#mental energy of elder age

[olderthannetfic]

You've encountered site changes over time as a fan elder, what do you make of Tumblr potentially being put out to pasture? Tumblr was my coming of age fan site, and im looking for advice to transition to the next thing with grace and less bitterness than I feel now.

--

Ahaha. God, you should have heard the howling about LJ. "Fandom is over!" "Never again shall we dwell in fandom's True Home!" etc.

Hell, this endless "only LJ was good" crap turns up in replies here on posts where I as OP have very clearly laid out why that's rose colored glasses nonsense and you can so make friends on tumblr, have a conversation on tumblr, etc.

I had my crabby phase about this during the transition from Yahoo Groups to LJ. A lot of the real olds had it over paper zines and the transition to the internet.

I don't know if reading these hilariously samey old posts would help. It does give perspective, I think.

--

As for what you should do, do what I did with Tumblr:

1.

Look around to identify the Next Thing fandom is going to camp out on.

It may take a few guesses and some time to figure this out. You will likely not be an early adopter. Fandom was well established here by the time I joined at the end of 2010. Of course, by now, all those 2009 and before accounts are long gone, but at the time, I was a n00b joining other people's space despite having been in fandom for ages.

2.

Don't expect to enjoy it

I didn't join tumblr because I liked it. In fact, I despised it. I kept right on despising it until a brief stint in Sherlock fandom, a fandom that was so active here at the time that I was able to finally see the good aspects of the site's structure and features.

This is the mistake a lot of people make. They give things a cursory try, don't enjoy them, and go "not for me", forgetting that the last site also had a steep learning curve that was either difficult or that they didn't notice because they were in a different phase of their life.

Bitterness and grief are, frankly, an inherent part of the process. You can try not to be a debbie downer in your public comments, but you can't just not feel those things during the awkward part of the transition. Sometimes, acting positive and cutting off excessively negative thoughts can make you feel less negative overall, but it doesn't happen immediately.

3.

Accept that feeling cranky and old is both a you problem and a state of mind, not a property of the new site

Relatedly, the way we remember fandom platform X feeling usually has more to do with us being in college with fandom friends down the hall or having discovered Our People for the first time or some other time when we had a lot of energy and positive emotions. Often, we were in the throes of a first or new fandom love too, probably for some megafandom that other people also cared about at the same time.

When fandom is leaving some site, there's a grieving process anyway, but we're also often in a worse part of our lives for starting new things. We're busy. We're tired. We're between fandoms. We feel like we already paid our dues to build up our community. Why should we have to start again?

But let me tell you, you always need to start again eventually. I go to a weekly vidders' zoom chat, and a lot of the people in there are old as balls, including Kandy, the person who invented vidding back in the 70s. She's a lot of decades and a few cancers in, and she had to relearn how to vid on a computer after transitioning from slideshows to VCR vidding back in the day. If bad health, platform changes, and dead friends were going to stop her, she'd be long gone.

It's like sharks: you stop swimming, you die.

This isn't just about fandom, obviously. It's about avoiding a midlife crisis and, later, about avoiding feeling emotionally geriatric even when your body is falling apart.

Change gets us all, but being mentally old is a choice. The real reason I gave tumblr such a try was that I had been so resistant to getting on LJ. I was 20. Even a year later, it was fucking embarrassing to have been a crotchety old hag as a college student. I promised myself I'd soldier through the next change instead of dragging my feet about it. And it totally worked in the end! But boy did it not make the transition any less unpleasant emotionally!

4.

Find your joy

As is obvious from the above, the vast majority of the problem is just emotions. Fandom has been on a million broken sites with shitty features. We go where the people are, regardless of whether it has the technological aspects we liked at the last place. The actual shape of that platform is largely irrelevant.

What does matter is whether we as an individual fan are still excited and happy about something. I was between fandoms recently and went looking around for BL series I hadn't watched yet. People kept suggesting things set in the present day with too-cheesy production values and too many banal schoolboys in modern day settings without even anything spicy going on. I realized that the BL/danmei scene wasn't really cutting it for me and I should go for production values and genre and non-canon ships. You probably scrolled annoyedly past the picspams that resulted.

(Of course, hilariously, someone has now shown me the trailer of Red Peafowl, so someone may be making BL that feels like it's for me after all. Look at all that badwrong and very dark color grading.)

When you're in a good place emotionally, it's a hell of a lot easier to weather any change, and when you have a new fandom, it's a lot easier to connect with other fans.

A lot of people wait around for lightning to strike twice. They found their first fandom by accident, and they expect it to happen seamlessly again. For me, it's far more productive to brute force it: collect up a big list of what's popular or what's new and go through it till you find things you might like, then try them all.

And part of this, obviously, is not waiting for other fans to make the party happen. The more you need to join something other people are already doing, the less choice you'll have in fandoms or in platforms. If you aren't picky and just go where the tropey longfic is, that can work, but even then, favorite authors disappear or go to fandoms you hate and former megafandoms dry up. If you're the one bringing the party, it's a lot easier to find a new fandom or platform or community to have fun in.

Requested Prompts #43 - 💓

There's a ringing in your ears, what the hell happened? You just wanted to take a nap... yet it feels like you were in a dome of glass that just shattered. You can feel a poking against your cheek, it's something large, metalic and- wait. You crack open your eyes, just enough to see the intimidating form of Silent Salt staring you down. You're lucky that the beasts consider you... actually, you don't know what they really think of you. Do they think you're their pet? Their friend? a Frenemy? Well, either way you were their warden. " Silent Salt...?" You groan, pushing yourself up from the ground. Silent Salt says nothing, merely just pointing a ways in front of you to- ... hold on, WHAT THE FUCK??? " THE SEAL???" You exclaim, looking at the humongous crack in the realm of the seal. It pulsed with a blue, shadowy energy, which could only mean that Shadow Milk had escaped. And that was bad, very bad, because it meant that you were failing at your job. And... with how big that crack was you doubted that Elder Faerie was on the outside trying to wrangle Shadow Milk back into the seal... Meaning that you had to go outside to get him back in, but doing so would leave the other beasts unattended. Either way, you're failing at your job. So what choice do you really have? You look back at Silent Salt. " Uh... thanks for letting me know?" You said to him, to which earned you a thumbs up in response. You quickly pondered on your choice before looking back to Silent Salt. " Try not to escape while I'm gone, I don't want to double fail at my job." You tell him before running off towards the crack in the seal.

----

As you expected, everything was chaos. Possessed faerie cookies lingered, danced, and fooled around all around you. There were quite a few things that were on fire and the echoes of twisted laughter almost mocked you as you steeled yourself. None of them were who you were looking for despite the resemblance he'd dressed them up in. " Dammit... where would he go if he got out on his own?" You muttered to yourself as you looked around. Fortunately, you could narrow it down to a few places, unfortunately you realized that you are but one cookie. You cannot traverse the entirety of Beast Yeast in just a few minutes or so, it'd take you a few days realistically and by then all the other beasts would have likely gotten out! Were you really fucked no matter what? Probably. You took a deep breath, if anything he'd probably be in some kind of gigantic theater- Well wouldn't you know, there's a gigantic theater right over there that's just oozing with Shadow Milk's aura. There was no way he wouldn't be there, and so that's where you'd go. Hopefully you'd be able to drag him back to the seal.

----

Shadow Milk watched as those pesky little heroes ran about, celebrating as if they'd truly won. Those poor, ignorant fools! They really thought that they'd actually sealed him away in the tree again? They'd been running around in his silly little maze ever since he'd taken hold of the new half-a-cookie guardian's little friends! It was honestly quite pathetic how they hadn't realized they'd been tricked into a false sense of security, he was literally the beast of deceit! Everyone's most beloved Trickster! Tricking them into this just felt too... easy, too boring. He could try his hand at getting Silly-Vanilly to chop down the tree, all he has to do is show him the truth! And why wouldn't he want to know the truth if he embodied it? Unless he was willing to live in a lie... then he was much farther from the Truth than Shadow Milk thought- His train of thought was interrupted when the doors of his theater of lies swung open. " Hm?" That was... odd. Elder Faerie certainly shouldn't be alive, White Lily and co are stuck in his maze of deceit, so then who...? There you stood, looking quite peeved off if he had to say so himself. " Oh! Little Warden, how thrilling that you've come to make an appearance!" He chirped, casting his view of the maze to the side. The maze could wait, his little warden was here! " Shadow Milk Cookie!" You called out, pointing at him accusingly. " You will return to the great seal immediately! And that is an order from the Warden of the Seal!" You commanded him, don't mind the quick pov switch but it was frustrating enough that Shadow Milk escaped in the first place, and now he had the audacity to give you such a smug grin in reply? " Oh Little Warden..." Shadow Milk began, laying on his stomach as he rested his chin on the back of his hand. " It's so so so cute that you think that you can order me around like that~! I'm a free cookie now, and that means that I can do whatever I want again~!" He chirped with a flourish of his free hand, you could see the excited mania dancing in his eyes, you couldn't allow this to stand. " Okay, but you haven't actually earned your freedom at all. You just waited until the seal was weak enough so you could break out!" You retorted, which may have been the wrong thing to say judging by the way his grin dropped for a moment. He soon broke out into a maniacal cackle, seeming to have found your words hilarious. " Ehe he he ha ha hah! Sure, I may have done that, but does it really matter?" He teased, reaching out a clawed hand and picking you up by the edge of your cloak. You shrieked as you were hoisted into the air, you didn't have the protection of the seal that kept you from crumbling while in the real world, so your life was in a lot more danger here. " Ack- Put me down! Or at the very least hold me properly!" You protest as you squirm in place, you feel a shudder run through your dough as the beast before you lets out a low, rumbling chuckle.

" And why should I? You adorable little morsel~" He purrs, flipping you around in his hand so that you were laying on your back on his palm instead of dangling in the air. God fucking dammit, he was doing this again. He knows every, single, god damn weak spot of yours and by god does he abuse them frequently, mainly because they mostly relate to him. " You-!!" You protest, quickly shutting up when you feel his breath wash over you like a wave of hot air. And the way he's looking at you is already making you weak- No, you have to stay strong. " You know..." You hear him begin and fuck when did he get so close? There's a certain glint in his eyes, one that both intrigues you and makes you fear for your life. " I never really got a taste of you like I wanted to... Care to let me just have one little bite? Or maybe just a taste... either would be fine~" He teased with the low, stupidly sexy voice of his. You could already feel his lips at the tips of your little cookie feet, ready to open and swallow them whole if you let him. You could already feel your face turning cherry red, and you knew that he could see it judging by the slight excitement that made itself known in his eyes. You felt tempted to indulge him, but you also didn't want to lose your feet... But maybe he'd go back to the seal? No, he wouldn't... Would he? Or maybe he won't just go for your feet, he's teased you multiple times about gobbling you up in one bite. So if you give him this will he just... eat you? Apparently, you took too long to decide. You felt something moist and blue against your arm, a semi-satisfied hum creeping out of the beast holding you captive. " Mmn... I was right, you really are a sweet little treat. One that I can have all to myself~" Shadow Milk purred, his face looming over you as he left you to process what he'd done. You were in for a long ride, weren't you?

previous ♡ next

The rest of the dinner had consisted of the group finding more and more extreme ways to remove Lilia's 'dessert' off of their plates. Malleus and Silver, experts at this craft, had simply casted spells under the table to remove spoonfuls of the 'cake' every so often while Lilia's eyes were elsewhere. Ortho helped Idia by blasting the 'food' with micro beams of technomatic energy to give off the illusion of Idia slowly eating it. Trey simply casted his unique magic and enjoyed the dessert wholeheartedly, nevermind the fact that it tasted distinctly like candied violets and not like a red velvet cake. 

You absentmindedly spinned the dainty silver spoon in your hand as you debated the merits of merely excusing yourself from dinner with 'monthly problems' as the root cause. On one hand, there'd be no need to eat the most poisonous creation you'd ever seen. On the other, having a bunch of awkward eye contact and boys trying to 'help' with offerings of chocolate and the like was not on your agenda for this vacation. You continued to spin your cutlery as you watched Trey take pity on Riddle and Cater enough to help them out, just as Jamil finished faking his test for poison and proclaimed the dessert contained a certain food dye additive that Kalim was totally allergic too. And in fealty to his master, Jamil too would not partake in the cake. 

Vil and Rook already had the excuse of watching their figures to avoid partaking in dessert, an excuse that Lilia took at face value, promising to use less oil to reduce trans fat next time he makes a cake. The question, of course, was how much oil was Lilia putting in his cakes before? From a glance at Silver's face, way too much. It does explain the yellow liquid with suspended droplets of red that flowed out of the moist yet dry mass in front of you. 

Leona had already conked out, declaring that he only eats meat and will never partake in a food that contains 'herbivore products' whatever that meant. Ruggie, meanwhile, was eating the food with gusto, gladly eating Leona's portion as well. You could guess why, starvation had a knack for making one distinctly more appreciative of food. Even if Lilia's cooking was barely edible, Ruggie would still eat and enjoy it. Tragic, was it not?

Floyd and Jade had started moving their food to Azul's plate, letting the oblivious housewarden magic away their food as well as his own. From the frustrated look on Azul's face, you could guess he hadn't figured out the ruse to the game just yet.

Lilia flourished in all of you 'enjoying' his food, flushed with pride as he described the painstaking process of making the cake. "At first," he said, "I added two drops of the food colouring. But then, I realised, it was never gonna be a 'red velvet cake' without more red! So I dumped the whole bottle in." Lilia puffed his chest out, awaiting praise for correcting this foolhardy decision.

"T-that's lovely." Silver said weakly in reply. "I'm glad you corrected your mistake early on."

"And Trey didn't say a word, that sly devil." Lilia continued, wagging his finger teasingly at his cooking partner. "You were waiting for me to learn it myself, were you not?"

Trey nodded with a smile and a twitching eye. "Yep, I figured you'd realise it eventually."

Lilia guffawed at that. "I'm glad you have such respect for your elders, boy, but next time you should keep in mind that my memory is not as pristine as your own."

Lilia really needs to stop saying such mysterious things. Even if Fae age slower than humans, shouldn't he act more his 'mental age' than his physical one? Though... with his cooking I'd gladly accept dementia as its excuse. 

You sighed quietly, as you decided to take the path of least resistance. You used your food to push the pile of ashes around your plate, giving an illusion of eating it. It seemed less like you weren't eating the food at all, merely picking at it slowly due to a lack of appetite. It really was too bad that Lilia wasn't a better cook. 

Soon enough, the conversation petered out and you stood to dump the 'rest of' your dessert in the food waste bin. Lilia never noticed, not with his distraction and the purposeful silence of your movements. As you went to wash your dishes in the sink, more and more of the boys filed in, all having made deals or negotiations for one to do their dishes for the night.

The suds and the hot water that ran over your skin was familiar as you quickly cleaned up, casting a quick spell under your breath to dry off the dishes and put them away. As you turned around, you smiled at Ruggie and Jamil, the two of them rapidly scrubbing through the plates at a practiced pace. Not too slow to be noticed, but slow enough to get away with just a few moments to themselves. But your attention was taken away by the dark sky, signaling it was about time for you to take some time to yourself. You wanted the opportunity to check up and fix up your wards, with Idia's presence, they were likely weakened a little. 

It was a habit by this point, constantly keeping an eye or two on the wards around your room. The incident was ingrained in your head, to the point where even a day where you didn't check up on them caused this debilitating feeling of fear. Another intruder in your room was something you hoped to never happen again. 

(You were resigned, of course, to the truth of the matter. That it would continue to happen for as long as you were alive. This bloodline that you were born into came cursed with the constant threat of assassins, or worse. For all you could act trusting of your friends, you were never sure when, exactly, they'd come to sell you out. You just hoped it wasn't soon. Hoped to be able to enjoy this illusion of camaraderie for a little while longer.)

You quietly walked up the steps to your room, the group already dispersing amongst themselves into groups of each dorm. A distinct feeling of loneliness overcame you as you watched them separate, yet were never alone. What you would give to have that easy friendship.

There was a knock on your door at 9 o'clock in the evening, just as you were finishing up with warding your room once more. 

"Who is it?" You called out, a pleasant lilt to your voice as you awaited an answer from behind the door. A quick brushstroke to finish off the character for 'warning' and you should be done for the day. 

"it's Trey." A familiar voice replied.

"And Cater!" Another chimed in. "We were wondering if you wanted to play a board game with the rest of us? Apparently Jade brought monopoly with him."

"Oh, sure, I'd love to play." You stood up from your desk and made way to the door, snagging your magic pen as you opened it up. "Shall we go downstairs, then?"

"Of course!" Cater perked up and dashed down immediately.

Trey smiled softly at you and offered an arm. "My lady." He said with a chuckle and a teasing look in his eye.

You giggled in reply. "How chivalrous." You took the proffered arm and walked downstairs with him at a more sedentary pace. 

"We don't have enough pieces for all of us." Jade sighed with a faked look of regret on his face, before his ever-present smile snapped back on. "It seems like we'll have to be in teams, perhaps teams of four?"

"There's eighteen of us," Riddle noted, "so teams of three would be the perfect number."

The smile on Jade's face froze over, though he continued his pleasant countenance. "Of course. I guess the dorms will be splitting up then."

"I think the dorms with three members already work out." Jamil spoke up, "So some of the groups of two will be splitting up instead."

"Rook and I claim (Y/N)." Vil said from his seat on the sofa. "Any objections?"

The glares he got from Leona and Jade were harsh enough to kill, yet they said no word in reply. Always happy to hang out with the pomefiore students, you sat sandwiched between Vil and Rook when the two shifted to make room.

"I can team up with Ruggie and Leona!" Kalim exclaimed from where he was seated, ecstatic grin on his face. "This is gonna be super fun!"

"It'd be even better with a feast..." Ruggie sighed to himself, a glint of sardonic humour in his eye.

Kalim perked up even more. "That's a great idea. Next time we have a board game night, we should make it a feast!"

Jamil sighed. "There's no way I'm making that much food for that many people in such short time Kalim."

"Great! Then I can help out!" He beamed.

"And I could as well." Lilia chimed in with a smile.

A shudder ran through the group.

"Ah... sorry Lilia..." Kalim started, "but you don't know any dishes from Scalding Sands... so..."

"I prefer to cook alone." Jamil interjected. 

Lilia drooped down with a frown. "That's too bad, then."

A clap of his hands brought all eyes to Jade. "Now that the teams are sorted, shall we start choosing our pieces?"

"Oh-oh, dibs on the money bag!" Kalim moved to grab the metal piece when Ruggie revealed it in his hand with a familiar laugh. "Good job, Ruggie!" He patted the hyena beastman on the head before moving to sit back down on the floor at the feet of his team.

"Can we have the dog?" You asked politely from your place on the sofa. Jade wordlessly passed it to you, gaining a grateful smile. You turned to your teammates, wondering quietly: "Are there any strategies for monopoly?"

"Buy everything you land on and get good roles." Vil intoned. "So we should have Rook roll, since he has the best luck of all of us."

"Ah, you flatter me dear Roi du Poison." Rook said with a hand to his chest. "I'd be glad to handle the heavy work for our team. I wouldn't want to see any calluses on either of your soft hands."

Bit weird to say but I appreciate the sentiment.

"And you will handle the money." Vil looked at you. "I'll handle the talking and negotiating. If any auctions come up, I'll bet too. Got it?"

"Roger that!"

"Of course, beautiful Vil."

"Good." He leaned forwards, a competitive gleam to his eyes, "Then shall we win this game?"

"Wait- how does one even play monopoly?" Malleus wondered from his place on the couch.

Trey sighed. "This is gonna be a long night."

"A one." Lilia sighed as he moved the top hat onto another owned property. "How much do we owe you, Azul?"

Azul cackled. "Why, not too much, only 500 dollars!"

Malleus begrudgingly handed over the note to Floyd as the Octavinelle students laughed at their growing pile of money.

"This is unfair." Riddle spoke up from where his team had been sent to the floor, where 'the bankrupt should sit, so we know they're out of the game'. "Of course the board game club members will be the winning teams. We should play a better game."

"Aww, is goldfishie upset about losing so quickly?" Floyd teased with a shark-like grin. "That's too bad... maybe if you had longer arms you'd be able to make better rolls!"

Riddle slowly went red. "Is that. Another. Short joke, Floyd?" He gritted out as Trey and Cater started to coach him into calming down. Riddle only got a laugh in reply, further fanning the flames of his anger.

"We got a two and a one." Ruggie spoke up from the 'Jail' sofa. "Guess we're stuck in here for another turn."

"Good job Ruggie." Leona grinned, "We're out of the madhouse for a little longer."

"Let me out!" Kalim wailed from besides them. "I swear I did nothing wrong! I'm innocent, I swear it!"

"Kalim, this is just a game. You're not actually in jail." Jamil spoke up from his couch, bored out of his mind when Idia and Ortho were doing all the work.

"We got a lucky three!" Rook spoke up from besides you. "We escape le Roi d'Effort's tyrannical reign once more, my dear Roi et Reine."

"Good job, Rook." Vil congratulated, "But we are not out of the woods just yet."

"We don't have enough funds to reliably survive another rent from Idia's group." You murmured worriedly to him as you handed the 'banker', Trey, enough money for another house to your pink set. 

"Trust me, dear, when have I ever lead this team astray?" Vil arched a perfect brow and stroked his hand through your hair in a comforting manner, smirk on his face.

"Uh oh, Azul, we got a five!" Floyd said worriedly as he looked between the board and the dice.

"I'm aware, Floyd." Azul pinched the bridge of his nose as he calculated the prices. "Jade, how is our bank looking?"

"We still have plenty of funds, sir." He reported with a smile.

"You owe us 2000 dollars." Vil interrupted. "We just added a house there."

Jade paled. "The status is dire, Azul."

"Do we need to mortgage?"

"I'm afraid we will."

"Then do so."

A wide grin came to Idia's face as he looked over the board while the Octavinelle group struggled to pay yours. "We have this W in the bag, Ortho!" He paused for a moment, before a squeak. "And Jamil! We couldn't have done this without you!"

"I did nothing."

"Which is what we needed! If I was paired with Azul we would've lost by now... he's way too much of a control freak."

"I see." Jamil frowned in thought. "Thank you, then."

"...What was that Idia?" A threatening smile. "I hope you're prepared to face the consequences of what you've said..." 

"My team is plenty prepared to beat yours. We're not the ones on the verge of bankruptcy after all." Jamil grinned, always pleased to go against Azul.

"And now you've even turned Jamil against me! We just cannot let this stand, right Jade and Floyd?" Azul turned to the tweels for support as he faked heartbreak from Jamil's cruel words.

"Nah. I'm bored." Floyd said, examining his nails before deciding to go back to teasing Riddle until he exploded again.

"LOL even your team doesn't want to help you!" Idia laughed, manic grin on his face. "Ortho, roll a five for us if you'd please."

"...It's a seven."

"Goddamnit."

It's been three hours since the group started playing monopoly, with no end in sight to the horrors off the game. For all you tried to end it, only one other group has gone bankrupt since. 

"Finally, we're done for!" Ruggie sighed, relieved to be done with the game and to go to bed.

"Next time you should roll better." Leona glared. "We were this close to winning."

Ruggie looked at the other four groups still in the running and back to Leona, unimpressed. 

"I think we did super well anyways! We weren't the first group out and that's all that matters!" Kalim piped in, trying to diffuse the tension.

"Eh, whatever." Leona yawned before going up the steps to his bedroom. 

"Wh- Leona, aren't you gonna help clean our stuff up?" Ruggie yelled after him, and with the lack of reply, he groaned and went to pack the group's stuff up.

"I think I'll stay up." Kalim said to him. "I wanna see Jamil win!"

"Kalim... I doubt we're gonna be the winners at this rate." Jamil shook his head, the group funds of Ignihyde + Jamil and Octavinelle being significantly diminished since they declared war on each other.

"Shut up Jamil! We're gonna beat that stupid octopus into the ground, got it?!" Idia hissed, muttering calculations and win rates to Ortho as he surveryed the board with a manic look in his eyes.

Vil rolled his eyes. "This game will be way too long. Let's just-"

"NO FORFIETS ALLOWED!" Both Azul and Idia yelled at the same time, wanting to win 'fair and square', whatever that meant.

You tapped Vil on the shoulder and whispered a question to him. "Can I nap for a bit on your shoulder? I'm very much tired but... we can't exactly go to bed now." You shrugged with a weary smile.

"Whatever." He sighed in reply, and didn't say a word as you leant your head against his shoulder and with soft breaths as you drifted off to sleep.

You were still asleep when the game ended. Idia and Azul burnt each other out of the game, both throwing fits and arguing with each other as they went back to their rooms. Kalim, who had drifted off during the long game, was carried up to their shared room by Jamil with a groan off annoyance. Diasomnia somehow ended up winning despite the team only learning the rules a few hours ago.

Rook spoke up as Jade finished packing up the pieces. "Roi du Poison, I can always carry our dear Reine des Cygnes up the stairs if you'd rather go to sleep as soon as possible."

Vil shook his head. "It's fine, I can carry (Y/N) up myself." He merely glared at Rook when his vice housewarden gave a smug smile in reply. "Don't say a word."

"I won't!" He grinned.

"And don't look at me like that!"

"Like what?"

Vil didn't deign him with a reply and instead picked you up in a bridal carry to get to your room on the second floor. Worryingly, as he did so, you started to stir. His quiet and gentle movements didn't encourage you to go back to sleep, instead it merely woke you up as the two of you reached the top step.

You jolted in his arms. "I- Vil?!"

"What." He said flatly.

"Did you-" You spoke haltingly, tired and disoriented. "carry me up the stairs?"

Vil arched a brow. "Do you have a problem with that?"

You glanced away. "It's just that... you didn't have to go through the trouble, waking me up would suffice. I'm sorry for the bother."

"It was no bother at all." Vil's eyes pierced you as he continued to hold you up steadily. "If I wanted to wake you up, I would have done so. I don't mind doing this much for you." A rare smile graced his face as he looked upon you. "You are... precious to me, after all."

And with that, he set you down gently and walked down the stairs to his room, leaving you frozen in place. As you registered his words, a bright flush marked your cheeks. You hid your face behind your hands for a moment and sighed ever so quietly. Your heart thumped and a sea of butterflies flooded your stomach. 

You wondered what that feeling was as you tucked yourself into bed for the night.

Mini Theatre Jade, packing a monopoly board in his luggage: I can't wait to be on a team with my three favorite people! I'd love to play monopoly with (Y/N)! Vil and Riddle: Allow us to introduce ourselves. Leona: I WANTED TO TEAM WITH HER DAMMIT NOW I'M WITH KALIM. Jamil: ...Finally... freedom...

Some wips of a Starchild/Collector life cycle chart I did.

And some details:

1: ???

- I haven't given a name to this stage, but tbh I kinda wanna call this one "Stardust Bunnies" as a cute or affectionate term. This is one that is rarely seen, as they usually only exist at the hearts of stars. They can survive without a star but for much, much shorter time than any other stage could because they don't have a true core even formed yet.

2.1: Adult

-Most common, sometimes referred to as a starborn or starforged. They live inside the hearts of their stars until they're fully developed adults and usually have all the necessary knowledge to survive on their own.

-Adults make up the majority of Collectors and usually run collection missions.

2.2: Child

- Born without a star from converging energy, magic and matter produced by different celestial events or bodies that aren't stars. Considered uncommon though whether it's because they die young before imprinting on a star or are simply just more rare hasn't been confirmed yet.

-Their growth rate is entirely determined by how they mature emotionally or mentally.

-Stage of childhood is determined entirely by the amount of energy and magic that created them. The less there was, the younger they appear. Eventually they become full-fledged adults of their species.

-Usually not involved in collecting, but this varies based on each cluster.

3: Elder

- Adults become Elders through natural aging alongside their stars, but they can also reach this stage sooner by absorbing energy or magic from other stars or Starchildren.

-The Elders are the ones in charge of guiding the younger Starchildren and keeping peace within their cluster's territory. They also tend to manage the cluster's Family Archive.

-Act as a sort of backup if the adults cannot handle a situation. If things look dicey for the adults, the elders will step in as their power tends to be much, much greater.

4.1: Ancients

-Occur from a metamorphosis triggered by the death of their star. If the star creates a new one, they'll usually bond with it, but some find different stars entirely. If they bond with a star far from their cluster, they will simply move the new one to their original star's place to stay in the cluster.

-These are Collectors who basically cheat death. They are a sort of demigod presence among their society.

-Can experience a second metamorphosis if the star dies and creates a black hole.

-The primary caregivers to new and young Starchildren in their cluster. They also function as the guardians of their territories and fend off hostile forces, namely rogue Outsiders.

4.2: Outsiders or World Eaters

-Like Ancients, they come from a metamorphosis triggered by the death of their star. If a star collapses into a black hole, a Collector becomes this.

-They have a near insatiable appetite and will eat anything in their paths, including their own family members or their stars.

-Some keep sane by consuming enough energy to stifle the hunger but it is a constant fight. Other Collectors may share power to prevent their sibling from being lost.

-Ancients are the best defense against a World Eater, but a large enough or clever enough group of Elders can handle them if needed.

5: Fading/Deconstruction

-The true death of a Starchild. When their star dies, the residual energy transfers to their core. But when that energy begins to dwindle, they become cold. Their bodies freeze and slowly break apart into ice and dust. It is a long, long process.

[yuesya]

yuzuki has given me incredible brainrot, so in honour of that, in mother au, what would happen if yuzuki lived?

would him and shiki get married to the grumblings of the gojo elders, or would they just elope and leave the rest of them to deal with it after? shiki having a shotgun wedding at 19 would definitely scandalize all the jujutsu elders.

what would satoru’s relationship with his dad be? probably pretty good, but he takes after shiki a lot no matter what.

lmao, just realized how funny this is from the outside. we have these two unhinged special grade sorcerers who are completely incomprehensible to most people, who both adore this random, sickly, basically non sorcerer (since yuzuki can’t use his cursed technique much due to the strain on his body, right?).

i’d imagine suguru and shoko would both like him, thinking he’s the only normal one, which, i mean, they’re right, but he also willingly attached himself to shiki from a young age, and probably regularly wages psychological warfare on the gojo elders for fun, since in zenith he’s pretty politically minded.

all this to say, yuzuki, shiki, and satoru deserve to be in a wholesome family unit!! (mostly yuzuki lmao, i always attach myself to slightly tragic side characters)

In a 'Yuzuki lives' AU Satoru grows up a happy child who is loved by both parents. Shiki and Yuzuki get married once the elders find out that she's pregnant -very scandalous. Yuzuki is a little embarrassed by it, while Shiki doesn't care a single jot. They probably get married a few years after Shiki graduates, because the elders want to tie down their Special Grade sorcerer as soon as possible.

Satoru's mental image of his dad is probably something like... a tiger that sleeps during the day. Warm, fluffy, doesn't really have the energy to do much. But boy you don't want to be in range when those claws come out. Yuzuki isn't physically very powerful, nor is he a particularly strong sorcerer, but his mind is sharp and there are reasons why the elders Did Not Want him to marry Shiki for reasons aside from his health.

Yuzuki probably ends up as the clan head in this AU haha.

"You've got guts to spill (but no one trustworthy)" notes masterpost

Fic linked here!!!

Here are some notes from "You've got gut to spill (but no one trustworthy)" aka My ctntduo/sbi vampire au, because there are a few things that I didn't include and I wish I had

Note: I'll be updating this as the fic goes along, so there will be new stuff added weekly :D

Vampire logic

General facts

• They have enhanced sight, small, and hearing, which makes it easier to hunt their prey. Despite the fact they can see at night, it isn't perfect (their eyes reflect light much like a dog or cat)

• Vampires have to been invited into places deemed as "homes". It doesn't matter if that person is in the room/building, they still have to be invited in (imagine is one person deems a public library "home" (not literally), unless the vampire is invited in they cannot enter).

This applies to windows/skylights too, as they are another point of entry they have to be invited in either way. Once invited inside, they can entre through any entrance.

• Crucifies affect all vampires differently, based upon: their age, strength, and current energy.

• Older vampires will be less affected than fledglings, due to a tolerance build up. But a cross will still cause them to experience some pain. If a vampire is tired/low on blood, they will be more heavily effected.

• Holding a cross in front of a vampire will cause them to experience paint, and may also start smoking.

• Placing a crucifix (whether silver or wooden) above a door, will not completely stop a vampire from entering an establishment (especially if they have previously been invited in). However, for them it will be like having to wade through an invisible, painful force field.

• Their reflection will show up in mirrors that don't contain any sort of silver. They also show up in videos and photos.

• If their skin is cut, they will bleed if they have recently fed/have a lot of blood in their system. However, the wound will also heal faster, if they have more blood in their system.

But if their skin is cut with something made of silver, the wound will take a human amount of time to heal.

They will also heal fast, unless they are injured by: another vampire, silver, or burnt by the sun.

• Human blood is preferred, but harder to get a hold of, so they can also survive off animal blood. They are also more stable off human blood, and don't have to feed as often as it satiates their hunger for longer.

• Vampires can still eat and drink "human foods". However, their body does not process it the same way, and that food/drink will remain in their stomach until there is too much and they throw it all back up. For this reason, vampires tend to avoid eating "human foods".

However, foods with a higher concentration of blood is more likely to be digested fully.

Alcohol will also not have an strong effect on them, unless is is drank in a high quantity. The quickest/easier way to get a vampire drunk is for them to drink blood containing alcohol.

• They will physically remain the same age that they were turned out, as well as keeping some of the mentality from that age too.

_____

• Vampires will form bonds between them and other close members of their coven. Through this, they can communicate through feelings/emotions.

Coven bonds work like a phone line, you can get a signal from more than one person at the same time, but some are stronger than others; depending on who you're closest to.

The connection may become weaker/unresponsive, if the other person is far away or not paying attention.

_____

• Once turned, the vampire will take on animistic features from one animal. The type and severity is different for each individual, but all have the ability to hide said features for a short period of time.

• They cannot float/fly unless their animal has the ability to do so (giving them wings) (birds, bugs/insects).

_____

• The older the vampire is, the stronger they often are, and the more respected they are.

• Elder vampires will often sire others, or take in loose vampires, creating covens for said fledglings.

• Fledgling transformation (if done correctly) will last around a week to two, for the full transformation. But the vampire will remain in the nest/not go outside of the main coven building, for a few months whilst they adapt.

_____

The Sun

• Going outside during sunlight hours will make any vampire weaker than their full, nighttime potential./

• Cannot go out into direct sunlight (especially in summer) without burning almost instantaneously. Umbrellas/parasols, hats, and sun cream can be used to delay they burns, but with sun cream it will only stave it off for a few minutes at most.

• They can go out in overcast/cloudy/rainy weather, with less repercussions. But will still experience burns (especially in the former two) if out for extended periods of time.

• Reflecting direct sunlight onto a vampire will burn them the same (if not worse) than if they were to stand directly in the rays.

_____

Weaknesses

• Direct sunlight will result in burns and possible burns.

• Cannot enter buildings/rooms deemed as "home" without being invited in.

• Allergic to garlic, and will experience and similar anaphylactic reaction if exposed to it or ingest it.

• Crucifixes will cause a stinging/burning sensation. If exposed for to long, they will start smouldering.

• Cannot walk on holy land.

• A stake through the heart will kill a vampire then and there.

• Silver.

• Ripping out their heart or cutting off their head will kill them.

Types of People in a JW Congregation

The professionally-trained(?) opera singer; always extroverted, with a booming laugh, and is either a super nice person, or the most passive-aggressively hateful son of a bitch you’ve met in your life. If they’re a guy, he’s an elder; if they’re a lady, she’s an elder’s wife

”Promising” young brother (fourteen-year-old mic handler) who has such a suave voice, it sounds like he’s recording an audiobook any time he opens his mouth; probably can’t carry a conversation to save his life

Group of plump old ladies who always sit in the back and wear fancy suits with matching hats; they have arms like a hydraulic press and will crush you when they hug you

That one brother you swear is a closeted gay man because he wears loud suits, bow ties, and has all the stereotypical mannerisms; but then he gets up on the platform and says the most homophobic shit ever; usually really nice, not necessarily because he actually is, but you feel that way because you feel sorry for him

Five-year-old who gives disturbingly articulate comments and is probably hyperlexic (reads their parents’ words off a card and gets all the credit for it); householders think she’s adorable and she places literature without trying it it’s a me

Old crotchety elder (or group thereof) who likes to fuck with the mind of one specific guy for a prolonged period of time, to the point of giving said guy severe health problems; has driven at least five people out of the congregation and/or out of this mortal coil

Young People who present “The Truth” in such a new, hip, and cool way, it’s physically painful to listen to

Mother who nudges their kid to answer and whispers what she wants them to say in his ear, word-by-word; said kid always sounds like he was just awoken out of a dead sleep

The elder’s wife who smiles too much; probably bursting at the seams to gossip about you

Super Witness Wife and her unbaptized mate who you could have sworn was already a ministerial servant; they’re both really fun, actually

Middle-aged pioneer with seventeen studies who’s dying from stress; usually ends up having some kind of mental breakdown or health concern

The POMI who shows up once in a blue moon; visibly dissociated from reality

Keepers of the Bonfire Party (probably old and/or wealthy, with a forest for a backyard)

That One Sister with a questionable hairstyle who everyone lets slide because she’s a pioneer; has dyke energy

Quiet single person who never comments and always leaves immediately following the prayer; either everyone wants to talk to them, or no one seems to like them and ignores them, depending on how old, attractive, and visibly neurodivergent they are

Person who will talk both your ears clean OFF about Jehovah and how he “helped” them; seems happy but is severely depressed and you‘re very concerned about them

Group of kids who all talk about watching Naruto and Marvel movies in the company of each other; they seem PIMO, but they’re so unafraid about their spiritistic tastes that you can’t tell

Witness family who thinks all modern-day media is demonic, and only watches, reads, and listens to old stuff; the whole family seems like they’re suicidal; there’s definitely more abuse going on than meets the eye

The ten-year-old unbaptized publisher who admits to staying up all night on their tablet because they can never get to sleep before 1:00 AM, but gets nervous when you ask what they were doing on said tablet; probably browses gore websites and reads about methods of torture to feel something and/or reading My Book of Bible Stories got them into it

👀🪃💢how is your return-to-sender hitting? 💢🪃👀

this is a reading for those of you who have done return to senders to someone who’s on some weird/scary bitch behaviour. no matter how simple or elaborate your energy work is - you could do your r2s through spellwork, visualisations, scripting, etc. - this reading will expose how it’s hitting the intended target(s).

choose from the images below. they’re not mine, btw. they’re from pinterest.

don’t over-complicate listening to your intuition. which image do you like the most? that’s the one that calls out to you the most.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

•••••••••••••• pile 1 •••••••••••••••

hi pile 1! welcome to your reading ☺️

this is either a group of people who your r2s is directed to, or multiple individuals. you might not have even targeted anyone in particular - just anyone who’s an enemy (open or hidden) - and i’m seeing that there are a lot of people getting their negative energy thrown back to them.

you guys have supporters of some sort. a small community of people who really love and support you and you appreciate them. this community has bonded together thanks to your practice and development with something.

you began something small but it’s been very well received and you have an extremely stable foundation for whatever this is that you’re developing. i definitely feel like this is either in your local community, or online. and the oppositions who are getting their karma have been evil-eyeing tf out of your success. even if you only see this success as small and brand new or “nothing that great”. others would disagree, pile 2.

they don’t like how loved you are and they don’t like the fact that you’re actually successful with something that requires skill. what you’re doing requires an investment of time, effort, and diligent practice (maybe even a god-given gift) - all of which these people feel like they can’t compete with.

their karma is that they’re going to expose how immature they are in reaction to positive news about whatever project you have going on. i see them embarrassing themselves in front of a community (whether it’s one of their communities or in front of your community of people).

their finances will also be fucked with, since i feel like they were probably evil-eyeing yours. they’re going to have a major restriction on their cash flow into their bank accounts. i’m feeling saturnian energy so you could’ve called upon saturn when doing your energy work or you could’ve done this work on a saturday (since saturn rules that day). there’s definitely going to be a fluctuation in their finances, and they’re going to feel immature and dissatisfied with where they’re at financially.

they’re not going to have the stability that they need to feel like they’re a grown, responsible adult. i’m seeing that they might want to move out of their parents house, or develop a career, or save money to buy a car. whatever it is, they’re going to be prevented. they’re literally going to feel like they’re still a young teenager when these people could be in their young adult/middle-age/elder years.

i’m seeing that some of these people - or one of these people in particular - is clearly very attention seeking. they’re going to be ignored by the group of people that they usually receive emotional fulfilment from. this group of people aren’t going to want to deal with them anymore because they’re so draining.

they’re going to feel under appreciated and undervalued. i’m seeing that these people might put in more work at their jobs than their coworkers, but they’re the ones who are singled out for “not doing enough” whenever they feel like taking things easy. they’re not allowed to “slack off” which is actually just them lowering their work effort to the same level as their coworker’s. their manager/boss expects the excessive work effort all the time and it’s going to take a toll on their emotional and mental health. they’re going to be aware that they’re selling themselves short but feel like they can’t do anything about it for some reason.

i’m even seeing that for some of you, some of these people have been copying you or your work. either way, nobody’s really paying attention to their plagiarism the way that people do to your originality, but this will be exposed and realised by many people. it’s going to be obvious or it’s going to be made obvious by someone in particular. a fire sign perhaps? the king of wands is the card that represents this person. this exposer is someone who puts in A LOT of hard work and passion into their own projects, so plagiarism is a huge pet peeve for this person. that’s why they’ll be the one to expose these copycats.

•••••••••••••• pile 2 •••••••••••••••

hello pile 2, welcome to your reading ☺️

this person is going to be backstabbed heavily by someone who they believe truly loves them. they could be experiencing more conflict with their partner/whoever they’re dating more than usual, but they’re adamant on finding a solution to these problems.

their person on the other hand? not so much. this backstabbing might not even be that. it could just be their partner breaking up with them and they take it as a betrayal because of their abandonment issues.

for those of you who know that this person is single, any attempt at offering love will be rejected. and i’m seeing brutal rejection too. they could’ve brutally rejected you in some way, and now they’re going to be humbled. any chance of genuine romance and love offers of substance isn’t available to this person now. or anyone that they get into a relationship with will be a hidden enemy. they’ll fall for them though.

they might also be verbally attacked by multiple people. i’m hearing “verbal jumping” 😂. this could also be the way that they speak to themselves. they’re going to become their own worst enemy and verbally abuse themselves to the point of sabotaging major blessings that they’ve been trying to manifest. this could play out in work, friendship, or love for them.

i feel like this person is an insecure person to begin with, and they were evil-eyeing and psychically attacking your intellect, your abundance, your money, and your ability to attract people who are genuinely loving to you (romantic or platonic). that’s why they’re experiencing all of these things. this person could’ve been attacking your physical appearance in some way, but i’m seeing that upon the return of their jealousy of your physical appearance, the decline in their mental health will negatively affect their physical. this person might prioritise their physical appearance and i’m seeing that they’re not going to like the way that they look at all.

they’re also going to have to watch a major blessing or some major abundance pass them by because of being stuck somewhere. stuck in a job that doesn’t pay well? or stuck in a relationship that doesn’t make them happy? whatever it is, life is going to taunt them with something or someone who would’ve been way more of a blessing to them. but they’re going to miss out on this. i’m seeing because of their lack of action. they’re feeling stuck. i really feel like this missed blessing will be caused by them staying loyal to a relationship that they clearly aren’t being valued in.

i’m also hearing that the more that they get hit with their karma, the more you receive abundance and major bouts of growth with your manifestations. you guys may have used Jupiterian energy in this return to sender to gain abundance alongside protection from this.

for a lot of you, this person is going to have a decision to make in a 3rd party situation that they’re put into. that’s probably why they feel stuck in their situation. they’re still going to stick around and compete for the attention of their deceitful partner instead of getting tf out, and they’re going to have to deal with missing out on some major abundance because of this too.

•••••••••••••• pile 3 ••••••••••••••••

hi, pile 3, welcome to your reading ☺️

this person is going to feel very apathetic about their life. this could be due to friendships that just don’t resonate with them anymore. they could feel as though these people are too immature or too reckless. i’m seeing that they’re going to have to give up the expectation of an equal give and take with these people. they could be an ex-friend to you who is realising that you (and maybe even others who they’ve mistreated) were the people who could’ve helped them actually get somewhere in life. i’m just picking up on this person being around people who want to party, drink, prioritise men and/or women, etc. they don’t even resonate with that anymore.

i’m also seeing that this person will be the one who everyone comes to - mainly for money or some type of materialism? if they smoke 🍃 then it could be that they’re being used for that by those around them currently. it’s almost like they recognise this but they put up with it because they have nobody else. i’m getting people pleaser vibes. they definitely are going to feel under appreciated by their circle though.

their circle also won’t take much interest in their hobbies either. they’re going to feel ignored and not supported. they may even give up a whole entire hobby because they’re no longer receiving people’s praise and validation from it.

they’ll always feel left out around these people, as if they’re the odd one out. this person may have tried to “other” you at some point and now they’re receiving the same treatment. i’m seeing the main message that for this person to be accepted by people who they don’t even feel valued by, they’re going to have to give up some of their wants and desires. hobbies and interests that don’t fit with this group will be something that your target leaves behind.

i’m even seeing that for those of them who are in relationships, they’ll feel like their partner gives more to everyone else than they do to this person. they feel like they can’t complain for some reason though. this could have something to do with being financially reliant on this partner? or reliant on them for a place to live? something like that. for others, this person is being taken advantage of financially. their partner might continuously ask for money and because this partner is so desperate to keep them happy, they don’t put up any boundaries with them.

this person is going to ignore a genuine connection with someone because they choose to focus on superficial ones. they’re going to settle for breadcrumbs and even try to convince themselves that they just need to accept it. their self esteem is going to be at an all time low, no matter how much they try to cover this up.

hey felas!! real ones know im a sucker for worldbuilding, so here’s the entirety of my star lore! feel free to ask questions to help me expand the lore, and be warned. this is a VERY very long post. if you want, save it for later!

oh and along w some geno hcs sprawled about 😁👍

__What are Stars?__

Stars are celestial beings that have existed since the dawn of time, aiding in shaping the world that is now known today. Most notable for granting wishes, immense power or prophecy, they've certainly gotten their influence across worlds. They glitter in the nightsky, lighting up what used to be a simple void, and even come down to defend or create things of their own. Our most notable heroes so far have been Rosalina, Geno, Starlow, Twink and the Star Spirits.

Although "Stars" is a pretty general term for the celestials, there are different types in their own right. The most important being Wish Stars, Star Sprites and Lumas.

__Wish Stars__

Wish Stars are first born in.. well, Starborn Valley, starting off as Starkids. They're raised and protected by a Shaman and Nijins until they're old enough to be sent to Star Haven, where they'll begin to discover their destiny. Most are made into Wishmakers- the ones who approve which wishes come true at Star Road, and then send them down to Star Hill.

However, some wish to live a life of glory, and a bit more stoic than others. Those Stars are trained to be Star Warriors, a process that takes thousands of years. If you've heard Geno saying he's been training all his life, he's not lying.

__Star Warriors?__

Star Warriors protect the Wishmakers and, really, any Stars in need. Traditional Star Swords are welded by Star Sprites, given to graduates once their training is finished. Apprentinces that have potential are put through a final test, which if they pass, continue their training to be able to head down to the surface. They're trained by older Stars how to possess inanimate objects, make use of weapons that are more commonly used at the surface, and most importantly; common.

..Unfortunately for Geno, the Star Road shattered before he could get to the *speaking* part of his lessons. Luckily, his doll translates his Starspeak for him, so he has no trouble with that.

__Star Sprites__

Unlike Wish Stars, Star Sprites are a bit more rarer than the three. They're much more solid proofed and are usually able to head down to the surface on their own time without the danger of getting stuck; great for messaging systems.

They have a better control of their magic as well, able to seal others away (now a more frowned upon practice) for safety. Notable instances are Cobalt Star and Astreor.

The only difference was that Cobalt Star was a trained Star Warrior, though Astreor was almost out of Star Haven. The elder Star Sprites gained a slightly dislikable reputation because of these decisions, all we can hope is that the younger are able to repair it.

There’s even a subspecies of Star Sprites called Sparkle Sprites! They are much more conditioned to the surface, and even have their own spells. They linger around Theaters that are actually Star Temples in disguise, which makes it easier for one to repair.

__Lumas__

The most common of the three, they're a bit in the middle of being able to go to the surface on their own. Most have the mentality of a child, making it hard for them to be able to process dangerous situations. Usually a Star Warrior is sent to protect them if a Luma does decide to go waltz around.

A Luma getting older is a tedious process. Thousands of years have to go by for a Luma to rival at least a 15 year old's comprehension. Polari was the first Luma, and next to her in growing age is Lubba.

__Star Rockets and Launch Stars?__

Star Rockets and Launch Stars are.. um.. *dead* Stars, to say the least. I know, I know. Using a corpse as a way of transportation is preeettyy gross, but most are made from loose stardust, compacted with celestial energy to make a *boost* through the zero gravity of space, where it's easy to float around aimlessly. Thanks Uncle Chuck, your ashes will go to good use.

__Star Bunnies?__

Star Bunnies are basically the scraps of excessive celestial magic, bunched up together with a bit of light to make these cute little guys! Adorable.

Now that all the basic stuff is out of the way, let's get into the nitty gritty.

__Star Spirits__

The Star Spirits are a group of seven powerful stars, known for their excelling strength in their specific powers. Consisting of Eldstar, Mamar, Skolar, Muskular, Misstar, Klevar and Kalmar; the Star Spirits are led by Eldstar, who is, as predicted, the eldest and first Star Spirit.

Mamar is known for her motherly qualities, Skolar has knowledge of magic long gone, Misstar takes great indulgence in her culture, Klevar is the youngest of the seven and still in his training, and Kalmar acts as a bodyguard of sorts, though has great battle knowledge.

During the ascension of becoming a Star Spirit, there was an argument between the Stars on who would gain the title "Star Spirit of Strength"- Muskular or Geno. The Star Road shattered before they could come to a conclusion, and Geno gave the title to Muskular.

__Millennium Stars__

Millennium Stars are a subspecies of Wish Stars, though incredibly rare, only one being born every thousand years. They are engulfed in a pure white and are incredibly unstable until they can harden up a shell, though unfortunately they usually fade before then.

The birth of a Millennium Star, although short, brings a new age above the stars and down below. However, there is one Millennium Star that *did* survive the process, became a Star Warrior, and was sent down to the surface.

No one knows where they are now. Though.. there are some rumors they took up a spot as a gameshow host.

__Is there any way to undo a sealed Star?__

The spell for it is practically lost to time, even for the Stars. However, Skolar might be able to pick it out.. if you ask nicely.

__Ztar vs Dark Star__

Age old question: whats the difference?

Ztars are basically the opposite of Stars (usually Wish Stars), emitting a dark aura and magic compared to a Stars' celestial and light. Ztars are a bit of a mystery though, as they're only born on the surface.

Dark Stars are just Stars who got the bad end of the stick. Unfortunately seen as a bad omen since birth, most are sent down to Starborn Valley to get special treatment for their dark stain and for them to never be discovered. Though one seemed to slip the Shamans' watchful eye, travelling out to the Mushroom Kingdom to slumber under the castle instead.

Elder Star Sprites were sent down to make sure the Dark Star wouldn't cause a ruckus, and sealed it under the same castle it hid under. This one, of course, was Astreor.

Sometimes, Dark Stars are born alongside Millennium Stars, acting as a shadow of the pure light being. They're usually refered to as twins, though they don't really get much time together.

__Star Bits__

Star Bits are similar to Star Bunnies in a way; packed up Star magic to create a neat little snack! Star Bits are used as currency and food, and theres clear varieties for them both. Lucky for you, they're both edible!

Currency based Star Bits taste like Sour Patch Kids. While the food based ones taste like rock candy.

__Nonsentient Stars?__

Stars like Super Stars, Power Stars and.. really just any used as an item (ie Shine Sprites, Star Points, Star Coins, Star Block.. etc) are more like a physical wish. A wish for invincibilty, more strength or speed.. these little guys usually help for an extra boost in your adventure. If it doesn't jingle angrily when you grab it, then it's not sentient.

__A higher authority..__

In hierarchy terms, Rosalina rules over the entire cosmos; this includes Stars (obviously). In a way, Rosalina is their mother, and they're all related in a way. In second are the Star Spirits, Elder Star Sprites, Shamans and (sometimes) Star Warriors. Polari acts as a supervisor to the council, sending the agreed-upon news to Rosalina. If the situation becomes serious, Rosalina herself is asked to join the council, though the Elders are beginning to trust their own intuition more..

The Shamans are a gateway of what happens in the surface to the older Stars who can't go down without trouble.

__How come Geno is alone in his ranking?__

Geno has the role of protecting the Star Road and it's inhabitants. Obviously other Star Warriors take his role when he's busy in the surface, but Geno so far has the most experience in possession and weapon use.

Unless he had time beforehand to train a class down in the surface, any special missions he's sent on has to be done by himself.

__Getting stuck in the surface?__

Oh yeah, it can happen. It takes a lot of energy to go down to the surface *and* back up. Leaving possessed items on the surface helps with the process, so it doesn't feel like you're lugging 10 tons behind you.

However.. sometimes it excerts so much that Stars plummet back down to the surface, and never make it back up. This is most suceptible to Star Kids and it's very dangerous for one to head down during their stay in Star Haven. Unless aided by a blessing, most that go down *stay* down.

⭐️ TW: MENTIONS OF DEATH AND INJURY! PLEASE KEEP SCROLLING UNTIL YOU SEE THE STARS AGAIN.⭐️

__The shattering of Star Road was like a massacre.__

Those who were in the middle of Star Road during Exor’s crashing down were immediately pulverized. Geno was lucky to escape with his life. It was traumatic for all of Star Haven, sprays of stardust misted about. The Star Spirits, Lubba and Polari knew what happened that day. Geno can’t bare to talk about it.

__Stars don’t last forever.__

Yeah, sad thought, but it’s true. Either sucked dry of their celestial power, too weak to continue on, SHATTERED, or simply burning out like a dying flame. Luckily, the natural way takes millennia. There’s a higher chance of Stars dying on the surface than up in space, making more enforcement for only trained Stars to head down.

Star Warriors or Stars doing an important job in the surface are often held in ceremonies when they fade. Example A, a monument held for Cobalt Star in Star Haven.

⭐️⭐️

__Stars are incredibly hard to heal.__

Celestial beings that have the ability to open portals into literally other timelines or universes obviously do not do well when injured. It takes a lot of magic, patience and skill to heal up even just a cut on a Star. Please, treat your local astronomers with care.

__Usually, Stars can detect if another is nearby. (for now, context is on the surface)__

__You can actually pull a Star out of a possession with force.__

Though, you’d have to have the a power *equal* or, preferably, more powerful than the Star you’re trying to pull out. They’re literal celestials and can pack a punch, though know it is extremely painful to get pulled out forcefully. Dear villains, if you wanna make it happen, just snatch a Star to beat the Star. Easy.

__Star-Specific Places on the surface.__

Ahem.. Star Hill, Starborn Valley, Crystal Palace, Star Way, and.. Star Citadel?

Star Hill and Starborn Valley are both places where Stars (most commonly Wish Stars) are born. The Crystal Palace was once a place of prayer to the Stars, a temple kept clean and filled with precious jewels to please the celestials. That was.. until the religion was lost to time. Now, it's more of a vacation home for the Star Spirits.

..The Star Citadel is just a rumor. I mean, *REALLY*, if you believe in it so much, why don't you go look for it?

⭐️TW: MENTIONS AND EXPLANATION OF RELIGION! PLEASE KEEP SCROLLING UNTIL YOU SEE THE STARS AGAIN.⭐️

__Star Worship__

As the most common form of religious practice in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Star Worship boasts the largest pantheon of any mythology in the world. The main focus of this religion lies on the seven star spirits, whom are prayed to, or rather wished upon.

They reside in Star Haven, where they decide whether the wish is selfish or not: If deemed not selfish, the Star Spirits will send the approved wish, alongside a graduated Wish Star from Starborn Valley, to Star Road. Here the two parts are merged into a Granted Wish, which is sent back to the Mushroom Kingdom and the wish is fulfilled.

Granted Wishes are powerful things, and even after they have fulfilled their wish, some power remains in the star shape. The power of used wishes can be used in various ways, but the most common way is personal invincibility or overall enhancements of one’s own power, or even for it to be used as fuel for machines. The power exerted by Stars can be troubling for some folks, and thus might behave differently in the presence of them (See Wiggler In SM64 – Make Wiggler Squirm).

To star worshippers, Star Hill is an extremely important place, as it is believed that wishes made there are bound to become true. In the past, this was also true for the Crystal Palace, but that shrine as since long fallen into disrepair.

They also believe that the highest honour the soul might achieve post-death is joining the stars in the heavens. However, only pure souls can arise to the heavens. Those weighed down by the sins committed during their life cannot ascend and are forces to roam the land as ghosts.

While priests exist throughout the land, the most notable religious faction of Star Worship is the monk like Shamans, who live in secluded societies where they connect with and read the stars. It is a great honor to become a Shaman, but once the decision has been taken, there is no stepping out of it. You are a Shaman for life.

⭐️⭐️

__As long as a Star has the proper training or age, they’re able to possess inanimate objects!__

So far, a doll, plush and robot model is the prime example of what Stars are capable of. But in reality, they could possess anything that isn’t.. well, alive. Most Star Warriors train to the day that they might need to possess something, but Geno has the most experience. A younger Starkid can’t possess things either, so it’s dangerous for one to fall to the surface.

The Shadow Stars surpass this rule, since they’re hybrids of dark energy and a Star.

__Siblings?__

All Stars are technically siblings. A Star can have "parents" and couples, but they often brush away their relations. Please don't look too deep into this. It gets dark fast.

It's common to greet a Star as a sibling, plus just as in mutural respect. They're used to it. You get used to it too. Have fun. Be gay. Do crimes.

__Stars aren’t meant to feel extreme emotions.__

Thus, why Geno finds the feeling of sickness, anxiety or excitement a bit strange. Also why extreme emotions hit him so hard once he unlocks them.

__It’s pretty normal for Stars- especially Star Warriors- to teach their offspring powerful magic spells that can maybe maybe not be used for the better, and training of legendary weapons.__

What do you mean you aren’t supposed to let a Shaman teach your kids discipline? You had the same tradition. Wielding weapons 50X your size, casting spells that can rip holes in reality, walking through literal portals to different dimensions and universes.. well, that’s all part of the Star Childhood Experience™️!

__The Star Flute__

The Star Flute is.. well, a flute made by the Stars to detect if there’s something with celestial magic or a magical stain nearby, by playing a specific tune and getting an echo back.

The flute only works on the surface, and can detect hidden stars as well. The flute is guarded at Starborn Valley and only used in a rescue mission of sorts.. though of course the chance of a villain trying to sniff out a Star could burst through and snatch it themselves.

__The Observatory automatically translates Starspeak into a visitor's native language!__

So technically, Mario would be hearing the Lumas talk in Italian, and Mephiles in a godly tongue. Though, for the conversation Geno had with Mecha, would it be English-Common or a series of beeps and boops? Hmm..

__Star Speak, Star.. Slang?__

Here’s some Star-Specific words for you!

⭐️TW: MENTIONS OF DEATH! PLEASE KEEP SCROLLING UNTIL YOU SEE THE STARS AGAIN.⭐️

- “I wish..” NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Stars have practically forbidden wishing for something. That right is reserved for the surface dwellers- and anyway, any wish made by a Star never gets granted. It’s usually by mistake one gets made.

(note, they use “hope” as an alternative!!)

- Faded, Shattered

Faded and shattered both have the same connotation: death. Faded is a more peaceful version of it, and shattered usually means they were murdered (commonly a Star Warrior).

- Brother, Sister, Sibling

In a way, all Stars are siblings, though they exclusively use the terms to show mutual respect or affection. Think of it as their way of saying “I see you.”.

__All of Smithy’s major weapons are.. Stars?!__

It’s true. Smithy himself ravaged through Starborn Valley and snatched poor Starkids one by one, most notably.. um.. well, Exor, Bowyer, Mack and Yaridovich. It’s almost disgraceful that the Stars didn’t report the names of the children gone missing..

They were all drained of their celestial magic, leaving no trace of a star as pupils- so nobody would know. In the search for a fuel source, Exor drained from Smithy’s dimension, becoming a gateway for it and in the process a Dark Star. Bowyer skittered around a current, giving him a lightning element. Mack was slammed directly next to the smelter, giving him a fire element.

..It’s unsure what element Yaridovich is. But one thing is clear; if you look closely in his eyes.. there’s a small twinkle deep inside the hollow metal. Yaridovich was the only one not fully drained.

⭐️⭐️

__Star Ascension__

How, you may ask, can a non-celestial mortal become.. celestial?

It’s usually done by a Star (specific species not required) and after recent death, basically returning the soul to their body as a new being, now engulfed in celestial energy. Ascension Stars are not considered true Stars.

for references, here’s some examples by mari on twitter, and star appearances by someone on deviantart (please tell me if you can find their user!!!)

[risperidog]

Everything is made up of energy: every particle. we're made of energy, as are the stars. as are the beings that exist in between reality and not (the hallucination realm that only some of us are granted access into, as well as dreams, which are in their own sense, hallucinatory in nature). some of us can control the energy that makes us up, and by gaining power through practice, mindfulness, and connection with the Self, unlock special abilities. jump through time, read minds, predict the future accurately, blend the dimensions we exist in with the ones we create, and communicate with the universe at large in complex ways.

this energy can be stored in concepts and practices as well, such as thought and memory. when someone thinks of or remembers you, it's the universe transferring and sharing some of your energy to the receiver. even after death, remnants of your energy exist in the minds of others. you cannot truly die until memories and thoughts of you cease to exist, and only then is your energy released to the universe to be recycled.

as the Earth and human species continues to evolve and adapt, energy is stored for longer after the death of the physical Self, which has led to people in the modern age being weaker vibrationally and not containing as much energy within themselves due to the universe rationing the little energy it does have. technology, longer life spans leading to longer memory, improved functioning into elder age, proper documentation, etc, keeps our energy existing even after the death of the physical Self. the universe also spends energy on expanding itself, continually draining it's own life force, much like we drain our own. the act of those in power documenting and defining our identities is also a form of energy-stealing, though it's stealing it from the generations to come, stealing it from the future. it preserves our existence even after the physical Self dies, leading to our energy being in a state of limbo and thus non-recyclable. this means that as the human species continues on, each newborn will be weaker and weaker, believing only in false realities and blindly following simulations, and unable to explore realms of existence much greater than their physical Self. this is a way for those in power to keep us deemed inferior in check, allowing them to keep that power without contest.

there are people that have too much energy, too much vibrational power. from a young age they learn how to alter reality (both consciously and on a subconscious level) and will quickly learn of their special abilities. they're often written off as crazy or mentally ill, and while some do fall in that category, many are just universally superior beings at their core. many of them feel ashamed for their ability to see dimensions and the entities that exist within them, while some many try to make a profit off of it. those of us with too much of this energy, Light Beings, are closest to the interconnected reality and universe that most people don't believe in or only get glimpses of.

we all live in our own reality and believe it to be an undeniable truth that cannot be argued with. many believe that their reality is the only one, everyone else must exist within it. i believe that while we all create our own realities, it is only a subreality within the true one. i aim to gain unlimited access to the true one and unlock it for others.

accessing this true Reality will not be easy, as our own false ones and the false ones of others may try to sway us away. the reality protectors within ourselves as well as protective entities within the true Reality will be scary and alarming as we get closer and closer. they don't want us to know the truth as they fear pollution and contamination, as well as energy-stealing. it is essential we get there though to understanding Everything.

those that have unlocked the secret true Reality are often wiped from existence by humans that view themselves as greater and paint themselves in such a way by using their power and influence to alter the false realities of the masses. low vibrational (low energy containing) people follow these simulations blindly as they cannot fathom other truths can exist, they don't have enough power to conjure up such thoughts. if too many of us find out about true Reality and are able to access it, then their false realities will no longer exist and they lose their power and influence. this is why many of us are written off as ungrounded; it's a tactic to weaken us and scare us away from exploring our special abilities. we're actually closer to the true Reality, thus more grounded than the majority. this makes us angels; high-energy messengers. we can exist between realms and communicate with multiple realities at once.

Questions sddsdd for stardust :D

How old do they usually live to be? Do they even really measure time since space is wacky?

What do they do for fun?

Are there any animals on the planet? Ooh also what does the planet look like/how does it work?

Do sun and moon have more things to wear than just black?

So it seems like they know to avoid the earth, but why? And how did they find out in the first place?

What happens if one eats a lot of them? Like more than eclipse a lot.

....What would happen to a human if for whatever reason they did that?

What are sun and moon trying to do?

I think I found the ask!! Yay!!

1! How old do they usually live to be? I haven't put much thought into it really! I think on their home planet, they'd live to around 100-150ish? They do age I just haven't shown that in any ocs but I have this elder lady I've been thinking about and she's pretty old! I'll have to actually draw her sjndjw

2! What do they do for fun? They create! Their species is very big on arts and crafts!! But that also includes creating and improving tech, making music, designing and a lot more!! They tend to really enjoy puzzles and challenges! They also like to explore and document!

3! Are there any animals on their planet? Yes! I really need to work on what their homeworld is like! I have a basic idea for it but now I'm not sure how I like it! They definitely have pets and livestock though! Most are primarily vegetarian so there isn't much livestock though! They do harvest bugs though!! They really like eating bugs!

4! What does the planet look like? Hmm not sure! Originally their world was covered in mountains and they lived in giant cave systems! They have domes breaching the surface but they typically stay underground! Their planet is huge in intergalactic trade so there'd be big cities with giant landing docks for ships! But I'm kinda more into a solar punk vibe? Super high tech and cool machines but still super naturey and cozy! I'd like to think they have a flourishing ecosystem on their planet!

5! Do sun and moon have more things to wear other than black? Yeah! They have tons of casual wear! Moon has a lot of flashy fashion stuff while sun is a little bit more minimalistic with the exception of a few outfits! They just wear their plain clothes all the time because they're kinda sad and depressed and don't have the energy to put work into dressing y'know? But that changes eventually!

6! Why do they avoid earth? Mostly because there's nothing around earth! There's really no reason to be close other than to observe! Also, earth is monitored so no aliens intervene with earth's development. It's poorly monitored though! Observation devices are pretty outdated and the monitors are hardly ever watched!

7! How did they find the place? They were kinda just drifting aimlessly and found themselves in the area! Their ship can turn plant matter into fuel so they had planned on just taking some dead leaves and getting out of there fast. Ha didn't happen like that

8! What happens if one eats a lot of cores? They blow up!! Kinda! It varies between beings but they get more and more mentally unstable and their body starts to get deformed! Some experience voices that drive them crazy, while some experience many phantom limbs! If they consume too much, the energy of the core becomes too much for them and they implode before exploding! The energy of this death can create wrapped areas of space! And places with high energy that can damage tech and equipment! Overall, it'll usually kill them!

9! What would happen to a human that ate a core? They'd die! Pretty painfully too! Those of warmer colors have very hot cores, so the human would burn and boil from the inside out! Those with cooler colors have freezing cores! So a human would freeze from the inside out! Neutral colored beings have a core temp in-between! Their core would cause a human to have such a terrible heart attack, they would die! They'd get all jittery and basically have a huge panic attack before dropping dead!

10! What are sun and moon trying to do? Hmmmmm I have some ideas but I want to explore them a little before I talk about them :D!!! But mostly, they want normality and comfortability! They want to heal and be happy again!

#yayyy im so happy i found your ask!! #i really need to figure out ehat their planet is like jsnekwks #ren won't shut up #beings made of stardust #beings made of stardust au

One of the Witch's dresses, currently placed not on her person yet bearing the residual scent of lavender - so seamlessly interwoven with other smells of the garden, herbs and alchemy. The Hunter lifted it slowly, before bringing it up to his half-covered face.

One of the odd and yet charming aspects of the man of the dark gales - he didn't exactly skulk around. If he wanted to take a deep whiff of something pleasant, he simply did.

...She would find him with his face buried in black fabric, sniffing intently as a scenthound. Guess he did miss her after their recent period of separation.

There was absolutely no shame, nor any noticeable shift to his expression when he finally noticed her (or, at least, refocused his attention). If anything, he seemed rather self-satisfied as he extended his hand, returning the garment.

"Blood and blossoms alike suit you," purred the elder of the Unlimited. "Red and violet dance well together."

@kazeofthemagun

Where she was, no one could truly say but her. Legs curled inwardly; her hands cradled the odd crystal ball within her gentle grasp, seated neatly within her lap as she delved beyond what most knew. In her mental wanderings through old ruins and history, as she studied lost knowledge and pieced together the puzzle of unique spells that haven't been used in ages, she felt an interruption.

Curious spirits of knowledge tapped at her, curled around her conscious shape and whispered of a visitor within her domain. Politely the witch excused herself for this session and shifted away from the ruins; she channeled herself closer to home as she scryed, viewing her own clearing to see a familiar redhead crossing through.

Excitement bubbled up within as she carefully disconnected herself from the ether of all things, brought herself back into the known reality - or the one she chose to acknowledge as her own. Placing the crystal orb within her bag of holding, the witch proceeded to give a lazy stretch of her arms above her head - back arching against the gravestone she had been resting against for hours prior.

Upon her feet once more she cleaned up the space around what was meant to be her grave and padded out of the brush, returning swiftly to the cabin. Pulling open the front door she stepped in and found him there, face buried within one of her dresses. Perhaps some may be put off by such a sight but the witch understood the man before her, there was only a slight squint of amusement shown as she admired the sight. It was far more pleasant to see him in the flesh than not, after-all. She was certainly curious of his adventures away from this place they both could call home, together.

The witch ventured closer, accepting the garment upon him seemingly having his fill of it. Yet it didn't stay within her grasp, not when she could simply toss it onto the dresser nearby. It would seem her focus was only upon him, upon his return and she did not cease walking closer until they were a hair's breadth apart. Here and now black eyes took in her Hunter, assessed his condition and well-being both physically and within the energy that made up his being. Yet they did not stray far from his own gaze, far too much comfort found in the stares they exchanged.

"Oh? Thank you, lovely. I agree with you entirely." Mortem mused as she stood a little taller to wrap her arms around his neck, to draw the two of them closer until the distance was closed finally. Yet in this embrace the witch's gaze gleamed with a familiar playfulness, "That's why I love our dances so very much. Whether it's beneath the moonlight, or one with blades-- or something more carnal." Ashen lips curved into a teasing grin at the latter. "I do so hope you'll be visiting long enough to indulge me in all three... numerous times, preferably."

There was never any denying her interest in him in all ways imaginable. Red and violet mixed well when feet were sweeping across her hardwood floor or out within the grass beneath the moon - though he could be clumsy, he had come far as a dance partner. For dancing was just another form of combat and violence was a language they both knew intimately. It was why she loved to speak it with him, to tear each other down in the guise of building themselves up. Trust to restrain oneself and trust to go harder than others would existed within the same beautiful knot that kept the two of them bound. And speaking of intimacy... her cool fingertips danced along the back of his neck, desire ever evident in some capacity whenever she looked upon him. "I'll let you choose the sort of dance our reunion should consist of first~"

#kaze: *walks in the door* mortem: ah. so you've chosen getting jumped-- #the 3 options with mortem: dancing. combat. boning. the secret dance tho with thems: snugging just right on the couch #maximum squish is a go! sdgfdgfhgj #kazeofthemagun #asks #look i was gonna reply to this asap but mortem was 100% “i'm just-- i'm just gonna take him down you honor” and i was like CALM DOWN

[kazeofthemagun]

@shiroi---kumo asked the summoner:

"Black Wind?" He sounds hanging entirely upside down from his position in the sky practically buzzing with energy as he does so. "You haven't eaten much at all today nor have you drank much water." They've been walking for ages but the cloud seems to continue their trek in a very opposite form of travel. "You know I keep snacks on me for you. You need to eat you know. You should drink something. You seem very slow today." His voice is falling out of him at nearly a thousand miles per second as his entire form continues to buzz as he hangs. "Are you alright? Feeling ill? If you are, we shouldn't just keep trudging along. We should find a place to rest. I can carry you if you'd like. Would that make it a bit easier? It's no trouble I would be happy to do so. Really though you should be hydrating because if you pass out on me, I will fly us to the next town over. I understand the importance of the situation but your health is important to." Somehow, by defining the laws of physics, his hand is able to scourge in the traveling bag he keeps without it or it's contents falling to the ground. It's as if the bag itself has connected itself to his belt by way of strange magic. A bottle is produced, red and black in color. "Here. Water. Drink. You can walk and drink at the same time. You're talented I believe in you." The Cloud's voice continues to fall out him at break neck speeds except now a thin layer of teasing rests onto top of it. He's been feel rather wonderful since he had his Makea Meloni and that lovely little drink in the last town over....

If his sluggish gait wasn't already a dead giveaway of his condition, the nasty scowl certainly was.

It was not often that his head genuinely felt like a drill had been inserted into his skull, a piercing pain screaming behind his temples as it threatened to scramble his mental state even further beyond the damage Chaos had already done. At least, that was how it felt. He sincerely hoped a raging headache wouldn't actually contribute to his memory issues.

That was... not how that worked. Or was it?

There was a sigh, blue meeting jade without the need to turn his head - his Other was doing the thing again. Even his cloak was seemingly defying gravity, floating in suspended animation a good half a meter off the ground.

The prince was speaking but the former general found it difficult to fully focus and properly comprehend his words. Something about food and water - he squinted for a moment, before a low groan welled up in his throat.

"Yeah."

An acknowledgement without much substance behind it - if there was anything truly uncharacteristic of the Black Wind, it was speaking without meaning behind his words. The pain dulled his senses and the hotness present throughout his body was a clear warning that the part-machine of a Hunter had pushed himself too far. If even the Magun was heating up spontaneously, he must have really overstepped his body's boundaries.

Oh, well.

White Cloud was still hovering over him like a mother hen - a silly spectacle, considering it was the Wind who normally took on the role of the guardian. The first two questions passed by with nothing but silence from the elder, before the man of the dark gales simply raised his hand and tapped at the side of his skull. A clear kind of code.

Hurts.

At the very least, he did eventually take the swordsman's suggestion, sitting down on a nearby rock. There was a borderline feverish confusion in ocean orbs, and the cause only seemed apparent to one of the two Unlimited.

What was an ocean without water, after all? It seemed the moon was here to bring in the life-giving tide.

Kaze blinked once, receiving the bottle without complaint. The playful sass accompanying White Cloud's actions went by without commentary - verbal or otherwise.

Only after he took a swig of the liquid did he realize just how parched he actually was. Saving up water because his Other needed a higher intake was one thing - actively neglecting his own needs was another. A series of long swallows followed, the Wind finally allowed to attend to his body's pleas. Seems he had somebody to thank for that - stubbornness was not necessarily a virtue, after all.

"...Appreciated." He rumbled, the look of pain in his gaze subsiding somewhat. "...I have been forgetting many things lately."

Oh. That sounded more ominous than he had intended. Still, was it not the truth?

He was forgetting to take care of himself. Just because his body could run longer on less did not mean it was as unbreakable as he would like it to be. And, if he was down, that would just mean he would not be alert and awake to protect White Cloud.

"Hrrmm." A frustrated growl, followed by a pinch to the bridge of his nose, as though the massaging motions could somehow do away with the pulsating ache and the dense fog that had overtaken his senses. It wasn't too long before the gunmage relented.

"Yes, let us rest for a while." Were he to keep walking, he might actually faint.

I feel like a terrible person, but i'm the only one left to take care of my gran's ancient Purugly. It's a sweet thing, and there's nothing wrong with it but i can't help but hate it because my mum and gran always showered it with attention and ignored me, among other things. I just can't help but hate it every time i see or hear it. And I hate myself more for resenting it, especially since it did nothing wrong. Maybe i really am just a terrible person. Would I be more terrible if I left it at a shelter and forgot it existed?

Trauma is not something you need to be ashamed of, nor should you force yourself to take care of something you 'resent' because of outside reasons. It's understandable. It doesn't make you a horrible person.

But this situation is... Complicated.

If the Pokemon is as old as you say, I doubt her days are long and I would rather not change her whole environment, routine, and familiar sights to not cause the old Pokemon any stress. But your trauma makes it hard for you to care for her properly.

Giving it up for adoption is not exactly a great idea, but if you go for a shelter that also collabs with foster parents, you can get make sure it goes to a home where it can spend her last days in peace, a farm that is willing to take it in or an elder Pokemon sanctuary where it can hang out with other Pokemon it's age with similar energy levels. Good for it's mental health.

Long story short? If you make sure to search carefully before giving it to a shelter you should be fine. Our shelter does all the stuff I mentioned above, so I would not be against taking it in ^^
