⋆.˚ ★—University AU!Anaxa x Reader
Content: a collection of modern au headcanons for Anaxa, some voicelines at the end, sfw, GN reader, yapping Words: 737
Masterlist ✦ Rules ✦ Ko-Fi
-Anaxa is a biochemistry major, he's simultaneously going to two universities actually. First one, his major, is in the morning hours while the second on is in the evening hours and the schedule for that one is much more relaxed. It's a miracle how well his schedules worked out. But that being said, catching Anaxa alone and while he is not busy is a rare event. He comes home and it is straight to his business again, studying, researching and reading some more like the nerd he is. Staying busy is what keeps him calm, which some find mind boggling
-He isn't a morning person even if his uni has always started early, he never got used to it. He hates waking up so early and downs coffee down like it is water. He's not proud of it but he makes shit tasting coffee because he's simply not in the mood to spend too much time thinking about it so early...so if you happen to wake up around the same time as him or earlier and make him coffee?? Immediate brownie points that he saves up for later, but he also gives you a big kiss before he departs for class
-Anaxa never misses a class he's interested in, and in general he is the type of person to always be there. Class starts at 6:00 am? He’s there before anyone else, somehow. There are one or two classes that he dreads to go to since he deems them worthless and not up to par with the modern advancement in technology and biology, but they're necessary so he drags himself to those too- although...you have a good chance of talking him into going to get a meal or a drink with you instead of going to those classes. This guy is just looking for an excuse and god knows he could use a good meal
-Anaxa has a reputation for debating professors or simply talking to them the entire duration of the class, which is both good and bad. It is something that landed him on the uni's debate team. He is quite snappy but it is hard to refute his arguments...
-Has a pet bird that his sister gifted him and he loves that little bird lots. Named her something stupid though but endearing like Ribbit or something
-Anaxa doesn't let anyone inside his office room in his home, not that he really has anyone over nearly as much, but still. It stands that the office room is his room, his space, and no one else's. It did take a while for him to get warmed up to you but once he did he began inviting you inside, and slowly you began to just hangout in his office without him asking and he was 100% fine with it. He loves your company, even if you may not be engaged in an active conversation or interaction in general
-It goes without saying that Anaxa only indulges in physical touch with you, cuddling with you with a good book in hand or simply closing his eyes while listening to your heartbeat while he dozes off for a little while
-He doesn't dress that fancy around you, which is a sign of comfort. He doesn't like when anyone else sees him "underdressed". But you see him in the most absurdly casual clothes around the house. I'm talking stuff like pink slippers + shorts + beanie hat + sweatshirt. Does the fit make sense? It does to him. It's comfy to him. Don't question the genius
⋆.˚ ★—Voice lines
-"Beloved...why have you gotten out of bed so early? Hm? Mhm..." (He then gets up to spend the morning with you before you leave, regardless if he needs to be anywhere that early himself)
-"Such a matter could not have been in your control. Do not bash yourself over it, it is useless. What you should look forward to is this opportunity.. No, no, it is quite expected to feel lost. But remember, I'm here"
-"Come here... What? Yes, I'm calling you in for a hug. Don't make it a waste"
-"Here.. I've made us some tea. This blend will help your body relax. And while the tea takes its effect on your physical body, you and I can work on unraveling these knots and twists your mind has been pulled into"
-"No rush. This sort of thing takes time, breathe.."

Was there a particular event in Bonbon's life that caused her shift in personality from happy Minibon to current adult Bon?
(For the lazy readers) Yes. As much as I say it was a gradual change, I can divide it up into 4 major events and from those events, the 3rd one is (imo) the most impactful one on her personality shift. Tdlr, in 7th grade she ends up changing classes and ends up with no friends and with falling grades, that spills into disaster. Warning, Big lore dump bellow:
(Now the yapping answer for Edu, since you are the only one reading all of it. If you aren't Edu and read all of this, please say something I will give u a cookie). To talk about it, I need to give some context about the previous stages. Her life doesn't happen in a vacuum, so the events that came beforehand, already changed shaped in ways that matter (and we have to be on the same page here).
I want to say, this is all a bit WIP, I don't have good names for the events despite having somewhat clear timelines, it goes: Birthday Party, School change, 7th grade, and graduation.
Birthday Party
This takes place when Bonbon is very young (the bon on the left in the drawing). It is also what I was drawing on that unfinished comic 💔. I still plan to BUT, I have been thinking, and I will probably draw some simpler episodes before that comic. Anyhow, the consequences of that party is in a way where it all began. Like I did put in the sheet, Mini Bon is a very energetic cute bunny, and in almost natural way she tried talking with the entire class and considered everyone, even some outside of it, as friends. That all stops after the party. Kinda like a harsh dose of reality is injected all at once on her special day. Her trust with everyone, including her closest friends, suffers greatly and she gets hugely upset. From the this point forward, she kinda pulls back from interacting with most of them. She becomes more cautious, more insecure and far less extroverted. And welp, from the pov of an outsider you would look at her after a few weeks the effects might seem "subtle", but they linger on for the next years and have an impact, even if she doesn't realize it or thinks about it. (This event is probably the one I need to work out more, so if it feels a bit empty thats why)
School change
it's fairly obvious how impactful this one can be. Bon unlike her former classmates, ends up changing to a school in a different on village. It's scary, new environment, new schedules and routines, lots of new people, teachers and expectations. Bon doesn't handle it well. For example, the new schedule means she has to wake up way earlier while arriving home later. While this isn't that bad, it does mean she is more tired and has less free time to have fun. While the new routine it's a bit brutal for her initially, she struggles a lot. Getting the wrong bus, leaving the wrong bus stop, missing the bus, and many other things she screws up that I won't dive rn (future comic episodes perhaps) Trying to make new friends is not easy either. All classmates already know each other and have their friends group formed. It leaves her into this situation when the bell rings, she is left awkwardly alone. Bon becomes more anxious, shy and bit more withdrawn.
It's not all bad luck, Bon gets "adopted" by Cinnamon (who's design I haven't shown yet) and they become such good friends they turn into besties. At this moment you see the previous event affect how she behaves, no longer being the extrovert, she was and being far more cautious with who she chooses to be friends, she ends up focusing on just this one friendship. Quality>quantity way. This for real helps her survive the next 2 years in that school. Sounds good eh? Still, the silly nerd mini bon you see me post around, only exists to those who are closest to her (Cinnamon). Rest of the class knows nothing about her, to them she is just a quiet ghost during class and outside nobody. They don't really care either. Neither does bon, she already has what she wanted.
7th Grade
Ah the breaking point! (middle bon in the drawing) After 2 years, due to the school system works and the subjects she picked, she gets shuffled to a total different class. Cinnamon, despite still being in the same school, stops passing most time with Bon. Not only their calendars don't match up, them having no means of contact outside of school, and having classes in different blocks of school meant they really only saw each other a few times a week. Cinnamon meanwhile just made new cool friends, ending up passing time with them instead. (dw bon, at least you had to be replaced by like 5 people) Bonbon on the other hand fails to connect with any new people (partly a lot due to the 2 previous phases). it's not for a lack of trying mind you, she really doesn't connect with anyone the same way she did with the fox, she got extremely unlucky.
Another factor into play, 7th grade is when school gets more serious. Bon is a intelligent person, but that actually backfired on her. She never felt the need to study or work outside of school. What she learned in class was usually enough for her to get average-good grades. But from this point onward you had to study and practice. But when you pass most of your life without studying, you don't learn or get the motivation to do it from one day to the other. Nor do you make it a habit. (hint: she starts falling) To make it worse, school calendar just got brutal, she could be waking up at like 7:00 and arriving home at 19:40. Aside from being extremely boring, it sucks the energy out of you. You arrive home and the last thing you want to see is a freaking textbook. You just want to relax and have fun for once, so you you game a little too much.
I want to put yourself in her boots. You have basically no friends, your grades in school plummet, no matter how hard you try. At the same time you arrive home constantly tired and drained, also you are a teen, puberty is a thing and it does affect your behavior. How would you feel? Welp, for this poor teen bunny girl, saying she got very upset is to put it lightly. It nukes her self-esteem, everything just starts feeling hopeless to her. Small things change, thinking of a pretty outfit becomes an annoying chore, and no one would care either way, so you skip that for the extra minutes of sleep. Quickly, trying to talk with people at school takes too much energy and feels like a waste. You become grumpy, closed of and rude sometimes. Hard to find reasons to smile when life sucks am right? I could go on but you probably get how this is the most significant "major point" bc she gets very similar to how Bonbon is later in life. It's basically the middle ground between the 2 phases, you can still make her smile, she still would appreciate if you talked to her. Her eyes will light up if you bring a topic she likes. This phase lasts for around 2 years, think of it as a big storm. (in the drawing this is Bonbon on the right) Afterwards she manages to enter contact with Cinnamon outside of school and they reconnect again. Her grades are no longer going in into hell, heck some improve. Later on she gets lucky and even lands in the same class of Cinnamon again. Life starts to look up til-
Graduation, it is the final one, which I will leave for another day or ask. The final piece for how she becomes nowadays Bonbon.
I hope you enjoyed reading this very WIP, cringe, badly written lore dump. Hopefully it gives y'all a clearer picture of what I'm aiming for tho, and that I in fact do have in mind a clear story and episodes layed out for Bonbon. (Granted i have to write them and draw them). Of course I didn't go into much detail, I mainly explained the consequences of each phase. I didn't go through the episodes of those phases, since many of these "events", (or the correct word would be "phases") last a few years and are a lot of episodes together. Welp thank you<33.

I went to a book fair and passed some girls. One of them told her friends something like that she had watched an anime where you don't have to like football to like an anime about football.
I stopped and asked "Blue Lock"?
She confirmed.
And I walked away.
Why am I like this?

#seriously I saw so many people with anime pins and I was blocked from complimenting them#why??#sometimes I manage to say something to a person who has something from a series I like#but today I only spoke once#and this was at such a big event for nerds!!#greetings to everyone who was at the international book fair in krakow and had anime pins but I couldn't compliment them#(but apart from that it was great I love events ike this)#personal rant#introvert life#blue lock#bllk

some stuff that made me happy reading this event lol
this other temple was putting on a parade for nagoya and asked for kuukou’s help putting it on bc none of the direct lineage wanted to
kuukou called out it’s bc it’s too teemed in tradition to garner interest in the youth and vowed to rework the entire concession lol
so kuukou’s tengu costume is kuukou’s design sense 😌😌😌
upon accepting the role as tengu, kuukou proceeded to basically larp around nagoya as a tengu, even outside of wearing the outfit lmao
like tengu are usually known to defeat demons and the antagonists in this event wore demon masks so kuukou tended to say that bc he’s a tengu, he’s gotta rid the town of demons LOL
doppo got his briefcase stolen by the group of demon masked delinquents determined to ruin the parade and had one of his depressive episodes about it in front of kuukou, but since kuukou doesn’t really know doppo that well he hesitated whether or not he can just slap him out of it like he would have with say, jyushi in vkei mode lol
kuukou: *upon seeing doppo’s done with the self-flagellation* well welcome back to the mundane world after your little trip to the spirit world. you good now??
saburo is prickly no matter who he’s with outside of ichiro lol, but it was kinda fascinating to see him greet kuukou fairly neutrally lol
they eventually found the demon masked delinquents and kuukou threw a shop sign at them to stop them from running away. kuukou laughingly said it must’ve been fate that he was able to knock two birds with one stone and he’s the worst 💜💜💜
bc the delinquents were terrified of kuukou upon realising who attacked them, kuukou was able to tell not only that they were locals, but that the head of their little group was actually the son of the temple head who asked him to precede over the parade
said son had been excommunicated from the buddhist community, likely for his garbage behaviour, and his father expressed jealousy that shakku had such a dutiful son to inherit his temple
kuukou, in order to protect the parade, created the grand master plan of letting the parade run as he intended, but to create a spectacle out the tengu (him) ridding the town of demons (beating up the delinquent son LOL)
y’all do not understand the amount of glee kuukou had getting to chase down that delinquent for all of nagoya to see LMAO
samatoki had two roles in this event; to tease his fans that he wore a suit to a wedding but you don’t get to see it (arb🤝hypdream) and to choke the life out of the delinquent for rudely bumping into him 😌
sasara had two roles in this event; to take samatoki out (on a date) to this vintage clothing store he once covered on a show, and to give his condolences to the fool who bumped into the yakuza with no remorse 😌
before samatoki could kill do further damage to the delinquent lol, kuukou swooped in, chiding samatoki for nearly swiping his prey and threw his sandal at the delinquent, knocking him out instantly lmao
samatoki: fcking btch, getting knocked out by a clog 😒
and so the scene the citizens of nagoya walked in on was the delinquent laid out bleeding (it was paint lmao) surrounded by the tengu and these two other guys and normally that would be cause of concern lmao but it a good thing saburo and doppo took on the role of crowd control and told the people ‘wow!!!! look at how heroic our tengu was!!!!!’
they were our kuukou glazers basically LOL (god i wish that were me)
#this is vee speaking#hypdream’s the dream#kuukou is so funny lmao#there’s one other details i’d like to mention lol but i need to read the event again to be thorough with it lol#but it’s a neat detail lol#i desperately need to talk about the significance of kuukou as a tengu tho lol#like the big buddhist nerd who likes kuukou is ready to lock in their answer on what sect of buddhism kuukou’s temple practices now#and looking back at what we’ve seen kuukou do for ascetic training is plenty of evidence tbh lol#man i love bat fans lmao

#unimportant thoughts#like...I can't even begin to explain it#like I'm not even a big fan of Mirra's riding#but what he meant to the sport is such large footsteps#the stardom the ads the videogames the contests the videos#the things he did FOR the community - the way he gave BACK#in tangible ways we saw and understood and reference today#no can fill his place#and it honestly really sickening to me the way a lot of modern olympic park riders act compared to him#they whine and whine and whine about not getting enough respect and support while hiding in private training facilities#only ever posting clips of them training in foam pits and on resi and talk about things to come and how well they did in the last olympic#qualifier event#mirra did so much#Mirraco...his own bicycle company he used to sponsor his fellow riders AND up an coming riders he thought deserved a chance#Drop The Hammer...a entire video dedicated to giving the spotlight to other riders he thought deserved the props and hype#on top of the Nike ads....on top of the X Games gold medals...on top of the videogames...#Animalhouse Jam.....and countless other things that I don't even know because it was before my time#and now the riders twenty years after him complain that the community doesnt do enough to support THEM??#it's...a community#it's all about community.#sigh.#delete later#anyways. RIP Dave Mirra.#whatever demons he fought and lost are demons I never want to meet.#okay short nerd rant over

Liv was so happy at the end of season 14. Just like content and happy with her career and Brian and finally past Elliot and just happy.
That scene at the beginning of Her Negotiation with her on the couch... Just carefree in a way I don't think we've seen since. It's a testament to Mariska's acting really. Olivia carries a weight now, even when she's happy. Her job was harrowing and she'd seen the world at it's worst but she could still completely compartmentalize. She lost that after Lewis, never again would rapists and murderers and abusers stay partitioned in her mind.
(Also it must be said she's fucking hot as hell in that white shirt and black leggings when she's first interrogating Lewis.)
In that scene when she fully meets Lewis' eyes for the first time, you can see the ice run down her spine. That might actually be the exact moment she became "after-Olivia."
#svu#olivia benson#William Lewis#For the blacklist#Meta#I just#There's so much to unpack there#Both in Olivia and in Mariska#There's something about how trauma defines you#Even when you recover#It just is#There's no way around it#There is a before and after you#And that's true of good big events too#There's a before and after you#And you never know the moment it happens#The moment it was the last time you were who you were#It always trips me up that we never know it's the last time of something#But that's another post#Look because I'm a nerd it's got me thinking about mirror neurons and how acting out deeply tramatic things has got to do something to you#And your brain#Since when do tags have character limits#Anyways#But yeah mirror neurons#If you're a good actor one who truly visualizes and puts yourself into the role

Also on an ATSV note…
I'm like. Notoriously bad at recognizing unreliable narrators and the likes so I don't really have much place to talk, but like. I thought we all sort of agreed that "canon events" were bullshit, right?
Like the only proof we get is a vague personal anecdote (that could possibly be chalked up to the proven issues with dimensional travel) and something that happened immediately after a super-collider went off (which also has been established to have similar reality-fucking effects). Plus, the time frames are incredibly dissimilar- we can assume that Miguel had at least a few days with his wife and kid before the universe started tearing itself apart; meanwhile, Pavitr's dimension apparently goes to hell in a matter of minutes after a cop lives. And double meanwhile, we've been shown at least three universes (Gwen's and both of the Mileses') with averted canon events that are, at the very least, taking a enough time longer than Pavitr's to collapse to prove that the latter's was something other than broken canon.
Additionally, the apparently set in stone issue of glitching is able to be fixed with a wristband without tearing apart universes, so what would make broken canon that much different and unfixable?
#across the spider verse spoilers#atsv spoilers#across the spiderverse#like sorry if it's the experimental design nerd in me but.#small sample size + unaccounted for confounding variables + ratio + no bitches#storywise idk entirely#the storyline of averting fate no matter the cost probably works better if the consequences are. real.#But the line where miles asks how we even know canon events are real isn't really directly addressed (big iirc)#and would work as great foreshadowing#depends on if the conflict is going to be more miles trying to save his dad or the fallout of miles saving his dad

How do you take a photo of time?
I've been watching the track events at the Olympics since I was a wee lad. It was a tradition in our family. We'd gather around our ancient low-definition 19 inch CRT television and watch tiny blobs compete against other tiny blobs and root for our country.
It was a bit like watching YouTube on your phone in 144p.
Several heroes emerged.
Jackie Joyner-Kersee was amazing.

You can't forget about Flo-Jo.

And then the Olympics decided NBA players were allowed in the competition.
Which formed... The Dream Team.

Was this fair?
Well... they won each game by an average of 44 points.
So... no. It was not fair.
Though it became more fair as time went on.
But, umm... yeah. The other teams looked like the Washington Generals and the US looked like the Harlem Globetrotters if they stopped screwing around half of the game.
But my absolute favorite Olympian was a runner named Michael Johnson.

He was cool as heck.
For one thing... gold shoes.
But he also had this crazy, upright, Tom Cruise-ish sprinting style that just made him look like a running robot on the track.
And in the 1996 Atlanta games he just trounced EVERYONE. I mean, it wasn't even close.
Yikes. Those losing blobs are probably really embarrassed.
Last night I decided to invigorate my nostalgia and watch the track events again. And I got to see one of the wildest races in history.
It didn't even last 10 seconds but it was one of the most exciting sporting events I've ever witnessed. Almost every runner won the race.
After I saw that initially, I was like... who the heck won???
Even in slow motion I wasn't sure.
This was one of the closest finishes in history. There has never been a race where all 8 runners were within this margin.
The arena was silent as the winner was being confirmed. The runners just kind of paced around waiting for official word. My best guess was the Jamaican runner, Kishane Thompson. But then the loudspeaker announced Noah Lyles.

The last tiny morsel of American pride burst out of me with a big "Wooooo!"
I forgot what it was like to be proud of my country. I wish it happened more often. But this young man, despite being last place in the first 3rd of the race, turned on the afterburners and won in a photo finish.
And that's when my inner nerd took over.
Because when they showed the photo finish image, it looked super weird.
Why is the track white?
Why do all of the runners look all warpy like that QWOP game?

So I went down a research rabbit hole to figure this out.
Photo finishes are actually fascinating. The first photo finish captured the end of a horse race in 1890. But that was mostly luck and timing. The actual photo finish mechanisms weren't used until 1937.
Originally they would film the finish line through a physical slit.
And the first horsie head that appeared in that slit would be the winner. This technology ended a huge aspect of corruption in horse race fixing almost overnight.
But we have come a long way since then. And I'd like to introduce you to the Omega Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate.
This slow motion camera sits fixed on the finish line of every race. The concept of the photo finish has remained remarkably similar to the 1930s approach. The camera sensor is specially designed to only record a vertical slit.
Only the finish line itself is actually captured.
And because it limits what it records to only that slit, it can capture 40,000 frames per second to get amazing temporal resolution.
So why don't the photo finishes just look like, well... this?

That is because the camera takes a picture of time more-so than dimensional space. I guess it would be more accurate to say it *assembles* a picture of time.
As the runners cross the finish line, the camera combines all of the little strips of pictures into a single image.






It's almost like if you tried to reassemble a piece of paper after it had been shredded.

Imagine each strip of paper is a picture of ONLY the finish line, just at a slightly different point in time.
What if someone stopped on the finish line and didn't move... what would that look like?
Once they got there, the same part of their body would just be repeated.
So the right side of the photo finish picture represents earlier in time and it just assembles the image strip by strip as time passes and you literally get a picture of time itself.
NEAT!
Okay, but how do they determine the winner from the photo finish?
I mean, that shoe looks like it is ahead of Noah Lyles!
Clavicles!
The IAFF rules state the foremost part of the torso must cross the finish line first. And the endpoint of the torso is the outer end of the clavicle.
So if you get this bone across the finish line first, you win the race.

Two more fun facts!
The start of the race is actually just as carefully timed as the end of the race. There are sensors in the starting blocks of each runner.
The starting gun also has an electronic sensor.
They have determined the fastest a human can react to the sound of a gun is roughly 100 milliseconds. So if you start running before 100 milliseconds they know you didn't actually hear the gun, you just got antsy and started running too early.
And the final fun fact...
Did you notice the Omega logo at the top of the photo finish?
That isn't superimposed or added after the fact. That is captured by the camera.
But if this image is composed only of tiny little slivers, how did they get the Omega logo to show up?

That is a little display. And it is synchronized with the Scan 'O' Vision Ultimate to show a little sliver of the Omega logo for each frame captured.
So when the final image is stitched together, it looks like a cohesive logo at the top of the photo.
Pretty clever, Omega!

was-
was x-men 97 on some sort of challenge to cover as many landmark x-events as possible??
it's only been 10 episodes and they've covered at least 6 of the most well-known TPBs
#i haven't watched the original but i am told it did a lot of big events as well#don't get me wrong i'm having a great time watching it!#but it does make me wonder what exactly is the target audience for this#all 150 of us nerds who have read all of the 90s comics and/or extensively listened to jay and miles xplain the xmen?#like yes. watching the original and this will probably make someone an xmen fan#will they understand anything tho? i have no idea#mjtalksalot

It started with cantrips, which is why it took people a while to notice. The first few events were people on the news talking about how they’d been needing a light and then suddenly they’d waved a hand and said words and there was light. No one really believed them but as more reports were verified suddenly more people came forward with even less believable stories of what everyone really didn’t want to call magic. Even though it was pretty obviously magic. Spectral floating hands grabbing things that were out of reach, whispered messages that reached their friend seated too far away to hear them.
An EMT who whispered a word and suddenly saved a dying man.
Then the darker stories started filtering in.
Words spoken in anger causing explosions. Poison spewing forth from a hand gesture. One person gave a retort so witty that someone was hospitalized.
Everyone was scared, but the nerds started to figure it out fastest. It sure wasn’t the scientists who were doing the equivalent of crying on the floor in the fetal position in their respective labs while reports poured in globally of these occurrences. A growing movement online started spreading lists. They had all the blessings people might have gotten and regardless of how many people scoffed no one could really deny that every instance of magic correlated to a website listing the cantrips in Dungeons and Dragons. People pooled their collective resources to help quantify what was happening and facts started to emerge.
Everybody got one. You had to be at least thirteen to use the magic. That pretty much summed up the only other common denominators. Otherwise it seemed completely random, the magic didn’t line up with any existing character traits. You just unlocked one piece of magic each. People with aggressive cantrips were almost loaded up into camps for suddenly being so dangerous- however many hit points real humans had it was apparently not a big number. A lot more deaths occurred than anyone could feasibly track and the global population panicked.
The legislation for the camps got struck down. There were riots and confusion and for a while everything was pretty chaotic. Firebolts and Eldritch Blasts went off from sheer exuberance as much as anything else. Amidst the rioting were people just living their lives, not using their cantrips. It took a while for things to settle down, but humans can get used to most anything if given enough time.
Almost everybody scanned the list to figure out which they got, but someone with Chill Touch just enjoyed frostier beverages than most even if it made you think about death more to drink something after the skeleton hand had been wrapped around it. At least it looked cool. Most people didn’t really do anything other than play around. A youtuber who had gotten Shape Water suddenly surged in popularity as she pivoted her channel to creating beautiful patterns with colored water. Other online personalities quickly followed and those with combat focused magic set up backyard target practice to show off. Some fires resulted as well as numerous noise complaints and a law was passed limiting where people could practice magic. It was virtually unenforceable but the people in charge were trying to keep a grip on the situation.
Noticeably the largest subset of the population that used their magic were those who had gotten Spare the Dying. Every government turned out the call that such individuals would receive a generous stipend for taking to the hospitals and stabilizing the sick and injured. Death rates dropped substantially, but it was still only a cantrip. Cancer marched on, but many got to live after miraculous recoveries.
Months passed and things started to become a little more normal. There were still debates about what had caused it and how to regulate magic but day to day life settled down. Speculations over what the long term ramifications would be continued as well as why those cantrips. Wizards of the Coast refused to comment for the first six months, closing its doors to the rioting and keeping them closed. At the end of six months they abruptly published a new line of cantrip cards with all kinds of utility and no combat usage whatsoever. The internet exploded and the government wasn’t pleased, but nothing happened. No one got any new magic. People wondered if those under thirteen would manifest the new stuff, but no one did. They just blew out their thirteenth birthday candles and got handed a cantrip like everyone else.
A year later a mechanic in rural Canada was peering into the engine of a busted car. He realized he needed some lubricant and instead of reaching for his can he waved a hand and splattered the car with Grease that had burst from his hand. He was a calm sort of fellow so he called up the local news and said there was more magic. They asked first what cantrip he had- folks who received Prestidigitation had made a number of false alarms on receiving additional magic. The mechanic told them his cantrip was Infestation which he’d never had cause to use after figuring it out.
The press descended and demanded a demonstration. Most people had read up on the basic rules of magic at that point, so everyone understood when the mechanic said they’d have to wait until the next day. A media storm went up the next day with headlines blaring that first level magic had been unlocked after the passing of the lunar new year.
A wide contingent had been waiting for this opportunity. The spell list went out again amidst less panic but more chaos. There was a rash of identity thefts no could trace and eventually people realized Disguise Self posed a significant challenge to daily life. Celebrities had trouble convincing people they were who they said as random citizens took their faces on numerous joyrides. A scandal broke when it turned out an A list actor had hired someone else to play them while they went on vacation but the details were kept very hush hush.
Hospitals called out desperately for anyone with healing magic and most of those blessed with Cure Wounds and Healing Word answered. People with Goodberry formed community food kitchens and for the first time it seemed like hunger could actually be eliminated. Veterinary offices and zoos made special positions for those who could cast Animal Friendship and Speak with Animals.
A celebrity chef hit the jackpot with Purify Food and Drink and made a whole spinoff series where she went dumpster diving and made five star meals out of rotting leftovers. Several people changed careers entirely to lend their services to study ancient texts with Comprehend Languages. Even one hour a day led to huge leaps in discovery and understanding of ancient civilizations.
A small murmur of worry followed the new influx of skills and power. What would happen when more magic was unlocked? The amount of people now running around with dangerous combat spells was even greater than before. Would people have to worry about necromancy? New crimes were being invented faster than laws could keep up as magic was put to novel and interesting uses.
A year passed and everyone waited with bated breath for the lunar new year, but nothing happened.
But I’m pretty sure I figured it out. We got handed cantrips. And we waited a year for first level spells. I’m pretty sure it’s one more year, and then things will really start to get interesting.
Inspired by this poll. If you enjoyed my writing consider leaving a tip on my Ko-fi!

Blog Event: Katsuki's Hacking (accepting) || @kibouhero said:
"MY PASSWORD WASN'T THAT OBVIOUS!" If Kacchan could see his face right now, Izuku's cheeks were puffed out in the largest pout imaginable. "You owe me the world's largest katsudon bowl!" Hopefully, Kacchan wouldn't find some of the more embarrassing posts he's made about them.
"Oh really?! So, if asked Pikachu if he could guess your password.. you're saying that he'd be unable to guess?"
"Tch.. fine.. I'll make ya whatever you want, nerd." There was something about someone calling someone else a 'nerd' when the person saying it was the one who used his hacking skills to get into the other person's account.
