Flicker

Hundreds of years ago the fire moth people, or Nari'shi, lived on volcanic Islands to the South. Unfortunately, there was a catastrophic period of forest fires in the nearby lands that spread from the wild, to crops, and finally villages.

The Nari'shi contain the ability to generate enough heat to create flames. This is because they naturally have a sixth sense to read energy through their antennae and have a much higher resistance to the natural heat from the volcano's they live nearby and depend on. Due to these factors, they can use their own stores of energy and release that through the friction their thick fur creates in fast movement. They even had group dances that would create sparks from the fast movements and touches.

However, that ability to create flame is why they were blamed for the tragedies that continued, even if they was no real evidence they had done those things. Due to complicated politics of the time, including the greed and power tactics of many leaders, they were used as scapegoats for not just the fires but many other things.

During their season of Dormancy And Rest, or Winter, many attacks were made against them using cruel techniques. IN the end their rule was dismantled and they were forced to pay for "retributions." Having no home and no wealth, they agreed to contracts that essentially trapped them and their families in generations of forced labor, abusive surveillance, and working conditions that violated many human rights.

Most work in the Fire Works, where their energy is used either to forge weapons with their fire or create magical energy capsules for a variety of purposes. It's a grim and gruesome reality. Schooling and any method for empowerment or escape from that lifestyle are banned using racist ideas to back it up.

Red, or rather Flicker in this au, worked and lived in those horrible conditions. One day, an older man who had taken care of him, was being yelled at by one of the surveyors. He was too slow. It didn't matter that he was overworked, exhausted, and slowed down by the years of intense labor. He'd be punished for his slowness anyways. Most of the time, the only reason it happened was just to make an example.

At a certain point, everyone reaches a limit. Even though it was stupid, and the elder man begged him not too, Flicker tried to defend him. Tried to make an excuse or aid him in some way, to make the pain less. Things only escalated unfortunately. Then other people were roped into it. More serious threats were made.

Flicker, well, he ended up determined to defend him. And with his own temper his own flame flared up. So hot it broke his own restraints. Apparently, he was "gifted" with a strong fire. People like that were sent down to the Tartarus Plant. No one ever came back from there. No one that ever went there saw the sky again. The beautiful sun would be a dead memory.

So he ran. Sure, it was a rather explosive escape. Sure, if he was caught he'd face a fate worse than death itself. Maybe he accidentally did cause several fires because of the adrenaline and lack of restraint paired with this "gift" (more like a curse.) Miraculously he manages to escape on a raft. Or well, he would've been shot down if Flicker did that. The Island was full of guards.

It's more accurate that they thought he died and then he thought he died when the small boat exploded around him. Flicker wasn't exactly sure what happened. A selkie folk, who knew the ocean and its depths, wouldv've realized that he'd been dragged off by a vicious rip current. And managed to survive purely because he was entangled in a boyyant piece of the small boat he stole.

As for the whole "drowning" issue? No clue on that, for all anyone would ever guess is that either some guardian spirit was watching over him or maybe he just was so near death and hot that he just created an air bubble from all the water he was heating up. Who knows honestly.

Of course, when he washed up in some small cave on the cliff side of some foreign land, he had to admit he was relieved. Sure, there was no way out due to the tides that blocked the exit of the cave. Perhaps, he'd never leave this place and he'd just starve inside, it wasn't like he could swim. Honestly, it was better than whatever fate was awaiting him at the Fire Works.

But then he noticed a frozen chunk of ice near the corner of the cave. At first, he thought it was a strange rock, he'd never seen ice before. There was even clams growing around it as well. He felt droplets melt as he touched it. While he observed the strange thing, he noticed a strange shape inside. So, he melted through it. And then...

A MEAL- Okay, it was probably some dead disease infested animal that died some unfortunate death- But cmon! It PROBABLY wouldn't kill him and honestly- Maybe he could make this work! He'd get enough energy from eating that weird freaky looking animal and maybe he'd learn how to fish! He could just- Drink the water dripping from the stalactites above! He'd survive!!

Well, that's what he thought before he was about to try to cook the dead thawed thing and then it suddenly opened its eyes and shrieked and bit him. Oh, and then it turned into a whole freaking man with weird white hair and crap.

Then the guy started screaming more! Sure, maybe it was because Flicker was screaming too- But in his defense he didn't expect his dead meal to just BECOME A RANDOM GUY?

Things calmed down and they established that they didn't want to kill each other. Then they both demanded what the hell was up with the other dude in the cave. Apparently "Buwe" was trapped in ice or cursed or something. He seemed strangely concerned for Flicker though, Flicker couldn't really understand why.

After a bit of peace and making up for the "accidentally trying to eat/bite you" scenario with some fish that Buwe had caught they chatted some more. Buwe was determined to take Flicker home with him. But the more Buwe talked.. Yeah, Flicker wasn't exactly schooled, but he started to realize everything this guy was describing.. From money and the state of the kingdoms and whatever else? He sounded like he was alive when the Nari'shi were free.

So, they started to put together that Buwe's entire family and tribe were probably dead because apparently he'd been frozen in ice for over two hundred years.

Buwe, brilliant man that he is, decides he's going to cope by adopting Flicker. Flicker, who doesn't want to die and is appreciative of this strange man who has provided food and protection find's himself accepting this agreement. Even though he's literally an adult but apparently, "Smol brother is smol brother" was enough reasoning for Buwe so this was just his life now.

They tried to go back to Buwe's old village, but after seeing the way the grief absolutely wrecked Buwe, Flicker encouraged them to find a new life elsewhere together. Buwe agreed and they set off.

It’s a mech suit canon

Paradox does sound very similar to Peridot

[featherisderp]

Random facts about Fading Shadows Meta because he's also @violetisderp 's favorite.

-Around friends or (people he considers) family, he tends to have a very calm tone, almost child-like, but around anyone else, he'll be just as serious as seen in the show.

-He's not very good at hiding his anger. Unlike any other version of Meta Knight, he won't just silently glare and stab a thing, he will yell it at and make sire it knows he wants it hurt or dead.

-Dedede was painfully aware from the start that he was on Kirby's side, but he was also aware that he liked to twist orders into training opportunities, and therefore was trying to get him to hurt Kirby during their training (it never really worked).

-Escargoon is afraid of him. This is both because of his seemingly random outbursts of anger (usually when he and Dedede did something to endanger the children) and him severely injuring him when he began chasing Kirby with a large gun (the robot Escarhoon episode).

-He will randomly get very clingy and will hug Galacta relentlessly. This is related to his fear of loosing him. He may also hug his children sometimes.

-He doesn't like wearing his mask but never takes it off around others. It reminds him of the war.

-He'd yelled at Dedede randomly once or twice simply for being rude to Tiff or Tuff.

-He played a big part in raising Tiff and Tuff. He'd initially been asked to babysit while her parents went to talk to Dedede and he instantly became attached. He visited a lot after that.

-He squishes Kirby's face all the time. He thinks it's funny and adorable.

-When facing Nightmare (in the last few episodes), he'd actually begin shaking and had gotten very quiet.

-Dispute his trauma and his inability to regulate emotions properly, he's still incredibly smart and good at sneaking around.

-He's been heavily tempted multiple times to get involved in Kirby fighting the monsters but knew he had to let him.

I just think…FS AU Henry with hockey player Hopper.

Canon-divergent TFS. They’re aged up to their 20s, and it’s set both in the Olympic village and in Hawkins depending on the time period. Modern/Y2K verse.

Henry and Patty newcomers/rising stars in pairs, Joyce and Alan as returning veterans to the pairs team. Sue Anderson and Karen Childress in women’s singles. Jim “Plays for the Chicago Blackhawks, selected for the Olympics” Hopper with the other guys in the cast as teammates.

Mr. Newby runs the rink in Hawkins, but the figure skaters train under Brenner, an internationally respected (if notoriously dirty-dealing and underhanded) coach. Hopper Sr. coaches the local varsity hockey team on the side when he’s not being a cop.

Thank you for your time ✌🏻😗

[derangedthots]

figure skating rivals jacemond au where jace had all the makings of being the best in the world ("his jumps...there was something magical about them. jacaerys velaryon's skating was art in motion") but he dropped out during his first year in seniors and aemond has hated him for it for years. the two run into each other at luke's first event after moving up from the junior league bc jace is an assistant coach for his brother.

aemond skates and demolishes the scores bc he's absolutely furious about jace finally showing his face after years of no public presence ("not even on the ice, jacaerys, i never took you for a coward"). little does aemond know that the reason jace quit skating was because he suffered major injuries to both legs after a disastrous car accident and his stepfather daemon used his connections to make sure the media never broke the story.

More figure skater Chuuya my beloved, his career is being a big journey... I'm proud of him

Four Keys: Buwe (Blue)

(reblogs appreciated)

This is Buwe! (pronounced similarly to Dew), he's this au's Blue! Buwe's people, Selkie Folk, live in different communities on arctic Islands that rely on fishing seasons to survive.

Unfortunately, a horrible sea ice witch threatened them. She threatened to freeze all the sea, the sea that gave them their fish and their life, unless they paid. With wealth or manpower. Their tribes are like brother and sisters.

Paying her, it would have debilitated them until there was nothing left. It would kill them. Going against the other tribes would kill their souls. It was a trap to let her get more power. With the walls of ice surrounding them, and air so frigid no messenger bird could be sent, there would be no help to free them.

Buwe decided, that if she wanted a warrior, he would give her one. One that would take the breath from her lungs as he strangled her. No sick child of his home, his tribe of Kunae, would die again, because of her. Coughing blood and becoming brittle.

He found a weak spot in her ice walls and after nights of hard work in secret, he left. Filled with rage, knowing he'd never survive making it to the other tribes, he decided to go straight to the mouth of the beast. Her little hideout, hidden in the ice, under the freezing water.

He's never seen a place so beautifully sculpted, yet so revolting. Patterns of swirling ice with windows to the wide ocean outside, columns fashioned with utmost care. Icy statues of figures posed beautifully appear along the walls. The bones of children as adornments. Red stained fabrics, draping down the entrances.

It's nothing like the castles he's learned about from books, its far too small and the design itself is far too close to home. But he knows that's just now, she wants to expand this. She wants more. She'll build it out of pearly white bones if she has to.

He catches her by surprise, while she's tinkering with some sort of map. Planning for the attacks she'll lead them in, when they all crack and serve her in their grief. When they let her take control of their very minds with a binding oath made of pure dark magic.

She's amused at first. She knew how great of a warrior, and determined a man he was. She reminds him of her offer. To be hers. Only the finest would be hers, after all. He's sick. This monster, the way she talks, the way she watches him. It's nothing but a freaking game.

"No? Pity, Kunae man, but I don't want to kill you ,you know... Such a wasteful thing, yes?"

He stands in silent fury. He's ready to fight, to end this.

"Fine then, you can be, another one of my... perfect sculptures. My favorite one, in fact. That way, you could stay by my side forever, hm?"

She steps to him, closer and closer. He will not be afraid.

"Even back then... So brash and brave, when I came, I just adore you..." her hand caresses his face, he's tense, " That's the face I want to keep for myself forever."

His dagger lurches into her gut, but not before a thin blast of ice blasts off forcing them apart. Buwe moves, the end is near. The end of suffering, or the end of any chance of hope. The end of her, or the end of him.

Buwe nearly dies in that fight. He was fighting, on her terf, already weakened, with his own ability already diminished from the hunger. But the rage fuels him on, and he knows he will End Her even if it only happens during his last dying breath.

She gives a final attack of defense, he got too close, his grand tactical mistake made out of desperation. Her eyes say the words he can't hear. It's the blessing of a curse. He can feel his legs freezing over, the ice in his bones spreading and paralyzing reaching itself tendrils outward. The sound of her cracking neck is nearly mute in the water, an endless abyss of the dark. It's the most beautiful thing he's ever heard. The light leaves her eyes.

He tries, Buwe really does, to transform again into a selkie, to let him swim to the surface, and maybe reverse her curse just long enough to see his home again. Just the walls and the glistening shining snow, that the children would soon play on again. He manages to transform, but it's too late. Every thought slows, muffled and pained. He will be lost, but he won, for them. That's all that matters. The world is deafening, as he sees the blackening ocean turn icy white. The world is dark again.

@slaingelo @vamqiredove @shadylink enjoy lol, it gets worse probably

in your "el is a figure skater and henry is her coach" au, is max a hockey player?

i don't know if this has been established or not, but she has the Vibes of a hockey player (<- speaking as a canadian. I know my stuff)

Ooooh I hadn't thought of what role she'd play in that AU so I'm 100% open to suggestions.

Max totally has hockey girl vibes (and also...the hockey player x figure skater elmax dynamic would be [chefs kiss] exquisite).

Max being a Terror at public skate is so real to me. El initially being so prickly about her because she keeps being a nuisance (affectionate) and dodging around El trying to get her attention...Elmax being public skate terrors...together...please and thank you <3

El sees Max check someone one (1) time and is like. Y'know what, you're so right. There's more to life than stupid boys. I want to kiss girls.

Also...baby Max in her little set of hockey gear...she's itty bitty...ouagh...Baby Max having a missing baby tooth not because it was ready to come out but because she got it knocked out on the ice...She's very proud of it because she thinks it makes her look tough (she's actually just adorable).

Sadie with her new haircut is absolutely serving hockey player imo like she's got The Look.
