more pilot stuffs

ACTUAL PILOT DESIGNS!!!! also did a little relation chart of what i think they thought of one another before really getting to know each other

[neil-gaiman]

Hello Neil Gaiman! Since I adore your work and read your books with interest, I would like to ask a couple of questions that torment my brain regarding the book "Good Omens". Not a series, but a book, I think this will not be a huge spoiler, but just funny and interesting facts. Sorry in advance, there were more questions than I initially expected) 1) What do Hell and Heaven look like in the book? We've seen the posh portrayal of Hell and Heaven in the show, but the book implies they're more stereotypical. Hell - caves, lava, fire, creepy horned creatures around, Paradise - a blooming garden or a beach resort with white angels. Is it so? There were only a couple of hints about the heat in Hell in the book, it would be interesting to know if this is actually the case. 2) What do Hastur and Ligur look like in the book? Are they in human form or real creepy devils? As a designer and animator, this question torments me the most, sorry) We saw that Beelzebub is described as a red-skinned horned monster, but what do the two dukes of the Underworld look like?3) Hastur is more concerned with this issue, is he from the very beginning a bunch of larvae or a demonic creature with larvae inside? Or is he one of them in the truest sense of the word?4) Does the Dark Council of Hell include such high demons as Mammon, Asmodeus, Belphegor, Leviathan, Lilith?5) Stana and Lucifer are different demons or not?6) Are the tortures and executions in the circles of Hell the same as Dante's or are they somehow different?7) Hastur threatens Crowley in a rather interesting way: "You're going to get taken to the bloody cleaners, pal". There are some kind of blood cleaners in Hell and it is better not to mess with them?8) Do all demons have a true form from a crowd of larvae? It's just that not only Hastur loves this image, but also Crowley, which, it seems to me, is not particularly to his taste. So these are their demonic forms?9) Why in the book Hell and Paradise pretend that everything is in order, and do not try to blame someone for the failure of Armageddon? This is the best scene in the series!Sorry in advance, there are too many questions, but of course you can only answer the most favorite and important questions, and yes, thank you very much! 

Generally the best thing about books is that they leave questions unanswered, and the best thing about fanfiction and headcanons is you get to answer those questions to your own satisfaction.

Hi, can i request Vergil x jealous fem!reader.

I’ve seen people do the other way around but Vergil is too damn fine for girls to ignore. Reader is normally shy but when the other women dose not get the hint that Vergil is taken while also mistreating the reader, she lashes out to the point Vergil has to get her out of there since they were causing a scene in the restaurant. Reader gets embarrassed and ashamed but Vergil ends up comforting her <3

Yes, he is fine as hell, lol. Here ya go, enjoy!

Too good for you (Vergil x jealous!fem!Reader angst/fluff)

Folding your arms in your seat at the quaint, cozy restaurant Vergil had taken you to, you grumbled at the scene before you, your dissatisfaction very clearly expressed on your face.

Your boyfriend Vergil had decided to take you to a cute little restaurant for dinner as opposed to something fancier simply for the homely atmosphere. Honestly, at this point, you were beginning to wish he'd taken you somewhere fancier because if he did, there would be a less likely chance of the waitresses crowding around your table, chattering away at him as they were now.

"Oh my God, look at his muscles!" One of them squealed, reaching out to poke Vergil's bicep. After seeing this, you wished he hadn't chosen to take off his cost to eat.

"And his hands are so big and strong," Another cooed, this one a dumb looking bimbo with too much makeup and dry hair.

"He is so good looking, I'm folding like clean laundry!" Giggled yet another woman whose face you couldn't see, to a bitchy-looking girl who had way too many lip fillers.

"I know, right?" She cackled, lightly running her hands, adorned with ridiculously long neon pink talons down Vergil's forearm.

These women--no--these bitches were treating Vergil more like an object to be admired rather than a person, seeing as they weren't respecting his personal space, or yours for that matter.

"Could I sit there?" Asked one woman, pointing to your seat. When you looked up to meet her face, you nearly recoiled in shock--she looked like a literal clown with her face paint and awful hairdo, not to mention her weird looking outfit that seemed to have been together from whatever she could find in a local high school's lost and found box.

"N-no...no, you can't," You finally answered, once you'd regained your ability to speak. In response to your words, the woman pouted, but did not leave. Instead, she seized your arm and began pulling on you in an attempt to get you out of your seat, that you were paying for. Good God, the entitlement of this woman!

Vergil himself ignored the women harassing him; it didn't bother him one bit, he'd endured worse at the hands of Mundus. But to see you being harassed by anyone at all made him put his foot down.

"Take your hands off her," He commanded, staring at the woman with a glare cold enough to freeze lava.

The woman, visibly upset, moodily took her hands off you and stalked away, though once she left, several more took her place. Groaning internally, you focused your attention on the table, trying so very hard to tune out the world around you. Vergil saw this, obviously, and reached across the table for your hand, giving it a gentle, reassuring squeeze.

You'd think by now, the women would have gotten the hint that the man they were fawning over was already taken, but nooooo. These girls were either idiots or they thought they could steal your boyfriend right out from under you. All of them. At once.

There was a severe lack of braincells in that room, unfortunately.

As you were trying so very hard to ignore these pests, one girl had the audacity to remark,

"You, girl, are way out of your league. He's too good for you."

"Yeah, bestie. Seriously though," Another girl scoffed. "He's male model hot, and you're just, well, basic."

"Yup, pretty basic bitch right here," Chimed in the third. "It makes no sense, why do ugly girls get all the fine men?" The girls were now talking amongst themselves about you, rather than to you.

"Honestly, he should just leave her,'" Sighed one of the girls. "He can do so much better."

At that point, you lost all the last shreds of self control you had left. With a screech unfamiliar to even your own brain, you lifted your glass of water and splashed it on the girls, effectively soaking their shirts and pants. Squealing like the little piggy that went "wee, wee, wee," all the way home, the girls fled from the scene, naturally causing a great deal of confusion and tension to arise in the restaurant.

You caught sight of a manager approaching you, as did Vergil, who immediately leapt from his seat, slipped on his coat, took your hand in his, and briskly led you out the door.

The two of you walked in silence for some time before you decided to speak up.

"I'm sorry, Vergil." You sighed, sounding sadder than you meant to.

"For what?" He replied, turning to look at you.

"For...ruining our dinner date...and causing a scene...and embarrassing the both of us in public..." You let out a shaky, nervous sigh which quickly turned into a small gasp of surprise when Vergil let go of your hand and thew his arm around your shoulder, pulling you close to him.

"You have nothing to apologize for." He told you, sternly.

"I...don't?" You asked, confused.

"Not at all." He affirmed, rubbing small circles into your shoulder with his thumb. "It was simply an act of jealousy. I would have done the same, had our roles been reversed." He paused a moment before adding with a smile,

"I am proud of you for standing up for yourself, and me." A tiny, unintentional gasp left you as you stared up at him, noting how his cold blue eyes glowed with a warmth reserved only for moments like this between the two of you.

"Really?" You inquired, almost breathlessly.

"Absolutely. It shows you have power, that you are willing to fight when necessary. It means you are motivated," Vergil said, leaning down to plant a soft and brief kiss on your forehead. "Do not stress over it any longer. Let us return home. We will continue our dinner date there."

You chuckled, wrapping your arms around Vergil's torso, clinging onto him as you walked--a very rare occurrence, which you savored. Now that your jealousy was gone, you had to admit, those women had a point: Vergil really was too good for you.

Work-Life Balance

Lucifer x GN!MC

[ Scenario: Not only are you Lucifer's student, but you are also his spouse. Only a select few are privy to the latter information, and both of you intend to keep it that way. Nevertheless... you do want to push his buttons. ]

Wordcount - 1242

The sound of chalk tapping against the chalkboard. The dusky Devildom classroom, lit by dozens of deep blue will ‘o wisps silently buzzing around the room. The feeling of the pen grinding against your writing callus as you hurriedly copied down each complicated symbol, struggling to keep up with the chalk. The smoky, familiar smell that greeted you as the professor made his rounds to check on everyone’s work. 

This is your magic classroom. 

“As you all seem to be comfortable with basic water enchantments, we’ll be moving onto section 2.4 today,” the black-haired male announces after he’s returned to his desk at the front of the lecture hall. The glare of the will ‘o wisps shimmers off his glasses, temporarily dying the lenses blue before you shift your head over another person’s. “Has anyone read ahead of the today’s lecture notes?” I have, because I watched you write them. “No one?” 

“I have, Lord Lu—er, Professor,” someone says timidly, and your professor gives the barest hint of a smile. 

“Then would you care to tell your peers what I’m going to teach for the remainder of today’s class time?” 

“Fire magic fundamentals.” A collective groan, one which the professor quickly puts an end to with a quick look. Although he is surprisingly forgiving, every one of Professor Lucifer’s students knows that he isn’t a man to be trifled with, and not just because he and his family have been personally hired by RAD’s President, Diavolo. 

“If you’re going to groan, I frankly have no idea why you’ve bothered coming to my class,” Lucifer says, taking his time to look over the room. “This is Sorcery 101, Magical Constitution and Control. If you struggle in one area, you struggle with all of them. I do not care if you all are used to the fire affinity. You will learn from the ground up, and you will learn it properly in this class. Understand?”

“Yes, Professor…” is the resounding, chastised mumble that flows through the hall. 

“Now, let us begin by disproving a few common myths about fire magic…” Lucifer begins, and his scrawl quickly covers the board as he draws a perfect inscribed pentagram. “MC, our human student, came to my office hours to ask about this when we covered section 2.1, raw energy, and I believe now would be an appropriate time to answer their question. They asked, ‘can I shoot a fireball if I just tell the energy to do that?’ Who would like to answer that question?” You shrink a little in your seat; of course he mentions that embarrassing conversation that definitely was not during his office hours. 

Lucifer turns and nods at one of the students raising their hand, and they say: “Yeah. Fire is raw energy.” 

“You are both correct and incorrect,” Lucifer replies, and for not the first time, you feel bad for the student, but it was more kind than him normally declaring an answer completely wrong. “Fire can be manipulated from raw energy very easily, but to say that it is raw energy is incorrect. How does fire appear in the human world, MC?” 

“Er, carbon combusts in the presence of oxygen… is the general rule,” you reply. Wait, does whatever the hell happens with the sun or event horizons or lava count? 

“That is one of the ways, yes,” Lucifer replies. Dammit! “Fire requires a fuel source, and similarly, magic activation for fire requires extra energy to combust and change form. In other words, there is a secondary, constant cost to fire magic activation, similar to other magic we have covered. I would say you waste about 1.5 times more energy using fire magic over raw power.” A few of the students shrink in their seats, clearly guilty parties. “Does that answer your question, MC?” 

“...yes,” you reply, feeling a bit sulky, and Lucifer gives you the briefest snarky little smirk. Oh, he would pay for that.

~~~

“MC, I thought we agreed no more using my office hours,” Lucifer sighs as you knock on the open door to his room. It’s a quiet place, complete with a clean blackboard, a well-used box of chalk on its metal ledge and four chairs tucked tight against a long table against the wall. Lucifer’s computer sits open at his desk, facing away from you, but you know well enough he’s grading assignments right now. “You’re using time that other students need.” 

“And?” you ask, closing the door behind you. “I need you more than them, Professor.” Oh, that tone? You’re going with that tone? Here, in Lucifer’s office? 

“MC,” he says warningly, but you’re stalking up to his desk, placing your hands onto the polished wood as you bend your head down to Lucifer’s. “MC… This is not the time…” He doesn’t mean that, not in the slightest; you can hear his sternness slowly being exchanged for tenderness and desire, and you find yourself smiling as you bring one hand up to caress his soft, pale cheek. 

“Can’t you make a little time for your spouse?” you ask, and Lucifer blinks slowly at you, his crimson eyes melting further. He is melting in your hands like chocolate on a warm Halloween. 

“Darling, I love you, but I’m working,” he murmurs, returning your cheek caress. “Can’t you wait for me?”

“No,” you murmur, your lips practically touching his. Stubborn bastard won’t kiss you right now though, no, because that door could open, and then what? Some kind of student-teacher sex scandal? Oh, but the prospect of being caught is so dangerously tempting. You’d be lying if it hadn’t crossed your mind that you could live out fantasies most people couldn’t dream of, if not for Lucifer’s (and your) need for this to be kept a secret. 

“I’ve had a very long day,” he says, his eyes wandering across your face, then down your collar and lower, scanning you as if confirming for himself that you’re standing there. “And you’re pushing me, MC.” Well, that’s the intent, honeybunch. 

“You can take it out on me, Lucifer,” you whisper, “You know I can take it, and what’s the harm anyway?” 

Lucifer’s lips part, and he captures you in a kiss for a moment before you pull away, leaving him confused. 

“MC?”

“Thank you, darling; I’m all refreshed.” You straighten up from his desk. “Oh, did you think I was serious? I was only joking, Luci; we can’t do that here. Who knows what hapless student might bear witness!” You laugh a little at Lucifer’s annoyed face. He can’t argue with you on this either, because he knows damn well that you’re right, even if there weren’t a lot of students brave enough to use his office hours.

“...you’re welcome,” he replies with a slow, irritated sigh. “I should assign you 20 extra problems from the next unit.” 

“Oh yeah?” 

“I think I will,” Lucifer says after a moment, a smile slipping back across his lips. “Due at midnight tonight.” 

“Wait, you’re serious?”

“Perfectly,” he replies, returning back to grading papers. “In fact, let’s make it a test. It’ll be awfully difficult for you to write while your face is pressed against your answer sheet, so I’ll read it out to you, and you’ll need to tell me what the right answer is. If you fail, you’ll certainly need to come to me for some supplementary lessons.” 

Well, shit. That backfired. 

…not like you’re complaining though.

The scariest people are never the ones who immediately creep you out. They are the ones who are expert at seeming trustworthy. You may already know someone like this, and not realize it yet.

Be it on the Internet or in real life, it is important to be cautious around anyone who starts suggesting things you aren't comfortable with or asking for information that is none of their business.

Things no one taught you about the Internet!

Starting with minors (17 and under in the US)

DON'T POST YOUR AGE! Or age rage. Or birth year. Do not write 'minor' in your bio. This is probably the most common and most dangerous mistake! You will be actively targeted.

Don't pretend you're an adult!!! If a creep sees that you wrote 18 or older but act like a minor, they will do all the same tricks to become your friend, and know they have a legal loophole because they can always claim they didn't know! This is almost more dangerous than just saying "I'm a kid, come hurt me"

Instead just don't say anything! Don't post it anywhere, and don't add it to your bio. If someone asks you for your age, just block them.

Don't share your name or nickname! Even if you don't share your last name, they can pick up enough details about you over time that even a first name is enough to find you.

Instead, use a totally different name! Something like Eli_Bloodsucker is way more fun, just don't use it if your real name or even a real life nickname is Eli, Eliza, Ellie, or anything else even remotely similar!

Don't talk to anyone directly! Be it in comments or asks or in direct messages, they're all dangerous. It doesn't matter if they say they are a minor or an adult. If you can't see their face, don't talk to them. If you find a real life friend you didn't know had an account, don't talk to them. That might not be your friend. You can text your friend directly or talk to them in real life about it later.

Instead, just spread positivity purely form likes and reblogs. Pretend the comment and chat buttons are lava or acid or something. Don't touch them.

Don't share ANYTHING about where you live. Not even country. Don't tell someone about how it's always humid where you live or that there's a storm where you are.

Instead, you can share about weather vaguely later. For example, "a few months ago it snowed and I slipped on ice."

Don't, talk about an activity that would even hint that you are a minor. Don't talk about school, don't talk about piano lessons, don't talk about martial arts class, or football practice. Don't mention growing out of your clothes. Don't mention how your mom grounded you. Don't talk about your little brother barging into your room.

Instead, before posting any stories from your real life, ask yourself if this could also easily apply to someone in their 20s living with roommates instead of family members and working a full-time job. If the answer is yes, then post it, if not, don't. (Good example: I burnt my eggs but I didn't want to waste it so I still ate it. Bad example: My dad made me eggs this morning even though I hate them, and made me eat them.)

Don't post or share pictures or videos of yourself online. Someone can either use it to find you or steal them to lure your friends or other people your age into trusting them.

Instead, find a picture of a duck with a mustache online, and make that you're profile picture. Find a map of Australia and post that as your "outfit check". Way more fun.

Do not trust the person who reblogged this. Do not trust the original poster. Creeps will sometimes post about Internet safety as part of their plan to make you trust them.

So how can you tell who to trust, and who not to? You can't! That's the Internet. Better to play it safe than to risk your actual life over a post or a trend

Adult Internet safety:

Idk, it's your life. You know the consequences you might face. Make your own damn decisions. If your dad can't tell you what to do, then I sure can't.

Oh, and don't interact with people you know, or think, are kids. There is help available for those who are tempted to do this. Don't go down that path. There are resources, there are other ways. Having thoughts isn't a crime, acting on them is. PLEASE talk to a licensed professional.

Seduce Me Situations

Cause I'm bored!

So we all know that the brothers tend to be concerned about Damien because.... yeah and they all tend to be a little concerned for their wives but do any of the brothers get worried about each other minus Damien?

James tends to be a bit worried about how often Sam puts himself in danger. For as harsh as James can be, he does notice Sam's strengths. He also notices that Sam often throws himself into the fray because he's very strong and fast and makes James concerned. Sam may be the physically strongest but magically he's the weakest and he never seems to take that into consideration. James is worried that Sam will someday get himself really hurt thanks to his impulses.

Erik is usually very solidly concerned about Damien but he can also be concerned about Matthew. He doesn't respect Matthew because, from his perspective, Matthew acts like a child. Erik has a perception that Matthew can be gullible. (though how true this is can be debatable) He's also concerned about Matthew being the physically weakest. Yes he has strong magic but a good punch in the wrong area could break something and that is a relatively reasonable fear.

Sam notices Erik's fakeness more than others as he has clear memories of who Erik once was before he was told to be charming. He also notices some hints of doubt, shame or sadness in Erik that most don't notice. This is pretty rare for Sam as he tends to not be able to read faces well but when he pays extra attention, he can pick up the little details. He really just wants the real Erik back, no matter who that person is now.

Matthew is skeptical about James. Specifically his health. James always seems healthy. He's rarely sick, rarely injured, always at full capacity but barely ever taking time for himself. Sometimes Matthew catches glimpses of James seemingly hunched over the kitchen sink, not looking well but if Matthew makes his presence known James suddenly stands up straight and greets him like nothing happened. Matthew feels like James isn't as healthy as he portrays and he's just a good liar.

Damien is also concerned about Erik but this comes from trauma. Remember he witnessed the event that took out Erik's eye. He watched a demon essentially chuck lava at his brother and blind him. All while he was 14 years old. That's traumatic and it made Erik seem temporary, like Damien could lose his closest friend at any moment.

Staying Level-Headed

You know everyone was looking at qPhil coming back chanting “KILLZA KILLZA KILLZA” and like yeah we all want it, and we sort of got it through the initial chaos: the lava cast over the presidential building, the threats of further action against the Federation. It's not exactly the violent/furious rampage some might've been wanting or expecting, though.

And honestly? I'm glad---because it makes perfect sense.

Since the start, Phil has been very upfront about his thoughts concerning the egg situation. He knew and believed and repeatedly expressed (to his kids, sometimes!) that there was a very good chance they were going to die, or get taken away. He's always been very practical about death and treated it as an inevitable force that can't be evaded. Man, you can trace it back in his character so far. When the Nightmare happens, and Phil is holding a dying Chayanne in his arms, he says something to the effect of, "I'm so sorry, they just don't want you to live in this world."

A fact. A hard, cold, undeinable fact.

Phil is pragmatic. Married to Death. Hinted at having lived a long, long time; seen many things, outlived many people.

He is a survivor. And rule number one of being a survivalist: always be prepared to be faced with the cruel, the unfair, and the unexpected.

So, yes, of course it hurts. He never wanted his kids to be taken away from him---but he's braced for the blow. He has been mentally fortifying himself for a moment like this for months, and on another level, most of his life.

Thus, after he has a moment to allow himself to break, he takes a deep breath and keeps a level head. He talks to Tubbo and Fit, lets them fill him in on the situation, doesn't demand answers they don't have. When they tell him about how the island's president has gone off the deep end, Phil's immediate instinct is to believe the best in Forever and that he must be being manipulated by the Federation in some way. (Seriously! He draws that conclusion so fast! He immediately recognizes Forever as a victim rather than a threat or an enemy, despite Forever's position of power and "emotional unavailability.") And yeah, Phil instagates the lava cast, which is still griefing, but it's a localized, controllable form of griefing that is inflicted upon Federation territory only, and he follows it up with threats of further action with a viable plan. Then, he immediately plunges into an investigation of the old freezer/prison with Tubbo to look for any possible clues left behind.

Look, this isn't to say that the way that qPhilza---or ccPhilza, for that matter---is handling the situation "better" than anyone else, or that the other characters aren’t capable of making rational decisions. All of the other characters' various reactions, breakdowns, retaliations, and quests for answers are believable, well-played, and fascinating. (Like fuck dude the ccs are COOKING right now; and objectively speaking, the mines are pretty goddamn funny lol.) I just want to outline exactly why qPhil's reaction works so, so, so well for his character and why I'm ultimately glad that he didn't go all hyper-murdery, stewing about putting the Federation's heads on a pike or storming the Federation HQ or anything like that.

((Also, it's worth mentioning that all of his plans aren't """perfect""" decisions for the situation! Like his plan to play keep-away with Forever's briefcase of drugs until the effects of his last dose wear off. We know how unstable Forever becomes when the withdrawal starts to set in---he began to panic and pulled a gun on Phil. As terrible as the pills are for him, Forever becomes a danger to himself and the people around him when the medication wears off. He's so fragile right now, so if Phil going to try to get him to go cold-turkey, ideally, Phil would need to do it in a safer environment than just, fucking anywhere. Also Phil's follow-up plan is to assassinate Forever, potentially by taking advantage the apparent trust Forever has in Phil??? Like I get it, desperate times require desperate measures, and it still makes for an interesting story line that I would absolutely gobble up, but OW???? Like qPhil, bestie, are you sure that's the best plan in the long run????? Anyway, I digress.))

So that's about it. I miss my little huevos but I love this arc SO so much and I love pPhil and I have so many thoughts about him and I can't wait to see where this goes. Rambles over. Gn <3

Continuing the theme of showing the cast and their tragic losses to show how they can relate to Evil Wolverine’s motivation, we have Mokona thinking of CLOW REED. 

WHICH IS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. 

And yet yes absolutely, Mokona was made by Yuuko and Clow - and they adore Yuuko, so maybe they adored Clow too. And Clow is dead. 

THAT is an insight into a grief I didn’t know Mokona had, and I kind of love that. To frame Clow Reed as someone to be missed in the same way that Yuuko does. And maybe Mokona is also thinking of how much Yuuko misses Clow, and also has that part of her that wishes very badly to bring him back, but Knows she can’t. 

(Or maybe she’s thinking of something that Clow Reed did? Did he also try to bring someone back, and did he also realise it was impossible? Did he still try anyway? And was it Yuuko, or is her death imagery unrelated to this?)

Meanwhile add Lava Lamp to the grief agenda also - and in a way, Evil Wolverine IS right about Lava Lamp being more similar to him than the rest. He’s the one STILL obsessively trying to save Sakura, even though we’ve seen her die on screen twice in the present. And he’s given up EVERYTHING to save her - he wished away his entire future to have a chance to undo her curse, and from the tone of his voice here he wasn’t successful. 

I am still loving the parallels between them, especially because it hints that there are some… let’s say Hard decisions ahead of Lava Lamp. And he might have the option of going Full Evil Wolverine to save her, or he might have to actually let her go…?

But he has a new family with him now to help him now, who all Get It and loved the same person he does, and they all know how HARD it is to let it go when you’ve spent so long fighting for it. So he has the choice to follow their growth instead of Evil Wolverine’s if it comes down to it, and he would be supported by the best possible people if he did.

So you want to use tasty, tasty rocks and minerals in crystals in your correspondence magic.

Problem is, a lot of metaphysical sources don't cite their sources. Good folklore books, additionally, can be hard to find or acquire. Especially the ones that may give you a lead on ancient magical uses of various stones!

That's where science comes in. Good old GEOLOGY FACTS and LOGIC can show you where you can use stones in your spells when all else fails.

I already told you humans the difference between crystals and rocks and minerals and why it matters to spiritual folk. (We'll be using "stone" to cover all these categories in this post.)

Here's part 2: how to use science as correspondence inspiration. This will help you develop personal associations with the rocks as well.

When you have a stone, ask...

🔮 HOW'D THIS LITTLE TURD FORM?

How or where ye olde earth birthed your stone will give you hints as to its potential powers and associations. If you know the name of your stone, likely you can easily look it up on Google.

If it's a rock, for example, it might be...

Igneous. These rocks form when magma/lava cool. Good for fire magic, perhaps?

Sedimentary. These rocks form when layers of existing rock and other material glomp together. Decent for community magic, maybe?

Metamorphic. These rocks form when existing rocks change under pressure or intense heat. Great for transformation magic, perchance?

If you know where your stone was mined, think about that, too!

Of course, it may also be synthetic, or man-made. This is fine, because any object can have power, even if it's "unnatural." (You humans sure are obsessed with drawing a line between you and "nature.") But only you can decide if this will shape how you use it in spells.

🔮 THE HECK IS THIS STONE SHAPED LIKE?

This is one of the easiest aspects of your stone to figure out, since, like, it's right there.

For example, is your stone tumbled or carved? These are qualities you can use in any spell. A skull-shaped piece of quartz likely has a different vibe than a simpler tumbled round piece, y'know?

Orrrr...maybe your stone's natural? If so, what's its overall "habit" (general shape)? Prism-like? Plant-like? Needle-like?

🔮 HOW HARD IS THIS STONE?

Some stones are soft little boys and some are battle-hardened Warriors of the Big Tough. If you scratch the stone gently with your fingernail, does it leave a mark? How deep? Does powder come off of the stone?

Of course, sometimes a stone is too important to scratch like a poopy little kitty. In that case, most stones lie somewhere on the Mohs scale. If you know what kind of stone you have, you can likely Google its hardness on said scale.

All this, obviously, is just another property of the stone to note. If you're into correspondence magic, how might you use a very hard stone in a spell vs. a soft one?

🔮 WHAT'S THIS STONE'S COLOR?

Obviously, you'll want to take note of the stone's color and what connotations that brings up for you personally. One human's red isn't another human's red, as it so happens.

If the stone's synthetic, it's still fine to take note of its color. Angel aura quartz, for example, may not have come out of the ground all Rainbow Like That, but that doesn't mean it's any less Rainbow Like That.

Also take note of the stone's luster, or shininess. Like, is it shiny? And what kind of shiny? Is it metallic, glass-like, or more waxy? Think about the associations that might have when you use it in spellwork.

Finally, look at how transparent your stone happens to be. It may not be transparent at all. Or only a little. Or only in bits. Where might that quality come in useful for your spells?

🔮 HOW DO SCIENCE HUMANS GROUP THIS STONE?

There's a hundred thousand ways that scientists group various crystals and rocks and minerals depending on the various weird little traits they have. It's worthwhile to look those up and see what you find.

For example, minerals come in numerous flavors:

Oxides, which are combinations of metals and oxygen, like pretty much any ore,

Carbonates, which are a combination of oxygen, metals, and carbon, like malachite,

Silicates, which are a combo of oxygen and silica and include all quartzes ever,

...and many more.

How might these natural groupings affect your spellwork?

🔮 IN CONCLUSION

Use science where you don't have personal connections to a stone or are unsure a stone's traditional magical uses.

Uh. I don't give a rat's butt about actually concluding these things so just remember I also did a post on the difference between crystals and rocks and minerals and why that matters for a witch.

More later.

Blessings, cubs!

There not fish men (Zosan X reader) P3

Plot: During a freak storm the sunny gets battered sending Nami, Robin, Reader and Chopper over the edge and into the water. Deep sea creatures save them but the rest of the straw hats think their crew mates are going taken.

The creature is based off Lovecraft stories and thank you to @being-worthy for the suggestion <3. Im also going to be adding Jinbe in but im sorry if i get him wrong. Sanji X Zoro X Reader, poly relationship, established relationship, Reader is GN. Reader is the photographer of the crew always carrying around a camera they made (Polaroid) that doesn't include a snail. (Yes the same camera form the Werewolf series)

Warning: Violence and Gross stuff

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Bonus

The Shark Submerge lll skimmed along the bottom of the sea, its bright lights searching for any sign of the fish men or missing crew mates. Franky drove the sub while Luffy sat next to his looking out the main window of the sub. Jinbe stood behind them observing the sea floor looking for any hint or unusual disturbances. Zoro and Sanji were on either side of the ship looking through the port holes, "There's light" Sanji calls out squinting his eyes to look into the distance, there seemed to be light coming form a large crack in the floor, Zoro joins the cook looking out the window as Franky turns the ship heading in the direction of the light. It was too white to be any kind of underwater Lava or Volcano and as the sub got closer they realized how big the crack was, wide and very long. The sub tilted down over the edge to ravel a large bright city, creatures swimming around, massive building, streets and statues. "Wow" Luffy smiles wide before turning to Jinbe seeing the mans confused face "No one is allowed to build at out here" The fish man states trying to get a better look at the creatures swimming bellow. The ship slams into something shaking slightly as electricity sparks around the ship, giving everyone a small electric shock and turning all the power off to the sub. Floating there Franky try's turning it back on and restarting the sub "What happened?" Zoro leans down to ask "The city's got some kind of electric field around it" Franky groans standing up and heading to the back of the sub to manually fix the ship. "Like an invisible force field?" Luffy jumps up, stars in his eyes and a wide smile on his face. Jinbe's laugh rings out through the ship at seeing his captain so excited over the thought but the laughter is cut short by another thud shaking the sub.

The fish men form bellow start swimming up weapons in their hands. One fires something similar to a gun at the sub an electric charge shoots the ship making everything inside start to flicker on and off and Franky to pull back form the wires yelling in pain at the shock he was delivered. "I guess their not friendly" Zoro growls heading to back of the ship Sanji following grabbing some flutter kick coating, so they can move and breath underwater. "Lets take these guys out and get our crew back." Luffy smiles running to join the two but is stopped by Jinbe "Captain, I think its best you stay here. The bubble will protect you but you'll have trouble fighting in it." The fish man was right and Luffy new it but shakes his head "I'll be fine." The captain runs off to join his swordsman and cook putting on the coating and dropping down and out of the ship. Jinbe sighs but doesn't argue offering instead to help Franky fix the ship since he's having trouble.

Dropping into the water protected by large bubbles the three notice that the fish people are more like frog people but it doesn't matter to them as they push forward and attack. Zoro rushes up to the one who's shooting the ship getting his sword out and poking it through the bubble, which closes around his arm and slashing at the frog. It manages to dodge being very quick underwater but the end of its gun gets cut off, throwing the gun aside the Frog kicks at the bubbled only for Zoro to grab its leg and throw it into another Frog coming his way. Sanji rushes over kicking a few Frogs away that are trying to hit the ship, The bubble staying firm around his legs. Luffy throws a punch his arm going through the bubble which closes around his arm to punch a frog. Even though the punch landed it didn't do much but cause a bit of pain, the sea water affecting him. Pulling his hand back Luffy opts to run at it and punch his hand not going through the bubble this time and force the frog down and into the city where it hits the ground hard.

More frog people start swimming up as the lights of the Sub come back on. Jinbe joins them outside swimming up to Luffy, Sanji and Zoro who stand in front of the sub protecting it. The frog people swim up but stop a little away form them, weapons in hand as they look over the group not seeming to want to fight the pirates. One steps forward a little Sanji lifting his leg up to kick and Zoro moving his swords as the Frog croaks and clicks. Jinbe puts his arm out to stop his crew from attacking "Jinbe?" Luffy asks standing down trusting his Crew mate knows something he doesn't " Their language is old, i can't fully understand it, but they don't want to hurt us. Just stop us from going into the city" He states, Sanji and Zoro standing down but staying on guard. "Where's my crew?" Luffy yells only for the Frog people to tilt their heads in confusion but the leader starts making hand signals "What?" Zoro raises an eyebrow as Luffy tilts his head in confusion "Its sign language... They want to know why where here" Jinbe turns to his Captain "I can translate for you" Luffy nods with a small smile looking back at the frog people "Can you ask them where Nami, Robin, Y/N and Chopper are?" With a nod Jinbe starts to sign the Frogs croaking and clicking before the leader quiets them and signs back "Their safe, we saved them. Their helping us find a way to defeat the creature that attacked your ship" Sanji glares crossing his arms over his chest "I saw them grab Y/n and Chopper by the neck how is that saving them?" Zoro nods agreeing with the cook "They could be lying" Luffy looked to his two crew mates before looking back at the Frogs with a large smile "These guys seem ok... Take us to my crew and we can help too"

Jinbe laughs a little before signing, The frogs seem to click and croak with excitement the leader seeming to tell other to swim off before pointing at the sub and signing. "He's telling us to get back in the sub, and they'll take us through the city and too our friends" Jinbe translates Luffy nodding and heading back to the sub the others following. Heading in Jinbe drys off while Luffy, Sanji and Zoro get the bubble off them. "I didn't hear much, are the others ok?" Franky asks sitting in the driver seat as Luffy sits next to him "They seem ok. We're going to help them with that sea king but first their taking us to the others" The captain leans back. "I'm still not sure about this." Zoro groans leaning against the side of the ship, Sanji walking over and joining him. "I have a feeling we can trust them." Jinbe sits down as the sub starts moving following some Frog people who guide them through the city. "What are they? There not fish people" Sanji asks lighting a cigarette and puffing it out "No there not, i honestly don't know what they are but i'm guessing the Protection deal the old kings made was for these Frog like people. Their language if very old, one that isn't taught as much anymore." Luffy shrugs in his seat looking at the city passing by "It doesn't matter who or what they are, they saved our friends and need help" The captain smiles laughing a little as his crew mates sigh.

After recovering form the gross information you were just handed more frog people come in and start loudly croaking, sending the others running off. "What's going on?" Chopper yells out one of the Frog people staying with you four as the others run out, Robin signs to the Frog who signs back its face looking a little panicked "He said a strange Sub has tried to get into the city, shaped like a shark." You all smile and Nami hugs Chopper with glee knowing it's your crew. Robin signs back to the fog whose eyes seem to widen, if thats even possible, before running off to tell the other Frogs before they leave. "Yay, I knew they'ed come for us" Nami laughs spinning around with Chopper in her arms making you and Robin laugh "I just hope they don't cause too much trouble" Robin turns to you only for your hand to be placed on her shoulder "Our boys always cause trouble" you state the black haired woman agreeing with you. Nami finally sets Chopper down "I know they saved us and all but i just want to get out of here and into some proper clothes" she sighs looking down at the sheet wrapped around her body. You and Robin nod in agreement "I just want this sticky stuff out of my throat" Chopper sighs rubbing at his neck making Nami gag a little "Please don't mention it, it makes me sick" covering her mouth the Navigator turns away trying to compose herself.

The large doors open, the four of you turning to see the frog people back and the Shark sub on the floor. The crew inside step out, Franky, Luffy, Sanji and Zoro run over to you all as you four run at them. Nami and Chopper jump into Luffy's arms his laughter ringing out as he hugs the two. Franky lifts Robin up and holds her tight crying as he apologizes over and over again. You run into Sanji and Zoro's arms them both holding you close your face in between theirs kissing their shoulders as Sanji runs his hand through your hair and holds you around the waist. Zoro shoves his head into your neck one hand around your waist and the other around Sanji keeping you all close together. "Im so glad your ok" Sanji smiles pulling away to look at you "Did they hurt you?" Zoro asks moving your hair out of your face seeing a small cut "No they didn't. i got hit by the mast on the ship. They patched me up, even got rid of the rope burn" you smile showing them your hands. Sanji takes the cigarette out of his mouth and put sit out before taking your hands and kisses your palms while Zoro places his lips on yours. The kiss was rough but you liked it only pulling away when he tried to shove his tongue into your mouth "Babe?" he asks confused as to why you stopped him "I'll explain later but... you don't want to do that" you smile reassuring it that its not his fault. Sanji pulls away form your hands to kiss your cheek "What's wrong?" he asks making you look at him.

Nami sighs pulling away form her captain "We really don't want to talk about it" she cringes a little Chopper crying on Luffy's shoulder as Robin giggle. Sanji gulps looking at Nami then Robin and finally down at you, his eyes wondering over your body "A-Are you all wearing s-sheets?" he asks eyes widening as you nod and cheeks go red. Sanji falls to the floor nose bleeding as Chopper jumps off Luffy and runs over to him "Not again" The doctor yells helping Sanji sit up. Zoro can't help but laugh pulling you closer as you both watch your boyfriend try and recover, you playfully slap the swordsman's chest making him look down at you. Franky blushes letting Robin down and rubbing the back of his head while Luffy just laughs at his crew mate. Jinbe and the frog men walk over them clicking and croaking while signing "Oh yes, he's fine" Robin replies with a smile and signing back, the frogs nod before signing to her again. Sanji gets back up tissues in his nose as you hold his arm "You good now?" you ask with a smile as he blushes looking you over. "Captain, I'v figures out a way we can help these people with the creature." she states hoping the captain is on board to help "Oh you mean the sea king, yea we can help" Luffy nods but the Frogs look at him weird shaking their heads "It's not a sea king... its like a deity to them but it brings death and distraction every few decades. They've been trying to stop it or appease it but nothing has worked" she explains knowing full well that Luffy doesn't pay too much attention to her words.

Jinbe clears his throat getting the black haired woman's attention "How do we stop it?" he asks hoping she has answers "Well it comes form a crack in the ground, i'm thinking if we can trap it there then it will be much easier for us to deal with. It can manipulate the weather so if we keep it underwater we'll have a better chance at stopping it" her plan was simple but it will take a lot of muscle and fast work to pull off. "Ok lets take this thing out" Luffy nods wanting to fight the creature again. Robin explains her plan in more detail signing so the Frogs can understand. Franky, Robin and the frog people will work together to build over the crack stopping the creature form getting out. Luffy, Zoro and Jinbe will distract the creature as they do so. Chopper and Nami will stay in the sub to deal with any injuries that might happen while you, Sanji and more Frog people go further down to set up a trap bellow the creature. With everyone in agreement some of the Frogs left to get equipment with Franky, some coming back bringing your stuff. Nami got her staff back and Chopper his little med pack and hat but nothing else "Urm where are our cloths?" Nami glares Robin translating for her, the fog looked sheepish as it replies making Robin blush a little and turn away "What? What did he say?" Sanji asks not liking the look on the woman's face. "he said... they didn't know how our clothes worked so most of them got... ripped up"

Chopper put his hat back on and put his bag over his shoulders feeling a little embarrassed while you and Nami went bright red, Nami out of pure anger while you out of pure embarrassment. Hiding your face in Zoro's chest Sanji joined Nami in yelling at the Frog, Nami stating that they would pay for new clothes as a sorry and Sanji mad that they saw the girls and his lover naked. Zoro sighs patting your head and holding you close, he was mad too, but he knew Sanji could take care of it, meanwhile you needed someone to hold. "Hay baby... it's ok iv got you" he whispers down to you. There are so many questions he wants to ask, but he holds it back for now feeling you shake slightly against him. "This day just keeps getting worse" you whisper back, feeling embarrassed, grossed out and exposed "I know but were here now. Once this is over we'll go back to the sunny and have a nice bath together" Sanji's voice sounds behind you his arms going around you and behind Zoro keeping you in between the two of them "I think you scared it" Zoro laughs a little looking over at the timid Frog Nami is still yelling at but now Robin is trying to hold her back. "You'r beautiful, no matter how you feel" The cook smiles pulling away to take his jacket off and put it around your shoulders. You pull away putting his jacket on feeling a bit better now as you button it up. "Thank you... Both of you" you smile up at them as Sanji moves your face to meet his, placing his lips gently on yours as Zoro's hand goes around your waist the other hand going around Sanji's.

"Baby.. i need to know" You pull away form Sanji to look at the swordsman a worried expression on his face "What did they do to you?" he asks not really knowing if he wants an answer form you. Sanji rubs your side prompting you to talk "Nothing like that don't worry. They fixed up my injures and are really nice, even with the language barrier... but when i woke up.. It was so cold and i was alone, no cloths, feeling weird" you sigh placing a hand around your neck, Sanji's hand moves to meet yours pulling your hand away, so he can place his hand on your neck. "I dove in after you, it had you and Chopper by the neck" Sanji sighs lightly running his hand over your throat feeling for any kind of mark. "I don't fully know how it works but, they made it so i could breathe underwater. i still can but i don't like the feeling, its.... sticky" you look away form them not really wanting to tell them how it got there. "It doesn't feel sticky" the cook states continuing to rub your neck only for Zoro to sigh "Cook, really? they mean... inside" his comment makes Sanji's eyes widen looking you over "How?" his teeth grit together as you turn to look at him taking his hand off your throat "I don't want to talk about it" Zoro looks away holding his mouth Sanji putting two and two together. Their frogs, you didn't let Zoro tongue kiss you, your throat is sticky. "WHAT THE FUCK" Sanji yells catching everyone's attention, even stopping Nami form yelling at the frog. Taking your face in his hand the cook leans in, his face full of anger, sadness and sickness "Which one did it?" he asks only for you to shrug "Which one of you dirty Frogs shoved their tongues down my Y/N's throat"

Happy last day of pride everyone! Here’s an unedited sneak peak at Extinction Part Two

(REMEMBER, THIS IS UNEDITED)

“Kai, hurry up!” I pound the door and hear the rush of water go silent.

“Relax, Cole,” his muffled voice comes over the shuffling of clothes. He opens the door and lets me in.

I bite my tongue and hold back a gasp of shock as he stands there in gray sweats, towel in hand… and no shirt.

“You good?” He backs up and wrings out his shoulder length hair, dripping it into the bathtub.

I watch as he bends over and brushes his hair off with the towel. Averting my eyes, I grab my toothbrush and mutter a weak, “Yes.”

I put toothpaste on it, wet it, and start brushing my teeth as Kai continues talking.

“Ya know, with how many times we’ve rebuilt this place, you think we would’ve put in another bathroom.” He stands and flips his hair over his back like a model, sending a hot flutter through my chest.

I nod in agreement and force myself to look away.

“Wanna go a few rounds in Lava Zombie 2?” He leans into me casually and the heat from his skin makes my heart stop.

I spit out the toothpaste and wipe off my mouth with a tissue, “Oh, I- I- I should get some sleep. I have patrols with Zane in the morning.”

“That’s okay buddy.” He gives me that oh-so charming smile of his, “I get if you don’t want to lose your winning streak.” Kai cracks his knuckles and laughs with a hint of pettiness on his tongue.

“Ha ha, HairGel. You know you’ll never beat me.”

He tilts his head and smirks, looking me up and down. The way he bites his lip makes it seem as if I’m the size of an ant and he towers over me. “You’re probably right. Also,-“ he slicks his hair back and leans in closer to the mirror, “-you mind if I crash in your room tonight? Lloyd kinda took over my bed and that kid kicks like no other.”

“You know I snore right?” Where did that come from? Of course I want him to stay in my room!

He flexes his arms and smiles into his reflection. “Yeah, but I don’t feel like being a third wheel to Nya and Jay or Zane and Pix, plus Lloyd’s room smells overwhelmingly like candy.”

“Okay!” I purse my lips from my burst of excitement, “You can stay with me no-problem.”

“Thanks!” He puts his arm up on my shoulder and I stare at the floor, “I’ll just take your hammock.”

I clear my throat, “O-okay, do you need any blankets?” Of course he doesn’t! He never uses them! He’s the master of fire! He’s always hot!

Literally and figuratively.

Shut up.

“Ha!” He waved his hand at me, “The Master of Fire doesn’t need blankets!”

“Alright then, I’ll see you in a second.” I step out of the bathroom and glance back, admiring Kai’s dark golden skin, the small drops of water that roll down his back, the way his muscles flex when he moves, and…

Snap out of it, Cole!

I shake my head and walk silently into my room, images of him swim through my brain, making my cheeks burn.

I slide the door shut behind me and walk over to the window sill, basking in the warm pink and orange light that bleeds into the clouds like watercolors on paper.

Stepping back, my heart pounds in my ears while I slide open a black dresser drawer and pull out a woven hammock.

The thumping of the blood in my head drowns out the thoughts of Kai, at least until my door opens and artificial, yellow lights spill in, casting his perfect shadow across the floor.

“That was fast.” I laugh quietly, trying to hide the edge on my voice.

Kai walks over to me and takes one end of the hammock from me, “All I needed to do was brush my hair.”

We hang the hammock on the hooks in the walls and he hops in, swinging back and forth about waist high on me.

He puts his hands behind his head and speaks softly, “Thanks again, man.”

“Yeah,” I sit on the edge of my bed, “No problem.” Laying down, I close my eyes and pull a blanket over myself. My heart twists in my chest with an addicting pain.

This stupid crush is only getting worse.

If I made a move on him now, would he accept it?

Probably not, I doubt he even knows I don’t like girls like he does.

There’s always a chance that he would accept an advance, though… right?

The thought of me taking Kai’s hand and pulling him onto the bed with me explodes in my brain with a flash of color. The way I’d pull him under me and watch the steam rise off his body…

Nope!

My eyes snap open.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Stop it Cole, you’re being creepy. You can’t do this. Nope. Nope. Nope.

I roll over and face the wall away from Kai, burying my head in my hair.

Maybe some day.

“Hey, Cole…”

I turn back the other way, “Yeah?”

“I have a question to ask you.”

Regressor Wednesday Addams Headcanons + matching Moodboard

__________________

So, my last post was about regressor Enid with caregiver Wednesday. And though i love this dynamic, i also love the idea of regressor Wednesday. This focuses mainly on Wednesday, though it heavily features a caregiver Enid. I also want to mention i headcanon Wednesday as autistic, which is included in the headcanons. I'm sooo glad y'all liked the last Headcanons. I will try my best to post more!

So hopefully you'll enjoy this 'D

---------------------------------------------------

-She becomes even quieter than usual or goes completely non-verbal, which makes it almost impossible to tell she is regressed

-The only real signs are that she visibly stims more and shows a hint more of emotion (though it is still almost impossible to tell, unless you are very close to her)

-Her visible stims when little include rubbing soft things like blankets or her clothing, rubbing her feet against each other, repeatedly clenching and unclenching her hands, fiddling and chewing on one of her braids (Which Enid is desperately trying to stop: "Wednesday! Stop chewing on that, you're gonna ruin your hair!" *proceeds to chew hair more aggressively*) and more

-With how unnoticeable Wednesdays regression is, at first Enid thought that it's just the way Wednesday is usually.

-After getting to know her better she realized how drastic that behavior change is (for Wednesday at least) and after contemplating it for a while decided to just ask her what is up with that

-Wednesday seemed very reluctant to talk about it. But after getting reassured that Enid wouldn't care what it was, she just wanted to help, she quietly explained that sometimes she just gets this weird fuzzy feeling and feels like a kid again. Wednesday knows that's why she acts differently sometimes, but doesn't know much more about it.

-Enid reassures her that it's ok and starts doing some research online on what it could be and stumbles upon age regression which she proceeds to explain to the other girl.

-When Enid offers to take care of Wednesday when regressed she declines at first (she's an Addams, she can take care of herself) but is eventually convinced by Enid

-even as a kid she never really enjoyed playing in the traditional sense, which doesn't change much when regressed

-all attempts by Enid of getting her to play have failed so far. Things like playing pretend, coloring in coloring books or anything of the like seemed to not peek the small girls interest at all.

-the only things small Wednesday seems to enjoy are typing random letters on her typewriter to hear the noises it makes, listening to music she likes, petting soft things and (surprisingly) watching the lava lamp on Enids side of the room (which consist of her just creeping over to her side of the room and watching it intently, with a barely there hint of amazement on her face. She could do this for hours!).

-the lack of things the regressor seems to enjoy leave poor Enid clueless on how to keep her entertained (even though Wednesday doesn't seem to mind much)

-determined to find something, Enid is continuously searching for something that the small girl might like

-And she soon found it in the shape of a small flocked black cat (yes it is sylvanian families) while out shopping in town

-When presenting the girl with it the next time she regressed Enid was very surprised by her reaction

-Wednesday carefully held the little cat in her hand with a (barely there) look of amazement on her face, lightly petting its soft head with a ghost of a smile on her lips

-and after that there was an inseparable bond formed between the little black cat and Wednesday, both regressed and big (I am in fact giving Wednesday an emotional support Sylvanian families cat)

-when in their dorm you could be sure that little black cat was right at Wednesdays side, be it next to her typewriter when working on her novel, sitting on her bedside table or right in small Wednesdays hand

-regressed Wednesday loves nothing more than petting the cats soft fuzzy body, for hours on end

-Enid never excepted the girl to like her gift so much, so when she felt the time was right she gifted the girl a small set of dollhouse furniture which Wednesday seemed (in her own way) very excited about

-With the introduction of a bed, desk and other small doll-sized items a regressed Wednesday started doting on her little cat even more than before

-Now an very important part of Wednesdays nightly routine is putting her little cat to bed, which consists of her softly telling it goodnight, carefully putting it into the bed and tucking it in.

-after Wednesday warmed up to Enid they occasionally started having small (stimmy) dance sessions (with Wednesday choosing the music of course)

-to stop Wednesday from constantly chewing on her hair Enid gets the girl a black, bat shaped teether

-to Enids disappointment she stills chews on her hair, but will accept the teether and use it instead when it is offered to her

-When Wednesday is regressed she will occasionally ask Enid to read her a story (which usually consists of classic fairytales or kids stories, the more brutal the better)

-Wednesday doesn't like physical contact at all, the only exception are very tight hugs from Enid (which remind her of the hugs her father gives) or locking their pinkies together.

-if she had a really bad day or in some rare moments she needs the company of another person, she will sneak into Enids bed and lay down next to her, no cuddling or anything, just to feel the comfort of another person close to her

-If Enid is struggling to find out what Wednesday wants or needs in the moment (when the regressed girl is either non-verbal or has trouble finding the words to explain) she will often brush the girls bangs back and softly talk to her

-When Enid has the chance to tuck in Wednesday after the occasional request for a bed time story she will give Wednesday a small kiss on the forehead

-in both cases Wednesday will fuss and try to push Enid away, acting like she disliked it (when in actually she really enjoys the affection the other is giving her, though she'd never admit it)

So, hopefully you enjoyed this!

If you liked this, have your own ideas or similar please let me know !

[distant--shadow]

I usually agree with most of your Fearne takes but i don’t think involving the players directly (as in the individuals, not the characters) is necessarily relevant here? Its a little bit of a stretch to think we can assume what these people are thinking of and viewing the situation as. I think most of the cast is just aware of the limited time they have to expand on certain situations. Which of course is a shame!! We want that attention to the relationships that were put a little more to the side. But i don’t think that necessarily means it reflects anything about their personal views and thats a little bit of a far-fetched thing to assume. Not meaning to be annoying about it, I just think in-game discourse should not mix with assessing anything about these people or calling it character mistreatment. I don’t know if I got your point correctly, and if not, I’m sorry. I just think its a reality that the fandom would benefit from accepting: these people have a job and limited time per episode to do it. Fearne has plenty of other ways to shine and I don’t think it is MEANT to be poly erasure (as a poly person myself who was hyped for representation) or that she’s being forced into monogamy. Its just something thats quite hard to balance in the setting they are if they want time for all characters. Hope you have a great day nonetheless :)

ayo, that's cool, I think as far as I've expressed my opinions on here I have described the players and their characters as having "selective hearing" when it comes to fearne stating her views on sexual and romantic relationships for herself - and I stand by that - because as you said and despite of it, yes there hasn't been as much time this campaign for character exploration, and yet fearne and Ashley (discussing her character out of episode time) has stated her wants and interests many times, and since early campaign. I'm not trying to start beef about it, I just, also personally as a point of relating, find it exhausting, especially how a hint of a romantic monogamous ship from her is treated and encouraged and pushed, once again, despite what she keeps vocalising. I've used the term selective hearing because I don't think anyone is prejudice towards it or disgusted by it, but i do think it is being ignored, and I do think that someone who is better at words than me can write an essay on how this is particularly relating to a female character who is perceived as a bit of an airhead/ditzy/comedy relief/doing it for the bit, and also how a lot of people ultimately wish to see a "slutty" character settle down with one person caus it's seen as "growth" (I won't go into everyone except ahston in later episodes post lava pit/shard acquiring ignoring fearnes wishes to not have the rock and not allowing her no's either but I do think the two are related)

but aye, don't feel bad about coming in with your opinions, we're not always gonna agree and I'm just here to share mine. I'm not tryna get anyone called out or anything. I share frustrations about my favourite show caus I care and I'm real enthusiastic about it and that manifests in a lot of ways including drawing fanart and chatting shit.

[life-winners-liveblog]

But anyways- live reactions woo!

(May 9/10/11); The fact that LL!Scott thinks burning alive/falling in lava would be the worst way to die due to continuing to feel the pain. And yet thats how LimL!Martyn killed his Scott

Oh I see, whispers have already hinted at it... Meanwhile Martyn is being asked about food lmao. Also poor Martyn still getting things thrown at him

Oooo Grian's statement about infection is interesting... does that mean someone who died with Wither poisoning still constantly feels the effects? It would be interesting to see. My personal concept of the Wither effect is that long or extreme exposure leaves your skin a very sickly pale, allowing you to slightly see your veins through it, veins of which have been tinged black by the effect. Further prolonged exposure would result in things like the your fingers and hands being stained black, as if all the previous warmth and redness of your skin has been overtaken by the cold painful chill of the withering.

I believe I understand what Scar was truly meaning with his answer. And as someone with a chronic illness... I definitely get it. Slowly watching as your body loses function, even though my body is still technically fine at this point, I will likely need a wheelchair in the next 20 years which is.. hard to accept. Especially as someone who love traveling and hiking. To know I have a time limit. A ticking clock you could say. Its... difficult. It affects you, mentally, to know you only have so long. And unlike the games, there is no way to postpone it. There is no fight to survive. Just... living while you have the chance. Doing what you can with the time you have.

Ah yes, we can always trust Cleo to think of dismemberment. (midway through writing this, specifically Cleo's. my other page refreshed and sent me back to the top... thank you Cleo for driving me insane even in the real world /j)

Also the whole- 24 facets of yourself thing with Pearl- Aeor I could not deal with that. Thank god I'm not the one with the tie. Though I am curious as to how it would affect DL!Scott, and what his different facets would look like.

Aaand there's Martyn with Withering. So perhaps thine Author's thoughts on the matter are similar to my own.

Ooo Pearl with the frostbite. A very understandable answer, though interesting that it is practically the exact opposite of Scott's. Eternally freezing, so cold that it burns. Crystalizing your skin, slowly sapping your energy, till you can do nothing but succumb yourself to your fate. Compared to burning. Truly burning away, a fate DL!Etho and Joel are actually very familiar with. Along with LimL!Scott. Burning to a crisp, or burning away in magma. Either one having to slowly feel the heat burning away your flesh, and melding your clothes and armor into your skin. While it would be a slow process moving around the void constantly frozen, the pain of trying to move with charred limbs embedded with iron... Both fates truly torturous.

OH I FORGOT ABOUT DYING TO THE VOID! Good call LL!Martyn. I forget just how the void technically kills you but I believe it would have to do with the lack of heat sources and air. So yeah freezing and suffocating eternally wouldn't be fun. I guess we could always ask SL!Lizzie what it's like, if she'd be willing to talk about it.

Ohhhh smart! I like the analysis done like this.

Dreamzzz season2 spoilers pt.1

(And my personal comments)

Alright. Starting from episode 1

I didn't realize that Cooper having a sudden interest in chips would be a hint to something later(it probably isn't but it seems like it to me). Cooper apperantly had a full list of things to fix and make... also the Night Bureau really can't do their job done properly can they. How does Cooper go to school? And study? And get good grades?? Also love how everyone names their cars

It was cool seeing Sneak working with them. And Nova, too bad they... uh- dissapear after like... episode 4? I think

Mateo trying to find a way to get z-blob back, and the Nightmare king... why is he such an icon all of a sudden?? Like-

Also, I like that how Mateo got the kid show treatment. Might as well sing 'we're all in this together'

And Dallas joining the knitting club!!

It was pretty nice. Just a simple small detail, but I like stuff like that so... Looks like he's not going to be bullying anyone now

It was very fun watching the crows(ravens? Don't remember) snatch their memories. When I saw what the memories that was stolen were about I started screaming like-

I actually think they all have a good reasoning. Logan always loved his music(would've been better if he forgot how to sing entirely) , Cooper... well he's the tech guy, and for Izzie, she was the who accepted the dream world the fastest. Who liked it the most in the first season right? There are more cool and amazing reasons than this but my stupid brain can't think of anything else right now

Episode 2

Apperantly there's a lava realm? Cool

Mr. Oz being angry, Logan being.. well, Logan. And Cooper is just adorable. He's having so much trouble. His purpose in life kinda snap

And when everyone else just jumps into the castle, Izzie takes her time to take the stairs

And Izzie having trouble with "dont open your mouth" she's so funnn

I had trouble understanding Astrid-

Royce guy has a weird whistle.

Cooper looks so happy until his mind went blank and his face is just- 'dude wait, what was I doing?' I thought he lost his tech skills?? Why did he become... dumber? It's cute though

"Sorry-" _ Izzie

Also, Logan said a lot of smart stuff in this episode. One of my favorites was

"If I forgot it, how would I know?"

Mr. Oz trying SO hard not to swear. I could see the struggle-

And the flash cards 😭 when did they get a rule book?!!(first ep)

Also, how many eggs do you think Cooper cracked. How does he not remember how to not but a bolt and screw together?? Just- stick it in! Learn to do it again? Poor thing

And the Night Hunter! +Susan and Snivel. They're a bunch of sillies

Cooper getting pressured by his family again- (is it just me or does he get his character development after like... two episodes and be the one stable guy holding the team together? He's useful. Like actually useful) Cooper's voice also wouldn't stop cracking

"Do you ever get sand in your eyes? Or your shorts?" (The Sandman had legs?? Yes, had. He... he gone now.)

Also kinda funny how all of Mateo's dreamcrafting gets blob-ified

"The one time! I actually want to hear your beats, and you forget?!"

Zoey! Why would you randomly jump into a cauldron!! (Also, the Night Hunters memory being Zoey- I already had a feel)

Mrs Castillo is the best

I'm also very curious of... what or who the Never Witch is??

There is a lot of pushing and shoving people. And it's only the second episode

Also-

"So you're not the tech genius you used to be. You still got- ....uh.... what other talents do you have?"

Oh godddd noooooooooooo he said it- Oh god........

"I'm gonna go drown my troubles in the candy realm" (kids. Too much sugar isn't good for you)

(He can't even figure out how to put his phone on silent anymore) he got an A+ in a science project, by cooking?? I thought it was a SCIENCE PROGECT??

Imagine a kid suddenly pulling out an apron and asking for a kitchen to work in. During a science project (he's a chef now), he also just... kept the flan? Thing, in his locker-.... is that... okay?

I mean... I did watch this science show on Netflix about these super smart girls and their names being mc². And one of them bakes. Using science. I mean... science works in everything... and I guess if the teachers said okay then its.. okay?

Sandman and Never Witch fighting, he will be remembered. It was pretty cool actually. I wonder if they have any history

Next part

Bonus(also the reason of why I said screw it)

Evolution

Characters behave recognizably canonically: Not really, but I had fun Not abandoned incomplete: Yes (Complete. Enough.) Engaging (Funny/cool/thoughtful/feels): Often enough. Do I recommend it: Not really, but I had fun

Premise: Zerg Queen Taylor; her trigger was augmented by Sarah Kerrigan against future need in another galaxy, but first Taylor's got to deal with stuff in Brockton Bay.

A recent post quipped (can't find it now) that the two most populated categories of wormfic are romance or curbstomp.

This one's more curbstomp. The author hadn't read Worm during most of the writing, and the hinted at future relevance of the Starcraft (and the teasered visit by S9, or the not-teasered Levi, or anything GM) never came to pass. The author finished reading Worm and decided to wrap the story up neatly and I guess someone could write the next arc/chapter if they wanted.

Taylor's growing capabilities have her with Crawler-level ability to become invulnerable, Esper powers, and the ability to boost the skills of her colleagues?

The author's newness to writing, incomplete familiarity with both Worm and--I suspect--Starcraft, and the fact that the fic feels like arc one of at least four? Means I can't recc it at all.

...but I did laugh out loud and kick my feet. If you're a fan of Starcraft or at least Sarah Kerrigan (I'm more the latter; esp. as she was in SC: Brood War) and if this sounds super interesting to you, you've probably already started reading

Spoilers down here because I don't think you'll read the story

I don't hate Starcraft 2, but I haven't finished it. ...and I kinda hate Blizzard nowadays (the character designs in Diablo 3 are unconscionable and the plot pissed me off and they seem to be leaning into everything 'problematic'. If their execs start openly using 'woke' as a pejorative I will be not at all surprised.)

But I do love the Sarah Kerrigan in my head, and I spent chunks of my childhood fantasizing about getting just one little larva and starting my own Zerg hatchery on some blasted unwanted land (there are places on the big island of Hawaii where land is like $3000 an acre because it's all just dried lava, and probably there are places in Death Valley or Chernobyl or something I could use)...

The story was fun in a few ways.

The author was team Wolfspider, and wrote Rachel to be almost instantly ready to lapdog for Taylor because Taylor was so strong and--with her empathic powers--good at understanding and making herself understood. Alec weirded Taylor out because of his sociopath emotions. Nazis were bad and got curbstomped. Lung got a little maternal fight-crush on Taylor after she fought him to a standstill, Danny triggered as a Starcraft:Terran tinker with reproducible tech, and oh yeah; being friends with Taylor means your powers get permanently boosted a little every day. And there's more.

The "wrapping things up because I'm done with this story" finale had Taylor get amnesty and pardons for all her friends and herself and also Canary.

If the story had continued,

the S9 would have showed up (TinkerGirl was chatting with Greg on PHO and also messaged Taylor about her upcoming visit...and was clearly Riley) but Taylor--not actually being shard-driven or having the Corona Matata in her head--would have no doubt won handily and taken big bites out of various S9 people and...well when she tastes capes she gets additional growth (the bite she took of Lung made a big initial difference.)

Gold Morning would have somehow been averted/accomplished. No idea what would have helped make that easier. Maybe Raynor and Kerrigan would have showed up and helped solve the problem? Or some Dark Templar Protoss?

And then Taylor and co would go visit Kerrigan's neck of the woods and solve whatever the major conflict is with the Starcraft 2 storyline I don't actually remember it was kind of boring me and I haven't looked at it in years.

But none of that happened.

But hey; it was a nice few hours of reading.

By my scoring, the story gets 1.5 or 2 stars out of four. ...but if it kept going I would keep reading it. I'm a slut like that.
