[hermesserpent-stuff]

So, want to hear some ideas for Wings of Fire-fied Sabretooth and Wolverine and Gambit? Ye or no? I'm going with ye. (Note: you can imagine imagine as full dragons in Wings of Fire world (but with X-Men charactersas dragons), or even imagine an au where they are part dragon or can turn into dragons and that dragons are that X-Men world's version of mutants (imagine Remy with a little tail and wings and talons! AAAAAHHHHH SO CUTE!!! AND PAPA SABRETOOTH AND PAPA WOLVERINE AND FAMILY X-TEENS AND BROTERHOOD AMD ALL THE ADULTS!!!)

Yeah, I'm excited. So, let's let's this!

Sabretooth I see as one of these three tribes, or as a hybrid of two of them: HiveWing, IceWing, and/or NightWing-

• HiveWing Sabretooth! has caramel golden, warm orange, and/or dark black stripes and spots on his scales, has deadly stingers in his claws, has honey or acid green eyes, has briad shoulders and sharp teeth, plus a powerful bite,, was a powerful soldier/guard once... possible names for him but aren't limited to: Velvet, Vespid, Vespa, Sawtooth, Scorpion, Scarab, etc.

• IceWing Sabretooth! has pale amber scales with darker gray-brown splashes, like wild cat spots or imprints in snow, has gray-blue-green eyes, has sharp, serrated claws, is larger than most IceWings, has a few scars, is a deadly foe and was once a spy and assassin... possible names for him include but aren't limited to: Vole, Sable, Snow Leopard, Sastrugi, Stratus, etc.

• NightWing Sabretooth! has dark brown scales, sharp amber-brown or moss green eyes, thick shoulders and a large build/height, and was an assassin/mercenary/soldier before... possible names for him include, but aren't limited to: Victor, Victorious, Vicious, Vengeance, Creedbreaker, Sabreteeth, Sharpteeth, etc.

Wolverine I see as the same tribes as Sabretooth, being HiveWing, IceWing, and/or NightWing-

• HiveWing Wolverine! has dark blue-black amd pumpkin orange scales, dappled across his face and neck and back and tail, with dark black wings with orange lines running through them, has dark red-brown eyes, has deadly wrist stingers, is broad in stature but not as tall as HiveWing Sabretooth, was once a soldier/guard, then experiment, then free dragon... possible names for him include but aren't limited to: Locust, Leafcutter, Wasp, Woodworm, Hornet, etc.

• IceWing Wolverine has gray-blue scales, darker gray-blue-purple scales running down his back and spread across his wings, like shadows, sharp, deadly claws, thick shoulders, a larger build, has dark gray-blue eyes, and was once a guard/noble, then rogue dragon... possible names for him include but aren't limited to: Lynx, Lemming, Wolverine, Wolf, Howlite, Hoarfrost, etc.

• NightWing Wolverine! has dark blue/dark indigo scales, has large black-blue wings, has sharp teeth and claws, has a strong tail, is shorter than most older dragons, but bigger than any dragonets or young adult dragons, has dark brown or dark rust-colored eyes, has a few scars, was once a soldier/spy, then left... possible names for him include but aren't limited to: Loyalty, Longnight, Woebringer, Warbringer, Warwinner, etc.

Gambit I can see as either of these three, or a hybrid of two: SandWing, SeaWing, and/or NightWing-

• SandWing Gambit! would have muted dust brown scales, with darker brown speckles or black diamond patterns like a snake, has odd eyes with black and pink-red or black and gold, has swift and sneaky talons, has slightly tattered wings (they look like his coat), carries a few pouches full of dragonflame cacti seedpods and smoke bombs, is a decent fighter, is/was a thief for the Talons of Thieves... possible names for him include but aren't limited to: Roadrunner, Rattlesnake, Gila, Gazelle, Emu, etc.

• SeaWing Gambit! has odd scales, a dark green-brown, like kelp or turtle shells, with pink webbing and glowscales, has bright red-pink eyes like coral, has a trick where he lights up all his scales as bright as he can to blind enemies, is a minor prince or noble, makes excellent seafood dishes, is/was part of the Seas' Guild... possible names for him include but aren't limited to: Remora, Reef, Ray, Gill, Gulf, Goby, Gale, etc.

• NightWing Gambit! has dark red-brown scales, has red-pink eyes, has hard scales, has a few scars across his wings, has a minor empath ability due to almost being hatched under the moons, wears a few piercings in his ears, is/was a member of the Thieves' Wing, a group of spies, thieves, and shady individuals... possible names for him include but aren't limited to: Reminisce, Revenge, Remedial, Gamble, Gallant, etc.

Fun facts for them:

• In each world, Gambit, dragon-mutant or dragon-dragon, falls in love with Rogue

• Logan and Victor are brothers or were brother-adjacent to each other

• Dragon or dragon-mutant Gambit can cook great seafood dishes, and adds spice to his food, could make a living just selling his tricks about how to cook and bake, or selling his food as a street vendor, he's that good

• Dragon Victor is large, due to being older than most dragons and because he is a big boi that has big bones

• Dragon Logan is smaller than Dragon Victor, but is bigger than the teens/dragonets and young adult dragons

• Dragon Gambit is a goid friend and/or older brother to younger dragonets

(Notes: These will be added to my blog, too, but if you like any of them, feel free to explore the dragon side of things! These are my opinions on what they'd look like and possible names and pasts they'd have, but nothing is set in stone!)

I hope you enjoyed this, Hermes!

interesting. never read WOF tbh!

but interesting!!

Scott: Cherry Quartz, a Guard and Companion to the Pearls of the Reef; acts as a guide and older sibling to the Pearls; is strict, but not as strict as the older gems, and is sweet

Jean: Mookaite Jasper, a Guard and Companion to the Pearls of the Reef; acts as a guide and older sibling to the Pearls; is kind, and patient with the newly made Pearls

(The Reef has many saltwater pools for relaxation and community bonding. There are several rooms as well with aquariums, touch pools, and museums about gem history, the Reef, and Pearls, as well as some about marine animals of the galaxy, and one specifically for Earth marine life. There is a main bedroom/relaxing room for Pearls, with carved shell beds afield with soft cushions amd pillows and blankets, with lights that turn off when needed, and doors that open when the guards command it. The gems who maintain the Reef are nicer than they appear, but Reader is still scared of them because of what they did, yet Reader tries to act like nothing is wrong, in case anyone discovers they remember being human. There is a check-up/rejuvenating room, where the Pearls are inspected, and if needed, rejuvenated, so they won't remember being human or anything besides waking up at the Reef. There is art along different walls, murals of different gems and plenty of Pearls, all in different colors and gem shapes. And there are plenty of recreational rooms, for making art or fixing things or reading holo pads or gardening or whatever you could think of...)

[howlingday]

Ok so Lore Dump today! I know I'm behind and after this I will make sure I do an ask about the Dusknoir au. Anyway Part 2 of the Guardians!

Name: Scimon (Sci-mon) He/Him

Appearance: In his human diguse he is a pale skinned raven faunus. He is about 7 feet tall. He has toxic green hair and wears a waring sign yellow cloak. He carries a black mask shaped like beak that covers most of his face but not his eyes. His trait is some raven tail feathers. He wears wear neon red pants with black shoes. He does not wear a shirt. In his true form his entire body is made of a thick dark green acid. His mask fuses to his face and becomes a working beak. He also grows wings in this form.

Aura:No

Magic:Acid(He can create and control acid. He can control how acidic his acid is. This includes his own body. His acid can quickly melt though even metal and only a speical kind of metal is immune.) Posion (He can produce and control posion and toxins in gas or liquid form) Storage (He has a small pocket dimension He can store supplies and weapons to use.) Flight (His wings can't really fly him so he has this magic) Wind (He was wind powers to work his acid and posion)

*Note I'm doing weapons now because the last three Guardians did not have weapons and either hand to hand and used magic so I'm adding it now.

Weapon: A metal staff and a round bottle on top without the lid. The staff is painted to look wooden. The bottle on top is used to fire out elemental attacks,potions he crafts, or just more acid.

Other notes: Scimon was made to guard the experiments of the Keeper as well as conduct and oversee them. They can range from finding new ways to use magic, to upgrading grimm and machines , or even human and fanuas ones. His base is a group of factorys used by him amd other companys. He is seems intense but is quite chill most of the time. He's does get really exicted with his experiments. He tends to hunch over a lot. He gets upset very quickly if people underestimate him in battle. He tries to end fights as fast as possible even being brutal. He main attacks are wide spread area attacks or close range acid touches and acid blasts. Hates the cold because his acid loses its acidity when frozen.

Main Inspiration:Horus from Idle Heroes amd Plauge Knight from Shovel Knight.

Name: Frost Helen She/Her

Appearance: Frost has three forms. Her first is her human disguise. She looks like a fair skinned women with long Grey hair(about mid back) She wears a thin grey shirt with a heavy cloak on her back made of black bear fur, cream colored pants, and thick brown boots. Out of her disguise her skin turns to see though ice. Her eyes turn pure dark blue amd her hair is know made of Grey snow. Frost second form is a giant snow wolf with ice teeth and claws made of blue ice. Her tail now her Ax. Eyes are still the same. Her size nows allow her to fit a 5'10 well built man in her mouth easily. Her final form is a large serpent with scales and teeth made of ice covered in white ice. She is long enough to coil around the outside of median sized village and taller than three stories. She can fits a Goliath in her mouth without stretching.

Aura:No

Magic:Ice( She can make and control Ice) Freeze( This allows her to constantly make the surroundings area cold enought to freeze water instantly.) Shape shifting. Wind. Snow(She can produce snow storms to cover her escapes or make people lose track or them or friends location.) Durability(She can make herself more Durability allowing her to use her strength to burrow though wood,stone and even metal)

Weapon:In her human form she uses a great two sided ax. She can use with only one hand. She can also channel magic though it to allow her launch freezing blast.

Other notes: Frost guards the portal to the Ever After(It does not work yet). She is quiet to the point of being selective mute. She also gets irritated easily. The most trigger happy of the Guardians she has no issue attacking people near her home even if they would have never entered them selves. Her home is a frozen viking/norse inpired village in Soiltas. She often reads to pass the time since she is alone a lot. When she gets lonely she calls the other guardian to talk.

Main Inspiration: Loki's three kids

Name: Terraend (Terra-end) He/him

Appearance: In disguise he is a average height dark skinned Chinese man. He has brown hair and yellow eyes. He wears a straw hat to cover his eyes and a purple and red Dragon robe on his body with open toed straw sandals on his feet. Without his disguise Terraend is made of a brown stone with glowing pure yellow eyes. He can also turn into a crystal form covering his body in crystal and having mupitle crystal eyes on his bofy.

Aura:Yes Semblance:Not yet

Magic:Earth( He can control and manipulate anything related to earth. Dirt,Sand,mud,stone, concrete and even iron but only pure iron.) Mind control(Anyone who looks into his eyes will fall under his control unless they have magic themselves or are an Arc by blood) Speed(He can boost his speed much higher than most Magiolems) Tired (he can drain people's energy though contact of his body or weapons with someone else's skin or thin clothes.)

Weapon: Terraend uses a variety of modified gardening tools. His main weapon his a flat shovel with a thick blade of gold looking metal and ruby embedded in the handle and the shovel. A steel sand rake with spikes. A hoe and scythe with sharp blades made of jade.

Other notes: Terraend guards a collection of plants being grow in Anima. His base is and old village ripped apart by grimm and then later raided by bandits. He is dismissive of anyone he is talking too or fighting. He always remains calm even when fighting muptile opponents. He is the most skilled of the active Guardians and makes that clear to people who like to brag their own achievements. He's hates the towerments on T.V because he feels in a real fight the rules they use are pointless and the champions are nothing but show ponys. He's like to make and care for Zen Gardens.(I know I made him look Chinese but it's fits other theming.)

Main Inspiration: Tsuchi from Clicker Heroes

Okay, so we have a warden for the magical experiments the Keepers hold to conduct.

Helen gives me vibes of either Demeter from Hades and Auril from Dungeons and Dragons.

Terraend's mind control power kinda reminds me of a combo of both semblances of Umber Gorgoneiaon and Jax Asturias. Him being a zen gardener sounds like a neat concept and makes me wonder if he follows Daoist or Confucian style philosophies.

To show their support and love, they write a song with the help of their bandmates.

[ashey-did-owt-wrong]

the ahse sleepign psoition make me thinking. so in this post by createor Just a random question, sorry if that sounds silly、、、 | Peing -Question Box- ahshe is secojnd least tolerant to extreme tempteratures (sirus is #1 least) so is pretty easy to cold and hot the ahse. so i think would at least litle cold. so, no blanket is probably weird.

in wilardo scenario, an ahse eeping bag.

awww litle cozy eeping! ashe have a blankie there. difference is: here ashe is sleeping with someone else in the room and maybe it's like the little kid thing where you hide under blankets because afraid of monsters...but the ahse not thinking, "whhaht if someone come insdie???" when no blanket in his own room?

in bonsu stage ashe give claire his blanket as distractation. explanation why ashe not have it, because gived calire! but why not give back? keep it whole route? does ashe give it every time? just doesn't like it? is only ashe room too hot, but sirius room is fine? most importantlty...why ashe chose blue eepy bag and not green? just kidding it's least importance.

I thank you for my first ask! Ill go over practical reasons before psychological because its easier for me

I think its interesting considering their individual rooms temperatures. Noel has one large window, Ashey one small window and everyone else lacks one. However, the air ouside could be freezing as we're flying through the air, or warm because of some magical aura. There's nowt of a way of telling. Makes me wonder about central heating, and as Sirius would be in charge, hed have it be perfect for him without bothering for anyone else. Not that hes uncaring, but he's the only to have been in this mansion for a decade.

(apologies for the naff picture)

In siriuss room, he is properly tucked in and anyone knows it gets right toasty in a sleeping bag. Methinks it could be quite cold in siriuss room, so sirius ends up warming everywhere up - including the spare rooms. By this, ashey and everyone elses rooms are warm, but siriuss is a bit cold. Everyone has their own preferred ambient temperatures too.

||||||||||| Psychological reasons now, done with practical ||||||||||

I don't believe he knows of siriuss spare keys, so he likely feels safe in his own room - he knows that he's the threat (even though he doesnt really mean to do anything bad ever). He believes he is the only one with access to everywhere else, with his lockpicks. I may be wrong, but i believe that in one of the earlier routes he is surprised to see sirius with his backup keys, going into a room trying to find noel? I may be wrong.

When he goes to siriuss room, in his sleeping bag, he is likely suspicious of him (he doesnt naturally trust anyone for owt, shown with his eating habits). He is rather childlike, mentally, as shown nearing the end of siriuss conclusion, therefore methinks he would show his feelings so.

On giving the blanket, i believe its of his guise of kindness, but shows how he almost breaks down under the stress and completely fails to remember to ask for it back. I think he, in previous loops, has given it away often to prove his kindness

Ont blue sleeping bag, maybe its his childishness and how he wants to hide when he feels exposed; choosing it the same colour as his hair in some hope of blending in.

I hope ive answered all the questions to me best ability, let me know if ive missed owt or amde any mistakes. Thanks for the ask, @guy0509

10 Foods That Promote Better Eye Health

Good eye health is essential to maintaining your overall well-being and quality of life. While regular eye checkups with specialists such as the Best Eye care hospital in Uttarakhand and Glaucoma specialist in Dehradun at Anand Netralaya are important, taking care of your vision starts with what you eat. Incorporating the right foods into your diet can help preserve your eyesight and prevent common eye conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.

Here are 10 foods that can help promote better eye health:

1. Carrots

Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that plays a critical role in maintaining good vision. Vitamin A helps protect the surface of the eye and is also known to reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.

2. Leafy Greens

Vegetables like spinach, kale, and collard greens are packed with lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that help filter harmful blue light and protect the eyes from oxidative damage. Regular consumption of leafy greens can lower the risk of developing chronic eye conditions.

3. Fish

Fish, especially oily fish like salmon, mackerel, and tuna, are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats help maintain retinal health, reduce dry eye symptoms, and lower the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

4. Eggs

Eggs are a great source of lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin E, and zinc—nutrients that are essential for eye health. The yolk in particular contains these nutrients, which can help reduce the risk of cataracts and protect against UV damage.

5. Citrus Fruits

Candy Review

Haribo Sour Streamers

When I first saw this candy on the shelf, i thought it was an off-brand. But no, its actual Haribo!

This is the only candy ive seen that completely fills its packaging. The pringles of sugar.

The flavors included are Cherry, Blue Rasberry, Orange, and Green Apple.

I like the size and texture of each streamer. Its long, which makes it long lasting, and theres a total of 20 peices! Each piece has ridges running down the side, which makes it easy to tear amd share.

Blue Rasberry

Despite being blue, I actually like this one. It's a good sour. And its still my least favorite of the 4. Its zing makes it hard to keep in my mouth for too long

Green Apple

This one is good! It feels relatively neutral, nothing notable.

Cherry

This one feels very similar to Green Apple, except sweeter. I like it more because its a red flavor.

Orange

This is my favorite of the bunch, of course, as i love orange. It is the only one which has more flavor when the sour crystals are gone.

Overall, I have been and will continue to be buying these. Its so much candy for the value.

Result: Positive.

Maintaining good eye health is essential for overall well-being, and your dietary choices play a significant role in preserving your vision. In this article, we will focus on the benefits of incorporating carrots, red peppers, kale, broccoli, collards, and spinach into your diet.

Carrots, known for their high beta-carotene content, are a crucial source of vitamin A, essential for maintaining good vision. Vitamin A helps protect the cornea and supports night vision, reducing the risk of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Carrots also contain antioxidants that shield the eyes from damage caused by harmful free radicals.

Red peppers are rich in vitamin C, promoting the health of blood vessels in the eyes and reducing the risk of cataracts and AMD. Vitamin C also aids collagen production, which is vital for the cornea's structure. Additionally, red peppers contain lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids known to filter out harmful high-energy light waves, protecting the eyes from UV damage.

Kale is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with lutein and zeaxanthin, which absorb harmful ultraviolet and blue light. These compounds are concentrated in the retina and play a pivotal role in protecting against AMD and cataracts. Kale also provides essential vitamins and minerals for overall eye health.

Broccoli, rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene, reduces the risk of cataracts and AMD. Its high fiber content can help regulate blood sugar levels, crucial for diabetic eye health.

Collard greens are an excellent source of lutein and zeaxanthin, providing protection for the retina against harmful light. The antioxidants in collards further support overall eye health by reducing the risk of eye diseases.

Spinach, brimming with lutein and zeaxanthin, is an excellent choice for maintaining eye health. These carotenoids not only shield the eyes from UV and blue light but also enhance visual function and reduce the risk of age-related vision problems.

Including these eye-healthy foods in your diet is a great step toward preserving your vision. To maximize the benefits, strive for a diverse and balanced diet with various fruits and vegetables. You can also include fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon and mackerel, known to reduce the risk of dry eyes and AMD.

Remember that a well-rounded diet, along with lifestyle choices such as UV protection and avoiding smoking, significantly contributes to long-term eye health. Regular eye check-ups with an optometrist or ophthalmologist are essential to monitor your eye health and catch any issues early. Prioritize your eye health and enjoy a world with clear and vibrant vision.

Nutritional Strategies for Eye Health

It's critical to keep your eyes healthy for your general well-being and quality of life. Nutrition is crucial for maintaining ideal eye health, in addition to routine eye checkups and good eye care. You can support good vision and lower your risk of age-related eye problems by including key nutrients in your diet. In this blog, We'll go over several important dietary tactics to improve and safeguard your eye health.

Let's read this out:

Antioxidant-rich Foods

Antioxidants aid in the fight against oxidative stress and lower the incidence of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Consume a range of vibrant fruits and vegetables, such as berries, citrus fruits, spinach, kale, and carrots, in your diet. These foods are abundant in carotenoids, such as beta-carotene and lutein, which are good for your eyes and include vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), a kind of omega-3 fatty acid, is very important for eye health. They are widely distributed in fatty fish, such as sardines, mackerel, and salmon. Omega-3 fatty acids support healthy retinal function, lessen the signs of dry eye, and guard against AMD. If seafood isn't your thing, think about including flaxseeds, chia seeds, or walnuts as plant-based sources of omega-3s in your diet.

Vitamin A

Maintaining clear vision is dependent on vitamin A, especially at night. It is essential for the synthesis of the rhodopsin pigment, which supports night vision. Include foods high in vitamin A in your diet, such as leafy greens, liver, sweet potatoes, and carrots. In addition, the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene, which is also present in a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables, has comparable advantages.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin

The carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin build up in the retina and function as antioxidants, shielding the eyes from damaging blue light and oxidative stress. Green leafy foods, including spinach, kale, and collard greens, as well as eggs and orange peppers, provide these nutrients. By including these items in your diet, you can lower your risk of AMD and preserve healthy retinal cells.

Zinc and Copper

An essential trace element for maintaining eye health is zinc. It participates in the metabolism of vitamin A and aids in the production of melanin, a pigment that shields the eyes. Oysters, meat, chicken, nuts, and seeds are all excellent sources of zinc. Contrarily, copper helps the body absorb and use iron, which is necessary for the health of the blood vessels in the eyes. To get an appropriate dose of copper, include foods like shellfish, organ meats, beans, and whole grains in your diet.

Conclusion

Including these dietary recommendations in your everyday diet will help you keep your eyes as healthy as possible. Before making any substantial dietary changes, always seek the advice of a medical expert or a certified dietician, particularly if you are taking medication or have an underlying eye disease. Long-term vision preservation also depends on leading a healthy lifestyle, abstaining from tobacco use, shielding your eyes from excessive UV exposure, and getting regular eye exams. You can support your vision and have good eyesight for the rest of your life by prioritising your eye health and making wise food decisions.
