*gif isn’t mine*

“No, this isn’t right. Almost… no. Is her nose rounder or more pointy?”

You toss and turn as you hear your boyfriend’s mumbling.

“Oh, great, she moved,” you hear him sigh.

Your eyes flutter open, sleep weighing them down. You slowly reach your hands out from the warm blankets, rubbing your eyes before stretching. Your back pops and ankles crack as you extend your body over the bed, catching Xavier’s attention.

“Did I wake you?” he asks, worry evident in his voice.

“No, I was already waking up,” you shake your head. “But did I mess up your drawing?”

A light chuckle echos in his room. “No, you didn’t.”

“Oh, really? Because I heard you having some trouble finding out what shape my nose is. From how much you stare at my face, I would’ve assumed that you would know it by heart now,” you tease him, smiling as you stretch once more.

“You’re already so perfect in real life, I wanted to capture that in my drawing,” he states.

You let out a breathy laugh as you smile. You peek open your eyes to peer at him, seeing as his hair is pulled back into a half-pony tail. “You know the way to a girl’s heart, Xavier.”

“You know I try my best,” he quips. You close your eyes, turning onto your left side and cuddle the pillow. You hear Xavier move to the other side of the bed, sitting down beside your legs.

“Trying to get the right angle?” you hum. “Yep. Would you like to see what I have so far?” he asks.

“Sure,” you say, forcing your eyes to open. You sit up on your elbows, jaw becoming slack as you look at his drawing. “Xavi, this looks nothing like me.”

He furrows his brows. “What do you mean?”

“You must be drawing your other, more pretty girlfriend,” you snort, laying back down with a thump.

Xavier rolls his eyes. “Oh, come on. You know you’re gorgeous.”

“Not when I’ve just woken up,” you scoff.

He sets his drawing down on his desk, walking back to his bed. He sits down closer to your head, cupping your cheek. His thumb gently moves your face out from the pillows. You nuzzle into his warm touch, glancing up at him.

“You are so wrong, Y/n,” he says softly.

Your ears suddenly feel warm and you shy away, sinking into the bed. “You’re only saying that because I’m your girlfriend.”

“You have no idea how much I talked about you before we started dating,” he chuckles. “Enid and Ajax couldn’t stand being around me.”

You smile a little. “Oh, really?”

“Yep,” he grins. “Well, what did you tell them?” you inquire. “And make sure to tell me in full detail.”

“I’ll try. We wouldn’t want you to get a big head now, would we?” he teases.

You let out an exasperated sigh. “Get on with it.”

He smiles and leans in, his lips inches apart from yours. “For starters, I would say how pretty your eyes are and how cute your smile is. And I would compliment your makeup and how skillful and creative you are with it. How amusing it was to see that little smirk you get after correcting someone in class. I would say how nice your voice was to listen to, and how intimidating you seemed,” he explains.

“How am I intimidating?” you ask, a little smirk on your face. “Wouldn’t you like to know,” he remarks.

His other hand sneaks underneath his blankets, finding your bare thigh. You suck in a breath, watching his face in anticipation.

“I also used to say how great you looked in a button down.” his hand skims up higher, the pads of his fingers ghosting over your panties. “I would comment on your skirts nicely frame your ass. How sexy you look in your stockings.”

He presses his first finger over your clothed clit. You let out a little gasp, trying to regain your composure.

“You would say that to Enid and Ajax?” you raise your brow.

He shrugs lightly. “I said those things to myself instead.”

You hum in reply. “Anything else?”

“Just how you are the most beautiful, intelligent, creative, strong person I know,” he grins. You can’t help but smile with him as you see the outer corners of his eyes crinkle.

“You are so sweet, Xavi. Thank you for saying all those nice things about me.”

“Would you be open to me showing them to you?” he asks, his voice now low. He stares deeply into your eyes, making your heart drop to your feet.

“How would you do that?” you ask, playing dumb.

He doesn’t answer. He closes the gap between you two, kissing you softly. You pull your arms out from under the covers, reaching for his shoulders and neck. Your right hand cups the nape of his neck, your left hand burying your fingers into his soft and tangled hair. You sit up without breaking the kiss, you press your chest up against his. His hands grip your waist, fingertips sliding under his shirt that you’re wearing.

One of your hands drop to his thigh, reaching for his pants. He pulls away quickly, grabbing your hand and holding it away from him.

“Don’t even think about it,” he says. You frown in confusion, “why?”

“Lay down,” he commands. His eyes bore into yours and suddenly feel obligated to do anything he says.

You lay back down, watching as Xavier slips under the covers. He towers over you, one hand resting by your head while the other is playing with the bottom of your shirt.

“I told you I was gonna show you, didn’t I?” he asks.

You smile widely, nodding excitedly. “You indeed did.”

“Don’t worry about me then. This morning is about you,” he says.

“Luckily me,” you hum.

He shakes his head. “Lucky me.” he dives down and kisses you again, his warm hand slithering up your shirt. The pads of his fingers skim over your hardened nipple. You sigh in reply, eyes fluttering close as his kisses reach your neck. He sucks a bruise right below your ear.

“Mm, I better not have to cover this up with makeup,” you say.

“No promises,” he whispers, irrupting butterflies in your tummy. He lifts your shift up and you lift your arms up, helping him slip it off. He takes a look at your almost-naked figure. Your red panties are still on, hugging your hips perfectly. He sucks in a breath and smiles, something he does every time he sees a part of you, or all of you. He never fails to do it, and it never fails to make you feel special.

“Lucky me,” he mumbles to himself, taking in your beauty.

“Xavier,” you whine. Although you love the attention, you’re a little too horny than you’d care to admit. You need him.

“What, pretty girl?” he asks, his eyes flipping to yours. “Don’t just sit there. Do something,” you answer.

He chuckles, “you are so needy in the morning, you know that?”

You shrug, “you’re fault.” “Oh, is that so?” he cocks his right brow.

You grab his hand that’s on your boob, bringing it down to your panties so he can feel the small wet patch. His dick strains against his pajama pants.

“See? You’re fault,” you say. “I feel so bad,” he says, voice dripping with sarcasm. “Guess I should do something about it.”

You roll your eyes as he keeps playing games. If he didn’t love seeing you struggle and beg, he would already have his head between your thighs. But seeing you whine and huff is equally as rewarding than making you come.

“Please, Xavier. We don’t have long until we have to go to class,” you beg, pulling at his shirt.

“Well, since you said please,” he hums. He brings his head down to your boobs, putting his mouth on one as his hand encompasses the other. You sigh lightly, resting your hands on his shoulders. His tongue flicks your nipple, rolling the other between his thumb and third finger.

Need grows in your tummy. You buck your hips up, meeting his thigh that’s between your legs. Your voice shakes as moan, lifting your hips up again. Your clit rubs against his thigh, almost giving you the satisfaction you crave.

“So needy,” Xavier mumbles against your skin.

You reply by grabbing at his shirt, your fingers hooking around the waistband of his pants. “Want you, Xavier. Need you,” you breathe out.

You watch as his cheeks become rosy. You smile to yourself, your hands slithering under his shirt and running over his chest.

He begins to kiss down your chest, not being able to take it anymore. If there’s one thing he wants most in this moment, it would be to make you shake and scream him name.

“You are so perfect,” he hums against your skin. He places passionate but feverish kisses across your body, hands grabbing at your thighs and ass. You look down at him, not being able to contain a smile as he covers your whole body with his love. He kisses your hip, sucking softly on the skin near your pussy. He’s so close, you can almost feel his tongue on your clit.

You push your hips up to his face, his nose bumping into your thigh.

“Patience, princess,” he mumbles, his hot breath fanning over your skin. Your underwear dampens and he chuckled as the wet spot grows darker. He hooks his fingers onto your underwear, pulling them off painfully slow. It feels like a million years as you watch him drag them down to your feet. He discards them onto the floor, settling himself between your thighs.

He starts to nibble on the inner corner of your legs. You huff impatiently, tangling your fingers in his hair and trying to move him to where you want him. But he’s stronger than you. One of his hands takes yours, pinning it to the bed. Wet kisses line your legs. He sucks down on one of the most sensitive parts of your inner thighs, making you jolt.

“Please, Xavier. Please,” you gasp. “Please what, pretty?” he asks, his eyes meeting yours.

You groan internally. He looks so sexy between your thighs. Those big, innocent green eyes staring up at you. His pupils are blown and you can see your own reflection.

“If you don’t tell me what you want, I can’t give it to you,” he hums.

“Eat me out, please,” you moan pathetically. You feel his cheekbones raise against your skin as he smiles.

You watch as his mouth attaches to your clit. Your head lulls back in relief and pleasure. You feel his tongue flick your clit, rubbing circles against the throbbing bud. He brings his mouth down to your slit, slipping his tongue into your hole. He swirls his tongue, shaking his head from side to side.

His tongue lips a stripe up your pussy and lands back onto your clit. He sucks softly but firmly, taking the hand that isn’t holding yours and slowly inserting two fingers into your pussy. Your lips gush liquids, making a little puddle on his bedsheets. He begins to move his fingers inside of you, his tongue lapping around your clit.

“Fuu-uck, Xavier. Just like that, yeah, ju-just like that,” you praise, your hand gripping his hair. His pony tail falls out from your fingers and moving his head. His hair falls onto your skin, tickling you slightly.

You let out a breathy giggle. It gets swallowed up by a moan as he adds another finger. You spread your thighs, your muscles clenching his fingers. Your moans get louder, egging Xavier on. His lips suck on your skin as his tongue licks up and down your clit. His fingers move inside of you faster, more of your juices spilling out around his fingers. The only sounds in the room are your moans, your pussy, and his panting.

“Xavier, baby. I-I’m close,” you stammer. Your thighs enclose around his face. You begin to ride his tongue, your nails digging into the back of his neck. He lets go of your hand that he’s holding, gripping onto your thigh. He holds your leg close to his cheek, wanting - no needing - to be engulfed by your scent and taste. His fingers dig into your skin as his hand that’s fingering you begins to move faster.

“Ah, ah, ah!” you pant, your chest puffing up and down. Your tummy tightens and you feel like your bladders about to let lose. Your body comes to a stop, all the muscles in your body tightening. You come so hard, the hand that’s on his bed almost rips the sheets off.

He watches your face as you unravel, feeling his own underwear become wet with pre-cum. You’re so beautiful. The way your head is titled back, your mouth wide open. He loves the way your eyes are screwed shut in pleasure. He can’t help but smile, not being able to stop admiring you.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” you ramble. He slows his movements, stopping his fingers but keeping his tongue moving.

“Ohmygod, fuck. Xavier, please,” you begin to pull away from him, the stimulation almost painful.

He stops, sitting up on his knees. He sucks his fingers dry, running his other hand through his hair. He looks down at the puddle you made, a prideful smirk taking over his features.

“Someone was really wet,” he says. “Your fault,” you say.

“I guess it was,” he chuckles. He dives his head back down, kissing your calves all the way up to your face. You bask in his love, your body tingling in each place he kisses. He holds your sides gently, his hands snaking to the small of your back. He kisses you sweetly. You can taste yourself, your tongue running across his bottom lip to capture the tanginess.

“That feel good, gorgeous?” he asks against your lips. “So good,” you breathe out.

“I think we should start every morning off like that, yeah?” he suggests

“I’ll be exhausted every day, then,” you chuckle. He shrugs, one of his hands moving to the underside of your boob. “As long as you’re exhausted from me.”

“Oh, shut up,” you snort, rolling your eyes and pushing him away lightly.

“You would love that, too,” he smirks.

You shake your head with a big smile on your face. “You wish.”

Client Testimonials & Feedback

Thank you for the tip 🌹

Picture 1

You'll feel more decisive about your goals and your life and actively move forward in regards to it whether you have a plan or not you are aware that even if you take one step in regards to your desires every single day, even if it's a change of lifestyle, habit or mindset, they will all up.

You may have felt rejected or feared rejection in the past that has made you question your self worth immensely, it has made you shut down that tender part of you, it only comes out when you're by yourself or the few people you know and trust. You'll be slowly letting go of that wound of feeling rejected, unseen and unheard. You may be drawn more towards your faith at this time but it won't be a surface level thing, you might want to learn more, pray more or do more devotional acts as you'll realize that a lot of your prayers are being answered.

You're no longer the damsel in distress or someone who can be easily taken advantage of either. You'll likely attract a few people who are a bit obsessively drawn to you, some may have good intentions but others would want to control you or have ulterior motives, so please use your best judgement and listen to your gut.

You'll likely become more social, recognised for your words or the way you express yourself or teach things which make others feel comforted and heard. You might also begin expressing yourself in the form of writing, singing, photography, vlogging etc

You'll want to indulge in the luxuries life has to offer even more. There is also possibility of travel within the country for starters and a lot of back and forth.

Be more protective of your energy as well otherwise you'll feel moody and depleted.

Picture 2

You might feel like you're in the spotlight or you'll be fixating on the bigger picture of something and nothing else. A path you had chosen months back has led you to where you are right now, good or bad, you'll make peace with it once you realize that it's on you to change your direction or do what's need to be done to steer your life in the right direction. There's a sense of enlightenment that will feel very personal and spiritual to you, it will lead you to drop the act you had been partaking in for long.

You may have rejected help and guidance in the past that may have come to bite you and kept you in the same cycle, you'll feel inclined to revisit the guidance and break free from this chain.

Some of you might find a home, change homes, start working from home or finally feel at home where you can drop your mask and finally be yourself.

You'll stop being double minded and finally see yourself blooming in different areas of your life be it studies or career or both. Like minded people will come to you. You might find love but some of you might let go of it as it could feel suffocating or restricting, you will feel sorrow but I also see you being held by someone either a friend or a new lover when this happens. Your needs will be mer regardless.

You'll be aggresive in your pursuits and some of you might finally step into the shoes of being a leader instead of following orders. You'll find your people and may also go to different festivals, fairs, exhibitions etc

Avoid overly physically exherting yourself and spicy food, Avoid lashing out at people. Stay hydrated aswell.

Picture 3

Too many choices in love, studies, career direction, hobbies etc you might feel a bit overwhelmed at first since the energy might feel scattered, so you'll proceed to expressing yourself more creatively and openly because of your new found confidence in your body and enthusiasm towards life. A lot of your creativity will come via your dreams, or engaging in fantasy literature and media or meditating or simply day dreaming.

Your creativity as well as beauty will draw in more career opportunities as well networking with people. You will also be actively addressing the ways you engage in self sabotage and it will be your responsibility to work through the same.

You'll be blessed with a wish or a couple of them being granted, you'll be in your receptive state. You might just accept the "delulu is the solulu" (I can't believe I typed that) saying or to put in better words, you'll simply allow your desires and dreams to manifest without you attaching conditions to it or thinking of the what ifs and how's etc

There will be deep transformation for you, big ones. Be it the way you look, dress, are living your life, your existing relationships, your job etc

You'll find unlikely resources or finances from unknown/hidden means or in form of inheritances.

You can look forward to a sense of peace you've been lacking. You might be prone to astral travel, intense dreams etc avoid or at least be mindful of recreational drug use or drinking, as well as water bodies.

Some of you might be traveling abroad for cultural exchange or studies or even for love. Do embrace the love that comes your way.

Picture 4

The courage and resources to get up and leave. Simply rising above something successfully no matter how weighed down you feel or have felt till now. You might also be juggling multiple things at this time (jobs, work and studies, hobbies, ideas, investments, applications etc) you'll find more balance somehow you'll also find clarity in your next steps.

You'll also be more assertive and stand up for yourself against someone who has held some form of power over you. You'll also realize that projecting omeone else's anger, mindset or bullying, towards yourself or others is not going to break the cycle. There is a theme of walking out, away and relocating heavily for you. But there is inevitable triumph in the path you're taking. Maybe in the past you've been procrastinating on it but that phase has come to an end.

A select few of you might also be going through your saturn return at this time so you might feel tested but you're simply having a period of shedding old skin and rising from the ashes of what was barren all along. You'll bring in more structure and discipline into your life in the process which in turn will reward you with joy and being content with your achievements instead of looking at your to do list for the next big thing.

Try engaging or creating things that make you feel light-hearted or entertained or it was something that was taught to you as a child, I feel you'll find the 'lost art' to something and recreate it.

Let yourself have fun and feel joy for what seems like the first time in your life. You'll realize life wasn't just unrewarded labour, that was an old way of being and you're stepping into a reality that feels a lot more comforting and compassionate than the one you're leaving behind.

8th house lord through the houses ✧˖°

vedic astrology

disclaimer ~ this is based on my own research & opinions, so if it doesn’t resonate please let it go. this should go without saying but please do not plagiarise heh

how to find your 8th house lord ~ for starters please only use your vedic/ sidereal chart & whole sign house system. the 8th house lord planet is indicated solely by the sign that falls within the 8th house of a chart. look for the house in your chart where your 8th house lord planet is sitting in. i have included a guide at the very bottom of this post as well but if you need clarification feel free to dm me x

✧˖° 8th lord in 1st house

these people are very seductive & alluring! high physical sex appeal & most likely has very high sex drives. they have a very mysterious & hypnotic presence. highly mystical & intuitive - it is very hard to deceive these people. sensitive & has a very emotionally vulnerable side to them - they try to keep this side of them low-key. comes across as mystical, deep & sensitive. may have health issues that deteriorate their vitality whether mental or physical - keep on top of your well-being. these people have powerful potential to transform one’s self physically - like they can drastically transform other’s perception of them. as per stereotypes, may be prone to seclusion & secrecy on a characteristic level

✧˖° 8th lord in 2nd house

people with this placement have very sexually attractive facial features, especially the eyes & lips. seductive voices! these people are very ‘sensually seductive’ - if that makes sense. may have very deep issues related to self-worth. may be prone to disordered eating & consumption of intoxicates as a means to pacify psychological issues - please be careful of diet culture & intoxication if you have this placement. ability to benefit off other people’s money - just saying reminds me of sugar baby archetypes (8th house is the finance of others & 2nd house is material items). other wise, benefits financially from work related to investigation, research, psychology, astrology, mystical practices, sex, finances or health 

✧˖° 8th lord in 3rd house

people with this placement may be very interested in occult, fantasy, mystical, true crime or mysterious topics. has a mind for mystery. these people are most likely shy - especially when it comes to talking to others. seductive & hypnotic way with words - other people may often take what you say as suggestive even if it’s not. amazing placement for creative writing, especially fantasy or criminal genres. these people may be very sexual inclined, however be careful of not over doing it with sexual activity or becoming too infatuated with it (8th house is sex & 3rd house is hobbies). may be interested in longevity & anti-aging

✧˖° 8th lord in 4th house

highly intuitive, empathetic & good at supporting others. has a great need to connect with others intimately & usually does so intensely, especially within emotional & sexual relationships. for this reason sex & love tend to go together for these people, they often desire devotional bonds/ relationships. these people may harbour or bottle up feelings of shame, isolation & victimhood. usually these feelings are associated with the mother, childhood or home environment in some way. mother may be a scorpionic person or if there are no afflictions the mother may just has interest in spirituality/ mysticism. these people should be very cautious of attracting people who treated poorly within their intimate relationships 

✧˖° 8th lord in 5th house

these people most likely express themselves creatively in a scorpionic way, whether that is intentional or not - megan fox has this placement & she has always been subject to roles that objectify & sexualise her (8th house is sex appeal & 5th house is theatrical entertainment). these people likely enjoy having sex very much, especially within romantic/ committed relationships. has a good understanding of occult, taboo, sexual topics although may be to overly obsessed with these themes. their creativity comes in sudden bursts of energy. if this person has children/ is wanting to the relationship with them may be challenging & dramatic. most likely able to financially support their children. people with this placement should be extra wary of accidental pregnancy

✧˖° 8th lord in 6th house 

profound ability & strength to overcome their obstacles whether they are financial, emotional or psychological. prone to feelings of victimization & vulnerability, be very cautious of others who may try to take advantage of you especially sexually or monetarily. prone to other’s competing with them due to their sex appeal, attracts jealousy from other people - jealousy could even be very low-key, ik this sounds bad but it’s just because you’re so gorgeous! may routinely deal with unwanted attention. very talented in research & investigation. monetary gains can come from disasters, health issues, insurance or injuries. take special care of your own health & the health of your pets x 

✧˖° 8th lord in the 7th house

these people relate to others in a very primal, seductive or intimate way, vice versa. people with this place have many admirers for this reason but be cautious of other people maybe getting the wrong impression of where your interests lay. may be the types who may are good at stalking/ gathering information on a love interest usually via social media. enjoys having sex & is sexually skilful. likely to desire marriage/ commitment. your partner may be passionate & mysterious, a scorpionic type of person. may have sudden disruptions or changes in relationships & marriages

✧˖° 8th lord in the 8th house

deeply interested in occult or taboo subjects, understands & contemplates things deeply. may be detached & caught up with fantasy rather than reality. may be prone to disturbing fascinations related to occult, hidden aspects of life or sex. psychic & intuitive. highly sexually appealing & connects with others intensely during sex. likely to desire commitment & marriage. sometimes this applies but work toward bettering negative thinking patterns & emotions like spite, meanness & manipulative tendencies. additionally, always take care of your mental, emotional & physical health x

"Now, remember, we don't know what all she's been through: she's sleeping right now and may wake up in a couple of hours"

"Yes, Medic, I know all that. This isn't my first time" Caretaker smiled warmly.

"Just wanted to make sure, good luck" Medic patted Caretaker on the shoulder and walked out, closing the door behind him.

The house was the usual cookie-cutter house that Caretaker has been in dozens of times. Many people confuse Caretaker and Medic: assuming they have the same role. However, Medic's job is to get Whumpee out of the woods, and then Caretaker steps in. Whumpee is given a room in a house that's creatively referred to as a 'Caretaker house,' which is where Caretaker will live with them full time to help them heal from day to day. Caretaker knows the drill and this house like the back of her hand, yet she still looks across the living room, over at the door that Whumpee is currently sleeping in.

So Caretaker is as quiet as possible when walking up the steps to get to her designated room.

It had been around 4 hours later when Caretaker had finally seen a sign of life coming from Whumpee's room. She was in the kitchen making dinner, with quiet music coming from her record player she set up right next to the TV. Over the years, she's bought a vynl for each of her Whumpees. Once she got to know them: and their favorite artist, she would go out and buy a few records 'inspired' by them and they would sign one.

Caretaker had zoned out making dinner: she snapped out of her thoughts only because she heard a door open: snapping her head over her left shoulder, she was suprised to see a girl who couldn't have been over 17. Her dark curly hair was resting on her shoulders and it seemed as if she was coated in bandages. Her nose was crooked, but not in the natural sense, but in the sense that it had been broken one too many times. "Uh..who are you?" The girl questioned

"I'm Caretaker, I'm gonna be watching over you for a little while"

"Okay, uhm. What's that smell?"

"Dinner, you hungry? I made sure to make some for the both of us"

Even though the girl shook her head no, she still came up and sat at a barstool: still seemingly dazed, as if she couldn't process things at a normal speed. Which is to be expected. "So, would you like to talk, or would you like me to stay quiet"

"Hm?"

"Would you like me to stay silent and let you process things for a little bit. Or, would you rather have a conversation and small talk? I'm not gonna be mad at you for picking either option"

"Tell me who you are"

Caretaker's interest was piqued hearing that: "What do you mean?"

"Why are you here? Who are you? Why do you care? And what happened to that one big burly guy that save me?"

Caretaker thought for a second, and started, "Well, for starters: that man's name was Medic and he's a coworker of mine. A very sweet guy, you were in good hands. And like I said, my name is Caretaker. I am a registered nurse and this is where I am going to be living here for however long it takes you to heal. And I care, because you're human and deserve stability as much as anyone else." Caretaker sets a place of food in front of Whumpee, "Any other burning questions?"

how about 💰with famous!eddie? he could be a rockstar or maybe he’s made it big in the hockey world! whatever creative licenses you want to take is perfect!

maybe something with them having been apart for a little while and just wanting to spoil his girl now that he’s back? fancy dinner and nice music, some good old romance and fluff. <3

- 🦇

thank you for requesting!🫶🏽

.

“Eddie, this is too much.”

“Nonsense.” 

“There aren’t even prices on the menu,” you murmured in a hushed voice as you leaned over the table, staring at him with wide eyes. The restaurant was dimly lit and intimate, and far fancier than you could ever imagine choosing—let alone affording. “The food is all written in French!”

“Calme-toi, mon amour,” Eddie grinned back at you, the French passing past his lips with ease. But you guessed after a world tour or two, it would make sense that he would pick up a few phrases in other languages here and there. “Just enjoy it.”

“Ordering a pizza would have been fine too,” you said to him, something in your stomach twisting at the idea that maybe he expected you to want this. 

“But then I wouldn’t get to see you in that killer dress, baby,” Eddie retorted. “And that would have been a tragedy.” 

Eddie Munson, a joker at heart even if his name was blasted over billboards and stadiums across the world.

Eddie Munson, your dinner date even when he had half the world throwing themselves at his feet of the most renowned rockstar in the music industry today.

He had just finished the North American stint of his tour and he had a gap between he headed down to South America and then Europe. And as much as he begged and pleaded, you couldn’t join him around the country which led to a very needy boy who was desperate to spend every possible moment with you. 

But the boy never did anything half-assed. He was never one to flaunt his money or throw it around, but when it came to you? The boy pulled all the stops. He dolled you up a new outfit he bought earlier that day, treated you with more gifts than you could count before dragging you to the fancy restaurant uptown that you couldn’t even afford to step foot in, let alone dine. 

But this was Eddie Munson and he wanted to give you the world.

“I would’ve worn it for you at home,” you told him, the words light-hearted but the truth still lacing your voice. “All you had to do was ask.”

His eyes darkened. “That is all I have to do?”

“If you asked nicely, I might’ve even let you pick what I wore underneath,” you teased as you reached for the glass of wine, taking a sip as your gaze caught his over the rim.

“Don’t do this, baby,” Eddie groaned, though there was a smile on his face. “You’re gonna make me ask for the bill before the starters come out.” 

You grinned. “Maybe that was a part of my plan.”

He raised his brows. “You have a plan?”

“A girl’s guide to seducing a rockstar,” you told with him a nod of your head. “So far, it’s been working out quite well. I might make the thing my autobiography.”

Eddie’s face broke out into a massive grin and it made your chest feel funny. “If you want a quote, I can happily tell you how effective methods have been.”

“I’ll be sure to mention it in a chapter if I have the space,” you retorted. 

Eddie couldn’t help himself as he reached over the table, taking one of your hands in his as he placed a chaste kiss on the back of your palm. “Have I ever told you how lucky I am to have you?”

Your cheeks burned. “Eddie—”

“No, I mean it, baby,” he said, the sincerity of his emotions evident in his eyes. “All of it wouldn’t be worth it without you. The fame and the touring and the music—you keep me grounded. You make it easy.”

Your chest tightened as you squeezed his hand. “I wanna keep being that for you.” 

“Oh I’m not letting you go anytime soon,” Eddie said with a laugh, placing another kiss on your knuckles. “You’re my inspiration. Which artist gets rid of their muse?” 

“An artist that takes their muse to a restaurant where the bread rolls cost more than her rent,” you retorted playfully.

“Yeah, it’s a bit much,” Eddie laughed before giving you a look, a hint of mischief sparkling in his eyes. “What do you say I pay the bill and we ditch this place? Get some pizza on the way back to eat so I can enjoy that dress of yours when we get home.”

“I’d say you’re gonna have to carry me because these heels are killing my feet.”

Eddie grinned. “Anything for my muse.”

Tarot Project - N°33

This is yet another tarot card- strangely, the first I drew for the MCU. Obviously, it was motivated by the ending of the last show I saw, which did not left me indifferent.

(it broke me and I'll never be the same again)

So here is Loki, burdened with glorious purposes, as The Magician.

(If you haven't see the season yet and are avoiding spoilers, don't look for the explanation under the cut!)

For starters, the Magician is said to be the conduit that converts energy into matter. He represents worldly experience and knowledge ; he has seen it all, experience it all, and acts at the gateway between spiritual and material realms- just like would be a God trapped in the roots of Yggdrasil, all seeing, all creating. He is the root of the whole tarot- having access to the symbols of each suits : Wands, Swords, Cups, Pentacles. The Magician has unlimited potential, is manifestation at its best : who else to embody that, than the God of Stories, the most powerful being in the universe? Timely was right- truly a magician.

But that's not all. Let's start with the meaning of the card, upright.

As the master manifestor, the Magician brings you -you, person living in any timelines ever- the ressources and energy you need to make your own choice. He's giving you a chance. Like him, you might be facing changes, new ideas that challenge who you were: it's now time to act on them. The skills (maybe time magic ?) and knowledges (perhaps your brand new sciency PhD) you have gathered along your life path have led you where you are now. You must have a clear vision of the goal you are trying to achieve. It is not enough to be motivated by ego, money, status or fame, by a throne. When you are clear about your "what", your "why"... your "who"... you will be able to take actions. You are powerful, you are a creative being: you can reach, now, your highest potential. Focus on the ONE thing that will truly motivate you. Be active. Be a tree.

Reversed, the card can indicate that are still uncertain. You know that you have to take action, but are uncertain of the course it must take. You are afraid of what you might loose, what path you need to choose; be patient, be attentive- the solution will manifest itself in time, when you'll be ready to accept it. If you are already acting on your goal, the Magician Reversed can be a sign that you are struggling to see progress and success (perhaps because of some annoying Avengers who refuse to accept your perfectly reasonnable demands ; perhaps you can't make yourself kill that one person to save the rest.) Maybe you are not clear on your desired outcome; maybe your effort are misdirected, unfocused. You may be lacking conviction. Perhaps the goal you're going after is not the one you actually need, or even want. Are you sure you want that throne ? Are you aware of the price coming with any glorious purpose ?

At its worst, the Magician Reversed signifies manipulation and trickery. You may be masterful at manifesting, but you are lost, and you may only do it for personal gain and at the expense of others. Does it feels off? Maybe. It might means you were made to work for the highest good, before you find yourself lost. Remember your "why", remember your "who". You have many skills, talents, capabilities, but your real potential is not being maximized. You have to ask yourself- what needs to change for you to reach your full potential? What do you crave the most? You can't lie to yourself: you have to be honest, as painful as it might be. You have to be ready to do what it takes to reach your most important goal.

If, in the end, it matters most to see your friends having a shot at life, at happiness, than it matters to not be alone- then, you know what you have to do.

With that, I conclude my explanation. Only one more card, and I'll be done with the Major Arcana!

(Just like Marvel is done with Loki a h)

I hope you liked it. You, yes, you who is still reading! Thank you for that.

22 . . . alfons main story — mad love

— cw: not much i think! a lot of silliness again.

—— Flashback ——

Alfons: ...Then... how about we make a bet... the two of us?

Kate: ...? A bet...?

Alfons: If I die, then I win. I bid you adieu, and have a lovely rest of your life.

A: But, if I happen to survive this ordeal... then you win.

A: And, just as you so wish, I will love you back to the fullest——

A: And tear your life to bits and pieces.

—— End flashback ——

——Such was the bet we had made when death threatened to take him away to the abyss.

Kate: ...I won that bet.

Tears still pricked the edges of my eyes as I flashed him a smile, to which Alfons gently placed the palm of his hand atop my head——

Alfons: Now then, what is this about me ‘making a bet?’

[1] Pinch his hand.

[2] Step on his foot.

[3] Poke his wound. (+4 / +4)

Kate: .........

I didn’t say a word back, only poking at his bandaged wound, and the mask of a smile Alfons had plastered started to crumble.

Alfons: Ow, ow — I swear in the name of anyone above, it really hurts.

Staring at my pouting face, Alfons let out a giggle.

Alfons: I was only speaking in jest then. I do indeed remember our bet, very much so.

A: Oh, and also how positively adorable you looked while crying and clinging to me.

Kate: Okay, now that, you are more than free to forget...

I tightened my arms around him even more, and as though saying, ‘I surrender,’ he patted my back in response.

Then Alfons took my chin in his hand——and with so little distance between us that we could clearly see each other reflected in the other’s eyes, our gazes intertwined.

Alfons: All that said, though, I must say it is a tad beyond me what ‘loving you back to the fullest’ truly entails...

A: So enlighten me on that, will you, Kate?

Hearing the subtle heat contained in his voice, my heart skipped a beat.

Kate: ...O-of course I will.

K: For starters... how about you stop teasing and playing those who worry over you?

Alfons: Ahha! You’re ever so serious, I see.

When Alfons burst out into laughter——

Elbert: Al...?

(Lord Elbert...!)

Lord Elbert showed up at the dining room, his eyes filled with surprise as he stood where he was, seemingly petrified.

Kate: Lord Elbert, look! Alfons is fine now! He’s alive.

K: We won the bet.

Elbert: ...So we have, I see. ...I’m glad.

Seeing a broad smile blossom on Lord Elbert like a flower, I, too, felt so happy that I relaxed.

Alfons: ...Do my eyes deceive me, or have you two become awfully close at some point?

The two of us exchanged a look and smile, causing Alfons to tilt his head in bewilderment.

Kate: Yes, we sure have, while you were knocking on death’s door.

Elbert: Indeed.

Alfons: ...Well, I’ll be.

A: Well, you two are just so naïvely honest, so I suppose now that you say it, I can see it happening.

Elbert: I do feel there is something more in common we share though...

Alfons: ...And what might that be?

Lord Elbert gave me a short look, before a smile laced with mischief that I felt I had not seen on him ever before played on his lips.

Elbert: ...It’s a secret.

Alfons: Come again?

I had an inkling on what Lord Elbert probably wanted to say then.

(I think it may be how we both hold Alfons dear in our hearts.)

Kate: ...Hehe.

Alfons: Is this what they call ‘a secret only the two of you know’? And right before the man to whom you’ve pledged your love, to boot. Goodness, your cruelty breaks my poor heart, Kate.

Roger: ——And by the way.

All of a sudden Roger pulled Alfons away, grabbing him by the scruff of his neck.

It seemed he had finished at some point, seeing that the plate that had several pieces of toast was now clean.

Roger: Al, I don’t recall ever having said it was alright to get out of bed? What’s with that?

Alfons: Is that so? And I cannot say I hold any recollection of me needing your permission to do so?

I was sure Alfons knew that Roger was the one who had saved him,

but Alfons, seeming to feign ignorance, tilted his head in an unnatural motion.

Roger: Well, I was the one who did the operation on you. And last I checked, patients aren’t allowed to wander out of bed without the doctor saying it’s okay.

Roger’s tone was light in response, as though he was long used to such an attitude toward him.

Alfons: Well, I see no reason to do as you say, seeing as you have operated on me without my informed consent.

Roger: Nope, I’m not having any of that. You will be doing what I say.

R: Because as things stand, I wouldn’t be surprised if your heart stopped beating from an irregular pulse incurred by internal bleeding.

R: You even took out the IV on your own, didn’t you?

Kate: What!?

(He’s in such a critical condition and yet here he was, hiding and walking behind me!?)

Kate: Bed, now.

Alfons: Oh dear, how your words hurt me so, Kate. Just whose side are you on!?

Kate: Without a doubt, Roger’s!

Alfons took his own life too lightly, and Roger had saved him. The choice here was quite obvious.

When I gave a clear-cut answer, Alfons feigned shock, his gestures exaggerated and theatrical,

as he took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and dabbed the corner of his eyes.

Alfons: No way... there goes my wholehearted faith...

Kate: ...I know this is all an act, but even so, I would take those words from anyone but you...

Alfons: ...Are you not lonely, Kate?

A: See, to think we had only just decided to love each other to the fullest, only for us to be separated right after...

Kate: O-of course I am... how could I not?

K: But, your life is the most invaluable thing, Alfons. So that’s why I’m holding back.

Alfons: ...!

Alfons looked on at me, blinking at me.

(W-wait, huh... was he still joking? I ended up responding back to that in earnest though.)

(Was he still teasing me...?)

Feeling more awkward, my gaze started to waver as I looked at him, but then his lips curved up into a smile.

Alfons: Hehe... well then, I will see to it that I spoil you rotten to make up for the time you have to hold back.

(Oh...)

Although the words he spoke were naughty, that smile was filled with affection——

Roger: I hate to cut in like this, but I’ll have to stop you guys here.

While I was at a loss of words, Roger once again grabbed the scruff of Alfons’ neck and dragged him out.

Alfons: Well then, Kate, let us talk once again sooon!

Roger: Yeah, and if you get out of bed — in your words — once again, I’m gonna be tying you down.

Alfons waved to me while being dragged away, and his words repeated in my mind over and over.

(When he says he’s going to ‘spoil me rotten’——I wonder, w-what would that happen to entail?)

Once again, my head was filled to the brim with Alfons.

And then, several days passed before Alfons was permitted to get out.

But before any ‘spoiling’ could happen——Crown had a mission to do.

As for the purification club members who had their eyes on Alfons,

allegedly, after they were interrogated by Crown for information, they passed judgment on them.

——After all, there was not a single sin Crown would forgive.

When the purification club had not heard back from the people who were after him, they went into hiding.

And according to Victor... Lord Goa had asked the Privy Council for further instructions, but it seemed he was left in the dust.

Victor / William: I suppose all that is to say, they have no more use for such pawns. [1]

Alfons: There’s not a shadow of doubt in my mind that the pride of that political figure must be sorely hurt, yes?

Alfons made a dramatic show of lamentation.

But the moment he sighed in pity, those lips curled up into an amused smile.

Alfons: ——Ah, I’ve just come up with a lovely idea.

A: What say you guys that we do the honor of putting a balm on poor Lord Goa’s wounds and fear?

—— Time skip ——

Kate: It’s finally time...

Alfons: Ahha! You’re so positively stiff as a stick as always, dare I say.

The plan that Alfons had come up with was quite simple——

Crown would pose as the Privy Council and invite Lord Goa to the castle, where they would condemn him.

Seeing that he had been completely left in the dust by the Privy Council, we were sure he would not want to let this chance at having been invited slip away,

so no matter how cautious of a parliamentary member he was, he would have no choice but to accept when summoned by the Privy Council.

Just as Alfons had predicted, Lord Goa accepted our invitation, and it was decided he would arrive at the castle tonight.

(And other things are proceeding as planned too.)

—— Flashback ——

William: There is one problem we need to address though. It is possible that the Privy Council may interfere, wanting to cause harm to us, or the police comes——

Harrison: And that’s why I gave some false information to the Privy Council, just to be safe.

H: So now they believe that Crown’s going to pass judgment to and confront the members of the purification club in a different place.

William: ——So he says.

(Wait, why did the Privy Council take Harrison’s word, just like that?)

I was curious about that——but William didn’t press any further, seeming to be in the know of the circumstances.

Alfons: I’m sure any- and everyone has a secret or two they loathe to share.

A: And Harrison is hardly an exception... yes?

Kate: ...Somehow, those words seem much stronger when you’re the one saying them.

Alfons: Ahha! I will take your words all to heart.

—— End flashback ——

And so, to account for the false information Harrison had given to the Privy Council, the members split into two teams,

where Harrison, Liam, Roger, and Jude would go to the other place.

And then William, Lord Elbert, Alfons, Ellis, and Victor made up the other team,

confronting Lord Goa directly.

(For this plan, using Alfons’ ability is imperative.)

He would use his ability on him, making them believe that those awaiting in the castle were ‘members of the Privy Council.’

(...In other words, only Alfons will be able to confront Lord Goa as is.)

Kate: ...You wouldn’t go off and do something strange again, would you?

Alfons: Well, the meaning of ‘something strange’ is positively beyond me.

A: Or do you perhaps intend to drown in excitement and do naughty things with me?

Kate: You know that’s not what I meant...

K: I meant to not provoke them and try to get yourself killed.

When I said this, he shot me an exasperated look.

Alfons: ...If that’s the case, then dare I say, I find the fact you are here more worrying, would you not say?

Kate: And why is that?

Alfons: Why, because your naïve honesty and single-mindedness may once again get me shot with a gun covering for you, you know.

(...That... I can’t argue back.)

The regret I felt then had been carved in my heart so deeply, I reckoned it wouldn’t disappear in this lifetime.

(But, I won’t let something like that happen again.)

Kate: It’ll be alright. Because I won’t let you do something like that again.

K: I’ll be protecting myself.

I lifted the hem of my skirt slightly.

Alfons: ——Well, would you look at that.

When I pointed at the pistol in the leg holster,

Alfons let out a whistle, seemingly poking some fun.

Alfons: You look positively sexy in that. Care to spend a night with me?

Kate: S-stop playing around.

I lowered my skirt hem again, hiding the pistol from sight.

Alfons: That said, are you familiar with the ways of a gun?

Kate: The head of the post office I worked at taught the basics of how to use it, saying ‘in this time and age, there’s no harm in women learning how to use a gun for defense.’

Alfons: Ahha! Goodness, I cannot help but wonder if he truly works for the post office?

Considering all of the shock I’ve been through by accompanying Crown, I had ended up forgetting,

but when I thought about it, perhaps this sort of story would be an amusing tale to Alfons.

Kate: Well, he had always liked venturing into new things. ...All that said, I can’t say I had actually used a gun before.

K: So that’s why, while waiting for you to regain consciousness, I had William teach me a little, as a change of pace.

Alfons: To think you’d take a fancy to such a morbid change of pace though. Oh, you poor little robin, you’ve been positively tainted by Crown, I see.

Kate: Haha, aren’t you just a pot calling the kettle black now?

(Whenever I talk with Alfons, it’s like my anxiety just goes off somewhere.)

Thinking back on it, it had always been like this.

(No matter how much caution I exercised, Alfons would always sneak up behind me and blow into my ear and whatnot...)

(Indeed, ever since we had first met, he would always wipe away all of my uncertainties and anxiety.)

When our eyes met, I managed to give a natural smile, despite the fact we were about to confront Lord Goa.

Kate: Anyway, what I was trying to say was... I won’t have you covering for me anymore, so you don’t need to worry.

My hand touched the gun from over my skirt.

(I still don’t want to forget you.)

I made my wish on this gun.

Alfons: To think that the you who had so clumsily clung to me with tears in your eyes when I had covered for you is now nowhere to be seen...

A: ...Whatever could be more unfortunate, indeed.

Above us, the shadows of the clouds slowly drifted.

On this night of judgment——light and shadow took their turns, illuminating Alfons’ pleasant smile.

to be continued…

Diary: Keep a diary (in the form of a journal or book) where Frodo writes about his adventures and friendships. This can be done by having your sim write in a journal or create books using the Writing skill.

Photos: Take photos of key moments and places visited. Display these photos in the home to create a visual record of Frodo’s journey.

Additional Challenges

Quest for the One Ring:

Find the One Ring: Choose a specific item in the game to represent the One Ring. This could be a unique collectible or a family heirloom. Once found, it must be kept safe and displayed prominently in the home. An idea could be using the crystal creations stuff pack to make your own ring.

Deadpool and Wolverine Review

If third time's the charm, Deadpool is the whole goddamn bracelet. I kinda grew up alongside the Deadpool movies. I saw the first one at overnight camp at 16, then saw the second in theaters at 18. Now, at 23, I feel like I've grown as a person, which means I can actually articulate how I feel about these films (though specifically, the newest one). I guess that whole 'wisdom comes with age' thing was right after all.

For starters, Ryan Reynolds absolutely kills it. I know the phrase 'born to play this character' is thrown around a lot, but it really fits here with him. Reynolds once again is a delight as Deadpool, with all his usual snark, pizazz, and heartfelt moments. He's always on point, either with a quick jab at another character, comical reactions, or his character's usual fourth-wall breaks.

He isn't always all happy-go lucky, though. The film, like the previous 2, has a story beyond gratuitous violence, one that centers on Wade Wilson's sense of inadequacy in comparison to other famous heroes. We see how his life has changed since the previous film (go watch that before this, it will not make sense otherwise), both for better and for worse, and watch him continue to grow as a person in a satisfying way. That, I believe, is what separates these movies from other ultra-violent movies of its type: that there is an emotionally-driven story, and it remains important beyond getting characters from setpiece to setpiece.

Though, that's not to say that this is some deep philosophical mediation on the character. Fear not, there's still as much, if not more, violent fight scenes and action here like the previous movies. After all, what would a Deadpool movie be without a few dozen (read: thousand) bad guys to kill, in creative and gorey ways? This film ups the ante, by giving more interesting fight scenes that revolve around different set ups (tower defense, 1v1 in a car, etc) to keep everything visually fresh.

There's never a dull moment in this film. Heart-to-hearts are full of little sneaky one-liners that take a minute to register. Tension between the two leads is thick enough to see, let alone cut with a knife. And all the while, the film keeps bringing in new reveals, fully using the 20th Century Fox backlog of C-listers to call back to this franchise's history, and keep them from fully being forgotten. Add that, with an army of multiverse Deadpools, and you've got yourself a film that even non-comic book nerds like me gush over.

Above all this, beyond the not-quite-irritating-like-most use of the multiverse, or the hundreds of liters of CGI blood shed, this movie did something so profound, I'm still reeling. It made me love Wolverine.

Growing up, Logan always felt like a gross old man type of character. The kind who pressures you to drink at a young age, and owns at least 20 guns that he refuses to part with. Any portrayal of his animal-ness always felt like lip service. But here... its like I've met him for the first time, and now I'm obsessed.

Hugh Jackman has practically been playing this character since I was born, but only here do I really feel like we get to meet Wolverine in full. No longer is he that hunched-over, stoic gruff weirdo that X-Men have around, now he's a deeply emotional character with valid reasoning behind it, and strong motivations. We are finally in an era where tough guy characters are being done justice and allowed to have emotions, and it is glorious.

X-Men Apocalypse gave us a taste of what he could do, but putting Wolverine in an R-Rated movie was the best decision anyone could have ever made. His animal fury is on full display here, and with a higher age rating, ever stab and slice is shown in bloody, glorious detail. Pairing him with another character who can take hits and survive, like Deadpool, was a match made in heaven.

The two are perfect foils, playing off each other in such a satisfying way that had me disappointed when it was all over. Deadpool has worked with bigger, tougher guys in the past, but Wolverine's short temper and guardedness go well with Deadpool's silly, jokester persona. Platonically, romantically, sexually, I don't care. They're meant for each other.

Above all, Deadpool and Wolverine is a loving send off to the studio that made the X-Men film franchise. Its a culmination of all the passion and hard work that went into those movies, and stands as a testament to how far we've come since the first X-Men hit theaters over 2 decades ago. With a film like this as a sample of what's in the future, we won't have anything to fear.

the loves of my life, members, angels, hidden's cryptids alike, first off, let me just start by saying THANK YOU so much for the activity and love and excitement that was felt throughout this event!! we are truly grateful for that and all of the creativity and effort we seen without fail on the dash!! we have no doubt we’ll be seeing the same energy for the next one, and the one after that, and the dozen more that we wish may follow. but with that being said, all good things must eventually come to an end, and all of our friends have found themselves awoken by their alarm clocks and the sounds of city traffic outside their windows. with our characters returning to modern day, we do have to say that another event has concluded here at hiddenwashington. please, from this point on, DO NOT POST ANY NEW CONVERSATIONS regarding the event ( new starters, or replies to OPEN event starters )!! that being said, YOU MAY CONTINUE TO WRAP UP YOUR EVENT CONVERSATIONS, put a nice ending to them, find a good stopping point, or transition them to work outside the event!! from here on out though, the dash will be going back to its normal interactions. to make that transition easier, each mun will be allowed ONE FREE STARTER, just like the start of the event, for the next 24 hours only! after that, our rules go back into place as usual! remember that is ONE OPEN STARTER PER MUN! NOT PER CHARACTER!! but again, we just want to thank you all for the support of this event, and we look forward to seeing how all of your characters reunite and return to normal life. we can’t wait to see how it all plays out in your writing and how your muses handle that shift!! please give this a like once you’ve read it entirely, thank you!! have fun and happy rping!! ♥ - the admin team

Why?- Stray Kids

Ok ok yes I know this song came out last month but I do wanna give my thoughts on this. I’m also gonna try a new method of rating things so let’s get started!

Concept: 9.9/10 why? Well for starters I’m a sucker for dark colors, chains and graffiti. It matched everything the song was going for. HOWEVER, this is the concept I thought they were gonna give us for Rockstar. So I guess I’m a little disappointed that we got this after the fact.

Lyrics: 10/10 The lyrics give “back off and let me do what I do”. To that I say, ✨slay✨. I really enjoyed the message of the song.

Beat: 10/10 I love the sound of the guitars, the base drop, adlibs, all of it. I got the grit I’ve been looking for and I’m so glad they did it.

Visuals: 0/10 I know I know not every song needs a video but I’m so sorry, I NEEDED a mv for this song. I would’ve loved to see the creativity and the concept of the song to come to life in a mv. I guess I’ll add this to the list of songs that should’ve had an mv and didn’t get one.

Overall: 10/10 If I had to choose between this song and Loose My Breath… I’m sticking with this one. Again this is because I’m not into simp behavior. That mushy gushy love isn’t on my radar and too much pop- like beats make me a lil uncomfortable. As I was saying in the beginning, I wish this would’ve been in the Rockstar album (yes I know it’s in Japanese but just like they translated Super Bowl to Japanese, they can do Why? in Korean). I guess you can say I felt robbed 🤣🤣.

I took a total of all that I was scoring and it came out to a 7.9/10 but Imma go ahead and give it an 8. Now IF and when I get a visual to this song, I’ll edit my score and give them a full 10/10… but until then….

If you have a specific Stray Kids song, or even a song by your fav artist you want me to do a review on, please don’t be afraid to leave a comment!

I want to defend the Arthron, AKA the Mask of Sonar for a bit. I largely agree with @beesgav’s post about a lot of Kanohi powers being. Erm. Specific. But I think the Arthron has a lot of potential that we haven’t considered.

For starters, it relies on sonar imaging; So imagine Jaller using the Arthron to see 360 degrees! Not only that, but sonar imaging could be used to scan ahead of his normal range of sight, especially in the darkness of the ocean floor. So Jaller could act as both a scout and sentry for the group, detecting enemies ahead and behind, and even mapping out locations! So Jaller can constantly know all the nooks and crannies, all of the corridors and caves to exploit; Make the Arthron constantly active so Jaller always knows what’s going on around and even beneath him.

Since it’s a mask power, let’s enhance the Arthron beyond normal physics, which Kanohi often do; It can even make sonar imaging through solid surfaces! So let’s reimagine Jaller’s fight with Mantax, who attempts to hide in the sand and even employ a decoy, just as he did with Hahli earlier… Except Jaller sees right through this, he immediately spots Mantax within the sand and can tell the fake one is just some bones leading to nothing. Likewise, Jaller can map out a cave network, a building, that sort of thing. If he wants, he can concentrate the Arthron’s power in a specific direction to expand its range and accuracy. It can even sense weak points within a structure.

In other words, the Arthron is like a mask of X-Ray vision. It relies on echolocation, which bats use, so it’s also a mask of night vision as well! And like I said, since we’re boosting its power, that means the Arthron’s sonar imagining can work on land. Even if it doesn’t, it’s introduced in the arc where everyone is underwater, the environment where sonar imaging is effective (and I presume this was what inspired the decision for Jaller’s Mahri mask to begin with). So it doesn’t matter too much.

Makes me wish Greg used the Arthron more; I think there a lot of creative applications to many Kanohi that could’ve been considered (I feel most of this can be attributed to me having watched Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure). But the fact that I can’t recall at all an instance where Jaller actually used it besides the first time, when he attempted to use his Calix, indicates that Greg couldn’t think of an interesting moment for the Arthron.

And with the lack of uses in story, I can’t blame anyone, myself included for a while, for coming away with the same takeaway that the Arthron was useless; In hindsight I find it simply unexplored, and I wonder who even came up with the Arthron’s power? Did they have a better understanding of sonar’s uses and that’s why they chose it, or was it Greg?

Honestly, the main problem with my suggestions for the Arthron is that it makes the Mask of X-Ray and Night vision a bit redundant… But again that’s what some later Kanohi did. Personally I’d have just mashed together the Akaku and Ruru’s powers together, in addition to long-range vision. Though the Ruru can at least be used to illuminate areas, making it a tad Nuva in extending sight to others; Plus it can be used to blind enemies, so maybe we could upgrade it to having flash bang properties.
