1975: what is the first happy memory that comes to mind, recent or otherwise?
uhhhh last night after i got complimented i asked if someone would b willing to give me a hug and ALL TEN OF THE PEOPLE IN MY THEATER GROUP GOT UP AND EACH ONE GAVE ME A HUG i love them
black nail polish: do you have a bucket list? if so, what are the top three things?
i don’t but here are three things i’d like to do
1. compete in a slam poetry contest
2. go skydiving
3. learn to skateboard
thank u for ur time i will probably think of twenty more risky™ things i’d rather do after i post this, alas,
oil paints: what would you title the autobiography of your life so far?
“oh shit i fucked up again”: the saga
old books: what’s one thing you don’t want your parents to know?
i had to think about this for a bit but oh my god
probably that one time i almost crashed a car into a tree while kissing someone
(please drag me for this, so many people have, and IN RETROSPECT, i was probably MAJORLY dissociating or smth but you know what!! im owning up to this embarrassment don’t tell my mom)
(there are other things but im not comfortable sharing them with a wider audience so this is what u get)
11:11: name three wishes and why you wish for them.
1. for everyone i love to have a good day
2. for someone to learn something that makes the world a better place
3. ima be selfish and ask for a reason to smile bc i like smiling idk it’s early in the morning and im sappy

john boyega, daisy ridley, oscar isaac, carrie fisher, harrison ford
im sure u see where this is going
(its going toward lightsabers) (in case that was at all unclear)
lightning: what’s the worst thing you’ve ever done while drunk or high?
ive never gotten high bc im personally Uncomfortable with doing it but uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i very clumsily rejected someone who asked me out? and hugged someone for a very long time?? idk when im drunk i mostly get very happy-rambly or melancholic and cuddly so,,

More Ancient AU facts
Stuff that got asked and answered over on my insta that I figured I’d share here as well!
- Lance asked keith out first out loud, but Keith kinda already figured they were dating at that point already (they totally were)
- Keith’s wings are only vaguely sensitive on the webbing on the inner side. They’re actually incredibly durable and can be used practically as shields.
- Soulmates are a thing in this au now by the way
- When you meet your soulmate, it’s an instant connection, a gut feelings. The idea of being separated from them is just so viscerally upsetting, it’s almost painful. Most people meet when they’re older.
- Lance and Keith tho, met when they were babies, so you can imagine how two kids throwing monstrous temper tantrums cause they want to see each other can go sahklhkglsa
- so they didn’t actually realize that they were soulbound until they were older shakhlgsa
- they realized it because, when people get older, they get restless and feel the need to travel to find their partner. Keith and Lance never once felt that way. The closest to that was whenever they were separated from one another. And it just clicked that, “oh, yea, that makes sense” but also kind of “goddamnit, of course it’s him”
- Also, if you are an Ancient’s soulmate, but you yourself are not an ancient, once you soulbond, you basically become immortal so you can stay with them forever
- Lance and Keith intertwine their tails a lot, it’s basically like holding hands
- I just wanna clarify also, that Lance isn’t strictly a mermaid in this AU. He’s an Ocean Descendent, an Ancient one at that. He sticks mostly with the mermaid form because that’s what his parents found most comfortable, so it’s his default. He can take on the form of ANY water based mythical creature if he so wants.
- Also, don’t touch his tail. Unless you are family, a close friend, or given explicit permission, you do not touch his tail.
- Keith takes Lance flying, whether Lance asks him to or not. sometimes he’ll just scoop lance up out of the water unexpectedly
- wing hugs. Ever since they were little, keith has tried his best to wrap his wings around him and lance, even if they weren’t big enough. Once they grew to full size, he would often just cacoon the two of them in his wings whenever he was feeling vulnerable, needy, or protective
- Lance and Keith own an apartment together gsakhlsa
- but they also have their own island that they escape to whenever they feel the need to get away (it was a gift from Hunk for their wedding)
- On their first official date, Lance called in a favor from Allura and asked for a “cosmic light show that’s gonna sweet Keith off his feet and right into my arms”
- something like the northern lights with exploding stars and a metero shower happening all at once ended up being of the most nearly-life threatening but also romantic moments they could have asked for
- i say “life-threatening” but Ancients can’t actually be killed.
- they can be wounded and hurt badly enough that they go into a “resting/healing period”, which is mostly a meditative coma, but they can’t be killed by an outside source.
- when either Lance or Keith is in their resting/healing period, they experience the same feelings as when they’re separated, only like 500x more potent. They’re restless and anxious and more protective and it’s practically impossible to pry them away from the other’s side
- they decide when they want to go out, and once they do, they join The Colony of the Cosmos, where Allura and her small group of people reside.
- Only the Ancients go to the Colony once they decide to die, everyone else on the planet just gets reincarnated over and over again.
- Lance, Keith, Hunk and Shiro’s families are all Ancients, so they all get to go to the colony when they decide its their time
- A bit about the Colony, they’re people of pure cosmic energy. Ruled by Allura and her family. (Honerva and Zarkon are happily married, and Lotor never grew up troubled, they’re perfectly happy).
- When any of the Ancients become cosmic beings, they lose their descendent-attributes (Lance would lose his ear-fins, Keith would lose his horns, etc) and they would gain the Altean-esque ears and specialized markings
- but Cosmic Beings can alter their appearance however they want, so they can always give those attributes back to themselves if they really wanted them
- Lance’s home in built into the underside of a massive island right off the main shoreline
- which Keith visits on quite a few occasions, once he’s granted the Blessed Breath (which is an enchantment that involves an Ocean Ancient tracing a magic rune along their throat that allows them to breathe under water. It’s generally permanent, if used consistently and as long as the caster doesn’t dispel the magic)
- he was only allowed to have it once he actually learned out to swim
- also, it’s impossible for Lance to ever ever drown, even if he’s in his human form
- keith’s is basically the equivalent of lava girl’s land, filled with volcanoes and lava rivers, but there ARE forests of Ash trees and they have beautiful hot springs
- It’s really hot there tho. Lance can visit and endure the heat pretty well, since he’d been visiting since he was little, but he needs to have a canteen of water at hand at all times.
- plus the kogane family had a cooling spring implemented for when lance and his family decided to visit
- Everyone has the ability to look entirely human, no scales, horns, wings, tails, etc, but it’s not really necessary, unless they enter a “Human Glamour required” zone
- Everyone is aware that Ancients exist. they just kind of assume they stay in their “pristine palaces, too good to mingle with the common folk”, not realizing the doofus that just dabbed and the boyfriend that got whacked in the face because of that are two of the most powerful beings in the world
- and being ancients, they’re KIND of famous? once people find out that they ARE ancients. Cause really, they blend pretty seamlessly among everyone else. Most people just assuming they’re common ocean/fire descendent civilians
- people are usually more like “whoa, what? really? YOU’RE an Ancient? I just watched you coke on a baby carrot for almost a solid minute”
- usually that’s followed by people asking just how old they actually are
- Lance & Keith: “it’s been a long time, lost track” - Keith: *actually lost track of how old they are* Lance: *refuses to reveal just how old he actually is*
- Keith gives Lance gifts of gold and jewels and cool weapons that his people either find in their caves or craft from their magma
- the trident that lance has is actually a gift from Keith’s family. The metal is unable to rust or age, it’s completely unbreakable, and with an utterance of a spell, the metal will heat to the same temperature as if it was being forged (like the sun-forge elf blades from the dragon prince)
- meanwhile Lance gives keith ocean found objects, pearls, sea stones, shark teeth, weapons coated in some of the sea’s most poisonous creatures, stuff like that
- Shiro: “I uploaded my music to the cloud, look” An actual rain cloud: *starts playing Africa by Toto*
- Shiro also CAN have normal human feet, but he actively chooses to have bird legs cause he can pick stuff up with his toes without needing to bend over
- When Lance was first learning how to walk, he first went to Allura so he could surprise everyone with how great he is at walking. Only, she taught him by basically playing QWOP with his legs. (google it if you haven’t heard of it, it’s fucking hilarious)
- Hunk is an Earth Ancient, able to shift continents and form mountains with nothing but a thought
- he popped up a statue of Keith for Lance to take to his underwater cavern where Lance keeps all the jewels and gold that Keith gives him, where he basically performs a Part of your World on a constant.
- Pidge is NOT an ancient. She’s a new Age, and gained the figurehead position at a young age because she founded a new type of magic
and FINALLY
- how Shiro lost his wing, how he met adam, and can he ever fly again???
- the accident happened back when he was still a teenager, when Lance’s and Keith’s parents were still the ruling figureheads for their territories. There was a brief moment of imbalance in their world when either Krolia or Lance’s mom was severely injured and wnt into a healing period.
- with the balance so suddenly being thrown off so early in the world’s creation, there was a power backlash throughout the Ancients.
- Shiro got zapped right out of the sky by his own lightning, his wing got fried, and it broke when he crashed landed down
- he lost his wing, since there was ... absolutely no way to salvage it.
- he went to the Forest Fae, as they were renowned healers, when his wing was still aching, and hoping maybe there was an alternative for his wing
- And that’s where he met (one) of his soulmates, adam. (eventually they meet Curtis, cause damnit, shiro deserves two soulmates, LET THE MAN BE LOVED). Adam helped with the phantom pains and worked his best to help the wing heal properly, even if it wouldn’t ever be able to grow in full again
- and as for whether shiro can fly, there IS an alternative.
- a super complicated spell called the “Spirit of the wing”, which basically gives him a spectral wing to make up for what he’s lost. but it is incredibly exhausting on the user, and tends to make his phantom pains act up more severely
- so he only uses it when he absolutely needs to
sorry that this was so long! But I thought that i would share them!
