#setting for summer seasonal

[kentnaturaltribrid]

Some bits of both going on here with everything going on, there’s for one thing a mystic triangle with a few things going on to keep it protected, and then on the bowl to keep everything going in order for everything to flow smoothly there’s a Pevtagram. Though, also have sitting there a piece for the pets & a list of a few of the Alkestors (Ancestors of various side of the small amount that I have memorized in order of importance and by title as well for some of them). Whilest others are more difficult to place. Though with that being said , there’s far and few between a couple of witches and other species as well. Though, some of them, including the Necromancy are still a rare species. So, there’s hard to find books or even herbs amongst every other item. Though, one thing remains clear since piling everything else up in the project that it doesn’t matter much unless you’re searching for a specific pet whom in memory is either important (or both important & willingly agrees to become a transferable asset to your team.) Speaking of which, she may not be too happy about that mirror incident. As with most things, have found that she can be quite superstitious & translucent or well more easily absorbed in tasks and structurer most things around her lists of endless tasks and events. Also loves to make an entrance no matter how hard she doesn’t want to be noticed, she makes sure that there’s an entrance in which becomes etched into the mind for a long time. Speaking of which, one will know that most likely preparing for an entrance like that is taking quite some time. Regardless of the garden itself, she still should be able to make a wild entrance or her memorable one. Should be by Halloween, but for the most part since she’s an Important feline of the lines then it’s going to be one that must be prepared for in the long run.

Besides being just feline, she’s got other things going on that she didn’t ask for. Mainly due to all the lists and the events, among other things. It’s been 3 years but she should be able to handle plenty of entrance and among other things eventually possibly the incident with the mirror, but due to that the feline is a Mexican Short Hair, they don’t handle bad news very well, as with most other cats of the culture and families around areas where there’s lots of superstition and lores among them being most of the felines end up being a bit concerned about the situation in which the day is to be used and she will be wanting an honest answer as to what happened to it . They’re not picky cats, but her for sure is one that will be asking daily for answers towards many things in the same situation. Regardless, she’s extremely adorable for the most part. On top of that, not only has much else to do or say on the subject, except for that she will be meowing not constantly but will have quite a soft meows, as with most of the short hairs have. Though, it’s not uncommon for them to have the loud meow for a situation where they are very vocal towards the matter & subject alone. That being towards the matter, it will most likely have to be the mirror.

Some of the casual outfits used in Project SEKAI: The Movie are directly taken or slightly altered from outfits shown in the game. For Leo/need, Saki's outfit is taken from her band outfit shown in Ichika's untrained Star Peace Connection 4*. Shiho's is very loosely based on her outfit from her untrained Bonds and Grief 4*.

For MORE MORE JUMP!, Minori's is taken from MEIKO's untrained Use a Rabbit as Springboard?! 4*, Haruka's is taken from her untrained In the Face of "What I Love" 4*, Airi's is taken from her untrained That's So Unfair! 3*, and Shizuku's is her Journey to Bloom casual outfit.

For Vivid BAD SQUAD, An's is taken from her untrained We're About to Open! 3*, and Toya's is taken from Len's untrained My Dancing Shoes! 4*. Akito's is loosely based on his outfit from his untrained Unchanging Summer Festival 4*.

For WonderlandsxShowtime, Emu's is taken from Nene's untrained Celebrate with Fireworks 4*. Tsukasa's is loosely based on his outfit from his untrained A Persistent Game of Tag 4*, Nene's is loosely based on her outfit from Emu's untrained Our Eyes Are Sparkling☆ 4*, and Rui's is loosely based on his Journey to Bloom casual outfit.

For 25-ji, Nightcord de., Kanade's is her Journey to Bloom casual outfit, Mafuyu's is taken from her untrained Gentle Magic Words 4* (the top miscoloured yellow possibly due to misinterpretation of the lighting in the card), and Ena's is taken from Kanade's untrained The World Shown Through Music 3*. Mizuki's is loosely based on her Journey to Bloom casual outfit.

Ichika, Honami, and Kohane's outfits appear to be completely original.

Okay I'm back on grinding out money pins in NEO (as you do) and I'm sorry was anyone going to tell me that the overpowered Gatto Nero pins are each named after a season and the flavor text says they're engraved with the words "seasons greetings"

Implying they were released as seasonal promotions, And, someone in the UG, who had access to pins, would be able to collect them, and be able to tell what time of year it was, perhaps important because their grasp of the passage of time is shaky, wherever they are. And perhaps they could read the pin, and be protected, not just by the power of the psychs, but by knowing that, somewhere, somewhere in the real world, the person who made the pin is trying to say hello?

Or was I supposed to notice on my own and come up with this elaborate headcanon on my own?

Hi there! I've got a fantasy story I've been working on for ages, and one of the characters has a magical "disability" that I've been having doubts about. (content warning for very minor self-injury.) Sorry in advance cause this is kind of a long ask, but I think it's all important context.

My story has a very slice-of-life theme in it, that despite all the grand adventure and amazing magical deeds it also focuses a lot on friendship and fighting to preserve peaceful lives, and most forms of magic are very mundane and help out with daily jobs and hobbies.

This character, part of the main cast, is a person with the common ability to grow a pair of wings and minor other body changes that allow her to fly via magic. In a region of her world where magic is taught and cast verbally, she was originally able to cast magic verbally, before she was cursed to be unable to easily use magic. This curse locked off her ability to cast magic in the standard way, and also to freely transform between her human and winged appearances, though she can still fly and use her wings normally with only some discomfort. Since she's in her winged form permanently, she discovered that if she uses her feathers to write out the words of her spells, in the dirt or on her skin or whatever, she can circumvent the curse and cast spells, though it's not comfortable to her since she's still suffering the effects of the curse and it's not a standard or reliable way to use magic. It causes her discomfort and even pain depending on the strength of the spell, and sometimes she has to pull out a feather if she needs to cast a spell right away and doesn't have any harmlessly shed feathers on hand. (like yanking out some hair, hurts but won't really bleed or cause injury unless she pulls out a big flight-devoted feather.)

Originally, her goal in the story was to find a way to break her curse, and regain both her ability to transform freely as well as speak magic in the usual way, because using her feathers in such a way was damaging her ability to cast magic at all and might have really hurt her soul if she didn't find a solution quickly. Though I've been having trouble getting that plot point to work, and I've also been reading on this blog about how perfect magical healing of disabilities is a cop-out. I've come to the conclusion that this character's condition is definitely a disability in the context of the world. Due to my magic system's development and lore, I've set the magical rule that the longer a curse has been carried by the victim, the harder it is to break by magical healing, and this character's curse has been on her long enough that it's pretty much permanent. I've thought that if I remove the "this curse will kill her if she doesn't break it" part of the plot, and simply reduce her curse to something uncomfortable and unorthodox, but manageable and survivable, I can develop her personality and her magic style around this mostly-unique method of casting magic and keep it as part of her character, instead of having to remake it all fresh once the curse is "broken," and also make it a fantasy disability. I've been doing a bit of research on chronic pain disorders and I think that's a good place to start from to make her ways of dealing with her curse believable?

I've been debating whether I want to give her back the ability to change between appearances or not, and I'm pretty sure I want to keep her in one appearance permanently, partially because while every other winged character has the ability to get rid of their wings when they're in the way, she'll have to keep them and I'll be able to use her to develop more of the culture and inventions around winged people. Her wings still function well, but she can't fly as far or as complex as some other members of the cast.

Does this sound like a reasonable path to take? Is this a good place to start developing a magical disability? I don't want to make her a token disabled-adjacent character so I'm working to expand my world and cast enough to show how real-life disability is accommodated via magic and society (don't worry, disabilities can't and won't all be magicked away by lazy worldbuilding), but I've been thinking about it as I write and I think if I commit to this character actually being disabled in her world, it'll be better for me to write her compellingly and add some realistic references and character traits for her.

If this isn't a good path for me to take with my character and story, I would love hearing any other suggestions you may have for me to treat this character and her curse, and if you have suggestions for me to implement other fantasy-adjacent disabilities instead in the small explanation I've given of my world and magic? And of course if there's any horrible glaring ableist problems you see while reading this, please let me know and I'll do even more research and fix them right away. If this isn't enough information, I can provide more, but this ask has gotten really long and I don't wanna talk endlessly.

Thank you for reading, and thank you in advance for answering! I hope you're all having a good day, and a nice holiday season if you're celebrating anything!!

Hello asker,

No horrible glaring issues jumping out!

I find this pretty interesting, and I do agree with you that this character's condition is a disability in the context of her world. It does seem very adjacent to chronic pain; obviously not a 1:1 but it does track. I think it is in fact a good place to start for believability and research!

Now, on to your other questions.

Whether the curse should be lethal:

I think it would be more interesting and even more impactful if the curse wasn't lethal, and instead is something she has to learn to manage. It makes it more akin to chronic pain conditions in real life, and I really like that her unique casting method will always be a part of her. She could, for example, want to break the curse at first, and later figure it's not a necessity. Or perhaps the curse is originally lethal and it only gets partially broken — like it's been in place too long to fully break, but it stops being lethal or something similar. Or maybe she thinks it's lethal, and figures out it isn't.

It's still possible to make the curse lethal and for her to want to break it, because of course no one wants to die, but it could also definitely lead into the magically curing disabilities trope. The cure trope is, as you know, pretty tired already. It would likely be harder, and require a lot of care, and you'd definitely have to make sure there's other characters with disabilities whose main goal is not to cure them. It could also still be lethal, in the way some disabilities are in real life, and she could live out her life the way she would want to and can until she does die. I am not sure if that's what you want for your story, and it's completely fine if it isn't – I just wanted to present various different options.

Whether to give her the ability to switch during forms:

It seems you want to keep her in one form permanently, and I like that. I like that she keeps her wings even if they're in the way, I like that they aren't the same as some other members of the cast, and I like that they help her with her unique magic.

I think this seems like a very reasonable fantasy disability, and if you'd like to check out similar asks we've answered (including for winged characters), we have a fantasy disabilities tag.

Basically, in summary, it would be really impactful for her to learn to live with her disability and for the narrative to treat this positively despite the challenges.

Hope this helps, and if you have any more specific questions, feel free to send another ask.

Side note, me personally I love mundane magic and your system sounds neat. :)
