[aldernic]

we've decided that we are going to do an aldernic coining event for november ^^ probably best to post the prompts and everything a tad early so folks can get prepared and decide if they want to give it a try, right?

so! each day of november will have two prompts. you can coin something based on one prompt, both, or even disregard them entirely! you also don't have to coin every day (and you can combine the prompts of different days or do them out of order). you can also coin as many or as few labels as you'd like for any given day! feel free to post early or late, too

the only real rule is that anything coined for the event has to be related to alderns in some way (this can mean aldernic labels, but it can also mean genders, allions, omninouns, etc. etc.)

please tag all event coining posts with 'aldernic' so we can easily find them! feel free to tag us as well. for an event specific tag, you can use 'novemberalderns' :D

the prompt list is below! we'll pause the queue while the event's going on and resume it afterwards. everything coined for the event will be reblogged right away instead of being added to the queue!

day 1 - interest/blorbo

day 2 - music/poetry

day 3 - space/ocean

day 4 - underground/sky

day 5 - spooky/cute

day 6 - human/nonhuman

day 7 - queer/sunny

day 8 - disability/moonlight

day 9 - masc/fem

day 10 - neu/androgynous

day 11 - xenine/null

day 12 - feruvel/kenochoric

day 13 - eyes/heart

day 14 - personal/inspired by someone else

day 15 - ink/quill

day 16 - soft/comfortable

day 17 - food/drink

day 18 - camera trap/night vision

day 19 - light/dark

day 20 - weather/wind

day 21 - texture/aesthetic

day 22 - mechanical/digital

day 23 - cryptid/sharp

day 25 - antlers/bones

day 26 - metal/elements

day 27 - forest/fen

day 28 - poison/venom

day 29 - warm/cold

day 30 - animal/plant/fungi

tag list here- no pressure to reblog or interact at all, of course!

(we'll be coining terms, too, though they'll be on our main instead of being posted directly here)

[allieswithbenefits]

you can tell me your disability headcanons if you'd like! i like hearing about them :]

yay! okay

so i've told you about in stars and time i think well guess what i have disability headcanons for those guys :D

there's the main crew (sif, bonnie, odile, mira, and isa) and i have thoughts about all of them mostly mobility / disability aid thoughts rather than specific disabilities bc i drew them a while back

there's also loop and i feel weird (/neu) about them for system reasons but i might have thoughts about them too by the time i'm done with this!

sif: sif is canonically disabled already (he wears an eye patch) which is super cool and awesome! because sif = me and me = wheelchair user, sif is also a wheelchair user yep. they are very small so they def have a custom chair that fits him which he was able to get easily because i said so. sif has ptsd (canon). also sif is a system

bonnie: bonnie is autistic and nonverbal and they use a magical aac device which is the same as a normal one except it's isat so it's magical. they also wear the construction worker soundproof ear protector things

odile: odile is blind maybe low vision she uses a white cane and she is my bestie (odile <333)

mira: mira has a forearm crutch not sure if she uses it all the time but maybe. she is not above whacking people with it >:)

isa: isa has a prosthetic arm and he def doesn't wear it all the time. he worries that at some point sif will want a hug and he will give them a hug but it won't be as good without the prosthetic arm but sif does not think this. they communicate about it because they love each other. platonically. the arm is metal btw and his earrings are exactly the same color

loop: loop is also a system. this has nothing to do with sif being a system (lie lie lie). i've seen a loop schizophrenic headcanon i think and i vibe with that too <- is schizophrenic

Zerachiel - CATCH A WAVE

Zerachiel stood on the beach. Like all the beaches on this part of Helios, it was smooth as glass, and moved off far into the distance. Zerachiel's clawed feet dug into the soft, wet earth. It reminded them of their childhood. Of better times. They had had been the first out of the transport submarine, the first to step onto the beach. It was only proper for a leader to do so. Their bodyguards, all 12 in their charcoal and white Celestials, stood behind them - their 'Mechs grey-and-white gradients disrupted only by a jagged pattern of red lines placed at random on their left torsos, and a gold stripe down their right torsos.

Zerachiel's sensors picked up songbirds from the forest. It was calm here. It was peaceful. The SLDF had not reached here. They were still in the interior, from what could be gathered. Still in the Coen region. Either something was bogging them down, or they were being very thorough to wipe out everyone there. Zerachiel privately hoped in was the former, though they lamented that either choice meant more death. The negotiators they had sent to Coen City had never reported back - but then, no one had heard anything other than rumor and hearsay from the Coen region, even since before the full invasion had begun.

Some kind of advance infiltration. Removed our communications abilities, and their WarShips had removed all imaging-equipped satellites from orbit within the next week. Very smart of them.

Maybe it was the "Spirit" Zerachiel had been shown that had done some of it. Not all of it. No one could be in so many places at once. At least, maybe two more operatives, if they were good. And they certainly seemed to be. A good operative with an alluring fascination with the occult... and the glowing eyes were... Zerachiel shook their head, their sensors fuzzing slightly as they did so.

I should like to meet this Spirit, if we both survive this, Zerachiel decided. If.

Off the distance, the seaside town of Neu-Sainte-Mère-Église was just waking up. For them, it was almost like any other morning.

And here we are, about to trample all over it...

"Precentor?" came the radio voice of Greta Emery-Durant. Commander of the Opacus Venatori - once a terrifying "troubleshooter" unit. Now a bodyguard, fiercely loyal. The demon's head logo emblazoned on their machines had once been a source of fear, even here on Helios, in the early days of the Hiding. It had changed. Like many of us have changed.

"Precentor?" the metal hand of Greta's Preta settled on Zerachiel's arm. Zerachiel didn't flinch. It was normal; they could get lost in thought, their friend pulled them out. It happened, and Zerachiel was thankful.

Zerachiel's thoughts briefly turned to their family. What would mother and mother and father think? What would Emile think? He may not even realize anything is going on, cooped up on that moonbase with his AI project.

"I'm alright, Greta," they said, the comforting rumble of their built-in speakers transmitting their thought-voice as an ultrasonic whisper, that only Greta's proximity let her hear. "Just... thinking."

Zerachiel turned, leaned forward. The chest of the Archangel touched softly the smaller chest of the Preta.

"I'm okay."

"So," they said, pulling back, but only slightly. "What's the updates?"

"Well..." Greta said, reluctantly. "You know Project JERICHO?"

"I do..."

"They've been deployed."

"What? They weren't ready yet, they weren't supposed to - wait. When were they deployed?"

"Uh, just after we got underway. They were moving on Coen City."

"Coen. Where I sent the peace detail."

"Y- yes, Precentor."

"So that's how it is, then. Bold move. Very open. Trying to erase evidence."

"So it seems."

"And what is their status?"

"Uh. Four of the five drones are down."

"Four? That quickly?"

"Well, three were destroyed via mass orbital support fire. One by a concentrated artillery barrage after it had already taken significant damage by what appeared to be either captured Word 'Mechs, or turncoats."

"Heh, serves him right," Zerachiel muttered to themselves. "Turns out when you abuse your subordinates, they don't exactly want to fight, huh?"

"Yes, Precentor."

Zerachiel sighed, their metal chest moving, approximating the human movement as best it could.

"Well, we'll have time to figure things out. It's a long march."

They turned, and looked, the mountains in the far distance just the first they would have cross to reach the Coen region.

"A long march, indeed."

> Personality: wrath is perpetually angry, for many different reasons, but that doesn’t make it cruel or harsh, there is still softness to it and its identity. Beneath all that anger is a deep sense of righteousness and compassion. It wants to help the body and the system by directing that anger to healthier channels than fighting people or crying. 

> Ways they do their role: Livius helps by holding onto the things that make you angry, he finds a good coping mechanism, discovering better or creative ways to use that anger, usually in a constructive or creative way, this can be by creating art about it, going to protests, calling people to complain and right wrongs, etc. He knows that yelling about things doesn’t help, it knows that fighting with people doesn’t help either. It sets healthy boundaries, expresses songs feelings and makes sure that lyr and the body is comfortable.

> Possible outerworld behavior: Will take the brunt force of fronting during scary or stressful times, if someone is scaring or stressing the body out he will be there to protect. Likes punk music and the punk movement, it’s the best representation of how it feels.
