emf and the evil champion's dynamic:

the evil champion @ emf: wow, I trust you so much I would let you sit up on my throne without asking when I do not allow the man I love to do so. You are my only equal btw.

emf @ the evil champion: when will you kill me for my disrespect. I've ruined you because I made you raise me. I'm going to betray you btw.

rewrote the evil champion's POV chapter. under cut

The people say that there were just plains before. That grass and ground lay untouched, contiguous, as if the land were nothing more than a patchwork quilt of color and growth.

But that time had been before the players’ arrival. They walked, sprinted, jumped as much as much as they could, their only adversary their own hunger and of the night’s monsters. With hands sturdy and strong, they went as they pleased, destroying and creating whatever caught the horde’s attention.

Courses were just makeshift, play during this time. Rolling hills, edges of mountains, tricky terrain were what consisted of Parkour. It had not been established within its greatness yet.

The splitting changed that. Straight cuts through land and water alike, the players were separated into only one set of skin for each of them.

Attention sparked crowds, waged wars along blocky ground, and that was the name of Parkour’s game for a long time. Elaborate courses of wood and sand and gravel constructed, then that of candles and other as intricate objects like brewing stands. 

Recognition was cast to Parkour now. Respect was a thing that laid much to be gained.

One had not liked that. It was sweet, fresh, singular and without a need for becoming a multiple again. It wanted Parkour to be with respect, wanted it so much that the land around for miles on end was torn apart into a grid. Individuality was the thing, said to be the curse by sinners, that it offered.

Diamonds, commands, obedience, those were what was offered to the people, within just a cookie’s crumbling under biting teeth and soft tongue.

Oh, how he wishes to have seen it in the flesh. Or dough, he would guess is more accurate to say.

*

He used to go towards the Temple every morning. Made the journey whilst knowing of his legs’ future ache, of how much worse he’d feel throughout his workday. 

Now instead, the champion leads himself and his brother up the stairs, towards the marble layer placed down by Parkour itself.

His brother’s face stretches with each yawn they take, and he often has to hold their hand along the way to prevent a potential stumble, meanwhile his own feet are weighed down by diamond and exhaustion, but it’s nice. Besides, in the books that he has read in an attempt to guide himself on the matter of raising his brother, most of them say that it is beneficial to give structure in their life. 

It helps that it is peaceful up here as well. There’s no noise of busy people pushing and shoving their way towards the banks, of any busy battles, or that of people clamoring for the Champion’s judgement on petty grudges. 

Instead, the only disturbance is the sunlight that peeks through the darkened sky, warming both his layer and the Master layer with morning.

The only person he allows to, his brother rests upon the throne whilst he recites prayer after prayer, same whispers for greatness as is his routine every other day.

He descends with them, once the layer is fully engulfed in the sun’s glow. Before, he had stayed on the marble floor just a little longer, lingering and watching, but Seawatt does not take to the invisible parkour as quietly as his brother does.

It is his only point of contention with his assistant, he likes to tell himself. He ignores the glares shot across the dinner table during the first and last meal Seawatt had attended with his brother in tow. In the same vein, he disregards Seawatt’s murmurs of betrayal and the suspicion cast their way by the excursions they take away from his sight. 

Hurrying along the highway, he is in no rush to be recognized and eventually mobbed with questions by the other Masters. He goes towards the outskirts, travels to the lab he knows is just ahead, to Seawatt.

A shame, is what the man calls it, the fact that he has chosen no other way of referring to himself or his brother than just a title. There’s no need for his annoyance though. After all, Seawatt has a name and a role of his own, his brother is just that, his brother, and they are the only forms of companionship he requires. 

What else could he need?

Despite that, AJ is the thing Seawatt chooses for him, calls him in that low voice of his. It’s arguably, virtually useless. He is an equal to no one but his brother. 

There’s no need for nicknames, not when you are within the confines of professionalism. But Seawatt cares not for those courtesies, as he has learned. But it’s not a matter of importance either, so he bothers not to deal with it in full seriousness.

The name is not carved into history books however, not upon the statue that displays diamond, not within his own file as his player ID. That spot is empty, alongside his brother’s. Familiarity is not a thing he demands within his rule.

Red hcs pt.2

-can play the violin, guitar, and piano (do I hc her to play a shit ton of instruments? Yes, yes I do. Why? Dunno, but I think she’d be a nice violinist, guitarist, and pianist (that’s why TQoH banned music, Red was playing too many things and was too loud))

-likes to play and write her own music even after music is banned, she just doesn’t play it (and she thought she’d never get to again)

-she can sing

-self taught herself a lot of things but Maddax helped her a lot too, even if it wasn’t stuff the queen required (how to run a kingdom, history, normal stuff, etc.)

-guards have a soft spot for her

-the people also have a soft spot for her (mainly old people, people who remember her when she was younger, or people who realize being the princess isn’t that beneficial, they’re mainly dead though)

-the guards know her identity but help her hide from the queen

-they also helped her get better at parkour (they were very sneaky abt it) and ignored her when she started so when they started to chase her she’d at least have a chance at escaping them, and essentially the QoH)

-when she was young the guards would sneak her gifts and would bring her flowers bc she likes them

-kitchen staff would bake her treats as a kid but the QoH found out and beheaded them all

-is very isolated bc of her mother

-rlly likes animals (especially cats and rabbits)

-is a ginger cat (as is Chloe)

-has rlly messy/frizzy hair in the morning

-her heir gets rlly curly when she’s stressed (my idea of this is: go to safari or Pinterest and search crimson hair and pick curly hair pattern)

-she spies on the guards as they train and teachers herself how to use an axe and spear

-only wears red or black lipstick

-mainly wears red, black, white, and pink (and the toniest bit of blue is in her closet, but that’s mainly Chloe’s things she stole snd blue jeans and blue jean shorts) but Red also has a couple other articles of clothing (in which Chloe got her bc she thought red would like it or it would go with her hair)

-she slowly starts to wear other colors bc she now can and explores with that with the help of her friends

-Chloe makes her wear green during Christmas bc she looks all christmasy

-likes funky patterns

-used to steal her mothers earrings and jewelry and dress up just like tQoH until she realized just how awful she rlly was

-rlly likes to listen to classical and instrumental music but also has the most random music taste, you see those videos about ppl who listen to everything? That’s Red

-she’s a big yapper when she’s comfortable with you

-braids her hair when she’s nervous and doesn’t realize she does it

-Chloe calls her babygirl and beloved when she uses pet names

-is a good driver but can drive reckless like her mom

-after the time travel mission she mourns her mother, bc while she wasn’t a good mom she was Red’s and Red misses her

-she also misses the old wonderland and her friends there bc they knew what she was really like and what she went through

-has a lot of scars from punishments by tQoH

-doesn’t like Auradon Prep but loves the freedom and space Auradon provides

-is on good terms with Uma and they form a sister relationship bc Uma sees a lot of herself in Red

-makes friends with Dizzy & Celia (pretend they’re the same age or a few years older and go to school together (like, they’re in their last year when Red and Chloe are in their first))

-doesn’t rlly get along with Chloe’s friends or other AKs for obvious reasons, but also doesn’t rlly get along with VKs bc they think she’s a perfect princess who had a good life and doesn’t understand what they’ve gone through so Red’s alone besides Chloe and Uma rlly

-doesn’t rlly respond to Bridget’s letters bc she doesn’t know how to or what to say, but Chloe helps her with them and she gets to know her mom better and they form a good relationship over letters then in person

-Chloe or Ella have to be there as a buffer between Red and Bridget at first bc then it’s just awkward and Red will shut down

-loves to take photos of everything and anything she finds pretty or pleasing and her friends, and eventually Bridget too

-rlly likes grapes and cherries

-likes to swing and daydream

I know we touched on it before but I kinda see the virus in your undead au mutating everyone but having it play out like pokemon evolution. Picture this, the more they use their talents to hunt the more their bodies would change to suit their strategy. It would be subtle at first like Aoi's hands and feet becoming a bit webbed but not noticeable unless you really look close enough and as it continues their features would become more noticeable. Anyways that was my two cents, what do you think?

Ooh, that's really cool! This feels like something that would lead into all the undead breaching containment (of the classroom, not the campus) and Makoto and Nagito having to find them all, in their disparate environments. Straight up video game plot of "Okay! Next we have to find Sayaka in the music room, but be careful; those high notes are killer!"

Hina's in the pool, and she's got gills now. How do you catch an undead Ultimate Swimmer who now has gills and webbed feet/hands? By knowing her really well. (Not elaborating on that, right now; I'm just playing in the space, lol.)

Also, I just imagined Akane with Elastigirl powers, which is officially not canon to this, because the body horror implied by that is terrifying. (I don't know what to do with Akane, because the game's beast-like imagery for her already strikes me as somewhat racist. And also she seems to have already maxed out on parkour skills, lol. Her Pokemon evolution is that she finds some roller skates.) Maybe claws? For climbing? And her bones do change to improve her flexibility. Maybe slitted pupils- Oh no, I'm making Catra, now.

Ultimate Imposter does get camouflage powers, though. He eats whatever Ibuki stuns with her music. I'm thinking Ibuki can make sonic blasts with her mouth. And yes, those two are still together. It's beneficial to the lucksters, because they would never find Imposter if Ibuki weren't with him. Unless there was something serious happening.

// Danny factoids/contradictions I must share/point out:

- Switches between supernatural grace and the weird twitching movement of a bird in 0.2 seconds flat.

- If he stops being quiet and you prompt him to talk he doesn't know when to stfu sometimes and the way he talks blends words together a lot.

- Acknowledges he looks and often acts like kid but if it isn't actively serving him beneficially he will try to make it clear that in his mind he is Not a Kid but also Not a Person and therefore should not be regarded by the expectations of either. He is an Other.

- His strength is limited by his age at death but with the kind of parkour and athletic feats he pulls off to get around the place in such ways it seems effortless, he's for sure stronger than expected at a glance.

Clown wearing a vest that says 'Nervous'.

[Temporary Image]

Name: Hiyett Fectan

Nicknames: Clown, Little Man.

Bloodcolor: Purple

Sign: Capriga (derse, space)

Pronouns: He/him.

Age: 10 sweeps

Lusus: Bearded Vulture Mom (Estranged)

Height: 6'3 (190 cm)

Weight: 160 lbs (72 kg)

Sub-species: N/A

Psionics: Hiyett doesn't have psionic abilities, not even chuckle voodoo-esque ones. Broken horns leave him numb to most softer psionics.

Strife Specibus: Trash-kind. This specibus allows Hiyett to use items that have lost their value in some physical way so long as he doesn't attempt to repair them. A bat split in half, a rifle with a bent barrel, broken glass bottle. This specibus came in handy when everything he received as a child was damaged in some way and still is beneficial in a large city where trash is plentiful.

Fetch Modus: Toss and Catch modus. When attempting to get an item from his modus, a gray, featureless, size accurate copy is produced and Hiyett has to throw the copy a distance at least equivalent to it's own length away from his body and catch it. The copy does not have mass to others if they attempt to touch it. If he drops or fumbles the item the copy disappears and he has to go back into his modus to select the item and try again. He acquired this modus in hopes of improving his hand-eye coordination and it might be working.

Occupation: Hiyett's knowledge of the lay out of his city makes him a very good delivery troll and being higher blooded means he can take jobs that are more dangerous but more lucrative.

Notable abilities:

- Parkour: Hiyett is very comfortable climbing, running, and jumping from very high and unstable perches. He usually always lands fine. He was a mountian kid.

- Highblood Durability: The usual purpleblood strength and durability increase. Though Hiyett is on the skinny side he's not as easy to break as he would have you believe.

- Eyes and Ears: Hiyett has great eyesight both in and out of the dark and his ears pick up on softer or higher sounds the average troll may miss but it's nothing spectacular.

- Book smart Street smart: In addition to an in-depth knowledge of city etiquette Hiyett often buries himself in books and school feedings of subjects he likes like applied mathematics and physics. Though his nerves make him fumble and often not attempt to solve problems he probably could.

TrollianHandle: gnawingTurbine [GT]

Quirk: Typical capitalization other than 'i' always being lowercase, if a word has 'ss' he replaces it with 'zs', shortening the words 'fucking', 'motherfukcer, and 'motherfucking' into 'fking' 'mfker' and 'mfking', he often chops his point into two messages with the first having no end punctuation, can't help but let a few 'uhm's slip in every now and then, his clown smile and frown has a little curve :o} :o{ imitating the arrow on his nose.

Ex: GT: It wasn't my fault it got mezsed up GT: i didn't even go to the stupid place! ----- GT: i mean if you wanna take a break i can make sure all your stuff goes through. GT: Uhm, only if you want. Obviously. GT: No pressure :o}

Personality Traits

(+) - Observant, Open to learning, Adaptable to the enviroment, Usually pretty paitent.

(-) - Cowardly, Self degrading, Pissy when upset.

(?) - Easily swayed, Fawning, Anxious

Sociability

Hemoloyalty: Mid. The people who are on top are on top for a reason and the people on the bottom are also there for a reason. He accepts this on a grander scale but he doesn't see the reason for being needlessly cruel to someone lower than him, but he sure does fear those higher (and in the same caste) as him.

Aggression: Mid. His anxiety makes situations seem more dangerous than they are sometimes. He is a fawn or flight type person and would much rather cut and run. However, he is not above taking a swing at someone if he's boxed in or waiting around the corner to smack them in the head with a pipe during a chase.

Openness: Mid. Chat him up but be gentle. Like coaxing a neighborhood cat. If you seem nice, or have something you two can bond over, and don't trigger his panic he can be a nice friend to have.

Relationships

Associates:

Teriyo - The troll he shared his Lusus with. He lived further up the cliff side and sent most of his old stuff down to Hiyett to grow into. Mom was so protective it was hard to get anything else delivered; so Hiyett's wardobe is pretty much all upsycled from this guy. There's tension between them but also a shallow trust.

Anrifi - A very handsome and very annoying sea dweller Hiyett rarely sees but talks to often over Trollian. Hiyett often runs errands for him that Anrifi can't do himself for one reason or another.

Friendships:

"Kuzal" - A fellow city dweller Hiyett met by chance one day. They ended up bonding over shared insecurities and creative ideas. Now they are friends but Kuzal is not the nicest guy.

Quadrants:

Matesprite: Open.

Moirail: Open.

Kismesis: Crushing Heavily

Auspistice: Open. Not interested in mediating

Top Kids Personal Trainer in Dubai: Boost Your Child's Fitness & Fun

In today's fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever to ensure that children maintain an active lifestyle. With the rise of screen time and sedentary habits, physical fitness often takes a back seat. This is where a professional kids' personal trainer in Dubai can play a pivotal role in promoting health, fun, and well-being for your child.

A kids’ personal trainer is a trained expert who specializes in working with children to improve their fitness, strength, flexibility, and overall physical development. In Dubai, where families are increasingly prioritizing health, hiring a personal trainer for your child is becoming a popular option for parents who want their kids to enjoy a balanced lifestyle, develop healthy habits, and engage in physical activities that suit their individual needs.

The Benefits of Hiring a Personal Trainer for Kids

Promoting Physical Health Children today face a growing number of health challenges, including childhood obesity, poor posture, and limited mobility. A kids’ personal trainer can tailor workout routines that help combat these issues, focusing on exercises that enhance cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and coordination. By focusing on age-appropriate exercises, trainers help children develop better motor skills, build muscle strength, and improve overall physical fitness.

Making Fitness Fun One of the biggest advantages of hiring a personal trainer for kids is that the sessions are designed to be enjoyable. Unlike conventional exercise programs that might feel like a chore, a personal trainer will create engaging and fun activities that hold your child’s interest. Whether it’s through games, obstacle courses, or interactive exercises, a trainer ensures that children are motivated and excited to stay active.

Building Confidence and Self-Esteem As children progress in their fitness journey, they gain a sense of accomplishment and pride. Personal trainers encourage kids to set goals, achieve milestones, and celebrate their progress, which leads to increased self-esteem. When children feel stronger, more capable, and more confident in their abilities, it positively impacts other areas of their life, including academics and social interactions.

Encouraging Social Interaction Many kids’ personal trainers offer group sessions or work with siblings, which provides an opportunity for children to socialize, collaborate, and develop important communication skills. This is particularly beneficial for kids who are more introverted or those who struggle with socializing in large groups. Exercising in a group setting fosters teamwork and a sense of belonging, which are essential skills in today’s world.

Establishing Healthy Habits Working with a personal trainer helps children develop consistent exercise habits from a young age. With the guidance of an expert, they can learn about the importance of regular physical activity, healthy eating, and proper rest. These habits often carry over into adulthood, helping them lead healthier, more balanced lives.

Why Dubai is the Perfect Place for Kids' Personal Training

Dubai is known for its emphasis on luxury, wellness, and family-friendly activities, making it an ideal location for kids’ personal training. The city offers a wide range of fitness centers and outdoor spaces where children can engage in various activities—from swimming and tennis to parkour and cycling. Additionally, Dubai is home to several certified and experienced kids' trainers who use cutting-edge techniques and equipment to create effective and fun fitness routines for children.

Parents in Dubai also have the advantage of accessing a diverse range of training styles, whether they are looking for sports-specific coaching, general fitness, or specialized programs like dance, yoga, or martial arts. This flexibility ensures that your child’s fitness regimen is tailored to their personal interests and abilities.

Conclusion

Investing in a kids’ personal trainer in Dubai is an excellent way to promote your child’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With a focus on fitness, fun, and personal development, a kids' trainer helps children build lifelong healthy habits and a positive attitude toward physical activity. Whether it’s improving strength, gaining confidence, or simply having fun, a personal trainer ensures that your child’s fitness journey is enjoyable and effective.

Am I going to do anything with this? No

However because Cassandra Cain from DC has lived in my head rent free for a few years now...

A backstory for Cassandra Cain set in Zaun under the cut. Content warnings for mention of child abuse, neglect, murder, violence, depersonalization, objectification. (There is no SA here as a note).

Cassandra Cain born of a Piltovian father and an Ionian mother both of whom were among the greatest close combat fighters and assassins of the world was brought about because her father wanted to create the best assassin in the world and to wield her as a weapon. His idea was authorized due to people in Piltover wanting Vander (yes that Vander, in Zaun) to be killed but were willing to wait years in order to accomplish it in what would commonly be seen as a rather humiliating way. This was put into motion before Vander adopted Vi, and Powder and in fact Cassandra is around the same age as Jinx.

I'm not going to get into her childhood details here (if you know about Cassandra Cain you know what it was like. If you don't know but you want more details come yell at me), but she was literally raised to be the perfect killer and weapon. She was not raised as a person. She was raised as a living close quarters weapon in order to be an assassin. However things changed after Silco took down Vander. After that her father decided to start testing Shimmer on Cassandra when it became "publicly" available.

For the next 6-8 years Cassandra continued being raised, trained, treated, and used as a weapon as steadily more and more shimmer was shoved into her. These days her eyes basically look like...well..

They do not ever go back to normal, and she has a habit of hiding them under a mask or hood.

Unlike in DC she has killed more than once. Her father was very careful not to force her hand too young, and when he did have her start killing it was against barely human shimmer enhanced fighters that didn't register quite the same way as normal humans. The problem was when he gave her an assignment, and sent her to kill a completely normal human family. She killed all of them except for their child, and than fully realizing just what she'd done and had been doing Cassandra simply didn't go back to her father.

She is now homeless, and alone in the depths of Zaun which presents her with an interesting difficult. She will never kill again, but she is also in essence the best fighter in Zaun however she's not good at anything not related to fighting and infiltration. Parkour, climbing, fighting, lock picking, etc.etc she can do. However she can barely read, is bad at talking, and has issues understanding people unless she is looking at them to read their body language. She is however quite good at telling when someone is directly lying to her. It's not hard to manipulate her though if you gain her trust, and know how to phrase things correctly. You don't have to lie in order to not tell the exact truth, or to say things in a way that are beneficial to yourself while leaving certain details out. She also has a lot of potential as a potential team leader, and could grow a lot should the right person decide to help her for whatever reason.

She also loves seeing people dance, and dance in general. So if you ever want to find her honestly just wait for a special dance performance to be held, and than look up and into the shadows.

She'll probably be there lurking.

Seriously, I cannot recommend enough labeling your cords, especially in areas where there are many. A strip of painters tape into a little flag on each end of a cord where I might disconnect it for any reason - router to tv, router to power, tv to blu-ray, cable to tv, etc. Dropping a cord isn’t a crisis of wtf was this attached to (other than my middle aged ass having to parkour over the piece of furniture). I’m almost angry how beneficial this 5 min project turned out to be all these years later.

I’d like to thank 4 years ago me for labeling all of the tv/cable/router cords behind the furniture because it made replacing the cable box a 10 min project (including dusting) instead of a WHICH FUCKING CORD IS THIS project.

[storybookprincess]

okay so like on one hand my chronic illness has been an enormously positive force for me & the majority of the things i currently value about myself & my life are a direct result of my experience with it & my absolute worst health periods have consistently turned out also to be my biggest periods of personal growth & i’ve reached the point where i sometimes feel that gratitude even in the moments of particularly acute symptoms because i know that i will continue to use the experience to change for the better

but like on the other hand shitty body feel real bad

Phil replied to Jojo on twitter!

[Image ID:

A cropped screenshot of a tweet by jojosolos @/jojosolos with a reply by Ph1LzA @/Ph1LzA.

Jojo’s tweet reads “u can just be honest and say ur mad bc im a woman lol”. Attached is a cropped screenshot of a reddit comment by u/Feversky in presumably the MCC reddit, from which it has been deleted by a moderator. The comment reads:

“Going to be honest, this 1st individual really isn't impressive. She barely got above 3k, and got outplaced by both Ranboo and Scott in Parkour Tag and Rocket Spleef Rush. Disregarding team games, she never indivudally got 1st in any game, the closest being in BB where she got 2nd and her only Top 3 placement.

Yeah sure, 1st place. But let's be honest, a team with Jojo, Ranboo, Scott and Gee which mind you is essentially just a stronger version of Red28 which got 3rd! Of course this team would dominate, it's borderline OP, even with the bench of games that were theoretically beneficial to them like BM and HITW. This team's weakest player got 23rd! If that's not unbalanced, I don't know what to tell you.

I think a more impressive showing is if Jojo got 1st individual on a 10th place team. Then yeah, sure, she's S tier. But right now she's too inconsistent. Look at her placements in MCC23 and Pride22. And while not actual MCC, in Blockwars, an event similar to MCC, her individual placement in BW is quite terrible for a supposed "S Tier".”

Phil’s reply reads “Standard redditor L You popped the fuck off m8! actually stun locked them with your performance lmfao”.

Have you seen the reddit now talking about misogyny when they can conveniently blame it on george and his stans? Why is there now an outcry against misogyny because false’s stans made drama out of george punching her in a mini game when she explicitly said not to, but not an outcry when the community devalued jojo’s skill for months? when scott enables misogyny by continuously using women as nerfs? when people bullied nikki out of the event for being upset?

Really giving “I don’t care about people belittling and harassing women but I draw the line at george’s fans finding his mcc trolling funny”

it’s bc mcc fans don’t like the dteam .

there is something to be said about misogyny in mcc and ik this bc i wrote a whole essay on it but although a female player was at the other end of george’s trolling there’s nothing to say it’s an act of misogyny. bc as a george viewer we know he just trolls anyone . it was a matter of who was behind him, which happened to be false and at one point elaina, there was no micro aggression towards women that made geirge target then specifically . they were just the ones behind him . false recognises that George was just being a menace and that it would not have affected her placement either way so she asked people not to harass george it his viewers because number one why would she WANT her viewers to harass anyone but also she knows it’s ultimately not that big of a deal in the long run and that she’s a valuable player who can and will make up for any losses even though the result would have been the same either way .

i talked about this last week regarding sapnap but there is a trend of trying to make the worst of a situation . ie last week people were saying sapnap was abusive bc he was loud and competitive and eret ms stream didn’t exactly help matters . this might be a result of me talking about misogyny in the subreddit tbh . but the element of critical thinking has been taken away from it . when i asked ppl to think about misogyny i asked them to think about what they were saying and why . george was hitting false -> hes targeting female players or george was hitting false -> she was the unlucky person behind him .

people saw george display a trait they didn’t like - not taking the event seriously enough - and took a similar route as to how they treat sapnap in that they blow it up to be a way bigger event than it actually was . it’s simply because they don’t like the dteam and are trying to find evidence that fits their narrative of them as morally wrong . hence sapnap taking the event too seriously makes him an abuser and george taking the even not seriously enough makes him a raging misogynist when in fact if you look at the context of their streams it creates an entirely new situation . ie George just being a menace to whoever was behind him without a motive of targeting female players.

you can argue that female players have it hard enough in mcc and that’s why what George did was misogyny but i don’t think that holds up . female players already have it so hard so to label every instance of not so beneficial player interactions as musogynistic it’s taking away the attention from the actual misogyny that’s prevalent in the fanbase and sometimes in the event . bc if we say geirge trolling was misogyny we could also say that anyone who kills a woman in pvp games is targeting female players as weak . women who agree to be a sandkeeper instead of a runner are being belittled for their skill . women who are shit off platforms in rsr are being targeted . women who are tagged first in parkour tag are being targeted . game mechanics aren’t always fair and sometimes a woman is the unfortunate victim of griefing or pvp . not all of those instances will be a result of misogyny . otherwise the option to make sure nobody does anything negative to female players leaves them in a situation where they are essentially infantilised bc we are ‘protecting’ them from the mechanics of the game . is it annoying what george did ?? i’m sure it was for false and elaina during the game . is it worth the hullabaloo??? no . bc nobody care if it was soemone like ranboo doing it i guarantee

like it feels like with all of these new content updates providing enchanted iron tools that mojang just forgot they added mending into the game. players are going to probably spend a good chunk of their first days in a new world building up good tools and have probably already trapped a villager to spam-replace a lectern next to until they get mending, and then they wont have to think about getting new tools and armor ever again.

like the only beneficial tool thats been offered to players is the enchanted diamond hoes in ancient cities to mine the skulk with. that makes sense. but raids offering iron tools provides nothing, since players are usually going into raids later when they have diamond or netherite. the rascal offering enchanted iron tools doesnt really make sense since players will go caving until they get diamonds, and then make a diamond pickaxe. minecraft continues to offer iron tools and armor everywhere and theres no reason to keep them except to smelt them down into iron nuggets. there's so much early game loot and hardly any late-game loot except for ancient cities and end cities. which makes sense, but then it makes exploring the overworld late-game feel lackluster because you already have better items and armor than whatever they could offer.

i do appreciate ancient cities nowadays for providing players a way to earn really insanely good loot. i think they're a perfect challenge for overpowered players. but that's the only place for them to go.

one thing ive never understood is why minecraft doesnt implement some kind of sky area. some kind of sky city or sky islands all the way at build height, or even ABOVE build height so players cant place any blocks. i think it would be fun and challenging and maybe theres parkour all the way above build height and players have to drink slow-fall potions to not die when they fall all the way down like 200 blocks. maybe theres a special enchantment at the top of the city you can put on elytra to act as a rocket, and it has a short cooldown.

maybe for players with elytra who think they can cheat their way through it, theyre instead offered a cool elytra ring course they could participate in and it will lead the player to the same spot as the parkour. I DONT KNOW. i just want to ramble about minecraft.

Apprenticber Day 1

Introduce your apprentice! Just their name, personality, appearance, and likes/dislikes for now! If you have pictures of them, post them today!

Although not an apprentice per se - that isn't their relationship to Asra - Aleis, along with their spouse Lua, fill that niche in the story.

Six foot two and built like a brick shithouse, Aleis carries themself with all the unassailable, self-contained confidence of the bear they resemble. It is beneficial to remember that a bear can outrun a horse at a sprint.

Familiar: Feather the jumping spider

Arcana: Death; not only is Death their patron, but also the source of their revived body, as the Fool is Lua's. Suffice to say they and Valdemar do not get along, Aleis embodying the ever-changingness to which Valdemar's stagnation is anathema.

Colours: Teals, dark intense blues, stormy greys, copper, black, icy silver

Materials: Labradorite, copper, bone, steel, rough-spun silk

Aleis likes:

Brewing

Making incredibly precise and functional miniatures, including fully articulated figures the size of your pinky

Rain, snow, lighting, wind, all of the above simultaneously

The ocean

Mountains

Animals, with a particular affinity for cats and spiders

Solitude

Martial Arts

Parkour

Sex, cuddling, and physical affection with Their People

Turning into weird shit

Mischief

Face-meltingly spicy food

Salty and umame flavours

Sour and tangy!

~nudity~

Aleis Dislikes:

Shitty beer

Sunlight

Hot weather

Loud noises

Most aristocrats

Most authority in general

Crowds

Feeling like they're being rumoured

Physical contact - outside of sparring - with people who aren't Their People

Pants (an exception may be made for loose flowy ones like Valerius wears)

Shoes

Overly sweet foods

Things touching their ears

do winged!dream's legs/feet/whatever adjust to help him land better once he becomes winged? i assume that human knees and muscles really aren't meant to support that type of activity, and he can't exactly tuck and roll like people who parkour do with giant wings on his back. if his legs are magically/physically strengthened or changed, does he use that to help him land softer in other scenarios? say, jumping off trees/buildings to scare his friends allies

His legs/feet aren't adjusted much at all, and it's actually something he has to struggle with + adapt for (although his skeleton did get overall moved 2 inches to the left to adjust for the wings + support everything safely for flight)!

Now, when he first gets his wings, he's fresh out of prison and needs to do a lot of recovery for muscle mass/in general. This is actually quite beneficial, because it means he's got a clean slate for building up that muscle again and getting used to being physically active. c!Phil helps a lot in teaching him how to safely move/land with his wings.

A big part of it is that he has to either land slowly, or he needs to aim for something that he can grab onto with his hands and spin on a bit to ride out that momentum (ie, a tree branch). He can also do a kind of roll for a quick landing, it's just going to get his feathers very dirty and not be particularly comfortable.

Some of this is stuff he has to figure out over time, although Phil does teach him to not try his usual rolls. Luckily, parkour experience means Dream already knows not to just hit the ground at full speed.

Over time, as the wings become a perm part of his life, Dream works out some new boots/bracers that help cushion the impact by quite a bit, which makes faster landings safer. In general though, he usually just slows his decent using his wings so he hits the ground at a safe speed.

Also, Dream does jump off stuff recklessly still, but he's been doing that since before he got wings. That's just who he is as a person. If anything, the wings make it safer/less scary for people watching him. He makes up for this lack of scare by jumpscaring people using his silent flight. Because of course he does.

BNHA Physical Education Guide: For Use in BNHA Programs

When I eventually get around to posting the BNHA boys’ workouts I will refer to some of their activities as PE (Physical Education). This will be the guide. 

The BNHA boys undoubtedly workout by themselves, however most schools require students to do PE. From experience and asking some Japanese students at uni, I believe PE would be for around an 1 to 1.5 hours about 1 to 3 times a week. I found that PE is pretty standard across the world. Mostly different sports, laps, group exercise, and the occasional weight room session. However, the BNHA high school functions as something closer to a military or ROTC camp so their PE would likely be a little more intense. These look like a lot of exercises, but they aren’t hard or time consuming, no maxing out on lifts here. The boys might choose to skip workouts on these days or simply supplement with exercises they feel would be beneficial. Girls like Momo/ Uraraka might not workout beyond this PE: Momo needs to reserve calories and her training is taking time to study, and Uraraka would likely spend more time in a martial arts dojo as her quirk makes resistance training useless. 

*** EMPHASIS: THIS IS A LOT OF EXERCISE VARIETY BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE TIME CONSUMING, USE LIGHT WEIGHTS (NOTHING BEYOND 60% OF 1RM) AND DO NOT EXHAUST YOURSELF WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT. USE DISCRETION IF COMBINING WITH ANOTHER PROGRAM, THIS BY ITSELF IS A GOOD STARTING PLACE FOR ANYONE.
