WHAT FORM WOULD YOUR DAEMON TAKE?

Perching bird

Your daemon would take the form of a perching bird! Those who have perching bird daemons are intelligent and like finding patterns, though unlike other bird daemons they are more chatty and social. They enjoy putting their inner thoughts into words and wearing their heart on their sleeves.

What perching bird is your daemon?

Blackbird

Your daemon would take the form of a blackbird! You are an alluring and knowledgable individual who knows how to play to their strengths. More so than others with perching bird daemons, those with blackbirds are at ease in a crowd and easily express their feelings. They appreciate new experiences and are highly competent and resourceful.

note: THIS IS NOT FINISHED!! tumblr is rlly messing me up by posting my work earlier whenever i save my draft lol. feel free to read as i write the ending. reader is male! a male!! a certain character will be calling him "lady" for the plot!! i wont spoil much but please keep that in mind ;; this is messy lmao

poor you were just on the way back to your apartment after a barbeque party with your friends— until a drunk man grabbed you from the dark alley way and stabbed you in the stomach and pussied out after he realized what he did.

is this how you die? fuck, he couldve do you a favour by taking you out in one go and not run away?? loser behaviour.

you laid down in your own blood in the dimly lit alley way, your vision slowly getting blurry as your surrounding turns into a blur of colours and into nothing.

before slipping into darkness, you heard a loud voice shouting out your name. its too late, bootlicking shitfuck.

you opened your eyes by the sound of bird chipping, you stared up at the bright blue sky accompanied by someone with dark brown hair and green eyes staring back at you.

"Lady Amador.. it's time to go back to the palace. the prince is looking foward for you during lunch time."

who the fuck is lady amador, and why are they wearing a maid outfit?

sitting up, you take note of the grass underneath you instead of the rough concrete floor from earlier- are you hallucinating to the point youre in this nice garden..? huh, why are you wearing a dress, did a creep kidnapped you and dress you in one of their grandma's dresses?!

panicking, you got up towards the pond and looked into your own reflection. you still looked the same as before, you cant say the same since your hair looked much longer and the light makeup on your face.

lady amador.. prince?? garden.. holy- is that a palace behind you?! whats going on?!

before you could brainstorm any longer, the person from earlier waved their hand in front of you, catching your attention. "lady amador, its time to go. prince sebastian is looking for you."

prince sebastian? sebastian..

slowly, everything clicked to you, did you really reincarnated as one of the characters in the novel "The Villainess's Ultimate Plan!" holy shit.

you touched your face, and then looked into the pond again, that face..

the villainess younger brother?!

the one who disguised as the protagonist.. the one that planned the entire scheme to assassinate the crown prince but end up getting beheaded one day after the wedding night?!

with that information, your vision fade into black once again.

"My lady?!"

jerking awake, you hunched over, clasping a hand against your face. you slowly takes a few deep breathe, you slowly brought your hand away.

you looked to your side, the same person from earlier is standing next to you with a worried expression. not only them, a man with bright gold hair is sitting on a chair nearby reading a book.

prince fucking sebastian. the man that you're supposed to kill during you and the prince's wedding night.

he looked up from his book and walked up to you, you flinched away when he raised his hand, he stopped his action before he promptly caressing your face.

"you, please step out of Lady Penelope's room." he ordered the person (the maid maybe?), and they complied.

there was an awkward silence in the room, he was still holding your face, you looked at the side, scared to hold any eye contact with the man in front of you.

"look at me." he said in a stern voice, like a mom scolding her child.

so you did, afraid of any consequences. (since he was the same man that's willing to destroy the kingdom for your supposed sister.)

he let go of your face before sitting onto the side of the bed, his face is blank,, as if he dont care about you, but the worried tone in his voice said otherwise.

"y/n." you jumped at the name, how did he know your name- wasnt he supposed to call you by your sister's name ?! before you can say amything, he cut you off.

"..i was waiting for you at the dining table, but i got the news of you fainting in the garden right after waking up from your nap."

"..i apologize."

he leans in towards you, settling his hands onto your face once again as if to inspect for any injuries, he lets go once again when he saw no visible injuries.

"i know you prefer to be called lady amador when it comes to appearing as your sister, but a maid was here, and i have to convince people we have a medium love with each other.

especially when our wedding night is two days from now on."

what. the story already started?! no- screw that, how did he know you were pretending to be penelope?!

"how did you know im not lady penelope?" you kissed your teeth, gripping onto the comforter, subtly slapping the prince's hand away when he tried to reach for yours.

"lady penelope had sent a letter to me, personally stating about her plan, and we agreed on one term: i keep you safe and she sends me information of the war, simple.

though, i shall say, youre quite the beauty."

you were about to curse at penelope but your ears becoming warm after he said that, he chuckled before getting up of the bed.

"most married or engaged couples have monthly night together, and ours is two night from now on. we wont do anything sensual, do not worry."

"what-"

"see you tomorrow at lunch, dear." he kissed you on the forehead before walking out of your room.

for the next two days, you learnt the person at the garden is your personal maid, Andrea. apparently she found you laying on the ground at the garden (that sebastian built for you.) after you stated you were gonna take a stroll.

you also met your personal knight, William, Penelope's second love interest but was sadly killed when he defended you during your trail.

the three of you got along well, often seen having conversation near the garden or having tea party together. sebastian watched from his office and smiled at the sight of you chatting with Andrea.

william on the other hand,, have been too close to you for his liking. he nearly ripped an important paper when he saw william wiping off some biscuit crumbs from your face- why is he so touchy? Andrea couldve done that using a napkin.

he broke his pen, the black ink soaked his hand and his paper work. did you like damian better than him? why did you become flustered when the knight spoke about something?

should he get rid of him?

how troublesome.

he remembered when a butler and notify him what happened to you. he nearly tear down the entire palace when you didnt wake up for two hours he almost frown when you flinched and move away from him when he reach out to you. the way you were nervous around him,,

he slowly calmed down, reminding himself that you and his night together is tonight. he sighed, he should finish his work first then meet you tonight.

back in your chamber, Andrea and a few other maids helped you to get ready, even helping you to take a bath. you enjoyed the smell of lavender from the soapy water, an old maid massaged your body when you're just soaking inside the bathtub.

the old lady was kind enough to even offer you a drink as she tells you stories of her youth.

after that and when Andrea deemed you 'clean', began to dress you into a white night gown made with the finest silk, the strap of the grown barely hanging on your shoulder. the maid had explained that you have to wear this because 'the prince gave the gown as a gift.'

was he not shameless when his gift includes a set of lingerie?!

you fidget around with the ring, Andrea styled your hair into a loose braid, making sure you look presentable before leading you to the prince's chamber. you insisted that you walked by yourself, so she went back to the maid headquarter.

walking down the dimly lit hallway, no one is wandering except for a few knight patrolling. you soon arrived in front of his room, knocking a few time to make your presence known "sir sebastian-"

before you could finish, sebastian opened the door and grab you by the waist, dragging you into the room.

he lifts you up and carries you to the spacious bed, he gently laid you down and take a whiff of your scent before mumbled out a "you smells nice.."

you looked at him with wide eyes, he was only wearing a robe- your eyes wonders down and sees his toned body that he had clearly worked on. he noticed you and grinned, taking your hand and putting it on his chest

"like what you see?"

if you could kill him right now you would.

instead, you pushed him down the bed, him lying down on the bed and you on top.

"what if i do?

also.. i will be the one in charge tonight."

you leaned down, opening his robe hastily and take one nipple into your lips.

sebastian nearly flipped you over, but he held himself back. he moaned when you grinned onto his crotch, he lightly tugged your hair, leaning in as if asking for a kiss.

you gave him what he wanted, he softly moaned into the kiss, slowly his hand make its way towards your shorts, pulling it down your ankle before he pulls away from the kiss.

he sat up against the bed frame and settled you on his lap, he took in the sight of you wearing his gift- that he had commissioned for it to fit you, and god.

you are so pretty.

hair messy from the kissing session, the collar of the gown was low enough for him to see the lacey bra, a garter designed with silver lining tightly wrapped around your thigh and the underwear that only covered your erected cock-

he want to eat you up,,

so he did.

Sebastian was known to be a beast in bed as he was known in the battlefield,, was what the novel described him.

Unfortunately they were true to their words, his thrust was harsh and deep, creating impacts thats enough to make you cry out.

so much of being gentle?! he even ripped off your outfit, leaving you naked!

he was nice enough to eat you out earlier, even giving you to opportunity to ride his face.

sebastian continue with this harsh pace, holding one of your leg onto his shoulder while another holds your hand. his apologized multiple times while grunting, saying things likes

"im sorry- ah! youre so tight!"

"mm- if you keep moaning like that- hng! i wont be able to slow down-"

"dear.. mmh.. im sorry.. i'll take care of you later-!" im gonna kill you, you handsome bastard!!

you clung onto him on each thrust, it just feel so-! sebastian suddenly changed the position, pushing you on your knees while holding your arms at the back,

"se-sebasti- ah! wait-! mngh!" he holds your hand behind you back tightly to ground you, the position didnt help at all, you couldnt muffle your moans and his dick reach deeper than it did in the previous position.

he panted, letting go of your arms fearing that your arm is sore. he gave an apologetic kiss on your forehead before continuing .

he grunted when you tighten around him, he tried to sooth you by giving stroking your cock, but that only add to the pleasure as you cried out of overstimulation.

you felt like you were melting.

you had climax into sebastian's hand, fuck- why isnt he stopping-?! you continued to cry out before he stuff his finger with your cum into your mouth, you immediately bit onto his fingers to muffle your moans.

his climax came sooner than you expected, he twitched and came inside. he slowed down his thrust, riding out his climax before pulling out.

you panted, thinking its over,, until sebastian gripped your aas and spread them apart revealing your winking hole, dripping out his children batter.

without hesitation, he dive in as if its his last meal, slurping and eating his own cum. you moaned at this, trying to push him away but he stayed still.

"what are you-"

"round 2? gotta have heirs for the future y'know.." he said with a toothy grin, flipping you over your back and pressing you thigh until your ankle reach your chest.

"ah?!"

the knights guarding outside sebastian's chamber looked at each other then looked down, the two of them had an erection from your moaning- tone it down sometimes!

a/n: not proud with this one, will check and edit it in the morning (its 3.56 am right now) goodnight ^_^

Lando and team were celebrating very nice to see and then mbs showed up and ruined it(zak brown was there so it already was kind of ruined)(and then the two evils hugged each other...astronomical amounts of evilness was achieved)(the only thing that kind of saved that frame of them hugging was that Lando was hugging his dad in the background)

Charles was sulking even after that masterclass race and then mbs showed up and ruined it even more

Podium was nice if you were anyone other than charles leclerc. You have zak brown being borderline animalistic and overjoyus being more happy than the entire team combined lol. Also Carlos's last podium in red♥️

pray for george russell and charles leclerc nothing wrong with them they had to stand on the podium with brad pitt and act like they weren't just sulking.

You also have the Ferrari and McLaren crew hugging each other in the pitlane.(No...fight fight!)(Jk jk no but it's really nice to see those two teams not hold toxic grudges)(The season is over focus on next year if you're a Ferrari fan) (this season is over focus on next year if you're a McLaren fan but celebrate first)

Oh also nico rosberg has been saying Lewis Hamilton is his friend and also the greatest driver of all time(idk what implications this has but I don't think the goat part should surprise you he has always put lewis above others)

We saw 24 drivers this season and 5 of them have not made it past 2024 with a full time race seat. Thank you for your services Kmag, Valtteri, Zhou, Logan and Daniel. History will not forget you and we might see you some other time in f1 nobody knows how this circus works! (also checo could be a part of this club pray for him i suppose)

[kaiju-krew]

So I know this is like, a month late (forgot to ask when you posted the pic lol), but what's up with Labra? He got like a backstory, lore, or something like that? I'm curious and wanna know more abt him.

drew him again :3c

UHMMM yes i am lore building for him........ i haven't decided everything yet but i know i want him to be a distant cousin species of goji's. everyone's fangoji lore is different but i def imagine him as a part of my personal monsterverse au rather than existing in his own world with no friends haha loser

putting a cut here so i dont spam people's feeds lmao

likeeee for comparison it's probably similar to Crocodylia encompassing crocodiles, alligators, and gharials?? labra is in a similar niche to zilla for me. goji is the largest/apex species of the gojiran order, whereas zilla & labra are smaller and occupy a different niche. Big bruiser lion vs. carcal or lynx type thing.

my hc is that the vast majority of labra's species (pre-mutation art is what they looked like) was wiped out when ghido got into hollow earth. which is also the same time he wiped out most of the divine moths and a couple other species :''(

it ended with ghido iced but it fucked up the hollow earth ecosystem for a while and led to a lot more radiation leakage since he tore the place up real bad. labra was Almost Dead and ended up hibernating to recover by a radiation vent, but he'd laid down in feldspar vein that kinda grew to cover him and turned to labradorite and idk magic radiation nonsense it fused with him and caused him to grow/mutate.

the ghido massacre also caused battra to hibernate/mutate too so it's a Big Event in my silly au world. most of the kaiju that are clearly a result of mutation fuckery (biollante, kessho too) may be related to it as well but i haven't fully fleshed it out yet. it would mostly be based around goji's hyper-regeneration doing the thing where like.. if a big enough chunk of him gets lobbed off and has access to energy it mutates and tries to regenerate and causes a fucked up clone siblings thing idk omg ok i'm in tangent city good god sorry i was supposed to be talking about my gay son

ANYWAYSSSSSS for more general hc/character stuff: >labra is genuinely terrified of ghido and even gets freaked out when he hears wing beats without warning. (mosu beats rodan's ass bcuz he divebombs labra for fun sometimes) >he lives on monster island and ventures down to hollow earth sometimes, but he won't return to his old home because it just reminds him everyone else of his species is gone. (he isn't even his own species anymore bcuz of the mutation. so they're basically extinct.) >he loves swimming and sometimes just lays in the shallows to absorb sunlight. stretches out like a lazy ass cat. cat boy behaviour >he's loyal to goji and doesn't start shit with humans unless they attack first. even then he does his best to steer clear. >mothra likes his dorsal plates and talks with him sometimes (Moth Therapy) they can bond over ghido hating it's a good time >he has a mutually bitch-bother dynamic with rodan where rodan bothers the shit outta him until he manages to grab that turkey and idk sits on him or something. but if rodan really pisses him off he doesn't mind actually throwing hands because he knows goji won't care if he puts the bird in it's place. >he also likes angy, zilla, and bio a lot too.

there's more but i'll stop there for nowwwww

tldr: big gay lizard is traumatized but doing ok ig

[burningcheese-merchant]

I've been jumping ships constantly and I've fell in love with your take on burningcheese yandere and them just being dorks

We definitely need more content of them crk fandom is lacking in that department... I fell into the rabbit hole and it turns out I can't get out! >A<

I love bird behaviour sm like imagine BS wanting to learn about birds because he thinks GC is a bird so it equals as getting to know her better 🥹

Me w/ BurningCheese fr fr

I love when people tell me they like my take on this ship and/or I convinced them to ship it, it makes my day lol. I love them so much, they're EVERYTHING to me. I can't stand the thought of shipping either of them with anyone else. They BELONG TOGETHER. They're SOULMATES. They are a fundamental truth and law of the UNIVERSE!!!

It hurts but I agree with you about the lack of content 🥺 there's a good helping on here and Twitter is, fortunately, FLOODED with BurningCheese (most of it is from Asian fans though), but there's been a dry spell lately and it bums me out. I'm going to try to make up for this with my own doodles + more fics (gonna update the newest one on AO3 later today, also my short story backlog is huge lmao), and hope that the shippers I know on here feed us again soon

Also, totally with you on BS studying bird behaviors in an attempt at wooing GC lmao! I've had that concept on my brain for ages now, it's so Them™️. Gonna try to draw stuff relating to it, so keep your eyes peeled (also also, if you haven't read it, perhaps this little story of mine shall appease you)

Gonna keep seducing people to the BurningCheese dark side without remorse. Thank you for joining my army, together we shall brainwash the entire human race and make BurningCheese the 11th commandment

[wulvercazz]

Hello again!

What are your Grimmichi Headcanons?👀

And are you a fanfic reader? If yes, do you have some favourite fanfics?

hihi sorry this took a lil while! hmmm there's quite a few aghdgfh so.. here's a list agdhgfh

All these will be canon/canon-adyacent :> (for me that's til aizen's defeat lmao!)

🍓Pre-relationship🫐

Ichigo does get his powers back but slowly and yes w some help like in canon but mostly by himself,,, I have a beef w no one ever telling him shit when he's in distress so,, that part of canon stays lmao!

In relation to this; Grimmjow's one of the few who help him train but also fight the angsty feels from losing his powers in the first place. At first, Ichigo isn't aware Grimm's there, until Grimmjow practically forces Ichigo to be able to see him adsffd

Figuring out their feelings for each other and, worse, actually getting together is a nightmare at first bc neither wants to acknowledge it in the first place, and second... flirting with Grimmjow fckn hurts.

On that thought; Grimmjow not only fights for fun, the fucker bites to show affection. It takes Ichigo a long while to figure this out. It Yuzu actually who first proposes Grimmjow's too excited to see him/be with him to know what else to do with himself,,, so he bites him to relieve the too-strong feelings. It's practically cute-aggression asdhfh Ichigo doesn't know what to do with this info (and his fourth nasty bite of the month, that he hopes doesn't get infected) until he decides retaliation is the only way to answer.

Grimmjow goes full playfight-mode when Ichigo does bite him back and it's the first time anything gets close to intimate.

Grimmjow can be very shameless when it comes to straightforward sexual intimacy, even though the kinkier (closet kinky tbh) one is Ichigo. But he's also very easily flustered by more innocent touch. Or other demostrations of affection.

He's straight up against kissing at first, even. Bc Hollows only put their mouth on each other for one thing and, shinigami or not, Grimmjow can feel Ichigo's Hollow side just as much and it gives him fight-or-flight response when his teeth touch him. (He does punch him the first time, gets his hands pinned for this while poor Ichigo tries to figure why the fuck he almost broke his nose)

Ichigo had a very hard time understanding Grimm at first, the arrancar, smart as he may be, doesn't say much and doesn't care to elaborate on anything he says most of the time. It takes actual hollow behavior training on top of simply getting to know him to really get the gist of how he thinks.

Shinji is the third to learn about the budding relationship because of this. The first being nosy Urahara and Yoruichi.

🍓On relationship🫐

Ichigo ends up balancing both human and spirit life first to keep tabs on the safety of the seireitei and HM, but also to make sure Grimm's safety is assured (though he doesn't tell him this, out of his own safety lmao!)

Grimmjow comes and goes even after they get together-together, even if Ichigo wished he stayed... he understands Grimm gets restless staying too long in the human world. It's kinda like owning-not owning a feral cat. Sometimes Grimmjow even brings back stories of his kills with gruesome detail<3

Ichigo and Grimmjow slowly develop a more hollow-esque relationship the closer they get and the more they spend together,,, but it's still "tainted" by humanity lmao! There's a lot of non verbal communication (that's louder and more expressive when people aren't around bc Ichigo's still conscious about the feline-bird sounds) lots of careful violence and weird kinky-not-kinky things. Like marking each other, with wounds and scent and behaviour.

It's still much like wrestling a feral animal though, getting Grimmjow to receive more soft touch; specially new kinds of touch. But Ichigo's learned Grimmjow enjoys the pursue. 'If Ichigo wants it so much he can fight me for it' is his thinking. Ichigo's gotten good at trapping all his flailing limbs in a little cuddle ball, Grimmjow would be more impressed if he wasn't so mortified about how it becomes easier each time... and how he always leaves the embrace with a painfully fluttery feeling to his chest and purring against his will.

But Grimm too has his ways, although most he's not entirely aware make Ichigo so nervous (at least not at first, he learns eventually). Things he'd never consider to have an effect on him and usually come naturally like the rest of his instincts. The first time he attempted to groom Ichigo with his raspy resurrección tongue the shinigami squeaked and flailed under his weight, almost made a mess of himself from the feeling on his nape and ears alone. The claws and the teeth are another; Ichigo's a freak, don't let the goodie sad eyes say otherwise. Grimmjow hurting him gets him going and it's one of the things that Grimm likes the most about him.

Purring is another one of those things Grimmjow had to learn how to manage responsibly. Ichigo was so engrossed by it when it first happened around him he'd even considered to never do it ever again... but it does serve the purpose of settling Ichigo down when Grimm can't deal with his panicky antics, or when he can't stop whining in his sleep. When he wants the human to settle down and give up on his stubborn wishes... he's stubborn too, he'll play dirty if he needs to.

When they're not in the Human World, Ichigo often tries to let go just a bit more in HM. Grimmjow does all these human things for him, it's only fair... and tbh, he comes to enjoy it a lot. He's not yet sure he can consciously eat another Hollow like Grimmjow wishes he did... but he can fight a little messier without letting Shiro take over. And Grimmjow is so infatuated with the physical aspects of his Hollow it's very hard not to look forward to letting lose a bit. He used to be so terrified of it, sure it served no purpose unless he could harness it to save someone else, sacrifice for the grater good. Then Grimmjow taught him how to 'selfishly' and shamelessly enjoy being so strong. Resurrección and Hollowification at full only to race across the sand, play-fight so dangerously parts of the desert end up destroyed, and fuck loud and messy like animals<3

Grimmjow's actually good with kids, it comes as a surprise to everyone, but specially Ichigo, who'd given up on the idea of children when he and Grimm became official... after that, it's like the dam bursts and all he can ever do is wonder what it'd be like to raise children with him. Grimmjow's not amused by the breeder kink that that particular fantasy awakens on Ichigo afsdgfh but he's also not complaining.

After they do become parents (be it adoption or some other way,, varies depending on the AU but,, I do love Omegaverse bc I love pregnant Grimm uwu) it's all unexpected,,, in exactly the way you'd expect them to work. Grimmjow's all instinct and violence, and he's the most aggressively protective parent, growling and biting in a second at the first little cry or complaint. But also the one who's always thinking about strength and survival. He's the one always proud when his children are a bit violent, fight back and get away with what they want, but also the one who they listen to more when they overstep; Ichigo's a bit jealous, as much as he's learned, the instinctual understanding Grimmjow has with part-hollow children is unparalleled. Ichigo on his part,,, is the soft overly-worried parent. He's always been too protective, he's aware of his kids' strengths- but he's also aware they're just children and would rather they don't go through anything he did; he tries his best to give them human child experiences, even if it takes Grimm a while to understand them (he gives in as soon as he realizes they're enjoying themselves). He's also the level-headed parent, the 'don't use your strength to hurt others' parent, the 'use your words' parent... The keeps a camera around at all times to snap pictures parent, bc of course he became his Dad, much to his dismay.

As for fanfic, I haven't read much, or anything new for that matter, in a lil while but I do have quite a few I love, some I've reread a few times so ,,, these are just a few from my listt may share more when I have the energy to sit and write long posts again (I need to learn how to be more concise 😩)

Take two!

Favourite frames from the new B-Side chapter, featuring some analysis because I have coherent thoughts this time 'round :D

Beware, spoilers below for the B-Side as well as the manga

@veiled-bird that goes for you too, you're nowhere near meeting this guy yet

First up, I love this chapters art. It reminds me of when I was little and asking my dad to help my brother and I beat the last level of episode 3 in lego star wars tcs

Also the chapter title? I have so many thoughts, they'll be discussed more in depth further down but they will be discussed /pos

Numbers weapon 1 mention!! I'm very excited to (hopefully) get more lore about it. Although I am curious if it's like a contact lens or something, I thought it was closer to a surgical implant or maybe some weird side effect from using numbers weapon 1. Mostly because I don't think he's been drawn with normal eyes yet in the manga (at least from what I remember)

Either way very much hoping we get some more numbers weapon 1 lore in this :)

This whole scene but specifically "what good does a test proving I'm abnormal do" hits so hard, especially as someone diagnosed with ADHD in my late teens. Having that feeling of there's something wrong with me for so long and being brushed off every time because I didn't act like the stereotypical 10 year old boy with severe ADHD (a psychiatrist literally told me and my mum i probably had adhd but she wouldnt diagnose me,) I did start to kind of give up on ever figuring it out.

Narumi was incredibly relatable to me in the main manga (not because I'm a badass, I'm very lame lmao) because of the behaviours he exhibits, hyperfocusing on games, constant dopamine seeking (through videogames and online shopping,) needing to be fiddling with something to better process the information being given out, etc.

Narumi is also incredibly smart, its stated explicitly that he got top scores in the entrance exam and I can't imagine those tests are anywhere near easy. It gives neurodivergent kid being told they just need to apply themselves to do better in school/make friends/just function in a neurotypical way in general.

This also comes from his being kicked out of several orphanages, and then even after joining the defence force (especially after being told by Isao that they take anyone that can show skills and results) getting kicked out by the second division and every platoon in the first until he ends up under hasegawa. Considering the title too this is 100% supposed to read as the classic "troubled kid" (many of which are neurodivergent) that not many are willing to put effort into helping. Isao is giving him a way out of the life of having no home to go back to, only to be struck with the threat of getting kicked out once again a year later. Narumi is a very skilled and capable fighter and no one in their right mind would argue with that and it once again all comes down to being labelled as too difficult, hard to work with, never paying attention

This chapter just hits so close to home with me

Baby Mina!! I know there's a decent amount if it in the manga but it's still weird to see her with short hair. I love her so much

There are many more words of appreciation I have but all thought went into dissecting Narumi's character lol

And so being kicked around by hasegawa begins

I love his face here, top tier expression

And here we see Isao solidifying the thought of skill and results being all that matters, there's no way Isao was going to let Narumi get kicked out, especially not after showing aptitude for handling numbers weapon 1. I like to think at this point he does also care for Narumi, I think he sees a lot of Kikoru (or what she could be) in him and especially he sees himself in Narumi. And even though he's only ranked captain Isao would clearly fight to keep Narumi on the force (he probably already had to for Narumi to get transferred to the first division instead of just being dropped when he didn't mesh with the second)

This is also the beginning of Isao and Narumi's mentor/mentee relationship, Isao knows exactly how to handle Narumi and his child prodigy-ness and help him reach his potential as a defence force officer. I think that's part of why Isao shows little care for how Narumi handles himself when off duty, it may be that he knows he can't change Narumi in that way, it may be that he himself just doesn't care for all the professional decorum, either way Isao plays the very important role of being Narumi's main support while he's in the defence force (until Isao dies anyway, whoops.) Narumi needed a space where he could not only be himself but be accepted for it and have the trust of his peers and superiors that he would get the job done when he needs to, and whether it was on purpose or not Isao provided exactly that for him.

This also ties back into the earlier ramble about Narumi being the typical undiagnosed neurodivergent "troubled kid"

(Also the origin of what Narumi says to Kikoru ~9 years in the future :D)

Omg jaeger is canon? Kaiju no. 8 and pacific rim crossover when? /j

Another interesting tidbit about Narumi is his self confidence, he knows he's capable and isn't afraid to tell people that. He says playing support is annoying but what I see is someone that knows he can do better placed somewhere else and has decided to take that into his own hands. He won't get kicked out of the defense force but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets into a shit ton of trouble for taking Isao's words to heart and disregarding his orders, even though I do think he'll be an asset to the battle and perform better being closer to the front lines.

Poor hasegawa has his work cut out for him keeping Narumi in check (a captain and vice-captain match made in hell)

[swords-of-a-soilder]

My QSMP Headcannons vs in game Canon

Feel free to correct me if I get the Canon wrong.

•Tallulah uses hearing aids-this one is actually cannon but people tend to leave it out in art.

•philza uses a walking cane after purgatory- while Phil stated multiple times that the condition of his wings gave him poor balance, even though his wings are somewhat better I imagine the constant back and forth for someone who was never really good a balancing paired with the weight of his new wings probably make it very difficult to stay balance while walking.

•Fit, Tubbo lost limbs in purgatory- correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Tubbo didn't lose a lib in Canon, and I'm also not sure if the texture of Fit new skin is meant to be read as a prosthetic but I like the idea.

•Richardslyson has a prosthetic leg- this isn't excalty clear whether or not it's canon, we know his model in game has a leg that doesn't connected to his shell but it also important to note that Phil adjusted Richards statue to reflect a prosthetic leg, so you could technically consider it canon.

•Phil is demi-romantic- I know Phil never gave a clear sexual orientation to his in game character, but watching them interact with other love interest he gives the vibe of a demi-romantic person.

•Fit and Phil are divorced on really good terms- the kind were you realize your better as friends, which would also play a part in Phil discovering his is demi-romantic. Obviously in canon they was no clear past relationships established between them.

•Bolas actually does see Phil as a father figured- obviously Cellbit calmed he was joking when he called Phil dad, however Baghera still seems to call him that. I also really just want Cellbit to have a good father figure lmao.

•Rose is Phil's mother- I could go into detail of how the goddess of life birth the angle of death, but I equate it to her being his mother as God is your father but like she's his mother directly. She made him, she raised him, she'll protect him like her like depends on it.

In canon Rose just seems to be the Spawn entity but I like to imagine her as his Spawn entity. That would mean that she spawned him into existence in the hardcore world.

•the federation isn't evil, just misunderstood- I'm not saying they are good, just more morally grey. They do horrible experiment and treat the residents curly in our eyes, but in their eyes this is normal.

They do things thinking the residents don't know any better and therefore their complains are invalid, quite like a narcissist parent.

•the eggs can shape shift- I love the idea of the eggs taking on physical traits of the person (s) that they feel loved by slowly the more fond they become of them.

So the original Chayanne would stay an egg for the first two days then shock his parents by appearing as a little boy with blond hair.

When badly injured they go back to egg form.

•Charlie is in fact part slime and that's how he shape shifted into gegg- technically the qsmp info channel confirmed this in the qsmp full story videos

•Jaiden was a part of project blue bird- again not confirm, but I really like the idea that she was raised by Cucuchroo and that's why she naturally acts kinder to him (but she doesn't remember)

•the island has a respawn entity- following the concept of Rose aiding Phil's spawn, I like to imagine the whole island has a entity that revives players after death, and thus respawning in other demension ie the nether, takes much longer as that a different entity all together.

•the radiation of the blast from purgatory turned Foolish into a shark human hybrid, I mean technically canon since has the speed fins now.

•Forever has a survivor complex- this is up to interpretation of whether or not it's canon but I perceive Forever's behaviour as someone who feels he had to save everyone; He is the president after all.

•Forever likely still has feelings for Phil- or better yet the feelings have developed into genuine love as opposed to obsession, but from observing Missa learnt the best way to love Phil is to respect his wishes.

•Lovejoy is canon in the qsmp and is sponsored by the federation hence why Wilbur often leaves for tours. I'm actually not sure if this is canon or not, I recall Phil joking about it but I don't know if that's the Canon explanation as to how he's allowed to leave the island.

•Missa like Wilbur is sent on sponsored trips by the federation; in which he gather information on other islands, the resources of said island and whether or not their populated

•The codes are corrupted dead eggs- I'm mostly getting this theory from the codes disguising themselves as eggs and codaflipa, but I really like the idea that the codes are eggs that have died in the past with past residents and are restless.

A good backing for this is how Sofia found the eggs to be non organic, which makes me think that in a way they are computer programming, an sentient artificial life.

That does however bring the lore question of how their ghost can return, I think codes are a store of ghost form for them, with the code of their existence being shattered after a while they degraded to code monsters.

This would explain why they kill eggs (they want more company) and how they're able to disguised as them. Codaflipa can only return a few times because it's difficult to keep that form with shattered codes.

Now it is hinted at that the eggs are artificial, Sofia and the details of A1 being hints at that, but there is no Canon confirmation of such to my knowledge

I also know that Etoiles seem to believe the code killed eggs because they were being controlled by the federation, but I don't believe that seeing as the federation went out of their way to get the eggs back.

[nintendont2502]

thinking about davesprite. i blame you /lh but anyways. any hcs about him that you have Not been able to post because they just. weren't ever topical.

so many. so so so fucking many. i try to keep sdd relatively close to canon characterisation wise but,,,,, fuck i have ideas

this ones just a straight up headcanon thats barely tied to canon but gender apathetic/agender any pronouns davesprite,, big fan of this one in combination with t4t pepsisprite (dsprite is junes birdfriend)

this could be a whole rant to itself but i have. so many thoughts on davesprites relationship with bro and how fucked up it is. to make what could be a whole ass essay short and to just focus on one tiny fucked up aspect of it,,, davesprite associating pain and injury with his brother but in a 'positive' way, because him being hurt has always been associated with 'positive' memories of bro for him (bro training him 'because he cares', bro helping him stitch himself up after a particularly bad strife when he was too young to do it himself, getting his literal wing torn off while bro died protecting him,,, man).

semi related to above but he does exhibit some bird behaviours even if he refuses to admit it - the big one is pulling out his feathers when hes stressed (again, vaguely related to above - davesprite getting stressed about bro and pulling out too many feathers, and that pain simultaneously making things worse *and* calming him down)

my headcanons for a post game dsprite where he somehow makes it to the creation of the universe are either 'he makes it through and gets given a real body and the ability to age :))' or. well. hes a game construct right. hes just. hes an npc. hes meant to be part of the game. ...what if it doesnt let him leave. what if going through the door completely wipes his data and hes just. gone. what if hes forced to choose between being stuck in the session alone forever or disappearing from existence permanently. (this was actually the basis of a fic idea lmao)

as much as i love davesprite dream bubble content.... i dont think hed make it into the bubbles. hes not a person, right. fuck if the *guardians* dont make it then what chance does he have

i dont think he sleeps much.

[slaps davesprite] this sad boy can fit so many identity crises into him

how does he know hes himself. like. how does he know hes not just code programmed to think hes dave and act like dave. sure hes clinging to that old identity that he isnt allowed to have anymore, but what if that was never him? who is he, then?

jesus christ these got depressing

bird mating rituals,, he gives john cool rocks and shiny things and gets really flustered about it because 'holy shit im being so obvious' and johns just like 'haha cool! :B'

he gives davesprite like. a shiny bit of plastic one day as a joke and davesprite gets way too happy about it.

dave and davesprite brothers is so fucking real. to me.

less a headcanon, more a thought i cant get out of my head. davesprite literally keeping his sword in his chest is. fuck man. thats something. the only way he can use it is by taking it out which has gotta fucking hurt,,,, violence and fighting hurting himself just as much as it hurts everyone else

i like drawing post battleship dsprite with the missing wing and stomach hole still because im gonna be so real i dont think sburb would heal that. who cares right. it isnt threatening him at all - sure it hurts a lil but he could get used to it, and it isnt impacting his role, and like. hes just a sprite. who cares

^^ and if it *can* be healed, i still dont think it would by then. look man im just a sucker for emotional and mental healing being represented physically,,, the only time they heal is when he finally gives himself a break and lets himself rest and lower his guard and heal emotionally

again this isnt really a headcanon it just haunts me. davesprite is/was a knight of time right. both serving (and sacrificing for) time and using time as a weapon. thinking about how weapons can both protect and injure, or even kill. thinking about how davesprite probably feels responsible for all those deaths in the doomed timeline. thinking about how he essentially killed himself by travelling back. thinking about how he did it to protect.

...davesprite thinking about what would happen if dave died permanently. hed never do anything. hed never let that happen. but... the timeline needs a dave, right. and davesprite would still be there. hed never do anything to make it happen. but what if that was his chance.

i love the idea that dsprite acts more like dirk and hal acts more like dave (mirroring their text colours). i just think its fun

yall ever think about how the shades john gave dave were so important that when he was literally recreated, the universe still gave them to him? he wasnt wearing then when he was prototyped. because i do. i think about it all the time.

new pesterchum handle. turnedtechGodhead is the only one ive thought of atm but im gonna make more i stg (vaguely related: hals pesterchum is turingTested. that is all)

i swear to god theres more rattling around in there but i cant reach it and this is logn enough so :thumbsup:

[savepc2023]

WHO GOT YOINKED BY BIRB BOY. WHOM WAS IT??? How is their relationship with the Great Hawk? 😃😃😃😃

It was ........Angel lmao💀😭😭😭 i was playing around with their save file and studying the writing in dol for a future post i wanted to make and then i was like. Fuck it we go ball and then i went and got them a husband💀😭😭

Not sure if if i want this to be a strictly game thing or like incorporate it into her story but like. ...let's say they do get kidnapped by the great hawk...

Angel(they/he/she)

It's uh ......awkward tbh💀💀💀 Angel is fully prepared to pluck some feathers when Great Hawk sets them down but then he's like. "Hey man this is ur home now, I'll go get some food for you. Also ur my spouse now lmaoooo" and they just (._.)

Because this surely did trigger smth within them (thanks to Kylar babe😍😵😘), and they had pure rage in her eyes for like the first few minutes before they were confused by GH's behaviour🚹

Bc as much as he wants to wring his neck and choke him to death for kidnapping her, they also have a tendency to like. Really really judge someone before throwing hands. Doesn't want to feel guilty after yk.

So after GH goes out to fetch food, Angel's scouring the place for stuff to defend themself with. And then GH comes back and just treats them with utmost respect and kindness and angel's just "huh."

So yeah. They spend their time with him, gently explaining that she is NOT his wife or husband no thank you, i have partners already. They were pretty much on board with skipping school and not having to deal with Bailey but they really quickly realised that they miss their friends and partners so they just start pleading GH to let her go🚹🚹

"bro please please i swear dude i won't forget about you like. I'll love you forever man please bro I'll BUILD A SHRINE FOR YOU DUDE PLEASE"

Uh. Yes. They occasionally do visit Great Hawk but they're definitely not overnight stays. Some part of them wants to introduce him to Robin and Sydney but she's also afraid they'll start preferring the bird man over them so they just. Don't🚹

They do tell about him to the others though, considering they've been away for so long and all.

While living with him they only take baths while he's away for food, no one gets to see the goods honey

They scolded GH the first time he got them a lurker and almost cried when they saw how disappointed he got🚹🚹🚹 He got them one the second time too...Angel was so hungry by the time he went out again that they werent as against eating a lurker but nah he just pop in with regular human food so that's good 👍

All in all it's more of a comedy than anything😩😭

[valleynix]

I'm up to date 🥰 chapter 24 ✅️

1. 《Everything had been so… calm.》 That's dangerous

2. Pain💔😔 But well I'm biased. Miranda’s behaviour is a bit confusing tho, with how she almost killed them and then was nice and then put them in the Megamycete (tho she says it was to keep them safe. But well, not sane). She's a bit lost but like, she tried to be nice 😭 maybe there's still a chance 😔✋🏻

3. I LOVE THEM PLEASE

They're so silly and sweet. It's so nice to have Lunatic watch over Reader now 🥺

4. Miranda’s literally Reader's (evil) fairy godmother, watching them their whole childhood to ensure they'll grow up so she can experiment on them 😭

Now can she follow Maleficent and love them and save them please

5. Miranda I'll hold your hand while I tell you this, it won't work

6. The conflicting feelings are so real. Like sometimes as we learn more the situation turns out to be so far more complicated and complex

7. AAAAAAAAAAAA I always love those hugs in tptm

Also the moment when Dani joined and hugged them both and poor Cass was trapped 😭❤️

8. SOBBING this is so beautiful and that "I want you to live for me" hits hard

9. 《"Good." She sniffles a little as she glares at you. "Because I will find you in the afterlife and I will bring you back just to kill you again."》

I love this woman <3

10.

11. 《She’s so awkward that it’s almost sickening. How can someone like her be so bad at flirting?》

I love my loser, awkward Cassandra. My fav Cassandra out there.

12. It'd be wonderful news if it was their head bc even Red themselves could easily cut their own finger to do that just so they were thinking they're dead

But if it was this 《If Miranda had done it, was her leaving a finger her way of a truce? Hm. Maybe-》 then yay cool. Miranda out there leaving snacks and fingers of Reader’s enemies and like "are we good yet, little bird?"

13. Nice to have some peace after all the horrors of the previous chapters. At least it's balanced 😭 It was all so sweet. The Dimis being happy Reader’s back and Lunny being there.

The peace will end soon, probably, it can never last too long. So I'm awaiting the continuation and the horrors. It's good to be back at reading and it's good you keep writing it 🫶🏻 It's not a light story but tptm always brightens up my mood and the plot is so cool. It deserves to be the top re8 fic fr

SO EXCITED TO READ THIS. i’ve had a shit day and this just made it sm better ❤️

1. calm is never a good thing 😭

2. she’s trying </3 we have to remember that she’s very unsure of what to do and where to go from here. she’s been snapped out of that “trance” she’s been in for YEARS and is seeing the errors of her ways. not that she’ll ever apologize, but she’s trying.

3. THE SIBLINGS EVER. my favorite duo

4. yeah… she is a little fucked up 💀 but! at least that meant she could recognize when she was going too far… haha… ha…

5. Miranda, poor woman… listen to reason 😭

6. it’s hard knowing that someone is horrible and has done bad things to you, but then they start acting kinder?? and it’s genuine? and then you’re like… okay maybe i was wrong…? it’s very confusing and conflicting but it’s how a lot of people feel when faced with similar situations

7. MY FAVORITE HUGS. being in that group hug would fr cure me of all illnesses.

8. i was so afraid this scene wouldn’t make sense :’) because Cassandra is not a super emotional person and for her to cry?? she was so upset but i wanted her to be mad that she was showing how vulnerable she was 😭

9. romance at its finest

10. HER!!!

11. she’s such a dork and we love her for it LMAO

12. 🌝🌝

13. it actually won’t be TOO bad for a hot minute… the next chapter deals with some stuff and plot but it’s also got funny and soft moments. the heartbreak will come much later with- no, i shan’t say…

thank you so much for allowing me a peek into your mind as you read. it genuinely makes me so happy to see your favorite moments or ones that stuck out to you ❤️

[crystalsamethyst]

Sunday dnd! Dnd on Sunday! It's fricken hot but we got cold treats and determination!

We're looking at the sending stone, wondering who might be on the other end.

Wizard: Can I inspect it for some sort of marking?

DM: ???

Wizard: Like, caller ID?

Lmao. There were at least psionic vibes on it.

---

Took a long rest and we noticed a couple more choker creatures. My druid stared at them threateningly all night, every time they looked back she or her cat were like "just fuckin try it >:3"

We're kind of suspecting there are more psionic goblins out there even though the necromancy magic in the air is gone, so the poor magpie familiar is sent out to scout again. I hope he doesn't get shot down again.

Alright. We are getting the bardlock to use the sending stone, wizard is using minor illusion to try to transform their voice.

Bardlock: Adventurers have compromised my plans. Tell me where to meet so we can discuss the future.

Creepy voice ringing in our fucking brains: That explains the undead's movements.

Fuck. There are undead to the east and the familiar saw goblins running that way, what the hell is happening in the east?

Well, either way, we're returning to Elf City. I'mma teach someone how to make potions and break the monopoly on the craft by this one fuckin dude that hiked up the prices insane amounts. Fuck you, capitalism.

Holy shit, I taught the shopkeeper well but our bardlock tried and failed to steal a scroll behind our backs and got kicked out of the shop.

My druid got given the cards to give to the wizard whenever she feels like it. Druid told her it would be once they leave the city - no more sticky finger shenanigans while we're here lmao.

Ava misses the yuan-ti ranger a lot. The other parent friend. It's like being a single mom now trying her best.

We got brought to the city council for reasons I can't quite remember. It's a bunch of high elves and one looks angry, one looks disgusted, and one looks amused.

Curious and a little afraid.

Oh we're straight up having a rp battle of passions against this council.

Oooooo one of the council members is communicating with us telepathically, the amused one. She seems hopeful for some reason at the fact our wizard doesn't like high elves (she's half high-elf with a bad history with them).

Aw Arathorn got scolded by who we're guessing is his councilman father and is staying put.

Oh my fucking god that asshat mamma's boy guard is 'guiding' us to leave, and by 'guiding' I mean he summoned a bunch of other elves to surround us. If I didn't want the village to burn, I wouldn't let him get away with his behaviour.

Wizard is making an illusion of a bunch of birds dive bombing him lmao thank you girl! Get fucked, asshat!

[paravosnico]

8.3 Emotional

Wahhhhh lmao.

Don't understand myself sometimes.

I went into things with casual and flirty intentions, mostly 'cause I'm attracted to his body lol. And there's something quite intimate about him being my private instructor.. just intimate moments in class.

While those were my intentions, fun and flirty, I did catch myself feeling things when our eyes met, or when he bought me boba. Like that feeling you get when you like someone in high school, and you don't know them very well and it's a secret and you're wondering if they like you back.

There was a point (for about 5 days) when we texted every day, and the texts got sweeter and sweeter. Certain things he wrote made me feel tingly.. in my heart and down there ahahaha.

We went on date yesterday and it was kind of an emotional roller coaster for me. At first, I thought he was gonna tell me he has strong feelings for me / maybe ask me to be his girlfriend, which sorta freaked me out.

At the end of the date we had to part ways early, although he was going to find me when he finished dealing with his emergency, but I took a nap lol and he thought I was angry 'cause I wasn't responding to his texts.

I wasn't angry, just kind of annoyed. And unsure of what to do because our whole "relationship" so far has been mainly via WeChat, and I'd rather spend time with him in person. So I was conflicted, debating whether or not I wanted to continue, especially since I feel like I didn't get what I needed to from our date (clarity on certain things)..and continuing to text him every day feels like a huge commitment on my end because I usually don't text so often- I'd rather see him in person.

Anyways, he asked to meet and when we did, he immediately apologized, saying he reflected on his behaviour and what he did that could've made me angry/upset, and apologized full-heartedly. Said he couldn't live with himself knowing that he made me feel bad. In english it sounds dramatic, but in Chinese, it's very sincere. It was a really sincere expression of love and affection- that's how it felt, at least. It made me understand him better, and like him more, honestly. It was what I was looking for on our date.

We talked about a couple other things though, somewhat bittersweet (like my leaving China and him not having much free time right now). Anyways, we parted with him saying he feels happy when he's with me, but also there's not much he can do about freeing up time right now. And I told him I'm not the biggest fan of texting / it doesn't make sense to text so much if I don't get to spend much time with him in person. He also shared a poem that went something along the lines of

"Mountain birds and fish are not the same, their paths will never cross again".

Reading that again, last night and today, made me cry.

I literally bawled so hard last night and today. Felt really emotional. I'm not quite sure why though, or what about.. like I said, my feelings for him aren't that deep. I figured I was just feeling really touched by his apology? Like honestly, it hit deep... Or maybe sad because I finally saw his heart at the end/connected with him but he's busy and I'm leaving in a month so there's no real possibility of developing or deepening anything and it was mutually understood..and man, that poem just hit.

Anyways, crying it out really helped.

I'll see him again on Monday, anyways. I think I should spend this time figuring out what I want now. Do I still want the D? And just that? Or should I just accept how we left things and move on...

[lilacswraith]

Thank you so much for the reply!

So, to answer your question Im gonna have to add a bit of context, apologies for the info dump: falconry is a huge part of arabian heritage, specifically in the gulf region, in its early days it was nomadic people hunting with passage birds for the season and these falcons were seen as extensions of the family, almost sacred animals who reflected the owners own strength and brought good fortune with a successful season. If you had a strong, well trained falcon, you also had respect. While the way falconry is practiced has changed, the sentiment is much the same, birds of prey are treated with a lot of reverence. I met a sheikh who had a separate house for his falcons thats bigger than most apartments, complete with aircon and plumbing! Its kind of insane

The problem that arose is that one of the main prey items for falcons was the houbra bustard, an animal that became incredibly endangered. Due to this, along with other issues from an animal conservation stand point, hunting with birds of prey in most places became illegal except for those on private land with permits and strict restrictions on prey. The result is that most people simply don’t hunt (at least not locally, hunting trips go abroad). Still, falcons and birds of prey in general remain a vital part of heritage so other ways to practice the sport developed, mainly the infamous falcon races but there are many bird shows, educational institutions, abatement practices (mostly with hawks), desert safaris, hunting simulations (using drones and remotes controlled planes in the desert), etc. It’s also passed down through families, the first time I held a bird I was 7. And at the end of the day there’s simply the prestige of having a well kept raptor. Mostly the owls fly in shows and on safaris, or are just flown as a hobby. Its also worth adding that there are a LOT of pharaoh eagle owls just milling around so maybe a part of it was just we might as well try? Don’t quote me on that though! The birds are all very well taken care of and are quite fit even if they don’t hunt, (most of the time, there’s always assholes who neglect their animals) because anything less is disrespectful to the sport and culture

(Btw disclaimer that this only applies to the UAE, I don’t have as much knowledge about hunting regulations in other arab countries)

Its definitely reassuring to hear there are ethical ways to keep owls and that its not just fundamentally bad! I like to think the way my falconry center practices is okay but I’ll definitely bring it up so we can scrutinise our methods lmao, the owls are comfortable and healthy so at the very least I count that a win. Also yeah, at the moment, I work quite closely with 2 desert eagle owls, and I’ve noticed the difference in their behaviour depending on age. One is an owlet that we got a few weeks ago and she’s the cuddliest thing! She always burrows under you and wants to get on the couch and in blankets so we’ve been keeping her with people 24/7 rather than leaving her alone overnight, (we do that with most of the imprint chicks but I didn’t know that owls *needed* maternal interaction like humans, that’s interesting.) The older owl (I think he’s like 2 years old?) on the other hand is probably the most independent imprint I’ve ever met, he’s the one who hates the glove but we’re not the ones who did the initial training so there might’ve been something that triggered that. He may not like us but I love him to pieces!

I don’t have my own owl nor do I plan on getting one soon because I don’t have the space to free muse, but good to keep in mind that they can hunt for later! That’d definitely be fun to learn. Thank you again for the insightfulness, I really appreciate it!

Hi! Sorry if this question has been asked before, but are you completely against keeping owls as falconry birds?

I practice Arabic falconry and while we don’t hunt with our owls, they’re still taught to come to the glove / fly perch to perch depending on the trainers preference and birds responsiveness, some owls are just uncomfortable on the glove so we avoid it. But yes they are often used in the sport

I’ve been reading your owl behaviour posts (which are super interesting btw) and it’s been making me reflect on the owls I’ve personally worked with so I was wondering what your opinion is with keeping them? While we have a lot of distinctions in how we train and house falcons, hawks, eagles and buteos compared to the owls, I can definitely see how behavioural cues get mixed up and how that can hurt them so I’m glad I can be more conscious of it now

(side note: the owls are almost always captive bred and imprinted / créche reared and most “hot-weather” owls are diurnal or crepuscular species (ie, desert eagle owl) so I’m not sure if everything you say when talking about non-imprints and nocturnal owls applies)

I don’t have an objection to falconers or education centers using owls, only an objection to it being done improperly.

I actually had no idea owls were used in Arab falconry at all, if you don’t hunt with them what do you use them for? You’ve got me curious now!

Generally speaking yes an owl can be ethically flown if imprinted correctly and given the freedom to say “no” to being out on the glove if it’s uncomfortable with it. For what it’s worth if you have the patience you can actually hunt with them, it’s just a lot more work than it’s worth for most people.

But yes, it can be ethically done as long as the owl’s space is respected and it’s allowed generous time to itself in the mews. Most imprint falcons can be quite pleased to ride the glove all day and hang out perched in your bedroom, but owls really do like their alone time as adults. Owlets on the other hand need frequent interaction with people to feel safest. Sitting on the ground and allowing the owlets to cuddle up against and under you as they would if they were in the nest with their mother builds their confidence that they can rely on you to keep them safe. That’s crucial in the field, in raising imprints in general the role of that sort of contact cannot be understated. Though they are very different from humans, they still suffer from lack of maternal contact as babies just as we do.

As far as flying owls goes, the biggest thing is to be careful with weight management. I’m not sure about diurnal owls, but nocturnal owls are less confident in being out and about in the open and may be more reluctant to fly. An easy pitfall some falconers fall into is lowering the weight too much and more or less starving the poor bird. I haven’t had the pleasure of working with many diurnal owl species though, so I can’t tell you too much there. Just that they seem easier to get hunting if you choose than a nocturnal owl tends to be.

Sorry to be such a downer, but I've been thinking. How it really hurts that the things I (and probably lots of other autists) get shit for even from the most "call me out on my bigotry I wanna do better u_u" neurotypicals, things that are considered "weird", "annoying" or for some unhinged reason even "creepy"?????? Are like 89%. Things I do when I'm *comfortable*. As opposed to absolutely miserable.

Chatty, excitable, giving genuine compliments (??? people hate that ???), talking about "worthless" niche topics that are mostly interesting facts ABOUT THE WORLD WE LIVE IN SO WHY DON'T *YOU* CARE HUH, my very laughter???????

I guess "polite" society has "learned" to identify "oh this is one of those [r word] errrrrr special vaguely humanoid creatures with very unusual needs having a HARD TIME and they can't help it uwu so we should gently look away" behaviours and GRACEFULLY shows maybe pity instead of murderous revulsion. Most times.

But if you're a happy autist being comfortable and idk "talk too much" OR GOD FORBID HAPPY STIM EVEN WITH JUST YOUR HANDS, that's when it comes back out how they just RESENT your very existence. It's not stigmatized in uwu "polite" society to absolutely abhor someone laughing "wrong" (???) or "caring about Weird topics too much" or moving "wrong" or standing "wrong" or intoning "wrong" or...

... sigh.

I'm just done. Yeah, yeah, my view is clouded by my own bias, blah blah, Not All Neurotypicals, I KNOW THAT.

But I feel like the only way to get anywhere in life is to actively remind myself to be uncomfortable, because the neurotypical majority is MERCIFULLY willing to largely overlook a poor poor uncomfortable autist around here / be satisfied with "only" calling us a few slurs. But they hate hate HATE a comfortable, happy autist just vibing, because we're happy "wrong" and also they're ableist assholes.

... I don't know. I'd personally say the most awful thing you can say to a person is that their laughter is "weird" and "annoying", but I guess that's just me thinking "wrong" again.

Meh.

Can I request Vil with a player who went from hating him (like, least favorite character, groans every time he comes on screen kind of hate) to loving him (like, absolute favorite character, cheers every time he comes on screen kind of love) in a day.

This happened to me after reading chapter 5 and 6 which is where I got the idea lmao. I was so wrong abt him,,,

Self-aware au

I do not take any responsibility for you reading this no matter which age group you are from!

WARNINGS: Yandere themes, obsessive behavior, unhealthy mindset, eating problems, poison, possessive behaviour

Changing favor

When you didn't like him things were horrible for him

His obsession with becoming perfect started to take on even more unhealthy habits

My man, eat more!

Epel is best man in this situation

He knows how to make Vil survive

AND he does that even if he disagrees with the model a lot

He can't disappointing the overseer with showing that he doesn't care about a situation like this so... yeah

And the, a light on the horizon!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's your affection!

The second after you said that for the first time something somehow positive you can see Vil blooming like a flower that hadn't watered for a while and now finally gets water

During the “in between” phase he is the most nervous

What if your relationship returns to be a cold one?

So he tries very hard only this time it's actually healthy

He eats properly, does sports within a healthy amount and his headspace is also a much sunnier place

And then, the day arrives

Vil is standing on your homescreen, his legs already hurting from standing so long but he doesn't mind because it's you

Just being able to bask in your perfection is way more than he could have dreamt of not so long ago

And there you are, your voice forming words, the sound of it music in his ears...

Wait a second...

Did you just scream that he is attractive and many more compliments?

Nah, he must have misheard

Did someone put something weird in his drink this morning?

Rook was kinda sus...

But no! You are actually complimenting him!

You have the same energy as he has when he is simping for you... just one percent of though

Did I mention that he is whipped for you?

Hello social media, again!

His “mysterious silence” has finally ended!

When he said in a interview that he was “enlightened” by the Overseer he can see Neige fuming with jealousy in the background

It's as if the Fairest queen and Snow White suddenly swapped their plot

Vil is literally competing with the sun

Just don't return to that cold, disliking self

He is dependant on you

Who knows what he might do to the person you would like in his stead?

He is good with poisons... *cough*
