Day 1 - 100 Days CSS Challenge

Welcome to day 1 of the 100 Days CSS Challenge! In this challenge, we'll bring a design to life using only CSS. Our goal is to recreate the image we're provided with on the challenge page using HTML and CSS.

On the challenge page, we see:

A small preview of the design we need to replicate.

A starter HTML template.

A submission form to showcase our work alongside others who have taken on the same challenge.

Let's dive into the process step by step.

Step 1: Screenshot the Image

The first thing I always do is take a screenshot of the target design. Even if the design includes animation, having a static reference helps me focus on the basic structure and colors. Here’s the screenshot of the design we’re aiming for:

Step 2: Extract the Color Palette

Next, I identify the color palette that we'll need. This helps ensure that we maintain consistency with the original design. Here’s the color palette I’ve created:

Step 3: Identify and Create the Image Elements in HTML

Now that we know the colors, I break down the elements in the image:

Background: This is a linear gradient.

The 100 number: This is the main challenge, and it will require some work.

Text: “days css challenge,” which we’ll place to the left of the number.

Here’s the HTML structure for these elements:

<div class="frame"> <div class="center"> <div class="number"> <div class="one-one"></div> <div class="one-two"></div> <div class="zero-one"></div> <div class="zero-two"></div> </div> <p class="sentence1">days</p> <p class="sentence2">css challenge</p> </div> </div>

Now that the elements are in place, CSS will bring them to life.

Step 4: Bringing the Elements to Life with CSS

Linear Gradient

To create the background, we’ll use a linear gradient. Here’s a basic syntax:

background: linear-gradient(to <direction>, <color-stop1>, <color-stop2>, ...);

Parameter 1: Direction/Angle

This defines the starting point of the gradient. You can either specify a direction (e.g., to top, to bottom) or an angle (e.g., 90deg, 180deg).

Direction options:

to top

to bottom

to left

to right

If you want more precision, you can specify angles:

0deg: Gradient starts from the top.

90deg: From the right.

180deg: From the bottom.

270deg: From the left.

You can also combine two directions, specifying both horizontal and vertical movements, like to left top or to right bottom. This means:

The first keyword (left or right) controls the horizontal movement.

The second keyword (top or bottom) controls the vertical movement.

For example:

background: linear-gradient(to left top, red, blue);

This gradient starts at the bottom-right corner and transitions toward the top-left.

Parameter 2: Color Stops

Color stops define how the gradient transitions between colors. Each color stop specifies a point where a color starts or ends. Here's an example:

background: linear-gradient(to right, red 10%, blue 90%);

This means:

The element starts at 0% fully red.

By 10%, the transition from red begins.

Between 10% and 90%, there is a smooth blend from red to blue.

At 90%, the transition to blue is complete, and the remaining part is fully blue.

Once we understand the concept, we can apply the background we need. In our case, the gradient flows from the bottom left to the top right, so the code will look like this:

background: linear-gradient(to right top, #443DA1, #4EC3C9);

Bonus: Stacking Multiple Linear Gradients

You can also apply multiple gradients on top of each other:

background: linear-gradient(180deg, #f00, #0f0), linear-gradient(90deg, #ff0, #f0f);

Step 5: Making the "100" Number

Creating the Zeros

We start with the zeros. These are simply circles created using CSS. To make a full circle, we use border-radius set to 50%.

The white border gives it the appearance of the number zero.

.zero-one, .zero-two { position: absolute; height: 100px; width: 100px; border-radius: 50%; border: 24px solid #fff; box-shadow: 0 0 13px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2); }

This gives us a nice circular zero. We adjust their positions using properties like left and top, and manage the z-index to make sure the zeros stack correctly.

.zero-one { z-index: 8; left: 17px; } .zero-two { z-index: 6; left: 100px; }

Now both zeros are positioned, and they overlap in the way we want.

Creating the "1" Number

The number "1" is made of two div elements:

One-One: This part represents the slanted part of the "1".

One-Two: This is the straight vertical part of the "1".

What make the one-one element slightly slanted is

transform: rotate(50deg);)

the one-two is created simply with a little height and width nothing too particular then it is placed directly on top of the slanted part, giving us the full "1". Its z-index tho has to have a higher value than the slanted part of our 1 to ensure it stays above the slanted one.

Step 6: Adding the Text

For the two sentences “days” and “css challenge,” the styling is basic CSS. You can achieve the look with just a few font changes, some padding, and adjustments to font size. It’s as simple as:

.sentence1,.sentence2{ text-transform: uppercase; margin:0; padding:0; } .sentence1{ font-size:82px; font-weight:700; } .sentence2{ font-size:25px; font-weight:700; margin-top:-20px; }

And just like that, we’ve completed day 1 of the 100 Days CSS Challenge! Each part of the design is carefully crafted using CSS, giving us the final result.

Happy coding, and see you tomorrow for Day 2!

LIFE-FIBER HUNTER

A returning MOSTLY post-canon Ryuko Matoi. Est. 2014. A traveling vagabond and a fighter on a mission. (Or a delinquent school girl, if that's more your style.)

Indie | Semi-selective | Almost anything goes 18+ on account of Mun pushing 30 Please read [About] and [Rules] OR hit "Read more" if you're on mobile.

[Permanent Starter Call]

[Mun's art for the blog (tag)]

You are highly encouraged to go on the desktop version and read all of this in detail, however here's a brief rundown for mobile users, for the sake of convenience:

Muse: Ryuko Matoi from Kill la Kill, post-canon AU (other verses available, see below). 25 y.o., traveling Life-Fiber hunter (which gives her reasons to meet all kinds of characters).

Mun: Is very much of age, been roleplaying in various ways for like 15 years and then some.

Rules (in short):

No sexual NSFW here.

Anything goes, from one-liners to novel, from crack to crossovers to angst and blood. (apart from point one in this list.)

Don't overthink it, just shoot me an ask or tag me. Or message me. I'm very chill.

If you want other verse than the default post-canon, pls specify when interacting. Otherwise she will react within those parameters. To canon muses as well, she'll assume you're 8 years older or (if gone during the plot) a trick of some kind.

Sometimes I accidentally write too much 'cause I got too into it. Don't feel like you have to match me. And do tell me if it gets overwhelming.

Godmodding: if you godmod or powerplay me, you give me the right to do it right back. My muse's abilities are powerful and specific enough for that within the basic canon. You've been warned.

Abilities:

[FULL PROFILE HERE (pls click)]

Fast regeneration, super-strength and durability, but not infinite, she can die. Life-Fiber absorption (makes her stronger). Can harden her hands into claws, if need be, but it takes some effort. Can potentially drink blood at a crisis dying point, but would rather not to.

Bonus canon abilities are reserved to be used in case of exceptional crisis (see: godmodding/powermodding or pre-planned over-the-top threads).

Important headcanons:

Aroace (there's plenty an explanation on desktop). (This doesn't mean no shipping. Just a certain kind of shipping.)

While traveling crashes at friends' places chaotically when available. Especially likes to enter Satsuki's home through a window, 'cause it's fun to friendly bicker.

Talks to Senketsu out of habit, after one too many Life-Fibers absorbed she can actually hear him talking back.

Got her scissor blades back, since what else do you fight LF with. At some point had to absorb them too, which now lets her harden her hands into claws... but not for long. It's tiring.

Is down for not traveling alone sometimes, as long as you can handle yourself. Or if you are Mako.

WILL freak out if meeting Ragyo, Nui or Junketsu!Ryuko. (Can use this for angst.)

Verses:

Verse 1: Life-Fiber hunter Years after the finale, there's a sudden resurgence of Life-Fibers all over the globe due to power-hungry people going into willing contact with them. As the only creature on Earth still capable of going toe-to-toe with them (and not quite managing the "normal" life anyway), Ryuko steps up. Now travels around searching for the things and fighting them. 25 y.o.

Verse 2: OG anime Ryuko Matoi is a transfer student at Honnouji Academy trying to find out who killed her dad. You know the drill. (Mun can attempt doubling for Senketsu if need be.) 17 y.o.

Verse 2.5: Pre-canon Ryuko Matoi is a punk-ass student who can't make a friend to save her life and fights everyone on account of chronically not fitting in. Walking trouble. 14-16 y.o.

Verse 3: Cyberpunk AU (2077/Edgerunners inspired) Basically the canonical events, but slightly aged up and converted for the setting. A high-class corpo school, a loner nomad with a dead father, a corpo-bitch who experimented on hooking her own children up to Blackwall. Life-Fibers are rogue AIs, goku uniforms are implants, Senketsu is a friendly AI and Ryuko doesn't know that she's a digital construct of a dead teenaged stuffed in a highly chipped body. She's also trying not to think too hard about living at the house of an unethical ripperdoc. 18 y.o.

Down to discuss other AUs or crossover multiverse-style.

Paladin: Oath of the Ancients (5.5e)

The Oath of the Ancients is as old as the first elves and the rituals of Druids. Paladins who swear this oath cherish the light; they love the beautiful and life-giving things of the world more than any principles of honor, courage, and justice. They adorn their armor and clothing with images of growing things—leaves, antlers, or flowers—to reflect their commitment to preserving life and light in the world.

These Paladins share the following tenets:

Kindle the light of hope

Shelter Life

Delight in Art and Laughter.

Level 3 Nature's Wrath: As an action, you can expend one use of Channel Divinity to conjure grasping spectral vines around nearby creatures. Each creature of your choice that you can see within 15 feet of you must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be Restrained for 1 minute. A Restrained creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Level 3 Oath of the Ancients Spells: The magic of your oath ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified below you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.

Level 3: Ensnaring Strike and Speak with Animals

Level 5: Misty Step and Moonbeam

Level 9: Plant Growth and Protection from Energy

Level 13: Ice Storm and Stoneskin

Level 17: Commune with Nature and Tree Stride

Level 7 Aura of Warding: Ancient magic lies so heavily upon you that it forms an eldritch ward, blunting energy from beyond the Material Plane; you and your allies have resistance to Necrotic, Psychic, and Radiant damage while in your Aura of Protection.

Level 15 Undying Sentinel: When you are reduced to 0 Hit Points and not killed outright, you can choose to drop to 1 Hit Point instead, and you regain a number of Hit Points equal to three times your Paladin level. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Additionally, you suffer none of the drawbacks of old age, and you can’t be aged magically.

Level 20:

As a Bonus Action, you can imbue your Aura of Protection with primal power, granting the following benefits for 1 minute or until you end them as a Bonus Action:

Diminish Defiance: Enemies in the aura have Disadvantage on saving throws against your spells and Channel Divinity.

Regeneration: At the start of each of your turns, you regain 10 Hit Points.

Swift Spells: Whenever you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 action, you can cast it using a Bonus Action instead.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by expending a 5th-level spell slot (no action required).

Spell Slots

Ensnaring Strike is a level 1 Conjuration spell unique to Ranger. Casting Time is a Bonus Action which you take immediatately after hitting a creature with a weapon. Range is Self Requires a Verbal Component Duration is Concentration up to 1 minute.

As you hit the target, grasping vines appear on it, and it makes a Strength saving throw. A Large or larger creature has Advantage on this save. On a failed save, the target is Restrained until the spell ends. On a successful save, the vines shrivel away, and the spell ends. While Restrained, the target takes 1d6 Piercing damage at the start of each of its turns. The target or a creature within reach of it can take an action to make a Athletics check against your spell save DC. On a success, the spell ends. Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot: The damage increases by 1d6 for each spell slot level above 1.

Speak with Animals is a level 1 Divination spell for Bard Druid Range and Warlock. Casting Time is 1 action or it can be cast as a ritual Range is self Requires a Verbal or Somatic component Duration is 10 minutes.

For the duration, you can comprehend and verbally communicate with Beasts, and you can use any of the Influence action's skill options with them. Most Beasts have little to say about topics that don't pertain to survival or companionship, but at minimum, a Beast can give you information about nearby locations and monsters, including whatever it has perceived within the past day.

Misty Step is a level 2 Conjuration Spell for Sorcerer Warlock and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 Bonus Action Range is Self Requires a Verbal Component Duration is Instantaneous.

Briefly surrounded by silvery mist, you teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

Moonbeam is a level 2 Evocation spell unique to Druid. Casting Time is 1 action Range is 120 feet Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component Spell Ingredient is a Moonseed Leaf Duration is Concentration up to 1 minute.

A silvery beam of pale light shines down in a 5-foot-radius, 40-foot-high Cylinder centered on a point within range. Until the spell ends, Dim Light fills the Cylinder, and you can take a Magic action on later turns to move the Cylinder up to 60 feet. When the Cylinder appears, each creature in it makes a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d10 Radiant damage, and if the creature is shape-shifted (as a result of the Polymorph spell, for example), it reverts to its true form and can't shape-shift until it leaves the Cylinder. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage only. A creature also makes this save when the spell's area moves into its space and when it enters the spell's area or ends its turn there. A creature makes this save only once per turn. Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot: The damage increases by 1d10 for each spell slot level above 2.

Plant Growth is a level 3 Transmutation spell for Bard Druid and Ranger. Casting Time is 1 Action for Overgrowth or 8 hours for Enrichment. Range is 150 feet Requires a Verbal and Somatic component Duration is Instantaneous.

This spell channels vitality into plants. The casting time you use determines whether the spell has the Overgrowth or the Enrichment effect below. Overgrowth: Choose a point within range. All normal plants in a 100-foot-radius Sphere centered on that point become thick and overgrown. A creature moving through that area must spend 4 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. You can exclude one or more areas of any size within the spell's area from being affected. Enrichment: All plants in a half-mile radius centered on a point within range become enriched for 365 days. The plants yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested. They can benefit from only one Plant Growth per year.

Protection from Energy is a level 3 Abjuration spell for Cleric Druid Ranger Sorcerer and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 action Range is Touch Requires a Verbal and Somatic component Duration is Concentration up to 1 hour.

For the duration, the willing creature you touch has Resistance to one damage type of your choice: Acid, Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder.

Ice Storm is a level 4 Evocation spell for Druid Sorcerer and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 action Range is 300 feet Requires a Verbal and Somatic component and spell ingredient is a mitten Duration is Instantaneous.

Hail falls in a 20-foot-radius, 40-foot-high Cylinder centered on a point within range. Each creature in the Cylinder makes a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 2d10 Bludgeoning damage and 4d6 Cold damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Hailstones turn ground in the Cylinder into Difficult Terrain until the end of your next turn. Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot: The Bludgeoning damage increases by 1d10 for each spell slot level above 4.

Stoneskin is a level 4 Transmutation Spell for Druid Ranger Sorcerer and Wizard. Casting Time is 1 action Range is Touch Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component and spell ingredient is Diamond Dust worth at least 100 gold pieces which the spell consumes. Duration is Concentration up to 1 hour.

Commune with Nature is a level 5 Divination spell for Druid and Ranger. Casting Time is 1 minute or it can be cast as a ritual Range is Self Requires a Verbal or Somatic component and Duration is Instantaneous.

You commune with nature spirits and gain knowledge of the surrounding area. In the outdoors, the spell gives you knowledge of the area within 3 miles of you. In caves and other natural underground settings, the radius is limited to 300 feet. The spell doesn't function where nature has been replaced by construction, such as in castles and settlements. Choose three of the following facts; you learn those facts as they pertain to the spell's area: • Locations of settlements • Locations of portals to other planes of existence • Location of one Challenge Rating 10+ creature (DM's choice) that is a Celestial, an Elemental, a Fey, a Fiend, or an Undead • The most prevalent kind of plant, mineral, or Beast (you choose which to learn) • Locations of bodies of water For example, you could determine the location of a powerful monster in the area, the locations of bodies of water, and the locations of any towns.

Tree Stride is a level 5 Conjuration spell for Druid and Ranger. Casting Time is 1 action Range is self Requires a Verbal and Somatic Component Duration is Concentration up to 1 minute.

You gain the ability to enter a tree and move from inside it to inside another tree of the same kind within 500 feet. Both trees must be living and at least the same size as you. You must use 5 feet of movement to enter a tree. You instantly know the location of all other trees of the same kind within 500 feet and, as part of the move used to enter the tree, can either pass into one of those trees or step out of the tree you're in. You appear in a spot of your choice within 5 feet of the destination tree, using another 5 feet of movement. If you have no movement left, you appear within 5 feet of the tree you entered. You can use this transportation ability only once on each of your turns. You must end each turn outside a tree.

feeling silly,, so same shy mc being great at speeches? specifically impromptu and debate speeches :D mc feeling all proud with their powerful voice and standing their ground ykyk? (brothers reactions to specify!)

The Demon Bros When Shy MC Is a Great Speech Giver

Lucifer

• When he found out from Diavolo that you were chosen to give a speech for the start of RAD’s new division on the human world, he had mixed feelings

• He knew you could do it, but was worried about the worst case scenarios

• What if you got nervous? Or people couldn’t hear you? Or they made fun of you for talking softly?

• Diavolo would hear none of it, so he told you that night of the job you’d been chosen for

• You shared his fears, but as he heard them leave your mouth, he saw how silly they were

• “MC, I honestly had the same fears, but hearing them from you, I realize that there isn’t a better human he could have chosen for the job”

• “But Luci, what if I say all the wrong things?” you look into his eyes, comforted by their warm familiarity

• “First of all, we can rehearse until you can say the speech in your sleep. And if there are any demons that have a problem with it, they’ll have me to answer to”

• When the day of the speech finally comes, you do better than you or Lucifer could have ever imagined. You get a standing ovation, and Lucifer twirls you in a hug when you greet him

Bonus: He congratulates you in his own way later that night ;)

Mammon

• You have to give a speech in one of the classes you and Mammon are in together, and despite his protests, the professor refuses to let anyone work in pairs

• “Yer gonna be alright, MC. The Great Mammon will help yah, and yah can just look at meh when yer presentin’”

• You agree, and end up spending a majority of the coming days preparing with him

• After practicing behind a podium, on your own, and pointing to your slides while talking, you finally feel prepared for the big day

• Mammon goes before you, and you watch with a smile on your face as he spends the whole five minutes telling the class about different types of literature in the Devildom

• You get up to go next, and give Mammon a sly fist bump as you walk to the front of the class

• After clearing your throat, you proceed to give the best presentation of the class (deemed so by your professor and Mammon)

• He hesitates for just a moment before showering you in compliments, of which a few include giving himself partial credit)

Leviathan

• As president of the human world club, you aren’t a stranger to speaking in front of others

• But when you’re tasked with introducing your group during RAD’s next assembly, you start to wonder if this was more than you bargained for

• “How am I supposed to introduce learning about humans to an auditorium full of demons? The reason half of them don’t kill me on the spot is because they’re afraid of Lucifer!”

• Levi listened carefully, and when you stopped your worried ramble and sighed, he put his hands on your shoulders

• “MC, take a deep breath” he instructs, and you obey

• “Your club members will be on stage with you, right? So you won’t be alone. Feel their presence with you on stage while you’re talking, and look for Lucifer and Diavolo in the front row for comfort. You’ll be okay”

• You nodded, picturing yourself in that moment, and agreed

• “Yeah, you’re right. I won’t be alone, that’s really what matters”

• When the day comes, your nerves melt away as you follow Levi’s advice, finding your friends in the crowd and even inviting your club members to stand in line with you, rather than behind

• You do great, and Levi throws you a small celebration in his room that night where you watch the latest episode of the anime you’re watching together and snack

Satan

• He acts surprised when you say you’re nervous to present a summary of your first x years in the Devildom to a panel, but you can tell he’s surprised too

• “I get why it’s needed, I guess, I just don’t get why it has to be such a big ordeal. I’d much rather write a paper about it or just tell Diavolo in a meeting”

• “I agree, but there’s nothing we can do about it,” he puts a hand on your arm, “But I’ll do anything I can to help you prepare”

• You thank him, and work on a draft of your speech while he reads a book about human speech writing. You didn’t know how he even found a book abut that, but were greatful

• Within a few hours you had a draft ready, and walked to where Satan was sitting to read it to him

• He looks up, and your eyes glance at the title of his book. A light blush crosses both of your cheeks, but you ignore it as you sit next to him and read

• For the rest of the day you work on perfecting it, and surprisingly, you had a pretty solid draft by the time Lucifer hunted you down for dinner

• When the day of your meeting came, Satan walked you to the doors, and hugged you before you walked in

• As suspected, he listened in on the whole thing, and when you walked out an hour and a half later, he greeted you with a smile

• “MC! You did great! Especially answering the follow-up questions they asked, you sounded confident!’

• He definitely bragged to his brothers about how amazing you did

Asmodeus

• He was just as surprised as you were when Simeon came with a message that Michael wanted to hear about your time in the Devildom

• And that you’d be staying for a few days

• You we’re relieved that Simeon and Luke would be with you, but you spent the days until you left with Asmo, trying to figure out how to describe your activities in the Devildom to *the* Michael

• “Just be honest, he’ll be able to tell if you’re lying, after all. And anything you don’t want to be completely truthful about, you can tell a half truth”

• You spend a bit practicing half truths, using examples of parties or late night rendezvous that you didn’t think Michael would want to know about

• You were only gone for a few days, but Asmodeus was more worried than he expected himself to be at your absence

• He spent most of the time in his bath, trying to soothe his nerves

• When you finally returned a few days later, you and Simeon spent an exciting dinner filling Asmo in on how you perfectly told Michael exactly what he wanted to hear

• He gave you a big hug, and the next day you were treated to a bath, massage, face and body scrub, or anything else your heart desired

Beelzebub

• You honestly could have cried when he asked you to talk in his human world cultures class because you were his family and there wasn’t anyone he’d rather present with than you

• You remembered that he’d talked to you before about your voice, so one day while preparing you asked if he was sure he wanted you to present with

• “MC,” h turned to look at you, “like I said before, you’re family to me, and an actual human. There’s no one I would feel more confident in or comfortable with than you”

• Again, you could be brought to tears by Beel’s words

• You nod, “Okay, I just wanted to make sure. Thank you, Beel” you say as you give him a kiss on the cheek

• You practice and practice, even presenting to the rest of the brothers the night before your presentation to get audience feedback

• The day comes, your confidence building off of each others, and you can tell the other demons and professor are engaged and enjoying your presentation the whole time

• After class, Beel gives you a high five and congratulates you. “Really, MC, I knew we’d do well, but I’m so happy with how it turned out” :)

Belphegor

• He asks you to talk to Lucifer about what he and the brothers were planning for his birthday, since even you’d been left out of the details

• You accept the mission, and spend a bit preparing how to get Lucifer to reveal information without realizing it

• When you both think you’re ready, you walk to Lucifer’s office and knock

• For two hours you chat with him, dancing around the topic of Belphie and what the plans were for his birthday, Lucifer refusing to say a single thing

• Eventually you scowl at him, curse him for being so tight lipped, and leave

• You jump when you open the doors and Belphie is standing right there, but laugh a bit when you realize he’d been listening in the whole time

• “Well, MC, we tried. You really spoke up, too. I wasn’t expecting such a powerful performance, but if Lucifer won’t give in at that, I doubt he would for anything”

• You laugh, “Thanks, Belphie. I gave it my all, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens”

• You walk back to his room together, debating if any of the other brothers would have information they’d let slip, or if Lucifer’s punishment for digging would be more harm than it was worth

—

A/N: I don’t know why I decided to give each brother a unique situation for MC to be giving a speech in but it happened lol

@heytheredeann basically tied me to a chair and forced me at knifepoint to read banana fish (that is false, she started posting gifs/screencaps/edits/etc. from the anime, the manga coincidentally appeared one day as a "top 5" on the home page of the site where i read manga, i fell for it like the dumbass that i am) and now that i've (finally) finished the series (hence the mass liking of posts, in case you were wondering, sorry about that), i'm reading fic (as is required), and it's great and all but...oh my god. jesus fucking christ. i can't believe i used to be this annoying.

dear people who write english fics of japanese series:

the story is set in japan. i know that. you've explained that. unless otherwise specified, the characters are speaking japanese (or english, as the case may be; bonus points if the pattern of speech makes it clear which is which for bilingual characters).

do not. do not. do not throw random (romanized) japanese words into your otherwise english narrative.

(especially if you spell them wrong. but also especially if you don't.)

#that fandom life #the series i'm reading now includes 'kaa-san' 'nii-san' 'tadaima' and 'okaeri'#i take psychic damage every time #-1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp -1hp #the misspelled word was お母さん #it was in a different fic #they spelled it 'okasan' and i was like 'who the fuck is that'#seriously these fics are wonderful but oh my fucking god #and yeah i used to be this annoying too #...when i was a teenager on ffn in the early 2000s #but i genuinely think that we as a society should have grown out of this phase by now

Kalee’s Ecosystem & Economy

So I recently read the legends Grievous source material in case I was missing any neat little details. (I have been working off the Wiki for *checks watch* like 2 years now, which cites this source.) The only thing I have elected to uh bend the definition of is the authors repeatedly calling Kalee barren.

EU Authors: Kalee is a barren planet

Kaleesh: Kalee is barren to *YOU*. We know her resources. [Millions proceed to die in economic fallout lol]

Anyway, here is a 1k word think piece on why I think Kalee is inhospitable or savage in nature & economically insignificant, therefore described by outsiders as desolate or barren. Then how it is that the Republic embargos caused famine.

I think Kalee was in the midst of an ecological boom, in fact. The planet is covered in mostly ocean & jungles with a lot of room for animals to specify. Unfortunately, at some point it stopped being a free-for-all & it became a race. Animals were having to out-evolve their predators that were in turn trying to out-evolve everything else. This is how, by the time of modern Kaleesh, most of the accessible fish had become too toxic, bony, or otherwise dangerous to eat. The jungles were much the same & gave rise to many predators.

When the yam’rii arrived on Kalee, despite the ominous warnings or lack thereof from the rest of the system, they tried for a while to find any exploitable resource. Their many expeditions, some more ill-fated than others, eventually delivered disheartening data. The oceans were plagued by storms & inedible, dangerous creatures. Most if not all of the planet’s animals couldn’t be reliably farmed en masse. All of Kalee’s jungle flora & fauna had very specific adaptations making them dangerous to cut down & impossible to reliably export as exotic. The rock of the planet was brittle & also did poorly in space cargo. Any seams of minerals were sparse & unreliable. The northern mountains were impassable & even the winds on the steppes were not predictable.

All in all, a total loss for any industrial scale profit. The only things that seemed to do well on the planet were its primitive native sentients: The Kaleesh. The Kaleesh were low on the civilization scale, with no developed technology of their own to speak of. However, the Yam’rii noted that Kaleesh were very hardy, capable of learning, hardworking, & they did make a lot of themselves. Bonus: they laid eggs, which the Yam’rii might literally kill each other for. So, with enthusiasm, the Yam’rii switched from expedition mode to specimen collection mode. The Kaleesh were not the first people that they would round up to sell on the galactic slave market, nor would they be the last.

Needless to say over just two generations the population of free native kaleesh plummeted considerably. It took the kaleesh a while to catch on because they were just minding their own business doing kaleesh things (killing each other & hunting). Some yam’rii would even trade with tribes & communities before striking them.

When Grievous & the Izvoshra really got going not only did they force yam’rii off the planet, they also freed all of the imprisoned kaleesh they could find. Once the yam’rii became scarce the kaleesh population had a bit of a boom while Grievous extended his wrath to nearby planets. Any kaleesh freed from off-world colonies either joined the warlord’s army or went back home. Most of the planets Grievous descended upon were grateful for the assist & opened up trade with the kaleesh. There was almost a decade of trade & population flourishing while their god of war pursued the bugs back to their home planet.

And then the Republic did the thing. Nearly all extraplanetary trade was cut off & what wasn’t was taxed heavily. Kalee’s neighboring planets, while some remained grateful, none were willing to stick their necks out for them in opposition to the Grand Republic. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back for Kalee’s economy, tied tightly to their ecology. Kaleesh could only trade what they could make & they could only make so many.

The creeping desperation for food & goods to hold up communities with bloated population quickly led to scarcity & starvation. The smugglers that Grievous could convince to go that far out found kaleeshi goods sold quite well as exotic & many would form poaching gangs, further exacerbating the problem. The Intergalactic Banking Clan showed up & made a lot of promises, scaring most of the smugglers away.

Still, many kaleesh populations & native animals became extinct during this time. Many warlords saw no choice but to return to raiding their neighbors & there was a sharp rise in cannibal cults. Surviving kaleesh were largely malnourished & would succumb to things that, before, could be recovered from. Things like egg delivery, illnesses, & serious injuries. While they had benefitted from off-world stims & bacta kits in the years before, they were cut off from modern medicine abruptly. At least it hadn’t been so long as to lose traditional practices but still. Not a great time to be on Kalee.

Older kaleesh became even more xenophobic, crediting the opening of trade to this era when kaleesh began taking more than they needed from the land to please the outsiders. On the other hand, younger kaleesh became more inclined to find work off-world. During the Imperial era Kalee was recovering & still trying to find balance.

Augh. I tried so hard not to write this, you have no idea, because it's bound to be long (oh yeah, it got long!) and it's such a minor detail/tangent anyway it's probably not worth the time it will take to read, but I am irresistibly compelled because it relates to a Motohashi-sensei story and those get a +2 nostalgia bonus to compulsivity plus another point per 5 years since I saw him last (in 1993).

About that "legibility" complaint.

I'll save the Motohashi-sensei story for the end as the least-relevant info, like a good little once-I-got-out-of-an-English-composition-course-by-doing-tech-support-for-the-journalism-students... uh. Noun.

But the thing is. Okay. Look, first off, it's perfectly fucking legible!

Google's translation here is absolute shit, and my facility with the -ou conjugation isn't enough to make up for the lack of context, but it's clearly "Nana-chan" (person's name, person being a peer and female, likely but not assuredly a fellow student or something?) "mo" (a particle that means, more or less, "also") "kayoubi ni" ( "on Tuesday", where kayoubi is Tuesday, but I had to use kanji instead of the kana the writer used, in order to make Google translate notice that and stop trying to turn "kayoubi" into particles that grammatically wrecked the translation) "asobo" (which is more properly "asobou", the verb for "play" plus the future "might happen" or "let's do" conjugation that can be used for anything from "it might rain" to "let's go to the dog park" including cases where "let's do" is actually a gentle imperative, "YOU do", like "gambarimashou" for "work hard /do your best!" Uh. )? That sentence got out of hand.

Anyway, you can see why Google kind of chokes on translating, because it might be "let's include Nana-Chan also when we play on Tuesday" or it might be "Nana-chan will be joining us for playing on Tuesday" or it might be the case that Nana-chan is the name of an animal or plushie to add to Tuesday's existing playtime plans, or. ??? It's an out-of-context snippet of an existing conversation in a language that relies on context most of the time to specify who's doing what to whom or to what (except when it gets really specific because it's changing contexts). And I'm just not experienced enough with the nuances of using that conjugation to make up for lack of context in such an extraordinarily context-dependent language. And I'm not well versed in casual Japanese. And I've never used it as a child, so I don't know the specific kind of casualness children inject. And so on.

But legible? Yes, completely so. Proper? No, not quite. But I see kana used for magazines and book covers that are warped in far less legible ways that give me trouble even determining whether I'm looking at hiragana or katakana or even kanji, let alone what they say.

There are minor points. That first letter that's repeated, for "Nana" (なな)? The loops are way too big and they're rounded in the wrong place, flattened on top instead of on the bottom left. The "mo" (も) has fallen over on its side in an adorably clumsy way that suggests its rounded bottom is difficult to balance on (creative! cute! and written quite clearly to be unmistakably recognizable that way). The "ka" (か) of "kayoubi" has its little extra bar crossing through the right leg instead of floating to the upper right of the main structure. (Maybe that helps prop it up so it doesn't share mo's fate?) The "so" (そ) is practically a formless scribble (but I still had zero trouble knowing it could only be "so") and the top bar of the right half of "bo" (ぼ) is floating so far above the rest of the letter that it did actually give me pause wondering if there was a "-ba" (ば) conjugation usage I just don't know (as opposed to ones I do).

But like. I'm rusty on kana, at least rustier than I'd prefer to be, and the only thing that gives me real trouble is the very last word, written in parentheses, which I assume is probably a signature and which also looks like it uses a kanji often found in girls' names (子) preceded by two letters that are kind of confusing. The first letter looks like "o" except it uses a... Call it a diacritical mark? That only consonants* get. That circle to the right of it turns "h" into "p", for example. Is this a cutesy way the writer used of personalizing her name that has no effect except aesthetic, like anglophone girls who dot the "i" in their names with a heart? Maybe. I don't know. I was never a young Japanese girl. In fact, I only ever got to third semester Japanese. My Japanese is just not that good. And yet I find everything except the probable signature perfectly legible.

So legibility is a clear fig leaf for the real complaint.

(here ends all relevance to the main post)

* There aren't consonants as letters in Japanese writing.** There are syllables that are just vowels and there are syllables that are a consonant followed by a vowel, so it's really that "ha" (は) becomes "pa" (ぱ) while "hi" (ひ) becomes "pi" (ぴ) and so on.

** Except for "n", which is found in the whole typical "na ni nu ne no" (なにぬねの) series of syllables but also as just "n" (ん), which is arguably not quite the same letter/sound but I promised myself I'd stop this tangent here and most people don't make that distinction anyway, possibly because they never met Motohashi-sensei.

Anyway, here's the Motohashi-sensei story.

First week of class. First day: Sensei passes out the syllabus, reads it out loud, and warns us that Japanese is very, very hard for English speakers to learn, that he is a very strict and sometimes outright mean teacher, and that half of us will have given up and dropped the class by the end of the second week.

Second day: He passes out a handout listing sixteen basic social phrases (hello, please, thank you) in romaji (the Roman alphabet, you know, the one we can actually read, being only in our second-ever Japanese class) for us to memorize and then warns us that learning kana starts the next class period. He says that by the end of next week we will be expected to read and write solely in hiragana until we can use katakana and kanji where appropriate and we will never see nor use a single letter of the Roman alphabet in a Japanese word in his class ever again, forever, on penalty of his extreme wrath.

At the start of the second week, our third Japanese class, he tells us that the thing he hates most about teaching Japanese to English-speaking teenagers is our atrocious handwriting. (He really is actually pretty brutal about it, and a couple of students end up trying to file complaints later.) We're lazy, we're apathetic, we're uneducated, we're just generally disgraces, he says, and he doesn't feel like facing down the aspirin bill we'll drive up giving him headaches with our chicken scratches (a quotation; he later told me he learned that English phrase specifically for insulting students' handwriting in this little speech of his) so he's gone to a lot of trouble and expense and called in a huge favor to have a friend come all the way from Japan for a week to teach us to write hiragana "properly".

Then he introduces a Japanese woman who is a renowned enough calligrapher her work hangs in museums. He talks for about ten minutes on her many professional accomplishments and emphasizes to us not only that her presence in our classroom is a tremendous honor but that we categorically do not deserve it, will never understand the honor well enough to truly appreciate it, that HE doesn't deserve it, and that she is possessed of a personal generosity previously thought only to exist in the saints and saint-equivalents of various world religions to take the time and effort to grace our grubby little hands with her brushes. (She seems embarrassed by all this praise and breaks in a couple of times to argue with him.)

We didn't know enough yet to understand it, but this was in fact our first Japanese lesson. Not just the culture; this kind of thing is baked into the language. He established an in-group, his students and himself, to put down, and an out-group, the guest, to praise. She responded entirely as protocol demand by demurring. Learning to recognize and engage in that is a requisite skill to speak Japanese with any fluency, let alone navigate a conversation as a nuanced social interaction.

The students who didn't get offended by it were the ones he predicted would do well with the language. The ones it drove away were the ones he didn't think would continue past, or even finish, the first semester. And that man spent money on us. In large amounts (for appropriate purposes!), regularly, out of his own pocket, for things like guest speakers and so, so much more, including our final exam. (Which is my all-time favorite Motohashi-sensei story.) So please forgive him for wanting to winnow out early all the students he predicted would just drop the class anyway.

After the introduction, she passes out large sheets of thick paper, little cups of ink, and these giant brushes.

And teaches us to... paint?

It's an art style called sumi-e ("ink pictures"), a pretty distinctive style which you've almost certainly seen before.

(Shutterstock photo, contributed by Natali Mias)

In fact, a bamboo composition a lot like this was the first thing we learned to draw. Then we worked on drawing (very, very bad) birds.

Sumi-e is, at least in its foundations, an extremely structured style that uses only a handful of basic brushstrokes -- I think we learned four -- almost algorithmically, or like Legos, kind of like those "learn to draw" books that teach you to look at something like a cat's face as an assemblage of circles, rectangles, and triangles. The brushstrokes are really easy to learn. The art enters into it when you try to make four different kinds of brushstrokes look like breeze-tossed bamboo, or a whole entire bird. We were... Mostly not artists that day.

That was it. That was our third Japanese language class. Luckily, neither our bamboo nor our birds were graded.

For our fourth lesson, we get handouts of this gridded paper (the same kind Japanese kids use to practice kana and kanji) and plain wooden pencils. We're told that from that day forward, we will never use pen in Motohashi-sensei's class, because only pencil (and never mechanical pencil, either!) could reproduce the nuances of a brushstroke.

Then we learn how to build those four basic brushstrokes into hiragana.

All the hiragana.

In one day.

There are 46 of them. (Not counting the ones where you add extras like for turning "hi" into "pi").

Our fifth lesson opens the third week of class. From then on, we go entirely without romaji, as promised.

And also, as predicted, without about half the initial students. 😅

So look, it's true, Japanese really is hard for English speakers to learn, especially if we're used to thinking all other languages are going to basically be Romance languages like Spanish or Italian that share grammar and a lot of vocabulary with English. But sensei seemed to be intentionally making it even harder than it had to be, deliberately, for no reason we could understand then except maybe simple sadism.

I did eventually understand why he was so harsh, and at the end of about 30,000 more words I could explain exactly why he did that and why it made him the greatest teacher I've ever known, the one who had the most profound positive impact on my life that not just any teacher but any single individual outside my immediate family and intimate relationships has ever made. And if I wrote them all and you read them all, you'd understand, too.

But also you might want to hunt me down and put Legos in the dark hallway between my bedroom and bathroom every night for the rest of my life if I did that here. So instead you'll just have to take my word for it. It was masterful harshness. Also? An odd, unfamiliar sort of affection.

And the result was that I have Japanese handwriting that native speakers still compliment 30 years later, not just "Hey, that's great for a foreigner!" but "Whoa, my handwriting isn't that good! Where did you learn to write like that?" And that's 30 years of not really practicing much most of the time. And not just in hiragana, but in kanji and katakana as well, because both kinds of kana are based on kanji, and kanji are based on Chinese hanzi, and hanzi are written with a standardized set of brushstrokes that...

...Are used in sumi-e.

Motohashi-sensei's specialty was historical Japanese. It was like getting a Chaucerian scholar trying to teach ESL (English as a Second Language) courses. He had this compulsion to rewind back to the origin of everything he taught to make sure we got the foundation correct. (He would never tell us which kanji he used for his name, but I've always secretly believed the "moto" absolutely must be 元 -- not just because it's common that way, but also because he had to get to, and start from, the root of everything.) But for students willing to follow him on that whole meandering journey to the finish line, the benefits were incredible.

Anyway, the paradoxical effect is that although my handwriting benefitted incalculably from his unexpected teaching method, it also left me with certain expectations about how Japanese characters will be built, structurally, which means I have slightly more trouble reading them out in the wild than I might otherwise.

And this Japanese girl's handwriting is almost perfectly legible to me.

Uh. So there. Nyah!

[ETA: Ha ha, all that and I still got bits of it wrong. "Mo" is actually "be", so it's to Nana-chan: "Let's play on Tuesday." I was right about my limitations, though; there's a pattern of character alteration I didn't pick up on.]

Auxillary Levels

With the GM’s approval, you have the option of gaining an auxiliary level whenever you advance in level after 1st, instead of gaining a level in your current class. An auxiliary level follows the general rules for multiclassing and might require that you meet a prerequisite before taking it. Sometimes these prerequisites are class features which you must gain from a base class, and some are narrative prerequisites that you must work with the GM to accomplish before taking the class.

HIT POINTS AND HIT DICE Like any base class, auxiliary levels grant you additional hit points and Hit Dice. You add together the Hit Dice granted by all your auxiliary classes to determine your pool of Hit Dice.

PROFICIENCIES AND LANGUAGES An auxiliary level specifies if it grants additional proficiencies or languages when you take it. Your proficiency bonus is always based on your total character level, not your level in a particular class.

Animal Master With patience or a bit of magic, you have trained an animal companion to accompany you on your adventures. Few people can become fast friends with a wolf, but it’s hard to undervalue their teeth in a brawl. Prerequisite: 3rd level Hit Dice: 1d10 Hit Points: 1d10 (6) + your Constitution modifier Skills: Animal Handling BEAST COMPANION Choose a beast that is no larger than Medium and has a challenge rating of 1/4 or lower. Add your proficiency bonus to the beast’s AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point maximum equals the hit point number in its stat block or four times your character level, whichever is higher. Like any creature, it can spend Hit Dice during a short rest to regain hit points. The beast obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes its turn on your initiative. On your turn, you can verbally command the beast where to move (no action required by you). You can use your action to verbally command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, or Help action. If you don’t issue a command, the beast takes the Dodge action. If you gain the Extra Attack feature or another feature which allows you to attack twice when you take the Attack action, you can make one weapon attack yourself when you command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated or absent, the beast acts on its own, focusing on protecting you and itself. The beast never requires your command to use its reaction, such as when making an opportunity attack. If the beast dies, you can obtain a new companion by spending 8 hours training and bonding with a beast that isn’t hostile to you and that meets the requirements.

Buffoon People assume you’re not very bright. Sure, you stumble sometimes and you forget words, but you’re not dumb! No matter what all those eggheads say. When all else fails, you’ve always got a cutting observation or a really mean name in your back pocket, so they never get the last laugh. Prerequisites: None Hit Dice: 1d8 Hit Points: 1d8 (5) + your Constitution modifier Tools: One musical instrument of your choice BONUS CANTRIPS You learn the vicious mockery cantrip and one additional cantrip of your choice from the bard spell list. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. TAUNT You can use your bonus action to mock a creature within 15 feet of you. If the target can hear you and it understands at least one language, it has disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes against a creature other than you before the end of its next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. I MEANT TO DO THAT When you roll a 10 or lower on the d20 roll for an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Clandestine Caster Discretion is the better part of both valor and incredible arcane might. With some canny trickery, you’ve learned to hide your magic in plain sight, where you might pass as a mighty but otherwise unremarkable warrior, until the moment when you have the upper hand. Prerequisites: Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature Hit Dice: 1d6 Hit Points: 1d6 (4) + your Constitution modifier Skills: Arcana or Deception SPELLCASTING This auxiliary level counts as a level in your Spellcasting or Pact Magic class for the purpose of determining your available spell slots. However, it doesn’t advance your spells known and prepared. For example, if you are a Wizard 2/Clandestine Caster, you have four 1st-level spell slots and two 2nd-level spell slots, but you only know 1st-level spells. INVISIBLE CANTRIPS When you cast a cantrip that requires a spell attack roll, you can disguise its casting (including its spell components) and effects as if it were a melee weapon attack. To do this, you must be holding a melee weapon, and must target a creature within 5 feet of you. You don’t have disadvantage on this spell attack roll for a hostile creature being within 5 feet of you. The effects of the spell are completely invisible, appearing as if you instead delivered a mighty blow with the weapon. SUBTLE SPELL You can cast a spell without any somatic or verbal components. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Courier A trader, a smuggler, or merely a messenger, you have been tasked with traveling to and fro delivering parcels, and have become quite adept at it. You’re quick on your feet and have a second sense for navigation matched only by sailors and compass salesmen, and you carry those advantages with you in adventuring. Prerequisites: Have been employed as a courier, messenger, navigator, smuggler, or trader Hit Dice: 1d8 Hit Points: 1d8 (5) + your Constitution modifier Languages: One of your choice Tools: Cartographer’s tools, navigator’s tools, one musical instrument of your choice ABLE NAVIGATOR You can’t become lost except by magical means. BEELINE Once on each of your turns, you can take the Disengage action as a bonus action. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Dexterity modifier, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. HUSTLE When you take the Dash action, your speed increases by an additional 30 feet.

Cultist A dark pact, a black, leather-bound tome, and your fellow hooded acolytes: these are your clearest memories of your indoctrination to the cult, before your mind started to unravel. No matter which terrible, extradimensional being your secret society is dedicated to, its teachings have revealed enigmas of the universe to you and laced your every thought with paranoia. Prerequisites: Have joined a cult or gained one or more Indefinite Madness traits Hit Dice: 1d8 Hit Points: 1d8 (5) + your Constitution modifier Languages: One chosen randomly be the GM Skills: Arcana SPELLCASTING This auxiliary level counts as a level in your Spellcasting or Pact Magic class (if you have a level in such a class) for the purpose of determining your available spell slots. However, it doesn’t advance your spells known and prepared. For example, if you are a Wizard 2/Cultist, you have four 1st-level spell slots and two 2nd-level spell slots, but you only know 1stlevel spells. BONUS CANTRIPS You learn the eldritch orb cantrip and one additional cantrip of your choice from the warlock spell list. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells. CONSPIRATORIAL You have advantage on saving throws you make against effects which would charm you or cause madness. LUNATIC INSIGHT Whenever you make an ability check that doesn’t include your proficiency bonus, your unique insight allows you to make connections which may or may not exist. If the d20 roll for the ability check is even, you add your proficiency bonus to the check.

Dragon Acolyte Dragons strike awe and fear into mere mortals who gaze upon them. Many flee in terror, but a few fall to their hands and knees, pledging themselves to their new draconic masters. Such dragon acolytes learn to emulate the great beasts, and eventually to capture a semblance of draconic that might. Prerequisites: Allied with a dragon or an aspect of the dragon god Hit Dice: 1d10 Hit Points: 1d10 (6) + your Constitution modifier

DRACONIC ALLIANCE When you gain this level, you become allied with an ancient wyrm or an aspect of the dragon god, who grants you a fraction of their power. You gain resistance to the damage type associated with your dragon, as shown on the Draconic Alliance table. BREATH WEAPON When you take the Attack action, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC equals 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). A creature takes 2d8 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Alliance on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. This damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (3d8), 11th level (4d8), and 17th level (5d8). Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until it recharges. Roll a d6 at the start of each of your turns; the ability recharges when you roll a 6. CLAWS AND BITE You can manifest claws and teeth of crackling draconic magic, which are natural weapons that you can use to make unarmed strikes. On a hit with them, you deal 1d6 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Alliance. You can choose to deal slashing damage with the claws or piercing damage with your bite. If you already have natural weapons, you can choose to deal the type associated with your Draconic Alliance instead of its normal damage type.

Expert Diligent research and practice has paid dividends. Through months of effort, you’ve mastered new crafts, honed your skills, trained in combat, or even improved your book smarts. Prerequisites: None Hit Dice: 1d8 Hit Points: 1d8 (5) + your Constitution modifier Tools: One type of artisan’s tools Languages: One of your choice Skills: Choose any two SPELLCASTING This auxiliary level counts as a level in your Spellcasting or Pact Magic class (if you have a level in such a class) for the purpose of determining your available spell slots. However, it doesn’t advance your spells known and prepared. For example, if you are a Wizard 2/Expert, you have four 1st-level spell slots and two 2nd-level spell slots, but you only know 1stlevel spells. EXPERTISE Choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. TRAINING You gain proficiency in any three simple or martial weapons of your choice. Additionally, you gain proficiency in light armor. If you already have proficiency in light armor, you gain proficiency in medium armor instead.

Hedge Wizard Unlike ordinary wizards who learn their craft through extensive research and formal training, you discovered arcana on your own, reading what you could find and uncovering deeper magic through experimentation. Self-education is not without its merits, however, for you have become exceptionally well versed in the most fundamental spells: cantrips. Prerequisites: Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature Hit Dice: 1d6 Hit Points: 1d6 (4) + your Constitution modifier SPELLCASTING This auxiliary level counts as a level in your Spellcasting or Pact Magic class for the purpose of determining your available spell slots. However, it doesn’t advance your spells known and prepared. For example, if you are a Sorcerer 2/Hedge Wizard, you have four 1st-level spell slots and two 2nd-level spell slots, but you only know 1st-level spells. CANTRIP SAVANT You learn three cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. Use your spellcasting ability for these spells. POTENT CANTRIPS You can add your spellcasting ability modifier to the damage you deal with any wizard cantrip.

Priest Though you have not been granted the divine purpose of an adventuring cleric, you have nevertheless been ordained as a priest to one of the many gods. Your lot is that of a quieter life with the church: conducting services, looking after your congregation, performing community rituals, and other administrative duties. Even when whisked off into adventuring, your posture is that of an unassuming reverend, not an evangelizing cleric or crusading paladin. Prerequisites: Must be ordained by some faith Hit Dice: 1d8 Hit Points: 1d8 (5) + your Constitution modifier Skills: Religion SPELLCASTING This auxiliary level counts as a level in your Spellcasting or Pact Magic class (if you have a level in such a class) for the purpose of determining your available spell slots. However, it doesn’t advance your spells known and prepared. For example, if you are a Wizard 2/Priest, you have four 1st-level spell slots and two 2nd-level spell slots, but you only know 1stlevel spells. BONUS CANTRIPS You learn the spare the dying cantrip and one additional cantrip of your choice from the cleric spell list. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells. CHANNEL DIVINITY You gain the ability to channel divine energy directly from your deity, using that energy to fuel magical effects. You start with two such effects: Faith Healing and Turn Undead. When you use your Channel Divinity, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Channel Divinity again. Some Channel Divinity effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. Faith Healing. As an action, you can present your holy symbol and touch a willing humanoid creature to mend its wounds. The creature rolls a number of d8s equal to half your level (rounded down) and regains that many hit points + your Wisdom modifier. This feature has no effect on undead or constructs. Turn Undead. As an action, you present your holy symbol and speak a prayer censuring the undead. Each undead that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

Pugilist Where other warriors equip themselves with swords and axes, you use your bare knuckles and a poor disposition to bring down your foes. You’ve mastered this unarmed killer edge through hand-to-hand bouts for prize money, pride, or freedom. Prerequisites: None Hit Dice: 1d8 Hit Points: 1d8 (5) + your Constitution modifier Skills: Choose one from Athletics or Acrobatics HAND-TO-HAND Your body is a single deadly weapon, more dangerous and versatile than any sword or arrow. You gain the following benefits: • Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage. This damage increases to 1d8 when you reach 5th level, 1d10 when you reach 11th level, and 1d12 when you reach 17th level. • When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can use your bonus action to add an extra unarmed strike damage die to the damage roll. THICK-SKULLED When you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage while you have half your hit points or fewer, you can use your reaction to roll a d6 and reduce the damage taken by the number rolled. The damage reduction increases to 1d8 when you reach 5th level, 1d10 when you reach 11th level, and 1d12 when you reach 17th level. TOUGH REPUTATION You have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks you make against humanoids that have watched you engage in combat.

Relic Keeper Be it a family heirloom or a recovered artifact, you have come into possession of a mysterious weapon. Though its iron is rusted and its wood is stained with blood, an unseen power weights its swing, and you can feel an intelligence echoing within it. Once you bind with it, the weapon is linked with your soul, and it grows in power as you do. Prerequisites: None Hit Dice: 1d10 Hit Points: 1d10 (6) + your Constitution modifier SENTIENT WEAPON When you gain this level, you acquire a sentient magic weapon that bonds to your very soul and grows in might as you do. Your weapon is your choice of any martial weapon that lacks the Two Handed property. Once made, this decision can’t be changed. You can use your action to summon your sentient weapon to your open hand. You are proficient with it while you wield it. Magic Weapon. The weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. When you reach 5th level, your bond with the weapon strengthens, and you gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. At 11th level, your bond strengthens further, and you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with the weapon. Relic Magic. Your relic weapon has 3 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn. When you use the Attack action to make an attack with your relic weapon, you can spend 1 of its charges to make an attack using it as a bonus action. Additionally, whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, you can siphon some of the energy into the weapon. The next time you hit a creature with the weapon during the next minute, you deal bonus force damage equal to twice the spell’s level. Sentience. The weapon is a sentient magic item with an alignment and personality determined by the GM. It has an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 14, and a Charisma of 14. The weapon has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet, and it can speak, read, and understand Common, as well as communicate with you telepathically.

Sellsword Blades-for-hire, mercenaries, sellswords; they go by many names. As a somewhat veteran sellsword, you’ve learned that mercenary work is a volatile business from which only the cautious and cunning can hope to profit. You might have established a set of personal rules or superstitions, or simply gathered a raft of tricks to give you the edge when life and death (and profit) are on the line. Prerequisites: Have completed at least one contract for mercenary work Hit Dice: 1d10 Hit Points: 1d10 (6) + your Constitution modifier BONUS PROFICIENCIES You gain proficiency with the battleaxe, longsword, trident, and warhammer. BATTLE TACTICS You learn maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called battle dice. You have two battle dice, which are d6s. A battle die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended battle dice when you finish a short or long rest, or when you roll initiative. Once per turn, you can expend a battle die to perform a maneuver of your choice. Maneuvers. You learn two maneuvers of your choice from among those available to the Captain class or those available to the Grey Watchman subclass of the warden class. Saving Throws. Some maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice) BREATHER You can take a breather, 1 minute of downtime during which you compose yourself and mend your wounds. When you do so, you can spend one Hit Die to regain hit points as if you finished a short rest. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Scoundrel Whether you made some dastardly friends, discovered a love for illicit substances, or merely decided that the law shouldn’t stand in the way of making some coin, you’re in deep with the criminal underworld. You can probably keep your criminal ties under wraps, but you can’t stop looking over your shoulder for fear that the authorities, or worse, your friends might come calling. Prerequisites: Have joined a criminal organization Hit Dice: 1d8 Hit Points: 1d8 (5) + your Constitution modifier Tools: Thieves’ tools Skills: Deception, Sleight of Hand, or Stealth THIEVES' CANT During your training you learned thieves’ cant, a secret mix of dialect, jargon, and code that allows you to hide messages in seemingly normal conversation. Only another creature that knows thieves’ cant understands such messages. It takes four times longer to convey such a message than it does to speak the same idea plainly. In addition, you understand a set of secret signs and symbols used to convey short, simple messages, such as whether an area is dangerous or the territory of a thieves’ guild, whether loot is nearby, or whether the people in an area are easy marks or will provide a safe house for thieves on the run. QUICK DODGE As a bonus action, you can evade the attacks of a creature you can see within 5 feet of you. Until the start of your next turn, you have a +2 bonus to your Armor Class against that creature’s attacks. You must be unarmored or wearing light armor to use this ability. CRAVEN When a creature you can see misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to move 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.

Circle of the Shepherd Ranking

Guide:

1=useless

2=often useful

3=sometimes useful

4=perfect

Speech of the Woods 4 a free language and constant Speak with Animals. Not always useful but wonderful for a Druid to have and helpful if you’re summoning beasts because you can talk to them to gain information about things that they may have seen allowing you to use beasts as effective disposable scouts. As an example you might summon a bunch of low CR beasts with Conjure Animals hope for things like rats crows or other small common animals and send them to scout an area and report back to you

Spirit Totem 4 powerful and versatile and as a bonus action it’s usable without cutting into your spellcasting

Bear Spirit 3 if your party is on the defensive this is a good way to get some temporary hit points onto your allies. If you have a grappler in the party or if you’re facing an enemy that grapples your party Advantage on Strength checks is fantastic. However the temporary hit points only apply when you first create the spirit so its effectiveness diminishes quickly in most cases. This is also very helpful if you summon numerous low CR creatures. The temporary hit points apply to all allies in the area, so if you have 8 summoned hyenas or something they’re suddenly much more durable and can soak considerably more damage which might otherwise be directed at party members. Your summons get the benefits of Advantage on Strength checks too but most creatures that grapple have an attack that grapples automatically. Still you may be able to command them to grapple by normal means which may be more effective since they have Advantage

Hawk Spirit 3 your go to option in most cases especially if you don’t plan to flood combat with summoned creatures. As a back line spellcaster you can use your largely ignored Reaction to grant Advantage on an attack roll. If you have a Rogue in the party this is an easy way to get Sneak Attack. For other party members it’s just a nice buff that you can grant once per round but as Extra Attack comes online it will feel less impactful

Unicorn Spirit 3 If you’re taking a short rest and haven’t already expended Spirit Totem use this before your rest to get some extra healing. The spell you cast doesn’t need to be anything fancy it just needs to be a leveled spell that restores hit points. Healing Word works for example and it’s a great way to trigger this repeatedly. It’s unclear if spells like Goodberry or Healing Spirit are intended to work since they don’t immediately heal a targeted creature when you cast the spell but they do restore hit points so RAW I think it works. This is an exciting option when you have numerous summoned creatures because the additional healing doesn’t have a cap on the number of targets. If you have a small army of summoned creatures you can heal them for free stretching the benefits of your spell slot.

Mighty Summoner 4 one of the biggest problems with summoned creatures is that most can’t overcome damage resistance or immunity to non magical attacks. This solves that issue and also makes your summoned creatures slightly more durable so that you get some more mileage from your spell slots. However the new summon spells introduced in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything don’t appear to have hit dice so they don’t appear to benefit from the additional hp. All creatures should have hit dice and you might argue that they have a number of hit dice equal to the spell level used to summon them but we haven’t gotten an official answer on the subject so discuss it with your DM before making any assumptions. Summon Draconic Spirit which follows the same mechanics as other Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Summon X spells specifies that the spirit has one hit die per spell level, which seems like a very reasonable way to handle that

Guardian Spirit 4 with this and Mighty Summoner you can make Conjure X spells last for an exceptionally long time even while in combat even if you don’t plan to use Unicorn Spirit to get free healing for your summons

Faithful Summons 3 at this level CR 2 creatures aren’t likely to win a fight for you even with the benefits of Mighty Summoner but they might keep enemies at bay long enough for your party to come to your rescue. The language is fairly clear that you can’t trigger this willingly so unfortunately you can’t tell your allies to beat you unconscious to get free summons though they could technically decide to do so on their own so long as you weren’t willingly going along with their plan. This also uniquely allows you to select the beasts which you summon which is weird since Conjure Animals doesn’t normally allow that. I recommend Giant Constrictor Snake because its attacks can grapple your foes and buy you more time for your allies to rescue you. But Giant Boar is hard to kill thanks to Relentless, and Polar Bear’s attacks are really good without needing to run around and leave your unconscious body defenseless

Hi!! Could I ask for “Look at me. Breathe, there you go.” From the prompt list (I believe it’s number 8) with either Sevika or Silco? Bonus points if y/n is having a anxiety attack (as someone who suffers from them). I’d love to see that caring side!

↞“Look at me. Breathe, there you go.”↠

Freaking gold for my Silco brainrot. I’m sorry if it’s short and it’s not perfect, but even today I had an exam (but I wanted to adhere to one-prompt-a-day). This one is special, you can literally hear Silco in the last part... Because I added the audio! It is a paid cameo from @madmizchyf The requests are open, send me a prompt either at your choice or from one of the two lists, specifying with which character you want it!

↠Word count: 860 ↠No use of "y/n", gender neutral reader (no pronouns for the reader) ↠List: hurt/comfort (n.8"Look at me. Breathe, here you are." ) ↠Pairing: Silco x gn!reader (not explicitly Romantic, it’s okay for anyone who needs to hear the Kingpin console them) ↠Tw: Description of a Panic Attack

↠If you have any requests, ask the devil.↞

The lights are too strong.

You feel them as if they are piercing your skull, intense, with colors so saturated that pinch an indefinite point in your behind your nose, getting you a growing start of a terrifying sense of nausea. It’s inside your head, it makes your brain itch until it hurts just to keep your eyes open.

And the music is no less, it fills that place making it even more asphyxiating: you feel it in your intestines, it goes back to tightening your stomach in a vise, fondling your diaphragm making it tremble to the rhythm of the bass, and enveloping possessive lungs.

You can’t breathe at all.

There is not a glimmer of air in that prison of flesh and excess, not a single inch of space between the crowd dancing drunk, screaming, letting the unnatural lights illuminate their faces deformed by adrenaline and only-god-knows-what substance.

The room around you starts to spin, your fingers tremble, and you find yourself sinking fingernails and fingertips into your own flesh in order to maintain control, remain conscious, aware that hell will not spare you if you fall to the ground.

You sweat.

You lift your eyes to the ceiling in desperate search of the familiar handrail while with such a slowness that makes you go crazy a drop of sweat runs an invisible path from the forehead to the tip of the nose.

You are struggling, you are struggling like an animal that clings to life to keep control, and as soon as the slightest space between people’s bodies on the dancing opens up you shoot, pushing people away without looking back.

You don’t have time, you’re suffocating, you’re dying. Cross the space that separates you from the office of the Eye of Zaun with the impetuosity and despair of a man who after spending forty days in the desert sees an oasis for the first time.

You don’t knock, don’t have enough strength to do it, just open the door wide and close it behind you quickly, trying to push away the noises, the light, the smell of alcohol, the screams, the smoke, the intermittent darkness, the bodies that crush against each other.

Your body is heavy and you can’t resist gravity anymore, falling to the ground: knees clenched to the chest, the door behind your back as the only support, shield against the world that rages mercilessly out there, voracious, ravenous.

The only thing you are trying to find with your gaze is Silco, but tears make it difficult to focus on the elements of the room, and you perceive only a blurred silhouette approaching, accompanied by the ticking of the boots.

You try to raise your arms, no matter how pathetic that gesture may be, you need comfort, a safe place to take refuge, and that man’s chest tastes like safety, like home.

But your arms don’t respond.

You just want to cry louder, open your mouth wide and scream, but the air is thin and your body remains motionless, silent in letting tears run through your cheeks.

As long as man’s thumbs do not gather them in a delicate caress, a light contact like the morning breeze but strong like a hurricane. His is a delicate gesture, he lifts your face just enough to make you meet his two-tone eyes -a combination of sidereal ice and fire of the deepest meanders of hell.

"Look at me. Breathe, there you go."

He takes a deep breath, then a second, slow, until almost instinctively you begin to imitate him, filling the lungs with air all the way; only then he leaves your face sitting in turn with his back against the door; with one arm he wraps your shoulders as he places the other under his knees, picking you up to hold you in his arms, in an almost religious silence.

You breathe deeply, the smell of his cologne is mixed with that of cigars in a mixture so familiar that you finally get back in control, first little by little, then all of a sudden.

And you start crying.

It is more a liberating cry than a desperate one, the arms of the man that seem to isolate you from the chaotic and evil world allow you to be fragile, to cry in that place where if you show weak hyenas and vultures are ready to pluck you to the bones.

And he staysquiet.

His fingers gently caress your head, moving behind your ears some tufts in a gesture affectionate and respectful: he is waiting for you to be completely vented, he is waiting that all the anger, fear, anxiety you carry inside you have found a way to manifest themselves, without forcing you to suppress emotions, and you cannot help but hold onto him even more.

"I know sometimes your mind is unquiet, but it’s okay, it will be okay. Nothing is either as good or as bad as it seems at the time. Breathe..."

Your heart tightens in a vise as his lips rest on one of your temples, letting them touch your skin in a caress when they open to talk.

"breathe."

Character Tropes That I Need More Of, in no particular order:

A person wearing a cloak/hoody/etc that is so oversized you can't really tell if there's a person inside, let alone their gender. Bonus points if it's never specified if it's actually a person or just a haunted cloak.

SunshineXgrump duo but the sunshine is either equally or more destructive

Nice old people who are in the ambiguous territory between old and eldritch and are definitely Not Entirely Human but nobody minds because they're the found family's grandparent and give great advice.

Cute animals which have a secret Destruction mode. Bonus points if their appearance doesn't change at all, they're still as cute, just a little soaked with the blood of their defeated enemies

The "clueless" and "naive" person who is actually very smart, just not in a neurotypical way, and the rest of the group grows to acknowledge that and respect them

Non-human beings being weird about their gender in a queer manner

Overly dramatic bitches that are extra about absolutely everything and their tired friend/partner.

Hey! Thank you for asking all this; these are great questions.

How does an individual find out their nonhuman identity?

Questioning is a whole Process for everyone. Some are lucky, and have a thunderclap moment where everything falls into place near-instantly. Most of us don't experience that. For most of us, it boils down to a process of introspecting on our own experiences (often including journaling them to help with that) and comparing notes with both records of potential kintypes and the experiences of other nonhumans to see what matches up and what doesn't. For more details, I recommend starting with this post from @/aestherians and this post from @/shadowfae, and I have a "questioning" tag with more such posts and discussions if you want to browse that. Having a connection to a species may be a start, but is rarely enough on its own to make someone identify as that species - though I'll never say never to the possibility.

Could one identify themselves as non-human but also not believe in the literal soul or any spiritual beliefs?

Yes! Many do. Many, as you mentioned, identify as nonhuman for psychological reasons, and a portion of the community have explanations for their nonhumanity that don't fall into either category (spiritual or psychological, I mean). Ultimately, the explanation for why you're nonhuman is secondary to the fact that you're nonhuman for most of us.

I’ve seen a few people compare their non-human dysphoria(?) as similar to gender dysphoria and/or uses gender dysphoria as an example to better explain their non-human dysphoria. (I know non-human identities have nothing to do with gender, unless they specify) I can understand specific things to a point but I’m curious for the other experiences and reasons might one identify as non-human.

Poppy's post linked above has a great list of common otherkin experiences, which I'll copy over for posterity:

Species dysphoria - A deep sense of unhappiness from not being of the correct species. Can include having a different body, being perceived a different way, and being treated a different way to what you feel you should be.

Species euphoria - A deep sense of joy from being of the correct species. Can include modifying your body, dressing up and being perceived and treated like the correct species.

Shifting - A change in perception that makes you feel more like your kintype. There are many different kinds of shifts: https://aestherians.tumblr.com/post/164797991209/

Phantom limbs - Feeling like you have the body/body parts of your kintype

Memories/noemata - Remembering or ‘just knowing’ things about your kintype’s life

Instincts/urges - Reactions and actions that you don’t really think about, but that are very similar to those of your kintype

Wishing you were nonhuman - Self-explanatory

Dreams - Dreams where you are your kintype or are living your kintype’s life or interacting with your kintype

Homesickness - Longing for places or time periods or situations that you’ve never been in in this life

Self-perception - Picturing yourself as your kintype in your mind’s eye, drawing yourself as your kintype when you try to draw a self portrait, always playing as something resembling your kintype in games, etc.

How does one know that they have multiple non-human identities?

Admittedly I'm not polykin (the shorthand for someone with multiple kintypes), but the same way one knows that they have one nonhuman identity, I presume. Rinse and repeat the questioning process, sometimes with bonus questioning of "is this really two different species, or is it a chimerical mix of the two that's a single entity?" I'm not an expert on how to unravel that question, unfortunately.

How does one find out they have mythical identity such as a dragon?

Again, the same way you question an earthly animal/plant, really. Look at your experiences, write them down, see what picture starts to form out of the pieces, compare to accounts of various creatures and to other dragons' experiences, see what lines up and what feels right. ("Dragon" specifically is such a broad term that almost anything that doesn't fall into a different preexisting category could be considered a dragon if the word feels like it fits to that individual - draconity really comes down to "if you feel like the word dragon is useful to you, then use it".)

How does one find out they’re fictionkin?

I'm not fictionkin, but I've got this whole list of explanations and descriptions from people who are which may be helpful to you.

Do some individuals with vague feelings and connection to a nonhuman identity label themselves as otherkin even if they don’t have experiences such as non-human “dysphoria” or experience phantom attributes like wings, horns, etc?

Yep. There is no "you must have this many of the common experiences to be valid" bar.

Could an individual who doesn’t believe in souls, still manage to identify as non-human because they feel like they’re non-human in their “soul” despite them not actually believing in the soul?

Who am I to tell you you're wrong about your own identity? (Although I'd really like to know what that means to you, since obviously you don't mean it in a literal way or that wouldn't make any sense. But that's me wanting to know in a curiosity way, not me wanting to know in a Judging Whether You're Valid way.)

Do non-human’s try out labels to discover what feels right?

If they're not, they're making their questioning process needlessly harder. Trying out labels is a normal and healthy part of the questioning process basically no matter what you're questioning.

Even if the individual feels non-human but can’t figure out which non-human identities/identity they are?

Again, who am I to tell you you're wrong about your own identity? Many of us come to the conclusion of "I don't know what I am, but I know it's not human/not fully human" before they figure out their specific kintype(s). And I've met a few aspecies people as well - people who don't identify as any species, and are thus nonhuman without being any specific nonhuman thing.

Do some non-humans identify as non-human because that individual strongly desires to be non-human?

As they say, wanting to be something is often a symptom of being that thing. There's really not that big a difference between "I am this" and "I want to be this" and "I should be this." They're almost synonymous for most people.

Like how otherkin can include mythical creatures while theiran does not include mythical creatures.

I know this wasn't a question, but as a side note, this actually isn't necessarily true; the "earthly animals" thing was a definition that got floated around for a while, but it wasn't originally what the word meant, and the original distinction - that being, otherkin includes sapient beings, therian is animals, including mythical or fictional animals - has been making a comeback over the last few years. Dragon therians used to be a very common thing. I know @indornaga did a whole presentation on this, though I'm not sure if it ever got put into a written format and if it did I can't find the link, so hopefully dei can help with that.

What are aldern-(insert identity here) identities?

My understanding, which is admittedly loose, is that aldernic identities are specifically about the physical aspects of things - wanting to have a different body, typically in a nonhuman way. Here's a wiki page, since I can't find the original coining post (not hyperlinked so Tumblr doesn't hide this post in the notes): https://mogai.miraheze.org/wiki/Aldernic

What’s otherhearted?

Otherhearted refers to someone who identifies strongly with, but not as, a creature, character, thing, etc. This can manifest as feeling like they should be, but aren't, their hearttype; feeling like their hearttype is family; or otherwise feeling a deep sense of connection to their hearttype. Here's my tag for that, which is mostly informational posts and people talking about their specific experiences. (There was also a comparison between one person's fictionkin and fictionhearted experiences in that post with a list of links regarding fictionkin experiences.)

Otherhearted is another identity under the alterhuman umbrella - alterhuman being a term that refers to any identity that's "alternative to human or an alternative way of experiencing humanity (as compared to societal norms)," which is exactly as broad as it sounds and covers many, many things including but definitely not limited to nonhumanity.

Hope this helps! Happy to answer more questions if you have 'em. :3

I have a question for otherkin/fictionkin/therian/alterhuman/nonhuman communities. I’m still pretty new in my understanding of these terms and I was wondering how does an individual find out their nonhuman identity? I understand that one may find their non-human identity through spirituality or psychological experiences. I want to better understand that though, more so the psychological side.

For example, would a dog-kin person identify as a dog because they feel like they have a special connection to dogs? Could one identify themselves as non-human but also not believe in the literal soul or any spiritual beliefs?

(Like let’s say one identifies as a dog because they feel like their “soul” is a dog but also not believe in the belief of a soul?)

How does one know that they have multiple non-human identities? How does one find out they have mythical identity such as a dragon? How does one find out they’re fictionkin? Do some individuals with vague feelings and connection to a nonhuman identity label themselves as otherkin even if they don’t have experiences such as non-human “dysphoria” or experience phantom attributes like wings, horns, etc? Could an individual who doesn’t believe in souls, still manage to identify as non-human because they feel like they’re non-human in their “soul” despite them not actually believing in the soul? Do non-human’s try out labels to discover what feels right? Even if the individual feels non-human but can’t figure out which non-human identities/identity they are? Do some non-humans identify as non-human because that individual strongly desires to be non-human?

I hope this makes sense. I know that the terms I listed above have different meanings. Like how otherkin can include mythical creatures while theiran does not include mythical creatures.

Also, one last thing. What are aldern-(insert identity here) identities? What’s otherhearted? Thanks for reading.

Put On A Show

Plot: James is apart of a ‘gentleman’s club’ that caters to the wealthy and the extremely horny

James x Fem!Reader

Word count: 2.1K

Warning: Public Sex, Cheating,

A/N: This idea came into my mind, but I promise I am working on my other requests! I just had to share this!

Men often didn’t admit that they came here, in fact half of them were married with children. But as soon as the light hit the stage and the girls started dancing it was almost as if they forgot about their families at home, the smell of tobacco and whiskey filled the red walls of the gentleman’s club. It was a smell you had grown used to over the years working here.

You could hear the chatter and clink of glasses from behind the stage while you got ready for tonight’s show, the black dress you wore was just above your thighs which gave a slight view of your ass. It wasn’t modest and you wouldn’t be caught dead wearing outside of this place, but here it made you feel like a goddess, something to be marvelled at.

‘’Y/N don’t forget to shake those hips of yours!’’ A laugh left your lips as you looked over at your boss, she was a middle aged woman with the sex drive off a teenage boy but she had retired from this type of work so decided to manage the place instead.

‘’You should join me!’’ You couldn’t help but smile at the blush that crept up on her skin, she was beautiful for her age and half the men in the club thought she was one of the dancers. Smiling softly she left you and the others to get ready, you were the youngest of the bunch but still beautiful, most men that that came in often paid for a private dance within one of the rooms upstairs. But that was saved for the most wealthy men, not just anybody.

As soon as you heard the jazz music starting you had to cut the conversation short, you and the other girls got on stage while the curtains were still closed. Some girls fixing their hair last minute or making sure their dresses were neat and tidy before getting into position, as soon as the curtains opened there was a roar of applause and some wolf whistles among the men. But you noticed out of the corner of your eye that there was a men that didn’t do either of the two, he just looked up on the stage and as soon as his eyes met yours a smirk graced his features. He was beautiful, and by the way he presented himself you could tell he was rich.

The music started to get a bit more upbeat, a few girls stayed on stage dancing but a few girls (yourself included), had to get of stage to ‘entertain’ the men off LA even further while they watched the show. You watched as one girl was almost instantly pulled down onto her knees between a gentleman’s legs and another being pulled over another’s lap for a spanking.

‘’Come sit on my lap’’ Turning around you could tell that the instruction was directed at you, the man that had caught your eye as soon as you had gotten on the stage. You couldn’t help but notice a wedding band on his finger, but non the less you did as told and straddled his legs. The wedding right didn’t even faze you, as much as you hated to admit it, you often entertained men that were already married, some came here because their wives couldn’t satisfy them at home and well others.. wanted something a little bit more adventurous than just making love in the bedroom.

James didn’t often come to such establishments as this, but after finding out that his wife had tried to get rid of the sole heir of his he couldn’t help but feel anger towards the woman. So having heard about this place was his revenge, even if she didn’t truly love him it would still hurt her image if anyone found out her husband had cheated on her with a whore, that he had fucked the life out of a woman in front of others that were here for similar reasons.

Watching him put the cigarette out his hands soon pulled down the top of your dress until your breasts were exposed, you couldn’t help but blush darkly as you heard a few wolf whistles from the other men that were getting their cock sucked. James’ warm hands cupped your breasts before soon pulling at your nipples, which made a squeal leave your lips as he did so. You could feel him getting harder between your legs, and it didn’t help that you weren’t wearing any underwear either. That was a clear instruction off of your boss.

‘’What’s your name darling?’’ Men here didn’t usually care about the woman they were going to fuck, in fact non of them had ever asked for your name before. You debated on wether you should give him your name or not, but not seeing no harm in doing so you told the man as you looked over at him. ‘’A beautiful name, for a beautiful woman.’’ Just as he spoke you felt his hand move up to your throat, tightening it ever so slightly but it wasn’t enough to make you stop breathing, but it was enough to make sure you knew who was in charge.

‘’T-Thank you sir’’ You were taught as soon as you came to work here that that’s how you addressed the men that came into the club, unless specified otherwise by the men themselves. A chuckle left James’ lips once you called him that, shaking his head slightly he spoke once more as he kept his hand around your throat.

‘’It’s Mr March to you dear’’ Humming so he could tell you understood, a growl almost like a wild animal came from his mouth as soon as James’ other hand slipped up and between your legs, your wetness coating his fingers. You felt his fingers start to tease your hole, James thumb running your clit in slow circles to tease you. ‘’Look at how wet you are already, and I’ve barely touched you yet’’ His taunting tone made your cheeks blush red, the sounds of the other men and woman moaning within the room only added to your arousal.

A loud moan poured out of your mouth as you felt two of his fingers fill your greedy cunt, the sounds of your cunt and the other noises of people getting fucked had your clench around his fingers almost instantly. As James’ fingers thrust inside you faster, he pulled your face closer to his by your throat, his hot breath stroking your face as he did so.

‘’After this, I’m going to fuck you until you’re the loudest one in here!’’ With James’ fingers still inside you, he had them make a ‘come here’ motion before adding pressure to your clit. ‘’Look at you, you’re such a desperate little whore, willing to let any man use and fuck you as he wishes’’

He wasn’t wrong, you loved your job and the fact that you got orgasms (sometimes) was an added bonus. The girl behind you had her legs up and over another males shoulders as he pounded her against the table, James noticed you watching and soon enough added a third finger to stretch your cunt even further. Crying out loudly as soon as you felt him fill you up with even more, James could feel his cock straining against his trousers, it was almost painful but he would endure it just to see you whimpering for him. You may be on top of him but you weren’t the one dominating , he had utter over your body.

‘’You think this filling your cunt, just wait till my cock is inside you!’’ Just the very thought of this man using you for his pleasure had your thighs shaking, no man had ever given it to you like this. They often only cared about their pleasure and you half expected James to have you on your knees as soon as he saw you get off the stage. He could tell you were right on the edge, your cunt was practically dripping all over him and his trousers but James didn’t care, even if he knew he had to explain this to Elizabeth when he got back to the Cortez.

‘’Are you going to cum?!’’ Whining you nodded as best as you could with his hand choking you, James’ fingers stroked along the spot where no man had ever gotten before. You had heard rumours off such a thing.. the G-Spot, as soon as his fingers rubbed against it you were screaming like someone was getting murdered, but intact all you were doing was shaking against James as your orgasm overtook you. It felt like you were going to pass out, you haven’t felt a sensation so intense as this. ‘’That’s it.. let it out dear!’’ Grinding your fingers against his hand to ride out your own orgasm, you panted softly. If this man was going to come back to the club at a later date you certainly doing to call dibs on him.

A whine of protest left your lips as the empty feeling took over you once James removed his fingers and hand from your throat, almost instantly he had moved you so you were on all fours, your front half leaning against the side of the velvet sofa. Your eyes met another girls as a male had been fucking her from the moment she got off stage, she looked absolutely exhausted. A look of sympathy was evident in her eyes as soon as she saw James pull off his trousers and briefs, you didn’t even need to ask if his cock was big because she almost looked scared for you.

As soon as you felt his cock teasing your hole you felt your legs quiver, James’ hands gripped onto your waist as he soon thrusted his cock inside you. Now you understood why the girl across from you looked so scared, he filled you up perfectly. Crying out loudly, James didn’t even give you chance to get used to his side, you were wet enough in his opinion. With his nails digging into the skin off your hips and his balls hitting against your clit with each thrust, you both were in euphoria.

‘’F-Fuck.. Mr March!’’ A grunt fell from his lips as soon as you called him that, you felt like his cock was tearing you in half but at this point you didn’t even care. He was the only man that had cared about your pleasure just as much as his own, maybe even more.

James only answered with another hard thrust, it was like all his aggression was coming out and that he was using it against you, but honestly you didn’t even mind at this point. His skin slapped against yours with each thrust, and each thrust had a moan fall from your lips. James could feel just how wet your cunt was against his cock, you were clearly making a mess but he was going to make you clean up his cock afterwards, but right now all he wanted was to pound into you until you couldn’t take anymore.

‘’D-Don’t stop!’’ Oh he had no intention of stopping, at this rate he was going to stay here for the night. The girl across from you had been forced into a new position and the very thought of your legs being forced behind your legs had you tighten around him almost instantly, James watched them as he fucked you and could tell he’s have your in the exact same position moments to come after this.

‘’Do you get off on watching other people fuck dear?’’ All you could do was nod and whimper in response as his thrusts got somewhat sloppier, you had noticed that men often lost their rhythm with their thrusts once they grew closer and closer to their orgasm. Just the very thought of James cumming inside you had your cunt tighten almost instantly, the risk of pregnancy was something you were willing to take and half the girls in here had babies off men they never saw again.

Pushing your face further down into the material of the sofa, you couldn’t help but scream loudly as you came around his cock. You felt tears fall from your cheeks at the sensation, a sob escaped your lips as your orgasm over took your body once more. Your vision started to get slightly blurry but it wasn’t enough to make you loose conciseness but just enough to make you feel hazy, James hips came to a halt as his cum soon filled up your cunt. Groaning loudly he held you there so you took every last drop,

You couldn’t even comprehend anything until you felt his cock leave your cunt, cum dripping down your thighs as he did so. Running his hand over the cum that coated you, he slipped his fingers back inside you to make sure not a single drop of his cum was wasted.

‘’Get on your back darling, I’m not done with you yet’’
