Witches! Today, let's dive into the mystical world of correspondences associated with the days of the week. Each day holds its own unique energy and significance, making them powerful tools in your magical practice. Here's a quick guide to help you harness the magic of each day:

🌞 Sunday: Sunday is the first day of the week, perfect for new beginnings. This day rules the conscious element of the human mind, the ego, the "real self." It is your confidence, your strength, your resilience, your personal power. The sun is life giving, it’s energetic, it inspires growth and accomplishment.

Planet: Sun Color: Yellow, Gold Plants: Sunflower + Marigold Stones: Diamond, Amber, Tiger's Eye, Carnelian, Sunstone, Topaz, Gold Herbs: Cedar, Frankincense, Lemon, St. Johns Wort Foods: Orange God(s)/Goddess(es): Brigid, Helios, Apollo, Lugh, and Beli or Bel

🥈Monday: Mondays are ruled by the moon and the divine feminine energy that this celestial body is associated with. The cycle of the moon has long been associated with the menstrual cycle. Therefor it is an excellent planet to work with for fertility, transformation, and change.

Color: white, silver, blue Plants: bluebells, jasmine, gardenias, or white roses Stones: moonstone, pearl Herbs: Jasmine, Lemon, Sandalwood, Honeysuckle, Myrtle, Willow, and Wormwood Foods: Melon God(s)/Goddess(es): Selene, Luna, Diana, Artemis, and Toth

🏮Tuesday: Tuesday is ruled by the planet mars who is associated with the roman god of war Ares. This day of the week is perfect for any areas of your life that requires strength, courage and speed.

Planet: Mars Color: scarlet, red, black, and orange Plants: snapdragon, thistle, and holly Stones: garnet, bloodstone Herbs: Basil, Ginger, Black Pepper, Dragon's blood and patchouli Foods: carrots, peppers, and garlic God(s)/Goddess(es): Ares, Tiwaz, Tiw, and Tyr

🔶Wednesday: Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury, making this the perfect day for communication. If there’s a conflict that needs addressing, a big decision to discuss, a promotion you want to ask your boss for, or any other situation where communication will be your sword, this is the day to harness that magic.

Planet: Mercury Color: purple, orange Plants: fern, lavender, lily of the valley, aspen Stones: citrine, agate, aventurine, mica, pumice, quicksilver, zinc Herbs: lavender, eucalyptus, jasmine, sweet-pea Foods: unknown. God(s)/Goddess(es): Odin, Athena, Hermes

🍏Thursday: Thursdays are ruled by the planet Jupiter. It is also associated with the Norse god Thor and the Roman God Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet and therefor the most powerful. Thursday is the best day to perform manifesting magic. Prepare that money magic, ask for that raise, have fun with friends and loved ones.

Planet: Jupiter Color: blue, purple, green Plants: oak, wheat Stones: amethyst, lepidolite, sugilite, tin Herbs: Clove, Oakmoss, Cinnamon, Musk, Nutmeg, and Sage Foods: unknown. God(s): Thor, Jupiter, Zeus, Taranis, Perun, and Perkunas.

📘Friday: Fridays are ruled by the feel good planet Venus. This day is usually associated with reward and relaxation due to the end of the work week, but the influence is also due to the celestial body that governs it. Fridays are for indulging. It’s date night. It’s a luxurious bath with a glass of wine. It’s celebrating your free time.

Planet: Venus Color: pink and aqua Plants: rose Stones: rose quartz, jade, lapis lazuli, coral, emerald, malachite, copper Herbs: Rose, Yarrow, Cardamon, Strawberry, Sandalwood, Saffron, and Vanilla, Thyme Foods: strawberries God(s)/Goddess(es): Eros, Venus, Aphrodite, Freya

✒️ Saturday: Ruled by Saturn, Saturday is ideal for grounding, protection, and banishing negativity. It's a great day for spells related to structure, discipline, and long-term goals.

Planet: Saturn Color: black and deep purple Plants: pansy, morning glory , cypress Stones: obsidian, hematite, or jet, Coral, Hematite, Salt, Lead, Serpentine, Pewter Herbs: Cypress, Myrrh, Patchouli, Black Poppy seeds, Mullein Foods: unknown. God(s)/Goddess(es): Hecate, Saetere, Saturn, Cronos, the Norns, Loki.

As always, while these correspondences can serve as a helpful guide, feel free to adapt them to suit your own intuition and magical practice. Experiment with different spells and rituals on each day to discover what resonates best for you. Embrace the magic of each day and let it guide you on your witchy journey! 🌟✨

Who would make the best new main character? (Round 2)

Note: I recommend reading this blog's pinned post that explains what this tournament is about before voting

PROPAGANDA:

Vee- There is just so much potential! It could be a cute cartoon about an awkward little shapeshifter trying to behave like a human. From time to time, a backstory episode about her past as a basilisk and her escape out of the Boiling Isles. Their closest friend is Masha, who slowly discovers their secret, and becomes their confident, like MoringMark Comics from 2022-10-20. (And of course, romance). With the return of Luz in the the human realm, it could be more psychological, exploring complex feeling toward her (envy, but also affection). But yeah, imagine a cute slice-of-life cartoon with the cutest character of the show! Completely in the mood found family, "weirdos staying together" and "being understood"!

Kinkajou- While some people maybe put off by Kinkajou’s happy and bubbly talking, to the point that she gives off “comedic relief” vibes as a character- Within Kinkajou and character, she has some good or at least interesting potential as a POV within the second Arc. of Wings of Fire. TW: Propaganda contains some content of bombing, death, severe injury, trauma, abuse, brainwashing, and experimentation on others within it. Like the abuse and/or bull$h!t Kinkajou went through by having a awful $h!tty dragon and teacher, Bromeliad, who hates and believed that she’s just wants attention by stating that she was imprisoned, starved, and experimented on for TWO WEEKS within a awful environment. How Kinkajou is dealing with and processing the trauma of being imprisoned, starved, and experimented on by the NightWings. How literally little to nobody noticed that she was missing for TWO WEEKS within her life, including someone with Kinkajou thought was her “best friend”, Coconut. Including the other members of your race who’ve been missing and experimented on more (much) longer than you were. How that trauma resulted in Kinkajou to feel uncomfortable and/or possibly not trust almost all of the NightWings within the school she’s attending. Kinkajou’s thoughts and emotions within a main POV lense when she saw the history room within the school EXPLODED and BURNED by a the closet thing to a literal bomb. More about how she felt and what she was thinking when her BFF and childhood friend, Tamarin, got SEVERELY BURNED from being within that bombed history room, and that her roommate, Carnelian, DIED when that roommate just entered the history room JUST before it exploded. How she learned that her other roommate, Moonwatcher, who’s her closest new friend, has future vision didn’t (and wasn’t able to) clearly tell her and others students what was going to happen while having visions about it. How Kinkajou was able to forgive Moon for that only ONE DAY later, despite how upset Kinkajou was at her and is grieving Carnelian and what happened to Tamarin. How Kinkajou became more violent from the physical and mental trauma of her being bashed into a COMA by a dragon who’s enchanted with SUPER-STRENGTH. How Kinkajou planned with Glory - the dragon who recused her from the placed she was experimented in - in order for Glory and her subjects to intervene and tranquillize Icicle, a dragon that Kinkajou and her friends tracked down in order to STOP her from murdering other dragons. Kinkajou thoughts and process of making the enchantment in order to defeat the genocidal brainwashing 2,000 year old, Darkstalker, by warping him into a toddler, Peacemaker, who’s almost completely the opposite of him. How Kinkajou felt when she learned that she was BRAINWASHED in order to deeply crush and fall in love with one of her friends, Turtle, by that friend’s younger sister, Anemone. Kinkajou’s fear and suspicion of Anemone being Tamarin’s girlfriend and especially of Anemone possibly brainwashing Tamarin , without Tamarin knowing that, due to Kinkajou being brainwashed by Anemone herself and especially that Anemone didn’t regret and didn’t even see anything wrong with brainwashing Kinkajou with a love spell. And also Kinkajou’s dedication for learning to read and write, due to that skill not being within her tribe before Glory became Queen, despite how hard that possibly may of been for her as a young teen. So yeah, basically Kinkajou would or at least could be quite an interesting POV within the Second Arc. within Wings of Fire, especially for her point of view of the trauma and events that she went through and processing it, as well as her fears and her point of view of planning and doing certain things within the series as well.

content warnings for... anxiety.

profile.

full name — carnelian laramie st. germain.

abilities — spell - casting and potion brewing; communication with nature, minor healing. illusions and lunar - cycle based magic.

residence — a historical apartment in blue spruce commons; all creaking floorboards and rusted door hinges. used mostly to entertain and sleep. the ancient st. germain home in oldstone bend, time more often spent with family than on their own.

aversions — riding their bike into ditches and creeks for the 5th time that week. the come down after a particularly nice high. the color greige because it's fake and shouldn't exist. invasive species. the time they almost drowned in aforementioned creek. industry plants; both nuclear and hollywood. calling modern fans of punk "posers"; elitism. snobbery. their never - ending spiral of thoughts. seafood because they're too in land for it to be fresh ( usually ). not being listened to; their concerns being turned into mockery. thrill seeker behavior because they are not trying to die while white water rafting.

most played — sound system by operation ivy.

notable features — more tattoos than bare skin; they seem to change everyday. charms sewn into every hemline, hanging from every piercing adorning nose and lip and brow.

general disposition — like they're about to shit themselves out of fear & excitement, maybe both. impossibly lanky for someone well - built.

character study — burton guster ( psych ) & seth cohen ( the o.c. ).

background.

the st. germains have lived in blackwater since the near - founding of the town; witchcraft born of the earth, their power was small but significant. once they made home in the mountains, the miner's luck increased; there were less animal attacks, better harvests. they've lived in the same house since the beginning; new sections built every year to accommodate their family's growth over the years.

somewhere in the 80's; their family grimoire - curated by their family for generations - was stolen by a rival family, an opposing coven. nothing more but a petty feud; the next generation of st. germains had to learn their magic from scratch.

anxiety; carnelian was born to that struggle, though their parents had made due with what was passed along via word and demonstration. their siblings - the lot of them - never seemed to struggle with their abilities. it came to them naturally, their specializations showing at a young age. carnelian was different; it wasn't so easy to them. their spells became laced with anxiety; tainted with it. things would go wrong; spell jars turning sour, fruit rotting off the trees.

while their magic was always weak - it strengthened considerably with the lunar cycle; the new moon was their enemy, but the full moon allowed them to channel it with relative ease. without the anxiety overpowering it. they began to practice in tandem with the moon, waning when it waned - waxing when it waxed. eventually, the stars begin to whisper down at them.

while their siblings are moving onto more ambitious things; ranging from recreating their family grimoire to getting it back from their rivals, to using their magic to help the community wherever they can - carnelian is talking to the stars. they guide their every decision; influence every magical decision. sometimes they feel like it's not the stars at all; but they push that feeling down. ignore it.

carnelian starts sleepwalking. it's subtle at first, waking up in different parts of the house. then outside. then across the street; then in the middle of the woods. each night it worsens until carnelian awakes atop a mountain, nothing but rocks beneath them.

they stop practicing magic after that; besides tarot cards and minor predictions, things that have no greater bearing - carnelian doesn't reach for the stars again. they want something from them - and they don't think it's something good.

details.

carnelian often feels like a magician more than anything else, reduced to cheap tricks and illusions to keep their magic at bay. anything else - and they overdo it, overwrought with anxiety. they're one of the weaker st. germains, and while it's never been a competition - there's that constant want to do more.

big on cleansing spells, good luck charms, crystals, the lot. their charms and trinkets are passed down, found from friends and lovers; hold weight to their meanings.

they will pick up any instrument handed to them with relative ease; has always been a natural musician, though they don't do much with the talent besides turn 80's synth pop classics into acoustic ballads. has cried during them before.

believes firmly in self medicating, prefers the feeling of melting into the backseat of a friend's van to the feeling of actually being present.

despite their friendliness and loyalty to their friends - carn is a natural skeptic. isn't quick to trust or believe others, but they're kind. always kind, always giving more of themselves than they should. the clothes off their own back kind of person.

carnelian is so nosy it's insane. purposefully seeks out information, if only just to hold it; doesn't spread rumors, or idly gossip - is a good secret keeper. they just like to know.

has a tendency to be self - righteous; thinks they know the best out of anyone, and can be a little arrogant in a way that isn't entirely annoying.

they're hopelessly idealistic, to the point where they're shit at advice. a big advocate of drop everything and follow your heart. they're indecisive themselves, often looking to their friends for guidance.

carnelian hates change, hates new things and new experiences. would prefer the same routine, the same life, over and over again. they don't cope well with loss, or shifts in their friendships.

Character Intro: Matikós (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Ringmaster by the people of Olympius

Father by Thespios

Darling by his boyfriend

Age- 45 (immortal)

Location- Mania district, New Olympus

Personality- With a true love & devotion to theatrics and the arts, he has the personality to match- loud, bombastic, & over-the-top! He loves putting on a show, thriving on the applause of the audience. He's gay and is in a relationship.

He has the standard abilities of a god. As the god of performance his other powers/abilities include having an audiographic memory, elasticity, limited pyrokinesis, fire immunity, smoke generation/manipulation, character imitation, performance art mastery, circus mastery, being able to control/manipulate stage lights, & the ability of omnitone (is able to generate sounds in any pitch or tone).

Matikós is a single father. He has one child- a son Thespios (god of acting).

He and his son live on the top floor of The Tauros Building, a luxury high rise apartment building located in the Mania neighborhood of New Olympus. One of his good friends Rhapso (goddess of sewing) helped with the interior design. Inside the color scheme is gold, black, dark violet, & bright carnelian red. On all of the windows hang gold trimmed velvet curtains while most of the flooring is black velvet carpeting. The living room has leather & velvet furniture, Victorian inspired furniture pieces, as well as a crystal and diamond chandelier. The kitchen has an Imperial Gold popcorn machine, a gift from Zeus (god of the sky, thunder, & lightning). In Matikós' bedroom there's the latest iCHOR Tech smart flat screen TV, burgundy velvet carpeting, a dark mahogany four poster bed, decorative masquerade masks on the walls, & an Imperial Gold grandfather's clock.

Matikós and his son are dragonriders! Thespios' companion is a she-dragon named Ravenshade while Matikós' companion is a dragon named Anguis. The dragon has a serpentine body with speckled gold & dark red wings, gold horns, claws, and crests, & shimmering black scales. Anguis is often Matikós' primary mode of transportation as well as a featured act in the shows.

He's fluent in Latin, French, & Minoan.

Matikós starts off his mornings with an hour of stretching, meditation, and yoga.

He has a "no screen rule" implemented in the apartment for him, his son, & guests. No TV or phones while eating at the dinner table, giving the opportunity for undistracted conversations.

A typical breakfast for him is a homemade blackberry açaí smoothie bowl topped with fresh blackberries, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, & toasted pumpkin seeds. He's also fond of scrambled eggs (added with mushrooms, parsley, & peppers), Golly Grains caramel curls cereal, sliced papaya and mango (garnished with cayenne pepper & lime salt), and pao de queso- spread with butter.

Matikós always knew that he wanted to be a father. He went back and forth with the idea of adoption before finally settling on surrogacy. He came into contact with his son's eventual biological mother- a free-spirited & feisty maenad named Aida when he traveled to Thebes for the Dionysia holiday. They quickly bonded over their mutual love for wine and the performing arts. A few weeks later, the official process began. Matikós was Aida's birthing coach & was present in the delivery room during his son's birth. She even breastfed the baby for a few weeks before returning home. He and Aida remained in touch, mainly through phone calls & she would send breastmilk for the baby. Matikós even sent her photos of Thespios throughout his childhood. There are plans for his son to take a vacation to Thebes- where Thespios will stay with Aida and her girlfriend.

A go-to drink for him is a daiquiri. He also likes champagne, rum punch, p*rn star cocktails, red wine, manhattans, chocolate martinis, New Olympus Iced Teas, cuban almond cigar cocktails, a sex on the beach, red brandy sunsets, and cubatas. Usuals from Tne Roasted Bean includes a large iced tea & an olympian sized double chocolate chip creme frappuccino. He likes to make his own espressos and cappuccinos at home.

Outside his profession, he's very talented in interpretive & ballroom dancing.

Matikós and his son have a close relationship. He thought it was important to nuture and cultivate Thespios' interest in the performing arts. Every week they venture into the city to check out the latest film, play, musical, or opera. They also enjoy riding their dragons together! They really enjoyed traveling to the Underworld for the premier of the film Blooddancer- written & directed by Keres (goddess of violent death).

When he works out, he loves listening to classical music.

In the past he was a recreational user of lotus dust, mushrooms, as well as MDMA. Matikós stopped when it was confirmed that Aida was pregnant.

The peach & burrata caprese salad (topped with candied pecans & extra spicy honey dressing) is his favorite thing to get from The Bread Box.

He loves snacking on gourmet caramel honey popcorn.

Matikós income comes from his businesses- his burlesque lounge (located in the Skyline neighborhood) called Enchanté & his adult -centered circus called Mirage Menagerie. The circus is based in the city too (as he doesn't want to be far from his son)- having the realm's best performers of jugglers, clowns, acrobats, contortionists, knife throwers, tight rope walkers, stuntbeings, & fire eaters! Notable acts include the strength routine performed by conjoined twin cyclopes named Baron and Cosmo, the giantess Fantasia, & the nude painting duo (lotus eaters named Naima and Aster).

There has been a MAJOR new development in Matikós' career. He's been offered a year long residency with his performing circus at Acropolis Square Garden. He's still thinking about the offer.

Two of his most guilty pleasures are black olive & green pepper sicilian pizza and steamed lobster tails with lots of garlic butter!

His best friend in the entire pantheon is Felis (Titaness of cats). Matikós loves flying to Arcadia to see her and he made her Thespios' noná. They tell each other stuff that they don't share with anyone else, like Felis' growing feelings towards Koros (god of surfeit & disdain). On a night out, they love scouting the newest & hottest nighclub!

Matikós is also good friends with Philotes (goddess of sex, friendship, & affection), Kósmima (goddess of adornment), Apólafsi (god of enjoyment), Sponde (goddess of libations), Záchari (god of confectionery), Anatole (goddess of sunrise), Panigýri (goddess of festivals), Mousika (goddess of studying & music), Kéfi (goddess of mirth), Sardo (one of The Nesoi), Lyrikós (Titaness of voice & song), Epimetheus (Titan god of afterthought), and Priapus (god of fertility, vegetable gardens, livestock, sexuality, & masculinity).

Outside the pantheon he's good friends with one of the burlesque dancers at Enchanté- a siren named Myria.

Matikós officially mentored Melpomene (muse of tragedy).

His favorite frozen treat is pink lotus ice cream. There's an ice cream shop in the Chant du Cygne neighborhood that sells the flavor.

For the past decade, he's been in a committed relationship with a satyr named Silvano. Silvano plays the trumpet in a jazz band called The Gold Note Band. They first met at Yrgó Veloúdo- the smoking room/bar owned by Agathodaemon (Daemon) (god of vineyards, grainfields, & luck). Matikós was there with Felis while the band had a scheduled performance there. Under Felis' teasing & three glasses of red wine, he walked up to the handsome trumpet player, asking him for his number. The attraction was immediate and mutual with their first date being at a jazz club in the Lunar neighborhood of New Olympus. Matikós loves everything about Silvano- his full lips, his adorably chubby belly, his curved brown horns, & his mesmerizing hooded olive green eyes. He equally loves his boyfriend's family- with the two of them visiting Silvano's family in Athens.

He's not a musical snob, listening to a bit of everything. At the apartment, he has an extensive collection of vinyl records.

Matikós was Lyrikós' plus one at the Golden Laurel Awards where she performed with her daughter Aoide (goddess of voice & song).

He likes the jars of pickled peppers and homemade salsa Priapus gifts to him.

Matikós loves hosting dinner parties at the apartment. He and his guests are dedicated charades players!

He was gifted a pair of black velvet jeweled embroidered loafers by Kéfi.

He enjoyed traveling to Rhodes for the state's annual fireworks show along with Anatole, Apólafsi, & his family- his wife Eudaimonia (goddess of happiness) and daughter Paidia (goddess of play & amusement).

Matikós' favorite desserts are the pain au chocolat from Salon du Sucre & the tiramisu from Hollyhock's Bakery.

In his free time Matikós enjoys swimming, aerial yoga, roller skating, reading, tennis, football (soccer), sailing, cooking, surfing, writing, sunbathing, and sketching.

His all time favorite meal is feijoada with steamed yellow rice.

"Life is a circus and we're all performers."

Note

It was also not a repeated trauma she endured throughout most of her childhood, it was a singular, absolutely terrible event that happened to her but which she had a support system coming out of in the form of Glory. I am not trying to diminish Kinkajou's trauma but the fact that she had anyone to support her through the worst events of her life makes it a ton more logical that her personality would be less effected by it than the rest of her winglet, who all experienced traumas like abuse or neglect that was on-going and largely for the ENTIRETY of their lives up to the point of attending Jade Mountain.

I partially agree with this; what Kinkajou experienced was a single event and not a lifetime of abuse or neglect so it is different from what most of the Jade Winglet, or the DOD, experienced, and yes she had some support system, but she also very much did not have the support system she should have had, and it does come through in her characterization.

The core of Kinkajou's trauma isn't "I was kidnapped and tortured for weeks," it's "I was kidnapped and tortured for weeks and nobody in my life even cared enough to look for me." She directly calls Coconut out to his face for it, saying "Well, I thought he was my best friend," even though she was still trying to be upbeat about it, and what bothered her about being assigned a Nightwing cavemate wasn't so much the thing itself but that nobody checked that she was okay with it. Also while it's not like she talks about it all the time she was pretty quick to bring it up to Carnelian.

What Kinkajou does talk about all the time is how close she is to Glory, and to a lesser extent the other DOD, she's constantly trying to tell other dragons about how she's practically best friends with Glory. I've gotta confess that going through Arc 2 the first time I thought it was just attention-seeking and wanting her peers to think she's cool by association, but I'm rereading Moon Rising right now and I noticed that actually the way Kinkajou talks about Glory is really similar to how Qibli talks about Thorn and a little similar to how Peril talks about Clay although Peril's got so much else going on.

I think Kinkajou has a bit of the same hero-worship complex that Qibli and Peril have (and IMO Carnelian too but that's just speculation since Carnelian's backstory was never explored) where she's kind of latched onto Glory because Glory was the only dragon in the tribe who took the initiative to try to save her. It also seems like her trust in most of the other Rainwings was probably damaged by them leaving her for dead, and I think some of her attention-seeking behavior could be because of underlying insecurity about being ignored and invisible. This is almost entirely speculation but I think Kinkajou's kind of the opposite of Turtle: her deepest fear is that dragons she thought cared about her could just forget about her.

I truly don't like how people talk about Kinkajou on the internet like her not being irreparably damaged by her trauma forever makes her "uninteresting" or a badly written character. Being cheery and optimistic in the face of strife, despite clearly holding a self-awareness about her previous trauma as shown in how she thinks during Moon Rising, is what MAKES her interesting. It was also not a repeated trauma she endured throughout most of her childhood, it was a singular, absolutely terrible event that happened to her but which she had a support system coming out of in the form of Glory. I am not trying to diminish Kinkajou's trauma but the fact that she had anyone to support her through the worst events of her life makes it a ton more logical that her personality would be less effected by it than the rest of her winglet, who all experienced traumas like abuse or neglect that was on-going and largely for the ENTIRETY of their lives up to the point of attending Jade Mountain. I think sometimes people forget that not seeing a POV of a character does not immediately erase the internal logic that their character functions by. It's like when people claim Clay gets flanderized post Book 1-He doesn't, nothing about his writing changes, your perspective of him is just inherently limited because you are reading about what Other Characters Think of Him. It's the strongest element of Tui's characterization in her POVs but I think it leads to a lot of misjudgement about characters books outside of their own. Even though we aren't getting a Kinkajou book, I'd love one just so I could stop feeling crazy about already thinking she's a fully three-dimensional character while everyone else seems to think she's flat as a piece of cardboard.

Hello! Could you do questions 4, 9, 17 and 22 for the fanfic writer ask, please? Have a good day! ✨

Hello, and thanks a lot for sending this ask!

4. How many WIPs do you have right now?

... 8 XD Most of them being about Dragon Quest XI, and especially Hendrik x Jasper...

9. Do you write every day? If you wrote today, share a sentence of what you’ve written!

Oh no! I didn't write today! But hummm here's a snippet of a future chapter of one of my fics!

“You broke our engagement, you have been telling me for months how much you despised me and wanted me dead, and now you say you want to be back together with me? Have you lost your mind?! Is this some sort of game to you? Playing with my feelings until I lose my sanity once and for all?!”

17. What’s something you’ve learned about while doing research for a fic?

I can't remember anything specific, but while reading a novel this week, I discovered that carnelian was considered to be some kind of jade in ancient China, despite not actually being jade. Made sense for Carnelian's and Jade's name.

22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

Yes! I don't know what more to say XD

Thank you very, very much for this ask, and I hope my answers were satisfying <3 I wish you a very good day!

Has anyone noticed that Winter is pretty good in a crisis? Like he's pretty angry and volatile in most situations but once a crisis happens he locks that situation down.

Most instances of a crisis situation we see in the books (The classroom exploding, Kinkajou getting into a coma, The animus-magic induced sandstorm) barring any mind control, Winter is, pretty calm.

Not gonna bring any real first aid/crisis training into this since I'm not sure WoF follows these principles, or has first aid, like they probably have something but I can't remember if its ever described in the books, two, there teens, three, How am I supposed to know if the dragon has a spinal injury, or if there breathing? They don't describe either of that for Kinkajou but I have no clue if that's because they didn't do that or the books did not describe it happening. The doctor doesn't reprimand them for doing anything reckless so I have no clue. Is there such a thing as dragon CPR? I cannot tell! So I'm just evaluating the mindset they have when going into a crisis.

Kinkajou is probably the easiest one to explain, he, the 15-16 year old, finds his long lost dead brother but then the person he's only known for a week at least gets injured and comatose, he thinks about leaving her behind, goes "Wait no I can't" and thinks about how there supposed to carry her to the nearest doctor, his brother can't do it since he's too disoriented so that's out of the question, so he thinks back. The canopy in the trees was tight enough to hold out rain so he posits that it should be able to hold Kinkajou so they can take her to safety.

Now this was a gamble obviously, a gamble that could of gone VERY BAD if he was wrong, however it did pay off and at the moment was the only way to get Kinkajou to a doctor safely and actually make sure she stays alive.

But, this shows that Winter is really calm under pressure, like the man just found his dead brother and a friend almost died, this is right after a fight too, it is amazing that he can think at least somewhat clearly to actually do something about this situation.

The Explosion is also a pretty good example, when Winter see's Carnelian's charred body he thinks that his icebreath might help it until he realizes "Wait no that could make it worse" and wait's for a go sign that it's clear to "hose down" the classroom. Small example but shows that Winter is just remarkably calm, and I just think that should be noticed.

I don't think this is even from Hailstorm guilt because its never mentioned when he's in a crisis. I think he just wants to try his best to help and is pretty intelligent for a teenager. Which is really interesting.

Olive presents: Hideyoshi’s Birthday Fest story 2022 (Hideyoshi x Reader) Part 1

Author’s Note: A very belated birthday celebration, but at least I am going to give dear Hideyoshi one at all *narrows eyes at Cybird*

This is part one to my birthday celebration of Hideyoshi. Part two is going to be NSFW, but it’s just a zestier continuation of the ending of this story. This story, part one, can be read as a stand alone, but please, if under 18, do not read part 2.

I am a woman of my word. I said I would do this in a rant of mine, and I did~

Part 2 will be linked at the end for everyone else for structuring’s sake.

Now, with all that out of the way, hope you all enjoy, and happy belated birthday, Hideyoshi!~ This one’s for you!

——————————————————————————————————-——————————————————————————————————- ——————————————————————————————————-

The day was rather mild for the season. There was nary a speck of snow on the ground to be seen. Today, especially, was a good day to enjoy the rather temperate weather outside.

But one warlord in particular did not seem to take heed to that fact. Hideyoshi Toyotomi was what a modern woman turned princess and chatelaine would describe as a "workaholic".

"Hideyoshi, you look like a headless chicken running around. I thought you told us it was dangerous to run around the halls?" Ieyasu told the man decked in red and green with his usual frown.

"But I have to finish sending these letters out, and then report to patrolling the city," Hideyoshi responded promptly.

This bee was busy buzzing all over the place, as per usual, but there was a big problem concerning his usual habits...

This week was his birthday, and yet, it seemed Hideyoshi, as in per Hideyoshi fashion, had no intention of stopping his rigorous work anytime soon... an observation everyone in the castle noted, and one woman in particular took issue with.

"He already has so much on his plate that he might not even have time for himself for his own birthday! What am I going to do?" The chatelaine of the Oda vented towards the lord of the castle, the only one who would have a solution to this conundrum.

"I see. So you wish for me to order that Hideyoshi take the rest of the week off?" Nobunaga tilted his head at the princess, staring at her with amusement in his carnelian eyes.

Just like the season of spring that was right around the corner, the budding romance between Hideyoshi and the dear princess had yet to fully blossom, and as their lord, who was he to not provide some much needed water to help the two sprout?

Hideyoshi could be a bit... dense at the best of times, especially concerning the dear Oda princess, so he needed all the hints he could get to finally ask her to be in a relationship with him, to finally give his undying loyalty to a cause that was innocent in its nature.

"That would be very much appreciated," She nodded with a hopeful grin, as he matched her smile. "Then it shall be done. I look forward to seeing what intriguing plans you have for him. Just as you have given me, give him good fortune," He ordered her, as she nodded. That is what she would do to her best ability!...

...But where to start?

She wanted his birthday to be a memorable one, a birthday where Hideyoshi enjoyed himself, one where he took it easy and was told just how valuable he was to everyone. He always looked out for everyone, so at the very least, his special day should be the day where the script is flipped, where he was the one everyone looked out for.

Every party would not be complete without food, and Masamune was a great cook, so he was the first one she contacted.

"I am honored you came to me, lass. Would there be something in particular that you would want me to make?" The One-Eyed Dragon smirked at her, as she hummed in thought. She wanted the day to be memorable, so perhaps a memorable food item should be present for the occasion.

"...I think I got it, but it is going to be a bit ambitious. Think you can handle it?" She smiled widely at Masamune, whose smirk widened at the idea of a challenge. "Hit me. What idea did you have in mind?-"

Next up was to find entertainment for the special day, so there needed to be festive music being played. There also needed to be decorations, to show what a special day Hideyoshi's birthday was. Perhaps lanterns in his signature green could be displayed... Perhaps she could look into getting some special tea blends from overseas. The dear princess had so many ideas flowing through her head, that it felt a bit overwhelming.

She personally also wanted to give him a gift... but what? A haori seemed too simple, she wanted to give him a gift far grander... one that truly would leave an imprint on him.

She decided to ponder this over at her favorite teahouse, when she ran into some familiar faces.

"Sasuke, Yuki! I am so glad to see you!" She greeted, as the two greeted her in kind. She seemed like she had something on her mind, if the faraway gaze in her eyes were any indication.

"Have you been busy on another commission?" Sasuke questioned as the two joined her for some tea.

"No, I am trying to brainstorm ideas for a gift to give to someone special," She informed them, as Yukimura scratched his head.

"Maybe walking around the market would give you some inspiration? There's all sorts of people there with different things to sell," Yukimura suggested, as she clicked her tongue. "That is a good idea, but I am trying to look for something he hasn't seen before... something that will really wow him." She held her cheek in her hand, as Sasuke pondered.

"You are looking for a gift for someone special... Would this someone special be someone you are romantically interested in, and would this gift be for his birthday?" He guessed, as she immediately blushed, and nodded timidly.

"Maybe you should give this special someone something reminiscent of our hometown... maybe dedicate a special show in their honor, like Marilyn Monroe did in her 'Happy Birthday Mr.President' ditty." He suggested, as Yukimura looked at him in confusion. "Mister... President?... What the hell is that?" He questioned his good friend, who turned to him. "It is a title similar to lord, only the lord in this case would have been given power through an elaborate system dedicated to choosing-"

A special show, huh? Didn't Marilyn also have a special custom-made dress for the occasion? As an inspiring fashion designer in her present, the chatelaine of course knew a bit about fashion icons, such as Marilyn. Perhaps she too could make a special kimono for the occasion, one that would take Hideyoshi's breath away...

Just as promised, Nobunaga ordered that Hideyoshi take the rest of the week off, a request that made the workaholic antsy. He of course obeyed his lord's order, but there were so many things that needed to be done! If they were not tended to immediately, then they would fall behind schedule, and-

"I can tell by the look on your face that you are thinking of work again. What did Nobunaga say?" Ieyasu frowned at Hideyoshi, as he was making him some tea to calm his nerves.

"I am well aware of what my lord has asked of me... but I can't help it, it is a force of habit," He chuckled with mirth.

"Then perhaps tea alone would not do it for you. I might have to look into something else to make you stand still..." Ieyasu's frown deepened. As annoying as Hideyoshi could be, his birthday was coming up soon, and their dear chatelaine did request that everyone be on their best behavior while she finished up the birthday preparations, especially Mitsuhide, Keiji, and Masamune, lest she ask a certain monk friend of hers to attempt to cast a dreaded curse on them... though she was not sure if Kennyo would even be able to do that.

While everyone was busy getting preparations ready, Ieyasu was tasked to distract Hideyoshi with having tea with him. If that didn't work, then plan b was to send Mitsunari in as another distraction. It's plan b because if Mitsunari was there from the start, lots of tea would be spilt, and Hideyoshi would find himself once again scolding Ieyasu for his prickly attitude towards Mitsunari, and that would go against the request that everyone be on their best behavior.

"Yes, perhaps something else..." Hideyoshi murmured, his golden eyes looking far away as if he was thinking of something.

Ieyasu caught this look, and let out a light sigh. "...Don't tell me you are thinking of doing work right now, because Nobunaga already told you that you couldn't for the rest of the week," The blond reminded him, as Hideyoshi shook his head.

"...No, that is not it... I... feel I haven't seen our dear chatelaine for quite some time due to my work. Has she been taking care of herself, or eating well?" He thought aloud, as Ieyasu rolled his eyes. Here we go, he was now back to being a mother, or in the princess' case, an overbearing brother.

It seemed like everyone but Hideyoshi and Mitsunari knew that he had a big thing for the Oda princess, but for some strange reason, he seemed to almost shy away from asking her out officially, despite the two acting like a couple at times.

"Geez... Are you her lover or her brother?..." Ieyasu questioned himself more than Hideyoshi, but the man clad in green overheard him, and his face turned as red as some of Ieyasu's peppers.

"H-Her lover?! N-No, she is just my... my s-sister!" Hideyoshi shook his head in denial, as Ieyasu narrowed his emerald eyes at Hideyoshi, beyond exasperated. There was just so much he could take before he just snapped, and that moment of snapping was right now.

"Look, Hideyoshi, you may have fooled Mitsunari into believing that, but the rest of us, including Nobunaga, know you have a thing for her, so just admit to it already." His frown deepened as he scolded Hideyoshi, who was taken aback by his words, as evident by his look of surprise.

"She is not your sister, and you are not her brother. Since you are clearly more blind than Masamune, let me tell you this clearly; she LIKES you." He informed him, "And you like her, so get a backbone and make it official already. Why have you been holding out on her, anyway? Because you think she is really Nobunaga's property? You know that is not true, and you know Nobunaga would honor your relationship with her if you just own your feelings already!" He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, and this time, the headache was not induced by the usual culprits.

"I..." Hideyoshi began, but found he could not say anymore words. Ieyasu was right... he was holding out on her.

"If you need any further persuasion, it was not Nobunaga's idea to give you the rest of the week off. She convinced him to do it for you, because she cares about you. Now, get a grip," Ieyasu sighed as he ran a hand through his blond hair.

"I.... well... thanks, Ieyasu..." Hideyoshi bowed his head, still taking in his words, as Ieyasu merely huffed in response, turning his face away from him. "...Whatever, just let her know the truth..."

The big day has finally arrived. Everything was set and just how the chatelaine had envisioned it in her head. All they needed to do now was bring Hideyoshi into the room where his grand birthday party would be held.

"When Mitsunari comes back with him, everyone yell: ‘Happy birthday'!" The princess instructed the other warlords, as they nodded, looking at her in amusement at her enthusiasm.

She was working hard all week to make this happen, wanting to make this birthday bash one Hideyoshi would not soon forget.

When a familiar tactician had slid the door open, everyone jumped up in enthusiasm, using a peculiar contraption that shot out colored paper towards the birthday man, who was caught by surprise at the action.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HIDEYOSHI!"

'H-happy... birthday?...' Hideyoshi blinked a few times as he tried to process what had just happened. Mitsunari had informed him that he needed to tend to a task that needed his utmost attention. Little would he know that they would be holding a celebration for him here.

'...My mind has been so preoccupied that I forgot that today was supposed to be my birthday!' He thought in awe, before his golden eyes caught another sight that made him look on with amazement.

It was the princess herself... she was wearing his clothes, but they seemed to be made specifically with her measurements in mind, because it fit her like a glove.

"...M-My clothes..." He stammered, feeling his cheeks heating up, before a few laughs were heard from the other warlords.

"My my, the little mouse has caught Hideyoshi's attention at last.~ It only took her wearing his clothes.~" Mitsuhide teased, as the princess scolded him to be on his best behavior for the day, before her eyes flicked back to Hideyoshi.

"I know we haven't been able to see each other much because of your work, but I wanted this day to be special, as special as our dear Hideyoshi.~" She smiled brightly up at him, as he felt his heart skip a beat.

This woman... She truly was something special.

"Now that the guest of honor is here, let's all eat before the food gets cold!" Masamune grinned, as Hideyoshi's eyes scanned the delicious variety of foods made by Masamune, before his eyes stopped at a peculiar sight.

It was a rice ball... that looked like a monkey.

And it did not look like just any monkey. It looked just like his dear daugh- er, pet monkey.

"Masamune... this is amazing!" Hideyoshi gasped as he picked up the rice ball, almost feeling bad that it was food, as Masamune chuckled heartily. "Thanks, but the design was the lass' idea.~ As a matter of fact, she selected all of these items with you in mind," He pointed out with a smirk, as Hideyoshi turned to look at her, a nagging voice at the back of his head as he recalled Ieyasu's words.

'And you like her, so get a backbone and make it official already.'

But... wouldn't to do so now be selfish of him? He would feel as if he was using the event to take advantage of her, and he would never dream of doing such a thing to-

"You stupid monkey. Just tell her already!" He heard his lord bark at him, as he stood to attention immediately, "Are you going to continue to entertain the delusions in your head, or are you going to believe what your eyes are telling you?" Nobunaga frowned at him, as he gestured towards the princess who looked at him with slight confusion. "Tell me what?..."

"I-I... I can't believe you did all this for me. You even are wearing an exact copy of my clothes. I can not imagine how much time you put into making it," He gave her a warm smile that made her heart melt like chocolate on a hot summer day.

"All of this effort was worth it to see you smile so sweetly from your heart," She offered him a smile back, one chock-full of emotion. Relief, contentment, excitement, love...

That was when her soft hands reached for his own calloused ones, the touch radiating a warmth between their now connected hands.

"Hideyoshi... you are always looking out for everyone, whether it be in the castle, in town, or out on the battlefield. You give your all into everything you do, so, inspired by your spirit, I wanted to do the same thing for you, if only for a week. From every banner, to the party poppers my friend from my hometown helped me make, to this outfit... I wanted you to know that we all appreciate you... that I appreciate you... so very much..." She told him as she gave his hands a gentle squeeze, the warm smile making her face as radiant as the sun.

'...You really are a woman after my heart...' He thought, his heart racing like a wild horse in his chest, as the two looked intently into each other's eyes. It was not the first time that the two had been together like this, so close that they could practically feel the other's body heat, getting lost in each other's eyes. However, this time, it was different...

...Because now, Hideyoshi refused to hold his feelings back any longer, regardless of what any one thought, even his own doubts, the doubts that made him question if he even deserved a woman so amazing as the princess right in front of him.

"A man couldn't have asked for a better woman to bless him on the day he was born," He grinned tenderly, before stroking the back of her hands, as he leaned closer to her.

"I should have told you a lot sooner... just how utterly in love I am with you," He murmured softly, his cheeks growing more flushed as he observed the love in her eyes growing more intense, making her eyes practically twinkle like stars in a dark blue night.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Hideyoshi then looked at her lips, as if asking for her permission, which she happily gave him with a wide grin, before he softly laid his lips against hers, going to kiss her as his arms then went to snake around her body. He wanted her as close to him as possible.

"I think I lost my appetite..." Ieyasu murmured to himself, as Masamune frowned at him. "You better not, because it took me a long time to put all this together," He informed him while some of the Oda forces looked at the two kissing in awe, while others looked beyond amused.

"About time Hideyoshi got his freak on!" Keiji cackled, which caused Hideyoshi to immediately part from the kiss, growing bashful at the audience that the two had. "H-Hey, isn't this my party? Behave yourself at least for today!" He scolded the wild child, who merely laughed in response.

"His freak on? What does that mean? Lord Hideyoshi seems to be wearing the same clothes he always wears..." Mitsunari whispered to Ieyasu, who rolled his eyes. "Nothing you need to be worried about. Now go eat some food far away from me."

"I was growing a bit hungry... thank you for looking out for me, Lord Ieyasu!" Mitsunari beamed, as Ieyasu groaned in annoyance.

"I-I didn't mean to cause a scene... I just... wanted to kiss you..." Hideyoshi blushed as his attention refocused on the princess in front of him, who merely smiled back up at him with a giggle that warmed his heart.

"Hideyoshi, the moment our hands touched, they were already thinking we were causing a scene... but it is your birthday, so I do not see what could be so wrong with showing the man I love a little affection?~" She grinned, as he gasped softly and brought her into a bear hug. She was so sweet... and she loved him back.

"The night is still young, Hideyoshi. Let's enjoy the party. Those rice balls are not going to eat themselves.~" She hugged him back, as he rubbed circles on her back before parting from her.

"Of course. After all the effort you put into this party to make it happen, it would be a waste not to enjoy this day. I will never forget a birthday so great, one where I was finally able to be your man," He gave her a tender smile, going to hold one of her hands up to place a chaste kiss on the back of it.

The rest of the party, the two new lovers were wrapped in each other's arms enjoying the festivities.

"Happy birthday, Hideyoshi.~" Her voice rang out so sweetly to him, as he held her closer to his frame.

He would never forget the day he made the princess his, and the day he swore to love her for the rest of his life.

...And the night was indeed far from over.
