New RP wishlist

-More threads that include both the siblings together. I REALLY enjoy writing the siblings interacting with each other.

-Kamui interacting with kids??? Bonus if someone he's close with helps him care for the kid too?

-More Kagura interactions. She doesn't get requested as much as Kamui and I'm begging for more little sister threads. Especially for people who ship with Kamui. She's one of the most important people in his life.

-Kamui or Kagura losing control of their Yato blood. Need more threads like this since it really shows the dangers of being around a Yato sometimes. 🥺

-Kamui taking care of an injured cat with someone, I beg of you.

-In general just more interactions where Kamui is vulnerable. Where he's more open with his emotions. Where he's upset. Crying. I want to make him suffer (affectionate)

-Someone teaching Kagura how to cook, all she knows how to make is egg over rice 😭 Kamui stole all the culinary knowledge.

-Ohhh Kamui brushing someone's hair.

-Meeting the siblings' dad, Umibozu. Kamui in particular will be difficult during this. 🙄

-More threads where Kamui takes care of someone that's sick. Angst since he gets anxious when a person he cares for gets sick. 😳

-Ahem, visiting Kouka's grave with one or both of the siblings.

-Also someone taking care of/patching up either of the siblings after they've gotten injured from a fight.

-Still want someone to team up with Kagura to bully Kamui :^)

Aventurine sharply telling someone to leave as he is experiencing a quickly rising panic attack, that someone not leaving and instead pulling him into a much needed hug.

also, i was reading this time travel jatp fic yesterday and now i want time travel plots in which several members of the super squad and then anti squad all go back to the tvd era or the originals era and interact with those characters - it'd be so funny because they're the same yet different and i can just see them go like: "wait, you're my what?" or "wait, what do you mean xyz happened to you?!" - while they all work together to get them home again.

Me waiting for Gordon to actually get close with people he interacts with and start expressing his toxic traits rooted in protecting himself and pulling away when they try to help him or get worried.

And for someone to actually find out about Temper. And for someone to stick with and along the way for Gordon to piece together that Temper didn't love or care about him.

Someone to tough love Gordon into getting better.

And of course. Someone finding out what Temper actually did, not just the watered down 'we argued alot, I didn't give him enough attention, I was disloyal and wasn't accounting for his feelings, I didn't take care of myself and it wasn't fair to him. I was hard to love even without being a rodent.' etc etc.

And then his issues with his mother... That's a whole 'nother box of rot sitting in his head.

speaking of which: who's gonna give me the fast and the furious muses? ud doesn't drive but she can fight. and i'm forever convinced that the furious family are like mutants or inhumans of some kind because they survive shit no one else does. they'd fit into the supernatural sci fi marvel dc stuff just fine imho. let ud be a part of the toretto family or let one of their adversaries snatch her up.

THREAD SPRINGBOARDS !

Basically, ideas that can help in "winging it" for rp.

— Your muse entering a ghost / haunted house for whatever reason. KB has eyes in all of them.

— If your muse openly associates with Luigi, Mario, or E. Gadd, KB will try to pick a fight.

— If your muse IS Luigi or Mario, KB's hater energy will come out full force.

— If your muse has attacked a Boo at any point, they're probably on KB's shitlist already.

— KB literally shadowing your muse via entering their shadow.

— KB learning of some kind of dark desire your muse has, and trying to influence them into action.

— KB trespassing in your muse's home for funsies.

— If your muse has power, KB will poke at them to both gain knowledge and annoy them. If they share the same goals as him (aka sending the Mario Bros to their doom), then he'll try to form some kind of alliance.

— Your muse directly seeking an audience with him for a power boon. Despite his hatred for the Mario Bros, KB is mostly just a neutral ghost with some sadistic traits, high volatility, and a love of chaos. If your muse's proposal interests him enough, he might humor them.

Again, these are just some ideas! I'd be happy to plot anything out if wanted!

૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა  / HEAD IN THE CLOUDS II PLOTS PT 1 ; plots based off songs on 88rising's head in the clouds ii

these nights / muse a & b have a deep connection, nothing like either of them have before. they only want each other, only have yearning for each other. they are both known to move too fast in past relationships but their connection is driving them to move faster than they want to, feel like they have no other choice but to go all in. no matter how much either of them want to slow things down, try to slow things down, it's like their connection is what controls them and it's a struggle of trying to keep away for long enough to not let their connection consume them. strange land / muse a is lost, can't seem to find themselves after a breakup. muse b was their home, their centre. nothing feels right or comfortable anymore and it's hard watching life go past while they can't seem to settle. muse a keeps going back to muse b time after time, despite muse b trying to move on, because muse a feels like they can only be themselves with the other. it's hard to see anything other than their relationship. muse b wants to pull away but sees how much muse a is struggling without a constant, which is them. it's hard for either of them to navigate their break up and find themselves back together way too much. need is your love / muse a and muse b had a one night stand. muse a keeps running back to muse b for 'just one more night' but has become addicted to the connection they have with the other. a constant cycle of another night to break contact and come running back in a couple of weeks because muse a can't find anyone like muse b and they don't want to admit they have feelings. tequila sunrise / muse a knows that they are no good for muse b, that the relationship is toxic but they're so in love with the other person that they cannot walk away. they try to go nights without arguing but it all ends up coming back to the same point. they say that each time will be different, that they will be the best version of themselves, but it's a toxic cycle. muse b loves muse a but there's only so much toxicity that they can take.

// This is a permanent starter call! If you are a multi-muse blog please reply with who you'd like a starter for! This also serves as a meme-friendly post, so if you like this I'll look for a meme to send in!

See tags below for quick links on my blog, but my DM's and discord are both open! I am a shy thing so sometimes I will be really nervous but I warm up quickly!

who's going to give me manifest characters but, like, tvd-i-fied? like, flight 828 still vanishes and returns but instead of them being stuck where they are canonically, they're stuck on the other side for five and a half years and all come back with callings / powers.

PLOT IDEAS I'M ALWAYS UP FOR

1. boss & secretary secret affair 2. married man hooking up with a younger girl and their relationship develops into something more, but he refuses to get a divorce because of his reputation. 3. brother's best friend fooling around with the younger sister. 4. angry make-up sex. 5. modern romeo & juliet. rivaling families with big and successful businesses set in ny or london, forbidden love affair. 6. parents adjusting to having a new born. making time for each other, having sex after the baby arrived, a seductive nanny perhaps?

i am once again thinking of (all the) worlds bleeding into each other and udyati having to bear the burden of slowly losing the ability to distinguish them from one another, much to her horror.

Adding to my rp wishlist and/or verses later: AU where Stolas is a Sinner & works in the sex industry with/like Angel. And yes, they are best friends. How did you know?

Fanlore Info Dump | Sentinels & Guides

So thanks to the babe @leschanceux and feral encouragement from folx in the Dev Tea Room, I'm going to info dump about my very specific interest: the Sentinels & Guides Trope!

What Even Is the Sentinel/Guide Trope?

The origin of this trope is from a TV Show in the 90s (literally called The Sentinel) where one main character has latent hyper-enhanced senses triggered by being stranded in an extreme situation, revealing that he is a Sentinel. Through the show's narrative, we learn that Sentinels are an evolutionary role in mankind that has existed throughout all historical societies, manifesting in people who are biologically granted abilities to serve as "Protectors" of a community. This means Sentinels have (at least 3, sometimes all 5) exceptionally enhanced senses, which they can dial up or down as the situation calls for it.

But the thing about Sentinels is that their enhanced sense are a double edged blade. Yes, they're powerful and tend to have the advantage in a fight or encounter, but those senses can also present a significant weakness due to what's called 'Zoning' Or 'Zoning Out.' This is when the Sentinel becomes too hyperfocused on one single sense to the detriment of everything else, and is unable to pull themselves back. Zoning can also happen if they have a sense dialed up (like their hearing in order to track something far away) and an unexpected input overwhelms that sense (such as a loud explosion into a heightened sense of hearing). When a Sentinel zones, they are both incredibly physically vulnerable because they're immobile and unresponsive, and they're at risk of never being able to find their way back from their hyperfocus (which would ultimately lead to their death). This is where Guides come in.

Guides themselves do not have any canon enhanced abilities in the original content. In fact, they're technically fanon as a result of one episode in the TV show. But their presence is widely accepted as adopted canon in the Sentinel/Guide trope, and pretty much everyone writes them as the unique "other half" of a Sentinel -- if not uniformly empowered. Guides are the biological companion to Sentinels, possessing the ability to connect with a Sentinel on an astral or spiritual level. The original show used the concept of a "Sp!rit World" and "Sp!rit Animals" alot when relating the Guide character to the Sentinel character, a detail I don't personally adhere to nor promote because of its typical appropriative 90's TV shaman stereotyping. But the trope itself has moved beyond those origins to instead keep the basic concept of a metaphysical "soul-bond" connection between a Sentinel and a Guide. This means that the Guide has the ability to empower and protect the Sentinel's senses from harm. A bonded Sentinel/Guide pair are meant to be inseparable, and are often considered incredibly powerful because the Guide unlocks the potential of the Sentinel.

(Sidenote: As you can tell from my note above, the show had some good stuff, but overall it was kind of poorly done? Low budget, etc etc. The vast majority of the audience keeping the fandom alive were early era slash fans who saw the two main male characters and immediately built up fanlore around them. When the show was cancelled in 1999, many of those fans kept the concepts introduced in it alive by injecting this trope -- with improvements -- into other fandoms. We salute you, Fandom Elders! )

Tell Me More About the Connection Between a Sentinel & a Guide

The Sentinel/Guide bond can be written in a wide variety of ways, often tailored to suit whatever fandom the Trope is being applied to. But there are some universalities. Such as:

Guides can convene with the Sentinel at a metaphysical/transcendental level (sometimes interpreted as a telepathic connection), guiding the Sentinel to focus on or repress one sense over another and fine tuning their abilities in the process.

Sentinels with Guides have notably more powerful senses and better control over them. They are often consider the most powerful iteration of a Sentinel.

Guides can reel back a Sentinel's senses, even shield a sense from sensory input in order to avoid being overwhelmed.

Guides can also pull a zoning Sentinel out of their zone by giving them a lifeline to follow back to the physical world (note, a Guide does not need to be bonded to a Sentinel to accomplish this)

There are more elements of the Sentinel/Guide Pairing that are considered flexible to the trope, often applied in writing and art but not labeled as requirements. Such concepts include:

Sentinels and Guides are generally believed to have been biologically destined for one another. A Guide's scent will be pleasing to a Sentinel, for example. The sound of their voice is naturally calming and grounding.

Some Sentinels and Guides have full-on telepathic bonds, sometimes they just have a merging of souls and a sense for one another. Almost always, and Guide can sense what a Sentinel is feelings unless the Sentinel closes himself off from his Guide.

In some scenarios, Sentinels can let Guides perceive the world through their own heightened senses, so a Guide can experience those same abilities.

Sentinels can be territorial of their Guides, and sometimes just territorial in general. They occasionally get written with overlap in the A/B/O lore, where Sentinels are Alphas and Guides are Omegas. This means that two Sentinels tend to be written as kind of aggressive towards one another.

Sometimes a Sentinel/Guide Bonding includes the "bond bite' (yet another thing that tends to overlap with the A/B/O Dynamics in the writing). These are bites on the neck that seal the bond between Sentinel and Guide and can trigger the psychic/telepathic connection between the pair.

Guides are sometimes treated like coveted prizes in fictional societies. Sometimes the premise will be that there are more Sentinels born than there are Guides, and so Guides becomes highly sought after and sometimes aren't given much autonomy or rights (this has some similarities with the social dynamics of Witches and Familiars in our other verse)

Guides aren't always depicted as the weaker of the pair, but there is sort of an implication there. The concept is that while Guides are not weak, they are an Sentinel's weak spot. A villain to seek to control a Sentinel by taking the Guide hostage, for example.

Again, none of the above details are necessary to depict the Sentinel/Guide trope. They're just additional features I have observed in the concept as it has evolved over the past 20-odd years.

Let's Talk Power Sets

Sentinel Ability Specifics

Hyper-acute Senses of Smell, Hearing, Sight, Taste, and Feel: This means they can sense things completely indiscernible to regular humans, sometimes miles away in different locations or behind seemingly impenetrable barriers. Examples: They can hear the heartbeats of goons in a underground compound they plan to infiltrate; They can smell the diesel of an incoming military vehicle that hasn't even crossed a border control checkpoint; they can feel the heat of a fire that started hundred of hectacres downwind; They can see a termite crawl on the wooden window sill of a cabin on the opposite side of Lake Michigan.

Detect Physiological Responses: This ties in to a Sentinel's acute awareness to detail, in that they can focus their senses on an individual to determine whether they are lying or having a response to something. Examples: they can focus on the sound of a person's heartbeat to catch heartrate spikes as a sign of lying; They can smell the flopsweat on a person who is suddenly nervous; They will see any tics that betray a person's true intentions.

Accompanying enhanced strength/speed/reflexes: This isn't present in all depictions of Sentinels, but does occasionally come up as another way to make Sentinels seem more like superhuman protectors. In addition to their enhanced senses, they also react more quickly, which gives them the appearance of being faster and more agile. Or by shutting down senses that transfer pain, they can push their bodies beyond normal human limits.

Guide Ability Specifics

Grounding a Sentinel: A Guide's attributes are all meant to be a natural focal point for Sentinels, so Guides use their voice and touch to draw a Sentinel's attention onto them, or will have them focus on their smell or their heartbeat to settle and orient their own senses.

Dialing up/down a Sentinel's Senses: The 'Dials' concept is often used in this trope for visualizing how each set of senses can be scaled up or down with the assistance of a Guide. Guides will often instruct Sentinels to think of each sense as having an accompanying dial that goes from 0 to 10. If they dial a sense down to Zero, it can actually disable that sense for a Sentinel entirely, which is dangerous but sometimes necessary to protect a Sentinel from zoning. Equally, a Guide will rarely have a Sentinel dial any sense up to 10 without first considering the risks of overexposure and zoning out.

Empathic Sensitivity: some Guides are also written as empaths that can sense the feelings of those around them, not just their Sentinel. When this is the case, the empathic connection between Guide and Sentinel is often exponentially stronger than anything they can pick up from regular people around them. This often leads to the telepathic bond with the Sentinel as well.

Tap into a Sentinel's Active Senses: Some Guides can perceive things through the eyes/ears/nose of their Sentinel, an experience passed through the telepathic/psychic bond so that Sentinel and Guide can share information seamlessly. Again, your mileage may vary on this element of the trope.

Ok I'm going to end this lengthy post here, but this is my way of documenting beloved fanlore that has managed to survive nearly thirty years as a community driven idea. It's a creative concept spanning media platforms (from analog to online), fan-driven social circles for diverse storylines and topics, and the everchanging nature of time and memory on our collective consciousness. I hope this trope, like others before it, finds a way to live forever.
