↳ @afracturedexistence asked: 42 If invited to a TED Talk, what topic would they present on? What would the title of their presentation be?

Honestly for Arrow would be something revolving around music and its therapeutic qualities, plus all his firsthand experiences with it. He's a strong believer in the fact that music can heal. But, of course, he would have to make his title punny. Like 'a Trebled Man' or something.

On a similar note Mina would also do something about music but more so on the 'coming togetherness' of it all. Basically, her experiences in seeing people from all walks of life come together to enjoy this one, harmonious thing. And her title would be far more to the point, something like 'Music and Us.'

↳ @afracturedexistence asked: 💡Do you get ideas from reading meta/headcanons/bios, or do those only pop up as you write?; 👾 Is knowing a fandom more comfortable when RPing, or do you prefer knowing muns? (Overall.) Do you try new things, or get into new fandoms?

Answered here! And here~!

One thing Harmony had learned since they last saw each other was patience. Rather than continue with her questions, she was more than willing to wait for an answer. She could tell that something was up when her uncle hesitated, yet she only quirked before nodding. Of course, she remembered the wyverns.

Who could forget a fight that awesome?

Teal eyes watched the item being tossed about before reaching out and taking it when offered. The teen turned it one way, then the other in curiosity. One ear was turned towards Mephiles to show she was still listening while looking at the glowing energy.

Despite the warning, part of her had been tempted to toss it. Thankfully, the side that agreed with her uncle won out, and she held it gently. Almost cradling it like one would a pet. The Zone had dragons, but they weren't like Sesen and likely would have caused a stir if they were seen.

Even if the place where they were sitting was mostly empty, save for the two of them.

"Ifrit..." The word was repeated, brows furrowed in thought. "I think I've heard Silver mention 'em once, but I dunno what they are."

She'd always assumed they were something from the future where the hedgehog came from. But he rarely elaborated, saying that he was keeping it vague to keep from changing too much of his time. It was always way too confusing for her.

"What is it?"

He supposed it made sense that the Freedom Fighters would find themselves performing – what he thought to be – more menial sort of tasks. Someone had to work on restoring a place hit by a natural disaster, after all. Still, an incident with the Chaos Emeralds sounded like it should have taken precedent.

“Two weeks is not so bad.

“… ah.” Mephiles’ eyes darted to and then away from her. Such simple questions were so complicated. He ran a hand’s set of fingers through some of his quills.

“Well…”

No, none of these questions were easy. He cleared his throat as he quickly determined what the order of difficulty so as to better answer them.

“Well, Sesen has grown rather large. I believe she’s done with her growth spurts, but you remember the size of those wyverns we fought, yes? Her head is significantly larger than I am like this.”

He tapped his chin thoughtfully before retrieving an item from his quills. It was roughly the size of a Chaos Emerald but clearly some sort of mechanical item. It was fairly circular with four points that looked as though separate pieces were clasped onto it; a light blue emitted from it, positively buzzing with energy. He tossed it just above his hand and caught it – it seemed very light. Then he offered it to Harmony to take.

“They call it a cryopod, a technological marvel. It is capable of absorbing a life form, halting time for it and safely storing it. Some below the life boats developed them and they are now a staple everywhere in that world. I’m sure you can think of plenty of ways that such an item could be useful to a society whose lives revolve around their creatures.”

He made a little tossing motion with a hand, then looked as though he thought better of it, peering about.

“On second thought, perhaps do not throw it. Most modern cultures are not so agreeing of dragons in their worlds.” Words spoken with deep amusement.

Despite that, her other questions did weigh heavily on his mind. Iblis was quite a difficult subject. His brother had spent very little time among them when they had made that trip to the city, a trip that hadn’t been very productive. Mephiles did think that Harmony might get a kick out of knowing that more inhabitants of that ARK now had their own wyverns, but he was too focused on other matters to segue into that.

“As for what I have been up to…” Very thoughtfully spoken, though his mind betrayed his calm demeanor. Mephiles was quite glad for the bench they came upon and took to it immediately.

“Are you aware of what an Ifrit is?”

     {➹} – IT WAS UP TO MEPHILES to decide if the hedgehog staring at him was doing so because he was honestly wary of the other (given how the dark had an odd way of throwing ‘affection’ his way) or simply didn’t know what to say after such a long absence. Or what he could only assume was a long absence. The multiverse was funny that way, what had been three years for the hero could have been any length of time for Mephiles.

     Regardless, if the dark looked hard, they would have undoubtedly seen some joy in that emerald gaze. Despite everything, Arrow had missed the other. 

     “Mephiles...”

10. What was the hardest lesson they had to learn as they got older? - maybe something more recent?

[ backstory ] ;; accepting

     That some things just have to happen and no amount of trying is going to stop them. He knew this but it was really thrown back in his face during Robotnik’s last attack and the appearance of Chaos. He and the other heroes tried their best to keep damage and casualties to a minimum but that didn’t work out as well as they wanted. No matter how hard they tried it seemed that Robotnik was always one step ahead of them until the doctor died. And then they couldn’t stop Chaos from causing more disorder. 

     So I guess he learned some things have to happen and that he just has to accept them and move on.

shoves a red heart box with a bow on it full of chocolates at him "Have this. Don't ask where I got it. Oh and the box is edible."

     The question is there. He wants to ask it but just looks down at the box and the chocolates before just accepting it. It wasn’t completely out of the blue with the holiday from yesterday. But...

     “Thanks, Mephiles.” The box was set to the side, to be shared with Harmony when she got back from her little adventure with tracking dinner. “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

Send a 🎯 to learn a random headcanon I have for my muse

Despite the fact that she probably should be a bit concerned for her hair at the very least, Rebecca doesn’t give a single damn about crawling through the sewers and air vents.

The same surprisingly doesn’t go for when she’s actually working on repairs, she ties her hair back with a strong, blue ribbon so it doesn’t get in her face or get set on fire while she uses a welder or similar.

           now there was a familiar face. it was a face neither hedgehog had seen in a while but a friendly one all the same. even if they hadn’t gotten to know each other that well the last time they had met, there was no reason that couldn’t change today, right?

           “you’re...mephiles, right?” amy sounded fairly sure that was right and smiled warmly at the taller being while her partner managed a much more casual wave. “what brings you back around here?”

Undertale Headcanons:

Volt has occasionally grossed out a friend or two when he takes a piece of raw meat and will eat it. Sometimes he’s not even aware he did it until the taste hits his tongue and he hears the ‘disturbed’ sounds next to him.

“... you’re strange.” Jayce’s head was just tilted to the side. “... nice, but strange. Can’t quite put my finger on why.”

“I wanna get to know you better.” Stella smiled. “You seem pretty interesting, and I think you’d be a great friend to have.”

↳ @afracturedexistence asked: 💓

{➹} – "UM..." SOMEWHERE IN the back of his head the hero could have swore that there had been a talk about personal space with a certain deity at some point. In some other part? He had a feeling Mephiles hadn't cared even if they had. There were many things the hedgehog wanted to say, but none of them seemed to want to come out in that moment.

Namely because someone had taken it upon themself to press against the hero's chest and, frankly, it had frozen him in place. He hadn't even gotten to utter a word after seeing the deity but Mephiles either had incredible observation or this was the oddest greeting the hedgehog had ever been a part of.

Maybe it was both...

"Hello again. 'M fine, by the way..."

There was a enticement to jump out of the water. To break the surface and merely swallow the odd thing staring back at her. Another temptation fought for the sake of curiosity. A part of her was even thankful for that as she watched the thing leap closer to the water. It was far from normal.

It was no creature she had ever seen before, yes. But she wanted to know more about it. Little did she know, the creature was thinking the very same thing about her.

It was the curiosity in the air, the mutual feeling of it all, that made her swim towards the stranger. Idiotic, maybe, but if the other did decide to attack it wouldn't have been the first time she had been shot at or otherwise assailed.

It was actually pretty common for her. Especially in today's age of fearing the unknown.

Fortunately, those same people usually learned it wasn't always better to shoot first.

This time around however she was at least a little more subtle with slipping her head out of the water, just enough that she could articulate without it being muffled by the water.

"Has no one told you staring is rude?"

There was a voice in his head that said Just fucking jump in at it. He ignored this voice.

Instead, a careful eye watched as… something… moved about just under the water’s surface, distending it. Then came visual confirmation, his eyes picking up something that he could not discern the nature of.

It would be very easy to leave. An intelligent choice, even. Just a quick flap of his wings and he could be rid of whatever this was. It was intended to be a day – or few – of relaxation. Now… now he was curious.

There were so many routes of forward operation to choose from: he could go fly above the water and risk spooking the thing; the same risk was run for throwing anything into the water. But what if he didn’t throw it?

Further out into the water was a submerged boulder. He leapt to it, wetting his feet and tail tip. From there he lowered into a crouch, eyeing the water suspiciously. He still wanted a drink, but that would preferably come without getting his face ripped off by something.

((Aside from the essential rule and about page, I will read further along the blog posts. I take that time to see more of how they thread, extra character headcannons, what kind of OOC posts there are.

I can tell ye, that I can’t help but smile ear to ear when I see mun that gushes and nerds out in their OOC posts about their muses. Seeing muns that are passionate about their muses and enjoying their own stories and headcannons is a pleasant, and something I more than welcome on my dash.

However, If I see tons of recent posts that involve participating in drama,  callout posts, vaguing others, then… I will be hesitant…))

          slowpoke isle was, perhaps, one of the very few areas around where the winter season could actually flourish. its usually high rolling hills and impressive architecture was now hidden under a blanket of snow, creating a mystifying effect when it came to the varies small waterfalls and lakes. 

          with white being the primary color around them, it was no wonder how sonic or amy saw the tall, dark figure not too far from them in the distance. whoever they were, amy was adamant about introducing herself but, before she could take more than three steps, sonic’s hand grabbed her, stopping her in her tracks.
