stickbug is a notorious nail biter. hes been at it for years, it annoyed haggar a lot and she tried forcing him to stop doing it multiple times(didnt work, hed stop for a while and then be at it again after some time), then later tashi was worried hed get sick or something(very little hygiene products available + putting your hands in your mouth constantly = not good) and told him to stop. it worked sort of bc he DID stop biting his nails for a bit .but instead he just started picking at his skin and biting the insides of his mouth(very little hygiene products + open wounds on you hands = NOT GOOD EITHER. IN FACT WORSE)

nobody can stop him hes just gonna do that shit till the day he dies i think

Victor had hammered the rules into her head almost from 'go' -- almost from the very moment he'd plucked her from the burning pen. He had promised her she would live, and that meant preparing her for the world she would grow up in.

lesson one -- if you're hungry, find food. if you can't find food, sleep. find food tomorrow.

she hadn't spoken a word since they'd walked out of the fire, but that was alright. she'd talk when she was ready. the animals had fled the scent of smoke, but there were still an incautious few who didn't quite move fast enough. the fire only faintly scorched the edges of the tongue-shaped fillet of meat he held out to her, blood still oozed over her fingers as she bit into it -- but to the girl, ravenous from a diet of only processed, barely-nutritious paste, it was the best meal she'd ever had.

lesson two -- the first best place for water is in your canteen. the second best place is in your stomach.

clean water was easy to come by inside the compound, but if they had to be out long, they had to carry any they needed. radiation, human waste, and industrial runoffs tainted all but the deepest aquifers. she'd been out three days and hadn't touched her canteen. he scowled at her and made her drink the whole thing. she threw it up again. it was a valuable lesson.

lesson three -- always know where your exits are.

she got cornered -- she needed shoes, her feet had finally burst through the soles of the only pair she had, and she'd gotten brave. gone with miss ororo to find things. back to the door as she entered the shop, entranced by the colorful objects that it hurt to remember were called toys. she heard the crack of thunder and turned in time to leap away from hands that tried to grab her. she teleported back to ororo's side and never made that mistake again.

lesson four -- find the high ground. watch and listen.

he was hunting, and he told her to keep watch. she went up a tree, heights never bothered her, and could see his form loping between the trunks. could see all the way to the edges of the forest -- could see the transport approaching. coming fast. he shouted at her when she teleported to him, and then immediately 'ported them away from the spot, but when she finally explained, he patted her head. good eye.

lesson five -- never go anywhere alone, never go anywhere without telling someone when you'll be back.

for the first time, she wanted to be alone. she was moody, embarrassed. rogue reassured victor it was normal for a girl her age, it was proof she was healthy... but she disappeared for two days, and when he finally found her, she'd holed herself up in a cave that was little more than a crack in the rock face, her ankle twisted and burning with fever.

lesson six -- never willingly disarm yourself

she was supposed to be training, and between quicksilver and the robotic turrets, she was giving her all -- but she had been told to leave her quiver before going in, she wasn't allowed to teleport him or other things for this exercise, only herself, and only within the confines of the danger room. he was fast, too fast, he hit her over, and over, didn't let her stop or rest or get her bearings --

she remembered the lesson. the tiny shard of a lance in her thigh holster. it was enough to make a hole wide enough to trip him. winning was a good feeling.

lesson seven -- trust is earned. look people in the eye when they talk to you. they'll tell you the truth even if they're lying.

gambit's x-ternals had stayed at the compound long enough for a briefing. their mission was do-or-die, and most of them knew they weren't coming back, so the night before was one of distraction and indulgence. of young people doing what young people did when they didn't think tomorrow was coming. sunspot 'call me robbie' had warm hands and a soft voice, and even though for a little while he made her feel special... his eyes were empty. he promised to come back. she wasn't surprised when he didn't.

lesson eight -- the bigger they are, the bigger a target they make themselves.

don't move. stand your ground. watch, wait, and when the moment is right --

she missed it. the fist that hit her nearly spun her head all the way round on her neck, and she went flying -- only just saved by sunfire's blocking her trajectory and guiding her safely to the ground. they were screwed, they were in way over their heads --

they ran.

lesson nine -- if it looks too good to be true, it's probably a trap.

the day was nice, the sun was out. for once, birds were singing. for a second, one could imagine a world of peace, where there was no apocalypse, no cullings. just one species moving through the wheels of time like any other. hunting forgotten, she simply wandered, breathing the air, watching the bugs fly around. she stopped. on the ground was something out of place. a doe, but unlike any doe she'd ever seen before -- the coat was pure white, as white as snow if clarice had ever seen what snow looked like. she imagined how soft that pelt must be, how nice it would be once it was conditioned...

a twig broke, but the doe didn't move. clarice didn't wait around -- gone, just before the ambush that almost had her.

lesson ten -- hide if you can, fight if you must. run if it's your last option. and do. not. look back.

hell had come, at last. hell in a way she never knew possible. fire in the sky, the sounds of screams and smell of blood and burning flesh. apocalypse was dead at last, but at what cost -- their world, the world that had ended so many decades ago, was finally breathing its last, the falling rain of nuclear destruction making her skin feel tight and her teeth feel numb.

something was pulling her. in a way it felt like her own portals, yet she hadn't initiated it, and unlike the feeling when anyone else tried to teleport her. she was going and --

no -- no, don't make me leave --

Mr. Creed --!!

Can bullying not be a thing?

As people who are the victims are already struggling with their own demons before you cause more harm.

It’s not kind or nice for anyone.

I feel people do nothing to stop it from happening until it’s too late.

To the bullies out there, grow the fuck up and look at yourself in the mirror one time.

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me
