#they did such a good job with the summoning I think about it constantly

[shuttershocky]

how do you feel about iori/saber so far by the way, whether as a ship or just their dynamic in general

I really like their dynamic!

While Iori and Saber themselves are full of callbacks to the original Shirou and Saber, their relationship dynamic is something that's all their own.

Usually a servant like FSR Saber would have belonged to a more emotional master. Saber starts the game out as an arrogant, destructive force and a bit of a bully, constantly going "Good grief my master's so weak! How did I get such a weak master when I can solo this whole thing? I should just kill everybody that gets in my way."

Rather than get upset or insecure however, Iori's humility and martial discipline ends up making a wall for Saber's arrogance to repeatedly bounce off of. When told he's weak, he goes "You are right. I don't fight because I'm strong, but because I should." When Saber talks down to him saying his presence doesn't change the outcome of a fight whatsoever, he just goes "I know. I'm doing the best I can."

This doesn't just eventually warm Saber up to him, but it also ends up creating the soul of their dynamic for the rest of the game. Saber's powerful, impulsive, and free in all their aspects, while Iori is measured, disciplined, and tied down (he's poor, he's an orphan, he's a warrior in an age of peace). This leads to fun gags like Saber having that classic Saber gluttony which wreaks havoc on Iori as a poor ronin living hand to mouth every day, but where this really shines is in how it makes its own twist in the original dynamic of Shirou and Saber.

Underneath Shirou and Saber's relationship was the recognition of themselves in the other. Both were willing to give up their entire lives for the greater good without once thinking of themselves, and seeing it in the other person horrified them because that was someone they cared about, while making a special exception for their own self-sacrifice.

In Samurai Remnant, Saber wonders how could such a weak human have summoned a servant as powerful as them, but the answer slowly becomes obvious as their relationship grows. Hiding underneath Saber's smug nature is a legend known for brutally killing anything and everything that stood in their way, whether that be armies, kings, monsters, or even gods. Why? What could compel a human to put a god to the sword just because they were ordered to? How broken and terrible inside must you be to see an aspect of divine power and feel no fear, only the desire to fight and to kill something that should be untouchable by a human?

The most delicious part of Iori and Saber's developing relationship is Saber slowly realizing that the bravery in Iori's eyes when he (literally) locks blades with a Servant is not bravery, but something much more familiar.

It should also be said that FSR Saber is one of the extremely few servants (if not the first even) to cry about the thought of leaving their Master after the ritual has ended.

Bittersweet goodbyes have been a mainstay of the series since Fate/Stay Night, but FSR is the first time in my memory that we see a Servant look back at the short, second life they've been given and actually break into tears about not wanting to go.

Going back to the throne of heroes would mean returning to legend. They'd be the bloodstained killer and godslayer. Unparalleled, feared, revered, and alone. Meanwhile in this incarnation, they run around doing odd jobs every day to afford rice, assumed by the neighbors to be the new fiance of the poor ronin that lives in a shack, destined to be forgotten by history like everyone around them living humble and ordinary lives. And now that they've tasted it, they don't want to go back. They've fallen in love with this life, and have to live out the rest of the Waxing Moon Ritual knowing they don't have a choice about going back.

It's soooooo good. Such a perfect capture of that vintage Type-Moon feeling, I'd almost forgotten this wasn't even written by TM themselves but by the Fire Emblem Three Houses team.

Has Naoya and Y/N ever been caught during the deed lol?

😏 why would you want to know that, hm? hoped they have? hehehhe lmao ignore me.

Ok so this actually gave me the best excuse to write a small follow up of what happened after this one-shot heheh. Call it a… Naoya and Y/N aren’t as smooth as they thought.

(but you’ll find another answer at the end of the drabble too 😊)

warnings: none. just the slightest mentions of nsfw. also this is a continuation of another oneshot so as needed I have to say MINORS DNI. mentions of pregnancy. a jealous manager. naoya defends what's his.

Happy reading!

It would happen just a few weeks later after that mission ended through a keenly attentive, not easily fooled manager who didn’t believe any of the words written down in the report.

They didn’t make sense, none of it did; but what was most infuriating is that everyone seemed to be ok with it!

And of course they would—the Zen’in heir probably paid his way out of it, just like he always does, and who would dare oppose him?!

Your manager, though, as if he wasn’t very much already, suspected there was something deeper going on. Far more than what the eye revealed between the two, which became nothing but clear for him when that transpired.

What did you even see in that wretched, egocentric, selfish, boring man? He’s done nothing but constantly belittle those around him with his grandiosity that wasn’t even his to being with! Given to him by those before!

It hurts him so much to see how hopelessly in love you are with Naoya, someone so kind and beautiful as you… that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to open your eyes to the truth, even if that were to greatly humiliate you.

And so, after slowly, diligently, for days and days on end, examining the report and place you both allegedly cleared of all curses, he comes to the shocking, albeit slightly disgusting conclusion that something more transpired there.

An insult to the protocol you both swore to abide as sorcerers, as well as a transgression to his yet-to-be disclosed feelings for you.

One that he did not hesitate to inform to the higher ups, those that initially didn’t care much for it, thinking it to be nothing but senseless gossip, until he reminded them that this could easily be used as a way to blackmail the Zen’in—imagine the outrage from the community if they were to hear of the unruly relationship between the heir, and you, though coming from a respected family, was still considered a lesser sorcerer to their standards?!

He wished to not cause you any pain, but it’s only through this method that you’ll understand why Naoya was not good for you. Nothing compared to what he can provide, if only you’d let him.

Something meant to happen when summoned by HQ to be interrogated, alongside relatives and fellow sorcerers that wished to see if the rumors circulating the two were true.

“Care to explain what truly happened in the mission?” One of the higher ups would speak, eyes directly set on you, the one firstly responsible for the job.

“I—I’ve written it in the report, there’s nothing else to say.” You quickly respond, doing your best to hide the tremor in your voice, well aware that your lies had been discovered yet hoping they truly hadn’t. “Unless you wished a detailed explanation of… something else…?”

“The truth.” Another insists. “Do not act like you don’t know what we’re talking about—we have enough evidence to dictate otherwise!”

“But—But nothing happened! I just miscalculated the presence of a curse, but I fixed it afterwards! The place is safe to be inhabited again!” you gasp. “I know there’s a discrepancy in the hours in between but it was nothing that—”

“There shouldn’t have been a discrepancy to begin with!” The first one adds. “What exactly were you two doing during the mission?!”

“She’s told you already, it was only a slight miscal—” Naoya interjects, only to be shot down immediately after.

“This is for her to answer!”

“I—I don’t have anything else to say—” you stammer, growing desperate at their relentless insistence, feeling like you were being effectively cornered with no foreseeable escape…

Which would have been almost true, if they hadn’t irked Naoya in more ways than one, beginning from this useless summon, their belittlement of you, and now, their interruption when he spoke.

Naoya was never one to accept offences towards himself or anything that pertained to him, regardless of who it came from…

Perhaps it was time to remind them of who truly held power here.

“But I do.” Naoya frowns, taking a step forward and looking them in the eye, preparing himself to state the new course of your and his life. “The reason why we took longer than anticipated was because I proposed to her. I’m going to marry Y/N.”

“What?!” Your manager is the first to squeak, followed by the gasps of those present at the meeting and confusion from the higher ups.

“We kept this relationship a secret because honestly, it is no one’s business to know of it.” Naoya proceeded, now taking your hand. He feels the uncertainty in your skin, the fear of disclosing an aspect kept secret until now…

Yet, his company reassures you that even though this was not the way either envisioned revealing their relationship, he is not ashamed to do so. Assert was his heart had been dreaming of… as well as offer a distraction from the lapsed that occurred during the mission.

Although for the last…  speckled with a bit of exaggeration.

“And she’s pregnant too. So, you’d do good to not refer to the mother, and my wife, of the future Zen’in heir in such crude manner!”

And with that, Naoya’s purpose becomes true, with the notion of the outrageous mission tossed out the window and effectively replaced with the unexpected news of your new civil status, what it meant for the L/N, the Zen’in, as well as the supposed pregnancy that officially united both.

Your manager was beyond enraged that his plan not only failed but paved the way for his worst nightmares to become real—though that is something he wouldn’t have to worry about anymore, Naoya having quickly labeled him as the responsible behind this ridiculous endeavor and promptly got… rid of him.

Besides, it’s not like you’ll have much use for him either way, for your attention will solely remain on him from that point forward.

And perhaps something else…

“Well, it’s a good thing we managed to get out of that one alive.” Naoya says, now that it’s not necessary to hide your relationship with him, he finds comfort in walking through the halls of his alma mater while holding your hand. “Though it’s a shame of how it came to be…”

“I suspected this might’ve happened, but that doesn’t mean I was expecting half of the jujutsu community to be there…” you silently admit, still battling through the shame and sorrow this situation brought you. “At least I won’t have to worry about how I’ll tell my family about it!”

“I’m more worried about the pregnancy I had to lie about so they’d leave us alone.” Naoya laments, a part of him… hoping it wasn’t the case. “However we proceed from here, it’s bound to have some… outrageous responses.”

Thankfully, his prayers might just be heard.

“Actually… it might’ve not been a total lie…”

Naoya stops on his tracks, eyes widening as he turns to see you.

“Y/N?” he murmurs, unwilling to be fooled on, unless…?

Your smile tells him everything.

“I fear that the pill might’ve not worked as properly as we hoped.” You continue. “So, you were not that far off when saying I was pregnant…”

“Are you being truthful right now?” Naoya breathes. “Or is this a ploy to—”

“Why would I do that?” you pout before giggling. “I want this baby as much as you do!”

“Then you’ve made me the happiest man in the world.” He immediately admits, taking you into his arms before lifting you for a kiss. “I can’t believe it, a baby of our own!”

“Well, believe it!” you grin. “But what are we going to do about the wedding…? I hoped to get married before getting pregnant…”

“We’ll have to do it quick. Preferably before your stomach begins to show.”

“…And before nothing fits me anymore.” You lament.

“You’ll look delectable either way.” He playfully incites, you pout once more. Naoya laughs as he pinches your cheek. “My wife.”

“Husband.” You smile back, leaning into his hand. “And soon, daddy.”

“Don’t say that, unless you don’t mind being caught here too.”

“Ugh no, let’s go home.” You say, not batting an eye as you pull him to the exit, hoping to leave all this behind and focus on the congratulations your family (and some of Naoya’s) have in order, as well as the preparations for your new, loving life next to your beloved husband.

And Naoya happily obliges, a bright, wide grin on his face caused by the satisfaction a home with you signifies.

Ok so... I have to say, they hadn't been caught per say, because everyone knows when they're doing it. Like, it's not a secret—they're loud. Especially in paper thin walls as the ones at the Zen'in estate.

However, let's say that the innocent ones, the distracted, new members of the staff might've gotten quite the surprise the first time they heard about this. Maybe even stumbled upon them... who knows? 😏 Actually something just crossed my mind. I'll write about it later.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this small, nobody-asked sequel for that one particular oneshot! I've had this thing on my mind for a while, how everyone would eventually know of their relationship. Just as Y/N said, one less thing to worry about.

Thank you so much for sending in this ask!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend, take care, and hope to see you soon!!

Anonymous: Hello sunshine, i hope you're doing great! Sorry if I'm disturbing you, but may i request Lady Dimitrescu with a s/o who she divorced, but the sexual tension and love is still around them. And at the end (With help of the daughters) they get back together. Something like lovers to enemies to lovers again, with a little angst but not too much please. :D

I like this! I’m making this a three part series. This one’s angsty so heads up! Let’s get into it!

Alcina and you had been so in love. She was always so excited when you would come home and tell her about your day.

You couldn’t believe Alcina had fallen for you. She was like a goddess and you wanted to pamper her and let her know how amazing she was.

You had been married for a few years and it seemed like everything in your life had fit so perfectly. You even gained three new daughters.

Things were good… Until they weren’t.

Alcina had started being very closed off around you. She would quickly break free of your shared embraces and she started talking to you less and less.

A few weeks after this new aloof behavior from Alcina, you had gently confronted her about it.

You tried to play it off as a joke at first. “What’s wrong, you sick of me already?” You laughed, but the smile didn’t reach your eyes.

Alcina merely hummed distractedly as she went about her nightly routine.

You quickly decided to drop the subject. You were terrified that if you kept pushing, you would find out that Alcina was losing interest in you.

You were always deeply insecure about your relationship status with Alcina, however, you never felt like you could confide in her about this. You thought that she might take it as an insult or think that this was your way of telling her she hadn’t done a good job at making you feel loved. You felt like this was your problem to deal with and yours alone.

You had internalized your lack of self-confidence so much that, as you look back on it, you had started to feel resentment towards Alcina. How could she possibly love you? How dare she try to justify being with someone like you?

It wasn’t healthy, but you had repressed it to the point that you hadn’t even realized how truly horrible you felt, constantly.

During this time, you started feeling jealous of people who came in contact with Alcina. You would grill them about their motives and Alcina would get angry at your possessiveness.

Tension was building between the two of you. After a while of dealing with your festering self-hatred, you started drinking to ease your worries. Often, to the point of blacking out and not remembering heated discussions and arguments with Alcina.

Little did you know, but Alcina was dealing with her own insecurities. She felt like she was incapable of giving you what you needed.

During a particularly bad fight, Alcina pulled your ring off of her finger and threw it on the ground. “I don’t want you anymore.” She sneered. “You’re clearly more broken than I realized!”

Your eyes blazed in fury and you began trying to defend yourself.

Alcina yelled and told you to pack your things and go.

You felt like a knife had been plunged into your heart.

All of the smart-ass comebacks that would have felt so satisfying to sling back at Alcina, remained unsaid and left a bitter taste on your tongue.

You wordlessly grabbed your few belongings and left the castle.

Once you were gone, Alcina brought a hand to her face and sobbed. She didn’t hate you, but she felt that you both had grown too far apart. She needed time to think and decide her next steps. She still loved you, but maybe the relationship was coming to an end. It made her sick to think that she hadn’t been a good wife to you. Maybe you were better off without her after all.

You decided to stay with Sal while you figured things out. It was peaceful to go fishing in the reservoir and take your mind off of things.

After a few weeks of staying with Sal, you got a summons to Castle Dimitrescu. A note had shown up with little more than a time for you to be there. No personality or pleasantries to be found. It was not Alcina’s handwriting either. You had a bad feeling about this.

You arrived at the castle and tried to shake off the nerves. You went to open the door, but you remembered that you did not live here anymore and didn’t have the right to come and go as you pleased. You winced at this realization, but nervously swallowed and knocked on the door.

A maid, who you did not recognize, opened the door with a blank face and murmured for you to follow her to Alcina’s study.

As you walked through the hallways, various maids would stop and give you sad looks. Did they know something you didn’t?

Once you reached Alcina’s study, your heart rate kicked up a few beats when you saw her.

Alcina was standing next to her desk with her arms crossed. She had made the decision to end things. She decided that it was in your best interest to not be involved with her anymore. She had a pensive look on her face, but once she saw you, she looked away.

Before you had a chance to speak, Alcina beat you to it. “I need you to sign some paperwork.”

She didn’t even look at you.

Alcina turned to the maid who had led you here and she quickly left. Alcina took some papers off of her desk and brought them over to you. You felt sick.

You shakily took the paperwork and read something you had only seen in nightmares. “Separation Agreement” Was emblazoned on the front and your vision became hazy. You stared at the documents for a few moments and Alcina huffed in annoyance. Why couldn’t you understand that she was doing this to protect you?

You tasted hot metal and you felt your face heat up. This was the most humiliating thing you had ever been through.

“So, you’re divorcing me? Just like that?” You said through gritted teeth.

Alcina clenched her jaw but said said nothing.

You wanted to burst into tears, but you refused to do so in Alcina’s presence. You angrily grabbed a pen and scrawled your name across the bottom. You chuckled bitterly. “Wow, I always knew you were petty, but this is a new low even for you, Alcina.”

The sting of rejection cut you deep and you wished the ground would swallow you up. Your self-righteous anger soon turned into despair as you thought about life without your one true love.

Alcina brought a hand to her face and you realized she was wiping tears from her eyes.

Alcina felt just as heartbroken as you. “Just go, Y/N.” She said.

Her voice broke and you wanted to reach out and comfort her, but knew that wasn’t your place anymore.

You sighed and stiffly turned around. You couldn’t do anything to fix this now. “Goodbye, Alcina.” You sadly offered.

Once you walked out of the room, Alcina began sobbing. It was the worst sound you had ever heard. You wanted to run back in, but thought better of it.

As you slowly made your way downstairs, Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela swarmed in front of you.

Bela spoke first. “I’m sorry, Y/N.” She teared up and went to hug you.

You opened your arms to her and she buried her face in your neck.

Daniela followed suit, wordlessly. She had tears streaming down her face as she nuzzled closer to you.

You looked over to Cassandra who was nervously biting her lip. You held out your hand to her and she reached out to take it before suddenly stopping.

“You’re going to let us come see you, right?” She asked, uncharacteristically anxious.

You felt pain in your heart when you learned that Cassandra thought you might abandon them.

“Of course. Every day if you want.” You assured.

Cassandra let out out a shaky breath in relief. She couldn’t bear the thought of not being able to visit you.

She took your hand and squeezed it gently. She didn’t feel comfortable hugging you in front of her sisters. You smiled and knew this was her way of saying she loved you.

“I love all three of you. Never forget that, okay?” You said.

The three of them nodded and reluctantly let go of you.

You gave them one last look before smiling half-heartedly and leaving.

The next few months were going to be hell.

Second prompt fill for @beril66! Let's have a little fun with this one XD

"Please hold me" for Trazyn/Orikan

###

Solemnace was a planet constantly perched on the precipice of disaster. The wrong stasis breach or mechanical malfunction could spell instant doom for the great museum world. Ashkut faced that reality each day as Solemnace’s Royal Warden. But if Overlord Trazyn decided in his wisdom to house every possible superweapon, demi-god, and monstrosity in the galaxy in once collection, it was Ashkut’s job to ensure he and Solemnace survived the process.

Sometimes he simply wished the job was easier.

The planet’s alarm system alerted Ashkut that there was unusual activity deep within the galleries. Not the display areas, but the “stacks” as the crypteks called the network of storage rooms and study areas near the planet’s inert core. What alarm did not tell him was what kind of unusual activity he might face. 

Ashkut summoned a company of immortals to accompany him down the labyrinthine hallways. Perhaps he was being overly cautious. The alert might be nothing. Intruders did not make it this far without Lord Trazyn’s approval—whether or not they knew they had it. Most likely it was a stasis field failure causing the planet to think there was an intruder where there was only a loose exhibit, which more likely than not was harmless. He thanked all the stars they were nowhere near the tyranid wing.

As he turned a corner he stopped short. Two figures stood before a door, arguing in hushed tones. The first was Sannet, nervously rubbing his fingers together. The other was the Huntmaster, who turned towards the warden and his retinue.

“Ah, warden. Perfect timing,” Huntmaster said. “We need a vote to break the tie.”

“Tie?” Ashkut looked between the two fellow members of Solmnace’s court, alarm glyph still flashing in the corner of his vision. “What is going on here?”

Sannet pointed a shaking hand at the door.  “Lord Trazyn is inside.” 

“Alright,” Ashkut replied slowly.

“He isn’t alone,” Sannet stammered.

That wasn’t exactly unusual. Lord Trazyn occasionally showed people his collection. How willing they were to view it varied, but it was hardly a danger.

Huntmaster jerked his thumb towards the room. “The Diviner’s in there with him.”

“WHAT?” Ashkut roared. “And you two are just standing there?”

He moved to shove past the two fools, but Huntmaster grabbed his shoulder. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. We heard clanging.”

“Clanging,” Ashkut repeated, trying to figure out how that could possibly be relevant when his lord was currently stuck alone in a room with his mortal enemy.

“Clanging,” Huntmaster confirmed, as if that explained anything.

“It could have been a fight,” Sannet said. “Or…”

“Or not a fight,” Huntmaster said.

“Or that.” Sannet shuddered. “But still, we should check!”

“There’s been no call for aid.”

“That could mean Lord Trazyn is in danger and unable to summon any!” Sannet cried.

“Good point. After you then.” Huntmaster extended his arm. Sannet did not move.

Ashkut snapped, “What are you two talking about?” 

Huntmaster tilted his head. “Why warden, I did not think you were so naive. Has no one explained amorous affairs? They can get awfully noisy. I also feel obliged to tell you that typically those engaged prefer not to be disturbed.”

“Are you two trying to tell me that you know Lord Trazyn is inside that room, with a well established enemy, and you two are standing here doing nothing because you cannot decide if they are fighting or….” Ashkut stared at the cryptek and the deathmark in disbelief. “Have you not scried the room?”

“Disabled.” Huntmaster shrugged.

“We did hear something break,” Sannet offered.

“Well there you have it!” Ashkut said. “Lord Trazyn would never allow an artifact on Solemnace to be damaged.”

“That’s the storage room for spare Astartes helmets,” Huntmaster pointed out. “Even his lordship knows he could stand to lose a few of those.”

Ashkut shook his head. “Enough of this. You two may be content to stand out here bickering and neglecting your duties, but I am not.” 

He grabbed each one by the shoulder and pulled them apart, clearing the way to the plain, sliding door. He supposed he should not be too harsh with Sannet. Orikan the Diviner’s last intrusion on Solemnace had nearly ended with Sannet torn apart by a hive tyrant. It was only natural the old curator would not want to run into him again. Ashkut had nearly been killed at the astromancer’s hands himself, but that was no excuse not to face him if he threatened Solemnace or its overlord.

Although on the off chance Huntmaster was right, Ashkut left the immortals behind as he commanded the door to open.

The storage room was dark, lined with shelf upon shelf of astartes helmets in every imaginable color. Ashkut could not see the end of them. He stepped forward and drew his warscythe from its dimensional sheath, letting its glow light his path.

His foot hit something solid. A helmet, knocked from its place. There were more littering the floor before him. Ashkut increased the energy flow to his perception suite. Then he heard it. A definite…clanging sound. Ashkut ran towards it, keeping his tread light. He wanted to keep the element of surprise should he need it.

When he rounded a corner he again saw two figures. Though it took him a moment to realize it was in fact two and not one mass of metal. Limbs tangled together, nodes flashed, and loose tiles torn from mantles fell to the floor.

“Bastard,” hissed an unmistakable voice. One of Orikan’s claws raked across his Trazyn’s back, rending his cloak and leaving a shallow gash in the necrodermis below. The warden gripped his weapon tighter.

“Now Orikan.” Trazyn hoisted the cryptek up and shoved him against the wall. “Is that any way to speak to your host?”

Ashkut prepared to charge.

“I want to hear you ask nicely.”

Ashkut paused.

Orikan’s legs wrapped around Trazyn’s waist. Trazyn pressed him harder against the wall, holding him in place as his tail curled around one of the overlord’s legs. Beyond that, Ashkut could not see, but he did hear a noise that he could only liken to a poor quality recording of an animal in heat.

“Please,” Orikan groaned.

“Better, love. Please what?”

“Touch me.”

“Of course.”

“Please, hold me.”

Ashkut suddenly felt the need to check if the ambient temperature in the room had risen.

An interstitial alert appeared in the corner of his vision. He would have ignored it, had it not been appended with Lord Trazyn’s personal seal.

“I am quite sure,” the overlord’s voice said in Ashkut’s head. “That I am currently alone with my guest. But if I turn around and find that we are not alone, whoever I see will be permanently reassigned to cleaning the slaugth exhibit. Do I make myself clear?”

The royal warden believed he managed to break some land speed record in his haste to vacate the room. 

When the door slid shut behind him, he was met with two expectant monoculars.

“Lord Trazyn is entertaining a guest,” he said, refusing to meet either of their gazes. “He is not to be disturbed.”

The immortals thankfully continued to stare forward without any comprehension of what was going on. Ashkut envied them. As he marched away he heard Huntmaster nudging Sannet in the ribs.

“I told you so.”

In that moment, Ashkut was sure he became the first necron in history to develop a migraine.

Danger Force Head canons

(If you recognize these it’s bc I posted them before I accidentally DELETED MY ENTIRE BLOG😭)

Bose calls Henry to talk about his parental problems a lot

Mika does her own hair and occasionally does Miles’ too

Sometimes Miles and Mika have to sleep in the same room to ensure they’re both still there and okay

Miles has multiple places only he knows about and that he occasionally teleports to just to get some time away

Bose occasionally has trouble setting boundaries leading to the others’ unintentionally hurting him

In the opposite direction Chapa occasionally preemptively sets too many boundaries causing the others to accidentally exclude her

Miles runs late to things a lot of the time because he constantly thinks, “It’ll only take me a second to get there!” even if he’s meant to already be there

Mika drinks tea almost every night to soothe her throat preemptively

Chapa makes most of her own clothes but Miles can sew better than she can

Mika struggles to meet the expectations she has set for herself, often leading to burnout and breakdowns

Miles often struggles with how his interpersonal values conflict with beating up criminals all the time

Due to going to school together and fighting crime together all four kids quickly become codependent

Chapa sometimes has to spend hours or days to herself just to get away from all the stress being a superhero causes

Bose was the first of them to get seriously hurt on a mission, forcing him on bed rest for a week, and off active field duty for at least a month

It was the first time the others really realized that one day this job may kill them

A few villains retired after Kid Danger “died” and more are extra careful with how they treat Danger Force, just in case

As the kids get older they spend a lot of time making up on the schoolwork they missed when they were younger

As the kids get older they get more and more disillusioned with the whole superhero gimmick

They all quit being sidekicks like Henry did although at different times

Miles quits first, deciding he’s ready for a more peaceful approach

Chapa quits next, feeling constrained by Ray and like she’s ready to be an adult

Bose leaves after her, more peacefully than the other two but not without at least one screaming match

Mika lasts the longest but eventually has to leave to go to college and live her life

Ray often wonders if taking in more sidekicks was truly a good idea

Schwoz loves the kids as though they’re his own

He often gives them money (that he may or may not have taken from Ray) to allow them to go out like normal teenagers

If Bose overuses his powers he can get migraines occasionally resulting in nose bleeds and on the worst days nausea

The first time it happened he threw up and fainted

It was terrifying for everyone to witness

If Mika overuses her powers she loses her voice for about a week and can’t super scream for even longer

The overuse will make her throat swell as well, causing her to have difficulty breathing

It’s extremely painful and the only thing the others can do is give her medicine and make her soothing drinks

When Miles overuses his powers he gets extreme vertigo.

He’s also often nauseous making it near impossible to move.

It’s disconcerting and no one's ever sure how long it will last.

When Chapa overuses her powers her hands and other extremities go numb

I think Zoya was a good soldier overall, not quite there as a leader but as a soldier, she was essential enough for Aleksander to want to manipulate her. He doesn't just employe 4-5 the post powerful grishasTM, he has an entire army at his command so him wanting Zoya who is strong physically (power wise) and also is herself good at manipulating people too to be on his side is a smart decision really.

Gods, I really have to disagree with all of this.

She wasn't a good soldier, since that one is expected to obey without questioning. Decision making is their superior's job. Show Zoya disobeyed on the skiff, book Zoya while hunting "her" amplifier. In both cases she was jealous of Alina enough to "magically" attack her at training grounds, although soldier should recognize another's strategic importance. What if she cracked Alina's skull in some unfortunate way? Dead Sun Summoner, and useless amplified Squaller offended that daddy doesn't love her the best.

I'd also love to see that manipulation. Sure, she "remembers" the Darkling told her the exactly same sentence he told Alina, but to be fair- she's lying about other stuff too, and why would he tell an ordinary, albeit promising, Squaller they're going to change the world?! How many of those did he meet in his long, long life?! Nah, Zoya's re-writing other events (slaughter of "Second Army") we had the chance to witness, of course the man she was looking up to just HAD TO notice her too! The girl has daddy issues so grand her next target is a fucking dragon. And unless LB retcons the hell out of it, Zoya should pay for her lack of growth by her own body and mind.

The Darkling is also described to be constantly on the move, while Zoya was about a year out of school, and stationed at the Fold. Not much contact if you ask me, and even when studying in Little Palace- how likely is it that Aleksander will make more time for Zoya than the fucking Sun Summoner?! He talked to Alina like once a month max., and most of those were a combination of unplanned meeting and him being happy to run away from his nagging mother. I know people like to throw around the word "manipulation", but a good one-on-one manipulation requires time and contact. Especially if you want to be certain of the result.

I also cannot remeber a single example of Zoya being good in it?! She's about as subtle as a rock through a glass window, she can't even fake being interested in negotiations with people she doesn't like! How is she supposed to act sneakily and hide her true intentions in such a delicate matter?!

If you asked me why did the Darkling "favour" her, he saw powerful Grisha with strong need to prove herself, able to gain enough skill to be worth officer training. Time would show her best use in practice, but so far she's too rash for leadership and too careless for closer cooperation. The Fold was a safe option. Her enemy is pretty straightforward- volcra, if anything. I also wouldn't risk her near the front or borders in general, and certainly not anywhere near more "delicate" positions. I certainly wouldn't call her "essential". That was Ivan. Genya even. Likely other characters we've never been introduced, because we've never seen his side and inner workings of an actual Second Army.

I had a chat with my friend about Naruto teachers' incompetence. And it's actually really sad when you think about it

We're all always joking about naruto knowing only three jutsu (excluding talk-no-jutsu since it's not exactly a ninja art) but has anyone ever tried to teach him more? He's had so many teachers - Iruka, Kakashi, Ebisu, Jiraiya, Asuma - and yet all of them only taught him one or two things each?

Iruka: two of the three basic academy jutsu. He was an academy teacher, that was his job, and he did it quite well considering how many students he had.

Kakashi: tree-walking and mixing rasengan with wind nature chakra.

Ebisu: water-walking. He was a one time teacher and he did his job great. He even explained to Naruto some theory in a way he would understand.

Jiraiya: summoning, a little bit of controling the kyuubi's chakra

Asuma: basics of wind nature chakra - just what Naruto asked him to explain.

How is it, that f.e. Jiraiya, who had Naruto as his ONLY student for three years, only taught him two things?

It was extremely disappointing watching the first few episodes of Shippuden, thinking that Naruto became a stronger, badass ninja, and seeing him using the same jutsu in exactly the same way as before, just with more chakra.

Also, let's go back to the team 7 as a whole. Before the time skip, out of the whole team, only Sasuke got some kind of education from Kakashi. He didn't even give them any advice on what should they do next, what should they try. He just let them be and then nominated them to the chuunin exams.

That could be of course explained that learning a new jutsu takes a lot of time and effort and he just didn't have time to teach them anything more in the little time he spent as their teacher. But in that situation, Sasuke, even as a genius, would have never learn chidori in a month. Or Naruto a rasengan in a week. It was just the teachers not doing anything.

And don't tell me that the kids just didn't ask, because they did. Naruto constantly asked everyone if they would teach him "some cool jutsu". And if you're expecting a 12 yo to be more specific about their career choices, then let's be honest, that would just be plain unrealistic.

What I mean by all that is: while Jiraiya and Kakshi were good emotional support for their students, they were absolutely sh*t at being teachers.

Thank you for reading my essay!

Magic Headcanons for the Papas

Part 3: Terzo

Part 1 | Part 2

Of all his brothers, he uses magic the most.

Now just saying that might make it sound like he’s just constantly shooting lightning out of his hands all Willy Nilly.

That isn’t entirely wrong but not nearly as much as you might think.

Because Terzo has two schools that he’s the best at: Evocation and Conjuration.

Evocation- magic focusing on the elements -is surprisingly useful for every-day life: lighting small fires, minor blessings, most forms of healing, creating magical light, sending short messages, that kind of stuff.

It just also so happens to be the type of magic that lets you shoot lightning from your hands and set fire to your enemies. Which Terzo does not get to indulge in nearly as much as he’d like. He does get to show off to his ghouls, though. We’ll get more to that in a sec.

Conjuration- magic that create or summons matter and energy -is a little less practical in every day life, but is extremely useful for his job as Papa.

For example, one of the more difficult forms of Conjuration is teleportation. The Abbey is a pretty damn big building to be able to hold the chapel, the offices, the dorms for siblings, the ghoul’s quarters, the ritual rooms, the library, you get the picture. Of course, you can walk from place to place, but when you have a meeting on one side of the Abbey and another on the other with, like, a 10 minute gap in between the two? Being able to just zoop to the right place immediately is extremely convenient, especially when you’re already emotionally exhausted and need a break.

It’s not always 100% accurate, however. There have been times where Terzo missed the mark and ended up crashing inside a storage room next to where he needed to be, having to put himself together right before walking in to meet the clergymen that definitely heard everything. Luckily he’s got enough charm to brush it off. Most of the time.

Conjuration is also the type of magic required for the ghoul summoning ritual, along with other demon summonings and seances. Terzo is uncannily good at it. They didn’t even know that was a ritual one could be good at; it was practically law that summonings are some of the hardest rituals to do and require a ridiculous amount of time and energy to perform. In most casual cases, these problems are surmounted by the addition of multiple casters, however a Papa is supposed to summon all his own ghouls himself, at least to start with. It normally takes a lot of time to do and results in exhaustion on the part of the Papa, hell- even Primo struggled when he did it. Meanwhile, Terzo’s record for fastest ghoul summon unassisted was Aether at a whopping 5 minutes.

The working theory for how this is possible is that his natural affiliation with evocation makes him more in touch with those creatures of elemental alignment down below. What’s more, his skill with the elements helped him understand and get to know his ghouls on a level that hadn’t been seen before. Sure, Primo was cordial with his and Secondo had a favorite or two (not that he’d admit it), but Terzo was the first Papa to become part of his ghouls’ pack.

Also, fun fact, but Terzo was the one to perform Dewdrop’s elemental realignment ritual. At first he was staunchly against the idea, but when he realized that Sister was gonna push it no matter what and that the alternatives were likely much worse, he finally agreed. Before the ritual, Dew admitted that “if it had to be anyone, I’m glad it’s you. I know you’ll make sure I’m alright

(In the canon where he and the rest of the previous papas are killed, the assassination happened while Dew was still early in the recovery stage and wasn’t quite lucid yet, meaning this was one of the last things he told Terzo before he died. Dew thinks about that conversation a lot and what he would of said had he known it would be the last time he’d see his Papa.)

Terzo’s magic is the least subtle of his brothers, sounding like rolls of thunder in the surrounding area- the more powerful the spell, the louder the crack of thunder. It doesn’t emanate form Terzo himself, which can give him some plausible deniability, but when you hear thunder round the Abbey and the weather forecast is all sunny skies, it’s pretty easy to put two and two together. No one complains all that much, though- it really adds to the spooky aesthetic they’re going for. Besides, who doesn’t love a little drama?

When his magic is visible, it takes on the appearance of electricity arcing through the air. We’ve all seen From The Pinnacle to the Pit, man’s is flashy as fuck. What can I say? It’s in his nature.

While all the Emeritus brothers are skilled at combative magic to some extent, Terzo is the most proficient of them, closely followed up by Primo. I mean, again, man shoots lightning from his hands, are we surprised?

You see there is a show called “kaijudo”

The show is about 3 kids discovering a secret world of monsters which they can summon to battle with them but they have to keep it a secret from the human world while they are advice and teach by their teachers which show them the rules, powers and world building

Why am I mentioning this? Because this show does the “magical partner” and “order of guardians” tropes better than miraculous

First is how the magical creature and kid actually bond and teach other of their different worlds and help each other grow

For example the main character and he’s monster bound over having two races and being discriminated for that, Then there’s the girl which showcases how she always try’s to defend the weak with her monsters always showing to being the most shy and passive till they aren’t and the smart guy which bounds with he’s monsters on their knowledge and personality’s

But in miraculous all kwamis but plagg act the same and there’s never a clash between the practically godly creatures and the user, for example in kaijudo the main character and he’s monster partner at first we’re always clashing and discussing or didn’t know how to bound but with time they learned how to respect each other and become best friends. But in Miraculous all the kwamis are basically baby’s and very sweet when is canonical how plagg has killed more than millions of humans but also killed billions of dinosaurs for stupid reasons yet the kwamis are shown has pure. And that brings to the next topic I wanna talk about

The guardians of the Miraculous rules don’t make sense. In kaijudo is made obvious since the beginning why humans and monsters shouldn’t talk with each other (we are even shown a character which got bitten off two fingers for trying to touch one) and is repeatedly shown how the two species don’t understand each other or how some monsters act like animals while others like thinking creatures, so the “no touching or bounding” rule makes sense since this things are hard to control and lethal. But with Miraculous they just kinda exist but their rules which forbid kwami and used to bound are stupid, kwamis have shown signs of intellect and is been shown how you can force them to even stop speaking so the “not bounding” rule or “not letting the kwamis out” doesn’t make much sense

Also in kaijudo the masters are constantly helping, teaching and getting into the plot because thats their job, but master fu and Su-Han have done nothing but giving stupid rules like “you two shall never know each other’s identity’s” and that sucks because Su-Han did nothing when ladybug lose all of the miraculous and just saying “yes ladybug I’m wrong and you are perfect” when ladybug has been in the wrong and su-han in the right on almost all of the times they’ve faced each!!! Kaijudo has a lot of better things (and it actually looks a bit like a anime instead of pretending like miraculous) so I suggest you to watch it to see how magical partners and secret guardians can be done well because dear god the order of the guardians of the miraculous (awful name by the way, is too long) is of the worst guardians of secret artifacts I’ve ever seen

That sounds like a good show. I'll see if I can catch a few episodes.

can you expand on rhaenyra's maladaptive relationships

re: this post

Sure! So this is book canon obviously, but Rhaenyra as a child is described as precocious, bright, appropriately socialized, and we see that she's able to adapt to life after her mother who doted on her passed away (excited about a tourney, being involved in her father's second marriage celebrations). She does well at her job as a cupbearer. All good and normal development.

A few years following Viserys I's marriage to Alicent Hightower, we find that she has become intensely attached to Criston Cole (only had eyes for him) despite being mocked for it by Alicent and having other suitors. She grows up in a court where grown noblefolk whisper against her claim & she knows it. Dresses dramatically to make a statement due to the breakdown in communication between her and Alicent/Viserys, she's also seemingly unable to bond with her siblings. When Daemon returns to King's Landing, Rhaenyra is adamant that he stay, and whatever happened between them it's clear that she at least strongly attached herself to him. This is all intense stuff, her all or nothing attitude to relationships, & the result of growing up in a less than united home where her place was uncertain.

I wouldn't call Rhaenyra's triangle with Laenor & Harwin maladaptive today, but for the time period it is a bit of malicious compliance. Viserys orders her to get married, claim her seat on Dragonstone, and multiply? No problem *has 3 kids with Harwin* (best boys in the world btw). Harwin is at least somewhat emotionally entangled there, rumored to be by her side in the birthing chambers and spending his time at her keep despite being heir to Harrenhal, but Rhaenyra's feelings for him are conspicuously absent. So was it love? A bit of a fuck you? A nervous latching onto Harwin? Maybe some of each.

Rhaenyra does have nervous ticks & anxiety as well, ofc.

Her bodice often glittered with pearls and diamonds, and there were always rings on her fingers. Whenever she was anxious, she would turn them compulsively, round and round. Though Rhaenyra could be charming, she was quick to anger and never forgot a slight. --SSM

Anxiety, anger issues, basically maladaptive behaviors that indicate all the uncertainty of her position in the realm & in her family taking a toll on her.

Daemon is obviously the most intense relationship of them all; even after claiming Dragonstone Rhaenyra always kept him close and Laena dies it's implied they fall into bed with each other very fast. Part of a pattern where Rhaenyra never stays single long (in general periods when people go through romantic/sexual partners in rapid succession aren't during the most stable moments in their lives). A fear of being alone doesn't mean she doesn't love her partners but it presents a question mark

Daemon is a combination of everything--her family like Viserys, her husband like Laenor, her lover like Harwin, their shared grief over Laena. This is a headcanon but I think Daemon knows all that & that Rhaenyra and Daemon had a push-pull thing with control. Rhaenyra sending Daemon to kill Vaemond Velaryon. Daemon sleeping with Mysaria under her nose. Rhaenyra saying it's fine cause she's busy ruling. Daemon taking vengeance for Lucerys into his own hands in a very... flashy manner. Rhaenyra summoning him whenever she had a need. She did that back-and-forth before with Viserys as well, considering that Viserys was constantly giving her & Alicent gifts/honors etc to appease them, as proof of his love.

King Viserys loved both his wife and daughter, and hated conflict and contention. He strove all his days to keep the peace between his women, and to please both with gifts and gold and honors. --F&B: Heirs of the Dragon

There's a lot said about her stress-eating once she takes the throne, isolating herself in the Red Keep, having her children at her side 24/7 after losing several sons, her sudden flip in trust in the dragonseeds when Mysaria advises her to and is once of the only councilors left to her (which probably led Rhaenyra to placing more trust in her that she should have). In case I haven't stressed it enough, Rhaenyra doesn't do well alone! She relies on her supporters because she learned to at a young age, is hypersensitive to the thought of losing them, and has explosive reactions to betrayal.

It's not that any of these things are 'unreasonable,' it's just that they're all learned behaviors that are not random nor do they arise for no reason. Rhaenyra is a survivor, with all that implies. Her story very much reflects that.

An Allay Revamp

Alright, I've mentioned I have issues with allays, some of them being nitpicky, and some of them being common complaints. Lets rapidfire address them. FYI, I am a big allay fan, they're super duper cute and i love the idea of using them for item collection for slightly less efficient but more whimsical farms :3 Issues: -Noteblocks dont really work as a "home block" because they have to be constantly (every 30 seconds) activated, and the whole "musical base" idea doesnt really work in practice, because you have to play the note so often and you'd also want a consistent dropoff location... (some say just let us tell an allay what pitch to listen for, but im cooking something better) -as much as the theming of amethyst = sound and allays liking sound fits, I don't feel like "right click with amethyst" is anything more than a band-aid-solution for getting more allays -allays can be frustrating to transport, even if they're really good at following you (i mean, mojang did a pretty good job, but i dont think any amount of fixes or buffs to speed can stop occasional questionable AI). also they get lost sometimes tbh but thats more of a noteblock issue, they just forget the noteblock -allays CAN still die, hypothetically, and i think giving them bonkers regen and health is the weird solution anyways, I think we can do better and have them revive, while making sense in lore. No more duplicating, but interesting renewability time! -i dont feel that its super intuitive who an allay "belongs to" like oh okay it follows *whoever gave it the item* thats... sure? eh Principles: -amethyst is too forced to just be Given to them -music doesnt really work in practice, despite being a little charming -lean into magical vibes -just make em work better -my particular take on some aspects revolve retconning a small bit of lore, potentially Now, TO THE REVAMP

Remember when people were asking about transporting allays and said "I wish we could store them in our inventory, that would help" Yknow, I think those people were absolutely cooking. I think we can go beyond just making books into "allay buckets" though! Rather than being close to a bucket, it would be a Summoning Tome; perhaps this would be a special book that you can craft, or books transform into tomes once you put an allay inside. Now, the idea is that you'd be able to right click to open or close the book, which would act as a summon. Whoever summoned an allay would be its "owner" (also, i think up to 3 allays in a tome could work maybe) What happens if I put away or drop the tome? It'd trigger the long distance teleportation, which I'll get back to. A failsafe of sorts, if you will Why summon tomes? - thematically I think it'd be very cool to use a book to summon them, for one, but I also think it'd just be very whimsical and... fitting! I think it'd also help allay safety. Why summon tomes? - Failsafes and overall Safety If an allay strayed too far from its owner, it would trigger a failsafe where it would drop the items its holding and teleport back into the book, and auto-close the book to let you know that it happened. The reason it would drop the items would be to prevent teleportation of items :p basically, I think it'd help allays not get lost, without necessarily giving them teleportation. they'd try to keep up with you to their best ability, but if they were just unable to pathfind to you, you could recall them intentionally or they would end up recalling if they just... really ended up nearly getting into like, an unloaded chunk. Why summon tomes? - If they die? ...and if they died, it would put them into the book and put them on cooldown for revival! bam, now you dont need to give them chunky health and regen! and you dont need duplication, either!

What about free roaming allays? How would they work? You could either release them from the tome, perhaps by shift right clicking, which would let them be free roaming and not bound to any player... or.... USE LECTERNS !! :D you could put an allay tome in a LECTERN and the allay would use *that* as the home block, and deliver items to the lectern, rather than needing a note block to repeatedly be activated. when a tome is in a lectern, you can close it or open it, by powering it with redstone or clicking it. this would allow you to recall an allay back into the comfort of its tome if you wished to reduce lag, etc :) I think the idea of a lectern holding a tome of allays as like, a summon-staff being held by a stand, in a way, is really fun :) its my favorite part of this all How would I obtain these summon tomes? So I said that we aren't gonna let you duplicate allays anymore, but 1) allays will still be renewable, even if you cant find any more 2) allays still can have theming involving amethyst Just wanna clarify that yes, allays would still be found in outposts and mansions, even if its a bit messy with the following lore retcon... So, we know that in official lore... well, we can assume that vexes arent just like, corrupted allays, and are merely similar looking because they're similar creatures in nature, perhaps born of similar... whatevers. and so they just capture the innocent familiars, and study and make their own evil ones. but i say while thats neat, id rather have vexes be corrupted evil allays SO we also know that raid farms are OP because totems really... shouldnt be renewable. so what if evokers dropped vex tomes? you could use them to summon vexes to kill anything attacking you, and they'd have anywhere from 1-3 vexes in them, so hey, raids make the tomes renewable. and you can probably see where im going with this: You'd have to purify the tome to get an allay tome! I think this could involve bringing them to a place of positive energy and vibes - an amethyst geode! Tada! We bring it back to amethyst because of the theming of sounds, and the chime-like sounds that allays make. Perfect! P.S They can still enjoy jukeboxes, as a treat. Noteblocks just arent used for their deeper mechanics double P.S (its late at night, i may Revamp this Revamp post tomorrow, by fixing up and restructuring a bit. but also i have school related writing stuff i should focus on lol. hope this is comprehensible and maybe brings you the same whimsy as when i imagined an allay tome on a lectern :D)

AITA for not getting my friends hopes up?

So my (17M) friend B (17F) has this magical destiny that means she's constantly fighting monsters and saving the world.

I help, along with my girlfriend C, my best friend W, W's boyfriend O, and the school librarian G (Old M).

B also has a boyfriend, A (VERY old, M) who's a vampire but is good because he was cursed to have a soul.

Well the curse had a kind of dumb clause where if A experiences a moment of true happiness, he loses his soul and becomes evil again. And that happened when he and B had sex, so B thinks it's her fault A lost his soul and has gone around killing a bunch of people, including G's girlfriend.

So that's all backstory, the part where I might be TA is that G's girlfriend seems to have figured out a way to get A's soul back, but when we tried the spell, A's forces attacked, murdered ANOTHER one of our friends and kidnapped G to figure out how to summon a demon that will destroy the world, and injured W so badly she ended up in the hospital.

W said that she thought she could complete the spell, and asked me to tell B about it before B went to confront A, but I didn't because, and I stress, he MURDERED OUR FRIENDS AND WAS ABOUT TO DESTROY THE WORLD and I didn't want B to hold back fighting him.

As it turns out, the spell worked and W did get A's soul back, but B still had to kill him and send him to Hell, and she was so upset about this B skipped town and left the rest of us to do her job without her for the summer.

I never told anybody that I didn't tell B about the spell , and I don't think W and B figured it out, but B's really upset even after coming back, and I'm wondering if maybe I messed up.

Edit: ok yes I did used to have a crush on B and was jealous of A at one point, but again, A was evil and about to destroy the world, so I don't think it's entirely relevant

A follow-up to this post: "But I want to make this for the sake of making it, and I'd like to get paid to do the thing I want to do so that I'm not forking out of pocket or collecting a huge number of made things with no purpose!"

Okay, friend, I knew you were going to ask this because I also like making a ton of things but don't always want the things that I made. I make things, sometimes, because I NEED TO MAKE, not because I want to have those things. This is part of why cool handmakers get stuck way undercharging for quality labor. We all spend a ton of money on a thing we love doing, and if we could just get someone ELSE to pay for the thing that, then we could MAKE THINGS FOREVERRRRR.

And yes, that's completely valid.

So I'm going to introduce you to my personal rule for that:

2.5x the cost of materials is the minimum you should sell a handmade thing for, and anything less is insulting. You spent $10 for yarn, those gloves cost $25.

That does not mean that you only charge that much. That means you never charge less than that much. If you sell the gloves at the cost of the materials, you're valuing everything you did as completely worthless.

I read the 2.5 number in a book once (I think this one but I can't remember anything else in the book) and I've found that it's a really good basic number for when someone I like wants to buy my stuff that I make. Generally, it doesn't feel like I"m asking too much, but it also is more than my brain that values my work so little wants to charge. $25 for a pair of gloves is reasonable to ask your friend to pay, but my brain always wants to be like "oh i paid $10 for materials so you can have them for $8" because I apparently don't value my work.

It's also great because 1) I don't like keeping track of how long things take me to make and 2) I don't keep good track of how much things cost.

I'm making a skirt right now. The fabric was $20. The elastic was 80" off a 100 yard spool that I bought two years ago. Most of the trim is harvested off of a skirt that I got on accident two years ago and then deconstructed. I broke two needles working on this project, used 1/8 of a spool of thread, put 18 minutes of sewing time onto my sewing machine and made a nick in my serger blade that required me to replace it. How much was my materials cost? I don't fucking know. But I know that if I ask $50 for it, all of those things will probably be covered, and I don't need to do a ton of math.

So yeah, when you're giving stuff to people and they ask how much you want for it, if you don't like math and you don't like counting hours or logging work, 2.5x is a pretty solid budgeting and isn't at all asking too much.

Also, one of the most fun things I have noticed about having a job where I'm not constantly counting every penny, is that I can just chaotically give people gifts for no reason. You want to know how much fun it is to just make shit and keep it in your car and when someone says something and you can just bust out a "well I do actually have a size 24 petticoat if you want one," reach behind your driver's seat, and summon the very thing they were discussing? I get crap for having a car that looks like a hoarder's car, but there's so much fun in summoning a bag of headbows from the depths of the inside of the car and handing them out like candy. I got into this because I will make things regardless of if there's a purpose for it or if I can actually afford it well, but the social element of selling or giving things away got really draining. And if you want to be an Agent of Positive Chaos, get a box, put your stuff in it that you made but don't have energy to sell, and keep a mental log of what it is. Someone's cold and your'e like BOOM, FUCKING GLOVES! It's like the Big Comfy Couch except that you're the couch. If you have the energy to manage your own business then congrats, but I have a limited amount of energy and I want to spend all of that making what I want, when I want, and figuring out what I'm going to do with it later. Having a job stresses me the fuck out and I decided to have a stressful fucking job because inflicting my handmade things on my friends for no reason is absolutely worth the stress. My friends live in a constant fear that I'll have made them a thing. They cannot escape it. It is always present and no one knows where it came from or where it will go. What man fears most is the unknown and i'm a big fucking ball of you-don't-know-what-i'll-make-you

Art isn't about why. It's about why not. Why are so many of our crafts dangerous? Why don't you *degrades into just quoting Portal for 4 hours*

Animaniacs : Life Swap! AU

How would Pinky or Brain respond to being locked in a tower for decades? What would the Warners do if they were taken from their parents?

What if the Warners and Pinky and the Brain swapped origin stories?

Pinky and the Brain as toons:

--Pinky and the Brain were drawn in 1929 by Lon Borax in an attempt to spice up Buddy's boring cartoon. Lon Borax went nuts due to crunch, but Pinky and the Brain were still able star alongside Buddy. Eventually they overtook Buddy in popularity and got to star in their own cartoons.

--However, both mice became harder and harder to work with as time went on. Weed Memlo hated working with Pinky because of his stupidity, making the task of directing him near impossible; and he hated working with Brain because although Brain was smarter, he was indifferent to acting and showed complete disinterest in making cartoons, making him difficult to work with. He'd constantly point out plot holes, inconsistencies, non-sensical moments and clichés in the script, insult the writers, insult Weed, etc. The only person he got along with (relatively speaking) was Pinky. Brain thought starring in cartoons was beneath someone of his intellect, instead, he wanted to be an inventor.

--Eventually Memlo had enough and quit. Warner Bros. let Brain direct his and Pinky's next cartoon. Brain decided to make their next cartoon a showcase of his inventions. However, given that it was the 1930's, his incredibly advanced inventions freaked out the audience and led to people thinking he was a danger to the public. The cartoon had created mass hysteria, so in response Mr Plotz demanded that Brain be locked up in the water tower. Pinky begged Plotz to let Brain go...but Plotz saw this as a "kill two birds with one stone" situation and just locked Pinky up too.

--As days go by, Brain thinks about how if he was in charge of Warner Bros., he'd never treat a toon like this, no matter how unpopular they were. As years go by, Brain declares that if he was in charge if the world he'd turn it into a place where toons can't be treated this way. As decades go by, Brain swears that once he's out of here, he'll be the one in control of his own life...and everyone else's. He just needed to find a way out.

--Meanwhile Pinky thought the studio would let them out in the "morning"-"Of course they haven't let us out yet Brain, the sun hasn't risen yet!" Brain decided to just let him keep believing that.

--Brain wasn't very good at summoning new things from his hammer space because as a toon, he could only do so if a joke could be made out of it, and comedy wasn't his forte. Luckily this wasn't the case for Pinky, who exceled at comedy, so he was much better at summoning new objects. Brain would use these to make inventions in the tower, he'd pass the time by thinking of all types of different schemes, ones to escape the tower, ones to take over the world, meanwhile Pinky happily watched, listened and came up with all sorts of weird and wacky gags to summon all sorts of stuff from his hammer space.

--Eventually one the inventions did the job, and the toon mice were free. They confront Plotz and let him know what they're scheming-Brain wanted to give him the chance to grovel. Plotz thought Brain had lost his mind, and ordered Dr Scratchansniff to take Brain and Pinky as his new clients.

--However, Plotz recalled how popular Pinky and the Brain were before Brain's inventions caused mass panic, and given that almost six decades had passed and people had calmed down about Brain, he decided to give him and Pinky their own show. Brain agrees, but only because he realised some of his schemes would require funding. Pinky was more than happy to be on TV, he loved making kids laugh. Steven Spielberg even agreed to be the Executive Producer.

--Dr Scratchansniff successfully psychoanalyzes Brain, but Brain doesn't listen to his conclusions or diagnoses, refusing to admit he has a problem. Scratchy can't psychoanalyze or de-zanitize Pinky, his stupidity made it too difficult.

--Brain had no interest in Hello Nurse at first, until he finds out she is quite the genius too. He tries to get her to team up with him so they can take over the world together, but Hello Nurse tries to talk him out of it, suggesting he use his inventions to improve the world, not take it. Brain insists a world under his rule would be an improved world. They go back and forth on this a lot. Pinky and Hello Nurse get along really well, she's impressed by his high pain tolerance in particular. They often talk about fashion and their favourite TV shows.

--Sometimes at night, when the mice return home to the water tower after a long day, the toon mice would see three children roam the lot, seemingly in search of something, or someone. It was so dark and the mice were so small that sometimes the children would accidently step on them as they ran around frantically. Luckily since they were toons they were impervious to physical harm, but it was still annoying when it would happen...to Brain anyway, Pinky thought it was fun.

--Pinky and the Brain signed contracts allowing the studio to film them going about their daily lives, and episodes of their show would largely consist of the edited footage. Since many of Brain's schemes were now seen as wacky rather than frightening, this time their cartoons did not cause alarm.

The Warners as genetically modified lab animals:

--Three little animals were captured and taken away from their parents so that they could be experimented on. Acme Labs was incredibly interested in this "recently discovered new species" that the scientists at Acme Labs had eventually decided to call "warners".

--Their parents were badly injured whilst trying to protect them from the humans. The three warners aren't even sure if they survived, as the van drove away all they saw through the window were their parent's motionless bodies slowly drift out of sight, unsure if they were just unconscious or gone for good.

--The three warners were kept in three separate cages at the back of the lab. Though they couldn't put it into words just yet, they had never felt more alone or scared in their lives. They were experimented on for a little while before being put into the gene splicer. This made them anthropomorphic and gave them the ability to speak, but also essentially fried their brains, driving them insane.

--The warners were manageable before getting their genes spliced, but afterwards they wreaked havoc in the lab every day. The eldest would constantly interrupt experiments by babbling on about anything he could think of, the younger brother would tinker with and/or break equipment, the youngest would hiss viciously as she unsheathed her claws when awoken and taken from her cage, then yawn in the most adorable fashion and open her big shiny eyes as if she did nothing at all, before proceeding to flirt with all the "cute" male scientists, and all three warners would run around the lab like crazy. Though they acted joyful, the main reason the three children acted out was because they resented Acme Labs for separating them from their parents.

--They tried subjecting each Warner to the Learned Helplessness experiment, but the Warners actually enjoyed being shocked, so the experiment did not produce the expected or satisfactory results.

--The youngest warner would play with Snowball, a lab hamster who she thought was the cutest thing, and was horrified when he was injured whilst being experimented on. She heard that the scientists had planned to put him through the gene splicer in an attempt to heal him. Knowing from first hand that that was not a pleasant experience, one night she broke him out of his cage and hid him away inside her own, kept safely in a box (it had air holes, don't worry). From that day forth she promised to take care of him as her pet, and also promised if any of the scientists came anywhere near the box, she'd scratch their eyes out.

--Eventually all the warners were put in one larger cage in hopes that they would use up all their energy harassing each other rather than the scientists. In reality, all three warners were glad to be in the same cage, as it made nights less lonely. Not that never got on each other's nerves though, in fact the younger brother had annoyed his sister so much one day she spat "What are you, wacko?!" He simply stared in silence for a moment, then a spark alit in his eyes. "WAKKO! I love it. I've always wanted a name, thanks sis!" He hugged his now very confused sister tightly. She wanted to tell him that wasn't meant to be a name, but he seemed happy so she just rolled with it.

"I'll give you a name too! We'll call you Dot!"

"Oooo, that's cute! But why?"

"Because you're tiny, like a do-OW!" she kicked him indignantly. The eldest chuckled at the exchange.

"She'd probably prefer some fancy name, like Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo-"

"Oh stop yakking! How am I supposed to remember all that? Let alone say it."

"Yakking...YAKKO! We'll call you Yakko. Get it? It's like my name but with a Y." Wakko announced.

"How creative." Yakko said flatly. He smiled though-he liked it.

--Sometimes the warners would notice two mice sneaking into the lab to steal some equipment. The children still resented Acme Labs and didn't want the mice to be caught and subjected to experiments too, so they let them be and didn't say a word to the scientists about it. Sometimes they'd even chat with the mice, especially the taller one, the shorter one didn't seem too interested in casual conversation.

--Being in the same cage brought the warners closer together, but in doing so only made them long for their family to be complete now more than ever. Yakko decides that every night they'll escape and look for their parents-not just in their old home (wherever it was, they didn't know the way there from Acme Labs) but everywhere, in case their parents were alive and looking for them.

--So every night they escape the lab in search of their parents, but with no luck, and by morning they'd be routinely re-captured and put back in their cage. Despite this the warners refuse to give up and vow to keep searching for their parents until they are found, dead or alive.

Natsu Harem: Fairy GET! 15/15

(人◕ω◕) The fifteenth member of Natsu's harem, hidden in this academy~... Known as the "Bonus" girl. Beware of her. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

Surprise, surprise~... This is the real finale to the Natsu's harem series. The final spotlight goes to Virgo, the Maiden. (人◕ω◕) I accidentally teased this back on #5... I decided to just keep it as a surprise. 15 is a nice, round number after all. (人◕ω◕)

When did they meet?

Shortly after Lucy joined Fairy Tail, Team Natsu accompanied her on a job to destroy a book written by Zekua Melon. At the time, Virgo was contracted with the Duke Everlue, who was in possession of the book and was responsible for the tragedy Kaby Melon's family. Natsu helped Lucy to defeat her and take back the book, which Lucy translated and returned to Kaby to reveal the truth of the book.

... Unbeknownst to Lucy, Happy had taken Virgo's key at the spirit's request to be transferred to Lucy, as she treats her spirits well. During the Eisenwald fiasco, Happy remembers to do just that~... And it's revealed that Virgo can change her form at will to her Master or Mistress's tastes. Her normal form is rather cute, slim, and perky. (人◕ω◕)

But Virgo is... Well. (人◕ω◕) She's loyal, and does have useful abilities like digging holes and laying traps... However, Virgo in general is a bit too much for Lucy. Too kooky and eccentric. Her frequent requests for punishment are also a bit much for Lucy; she's not that kind of person, and constantly restrains Natsu from doling out punishments for her. ... Cuz she doesn't want Virgo hurt. (人◕ω◕)

Still... Virgo becomes one of Lucy's main spirits she summons, and they do become good friends. There's no denying that. By proxy, Natsu and Virgo get along pretty well whenever they interact. The "punishment kink" flies over his head, but he rolls with Virgo's perverted antics. ... To be fair, Natsu and Loke are pretty good buddies, so. (人◕ω◕)

When did they grow closer?

Natsu and Virgo are at a slow boil throughout their shared adventures. (人◕ω◕) Natsu enjoys her antics - especially the ones that mess with Lucy - and Virgo appreciates his help in protecting her Mistress. But... they don't really get much one-on-one interactions...

... Or so everyone thinks. (人◕ω◕) It all began one day a few weeks after the incident with Loke. Lucy saw what a mess Natsu's house was, and grumbled about it, unaware Virgo heard her loud and clear. Thinking it would please her Mistress - perhaps enough for punishment - Virgo comes to the human plane on her own power to clean up Natsu and Happy's home. However, amidst her surprise cleaning, Natsu returns and is baffled by Virgo's initiative. This meeting soon becomes the first of many, as Virgo helpfully explains that spirits can visit the human plane without being summoned... They just can't be there without returning to the Spirit World to recharge. Natsu's still not wrapping his head around this human and spirit stuff, but he thinks Virgo could be doing more fun activities than just cleaning... Besides! Natsu likes his things the way they are. If Virgo goes moving stuff around and tossing crap out, he'll never know where it is. (人◕ω◕) It's chaos that only he understands, and he's just fine with that~...

Virgo wants to know what "fun things" Natsu's talking about, though. Part of her is thrumming with glee, as when she imagines "fun", she imagines punishment. Perhaps Natsu-san is a masochist, too? Or maybe... just maybe... a domineering sadist?! (人◕ω◕)

... Alas. Natsu seems to be a different sort. When he isn't showing her how he trains, he shows her good places to get grub. And he also gives the spirit a full tour of Lucy's apartment. (人◕ω◕) ... When Lucy isn't home. (人◕ω◕)

These occasional meetings between spirit and Dragon Slayer start off slow... But pick up pace when Natsu starts picking Virgo's brain for all sorts of different knowledge and advice. Like the whole maid profession, he doesn't get why Virgo would "lower" herself when she and Lucy can just be friends. There's a ton of miscellaneous things Natsu asks her about.... But the topic that really seems to excite Virgo the most is the topic of women. What makes them tick, the skimpy clothes they wear, why some get flustered when they get felt up while others get angry... or excited... (人◕ω◕)

Of course... This is Virgo. She takes this to mean Natsu-san has found someone or is considering his "type"... She also really only understands her type. Her kinks. (人◕ω◕) So she happily gives Natsu a bunch of masochist info. Natsu should be in control, and to give punishment whenever ladies ask for it. Because for women, "pain = pleasure". ... Or at least that's Virgo's oblivious mindset. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕) The Maiden knows what she wants. And perhaps if Natsu dominates Lucy, he can become her joint Master and punish her. (人◕ω◕)

These interactions go on for some time, without much of the guild being any the wiser. Sometimes Virgo shows up in the guild and hangs around Natsu, but Lucy and everyone else don't think much of it because of circumstances (aka, brawls). (人◕ω◕)

When did friendship turn to something more?

Natsu and Virgo go without contact for that whole year the guild is disbanded... And with everything that comes after Fairy Tail is brought back together, they don't have much time to catch up and bond like they used to.

... However. (人◕ω◕) After the war, Virgo goes right back to her old habits... and she discovers she really did miss Natsu a lot. (人◕ω◕) So much so... she asks Natsu to punish her, just to see what it would feel like. ... And it's everything and so much more than she ever wanted from Lucy-sama. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕) All Natsu does is strike a flaming hand to her bikini-clad bum over his knee a few times... But that's more than enough to bring Virgo to orgasmic pleasure. (人◕ω◕) Moreover, she finds out that cuddling with Natsu in his lap is downright cozy. And he has absolutely no problems with her thrusting his head into her bosom. Virgo is very pervertedly pleased. (人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)(人◕ω◕)

After such a stimulating reunion.... Virgo drags Natsu to talk too Lucy, hoping to bring them together... And, well. That doesn't work out. Natsu's not interested in Lucy in that way, he's got a fair amount of others who might kill him for that... And while Lucy's a bit crestfallen over it, she sees that Virgo's rather attached to Natsu, and allows him to hold onto Virgo's key. ... Even if he's not a Celestial Spirit Wizard. Since Virgo can summon herself, there's not really an issue. ... She just won't be able to stay for super long periods without threatening her wellbeing... But~... The Spirit King eventually hammers out a new, different deal between Virgo and Natsu, bonding them on a very personal level. (人◕ω◕) Virgo's able to access Natsu's reserves to linger for longer in the human plane, and their connection allows both of them to know if the other is in danger...

... Of course, Virgo celebrates their new union by bonding them on the most intimate level... (人◕ω◕) ... Certain parties are upset to hear about this, but to be fair, the Spirit King and the other Zodiac Spirits are a tad freaked out when Virgo winds up pregnant, as there's never been a precedent of a human mating with a spirit... But she manages the pregnancy just fine, and the baby girl's happy and healthy. (人◕ω◕) ... Natsu, though... He was very busy after he knocked up Virgo.

Very, very busy. (人◕ω◕)

today my dear followers who did not ask for this,

A Very Honest Slenderman(2018) Review!!!

by a creepypasta fanatic and someone who needs to think about smth else to not k- moving onto the "review". (it's not a real review i'm just gonna shit on it obviously)

It's just gonna be a list of things I noticed that bothered me throughout the whole film and made it physically difficult to watch. That was the second movie that took me two days to watch not because I was scared, but because it hurt my brain to finish it. ((((also yes. i am very . VERY . late to the party. i know. don't worry)))

Starting off, the characters are not likeable at all. None of them. They don't behave like actual teenagers. Someone from that directing team was observing high school students for a week with a notepad and was done after thinking they did a good job. I may or may not be autistic and not behave like that either but I've been in high school and have seen stuff. Obviously.

Second of all who just watches adult vids and calls it a night with friends wtf-

Not important . Maybe someone does?? Also these teenagers are created to be so edgy for absolutely no reason ((pointing out that line from ginger girlie saying that the cat should've exploded at the end i'm so fkn glad she was gone first)).

Another thing. Let's get to the star of the mfing show,,, Slenderman .

What they made of him was some kind of a,,, dryad?? Like there's legit some Slenderman Tree in the woods that he walks out of to collect kids and bear them with his big ol' self. Don't get me wrong that concept would be cool on it's own if not the thing that. It doesn't suit him at all. And the Slenderman Summoning Video as well- wth was that . You're telling me some bells (something added for the sake of the movie I suppose bcuz i never heard of that) with added five stock images of what'd you get if you typed 'illuminati' giving you a high speed seizure attack are gonna summon this big boy? The reactions are so hilarious to me as well WHY WERE THESE GIRLS PANTING AS IF THE DAMN SLENDERMAN WAS THERE WITH THEM give me a break. That would hint at least Slendy is some kind of . illuminati-ish experiment left off in the local woods grabbing kids to expand the tree for decades? i suppose.

Mostly what they did with him is giving marble hornets series but make it a on-budget parody that relies for it's damn life on shock value- flashing images constantly, having those ominous shots to make you feel something and lemme tell you i did feel something(nauseous). Also having the original contest images in the film was fucking hilarious so uh +1 for that but that's the only thing i actually liked.

Yet another thing! Nothing in this movie felt genuinely connected to each other,, if it was an artistic interpretation or smth idk i think i wouldn't mind as much but don't be calling this a damn full fleshed out movie.

The Slendy in this movie felt like a totally different being than the original it was sad to watch.

the effects were ,,,alright? like nothing to hate but nothing specific about it to like . it was just alright at best.

very last thing unless i've decided i remembered smth else-

THE LIGHT WORK IN THIS MOVIE WAS SO FUCKING TERRIBLE I HAD MY SCREEN LIGHT SET ON MAX AND STILL COULDN'T SEE A DAMN THING AND GUESS WHAT? THAT WAS THRU OUT LIKE 80% OF THE DAMN MOVIE

enough of that no matter if you enjoyed the ranting have a great day dont watch this movie unless you wanna suffer uhhhh have this cool cat pic of my cat idk what to put here anymore

edit

oh yeah i remember now

WHY DID SLENDY WALKED SO SEDUCTIVELY.............WHAT,

bro was swinging his hips seducing the victims i am done goodbye
