Talonflame Facts

(Art by @the-upper-shelf )

-The scientific name for Talonflame is "Falco cinialus" which translates to "Ash falcon"

-Talonflame are birds of prey and are close relatives of Pidgeot and Fearow

-Talonflame'a habitat includes woodlands, deserts, and cities. The ones that live in woodlands and cities make their nests on high trees or tall buildings, while the ones in deserts will often make their nests on top of large bolders

-Talonflame are one of the fastest flying types that aren't legendaries or mythicals, being able to fly at 310 mph

-Talonflame hunt many small bird pokemon like Pikipek and Wingull

-While fletchling crossbreeds or pokemon crossed with fletchling aren't rare, the Talonflame rarely mate pokemon that aren't Talonflame due to them being very prideful

-Unlike Fletchling and Fletchinder, who need to heat up their flames, Talonflame's flame sac is always burning hot. To prevent overheating, Talonflame will fly at top speeds to let their flames loose

-To protect their eyes when flying, Talonflame have developed third eyelids

-Along with that, Talonflame have indented eyes and black markings around their eyes to protect them from the glare of the sun and the wind

-While fletchling migrate to warmer climates during the winter, Fletchinder and Talonflame stay since they can create enough heat to keep them warm. During the winter, parents of young fletchling will guard stay in their nests to keep their young warm, while their partner goes and brings them food. They switch rolls every couple of hours(they get really fat in the winter as well and it's adorable)

-In the winter, Talonflame will puff their feathers out to keep warmth in, which also makes them fluffier

-Female Talonflame tend to be larger than the males

-In Kalos, Talonflame are one of the main natural causes of wildfires

-Talonflame has also been known as "The Sun Bird" throughout Kalosian myths due to their flames and flying type

-Throughout many Kalosian, Paldean, and Armorian myths, Talonflame's feathers are said to give the ability to regenerate limbs

-Talonflame feathers are very hot and very popular with collectors. But most researchers suggest that you shouldn't pick them up without proper protection because they can and will spontaneously combust

Tathlum Bow / タスラムの弓

The Tathlum Bow (JP: タスラムの弓; rōmaji: tasuramu no yumi) is a sacred weapon tied to the Crest of Lamine. In Irish folklore, a táthlum is a type of sling-stone used by Lugh in the Battle of Mag Tuired; it is a variation of the "brain ball," a small ball made of pieces of sun-dried brain matter (or other parts of the head) of a fallen adversary mixed with other material. Whether or not this was an actual projectile or even if it is an actual Irish custom of a bygone era is unknown. The táthlum used by Lugh is described as being a combination of "the bloods collected from toads, bears, lions, vipers," sands taken from both the Red Sea and the Armorian Sea, and the bottom of the neck of "Osmuinn," of which the identity of is unknown. With sling in hand and his king Nuada dead, Lugh cast the táthlum at Balor: the titanic, one-eyed leader of the Fomorians and his maternal grandfather. The brain ball blew his evil eye out the backside of his head, killing him in one blow, and bringing pandemonium to the Fomorian army as his body collapsed onto them.

“I hope it’s nothing serious.” Evan mused to Al, they were sitting on the examination table having to strip and wear those paper gowns. The doctor wrote down their symptoms and then took a sample of blood. The doctor taking the blood had Evan worried, they had been throwing up each morning a lot, barely able to hold anything down and foods they once loved just made them sick. Evan reached out with their human hand to take Al’s, thumb brushing over his knuckles then his wedding band.

“Thank you for coming, I know you’ve been busy and you probably should be at home resting.”

“It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Elric, your work is on par with Kamski.” It wasn’t often Nines gave out compliments but Alphonse Elric proved to be a genius like the creator of androids but Alphonse had the added bonus of being a very polite young gentlemen.

“ walk with me? ” it won't be a very long walk unless they can stop a few times for al to rest, but.

Misc. Sentence Starter II Accepting II @armorian

Tamaki’s smile was soft and genuine as he gave a bit of a nod. “A walk sounds like a wonderful idea!” He of course knew that they would have to take breaks and that it wouldn’t be very long but he was more than willing to be patient. To be perfectly honest he jumped at absolutely any opportunity to spend time with Alphonse. 

“The garden looks absolutely splendid this time of day.” He began to walk alongside the other, his pace slow and even.

“You—I remember you!” The curious boy in a metal suit that came to him with many questions. He recognized his voice, of course. He sounded more mature now, as if he’d seen too much, but Ferrus felt some sort of fondness toward him. “You were much younger when we last met. Do you remember me?”

❝  hey, shh, it’s okay.  ❞

IT DOESN’T TRULY SINK IN UNTIL EARLY THE NEXT MORNING. by then, ed is sound asleep and snoring on granny’s battered old couch and den is curled up at his feet, equally as knocked out. she’d given up on trying to get al to sleep about half an hour ago, so she sits shoulder to shoulder with him, on the other beat up old couch adjacent to the one ed is sleeping on. it’s quiet because they’re tired and winry already said everything she had to say and more until her voice was hoarse. the quiet isn’t unnerving, though: it’s soothing, it’s warm, it’s peaceful. she’s sitting beside alphonse who is solid and whole and real, and the world is no longer caving in on itself.

( they’re alive they’re alive they’re back they’re here they’re alive— )

winry starts crying again, ( she’s lost track of how many times she’s teared up or completely cried in the stretch of time between tackling her boys in the front yard to now, but this time it feels like relief ) and tries to keep it muffled by her sleeve. it’s in vain, of course — al does take notice and sees her poor attempt at concealing her tears.  

he tells her: shh, it’s okay, and it calms the brewing storm in her gut and chest. almost a decade ago, she was the one telling him that on the exact same couch: shh it’s okay, followed by, granny’s got ed, he’s going to be fine, you’re going to be fine, it will all be okay al i promise while wiping blood off a suit of armour. she wasn’t sure if she believed it then, the possibility of everything being completely fine again, frightened and confused and oh so young. 

but now she believes it—believes him—wholeheartedly so.

winry hugs him then, as tight as she can manage — she never had any qualms about hugging al when he was in the armour ( albeit it was awkward at first, but she learned ) but now when she does, she can feel warmth and skin and muscle and bone. 

“ i am so happy you’re home. ”

there's much that befuddles her about alphonse elric .  his quietly brutal determination wreathed in dandelions , his blithe , cheerful smile hiding unfathomable loneliness — and his unique ability to compel her to both be wholly honest with him , yet also cloak herself in a shroud of lies .  first she was the ruthless princess willing to cut him down to achieve her goal ; then his lover , his sweet , honey - lipped darling with eyes for no one but him .  now that facade has come crashing down , and it's the first time they've stood face to face since the aftermath .  who should she be now ?  cool , as though remembering their tumultuous last meeting ?  or should she smile like nothing happened , his dearest friend once more ?  somehow , he's more unreadable than he ever was trapped inside that armor so long ago .  ' i'm really happy to see you , alphonse .

“Wonders of technology, they can even program assholes these days.” al ?? in a bad mood ?? rare but true

DETROIT: BECOME HUMAN SENTENCE STARTERS @armorian

“Alphonse be nice.” Al had come by to see how Evan was doing, especially in their current condition but Fowler put them on desk duty. They could only go out to crime scenes and that was it, accompanied by an officer, HK800 or GV200. The latter being someone Al just happened to meet. The shorter police droid had developed a snippy attitude since deviating, slowly getting the title of asshole. 

“You’re usually never this short, what happened?” Alphonse was a hard man to get into a bad mood, something had to have occurred while Evan was working.

“you’re not that tall.” said as if she didn’t have to look up to catch his eye and didn’t notice how he was about three times her size. al was, of course, stuck with a suit of armor as a body but that didn’t mean that kenna would acknowledge it if she didn’t have to. but she was the same person who refused to acknowledge how armstrong was three times her size as well.

armorian / *i love u baby playing in the distance* 

“whoa-” natsu was the sort of person who never took a moment to think before he spoke. the fire wizard had seen dozens upon dozens of things and yet? he still seemed to be surprised by some of the things that he saw. a step closer as he peered up at the suit of armor, green hues narrowed slightly. “what are you?”

[ouranking]

' uh, happy birthday, tamaki.' it's nothing much, but it's personal, something alphonse had hoped would make him happy. inside the box is a music box that plays a gentle french tune. 'i figured since you like music, um, that you'd like this.' he's almost sheepish when he speaks, a shy flush covering his cheeks with a smile.

Tamaki’s Birthday Celebration! II @armorian

Tamaki glanced over at Alphonse a bit surprised that he was being presented with a birthday gift. “Thank you Alphonse.. though you didn’t need to trouble yourself..” he hummed softly, carefully taking the box and going about opening it. Spotting the music box, he couldn’t help but admire the design as he very carefully took it out of the box and went about winding it and opening it, immediately recognizing the soft tune playing. 

“O-oh Alphonse..this is.. “ he could feel the tears welling up in his eyes before he could even begin to get a handle on his emotions. He knew the tune so well, one that his mother would often sing to him when he couldn’t sleep as a child. Taking a bit of a shaky breath, he carefully put down the music box and stood so he could properly wrap Alphonse into a hug. 

“T-thank you.. It’s absolutely perfect.” he whispered softly.
