Lillian is doing as Lillian does, wandering the street looking for interesting people. Living for a few centuries has given her an absurd idea of what "interesting" means. She looks for people who are countercultural, disorderly, or just plain forgotten.

She finds one who is, arguably, all three. If the bright green hair and cat ears didn't trip her "something is terribly wrong" sensors, the extra eyes and surrounding visual static definitely would have. This one is interesting.

That might or might not be a good thing.

"Hello. May I take your picture?"

Amelie looks up from petting Willard, seeming slightly surprised.

"Mine?¿"

Its cat eyes watch the stranger for a bit, trying to decide if they want her to know.

"I am afraid cameras don't exactly like me."

It jokes, trying to pass it off as a regular insecurity.

There’s something amazingly fascinating and frustrating about the amount of folk that seem to just assume all x reader readers are female. Drives me up the wall

I have an ask: how would an amusement park date go with the lis? 👀

Hmmm I know this is a prompt ask for all of them but all I can think about is that delirious drabble I made regarding Elio taking you out on an amusement park date before you guys became a thing.

You guys should’ve seen me. I was sobbing in our server because the brainrot hit me so hard.

Anyway do I share or not share? Technicallyyyyyyy this is a potential spoiler since we could canonically write in an amusement park date down the line.

Hmmmmmm decisions decisions

I have so many thoughts about Aran bloody Ryan on a daily basis you have no idea.

It all depends on Super Punch-Out!! Aran Ryan and Punch-Out!! Wii Aran Ryan being the same person.

Why? BECAUSE I LOVE CORRUPTION ARCS. THEY ARE SO GOOD FOR CHARACTERS.

Aran’s been a brain parasite so I give him the highest honor I can bestow: giving him angst.

(yes I am aware this is the same character that talks about cheeseburgers and does the funni screams)

also I made these at like 1 in the morning last night and I didn’t register the fact that it is Saint Patrick’s Day today so technicallyyyyyyy I made something with Aran in it? lmao.

Not technicallyyyyyyy for ramora but it is one of the colors from the site lol. Meet Weleith (name pending lol) my garnet! She uses she/her pronouns and vibes tm.

She is amazing tm and she knows it. I have an idea for her rider so i may eventually try and throw her into rp.

(Edit: this gal was added to ramora!)

What are you doing like right now? Right this second?

How ominous!!!!!! I'm technicallyyyyyyy responding to you, no?!! Mmmmm at the time you sent that, I was probably doing something reaaaally whimsical!!! Joy!! And!! Whimsy!!!! But right now I'm in the middle of trying to make cotton candy flavoured Joker venom!!! M'dad decided to NOT give me the formula so trial and error goes wild!!!! :0

ok so because i am a little bitch who likes their Izuku has a quirk AUs, hypothetical:

technicallyyyyyyy it seems that the vestiges aren’t actually certain that it is specifically the factors of “(one for all) + (inborn quirk)” that equal “burning out the lifeforce of users.” we are of course meant to understand that that is the canon explanation but there’s a little bit of plausible deniability wiggle room and that’s where I live

(also from a purely scientific standpoint “life force” isn’t really... real? like there’s neuroelectricity and ATP molecules both of which are pretty high-energy i guess but anything ‘consuming’ them would basically kill you instantly, not over the course of 20 years. Then there’s telomeres, the shit at the ends of your chromosomes that you lose a tiny bit of every time your cells divide and when you run out of them your cells can’t divide anymore and you die. Something that degrades your telomeres would definitely shorten your lifespan. but “this quirk damages your telomeres” is a little less evocative than “this quirk eats at your life force.” Arguably, either the gene splicing that transmits OFA, or if OFA caused cells to replicate faster (OFA doesn’t seem to have regenerative qualities, but i guess it could be on the upper end of normal) could damage or degrade telomeres, but frankly, lots of things can damage telomeres. this is a tangent.

So a common trope of quirked!Izuku stories where he also gets OFA that OFA enhances his quirk, I think that’s vaguely canon for the vestiges quirks? or at least Banjo mentions black whip being stronger for Izuku, which implies but doesn’t explicitly state, but there’s that wiggle room, the place that I live these days. OFA makes quirks stronger, and as it develops they get even stronger.

Fourth’s (Shinomori, gonna have to get used to having a name for him) quirk is, of course, Danger Sense: a spidey-sense style precognitive.. uh... danger.. sense.... pretty self-explanatory name there. what isn’t self-explanatory is the biological mechanism by which it warns it’s user to incoming danger. Izuku describes it as “feeling like getting stabbed in the head” which, while evocative, does not indicate, say, which portion of the brain lights up when it activates. I’m assuming the quirk signals the parts of the brain responsible for stress-response. It makes sort of logical sense, a “you get a migraine when you’re in danger” quirk is more disabling than anything, but a “survival response gets a head start” quirk would actually help someone survive, say, being hunted by an extremely powerful supervillain.

The quirk is basically your amygdala specifically has the gift of prophesy, so it takes a jackhammer to the hypothalamus and you get your whole hormonal stress response (cortisol, adrenaline, the whole shebang).

So a man with a super-amygdala from 30 seconds in the future walks into a bar gets a super-everything-enhancer that makes him the prime target of the demon lord of the criminal underground. I’m guessing that that “danger sense” quirk got plenty of use. which means that his HPA axis was pretty active too. which means we’re looking at symptoms of chronic stress and making that super chronic stress because the whole thing’s a side effect of the quirk that OFA is enhancing.

Long term effects of long term stress can include fun things like depression, anxiety (which in turn cause more stress), general fatigue, a compromised immune system, heart disease, and wouldn’t you know it, premature aging

(also kind of a side-note bc I haven’t done literally 2% of the relevant research, but “sudden explosive [electrical] activity in a portion of the brain” is kind of in-line with a seizure, and so is the only symptom we were actually given: really bad headache. I genuinely do not know enough about seizures or how to respectfully handle this topic to be all like “this is the epilepsy quirk!” but with this hypothesis of how the quirk works (amygdala Goes Off sometimes), and we have research into what happens physiologically when parts of the brain flip their shit, have a tendency to flip their shit, and repeatedly and uncontrollably flip their shit over the course of a lifetime. idk if it would be rude or even accurate to say this quirk is like epilepsy, but I think it at least has some traits in common, so it seems reasonable to consider health effects of seizures, specifically, what effect frequent, uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain can have on the rest of the body. The essence of sci-fi is taking scientific understanding of the real world and projecting it into fictional situations. Apparently people with epilepsy are more likely to have other chronic conditions like dementia, heart disease, depression, and anxiety. this is a side note because if literally one single person with epilepsy tells me i’m off base here i’m deleting this entire paragraph)

Shinomori says he died of old age at 40, I’ve seen people joke about his quirk being ‘super anxiety’, but legitimately, the combo of “inherently stressful quirk + (extremely stressful lifestyle x frequent use of  inherently stressful quirk) + everything dialed up to an 11 because One For All” is absolutely plenty to shorten someone’s lifespan

TL:DR it’s completely feasible that Shinomori’s quirk, not OFA, is what ended up killing him

(now what this means for Izuku, who now has Shinomori’s quirk, in a world where being born quirkless will not save him from it, is a somewhat sadder thing to contemplate)

Thank youuu 🥰🥰🥰

8. Top 3 albums

I’m gonna do my top 3 Taylor albums bc I can’t be bothered to figure out how any other artists fit in 🤪😂

reputation

folklore

Speak Now

And it’s def changing all the time but rn I fucking LOVE speak now so much alsjdhdjds and rep is pretty solidly my fave 😗✌️

11. Top 3 TV show theme songs

I don’t think I’ve watched enough TV shows for this 😂 like the only ones I can think of just have theme music not really a song like the Office and the Good Place?? I also really like the theme some for Liv and Maddie lmao idk why I thought of that 😂

21. A song from my non-native language

Technicallyyyyyyy English is my non-native/second language and Chinese is my first but I’m not great at Chinese anymore 😂 but i got into this Chinese artist G.E.M. a couple years ago and I haven’t listened to her recently but my favorite song of hers is “多远都要在一起”

Not to be “that” person, but technicallyyyyyyy Loki as presented in the current MCU is not a “superhero” as the blind indicates, so I’d garner it isn’t about him. My initially thought was Tom Holland, but I can’t think of any relationships he’s been in publicly other than the Zendaya rumors.

Well a blind is not a thing to take literally

[firelord-frowny]

a sex/sexuality tmi lololol

so like. i’ve never been a Super Sexual person in that it’s not something i feel i ~need~ in order to be satisfied. i mean like, i get myself off on a regular basis lmao and i enjoy The Feeling and i probably would not enjoy a life where i was somehow unable to get myself off when i wanna, but as far as actual sex with a partner? nah. i’ll enjoy it with the right person in the right circumstances but i don’t feel compelled to seek out sex, and i’m peeeerfectly content to just Not Have Sex until i’m in a committed relationship, no matter how long that takes. 

THAT BEING SAID,

i have this lil Conflict in me omg where like... there’s a particular, weirdly-specific fantasy that i feel i would love to live out someday, which would involve doin the fuck with a ~female bodied person~. mind you, the fantasy is NOT simply to ~have a lesbian experience.~ the lesbian part is almost like... a technicality?? lmfao idk how to explain it, but it’s not a matter of me like... wanting to pretend or experiment or anything. i know i don’t have sexual interest in boobs or vajayjays. 

HOWEVER. i somehow still experience enough... insecurity?? about not wanting to feel like i’m Having A Lesbian Experience??? that i feel like i’d be uncomfortable pursuing such a fantasy unless I’m already in a long-term, committed relationship with my Dream Man lmfao. Even though like... it wouldn’t TECHNICALLYYYYYYY be a ~lesbian experience~ on account of my transness, but given that i’m still unsure when or if i’ll ever take steps to physically or even socially transition, the fact of the matter is that the world experiences me as a woman. and knowing that the world experiences me as a woman would make me feel uncomfy with the thought of doing activities that someone would describe as woman-on-woman sexy stuff. and somehow my brain feels like being in a relationship with my Dream Man would override the insecurity i might feel about doin sexytime activities with a lady??

BUT ALSOOOOO!!!!!

i’m not sure that i would feel totally comfortable with being in a relationship with someone who would be fine with me having a sexual encounter with someone who Isn’t Him??? Like, I feel like I expressly want my partner to want me to himself?? And like!! I’m not somebody who’s interested in having multiple partners at once, so that really shouldn’t be a problem, and this fantasy I’m speaking of is something that I can only see myself wanting to do once, like... idk, like skydiving or something. like, just something exhilarating that you have an amazing time doing, but then you’re also certain you’re never going to do it again bc it was just Too Wild To Cope With. 

and i just????? lmfao idk i’m anooyyyeeeed at me! but not in an intense way omg like. this isn’t an Issue that keeps me up at night or anything, but it does cross my mind when i imagine my long-term future and imagine what my sex life might be like.

Okay so technicallyyyyyyy that wasn't until after 100 more notes but in my defense I had school today. Same pronouns, different frog, under the cut.

[Image description: 10 pronoun icons displaying a green frog sitting on a large leaf and appearing to smile. The pronouns on each icon are, in order, voi/void, ve/vir, ae/aer, ze/zir, ey/em, e/em, fae/faer, ze/hir, xe/xem, and fro/frog.]

All neopronoun users deserve to see a very cool frog today. I don't make the rules.
