#MAYBE I'll give them a “Magic” option and they can both have a unique Fire and Thunder attack.

Okay, everyone! To start things off here, I'll create a master post just giving a brief rundown of the setting most of my characters are written for and a brief intro to each of my characters. I'll update it as I add new characters to my slowly-increasing roster! Most images here will all be photoshops/edits of official Pokemon artwork as a form of crude reference as I have no ability to properly draw or paint, but using various selection tools, color pickers, and different brush options allow you to get surprisingly far.
The Setting: So to keep the setting as simple as possible, my friend's setting is a sort of PMD-like society that takes place in parallel to (and frequently in conflict with) human society in the Pokemon setting. Pokemon living in these little pockets of society, known as Bastions, are sentient and live complex lives very similar to their human counterparts. They make art and music, cook gourmet meals, wear clothing for both practical and fashion purposes, have complex political systems and social safety nets and resources to accommodate all different types of pokemon with different modes of locomotion and physiological needs. While they don't have complex technology in the way Human society does (they refuse to use it, mostly), sentient Pokemon are able to use magic to create similar effects (thus "radio" stones, messages stored as holograms, enchanted blankets that heat themselves, etc.). The various Bastions (and cultural towns, in the case of destroyed Bastions) in this world also often take after the same cultural influences of the Pokemon Regions they are from, so Pokemon will have various cultural backgrounds (Azalean/Japanese, Santalune/French, etc.) similar to that of real-world cultures.
Pathwalking
In this setting, there is also a semi-spiritual practice known as Pathwalking, which is a sort of combination spiritual practice, form of self-expression, and method of self-improvement and learning useful skills and abilities. Paths are based on either mono- or dual-type combinations, with each type representing a broad category of different ideas and themes, depending on the specific pairing of types. Paths involve meditation, whose method is specific to each path, and each path teaches different ideals that can be broadly interpreted and applied in different ways that may best fit any given individual. Paths give Pokemon who practice them access to moves, abilities and new skills, some unique to that specific path. When a Pokemon completes a Path, they can choose to permanently add to (if mono-type) or replace (if dual-type) one of their current types with one of the Path's types. Changing types can affect a Pokemon's physiology, which I will get into in a moment. Alternatively, if the Pokemon chooses to not permanently take either of the Path's types, they get the ability to briefly change to the Path's type combo once per day. It is common for Pokemon to walk multiple Paths in their life, though they tend to identify with one of them the most.
Physiology
In the Bastions, Pokemon tend to be exceptionally varied. Typically, Bastion Pokemon will have a primary species, which can be from either parent, taking on the typing, abilities and natural movelist of that species, but take on traits from their other parent's species such as fangs, horns, coloration/pattern changes, scales, feathers, and all sorts of other things. Further, when Pokemon change type via Pathwalking (permanently or temporarily), this can further affect their body. Changing to Grass type will cause them to sprout leaves, vines, or flowers, changing to Rock type will turn their hide to stone, changing to Fire type would increase their base body temperature and maybe they sprout natural flames from their bodies. Okay! That was a bit long-winded but that's all you need to know as a baseline for the setting to fully understand anything I might talk about with my OCs here! I'll be Re-Blogging this once for each character of mine and will try to keep the most up-to-date version of this post pinned on my Blog for easy access!

Dorm Leaders With A Chubby S/o Hcs
Tumblr media
This boy wouldn't really care about your looks honestly. Though I will say that it's most likely that his mother has set up standards in his mind about his partners.
That said, he very much would try to not have what his mother drilled in his head to influence him. He may make a mistake or two when on the subject of weight and looks but he tries very hard.
If he does say something, tell him immediately. Help him see the error of his and his mother's views. With time he will unlearn what his mother has taught him. He truly does love you.
If someone does make a comment about your looks or weight, Riddle will immediately go all red in anger. He will not tolerate anyone, not even his mother, saying such comments about you.
If you do want to lose weight or not sure how, this guys will go through many books and websites just for the sake of helping you. He has said he's wanted to be a doctor before, so this research will help him for his future.
Tumblr media
You think this guy would care how you look? No, he doesn't. He also wouldn't let anyone "talk shit" either.
But I will say there is a slight difference if your feminine or masculine. If your more feminine or female, he's way more protective. He was taught to respect woman because of how powerful and strong they are in the Afterglow.
If you're more masculine or male, he won't be as protective honestly. But if he sees it's affecting you then he'll be the shoulder for you to cry on.
He may not understand fully on how much flack chubby people get. But he can greatly sympathize because of how he was treated because of his unique magic.
If you want to lose weight, Leona isn't the greatest for advice. He can give support, that's not a problem. But he mostly would want to sleep then work out with you. You have a better chance with Jack for advice on both diets and workouts.
Tumblr media
Like Leona, Azul would not care at all how you look. But dare I say, he would have a preference for someone with a bit more meat to them. After all a restaurant owner has to know what food lovers like huh? I jest, he knows how you look doesn't have to be correlated to how you eat.
He's the most supportive one, in rival to Kalim that is, towards you. You don't have to prove anything to him that's related to your weight or looks, he loves you for you.
If you're confident in how you look that gives him more confidence actually, enough to where he might even openly eat his favorite foods if your with him and encourage him.
If he even hears a scoff in your direction, he's already scheming in his head. Even if it has nothing to do with your weight or looks, he already has a plan to doom any negative student. He's very, very, protective of you. Even the tweels actually, since they see how much Azul cares and loves for you, it would be a shame if someone decided to use you as a way to get back at him.
If you wish to lose weight, Azul is very much supportive. He may not be fully happy, but he will try his hardest to help you. He'll make meal plans, have vegan or vegetarian options on Monstro Lounge's menu, even count your calories if you ask. While he may do this, he'll allow you to have a cheat day with him. After all everyone deserves something fatty once in awhile.
Tumblr media
Another boy who absolutely does not care about how you look! He only ever sees how you are as a person than how you look. Honestly he wouldn't even notice you're chunkier than most until you point it out. Well actually he would know, it just never registered.
He would most definitely spend so much money on tailored clothing for you, if most clothes didn't fit. Anything you want, he'll get, that doesn't change.
This includes the parties he hold, they're the same in the terms of having your favorite foods and activities. Jamil will practically have known all your favorite foods by heart because of Kalim requests.
He actually does get very defensive, but not in the way you would think. If he hears anything negative about you, he'll immediately but into the conversation and have compliments leave his mouth at a fast pace.
Kalim doesn't fully understand if you want to lose weight. But he'll still be supportive and ask Jamil for advice on what you and him need to do. He'll workout and go on a diet with you as well! Because it's more fun if you're not alone!
Tumblr media
I'll be honest, this guy will care. But hear me out, it's not how you think. Yes he'll make a few subtle comments, but he believes it's to make sure you're in your top form and your most beautiful self.
If you're happy the way you are then he'll promptly be quiet, he would never actively hurt someone with words about their appearance. He knows everyone is different, everyone has their own qualities that make them beautiful. And as time goes on, he'll see that your extra weight is what makes you beautiful.
If say, your weight is do to something you can't control. He'll be very supportive and understanding, we all can't control how we look after all. If you feel sad over it he'll be there to be your shoulder to cry on and even give you a comforting spa day.
If he hears others talk negatively about you, then they have angered Pomefiore's queen. He won't tolerate anyone harassing nor belittling you. He may have been harsh with you at first, but he learned his own way and so he'll make sure others know better as well.
If you want to lose weight, Vil is the perfect person to ask for help! He may be harsh and tough on you, but it's to help you and motivate you. If you do need someone more comforting and soft Rook will be there to compliment and encourage you as well. It's very...contrasting, but it'll get the job done so you can be you're most beautiful self!
Tumblr media
I'd say he doesn't care either, maybe also someone who prefers someone with more meat to cuddle. After all, I can see him actually having a cold body temperature even with the fire hair. Those with larger bodies are warmer actually, so you're perfect for cuddles!
He would want to give you loads of compliments, but his extreme shyness gets the better of him. So instead he plays games with you and even makes mods that let's you have your character be as chubby as you!!
Surprisingly Idia always cuddles you. You're just so warm and plush he can't help himself! Don't point it out though, or his hair will turn red and may cause another fire in his room.
When he or Ortho hears anything negative about you they immediately come to your defense, Ortho more often than Idia. Ortho sees you as another big sibling, so he defends you just like he does for Idia. Idia usually hacks his way into any naysayers phone to mess with them for a day, not usually anything too bad but something to make sure they don't say anything hurtful again.
If you want to lose weight, Idia will scour the internet for any info on how to help. He even would go outside to help you! Ortho will also be there so you have someone to workout with, meanwhile Idia is playing on his switch...he may also make exercise and active games at some point so you two can play together while working out!
Tumblr media
This man also wouldn't care how you look. He may say one thing about how "humans have always looked so different from each other" in a way to comfort you.
He wouldn't really treat you differently, but he would give you all the support and compliments you need if you're insecure about your body.
You two do have lots of ice cream together, but if you ask for the sake of any medical reasons he's happy to get you your own sugar free or low calorie frozen treats!
If anyone in Diasomnia hears word of someone making negative comments about you, you have a whole dormitory behind you. The faes of the dormitory just can't understand why humans turn against each other over something as small as having a different body type.
If you wish to lose weight, Malleus won't know exactly what to do to help. He'll ask his dormmates for help, which will lead to Lilia trying to make home cooked diet meals. And for Sebek and Silver to have you join in their duels. Great Seven have mercy on them when Malleus finds out.

Cherry Blossom wedding PT.2
Tumblr media
"So Darx took over the school to force Y/n into marriage with him," Riddle summarized. 
"What?!" Everyone gasped.
"What so scary about Darx?" Jack asked.
"Darx is currently the most powerful wizard, and he didn't get that title though fair or clean means," Vil explained.
"And as of late he's been looking for a suitable bride," Lilia added suddenly, " I'm familiar with him cause at first he's been taking many fae brides, some I've known personally. Then they disappear suddenly, and Darx simply moves on to the next."
"S-so were dealing with a possible murder," Kalim stuttered in fear.
"Well nobody has ever shown up, and there is no evidence that he killed them. So all those sad souls are still considered missing," Azul clarified.
"We have to rescue her!" Inir and Ortho shouted.
"Ummm," Everyone backed away.
"What?" Inir gasped.
"Why? Please help us!" Ortho begged.
"Look we all like Y/n and we don't want anything bad to happen to her, but we also don't want to be the ones who die pissing off Darx,"  Ace said.
"while Idia always avoids me yet he only asks for me when he's troubled, that's too easy," Vil added.
" It's your "brother"'s problem. Solve it on your own," Leona sighed.
Inir began to tear up and cry out loud.
"Don't worry Inir, If they won't help then I'll do something," Ortho said to his crying friend.
"Hey, hey. You can't do anything just by yourself," Kalim gasped.
"Stimulating patterns to take back Idia Shroud and Y/n Ebonywood. Requirements: Least time of operation...the simulation has been completed successfully. We will now operate the plan. Charging magic energy. Aiming for Night Raven College's main school grounds," Ortho said as he readied his attack, "Magic beam firing in 5... 4... 3... 2..."
" PLEASE STOOOOOP!" Crowley shouted, "Do you want to make our legendary school turn into ruins!? Magic beams are prohibited!
"Since everybody won't help us, I had to do it," Ortho glared.
" ...everyone. Is it okay to decline that easily? If you abandon Shroud and Y/n just like this..," Crowley scolded.
"What should I say? It'll be pointless even if we fought back..," Ace sighed.
"Ah! There they are! Night Raven College's students!" Crowley said pretending to be a news reporter.
" Wh-what is it so suddenly," Ace gasped.
 "I'm a reporter from TBC News! You're a student from Night Raven College, right!?" Crowley continued.
" Eh? Y-Yeah, I am but... wait, close, too close! Headmaster, you're too close!" Ace stuttered
 "Is it true that it's possessed by ghosts? Please answer the question! It'll be featured by tomorrow morning, so let me take some pictures too. Click-click!" Crowley acted.
"Ugh, the flash is too bright!" Ace groaned.
 "I heard a student was abducted? And you abandoned her?"
"I-I have different dorms from the kidnapped person! I don't know anything!" Ace tried to argue.
  "You left him because you weren't close to him? I can't believe you! I need to compile a special feature... Shocking! The dark side of the prestigious school!"
" Whoa, I said stop it! Don't point the camera here!" Ace shouted.
 "Click click click! Click-click! Click!"
"STOP IT! Ace shouted again.
"And so if Y/n doesn't come back, you'll be pressed by the mass and be interviewed no matter morning or noon. I don't want to see my students getting tired like that, or Shroud getting even more stress on top of his possible trauma. Since I'm kind," Crowley warned.
" If you don't cooperate, I'll hack the news channel and put it on the news. I'll write in big marks "The Student Who Abandoned Their Friend" and air it!" Ortho threatened.
"I think the one who would be troubled the most if there's a scandal on the school is you, the school's responsible person, the headmaster," Riddle stated.
"But, it would trouble me. My mother would cry if she saw that news," Deuce sighed.
" Gossips will affect my image as an entertainer. I don't want it," Vil stated.
" It seems that we have to help then," Lilia smiled, " I can't have things like...Malleus, the next king of the Valley of Thorns couldn't save a human to be spread around, and he does hold Y/n in a special place in his heart."
" Yes. As you said, Lilia-sama!!" Sebek shouted.
"Then, everyone! Let's save Shroud and Y/n  from Darx together!" Crowley cheered, "Ah〜〜〜〜 I'm happy that I only have nice students〜〜〜."
" Let's think of a way to save my brother and Y/n together!" Ortho cheered.
"First of all, why don't we talk to Darx," Kalim suggested.
" What a magnificent thought, you are Golden. Though I don't think he would let go of a beautiful maiden like Y/n so easily. If I were in his shoes I certainly wouldn't," Rook smiled.
" In the end, we just have to get him back by force, don't you think?" Leona stated.
 "We all ended up here because we can't do that. Did you forget?" Vil said.
"Yes. We can't "defeat" the ghosts in a face to face battle. They're troublesome as an opponent. Let's avoid a battle with them." Crowley said.
"You know from what I've heard Darx is a narcissistic wizard and happily excepts challenges from anyone," Riddle stated.
"True, a Fae friend of mine challenged Darx to save his lover, but he disappeared along with her," Lilia added.
"Maybe Sam has something useful in his shop," Inir suggested.
So it was off to the school shop and Mr.Sam. Who surprisingly had had something that could maybe help with Darx. A pure white crystal that can undo any spell of a specific caster.
"That was something I did have, but those darn ghosts came by and raided my shop and getting away with lots of my stuff," Sam sighed.
"What they took the crystal too?!" Crowley gasped.
"Yep, but I'll give you advice instead. Darx specializes in summoning and capture Magic," Sam explained, " That is probably why Y/n and Shroud hasn't come back to us yet."
"So I guess the only option is to beat him at a match in hopes to win both student's freedom," Crowley sighed, " Alright those I call, step forward, you will be the first to challenge group to challenge Darx," 
" Trey Clover, Jack Howl, Jade Leech, Floyd Leech, Kingscholar, Schoenheit, and Zigvolt," Crowley called.
"I was so troubled getting chased by ghosts, so this is where you all evacuated," Trey smiled.
" I'm glad we could gather," Jade greeted.
"Headmaster. What are you going to do with we seven?" Vil asked.
"You are all strong with your unique magic, so maybe you can outfox Darx, or maybe you could all challenge him together," Crowley suggested.
"W-what why can't I go? I feel like I'm abandoning my duties as a dorm leader if I let Trey, the vice dorm leader to challenge this mission," Riddle asked.
"What sad you can't be Y/n's knight in shining warmer," Ace teased.
"N-No that not it at all," Riddle denied.
"We don't know what Darx is capable of, and Riddle you heavily rely on your unique magic and we cannot afford to lose you so soon," Crowley explained.
"I'll have the CCTV's footage be connected so we can watch you from the sidelines," Ortho smiled.
"Vil will surely win not only is he beautiful, but he is also strong too. Don't you think so, Epel-Kun?" Rook smiled.
"Eh! I-I guess," Epel stuttered.

(Cafetaria — Wedding Ceremony)
"*chuckle* What a beautiful day today, and not so powerful without this pendant protecting you," Darx smiled as he grabbed Y/n's chin.
"Keep this out of her reach," Drax ordered a troll servent.
Y/n simply glared at the man, he had placed a magic seal on to keep her in place and to prevent her from using her magic.  Y/n dressed to the nines in a beautiful wedding dress that Drax's troll servants put her in.
As Y/n stood in her frozen spot she noticed that all the short troll servants looked at her with sorrow and pity as they stood next to her. Drax had seven troll servants and an army of ghosts. Drax was still ordering his ghost and monster servants around trying to get the ceremony ready. Y/n sighed as she looked over at the front row seating area to see Idia struggling at his bindings that tied him to his seat. A similar seal was cast on him too.
"SOMEONE SAVE US—-!!!" Idia cried out.
" I suddenly got surrounded by ghosts, got roped and tied up... and now I have to watch a friend get forced into marrying some brute?" Idia said in fear, " A brute that might kill her soon."
"Not fish, how about beef served at the wedding?" Drax said as a troll servant stepped up with her tray of food.
Drax chuckled as he took a fork full of beef all the while the strolls stood nervously and uncomfortable in front of him. Drax growled in disappointment that the food tasted cheap and knocked the plated out of the hands of the troll and dropping food onto his servant.
"Soon I'll have a new wife, and hopefully you won't disappoint me," Drax said simply as he looked over to Y/n, who only glared at him.
Idia wanted to hurl at that sentence as side glared at his kidnapper. Suddenly a ghost rushed over to Darx with some urgent news. Apparently, some NRC students came to challenge him for "His bride's hand". Drax laughed as he ordered the ghosts to let them in.
"You hear that Y/n, Were going to be saved," Idia smiled in relief at his friend.
Soon the seven students quickly barged through the door demanding to challenge Darx in magical combat.
"So you all think you can take what is soon to be mine," Darx laughed.
"The marriage hasn't happened yet, so Y/n doesn't belong to anyone," Leona growled.
"And a rude brute like you doesn't deserve a lady like Y/n," Jack added.
"Plus forcing women into marriage is a disgusting trait," Vil glared.
"So you're her friends I'm assuming," Darx said simply in a bored tone, " Look dear all your friends have come to watch our marriage.
The boys looked up the alter to see a beautifully dressed Y/n staring at them with a relieved smile on her face at the sight of them. The boys could feel their hearts flutter in their chests at the sight of here. Oh, and there was Idia in the front row.
"Darx we challenge you to a Magic duel, If we win You will set our friends free," Trey said in a serious tone.
"hahaha, I can't wait to squeeze the lights out of him," Floyd laughed.
"Challenge excepted,"  Darx smirked.

Lance X !Fat Reader X Lotor - Race To Your Heart Ch.4
Tumblr media
---
Lotors voice was smooth as velvet as he continued to read you the book. It was an intriguing Altaian tale about how the universe guided two lovers to one other. 
More so, how their differences not only in race, but in status kept them apart. It was like a fairy tale.
"We have stories like this on Earth." Your voice broke the short silence as Lotor was in the middle of turning a page.
He turned the page, but instead of continuing with his reading, looked at you. You could feel your round cheeks flush up at the gaze, but his eyes held a look of curiosity. 
"Intriguing, could you possibly tell me one." All of his attention was on you and at this moment you didn't mind one bit.
Sitting up a bit more from your spread out form on the couch, you sat side by side to Lotor who completely shut the book and leaned back against the couch.
"S-sure, there's so many... Cinderella, The Little Mermaid. Beauty and the Beast....how ab-." 
"Beauty and the Beast." Lotor cut you off, but you didn't mind because his voice was filled with curiosity. 
You laughed at his eagerness and turned your blanket clad body toward him as you started to tell him about the Fairy Tale.
---
Lance was walking down one of the many halls of the castle, dread washing over him as Pidges words echoed in his head.
"Tell (Y/N) about the deal by the end of the week, or I'll tell her!"
The Cuban man shuddered at the mere thought. Pidge could be scary when she wanted.
Honestly, he saw nothing wrong with the little deal he made with Lotor. Lance knew you weren't property, you're independent, fierce and your own woman with your own options who will be heard and you've proven that point many times. 
A smile cracked on his face. He loved all those things about you and not to mention your humor, laugh, smile.. everything. Having been with the team since the beginning, you all got to know each other on a deeper level. 
Lance flirted with you because he was interested. Sure, he flirted with other girls, but it was just what he did. Although, what Lotor said rang true. He did flirt with girls in front of you, the girls you thought he'd go for. Rubbing the back of his neck, he grimaced. He never took your thoughts into consideration when openly flirting with other girls and thinking back to the side glances and the way your face would drop and how'd you just turn away and talk to the others.
A laugh caught the sharp shooter's attention, his eyes landing on the door to the library. It was your laugh, he'd recognize it anywhere. 
Another laugh, a lower more masculine one invaded Lance's ears. It came from the same place yours did. Looking down both ways of the corridor, he quietly went up to the door and pressed his ear against it.
---
"So, Belle falls for this Beast regardless of his outward appearance and solely on personality?" You nodded at Lotors question and gave a laugh. 
"Yes, but Belle also saw Beauty in the Beasts own right. I guess the saying, beauty is in the eye of the beholder rings true with Beauty and the Beast."
Lotor thought for a moment and then let out a laugh at your words. You tilted your head to the side wondering what brought on his laughter.
"You know what your tale reminds me of?" You only shook your head as Lotor shifted a bit closer to you, his leg brushing up against yours. You cleared your throat a bit at the close proximity. 
"What's it remind you of?" 
"You." Lotor gave you a smile as your lips dipped down in a frown. You could feel anger rise up as a string of curse words were at the tip of your tongue ready to be thrown in Lotor's direction until he threw his hands up and laughed at your reaction.
"Before you swear at me, please hear me out." Biting your lip, you nodded your head. You did just tell him the fairy tale, maybe he was still trying to process it. It would be a shitty move to yell at him if he was still trying to connect some dots due to the obvious differences in your cultures.
"This fairy tale reminds me of you because you don't see your beauty (Y/N)," Lotor paused for a moment as he grasped your soft hands with his large ones before continuing. "I know how you see yourself... like a Beast, someone who thinks they do not deserve love because of what they look like on the outside, but (Y/N), you're absolutely gorgeous. All of these flaws that you see are not flaws at all, they make you unique and beautiful...by the stars (Y/N) you are the Belle and you don't even know it."
You were speechless.
Was this real right now? Was he really looking at you because Lotor was actually attracted to you? You had so many questions swirling through your mind right now. 
"(Y/N)?"
Glancing back up, Lotors face was much closer than it was before. You could feel the heat radiating off of his body.
His hand cupped your round cheek, thumb brushing the side of your face in a calming motion. 
"Why did you say that?" Your voice was soft and vulnerable right now. This scene was right out of a fairy tale; the prince confessing his love and adoration to the peasant. 
"Because," You could feel Lotors hot breath as his face got closer, noses almost touching. "It's all true (Y/N), you're so much more than you think." You could feel your eyes start to flutter close as you leaned forward. 
Lotor leaned down, wanting to capture your lips. He wanted you to see yourself as he sees you: majestic, beautiful and deserving of so much love. His eyes fluttered close as well, wanting to bask in the warmth of your body and lips. 
Before the both of you could share a sweet kiss, the library door slammed against the wall, scaring the daylights out of you both as you both jumped back at the loud sound. 
Lance came around from the other side of a bookshelf, eyes fixated on the tall shelves as if he was searching for a book. The Cuban looked up at the both of you, surprised. Well, acting surprised really. Having heard everything Lotor said to you and the silence that came after, he had to stop it. 
They both are after your heart after all.
"Oh, hey guys!" The sharp shooter waved to you both and walked over. 
Your chubby cheeks were flushed from Lotors words, the almost kiss you two shared and now Lance having basically caught you both. 
"Reading by the fire, classic." Lance plopped himself in between Lotor and yourself, separating you both. You glanced over at the Galra Prince who was very much annoyed by Lance; his gaze glaring at the paladin. 
"We were having a very lovely time, until we got rudely interrupted." Lotor said this while still glaring at Lance who only hummed in acknowledgment.
You were looking between the two and the silence was thick and heavy. It made you a bit uncomfortable and with the silence still lingering, you got up from the couch, hoping to make a get away to your room.
"Where ya going (Y/N)?" Lance asked. Sheepishly, you turned to look at both men. 
"Back to my room, I'm getting a bit tired. Thank you for reading to me Lotor, it was nice." You gave the Prince a small smile. Your feelings of anger you usually felt around him, slowly disappearing. 
He smiled up at you. "Of course my little star, I quite enjoyed our time together, I do hope to spend more with you." He gently grasped your hand and brought it to his lips, gingerly giving the top of it a chaste kiss. 
"Y-yeah, that sounds nice." You brought your hand back and started making your way to the door and toward your room.
---
Once the door shut to the library, Lance jumped up from the couch, crossing his arms and glaring down at the still sitting Galran.
"Can I assist you with something?" Lotors voice was sarcastic in nature which only made Lance even more annoyed. 
"What the quiznak was that you just pulled?" Lotor knew what the human was referring to and it just made him smirk.
"I was simply expressing what a lovely time I had with (Y/N) tonight. It was marvelous, we shared body heat, I held her hand, pulled her close and the way her eyes fluttered close when I was near; it was truly something of fairy tales you might say." 
Lotor knew his words would irritate the paladin and that pleased him, but he also meant everything he said. That almost kiss did feel magical and he intended to finish it another time. 
"Y-you can't do that!" Lance shouted this at the Prince.
"Why not? Am I not winning her heart this way, is that not what was agreed upon?" 
Lance sighed in frustration before speaking. "It is, I just hope you're genuine with her." 
Lotor scoffed and stood up, looking Lance dead in the eyes. "I'll always been genuine with her, but what about you? Will you ever stop your chasing other girls around and making her feel like less than she is, or is that just what you humans do?" 
With that said, he made his way out the library, needing to get away from Lance before he did something to him.
Lance stayed in the library, racking his brain trying to come up with something to sweep you off your feet and show you how much he likes you. Sitting on the couch, he knew it was going to be a long night, but you were worth it.

Someone sent me a submit about your symbol post, perhaps because you don't have submit page (or maybe they sent me by mistake). I'll copy and paste what they said: [1/3] "I have no words regarding the analysis on the symbols! Fantastic essay by all standards! Just like to add: theta is also for thronos (θρόνος), meaning throne. Phi is also for phos (φως), meaning light, by extension fire because fire brings light (even though in ancient Greek the word for fire is pyr, πυρ).
[2/3] Light is the element of Apollo, who was its god, as well as (later) the sun’s. Light stands for truth, creation, nature, civilization, science, whatever humans build, but primarily for justice and politics, and Apollo is the mediator between humans and gods and protects the justice of humans (he doesn’t represent the gods’ justice, which belongs to Zeus).
[3/3] I don’t know what all this means to Martin and perhaps neither he in the books nor the show will show us. But it’s certainly interesting.“
Thank you for sending this to me!!! To my knowledge, I do nothave a submit option nor am I entirely sure how install one (?), so again thankyou for sending this in. 
And thank you, to the individual that this was originallyfrom and who said my analysis of the GOT Symbols was a fantastic essay.
All around, I’m extremelythankful and appreciative.
I’m going to be breaking down some of these new potential meanings to the GOT Symbols and what it could mean for certain characters. Because when I learned about the additional meanings of Phi and Theta, I got really excited. 
So this will be a short continuation of my GOT Circle & Spiral Post 
Spoilers Below for S8E03 “The Long Night”
Tumblr media
Whethe or not the creators themselves planned or knew about these additional meanings (or the one I brought up) is a bit irrevalent at this point. By that, I mean it would be really cool if this was all intentional, but either way they meanings do add weight to the symbols and almost develop into their own thing. 
I know S8E03 “The Long Night” just aired yesterday, but it was myplan to post/respond before it happened… But I got sick and didn’t do it. Soeven though the Night King is no more. I’ll still be mentioning him somewhat below.
Let’s begin with -
Phi also being for forphos (φως), meaning light, by extension fire because fire brings light (eventhough in ancient Greek the word for fire is pyr, πυρ).
We know the Night King’s goal is to create an endless night (perhaps literal or perhaps not), so that connects verynicely to the WW motivations and how the upcoming war might be viewed as theLong Night. Which I’m assuming if the humans win or survive, will be marked by the upcomingdawn (it was). 
And this also works withwhere’ve we seen the symbol in the show.
As soon as I read thatphos means light, I thought of Drogo’s Funeral Pyre.
Tumblr media
The circle that isliterally set ablaze. This is the moment Daenerys gives life to her threedragons. In the religion of R’hllor, Daenerys is believed to be Azor Ahaireborn and her dragons are her “light bringer sword.”
It’s also interesting thatwe don’t see the dragons until the daylight of the next day, indicating that anew dawn (new time/new era) is now here. And it was speculated by the majorityof fans the dragons will be the key to defeating the WW, so it is interesting how things turned out. The dragons didn’t bring the dawn nor Dany. 
But as brought up, light and fire are not the same. So maybe it is more fitting, than we think, that Daenerys and her fire, while can be related to light, aren’t the same thing as it. They weren’t the answer to the Long Night, because they’re not the light.
The light connection isalso relevant to Sansa to some degree as well, while more so in the books, some have linked Sansa to the dawn.
“When Sansa opened her eyes again, she was onher knees. She did not remember falling. It seemed to her that the sky was a lighter shade ofgrey. Dawn, she thought. Another day. Another newday.” (ASOS, Sansa VII).
This is more of a connection in the booksthan the show. And seeing as how the symbols are unique to the show, I want tokeep this overall essay (like the previous one) in relation to mostly just the show. So it’s mostly not important. 
Though, the scene where we first see theCircle Necklace has some interesting implications with “light” and “dawn”. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Most likely not an on-purpose decision, in relation to all of this meaning of light and the Phi symbol, butstill….
Light is the element ofApollo, who was its god, as well as (later) the sun’s. Light stands for truth,creation, nature, civilization, science, whatever humans build, but primarilyfor justice and politics
Light being the element ofApollo further builds the bridge between the symbol and the idea that it couldrepresent the First Men. As the COTF, to our knowledge, didn’t really have a civilization,or at least not how we view civilization. In GOT/ASOIAF, humans are the race who are stongly connected to the ideas of civilization, society, justice, science, and politics.
This also plays into theidea of what Bran said in S8E2, that the Night King wants to kill him, becauseBran is the now the memory of all human life and civilization.The Night King doesn’tjust want to kill all humans, but completely decimate their mark on the worldand all memory of them.
Overall, it would be interestingif we do get a confirmation (even just a visual one that this symbol once belongsto the First Men, rather than the children.) 
Because it just works out so neatlyrepresenting man.
Sansa, is one of the characters, who truly represents the human, political and non-magical aspect of the story (among others). 
And the idea of Apollomade me think of Artemis, his sister, and when I thought of Artemis I thought ofArya, Sansa’s sister. Apollo = Sun//Artemis = Moon
“Sansa is your sister. Youmay be as different as the sun and the moon, but the same blood flows through both your hearts. You needher, as she needs you …” (GOT, Arya II)
That’s just really fun and a neat connection, as many charactes are associated with the sun or the moon. Hell, both Sansa and Arya can be interchanged with the Sun and Moon symbolism. But still it’s a fun connection to the whole Apollo aspect and the Phi symbol. 
Creation
As mentioned before Daenerysliterally created life with Drogo’s funeral pyre. 
While, the COTF also created new lifewith creating the Night King, who also creates new life, after death -- that’s more connected to the Spiral.
Truth 
That could be implied to the truth Bran learns, that the COTF created the WW to destroy the First Men. Though that moment is far more associated with the Spiral symbol, since it’s present in that scene. 
And while another bookconnection, Daenerys is referred to as the “Slayer of Lies.” 
And this might be a stretch towards Sansa, but a lot of her journey is about her facing and dealing with the ugly and harsh reality of the world and all of its awful truths. And for the Creation aspect, one could argue she A. created that look and B. created this new version of herself in that first scene with the symbol. 
Theta is also for thronos(θρόνος)
Theta representing/meaningthrone is what I want to talk about last, because that has so many compellingimplications and meanings.
Starting withDaenerys. Her dragons (created by funeral pyre) are her claim to the throne. AfterKhal Drogo died, Jorah urged her to sell the eggs and retire, not to pursue thethrone. Because well, how the hell was she ever going to get it? But Daeneryssteps into the flame nonetheless.
And after Jorah sees herdragons, he’s onboard with her plan to take the throne 100%. Both him andBarristan Selmy both state that she will take back the throne with her dragons. 
For better or worse, her dragons are her throne and the way she will get the Iron Throne or even lose it.
The dragons and the Iron Throne are so closely tied together. From the literal Iron Throne’s existence being literally created by Dragon Fire to the Targaryens eventually losing their dragons due to the Iron Throne -- either their responsibilities as Kings/Queens or fighting one another for it.
Just look at promotional poster for Game of Thrones.
Tumblr media
Whether or not intentional with the Phi symbol in Khal Drogo’s pyre, the dragons and the Iron Throne will decide Daenerys’ fate, one way or another. But it is so interesting how the symbol is there when she creates her dragons. 
I’m really excited to see what happens next. Just because Daenerys, her dragons and the Iron Throne are just so intertwined at this point. Especially since we just had it confirmed, dragon fire was ineffective against the Night King. So...
The Night King, doesn’twant the Iron Throne, or any, but he does want to destroy human life. And a lot of the human-sideof this story, the politics, the suffering, the difficulties of war and so onare connected to the Iron Throne.
The connection to Sansa, is just wow (in my opinion). Theta is the one that visually looks exactlylike Sansa’s necklace, which really works with the idea of this necklace isSansa’s first Chain of Intent, in the symbolic/foreshadowing sense.
Which if it is, means it isopposite of Daenerys’ chain of intent, which is a three-head dragon pin/chain. Again,the three dragons are not just her Targaryen claim, but how she actually plans to getthe IT and a throne themselves in regards to how they give Daenerys power and status. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
 Sansa wearsthe circle necklace for a decent amount of time. It doesn’t just appear once with heror in one unimportant scene with her off to the side, it’s a part of her wardrobe. And somethingpeople automatically associated with her and the overall necklace and it has became an iconic look for Sansa over the years.
Tumblr media
It just reallyremindsme of Sansa’s purple dresses, an indication that Sansa is royalty + those little scenes, indicating Sansa will be Queen, without her sayingshe is the Queen/King.
This does not mean Sansa will get the throne or anything like that, just to be clear. 
But it’s interesting for one of the main political characters (involved in the political story) who wants nothing to do with the Iron Throne itself since the end of season 1, so she’s not even a major horse in the race, is involved with a decent amount of subtext of the idea of being a Queen. 
Again, perhaps this necklace is is just showing Sansa growing up and evolving. She may not be a major poltical figure (vying for the throne), but that doesn’t mean she can’t change or affect the board. 
Having her wear, a symbolthat can represent Throne is such an interesting choice, if they were aware ofthat meaning. But again, even if they weren’t and depending on how things workout, it will be interesting to see how this all lines up, looking back on it.
Especially since Daenerys doesn’t wear the symbol, but it is involved in the birth of her dragons and her true first steps in trying to take the Iron Throne. And Sansa wears the symbol, several times, but doesn’t want the Throne nor have any real claim to it.
And since season 8 has given us a lot of tension between these two female characters (and they are the only two remaining who are associated with it)...I’m excited for how that all plays out. 
But like you said and I’ve said. It hard to know if this was all intentional. I don’t really think it all was, it would be more than a bit insane if it was. So we’ll have to see how things shake out in the end. 
Perhaps these symbols will mean nothing, perhaps they were entirely on purpose or perhaps in the end they created their own meaning, outside the creator’s intent. 
But thank you for letting me know about the extra meanings for Phi and Theta. And thank you @une-nuit-pour-se-souvenir for sending the message to me.
