Junelezen 1: Beginning
Run, the Redbelly wasps had told her. Run and don't look back. We've done all we can for you.
Rinette Habelliard ran until her legs gave out, finally buckling to her knees beside a guttering lantern on the path. The Wasps had told her to avoid the roads, but she had no choice.
If the Wailers caught her, they would kill her. If the trees caught her...
She didn't want to think what would happen if the trees caught her.
A minute. She'd rest for a minute, just to catch her breath. And then she'd keep walking to Thanalan, where nobody would think to look for a Duskwight maiden with blood on her hands.

Batman regularly conducts performance evaluations/reviews for all the justice league members on an annual basis
Someone in the league, probably Hal or Barry, brings up how unfair it is that none of the robins have to go through it, when it's the most daunting thing ever. So now, the batkids have to go through mandatory performance reviews too
Bruce: The audit team says the budget this time was way higher than the last?
Tim, who's laundering an entire batmobile: We just needed extra snacks to feed the bats in the cave
Bruce: They suddenly needed more food?
Tim: Actually the previous bats all adopted new baby bats. Cause they're all like you, you know?
Bruce, trying not to cry: okay
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce: The record says you broke the 'no gun rule' fifty times in the past month.
Jason: Damn just fifty?
Bruce: That's not acceptable
Jason: What are you gonna do, fire me? Your poor posthumous son?
Bruce:
Jason: That's what I thought, see you at dinner
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce: In the medical record, all your injuries are listed as 'nunya'. Care to elaborate?
Dick, hitting a pose: Nunya business
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce: How would you rate yourself and your performance on a scale of 1-5?
Cass, trying to sound professional: 4.8
Bruce, concerned: Why did you deduct the 0.2? Self-esteem is important. You're getting a five, review over
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce: What would you like to say about your repeated-
Duke: I'm severely understaffed, you know? As in, i literally work my shift alone, so
Bruce: Fair enough, I apologize, you may leave
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce: In your own words, please explain why we should keep you around for another year
Damian, having to deal with this right after a long patrol: I'm your blood son. Would you fire me? Firing Richard as Robin wasn't enough?
Bruce:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce: What would you say your biggest flaws have been, while working this year?
Steph, experienced in these cause of her service jobs: I cared too much. And I worked too hard.
Bruce:
Steph: Can't forget I'm also too good at my job.

Carrying You 
Summary: How do they carry you?
Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, Sabo, Law, Kid
Genre: Fluff
CW: None // SFW
——— 
Luffy: 
We all know he’s a potato sack kinda guy. When he wants to, he’ll just throw you over his shoulder and that’s that. Notorious for reaching all the way across the deck of the Sunny, wrapping his arm around your waist, and snatching you up. 
Zoro: 
Another type to just throw you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He’ll smack your ass every time he does, too, and tell you to stop complaining if you dare say something. He’s been known to do this in an argument. 
Sanji: 
Bridal style. Always bridal style. He sweeps you off your feet, handling you with great care, and makes sure not to jostle you around too much. He’ll carry you any time, day or night, always happy to have you in his arms. 
Ace: 
Piggyback rides all the way. He loves having you on his back because he can move at his fast pace and keep you with him. He also puts you on his shoulders to carry you around because why wouldn’t he? Very happy for you to climb him like a tree.  
Sabo: 
Always picks you up off the counter or desk or somewhere you���re sitting, grinning when you wrap your legs around his waist and cling to him like a koala bear. Definitely not above tucking you under his arm for safekeeping. 
Law: 
Not the most handsy, though he has been known to pick you up against your will when you’re overworking yourself and take you back to his cabin. How he carries you depends on how difficult you make it. If you’re nice, he’ll carry you bridal style, but if you put up a fight, over his shoulder you go.  
Kid: 
Grins when you come behind him and attempt to lift him off the ground, failing miserably due to his size, turns around and does the same to you but with far more success. He takes advantage of the size difference and manhandles you all day long. 
———
Hope you enjoyed it! If you want more, you can check out my masterlist here!

RAINWINGS ❀!!
very obvious bias for them on my part - we are doing design notes for now, expect countless headcannons on their culture and life etc
-generally based on large parrots and pythons! in a fantasy sense, they are covered in scales that look/act as feather plumage, able to bristle and be moved for display or emote as body language together with their frills! their face looks like a snakes, able to scent heat and taste the air with tounge flicks
-they also have larger longer 'feathering' near the base of their tail that looks like macaw tails which helps them make tight turns when flying. their bird like wings all together make them agile in short bursts, but they do terribly when it comes to distance flying
-they have an elongated front thumb, large hook claws on their wings, and their hind talons look like a bird's for their arboreal lifestyle!

WOF Leafwing concept art. My aim here was to showcase some wings based on actual leaf types found in nature.
Read below cut for close-ups of each individual art & wing type.
I’m least familiar with arc 3 in the series, but I’m catching up slowly but surely and working on some cool headcannons & art for ya’ll! Which leaf shape do you like best?

BestFriend!Simon Riley and his big, beautiful brown eyes. he doesn’t think they’re anything special, but he knows you like them. is it playing dirty when Simon looks at you through his eyelashes when he wants something? maybe, but can’t you just let him stay over for the night? he’ll be quiet - he always is. your couch is a little too small for him, you don’t mind him squeezing into bed with you, right?
BestFriend!Simon Riley that has such dark irises they could be mistaken for black. sometimes you can’t tell where his iris stops and his pupil starts. eyes half-lidded, pale eyelashes droopy - Simon’s resting face usually has his eyes looking tired, almost heavy with sleep even when he’s wide awake. if you ignore the way his eyebrows seem to furrow, knitting together for positive and negative emotions alike, his drowsy gaze is almost dreamy - especially when he’s looking at you
BestFriend!Simon Riley who stares at you until you notice. lounging on your couch as you talk to him, your gaze focused on the tv while his is on you. two episodes of your favorite show, that’s how long Simon was able to stare at you before you noticed - you spared him a few glances, but it never really struck you. he cracks a smile when you ask, “Do I have something on my face?”, a deep hum rumbling in his chest as he shifts his gaze to the tv, pale eyelashes catching the light, “Nah, just lookin’.”
BestFriend!Simon Riley that stares at his ceiling at night, legs crossed and arms behind his head. one of the now rare times he isn’t at your place, a rare instance he isn’t cozied up and surrounding you. deep, pitch black eyes in the dark room looking up, eyelids heavily with sleep as he dozes off waiting to march back to your place tomorrow, those big, beautiful brown eyes waiting to look at you as he asks to stay over again

what if mudwings were like ducks and the males were more colorful?
for varying modes of gender expression, i would imagine these colorful patches can be hidden or they can be added in with colorful paints.

Hi so what if WOF had sports..
ICEWING HOCKEY!!
Concept art of thee talon blades, then some art of the full gear! they have leg guards, chest guards, and helmets
They use their tails to hit the puck across ice, and the can shield themselves with their wings or armor if the puck goes airborne
They are not allowed to fly or use their frostbreath, and all four talons have blades to ensure they dont grab other players
The whole point of hockey was originally to train soldiers to use their tail to strike others more, and to train their running muscles in case their wings are bound or in case they cannot use their frostbreath, but it has evolved into a sport for fun!

Junelezen 6: Control
There were days he still missed Busari taking up space in his rooms. There were days he considered asking Alanais and Gantsetseg to spend the night, just to make his free company suite a little less empty. (Oh, not that they weren't there during the day, not that he didn't sometimes come home to be greeted by the sight of Gan sprawled across the settee or Alan talking to the goldfish quite as though they understood him--but as yet, he'd only ever slept in their yurt, and hadn't worked his way up to the other way around.)
But on days like this, when he'd settled down to work on the Vidofnir's Wings accounts and the people he loved were on the other side of the world, there was something to be said for controlling his own space. Nobody distracted him. Nobody tried to strike up conversation. He could actually get things done.
And, thank the Fury, he didn't have to look after their damn dog.

Sandwings, Draco arenicolus
My lovely babies. Mostly the same as my original ones, but a bit more armored like an armadillo. Also new chin spikes and a forward facing nose spike for funsies. They're well built for walking long distances and do so quite regularly, and have good low-light vision, as walking during the night is much less energy-taxing than flying during the day. Their flat feet and blunt claws help with this as well.
This Sandwing is doing a very good example of a defensive posture, as Sandwing bellies are much less armored than their backs, they lower themselves and may even flatten themselves entirely when engaging in a fight.
Also I will be continuing my long-eared Sandwing propaganda and no one can stop me :)

it's the post i talked about making with seawing armor!! i was planning to do a third drawing with weapons, but i'm not super into it so maybe some other time
design notes under the cut!!
so first thing's first, i know very little about armor design. i did research and stuff, an attempt was made here XD
seawings mainly use materials found in/around the sea. metal is pretty limited to use in armor, weapons, and tools, especially during the war.
as such, seawings probably wouldn't know a ton about metallurgy, especially with the fact that they don't have fire. this generation's blacksmiths were likely informed by allied tribes, being mudwings (formerly) and some sandwings.
design is based off of ancient greek armor, mixed with some art nouveau styling. there's a bit more emphasis on aesthetics than practicality, a holdover from pre-war times.
materials are limited to things that won't degrade in saltwater (at least not quickly). bronze armor with glass-enameled elements, shark leather (or seaweed in lower ranks) straps, and titanium fastenings.
even though they won't degrade quickly, these materials will still oxidize. soldiers are expected to keep their armor presentable and in working order.
armor is made to be light, flexible, and limit use of glowscales, teeth, claws, and wings as little as possible. for these reasons, soldiers only wear a helm and spaulders unless in active battle, at which point noncoms would have a chestplate, and officers would have a chestplate and mail on the gills and belly. the gills are not usually covered, as their plating makes them the toughest part of the seawing naturally.
while there are armor gaps for use of glowscales, these are small and not the most practical. instead, seawing soldiers have been using a limited version of aquatic, made primarily of hand signals, for centuries.
because fabrics such as sashes would be impractical for seawings, rank is denoted using colored enamel portions on the armor. higher ranking officers, especially royalty, may also have custom armor, though this is a bad idea as it would make one a huge target in battle. regardless, some don special armor as is tradition.
