HI I WAS MENTIONED
i haven't even posted anything about my hcs to the PATIENCE and BRAVERY siblings yet but holy shit you guessed lucas' character spot on ahahahahaha (sweats profusely) (honestly kind of scared)
i will take the opportunity to add some takes on SOULs and magic here if you don't mind
FOLLOWING BELOW: further insight on SOULs and magic, the 6 fallen humans and how their qualities are presented in UNDERTALE's narrative, imagining Wingdings and the laser siblings
For me, it makes more sense for the presentation of white color on a monsters soul have much more to do with their natural MAGIC ABILITY (besides love, hope and compassion). When they use different attack dynamics, they can reach for these values within themselves and exercise the manifestation of it with intent, like when you shine a light on a prism and it breaks down in individual colors.
Humans might not have the innate ability to cast magic spells, as "FLESHLINGS ARE TERRIBLY DEPENDABLE ON THEIR ORGANIC FORMS" (a real quote i was there he really said that), but magic is there, and magic has been learned and used in the past on the casting of the barrier. If DELTARUNE is a valid source to understand these mechanics (high probability), we can see it is possible to increase Kris' magic ability through boosted items – not that the item on its own is magical, but it allows better channeling of a living being's magical potential (if otherwise we'd probably see kris using it, but kris knows no spells so magic boosting items are useless to them so far).
What's with human's coloured souls, then? Well, take the prism. I like to think a soul's colour doesn't necessarily dictate what kind of magic a human would be able to do exclusively, or that they are only that colour — but their most prominent value and by extention, the kind of magic they would be more familiar with as mages. In fact, the way it is possible to shine a different light on another's soul (such as Frisk's) and bring forth these values is evidence of such.
PATIENCE for, well, sit still, will you? As much as the motif sounds like ye olde regular Your Best Friend, it does have its own spice to it! A cheerful energy, like a playful small child who's genuinely happy to see you. I've worked a character around this one; little Prudence's entire run basically consisted of looking pretty and waiting for everyone to take her wherever she needed. When you're small and cute, you've got to know exactly the right time to take an opportunity and make it unscathed. Also, sad monsters sometimes need a little patience.
BRAVERY for facing your issues head on! Get on with it, old man! Lucas is a menace and doesn't shy away from anything, punching through and racing towards his goal. Like a speedrunner. He skips NPC dialogue like a total idiot and gets very lore confused later. Perhaps he would benefit to learn, someday, that giving away some of your time or crying like a baby for help is indeed the bravest thing to do. He is so dorky and I cannot wait to post my designs. Come on, he wears a bandanna with VERY MASCULINE ABS drawn on it (and they're pink). Sad monsters sometimes need a little push forward, a little bravery.
INTEGRITY for remaining true to oneself. A soul that is grounded and very down to earth (not creepy at all), but never gives up on hopes and dreams, always reaching ever higher. Ingrid takes herself and others seriously, and promises mean a great deal to someone with this value. Huh, where have I seen this before?
PERSEVERANCE for clinging on dear life and never letting go, even if all odds are against you. Even if you're slow and out of shape, even if your vision sucks and your glasses are always dirty, even if the cool tortoise grandpa wants nothing to do with you – do your best(pathetically) to persist. Sophie was a klutz, but harbored a curiosity that would creep most people out. She was so insistent on knowing, so keen on her note taking, so terribly questioning that she fell into his creation and shattered- ah, wait, no, that was somebody else. Either way, good luck trying to shake this one off.
You know what else is a perseverance dynamic and I don't see it being pointed out often, if any at all? The KARMA effect. Your stats may suck, but with a neat little trick and a little persistence, you may be able to get what you want. I think of it as the ATK counterpart to the defensive invincibility boost of their items.
KINDNESS for a sweet gesture, especially to those who have hurt you. It takes incredible inner strength to remain kind and forgive, and it may feel self-sacrificing, but one must give kindness to receive kindness. Of course, this doesn't mean taking shit from anyone, but you see that even bitterness can be delicious – and that is how you like to cook your conflicts. Cooking, kindness ... huh, where have I seen this before?
I haven't worked out much around the adventures of the kid I called Andre yet, but he makes some mean breakfast. So good it rivals the spider bake sale!
JUSTICE for a fair game and a thirst for making things right. Bullet hell? Well, they've got bullets too, and they are great for directly countering attacks. You know what they say, the best defense is a great offense. Clover (i think we all just agreed that's their name as a fandom) is confident and has their rights and wrongs very neatly laid out, as well as astoundingly accurate intuition. But you know what's actually interesting about all of this?
That Alphys was the one to cast that light, even though she's not particularly much of a connoisseur of magic arts.
It might just be an uhhh whatever toby moment, but I feel like this adds another interesting layer to Alphys' character and justice's seemingly small role on the UNDERTALE narrative. But we'll talk about her somewhere else.
Anyway, back to the sibling's adventures with the dingus in scene.
I'd like to think if he is involved, the lab is where they are finally reunited and proceed as a duo. I mean, it's not like patience is in a hurry, or that the guy is too enthusiastic about handing over a little kid to the guy who swore war on humanity. Or having a little kid carry the weight of murdering a big sad softie. And now, somehow, there's TWO of them (what a nightmare).
There's the whole lead-up of ooohhh 👻 beware the man who speaks in hands 👻 he's a huge creep and brilliant and everything but he never comes out and he's super weird and spooky good luck talking to him 👻👻👻 and then they enter the dark lab and there's just. this really pathetic blob of sadness with a weird accent and his collection of contrastingly goofy gadgets and gizmos.
At first he's happy. Then he's worried. Then he's afraid, very afraid. Are you SERIOUS? Weren't you some kind of GENIUS?? The siblings together do a great job at pulling him out of that terrible place and aiding him on process loss, with a gentle push and a little bit of patience. They learn a lot with him; about monsters, about magic, about their own strength and how to sync their skills. He makes it a mission to stall them the best he can, until he can maybe talk to Asgore about it, achieve an agreement. Oh, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT! With these ridiculous, pointless gimmicks already! What are you so scared of??
Well, the jig is up. It is both admirable and a little intimidating, how despite their entire journey, despite everything they know now, these kids still wish to try their chances with the King of the monsters. Whether they make it back or not isn't as important as being together. It puts his mind at ease, and for a moment, he thinks he knows the King well enough so that he could hope he would indeed drop the trident and be filled with hope once more, just as they managed to do with him. A hypothesis quickly proved wrong. It takes much more than a little patience and a gentle push to overcome the sheer horror that was the mere idea of ever making it out of these caverns.
The Bravery SOUL. so normal about it Shotout to n4rval's Gaster who got me thinking about the two humans‼️ Stares
(Patience not included as it's just plain good ol 'Your Best Friend' throughout) Why does the theme sound so NERDY. All the other SOULs, even Kindness, sound serious. And it would be logical for Perseverance to sounds like that, but nope: it's Bravery's theme.
When I listen to Kindness' theme, it associates with defending oneself, Perseverance with calculating your next moves, while Justice focuses on the opponent's.
Integrity is hard, its creepiness strays me from my line of thought, but most fitting would be 'attacking'. The dustiness of the tutu doesn't play a role in my choice and it's likely that neither of the humans killed anyone, as it would instill at least some fear into monsters and, y'know', be mentioned at least somewhere. But self-defense is still an option, though! Doesn't have to go as far as murder. Nerdy, and many people have pointed out the presence of Gaster's leitmotif in there.
(The video it's taken from)
And, well, these. Just some silly things. Personally I think Gaster could've dealt with two humans after Chara, namely Patience and Bravery. The Patience and Bravery weren't used for the reason of being excessive (I feel like 4 SOUL modes is enough) and Toby not having ideas about how such a SOUL mode could be even executed (the OVERTIME one has a special place in hell). But if looking at it from an in-universe perspective, what if Gaster utilized the SOUL power for lasers? I think a monster's SOUL combines every human trait in it, making it white. Like RGB. So they can also use colored attacks, which have a unique effect. The Royal Guard uses blue attacks to hinder the movement of their target, or, more specifically, a human. Same goes for sentries like Sans and Papyrus. Woshua uses them so you could stand still and let it cleanse you. Hard to say why Gyftrot would, but hey! It's a personal choice, so why not? Orange attacks are very scarce and only one monster exclusively uses that type of attack, and not a combo. Tthat monster being Pyrope. When it comes to switching between these two, Mettaton uses both because of the lasers prominent in the CORE and Hotland, while also being a robot, which, I suppose, makes the utilization easier. Asgore, unlike Undyne, isn't adamant on his target being still to the point of rendering it immobile, so he uses blue attacks instead like the rest of the Royal Guard, while also mixing them with orange ones to disorient the human. So Sorry is a weird case. They attack you but are also sorry for that. (Asgore-style) ..They're quite the character. Green attacks are self-explanatory. Also got a silly idea: what if, since a monster's SOUL is all traits mixed together, white attacks damage you since that is also applicable to them? If you make an orange and a blue attack into one, then it turns into an attack that damages you upon contact either way. But strong monsters, like the main cast, can turn your SOUL a different color. Which, too, is connected to the fact that a monster SOUL consists of every trait, so it can be any color. I already talked about Undyne above. Sans rarely even fights, but in the one instance that he does, it's the sins weighing on our SOUL. Papyrus views the whole fighting thing differently, so for him it's about the challenge. The art of fighting. The purple and yellow modes are a bit weird, the latter one especially. But Muffet uses the former one over the green one due to her playfulness. The purpose of the yellow mode is hard pin down, because it doesn't inconvenience you in any way. But a SOUL is a SOUL, so naturally, SOUL magic would affect them as well. The yellow mode could be used to aid monsters and allow them to get more precise hits? My point is, monsters using either of these (colored attacks and SOUL modes) is natural. What Gaster did was to use that power a bit differently, fusing it with technology.
I feel like Bravery stayed with Gaster for a bit longer than Patience, hence the amount of connections. But if we're going off of Flowey's order of the six SOULs, Patience died first. Bravery dies shortly afterwards. Very reminiscent of the Dreemurrs, isn't it? Ouch. Imagine searching for them and finding out that you arrived a bit late to the scene. Gaster, probably: human...... i know your BRAVE.

ok finally went ahead and caught up with the season and here are my thoughts!
hmmm... i like the season's concept but not the execution sadly. it feels bad to have an entire season where the central question is "how do you be more than a weapon" and the answer to that question is "kill yourself to save others" i guess????? rasputin didnt really get the chance to live as more than a weapon and ended his life AS a weapon but its okay and "growth" because he's being a weapon... for people he cares about this time? idk, i'm not one of those people who are like "you don't owe anyone anything" because i think helping other people is a beautiful thing to do and i love destiny's focus on community, but i feel like rasputin's ending was more about denying him community if that makes sense... he never really got the chance to experience humanity and be human unless you count his recouped felwinter memories
i feel like there were so many interesting routes we could have gone with a fully mobile and "human" rasputin that i guess the writers were just not interested in exploring... im not a rasputin loremaster so if there was precedence for rasputin being inseparable from his warsats please lmk but it genuinely felt like it came from nowhere that rasputin HAD to die to shut down the warsats. until now they had been treated as something completely separate from him (they were able to operate remotely even when he was shut down for god's sake, although you can argue gameplay elements don't equal canon)
even when ana says "there has to be another way" rasputin's response seems to indicate that it doesn't even matter because somehow someday someone will eventually get hold of the warsats and use them for harm so he might as well just die now, which again is like.... such an unhealthy and negatively self-sacrificing mindset!!!!! it is genuinely really sad to play through all the seasonal missions at once and do a speedrun of rasputin going from confident to completely depressed and questioning his purpose in life if he can't be a weapon and use force to overpower his enemies, and then to have that arc just NEVER be resolved bc he immediately decides he needs to die for the good of others. it was just a completely unsatisfying arc
there are a billion other ways the writers could have sufficiently nerfed rasputin so to not have to deal with an overpowered war god of a character who can call in an airstrike anywhere at any time and can hack every computer in existence simultaneously (listen, i get it, it would be hard to write around that) and i have to believe the destiny writers aren't stupid so i guess they genuinely just really thought rasputin had to die, probably because they wanted something "big" and "shocking" going into lightfall. and i get the meta reason is that this "chapter" of destiny is wrapping up and we have to get rid of some dangling characters and plot threads but idk i don't think that should stop me from being able to critique HOW they decide to shed characters. have rasputin lose access to his warsats and databases and decide he wants to fuck off to felwinters peak to do some soul searching if you really just dont want to have to deal with writing him into lightfall and final shape!
it just feels like such a waste as a character and i'm not even a huge rasputin fan. what really frustrates me is the wasted potential. you barely actually get to meet the "real" rasputin and he's gone, which is why the whole "emotional death scene" fell very flat for me. the ending cinematic was very gorgeous, no doubt about it, but it wasn't as emotionally moving to me as it was to others and i assume thats because i didn't play d1 so i wasn't waiting seven years for this character to actually show up as anything other than ominous backwards disembodied russian voicelines
but i dont want to be totally negative, there were a lot of small character moments i really liked. the bray sisters stuff was great and i loved mara and osiris' conversation, it was nice to see the game acknowledge that they're friends. oh and i genuinely liked rasputin's poetry! submit this man's work to the poetry foundation! it was also nice to see the mid season operation missions get changed up a little too, they felt fun and unique, and seraph station was sooooo fun! i feel like the gameplay elements of this season were great; i just didn't love the direction they took the story in the end

hi *:•°✧ 🌻🕷️ i know you probably have a lot of ppl requesting a lot of things,, but if u get around to it could u maybe do hc's for if the slashers (esp the penny brothers) met a rokurokubi? a rokurokubi is a spirit in japanese folklore who's neck can grow to be rlly long + bendy like a snake. they usually like to present as feminine, but i think they could have any gender identity. they're ghosts, apparitions, but some of them don't know they are. they're also known for being tricksters and like to appear in front of drunk ppl. they're hard to identify in everyday life bc they look and act just like humans except at night when their necks get to be several feet long and go all loopy lol. below is art of someone's take on a modern rokurokubi from an artist called omniscientbeing i think:
(Hey ! Love the idea. Also, I did my research and saw that some rokurokubis don't remember what they do at night when they come back to their human form ? They think they are only human. They think it's some kind of dream, so I thought it would make things more interesting to make the rokurokubi in this request not remember what happened at night after taking back its human form)
"Well...Hello there."
Arthur would be surprised to say the least, it's not everyday you get to meet a rokurokubi, or any spirit for that matters.
But, since it would be his 5th glass of whiskey of the night, let's say his fascination would win over his careful nature.
He would stand up and try to touch you, in order to make sure that you're real and not another fragment of his imagination summoned by his dizzy mind.
Once he'd be sure you're real, he would smile and introduce himself.
"Well..I'm Arthur. It's very nice to meet you, miss ? Sir ? It ? Sorry..Wrong creature." *awkward chuckle*
He would then either offer you a drink or ask what you are and if there is any reason for your presence ?
"I see..You're some kind of trickster spirit, right ?"
He would then use the sober part of his brain to come up with a prank of some kind to play on the Penny Brothers ?
"Let's see..How about you and I team up ?"
He would then help you in your mischievous plans and have fun all night.
He would be sad to see you leave in the morning, but would understand and still be happy to have spent the night with you.
Arthur *smiles sadly* : "I don't know if you'll remember me tomorrow night..But, I was very honored to meet you, Y/N."
"HI !"
He would first observe you from afar before actually making his presence known.
He would make sure you're not a threat before saying hi and befriending you.
He would then ask you what you're doing here and then focus on the obvious.
"You have a very long neck...NICE ! You look like a snake...I love snakes !"
He would then let his neck grow like yours and scare the other patients/slashers by letting his head wander around and make funny/scary faces with you.
He would find you fun and somehow relatable, as there are not a lot of people capable of doing the things he does.
He would help you scare the staff and help you come up with different pranks.
He would be sad to find you take your human form back in the morning, but would wait impatiently for you the next night.
Penny *giggles* : "Don't say bye, silly. I'll see you tomorrow night. If not ? You can be sure that I'll find you. We're friends now !" *hugs you*
"I don't know what was in that bottle..but it was strong."
He would blame it on the alcool and not actually believe you exist until he would either touch you or remember that he usually doesn't hallucinate spirits when he's drunk..
He would then assess if you're a threat or not before relaxing when he is sure that you aren't and ask for your name and what you are.
"Okay...So, you're some kind of spirit ? Ghost ? Welp. My night couldn't get any weirder. No offense."
He would then ask what you're doing here and smile when he would understand that you're a trickster.
"I've got a long list of people who I really want to give the scare of their life..Are you up for it ?"
He would then start with some of the slashers before moving on to his siblings.
Luther *sleeping deeply until he hears a sound and opens his eyes to find your head floating just above his face* : "AAAAHHHHHHH !"
Five *laughing* : "That was priceless ! You truly are the best spirit.."
He would then wait until it's time for you to take back your human form and remember your face so he may make his research and find you in your human form using various connections.
He would then present himself to your human form and befriend you so he may enjoy both of your forms.
"You..Are..AWESOME !"
He would be excited and ask you if you would want to travel into the staff/slashers' dreams ?
Freddy and you would be an unstoppable team.
Imagine being able to scare people in their sleep ? They wouldn't even know that you are real..
Freddy is constantly drunk, or most of the time. This is why he would probably be the first to see you and would recognize you immediately when he would see you again.
Freddy *smiles when he sees you appear the next night* : "I knew you'd come back, ! It's showtime..So, who do you wanna scare next ?!"
He wouldn't really care about who you are or where you came from, as long as you're fun to hang around.
He would also be okay with you pranking him. 100%.
Freddy *sleeping soundly before being awaken by a noise and waking up to the feeling of something watching him*
He would then burst out laughing as he would see you trying to untangle your neck as you actually tried to prank him by suddenly appearing in front of him, but got stuck before you could.
He would then help you.
Freddy *trying to stop laughing*
You : "It's not funny !"
Freddy *laughs* : "Nah. It's hilarious !"
You *embarrassed* : "I'LL CURSE YOU !"
Freddy *laughs even louder* : "ALREADY AM !"
"Well well well...Who do we have here ?"
Pennywise would be more interested than really surprised because he's already seen a rokurokubi before, as well as many other spirits..
He knows that they're rather peaceful spirits who normally don't cause a lot of trouble..well, besides with their pranks.
He never got the chance to actually talk to one before though ?
Rokurokubis tend to stay away from him, as he reeks evil. Literally.
Normal spirits or peaceful spirits tend to feel him and Penny's dark energy, but he would be surprised to find you actually approaching him.
"You're brave. That's for sure.."
He would appreciate your curiosity and help you prank the others by making the sound effects (using his claws to make screeching noises) and even shape-shift to accompany you in your attempts to scare the slashers.
The slashers are supposed to be actually fearless..He would be excited to prove that theory wrong.
But, he would be sad to find you leave in the morning and would hope you wouldn't forget him the next night, because he actually had fun with you.
Pennywise *awkwardly laughs* : "It was nice while it lasted, right ?" *secretly wishes you'd come back tomorrow night*
Patricia would...pass out.
Sorry.
She already can't hold her liquor, she would be on the verge of passing out when she would see you for the first time.
Patricia is technically an old woman who embodies Kevin's pious, religious, devout, celibate side. Imagine what she would feel when she would see you ?
Patricia *sees you and freezes in shock*
Patricia *after a moment* : "D...DEMON !"
Patricia *passes out*
Once she would get used to you however, she would become curious, but not so much as to actually touch you or acknowledge your existence.
Patricia *eyeing you suspiciously* : "....I don't trust you."
She would also be the ideal prank target. 😈
But, be careful. Because she bites back.
Patricia *smirks when she sees you again before getting out what she was hiding: a water hose, then splashing you* : "How do you like my pranks ?!"
Be aware that she drank a whole bottle of wine in order to see you and do that prank..That's dedication right there.
They would maybe sense your presence ? But they wouldn't necessarily see you.
It would probably be for the best because they would either freak out or become paranoid.
Jason *can't sleep because he feels someone is watching him and becoming more and more paranoid by the second*
Brahms *looking around frantically for you, becoming obsessed and searching for you in every single room of the hospital*

ALL RIGHT BUT YOU ASKED FOR IT
Power of Three as a series is just. full of weaknesses, most of which come down to poor continuity and structure. I'm not gonna try and fix ALL of those, bc that'd be laborious as hell, but I will pick out things that I feel are the most egregious as case studies.
What Po3 does have, tho, is an absolutely shining strength in the concept of its three main characters. After twelve books of Blandly Heroic Protagonist Syndrome, Jayfeather is an absolute godsend. He's angry! He's rude! He's unhappy! He's not nice. I Love Him And He's My Son. Lionblaze has his invincible pride (hah) and emergent bloodlust, and Hollyleaf has her moral absolutism and certainty. These are good starting points for characters. Sadly, the lack of continuity undermines what could have been three really good character arcs.
So! I present to you:
HOW TO MAKE "WARRIORS: THE POWER OF THREE" NOT COMPLETELY SUCK ACCORDING TO MY PERSONAL TASTE; A NON-EXHAUSTIVE, NON-CONSECUTIVE LIST BY ME
ONE
- Have there be a persistant, overarching series threat. Sol is a character with amazing villain potential who does literally nothing except hang around, and do exactly 2 Bad Things completely off-screen. This Is Not Good.
- Instead, have him be present from the second book onwards- initially introduced as a friendly but enigmatic outsider who is slowly revealed across the series to be a complete black hole of a personality, a social parasite quietly rearranging whatever community he's a part of to just-so-happen to benefit him as much as humanly possible. His "preach individualism not starclan" methods are not so much values as one strategy out of many. (to those who know me- yes i have a type. no i will not apologise.)
- Maybe his ultimate goal is to dissolve and centralise the clans or something so that he can live out his life as a political puppetmaster in all the cat-luxury he likes. idk it's hard to imagine overall stakes for this rewrite BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL DOESN'T HAVE ANY
TWO
- For gods sake you don't have a series based on the premise of "the main characters develop super powers" and then only have the second power confirmed by the end of the fourth book. I understand the first book mostly focusing on Jayfeather- his powers are obvious from the start, he's got the strongest personality of the three, he gets access to most of the prophecy plot stuff because of them. But you NEED to have the other two show an interest in something concrete happening to them beyond that, and you need to at least hint towards the other two having something unique to them even if nobody clocks it yet.
- Have Jayfeather tell his siblings about the prophecy by the end of book two at the latest. The amount of time he spends noodling around not sharing it with them is inexcusable. It's not that it's out of character for him to hang onto a secret for a bit, it's just that there's no point and it slows everything down. It would be equally in character for him to go to his siblings and be like "look, i'm SPECIAL. well you as well but ALSO ME". Boy starts off as desperate for recognition, what can I say
THREE
- Have Jayfeather discover that StarClan don't withhold signs or information on purpose for the sake of "building courage and faith" or whatever nonsense. Seeing and communicating the future is metaphysically very difficult, so interpreting signs and messages is a genuine skill, or even an art. The cats of StarClan, however, really are just ghosts, much more similar to living cats than the currently living believe. This is the impotus for Jayfeather's discarding of his reverence for StarClan, which remains consistent throughout the series.
- Have Hollyleaf and Jayfeather both still change their cat careers in the first book, but put place more attention on the fact that they basically switched jobs. Have a scene where they end up yelling at each other, because can't the other see how lucky they have it? The tension breaks when they realise they've both lost something important to them- Jayfeather his chance to prove he's as capable as a sighted cat, and Hollyleaf her path to helping her clan in the way she thinks is best. They commiserate together, and reluctantly promise to do the best they can with their lots, so they don't waste the path the other wishes they'd taken. This closeness is eroded over the series as they disagree more and more on the subject of StarClan and its role in their moral choices and obligations.
FOUR
- Speaking of Hollyleaf! I nearly threw my phone across the room when the first Omen of the Stars book claimed that Hollyleaf "worked so hard to discover her power to help her clan". Where, Ms Erins??? I would have LOVED to have seen that!! Hollyleaf expresses absolutely no concern over the details of what power she has/will develop, and only has a couple of scenes even touching on her ambitions to help her clan. She has some vague ideas about becoming leader and like one scene where she gets to do some leadery things, but that never gets followed up on. What does happen is that the whole "warrior code" thing becomes more and more a part of her personality (for no clear reason) until she snaps.
- Hollyleaf going off the deep end is something I wanted so badly to get into and be moved by, because I could see where it comes from! Her moral certainty is fascinating, especially since it's based in something as abstract as the warrior code- which, when you think about it, isn't really... anything. There's no concrete set of rules that make it up, no traditional wording or cat philosophers, not even any fables. It's a handful of agreed-upon, common sense rules- don't cross boundaries, don't take prey that isn't yours, respect your ancestors, and don't murder. That's it!
- So, combining the above points, I think Hollyleaf not being one of the Three should stay, but both the audience and the characters are given good reason to believe she is. By around the third volume, make it so that Hollyleaf has found that her power is to get cats to "Do The Right Thing"- i.e. what she wants them to do. She sneaks off often to see Sol, who teachs her how to use this power. Her siblings are concerned about this new power, having already gotten a glimpse at what Sol can do, but she's confident that she can only use this power for good. Volume-specific plot happens, Sol manipulates her into causing him to win, she is shocked and horrified, and vows to stick ridgedly to what she knows is right i.e. The Warrior Code
- However, the more fervently she tries to stick to this abstract idea, the less it gives her results, the more her power seems to be failing. Believing that StarClan is taking her power away from her, she becomes caught up in a faith-guilt spiral that puts her in the position to snap at the end of the series. By that point it's clear to her siblings that Hollyleaf has no power- she was just very, very good at persuading people to do what she wanted.
FIVE
- Lionblaze is a girl now because I Said So. This Cat Is Trans And There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
- Her relationship with Heathertail stays the same- childhood sweethearts who are torn apart as they begin to understand the nature of the societal divides that exist between them.
- This can be used to contextualise the whole "half clan/outsider blood" thing as a cultural contradiction. In reality, inter- and outer- clan relationships aren't at all rare. They can't be, otherwise the whole society would be inbred out of existence in like five generations. But if at least one society of humans can spend a good 200 years pretending Sex Is Bad And Sinful Actually then cats can have persistant cat-racism in the face of all logic. Heathertail clocks this contradiction, Lionblaze doesn't.
- Her relationship-to-power arc doesn't need changing all that much either, other than starting much sooner and being more consistent. At first, she's completely overjoyed by her power, since unlike her siblings, it lines up so well with her ambition- become the finest warrior any of the clans have to offer. As the berserker rage aspect becomes more prevelent, she becomes more and more disturbed by the fact that she isn't disturbed by what she can do, and that she doesn't want the escalation of her power to stop.
- Tigerstar still does his thing, but Brambleclaw knows about it. He recognises the signs from when his father used to visit him, and tries to train Lionblaze in his own way. She ends up caught between wanting to be a good warrior, and testing the limits of her power.
SIX
- Jayfeather can stay basically the same because he's my perfect little angy boy and nothing needs to change. His arcs can be strengthened by having a more robust relationship with Yellowfang where they try to out-bitch each other, and coming to terms with his internalised ablism. Maybe he has a chat with Mothwing about faith a couple of times. Him furiously lashing out at being offered help transitions into an acceptence and understanding of his abilities more naturally. He never stops being A Grumpy Old Man.
- All fucking past-lives unexplained time travel goes in the BIN. Doesn't fucking happen. You can have that lore dump sprinkled across the books, or come from going deep into the tunnels and having a surreal meeting. Make it properly eldritch-level scary, shake Jayfeather's confidence in the idea of them being just a bunch of ghosts.
SEVEN
- Have the way Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight present very clearly as parents to the Three be explicitly, textually unusual. One of the things I liked so much about the first series was an almost total lack of emphasis on who was mated with who, and who was related or not. It felt very real to how feral cat colonies form, where raising kittens is a communal job. This gets completely dropped the moment series 2 starts and now the cats have monogamy.
- This emphasis on the family unit and fostering close relationships between parents and kittens is deliberate on the part of both Leafpool and Squirrelflight. Their aim is to cover for Leafpool so she doesn't lose her role as medicine cat- something she already gave up Crowfeather for before she was pregnant.
- In that little bit of backstory, have a robust reason for both Leafpool and Squirrelflight to leave the camp while Leafpool is pregnant and giving birth, possibly one that ties into the present day story in some minor way. I don't know how, it would just make that element of the story a lot more ground than "we left, the kits were born, then we came back and everyone was cool with it"
- When it comes to the "I am Not your mother" reveal, Jayfeather and Lionblaze are confused and hurt that they were lied to, but come to the reasonable conclusion that well, since they were raised mostly by Squirrelflight, saw Leafpool often, and are loved by both, they don't hate her. Lionblaze has something of a crisis over being half-clan, possibly initiating an attempted reunion with Heathertail. Jayfeather is more concerned with how other cats will think it makes him lesser, something he's still sensitive too.
- Hollyleaf, meanwhile, completely fucking snaps at the way her mother Violated Part Of The Code. It's a completely irrational reaction, but expected because she's been growing more and more reliant on The Code for the whole series, and less and less stable in her attempts to aid her clan and train to be its new leader.
- Squirrelflight is the one to murder Ashfur. This is easy to work out while reading- she's literally the only one of the four with a motive who isn't a perspective character. The mystery is less around finding out who did it, and more about why she did it (it's very ambiguous as to whether it was an accident or not). The main tension comes from who finds out when.
- Lionblaze is shocked, awed by how far she'd go to protect the three of them, and reassures her she did the right thing (as a way to salve her own uncertainty over her own longing for violence). Jayfeather makes it all about himself because he's Jayfeather- upset that he didn't know immediately, instead of, you know, figuring it out in a few hours because he can basically read minds. They try their best to hide it from Hollyleaf, who is already rattling around the final volume as a full-on antagonist, but are unsuccessful. This almost costs them something incredibly important- possibly Squirrelflight's life.
EIGHT
- the whole plot with the Tribe Of Rushing Water is a MASSIVE can of worms that could be removed from the series without issue. As it is:
- Characterize the Tribe as uncertain of how to fight other cats, because yes, they haven't had to do this before. DON'T characterise them as pathetic, doing whatever their leader says without thinking, and with ancestors who have Given Up
- Have some of the Tribe be really good at the violence. Worryingly good. Have others be sickened by what they're being asked to do.
- Have some of the clan cats reflect on what they've done. Hollyleaf would be all for introducing this society to jesus The Code, but even she might be horrified at being thanked by a tribe cat who can't wait to get out there and win themselves glory, only to be killed a few hours later
- The Tribe begin a new tradition of marking the walls in the mud they use as camoflage in order to commemorate their battles, and memorialise the fallen. One of the characters reflects on the fact that in a generation or two, the Tribe will feel like it's always been this way. How many of their own traditions- those that feel almost like natural law- started out the same way?
- Have Sol as the leader of the invaders, or maybe having insinuated himself into the tribe as a "mediator" and doing his charismatic cult leader thing.
NINE
- Cinderheart isn't a reincarnation of Cinderpelt. She's just named after her bc Cinderpelt saved her mother from a badger. this is because I think the reincanation thing is stupid and I can't think of a way to make it good.
TEN
- No more using tails as hand gestures like covering people's mouths. Never. None of it. It's expunged from existence.
Disclaimer: I haven't read Omen of the Stars yet, so I can't account for anything that might happen in that series that's grounded in Po3. I'm like... two thirds of the way through the first volume. I'm Not Impressed.

OKAY OKAY OKAY !!!! i have interest!!!!!!
ok so au one: average elf time
elin's in the roulacase house and wakes up with the magic busted ressurection. because she wakes up in finral's body (and finral's unconscious (thank you langris) so elin doesn't really have a problem) so they have a great time tearing the hospital several new windows and dips to tear up tota.
yami goes to get his ride, finds the hospital a MESS and has to go concuss elin hard enough to get finral back. elin gets exorcised rufel style and does not get to meet up with latri which makes them very sad.
au two: au of pain and suffering
(tw for emotional abuse which is still abuse even if it's a product of devil shit. tw for suicidal ideation. be careful)
so elin wakes up in the body of five-to-seven year old finral and due to devil shenanigans was real angry about sharing a body with a human. this all changes when finral apologises to her and explains he doesnt like it either he's just scared and lonely (and, you know, an actual child) so elin takes the role of elin-nee and raises finral on her own (because god forbid lilliane raise her stepson and god forbid leidor steps in). sounds good right?
no.
elin's a bit crazy bc of the evil heart and has fully convinced finral by magic knight age that because his mana belongs to her so does his body and eventually he's gonna have to give that up so she can live. finral does not mind this. in fact, he's looking forward to it, humanity sucks his family sucks he's tired and he hates that he's the byproduct of a murder that took elin from her family and people. he leaves tota and gets recruited by yami after he and elin realize they can't really live on their own out here (finral's a suicidal fifteen year old and elin does have the priority of keep her body Alive after all). elin sees this as a convenient way to keep finral alive and healthy (having other people look after him) and does not consider the power of lesbianism and finral's intense neesan instinct (giving him +1 reason to live).
things progress normally until the witches forest incident where diamond!fana is released from elf!fana through the power of love and describes what happened. finral realizes now he can fucking. do what he's always wanted to do and dip out and allow them to take a body that they both believe is rightfully elin's. finral dips on an adventure to find the eye of the midnight sun with no final words and the next time anyone sees him elin has the body and is obviously working with the eye of the midnight sun.
chaos ensues. asta discovers the powers of Elf Exorcism Sword about three-to-four months into elin's tenure rattling around in finral's body. finral gets yanked back into a body he never wanted and promptly loses his shit. screaming. crying. he tries a runner. the whole deal. because of his "betrayal of the kingdom" he's under house arrest with the bulls and is obviously not having a great time with that.
finral obviously gets therapized out of believing he's just a body and stolen mana because if aus end sadly i get upset and have to blacklist them from my life and there are a lot of concepts i dont want to erase with this one.
ask me about elin manifesting aus if you dare

Pets They Would Have pt. 2
Karasuno
Hisashi Kinoshita
Hisashi is a Train Company Employee. This means he works a lot of hours and just does not have the time to take care of, love and train any other pets
Fish are a really easy to take care of
All you have to do is remember to feed them and have a water filter to constantly clean their aquarium
Some fish, if handled when young, can get big and will let and love for you to pet them
But, they also are just very nice to have
Just to watch them swim around all of the plants with the light on at night
As I said, they don't need alot either
Hisashi could just let them be
They wouldn't beg or need constant love and attention like a mammal (dog, cat, rat, bird)
They also don't need constant vigilance for health issues or specialized diets like amphibian and reptilian pets
Hisashi is going to be tired when he gets home from work, so he needs a pet that is more ornamental than a chore
I feel if Hisashi were to have fish, he'd get the weirdest ones in the pet store
Hisashi seems to have a very strong inner child
So he would want either the flashiest fish, or the ones that cause a double take everytime their passed by in the store
He may get only one or two or get a whole tank full
I honestly feel like it could go one of two ways:
A- He has an aquarium for a wall in his house filled with his wild choice in fish or
B- He has a small, round, spherical bowl with two fish in it
It'd be funny if he had just the two fish to start with then they had babies even though the worker said they were both female
Obviously they weren't
They laid eggs and he had to transfer the female and daughters to one large tank and the father and sons to another so they wouldn't keep having babies
After this he has like 14 fish in total
Then he keeps finding himself at the pet store looking at the "ugly" fish no one wants
He buys these fish and ends up having two tanks that cover a whole wall
One's for his male fish the others for the females
But he screws up and learns the hard way that clownfush can change genders to help make babies
I'm being terrible to this poor guy let me stop
He so would be that fish owner to get real plants and "not those toxic plastic ones, how do they not hurt the fish???"
I honestly love the thought of Kinoshita just spacing out in front of his fish as he just watches them swim and do their own thing
Or if he were to only have a couple fish and he lets them get really big and pets them
Kazuhito Narita
Now, I know what you're thinking
Aren't Ferrets incredibly high maintenance?
Not really
Kazu ends up working at a Realty Firm
Generally their work hours are supposed to be around 40 hrs a week
But they often have to stay longer considering most clients can only meet up on weekday afternoons
So this means Kazu has to work a lot
Ferrets may be mischievous and a little destructive, but that's easy to fix
If a ferret is to be left at home alone for hours at a time, just get it a really big cage and tons of toys to play with
Plenty of food and water too, of course
But ferrets are honestly pretty chill
All they need is for you to clean out their cage around once a week, some light grooming here and there, and some time to run around
Apartment or house doesn't matter with ferrets
They love to just mess around and only need a couple hours of free time a day
They sleep most of the day, 17 to 20 hours usually
They also aren't very vocal
They have a specific noise they make when excited thats barely heard by most human ears
Fun fact about ferrets is they actually have pretty poor eyesight, but their sense of smell and hearing more than make up for it
The only real problems Kazu would have to worry about are hairballs getting lodged and dental issues, no different than a cat
I didn't pick a cat though bc, Kazu seems like the kind of person to have something that doesn't get riled up on a whim like a cat
Cats often have unpredictable moods, ferrets on the other hand can be energetic but won't get into a bad mood at the drop of a pin
They're generally very fun loving
Though, it is always recommended to get a pair
Ferrets are highly social animals, so they would need a buddy for when your not able to be there for them
Kazu would probably get one almost all white ferret and one almost all dark brown ferret for the symbolism
I love the thought of Kazu wrestling with one ferret, it wrapped around his hand, and then the other one if climbing on his back and sliding down the back of his shirt in playful retaliation
Tobio Kageyama
I really really wanted to give Tobio a turtle, but with him being a volleyball player in his adult life, that just won't work
Turtles need very specific temperatures and surroundings so they can live happily and healthily
I honestly feel in terms of personality, nothing but a cute little Eastern Box Turtle would fit him perfectly
I honestly struggled to find something that, to me, fit Kageyama Tobio but also would be manageable for him as a pro athlete
He's a very complex character and something with fur or feather just did not seem to suit him to me
The only problem is.......reptiles and amphibians are generally really demanding pets
From the food they eat, the the temperature their home has to be set at, its a lot of constant care
Some of them may not like constant physical touch, but they still need to be cleaned and have a constant watchful eye to check for any skin abnormalities
I decided on the African Fire Skink after much much MUCH consideration
These lizards don't get large, onky around 14-15 inches
And, unlike many reptilian nd amphibian pets, they don't require any specific heating or lighting
As long as your house isn't like consistently hot or cold or constantly changing between the two, their fine
They do need a substantial amount of dirt to dig and hide in
They mostly eat insects and one very rare occasion would appreciate a pinky mouse
These lizards are also shy and like to be admired from a distance
They don't like to be touched too much
They also have few and far between health problems uike other lizards
The only real problem is you can't find them at local pet stores but, they generally sell for around 25-70 USD
They also live for around 15-20 years
I feel like Tobio would have gotten his lizard as a middle schooler bc he didn't have very many friends, but he also didn't want a really needy pet since he doesn't know how to socialize well
Since this lizard like to be left alone, he could admire it from afar and this lizard could help him learn how to social better
Sorta.....
Imagine Tobio at a table in his room, doing some homework and the little Skink is just lazing about in a sunspot next to him 😍
Shoyo Hinata
YES YOU ARE SEEING CORRECTLY
At first for Shoyo I thought, okay maybe a hamster or a Guinea Pig or something like that
Ya know, something small but mighty and also, incredibly cute!
But I took a look at a list of pets that travel well and one of pets that can be left at howm for days with a proper care taker
I nearly shot myself bc I totally forgot that Hermit Crabs can be pets!!!!!
And they suit Shoyo so well!!!
They are small and sturdy
They fight back and pinch when threatened but can be very nice little pets to have
Hermit Crabs also love, sadly, for only around 10 years and can grow up to 6 inches long
Also, three to five shells per crab should be available
I am living for the idea that Hinata bought a bunch of shells for his crabs and painted them with little volleyballs and crows and ornage and black 🥺
These are good bc as long as you have someone reliable to feed them when they need to be while you're gone
Usually, if they're small, they're tiny wittle claws can't grab onto pellet food, so heir is a specific kind of almost dust like food for Hermit Crabs
Also, dark leafy greens like kale and broccoli or fruits like apples, bananas, and grapes are good too
Just choo them up really really tiny
They also need 2-3 inches of soil, silica play sand, and (optional) coconut fibers for them to burrow in when they molt
They also need a place for water to keep their little shells moist
They also need specific temps and maybe even mist their terrarium with water now and again
Something that us important and why Shoyi would need someone to come in and check on them is bc they are every vulnerable when molting
When a Hermit Crab molts they need to be separated from others so they don't get hurt
Like with many smaller pets you also have to thoroughly wash your hands before and after you touch them
Shoyo would fight Tobio when Tobio said his Crabs are boring and go into a long detailed argument about how each Crab has his/her own personality and how interesting they are
Kei Tsukishima
Did you expect this Dino loving nerd to have anything else other than a reptile?
I tried to find one, as you can imagine, that would fit his adult life schedule but also his personality
I really wanted to give him an Iguana or Chameleon butbthey were really demanding with care
Now.....I know
Anole are native to the Southern US and Southern Hispanic countries such as Mexico, Clolombua, and Venezuela
They are around 20cm long and only live a very short 3-5 years
Also if you own many most should be female and only one should be male if you choose to have any males at all
The males get very territorial and will fight one another
Also the males flair our their dewlaps (skin flap under their chin) in defense and when they feel threatened
The dewlaps are usually pink, red, or on the rare occasion blue
Females have these as well but don't flair them out as much
Anoles are very high energy but don't care to be touched too much
These lizards also can't be picked up by their tales as they have evolved to lose their tales and grow them back
Kei would like these as they are so odd
They're not only descendants of Dinosaurs but they can lose their tales and grow them back at will???
I feel like Kei would constant have new ones
His massive tank (you need big ones for these guys, they are very active and will resort to cannibalism if their space is too small) is never empty, always at least three
He has analbum on his phone of all of the Anoles he's owned and maybe even has a picture book with their names on it
Yamaguchi to this day is the o ky one that has had the privilege to see said book
Yamaguchi is also the only person Kei trusts to take care of his precious Anoles
And when one dies he has really small but none the less grand ceremony for a descendant of the mighty race of Dinosaurs
Yamaguchi always helps him set these up
I fell like he would give them really weird names as well
Like twig, stick, sock, glove, kneecap or some weird shit idk
I'll have Yamaguchi, Yachi, Yui, Natsu, and Saeko in the next one
My requests are open and I hope you enjoyed

' plots please ' + koshi c:
@cloudruns | plots please | accepting!
starting off with chinatsu since i tossed her at koshi recently, let her annoy him pls <3 asdf in all seriousness, tho, i like the idea of them interacting not just bc of their personalities having the potential to be a fun combo, but bc she was once a slayer and a wind breather striving for the position of hashira, too. there may be things she could teach him if you wanted? and as far as her being a demon who actually works with the corps, it's something that's a lil more hush hush bc well, she's a demon travelling with two other demons who pass along info to oyakata-sama -- and she's amane's sister so :' ) we could always do something with that as well!
me pulling from my secret muse list?? yes ofc bc i wanna introduce koshi to lil mizu who's all sweet and part of the corps bc she genuinely didn't feel right about standing by while people were getting hurt. i want her to see his tattoos and go ?? what're those?? bc ma'am grew up in the woods and truly has no idea what they are. and i want her to tell him he shouldn't be ashamed of them bc he got them trying to support his family, and that's something to be admired, not judged. i think i remember you talking about koshi being self conscious of them bc they are crime-related? and i dunno, i just can see them having a sweet, sibling-like relationship over time! plus!! i think it's kind of an interesting contrast between them bc mizu is quite sheltered and a bit naive, whereas koshi has seen how harsh and rough the world can be even without demons trying to kill you
hmm, by extension or bc he's a kakushi, koshi could end up meeting yubari, mizu's adoptive papa! he sadly can't always be where mizu is bc of his duties, but he does try to be nearby whenever she's visiting the butterfly mansion. the catch with yu is that he's a dragon masquerading as a human so he can keep an eye on mizu, so if that's not your cup of tea, understandable! but he's a more laidback and quiet personality who cares A Lot even if he tries to act like he doesn't, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for him to nag koshi about taking care of himself whenever they cross paths. let the both of them worry over their respective family members together as well pls <3
#cloudruns#also forgive me but i only have yu's stats done at the moment adfhj#it's easier to get a feel for him if you read mizu's bio and then his stats tbh#but ofc if none of these would work for koshi let me know!! we can always come up with something else <3#get ready to ramble | ooc

[Gif ID: Man of culture meme, but 'woman' replaces 'man' /End ID]
@radioactive-earthshine sorry I'm just now replying to this! I had to get my thoughts organized. I will admit that I need to re-read the new gods comics and I'm adding Rocket's comics to my ever-growing list, SO all of this is mainly a mix of my headcanons with a dash of projecting. Take all of this with the tiniest grain of salt 😅
*ngl, I'm only going full speed ahead after seeing folks say similar stuff regarding Orion asking about Rocket. Which is honestly a relief since I thought it was just me. Plus as my Favorite Character and being a sucker for multi/polyshipping, I'm determined to give Orion as many friends and/or lovers as I want. He can use more relationships in all of their wonderful varieties! This is something I can see Orion appreciating more as he gets older.
Yes, Lightrion is endgame for me bc they have the rest of their lives for their love to continue to change/grow. But I also see them both having a variety of other relationships bc it's not healthy to expect one person to meet all of your needs. I know it's just fiction and not that serious, but still that's how I think about it.
*I agree that New Gods will experience love differently with the main reason being compared to humans, they'd have all the time in the world! For me, I always hc that Orion & Lightray just kinda fall into love and it takes a while for then to actually stop to realize it bc of the intensity of their relationship. Also that Lightray's would have plenty of relationships both platonic and romantic, far more experience, etc.
As long as he's assured about his place in Orion's life, I can see Lightray being delighted when Orion decides to pursue relationships outside of what they have. And with Orion, I always headcanoned he goes for quality over quantity regarding relationships.
*I'm sure this wasn't your intention at all, but I don't think Orion would ever take Noble's place as Amistad's dad. Considering what we were given in YJ during the treaty talks on New Genesis, Orion does value love/family bc he decides to withdraw the request of taking Halo away from their family who loves them. This makes it even better bc this wasn't the fake!Orion/M'Comm who Raquel had spoke with earlier, but we're shown this is something Orion cares about on his own accord. Sadly, Raquel doesn't know this and likely assumes maybe her speaking with him earlier had worked a little. But WE know the truth! I know this is immediately followed with Orion talking about how birthdays/blossoming love/etc isn't important in the grand scheme of things (paraphrasing here), but to be fair everyone else was getting distracted from the task at hand.
Obviously, Orion would have to meet Amistad (Zatanna already knows him) and I know Raquel would be the type of mother to put her child first. He'd also meet Noble, see how they interact and know that Amistad has an amazing father. Sure some days are harder than others, but it doesn't change the fact that Amistad's loved and cared for by his parents. Orion definitely wouldn't be the one to overstep that bond unless given express permission by both Raquel and Noble.
There's no jealousy, no intimidation, no taking over or "I'm the dad now", no pissing contest of who's the "better man", nah none of that nonsense. Honestly, I can see all three of them in a relationship after they talk and realize they're all in agreement that Amistad deserves to be in a loving and supportive enviroment.
*Another hc/slight projection I have for Orion is that he expresses his love non-verbally through action/gestures, or by saying things like "drive safely/make sure you eat today/etc." instead of outright saying "I love you". Not bc "ew, love is for the weak and soft and totally not manly. To express such Girly Emotions would make me less of a man", that's just how Orion is for me. When he does express his love verbally, it's poetic I just know it.
I love Amistad's love taps as his way of showing affection and the thought of Orion receiving his first one brings me joy. Definitely something that would happen when Orion least expects it. And since I'm determined to give Orion as many cat qualities as possible: you know how cats tend to butt their heads against a person/another cat or press into a person's touch? Orion does that, but only with folks he's comfortable with.
*Immortal/Mortal relationships are soooooooo GOOD and painful in that the immortal continues to live on long after the mortals they've had relationships with are gone. I think it's even better for immortals to love mortals they form relationships with all the more and as intensely. Finding beauty in mortals that they themselves may have a hard time seeing.
Listen.... I'm ride or die with Lightrion fr, but when Orion asked about Rocket my immediate reaction was this I'm sorry 😂
[Gif ID: a gif of Eddie Murphy making a variety of expressions like he's been told a juicy secret /End ID]
No, bc why did the show make a point with him asking for Rocket LIKE THAT. HUH? WELL??? I know, I knoooooooow we're all acting a fool about this bc it's just Orion asking for an ally he's worked with (and worked with WELL, might I add) before. Also if anyone deserves to have a new god falling for them, it's Raquel ANYWAY. Like yes 100% a black woman would be capable of pulling a god 💅🏽💅🏽💅🏽
