Question: what’s your source on the phytoestrogens? Bc the only times I’ve ever heard that claim, they all source back to this one study on sheep in like the 40s, which… well it’s not very well supported
(Although maybe you don’t care about that, which would be fair. These are fictional cats after all not clinical studies)
You're probably coming from Hbomberguy when he was specifically addressing lunkhead chuds, who pass around the claim that phytoestrogens lower human fertility and sex drive. The "soyboy" claim.
Human studies on the effects of phytoestrogens are pretty lacking overall, but what does exist doesn't back up that claim-- because humans don't graze on red clover in west australia like a sheep. What that means is that it doesn't impact human fertility the way a terrified conservative brain stem thinks it does.
(ESPECIALLY not in a plate of soybeans, which has significantly lower levels of phytoestrogen than red clover.)
But what it DOES do is bind to the estrogen receptors in your body (and acts as a really good antioxidant but that's neither here nor there) which can mean it can act AS estrogen... or as an antagonist.
If you want to know more (especially if you have a background in chemistry, this source talks a lot about the structural similarities between estrogen and phytoestrogen and the mechanism of action) then go dive into PHYTOESTROGENS IN FUNCTIONAL FOOD by Fatih Yildiz, which collects together many of the studies that we do have on the matter and omits controversial ones.
(Plus it's an easy read for such a science-heavy publication imo)
Though I have to stress that my HRT guide is, y'know, fake cats! Nothing in nature replaces modern medicine***, but I wanted to make a good resource for WC fans with trans cats who wanted a little bit of scientific accuracy, wanted to cut herbs that cast Liver Failure 1000 on felines, and could reasonably be found in a temperate environment
***= Except medicinal maggots. Medicinal maggots are literally magical. Nothing debrides necrotic tissue like green bottlefly larvae and as far as I'm concerned they're the closest thing to divinity we have on this earth. And medicinal leeches I love you leeches im so sorry that anyone has ever called you a pest you're cherubic angels and she doesnt deserve this </3

Checking on Freddy
Hello!!! I haven't wrote any of this in a while, and english is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes! Have a nice day/night!
~~~~~~~
Aside from the low music in the halls, The Mega Pizza Plex was quiet. The lights were shining in all types of colors, illuminating the security robot's face that were roaming around the place you've been quite familiar now. You've been work here almost a month here as a general staff member; your job was to substitute the missing colleague. There wasn't a cashier? You replace them, there wasn't a security guard? You were the security guard, like this night. At first it was a little confusing the change of roles, but the pay was really good, so you just let that slide - you even had a discount for Bonnie Bowl! (But not on the entrance of the mall or renting of the shoes).
You sigh and look at your watch except that at least half an hour as passed, but to your surprise it was only 15 minutes. You massage your temples, "Maybe if I don't look at the hour it'll pass faster" you say to yourself, going to the hall where the animatronic's rooms were displayed. Your colleague Dave, before leaving, told you that he already checked Roxanne, Chica and Monty but didn't make it in time for Freddy. But knowing him, he just didn't like Freddy and was too lazy to do it. Dave should get fired.
You stare on the door, lost in thought for a few seconds and hold up your badge to the scanner, making a little approving noise and letting the door slide. Freddy was looking himself at the mirror, noticing your arrival - "Hello Mx Y/N! It's a pleasure to see you" he says in a happy tone, "Hi Freddy, it's a pleasure for me too" you say smiling, and you really meant that! Freddy was always helpful in the job, never complained of anything (except when you bought foods from other places..) and had always a cheerful way of being. You really liked him.
"So, how was your day? Did you encounter any problems?" You asked, gesturing him to sit on the sofa while you went to the room where he charges and took a red toolbox, "I had issues with my lighter on my finger, it isn't working properly" he says, holding up the finger and trying to light it up. You came back to the room and start inspecting it, while doing some questions. "Did you touch something liquid like water or else? A sauce? Did it stopped working on the first try or after some time?" Etc. He was answering all the questions, but you noticed that the more questions you asked, the more less talkative he was, to the point he didn't answer. He was just looking at you repairing his hand (which didn't have the shell on) and since your question didn't get answered, you looked at him "Freddy? Is everything okay?" You asked, finally getting the attention "Oh! Sorry, I was just lost in thought". You thought to yourself if he actually could think but dismissed it, it was advanced AI after all, or maybe he just have the code to think he could..think? You leave the thought. "What were you thinking about?" You say, too much curious at this point, "Huh, just that.." he took his right hand and he put it in comparison with your left hand, meeting your palm, strangely his hand was warm "We're so different. Yet, we're.. alike in some way." Freddy said in a more serious voice. You, aside from the embarrassment of the gesture, you respond "What do you mean?", Not kinda understanding what he meant. He replied "You're alive, and you're a human. I'm alive but.." he didn't finish that sentence. You know were confused, how could he even have an existential crisis? Is he THAT advanced? You feel sorry for him, so you try to think things to cheer him up, in that state he could go worse or the others would decommission him for this. You inhale slowly and look at Freddy, caressing his cheek, slightly warm - "Freddy, I'm sorry for what you're feeling, I really am. But think! You're alive! Isn't that amazing? You can do so many things! You sing and help so many people you can't even them! And don't let me start on how much the kids love you" you smile, looking away from his gaze "And.. you don't know how much I appreciate you. I really do." You finish, finally meeting his eyes that were bright in surprise, you left him speechless. He was supposed to cheer other people, not the other way around...right?
He smiled and caressed you cheek "I appreciate you, and your work, a lot Y/N." He says, putting his hand on your shoulder. You smile bright, you were really happy at his words (and that he was a little better of course!) "Okay! Let me just re-put this on" you put the shell of the hand back in its place "and ta-da! Back as new" Freddy tried to light up his finger and it worked, even better than before! "Great job superstar! I knew you could do it" you give him a smile, then offered your hand "soo.. I have free time, you are the champion of Fazer blast, wanna teach me how to play? I never played it before". Freddy looked at you and when he heard the offer, his eyes seemed like stars - "Of course Mx Y/N! I will gladly accompany you to the greatest adventure on Earth! Or.. space, for that is." Freddy took you hand, and you two went to the Fazer blast chatting.
This is gonna be a good night.

I absolutely love your Nyx and CorNyx fics! Since you're taking prompts, maybe accidentally hurt by friend or knife to the throat with Nyx? I'd love anything you feel like with Nyx. Thanks so much!
Aaa thank you!! Here you go, knife to the throat. I made sure to include Cor into this one as well! I hope you will like this! Feel free to send more requests in the future if you feel like it.
Tumblr media
Fandom: Final Fantasy XV
Characters: Nyx Ulric, Cor Leonis, Libertus Ostium & Crowe Altius
Whumpee: Nyx Ulric
Word count: 1244
Warnings: Mentions of blood, hostage situation
Can be also found on ao3 here
--
Cor was there, Libertus and Crowe a few steps behind.
Rough fingers sunk into Nyx’s hair and yanked his head back, baring his neck. The blade pressed against his throat. His own blade. The one his father had gifted him so long ago, one of the few connections he still had to his family and Galahd. A droplet of blood trickled down Nyx’s neck, staining the collar of his shirt.
“Not a step closer!” the captor ordered.
Nyx gritted his teeth together, a hiss escaping as the kukri — his kukri — dug into his skin and drew more blood. He tugged at his bound wrists but the rope was too tight, there was no room for his hands to move. The friction burned his skin but it didn’t stop him from trying. He couldn’t just sit still and let the situation play out when Cor and his friends were in danger. It had been his own stupidity that he had fallen into the trap, and he didn’t want any of them to pay the price for it.
“It looks to me that you’re outnumbered,” Cor said. Nyx couldn’t actually see him, not with his head forced back in such an awkward angle, but he could hear the underlying fury in his voice. His captor seemed to notice it too with the way he shifted. Nyx went along with the motion in an attempt to avoid getting cut worse. “You should surrender before you get hurt.”
The captor scoffed. “Your friend would be long dead before any of you could touch me.”
“Husband,” Cor deadpanned. Nyx twitched, not having expected that revelation from Cor.
“What?” The captor’s eyes narrowed.
“He’s my husband, you dumbass,” Cor repeated, as calm and professional as ever. Nyx, however, couldn’t say the same about himself as a slightly hysterical laugh bubbled up his throat. Cor never did really internalize the ‘don’t antagonize the hostage taker’ rule well. Nyx would have to have a talk with him about that after all of this was over.
“Husband or not, he’s at my mercy,” the captor growled and wrenched Nyx to his feet. A strangled noise burst from Nyx’s lips as his knees buckled, his legs having gone numb from kneeling. He fell against the captor’s chest with a breathless curse and then the kukri was back on his throat, right under his adam's apple. “Did you bring what I requested?”
“Yes.” That was Libertus. His voice was strained, and when Nyx met his eyes, he saw the annoyance and worry shining from them. “But you ain’t getting it until you let Nyx go.”
“That’s not how this goes,” the captor snarled, and pressed down harder with the blade. ”I get the codes first, then your buddy goes free.”
“Don’t!” Nyx hissed and closed his eyes. He was not going to let them give up the information for him. The flame came to his hand more on instinct than anything. He had no real plan but he knew he couldn’t let this go on. The fire burned and ate the rope. Nyx winced as the flame licked his skin but he tuned it out, knowing it was the only way. “Don’t— do it.”
“Keep your mouth shut!” the captor growled in his ear. Nyx clenched his jaw but stayed silent. He tugged at the ropes experimentally. Almost there. “The codes, now. Or the deal is off.”
“If you kill him, you will lose your only advantage,” Cor pointed out. “And then there won’t be anything standing between you and me.”
“Us,” Crowe corrected with a dangerous glint to her eyes. “He’ll have to face all of us.”
Nyx pulled his hands apart with a swift move and the rope gave away. The captor made a confused noise but had no time to do anything before Nyx thrust his elbow back into the man’s midsection and used his other hand to wrench the kukri away from his neck. Someone shouted something, maybe Crowe, but Nyx had no time to listen as he twisted himself out of the man’s grip.The man’s eyes flashed with something dark and he made a swipe at Nyx with the kukri. Nyx caught the arm but the man’s momentum had them crashing against a wall. A strained gasp left his lips as they fought over the knife. The flame was back in his hand, burning through the captor’s jacket. The man pulled away from him with a pained shout and then Cor and his friends were there to restrain him.
Nyx slumped against the wall and released a breath through gritted teeth. His hands stung, rubbed raw from the ropes and burned from the flame. Cradling his hands close, Nyx slid down until he was sitting on the floor, knees to his chest.
“Nyx!” Nyx’s head snapped up to see Cor drop to one knee in front of him. There was a potion in his hands and he said nothing as he broke it over his hands. Nyx flexed his hands and fingers, watching as the injuries were healed for the most part. He tried not to flinch when Cor reached forward and tilted his head back to inspect the damage done to his throat. The potion had healed those wounds too, but the blood that remained on his skin must have been a sight.
“I’m fine,” Nyx said and took Cor’s hand in his. “I’ve had worse.”
“Doesn’t mean we like it,” Libertus pointed out as he walked up to them. He offered Nyx his kukri back. “Crowe knocked Mr. Bad Guy unconscious.”
Nyx looked at the kukri for a moment before taking it from his friend. There were no traces of blood on the blade which meant Libertus — or one of the others — had wiped it clean first. Nyx appreciated it. He ran his finger along the flat side of the blade with a sigh. It felt good, familiar to have the kukri back to himself. “Thanks.”
“Anytime, brother,” Libertus said and patted him on the shoulder.
“We can never let you go anywhere by yourself anymore!” Crowe exclaimed as she appeared by their side. She put her hands on her hips as she looked at Nyx with disapproval. “You just keep attracting trouble no matter where you go!”
Nyx shrugged, a small smile on his face. “I need to keep you on your toes, don’t I?”
“You’re an idiot.” Crowe shook her head but her expression softened after a moment. “Let’s get you out of here and checked out by a doctor.”
“Never said I wasn’t,” Nyx chuckled. He could have very well stood up on his own but he let Cor help him upright and support him on one side.“So, we’re telling everyone we’re married now, huh? Even the ones who take us hostage?”
Cor shrugged. “Felt appropriate.”
“Felt appropriate?” Nyx asked incredulously. “You called him dumbass, too. You know that’s not exactly what they tell you to do in the guide book.”
“The book doesn’t tell the hostage to take matters into his own hands and burn himself while at it either,” Cor murmured. Nyx chuckled and leaned his head on Cor’s shoulder.
“Thanks,” he said. “For coming for me.”
Crowe scoffed from where she was walking ahead of them. “Dumbass, of course we came for you. Someone needs to make sure you don’t get yourself killed, Hero.”
Nyx snorted and shook his head at that. “Right, of course.”

House Isekai: A Realm Reborn - Part 1, Old Places and New Faces (1 of 2)
House Isekai ARR Masterlist Here
Tumblr media
Upon their return to Fodlan, Kazuma, Rean, Towa, and Aigis have found that it has changed drastically. Whether it was for better or worse, was unknown.
All they knew was to find Sitri, who had requested House Isekai's aid...
[Life at Garreg Mach Monastery - Fire Emblem: Three Houses OST]
Kazuma, Towa, Rean, and Aigis walked awkwardly through the crowds of students and guards, trying not to stare at their technology.
(Aigis) "Their devices seem...eerily similar to yours, Rean."
(Rean) "Arcus units and Soldats..."
Rean looked at the bipedal golems with swords and shields walking through the courtyard. It looked like students were trying to use them properly.
(Kazuma) "Soldats? Those things kinda like Valimar?"
(Towa) "Yes, but far easier to produce and a lot less strong, to put it simply."
(Rean) "How did they even get something like this? In our world, they took so many years to develop, alongside orbal technology..."
(Towa) "And their version of arcus units, didn't they look like the crystals from the Zanado tower?"
(Aigis) "Perhaps we should ask these questions to Sitri. Though, I am unsure of how to find her, since we do not have the proper clearance."
(Kazuma) "Hmph. Not to mention we aren't students, I'm pretty sure we're weirding people out just by being here."
Towa turned to where the Cathedral used to be, only to see a massive hangar full of the bipedal golems and guards from all three nations populating it.
(Towa) "The Cathedral was going to be my guess, but I don't think that's an option."
(Rean) "Maybe the listening hall?"
(Kazuma) "Are we even going to be allowed up there?"
(Familliar Woman's voice) "...Oh my goodness! It really is you guys!"
Everyone turned around to the woman's voice and were greeted by an old friend.
Tumblr media
(Kazuma) "Merce-! HOLY SHIT!"
Mercedes was accompanied by two of the massive golems, armed with a shield and lance just as big as them.
(Rean) "WOAH!"
(Towa) "EEP!"
(Mercedes) "Haha, oh, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to frighten anyone!"
(Aigis) "It is amazing how that got behind us without anyone hearing them-"
(Rean) "U-Um, it's good to see you again Mercedes!"
(Towa) "AHEM! What are you doing here?"
(Kazuma) "More importantly, why are those golem things following you around?!"
(Mercedes) "I am simply a visitor, just like you four! Sitri thought it best to have bodyguards accompany me. Those bodguards happen to be the form of Knights."
(Towa) "...Knights sure have changed since we last saw them, huh?"
(Aigis) "Speaking of which, do you happen to know where Sitri is?"
(Mercedes) "Indeed I do! Would you like me to take you to her?"
(Rean) "Yes please."
Rean looked at the golems called "Knights" and couldn't help but feel nervous.
Now he knew how it felt to have Valimar follow around the old House Isekai.
(Mercedes) "Please, follow me!"
Everyone nodded and let Mercedes guide the way, the Knights following closely behind.
(Aigis) "It seems Fodlan's technology has greatly improved since we left."
(Mercedes) "It has, my mind is really having trouble keeping up nowadays. It seems every other month some new device for communication is put out!"
(Aigis) "That's a familiar feeling..."
(Kazuma) "So...everything's been fine since House Isekai left?"
Mercedes stopped outside the main hall's entrance and turned to the knights.
(Mercedes) "Worry not, these four protected me during the Five Year War. I will return shortly."
The Knights' heads nodded.
They went up into the building of the main entrance hall, making their way up to the second floor of Garreg Mach. The knights remained outdoors and Mercedes looked around her to make sure they were alone.
(Mercedes) "To be quite honest, it has been a bit...troubling. There's a host of new problems ever since this new partnership between the empire, kingdom, and alliance began. But, that shouldn't be anything you have to worry about! Actually, why are you here?"
(Rean) "We received a call from Sitri, requesting help from us. I guess the four of us were the only ones able to respond."
(Mercedes) "I see. If she requested House Isekai, then I am not sure it is a good thing...Oh? I believe she's speaking to someone inside."
[Arcana Code - Fire Emblem: Three Houses OST]
(Sitri) “Then let’s get started. I have called you five here, because you are the best and brightest Garreg Mach Monastery has to offer."
Sitri put her hand to her chest and closed her eyes.
(Sitri) "We live in troubled times, as you can no doubt see for yourselves. Even with the advancement of our technology ever since the calamity two years ago, tensions between our nations remain at an all time high."
The students looked at each other, not sure of where this speech was going.
(Sitri) "Garreg Mach Monastery was created to represent the very best our nations had to offer, and pave a way for our youth to shape our world. That is why you all are here.
Of our three Houses, you have been chosen for an experimental class, and will be leading from example."
(Stefan) "E-Experimental how?"
(Sitri) "Surely you have heard of House Isekai?"
(Helena) "Think I remember hearing rumors about them with my old mercenary group."
(Astrid) "Those group of weirdos and undead!?"
(Kazuma's Voice) "Who are they calling weir-"
(Towa's Voice) "K-Kazuma! They'll hear us!"
(Kairos) "I only know from what I read from reports. They were the fourth house of Garreg Mach, right?"
Sitri nodded.
(Sitri) "They were a group of people that came from beyond our world, all with different histories and personalities. The reason I bring them up is because they worked with all three classes before the Five Year War began. And they were the ones who stopped the calamity from destroying our world."
(Elizabeth) ...?! "Hold a moment, Lady Sitri! Have we been called to work with these off worlders?! They have no place in meddling in the affairs of Fodlan!"
(Kairos) "Hmph. For once I agree with her, this matter should be left to us-"
Sitri raised a hand and interrupted them.
(Sitri) "These "off-worlders" had the opportunity to leave us to our fates when the calamity was at its worst. Instead, they chose to stay and fight for our sake. I trust them with my life. And so do your nations' leaders."
(Everyone) "..."
(Sitri) "Prepare yourselves to travel out, grab any essential gear and report back. We will continue the briefing once you are more situated."
[Musica Universalis - Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers OST]
The students quietly left the room, keeping their thoughts to themselves.
They were too preoccupied to notice that they had walked by Kazuma, Rean, Aigis, and Towa.
(Mercedes) "I have my own business to attend to unfortunately, so I will see you all later!"
Mercedes bowed while everyone else waved goodbye, and she followed the students down.
Once they went downstairs, Rean was the first to enter the room.
Sitri took a deep breath and smiled when she saw them.
(Sitri) "Hello, everyone. I hope that speech I gave was alright."
(Towa) "I like to think so, but I can definitely see why the kids are so confused."
(Aigis) "You do not seem shocked that we are here."
(Sitri) "Well, I did have someone looking out the door for me."
She motioned behind her, Sothis materializing in front of everyone and waving.
(Sothis) "Besides, with how loud Kazuma is, I don't think it was too hard guessing who it was."
Kazuma rolled his eyes.
(Kazuma) "Yeah yeah, whatever."
(Rean) "I see you've been keeping yourself busy!"
Sitri sighed again, though sounding far more tired.
(Sitri) "You have NO idea...I hadn't realized how exhausting being a professor is, not to mention leading the reconstruction effort."
(Towa) "Oh, so that's why Garreg Mach is active again! You're doing such a good job!"
(Sitri) "Thank you, Towa. There's far more that needs to be done, but we've been getting by."
(Kazuma) "So, what exactly did you need us here for? We got your message."
(Sothis) "Well, a number of things really, but we should get to the most troubling news first."
(Sitri) "Right. We'll have time to catch up later. It's about the Zanado Tower."
Everyone straightened their backs and frowned.
[Spider Web - Fire Emblem: Three Houses OST]
(Sothis) "We've been getting reports from the guards that...strange creatures are emerging from it."
(Kazuma) "That's descriptive. What makes them strange?"
(Sitri) "They seem to have intelligence but...they're nothing like we've ever seen before. Claude is in charge of the area around Zanado, so he ordered his men to just keep observing. These creatures never get too far, on account that they are killed by an unknown group."
(Aigis) "Do we have any visual references for any of these?"
Sitri nodded, and pulled out a crystal-like device.
It appeared similar to a tablet, but the information was displayed floating above it, which Sitri began swiping at it, making it show a picture of the creature.
Tumblr media
(Rean) "What in the...?"
(Aigis) "It does not appear to be a Shadow."
(Kazuma) "Hmph. Nothing I've seen in my world."
(Sothis) "To be honest, we were hoping at least one from every group showed up to confirm this or not, but for the time being we can only guess it's from a world none of us are familiar with."
(Towa) "But, I thought we stopped the Tower from continuing to rip apart other worlds?"
(Sitri) "We did. And that's why we're concerned."
(Sothis) "It doesn't seem like it's having any overall negative effects on Fodlan, but this only showed up recently."
(Sitri) "I put the message out a week ago, and if you all only now received it..."
(Rean) "Then we shouldn't waste any time. We need to investigate immediately."
(Sothis) "Our thoughts exactly. Which is why..."
Sothis turned to the door and disappeared, the students of Garreg Mach arriving back in the room, each carrying a small bag with them.
The students realized that there were more people in the room now.
(Astrid) "Wow, they look weird."
(Elizabeth) "Astrid! Where are your manners?!"
(Stefan) "Sorry about tha-...Wait a second..."
(Helena) "Hmph, maybe that's why. Are you guys from House Isekai?"
(Kairos) "Wait, these are supposed to be the people who saved us?"
(Rean) "Well, obviously we're not the full class but we were the core members. I'm Rean Schwarzer of Class VII."
(Kazuma) "Kazuma."
(Towa) "I'm Towa Herschel, it's a pleasure to meet the new generation of Garreg Mach's finest!"
(Aigis) "Aigis of S.E.E.S. Hello."
(Astrid) "Huh. Don't look like much to me."
(Stefan) "Well, we are pleased to meet House Isekai in the flesh after all the stories we've heard!"
Helena looked to the others. Astrid was frowning while Kairos and Elizabeth looked mutually revolted.
(Helena) "Least two of us are. Good job on getting those two to agree on something, though."
(Towa) "I-I'm sorry?"
(Kairos) "Lady Sitri, with all due respect, this is something that WE need to do ourselves. Getting outside help-"
(Sitri) "-Is necessary, considering what we're going up against. We all will be visiting the Zanado Tower in order to investigate the strange creatures coming out of it."
While Sitri recounted what she told House Isekai, the members of the old House looked at each other.
(Kazuma) "The hell do they got against us?"
(Aigis) "I am unsure. Did we do something wrong?"
(Towa) "Rean..."
(Rean) "I know, Towa. Well, I kind of have a suspicion."
(Aigis/Kazuma) ?
(Rean) "When my country occupied another, we were seen as meddling outsiders who had no business interfering in their affairs, causing all sorts of grief for every citizen involved..."
(Kazuma) "But it's not like our Houses have been taking over the territories here-"
(Towa) "True, but it's not like we had zero impact on the world either. I mean, just look at their technology! I think it's safe to say without us, they would not have progressed so fast."
(Aigis) "That is...a fair point."
Rean took another look at the students.
(Rean) "They remind me a little of my own class. And if that's taught me anything, is that they'll come around eventually. It's not like we all got along straight away either."
(Sitri) "...Now, without any futher delay.-"
Sitri closed her eyes for a moment as a portal slowly began to open behind them.
(Sitri) "I will take the lead for now. Everyone, please follow me."
They nodded and Sitri and the old members of House Isekai went in first.
(Elizabeth) "Ugh, this will NOT go well..."
(Kairos) "It's not like we can say no to Lady Sitri. We'll have to follow along for now."
(Astrid) "I mean, I don't think they seem that bad, just weird."
(Stefan) "We have to give them a chance at least!"
(Helena) "Fodlan's been through worse anyway. What's the worst that could happen?"
...
Meanwhile, inside the Zanado Tower...
Class VII stepped through the portal and found themselves in a completely alien environment.
Tumblr media
(Juna) "Woah..."
(Kurt) "What in the...?!"
(Altina) "Hm...The structure does not match any known signatures from our world."
(Ash) "Think that much is obvious."
(Musse) "Where's Instructor Rean?"
(Juna) "Uh, I think the better question is how do we even leave?"
(Kurt) "There appears to be a doorway ahead. Perhaps we can take that?"
(Ash) "Beats standing around."
Ash and Kurt moved first, with the rest of Class VII following..."
...
Through the scope of a sniper, a helmeted soldier slowly watched Class VII exit and wander the facility.
He was accompanied by three other soldiers, all wearing the same helmet and suit, with slight variations on their armor making them distinct from one another.
They were extremely high up on the platforms as they continued to fly past them, yet they still made an effort to remain out of sight.
(Buck) "What do you see Romeo?"
(Romeo) "Five kids. All wearing the same uniform, humans from the looks of it. Carrying some weird lookin weapons too."
Dutch lowered his weapon and sighed.
(Dutch) "Finally, some good news."
(Mickey) "Is it? How the heck did they even get here?"
(Buck) "One thing at a time. Right now, we go and get those kids to follow us, before whatever the hell those things were finds them first."
(Romeo) "Or, we could just find the exit instead."
(Mickey) "And leave them to die?"
(Dutch) "Really?"
(Buck) "..."
(Romeo) "Jeez, tough crowd."
(Buck) "Just shut up, Romeo. Let's get moving."
Everyone picked up their equipment and followed after Class VII.
(Romeo) "Besides, the weapons on them were-"
(Buck) "Romeo. Remember when I told you to shut up?"
(Romeo) "Yeah?"
(Buck) "Consider that a standing order."
...
(Amber) "Hm..."
Amber dusted off some of the crates around her and found food inside.
Although they packaging was covered in dust, they appeared to be fresh.
(Venti) "Ugh, finally food! I'm starving!"
Duvalie walked past Venti and her face scrunched up seeing how fast he stuffed it down his throat.
(Duvalie) "Tch, don't let that dust stop you from inhaling the food."
(Jean) "I suppose if it tastes alright...?"
(Kaeya) "No need to see if it's centuries old or poisonous, just go 'head and eat it."
(Lisa) "Perhaps we should worry about this food situation later? I do believe I saw another Abyss Mage run this direction."
(Diluc) "Then we have no time to waste."
Diluc grabbed his sword and moved the direction Lisa pointed.
(Duvalie) "Right!"
She drew her sword and shield and tagged along right beside him.
Even though they had found Duvalie by herself in this strange tower, she was already feeling like a part of the group.
Though Diluc didn't want to admit that. He already saw how ecstatic she was seeing Jean and himself fight. Though, a part of him wondered where she came from. She certainly wasn't from their world...
...
Outside the Zanado Tower...
Sitri stepped through the portal first, and the former members of House Isekai, and the Garreg Mach students came in right behind.
Drawing the Sword of the Creator, she took a deep breath before turning to the group.
(Sitri) "Students of Garreg Mach, begin the mission!"

125 How I Met Your Mother Prompts
More prompts this one is mega long but broken up by character. I think it’s a pretty good mix of funny and angsty. Break at 15.
Tumblr media
Barney Stinson
1 “You know what NAME needs to do. He needs to stop being sad. When I get sad, I stop being sad, and be awesome instead. True story.”
2 “A lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth.”
3 “ It's going to be legen...wait for it...and I hope you're not lactose-intolerant cause the second half of that word is...dairy!”
4 “Suit up!”
5 “Believe it or not, I was not always as I am today.”
6 “I realized that I'm searching, searching for what I really want in life. And you know what? I have absolutely no idea what that is.”
7 “Every Halloween, I bring a spare costume, in case I strike out with the hottest boy/girl at the party. That way, I have a second chance to make a first impression.”
8 “Whatever you do in this life, it’s not legendary unless your friends are there to see it.”
9 “Three days. We wait three days to call a man/woman, because that's how long Jesus wants us to wait... True story.”
10 “There’s three rules of cheating: 1. It’s not cheating if you’re not the one who’s married. 2. It’s not cheating if his/her name has two adjacent vowels. 3. And it's not cheating if he’s/she’s from a different area code.”
11 “I peed in an alley which happened to have a church which I did not see because I was drunk.”
12 “I'm such a mess. Why do you even like me?” “I guess, because you're almost as messed up as I am.”
13 “In my body, where the shame gland should be, there is a second awesome gland. True story.”
14 “Do you have some puritanical hang up on prostitution? Dude, it’s the world’s oldest profession.”
15 “Here’s the mini-cherry on top of the regular cherry on top of the sundae of awesomeness that is my life.”
16 “God, it’s me, NAME. What up? I know we don’t talk much, but I know a lot of guys/girls call out your name because of me.”
17 “Okay, pep talk! You can do this, but to be more accurate, you probably can’t. You’re way out of practice and he’s/she’s way too hot for you. So, remember, it’s not about scoring. It’s about believing you can do it, even though you probably can’t. Go get ‘em, tiger!”
18 “De — wait for it — nied! Denied! We’re goin’ out tomorrow night.”
19 “Step six is called purg— wait for it. Keep waiting. Keep waiting for all of eternity only to discover that there’s no escape —atory.”
20 “I think tonight is going to be de — wait for it — lightful.”
21 “Ted, tonight is gonna be — wait for it — dary! Wait, no, that’s not it. How do I usually say it?”
22 “You watch, NAME, tonight is going to be legen— it’s the night we stole a camel! Which means it will be full of drama —dary.”
23 “I’m just gonna grab this star to put on top of the tree. It’s gonna be legend— wait for it —merry.”
24 “Haaaave you met NAME?”
25 “Challenge accepted!”
Robin Scherbatsky
26 “Oh, come on, ref! I haven't seen that much hooking go unpunished since my last trip to Vegas.“
27 “Just be yourself. Say something nice.” “Which one? I can't do both.”
28 “Before you know it, you'll be marrying a man/woman who once ate a vanilla-scented candle!” “That was on me. I shouldn't have left it in the kitchen. Though, it was lit. Man, he/she dumb.”
29 “Destined? Aren't you tired of waiting for destiny, NAME? Isn't it time to make your own destiny?“
30 “NAME was great.” “Exactly, and you threw it all away to chase after some hot piece of ass.” “You mean you?” “Thank you!”
31 “Oh, we're busting apple bags? I can bust apple bags.“
32 “NAME, I am not ready for them to find out about us.” “Then you're gonna have to stay in there for the entire trilogy. Don't worry, it's only 382 minutes.” “Nerd!”
33 “You know NAME? Been thinking about it. Guess it's kind of nice you're such a bad-ass.” “It's pretty bad-ass you're so nice, NAME.”
34 “14 seconds! And already some dingdong is stepping up, thinking he can get some of this broke off.”
35 “But timing is a bitch.”
36 “Well, maybe this isn't a breakup. Maybe this is two friends getting back together.“
37 “There's something between us. Maybe my head was saying, 'nip it in the bud', because my heart was saying something else ...”
38 “I just finished a seven-day cleanse.” “I thought you just started that yesterday.” “I finished early, okay?”
39 “NAME! I just had a great idea!” “Oh, do whatever you want to me, just don't wake me up.”
40 “Okay, I've missed you. Not in a 'we're gonna make out' way, not even in an 'I forgive you' way. Just in an 'I've missed you' way.”
41 “I may not love you the way you love me, but I do love you.”
42 “But ... umm.”
43 “Why am I constantly looking for reasons not to be happy?”
44 “Oh, that’s right. I’m alone.”
45 “I’m gonna give you summer teeth ... some’re here, some’re there.”
46 “You can’t run back to the past because it’s familiar.”
47 “Nobody asked you, NAME.”
48 “It’s one thing to not want something. It’s another to be told you can’t have it.”
49 "I am never going to have closure. Okay, closure doesn't exist."
50 “You are going to miss out on something great.”
Ted Mosby
51 "If you're not scared then you're not taking a chance. And if you're not taking a chance, then what the hell are you doing anyway?"
52 “You can ask the universe for signs all you want but ultimately we'll only see what we want to see...when we're ready to see it.”
53 "Nothing good happens after 2:00 am… when 2:00 am rolls around, just go home and go to sleep."
54 "The more you fight it, the worse it’s gonna get. It’s like when your car slides on ice, you steer into the skid."
55 "Sorry, Peter. We're grown ups now, we can't fly to Nevrland with you anymore."
56 "I wound up shame-eating the whole pizza. I woke up all greasy and sweaty. My sheets looked like what they wrap deli sandwiches in. Maybe I should join a gym. Do you go to a gym?"
57 "People make fun of the guy/girl who stays home every night doing nothing, but the truth is that guy/girl is a genius.”
58 “Love doesn't make sense! You can't logic your way into or out of it. Love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it or else we're lost and love is dead, and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do.”
59 “Everyone has an opinion on how long it takes to recover from a breakup.”
60 “There are a lot of little reasons why the big things in our lives happen.”
61 “There are two big days in any love story: the day you meet the guy/girl of your dreams and the day you marry him/her.”
62 ““I’m crazy about you. I think we should be together. What do you say?” “Yes. No. Maybe.” “Those are the three options.”
63 “The littlest thing can cause a ripple effect that changes your life.”
64 “It's kind of insane how much happened in just a day and a half.”
65 “Whether a gesture's charming or alarming, depends on how it's received.”
66 “Because sometimes even if you know how something's gonna end that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride.”
67 “Shouldn't we hold out for the person who doesn't just tolerate our little quirks but actually kinda likes them?”
68 “I used to be in such a hurry all the time. Everything was so urgent. Now I figured, if it's going to happen it'll happen when it happens. I'm not going anywhere, he’s/she's not going anywhere. What's the rush, right?”
69 “I think for the most part if you're really honest with yourself about what you want out of life, life gives it to you.”
70 “We spend so much effort trying to keep parts of our lives hidden, even from our closest friends, that in those rare times when we do open up, it's amazing how minor those secrets all end up being.”
71 “You may think your only choices are to swallow your anger or throw it in someone's face, but there's a third option: You can just let it go, and only when you do that is it really gone and you can move forward.”
72 “I'm sorry, when I'm excited I abbreviate words I shouldn't.”
73 “We gotta wait for the real thing, no matter how tough it gets.”
74 “When you believe in people, people come through.”
75 “If you love something, you can never let it go. Not even for a second. Or it's gone forever.“

77 “Turns out, when you projectile vomit on skates, you roll right into the spray.“
78 “NAME, if you asked a hundred people: 'Who's the worst person you could possibly date?' They'd all say 'your therapist', except the ones saying 'NAME'.”
79 “Sometimes our best decisions are the ones that don't make any sense at all.“
80 “We've always been a trio! We're right up there with Batman and Robin and Alfred. Romeo and Juliet and the apothecary. Salt and pepper and cumin.“
Lily Aldrin
81 “You guys dated before. That time counts. The clock doesn't reset to zero. It un-pauses from where you left off.”
82 “We struggle so hard to hold on to these things that we know are gonna disappear eventually. And that’s really noble.”
83 “You can’t just skip ahead to where you think your life should be.”
84 “I know it's a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it's a mistake but you don't really know it's a mistake because the only way to really know it's a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say 'yep, that was a mistake.' So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you'd go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not.”
85 “Yes, I'm in a rotten mood. No, I don't want to talk about it. Yes, this has booze in it. No, it's not my first.”
86 “The 'no more surprises'-thing is the best part of being married.”
87 “So, what do you want to do tonight? Drink ourselves blind, set a car on fire? Oh, watch a movie that doesn't start with a desk lamp jumping on top of a capital 'I'?”
88 “Baby, you're like 20 slutty chicks all rolled into one.” “Sweet-talk is not gonna change my mind!”
89 “So this is what you guys do? You invite other couples over for dinner, to judge them and feel superior?” “Oh, grow up, NAME, that's why any couple invites anyone over ever!”
90 “I think my soul just threw up a little bit.“
91 “Your heart's talking to you, NAME. Do you have the guts to listen to it?”
92 “I don't care if the dishes aren't done, okay? If you care, you do it.” “Great, then I don't care if you have an orgasm. If you care, you do it.”
93 “Who wants hot-wings?” “I'm in... or maybe we should just pour hot-sauce on NAME, since he's/she’s a total chicken.”
94 “I hate how you're always right.” “It's my best, and most annoying, trait.“
95 “Sex now, we'll do the foreplay after.“
96 “NAME check it! Three blond babies drinking bad-decision-juice at eight o'clock.”
97 “If you keep lying to me, if you keep cutting me out of decisions, if you keep using words like winning and losing when you talk about our marriage, you are going to lose me.”
98 “Why not just say goodbye to the bad things?”
99 “Say goodbye to all the times you felt lost, to all the times it was a no instead of a yes, to all the scrapes and bruises, to all the heartache.”
100 “Where’s the poop, NAME? Where’s the poop?”
Marshall Eriksen
101 “Hey I have given up peeing in the shower for you!”
102 “Why does he/she keep doing this? He meets them. He/She likes them way too much. He/She goes way too big too soon. He/She ends up blowing it. I can't take this any more. He's/She’s fallen in love so many times now.”

107 “Being in a relationship is hard. And committing, making sacrifices it's hard. But if it's the right person, it's easy. Looking at that guy/girl, and knowing he’s/she's all you really want out of life, that should be the easiest thing in the world. And if it's not like that then he’s/she's not the one.”
108 “Here's the thing, NAME. I'm snuggly. You're not. Who wouldn't want to snuggle up next to this business on a Sunday morning? Wrapped in comfort and it's raining outside and there's muffins warming in the oven. I'm cuddly bitch. Deal with it.”
109 “He’s:She's never seen Star Wars?! NAME, the only people in the universe who haven't seen Star Wars are the characters in Star Wars. And that's cause they lived them, NAME! That's cause they lived the Star Wars.”
110 “Love died. The love that made you all believe in love, that's dead now.”
111 “I’ve never asked NAME to do anything ‘no questions asked’ because I never wanted to. He’s/She’s the love of my life. I never keep anything from him/her.”
112 “Happy Slapsgiving!”
113 “This is what I miss about being in a couple. I always had someone to go to concerts with, or farmer's market, or brunch. God, I miss brunch!” “Well, I guess you could - well, you could try going to brunch alone.” “Oh, you don't think I've tried?” [FLASHBACK]  “Table for one.” “One... Couple?” “Um, no, just me.” “Really? For brunch?” “You're right. Who am I kidding?” [Leaves restaurant. End of Flashback] “Oh, the Popover Pantry! That place is great. Can we go get brunch tomorrow?” “Of course, sweetie.” “Can I go with you guys?” “Really? For brunch?”
114 “That’s life, you know. We never end up where you thought you wanted to be.”
115 “That cake. Best cake I ever had. Seriously, my stomach was like, ‘Hey bro, I don’t know what you’re eating cause I don’t have any eyes but it’s basically awesome, so keep sending it down Gullet Alley.’”
116 “Revenge fantasies never work out the way you want.”
117 “I’m a good boyfriend/girlfriend in my sleep.”
118 “You have to let me dance my own battles.”
119 “One good deed leads to another and another.”
120 “Look at us, riding around in a limo, eating hot dogs…it’s like we’re the president.”
121 “All hail beercules!”
122 “I don’t know what to do with my hands. What do I normally do with my hands?”
