Week 7 @daycarefriendpickup magma art! 🐸🌧

Decided this week to doodle up some art of @crabsnpersimmons raincoat Sun and Moon designs from their Rain or shine AU! The designs are super cute so I just had to doodle something up for them!

I wonder if they would make some little froggy friends while splashing in puddles, I can sure imagine they'd have fun hopping along with them!

Day 100: Princess and Knight AU

Or Day 81, but my brain took the prompt and ran with it.

Lore. or something:

In a world where the Island is all good and well, has a monarchy ruling over it and Siffrin is the heir to the throne. Cracking under the pressure of their position, Siffrin wants to escape, but is unable to leave his position empty, so in desperation he makes a wish for a "perfect replacement", except who could be a perfect replacement if not, well, themself! Loop is made, in that moment a being that has all of their knowledge and experiences but isn't "them" (point of view) seems perfect, they will do great! And Siffrin leaves, only to later realize that, hey, that's like them, literally them, they abandoned themself to a life that both of them hate.

Fast forward a couple of years, the Island is in political turmoil, the heir to the throne, Loop, is kidnapped by King, a member of an offshoot branch of the royal family that demands for a transfer of power. His base is in Vaugarde and outside of the Island's legislation, unable to send official forces, the royal family instead issues a notice "the one who saves the heir will get their hand in marriage", but as it goes with the Island it's not just a motivation for some hero, it's a wish, one made to keep the heir alive for that to happen.

Enter Siffrin, who became a wandering knight after his escape, currently travelling with the party (assembled for different reasons than canon). He catches word of what is happening with the island right now and well, he never stopped regretting what he did, but at some point all the marks left by the life outside the castle became too much to be able to seamlessly return to the life before. But isn't marrying someone you don't know, with no way to refuse just the worst? It's high time they stopped running running away from their responsibilities. So he dons his armour, leaves camp in secret under the cover of the night and goes to rescue.

When they see him, Loop is livid. Siffrin left them all this time to deal with his shit just to return now?? They reconvene with the party and it's time for the road to the Island, very tense and heartbreaking conversations, living up to responsibility, healing and severely confused onlookers.

When you find out years later that you accidentally named one of your henchmen

Image ID: A multi-panel comic featuring au sanses. Panel 1: In Killer's original universe. A dark figure stands in the foreground while Killer is sitting back in the snow, covered in blood. Killer says "wh-what are you?" Panel 2: The dark figure is Nightmare but only his smile is visible. He says "I am Nightmare, guardian of all negativity in the multiverse ...and I have a proposition for you, Sans." Panel 3: Nightmare's hand is outstreched, he says "Come with me willingly and I'll take you out of this desolate and barren universe and let you loose on many others." Panel 4: Killer is looking back at Nightmare warily, a thought bubble shows he is thinking "other universes...?". He says "...in exchange for what? What do you want with me?" Panel 5: Nightmare's tentacles are reaching out towards Killer. He says "I feed off the fear and misery and hatred in this world, stirring these up will keep me powerful enough to fight against the guardian of positivity. In short," Panel 6: Nightmare is looming over Killer now, his tentacles surrounding him. He says "I just need you to be a good little killer." The word killer is in red text. Panel 7: Killer is grasping Nightmare's hand, having accepted his offer. Panel 8: Now in a different au, Nightmare stands beside Killer as he taunts Dream, who is out of frame. He says "You're outnumbered now Dream, I have a killer with me this time." The word killer is in red text again. Panel 9: Dream is lying on the ground looking hurt and ruffed up. Killer is standing in the background, looking ready to continue beating Dream up. Nightmare says from out of frame "You should know better than to turn your back on a killer by now." The word killer is in red text again. Panel 10: Nightmare is standing by Killer again, looking smug. He says to Dream, who is not shown "You'll need more than that pathetic bow next time you meet with my killer here." The word killer is in red text again. Killer is looking towards Nightmare, pleased with this. Panel 11: We are now in Nightmare's castle, present day. It is revealed to be Killer telling these events to Dust, who looks bored. Killer says "-and the name stuck, so that's why I'm called Killer now." Dust says very quietly "did I ask" Panel 12: Nightmare is standing in the corner behind them, he looks very surprised and concerned after hearing all this. Text with an arrow pointing to him reads "Didn't realise he had done this." Killer from out of frame says "he doesn't really call me his killer anymore tho" with a frowny face. Dust, also out of frame, says "that's nice now shut up" End ID.

[slutforpringles]

While I was cooking dinner earlier I listened to the post-Singapore GP Auto Action Mag podcast and there were a couple of interesting bits of info that I thought others might be interested in that I haven't seen discussed elsewhere. (also if you want to listen to three aussie blokes chat about how abysmally Daniel was treated in Singapore while eviscerating Red Bull, Marko and Perez then I do recommend listening to the whole DR segment (19:30 - 33:00)

"I spoke to his [Daniel's] dad at Phillip Island earlier this year and Dan's got a few irons in the fire. He wants to get into making movies or TV and believe it or not, he actually fancies himself as a stand up comedian. So we'll see where it'll go." (27:03)

"And I know that the Australian Grand Prix are going to try and do something next year to celebrate his career. I was talking to Travis Old about that the other day. They're trying to work out what they can get done and don't be surprised if there's a little bit of a push to have one of the laneways of Melbourne renamed [after Daniel]." (32:09)

"And can I say on a personal note, the quality of the bloke reflects back on the quality of his family and his mum and dad are lovely people. Haven't met his mum, but I've met his Dad and I know what his mums like because people that have met [her] have told me. But just really decent people. And that's the thing about Dan, Formula One is not necessarily full of decent people, but Dan's one of them." (30:05)

The name Janet means "God is gracious" or "gift from God".

This name is impeccable for the daughter of Timkon from all sides.

1) this is the name of Tim's mother, 2) it also means what she is - a gift and a manifestation of grace for Tim.

TWISTED WONDERLAND HOUSEWARDENS WITH A YUU IN A DAEMON! AU 𝜗𝜚 ⋆₊˚ ⟡ ݁₊ .

DAEMON AU! EXPLANATION : “daemons are the external physical manifestation of a person's 'inner-self' that takes the form of an animal. Daemons have human intelligence, are capable of human speech—regardless of the form they take—and usually behave as though they are independent of their humans, although they cannot travel far away from their humans. Daemons frequently interact with each in other in ways that mirror the behavior of their humans, such as fighting one another when their humans are fighting, or nuzzling one another when their humans embrace, and such contact between daemons is unremarkable.”(MORE INFO HERE!)

AU! EXTRA INFO: Yuu has a daemon which only manifested after being brought to Twisted Wonderland. Their daemon is a cat which did bring some crosses with Grim at first but the more Yuu began accepting Grim as a companion so did their daemon. In this AU daemons are of the opposite sex of their humans.

⋆˚࿔ RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS.ᐟ 𝜗𝜚��⋆

(DAEMON: LILIAN — A HEDGEDOG)

Riddle understood better than anyone how he and his daemon were supposed to act in the face of different social situations.

After all, it was drilled into him by his mother since childhood.

So it was no surprise that being near the prefect made him so twitchy and nervous. Not only was the Ramshackle prefect too noisy for their own good but their cat daemon’s behavior was entirely inappropriate! (that was the only reason why his hands became sweaty and his face started burning the longer he and the ramshackle perfect interacted!)

Riddle was very different from what he once was before everything came crashing down not only into himself but everybody around him in the form of a overblot.

In a way he hoped to amend the ills he had inflicted on many by improving himself and the way he managed things in his dorm. This of course didn’t always work; the more incompetent those around him became at following the rules the less his patience lasted.

It was a blessing for those in the dorm when the prefect and their daemon were around. (It was almost like throwing water to the fire, it just so happened that the water was human-shaped) Especially the prefect’s daemon.

It was like that cat had never been told no!

Coming and leaving as they pleased along with their owner! That wasn’t without mentioning the multiple occasions where that cat had mischievous stared him down as they rubbed their face against his daemon! (No perfect, saying that it was their first month having a daemon was not a good nor credible excuse for such shamelessness!)

Reciting the rules did nothing to stop them either! The prefect daemon was perhaps representing its other half perfectly with its shamelessness, but it did nothing to prevent him from becoming as red as a cherry.

Eventually with time he learned to become more used to dealing with the way that both Yuu and their daemon showed affection. Even if it did leave him sometimes standing as still as possible in fear of scaring the prefect or their daemon.

Such behavior should have been punished.

It should have.

Sadly Lilian did not seem to agree on such things as she was regularly found cuddling with the prefect’s daemon!

⋆˚࿔ LEONA KINGSCHOLAR.ᐟ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

(DAEMON: CHARISKA — A CHEETAH)

The second prince of Sunset Savanna having a cheetah out of every possible daemon was expected and not at the same time. His older brother daemon settled as a lion; the more intimidating your daemon became the more respected one was in his country. Leona’s daemon was nothing to scoff at but not quite to the level of his brother’s.

Or at least that was what everybody and their ancestors was determined to mention after meeting him and his brother (he should be applauded for being able to stop Mariska from ripping their faces off) It was supposed to change or at least lessen after coming to Night Raven College but it seemed as if the spot that his brother took was replaced by the annoying lizard and his even less tolerant daemon in the worst ways.

Then his overblot happened.

Being fussed over by the prefect and their daemon cat after such event was not an expected reaction (not from someone sane, but those two had never quite manage to showcase critical thinking did they?) Leona had to learn to live with a second shadow the more the prefect insisted in sticking near by. So should it really come to a surprise that he had started demanding the prefect to stick by him even after ‘the aftermath’ period was over?

The Ramshackle prefect’s daemon seemed to be inclined to such stickiness with how much she had started draping herself over his Mariska. The first times it had startled both him and Mariska with how utterly lacking of social or cultural norms both of them seemed to be; what he should have done is teach them how such behavior was usually only between very close family members or romantic partners. That would have been the right thing to do.

But in the end this was Night Raven College not Royal Sword Academy, and neither Leona nor Mariska were ever those who let go of things that they were fond of easily if they could avoid it.

His favorite past times had started becoming full of the prefect and their daemon. Dragging them to play chess, sitting them down through the after school practice Magift, and even making sure to have his daily naps with the prefect and both of their daemon nearby.

It certainly was a surprise (near heart attack seeing Mariska grooming the prefect daemon; it wasn’t everyday that you saw a cheetah licking an average household cat clean, or have a clean confirmation that the prefect and the housewarden of Savanclaw were dating) when anybody came across the two peacefully napping together only to be stared down by both Mariska and Leona.

⋆˚࿔ AZUL ASHENGROTTO.ᐟ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

(DAEMON: RAINA — A OCTOPUS)

It wasn’t usual for a merfolk’s daemon to be too closely linked to their family’s species — no matter what some may fool themselves to believe your biology is not as closely tied to your personality — so when his daemon settled as an octopus he could only thank that he hadn’t been slapped with a land daemon.

That was his original foolishness talking as he only realized how much of a draw back this would be when his goal to enter to Night Raven College became clear.

This would of course not be something that would stop him from; if Azul was anything it was determined and he would not let something like his daemon deter him from pushing himself to get the best results.

Perhaps he should have listened to Raina when she started anxiously swimming from one side to the other in her big tank by the side of his office where they could both see each other in their field of vision.

It would have probably delayed his overblot, or at least not made it as harmful as it was to others.

It should come to nobody’s surprise why he became so insistent in keeping the prefect nearby to repay his debt as throughout as he could (stopping another overblot had to be quite taxing right prefect? Why not take some rest here? I promise nobody will bother you here) Azul and Raina made sure to keep a close eye and even a closer grip on the prefect and their daemon.

Should they have given some sort of thanks to the others that were involved in the overblot? Maybe. However the nurse did say to avoid things that could cause an unpleasant rise of negative emotions, so sadly he could nothing to help those poor unfortunate souls in Savanclaw! It seems he will just have to make it up by keeping the prefect and their daemon even closer.

Even when the prefect’s daemon became too clingy to the point of nuzzling onto his hand — the prefect seemed to not have any negative reaction! Not even a wince or a grimace at seeing the most vulnerable part of his soul being near himself or his own daemon.

Azul had been under the impression that those who live on land had stricter restriction on how their daemon interact with others and their daemon. Seeing how carefree both of the ramshackle residents were lead him to believe that there may be exceptions to such restrictions.

Not that he was complaining.

Raina seemed elated by the affection that was shown by both prefect and their daemon. Going as far as to curl herself around both of them as a way to show her elation — such shameless behavior more often than not left him stammering for a couple of shameful seconds before he quickly composed himself and departed her from their special companions.

⋆˚࿔ KALIM AL-ASLIM.ᐟ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

(DAEMON: KARIMA — A FERRET)

Truly he didn’t expect such an action-packed entrance when receiving the new students! It was quite startling; Kalim couldn’t say that he entirely enjoyed it as his daemon almost got caught on fire and he himself did get his ceremonial robes burnt!

It would have caught his skin too had it not been for the new and brave prefect! Kalim was in awe after seeing how quickly and efficiently the soon-to-be prefect had easily stopped the fire while the other raccoon continued to make a rocket in the background. It seemed straight out of those private plays that his father prepares when he’s bored. Where the strong hero saves the day and saves everyone! So who could really blame him for momentarily forgetting the chaos that was occurring in the background before Jamil came and yanked him out of the way.

It was certainly a meeting that was worth remembering, and remember it Kalim did. Enough to seek the prefect out — of course let it be known that it wasn’t just his curiosity that lead them to seek out the prefect and their fun daemon! Karima was also interested in them, so who was he to deny his other half? — and get to know them in a more personal level.

Kalim was a little appalled after seeing the way that such a nice person was living. It was not his intention to offend the original owners of ramshackle of course! It just seems like the aesthetic of the house is taking a very unlivable route for his preference.

So who could blame him for willingly starting to lead the prefect and their companion Grim and their daemon to where he resided just until the headmaster decided to renovate the place?

In the end he had perhaps he had gotten too attached to the prefect. Kalim found that he enjoyed the company he shared with the prefect a little too much, and so did Karima. From night trips in the magic carpet to simple games in the daylight he couldn’t quite pinpoint how much euphoria he felt when he and his daemon shared memories with the prefect and their daemon.

Such joy was attempted to be shared with Jamil but he didn’t seem as enthusiastic to spend time with the prefect or their daemon. Had this been a while before his overblot he would have continued to insist but after the incident Kalim had tried the hardest to not be as overwhelming to his friend.

Instead he focused his time and money on the prefect. Even his own daemon started clinging more to prefect and their daemon than to him! Yet such behavior was reflected by the prefect’s own daemon who seemed more than eager to nuzzle his way into his arms.

⋆˚࿔ VIL SCHOENHEIT.ᐟ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

(DAEMON: EDITH — A PEACOCK)

Vil was not amused by the perfect and their daemon at all. It was nothing personal it just seemed as if they loved danger with how much trouble they constantly managed to get into. Or maybe it was the other way around? Danger loved them? It didn’t really matter for him or Edith. Either way it would only end up causing a disruption which would interfere with his schedule (and he already had enough in his hands with that rowdy first year)

That point of view ended up changing, inevitably, after he had to go through his overblot. Well that wasn’t entirely true either.

While he and Edith had been equally as grateful to those who had to deal with him moments before the overblot and throughout the overblot his opinion n the prefect didn’t do a complete 180 twist until he had to deal with the aftermath of his own overblot. A process that he surprisingly had to go through with two individuals who were sticking by his side like glue. The prefect and their daemon could almost be compared to an octopus with how tight they had latched onto him and Edith.

He would have been suspicious of there being underlying intentions with such actions being done with too much of a willingness had he not been a witness of the lack of interest the prefect had on anything media related (to a concerning degree actually — what do you mean you don’t have a phone prefect? Don’t be so irresponsible and just let me buy you a new phone!)

Even after such an event he strived to keep his image and quickly went back to work and being as efficient as he could. Vil wishes he could say the same for Edith. His daemon had taken it to letting the prefect’s daemon lounge on her space and even lean her head against her well groomed feathers. It left him with a slacked jaw the first time he witnessed Edith push the prefect’s daemon to lay on her side. He was a little more flustered when he realized that the perfect had been next to him to see the shamelessness that Edith was displaying.

Eventually it became almost a routine to see the prefect’s daemon laying next to his own daemon. A sight that had baffled many of his dorm-mates, and made Rook giggle.

Their reactions didn’t matter much at the end of the day, because whether they liked it or not it seemed that having the prefect spend time in their dorm would soon become the norm.

(Epel and his daemon both looked in horror as he watched his two nightmare infect his friend into becoming more close to the Pomefiore’s house warden)

(“They are multiplying…”)

(“Epel do you have something to say?”)

⋆˚࿔ IDIA SHROUD.ᐟ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

(DAEMON: EUDORA — A OWL)

Idia wished his daemon was more discreet with his interest in both the prefect and their daemon (as such unmasked interest only served to let everybody know his own interest on the perfect that has managed to deal with different overblots in such a short period of time while also befriending Ortho!) It couldn’t be said that Eudora even attempted to mask it at all. Especially when the perfect made a show to greeting the both of them after catching his daemon openly staring at them.

Idia usually saw the prefect and their daemon in the club they were both part of. This would of course make him just a tad bit more willing to let himself be dragged over to club meeting by Ortho.

Even Azul seemed to notice the one-sided tension that had developed; however, unsurprisingly Azul seemed to be more than willing to lay back and watch the fire increase the more embarrassed Idia became, the more he interacted with the prefect.

It wasn’t a surprise to many (except Idia himself) when the perfect finally caved and asked Idia if he wanted to play a cardboard game with them. Some even tried to discretely pass the money that was gambled on who would approach who first under Azul’s supervision. This gamble would of course not only benefit those who guessed right but also Azul who had eagerly taken the offer of gaining more profit.

The game was an experience.

Unsurprisingly to many who had seen Idia beat ruthlessly many other opponents, Idia had been the winner. However, seeing him cheer before abruptly silencing himself and coughing awkwardly on his fist to then mutter a low “good game” was an otherworldly experience to many. THE IDIA had taken his win like a normal person? No additional bragging and thirty minute rant as to why the other party lost? Some club members were even tempted to ask Ortho to check for possible possession.

This would be the first push for the perfect to start pestering Idia to play other games with them until they managed to gain a win. Eventually Ortho would suggest a more private meet-up for playing games as he noticed that Idia seemed to be unsure as to how to ask the perfect and their daemon to come over to play other virtual video games with him.

Ortho made sure to wait a week between intervals on asking and insisting for his brother to ask the ramshackle perfect to come over and play video games with him. After the third occasion and a month passing the youngest Shroud brother decided to take manners onto his own hands and invite the perfect and their daemon to come over and play video games with his older brother in his place.

And if he made sure to discretely take a picture of his brother’s face after opening the door and seeing the perfect that was between himself and his code.

In the end it became a comforting routine between them. The perfect would come over and play video games with Idia while their daemons stayed close to each other and even disappeared to know who knows what in the dorm. (Never starting too far but enough so it was hard to differ what they were doing)

⋆˚࿔ MALLEUS DRACONIA.ᐟ 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

(DAEMON: MILENA — A RAVEN)

Surprisingly enough the first to meet weren’t the prefect and the Diasomnia housewarden instead their daemons were the first to meet each other.

It was something that should have been expected; Malleus deemed it a calming pastime to relish the beauty of gargoyles at night and so did his daemon, Milena, it just so happened that Ramshackle was one of the most favorable places to do so.

Milena had not expected to come across another daemon while flying closer to the gargoyles. It didn’t seem like Malleus had taken notice of the way that his daemon had been staring at a particular window intently — too busy admiring other arts of architecture.

With a curious head tilt both daemons looked at each other in confusion and interest. Neither of them expected another soul to be in this building, outside or inside. Milena softly tucked her wings and perched herself at the edge pf a window while watching the cat shaped daemon open the window and invite her inside. She looked back at Malleus and decided that it would be just one look. Who could blame her for being curious about these new Ramshackle residents?

These meetings continued for longer than one would assume for two daemons that couldn’t get too far from their other half without it becoming straining. Even more shocking to some would be the weeks that it took both parties to realize the secrets meeting both of their daemons had been up to.

In the end the prefect had realized what was going on when they had woken up in the middle of the night with only Grim by their side — something was off though. There was no daemon by their side.

That night was the first one where they had met Milena (the daemon that their daemon was sneaking around to meet) and Tsunotarou. It seemed as if the other fae had been on the same shoes as them. While wary at first after realizing that he had been outside of their residence without their notice it was quickly eased after realizing the only reason for such dubious actions was to see the architecture of Ramshackle.

At first it was tempting to doubt such excuse, but any wariness was hard to keep a hold of after he had gone in a hour long rant about the history and meaning of gargoyles in his home country and around the world.

Eventually they had both gotten used to each other’s company. Enough so that the visits at night started increasing from Malleus just to see and spend time with the prefect. He of course had not forgotten the sneaking behind his back that came from deamon. While his feelings had become complicated about that particular incident he wasn’t about to just let it go that was for sure. And what better way to get back at his daemon that snitch to Lilia while claiming Milena had simply done so because she had been so hungry that she couldn’t take it, and attempted to get food through other means.

This of course resulted in Lilia’s food being served in a concerning amount.

Which was why he smartly decided to start following his daemon example and start going to visit the prefect while keeping Milena out of the loop by simply telling her to enjoy her time with the prefect’s daemon. At least they had similar tastes in friends.

Names, Marbles, and Fae-vors - More Lore on my Changeling Danny Au

In my last post I talked about the Infinite Realms and the three different planes existing inside it - the Long Far, Home to the Ancients and Celestial Beings. The Fey Wilds, Home of the Fey and other such Mythological Constructs. And the Ghost Zone, Home to the Mortal Spirits. - as well as three of the different ways beings inside the Infinite Realms can travel between planes; the Lake Portals, the Cave Tunnels, and the Starflare Currents. The Lake Portals and the Cave Tunnels don't have an official term for them yet, but I'll come up with something :).

In this post we'll be talking about some of the abilities of the fey! Specifically the things they're most popularly known for: their name stealing and etiquette thing.

For those who are not as well-versed in Fey Lore, or need a refresher, (and because I just want to yap infodump), one of the first rules you learn when interacting with the Fey is that you never, ever, say "thank you" or "I'm sorry" to them! Which is crazy, because they're really big on etiquette and being polite to each other, which is why one of their epithets is "the Good Neighbor/s". So why should you not say two phrases most commonly used when being polite to someone?

There are two big reasons for this, and the reason I'll be focusing on for this au is because, to the Fey, saying "Thank You" is acknowledgement of a debt that's owed to them. It turns the action or gift into something transactional, and results in a verbal contract that the receiver must then repay later down the line -- and whatever point in time, and with whatever the Fey they are indebted to sees fit. Whether that be food, valuables, or your firstborn child.

The other big reason is because some Fey just think it's rude, and view "thank you" as something that dilutes their act of kindness, and/or implies that they are there to serve you. One of the best summarizations I've seen for fey is that they're bros; they're doing this because they think you're friends -- or something similar to the sort. It's deeply insulting to do all these nice things for a friend, only for that friend to reveal that they don't view you the same way at all.

It's for similar reasons that you also shouldn't say, "I'm sorry" either, except instead of repaying a gift, you are now making reparations for a wrong you have done. A misdeed must be repaid in full, now how are you going to make it up to them? And also because well, I imagine that if saying "thank you" is seen as rude, "I'm sorry" is the exact same way because it dilutes the act.

If you're in a situation where you must say "thank you" or "i'm sorry" there are ways to get around it. "I'm grateful", "you're too kind", "I apologize", or "I feel regret" are just some examples I saw used.

NOW! How is this used in my Changeling AU? The Fey work by these same rules, the only difference is that I've added a physical aspect to it! If Fey are capable of stealing the abstract and turning the incorporeal corporeal, then lets run with it!

"Thank Yous" and "I'm Sorrys" are debts, and Fey can magically bound you into a verbal contract with that alone. However, it's not uncommon -- and actually pretty standard -- for Fey to weave the excess magic of that debt into something physical. They create these delicate-looking, iridescent threads that they then weave into their hair for decoration. And in some areas of the Fey Wilds, use it as a way to show off wealth and/or their own wit.

Ever heard of Fairy Hair? Yeah, same concept.

Debt Threads, as I am temporarily calling them, are thin and airy, and not that much thicker than gossamer. Since it's a debt that is intended to eventually be paid back, it's not practical -- nor is it seen as such -- to use the threads for anything more than temporary cosmetics. As a result, they're usually used for decorating the hair, but some crafty fey use their threads to decorate other appendages, or as form of makeup. Despite their dainty appearance, the threads are actually very sturdy and can only be unweaved by the Fey that created it.

You can, technically, take back your debt thread. However, the threads are made using excess magic of the debt, and not made of the magic of the debt itself, which is why it's so thin and airy. So if you do manage to get it, congrats! All you've got is some pretty string and a pissed off feyrie whose hair you probably just yanked out.

Danny's managed to accrue a few "debts" before he realizes he's a fey, mostly from his friends and sister -- although there are a few from his parents, and some from the other student body from when he was unknowingly and instinctually doing Fey Bullshit. As a result, he starts forcing Sam and Tucker and Jazz to stop thanking him for things, and typically makes them repay him through petty, menial stuff. Like getting him food, or buying him a small but relatively inexpensive trinket he's been eyeing for a while. Never usually anything super important - it's his own way of apologizing for indebting them to him in the first place.

As for his parents... well, he'll hold onto those debts for now. Having a way to magically get them off his back with no questions asked is a boon he's pretty willing to keep close to his chest, and no amount of persuasion will convince him otherwise. Sorry Jazz, Fey side wins out on this one. As for some of the students he's got, Danny manages to psych himself up and release some of them from their contracts without repayment -- even if it makes his bones itch.

AND NOW THE NAMES! You never give a Fey your name because they say everything literally. "Can I have your name?" is a literal question -- they are asking for your name, and thus ownership over you. The other thing is that Names have power, if a fey knows your Full Name they can make you do things for them -- however it goes both ways so you could do the same thing if you learn a Fey's name.

Knowing a Name and owning a Name are two different things, with owning a Name being, naturally, more dangerous as you are basically submitting yourself to permanent indentured servitude, among other things. Knowing a Name can be risky because it results in being more susceptible to fey charms, enchantments, and requests.

But! I digress! Just like how Thank Yous and I'm Sorrys can be turned into a physical object, so can Names! This is not obligatory, nor is it recommended to do often because unlike debt threads, these can be taken back, but it happens!

Names can be trapped in these little, colorful glass-like orbs -- marbles, they're marbles/pearls. They can be trapped in what are basically magic marbles, and just like debt threads, be used for decoration. They're more versatile though, and are used for different things since unlike debt threads, the pearls are meant to be permanent! They make beautiful jewelry, since the pearls come in various different colors depending on the person it once belonged to, and the intent behind its creation.

The marbles have a hard outer shell, with the cores having a fluid, shimmery appearance. Look up liquid core dice, and Name Marbles have a similar appearance, just more... ethereal, with different shades of the same color swirling inside. Not two pearls look the same, and even ones that have similar colors or appearances have subtle differences in them that are imperceptible to the mortal eye. Some pearls look like the deepest trenches of the ocean, blacks and dark blues swirling around each other as flecks of bioluminescence float inside. While others look like a lilac winter sunset, with hand-held purples bleeding into pink and gold.

Convincing Danny to return the Names he's gotten is harder than convincing him to absolve the debts. It takes a lot more psyching up on his part to actually do it, and more verbal coaxing and negotiating on his friends' part. Because on an instinctual fey level, those names are rightfully his. For all intents and purposes, he was given those names freely and without reservation, and so to be told that he has to return what were essentially gifts to him is... deeply distressing.

Lots of cognitive dissonance there. His human-raised brain and morals know why he needs to give them back, and he feels bad for owning them. But his new changeling-baby fey-brain is deeply upset at the prospect, and is a liittle bit stronger than the once-human part of him. He rapidly becomes overwhelmed when trying to convince himself to return the Names. He does, eventually, end up doing it, but he's unwillingly upset the whole time.

FUTURE Ramattra General and romantic headcanons

This is my au that I don't know what to call it so oof...

Also, im not good with headcanons either...

Warning: i add spoiler alert, so if you see red, it means it's a spoiler to part 2. You can either skip it or just read it, it not that much important... I think...

General

So we're talking about Ramattra, but in the future, where he won the War, disbanded overwatch and well murdered a few junkers and talons... yeah.... sooo

10 years since he disbanded overwatch, so right now, he's 38 years old. Five years ago was the worst years for him, for many reasons, one of them is what you read in "this is what you wanted right"... punching zenyatta faceplate, and also realizing how his rules and his actions were too cruel, blinded by power.

But he changed, still stubborn and thinking he's the right, but he isn't cruel or power hungry anymore. He's got wiser.

Height, future ramattra upgraded his body, so his normal form is 7'5 feet tall. his Nemesis form is now 9"1 feet tall

Ramattra normally always in his office. He never gets much breaks, too focused on his paperwork and leader thing.

Ramattra likes ants and still does

He hates people who try to outsmart him or use his words against him. He won't hesitate to switch it back at you.

Mentioning him about Talon, he won't hesitate to get you out or shut you up, never EVER mention them.( The same goes Overwatch, but he'll show some respect)

Spoiler alert for part 2: Ramattra is the leader of the Seven Captains who help him with society, authority, and more.

His scarf has stars and constellations, but it's small... The clothes he wears are his old monk outfit but upgraded to show he's more than just a leader but a protector.

Romantic

he's a demisexual in this au

love language he would like to receive from his reader would probably be act of service, he would definitely love his reader that helps him around with work, especially if he thinks about settling down (probably will never happened )

Now, the way he expressed his love language would be a word of affirmation, this man would praise his reader and compliment them when they least expected. Would love see his reader get flustered. Bonus: If you praise him for doing something, you may not see it, but he lets a few steams(aka you flustered him)

He isn't much into physical touch, so his reader might have to give him time. He also prefers to do it private. He doesn't care about his reputation. Literally, he does not, but he doesn't like people interrupting his time with his reader.

Imagine Maximilian or some random omnic/human worker entering his office while he was about to get a kiss on the forehead or having a bunch of lipstick kisses all over his faceplate. He's gonna get teased.

When it comes to dates, he prefers simple places like a cafe restaurant(probably be annoying considering people will gossip or some paparazzi ruins it) in case his reader hungry or takes them to a place where both can do stargazing and talk about different constellations.

He has a lot of patience with his reader. If his reader is angry or something, he'll patiently wait for them to calm down.

Sometimes, he will ignore his work to have some alone time with his reader. Or make some excuse to check up on tjem.

Spoiler alert: if his reader is a human, he will get pissed if one of the seven captains ever insults or uses racist slur towards his reader, especially if his reader is married to him. He's not gonna tolerate any vile words towards his spouse.
