water. Has to stahy hydrated and moisturized, if dried out or dehydrated cannot use powers.
Can’t create water from themselves 
Winona Byrce (Win-owe-naw / BRRICE)
Can manipulate metals, earth, gems  and crystals 
Has to be touching the mineral/ has to have interacted with it before.
Brenna Quinne  (Br-eh-nuh/ Qui-inn)
Can commune with animals. Can calm and understand their needs 
Can take on an attribute from one of five of the last animal they've interacted with. I.E Gain wings if theyve spoken to a bird recently. a good smell if a bloodhound
That’s about it! if you have any more question about them or anything my ask is always open lmao

i got all the parts i wished for (it's an ache & it shines through me)
[anyway someone said they wanted carm & laura & their baby running errands n stuff etc on a cold november day so here u go, this has no real substance & is rly just gay]
//
i got all the parts i wished for (it's an ache & it shines through me)
.
is it a sign? or just a landmine?/ or a feeling roaming free?/ it's overtaken me/ gonna hold it 'til it dries up/ or pocket it for another day/ if it's me i cannot give up/ i'd rather that she stayed/ oh, slack jawed me/ can't you see?/ there's so many rhythms and harmonies/ & i'm walking the dog back —sylvan esso, “slack jaw”
//
the morning is the kind of harsh bright that tells you that winter will happen soon, that this is one of the last days you can comfortably wear sneakers and spend time at the park without freezing. you yawn once, just waking up, and when you turn over, there’s your wife and your dog and your son, all sound asleep, all various degrees of small. you watch them all for a few minutes, curled up and tangled, and your chest hurts, because they’re the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen. you think they get more beautiful every day.
eventually, your stomach grumbles and carm cracks an eye open with a little smile. she’s tender with you, seemingly more so as time goes on, soft and sweet and honest. ‘good morning,’ she says in german, then yawns and shakes her head and says it again in english.
‘good morning,’ you say, and you want to kiss her but you can’t—you look down at your son and your dog again and she laughs, shifting to tickle both of their tummies. your dog scrambles around, trying to stand up, while your son squeaks out a little, delighted laugh and then babbles, reaching for you while he also has a death grip on carm’s hair. his eyes are a blue you don’t think you’d ever seen before until you watched them open for the first time.
you are so full of love in this moment, on this cold morning, that it knocks the wind out of you. carm looks at you curiously, because your breath catches and you feel like you might cry, but then she’s kissing your cheek and your dog is licking your son’s foot, which is making him laugh, and they’re all kind of a mess, and you just close your eyes and listen.
//
carmilla does things carefully now. not in a way that worries you—she’s not scared of hurting you, not timid. she just—cares. takes her time to make you dinner before you get home from work, a recipe she’d learned years ago in mumbai; just yesterday you’d watched her sit on the floor and rub waterproofing wax into all of your winter boots, working it in patiently with her hands, taking special effort along the seams.
you know why—the most special, quiet reasons. it’d taken you two years to convince her to go to therapy—four broken hands that hadn’t healed at vampire speed, more nightmares than you could possibly keep track of, and a lot of withholding sex—but she’d gone. with carm, you’ve learned that you need to go slow, with just about everything, but especially this. when she’d been in therapy a few months you’d suggested an emotional support dog for her, especially for during the day when you weren’t there. she’d certainly been enjoying her trust fund time, but you’d come home from work to her cowering in the shower, shivering, freezing and despondent. you’d come home to her sitting in the snow on your back porch in february, drinking whiskey and watching the sunset, and it was so cold out her eyelashes were coated with the remnants of frozen tears. you’d come home to carm hurt in so many ways, or reliving that hurt, tiny and beautiful and deeply sorrowful.
so you’d done your research and when you’d brought home a puppy to foster—his fur deep, deep black, his eyes light grey, with a sharp face, missing a leg; he was pulled out of rubble from a hurricane in the south—carmilla had held him very carefully, pet the length of his body with incredible gentleness, and smiled up at you. she’d decided to name him wittgenstein, so you’d insisted on calling him wit, much to her frustration. he’d very quickly become an important part of your family, and they’re scared of the same things: thunderstorms, sudden loud noises, when the subway gets stalled underground.
they’d healed, and it’d been years before you brought up the idea of children. when you had, though, carmilla had agreed much more quickly than you ever thought she would—but she had gestured toward your small, sleeping dog, his little sweaters in the corner and his organic dog food and his leash and snowboots, and then shrugged. you’d laughed and kissed her but you had understood: she is full of love, and she has always been full of care, even when it hadn’t seemed like it.
you’d adopted max months later, and carm had been terrified of him for a few days, you’re pretty sure. but she’s a fantastic mom, which you’d watched bloom and grow. she speaks lots of languages to him, whispers little songs when he’s crying. he seems to really like grabbing onto her hair, and she always gets up at night when he’s fussing.
the first time you’d brought him to visit her at work, in her little office with a mess of papers on the desk and what you’re pretty sure is hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of first editions and journals from famous philosophers on her shelf, she’d led you to a small café near campus, and a group of her undergrad students had run into you, and they had all melted at seeing her with this tiny, beautiful baby. she had grumbled but eventually laughed, his fingers curled around one of hers.
//
this morning you put max in his room, let wit stay by his playpen, and then walk back to your bed with carm trailing behind. you’re both laughing and you feel young again, you feel twenty again, when you lay this girl down beneath you and kiss her deeply, when you pull her body toward yours until she’s gasping your name in the golden light through the window. the hints of winter sun.
//
you lazily take a shower together, and you wash her hair, which she almost never lets you do. you kiss there too, although it’s without pretense, this intimacy. you get dressed in an easy rhythm, having shared this space for years. it strikes you sometimes at how profound and intense these ordinary moments of love are: of course you have fallen in love with her grand gestures—sneaking into palaces to dance at midnight, proposing on the roof of the philosophy building in the middle of a meteor shower.
but you hadn’t realized the magnitude of your love until you were grocery shopping years and years ago, and you had been getting vegan burgers from the freezer aisle, and when you had found her after she’d wandered off, she was closely inspecting pears, peering at them intensely. you’d been so floored by your fondness for her—this odd, brilliant, almost quotidian creature—that you still remember it now.
and this happens all the time, your love for her. when she’s making coffee and curses slightly when she spills a few grounds, then sighs and gets a clorox wipe from under the sink, when she talks quietly to max, when she smiles at you while you’re on the subway, holding your hand and not shaking at all.
//
today you have to run errands, but they’re not really important, so you bundle max up in his stroller and put wit’s sweater on, then his little boots. they’re really fucking cute, so you make carm wait so you can take pictures of them. she slouches and sighs but she’d put on a hat and a scarf and a legitimate weather-appropriate coat without having to be convinced or reminded, so you take it as a win.
she walks wit while you take the stroller, and you make her stop in victroire and of course she’s the one to find something; you go to jimmy’s for another coffee, chat with tahir, your favorite barista, throw the ball for a few minutes for wit at trinity bellwoods. it’s cold, and so you stop in at kenzo for ramen, try to feed max little tiny bits of noodles without making too much of a mess. you go to f as in frank and carm spends an inordinate amount of time trying on vintage sweatshirts, but she’s in a great mood today so she models them very seriously, which makes you laugh. it’s the only reason she does it, you think, which makes you love her more.
eventually, you can tell she’s getting tired, and max is getting fussy, and wit is panting. you make them all go with you to pick up groceries, though, the only real errand you’d had to run. you walk back with them to your little brownstone on euclid, and you’ve worked it out well enough by now that you can push the stroller, walk the dog, and hold her hand.
when you mention this, she laughs.
‘we really are parents then, hey?’
the tiny inflection at the end makes you stop, and take a deep breath, and she stops too, worriedly.
you shake your head, kiss her with all your might, so softly, right there in the middle of the sidewalk, golden leaves falling around, the last gasp of fall before the barren branches and snow. your son is babbling and your dog is shuffling around your legs, and carmilla—your wife—sniffles, just barely.
you back up and it takes you a second to form words, because her eyes are so dark and brimming with tears.
‘that was just very canadian of you,’ you tell her. ‘the “hey?”.’
she rolls her eyes with a messy, teary laugh. ‘that’s what caused a kiss like that?’
you shrug—you know you don’t have to explain it to her, not really.
she smiles, a grin, and you know what that means. ‘laura, i’m wearing blundstones.’
‘oh my god,’ you say, start pushing the stroller again as she jogs to catch up.
‘i have toque on—from roots.’
‘you’re an idiot,’ you grumble, but you’re laughing too.
‘i’ll make old fashioned’s with maple syrup while we watch degrassi tonight.’
‘i literally hate you,’ you say, but you glance over at her, dark hair and eyes and the prettiest skin, her warm heart and her beautiful brain, the golden light of the day waning, shimmering.
‘i love you too,’ she says, and reaches out to take your hand.
