some basic stuff for gal's wardrobe. i tend to think that because of how the legs move three piece clothing is the easiest and most comfortable to put on and otherwise move in. i think the hardest part is figuring out what she would have style wise and what shed be able to get tailored vs what shed have scrounged. other than hoodies and tshirts pretty much everything has to be tailored, unfortunatly.

Finding music through samples that other artists use is a really fun thing to do and I think the best artist for doing this with (for me at least) is Dean Blunt. Aside from the fact that like I’m such a massive fan of his music it is kind of ridiculous how he samples stuff like it’s not even weird or super out there necessarily but it’s just like… idk. every song he samples is just so cool and also just a good song on its own and I have a few bands that I want to talk about that I found through these samples. 1/4
The Pastels
Tumblr media
Ok like the most iconic sample Dean Blunt has yes I know - but also "100" is a hit for a reason and "Over My Shoulder" is like so gorgeous and Dean Blunt's additions to the track are so good. I think I heard this song at first just out of the blue and I was like "oh my god. The Dean Blunt song!" but last summer I actually took the time and started getting into "Truckload of Trouble" as a whole. I have very fond memories of this album from spending a weekend up at a cottage with my friends - specifically, there was a moment on the trip where most of us were in the car going to get groceries and "Firebell Ringing" came on. We had a group playlist sort of thing and I sort of felt bad because I think there were a disproportionate amount of tracks from me on there. Part of the reason for this saturation was because I put like 6-7 songs by The Pastels on there. At this time I was really obsessed with Firebell Ringing - mostly because Katrina Mitchell's vocals were really catchy and the repeating sequence at the end of the track was cool too, although, maybe not the best for a car full of people wanting to hear their own music (maybe I was just nervous about my song suggestion getting good reception though). As time went on I slowed down listening to The Pastels a fair bit but certain songs are still really incredible to this day. Recently, I have found myself gravitating to "Nothing to Be Done" alot. I think I might just really love back and forth vocals in general and on this track its really lovely. It really doesn't feel like a love song from the first few seconds but immediately when the verse starts it just transforms into this very loving track. I don't think The Pastels are the most talented musicians, and a fair number of their tracks definitely fall flat for me; but I still really enjoy returning to them on occassion and listening to the ones I really love.

The crewmate tries to give the captain more space in this small closet
"Sorry for this situation captain...b-but at least it's more quiet in here" (small shy chuckle)
Tumblr media
One Piece Dating Simulator - Law x fem!reader
Pairing: Law x Kura | Word count: 600 | Warnings: none
A/N: My dearest Kurage, I felt cheeky and made it a bit more immersive for you, hope you don't mind me using your username :3 HAPPY VALENTINES
Dividers by cafekitsune ~
Tumblr media
So here you are - stuck in a cramped closet with your heart beating fast and a clump in your throat. Law's about to speak, however you manage to initiate in breaking the ice first.
"Sorry for this situation captain...b-but at least it's more quiet in here", you let out a small chuckle, shy and afluster from this overly specific predicament you find yourself in. All you hear is the man push out an irked sigh and he shifts uncomfortably in place.
Law utters: "Quiet, but bothersome nonetheless. Sharing enclosed spaces with another person isn't really on my daily schedule." Although he said this, after a short pause he looks at you with a softened gaze.
"But I'm not opposed it to be you, Kura-ya."
Silence. Nothing but awkward silence fills the closet and you can't bring yourself to answer his statement. Time is no longer a concept as you only hear Law's somewhat faster paced breathing. Is he nervous? A highly rare occassion to witness such behaviour in him.
You can sense his body moving your way. The faint of light beaming through the closet's cracks enframes his austere face and you can discern a warm smile crossing his lips as he approaches you. It is then where Law whispers: "Not opposed in the slightest."
The wall behind you catches you from walking backwards any further and an arm cages you in as it props above you. The warmth of Law's body envelops you, for he stands only inches away now.
This took a turn you cannot fathom at all, your breath catches in your throat and your mind goes for a spin. It's all the same for your Captain, his steel eyes staring down at you - now that the both of you are "alone", there is a point he wishes to prove, though rather through actions than through words.
His free hand reaches for your face, cupping your cheek, the gentle and soft circulations of his thumb lulling you into a state of spirales in your head. The tall and slender frame is forced to bend down a bit to take a proper look at you, Law slouches and leans closer.
Albeit his hesitance slowing down his advances, he gathers all the courage he can muster - his eyes seeking yours, acting as silent ask for confirmation that you're not against this.
Inch after inch his lips aim for yours, wanting nothing more but to give this sweet and delectable cherry skin of yours a taste of what he's withheld from you - something he'd never dare to speak out aloud, for he just realized it is now or never.
Almost - closer, they graze your cupid's bow and-
"7 MINUTES ARE OVER GUYS", the closet door slams open - an overly cheerful Shachi shamelessly tore open a rift in your little world forming around you. Law, who is more than displeased with how this ended, slowly turns to face the orca hatted idiot, a thunderstorm roiling above the surgeon's head.
Someone is going to die tonight. "Shachi, I suppose you run for your life now . .", the Captain growls, a menacing grin flashing his teeth as he cautiously breaks away from you, to hunt down the fool who foiled his plans.
The last thing you hear is Shachi's screams of terror and Law's room expanding across the submarine.
However, he hasn't forgotten that heart fluttering moment with you - hence he's determined to make it up to you, for he didn't make it to prove his point on Valentine's day.

Hi, would you mind going into details about the procedure to save an opioid OD patient? In what occassions do they need to be stomach-pumped and would they need respiratory assistance after given Naxolone? How long would they be kept in the ICU(?) Or hospital?
Thsnk you.
Sure:
When humans get a relatively minor injury, after an initial amount of time where the injury is very painful, the pain kind of dies off.
This is because humans produce chemicals (enkephalin and endorphin) that suppress pain in the brain. Once you know you're hurt, you really don't need to keep knowing about it, and it might actually be evolutionary advantageous if the pain reduces enough to, say, run away from the tiger that just bit you or be able to walk back to your camp/other humans for help.
Now, these chemicals work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain, which tells the brain to stop feeling the pain as much. Humans, being the smarticle particles that we are, found out that some plants produce chemicals that also bond to those opioid receptors. If you prepare these plants in a certain way and consume them, they reduce pain on command- you don't have to rely on the body itself making it's own endorphins and enkephalins, you can just throw some at them whenever- and that feels good even if there's no pain to reduce.
Unfortunately, if too many of the available opioid receptors are blocked, you get the side effect of the brain essentially forgetting to breathe (called respiratory depression). You're really never going to get to this point with just the endorphins and enkaphalins, but if you're throwing a lot of outside (exogenous) opioids at those receptors, it is a pretty significant risk. Since you need air to live, an opioid overdose can be deadly if not handled immediately.
To correct the overdose, you first correct the problem of not breathing- you do this first, because that's what's going to cause the most damage (usually to the brain) if not immediately addressed. This is generally done with rescue breaths.
If you have it, you also administer naloxone. Naloxone binds a lot more strongly to opioid receptors in the brain than most opioids, but since doesn't cause the respiratory depression, it can pretty much kick the opioid molecules off the receptors and sit on them, which has the effect of causing the person to come to and start breathing again.
BUT- it doesn't last all that long- pretty much just 30-60 minutes. You really have to keep monitoring the patient and administering naloxone every time they nod off.
In an emergency department setting, if the person experienced a "simple" overdose (where they stopped breathing and required naloxone, but no brain damage was immediately apparent from the lack of oxygen) and has been given naloxone, you'd typically want to watch them at least 6 hours before allowing them to leave. At that point it is reasonably certain that they are not going to slip back into overdose once the naloxone has worn off. In the emergency department setting they may administer activated charcoal if they knew the overdose was ingested orally, but they wouldn't necessarily remove anything from the stomach.
If they do nod off again and stop breathing, the emergency department staff will usually set up something called a naloxone drip. This is IV naloxone given at a steady rate- usually about 2/3 of the original dose that the person needed to wake up again, given over the course of an hour, every hour, until the person is out of danger of re-overdosing. Usually the person who requires the drip will be kept in the emergency department, an observation unit, or on a regular nursing floor for about 23 hours (23 specifically is due to insurance reasons, but is close to when all known opioids would have worn off)
Naloxone can precipitate withdrawal symptoms if the person is a long-term user as well. If the person would like to stay for detox (the process of essentially going through withdrawal) they can be admitted for that, or they can go home and use again to get rid of those symptoms. Since opioid detox is not life threatening, just extremely unpleasant, if they want to do detox on their own, we don't push too hard on them to stay.

elaborating a bit more on Nick's importance to me, something i've only really recently felt more inclined to look back on and resurface in my mind given the..... nature... of this story 🥲 going back through my old facebook to find the images has definitely tightened my chest a lot as i'm writing this, but i think it's as good a time as any to share now i've done so.
trigger warning for domestic violence / physical assault. contains content made pre transition, identities and characters i no longer use, please respect this and do not use them
observing the bittersweet horrors below the cut
Tumblr media
the movie released in 2016. i was 19 / 20 yrs old at the time. i was still a furry, identifying with the label, with a "fursona" all that jazz (i still have animal sonas and interest in costuming as my sonas now, i just dont identify as a furry or interact with the community / go to the meet ups anymore). most importantly i was in a co habiting relationship with my then boyfriend, who we will refer to as L (bc he certainly didnt act like a W lol....)
we've got the trigger warning out of the way so i'll be frank - L was my abuser. i was a domestic violence victim to this man. he was unpredictable, attacked me in my own home several times a week, over mundane things like a chore needing doing or not smoking inside or needing to wake him up at 4pm. it's stuff that still haunts me to this very day (high intensity therapy finally happening, end of this year) that i wont elaborate much more on but it was BAD, ok. really really bad, shit you only see happening in movies. i was nearly DEAD, on the last occassion. i lived that horror for over a year whilst we lived together, and the knock on effect its had... i have not been able to work since, i lost my job due to needing to be sent to hospital on my shift a couple days after and fired for my "inconsistent appearence" at work. i lost everything to this man. i've only just started coming out of my shell in terms of holding a relationship in the last 2 years, largely in part given to the bravery that self shipping has brought me.
so here we mention Zootopia. Zootropolis over here w/e it's not important - Zootopia released in the same year 2016, after much hype from myself it was one of few things keeping me going at the time the awaited release of this movie, and i fell hard for Nick. how much i related to his character (even more so in recent times) how tender he seemed underneath everything and his turn around, everything about this character comforted me.
Tumblr media
and i started to selfship with him! i didnt know what selfshipping was at the time, it was just me drawing my at the time fursona with him romantically and had no idea the SS community existed until just a few years ago. i never really felt the need to ship with characters when i was in IRL relationships before - and the fact i started drawing myself with Nick was an eye opener for me that something wasn't right for me. that i was deep down seeking refuge in a fictional relationship bc i was starting to break down and come to terms with the fact my IRL relationship was not only unhealthy, but dangerous.
it was the comfort of shipping with Nick and that realisation it gave me that gave me the wake up call i needed. one morning L was on another of his hands on tyrades, and scared our poor elderly cat, seeing my baby scared and knowing i'd been putting my heart into new outlets, i ejected him from the property that day. sure, L was able to manipulate his way back into my life for another couple months later that year that ended the exact same way (for good this time, good riddance) but in that moment i knew i wanted better than what i had when i found that in Nick at the time.
while my self ship with him has been quite on and off since then, i'll never forget the part he played in essentially saving my life. aforementioned, L nearly KILLED ME one time, right towards the end of that second appearence i mentioned before. i'll spare the specifics, i'm lucky to be alive.
Tumblr media
i don't know where i would be without that wake up call. Nick and my sweet elderly cat Clawey rest in peace, they both saved my life in 2016 and i'm forever grateful for that ;___;

@headstrongblake asked: what makes them the most happy? do they wear jewelry, if so, what’s their staple?? what do they smell like either from their cologne, perfume, shower items, YKNOW?? bedtime/night time routine?? / feeling nosey about the kids
Tumblr media
WELL. wow these are some hard hitters. let's see what we can answer. what makes them the most happy? see now thats the deepest question you could have asked. MOST happy? we're gonna answer that one last because i don't think half of my kids know that lol.
do they wear jewelry, if so, what's their staple?
kassy is a jewelry fiend, she lives her life in excess so she's almost always got at least three pairs of every kind of jewelry; necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings. she always has her nose piercings in; a stud on the left, and a septum piercing she gets later on. she also loves to wear body jewelry around her waist and chest, summer anklets, the girl just loves to decorate herself. i'd say 9/10 times it's gold jewelry. her staple though is probably her huge hoop earrings and millions of rings.
grant doesn't wear any jewelry, he only wears a watch. he probably wouldn't wear any jewelry unless there was sentimental reasons behind it. i think the most he'd wear is a wedding ring and maybe a thin chain/dog tag kind necklace.
alec doesn't wear much jewelry but he does wear chokers and necklaces like that on occasion. he wouldn't mind dressing up / being dressed up in jewelry for a partner or for photos but he think's he far too clumsy to wear necklaces that are long in case they get caught. he's definitely open to more jewelry if friends or partners gift him any and would probably wear them indefinitely. but yeah, alec's staple is just a simple choker, maybe sometimes with a little heart decoration or bell.
rev has their ears pierced, wearing simple diamonds or black triangle studs, and wears a long gold necklace of a crescent moon that they usually tuck under their shirt. but that's about all the jewelry they'll wear on a daily basis. dressing up for specific / fancier events they're interested in ear jewelry that curves around and decorates the whole ear, whether feathers, or a dragon, or fancy designs or it's pointed like elf ears, etc. they also have brass knuckles though they rarely use it.
nate doesn't wear any jewelry. he's not opposed to it, he just prefers to pawn any jewelry he has off for money. he does like the look of a chain though.
what do they smell like either from their cologne, perfume, shower items?
kassy will always smell absolutely delicious, she has an array of flavours but her shower items are heavy with jasmine, vanilla, honey clementine and peaches. she has a perfume she wears occasionally that has a bit of a sandalwood scent to it along with a mix of burbon vanilla. there's also hints of coconut since she moisturizes both her scalp and skin with it.
grant smells like woodland pine which is a cologne he uses. there are however also hints of gunpowder, firewood smoke, whiskey, and blood.
alec tends to love clean, fresh scents and super foamy body wash so he often will smell very fruity. hints of citrus; orange, grapefruit and mango with hints of aloe and lemongrass.
rev probably smells very earthy since they usually spend a lot of time in the forest. moss, rich mulch, pine. very much has that early morning outdoor air type smell clinging to them. along with probably hints of blood and well on the occassion wet dog but, ya know. that's only when they actually are a wet dog.
nate probably smells like a mix of aftershave and a light smelling deoderant of citrus and cedarwood.
bedtime/night time routine??
kassy usually tries to keep her routine consistant and since she's a big skincare girly, she spends time removing her make up, washing her face to her shoulders (because that counts as skincare) with a handful of products, using a face mask as she brushes her teeth. she also will make sure to moisterize before bed each night and occassionally she'll take a bath before bed jsut to unwind and relax.
grant usually will shower before bed if he's been busy, but aside from that nothing out of the ordinary. he'll check the locks, make sure all his dishes are clean and maybe read a bit before sleeping.
alec's night routine is pretty simple as well, he'll wash his face with a few products (picked out by kassy), make sure his plants are watered, brush his teeth, make a tea for his grandma and hop into bed. occassionally his nights will end a little nsfw since he's a horny devil but then he'll sleep like a little angel.
rev tends to go to bed pretty late since as soon as its dark they often like to shift and stay in the forest. chase deer, roll in the dirt, dig holes, simply just be as animalistic as they can. they feel more at peace with their body when in beast form. so sometimes they'll sleep out there like that or change just to throw themselves in bed without much of a routine at all, save that for the morning.
nate doesn't really have an extensive routine, simply just brush his teeth, shower if he needs to, hop into bed in just a pair of briefs and he's good to go. he doesn't really read or anything like that so usually it's right to sleep.
what makes them the most happy?
kassy: feeling needed/wanted, helping those she loves, laying out on a beach, having someone she can casually make out with and who's hair she can play with, sipping drinks and having food served to her. her peace and freedom. real connection and feeling safe around someone who brings colour to her world. making art with or of someone(s) in a bright and sunny room, music playing and silence to idle chichat as they focus.
grant: feeling good enough, casual and soft touches during lazy mornings. creating a family who he loves, who he makes sure knows he loves them. going camping to sight see incredible locations and stargaze. hearing i love you. hearing i'm proud of you. unexpected embraces. no longer needing a second chance.
alec: helping and pleasing and servicing his loved ones. making meals and baked goods for people. being surrounded by flowers; in gardens, in homes, to sell, to grow, to smell, to decorate with. being accepted for who he is. being absolutely destroyed in the bedroom but cared for sweetly afterwards. being in love and all that comes with it; the butterflies, the romantic dates, first kisses, the heartbreak.
rev: being in their wolf form, not having to worry about their gender dysphoria. being with the one person they love. seeing their brother happy. fighting like the bloodthirsty devil they can be.
nate: finding his soulmate. making good friendships where they can be themselves, be silly, lean on one another. being a good husband and dad. making people laugh when times are difficult. live through thrilling experiences, feel the adrenaline of running from the cops after a heist. a late night drive with the windows open whipping down the highway only to pull over miles later to make out in the back seat. being embraced into a group that could feel like family.

England and Portugal were both very close to one another. They bonded over mutual interests as well as a fondness for the sea. For a long time, England and Portugal courted each other - though a great deal of internalised homophobia as well as distance and differences in their romantic outlooks soured their relationship from time to time. It was on and off a lot of the time, with England and Portugal breaking up before returning to one another, over and over, the same issues cropping up tirelessly.
England thought that love was solely an act of faith, an act of knowing that someone has your back and just being there was enough. Portugal thought love was an act of affection, of romancing and being loving in ways aside from sexually (which Eng did more than enough of, thank you very much). They were a loving couple who did truly think the other was something special, I mean, they had to find the other special or they would not have bothered. England and Portugal were oft seperated by duty and by sea, and the few times they got together were far and few between. Portugal would complain: 'England never woos me, like seriously...just a quick fuck every two weeks isn't romantic, Inglaterra! I want wine, flowers, something a bit more passionate than a dick up my ass every once in a while'. England and Portugal were oft fraught with a great deal of internalised homophobia that most certainly did not help, not to mention England has all the emotional display of a fucking statue back then (save for when he's really fucking pissed off). Now, the focus of this is the fact Portugal cheated on England once. I am aware cheating is a bad thing, but cmon, these are immortal guys who have killed and will kill again, so bear with me here. Portugal had a non-physical and emotional relationship with someone, who he on occassion vented to and flirted with, only for it to grow and suddenly 'Oh no' . England was unaware, only finding out from a secondary source and a few rumours, and just so happened to walk in on the very first time they ever kissed. There was a lot of blood on the wall after that, England essentially slamming the guy's face into the wall before dragging Portugal out, shouting how he could do this and why wasn't he enough? Why wasn't it enough to simply BE there for Portugal? Portugal, did not expect England to care so much (his dangerous assumption that Eng just did not care for romance reared its head once again. Eng did very much love, but he loved quietly, so quietly it may as well be hush.) Portugal had enjoyed feeling wanted for something other than just sex, and it was quite a shock to him when England proved finally, FINALLY, there was something else to their relationship aside from a fuck. This was a notion that pissed off England, the notion that appearantly his quiet faith and loyalty were not good enough, and the two ended things bitterly here, vicious and arguing loud enough to wake the neighbours. They went 'on a break' essentially, before getting back together and so on and so on. Portugal was always very sentimental and readily accepted England back while England was always dependent on Portugal, for the longest time one of the few readily avaliable sources of affection that he could trust. Neither communicated well to one another, with Portugal never telling England he wanted more and England never showing that he did truly love Portugal for more than just how good he was in bed. Communication is a two-way street and these chucklefucks were running in opposite directions from each other. Perhaps, in another universe of good communication, they would be the BEST power couple to exist. When they had their final and last break-up, England and Portugal were done for good (with England getting a rebound that was literally just Portugal, which wasn't new. England has gotten rebound before, mostly women in a bid to prove that he is NOT gay, but in this specific case, it kind of annoyed Portugal, cos way to go with a Portugal-Lite, England). Nowadays, they're a little better - but there is that air of 'What if?'

Hello hello! Quite fun being the one to send you an ask for once, genuinely thought you’d remain a mystery to me forever lmao >w<
Anyway! While going through your blog I saw your tags on your most recent reblog of that Solomon post that’s been going around and I have to say—I’m happy to see that you also noticed that particular aspect of Solomon and Asmo’s relationship, that Sol doesn’t particularly trust him or put him on equal footing. I don’t recall what specifically gave me this impression, but I’ve always thought that they must’ve had something of a tumultuous relationship over the years, and that it’s only gotten okay around the time of the exchange program; because even though they were on good terms, according to the relationship chart the devs published (presumably around launch which is also the the time I’m assuming that Asmo’s Chapter A cards came out?) Solomon still viewed him as a tool/toy. I feel like there were moments as well that hinted that he wasn’t super happy with how overly close Asmo was behaving in S1 but I’m not sure.
And even with more recent things like Solomon saying he has trouble refusing Asmo in S3 after you meet the brothers in the human world, I kind of figured that it’s because it’s just easier to indulge him. But maybe it’s because I personally have more cynical takes on the characters’ relationships with each other? Because after some of the hard mode scenes in S2 I found myself enjoying a less rainbow and sunshine filled reading on everyone’s relationships and that there’s still plenty of baggage that hinders full trust and vulnerability.
Then again, we have Solomon saying that he still views pacts as business deals as recently as his last birthday, with Barbatos agreeing. So maybe my less fluffy takes still hold some water >.<
Anyway. Sort of just wanted to bring up Sol and Asmo because I also hardly see anyone talk about them beyond the ship + fanservice Solmare doles out and am dying to hear more about the complexities of their relationship beyond that >.< Hello again!! Still so crazy to know your personal blog omg
welcome to my abode! truth be told, i never intended on being mysterious forever. i'm someone who enjoys the satisfaction of watching others piece the puzzle together, and it goes for many occassions; my favorite being the way my friends attempt to figure out my oc lore with what information (writing) i've cleverly set out for them to find. here are some highlights from last night with a friend who refused to sleep until they've figured one (1) small piece of lore.
it's insane to think that it all inherently connects with the obm universe (because it's [godtongue]'s lore), but can easily be it's own concept without it. speaking of her ... i haven't forgotten about your other responses! i have answers for each of them neatly placed in my priv server ready to be revisited. ;)
i think you might be interesting in reading a recent ask i sent to /@.bbnibi regarding a bit of solomon's views on demons—once they respond to it of course. you mused that solomon doesn't typically like the way asmodeus behaves, and i'd like to mention that i can recall countless of times where this is something that consistently occurs. the way solomon responds to asmodeus' “i love you!”s with a curt, “i know.”? the way he went out of his way to reverse asmo's manipulative gaze when he streamed live to his audience? in the chat for, “letter from the devildom”, solomon doubted that asmodeus would be able to send any form of sincere letter. in the audio drama with sol & asmo, solomon was intensely disappointed (but not surprised) that after centuries of knowing each other, asmo knew nothing about him while mammon did. the list goes on.
imo, the only way for him to actually ensure a good relationship with someone like asmodeus (for the sake of keeping pactmates satisfied in order for them to be more willing to commit greater acts in return) is to partake in simple acts that otherwise bring no harm. persuasion doesn't seem to happen with him. if it's in his best interest, what he'd like to do anyway, or something he consider low-stakes and maybe fun to mess with, he'll let you ‘persuade’ him. he's the gatekeeper here, not you.
this is exceptionally evident in one of s4's lessons (hard mode of lesson 69) where solomon walks in on the royals mentioning him in reference to how he holds a grim reaper's emotions in the palm of his hands.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
to which barbatos acts as though nothing was ever mentioned.
i don't think your view on relationships in obm is cynical in nature at all—i think that everything is laid out before the player if they choose to see it. in this specific scenario, i don't believe that solomon considers any of the cast as close friends, even simeon. solomon went out of his way to confront simeon, dealt with his blatant denial of everything that was going on alongside his sheer disrespect towards him, and yet solomon still didn't think ill of him. he knows so much about simeon and yet, can simeon say the same for solomon?
he rarely shares personal things about himself with other people, which is a juxtaposition of sorts, because what he craves most are meaningful conversations and interactions (see: lesson 46). the clincher is that while he wants to know ALL about you, he will often hold back in sharing much about who he is and what he emotionally needs from the people around him. i can't blame him, though. there isn't anyone who is able to provide him with that in the ways that matter.
apologies for the ramble, although i know you don't mind reading longer posts ^^ after seeing a recent poll of 1k+ people on twitter regarding the popularity of characters, it irked me how solomon placed 11th due to people thinking of him as someone bland and irritating (satan placed 2nd, though). i suppose that's why i'm in the mood to talk so much about solomon—to compensate for what newer players perceive him to be.

Lore/Mira/Fritz here and this is a personal side-blog!
Last Update: Mar. 11, 2024
Tumblr media
System, SEAsian, and bodily 26. Follows from @loreofthefritz (main/dbz blog).
About:
This is a blog of us making text posts about issues, our life, or a little bit of both. There are also a lot of media we're obsessed with and a lot of things we find interesting.
A lot of us are semiverbal/nonverbal/selectively mute and we struggle with hearing so we ask that you kindly share a caption or transcriptions of your videos especially if you're sharing it to us specifically. Thank you for understanding <3
What we mean by semiverbal/nonverbal/selectively mute is...
That most of us have a hard time verbalizing our thoughts because we don't use words on each other when we talk. Sometimes we experience a verbal shutdown; we won't be answering asks, DMs, and won't be talking in the tags. Please be patient when that happens, we will be back shortly. Even if you find us posting text-heavy content, it doesn't mean we're currently not experiencing a shutdown, sometimes we just post those that have been in the drafts a long time ago during this time.
Some of us write and we intend to post some of them here and the other things we create. However, please do enjoy our blog for the meantime!
❗️This blog may post suggestive things on extremely rare occassions but never fullblown NSFW❗️
If there's any issue or problem at all that you want any of us to address, feel free to slip an ask or DM!
We mostly no longer tag for rbs unless we want to see them again. Anything else you want to know you can find in our carrd.
@loreofthefritz - main + dragon ball blog (don't follow this one unless you really like dragon ball). 《Fritz》
Other blogs:
We usually share blogs but I'll put under here which alter is mostly using the account:
@lore-loves-animated-shows - pixar, dreamworks, and disney side-blog. 《Fritz created this but they dont use it as often as our littles》

Wanna be nosy? Here's your chance. 4-7
4: Do you drink? 5: Do you take drugs? 6: Age you get mistaken for 7: Have tattoos?
For Mun:
I drink socially. I have varied, but specific tastes. Red wine, cider, Rum on the rocks (I call it R&R ^^) Beer type depends on the occassion (I.E. Corona when with my ma, but Miller when with my uncle. ETC.) I am a huge fan of Tawny Port... and you can get a very far way if you offer me a raspberry margarita.
Drugs? Depends. As a general rule, no. I'm even against things like painkiller and anti-allergens outside of dire or necessary situations. Pain and sickness I will deal with, or rest for respectively. If it is too bad, and I have a strong need or want to then I'll go overboard to be at my best performance. some examples are like when I crushed up painkillers and caffeine right before a football game (I played in high school), swallowed most of it, snorted the last little bit, and I pushed myself farther than the caffeine and pain killers would allowed... went to sleep on Friday night, and woke up Monday morning just in time for school. Another shorter example-I was drunk the last month of my bachelors degree. I was stuck in my head too much to do work, and when I'm drunk I just do tasks I decide to to. Essentially I had to finish it out, and just do my finals. In the future if it's available, I will use harder drugs to push through situations but will not indulge recreationally.
If I have facial hair, people assume I'm 22. If I'm clean shaven, people think I'm 16 or 18.
No tattoos but I plan on getting some once I finish my stint in the military or getting some while I'm in the service.
For Muse AKA Freeze
Does he drink? Yes. He prefers beer with his friends, ale and mead, or very fruity mixed drinks.
Depends on the verse. He holds a similar view to me on drugs, but will use them for fun as well if he feels like it.
Freeze get's mistaken for a young man very often. He looks similar from age 14 to 25. In most verses, he begins trying to bulk up and gain more weight and muscle for his older years.
Freeze has no tattoos and won't get any normally. He is a bit of a body purist, liking scars and his natural body as it is. (He's a closet nudist)

A warning for this post: It will be long, serious, and it will contain serious and triggering topics. In short, it's a vent post. But I want to let this all out.
Hoo boy, I feel like doing a retrospective on January, even if it's not even halfway done.
My life did a 180° and I couldn't be more happier. I'm genuinely crying tears of happiness from how happy I am that I became better. The funniest part? All I needed was one specific person out of my life.
I had a best friend since 2018, and... They ditched me at the end of November 2022, after going with them to a game con and telling me that I ignored them all the time (even though they were on their phone all of the time while I was with them). I was devastated. I saw them as the only person who loved me and the fact that I made them so angry to the point they left me made me hate myself even more back then. To the point where the intrusive thoughts (if you know what I mean) wouldn’t stop. But honestly, after looking back... It was obvious they were REALLY distant towards me. They lashed out on me several times for not helping them, because I genuinely didn’t know how to help them, and on one occassion, they even threatened (TRIGGER WARNING) suicide because I went a bit silent. Talking with them started feeling more and more like walking in a minefield. Eventually it got to the point where I felt so much like a burden to them that every time I went to their place I would cry and contemplate doing something bad to myself. And I thought this was all love. I tried my hardest, my absolute damn hardest to help them feel better, but all that did was make ME feel worse. Nothing helped them. I am not a saint but I think that I put more effort into this. They still (....most of the time, they once left for like 2 days and when I called them they didn’t answer at all..) were there when I needed them and I appreciate that. But even their partner said that they could tell I cared about them.
After they ditched me, after a few really hard days, without much sleep or eating, I noticed how... Free I felt... No more feeling anxious that they would lash out on me, nothing. I felt calm for the first time in 4 years. And my life finally started going uphill. I took a train to a city with my friends, that I knew before I even knew this ex-friend. It was the most amazing trip of my life so far. I had so much fun playing games in the arcade with them, I went to gigs with them... And then 2023 rolled around, I started going to the gym, went with more gigs with my friends, and just overall spent more time with them, rather than being cooped up inside my room like I was when I was still talking to that ex-friend. My friend group immediately told me I could come see them when I told them about this, and that just makes me so happy... I am genuinely glad to have these friends and I love them. We also play a lot of Gmod, and they got into Half-Life as well!! And they keep asking me stuff about the lore and they know that it makes me so happy! I feel like with them I don’t have to mask myself, I can be a weirdo around them without feeling judged like before... And they don’t mind that I’m weird at all!!! Not to mention that games like Touhou and Half-Life made me cope with these 4 years... Hell, Valve is literally the reason why I am still around, I’d say, because HL2 literally inspired me to be a concept and game artist, and I will go to a uni with that course after I finish high school.
The thing that happened with my ex-friend still stings and I still cry over it, but that is to be expected, I can’t move on from someone who I talked to everyday for the last 4 years so quickly. It hurts to even think about them, especially when they appear in my dreams, sometimes I even see their dad in public and I just start shaking and tearing up from how remembering how much I was mistreated back then. But all that matters is that now I am happier, and that I still work on myself. I am a bit ashamed to admit that I want to befriend some people here on Tumblr that follow me, but I am too scared ^^;;;;;, so I want to work on that as well!!
And, if you read all of this, have cookies, thank you for reading this wall of text...! 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

Tumblr media
summary: the names you call him depend on the situation and he finds it endearing and meaningful when he hears each one
pairing: childe x gn!reader
style & genre: written; angst & fluff
warnings: mildly explicit content (it’s like 1% explicit) at the end
notes: he, xiao, and diluc are my comfort characters and i really wanted to write this once the idea stuck in my head. i noticed that childe/tartar/chillday/ajax goes by a few names that idea made this fic. these scenes are little snippets of life with childe so they happen over the span of many months, years, etc., you choose
this is self-indulgent i need comfort during this time 😀 but i went a little overboard with the last part, oh well get hit with feelings
Tumblr media
The playfulness of his name...
"Childe!” You yelp when you feel cold fingers graze your sides and plant themselves firmly. He doesn’t make a move to remove them so you’re left squirming from the sensation. You can hear his soft chuckles in your ear, ones that were only heard in the earliest of mornings when he first wakes up.
“Sorry, but I’ve waited so long to do this...” he mutters and kisses your neck before pulling his hands away, “What are you making?” He hooks his chin over your shoulder and stares down at the ingredients you’ve chopped up. 
“Breakfast. We have a job today, remember?” Even if he is pretty punctual on most occassions and can watch out for himself on the battlefield, Childe forgets most things when they should happen and doesn’t realize just how much he works his body. In this case, he thought the mission was another day and was fully prepared to spend the whole day in bed with you.
“Isn’t it tomorrow?” He lifts his head and checks the small notebook left on the dining room table. “Ah, man. Sweetheart, when are we going to get a day for ourselves?” He whines out loud with you laughing at the actions of the manchild. He returns to wrap his arms around you and bury himself in the collar of your shirt, that was essentially his. 
“Soon, Childe. Soon.”
--
Drowns out of the worries and sorrowness attached to this... 
Your heartbeat echoes in your ears through the silence as you stare him down. Sure you knew that he had questionable missions and affiliations, but like this? They lay injured at his feet and while they were the enemy, to you and him both, there was that look in his eyes that screamed something vastly different to the ones shown to you. 
He doesn’t notice your presence right away, dispelling his dual swords and causing the droplets of blood mixed with them to disappear as well. But when he lifts his head, the same eyes shown unto the enemy were present. 
And you stay frozen.
Walking into this scene was something you never wanted to do which was particularly difficult seeing as you both had gone on numerous missions together. Was it different this time around? Were these people even more sinister than the ones you’ve had to deal with?
His heavy steps take you out of your thoughts and you see that he is coming closer and closer to you. You aren’t afraid, you tell yourself, but he completely passes by you. Something urges you to open your mouth to call out to him. The reason why, you didn’t know.
He summons his swords and you can see their residue fly over your head and to your sides, red mixing with blue. His name slips by your lips and you call your weapon to join him.
“Tartaglia.”
--
But most of all he trusted you to say this one to his face.
He isn’t unaware of the looks you give him when he fights. And he isn’t aware of how that not only affects how you act around him, but the way you see him. After days like that you tend to be the slightest bit apprehensive and give him his space just in case he needed to cool down. 
As mentioned, it isn’t like you are afraid of him. Rather, you’re worried. 
You’re worried that he’s carrying too much on his shoulders with responsibiliites related to his work and personal life. You feel that anything that might send the balance off could crack his usual persona and show a side that you’ve never seen him show you before.
You aren’t afraid, right?
You’re drying the plates when he arrives into the small kitchen the two of you share. You already freshened up and wanted to finish off last minute chores before heading off to bed. He on the other hand had taken a bath and wanted to see you.
You can hear the faintness in his steps as he presses his chest to your back, wet tips of his hair dangling in your peripherals. You don’t tense, you never do with him, and he takes the opportunity to relax. It’s quiet for a few moments, then he decides to speak.
“Do you love me?” Those four words make you stop completely but you don’t take more than two seconds to turn around and embrace him. His arms come around you gently as if he were scared to break you.
You don’t know exactly what he’s thinking but you are aware that it has something to do with those specific instances. When you lift his head up from your neck, his blue irises are glassy but as bright as ever. There isn’t a word said between you both but the actions, the touches, and gazes are there.
This man was who you fell in love with. 
He laid himself out to you after gaining your trust and now he worries that it could all be taken away. Fighting was a part of him that he was afraid you wouldn’t accept and the misunderstanding of your actions was more proof of that.
His fighting wasn’t for nothing, you knew that. It was for protecting the ones he cared about.
A twinge of guilt surfaces in your chest and you tell him everything. He listens and listens and listens. 
You tell him of your worries, of the reasons of your wariness, and you apologize for the way you’ve made him feel. He may be strong and charismatic, but he is a human being who cherishes you so close to his heart. He wants to tell you that you don’t need to but you tell him it is all necessary.
Because you love him.
The words bring him happiness and assurance but he’s ever the impatient one, too. He asks for permission and you grant it to him.
The following motions are unclear to you until you feel yourself meet with the softness of the bed. His body lays on top of yours but he holds himself up as to not crush you under him. He’s made jokes of that before but now this is a moment when holding you like this is never close enough.
He barely lets you breathe, though when allowing time for air, his lips never leave your body. Like he can’t get enough of you. If he were to ever lift his hands he feels like you could just disappear. The path his fingers take leaves you to shiver in their midst as he takes care of you so carefully.
But you touch him as well. Showing him that you want to take care of him as much as he does you. The span of his skin is both smooth and rough and he sighs in your ear when you softly graze over the scars on his back. His grip on you is tight but never enough to hurt as he slowly brings you both to your highs. You gasp his name in his ear and he closes his eyes at the sound.
It isn’t the one you casually call him and it isn’t the one that challenges his doubts.
It’s the one that’s left him vulnerable to your every ask and whim. One that never fails to grow his love for you every single time he hears it.
“Ajax.”
When your mind clears up he’s already staring at you. The haziness of uncertainties slowly dissipating as you reach your hand out to lace it through his own.
He squeezes it back just as tightly.

Spoilers from both Trollhunters the book and Trollhunters the series!
While reading the book I was really impressed with how many differences there were between the character so I have worked on giving my take on six characters from both media, book vs series, and how they differ from each other :3 
I should mention that while there was illustrations in the book I tried for the challenge not to copy those but follow along the describtions in the book - when possible - to give my own interpretation of the characters ^v^ 
Steve
First up we have Steve. Starting out as the stereotypical bully in both version their paths seperates quickly resulting in two different ending for the musuclar blond Jorgensen-Warner is the book version of Steve. Here's how he is described from our first encounter with him: "He was handsome but in the oddest way- He eyes were too small and his nose piggish: he had a ridiculous amount of hair and a couple of teeth that looked like fangs. Yet somehow in combination these features were sort of mesmerising. His unnatural muscular bulk and odd way of speaking -crisply, politely, as if he were a foreign student who had learned English in class - completed the strange package." page 21-22 For his outfit I went with the description of him on page 224 "[my clothes] ... didn't cast me in the best light when compared to Steve Jorgensen-Warner, who looked rather rakish in blue jeans and a shirt - definitely not a blouse - opened to the third button. He dribbled the ball casually with his left hand." The bold passages is added by me   This Steve is later revealed to be a changeling aka a troll   Before we go on: can any of you explain to me what a "ridiculous amount of hair" even means :'D? I had a lot of trouble with this prompt because isn't this so darn subjective :'D? and the official art look way less ridiculous than I'd figure it'll be :'D x'D Palchuk is the series version of Steve. His facial appearance being way less specific (I'd say he has normal sized eyes, a big roman nose and some more or less normal teeth) and his way of speaking is definitely not polite. Like book Steve, this Steve starts out with pushing smaller guys into lockerrooms yet after that he becomes way less of a terrifying bully and much more of a silly goose who brings a lot of the comic relief in my opinion Douxie says it best in Wizards when he calls Steve the "village idiot" x'D I do not recall seeing Steve being that sporty in the show, he is much more interested in becoming homecoming king  no basketballs around x'D While book Steve is revealed to be the enemy (a troll) series Steve joins the "good guys" creating the creepslayerz with the character Eli Pepperjack
Blinky
Blinky is just called Blinky in the book  Here's a bit of description of him "The third [troll] had scarlet eyes, eight of them on long stems. (...) The thing from my house glided toward me with a surprising grace for something with an indetermined number of legs, all of which were hidden behind a patched kilt scaled with layers of medals, prizes and trophies and award ribbons. An incalculable tangle of tentacles twined around one another as if dying to squeese something to death. As it passed the oven, the firelight revealed olive-green skin, reptilian texture, and lacquer of slime lubricating its undulating appendages Its moth a horizontal gash.. " The bold passages is added by me   So yeah this Blinky is quite something :'D I stopped caring to draw tentacles after a while but overall this was silly but fun to draw  since his teeth later is described as big as traffic cones I believe he must be very tall :'D Also he's close to blind   Has a bit of a dirty mouth but in a very "read" way if it makes sense :'D cannot seem to stop calling Jim dimwitted and tiny and Tobias big :'D Blinky's full name in the series is Blinkus Galadrigal  he has six eyes instead of eight and they are all working just fine, thank you very much x'D His tons of tentacles and legs has been replaced by four arms and two legs and while he is still olive-green he is now made of tone like texture just like the other trolls  the kilt turned into shorts and he is quite a bit smaller now not even as tall as Jim  He still has this very academic way of speaking yet he is way nicer to Jim calling him "Master Jim" instead of "the short one" x'D
ARRRGH!!!
Book ARRGHHH!!!s full name is Johannah Mmmm ARRRGH!!! and she is a pretty big deal warrior among the trolls in the book - she's so badass in fact Blinky has decided to call her by her last name to honor her for her deeds for trollkind   Here's a qoute from the book describing her appearance   "The goliath emerged from the tunnel as comfortably as a dog from a doghouse, coarse black fur pouring into the chamber before I could make out any actual arms or legs (...) Even beneath the fur I could see loops of muscles flexing. (...) ARRRGH!!! was built like a gorilla but three times larger: Two arms, two legs, and, thankfully, just two eyes. Horns, curled like those of a ram (...) The thing's orange eyes cast about with animal perceptiveness, and it used its snout and sniffed. Its jaws fell open to reveal a purple, slavering mouth armed with haphazard daggers of teeth." Page 75-76 The bold passages is added by me   (Also worth mentioning: the qoute is from before the protagonist knows of ARRRGH!!!'s gender which is why he calls her an 'it') At other times in the story we learn that ARRRGH! has quite scarred arms and really wishes for better tooth hygeine; so much so that Tobias actually end up making her a brace out of chicken wire :'D Idk I find it quite adorable :'D Now unto the serie's ARRRGH!!! - first up he is male, his name is Arghaumont and he is famous for another reason than Johannah: he was a general of Gunmar but retreated from the war making him a traitor to his people yet a hero for the good trolls in the series. Series ARRRGH!!! is likewise built like a gorilla but made of stone and having a mane long and green like it is moss  his horns is way smaller and less curvy and his teeth hygeine is never brought up  also his face is way less dog like x'D 
Tobias 
Book Tobias' full name is Tobias M. Dershowitz yet he is going by 'Tubby' or 'Tub'. Here is a describtion of him from the book: "You could call Tobias Dershowitz chubby, if you were being cute, or husky if you were being diplomatic. The fact is he was fat, and that was only the beginning of his problems. His hair was a thick, orange, out-of-control hedge. His face spilled over with the kind of freckles that make kids like Tub look like overgrown toddlers. Worst of all were his braces, marvels of modern torment: whips of stainless steel crisscrossing each tooth seperately and lashed to a dozen silver fasteners. The braces clicked so much when he spoke, you expected sparks. At least he was tall..." page 27 The bold passages is added by me   The outfit I went with is described on page 259 like this: "He stood in the driveway decked out in his best approximation of a ninja: black tennis shoes, black sweatpants, a black hoodie, a belt made from a red curtain sash, and an oversize fanny pack holding his gear (...) It was unfortunate that the fanny pack was lime green..." To describe Tub is a bit difficult because sadly he is not much in the story as I'd liked - mostly he is being quite serious and let us know he is not happy by being sidelined not speaking troll nor being invited on hunts which I completely understand tbh :'D What I do find interesting is how Tub and series Jim has seem to have switched roles a little bit: In the series Jim is the one giving a speech about how he is insecure about his place in life and how he wants more - in the book this is Tub in more than one occassion: "We have to accept who we are. And before you ask, I'll tell you. We're nobody. We have no life. We have nothing to look forward to. We're not special. I just want it to go away. All of it. The stupid being scared. Doesn't it seem we've been scared forever?" page 37 "Jim, you're wrong. We were meant to do this. This is exactly what we've been waiting for. They've chosen us. Of all people! Us! (...) Jesus, Jim, take a look at my life! You know what I'm worth! To anyone? Zero! Nothing! I'm a fat loser and will always be a fat loser. Until this. This is like a present. Full of, man, I don't know. Hope?..." page 196 (talking about trollhunting here btw) Oh yeah and book Tobias gets this badass scene where he uses his dentist's tool to kill trolls I loved that   Now series Tobias is way different :'D first up his name is Tobias Domzalski and his nicknames are Toby and Tobes. He is way shorter and has more neat hair (what is it with the series neating up the hair :'D? x'D). He also seems way cheerier and pretty happy with his place in life more or less  Unlike Tub, Toby is in it from the start being an important player in the story   He doesn't have the same drive to be something more than he is as Tub has instead Toby is going with the flow starting out quite afraid of everything troll and ended up being as brave as the rest of the team *tbh Jim's scared out of his wits too so they mimic each other x'D* Where Tub has dentist tools Toby gets a badass hammer so I'll say its an upgrade  
Claire
First off we have Claire Fontaine, a foreign student from no other than Scotland with a taste for military clothing and liqourice   Here's how she's described in the book   "She tucked her long dark hair behind her ear and left ir with an adorable smudge of white dust. I thought she was beautiful, though she wasn't in the classic sense. The popular girl would say she wasn't skinny enough. They would also point to the fact that she didn't wear makeup or do anything to tame that hair. And her clothes -well, what could be said about her clothes? Her boots were not sexy and knee-high: in fact, they were ankle-high and rubber-soled and looked picked from military surplus racks, an array of pea-green coats and multi-coloured slacks, all of which looked as if they'd been through actual World War II combat. And that beret she wore before and after school wasn't of the look-at-me-I'm Frensh variety: it was more in the style of I'm-going-to-invade-your-country-and-be-your-new-dictator. Only one thing didn't make sense: that bright pink, exceedingly girlish backpack that inexplicably hadn't one anti-establidh patch sewn onto it (...) Oh, I forgot to mention that Claire Fontain came from the UK. That's right- the girl had an accent. I think you are starting to get the picture." page 30-1 The bold passages is added by me It is hinted at that Claire is quite tall and a great deal taller than Jim (more when I get to him) and she is actually a whole year older than Jim since they both have birthday May 2 but Claire is 16 while Jim is 15  Since Trollhunters in this story is not a "protected title" (aka the chosen hero type) Claire ends up being one herself even though nobody even herself didn't know: AND. SHE. KICKS. BUTT! She's even better than the guy that had 40+ years experience so yeah safe to say she's badass :'D Even before that she has a hilarious scene calling out Steve in the wildest shitstorm of Scottish slang I lived for it x'D She's described quite a few times with lots of bracelets, sometimes made of wire so I gave her a bit of both   She's not really a part of the popular group but has her own thing going on   Now onto Claire Nuñez the series' version of this badass   Here Claire is hispanic and pretty much one of the most popular girls seen around  her style is way more ... I've called it punk rock in purple but Idk exactly what to call it x'D she's shorter than Jim and slimmer looking than her book counterpart   She enters the story not as a trollhunter but as a victim of having her brother stolen by changelings and as time progresses she becomes a fastlearning and quite competent sorcerer dealing in shadow magic   Unlike Fontaine, Nuñes is seen wearing make up, shorter hair with dye in it and hair clips instead of bracelets  
Jim 
First up we have book Jim. His full name is James Sturges Jr. and lives with his single parent, his dad, after his mother went away the day before his birthday in start May and never returned. Sturges Sr. had been traumatized loosing his brother to trolls although none of the characters didn't know this yet - only Senior had seen the creatures making him paranoid and in turn making Jim very embarrased about his father. At the same time Jim seems to honestly worry for his father and his behavior too makes Jim very cautious and fearful a character. Book Jim is pretty much a typical teenager for the most part  He is seen to be a tad clumsy and not exactly brave really. And the author's choice of basically not describing him anywhere made my job way harder trying to be book accurate :'D So I've mostly inspired him of the official illustrations in the book   Here's what I could find about our little trollhunter   First off: he's a short fellow  that is first mentioned on page 14; "Sunshine is important for growing boys." (...) "I am not growing" I took after my dad when it came to size and was still waiting for that growth spurt everyone kept raving about. "In fact I think I'm shrinking." This is brought up most of everything Jim through the movie from him not being able to reach a point of a chalkboard (page 32) to people's dissapointing sighs taking meassurements when he is chosen as Romeo (107) and him wearing super high heels for the same reason (224) but also Blinky directly calling him a "little fellow" (page 127) On page 27 we learn that he is getting a bruise on his chin after being slammed into his locker by Steve  Lockers he has been thrown into enough to have learned to open them on the inside :'D He is a skinny fella which Tobias so politely call "lack of muscletone" due to "glandular" at page 120 He is not very good at anything describing his room full of stuff from hobbies he tried and failed at (page 63) The longest describtion about his appearance is probably page 105: "I lowered my eyes and regarded the chewed, dirty fingernails holding my script, thes scuffed shoes on my feet, and realized that these were the symbols of my pityful life: worn-out, insignificant, ready to be thrown beneath Dad's industrial mower" It pretty much says it all when this is the longest quite I could find :'D For the outfit I mostly went by the small describtion on page 89-90: "I tucked the medallion beneath my shirt. After a full day of wearing it, maybe the rest of the suffocating fear would go away too. My plan was to dart into the kitchen, grab my sweatshirt and be out of the house. " I added jeans since he is said to wear jeans on page 283 - the medallion sneak out beneath the sweatshirt/shirt on page 97 which is why I added it on top here as well   Now since there's a bit more to both versions of Jim due to their role as the protagonist I've added in a little extra features here being the medallion in the book vs the amulet in the series and the weaponry given to the characters   For Sturges we have the medallion who's described like this: "It was a bronze medallion conntected to a rusty chain. It was engraved with a foreboding crest: a hideous, snarling face; indecipherable markings of a sevage language, and a magnificent long-sword across the bottom." page 9 The medallion is treated like it is a common artefact if a bit rare in the book - its purpose is to translate trollspeak for the wearer. Jim is giving two swords in the book; a rusty longsword he calls Clairesword (do I need to explain this one?) and a cutlass he calls Cat #6 after the one cat at Tobias' house that liked Jim  x'D For Sturges' personality my feeling about him is that he is a bit more ... passive than his series counterpart. He is not really standing up for himself that much and would rather blend into the background. This qoute from Claire sums him up pretty nicely I believe   "You're a good person, Mr. Sturges. A bit gloomy, but good" page 246 I do like that Jim in this version is a Taurus  (I am a taurus too x'D) born on May 2nd so that's a plus   It is probably also worth mentioning that in this world trollhunters aren't a chosen hero type like in the series: trollhunters or paladin was once a title held by many warriors yet now there's very few left. Sturges was a proud paladin family making Jim a chosen candidate for the honor of becoming a trollhunter but he is not the only one - or even the best - in the book. In fact out of the three trollhunters we learn about I'll say Jim is the weakest (and he is not even the least trained; ouch :'D) Jim doesn't get a nice armour like his series counterpart either but is seen in the illustrations wearing a blue hoodie (like the one in the little doodle)   The full name of Jim in the series is James Lake Jr. He is the child of a single parent and lives with his mother whom Jim "mothers a lot" (Tobias' words in the first episode) This Jim is pretty "tall for his age" (Jim's own words uttered quite a few times across all three series) yet with quite skinny legs (he is called out for this by multiple characters). He is much more competent in life than his book counterpart being an exceptional cook, good at Spanish, seemingly alright in PE and at school he seems to stand pretty good if only holding himself back. Unlike book Jim, series Jim seems much more active and longing to be something more than he is - he is seen to be quite brave and protective of his friends, very kind and selfless. Also even from the start he seems much more nimble than his book counterpart being able to climb the robe (a feat book Jim didn't do before later) and with his training as trollhunter he becomes even more badass   Trollhunter status in the series is way more important since the title is given to only one chosen warrior of Merlin chosen by the amulet of daylight (the medallion in the book). This also makes the amulet way more special and important in the series which probably explains its shine up from rusty bronze thing to silver and blue. While Lake Jr doesn't have named sword he does have a magical armour and sword made of daylight   We do not know the exact birthday of Lake Jr but the creators have replied to a fanquestion saying it would be around fall especially October so by that estimate Jim is probably a scorpio  pretty far from the before mentioned taurus in the book   While Jim Lake Jr isn't seen with long lasting bruises in the original series he does get two more permanent scars in Wizards

Hey, everyone! I’m here to reveal the prompts for Zexal Week 2021! For those who can’t properly see the above picture, Zexal Week will be Sunday, June 13th through Saturday, June 19th!
You’re in no way obligated to participate, though if you do, you don’t have to do every day if you don’t want! You can do half the days, every other day, even only one day if you want!
Feel free to get creative with how you celebrate Zexal Week! I know the most common mediums of producing content are usually through fanfic or fanart, but anything goes! AMVs. cosplays, a lil mini vlog, GIFs, simple texts posts just wording your thoughts, whatever you can think of is cool! (Even mature content is acceptable, so long as it’s marked mature somewhere in the post, for those who wish to filter that content!)
And remember, participating in Zexal Week isn’t simply limited to producing content! Contributions are as simple as reblogging each others’ works and posts, or commenting on what you find enjoyable, even if it’s something as simple as a “thank you!”, “I love it!” or even a thumbs-up emoji!
Without further ado, the prompts will be presented beneath the cut!
Sunday, June 13th: 'A Parallel Self' - Let's acknowledge the talent that voice actors brought in bringing the Zexal characters to life! Do a little digging to see what other anime characters share your favorite Zexal character(s)'s voice! (For example: Astral's Japanese VA also voices Koushi Sugawara from Haikyuu!.) Share with us your finds, and maybe indulge in a little crossover of sorts if you'd like!
Monday, June 14th:  'Mythological Twist' - Akin to YGO DM's use of Egyptian Mythology, Zexal uses bits of Christian and Greek Mythology for its series. (i.e., Utopia/Hope being a 'Guardian Angel', The Barians being named based on the Big Dipper, the recurring theme of Carnivals in the first half of Zexal [which, I have discovered, are festivities rooted in both Christian and Greek cultures, apparently?]) Take this time to either go all in on those mythoses, or apply a different one to the Zexal story!
Tuesday, June 15th: '10 Years Later' - Seeing as it is Zexal's 10th year anniversary, what do you think the Zexal cast would be doing 10 years post-canon?
Wednesday, June 16th: 'Challenge the Game!' - Aside from the Duel Monsters card game, what game(s) could you see the Zexal characters getting into? Be it a different card game entirely, board game, video game, sports game, mobile game, etc.!
Thursday, June 17th: 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' - It's June! Likely named for the Roman Goddess Juno, the patroness of Marriage, let's see what Zexal spin you can put on weddings! Be it a ship getting married, a marriage tradition(s) you think a specific character(s) would have, etc.! (suggested by JKDiamondGold)
Friday, June 18th: 'Cosmetic Cybernetics' - Inspired by the AR Vision was introduced in Zexal (Duel Gazers, Duel Tattoos, and those who could augment their eyes to the AR Duel fields), what Cybernetic enhancements do you think the characters could have? Would they have them in-canon/post-canon, or in an AU? Are they purely for cosmetic purposes, or do they aid the character in some way?
Saturday, June 19th: 'Free Day!' - Just as it says: a free prompt day! Do whatever comes to mind!
Alternative prompts:
Fun in the Sun
Medieval Fantasy AU
Flower Language
Bucket List
Treating Wounds
"I'd go to the ends of the Earth for you."
"Your memory may be gone, but your heart knows who you are."
"A picture's worth a thousand words, though in your case, this one's worth a million."
"Honestly? There's no place I'd rather be."
"It took letting go to realize... I was holding onto nothing."
Ultimately, all these prompts aren’t mandatory! They’re more of a baseline, I guess; Something constructive for those seeking specific prompts! But if you want to do your own thing for any or all of the Zexal Week days, then go for it! This is a weeklong celebration of Zexal, and I don’t want to stifle your creativity!
For those participating, I will be tracking the tags “#Zexal Week” and “#Zexal Week 2021″ to find your posts and reblog them here! Though I would suggest also tagging this blog somewhere in your post just to be safe! Last year there were several occassions where posts made weren’t popping up in the tags I was searching in!
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to shoot me an ask! Anonymous is on, like always!
Thanks for your patience, and I’m sorry again for posting the prompts and rundate a couple days late! Also, here’s hoping this post doesn’t get eaten by the tunglr tag demons! I’ll keep reposting this as needed, until the tag demons accept it!
See you guys in a month!

Fair warning: it's a long post. Let's examine some of the reasons that Kara has cited why she didn't tell Lena the super secret:
1. She wanted to protect her
Now, this one has some legs on it as Kara specifically mentions it in S3 during a conversation with James and Mon-El. And there's definitely some truth to it. But it's also bullshit. Lena was in constant danger and put herself at risk to save/protect Kara who didn't actually need it. In fact, the first time Lena's mentioned (not shown just mentioned) it's in regards to the venture explosion - something that happened because Lex was trying to kill her. People have been trying to kill, kidnap, manipulate, threaten Lena since minute one. Knowing Kara = SG would not have severely worsened any of that. In fact, it might've helped ease Lena's anxieties and resulted in her taking less risks with her life. In fact, I'm surprised Lena didn't think that Kara's association with her was putting Kara at risk (a far more likely thing).
The 100th episode addresses this to some degree in one of the AUs. Lena tells Kara that she wouldn't have had to risk her life dealing with Sam/Reign alone if she'd known the truth and she's absolutely right. And sure, Lena could've told SG and the DEO when she pieced Reign = Sam together but ask yourself, why would she? What assurance did she have that the DEO would not have treated her BEST FRIEND like a hostile instead of someone in need of help? The DEO is guilty of this and they have a history of locking up aliens indefinitely and on occassion straight up murder. After Reign nearly killed their biggest asset (i.e. SG) why in the hell would Lena trust them with helping Sam? She wouldn't nor should she have. She didn't know that she could go to SG because remember, Lena doesn't think of her the same way she does of Kara. SG is not her best friend. She doesn't have a personal, humanized relationship with her (at least not that she knows of). And obviously she's not going to tell Kara the human reporter with the DEO agent sister about it either. And the kryptonite? SG lost her shit over it even though she's been working with the DEO who stockpiled the stuff until SM left with it (a dumbass move that would've bit them so hard in the ass with the WK situation if it weren't for Lena's kryptonite!). Plus, Kara didn't have an issue with Oliver having a kryptonite arrow, J'onn having a sword. But Lena? How dare she!
So yea no. I get that "I kept my secret to protect you" is a popular thing in the hero world but in the case of Kara and Lena, it doesn't make sense and it did make situations unnecessarily harder.
2. She didn't trust Lena
This is mentioned by Kara to William in a deleted scene from S5 but I think it's worth exploring. I'm not sure to what extent Kara means with this but it could be referring to the moments as SG where she did display a distrust of Lena's intentions and she used Lena's personal relationships against her (i.e. asking James to break into Lena's lab). I mentioned the S3 shitshow with the kryptonite which is where a lot of this started but there's also other scenes in that same season where SG pretty much calls into question the so-called trust she has in Lena despite claiming otherwise. The switch was so abrupt the minute she learned Lena not only had but knew how to make kryptonite. Did anyone ever consider why Lena would bother learning how to make kryptonite? I'd hazard a guess that it was something she was looking into even before Sam/Reign. I think she happened to find Lex's stock and she decided to learn how it works and why it affects the Supers like it does. That would explain how Lena seems to be the ONLY ONE able to make an anti-kryptonite suit and other viable forms of the rock (i.e. Harun el). But no, SG and others immediately jump to the worst conclusions and associate the endeavour with Lena's last name, something SG KNOWS Lena is sensitive about it. And then the harun el. SG was suddenly fine with Lena making it when it was to split Sam from Reign and save Argo from extinction. But when it was used for something else that Lena didn't clue her in on (and what do you know, Alex, Brainy and James didn't either and they KNEW what Lena was doing with it) she got back on her high horse and the distrust became front and centre. You can't trust Lena as Kara and then immediately distrust her as SG and expect her to be accepting of this dichotomy. I'm surprised the woman managed to retain her sanity.
And still, this reasoning doesn't quite hit the mark in comparison to every other insistence of Kara believing in Lena (from day one she even told Clark that she believed Lena after meeting her for the first time). But the contrasting opinions and actions must have given Lena pause. I don't blame her to call into question which version of the truth was real and choosing to believe the worst. It's what SG and the SFs have been doing to her.
3. She was wary of Lena
This isn't an explicitly given reason but I do think it's how the secret keeping started in S2. Frankly, I don't even blame Kara for not showing her full deck in the beginning because she (and even us as an audience) didn't know much about Lena beyond wanting to do good and not be like her family. So no, Kara not telling Lena in the beginning actually makes sense to me (though she told Nia in a split second but that's neither here nor there). For me, I started to seriously take Lena at her word after the Medusa episode. That would've been the perfect opportunity for her to show the true "xenophobic" colours some parts of the fandom accuse her of having and she didn't do it. I don't think she even got so much as a thank you for it. People praise SM for getting Lex arrested but ultimately it was Lena's testimony that got him thrown behind bars. Same thing with Lillian! And yes, the daxamite invasion was facilitated by Lena unwittingly working with Rhea but she fixed it with the lead dispersal bomb, a device she allowed SG the privilege of using or not. So Kara and the SFs being cautious about Lena really should've evaporated halfway through S2 (and it did for Kara at least). In fact, the daxamite invasion may not have happened if Lena knew exactly who Rhea was and her relation to Mon-El because they would've warned Lena about it. Lena did want Kara's advice on Rhea and she would've waited for it if she knew what was going on (i.e. Alex being held hostage) and hell, might've been able to fix it in typical Lena ex machina fashion.
4. She didn't want to lose her
This is probably as close to the truth as we've gotten and it's actually part of her confession in 5x01 (something her outburst in 5x19 tries to undo). But the thing is, Kara KNEW this was a possibility and yet, continued walking towards the deadly cliff with her eyes wide open. The probability of losing Lena got higher and higher as time went on and it was always inevitable. There was always this spotlight placed on Kara telling Lena or Lena finding out on her own but there was always a HUGE chance that Lillian would've told her. Or Lex, which is exactly what happened. And Kara knew that they knew and yet she did nothing about it. The minute kara found out Lillian knew she should've taken action, what guarantee did she have that Lillian wouldn't have gotten bored of waiting for Lena to piece it together? How can they just leave Lillian with dangerous knowledge like that is beyond me. When Alex in particular has made such a big deal about people knowing, didn't want Kara telling Lena, only allowed Kara to tell Lucy to save J'onn and yet, letting Lillian amble about with this info is okay??? Nothing was stopping her from telling Lena or it slipping during one their chess games and definitely nothing stopping Lex from dropping that bomb.
The 100th episode AUs showed us that each time it was Kara telling the truth, no matter how hurt and upset Lena rightfully was, she was ultimately fine with it. And Kara ends up losing her to death, not because Lena walked away. How this wasn't the takeaway message for Kara after that adventure, idk. It was Kara's hesitatancy in telling Lena that allowed Lex to weaponize this secret and twist it into something it never was. And yes, Kara doesn't owe a damn soul her secret and has rarely ever been given the chance to tell anyone on her own terms (James - told by SM, Alex, J'onn, Brainy, Mon-El, the Legion - always knew, Lex & Lillian, Lord & Cat - found out somehow). She only ever got to tell Winn, Lucy and Nia and I'm sorry but none of those people have ever proven themselves trustworthy at the time of the reveal the way Lena has.
So while Kara is every right to keep her secrets, she was wrong to insert herself in Lena's life if she never had any intention of telling her and let's be honest, it really didn't seem like Kara had any timeline on that front.
5. She was selfish
Similar to the above and also mentioned during the confession but this is even deeper. Lena was something of an outlet for Kara, a way to feel completely normal, something she hasn't been able to experience with anyone, even Mon-El. Can you imagine being a cub reporter who knows powerful CEO Lena Luthor and having said CEO choose to spend time with you? Choose to let you interview her when she's wary of the press (remember her interactions with Clark in 2x01 and her family history)? Choose to treat your problems as important and valid and human? I don't blame Kara at all for being selfish with Lena, for wanting to keep Lena all to herself like that. But to not share the other aspects of herself was seriously wrong too and resulted in this imbalance in their relationship. To Lena, it looks like she was giving all of herself when Kara was not. It looks like she put all her trust and vulnerabilities out there when Kara didn't. It looks like Kara was using her (which let's be real, she kinda did a few times in S2 with the fight club and bs article to get info on Lillian and then ofc the CatCo-Edge problem she visited Lena for after ignoring her and proceeding to continue the rejection after Lena said she'd look into it).
You think post-reveal Lena didn't think back to all those moments and have those kinda thoughts? Even called into question what might've been the real reason James dated her and Kara was so insistent on befriending her? Were there perhaps times were she figured it out and can't remember and what's why she chose not to see it? Why do we think she still showed up game night in 4x22 instead of confronting Kara? Because these thoughts amongst others must've been swarming her mind and the only way to keep the upper hand is to continue playing dumb. So yes, Kara made the conscious decision to be selfish with Lena because of the unexpected connection they forged and I get it totally. But Lena has never been selfish and she's always made hard efforts to be a damn good friend (and she was idc what others might think on that) and open herself up to Kara despite how difficult and frankly foreign that is for her.
So are Kara's reasons valid? To a point, I would say yes but their validity waned over the seasons to the point where the secret keeping didn't even make sense anymore.
So was Lena's anger valid? Yes! 100% it was and honestly, I'm surprised she managed to keep it together for so long. I couldn't. But her anger doesn't justify her actions (mind control, manipulating Kara, threatening Russell, holding J'onn's bro captive, putting Hope inside Eve) and how she went out of her way to hurt Kara back. However, I get why she did it though it's worth pointing out that this is the only instances of a betrayal in her life where Lena has gone this far. Bitch straight up spiralled where previously she would cut ties and move the fuck on with life. But with Kara, that doesn't even seem to manifest itself to Lena as an option. Will the show ever address the obvious WHY for this and for Kara being so so terrified of losing Lena (like honestly I have never seen Kara look more distressed).
Maybe, maybe not but regardless I'm not buying this platonic friends nonsense because no one is that devastated over a friendship. Many of us (myself included) have experienced falling outs with very close friends and breakups. Which one do you think the Kara/Lena rift in S5 felt like? It was full on heartbreak, loving someone in complete torment and not being able to stop despite wanting to because even though it's painful, the alternative is infinitely worse.
MB and KM's acting choices aside, these idiot showrunners have brought us to this point with their own narrative and the only logical next step is to make them canon.
Lol okay I'm done.

I always liked the comparison of the Q Continuum being like the FAE/Sídhe/etc of "space", so those like Erlkönig could in my eyes fit our Q (specifically making that for adults tho so it can be Picard who he choses to get, different from the original legends where it's children and teenagers who those creatures pick).
I think there's lot of horrorfying content that comes from them, you can choose whatever one you would like, even if only to take a general inspiration.
Explanation:
This is set in an AU, where Star Trek TNG happened, just in a historical inaccurate medieval fantasy setting.
The Enterprise is an elite division of the Federation, which is not an organization of various planets but of countries.
They met Q on one of their missions, where told them the High Council of the Fae is unsure of the worthiness of humanity, the stackes are not as high as it was in the original verse though.
Q is considered an odd Fae, for being outside of the Realm on occassions, more often since encountering them and 'playing games' with them.
I tried to get sort of the vibe of the Erlkönig (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS91p-vmSf0)
It was a dark and stormy night as Jean-Luc Picard rode through a forest on a road that seemed to grow longer and longer the longer he travelled on it.
The day had been stressful enough after having had a personal meeting with his superiors, who told him to race towards a far off village because his presence was needed there 'immediatly'.
What struck him as strange however was, that they made it clear to him, that this was a solo and secret mission and therefore his troop wasn't allowed to accompany him.
Still, ever the loyal and reliable Captain, he took the map and went on his way.
And here he was, hungry, thirsty and alone in a rather unwelcoming forest.
"Oh, Jean-Luc, what a nice coincidence to meet you here.", came a voice on his left.
Realizing that this already miserable night was about to get much worse, he look at the strange being next to him, who was floating in the air keeping at the exact same speed as his horse.
"Q, I have neither the time nor the patience to deal with you right now. So leave me alone and find yourself another distraction."
The last time they met Picard nearly lost his live and it was only by Qs interference he managed to survive. And in usual circumstances this would have made him a bit more agreeable towards this strange Fae, but his exhaustion and tiredness was getting the better of him.
Still, the way Q was smiling at him was more than a bit unnerving.
"Oh, trust me, you have more than enough time for me."
An unpleasant thought came to Picards mind. The last time he checked the map the road through the otherwise big forest was much shorter than the road he has been travelling for what must have been the last hours.
"Q, what are you doing here?", he managed to ask in what he hoped was an annoyed tone.
The smile on Qs face turned into a grin.
"I should be asking you that. After all, you are in my home. Or better to say, the entrance to it."
There are coincidences and then there are coincidences. But surely Command would not have sent him on this mission just to deliver him on Qs doorstep.
Q gave out a hearty laugh.
"Oh, yes, they did, mon capitaine. I can be quite generous, if I want to be. Or quite threatening. It really depends on my mood."
'This is Q.' he told himself as he began to fear the slight shiffers of fear get to his heart and spine. 'Q may be a trickster and a nuisance, but not a threat.'
His thoughts however got interrupted by a rumbling stomach that was reminding him of the human need for nutrition.
"Poor dear. You really have been on the road for a while, haven't you? Here, how about you get off that high horse of yours and I give you a feast the likes you have never had before."
And there in the distance, Picard could see it. A huge colorful banquett of food he couldn't see but the aromas still made their way to him.
On his left Q made a point of eating the most delicious seeming pie he has ever seen. Q offered Picard a slice of it.
To his own disappointment declining Qs offer was much more difficult then he would have wanted.
Just how long has he ridden through this forest to become this hungry?
His horse seemed to neither smell nor hear anything. Maybe this was all just a hallucination of his sleep-deprived mind. It certainly looked like the better alternative.
Pretending to be offended by the rejection of his benevolent offer, Q decided to change tactics and made the banquet and the pie disappear.
"So, the good captain is stronger than his hunger. Well, human can live days without food, but what about water? Or wine, if that is more to the standards of your heritage?"
"Q, stop this nonsense and let me out of your goddamn forest."
"Oh, but you haven't even seen a fracture of what this 'forest' can offer you. What I can offer you."
And what seemed to be an otherworldly paradiese appeared just behind the trees.
Deciding that perhaps ignoring Q would make him give up, fear finally did manage to grip his heart as he looked away from these strange displays around him and ahead of the road only to see that he must not have moved an inch since Q appeared.
Trying his best to keep up his stoic facade he turned to Q only to see that the Faes smile has turned rather bittersweet.
Judging by the beings changed posture and mimic this was no game to Q.
Hoping to find the route of the problem he now found himself in, Picard changed his course of action, he made his horse stop and gave Q his full attention.
"Why are you doing this, Q?
"You are mortal and while it's usually something I like to make fun about only when that beast ran its spear through your heart I began to realize what exactly that meant for you and me.
That sooner or later you could get a wound even I would not be able to heal and even if no illness nor enemy takes you away age and the resulting death surely will."
"But I am mortal. Sooner or later everyone will have to face death."
"Not here. As long as you stay here I can make you ageless. And I will never be ..."
Q cut himself off, clearly embarrassed by whatever he was going to say.
Exasperated of what he could now see were the pleas of a lonely immortal, Jean-Luc hoped that perhaps getting Q to see reason would help get him out.
"I am sorry, but I don't want to become ageless. All I want is to get out of here and return home. I can't give you what you want, Q, but maybe you'll find someone who will be able to appreciate this offer."
The look he got as a reaction was worrying to say the least.
"Oh no, I am the one who is sorry, Jean-Luc."
Getting closer, he reached his hand out to cup his face so they were eye to eye.
Q gave him a short kiss on the lips and whispered:
"Because if you are not coming willingly, I'll have to use force."
