#Millie smells like maple syrup

A post not about Poppy.

True, severe, intractable pain warps your mind, body, and soul. It changes you, turning you into your demons. It will make you do things - think things - say things that your heart doesn’t mean. It causes intense fear and constantly trigger your flight or fight response.

You can’t sleep so then comes the delirium..

You’ll lose friends, family, support systems, and yourself.

Your body begs you to try turning it off and back on again, knowing “off” is a permanent status and there is no reboot.

The phrase “this is killing me” is so accurate it’s scary.

Character Intro: Myrízei (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- Myrí by Kópros

The Little Alchemist by Hermes

The Nerd Wonder by Prophasis

Stinkbug by Caerus

Age- 8 (immortal)

Location- Hearthwood neighborhood, New Olympus

Personality- A very intelligent and inquisitive young man, he's far more mature beyond his years. He can out-do most beings in anything science & math related. He views his intelligence as his greatest power, but can also be arrogant, unsympathetic to other beings' feelings, and a bit of a know-it-all.

He has the standard abilities of a god except shapeshifting. As the god of smell & gases his other powers/abilities include having an enhanced smell, flight (by way of vapor emission), atmospheric adaptation, miasmakinesis (gas manipulation), temporary sneezing inducement, bodily gas manipulation, being able to communicate with stinky animals (like skunks, hoatzins, etc...), temporary anosmia inducement (loss of smell), his "sonic sneeze," his "stench storm" (emitting a horrible smellling poisonous vapor from his mouth & nose), and being able to emit a terrible stench from his body when threatened or experiencing heightened negative emotions.

Myrízei is the only child of his father Kópros (god of manure & excrement).

The two of them live in a cottage in the Hearthwood neighborhood of New Olympus. The thermostat is always kept at a cool, not cold setting. Contrary to popular belief, the abode is very clean. Myrízei's room is immaculately spotless and organized. The walls are painted black, pastel blue, white, & green while also being covered in various scientific posters. There's a GIANT poster of the periodic table on the ceiling. The floor is covered in blue carpeting as well as a bookshelf that contains his board game collection, various science textbooks, & other books.

He has a few pets- a blue tongued skink named Argon, a leopard gecko named Beaker, three bombardier beetles named Vector, Neutron, & Atom, as well as two millipedes named Millie and Miles. There's more pets he wants to get in the future.

A go-to drink for him is white grape juice. He also likes seltzer water, ginger iced tea, apple juice, ginger ale, coconut milk, & his dad's homemade orange carrot ginger smoothies. Myrízei likes drinking the smoothie with the crazy shaped glass straws he made himself.

Two of his favorite things to eat for breakfast is a bowl of Earthly Harvest multi grain flakes (topped with sliced bananas) or a hot bowl of steel cut oats topped with dark chocolate chips & a little bit of maple syrup. If his dad makes eggs, Myrízei likes them dry and scrambled.

It's not known definitively, but it's been said that his IQ score is between 200 to 250. He knows the IQ score of Athena (goddess of wisdom), which is past 400.

Myrízei is very sensitive to strong smells, hating the majority of perfumes and colognes. When he bathes, he loves using the Pure Clean Co. gentle unscented body wash.

He loves snacking on raisins, figs, dates, bananas, & apples.

Myrízei loves his dad and the two of them are very close. More often than not afterschool, he's at his father's doctor's office downtown. He appreciates the fact that his dad is supportive in his interest in science, but also feels like he's holding him back from it. Kópros rejected the idea of having Myrízei enroll in University in just a couple of years when it was brought up during a meeting with his science teacher & the school's principal.

He sometimes wishes that he was a student at Athenium Academy (which is more academically rigorous & challenging) instead of the private elementary school he's currently enrolled in.

Myrízei's school lunch is always the same without fail, made by his dad. It consists of a peanut butter & fig jam sandwich on whole wheat bread (with the crusts cut off), a bottle of ginger iced tea, carrot sticks, saltine crackers, and a small cup of banana yogurt. He does like it when the school has ice cream day in the cafeteria every week, settling for a small bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with toasted pistachios.

His other favorite frozen treat are blueberry popsicles.

Myrízei is currently on break from school. His other godly schoolmates include fellow third graders Hebe (goddess of youth), Prophasis (goddess of excuses), Caerus (god of opportunity & luck), Paidia (goddess of play & amusement), Aceso (goddess of healing), Physis (goddess of nature), & Mneme (goddess of remembrance), a fourth grader Xenia (goddess of hospitality), & the fifth graders Calleis (goddess of allurement), Melete (goddess of thought & meditation), Aidos (goddess of shame, modesty, humility, & respect), Ersa (goddess of morning dew), and Eulabeia (goddess of caution).

A guilty pleasure for him is white mushroom pizza, but with no pizza sauce.

It's common knowledge that Myrízei is probably the smartest kid in the entire school. He doesn't seem to care when the other kids groan when he's quick to answer every question the teacher asks. Myrízei is aware of his bad habit of criticizing & correcting his fellow classmates. He does find Caerus' wisecracks about him annoying.

He once sneezed outside during recess and ended up flying 30 feet in the air!

Myrízei doesn't really have friends, but is friendly toward Xenia, Aceso, Mneme, and Physis. There's also an aurai boy named Scirco that he usually eats lunch with. The two have a lot in common, like their love of science & the fact that they collect trading cards!

He's an exceptional academic student, his favorite class and subject being science. Myrízei adores his science teacher, a harpy named Mr. Thornwing. He likes his teacher's dry sense of humor and the fact that he lets him eat lunch with him sometimes in the classroom along with Scirco. Mr. Thornwing will also give Myrízei university level chemistry and physics worksheets to do for fun or extra credit. When school resumes, he's looking forward to the class trip to Nisyros, to see the state's volcano!

Even though Myrízei doesn't like gym class, he still participates. He hates how sweaty he is afterwards.

In the pantheon he does like Morá (goddess of babies & children) who's often his babysitter. Myrízei liked when she took him to the New Olympus Hall of Science, the largest science and technology museum in the city (with his father's permission). He also admires Hephaestus (god of the forge), Techne (goddess of arts, crafts, & invention), Tithonus (god of insects), as well as Aetna (goddess of volcanoes); is a huge fan of her earth science TV show Kólasi!

It's been set up that Myrízei's official mentor will be Diochetévo (goddess of sewers, garbage, & waste).

He does miss his dad's ex-girlfriend Aegle (goddess of good health). Myrízei really liked the book of science puns she got him as a gift.

He really enjoy himself with his dad when they went to a football (soccer) game in the city. They sat high on the stands eating bags of spiced olives & gyro hot dogs topped with sauerkraut. Myrízei and Kópros made each other laugh with a burping contest on the way home.

In his free time he enjoys watching TV (mainly cartoons & science documentaries), chess, drawing, working on various chemistry projects, reading, bike riding, and gardening.

His all time favorite meal is brown rice with roasted brussel sprouts & kale.

"Chemsitry is the language of matter, and we as scientists, are the storytellers."

⤷ Day 5: Todoroki Shoto + lazy mornings

Synopsis: in which your pro hero boyfriend would rather spend his mornings with you than anything else

Word count: 466

Pairing: Pro hero!Todoroki x fem!reader

Fluffvember Masterlist

On Todoroki’s day offs, there was nothing he loved more than feeling your presence next to him as the sun seeped in through the nearby window, seeking the comfort he lacked during his childhood.

It was strange, really, how easily your boyfriend lulled to sleep when he laid next to you and how difficult he is to wake up on those mornings... with the exception of one thing.

His hair was matted and messy as it tickled your chin, prompting the vibrations from your giggles to shake him awake. When his half-lidded eyes met yours, you could hear him mumble a soft “good morning” before starting his daily ritual.

This was your favourite part of the mornings: him subconsciously brushing through your hair and humming an incoherent song as your cheek was pressed up against his muscled chest.

Now, that one exception that could really wake Todoroki Shoto up is the sound of your grumbling stomach as it signaled your need for breakfast.

His eyes pop open and begins to leave the bed as if it were his alarm clock. This was the perfect time to admire your beautiful boyfriend, chest chisled showing off as he preferred to sleep shirtless to take in the cooler air.

“Pancakes with maple syrup and powdered sugar right?” He asks, eyeing you for confirmation before heading out to the kitchen.

You laid there for a couple more minutes, bundling up in your blanket as the lingering smell of Todoroki’s fresh, clean laundry smell mixed with your vanilla scent travelled up your nose.

After getting up yourself, you met your boyfriend in the kitchen where he was cooking up some pancakes with a serene smile on his face that lit up when he noticed you.

The ambiance of the morning was romantic. You wrap your arms around your boyfriend from behind, tippy toeing to rest your nose on his bare shoulder to take in his actual smell.

His hips began to sway, making you sway with him to the beat of the birds chirping outside and you chuckled at his unexpected move, and he turned his head slightly to see your laugh.

With the pancakes cooked to golden perfection and your boyfriend presenting them to you like he was on a cooking show, the only thing you could do was munch on them appreciatively, which you did.

Shoto could barely contain his smile as he saw your face melt into a euphoric expression as you ate your favourite breakfast, and forgetting all about his hero duties for the week. In an unusual attempt of physical affection, he let his feet rest under yours to maintain some form of contact with you as you both enjoyed your peaceful morning.

It was amazing how home could actually be a person.
