Yesterday I couldn't sleep so I spend all night thinking about headcannons for Brunever but then I forgot:[ But now I remembered! So.. some of my hcs about them!

I like to think that Brunim has tiny wings but if he had bigger ones like real life bats, I imagine him covering Forever with it while Brunim is feeding cuz he doesn't like anyone seeing Forever exposed that way

Brunim usually bites and take off his fangs from Forever's neck very carefully so he doesn't hurt him but he always bites him in the same place to make the mark last longer( ofc it hurts a lot but Forever enjoys it even if he complains a lot about it). And if they are separated for a long time, a scar sure will appear.

Forever sometimes scratches Brunim's back/neck while he is feeding so both of them have little scars reminding one of each other:D

After Forever arrived in the Quesadilla Island, the bite marks and the LOVE shirt are the only things that he still has of his old lover.

Brunim got the habit of scratching his neck scars after Forever disappeared because he is afraid of it fading.

They both are equally obcessed with each other but Brunim is way more possessive and jealous then Forever.

Because of Skydoido2(and Brunim sometimes talking about the qsmp in his streams), I imagine them having some kind of magical bond that permit them to sense/feel each other even in a long distance but it was weakened by the Federation.

Even with that, Brunim still can see some things (even if Forever can't) and that's how he found out about Forever going after Philza and being Bbh and Max's crush.

After a while, some weird magic happened (or something like that idk I'm not trying to make sense here lol) and they somehow encountered each other in their dreams while being in a weird floating island(Skydoido2)

Brunim and Forever are the kind of couple that finds some reason to fight . They have some "breaks" in their relationship and spends all the time trying to make the other one jealous or just straight up ignoring each other until they can't handle being separated and get together again.

When Forever somehow ended in the boat with the other brazillians they were in the middle of one of these fights and that's why he was so quick to go after Phil when he saw him.

Even with that, they are still engaged and Forever has been planing their wedding in his head for months now and that's how he helped Cellbit with his marriage.

Brunim hates to feed with someone else's blood and when they aren't together he just refuses to do so. Since Forever is in Quesadilla for a couple of months now, Brunim was starving and had to force himself to find another source of food.

The vampire preference for Forever's blood goes beyond their relationship, with him finding it more tasty because Forever is half elf. (Can go in the same way with the hc of Forever being a werewolf/wolf hybrid In my opinion)

Forever got used to the taste of blood because of Brunim always kissing him after sucking his blood.

Forever always used to complain about Brunim biting him without warning and living with bite marks all over his body but now he misses it.

And that's it for now.

If you have some headcannons too I would love to hear because we don't have enought content about them>:D

I love that Zak Brown respects the history of the team (McLaren Marlboro) so much he decided to bring big tobacco back (Velo sponsorship). A true respector of history UwU

//I didn't send this but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. //

Lance rose a brow at the stranger, their argument was ...interesting to say the least. But it would take more convincing then sex, he'd require a goal, and a mission before hopping on a both or train.

"If the pay is good and there's plenty to fight, why not?" His tail would flicker- in his head he sounded so cool.

✚ Quest!: Give my muse an objective to complete

Seravin looked at the visitor. "Uh. Hey, wanna join our crew? We just fuck lots. There's a tiny little robot that does all the actual work. We just have so much sex."

Healing

Most religions have a form of healing magic - it may be called "faith healing" and "miracle".

Some healing magic is subtle, strengthening he body's own immune defences so it can fight off infections, cancer cells and hormonal imbalances. In such cases, this might not be considered magic by others.

Dramatic, sudden healings attract a lot of attention and will run into many ethical dilemmas:

What if the magician is kept in captivity to keep the king young, forever?

What if the magician is forced to heal armies that are doing terrible things?

What if the magician only heals those in power/ who can afford to pay them?

In modern society, it is possible for the line between healing magic and life science to be blurred. Magic might simply amplify existing medicines, or provide luck to surgens who are performing a particularly tricky operation.

Protection

Many people seek magical protection, and hire magicians to provide it.

A farmer might seek to protect his crops

A mother might seek to protect her offspring

A courtesan seeks protection from her lover's wives

A soldier who seek protection from attacks.

Methods through which it may be achieved:

Using an amulet, necklace, or other tools that must be carried

A mark or tattoo for protection

A circle or physical barrier surrounding the client

A blessing that wears off with time

A protection spell that can be memorized and used only once.

Talismans and Amulets

Talisman and amulets give magical enegy to the people who wear them. They are two different objects, so it's best not to get them mixed up if your story has both. The follow categorization is fluid:

An amulet gives general help, while a talisman serves one specific purpose.

An amulet keeps harm away, while a talisman empowers the wearer.

An amulet is motly secular, while a talisman typically contains divine/angelic/spiritual energy

An amulet usually works for whoever that wears it, while a talisman is custom made for one user.

An amulet deflects negative energies, while a talisman attracts positive ones.

They are generally small objects that can be worn or carried. They have symbols on them which charges them with magical power.

In ancient societies, amulets and talismans were big business, with magician earning large sums by making and recharging them.

Guarding Against Harmful Magic

Using magic to harm or kill others is generally frowned upon. However, the magician may accept the job of hexing or cursing someone, given that they are paid well.

Hexes and curses

A hex is worked in cold blood, unemotionally. A curse involves intense emotions.

A hex lasts for a given period, then wear off. A curse may last a lifetime or even generations.

A hex is usually secular, while a curse often has a religious element (placed by or on behalf of a deity)

A hex is usually Low Magic while a curse may be High Magic

A hex is always worked by a magician while a cuse can sometimes be worked by a non-magician

A hex can affet an object or a person, a curse almost always affects a person.

Hexes tend to cause great nuisance, while curses bring long-term devastating harm.

Protection against magical attacks

The afflicted person may seek to undo the hex or spell, often at a high cost (even life)

Rituals may either aim to deflect other magical attacks, get rid of the attack, or send the spell back to the sender.

Sometimes, placing a curse or hex has a consequence to the caster, and this will deter a magician from doing it in the first place.

The client may pay to lessen the impact of a curse or seek drugs to ease their pain under it.

[sonic-the-hedgehog-2006]

The ending of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) is vague and nebulous. Readings of the exact events vary as much is symbolically shown to occur without any dialogue.

That said, I believe the final events of the game's story indicate that Solaris specifically chose to send Sonic and Elise back in time to extinguish itself.

The final story opens on an uncharacteristic note for the Sonic franchise, showing a depiction of Mephiles finding the final Chaos Emerald against a pitch black background. He seems to regard the object in silence.

In the next sequence, an uncharacteristic event for Mephiles occurs. Despite the great lengths and immense efforts he went through to assure Silver—a hopeful hero of the future—would be the one to kill Sonic and send Elise into tearful mourning (releasing the very flames that would destroy said future) Mephiles elects to simply kill Sonic himself, especially given how Silver grew privy to his manipulation and returned to the future.

Worth noting is how Shadow Generations later showed Mephiles using this same attack in an attempt to catch Shadow off guard, solidifying the imagery of it being a move he'll use while forgoing all pretense.

It is then shown that the Chaos Emeralds scattered across Soleanna are being teleported back into Mephiles' possession. Mephiles regards this event as "the final curtain call."

As Solaris is formed, a great light consumes Soleanna.

... And yet, the main cast—and exclusively the main cast—is caught in what Eggman describes as a spacial distortion.

The presence of Silver and lack of Blaze is notable:

Based on Silver's dialogue noting a Chaos Emerald disappearing, and his own story ending with him regarding the Emeralds in the future—with Iblis sealed in Blaze and her sent to another dimension—this is explicitly Silver being taken from the restored future and brought into this distortion.

It's clear that Solaris chose to bring his greatest enemies together before him—just not accounting for Elise being able to revive Sonic with a kiss.

Once Sonic is revived, the trio of hedgehogs go super and the final battle commences.

While Eggman is debating if it's even possible to defeat the deity, Sonic, Shadow, and Silver cause enough damage to its physical form for the prominent fiery consciousness to be revealed. As Elise notes it, Eggman proposes that in lieu of defeating Solaris directly they should instead target its consciousness, leaving it thoughtless in the rift of space.

Just as this plan seems to have worked, however...

The exploding Solaris begins rapidly and haphazardly releasing the same bolts that created the spacial distortion, and the camera prominently shows one of these bolts being directed towards the heroes, who become bathed in purple light.

More symbolic imagery is shown: the light that consumed the spacial distortion swirls into a chaotic motly of fiery energy, before reaching a point of stability in the form of a single meager flame.

The game's official guide has a story recap that offers paratext, stating that this sequence represents Solaris returning to a peaceful form:

Despite the beam hitting the whole cast, only Sonic and Elise are shown in the aftermath, floating in a black void. Elise asks if Solaris was defeated, but a light appears which causes Sonic to answer a definitive no, instead saying that that is the "true" Solaris.

After the recognition, the "true Solaris" expands and encompasses the duo.

Then, Sonic and Elise are sent 10 years into the past, before the Flame of Hope.

Good morrow to you Dapper! I was wondering, when worldbuilding, how do you give each sentient species (elves, dwarves, orcs, etc.) a cohesive identity while also acknowledging the fact that real world peoples, cultures, and countries are a lot more fluid than the PHB would leave us to believe?

To be honest, I don't? Motly in that I don't approach worldbuilding in such a way where I need to block off each individual ancestry/species into their own distinct thing. I also don't have a set world that my adventures take place in, and tend to create settings and assign them details on an at-need basis.

I tend to work from a "culture as story element" perspective, creating a tablau of different peoples based on what the drama needs at any particular moment, and then adding on details as needed.

Say my party is on the borderlands of a big wilderness region where one or more "settled" societies are butting up against eachother and the nomadic peoples who call the wilderness home. Each group gets a name and enough detail to give the players an idea who they're dealing with, and it's only after that where I start at all thinking about demographics.

Likewise I could say forinstance that "the Kal'Ghrine nomads are primarily of orcish decent" but if I express to my players that the defining features of the Kal'Ghrine are being tough as nails survivalists, canny traders, and highly protective of their sacred sites, then that image of what the Kal'Ghrine people are like is going to stick in my players heads, supplimenting their idea of what to expect from an orc. As a bonus it means I can throw in human, woodelf, even hafling or gnoll members of the Kal'Ghrine for texture and my players won't bat an eye

I like thinking about it in terms of the MTG colour pie, multiple groups/philosophies can band togeter for a common cause, and individuals within those groups can express different aspects of that larger union.

As for change over time time, that's an interesting wrinkle. I tend to presume that longer lived species (elves, dwarves, gnomes) tend to have an undertanding of power structures that overlay current kingdom level politics and treat the affairs of their shorter lived kind as children squabbling. If the elves of the ladenbough forest stopped trading with their human neighbors every time they had a succession crisis, rebelion, border dispute, or unification war they'd never get anything done.

I wanna see your head canons on what their fins would look like! (I can imagine everytime they feel happy and warm their tail glows)

Authors note: These are my personal headcannons for the mermaid AU. I might change them in latter stories but I feel pretty comfy with where they are right now. They where all just sorta ideas I have floating around but I hope you like them! Also I actually had the idea of their eyes glowing when they get happy but decided not to add it, so your not that far off with the tail ♡

Shoji has eight silver colored tentacles with a dark blue under belly. His suction cups are a slightly lighter blue and his beak is the same color as the top. I can imagine him being a bit self conscious about it and usually keeping it covered up by the tentacles, kinda like his mask in the anime.

Koda has motly white tail with red details. His tail actually resembles a seahorse but much bigger to support all of his weight above water

Sato's tail is a a soft brown color with black and white stripes. I imagine his tail with a sorta puffy feel to, not supper puffy though, kinda like puffy stickers. It resembles a sort of clownfish look with brown instead of orange.

Ida has a dark blue tail with one of his bottom fins being made out of metal parts, think like toothless from HTTYD. I imagine he would have made it either himself or with Momo's help.

Sero has a long black tail with white puffy streak all around it. The streaks look a lot like tape, to match his original universes quirk.

Shoto has a half red half white tail that colors switch places with his hair. I imagine that he might have a few darker spots on his tail from his past.

Momo has a red tail with beutifull yellow fins at the bottom. It's a pretty basic mermaid tail but it has a little of a rough texture than the original sleek mermaid scales.

Bakugo has a ash blonde tail with large swirls of orange and black. His tail kinda resembles a catfish in all ways except color.

Kirishima has a red tail with specks of black that resembles a shark. I would imagine that Kirishima would sorta be the protection of the pack so his tail would have scars and possibly a healed bite mark out of one of the fins.

Ojiro has a thick skin colored tail with a small tuff of fins at the end. It kinda looks like his tail from the original universe but is more smooth.

Aoyama has a shiny white and yellow tail that has a sort of sequins look to it. He has the ability to change the colors to fit in with the environment but he says that these colors make him ✨️sparkle✨️ more.

Denki had a bright electric yellow tail with little black marking that happen to look like lightning bolts. His tail takes resemblance to a electric eel.

Izuku's tail is a beutifull emerald green with freckles of red and white. The fins are a bit longer than the average mer-man, it is a pretty yellow and looks slightly tattered and torn (Probably from how reckless he is).

Mina, as stated before, has a glimmering pink and yellow tail. Her tail is very strong and has some visible muscles, but not a ton.

Tokoyami had a dark black tail with a white under belly, like a orca.

Uraraka has a pretty white tail with large splotches of pink and brown, it kinda looks like boba.

Jiro had a shorter but strong looking purple tail with flowy fins that resemble earphone jacks hanging from her side.

Hagakure has a long almost clear tail that resembled that of a jelly fish.

Tsu has a beutifull green tail with black swirly stripes all along it. It resembles that of a tadpole. Her type of mermaid is supposed to grow legs but hers somehow stayed like a tadpoles.

So basically, I have no one to talk to about this so I'm turning to tumblr lol. Feel free not to read this because it's more of a rant than anything else.

So basically basically (pls excuse my grammar lol) a while ago I gave in and read 'Adagio' by 'DearOurMoony' and it absolutely broke my heart so I would just like to talk about how sad it made me feel cause I'm still sad about it. I'm never going to be the same ever again. But now Im trying to type my sadness into words I can't. i just feel sad like you know that sadness where your heart is heavy and your brain is kinda like foggy and every song you listen to reminds you of the sadness? Yeah that's how I feel, just randomly in the middle of class I'll feel this heavy sadness LMAO except it's not that funny cause I have no one to talk to about it so. yeah, sad.

I cant go a day without thinking about this. And also the amount of like, scenarios I've tried to make up in my head where … anyways (this is me after realising i accidentally spoiled the whole thing LMAO IM SORRY i changed it, no more spoilers :p)

Also this song reminds me of Adagio Evan, like Adagio in general but motly Evan

[revirag]

I just finished watching the DnD: Honor among thieves movie, it was fun and a good amount of silly and i highly recommend watching it! That said, slight spoilers ahead.

Where are my Edgin/Xenk shippers? Is there a fun shipname I haven't seen yet? Xengin? Edgenk? Honestly all the variations I can think of suck, I am looking for options!

A recent escaped inmate bard whose only choice of attack is swinging his (very sturdily made) lant around and a some flavour of neurodivergent paladin who seems, moves and speaks like a fairy tale knight? A trying-to-be responsible dad, his daughter and their motly found-family versus a long-lived loner who does not appreciate irony? Come on, you throw in the fact that being with Xenk constantly reminds Edgin that he has caused the murder of his own wife while you surround Xenk with a ragtag group of assholes, who unlike most people in his life don't see him as a paladin but as a (how dare he be so good at everything, that asshole) person.

There is some peak chance for whump with both of them, especially with Xenk who is 100+ years old, does not seem to have a truly permanent base of operations and has seen his family die and come back as monsters when he was a child and has spent fighting and killing his people since then.

I want to see a Xenk who rather then just appearing, helping and disappearing again starts to form a life around these people, who gets to have and adapt to a quasi-daughter (and a quasi-sister, Holga and Edgin are raising a kid together, they are basically chosen siblings at this point and you can fight me on this). While Edgin is drinking in the corner of a pub cause how is this his taste? He is ashamed of himself.

[darth-razmus]

Now let's have a bit more fun for the lit rpg story of my motly crew of space dudes. Should a Xenos be a member of our band of adventurers and if so what?
