Happy Celebradiation @overseeer!

I think Huskie should also undergo an inspection from time to time so that one or two screws can be tightened. My oc Maya would definitely not miss the opportunity with such rare technology. Fallout exchange event by @falloutfandomeventhub ❤️

father ophelia. i need ur multi paragraph analysis on how camning date would happen. who would ask who out

Camning is such a weird pair to consider as an actual couple instead of two mutually pining idiots because I can't in good faith say that either of them would ever admit to having feelings for the other.

Don't get me wrong, Cameron isn't the type to suppress or deny his feeings or anything - in fact he'd be ecstatic at the prospect of having a crush on someone, because it's yet another wordly experience he's been deprived of his whole life that he's living for the first time. And that's exactly the issue; Cameron has no idea how to go about expressing these things, save for whatever romance based literature/tv shows he was exposed to growing up and, knowing Cameron, he'd be more than aware that they doesn't exactly portray a realistic perspective on real-life relationships. So he's back to square one when it comes to knowledge on how to deal with his feelings.

Which would mean he'd be the type to go completely non-verbal in front of Lightning, or otherwise be a stuttering mess. A pathetic puddle of a boy who has no idea how to deal with these new, weird feelings save for whispering "oh no he's hot" to himself.

On the other hand, Lightning is extremely prideful. Extremely prideful. He'd be completely in denial about having a crush on Cameron of all people because he's the antithesis of everything Lightning holds in high regard; Cameron isn't athletic or strong, he's not outwardly headstrong or competitive (at first glance, though Cameron does have a spine hidden somewhere in that red hoodie) and Lightning wouldn't see Cameron as someone who could relate to him in any way. Keep in mind, Lightning's a bit of an egotist, so he'd be under the assumption that his ideal partner would be a reflection of himself.

And Lightning isn't very bright, despite his namesake, so he wouldn't realise that's exactly why he likes Cameron so much. He's impressed by Cameron's fountain of knowledge and keen intellect. He's astounded by how Cameron can use his wit and his determination to win challenges without having to brute forcing his way to victory. He thinks Cameron is adorable and experiences cuteness aggression every time they lock eyes. So on so forth.

So with Cameron's Cameronness and Lightning's staunch denial, there's only one way these two would ever get together.

Lightning accidentally confesses.

Be it through an insult gone wrong during the competition, or maybe a freudian slip in a conversation post-RotI, or even him just plain denying any feelings for Cameron unprompted and inadvertantly outing himself as a Cameron Liker through his defensiveness. Either way, Cameron hears this confirmation of returned feelings and all of the knowledge he's accrued from his mother's books/shows comes in swinging - he asks Lightning to have dinner with him. And surprisingly, Lightning accepts.

...Because it's free food, not because he likes the wimp. That's his excuse.

And the two hit it off. Cameron spends the whole first date sweating profusely but miraculously not putting his foot in his mouth. Though he does oftentimes get too technical and booksmart for Lightning to understand what he's saying, but Lightning nods along politely anyway because he finds the enthusiasm on Cameron's face endearing.

In turn, Lightning's initial jibing insults (which, subconciously, he's only really using to keep up appearences) peter off into genuine compliments as he realises that wow, he actually really enjoys spending time with Cameron, and Cameron is really smart but not condecending in the slightest when he asks for elaboration on things he doesn't understand, and Cameron's got a lot of interesting thoughts that he's never considered, and...

Lightning realises that he might be very, very gay for Cameron.

In turn, Cameron's almost vibrating with excitement because he's talking to Lightning, and Lightning is talking back, and there's this natural chemistry between them that even he in all of his inexperience can feel sparking in the air now that Lightning's walls of superiority have finally crumbled somewhat. He's on a date with the boy he likes and it's going really well.

(None of his research could've prepared him for the actual experience of a first date - and oddly enough, Cameron is thankful that he didn't have any preconceived expectations for the night.)

The night goes well, they eat food at some fancy restaurant that Cameron pays for with his winnings, and as they go to leave Lightning - because he's not one to be outshone in the competitive context of being a "good date haver" - gives Cameron a peck at the corner of his mouth. It's brief, a ghost of an action really, but it's enough to have Cameron visibly light up as he returns the favour.

-

At some point after they've been going on these dates for a while (Lightning more often than not taking Cameron to various sports games "for the experience", and Cameron indulging Lightning by taking him on hikes whilst he studies the wildlife they come across, ect ect) they breach the topic of being boyfriends in an awkward but sweet conversation that Lightning spends the next few months poking fun at Cameron for.

I don't see enough people talking about this. The drawing of Aziraphale and his flamming sword ? "Garden designer" ?! the "Crowley -> changed his name ? Yuck !" ? The "His hair is bad" ?

And "Baraqiel" ? Ligtning of God when Crowley did lightning this season ? Angel of the sky when Crowley made the sky ? A prince of 2nd Heaven ? Both archangel and seraphim ? With supposed yellow eyes and red hair ? A know fallen angel ? Am I seeing too much ????? @neil-gaiman I ask for a better picture of that pages of the book

Alsot the transcript for what is said about Baraqiel :

"Baraqiel Dominion. Angel of the sky Appearance: Hair an eye-burning jinnjer. Eyebrows with the appearance of a grisly slug. Often draped in red. Occashunly damp, most likely singed"

Edit : here's the book !

Taken - Zutara -Part 64

First / Previous / Next / Masterpost

Katara tried her best not to hover when, on the morning of their last full day on the Black Cliffs, Zuko pulled Aang aside to train. She knew that Aang needed to practice his firebending, and while this 'lightning redirection' sounded like a very useful skill, she worried about the strain it would put on Zuko's still recovering heart. It was even more worrying that Zuko had only practiced it in theory, even if it was under Iroh's watchful eye.

She stood off to the side, half watching the two, half listening to Sokka explain her role in the invasion. She would be on the front lines, alongside Zuko, helping protect the ships from Fire Nation attack, until Toph and Suki returned from their mission. Once they were regrouped, they would go underground, invade the bunker. It was unlikely that Ozai and Azula would be in the same room, so they would have to split up. Zuko would take Suki, and the two would go after Azula. They would hopefully be enough for whatever forces were guarding her. In contrast, Katara would be going with Aang, Toph, and Sokka to hunt down Ozai.

"I don't like having to split up," she confessed, scowling down at the plans. "It weakens us as a whole."

"I know," Sokka said, a tightness in his voice. "But we have to. We'd send more to help Zuko, but we can't pull from the invasion force. We need them at full, in case we go over the eclipse, and they need to hold the city when the fire power comes back on."

"I know," Katara sighed. Getting up, she went to check on Aang and Zuko, the later of which seemed to be giving a lecture.

"Uncle said it's important to not let it touch your heart," Zuko was saying. "It has to go through your stomach. If it touches your heart, you could die." Katara didn't point out that in Zuko's case, it was likely more 'would' than 'could'.

"But then," Aang breathed, eyes wide like he expected Zuko to start hurling lightning. "How do you practice something like that?"

"You don't," Katara said, drawing both of their attention. "You have to learn the principal and pray to the spirits that you never have to use it."

Zuko nodded, face stern. "My uncle is the one that invented this technique. He and I, and now you, are the only ones that know it. If it comes down to it, and you have to use it, it'll be a perfect way to kill him."

Instantly, Aang's eyes widened. "K-kill?"

"My father can't redirect lightning. And he won't be expecting you to know how to either. When, not if, my father tries to shoot you with ligtning, if you can't dodge it, redirect it straight into his chest."

Katara could see the growing panic and uncertainty in Aang's gaze. She knew that he was trying to stay connected to his heritage, keep his culture alive. He had been so adamantly apossed to Zhao's execution in the North.

"Aang," she said, keeping her voice level and calm. "Ozai is the Fire Lord. And that comes with absolute control of the Fire Nation. Even if he's captured, Zuko can't become Fire Lord until Ozai forfeits the crown, which he wont. There would have to be an Agni Kai, which would defeat the purpose of the entire invasion. Unless we can delegitimize his claim to the throne, which we can't."

She didn't know why she said it. It just came out. And now Aang was perking up.

"Well, why not?"

"Well..." She glanced at Zuko, who was clearly at as much of a loss. "The best way would be to prove that Ozai isn't of Azulon's lines, which is impossible."

"And would take away my own claim," Zuko added.

Katara nodded. "Exactly. The other, would be to show proof that Ozai isn't a firebender, but he clearly is."

"Why would it matter if he was a firebender?" Aang asked, looking between them. "Kuei is the Earth King and he isn't an earthbender. And your dad isn't a waterbender, but he's still the chief."

"The Fire Nation is a little different," Zuko huffed, turning away a bit. He crossed his arms over his chest. "The Fire Lord is both the political and spiritual leader. Not that my father or grandfather held onto that. And Agni is our divine spirit, believed to be the one that blesses a firebender with their ability. If an heir to the throne isn't a firebender, they're removed from the line of succession. Weaker benders are even looked over for their younger siblings if they show stronger bending."

"Like you and your sister?"

"Aang!"

Zuko grit his teeth. "I'm going for a walk."

"Zuko-" Before she could say anything else, Zuko was pushing himself up and heading off for the trees. He snagged his swords as he went, and Katara worried about him straining something.

"Aang," Katara said slowly, turning back to the boy. He blinked at her. "You need to understand, that while I would love for you not to have to do this, there's no other way."

"It goes against everything the monks ever taught me," Aang said, his eyes cast downward. "I know Fire Lord Ozai is a horrible person, and the world would be better without him, but he's still a human being. He's a person, and I can't just go around taking out people I don't like." Lifting his head, his eyes were wide and so, so young. "Isn't there any other way?"

Katara wished she could say yes. She wished that she didn't have to tell this little boy he had to kill someone, take a life. They were all young. Sokka was only barely considered an adult by the tribe, and none of them were anywhere close to the legal drinking age in the Earth Kingdom. In the Fire Nation, they were still in that gray area between child and young adult.

And yet, here they were. Participating in a war started generations ago, some of the lead planners in a full scale invasion, and discussing killing a man. Aang didn't need her. He needed an adult who could understand the weight he was under.

"Maybe you could meditate," Katara suggested. "Maybe try to talk to one of your past lives. Like Roku, or the last Air Avatar? They might have some better advice?"

For a moment, Aang looked unsure. Finally, he nodded. "Yeah. I think I will, Katara. Thank you."

With that, Aang grabbed his glider and flew off, in search of a quiet spot to be alone. Katara let out a sigh of relief, and went to start getting dinner ready. She was sure he would be fine.

If she had known that, come morning, Aang still wouldn't have returned, she might have stopped him.

Anw. About the Luke-stealing-Jason-the-metaphorized-Ligtning-in-TLT AU.

If anything, I think Jason should be the one to turn the tide. I'm talking about two scenarios:

1/ Instead of Nico with his army, it's Jason who turns against the TA and joins the demigod, which helps them tremendously.

2/ He's the reason Luke realizes he's chosen wrong and later stabs himself/Kronos.

Basically, the first one is Jason in Nico's role, whilst the latter is Percy's. I also these two scenarios could go together? But it may be overwhelming lmao.

Why, you ask? Idk, I just think it's fun.

I just think that, with Jason being intrinsically good but ending up in the antagonist's army, it'd be an exciting experience to see him switching sides sometimes. Because he has potential for both factions, you know?

Jason's kind at the core and is brought up by the gods. If anything he might be able to turn back the first. Thalia might also play a big role in this, with them being the estranged sister with so many problems but in truth, they still value each other. And he's also close to Luke (in this AU I mean) - in the sense that his existence has weight to Luke - so his actions and opinions are capable of great effect.

Also bc I'm excited about Jason and Luke's interactions, obviously. This whole Jason-Thalia-Luke circle is just pure drama and I'll eat that shit up.

And if we take Percy in the picture, his outrage at being abandoned by Luke might just be worsened by Jason's presence. I'm might be a little delusion but think of it this way: the mentor you look up at suddenly leaves you and also there's a new one by his side - who might play the same role as you (both children of the Big3)?

Be it jealousy or abandonment or insecurity, I think it'd be likely for Percy to harbor animosity towards Jason as well. And the whole rival thing Rick had going on might just be worse. Ofc, I'm all here for it.
