Meet Achara Singhaboon 🦎

A lizard-hybrid girl born to two wealthy parents into a life of privilege, Achara has been a rebellious force of nature her entire life. Growing up with the label of a genetically engineered "designer baby" left her with resentment towards her strict parents and the high level of expectations they had for her. Her father, Rama, and her mother, Ratchanee often demand perfection from their teenage daughter but rarely ever receive it. Achara couldn’t be less bothered by school, grades, or status, and only really cares about her bunny-hybrid younger brother, Asawin and her rat-hybrid best friend, Emil.

In an effort to put Achara on the right track her parents enroll her into Alpha King Academy, hoping the program will mold her into a responsible, respectful, and reputable young woman. Achara isn't convinced, however, and is more concerned with the recent disappearance of Emil. She expected to coast through the program as apathetically as possible until she's unknowingly pulled into the center of a dangerous conspiracy alongside a handful of other new kids.

As the mystery unfolds she learns there is much more to her own story that she was never aware of. She takes an eye opening and frightening deep dive into her origins, discovering she was originally a part of something much bigger and was meant for more than she ever realized. Her life as she knew it essentially turns out to be a lie, but with her newfound friends she's able to overcome the new threats that are now after her.

Dee wanted to ask Dawn, his cute goth crush, out to the Winter Formal but he backed out when the big bad put her life in danger to get to Dee. He pushed her away to protect her. During the dance, Dawn apologizes to Dee for not being there for him and tells him she chooses to stand by him even when things get scary. They dance and even though Dee never confesses his feelings for her, he's happy just to have her in his life. They need each other. (Earlier that night, Colt confessed his feelings for him, thinking he'd never see Dee again because he was being sent to prison- and Dee was dying. Dee rejected him and then went to cry to Achara, who was not equiped to comfort him but did her best. We love our lizard bestie.)

Who is this character? This is Moira Mercia-Ward, a first year (sophomore) at Alpha King Academy! She was part of an accidental late admission group with her four best friends, Achara Singhaboon, Colt Arvidsson, Diarmuid O'Ceallaigh, and Will Smalls. Later they met Kid Condor, and the six of them were dragged into an intensely dangerous mystery revolving around a fellow student murdered in his dorm room.

FASCINATING, I WISH TO KNOW EVERYTHING! Oof. That's a tall ask. This game spanned nearly 2 years and a lot happened, most of our sessions were 12+ hours, weekend-long affairs. I'm happy to share specifics via the ask function, but I'm afraid a novelization is out of the question. |D

What is Moira's Alpha ability (power)? Mastermind and I call it "Thread Kinesis"--basically thread-movement. Moira often wears sweaters or clothing with laces, she can unravel/unlace these things and use them to constrict opponents, cushion blows, rappel and swing, grab objects, etc. as long as she's in physical contact with what she's controlling. More recently Will Smalls developed a set of twelve magnetic metal plates with holes, to allow Moira to weave her own shields and plate metal. Or create pretty vicious swinging-mace weaponry. Robots beware......

Dang that sounds wild. Can she only control yarn and laces? For the moment, that's what she can control most easily. During the endgame, she was able to control wires for a moment but it created great physical strain. Someday she may be on the same level as her mother (she's able to control wires as well as clothing without being in physical contact, making it unsettlingly easy for her to restrain and constrict anyone who happens to be, you know, dressed).

Why the hyphenated last name? I'm so glad you asked... Moira is the only daughter of Winston Ward and Malena Mercia. Malena happens to have the same power as Moira, in fact this power has passed itself along the female offspring for generations (Malena will say that they're descended from the Moirae, the Fates, themselves, though Moira is extremely skeptical for obvious reasons). Both of her parents being progressive, Moira's last name was hyphenated to "preserve" the Mercia name.

Moira's mom sounds a little intense... Is she okay? Absolutely not. Malena Mercia was an activist for a time, but her methods became more and more extreme until she was classified as a villain. She called herself "Filanesse" as a kind of bitter joke-- if she was going to be villainized for simply doing what had to be done to hold bad people responsible, she would gladly take up the mantle of a 'villainess' (Fil, filament, look I'm very symmetrical it's fine). Eventually when Moira was 10, Malena was defeated by Thunder Solomon (leader of The Vanguard, a prominent superhero team) and arrested for various vigilante-villain activity and killing a security guard. Malena was sent to Alpha Max-- maximum security for people with Alpha abilities-- for a long time. Moira visited for a few years when she still didn't quite understand the extent of what had happened, but eventually asked Winston if she could stay home when he visited Malena. Moira's confusion and grief turned into anger over being essentially abandoned because her mother killed someone using their power. Teenagers, right?

Dang! So has Moira seen her since she stopped visiting the prison? You think she managed to keep that bit of her traumatic history private for two years of gameplay? HA! The trail of the dead student led back to Malena, so Moira had to visit her in Alpha Max. The first time was an emotional disaster, Moira running out of the prison after the visit having a full-blown panic attack. The second time she went, there was a prison break and Malena escaped to join the Big Bad Evil Guy in their plot. Malena kept reappearing and trying to get Moira to come to her side, but Moira was still simultaneously furious and pleading with her mother to just take responsibility for what she'd done and go back to prison. It didn't go over well. At the end of the season, Malena nearly killed Moira and her sister Melita in a blind rage and disappeared when she realized how far she'd gone.

...She has a sister? A twin sister in fact! Melita Mercia, who helped raise Moira. Melita is the youngest and participated in the Filanesse-identity, using her power in tandem with Malena's to make the villain seem even more formidable and powerful. It also helped them evade capture by authorities for a time, Filanesse always seemed to be able to outmaneuver whoever was chasing her, be wherever she needed to be in a moment. The three of them, Melita, Malena, and Moira, spent most of Moira's childhood together, raising her to feel strong and proud in her femininity. They were their own 'coven', for lack of a better word, and when Malena was arrested Melita disappeared, leaving Moira without her support network.

What about Winston though? Winston is a great dad! He's a public defender and works hard to support Moira with his single income. Which means often he wasn't around when Moira got home from school and often came home to eat, sleep, and change his clothes. He's a very supportive parent and wants to protect Moira from everything-- sometimes even from her own and his own feelings. They didn't really discuss Malena's arrest, and so their house was fairly quiet, dark, and sad from the tension and forced-cheerleading on Winston's part. He absolutely did his best, but Moira's life had a huge crater in it where her support network used to be. It's a tall task to fill it when you're already burning the candle at both ends and in the middle to make ends meet.

What's Moira like at school? In the beginning, Moira was very guarded and reserved. The Alpha Identity Protection Act (AIPA) is supposed to seal names and records of active superheroes and villains so their families don't get caught up in their personas, however many heroes still have access to that information. Moira spent the first few months guarding the fact that her mother is a convicted villain with everything she had in her, and it made her seem quiet, awkward, constantly nervous, and blank. In reality so much of her was caught up in her parentage, in the fear that she would someday lose her sanity and kill someone with her power like her mother did, that she stopped moving forward and growing. Pain was comfortable and familiar, building a new self that was separate from Malena and Melita was new and scary--so she didn't do it until the events of the game more or less forced her to confront the realities of her situation and start developing again. She's highly artistically-minded (she has a tree on campus that she regularly yarn-bombs to work out her feelings), she's practical while still being subject to emotional swings and panic attacks, she's highly protective to the point where she's thrown herself in front of real physical harm to protect her friends thinking 'I guess I'm just going to get hurt, this is how it goes'. She gets a little sarcastic if she feels unheard, inconvenienced, or taken advantage of, lightly gives her friends shit when she senses buffoonery, is highly sensitive to how people might be feeling even if she doesn't always know what to say, and is absolutely not above tying the school bully's shoelaces together under the lunch table if he's picking on her friend. As a random, non-specific example......... 8D

(I'm sorry you guys, if you're here, you're going to have to deal with my dumb shipping-- Moira tied Hunter Solomon's shoelaces together when he started picking on Will. Yes, Hunter, the son of Thunder Solomon, the woman who brought Malena down. This shit just writes itself, it's not my fault.)

How does she feel about her friends? Well she very nearly died fighting alongside them, they've absolutely become her new support network. Not the same as what she had with Malena and Melita, but enough for her to feel loved and free to explore the person she's becoming. She's probably closest with Will and Diarmuid, who both really supported her through her identity and mental health journeys. She has great admiration for Kid Condor, and a massive crush on him (he was the first who found out who her mother was and opened up to her about his own less-than-stellar childhood parentage). Achara is her roommate, and while Moira is organizing her scrapbooking supplies Achara is staying up all night playing video games. They couldn't be more different and that initially gave Moira serious pause, but their relationship is growing. Moira and Colt still don't see eye-to-eye, the two of them seem to keep missing each other. However Moira would absolutely have his back in any situation, just because they aren't best buddies doesn't mean she doesn't want what's fair and good for him.

What about a special someone, eh ehhhh?? Currently Moira is building a potential relationship with a second year named Xiomara. She was asked to the Winter Formal by Xiomara and spent most of her time worrying and feeling like she was leading her on by not telling Xiomara who her mother was. She sees what her mother did to Winston's life and doesn't want to do that to a partner. Feelings that are actually reciprocated have been on a very far back burner while dealing with everything else in her life, but she's starting to unclench and give things an honest chance.

So Moira likes boys AND girls? She likes everybody if given half an excuse. She's a little stunted now, but I imagine when she gets to college she goes pretty partner-wild.

OTP? Moira's got two hands and a lot of thread she can use to hold onto many things. I'm just saying.

What are her major themes in-game? Mental health, the power in what's traditionally thought of as 'feminine', moving past childhood trauma, finding the artist in the pragmatist, embracing parts of yourself you initially want to reject, finding greater purpose and courage when it's easier to just hide, finding your own definition of heroism, nobody is inherently "good" or "bad"-- they make choices that shape them.

Can I draw her?? I would LOVE IT. I wouldn't like anything with any intense depictions of violence/torture/sex, she's a kid after all, but I'm guilty of aging her up to write post-AKA fics so just use some good judgment I guess? She's my precious baby after all, handle with care. <3 (I say, as someone who gave her villainous heritage, mental health issues, and an unstable power...)

I really wish this was a TV show! Hey same! But it's great that our anonymous animator is making our kids move and we've gotta be happy with that! <3 Especially since adapting a 2-year-long tabletop game that means so much to us personally into some 10-episode studio-sterilized thing would be stomach-turning. Maybe one of us should work on marrying a billionaire who mysteriously falls down the stairs.

I have a question that's not here and I'm absolutely dying to know-- You can totally hit the asks! I love chattering away about this to anybody who will listen~

[petekaos]

Rahul yes! Absolutely watch the stranded once you have time! It's such a good show and you also get to join the SUS2 club (suffering until season 2) ♡

Work's fine, it's just that as a more of an introverted person customer service can be draining. And since I'm still new I'm constantly afraid of making mistakes and getting scolded... But at the moment I'm completely slacking off since I only have one more shift this week. Not a good thing money-wise but I appreciate a break rn. So I've been practicing self-care aka rewatching all the aired cherry magic episodes once again and drinking way too much milk tea. I've also been meaning to make the tangerine pie for what feels like ages now but I can't seem to find a recipe I'm satisfied with so do you have any suggestions or should I just make up my own? 🤔

Hctm... Yeah, one more reason to expect great things from bad buddy. And I have faith in ohm and nanon's performance considering they're so close irl, though ohm probably could have chemistry with even a trashcan if he had to. And faiza really is keeping the lovely writer hype going and I have to appreciate that! On the topic of other blogs, I don't think I ever thanked you for the list you compiled for me in my anon days, just know that they've been on my dash ever since ♡

How're things with you lately? Any holiday plans yet? I love our convos so much too, I was worried I'd come off as annoying or that you liked the mystery of anonymity more so hearing you say that makes me ❤❤ Sorry though, I clearly have a problem with making my asks brief and to the point...

Sending holiday hugs! 💛

neneeeeee!!! aaaah so sorry for the fairly late reply but here i am now! i’ve seen everyone suffering and begging for s2 hnshfg it’s truly frightening but also i am very intrigued as to watch it! just have to get through every other show on my neverending watchlist... mess.

ah i’m sorry about work, that’s rough :( however, i’m sure you’ll get used to it soon and that you’ll form a routine! customer service can be incredibly draining though so i’m glad you’re getting some kind of break at least. milk tea and cherry magic sounds wonderful, i can’t wait until i get my break in a couple of weeks so i, too, can just sit down and rest for a while and find some time to write, gif, and watch new shows! everything’s been a bit hectic right now and i have so many things to catch up with :( this time of year is difficult for everyone though, especially this year, and so i’m glad you’ve been holding up okay, all things considered. 

also tangerine pie!! yeah, it can be difficult to find a recipe and i rarely make it myself because i can never find tangerines BUT this is the recipe i used a while ago, because i love gingersnaps and i thought it worked well! once i get my break, i’m going to try and bake more and see if i just can’t find some tangerines and tweak this recipe a bit. but feel free to go wild with it - tangerines go super well with ginger, cinnamon, and i’m partial to tangerines and blueberries/lemons myself! they’re a fairly sweet fruit and so depending on your taste, it’s always fun to pair it with something sourer that’ll compliment it too. this has just turned into a tangerine ramble fhsnfh i’m sorry!!

aaaah i am so hyped for bad buddy! yeah, considering their close friendship irl, they’re gonna have super good chemistry, and also they’re both brilliant actors so i know they’ll deliver. i just hope people aren’t weird about them or try to ship them irl... that goes too far for me. and omggg your anon days!!! ah i remember that blog list still, they’re all so lovely and i’m so glad you like them too!

i’ve been doing okay! busy busy busy as always and i feel like i may be nearing a burnout but i have some time off soon so it’ll be time for me to rest and heal haha :^) no holiday plans unfortunately :( the original plan was to drive down to a neighbouring country and see some friends but since covid cases here are rising again we’ve decided it’d be smarter and more responsible to relent from that and see each other when it’s safer! i’ll probably (hopefully) just bake a lot and write a lot! i’m thinking about pete, kao, and achara in japan... they’d have so much fun going there in the winter holidays and seeing all the snow! 

you never come off as annoying at all! i love your long asks, they always put a smile on my face and i hope my answers aren’t too rambly lmaoo!! but what about you - any plans for the holidays? and since i was just rambling on and on about tangerine pie - what’s your favourite dessert? ALSO speaking of cherry magic - who’s your favourite character? [eyes emoji] mine has to be udon-chan bc if you made me pick the humans i would PERISH. either way, many holiday hugs to you my friend! 💛

No Return : Day 1 - EXO

A/N: Ok so, I had this idea of writing a new fic , I know you all want to kill me because I have to update all my other fics (and I will!), but I just couldn’t let this get away, I know I didn’t put any specific names there so I’m just gonna say it’s all EXO + a bunch of other people, but for now it will be EXO centered, This took me a lot of research and still wasn’t enough to make it realistic but I still hope you all like it <3 thanks for 6.6K!

Summary: You and your best friend were surprised when you got the opportunity to become a trainee and fullfill your long lost dream, little did you know the hardships you’d find not only in adapting to this new life, but also matters of the heart you’d never expect to happen.

word-count: 3.692

genre: fluff/angst

“Are you sure you wanna do this?" You turned to Y/F/N and asked.

"There's no way to escape now, is there?”

“I don't think so, are you nervous?”

"Apparently not as much as you are Y/N."

"Stop it; I know all that confidence is a defense mechanism."

She laughed and nodded.

You were both nearing your new residency aka a dorm full of trainees in a foreign country for you both.

If anyone said you'd be on this situation a year ago, you'd laugh and tell that person that they are crazy, but then it happened, you and your friend were hanging out when you watched the new video uploaded by SM and surprise; they will hold the global audition where you two live!

You instantly showed Y/F/N and she just showed no reaction,

"You wanna try Y/N?"

"What? No! Not me, it is you who needs to try out! Dumbass"

She looked at you surprised and answered;

"What? Me? Absolutely not, where did you get that idea from?"

"Why not Y/F/N? You are an amazing dancer and you look good, what's the matter with trying?"

"Y/N, I'm not even considered average and what are you talking about? I'm a potato"

You giggled and said "cutest dancing potato ever, now go choose something for your audition"

"Y/N, I'm not doing this"

"Yes, you are"

"No, I'm not"

"Yes, you-"

"Wait, I'll only go if you go with me"

"Of course I'll go with you, duh, I'll wait for you to leave so we can celebrate"

"No you stupid, I meant you'll have to audition too"

"Huh? Me? Are you mad?”

"Y/N, you're as much as a good singer as I'm a dancer, plus you can dance also, and you also act like if anything you have way more chances than I do"

"I don't.... I just do these things as a joke, you know that"

"No you don't , you say it's as a joke because you don't have your parents support but you have told me before that The first thing You'll do when you have your own money is to pay for singing , dancing and acting lessons, this might be a huge shot for you"

It was a little unsettling to hear her say that but it was the truth indeed. Thoughts floated your head as you unsuccessfully thought a way out of this.

"If I audition .... You will also, right? And fully committing, that means you'll have to practice before hand and actually give a fuck about it"

She thought about it for a while but eventually agreed.

What you didn't expect was that you both would be called back and go through 2 more audition stages, till the day you actually signed the 2-year SM contract to become a trainee.

It wasn't easy leaving everything behind , basically learning a whole new language , have enormous arguments with your parents about how we're on our senior year and we should finish school , even if we explained we'd finish school in Korea, it wasn't easily accepted but eventually they couldn't completely hold us since we were 18.

And now here we are, we got to the dorm, a woman dressed like she was ready to go to a meeting greeted us and told us to follow her.

As we got to our room, we found out that we'd be sharing the room with two more trainees, also foreigners, one from China and one from Thailand; they both spoke good English though so communication wouldn't be a problem.

The space on the room was better than expected, even being shared by 4 girls, after greeting the other girls, the woman caught our attention to hear her speak;

"I want to welcome you girls to SM Entertainment, congratulations for entering and I hope you work hard to achieve your objectives , first I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Jenna and I'm a foreigner just like you all are , I was assigned to check up on you guys often so consider me your manager for now , I was actually shown all your auditions and you are all really talented but still lacking in a lot of areas , you all have different strengths and weakness so here it is your personalized schedule"

She got 4 papers and called us by our names;

"Y/F/N”, she called and after your friend got hers she frowned while reading another paper that was given to her "what is this?"

"Oh, it is your special diet, some of you need to lose weight so we design a diet plan for you, make sure to follow it" , Jenna answered with a stern voice.

Your name was called next and you got the 'special diet' as well, what most took your attention though was your schedule:

'Your full name

Gender

Nationality

Age

Ratings: 1-7

Vocals: Level 4

Dancing: Level 3

*not qualified for rapping

Acting: Level 3

*can play the guitar and writes/composes

Schedule:

6AM: Wake up

           Breakfast *follow diet plan

           Shower and skin, hair care

           Go to school

After school hours: SME trainees building:

    4 hours of Singing Lessons

    2 hours of Dancing Lessons

8PM: Dinner *follow diet plan

1 Hour Break

   *On Wednesday, Friday and Saturday: 2 hours of acting classes before dinner.

    * On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday: 2 hours of language lessons (Advanced Korean, basic Japanese/Chinese)’

The diet wasn't as strict as you thought it would be , but you still wondered if you'd be able to handle that schedule when back home you were already exhausted just by going to school, well this is your life now and you'll have to embrace it.

You looked at Y/F/N for a second and she looked just as desperate as you did, meanwhile Jenna continued to speak:

"Well tomorrow I'll be here at 6 to give you your skin and hair products, also direct you to where you'll study and just give the rest of the guidance you'll need" 

She smiled at us and turned around to leave but then she turned to us again "oh, contact your family now, because your phones will be taken starting tomorrow and you'll get them back every Saturday, alright? Rest well, first impressions are really important"

She said as she closed the door and we all looked a little shocked , aside from the Chinese girl , who was acting like this didn't surprised her at all.

"Y/N... how will we survive without our phones all week?" Y/F/N asked you.

"Have you checked the schedule? I don't even think we'll have time to think about phones"

"My parents are going to kill me...” She murmured

"No need to tell me" you agreed.

The Thai girl, whose name was Achara, seemed the most excited out of us four, "do you think we'll practice with boys?”

She asked while smiling.

The Chinese girl, whose name was Ting, rolled her eyes and said "there's no gender separation at practices”,

"Really?!" Achara asked looking really happy about it.

Y/F/N suddenly said it louder than she thought "are you serious that she is here for that?"

Achara looked at her feeling somewhat offended and you nudged Y/F/N's arm, "I'm sure it is not like that, Achara let me guess, you're a kpop fan?"

She nodded excitedly and said "don't get me wrong, I love dancing and singing but kpop is what inspired me on the first place, so I can't help it but get a little excited"

You smiled at her and said "Yeah, I understand, me and Y/F/N were sort of like that also"

Achara smiled wide and asked us

"What's your favorite group?" And just when you were about to answer , Ting said "if you are here because of that , you'll be out in no time , it's really rare that we get to meet any idols at all and even if we do , that's not the focus , is it?"

Y/F/N answered with "it's not but can't we talk a little bit?"

Ting answered while shrugging her shoulders “Well, it’s less competition for me I guess"

You all seemed to dislike her answer but the chat died, you managed to contact your family and explain what's going to be like now, you were met with protests but you still said you think you'd like living a busy life there, so they settled off.

After finishing your call, Ting got up and said "ok so we have to decide the bathroom order"

"You won't call your family?" Achara asked her.

"They wouldn't even care if I didn't contact them for over a year, anyways, the bathroom order, should we do it by age?”

You let out a chuckle and said “I bet you're the older here"

She raised an eyebrow at you and said "fine, how do you wanna decide then?”

"Why don't we play rock, paper, and scissors?" Y/F/N asked, you agreed and the order was Y/F/N-Achara-You-Ting

"Argh, I can't believe this, it's so unfair, you are definitely not prepared to face the Asian respect for the elders rule" Ting whined while the rest of you just ignored.

You were exhausted from the whole travel so you just decided to sleep already because from what you've catch, it's not like you'll get lots of this for the next week.

...

Day 1:

You woke up to Y/F/N literally shaking you; she let out a sigh when you looked at her "ah, finally, how didn't you wake up with the alarm?"

"Sorry, guess I was really tired" you mumbled back to her and suddenly her words kicked in and you sat abruptly on bed "wait, am I late?”

"No, you're not" answered Jenna who was sat on Achara's bed, who you figured was on the bathroom by now,

"Here”, she continued while giving you a small bag with some products inside, "this is all you'll need for skin and hair care"

You opened the bag and there really was a large amount of products with no brand on whatsoever but whatever right? They were giving you all this for free and they really took looks seriously so it wouldn't damage you.

"I'm sorry but how do I know what and how to use it?"

Jenna just gave you a smile and said "it's ok, here, after your morning shower, you scrub your face using this - she picked up a product- afterwards, you have to keep your face moisturized during the day with these creams, I'll bring new ones for you too, and anti-pore strips, also don't forget to put on face mask 2 times a week, it's important, for hair just use these and you'll be fine"

"Oh, okay, thanks"

"You and Y/F/N will go to an international school and here it is all the transportation you need to take after school to get to the building you'll practice"

She handed you two a paper full of info on how to get to the most important places, our school, the dorm and SME building.

We were attending "Korea Kent Foreign School”, thankfully me and Y/F/N were on the same class so we could just help each other in case someone gets lost and stuff like that.

We got to the school bus and basically that was our first contact, no one looked as us weirdly since most of students were foreigners, still no one introduced themselves so we just sat down, Y/F/N looked at me and said

"Finally we can talk"

"Yeah, what's on your mind?"

"Well... pretty much everything right now"

You laughed and agreed, “I know, I'm a little nervous for practice later, to be honest, like what if we just have to get there and already show our skills for everyone? I'll be so embarrassed"

"Well, if that does happen, remember we're all on the same boat, literally"

"Yeah, I know, you think people will hate us for being foreigners?”

"Nah, Jenna was saying earlier that SM is looking for foreigners now, that's the 'new trend', fresh faces she said"

"Well that's good I guess, what did you think of her?”

"I'm still a little hesitant but mostly I think she's willing to help us"

"Yeah, I feel the same way"

The ride to our new school was fast and everyone orderly left the bus , that shook me a little since I was used to people bumping at each other all the time to get places, so it was nice having people organized for a change.

Classes really weren't that different but you could notice that the amount of commitment was, everything was taken very seriously and there were a lot of talks about colleges since the main goal were to put us in one of those.

When Josh from the welcome committee asked you where you planned to apply and you said you didn't know, he really expressed his concern over your future.

The thing is, you didn't know if you could talk about being a trainee or if that's supposed to remain secretive, you supposed you could mention but you'd rather ask Jenna so that you wouldn't mess stuff up already.  

Teachers were different too, not that they were interested in knowing your name or stuff like that, but they would keep a close eye to check if you are taking your notes and absorbing the content well.

You quickly learned that the coordination of the school knew you were a trainee when the principal called you and Y/F/N to talk to you and tell us that there would be days we could finish school earlier to go practice.

At 2:40 PM the bus left so you got back to the dorm so you could face the subway.

Now that was a real experience, people looked at you and Y/F/N like you were absolute aliens aka foreigners to them. You hoped that would get better with time because it was really uncomfortable.

Somehow you managed to find the SM building quicker than you thought and then it was time.... finally your first day as a trainee, all type of thoughts were running through your head while you were going to the reception, you and your friend had to get past some fangirls, who were clearly waiting for the opportunity to see some idol.

“Oh, God, will they be here every day?” Y/F/N asked

“What do you think?” you laughed and got into the building, as you two got in, Jenna came to meet you two , “Oh.. You two got here on time, great”

She turned to you first and said “Y/N, you have to go to the third floor, second room to the left to meet your singing tutor and Y/F/N, you go to the second floor, Third room on your right to meet the choreographer”

A form of panic started to take you “wait, you won’t come with us?”

Jenna laughed and said “why would I come with you? I have a lot to do girls, and so do you two, so go practice! Good luck”

She walked away.

You turned to your friend and murmured “I’m gonna pass out”

“No, you’re not, calm down, you’ll do great, just try to do what they ask right? Also they are supposed to be here to teach us, so it’s just like any other class, I think we have to go now…”

As you got to the third floor and to the designated room, you met a room with about 8 people on it, 4 boys and 4 girls, now with you being the fifth, you were stared for a while and you felt some of the girls looking at you up and down, you decided to ignore and focused on your breathing so you’d try to calm yourself down.

Just in time, a man around his 40’s entered the room and you could feel everyone tensing up, he stood at the center of the room and examined all of us.

“Well, you’re in with me for level  4 singing skills, I’m Hoon , I want you all to line up here, next to me by the piano and I’ll play a note, the person next to me will have to sing it and then move onto the next in line”

At first it wasn’t as bad as you thought and he seemed like calm, collective person, and he was using a low key to everyone, so it wasn’t bad, at least that’s what you thought.

“Alright, this is going nowhere; I’ll have to work with you individually at first, let’s do scales”

Each one of you sang scales, which proved to be hard for you already, coming from a place where you had no technical training whatsoever.

“Now I’ll point to one person and you’ll sing a song of your choice for all of us”, he reached for something beside the piano that we couldn’t see, afterwards he showed us one of those huge film cameras and sat down at the center of the room holding it.

If he wanted to make you nervous, well he did it, you felt sick and you were praying so you wouldn’t be the first one chosen.

Luck was on your side this time, and a guy was chosen before you, as he sang his song, the vocal teacher kept recording him, sometimes standing up to make a full zoom on his face, you heard the singer stuttering a little at the surprise and Hoon asked him to stop.

He pointed at you and you got it that it was your time to sing, all you could think about was your audition song, you knew you had made an awful job, especially since for your turn of the surprise; he picked to make you walk back and forth while singing.

The next girl was jumping, the other guy he started talking to other people, the other he asked us to scream while he was singing, and it just got worse to each one of us.

After the last person sang, the teacher took a long sigh and said “that was awful, alright, I’ll divide you 9 into three trios of 3, the decent, the mediocre and the substandard, the decent will get to pick a song of their choice to work with me every week, individually, the mediocre will get to do that every other week and the substandard…Once a month.”

You had no idea where you were placed but you already didn’t like the idea.

As he started to select people, you weren’t in for ‘the decent’, and so far two people were selected for ‘the mediocre, you just had to accept and try to train the best you could.

“You, last member of the mediocre”, he said pointing at you, you were happy for a few seconds , emphasis on a few, since when you were moving to be next to the other ‘members’, Hoon told you “if I were you, I’d start getting worried over monthly evaluation, in all aspects for you”

Your heart broke but you remembered this was another culture, they were supposed to be like that at first to young people, it still fell pretty hard on you and you barely managed through the rest of singing lessons.

Now you had 2 hours of dancing lessons and in your way to the practice room, one of the girls from your singing class walked beside you and greeted you with a smile, she introduced herself and told me to cheer up because Hoon was famous for being like that at the start with everyone, she also said that they always left some recording studios opened all night for trainees and so , in case I wanted to practice on my own later, I thanked her for the info and we each went our way.

The dancing lesson was somehow of a hardship to everyone but the teacher mocked us and made us laugh for a little bit instead of being strict, he just showed the moves without any music on, and then with music on and we had to try to follow, so everyone kind of got used to it at the end since if you were messing up, everyone had to start over until all of us moved in unison.

It was finally dinner time, your appetite just wasn’t working this time and you didn’t want to talk to anyone, so you decided to grab an apple and head to the recording studio the girl told you about earlier, you just had to get back to where you were in 2 hours to get language lessons, then meet Y/F/N and head out to your dorm.

Turned out the girl was right and you found the recording studio, you didn’t know how to mess with those buttons but you did know that the acoustic inside that booth could make wonders.

Ah, how you wish you had your phone here, you could check your list of songs you wanted to cover and try one now, you tried to remember your list the best as you could, and one song came up.

You started singing, once, twice, five times and you were still not satisfied, you tried to make one of the warm up and breathing exercises your teacher taught you earlier and tried again.

You closed your eyes and enjoyed the deep silence inside the booth before singing.

Since you were immersed into your work and trying to control your breathing so you could reach higher notes, you didn’t notice someone entering the recording studio.

Just as you finished singing the last note of the song, you heard the noise of a microphone being turned on and as you followed where the noise was coming you heard this guy outside the booth saying:

“Wouldn’t it be a waste if no one was recording that?” he said after showing you a smile.

“Also maybe you think you’d be up for a duet?”

You knew that face

That voice

Just everything about him.

It was…

A/N: WHO WAS IT? Write me with who you want me to start with, I am indecisive on two members so it’s your call, so did you like it? too cliche? too weird? too ordinary? just tell me and i’ll be fine. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you guys for 6.6K. Also disclaimer; I did a lot of research on SM trainees and stuff like that, and it was really hard to get info, so most stuff were really made up, I decided to put stuff as pressure for body weight and some sort of humiliation because these stuff happens and I wanted to be as close to reality as possible, so don’t be mad at me by that, I was surpised to learn SM is not even the worst when it comes to that... It’s just the intro to the story so forgive me for not having any EXO on it, Just make sure to tell me if you want me to continue or not : )

[dragonacademyhq-blog]

Esse é LYNAE LOPTDOTTIR, vindo de Kattegat, só tem vinte e quatro anos. É um Cavaleiro de Dragão na Academia de Berk, o seu dragão é um RAZORWHIP preto metálico chamado de Igrit. Alguns Vikings sussurram que ele é abençoado por HEL e tende seguir o caminho dela no futuro. É extremamente confundido com BAE JOOHYUN AKA IRENE, porém é óbvio que essa é Lynae, The Stormy.

POSITIVO: adaptável, corajosa, perfeccionista e esperta.

NEGATIVO: evasiva, insensível, rude e destrutiva.

Filha de uma coreana, trazida para Kattegat como escavava, com um dos caçadores mais prestigiados da tribo que acabou por cair nos encantos da mulher. A mãe sempre fora esperta, mesmo vivendo em péssimas condições e sendo maltratada por muitos, sabia usar o ambiente e as pessoas ao seu favor, passando tal habilidade para Lynae que não tivera uma vida tão mais feliz que a da matriarca. Durante a infância tivera um treinamento exaustivo e abusivo do pai, que arquitetava para que a garota fosse uma caçadora tão reconhecida quanto ele, chegando a bater na garota quando a mesma não sucedia como esperado. Ao atingir a adolescência Lyn começou a de fato se aproximar dos caçadores, entrando para um grupo e começando a treinar com o mesmo, sempre tivera muito êxito e impressionava a maioria, graças a exigência e perfeccionismo que seu pai embutira em si, forçando a garota sempre ao seu máximo. Mesmo assim nada aliviava a grande dúvida de Lyn, que não compreendia porque tinham de fazer aquilo com os dragões, não via os mesmos como uma ameaça, tampouco criaturas que deveriam ser alvo de perseguição. Para a caçadora eles mereciam cuidado e amor como todos os outros animais, mais do que os humanos, que ao ver de Lynae eram e sempre seriam desprezíveis. Entretanto sabia que tal opinião era rara e por isso escondia de todos, até mesmo da mãe em que tanto confiava.

Começara a de fato atuar como uma caçadora com 18 anos e podia-se dizer que ela ia de certa forma muito bem, o que para Lyn era terrível, cada dia que passava a garota se via mais enojada com o que faziam com as criaturas e logo começara a tentar ajudar as mesmas, passando a criar aversão as pessoas com as quais era obrigada a conviver. Atrasava o grupo de caçadores dos quais fazia parte, dava vantagens aos dragões, tentava o impossível e possível para protegê-los. Em uma de suas pequenas aventuras para proteger as criaturas, Lyn deu de cara com um Razorwhip machucado por um dos caçadores de seu grupo, arisco como o dragão era, a situação saiu de controle. Tentou ajudar a criatura mas a outra parecia hesitar, Lynae não tinha medo de morrer ali, mas sim do que os caçadores fariam se encontrassem o dragão. Após curtos dias a garota conseguiu certa confiança do Razorwhip, o suficiente para ajudar na situação do mesmo com o pouco que sabia sobre as criaturas. Porém, ela não fora cuidadosa como deveria e alguns caçadores a encontraram não tão longe de Kattegat. O grupo do qual fazia parte invadiu o local que tinha escondido a criatura e resolveu por si só dar um castigo a traição da garota. Além machucarem Lyn como ela nunca achara possível, eles tinham o plano de matar o dragão na frente da mesma. Decidida, Lynae usou seus últimos fios de força para se colocar entre o Razorwhip e os caçadores, dizendo que teriam de matá-la para fazerem o mesmo com o dragão. Achando que de fato fariam isso, a garota se surpreendeu ao ver que o Razorwhip atacar todos eles em sua defesa, sendo salvos somente pelo grupo de Cavalheiros que os encontraram após todo o tumulto causado.

Depois do episódio caótico Lyn se mudou permanentemente para Berk, descobrindo algo que nunca tivera, um lar. O Razorwhip com o qual desenvolvera uma conexão inquebrável não demorou a se tornar seu dragão e receber o nome de Igrit. Possuía uma personalidade semelhante à da garota, corajosa, sempre dando tudo de si, indo até o fim pelo que acreditava e até mesmo demonstrando certa apatia e traços agressivos com quem não conhecia, tudo fruto das experiências falhas que tivera em sua vida, Igrit e Lynae pareciam feitos um para o outro, sempre protetores, o dragão se tornou a família de Lyn que agora fazia o que mais queria de sua vida, ajudar as criaturas que tanto adorava. Passou pela Academia e atualmente é instrutora da mesma, não sendo lá a mais paciente tem sido um verdadeiro teste para a garota, que como sempre dá tudo de si, com o único propósito de ajudar os dragões.

Lynae é interpretada por Korra.

Son of a Bird, Kabbalah on witchcraft and Fallen Angels

Fallen Angels is a widely known concept, but many people have wrong perceptions.  One of the big myths is that the angels come to the physical world with a physical body.  Although there is a possibility that an angle can take a physical body such as when the Angels Visited and ate by Avraham Avinu. We know that it was for a certain time while doing their mission and when they finished they left their physical bodies and returned to the angel's world.  A fallen angel on the other hand is an angel that descends in its spiritual level because of our sins.  Contrary to the belief that it is an angel that was 'pushed' out of heaven and roams our physical world.

   Every mission that an Angle comes to our world for is temporary and the Angel always returns to its spiritual world.  An Angel can not come to this world permanently to stay, especially in a physical body.  Like a person can elevate his Spirituality through guarding the mitzvot, perfecting one's character, and Kabalistic meditations one can ascend to higher levels and elevate his consciousness to reach the spiritual realms. Ascending from the physical to the spiritual dimensions and receive revelations. Even to the level that he is similar to an Angel and barley has free will, in the same way, Angels are able to come to this world and reveal themselves for a specific purpose or to send a message, still, the physical body is only temporary.  

In Israel, this week's parashah is 'Balak' and next week in the diaspora.  The Parasha speaks of 2 wicked sorcerers, Bilam and Balak, that went to the school of witchcraft in the mountains of darkness that was run by two 'fallen angels'.  Although these 'Mountains of Darkness' seems like a description of a physical place, it is not.  Obviously you will not find them in our physical world (try on google maps) rather it is a spiritual place in one of the spiritual dimensions.  Just like we try to connect to the worlds of purity, likewise, Bilam and Balak tried to connect to a dark place where the revelation of Hashem is hidden, and that is where they found these angels who thought them the art of witchcraft. 

How and Why does Hashem give space to these mountains? 

Why put negativity in the world?

the answer that is brought down in the Ariza"l, is that the space that Hashem gave to the negativity is to punish the wicked people.  but this seems to us a contradiction it seems like a reward. They have techniques that give them wealth and fame.   We must take a deeper look. 

The qualities of the dimensions of darkness

Our physical world is spiritual in the middle between the lofty worlds of purity and the worlds of negativity where the mountains of darkness can be found.  when a person changes levels in their morality they can either elevate to become closer to Hashem (which is our purpose) or heaven forbid connect to the negative worlds.  The Negative worlds aka the dimensions of darkness is a place were resides all the powers of the tuma (impurity), and the power of the Klipot (shells).   

What does it mean to go up or down in the spiritual worlds?

It is not a physical elevator or plane. 

Since we do not know much about the negative worlds Barch Hashem, we do know that parallel the positive worlds of the kedusha (holiness) In the Kedusha as much as we go up in the higher levels there is more revelation of Hashem.

First, we go up to Asiah, even though there are many connections to this world, they are not the exactly same. The presence of Hashem is felt much stronger in this higher dimension. We see the same principle that when ascending higher to  Atzilut the revelations of the presence of Hashem are so abundant that one can see that there is nothing besides Hashem. In Beriah, it becomes so much more definite.  

On the opposite side in the worlds of negativity as much as one goes lower into the dimensions of negativity he does not see Hashem and loses the consciousness of the presence of Hashem and feels as there is no law, no judgment, and no punishment. This leads such people to go against the Torah

This is why when we talk with some people they can not understand the presence of Hashem because there consciousness in those lower dimensions.  

In Har Sinai, Am Yisrael said Na-aseh and Nishma we will do and we will hear; once we do a mitzvah it raises us to a higher level of spiritual understanding we will be able to comprehend the Torah that comes from a pure and high spiritual world.  This is also the meaning of mitzvah causes mitzvah and avera causes avera. Since when we do a mitzva we go higher and our revelation becomes more clear and we are able to do another mitzvah since we have less inclination to sin. On the opposite side when we sin there is a part of Hashem that is concealed from us that lets us sin again and makes it more difficult to do mitzvot. 

therefore those that do not live in holiness, and who still have revelations and powers, where do they get these from? From the Sitra Achara, the negative side, it is not possible that one can have revelations from Hashem if he is not pure. More on our website

Tomorrow we're kicking off our game after a break with a Beach Bash and I couldn't be more excited! #alphakingacademy

🦎 is @gatorgumz

One day I'll stop drawing and coloring on SBPro (and wasting money on CSP if I only use it for effects and BGs 🤡)

[aka-achara]

Time to post some old works! This was back in 2020, based on episode 4 of AKA where the kids end up in an underground fight club. Some fun Achara and Will character moments :)

[knithappens05]

[Fic] A Dressing Down

I don't do a lot of drawing, but I do write little stories about the AKA kids sometimes! Most of it isn't canon-compliant, just for funsies. This one I wrote after Diarmuid's player talked about him sharing sweaters with Moira on occasion, but it's some ColtxDee content for those jazzed about the Tiktok lore getting dropped. 8]b Enjoy!

I can’t figure out if she does this to be ironic or what.

It really was the stupidest thing he’d ever seen. Fuzzy, off-white, huge pom-pom flowers dropped on the front and sleeves, probably the back too. It looked like something someone would wear after losing a bet. But there Moira was, sitting across from him and chatting happily with Diarmuid about some cute video or something, looking totally unaware of how stupid she looked.

Whatever, it wasn’t like he cared what she wore.

But he did a couple days later when Diarmuid came back to the room late at night in the same stupid sweater. Colt looked up from the frustrating task of shoving all of his unfolded clothes into his dresser drawer and stopped to stare at the perfectly round abjurations dotting the front of that thing. Unmistakable, and Diarmuid was wearing it?

“Where’d you get that?”

“Huh?” It took Diarmuid a minute to figure out Colt meant the sweater, given the total lack of context clues. “Oh! Moira leant it to me. It’s cute!”

More beats passed as Colt processed this.

“Yeah.”

--

“I need to talk to you.”

Moira barely managed to scoop her homework and textbooks away in time before Colt could put his tray on top of them. She looked a little irritated.

“Hey Colt, yeah sure, have a seat, let me clear this for you.”

It didn’t register. “What’s going on with you and Diarmuid?”

Moira tilted her head and furrowed her brows. “Uh…? Nothing as far as I’m aware? Is he upset?”

“No,” Colt’s turn to look irritated that Moira wasn’t reading his mind.

“Okay, then… I have literally no idea what you’re asking me, then.”

He let out a short, loud sigh, looked away, tapped the table agitatedly, looked back. “Look I don’t care if you’re fucking, okay?”

Whatever theories Moira had been forming about what Colt was actually asking about, this was probably right at the very bottom. “Uhh…” She looked away for help—or verification she wasn’t going crazy. Colt took it as an admission of guilt.

“I don’t. Okay?”

“Colt I’m…” She was still struggling to figure out where to even start with this sudden and mysterious train wreck.

“But people are going to start noticing he’s wearing your shit, okay? So.” He shrugged as nonchalantly as he could, which ended up looking like it could have been a shoulder-check. So stop giving him your sweaters was implied, Colt was pretty certain of that.

Moira’s eyebrows flew up in sudden understanding. “Oh my god, no, Colt, he asked to borrow them! He’s not wearing my clothes because we’re like that, he asked and I said ‘yeah, I can’t wear them all at once, go ahead’!”

Colt softened just a little. “…Hm.”

“Why did you immediately think we were having sex? That’s like zero to sixty in two seconds.”

“I dunno. Boyfriend jeans or whatever.”

Moira looked like she was barely containing her incredulity. Eventually after enough stony silence from Colt and struggled parsing from Moira, she had to set the attempts to navigate Colt’s thought process aside—for her own sanity.

“No, Diarmuid and I are not… swapping clothes because we’re a couple and regularly undressing in front of one another. He saw one of my sweaters when he was over gaming with Achara, asked if he could borrow it, I was happy to let him. That’s it.”

“…I guess that makes sense.”

“You guess? What is with this interrogation? Why are you being so weird about some imagined meaning of borrowed sweaters?”

“Can you make me a sweater?”

For the second time in the span of three minutes, Moira felt like she had whiplash. “Wha--?”

“But like, a cool one. Not with all this shit you usually put on yours. Well, maybe a little of that.” One that Diarmuid might like. “But not a lot. And maybe a little small on me.”

Looking across the table at Moira now, Colt felt a strange but distinct cold front coming in from her direction as she stared back at him with all traces of confusion gone from her expression. She started putting her books in her bag without a word. Colt took this as a sign that he’d somehow fucked up.

“You want money? I could pay for it.”

“Ohh Colt Arvidsson, you couldn’t afford me even if you were still doing whatever the Hellions did.” Moira whipped a teal sharpie and hot pink post-its out of her bag, scribbled something on the top, yanked the note off and slapped it down on the table in front of Colt. “See you in class.”

Colt, frozen and awkward, watched Moira storm off and only chanced a glance at the note when she was totally out of his eyeline:

‘AMAZON.COM’

--

“Colt?” A light pounding at the door. “Can—can you open the door for me?”

At Diarmuid’s request, Colt quickly bounded across the room in three strides and opened the door to their room. Packages greeted him, Diarmuid somewhere underneath.

“Oh shit, let me help,” he started relieving Diarmuid of the parcels, stacking them in one hand easily.

“Thanks, they’re all for you I think? The people at the mailroom gave them to me to give to you, they said they’ve been there a few days. They’ve been emailing you.”

“I thought they’d just bring them here, isn’t that how mail works?”

“…No, you have to… there’s a mail room and you have to go get packages and mail there. They don’t just bring it to our dorm.”

“Huh.” So that’s what those emails were about.

“What’d you get? I was worried for a sec, but then I realized they were all pretty light.”

Colt started tearing apart the plastic pouches one by one, revealing sweater after sweater in navy, gray, black…

“O-oh…”

“Just thought I’d get some new stuff.”

“Y-yeah sure…”

Well, maybe Colt was turning over a new sartorial leaf. Far be it from Diarmuid to question it.

Just a little weird, for him especially, to get six or seven sweaters in April…
