Outfit breakdowns for all of my Kirby hero of yore ocs! I don’t know if I can count Galacta (or Papi) as ocs but my interpretations are rather far from the source material at this point ^^;

First is Galacta, the Hero of Heart, who is the hero among heroes of the four of them. The most honored, the most gallant, the light and hope of Halcandra.

Second is Nebula, the Hero of Dream, who is a laid-back, mostly relaxed figure who is calm and kind. Though they can often be found napping in various locations around town, in battle, they are a fierce warrior, and are very protective of Galacta.

Third is Papilio, the Hero of Soul, also known to many as Lio, or by their personal name, Anax. They are the smallest and the youngest of the heroes, a prodigy with the blade, and known as the fastest and most light-footed of the heroes.

And finally, the Hero of Dark, whose true name is only known to their friends. They are the quietest of the heroes, and wield a spear, though most of their powers are long range magic.

International Panic Day

International Panic Day, celebrated on June 18, is a day when people are required to panic. Basically, the day is a mock holiday aimed at spreading awareness for mental health issues. No matter how calm you are as an individual, International Panic Day is the day to let out your fears and panic about your worries. Why? International Panic Day rather asks, why not?

History of International Panic Day

In prehistoric times, men used panic as a technique to hunt animals. Herds of animals would react in panic to unexpected loud sounds or visual effects, which would direct them towards cliffs and cause them to jump to their deaths after finding themselves cornered.

International Panic Day began as a kind of mock holiday with the intention of having a day when people could shake off their various reasons to panic. It is a day to sit back, calm down, and let the panic and stress flow through you.

While it may sound funny, panic is a serious topic. Panic disorder is a mental health issue that affects 2% of the population in some countries. Apparently, women are more likely to suffer from panic than men. The condition is treatable, more so when the person is aware of various healthcare tactics and lives a healthy lifestyle.

International Panic Day is seen in many countries as a day to raise and spread awareness about the issue of mental illness. Today, more than ever, people are undergoing a lot of mental stress and the day is aimed to encourage people to slow down, relax, and reach out for help without any hesitation. There is nothing to be shy of and only by talking about our problems can we get rid of them. Panic management has important practical usages in the emergency services and the armed forces of the world. International Panic Day is the perfect excuse to panic about everything there is to panic about and, in the process, reevaluate our priorities. Eliminate all the things that cause you stress and anxiety.

International Panic Day timeline

1849 The First Panic

International Panic Day FAQs

What is National Panic Day?

It is more of a mock holiday to spread the word about panic. The day stresses the importance of taking time off to relax and take the stress off our minds.

Why am I suddenly having panic attacks?

A panic attack is a rush of mental and physical symptoms that can come without any warning and very quickly, too. Anti-anxiety medication is suggested for such situations.

What does a panic attack feel like?

Doctors diagnosing a panic attack usually look for four of the following signs: trembling, sweating, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, a choking sensation, dizziness, numbness, and heart palpitations.

How to Observe International Panic Day

Practice breathing techniques

Take some time off to relax

Get help from a professional

Breathing techniques help decrease panic. Whether it’s just a few slow breathing exercises or an hour-long meditation that focuses on breathing, both can have a strong positive impact on mental health.

Taking a day off is underrated. Take time off work to relax. Go to your favorite coffee shop, spend the day reading your favorite book, spend time with friends, and more.

If you are struggling with panic and stress, reach out to a professional. If a counselor is too expensive for you, talk to a friend you trust or a family member and listen to their advice.

5 Facts About Panic That Will Blow Your Mind

‘Panic’ from Greek

Panic can be good

Panic! At The Disco

Panic people

Time of panic

The word ‘panic’ comes from the Greek word associated with the Greek shepherd god, Pan, who, according to Greek myth, enjoyed causing fear among people traveling in the forest.

Panic is the body’s response to threat as the release of stress hormones increases the heartbeat and flow of oxygen to the brain, which can help a person to respond appropriately to a threat.

Panic! At The Disco is a world-famous rock band created in 2004 led by American musician Brendon Urie.

According to the American Psychological Association, 1 out of 75 people have a panic disorder.

Panic attacks usually last from five to 20 minutes but their symptoms can remain for up to an hour.

Why International Panic Day Is Significant

Stresses the importance of panic

It spreads awareness about stress

It makes people feel better

As strange as it sounds, panic is a way to release stress. In other words, by expressing panic, you can feel more relieved.

Stress is one of the most common mental issues of today. This day is a great way to spread the word about stress and emphasize the importance of talking about it.

Talking about panic makes it a normal thing. This makes people who undergo panic attacks feel free to talk about it and not like they have to hide it.

Creepy, not scary. There’s a difference. It’s honestly kind of fascinating… *squints at them*

Anyway, how do you feel about being adopted and doing paperwork?

You know... for once in my entire immortal existence, I'm kind of afraid of someone *pokes the air around Koilos with a pen before cringing back*. Uh. yeah. You're kinda creepy dude and it's creeping me out

@im-not-getting-paid-for-this

[Mod: Hi!!!!! Literally everyone is in love with you [/p] in the server and I thought it'd be a welcome sort of chaos to bring you The Secretary :))). Nice to meet you!!!!]

"I'm... Scary?" Koilos blinked. "I'm mortal, that's scary? I have... memories of my true form; those are scary."

//WHAT? I JUST MADE THIS BLOG?? SURE I SENT IT TO LIKE 3 PPL BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WOULD BLOW UP. Nice to meet you too!!! Chaos is my forte.

Something that rustles my jimmies is that in the Novel Planeswalker, we get a history of rhe early life of Xantcha, the Phyrexian Sleeper Agent turned traitor and companion to a very insane Urza.

And a scene early in her life is meeting another Sleeper Agent Identical to her. Now all the Sleeper Agents were based of a set amount of people and didnt really age (hence how mortals would eventually catch on). In order to tell each other apart, Xantcha changes her hair while the other Agent dyes hers Red. This act of rebellion sees both of them punished, but eventually the gate to Dominaria in Koilos reopens and a bunch of Sleeper Agents are sent out, including the red headed one. Years later as Xantcha is about to be sent out, the gate closes and the Dominarian Sleeper Agent program is abandoned. Gix, head of this plan and Praetor ruling over Xantcha is punished.

But in The Brother's War there is a red haired girl, with no morals that comes out of nowhere and is skilled in artifice. A girl who does not age no matter how long the war goes on.

Ashnod. Who was not printed as a Phyrexian on either card. Is this a retcon, red herring, coincidence or oversight?

The Fall Of Septhis (TFOS) Snippet

Just giving a small part of the novel! It is still being written so here is your update! I plan on releasing my small Horror Story set later this week as well. Hope you enjoy!

(this may be edited later on, this is just what is written as of right now)

¨invisibilitas leporem,¨ Naim wrote down upon the brown snake leather book we both shared.

¨invisibilitas....what?¨ I asked admiring how clean his words always were. In the past he used to tell me the mature angels called it cursive. As much as I could barely read it, I knew he would tell me everything aloud.

And just like that, he started his explanation.

¨Its invisibilitas leporem. The scribes call it latin. It means invisibility charm. I don´t know how much of an explanation you want besides how it simply is a charm, which can help make you invisible.¨

I laughed softly as I watched his hand begin to trail to the outside of the page. He was waiting for questions, and I had plenty for him. So, I cleared my throat.

¨Well brother, are there specific charms? How big are the charms? Does it use more than just invisibility magic? Do inviblists need it?¨

¨Inviblists dont need it, given their element is invisibility. Charms end up being small, its sneakier that way. And it only uses trapped invisibility magic.¨

I sighed laying down, letting my wings spread out beside me.

¨Trapped magic hm?¨

Naim just looked up, pausing his writing before looking back down to continue.

¨Yes. Basically you can channel magic into an item. There is a whole different spell to trap it in the item.¨

¨And that is?¨

¨Another spell for another day Septhis. You know the rules.¨

I'm so proud of you, we did fantastic!

Freestyle poetry - The cold

I look outside the window and I can see a little light There's something in the air that feels not right

The air is cool and the breeze is colder, it feels like something is peering over my shoulder.

I look over there, behind me, something is going to happen, something is about to start

It feels familiar in the most unpleasant ways, like the thundering beat of my heart

it feels like I a going down in the deep but there's nothing I can do to stop it

And the water is freezing above me while into the darkness I sink

Uhm...this was an experiment that I made with @fatelys and I am pretty proud of this to be honest, not expecting to have this in me...but, Is cool!

They are the real poet @fatelys thank you again for believing in my abilities!

Writing Questions

Thank you @kaylinalexanderbooks here

What is your absolute all-time favorite idea you’ve ever had?

Um probably the Hellenic Chronicles. I've always wanted to write a greek mythology book and I really love this book

Is there a question you’ve been asked in the past that really stands out to you, and you still think about sometimes?

Not really, but I would love to answer more questions

What is your favorite part of being a writer? What parts could you take or leave?

I love coming up with characters and their backstories. Character creation is what got me into writing in the first place.

I absolutely hate keeping things in the right tense. I am horrible at it.

What is your greatest motivation to write/create?

My friends' excitement for me. I don't want to let them down

What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever read or been given as a writer?

That I shouldn't call myself an ASPIRING author/writer. I already am a writer/author

What do you wish you knew when you were first starting out writing?

That its okay to keep going back and rewriting things even if you have people who question/judge you about it

What is your favorite story you’ve written to completion? Link it if you’d like and can!

I wrote a really short, really bad sci-fi series called The Crescent View Series. I plan on going back to it and rewriting it.

Which of your characters would you say has the most controversial mindset? Why do you say so, and how do you personally feel about their ideals?

Probably Raven. She grew up with military training so she can be pretty ruthless and cold, even though she means well. I really like and can understand her mindset at points but even I would probably find her cruel in real life.

If you, when you first started writing, met you now, what would younger you think?

Younger me would be so excited. Like I said, I've always wanted to write a book based on greek mythology.

Regarding cave errata: there are 16 lands that have "cave" or "cavern" in their names but aren't the cave type. BUT multiple of these are part of existing cycles where the other members wouldn't be caves (i.e. Forgotten Cave, Bloodfell Caves, Caves of Koilos). 6/16 definitely are and 3 of the remaining are part of looser cycles. Was this a factor in the decision not to make the change?

It was one of a number of issues.
