my problem rn is that I really like the idea of putting Ethedis in a sickfic scenario right? love the designated healer character getting forced downtime and being tenderly cared for for a change. that's the good stuff. BUT, dangit Tolkien, apparently elves can't even get sick >:( so I guess the only way to knock her into forced downtime is to use the good ol plinko and stab her a bunch or something. the lore forced me into this you see, there was simply no other way.

Why did it have to be us?

tbh in my headcanon conception of them zutara is not super pda-heavy. they like being near to each other, they can read each other’s expressions really well, they gravitate toward one another almost without thought (even before they get together), and they’re very much the “sit on the same side of the booth” couple and pretty much always know where each other is in a room at a given time.

but those intimate gestures—holding hands, kissing, gently cupping each other’s faces, comforting embraces—are something they largely like to keep private, something just for them.

I feel like 'Cried So Hard It Briefly Rewrote My Personality' is not the right description for what happened last night, but it was weird to be so mentally worn out that I no longer had any desire to draw or work on any creative-writing projects and so this morning I sat down and did assignments with perfect peace and focus. is this how people Normally feel as they go through life.

i am finally in 1/3 of a mood to finally get some of this down. kinda. hhhh

anyway my precious, beloved turtle daughter Mei Pieh Chi/Venus de Milo is a cultivator (sort of) and I am absolutely going to be fast, loose, and entirely lazy 'justifying' it because it's now 97 fuckenheit degrees outside.

first, point of contention, during the East Meets West five parter that served to introduce Venus she declares herself 'shinobi'. which, was so supremely silly and massively dependent on the audience of the time (late 90s U.S.A) being monolingual. mostly.

... that's more of a hindsight nitpick tbh. I mean Venus used 'shaman' interchangeably to refer to what she and Chung I were on the show so why wouldn't-- ahem. anyway.

(i know why but I'm not about to get into asian-american history and asian depiction in hollywood 101, it also just became 100 fuckenheit degrees.)

functionally in the show, the distinction between the boys being 'ninja' and venus being 'shinobi' started and stopped with venus' spirituality and attunement with the supernatural. she fought with punches and kicks like the boys, used her cape to fight and her kai mai balls like the boys used their signature weapons. (the shit with the fan was because her toy came with fans, she never actually fought with them in the show).

now onto the reasons why, for purposes of understanding original Venus' magic/mysticism and having a frame of reference, I would categorize her as a 'cultivator' rather than 'shinobi'/shaman.

though to clarify I wouldn't necessarily ascribe actual daoist cultivation with what Venus does. i mean sure she wears the taijitu on her arm. and her little leg garter but uhhhhhhh. considering what she actually does in the show plus the show's tone? i'd more easily say she's like a modern day xianxia cultivator.

look at her, i love her so much. and now

the list of shit Venus canonically did and said on the show about her 'magic'.

She was taught neigong techniques and,

She's part of a sect, to watch and guard against the return of evil dragons (she failed but)

She can uh... idk what this is, calling up an old version of yourself to call your current self cringe until you quit being The Shredder?

She can do the Jedi Mind Trick

She has a 'revealing' powder

She can astral project/plane walk

She's capable of time/space displacement

She develops her own techniques

She's got her collection of medicinal herbs

She's a linguist.

She has... uh. "Mandarin itch powder" (file under: Shit Before 2001)

She's skilled in telepathy!

Also uh "long distance telepathy" and i guess candy telelocation?

She employs kai mai balls (that are also used as glue traps, long range blunt force impact etc.)

She's trained in cape fighting

She's the team medic

She studies up because in-show she's a masterless student

She can decode mystical cyphers

She can pick locks with magic and with tools

She can cast Fireball, a very low level Fireball

Also telekinesis

and in 5e she'd be a Wizard
