an! ive been busy with school & this acc is probably dead but i still want to contiune posting fics & drabbles because my mind is too creative & i have a whole bunch of drafts that are semi-complete that are ready to be posted! hope ygs enjoy the ex-husband!gojo series
Tumblr media
ex-husband!gojo satoru who arrives at your doorstep with a bouquet of roses and you great him with a polite nod as you lead him into your apartment when kara starts to beam with happiness.
"daddy!" kara screams before jumping up into satoru's arm, crinkling the plastic wrapped around the assorted colored roses. "it isn't wednesday...why are you here?" you ask cautiously, walking and standing at the kitchen island watching the two embrace each other.
"was in the city for some meetings with the higher ups, thought i could come by and hangout with my girls." he says innocently, putting kara down and then the flowers on the kitchen island. you sigh, bending down under the sink to reach for the ceramic vase you and satoru had created together during one of your dates, many years ago.
"we should make another vase, with kara of course." satoru inclines once he sees you start to fill up the vase with water. "that's a good idea, you can take kara when you have her." you say, opening the bouquet of flowers and cutting the ends off before arranging the flowers into a beautiful arrangement.
"but it'll be fun as a family, y'know. want kara to have that family bonding experience we both never had."
he was right. growing up was never easy with distant parents who never wanted you. finding out you were pregnant with kara had every right to make you scared and have thoughts of giving her up. generational trauma was something you were scared of passing down to your daughter. satoru was right in everywhere to include everyone as a family even if you were divorced.
ex-husband!gojo who persuades you into going out as a family and you find yourself sitting across from your ex-husband with little kara sitting next to him in the cozy bistro.
the bistro had it's usual soft, romantic lighting that seemed to mock the awkwardness in the air. you wanted to be happy. happy because your daughter was happy but, it always felt wrong to look like a happily married couple out in public because you weren't married.
“what’re you gonna get suteki?” you ask, watching her pull and play at satoru’s white locks. “i dunno mommy. wan’ share strewberdy milfshake with daddy.” she says, presenting a smile at you as satoru makes kara sit down correctly.
(suteki is kara’s nickname; originally it had been yours given by satoru after seeing how beautiful you were physically and emotionally. a beautiful heart that was passed down to another beautiful heart.)
"we can all share a strawberry milkshake, how about we add some vanilla cake too?" satoru chimes in and kara immediately agrees. daughter like daddy. a major sweet tooth.
the waiter came by and asked if the three had been ready with their order, they placed their order.
time passed and the vanilla cake along with a large strawberry milkshake with extra strawberries on the side presented with three straws in the drink was placed onto the table.
conversations flowed effortlessly as kara blabbed on about her experience in kindergarten and how she's really not the happiest camper about learning english when she moves a grade above. satoru wore his blindfold like usual but, there was never a time where you never could not feel his eyes on you. feeling you get shy when you start to smile and laugh a little too hard when you see kara get annoyed at satoru's antics.
with kara knocked out due to a sugar crash, draped over satoru's shoulder as the three of you walk back to the station. satoru intertwined his fingers with yours and even though it took a little while for you to reciprocate the same action, you held his hand the entire walk back to the station.
"maybe we should try being a couple again...it wouldn't hurt right?" he says, squeezing your hand a few times before you looked up at him. "satoru..." you whisper and he sighs, his lips turned a slight upside down, "why not y/N...look at us right now. it seems so natural."
"i don't want to hurt you...again."

Ok but Krypton!lives au but clark isn't some jerk alien prince, he is a brat no doubt but he's also just so oblivious to everything. Have some of my headcanons for this:
•I imagine it starting with kal el dropping down on Kansas farm [grown up and shit] being found by the Kents as they patch him up and take him down on the guest room, he wakes up freaks out a bit speaking in kryptonian and just floating around the house being overly careful of everything, ma and pa kent are confused and so is Kal, he tries to communicate with them and they finally find a common ground and after a month clark finally learns the human language.
•zod has managed to exile kal from his home planet, suffice to say kal el is currently heartbroken and looking for help
•Kal just saw some random pair of glasses and thought they were so cool so now he just wears them whenever he's in casual clothes but is in no way trying to hide his identity, people are just that dumb.
•Does not get social cues at all and will unwillingly say the wrong thing at the wrong time, he's just a happy little guy who wants to explore this strange planet and then go home
•he particularly likes rock music despite his personality, he finds hardcore metal music soothing
•he once tried to eat Batman's ears, in his defence they looked edible to him,
•Diana loves to fill in kal with false information about the human race, kal is not stupid enough to belive them but follows them anyways just because he thinks it would be funny
•Bruce has a very subtle crush on him and kal notices this immediately, he's confused as to why Bruce pretends to hate him
•The whole league [escpically bruce] is overprotective of him, lex Luthor doesn't stand a fucking chance
•Kal el has no filter and will call you out with a bright innocent smile and float away moving on with his day
•Kal lives in the watchtower only visiting earth for league business, he rarely works alone
•he floats near the Zeta tubes almost everyday hoping to see bruce and when he's not there he's disappointed
• he refuses to walk, he thinks he's done enough walking for a life time and bruce has to tug on kal's cape to make sure he isn't floating above his seat
•he is way more capable of communicating his emotions in kryptonian then in English, he will switch to kryptonian when he's ranting or angry
•Diana and Barry are the ones who suggest he make a civilian identity, and thus is born reporter clark kent.
•He still visits the Kents here and then bringing them souvenirs from space
•Does not understand when someone is flirting with him but will bring bruce random animals he finds in the wild as gifts because "I heard from Jason you like adopting tiny lonely beings"
•he's still pretty good at hiding his identity somehow and at this point as learned all social cues and slang thanks to lois
•yet he still decides to fuck with the league, he gives batman forehead kisses, he once called green lantern a thot ["does that not mean thoughtful?"] And will very knowingly insult anyone who even looks at his loved ones the wrong way
•while bruce is more open of his protectiveness [and possessiveness] of clark, Clark himself is more subtle and quiet about it, but not forgetting he's still technically a spoiled prince of Krypton cannot share. He snatches bruce and gets pouty whenever bruce is talking or flirting with anybody else
•it takes them five years to get together but it finally happenes and they start dating
•the kryptonians finally find clark and force him to go with them but clark now refuses even if his exile is over.
•unfortunately he really can't leave his planet behind and has to leave [he and bruce have a long sad conversation and clark breaks down]
•A month later bruce is handling another team meeting when Clark finally comes back
•he offically leaves Krypton to his older cousin Kara and moves in with bruce
•his favourite movies are the James bond movies
•The batfam all adore him
•Basically I want a Au of sweet innocent clark that's oblivious to innuendos and shit while bruce suffers in silence and the evolves into clark being a little shit who pretends he doesn't know what he's doing when pulls bruce close and whispers in his ear about smth knowing damm well he's doing things to Bruce.
Also-
Diana: Batman if your done fighting with your boyfriend, we need to leave
Batman: wha- kal is NOT my boyfriend!
Kal: (has only be in earth for a year) I'm not?
Batman: I-
Kal: Am I not your friend?
Batman: no kal I never said-
Kal: am I not a boy?
*jla snickering in the back*

Consider: Kara teaching Kon some of her Kryptonian-Terran fusion recipes. And Kon teaching her to make Hawai'ian coffee. Just sharing pleasant thoughts because I'm very stressed.
anon how did you know i've been feeling insane about kara wearing kon's glasses again today??? (it's not rocket science i feel insane about this every day)
the thing w postcrisis kara that gets me, when i try to think about her and kryptonian recipes and food, is that... she was a teenager. an adolescent. her main interest was art, and then she decided to take up science as well to try and bridge the gaps between new krypton and earth. when new krypton was established, she thought she had time. room to breathe, to grow, to learn.
i don't think she knows very many kryptonian recipes at all. what teenager who isn't particularly interested in cooking, who was living with her family, would? i don't think the idea of getting [new] krypton back and then losing it again would've occurred to her until it was too late.
which isn't to say i think she knows nothing, because i mean, most teenagers i would say probably know at least the basics of the kitchen. but i think there's such a tragedy in the wealth of traditional foods and recipes she will never know. and she will always think about that. she got one birthday on new krypton, to celebrate with her people, her mom, her kryptonian friends. her next birthday would be on earth, orphaned, picking up the pieces all over again. i am certain she spends that day missing kryptonian home cooking more than anything.
all of which is to say: i really love love looove the idea of kara, ma, and kon sitting down to try and figure something out here. kara's bonding with kon after he comes back, because she was wearing his glasses and they're cousins and she wanted to know him and i will die on this hill, and they're just hanging out at the farm and she mentions it being so frustrating that she remembers how all these things taste but she doesn't know how to make them, or how to approximate them with earth ingredients. and kon goes hmmm... oh!!! 💡 ma's a whiz in the kitchen. she might have some ideas!!
so they end up all three of them sitting at the kitchen table. kara describes a dish, kon helps her try to figure out how to put it into english terms if she's stuck trying to describe something she doesn't know a direct translation for, or comes up with examples to compare it to ("do you mean it's light and fluffy and creamy? like gelato?" "kind of, yeah, but not that melty?") until ma goes "oh! that consistency sounds kind of like meringue," and it's just a big ol session of them brainstorming together.
basically what i'm getting at is, inventing those kryptonian-terran fusion recipes is a family bonding experience.

I updated this because folks' commenting got me inspired and because I can't seem to sleep unless I finish writing. Excerpt:
Lena enters Kara’s office at Catco, which is now covered in boxes and documents. Many of said documents are taped to the window with arrows in different colored markers linking documents. Words are scribbled above the lines, the handwriting messy and very hard to read. Knowing what she does now, Lena realizes it’s because Kara’s learned English as a teenager, and with her superstrength, she probably had to learn how to write without breaking everything. 
She walks up to the mess on the window. Kara isn’t in the room yet. Lena had woken this morning in her bed, the blankets tucked gently around her — Lena had fallen asleep on the flight back to her loft — and on her nightstand by her unfinished scotch, Kara had left a note: Here’s the key to my office. I know you get up early for work, so just go on in. I’ll bring us lunch.
So here she is, standing in front of this… very oddly organized clues, her arms crossed as she read through the documents taped to the window. The key is still in her pocket, and Lena recognizes that giving it to her had been a form of trust. 
Trust. Such a difficult thing for her to give anyone. Eve's betrayal still haunts Lena, because she let Eve in. Lowered her guard, just like she has for Kara. Lena is furious with Eve, but that same fury simply fizzles when she thinks of Kara. Instead, she feels conflicted. She taps her fingers against her arm, frustrated. Kara has become a jigsaw puzzle, all these pieces slowly being revealed and yet none quite fit together. Can she trust Kara?
__
Read it all on AO3.
Oh yeah, I also drew art for this chapter. Kara's hands are a little wonky because I have a hand tremor, and I draw by hand. This is in greyscale because color is difficult. Yes, it's based on a screencap of Lena and Kara on Lena's private plane. Enjoy.

Baby Driver
Pairing: Kara Danvers x Lena Luthor
Summary: Lena doesn't know how to drive and Kara offers to teach her so she can take her license, however, driving proves to be harder than Lena thought it would be.
Disclaimer: English is not my first language. I kind of stole someone's idea from a tag on a post, but they totally told me I could do it!
Tumblr media
READ ON AO3 | MASTERPIECE
“Wait, you don’t know how to drive?”
Lena knew she had said too much when every head turned at her with equally surprised looks. It had been a silly comment about how she would have to wait for Sam to stop to drive her by every morning when they first started working together and forged their friendship. Her intention was to tell her friends about her rebellious times against the Luthor family and how she spent months refusing to take anything from them, which included their hired drivers, not to mention their money as well, that being the reason why Lena couldn’t take a cab and had to wait for Sam to walk to her apartment complex so they could take Lena’s second-hand car to work. It was supposed to be a funny thing where her friends would laugh at her stubbornness, maybe tease her for having Sam walk all the way to her apartment just so they could take Lena’s car for work. She was also partially waiting to engage in a conversation with J’onn about the very old car she managed to buy with the amount of money she was making at her very first job.
That’s not what happened, though.
Well, her friends did laugh at her story but, of course, Alex, being the secret agent she liked to think she was, picked up on the small detail in what Lena said that the youngest Luthor had thought no one would even notice.
With a groan, Lena threw her head back against the back of the couch, silently cursing herself for the slip-up. Sitting beside her on the comfortable couch was Kara, who placed a gentle hand on her forearm draped lazily across the couch between them, and Lena forced herself to look at their friends again. She had to make a conscious effort not to melt against Kara and forget about everything else, so, instead of letting her lovey-dovey eyes meet Kara, she chose to point a finger at Alex instead.
“You can’t mock me. I was too busy getting a double degree along with a doctorate.”
The redhead raised her hands in mock surrender from where she was sitting on the floor beside Kelly, with sweet little Esme in front of them while playing with some legos. “Hey, put your guns away, Luthor. I’m just curious. You can put a rocket together with your hands tied behind your back and blindfold while also wearing a kilt-”
“I shouldn’t have told you I’m Irish,” Lena wailed.
“-and you don’t know how to drive?” Alex finished the sentence as if Lena hadn’t said anything, although she quickly pointed a finger at the brunette to add: “I cherish that information, thank you very much.”
Lena rolled her eyes and was about to argue something back, but Brainy beat her to it. “It is actually not that surprising that Lena knows how to build a rocket but can’t drive a car. Those are different things.”
“I like you,” Lena declared with a smile towards her friend which prompted a laugh from everyone else. She waited until it died down before speaking again. “But really, I just never had the time to learn. I also never had a reason to. I mean, my rebellious time lasted just a few months until I went out of money to buy books. I always had a driver ready to take me everywhere and it hadn’t changed over the years, so yes. Not everyone thinks they are going to star in the next Fast and Furious movie, Danvers.”
“I resent that,” Alex commented with a smile that let Lena know she was just joking.
Coming to her aid, Kelly placed a hand on her wife’s shoulder to keep her from teasing Lena any further. “You have time now,” she gently reminded Lena. “Don’t you want to learn it?”
Lena was happy that Kelly very gracefully avoided saying that she also didn’t have a driver anymore. After defeating Lex - again - just a few weeks ago, Lena was still trying to put her life on track. She knew she would want to put L-Corp back on its feet again, but Lena was taking her precious time to do it this time around so she wouldn’t be overloaded with work again. Meanwhile, Lena was still sharing Kara’s apartment with her, studying for another doctorate - that she honestly didn’t need, but that was something nice to put her attention on - and spending her free time trying to come up with ways to improve Kara’s super suit, helping the rest of the team or coming to terms with her past.
It had been fun, to put it simply.
“Well, I suppose,” Lena ended up replying after considering the question for a few seconds. “It’s not something I miss, but it would be nice to know how to drive if I ever need it for some reason.”
That’s when Kara decided to jump into the conversation with her usual overly excited personality. “I can teach you.”
Before Lena could ever think about replying to that - and she would have to admit it would take a while to get her brain to function because she made the mistake of looking to the side and she met Kara’s blinding beautiful smile and bright blue eyes, and it was just too much to handle - Alex had her own input in the subject. “No way! You’re a terrible driver, Kara!”
“I’m not!” The blonde quickly argued as she glanced at her sister with her mouth hanging open in shock.
“You so are,” Alex scoffed.
“She’s not,” Nia said, coming to help her mentor in the stupid argument going on. “She used to drive around a lot with me when I first started working at CatCo.”
“Thank you, Nia!” Kara exclaimed happily. “See?” She then skillfully dodged the pillow that Alex threw her way.
“How much did you pay her to say that?”
“Nothing!” Very maturely, Kara stuck her tongue out to Alex.
While everyone else shared a laugh at the sister’s antics, Lena decided to place her hand on Kara’s thigh to show her some support - and also just because she could. “I appreciate the offer, but I don’t think you want to waste your time trying to teach me how to drive.”
“Of course I want!” Kara chirped in quickly, already turning herself on the couch so she could face Lena more easily. Their knees were almost brushing against it other now and it made Lena smile like a schoolgirl. “I always want to spend time with you!”
The chorus of “aww” that went around only made Lena blush a little, but she didn’t think twice before leaning over to kiss Kara’s lips - because she could do that now! She could kiss Kara now. She could just lean closer and kiss Kara’s lips, and, for the love of God, that was something Lena loved doing. Lena was almost sure that Kara had some addicting poison in her lips because she had been hooked since the first time she did that, but she honestly didn’t mind. She could kiss Kara now, and they were sharing an apartment, and they held hands while walking down the street to Noonan’s, and they drew each other silly things in the bathroom mirror just to make the other person smile when they took a shower next.
“It’s going to be fun,” Kara said after they pulled away from the chaste kiss. She didn’t go too far and her nose was still brushing against Lena’s, which made it a bit hard for the brunette to think while she looked at the bright blue eyes staring at her. “You can take your license then and we can have one of those cute dates at the parking lot theater outside town.”
Okay, Lena wanted that.
She found herself nodding before she even thought it through, though, but it was worth it when Kara yelped and pulled her in for a thigh hug. Lena laughed happily while she tried to find a comfortable position for the hug, deciding lastly to rest her cheek on Kara’s chest as her arm wrapped around the blonde’s waist. Nia and Kelly were clapping and playfully telling her words of encouragement, while J’onn was just smiling at them all and Brainy was trying to help Esme with her Lego tower, but Alex looked just a bit concerned as if she wasn’t entirely sure this was a good idea.
“Can’t you drive there?” She mumbled at Kara, but she backed away when her sister threw her a warning look. “Well, I’m sure Lena can figure out how to drive a car. She can drive a spaceship, so it won’t be a problem.”
“I will pretend I didn’t hear your sarcasm, Danvers,” Lena replied.
“And I will pretend you don’t shove your tongue down my sister’s throat, Luthor,” Alex shot back with one arched eyebrow.
Lena shrugged. “Not only there.”
The reactions she got to that were immediate and hilarious. Alex groaned and put her hands on her face, while her wife laughed loudly, falling back on the floor. Nia pretended to be shocked and covered Esme’s ears but she was also laughing when she had to lean over to explain to Brainy what Lena meant by that while J’onn announced that was his cue to go to the kitchen to grab another soda. Kara, on the other hand, blushed a deep shade of red and hugged Lena even harder so she could hide her face in the crook of Lena’s neck.
“Zhao,” the whispered the complaint against Lena’s skin, although she sounded a bit amused too.
The word of endearment, though, made Lena’s heart swell with love and pride. Kara had been more and more open about her heritage after they made amends, especially after they started that tentative relationship between them, and hearing Kara speaking her native language with her almost made Lena’s heart beat faster.
It made her raise her head, untangling herself from Kara’s arms, to peck her lips again and that had been it. The conversation ended there and they shortly decided to go back to their game of Scrabble, which Lena, of course, won. Alex, Kelly and Esme left not too long after that, with the kid already half asleep in her mom’s arms. Nia, Brainy and J’onn helped them clean up before the Martian offered the couple a ride home, and then there was only Kara and Lena left at the studio apartment.
Lena honestly thought the conversation would be forgotten soon. She knew she would eventually have to face Alex’s jokes about it every once in a while, but it was fine. Lena was a grown woman, she could handle it - and she could always make her sister-in-law shut up by making some not-so-innocent comments about Kara. She did think Kara’s offer to teach her how to drive wouldn’t be remembered, however.
So, imagine her surprise when Kara took her to a mostly empty parking lot on a Sunday afternoon when they were supposed to be home cuddling on the couch while watching a re-run of Desperate Housewives.
“Uh,” Lena said when she stopped walking. The parking lot wasn’t necessarily big since it was behind Noonan’s, and she could see two cars parked there, but she was confused because they had walked there from Kara’s apartment. “What are we doing here?”
“What do you think?” Kara asked excitedly. She had kept walking, now doing it backward so she could look at Lena, and her smile was large. “I’m teaching you how to drive!”
“What?”
“I told you I would do it, didn’t I?” Kara laughed, finally stopping in her tracks to open her arms. “So here we are!”
Lena looked around slowly. There was a large garbage bin pressed against the back of the restaurant, a few light poles spread around and, other than the two cars, there was nothing else. No trees, no bushes, no sidewalk, nothing. Even so, Lena started feeling sweat forming on her forehead because that was insane. She didn’t need to learn how to drive. She had managed to live that long without driving!
“Come on,” Kara called her while waving a hand for Lena to get closer. “It’s going to be fun!”
Lena really should learn how to say no to Kara.
That was starting to become a problem.
She sighed and started walking slowly towards the blonde, as if her slow pace could, somehow, make the other woman change her mind - or a meteor to fall from the sky right on top of her, although she was sure Kara would find a way to stop it before it happened. So, apparently, she was doomed to learn how to drive.
It wasn’t like she was afraid to do so or that she didn’t trust Kara to be a good teacher, but… Lena had never done it. She never sat behind the wheel. But it couldn’t be that hard, right? She had done harder things in her life, for sure.
“Is that Alex’s car?” Lena asked suddenly when she recognized the vehicle parked right behind Kara. The other car was all the way across the parking lot, very far away.
“Yes!” Kara answered her happily as she turned around to show it to Lena. It was a black car, beautiful she could say, and brand new.
Very new.
As in “Alex bought it two months ago” new.
Lena arched one eyebrow. “How did you convince her to let you use her car?” Alex hadn’t let anyone but herself and Kelly drive it, so Lena couldn’t even imagine how that conversation went.
“Oh, you know,” Kara waved a hand dismissively, which was enough indication that Lena wasn’t going to like her answer, “I told her I couldn’t take J’onn’s car because it’s so old and it’s very unlikely you will ever drive something like that.”
“And she just said yes?”
This time Kara hesitated. She refused to look back at Lena and her eyes kept staring at the back of the car for several seconds before she sighed. “I told her it might be nice to teach you how to drive so you could take your license in case something ever happens and you need to take Esme from school.”
The words were said in a rush, but Lena understood them clearly. She was too shocked to say anything at first, although a big smile slowly took over her face. “You bribed Alex with her own kid? Oh my, Kara Zor-El, you’re evil.”
Kara groaned, doing her best to glance at Lena with her innocent blue eyes. “I’m not even that sorry,” she admitted.
Lena laughed and approached Kara to kiss her cheek. “Come on, let’s get moving with it.”
A minute later, Lena was sitting behind the wheel for the first time in her life. Kara was sitting by her side with a grin and a very chill-out attitude, which was the complete opposite of how Lena was feeling. She had been afraid to touch anything until Kara told her she would need to adjust the review mirror and the seat, but she hadn’t moved since she did that and placed both of her hands on the wheel. Her knuckles were a bit white but they both pretended not to notice it.
“Okay, so there’s really no secret here. You’re going to start the car, change gears and put it into drive. Then you’re going to slowly step on the gas pedal while you remove your foot from the brake and you’re going to take off.”
“That’s it?” Lena asked in confirmation.
Kara chuckled. “That’s it, yes. I mean, it would’ve been harder if it was a stick-shift car, but this is automatic. You don’t have to do much, really. Just keep both hands on the steering wheel and don’t step too hard on the gas pedal.”
Lena could do that.
That was way easier than putting a rocket back together or driving a spaceship.
She could do it.
With a deep breath, Lena put her hand on the keys and turned it to get the car started. She let it go after it made a loud noise, though.
“Too much,” Kara warned her with a gentle smile. “You don’t need to hold it for that long, but it worked, so now you change the gear. You’re going to put your hand here and press this button, then you’re going to move it to drive.” She waited until Lena did that before she clapped proudly. “Yes! Now you put the handbrake down. Okay, so your left foot is going to step on the brake and your right foot is for the gas pedal. Don’t mix them,” she joked, completely missing the gulp that made Lena’s throat bob. “Slowly press the gas pedal now.”
Lena could do it.
Really.
She could.
After another deep breath, Lena used the tip of her shoe to press on the gas pedal while she took her left foot from the brake.
Things happened way too fast after that.
The car jolted suddenly, making Lena hit her back hard against the seat, and it started to move forward with small jumps. A bit in panic, Lena ended up pressing the gas pedal again and the car went forward way faster than she ever wanted it to go, and her first reaction was to pull the handbrake up. Kara, luckily, saw what she was about to do and stopped her hand from touching it.
“No, no! We don’t pull the handbrake when we’re moving,” she said with a nervous laugh. They were going a bit faster than she would like for a first class, but the parking lot was larger than it seemed and there was nothing in front of them, so it was fine. Or that’s what she told herself while her other hand moved to the grab handle. “Just take your foot from the gas pedal and step on the brake.”
That’s what Lena did next, but, again, it was with much more intent than it should have been. The car came to a very sudden stop making Lena go forward and almost hit the wheel, before she stretched out her arms and pressed herself against the seat, eyes wide and heart racing. Kara hadn’t moved at all, although the blonde was looking through the windshield with her eyebrows raised and lips pursed. For a few seconds, no one said a thing, until Kara turned her head with an awkward smile.
“Well, we need to work on being more subtle,” she commented with a still gentle voice, though Lena could see her jaw twitch a bit.
“Jesus, Kara, this was a bad idea,” Lena said with a blush and sorrowful eyes. “I’m sorry, I-”
“No, no, no,” the other woman interrupted her quickly, trying to turn on her seat to take a better look at the brunette. “Don’t apologize. You’re learning! Did you always know how to mix chemicals or sold wires together or did you have to learn it?” She laughed. “It’s going to be fine, really. This time, just try to step more lightly on the gas pedal. If you want to brake, do it slowly, okay?”
Lena still looked unsure, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she looked forward again, sighed, and decided to try again. The second time around was better than the first, but she started to panic because she thought she was about to hit a tree - that was several feet away from them - and she ended up braking way too hard again. It kept happening for a while. Lena would move a few inches and suddenly step on the brake, afraid she might hit something, to the point where they hadn’t even reached the end of the parking lot to start making their way back.
Kara could feel herself getting a bit frustrated because, no matter what she said, Lena would still freak out and stop the car instead of keep driving. And not a smooth stop either. However, Kara refrained from saying anything about it since she knew that was the first time Lena was ever driving a car and because she knew that losing her temper wouldn’t help anyone. Even if Lena was having trouble making the car drive in a straight line.
“Okay, we’re going to stop here and try to turn around,” Kara said after another particular hard stop. Lena had started sweating at some point and she looked at the blonde as if she had suggested they jump off a cliff after she said that. “Lena, you need to learn how to turn the wheel, come on. Besides, if we keep going straight, you won’t have enough space to turn later.”
“Maybe that’s enough lesson for today,” Lena suggested with a grimace.
But Kara just chuckled. “We’ve been here for half an hour.” She must have seen the panic in Lena’s eyes though, because she softened her features and placed a warm hand on the other woman’s thigh. “We will cover the basics today and return some other day, okay?”
“Okay,” Lena agreed quietly.
“Good.” Kara leaned to kiss Lena’s cheek before she returned to her seat - her hand had not left the grab handle since the first time Lena stepped on the pedal. “Now, you’re going to go forward and, once you drive past that like mark on the floor, you’re going to start turning the wheel. We need to make a curve so we will be facing the other way, so don’t stop turning it, but remember to do it slowly. Don’t do it too fast or too hard or we will be jerked to the side. Oh, and take care with the garbage bin.”
Lena wasn’t sure if her heart beating fast or her sweaty palms were the worst, but she had no idea that driving would make her feel a step away from a heart attack. However, she didn’t want to let Kara down. She wanted to prove to her girlfriend that she could do it, that she could learn how to drive, but she also wanted Kara to be happy that she was the one who taught Lena. And Lena couldn’t deny that she also wanted to take Kara on that date the blonde had mentioned.
“Hey,” Kara softly called her when Lena kept staring at something in the distance. She waited until the younger Luthor was looking at her again before smiling and reaching out to take one of her hands for the steering wheel. “What if I tell you something funny to help you relax?” Neither of them missed the way Lena nodded eagerly at that, but Kara chose not to mention it. “Okay, so, I’m actually a good driver. I can hear when cars are getting closer, I respect literally all traffic laws, and I had never got involved in an accident. However…” Kara’s tone became playful and, even if Lena didn’t know the end of the story yet, it already made her smile. “I like to tease Alex a little bit. So, whenever she lets me drive, I go just a bit faster and make the curves a bit too closely to the other cars, and I pretend I’m not going to stop at the red lights or that I’m not seeing people crossing the road.” Kara chuckled.
Lena also laughed, shaking her head in amusement. “That’s why she said you’re a terrible driver?”
“Yes.” The blonde glanced up and winked at her. “I just like to see her squirm in her seat and it’s quite funny when she starts turning green,” she admitted shamelessly.
“You’re terrible,” Lena laughed, not even noticing how tension left her body.
“I know, but it’s fun.” Kara shrugged. “It’s nearly impossible for me to ever hit a car I’m driving. Come on, I have super senses and perfect reflexes. I can stop from hitting someone or something, and I can hear if someone is about to hit me and get out of the way. I don’t think Alex ever realized that, though.” She paused to narrow her eyes at Lena. “And you’re not going to tell her.”
Lena shook her head quickly. “Never, but I kind of want to be in the car the next time you drive her somewhere.”
“Deal,” Kara conceded with an overly dramatic handshake before she leaned closer to kiss Lena’s lips. “Now, come on. We can go home after you make the turn, I think you had enough emotions for one day.”
Lena felt much better after Kara’s little anecdote, much more confident too because she had Supergirl in the car with her. It was unlikely that anything bad would happen. So, with a small smile, Lena decided to get going with it.
She took her foot from the brake and stepped on the gas pedal, and, for the first time that day, the car didn’t jerk suddenly. It actually moved really smoothly and Lena didn’t feel the need to stop. She kept it going slow, looking at the review mirrors even if she knew there was no one behind her, and reminding herself that the trees were far away from where they were. Lena drove past the mark that Kara pointed out before and slowly, very slowly, started to turn the wheel.
“Very nice!” Kara celebrated. “Just keep going.” Lena surprisingly made the turn almost perfectly, although she did pull the wheel a bit harder when she got closer to the garbage bin even if it was clear she wasn’t going to hit it. Upon seeing that, Kara yelled like Lena had just saved the world again. “Keep going! Don’t stop! You’re doing great, just keep driving until we’re back to where we were parked before.”
Lena could do it.
It wasn’t that hard, really.
She just needed to keep both hands on the wheel and remember not to put too much strength into things.
Oh, no, they had another garbage bin?!
“Oh,” Kara breathed out when Lena pivoted the steering wheel so quickly that not even the alien saw it coming. “Wait, Lena, turn it again.” Again, she did it way faster than she should’ve and Kara almost moved to grab the steering wheel from her, but she kept herself from doing that at the same time she bit her bottom lip to hold back a scream. “Just keep going straight, okay? There’s nothing in front of you, you’re not going to hit anything.”
If Lena wasn’t panicking at that moment, she would’ve noticed how on edge Kara sounded and how badly she was holding herself from being unnecessarily rude - though it would’ve been a reaction out of fear. But, since Lena was too busy thinking that the trees were getting closer and that the garbage bin was moving toward her, her only concern was to keep driving. Which, ironically, was the opposite reaction she was having before when she would brake every few seconds.
Kara grabbed the seat beneath her and straightened her back as she held her breath, trying to show Lena she trusted her at the same time her brain was telling her she shouldn’t be trusting Lena right now. She saw the brunette driving mostly in a straight line after the sudden pivot from before and tried to relax, which didn’t work when she saw Lena driving past the point where she was supposed to stop.
“Lena-” she tried to warn her but got too afraid to say something that would make the brunette do something wrong again. “Uh…”
Kara’s eyes kept moving around while she tried to make sure everything was fine, though her hand grabbed her seat a bit harder. There was nothing to the sides, just the trees very far away and the back of Noonan’s, which was also not that close. The only thing in front of them was the other car parked there - which she knew belonged to the Noonan’s manager - but it was still a bit far and she was sure Lena was seeing it. It was right in the way and Lena wasn’t blind. She also seemed very eager to press the brake before, so Kara was sure they weren’t going to hit it.
Almost sure.
Once they got closer, Kara moved in her seat. “Lena… The… Uh, the car. You need to…”
Lena moved the steering wheel to the side, allowing Kara to breathe again, and the blonde let out a nervous chuckle when she looked to the side at the other woman. Well, now she was just thinking Lena was messing with her the same way she used to do with Alex. And, okay, fine, maybe she should stop doing that with her sister because it was actually a bit scary.
When Kara looked forward again, though, she saw the other car way closer than it should be.
Kara didn’t think twice before stretching her arm across Lena’s chest to hold her in place and avoid her getting hurt, and, a second later, both cars hit with a loud noise.
And then there was silence.
Kara’s arm was still holding Lena in place and they were both looking outside with wide eyes - though the brunette was the clear image of someone panicking while Kara just held no emotion in her face. Luckily, the airbag hadn’t been triggered since the car wasn’t that fast, but Kara could see the dents in both cars even without moving. Incredulous, Kara glanced around to make sure she had seen things right before.
There was nothing else there. Nothing. Just a single car that Lena managed to hit when she had all the space in the world to drive around it.
Unbelievable.
“Oh, no,” Lena breathed out finally, which put Kara into action immediately.
“Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”
Blue eyes moved to study the woman beside her to make sure she had been able to prevent Lena from getting hurt, searching for a scratch or a bruise, anything. Lena, however, just turned her head to look at her with wide eyes and a bit maniac expression. “You said it was impossible to get into a car accident with you!”
“I wasn’t the one driving!” Kara quickly defended herself in the same loud tone Lena had used, although she couldn’t help but start seeing some humor in it.
Holy shoot. Lena hit the only thing around them with Alex’s car.
“Fuck!” Lena yelled before putting both hands on her face. “Alex is going to kill me!”
“I don’t think she will,” Kara said with a hint of humor. “I mean, it’s more likely that she will drop dead before she thinks about killing you.”
“Kara!” The brunette exclaimed when her girlfriend started laughing. “That’s not funny!”
“It kind of is!” Kara kept laughing. “Look around, Lena, you hit the only thing in front of you for miles!”
“Kara!”
Before Lena could say anything else, the back door of the restaurant opened and the manager, probably having heard the noise, stepped out to go check what was going on. Kara’s smile disappeared as soon as she spotted the old man.
“Uh-uh,” she whispered.
Lena apologized profusely to the kind man. He didn’t seem mad, but he was a bit sad about the damage to his car. It had dented his back door, although Alex’s car was in a worse condition. Still standing in front of the man, Lena made a bank transaction, sending him enough money to buy three cars like his even if the man kept telling her there was no need to give him that much money. It made Lena’s bank account go even worse than it already was since she stepped back from L-Corp, but that was the least she could do. She still had money from other investments she had made and the man literally had nothing to do with anything that happened, so, yes, he deserved the money.
After that problem was solved, Kara, who had been behind to let Lena deal with things, smiled at her and offered her an apology for not being able to stop her in time. Lena wasn’t mad at her - she could see it was her fault now that she wasn’t so nervous anymore - and they ended up hugging each other while looking at the damage to Alex’s car for a while.
“Promise me you won’t let your sister kill me,” Lena whispered after a couple of minutes.
And Kara had laughed, kissed the top of her head, and told her that Alex wouldn’t kill her. She knew her sister wouldn’t be happy, but she wouldn’t kill Lena - what she didn’t say was that she wasn’t sure Alex wouldn’t try to do it, but Lena would be fine.
Kara drove the car back to their shared apartment even after Lena said she should be there to tell Alex she hit her car, but the blonde only kissed her goodbye and went to drop off the car to her sister alone. The silence that went on for minutes after Alex stepped outside her building and saw the state of her car spoke volumes, although Kara was glad that Kelly was there to make sure her sister wasn’t going to freak out too much.
“Please, don’t be mad at her,” Kara asked her softly. “She was nervous and I should’ve taken a closer look. Lena’s feeling pretty bad already.”
Alex kept quiet for another minute before she took a shaky breath in while putting her hands on her hips. “My car,” was all she said with a trembling voice.
Standing outside, Kara was still talking with her sister about two hours later - well, she was actually letting Alex scold her for being reckless, really - when a cab stopped across the street and Lena got out of it. The blonde glanced at her sister to be sure Alex wouldn’t flip a table at her girlfriend, but her sister had dutifully snapped her mouth shut to keep herself from saying anything.
“I got you a new car,” Lena said before anyone could say something. “Exactly like this one.”
Kara saw the way her sister’s jaw moved like she was grinding her teeth, but that seemed to be enough to Alex because the redhead sighed and nodded. “You could’ve just paid for the repair, you know?”
Lena waved a hand. “It would lose market value,” she declared once she stopped beside Kara. Her girlfriend put one arm across her sounders and Lena instinctively wrapped her arm around the blonde’s waist like it was second nature already. “I also bought you another something to make it up for you.”
“Really, Lena, maybe it’s a bit too much. I mean, yes, it looks bad, but you could’ve just paid for-Holy crap!” Alex's sudden outburst occurred when she saw a truck turning around the corner. Not any truck. “You bought me a Harley-Davidson?!”
“I hate you, Luthor!” They heard Kelly yelling from the window of their shared apartment, where she had gone to take care of Esme after making sure her wife would live another day.
Lena glanced up to see her friend leaning to look down. “I got you a new coffee machine!”
After a pause, Kelly yelled back: “I love you, Lena!” and disappeared inside the apartment.
Kara laughed while she thought her sister’s neighbors must have them, but her attention quickly shifted back to the truck parked in front of the building. She saw her sister running towards it like a kid on Christmas morning and smiled when Alex started talking with the driver as soon as he stepped out of the vehicle. She had no idea how Lena managed to do that so fast, but she was sure Alex would never complain about anything else for the rest of her life.
“Why don’t I get a motorcycle?” Kara asked with a chuckle.
Lena frowned and tilted her head to the side. “You know how to drive one?”
“Of course,” the blonde shrugged.
If she noticed the way Lena’s green eyes went darker, she didn’t say anything. “Good to know,” the brunette mumbled with a smile as she looked back at her sister-in-law.
“Maybe Alex can lend me hers,” Kara joked loudly enough for her sister to hear.
“Not a change in hell,” came Alex’s immediate reply, although the woman hadn’t been able to remove the smile from her face as she said it.
They didn’t get rid of Alex’s damaged car until Lena was done with her classes - just in case, since they didn’t want any more damaged cars. It took Lena some time, but she actually became a good driver once the initial fear was gone, although it took Alex months before she agreed to enter a car that Lena was driving. And she only did that because she had to teach Lena how to parallel park.
Kara didn’t know how.
J’onn was too busy with something.
Nia and Brainy didn’t know how to drive.
And Alex wasn’t about to let her wife - the love of her life - enter a car to risk her life.
Surprisingly, Lena managed to park perfectly on her first try. She was just great with the math behind it.
When Lena took her test, all of her friends and her girlfriend were waiting outside for her, and they all celebrated without caring if anyone was watching. They took their little celebration to Noonan’s later that night and Lena felt loved as she never had before. A week later, she took Kara on that silly date, but they spent most of the time making out inside the car rather than actually watching the movie, but that was okay because they weren’t using Alex’s car that time around.
Months later, they reacted the same way when Lena got her new degree, and Lena couldn’t help but think it was great to have people cheering for her like that.
And if she asked Kara for a little gift to celebrate her degree, well, that was no one’s business. She did wrap her arms securely around Kara when her girlfriend drove them off on the new motorcycle, though.
Thank you, @supercorp-superclown, for allowing me to do this and for also giving me ideas!

What I think sex with Kara Danvers/Supergirl would be like:
Please Kara give me one chance, just one little chance !
And also I deeply apologize for my bad English I’m french so I still have a lot to learn !
Tumblr media
╰┈➤• Dynamics: Kara Danvers x Fem! reader
╰┈➤• Summary: everything is in the title.
╰┈➤• Warnings: smut, dumbification, mean demeanor, rough sex, explicit content, sex talk, anal, period sex, oral f!receiving, public sex, BDSM, dirty talk, strap-on, dom!Kara, sub!reader, squirting, overstimulation, sex toys, tell me if I should add more warnings !
DO NOT READ IF YOUR UNDER 18
⋆——————✧◦♚◦✧——————⋆
Ugh, Kara, the things you do to me. It’s been a week since I started Supergirl all over again, and I can’t think of anything else beside her. Her eyes, the little wrinkle on her forehead when she’s focused on something or when she lies, her kissable pretty pink lips, her firm legs and slim body, her strong arms and hands… Gosh, I’m going to go crazy.
Talking about strength, you know what she loves to do? Show it off. ´Cause she knows you love it and it makes you feel small and safe. She would lift and move heavy things like they weight nothing in front of you, smiling when she would see you clenching your thighs in an attempt to relieve the need that intensified in your core throughout the day.
I believe Kara is sweet as cotton candy in terms of feelings and relationships, but when it comes to sex… She’s kind of a meanie. Not that she would hurt you in any way, but she loves to see you all whiny and desperate for her.
The thing that she like the most is hearing you beg. She could listen to your rambling and moans all day long if she didn’t have to save National City citizens. That’s why she edges you so often. Drying the tears that rolls on your cheeks, she would gently soothe you, caress your hips and whisper in your ear "You’re so good for me baby; taking everything I give you so well. You deserve a reward, don’t you, love? I’m gonna make you feel real good, I promise. Just relax and trust me princess.”
As I said, she's typically a mean dom, but she can also be really gentle with you, babying and adoring the love of her life. Making out slowly with you, letting her hands explore your perfect body before repeating the same process with her mouth only a few minutes after, and finger you good and slow to prep you.
Then, oh Lord, then… Her mean demeanor comes back, and she fucks your brains out, making you cock drunk with your favorite strap, laughing at how quickly you start to clench around the toy “Aw is my poor baby already cuming? Thought I trained you better than that, y/n. I guess you really are a slut.” Her words alone, well not really since she’s buried inside of you so deep that she hits your cervix with the head of her dick every time she thrusts into you, made you come so hard that strings of your juices gushed out of your little cunt. And after that she fucks 4 more orgasms out of you before lapping your pussy as if it was her last meal to clean you up.
Her favorite position is missionary ´cause she gets to see your face properly as you come hard around her cock, but helping you ride her as you chase your orgasm makes her so wet that it almost drips on the bed. She doesn’t worry about it, since she knows that she will make you eat her out to clean the mess she’s making.
She also loves to play with your clit. Circle it, lick it, suck it, bite it… She could go on with it for hours, overstimulating you, but you adore it.
Anyway, let’s get to business.
Period sex: She likes it very much because you’re really sensitive and it’s fun to mess with you since you’re easily overwhelmed due to your hormones. It also allows her to relieve you a little, making your cramps disappear in no time.
Eating your pussy: Well I think I kind of answered to this a little higher but Kara is obsessed with playing with your clit so eating your little pussy comes with it (even if she’ll focus on your bundle of nerves more).
Anal: As soon as you say that you’re into it, she starts doing researches behind your back. Her mouth hang open as she watches a woman being railed by her girlfriend, dick coming in and out of her hole at a fast and hard pace. She gets so lost into the porn that she only notice your presence when you call her name for the third time. She would close her laptop quickly before pushing her glasses back on the bridge of her nose while turning to face you. “Okay… That’s really suspicious. What were you doing, Kara? Watching porn without me?” She just shrugs while laughing nervously. “Pfff… What? Me? Never. Why would I watch this when I have the most perfect woman on earth on display for me?” Just know that that night she fucked your ass so hard that you had problems sitting more than 15 minutes straight for 3 days. Yep. She likes it rough.
Fucking you to sleep when you are overwhelmed by your emotions, when you feel sad or just when you need her close to you: She will often do it since you two don’t really get to see each other in the daylight because of both of your jobs, it’s a way for you two to reconnect and have a bit of intimacy.
Public sex: You don’t really get to experience outdoor sex with Kara anymore since the first time you did it she broke a countertop sink (and the counter with it….) in the restroom of a restaurant. After this accident you both agreed that it was better for everyone to only have sex in your apartment. It doesn’t stop her from fingering you at the bar you frequently go to when the both of you go out with her sister and friends. She always wait for them to go grab some drinks to corner you on the booth you’re sitting on with her and slips her hand in your panties, sucking gently at the skin of your neck and moaning quietly at how wet you are for her.
BDSM: Huh, do I have to answer to that after all I said? I take that as a no.
Sex toys: Meh. She doesn’t like it that much. She prefers to use her hands on you to feel you better.
Breeding: If she could, she would get you pregnant every 11 months, alas, biologic doesn’t work that way. But she would still fuck you as if she’s trying to mate with you anyway, whispering dirty things in your ear.
Quickies: Oh hell nah ! She hates it. Well, it’s not really hate, but she wants to take her time with you every time you have sex because you’re the love of her life and she can’t get enough of your pretty body.
୨⎯ "END" ⎯୧
Gosh I’m really a whore for writing those…

Overview:
Azul is a merperson from the Coral Sea attending Night Raven College. He is a second year and is the dorm leader of Octavinelle. There are rumors floating around him that he is able to fulfil any wish that a person may want in exchange for their most prided quality.
Appearance:
Azul has fair skin and is of average height. He has short, wavy hair that is layered and light-gray in color, with one strand spiraling down on his left side (not unlike a tentacle). The back of his hair is shaved into an undercut in the back. His eyes are a slightly darker shade than his hair. He has a mole under the left side of his lip. He is usually seen with thin, rectangular, silver half-rimmed glasses (he's nearsighted). He is most often seen wearing his dorm uniform. It is slightly different from the other Octavinelle students, the most notable feature being the long, lavender-gray coat (that has a purple underlining) over his shoulders (he is always struggling to make it stay in place, but he has just practiced enough so that the coat won't fall when he walks). He is known for this coat. He wears makeup (sharp and thin eyeliner under the eye, with a deep purple color) every time he wears his dorm uniform (this comes from his respect for the Sea Witch and how she paid attention on how she looked). He has a white button up undershirt, a black double breasted suit with a purple underlining (that he keeps unbuttoned, a lavender-gray scarf with fringed ends (with the Octavinelle logo on one end) (the scarf drapes over both of his shoulders and under the suit's lapels), and a purple bowtie. The uniform also comes with a black cummerbund and slacks, white gloves which are buttoned at the wrist, long purple socks with a pattern consisting of wavy lines and circles (which symbolize the ocean waves and air bubbles) and a black fedora with a lavender-gray hat band which is tied with a neat bow. He has a purple pin in the shape of a spiral seashell over the bow. He wears black dress shoes with block heels and silver buckles on the sides. In his ceremonial robes, he wears thick black eyeliner. He only wears eyeliner in his ceremonial robes and dorm uniform. He carries a black cane with him, which has a silver handle that represents an octopus. He walks with his chin up, chest out, and back straight; he makes sure to look dignified and smart, and to not look like a slob. He takes great care in dressing properly; he makes sure to wear classy and stylish clothes where he can, even if the situation doesn't really call for it. He loves styling himself after all, especially since merfolk don't usually wear clothes or dress up. He is most often seen with a faint smirk (which is practiced to the point where you can't tell if he's faking it or not). His smile is often pleasant but is also forced. He prefers to have a well-defined/accentuated figure, and tightens his belt often. He uses a transformation potion to maintain his human form. Transformation potions require government authorization and specialist supervision, and only medical mages can issue prescriptions for them. Licensed potion pharmacists are the only ones who can formulate them. Overall, it is a very highly regulated field which Azul takes great interest in (which is fitting, as it has to deal with him). To add to this, those who take these types of potions can undergo major physiological changes, which causes the treatment of their injuries to require more care - this is why it is illegal to practice medicine on them without a specialist license. He has to take it as prescribed. At first, it only lasted for three days max with one dose, but with recent advancements, one dose lasts for 7-10 days. He doesn't like the taste (because it's not very good in general) so he's happy that he can take fewer doses. In his mer form, he is bigger than Jade and Floyd; he has ashen gray skin, as well as eight tentacles arms where there should be legs. He seems more mature than the other second years. His voice is a practiced lilt, and he makes sure to sound as pleasant as possible. However, this sometimes makes others think that he is being "fake."
Personality:
At first, Azul seems friendly and willing to help others. However, this is all an act to lure people in to create a deal with him. He is well known around Night Raven College for these deals and his rumored abilities that allow him to grant any wish. He can convince almost anyone to sign a contract with him, as his deals seem to be completely in the other party's favor. However, he only makes deals with those that make him gain a benefit in the long run.
He is skilled in every aspect in the classroom. In addition, he can create study guides that accumulate test knowledge from the past 100 years, resulting in a study guide that can help people get really high grades with just one night of studying. He also has plenty of knowledge on study ideas for different types of people, so people who often struggle with their studying can always come to him for help. He also tutors Kalim from time to time and would be willing to help tutor others as well (for the right price).
He runs Mostro Lounge, which is a cafe/dining establishment at Night Raven College. Azul is often searching for ways to expand Mostro Lounge and/or ways to improve it (such as adding items to the menu). He loves thinking of ways to entice customers, and currently his point-card system is making him very pleased (with the system, you get one point for a 6-Madol drink special and 3 points for ordering something off the 15-Madol limited menu; once a person earns fifty points, they get a free consultation with Azul (the same as he did for his contracts - they can get more things by filling three point cards). He was able to open it after making a deal with Crowley in his first year to release all the students he had controlled then and give back all their powers.
He puts on a composed and polite facade, but his politeness does slip every once in a while if he is taken by surprise. However, he is quick to go back to being polite and composed.
He tends to play on other people's sympathies to get what he wants, especially when making deals... This helps him get what he desires easier.
He may seem extroverted, but he is truly introverted. Not many people know many deep things about him (and truly, the people who know the most are Floyd and Jade). Other than that, he always enjoys relaxing in the Mostro Lounge or VIP Room if there are no people around, and his own dorm room if there are. A long day of socializing and making deals with others can wear a person down, after all. Part of his introversion comes from his cautiousness in forming attachments with others, especially considering his backstory.
He definitely has moments of severe doubt and anxiety, as well as insecurity. However, he does his best to hide all of this, only showing it to the people he trusts most (read: basically only his family); he's a businessman, after all, and has to put up a good front. He still gets insecure over himself, but he's trying hard to ignore his insecurities and doubts. He has to be strong in order to survive in this society.
He enjoys thinking with his head, and even the games he plays mostly deal with strategy and thinking in general. Mindless games that rely on luck or nothing at all irritate him as they can be unpredictable. However, this in turn makes him want to make the game as predictable as possible (which, according to Idia, is very annoying during club meetings). He first joined the board game club due to Ortho introducing him to to a game that mimicked business strategies.
He analyzes everything carefully, and makes sure to think of all possible outcomes, which makes him enjoy games of strategy such as developing land, managing a business, or making a trade deal, or ones like chess. No doubt he almost always wins. These games also helped him have a greater nerve when taking risks, and helped grow his business skills.
Although he doesn't seem like he gets competitive, he can and will be if pushed there (mostly if Idia riles him up (especially if Azul loses in a game), but one simply needs to be condescending to him to make him competitive). This competitiveness can also make him stubborn, and focused on whatever he wants to do.
At Mostro Lounge, he generally spends him time in the VIP Room, only coming out if there is trouble. He gives orders to Jade and Floyd, but mostly trusts them (well, trusts Jade the most, anyway) to do their work. He does scold Floyd often, whether for being too rash or laying on the tables. He has forced Floyd to sit perfectly upright (in a seiza) for hours as punishment (and wouldn't hesitate to do it again)
He also spends some of his time trying to make his dishes and drinks look more presentable, whether by adjusting the ingredients or adjusting the plates that they are on. Sometimes he even adjusts lighting to fit in with the time of day.
He prides himself on having top grades in every subject, maintaining a rank in the top 10. He always puts an overwhelming amount of effort in whatever he does as he believes that there is no harm in putting forth effort, especially as it can leave a good impression on others. He loves Alchemy the best - especially since one can make gems or gold in that class. He loves that as long as you follow the procedure, nothing unexpected will happen. He enjoys learning high-level potions. (On that note, he is always wanting to get a higher score than Riddle, which he has not achieved yet). He is a really hard and diligent worker (though sometimes one might struggle to see that...)
He also takes pride on being a housewarden in his second year - he's in a position of power in a prestigious school, having control over a historic dorm. Now wouldn't that impress some people?
Due to him being an octo-mer, he's sensitive and wary by nature; this makes him unable to sleep in unknown locations. He's much more comfortable staying guard, even if that means losing sleep. However, he still wants to keep a good sleep schedule (it is failing haha-)
Powers:
Azul is a relatively slow spell caster, but he has precision and control. He's a pretty good person that can analyze situations and play support. He's calm and efficient, and prefers to assist those around him. He sometimes takes too much time in thinking, which could be a negative trait. He keeps a cool head when faced with curveballs, and makes sure not to overuse his magic (as his magic pool isn't large enough to sustain them, even though he utilizes a wide range of spells). He relies on his quick thinking, and is always cautious with his magic. He likes efficiency over speed. He has excellent control over his magic. He personally prefers using ice magic.
"I can grant any wish, no matter how far-fetched. Isn't that what the rumors say, and why you came here to me?"
Signature Spell:
Azul's signature spell, "It's a Deal," allows him to use a golden contract to grant a wish to the person who wants it in exchange for something they have, most often their prided quality or ability (either magical or physical). He mastered this spell at a very young age. The other person has to sign the contract for it to come into effect. If the person fails to fulfil the contract's conditions, they will be bound to work under Azul. Although he can take a person's power directly without using his contracts, he doesn't normally do this; doing so would cause rapid blot accumulation and cause him to overblot. In addition, doing this would cause the other person immense pain. The contract works as a limiter and basically helps Azul from overusing his magic. Also, absorbing power indiscriminately is designated as a forbidden class of magic; however, mers chosen by the mirror receive special allowances to grant them a human form in which they can attend classes comfortably. To fulfil a person's wishes, Azul can only do so much - he is limited by his knowledge, and can only fulfil terms that involve things he knows (as his signature spell doesn't automatically grant said wish). Therefore, he makes sure to grant wishes that take little to no effort on his part to do, such as making potions. Additionally, he makes sure to have the other person give something of high value to him. He is currently forbidden from taking anyone's powers again (even under contract) by Crowley.
Physical Power:
Physically, Azul doesn't have much power. He dislikes classes that involve Physical Education, and although he will try his best, he still is near the bottom. Flying classes are the worst for him as he cannot get used to nothing being under him except for the broom. In the water, there were more ways to maneuver himself... He is definitely thinking of creating a potion or something of the sort to help fly easier, but that's not high on his list of priorities right now. He is the one who struggles most with flight in his class (unsurprisingly, since it's only been little over a year since he started walking on land). His broom always flies off whenever he loses focus, so he needs to focus extra hard. In addition, he can barely fly straight - he's the only housewarden that can't fly. Despite all of this, he puts in an extremely high amount of effort and is able to get grades that are enough to pass the class. He claims that he does not dislike flight classes, and if you say he's not showing any effort, he'll get mad.
Background:
Being an octopus mer, Azul was a rare subspecies of mer. His limbs were in stark contrast to the pretty fins that all the other mers had, and add in him being chubby and a crybaby? There were loads of things that the little elementary schoolers had to bully him about.
Azul used to be very happy as a child before the words of the other people around him got to him. He was a sweet child, many teachers would describe him as "angelic."
However, around when he was seven years old, the little mers started seeing all the differences between them and Azul. "He's a slow swimmer." "He has ugly limbs, look at all the suckers he has! Haha!" "He's fat." "He spits out ink! Gross."
All these words weighed down on Azul and gave him many insecurities (that he still has to this day).
He gradually started to not go out and play (not that he had many friends to begin with), instead focusing all of his energy on studying and trying to be better than the other mers intellectually. He knew he couldn't catch up to the faster, stronger mers, but he thought that working hard on intelligence would be more beneficial to him. This worked as he was able to find his Signature Spell much earlier than anyone else his age. This spell was crafted specifically so he could get his revenge from his bullies.
He met Jade and Floyd while they were still in elementary school - they had always been in the same class as there weren't enough small mers their age to fill another class, but neither Floyd nor Jade had taken much interest in him. However, in the later years of elementary school, they had gotten to know each other a bit more and became friends.
It was also during the later years in elementary school where he developed his eating disorder. He started to force himself to eat healthier foods, even asking his mother for healthier recipes. He also counted his calories and weighed himself almost obsessively, always working for his "ideal" body type. It worked somewhat, as he did get thinner, but it caused his mental health and physical health to plunge, and that was a time when very few people saw his genuine smile.
Azul started using his signature spell in middle school, which was almost immediately found out by Jade and Floyd (much to Azul's disappointment). He wanted it to be a secret for a bit longer, after all. But it couldn't be helped; those two knew him best, after all.
He worked hard to erase all memories of his past, such as graduation photos with his "old self" in it. He also never forgot any of the remarks that the people at his elementary school told him, making sure to observe them before creating a contract with them. This allowed him to press on their weak points to get what he wanted (which was, most often, their prided quality). As there are not as many merfolk as there are humans, it was quite easy to keep track of everyone who had hurt him.
After coming to Night Raven College, he studied harder than ever. This was the first time he started making study guides for tests for others and creating contracts in exchange for them, and that went over successfully. He got a surprising number of guests considering it was his first time - they must have been pretty desperate.
Being at Night Raven College made him have an obsession with staying human. He's always working to see if he can figure out a way to change a transformation potion so that he can maintain his human form for longer periods of time, or one that can help him take less of the potion with still as large of an effect... (It's illegal but he doesn't really care as he's not actually making anything - though he wants to, of course). He's not sure what he should do, but he loves how he looks as a human. He thinks he looks slimmer this way, and this is making him feel more unhappy whenever he has to be in his octopus form.
Overall, he enjoys Night Raven College and can't wait to learn more things and make more money.
The overblot incident was an unfortunate thing to happen... But it had barely any effect on his record. So it doesn't bother him at all. It won't mess up his future plans. So he's totally not concerned about it (he is).
Family:
Azul has a very good relationship with all members of his family. Although his biological parents are divorced, the divorce didn't actually affect him very much; he still manages to spend time with everyone as much as he can.
He is very proud of how smart and resourceful his family is, and would most likely pick his family over his business (he might cry and be heartbroken while doing it, but still).
With his biological father, he doesn't get to see him much (they live in different parts of the Coral Sea) but he still enjoys talking to him every so often when they find the time in their schedules. However, his biological father also has a new family now (he started meeting someone while Azul was in his last year of middle school) so now he doesn't see his father that much as he doesn't want to mess with his father's relationship.
Azul loves his mother? She's one of his biggest inspirations. She manages a family restaurant, after all - it was one of the inspirations for the Mostro Lounge. However, the restaurant was more cute and for little kids than the refined Mostro Lounge. He has tons of respect for her, and she in turn loves seeing her son's achievements, and she invests in Mostro Lounge, giving Azul a bit of money if need be to cover costs. For the most part, though, Azu can handle himself, so that's not needed.
The restaurant was originally a small location owned and operated by her alone, but has now grown into the most famous restaurant in the Coral Sea. She is considering maybe branching off onto land to get more customers (and hopes Azul could help a bit if she ever does go with this plan).
Azul's mother loves him so much, she has a pile of baby pictures that Azul doesn't even know about (she never shows them) but she would show them to company if anyone ever came. (If Azul somehow finds out, he wouldn't even be able to edit them because Azul's mother would go on a rampage if she found out. And she will find out because while her son is out enjoying his dorm life, she takes out those baby pictures and cries seeing how cute he was when he was little and dependent on her.) She calls him her precious little pearl sometimes. Azul has tried to get her to stop calling him that (to no avail).
One of the major things that she gets mad about with Azul is the fact that he's obsessed with wanting to become human. She's a very practical woman, and she knows that whatever effort he tries will most likely be in vain. And, he has similar traits to one of the Great Sevens (and herself, as she is an octo-mer too)! Why should he want to change himself? She does get it, at least partly - but she still gets kind of annoyed when he brings it up. She just wants what's best for her son, after all.
Azul also used to help out at his mother's restaurant, whether it was helping prepare foods when he was little or giving ideas to his mother to help expand her business. It was here that he got a talent for analyzing ingredients in foods, mostly due to the fact that he would go with his mother to popular restaurants and cafes to test their foods and see if they could use those ideas to create new and better products. This is an instinct that has carried over to his management of Mostro Lounge, and he does check out any new food item in Sam's shop or the kitchen (if it is a food item that would appear in a cafe, of course). In general, he's pretty good at recognizing items by sight (like what basic type of drink something is, for example) but his abilities are even more showcased when he has a taste of the item, as he can list the various ingredients.
In addition, she would close down the restaurant on his birthday to have a special celebration. His family along with all of the staff were welcome to come (he didn't have many friends, and even Jade and Floyd never did get to go to the restaurant much, mostly because he still has pictures of his younger self there (which he's not certain if his mother will show or not) and he doesn't like that). The staff all love him like he's another child of theirs (he basically grew up surrounded by them) and many of them send him gifts. Obviously, the staff loves Azul's mother as well, and they have a fairly casual relationship with each other. At the parties, there was fancy decor and music, and his mother made sure to make a delicious meal for him with all of his favorite foods, making a bit more than was necessary. But it's for her sweet son, so who can judge? (Lately, Azul never finishes off everything, and it's been a worry of hers that he isn't getting enough to eat or that he's getting bullied again)
Azul's step-father is also another person that he respects a lot. Azul is not related by blood to him, but he thinks of him more as a father than his actual father. He and Azul's mother got acquainted during her divorce proceedings as he was the lawyer. Being a lawyer, Azul got taught all sorts of things from him about making contracts, the little pieces of information you should add to nudge toward a result that you want… All that. They spend lots of time together reading over contracts - Azul even suggests things that his step-father should add from time to time now that he's getting used to creating them. Azul's step-father is surprisingly nice and sincere, but he is quite the businessman and nothing slips by him. He wishes that Azul would follow in his footsteps and be a bit nicer to others (oh, but Azul is nice to others. Wouldn't you agree?)
Azul was an only-sibling, so he was kind of pampered while he was growing up. He loves his family a lot, but he still kind of wants a younger sibling. But he knows that that would cause him to lose the precious time he has with his parents about discussing business, so he also doesn't want siblings.
Azul's grandmother is a powerful mage (said to be one of the greatest mages in the world), and he can't even try to go against her. Azul always says "yes ma'am" to her just because she has really powerful magic and he respects her immensely. Of course, she would never use it on her darling grandson... But you could never be too careful. Although she did help out the less fortunate and the poor, often helping out her neighbors whenever they needed it, that didn't mean that she didn't have a temper. Better to be safe than sorry.
She was often the caretaker for Azul since Azul's mother was so busy, and she usually tended to spoil Azul, especially when he was younger. However, as he got older and she started to help him with his magic, he started to see more of her stricter side. Being with her was where he grew his love for Alchemy.
There are also rumors flying around that she's related to the great Sea Witch... But she denies everything. No one knows for sure whether she's telling the truth or not, though.
He doesn't open up about his family very often because he doesn't want them to be used in his contracts/otherwise taken advantage of. This is why he always speaks formally about his parents, and offers very little information about his backstory.
Likes:
Money, having power, fried chicken/kara-age (as well as other fried foods), looking at shipwrecks and old architecture, strategizing, going thrift shopping, affectionate gestures.
Dislikes:
Being indebted to someone, turning back into his octopus form, rude remarks, eating healthy foods, feeling helpless, useless, or dumb.
Extra:
He probably has memorized the Periodic Table (since he likes Alchemy? Idk)
He's probably a Choleric or a Melancholic
MBTI: ISTJ
He has undiagnosed anxiety, and has an eating disorder of some kind.
He used to hole up in an octopus pot whenever he was feeling sad so he didn't have to show anyone his tears.
He probably practices swimming better in his human form so he doesn't have to rely on his octopus form to get around in the water.
He and Sam are always fighting for customers. Sam is usually on the losing side when it comes to items similar to Mostro Lounge's, so he tends to try harder with the other items, such as regular supplies. Still, Azul is always looking for ways to expand, so Sam can never be too careful. Azul is always impressed by Sam's ability to stock up on expensive, rare, and nearly impossible to require items, though.
He has blackmail and secrets about most people in the school, especially those who had made deals with him. However, he wouldn't blab so openly about them... If you'd like to know, you need to have an adequate payment. (This blackmail can and will be used to force others into making deals with him.)
He can produce ink, but he mostly uses it to write contracts and spells (although he used to cry ink in the form of tears when he was younger - one could always tell when he had been crying due to the black streaks running down his face).
He also has venom, but it's not lethal enough in a bite to harm regular humans... However, with a high enough concentration, it could work. (He is not working on making something like this, where would you even get that kind of idea?)
He cannot camouflage himself, though he wished he had that ability when he was younger and trying to hide from the other merfolk. His octopus pot had to do, though.
He gets really annoyed when people use "octopi" instead of "octopuses" and it's an easy way for a person to get dragged into a lecture. Which is, you know, fun. (Also, he does not have tentacles. You are mistaken if you call his limbs that. They are called arms, limbs, or appendages.)
He enjoys reading to relax; mostly, he reads autobiographies from entrepreneurs - he borrows them from the school library and reads with the lights turned down low. He usually tends to read before he goes to bed. He also sometimes looks at his coin collection or decor to relax - it's needless to say that he finds his dorm room very comforting.
Coin collecting in particular has become fun for him, finding coins that are worth much more than their face value? It's so exciting. He has started visiting shipwrecks to try to find more of the coins - all in all, it is fascinating to him. He has around 200 coins in all, and he thinks of them as a sound investment if he ever gets bored of coin collecting. Although finding them is exciting, he also regularly sees if he can buy coins.
Similarly, he sometimes goes to thrift shops/second hand stores to see if there are any items of high value listed for a cheap price. He oftentimes resells items that he got (because he needs to make a profit) but sometimes he does buy items from those stores just for decoration or for him to have. It's rare, though.
Beds were another thing that was interesting to him when he first came onto land. They were really soft - a stark contrast to the hollows of shells and conches that he had slept in before. He doesn't really need a pillow (he uses whatever is recommended by the store), but he enjoys how soft they are.
If he could choose anyone for a brother, he'd pick Ortho. He's really sweet, cute, would care for his brother and he can do calculations, help with Mostro Lounge (as well as any other businesses he may create)... The list goes on.
If he could go to another dorm, he would choose Scarabia; the different culture and climate and such of the Scalding Sands interests him, as it is completely different than the Coral Sea (and the part he is from is particularly frigid, while Scarabia is known to be quite hot). Also, he would love to make connections to people from there so he can get high-quality products.
Every time they play a game in P.E., Azul tries to strategize. Especially if it's a sport (such as basketball, volleyball, football, etc), he knows he can direct others so his team can win without him getting in the way too much. He has a keen eye, he just isn't cut out for actually doing sports.
He rarely praises others honestly, so being praised by him is a great honor (or so he thinks - he would never say this out loud though).
Every time he goes on a trip, he has to research extensively beforehand. Every trip. But if he's been there multiple times, he doesn't research as much, just checks up on any new things that might have arrived.
He enjoys singing, and doesn't really care if he's in the spotlight or not. He doesn't do well when he gets a lot of praise about it though. He has obtained this power from one of his contracts.
He loves traveling by different modes of transportation! Public trains are not his favorite, but shinkansen (bullet trains) and airplanes are always enjoyed!
Time efficiency is key for him. So whether it be working on a plane, listening to an audiobook while walking, or immediately doing other tasks after finishing his work in class, he never has free time. Even if he seems like he has free time, that is all just carefully planned out according to his plan to entice customers.
When he has no specific plans, he does self-care for his mind and body. For his self-care of the mind, he tends to wake up early in the morning, grab a cup of whatever he's in the mood for at the moment, and read a business book or an economic newspaper, check the news, or see what is currently trending. He finds it intriguing and is an ingrained habit in him that he can't break. If someone told him to stay in bed and relax, he'd just get more and more anxious and feel like he needs to do something. For his self-care of the body, he does circuit training, alternating between weight training and aerobic exercises for his exercise. This is (hopefully) helping him improve his physical skills. He really hopes it is.
He used to dance a bit under the sea (in secret); he doesn't have the endurance to do it on land, though.
He didn't wear glasses while he lived under the sea, but after he came on land, he made a conscious decision to get them (both for seeing better and to make himself look smarter). He wants to get a different pair of glasses sometime for fashion's sake. (Every time he does any type of physical activity, his glasses slip and he is so close to just buying a pair of sports glasses to combat that. So close. (It's really comical)). He wouldn't usually choose round-framed glasses.
He's good at getting gifts; he will observe and think logically about what a person would like the most, and use his information network as well to help get a suitable item. Not that he gives gifts often, but still.
Halloween in the Coral Sea was a very... Interesting event. Unlike regular Halloween, there were no costumes. Every so often, merfolk disappeared due to ghosts or whatnot. To fend against this, there was music to prevent the ghosts from getting lonely and bioluminescent algae lanterns to stop mers from wandering into the spiritual realm. Unlike on land, Halloween with mers is less of a fun event and more of a thrilling one. However, there were some fun parts; Azul always enjoyed collecting shells and starfish for decoration, and still does; he loves finding rare types. He also made a craft for Halloween once when he was younger that his mother still has; she puts it out every year without fail. (Azul also loved the bottles of bioluminescent algae that were a staple for Halloween in the Coral Sea - he thought they were beautiful. Now, he's wondering if he can make something similar that's more vibrant and profitable... But as it is a seasonal item, he isn't fully certain if he should try to go for it.)
He used to enjoy mushrooms but now every time he eats them, he is reminded of the two weeks of nonstop mushroom cuisine (due to Jade).
He knows how to play the piano, and has played in a band with Jade and Floyd (with Floyd on the drums and Jade on the bass). The eventual reason why they stopped was both because Floyd kept speeding up the tempo or doing his own thing without warning, and Azul and Jade found it difficult when rehearsals were nothing like the real event (Azul got really annoyed with Floyd, but Jade just went with it - Azul half-jokingly thinks that this is due to "twin telepathy"), as well as Azul getting busy with writing his contracts. Despite all the trouble, both Jade and Azul were able to change their music to fit with Floyd's. They did have a lot of fun in the band. Azul does admit that Floyd is exceptional on the drums, as well as the other instruments that he can play. Azul sometimes records himself playing the piano to create original music for the Mostro Lounge to play (and to suit the ambience he wants to create). Overall, the experience with improvising from the band has helped him play better pieces. He has also studied Music Theory extensively, also seeing if people on land listen to different types of music. He used to use the music as a form of escapism when he was younger, playing melodies and writing lyrics.
Azul hates wasting food (coming from his business sense, perhaps?) and he tries to waste as little as possible, having compost bins (Jade may have pressured him into having them, but hey, it helps). He has also made a little garden of sorts to grow some ingredients that they use frequently.
He often gets put on planning committees at NRC; he enjoys this and always is trying to make the highest profit possible for Mostro Lounge and himself.
He follows by the saying "haste makes waste."
He's always cautious and wary of traps.
He has stock investments, which he checks on regularly; he enjoys reading the morning and evening papers that focus on world and economic news.
On his days off, he often leaves campus under the pretense of market research.
He hates getting protected because that would mean that he's seen as weak.
When taking tests, he always looks through the whole thing and starts with the problems that are worth the most points.
He has played some video games before (due to Floyd's insisting that he should do so) but he never took much interest in them unless they were dealing with business (which the type of games that Floyd chose weren't like that, so...)
He is currently abstaining from fried foods, but every time anyone offers him anything fried... He's half-drooling (not that he will show that) and hates himself every time he doesn't accept the offer.
He sighs a lot ("oh, the woes/struggles of a benevolent person")
He would rather not have candles on his cake as it ruins the presentation when you go to eat it (although he admits the candlelit flames can be pretty).
He doesn't understand pie-throwing for a birthday ritual; he wants to learn more about terrestrial customs, but he finds that many of them simply puzzle him.
He finds that many students become very reasonable once he puts on his dorm uniform... He finds this pretty amusing.
He always puts his right shoe on before his left shoe on the mornings he needs to be his best - it's mostly superstition, but one can never be too careful.
All of the furniture in Mostro Lounge is suited to Azul's tastes; saying they look bad would be akin to calling his taste in furniture bad.
Another interesting thing on land is cologne; he has a liking to it and enjoys researching different types to find even better ones.
He has studied how people on land dress (for quite some time), and the thing is - he usually loves formal and professional clothes. So you rarely find him in anything like a plain-colored t-shirt.
He still counts his calories, although not as obsessively as his middle school days. It bothers him that there are no calorie labels in the school cafeteria.
He hates the feeling of sweat on his skin - it makes him want to dive into the ocean to cool off.
He eats a proper diet, and makes sure that he gets all the nutrients he needs.
He was against camping in tents at first, but now he finds tents oddly soothing; they're similar to being in an octopus pot with how dark and snug inside they are.
He dressed up as a mummy for Halloween at Night Raven College mostly because he was unfamiliar with them (as it is impossible to be mummified underwater). He has accidentally tripped over the bandages.
He has sold off excess candy that he got at Halloween. It was a win-win situation.
He references dishes from his mother's restaurant for the limited-time menu for Mostro Lounge during holidays and other events.
He keeps his favorite coin in his pocket for good luck. It's not the one with the most value - it's the one he finds prettiest to look at. He takes great care not to misplace it.
He enjoys clothes with hoods, as he likes dark and confined spaces. He has also hidden in boxes as a child.
He enjoys intellectual work more than ceremony prepwork.
He enjoys the ceremony robes as more people take an interest in him when he is wearing them outside of school grounds.
He delivers lectures on efficient studying methods, and the sign-up sheet always gets filled.
He got prescription goggles for Alchemy (so he could see better and have eye protection).
He rarely uses writing instruments that make it hard to write a signature - after all, one never knows when one needs to make a contract.
He is absolutely amazing at making homemade medicine. Though it comes at a steep price.
He hates classes that are vague (such as Language Arts and art classes in general). He enjoys getting results that are clearly defined (such as classes in the science and math field). However, he still excels either way.
He thinks Alchemy is wonderful here because he can get so many different ingredients. (And add to that his access to private channels... He has so many experiments that he can try).
He usually uses parties as business opportunities.
He is often inspired by the Sea Witch and even has a snail shell badge on his hat after what she used to store her magic; he often wonders if he should store his own magic in the badge as well.
He often gets annoyed by Lucius (Trein's cat) because he won't be quiet. It's a waste of lecture time.
He hates stairs. He has tripped off of them multiple times when he started walking on land. And it always hurts painfully once he falls. At least his wind magic is good enough so he can right himself quickly, but still. It is such a pain.
He can use all of his limbs (eight arms + human arms) to write.
He's still trying to get Jamil to be friends with him. (Unfortunately, it isn't working.)
He has given a fancy cup to Idia for his birthday; on Azul's birthday, Idia has given him a board game that he's always wanted and played it with him.
He gave a shoeshine kit to Floyd for his birthday, and a large water tank (for use as a terrarium) to Jade; on Azul's birthday, Floyd and Jade pranked him (which happens every year). On a different occasion, they burst into his room and gave him a cake at midnight. Jade has also made a special brew of tea and given it to Azul (though he apparently looked very suspicious when he did that).
Ace has given a pillow (made of viscoelastic polyurethane foam) covered with a silk pillowcase to Azul on his birthday.
Azul gave some seasonings to Jamil for his birthday (that Jamil had wanted but never told anyone about)
Silver has offered to do anything for him on Azul's birthday because Azul lent him a textbook.
He's not good at dealing with the unexpected.
He dislikes Vargas because he does not perform well with tasks involving physical endurance, and Vargas is all about exercise/muscles.
10% of the profits from Mostro Lounge go to Crowley/the school.
Jade says that Azul can be "easily misunderstood" by those around him.
Azul has forbidden Jade from wearing a cute eel-motif T-shirt that Floyd got for him.
Drying up is fatal for mers.
He occasionally lends rare books to Sebek.
He gets along well with Ruggie as they both dislike losing money and insist on being compensated for anything they do, and dislike feeling indebted to anyone.
He enjoys having a room to himself; although he didn't mind sharing a room with the tweels as a first-year, he had to admit the pranks were tiring.
He is wary of gestures of goodwill and unconditional kindness, believing that people are kind to just get something they want from him.
He can talk with animals; this power was one he had obtained via contract.
He is quite strong in his octopus form, as octopi are pure muscle (according to Floyd).
Azul has multiple hobbies and serves on many school committees; he hopes that this will help him make more connections and find new avenues that could lead to new business.
All mers who want to live on land go on a "land boot camp" which is a month-long course where they are taught the basics of living on land such as the types of food, what fire is, the importance of clothes, how to breathe and how to walk. Most mers don't actually end up living on the surface even though many want to. (This boot camp was founded by a mermaid princess from the Coral Sea who married a land prince (from the Sunshine Lands) and wanted to prevent the culture shock that she had suffered - the Sunshine Lands and mers have maintained friendly relations ever since the marriage). It is an excellent volunteer-run organization that accepts mers from all ways of life, and if asked for, can provide transformation potions for free (but that is only for "promising youth"). Azul thought the offer was too good to be true, but he eventually realized that the founder did it out of the goodness of their heart. (There aren't many mers who want to go on land anyway, so they can cover the high cost without going bankrupt - still, they want more mers to use their services to spread kindness (as kindness leads to more kindness)). He put in an application there as soon as he got accepted into Night Raven College.
He memorizes both the revenue and gross profit from Mostro Lounge for each day.
He sometimes gets put into despair when he has only a few customers.
He and Jade share a healthy rivalry.
Jade helps inform Azul of what is going on in the school so he can keep track of everybody.
Floyd has hydrodipped one of Azul's hats before, and Azul was definitely not pleased about it; he magically returned it to its original state without even putting it on.
Rook has said that Azul has the makings of a fine hunter.
He would take any opportunity to get ahead of others.
He is not embarrassed to admit that he does not excel at exercising. However, this is a sensitive subject for him, as he often snaps at naturally athletic people and says things like "what would you know of my suffering."
He is good at bluffing.
He would never willingly do something to devalue the information he has, preferring to not do more than what is necessary.
He enjoys gathering intel.
He can be bribed fairly easily.
He wants to extend his business into Briar Valley, but he finds himself struggling to make connections with anyone in Diasomnia.
He loves making connections with others for future business, and he often tries to do this by doing favors for others.
Azul rarely lets people touch his contracts, if ever - he only entrusts them to Jade from time to time and panics if it seems like they will get damaged.
He runs the website for Mostro Lounge.
He sees the struggles he went through when adapting to life on land as a strength.
Azul often encourages Idia to take pride in himself as a dorm leader - he has a friendly & competitive relationship with him.
He became a housewarden around 6-7 months after the school year had started.
He will not give up on his dreams. Period. Some of his dreams include being valedictorian, opening a second Mostro Lounge branch, starting a delivery business, selling tableware, running a hotel, and getting into the leisure industry.
He's good at math, specifically Algebra. More specifically, Systems of Equations. He has to be good at them to calculate sales and whatnot, after all.
He dominates class discussions. It's not his fault, he has a lot of ideas and enjoys analyzing things.
He does tend to make fun of his underclassmen, especially if they tease him first.
He’s not super good at romantic stuff? He isn’t really used to it, after all, and social interaction was something that he sorely lacked during his childhood (including having crushes, obviously, because he was bullied and then focused on his studies). After getting a romantic partner (or before he confessed, or when he got a crush, etc), he watched a lot of romantic movies and read romantic novels to see how people would act with their romantic partner. He’s seen how his mother & step-father acts with each other, but he wanted to know more (for “research purposes”).
During the relationship, he’s a very very sweet partner, and he tries his best to take care of his partner and treat them well. He’s not big on PDA; he’s more affectionate when he’s alone with the person he loves. (His main love languages are acts of service and quality time, he’ll give gifts but he wants them to appear more thoughtful (so on special occasions, unless it’s like free drinks from the Mostro Lounge), and he does give some words of affirmation. Physical touch isn’t something he does often (his partner will most likely be more physically affectionate with him than he is)).

what are your top 5 movie recommendations?
EYY ok im a terrible person to ask because i absolutely do not watch movies unless forced to at gunpoint and most of them are not queer SO here's just like... my 5 fav movies i guess lmao
THE JACKET (2005) dir. John Maybury 🌸
Tumblr media
(hey my first non-bl related gif!)
The narrative is a time slip fantasy in which a Gulf War veteran who suffered a death or near-death experience while on active service returns to the United States where he is blamed for the death of a policeman, and incarcerated in a hospital for the criminally insane. Subject to experimental treatments there, which involve him being shut inside a morgue casket while tied in a straitjacket, he eventually learns to travel through time and is able to offer help to various people.
i watched this in high school one lazy afternoon with my mom and became obsessed. i don't think it did well? or was really on anyone's radar? but Keira Knightley is fucking gorgeous in it as is Adrien Brody - both of which i had massive crushes on back then. it's definitely HEAVY and darker, obviously, and has a bit of an open ending but i eat that shit up.
"The important thing in life is to believe that while you're alive it's never too late."
PROMARE (2019) dir. Hiroyuki Imaishi 🌸
Tumblr media
Thirty years has passed since the appearance of the Burnish, a race of flame-wielding mutant beings, who destroyed half of the world with fire. When a new group of aggressive mutants calling themselves Mad Burnish appears, the epic battle between Galo Thymos, a new member of the anti-Burnish rescue team Burning Rescue, and Lio Fotia, the leader of Mad Burnish begins.
i've watched promare an embarrassing amount of times, but hey, it's actually a little queer so there's that! the synopsis is just a drop in the hat of what the movie actually is. we love anarchist rebels and advocates for equal rights (and enemies to lovers between a smol angry rebel and a big lovable himbo.) small note - we lost Galo's english VA, Billy Kametz, last year to his battle with cancer. he played a huge role in a lot of my favorite shows and games and it really broke my heart.
DRAGONHEART (1996) dir. Rob Cohen 🌸
Tumblr media
Sir Bowen, an English knight of "the Old Code", mentors Saxon prince Einon in his ideals to make him a better king than his father Freyne. While suppressing a peasant rebellion, rebels ambush and kill Freyne. Then a young peasant girl named Kara accidentally wounds Einon's heart. Einon's Celtic mother Aislinn has Einon taken before a dragon and asks him to save the boy's life. The dragon makes Einon promise to be a just ruler with honor and replaces Einon's wounded heart with half his own. However, Einon proves more oppressive by enslaving the former rebels that killed his father and forcing them to rebuild a Roman castle. Einon also has Kara's father, who led the insurgents, blinded. Believing the dragon's heart has corrupted Einon, Bowen swears vengeance on him and all dragons by hunting them down.
listen, i'm old okay? i watched this obsessively when i was a kid. i didn't own the VHS, i'm not really sure why? but anytime it was on tv i was glued to it. i think i eventually did record it onto a vhs.
MILK (2008) dir. Gus Van Sant 🌸
Tumblr media
In 1972, Harvey Milk and his then-lover Scott Smith leave New York for San Francisco, with Milk determined to accomplish something meaningful in his life. Settling in the Castro District, he opens a camera shop and helps transform the area into a mecca for gays and lesbians. In 1977 he becomes the nation's first openly gay man elected to a notable public office when he wins a seat on the Board of Supervisors. The following year, Dan White kills Milk in cold blood.
i watched this just as i was coming to terms with my own queerness. i wanted to learn more about queer history and this movie came out at the exact perfect time for that. i was a freshman in high school, i'd never heard of Harvey Milk before, but my mom had and she encouraged me to watch it. it got me doing a lot more research into queer history and learning where we came from so while the movie may not be perfect, may not be wholly accurate, i thank it for that.
TITAN A.E. (2000) dir. Don Bluth & Gary Goldman 🌸
Tumblr media
"Titan A.E." takes place in the distant future, after Earth has been obliterated by a mysterious alien race known as the Drej. Cale is a human teenager who has been given a mysterious map by his father, leading him on an unforgettable journey.
i am nothing if not an absolute slut for Don Bluth movies. that man illustrated my childhood. as i got older my mom told me about Titan A.E. and said it was a must watch for my nerdy ass. she was correct. it's not the perfect movie but it's a great look at what Don Bluth and Gary Goldman could've done if we'd considered "animation for adults" back then. we're finally getting somewhere with it now, and i like to think we have them to thank in part for that.
also fun story my husband met one of the animators for this film at a party where a lot of people were doing a lot of drugs and he gave him his card AND MY HUSBAND LOST IT
alright anon and friends i hope i haven't ruined your opinion of me with my taste in movies ~ thank you to all the gifmakers that have made gifs of these films, i'm so glad i didn't have to make one for all of them lmao.

this is literally never going to be published but I like the concept so have my humble offerings.
Summary:
Kal hates Earth, misses his home and loves the farm. It’s a struggle to adjust when you had the light of Rao on your back for ten years and been a pariah for just as long. [Jor-El is murdered, Kal is pursed by Brainiac, and the world does its best.]
Kal doesn’t like English, it’s sticky and clumsy and lacks all the intricacies of Kryptonese. His Ieiu, Mother, had told him English was a baby language, it did not have the forty thousand years of history and development that Kryptonese underwent. It’s barely in its fifteenth century, and steals from other languages.
Ieiu Martha, Ma Martha, Kal corrects with a wince, had told him to be patient, to learn English first and then the rest of the languages and allow his tongue to relax into the clumsiness and thickness of English. Her accent was crisper than Ukr, Pa, she grew up in a city, called Indianapolis, sort of like Kryptonopolis where he had lived with Kara. Pa supposedly has lived here in Kansas since he was born, his own Pa moved them to Smallville after something called the Great Ukrression and there Pa Jonathan was born. 
It was a fascinating story and Kal wanted to read more, but the English swam oddly, nothing like the glyphs and markings of Krypton. Letters, what an archaic concept to Kal. 
Kara would’ve loved it, though, gone mad over the articles and writing and the breath of emotion captured in their odd positives made into negatives with a simple tone inflection. Kara had always insisted that she would join the Science Guild, but she’d be better suited to the Mediator’s Guild under Lord Fal-Ak’s division which studied the evolution of language and history or perhaps the Warrior’s Guild under Dys-Ur, not the Secret Police but the less warmongering, more culture interested section.
Ieiu hadn’t liked the idea of them working in the Warrior’s Guild with her Ukr, but Kal had sworn he would never join the Secret Police or the Upper Mediator’s Guild. He hadn’t wanted to tell her of his interest in the Labor Guild working as a farmer outside Kryptonopolis, in the fields of Argos where he could see Kara whenever he wanted instead of his Ukr’s lab in the ice plains. 
Kal huffs in frustration as the words swim again. How was he so bad at this? Ieiu had been getting translation implants since she was six! He wasn’t Meta Alura for him to be crying over a translation implant!
“Clark?” Ma asks gently. “Are you ready for a break?” Her expression is kind and open, like Kara’s. It’s the only reason Kal hadn’t run away to the arctic where Ukr said he could create his home.
And then there was that name, Clark. An English name, although Kal couldn’t see what was wrong with his name, perhaps because it was typically a nickname?
Kal swallows against the lump in his throat. “I think so, Ma.”
He tries to mimic Pa’s accent with the words. Ukr had explained to him once that mimicking human accents was the easiest thing in the world for his vocal cords built for a range of chirps to warn his clan of something called a Prehistoric Thon. Kal hadn’t asked what that was and Ukr hadn’t answered, 
Ma blinks, then a smile breaks out over her face. “I have a surprise for you. I was cleaning that pod of yours and I found something that might just interest you.”
Kal’s breath hitches, it had been so long, he hadn't worked up the courage to see the pod, to see the last piece of home he would ever feel beneath him. He had had no time to pack away his learning modules or plants when Brainiac sent its forces after him, nor would Ieiu allow him too. It would’ve made him all the easier to track. 
“Really?” he asks. His accent is still strong, good. Ieiu would be pleased that his skills of subterfuge are improving with every breath he takes on this foreign land. “Can we go now?”
Martha, Ma, smiles kindly. Everything she does is kind although it’s rough and sharp around the edges on occasion. A life full of struggle Pa had said. Kal agrees, but she had taken care of a strange child who spoke clumsy English and passed him off as a foster child, hiding his secret from the paranoid government. He owed it to her to be polite and meet that kindness much like he was helpful and eager with Pa. 
“Sure, it’s in the shed, I didn’t wanna move in case of it going boom.” she says, jokingly. 
Kal dashes upstairs, barely keeping from smacking into a wall and causing property damage. Her superspeeds into his work boots in case Ma wanted help after she was done showing him whatever his mother stored in his pod. The only thing he likes about Earth, the farm.

Wikipedia: Rhea Pitt 
Rhea Stella Pitt (born January 22nd, 2000) is an American actress and social media influencer. The daughter of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, she began acting at an early age with the role of Emma Geller in 'Friends'. Her first major film role came in the 2017 DCEU thriller 'Justice League'.
Pitt rose to international fame in late 2019, when she gained a large following on TikTok. Since graduating high school in 2018, she has been cast in big TV and Film projects such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Fantastic Beasts franchise, and Netflix Original Series The Witcher, based on the fantasy books by Andrzej Sapkowski.
Early Life:
Pitt was born January 22nd, 2000, in Los Angeles California to actors Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. Her ancestry is primarily Greek and English. Pitt has 6 half siblings, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, Maddox Jolie-Pitt, Knox Jolie-Pitt, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, and Pax Jolie-Pitt, all paternal half siblings, but maintains that they are still her siblings, regardless of parentage.
At age 4, Pitt began attending Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California. She remained at Crossroads until age 10 (2010), when she moved to Culver City, California, with her mother, and began attending The Willows Community School. Pitt remained enrolled until 2014, when she began attending Marymount High School in Los Angeles. When her mother was asked why she attended 3 different schools, Aniston said that "the schools were not willing to work with my daughter. They were not willing to give her the supports she needed, so we switched schools until I found those supports for her."
When Pitt was 5, she was diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Defecit Hyperactive Disorder), SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). At age 12, she entered testing for ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and received a formal diagnosis by age 15.
Also when she was 5, Pitt's parents, Aniston and Pitt, divorced. While custody forms are sealed with the divorce papers, a close contact to Pitt's father, Brad, stated that 'he had not seen Rhea since him and Jennifer split.' It has not been confirmed whether this is true, however.
In 2016, Pitt's father, Brad, mentioned in an interview that him and Pitt were on good terms, and that she has been visiting him regularly since 2012, and is very involved in her siblings lives, and loves them dearly.
In late 2016, Pitt's step mother, Angelina Jolie, filed for visitation rights with Rhea, as she felt Rhea was her daughter, regardless of blood relation. 2 months later, Jolie was granted visitation rights, and Pitt began to spend one weekend a month with Jolie.
In 2018, Pitt was accepted into UCLA and began studying Early Care and Education, in order to be an Early Childhood Educator. Rhea has said that while she has a huge passion for acting, she has an 'equally big, if not bigger, passion for children and teaching, and wanted something to fall back on should acting not work out.'
Career:
Rhea Pitt began her acting career at just 6 months old, playing Emma Geller in the hit sitcom 'Friends', the same show that sky-rocketed her mother to stardom. She played Emma until the show ended in 2004.
Pitt's second role was as Casey Mathis in her mothers movie, 'We're The Millers'. While another actor, Emma Roberts, was originally cast as Casey, Roberts dropped out due to unknown reasons, and Aniston suggested Rhea for the role after learning go the characters age change, from 20 to 14. The Los Angeles Times wrote "Pitt performs at such a caliber only expected from the child of such respected actors like Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie.'
After appearing in 'We're The Millers', Pitt took a break from acting as her mental health and grades were suffering.
In 2015, Rhea made a large comeback by appearing in Batman v Superman as Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Kal-El/Clark Kent. When Pitt was asked about her prep for this role, she said "I put myself through hell for that role, but I don't regret it one bit." Despite her role being quite big, she barely interacted with Henry Cavill, who plays Superman, and has stated that Henry forgot they were in the movie together, but are very good friends now.
In June of 2016, Rhea Pitt revived her role as Kara Zor-El in the 2017 DCEU movie, 'Justice League'. She filmed during her entire summer break, and finished in December, completing school with the help of a tutor, and her parents. Pitt received glowing reviews for her role as Kara, and was nominated - and later won - for Best Supporting Actress at the 2018 Emmy Awards at just 18 years old.
In 2018, Pitt played Donna Sheridan in 'Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again', the sequel to the hit musical 'Mamma Mia'. She was then cast as Andrea Prentiss, daughter of Emily Prentiss, in the final season of Criminal Minds that same year, which debuted in 2020.
In 2019, Rhea starred in season 2 of The Orville, written and produced by Seth MacFarlane, as Adela Grayson, the adoptive daughter of Kelly Grayson, played by Adrianne Palicki. When asked by Variety what she thought of almost constantly playing the daughter of the main character, she said "I love it. I love getting to be so many different people, in so many different worlds. I've been a daughter my whole life, and I love being a daughter, and I like to think that that bleeds into my acting."
April of 2019 also had Pitt announced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, playing Laina Barton, the first non-comic book main character to be introduced into the MCU. She went on to play Laina in the Mockingbird movie which also saw Adrianne Palicki reprise her role of Barbara 'Bobbi' Morse, and Nick Blood as Lancelot 'Lance' Hunter.
2020 was a pivotal year for Pitt. She was cast in multiple projects, such as The Fantastic Beasts franchise (Ariana Dumbledore), Enola Holmes (Irene Adler), Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness (Rikki Barnes), Knives Out 2 (Megan Wallace), The Witcher (character not announced), and Murdoch Mysteries (Ella Lyrica). Rhea expressed excitement over all of the roles, posting excitedly on her social media.
Personal Life:
College Admissions Scandal:
In March of 2019, the College Admissions Scandal came to light, and Pitt, as well as her parents were accused of participating.
It was later revealed that the family was accused because of Pitt's friendship with Olivia Jade. Pitt was temporarily suspended from UCLA, but was welcomed back a few weeks later when it was proven that her application and acceptance were genuine. Pitt has also stated that she is no longer friends with Olivia Jade.
Advocacy:
As previously mentioned, Pitt was diagnoses with ADHD, SPD, GAD, and ASD all by age 15. Pitt has spoken very little about this, and has stated that she feels her parents are better educated on the processes of diagnosis, but does not support Autism Speaks, and has been proven to donate a portion of her earnings to the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism, and Organization for Autism Research.
One of Rhea's childhood friends, Raeni Walmsley, has stated openly that "it didn't matter who you were, whether you were friends with her or not, and even whether she liked you or not. If she heard or saw you being criticized or discriminated for anything, she would go to war for you." Henry Cavill, her DCEU and Witcher co star has stated something similar, saying "Rhea is the one of the nicest humans I have ever come across. She is so welcoming, and warm, and supportive. The first things she asks her fans when she meets them is 'what are your pronouns?' so she can be as welcoming as possible, and I adore that about her."
Relationships:
While Pitt has not always been in the spotlight, she has had quite a few relationships with public figures.
She met Francesco Yates in 2016, when she was 16, and Yates was 17, almost 18. The two dated off and on until Yates turned 19. There is no information of the cause of the split, but an unconfirmed source close to the ex couple has said that the age gap and distance was putting a strain on the relationship.
Pitt was briefly rumoured to be dating YouTuber Daniel Howell (formerly danisnotonfire) but has remained that they were just 'good friends' and has shown tremendous support for Daniel and his partner Phil Lester (AmazingPhil) after they both came out publicly, and they are still friends.
When Pitt was 17, she was confirmed to be dating Henry Danger star Jace Norman, who was also 17 at the time. The two lasted for a little over a year, before deciding they would be better off friends, and are still very close to this day.
In 2019, she began dating Peyton Meyer (Girl Meets World), but the two split after just a year and four months, when Meyer allegedly cheated. The two haven't spoken since.
In 2020, Rhea was rumoured to be dating Pete Davidson, but maintains that it was just a fling. She's also said that due to rumours spread by an 'old friend', they split up, and are not currently on speaking terms, despite Pitt saying she misses his friendship, but wishes him all the best, and respecting his wishes.
In 2021, Pitt began dating Noah Centineo. The two seemed to be in a loving and fun relationship, but Pitt explained there was 'a lot of jealousy', but did not clarify from who. The pair split in August of 2021, while Pitt was filming Knives Out 2.
In January of 2022, Pitt was confirmed to be dating 'Captain America' star, Chris Evans. It was confirmed when he posted on Instagram, wishing Pitt a happy birthday, and saying "I am so proud how far you've come in your career, and you continue to amaze me with your talent every day. I thank my lucky stars each day that you are mine, and you chose me to love you."
The two split briefly in May of 2022, with the reason being 'a significant loss in the family', but rekindled less than a month later, and announced their relationship and how they've grown at the end of May, and are still together, posting about each other regularly.

Supercorptober 2022 Day 26: Acorn
When Lena arrives at the park entrance to meet Kara for coffee, Kara is nowhere in sight. She frowns, checks her phone, finds no new messages. She’s about to settle onto a bench when she catches sight of familiar blonde waves behind a nearby tree.
Curiosity carries Lena towards Kara, who’s crouching on the ground, gaze intent on something Lena can’t yet see. To her surprise, Lena’s able to get all the way to Kara’s side without Kara noticing. “And what do we have here?” she says quietly as she crouches down next to Kara.
Kara jolts with a squawk and teeters dangerously, stays upright only through floating and Lena’s grip on her jacket.
“Sorry,” Lena says through a giggle, “I didn’t mean to scare you.” Kara’s muttering about CEOs and secret sneaking skills but Lena’s already poking at the collection of acorns at Kara’s feet. “You competing with the squirrels?”
Kara laughs, a touch sheepish. She adjusts her glasses before picking one up. “I always thought they were cute. Like they’re wearing little hats, you know?” She pauses, her eyes growing distant for a moment. Lena watches it happen, wonders how far she’s going, waits patiently for her to return.
Kara shakes herself then laughs again, glancing down at the acorn then back up at Lena. “When I first learned what these were called I was so confused. I kept wondering what was the link between these and ‘corn’ - nearly gave up on English all together.”
Lena hums thoughtfully. “I never realized that, actually.” She eyes Kara with new understanding. “I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to learn English as a teen.”
Kara shrugs. She pockets the acorn and stands, lending Lena her arm as she follows. “It wasn’t that bad, I guess. I think mostly in English now. But sometimes I’ll get this block, where I can’t remember the word in English but I can remember it in Kryptonese and -” She laughs again; it’s the saddest of the three so far and Lena can’t help but step a little closer to Kara.
Kara shoves her hands in her pockets and rocks back and forth, heel to toe. “Can’t forget acorn though. There’s no equivalent in Kryptonese.” She glances at Lena, reaches out to brush her hair back. “Some things only exist here.”
Lena doesn’t know what to say, not when Kara looks at her like that. All language escapes her for a moment and Lena just leans into the touch. ‘Some things,’ she thinks, as she covers she takes Kara’s hand in hers, ‘And some people.’
“Come on, it’s my treat this time,” Kara says, her smile wide and free and here, “I think I saw a coffee truck around the corner that had pumpkin pie too!”
Lena smiles and lets Kara lead the way, lets her tuck their joined hands into her jacket pocket, the acorn rolling between their fingers.

alabama  ,  born  karawek  at  birth  ,  was  born  to  a  thai  politician  and  his  mistress  .  naturally  ,  the  last  thing  he  wanted  was  for  it  to  get  out  that  he’d  been  unfaithful  to  his  wife  and  so  when  his  mistress  turned  up  pregnant  he  sent  her  off  on  her  way  with  a  bundle  of  cash  (  expecting  she’d  end  the  pregnancy  )  and  the  issue  would  be  settled  .  she  did  no  such  thing  though  ,  wanting  to  capitalize  on  having  the  child  of  a  prominent  figure  .  her  plans  quickly  fell  by  the  wayside  though  when  she  realized  she  simply  was  not  cut  out  for  motherhood  ,  no  amount  of  money  could  make  her  even  slightly  decent  at  it  .  despite  that  she  wanted  the  best  for  her  daughter  ,  even  if  she  couldn’t  give  her  that  .  at  just  under  six  months  ,  she  put  her  daughter  up  for  closed  adoption  .  the  levington’s  ,  a  prominent  hollywood  couple  who  were  sure  they’d  never  be  able  to  have  children  of  their  own  at  the  time  ,  wanted  to  start  a  family  .  the  second  they  came  across  the  little  girl  ,  they  fell  absolutely  in  love  and  the  adoption  process  started  from  there  .  changing  her  name  to  the  name  at  the  top  of  mrs.  levington’s  dream  board  ,  they  made  a  point  to  include  a  part  of  her  given  name  at  birth  as  her  middle  name  though  ,  a  thanks  to  her  biological  parents  for  giving  them  their  baby  girl  in  a  way  .                       
the  eldest  of  what  would  become  known  as  the  levington  clan  ,  life  for  alabama  was  picture  perfect  .  a  close ( enough  )  bond  with  all  of  her  siblings  and  two  loving  parents  .  not  to  mention  the  money  and  fame  that  came  with  her  last  name  ,  there  wasn’t  much  for  the  young  girl  to  really  ask  for  but  that  didn’t  stop  her  from  doing  so  .  known  to  never  really  be  satisfied  ,  she’s  always  thought  there  was  something  bigger  and  better  around  the  corner  and  can’t  seem  to  stomach  the  idea  of  anyone  getting  such  a  thing  over  her  .  call  it  entitlement  ,  if  you’d  like  .  
growing  up  in  los  angeles  didn’t  do  her  any  favors  ,  submerged  in  a  world  were  who  you  are  and  what  you  look  like  was  all  that  really  mattered  .  her  mother  was  the  first  to  jump  on  any  chance  to  make  her  precious  little  girl  the  absolute  best  .  taught  at  a  young  age  to  always  step  out  of  the  house  like  you  were  walking  the  catwalk  .  you’d  catch  alabama  dead  before  you  ever  caught  her  out  and  about  in  sweatpants ( to  be  honest  ,  i  don’t  even  think  she  owns  a  pair  of  sweatpants  ) .  the  world  really  got  a  glimpse  into  how  image  obsessed  the  young  girl  was  when  she  got  a  nose  job  for  her  sixteenth  birthday  .  truthfully  it  was  like  some  sort  of  right  of  passage  among  her  highschool  friends  back  then  .  a  group  of  private  school  girls  who  were  more  cliquey  than  anyone  could  really  stomach  .  
for  as  long  as  anyone  could  remember  she  was  the  most  pristine  of  her  siblings  ,  the  one  who  always  put  her  best  foot  forward  .  that  all  changed  at  seventeen  though  after  a  more  public  break  up  took  place  ,  she  was  left  distraught  .  the  only  way  she  knew  to  numb  her  feelings  was  to  fall  into  the  party  scene  .  she  drank  more  than  her  body  could  handle  ,  sobered  up  with  lines  ,  and  didn’t  get  home  until  the  sun  was  coming  up  .  it  was  a  rather  dark  point  in  her  life  .  the  only  silver  lining  being  she  could  stop  when  she  wanted  to  (  no  ,  seriously  )  ,  she  just  didn’t  want  to  at  that  time  .  her  parents  only  taking  it  seriously  when  she  was  arrested  at  school  for  possession  of  drugs  (   truth  is  ,  the  drugs  weren’t  even  hers  she  was  just  taking  the  fall  for  a  friend  but  that’s  something  that’s  never  gone  public   )  .  once  they  bailed  her  out  ,  they  almost  immediately  shipped  her  off  to  some  rehab  facility  in  malibu  .  the  doctors  there  quickly  realizing  they  weren’t  dealing  with  an  addict  by  any  means  just  a  teenage  girl  who  was  upset  and  lashing  out  .  it’s  unfortunately  a  trait  no  one  has  been  able  to  help  her  unlearn  ,  to  this  day  she’s  known  to  be  rather  difficult  ,  especially  when  she  feels  she  has  been  done  wrong  .  she  will  lash  out  -  violently  ,  verbally  ,  you  never  really  know  if  venomous  words  or  a  shockingly  chin  rocking  hit  are  going  to  come  from  her  .  
after  her  stint  in  rehab  ,  she  switched  highschools ( due  to  being  expelled )  and  being  her  quickly  found  herself  a  new  group  of  friends  at  the  top  of  the  food  chain  ,  she’s  a  natural  social  climber  and  doesn’t  really  need  to  put  too  much  effort  into  doing  so  .  soon  enough  she  graduated  and  let’s  be  real  her  grades  were  good  enough  to  get  her  a  diploma  but  that’s  about  it  .  college  had  never  been  in  her  plans  and  thankfully  she  already  had  a  career  lined  up  for  herself  in  race  car  driving  which  she’d  picked  up  around  the  age  of  thirteen  when  she  started  kart  racing  .  it  started  off  as  her  chasing  an  adrenaline  rush  but  quickly  turned  into  so  much  more  ,  after  her  first  major  competition  as  a  teenager  people  around  her  began  making  claims  she  could  break  records  for  women  in  the  world  of  racing  .  she  has  gone  on  to  proving  them  all  right  with  her  career  breaking  barriers  and  winning  races  no  woman  before  her  ever  has  .  alabama  is  the  first  to  say  the  way  she  carries  herself  on  the  tracks  is  much  like  the  way  she  carries  herself  throughout  life  .  a  women  in  a  male  dominated  environment  who  refuses  to  take  on  the  spot  as  anything  less  than  just  as  dominating  as  her  male  counterparts  ,  unafraid  of  whether  that  makes  her  too  much  in  anyone’s  eyes  or  not  .  
sometime  in  2017  ,  she  was  reached  out  to  by  a  man  who  claimed  to  be  her  biological  father  .  a  shock  to  her  system  ,  not  because  she  didn’t  know  she  was  adopted  (  that  much  was  clear  to  her  ;  and  her  parents  had  been  rather  upfront  about  it  )  but  because  she  knew  it  was  a  closed  adoption  .  convinced  her  whole  life  they  wanted  nothing  to  do  with  her  and  by  that  point  in  her  life  she’d  come  to  terms  with  that  .  he  had  disclosed  that  he  only  had  so  much  longer  on  the  earth  (  he  was  very  sick  )  and  wanted  to  meet  the  daughter  that  he  never  got  to  know  .  initially  she  ignored  him  entirely  .  it  was  her  turn  to  shun  him  from  her  life  --  she  couldn’t  miss  someone  she  never  knew  and  she  refused  to  be  disloyal  to  her  parents  ,  the  two  people  in  the  world  who  chose  her  and  loved  her  .  after  a  few  months  though  her  dad  explained  to  her  that  he  thought  it’d  be  best  for  her  to  meet  her  biological  father  .  she  sat  on  the  idea  for  a  couple  weeks  before  deciding  to  reach  out  .  a  few  days  later  she  was  on  a  flight  to  thailand  .  what  was  only  supposed  to  be  a  weekend  trip  turned  out  to  be  a  month  and  a  half  long  .  she  connected  with  him  and  a  piece  of  her  wanted  to  be  there  for  him  in  his  last  days  .  soon  after  his  funeral  she  returned  back  to  the  states  .  going  back  to  life  as  she  knew  it  pretty  much  without  a  bat  of  her  eyes  .  given  a  sort  of  closure  she  never  realized  she  needed  in  her  time  in  thailand  (  even  though  her  biological  mother  has  never  reached  out  ,  although  before  he  passed  he  did  give  alabama  the  woman’s  name  )  .             
the  tabloids  often  have  alot  to  say  about  her  and  her  antics  but  one  that  can  never  be  said  about  this  nepotism  baby  is  that  she  doesn’t  hold  loyalty  and  honesty  in  the  highest  regard  .  a  true  rarity  in  the  world  she  lives  in  but  alabama  will  fall  on  a  sword  for  those  closest  to  her  (  i.e  her  arrest  back  in  highschool ) ,  she  may  have  a  cool  hard  shell  covering  her  at  all  times  but  she  cares  immensely  about  her  family  and  those  she  deems  her  friends  .  she’s  the  girl  who  is  still  close  with  most  of  her  childhood  friends  just  simply  because  you  never  turn  your  back  on  someone ( unless  they  give  you  reason  to  ) .  
known  for  having  a  terrible  track  record  when  it  comes  to  the  men  in  her  life  ,  leaving  her  to  be  deemed  a  scorn  women  by  many  tabloids  at  just  the  age  of  twenty  -  six  .  her  bad  luck  started  at  seventeen  and  has  recently  been  topped  off  with  her  rather  distasteful  split  with  ford  ,  in  which  the  whole  world  watched  him cheat  on  her  .  to  say  she  is  the  leading  champion  of  the  men  suck  club  would  be  an  understatement  .  she  doesn’t  trust  men  to  save  a  life  and  frankly  she  feels  she’s  entitled  to  those  feelings  .

Book 1 - START!
Tumblr media
Here we gooOOOOO
Welcome to my liveblog of ガフールの勇者たち ! (gahuuru no yuushatachi -> Heroes of Ga'Hoole)
Remember a while back, when I bought the Japanese translation of the entire Guardians of Ga'Hoole series? I’m going to document my attempt to read through them with my elementary level grasp of the language. It’s going to be one part nostalgic re-read (not at all spoiler-free, sorry!) and one part language-learning crash course. I’ll try to organize my thoughts on the latter aspect in a way that non-speakers might still find interesting.
For instance, notice that Book 1, originally titled The Capture, has been renamed 悪の要塞からの脱出 (aku no yousai kara no dasshutsu -> Escape from the Evil Fortress). I know what you're thinking, and yes, from what I've seen, everything is going to look and sound way more badass compared to the original.
This is gonna be a long, slow, probably painful process, but by Glaux we're DOING this.
Tumblr media
Note in the example above (from the first page of chapter 1) how the green-highlighted phrase 落ち着かない (ochitsukanai -> restless), which looks pretty complicated to me, does not have any smaller furigana characters to its right showing how it's actually pronounced. Kids at the book's reading level presumably already know, but I had to write the characters into a translator app to find out.
On the other hand, the character I highlighted in purple is 卵 (tamago -> egg), literally one of the first kanji that Duolingo taught me in its earliest lessons. But here it DOES have furigana (the tiny たまご to the right), so I guess Japanese children don't officially learn that character in school until a slightly higher grade level! Man, language is wild.
Anyway, back to reading the actual content of the book.
The first page of the book, before even the table of contents, is labeled ガフールの伝説 (gahuuru no densetsu -> The Legend of Ga'Hoole) and summarizes what Ga'Hoole fans would recognize as the classic “Coming of Hoole” tale. In addition to making me extremely emotional, it also drops several juicy proper nouns we’ll be seeing again later, including 最果ての地 (saihate no chi -> The Farthest Land) for Beyond the Beyond, 火の石 (hi no ishi -> the Fire Stone) for the Ember of Hoole, and ガフールの神木 (gahuuru no shinboku -> Sacred Tree of Ga'Hoole) for the Great Tree.
Guys we're not even on chapter 1 yet and there is SO MUCH happening. It is going to take me forever and a day to get through this. I'd better get started......
第一章 (daiisshou -> Chapter One)
ティトの森の家 (tito no mori no ya -> The Home in Tyto Forest)
So that’s, uh, interesting. Turns out Tyto is pronounced “tee-toh” in Japanese. That’s never not going to be weird. BUT, we must soldier on!
...Okay so, I think at least to start, the best way for me to do this is to go page-by-page. I’ll give my miscellaneous thoughts as I go, but then at the end of each page I’ll give a summary of what actually happens, to test my reading comprehension. (...This is going to turn into a straight-up school homework assignment dhgdjshfj.) In time, maybe I'll pick up enough speed to go through a few pages at a time, or even a whole chapter? But we'll see. That's far in the future right now. 
Without further ado...
6ページ (the table of contents etc are all numbered pages, so chapter 1 technically starts on page 6) :
I’m excited every time I recognize a word, but I’m also hype to learn all the new animal/nature-related vocab in these books. I already knew “owl” was フクロウ (fukurou), but now I also know that Barn Owls in particular are called メンフクロウ (menfukurou), which thanks to my unquenchable etymology thirst I then found out comes from 仮面 (kamen -> mask). Fair enough, as many of the species in the Tytonidae family are called Masked Owls in English, too!
Also, fir trees are モミの木 (momi no ki)! I have nothing else to add about that, I just think it sounds nice. :) Momi. 
(Fun fact for fellow non/early-Japanese-speakers: it’s customary for the names of most plants and animals to be written in the simpler, phonetic katakana alphabet instead of kanji, especially in a scientific context. So something like the word “monkey” (saru) would almost always be written as サル even though there IS a kanji spelling of the same word: 猿  This certainly makes it easier on people like me struggling to learn enough kanji as it is!)
...BOY HOWDY, I’m trying to read aloud as I go because I need to get the pronunciation in my head as well as recognizing the characters, and the phrase 胸の綿羽  (むねのめんう -> mune no men’u -> chest feathers) is kind of a tongue twister!
Anyway, onto the summary.
六ページの要旨 (Page 6 Summary) Soren (ソレン Soren) is a young Barn Owl who lives in a fir tree in Tyto Forest, and he’s about to become a big brother. His parents, Marella (マレラ Marera) and Noctus (ノクタス Nokutasu) fret over the state of the nest until suddenly a crack appears on the egg! Soren’s older brother Kludd (クラッド Kuraddo) grumbles, “Again?” Noctus scolds him--doesn’t Kludd want another little brother? Marella interrupts that it could be a sister.
Let’s do one more page for today, since this project is so VERY overdue!
...
7ページ
First thing of note is that Soren uses ぼく (boku) as his personal pronoun! In Japanese, there aren’t really third-person pronouns as we think of them in English, so other people are either referred to by name/title or you’re simply meant to figure it out from context. First-person pronouns (like English’s “I” and “me”), on the other hand, are not only used but are numerous and varied. Which word a person uses to refer to themself can vary based on gender, formality, and even just personality/preference! This excellent article on Legends of Localization gives a more detailed explanation, for anyone curious! I personally find this quirk of the language super fascinating and will be going out of my way to take note of how all the characters refer to themselves. :3 I expect most of them will be the common watashi or boku, but I’ll be interested to see if I’m proven wrong!
... And, unsurprisingly, we immediately learn that Kludd uses おれ (ore) for his personal pronoun. It’s another common masculine option, but, unlike boku, it often comes with more of a tough/strong/harsh connotation, and is thus on the more informal/crude side.
...
Fascinating. It’s never been totally clear to me if “branching” is really a proper word even in English to describe this thing where fledging birds practice flight by hopping from branch to branch, but when I put 枝渡 (edawatari) into the translator, it literally gives back “branching”. In the exact same sense, as far as I can tell.
...Hm! “Flight feathers” is 風切羽 (kazakiribane), which is literally written as “wind-cutting feathers”. Badass.
...One of the things that I think is going to be hardest for me to wrap my head around with this language is the regular use of onomatopoeia as just, like, whatever part of speech they wanna be. Sometimes they’re used as adjectives, like on the previous page when Marella described her husband’s “fluffy” (ふわふわ fuwafuwa) feathers, and sometimes they’re verbs, like this page’s description of the egg “rattling” (かたかた katakata). And sometimes they’re just literal descriptions of a sound like how we typically use onomatopoeia in English. This page describes a sudden “click” (カチッ kachi-) sound, for instance.
七ページの要旨  (Page 7 Summary) Soren pipes up that he’d like a little sister. Kludd jeers that Soren’s too young to even know what the word means, then complains that whether it’s a brother or sister, he’s missing out on branching practice. Noctus scolds him again, saying there’ll be plenty of time for practice later, and that it’ll be another month before Kludd’s flight feathers are grown in anyway. A noise from the egg grabs the whole family’s attention, because Barn Owls have very sensitive ears, and Marella joyfully cries out that the time has finally come. The egg rattles and shakes...
And that’ll be it for this post. My HOPE is that this process will get faster and shorter with each page. At the very least, this first few pages should be among the most densely packed with brand-new characters and noteworthy vocab to discuss. 
Not sure how often I’m going to be updating this liveblog, but for now let’s shoot for a bare minimum of one page a week? Cool? Cool.

Shuu’s Thoughts on Sendai Division
Tumblr media
Ryūzō Mizutori
“English isn’t my strongest strength, but I’ve tried my best learning it! It’s very rare, but sometimes clients have a language barrier and English is definitely a more common language for people to use. I should learn it better, not that I wanna go back to school though. What’s the chance I can hire this guy to teach me? He’s got a mysterious air to him. I think it would be fun to poke at him a bit!”
Takumi Wakaba
“Takumi Wakaba, age 34, stands at 191 centimeters and weighs 80 kilograms. A shameless flirt with basically any woman that he runs into. Strangely enough, that behavior sort of changes around another woman, but it isn’t in my job to be a relationship counselor for people. Still even if he looks like big old idiot, he was able to catch me, not that it really mattered. One little distraction and I was able to slip away in an instant! Besides, it wasn’t like I needed to confront him about the affair he was involved in anyways. His date was my primary interest. I just wanted to make sure the oaf wasn’t leading any other women on…”
Kotono Ohara
“Nooooo the girl that the oaf likes?! Aw, she looks so nice! And she definitely has more smarts than the small handful of brain cells that he even has… I mean I say that because I caught her staring me when I kept trailing the guy. She didn’t seem to bother tattling on me at least and I didn’t want to pry into the big oaf anymore anyways. I thought I’d be done with the pair but now I find out they’re in a team together? Ko-chan get away! You can do better!”
Kiya Kara
“I’m torn about this team! I mean Ryū-chan and Ko-chan seem like nice people but I can’t stand the oaf! Unless if he can get the guts to ask out Ko-chan and stick to that relationship, I can’t bring myself to like that… That doofus! Let’s kick their butts already Ryuko!!!”

Woooo!!!!! Doing silly little OC ramble!!! After years of not doing one 😭❤️ click here to see Kara and the silliest ever!!! Sabine!!! 🐎🐎🐎
Kara often got homesick and when she did Sabine knew it. She knew bcs Kara started making a bunch of food from her home country and for Sabine it’s a win and a loss. Win because tamales, tacos, pozole and arroz con leche are fucking great 🤤🤤🤤 loss because Kara gets extremely sad when she gets homesick 😔👎 Sabine tried to comfort Kara but sadly nothing worked because Kara just wanted to go home 😢💔 in an attempt to help ease the pain Sabine ends up learning a bit of Spanish hoping that maybe talking to Kara in her native language might be some help. While learning Sabine has two things on her mind.👆👆‼️ She wishes she could go back in time to when she was undercover in Jorvik highschool and tell herself to pay attention in Spanish class and she also thinks about how soft she is for Kara 😒❤️👎 she went from wanting to destroy Kara and everything she loved to learning a whole new language for the soul rider to help with her homesickness 😟‼️it was a bit crazy how things changed up for Sabine but it was a nice change she liked Kara and she loved the food the soul rider made. Spanish did end up being a bit hard so Sabine gave up on learning through books and videos and went straight to the source . The gf 🥶❤️ Sabine told Kara that she wanted to learn Spanish without giving her reason for it and Kara didn’t question it she just helped Sabine.❤️ Kara helped her learn and now Sabine knows a little Spanish and she’s still working on it. Kara still doesn’t know why Sabine wanted to learn Spanish because she still hasn’t told her but it doesn’t really matter to her she’s just happy her gf took interest in the language and Kara is having fun talking to Sabine in a mix of Spanish and English and the dark rider’s plan did work talking in Spanish did help ease Kara’s pain of being homesick ❤️🐴.
Had to write a cute little ramble before I write evil!!! 😈😈😈😈😈😈 more dark rider Kara au will be out soon but for now I leave u with this cute little ramble to prepare u for my evils!!! Mwahahahahaha ‼️‼️‼️😈😈😈
