I can't even tell if any of you are acting strange because you've been replaced or because this group is full of weirdos!

a portal to hell opened in our field last night

[willow-by-the-brook]

unwittingly buried

you fear, do you that your unnoticed, shadowed self does not possess enough beauty to tickle the fancies of the fickle human mind to that, i ask you, have you seen the mist? you, the dream child of a hundred poets, you, the starlit lake that we wish to bring home with such a thoughtful mind as yours have you not marvelled at it?

you, darling sun-child, have not. had you seen the dearest mist, you would say otherwise. for every time i hear 'mist', i think of the epitome of beauty.

the mist is what all of us aspire to be. her veiled allure, beheld only by her closest, are all these not things to love? do they not enhance the preciousness of her charm?

she might seem often overlooked, seeming pointless and simply decorative - useless to your purpose; but that is the very thing that beautifies her! do you not understand this?

you, my dear moonlit fantasy, do not. for the mist is one whose beauty is so powerful that if you were to witness it head-on, you would become unable to function. because unnoticed beauty is only gone unnoticed because it is far too efficient and far too perfect to be able to tread in the forefront of human perception without causing the world to rush into uproar in fascination of it.

the mist, my dearest Persian pearl, is so unfathomably beautiful she is so dear, so charming, so darling, daring and cordial so patient, untiring, serene her beauty, already so efficient enhanced by her impermeable veil of mystique still only amounts to the beauty held in your nailbeds.

it shocks me, my dear that you seem to see yourself as nonexistent and worthless when your apparent 'unseen' beauty has such a daring effect over even the strongest of hearts

every tiny bit of you that (apparently) goes unseen is a unique, burning, shining star and you, a constellation celestial being on earth, you are so bright, so full so gorgeous, so fiery that even idly watching you would be far too much of a burden to bear.

defiance for @eggsmuses

The situation on Neomuna was readily in hand at this point- Calus was getting pushback, and...yes, Rohan was gone, but there were more Guardians arriving to fill the gaps left by him (manpower-wise, at least). Gale was told to take time off- his inability to use this new power was finally acknowledged by Osiris. He couldn't just do nothing, as much as he'd love to- it was his duty both as Seraphim and Guardian to do all he could to defend humanity. So, to the EDZ he went. To the Farm, to the effort to protect the people on Earth.

To Mara Sov.

He was able to keep his feelings in check, of course, he was a professional. Having other familiar faces around helped. Devrim was a welcome sight, they hadn't seen each other in ages- Gale mostly ignored the briefing from Mara, he would get Steve to explain it on the way.

The Shadow Legion were easily felled, of course- Arc and Strand in tandem from a Young Wolf of all people was a hell of a thing, not to mention his own Solar, and the unique way Miush handled the Light and Dark in tandem. They cleared the area, then over comms, someone- The Crow?- mentioned that there was no way in. That was where Mara came in, apparently.

Miush was the one to pull out the Sceptre. They handled it as if they had been using it their whole life. They hesitated, while Steve jumped in with little concern. Something felt wrong. Miush looked over at him, waiting for him to go in before they did. Something felt wrong. He knew now wasn't the time for hesitation, but he couldn't shake it- something was about to change, drastically. A query over comms got him to finally take the plunge.

It felt awful. He couldn't even take a step forward. Steve had already cleared out half the Taken at the start of their trek, and Miush just moved forward, but he was stuck to the ground. He took a couple grounding breaths, then finally opened up his own mic. Steve and Miush had been chatting the whole time (Miush somewhat reluctantly, as Mara was on the line), but he'd stayed silent.

"Are you sure there are no alternative paths?"

His voice only trembled a bit as he managed to mask how desperate his plea was.

Some food-themed headcanons (& some canon notes):

Anya loves fruity and/or sour candies. Sour Patch Kids, Sweet Tarts, etc. She doesn’t like the lemon flavored ones though.

Nadia’s favorite food is strawberries.

Callum is severely allergic to oranges. He’s supposed to carry an epi-pen. He doesn’t.

Roxane likes comfort foods like breads, soups, and stews. Brianna especially enjoys meals with meat involved in them. Rosanna has a sweet tooth, especially in modern AUs.

Cardan likes several mortal dishes like pizza, Chinese take-out, and breakfast cereals.

Wolf canonically has a weakness for tomatoes and Winter’s favorite dessert is sour apple petits.

Scarlet’s comfort food is lemon cake. It reminds her of her grandmother.

Moselle likes all types of seafood and would eat nothing but it if she could.

After watching Netflix Avatar I knew it was my parental duty to make sure my kids saw the REAL Avatar all the way through, or as my son calls it now, the "Real REAL Avatar." And I realized once again how much I adore the fire temple episode. For one express reason.

Everyone's all chained up, Zuko included, and they're all about to get their faces burnt off (One of these four knows exactly what that feels like and isn't thrilled about going through that again.)

But this terrifying being is coming straight at them.

Dude look at that thing! No one's walking out of this!

These guys sure as heck are gonna feel it.

But....

...team Avatar is fine. Not a scratch on them. The fire is hot enough to disintegrate their chains yet none of them get so much as an ember in their face.

And you know who else doesn't get hurt at all?

Zuko.

Zuko doesn't get hurt in the least. His chains disintegrate and he takes his less than graceful leave.

We know Aang doesn't like to hurt people, and Zhao doesn't get killed or anything. But the dude still gets fire in his face and as far as Aang is concerned, Zuko is no different than Zhao and should have received the same treatment. Except Aang isn't the one in charge and Roku knows exactly who Zuko is and who he's meant to be.
