꒰⁠ Demonstration of a Relevant Ability: Rain in a Miniscule Scale ꒱

The campus greenhouse was a popular site for students to flock to, doing all sorts of activities inside. Whether it be for the purpose of hanging out only and admire the year-round wet weather through glass walls coated in raindrops, or for agricultural research and other academic-related tasks. This Garden of Eden in a transparent house, filled with flora from floor to ceiling, sometimes attracting tiny flying fauna, has got you covered with all of your needs.

Clouds of small amounts spawn around a set of basil plants and other herbs that had been crossbred since at least two months in an experiment conducted by Denver and Madeleine in an attempt to create a hybrid plant which will be used in the field of medicine. Rain showers the newly bred herb, absorbing every drop of it yet just enough to keep it from being overfed, the cloud slowly disappearing in the process. Denver watches through the entire act, mesmerized at the thought of seeing the regular precipitation in a smaller scale.

"That looked beautiful." He says as he takes a closer glance at the shrinking wisp, fighting off the urge to let his finger feel through it, knowing that the rainwater must not contain any dirt from his hands. So-called 'magic' was a common thing, a trait often categorized based on the ancient Greek concept of the four fundamental elements; air, earth, water, and fire; albeit only about half the population possesses them naturally, otherwise it is learned by those who aren't capable of it. Yet, it still never disappoints to mesmerize the human eye.

"I find it beautiful as well. I would sometimes create little tornadoes about the size of my palm as demonstration for when I get bored or when I'm studying about meteorology." Madeleine slightly smiles at the compliment, a bit embarrassed upon receiving it for something so trivial— at least to her. She then lifts her left hand, a cloud fading in around her before lifting itself in thin air.

"Don't get me wrong, but I don't see why you have to compliment that when you can speed up the growth of plants, quickly let flowers bloom and fruits to ripen— a very relevant ability for agriculture. Crops would be flooding in the markets with an ability like yours."

"Well, thank you. This wouldn't have been possible under five months if it weren't for wizardry." He watches as the clouds float around her, now travelling to the other plants displayed. Hesitating for a minute, Denver finally asks a question he found rather childish.

"My apologies for bringing up a silly question, but would you mind if I touch those?" He points at the clouds that Madeleine may have seemed to forgot spawned just a few moments ago.

"Ah, these? Sure. I wouldn't mind. They're cold and made of really tiny droplets, so they're a bit damp as well. You really wouldn't feel a solid texture." With a move of her hand, one lowered and moved between them, allowing Denver to easily touch it without reaching up and struggling. He lets his hand through the cloud, feeling a sudden cold, yet humid texture exactly like she described.

"It feels cold, and a bit funny for some reason. Great how these give us water in many forms when they themselves are made of it."

"Congratulations, you have experienced a childhood dream of many." She chuckles and he did as well before going back to their experiment.

~~~~~~~~~~

More content about Dandelion and his equally nerdy friend. There are a lot to unpack about their setting which I may or may not have publicized, such as the fact that magic exists, and is something aquired through either birth or learning and training. Madeleine is capable of manipulating clouds, and Denver can manipulate plant growth. Both have their limitations, Madeleine having to take an incapable amount of physical energy just to create a supercell cloud, causing her to become severely exhausted and pass out, her physique weaker than average serving as an obstruction and limitation. Denver's ability is limited to plant growth only, not being able to prevent its death. They still tend to play around with their abilities despite that.

Anyways, the final two characters out of six will be put into progress afterwards.

I have this very specific Noah and Gaius interaction in my mind where Gaius finds Noah whilst he's on the run and ends up giving him a lift to where he needs to go. Somehow they end up talking about having been the cause of someone you love dying and past misdeeds which caused hurt to the ones you love and Noah's just like 'Well it doesn't matter because whatever you did won't be able to compare with what I did, it's just different and you wouldn't get it', thinking back to all the supernatural elements, and Gaius is just thinking 'this teenager is so unserious, pls go back to school'.

Shadows of the occult

07.Revelations of the other side

Wednesday x fem reader

summary: In the shadowy halls of Nevermore Academy, you navigate the delicate balance between reality and the Other Side. As an occultist with a powerful yet unstable connection to the elements, you learn that the Other Side does not come easily. it demands secrets and sacrifices. Caught in the gaze of the enigmatic Wednesday Addams, you must confront the darkness within before it consumes you.

Warnings: Dark themes, mental health, supernatural elements, intense relationships and mature content.

The air in the room hung thick, stifling, with a weight that felt almost oppressive. Shadows seemed to ripple along the walls, responding to my heartbeat’s erratic rhythm. This wasn’t just any conversation; this was me opening the door to secrets I had kept for too long. And Wednesday — her gaze colder than ever — watched, waiting with a sort of expectant quiet, her sharp eyes never leaving my face.

"You suspected, didn’t you?" I finally asked, my voice barely above a whisper, not wanting to break the silence that had settled between us.

Wednesday’s eyes narrowed, her expression guarded. "Of course. What happened with Tyler and the Hyde taught me more than enough about monsters and twisted things lurking beyond the ordinary. But this... what you carry, it's something else. Something old, something dangerous." Her words carried a dark edge, a strange mix of curiosity and wariness.

I nodded, the weight of my own confession pressing down on me. "The Other Side isn’t just a place for souls and spirits to wander. It’s a dimension that overlays ours, connected by forces like chaos, death, fear, and spirit itself. The elements that govern it... they’re more ancient, more powerful than anything Tyler or any Hyde could wield."

Wednesday’s gaze didn’t waver. "Then explain what’s different. Explain what ties you to all of this."

Taking a deep breath, I began, feeling the pulse of energy coursing through me. "Occultism... it’s more than rituals and strange symbols. It’s an art of understanding and manipulating the hidden forces that govern our existence. My parents — they weren’t ordinary occultists. They were exoterrorists," I revealed, noticing the faint lift of Wednesday’s eyebrow. "They practiced the occult to tear open the fabric between this world and the Other Side. From a young age, they used me as a bridge, a conduit for their rituals."

"They turned you into a tool," Wednesday murmured, her voice carrying a tone of sharp disapproval. It wasn’t pity — Wednesday was beyond that. It was recognition, an acknowledgment of my past that felt oddly like respect.

"Yes," I admitted, feeling a strange weight lifting as the truth came to light. "And because of them, more than half of me... it doesn’t belong here anymore. Their rituals tied me to the Other Side in ways that I’m still trying to understand. They exposed me to the purest, most dangerous forces within it. Spirit, Fear, Death, and Chaos — the four elements that govern its reality. I can wield them, but each time I do, I lose a little more of myself."

Wednesday’s expression was unreadable, though her eyes glittered with a dark interest. "Spirit, Fear, Death, and Chaos. What do they mean for you? Can you control them?"

"In a sense." My voice faltered as I continued, but I forced myself to press on. "Spirit is the essence that binds all souls — past, present, and future. It’s life and death, woven together. Fear is the force that governs every sentient creature; the more it manifests, the more the Other Side consumes everything it touches. Death is transition, the eternal end that awaits all things, but it’s also a doorway — and the Other Side holds that doorway open. Chaos..." I hesitated, feeling the familiar chill of dread that the thought of Chaos always brought. "Chaos is pure destruction. It unravels everything, turning order into nothingness. Every time I summon its power, I tear the veil between our world and the Other Side a little more. That’s why the boundary is weakening."

Wednesday held my gaze, her expression tense. "So that’s why the balance is off-kilter. You’re connected to all these forces, and the Other Side is... pulling at you, isn't it?"

I nodded, clenching my fists as I felt that pull more acutely than ever. "Yes. Every time I use those powers, I’m dragged a little closer to the Other Side. If I lose control, I’ll become a permanent gateway, a door for everything over there to come through here. Life and death, order and chaos — all of it will dissolve."

For a moment, Wednesday seemed almost to consider the weight of my words. Her eyes were cold but calculating, assessing the situation with that keen, relentless focus she possessed. And then she finally spoke.

"What happens if you do lose yourself?" Her question was as direct as ever, her tone demanding honesty.

"If I lose myself, the Other Side wins," I answered, a slight tremor in my voice. "The veil will break. Everything from the Other Side — chaos, death, every twisted force and creature it holds — will pour into our reality, tearing apart the balance of everything we know."

Wednesday stared at me for a long moment, absorbing the gravity of what I’d just told her. Then, after what felt like an eternity, she finally nodded, her expression set in that familiar mask of cold determination.

"Then we won’t let that happen." Her voice held a steady resolve, but something else glinted in her eyes — something sharper, more curious.

She straightened, and I could see a new question forming behind her gaze. "But the Sect of Masks... they told me the Other Side wants me, not you. They said I’m the catalyst for the imbalance. But why?" Her tone was laced with frustration and suspicion.

I frowned, wondering the same thing. The Sect of Masks had insisted that she was the reason the balance was slipping. That she was the key.

A shiver ran down my spine, and I met her gaze, feeling the same creeping dread she must have felt. "I don’t know," I admitted. "But if the Other Side wants you, there has to be a reason. Something about you... something connected to it. We have to find out what that is. We need to know why it believes you’re the key."

Wednesday’s eyes narrowed, but her gaze didn’t waver. There was a fire there, a cold, unyielding determination that I had only ever seen in her. We both knew that every answer we uncovered would only lead us deeper into the shadows — but the answers were there, and they were waiting.

Do you have any hc about Damon's season 1 powers? I'm especially interested in shapeshifter!damon. The whole concept is quite fun to imagine. Also why do you think he has these extra powers? Personally after the whole lily thing I like to imagine that Damon is an untrained heretic. Also a scenario where hos powers would be revealed to scooby gang and/or the mikaelsons.

okay, okay so. Prepare for a short essay. (Sorry)

Intro!! So, in the Vampire Diaries books, vampires have Powers (capital letter and all) that feature things like weather manipulation, shapeshifting, flying, elemental control, telepathy, I think they can see auras or sense other vampire's Power. The books and the show are only like barely related. A lot was changed to make the show. (The Salvatores' ages, for one--they'd been Renaissance era men who'd killed each other in a duel over, you guessed it, Katherine. A ton of characters had personality changes (show Bonnie is better, imo), and book Caroline was an antagonist, plus Jeremy straight up didn't exist, Elena had a v young sister. So on, so forth, everything ended up super different.)

The show started off a (teeny) bit closer to the source material, but sharply diverged, including getting rid of the Powers thing. Something about it being too supernatural???? in the vampire show??? idk might have to fact check me on that one think I read it somewhere random.

But, as we know, it's heavily implied, and outright stated in some cases in early S1 that Show!Damon has access to some kind of power. Controlling the weather, controlling animals (perhaps shapeshifting, but maybe just a connection), and a long distance kind of hypnosis.

What we know about it:

In episode 1, a crow is seen following Elena around. It shows up multiple times. In the car with Bonnie, at the graveyard, when she goes to the Salvatore House for the first time. The crow heralds Damon's reappearance to his brother. Stefan says, "Crow's a bit much-" which implies this is a Thing that he knows about. Damon replies, "Wait until you see what I can do with fog."

The very first scene Damon is in, the opening with the couple on the way back from some concert (i think) it's foggy. They mention something about it that implies it shouldn't be foggy, or that it wasn't previously. Like, "What's with all the fog?" At the graveyard, Elena sees a crow, then it starts becoming much more foggy.

Bonnie, at some point, touches Elena and says she sees a crow, some fog, and a man.

It's foggy when Vicki is attacked.

So. We've established those two things. Moving on.

There's that one scene where Damon is locked up and long distance compels Caroline to free him--i think after calling the crow into his cell and eating it to gain that strength? maybe--it's heavily implied because he fed on her they have a connection he can use to influence her mind without direct compulsion.

I'm sure there's other examples, but I can only watch so much of S1 at a time.

OKAY!! now that that's been established, time for the fun headcanon stuff.

Firstly, I also love shapeshifting!Damon! Tis good fun and it lets me project gender envy i mean it's a great metaphor about vampires being inhuman!! Yes! That! Nothing else ahahahahaha. Something something, predator's perspective, something something instincts. In the book Damon could turn into a large crow and a wolf. Highkey wish they'd kept the crow thing as more than just the occasional motif. It could have been so much fun!! Crow minions!!! Crow friends!!!! Crows bothering the fuck out of people he wants to annoy!!!!! Damon trades shinies and food for things!! Somehow always has a snack on him. Crow drama??? Just casually mentions weird lil bird rivalries. Crows are Smart! They are super social!!! They hold grudges!! They absolutely have Drama on par with Mystic Falls. It could also be played for angst; Katherine announces her return with with a bunch of bird corpses in the Boarding House. Damon, who is unsympathetic to human deaths could be visibly upset by this!! Also nicely plays into the 'likes animals but pretends he doesn't bc it's a weakness' thing.

Comes home and there is feathers in his hair, nearly blending in. Except, on closer look, they're positioned oddly, like they'd been growing from him instead of just settling there. Then he brushes them off or shakes his head and they fall away. Maybe Stefan notices he's a bit more prone to tilting his head at things to get a better looks. Is a bit more easily distracted/more prone to notice shiny things.

A crow follows Elena around and maybe she makes friends with it. Or a crow comes across Stefan having some angst fest in the forest and bothers him into a better mood.

I like the heretic thing!!! I also just think the Salvatore bloodline is magic charged bc it's a doppelganger line!! They've got Silas germs!! Maybe Damon is a little bit more psychic than he should be. Maybe his compulsions require less effort and his dream-walking is better than vampires twice his age!!! Mild telekinesis would also fit in with early S1 nonsense! moving doors to creep Elena out!

As for his powers being revealed... I mean. Suddenly he's more valuable to the Originals? Not as much as Elena was, but there would prob be more recruitment efforts than in canon. Plus, Kol would be more interested in him as more than a batting target. Klaus and Elijah may press the 'saved ur life thing' more. Hm... I guess it would depend on when in the show? Early seasons and it just makes him more a threat. Stefan maybe assuming he did something to a witch??? Later in the seasons and if he develops those powers it's fun to imagine him having to learn to use/control them + having to deal with increased need for blood to fuel them. If it was a matter of him keeping them secret, I'm sure the Drama will manifest with 'how could you not tell me!!' and so on and so forth. Technically speaking, I imagine it'd be put in the same place as Jeremy's medium powers. Brought up when needed. not entirely sure, may think on it later

The Myth of Sherlock Holmes, Told By Frogwares

Some philosophical discussion, or just wildly wandering thoughts of mine, on SHCO and SHTA. Long and...potentially boring...or intriguing, depending on the reader themselves.

Warning: Contains spoilers.

Also warning: If you are the kind of people be like "the bad guy is wrong and immoral so everything they say or think has no merit whatsoever", please please don't open it.

I have long been thinking about writing something about the dialogue in the gallery between Sherlock and Vogel in SHCO, and now after finishing SHTA remake, I realize this new game paints a clearer picture of the philosophical implications of this new FW Sherlock Holmes series, so I can explore it a bit more.

First, a point to make: in both games, the antagonists are correct, in a way. Yes, they are manipulative, immoral, even blatantly cruel and crazy; and no, I am not saying they did something right. But examining only the logical and philosophical aspects of the stories, they both got something right, some core understanding of the world, no less.

In Vogel's case, it is the power and role of human emotions and the absurdity of the notion of truth. In the gallery and the party, he makes it clear that feelings are powerful and irresistible; human rationality is no match for feelings and emotions; everything that matters is what we feel. He also insists that truth is more than what you simply observe; the consequence and influence are part of the truth, which makes "truth", in a way, a matter of interpretation and choice rather than ironclad objectivity.

And he has a very brilliant point there. The social implications of truth and which aspects we choose to reveal or emphasize can not be understated. Moreover, knowing the limit of human rationality is the first step towards real reasoning and a better world. The arrogance of believing everything is rational or reasonable always leads to disasters and the worst form of irrationality.

Then Vogel's view goes this way: the notion of pursuing truth is but an illusion, and it could be undesirable and destructive. We see that too at the endings of SHCO. Even after finishing the story, there is still no absolute truth about Violet's death, which is partly open to Sherlock's (or the player's) own interpretation. He has nothing to say to reproach Vogel's remarks. He says Vogel is lying, but that only addresses the man's motive, not his argument itself.

As for Rochester, at first glance, he shares very few similarities with Vogel: he is a much, much worse man and makes less sense than Vogel. Vogel, at his worst, is to prove himself right by manipulating Sherlock and inflicting pain on him (and you can't deny that he does help Sherlock, intentional or not, to find the truth, which is what Sherlock desires), but Rochester is utmost destructive, a mass murderer, trying to bring an end to the world.

But Rochester, as mad and evil as he is, also grasps some level of truth about the world, about the ancient gods.

The game is amazingly vague about if all the Cthulhu business is real or merely Sherlock's hallucination and the result of cultists' manipulation. But comparing the remake with the original game, one thing is clear: there are more "magical" or supernatural elements in the new one--the mysterious mind-controlling Khaleid lenses, the increasing storms, the things Sherlock sees and experiences...if they are not entirely created by some ancient gods and their worshipers, at least on thing is clear: there are much more mysteries that science cannot decipher exists in this world.

More importantly, in the very end, Rochester makes Sherlock admit that everything he has seen is real. The horrifying legends and lurking danger of an ancient entity truly exist, not pure madness and hallucination, not the effect of drugs. In my opinion, this is more significant than the argument of "if Cthulhu really exists". It's all about Sherlock and his interpretation of the world, reality and sanity. And here, during the confrontation, he starts to doubt it all. In this way, he proves Rochester right--there is no such thing as sanity. Ironically, at this point, between the two, Rochester is the sane one--if sanity is to distinguish false and true, to face and accept reality, and insanity entails denying reality, indulging in delusions and false beliefs that fail to align with the real world, then Sherlock is the one who truly has gone mad.

It sounds absurd at this point--at the end of both games, Sherlock is proved to be wrong to an extent, his rationality tested, belief questioned, and sanity shattered. It seems he has failed in his own pursuit, yet he still persists and fights back--but on what ground? If the antagonists are proven right, then what is he standing for? If he has lost the core of himself, then what else matters?

"Nothing beside remains" is Vogel's assertion. To him, Sherlock has become a "half sunk shattered visage", a man proven to be futilely struggling against the inevitable. Rochester plunges to his death, refusing to give Sherlock the answer he desires. Rochester stands firm on his ground till the bitter end, leaving Sherlock alive, questioning everything about himself. Doesn't that sound like a spiritual failure, the worst form, since he achieves his goal but is left internally shaken and broken?

And for me, THIS is, paradoxically, the entire point of these stories. It's the very charm, the magic of the new FW SH games.

Sherlock Holmes, one of the most popular fictional characters mankind has ever seen, is the personification of rationality and reasoning mind, at least in the original design and/or public interpretation. He was created and celebrated in the new dawn of science and rationality, the age of enlightenment and reason. At the time, human beings worshiped reason as the worshiped gods. Many believed everything was rational and all problems could be solved by science and progress. The all-mighty rationality of humanity could overpower the greatest gods in history.

Well, we all know how that went.

In a way, Sherlock Holmes is a god himself, a myth collectively created by the minds of the Age Of Reason. His methods marked a revolution in criminology and forensics studies. This never existed character is sometimes called "the father of modern forensics". It could easily be one of the most absurd things in human history; nevertheless, evidence-based detection is much superior to the crude and erroneous methods used before. It's no surprise that someone believed justice could be achieved merely by applying those new methods.

We all know how that went as well.

The essence is: human rationality and the ability to reason are limited; humans are always prone to be affected by feelings and other factors than pure reasoning--it's etched in our physical existence. Falsely believing in the equation "reason = correct" is fatally dangerous. I don't mean it in a negative way; on the contrary, only by recognizing the limits of reasoning can humans improve society. The fundamental merit of the scientific method is to question and test existing theories and find breakthroughs from challenging things that used to be believed to be the truth. For a true rational mind, "truth" and "objectivity" are really holding a thin layer of perilous ground, ready to be tipped over by newly found evidence. The very foundation of our existence and all human knowledge could be challenged at any time--it happened before, and it will happen in the future. And the truth-finding time always brought some doubt, commotion, and chaos.

Now, that starts to sound familiar, not unlike what is conveyed in these two games, doesn't it?

In the wake of the ever-shifting understanding of the universe and the chaotic scientific development and new findings, facing the challenge of questioning every piece of knowledge that humans used to hold true, the sense of emptiness, meaninglessness, and absurdity of human existence emerged. Believing in gods, or whatever "irrational" higher power used to be the source of life's meaning and purpose, a way to find comfort despite the dangerous and chaotic state of being. And now all these are shattered--not only the notion of gods but also the mere idea of something we could always hold true, never to be challenged.

Cthulhu mythos is one of the products of this sense of desperation and emptiness--cosmicism, the focus on an indifferent universe and the insignificance of human existence, and the fear triggered by facing the cosmic void.

It may sound gloomy and pessimistic, although Lovecraft himself said it was neither pessimistic nor optimistic, only scientific. I don't think being scientific and pessimistic are inherently contradictory, they are in two different realms. This view is, in a way, scientific and rational, the universe, as we can see now at least, doesn't have a purpose, and human beings are not the center of the "meaning" of the universe, if it ever has one.

Therefore, I conclude that the Cthulhu mythos is the dark side of human rationality. Or being less judgmental, the original myth of hopeful and powerful reasoning power, represented by Sherlock Holmes, and the dismal, pessimistic picture painted in the myth of otherworldly gods, Cthulhu being the most prominent, are the two sides of the same coin.

And here is the very question: where do we stand between these two powers? Or: what is the meaning of life?

In this line of thought, I see SHCO and SHTA as a set of stories exploring the realm of existentialism.

This idea may appear like my overthinking and over-reading the games, which I don't deny entirely--I enjoy digging deep into something until my interpretation surpasses its own intention. Nevertheless, I don't believe I make it all up--the repeatedly mentioning of Sisyphus in SHCO is more than a dim hint, but a strong implication.

In Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus, the figure Sisyphus represents the human condition of the absurd--the desire for meaning in life contradicting the silent, indifferent universe. Our life is like Sisyphus' predicament--rolling a giant rock uphill only to watch it fall down helplessly, then repeat the same toil again and again. The predestined falling rock could also be a metaphor for the inevitable death waiting for everyone, yet we unfailingly roll it up, without the hope for it to stay even a moment. In the quest to seek reason and ultimate truth, the situation is not unlike the falling rock. We see in history that no matter how perfect a scientific theory seems, it always ends up being challenged and modified, even thrown away.

There are three stages of this journey in the absurd and existentialism realization: first, one is not aware of their meaningless existence, thus ignorantly happy; then, as soon as one becomes conscious of the absurd, they are in the center of a tragedy; yet, only when one is fully aware of the true nature of their being and face it, scorn it, own it, could it be conquered, and only then, true happiness could be achieved. "At each of those moments when he leaves the heights and gradually sinks toward the lairs of the gods, he is superior to his fate. He is stronger than his rock."

Back to SHCO, in the gallery scene, Sherlock makes two assertions: "Feelings are simply one's animal ancestry trying to wrest back control of the brain." And "Mankind's highest achievement, above all others, is objective and rational thought."

He is not wrong, only too confident, even arrogant. Vogel is not wrong to say "men never act freely and rationally anyway," either. The fact is we can never totally free our brains from our animal ancestry, and when we hold our achievements in too high a position and refuse to reevaluate, we are surely doomed.

At this point, Sherlock is unaware of the absurdity of rationality and holds tightly onto his ignorant happiness and confidence. The end of the game marks his entering into the next phase when he acknowledges his own tragedy, with a trace of hope that he is braving it and taking control.

Later in SHTA, when facing an even larger challenge, Sherlock tries in vain to maintain that everything can be explained by reasoning mind. Yet as he sinks deeper and deeper into madness, he once again goes through the phases of acknowledging the absurd, this time questioning not only his personal history but the very meaning of the whole world. It is definitely a tougher task for him, and the end is gloomier than SHCO since he shows less courage and hopes for a better future.

Nevertheless, in each ending of the two games, in the struggles, failures, and shattered hopes, when he falters, doubts, and fears, he somehow always holds true to his purpose--an obsession, comments Mycroft. Obsession may it be, it is the meaning he attributes to his course of actions.

At the end of SHTA, it is hard to point a finger at what is exactly the thing he fights for. Truth? Justice? Love? Humanity? Connection with another human being? Maybe a portion of each, but that's not all, not the core of it.

On the top of the lighthouse, Rochester convinces him that everything is real. Sherlock is not winning in their argument, just like when he confronts Vogel, not much to argue against the man other than pointing out his intention was malicious. He can't prove Vogel or Rochester wrong.

Yet he tells Vogel, "I remain", which is the most powerful thing he could say, and all that matters. Vogel believes that he has made Sherlock "let go of the rock", but he fails to understand Sherlock--he doesn't see the truth rock he holds.

He himself is the rock. The meaning is in himself and himself only.

That is what he uses against Rochester, not his logic or intelligence, not even his morality or humanity. Nothing matters but his, and the world's very being itself.

There is a very interesting point in the lighthouse scene, in terms of the thinking process and structure of belief, Rochester and Sherlock Holmes are not that different.

Rochester makes it very clear, everything is real, and it is only rational to accept it as it is. He knows Sherlock and knows him very well. He knows what kind of man he is, and what he values the most--his love for knowledge and truth, his deepest fear and weakness. He knows Sherlock has doubt in his heart. He knows exactly how to counter each argument, maybe in a way Sherlock himself would put it. "One must imagine Icarus happy...(ah, another reference to The Myth of Sisyphus, the last sentence being "one must imagine Sisyphus happy.") And were you to ask him of his choice, he would have not a single regret." Doesn't that perfectly summarize Rochester himself and Sherlock Holmes? At the end of SHCO, hasn't Sherlock "plummeted to his death" spiritually as he found out about the truth of his mother's death? Jon died, and so did part of himself. Yet he insists on flying toward the sun, again and again, with no regret, no looking back, seeking only the truth, or whatever he holds true. Rochester, in this sense, is no different. They are but one at this point. It's not only an irony that the most famous Sherlock Holmes quote comes from his mouth, but also the very essence of this story: Now we both know the truth, that I am right about this world. Then what else stands between us, what else do you hold against me?

In a practical sense, Sherlock has John and his brother, and the knowledge he has gained in the journey, all that can help him win the fight. But in the philosophical and spiritual aspects, he is defeated, temporarily at least. He is forced to his knees, admitting everything is real. Also, in the epilogue, we see how much he is suffering, not able to fully recover from the nightmares.

But also in the philosophical aspect, victory and defeat matter little. As Sherlock tells John, "If our future is black, it is better surely to face it like a man than to attempt to brighten it by mere will-o'-the-wisps of the imagination." For him, the notion of hope is meaningless, a wishful thought. He determines to face everything as it is, without dressing them up with his fancies and lies.

As he lets go of everything, he gains it all.

When he finally completes processing the madness of the world, when Rochester believes he can defeat Sherlock this time, Sherlock finds the peace and courage to face it, and tells Rochester, "maybe your god is unstoppable, but you are merely a man. And I know how to stop you."

What is the point, I would imagine Rochester asks, if you know that Cthulhu is bound to come sooner or later? If the world is predestined to be destroyed, what is the point of stopping me here, only to prolong the empty and meaningless suffering of humanity?

And this choice, when facing the same premise, is what I believe to be the fundamental difference between Sherlock and Rochester, and Vogel too: Sherlock chooses to roll the rock uphill despite knowing it will eventually fall down.

Crazy as his behaviors are, Rochester's line of thought is not that hard to understand: If Cthulhu is predestined to destroy the world, then I am only following the inevitable. The world is meaningless thus as well destroyed. Vogel follows the same logic: men never think rationally, then why bother? Better only feel and consume since striving for reason is futile.

In their mind, the rock must stay at the top, or there is no point in rolling it up. If not forever, then never.

Don't we, our society, tend to think the same way? If one changes their mind or changes the course of their career, marriage, hobby, etc., we judge them to be a failure, at least in the previous pursuit.

But when death is inevitable, and everything must be put to a stop eventually, then what and who is not a failure?

The highest rationality, on the other hand, is to recognize this inevitable ending and the futility of maintaining certainty and eternity, and go from there.

And this is the essence of Frogwares' myth of Sherlock Holmes, the one who faces the ultimate meaningless, the absurd, and the destruction at the end, yet still "remains". At this moment, "being" is the most, and the only powerful thing, to stand on one's ground and defy the inevitable like Sisyphus rebels against the gods. It doesn't matter how much Sherlock questions himself, doubts everything, and struggles against the darkness; it doesn't matter his own mind lingering between reality and madness. Just as "there is no sun without shadow, and it is essential to know the night", there is no reason without doubt, no reality without madness, and no happiness without gaze into the abyss of the absurd. Despite all the suffering, he remains, holding tight to the rock--himself. And that's all that matters. At this point his victory is the only INEVITABLE, as Camus puts it, "The lucidity that was to constitute his torture at the same time crowns his victory. There is no fate that cannot be surmounted by scorn."

Therefore, one must imagine Sherlock Holmes happy.

NECROMANCER TWINS??

-🎻 anon

aaah, a timely ask. my best friend and i were just discussing them!

i'll admit that they don't have names or actual faces yet – they're still in the conceptual phase mostly. but yes, i have twins that are necromancers! actually, fun fact: one of those twins becomes the lead magician on the island of rocia. now, whether that means they actually built the island into what it is today or they're just the oldest witch alive is unclear. just know that they're integral to rocian history.

to put their existence into perspective, i asked myself a few questions: what separates the supernatural from the divine? why do the divine have so much power when it is the belief and fear of mortals that sustains them? the divine have no jursidiction over non-believers until a believer encounters them, so what makes them any different from the supernatural?

i asked my best friend this, to which they replied that the difference is their relation to humans. the divine typically exist on a higher plane while the supernatural exists within the same realm. i swear this makes sense in the long run.

my world's religion (and overall basis, really) loosely follows shintoism in that the divine have as much power as you give them. in fact, they exist solely because mortals believe in them. for example, the sun and moon existed long before their respective deities did. but because so many mortals believed that the sun and moon held some sort of power, sentient beings were born from their strong beliefs. the same goes for the other planets in the solar system – think of how the planets are named after roman gods.

example: neptune is the god of the ocean. the people of this world believe that neptune presides over the ocean and all open bodies of water. yes, there are nature spirits and nymphs that inhabit those places, but the primary god that mortals believe have full jurisdiction over these bodies of water is neptune.

so there are gods that exist because of observable natural objects in a mortal's day to day life. but there are some gods that exist due to inescapable realities, like saturn – the god of death. death is not tangible, but it is inevitable. no mortal can escape death. so death, much like the sun and moon deities, is a primordial being.

this has a point, i promise.

so witches who manipulate tangible nature (water, earth, fire, air, and even electricity) are seen as abnormal, as mortals aren't designed to have control over these elements. witches control these things with the assistance of gemstones, which are harvested from the hollowed out corpses of fallen dragons. (those corpses become caves.)

witches who manipulate intangible aspects of nature – life, death, the mind, or even time in some cases – are killed.

and finally, we've gotten to the twins! the twins unknowingly out themselves to a little girl who was annoyed by the presence of a lone butterfly. the girl was mourning her mother who had recently passed away, so when the twins meet her and reassure her that the butterfly is the spirit of her mother trying to say her final goodbye, the girl feels comfort. but unfortunately, her relatives saw the encounter. correctly assuming the twins to be necromancers, they stone them and the twins flee. later down the road, they come home to find that home... is gone. reduced to ash. panicking, they run to the town square only to see their parents being burned at the stake.

so... they watch their parents burn. flesh burning, screams of agony.. all that.

in the end, the twins sift through the ashes for any surviving items. one twin settles on a few shards of bone that survived the fire, and another settles on a necklace that their mother had enchanted to withstand anything. the necklace scalds them, burns its presence into their skin, but they don't care. whatever it takes to ensure that they remember this moment.

how could something other than divine flames burn these people so thoroughly? why would the sun god do this to them?

(later down the line, they will discover that it wasn't the sun god who did this to them. in fact...

...never mind.)

Magic Spells: A Journey into Ancient Wisdom

In a world where the mundane often overshadows the mystical, there exists a realm where whispers of enchantments and incantations still hold sway – the empire of magic spells. Conjuring images of ancient tomes, swirling mists, and whispered secrets, magic spells have captivated human imagination for centuries. But what lies beneath the surface of these seemingly unbelievable incantations? Join us as we delve into the depths of magic spells, exploring their history, significance, and enduring allure.

The Origins of Magic Spells

To understand the essence of magic spells, one must journey back to ancient civilizations where sorcery and mysticism were intertwined with everyday life. From the sacred rituals of the Egyptians to the arcane practices of the Druids, magic spells have been an integral part of human culture across diverse societies.

At their core, magic spellsare manifestations of human desire to influence the world around them, whether to heal, protect, or manipulate. Rooted in belief systems that transcend rationality, these spells draw upon the power of symbolism, intention, and ritual to channel energy and bring about desired outcomes.

The Art and Craft of Spellcasting

Contrary to popular belief, spellcasting is not merely the domain of robed figures chanting under the moonlight. It is a nuanced craft that requires discipline, focus, and a deep understanding of metaphysical principles.

Central to spellcasting is correspondence – the idea that certain symbols, objects, and actions possess inherent magical properties. By harnessing these correspondences and aligning them with one's intention, a practitioner can amplify the potency of their spells.

From simple candle rituals to elaborate ceremonial magic, there exists a vast array of spellcasting techniques, each tailored to suit different purposes and traditions. Whether drawing upon the elements, invoking deities, or tapping into the power of celestial bodies, spellcasters wield a diverse arsenal of techniques to manifest their will.

The Ethical Considerations of Spellcasting

With great power comes great responsibility – a principle that holds in magic spells. While the allure of wielding supernatural forces may be enticing, practitioners must approach spellcasting cautiously and ethically.

The Wiccan Rede, a fundamental tenet of modern witchcraft, encapsulates this principle with the adage, "And it harms none, do what ye will." This injunction emphasizes the importance of ethical conduct in spellcasting, urging practitioners to consider the potential consequences of their actions on themselves and others.

Moreover, discernment is crucial in spellcasting, as practitioners must be mindful of the boundaries between personal empowerment and manipulation. The ethical use of magic spells entails a deep respect for all beings' autonomy and free will, ensuring that one's actions are aligned with the greater good.

The Enduring Allure of Magic Spells

Despite the advancements in science and technology, the allure ofmagic spellscontinues to endure in the modern age. In a world fraught with uncertainty and upheaval, the promise of tapping into unseen forces to shape one's destiny holds a timeless appeal.

From the proliferation of New Age spirituality to the resurgence of interest in occult practices, the fascination with magic spells remains a testament to humanity's quest for meaning and empowerment. In an increasingly interconnected world, the ancient wisdom of spellcraft offers a beacon of hope and a reminder of the profound mysteries that lie beyond the realm of the mundane.

In conclusion,

Magic spells represent a tapestry of ancient wisdom woven with symbolism, intention, and ritual threads. As we unravel the mysteries of spellcraft, we discover the power to manifest our desires and the profound interconnectedness of all things in the vast tapestry of existence. So, let us embrace themagic spells within and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation guided by the timeless wisdom of the ages,Durga Astrology.

There are few things more synonymous with warlocks than a juicy, perfectly cooked steak. These mysterious beings, often portrayed as powerful and magical, are known for their love of rare and succulent meats. However, one thing that may surprise many is that when it comes to checking steaks for warlocks, the task is simply immeasurable.

Firstly, let's take a closer look at the abilities of warlocks. These supernatural beings are said to possess unimaginable powers, from conjuring spells to manipulating the elements. With such immense strength, it's no wonder that traditional methods of checking food become obsolete. Most people rely on cooking times and temperatures to determine if their steak is ready, but warlocks have the ability to manipulate time and temperature to their liking.

Furthermore, warlocks are not ordinary humans – their bodies are capable of withstanding extreme levels of heat and cold. This means that the common practice of using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of a steak becomes unnecessary. Warlocks can simply touch the meat and use their heightened senses to determine if it is cooked to their liking.

Moreover, the idea of cooking meat to specific levels of doneness is also irrelevant to warlocks. While humans may prefer a medium-rare or well-done steak, warlocks have their own unique tastes and preferences. They can infuse their magic into the cooking process, altering the taste and texture of the steak to their liking.

Another reason why checking steaks for warlocks is immeasurable is due to the fact that they are not constrained by earthly limitations. Yes, warlocks may inhabit the same world as us, but their realm of existence and understanding transcends beyond what we can comprehend. For them, the concept of "checking" something is absurd – they know the exact condition of their food and do not require any external validation.

In addition to their unmatched abilities, warlocks also have a deep connection to the natural world. They can communicate with animals and understand their needs, which includes sourcing the best quality meat. Warlocks have the ability to sense the health and vitality of an animal, ensuring that the steak they consume is of the highest quality, making the need to check for freshness obsolete.

In conclusion, the idea of checking steaks for warlocks is simply incomprehensible. These powerful beings are beyond the constraints of common cooking methods and possess abilities that make traditional checks unnecessary. So, the next time you see a warlock enjoying a perfectly cooked steak, remember that for them, the concept of checking is simply immeasurable.

LOCATION

[SEOUL CITY STREETS] The capital of South Korea. You’ll find yourself at the side of a fairly busy street, with quite a lot of young students rushing by you to get to class. There’s not too much notable about this street but if you stick around for an hour or two, you might find a handsome stranger wandering down the path.

RACE

[HUMAN] But not entirely. Outwardly, you look like any of the billions of Homo sapiens that live on this planet but inwardly, you are a different beast entirely. Modified Human, is what you are truly called. A human being who has received scientific, and pseudo-scientific, enhancements to put you far above the average man or woman in power. Whilst you have no unnatural abilities beyond your raw physical power, you do have the ability to enter a transformed state to increase your overall power greatly. At first, this state may only alter the appearance of your hands or feet, but as you grow in power, so too will your transformed state grow in coverage and boosted power, until it turns you into another creature entirely. You are likely a part of the Union but there exists the possibility of being the product of an independent nation or organisation, in secret from the Union.

ORIGIN

[STUDENT] You are a student at Ye Ran High school in Seoul. You live close to the school, enough to walk there and back every day with ease and you’re well regarded by your classmates. The school will soon be host to an ever growing number of supernatural beings and even if you yourself aren’t human, or even have connections to the Union, the Principal won’t let you come to any harm. As long as you don’t threaten anyone else under his protection of course.

PERKS

[AURA MANIPULATION] Aura is the life force that exists within all living things. A more spiritual place might name it Chi but in the largely scientific world of the Union, Aura is considered as spiritual as electricity or oil. Most Humans never gain more than they need to live, perhaps a few monks might be able to perform some minor cantrips but nothing more. Nobles and Werewolves will both eventually unlock the ability to emit and manipulate their own energy. It was the work of the great Doctor Frankenstein who discovered how to artificially awaken and enhance Aura within Humans and other beings. The Union took up his work and combined it with basic physical enhancement to create the Modification process known today. Aura can be used for a wide variety of effects and is a rare skill outside of the stronger members of the Noble or Werewolf clans, or the stronger agents of the Union. It can be used for basic attack blasts or beams of energy, to fly or levitate in the air and to create shields or other solid objects from the pure energy. Skilled users can use Aura to remove unwanted foreign substances from their bodies, ranging from mere dirt to poisons or sicknesses. It can even be transmuted into the elements, such as fire or lightning. More esoteric effects then these may exist but remain mostly undiscovered. You begin with the basic ability to emit and use Aura at a level roughly equivalent with your power as described earlier, or in line with Na Yonsu, an Agent of the KSA in South Korea. This allows you to fire blasts of energy that could knock down a 3 storey buildings’ walls or form that same blast into beams or grenade like projections. As with your physical powers, your control and power with Aura will increase with training and modification.

[CHIMERA] Modification focuses on the enhancement of existing traits. The idea of a hybrid, of trying to mix the blood of a Noble or Werewolf with the other or with that of a human, was barely entertained. Attempts were made of course but they ended in failure, if they began at all. It will not be until a few months from the beginning point of this place that the first true hybrid, Titan, is created. Titan is a temporary fusion, not meant to live more than a day at most. You are not. Through the work of some unknown genius or just a natural miracle, you are a perfect hybrid of all three races. Modified Human, Noble and Werewolf blood flows within you and you possess the abilities of each race in full, along with thrice the starting power. This option costs 200CP if you are a Human and 100CP if you are a Noble or Werewolf, to reflect that gaining the blood of a human does little for one of the other races.

[I DON’T LIKE NEEDLES] When the subject is flawed or the experiment itself is too taxing on the subject’s body, they’ll often require drugs, medicine to keep their bodies stable and held together. A common tactic used by the Union to control its less valuable and more numerous agents is to enforce a dependency like this, tying those agents to the Union for the sake of their lives. You’re unlikely to be considered so expendable, if you’re even part of the Union at all, but nonetheless you’ve found a way to extend the adaptations that M-21, a previous agent of the Union, slowly developed. Any substance you rely on for survival, from drugs to keep your body working to the blood a freak vampire must drain to survive, can have its significance lessened over time. The more important the substance, the longer it will take, but eventually you can train your body to not require it to survive at all, removing the need to rely on any such drugs or sustenance. You’ll still need to eat and drink regular food for energy though.

[THE LOT OF THE UNDERDOGS] The Union very closely controls the production of Modified Humans. As long as they alone possess Modified Humans of any real power, their control of the world from the shadows cannot be questioned. Still, despite the risks of the extreme punishment the Union would dole out if they knew, some countries’ have no choice but to try and produce their own models. The KSA, an organisation within South Korea that liaised with the Union, decided to focus on creating Modified Humans that could hide their powers. You too were made in that vein, your powers masked until you decide to use them. Nothing, living or not, can detect that you are anything but a normal member of your species in regards to supernatural powers or enhancements. Even an in depth surgical examination would somehow fail to reveal any unnatural powers or energies. The moment you use your powers however, this protection will leave you until a minute after you stop using those powers.

[WEAKNESS OF THE FLESH] No matter how far Modification science progresses, it will always be limited by the nature of its subjects. Humans, Nobles and Werewolves cannot be granted limitless amounts of power from the start, not without tearing their bodies asunder the moment they try to move. Modification is a process, one that is getting faster over the years, but still a process that must be done over time and in many instalments to ensure the subject can safely use the power they’ve been given. Your body manages to skip all of these steps. In fact, your body will never be in danger from self-damaging due to containing too much power. Whether natural to you or given to you by an external process, no amount of power or energy will ever cause harm to yourself. However, whilst you won’t be harmed even if you exceed what you should be able to safely handle, neither will you be able to utilise the energy that goes past your limits. You’ll contain it just fine and you’ll adjust to it far faster than normal but until you can safely contain that energy normally, you’ll be unable to fully use it. Of course, you could always choose to bypass this effect and use the power anyway but that’d be very dangerous to your body.

[HE’S FROM OVERSEAS] All too easy to be swept away and drowned under a tide of unknown words and actions when you’ve woken up in a strange place and time. Those in situations like yours often adjust poorly, if at all, and thus stick out like sore thumbs to those on the watch for suspicious beings popping out of nowhere. Even if you were able to read minds, it’d take a truly prodigal mind to be able to learn an entire language so quickly as to convince those around you that you knew it all along. You might not have that prodigal mind, or even the ability to read minds, but it seems you have no need of it. When you encounter a new language being spoken to you or a new culture surrounding you, you need only a few minutes to assimilate the knowledge into yourself. All that is needed to learn the language is a few minutes of listening to those around you speak that language, all that is needed to learn the culture to the point of being almost like a native would be a walk through the heart of a city or town of the culture. You’ll never stick out in mannerisms or language now but your appearance may be another matter.

[ALL FOR THEM] Even the strongest man in the world has weak points. He might be able to take any blows and destroy any foe but no one person can be everywhere at once and there are more ways to harm someone then to attack them directly. Family, Friends, Lovers. All are paths through which to tear away at the life of the enemy. Especially when that enemy would sacrifice their life to protect those precious to them. You though, have no fear of your friends being endangered because of you. No matter how personal the grudge, those hostile to you will only ever go after you and not the people you care about, whether that be just your family or even innocent bystanders. Their hatred is for you alone. They’ll defend themselves if your loved ones attack them but any retaliation, as long as you are still alive, will be focused on you. And if your family and friends are in danger from something or someone not related to you, you have an unerringly accurate sense for where they are and the ability to reach them in time against almost any obstacles or time limits. So long as it is even slightly possible, you’ll be able to arrive in time to fight for them.

ITEMS

[TOTAL ABUSE OF FUNDING] Surely, if the Union has such great advances of technology at their disposal, to create Modified Humans and sentient Robots, they’d have the technology to do other things too? A gift from a parent, teacher or other well connected adult you know, they got this good sized laptop from the depths of the Union’s laboratories and is it ever a Beaut. It’s not just the best laptop money can buy, it’s the best room filling computer the Union could create, packed into a machine that can fit on your lap. Coming with all the accoutrements you could want, it’ll update to retain this level of relative power in future settings too.

[FLY IN MY EAR] Nine pairs of tiny earbuds, arriving in a small but fancy box. Each of these earbuds is actually a highly advanced piece of technology used for secure communications. They work at a range of up to ten kilometres, are undetectable to anything save physically looking in the wearer’s ear and can pick up the wearer’s tiniest whispers to transfer the communications over privately. They can’t be hacked or intercepted either, so you’ll be sure of the privacy between you and your allies. If they ever break, a new box will arrive for you the next morning with replacements.

DRAWBACKS

[YOU ARE MY MASTERPIECE] You didn’t grow up here with a happy life and family. The first memories you have of this world in particular are of waking up on a table, with your body carved open and a masked man poring over your innards. A particularly powerful and deranged member of the Union either caught or created you and it was just before this jump began that you managed to escape from his clutches. The horrific few years serve to constantly hound your memories and constant nightmares, with paranoia being a constant companion. Your maker hunts you, desiring his ‘favourite subject’ back in his clutches and willing to do anything in his significant power as an Elder to get you. If by some miracle, you managed to get this mad scientist to ease up on his desire to split you open and become more co-operative with you, you’ll be able to take him along as a companion at the end of the jump.

[DESTRUCTION] There used to be someone, a man or woman you could call your closest friend. Everything about them seemed perfectly fitted to become your best friend, to become family in all but blood. But something awful happened to them and the two of you were forced to split ways, not knowing the fate of your other half. But now that friend is back and not for the better. They have a goal, they desire something that you absolutely cannot abide by. Perhaps they wish to slaughter humanity or kill a person you just happen to love. Regardless of what the goal is, you will find yourselves inevitably placed on opposing sides of a battlefield. Your best friend was an equal to you in power and abilities, how could they not be and truly call themselves your equal, and one way or another they will try to cross that one line you can’t allow to be crossed. You could indeed allow them to carry out their plan and such a choice could see the two of you become friends once more, but that same choice would mean betraying whatever you find most important to your very being. If you make that choice and tear up part of what makes you who you are, you’ll find that they may come with you on your journey to future worlds.

FUTURE 

Do you want to [MOVE ON] to new worlds, continuing your adventure into the great unknown?

Azulaang - supernatural

Azula came out of the beach house and finds Aang sitting close to the beach. She looks up in the sky and finds auroras in the night sky. Various spirits dance in the sky. Azula sets next to Aang who just notices her out of bed.

Aang: “Azula! Good to see you up.”

Azula: “You’re the one put those panda lilies into my room, didn’t you?”

Aang: “(face briefly turns red) Too much?”

Azula: “Just a little.”

Aang: “Sorry.”

They sat in silence as they watched spirits dance in the sky as a result of the two northern and southern spirit portals opened plus a new one that opened after the destruction of Banyon grove tree and the tree of time.

Aang: “How are you feeling with everything happening?”

Azula: “You mean how am I taking in the revelation that my father is actually a demon, old as time itself, who used my great-grandfather to wage a century long war based on a lie, a lie I dedicated my life into perusing? Very well!”

Aang nods sympathetically.

Azula: “How did he even do all this?”

Aang: “Every solstice, the moment where line between the physical realm and spirit realm is blurred. Vaatu would use the threads of fate inside the tree and was able to control Sozin’s fate. Next, he sought out your grandmother who spent her life studying the spirits and learning their ways. He manipulated her into believing he was going to win no matter what, so she helped him escape. She astral projects into the tree, Vaatu fuses with her, they go back to her body but Vaatu’s dark power vastly depleted but constructed a human host for Vaatu to inhabit. Ilah died of child-birth and the newborn empty vessel was named Ozai.”

Azula: “What does that make me? Half-dark spirit? It would explain why I was so hateful and...not all there in the head.”

Aang: “No, I don’t think so. Vaatu was reduced to the level of a human soul and needs harmonic convergence for his power to return.”

Azula: “So what’s his endgame plan, cause both realms to be lifeless, useless voids?”

Aang: “Yes, but for only 10,000 years. During his time in the tree, he learned he cannot destroy light anymore then I can destroy darkness. One can’t exist without the other. He’ll use that to his advantage. He’s behind it all, Zula, he linked his life and bending at the giant swamp tree, should he die or lose his bending, both trees will explode. The attack at the earth kingdom during Sozin’s comet was a set up! It was bait and I took it! He used my compassion for all life against me and now a dark avatar is about to be born!”

Aang clutched his fists with fury, Azula placed her hand on her shoulder and he was calming down, she empathized with him about what it’s like to be played by Ozaatu.

Aang: “Anyways, after he got all elements, he faced the last lion turtle, they fought and Vaatu actually slayed the lion turtle by using a energybending technique to absorb its soul. He now has the powers and knowledge of a lion turtle. After, Raava dies, the elemental spirits all benders draw power from will die too but he’ll take their powers next. He’ll bend the energy from within himself and inside Raava and make so Vaatu will draw power from light instead of being weakened like before, while Raava will be weakened by her own power as if was darkness.”

Azula: “And so after 10,000 years. This ‘dark avatar’ will be both light and dark avatar?”

Aang: “He says he’ll be the one true avatar and will create his own avatar cycle after his physical body finally dies. An avatar spirit of balance itself.”

Azula: “Gotta say, It’s a rather creative plan that seems almost agreeable. No wonder he got many people to join the red lotus and follow him, despite the fact they are all about to die.”

Aang: “What I can’t agree with is killing all life in existence for 10,000 years, even if it is to restore balance. There must be a way to end the raava and vaatu conflict for good without sacrificing human lives.”

Azula: “You got any ideas right now?”

Aang: “No.”

Azula: “Well, I’ve seen you pull off victory from the jaws of defeat.”

[a submission from @elenaangelgilbert]

(warning, answers contain a lot of words)

First of all, Hello! I hope you're well!

Quinn: Hi! Yes, I'm doing great! The neck pain's finally gone, thank god.

I want to tell you that I love your story! The way you write is amazing! I hope you continue writing stories and that you continue writing Elena Gilbert as Angel. I'm in love with your story and I'm missing two chapters. I can't wait for you to update. Will there be spicy scenes between Elena and Elijah?

Quinn: Thank you so much for all of your love <33 adlvjasvdjksjkj thank you so so much 😭💖 yup, the updates are incoming. They are a bit slow since I'm currently having some motivation to write but I'm still pushing through since I've had the outline prepared for months.

Quinn: The series is a two-part story. The first part will mostly be angst and pining for Elejah. You can expect some spicy scenes for Elejah (and Klaroline) since the second part will be more mature and have higher stakes.

There aren't many stories where Elena is an Angel. I love that she is the most powerful character on the entire planet and she is. You will wonder…. Why do I say that she is the most powerful? I will tell you now.

In the Vampire Diaries books, Elena Gilbert is a Nephilim, although in the books they call her, Guardians and the guardians (Elena) have powers and are powerful. Being Elena the most powerful character in the books.

Elena's powers are: Super Senses, Telekinesis, Telepathy, Empathy, Pyrokinesis, Geokinesis, Time Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, Elemental Manipulation, Wing Power, Holy Blood, Healing Tears, magic (In the books, magic is hereditary and non-hereditary), Cosmic Awareness, Enhanced Condition, Flight, and Elena has many wings. Elena has wings of wind, wings of protection, wings of purification, wings of remembrance, wings of redemption, wings of destruction, and wings of power. Elena's mission is to fight and destroy all evil on Earth, including destroying the bad influences and supernatural beings that are poisoning the Earth.

Quinn: Ooh, I read this! I went to the book wiki and read all about Elena's powers and everything. I cut out the number of wings that she had because it would make the story too complicated. The rest were integrated within her shapeshifter persona. Her angel persona only has wings, an empathy link with Bonnie, and strength that is superior to the Originals themselves (that is if she gains control over her powers).

Quinn: I didn't know the Nephilim part though, that's interesting, very much Elena-like since her name translates to 'light' in Greek.

I'm not going to lie to you in a book, the celestial court cuts all her wings, because they (The celestial court) were scared by the tremendous powers that Elena showed when she wanted to destroy the celestial court. In the later books, a boy named Andres Montez helped Elena unlock her Earth Guardian powers, but she was sent back in time and left as a human. Yes, the books are confusing. I think Elena's character was not given the treatment she deserved.

Quinn: The books sound interesting, I didn't know this. I should probably obtain a PDF or something since the rates of physical copies are absolutely nuts these days.

My opinion of TVDU:

The truth is that I stopped watching the series (TVD) because I didn't like how they put Elena. Don't get me wrong, I love both Elenas (Book and Series), but in the series they cast her as a damsel in distress, the writers made a lot of fans hate Elena. They gave more importance to characters that are not even in the books or exist. I didn't see the originals and I saw a little bit of legacies.

Quinn: I have given endless rants about how the show has utterly ruined Elena's character and somehow given importance to the Salvabores, who have literally nothing but vampirism as a power. Elena's the fricking Petrova doppelganger. Where's the chaos magic? Where is the blood magic? The necromancy? The siren lineage? The potential for her character is endless just like so many others, but the writers chose to focus on those who have almost zero potential and cause mass carnage in the show's universe. The Originals is better, there's zero focus on the teen drama, it's more adult in terms of violence and everything. The first season of Legacies is pretty damn good. The rest are entirely confusing.

I've always thought that TVDU writers have favorites, Before Hope was created, I thought the favorites were: Klaus, Bonnie, Caroline, and the rest of the Mikaelson family (except Finn).

The truth is that I don't like the character of Hope, so much favoritism makes you not like the character. So many powers they give him make no sense. I have always thought that they were inspired by Elena to create Hope. They have some things in common. Now Gods have appeared in legacies, but I think they are weakening the gods so they can beat them. Although Hope and Lizzie already had a fight with him and what they are looking for is that with the previous fight God trusts himself and if you trust you lose.

Quinn: Klaus has always been a favorite of the writers for extremely valid reasons. He's some of the most complex and layered characters we've ever encountered in the history of television. He has tons of potential and it's clearly seen. If I were a writer on the show, I'd definitely focus on Klaus because the dude has the potential to evolve in both good and bad ways and keep the audience in his choke-hold. Same for the Mikaelson-family. All of them are extremely layered.

Quinn: From the entire family, Klaus, Elijah, Freya, Rebekah, and Kol certainly deserve all the writers' love because each of them is vastly different from the others. Klaus and Elijah's strengths are on focus, Rebekah and Kol are more personality-oriented and Freya is a mix of both strength and personality and I absolutely love it.

Quinn: Finn did get to come back as the villain which suited him much better than playing the hero. If I were a writer on the show, I'd definitely take advantage of the Mikaelsons and utilize them to create several storylines from their astoundingly long existence.

Quinn: The same for Bonnie. She's the descendant of some of the most powerful magical bloodlines and is the only competition to the Petrova and Mikaelson bloodline (I don't count Silas and the Salvatore line since they are clearly and quite literally out of the question). The writers did her wrong because of racist intentions and it's fucking disgusting.

Quinn: I don't understand why Caroline is given a lot more focus than most of the characters. Don't get me wrong, I love how the character evolved from insecurity to headstrong, but Caroline doesn't have any magical background nor any mystical powers. She's only a vampire, that's it. At best, she's sidekick potential or law enforcement potential, like her mother. Compared to the other characters (except Matt), who have pretty strong connections to the supernatural, I don't get why Caroline, the one with zero magical connections, is given a truckload of importance than Bonnie fricking Bennett.

The favorite is Hope.

Quinn: Very clear indeed.

The truth is that I don't like the character of Hope, so much favoritism makes you not like the character. So many powers they give him make no sense. I have always thought that they were inspired by Elena to create Hope. They have some things in common.

Quinn: When writers create or write characters that are immensely powerful by strength, you need to give them a flaw. At best, a psychological flaw (or flaws) is the most feasible option on the table. And it just doesn't have to be some minor phobia, it has to be something big. Is the character afraid of using their powers because they hurt someone in the past? Or they're prophesied to destroy the world? Family problems? Parent issues? Sibling rivalry? Zero control? Addiction? Insecurity? Rage? Give us something that causes pain greater than physical pain. That's the only way even the most powerful character in the world will actually be a character and not a fricking Mary Sue.

Quinn: Regardless of the powers, all the Legacies characters are an extension of the previous generation.

Quinn: Hope is Elena, Lizzie is Caroline, Josie is Bonnie, Kaleb is Damon, Jed is Tyler, Landon is Stefan, Penelope is Rebekah, Rafael and Ethan are Matt, No-Humanity Hope is Katherine / Klaus, Emma (the teacher) is Jenna, Dorian is a manifestation of Alaric and Alaric is Alaric. The Necromancer is Kai. Malivore is a mix of all the villains that have been on the show. It literally represents the fricking antagonist every story has. The only new character that is actually her own persona is Cleo Sowande. The only difference between the previous generation and the legacies is that there's more LGBTQIA+ representation, mental illness representation (Lizzie), comedy, and a moral that the legacies of the previous generation learn from their mistakes and become better.

Quinn: The thing with Hope is that her only flaw seems to be her parents, more specifically, Klaus. And it isn't even internally manifested, it's an external manifestation hammered upon her. Everyone thinks that the second she goes full Tribrid, she'll become like Klaus, even worse than him with the amount of power she has. Alaric has told her all about it, he's constantly berated her about that. This leads her to feel bad about herself and doubt herself internally. All that insecurity and grief about losing her parents because of her just burst forth and forced her to switch off her humanity. At that moment, Hope felt like an extremely authentic character and not the perfect Mikaelson princess we've been seeing for so long.

Quinn: For Legacies, I have an agree-to-disagree opinion. I've never really liked Legacies THAT MUCH, not a hardcore fan of the show. Love the characters, though. TVDU should've stopped at the Originals. Creating Legacies transparently shows how the writers are actually running out of ideas. The only thing I liked about Legacies is how they introduced creatures like dryads and dragons. That was extremely cool.

Quinn: The Mikaelsons could've easily defeated the Hollow by bringing in the characters from TVD. The Hollow could've been given the Cure from Elena and Damon's blood and just been killed off, that's it. The Mikaelsons would have dinner and all and that, I feel, would've been the perfect ending because they'd just look into the horizon and be like 'Yeah, we're going to be better people now and we're going to always value our family'. Klaus tucks Hope in bed, and Elijah departs to pay a visit to Hayley's funeral site. Klaus simply looks at the bustling street below him through the balcony of the Abattoir. He has his phone in his hands. His fingers hover above Caroline's contact. He calls her and brings the phone to his ears and, at hearing her voice, smiles softly. The next thing we see is him talking to Caroline on the phone (his voice isn't heard, just dramatic hand gestures) as the camera backs away facing his back and the screen fades to black. The end.

Now Gods have appeared in legacies, but I think they are weakening the gods so they can beat them. Although Hope and Lizzie already had a fight with him and what they are looking for is that with the previous fight God trusts himself and if you trust you lose.

Quinn: I know Legacies has this god business now and it's coming to an end in a couple of days. I just hope the writers end it well because the end of Legacies means an official goodbye to the Vampire Diaries Universe and, as someone who's been a hardcore fan, I'd very much like it if the writers don't fuck up the goodbye.

Thank you for your submission! Have a wonderful day/night ahead of you <33

volleyball players!golcha + a supernatural twist

so casey (@thepixelelf) came up with this brilliant idea (original blurbs here - read them they’re so fun + will help you understand what’s going on in this post) but essentially this is golcha as a volleyball team EXCEPT they all have superpowers

and no this isn’t some saving the world type shit everyone at the school just happens to have some superpower so they’re just trying to navigate the hell that is high school while dealing with powers so CHAOS

anyway please enjoy these brief blurbs and reblog if you did, and again do not forget to check out the original post here because why not it’s FUN

pairing: golden child x gender neutral!reader

wc: 11.7k (total)

genre: fluff, a bit of angst in some parts, volleyball!au, superpowers!au

triggers: cursing

Volleyball!au Masterlist (casey + lina) | Golden Child Masterlist

daeyeol - golden tongue

daeyeol has a golden tongue which basically means he can be very, very persuasive with his spoken words when he wants to

like casey said it comes in handy when he’s arguing with the basketball team for gym time but in 99% of other situations daeyeol tends to... be very awkward and stilted in a way that isn’t characteristic of those with a golden tongue

the boys sometimes tease him about it because a tongue-tied golden tongue? that’s not supposed to exist

but he’s just afraid of accidentally manipulating people even though he really does have a pretty good grasp on his power :/ like sungyoon will try to remind him that but daeyeol’s still wary

on the court though he literally just exudes confidence. like daeyeol is GOOD at volleyball and he knows it

even if his teammates clown him they listen to him when he’s running drills/coaching because daeyeol knows his shit. he’s been playing volleyball for years at this point AND has an older brother who played as well he knows what he’s doing

he’s been playing the longest of all of golcha and it shows in games! he’s one of the best players if not the best

really the other boys do look up to him even if they show it in a roundabout way

(daeyeol complains about the lack of respect all the time but tbh he doesn’t really help his case when he’s soft for every single one of the boys)

side note: he has a bit of a special bond with bomin :) as in bomin clowns the everloving fuck out of him but he also always goes to daeyeol if he’s not feeling good and daeyeol is always there to listen it’s super sweet

(more on that in bomin’s part :D)

does interviews with the school newspaper after games and he’s just so different from normal because volleyball is one of the things besides academics and stuff that he’s confident in

as a side note he got voted most boyfriend material in one of the school newspaper polls because he looks perfect and is the sweetest (have you seen how he gets so soft with the boys in every video online? don’t argue with me) and it made its way into the yearbook

older brother and alumnus sungyeol clowns him every other day for it

daeyeol gets revenge by reenacting sungyeol’s worst volleyball fails and sending them to his friends

has a whole folder on his phone of reenactments at this point

anyway like i said daeyeol is a little awkward in everyday situations so enter you: confrontational + rash with a sharper tongue than is probably necessary and an affinity for changing temperatures

well. more like you can ratchet the temperature up at will. bringing it down is much harder

it’s useful when it’s winter and everyone’s freezing but the temperature also likes to creep higher when you get pissed off which is sometimes not nice when it’s like negative degrees outside and inside it’s like 100

the only way to cool the room when the second thing happens is to calm you the fuck down! or turn on the air conditioner

and the first is easier said than done

it’s not like it’s only unpleasant for other people though bc you’re not immune to the heat and also because you’re the one like. producing the heat?? your skin gets boiling hot to the touch if you’re upset enough and several times people have gotten fucking burns by touching your arm to try and calm you down

usually it’s fine bc you have a good grasp on your power when you’re calm but if someone says something offensive/stupid.... god help them

anyway even though daeyeol doesn’t like to use his power much he’s still one of the people that others go to when situations need defusing because they (mostly) respect him as an older and more mature person (i say mostly because the amount of disrespect he gets from his volleyball team on the daily... yeah let’s just trend #prayfordaeyeol)

and that’s how you meet! you’re yelling at someone for saying something fucking stupid and daeyeol walks in right when you’re threatening to hit said person if they don't shut up rn

daeyeol manages to calm the situation but not before everyone stupid enough to still be in the room is sweating buckets including him

this just... continues

like daeyeol becomes the go to for situations involving you specifically bc you respond better to him for some reason 

and you get to know each other just from daeyeol walking in on you threatening to throw someone out of the window and saying no! nope :) no you’re not throwing anyone out of any window :) come on y/n let’s go :) while subtly dragging you out of the room

the thing is he listens to you. he actually listens to why you got pissed instead of just telling you to control your anger. like he does emphasize the fact that you need to control yourself because what if this happens around people without powers? but he listens and that helps more than anything really and you actually start getting better at controlling yourself 

and somewhere along the way things just click between you two and you become friends. you like him bc he’s v kind if awkward and he’s the only person who’s never tried to calm you using golden tongue manipulation and he likes you bc you’re so outspoken and bold

then one day you get genuinely so upset about something someone said and daeyeol doesn’t care about your blistering hot skin he doesn’t care if you’re raising the temperature in the room he doesn’t even care if he gets burnt he just kisses you on the forehead softly and holds you close even as you’re overheating

which just drains the fight out of you and you kind of collapse on him and stay like that for a while

he then takes you out for cold drinks (because you’re still overheating a little) and kisses you over an iced americano and boom relationship

the other boys find you very fun to be around and marvel over your relationship bc you’re confident and loud meanwhile daeyeol is a bumbling mess when he isn’t using his power or he isn’t on the court

but it works ok it just does. don’t question it

(jangjun does once and even with his super strength he ended up lying on the court bc the element of surprise is the only thing that can really get him)

(and lucky for you you know exactly how to take advantage of that <3)

(daeyeol just thinks it’s hot + impressive and kisses you right after)

(bomin + 99 line gag but you threaten to give them the same treatment and they shut up)

sungyoon - telekinesis

so as casey said sungyoon comes from a long line of telekinetics except he’s not entirely sure why he’s even at this school because... he has never shown any manifestations of this power

not to his knowledge at least

i say this bc people have seen stuff twitch when sungyoon’s around, he just never notices and thus concludes that either people are fucking around with him and it never happened or it was just a coincidence

anyway he doesn’t really care much, like sure he sometimes gets insecure/unsure of himself in a school full of kids with superpowers

but like i said this school is just a safe haven for those born with powers, they’re not training or anything they just learn to control what they have

and since sungyoon doesn’t have much to control he’s doing fine as far as everyone is really concerned

it’s also kind of nice being the only normal one on the volleyball team like everyone else has wack-ass powers that fuck shit up but sungyoon is like the calm in the middle of the storm like hi yes i am also part of this team of idiots but at least i don’t break equipment or injure people inadvertently

for this reason some people think sungyoon is the only sane person on the team 

they are wrong

sungyoon can and will go batshit insane at the first opportunity

he is also a massive tease and if anyone asks him to do anything he’ll make it a back and forth for like 5 minutes before deciding whether or not to actually do it

bomin: sungyoon can you help me get the mats

sungyoon: why

bomin: p l e a s e

repeat for at least five minutes and you now have a regular day to day conversation with sungyoon

but sungyoon really is passionate about volleyball okay, like he loves the sport so much

he used to get worked up about it so much that he’d over-practice and actually play worse :/

got over that with joochan/daeyeol’s help (he and daeyeol weren’t on good terms for a week or two though) and now they’re one happy dysfunctional family :)

if you bring up that time in sungyoon’s life you will be subjected to his death glare so maybe just... don’t

like even jangjun doesn’t talk about it and that’s saying something

anyway moving on 

in terms of powers you’re the opposite of sungyoon. aka you have wack-ass telekinesis and you have no idea how to control it

which?? somehow sungyoon comes in handy with this

because despite not really having powers himself, he watched his sister learn to control her abilities and also listened in on his parents’ advice to her because most of the time controlling powers really just amounts to controlling emotions

aka why sungyoon is (for the most part) so calm and mature

when he’s not purposely being a little shit to golcha of course

but you and sungyoon are kinda... at a loss bc it’s not like you go absolutely off the walls batshit insane?? like you’re a relatively calm person and even though the powers do manifest when you’re feeling a strong emotional upsurge

other than that they’re just... seemingly random???

regardless of that sungyoon makes you start on breathing exercises n shit and you would honestly probably complain if you weren’t sick of your powers manifesting every five fucking seconds. like at this point you’ll try anything

cue long sessions after school in the gym of sungyoon practicing spikes while you sit in the corner controlling your breath to the beat of balls bouncing on the floor

sometimes a few of the other team members join in but more often than not it’s just you and sungyoon

as time passes, in between cleaning scuff marks off the floor and picking up balls that just have flown everywhere, you and sungyoon get closer

and somehow... you don’t know exactly what happened but your powers aren’t so out of wack anymore

sungyoon can’t completely explain it either but like? neither of you is going to complain

you kind of think it might have something to do with how sungyoon is just a calming presence. like when you talk with him and stuff you’re less likely to inadvertently make something move or whatever

it’s not just with sungyoon too - it kind of seems like if you’re focusing intently on something, then the mini episodes don’t happen

sungyoon hypothesizes you might be a little like youngtaek as in you need something to concentrate on because if you zone out shit happens

you maybe zone out less than he does but maybe it’s a more subtle thing with you than with him who knows

anyway

one day you two go to get coffee after leaving the gym together and sungyoon looks weirdly nervous and you ask if something’s up while praying you don’t send all the sugar packets flying everywhere 

and then when you leave with your coffee he asks you out

like really. he asks you out. you can’t believe it

so the lid flies off your coffee cup and liquid splashes everywhere

now you have burns all over your hands from hot coffee and sungyoon is freaking the fuck out and luckily donghyun was just leaving school so he gets called over to take care of your burns

anyway after that sungyoon is still a flustered mess and you’re trying to tell him you’re fine, look all the redness is gone and also yeah sorry about that i’d love to go on a date with you

CUE SUNGYOON’S COFFEE CUP FLYING OUT OF HIS HANDS AND SPLATTERING ALL OVER THE GROUND

you swear it wasn’t you and sungyoon KNOWS he didn’t just drop it so the only conclusion left is that sungyoon did it

oh my god he actually has telekinesis!

(the rest of golcha: yeah let’s just pretend we HAVEN’T been saying this for literal years)

anyway let’s just say that between sungyoon confessing + figuring out he actually has telekinesis powers it was a very eventful day

golcha loves you but is also wary of whenever you’re around bc sungyoon tends to get v nervous and maybe the net starts lifting out of the ground if you surprise him with a kiss

but it’s fine! you’ve learned all of the techniques sungyoon taught you, now it’s just time for him to get a taste of that too :)

and sungyoon would probably bitch and moan if it was with any other person but it’s more time to spend with you so is he really gonna complain? 

no <3

jangjun - super strength

ah yes. resident ‘i’m doing my best to control my powers but sometimes i get too excited and whoops now there’s a hole in the gym floor’

once again credits to casey for that idea (she actually wrote a drabble for it which you can find here)

he’s gotten better at controlling his powers but uh sometimes excitement gets the better of him all right

look he’s trying!! ok!! he really is

especially when it comes to volleyball - he’s really serious, does his absolute best not to cause any damage to the gym because one time he cracked the wood floors and let’s just say admin was not happy

worst day of jangjun’s life trying to explain that shit to the principal

so yeah he’s doing a lot better now with controlling his power

but at the same time let’s not ignore half the reason why there are far fewer accidents than before - you

you and jangjun meet like halfway through your first year of school during gym class when jangjun hits a ball a little (a lot) too hard and it ends up knocking you the fuck out

a healed concussion + a million apologies later, you and jangjun are laughing your heads off in the clinic with the nurse screwing her eyes up in confusion like?? this boy just smashed a volleyball into your head and now you’re laughing with him wtf

but jangjun’s so funny and friendly that it’s hard not to become his friend so after that you two are essentially inseparable

so when jangjun decides to play for the volleyball team you sign up to be team manager

(you also help him practice and do you best to keep his power in check)

which works out! because you’re responsible and organized but most importantly you have power over air

and given enough warning (which, as you gain more experience, doesn’t have to be a lot), you can manipulate the air to stop some of jangjun’s more aggressive serves from hitting the ground too fast and causing major damage to the newly-renovated floors

daeyeol + the coach thank every higher being for your existence at each practice

youngtaek + joochan started a cult in your name after you saved both of them from one of jangjun’s spikes hitting them in the head

yeah let’s just say golcha is v thankful jangjun gave you that concussion back in first year

ANYWAY

one day you’re picking up some volleyballs that are lying around while the boys play a practice match in the middle of the gym

and because your back is to the fucking court. you don’t get any warning except a few sharp screams before a ball just motherfucking smashes against the back of your head and knocks you the fuck out for the second time in your life

you come to on the ground with donghyun passing his hands over your throbbing head

and the first thing you do when the pain is gone is look up and ask where jangjun is

half the team has disappeared from the gym but donghyun tells you he had a major mental breakdown when he saw you unconscious on the floor and just ran out. the others are already trying to find him but you don’t care you just run out to try and find wherever the fuck your best friend is

you find him crouched in the corner of a stairwell with his head in his hands and you’re like jangjun what’s wrong oh my god are you okay?

and he just looks up like oh my god you’re okay. you’re okay right?

you nod like yeah?? donghyun worked his magic of course i’m fine now but what’s up with you? were you crying?

he just clams up then which obviously confirms your suspicions and you’re like dude... why were you crying. i’m really fine

and then he explodes like - i fucking hate my power sometimes i hate that i can’t control it i hate that i accidentally break people or hurt people when i don’t mean to and it’s even worse when it’s people I care about like fuck y/n why can’t i just have a power that doesn’t cause all this stupid shit - 

so you just lash out with a gust of wind and shake the railing on the stairwell

jangjun’s like why did you do that

and you say every power has a destructive side. i can hurt people on accident. if i got really riled up i could slam someone against a wall and knock them out the same way you did with me. it’s happened before

jangjun flinches but you just step closer like jangjun. you’re doing fine. your power is cool as fuck. i admire the control you have over it and no don’t argue, i’ve watched you over the past few years and do you know how much you’ve improved?

it ends up with you hugging jangjun and despite all his muscle he just collapses like a rag doll in your arms and on impulse you kiss his forehead like it’s ok, i’m fine, you’re fine. we’re all fine

and that little impulse kiss changes everything. even though neither of you really says anything explicit at first, something shifts between you and even though jangjun was touchy before, now you hold hands between classes and hug before practice and golcha is just like... /eyes emoji/

jangjun brings it up one weekend when you two are trying (key word: trying) to study and you just kind of shrug and ask what do you really want to be? labels or nah? bc honestly you’re happy as long as he’s around

which makes jangjun’s heart flutter and maybe the pen in his hand explodes all over his notes (not like they were legible anyway, you just promise to lend him yours) and voila! you’re dating

it’s super cute but also super loud

like jangjun will yell across the court like HEY WATCH ME ROLL AROUND ON THIS VOLLEYBALL Y/N (or whatever the fuck he was doing in the breathe mv behind) and you yell back like FUCK IT U P JANGJUN!!! 

coach maybe praises your existence a little less now but daeyeol just reminds him that you’ve saved every member on this team + him at least once by now and the cult revives

as your bf jangjun strong-arms (literally) youngtaek/joochan out of the way as the head of the cult now

you two are very supportive and very loud in your support

you’re essentially each other’s professional hype-people and like to celebrate with kisses while everyone else gags

it’s disgustingly cute

someone always yells something about pda and then jangjun just kisses you harder

cue the boys screaming and you laughing and an unamused (he’s amused he’s just trying not to show it) daeyeol

coach is the only one who’s really unamused but at some point he just gives up because jangstar does what he wants as long as you’re fine with it

/shrugging emoji/

youngtaek - pyrokinesis

youngtaek has power over fire but it’s not really so much that he can control fire and more like he just... zones out and oops his notes are burning

it’s usually best to keep him and daeyeol’s s/o in separate rooms because fire + ratcheting up the temperature does not equal a good time

like casey said when he’s focused it’s all cool and he has a decent measure of control over his power but when his eyes go dazed and he’s staring into the distance then you better pray the room has a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby

it isn’t usually a problem because this is a school for kids with powers and youngtaek isn’t the only pyrokinetic here but it is a hassle when sometimes youngtaek zones out on the court and hits the ball and suddenly jangjun’s screaming because he got hit by a volleyball on fire and now his uniform is on fire and everything is on fire

oops

but anyway with anything that isn’t a) volleyball or b) music youngtaek has less than half the attention span of a goldfish which means he may or may not be lagging behind in several classes

and it isn’t enough for him to be in danger of failing just yet but his teachers are like youngtaek i think you might need a tutor if you want to do more than just pass the final

he also needs better grades if he wants to keep playing volleyball so he decides to find a tutor

so he asks daeyeol about it bc despite his dyslexia daeyeol is a pretty good student but he’s busy as an upperclassman and all so he refers youngtaek to you!

you have the power to memorize anything you put your mind to. like if you really wanted to you could memorize an entire map of the city or its skyline but you just don't care enough to do that

only things you care about are school + your hobbies + your friends/family

anyway you meet up with youngtaek and from the start it’s kind of a mess because he zones out in the middle of you teaching him math and somehow sets the table on fire

after that you make sure to keep a bottle of water nearby (it comes in handy several times)

but despite the slightly disastrous first meeting you take a liking to youngtaek because beyond everything he’s genuine and honest and just a really good person regardless of the fact that he’s a little fire-happy

so tutoring sessions start ending with walking each other to the bus stop or getting a drink together or whatever and it’s really nice and sweet, youngtaek’s happy to be doing better in his classes bc you’re so patient and a really good teacher 

and one day he blurts out that when he heard about your power he wasn’t sure you’d be a good teacher because everything seems to come easily to you

then he covers his mouth because holy hell he wasn’t supposed to say that youngtaek come ON

you calmly put out the little fire on the side of the desk before telling him it’s fine, you get that a lot but really being able to memorize things isn’t as helpful as people seem to think

like sure you can memorize the fact that 2+2=4 but if you don’t understand addition as a concept then you won’t be able to do 5+5=10 or something like that

and you can’t exactly just memorize concepts. so with memorization comes a lot of hard work in trying to understand it all

and from this little conversation youngtaek comes out with so much more respect for you?? like god damn he now sees just how hard you work for everything you care about and youngtaek likes that. he likes it a lot

so yeah both of you have budding feelings at this point but because i'm the author i get to say you’re idiots in love so you don’t say shit

until after finals you and youngtaek go to a party daeyeol’s hosting and you both get tipsy-drunk-ish and by the end of the night youngtaek’s face is buried in your shoulder and before he passes out fully he mumbles that he likes you so much it doesn’t make sense

and you’re drunk too so all you do is kiss his forehead and fall asleep

unluckily for you a mostly sober kim donghyun got a video of all that so when you both wake up a couple hours later it’s to several still-awake members of the volleyball team + your friends all up in your faces like oh my god they’re in LOVE

youngtaek wakes up with all the noise and just blinks sleepily and you kinda pat his head and tell him to go back to sleep while giving everyone else death glares like SHUT THE FUCK UP SO HE CAN SLEEP

but you don’t know about the video >:)

so one of the sober boys ends up bringing you two home and when you wake up the next morning donghyun has added you both to a group chat and sent the video there

you scream into your pillow

youngtaek screams into his pillow

and you both proceed to do absolutely nothing about it until joochan locks the two of you in one of the music rooms and slides a copy of the song youngtaek wrote about you under the door 

you get to the paper before youngtaek can burn it and it’s messy it’s awkward it’s hilarious but you two end up together by the end of the day so it worked... kinda?

your presence helps youngtaek a lot by giving him something more to focus on throughout the day and subsequently not set everything on fire

though mind reader bomin complains because he used to zero in on youngtaek’s mind when things got too much since quote unquote ‘there’s not much going on up there’ (credits to casey + fact in star) but now if youngtaek’s brain isn’t playing the music from the mii channel it’s thinking about you which isn’t ideal

youngtaek may or may not have attacked bomin after that

you may or may not have had to pull him away when bomin’s shirt started smoking

but it’s cool the smoking goes away when you kiss his forehead and youngtaek just beams like the entire sun

seungmin - foresight

like casey said seungmin has foresight and it’s anything but useful

he’ll either get glimpses of dumb unimportant shit like haha the day’s lunch includes rice or visions of stuff he can’t avoid like hey youngtaek’s going to trip on air oh oops he just did aaand now his shirt is on fire

honestly if he was going to have foresight he could at least like?? predict stocks or some shit?? why the fuck does it MATTER if youngtaek’s about to fall if seungmin can’t even help him

not like he’d help even if he could because seungmin isn’t an angel and youngtaek falling is funny but still it’s the principle of the goddamn matter

sometimes he gets glimpses of whether or not golcha will win their volleyball matches but like casey said he doesn’t say anything because he doesn’t want to ruin the team spirit before the game’s even over

plus who said the future was fixed in stone? like none of seungmin’s momentary glimpses have been wrong yet but there’s always a chance... right?

seungmin isn’t going to discount that possibility yet at least

but he didn’t always think that way - you’re actually the one who opened him up to that point of view

you’re an ordinary person with no powers or anything but you work part-time at the juice bar across the street from his school and sometimes golcha will go there after practice to get something to drink

and you have a special soft spot for seungmin because he’s the first of the group who started frequenting the shop

and on that first ever visit he helped catch you when you slipped bringing a tray of drinks to a few people sitting in the corner

even though you both ended up on the floor covered in juice he still managed to break your fall enough that none of the glasses broke and while giving him his drink you kind of joked that it was like he knew what was going to happen before it did

which... is not exactly false

seungmin was waiting for his drink when he got a little glimpse of you falling and him helping catch you but then it all happened before he could even process the vision so like yeah he did see it but not soon enough to prevent anything

like usual

anyway you promise seungmin a free drink the next time he comes in when you’re on shift and so he does come in though he insists you don’t have to give him his drink for free

you just say well buy me a drink then. two for one

(listen he’s cute and he broke your fall and he seems polite. who’s gonna sue you for being a little flirty)

and so a beautiful relationship is born :)

seungmin really likes you a lot like so much?? he used to laugh at youngtaek for being so whipped for his partner but now he thinks he kind of understands it

the one thing to worry about is the fact that you don’t have powers and he does but it’s not that big of an issue really. like foresight is one of the abilities that doesn’t really manifest itself physically beyond maybe having a bit of reaction time? but considering his foresight is literally useless even that’s debatable

well actually there’s another thing to worry about: the boys finding out he has an s/o and teasing him to high hell

which they do while also demanding free drinks as seungmin’s friends

on days when you’re feeling nice you’ll do it but money always appears in the tip jar that pays for the free drinks

(it’s daeyeol. he feels bad)

anyway you don’t know about the foresight/powers thing until daeyeol calls you one night to pick seungmin up from a party one night and on the way home he stops you from almost getting run into by a speeding car

WHILE TIPSY/DRUNK

once you’ve recovered you ask him how he reacted so fast and he just kind of tipsily smiles and says ‘i saw it was going to happen’

you don’t ask him anything then because he’s drunk and sleepy so you just drive him home but the entire time you’re thinking about all the little things that have just... seemed questionable during the time you’ve known seungmin

and it’s weird as fuck but at the same time you can’t figure out any other explanation? because once is normal, twice could be a coincidence, but upwards of ten incidents is not right

it feels like you’re bella confronting edward about being a stupid vampire (no i never read twilight and i'm not sorry about it) but a couple of weeks later you ask him

he doesn’t actually remember the drive back home that night because he was kind of too wasted but he definitely does remember the other incidents including when you two met skdjghs

he spills after a few minutes of awkward silence and begs you not to tell which of course you promise to because why the fuck would you not? if the truth got leaked that would be disastrous and it’s not like you’re scared or anything, seungmin’s (mostly) harmless even if some of the other abilities like youngtaek + fire or jangjun + strength give you pause

but you get to talking about his power of foresight and seungmin kind of shrugs at one point while saying that he doesn’t know why he gets glimpses, it’s all inevitable anyway so what’s the point

and you just say maybe it isn’t that way. maybe he’s seeing one future possibility, maybe even the most likely one, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only one set in stone right?

seungmin loves you a lot for that. like so much. it’s a new perspective and it gives him more hope than he used to have and you just KNOW the conversation ends in kisses and cuddles

because while he’s not going to actively try and prevent what’s about to happen if it’s bad (like he can’t exactly influence the outcome of a volleyball match beyond just doing his best - plus, his foresight doesn’t give him enough time to really react to most things), it gives him some hope that even if his foresight says something will turn out bad, there’s a chance it might turn out well :)

anyway seungmin pocket boy you two fit right into each other when you hug which results in the other boys cooing but seungmin’s strong even if he’s small so they get a few new bruises that donghyun just refuses to heal

we love evil donghyun

you also go to their volleyball matches and seungmin trusts you enough to tell you what glimpses he got of the game but you always remind him the future may not be set in stone and regardless of what he sees you always cheer him on just as loudly

all the boys come piling into the juice bar after games and you smile and give seungmin a free drink while everyone else has to pay

they decry favoritism but you just shrug and kiss seungmin over the counter while they scream

dramatic assholes

jaehyun - gravity manipulation

so like casey said jaehyun can manipulate the gravity of objects, either send them floating up in the air or slamming down on the round

which sucks if the object in question is a volleyball and it comes pounding down on his toes when he isn’t paying attention

this happened at the first ever volleyball practice he attended and the boys (read: jibeom) have yet to let it fucking go

his husky voice doesn’t help because when he complains jibeom the boys just imitate his voice which derails the entire practice and now coach + daeyeol + team manager who’s jangjun’s s/o are all lying facedown on the ground like when will this madness end

never. the answer is never

but it’s ok jaehyun gets his revenge when they’re all practicing and he sends jibeom’s ball flying up into the air and refuses to let it come down and when he does the ball drops right on jibeom’s head and whoops look who’s got a concussion hey donghyun can you fix this

jaehyun is also one of the few occasional lifesavers (literally) besides team manager + donghyun because given enough warning, he can manipulate the gravity on one of jangjun’s maybe too strong serves and make it come down more softly than it would’ve otherwise

the problem is he isn’t super adept with his power

more experienced students will be able to manipulate gravity very subtly, but jaehyun more or less has three settings - floating, slamming down, and very occasionally something in between

which isn’t exactly ideal but jaehyun’s working on it, it’s fine, he’s not too pressed about it

anyway you’re a student at the school for students with superpowers in the next city over and you play basketball

you don’t know jaehyun but he sure as hell knows you because even though he stopped playing basketball a few years ago to focus on volleyball, he still loves the sport and he happens to think you’re one of the best players he’s ever see

also you’re really cute

jaehyun goes to every single basketball game that’s against your school just to watch you play 

he doesn’t really do much other than watch because a) he’s so focused on your performance that he doesn’t register much else and b) everyone would clown him for cheering your team on skdjgskjg

also jaehyun’s just shy. like really shy you couldn’t catch him approaching you/showing interest towards you unless someone forced it out of him

which is what his lovely friends from 99 line decide to do

they obviously know about his crush like joochan was with him the first time jaehyun went to watch a basketball game against your school so he SAW the heart eyes

he took a picture and sent it to jibeom who sent it to donghyun and now it’s the profile picture for their group chat dedicated to making sure jaehyun asks you out

jaehyun has no knowledge of this group chat because he’s oblivious

anyway one day after a game they’re in the parking lot bc jaehyun’s driving this time and jaehyun is babbling about oh my god y/n was so great this time they’re literally so good at basketball holy shit?? and while he’s talking he doesn’t notice jibeom/joochan/donghyun like. subtly pushing him closer and closer to your team who’s just waiting around the bus you’ll take to get back to your school

and only when you look up does jaehyun realize he’s now close enough for you to have heard literally everything he just said in the past minute or so 

cue the awkward crow noises as you and jaehyun just stare at each other

suddenly the backpack in jaehyun’s hand just drops onto his foot and if it weren’t for the steel-toed sneakers he’s gotten in the habit of wearing then he’d probably have a broken foot

as such he kind of lets out a quiet dying screech (it HURTS) and now jibeom/donghyun/joochan are dying like three feet away meanwhile your friends are screaming into their hands like Y/N IT’S A CUTE BOY YOU LIKE CUTE BOYS TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY YOU IDIOT

and when nothing happens for five seconds beyond jaehyun’s ears turning tomato red joochan steps forward and is like hello my friend here is whipped for you so if you’re comfortable would you please give him your number because he’s been dying for it since like. last year when we saw you play for the first time

jaehyun nearly launches himself at joochan like SHUT UP DUDE but then you’re handing over your phone while looking away because fuck jaehyun’s really cute and you wouldn’t mind getting to know him okay??

(who wouldn’t though that’s the real question)

anyway the two cities aren’t too big so it’s not that hard for you and jaehyun to meet up for coffee at some point (which jaehyun surprisingly gets the courage to initiate - he reasons it as he’s the one who was interested first so he kind of has to be the one to do it but that doesn’t mean he’s screaming throughout the entire text conversation) and after a semi-awkward first interaction you two surprisingly hit it off and after a few weeks you’re dating

you’re the ultimate athletic couple like jaehyun does volleyball and you do basketball and sometimes you play each other in the park or jaehyun starts teaching you how to play volleyball and it’s really cute

over the summer your friend group + golcha goes to the beach to hang out and jaehyun sees firsthand how much you’ve improved at volleyball 

i didn’t mention it earlier but your power is water manipulation which not only comes in handy with putting out youngtaek’s inadvertent flames but also is very useful in splashing your friends + golcha all at once at the beach when no one else is looking

of course everyone just piles on you and sends you flailing into the ocean and maybe you choke on seawater because you’re laughing so hard but jaehyun pulls you out and your first kiss tastes like salty ocean and even with the rest of your friends + golcha screaming it’s perfect 

water manipulation also helps when they dump you both into the ocean and you just kinda make a bubble where it’s deep enough and kiss jaehyun there (yeah pjo the last olympian vibes deal with it)

daeyeol gets worried when you don’t come up and then you surface a second later in his face and he screams it’s glorious

you use your power to strip away your sweat after basketball practice and jaehyun begs you to do it for him too after volleyball practice when you’re there which of course you do because you’re a nice s/o

when he gets a little better at the subtleties of his power jaehyun likes to lift you up using his gravity manipulation and spin you around it’s really cute

you show up to jaehyun’s volleyball games against your school to cheer him on despite the fact that one of your friends is on your school’s volleyball team skdjgshkd (and maybe jaehyun accidentally drops the volleyball HARD on his foot the first time you scream his name)

jaehyun starts doing the same when it comes to your basketball games he is no longer shy about screaming your name from his school’s side of the bleachers :)

his friends call him a traitor but jaehyun doesn’t really care because he’s the one who gets to kiss you after your games so who’s the real winner here?

him obviously

jibeom - invisibility

casey i think this blurb was my favorite, it’s so fucking funny and literally so jibeom

so like casey said jibeom can turn invisible which is really fun for him and a nightmare for everyone else because he’ll just sneak up on people and be like BOO

if you have a weak heart you better stay vigilant

but there are also issues because like casey came up with sometimes jibeom accidentally turns invisible during a fucking game and gets confused as to why no one’s serving to him until one of his teammates or the coach on the sidelines notices he’s gone and is like JIBEOM YOU’RE FUCKING INVISIBLE

it’s fine the school only ever plays sports against other supernatural schools to avoid spreading the secret about superpowers to regular humans so people are used to this kind of shit but it’s embarrassing for jibeom skdjgshjg

he’ll try to put his ability to his advantage by turning invisible when he’s supposed to be running laps/doing drills and hoping daeyeol/coach/team manager don’t notice

at this point though they always do and then it’s another five laps/set of drills for him

big sad

anyway jibeom’s just living his invisible life you know being a little shit with everyone

mocking jaehyun’s voice and turning invisible when jaehyun tries to swipe at him

sneaking up behind his friends and scaring them even if it means he gets decked in the face (that’s one thing he won’t repeat with jangjun. like the dude doesn’t get scared easily but if he gets startled... the super strength is not a blessing for jibeom if he doesn’t move fast enough)

and then you transfer to the school

so you used to go to the school jaehyun’s parter goes to but your family moved or smth so now you’re here and jaehyun’s the only person you even vaguely know so you kinda stick around and become friends

and of course jaehyun introduces you to the rest of golcha

now jibeom is in the gym. invisible okay. waiting for jaehyun to show up so he can do his daily scare-jaehyun-because-i’m-a-little-shit routine

then you walk into the gym with jaehyun and the first thing you fucking say is there are thirteen people in this room (10 golcha members + you + team manager + coach) but i only see twelve so who’s the invisible one walking up right behind jaehyun

jaehyun fucking screams, a whole crate of volleyballs goes tumbling to the floor because gravity manipulation + jaehyun getting scared go hand in hand, everything is in chaos, youngtaek+joochan+jangjun are crying of laughter at jaehyun’s reaction, and jibeom is now standing visible behind jaehyun wide-eyed and surprised because how the fuck did you know

turns out your power is being able to sense/locate invisible things including invisible jibeoms so the rest of golcha + manager + coach think you’re a lifesaver because finally someone can find jibeom whenever he disappears

wrong

like yeah if jibeom has disappeared in the middle of practice you’ll yell and be like KIM JIBEOM GET YOUR ASS OUT AND PRACTICE YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT 

is it a surprise that you and daeyeol’s partner hit it off in less than five seconds

but if jibeom’s disappearing just to be a little shit you’ll purposely point people in the wrong direction like you’ll reassure youngtaek that oh no jibeom’s over there trying to scare seungmin and then jibeom appears right behind youngtaek and now both of you are cackling on the floor and youngtaek is about to set your backpacks on fire

you may have joined the school late but now you are an honorary 99 line member regardless of what year you were actually born in i don’t care they don’t care they’re just happy to have another ball of chaos to join their ranks

coach considers banning you from the gym but daeyeol reminds him that if he wants to ban you he’ll have to ban everyone else who comes in to visit and cause chaos aka his partner and you know daeyeol needs his hugs before practice so that isn’t going to happen

so you get to stay

most of the time it’s fine like you just sit in the bleachers and do homework while occasionally yelling at jibeom or other slackers, it’s only really during breaks that you act up

so anyway even though you’re an honorary 99 line member you spend most of your time with jibeom pulling dumb tricks or being unintentionally funny as fuck

therefore it is only logical that the rest of 99 line starts pushing you two together

fucking meddling brats

they do all the normal stupid shit like announcing outings to malls and ditching you two alone, deciding to go to the movies and ditching you two alone, you see the idea

look they’ve got pea brains they can’t come up with much

but get this: you and jibeom are already dating

yeah. you both started fucking dating a few months after meeting because you were both having a late night study session at your house and your tongues were loose with exhaustion and you may or may not have said some stuff you weren’t planning to

you almost kissed but then you were like it’s almost midnight and we haven’t brushed our teeth so maybe not tonight

it’s fine jibeom got a kiss the next day (the whole day he acted like he wasn’t waiting for it at all and you teased him for that before finally leaning in)

you haven’t kept your relationship secret out of shame or embarrassment or anything you both just kinda want to see how far 99 line + rest of golcha will go to get you two together. plus it’s nice when they buy you movie theater tickets when they just plan to ditch so you don’t have to pay for the date you end up having

it’s really fucking funny the more frustrated they get so you and jibeom don’t let up until daeyeol catches you two kissing just outside the locker room after you thought everyone left (NOTHING FUCKING NASTY OKAY THIS IS A SFW PLACE AND BEYOND THAT - NO ONE HERE IS GOING TO DO A N Y T H I NG OUTSIDE A L O C K E R R O O M)

shit goes down in the volleyball group chat that night but you and jibeom are just sitting together on his couch laughing at everything

99 line definitely holds a grudge

daeyeol won’t shut up about how he needs to clean his eyes out with bleach (as if he doesn’t want to kiss his partner every five seconds jfc)

coach just despairs over the chaos you two bring

but you and jibeom don’t care :) 

side note you know what’d be fun - if you don’t have the slightest fashion sense like jibeom and you two become known for wearing stripes + whatever your favorite design happens to be all the damn time

idk i just think it’d be funny to watch everyone trying to clown you but literally neither of you giving a shit

donghyun - healing

so like casey said donghyun has healing abilities

and first and foremost he would like to say he’s tired of healing the injuries these idiots get every practice

i mean he’s not going to refuse treatment for like a jammed finger or a sprained ankle because that’s normal in volleyball or even burns from youngtaek/joochan because that’s just accidentally losing control which could happen to anyone but like??? falling over because you tried to prank jangjun and he basically backhanded you out of surprise??? that’s on you jibeom

kidding kidding donghyun will heal whatever’s been set on golcha but he WILL complain about it the whole time

that’s his right ok if he has to deal with this bunch of idiots (who also don’t fucking clean up after themselves) he’s going to complain about it with his whole chest

which is not a very broad chest but donghyun can talk a Long time so that more than makes up for it

gets teased by all the other team members but they’re really grateful for him not just because of his healing abilities + affinity for cleaning but also because he really does care for them

and as much as he complains he’ll do as much healing as needed, even if it drains his energy

but there are two major cons of his abilities

1. using his power too much (like all other powers) drains him of energy, so if he heals one too many injuries at a time then he’s in danger of also passing out

it isn’t usually a problem because it’s not like golcha gets injured every five seconds but some practices are more accident prone than others

once joochan fell and broke his leg and donghyun passed out trying to heal it and ended up in the hospital too. not fun

2. he can’t use his power on himself. like if sungyoon fractures his finger donghyun can fix that no big deal but he can’t do the same to himself healing just doesn’t work that way

it is for this reason that each sports team has a designated healer who isn’t a member of the team - of course if the team has a member who is a healer that’s useful, but they need to keep their energy up + they can’t heal themselves which is a problem

anyway the last healer for the volleyball team graduated last year so you come in to take their place

you’re super nice to golcha like you heal their injuries whenever anything happens no matter how stupid it was and they start making jokes about how you’re more helpful than donghyun haha because you don’t complain/nag about everything

and like donghyun knows they’re teasing but at the same time... it kinda hurts

what makes it worse is that you’re nothing but nice to him as well? like it’d be so much easier to dislike you if you were rude

so donghyun just kinda... avoids you and doesn’t say anything about it to anyone. does his absolute best to avoid getting injured so he doesn’t have to be around you any more than necessary

and several times you try to make conversation but he just brushes you away which leaves you confused and makes donghyun feel worse but he really doesn’t know what else to do

then one bad day he jumps up but misses the ball and falls on his leg hard. like really hard and there’s pain shooting up his side but he can’t feel a break or anything so he just gets up and tries to keep playing, like practice ends in five minutes anyway he may as well continue 

but you call out and say to stop practice, donghyun’s hurt 

except donghyun has had a really bad day and this is just the icing on the cake so he may or may not yell at you to go away, he’s fucking fine, and when you keep pressing he just grabs his stuff and leaves

the second he gets home he collapses on the floor and just... stays there because yeah he may not have broken anything but his leg hurts like a bitch and then he starts crying

skips school the next day because he feels like absolute shit (mentally and physically) but 99 line comes to visit and they’re like so. explain what happened yesterday at practice

and donghyun is ready to get defensive but they’re more confused than anything, his outburst wasn’t like him at all and why would he yell at you? you never did anything wrong

that’s when donghyun breaks down and tells them everything about how he’s felt over the past few months with you as the new healer

it ends in a big cuddle session between four idiots and apologies and donghyun promises to apologize to you tomorrow 

which he does. and surprisingly you’re really gracious about it, it makes donghyun feel worse yet again because you’re so genuine and nice and you even offer to heal his leg again because it looks like it still hurts

the teasing decreases and donghyun feels much better, he also stops brushing you off and actually begins hanging out with you a little outside of school/practice

and while working late on a group project for history (your other group mates ditched you two and donghyun is still seething over it) he realizes that this has evolved into a stupid crush

said crush is only compounded when you tell the teacher half of your group did absolutely nothing without donghyun having to say anything

but of course since donghyun 1. is an idiot and 2. pretended to hate you for several long months he doesn’t say anything

until you fucking ask him to the end of the year dance. you ask him to the dance and donghyun thinks joochan has given him electric shock because his brain definitely has to be malfunctioning

after five solid seconds of short-circuiting he nods like an idiot and haha you’re going to the dance together

golcha boys won’t shut the fuck up about how cute it is or whatever 

donghyun blushes red while you just smile serenely and promise not to heal their injuries for the next week so they better avoid getting hurt

yeah donghyun is definitely in love with you

you’re probably a more low-key couple, you enjoy study dates or quiet activities more than like. amusement parks or whatever kind of shit joochan/jangjun subject their partners to

you might kiss in public if the moment feels right but more often than not the only real pda you show is holding hands which makes golcha coo

donghyun would rather hug you sweetly in private without worrying about his teammates trying to ruin the moment anyway

you agree but then proceed to kiss his nose in front of everyone and whoops he’s a blushing mess and golcha (+ the coach) are screaming

sigh

joochan - electricity

ah yes, the ultimate question: which hurts more, electric burns or fire burns?

join the golden child volleyball team and you can experience both firsthand!

jk (not really) but between joochan and youngtaek, golcha kinda has their pick of what kinds of burns to get (other than like. rope burn or burns from sliding on the ground idk)

like casey said it’s v lucky donghyun/his partner are around to heal them because really trying to slap a volleyball with a burnt hand is not fun

most of the time though joochan’s fine, he’s just full of energy and gets staticky when excited and like casey came up with the boys will sometimes dare each other to touch his hair when it’s sticking straight up and get shocked

or if you’re a bitch like jangjun you’ll take someone’s hand and purposely place it there so they get shocked

(jangjun’s also stupid though so he gets shocked by proxy if joochan’s staticky enough)

(i mean at least it makes everyone laugh???)

(yes this was inspired by that one video where he and bomin (i think) are playing with the lie detector (or was it the jangstar episode with daeyeol?? i can’t remember) and he put his hand over bomin’s/daeyeol’s and got wrecked too)

jesus christ this is supposed to be about joochan not jangjun let’s get back on track

anyway when joochan gets worked up either out of excitement or a more negative emotion the one thing that never fails to calm him down is music

he can play several instruments and sings very well 

so if it’s been a bad day or he’s feeling anxious, he’ll either go to the school music rooms of his own accord or daeyeol will notice and send him there to calm down a little before practice

which is where he finds you!

joochan’s playing the piano one day, singing n stuff and completely oblivious to you sleeping under the goddamn piano

how did you end up there? you were waiting for a friend/sibling (whichever one you choose) to finish up some after school activity so you could walk home together and you were sleepy and under the piano seemed like a decent place to nap so you set an alarm and passed out

look high school is draining so if you’re not making the best decisions by the end of the day who can blame you

and the piano is a real grand (let’s pretend the school has money shall we) so unless joochan was really looking (which he wasn’t), he wouldn’t have noticed you at the back

joochan’s there for a couple hours playing peacefully

AND THEN YOUR ALARM FUCKING RINGS 

joochan screams and falls off the stool

you shoot up and hit your head on the bottom of the piano

for a moment you two just groan in pain and then you look at each other and are like. what the fuck

and then it’s your turn to scream

anyway you both stop screaming eventually (miraculously no one comes in) and you try to explain to joochan as best you can and he just stays silent and you’re apologizing and then he busts out laughing

and somehow both of you are laughing through the pain and even though joochan wasn’t feeling too good earlier he feels even better laughing with you

when you eventually leave you have a new number in your phone and the promise of seeing joochan tomorrow :)

first thing joochan does when you go is text the 99 line group chat and be like guys someone fell asleep under the piano while i was playing and then woke up and my butt hurts from falling off the stool out of surprise but i think i’m in love

donghyun: stop being dramatic

jibeom: yeah what’ll happen when you accidentally shock them for the first time

joochan: you guys are horrible

but it turns out jibeom is... actually a little bit right

and it’s even worse. because your power is over water

water + electricity Do Not Mix

it isn’t usually too big of a problem? because it’s not like you conjure water out of anywhere or are always soaking wet bc you need water around to manipulate it, you can’t create it yourself

so like it’s kind of fine

except for some reason you react a little worse to joochan’s electric shocks (even mild ones) primarily due to your power which isn’t fun at all

it’s not just you, water manipulators are known to have more averse reactions to electric shocks than people with other powers

but it sucks because you really like joochan and he really likes you and both of you definitely want to ask each other out but how is this going to work if just being around joochan might be a hazard to you?

and for the first time joochan just... he really hates his power

like he’s given people some small burns before on accident but they weren’t big

with you though, even if it’s a small shock you react more badly than anyone expects and joochan really fucking hates it

after several volleyball practices where joochan is really out of it, daeyeol is about to ask what’s up but surprisingly jangjun steps up and says let me handle it

because after getting together with his partner, he thinks he has an idea of what joochan’s upset about

and when he asks joochan spills everything

it’s the first time joochan has really seen jangjun serious about anything other than volleyball or his partner

so jangjun tells joochan about what his partner told him, and really knocking someone unconscious once or twice isn’t as bad (though still bad) as getting electrocuted by a stray fucking spark

but similar advice applies. all powers have a destructive side and it shouldn’t stop joochan from living, he just has to learn to control himself as best as he can. there’s nothing more he can do but that

and this gives joochan the courage to ask if you want to talk about it

i’m going to say it ends well because i’m the author and i’m not going to give joochan a sad ending (he’s joochan what the fuck how could you do that to him) but you do acknowledge what could happen if either of you loses control

which just makes you two more determined to completely master your abilities so you won’t inadvertently hurt each other

really it’s sweet. joochan is still excitable but sparks fly off of him a lot less and the few that do you take care to avoid until his hair stops sticking up with static

and you take care to keep water away from him when he’s full of electricity

when joochan kisses you for the first time your lips tingle like his electricity is bleeding into you but it’s pleasant and sweet unlike his sparks and it just makes you want to kiss him all the time

(you tell that to him and he has to take like five minutes to figure out how to breathe again)

99 line won’t stop clowning you two for how you met and jibeom shows you the text about being in love that joochan sent 

legend says you can still hear jibeom’s electrocuted (not really he’s just being dramatic) screams in the gym late at night

yeah it’s cute you like bringing joochan roses bc they’re his favorite flower and joochan likes to bring you your favorite snacks and jangjun + his partner view you two like younger siblings in a way bc of the nature of your relationship

one big happy family until joochan’s hair sticks up and you have to yeet away

it’s fine though as long as you give him a kiss after he’s calmed down :)

bomin - mind reading

this one turned out so long compared to the others why

for context this was 1.7k and the others were all comfortably between 1k or 1.2k i'm gonna scream

anyway. bomin. mind reader like casey said. he’s kind of got it bad

well all mind readers do until they learn to block off their ability until they actually want to use it

which bomin is learning but he’s young and he found out his powers a little late so he doesn’t have as much experience

meaning whenever he goes to school his head kind of feels like it’s going to explode :/

it’s okay in volleyball - actually if anything it’s kind of useful

because yeah bomin is focused on the game, but he keeps a bit of his mind open to his teammates’ thoughts so he knows where to move or where to keep open and all that

and if the other team is a bunch of assholes he doesn’t stop from reading their minds a little so golcha’s ready to take them on :) small advantages

so where volleyball is concerned it’s not that big of an issue, even when the gym is full of spectators bomin can usually focus even without latching onto an empty mind because there’s so much going on in the game and he has to concentrate on that

however in uninteresting classes or when he’s just having a not good day...

luckily it’s gotten better after a year or so, like bomin can mostly filter out the world if he focuses on just one person’s thoughts

which is usually youngtaek (as casey + irl bomin came up with) because quote unquote ‘there’s not much going on up there’

yes i know i said that already in youngtaek’s part but it’s still hilarious to me and now it’s bomin’s turn so i’m saying it again. sue me

except now youngtaek has a partner about whom he thinks all the fucking time if he isn’t focusing on music/volleyball/class (though the last one is a little less frequent) so concentrating on youngtaek’s mind is now not exactly an option for bomin

no one’s mind is really empty at this point or at least not empty enough for bomin to use as a sort of safe space so he just resigns himself to having to go through all of this until he finally gets the hang of blocking off his ability

so the school year ends and daeyeol/sungyoon graduate wonderful blah blah blah long story short bomin is in all new classes with many new people and it is... a bit much

but life goes on and there’s not much bomin can do about things except work on his own power so even though he’s kinda crumbling around the edges he just smiles and bears it

and then he gets paired with you for a school project. at first it’s not anything special, just a regular project right

but then you guys decide to meet up at a cafe to work on it and it’s more crowded than either of you expected and bomin hasn’t had the greatest day so he just... stops in the middle of the cafe with this weird expression on his face because he’s just really overwhelmed

he doesn’t expect you to grab his wrist and drag him out of the cafe and into a quieter area of the street

and he really doesn’t expect you to say hey. focus on my mind, okay? my mind. focus. 

but he manages to and there’s just blissful emptiness and bomin latches on like it’s his lifeline (in a way, it is) and after a few minutes he manages to get his head together

turns out you have a sibling at home who’s also a mind reader and when they were still learning to control their power you learned to empty your thoughts temporarily so they’d have a place to focus on if things got to be too much

you also have a golden tongue (that you always control carefully) but it helps calm bomin down after he says it’s fine if you use it

after that you tell him if he’s having a mini crisis he can always find you

and bomin just about cries because after daeyeol/sungyoon graduated he kind of felt like his support network at school was missing something bc as much as he clowns them (daeyeol especially) he really relied on both to talk to about his mind-reading issues

now that you’re offering to support him... it just means a lot

definitely doesn’t help that he’s had a bad day in general and his emotions are kinda fraught at this point

you don’t end up getting anything done that day, you just take bomin over to your house bc no one’s there and your family won’t mind even if he’s still there when they get home, so you just take the time to get to know each other a little when bomin feels good enough to interact

he apologizes a lot for nothing getting done but you just hit him and tell him to shut up, it’s not his fault and you still have a couple weeks to work on it so it’s fine

you guys work on the project and it goes well in the end but even after that you and bomin still stay in contact

since you have a sibling who went through the same stuff bomin did, you have some tips to share about blocking out other minds even if your power isn’t the same

plus your golden tongue is really useful in calming bomin during the moments he needs it. you always make sure to get his permission to use it before you do though

when bomin asks about it you say it’s because of consent and stuff and if you don’t get permission it feels more like manipulation than helping? 

to him the similarities between you and daeyeol on that end are uncanny (even if you’re less awkward sorry not sorry daeyeol) and bomin just admires you all the more for it

anyway life’s going well, you and bomin are really good friends now but maybe like halfway through the year or something bomin senses that you’re becoming a little more closed off?

like he does his best not to read your mind but sometimes he gets accidental glimpses and though they’re usually pretty free (as in you don’t care what you’re thinking about around him) he now gets less of these glimpses and when he does, your mind seems emptier than usual

and he doesn’t want to bring it up? because that equals admitting he reads your mind sometimes no matter how accidental it is and with your emphasis on consent with your power bomin isn’t sure how well you’d take it

but then you avoid him for like two weeks so bomin breaks down about it to daeyeol over the phone and yeah it’s time for you two to talk

it takes some awkward silence and prodding and really big effort on bomin’s part to not willingly see what you’re thinking but the gist of it is

you have a fat crush on bomin and you’ve been avoiding him because you don’t want him to accidentally see any of it

bomin is like... y/n what the heck i have a crush on you too why didn’t you say anything :(

anyway it’s time for big reveals i guess so bomin admits he accidentally sees into your mind every so often and he feels really bad about it but you’re super understanding bc of your sibling of course

and bomin feels kind of stupid for worrying so much he should’ve thought of that but oh no now you’re hugging him and saying sorry into his shirt so pretty much all thoughts fly out of his mind because maybe this is a little like heaven to bomin

dating you is so refreshing. he’s so happy to have someone around who completely understands like yeah there are other mind readers in the school but it’s not as common a power as others and they’ve been masters at blocking out the world for a long while that they’ve kinda forgotten about how it feels to a beginner

but you’re so sweet and understanding and bomin feels even better when he meets your sibling who teases you two of course but also serves as another pillar of support for him

it’s not just one-sided either. like even though bomin tries not read your mind without permission, he’s still good at picking up on your moods even if you’re not explicit which makes it so much easier to trust and confide in him

and even if you’re not in the mood to talk he gets that too - he won’t force you to do anything

on the occasions when even you can’t pick through your own thoughts you let bomin take a peek in and even if he can’t help in the moment it’s enough that someone else knows and understands :)

you’re so fucking cute together. like the rest of golcha coos over you. even donghyun who’s the most low-key with his partner jfc

daeyeol and sungyoon come back from university to visit and bomin’s like. we’ve got to hide

you: why

bomin: just trust me

long story short you do not (you: they’re your former teammates and friends! how bad can it be?) and uh by the end of the day maybe you’ve had enough teasing about you/bomin for the rest of your life

but when he’s not teasing you do hit it off with daeyeol bc of the same powers thing and secretly bomin’s really happy that two of the people he treasures the most get along so well

yeah you and bomin are just super cute and rely on each other a lot in a healthy way and you’re always there for each other

everyone wishes they had as nice a relationship as you two :)

you: you shouldn’t. bomin teases me every five fucking seconds about something i did like three months ago

bomin: and yet you love me :)

you: debatable

bomin :|

(it’s ok you kiss him later and he gets smiley again which you delight in seeing even if he does go back to teasing you five seconds later)

If you enjoyed, please don’t forget to reblog and leave a comment to tell me what you thought! Thank you for reading and have a lovely day <3

(1 reblog = 1 prayer for the team coach he needs some support dealing with all these brats)

[afoolandathief]

hello! happy storyteller saturday! I was wondering if I could hear a bit more about Jade's magic? what sort of system does it use, how does it manifest... any terrible downsides? also I would love to hear about what other types of magic exist in this world too c:

Hello and happy STS to you! And yes, of course, I love talking about the magic in SW!

(apologies, this got reeaaally long-winded)

So, witches' magic in general is fairly unique compared to other supernatural beings. It has to use energy from other surrounding organisms or elements, which is then returned upon completion of the spell. Witches' magic is also strictly a manipulation of time and natural processes, just used in a variety of ways (changing chemicals in the brain to cause hallucinations, heating air currents to levitate something).

The main downside to this is after particularly powerful magic or a lot of spells a witch will feel exhausted and drained. It's also partly why other supernatural beings don't trust witches — they think witches will "steal" their own magic, even though that's not the case (it does, however, according to Caz after Jade used the life force he'd just ingested, feel "really fucking weird").

For Jade's specific ability of seeing the future, she has to have some kind of skin-to-skin contact before she basically conks out for a second as she's presented with someone's various life paths (when it comes to poker that just involves brushing against someone at the table, but she's also just really good at card-counting).

The downside, besides also getting drained by this and the overall trauma of seeing so many horrible life choices, is that Jade has to be careful when having contact with someone that she doesn't accidentally see their future, which makes her fairly touch-averse.

For vampires, their power and abilities stem from taking someone's life force in addition to their blood when they kill them. As shapeshifters, besides hypnosis, most of their abilities are based in changing their own bodies: transforming into animals, forming massive wings and lowering their own density to fly, growing gills so they don't drown, etc.

For other magical creatures, their magic systems varies. For the Fae, at the moment my world-building basically states "they have absolute power, don't need to follow the laws of physics like witches, don't need a blood sacrifice like vamps, but they're just too jaded and bored to do anything with it."

Things I Will Not Write For (Please Read To The End)

1. Rape*

2. Zoophilia**

3. Hybristophilia**

4. Detailed Action Scenes*

5. Pedophilia/Grooming**

6. Sexual Assault*

Words with * after it is just an explanation/addendum.

Words with ** are both an explanation/addendum and/or a definition.

#1-3 & 5-6 - I will accept requests for stories that have elements of these topics - as in, they can be hinted at in stories/briefly mentioned in the story. I will not write requests with numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 in detail.

#2,3,5 - Zoophilia - The definition of zoophilia is sexual attraction of a human toward a nonhuman animal, which may involve the experience of sexual fantasies about the animal or the pursuit of real sexual contact with it (i.e., bestiality). This does not apply to fantasy/mythical/supernatural/sci-fi creatures (as they do not exist).

Hybristophilia - The definition of hybristophilia is the sexual interest in and attraction to those who commit crimes. In some cases, this may be directed toward people in prison for various types of criminal activities. This does not apply to fictional criminals (as they are not real).

Grooming - Most people on here probably already know about pedophilia, but just in case some aren't aware grooming is a different type of pedophilia. Grooming is the act of befriending a minor with the intent of manipulating them into a relationship (usually sexual) with the groomer. This can - and usually is - used to manipulate the minor into defending and/or consenting to the relationship.

#4 - Ironically number 4 is not because of any triggers or anything like the other things I won't write about.

I put number 4 on this list because even after 13 years of writing, I still have no goddamn clue how to write detailed fight/action scenes. Domestic fights? Yes, those I can do (usually involves throwing stuff). But action sequences that involve complicated movements or even weaponry? Trust me, I've tried. It always ends up looking like a middle schooler wrote it - as in, it's mediocre and not something you'd expect someone 13 years of writing experience to come up with.

I can do minorly detailed action sequences or anything that isn't long, but don't expect me to be able to pull off a battle to the death. 😭😭😭😭

THINGS & CHARACTERS I WILL WRITE

1. I will write any character, even if I do not know who they are, as long as the character selected doesn’t directly conflict with the post regarding what I won’t write about. If you’re unsure about this, directly message me and I will let you know if I will or won't write about it. My DMs are open to everyone.

2. I will write any content with NSFW or triggering content as long as it follows the post regarding what I won’t write about and contains a warning detailing what NSFW or triggering content is in it.

3. I will write OCs as long as I know details regarding the OC so that I can best portray the OC in the writing.

4. Any fictional media type, i.e anime, movies, tv shows etc. If the selected fictional genre contains content that is in the post of things I won’t write about, please don’t request that content specifically. Please message me if you have any questions regarding this. This, unfortunately, doesn’t apply to anything owned by the Tolkien Estate (they are currently pulling an “Anne Rice”).

5. Real life celebrities or influencers. This doesn’t apply to celebrity x celebrity, influencer x influencer, or celebrity x influencer.

6. Furries, scalies, and whatever the people who like anthropomorphic turtles call themselves (turtles are considered amphibians).

7. Anything supernatural, magical, mythical, fantasy or otherwise non-human.

8. I am willing to write sci-fi, but I’m not that great at it as most sci-fi writings need some level of science knowledge higher than that of a middle schooler. So be prepared for any sci-fi I write to suck.

9. Smut. Prepare for it to be mediocre, though.

10. Age gap romances - as long as both characters are adults by human standards.

11. Any fictional media genre, i.e. horror, romance, adventure, etc. I am not a great writer for all fictional genres, so be prepared to be (at least a little) disappointed with some genres.

12. Dialogue scripts.

13. Letters from fictional characters.

14. I’m willing to write poetry (not set to music or with the intent to set to music), but I prefer not to as I don’t like writing it.

15. I'm willing to write poetry (not set to music or with the intent to set to music), but I prefer not to as I don’t like writing it.

16. I’m willing to write songfics and crack fics, but I’d prefer it if those kinds of requests would be kept to a minimum.

4 - 11 For everyone.

Thanks for the ask, anon!! Under the cut, since it's quite a few questions!

4. If your muse could be granted any supernatural or elemental power of their choosing, what would they pick?

N: Hydrokinesis. Have a lot of theories they'd like to try out, (one of them being that if you have control over water, would you have partial flight abilities by manipulating the water in the air?) and also, have always been a tiny bit afraid of water, and would like to have control over it.

Oli: Chronokinesis. If they could change the past, they would.

Hannie: Shapeshifting. They would like to try being a new person. Maybe they could succeed by their own means.

5. If your muse could quit their job and not have to worry about money, what would they do with the rest of their life?

N: Buy a castle. Sit in castle. Plan elaborate traps and puzzles for castle. Never tell anyone about the castle they have, and live in a nice little house until their death. Their family will find a note which says to go to a remote destination-- the castle-- and will then be asked to solve the puzzles. The person who solves the puzzles will get the will. They will lead the family across the world, where some of them will stop looking bc it's too much work, and eventually back to the castle, and they'll go to find the last piece of the puzzle-- only to have N come out dramatically to say that they were never dead in the first place. They'll do a whole speech and everything. They expect applause. Then they'll give the winners some gold and write them into their will.

Oli: Just wants to get some goats and live out in the hill side.

Hannie: They really don't have to worry about money... like ever, in their life, already. But I think they would become an astronaut if they got the chance.

6. If your muse could transform into an animal and back again, what one animal would they choose?

N: Jellyfish. They would never have to think again (since jellyfish don't have brains), it would just be vibes and the ocean.

Oli: A parakeet. Not for any discernable reason, they just used to have dreams about being a parakeet and it would feel like the right thing to do.

Hannie: A cat. Any kind, they don't mind. They just want to be able to talk to their cats. They want to ask Refridgerator if he really loves them.

7. In order for the world to survive, your muse must kill their closest friend / lover. Will they do it?

Yes: Hannie, Oli

No: N

8. How would your muse deal with a surprise visit from a person claiming to be their biological child?

They'd all be like huh? Wtf??? I don't have a child??? Hannie might actually have this happen to them, considering they're hot and rich, but would write it off as another publicity stunt kind of thing.

9. If your muse was a character in Don’t Starve, what would their special survival perk be?

I unfortunately don't know what Don't Starve is, so I can't answer that question!! Sorry!!

10. If your muse could learn any one skill instantly, what would they choose?

N: How to do complicated magic tricks. I'm not just talking disappearing coin, I'm talking medium level magic. They're not really interested in the getting locked in a box stuff, just simple stuff that'll impress people at parties.

Oli: How to cook. They can't cook ANYTHING.

Hannie: Can do pretty much everything they want already.

11. Your muse has the ability to completely destroy one thing from existence and all human memory. What do they pick?

Hannie: Eggplants. They HATE eggplants.

N: The letter e. Just to mess with people. Or, should I say, just to mss with popl.

Oli: Mosquitoes.
