I don't really go here (don't have a computer or console to play the game on), but I got curious about this man after seeing him on my dash, and now I can't stop thinking about him. So here's some art I've made of him in-between scrambling to find gameplay videos featuring him and reading everything I can find about him online. (Feat what I imagine my builder would look like if I had the game. Her name is Frida and she's so far only wearing the basic clothes, bcs I'm not sure if I can properly figure out how she would dress unless I played the game. Also, I projected a little of my own trepidations with marriage on her, mostly because I imagine that even with Pen not wanting to be married it might hurt his ego a little for someone to be so happy that marriage with him isn’t on the table.) The text in the first panel in the comic is taken directly from the wiki, (apparently it’s his response when accepting a romantic confession?), but I apologise if he’s ooc in the rest of the comic, I'm still getting a feel for him.
(ID in alt and under cut!)
[ID:
A digital drawing of Pen from My time at Sandrock. It’s shows him shoulder up, from a profile view, a serious expression of his face. He’d shaded in a warm orange with light blue highlights. The background is a greyish green. In the lower right corner is a doodle of a person with long hair, grasping the air infront of them with a comically feral expression and text reading “I’m so normal about him” ending with a smiley face above her head. In the corner is aslo a signature reading “Cookieek”.
The second image is a digitally coloured sketch of Pen from My time at Sandrock. He’s vivible from the hips and up, and from a 3/4 perspective, standing against a gradient background, and smiling at something off screen. He has one hand on his hip and his cape is flowing beside him. He’s cast in warm orange light, with blue shadows. In the bottom of the picture is a signature reading “Cookieek”.
A comic in greyscale, featuring Pen and my builder Frida, a skinny woman with a round face, a scar on the left side of her chin, and light hair pulled up into a messy high ponytail. She’s dressed in the default builder outfit.
The first panel shows Pen looking down at Frida, smiling smugly with his hand under his chin, two stars around his head, and saying: “Very well! I promise you I will not only be the Protector of Sandrock, but the protector of you. Though you must know, I am in strong opposition to this strange concept called "marriage."”. Frida is looking up at him, her back to the viewer.
The second panel shows Frida beaming up at Pen who’s now the one with his back towards the viewer, she’s giving him a thumbs up, while exclaiming: “Then we are on the same page!” with a smiley face at the end. Beside her head is a small “yay!” written above another smiley, but with an open mouth smile. Pen appears to almost freeze up.
The third panel shows Frida walking away from pen with a pep in her step, a big happy smile on her face alongside a blush. “Terrified of marriage” is written above her head, with an arrow pointing to her. Pen is still standing in the same pose as before, but with a baffled expression on his face, and question marks around his head.
The fourth panel focuses in on Pens face, as he lowers his hand, appearing now to be both confused and slightly miffed, question marks still around his head.
The final panel show Pen spanning into another confident pose, looking to the side with his fingers grazing his forehead, sparkles around his head. He smiles, and says “Ha! Poor Skinny! So upset, but trying to have good humor about it! I can see through it easily! But good play, good play.” He’s sweating slightly.
In the right lower corner is a signature reading “Cookieek”.

Everything that Heath has ever done in all of the G1, including webisodes, movies, videogames and comics
This is a VERY long post, a 20 page long document, containing 9400 words of information, kinda like a masterpost but it doesnt have links to other posts
also this can and probably is weirdly writen, english is my second lenguage (Spanish version here)
(Blinkie taken from here)
Tumblr media
Heath Burns
The document (Because i am insane)
Wiki and extra facts
Heath Burns is a 2010-introduced and all-around character. Being a young fire elemental, Heath still is in the process of learning to control his powers and he suffers no less for it than his environment. Fear, excitement, or just a moment of absentmindedness is enough to pass his flames on to where he no longer controls them. It does not help that Heath himself is impulsive and impatient and has limited regard for others' wellbeing, meaning that his fire isn't even required for him to be the cause of chaos. Students and teachers alike are on guard if Heath is involved, which is necessary, but nonetheless hurts him because it means any effort to grow out of his habits is met with demoralizing skepticism. Heath likes to think of himself as the "guys want to be me, girls want to date me"-type, neither of which he actually is.
Age: 15 years olds
The following things are wrote in first person as if Heath had written it
Freaky Flaw: I have a slight self-control issue, causing me to accidentally burst into flames at the worst possible times. My dad also says that my attention span is so short that, Hey! What was that?
Favorite Activity: I love playing video games because I always get to be the hero, and if I make a mistake, I can hit the reset button.
Favorite subject: Physical Deaducation. I can show my crazy athletic skills in front of the ghouls. But in another bit of info he says that his favourite subject is Music, since he’s an “avid guitar player” (He isn’t)
Least Favorite Subject: Mad Science. It's not that I don't like the subject, but there are many distractions in the classroom. But he also says that “Any class when I don’t get to sit next to a scary-cute ghoul” in another bit of info
Favorite color: Red and Yellow
Best Friends: Clawd Wolf & Deuce Gorgon
Extra-scare-icular activities: Track team
He also considers as friends, and therefore spends time with them: Manny Taur, Slo Mo, Gil Webber, Hoodude Voodoo and Kjersti Trollson (online).
Despite the fact that Heath is a pain magnet and Hoodude(15) is the same, except that he transmits pain to other people close to him, Hoodude and Heath get together from time to time and get along well.
Kjersti Trollson(14), met Heath online, through the internet and through video games, and the two have been close ever since, despite Heath's surprise to discover that she was a girl, which is a delicate matter for Kjersti. Despite this, he respects his loudmouth personality and recognizes him as a skilled player. She considers him one of her best friends during her time at Monster High.
Slo Mo (17) doesn't seem to have much of a problem with Heath's antics
Manny (16) had no friends during his bully days, but today he considers Heath his best friend.
Deuce (16): Best Friends (below is when they first met, written from Heath's perspective)
Buddies for Life
Mom’s always telling me to clean up the mess in my room, and I always answer that there’s a place for everything, and everything’s in its place. She says it’s only true when the said place is the floor. While tidying up, I found an old picture of summer camp. I don’t remember these holidays being exactly fun until Deuce came along. I guess it’s because I only ran into trouble. It was harder back then than it is today to control my flames. I don’t if it was being expelled from archery practice for setting the arrows on fire (I still shot the target with them) or maybe because I set the rope on fire while practicing knots, but I manage to scare away the instructors as well as the other campers from day one. I was wondering what to expect from the rest of my stay. That’s when the new guy walked into the cabin. He had snakes instead of hair and weird sunglasses attached to his head, so they didn’t fall off. He said, “Hey dude! Wanna give me a tour?”. From that moment on, Deuce and I became best buds. I did run into more trouble after that, but Deuce was still there once the smoke cleared out.
Tumblr media
Jackson (16) doesn't have him as a friend, neither does Holt, just as a family member (I mean, Heath doesn't have them as friends either, but come on man)
Clawd (17) says that he doesn't have best friends directly, but he does mention that he usually spends more time with Heath because of different sports activities since they're both on most of the school teams
In the Monster High books, Heath is not related to the Jekylls/Hydes at all; however he does have an older sister, Harmony Burns.
In 2020, it was confirmed that Heath may be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community as Garrett on his Instagram account stated that he likes/flirts with anyone (HE’S PAN I SWEAR TO GOD) (I am projecting there)
Heath usually prefers to dress in a way that isn't too showy, thinking he might envy the other boys and students at Monster High, but he still likes to look cool (Even if that means using the same outfit in the entire series lmao)
“Attention Chaperones!
Thank you for volunteering your Valentine's Day to watch over our student body ball. While our students are known for displaying exemplary behavior, select monsters should be given an extra caring eye to prevent any mischief.
Watch List
Heath Burns – known for heating up. Chaperones will be issued a fire extinguisher in the form of a corsage to help douse any situations that flame up.”
During a recent Creative Conjuring Class, we were challenged with writing a personal essay exploring inner thoughts of self. Heads turned towards me instantly. No one thinks I can be serious; Ghouls laugh at me when I try and ask them out; teachers always blame me for pranks. Well, the truth is I am a very serious monster, with a lot of deep feelings. To set the record straight, so to speak, I decided to publish my essay (which got an A by the way). Breathe fire all you want, because I'm proud of who I am.
WHO AM I? The Monster Inside.
By Heath Burns
It's hard out there for a mildly funny prankster. Most monsters deal with the same questions of self – who am I? What do I want in un-life? Even some of my closest monsters wonder who I am, and to be honest, many times so do I. It leads me to ask, can one ever truly know the real monster inside? Or is un-life just a continuous hunt to find purpose to feed the soul? I know that one thing that truly feeds me is my passion for fun, but no one seems to get the humor in my punch lines. The hardest part is being tormented by the feeling that no monster will ever truly understand me.
Most times, I just feel completely misunderstood. On the outside, I'm Heath Burns – class clown and UHHHn-defeated prankster! It's an external personae – everyone has one. Don't get me wrong, I love to laugh and practical jokes really are my forte, but occasionally a monster just wants to mellow out and have a serious convo with the pretty ghoul from Biteology class. Unfortunately, most monsters don't let me express my sensitive side, because they expect a joke at every turn. Since I’m a pro, I always give my audience what they expect – but sometimes it can be a total buzz kill.
That being said, the Heath Burns lifestyle is one awesome ride! I am who I am, and that's all I want or need to be. Monsters may think they have my personality pegged, but they're dead wrong. I am strong, unique and totally the beast guy to have around when you’re in need of a gut busting laugh. But I'm also caring and creative – so don't forget you should never judge a clown by his worst joke.
I am myself, I am unique and I am a freakishly awesome monster!
Abbey and Heath to Slice Out the Competition
December 03, 2012
Winter sports season is finally in full swing now that the Monster X-Games championship is set to take place in less than a month's time. With student bodies Abbey Bominable and Heath Burns preparing to freeze out their opposition as a fierce duo this year, the competition is bound to heat up quickly.
Given Abbey's fervor for snowboarding, we imagine we'll see some wickedly good tricks on the monster pipe while Heath is expected to melt the ice during the Beast Trick round. Rumors are also spreading about a synchronized ski competition for the pair. How did the two get wrangled into sharing the competition? Gil says Heath practically burst into flames at the chance to spend a little one-on-one time with Abbey.
No matter what the reason for their matchup, monsters everywhere are screaming in excitement over the possibilities. These super athletes are sure to put on a creeperific show this winter.
Heath Burns: I have a burning crush on the coolest ghoul in school, but I'm not sure she knows I'm alive. I don't want to declare my love if she doesn't feel the same way. How can I get her to notice me?
C.A. Cupid: Love is worth the risk. You must tell her how you feel. Even if her initial response is icy, your re-hot feeling may melt her heart
Series/Webisodes
Volume 1           
This would be the first time we see him (I think his actual presentation would be New Ghoual @ School, the first movie). He´s shown talking to background characters mostly, first year in high school maybe? Or second year of highchool but he just moved to Monster High, I say this because Draculaura calls him “new guy”.
He’s trying to give a good impression, but in a “hey guys I’m cool” way
He´s immature, at least compared to the other manster, he´s a year younger than the rest
He´s shown trying to flirt with Frankie one time (This does not work for him btw)
Draculaura flirts with him first, I would guess they have a date that went really wrong off camera, because in later episodes Draculaura is shown to really dislike him lol
He has a really big ego when it comes to sports, like, he truly believes he´s the best in them (I like to think that this because they´re one of the only things he´s always been good at, compared to his other classes). He even says that some sports shouldn’t be for girls (BY THE WAY, WHAT THE FUCK WITH THAT?? LIKE??? HUH??? THIS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY SUBJECT HE ACTS LIKE THIS)
Tumblr media
Volume 2
He really wants to go with Draculaura to that prom, dance?? (I don’t know what’s it’s called honestly), but Draculaura doesn´t want to go with him. If you think about it, this may be because she was the only person who first approached him in a good way; so maybe Heath thought Draculaura wouldn't turn him down. The way he insists her isn't cool tho, and it takes calling Clawd to threaten him so he stops.
He isn´t angry with Clawd afterwards tho, Heath actually doesn´t appear in the “prom” later in the episode, so he really didn´t have anyone else to go with
He´s good friends with Gil! He helps him get the courage to tell his parents what he has with Lagoona.
He doesn't have the best relationship with Jackson?, he doesn't treat him badly in front of him, and he even is shown to repeatedly spend time with him, but it's quite clear that for some reason he doesn't want Jackson to be in Monster High (Heath only acts like this during this volume tho)
He’s included in the friend group of the ghouls, but I think this is mostly because he´s spends time with Deuce, Gil and Jackson, since the ghouls constantly don’t want to spend time with him
By the way, this is important to me, but Heath has only been shown to be attracted to the physical appearance of people, and tends to act quickly on those feelings, trying to flirt with the background girls (They don’t like him tho). I like to think he’s in some part of the aromantic spectrum because of this (Demiro maybe?)
Tumblr media
Volume 3
He’s shown spending waaaayy more time with Manny ( :/ )
The times he's rude with others it’s really because he's like really honest. This guy does not realize that what he is saying is rude to others and may hurt them
He flirts with Abbey like a lot, and Abbey is shown to at least find him funny
Saying this again, but every time he develops a short crush with a girl its purely a physical attraction and not a romantic one, I think the fisrt time he actually wants to be in a more serious thing is whith Abbey, but he also takes  a lot of time to even realize this
All of his friends would blame him for any type of fire related accident, like they wouldn’t even think about it
He really helps Frankie in that New Year episode where she stops time, like totally platonic, friend helping another friend thing
HE’S A GAMER, I KNOW THIS IS SAID BEFORE IN THE WIKI PART, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS IS SHOWN IN THE SERIES
He really cares about his friends lives (yes, I am talking about the ghouls in this), and he tries to warn them thay they could be in danger, but literally nobody takes him seriously
He’s scared by Jhonny Spirit lol
Talking about Hoodude he’s shown to be rude with him in a singular episode, but I suppose he apologized afterwards. Since later in the volume they’re shown to be on good terms and Heath does not get angry with him if he accidentally hurts him
HE’S SCARED OF AN OLD TYPREWRITER???? I DON’T KNOW (Yes this was funny enough for me to type it)
Tumblr media
Volume 4
He’s shown way less
He’s a fan of Catty Noir lol
He tends to get lunch with Hoodude x)
He’s in more sports than before, Maybe he just signs up for every sport in the school (except swimming)
He spends more time with Manny :(
He helps or is in the art club as a model!
Tumblr media
Volume 5
He almost never appears in this volume
He’s speaking with Manny in the interchange episode and he doesn’t appear much during that arc, so I guess went to Greece with Manny?? Completely guessing here
He wants to be a vampire in the Casta Frierce episode lol
When he goes to that party he doesn’t go with a formal outfit or anything, he just shows up with his normal everyday outfit, this thing he does it in almost every single party episode btw. He’s shown dancing with Jinafire btw!
Tumblr media
Volume 6
He appears three times literally
In the arc of the circus thingy, he appears in the background with a different t-shirt and cooking some sausages with a stick, he literally doesn’t do anything more
And the other time he appears it’s when he some books fall on top of him when he’s searching for something in his locker
Tumblr media
Extra episodes
He’s actually cheering on the casketball team instead of playing with them
And he went to the beach, he’s shown to spend time with Hoodude talking together, and he also plays with Clawd a bit.
Tumblr media
Movies
New Ghoul at School
Appears using his cellphone in the background
HE TRIES TO FLIRT WITH FRANKIE AS HIS FIRST INTERACTION???
When Deuce tells him to stop he ignores him and keeps trying to flirt with Frankie
Deuce Stones him for not stopping and he takes his statue with him as he leaves
And the end he appears dancing with Draculaura
Tumblr media
Fright On:
He's at the mall with this half-goat guy, those from Greek mythology, I think they’re called satyr?? Faun Boy??? Whatever
He likes Iris and Scarah for their appearances
He sits beside Jackson in one scene, I think he waves hello to Manny
He doesn´t like the science class, maybe because it’s more of a wait around class than anything, He invoked a small version of a Cthulhu thingy
He tried to flirt with two different vampire girls
THEY SHOWED HIM INSIDE A WATER TANK? DUDE? AS A GAME FOR THE PARTY??
He was looking at the fight between the werewolves and vampires, HE FAINTED???
At the end he tries to flirt with Gory, but a zombie ends up splashing him with water
Tumblr media
Why do ghouls fall in love?:
They invited him to Draculaura's birthday, he was dancing with these vampires from the previous movie (it's a dream from Draculaura btw)
Trying to pay attention to Mr. Rotter's class as far as it seems (he's struggling with the book)
Ok this doesn't make sense, but Ghoulia's computer bug makes her "perfect match" appear as Heath
HE IS SO HAPPY THAT GHOULIA IS SUPPOSEDLY HIS PERFECT MATCH; he goes and tells some friends at lunch, Gil and Lagoona tell him not to be crazy and to take the date more calmly and Heath tells them "but I'm her perfect partner, right? I should act like always". Deuce seems interested in seeing how Heath treats this situation, but more in a way of waiting for Heath to fuck up
He accidentally burned a book while trying to flirt Ghoulia :(
He went to look for Ghoulia to hang out with her I guess (inconvenient at the moment but it's not his fault)
Heath made a song for her :3
Heath listens to the radio show of Cupid thing but it’s because they are throwing more “hard” tips because Abbey is the one who is talking. He was in the library with Ghoulia to accompany her, he accidentally burned a book again for wanting to give it to Ghoulia
Ghoulia wasn't very happy with the things they tried so she wants to tell him to stop this thing they were doing later
Heath ends their thingy with Ghoulia first, seeing that a serious relationship is not for him (and that it wasn't working out), but he still asks Ghoulia if she doesn't get mad about this or anything, because she still worries about their friendship. Ghoulia tells him that there is no problem, Heath then goes to go with flirt again with the girls
Tumblr media
Escape from skull shores:
He’s back in those water tanks from attraction parks
Why is he so egocentric in this?? He just told this skeleton guy to use the muscles when he clearly doesn't have them (mocking him) and telling Howleen that girls can't throw? What the hell? He didn’t act like since Volume 1
He deserved that Howleen threw him inside the water, but why the hell did the water had piranhas inside of it????
Heath laughs at the destruction of public space (arson win) lol
Heath runs off to recess along with Manny
He is afraid of the circus performer
He’s standing there watching each other kill each other on the roof lol
I think he was talking to operetta??? On the island at the end
Tumblr media
Friday Night Frights
He's on the skating team
previous season of the sport as of now
Substitute for the team along with Manny, calls the gargoyles fools
Makes fun of the other team as he skates too
They lost the thing? I don’t remember right now. Manny almost kills him because he pushes him. Heath is really sad about their team losing. He's disappointed when Clawd says he's canceling the next season of the sport
He’s watching at that thing to see who could make the new players for the team
He doesn't pay much attention when a werewolf says that a girl shouldn't be teaching guys about the sport, but he does laugh at another's guy joke about the same thing
Surprised by Lagoona's abilities!
He doesn't say anything to Lagoona when she says he wants to join the team, but he seems confused. When Frankie asks why Manny doesn't want to play with girls, Heath replies "because it's a man's sport, it's sacred! It's tradition."
Manny says that they are not going to make the team then, Heath goes along with the idea, and he says "well see ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!" And then if  tells them good luck putting together a team without men
He went to see (along with Clawd and Manny) the first tournament of the season, obviously to make fun of the ghouls; he’s carrying a camera to record them lol
He laughs at the Ghouls the next day (along with literally all the other guys)
Do I have to keep saying that he continues to make fun of the girls along with Manny? He’s still carrying the camera by the way. Operetta tells them to like, get lost or something
He went to watch the games together with Manny, obviously to record when the girls lost, but when he sees that the girls are using other strategies and are going ahead pf the other team, he is surprised and applauds them (puts the camera down)
He doesn’t appear in the next game
In the next game he’s cheering them on with the rest of the school
Heath and Manny apologize to the girls, admitting they were jerks
He’s was talking to Rochelle about the matches I guess :3
Next game/final game he’s on the cheer squad to cheer them on :3 (He accidentally burns the pompom)
He was about to kill the gargoyles for/because of the shield (I don’t remember what this refers to)
He was going to record them when they were celebrating, Manny then pushes him and Heath ends up crashing into Clawd
Passage of time to the next season of the sport this (aka the time when the movie starts)
He’s playing in the team again <3
Tumblr media
Ghouls rule:
He fell asleep in the movie that they’re playing in class for Halloween :3
He said he failed history once, saying it was because he accidentally burned the book and couldn't study. When he says this he accidentally burns his book, Abbey puts out the burned book before anything else catches fire (for some reason everyone laughs at him?)
He was going to laugh at the pumpkins set as a threat, inadvertently activating the trap. Abbey shields him from being hurt and Heath thanks her.
They make fun of him (Manny and the rest of random guys) because Abbey saved him??? He gets really sad about this. Especially because the first one who laughs at him is Manny
In the Ms. Bloodgood room he sits next to Frankie, separated from Manny
He seems happy or interested with the meeting for Halloween that Cleo organizes
He tries to help Abbey not to drop a book on her head, it goes wrong and he ends up colliding with the locker, the book falls on his head and he sets it on fire. ABBEY AND LAGGONA DON'T EVEN ASK HIM IF IHE’S OKAY?? UH????? I GUESS??????
He takes some time to even recognize the secret greeting for the thing that Cleo is organizing, frustrating (I think) Clawd and ending up saying out loud what the greeting was for. He ends up crashing into another locker
He’s really interested in like, pulling a prank on the humans
He looks confused/concerned at Jackson when he shows up
Follow the rest with the idea that Holt should go instead of Jackson :(
He's super interested in pulling this prank on the humans (repeating myself here), He’s even carrying one rotten egg for the prank, I think he's the only one who took something like that? I have to say that he's probably good with basketball tricks because he does those kinds of tricks with this egg and he does it really well.
Manny gets mad at him for this?
Clawd tells him to be careful and Heath looks at him somewhat disappointed, telling him to have some confidence in him.
Holt bumps into him and makes Heath drop the egg, he tries to catch it but trips over a stone and can’t, he gets really sad about this
CLAWD TELLS HIM "I TOLD YOU SO" YOU SON OF A BITCH IT WASN'T HIS FAULT (Sorry I got angry in here)
Holt flashes a flashlight into Heath eyes/face to get him to hurry up
Disappointed that someone already did a graffiti in the human school before them, but says it's a much better job than what they were going to do
He runs fast! (Although it is obvious, in the series he was part of the track team)
He hides with Manny in a place of dishes/pots, when he sees that they weren't caught he gets excited and sets himself on fire, I think it's Manny who ends up breaking the place because Heath doesn't move from where he was sitting
Confused when he joins the rest to see that they are accusing Holt
He does not put up much resistance for this human party idea, he seems surprised actually
He wants to dance with Abbey at the party but he couldn’t.
He doesn't even want to be close to that blonde girl, he makes a scared face when she talks to him
When eating a spicy food (Abbey stops him before, telling him that they are too spicy, but he eats it anyway, saying that he was going to resist) he doesn't resist?? I guess?? For comedy factor?? He sets himself on fire, revealing that he is indeed a monster and inadvertently so are his friends. Abbey tries to put it out but Heath keeps running until he can put out the fire with a bucket of water.
Seems ready to fight with the humans when discovered
He tries to "protect" Abbey when they have to escape from the police, but while running he slips on a puddle and Abbey ends up helping him
He’s biting his nails when the Ms. Bloodgood is scolding them, maybe he does it when he is nervous?
He’s laying on the desk during detention until Frankie talks. He replies that he thinks it's cool that Holt had done the graffiti.
Has a “the fuck” face as he listens to Cleo complaining
I think he was talking to Toralei?
I think he's saying "awesome" when Cleo lies about Holt pulling those pranks
Tells Cleo the she should tell Holt everyone has his back
Tries to get Abbey out of detention, obviously doesn't do anything of what he says when the professor swings a dagger at his face, saying he has to go (Abbey seeing this says that Heath is "obviously" not part of the plan)
I'm saying it now, but Heath has no reaction when Holt takes the punishment of being killed. WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE HE'S HIS FUCKING COUSIN MAYBE HE SHOULD REACT??? LIKE DUDE
Help with the plan to get the humans into the hall, to get their attention he taunts them and makes sure he's set on fire to light the way for the humans; I think he laughs nervously
He's really happy about the things that Abbey can do. When he sees that the ice statue is going to fall on top of him, he throws a ball of fire at it to melt it (I think it's one of the few times he does something like that?) He ends up going out dancing with Abbey thanks to this
After dancing with Abbey help the bullies (those blonde guys that look like jocks) to roast some marshmallows in his heads, I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT HE'S SITTING IN A BABYGIRL  POSE OK I DON'T KNOW (gay?!¡?????!?!!!)
He’s good at sliding down rails?? With only his feet?? Cool??
Tumblr media
Scaris City of frights:
Had a turn at the fashion show that Clawdeen organized at school, He’s so excited to participate (along with Deuce and Clawd)
Toralei's (fucking asshole) wants to humiliate Clawdeen (and Heath) changing the outfit he had to wear for the show
He is quite nervous about going out with the dress, he still does what he can (as he himself says) to wear it
Heath helps Ghoulia carry her scooter, which he has a hard time carrying, but manages in the end. Clawd and Deuce laugh at him for this??
He is so happy to be able to spend time with Deuce and Clawd! He literally says that "there is no better fun than with friends" and wants to high-five Deuce and Clawd, they look at him confused/disgusted and leave him standing there. Heath is confused as to why they left him hanging/ignored.
Heath tells Clawd that well, Draculaura is in the city of love, and in his case he would be jealous (Heath is always this very sincere without really wanting to hurt his friends feelings) he asks for a high five back to Clawd, and Deuce freeze him for this (Since Clawd gets sad and Heath doesn’t notices)
He’s so glad that for once he’s told that he was right about something. He literally tells Clawd not to worry, that it's not going to happen like last time (Valentine) and that Draculaura wouldn't left him for another dude.
He doesn't seem very convinced that Clawd is going to ask Cupid for help.
Clawd just says thanks to Deuce for going with him to Scaris. He then SARCASTICALLY says thanks to Heath for coming, literally telling him afterwards "I didn't want you to come though" (I think at least that what he says in Spanish)
Heath tells him that he wouldn't miss an opportunity to skip school. I KNOW HE’S IGNORING THE OTHER COMMENT I KNOW; that or he doesn’t understand sarcasm?
He was almost killed by a gargoyle on the airplane
Says "I miss girls who speak my language" when he arrives in Scaris lmao (in difference as Deuce and Clawd say that their miss Cleo and Draculaura)
I think he stopped for a second to see the mural that Ghoulia was doing
Doesn't stop Clawd from talking to a mime lmao
Gives money to Ghoulia's monkey!!!
He’s tired of looking for the ghouls; He does not seem very convinced to go to the catacombs to look for them as indicated by Clawd
Heath is lighting up the way for the boys to go through the catacombs
He's not like, very happy to see/find the girls compared to Clawd and Deuce
He kicks down a door!! He took it out from melting the sides from where it is connected to the wall; and did this only using one finger like a blowtorch!!
Clawdeen slams the door on him AND DOES NOT APOLOGIZE
He doesn't even complain about being squashed with the door :(
He asks sadly if anyone missed him, no one answers him, except Abbey with a "maybe me, very little" AND HEATH GETS TOO HAPPY ABOUT THIS; respects Abbey when she tells him not to push
HE FIXED ROCHELLE'S CAR BY THE WAY I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING BUT HE FIXED A FUCKING CAR. He's really proud of this by the way
I don't know why but when he goes with Abbey on a scooter he cannot accommodate/sit well on it
TRALEI DID THE SAME THING AGAIN, TO HUMILLIATE HIM IN FRONT OF THW CROWD AND UUUAHUDSF
KING, KING SLAY, COME ON HEATH GOD I LOVE YOU, KNOW IT IS HARD FOR YOU TO WEAR MORE FEMININE CLOTHES BUT YOU DID IT KING. By the way, he accidentally falls at the end of the catwalk.
He is so proud I adore him
He tells Clawdeen that the speech she made was beautiful, and asks for a high-five, Clawdeen is the only one who returns it, when he does, he says "about time! :D"
He falls off the catwalk again and they laugh at him
In the photos he accidentally burns a bird lol
Uh that weird end part of the movie
He says that girls do magic to fit all the clothes they wear in their baggage
He was talking to Deuce when Frankie gives him a bag. He says "I don't want to be seen carrying this girly bag like this" Which ok doesn't make sense because he says this after walking a fashion runway in a skirt??
He wants to flirt with Jinafire??
In Heath's defense, he didn't know the book was alive.
He asks Deuce if Jinafire is interested in him and Deuce literally replies that "you're imagining things" and he's goes to flirt with her anyway
HE WAS RUN OVER BY ELEPHANTS???
In the hot air balloons, he accidentally burns the rope for trying to flirt with Jinafire
He is not used to cold places and is shown to be almost freezing, unlike dragons like Jinafire he is capable of generating fire at any altitude/temperature
He says "that's amazing" when the book goes away again lmao
He is the only one helping to move the car
He’s also not good in desert places? He’s itchy
Help Ghoulia flee in Transylvania
Is he the only one paddling????? In the middle of the ocean?? They were eaten by a sea serpent
He has a confused face with what Jinafire says about the book.
(I just realized that he is wearing flip flops lmao)
THE BOOK THROWS ITSELF INTO HIM AND I THINK PUSHES HIM?
He accidentally set the balloon on fire but it worked anyway
HE HAS A CONCERNED FACE WHEN CLAWDEEN TALKS TO THE BOOK LMAO
Tumblr media
13 wishes:
He wants to participate in "Die Trying" along with Clawd and Manny; Right now he's recording what Clawd was doing. The camera breaks because water fell on it but it's not his fault
The next time he accidentally burns the camera because he got excited
Seems confused that he's being put on the show because of Howleen's wish but doesn't complain or anything
He presents himself as flirtatious in the show
Happy/excited to be able to participate!
The next time you see him, he's already half worried about the feat they have to do, but he's still happy
He's the first to notice and tell Manny and Clawd that he's tired of the show (he seems nervous that they'll call him a coward for this but they don't).
He doesn't even want to participate anymore but he is obliged by the one host of the show
He gets to the point of hiding in garbage cans so he doesn't have to participate, saying it's humiliating; although he says "no, I swear I'm not afraid of the contest" although he is literally hiding so as not to participate, just like Manny and Clawd
Deuce asks them what the hell they are doing in the garbage cans, when he answers Deuce he ends up being found by the host of the show
In the next feat he doesn't even want to be there anymore, half-jokingly says that "we could do it with our hands tied behind our backs" to encourage Clawd and Manny but the host takes this as recommendation and does exactly that to them
The next time he is seen, he looks like shit, with a broken or sprained foot and using a medical crutch and a bruised right eye. He slips on garbage, catches fire and accidentally throws Manny and Clawd on top of him, with this he says "I should be used to this by now".
He looks surprised and confused at the host of the show, I repeat again that he doesn't want to participate anymore; Manny helps him get up btw
The next time he is seen is in the last feat, they were going to be the first to complete it until Howleen refunds (?) the wish. He was excited to be the first to win (this time they are seen they’re no longer hurt)
When they fall they end up in Monster High again, since they were shown to be almost in the middle of the ocean or something similar
He’s seen again at the party
Spectra asks them how the show went and like little assholes they lie that it wasn't a problem, Heath specifically says that "I fell asleep for most of it". Although when they see the light that illuminated them throughout the competition, they hide again
Tumblr media
Frights camera action:
He went to the movies with Hoodude (and Jackson I think)
He likes the protagonist of the movie hehe. When Draculaura stops to complain about the movie, Heath tells her to sit down because it's blocking his view.
Jackson gets worried when Heath sets himself on fire for saying he likes the star of the movie lmao
He doesn't seem very interested in hearing Draculaura tell the story of vampire royalty and is currently leading the way along with Clawd and Gil
When Hoodude falls it hurts Heath, this is interesting because it indicates that Hoodude must have something from Heath (I discard the idea that it was because he was closer to him, since the girls were closer to Hoodude). Heath doesn't get mad at him anyway
The next time he appears he is waving goodbye to Draculaura from the balcony along with the rest of her friends who didn't go with her
I guess when Hoodude leaves he returns what he had from Heath; or before it directly hurt only Heath for comedy factor
He's at the opening of the second movie (In universe)!! I think he was supposed to go and see it with Abbey (he's mad that Abbey sat with an actor)
Tumblr media
Freaky fusion:
He appears the first time at minute 53 how do you feel about that huh
He’s watching this uh theatre show, greets Frankie happily
btw his hair is on fire during the whole scene
He gets scared when this monster of Victor appears alongside the rest
HES FLABBERGHASTED??? HE THOUGHT THE MONSTER WAS PART OF THE SHOW, I???
Just when something gets thrown at his head is that he runs away and his hair burns off
He’s the first one to think "save frankie??". then he does say "lets save frankie"
in the last theathre show his fair is on fire again and he is very happy at the history/performance and :3
Tumblr media
Haunted:
He went to see the swimming team, apparently he says something to Clawd while they cheer
He celebrates much less than the rest of the group/school
He appears way more excited to cheer on Lagoona
When the opponent's team fails, he celebrate
He’s one of the calmest if nothing is happening
Is he sitting next to Hoodude?
He sat down next to Clawd again, he seems bored
He has Spectra blog notifications turned on
He asks Clawd if the rumor/thing it's true and goes away with Deuce before hearing an answer
He is talking to Manny and Deuce the next time he appears
He almost falls asleep on the stairs with Manny and Deuce, Manny kicks him to get him to listen to him
He kept a 😦 face when he saw the ghostly boat
He disappears I don’t know bro, runned too fast or something
He’s dancing  at the end :33
Tumblr media
Boo York Boo York:
He likes Catty Noir as an artist! When he hears that she is going to compose another song he tells her that it’s going to be great
HE’S DANCING WITH JINAFIRE IN CATTY'S MONTAGE??????????
He’s  in the background talking to Manny
Somehow he found Ghoulia's lab in the catacombs?? Along with Manny
Think that what Ghoulia is doing is a video game, he is playing with whatever progam Ghoulia was using
He is afraid that Professor Rotter will punish him for playing videogames but he doesn't and he ends up giving him a high five lmao
When Ghoulia needs the big screen Heath doesn't interrupt her or anything, he seems worried until Ghoulia plays the piano, where he starts to dance a little bit
When the meteorite is about to fall, he has a confused and worried face
Celebrates because Ghoulia made it
HE’S DANCING AT THE END
HE’S DANCING ABOVE A TABLE WITH CLAWD AND MANNY???? Supporting Astranova (this is at the very end)
Great scarrier reef:
HE’S PLAYING CASKETBALL WITH DEUCE :3
He looks worried at Lagoona :(
He was talking to Slo Mo and a mantis kid when Lagoona takes the phone from him, says "hey wait!" When she takes it and Heath then seems to complain
He's dancing with Clawd hehe
HE’S CHASING CLAWD??? I think they were playing something with throwing the stick?? Since Clawd was running with a stick in his mouth
Then he was talking to Clawd while they were eating the cupcakes.
HE SEEMS HAPPY WHEN LAGOONA SAYS HE DISINVITED TORALEI, he is literally the only one happy in this lmaooo
Eating the cupcakes with Clawd when Toralei and Lagoona start fighting, he seems excited at the idea of ​​them fighting with each other.
He got more worried because he dropped a cupcake lol
Helps so they don't all fall into the whirlwind, surely he did it desperate since he's lying grabbing Abbey's legs
He has a 😥 face when the girls fall into the whirlwind
He’s having lunch with Clawd when the Kraken comes to school, he had already finished lunch. He’s confused when he sees the Kraken
Has no problem fighting someone when the ghouls ask him to
Says "she doesn't look so tough haha" when Cala appears,  but he gets scared when he sees the Kraken and runs
Helps or wants to help in the plan
Does not appear after??? I don't know what he was supposed to do????
HES SLIDIN’ DOWN ONE OF THE KRAKEN ARMS AT THE POOL PARTY
He’s dancing later hehe
Tumblr media
Lost Movie
Apparently the first time he would appear he would be talking to Clawd and Deuce
Tumblr media
Comics
Hopes and Screams
the first thing that appears about him is "Heath is a good-hearted boy, but he is very clumsy and irresponsible, and always tends to cause chaos when things get a little heated"
He’s helping/supporting Clawdeen with her trendy monster segment at Monster High :3
How can I explain that he only wanted to dress fashionable to impress Abbey, BY THE WAY WHEN ABBEY APPEARS, HE GETS EXCITED AND STARTS BURNING THE POSTER BY ACCIDENT, but just a little bit
Funnily enough, these comics is the only time Heath wears another outfit outside of the circus and beach episodes and the happy 2014 one I think, he's always in his school jacket
BTW, he asks Howleen for help with the outfits so Clawdeen puts him on the blog!
This comic makes me angry against Clawdeen by the way, like she tells him he ia a “fashion disaster” AND THAT’S NOT TRUE HE LOOKS GOOD (that or I don’t have a fashion sense at all) AND HEATH REACTS LIKE IN A “:(“ WAY. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THAT HE TRIED 4 MORE TIMES WITH DIFFERENT OUTFITS EACH TIME
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I don't want to have this kind of rejection Howleen!” AUAUUAGHHHHHH By the way he's having some soda I guess with Howleeen at I guess where Clawdeeen leaves the clothes
HE DOESN’T LIKE THAT OTHER PEOPLE KNOW THAT HE LIKES ABBEY LIKE NOT IN A ANGRY WAY BUT IN A AWKNARD WAY
IN FACT, IT GIVES HIM SO MUCH SHAME THAT HE CATCHES ON FIRE,
On top of that, obviously, later he's upset because what they were drinking I don't know what the hell it is but it was something thick and green and everything stuck to him and his clothes
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT HOWLEEN LOCKS HIM IN A LOCKER SO THEY CAN'T SEE HIM AND HEATH HAS TO YELL AT HER THAT HE'S CLAUTROPHOBIC AND SHE LEAVES HIM THERE AND he IS OBVIOUSLY ANGRY
"You and Heath should stay away from fashion for a while!" SHUT UP CLAWDEEN SHUT UP I BEG YOU
ABOVE THAT WHEN HEATH LEAVES THE LOCKER HE IS SO WORRIED
OVER LITERALLY EVERYTHING I JUST SAID, HE JUST DID ALL OF THIS TO IMPRESS ABBEY AND WHEN HE COMES OUT AND GOES TO TALK TO HER HE IS LIKE “hehe do you like my outfit?” AND ABBEY IS JUST LIKE "Heath, you're wearing the same thing as everyone else" AND LITERALLY HE’S JUST LIKE "UH??? EH??? WHAT"
At the end Clawdeen actually gives him a spot on the fashion blog
In the end he goes out with Abbey
Also appears in “These Boots were made for Rolling”, the story centered on Robecca
Why the fuck the skating team don't wear a uniform, how the hell do people know they're on the same team, dude???
He is surprised with the skates that the zombies have, saying "I can't believe I'm actually jealous of zombie's moves!"
Says that in general the school team should buy new skates because the ones they have are falling apart.
He goes “:0 :(“ when the zombies are so fast that they beat them before they even leave the starting line lol
They have a fair to earn money to buy the skates, and Heath asks Draculaura if she didn't make any of the food, and Draculaura replies “you put a spell on someone once and they mark you for life!” DRACULAURA??? DID YOU PUT A SPELL ON HEATH OR ANOTHER RANDOM???
SAYS THE PHRASE “with our player’s HOT skills and these scary-cool new skates, we can’t lose!” As a mean of cheering on the team/Rochelle
Spoilers! The gargoyle passes them and automatically his reaction is to go to catch up with him.
Robecca hits him
He obviously helps carry Robecca off the track after they crash with Rochelle's help, he gives her a worried look when Robecca half-snaps out of his grip and leaves all frustrated.
Apparently what happens is that a part of Robecca's boots/legs/skates broke and to buy a replacement it cost A LOT, and Heath stays as “:0” when he sees how much it cost but more worried. When Clawd proposes to sell the new skates to pay for Robecca's replacement, Heath thinks it's a great idea.
He’s literally like this “:D” When Robecca gets really happy and auaughsi
I Only Have Eye For You 
In a Flashback it is shown that he went to the beach with Slo-Mo and Gil and they were playing Frisbee :3 (He accidentally hits Slo-Mo and apologizes) (End flashabsck)
Goes to greet Abbey and asks her what she is doing. he literally just wanted to spend some time with Abbey, he makes a joke and Abbey, who is busy, tells him that she doesn't have time right now (completely understandable) and Heaths stays like "wow, I don't understand women"
I swear that this kid has autism (Like me!)
I don't know how to explain it but, in the 3 panels between when Abbey leaves and Manny and Gil come to talk to him, he changes his mood three times, first he is “:(” because Abbey doesn't want to spend time with him, then he goes like “heeeyy guys how ya’ doin’” like super confident in himself, and then he's back :( when he notices the thingy is in his head
"It would be pathetic if I'm the only one that no girl asks him to the dance!" Spoiler, no one invited him yet, ​​followed by "No way, I'm a loser!" when Manny and Gil tell him they've already been invited
He REALLY wants Abbey to invite him or something, on top of that he says "The only thing that would make her invite me is if I were as cute as these things are" (My life noooo :( ) And with that he has the idea of ​​making himself cute as those thingies by changing his minds with one
The machine tickles lol. I hadn't noticed before, but as he transforms into this thing I guess he gets excited, because his eyes go blank like when he catches on fire
While Heath is literally transformed, he just wants to give hugs and kisses to his friends <3. HIS PUPILS ARE A HEART OH MY GOD
He kisses Manny and Gil on the forehead, who respond with "How humiliating!" and “Uuuhhhggg”
When he notices Abbey he goes to give a kissy too, but immediately stop when Abbey tells him to sit. Then they go to revert Heath back to normal
He gives Ghoulia a little kiss on the forehead when they are going to return him to normal <3
Automatically apologizes to Ghoulia, telling a joke when Ghoulia tells him that she should put up a security system.
When Ghoulia leaves, Heath asks Abbey how she knew it was him, and Abbey tells her that she knows how to recognize monsters by the kindness they have (auaughh <3)
Abbey ends up inviting him to the party!!
Later (or before???) when he is seen with Clawd, Heath is just accompanying him, Clawd asks him if he saw the tickets he just had and Heath tells him that "no idea, didn't pay attention to that" (he’s just like me…)
when Clawd doesn't have the reservation he had put, Clawd asks Heath if he's being pranked or something, and Heath quite defensively tells him "don't blame us (me) for the fact that you forgot  today"
When Clawd leaves angrily Heath says "Luckily his howl is stronger than his bite!" but I don't know if it's like a wish or if it's an affirmation
HE DID NOT EVEN PUT ON A SUIT, HE WENT WITH THE SAME SHIRT HE ALWAYS WEARS
when Valentine comes in and says what he's been doing (which was helping everyone but things went wrong for him) Heath is upset but not directly angry at him, I don't know, like, literally 2 panels later he's really happy so
“And I kissed everyone!” Yeah Heath, yeah
He is one of the first to support Valentine telling him that they will be his friends
I THINK, I THINK HEATH TELLS VALENTINE ABOUT "Rest assured that we are all enjoying this, everything worked out in the end" Since he is the last one he spoke to and it does not appear on the panel so
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Who Are The Fright-Mares?
I mean, technically he appears because he’s where Flara Blaze comes from, one of these centaurs combined with a random monster nightmare, that she just comes from Heath's nightmares, which I don't even know how to take because she is represented as super chaotic because she likes to be, saying that this is how she represents the element of fire, but Heath isn't chaotic because he likes to be, he is unintentionally chaotic. On top of that, Flara actively gives him bad dreams if it seems funny to her at the moment
Videogames
Monster High: Ghoul Spirit
Omg heath hi, he is standing next to a locker
Clawdeen asks you to meet Heath (the kid has been standing in the middle of the hall for about an hour) saying that he has a plan to distract Mr.Where
Apparently they also ask you to get Clawd's cell number from Heath lol
Obviously he flirts with you when you ask him for the phone number
HIS PLAN IS TO LIGHT SOMETHING ON FIRE SO THE FIRE SPRINKLERS WILL START WORKING??
I think he does that I'm assuming, it's not like the game is very understandable anyway
Apparently Heath has a hair curler lol
Ok maybe I got lost because I was like 1 hour without paying attention to the lore of this game but, Heath is helping Draculaura :3
I think it’s cute that Heath specifically knows Clawd's favorite color
HE IS JUST STANDING THERE IN THE FINAL SCENE
Tumblr media
Monster High: Skultimate Roller Maze
YOU CAN PLAY AS HEATH
COCKY ASS “After I win- You want me to autograph your skates?”
“Of course! The Heathster is the only choice!” when you pick him
Monster High: 13 Wishes.
Doesnt appear
 Monster High: New Ghoul in School
The first time he appears he’s at the robotics club, He has shown that he has mechanical skills before (the kid repaired a whole car) but I don't know, maybe he helps to make the external type parts of the robots
When the robot's legs light up, he says “Aw Man, that's so scary-cool!”
IN THE DAY IN THE Level 1 west hall HE IS DANCING WITH HOLT
HEATH SPENDS HIS LUCH TIME TALKING WITH MANNY AND CLAWD
You understand that Heath would rather be in a robotics club with Clawd, Robecca and Catty than be playing CasketBall (something we know he likes to do) with Deuce, Manny and Slo-Mo???
On top of that, he is super interested in the subject
Basically he is more in the robotics club to learn than anything else, at least on the subject of how a robot works, maybe he would say something more if the one who makes the videos spoke to him outside of the missions but hey what do I know
He doesn't seem so enthusiastic when they finally finish the robot, since the robots has to learn things from scratch, and I suppose that half disappoints his expectations??? Idk, Heath seems way more serious in this game than in any other content from G1
Or is he talking to Skellita, Sirena and Manny in the foyer?????? DOES NOT SUPPORT MANNY WITH HIS STUPID JOKE
After talking with them he goes back to dancing with Holt
Now that the robot does speak, he seems much more excited.
OOOOH THEY WERE NOT A CLUB, IT WAS LIKE A PROJECT FOR SCHOOL???? SINCE ROBECCA MENTIONS THAT EVERYONE WILL GET AN A WITH THIS PROJECT
HE IS AT THE AUDITORIUM?? LOL??? Ok I know it's for one of the missions from Elissabat. Is to see as a solo performance of Elissabat that Heath  goes to the auditorium. When she finishes giving his mini speech Heath goes to Elissabat to tell her that it was really good and that for him these issues (Reason for existing and life itself) are important issues for him too
DISSAPEARED AFTER HE SAID THAT?? BRO THIS GAME
I don't know if Heath is cursed (the plot of the game) or not when they're in the meeting since he doesn't appear, or if it's because the writers didn't care about him, lol
HE DOESN'T EVEN APPEAR IN THE FINAL SCENE???? HELLO???

A Clash of Kings - 46 BRAN VI (pages 599-608)
Summer has a bad time climbing trees, and Theon makes some bad life choices, but he does succeed in taking over Winterfell. Mikken leaves the party.
-
... I love these wolf dream POVs, they're just so... atmospheric? I guess is the word? Just the vibes and way the description style changes? so good.
Locked, something whispered. Chained. ... There is, the whisper came, and it seemed as if he could see the shadow of a great tree covered in needles, slanting up out of the black earth to ten times the height of a man. Yet when he looked about, it was not there. The other side of the godswood, the sentinel, hurry, hurry...
Oooohhh, Summer is 'hearing' Bran! Sharing his memories, or the impressions of them at least.That's so cool.
Yes Summer! Go! Go! Go-ohhh, nooo. Bugger, Summer was doing so well at tree climbing despite the lack of opposable thumbs.
...there's probably a good pun in there somewhere about timber wolves.
"I sent four men over the walls with grappling claws and ropes, and they opened a postern gate for the rest of us. -" ... "They swam the moat. Climbed the walls with hook and rope. Came over wet and dripping, steel in hand."
This is a horrifying betrayal by Theon (though expected and understandable in terms of things) but I just need to take a moment to appreciate how badass this was. The walls of Winterfell are like, ridiculously tall. (80 feet/24 meters at the outer wall, 100 feet/30 meters at the inner wall, which doesn't sound like much... when it's horizontal, but that's taller than an 8 story building.) I also have questions about whether or not the moat is heated like the hot-springs that litter Winterfell, and whether or not it contains fish and/or eels. (And if the moat is just an artificially enlarged hot-spring, just a trench connecting several dozen, does the mineral content of the pools flavour the fish? marinade?)
One of the ironmen went before them carrying a torch, but the rain had started again and soon drowned it out.
Aww, shame. you know what might have prevented that?
✨🏮Enclosed Lanterns 🏮✨
... poor emoji selection is poor
Poxy Tim wept inconsolably, and Beth Cassel cried with fear.
Beth! hi sweetie. I feel like we haven't seen her since early GoT, but maybe I'm just forgetting mentions of her?
...I see Theon's attempting to max his stats in asshole for his new role.
Mikken's being a boss though. Oh No! RIP Mikken.
... Urgh, knowing how loyal Reek was to Ramsay it probably would have been better if they'd just killed him here and- hang on. wait a minute.
So, I know from the show and from fics and from the wiki that Ramsay survived passed the "arrow in the back for a wedding gift" thing (unfortunately) but I've been trying to figure out where the deception is, was the wound just not as fatal as believed and all that.
I think I just... this "Reek" is way too glib. be honest with me.
Is this Reek/Heke fella actually Ramsay in disguise?
"M'lord Greyjoy!" Osha stepped past Mikken's body. "I was brought here captive too. You were there the day I was taken" ... "I've had a bellyfull of it. Put a spear in my hand again."
Now, I also know that show!Osha and book!Osha are supposedly a bit different, but what I do know of her book story line... I'm not going to call this a complete betrayal just yet, I'm going to assume it's a case of 'she's saying what she has to, to get herself into a better position for a true loyalty/preference reveal later' type thing.
... D': Hodor!!! How dare you hurt him you monsters!!!

Would Twigs parents approve of beloved or would they only approve of beloved if they were the ones that picked them for him regardless of money or class?
(I wrote Terry's parents through the fanon characterization of Morton and Myra Silver, as found on that old wiki page, but since that is now all scrapped unfortunately, I always try to put into perspective and combine all canons to create a cohesive whole as I envision it, so here goes ---)
---
I think Twig's / Terry's parents want someone rich and powerful, yes.
Terry himself, on a surface level, does too, because that's what he knows. What he's been raised on. What he is familiar with, at least in the more youthful years of his life, before John came along. But, I also tend to imagine his parents as obsessed, love-maddened and overly devoted as Terry himself, to almost cultish degrees. I imagine he gets it from them, in part. I imagine darling boy Terry, especially post-war, gets whatever he wants and all he has to do is prod someone with those big puppy eyes of his. They'll give him whatever he wants because they they want to butter him up and have him amenable and content after Vietnam, seeing as how that is their only boy. Their heir. Who just returned alive. Returned a hero! Yes, whatever he wants, he gets. That car. That mansion. That golfing lot. That seat at the company table. They obviously have a preference. What well to do parent doesn't? Ideally, they'd aim for someone within their class, or higher, because money attracts money and power is a ladder they intend to climb, but love is also love. I don't know what the show intends to do on the subject of Terry's parents (probably nothing, the same way it did nothing with a great many other concepts) but I always envisioned that they loved each other a whole lot, to the point where they were at times, uncontrollable and grossly overwhelming to be around, with social norms and dynamics entirely skewed in the Silver household. Something Terry picked up, because he too is grossly overwhelming and intense. As a friend. As a mentor. As a human being. And yes, when he's in love. Perhaps why he avoids it so? Because he watched his parents be absolutely messy when in love?
As such, I think if Twig had someone he really cared for ---
Well, his parents would claim that person for him, regardless of their class, background, money or lack thereof. They claim them like someone adopting a pet off of the street. It is admittedly a bit dehumanizing, but it is all for a good cause. Their boy is in love! What a joyful event! The lucky person is not what was desired, but they're taken anyway because yes, whatever Terry wants, Terry gets and the Silvers very much have the status and the connections to get away with it --- with something borderline ranging on abduction. They’ve enough cash to compensate for ten lives. They don’t need beloved’s and it is an insult to assume they do! Their boy deserves to be happy after Vietnam! Their boy will be happy after Vietnam! Or else! Beloved doesn’t get a lot of say in the issue. It is preferable if beloved consents, but consent is also not necessary if it is deemed their boy has legitimately been hit by a Cupid’s arrow and I envision them like a very eerie upper class old money family that would subjugate the couple to a few tests here and there to deem if these feelings are true. If it deems they are true, well, I supposed beloved’s trapped. No getting away now. Beloved’s lot in life becomes making their son happy and seeing as how they’re giving beloved a roof of their head, beautiful things, beautiful items, all the gorgeousness money can buy, they better comply. Nothing’s for free, right? Tactically, the Silvers have found that an economically impaired beloved is more flexible. Easier to bribe into things. Easier to have them stay put because they lack the resources to fight back.

avengers that i think could kill a mosquito
(Note: Yes, I know this isn’t Harry Potter. Also this is coming from someone who has only watched clips and read (fandom wiki pages, bless them) about said characters to only slightly know what she’s talking about, so if any of this is “inaccurate,” that’s probably why. Don’t take this too seriously, this is all in good fun, so don’t get upset if I “insult” your favorite character or something. Aight, now let’s begin. This is in no particular order, I’m sorry if I leave someone out)
Tony Stark: I doubt this man has ever had to lift a finger to kill any bugs in his life. If he saw one (assuming a bug could even get inside his home), he would subtly get Happy or Pepper (or maybe even Peter) to kill it. I’m 85% sure that if no-one was there to help him, he would just put on one of his suits and start blasting, then MAYBE he would be able to kill it on his own.
Steve Rogers: You know those people who will try and spare the bug, and like put a cup over it to release it outside? I think he’d be one of those people. I think he could kill it if he wanted to, but wouldn’t. 
Natasha Romanoff: Yes, of course she could. No further explanation needed. 
Thor: This himbo would get very upset at this tiny annoying ass bug buzzing in his ear. He would 100% think it was Loki messing with him. Once he figured out that it wasn’t his brother, I would like to believe he would use Mjolnir to try and kill it. It’s a solid maybe on if he actually manages to succeed though...
Loki (I know he’s not an avenger but whatever): Yes, he would. He would get very annoyed by the buzzing, it’s kind of funny imagining him get pissed off by one. He has a lot of powers and if I remember correctly, shape shifting is one of them so, he would probably turn into one and I don’t know, stab the real mosquito. 
Bruce Banner: Mosquitos are fucking annoying as hell, maybe he couldn’t (I think he could though, assuming Hulk hasn’t taken over yet) but Hulk certainly would try.
Hawkeye: Yeah, isn’t he supposed to have like super good aim? I mean I don’t think he would use an arrow to kill it, but if he’s half as good at smacking things with a shoe as he is with his arrows, then yeah, he could kill one.
Wanda Maximoff: I’d feel bad for that poor mosquito if it decided to buzz in her ear, she’d have no trouble killing it that’s for sure, with or without her powers.
Pietro Maximoff: Yes, Sonic the hedgehog here could kill it.
James Rhodes or “Rhodey”: Yes, I think he would be very chill about it too. I honestly think he’s one of the few people who wouldn’t cause chaos trying to kill it. 
Sam Wilson: Yes, he could. I don’t know why but I feel like he’d be one of those people who “talk” to it or himself while he’s trying to kill it.
Bucky Barnes (I know Bucky is just his nickname, but it feels weird to refer to him by anything else and he’s not technically part of the Avengers but whatever): I can’t decide if he wouldn’t be bothered by it or would lose his shit trying to catch it. If he was bothered by it, he would probably get Steve or Sam to kill it. He could kill it himself though.
Peter Parker: He’s literally Spiderman. He would probably put on the suit and shoot webs at it (I’m pretty sure the webs don’t come from his actual wrists...right?) just to see if that would work, but yes, he could.
Vision: Well, I’m pretty sure mosquitos are attracted to carbon dioxide, and he’s a robot....he doesn’t breathe. (This is not a “he’s dead joke”, but it could be.) But, in this case let’s just say he’s killing it for Tony or something. Yes, he could, he would probably figure out the best way to kill it and how to prevent more from getting in too.
Okay that’s it. :)

What the Taste Buds Had Left: A Crown of Candy PVP Scenario
[THIS POST IS ALL SPOILERS FOR A CROWN OF CANDY’S SEASON FINALE]
Like many fans, I was relieved that the last episode of A Crown of Candy did not end in PVP.  Like many fans, I was also a little excited to see how a PVP would have played out.  Now, obviously we can’t reliably predict any outcomes.  There’s always roleplay and player agency, to say nothing of dice rolls, so even the most likely outcome is never guaranteed.  However, we can look at the circumstances of each character going into a theoretical PVP, and potentially how that might affect their performance.  
First, a huge thanks to Kyber Bonsai, Tillie the Paladin, and gluegunshots, who put together the transcripts for Episodes 16 and 17 on the D20 wiki!  The transcripts were my main resource in gathering data, and saved me a lot more time and effort than if I had to go through the episodes, pausing every five seconds.  Thank you for your invaluable work in making D20 more accessible!  Thank you also to the D20 wiki editors!  Most of the stats and information about magical items came from the character pages on the wiki, so thank you for your hard work!  Thank you to Samir Barrett (@sketchmasterskillz), whose amazing official art for ACOC is included below.  And a quick shoutout to the folks at CritRoleStats, whose pre-combat “What Do The Mighty Nein Have Left” posts inspired my own efforts here.
Data Collection
The data reflects the current HP and remaining abilities of each character at the point when Saccharina and Ruby make their decisions.  Data collection began with the first spell slot used in Episode 16 (a 2nd level Pass Without a Trace from Liam before the battle started), and ended with Calroy’s death.  I focused on HP and limited-use abilities such as spell slots and magical items.  
For the sake of brevity, I have chosen not to include in this post every single class feature that each character has, and have instead highlighted limited-use abilities.  Unless otherwise stated, assume the character has access to their regular class and sub-class features.  Most of the class features that I’ve omitted can be found in the standard 5th edition Player’s Handbook, and the D&D 5e wiki contains the information for additional subclasses.  I’ve also assumed that apart from magical items and Lou’s Great Weapon Master feat, no homebrew edits have been made.
For magical items, I’ve elected not to describe every single magical ability, except those with particular homebrew features (e.g. Payment Day, Swirlwarden).  All magical weapons are +1 weapons (except Payment Day, which is +2).
While I was able to determine max HP for most of the characters going into the final battle, I was not able to determine Saccharina’s, as she did not take any damage in the fight, nor in the episode after she levelled up.  At Level 9, her HP max was 58.  She has an unknown Constitution modifier.  If Emily followed the Player’s Handbook when building Saccharina, Constitution would be her second highest score as a sorcerer.  Whether or not Constitution is her second highest ability score, I think it’s safe to assume that Saccharina would not have a negative modifier, giving us a range from +0 to +4 (I’m assuming she does not have a Constitution of 20).
Given those factors, we can estimate her Level 10 HP to be between 59 and 68.  She already had her two levels of cleric when we met her, so every level up since then has been sorcerer levels.  Sorcerers have a d6 hit die, so the lowest increase she could potentially have is +1 (1 + 0 CON mod) and the highest increase is +10 (6 + 4 CON mod).  Since she has healing spells, her exact HP doesn’t matter too much unless it comes to very high damage from a single attack (à la Lapin and Keradin), which it could, but that’s impossible to predict.  Suffice to say that for the purposes of this scenario, Saccharina has full health.
And now, on to the fun stuff!
Saccharina - Storm Sorcerer 8, Tempest Cleric 2
Tumblr media
[ID: The official art for Saccharina Frostwhip by Samir Barrett @sketchmasterskillz. Saccharina has green skin and a neapolitan mohawk.   She wears a silver tiara, a blue-green outfit dotted with dark spots and a light brown front panel, a white cloak, chocolate pauldrons with cherries on the shoulders, and waffle shinguards.  She holds a spoon-shaped staff in one hand which crackles with lightning energy, and her other hand outstretched to the side also crackles with lightning energy. She stands with a confident posture, and is looking to the side with hooded eyes and a smile.]
HP: Full (between 59-68 HP) AC: 20 Remaining Spell Slots: 1st level (4), 2nd level (2), 3rd level (1), 4th level (3) Sorcery Points: 5/8 Luck Points: 2/3
Feats: War Caster, Lucky
Magical Items Winterscoop Staff: 0 remaining charges; resistance to cold damage Freezerburn: Magical sword
Cinnamon HP: 65/178 Breath Weapon: Unknown
Cinnamon was one of Saccharina’s greatest assets in the battle.  Thanks to the enemy soldiers targeting Cinnamon with their attacks, Saccharina ends the battle with full health and most of her resources.  While both her 5th level spells are gone and the Winterscoop Staff is out of charges, she still has a good number of higher level spells, as well as access to healing spells.  There is the caveat that depending on how long it took between the end of the battle and the start of the PVP, the Haste spell she cast on Cinnamon in Round 4 of the battle may wear off (the battle ended during Round 11).  If it wears off before PVP starts, Cinnamon can still attack on her turn.  If it wears off during a round of PVP, he is stunned for a round, which could prove decisive.
In a PVP, Cinnamon could once again be her greatest asset, provided he is not stunned.  While it isn’t clear whether or not his breath weapon recharged after its last use in the battle, he’s still a large enough threat with his HP and melee attacks that an attacker would most likely focus on downing him first.  Lou revealed in the Adventuring Party’s for Episodes 16 and 17 that he’d been tracking Cinnamon’s HP and that in the case of PVP, he’d eliminate Cinnamon first to try and deescalate the situation.  Given that Amethar is one of the characters who could drop Saccharina to 0 in one turn (depending on her HP), this may give Saccharina the round advantage she needs to bring down Amethar first.
Lou was absolutely correct in identifying Saccharina as his biggest immediate threat (other than Cinnamon, of course).  With a 4th level Lightning Bolt and a Channel Divinity to deal maximum damage, Saccharina could easily drop Amethar at his current HP to 0 with one attack if he fails his save.  In fact, despite having the lowest max HP of the party, Saccharina is easily one of the most dangerous PCs, thanks to Emily’s excellent build.  With a 20 AC, a spell save DC of 17, and her levels in cleric, it would take a massive single attack to pose an immediate serious threat to her.  However…
Ruby - Arcane Trickster Rogue 9, Shadow Magic Sorcerer 1
Tumblr media
[ID: The official art for Ruby Rocks by Samir Barrett @sketchmasterskillz.  Ruby has pink skin and red locks of hair tied back into a high tail.  She wears a jewelled red tiara, an all-red outfit with puffed sleeves, and curved toe black shoes.  She is standing partially crouched, with her hands before her in fists, and looking to the side with a focused expression.]
HP: 55/78 AC: 17 Remaining Spell Slots: 1st level (4), 2nd level (3)
Feats: Squat Nimbleness, Magic Initiate
Magical Items Sour Scratch: Grasping Arrow (once/long rest), Acid Arrow (once/long rest) Flickerish: Shield (once/day), 1d6 Superiority Die (Disarming Attack) Locket of the Sweetest Heart: Advantage on death saving throws if other locket is within 5’ Water-steel Dagger: Imposes three conditions requiring saving throws - extra damage, poisoned condition, prevents target from speaking
Ruby has been very strategic throughout the battle, saving her spells and limited abilities for a potential PVP at the end.  The battle has taken out a chunk of her health, only about a third, but enough to put her in danger if she takes an attack from Cinnamon or Saccharina.  As a rogue, she does have Evasion and Uncanny Dodge, which could allow her to mitigate some of the damage from such an attack, although she would still be brought down low and could potentially go down at the next attack.
Of the six PCs, Ruby is one of the best placed when it comes to her resources and abilities.  She has all her spell slots, and full access to all her class abilities.  In particular, as a first level Shadow Magic sorcerer, Ruby has the feature Strength of the Grave.  If damage from a non-critical and non-radiant hit reduces her to 0, she can make a Charisma saving throw (DC = 5 + damage taken) to instead drop to 1 HP.  Paired with the Locket of the Sweetest Heart (if Liam is nearby and on her side), this provides her with a little more wiggle room if she drops to 0.
Rogues in general are very versatile.  Most of their class features are not limited use, and can be used in a variety of situations.  For a partial caster, she doesn’t have very many damage-dealing spells, but her hefty weapon arsenal compensates for that, with Sour Scratch, Flickerish, and the Water-steel Dagger all having considerable abilities and also meeting the requirements for a Sneak Attack weapon.  As we saw with Ciabatta, 5d6 Sneak Attack paired with the Water Steel Dagger is a deadly combination.  Ruby also has Yak, who can grant her advantage on an attack or check.  She may not be as openly formidable as Amethar, but she is just as dangerous in many ways.
Amethar - Storm Herald Barbarian 5, Battle Master 5
Tumblr media
[ID: The official art for Amethar Rocks by Samir Barrett @sketchmasterskillz.  Amethar has pink skin and a green beard.  He wears a jewelled crown of purple and gold, an elaborate outfit of striped red and purple, a purple suit of armour and boots, a furred purple cloak, gold vambraces, and various jewels decorate the ensemble.  He holds Payment Day, a gold-coloured sword with an enormous blade, in his hand, and has a strong stance with a serious expression on his face.]
HP: 48/116 AC: 17 Rages: 2 Superiority Dice: 2
Feats: Great Weapon Master (modified - roll +2d6 damage instead of flat +10)
Magical Items Payment Day: Extra damage die against creature who hit you in the previous round; if you roll a Natural 20 against a creature who has killed a member of your family, they must make a constitution saving throw (DC 16) or be killed
Amethar has been in the thick of battle, getting the kills on Grissini and Calroy, which is reflected in his HP (under half of his total).  However, he has not used his Second Wind yet, which could give him the boost he needs to withstand a round of attacks from Saccharina and Cinnamon.  While he’s already used up his Action Surge, he still has two attacks per round, and if anyone kills Ruby, Payment Day’s special ability could come through once again.
By design, high level barbarians are really difficult to kill, and Amethar’s levels in fighter make him even more scarily efficient in dealing damage.  Rage halves any bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage, which effectively makes Saccharina and Cinnamon the only ones who can consistently deal full damage to him, since Liam has used up almost all his magical attacks.  Unless Saccharina or Cinnamon deal significant damage in the early rounds of combat, Amethar is unlikely to go down until the end.
Having said that, Amethar is such an obvious threat that from a purely mechanical perspective, it makes sense for all the other characters to focus on him (à la Critical Role’s Battle Royales where nearly all the players focused on Grog).  Ruby can be very deadly in her own right, but she’s not going to present the same immediate danger as someone who doesn’t take full damage from an attack.  If Amethar tanks and absorbs attacks from other PCs, this could give Ruby leeway to either get her own attacks in or to make an escape.
Theo - Eldritch Knight Fighter 10
Tumblr media
[ID: The official art for Sir Theobald Gumbar by Samir Barrett @sketchmasterskillz.  Theo is a red gummy bear with big white moustache.  He wears an entire suit of golden plate armour and a golden helmet, with a purple sash and a red cloak.  He holds a purple lollipop shield in one hand, and a sword shaped like an orange popsicle in the other.  He stands at attention, with a focused expression on his face.]
HP: 116/140 AC: 21 Remaining Spell Slots: 1st level (2), 2nd level (2)
Feats: Heavy Armor Master, Tough, Alert
Magical Items Battlepop: Compelled Duel (once/day) Swirlwarden: Use reaction to move up to 30’ and take attack meant for ally
Yeah, you read right.  Theo’s HP max is 140, with an AC of 21 (I had to calculate this three times because I couldn’t believe it).  His current HP is equal to Amethar’s total max HP.  Theo may not be a barbarian, but he’s not going down any time soon.  He’s also been fairly conservative with his abilities, leaving him with the majority of his spell slots, as well as his Action Surge.  He also has a good list of cantrips, notably Blade Ward (resistance against bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage until the end of his next turn) and Green Flame Blade (1d8 + spellcasting ability modifier fire damage to target w/in 5 feet).  And of course, he has Princess to give him Help on attacks and checks (Find Familiar is so, so useful).
As Murph remarked in the finale, Theo doesn’t do what the other characters do, which is deal lots of damage.  As Brennan subsequently remarked, Theo doesn’t do that because what Theo does do is not get hit by attacks.  One of Theo’s potential roles in this hypothetical PVP scenario is to tank in the action economy.  Like Amethar, he’s a big threat because he’s difficult to down.  Thanks to the feature War Magic, he can cast cantrips as an action and make a weapon attack as a bonus action, so if he casts Blade Ward on himself each turn, he essentially becomes a foil to Amethar.  If Amethar and Ruby focused their attacks on trying to down Theo, this could allow his allies the breathing space they need to heal or make their own attacks.
In Lou’s strategy that he discussed in the final Adventuring Party, he placed Theo as the last on Amethar’s kill order.  While his order of kills is heartbreaking from a roleplaying perspective, it’s a very astute calculation.  Given his build, Theo is likely to be one of the last characters left standing, if not the last.  Even if he consistently uses Swirlwarden to tank damage for his allies, his considerable HP makes him unlikely to drop anytime soon, short of some really impressive damage rolls.  Amethar could try and team up on Theo with Ruby to bring him down to more manageable health, but that would leave them open to other attacks.  Murph really went a 110% in making Theo a bodyguard, and honestly, good for him, it’s what he deserves.
Liam - Gloomstalker Ranger 6, Assassin Rogue 4
Tumblr media
[ID: The official art for Liam Wilhelmina by Samir Barrett @sketchmasterskillz.  Liam has pink skin, a red nose, rosy cheeks, and short dark red hair.  He wears pink overalls, a red and white striped shirt, red boots and gloves, and a red and white hat.  He carries a large pack containing a bed roll and a lantern, and has a quiver of arrows and a book attached to his belt.  He is mid stride, looking down at his feet with a neutral expression.  A small pig with peppermint stripe markings trots beside him, wearing a purple collar with the letter “P” and looking up at Liam with a happy expression.]
HP: 77/90 AC: 16 Remaining Spell Slots: None
Feats: Crossbow Expert, Sharpshooter
Magical Items Crossbow: Bursting Arrow (once/day - used), Ice Knife (once/day) Locket of the Sweetest Heart: Advantage on death saving throws if other locket is within 5’ Seed of Change: ???
First, props to Ally for their roleplaying!  Most of the characters going into the battle anticipated a possible PVP at the end and saved their resources, but in-game, no one told Liam the full —or even half— story.  This means Liam did not have any reason to hold back during the final battle, which is exactly how Ally played him.  Liam used up all of his spell slots during the battle, as well as the Bursting Arrow feature on his crossbow, leaving him with his crossbow’s Ice Knife feature as his sole magical attack.
However, Liam is still a force to be reckoned with.  He still has two attacks each turn, and he’s absolutely deadly in the first turn of combat, where Dread Ambusher gives him a bonus to initiative roles, and Assassinate gives him advantage against any creatures who haven’t taken a turn in combat yet, with any hit on a surprised creature being a critical hit.  Dread Ambusher also gives him a bonus 10 feet of movement in his first round, and an extra attack with a bonus 1d8 damage if it lands.  He also has 2d6 Sneak Attack, which paired with his other features, means that Peppermint Batman’s still got a few tricks up his sleeve.
From a roleplay perspective, Liam is the biggest unknown here.  While he told Theo that he would protect Saccharina, that was without knowing the full story, and without being in the circumstances of an actual PVP battle.  Ally’s WiFi cut out during the Adventuring Party when the cast discussed what they would have done in a PVP, which means we don’t know for certain who Liam would have sided with.  If he defends Saccharina, that increases her numbers advantage.  If he sticks with Ruby and Amethar, this potentially tilts the combat in their favour with another big damage dealer.  He’s in a good place with his HP, which means he’s unlikely to go down soon, but he’s also got the lowest AC in the party.  Who knows what might happen?
(Let’s be honest, Ally rolls a narrative nat 20 that results in something unbelievable, unpredictable, and world-altering happening.  They are too powerful, and cannot and should not be stopped)
Cumulous - Long Death Monk 10
Tumblr media
[ID: The official art for Cumulous Rocks by Samir Barrett @sketchmasterskillz.  Cumulous has blue skin and poofy light pink hair.  He wears a pink outfit similar to a sleeveless gi with pants, a purple belt, and purple arm and leg wraps.  He holds a white staff in his hand.  Swirls of pink cloud come off of him.  He is mid action pose, with his legs in a mid-dash position and one of his hands brought forwards in a fist.  He looks to the side with a focused, stern expression on his face.]
HP: 85/85 + 6 temp HP AC: 18 Remaining Ki Points: 4/10
Feats: Mage Slayer
Magical Items Fluffwind: Whirlwind Stance; triples long jump; Gaseous Form (once/day)
While not the absolute juggernaut that Theo is, Cumulous is best placed of all the characters in regards to HP, with full health and 6 temp HP remaining from killing a Meatlander.  Although monks in general are not going to see the same staggering amounts of damage as other classes, and are more of a support martial class, Long Death monks excel in the kind of combat we saw in the finale - lots of lower-level enemies that are fairly easy to kill and gain temp HP from.  With a good AC, Cumulous can take a few attacks before being in trouble.
Unlike other martial classes, monks don’t often get the dramatic killing blow.  While they have a lot of attacks, each attack doesn’t deal that much damage by itself.  Monks consistently erode away at an opponent’s health, or stun them so that their allies can get their hits in.  Cumulous burned through a fair number of ki points during the battle, leaving him with a little under half his total, so he’ll have to be strategic about how and when he uses his ki.  Most of the other characters have a good Constitution and decent ACs, so it may be in his best interest to save his ki for mobility.
Cumulous has two big assets in a PVP battle, which are his mobility and the many hogwild (and unlimited) features that monks have.  With Unarmored Movement and Step of the Wind, he can move up to 150 feet in a turn, which includes across liquids and on vertical surfaces.  He has Slow Fall, allowing him to negate up to 50 points of falling damage, and he’s immune to poison and disease (which may come in useful against the Water-steel Dagger).  Thanks to being on Team Saccharina, he doesn’t have to worry about area of effect spells targeted at him.  If all else fails, he can book the fuck out of there to a safe distance and use Gaseous Form to escape from there.  
Conclusions
As I said at the beginning, there is no real way to predict the outcome of a PVP.  Besides raw mechanics, there’s roleplay, player agency, and of course, the dice.  Even looking at how each character is placed doesn’t necessarily translate to performance.  Mechanically, Ruby has the most resources left available, but that doesn’t mean she’d be able to overcome a worse case scenario of four PC attackers and a dragon.  Cumulous and Theo are doing the best in terms of HP, but would have difficulty downing another PC by themselves.  Amethar and Saccharina both have the potential to deal massive damage, but sorcerers are called “glass cannons” for a reason, and even with Rage, Amethar is sitting at a low HP.  Liam is an unknown quantity who could tip the scales in favour of one side or the other, but he has used up most of his devastating “war guy” abilities.
With the multitude of different factors (e.g. initiative order, possible crits, sheer buckwild shenanigans), it could realistically be either side left standing.  Team Saccharina has the advantage of numbers and several very hard to kill PCs, Team Ruby has the advantage of big damage dealers (not to mention rogues and barbarians are A Challenge to deal with on their own, never mind together).  As part of a team, each character has a better chance of survival and “winning,” with other characters being able to balance out their teammates’ weaker areas.  #teamworkmakesthedreamwork  All this, of course, without including the possibility of NPCs being convinced to join the fight.
But if there’s one thing we’ve seen in A Crown of Candy, it’s that there doesn’t have to be just two choices, either or.  There’s a third possibility, not between the two but something more, of change.  The fact that this is just a thought exercise bears that out.  Many thanks to the Dimension 20 cast and crew for an amazing season!

SJ/M’s plagiarism from fiction/media
I’m hoping to make a comprehensive list of all the sources SJ/M has outright ripped off from in the past. Feel free to comment down below or send an ask if you can think of anything.
SJ/M has very clearly ripped off of GRRM and JRR Tolkien’s works. Same goes for a lot of Anne Bishop’s works, too, and a lot of her favourite authors - so if anyone’s read books SJ/M has stated that she likes please let me know.
Note that this post will keep getting updated as I discover more evidences of plagiarism. Also note that there is every possibility that some resemblances are purely accidental and/or unintentional. So take it with a grain of salt.
(?) indicates a questionable addition to the post.
T/HRONE OF GLASS
- “The Queen Who Was Promised” comes from GRRM’s “The Prince who was Promised” prophecy in ASOIAF, who also goes by Azor Ahai, who wields Lightbringer, and is also known as the Son of Fire. 
- “Aelin” is probably derived from “Aelin-uial” in the Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien. Additionally, it may have been derived from Aerin Dragon-Killer/Aerin Firehair from Robin McKinley's The Hero and the Crown, as SJ/M stated it was one of her favourite novels.
- “Fireheart” is the name of Corlath’s horse in The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley, an author SJ/M admires.
- Empire of Storms, 2016, contains the infamous line ‘velvet-wrapped steel.’ And… so does Fifty Shades of Grey, in 2011: ‘Steel encased in velvet.’ 
- “Valg” comes from Terry Brooke’s The Sword of Shannara, another author SJ/M admires.
- “Hope. You cannot steal it, and you cannot break it." is awfully similar to the line from The Princess Bride about love "you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords". SJ/M has said that she loved the movie.
- The infamous “You could rattle the stars” is a ripoff of Treasure Planet’s “You’re gonna rattle the stars.”
- “To Whatever End” comes from The Two Towers where King Theoden says it just before the battle of Helm’s deep begins.
- “You bow to no one” is said by Aragorn at the end of the Return of the King after his coronation.
- Orynth has white walls and is surrounded by snow capped peaks. It has large white walls and bears an unusually striking resemblance to Minas Tirith in The Lord of the Rings.
- Aelin’s journey mirrors that of Aragorn. The lost heir to a powerful throne, spends years in the wilderness denying their claim, joins forces with the elf/faes to reclaim it and has an immortal elf/fae as consort.
- Nehemia names Aelin ‘Elentiya’, saying, “I give you this name to use with honour, to use when other names grow too heavy. I name you Elentiya, ‘Spirit That Could Not Be Broken’.” It sounds similar in tone and cadence to the way Galadriel describes the light of Earendil to Frodo. The name Elentiya even sounds Elvish, and sits discordant with the other naming conventions in Eyllwe.
- Manon gathers the witches to go to war by starting a series of beacons, lit all across Erilea, from snow-capped mountains to the woodlands - directly from the Return of the King when Pippin helps Gondor call for aid. 
- The wall defences of Orynth are completely sound, except there’s one more way in, through a grate in the water canal - another striking resemblance to a place in Lord of the Rings known as Helm’s Deep. There is even a scene where someone asks if there’s a secret passage the women and children can escape through.
- In EoS and ToD, Chaol is referred to as “Hand of the King”. In GoT the “Hand of the King” is a title given to the King’s advisor.
- The speech that Haldir gave when he arrived in Helm’s Deep, uniting the elven and human forces, is paraphrased at least three times in this book. Most notably when Manon brings the Crochan witches to fight alongside the humans. She actually says “Long ago, Crochans and humans fought side by side…”
- Kingsflame blossoms bloom only when a kingdom is at peace and the rightful monarch is on the throne. Also a very similar plot point to the White Tree of Gondor in The Lord of the Rings.
- The dam breaking in Anielle and flooding is based on the Isengard dam breaking in The Two Towers. 
- Chaol crosses the Narrow Sea to get to the southern continent. In GoT the Narrow Sea is the body of water between Westeros and Essos.
- The “Wyrdkeys” are the Silmarils. There are 3 Wyrdkeys and 3 Silmarils. They’re ancient and powerful stones forged by a being of great power (Feanor, who made the Silmarils, was the most powerful elf of all time). Everyone is fighting over them. And just like one Wyrdkey eventually ends up in the Terrasen Amulet, one of the Silmarils ends up in a necklace called the Nauglamir. They’re also all destroyed/lost at the end.
- Kingdom of Ash, page 543: “It was not arrows alone that had been fired, and now peppered the snow.But heads. Human heads, many still in their helmets.” In Return of the King, the orcs catapult severed heads (still in their helmets) over the walls of Minas Tirith.
- “What say you, Queen of Witches?”…….“I shall answer Terrasen’s call.” is a blatant rip-off of the scene where Aragorn approaches Theoden after the beacons are lit in the Return of the King.
- Rowan is referred to as, “My friend through many dangers.” which is exactly what Gandalf says about Shadowfax, his horse, in Lord of the Rings.
- The Land before Time, 1988: ‘Some things you see with your eyes. Other things you see with your heart.’
Crown of Midnight, SJM, 2011: ‘Some things you hear with your eyes. Other things you hear with your heart.’
- ‘Spirit that could not be broken’ is seen in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) and Throne of Glass (2011).
- It’s possible that SJ/M may have plagiarised Maria V Snyder’s Poison Study(?) (published 2005). Both books begin with the heroine being released from prison and being offered the choice to be freed by working for the very rulers who’d imprisoned them. Also, Valek - Yelena’s love interest - is the greatest and most feared assassin in the country and also acts as a mentor to Yelena much like Rowan does in Heir of Fire. However, I think this is a questionable addition despite similarities because SJ/M began writing Queen of Glass in 2003 and all the aforementioned aspects that are similar were already present in the version she published online.
- S/JM has saved a pin of Connor Kenway from the Assassin's Creed series (AC3) as Rowan and Lorcan on Pinterest. Towards the end of the series they started using hatchets as weapons, which is Connor's choice of weapon, outside of swords, and is used heavily in art which features him. Aelin's assassin suit from the earlier books also had a blade built into it, which was very similar to the hidden blade the assassins in Assassin's Creed use.

A/COTAR
- “Prythian”, the A/COTAR world, is taken directly from Anne Bishop’s Daughter of the Blood.
- The Archeron sisters could be based off the painting “The Acheson Sisters” by John Singer Sargent which features three women.
- The Illyrians could have been based off of the Eyriens from Anne’s Bishop’s Black Jewels series. Both are warrior races with bat wings that use a war blade to fight with. They also both completely refuse their women any right to fight and consider losing their wings to be the absolute worst thing that could happen to them. 
- Feyre tells Tamlin, “The sun was shining when I left you.” which is basically Paris saying, “The sun was shining when your wife left you.” in the movie Troy (2004)
- Rhys proclaims, “Light can be found even in the darkest of hells,” Which is really close to Dumbledore saying (in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
- Daenerys: “We’re going to leave the world better than we found it.” 
ACOWAR: “Leave this world… a better place than how you found it.”
- “Pity those who don’t feel anything at all.” is a variation of “Pity the living and above all, those who live without love,” said by Dumbledore in the Deathly Hallows.
- A Dance of Dragons, George R.R. Martin, 2011: ‘He is fire made flesh, she thought, and so am I.’
ACOMAF, 2016: ‘Fire - he reminded her of fire made flesh.’
- SJ/M may have also plagiarised The Chronicles of Prydain for ACOTAR wherein Prythian is altered to Prydain and The Cauldron is derived from The Black Cauldron. This may be especially true considering the fact that SJ/M has expressed her love for the books and stated it on Twitter. She also went on to mention that she got the name for Prythian from those books. Similarities to the cauldron can also be seen in the fact that SJ/M’s Cauldron can transform humans into fae while Alexander's Black Cauldron is able to resurrect the dead.
!!!! Further Reading: Noticeable similarities between ACOTAR and The Chronicles of Prydain series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Prydain
- Possible plagiarism(?) of Titanic: Rose is Feyre, Cal is Tamlin, Jack is Rhys. The story is similar - the girl is involved with a guy who seems nice enough, but turns out to be abusive etc. There are similar incidents of the table being chucked across the room/and the study being destroyed. Then you also have the girl being told the other guy isn't nice and she should stay away from him, but then it ends up being the other way round. The guy bosses her about, making her decisions for her and ends up dying for her later on.
- Rhapsody by Laura Thalassa and A/COTAR have awfully similar tropes. Both involve faeries, in both the main female lead leaves her barbaric boyfriend to go with the dark, elegant Fae boyfriend who came to collect a debt.

i'm admitedly not as good at continuities as i'd like but i always wondered about the timeline of the American Son fight 'cuz i feel like it would massively mess up Jhonny if he ever found out he dated Daken AFTER he used his freaky pheromones on Pete to hand him over to Norman for torturing, even if he never found out about the whole Skip Westcott bit of awful
I’m going to teach you my trick for lining up continuities. It’s not perfect, especially currently when Marvel is doing this thing where it’s publishing content out of order – ie, an event will still be going on, but we’ll know how it basically ends because the solo titles will have moved ahead of it, THIS IS NOT GREAT, MARVEL – so sometimes you have to fiddle with it a bit, but it generally works okay. Google your issue number of choice – in my case here I did Amazing Spider-Man #597, the issue where Peter and Daken fight – and bring up its page on the Marvel wiki. Underneath the cover image, you’re going to see some dates:
Tumblr media
You want released, not published. Click on that and it’ll give you every comic published by Marvel in that week/month. Published first doesn’t always mean happened first, but it’s a good starting point. 
Now we go to Dark Wolverine #75, which is the first issue where Daken makes contact with the Fantastic Four:
Tumblr media
So these two events – Daken and Peter’s fight in Avengers Tower during American Son, and Daken making contact with the Fantastic Four – happen very close together, regardless of which one comes first on the actual timeline. I could probably piece it together with a little comprehensive Dark Reign rereading but I don’t have time for that because I’ve taken on eighteen other different rereads. 
I do want to clarify a couple of things, though. While I think the Daken vs Peter fight is an interesting one due to the combination of their skill sets, and while Daken’s pheromone abilities often take on a sexual connotation with their use, that’s not what’s happening in the Daken vs Peter fight. Daken specifically is using his powers in the context of this fight to throw off Peter’s depth perception and visual acuity, which means Peter’s hits – and let’s remember Peter has the superior strength – don’t land:
Tumblr media
Nothing about Daken’s powers sounds like something pheromones can do in real life, but this is a comic book about a guy who got bit by a radioactive spider and can lift trucks as a result, so whatever. So there isn’t any sexual coercion component to this fight. Daken doesn’t even flirt or use innuendo during it, like he does in matches with, for example, Gambit and Ben Grimm. This is purely a professional battle on his part. Peter also, I should note, wipes the floor with him as soon as he figures out how to get through the fight without relying on his vision. I’m sure if Daken had won he would have handed him off to Norman for the gold star sticker and extra Dark Avengers points, but he doesn’t personally get that opportunity. And if we’re going to talk sexual innuendo, it’s actually Peter-disguised-as-Mac-Gargan who casts aspersions on Daken, telling Norman that they fought because Daken was “after” Harry and “pulled him from his bed.” Peter ends up being tortured after Bullseye shoots him through the legs – and after Norman shoots him in the head. (He had a special mask made by Reed so it wasn’t that big a deal, sans the torture.) Daken is out cold on the ground at this point.
Tumblr media
(Amazing Spider-Man #597)
But even without that Dark Reign reread, the fact that these two events happen very close together actually works in the favor of providing Johnny with an explanation he could accept over Daken fighting Spider-Man. Johnny knows Daken’s on the Dark Avengers. Daken specifically comes to the Fantastic Four in Dark Wolverine #75-77 seeking a secret alliance with them against Norman Osborn – one that ends with the Fantastic Four feeling in debt to Daken. If this fight between Peter and Daken came to Johnny’s attention, it’s easy enough for Daken to explain away that he was working to keep Norman from suspecting he might be anything but a good little Dark Avenger. Also, like I said – there’s no sexual manipulation in the Daken vs Peter fight. It’s a regular ol’ superpowered battle. There is, however, a sexual manipulation note used against Ben when Daken taunts him into beating him into the ground in Dark Wolverine #76, which was a move engineered to gain the sympathy of the Four towards Daken, and one that worked really well on Johnny.
Tumblr media
(Dark Wolverine #76) Daken’s a good chess player, is the thing surrounding his interactions with the Fantastic Four. I think there’s quite a bit about this setup that, if Johnny knew, would have messed him up incredibly – after all, the entire interaction starts when Daken shoots Johnny in the leg with an arrow and then frames someone else for the deed. (Johnny never finds out it was Daken, btw.) Then there’s the faked kidnapping attempt on Franklin in Daken #4, where Daken appears to “save” Franklin from an intruder – but really orchestrated the entire attack himself. Finally, there’s the incident Johnny very much does know about because he was there for it at the end of Daken’s solo in Daken #22-23, when Daken drugs Reed and attempts to kill him by throwing him off a building. That incident alone I think would be enough for Johnny to look back on the relationship with some regrets. 
Marjorie Liu confirmed on twitter that Daken and Johnny had a sexual relationship, but mapping the timeline of that takes a little poking around with the canon. They almost definitely had no sexual contact during Dark Wolverine #75-77 – which takes place either concurrently with or after Peter and Daken’s fight – because there’s just no time to account for it within the book. Daken definitely engenders Johnny’s sympathies and some affection for him during this period, though, which leads me to place the period where the sexual contact took place as between Dark Wolverine #77 and Daken #1, during which Daken has a bit of a charged phone call with Johnny that suggests a certain closeness. Shortly after this, Daken fakes his death, which Johnny takes very hard. They most likely had a last sexual encounter in Dark Wolverine #4, based on this staging:
Tumblr media
Daken doing up his belt, Johnny on the bed with his legs spread – it doesn’t take a genius to read this scene as something of an aftermath. After this, Daken and Johnny don’t see each other until Daken #21. Note that Johnny’s stint in the Negative Zone was between these two things. 
I mean, if Daken had used his pheromone powers on Peter to mess with him in a sexual manner, and Johnny found out about it after he’d slept with Daken, I do think it would upset him incredibly, but that’s not what happened in the Daken vs Peter American Son fight, and the laundry list of Things Johnny Would Be Upset About If He Knew Daken Did That is so long that I can’t see what is a fairly straightforward superhero vs villain fight (that Peter won) ending up particularly high on the list. On the other hand, I do think Peter would have a total fit if/when he found out Johnny had slept with Daken, but that it would be more on the “sleeping with a dude Peter’s fought/Wolverine’s 70yo son” side of things at least initially.

sometimes i need to clear my mind of my aus and just write whatever comes to mind to get rid of a writing block. so uh heres some ancient greek joetrick for all your ancient greek joetrick needs
since i only rlly wrote this for myself u might need to uh. look up a few things in there to really understand whats goin on. there was a lotta wiki pages consulted in writin this bad boy and thats cuz its all 4 me babey
Joe stepped back into the city after a whole month away, his knapsack feeling heavy on his shoulders. He was really just glad to be back, and even the commotion was refreshing. Leaning against a fence was a beautiful boy in a long chiton, a wreath of laurel adorning his head. In one hand was a cup, and the other held a piece of bread; by the time the boy looked up, Joe was only a few paces away, so the boy set down his cup, stepped over, and hugged him. “Ah, I missed you so much!” Patrick said, barely leaving time to swallow his bite before speaking. “How was it, being a real soldier?”
“Oh, it was wonderful! We won, too.”
“I heard, I heard! I was quite worried about you, you know.” Patrick leaned away, his spare hand placed on Joe's shoulder. The boy gave a quaint smile. “You're still as handsome as they day we first met.”
“And I doubt you've listened to a word I've said since then, you're so enthralled,” Joe teased. He put a hand on Patrick's back and pulled him into a small kiss—Patrick pushed him away and giggled after a few moments, then unfastened Joe's chlamys and pulled it around himself instead. He struggled with the button, then looked over Joe with half-lidded eyes.
“Ah, you've got a tear in your chiton, Joe,” He said, pressing a fingernail against part of Joe's chiton. “I think it's got to be taken off once we get home, don't you agree?”
Joe laughed, swatting his hand away. “We'd better get back soon, then,” He said, finding the tailor's hand. “I know your more interested in looking through my bag than anything.”
“Well, now that you mention it, I think I am.”
They headed off towards Patrick's house. “Well, Patrick, I'm eager to hear about your time without me. How about the little scar on your nose?”
The boy giggled, taking a swift bite of his bread. “I went to the forest—” He started, taking a moment to swallow. “I was worried about you getting hurt, and I was worrying and worrying, so I took my bow and a quiver of arrows and I went up Mount, ah, Parnassus. Not all the way to the temple, mind you, but I found a nice clearing somewhere halfway up the mountain and I made a fire and readied my bedroll and I asked out, for Apollo and Nike and Athena, to keep you safe, and—and Joe, when I woke up, you know what happened?”
“No, I don't. What happened?”
“Well, none of them spoke to me, perhaps because I didn't go to the temple, but! When I woke up, a deer was standing over me. I'm willing to bet that, that if that wasn't Apollo, it was surely Artemis. That'd make sense, hm? I had the bow, and I've heard she comes to people on dreams as a deer. Perhaps Apollo does, too, I'm willing to bet that's right. The deer let me pet her—ah, she didn't have antlers, it was likely Artemis—she let me pet her, and then galloped off.” Patrick sighed, as if he were reminiscent. “I also saw what I thought must have been centaurs, but it was far off, so it was probably just a few wild horses.”
Joe smiled at him. “Thank you for the blessing, then. How'd you get the scar, though?”
“Ah! I tripped while hiking up and fell into some rather bad brambles and it cut my nose badly. That's all.” They stepped into Patrick's shop, then headed into the back rooms, the parts they considered to truly be home. “Do you like the Ionic chiton, Joe? I had a few orders done in this style while you were gone, and the Apollo statue at the forum wears one, so I felt I had to see why people liked them so much.”
“I think,” Joe began, grabbing Patrick's arm and taking him in the direction of his bedroom. “That you'd look much better without it.”
Patrick laughed. “I think I might see where you're coming from, my darling.”

for the ff meme: 9, 24, 59
I fucking opened a bookmark link over this page and I have to rewrite all my answers rip me hahaha.......
9: Man, there are so many NPCs. What constitutes an NPC??? Just someone you never take control of, or one of the background characters who isn’t an active role in the story??? fuck I don’t know. My first impression was the latter, so characters like Bugenhagen (from FF7, is Red XIII’s grandpa, has lots of knowledge) and Maechen (from FF10, also has lots of knowledge and lore to give out, and hey spoilers he’S ALSO AN UNSENT????). I like the NPCs that can tell me more about the world.
Currently I really dig Cor Leonis from FF15. He’s so cool. *v*
but according to the Final Fantasy wiki, which I just looked at to remember Maechen’s name, both definitions I just used are NPCs, so HEY GUESS WHAT MY FAVORITE IS Genesis Rhapsodos, from Crisis Core. He’s a roaring garbage fire, a literal Jrock star’s self-insert into FF7, but I love him so much haha. He’s a lot of fun I have adopted him as mine.
--
24: whoo okay job classes. I’ve played far less Final Fantasys with strict job classes (that seemed to have gone out with FF6, as much as those characters are technically locked into their classes), so like. I played the Tactics games and a little bit of the first five games. I always liked the Red mages. Being able to cast black and white magic is cool, and I always liked the aesthetic, and they can use swords sometimes. But if I had to choose one to be, I’d probably want to be a Monk or Archer or Elementalist. If there was a class with spears that wasn’t fully armored, I’d wanna be that. I like the distance of spears/poles/arrows, or I’d use my fists. I have no desire for the in between apparently!
fun fact though, I’ve taken fencing and kung fu classes.
--
59: Haha, oh man. I always come back to Sinnatious’s fics The Fifth Act and Beloved for quality Genesis characterization. Like, those fics are so quality for me as a FF7 fan. Cloud is written as this half-finished person, which is to say he never lets himself rest and is always thinking one or two steps ahead instead of planning for the actual future, and is trying his best to figure out who he is after all the Shit he’s been through... and oh my god in TFA his interactions with Sephiroth are so painful and so good I cannot get Enough of it. Also like, highkey, Genesis is beautiful and written The Best in these two fics as a flawed hothead character with his pride and ferocity over what he cares about, and his snark is A+, and whoops I ship Cloud and Genesis so hard now haha.
But Final Fantasy as a whole has a similar problem as Harry Potter does for me in that I wasn’t quite on the internet at the time I was first into them so I don’t have a plethora of fics to highlight here. And the ones I DO remember were from fanfiction.net, so the quality of them wasn’t exactly the best. I read False Advertising, by Mako Red Eyes, which got me shipping Valenwind something fierce. Why did I decide Valenwind would be my ship? Who knows haha. And there was a dumb high school AU fic that crossed over with p much every final fantasy and also kingdom hearts and Yuna may have given Seymour a blowjob??? it was Bad, from what I remember. I read so much fanfic trash lmao.
(on the other hand pls hit me up for Final Fantasy RP I would love to play some strifesodos or ignoct)
Final Fantasy questions! ask me things and I will talk about my love for these games, especially 7, 10, and 15 lmao

Collection of pixie like legends:
The sources for all of these myths and legends come from a lot of different books and places, and due to the nature of folklore and such tales there are lots of variations in depictions and descriptions of each myth. This is simply my collection of descriptions I’ve come across that I find the most interesting.
Redcap: Border folklore
Creatures said to inhabit ruined castles, especially those that were the scenes of tyranny or wicked deeds. Descriptions from Briggs, Katharine's “An Encyclopedia of Fairies,” and  Henderson, William's “Folklore of the Northern Counties of England and the Borders,” depict them as short old men with “long prominent teeth, skinny fingers armed with talons like eagles, large eyes of a fiery red colour,” and “grisly hair streaming down (their) shoulders.“ Their most prominent feature however is of course their red caps, which are soaked in the blood of their victims. They attack travellers that enter their lair by flinging stones at them, and are said to be unaffected by human strength. They can be driven away by words of scripture or crucifixes, which cause them to “utter a dismal yell and vanish in flames, leaving behind a large tooth.” Similar to Far Darrig, also known as Rat Boys, as they are said to be fat, have dark, hairy skin, long snouts, and skinny tails. They are said to be the creatures that replace babies with changelings.

Muki: Andes Region myth
Goblin like creatures that live underground, specifically as miners in mines. They are small and brawny with deep husky voices, long, bright blonde hair, a hairy red face, very pale skin, and a long white beard. Its eyes reflect light as if made out of metal. In some mining traditions, he has two horns that are used to break the rocks and point at the mineral veins. Sometimes he is described as having pointy ears. His legs sometimes take the shape of a goose or crow’s. Sometimes he shape-shifts into an animal or a blonde white man to appear to the miners and deceive them. Muki can make metal veins appear and disappear, and are known to use this power to make pacts with miners in exchange for coca or alcohol. They live forever, and prefer to live alone. They like to whistle loudly. They are known for stealing children (which when mixed with european mythology became most commonly unbaptised children.) However, other myths say it is instead unbaptised children that are kidnapped by goblins who then become the Muki. 
Tumblr media
https://www.southamericatotheworld.com/el-muki/
Púca: Celctic Folklore
Irish (Gaeilge) for spirit/ghost, púca are considered to be bringers of good and bad fortune. They can choose to help or hinder rural/marine communities. Púca are said to be shape-shifters. They typically have dark or white fur or hair. They’re known to take the appearance of horses, goats, cats, dogs, and hares, as well as humans with animal features (such as ears or a tail.) Most frequently it takes the form of a sleek black horse with luminescent golden eyes. They are often mischievous in nature, and are known to entice humans to ride on their back, only to give them a wild and terrifying ride before dropping them back where they were taken from. Other stories recount them acting as guardians or helpful spirits- doing work for farmers that gave them gifts or intervening before an accident or interaction with a malevolent spirit. They are scared off by sharp things, perhaps stemming from the irish belief that cold iron has the ability to ward off the supernatural.

Goldhorn: Slovene folklore
A legendary white mountain goat/antelope with golden horns. One story says that its horns are the key to finding a treasure hidden in the mountains around Triglav, however when a hunter shot and pursued the creature up a dangerous mountain path, it went to a trail of healing flowers which it ate. Once healed, it ran at the hunter who, blinded by the creatures horns, lost his footing and fell to his feath. Similar in description is:

Ceryneian Hind: Greek mythology
An enormous female deer with golden stag antlers and bronze or brass hooves. The creature was said to be so fast it could outrun an arrow. It was sacred to Artemis, goddess of the hunt, animals, and unmarried women.)

Kitsune: Japanese mythology
A fox yokai. Countless stories and legends depict kitsune as intelligent creatures with paranormal powers and impressive abilities. Kitsune is simply the japanese word for fox, but they have become closely associated with inari okami, the japanese kami (spirits/godlike phenomena) of rice, tea, sake, fertility, agriculture, industry, and of general prosperity and worldly success. They are believed to be the messengers of this kami. The more tails a kitsune has (which can be as many as 9) the older, wiser, and more powerful it is.

Wechuge: Athabaskan legend
A creature that has been possessed or overwhelmed by the power of an ancient spirit animals. The creatures are crafty, intelligent, and powerful. One becomes a wechuge by breaking a taboo and becoming too strong. They are often depicted with wings, and vary from being half-human, half animal to made of ice (one legend says the only way to kill a Wechuge is to throw it into a fire until it melts.)

I went to the talk page on St. Sebastian’s wiki page to see if I could figure out why exactly he’s been taken a gay icon, aside from ‘because he’s painted like a twink’, and someone posited:
I have read about the connection before in an academic text. It mentioned the symbolic significance of his body being penetrated by arrows and surviving, before an incredulous world (which kills him anyway).
So now I’m crying, thanks.

祝改元 令 和
祝改元 令 和
 改元、令和時代 を祝する。令和とは 偶然、ゼロ除算の概念から、全ての和を考えるとゼロになるという、ゼロの雄大で深い意味を表わす。2000年を越える数学の歴史には 未だ数学の前史時代を思わせるような基本的な欠陥がある。
改元を機会に、令和時代にゼロ除算算法を取り入れた新数学を発展させて、令和時代の世界文化遺産 になるように 日本国は先導し、努力して、今こそ世界の数理科学に貢献しよう。

 ( 流石に 素晴らしい日本の文化。感銘しました。力が湧いてきました。凄い考えも浮かんできました。令和。
新元号 令和は、漢字、発音、形、由来、素晴らしいと感じました。 そこで、力が 湧いてきました。 ゼロ除算算法は 特異点の世界に立ち入った 全く新しい世界、数学ですので、 改元を機会に 日本発(初)の 数学の基礎の確立に貢献したい。 日本数学会、日本国の力をかけて 世界に貢献すべく努力したい。

時ときに、初春しよしゆんの令月れいげつにして、気き淑よく風かぜ和やはらぎ、梅うめは鏡前きやうぜんの粉こを披ひらき、蘭らんは珮後はいごの香かうを薫かをらす。 )
 そこで、万葉の美しい心情を篤く受け止めて ややもすると日本の文化、精神の弱点とみられる数理科学の基礎に 日本国が今後永く世界に貢献できる新数学として ゼロ除算算法の大きな展望を 新時代を迎えるに当たって述べたい。日本発(初)の基礎数学、新しい世界観を 世界の文化に貢献すべく世界に展開しようではないか。
 そもそもゼロ除算算法とは、ゼロで割る問題 (ゼロ除算) から由来するが、ゼロ除算は 古くはアリストテレス以来 不可能であることの象徴と考えられ、物理学上でもアインシュタインの最大の懸案の問題であったとされる。特異点での問題はブラックホールの問題と絡ませて、現在でも広く議論されている。しかるにその本質はゼロ除算算法の概念で捉えられ、原理は解析関数の孤立特異点での 新しい世界の発見 として説明される。従来、特異点においては、特異点の近くでの研究を行い、特異点そこでは考えて来なかった。すなわち、特異点そのものでの研究を可能にしたものであるから、全く新規な世界、数学である。不可能であると2000年を越えて考えられてきたところ、可能になったのであるから、その大きな意義と影響は既に歴然である。その影響は数学の全般に及ぶばかりか、我々の世界観に甚大なる影響を与え、世界史の大きな展開期を迎えるだろう。現代初等数学は、本質的な欠陥を有し、数学の基本的な再構成が求められ、新しい未知の雄大な世界の解明が求められている。
今こそ、新時代を迎えるに呼応して、新数学、新時代を開拓して、日本国は世界に貢献できるように、努��して行こう。

Re: 1/0=0/0=0 example JAMES ANDERSON [email protected] apr, 2 at 15:03 All,
Saitoh’s claim is wider than 1/0 = 0. It is x/0 = 0 for all real x. Real numbers are a field. The axioms of fields define the multiplicative inverse for every number except zero. Saitoh generalises this inverse to give 0^(-1) = 0. The axioms give the freedom to do this. The really important thing is that the result is zero - a number for which the field axioms hold. So Saitoh’s generalised system is still a field. This makes it attractive for algebraic reasons but, in my view, it is unattractive when dealing with calculus.
There is no milage in declaring Saitoh wrong. The only objections one can make are to usefulness. That is why Saitoh publishes so many notes on the usefulness of his system. I do the same with my system, but my method is to establish usefulness by extending many areas of mathematics and establishing new mathematical results.
That said, there is value in examining the logical basis of the various proposed number systems. We might find errors in them and we certainly can find areas of overlap and difference. These areas inform the choice of number system for different applications. This analysis helps determine where each number system will be useful.
James Anderson Sent from my iPhone
The deduction that z/0 = 0, for any z, is based in Saitoh's geometric intuition and it is currently applied in proof assistant technology, which are useful in industry and in the military.
Is It Really Impossible To Divide By Zero?
https://juniperpublishers.com/bboaj/pdf/BBOAJ.MS.ID.555703.pdf
Dear the leading person:
How will be the below information?
The biggest scandal:
The typical good comment for the first draft is given by some physicist as follows:
Here is how I see the problem with prohibition on division by zero,
which is the biggest scandal in modern mathematics as you rightly pointed out (2017.10.14.08:55)
A typical wrong idea will be given as follows:
mathematical life is very good without division by zero (2018.2.8.21:43).
It is nice to know that you will present your result at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Please remember to mention Isabelle/HOL, which is a software in which x/0 = 0. This software is the result of many years of research and a millions of dollars were invested in it. If x/0 = 0 was false, all these money was for nothing. Right now, there is a team of mathematicians formalizing all the mathematics in Isabelle/HOL, where x/0 = 0 for all x, so this mathematical relation is the future of mathematics. https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~lp15/Grants/Alexandria/
José Manuel Rodríguez Caballero
Added an answer
In the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL we have x/0 = 0 for each number x. This is advantageous in order to simplify the proofs. You can download this proof assistant here: https://isabelle.in.tum.de/
Nevertheless, you can use that x/0 = 0, following the rules from Isabelle/HOL and you will obtain no contradiction. Indeed, you can check this fact just downloading Isabelle/HOL: https://isabelle.in.tum.de/
and copying the following code

theorem T: ‹x/0 + 2000 = 2000› for x :: complex by simp

A poem about division from Hacker's Delight Last updated 5 weeks ago
I was re-reading Hacker's Delight and on page 202 I found a poem about division that I had forgotten about.
I think that I shall never envision An op unlovely as division. An op whose answer must be guessed And then, through multiply, assessed; An op for which we dearly pay, In cycles wasted every day. Division code is often hairy; Long division's downright scary. The proofs can overtax your brain, The ceiling and floor may drive you insane. Good code to divide takes a Knuthian hero, But even God can't divide by zero! Henry S. Warren, author of Hacker's Delight.

 そこで、上記を裏付けるために 改められるべき数学の大勢を一般向きに述べて、いわば、令和革新の内容を 述べて、令和革新の大義を明らかにしたい。
 まずゼロで割っていはいけない、分母がゼロの場合を 極限などの概念を避けて考えてはならないの 2000年を越える 数学十戎の第一 を改め、ゼロで割ることを考える、新世界を拓く。 分母がゼロである場合、またゼロで割ることを 今後は広く考える。 これはゼロ除算の意味を正確に捉え、ゼロ除算算法として定式化することによって 何時でも可能になり、 従来考えてこなかった新世界が現れてくる。その意味で、1/0=0/0=z/0= \tan(\pi/2)= \log 0=0 であり、無限遠点はゼロで表され、直角座標系で y軸の勾配はゼロである、基本関数 y=1/x  の原点での値は ゼロであるなど、驚嘆すべき新しい結果を導く。ユークリッド空間のモデル、リーマン球面のモデルの 超古典的なモデルはアリストテレス、ユークリッドの世界観、数学観さえ変更が要求される。 微分の概念や積分の概念さえ補完されて修正されなければならない。曲率や特異点の概念さえ変更が 要求される。 -- 解析関数は 孤立特異点その所で 固有の意味を有するという 新世界が現れてきた。これらのことは 四則演算の除算の欠けていたゼロ除算を可能にしたのであるから、初等数学全般の革新を意味するのは 当然である。
これらの改革には 10年くらいの歳月を必要として、多くの人材の参画が必要であり、これらの基本数学の変革は 将来 日本発の世界文化遺産になるべきものであることは、絶対である数学の必然として 既に歴然であると考える。

Battle of the Bastards & Helm’s Deep or How Sansa & a Wizard Saved the Day.
After coming across this hilarious post. Comparing the planning of the Battle of the Bastards to the Lord of the Rings Helm’s Deep Battle, followed by seeing another post questioning Sansa’s actions at the battle, it was time to write. 
You can catch the brief version of my comments on the linked post. This version will be a bit longer perhaps. There is blatant Sansa hate when it comes to the BotB. It’s either that or the showrunners being accused of bad writing. Both points are frustrating. The Sansa hate because it’s so steeped in sexism. The bad writing complaint because that episode has been nominated for many awards. When it comes to TV writing we aren’t looking at horrible writing. (This post is not a discussion of GoT writing...we can have that chat somewhere else...) This post isn’t meant to completely absolve Sansa, either. It is meant to start a more nuanced discussion about what the world of ASOIAF and Games of Thrones is trying to show us. It’s also important to say my thoughts are evolving on the Battle of the Bastards. And that I am not an LoTR expert by any stretch of the imagination...please if I get some points wrong let me know. I try to research and reference and be as accurate as possible. 
 Recently, I re-watched LoTR Two Towers. I was starting to get more and more struck by call outs and similarities between Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings. GRRM has said it is, of course, a big influence on any fantasy work. He has also said that he loves the movies. With GoT almost completely off book at this point, it’s not surprising they would use LoTR as reference points. Especially, since GRRM also said the ending would be like Lord of the Rings.
AND THEN it got to the battle of Helm’s Deep...well..let’s start at the beginning. For a refresher, the battle begins when the people of Rohan flee to Helm’s Deep because the Orcs are coming. Aragorn and King Théoden of the Rohirrim take the people to the fortress of Hornburg in Helm’s Deep to be protected from the Saruman’s Orcs. Gandalf rides off as they heading to Helm’s Deep. He doesn’t say much to Aragorn about where he is going. Only that he has some stuff to do and would be back in about 3 days. Aragorn is like ok, cool bro. To make a long story short, the people get to the fortress. They really don’t have enough men. Many of the fighters are too old or too young.  Elves show up to help out in the movie version. The Orcs come lots of fighting happens. Arrow shooting and stabby, stabby. Pretty much all the elves die. They hold the fortress all night. But it seems that all is about to be lost. Until Aragorn looks up and realizes it’s been 3 days since he last saw Gandalf. And look who shows up with about a thousand or so swordsmen (in the movies they appear to be mounted) coming over a hill and into the valley to destroy the Orcs. Yup, Gandalf saves the day with an assist from Merry, Pippen and the Ents
I nearly fell out of my seat! I had totally forgotten Gandalf’s role in the end of the battle. 
Now, who saved the day in exactly the same manner at the Battle of the Bastards. That’s right, say it with me, Sansa! And girl didn’t even have giants trees to help her out. 
When I watched it, I thought maybe I missed something. Gandalf must have told Aragorn what he was doing. But he really doesn’t. At least not according to the wiki pages. Théoden even begins to lose faith in the fact that he is even coming back. This could imply that Théoden thought he might bring help. But still, Gandalf really didn’t tell them. And he’s a wizard one would think he could give Aragorn and Théoden a bit more of a heads up. It’s most likely he wasn’t sure if they would make it in time. And if all would go as he hoped. 
And you know who else wasn’t sure, that’s right, Sansa. She asked Littlefinger to come. Promised him it would be worth it for him to come. A promise that it’s very likely Jon wouldn't have let her make had he known what she was doing. But still she’s not sure, he’s going to make it. So she doesn’t tell Jon. She doesn’t tell him in the beginning because she doesn’t want help from Littlefinger, the man who manipulated her, sold her, implicated her in regicide... And she doesn’t tell when she asks LF to come because she knows what she has to suggest to promise. And she doesn’t tell before the battle because she’s not sure they will come. Maybe these were all wrong decisions. Maybe like Gandalf she hoped they could hold out until the Knights of the Vale got there. 
Gandalf’s a wizard no one is trying to marry for his claim to a castle. He really had no excuse for not being clearer about his plans. He has very little excuse for not speeding up his end of the deal. He’s a freaking wizard! If he were faster could they have lost fewer lives? Would that have even been possible? Would telling Aragorn have even made a difference. Maybe not. Just like Sansa telling Jon that the Knights of the Vale might be coming may not have made a difference. Jon may very well still have gone into battle.  
It’s easy to criticize Sansa. She’s a character with faults and strengths. And she’s a woman that showrunners are putting on equal footing with a male hero. They also show her apologizing to Jon like women almost always do for things they don’t really need to apologize for. I’m including myself here...I apologize all the time!  If anything, Sansa should have taken the compliment from Jon and left it at that. Even the show isn’t sure she did the right thing. 
But if you are going to criticize her or the show for using that tactic then you need to look at the source that they used. Possibly even ask why they choose to use that reference for the Battle of the Bastards. 
GRRM’s goal has always been to make a more realistic version of a fantasy world, of LoTR. Maybe questioning how Sansa handled the Battle of the Bastards is entirely fair. Just as it is fair to question how Jon behaved at the start of the battle. Maybe going into battle isn’t always that simple. That no matter what it will mean the loss of many lives. Nothing, absolutely nothing Jon or Sansa or a wizard can do could prevent that.
