#Abominable Snowball Fights

[neopianbiologyproject]

Abominable Snowball (poll at bottom)

sorry about the delay in getting this blog up n' postin', I realized after getting setup going that I don't actually know how I want to order this stuff. anyway, let's start by going roughly alphabetical

this is an Abominable Snowball!

Abominable Snowball A great friend... for as long as the weather stays cold.

Item Category: Wintery Petpet

Available From: Restocks in Wintery Petpets (Terror Mountain), but also available from the Ice Arena of the Battledome (Terror Mountain) and The Snowager (Terror Mountain)

the other places the Abominable Snowball occurs use rarity-based systems of item generation (i.e. they can give any item of a certain rarity regardless of origin, e.g Esophagor in Haunted Woods, The Wishing Well in Neopia Central, Kiko Pop in Kiko Lake).

therefore it's pretty easy to determine that the Abominable Snowball's natural territory is Terror Mountain, primarily Happy Valley and the Ice Caves.

Habitat: Terrorpolar Alpine Forests

here's the rub: Abominable Snowballs may not be naturally occurring

How to Build an Abominable Snowball Its quite easy once you look up how.

Abominable Snowballs can be built! this doesn't preclude them occurring naturally, but it is possible to roll some snow together, decorate it, and bring forth new life

note: it is not actually mechanically possible within the game of Neopets to build an Abominable Snowball, but that does not mean it doesn't happen outside of player influence.

(there is the question of whether Abominable Snowballs are even sentient, but it's the opinion of this blog that all Petpets are alive, or at least self-mobile, even Rocks, because all Petpets can enter and exit the Symol Hole independently)

this puts the Abominable Snowball's kingdom as either Elementa or Constructa, depending on whether they occur without Neopet influence.

i couldn't find any other items that lead me to believe one way or another, except that it's probably a common pastime to build Abominable Snowballs as one would a snowman:

Abominable Snowball Fights Those poor Abominable Snowballs...

Abominable Snowball Usuki Set This Usuki set comes with a carrot, mittens and buttons to dress up your Usukis Abominable Snowball.

the Abominable Snowball Acara Muffler and Abominable Snowball Acara Wig even equate the Abominable Snowball to a snowman:

Abominable Snowball Acara Muffler A muffler for the added effect of a snowman.

Abominable Snowball Acara Wig A pretty brown wig with a snowman hat for your Acara!

that said, building a regular snowman doesn't require instructions, as building an Abominable Snowball apparently does

also of note, Abominable Snowballs melt in heat and hot weather:

Desert Abominable Snowball Maybe this was a bad idea...

(note that this is also the only Abominable Snowball color that has a unique description)

Abominable Snowball Plushie Unlike the original, this ones an all-weather friend.

Abominable Snowball Borovan Oh no! Who dropped that poor Abominable Snowball in the mug?

however, there is something to be said for the fact that the Desert Abominable Snowball retains the intelligence of a white Abominable Snowball, and can be converted back into an Abominable Snowball of any color by repainting it -- there is some quality of its aliveness that is carried across all colors, even if it appears to have melted, and despite the apparent ease with which one can put together their own.

due to the magical properties of Paint Brushes, though, this only goes for melting or other conversion through painting; that one in the borovan is gone forever.

there is also something to be said for the fact that all Abominable Snowballs of one color share identical accessories in identical configurations. one requires a green and red hat with a pompom to make an Abominable Snowball; no other hat will suffice. likewise it is possible in theory to make a small snowman that is almost but not quite identical to an Abominable Snowball, but that does not come alive as a true Abominable Snowball would. maybe this indicates the platonic nature of an Elemental, but one that can be replicated by Neopians? or perhaps one that is intangible in its natural state and, through creation of a suitable host, brought forth to inhabit a body?

finally, there is no indication that an Abominable Snowball can be made in any of its other colors, only its default color of White. that is, it may be the case that one can build a white Abominable Snowball, but must repaint it to achieve other colors. (which raises questions about the Robot color and others, but we don't need to worry about them thank god).

note that if it may occur as an Elemental, it should be considered an Elemental, even if it could also occur as a Construct

you can also make an argument in the replies or in my ask, etc!

all of the items examined in making this post have been added to this wishlist on Jellyneo, including some that were not discussed here but had some other tidbits about the nature of Abominable Snowballs.

hello dear cokou! could you possible write a Law/strawhat!reader during their time at punk hazard. Law gravitates towards them since they aren’t as rowdy as the rest of the crew. i’m sorry if i didn’t articulate myself well, english isnt my first language.

Note ✉* ~ I LOVEE THIS REQUEST ANON, thank you so so much for requesting♥️ Also most of this contains some spoilers and non-spoils lelll! || Do not translate, transfer, or reform, this is my only account (exp. Ao3), will not be cross posted anywhere. || 𖤐٭┆Masterlist

Summary* ~ Law thinks you're less of a nuisance to be a Strawhat. Warnings* ~ SPOILERS FOR PUNK HAZARD! Shit writing || Genre* ~ SFW

ᶜᵃʳᵉ ᶠᵒʳ ˢᵒᵐᵉ ᵐᵘˢᶦᶜ, ʳᵉᵃᵈᵉʳ?

It surely was one of the most unsurprising things your Captain's ever done. Without anyone's opinion at all, HE decided that Trafalgar, will set up an alliance with your crew. WITHOUT asking for negative reactions at all, of course it's a typical thing that usually happens all the time by the pirate crew.

Law implies that he would be helping around with the Straw Hats in order to complete his far goal. Not even an hour in with Luffy and the other Straw Hats, he already grew veins on his forehead that were about to pop from the annoyance he received from all of their bullshits.

Zoro and Sanji kept fighting, Nami was beating Luffy up, and Franky kept screaming 'super' while everyone was in the middle of a fight. Not even Robin could comprehend with whatever was happening, it was all so noisy for the love of God. The snow was was violently raining upon you guys and your coat was starting to not help at all. You distance yourself apart from everyone to get away from their abominations.

Law follows right behind you, slowly catching up with you.

"Are they always like this?" Law asks.

"They have always been, sorry about their stupid behaviours." You sigh whilst looking back to see how the fight was going, it was toning down, yet it was still loud.

"All i'm gonna ask is how you comprehend yourself with them all the time."

"I usually isolate myself from them when a fight breaks out, which is every single day. It's been a constant routine for me." You give him a laugh.

Law frowns at the thought of bearing with them every single day and shook his head in disapprovement. You two ended up eating the time avoiding the fight in utter silence, sometimes offering questions to each other to lessen the boredom and awkwardness of the time being.

The fight stops (suprisingly) after a huge snowball got flung onto them and crushing them like pancakes.

"Where did that snowball come from?!" You shrieked.

"Don't tell them it was me." Law smiles and you two laughed your asses about it.

Ever since then Law pretty much gravitates towards you whenever you all are about to go somewhere, it's not because he likes you (he does), it's simply because you're much more chiller and less loud than everyone from the crew. You had sticked with Law as he gives you the peace that you surely deserve.

Course— not everything simply comes to a happy ending, the Navy reaches Punk Hazard. Law was more than able to meet them as he exited Caesar's lab, he picked up a fight with Vice Admiral Smoker and managed to take his heart and exchange it with their captain, Tashigi. Afterwards, he left and met you, and the straw hats once again.

Law darts towards you, completely dodging Luffy's handshake, making Luffy feel dismay.

"I don't think attacking them was a good idea."

"Would you rather die than fight the navy?" Law skeptically asked.

"No way!" You chuckle.

Towards the whole day, you spent time looking at unfamiliar things that you havent seen before. You found an ice-like flower (no its not in one piece😢), and suprisingly found out that it was used to make a certain medicine, said Law. On the way to the mountains, Law and you, got into some 'little' chatters thinking that everyone was following.

"Where are they?!" You yelped.

"Maybe they got lost." Law sighs.

Correction, BOTH of you got lost. You two retraced your steps but was disappointed as the heavy snowfall refrained you two from going back to the same direction as the last time. You two were led into the big crater parting the burning lands and the ice lands.

"OOI! (Name)! Tra-guy!" Luffy waved at the opposite side of the crater.

"Luffy?? how did you guys get there?!" You screamed.

"We swam the crater!" Another correction, Zoro and Sanji swam them into the other side.

Law grabs your clothes and walked backwards to the direction you came from.

"I really don't wanna spend time with those idiots."

"You allied with us so you have to."

Law thinks so carefully that he thought an alliance with the straw hats would be a great idea, although it gave him lots of stress more, he'd be grateful someone with the same humor and interest with him was on the ship nonetheless. Because, he won't be able to take the stupid personalities of the men aboard of the straw hats. He's atleast happy that he gets to experience 99% of there stupidity with you. (You two aren't happy anymore)

Author's note ✉* ~ I really brainstormed on what to write here, I haven't reached rhis part of Punk Hazard yet😭😭 I can say this request was hard to make but i will 100% do all requests for my dear supporters! Love yall :'D.

©Cokou 2024, all works belong to me.

Some sadly soft headcanons for Ness to distract the Fandom from whatever kind of abomination Chapter 261 is:

✦ Ness never stopped loving the books of magic genre and if you come from a different cultural background, then he'll love love love love to hear all the myth, legends and fairytales of your country. And whenever you do tell him about any story, he secretly records you and listens to them when he is far away from you for an international match—your voice helps him sleep better.

✦ After you came into his life, snowy days became his favourite. At last, he finally found someone who will make snowmen with him and maybe snowball fights with him too—it heals his inner child in a way. And, of course, he purposely lets you win everytime. Don't worry, he'll kiss your cold, red cheeks until they become warm again.

✦ His family never supported his soccer dreams, so no one ever came to watch him during his matches—he used to feel a bit lonely. However, everything changed and now he feels so giddy before matches knowing that you are in the crowd especially to cheer for him only. He just can't stop looking at your direction!

✦ Since his childhood, he was taught not to bother anyone for little things, so he gets a bit overwhelmed from time to time 'cause he wants to do everything for you—it's his love language. That's why, sometimes, you find him curled up on your shared bed silently waiting for you to hold him in your arms till he becomes okay again.

✦ As a neglected child, he knows how awful it feels to be unacknowledged, so he makes sure to praise or thank you for every little thing you do. No matter what it is, he'll always make sure to verbalise his gratefulness for every kind of effort you do for him.

✦ Because of the same reason mentioned above, he loves when you praise him or acknowledge him for anything. It doesn't need to be something grand. It can be as simple as a kiss or a small, "thank you" for making coffee and he'll float like a butterfly out of happiness.

✦ His phone's gallery is full of candid pictures of yours as he still believes that not everything in the world is describable—some moments are just pure magical, so he captures them and admires them whenever he misses you. It's like he has a crush on his own love partner. It's really adorable.

I would like to bash the Minecraft movie teaser immediately. Because we need to bully the studio into getting rid of it or changing it like we did to Sonic. It is the most egregiously hideous abomination of Minecraft I have ever had to look at through these poor shared bloodshot eyes. The animals look like fucking horseshit supreme! Like someone was fucking around with some fur shaders for the first time and went "What if I pulled in a model of a sheep from Minecraft?" That llama is gonna be in my nightmares and I'm gonna lucid dream for the first time in months just so I can banish it to the wretched cursed CG hell plane that it came from. But first I'm gonna bash it's hideous skull in so it doesn't come back!

I am so unimpressed by your wide angle shot of a landscape that is supposed to be Minecraft, and doesn't even pass for modded Minecraft! It doesn't look like the game at all! It looks like someone tried to do a 4k voxel style remake of genshin impact and then someone else photo-shopped random ass stock photos into it. And when is someone gonna tell the movie execs that we don't wanna look at Jason Momoa anymore!? I hate his stupid bearded face!

The only snowball's chance in hell that this thing has of being watchable at all is Jack Black, and even he looks scuffed as shit! You bought that man a blue T-shirt from the GAP SEVEN MINUTES before filming- didn't even check to make sure that shit fit him! LOOK AT THIS!!!

I love you Jack Black, but you are not Steve!!! YOU ARE NOT STEVE!!! Did anyone bother to like- LOOK at the source material for more than 0 seconds!? Do you realize what this movie COULD HAVE BEEN!? I CAN'T EVEN SIT HERE AND DESCRIBE TO YOU HOW BAD THIS MISS IS FOR ME, WE WOULD BE HERE ALL NIGHT!!!

GOD!!! AT LEAST GET HIM A PROPER SHIT FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!! FUCK!!! FUCKING FUCK!!! FUUUUUCCCKKK!!!!

MOTHER FUCKING DAMNIT! BITCHES IN HELL!!! FUCK THIS MOVIE! PLEASE KILL THIS MOVIE!! BOMB THIS FUCKING MOVIE!!! I need all of you internet haters to pretend this thing is Morbius! When this comes out in theatres, if they haven't at least tried to fix it. Every time you see it just pretend it's Morbius. It is not worth your time. Do not see it. Even if you really like Jack Black. Do not.

You know what fuck it- I can write a long ass post.

Listen, you have to understand that I love Minecraft. I love Minecraft so much. I love running around, making things and exploiting villagers. Roaming vast landscapes of blocks and tricking the skeletons into shooting each other. The greatest burden of my childhood is that I couldn't convince my friends to continue playing Minecraft with me. If Minecraft were a beautiful woman, I would marry her. We would host lavish dinner parties and all of the guests would compete to build the coolest Minecraft build, and I would always win because Minecraft is my wife! Now I will proceed to spend several minutes resisting the urge to describe even the most intimate aspects of this theoretical marriage I would have to Minecraft in excruciating and graphic detail. (The fuck was I saying?)

This movie could have been LITERALLY ANYTHING! Because if it has ever happened, it has happened in Minecraft. This could've been a thriller, a murder mystery, an action movie, they could have remade literally anything and gotten away with it because "It's Minecraft, it's different" They could have made INFINITE MINECRAFT MOVIES!!! But more painful to lose, and more painful to see missing from the discourse about this film is that it could have told stories that nothing else could have told. This could have been a base wars movie, this could have been about conflicting factions competing for land, with complex politics, interesting heroes and villains, doing goofy ass shit like building sheep everywhere or making chicken bombs as much as they actually genuinely fight with TNT cannons and crazy ass ANIMATED PVP sequences. This movie could have been FUCKING SICK!!!

This could have been a retelling of an anarchy server's history, or a long romantic love letter to the game itself in movie form, or a playful exciting romp through someone's LAN game but from the perspective of those in game characters- AND NO ONE PLAYS AS STEVE HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THERE!!! Where is our community's representation??? I don't trust this studio to show us massive sprawling builds that represent years of work, the fortresses, the cathedrals, the giant nether mansions. We're not going to see seasoned players strike down the ender dragon with 5 beds and a wooden axe. We're not getting elytra courses, SMP stories, redstone computers, massive pixel art, giant sculptures, hidden signs in peoples bases, pastoral communities farming by the river, villager outposts, torn up server spawns, that one guy who built a 150 block tall wheat farm overnight, the absolutely massive expanse of mods for this thing, the elaborate RP plots, the full on cities constructed by dozens of people, adventure maps, survival challenges, that one fucking log by the door that you keep stripping on accident- THE ACTUAL ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT MINECRAFT IS FOR ANYONE!?!?

NO!!! NOOOOO!!! None of that for you! You know what you get instead!?!?

You get JACK FUCKING BLACK trying to lug this 150-million dollar 6000 pound TURD through the box office BY HIMSELF!!! In a shitty blue T-shirt that some poor underpaid intern bought for him for 9$, 7 minutes before they started filming!!!

and I don't think he can do it!

There's no band-aid big enough to make this better.

Not even Jack Black!

I can imagine Hyrule trying to gain information to help Altered Beast!Reader. Twilight joins him cause he rather not have his comrade run himself ragged but also knowing their ally goes THROUGH a transformation like that constantly makes him cringe.

Hyrule probably start with the pain scale or element in question to see which is easiest and hardest to work on. Like if he has enough key details then he might at least find an alternate way for Reader to transform. A conduit of sorts similar to a certain Rancher.

Hyrule: On a scale of 1-10, how does it feel turning into...Minotaur right?

Reader: You know how Four describes his work at the forge? *Blacksmith perks up* Melting metal and pounding on it once it's in a more solidified state? It's like that since the Minotaur can hardened into steel as a defense mechanism. So I say...6.5 at best.

In the end, they listed U.W.H, Werewolf (and Were-Tiger if Twilight doesn't speak up about Wolfie) as the hardest to work on. Reader doesn't dare approach testing their abilities unless everyone is okay with it. Transforming the first time wasn't pretty even if it was an emergency.

Reader: I know some of you guys still don't trust me and are concerned about the safety of the group. My transformations aren't exactly pretty either so I might need some privacy though.

Wild: I can use the Sheikah Slate to keep track of their signature. That way someone still has an eye on them as they shift.

Doesn't stop Reader from being a little shit during any practice though. Someone is gonna get a snowball to the face by the Abominable Snowman or water splashed on them via Merman.

(... I thought it was just one or the other ^.^*

You're telling me that they can do all of those?)

The snowball to the face was Time and Twilight.

I bet Wind would ask for piggy back ride or on the shoulders because then he'd be able to see so much more. And it's fun.

Four comes around a bit quicker than Legend and Hyrule do. Nothing personal. But Legend and Hyrule are wondering if Reader's world just...has these monsters walking about and how woudl you go about fighting them?

Their Hyrule was messed up enough as it is. Are you telling me it could be harder?

Coven Head Christmas headcanons

I’m pretty sure Christmas (or at least a Demon Realm version of it) exists based on this pic:

Now it’s the coven heads’ turn!

Raine:

Composes new Holiday songs every year

Knows all the existing songs by heart

May be shy in front of an audience, but they LOVE singing and playing along with their friends

Puts on a special red bow just for their violin

All the ornaments on their tree are of instruments

Always stands under mistletoe (by accident, of course)

Darius:

Makes abominations to decorate for him

Is the most relaxed when it comes to the holidays

Can be found humming all the Christmas songs

Gives out either clothes or skin-care products as presents

Says he doesn’t need anything, but secretly hopes he gets the most presents out of everyone

Eberwolf:

Very grateful, you can get him anything and he’ll give you a hug

“It’s an avocado! Thanks!”

Gives everyone something called “snow pies”. It’s what it sounds like

Gives all the beast demons their own Christmas presents

Terra:

Is the one creating all the Christmas trees for Belos

Puts bows on all of her plants

Her greenhouse is filled with lights

This is the only time she doesn’t hold any grudges

Spoils Petunia and Saul with presents

Puts flowers instead of ornaments on her tree

Adrian:

Adrian goes all out—Christmas music blasting, fake snow, and house covered in decorations like that one scene in the live-action “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”

Most of the decor are just illusions

Binge-watches all the holiday movies, even the bad ones

Is a little less insufferable around that time

Hettie:

Tries to get Vitimir under the mistletoe

Decorates the Healing Coven building herself

Wears ugly Christmas sweaters cuz she can

If you say one bad word about said sweaters, you’ll be spending Christmas under her care

Vitimir:

Compared to everyone else, he’s the closest thing to the Grinch

Often the victim of Adrian’s bright decirations

Is forced to wear sweaters against his will

Prefers to sit by the fire while everyone else plays in the snow

Tried to make his own hot cocoa once. It backfired.

His face softens whenever someone gives him a present, it’s adorable

Osran:

Very festive around the holidays

The ghosts help him decorate his mansion with lights

Has mistletoe everywhere as an excuse to either kiss or get kisses from Ophelia

Kurse hogs all the apple blood and the Demon Realm’s version of eggnog

Makes hot cocoa for everyone

Has a holiday party every year with his and Scooter’s family

#1 gift giver

Mason:

Looks forward to Christmas cuz he gets to hang out with his kids more

Is a pro at snowball fights

When Steve and Matt were little, he used to give them cute handmade toys he built himself

Built sleighs for both Steve and Matt so they’d look cool

His signature hammer was a Christmas present from Steve

Bonus:

All the coven heads take turns putting at least one ornament on the tree in the castle

Double Bonus:

Scooter can cause all of the Boiling Isles and Bonesborough to sing along with him during a Christmas song. Hunter is usually with him cuz he deserves to be happy around the holidays

DOVAHJOJO: a bizarre adventure.

Saturnalia Sorrows.

Jotunn Jostjarna or "Jojo" is a young boy living on his family's farm in Cheydinhal, Cyrodiil. Tonight will be the last Saturnalia he will spend with his family.

On the outskirts of Cheydinhal city sat a little farm, Jostjarna Ranch. The cozy little farmhouse sat beside a tiny pond with a field of grazing cows on the other end, inside the farmer, his wife and their young son were all waking up to the morning of Satinalia.

“Happy Saturnalia Mama, Papa!” the young boy chipped as he excitedly hugged his parents goodmorning, “good morning and happy saturnalia to you too, Jojo” the boy’s father said mirthfully. 

“Would you like to come with me to pick up some ingredients for tonight’s feast?”, “yes mama” Jojo hopped excitedly down the stairs and into his winter boots.

 Cheydinhal was beautiful this time of year, the whole city was decorated in cheerful red and blue hues, candles lit up the streets and the scent of baked goods filled the air. 

Snow was piled high all throughout the city and children took to making snow-soldiers, snow-aedra, sledding and throwing snowball fights. “Mama can I go play with the other children?”, “of course, just come back when we call you” his mother smiled and as she watched her son gleefully run off to play.

 “Hi guys, is it ok if I play with you?”, “ew no!” a girl shrieked, “why should we let an elf like you play with us?” a boy snickered, “yhea, go find another snooty Altmer to play with!” another boy laughed.

Jojo held back tears as the bullies ran away laughing at him.

“I-I’ll play with you” a scrawny boy with bright red hair said, he was hiding shadows and was dressed in fine clothes “what’s your name?”, “Jotunn Jostjarna but people call me Jotti or Jojo for short” he grinned. “What’s your name?”, “Cicerolli Zeppli but I like being called Cicero for short” the boy said.

The duo made a snow-soldier with a bucket for a helmet, pebbles for eyes and a carrot for a nose, “carrots are my favorite food” Cicero hummed “and sweetrolls”.

“You should try my Mama’s carrot cake sweetrolls they are fantastic!” Jotti beamed.

Jotti heard his mother calling for him.

“Oh I gotta go, but here take this, consider it a saturnalia gift” Jotti said as he wrapped his patchwork blue scarf around Cicero’s neack, “this…f-for me?” Cicero said in tears “thank you”.

Jotti and his mother returned home to feast, they dined on roasted venison, vegetable soup and holiday treats like birch cookies and sweet nogg. “Are you ready to open your presents?” his mother turned to him and laughed a little as she saw her son had a mustache of sweet nogg on his upper lip, “I am mama, WAIT you should open my presents to you first!” he excitedly hopped about.

“We can wait to open ours, you go ahead and open yours” Jotti’s father chuckled.

The gift from his mother was a ring that regenerated his magicka and the gift from his father was a strange dagger “whoa dad what is this made of?” Jotti eyed the blade amazed, “skyforged steel, I saw a vendor selling it, he had come from my homeland of skyrim”.

“Papa, do you think I’ll ever get to visit skyrim?” Jotti’s big blue eyes sparkled with joy, “perhaps one day” his father smiled and rustled his son’s deep brown hair.

A loud banging at their door took their attention away from the night's festivities. 

“Oh? I wonder who that could be?” Jotti’s mother pondered as she got up to open the door, “Jojo…head into the kitchen and be quiet” his father said as he reached for his sword which rested on the fireplace mantle.

Just as Jotti had reached the back door he heard an awful sound, his mother screamed and his father shouted for him to run, Jotti did as he was told and booked it out the door.

He looked behind him and saw strange elves like his mother dressed in black and gold robes or in golden armor.

“Go! Kill the hybrid abomination!” one of them, a cruel looking woman ordered, “yes head justicar Elenwen” her men replied as they chased after Jotti.

Jotti ran, he ran like the freezing wind.

He ran into the forest and dove into a frigid river to escape them, his half nord blood gave him some resistance to the cold.

Jotti kept running even after he thought he had lost them.

Eventually he grew weak, he could not run forever.

Jotti collapsed in the snow…

Jotti awoke later in a temple, the priestess, a kind argonian woman, told him he was found by the guard and that he was in the city of Bravil.

Jotti stayed at the temple until he had recovered, while recovering he learned that the empire was being invaded.

The people who had killed his family were the Aldmeri Dominion, the Thalmor.

Jotti left the temple and now lives on the streets…but fate smiles kindly on him.

[tavtiers]

Can I have some information about the maid of doom? Like the weapons. My interests as such are plauge doctors, and cryptids.

Of course! Character weapons seem to be most influenced by the theme of the character themselves, rather than purely classpect based (like Jade fighting with a gun because it’s what her grandfather used or Tavros charging into battle with a lance like a bull). 

However, some classpect influence can be seen with characters like John (Thor’s hammer = Breath) and Dave (Sword = Knight).

If this is a weapon for a character based on yourself, I would first focus on what weapons the character would have available in their environment. Does a family member carry a gun? Is there a fireplace with fire pokers? 

Next, I would look at what weapon in that environment the character would be  drawn to. Say they had a predilection for baking. They would likely choose a spoon over a sword. When do they first allocate a weapon to their strife specibus? If they are swamped by imps they may choose the first weapon at hand. What would the closest weapon be in that environment, if that were the case?

After these questions are answered you can look at possible weapons from a  Maid of Doom standpoint. Going back to the spoon versus sword scenario, what weapon a character chooses out of their available options can then be influenced by their classpect. 

Maids seem to use weapons strongly influenced by their aspect. Jane fights with utensils, a symbol of life (food). Aradia has a quick whip reminiscent of Indiana Jones (speed & archaeology = time). Porrim likely uses makeupkind (beauty = space). 

On the other hand, Doom players have never been shown to use a strife specibus. The closest we have seen is Sollux picking up ninja stars.

Given this information, you might look at Doom-centric weapons that are intangible/thrown. Perhaps some sort of poison bomb/noxious substance? A spray that causes illness?

For plague doctors a sickness bomb may fit the bill (Bombkind). As for cryptids, there are so many it would depend on the type. The Abominable Snowman could be snowballs that rot flesh on impact (Ballkind). Mothman could be thrown feathers that give your enemies overwhelming apocalyptic visions (Otherkind?). 

I doubt that a Sburb player could easily get their hands on a bomb when first allocating their specibus, but perhaps your Maid of Doom could start out with stink bombs? Or syringes?

I hope this helps!

[furiouspatience]

Results of the year yes? I want to let them down earlier.

You all know perfectly well how this year started abominably, and then, like a snowball, everything gets worse and worse (for me especially, I live in Russia). I don't usually make wishes, and I don't celebrate holidays, but right now I'd like to have some fun. To be warm, surrounded by friends, and feel joy and happiness (and not all this shit). And my only wish is for people to open their eyes, and understand what an ass they are in now, and start fighting at least for their own sake.

What about the arts? Well, you can look at them yourself. I, in turn, finally began to use filters to make it look beautiful and pleasing to the eye. I'll probably post one or two more drawings here, and then I'll draw off the Internet until January. But this is not accurate.

HOLIDAYS 2022

[SNOWBALL FIGHT] (Reverse): For the receiver to throw a snowball at the sender and initiate a snowball fight — @akuzeisms

Rust is not the type to participate in Christmas celebrations and traditions: Still, as he kneels in the snow, covered from head to toe in wool, building a snowman that's more like an abomination, he looks in childish wonder at the snowball in his hand and wonders what it would be like to throw it at Katrina, just a few feet away with her very own snowman.

The wonder is short-lived because, soon enough, the ball flies in her direction, hitting her on the arm and causing her to drop the carrot she was about to place in the face of her creation.

"Ooh."

Rust hides his reaction behind his scarf, but his eyes tell her everything she needs to know.

"Sorry 'bout that."

730ish.com: Celebrating a Decade of Deconstruction

[demigoddessqueens]

For some reason it snowed today and me and my friends had an epic snowball fight and made fools of ourselves which I won. What would a snowball fight be like with each of the campaigns. Who somehow cheats, complains about the cold, makes a stupidly complex battle plan, and like me trips on ice 50 times that day (I'm okay my cats are keeping me warm).

Oh a snow day sounds like the best!!

Vox Machina

Two teams! Alpha team Vax, Vex, Percy, and y/n. Gold team Grog, Pike, Scanlan and Keyleth. Any questions?

Scanlan’s using Bigby’s hand so he’s cheating 😝, Percy and Vax are shivering their asses off, the girls look adorable in ear muffs, and Grog is relentless with the giant snowballs

The Mighty Nein

Frankie Stein As A Host For Proselyte

Ok. Here I’ll be going over why I think Frankie Stein would make a suitable host for Proselyte, the embodiment of compassion and what might happen if Proselyte were to choose her to be their host. Also, Spoiler Alert for the Monster High franchise and the Green Lantern comics. With that out of the way, let’s dive right in.

First off, I’m gonna go over why I think Frankie would chosen by Proselyte. Proselyte chooses a host based on how compassionate said host is. This was shown in Green Lantern Vol 4 #59 where Proselyte chose a medic named Shane Thompson as their host because of his willingness to save injured patients even while he was in the middle of a truck accident. That obviously shows a sheer amount of compassion on Shane’s part and Proselyte most likely saw that compassion as a good reason to choose Shane as their host. And Frankie has shown great amounts of compassion too. For example, as shown in the movie Monster High Friday Night Frights, Frankie allowed the gargoyles to keep their school crest even though she and the rest of her team won the Skulltimate Roller Maze Championship against them thus, according to the rules, allowing them to take away the crest and also despite the fact that just earlier in the movie, they took away the Monster High school crest which was causing Monster High to fall apart (in the Monster High universe, it turns out that taking away a school crest causes said school building to fall apart as established in Monster High Friday Night Frights). Frankie chose mercy over revenge. And winning back the Monster High school crest for the sake of her own school was good enough for her. So, Proselyte would definitely choose Frankie as their host for these reasons.

Next, I’m gonna go over how Frankie and Proselyte would interact with each other after Proselyte enters Frankie’s body. Frankie, while usually optimistic, can have trouble getting along with a person she’s only just met if they get off on the wrong foot as shown in the webisode ‘Back-To-Ghoul’ where she got into a snowball fight against Abbey Bominable when Frankie thought Abbey was throwing snowballs at her. And since that’s nothing compared to getting possessed by a type of entity that you’ve never seen before, Frankie will probably have trouble processing what’s going on and might even start freaking out. But Frankie is willing to try to get along with Abbey despite what she seemingly did as shown in the webisodes ‘Abominable Impression’ where she tried to make the most of being stuck with Abbey for the rest of the school day and ‘Frost Friends’, was only on the brink of giving up when it seemed like Abbey was being rude to her friends. So, after being given some time to process the situation, Frankie might try to make the most of her situation like that with Proselyte. As shown in the Green Lantern Sinestro Corps Special, some of the entities of the Emotional Spectrum like Parallax, the embodiment of fear, take control of their hosts whereas other entities of the Emotional Spectrum like Ion, the embodiment of willpower, only support their hosts. And I think that how each entity affects their host is different than how each type of Lantern Ring affects their wielder because unlike the Lantern Rings, the entities are each fully sentient. So, just like how a ghost could enter a host’s body and then proceed to assert their will over said host and thus commandeer that host’s body, the entities can also assert their will over their host to some extent. Except the exact effect the entity has over their host probably also depends on which part of the Emotional Spectrum they embody. Plus, in order to assert their will over their host, the entity has to be willing to do so. And, judging by the exact way Shane Thompson spoke in Green Lantern Vol 4 #59 while Proselyte was inhabiting his body, I don’t think Proselyte wasn’t willing to completely assert their will over their host. This is strictly just guess work on my part but judging by the way the possessed Shane Thompson said referred to Proselyte as “Proselyte” rather than as “I” or “Me” (granted, he did use the word “Me” while talking about the power that flowed within him and within Proselyte but he could’ve been referring to he himself rather than Proselyte; like I said, this is strictly guess work on my part). So, given that, it was probably Shane Thompson speaking and not Proselyte. So, Proselyte probably didn’t commandeer his body. Also, judging by the way he monologued, Shane’s perception of certain things and his personality were probably altered by Proselyte. Proselyte probably did that to ensure Shane was ready for the Indigo Tribe’s mission to help people across the cosmos. Still doesn’t change the fact that Proselyte practically brainwashed a person, though. So, all of the same would probably go for Frankie if she were to be possessed by Proselyte. However, given everything I said about Frankie on this point, she might be able to reason with Proselyte and get them to not change her personality or alter her perception in any way shape or form. After all, one of the main things Frankie’s compassion centers around is being proud of yourself just the way you are as shown in the movie Monster High Ghouls Rule where Frankie tried to give everyone a speech of how you should be proud of their differences, not embarrassed of them.

Now, I’ll be going over Frankie’s powers would be affected by Proselyte. Frankie’s electrical power has been shown to be capable of animating life in the webisode ‘Home Ick’ where Frankie’s electrical power successfully helped bring a gingerbread man to life. And after taking into account the fact that it took people’s life energy rather than only electricity to bring Frankie back to life in the movie ‘Monster High Freaky Fusion, the electrical power coursing through Frankie’s being is probably something unique. If Frankie was only brought to life by normal electricity, then bringing Frankie back to life with normal electricity surely would’ve worked. But it didn’t as shown in the movie Monster High Freaky Fusion. So, judging by all of that, the reason why Frankie is able to manipulate her electricity as shown in the webisode ‘Miss Infearmation’ and the reason why her body parts such as her hand are able to move on their after being detached from the rest of her body as shown in the webisode ‘Fear Squad’ is because her own life energy is fused with her own body’s electricity. Given how spontaneous a living being and by extension their life force can be, the fact that a body’s electricity can be prone to imbalances and the fact that having your life force fused with your body’s electricity would probably give you control over that electricity since we already have control over our bodies’ life force within the body’s limit and until the day we die, those attributes probably combined when Frankie was brought to life in the first place thus allowing her to manipulate her body’s electricity and probably also allowed her body parts to move on their own after being detached from the rest of the body. And, as shown in Green Lantern Vol 4 #60, Proselyte was able to replicate the powers of multiple different parts of the Emotional Spectrum at the same time. And since, as shown in Green Lantern New Guardians #16, all the different parts of the Emotional Spectrum combined together make the White Light Of Life, Proselyte could probably use Frankie’s unique life force to replicate the White Light Of Life.

Finally, I’m gonna go over what Frankie and Proselyte would do after they join together. As shown in the webisode ‘Student Disembodied President’, Frankie was willing to run for student disembodied president in order to help the zombies against the way other monsters treat them and as shown and stated in Green Lantern Vol 4 #59, Proselyte was willing to help the Indigo Tribe with their mission of helping people against bigotry, hatred and evil. So, it won’t be hard for Frankie and Proselyte to find common ground since they both are dedicated to helping people. And considering the fact that, as shown in the movie Monster High Ghouls Rule, Frankie wants to spread the message that she and everyone else “shouldn’t be embarrassed of their differences. We should be proud” Proselyte might see that and will be willing to help Frankie spread that message.

Well, that’s all for this post.

See you all next time.

Danny took a deep breath. He’d waited in the park to tell the heroes to mind their business, but they were already geared up for a fight. The blue leeched out of his eyes as he looked at the four teenagers.

“Listen, I’m on vacation after finals,” he said softly. “Kindly fuck off and let me get my goddamn coffee.”

“You reek of death magic,” Raven challenged.

“And you talk a lot of shit for a half demon,” Danny fired back.

Beast Boy growled as Raven flinched, but Danny just rolled his eyes.

“Whatever daddy issues you have are your own business, just like what I do as a civilian—on vacation—is mine, okay?” Danny turned away from them and started walking. “Your internalized prejudice doesn’t make me a threat, it makes you irritating as fuck. Just leave me alone and there will be no problems.”

Robin stepped up then and managed to say the most horrifying phrase to ever be said:

“You wouldn’t run if you had nothing to hide.”

Danny stopped, turned around, and put up a shield around the Titans. It got smaller and smaller as he took his time walking towards them, with each attack being absorbed harmlessly. When he was only a few feet away from their barely cramped bubble, he stopped.

“I don’t like you, and you haven’t fucking earned this,” Danny hissed. “Unfortunately, if someone doesn’t get this through your heads, I’ll be in charge of your annoying asses before you can grow up. Can everybody keep their mouths shut for this teachable moment or do I have to gag you?”

Beast Boy tried to say something, but a snowball hit him in the face.

“Anyone else?” Danny asked.

The rest of the Titans only glared as they stepped in front of Beast Boy.

“So first of all, you’re all a few years older than I was when I started the hero thing. It sucked.”

Danny grinned as that sunk in. It was a mean, petty thing, and he was only getting started on the trauma dumping.

“The eldritch ghosts I was fighting thought I was just an asshole keeping them out of an amusement park, and the humans I fought thought I was a non-sentient abomination trying to cull humanity. I was a child who had just died, and also the only one who could stop both sides from hurting people.” Danny’s smile got tight. “I was threatened, hunted, experimented on, and tortured by both sides for their amusement. I did my best for over 5 years, until I could destroy my own grave to make it stop.”

Raven’s face crumpled, and Danny nodded.

“So you know I’m stuck here, and that I’m going to End one day,” Danny said. “I willingly gave up my Beginning to make sure that every miserable, ungrateful fuck I’ve ever dealt with didn’t destroy a decent chunk of the known universe.”

“How did you even manage to do it?” Raven asked.

“I died codependent as fuck, and my primary driving force is being helpful, with an emphasis on protection,” Danny said bluntly. “Limiting my Infinity saved a decent chunk of the universe, so the math was mathing. It still took a year for me to work up the nerve though.”

“So you’re going to die?” Beast Boy asked tentatively.

“He’s already dead, and he sacrificed the chance to ever move on,” Raven corrected.

“It’s actually worse than that,” Danny said, transforming. “When I died, I got stuck halfway. It’s a crap shoot on whether I’m going to End as soon as my human side fails, or if I’m just going to be an immortal who ages normal—you okay there, spooky?”

Raven looked like she was about to be sick, and Danny was actually getting concerned. He didn’t think that over-exposure to ectoplasmic energy was toxic to her demonic side, but Ancients knew if there was some bullshit he’d missed. Just as he was about to drop the shield to check, she managed to speak up.

“My apologies, King Pariah, I didn’t recognize you,” she said, practically shaking.

“Ope!” Danny started slapping out the crown. “Right title, but wrong guy! Remember the hero bullshit? I kicked his ass in single combat and accidentally won the whole dimension.”

“So let me make sure I’ve got this right,” Cyborg said slowly. “We just chased an ex-hero, turned inter-dimensioal royalty, across the city because we did the magical equivalent of racial profiling?”

“Inter-dimensional god-king, and the old one scared Trigon,” Raven clarified.

“I need to question my white friends more before I agree to shit,” Cyborg muttered into his hands.

“Not gonna lie, that’s the smartest thing Tucker’s ever done,” Danny said.

Looking at the brats, Danny sighed and dropped the shield. They all seemed properly ashamed and terrified, so he just needed to hammer one last nail into the coffin.

“So, everyone gets that they need to think before they jump to conclusions, right? We’ve all internalized it?”

Everyone nodded, and Danny clapped his hands.

“Great, let’s never do this again! Just so you know, that wasn’t even me wearing kid gloves, I was using a baby blanket. It won’t happen again! You though,” Danny pointed at Robin, “You’re going to call Papa Bat and ask for more lessons on deescalation.”

“I’m not doing that,” Robin said, crossing his arms.

“You sure about that, kid?” Danny raised an eyebrow. “You just harassed me based off of a hunch, heard me say, “I’m not a problem, I’m just on vacation,” and goaded me into attacking when I was trying to leave.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m not talking to him,” Robin said through his teeth.

“Then you leave me no choice,” Danny said with as much fake sadness as he could muster. He pulled out his phone and hit speed dial.

“Phantom speaking. This is a business call, so I’ll keep it short: Please tell your grandson to stop assuming the worst without evidence, and also to stop provoking said presumed threats.” Danny casually put the shield back up as Dick lunged for him. “If I was actually what they thought I was, he and his friends would’ve been wiped from existence about 10 minutes ago.”

“Noted,” said Alfred.

“Thanks, A, you’re the best,” Danny said fondly.

The line disconnected as Robin continued to yell frantic apologies, but Danny just waved before turning invisible. He hovered over the kids to wait.

Less than 3 minutes later, Robin’s comm started blaring with a priority alert.

DP X Teen Titans

Danny ends up in jump city for no fucking reason and Raven's magic bs detector goes fucking ringing. Shoots up off the couch, scares the shit out of everyone and storms off to find out wtf just entered the city limits. Everyone is stunned and just rush to follow her.

Danny on the other hand just wants a fucking coffee. He's in a coffee shop, faced with the longest line he's ever been in and in a shit mood when some purple bitch in a swimsuit and cloak comes at him radiating angry magic.

"Nope"

And just fucking dissappears.

Everyone else in the coffeshop is caught off guard by the fact that raven, the creepy-cool hot occulist lady just chased some poor meta put of the coffee shop, but then the rest of the teen fucking titans burst though the door!

And this repeats and repeats at every coffee shop in the city over and over and it's a massive social media trend to guess where Raven's gonna storm in next.

Eventually Danny's sick of this shit and sticks around long enough for all the Teen Titans to catch up.

Danny: I just want a damn coffee, leave me alone!

Raven: yeah sure, I don't fucking know what you are but it sure isn't good!

Danny: oh my god, just respect my privacy and leave me the fuck alone!

Beast Boy, who would side with Raven 100% of the time: How do we know your not a supervillain or something?

Danny: Benefit of the doubt, just like any other goddamn citizen! And I'm a SuperHero anyways.

Beast Boy: really?

Danny: retired, but yeah.

Remus is a summer boy, and he hates the cold unless there's snow. Snow is just magical to him. Virgil is good with the cold, but not the snow, like some kind of northerner (derogatory)

After a day of harassing Roman in the snow (snowball fights, weird snowman building) Remus comes in and changes into dry clothes and curls up under his covers. He's still freezing. And then Virgil shows up with a mug of cocoa mixed with hot cider and black tea. Remus happily drinks the abomination and rambles about his adventures and Virgil listens. He curls up next to the duke and snuggles with him until they both pass out.
