(disappears for a month and reappears with a slightly obscure hyperfixation) Hey guys

[naffeclipse]

I've been musing over a few thoughts inspired by this ask about a mafia-ish style of Apex Polarity without it being too close to Pearl Eye, and after watching a few videos of Orcas hunting their prey (which included dolphins), landed on a sort of Mafia inspired Apex Polarity AU

Also not to add another Y/N to Orclipse's growing collection but this Y/N is a white-beaked dolphin. Look! They're so beautiful!

Sirens are cunning, brutal, and take everything with teeth and claws. The strongest kill and maim at a whim. As a siren who's not particularly strong, though incredibly agile, with a tail streamlined and dark gray with white patches, fins curved and mostly black, you're somewhere at the bottom. You're doing your best to survive and avoid trouble. You pick your battles and you pick your escapes, and most importantly, you stay alive.

But then you do something really stupid: you venture where you shouldn't have.

You don't usually swim so far up north but you're hungry, and the thought of a few tasty squids distracts you from the silent waters and vast, blue emptiness. You realize a bit too late that you're not the only one hunting.

You catch the first orca siren in the distance as a dark figure, and then another. Two who immediately cut through the water, charging straight for you like shadows. Though you turn tail and bolt, you quickly spot them in the corner of your vision. They easily keep pace, their size and strength overwhelming as they flank you on both sides, wide grins flashing their deadly teeth. You can hardly look at the mismatched color of their eyes as you dodge and weave, diving down only to be cut off by one with midnight blue colors at the tip of his flukes, and shooting off to the left just to almost be snatched by the black-bone claws of a siren with bright yellow fins framing his head.

They're toying with you. You know that for a fact in how they just barely keep back, corraling you onwards, draining your already spent energy, and picking at your panicking pulse. You have no choice but to avoid the edges of their jaws and the tips of their talons, and swim in the direction they want.

You near a field of ice floes floating on the water, and though you cut into the jagged structures dipping into the sea, the orca sirens never lose you. A desperate need for air pushes you onward. One small drop of hope still burns in your chest. Despite the aching of your muscles, you steal a gulp of oxygen and dip back down once more, charging away—

Only to run smack into a third orca siren.

This one grabs you, his burning red and orange colors filling your vision. The other two orcas join to help their kin keep you in place long enough for you to truly regret ever venturing here. Between the three of what you can only assume are brothers, hands hooked over you shoulders, claws clutching your wrists, and palms pressing into your hips, you're a fish caught in a net.

You brace for a voilent end. It never arrives. Instead of digging into your sweet meat, the sirens offer you a deal. The tips of sharp fingertips trace your jawline and the soft inside of your arms and down your slick tail while they explain.

You keep watch for human ships and report back when they're getting close, and in exchange, you get the best food you can imagine, the entire Arctic Ocean to swim, and anything else you'd like. The best benefit? You're under their protection. Of course, they expect utter loyalty from you. You are no one else's. Failure to devote yourself to this work and the brothers would mean a grisly fate, but hey, you're nothing if not eager to not be torn apart. So you agree.

You have a few questions about this whole arrangement, struggling to understand why they, powerful orca sirens, bother with a smaller fish like you when they could rip you limb from limb and be done. What's with the human ships? Why task you to this? Are you just fodder so they can keep their fins nice and unscabbed? They reassure you that they'll explain in due time (the sunny one booping your nose, much to your chagrin), but for now, all you know to know is that the human ships are a problem, and you are their solution for it. You've never really encountered humans before, but they've never really encountered sirens, or so you thought.

The burning red one lets you go, but you don't slip away too far before he tugs on your flukes and tells you to follow him. It's not a request. The darker blue one leaves for a moment, jetting away as the other two guide you to a nice resting place on an icy shore. They introduce themselves, and then their brother reappears with a squid in hand, half dead, and an insistence that you eat—they could tell during the chase that you didn't have all your energy.

And that's how you unwittingly join a very powerful pod of orca brothers who may or may not be teasing and taunting you simultaneously.

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

I swear to god, the finale made me love Tissues so so much.

Like, I didn’t really care for him before, I didnt really like that he’s just “the sick guy” and that’s all he had going for him, but I actually kinda like what they did with his character-

When he was first introduced he was boring as hell, was only there for like an episode and he didn’t really do anything. It’s pretty clear that the other characters find him weird or gross since he’s sick all the time, and I really thought that was gonna be his whole thing, but the fact that they gave him self awareness is just wonderful-

Like, he KNOWS the other characters don’t like him and there’s nothing he can do about it. His constant sickness makes the other characters uncomfortable even though it’s something he can’t change about himself. He was created to just be a joke to everyone, a poor, unfunny joke.

But in the finale the others reassure him. They don’t act as weirded out around him as before. The fact that SOAP of all people is the one to help him just means so much to me. Like, she is THE germaphobe, she will do anything in the world to avoid sickness and germs, but when she sees Tissues struggling she holds his hand through it anyways, because she cares about HIM. He’s not just a joke, he’s not just “the sick guy” anymore, he’s Tissues. Hes not defined by his disability, even if it is a part of his character. He’s a person, a real person with real personality and I think it’s so sweet how he’s changed throughout season 2. Maybe its just cause I’m neurodivergent and he reminds me of myself, but he’s genuinely one of my favorites now.

…

By the way you guys should start shipping Tissues x Soap, OKAY BYE!

It's a common thing in fanfics that firebenders run hot – slightly higher body temperature can't hurt you if you have this spirit blessing, right?

Weeeeell. This reproduction method of ours requires a slightly lower temperature for a healthy sperm. Does this mean that male firebenders have a higher chance to be infertile? Or do they have to consciously lower their body temperature to have babies?

You may have heard of those spas where the water helps with baby making. Just picture it. Fire Nation, a high enough mountain to actually have chilly weather, some cozy little cottages and a lake with cold water, with a bunch of firebenders freezing their balls off to have kids.

it is i think not one of my best but at least one of my funniest qualities that i've historically held myself together surprisingly ok in some high-stress situations, but give me a fun and relaxed night out and i'll have a polite but VERY obvious breakdown in the arms of a friendly man i've known for 2 hours saying shit like "yeah intellectually i know they love me but like it's another thing to actually feel it right" and he's like cheers to that. and then we're mutually like king what was your name again.

The fact that instead of trying to charm Normal outright, Hermie decided to be a lot like The Joker from the movie-turned-stage-play Joker. And instead of taking advantage of his disappearance to Not-Earth to steal the costume, he just followed them and found out his entire life was a lie and almost died a few times. And instead of calling it quits or just breaking into his house he spent two months telling a bunch of middle-aged strangers riddles and then followed them to biblical Hell. Legendary behavior. Operates of vampire rules and needed to be invited in. I could fix him and justify his actions but whatever’s wrong with him is a hell of a lot funnier.

thinking about nora again

I’ve seen so many people think the td cast are American (minus the American characters and the characters from other countries) when it’s been stated many times they are in fact Canadian

And as a Canadian I will make sure you know they are in fact from Canada
