When people think of “the elements,” they’re probably thinking of the typical earth, air, water, and fire, but they don’t think of the fifth element, nor do they think about the stats of the elements or even the power behind them.

✨🌌Spirit🌌✨

Spirit (also known as Ether/Aether) is, by far, the most complex and complicated element to explain. It is what unites all things, anywhere and everywhere, and is our connection to the otherworld in rituals. The spirit element transports us beyond any narrow confines and allows us to open up to something much bigger, it is present in all aspects of life, and goes beyond thought and emotion. Unlike the other four elements it has no defined place or location, even though we cannot specifically place it, we know it is there. It provides the space, connection, and balance for the other elements to exist. All spells benefit from this element.

✨Represents: the sense of joy and union

I reach deep within myself.

Here and now,

I invoke spirit.

I call on the force connecting me

To the whole of existence

The thread running back through my blood,

And the ripples spreading over from my actions

I call on the visions that have inspired me, the kindness that has lifted me,

and the love I have given and received.

Life and song

Home and road,

Spirit, I call to thee”

You walk into your common room. You see a jacked half-elf with a terrible orange tan, doing one armed push ups in the middle of the room. He’s ranting about the latest edition of Boy Cloak Magazine and their lack of a ‘pro-calves defining’ collection.

There’s a genasi sitting on his back as an extra weight, clearly not listening to his rant at all. Instead just straight demolishing a lime. Peel and all.

There is a Firbolg laying face down on the carpet.

You leave the common room.

Some Friends to Lovers Prompts for Anon

Dialogue Prompts for Friends to Lovers

1) “We’re just friends! We just hang out a lot and are really similar and we just understand each other better than anyone else. It’s not like that.” 2) “I just don’t think this person’s right for you, you should date someone better, someone who gets you, someone like-” “You?” 3) “I don’t know if I can just be friends with you anymore.” 4) “Why are you being so secretive all the time?” “Can we please go somewhere quiet?” “No, whatever you have to say to me you can say in front of everyone here.” “I’m in love with you! I’m in love with you and I’ve been in love with you and so I’ve been avoiding you because I didn’t know how to say it and I didn’t want to lose you and I just wanted to do this privately.” “Let’s go somewhere else to talk.” 5) “Why did you wait to tell me this? I’m about to leave for a trip I didn’t even want to go on because you made it seem like you wanted me to go.” “I don’t want you to go. I don’t want you to go but I want you to do what you want to do, not what I want you to do. So what do you want to do?” “I wanna stay here with you.” 6) “You were right, you were right about everything, I’m in love with Person B and I don’t know what to do. Should I just pretend? Should I tell them?” “You just did. I was gonna tell you I put you on speaker so you could say hi to everyone but you jut kept talking.” “Goddamn it, Person C!” “Person B says you should call them.” 7) “I know I’m not good at this whole emotion stuff but I like you. I’ve got some issues I need to work on, but having you along with me just makes me fee better. I feel better when I’m with you.” “I like you too.” 8) “I’m in love with you.” “You can’t keep saying that every time I put extra Mcnuggets in your bag.” “No, this time I’m serious. You’re my best friend and I’m in love with you.” “I’m not giving you a Mcflurry too.” “No! I mean it.” “Like, for real?” “I’m Mcfuckin serious right now.” “I’ll take my break early, just sit over there for a bit. If you’re just joking I’m going to kill you.” 9) “You’re the first person I think of when I wake up and the last person I think about before bed. I’m in love with you.” 10) “I don’t think I want us to just be friends.” 11) “I love you.” “Aww, I love you too, you’re my best friend in the whole-” “No. No, I-I’m in love with you.” “What?” 12) “I think I’m in love with you.” “Yeah, that’s obvious.” “What? It is?” “Yeah, but I love you too.” 13) “I like you, and I know we’re best friends and I know it’s weird but I can’t stop thinking about you.” 14) “You can’t go out with Person C. They’re fucking boring and unfunny and you need someone to make you laugh and I always make you laugh so hard you your drink shoots out your nose. But it doesn’t even gross me out because you’re so cute. And like, they don’t even get all the jokes you make. They’re fuckin’ lame and they don’t even make you smile and you have a great smile. You shouldn’t date them, you should date me instead.” 15) “Is it weird I kind of want to kiss you right now?” “Is it weird I kind of want you to?” 16) “What if this ruins our friendship?” “Then we’ll stop being friends.” “We can’t stop being friends just because of a game of Uno.” “What if afterwards you don’t wanna be friends and you wanna be more than friends.” “This would have to be the most seductive game of Uno for that to happen.” “Should I take my pants off then?” “Shut up and shuffle the cards.” 17) “Hey, what’s your Netflix password?” “I’m in love with you.” “Is that a capital I or?” 18) “You know, we’ve been roommates for a long time and I’ve grown used to waking up to you in the morning. So much so that I can’t really picture myself living with anyone else so I was wondering if maybe you and I could-” “Adopt a dog together?!” “I was gonna say try dating.” “Oh! Well…can we get the dog too?” 19) “Is that my shirt?” “Yeah, I borrowed it, is that okay?” “Yeah, I…you just look good in it.” “You should see how I look out of it.” 20) “I’m not in love with them. I just think about them a lot because they’re my friend. And I worry and about them because I care about their safety and wanna know if they’re alright. I wanna be there for them for the rest of my life and it’s just not like that. It sounds like it is but it’s not. We’re just friends.”

Regular Prompts for Friends to Lovers

1) A and B are best friends but their relationship is strained when A starts dating C. At first B thinks they’re just upset they don’t get to spend as much time together, but when they all spend, including C. They realize they don’t like seeing A and C together and what they’re feeling isn’t a loss of a friend, it’s jealousy. 2) A has a thing for their best friend B and it’s obvious to everyone but B. They decide to set them both up for a blind date and when they get there they think it’s a double date C set up but when the “other dates” never show up they have dinner together and start to think they don’t mind having dinner with them.“ 3) A has never wanted kids so when they, along with their best friend B are asked by C to watch their kids for a few weeks they don’t really want to. But by the end of it they’re used to it all and have grown to like the idea of having kids, but they realize they’ve only ever wanted to have kids with B and no one they’ve ever previously dated. (Bonus if B loves kids already and has always wanted them.) 4) A and B are trapped in a house by "crazy killers” and when they start coming in looking as if they’re going to kill them A admits they’ve always loved B and that if they’re going to die they at least wanted to say it. After A confesses the lights turn on and the people take off the masks, revealing themselves to be A and B’s friends. (Bonus if B is dating A’s best friend and they’re one of the “killers” or B set the whole thing up because A’s never been scared before.) *This probably works best for Halloween or October but whatever. 5) A’s been trying to tell B about their feelings but keeps getting interrupted but when they get stuck at the top of the ferris wheel together they’re interrupted one last time by B admitting their feelings for A. (Bonus if B’s terrified of heights so they only do it because they think they might die.) 6) A’s in the hospital and B is told by C that A’s in a coma. B walks in seeing A hooked up to everything and they just break down and start confessing to them right there on the spot. A then proceeds to say, “I love you too but shut the fuck up, I’m trying to sleep.” That’s how B finds out C lied about the coma. (Bonus if A’s in the hospital because they just forgot to eat properly like a person.) 7) A is getting married, not to Person B but B’s best friend C. Before A’s ceremony B confesses everything to them and tells them that they can’t watch them marry someone else but they’ll be at the reception to congratulate them and give their best man/maid of honor speech. (Bonus if A or C run out to confront B.) 8) A has a huge crush on B and B only finds out because they they go through A’s spotify they have a private playlist of nothing but love songs dedicated to them. (Bonus if B decides to make one and send it to A and they'e all the love songs A reminds them of.) 9) A gets drunk and calls their friend and confesses their feelings for B. (Bonus if B’s name in their phone and their friends name are similar or nicknamed similarly so they call B instead.) 10) A is practicing telling B they’re in love with them but when they say “I’m in love with you” in a dark room they say it to person C instead. And when Person C says it back they don’t have the heart to tell them they didn’t mean it. (Bonus if they end up actually falling for C anyway.)
