non-exhaustive list of canon powers Nico di Angelo either has shown or is heavily implied to have:
Shadow-travel
Manipulation of shadows/darkness (also possibly use of shadows as a pocket-dimension a la Magicians using the Duat in The Kane Chronicles)
Becoming intangible/shadows
Complete control over skeletons/bones (dead or alive, including summoning, reanimation, and/or changing shape of them) and being able to sense their presence
Summoning, reanimating, commanding, and dispelling the dead/undead (Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc & varieties) and being able to sense their presence
Ability to understand/communicate with the dead/undead and potentially other beings of the Underworld
Inherent complete comprehension of Latin
Ability to perceive the usually unperceivable/possibly look upon a deity’s true form without repercussion (at least moreso than the average demigod, though possibly is restricted to chthonic beings) (ex: Tartarus, potentially also interacting with his parents, etc)
Interacting tangibly with ghosts (implied to be a Ghost King thing rather than a Hades/Pluto thing)
Partial or complete immunity to different effects of the Underworld/things within (can consume food/drink of or in the Underworld without repercussions, effects from the Lethe wear off over time instead of being permanent like usual for mortals, etc)
Astral projection/”Walking in dreams”
Dream manipulation and projection (Sending dreams to others, etc.) (presumably includes sharing/projecting dreams with others) alongside inflicting sleep upon others even from a distance.
Illusions
Manipulation of emotions/aura that inflicts specific emotions on others (ex.: radiating fear/death onto enemies)
Projection of emotions and memories onto others (can be so forceful it causes physical damage like a shockwave)
Geokinesis (all forms but also specifically generating black marble) (presumably also specialized control over precious gemstones & non-paper currency)
Temperature manipulation (seemingly only lowering temperature)/creating frost)
Control/manipulation of souls, including living beings (ex: ripping out Bryce Lawrence’s soul)
Perceiving/reading/judging of souls (most likely also a Ghost King thing over Hades/Pluto thing, but possibly both)
Converting living into dead/undead, aka instakill (ex: disintegrating monsters to bone with one touch)
Lowering or manipulation of own vitals (breathing, heart rate, etc)
Death Trance/pseudo-hibernation (possibly also general control over states of consciousness at least for self, in combo with control over vitals & dreams)
Sensing death (impending or when it occurs, sometimes receiving dreams/visions of it occurring)
Able to sense other children of Hades/Pluto (potentially also other chthonic beings in general/able to identify based on sense alone) and also just living beings in general, such as mortals (possibly via souls).
Improved navigation underground/in the Underworld and ability to traverse restricted or normally unnavigable parts of the Underworld
Enhanced strength/abilities when in the Underworld
Inherently unnaturally quiet (possibly able to silence sound on a designated target)
Hiding/shielding self from being perceived (seemingly related to shadows/silence)

When they start dating Sanji finds comfort in the assumption that Usopp has never dated anybody else either. Kissed anybody else. Lost his virginity yet. Because Sanji hasn't, and he just assumes Usopp can't possibly know more about relationships than him.
But Usopp grew up with Kaya until he was 17. And he has done all of those things. So now Sanji is even more nervous about all of this, but Usopp doesn't seem to be more relaxed, either? And it's so confusing. So while Sanji panics about all the firsts they have yet to have together, Usopp does the same.
So Sanji is kind of like "Why are YOU nervous?! You're the one who has done all this shit already I- I don't even know where to start!"
"But it's the first time I do them with YOU. "
We often forget they're canonically anxious teenagers who really really really don't know anything about love and they have to experience these things together. And I find that beautiful.

Orion has the vibes of that one kid EVERY teacher likes. Nothing but good words about him. When the teacher leaves the classroom they ask him to tell if any students acted up once they get back (idk if he would i dont know if orions a snitch). Hes the kid that teachers sit rowdy students next to hoping his good behaviour rubs of on them ( i also dont know if this would work, the opposite might just happen actually)
Orions a 10/10 kid, would love to study with him, ( this ask was way to long ough)
no you're so right, he's not even a teacher's pet he's just a Good Kid. his grades are good but not stellar, he definitely has some problems turning in homework on time (considering his vigilante side gig...), and there are a select few he doesn't get along with perfectly, but most teachers definitely favor him coz he's got such a good and kind attitude! Shockwave likes the kid, Dion seeks him out to support him, i mean even Alpha Trion gave him an ancient magical relic after One (1) Time meeting him!
he's basically the capybara of the JAAT. solid lil dude

no no no NO no BECAUSE -
what I need right now is aloy to make the longass trip back to meridian and find talanah in the middle of the busiest marketplace you’ve ever seen but their eyes just meet across this huge square despite all the people that are around them and despite however long it’s been and despite whatever! aloy’s got this smile on her face and talanah sees it and just knows.
how could aloy ever forget about her?
please, I need this. I’m a fragile being.

Speaking as somebody who didn’t care for Engage’s story I find so much of the negative discourse surrounding it to be absolutely insufferable honestly… like it truly was NOT that bad, and people don’t have low standards and aren’t being fake or contrarian or whatever just cuz they happened to like it.
And honestly, I could see how somebody with different priorities for a story than me could’ve easily enjoyed the game’s story. I thought it had some fun ideas and good moments, even if I didn’t think it coalesced. It’s definitely not significantly different than most of the stories in the series, which I think I can say with relative confidence cuz I’ve played them all fairly recently.
