Johnny Cage X Gender Neutral Popstar Reader Intros

Notes(s) : It's nice to meet you 😵‍💫 anon, I've never done MK intros before, well I have but they're all in my drafts, so, I hope these are good!

It's not majorly nsfw, but I don't really know how to write flirting without some dirty moments? So, I'm sorry if that's not what you wanted.

-

Johnny : Fuck, that live show you did? You trying to kill me?

Reader : If that's how you react to me without a shirt then I can't wait to show you more.

-

Johnny : I love your new single, you should feature in my next movie.

Reader : And what role would I be playing, Cage?

-

Reader : I don't like how you look at Kenshi...

Johnny : And I don't like how you look at Kuai Liang.

-

Reader : How about a kameo in my next music video?

Johnny : Only if I can be the sexy, shirtless love interest

-

Reader : I'm so glad you're fighting shirtless

Johnny : Hah, so is everybody else!

-

Reader : I think Kung Lao is jealous of you.

Johnny : My fighting skills or that I got to bag you?

-

Reader : I have a new song idea just staring at you...

Johnny : I can't wait to listen to it while we spend some time alone together

-

Johnny : Come on, let's just leave them, you know you want me.

Reader : We can't abandon training, Johnny.

Reader : Stick you in jeans and a crop top on stage and the crowds go wild.

Johnny : I can't wait to surprise your fans by showing up.

-

Johnny : So, you interested in men? More specifically, me?

Reader : Do you think you could handle me if I am?

-

Johnny : So, I have this amazing idea for a movie.

Reader : If it's the dragon idea again I swear to god, Cage.

-

Johnny : Training for the tournament is so boring.

Reader : If only we had something to entertain us.

-

Johnny : We should have a movie night.

Reader : So you can feel me up in the dark?

-

Johnny : I'm so sorry I had to skip out on your performance-

Reader : Don't worry, Cage, it wasn't anything major...

-

Reader : I'm pretty sure the entirety of Outworld saw you eyeing me up.

Johnny : I'm about 100% sure that it was the other way around.

Hey you know how How to Train Your Dragon was a nearly flawless movie? What if we made it again but worse?

I'm so tired.

What is the point of a shot for shot remake of a movie we already did perfectly? Who is this for? Why do I need to see real humans interacting with CGI dragons instead of CGI humans interacting with CGI dragons?

Why does it look so low quality? Seriously, look at this:

It looks like a mediocre sound stage. The lighting looks fake. Toothless looks worse. It's not the worst thing I've ever seen but it's certainly not better than the original.

(Side note, I am hearing a lot of people bitching because Astrid is being played by Nico Parker and she's not white enough to be a historically accurate Scottish dragon-riding Viking and if you're stupid enough to hold that opinion let me just say you're going to LOSE IT when you find out the Earth isn't flat.)

Roaring Drago's Friend

A small idea that popped up in my head. Kinda inspired by Malleus' wish in the wish upon a star event but also Malleus' lab wear vignette. I know that event was a while ago but it mostly focuses on the fact that Malleus has a roaring drago tamagotchi. I'm also writing this when I should be sleeping so sorry if it's not as good

"I wish for Roaring Drago to make a friend."

You had heard from Deuce about his strange encounter with Malleus

and about how the fae prince treasures a kid's toy

of course you were curious to learn something new about your friend

Deuce was able to tell you more about the kids game Gao-Gao Dragon-Kun

in the small game you get a egg that hatches into a dragon

throughout each day you have to feed it, play with it, and train it as it grows

it's basically a virtual pet

after learning more about it, you decide to buy one!

a few days later and you received and hatched your own Drago

it's pretty easy to take care of as long as you don't forget about it

Ace and Deuce are so confused when you casually pull out the small game while hanging out with them

but Drago needs attention!

after a few days of care your little dragon has evolved into the adult stage

happy about how much it's grown, you finally decide to show it to Malleus

he is so happy

he's so excited to see your dragon and show you his

and when you ask for your dragons to be friends?

he's never agreed to something so quickly

you have to help him set it up tho

once you have it set up the friendship level shows up

I know I already said he's happy but like really

on the outside he's smiling calmly

on the inside he's like a excited puppy

"Child of man, I sincerely hope our Dragos can become the best of friends"

they absolutely do

you and Malleus are now spending more time together to raise the friendship level

he uses this as a reason to find you and hang out more

students are very confused when they see both you and Malleus together with the small devices in your hands

but they're not brave enough to question it

Malleus tells Lilia about the drago's friendship

Lilia is happy that Malleus can enjoy his gift even more than before

Sebek thinks you should be honored for your virtual pet so share a friendship with the young masters

he's also jealous of you

[willvoiceit]

Hello, Will! I'm sorry if I bothered you, but may I ask, was it difficult for you to adjust your voice to Marazhai? I remember it was a bit of a surprise for me to find out that you also took part in bg3, voicing Milil, because I couldn't recognize your voice there for the first time (silly me thought it was Dorian's voice from Dragon Age😅). And I think it's amazing that you're able to hide your own timbre of voice and play with it so well.

And now, knowing Milil and Lord Panswyck from Hob's Barrow as well, I feel a huge difference in the voice timbre, comparing them and Marazhai's low timbre with notes of danger. Also those hisses, smooth talk, insane laughter...😄 I really like that even Marzi is able to sound so diverse in the game, thanks to you and your talent. And that's why I'm curious, what was it like?

Sorry if my text may seem strange somewhere, I'm not a native English speaker, hahah. Have a good day, and thank you for liking the fanarts and our shitposts.😄 You're incredible!😊🙏

Hello!

I think because I'm used to adjusting my voice a lot I wouldn't say it was difficult, but I have had a lot of training (both as an actor and as a singer) to get to that stage!

I'm also lucky that I have a very wide vocal range in full voice, around 3 octaves - and while my natural speaking voice sits in the lower end of that I've learned how to cut out sections to my advantage. In Eiyuden Chronicle which is out in a few months I'm playing an 18 year old, so had to drop a lot of the natural grumble!

And I *love* the fanart (and the shitposts). Makes my day whenever I see people put in such amazing work!

Honest Thoughts about Cullen Rutherford from Dragon Age

Now, I will be upfront - I love Cullen’s romance. However, just because I adore his romance and the relationship between him and the Inquisitor, doesn’t mean I excuse his past transgressions.

Dragon Age: Origins

Now, we first meet Cullen in DA: Origins - whether it’s early on and during the Amell/Surana Origin, or when reaching the Circle Tower and he’s been trapped by all of the demons that have attacked.

If you play as an origin mage (Amell/Surana), specifically a female character, it’s heavily implied that Cullen has feelings for your character. Whether you act on admitting that you feel the same, you’re oblivious, etc. - it won’t change on how he reacts to your character once you return when the Circle is overrun.

Now - the tricky part.

We don’t have an exact estimate of when the Circle was overrun, but we know how.

What Cullen had went through during his time being tortured while he was captured - witnessing his comrades die and being toyed with by demons who took on the form of his deepest desires? (Possibly Amell/Surana, if you play that Origin) yeah… that could definitely fuck with your mind for awhile.

At the beginning, before this drastic change, we could argue that he’s a bit more sympathetic/kinder towards his charges and other mages - he’s witnessed some things, sure, but nothing on the scale of when the tower has been attacked.

After the attack and however you save the tower, Cullen comes out broken and vengeful. While his anger towards the situation can be understandable - it’s only to a certain extent, because he believes that all of the mages within the tower should be eradicated. Even the survivors who played no part and the children that were saved.

This. This is the mindset of a person who has been mentally tortured and broken, lashing out within the initial stages and while it’s fresh. However, he completely forgets the fact that the survivors had witnessed nightmares of their own and now have to deal with further scrutiny because of their peers who had played a part. It will just continue to feed into the tension - the Templars will tighten security and defenses, while mages will continue to bristle underneath the constant surveillance.

Due to Cullen’s changed mindset and what he witnessed in the tower, the lead Templar transfers him to the Free Marches. Specifically, Kirkwall.

Thoughts:

While physical and mental torture is a horrific thing to have happened, it’s unjustifiable if that harsh mindset is acted upon others who had played no part in the cause. I really liked Cullen’s personality at the start of the game when you first talk to him - shy, but sympathetic and wanting to get a better understanding of his charges.

However, his changed mentality and fury is downright terrifying. The second he condemns those who had played no part in his torture, or attacking the Circle, is the moment where the niceties fades away. He has a right to be angry at his situation and the world, but certainly no right to demand the execution of innocents based on his terror/assumptions.

Dragon Age: II

During Hawke’s travels, either as a mage or having Bethany around, there’s always the risk of being captured by the Templars. During the first year (prologue), there isn’t too much of a risk since there’s countless refugees and it’s easier to blend in with the crowd.

However, during Act I, when we come to the Kirkwall Circle, we are met with a familiar face. Cullen Rutherford, who had been recently transferred from the Ferelden Circle. However, there’s hardly any sympathy towards any of his charges/mages - he’s been hardened by the events during the Fifth Blight and he’s sticking to it.

Now, his mental and physical wounds aren’t as fresh, but they are just as haunting - maybe even more than at first. We see how strict he is not only towards mages, but the Templars that are trained under him. There’s no desire there of wanting to understand his charges or sympathy towards their situation…

However, we come to see him falter as time passes when he begins to witness some of the behavior coming from his higher-up… who is somehow much more cruel and vengeful than what we see from him. Knight-Commander Meredith. The woman in question had purposely concealed some of her darker actions and decisions from him, mentioning how he was still soft and slipped up towards the mages within the Circle.

We definitely see him falter and turn on Meredith at the end, regardless of who you sided with, and it’s somewhat liberating. He likely sees himself; overwhelmed and possessed by the anger wreaking havoc inside of him and lashing out towards not just mages, but everyone around. Innocent lives and bystanders.

However, his fury does flare up once more due to the actions of Anders who blew up the Chantry - not just for the citizens caught in the crossfire, but religious figures that many of the people sought for comfort.

Thoughts:

While there are certainly Templars within the Circle, especially in Kirkwall, that are much harsher and crueler than Cullen - we still see a firm hand and rigidness that’s the polar opposite to how he was when he first joined the order. He’s outright cold towards the mages, but not sadistic and purposely wanting to eradicate them - not like how he was when he was first freed from the Circle.

I believe that they had done the right thing by having him witness his “perfect” higher-up fall from grace and be swallowed whole by her paranoia and fury. It’s basically a moment of reflection of how this is what he could become and the damage it could cause upon not just on himself and those he wishes to destroy - but people who had nothing to do with it, regardless if they’re a mage or not.

Dragon Age: Inquisition and Thoughts

We are met at the start of the game, if you decide to storm through the front, with Cullen fighting against demons that slip through the Veil. If you’re playing as a mage, he hardly comments on it as he’s too distracted with the tears that are appearing out of nowhere and what’s coming out of them. Deep down, he’s likely terrified at fighting the creatures that possibly held him captive during his capture nearly a decade before.

Throughout the game, we are surprised by how well-respected he is amongst his peers and how lightly admonished he is towards the mages involved with the story. His attitude is a little jarring and the fact that we’re unable to argue most of his points is frustrating - considering that his views have mellowed somewhat, but not as much considering the events occurring.

The worst comment made is how he compares the Templars to the Wardens with everything that has happened - as if the Templars are made to keep the mages in check, just like how the Wardens have done the same for the Blight. This comment can be extremely hurtful, especially when playing as a mage - even worse if said mage is about to romance Cullen.

At most, it feels as if his views haven’t changed as much as it seems when approaching the subject of romance with Cullen as a mage Inquisitor. In fact, it feels as if his interpretation of mages is only changed when it involves the Inquisitor and is absolutely sure that no demon will possess her.

Yet, that’s hardly the case considering that she’s a mage - just like any other mage who constantly has to fight against the influence of demons while sleeping (in the Fade). It could happen to anyone and she’s not special when it comes to that.

Overall Thoughts:

While I do love Cullen’s romance and relationship, I do feel as if the writing for his redemption arc is a bit too… forgiving? He said some truly devastating things during Origins, as well as in the second game, and we still see glimpses of it throughout Inquisition - just more subtle and mellowed.

I was hoping for the romance, especially as a mage, to have a little bit more pushback and allow our Inquisitor to not be easily forgiving when learning about some his more abhorrent behavior during his time with the Templars.

I feel like if his mindset could truly change about the Inquisitor, then it certainly could for the rest of his peers and mages in general.

I’ve seen a lot of hatred towards Cullen, as well as hardcore adoration for his redemption and romance, but I just wanted to be upfront about this -

His “redemption” was too forgiving. Let there be a bit more of a struggle within the Inquisition, especially when siding with the mages and romancing him as a mage character.

The writers let him off too easy.

[juno-of-wonderland]

Hello. I got an idea after listening to these songs - requiem ver chogakusei Alien Stage - sweet dreams. Namely, that Yu has the magic of music (more precisely, magic manifests itself when Yu sings or plays musical instruments, sometimes when he dances). And I would like the guys to catch Yu during one of these actions (dormitory wardens + Jamil). Just imagine how Yu sings requiem and magic begins to appear in the form of flames/shining stars/flowers, etc.)

you brought me some memories and I love ideas involving music, most of my entries are made with a POV playlist and I swear I tried to do it in dorm order, but I was blocked so I wrote who already had one (yes, I I do everything disorganized and then together) and as my limit is 7 characters, I believe you asked to change Kalim for Jamil, if not, just let me know and I'll do his THANKS FOR THE REQUEST

Azul Ashengrotto

-Azul was ending the day and going to his room -but the kitchen lights were on, which made him frown, don't people know how much energy can cost? -as he was approaching, he heard a small voice singing "I travel the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for something" -he sneaked in to see you and his eyes widened -there you are, washing the dishes, a normal thing, if it weren't for the small bubbles forming around you and the water apparently wanting to come out of the sink -he was certainly stunned for too long for you to stop your work and look at him -you stare at each other in silence -he clears his throat and says he appreciates you staying until everything is finished, but it's already late and he's going to walk you to the mirror -if you act as if nothing had happened or don't know that anything happened, he will understand that tiredness is causing some kind of jock -if you seem nervous, then he knows that what he saw was your secret… that he can use later

Malleus Draconia

-this man loves the night, we all know, but you didn't expect him to show up today -you start singing outside the ramshackle and doing a very small and centered dance -it's not really a dance, it's just a swing -small flowers bloom next to your feet as you says "Sweet dreams are made of this Who am I to disagree" for the second time -and the dragon is watching everything -he is surprised but delighted by your performance, he finds it adorable -he only talks to you when you finish -Malleus asks about your magic with interest, but if you don't want to talk about it, he won't insist, even if it upsets him -please sing him another song

Idia Shroud

-a miracle happened and this man was outside his room -he wanted to play a new game with you -Idia just didn't expect to catch you singing alone in a completely personal and shameful moment -he planned to sneak out, he was really going to do it! but your voice is so jahavsbgsjsbsfgssnj he sounds like an otome boy, stop doing this to him! -you start another song "one vague, misjudged view like a faint flower gone insane " -and that's when he realizes, small spark of fire dancing on top of his head -he leans over from where he was hiding, to get a better look… and ends up tripping and falling -Please don't do anything to him! he didn't want to peep! -if he has the courage to mention what happened while you were singing and you look confused, he will get excited like "I think you unlocked a power because you were brought here like in an isekai… in fact you are already in one isekai" -if you are aware of this ability, it will be your little secret, he will keep this information and fulfill the promise

Vil Schoenheit

-Vil was going to her dorm, to take you on a comparison trip -This man's ears are trained and he doesn't even need to open the door to see that you are singing -he ponders whether he should go or not, he chose to stay and open the door slowly and you sing "if i became a butterfly, so free"

-and look at his surprise when he saw you beaming like a crystal while (trying to) clean -several occasional sparkles and butterfly's swirling around you -you get scared when you see him -"your performance…" Vil begins "it wasn't bad, but I'm disappointed that you hid your magic potato" he's serious -after all, his magic suits you, he wants to know why you don't tell anyone, but he won't be invasive, he will be… subtle

Jamil Viper

-I couldn't think of an excuse for this guy to find you, so let's get to the basics -he was passing in the hallway when he heard his voice coming from an empty room -he pulled up next to the door and heard you sing "Lord, Please when the song is over, save me please My Father, My Universe Take away the small and weak me" -and when he looks at you and literally sees stars dancing with you -this man is bewildered, I think tiredness has finally caught up with him -but he remains silent, without interrupting you, you seem so carefree now, he doesn't want to take away that feeling -At some point he will leave, you won't even notice it -he needs to see this again and make sure it wasn't something in his head

Leona Kingsholar

-Now I Live in Darkness Bring me brightness Show me proof you hear my sound Live in darkness Bring me brightness Show me proof you're here now -His ears twitched at that, why does someone always have to show up at the botanical garden and disturb his sleep? -Leona intended to go back to sleep when he recognized your voice -he decided to sit down and look at the free and private show he was getting -…why are there rose petals surrounding like a hurricane and why are flowers blooming on the bushes? -he remained quiet, his mind loading until you noticed him -this guy has a mischievous smile on his face -"it seems that the herbivore hides several little things, doesn't it?"

Riddle Roseheart

-you had offered to help paint the roses -you were bored and started singing "Sweet Dream, it's today, wait for me I'll go see you soon, woo~woo~woo" along with small movements -a crown of flowers began to form on his head and roses as red as blood surrounded the garden -like when you hear a familiar voice behind you, you even spill paint on yourself -"since…since when can you do this?" -Don't try to pretend you didn't notice -he is willing to listen and help you control this magic better -he thinks what you do is really beautiful…just don't say it out loud

I hope I got the songs you said right

[blankvort]

tangentially animal-related hcs 4 the mean girls crew bc i am now responsible for giving a goldfish daddy issues

cady

inexplicably allergic to dogs and always in the first four stages of grief about it. don’t @ me about the medical semantics i just want her to suffer a little

tried to get a job at petco the second she turned eighteen but learned of the above information in the most destructive job interview since janis’s application to be the local coffee shop’s cool gay barista (they were worried that she’d swear at fighter-jet-takeoff volumes if she touched hot coffee) (she did, but only because they started playing a shitty pop cover of one of damian’s fave show tunes) and came out of the building a puddle of mucous and tears

grossly fascinated by the grossest of primitive functions. her insta page is all dope and authentic until you find a selfie taken using the back camera 0.5x with the corpse of an effervescent snail and a bunch of reels telling you how to narrow down what bird species are destroying your garden by the splay of their shit

has a miniature aneurysm whenever movies get stuff wrong about animals. artistic liberties are granted to janis alone. like sure if she’s in the theater she’ll sit through the movie fisting popcorn down her throat but as soon as she gets out of there the entire mall becomes a soapbox for dissecting the bullshit sexual dimorphism of giving female animals eyeliner

thus while i know the headcanon of her loving the lion king is basically canon i think she’s absurdly secretive about it. like she’s burying her merchandise and blu-ray copies under her bed in the dead of night while secreting more sweat than should be possible. she could come out to her parents and elope to antarctica no problem but liking the lion king which implies that lighter manes = stronger lions is a death sentence

probably got banned from a bunch of zoos for interrupting field trips 

janis

had one of those angel/wolf/dragon/whatever hybrid phases as a kid like all good artists. did those like. not quite furry but not quite human animal art commissions on twitter for a while for the funnies but discovered a lucrative market and never turned back

does not know how to hold human or animal babies. like she’s good at taking care of them in terms of general physical and intellectual nourishment but that limp wrist is not supporting any necks properly

mercilessly makes fun of the whole “would you love me if i was a worm” trend. she doesn’t even love most humans what makes you think she has any answer for you regarding that other than that she’d turn you into a super deep art piece museums would purchase for exorbitant amounts

that being said she feels like a vivarium girlie to me. she’s nocturnal like a pillbug and post-canon constantly tries to convince the plastics that her pacman frog is poisonous

feeds her meticulously decorated ant farm gourmet meals every day. anyone else gets microwavable mac and cheese at best

this one probably won’t make sense unless you’re a jenny nicholson fan but she has a fake id for buying wine and turning the corks into those hallmark craft animal sculptures (and selling the open wine bottle to mrs george in back alleys)

damian

his grandma owns the most omnicidal chihuahua in the state of chicago. it’s how he learned to dance with such mental and physical dexterity. how else would he have survived visits to the nursing home

^ attempted to adopt the chihuahua’s children to have his own bruiser woods moment. turns out, even with his classically trained tenor voice, puppies and janis respond to the “drop it” command much the same way. that is to say they do not drop it and the puppies ran away with ninety nine per cent of his anastasia-inspired music box memorabilia

has a love-hate relationship with cats the musical. like memory is one of his top ten karaoke songs but he’s not going to admit it until he’s several fruity seltzers into the night. wishes all the actors in the movie had been replaced with real cats picked off the street before anything else was approved

played milky white in a scammy local production of into the woods and so so so embarrassed about it. he had to be on stilts the whole show

stuck a fish in regina’s backpack sometime in sophomore year but found karen feeding it and talking to it about her worst fears and greatest dreams felt too guilty to continue with the next phase of his plan (sticking a very hot picture of janis in regina’s backpack) (karen probably would’ve tried to talk to the photo too)

regina

musical specific but i think she didn’t Exactly do a matching animal costume with gretch and karen because 1) what can you dress up as when your friends are going as a cat and a mouse. cheese? 2) had cady not moved into the neighborhood, she’d have gone as a sexy lion to ease into the prospect of. you know. with shane oman but going as a sexy lion when your shiny new homoerotic frenemy has a lion pin on half her clothing isn’t quite a non-questionable choice

had a warrior cats phase she keeps under lock and key in the very depths of her closet. her closet is an iceberg of issues that goes shein -> homosexuality -> warrior cats and climate change is doing a number on it

fried a couple of janis’s ants alive with a magnifying glass sometime before middle school. she’s never flirted normally in her life

the bulk of janis’s furry commission clientele. she has so many emails for alternate accounts that she could get every american president ever suspended from twitter if national security let her. that’s including the dead ones

remember the nigh-rabid chihuahuas damian had. yeah she’s been raising those in secret for a few years now. mrs george doesn’t notice because regina hides them in her hair and extensions are, like, totally in or whatever

had a horse girl phase. all her drawings of horses came out like this meme tho. the art freaks nickname was born out of jealousy

gretchen

chose to be a sexy cat for halloween to match with karen because she has no sense of identity. also because she remembers regina’s warrior cats phase

actually a guinea pig person. i’ve never met a guinea pig person but she feels like one. they’re both in dire need of daily interaction and likely polyamorous

but also peri-canon gretchen could not keep a pet alive she’d spend every cent of the wieners fortune on buying the animal’s love

speaking of. her family bought a stable to fuel “her” horse girl phase. she just wanted to make regina happy and couldn’t stay on a saddle if there was an escalator that plopped her right on the horse

cares about the puppy bowl more than she cares about the superbowl

instinctively pets cute animals. if they bite her then she deserved it

karen

chose to be a sexy mouse for halloween because tom and jerry was having a media marathon and she’s into that sort of power dynamic

believes in unicorns more than she believes in horses. this is because she had a horse girl phase for the hottest of seconds before realizing that none of the ponies at the apache trail sale had horns and thought they had their horns cut off for aesthetic reasons

animals love her so much. survived a jellyfish attack because the jellyfish sensed she just wanted to pet something shiny and absolutely respected that. pests of all shapes and sizes evict themselves stat when karen says her mom doesn’t appreciate her hundred thousand dollar lotions being invaded by peril-bringing insects. strays follow her 24/7. gretchen is jealous (of the animals)

thinks tigers are very sick zebras

thinks blobfish are cuter when they’re all flesh putty out of their natural habitats but would also break into a zoo if she thought the animals were being mistreated

was banned from australia at the age of eight because she tried to have a sleepover in a kangaroo’s pouch

aaron

mean girls insta described him as a golden retriever so i’m also hcing him as being allergic to dogs <3 equality

becomes deeply fearful of all fauna after falling into a research rabbit hole for the sake of connecting with cady. what do you mean buffalo are some of the deadliest beasts on the planet and not just a type of chicken wing

kevin g

a preteen vsco girl in her granola advocacy era stuck in a teenage boy’s body. he has saved more turtles than any natucate volunteer by repurposing his rejected business cards to make a selfie stick long enough to stick him in the same selfie as gretchen wieners. the selfie stick has been in progress since daycare. he has also gone to the hospital more than any natucate volunteer do not trust this man with shop class equipment

Dragon Care: Dragonite

To most of the world, dragonite was long thought to be a myth. The Blackthorn Clan, however, have been raising and training them for generations. They're marine pokémon and can swim very well. Like the kingdra line, they can also float in the air.

As an egg:

Dratini eggs should be kept partially submerged in cold water. They hatch when they're ready and not before.

As a dratini:

Due to dratini's long incubation time, they often hatch close to their full size--around 6-6'6" (1.8-2 m). To contrast with the horsea line who have to grow into their abilities, a dratini should be able to float in the air within a few hours of hatching.

Dratini are very social and intelligent. Like all pokémon, they can tune in to their trainer's emotions and learn their moods and habits, but due to the dratini's gentle nature, they express it a lot more. If you're upset around your dratini, expect it to coil around you to comfort you.

There's a persistent rumor that the dratini line soaks in moonlight to eat, and this isn't true. They're not autotrophs like druddigon--they're herbivores and feed on aquatic plants if living in the sea, and other vegetables if they're with a trainer. Fruit can be given as a sweet treat.

A dratini should be given a large pool of cool water to swim in, including places to hide and plants to eat. They don't dry out as easily as the horsea line and therefore don't need to be submerged as often, but it's still good enrichment for them. Don't put fish in the dratini's pool; they can nip at their external gills or carry diseases that can harm the dragon. Per usual with aquatic pokémon, make sure the water is kept clean at all times.

To contrast with charmander, dratini have a calm disposition and are often considered very easy to train. However, as they're so gentle and averse to conflict, training them to battle may be more difficult. As always, positive reinforcement of desired behaviors instead of punishment is the way to go.

Dratini regularly shed their skin. Don't tug on the skin if it isn't coming off; let the dratini shed it naturally. Pulling on shedding skin can cause damage to the scales underneath if they aren't finished developing yet, or cause tears and bleeding.

As a dragonair:

As a dratini develops into a dragonair, its external gills and forehead horn will lengthen. It will also develop crystal-like growths on its neck and tail. It's not quite understood what these crystals are; they're thought to be concentrations of dragon energy, or reservoirs for the dragonair to store such energy.

Dragonair take a long time to mature into their final stage of life, but eventually they will begin developing arms, legs, and wings. During this transitional stage, they will eat more than usual to gain the necessary energy to grow. While they can regenerate lost toes and fingers, try to take care that they don't lose them in the first place. Injuries are stressful and can cause issues with the dragonair's health.

As a dragonite:

While dragonite are naturally gentle creatures, they are still very large and strong and need to be taught to be aware of that strength to avoid hurting people accidentally. Even a simple hug that is too tight can cause bruising or bone fractures. Dragonite are highly intelligent and can learn by example, so it's up to you as a trainer to set boundaries with your dragonite regarding what is and isn't acceptable force.

As dragonite are calm by nature, they don't often need to be taught how to be bored like charmander do, but they are intelligent creatures in need of stimulation and social interaction. Taking your dragonite on walks, letting them meet other people and pokémon, playing games such as fetch, going flying or swimming, or simply sitting and spending time together are all good activities to do with your dragonite.

A dragonite's wings are too small to allow it to fly, so their "flight" is actually floating.

Their ability to regenerate limbs persists into their final stage of life, and a healthy dragonite should be able to regrow a limb within months. Obviously the loss of a limb should be avoided in the first place, as it causes severe stress and pain, but it won't cause permanent disability.

Happy birthday Scottish TV host and entertainer Craig Ferguson born in Glasgow, on May 17th, 1962.

Ferguson was born in Stobhill Hospital and brought up not far from where I now live in nearby Cumbernauld. He admits to growing up "chubby and bullied" At age sixteen hen left Cumbernauld High School and began an apprenticeship to be an electronics technician at a local factory of American company Burroughs Corporation.

In the early 1980s, Ferguson drummed in punk bands for a few years before a bartending job led him to Michael Boyd, the artistic director of the Tron Theatre. Boyd talked Ferguson into giving acting a shot, which Ferguson soon did, finding the comedy prong of the art too compelling to ignore.

Ferguson soon created an outrageous—and successful—stage character called Bing Hitler. On top of the local success he was experiencing, Ferguson used the experience as a backdrop from which to move into mainstream acting roles.

Craig Ferguson’s first TV appearance came on an episode of the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf in 1988, and it was enough to get Ferguson to head overseas to the United States for his first role on American TV. The part was playing a teacher in the pilot episode of High (1989), which starred Gwyneth Paltrow and Zach Braff. The pilot wasn’t picked up, though, and Ferguson headed back to Scotland.

Once back in the UK, Ferguson found that roles came sporadically before he landed his own BBC show The Ferguson Theory in 1994 While the sketch comedy show put the funnyman front and centre, it only lasted five episodes.

When Theory was no more, Ferguson packed his bags once again for America. But this time he’d find a lot more success waiting for him than he did years before. When Ferguson joined The Drew Carey Show as Nigel Wick in 1996, his run lasted several seasons and led to the actor becoming a known quantity in the world of U.S. television.

Ferguson’s busy life on TV and the big screen got a lot busier in January 2005, when he took over the late-night comedy series The Late Late Show. Once it found its footing, Ferguson’s show was another hit, earning its first Emmy nomination a year into its run. Mixed in with his work on the show were several high-profile big-screen roles, often voice-over work, in movies like How to Train Your Dragon, Winnie the Pooh and Brave.

Ferguson, who became an American citizen in 2008, is also an author, publishing Between the Bridge and the River and American on Purpose.

On 28 April 2014, Ferguson announced he would be leaving The Late Late Show at the end of 2014, with the final episode airing on 19th December that year.

Ferguson is a recovering alcoholic, sober since 18th February 1992, another Scot who has dealt with his depression, he admits to having considered suicide before giving up the bottle.

In 2017 he released a six-episode web show with his wife, Megan Wallace Cunningham, titled Couple Thinkers. For two seasons from 2021, Ferguson hosted the American game show The Hustler, which airs on ABC.

In 2022, an adaptation of Ferguson's film Saving Grace (2000) was announced as a stage musical in which Ferguson will portray a "villainous banker". It was adapted by April De Angelis from Ferguson's and Mark Crowdy's screenplay, with music by fellow Scot KT Tunstall. In October 2022, the musical was confirmed to run for a limited twelve performances at Riverside Studios from 22 November until 4 December 2022 as an "intimate first run.

The rumor mill has been buzzing that Craig is thinking about returning to the talk show ranks In a recent interview he said;

“I have meetings next week in Los Angeles for a show,” Ferguson said, calling from New England while on vacation with his family. “I’m considering doing a show but I just don’t want to do one every day. I like doing a talk show, but not enough to do it every single day.”

WHISKEYYYY

I came up with a story idea that made me tear up

Angst/fluff with Aether and Ghoul!reader(afab or gn, idc) if you're OK with that

Basically reader and aether were married in a past life, they died tragically by one another's sides before being born again as ghouls in the pit

Now they have a rivalry going on until aether recognizes readers singing

Angst

Fluff

AUQGWGQGWGWG

(This totally wasn't based off that one scene from how to train your dragon two with stoic and valka)

BUT LIKE-

Hello, my dear Tree, I apologize for this taking so long. Life has been a bitch and I just finally found the time and motivation to complete your request!

I loved this concept. I'm not sure if I got all the angst you wanted but I didn't want this to be 3 days long like a lot of my fics tend to be. Now I did include the song you were talking about because I absolutely adore it!

Basically, Aether and YN were Vikings in the 1500s, married with some rugrats. How they died is up to you, but I personally think they died trying to save the other

Listen to this when you get to the singing part!

-Love Whiskey <3

‘This is the last fucking straw, that little imp of a Multi has gotten on my last nerve and they’re gonna learn not to mess with my guitar!’ Aether thought as he stormed through the abbey in search of his victim. 

Mirage, the newest summon to the band, brought forth from the Pit to be a backstage roadie and as a possible stand-in for one of the band ghouls if the need comes to light. But while everyone else in the band had fallen in love with the spritely little ghoul, even the ever-grumpy Dewdrop had succumbed to their charms and become their best friend. It seemed to be their life’s mission to make Aether’s life a living hell. Constantly hiding his picks, Bluetooth amp cord, helmet, left shoes, stealing food he had placed in the fridge to eat later, and had even marked with his name, his spot at the table that he had always sat at since even during Terzo’s time, and other irritable actions that left the large ghoul reeling and annoyed. 

Today though, Mirage had gone a step too far. On a dare from Swiss, they had messed with the tuning on Aether’s guitar, turning them every which direction but had ended up accidentally leaving his E string so tight that the moment he tried to fix it, it snapped and then the Quint ghoul had to spend 15 minutes finding new strings and restringing his guitar then finish tuning his guitar while the others played without him. Mirage, sensing they fucked up when they heard the deep snarl of annoyance from the stage, had slinked out of the practise room as soon as possible and is currently hiding with a plan to wait out Aether’s rage before apologizing. 

Stomping into the common room, he spots Swiss lounging nonchalantly on the couch with a purring Rain in his lap, watching some random tv show about fish. “Where are they?” Aether huffs, crossing his arms over his broad chest.

Swiss doesn’t even look at him, “Who?” he asks boredly, scratching between Rain’s horns. Aether gives a low growl, “You know damn well who I am looking for?” Swiss groans, pausing the tv show to Rain’s discretion, “If you mean Miri because they messed with your guitar and made it pop, then no. I’m telling you because you’re just gonna go yell at them over a mistake. If you’re gonna yell at someone, yell at me because I’m the one who dared them to do it. They only twisted it twice. We didn’t realize you had it that tight to begin with” he defends the younger ghoul, tired of seeing Aether and them bicker.

Ever since they had been summoned, the little Multi was a flirty trickster just like Swiss and had seemed to have developed a little crush on Aether. That’s why they pranked and teased him so much. But for whatever reason, Aether always was ticked off by the little ghoul for whatever reason and it usually ended with Mirage getting reprimanded or yelled at by the older ghoul. 

Aether rolls his eyes, “You know damn well that little imp is always messing with me, this was a step too far. Sitting in my seat and stealing my shoes is one thing, this interfered with practice! You know how Copia gets when we have to sit out for any amount of time, he got upset with me until I told him what had happened, he’s the one who told me to find Mirage. Now, tell me where the fuck they are before I hide your vape and pods” Swiss’ eyes widen, Aether was serious about that, the last time this happened he lost them for 2 months and had bought a new one when Aether had dropped his old one on the table in front of him; all because he had teased him in front of the audience at a Ritual.

Swiss huffs, “Fine, they're in that little practice room that Mountain uses to practice. Just leave my shit alone” Aether nods, beginning to storm down the hallway when Rain calls after him, “Hey Aeth,” the large ghoul turns and raises a brow, “Please don’t yell at them, they really didn’t mean too…They hate when you yell at them, it makes them cry'' the Water ghoul’s request makes his widen. Aether never realized that whenever he would scold them that it would make them cry, they always seemed so uncaring and nonchalant. The rhythm guitarist sighs, “I won’t yell…but I am still gonna give them a punishment” he says and with that, he is heading down the hallway towards where the little practice room Mountain will sometimes spend his nights in if he can’t sleep.

As he gets near the room, he realizes that they didn’t fully close the door because he can hear something musical, but when he gets closer he begins to make out words

“...ride the waves of life

If you will marry me

No scorching sun

Nor freezing cold

Will stop me on my journey

If you will promise me your heart

And love me for eternity…”

It feels like his heart stops beating in his chest. Aether had not heard that song since he was human. His spouse during that stage of his existence would sing that to him all the time, to their children, they would perform it together at social gatherings where he’d play a guitar and they’d sing it as a duet. They had made it up specifically for him after they had met during a siege of their village and different aspects of how their relationship until proposing to him with it

Creeping closer, he feels tears welling in his eyes as he sees the little Multi singing and dancing with their eyes closed,

“My dearest one, my darling dear,

Your mighty words astound me

But I've no need of mighty deeds

When I feel your arms around me!”

They begin to spin slowly in a circle and as his part comes up, they deepen their voice comically and it almost sounds like…oh, they're mimicking his voice?

“But I would bring you rings of gold

I'd even sing you poetry (Oh would you)

And I would keep you from all harm!

If you would stay beside me!”

Turning and acting as if lecturing someone, the smile on their face grows, 

“I have no use for rings of gold,

I care not for your poetry,

I only want your hand to hold

I only want you near me!

To love, to kiss!

To sweetly hold!”

They begin to spin faster as they speed up the words, 

“For the dancing and the dreaming!

Through all life's sorrows and delights!

I'd keep your love beside me!

I'll swim and sail on savage seas

With ne'er a fear of drowning,

And gladly ride the waves of life

If you will marry me!”

They hold out the last note until he can’t stand it anymore and opens the door. Jumping, they stare at him for a moment before they immediately launch into apologies as he slowly walks towards them, “Oh, Aether, I am so sorry! I didn’t mean to make your string pop, I didn’t realize it was that tight. I am so sorry, I swear, I’ll buy you enough bananas to last three human lifetimes. Just do-” they’re cut off when he yanks them into a hug. 

“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you..” he whispers, shoulders shuddering as he releases the tears he had been holding. “Wha..what do you mean Aeth? You didn’t know me in the pi-” Aether cups their face and places his thumb over their lips, just as he used to in their human life, but then he’d finish it with a kiss over his thumb. “I know it’s you, (Y/N)...you were singing our song” he whispers

Mirage stares at him, or well as he knows them, (Y/N), “I…you remember me?” they ask, voice shaking as if they’re also on the verge of tears. He nods, “I..I would think of you late at night and when I was in the Pit. I convinced myself that such a wonderful creature like you would never end up there like me but…here you are. I just, didn’t recognize you…I’m sorry” he whispers

Indeed, their formerly (H/C) locks turned (Whatever color you want) and their (E/C) had become rose gold with a hint of a metallic sheen of the former color surrounding the iris. “Yeah…after we…died, I thought that’s where I belonged because of what happened. So that’s where I ended up” They shrug. Taking a deep breath, “I am so sorry for being so hard on you…you would just..it reminded me of you and it pissed me off because I missed you so badly and it felt as if the dark lord was toying with me. Can you ever forgive me” he whispers, cupping their cheeks and leaning their foreheads together

Smiling, (Y/N) cups his own and presses their lips to their husband’s. it was a kiss filled with all of the longing, love, affection, and need that had accumulated over the years. Clinging to one another as if they would be ripped away if they let up for even a moment, Aether lifts them and wraps their legs tightly around his waist so they can be closer together

After a few minutes, (Y/N) pulls away, the Quint ghoul whining and trying to follow but is shushed by the same move he had done on them earlier, this time including the kiss and that shit-eating grin he loves so much, “Does that answer your question?”
