Ghost Dreamwalker wind au

Fanfic prompt: Considering that wind got his ability to see ghosts in a dream

What if in order to see ghosts in real life he has developed the method of livid-sleepwalking (which essentially means that the person has their eyes open and a bit of processing ability but still is functionally asleep and does extra weird shit)

And the chain got the “joy” to experience wind at his most deranged

Like Time is sleeping together with Malon when suddenly something scratches the door from outside

Opens it up and then wind just wakes him up with shit like :

“It’s... under the river, where the stars can’t swim,’

‘You have to burn the red thread before it knots, or the moon will forget to rise

He wants his face back and I am afraid…umh..no good”

Then before time even gets the chance to process the words he just heard wind is already between both of them and not waking back up

He knew nothing about the subject next day

But then it just kept happening with everyone while Wind was (they know now) sleepwalking

Legend gets his lost lovers entire back story from Wind (and he is also have a crisis over it because how the hell did wind get Marin’s name right her dad's name and why the hell does he know about the whale god)

Wild gets “HIS” backstory from Wind while Carrying him on his back and not being capable of giving him to someone else

He hasn’t slept well that night

Wind always looks like a doll when he is busy with terrorizing everyone and it makes him more cryptic

When four hears wind continuously tell people that his shadow is kinda gone because of his mirror

He was starting to think that maybe

Just maybe wind isn’t just making stuff up while only half lucid

Which member of the cryptid chain is most shrouded in mystery?

I have a few different answers for this!

1. Four

Four is a mystery to everyone! They share very little about themself! But they’re not like… secretive. Not really. It’s just that no one really asks the right questions. No one deliberately goes “Hey Four, can you split into four different pieces of yourself?” So they simply… don’t bring it up? And so people just don’t know.

HOWEVER. People do 100% ask “Hey Four, what exactly are you?” To which they probably respond: “Oh yeah, haha, I’m Link. Got a problem?” Like, never giving them a straight answer. “I’m me. What’s the issue?”

(I actually hid a couple of easter eggs in some Four art I’ve done. I’m kind of surprised that no one noticed. Given how many people were translating Merspeak, I’m so so shocked that no one saw it)

2. Time

Time is less of a mystery to you guys, but BRO. He is SO secretive. NONE of my Chain know ANYTHING about him. Sky and Spirit know he’s a God but they don’t know what he’s a God of. He’s got three kids back home and they don’t even know that he’s married until they go to Lon Lon!

He’s got this whole persona that he keeps up for the Chain. The leader. The strong one. But in reality he’s just some guy. Like the most normal guy ever, who loves his wife and kids and just wants to retire already.

He keeps secrets. He lies. And because of that, no one really knows him.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: Wild and Sky. Wild is like… so incredibly difficult to understand. He doesn’t talk, he behaves so strangely. No one can comprehend what’s going on in his head. And Sky because he’s got such a strange dynamic with Time that’s only made more confusing when it’s revealed that Time is a God. Why would a God fear him? What is he hiding?

So, a conversation with a friend made me realize how terrifying Skykids would be in a real life setting. Short, seem to sudden appear without any prior trace of their existence, very drawn to old, abandoned buildings and spirits. And they will go into your backyard at night to sit around your lanterns, a whole flock of them.

[skybristle]

......more about chimes and ochre????? :))))

[rbs > likes]

someone who cannot let go, and a mission who aids no one.

ochre is doomed to the overgrowth. and she has known this since it began. but chimes simply cannot comprehend the fact she cannot and does not want to be saved anymore. he will keep trying. he's already failed one iterator.

the gardener will return with two rarefaction cells, the one it began with never given to its recipient, and her final sacrifice begging him to keep living.

the crash that follows thereafter is deafening.

Stars? There are no stars who told you that? Those are eyes

[manuellarts]

"If only I could apologize,

Apologize a million times,

as many times as there

are stars in the sky.

If only I could apologize

for not being strong enough,

for having allowed you

to be hurt by this cruel world.

I welcomed you in a world

that has offered nothing,

but pain and suffering.

Yet in my heart full of sorrow,

you bring a light that

was unknown to my soul.

You are the sun that has

calmed my eternal storms,

and has made my rainy days

more tolerable.

You are too small to bear

any burdens.

Let me carry everything

that weighs upon your heart.

I will carry a mountain

to save you any ache.

I will carry a mountain

so one day,

you might forgive

my mistakes,

If God forbid, you may

ever remember the

pain I have caused you.

Yet I long for you to

remember me,

to remember me,

as the one who has

carried you,

into the sunlight.

I will hold you close

to my heart,

I will carry you until

you refuse the safety

of my arms,

and the sound of

my broken heart."

Some impromptu verses to accompany the video, which relates to my Awakening series 🩷

Luka for your miraculous rewrite pls 🫶

I gotchu

Chapter 4:a deal for a butterfly.

Warning:this series is told in achronogical order. The placement of THIS ficlet is around early season three.

Luka fiddled with his guitar.

The past month had been…eventful, to say the least. It had been a month since the Miracle queen disaster, one week since the appearance of new heroes, and a few days since his sister had been hiding things from him.

It all started four days ago, when Juleka came home at near midnight grinning like a madwoman without explanation. When their mother pried, she just said that she went on a date with Rose.

The next day, he checked on her but saw that her room was empty. Minutes later, Juleka came out of the room once again grinning.

Yesterday she was talking to someone in her room. Someone who Luka did not recognize.

Another thing was her melody.

Before hawkmoth, it was sincere. Kinda of like listening to classical music like Clair de lune or Für Elise. It changed after Reflecta, becoming… sharper, only increasing in sharpness until right now, where it felt like listening to classical rock

The change in tune happened to her classmates, too.

The tempo of both the Bourgeois sisters became sloppier, constantly losing. Chloe’s tune being faster and Zoe’s slower.

Adrien added even more sharpness to the already sharp alternative rock with some more classic added to it.

The Artist boy(Nate?) went from a melancholy tune to what Luka could only describe as an unfocused and unholy mixture of broadway, volcaloid, and the Kirby soundtrack on steroids that seemed to change cadence every ten seconds.

Alix turned from punk rock to a more Zelda-esk song that kept the same elements.

And Marinette…her music turned to a melancholy melody, tempo sometimes abruptly stopping and starting back again at random pace and similarly getting faster every few minutes.

It seemed as if recently something broke amongst most of the class. Whether that was something that sprung out of nowhere or building up for some time… Luka couldn’t tell.

“Luka!”Juleka called, as if on cue”I need to show you something!”

He set his guitar down, making his way to his sister’s room, seeing her sitting in her bed,holding something in her hands.

She stood up, locking the door behind him.

“What is it?”he asked.

“… Listen, Luka, promise me that whatever happens in this room never leaves it, alright?”

He narrowed his eyes”…why?”

She glanced at the green object in her hands(a bracelet, Luka could tell) until she held it out for him”put it on.”

He did as told, seeing as a green light started emanating from the bracelet as a small figure formed.

Once the light vanished, he saw a small creature which resembled a snake in front of him, with a green body and yellow eyes.

Luka paled, taking a slight step back at the creature gave him a wide eyed stare.

“Sso thisss isss the one you have chosssen for me?”it tilted its head, getting closer to him.

“He’s my brother, and probably the person I’d trust the most for this.”she replied.

“…Juleka?”he said.

His sister sighed, looking at her bag”Roaar, come out”

From the pouch came a red creature resembling the one in front of him.

“seems like you’ve chosen the snakelet to adorn you,Cub”it mused.

“Ssshut it, Roaar” the snake said”the only reason I agreed to thisss wasss becaussse I hadn’t taken up a holder in a while”

“Yeah, whatever”

“Roaar, Sass, please”Juleka said, before turning“Ignore their bickering”

“What are they?”he asked.

“Us? We’re Kwami! Or gods, to you”the red one -Roaar- replied.

“Oh pleassse, we are much more”the snake-Sass- replied”we are cosssmic deitiesss, given physssical form by those jewelsss and here to give boons to thossse we favor”

“Boons?”

Juleka rolled her eyes”they’re the things that give the superheroes their powers”

“How did you…?”

“I found Roaar at a yard sale, I don’t know how that vendor got it, but the moment I put on this”she pointed at a panjas bracelet on her left hand”a bright burst of light appeared and that’s how I met Roaar!”

Roaar chuckled”and after an offer she couldn’t refuse-“

“-She agreed to help me find more jewels so that I can give you and Rose powers too!”

“Wait… an offer?”

“Heh, nothing much”Roaar said”just the power to kill a butterfly”

“To kill a butterfly…?”

“Well,”Juleka replied”a human shaped butterfly with a terrible fashion sense”

“…The power to kill hawkmoth?”

“Yep! with me Cub has the power to punt that purple bastard to death, quite easily I might add”Roaar chuckled”a single punch and boom, dead as flower in winter”

Luka didn’t quite know how to respond to that.

“Though we will need help”Juleka added”which is how Sass comes into this”

“Hello there”the snake said”I might asss well introduce myssself properly. You may addresss me asss Sass, the kwami of precognition. I bring the ability which Mortalsss have taken to calling “second chance””

“Second chance?”

“Yesss, once per transssformacion you sssay thossse wordsss and sssuddenly a timer will ssset for ten minutesss, in which you will create a time loop that you can ressstart until you make the right choicesss to get the desired outcome”

“-which in this case is Hawkmoth getting punted to death”Roaar said.

“…are there any side effects?”Luka asked.

“Of courssse not!unlike other Kwami, sssuch asss…Fluff, I do not take any toll on you. In fact, over time you will only gain more abilitiesss, even if they are sssmall.”Sass replied”and all you need to accesss them is to say “Sass, Scales slither”

He looked over the bracelet on his wrist,noticing how it had changed into a soft silver color. He glanced over to Juleka, who only smiled as if egging him on.

“…Sass, scales slither”

In an instant, green light engulfed him, only fading until a few seconds after.

Once Luka regained his senses, he was dressed differently. His once blue highlights turned the same aqua green as the rest of the suit, minus the yellow highlights which adorned the suit but were mostly covered by the dark hood that obscured most of him before curling to the shape of a snake’s tail at the bottom.on his hip, attached to his belt, laid a Garrotte wire which Luka assumed to be his weapon.

“Sweet!”Juleka said”now we just need to find one more miraculous for Rose and we’ll be ready!”

She then sprinted out of the room, melody still a classical rock.

…

‘Are they gone?’

Luka jumped.

‘normally I wouldn’t pull a Ziggy like thisss but I prefer our conversationsss private’ the voice of Sass rang in his mind.

“What?”

‘It’sss another thing usss Kwami can do, however it’sss quite a hasssle to contact our holder while transssformes ssso mossst choossse to ssstay quiet’

“So you can talk to me like this…”

‘Yesss, though it’sss usssually ressserved for private mattersss, sssuch asss thisss’

“What is it that you can’t tell me out loud?”

‘It’sss about another Kwami, Nooroo isss hisss name’ Sass said ‘I will tell you one thing, Luka Couffaine, I do not care what your sister doesss to that Hawkmoth, the only thing I want to do isss make sure Nooroo isss sssafe.’

“Why are those related…?”

‘Becaussse Nooroo isss Hawkmoth’s Kwami.’

“And you want me to get him back?”

‘Of courssse. It’sss a deal on you and your sister’s part. You get to kill Hawkmoth, I get to see that Nooroo isss doing well, and Roaar getsss… well I sssuppose the Violence isss enough to keep her sssatisfied’

“What you’re saying is that the only reason that you’re helping us is because you want Nooroo?”

‘You’re sssmart for a Mortal. You were the right choice, after all. Also, in cassse you though of double crosssing usss. I mussst tell you that we are beingsss beyond comprehensssion. You are mortal. You will die.’

“Good to note.”

I shot for the sky

I'm stuck on the ground

So why do I try?

I know I'm gonna fall down

I thought I could fly

So why did I drown?

I'll never know why

it's coming down, down, down.

here’s my little guide to predicting the weather without having to use proper gear or look on the news/app/online/etc!

I’ve always wanted to have easy little ways to tell the weather, so I spent the past few hours doing some research and came up with a fun little guide to predict the weather. Most of this doesn’t bring a guarantee, but it’s fun to try if you’re able to get out for a bit. Have fun!

Crickets- count how many times a cricket chirps in 14 seconds, add 40, and that’s the temperature in Fahrenheit. do this multiple times to get an average

Red sky- in the morning means bad weather is on the way. in the evening means it’s passed.

Ring around the moon- yes: rain/heat. no: frost/cold.

Pine cones- open: good weather. closed: bad weather.

Dandelions- they close their petals at night. if their petals don’t open back up in the morning, it’ll probably rain.

Smells- things smell stronger when there’s high humidity. Compost smells are also important, it means a plant is emitting waste. Storm is coming.

Cloud height- low clouds mean weather is closer. High clouds mean it’s farther away.

Clouds- big towering fluffy looking clouds can collect up and bring storms.

Ants- if ant mounds are suddenly higher, it means a storm could be coming.

Birds- birds flying low or birds getting quiet can indicate storms. 

Birds 2- if birds eat during a storm that means it’ll be a long one. If they wait until it’s done that means it was a quick storm.

Bugs- bees and butterflies head home before a storm. If there’s less of them, a storm could be coming.

Cows- if cows are huddled together and lying down that means a rainstorm could be coming.

Hair- frizzy hair can indicate high humidity and then tain.

Times of day- afternoons are usually when the weather gets the most crazy.

Days- Whatever happened the day before is likely to happen again today, but not guaranteed. Look for similar patterns, sudden changes, or lack of changes to predict.

Wind- if the wind suddenly is moving in a different direction than usual, or the clouds are, then change is here and the weather might be wonky. Observe the average wind direction of your area and take account of when it shifts or changes. You can drop sand/dirt or leaves to see what direction the wind is blowing. Or you can just see where your hair/scarf is pointing. 

Leaves- oak and maple leaves curl with high humidity, so watch for that.

Dew- dew on grass in the morning means the weather will be good, but if there’s no dew, bad weather can be expected
