Adaine's Furious Fists part 1

Or

Porter takes Adaine under his wing au Day 1

Just a quick story/summary of how things would go if Porter took Adaine under his wing throughout the series. I made a post about how she is the perfect candidate for him with her anger throughout the series and this happened on a whim. Adaine and Porter actually could have had a really interesting story given how their lives actually intertwine a lot if you think about it. So Regardless, read this if you want, I just thought it might be a fun idea.

First day of freshman year porter is scoping out potential prospects in the courtyard not coming up with much.

Puts a maybe down for fabian, he seems more like a grandstander, but he did punch a kid bigger than him without provocation. Still more ropey than strong, but there are dexy barbarians. Gorgug is a likely candidate, he seems soft, but was able to go into a rage and pummel his attacker, Porter could work with that if he had to. But the metal flower and the singing ticks Porter off. Riz is a low maybe to a no, kids being bullied on the first day are usually a good source of rage, but the goblin kid just seems to take it. Fig he doesn't have a chance to see since she sneaks into the teacher's lounge so early. Kirsten is a hard no, religious trauma can bring out a lot of sweet rage, but with Daybreak breathing down her neck it would be hard to get close to her without alerting suspicion. Adaine is a hard no. A tiny trembling high elf wizard with a huge orb she could barely carry, wearing the uniform of the prissy magic school? No way, no how, Porter doesn't even bother to learn her name.

Later that day he sees Adaine have a panic attack over being given detention and he writes her off even harder because it's pathetic. But seeing Fig stand up for her, she's not the ideal barbarian, but she is a young tiefling girl full of rage and Porter see's his opportunity.

Even later he's called to the cafeteria and sees Doreen, Arthur, and Mr. Gibbons dead with corn everywhere. Goldenhorde explains vaguely what happened and tells them to watch. It would be a horrific scene for a bunch of freshman, but Porter has seen and done worse. Still, he doesn't want to talk to Jace right now. The guy is powerful, but too much of a talker for Porter's liking. He knows some of the kids died and were brought back, that's why Arthur and Mr. Gibbons are dead, but little else. He does notice that Doreen's skull is caved in. He thinks of what little he knows about the kids, of the maybes, only fig has a weapon that deals bludgeoning damage so he assumes it was her and now intends to take her under his wing now that she got her first kill.

Once the cops come, he and Jace leave, Porter goes to observe the kids. They all seems broken and beaten, and about to be sick, not surprising. Porter doesn't have any sympathy for them, but he does understand so it's not enough to write any of them off. They're clean enough but the blood on your hands doesn't wash out as easily.

Porter is intent on Fig, because he thinks she's the one who killed Doreen. When Sandra Lynn comes to pick her up he notices that she's an elf, and Fig was dropped off at school by a different elf, yet their daughter's a tiefling. That might explain why she's so angry the first day since she seems like a newly presenting tiefling. Trouble at home can be juicy, especially when fell blood is involved.

Last to leave is the pathetic little high elf girl, you could use her spine like a meter stick with how straight the girl is standing. Porter can understand being sick or scared after your first battle, but he feels like he's within his rights to mock this little elf girl when no one else is around. He has enough of stuck up high elves to deal with as it is, it's good to see them scared.

But speak of the devil, Arianwen fucking Abernant shows up to pick her daughter up and clearly doesn't want to be seen at Aguefort of all places. Porter knows Arianwen and hates her, she's another teacher and their town only has two so they're bound to run into each other from time to time. They're also technically allies through the Shadowcat, who Arianwen is the main liaison. They don't work together exactly, but there's no reason they all can't exchange favors when working on their own evil plans. Arianwen is a cold, stuck up bitch, but she's a powerful stuck up bitch.

The fact that she's hear means the little elf girl is her daughter, now Porter actually feels a bit sorry for the child. It's one thing to be scared after your first battle when you watched people, including your..., 'friends,' might be to early for that since it's the first day, but people your own age die. It's another to be forced to deal with Arianwen afterwards. Porter still finds it pathetic, but is more lenient since he knows what Arianwen is like, especially if the girl is here instead of at the magic school her mother teaches at. that explains the uniform at least.

Then something happens he's too far away to hear, but Arianwen says something to her, likely to berate her. Porter expects the little elf girl to flinch and cower, but to his surprise, she snaps back at her mother despite her fear. It's not much, but despite how afraid she looked only moments ago Porter can see the fury in her eyes when she snaps back at her mother and it's something that Porter wants to see more of.

Later on Goldenhorde/Kalvaxus is given the faculty the full rundown of what happened. Porter knows more than most of his fellow teachers, but when Kalvaxus mentions Doreen being killed he talks about how she was bludgeoned to death by her own ladle. Not Fig's bass like Porter assumed. One of the other members of the faculty, one of the casters that Porter didn't bother to learn the name of, asks which of the kids did it.

Goldenhorde says it was Adaine, for a moment Porter almost asks 'who the fuck is that' out loud. Since he didn't really learn the names of most of them yet. But Tiberia Runestaff, another frigid wizard bitch, chimes in as always 'Adaine Abernant beat Doreen to death with her own ladle? The girl is ten pounds soaking wet and a wizard, why did she use a ladle" clearly angry that one of her wizards would pop their kill cherry with a martial weapon instead of her arcane abilities, but Porter doesn't care.

Learning that Arianwen's daughter was the one who murdered Doreen, and with a ladle is interesting. And moves Adaine from a hard no to a solid maybe in his rage book.

Part 2

[dullgecko]

Messing with the bad kids is generally a bad idea because the repercussions can be anywhere from a stern but terrifying talking to (the Gorgug and Kristen end of the scale) to being woken up in the middle of the night by goblin staring you dead in the eyes hell sometime you don’t even get to be awake for it as fig can fuck with people’s dreams.

It gets truly bad if you mess with the bad kids and Ayda decides to deal with it. (She has threatened to unravel multiple people and flooded hell on the off chance fig was in danger)

The worst part is you wont even know what the repercussions will be. Usually they wont bother taking revenge for slights against themselves but you'd better hope that none of them hear about what you did to their party member because just because one of them has already gotten their payback doesnt mean the others wont come for their pound of flesh.

Riz will not stand up for himself in the face of mild bullying (well, anything short of seriously attacking him he'll let slide). He had it beaten into him in middle school that fighting back was a bad idea so he just takes it and moves on with his day. Even now that he's a, quite frankly, terrifying rogue he doesnt even think to get revenge for himself after the fact. Not worth his time. If he even hears rumor of someone fucking with his party though you'd better sleep with one eye open. Blackmail is his specialty.

Fabian has contacts, and money, and a vicious streak a mile wide when it comes to takeing revenge for his friends. Bit of a wild card when it comes to what he'll actually do given it can run from 'bought the company your parents work for and fired them' to 'kicked the shit out of you with his bare hands'.

Gorgug and Kristen are definitely on the 'stern and terrifying lecture' end of the spectrum. Gorgug is naturally very intimidating even when he's not trying to be, so when he's actually pissed off at you its a sight to behold (though its a very quite, restrained rage that makes it all the more scary). Kristen had younger siblings though so she's perfected the 'mom' voice. You will be sorry, and you will apologise like you mean it.

Fig is probably the last person you want coming after you. She's creative, can disguise herself as anyone, can get into your dreams and if she's mad enough will straight up portal you to hell.

Adaine is very good at in-the-moment revenge due to growing up with her sister. Ray of sickness, tashas hidious laughter and, if you've transgressed badly enough, furious fist.

They honestly try to make sure Ayda doesnt find out if someone has messed with them. The do not doubt for a second that she would burn peoples houses down over minor slights let alone large ones. With chronomancy at her fingertips did that bully ever exist in the first place? Did she prune that branch of their family tree all the way back to the trunk or are you just misremembering things?

FHJY ep. 18

✨✨FHJY spoilers ✨✨

( I wrote down a bunch of stuff while watching the episode and Im dumping it all here now)

I love a battle episode especially when it involves divine intervention, dragons, and the Bad Kids absolutely decimating their enemies

How angry do you think the Rat Grinders are when they realize that they sent these dragons to stop the Bad Kids and ruin their voting party only to see that Fig immediately utilizes them to make a cool ass music video and make the party even sicker than before

then Fabian secures 300 votes!!!!

How ANGRY do you think the Rat Grinders are when Adaine straight up humiliates Oisin by using her sick ass furious fist spell to DECIMATE one of his dragons in a single turn

Eat it Rat Grinders!!!!!

AND THEN how angry are the Rat Grinders when Riz Gugak the rouge extraordinaire (with the help of the rouge teacher who literally loves him and calls him one of the best students to come through Aguefort eat it Kipperlily) BLASTS OISINS GRANDMA OUT OF THE SKY

and thats all before the fated Beardsly d100 roll

[smolandweirdwriter]

I read your Gorgug&Adaine post and I just cant stop thinking about them. mostly about rage tbh & how gorgug's rage is always about protecting other people & adaine's furious fist protecting her and aelwyn and aaahhhhhhhh. yknow? anyways I wanna read your thoughts on it!!!! (if u dont mind)

Gorgug’s Rage has always been, first and foremost, a means of protecting his loved ones. Adaine’s rage has always been, first and foremost, a means of protecting herself.

To both of them, Rage is tied to cruelty. But to Adaine, rage is a product of cruelty, not the cruelty itself. Rage is, effectively, the only option, and anger at that being the only option, and so the cycle goes on and on. Because if people were kind, you could be kind back. But since they are cruel, do you want to duck your head and wince as they hurt you again and again and again? Is that any easier? Any better? What if you show them that they’re being cruel? What if you hold up their wrongdoings and say look at it? Will they listen? Will they look? No, no, no, they won’t, they’re not, they’re wrong they’re wrong they’re wrong and it makes you so angry. So maybe it’s another form of submission. Of not being good enough, of molding yourself into the stubborn, rebellious, monstrous thing they tell you you are. So maybe it’s just the only option. Maybe it’s the one that hurts the least. Or the most. Maybe you’re not sure. Maybe your rage is coming from the fact that you know this is wrong, that there should have been thousands of other options, that you could have been kind and instead you are this.

 And sometimes rage just feels good. Sometimes it’s not very noble. Sometimes it’s you hurt me I hurt you you will never hurt anyone ever again. 

To Adaine, rage is justice. It is taking what has been done to you and throwing it back at the person who hurt you. It is saying this is what you’re doing do you see it now? do you see this is what you are teaching me this is what you made me is this what you want? are you proud of yourself? (are you proud of me?)

And that’s what really solidifies it to Gorgug. That maybe what Porter’s doing is wrong, isn’t fair, and maybe he’s trying to mold him into something—but maybe Gorgug can take the pieces of the person someone else wants him to be and choose who he is.

Rage can be good. Rage can be about helping your friends, and yourself, and justice, and everything. Rage can be about looking someone in the eye and saying you did this to me, look at who I am now, I am better than what you wanted and that’s okay.

And maybe the byproduct of doing that is a dead body. Oh, well.

[deconstructthesoup]

Decided to finally revisit my Fantasy High class swap AU, Closer To Fine, and I've ironed out their journey to fit with Junior Year:

Riz: Stays a School of Illusion wizard throughout the story, though his thing of being a wizard in part to prove a point comes to a head in JY, when he's the only person in class who doesn't have the money to afford spell components---and he also has to worry about scholarships on top of that. Not only is he joining every school activity, but he's also doing whatever job will take him, and he's definitely stretching himself too thin.

Adaine: Stays a College of Creation bard throughout the story, but she does take two levels of wizard in JY due to her finally accepting that she's the Oracle---not the Elven Oracle, just the Oracle. (Adaine's Furious Fist is a bard and wizard spell in this story, btw!) She also struggles with inspiration and writing songs due to how stressful school has become---not to mention, she also has to worry about her own financial troubles---which leads to her both falling behind in class and having a hard time with her label. Knowing that she's a bard and has Fig's fame in this story, I figured it would be interesting to balance learning how to be a kid after leaving a shitty situation with the pressures of being in the public eye, especially when you're still struggling with anxiety.

Fabian: Stays a Swashbuckler rogue throughout the story, but becomes a Fiend/Pact of the Blade warlock in Sophomore Year after he meets Bill in Hell. His arc in JY is about how he's struggling to balance wanting to make his own name for himself while still showing his father that he's beginning to appreciate what he did for him, and his warlock pact and powers reflect that---his spells are more unpredictable if he's feeling in conflict with Bill, and they're easier to manage when Fabian thinks that he's doing something that'll make Bill proud... and yeah, he definitely feels some self-esteem issues when his spells get better the more he acts like a Seacaster. I always love it when a warlock's patron is their estranged parent.

Gorgug: Starts out as an Eldritch Knight fighter in Freshman Year, switches up to be a Samurai fighter in Sophomore Year after he reconnects with his birth parents and stops letting his fear of not being good enough get in the way of what he does, and multiclasses into a College of Valor bard in the middle of Sophomore Year with Adaine's help. His JY arc was harder to figure out, since the canon one is so specific to him being a Barbarian/Artificer, but I decided that it's still about him learning how to be his own kind of adventurer and combining the skills that come from his biological and adoptive parents, just in a different light. No longer just a protector, now something that's freer and wilder and more him. (Also, I just love the idea of him having enchanted drumsticks that can turn into swords. And him fighting with a magic drumset that he can summon at will. Fighter bards are so cool.)

Kristen: Starts out as a Zealot barbarian in Freshman Year, switches up to Wild Magic barbarian after trying out Yes!/? and realizing that it doesn't work for her (almost rejecting religion entirely), and multiclasses into a paladin once she makes the decision to have Cassandra as her deity---specifically, an Oath of Redemption paladin. Her arc in JY is not only learning how to properly deal with a god that works for her while balancing her own mental health struggles (ADHD queen, we stan), but also about balancing her own rage and deciding to lean more into a pacifist stance of reaching out and finding comfort in the unknown and unpredictable... which is difficult to do, seeing as she's Porter's student and he's in charge of her MCAT, and he wants her to be an angry Zealot instead of what she's got going on.

Fig: Starts out as a Trickster Domain cleric in Freshman Year, multiclasses into an Alchemist artificer in Sophomore Year after becoming close with Ayda and realizing that she likes experimentation and learning way more about how truly weird and wonderful magic is, and switches to a Light Domain cleric in Junior Year. She still gets the Gilear curse, though it's her Blesses that have a backlash and not Bardics, and I think she decides in part to worship Ankarna because, well, as an Archdevil, she's a peer of Asmodeus now, and the time in her life when she really needed them has passed. They're cool with it, though.

[hidingfromsav]

‼️ fhjy spoilers (episode 17 ramble) ‼️

episode 17...what the fuck!!!!

- first of all AYDA MENTION <33333 the love letter made me cry they're so perfect for one another I LOVE THEM SO MUCH :')

- british kristen..she'll come in clutch i just know it

- kristen's conversation with bucky :(((( i honestly want to make a whole separate post talking about that because god does it hit so close to home hashtag oldest sister vibes

- AND FIG WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG FUCKKK PORTER!! that stun scene in the hallway was scary as hell. but on a serious note: brennan's storytelling is fucking incredible, the way seeds were planted all the way back in freshman year and slowly and subtly built upon in sophomore year is SO good (also jace and porter 🤨🏳️‍🌈?) probably not but let me have my fun

- also murph realizing what's going on at the very end right before everything goes to shit is so funny, ALSO murph's rolls reallyy coming in clutch this season holy cow

- cannot wait for next week's episode but i'm also terrified. i can smell the upcoming emotional turmoil in the air.

overall takeaways: don't trust a man ever all they do is LIE. anyways the gay agenda is ALIVE AND THRIVING!!!!

here's 5 images to describe my feelings throughout this episode for funsies:

[atiyasnake]

Fantasy High: Sophomore year

Alright, I I know I'm def late to the game but last night I just finished the last episode of Sophmore year and oh my fucking God.

Saint Kristen Fuckin Applebees, Brennan's reaction to when they rolled a fucking Nat 20 and just basically being like, yeah let me reshape this new powerful divinity and call them Cassandra (I really love the name and description of this divinity omg). Like dude, it was fucking iconic

Riz is so fucking cool AFTER FUCKING DYING, I was freaking out this last episode. There were so many times when the whole party could have gotten killed. I was so worried that we would lose one of the npcs that I have come to really love.

Like Figs Dad, Ragh. Ayda, Tracker, the Hangman, the Hangvan etc, I've gotten attached to them. They are all such distinctive characters that I really want them to survive.

Gorgug, you truly are one of the greatest wizards. Like I know his character has low intelligence but he brought so many pieces together. He reminded the party of such important details that would have gone unnoticed by him. And he DOES IT SO WELL. I think he might be my favorite character. He cares so much about his friends and tries so hard in his own way and I think it's beautiful.

Fabian with the sheet. I really love how his character has went from punching Gorgug in the face to 'let me reach out with all that I can to catch my friend, The Ball and swandle him like a dam baby with my fire elemental elven sheet'. Like that's beautiful

Adaine joining the club of killing your Dad, iconic. HER AND JAWBONE BEING A FATHER DAUGHTER DUO, IM CRYING. I'm so happy that she gets the support. That she has made a new friend in Adya and they are so supportive for each other. Like she's still an anxious person but she's honest and so supportive if her friends so intelligent and BADASS, love she got Adaine's Furious Fists.

Fig, saved her fucking dad with her new Girlfriend!!! fucking revived Riz with a sickass baseline. Her use of illusions in this Nightmare King Forest was so freaking creative and I loved seeing everyone else's reactions to it.

Brennan, dude, was so cool at describing the setting and actions of the characters and bringing them to life. I'm a reader at heart, but I had no issue with listening to any of the players and DM and actually being able to see the story play out in my mind like when I read. It was so fun to hear their voices, seeing their facial reactions. REAL TEARS WERE BROUGHT TO MY EYES. I CACKLED AT the turn of visceral fear to 'shit in my mouth' of Chugledown Bim.

I just really enjoyed it, I'm so happy to have been able to watch it all and I'm excited about seeing how Junior year went too.

Bad Ideas of the Day, part 5, Even Worse Edition

It's time for my monthly-ish roundup of my regular bad ideas of the day from the D20 fanfic discord! Last month's is available here and has links back to all the prior ones because now there's too many for me to be bothered direct linking here!

As usual, these are a mix of fantasy high and other D20 prompts and are open for anyone who wants to do something with them, though I appreciate letting me know because I wanna read it!

Bad idea of the day, class swap (but not like that) edition: Due to a clerical error - namely, their cleric signed them up for it - all of the bad kids have to attend each other's classes for a week, resulting in Fabian sitting through a Worlds Religion lecture, Kristen doing her -3 Dex best to sneak around in rogue classes, Gorgug going to the bard classes that Fig never actually went to, Riz doing his best to remember everything Adaine's ever mentioned about how wizarding works, Fig faking fighting instead of raging for once, and Adaine trying to pass off her furious fist as just being how her anger manifests

Bad idea of the day, abc edition: In the village of Happly, at the harvest festival, Pinnochio enters his infamous bubblegum and whiskey pie and gets himself run out of town by a mob of angry villagers

Bad Idea of the Day, Toxic Masculinity is Undead edition: The adventurers of Solace are well aware of Halloween, because every year on that date the soulless corpses of villains slain in the past year rise again to chase after their killers. Can Fabian keep ahead of both Zombie Penelope Everpetal and Zombie Bill Seacaster?

Bad idea of the day, Figueroth Faeth's Day Off edition: Receiving notification halfway through junior year that one more unexcused absence is going to result in her being expelled, Fig drags her friends into a heist to break into the school, fake her attendance record and show that she's been there the whole time.

Bad Idea of the Day, Drama Edition: It turns out that there's a reason that Aguefort has a theater department. Once every hundred years, a performance must be put on that is quote truly moving unquote lest the school be destroyed, and it turns out that Riz is fated to play the heroine of the most recent attempt. Can the Bad Kids teach him to not botch his lines or hide under the stage?

Bad idea of the day, not all cats are good cats: Puss in Boots must fight off a new contender for children's hearts and minds as the trickster cat du dour. Can he successfully murder this strange cat and his lame rhymes and thing-like minions to keep his throne, or will he be the first to fall to seussian influences?

Bad idea of the day, death stalks you edition: Adaine starts sending out Solstice cards to people who annoy her throughout the year with prophecies of their deaths. Most of them she just makes up, but one or two are genuine every year just to mix things up.

Bad idea of the day, World's Greatest Detective edition: Riz is asked to solve a murder that seems to have all the classic detective tropes he truly loves involved; it's only partway through that he realizes that Fabian, with their friends' help, has staged it because they were all worried about Riz getting bored and spiraling between quests.

Bad idea of the day, I know Halloween was two days ago but I rewatched in the mouth of madness recently edition: The Bad Kids come to realize they are being controlled by mysterious and unknowable forces, and reach a decision: To cut off the flow of evil into the world, they are going to need to find and kill whatever a 'DM' is.

Bad idea of the day, I think we've all learned some valuable lessons here edition: The Dream Team realizes some kind of truly awful existence is sweeping over new york, in which every conversation and conflict ends with everyone having picked up a seemingly valuable but really quite shallow moral to the tale; they eventually figure out that it is in fact an attempt by a powerful sorcerer to turn the world into an after school special on this, a very special episode of The Unsleeping City.

Bad idea of the day, No Really A Starstruck ODYSSEY edition: The crew take a smash and grab job investigating missing people near a remote outpost, and discover a mad scientist conducting strange experiments but also offering great hospitality and food. Can the crew of the Wurst figure everything out before the more foolish of them (gunnie) end up as pigs?

Bad idea of the day, just how sure are you about this new god edition: In the summer before junior year, Fig and the Sig Figs record a music video for their new smash single. Watching it for the first time, Saint Kristen Applebees notices something in the video that noone else seems to be able to see: A familiar tabaxi, hanging out in the crowd watching the concert.

Bad idea of the day, that gum you like is going to come back in style edition: Fig at last discovers Porter's one flaw that makes him a truly intimidating barbarian with an unstoppable rage: Students putting chewed gum onto the bottom of their desks.

Bad idea of the day, ashes to ashes edition: Tired of Fig's chainsmoking cloves, Jawbone and Tracker stage an intervention to maybe at least talk her into some sort of rebellious vice that doesn't stink up the home of two werewolves with strong senses of smell at least

Bad idea of the day, my frog is real and so is magic edition: Adaine grows up without spellcasting ability at all until on the morning she starts at Aguefort, when on her way walking to school she runs across a frog who offers her magical powers she might be able to use to improve her life.

Bad Idea of the Day, You Wouldn't Steal a Car edition: Seeking to impress his father, Fabian gets into Solace's new age of piracy, selling illegal copies of movies, music and apps throughout Elmville. Will the lawsuits catch up to him in the end, or can his amass a horde of treasure suitable for a Seacaster?

Bad idea of the day, unfamiliar edition: At Some Point in the future, Jayhson feels a magical tug from afar and appears due to the whims of one of these 'humans' who has summoned a familiar. Can he kill this whizzered and get back to his family?

Bad idea of the day, I shot the Sheriff edition: Riz wakes up one fine morning in his office to discover Agent Angela Worrel came knocking in the night, and one of the traps his paranoid ass has set up for his office has killed her. Can he cover up this capital offense, or will Worrel finally succeed, posthumously, in getting at least one Bad Kid in jail long term?

Bad idea of the day, foreseeable problems edition: The Hangman gets impounded due to a series of unpaid parking tickets, leading Fabian to argue that the Hangman should count as a pet and not a vehicle. This results in him also getting tickets for having his dog off the leash.

Bad idea of the day, Heaven or Hell edition: Following an unfortunate but hopefully temporary death, Figueroth Faeth finds herself at the center of a dispute between the planes that threatens a war, as Hell wants its archdevil but Rock Heaven insists that they have a claim to everyone who has a rock album go platinum. Will this begin a true battle of the bands?

Bad idea of the day, I admit these are getting weirder edition: The bad kids wake up one morning in the midst of a campaign designed by just the worst kind of a DM, with railroaded sidequests, boring samey npcs, and combat every six feet. Can they figure out what's going on and escape back to Spyre before rocks fall and they all die?

Bad idea of the day, Lost Things and Misfit Toys edition: Irritated as hell at the blue fairy after ending up a puppet again, Pinocchio turns not to his new stepmother for power but instead someone else who dislikes the blue fairy, someone else who believes in the occasional misdirection, someone who is pretending to be the blue fairy's sister…. one "Gwendolyn Thistlehop".

Bad idea of the day, the WORST fusion edition: After she goes on a mission trip to parts unknown, all of the bad kids notice that Kristen is acting… odder than normal. This is because (burrow's end spoiler!) she's being piloted by chipmunks, of course.

Only Oracle prophecies explained

(breaking down all the prophecies Adaine says in the fic)

"Don't worry, you'll find the ones you know you lost eventually." - Remi actually wrote this one! The intention behind it was that Riz will eventually recover the seven maidens but maybe not Adaine, since he doesn't know he lost her. I chose the happier version where he did indeed find her instead of her, you know, starving to death on the street.

"Fabian" - all their titles are linked to prophecy. Fabian's is just his name because some day he becomes his own man, unlinked to what others want him to be. Not Son of Bill Seacaster. He's just Fabian.

"The Warlocks of wealth beg for deliverance. The Son begs for glory. Begs for mercy." - Bill's warlocks want something from Fabian, Fabian fights Whitclaw for glory, Fabian runs. Adaine's intention with this is just to find something with a similar word to "please"

"Saint of Mystery, Night and Magic" - title for Kristen. Kristen becomes Cassandra's saint.

"On an island that isn't. In a garden that isn't. The librarian eternally resets." - Referencing Ayda (Leviathan is a constructed island. The Gold Gardens isn't a real garden.) Adaine says this when asked if she is a wizard, mostly to show that she does know what wizards are!

"It's Gorgug, keep going." - title for Gorgug. Do I need to explain this one?

"At the moment of glory frozen confection shall fall like snow." - at the end of the prom fight the Wish activated and ice cream rained down. Adaine says this to reference ice cream :)

"Blood dripping crown, as the legend flies the son falls." References Fabian falling after confronting Whitclaw alone. Hanging upside down from ropes, blood dripping off the top of his head. Adaine says this to be mean, referencing his lowest point.

"Cleric for the true Galicaea" - title for Tracker. References her mission to spread werewolf Galicaea in Fallinel.

"Pressure makes diamonds, pressure cracks stone. Pushing and pushing until Aelwyn Abernant explodes." - references what *would* have happened to Aelwyn. (With the torture orb and everything). Adaine's prophecies can't pick up memory wipes, those are a real wild card not supposed to happen.

"Bitch" - title for Aelwyn. Referencing past Adaine constantly calling her "my bitch of a sister"

"Licensed Investigator The Ball" - title for Riz. He was very excited when he was first called that.

"Big Sister" - nicer title for Aelwyn

"An island that isn't, a garden that isn't, a party that takes and take and brands their flesh." - reference to the party the Bad Kids have in Leviathan. ("A party" means both the festivities and their adventuring party). Adaine is using this to communicate the idea of drugs.

"A haunted manor, full of ghosts, full of love." - reference to Mordred Manor. Adaine says this as confirmation that Aelwyn is trustworthy. Part of the love.

"Archdevil Figerouth the Infaethable. King of Hell. A child surpasses parents. Surpasses and surpasses." - full title for Fig. References her taking over Gorthalax's domain.

"Rage, rage, rage, bound together for love." - okay this one was just for me. :) Gorgug, Zelda, and Ragh all start dating each other.

"Death by magic. Death by hands. Revenge comes in one strike." - Adaine can still Furious Fist murder her father :) as a treat

"Space may sperate but those bound in love will live eternal in each other's memories" - everything's going to be fine. And Adaine loves her friends and family

Adaine's Furious Fist pt 2

The second day of school starts with half an assembly, half a wake. You aren't surprised, but you also don't really care. Arthur was a crackpot, but you respected him for his bloodlust and power, not to mention when he was more in his faculties his refusal to play by anyone's rules but his own, and probably not even then. Doreen was a fine woman, but you normally ate in the teacher's lounge so your paths didn't really cross.

Gibbons on the other hand was an asshole, through and through, you're glad he's gone. He might have preached about feelings and all that garbage as the guidance counselor, but you've always known what he was. He could fool everyone else with the calm caring persona he put on, but you always knew there was a monster bubbling under the surface. He had was fueled by spite, not even rage, and was just too much of a coward to do anything about it. The look in his eye that he always had when talking to someone who turned away and he thought no one was watching. It actually creeped you out enough to avoid the little bastard.

Well he's dead now, probably in some hell somewhere if there's any justice in this world, and Justice has been dead for a long time. You'll find his grave after school and piss on it when no one is around for your own form of justice.

But well death happens and time moves on. You still have classes to teach and the second day which means you actually get a good look at the freshman this year. There are always two types of barbarian freshmen. There are those who are afraid of their rage, soft weaklings that you need to mold, or there are arrogant little bitches. The latter were often kids who hit puberty before the rest of their age group. They grew taller and stronger earlier which tended to give them an ego. It was important to break them down early, to knock them off their high horses and make them realize there was more to being a barbarian, more to rage than just being bigger and stronger than your opponent. Sure it helped, but monsters tended to be bigger than adventurers, even if they're not bigger than you anymore, so being bigger and stronger than the rest of your party didn't cut it in the real world.

That's why you have the gauntlet the first Friday of the year for your freshman class. You open it up to all comers in class, anyone who can take you in a one on one fight gets an A for the semester, don't even have to come to class. You won't even use your warhammer, just your barehands. You've been teaching at Aguefort for a long time, no ones even managed to knock you down much less beat you. There are always some cocky little shit who thinks they're big and bad because they're taller or stronger than their classmates, but none of them are as big or as strong as you. Usually three is enough for the class to get the message, and this year will be likely be no different.

As always, it's always the bigger stronger races in your class. Goliaths, half-orcs, orcs, firbolgs who aren't interested in druid classes. But there are also two shorties in your class this year. Donavan a Satyr and Skuttle a Kobold. Both short, both girls, but you don't care. You're a lot of things, but you're not racist or sexist. sure you are planning on other throwing your goddess to take her place, but that's because she's not willing to finish off her ex wife or sister. And for power, power a big part of it. But no, it's not about putting a woman in her place no matter what anyone might think.

Donavan is a trembly as the Abernant girl was yesterday. But there's something about her that makes you take an interest. She's strong, not the strongest, but it's still something. She hasn't even raged yet, but there's something about her that stops you from suggesting she take a different track.

Skuttle on the other hand is the strangest barbarian student you've ever seen. You've mostly seen the scared or the cocky, you've never met an apathetic barbarian until yesterday. You thought it might have been first day nerves, but she might actually just be like that. She does what you tell her to do, nothing more nothing less. Like Donavan she's strong for her size, but you're still unsure how to teach her. You just decide to ignore her for now, let her do the classwork and then go on her forums for whatever. Not worth teaching someone who is apathetic in the face of rage.

The only other outlier is Thistlespring. He says his name is Gorgug, you don't really care, he looks like a Gorbag to you anyway. He's the softest fucking barbarian that you've ever seen. He actually thinks singing is a good way to deal with foes. He is strong as fuck, but you still almost kicked him out of your class then and there you were so angry.

But then the Fig girl, the tiefling from the other day piped up. she might be enrolled in the bard class, she might even be a bard, but you can tell she's a barbarian at heart. There's a fire in her, not just in her blood, and it was pure poetry that came out of her mouth when she talked about rage. You almost shed a tear. You were a bit let down when you learned it wasn't her that finished off Doreen, but it will be worth it to have her in your class regardless now.

The worst part of Arthur dying is Kalvaxus is the new acting principal, kind of. He doesn't actually have that much power since he's still the vice principal, but he acts like he's in charge. The new video crystals that the faculty has to review every day or so so and it's your turn now.

You hate reviewing the crystal footage, sure Watches and Wards might not be in the library, but who would be foolish enough to attack a school of adventurers right after their principal and other faculty was killed. It might seem like a good time for idiots, but it actually meant the school was on high alert.

You also hated the AV club, especially that Biz. He thinks he's some sort of stud and the gods gift to women. You want to turn the little bastard into mulch the second he said two words to you, but you have to maintain the teacher persona for awhile. Arthur might be dead, but you are no closer to the name so the plan is stalled for a bit unfortunately enough.

It was boring reviewing the footage, kids doing dumb kid things, yougot enough of that in class. that is until you reviewed the AV club footage that you find something interesting. Fig and Gorbag's adventuring party they formed with the other detention kids shows up there. They're still only first years but they seem more competent than any first years you meet. Arianwen's daughter..., Balewyn is there clearly being a key part in the investigation. But Biz doesn't care enough about that, just about the pretty girl who waltzed into his lair.

Your blood boils. You don't care about the girl at all, you don't even know her name other than Abernant, but you might not be a bad guy, there are some rules you should follow if you're going to call yourself an adventurer. There's something called professional courtesy. Sure adventurers fell in love all the time, but that doesn't mean you hit on everyone you find attractive. That's just creepy and annoying. regardless if they are students, they are at the adventuring academy and trying to solve a mystery, that means the Abernant girl, no matter how pretty she is, Biz should have respected her as a fellow student at the very least or a fellow adventurer.

But you actually laugh at the way the wizard girl dresses down Biz. She calls him on his shit and dresses him down on the way he talked to her and her friend Gorbag without any mercy. It was a thing of Beauty. It's strange for you to applaud a sharp Abernant tongue, but you do all the same. She didn't look scared now, she looked righteous. Not quite the same as rage, but when she talked was so sure and right, you're not even sure you're looking at the same girl as the other day.

Unfortunately that was it, but it actually seemed to make Biz think, even if you could tell it wouldn't last. They all rush off after seeing something in the monitors, but you're done for the day so you don't care. Still, between that Fig girl and this Abernant daughter, there's prospects to the plan that you never thought of

Part 1

[dullgecko]

Bad kids headcanons

Riz had been accidentally laid on multiple times, 1) Gorgug, and he never did it again he felt terrible 2) Fabian has done it multiple times but mainly because Riz was laying on his bed or under a pillow 3) Kristen, continuously does this hasn’t learned surprisingly.

Gorgug and Adaine go out of their way to feed the other bad kids, they have everything from apple slices to protein bars, to baked goods.

Fig has playlists for all the bad kids, and surprisingly it’s not all metal, it’s songs that genuinely fit the them. Sometimes they get emotional while listening to them because some of the songs hit hard.

Fabian takes the bad kids to do expensive activities that he thinks they’ll enjoy, he takes Kristen to dance lessons, Riz to an escape room, Gorgug to take a class for a falconry, Adaine to a self defense class (furious fists!!), and Fig to a movie set about doctors who keep making out?? (He had no idea what do for her)

(Junior) Kristen tries to get all of her friends to work out together, so far she’s gotten most of them to participate. Gorgug used to be the only she asked to come so he could spot her. Riz just sits on the treadmill and brings them water occasionally.

The unfortunate instances of the squished Riz

Gorgug had gotten up to go get more snacks while the rest of the kids were watching a movie. He was gone a while because he's the kind of person who enjoys things like cut-up fruit instead of popcorn as his snack of choice. He was holding a plate in one hand and was watching the screen when he went to sit back down again and accidentally squished Riz who had finally arrived after one of his club activities while Gorgug was out of the room.

No one had told him that Gorgug was sitting on the couch before he arrived so he just plopped himself down with the pillows on one end and fully passed out from exhaustion. His nap lasted about four minutes before he got partially sat on by their barbarian, took a shitload of bludgeoning damage, and scrambled free while Gorgug apologised profusely. Gorgug is much more careful about checking where he sits now, even if Riz isnt there.

_~_~_

Riz tends to disappear into Fabians room a lot in junior year when he's a) exhausted all the time because of schoolwork and clubs and b) still having to attend a billion social gatherings at his house in order to help Kristens campaign. The bard/fighters room is always locked during parties but a locked door isnt even a challenge to Riz. He hits his social limit, disappears upstairs, picks the lock and sits in the dark in the partially soundproofed room until he feels like he can deal with other people again without getting snappy.

Most of the time he just passes out for twenty minutes or so on the bed for a power nap before going back downstairs but more than once he's slept so long the party has ended, Fabian has stumbled back to his room drunk and exhausted and not turned on a light and just fully faceplanted on top of the goblin who's curled up in a ball and very pillow-shaped in the dark. Sometimes Riz is too tired to turn the lights off in the room (reaching the light switch involves jumping for someone his height) so he just hides under the ten or so pillows piled on the bed to block out the light and gets flopped on that way. At least Fabian is lighter than Gorgug, and all it really does is startle the shit out of Riz and wake him up. Depending on how drunk Fabian is though Riz might not get to leave until the next day because he cant escape the grapple.

~_~_~

Kristen just doesnt look before she sits or lies down. At sleepovers she'll flop down wherever, not caring if that lump next to Fig is suspiciously goblin sized or not. Full weight flop, unexpected yelping and sometimes biting if she doesnt get up fast enough. She even rolls over in her sleep a lot and will steamroll anyone in her way. Its gotten to the point that if Riz does bother sleeping he has to strategically place himself where their cleric cant get to him easily. Near Gorgugs shoulder or against Fabians side are the safest spots.

He's not even safe when just sitting half the time either. At lunch time he will sit cross-legged on the cafeteria table if not eating otherwise Kristen might try to occupy the same bench space as him because she's paying more attention to her crystal than where she's going.

--------------

Fig will sometimes just send random songs to her friends crystals too, they always end up getting added to their playlists because they're always a banger. Fig is also responsible for the road-trip dj-ing, she's the only one they can trust to put on songs everyone will like and wont fight over.

------------

Kristens dance lessons are mostly because he tried teaching her himself and is now deeply traumatised. Best to leave it to the professionals. She's getting better at things like square dancing but ballroom dancing is off the table. Too many broken toes.

Riz's escape room, all time record beaten. He found all the clues, decoded all the cyphers, found all the hidden doors and panels, put together the narative and was out within three minutes. It was honestly a little scary to watch, Fabian just stood out of the way near the entrance as the goblin went full investigator mode (he did help once by picking Riz up so he could reach something on a high shelf but he doesnt count it as participating). Technically Riz could have done it in one minute but he felt like he had to do it properly so he made sure to follow the proper steps and collect all the clues (he thought they might get extra points that way). Riz gets a little pin saying he beat the room with his time on it and clips it to the collar of his vest.

Gorgug thoroughly enjoys his falconry lesson and even after its finished still sometimes goes back to visit and see how the birds are going. He would have also enjoyed a trip to the zoo but Fabian framed it as more of a 'i would like company at my falconry lesson' rather than a gift for the half-orc (Gorgug was honestly a little surprised that Fabian wasnt taking Riz but some of the birds were very large and he could just imagine one flying off with the goblin so didnt ask questions).

Adaine actually asked Fabian to teach her some hand-to-hand fighting because, even though he has levels in bard now, he is a fighter himself. He decided to bring in a teacher once a week for a month or so at his manor to help the both of them improve their skills so she wasnt doing it alone.

Figs day out was fun but weird. He payed for a full studio tour where she got to meet the actors and watch some filming on set from off to the side. Fig had a lot of fun, mostly because she secretly watches the show and got autographs from her favorite characters.

--------------

Gorgug and Fabian will join her sometimes, but they can literally run circles around her. The pair of them do help her with her form so she doesnt hurt herself though, or try to put way too much weight on at once. Fig and Adaine fully do not want anything to do with it, not interested at all. Riz will sit and watch, and go fetch water if needed, but he's basically jogging all day every day to keep up with people and doesnt need the extra cardio.

Adaine & Aelwyn Abernant (Dimension 20: Fantasy High) Propaganda

Adaine

"Quote from the part of the ""Relationships"" section of her fan wiki page about her parents Angwyn and Arianwen Abernant: They treated Adaine very coldly, treating her older sister, Aelwyn, as the golden child of the family. They were constantly disappointed that Adaine wasn't living up their expectations, especially when she failed out of Hudol due to her anxiety attack. They were cruel to her throughout her entire childhood, and she hated them for it. She confronts them on several occasions, but they only ever see Adaine as a difficult, unreasonable child. When they flee to Fallinel at the end of Adaine's freshman year, she does not seek them out and instead moves in with the school guidance counselor, Jawbone [who is also a werewolf]. Later, when her bilogical father appears and kidnaps her, Adaine disowns herself from them, swearing that she'll never cooperate with him after he was so cruel to her. Angwyn says it's what he expected, but doesn't seem upset by it. In the second to last episode of Fantasy High: Sophomore Year [the second season], Adaine kills her father with the spell ""Adaine's Furious Fists"" [written for her by her friend Ayda Aguefort]. She casts it at fifth level and deals him 77 damage [twice his maximum hit points], killing him in one hit [instantaneously, with no opportunity for death saving throws]."

“She and her sister got a little bit (read: a lot) fucked up by controlling parents. Yay!”

Aelwyn

“Her parents suck so bad they make me physically angry to think about Her dad tortured her for nine months by just shoving her in an ever spinning ORB Her mother don't even gaf she's too busy doing blood sacrifices Her parents then teamed up making her come along and her father caught and tried to TORTURE HER YOUNGER SISTER INTO SUBMISSION 😒 hate those guys they did die in the end though so pretty cool”

*Shane Madej voice* The boys are here

[ID: A digitally-drawn image of Fig Faeth, Fabian Seacaster, Adaine Abernant, and Riz Gukgak from dimension 20’s fantasy high, a group also known as the bardy boys. They are all running towards the right of the screen. Fig is a pink-skinned tiefling-elf wearing ripped plaid pants, a yellow tank top, a leather jacket, and a phoenix feather earring, and she is playing her bass and smiling. Fabian is a dark-skinned half-elf in a grey tank top, navy sweatpants, and an eyepatch, and he is running with his arms raised, his battle sheet billowing out behind him with red sparks coming off of it. His eyes are closed and mouth is open as though is whooping something, and there is a speech bubble coming out of his mouth that has a flower and a broken stick on it, mean to signify his “spring break” chant. Adaine is a fair-skinned elf wearing her jean jacket, green shorts, and a pink-striped tee. Her right hand is in a fist and glowing with the spell Adaine’s Furious Fist, and in her left hand she is holding a book with an arcane rune on the back and “Cool Shit” as the title, and she looks both angry and focused on her spells. Riz is a green-skinned goblin wearing a maroon vest and slacks, a brown newsboy cap, a white undershirt, and a maroon tie. He is holding a magnifying glass in his left hand and looking through it, smiling. /ID]
